Oracle BI Apps with SAP data sources

What is the delivered content provided by Oracle BI Apps to map with SAP data sources?
Thank you!

As things stand right now SAP R3 is only supported on a much older release of BI Apps (7.8.4). That release used the Informatica SAP PowerConnect technology to populate the Warehouse.
I posted before on this forum the list of supported SAP Modules.
BI Apps cannot use SAP BW. BW can be a direct data source for BI EE however.
In the near future our support for SAP will be up to date and back on track. There are internal efforts underway that I cannot discuss here in the forum.

How to select from multiple output tables in the SAP Data Source

Hi,
We're using the SAP Data Source to display SAP data in our portal from the Bapi: BAPI_INFORECORD_GETLIST. When defining the Bapi Meta Data we can select data from one of the two output tables (INFORECORD_GENERAL and INFORECORD_PURCHORG). But we want to select data from both tables (some columns we want to show are in INFORECORD_GENERAL and some are in INFORECORD_PURCHORG) .
How can we do this ?
With regards,
Ramon van der Weiden

You can query multiple TimesTen databases, but your original question was about joining tables from two databases, which is not supported.
Using Cache Connect to Oracle to query an Oracle database is not distributed. It's still one single Oracle database you are querying. You cannot join a table in the TimesTen database with a table in the Oracle database, this is not allowed.
If you are willing to share your business requiremens, we can take a look and see what solution might work for you. Would you like to discuss this offline?

Using ConnBean and CursorBean with a Data Source

Hi all,
I',m making a web app. using the Jdev (RUP4) with OA Extension. I looked in the help menu under "About Data-Access JavaBeans and Tags". Here I found the following example, but for some stange reason I cannot get the setProperty to work.
Example: Using ConnBean and CursorBean with a Data Source This following is a sample JSP page that uses ConnBean with a data source to open a connection, then uses CursorBean to execute a query.
<%@ page import="java.sql.*, oracle.jsp.dbutil.*" %>
<jsp:useBean id="cbean" class="oracle.jsp.dbutil.ConnBean" scope="session">
<jsp:setProperty name="cbean" property="dataSource"
value="<%=request.getParameter("datasource")%>"/>
</jsp:useBean>
<% try {
cbean.connect();
String sql="SELECT ename, sal FROM scott.emp ORDER BY ename";
CursorBean cb = cbean.getCursorBean (CursorBean.PREP_STMT, sql);
out.println(cb.getResultAsHTMLTable());
cb.close();
cbean.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
out.println("<P>" + "There was an error doing the query:");
out.println("<PRE>" + e + "</PRE>\n<P>"); }
%>
Does anyone know how to set the "Property" to a datasource and make it work?
Best regards,
MHCI

There is no point-and-click (Import Data Source Metadata) way to use an LDAP server as a datasource. You have to use the Java Function provided on dev2dev. If you need help with it, please post here.

SAP Data Source for OmniPortlet available for download

What are we Announcing ?
The beta release of SAP Data Source for OmniPortlet.
SAP data source for OmniPortlet makes it easier than ever before to integrate SAP R/3 systems with Oracle Application Server(OracleAS) Portal. With the new SAP data source, one can easily build SAP portlets including search for BAPI Function Modules and Business Objects, configuration of appropriate input and output parameters, filteration criteria, desired views and layouts, portlet personalization, and even portlet-to-portlet communication using parameters and events.
How can I use it?
SAP Data Source is a plugin data source for OmniPortlet. You can connect to any SAP R/3 server and declaratively build SAP portlets with ease. In addition to all the basic features of OmniPortlet, SAP data source leverages OracleAS Portal External Application for secure access to the SAP R/3 instance. SAP data source comes as a zip file, with very simple steps to configure. Learn more about this data source from http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDKRELEASE2/PDKHOME902/SAMPLES/SOLUTIONS/UPLOADAREA/SAPDS/VIEWLET/SAP_DS_VIEWLET_JAN05_VIEWLET_SWF.HTML
How do I get it?
This data source is available through the Portal Integration Solutions page on Portal Studio. You would be asked to enter your OTN user details to download the data source.

64bit CR-Enterprise wont talk with 32bit data source, 32bit IDT wont use 64bit connection for universe. How do I connect them.

Hi.
I installed the full suite of tools as I am involved with a company intended to become a partner and reseller so we are trying to get everything working.
SAP Crystal Server 2013 SP1
BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform
SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise
SAP HANA
SAP Crystal Reports 2013 SP1
SAP BusinessObjects Explorer
SAP Crystal Dashboard Design 2013 SP1
Crystal Server 2013 SP1 Client Tools
SAP BusinessObjects Live Office 4.1 SP1
.NET SDK
I found out that BI was needed only after I installed all the others but I installed it without problem.
My issue is that the Information Design Tool (IDT) which creates my universes successfully, and even lets me open and see the dada no problem. Is using a 32bit (ODBC connected to SQL Server 2008) data source.
However, I am unable to load the .UNX in crystal reports (CR) 2011, so I used CR Enterprise (CRE) to connect to my universe. Now when I try to open the universe I start getting the following error:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
When I do searches online I get very generic information relating to setting up data sources. While I believe the problem is indeed with the data source, I don't believe it is setup wrong.
When I access the universe using the IDT (which uses the 32bit version of the data source to build its connection, it wont let me use a 64bit) I can load a table under the "result objects for query #1" press refresh, I get a list of data.
When I access the same universe using CRE (which "Seems" to use a 64bit data source, but I am not sure), and follow the same process as above. I get the above error.
If I cancel the process, when CRE lists the fields for the report I can later manually map these fields to an ODBC connection. But if I have to do this what is the point of using the universes at all as the end user has full access to all the various DB's available in the data source.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

On the server where Crystal Reports Server is installed, create a 64-bit ODBC connection with the same name as the 32-bit connection. CRS will then automatically use the 64-bit version of the connection.

Using Oracle BI Server as a Data Source for Third Party Tools

I have been researching how to use the Oracle BI Server as a data source for two days now. I have not yet found a solution to my problem.
We have a remote user who is pulling data from one of our Oracle databases using automated tools. This data base is essentially being replaced by Oracle Analytics. However, we do not want this user to get at the physical tables of Analytics, rather, we want the user to be able to connect to the Oracle BI Server itself, and issue Logical SQL to pull data.
Here are the requirements which I need to be fulfilled:
1) The ability for a remote user to connect to the BI Server as a data source.
2) The remote user must be able to do this on a Unix box.
3) The remote user must be able to automate the process of issuing SQL to the BI Server. (Command line interface is preferable)
4) The solution needs to be easily implementable, that is, this solution will be implemented many times over.
I found many articles explaining how to set up a Windows box to connect to the BI Server in this way. However, these articles outline how to use tools like Excel and Microsoft Query to pull data from the BI Server. Our current user is using SQLplus.
If possible, I would like the user to continue using SQLplus as the tool for connecting to and retriving information from our BI Server. I have tested using SQLplus many different ways to no avail. I have also tried using other tools, such as Oracle SQL Developer.
Is there a program out there that will fulfill the needs I have outlined above? Or, does someone know of a way to use SQLplus to connect to the Oracle BI Server as a data source? Or, is there a series of solutions which will fulfill the needs outlined above?

I agree it would be inefficient but only because you are using OBIEE for something it was not designed to do. You are basically asking for a "DB feed" and that should designed using PL/SQL, DB Links, Web Services or whatever is your entreprise standard to send data from one system to another. Using OBIEE for this seems a bad architecture decision to me.You are correct, the BI Server is not really intended to be queried like another Oracle Database remotely. However, the reason we are trying to do it this way is twofold:
1) We want to enforce data level security.
2) The BI Server has been fine tuned for high performance.
Forcing the end users to go through the BI Server rather than directly to the physical tables or other sorts of systems built on top solves both of these issues.
I think you are wrong. I don't see why SQLPlus should be able to query the BI Server. The BI Server can sit on top of many different DBs not just Oracle, even flat files etc. So you can't really expect the BI Server to able to translate all that into Oracle SQL output so you can query it using SQLPlus. The BI Server is not an Oracle RDBMS.You're right again. The BI Server isn't an Oracle RDBMS, and I have been wanting to treat it like one. From the data I have gathered SQLPlus can't query the BI Server.
However, my research has led me to realize that the BI Server supports the JDBC API. Therefore, (I should have went down this route in the first place) one can use the JDBC driver provided by Oracle (bijdbc14.jar) to interface with the BI Server. There are many programs and applications out there that support the JDBC API and let us connect to BI Server the way we want to. Furthermore, these programs are mostly platform independent, as they are mostly written in Java.
Lastly, from what I understand the NQCMD program can be installed on any platform as well (provided by Oracle). This is another option to connect to the BI Server as well.
Thanks for your help and your comments as I went through this process of discovery.

XmlDataProvider .... is gone completely in my Xaml file. Why? How many different ways to deal with xml data source through WPF

I followed a procedure described in a book.
1. insert "Inventory.xml" file to a project "WpfXmlDataBinding" .
2. add the XML data source through the data panel of "blend for 2013", named it "InventoryXmlDataStore" and store it in the current document.
3. dragged and droppped the nodes from the Data panel onto the artboard.
Then I checked my Xaml file against the one provided by the book
Xaml file by the book:
<Window.Resources>
<XmlDataProvider x:Key="InventoryDataSource"
Source="\Inventory.xml"
d:IsDataSource="True"/>

<DataTemplate x:Key="ProductTemplate">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=@ProductID}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Cost}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Description}"/>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding XPath=HotItem}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Name}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<ListBox HorizontalAlignment="Left"
ItemTemplate="{DynamicResource ProductTemplate}"
ItemsSource="{Binding XPath=/Inventory/Product}"
Margin="89,65,0,77" Width="200"/>
</Grid>
my Xaml file:
<Window x:Class="WpfXmlDataBinding.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="922" Width="874">
<Window.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="ProductTemplate">

<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Cost}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Description}"/>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding XPath=HotItem}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Name}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid DataContext="{Binding Source={StaticResource InventoryXmlDataStore}}">
<ListBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="370"
ItemTemplate="{DynamicResource ProductTemplate}"
ItemsSource="{Binding XPath=/Inventory/Product}"
Margin="65,55,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="270"/>
</Grid>
</Window>
All looks quite the same except the <XmlDataProvider ....> part under <Window.Resources>, which is gone completely in my Xaml file.
1, Why?
2, How many different ways to deal with xml data source through WPF?
Thanks, guys.
(ps My "WpfXmlDataBinding" runs without problem through.)

Never do yourself down Richard.
Leave that to other people.
It's quite common for smart developers to think they're not as good as they are.
I coach a fair bit and it's a surprisingly common feeling.
And to repeat.
Never use anything ends .. provider. They're for trivial demo apps. Transform xml into objects and use them. Write it back as xml. Preferably, use a database.

Issue with 2LIS_02_SCL Data source

Hi Everybody,
I am facing the below 2 issues with 2lis_02_scl data source,
1) This is fetching only the records ETENR (Delivery Schedule Line Counter) value with ' 1 ', It is ignoring others ex:2,3 and 4. Hence Data is not reconciling with ECC system.
2) The standard field GLMNG is not getting any data, Data was existed in table(EKET) level. So i have written the code and data is coming now. But the problem is, This is not considering the ROCANCEL indicator it seems. All the other key figures values are coming in with Negative sign When ROCANCEL Value is ' X ' or ' R ', But this field is getting all the positive values irrespective of ROCANCEL indicator. Hence showing the incorrect values compared to the ECC.
Can anybody help me on this,

BI+ Reporting With Multiple Data Sources

Hi -
We've been using BI+ Reports with multiple data sources on separate grids. We are wondering if there is a better way to ensure the user has their point of view bar in sync between the the data sources. In our case, both Data Sources are separate HFM applications with all the dimensions identical except the account which is defined on the report. We are not using Metadata Management.
I'm aware of the "Merge Equivalent Prompts" in the Preferences > Financial Reporting window, but this does not always ensure the users have the same point of view.
What practice are other companies using to make sure the user runs the reports accurately with both point of view bars pulling the same entity/year/period.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your answer, however my question - I know it looks quite messy - is not directly related to data templates, my problem is that at the moment I am using a stored procedure following - almost exactly - what another procedure does in oracle EBS to call a BI publisher report.
1. This procedure populates some temporary table with the xml data where the concurrent request picks it up and uses it to populate the BI publisher template.
2. However I can't go and specify the XML location in my data template as this is not an option for us (i.e. reading the xml from the temporary table), so I am looking for another way to populate the BI publisher template (Note: I can't as well include the SQL queries in my Data template).
Thanks ;)

Oracle Standby DB with SAP - BRARCHIVE and BRBACKUP

Hi experts,
I was requested to configure and standby Oracle scenario for with SAP. After reviewing many different documentation regarding this, I would like to confirm the following with youu2026How do the BRARCHIVE and BRBACKUP tools should be integrated in this standby/data guard configuration? Actually data guard configuration has been already completed and redo logs are being shipping and applying successfully from primary db to the standby db. Please note that no settings for BRACRHIVE or BRBACKUP have been done so far.
From doc. u201COracle White Paperu2014Setting up Oracle 11g Data Guard for SAP customersu201D, it says that u201CThere is no change to BRARCHIVE configuration necessary. It can work like with any other standolane databaseu201D. What changes or considerations would be required on the current data guard configuration to implement these BRTOOLS? For exampleu2026If I start using BRARCHIVE to copy the offline redo log files from the production database to the standby database, its necessary to disable anything from the current configuration?
Hope I was clear enoughu2026thanks for your help.
Regards

Hi Orkun,
If the use of BRARCHIVE is not required or at least is not mandatory to configure an standby db for SAP environments...I've started thinking If I've followed the right process to complete this?
As mentioned if my post the following documentation was used "Oracle White Paperu2014Setting up Oracle 11g Data Guard for SAP customers". Did I follwed the right process or is there any different set of steps to configure Oracle standby DB for SAP using BRARCHIVE and BRBACKUP?
As you can see I'm confused about the Standby DB configuration process for SAP environments.
Any clarification you can provide me regarding this would be highly appreciated.

11i EBS XML Publisher Report with Multiple Data Source

I need to create XML Publisher report in 11i EBS pulling data from another 10.7 EBS Instance as well as 11i EBS in single report.
I am not allowed to create extract or use db links.
My problem is how to create Data Source Connection using Java Concurrent Program.
The approach I am trying is
1. create Java concurrent program to establish connection to 10.7 instance.
2. Will write the SQL queries in Data Tempalete with 2 Data Source 1 for 11i EBS and 2 for 10.7 EBS
3. Template will show the data from both query in 1 report..
Is there any other way to proceed using datasource API...
thanks

option1:
The query should be same @ detail level, only the template has to be different for summary and details.
@runtime, user can choose to see the detail/summary
Disadvantage, if the data is huge,
advantage , only one report.
option2:

Error (WIS 10901) while creating a webi report against SAP data source

Hi,
While creating a webi report against a universe created using Infocube/Bex query (basically SAP data source) get a error message -
A database error occured. The database error text is: A runtime exception has occured. (License key check failed. Check that you are licensed to access SAP data sources). (WIS 10901).
Any clues whether this is a license issue or something else?
Thanks,
-Purav.

I am having the same problem. I checked and double checked everything, including deleting and recreating the Universe and the Connection. No improvement. On a whim, I deleted the hierarchy from the query on which the Universe was based, and recreated the Universe on the query without the hierarchy. The problem went away.
Now, the question is, why do I get the WIS 10901 error when a hierarchy is present in the query/Universe?

Is anyone facing the similar problem of visible lag while opening app with 3G data on? It seems apple has made 5s slow to improve iphone 4 performance.5s was very smooth on 7.0.6 even with 3G data on. Is this a bug? Is apple going to fix this soon?

I have same Problem. I tried all options - Reset All Settings, Erase Content & reset all settings, Upgrated to IOS8.1, Restore using iTune. But problem persists.
When I turn Cellular Data or Wifi ON, then there is a lag while opening the Apps. But If I turn Data/Wifi off, phone becomes super fast. I have checked with my friends. They are not facing this issue. Not sure if Apple know this.

What are the Non SAP data sources supported for Analysis workbooks?

Thanks.

HANA is a data source (which could contain non-SAP data)
For other Excel front-ends that may connect to "non-SAP" data look at Live Office or Power BI by Microsoft - see Excel and Power BI connectivity to SAP BusinessObjects Universes | Power BI
