Oracle BI Groups, Roles and permission through external Table

Hi,
We are using SSo integration with Oracle BI 10g. We need to fetch the roles , permission and groups through an external table to our Oracle BI Dashboard. Please let me know if this is possible.
Thanks,
Aditya Arya

Thanks a lot shru.
I have achieved this User authentication through external table but the roles, groups and permissions are assigned inside Oracle BI only. I need to get the roles from an external database table and map the users in that database only. I do not want to use the administration screen in Oracle BI to achieve this.
Also, I need to know what is the OBIEE variable i can use to override roles, as we use USER for adding a new user and the values that can be used to map the permissions.
Thanks,
Aditya Arya

BI Publisher - SuperUser not able to acces Roles and Permission Page

I have set up the BI Publisher as said in http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/bip/configuration_bip.
But
1. SuperUser is not able to access Roles and Permission.
2. I'm not able to access the BI Answers Catalog.
I also have a doubt about the BI Server Admin. Is it the RPD Admin?
Kindly Help

Error in accessing data through external table

Hi,
I am getting the following error while trying to view data through external table,
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04062: no data source specified
ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 19
according to this error "KUP-04062: no data source specified", location should be specified and i have specified the location as
LOCATION (<diectory_name>:' '),
then also it is giving the same error.
Please Help!

I am also got the same error when retrieving the data from external table.
I resolve this problem, like this:
1. I imported the flat file(.csv) into repository.
2. Map that flat file fields to database table cols.
3. Deployed the mapping using controlcenter, and run the mapping.
4. if it fails there, i loaded the flatfile data through the command prompt using "sqlldr" statement and control file is our mapping control file.
5 Then it loaded data into database table sucessfully.
Thanks.

Just so I'm clear, user1 connects to the database server and runs the spool to generate a flat file from the database. User2 then uses that flat file to load that data back in to the same database? If the data isn't going anywhere, I assume there is a good reason to jump through all these unload and reload hoops rather than just moving the data from one table to another...
What is the NLS_LANG set in the client's environment when the spool is generated? Note that the NLS_CHARACTERSET is a database setting, not a client setting.
What character set is the text file? Are you certain that the text file is UTF-8 encoded? And not encoded using the operating system's local code page (assuming the operating system is capable of displaying Japanese text)
There is a CHARACTERSET parameter for the external table definition, but that should default to the character set of the database.

How to create a report of users in ucm about their roles and permission

Hi All ,
I need to create a report and it should contain all the users in ucm as well as their roles and permissions. Basically the report would be for the admin who can see all the users in a single report and can know about the roles and access of each and every users.
How to create such report ?? I have tried from web layuot editor but the default report template i.e stdUserReport in user datasource does not contain more than three fields..Is there any method to get such kind of report???
Please suggest!!

There was an example component to demonstrate this kind of function. Under Stellent in version 7.5
I do not know if they hand it out anymore but it is not on the standard samples page for Oracle. You may want to open a Support SR to ask for it. It should still be around in their servers if they can get permission to hand it out as a sample again.
Sample CustomReports component to demonstrate how to create customized reports
CustomReportsBundle.zip
Date:     October 30, 2006
Sample Version:     version=2006_10_20 (build 1)
Product and Version:     Content Server
Sample Status:     This is a Stellent Sample. Stellent Samples are free and include non-supported add-ons, utilities, tutorials or programming examples. It may require additional configuration or security auditing for maximum effect. It is not supported by Stellent without a consulting engagement.

Oracle Production Support Roles and Responsibilities

I am currently working in Application Support from past 4 years and I have applied for a opening in Oracle Production Support environment and it is different from DBA.

What kind of issues comes and how to troubleshoot them?
I actually need to understand the nature of this job in detail and few interview questions that can be asked for this position.
Any kind of help will be appreciated.

In addition to Joe's questions regarding if you don't know the answer, then how do you know you want the job .......
Regarding job titles:
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less."
(Lewis Carroll - Through the Looking Glass)
And so it is with job titles. Any given job title means only and exactly what the organization chooses it to mean -- "neither more nor less".
Even though we work in a technical industry, not every term you see has a universal, fixed, immutable, technical meaning. Not even close.
My first two jobs in IT were in shops that had exactly the same set of job titles for Programmers --
- Programmer/Analyst I
- Programmer/Analyst II
- Programmer/Analyst III
In one shop, the Programmer/Analyst III was the most junior of the three.
In the other, the Programmer/Analyst III was the most senior of the three.
So, you tell me, what is a "Programmer/Analyst III"? What is a "development DBA"? What is a "production support DBA"?

Roles and Permission

Hi,
I would like to understand the concept of permission a little better.
I have create a Role and assigned it to the a newly creeated test user. The User has only one other role 'eu_role' ( SAP's Standard user role).
When I look into the permission editor for the custom role the only user that have end user box as checked is system_admin_role.
My point is since the user ( to whom this role is assigned) doesn't belong to the super_admin category, he should not see the Role when he logs in. However the role is appearing as the user logs in.
In that circumstances , I am failing to understand the function of the permision provided in the permission editor,
Can any bosy help?
Thanks
Arun

Hi,
I am sorry if I confused both of you.
Here is my point.
I created an user( say usr01) and by default this user is already assigned the eu_role( actually by default the user is assigned to group 'Everyone' which inturn is assigned to this role 'eu_role') . Now I have created another Role ( SAY role1) and assigned it the user usr01.
Now when the user usr01 logs in the menus related to role1 appears. please look at the permission editor set up as shown below
Name                 Administrator   end user
Administrator          none            Not checked
content_admin_role     Read            Not checked
Everyone               Read            Everyone
super_admin_role       Owner           checked
system_admin_role      Full control    Not checked
user_admin_role        none            Not checked
Dose any of the above setting influence whether the usr01 will be able to see the role after loging to the portal. Can we change the permission in such a way so that despite being asigned to the role role1 the user usr01 IS NOT ABLE to access/see the menu items for the role
In otherword what are the significance of the settings above in th epermision editor for the role.
Thanks
Arun

External table creation went through successfully but am getting error while reading data. Am quite sure error is because of above line in red color. Could you please help me in transforming logic.
Thanks in Advance,
AP

Let's start with the basics...
1) You state that you are getting an error. What error do you get? Is this an Oracle error (i.e. ORA-xxxxx)? If so, please include the error number and the error message as well as the triggering statement. Or is the problem that rows are getting written to the reject file and errors are being written to the log file? If so, what record(s) are being rejected and what are the reasons given in the log file? Or perhaps the problem is something else?
2) You state that you are quite sure that the problem relates to the hilighted code. What makes you quite sure of this?

Reading through external tables

How can I read multiple .csv files kept at a location into one external table.
eg:
create table ext_table_csv (
i Number,
n Varchar2(20),
m Varchar2(20)
organization external (
type oracle_loader
default directory ext_dir
access parameters (
records delimited by newline
fields terminated by ','
missing field values are null
location ('file.csv')
reject limit unlimited;
In the above example I read the file "file.csv"
I have a directory where this file "file.csv" is kept.
I have many such files kept in the same directory and these files are kept by some other entity and i dont know the names of all the files and also not hte number of files. I only know that these are .csv files
Is there any way in which I can read all the files , something like wildcard as *.csv or anything else.
thanx in advance!!!
Edited by: Commander on Dec 4, 2008 10:39 PM

you can you the following command to get all the list of csv files in the folder.. like
ECLARE
pattern VARCHAR2(1024) := '/u01/oracle/admin/SID/udump';
ns VARCHAR2(1024);
BEGIN
SYS.DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.searchFiles(pattern, ns);
FOR each_file IN (SELECT FNAME_KRBMSFT AS name FROM X$KRBMSFT WHERE FNAME_KRBMSFT LIKE '%.trc') LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(each_file.name);
END LOOP;
END;
Note: it only available in 10g
Reference: http://www.chrispoole.co.uk/tips/plsqltip2.htm Then you can use dynamic sql to create a external table or only alter the location of the csv file..

How to "group by" and display in separated table views

What cloud be the approach to the following scenario:
1) A RFC returns a list of lot of invoices.
2 How to group by "customer code" and display in separated table views for each customer "group of invoices" ?
Is there a way to do this using VC or only using WebDynpro ?
thanks

Issac,
you dont hv to do this using dynpro. you can achieve this in vc by using the 'Filter' operator. from the output port of the rfc, feed the results to multiple filters. hv one filter for each segregation (for eg for each customer code). Then feed these filtered entries to the table views.

Running iTunes and iPhoto through external hardrive.

Howzit.
I need help, my memory capacity is FULL, i would like to run my itunes and iphoto options (completely) through an external hardrive to free up space on my mac.
Please explain clearly and sytematically I'm a beginner and learner yet.
Thank you so much

iTunes is simpler than iPhoto at doing this, as it has the ability in its preferences to use a different folder for organizing music. However, I would warn against doing this, as external hard drives have been known in the past to disconnect, and have problems with Spotlight indexing a lot more frequently than with internal drives. Also to add to that, it makes backing up such files harder as a simple clone of your internal drive won't backup the files you move to the external. You'll have to manually backup those files elsewhere whether DVD, or a second external hard drive. Here's my FAQ on backing up:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
If you are willing to take the risks involved and are prepared to work with them, I believe you can do this by Quitting from iPhoto and making a Unix shortcut to the external drive replacing your existing Pictures folder on the internal drive once the Pictures folder is on the external drive. I'm not sure which command line ln command makes the right type of link, but I'm sure with some research you can find it.
Edit: your Powerbook will take up to 160 GB internal ATA/IDE 2.5" hard drives. You might want to seriously consider getting that.

JDBC and creation of external tables with positions

Hello,
this might be a trick question or I am probably running around in circles with this one. I know that it is not possible to call pl/sql command ("set define off") using a jdbc connection. Correct me on this one if I am wrong ;)
So the point why I want to that is because I want to execute the following stmt using a CallableStatement:
prompt
prompt: CREATE TABLE "TEST_IN"."TEST_RECEIPT_EXTERNAL" ...
prompt
CREATE TABLE "TEST"."TEST_RECEIPT_EXTERNAL"
("APPLE" VARCHAR2(8 CHAR)
,"PIE" VARCHAR2(1 CHAR)
,"RECEIPT" VARCHAR2(58 CHAR)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY "TEST_IN"
ACCESS PARAMETERS
(records delimited by newline
fields (
APPLE position(1: 8) CHAR(8),
PIE position(9: 9) CHAR(1),
RECEIPT position(10: 67) CHAR(58), )
LOCATION
("TEST_IN":'FLIP.FLOP.19760104170600'))
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED
PARALLEL 1
which gives me back the expected error:
Missing IN or OUT parameter at index:: 1
Any thoughts on this one would be very helpful - thanks in advance,
Sascha

Perfect - did not thought that the behavior of Statement, CallableStatement and PreparedStatement is different. In retrospect and thinking about the use cases of the implementations I probably should have thought about that my self.
Thanks a lot - problem solved :)

How can one page forward and backwards through a table?

I want to use mutli-pages in my web order search .But I don't know how to do?
Please help me!

If you are using CS4, there is a Command to create a Web Album... this does it automatically for you.
Otherwise, you can create this manually. Say you have 3 pages,
page1.html (is the index page of the album)
page2.html
page3.html
Therefore, using ordinary text links
Home would link to page1.html
Previous would link to page3.html
Next would link to page2.html
You would need to make adjustments naturally to each page as you move along with the gallery pages, changing the previous and the next links as needed. Below is a a basic example of setting up the links in a simple table structure. You would also then style the table layout as you see fit - yes, using css preferably :-)
<table>
<tr>
<td><h2>MY GALLERY OF PHOTOS</h2>
<a href="page3.html">Previous</a> | <a href="index.html">Home</a> | <a href="page2.html">Next</a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<br>
<a href="../images/img_2401_jpg.jpg"><img src="../images/img_2401_jpg.jpg" border=0></a><br>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Here's an article on creating an album using the DW Command I mentioned earlier. You could create the album and then copy and paste the code into a current page if you've already designed on.,... not too difficult, I just tested it. You do however, need to have Fireworks to process the images.

You could also check out the Lightbox effect which is very popular:
http://www.lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/
Or do a google search for 'jquery'. There are different album effects using that framework as well.
Hope some of this helps :-)
