Oracle data lookup - Licensing query

Hi,
Not finding the right forum to post this query, so i hope the coffee shop folks can be helpful
We are running SAP R/3 4.7 Enterprise with Oracle 9.2.0 as the backend database (on Windows Server 2003 OS).
Our Oracle license is embedded with SAP i.e., not acquired separately.
For business needs we intend to make read only queries to the backend database (Oracle database lookup) programmatically through Microsoft's SharePoint portal.
For the access methods, one option is to use Business Data Catalog - BDC of sharepoint which queries the Oracle database directly (using xml).
Would appreciate comments on whether this is authorized or we need any additional component / license?
I have already noted the restrictions mentioned in note 581312, particularly point 3 which speaks about SAP provided Oracle license
Thank you
Zubair

Hi Jurjen / Hi Matt
Thanks for the responses. These have been very helpful
A couple of followup thoughts:
1. Actually, the current need i am trying to fill is to read the 'reports to' relationship from SAP so as to fill the manager field/attribute in the Sharepoint User profile. I understand that the right way to do this is through standard interfaces of SAP like RFC/BAPI with the authorization checks in place but unfortunately, my sharepoint developer is unable to use RFC with Business Data Catalog (xml based). Says only a database query is possible. Perhaps he is wrong and i am trying to confirm this. If you have any thoughts on it, please do share.
2.
>If I remember correctly even read only access can muck up the db statistics and so have an adverse effect on the applications.
So this means, database performance logs such as ST02 & ST04 may show incorrect information and it might also have an adverse impact on performance right? or anything else too.
Many thanks

    This should be raised with the SAP Portal, as per your scenario Oracle is not going to support you directly in any case. SAP is going to support you. You can raise SAP Service resquest and can check with them. anyway you'll not be allowed to get lisence seperatly for your existing SAP Database.

  • Problem with different resultset with same data and same query in Oracle 8.1.7 and 9i

    Hello,
    I have been using this query in oracle 8.1.7
    SELECT
    ID,
    AREA_NO
    FROM MANAGER_AREA MGR
    WHERE COMPANY_ID = :id AND
    (:value < (SELECT COUNT(ROWID)
    FROM MANAGER_WORK MW
    WHERE MW.AREA_ID = MGR.ID AND
    (MW.END_WORK IS NULL OR MW.END_WORK >= SYSDATE)))
    order by AREA_NO;
    In the above query I want to see rows from MANAGER_AREA table depending upon date criteria in the table MANAGER_WORK and also upon the parameter :value i.e if I pass a value as 0 I get to see records for which their is atleast 1 record in MANAGER_WORK with the date criteria and if I pass -1 then I get all the records because minimum value that count(*) would give is 0. The resultset was as expected in 8.1.7.
    A couple of days back I installed PERSONAL 9i to test for testing the basic functionality of our program with the same data. This query fails and irrespective whether I pass -1 or 0 it returns me same dataset which I would have got in case if I pass 0.
    I do not know whether this is a bug that has got introduced in 9i. Can anybody help me with this problem. It would be difficult for me to change the parameter send to this query as the Query is called from many different places.
    Thanks in advance

    I cannot use a Group by and a having statement over here. The problem with 'Group by' and 'having' clause is If I have to make a join between the two tables. When I use join then I get only rows that are linked to each other in the table.
    If I use outer join to solve that problem then I have to take in consideration the other date condition. My previous query use to virtually discard the corelated query result by using -1 as the value. This will not happen in the join query.

  • 10gR2, Installation of Oracle Text: Data Mining license required?

    Hello all,
    1. I wonder if I have to obtain a Data Mining license if I want to use Oracle Text. Using DBCA I have to check "Data Mining" to be able to check "Oracle Text".
    2. Does Oracle Text work, when I previously removed data mining using "make -f ins_rdbms.mk dm_off; make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle"?
    Regards, Heiko

    Hello,
    I hava an additional question: how can I find out, which licenses I need?
    The installer forces me to install "Data Mining" to use "Oracle Text", but I can´t find any information why. Does Text use "Data Mining" functionality? Is it just a bug in the GUI? How can I verify, that I don´t have to get licenses for "Data Mining"?
    Thank you

  • License for Oracle Data Guard

    Hi
    For a data guard solution, is the license including in the Oracle Data Guard package or we must buy additional license for the standby database ?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    I will do that.
    But i just wanted to know if a standby database means new license.
    I mean, when the primary database works, the standby database do nothing except get the archive redologs.
    And when the standby database is on, then the primary is down.
    So i didn't see why we'll need futher licences.

  • Info on licensing issues of standby databases/Oracle Data Guard

    Hi All,
    Could anyone possibly give me some information on licensing issues of standby databases/Oracle Data Guard? Links to some electronic articles or journals might be useful. I am unable to find the appropriate info and need this quite urgently for my dissertation asap as my deadline is this approaching.
    Thanks in advance

    Paul Drake posted a reply to a similar question on the Oracle-L mailing list that pointed out that the License Agreement
    http://oraclestore.oracle.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpSctDspRte.jsp?media=os_local_license_agreement&section=11365&minisite=10021&respid=22372&grp=STORE&language=US
    states, in part,
    "Failover: Your license for the following programs, Oracle Database (Enterprise Edition, Standard Edition or Standard Edition One) and Oracle Internet Application Server (Enterprise Edition, Standard Edition, Standard Edition One or Java Edition) includes the right to run the licensed program(s) on an unlicensed spare computer in a failover environment for up to a total of ten separate days in any given calendar year. Any use beyond the right granted in the previous sentence must be licensed separately and the same license metric must be used when licensing the program(s)."
    which seems to open a bit of wiggle room depending on how the term "run" is defined. This is probably also an area where your Oracle sales rep may have a little more flexibility to negotiate

  • Poor MDX performance on F4 master data lookup

    Hi,
    <P>
    I've posted this to this forum as it didn't get much help in the BW 7.0 forum. I'm thinking it was too MDX oriented to get any help there. Hopefully someone has some ideas.
    <P>
    We have upgraded our BW system to 7.0 EHP1 SP6 from BW 3.5. There is substantial use of SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 (BOXI) and also significant use of navigational attibutes. Everything works fine in 3.5 and we have worked through a number of performance problems in BW 7.0. We are using BOXI 3.1 SP1 but have tested with SP2 and it generates the same MDX. We do however have all the latest MDX related notes, including the composite note 1142664.
    <P>
    We have a number of "fat" queries that act as universes for BOXI and it is when BOXI sends a MDX statement that includes certain crossjoins with navigational attributes that things fall apart. This is an example of one that runs in about a minute in 3.5:
    <P>
    SELECT { [Measures]. [494GFZKQ2EHOMQEPILFPU9QMV], [Measures].[494GFZSELD3E5CY5OFI24BPCN], [Measures].[494GG07RNAAT6M1203MQOFMS7], [Measures]. [494GG0N4P7I87V3YBRRF8JK7R] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( [0MAT_SALES__ZPRODCAT]. [LEVEL01].MEMBERS, EXCEPT( { [0MAT_SALES__ZASS_GRP]. [LEVEL01].MEMBERS } , { { [0MAT_SALES__ZASS_GRP].[M5], [0MAT_SALES__ZASS_GRP].[M6] } } ) ), EXCEPT( { [0SALES_OFF]. [LEVEL01].MEMBERS } , { { [0SALES_OFF].[#] } } ) ), [0SALES_OFF__ZPLNTAREA].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0SALES_OFF__ZPLNTREGN]. [LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZMFIFWEEK].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ) DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME, MEMBER_NAME, MEMBER_CAPTION ON ROWS FROM [ZMSD01/ZMSD01_QBO_Q0010]
    <P>
    However in 7.0 there appear to be some master data lookups that are killing performance before we even get to the BW queries. Note that in RSRT terms this is prior to even getting the popup screen withe "display aggregate".
    <P>
    They were taking 700 seconds but now take about 150 seconds after an index was created on the ODS /BIC/AZOSDOR0300. From what I can see, the navigational attributes require BW to ask "what are the valid SIDs for SALES_OFF in this multiprovider". The odd thing is that BW 3.5 does no such query. It just hits the fact tables directly.
    <P>
    SELECT "SID" , "SALES_OFF" FROM ( SELECT "S0000"."SID","P0000"."SALES_OFF" FROM "/BI0/PSALES_OFF" "P0000" JOIN "/BI0/SSALES_OFF" "S0000" ON "P0000"."SALES_OFF" = "S0000"."SALES_OFF" WHERE "P0000"."OBJVERS" = 'A' AND "S0000"."SID" IN ( SELECT "D"."SID_0SALES_OFF" AS "SID" FROM "/BI0/D0PCA_C021" "D" ) UNION SELECT "S0000"."SID" ,"P0000"."SALES_OFF" FROM "/BI0/PSALES_OFF" "P0000" JOIN "/BI0/SSALES_OFF" "S0000" ON "P0000" .

    <P>
    I had assumed this had something to do with BOXI - but I don't think this is a MDX specific problem, even though it's hard to test in RSRT as it's a query navigation. Also I assumed it might be something to do with the F4 master data lookup but that's not the case, because of course this "fat" query doesn't have a selection screen, just a small initial view and a large number of free characteristics. Still I set the characteristic settings not only to do lookups on the master data values and that made no difference. Nonetheless you can see in the MDXTEST trace that event 6001: F4: Read Data. Curiously this is an extra one that sits between event 40011: MDX Initialization and event 40010: MDX Execution.
    <P>
    I've tuned this query as much as I can from the Oracle perspective and checked the indexes and statistics. Also checked Oracle is perfectly tuned and parameterized as for 10.2.0.4 with the May 2010 patchset for AIX. But this query returns an estimated 56 million rows and runs an expensive UNION join on them - so no suprise that it's slow. As a point of interest changing it from UNION to UNION ALL cuts the time to 30 seconds. Don't think that helps me though, other than confirming that it is the sort which is expensive on 56m records.
    <P>
    Thinking that the UNORDER MDX statement might make a difference, I changed the MDX to the following but that didn't make any difference either.
    <P>
    SELECT { [Measures].[494GFZKQ2EHOMQEPILFPU9QMV], [Measures].[494GFZSELD3E5CY5OFI24BPCN], [Measures].[494GG07RNAAT6M1203MQOFMS7], [Measures].[494GG0N4P7I87V3YBRRF8JK7R] } ON COLUMNS ,

    <P>
    Does anyone know why BW 7.0 behaves differently in this respect and what I can do to resolve the problem? It is very difficult to make any changes to the universe or BEx query because there are thousands of Webi queries written over the top and the regression test would be very expensive.
    <P>
    Regards,
    <P>
    John

    Hi John,
    couple of comments:
    - first of all you posted it in the wrong forum. This belongs into the BW forum
    - MDX enhancements in regards to BusinessObjects are part of BW 7.01 SP05 - not just BW 7.0
    would suggest you post it in the BW forum

  • Performance issue with Oracle data source

    Hi all,
    I've a rather strange problem that I'm stuck on need some assistance on.
    I have a rules file which drags data in via an SQL data source thats an Oracle server. If I cut/paste the 3 sections of "select" "from" and "where" into SQL-Developer and run the query, it takes less than 1 second to complete. When I run the "load data" with this rule file or even use the "Retrieve" with the rules file edit, it takes up to an hour to complete/retrieve the data.
    The table in question being used has millions of rows and I'm using one of the indexed fields to retrieve the data. It's as if the Essbase/Rule file is ognoring the index, or I have a config issue with the ODBC settings on the server that is causing the problem.
    ODBC.INI file entry for the Oracle server as follows (changed any sensitive info to xxx or 999).

    One other thing that I've seen is that if your Oracle data source and Essbase server are in different geographic locations, you can get some delay when it retrieves data over the WAN. I guess there is some handshaking going on when passing the data from Oracle to Essbase (either by record or groups of records) that is slowed WAY down over the WAN.
    Our solution to this was remove teh query out of the load rule, run it via SQL+ on a command line at the geographic location where the Oracle database is, then ftp the resulting file to where the Essbase server is.
    With upwards of 6 million records being retrieved, it took around 4 hours in the load rule, but running the query via command line took 10 minutes, then the ftp took less than 5.

  • Oracle Data Miner 10.1.0.2 Interoperate with Database 10g Release 2

    Hi all,
    I cannot connect from Oracle Data Miner to a newly upgraded Database 10g Release 2 with Data Mining option. This database was 10.1.0.2 before upgrade, and I could connect via Oracle Data Miner before the upgrade (though it needs to be upgraded to 10.1.0.3+ for data mining to function).
    I have similar problem for a new installation on another computer. The error message in either case is "Cannot connect to specified Data Mining Server. Check connection information and try again."
    I can use SQL*Plus to login as the data mining user using the net service corresponding to the connect string. I check the v$option and DBA_REGISTRY as per the Data Mining Admin. documentation to verify that the data mining option exists and is valid. I am able to use the same connect string "host:port:SID" to connect from Analytical Workspace Manager to verify that the connectivity is OK.
    Furthermore, some Oracle by Example seems not valid for a DB of version 10.2. For example, at the URL http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe10gdb/bidw/odm/odm.htm#p, the point 6 <ORACLE_HOME>\dm\lib\odmapi.jar is not applicable, because the path <ORACLE_HOME>\dm no longer exists.
    Therefore, I have query if Oracle Data Miner 10.1.0.2 can work with DB 10.2? What procedure should I follow? Please advise.
    Thanks and regards,
    lawman

    I am waiting on the beta version since I have installed Oracle10gR2.
    I've been checking the OTN website every day to see when it is released.
    If it is not a bother, can you send me an email when I can download it.
    Thanks in advance.
    Have a wonderful day/weekend,

  • Oracle Data Integrator 11.1.1.5 Work Schema - List of Privileges

    Hi All,
    Oracle Data Integrator 11.1.1.5.
    Extracting data from Oracle DB for Oracle EBS 12.1.3.
    Customer created read-only schema (XXAPPS) to extract the data from EBS.
    For ODI Work schema we now created one schema 'XBOL_ODI_TEMP' on the source DB. We are now looking for appropriate privileges that needs to be granted to XXAPPS and 'XBOL_ODI_TEMP' so that we won’t face the any error messageS related to permissions when we run ODI scenario?
    We are now facing the error message : ODI-1227: Task SrcSet0 (Loading) fails on the source ORACLE connection VTB_ORACLE_EBS_1213.
    Caused By: java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist.
    Similar previliges can be granted to the work schema on target.
    Venkat

    i think it would be fine with only one schema(user) created at the source system which has got read access on the tables of the EBS DB. Now to resolve this error, assuming XXAPPS user is the one used,
    in the topology --> data server(for EBS) --> physical schema the EBS schema name could be selected for Schema and XXAPPS as the work schema(for all ODI work related objects e.g. CDC)
    Also, in the Data server the user XXAPPS needs to be used which has read access to EBS tables.
    Now everytime ODI generates a query it will access a table lets say DUMMY as ,<EBS Schema>.DUMMY thus the reference is made.
    Alternatively, you can create synonyms for EBS tables in XXAPPS schema.
