Oracle's Primavera P6 Reporting Database

Anybody has used Oracle's Primavera P6 Reporting Database? I would like to get some info. Oracle is so busy to answer my questions.
Thanks,
Fouad

The best way is to read the manual as ERDB is very few companies using successfully and thats why Oracle do not have much to tell about expecially from troubleshooting point of view.
Understanding Stage, ODS and Star Databases, ETL process and then using crystal reports to get the desired reports is what ERDB.
Now we got a new Oracle P6 tool called P6 Analytical R1 that works with ERDB R2 for real time analysis and business intelligent reporting...cool stuff but really tricky...
Cheers.

  • Can Oracle 8.0.6 reports connects to Oracle 11g Database

    Hi,
    I know Oracle 8.0.6 report is already out of support. I want to build some environement. In this context, I want to know, where Oracle Reports 8.0.6 can connect to Oracle 11g R2 database ?
    Pl suggest me urgently.
    thanks & regards

    First of all: using the word 'urgently' is inappropriate and rude in a forum of volunteers.
    Edit your post and apologize publicly for using it.
    Secondly your question is a rhetorical one, as it's answer is:

    Thanks in Advance.

    Did you find a solution?
    I am seeing the same problem.  PR was configured using the wizard, it is running in Weblogic, and we are following the post install guide for PR post installation tasks.
    http://test101:8204/pr/admin/login brings up a request for the privileged username and password but nothing works.  This is not unexpected since per the guide, the "Configuration tab" is supposed to appear but does not.  That means that it thinks it is configured when it is not.  I have tried interrogating the files under;  D:\P6EPPM_1\pr.
    I can click on "Click here to administer timesheet application settings" and login as an Admin Superuser.  Trying to log into PR directly (not through administrator) fails, not authorized user.
    Time for a service request unless there is a quick answer.
    Thanks!!!!!

  • P6 user name is not valid for connecting to the reporting database

    No data is available because your P6 user name is not valid for connecting to the reporting database
    I am getting above error in the following environment:
    P6 running on wls instance 1.
    BI Publisger running on wls instance 2
    MS SQL server 2005
    Note that the error appears when I clink on the 'Reports' tab in P6. My admin user on P6 has access to report/analyser modules.
    To connect P6 to BI Publisher I am using 'PxRptUser' in the P6 configuration for Bi Publisher. I know as well that the WSDL URL is correct and I can test this in SoapUI tool.
    In BI publisher I have created the PMDB data source using PxRprUser, and the test of this connection works.
    (Because the report samples come with Oracle flavoured SQL that SQL server does not like, I have configured BI Publisher so I have just a single report left that sources it data from an xml file. This works in BI Publisher. It also helps me in that I do not need to add 'WHERE' clauses and parameters required for SQL server?)
    Furthermore, using a DB tool, I can connect to my SQL server using PxRPTUser.
    So why do I get the error above?
    I picked up somewhere that I should not be adding users to BI Publisher. Funny enough, testing the 'login' method the BI Publisher exposes through its WSDL (as above) I noticed I HAD to create the user PxRptUser in BI publisher application itself (on top of PxRptUser in database) for the login web service to work with PxRptUser
    That did not solve the connection between P6 and BI Publisher though. What am I missing ...
    Edited by: user3674522 on 10/11/2011 20:16

    Thought I found something but can't repliacte, som issue is still there:
    Had a look at the wls instance logs where BI publisher is running, and the error I get is:
    111111_023646955][][ERROR] javax.naming.NamingException: Unresolved naming: cn=admin, dc=user, dc=users, dc=principals at [cn=admin]
    That user, admin, is the one I have used to access P6. Why is this passed on to BI Publisher? I thought the idea was that the PxRptUser set in BI Publisher configurations in P6 would be used?

  • How to use oracle functions in Crystal Reports XI using Oracle Server

    Hi all,
    Is it possible  to use oracle functions in Crystal Reports XI using Oracle Server as Data Source.
    If i try to use a procedure,i am getting error with message "Invalid Arguement Provided".
    Functions are not visible objects like tables,views and stored procedures.
    The  jdbs driver i m using is oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.

    I think it is not possible to add functions in crystal directly for any database. You need to use those functions in a stored procedure and add that storedprocedure as a datasource.

    my main goal is load balancing only
    Then what I've done in 2007 might be what you need. In that thread there is a link to Web Cache Administrator's Guide : there you'll find everything you need to configure the web cache as a load balancer, particularly chapter 8 Setup and Configuration.
    Anyway, here briefly some configurations : we have two machines, say MachineA and MachineB. The DNS resolves MachineA to a virtual address, which is normally assigned to MachineA; if MachineA crashes, it gets assigned to MachineB.
    Users URL looks like this : http://MachineA:<port>/forms/frmservlet?config=<some config>
    MachineA's web cache distributes connection requests between MachineA and MachineB.
    Of course we're now using 11g as well, but that's another thing.

  • Error installing P6 Reporting Database 3.0

    I am a relative noob when it comes to Oracle applications. And my customer has allowed their Oracle support contract to expire, which makes things so very easy....
    I currently have EPPM 8.2 w/Weblogic and OBIEE installed and functional...11.1.1.5....on 2008 R2, with a Solaris backend. I am attempting to install and configure the P6 Reporting Database 3.0. I'm running into errors when running the staretl.bat process for the first time- I believe what is happening is it is trying to pull data into the Star database. It generates the following error:

    I can view those scripts that are referenced, but they don't mean much to me. The info I've posted is from the log files, so you can see how useless it is....when I spool and run one of them individually, to see what the exact errors are, here is what I get:

    I don't pretend to know what the error means, or how I might correct it. Anyone have an idea of where I should start looking?

    I have the same issue, but instead of "Location_ID" it claims that the problem is with "LASTUPDATEDATEX" (ORA-00904: invalid identifier). Oracle DB version is 11g, all of the instances (EPPM, ODS, STAR) are hosted on the same server, but are separate instances.
    How does the Multimedia component influence this bug?
    BTW: Reporting DB version is 3.1 - staretl process has 48 instead of 28 in 3.0 steps.

  • Change report database

    I guys:
    i have a problem when I am trying to change the report database.
    the report is currently using a oracle sql to fetch data into the report. when i try to move it to another database (test envirment) tables' schema name is changed so i basicly want to use another query on the new DB, i use the "database|set datasource location" window put new query in.
    but CR dont let me to. it shows error: "failed to retrive data from database. "
    anyone can help me?
    thanks
    Howard

    You can't if the database tables/fields are not exactly the same as the original report.
    Create a new report and if you want the same feature/functions as the original report then copy paste to the new report.
    Thank you

  • Making Primavera P6 reports and dashboards available to a portal

    Has anybody any experience with making Primavera P6 reports and dashboards available through a portal?

    The My Reports portlet enables you to add an unlimited number of reports created in the Project Management module to the portlet. Once added, you can schedule reports to run at specific time intervals, and then view reports in HTML format or in Excel.
    Tip: The "No data available" message is displayed when you have not added any reports to the portlet.
    You can schedule recurring reports that run periodically at a certain date, or you can schedule a report to run once. When you schedule a report, the portlet submits the job request to the Primavera Job Service. The Job Service processes the request at the scheduled time and runs the report. Keep in mind that the Job Service runs the reports by logging in as the user who schedules the report. Thus, user security and access settings always apply, and the same report might not return the same data for users with different privileges.
    Tip: To schedule reports, you must have the required security privilege and you must also have the Primavera Job Service installed and configured for the database you are using
    If you have any further questions please contact support at http://primavera.com/customer/support.asp.

  • Reporting database advice needed

    I need some advice from you folks that have been doing this a long time.
    I've implemented a reporting database using materialized views. It runs on HPUX 11.23, using Oracle 10.2.0.2.Bottom line is that the performance on it is HORRIBLE. I'm talking on a scale of 1 to 10, it's a 1.
    Are there any other options to doing a reporting database that updates nightly from the production database?
    I'm getting hit hard to get this thing up and functional. But it's so poor, that people won't use it. I've run the sql through the tuner, and it comes back good. Is there some other way of looking into this thing to see where the brick wall is?
    I had thought about using a standby database, running in read only mode. But I learned that once brought online in read only mode, it doesn't update the logs anymore. I guess I could run some nightly scripts to bring it back off line and into recovery mode to update all the logs, then return to read only?
    Is there better options out there? I'm at a loss at this point.
    Thanks.

    Being that the bad performance is coming off a different server, if I understand the environment, have your compared the hardware capability including cpu, memory, and disk?
    What kind of disk do you have, is it stripped, etc ...?
    Are both databases using the same version of Oracle?
    Are both databases running on the same OS and version?
    What do the OS level IO, memory, and cpu statistics look like?
    What kind of network connection do you have between the two machines? Has anyone verified that the network card is set to full duplex? Has anyone even looked at the network for this situation?
    HTH -- Mark D Powell --
    PS - Is the second server physical or virtual? There are a lot of things that can impact performance. You have not provided much in the way of what the environment looks like. Reviewing the answers to the above questions may allow you to spot the problem.

  • Reporting database concept

    Hi Experts,
    I am looking for best concept for reporting database. Requirement is to send to data warehouse system aggregated data from my database. The idea is to have something like DWH area and prepare data before export. This (let’s say) DWH area can be a separate instance or can be in the main database.
    I am taking into consideration data guard mechanism but I do not want to have whole database – I need only a piece of data from several tables.
    The next idea I have in mind is to simply get data from main database and insert it into the DWH area – but this operation can be very resource (and time) consuming.
    Is there any out of the box Oracle mechanism to develop such as architecture?
    Maybe you have any other suggestion how I can prepare this mechanism to prevent database kill?
    Thank you in advance for your help,
    Michal.

    DWH design is not something that can be answered on a forum. There is just too much detail to explain. Get a good book on the subject.
    It all depends on the data structures, size, transaction volume, and reports you want to run.
    If you want to move a subset of aggregate data to a reporting database (or reporting schema), then you should read up on database links, "merge into" statements, mviews, and streams. Also read up on the OWB product, fact and dimension table design, and bitmap indexes.

  • Reporting database - copy of production. How to create?

    Hi!
    To offload our production environment from heavy queries caused by reporting needs, we need to set up a reporting database. This database must be a copy of our production database. However, the reporting database can be lagging behind the production environment by some time (let's say an hour or so).
    The reporting database may be read-only if that makes it more easy to set up and administer.
    We would like the reporting database to have minimum impact on our current production environment. Preferably the coupling should be non-existent, meaning that the production environment should not know about the reporting database.
    The reporting database can initially be created by a copy of production.
    We can also accept downtime on the reporting database in case creation of new datafiles, or any other reason, in the production database requires a recreation of the reporting database.
    We are currently running Oracle 9iR2, but are planning to upgrade to Oracle 10gR2 later this year. We are running in an enterprise environment.
    Could you please suggest to me how to set up a reporting database as described here? A solution for either Oracle 9iR2 or 10gR2 is welcome.
    Thanks in advance for you help!

    In addition to what previous poster said, you may use Archiver Transmission with maximum performance mode for your standby DB.
    If you choose logical standby, then it can be queried while it is actualizing (constantly), but may not support all data types and DDL operations from your primary DB.
    If you choose physical standby, then these limitations are gone, but you can use it for reports only after interrupting the actualization (versions before 11g, that is) for the time of your query, opening the DB read only.

  • Oracle Developer 6 applications with database 10g

    Hello,
    My all applications are developed and running in Oracle Developer 6 with database 9i. But now i want to use
    database 10g with these Oracle Developer 6 build applications.
    Already compiled files (with dev 6 and DB 9i) are runing with database 10g quite nicely,but when i try to
    recomplie the source files of these applications with 10g database i got the fowlloing error.
    ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [17069], [45468896], [], [], [], [], [], []
    After it i open these Oracle Developer 6 applications source files with Oracle Developer 6i and use 10g database,
    compile and run very easly.
    I think it is old version problem .But my development team dont want update all applications to new version (6i or other) yet.
    Is there any solution to use Oracle Developer 6 applications with database 10g ?
    Thanx.

    The general rule is "Ora-00600s (and 7445s, 3113s) are to be reported to Support". Look in Metalink to see whether any one else has reported it, based on the first argument. If so, there may be a workaround or a patch.
    Since you are asking this generically without database version, patch level or operating system, I assume you are using the unsupported free download and do not have access to Metalink. In that context
    1) What is the problem:
    The problem is your request (QSL, PL/SQL, Java) is hitting a bug or abusing a part of the Oracle software in an unexpected way. ORA-00600 is simply one of the 'unexpected and unhandled exceptions'.
    2) Required action:
    Since it is unexpected and unhandled, there are several ways to proceed:
    - Search the net for the first argument (ktspgetmyb-1) to see whether someone has a workaround
    - Reproduce and Simplify your offending code until you find your own workaround.
    Often this happens with some sql statement

  • Oracle 10g Help?Create database error

    Hi Pete,
    Oracle Express Edition creates a database automatically when you install it and the product is limited to one database instance per machine. Perhaps you are confusing users/schemas with what you may term a database. An Oracle database instance can be broken down into logical units called users or schemas. If you wish to create a database of books, you should create a user called books and then log on as this user and create your database objects. To make things simpler, Oracle XE comes with a browser interface based on Application Express. You can use this to create schemas, database objects and applications (forms reports etc) to access and manage those objects. Further to this you should RTFM.
    Regards
    Andre
