Oracle - Salesforce Integration and xml/BI Reporting

Hi All,
Any one has done real-time data integration between oracle and salesforce.com.
We are using oracle E-Bunsiness suite 11i and salesforce and want to integration between these two applications so that we can generate BI/XML publisher report from salesforce data for users.
Thanks
Ravi

Hi Jorge,
This is good idea but we have to spend $ for this kind of application.
I have done with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i (Web service integration).
Now i can generate any report like Discoverer or BI Publisger report from salesforce data.
Now i am set.
Thanks
Ravi

I have no experience with this, but MOS Doc 1170314.1 (Does BIApps INFA include license for SalesForce.Com connect) seems to suggest that some built-in integration is available with OBIEE. Your Oracle salesperson may have more information.

What are correct steps of integrating and using jasper report with ADF 11g?

Hi,
I am using JDev 11.1.1.2.0 with ADF 11g.
I want to use jasperreports 3.7.0 along with ADF 11g to build reports in PDF on a button event. This is the first time I will be attempting it so before starting up I went through forum to get exact and clear steps on the jars and integration points of jasper with adf. There is exhaustive list but still it does not have the needed clarity.
Can anyone help in listing down the jars and integration steps? and also want to know if there are any points in particular that I need to be aware of while running i along with ADF faces.
Pls note the ver. of jasper and adf mentioned above.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Basically, you need to:
- have all the jars in ViewProject/WEB-INF/lib, and include them to the project (Project properties -> Libraries and Classpath) - last time I did this was with version 3.1.3 and the necessary jars were jasperreports-3.1.3.jar, jcommon-1.0.0.jar and iText-2.1.4.jar (plus poi<+whatever is the latest version+>.jar if you want to generate .XLS reports)
- call the code for generating reports from your backing bean (button's actionListener)
- flush the report to the client (directly to HTTPResponse or by using af:fileDownloadListener)
Those are the general steps, without going into the coding.

Oracle Hyperion Workspace and Hyperion Interactive Reporting

Hi All,
I'm in a urgent need of downloading Hyperion workspace. I was able to download and install Hyperion Shared Services under "Hyperion Foundation Service". But There are no Hyperion Workspace to download under "Hyperion Foundation Service". Moreover the link to download Hyperion Interactive Report studio is not working and displaying "page not found" error. Can anyone suggest me how to download these two softwares?
Thank you

I do not know much about Hyperion either :-) I would go thru the Install docs at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/index.htm

My question is i m transferring this XML to a third party webservice and it does inserting into a third party application.
The problem is if you look under EnquiryAttribute tag ENQATTRIBSTRINGVALUE and ENQATTRIBTYPECODE i need this to be in lowercase.
As the xml is getting automatically generated how do i achieve this. I feel them in the uppercase is causing problems at the other end.
Any help appreciated

Oracle 11g Client and XML DB

We have moved our applications in a mix environment (DB on Linux and App. Server on Windows) on Oracle 11g.
On the past we have tested the applications and they were working, now seems nothing is ok, it is like the 10g instant client on Windows is unable to communicate with Oracle 11g DB working on XMLDB.
May I ask if someone have seen the same problems?
Testing on Windows all the environment it was all working, but it was installed all on the same machine.

Ozark DBA wrote:
Just need confirmation that the old 10g Java based Enterprise Manager is gone forever with 11g and there is no management console in the 11g client installation (at least I cannot find one). Confirmed. Same as in the Database install.
And after searching the threads ond Oracle documentation, it appears that I can install 11g database on my local pc and then have a dbconsole (not grid control). Please confirm that this dbconsole only points to the specific database installed on the same local pc, and it cannot be used to manage remotely located 10 or 11g databases. Confirmed. The DB Console is tied to one ORACLE_HOME one one HOST for one INSTANCE. The HOST and INSTANCE are used in the directory naming (of all stupidity) and configuration file contents under the ORACLE_HOME.
I am still in the planning stages for grid control installation and would like to use the smaller enterprise manager - java control. But again, there is no such Oracle application for 11g now? I must use grid control to manage multiple databases?Confirmed. Fortunately, the Grid Control is included in the Database license as per the database Licensing manual, and you can put the Grid Control on a separate machine. Since the Grid Control is fed using a single agent for all product (database, and anything else) on the target host, the Grid Control puts on a much smaller footprint on a database machine than even the old Java console.
Note that the 11g Grid Control will be (at least) announced tomorrow by WebCast - check OTN.

Oracle Data Integrator and API

Hi everybody,
I have to load datas from heterogeneous sources, including some datas which can be retrieved only by calling some API, or which must be parsed before.
I would like to know if ODI is able to call APIs ? and how ?
Thanks in advance for your responses.

Hi everybody,
I can't find any sample which shows the different steps to integrate some third party sources.
I have to integrate Reuters and Bloomberg data sources (and other data sources), and I'd like to write wrappers to retrieve datas from these databases. These wrappers will be called by ODI like any data source. How can I do that ?
If someone has any other idea, please let me know.
Thx in advance.

Oracle Service Bus & Salesforce Integration

Hi there,
Does anyone know if there is an Oracle-issued or 3rd party adapter for use with OSB in integrating to Salesforce?
I came across this thread created in February,
Re: Adapters for Salesforce Integration
and was wondering if anyone has any further updates or thoughts since then.
This Oracle PDF does very briefly mention a salesforce.com adapter..
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/developer-day/otnvdd-soademo1-mediator-494868.pdf
Any ideas as to how we could find more information?
Thank you!

interesting
would like to know what functionality the adapter is supplying.
we currently have integration from the soa suite with salesforce, but this is just for the authentication, the calls after this are plain webservice calls, so i'm wondering what functionality is build in the adapter itself.

Installing Oracle TEXT and XML DB Components on New Instance

I was told this may be the best place to ask my quesion
I have set up a New Instance or Oracle on a Solaris Unix box that already had Oracle 10g installed.
The instance was created fine, however I need the Oracle Text Component and XML DB Component installed as well.
Those are not installed with this instance. They are installed on the other instance on the box that was setup when oracle was first installed.
How can I add these components to this new instance?
DBCA was not used when the instance was created. The DBA here does not care for this tool.
Thanks

Hi,
the installation of XMLDB is described in the XML manual: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14259/appaman.htm#sthref2372
the installation of Text is described on Metalink in document 280713.1.
A nice document to start is on Metalink, it is document 472937.1. It gives Oracle components and the links how to install the components on different versions of Oracle.

XML Publisher Report in EBS without Standard Oracle Report

Hi folks ,
i have some questions.
Can I create a XML Publisher Report for the EBS without a Standard Oracle Report in EBS.
So that I can build up the files with the Desktop Publisher, create Data Definition / Template with Upload / Create the executable und concurrent and than only start the new program in EBS ?
I have the situation that I can start my program with the template in the background but ít is searching for the report on the file system.
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
regards
Kay

Hi Ravi ,
can i do it only with the xml Publisher , because when i tried it in the past and get all the staff like Template / DD / CP up and running and started the CR i get an error from the system that he is missing a report directly in the file system... so he searched for the report himself on system like a standard 6i Report. But the template and the dd is stored in the db. So my question again, can I use the XML Puplisher without a Standard Report or can i use a dummy file only for checking and after that he use my template / dd.
regards
Kay

Layout issue while trying Migrate Oracle Report to XML publisher Reports

Hi
I am trying to Convert Seeded Oracle Reports (rdf) to BI Publisher reports, in doing so encounter layout issues. The layout of the RTF , PDF or HTML generated by BI Publisher is different form the text, PDF or HTML outputs generated by the concurrent report. The problem with the BI Publisher template and out put
Is, the lay out is getting distorted .
Steps to archive the migration :
-     download the rdf from the server to local m/c.
-     execute Forms 9i Util rwconverter to generate a xml
-     use the oracle.apps.xdo.rdfparser.RTFTemplateGenerator API to generate a RTF template of the report layout
-     Then use this template to generate a XSL via oracle.apps.xdo.template.RTFProcessor API
-     The Apply the XSL on the XML data output of the report using oracle.apps.xdo.template.FOProcessor to generate RTF , PDF & HTML files.
Name of the Report used for migration “FSG - Report Detail Listing” , responsibility GL super User. This was just a random report we picked-up for trial.
The layout of these files seems to distorted than the layout of the original report output as generated by the rdf report.
Pls suggest some means to resolve this or any pointers towards what causing this could be of help.
-     Shudipto

The process of "converting" an old Oracle Reports rdf into a BIP report is more akin to writing a brand new report in BIP than to what most people would consider a true conversion.
The conversion routine outlined by Oracle just gives you a starting point for converting RDF layouts into BIP, and nothing more. In regards to the data define it does somewhat better generating your queries and XML layout (but honestly, that is the easy part), but even for the data define it will lose your formula columns as well as report triggers.
I have used the converter on several dozen rdf files and I have yet to see one that is better than 10-20% ready for use after the conversion process.
I would strongly suggest that you only convert the reports that you have to convert (for enhancements, modifications, etc). If it ain't broke in old Oracle Reports, dont' try to fix it in BIP.
