OWB SDK question

Hi,
I want to create my own meta data (Tables) in OWB repository. I assume I can use the SDK to do that. Can I create a Table with a XMLType column? How do I locate that Table in the OWB repository? Will the Table be created in OWBSYS account? Can I create a view based on that Table?
Thanks,
Denny

To my experience, using the OWF for these things is not very practical. I would suggest that you would make your own PL/SQL procedude that does this, and then call that procedure from within the actual mapping (post-mapping), using the values you have there.
This might not be what you want, however. I simply find the email capabilities of OWF too limited for actual work.

OWB SDK - where is the download

Hi!
Where is the link to downlaod the OWB SDK?
Thanks!

Hey Dave,
What is it that you want to download? The entire text for it or the code samples? The SDK is a work in progress, so priorities are welcome :-)
Thanks,

Concurrent report export using enterprise SDK question

Hello, 
Our company uses Enterprise SDK to export report to PDF. We test our software using CR Server 2008 trial version. I am looking for advices for following questions: 
1. As out testing server is trial version at the moment, it does not complain or generate any warning messages on numbers of concurrent users (we can only view current sessions and licenses from CMC). Could someone please let me know what will happen when full version CR server detects that max limit concurrent users access has reached? Will the server notify SDK, and SDK will generate exception; or the request will be queued until any other concurrent user end his session. 
2. We implement an EJB to invoke SDK process. While EJB itself is thread safe, I am not quite sure if enterprise SDK is thread safe too. My assumption is that one SDK will be instantiated per JVM (like JRC?). It will issue a new thread to each report request (from EJB). Please correct me if I am completely wrong. 
3. This is about licensing. Our scenario is there will be multiple (and concurrent) end users use our J2EE system, and may request report from CR server. Our J2EE system, however, will use one user account to login to CR server through enterprise SDK. In the other word, CR server will treat our J2EE system as one user (even if there are multiple or concurrent request). My question is that does it violate legal agreement with Business Object if I configure the user account our J2EE system uses as Named user?! If it is, we will get concurrent user licenses instead. Please advice. Thank you =) 
Kind Regards,

Hello Adam, 
Thanks for your reply. It is very helpful. 
As for point 1, what exact SDKException will SDK throw (e.g. SDKException.Unexpected)? 
In point 2, "There have been issues reported previously that only occur when using EJB's.". Is it possible to let me know what kind of issues they are? 
In point 3, as CMS supports Window AD authentication, and our system uses same mechanism to perform authentication, I guess the best strategy is to implement single sign on? Please advice. Thank you 
Regards, 
mlie

OWB workflow question

I'm an OWB-newbie (using PARIS) and have a question about OWB workflows.
I want to create several mapping workflows.
All the mapping workflows should send a mail with the outcome of the workflows (success, error, warning) to an administrator.
I don't want to always code the same mail activity with the same parameter values.
So my idea is to write one subprocess which handles the mail-routine with some input parameters (calling workflow-name, process state (success, warning, error)).
In the subprocess I want to test the input parameter "process-state". If the value is 0 (success) then a mail with the workflow name as subject should be generated incuding an static text e.g. "mapping successful". If the value is 1 then "mapping warning" and so on.
What OWB activity has to be choosen for testing the input parameter "process-state" like an if-then-else construct or a case-construct?
How can the value of the input parameter "workflow-name" be included in the mail-body?
Regards
Martin

To my experience, using the OWF for these things is not very practical. I would suggest that you would make your own PL/SQL procedude that does this, and then call that procedure from within the actual mapping (post-mapping), using the values you have there.

Migrate from Crystal Report Server XI R2 to new Eclipse RAS SDK Question

Hi,
I am migrating Crystal Report Server XI R2 RAS SDK to Eclipse RAS SDK which seems to be quite easy.
I have the following old code which basicly programmaticly creates a Report from scratch adds a Table and then
populates the Report with a Pojo Collection.
 
Now before I would have : 
 
Table oTable = new Table(); 
oTable.setName("reportTable"); 
pbConnAttributes.putStringValue("QE_DatabaseType", "Java Beans Connectivity"); 
pbConnAttributes.putStringValue(PropertyBagHelper.CONNINFO_DATABASE_DLL, "crdb_javabeans.dll"); 
PropertyBag pbLogonProperties = new PropertyBag(); 
pbLogonProperties.putStringValue("Java Bean Classes", className); 
pbLogonProperties.putStringValue("SSOKEY", ""); 
pbConnAttributes.put("QE_LogonProperties", pbLogonProperties); 
pbConnAttributes.putBooleanValue(PropertyBagHelper.CONNINFO_SSO_ENABLED, false); 
oTable.getConnectionInfo().setKind(ConnectionInfoKind.CRQE); 
oTable.getConnectionInfo().setUserName(""); 
oTable.getConnectionInfo().setPassword(null); 
oTable.getConnectionInfo().setAttributes(pbConnAttributes); 
//following statement throws Exception 
doc.getDatabaseController().addTable(oTable, null); 
 
getDatabaseController().setDataSource(pojoCollection, pojoClass.class,"reportTable", "reportTable");
 
 
Now wenn using the c lient eclipse RAS SDK which pbConnAttributes should I use? 
No matter which ones I choose I get a Bad Driver Exception or Named Exception. 
Can anybody help?

Hi Mikael,
Since you're already on CR Server XI R2, you can use the Upgrade Management Tool to migrate all the content to CR Server 2013.
Anwers to your questions:
1) Yes, the Upgrade Management Tool does support this kind of migration
2) It does seem that the UMT allows you to move all report instances as well as the scheduled jobs over to the new server
3) I've always had issues with Business Views when using Import Wizard however I'm not sure whether they work well with the new UMT. In any case, I always prefer to export the LOVs and BVs from within the Business View Manager to a .xml file and then import them in the higher version of the Server, again, from within the Business View Manager.

OWB general questions for effective use.

Hi all,
I have been using OWB for a while now, and am getting to the point where I want to make sure I am using it effectively.
For example, how does one decide what to include in one project, or to split it up into multiple projects? I am loading a warehouse, and so far I am only loading raw data into tables.
My next step will be to perform ETL on the raw data and start forming more structured warehouse data. Would that step be better contained in a separate project? Would I need to repeat the definitions of the tables in the loading project? Should I just keep the whole thing in one project? The loading project is quite large, as we have raw data from many sources, and it seems to get one file in takes about 5 - 7 OWB objects (flat file, ext table, 2 - 3 mappings, process flow, 1 - 2 tables.)
So I have dozens of mappings, tables, etc.
Even though much of the data comes from different places, it is generally used together by the end users, and the ETL will likely also need to use most of it together.
Is there any "Best Practices" posted anywhere?
Another question that has come up is this: It seems the idea is to create the warehouse structures completely in OWB and deploy to the DB. However OWB doesn't allow for a full table definition, for things like Triggers, or for advanced features due to a later DB version.
So does one just create a "phantom" entry in OWB that is never deployed, and then create the actual table manually, or deploy and then modify manually to add the trigger?
Or are we not supposed to be using DB triggers, and instead control everything through OWB?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
I think the kind of questions you are asking are more aimed at methodology's not so much OWB. There are plenty of sites you can get this kind of info from one but not necessarily the best being <http://www.ittoolbox.com/>
In any case we use three projects and multiple schemas
project & schema 1 is used to collect data quickly from multiple sources
project & schema 2 normalizes the data (acts as the storage repository)
project & schema 3 is where the datamarts exist (de-normalized data)
this approach allows you to isolate your integration layer from your reporting layer. most changes only affect one of the layers, not all.
as far as creating your structures in owb is concerned I seen no problem, provided you are using a good ER tool and have ironed out any potential problems.
I have certainly created triggers manually and added them after deployment, but in most cases you can use Transformations, post-mapping, and pre-mapping processes to do the same thing, after all the data should only get into the target through a mapping. If it gets in any other way, you have a hole in you bucket.

2 SDK questions

I have downloaded the COM interface. The documentation is from version 5.0.0.35 but I have found that newer functionality also is accessable but not documented. So I suspect that at least the first of my questions are supported but undocumented.
1. Is there 1 (or two sequential) function(s) for going to cover flow view and the to Full Screen? If so which object has the method? The FullScreenVisuals function which is kind of similiar is held by the iTunes object...
2. Is there some way to change the party shuffle source via SDK?
Thanks for you time

There is not really any need of using the RPM's supplied by SuSE since there
are no dependencies and SuSE are quite slow in updating this product. You
might as well just download the compressed file from eclipse.org and expand
it into a suitable location. If you make sure your user have full access
you can also use the update manager without logging in as root.

Simple Java SDK question for server group assignment

I have a snippet of code below in which I am trying to apply the setProcessingServerGroup() and setProcessingServerGroupChoice() methods to my report object. My question should be relatively simple: I believe I need to cast(?) my iObject report object to iProcessingServerGroupInfo per the API in order to use the setProcessingServerGroup() and setProcessingServerGroupChoice() methods, but I'm not sure how to do so.
Can someone please advise how to cast my iObject to iProcessingServerGroupInfo?
Thanks in advance...
Code:
IInfoObject iObject = (IInfoObject) childReports.get(i);
int sgID_view = Integer.parseInt(serverGroupID_view);
int sgPref_view = Integer.parseInt(serverGroupPref_view);
!!!!! CONVERSION / CAST NEEDED HERE !!!!!
iProcessingServerGroupInfo.setProcessingServerGroup(sgID_view);
iProcessingServerGroupInfo.setProcessingServerGroupChoice(sgPref_view);

To followup, I've been able to cast to IShedulingInfo in order to use the setServerGroup() and setServerGroupChoice() methods successfully:
IInfoObject iObject = (IInfoObject) iObjects.get(i);
ISchedulingInfo iSchedulingInfo = iObject.getSchedulingInfo();
iSchedulingInfo.setServerGroup(427);
iSchedulingInfo.setServerGroupChoice(2);
But I don't know how to perform the cast to be able to access the setProcessingServerGroup(), sterProcessingServerGroupChoice() methods.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!

AIR 3.4 SDK question

Hi
I'm using Flash CS5 to build an AIR app. Do I need to install the SDK, or is that only when you have Flex?
And if so, where do I install it? I downloaded it, unzipped it, but am unsure what to do next, and there are no installation instructions with it.
Cheers

Hi,
You have to overlay AIR SDK for which you have to follow the steps mentioned at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/overlay-air-sdk-flash-professional.html

OWB RAC question

Our source and target databases are RAC servers. Is it possible to have OWB installed as single node and still use RAC capabilities of source and target database ?
Basically we are hoping to install OWB as single node and define source/target locations using sql*net. Has anyone tried this ? Does it work ?
Let me know.
Thanks
Madhavi

Hi,
We also have a 6 node rac where we settes up owb.
We went through a whole lot of problems but got it running finally(with service failover).
Basically you will need the binaries on all 4 of your physical nodes.
For the first node you can run through the normal installation (repository setu).
Thab you need to start the repository assistant on all other nodes in ordr to register them.
There are a lot of pitfalls with that installation and a lack od docunentation.
We've written an onstallation guide for an OWB rac setup where with we have now setted up 9 OWB repositories spreaded over 2 racs.
Just let me know if you require detailed information - maybe we can share our guide.

ODI/OWB scripting question

Hi all,
I new to ODI and would appreciate some guidance. I have developing a substantial ETL environment using OWB(10g) and have now been directed to change it over to ODI(11g).
In OWB we had the OMB+ and TCL scripting capability to create and modify repository objects. Anything that could be created or modified in the GUI (such as OWB Mappings or Process Flows) could be done with OMB+ scripting. With this, I could perform mass changes to the mappings.
Does ODI support the same sort of design-time scripting capability? I understand that ODI uses Jython and Java, but so far, everything I have seen on these refers to run-time scripting. I would like to be able to create or modify Interfaces and Packages using the scripting API.
Can someone point me in this direction?
Thanks in advance,
Philip

Have a look at the groovy console in 11.1.1.6 there are some improvements that make scripting easier....

VST Audio for CS5 SDK question

I have a couple of old audio plug-ins that ran on CS4. I just recompiled my old VST library for 64 bit and built my plug-ins. Everything went okay, but CS5 does not see them. Is there a new VST library for CS5 or should I be doing something else?
Thanks,

Hi,
Can you post the .cpp file that Zac made for you?
It’s kinda hard to help you if I can’t work out what sort of callback you were trying to make.
Btw,
Based on your original post...
>In the examples you gave me years ago, I made following declaration:
>AEffect *main (audioMasterCallback audioMaster) { ...
>}
>In CS4 it complained so I made the following change:
>int *main (audioMasterCallback audioMaster) { ...
>}
>
...I just grep'ed for the "audioMasterCallback" in all CS3|4|5 SDKs for AE and Premiere and it's not there.
I'm wondering how you compiled at all when there is no definition for it in the headers?

Please help sdk question

When the big 2.0 update comes out in june do we need mac computers to have the sdk and enterprise thing or is that just to develop apps you need a mac, or neither

the SDK requires a mac. SDK stands for software development kit, so unless you are developing applications for the iphone then you will never need it.
the only thing you need to do is to download the firmware update 2.0 when it comes out in june, all application installations will take place directly from the phone itself. there is nothing extra you will need to download to your computer (with the exception of an itunes update if there is one)

IPhone SDK question. Problems with Addressbook and Addresses.

I know the api is closed as of beta but I have serious problems adding street, zip and city terms to the multivalue address property. I am doing an application for release around the new model of iphone and any information about how to use the address property would be great. I can say, phone numbers I can add as many as I like as of now its only addresses I have problems with, and sadly I can't find information anywhere, including the SDK documentation how to write these properties to a record.
I hope any of you can help me or give me a number I can call for help directly from apple.
Thank you in advance.
/Klaus

I still wonder about this, but I got a new issue and that is adding a "default" photo to the address record I am creating.
I try load my application icon from the application resources to add it to the addressbook record.
NSString* imageName = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Icon.png" ofType:nil]];
NSData *iconData = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:imageName];
ABPersonSetImageData(person, [[iconData bytes]], nil);
Ugh the iconData gets allocated and initedWithContentsOfFile imageName. And yes it loads. Offtopic, how to mark segments as code so no fancy functions strip text and whitespace from my code exampes on the forum?
But get bad access when I try add the image to the record. I know there was some articles on blogs about this last week, but seems like they been pulled off now.
