Passing Job ID, Job instance from Agent to EJB-based action in OBIEE 11g?

We would like to ZIP compress Agent-scheduled report output, according to documentation using "Java Jobs" is an option but not recommended in 11g (only upgraded from 10g). Instead EJB-based java actions should be used.
Documentation has explanation of EJB-based Java action, however there's a problem when an Agent invokes the EJB-based action how can it pass out Job ID and Instance ID, etc so the custom action can refer to the related job information? When using "Java job" approach it offers public interfaces to do so. In EJB-based action there seems no information provided, the example in the documentation only demonstrates user to enter parameter values manually without any way to pass out parameter from the invoker (e.g. an Agent).
In this case, is there any public interface or any other way that an Agent can pass out Job ID related values when invoking an Java method? This seems also true for other actions like invoking web services, HTTP service, etc that no Job parameter can be passed out.
Thanks.

Agents not working in the upgraded OBIEE 11G

Hi All,
Recently we hae upgraded our BI Suite(10.1.3.4.1) to 11G(11.1.1.5.0)
We are able to see all of our ibots(Agents) in the new 11G instance and I have added new recipients, set the schedule for the seedding cache.
But when I try to run the Agent (Start Immediately), Agent ending up with a warning Invalid subscribers skipped
Even we have configured the email setup(SMTP) in the enterprise manager and we are able to receive the mail attachments.
But our goal is to add the usernames in the recipients tab and set the seeding cache option for the specified users.
How can we achieve this in OBIEE 11G
Any help would be much apprecialted....
Thanks

I want to schedule some reports which will run everyday night and the Output to be saved in my local disk
I read this article http://obiee1000.blogspot.in/2012/01/actions-in-agents-part-1.html ...but this solution is only for windows platform.
i need to implement this on Linux.
Please help me .
Thanks.

Resetting Selection from a Multi-Select Dashboard Prompt in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I have a dashboard prompt, containing 3 columns which all are set to allow multi selection and default value is all values.
In 10g, after choosing some values in one of the prompt and clicking Go button, I can manually remove all my selection to reset it back to the default value (which is all values).
In 11g, however, I am not able to find how to do it. The reset button doesn't reset back to the default value (which is all values). So what I have to do is to use the "Clear All Customization", which will clear all my selection for all the prompts.
Any suggestion on how to do this? Thanks in advance!

Hi Deepak, actually I don't need any script to do that in 10g.
It's a built in feature in 10g. If you remember, for multiselect prompt in 10, we will click the "..." button to show the box for value selection. Then we can move values from left box to the right to include them, or vice versa to not include them. So by moving the values from right box to the left, I essentially revert to default value which mean all values will be shown.
In 11g, this box is not shown anymore, instead we are checking the values one by one from a drop down list.
Any suggestion? Thanks.

Navigating from Summary Report to Detail Report in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have creted two reports.One corresponds to Summary and the other Detail.By clicking on one of the fields in
the Summary report the values are captured and then the detail report is displayed based on the values selected.
Now,What I need to know is whether I can populate the values I have selected in Summary Report(values correspond to only a single field) as some text in the Detail report.
I am using 11.1.5 just in case you need to know,but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Navin.G

another way if you want to stay in one document and continue to use drilling is to build 2 blocks and hide/unhide as you drill
block1 - shows your totals
block2 - shows the details
then use block hiding (see below) to cause block1 to disappear when you drill past a certain level. using the same (but opposite logic) you would have block2 appear
block hiding in webi - how to:
sadly webi doesnt have this feature directly the way that Crystal does but you can emulate it using SHOW WHEN EMPTY,block filtering and DrilFilters. The latter detects your level of drill.
block1 filter formula - return a TRUE result when DrillFilters tell you that you havent drilled into detail yet. Set SHOW WHEN EMPTY=No
when you do drill Block1's formula will be FALSE, the block will then technically be EMPTY and therefor wont show
Block2's filter logic will return FALSE when DrillFilters tells you that you are still on Block1's level of drilling. But when you drill Block2's level of drill, DrillFilters in Block2's filter formula will return TRUE and its rows will be returned. It wont be empty so it will show.

From Database pass in Provisioning job

Hello SDN,
I'm trying in a provisioning job to get some data from the database and then sending it back onto the database, here i found the 'from database' pass satisfying.
The problem is i'm getting this wired error: "Fromsource ODBC is a illegal type for provisioning!" when i have set it all up and trys to run it.
I have been reading in the help files and found that ODBC only is used when the runtime engine is Windows but mine is running on a Java runtime engine. the link i uses for the connection is the global constant %$ddm.identitycenter% and i uses it several places outside the provisioning jobs in 'from database' pass.
I have then been reading further in the help files and found this quote: 'A task always operates on one given entry in the identity store. This is why there is no source defined in the pass of the job in an action task.' is this why i can't connect up to the database?
Some one having any idea?
Best Regards
Jesper Lindstrøm Nielsen

Jesper,
You can not use FromPass into Provisioning Job.
To do so, Create an Administration Job with to pass :
1- FromDatabase (....) to read date from your source
2- ToDatabase (....) to send it back with needed transformation
This job can be run manualy (using runnow) or scheduled, but can as well be call from a provisioning job. To do so;
Create a Provision Job with ToGeneric pass,
Into the ToGeneric pass, write a javascript function with :
OutString = uRunJobNow(<Job ID of the administration job previously defined>)

Is there a way to access ABAP OO instances from a batch job report

Hello,
I am looking for a way to access ABAP OO instances from a batch job report. My circumstances are the following:
I have got some ABAP OO coding that identifies other objects (class instances) that have to be processed (they have a DoIt method that does some calculation). As this processing is time consuming and performace relevant I have to parallelize this in batch jobs. This batch jobs however can only be "simple" ABAP reports according to SM36. The problem is now that I dont really know how to tell the batch job report what objects to process. Somehow I have to access theses instances from that batch job report.
Does anybody have an idea?
Greetings
Matthias

Hi David,
thanks a lot for your help. After a lot of searching on the net this seems to be the only way to cope with it. However I am not sure about the locking mechanisms and if its suitable for mass data processing. In the help page you suggested the following is stated which I do not fully understand::
"The current lock logic does not enable you to set specific locks for the following requirements:
·        Many parallel read and write accesses
·        Frequent write accesses
·        Division into changeable and non-changeable areas
Although the lock logic makes the first two points technically possible, they are not practical because most accesses would be rejected."
Does this mean
a) if I dont want to set "specific locks" for frequent write accessess I am fine
or
b) I am discouraged from use shared memory technics for frequent write accessess?
In the latter case I will have a problem...
What do you think?

How to find the job and job status from RSPCM

hi all,
suppose we got an error and in rspcm the process was failed.i want to know the status of that particular job.and if any i want to stop that job in SM37.
plz tell me how to find the job and job ststus from RSPCM...and how to stop that job in SM37
thanks,
jack

Hi Jack,
RSPCM: T.Code
This transaction is used to monitor the process chains
First:
here you need to add the process chains into the sheet
Second:
Then you can monitor the process chains in this transaction code
Like you can see the : status ,proces chain ,Last run date ,Last run time ,Log ID
Status : Green when sucessful,Yellow when running & Red when you get errors
Now when yoy click on any of the process chain in RSPCM you will go to the LOG VIEW as you see in RSPC transaction
SM37:T.code
This transaction is used for Job Overview
you can see many options in SM37
like Released,active,cancelled,finished,etc
Just select the ACTIVE jobs and also pass STAR in JOB ID & USER ID
here you can only see the active jobs
Goto Step in toolbar
select the program displayed
then chose option GOTO - Variant in main menu bar
in the variant you can see the job belong to which Process chain
if you want to cancel this job come back to SM37 Display screen
Select the Job and select the JOB DETAILS tab in Tool Bar
Collect the WIP ( Work Permit ID)
Go to SM50 T.code and find the WIP
in Main Menu Bar you find the option Cancel with Core choose this it will cancel the Job

Pass Parameter to Job which calls a SP with the Parameter provided?

ok, I have a problem that is getting the better of me.
I have an SP called sp_Rep_QTR which expects the following parameters @stardate,@Endate.
Now what I want to do is the following,
Create a Job which will EXEC the sp_Rep_QTR at a time(@active_start_time ) provided and pass the @stardate,@Endate parameters to the SP .
The @stardate,@Endate parameters will be passed to a SP which will create the Job - These are passed from a web page.
I'm completely in over my head on this one so any help would be great.
Thanks..

One way of hacking this problem is by dynamically updating the job step which executes the stored procedure to include the parameters the user provided. You can do so by using
msdb.dbo.sp_update_jobstep.
So for example, you could create a job named "Test job" and in that job the first step would be to execute your stored procedure. You would then use the following code to update that step at run time:
execute msdb.dbo.sp_update_jobstep
@job_name = N'Test job',
@step_id = 1,
@command = 'execute my_proc @my_variable = ''my_value'''
You'd then use sp_start_job like so:
execute msdb.dbo.sp_start_job @job_name = 'Test job'
Your job would then execute using the value provided at run time for the @my_variable parameter.

Obtain Job invoker for a SSIS job scheduled in SQL Server Agent

Hello,
I was required to tell the job runner of a particular SSIS job scheduled in SQL Server Agent (in SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2). I noticed that after running the job, a record can be found in msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory in the [message] columm saying that
the job is invoked by 'Domain\User'. Is there anyway I can acquire and upload that information into an audit table by adding some additional script into the job? I heard about using token to get job_ID, but what about the actual user name who runs
the job?
Thanks

Just add retry attempts to whatever number you want (2 as per your original explanation) in Job step properties as below
Have a logic to include a delay of 10 mins . You can make use of WAITFOR function for that

Triggering a background job of class 'A' from within the ABAP program

Dear All,
We are implementing SAP ECC 6.0 on IBM System i, i5/OS V5R4, SAP kernel 7.00, kernel patch level 173.
Is there a way to control that when a background job is triggered from within an ABAP program using the : CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN' statement, the background job is of class A ?
I know that through transaction SM37, the job class for a background job can be changed manually, but the situation is an outsource company did for us some changes in the native SAP ABAP programs related to some SAP native transactions, and those programs trigger at their end some background jobs, each job running with the name of user running the transaction.
Through SM37, I can't find a template background job, to be changed to have class 'A'
The following is an excerpt from the ABAP code, bearing the CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN' statement :
FUNCTION z_cs_technical_completion.
""Local Interface:

Dear Darren,
Thank you very much for your cooperation and for your prompt reply.
Could you please explain to me how to find out the template background job that was first used, or in other words, how things were set up in the first place, i.e. when first the ABAP program was written and executed, there had to be at least one background job created through transaction SM36 ?
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Best regards.

    In the source code you have the termination point in line 508
    of the (Include) program "LARFCF06".
    The termination is caused because exception "CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB" occurred in

     locally nor declared
    in the RAISING clause of its signature.
    The procedure is in program "SAPLARFC "; its source code begins in line

Now I want to find how this dead lock is created and which two (programs or JOB's) causing this dead lock.
And program "APLARFC" is not a exicutable program and even I try to where used list I am not able to find exicutable program.
now I need to find which are the two programs or jobs causing this loack.
