Read a database Oracle from BW for reports

Hi gurus, i want to know ,if it is possible, to read data that i have in an Oracle database from my BW.
I want to know if it is possible or if i must to load the data into BW.
TY

Hi,
Several alternatives:
- Load the data (not so nice)
- Create your own Data source in BW with extraction function module. In the FM you will SELECT <fields> FROM <yourORASchema>.<table/view>.
Create a flexible InfoSource with your objects.
Create a SAP Virtual cube (Remote) with your ISource.
- Virtual Cube with services but it is quite a hassle...
It denpends on the data (amount of records) and the number of fields.
Keep in mind that the system will fetch your data from Oracle for each navigational step...
good luck!
hope that helps,
Olivier.

I have replaced 9 by blank. and using CONDENSE statement i have avoid the left hand side spaces of 9 in the database table.
Means the data is updated in database table following below using Condense.
Like:     abcde
            hjklmn
            klplmj
            hjsfhh
Now, the problem is that these spaces is showing in the Report. The left hand side spaces is not deleting from the Report. But these spaces is not showing in the databse table.
Plz tell me wat is the reason and wat is the solution to avoid these space from the Report.

Hi Dinesh
I have some bad news for you I'm afraid. Discoverer workbooks are not stored as SQL definitions, they are stored as BLOBs within the database. It is therefore not possibly to write any sort of query to interrogate the inner workings of a workbook. The only way to do this is to open each workbook in turn and analyze it.
Sorry to be the bringer of bad news
Best wishes
Michael

How can I connect to my database ORACLE from JavafX?

Hi! ¿Anybody have a example to learn how could connect my ORACLE database from my javafx application?

Just use JDBC like you do in a regular Java program.
Either you translate the code to JavaFX (creating Java objects, etc.) or you do a Java layer to simplify access.

CMC cannot save database configuration from a crystal report using WS

Hi all
I have a report in Crystal reports which is using a web service as a datasource. All works fine since web services is not using ws-security but when I deploy my report on CMC i can not save database configuracion. This is because i don't want it to prompt me for the logon credentials.
thanks

Hi Manish,
thanks for your answer. Unfortunately I'm still stuck in this matter.
Does this happen with the sample reports too? I think it will be a good approach to try this to see if your system is behaving differently for sample reports and reports published from outside
I did not really try this, but viewing and editing my reports in Crystal Reports 2008 Designer works perfectly fine. As well can the user view my reports in the InfoViewApp.
Also, does it revert to the login screen setting immediately after you click Save or does it show the setting as changed after clicking Save but, does not retain it when you come back and check the report settings again?
The data is reverted immediately after clicking "Save"
Kind reagrds

Using values returned from SQL for Report column names

I am building reports against our TFS development db.
One of the reports tracks days spent (Dwell Time) in various status categories (eg: New, Assigned, In Development, Hold, etc) for a given "ticket".
For a fixed list of values from {Work Item].System_State, I can send the results (days in Assigned) to the column named (Assigned) for each status for each event in the [Work Item History], and then sum them for each ticket as:
Ticket ID      New          Assigned       InDev       etc
1230001        2                  0                 0          ...
1230001        0                  1                 2          ....
SUM            2                    1                2         ....
However, I have many different Projects, each of which use their own Status names.
I don't want to duplicate the same basic report, if I can avoid it.
How can I name and generate this data for the unique Status list for each Project?
Simplest analog is: name = First(Fields!Status.Value, "TFSdb")
and allows value for a column name (category) as: =IIF(Fields!Status.Value = First(Fields!Status.Value, "TFSdb"), Fields!Days.Value, 0)
However this fails beause:
1. It only delivers the FIRST status value, and,
2. I cannot SUM an expression which is itself an aggregate (using First).

RRapport,
Is this still an issue?

Integrating any database (oracle or sql) for user repository of EP6.0

Hi all,
 We have a EP6.0 SP9 installation.
 Has one tried integrating any db like oracle or sql with EP6.0?
 Suppose, I have a user table in some xyz database (like Oracle or SQL) with all user main information as the fields like fname, lname, ***, age etc and then try connecting your SAP EP to this database for user management. Like if any user want to login to SAP EP the user id and password should be matched against this DB .. and if I create a new user it should be created in this DB.
 I think we need to change one xml file called "dataSourceConfiguration_database_only.xml". Is this the right data Source Configuration file? I don't know what/how to change in it to make point to my ORACLE or SQL database.
 What else should i do? Any ideas?
Please help regarding this.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Sai Krishna.

HT5622 my friend believes her phone has been hacked as her ex partner has read all her messages from people for the last week how is this possible?

my friend has an iphone 4 and believes her messages on her phone have been hacked as and ex boyfriend has contacted her telling her who she has spoken to and read the message she has for the past week, is this possible and how can she stop this?
Thanks

You're welcome.
Ask her if they shared an Apple ID to download iTunes Store content such as apps and music?
If not, he knows the password for her Apple ID email address.
She can create a new Apple ID with this link.
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleIdForIK B?localang=en_US&path=
She needs to create a new email address first as well.
Tell her not to use any security questions that her ex knows or may know.
After she has created a new Apple ID, on her iPhone go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID.
Select the Apple ID and at the menu window that appears, select Sign Out.
She signs back in at the same location with her new Apple ID to register her iPhone phone number with her new Apple ID and this will prevent her ex from having access to all iMessages that she sends and receives.

Problem with using database link from oracle 7 to oracle 9i

Hi To Every One
I have two oracle database oracle 7.3.4.0.1 and oracle 9i 9.2.0.1.0.
and the tns alias to connect to oracle 9i database is oracle9i and tns
alias to oracle 7 database is oracle7.I have no problem in connect to
these database using these tns aliases from either database.The tns
alias for oracle 7 is available in tnsnames.ora file of oracle9i and
tns alias for oracle 9i is available in tnsnames.ora file of oracle 7.
So there is no connection problem from each other.Connection is
working fine for each other but the problem with database links is
like this
Problem:
when i create database link from oracle9i user or public database link
from oracle9i for oracle7 user like this
SQL ORACLE9I >CREATE DATABASE LINK ORACLE7 CONNECT TO <ORACLE7USER>
IDENTIFIED BY <PASSWORD> USING 'ORACLE7';
OR
SQL ORACLE9I >CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK ORACLE7 CONNECT TO <ORACLE7USER>
IDENTIFIED BY <PASSWORD> USING 'ORACLE7';
The links get created sucessfully but when i write command like
SQL ORACLE9I> DESC <ORACLE7USER_NAME>.<ORACLE7USER_TABLENAME>@ORACLE7
I RECEIVE A ORACLE ERROR LIKE
ORA-12663 SERVICE REQUIRED BY CLIENT IS NOT AVAILABLE ON THE SERVER.
OR IF MY COMMAND IS LIKE
SQL ORACLE9I> SELECT <FEILD_NAME> FROM
<ORACLE7USER_NAME>.<ORACLE7USER_TABLENAME>@ORACLE7;
I RECEIVE AN ORACLE ERROR LIKE
ORA-01002 FETCH OUT OF SEQUENCE.
ORA-02063: preceding line from ORACLE7
BUT IF I CREATE A LINK FROM ORACLE7 USER FOR ORACLE9I USER
IT WORKS FINE.
PLZ HELP ME WHAT IS THE PROBLEM THAT THE LINK FOR ORACLE 7 IS NOT WORKING WHEN
IT IS BEING CREATED FROM ORACLE9I.
Thank u.

Oracle 9.2.0 does not support connectivity to Oracle 7. The newest version that will support this is 9.0.1.

Best practice for database calls from Java components?

I have a java component that encapsulates some complex database logic. In unit tests, I pass in a jdbc connection.
Is there a way to pass in a database connection from PBL for a database defined as an External Resource in an ALBPM project? That way, I can test it using the "abstract" definition in the project and know that when it is deployed to production it will use the concrete definition. And, I won't have to maintain a separate configuration of the JDBC url.
Is there a better way to do this? Or is it possible?
Thanks,
Todd

Hi Bruno,
The main issue with the combination of stateful session beans and servlets is the servlet threading model.
It is dangerous to store a stateful session bean reference in servlet instance state, since the servlet instance
can be accessed concurrently, yet a stateful session bean reference is intended to be used by only one
client.
As you point out, one alternative is to store the reference in the HttpSession. That associates the reference
with a particular client, which matches the stateful session bean programming model.

Complex query for Reports

Hi !!
I have to create a report,which would be called from a form, and I require your help to code a query for a complex logic involving two tables. My application is on Oracle8i and Developer6. The table structures and their values are as below:
Table1
(Main-Part, Sub-Part is a composite key)
MainPart Sub-part
M0001 S0001
M0001 S0002
M0001 S0003
M0002 S0004
M0002 S0101
M0002 S0909
M0003 S1909
Table2 (Part is a primary key)
Part Qty-in-store qty-in-prodn qty-rejected
M0001 10 10 10
S0001 1 10 1
M0003 1 1 1
M0002 2 1 2
S0004 3 2 5
S0003 1 1 8
S0002 10 11 12
S0101 100 200 100
The requirement is that for every fetch of the Main-Sub part pair from table1, details should be fetched from the table2. Since the Main-Sub part pair is a composite key in table1, details from Table2 should be fetched only once for a repeating Main part but as many times for the number of sub-parts. For example, although M0001 is repeated 3 times in table1, it's details should be fetched only once from table2 whereas for the sub-parts of M0001(S0001, S0002, S0003) details should be fetched from table2 for each sub-part.
I tried a query which first fetches the details for the main-part, and in the repeating frame I put formula columns(with appropriate select stmts) for sub-parts. This approach I feel could affect performance because select statement is fired as many times as the number of formula columns.
My report should look like this
============================================================
Part qty-in-store qty-in-prodn qty-rejected
============================================================
M0001 10 10 10
S0001 1 10 1
S0002 10 11 12
S0003 1 1 8
Total 22 32 31
M0002 2 1 2
S0004 3 2 5
S0101 100 200 100
Total 105 203 107
I would like your help to know if there is another way to code a query(or queries) in report builder which will help me solve this above requirement.
Also, is it possibe to do an Update operation on a Database Table from within a report, bcos the totals as shown above need to be updated to the table?
Thanks in advance for the help?
Regards,
Ajay

John,
I believe this is to create the column types in BIRT. Can you open a
bugzilla entry to look at this?

Is it possible to read a mySQL database from an ABAP report?

We have some information stored in a mySQL database which is now required on ABAP reports.
Is it possible to read the mySQL database from an ABAP report? I'm still a bit confused on that.
So far I have setup DBCO with information about the mySQL server using MMS as the DBS because mySQL was not an option. I have made sure we have the latest dbmssslib.dll installed.
When I try to run the following code
EXEC SQL.
    CONNECT TO :con
ENDEXEC.
I get error: SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Then I have tried to connect using the function CHECK_CONNECTION_SDB.
I get the following messages in the return table:
1     OS-AppServ:Windows NT
2     dbmcli_neg: no_client_software
3     dbmrfc_c_neg: no_client_software
4     dbmrfc_s_neg: no_client_software
5     sql_neg
6     work_proc: 1
Does anyone know what I need to do to connect to the mySQL database.
Thank you
Karen

Thank you for your reply. I've gone through all the documentation you sent and much more and I'm still not sure what the problem is.
One thing that concerns me is that this all relates to MS SQL server and I'm trying to link to a mySQL database. Is this even possible?
Some posts talk about changing Oracle settings and having J2EE installed. Is this necessary to connect to a mySQL database via ABAP?
Which user should I enter into DBCO? Is it the mySQL server user or a SAP user? Does the person in charge of the mySQL database need to add any permissions for SAP to access the database or is that done by the user in DBCO?
Does anyone have any more advice?
Thank you
Karen
Also, does anyone know what the messages from the CHECK_CONNECTION_SDB function mean
1 OS-AppServ:Windows NT
2 dbmcli_neg: no_client_software
3 dbmrfc_c_neg: no_client_software
4 dbmrfc_s_neg: no_client_software
5 sql_neg
6 work_proc: 1
