Reg:web catalog merge

hi,
i have a requirement to merge two different web catalogs each having it's own users,groups,privilleages.so if i use copy and paste all the folders in catalog 1 to catalog 2,does this completes my merge i.e.., copying all folders like groups,privgs,metadata,users,shared.
thanks

Copy and paste is not always a good practice. Use Web catalog Instead.
Please follow the following link to do so.

Multiple web catalog files for same rpd

Is there any way to run multiple web catalog files for same rpd in OBIEE?

Why do you want to do that? Why not merge them into one? You run seperate presentation servers againt the same RPD.

I am trying to get the Description from the properties of a report (using web services + web catalog). I am not able to retrieve the description through the itemProperties[] array, and have not been successful finding it anywhere else. Has anyone been able to get the this Description property? Thanks.

Web Catalog - User Folders

We currently are in the process of including the domain name in the OBIEE account name so jsmith will become Domain/jsmith. This is has been changed in the RPD using the UDML script. My question is with the current users folders in the Web Catalog. My first question would be is there any thing that any of you have used to be able to figure out who has requests or dashboards saved in their personal folders/my dashboards.
In regards to moving the contents, the only thing I could think of doing right now is create the folder in the Web Catalog and move the objects under the users folder (jsmith) into the newly named folder (Corp/jsmith) then apply the applicable permissions and ownership. I was wondering if there is any other way those on the forum have done this?
Thanks to all for any suggestions.

There is no easy way to do what you want I think. By default Administrators don't have access to use folders. You can change this but you will need to do this manually for each user folder because if you do it recursively at the /root/users/ level then all the user's permissions are removed. You could do a script that checks the contents of the user's personal folder looking at the file system Web Catalog [Web Catalog Path]/root/users/[user name]/ to see if they have any requests saved or not. They are a few standard items in the user's folder so if you ignore all those plus all the .atr files (permission to items) then you should be able to get a list of users that have saved reports.

Web Catalog - Item Lock Needs Attention

Hello, I am receiving an error in the web catalog (Item Lock Needs Attention). I tried to migrate about 22 files using the Catalog Manager, but it seems that the application placed a lock on the files.
When I try to delete the file from the front-end, I received this error in EM (Item Lock Needs Attention:) (Context: 0, code: QM3V3HLV), and (access denied for user to path /users/myusername).
I already tried stopping all the BI server components and restarting, but the error still persists.
Any help is appreciated

Login to Catalog Manager >> root >> users >> and assign full control to 'myusername' on 'My Folder' and restart OPMN.

Web Catalog Publishing using MDM RPCM scenario

Hi Experts
Is it possible to do web catalog publishing using MDM Publisher or Publisher APIs? if yes, where can i get the information on how to proceed with it?
I came across this[thread|Re: Web Catalog Publishing]
where Markus has stated that web catalog publishing is possible with java APIs and SAP is having plans to include that functionality in Publisher tool as well, in its future releases.
I couldnu2019t find any straightforward answer for my question either in MDM Java docs or in Publisher guide.
Thanks in advance
SwarnaDeepika

Thank you Markus for the prompt reply.
The link was very helpful. The line
To build dynamic Web sites with complex MDM data layouts
was what i was looking for.
So using the publishing APIs MDM data can be sent through to a web site which acts as a online catalog, can you please confirm?
Can these APIs be used to expose the catalog using enterprise portal as well, instead of a normal website (just like how its done in SRM-MDM catalog)?
P.S: Kindly bear with me, if my questions are silly. An expert's opinion is all i need

Field catalog merge in Classes

Hi,
I need to use field catalog merge without using FM . not manual field catalog.I want to call Class and use in ALV.

Hi Nandha,
why you can't use FM?
it's common to use LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE using ALV GRID CONTROLL (with class).

AlV! Field Catalog Merge!

Hi!
   What is Field catalog merge in ALV

Hi,
YOU HAVE TWO WAYS TO BUILD A FIELD CATALOG
1) FIRST METHOD
data w_fieldcat type slis_fieldcat_alv.
type-pools : slis.
tables : sflight.
data : i_fieldcat type slis_T_fieldcat_alv.
data v_repid like sy-repid.
data : begin of i_sflight occurs 0,
       carrid like sflight-carrid,
       connid like sflight-connid,
       fldate like sflight-fldate,
        end of i_sflight.
w_fieldcat-tabname = 'I_SFLIGHT'.
w_fieldcat-fieldname = 'CARRID'.
w_fieldcat-outputlen = '10'.
w_fieldcat-col_pos = '1'.
w_fieldcat-row_pos = '1'.
w_fieldcat-seltext_l = 'Carrie ID'.
w_fieldcat-seltext_M = 'Carrie ID'.
w_fieldcat-seltext_S = 'Carrie ID'.
w_fieldcat-HOTSPOT = 'X'.
append w_fieldcat to i_fieldcat.
clear w_fieldcat.
w_fieldcat-tabname = 'I_SFLIGHT'.
w_fieldcat-fieldname = 'CONNID'.
w_fieldcat-outputlen = '10'.
w_fieldcat-col_pos = '1'.
w_fieldcat-row_pos = '1'.
w_fieldcat-seltext_l = 'CONNI ID'.
w_fieldcat-seltext_M = 'CONNI ID'.
w_fieldcat-seltext_S = 'CONNIID'.
w_fieldcat-HOTSPOT = 'X'.
append w_fieldcat to i_fieldcat.
clear w_fieldcat.
w_fieldcat-tabname = 'I_SFLIGHT'.
w_fieldcat-fieldname = 'FLDATE'.
w_fieldcat-outputlen = '10'.
w_fieldcat-col_pos = '1'.
w_fieldcat-row_pos = '1'.
w_fieldcat-seltext_l = 'FLDATE.
w_fieldcat-seltext_M = 'FLDATE'.
w_fieldcat-seltext_S = 'FLDATE'.
w_fieldcat-HOTSPOT = 'X'.
append w_fieldcat to i_fieldcat.
clear w_fieldcat.
2) SECOND METHOD
data w_fieldcat type slis_fieldcat_alv.
type-pools : slis.
tables : sflight.
data : i_fieldcat type slis_T_fieldcat_alv.
data v_repid like sy-repid.
data : begin of i_sflight occurs 0,
       carrid like sflight-carrid,
       connid like sflight-connid,
       fldate like sflight-fldate,
        end of i_sflight.
call function 'REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'
       exporting
            i_program_name     = v_repid
            i_internal_tabname = 'I_SFLIGHT'
            i_inclname         = v_repid
       changing
            ct_fieldcat        = I_fieldcatalog_TYPE.

Can anyone explain, crawlersys.lck on Web Catalog?

In OBI 11g, Recently I noticed that a file within the root of my web catalog called crawlersys.lck. It wasn't there prior to start up of presentation services, but afterwards it was there. Has anyone else noticed this or can anyone explain this file and its relation to the web catalog / presentation services?
Thanks in advance,
Christian

Nevermind on this, I found what I needed here, http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e10541/prescatadmin.htm#CACEFJCJ

OBIEE web catalog organization (or lack thereof...)

Hi, I'm trying to come up with a "best practices" scheme to allow organizing our "shared" web catalog folders and directory structure. Our particulars are:
- We need to have one group of dashboards / reports that are "enterprise approved"
- we need to have another set of areas available for various business units to do their own work in, but not be available as "enterprise approved", just for business area use
- need to cover analyses, dashboards, filters, prompts, etc.
- would like to keep dashboard related items organized together if possible
- would like to keep prompted analyses separate from analyses used in dashboards if necessary
- power users will all have their own "personal" folders, I'm not worried about those (but if hints on how to arrange to make migration to either the shared "business unit" or shared "enterprise approved" folders, that would be great)
- I'd like dashboards to show up properly, which seems to imply they need to be just one level under the main "Shared" directory
Does anyone have a best practices way of organizing the web catalog to make the above easy to accomplish?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi
Did anyone help you out? I am also looking for a list of best practices or blogs that contain that type of information.
Thanks
