Report using two different data sources won't work.

I'm trying to build a report that shows information from a production table and an archive table.
Tables are in different databases, which are defined as their own Data Sources in Publisher.
Two data sets containing the same query but using different Data Sources are defined in the Data Model.
When selecting option 'Concatenated SQL Data Source' the report never completes.
If any of the two Data Sets is selected as the Main Data Set, the report shows information related to that source only.
Any hints on how to make this work would be appreciated.
Thanks.

More details on this issue:
The production database has a synonym pointing to the archive database. I build a query using a UNION ALL statement linking both tables.
For the same set of parameters, this query completes in a couple of minutes outside BI Publisher, but never ends (I cancel after an hour) inside Publisher.
Is there any special considerations for the use of synonyms inside Publisher?

How to process reports with two different date fields

Morning all,
This question is somewhat similar to what I asked few days back. I created two different reports for two different departments (Credit Control and Free of Charge Control).
These two reports pull data from two different date fields and has different status check ups.
Few days back my director requested me if he can have both reports in one report. That is when I asked question from all of you regarding two reports.
Anyhow, that was created by implementing two sub reports however, the director asked me to combine the two different reports into one in such a way that the output records should be added up with each other hence one single report with all combined data of Credit Control and Free of Charges (not two sub reports in one report).
The problem here which I am getting is that, both reports uses two different date fields. I can live with two different statuses as that can be easily done within formula/RT however how to create a report with Report Selection Formula condition which looks in both date fields and produces results accordingly?
I have tried this by not putting any condition in report selection formula and ran the report, it produced total results from past 6 years.
Any ideas how to produce combined report which has two different date fields?
Many thanks in advance
Regards
Jehanzeb
What I

Charliy,
No the both dates are from two different databases, tables and fields. The Credit date field is from KLAB database under max table where as the FOC date field is from SAE database under maxmast table. Klab date is under credit2 table where as foc date is under order header table.
So its more like this:
Klab->Max-Credit2--->Credit_date
Sae->Maxmast->Order_header---Date entered.
two dates totally different tables, dbs
however, I will try your idea too and see if that works.

Will OBIEE Support creating reports from 2 different data sources

Hello Guys
I am new to BI . Can anybody let me know how to create a report using 2 different data sources .
Ex: Suppose we have 10G and SQL server , can we import tables to rpd and join 1 fact & dimension from 10G and 1 Fact from SQL server to the 10G tables . If so ,
1) Will the repository be consistent ?
2) Is it a best practice to do this kind of modeling ?
3) Will it affect the performance of the reports ?
Your advice is highly appreciated .

Hi,
Dont try to do this at the BI server layer. Oracle has special abilities to do this thing. So use the power of oracle to import the tables from the sql server to oracle and in the bi server just create one data source.
you can browse for *'DBLINK'* in oracle.

Login Module validation against two different data sources

Hi All,
We have the following setup
NW Portal 7.31
Single stack
We are in the process of implementing Employee Self Service 1.50 WDA.
And as part of the requirement , we have implemented LDAP as the UME DataSource.
So, employees log into the portal using the LAN ID and Windows password and are authenticated using the Logon ticket.
Now the client has come up with a requirement to have all German employees login with their ECC user id and password.
NOTE: ECC User ID and LAN IDs are the same, but the passwords are different.
a) Is it possible to use two UME data sources for logon validation.
b) Is customization of the Login module needed for this scenario?? If Yes, what components need to customized?
c) What is the best approach to handle this requirement?
Thanks.
Regards,
Raj

check this link if it provide any helpful info:
User Mappings in the Authentication Framework of SAP NetWeaver Application Server (AS) Java - Security and Identity Mana…
Also you can search around creating a custom login module for authenticating useres against ECC ,if its possible you need to plugin the custom login module in your authentication stack along with the applicable flag and order so that if user authentication failed at ldap level then the control should go to authenticate it against the ECCcustom login module and logon ticket should be generated in both the cases.

Not able to edit the report created on different data source.....

I have a query regarding Report in OBIEE - reports developed from BI Publisher are specific to data source on which they have been created ??
i have a sample report that was created on different data source, i have the corresponding RPD also. I changed the data source according to my DB and when i try to update/edit the report,
on Analytics for adding a new column, it is generating a seperate new Query from QueryBuilder for that additional cloumn rather than adding up the new query with the previous one(existing report query). Is it because of mismatch of data source on which report had been created and on which it is being update ?? if it is the case, where do i need to make changes related to JDBC connection or others ??
when i try to create a new sample data set and try to update it, it adds up the extra edited things to original query and works perfectly fine. can ny 1 help me for the same ??

Hi Denis,
Normally,what we do is once we provide access to webi users group for each user from BO supervisor module, user(s) will able to refresh/edit the existing report from Full client BO.His colleagues have had no problem editing all his reports from their machines but he is not able to edit any report from his machine and BO is getting freeze.
He also reinstalled BO and cleaned out everything on his Computer and re-built it but the issue is not yet resolved
Can you please tell me how to resolve this issue

Two Different Data Sources in EIS

Hi - Can we have 2 different Data Sources in the OLAP model.Example:We have our Fact table in Teradata and Dimension table inOracle.Can we create a model with this kind of scenario?WIll it be a maintenance nightmare if we do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Jeeva

Hi Jeeva, Yes you can do this. I have models which use data from Oracle, SQL Server and also Text files! All you need is to setup the appropriate ODBC connections on the box that contains EIS then when you create your OLAP model, you add new data sources by clicking "Connections" then "Add Data Source" Hope this helps.

Calling two different data sources within same transaction

Hi,
I have a method (in an Entity Bean), which I need to use two data sources.
But the system give this error when I try to do it.
An illegal attempt to use multiple resources that have only one-phase capability has occurred within a global transaction.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Best Regards,
Chamal.

I hope you need to use XA Drivers (while create the connection pool it self you need to choose the XA Drivers) for this. else you need to use the userTranscations instead of containers.
Because other database drivers won't support this feature.
Please try any of this. Using XA drivers is costly interms of performace.

Pointing a report to a different data source

Post Author: RPatel11
CA Forum: Administration
We have to .xls files that are exactly the same. The layout, content, and data are the same items.
We initially built a bunch of reports around one data provider, however we needed to create that data provider on a different drive due to some restrictions that came up. Instead of recreating the reports how can we get those reports to point to the other data provider that is the exact same file but now housed at a different location?
Used data provider 1(a) to make BO Reports
Copied data provider 1(b) to another location
BO report still pulls from 1(a) till it gets deleted
We need BO report to pull from 1(b)
Thanks,

hi,
you said u have one set of reports and u would like use the same reports
to different locations and it should pick data based on the location is it right?
i would like to know one thing are you using same database for different locations?
If you are using different data bases, then u have to change the data base connection
in the Universes>Parameters>connection and then refresh the reports.
In case it the reports are free hand sql reports u have to change the data base connection
and then refresh the repots.
I think this will help you....
Thanks for your patience.

Assigning two different data sources to infosource

hi
i have a small problem. Actually we have a development bw server which is having client no.500.
we have a development r/3 server which is of client 330. and we have defined a rfc connection for client 330 in bw client 500. and all the infosources are assigned to that rfc connection which is configured for 330.
In 330, we have very less data. We have one more client 700 which is having data. Now i have created a rfc connection for this client 700. and i want to use this connection as a source for client 500 in bw.
can i disable the existing rfc connection of 330 and use rfc connection of 700 for the same infosource.
Please reply.
regards
padma

You can assign from different clients of your source system datasources to your infosource. I've already linked 30 datasources out of 30 clients to one infosource. No problem.
So you can link both of your clients to your infosource. I think it is important not to delete the connection to client 330 because this - I think - is the client where you do all the "customizing" setting for your datasource. Then this datasource-infosource connection is the basic for the transports to the production system.

Bursting using a Concatenated Data Source

Greetings,
I am trying to burst a report using a concatenated data source. I have a bursting SQL query set up that works fine, but I am unsure how to handle the "Split By" option. I have a data model that pulls data from multiple queries, like this:
DETAILS_A
select * from table_a
where payee_id in (:p_payee_id)
DETAILS_B
select * from table_b
where payee_id in (:p_payee_id)
So, if I choose to "Split By" Details_A_Row/Payee_ID, then the data from Details_A is split appropriately, but the reports I generate don't split the information from Details_B properly. I end up with reports where one payee has information for another payee from the Details_B data source. How can I specify that the report should also split/filter the info from Details_B?
To put it another way, what I'd really like to do is go through a list of parameters (payee IDs in this example) and generate a report for each parameter. Is Bursting the most effective way to do this?
From searching the forums, it seems like I might be able to accomplish this using Data Templates as my Data Model instead of SQL Queries. Am I on the right track with that? If so, you guys have any helpful links on how to create Data Templates?
I am using BI Publisher version 10.1.3.4
Any help is appreciated!
Martin

Reports fail when run against a different data source

Hello,
We have a VB.NET 2008 WinForms application running on Microsoft .NET 3.5. We are using Crystal Reports 2008 runtime, service pack 3 -- using the CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer in the app to view reports. In the GAC on all our client computers, we have versions 12.0.1100.0 and 12.0.2000.0 of CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, CrystalDecisions.Shared, and CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.
Please refer to another one of our posted forum issues, u201CCritical issue since upgrading from CR9 to CR2008u201D, as these issues seem to be related:
Critical issue since upgrading from CR9 to CR2008
We were concerned with report display slow down, and we seemed to have solved this by using the Oracle Server driver (instead of either Microsoft's or Oracle's OLEDB driver). But now we must find a resolution to another piece of the puzzle, which is: why does a report break if one data source is embedded in the .rpt file is different than the one you are trying to run the report against, in the .NET Viewer?
Problem:
If you have a production database name (e.g. "ProdDB") embedded in your .rpt file that you built your report from and try to run that report against a development database (e.g. "DevDB") (OR VICE VERSA -- it is the switch that is the important concept here), the report fails with a list of messages such as this:
    Failed to retrieve data from the database
    Details: [Database vendor code: 6550 ]
This only seems to happen if the source of the report data (i.e. the underlying query) is an Oracle stored procedure or a Crystal Reports SQL Command -- the reports run fine against all data sources if the source is a table or a view). In trying different things to troubleshoot this, including adding a ReportDocument.VerifyDatabase() call after setting the connection information, the Crystal Reports viewer will spit out other nonsensical errers regarding being unable to find certain fields (e.g. "The field name is not known), or not able to find the table (even though the source data should be coming from an Oracle stored procedure, not a table).
When the reports are run in the Crystal Reports Designer, they run fine no matter what database is being used; but the problem only happens while being run in the .NET viewer. It's almost as if something internally isn't getting fully "set" to the new data source, or something -- we're really grasping at straws here.
For the sake of completeness of information, here is how we're setting the connection information
        '-- Set database connection info for the main report
        For Each oConnectionInfo In oCrystalReport.DataSourceConnections
            oConnectionInfo.SetConnection(gsDBDataSource, "", gsDBUserID, gsDBPassword)
        Next oConnectionInfo
        '-- Set database connection info for each subreport
        For Each oSubreport In oCrystalReport.Subreports
            For Each oConnectionInfo In oSubreport.DataSourceConnections
                oConnectionInfo.SetConnection(gsDBDataSource, "", gsDBUserID, gsDBPassword)
            Next oConnectionInfo
        Next oSubreport
... but in troubleshooting, we've even tried an "overkill" approach and added this code as well:
        '-- Set database connection info for each table in the main report
        For Each oTable In oCrystalReport.Database.Tables
            With oTable.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo
                .ServerName = gsDBDataSource
                .UserID = gsDBUserID
                .Password = gsDBPassword
                For Each oPair In .LogonProperties
                    If UCase(CStr(oPair.Name)) = "DATA SOURCE" Then
                        oPair.Value = gsDBDataSource
                        Exit For
                    End If
                Next oPair
            End With
            oTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(oTable.LogOnInfo)
        Next oTable
        '-- Set database connection info for each table in each subreport
        For Each oSubreport In oCrystalReport.Subreports
            For Each oTable In oSubreport.Database.Tables
                With oTable.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo
                    .ServerName = gsDBDataSource
                    .UserID = gsDBUserID
                    .Password = gsDBPassword
                    For Each oPair In .LogonProperties
                        If UCase(CStr(oPair.Name)) = "DATA SOURCE" Then
                            oPair.Value = gsDBDataSource
                            Exit For
                        End If
                    Next oPair
                End With
                oTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(oTable.LogOnInfo)
            Next oTable
        Next oSubreport
... alas, it makes no difference. If we run the report against a database that is different than the one specified with "Set Datasource Location" in Crystal, it fails with nonsense errors

Thanks for the reply, Ludek. We have made some breakthroughs, uncovered some Crystal bugs and workarounds, and we're probably 90% there I hope.
For your first point, unfortunately the information on the Oracle 6550 error was generic, and not much help in our case. And for your second point, the errors didn't have anything to do with subreports at that time -- the error would manifest itself even in a simple, one-level report.
However, your third point (pointing us to KB 1553921) helped move us forward quite a bit more. For the benefit of all, here is a link to that KB article:
Link: [KB 1553921|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333533353333333933323331%7D.do]
We downloaded the tool referenced there, and pointed it at a couple of our reports. The bottom line is that the code it generated uses a completely new area of the Crystal Reports .NET API which we had not used before -- in the CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer namespace. Using code based on what that RasConnectionInfo tool generated, we were able gain greater visibility into some of the objects in the API and to uncover what I think qualifies as a genuine bug in Crystal Reports.
The CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ISCRTable class exposes a property called QualifiedName, something that isn't exposed by the more commonly-used CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table class. When changing the data source with our old code referenced above (CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo.SetConnection), I saw that Crystal would actually change the Table.QualifiedName from something like "SCHEMAOWNER.PACKAGENAME.PROCNAME" to just "PROCNAME" (essentially stripping off the schema and package name). Bad, Crystal... VERY BAD! IMHO, Crystal potentially deserves to be swatted on the a** with the proverbial rolled-up newspaper.
I believe this explains why we were also able to generate errors indicating that field names or tables were not found -- because Crystal had gone and changed the QualifiedName to remove some key info identifying the database object! So, knowing this and using the code generated by the RasConnectionInfo tool, we were able to work around this bug with code that worked for most of our reports ("most" is the key word here -- more on that in a bit).
So, first of all, I'll post our new code. Here is the main area where we loop through all of the tables in the report and subreports:
'-- Replace each table in the main report with new connection info
For Each oTable In oCrystalReport.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables
    oNewTable = oTable.Clone()
    oNewTable.ConnectionInfo = GetNewConnectionInfo(oTable)
    oCrystalReport.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.SetTableLocation(oTable, oNewTable)
Next oTable
'-- Replace each table in any subreports with new connection info
For iLoop = 0 To oCrystalReport.Subreports.Count - 1
    sSubreportName = oCrystalReport.Subreports(iLoop).Name
    For Each oTable In oCrystalReport.ReportClientDocument.SubreportController.GetSubreportDatabase(sSubreportName).Tables
        oNewTable = oTable.Clone()
        oNewTable.ConnectionInfo = GetNewConnectionInfo(oTable)
        oCrystalReport.ReportClientDocument.SubreportController.SetTableLocation(sSubreportName, oTable, oNewTable)
    Next oTable
Next iLoop
'-- Call VerifyDatabase() to ensure that the tables update properly
oCrystalReport.VerifyDatabase()
(Thanks to Colin Stynes for his post in the following thread, which describes how to handle the subreports):

Report that uses two different queries

I need to make a Report that uses two different queries. It would do one query, then the second, putting the results one after the other on the page.
Using the wizard, I put in the first query, and it will generate output from this first query.
I am able to put the second query in the Report, but when I try to use something from the second query, it gives a message about accessing a field below its frequency.
In the Reports forum, there is a reference to
tons of samples available in
builing reports doc 1. http://download.oracle.com/otn/other/general/B10310_01.pdf
But the link is broken.
What can you tell me?
Thanks, Wayne

What you're trying to accomplish is possible. Now that you've got the second query, add a new repeating frame in the layout editor below the first area. Open the property palette for the new repeating frame and set the source to the second query. Then add fields from the second query.
Also, remove the fields you have for the second query from the first frame that was created by the wizard; that's what's causing the error about accessing a field below its frequency.
