Setting up a database as a data source. Is it a requirement?

Am I required to set up my MS Access 2000 database (abcxyy.mdb) as a data source under Control Panel \ Administrative Tools \ Data Sources in Windows 2000 before I can connect to it using Java or can I set the path to it in my source code? If I can do it via the source code could someone give me an example of doing it that way? Thank you in advance for your help.

OK, I've given you the dukes. Thanks for the link.
If I'd known I was asking about making a "DSN less connection" I would've done a search for it.:)
Can you tell me what DBQ is in the following?:
String url = "jdbc:odbc:DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=c:\\full\\path\\to\\database.mdb";

Local Cube Filtering / Add SSAS database as a data source for another SSAS project

I need to generate a local cube using a fully processed SSAS database deployed on SSAS server. However, I need to restrict the data downloaded in the local cube while doing this.
I have restricted access to the dimension data by mapping data to UserName/CustomData & using
dynamic role-based security. When I generate a
local cube by executing an AdoMdCommand using xmla structure of this online cube, the .cub file thus created also contains the data that shouldn't be accessible to the user creating the cube.
I am aware of
CREATE GLOBAL CUBE statement, but since it has some limitations such as we cannot have DISTINCT COUNT measures, I cannot use this statement because my online cube contains some important measures that use the DISTINCT COUNT aggregation. Plus, when I include
a dimension with huge amount of data in it, the execution of command times out.
So I am trying out an approach wherein I create a different SSAS project and use the existing SSAS database as a Data Source and then carry out the filtering to output the .cub file using xmla structure of this project database. The problem is, somehow SQL
Server Data Tools 2012 does not recognize another SSAS database as a valid data source.
Could someone please let me know why can't we do this or suggest me any alternative approach to implement this?
Regards, <br/> Akshay

Hi David,
According to your description, you are creating a SQL Server Analysis Services project, now what you want is using SAP HANA as the data source, right?
SSAS support many type of data source. However, as you can see on the link below, SAP HANA data source was not listed on that link. So this type of data source is not supported in current version of SSAS. Microsoft will update that document when it is supported.

Thank you for your understanding.

SQL ENTERPRISE: The edition of Reporting Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database

The error below makes absolutely no sense! I'm using Enterprise Core...yet I'm being told I can't use remote data sources:
w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: i INFO: Catalog SQL Server Edition = EnterpriseCore
w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: The feature: "The edition of Reporting

Really? This totally contradicts the documentation found here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157285(v=sql.110).aspx
That article says remote connections are completely supported.
ARGH! Why does this have to be so difficult to setup?!?

Hi jeffoliver1000,
According to your description, you are using Enterprise Core edition and you are prompted that you can’t use remote data sources.
In your scenario, we neither ignore your point nor be doubt with what you say. But actually we have met the case before that even though the SQL Server engine is Enterprise but the reporting services is still standard. So I would recommend you to find the
actual edition of reporting services you are using. You can find Reporting Services starting SKU in the Reporting Service logs ( default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\<instance name>\Reporting Services\LogFiles). For more information,
please refer to the similar thread below:

By the way, have you installed the other SQL Server edition before?

OWB 10g -- Can't Create Database Links for Data Source and Target

We installed OWB 10g server components on a Unix box running Oracle 10g (R2) database. The Designer Repository is in one instance. The Runtime Repository and the Target are in another instance. The OWB client component was installed on Windows XP. We create a data source module and a target module in OWB. The data source is on another Unix box running Oracle 9i (R2) database. We try to create database links for data source module and target module, respective. But when we created and tested the DB links, the DB links were failed.
For the database link of data source, we got the following error message:
Testing...
Failed.
SQL Exception
Repository Error:SQL Exception..
Class Name: CacheMediator.
Method Name: getDDEntryFromDB.
Repository Error Message: ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred
For the database link of target , we got the following error message:
Testing...
Failed.
API2215: Cannot create database link. Please contact Oracle Support with the stack trace and the details on how to reproduce it.
Repository Error:SQL Exception..
Class Name: oracle.wh.ui.integrator.common.RepositoryUtils.
Method Name: createDBLink(String, String, String, String).
Method Name: -1.
Repository Error Message: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended.
However, we could connect to the two databases (data source and target) using the OWBs utility SQL Plus.
Please help us to solve this problem. Thank you.

As I said prior the database link creation should work from within the OWB client (also in 10).
Regarding your issue when deploying, have you registered your target locations in the deployment manager and did you first deployed your target location's connector which points out to your source?
I myself had some problems with database link creations in the past and I can't remember exactly what they were but it had something to do with
- the use of abnormal characters in the database link name
- long domain name used in as names.default_domain in my sqlnet.ora file
What you can do is check the actual script created when deploying the database link so see if there's something strange and check if executing the created script manually works or not.

How to change database schema of data source in OWB?

Hi,
Could someone give me hint about my questions:
I select many database schema in TOAD. like "My Shema" and "All Schema".
If I create a Oracle Data Source in OWB 10.2. All tables/viewsI can see only from "My Schema" (I think it is default), However, I need to connect "All Scema". There are lots of prod tables/views. I don't know how to set/change/config in OWB even reading guide.
Thanks a lot
Lan

Lan,
You can ONE of the following:
1. Dbl click the src/target module and go to metadata location tab and select a location that has the details pointing to the different schema (If you do not have this location created, you may have to create one).
2. Create synonyms in "My Schema" to objects from other schema. Then try to import the tables again. This time you will be able to see the other tables (the icon will be different for synonyms.)
Hope That Helps.

Audit database. config auditing data source (DB2)

Hello expert,
I want to enable audit database for Business Object and I has followed the admin guide but not work.
I install Business Object enterprise XI 3.1 on AIX 5.3 .
When I installed BO ,I choose 'Use an existing database' and choose DB2. (The same database of SAP BW database)
And when the installation require the information of CMS and Audit database, I fill the same db alias as SAP BW database.
So now I has SAPBW , CMS and Audit data in the same database.
After installation I saw the CMS table in "DB2<aliasName>" schema.
But can not find the Audit table.
Does the audit table will create after installation?
Then I try to enable the audit database using cmsdbsetup.sh and I choose 'selectaudit' and fill in the information that it require.
Then it finish with no error.
"Select auditing data source was successful. Auditing Data Source setup finished."
But I still can not find any audit table in the database.
I run serverconfig.sh and I can't see the Enable Audit option when I choose 'modify a server'.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.
Chai

Hello,
Thanks for your reply.
It is not a BO cluster.
And a log detail when select audit data source is show as below

And the CMS log file did not show any error.
Additional detail:
- My BW and BO are in the same server.
- I already grant all the rights to the user who relate to audit database.
- My BW and BO are in the same database.
- There is no audit table appear in the database.
- No Fix pack installed.
I wonder why BO audit connection did not see my database.
(In case of DB2, I think the db2 alias name is the same name of the database name (as default).
So if my database name is BWD then the database alias name should be BWD, am I right?)
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

Using report parameter in data set filter expression with an SSAS data source

I have an SSRS report with an SSAS data source.
Report parameters:
Param1 - text, single select
Param2 - text, multi-select
Dataset:
In Query Designer, I want to include Param1 as a filter expression so I can have "Dimension1 Begins with @Param2". I'm not sure the exact syntax to make param2 work in this.
The point is to filter my data set on param1. If A is selected for param1, I want the data set to have the filter saying "Dimension1 begins with A"
Anyone know how to use a report parameter in the dataset filter expression for an ssas data source?

hi,
try this maybe the dates you are comparing are not in the same format.
I test data template in EBS but not with dates.
to_date(date,'dd/mm/YY') between to_date(:p_from_date ,'dd/mm/YY') and to_date(:p_to_date ,'dd/mm/YY')
if dont works try to put values insted of your parameter like :
to_date(date,'dd/mm/YY') between to_date(:p_from_date ,'10/01/07') and to_date(:p_to_date ,'01/12/07') ... put dates where u can have some values in report...
if dont work then try to print the values of the 2 parameters and the date of the select somwhere in ur report to see what you have in it..
hope it helps..
Regards Joe.

Setting pl/sql procedure as the data source in a Report Query

Is there a way to set PL/SQL as the data source in a Report Query? we want to
able to use the ReportQuery function and query results returned by a PL/SQL procedure.
thanks

Not exactly sure what you want to do, but on a ReportQuery you can set either a StoredProcedureCall, or an SQLCall.
query.setCall(new StoredProcedureCall(...));
query.setCall(new SQLCall("begin; my_proc(); end"));
Now, a stored procedure in Oracle cannot return a result, so using a ReportQuery which requires a result may not make sense.
You could instead use a DataModifyQuery.
If you return results through output parameters (you must use a StoredProcedureCall for this) you could use a DataReadQuery or a ReadAllQuery/ReportQuery if you wish to build objects from the data.

Using WLST to set up credential mapping on JDBC Data Source

I am wanting to write a script (WLST) to set up a large initial set of credential mappings on a JDBC data source.
I can create the datasource and do all the basic set ups, but I can't figure out how to do the credential mappings.
I tried the "record" option from the Admin console, but it created a script that says that credential mappings are not recorded.
This is the mapping function that you get to from the "Security" tab on the DataSource page, and then the "Credential Mappings" tab. This allows you to map a "WLS user" to a "remote user" - which in my case is an Oracle OLS user.
I am using Weblogic 10.3
Can anyone point me to a set of commands which can perform this function?
Thanks!

I wonder if there isn't a publicly visible MBean for the credential mapping. That would explain why the recorded script doesn't have the mbean method invocations.

You need to download and install the latest version 11 beta release to take advantage of the latest features, including integration with Server Explorer.

AE 5.2: Using Database as User Data Source

Hi all,
we have a problem connecting our User Data Source, which is basically just a DB accessible via SQL, to Access Enforcer 5.2 SP08.
To my knowledge AE only supports LDAP, SAP, SAP UME and SAP HR, none of which will be able to extract the data from our data source.
Is there a way of directly mapping the DB fields with our user data to the AE request fields (like the LDAP mapping, but without using the LDAP protocol)?
Would there be a workaround like attaching the UME to an external database? SAP Help only refers to the following sources:
"UME can use the following types of data sources: Database of the AS Java, Directory service, User management of the AS ABAP"
If so, would this also work with a dual stack system (ABAP&JAVA)?
Thanks,
Daniela

Hi,
I'm not sure of all the complexities around this but we had a similar problem where the user respository we used could not be connected using LDAP.
The solution that was implemented was to create an ADAM (Active Directory Application Mode) directory, which is connected to the user repository - ADAM is then connected the UME for AE as the LDAP server.
Probably not the most elegant solution, but we have been using this in PRD environment for a couple of months now without any performance issues.
Unfortunately I don't have all the details to guide you through all the config that was required, but perhaps you could investigate this as an alternative solution.

With SQL Express, Data source should be local SQL DB.
With SQL Enterprise, Standard, BI edition, you can create Data soruce which are hosted on other servers.
