Single .rar file for multiple data sources

Can we configure multiple data sources into single .rar file? . Currently,
we are creating a seperate .rar file to configure each datasource by
'only' modifing ra.xml file. This is proving to be a tedius operation in
some cases when the application is integrated with multiple data sources.

Siva-
Unfortunately, no. One of the limitations of the resource adapter spec
is that it doesn't provide a means of specifying multiple separate named
configurations, so you can only have a single configuration.
If you need more flexibility, you may want to consider programatically
building up the PersistenceManagerFactory and then binding them into
JNDI.

Configure a single ODI install for multiple Data Sources in ERPI

I am setting up multiple data sources in ERPI to point to different EBS instances. How would I go about setting up ODI to support that without multiple installations of ODI? or is multiple installs the best way to go, from an 'ease of management' perspective?
Thanks!

First off - Have no knowledge of ERPi - Just googled it.
If its any help, we have multiple instances of EBS on the same box, we have seperate DWH (and ODI Work / Master Repos) environments aligned to these instances. An ODI Agent can only communicate with one ODI Work repository, hence we have Multiple Agents so we can use the EBIZ -> DWH pairs simultaneasouly.
Maybe someone will come along and tell us how it could work differently, until then - its works for us!

ADF Service Interface: two-phase commit issue for multiple data sources

In FusionApps, For a service interface we had to use two DataSource resources (in the ejb-jar.xml),
one is ApplicationServiceDBDS for SI and the other one is ApplicationDBDS(I don’t know the exact reason why this is needed, but when running the webservice, Framework was throwing an error asking for this) After adding these two, now(while running the webservice) we’re caught up with an error saying that unable to participate in two phase commit. I think this is because we added two dataSources, if we just use one dataSource everything is working fine.
Error message from app server:
"JDBC driver does not support XA, hence cannot be a participant in two-phase commit. To force this participation, set the GlobalTransactionsProtocol attribute to LoggingLastResource (recommended) or EmulateTwoPhaseCommit for the Data Source=ApplicationDB"
we have made the changes to ApplicationDB as said in the error message, but then the server is failing to start because of this.

Hi,
this is what the doc says - though not about two phase commit but transaction sharing:
"At runtime, the calling client and the ADF service may or may not participate in the same transaction, depending on the protocol used to invoke the service (either SOAP or RMI). Only the RMI protocol and a Java Transaction API (JTA) managed transaction support the option to call the service in the same transaction as the calling client."
When your application accesses a remote ADF Business Components service, each remote call is stateless, and the remote service will not participate in the same transaction as the business component that uses a service-enabled application module's service interface.
In the majority of the cases, calls to remote services will be informational in nature and will not make changes to remote objects. However, if you must use a remote service to make changes, then keep these points in mind:
An exception thrown by the remote service will cause the local transaction to fail.
If you successfully call a remote service that results in modifying data, and then subsequently your local transaction fails for any reason, then it is the responsibility of your error handling code to perform a compensating transaction against the remote service to "undo" the previous change made."

Data security for multiple data sources

Dear BO guru's,
I am struggling with a brainbraker on authorizations on Universes since quite some time.
I am not a BO guru so hopefully someone can help me with this.
I (more or less) know the concept of data security in BO: users can be restricted on data level in (mainly) two ways:
1) with roles in CMC and with restrictions in Universe Designer.
OR
2) with a DB table that contains all authorized values per user and per field (i.e. John can see data for country UK)
The first is easy to set up, but hard to maintain.
The second is difficult to set up, but very flexible.
Now here is the problem...
Supporse your BO server is connected to different source systems (i.e. an SQL server, an Oracle server...) and you want only one universe to get data from all systems at the same time and display it in one report.
If I am not mistaken, this means we need a data federator.
...My questions:
1) Is there a possibility to do this without a data federator (but still have one universe to build my report or dashboard on)?
2) Where do I keep the table with authorizations for the users? Is that a database of the BO Enterprise server, a seperate data base, or in a table of one of the source systems (SQL, Oracle...)?
As this questions keeps me busy since long time, I would be very grateful to have your help.
It seems hard to find information on this.
Thanks a lot in advance!
UniverseDummy

1) Is there a possibility to do this without a data federator (but still have one universe to build my report or dashboard on)?
Apart from the Data Federator, you can either use an ETL tool to load your data into a single Datawarehouse or wait until XI 4.0
2) Where do I keep the table with authorizations for the users? Is that a database of the BO Enterprise server, a seperate data base, or in a table of one of the source systems (SQL, Oracle...)?
If you are going to use the Data Federator then you can create the table in one of your source systems and add it as a data source in your DF project.

Creation of one single config file for 100 packages

Hello Everyone,
I need to create a single config file for multiple packages. Is it possible to do it?
Could you please let me know how can it be achieved?
Regards,
Chinni

Its possible
Depending on whether all packages contain same configuration items and names you can use any of below approaches
1. If all package configuration items and names are same, you can point all packages to same config file and it will use values from file for all of them
2.If packages have different set of conigurations, then one method is to use parent package (wrapper package) to call and execute all of them. Then define all configurations as variable values in parent and add a config file in it. Pass only required configurations
to each of child packages by using parent package configuration method.
http://www.sqlis.com/sqlis/post/Using-Parent-Package-Variables-in-Package-Configurations.aspx
The parent package has to call child packages using execute package task
Then change any of values in your config file for parent package and change gets reflected to child package property values.

Handling source files for multiple versions

Ok, I've looked around on the web and multiple discussions and have yet to find an answer. We currently have two authors working on the same help project that we have handled relatively successfully under RoboSource. Our development environment has changed so that we need to be able to support multiple versions of the help at once ie- release branch vs development branch that we want documented but it is not yet slated to be in the release.
I've looked at the help for RoboSource and there is an idea of branching but not much help on how this is done or if it really maintains two sets of the files, etc. I've also seen some postings on the forum for this that have gone unanswered. Makes me suspect that perhaps RoboSource doesn't really support multiple versions of help source files. I would be happy to admit that I'm wrong here.
Another option to solve our challenge is by committing our source files to the development source system, SVN. I've noticed some threads discussing this. I'm unsure from reading these posts if RoboHelp alerts you when you are about to modify a file, such fpj or hhk, that is being used by someone else like RoboSource does. Since we still have two authors playing in the same help project it would be most efficient if it would notify us before letting us write over one another's work.
Can anyone shed some light on:
1) does RoboSource really support multiple versions of the help source files and how it is done?
2) does RoboHelp notice when a file is locked in SVN and notify the other author to keep hands off until it is committed again?
3) is there somewhere better for me to research this?
Thanks you for any assistance you can provide,
Nita

We're using RSC 3.1 with RH 8 and with RH X5, and we've found that this is actually a two-step process:
Branching is the method for copying a snapshot of a folder (to establish two branches of the same source).
Reconciling (AKA forward/back patching) is the method for synchronizing edits between branches (or not, as the case may be).
For example, a "V12.3" branch of the "main" source has been prepared for one customer's specific needs. All edits to "main" will be forward patched to "V12.3," but edits to specific areas of "V12.3" will not be back patched to "main."
Tim, my boss, prepared the tutorials below, as much for himself as for us, and I have only stripped the screenshots to protect our intellectual property. Note also that we reference two publish locations, one for internal reviewing, and one for Release Engineering to include in our nightly product builds. Your environment might only have a single publish destination. Note also that the output files are never added to RSC.
Pay special attention to your folder naming process before you start, by anticipating any potential future branching needs. Folder renaming after the fact can be problematic in RH and RSC.
Good luck,
Leon
===================================
Branching Projects in RoboSource 3.1
Since the Help for RoboSource and Robohelp lack a proper explanation for branching and updating configuration files to support proper branching, this document has been created to assist in creating future branches.
Creating New Local Directories
Individuals must create new local path directories on their systems. We use the following conventions:
Ex. C:\902_imsmerge\projects (source folder)
Ex. C:\902_imsgenerate\mergedProjects (output folder)
Create New Server Directories
New server directories need to be created in two locations for holding the output files.
One is for the Robohelp output that gets put in the nightly .war file and checked into Perforce.
The other is in the wwwroot of our IIS server for our doc web site.
They are defined as follows:
\\docsql01\Documentation\RoboHelp\9.0.3\imsgenerate
\\docsql01\Inetpub\wwwroot\help_sys\9.0.3
Create new directories with the correct branch number.
Using RoboSource View Manager to Create a Branch
You use the View Manager to create a new branch. In RoboSource 3.1, a branch is just a different type of view.
Assume the version_903 branch has already been created. To create a new branch, click the Create button and name the new branch (version_910), leaving a blank root folder.
Click on Set Root to define the root folder for the new branch.
Select the root for the branch and click OK.
Select the view (branch) and click Properties. In the Properties window, select Branch as the Type, then click Close.
In the View Manager, check the check box to enable the view.
Setting the Local Path for the New Branch
Select the new branch and right-click.
Type in or browse to the correct local path, check the Apply Recursively box, click Apply. Close the Properties window.
Editing .xpj Files
The .xpj files in the new branch need to be edited to point to the new branch. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. IF NOT DONE ROBOHELP WILL CHECK IN CHANGES TO BOTH THE BRANCH AND THE ROOT.
One line in each project’s .xpj needs to change. See below.
This value must match the branch the project lives in. In our above new branch example this would be changes to %version_910.
In a merged project, you can change all these at once with the FAR tool.
Edit the .ssl and .sss files
These files need to be edited to redefine the generating and publishing paths. Note that this can also be accomplished with the FAR tool, or by having each writer do it through the GUI.
ssl Files
The .ssl files contain the data for the generate path. Although there might be seven .ssl files for each project, you only need to edit the ones for your Primary Layout and one or two others that you might also use.
Make sure the generate path is defined correctly.
sss Files
The .sss file defines the publishing paths. This edit can also be done through the GUI if necessary.
====================================
Forward and Back Patching in RoboSource
This document describes the procedure of forward or back patching files (.htm or .gif) between branches in the RoboSource system. The RoboSource product uses a feature called Reconcile Changes to accomplish patching between branches.
Example Scenario
Throughout this document we will use a real life example from the refwindows project.
We have edited the version 9.0.3 security_master_folder.htm file in RoboHelp.
Now, we need to backpatch it to version 9.0.2.
Selecting Folders or Files to Reconcile
You can select either:
A single file for reconciliation
The source folder, or
The destination folder
If you have just one file to reconcile, you will probably want to use the single file method. If you have several files to reconcile, you will need to use the folder method.
Working from the Source Folder
Select the source folder (folder that contains the updated file) in source control. In our case, %version_903/refwindows.
Select Reconcile Changes … from the Action menu. This opens the Reconcile window.
Select the appropriate option in the Reconcile window.
In our example we select the first option to reconcile from %version_903 because that is where our updated file is. Make sure the correct project is selected in the drop-down list. ($/version_902/refwindows).
Other Options
Reconcile changes made in another branch *into %verison_903/refwindows. This is the option you would use if you have an updated file in another branch that you want to put in 903.
Reconcile changes made locally (in c:\903_imsmerge\projects\refwindows) and %version_903/refwindows. We would most likely never use this option.
Reconcile changes made in another database *into* this database. Do not use.
None of the above, let me select what to Reconcile. This one sounds like it would be a good option, but it gets even more complicated.
Wildcard Filter. Use this to display only certain file types. For example, *.htm;*.gif;*.jpg would filter on those file types.
Click OK to open the Difference Reconciliator window.
Notice that this window shows all files in the project that have differences such as the .ssl and .xpj files.
IMPORTANT: NEVER reconcile these files, they are supposed to be different.
You can prevent these files from displaying by using the Wildcard Filter discussed above.
Select the appropriate file (security_master_folder.htm). This window will allow you to replace the file in the version_902 project unfortunately, it will also allow you to replace the updated file with the older one. Be Careful Here.
You can also View Differences from this window by clicking the View Differences link.
Click the Replace button in the $/version_902 pane.
You will get a confirmation dialog. Before clicking OK, take the time to read the question. This is your opportunity to catch potential mistakes!
You will then get the Reconcile Checkout dialog.
Be sure Perform the action directly on the Server is checked, click OK.
You see that the Difference Reconciliator window now indicates No changes to merge from %version_903/rewindows/security_master_folder.htm in the $version_902 pane.
Close the window.
Check the Destination Folder
In the source control window go to the destination branch and check the project. You can see in this shot that the security_master_folder.htm file now shows the date it was replaced, and that the server version is now different from your local version.
Working from the Destination Folder
If you had chosen the destination folder and select Reconcile Changes, the same window would have opened but with different options.
Here you would have selected the second option to reconcile into $/version_902.
You can do it either way, just pay careful attention to the options. The rest of the process is the same.

Data Extraction from Multiple data sources into a single Infoprovider

Hi Experts,
Can anyone send me links or examples on how to extract data from multiple data sources into 1 Cube/DSO.
Can anyone send me example scenarios for extracting data from 2 data sources into a single Cube/DSO.
Thanks
Kumar

Hi Ashok,
Check the following link from SAP help. Ths is probably what you are looking for.
[ Multiple data sources into single infoprovider|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm]
Data from multiple data sources which are logically related and technicall have the same key can be combined into single record.
For example, if you have Sales order item and sales order item status .
These both have the same key - sales order and item and are logically related.
The Sales order item - provides information on Sales order item - material , price, quantity, plant etc.
The item status - povides information on delivery status, billing status, rejection status....
These are two different data sources 2LIS_!1_VAITM ad 2LIS_11_VASTI.
In case you have few master data attributes coming from different systems ie tow data sources in different systems say completely defines your master data. Then you could use a DSO or infoobject to combine the records.
If you want to see aggregated data you use a cube.
ie say you want to analyzae the customer revenue on a particular material and a particular project.
The project details would come from Project syatem and Sales details fom sales flow.
The data is then combined in the DSO with key cutomer and sales area say.
Then it is aggregated at cube level...by not using sales order in the cube model...so all sales order of the same customer would add while loading the cube.. to give direct customer spend values for your sales area at aggregated level.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Sunmit.

Does OBIEE has ability to create a single cube from multiple data sources?

Hi all,
Does OBIEE has the ability to create a single cube from multiple sources and does it has the ability to join multiple cubes?
Looking forward to ur reply.

Hi
OBIEE can join multiple data sources to make a single data model, but it's not a cube in the multi-dimensional sense like Essbase or Oracle OLAP.
To be able to join datasources together they need to have a common dimension or FK relationship depending on what the source is and what you want to do with it.

Bursting with multiple data sources

Hello all,
I am working in a retail environment and we are building reports for the stores. There are several reports and they all receive the same reports. We are using BIP Entreprise with the bursting feature and it works very well.
The problem is that there are too many reports and we would like to combine all reports of the same store within the same PDF. We use the multiple data source feature and was able to concatenate all reports together.
Using this new report and template, we can not make the bursting functionality to work properly: the bursted report do not contain all the required report components.
For example, I have 2 queries A and B each producing reports for 3 stores: 2, 4 and 5. Without bursting, the output is as is:
Query A - Store 2
Query A - Store 4
Query A - Store 5
Query B - Store 2
Query B - Store 4
Query B - Store 5
With bursting into a file using the store number, I get the following:
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A
File 2 - Store 4 - Query A
File 3 - Store 5 - Query A
+ Store 2 - Query B
+ Store 4 - Query B
+ Store 5 - Query B
I would like to have the following output:
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A
+ Store 2 - Query B
File 2 - Store 4 - Query A
+ Store 4 - Query B
File 3 - Store 5 - Query A
+ Store 5 - Query B
The main question is: can this be done using BI Pub Enterprise? We using version 10.1.3.3.2
If it is, can you provide me with help on how to configure either/or the requests and template to accomplish this task?
I create an SR and Oracle Support does not have an answser and suggested that somebody in the Forum might help.
Thanks in advance,
Minh

I would like to have the following output:
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
File 2 - Store 4 - Query A + Store 4 - Query B
File 3 - Store 5 - Query A + Store 5 - Query B
the bursting level should be give at
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
so the tag in the xml has to be split by common to these three rows.
since the data is coming from the diff query, and the data is not going to be under single tag.
you cannot burst it using concatenated data source.
But you can do it, using the datatemplate, and link the query and get the data for each file under a single query,
select distinct store_name from all-stores
select * from query1 where store name = :store_name === 1st query
select * from query2 where store name = :store_name === 2nd query
define the datastructure the way you wanted,
the xml will contain something like this
<stores>
<store> </store> - for store 2
<store> </store> - for store 3
<store> </store> - for store 4
<store> </store> - for store 5
<stores>
now you can burst it at store level.

Web Analysis : populate the same table with multiple data sources

Hi folks,
I would like to know if it is possible to populate a table with multiple data sources.
For instance, I'd like to create a table with 3 columns : Entity, Customer and AvgCostPerCust.
Entity and Customer come from one Essbase, AvgCostPerCust comes from HFM.
The objective is to get a calculated member which is Customer * AvgCostPerCust.
Any ideas ?
Once again, thanks for your help.

I would like to have the following output:
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
File 2 - Store 4 - Query A + Store 4 - Query B
File 3 - Store 5 - Query A + Store 5 - Query B
the bursting level should be give at
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
so the tag in the xml has to be split by common to these three rows.
since the data is coming from the diff query, and the data is not going to be under single tag.

<stores>
now you can burst it at store level.

Single content repository for multiple archiving objects?

We have three archiving objects that the business has basically set the same retention period for all of them (April 1: archive previous year (current-1), delete archived data from the year before (current-2)). Rather than have three separate repositories, would it be a good practice to place these three (and any other that meet the criteria) into the same repository making the management of these simpler (deleting from IXOS)?
Thank you,

Hi,
COntent repository can be single or multiple. It depends on the clients requirements.
How ever you can recommend to your client based on the following best practices :\
(1) COntent repositories can be created and allocated based on the archive object.This will help the client to maintain the archive files and also use them at a later stage for retrieval/audit or any other purpose.
(2) Content repositories can also be created and allocated based on the retention time .
(3) Single content rep for multiple objects is technically possible but this is not a good approach.If this is done, then utmost care needs to be taken during the Archive file naming convention ( while archiving the data for a particular object) . Such a naming convention would reduce the hassels of getting the archived files mixing up. this will also help you to better manage the archive files of different objects in a single content rep.
DIfferent clients may use any of the approact based on their records management strategy.
Hope this information helps.

Multiple data sources to open hub destination ??

Hi,
Is it possible to assign multiple data sources to open hub destination?
At present we are FTP'ing a file to users. Users need one more field added to this file. The information for this field belongs to another ODS. I checked the infospoke but it does not accept multiple data sources.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Edited by: BI Quest on Sep 4, 2008 8:12 PM

You can create multiple transformations for open hub destination. Create destination of open hub destination to be file on application server and then use transfer mechanism to transfer files to desired destination.

Multiple data sources with UME

Hi,
I want to run several (web) applications on my SAP WebAS. And these applications should have different user stores. That is, one should be a database, one a SAP ABAP System and another should be another ABAP System.
How can I configure the UME correctly?
Do I have to configure different data sources? Or do I have to write my own loginmodules?
And what's the situation if I have WebDynpro Apps? There I cannot use custom loginmodules, can I?
In the SAP Library it says that "UME can be configured to read and write user-related data from and to multiple data sources".
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e5/618a3eacd49076e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Any hints?
Best regards,
Kilian.

Hi Michael, hi John,
All these 3 apps are independent, i.e. they have different users no "overlapping" users. We need for every independent, homogeneous group of users an own user store.
As John stated, we can edit a UME configuration XML file and define multiple data sources in it. However, this is still a server-wide user store.
Is there no way to assign an application to a user store or a UME data source and not have a server-wide user store?
And if not where can I get a description of these "initial namespace-attribute-value triples" mentioned in the SAP Library on User-Based Data Partitioning (see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cd/eafc3f8fc2c542e10000000a1550b0/content.htm).
Many thanks,
Kilian
