Solution for BO and Oracle EBS

Hi all,
I have a customer who use oracle EBS for their ERP solution. now they want to implement BI for their system.
1. Incase I dont use Data Intergrator and data mart so how can BO extract data from EBS?
2. Do I have to build up universes to It Oracle database? (they don't have oracle olap)
3. Does any one have the example implementation plan for BO project? Please share it with me.
Thanks,
Chuong Hoang

Hi Chuong,
only a XI 3.1 version is available on [http://service.sap.com]. Never saw an XI 3.0 version for this.

Volumes and Qtrees set up for SAP and Oracle

Hi Gurus
I Need your help Please
I need to get Volumes and Qtrees set up for SAP and Oracle.
I found a document from NetApp that helped a lot about the structure.
But what I donu2019t know and canu2019t find anywhere is sizing for the volumes and Qtrees.
I really need some guidelines on sizing these below:
FlexVol saplog
/usr/sap/SID
/usr/sap/trans
/sapmnt/SID
/home/SIDadm
/oracle/SID
/oracle/SID/origlogA
/oracle/SID/origlogB
/oracle/SID/oraarch
/oracle/SID/sapreorg
/oracle/SID/sapbackup
/oracle/SID/saparch
FlexVol sapdata
/oracle/SID/sapdata1
/oracle/SID/sapdata2
/oracle/SID/sapdataN
FlexVol mirrlogs
/oracle/SID/mirrlogA
/oracle/SID/mirrlogB
Thanks and appreciate your help

> I have gone through the Inst Guide and I was surprised to see only 50 MB for Oracle software directory ?
Where did you read that?
> The sizing given in Installation guide is for typical setup or do we need to size as per our requirement ?
The sizing give there is for the initial system setup. It does not contain customer specific requirements.
The usual process is:
- you contact your hardware vendor
- you use http://service.sap.com/quicksizer together with him and fill in the data
- the hardware vendor will offer you the storage and the machines for the setup
- the vendor configures with you the storage and the necessary filesystem layout based on that sizing
Each customers setup is different and requires the experience and knowledge from the respective hardware vendor how to set up the system so it performs well.
You can follow the suggestions given here, this will be enough for the initial setup but the system will grow. This is not taken into account in the installation guide because it's customer specific.

Annoture - Metadata Bridging Solution for Aperture and iView

Aperture and iView users:
I just released Annoture, a metadata bridging solution for Aperture and iView MediaPro! With Annoture, you’re just a click away from sharing metadata between these two popular image management and cataloguing applications. Spend more time working with your decisive moments than worrying about double-entry and incomplete metadata!
Annoture lets you transfer annotations from iView MediaPro catalogs to Aperture projects and albums and back. This two-way transfer of IPTC and metadata information means you are not tied to any one application for your image management and workflow needs. Annoture also features a modular interface that can be extended to support additional applications in the future.
http://www.tow.com/software/annoture/
Users of Aperture and iView can download a fully-functional version of Annoture. The unregistered version will occasionally display a reminder to register, and all images processed in Aperture by Annoture will have a custom “Annotated with Annoture!” tag added. You can remove these items with the full version after purchasing and entering your license code.
Enjoy!

Unbelievable no solution for FMS3 and FLVPlayback???

I've spent the past 2 days scouring Google and dozens (easily over 100) websites
trying to find an answer to something that people do every day!
I am absolutely shocked that this info is not available anywhere online.
A simple FMS3 and AS3 and RTMP and FLVPlayback example....
totaly not simple and not possible to find!!
I try every possible combination:
import fl.video.*;
VideoPlayer.iNCManagerClass = fl.video.NCManagerNative;
myVideo.autoPlay = true;
myVideo.isLive = true;
myVideo.isLive = false;
myVideo.source = "rtmp://localhost/appName/videos/flvName.flv";
myVideo.source = "rtmp://localhost/appName/streams/flvName.flv";
myVideo.source = "rtmp://localhost/appName/streams/videos/flvName.flv";
myVideo.source = "rtmp://localhost/appName/flvName.flv";
none is working!!
i did not find any working simple solution for:
FMS3 and AS3 and RTMP and FLVPlayback
anywere on the web
only for:
FMS3 and AS3 and RTMP and Video and NetStream
if someone could bring "salvation" to this required important issue
i will be so thankfull

Janaki L thanks a lot for your replay
i think i know where the problam come from
its from point number 8 in your raplay:
8. Make sure you have a publisher connected to your 'server' using the 'appname'
and streaming a live stream with the name 'streamname'
I thought i do not need a publisher to be connected to my appname in my server.
i thought FLVPlayback is doing the netConnection and start streaming the flv
that are already published and sitting on the server.
Is it not possible for the user that use swf with the FLVPlayback to make a netConnection
by ac3 code or some other wey and the FLVPlayback will use that connection to play the flv for that user
without third party connected publisher?
If not - maybe i can use HTTP to let the FLVPlayback play the flv for the user
but that bring me to other problem:
my localhost is at:
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\
the flv is at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3.5\applications\appName\streams\videos\flvName.flv
what will be the http url for the flv?

Mapping Roles/Groups between OBIEE 11g and Oracle EBS R12

Hi,
We are implementing OBIEE 11g with Oracle EBS R12 as source system. Also we are using Out of the box RPD for Oracle EBS R12.
But we are facing lot of challenges to map OBIEE 11g groups and EBS roles and responsibilities. We do not have prior experience with EBS as source system.
Can anyone tell how to map between obiee groups with Oracle E-Business suit R12
Is there any document link or notes regarding this.
Any help regarding this will really save us.
Thanks in advance

Please read:
Integrating with EBS Suite Security: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/bi.1111/e16364/ebs_actions.htm#BIEIT1321
As I understand you need to create a Connection Pool to your EBS database. I think that would be a serious security aspect for the integration to work over two different networks. But I don't think it's impossible.
Domain Prerequisites is another challenge in this scenario.
More specifically: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/bi.1111/e16364/ebs_actions.htm#CHDHCAFD

Developing solutions for small and medium enterprises (FREE)?

I heard that Oracle Express DATABASE is free. Is it absolutely true?
Also I heard that if you use developer (forms, reports builder) and you leave the FMX / REP files in your customer it is also for free (no license cost).
How true is it?
Oh, the real question is...
what would you suggest?
Developing small solutions in web (with VISUAL STUDIO <dot net>) connecting with ORACLE EXPRESS?
or Still use developer 6.1 (remember for small and medium enterprises).
I suggest your comments.
gracias

That is only half true, and the part about Oracle Express only applies as long as the database remains less than 1 GB in size.
I have not heard any indication that Developer 6i/9i/10g content can be developed and used without a license. Oracle Applications Express (HTMLDB replacement) is a cool Free tool that interacts well with Oracle Express.

Pls help putting together the BEST SOLUTION for PP and AE CS4

Hi guys
I was tasked to put together the best machine (machines) for video editing / rendering .. money is not an issue.
My client is a TV broadcasting network and they do lots of videos everyday .. They want to render their work as FAST as possible because sometimes they have tight deadlines and rendering and re rendering (if there are mistakes) has cost them .. so now they're serious about getting the best technology to achieve best rendering time possible, but in a bit of practical sense of course.. i mean there's no sense spending 1000USD or more for a piece of technology that offers under 10 second faster rendering only ..
What they do and want
- edit/put together/ sequence lots of videos constantly, under premiere cs3 (will upgrade to cs4 on the new machine)
- use affter effects for some effects and 3D stuffs.. but not that much.. but increasingly as time goes by and their video editors get more affter effects training..
- needs really really fast rendering!! Right now it takes them typically 1-2 hours to render stuffs, and what to cut this time by half or more..
Existing Setups on work stations:
Intel QuadCore (Q6600, i7, Q9550, Xeon x3220, and the likes)
4GB RAM DDR2 1066mhz
Highend motherboards
GeForce 9500GT , 9800GT, and GTX 260 216sp
GSKILL Falcon 64GB SSD Drive as primary
1TB Western Digital BLACK edition drives for storage
Software:
Windows XP 32 bit
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 (80% of all their work done here)
AE CS3
etc..
Running NOD32 Antivirus
I am an somewhat of an expert in Hardware and stuff, i build custom PC's machines most of my life but i have limiited knowledge on optimizing hardware for VIDEO EDITING stuffs.. so i turn to you all.
I do understand that w/ video editing CPU is the most important, followed by RAM, and ofcourse by HDD for disc caches and stuff.. and where videocard may come to an advantage as well. and normally i'd suggest the fastest components available . i7 , extreme processors, skulltrail dual quad setups perhaps? RAID 0 SSD Drive? etc.. but I do not know w/c gives the most advantage, and w/c is a waste of money..
I also read about quadro cards offering really big performance improvements using CUDA tech etc..
again im not the expert at this type of requirment.. so i need your advises..
with unlimitted PRACTICAL budget given to me to come up w/ a solution I initially thought a rendering farm would be the solution, but upon reading around it seems there's no rendering farm solution for PP CS4.. just the adobe after effects part.. so i had to go back to the drawing board and suggest really powerful work stations instead..and perhaps have them migrate to 64bit OS for that "extra" performance.. i myself am on win7 64bit and it's looking mighty good.
1) is this the right move?
2) is it still worth it to put together rendering farm for AE renders only? or might as well concentrate funds on the machines/workstations?
Also along the PRACTICALITY LINE, would it be practical to maintain all the existing machines, and instead build a manned RENDERING MACHINE w/ PP and AE (basically desktop or Server if they are faster at rendering w/ the best specs for the purpose etc) where they can just throw the workload to some guy there for rendering? Atleast the editors can continue using the workstations while the rendering machine guy is at work? and even perhaps setup a gigabit lan network where the RENDERING MACHINES can dynamically pull the work load via the network , not needing to transfer the files to the rendering machine first ? etc
as you can see im not only looking for the best machine, but the best STRATEGY for my client.
Good suggestions would be much appreciated.
regards to all

in a nut shell no. if you do not have to "Share" then Avid is pointless Adobe is a far better answer.
Avid solutions still need a computer. The Mojo.Nitris are a joke and Avid no longer provides computers even the Symphany comes with your choice of Apple Mac Pro or HP 800. (Dual Xeon)
there are better "hardware" answers that what Avid sells for Adobe. Decklink, Aja to name a few.
if you have to share then you have no choice. this is the one area Abode does not lead.
renders have to do primarily with 2 things CPU power (Xeon will render faster than single i7)
and Drives. the faster your drive set up the faster the render. Memory does play a part and so does the video card depending on what codec and to what
it also depends on WHAT you are rendering and from what for the HDDs.
without knowing your work flow format and codec its impossible to suggest something.
in terms of rendering
Core i7
Dual Xeon (faster unless still doing DV/HDV thru firewire)
Sonnet raid array

Directory Setup for RAC and Oracle Restart

I have three database installations that I'd like some insight on the initial directory structure and permissions. The three installations are:
1) Prod RAC - OEL 5U2, 11.2.0.2 Grid Infrastructure, 11.2.0.2 DB EE with RAC option
2) Test RAC - OEL 5U2, 11.2.0.2 Grid Infrastructure, 11.2.0.2 DB EE with RAC option
3) Single Instance - OEL 5U2, 11.2.0.2 Grid Infrastructure Standalone (Oracle Restart), 11.2.0.2 DB EE
The they all have two users GRID (for Grid Infrastructure Software Owner) and ORACLE (for Oracle Database Software Owner).
We had a consultant install the databases. It's very weird since we have an inconsistency in directories and permission. I want to understand the inconsistency between RAC installations as well as Oracle Restart Install.
SEE BELOW: The two RAC servers have different owners for /u01/app/11.2.0.2 directory. The Oracle Restart Installation - Single Instance has the same owner as Prod RAC but different than Test RAC. What the consultant said was that ORACLE_BASE would be /u01/app/oracle for both Grid Infrastructure and Database installations. This was to apply to TEST/PROD RAC (3 node, 3 instances, 1 instance/node) and Oracle Restart installation. The GRID_HOME would be /u01/app/11.2.0.2/grid and ORACLE_HOME would be /u01/app/11.2.0.2/db_1. It seems like the owners aren't setup correctly. Why? I don't want problems with patching or upgrading. If this setup is technically incorrect what is the best way to setup so there's no owner/permission issues. Is it necessary to have two separate ORACLE_BASE's like /u01/app/grid?

Hello
I did only check prod, as that is the important one.
i am afraid that setup is not clean. I won't use the work is wrong, but need to be normalized.
grid oracle base need to be separate from oracle oracle base, and the grid oracle home, MUST be outside of oracle base/oracle home of the oracle user.
In a multi user setup, the structure should be as follow.
grid user, group oinstall, asm* groups
oracle user, group oinstall, dba and db* groups
The GRID install, have, grid home and oracle base
the oracle base for grid should be, /u01/app/grid
the grid home should be, /u01/app/11.2.0.3/grid
the Oracle user have several homes, and oracle base
the oracle base for oracle should be, /u01/oracle
so, for permissions, when I create this, i do as root
mkdir -p /u01/app/11.2.0.3/grid
mkdir -p /u01/app/grid
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
mkdir -p /u01/app/oraInventory
chown -R grid:oinstall /u01
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
then, you install grid .. you have so say oracle home is /u01/app/grid and oracle home is /u01/app/11.2.0.3/grid
at the end, the root.sh as part of the install will take care of the permissions for oraInventory, and the rest for grid.
when grid is installed, you can move to the oracle db install you use oracle base as /u01/app/oracle and oracle home as /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/dbhome_1
that will give you

Each user have to use his own oracle_base, as each oracle_base will store files and folders created for logs, admin, diagnostic with different permissions and different usages, for a reason you have role separation.

How to validate prerequisite for ODP and Oracle Client connection

Hi.
I have a very simple application on .Net that connect to Oracle using ODP (was compiled with Oracle.DataAccess dll 10.2).
I want to check "connection prerequisite" (application will be able to connect to DB) before installing this aplication on other computers?
How can I check that ODP.NET version 10.2 or higher is installed on target host (registry check is not enopugh)?
I know that I can check ODP entries in registry - but this will not check Oracle Client and compatibility between client and ODP.
Also, if ODP was installed by ODAC XCopy installation - registry may be not updated by new ODP entry.
And - if I am installing on the computer, DB was installed on, Oracle Client can be not installed separately.
And one more issue: When I tried to run "test connection" method from installation, that use referenced dll on machine, that has only ODAC (with ODP) 11, - "Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleInit.Initialize()
at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection..cctor()" error message was thrown (policies for both ODAC 10.2 and 11 are exists in GAC (assembly), pointing to Oracle.DataAccess 11 from ODP 2x bin).
So, How and which components can I check to ensure appropriate versions of ODP and Oracle Client were installed and application will be connected?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
You could check for the presense of Oracle.DataAccess.dll in the GAC. Bear in mind you'd also want to check the version and whether a policy files exists as well as a newer version + policy file will work too (but not without the policy file).
That wouldn't confirm the install is valid and works though, and I don't know of a way you could easily check that, apart from perhaps simply trying to run a small exe that attempts a connection to the database.
With respect to the type initializer exception, that occurs when ODP cant find the right oraops*.dll or oci.dll, usually due to the wrong one being found, but can also occur if one is not found at all. Quite often this is due to the application including ODP in its bin directory rather than letting ODP get picked up out of the gac. Prior to 10.2.0.2.20, ODP loads the dependencies based in PATH so multiple homes can cause it as well. 10.2.0.2.20 and higher ODP loads dll's based on DLLPATH registry entry.
Hope it helps,

Installation of Oracle Discoverer for PeopleSoft and Oracle apps(11.5.10)

Hello Gurus,
I hope I am in the right forum. I have been assigned to install Oracle Discoverer for Oracle ERP (11.5.10). We currently have a Oracle Discoverer environment for Peoplesoft. My questions are follows.
1. Can I use the existing Oracle Discoverer which is used to get PeopleSoft data for Oracle Applications (11.5.10) ?? This way I avoid installing another copy of Discoverer. In Future, if we could use the existing technology for other Databases.
2. If I go in for a new install of Oracle Discoverer, what is that I need to install ? I am guessing, there should be
1. Desktop application on the client
2. Do I need to install anything on the server ?
3. I will have a Oracle Discoverer database
I guess 1. (Desktop application) would be installed on all desktops ? Is there a web based thingy ?? For 2 and 3 I would require the DBA's to help me out.
Would anyone have a high level diagram of the things that go in for installation ? I would really appreciate if you could send it to kiranramachandra at yahoo dot com.
Thanks folks
Kiran

Hi,
1. No, you don't need to reinstall Discoverer, you can just connect to the new database provided you have updated the TNSNames.ora file. However, before you can connect with Discoverer Desktop you will need to use Discoverer Admin to create a new Apps mode EUL in the Applications Database.
2. You will need a client installation of Discoverer (Admin and Desktop). If you want to use the web based Discoverer Plus and Viewer tools you will need to a Oracle Application Server installation. If you are installing Discoverer 10g then you should install the Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition. But depending on your version and configuration you may need to install other tools.

Need a function name for Sql and Oracle

Retrieving value of next line by doing opteration in previous row.

Can you rephrase the question? Or better yet, provide an example? I'm not sure I understand what you are asking.
My best guess is that you are looking for the analytic functions LEAD or LAG in Oracle, assuming you are on a relatively recent Oracle version. If by "SQL and Oracle" in your subject you mean "SQL Server and Oracle" (SQL is a language that all relational databases implement, SQL Server is Microsoft's relational database), I have no idea how (or if) you can do something similar with a built-in function in SQL Server. You would want to post in a SQL Server group to see how they handle that sort of thing.
