Understanding OBIA Architecture

Can somebody tell me how to start understanding BI APPS? I mean, as a technology,I know informatica, obiee & DAC Individually. But I'd like to understand how they work collectively.
Can somebody help me on this?

BI Apps is a complete set of Package with all tools. Oraganisations will buy the related BI Applications based on thier Domain. Eg: Retail domain Organisation will buy the license of BI Retail Apps, lly for Consumer Goods, Financial Applications of BI. Based on your Source ERP system (EBS, Siebel CRM, JD Edwards, SAP, People Soft) Architects/ BI consultants will decide which l icense of BI apps have to buy and implement for Organisational & Business Needs. BI Apps contains all predefined ETL mappings, configured RPDs so that you have to configure on your own based your business requirements.
Please Mark it as Correct (or) Helpfull if it clears you.

Need information in understanding OBIA ETL Workflows

Hi All,
I installed and configured OBIA on the OBIEE environment. I also got DAC installed and configured. When I opened the ETL workflows I seel almost eveyr workflow has a duplicate workflow name with suffix full. I don't know why this is being used. If I see the DAC execution path I don't see these workflows being called. If they are not called then what is the purpose of these full workflows. Can somebody provide me some overview on these workflows or share any document which would give info on the same..
Appreciate your quick response.

Hi,
In OBIA, almost for every mapping there will be 2 workflows i.e.., one is for full load and other is for incremental load. When you run the loads depending upon the type of load the dac will automatically choose whether to run the task with incremental workflow or _full workflow.
The tasks with full denotes that it is used while running the full load and the other task with no full will indicate that it is used for incremental load.
In DAC, you can see these both workflows in Design > Tasks and select any one task and in the lower pane go to Edit tab. In Edit tab, there will be a Command for Incremental load and Command for full load and you will find the both the workflow names within these fields. The taks with _full will be in Command for full load and the other will be in Command for incremental load.
Hope this helps...........
Thanks,

How does ABAP webdynpro architecture works......

Hi experts,
I am new to Abap webdynpro and i have a task to finish.
Basically i gone through many documents on WDA, but was able to understand very little.
I have following questions --
1. When u create component, what is the use of component controller?
2.. What exactly context and context node difference? Do we need to create an attribute(input box, button etc), under one context?
3. How can i read the date entered by user? where to read? If i want to read a particular iinput box data and save it to database table, how and where it has to be done?
4. How can i read the table data, complete table of UI?
5. What is an interface controller/component?
I still have lot of doubts about understanding MVC architecture, but I am so so sorry as I have little scope OO abap, so fining difficult to understand.
Kindly if someone explain me I would be greatfully thankfull to you.
Thanks in advance,
Niraja.

Hi Niraja,
I am replying to your questions 1 by 1.
+When u create component, what is the use of component controller?
+
Ans A component controller contains the context,attributes, methods etc for a component. No component can exist without this.Even a view has its own controller having same contents.
All the tabs which you see after clicking on COMPONENT CONTROLLER constitute the controller.
What exactly context and context node difference? Do we need to create an attribute(input box, button etc), under one context?
Ans: Context itself is a context node, but the only difference is that its the root and has unchangeable properties.It has a fixed cardinality of 1..1 where as a node can have different properties.
All nodes and attributes for different UIs are created in the context only.
How can i read the date entered by user? where to read? If i want to read a particular iinput box data and save it to database table, how and where it has to be done?
Ans: Data can be read in form of nodes and attributes. Every UI element for example an Input field will be bound to a attribute.
You can read these values by code ( use CODE WIZARD).
You can code in any methods given under method tabs.
You can create your own methods like event handlers for buttons and different events. You can write all your queries in these methods
+How can i read the table data, complete table of UI?
+
Ans: If u mean by reading the whole node data, I would suggest you to use code wizard and understand the code.
5. What is an interface controller/component?
Ans: If you want to share your component and make it available for use in other components you define your make your methods and context visible in this controller .
Please see the link below for whole Web Dynpro ABAP help.

Hyperion - best practice architecture

we are planning to use the hyperion 11x (HFM and Planning and Financial Reports) and would like to know the best practice architecture and the oracle doucment id on this.
any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

If you want to understand the architecture recommended by Oracle then have a look at the standard deployment guide at - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/nav/portal_1.htm
If you don't want to go down the recommended route then I suggest getting in a consultant to discuss your possible options.

I want to learn the architecture of JMS

Hi
I'm doing a school project and I have to understand the architecture of JMS. Can someone explain it as simple as possible, as if I were a 10 year old.
1.) I want to know what the topics destination is...is it a class? what does it do?
2.) Topic factory...what it is...what it do...
3.) The session...when is it created...when a user log on?
Can someone explain the whole architecture i would be very grateful
Thanx in advance

1. Create a topic connection factory
This would be more aptly said, "GET a connection factory." As YOU don't create one. Instead, you typically look it up in JNDI like so:
Context context = new IntialContext();
ConnectionFactory factory = (ConnectionFactory)context.lookup("ConnnectionFactory");
The reason you do this is becuase ConnectionFactories are considered "Administered objects." This means that they are configured on the server by and administrator. They encapsulates provider specific settings that generally relate to the creation of connections like what protocol to use, what port, what the server IP address is, etc. When an administrator creates a ConnectionFactory it is bound to the JNDI tree.
2. create topic (destination) (What is this...whats the use of it?)
Like a ConnectionFactory, a destination is an administered object. So your question is more aptly termed "GET" a destination. Administrators create and configure destinations on the server and the JMS client looks them up just like it does the ConnectionFactory. See the example above. Like a ConnectionFactory, the administrator configures the destination with provider specific information--perhaps security, etc. It too is bound to the JNDI tree.
3. uses topic connection factory object to create connection object
A Connection represents a physical connection between the client and the server. When you call createConnection on the ConnectionFactory the provider is opening a connection to the server using the provider specific information configured in the ConnectionFactory. Connections are heavy weight objects because they are typically backed by Sockets.
4. uses topic connection objectto create topic session object
A Session object plays the central roll in JMS--it defines a serial inbound and outbound flow of messages (possibly to/from multiple destinations), and also maintains the transactional boundaries. This means that you can have several different Consumers and several different Producers and messages can be sent and received and then committed or rolled back as a transactional unit. If you rollback the transacted session, all received messages will be negatively acknowledged (causing their redelivery) and all sent messages will be destroyed (which will cause them never to be delivered to thier intended destination). A Session is also a factory for creating messages.
5. creates topic publisher or topic subscriber using session object
You use the Session as a factory for creating Consumers or Producers. As their name implies, they either producer or consume messages. The Producer only exposes a few methods which all just send messages. The Consumer, however, exposes both asynch and synch operations. If you register a MessageListener with the Consumer, then you are requesting notification from the Server. When the server wants to deliver a Message to you, it will call the OnMessage method of your implementation of MessageListener. If you want to simply block for messages in a synch fashion then you use the Receive methods.
6. starts the connection
Starting the Connection is only necessary when you are dealing with Consumers. You can send Messages on a stopped Connection. What the start method is really for is to provide the client a mechanism for telling the Connection when it is ready for message delivery to start. If the provider just started delivery as soon as your Connection was created, then you'd start receiving messages before you had your Session and Consumers setup properly.
7. Publishes or subsscribes to messages
Again, if you are only publishing (producing) you don't need to do number 6 before you do number 7. If you are subscribing (consuming) you do.
8. Close the session and the connection
When you close the Connection it will close all of the Session it created. The spec requires that the Session be shut down cleanly. An interesting thing about closing a Session is that even though you use a Session as a factory for creating (and I mean creating this time) Temporary Destinations, the lifecycle of these Destinations is NOT tied to the Session which created them. Instead, their lifecycle is tied to the Connection on which the Session was tied. That means that you can close a Session and the TemporaryDestination will not be destroyed. This is just a little oddity in my mind...

Understanding XML file handling in ODI

Hi People,
I've just completed a simple Interface to upload an XML file into an Oracle 10g database table. The interface copes well with both inserts and updates, so I'm very pleased about that. ;)
This exercise has raised some questions though. I tried an experiment, which involved changing an element value in the XML file. I wanted to see if this change would be reflected in the file's associated Source Table in ODI. Unfortunately, it wasn't; despite me clicking the REFRESH button about 4 times. I guess my first question is:
*1. How can I ensure a change to an element value in the XML file is reflected in ODI, after reverse engineering the associated data store from the file? Is this possible?*
Moving on, I'm trying to understand the architecture ODI creates in the background, in order to support a source datasource/table that represents the XML file. I have created the following Topology to support the file:
!http://img2.imageshack.us/img2/6895/odiscr375.jpg!
As you can see, I've associated the XML file with a physical schema called ODI_XML. This represents a schema owned by my Oracle Database.
Now, when I check the XML file data in ODI Designer, I notice that it's based on this query:
select * from ODI_XML.TRADE
I've checked the ODI_XML database schema, and there is neither a table nor any other objects named TRADE. My next question is therefore:
*2. Was I correct to assign a database schema (named ODI_XML) to my XML Data Server, or should this have been something else? If so, what?*
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
James

Since you are using the Variable ,when you right click and view datastore its missing the required path of the file, as value of the variable is not determined , to do so you need to either refresh or set the variable and call the interface or other ODI objects and in loop keep reading XML files one by one and that should work.

Exadata Architecture & I/O monitor tool - ExadataViewer

Hi Experts,
During the work, I got some knowledge and experiences about Exadata. And I found that we really need a tool to monitor Exadata performance and workflow, such as smart scan offload processing statistics and I/O dataflow path in Exadata. So, I developed ExadataViewer in my free time after work.
ExadataViewer is a Exadata performance monitoring tool. ExadataViewer can help you to understand Exadata architecture and observe smart scan offload statistics and physical I/O dataflow in a graphical view.
I hope this little tool useful to you. You can download it from http://www.exadataviewer.com

Some questions about WLC 2504 architecture.

Good Morning,
I am in the process of implementing a 2504 with 14 LWAP's... The LWAP's are 1252 and 1262's but this should not matter in reference to my questions.
Right now i have a test WLAN and Interface set up.
XXXXWIRLESS2 and the same for the interface.
Both of these are set up on VLAN 8 for test purposes. My question revolves around the actually switching and routing of the information between the AP's and the controller.
I understand that cisco moved to FlexConnect in replacement of HREAP. Why is this not a default? it seems to me that the Gig port on the WLC would be a bottleneck for you if all traffic comes back over the CAPWAP tunnel. Maybe i am not understanding the architecture of the device, but what positive benefit does this serve by sending all traffic back to the WLC instead of out the switches/router to its intended destination?
I am under the impression that FlexConnect should do all local switching, instead of sending traffic back over the CAPWAP tunnel. To me this makes more sense and eliminates bottlenecks in the network.
Hopefully someone can enlighten me.
Thank you,

"Local" mode is the default mode for all the WLC, as the 5508 and WiSM2 have the ability to have greater than 1G connectivity to the LAN. This is also partially a holdover from the Airespace days when all of the AP's actually directly connected to the WLC.
Now for the 2504, I agree that if you have more than ~5 AP you should run in FlexConnect mode, especially if you have a lot of clients that are capapble of 'N' rates. But it is not necessarily the way that all implementations will go.
but again, that is IMHO.
HTH,
Steve

For basic understanding of xi

Hi,
Can some one suggest good website/books/study material for understanding the basics of sap xi.
thanks
balaji

Hi,
The best way to learn XI as you know would be to make the maximum use of XI from its forums, weblogs, presentations, etc in SDN.
First I thought I will just give u the basic steps involved in doing any scenario in XI. This is very essential for a beginner.
First of all you would need to define your product, software component, business system and configure the technical landscape in the sld.
You then go on to create the objects in the repository, you import your software component here and then begin your design steps. To import your RFCs n Idocs if you require any before proceeding.
Then under the name space which you want, you go on to define your data types, message types and message interfaces.
Then you do your message mappings where you specify your source and target message types and the relation between them, then you do your interface mapping. If you are using a BPM, you do the integration process.
Once you have this done, you will have to move to the directory, here is where you define how you use the objects and how you configure them to work as a scenario.
You assign your business system to the configuration scenario which you have created, and create the communication channels. Then you go on to configure the receiver determination, interface determination, and the sender and receiver agreements. Once youre done you will have make sure you activate your objects. The exact parameters steps depend on what kind of scenario you are implementing.
You can use sxmb moni or the runtime workbench to monitor the entire scenario which you have done.
Also I would suggest this link on SAP help for any info that you want on XI,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Further, this thread deals with everything that is needed for a starter on XI. Do check them out,
JDBC Receiver: exact SQL statement

Once you go through these links and are a bit aware what all XI objects do, you can try a simple "File to File Scenario" which would help you to understand XI objects in a much better manner.
For help on this scenario go through this blog it is in two parts thus I am providing both links below:

For XI in General:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
Now lets see the installation of SAP XI,
Follow these steps while installing XI:
1. Windows server or advanced server with latest service patch.
2. IE 6.0 with latest service patch
3. Install Microsoft office and winzip, acrobat
4. Install JDK with version 1.4.2_03 or above with the corresponding JVM
5. Install the SAP GUI 6.20
6. Make sure that you have hard disk space of 10 GB in C drive and 50 GB in the installation drive.
7. Make sure the virtual memory is between 512 and 1594 or above for the installation drive.
8. Copy the dumps of following DVDs into the installation drive.
Installation Master DVD
Installation Export
Additonal Components for SAP BW/SAP XI,SAP MI,SAP KW
SAP Web As Java
9. Start the installation from the DVD dump Installation Master DVD.
10. When installing the ABAP Database the SID of the oracle default database should be different the ABAP database SID.
U can go through the Installtion Guides for Installing XI from http://service.sap.com/instguides (SR1 installation)
u can also refer to service.sap.com/platforms to see the available platform on which XI can be installed. ( Windows/linux/UNIX)
or you can even go through this weblog which clearly talks to you about XI installation
XI installation
In addition to this installation guide you also need to download the XI configuration guide which is very useful for technical configurations of various adapters and XI system.
At the same place you will also get the XI configuration guide e.g XI30ConfigGuideSPS11.pdf.
U can also download SAP Exchange Infrastructure 3.0 SR1 Installtion Guide from the articles scetion.
In simple words regarding learning XI, there is an abundance of information on SDN and help.sap.com. So I think it will be better for you to search information there rather than me just providing you links.which will just go on and on and on.so I felt it is better for you to go and search so that not only you get information on SAP XI but also explore SDN in its real sense.

New to OBIEE- Questions on OBIEE infrastructure..

Hi Gurus/Experts,
I am very very new OBIEE technology. Our company decided to change the technology to OBIEE. So, We are in process of understanding the architecture and infrastructure for the same.
I have couple of questions:
-the BI web server is the piece that has to run on Windows or It can run any machine?
-can the BI server and the BI scheduler server run in the same physical server (AIX) ?
Please let me if you are not clear on my questions.
It would be really great help..
Warm regards,
Ganesh Krishna.

-the BI web server is the piece that has to run on Windows or It can run any machine?Yes, OBIEE installers are available in different flavors like windows, LINUX, Solaris etc. You can have your BI web server (SAW) on any of the supported envn. Its not mandate to have it just on windows..
-can the BI server and the BI scheduler server run in the same physical server (AIX) ? Yes, both can run on same server. This is general practice..
Refer OBIEE documentation here..

Hope this clears your doubt.

How to bypass from OAM authentication for certain domain

Hi All,
We are trying to unprotect certain domain from OAM domain but coudn't. Please help us fix this issue.
Environement details:
We have two nodes, one node for OAM_OSSO and another one for OSSO_Portal application.
OAM server details:
In this server, oracle application server single sign on(services are HTTP, OC4J, and OID) and OAM. Integrated OAM_OSSO using [ID 979827.1]
Portal server details:
In this server, oracle application server single sign on(services are HTTP, OC4J, and OID) and portal weblogic server(portal application) is running. portal weblogic is registered with thier own portal OSSO.
In OAM, We protected following portal url's
/sso/auth
/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login
portal _OAM integration is working fine.
Now portal team come with new requirement for customer, application also running in their same portal weblogic server and that portal application domain is alreday registered with Portal OSSO and Portal OSSO page is protected by OAM. the requirement is bypass OAM authentication, and need to authentication against their own portal OSSO+OID.
Please tell me how to bypass OAM authentication from this scenerio.
-Sarath

Hi MD,
Thanks for your update.
We are using oracle 10g. Please tell me how Anonymous scheme will help us to get out from this issue.
Portal Weblogic server registered with portal IDM server and portal IDM server OSSO protected by IDM OAM. So if i tried any of the application which deployed under portal weblogic server will get protected by OAM right. Please correct me if iam wrong.
In this scenerio we have two OSSO, one in OAM node and another one in portal server. Now portal team come up with new webserver domain for customer, in customer scenerio we want authenticate againt portal OSSO with their own OID rather than using OAM authentication. Here my concern is, customer or employee the portal weblogic server and portal OSSO are common for both user but only difference in webserver domain.
So if i tried to access customer application, then customer webserver redirect to portal weblogic for open the requested page(note if webgate not in picture). portal weblogic server is register with portal OSSO and its redirect to portal OSSO for authentication but Portal OSSO server integrated with OAM using webgate.
1. When tried to access customer application ,Portal OSSO server tried to show own sso login page for authentication but Portal OSSO server already integrated with OAM. so portal OSSO server requested to OAM to access portal sso login page not the request of customer page login.
2. here,portal OSSO login page protected and OAM serve login page for OAM authentication against OAM OID. If i specify anonymous scheme for customer domain then how will work here, portal OSSO requested to OAM to access portal OSSO login page not the customer page or employee page...
Here OAM authentication will come into picture for all scenario but need bypass for customer login.
Requirement is when customer trying to access then authentication need to happen in portal OSSO not in OAM. Hope you understand the architecture.Please suggest how.
