Universal Adapter for CRM

Dear All,
I am involved in a case recently that need to use Universal Adapter for CRM Analytics to extract data from a 3rd-party CRM system.
The subject area is Consumer Sector - Performance. According to BI Apps Installation and Configuration Guide, I need to populate some source files, such as file_costlst_g.csv, file_dual_g and so on. However, I don't know what exactly data that the source files needed and the Installation and Configuration Guide doesn't supply enough information about the source files.
Can some one give me the help to find any detailed documents or other resources about Universal Adapter and the source files of Universal Adapter ?
Thanks very much!

The Source files for Universal Adapter are always CSV files ...These are used for customizations...
Now coming to the configuration files follow the Installation and Configuration guide ... the parameters are there ...most of them
Cheers

What is the universal adapter for?

Is it useful for the third parties data source?
What is it designed purpose for these adapter.
Thanks.

yeah normally you will read flat files with the universal adapters...
in the following directory you will find some examples of those flat files:
C:\OracleBI\dwrep\Informatica\Sample Universal Source Files
So you can build ETL to generate those flat files, of you can adjust the universal adapte to read directly from your source system.

Universal Labtop Adapter for MAC?

I found a post of an Universal Adapter for Labtops and I was wondering if there was one for MacBookPro? I saw one reply under the article i found which the user bought MAC plug adaptors to help the Universal adapter to make it work...
I'm just hoping there is one out there becuase replacing an apple adapter every year isn't ideal for students...>_<"..... and once a year if i'm lucky...

"Many reviews" does not tell the whole story. The millions of people who's adapters are working fine for years don't create a review stating that. The dozens or hundreds of people who have problems are more likely to complain - but still represent a _tiny fraction_ of users.
As I stated, my adapter has lasted over three years (about as long as MagSafe adapters have been around). The old barrel-type connectors we have still work fine, and some of those are more than 6 years old. Do keep in mind that proper unplugging is important - if you pull the cord out by the wire instead of the plug, you are adding unnecessary strain. For some devices (printers, routers, etc.), you almost never unplug them. For laptop power adapters, personally I connect and disconnect mine several times every day. If properly cared for, it should last for years. If it doesn't for some reason (other than intentional abuse), Apple will replace it for free, even if the warranty has expired. Not sure how much more you can ask for...

Universal Adapter with Home Audio Systems

I recently purchased the Universal Adapter for my Ipod in order to make it easier to connect and disconnect from my home audio system. Things work fine when the Audio cable is directly connected to the port in the Ipod, When I place the Ipod in the Universal dock and try to use the "line out" in the dock, either no sound or very muffled sound occurs. Anybody have any ideas?

It seems likely that it will .I am expecting it to

I recently purchased a universal dock for my iphone 3g. It works great. I just had one question. When my iphone is sitting on it for lets say 20 - 30 minutes. Then if i press the buttons on the remote. nothing happens! If I then press the home button while it is on the cradle then, the remote, it plays music. There after lets say if I stop stop the music through the remote and again press the remote button after a few minutes it starts playing. So what happens after a long time. Why do i have to press the home button on the iphone for the remote to work. Is that how it is supposed to work???

Universal Adapter- CRM load is failing

Hi friends,
Recently had a successful load for the following SA in my DAC
*) Human Resources.
*) Finance.
*) Supply Chain Mgmt.
*) Procurement and Spend.
*) Projects.
Since all the above SA are in the ORA_R1213 Adaptor. After the successful load im in the verge of performing Complete CRM load which is in the Universal Adaptor.
What i did is i added the complete CRM Subject Area to my existing ORA_R1213 Subject Area(nearly i had 23 subject areas for CRM). And generated the parameters for the subject areas of the following container(ORA_R1213 and Universal) in my subject area like the following.
Name:DB_Connection_OLAP-->Value: DataWarehouse-->SourceSystem: Universal
Name:DB_Connection_OLAP-->Value: DataWarehouse-->SourceSystem: Oracle R12.1.3
Name:DB_Connection_OLTP-->Value: ORA_R1213-->SourceSystem: Universal
Name:DB_Connection_OLTP-->Value: ORA_R1213-->SourceSystem: Oracle R12.1.3
Name:FlatFileConnection-->Value: ORA_R1213_Flatfile-->SourceSystem: Universal
Name:FlatFileConnection-->Value: ORA_R1213_Flatfile-->SourceSystem: Oracle R12.1.3
Name:PLP-->Value: PLP-->SourceSystem: Oracle R12.1.3
Name:PLP-->Value: PLP-->SourceSystem: Universal
Name:SDE_ORA_R1213 Adaptor-->Value: SDE_ORA_R1213 Adaptor-->SourceSystem: Oracle R12.1.3
Name:SDE Universal Adaptor-->Value: SDE Universal Adaptor-->SourceSystem: Universal
Name:SILOS-->Value: SILOS-->SourceSystem: Universal
Name:SILOS-->Value: SILOS-->SourceSystem: Oracle R12.1.3
Name:SIL_Vert-->Value: SIL_Vert-->SourceSystem: UniversalAs i have Relational connection in informatica Workflow manager for both source and target like
Source-->ORA_R1213
Target-->DataWarehouse
After generated parameters i builded it and performed a EP, in which my previous Subject Area will peform incr. load and my new CRM Subject Area will peform Full load in it. As a result i have total number of tasks like 1302, in that task only 200 is of successful task and remaining 1000 task is failing.
When i seen the reason for the failed task, i can see the failed task is from the following universal folder
Name:FlatFileConnection-->Value: ORA_R1213_Flatfile-->SourceSystem: Universal
Im not sure exactly what is the problem as i couldnt find any ORA error behind this Universal Container CRM Failed task.
Is am i missing anywhere else.
Thanks in advance.

Universal Adapter Bracket for M55 8808

I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre M55 8808 desktop, and its hard drive died about two months ago. Fortunately, I had access to an old HP laptop that had some other parts gone bad, but still had a good hard drive. The problem is that the laptop drive is a 3.5" inch drive, while the drive that went bad was a 5.25" drive, so I need an adapter. The parts manual available online for my PC lists the "Universal Adapter Bracket 5.25 to 3.5-inch (all models)", FRU# 32P4743 for this purpose. However, this part seems very scarce. I only saw it for sale online at one or two places I never heard of for $30 or more, which is more than I would like to pay for it.
Does anyone know of a place where this part can be obtained affordably or of a different part that might work? I tried getting a CMS Products Universal Mounting Kit from Staples, but had to return it because it wouldn't fit.
Thank you.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you.
We bought something similar to the 2nd item you linked to.
Since that item's Description included the statement:
**NOTE** This bracket is only for side mounted hard drives. **NOTE**
we felt more comfortable ordering a BYTECC BRACKET-25350 2.5" Mounting Bracket Universal Adaptor For 3.5" Hard Drive.
The eBay listing showed a picture of a 2.5" drive mounted in the bracket,
and the manufacturer's listing for it included the statement:
Universal Mounting screw holes for variety computer cases, rack mounted PC.
That bracket works.

Universal dock adapter for iPod classic

I am having problems obtaining a MA125G/B Universal Dock Adapter for my 160Gm iPod Classic. Now that all my music library is on the iPod, I am changing the "docks" from my car to my SUV to my home stereo system to a chargeable portable SONY docking station. I have only the one dock adapter #9 which came with the iPod. I live in Canada, and have had my Apple store try to locate a few additional adapters for me, but without success. I see that I can order one on line from Amazon.com, but when I go to purchase it, I am told that it can only be shipped within the US. Is there any retailer out there in Canada from whom I could purchase two or three of these universal adapters?

Actually, I'm not really replying to myself. I just want to confirm that the MA125 G/B universal dock adapter which I found on Amazon.com will be compatible with my 160GB iPod Classic? There is no picture shown with the adapter,and it says it is for an iPod Video 30GB. Is this adapter the one which has the number "9" stamped underneath the lip? I think I may be able to have it shipped to a friend in Fla.

Why no iPod w/Video 60GB Universal Dock Adapter for UK?

I've got a 60GB iPod with Video, which I use in two locations (home & work). As such, I have two universal docks.
While the 60GB iPod with Video came with a single universal dock adapter, I need another adapter for my other universal dock. Unfortunately, only the 30GB adapter is available for purchase on the Apple Store (UK version).
Anyone know why the 60GB adapter has slipped off the map in the UK? It's listed in the US store.
Alternatively, can anyone suggest a place that might sell them?

[I hate to do this.. but.. 'Bump..!']
So, has nobody else in the UK needed to buy a 60GB iPod w/Video Universal Dock Adapter?

Informatica - import data from line 6 in sample files in universal adapter

Hi ,
I am trying to extract data from R12 tables to sample CSV files provided by oracle in universal adapter CRM analytics.
As per oracle guidelines we are supposed to import data from line 6 as first five lines will be skipped during ETL process.
While importing the the target file in target designer ,I am entering 6 as value in the Lov box "Start import at Row".
Still Data is loaded from first line of the file and not 6 th line.
Please let me know more on how to achieve this requirement.
Thanks,
Chaitanya.

HI,
Please let me know the solution for this.It is very high priorirty for me now.
I want to extract data into sample files provided by oracle starting from 6 th line.
At present I am able to load from first line of the .csv file.
Thanks,
Chaitanya

Configuring OBI Apps 7.9.6.3 When Using Universal Adapter Exclusively

Hello experts,
I have been working for a few days in trying to configure a fiscal calendar with universal adapter flat files as the only data source because Great Plains is the data source and since Oracle does not support it, we use universal adapters. We have had limited success with this but in configuring OBI Apps 7.9.6.3 and doing normal configuration things such as configuring fiscal calendars and mapping GL accounts to group accounts using the Universal Adapter in DAC, there is virtually no documentation. In fact, when I Googled the universal adapter version of the group account codes file, there were 0 Google entries for it.
I am sending this new thread in the hope that someone out there has successfully configured OBI apps 7.9.6.3 using the Universal Adapter and can point me to documentation of any sort other than the normal Oracle OBI Apps Config Doc which only briefly mentions it and then takes file examples that are OOTB and unconfigured in any way.
Specifically, I need assistance in getting fiscal calendars working with the Universal Adapter. I have W_MCAL_DAY_D populated and all of the Gregorian calendar tables. However, the remaining W_MCAL* tables only have one row in each of them. I have an SR open about it but no success resolving it yet. While doing the configuration work, we tried to map GL accounts to group accounts but there is no account range in the Universal Adapter source file unlike the Oracle EBS version so I am unsure on how to configure group accounts. Oracle documentation only refers to Oracle EBS, PeopleSoft, and JDEdwards. I am unable to find anything regarding the Universal Adapter.
If anyone has done this sort of OBI apps configuration before, please respond or send me URLs for related documentation. I am completely stuck and SRs are not yet helping so I thought I would try this.
Thanks experts and looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Krish,
You will have to create 20 Application Roles matching the Responsibility Names.
Use one of the following methods to set up application roles:
Create application roles in the policy store with the same names as existing responsibilities or groups in the source applications. Then, add the new application roles as members of Oracle BI-specific application roles groups, and the users will inherit this membership based on their own responsibilities or roles in the OLTP application.
Add new Oracle BI-specific responsibilities (Oracle EBS and Siebel CRM Applications) or roles (PeopleSoft Enterprise applications) in the source applications, making sure their names match the object security application roles in Oracle BI Applications, and assign OLTP users to these new groups. The users will then inherit the application role membership in the same way as described in the preceding method.
Application Roles in 11g are the Groups of 10g (http://blogs.oracle.com/robreynolds/entry/security_in_obiee_11g_part_2)

More details about Universal Adapter.

Hi,
I would like to know what is the Universal Adapter, what is its role and when can we use them.
I am using OBIA 7.9.5. From the Installation and Configuration guide, I understand that the non-packaged data sources use the Universal Adapter. But I have not understood what does that mean in the right context.
Thanks.
Manoj.

The Universal Adapter is simple yet complicated.
Simple because all you need to do is generate a flat file (CSV) for the Staging Tables of the Application you wish to load. The documentation describes the structure of these files very well for CRM.
It is complicated because you must verify you have the right data and create a refresh schedule so the new or updated flat files are generated on the same schedule (or slightly before) as your Execution Plan.
I posted a thread on this topic, here is a link:
Re: Configuration of SAP application with OBI application 7.9.5

Parameter Filenames in Universal Adapter With Filenames In SrcFiles Dir

Hello Experts,
We are running DAC 10.1.3.4.1 and Informatica 9.0.1 HotFix2 and are in the process of trying to get an OOTB DAC Execution Plan to complete. We are able to build a plan but run into issues when running. We created a custom execution plan called TEST with one subject area (Financials - Cost of Goods Sold) and when the plan is built, 248 tasks are generated. Only 9 complete succcessfully.
When looking at the details of a specific workflow within the Informatica Workflow Manbager, i.e. SDE_Universal_ProjectDimension, we find that within the workflow properties, the Parameter Filename Attribute = $PMSourceFileDir\SDE_Universal_Adaptor.SDE_Universal_ProjectDimension.txt. On our file system, the file is named, $PMSessionLogFile=FLATFILECONNECTION.DBCONNECTION_OLAP.SDE_Universal_Adaptor.SDE_Universal_ProjectDimension.txt. The task fails because it cannot find the file. We believe the different filenames are the reason but are posting this thread because we cannot figure why or how to get the filenames properly synched.
So you know, we are using a data source that is not an Oracle supported data source, hence we are using DAC's Universal Adapter to bring in flatfiles, like the one above for instance.
Please help,
Thanks

Hello,
I don't think it was the source of your problem. It is always the case: DAC generates always SrcFiles with a name='Physical Data Sources Name'.'???'.'Informatica Folder Name'.'Mapping Name'
Where does your file FLATFILECONNECTION.DBCONNECTION_OLAP.SDE_Universal_Adaptor.SDE_Universal_ProjectDimension.txt created ?
Does this path equal to the DAC variable InformaticaParameterFileLocation declared in the DAC System Properties tab (menu Setup) ?
Hope it helps,
BLO
