Hi mates,
I am trying to connect with sybase from universe , I have sybase client 12 installed in my machine and I can able to ping to sybase server successfully.
But I am unable to access the sybase from universe connectiion.
I also tried with ODBC connection mean while creating DSN for sybase database .

Universe Connections for SAP BEx

Hi All,
We are planning to build couple of Universes over SAP BEx query.
Could anyone inform if we should go for creating a single connection and use it for all Universes (or) Create multiple connections.
Does having different connections for different Universes(though Data Warehouse-BW) is same helps in increasing report performance?
Thank you.
- AK

Hi,
It all depends on your requirement. There are few ways.
You can create one super universe on the top of your BW Query and then create your reports using your super universe.
Or you can create multiple universes and then create your reports.
Basically one universe one connection. SAP Universes are different then other universes where you create one connection.
In SAP environment one universe one connection.
Hope it helps.

10g Form Developer Quits on compiling Forms connected to Sybase tables.

Dear Experts,
We have configured the connectivity for Sybase database with our oracle 9i database. using Hetero Geneous Service i.e using System_dsn ..etc.
On this Sybase connectivity 6i Forms are compiling and running successfully But with 10g Forms while compling it just close the 10g form developer.
For example....!
In 6i forms On Button Press trigger below insert command works perfectly.
But In 10g forms it say nothing and Just Quit.
begin
insert into *"sybase_table"@SYBASE_DSN_DBLINK*
("colum1","colum2")
values
('value1','value2');
commit;
end;
Please help to resolve this problem.
Thanks
Eidy

Hello,
1.) does it with with the forms compiler (frmcmp)?
2.) did you try creating a synonym for your object:
create synonym my_syn for sybase_table@SYBASE_DSN_DBLINK;and use this synonym?
3.) Did you try it with the latest patchsets if you didn't apply them (10.1.2.3 for forms)?
4.) Did you try it with another database version (9i reached sustaining support btw. so you might try it with e.g. 10.2)?
5.) If everything fails you can put your logic in a database procedure and use that?
cheers

BW authorizations for universe connections

Hello experts,
Is it possible to use a universe without giving the user 0BI_ALL authorization? We want the same user to connect via BICS and universe and if we use 0BI_ALL for universe connections, the analysis authorizations for BICS doesn't work.
Any idea on how to have row security levels on both connections at same time?
We are using BW 7.0 and BO 4.0 SP5.
Many thanks in advance.

Hello David,
using BI Authorizations in BW and then adding data level security in the Universe on top of that will only lead to situations like you have now.
Data Level security goes into BW alone or into the Universe alone, mixing both will lead to issues and remember that the Universe has far less capabilities in this area.
0BI_ALL is only related to data level security, so the fact that you see the request for 0BI_ALL in the trace clearly shows that your defined data level security entries contradict each other somehow and that BW then requires 0BI_ALL for the user to give the data that was requested.
like I said above, not a good idea to mix those data level security concepts. all data level security should be in BW already.
Also - why even use the Universe inbetween ?

Crystal Reports for Enterprise and universe connections

Hi, I have noticed an issue with Crystal Reports for Enterprise that may give many administrators a headache.
If a BOBJ user has access to a sensitive universe (eg HR or Finance data) to run pre-built WebI reports from (but not create new ones or edit the universe) then they must have been give data-access to that universe's connection object. Security on the universe and folder could prevent them from accessing information from the universe they shouldn't see or editing the reports and creating new ones.
However if the same user is given access to Crystal Reports for Enterprise in order to access other data sources, then the fact that they have data-access to the above universe connection object now creates a security problem.
Crystal for Enterprise allows a user to open a universe connection object as a data-source. If the user opened the connection for the above 'sensitive' universe they could see all the data in the database - avoiding any universe level restrictions in the process.
What is the suggested way around this? There doesn't appear to be granular enough security to prevent users with data access on a connection object also using that object to create new reports in Crystal for Enterprise.
The only way around it I can see is to deny the user access to the sensitive universe output altogether, but this changes the whole business process for the team involved.
thanks
Keith

I have a couple of thoughts:
1. Create a special reporting user in the database that only has access to a set of views that don't include the sensitive information. Then create a universe based on those views which uses a connecting that logs in as that special user. Give the folks who don't have access to the sensitive data access to this connection and universe instead of the universe and connection that include the sensitive data.
2. Since you have BO, you should have a support contract. I would report this as a bug. However, SAP may tell you that it is "working as designed", in which case you could go to IdeaPlace (https://ideas.sap.com/) and add this as a requested enhancement.

DataDirect Connect JDBC for Sybase with 9i Reports

Hi,
I am trying to use DataDirect JDBC Driver for sybase with Oracle 9i Reports. I had included YMUtil.jar,YMBase.jar,YMsybase.jar and oc4j.jar in REPORTS_CLASSPATH registry and added entry in jdbc-pds config file as
<driver name = "iAS-Sybase"
subProtocol = "sybase"
connectString = "mainProtocol:subProtocol://databaseName"
class = "com.oracle.ias.jdbc.sybase.SybaseDriver"
connection = "oracle.reports.plugin.datasource.jdbcpds.JDBCConnectionHandling"
loginTimeout = "0">
<property name="SelectMethod" value="direct"/>
</driver>
With a JDBC query option, when I try to connect the database How should I specify
the database name, server name, port ??
I specified in the "Database column" of connect dialog box as
<ip address>:<port number>:<database name>, it throws an error saying
"ERR 62002 : Failed to connect to the datasource".
Let me know, should I specify the database detail
Thanks & Regards
Anand

Hello,
1: Download the latest Driver from : http://www.datadirect-technologies.com/download/downloadindex.asp.
2: Add following entry in config file :
<driver name = "sybase-merant"
subProtocol = "merant:sybase"
connectString = "mainProtocol:subProtocol://databaseName"
class = "com.merant.datadirect.jdbc.sybase.SybaseDriver"
connection =
"oracle.reports.plugin.datasource.jdbcpds.JDBCConnectionHandling"
loginTimeout = "0">
</driver>
Connection information :scott/tiger@sybase2:4000
UserName : scott
Password : tiger
Database : sybase2:4000
HostName : sybase2
Port : 4000

What is the database string used in the connection box for sybase-merant?

I am using report wizard of Reports Developer 9 to create report for Sybase database. Assume the Sybase database uses the following setting:
user: sa
password: password
computer IP address: 10.0.187.30
computer host name: development
port number: 2468
database name: TEST01
If I use sybase-merant (JDBC Query) as the data connection, I need to input USERNAME, PASSWORD and DATABASE at the Connection Box. What should I input for the DATABASE? I have inputted "sa" as the USERNAME and "password" as the PASSWORD. When I inputted "10.0.187.30:2468:TEST01" as the DATABASE, I got error which indicated the data source cannot be connected. I have also tried "10.0.187.30,2468:TEST01", "10.0.187.30:2468", "10.0.187.30,2468" and "10.0.187.30", but none of them worked.
Thank you.

Hello,
If you go through the link, mentioned above, an entry is needed to register a JDBC-Driver for your database(sybase).
Driver entry contains a attibute "connectString", which contain the
connection syntax to the datbase.
connectString = "mainProtocol:subProtocol://databaseName"
mainProtocol and subProtocol part of the connection String are defined in config file and "databaseName" has to be mentioned in JDBC Query Connection Diloag.
Sample databasename : database:portnumber
Here database refer to the sybase database user want to connect and portnumber : port on which its running(it will be normally 4100 or 5000).
Please refer the comments in file ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf/JDBCPDS.CONF for more detail.
With Regards
Reports team.

Windows AD connection for a BO Universe.

Hiu2026
I am new to the Universe Designer and CMC interface.
My question is this:
Can I establish a database connection, for a universe, to a MS-SQL 2008 server using either ODBC or OLE DB that uses Windows authenticated account and not a SQL Server authenticated login ID/Password?
When I create a ODBC / OLEDB integrated security on the BO server and test the universe connection, the user that is currently using the Universe is the account that is being passed to the MSSQL 2008 database, for authentication. I cannot use that pass-through connection. I need to use a dedicated service AD account to be the connection between our Universe an our MSSQL 2008 database.
I haven't read any on-line information that explains how to connect a universe to a data source, using a domain AD account. If someone can point me to some on-line documentation, I would appreciate it. And the BO server version that is being used: 3.1.
Thanksu2026

Automatic way to change the connection for Multiple universes

We recently migrated the BO objects like universes and connections from 3.1 QA to 4.1 Dev.
But now we want to point all our universe connections of 4.1 Dev system to the BW Dev system instead of BW QA.
Is there any automated way of doing it ?
Thanks,

Data Federator data source not available causes Universe Connection error

I created a Data Federator project that connects to 20 servers across US and Canada. All data sources are SQL Server 2005. The DF project maps 40 source objects into 4 target objects. I created a universe based on the DF project and we have been quite pleased with Webi query response. Today one of the source servers was taken off line and this generated a connection error when trying to access the universe (not trying to access the data source that failed). We do not want the universe connection to error when one source server is not available u2013 is that possible?
If the answer is no then I see us abandoning what appears to be a great solution for real time distributed reporting and resorting to ETL and moving data.

Hi Chapman,
Can you be little elobrate on what you have done to solve the issue.

Unable to use SSO with universe connection on top of SAP BW query

Hi,
We're creating a universe on top of a SAP BW query by using universe designer.
We logon to universe designer by using SAP credential.
When creating the connection, we set the option "Use Single Sign On when refreshing reports at view time" in order to logon to BW server. But when clicking next, an error arises:
"DBD: Unable to connect to SAP BW server Incomplete logon data"
The strange thing on this is that there is one laptop which is able to set up this kind of connection, while all other workstations are not able to set it because they recieve that error (we all work against the same BO server). So this looks like an installation issue.
We reinstalled SAP Integration Solutions on those workstations, but problem is still the same.
I found thread: Universe Connection Authentication on SAP BW which talks about the same issue, but solution involves uninstalling Xcelsius. But we do need Xcelsius!
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
David.

Error when refreshing WEBI report with Universe Connection Type "SSO"

Hi Experts:
We are trying to refresh the Webi report in Infoview with Universe Connection set as "Use Single Sign On when refreshing the report at view time", so that we can leverage SAP OLAP authorization variable from Bex Query which the Universe is built on.
However got the error of "incomplete logon data" after all the configurations done following below blogs:
SNC Part 1
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2009/07/03/businessobjects-enterprise-and-client-side-snc-part-1-of-2
SNC Part 2
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2009/07/03/businessobjects-enterprise-and-client-side-snc-part-2-of-2
We already have Win AD SSO to SAP setup, and in BO CMC, Win AD user is mapped to SAP user ID.
The SNC settings are:
- AD Account: service.test.bobj (all lower-letters)
- 32-bit gsslib on the BO server, and 64 bit on the BW server side.
- SNC0: p:service.test.bobj at DOMAIN
- SU01 --> BO_Service ; SNC: p:service.test.bobj at DOMAIN
- Entitlement system tab --> username: BO_Service
SNC Name: p:service.test.bobj at DOMAIN
- SNC settings tab:
SNC Lib: c:\winnt\gsskrb5.dll
Mutual Authentication settings: p:SAPServiceBP0 at DOMAIN
In CMC, the role can be imported if "RFC activated" option unchecked in SNC0.
I found a few threads on the same topic, but they are all not answered:
SNC Client side configuration error
SNC Configuration Error: Incomplete logon Data
Can you please provide details of the solution if you have impleted a same scenario successsfully, or any thoughts to help the investigation?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Ingo,
Sorry for taking so long to reply, we are trying to set up server side trust and enable SSO; but we still couldn't success.
What we did is:
1. We followed installation guide chapter 6, generate certificate and PSE, etc. All looks good.
2. Then we still have the "incomplete logon data" error when refreshing webi report after logon using Windows AD user ID.
3. Then we trace the PFC connection, the log is as below. We checked several BO notes, e.g. 1500150, 1461247.. The part bothers us is that we even don't have URI displayed in the log when system trying to use SNC, and we couldn't get more info on this which make us very difficult to diagnosis.
Can you please help? Thanks a lot!

Getting error while invoking relational physical DS for sybase stored proc

*com.bea.dsp.das.exception.DASException: com.bea.dsp.wrappers.rdb.exceptions.RDBWrapperException: {bea-err}RDBW0004: Error executing SQL query: [BEA][Sybase JDBC Driver][Sybase]SELECT INTO command not allowed within multi-statement transaction+.*
I have created a physical DS function using "relational" in the wizard and connecting to sybase ASE stored procedure that is in unchained mode. I had configured the JDBC pool using BEA sybase non-XA 12.x driver.
When i run the physical DS (or logical DS), i get the above error. The sybase srever(and stored proc) is hosted by an external system and right now i do not have access/contacts to change anything.
After hours spent googling, it appears that the fix may possibly be setting "set chained off" before calling the stored proc. To achieve that, i tried the below two methods but nothing seems to work:
- In the JDBC URL, set property via ?chained=off (also tried false instead of "off")
- In Admin console/JDBC connection pool configuration/initSQL tried "SQL SET CHAINED OFF" and "SET CHAINED OFF"
My ODSI version is 10gR3
Oracle Workshop for WebLogic
Version: 10.3
Build id: 1137967
I tried using java physical DS and get the same error. I wrote a test stored proc in my local PC sybase ASE and it runs fine. But i connected as "sa".
I would like to exhaust all possible options from my side before making the long process of getting something changed in the external sybase DB like setting the proc mode to "anymode".
Please help.
Thank you.

Can you get jdbc code that successfully calls the stored proc using the datasource?Yes, my colleague was trying the jdbc code and i was trying in the workshop with relational. She has left for the day so will post tomorrow. Please note that this is only for the test stored proc. The java jdbc also gets the same error for the "real" stored proc.

BTW - if you used "SET CHAINED OFF" as initSql, unless you have a table named SET, the sql will fail and the datasource will not be created. So that casts some doubt on whether the other setting "SQL SET CHAINED OFF" was applied.
Also - the connections are reset to default when they are returned to the connection pool, so I think "SQL SET CHAINED OFF" should be used as the "Test Table Name" and Test On Reserve should be checked.Tried it now, but it does not work. I'm getting the same error.
test stored proc:
create procedure dbo.getCustomerMulti @cid_inp varchar(40)
as
begin
select dbo.Customer.FirstName, dbo.Customer.cid, dbo.Customer.LastName, dbo.Customer.DateCreated, dbo.Customer.id into #temp from dbo.Customer
select dbo.Customer.FirstName, dbo.Customer.cid, dbo.Customer.LastName, dbo.Customer.DateCreated, dbo.Customer.id from dbo.Customer where cid LIKE @cid_inp + '%'
end
Thank you.
