Use of an Oracle Hint for a WebI-Universe BEX based-Query ?

Hi,
can I use an Oracle Optimizer Hint like /*+ PARALLEL(MyFacttable, 8) */
for a WebI- ./. Universe- ./. BEX based-Query ?
Is this possible ?
If Yes: How and where to implement this ?
Thank You !
Martin

Hi,
BusinessObjects only communictates with the MDX Interface by way of SAP's OLAP BAPI over RFC.
Everything else, OLAP engine, Data Manager, etc etc Cube abstraction over a Relational schema is handled by the BW application.
so No, BO can't "inject" any cleverness into BW processing architecture.

Oracle Help for the Web 2.0 Production

Oracle Help for the Web 2.0 is now available on OTN Downloads.
Oracle Help for the Web (OHW) 2.0 is a major update to the previous releases OHW 1.1x and OHW 1.0.x, and is designed and recommended to replace both.
Some of the new features in 2.0 include the following:
Support for Bookmarking Navigator Pages
OHW 2.0 no longer uses frames to store navigational state on the webpage. Each navigator stores its complete state on the URL, allowing each page to be bookmarked. This includes TOC locations, keyword locations, and search runs. In the view topic page, the frame information is also saved, allowing a user to forward the link via email, etc to the displayed topic. In addition, if you navigate to a named anchor within a topic page, this page position is also saved and is bookmarkable.
Multiple Locale Support in a Single Instance
OHW 2.0 can now support multiple locales in the same servlet instance. After you register the helpsets in the OHW configuration file, the OHW servlet will automatically determine the best locale to use for a user request (based on browser settings and what locales are available), and display the localized helpset (along with a localized OHW chrome) to the user. This feature also means that if you navigate to a topic in English, and then send the link via email to a user whose browser supports Japanese, if the Japanese helpset is registered, the topic link will appear in Japanese to the second user.
Search Engine Support
OHW has been specially designed so that search engine crawlers can reach all hosted content (including table of contents, and index pages) and easily traverse within and between the available navigators. Page titles have also been redesigned to make pages easier to locate from within a search engine result set.
Ability to Share Resources Across Localized Helpsets
OHW can be configured so that helpsets can share resources such as images and CSS stylesheets. Since each localized helpset no longer needs its own resources, this can dramatically reduce the size of the deployed file.
Relative Content Locations
Content locations can now be specified relative to the OHW configuration file.
True Popup Support
OHW now properly supports Oracle Help popup links. Following this link will bring up a dynamic draggable DHTML window (or a normal popup window if the browser does not support it) with the requested topic page.
All Level Merging in the Table of Contents
Using the default TOC engines, each level of the TOC will merge like elements together. This change reflects modifications made to core Oracle Help classes and mimics the feature added to Oracle Help for Java (OHJ).
New Tree-based Table of Contents Navigator
The Tree-based TOC navigator shows the data in a heirarchical fashion and allows the user to see the full TOC (and not just a limited part of the TOC, as with previous versions of OHW). The tree-based TOC navigator is a standard navigator and can be added by including it in the helpset configuration file.

Yes, I am now able to access this page and download OHW.
Thanks very much,
Lucie

Possible to use ServiceCenter's Oracle database for Content Management?

Hi,
I have a quick question, and I would really appreciate if any of you have a quick answer for me.
My company is sourcing for a Content Management option as a complement to the object information that can be stored in ServiceCenter's CMDB. We are working towards a complete information storage solution, where the CMDB is the obvious master for all object information.
Our ServiceCenter/CMDB solution is run on an Oracle database. We have an interest in possibly using an Oracle Content Management solution on top of the existing Oracle database.
A question was raised if the Content Management solution can use ServiceCenter's Oracle database for storing documents, ie act as a Content Management database?
The documents need to be fully searchable from Oracle's Content Management product. The solution should support storage of a large amount of data and documents and be scalable. It is critical that this in no way lower ServiceCenter's performance.
Please bear in mind that I'm not a technician, but involved in the portal/Content Management aspect of the project. I'm also responsible for the user environment of our ServiceCenter-implementation.
Best regards

Hi Harsha,
Are you going to use the same ERP server for Content server as well? Are you planning to store the documents of this ECC system to the content server only?
If yes, what is the use of that, Anyways all the documents will be stored on this server only for this ECC system. Please go through the link given by Mr Saxena above, that will give you a clear picture of how the content server works.
You can install content server with Max DB although you already have oracle installed on your linux server.
I would suggest you to check the stuff about content server and get your concepts cleared up before going ahead. if you are not clear, you may end up crashing your existing ERP system as well.

Can I Specify an Oracle Hint for a Query

We are BW 3.1 Oracle 9.2. We have a few InfoCube queries that would perform better if a full table scan on the fact table was done rather than using the system generated Star Transformation hint.
When use RSRT or other entry points to see the SQL and the Explain plan, I have the option of putting in an Oracle hint and generating another Explain Plan.
Is there any way to save the query with a different Oracle hint than the Star Transformation hint?

Klaus -
Thanks for responding.
It is only a handful of queries that this is an issue with. Overall, we are certainly better off using the star transformation.
Do you know the reasoning behind letting you specify a hint when running a query through RSRV if you can never actually specify those hints for actual production execution? Is the ability to add a hint anything that we might see in the future?
In looking into this a little more, I looked at an explain plan for a query on one of our transactional InfoCubes. We are Oracle 9.2, and transactional Infocubes have B-tree indices rather than bitmap on the F fact table. Presumably to better support the input of transactions. I see in the explain plan that with the star transformation, the btree indices are converted to bitmap, then a bitmap merge, then the result of that is converted back to a btree index to read the F fact table. Without the star transformation, the query cost is half, so the ability to suppress the star transformation on F fact queries on transactional cubes would also be nice.
At another job, I used to use Brio to query a data warehouse and although Brio didn't have facility to specify a hint, you could define a calculated field in the query and actually enter the hint text as the calculation and as long as that field was the first to follow the Select stmt, it was recognized as an Oracle hint. Maybe there could be some way to sneak a hint into the query. It's not something you would want every query developer doing, but as long as someone knew when it was appropriate to override/surpress star transformation, it would be nice to be able to do.

Can I use the same Oracle Repository for the new FDM App

Hi All,
I have to uninstall FDM and install and re-configure FDM again and then restore FDM Apps present previously.
For this, Can I resue the same Oracle Repository for restoring the FDM app on newly installed instance.
As far as I know, I need to take the backup of that repository and then drop the Repository and create again and use it for new application
Please suggest, are there any other ways to do this/..
thanks in advance
J

You can reuse the repository. You will need to <Add Application> instead of <New Application>

Using APEX as SSO redirect for existing web application

Hi,
I have an existing PHP based Web Application hosted on an Apache server. I want to protect these web pages by authenticating users via Oracle SSO.
I tested this by creating a simple APEX web page with redirect <Meta> tag to route traffic to my application upon successful SSO login. This works fine if request comes directly to APEX page....
So my question is how do I protect php pages from being directly accessed and still be able to get sso user login information (like username) coming from APEX page?
Do I still need to set up mod_sso.so in osso.conf for my Apache Server or should I just register my php web application as partner application with SSO server without going through APEX?
Any advice on this is greatly appreciate.
Thanks,
james

Tony,
Sorry for taking so long to respond as I got side tracked with other tasks.
Thank you so much for the link. The provided link is very helpful.
One difference in my situation is that I am using a generic Apache installation (version 2.2.11) and not Oracle Apache Server from OAS.
So I copied mod_osso.so from OAS 10.1.3.1.0 installation to my generic Apache location. As I tried to startup Apache instance I got following error while loading mod_osso.so.
... Cannot load /apache-2.2.11/modules/mod_osso.so into server: /apache-2.2.11/modules/mod_osso.so: undefined symbol: ap_configtestonly
I did some search and found that other folks are reporting success of using mod_osso.so on generic Apache (without saying which version of Apache). I wonder if mod_osso.so can only work with older version of Apache?
Do you have insights on this by any chance?
Thanks again,
James

How to use two different ojdbc14.jar for two web application.

Hi,
I have two web application running in same tomcat, I need to use the two different ojdbc14.jar for two application, now both are taking the jars from tomcat common/lib directory, I tried copying the new ojdbc14.jar in web-inf/lib folder of one application, but it is not working.
Could you please let me know whether this will take the jar from tomcat by befault or from web-inf, and a solution how to proceed with this.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I tried removing the jars from common/lib, but as the connection string is mentioned inside the server.xml it is showing db connection error while trying to connect to the database

Using your video processing computer for the web

Hello,
I've heard it from some people I really trust and respect that one should never use your video server for ANY other purpose other than video work. They say if you use other applications, including being on the Internet, it is guaranteed to mess things up in the long run.
I want to do the right thing. But I must admit, it is SO handy to be able to encounter a problem in PrPro and just go online here and ask.
What do others do? Do they adhere to the dedicated video machine point of view?
Thanks,
matt dubuque

if you follow the 'expert' advices of having a dedicated video processing computer your workflow will be impacted. At least my workflow includes a lot of research and download from templates, royality free pictures, movies, etc. and I'm using Firefox and IE on a daily basis.
Better to invest in a solid workstation as a foundiation for a real multimedia environment, in my case a i7 930, 24 GB main memory, 5 discs with 9 TB storage, etc. under Windows 7 64 bit and I run the following main suites in parallel and all are connected to the web without any problems:
* Adobe Master collection CS5 (mainly Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop and Dreamweaver)
* Cubase 6 and Wavelab 7 for music production
* Tons of plugins and support SW both for Adobe (Redgiant, Boris FX, ProDAD, Roxio, Juicer, etc.) and Cubase (Waves SSL, NI Komplete, Yamaha N12 mixer, Lexicon, Soundtoys, SPL, etc.)
If you follow also the principle to never ever install a SW piece without checking first a trial version (1 by 1 of course...). To be protected in the worst case you should use a product like Norton Ghost for data backup and recovery --> never happened to me in my current environment for emergency perposes, i.e. in the last 6 months.

I am facing a problem, I will appreciate if you can give some insights to help.
We have been having problem logging in to application when there are a number of EXCEL processes running (17-18) on the server. Users that have already logged in have no problem, but new login will get "FRM-92101 There was a failure in the Forms Server during startup". The Forms Server itself is running fine. After we killed a few EXCEL processes, new users will be able to login.
Thanks and regards,

Using REGEXP_REPLACE in oracle 10g for repetition of the source string

Hello all,
I kept trying but unsuccessful, Here is what i would like.
I have a source string and i would like that to be repeated in the way i would like.
Let say, i have about 50 tables to write update statements for each with the same table from another database.
So, I would like to take the columns i need for each table, use a regular expression and create a set clause.
FOR EXAMPLE
say, a table has 3 columns
Source string is 'TABLE_COLUMN_1_ID,TABLE_COLUMN_2_VALUE,TABLE_COLUMN_3_DESC'
I would like to use regular expressions in 10g and get this
desired o/p
'TABLE_COLUMN_1_ID = TABLE_COLUMN_1_ID,TABLE_COLUMN_2_VALUE = TABLE_COLUMN_2_VALUE,TABLE_COLUMN_3_DESC = TABLE_COLUMN_3_DESC'
I thought s its easy with my knowledge of expressions but still struggling.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Something like this ?
SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE('TABLE_COLUMN_1_ID,TABLE_COLUMN_2_VALUE,TABLE_COLUMN_3_DESC',
'([^,]+)', ' \1 = \1') x
FROM DUAL;
X
TABLE_COLUMN_1_ID = TABLE_COLUMN_1_ID, TABLE_COLUMN_2_VALUE = TABLE_COLUMN_2_VALUE, TABLE_COLUMN_3_DESC = TABLE_COLUMN_3_DESC

Authoring Oracle Helpf for the Web

Hi,
I've been tasked with creating the help file for the portal we are deploying. I've followed the steps outlined in the Oracle Help Guide and now have the following files:
cna.hs
cna_toc.xml
cnamap.xml
public_home.html
site_map.html
I don't quite understand what I am supposed to do next. If anybody can give me a hand I would appreciate it.

It looks like you've got a helpset file, a table of contents file, a map file, and some HTML content. That should give you a small, but functional helpset. Have you tried configuring OHW to display your helpset? What are your specific questions?

Can i use MAC OS X SERVER for few web sites?!

Can i?!

Here is the OS X Server web page. That and the pages it links to will be of interest to you.
As Strontium90 indicates, yes, you can host via the provided Apache, and Apache supports so-called multiple virtual hosts.
Though some of the Apple pages indicate that no IT department is required, you will need an understanding of Apache and potentially (probably eventually) its configuration files, of setting up and troubleshooting IP networking and Network Address Translation (NAT) and port forwarding, and of setting up DNS. You will need to set up DNS services locally, on your NAT'd network. You will need port forwarding.
To serve these web sites and web pages publicly, you'll also need either a static IP connection from your ISP or minimally an account that does not block TCP port 80 (HTTP) and TCO port 443 (HTTPS) as some ISPs do block those from residential accounts, and you'll probably also want public DNS as folks don't like entering IP addresses. You'll also need enough network bandwidth for whatever you're doing, and a network gateway-firewall-router device that'll let you port-forward TCP 80 and TCP 443 through to your new server.

Required help for java web url of BI Query

hello Experts,
Here is my scnenario: I am having a BI query lest's say xxxx. now i have build url and passed the query parameters in URL. Still the query is not taking that varialble values and showing the parameter screen. My requirement is the query should execute with the parameters which are passed in the URL. It should not ask for the parameter screen.
Help will be really appriciated.
thanks in advance.

Where is the dll ?
you need to include it in a jar, and ref that jar with
<nativelib href=<url to the jar>/>
and request all-permissions in you jnlp file (and sign both jars)

Access from WebI/ Universe to SAP Query with user who has analysis authenti

Hello together,
I try to run and build a WebI report which is build on a universe based on SAP BW query. The user has restricted access to the data provider on which the SAP query is build. This restriction is based on analysis authentification (SAP BI 7.0) if I start the SAP query in BW the user has only restricted access to the data in the data provider (on which the SAP query is build). If I start the WebI report the user has full access to the data. I checked the authentification and in my opinion there is no other authentification in SAP BW which extends the restrictions.
Has anyone an idea why the authentification doesn't work?
Greetings Janine

Hey here,
I m creaing my universe on top of Infocube or multiprovider.
>> The recommendation path is to use BW queries with the necessary Authorization Variables leveraging your BI Authorizations.
For eg:
I have 2 users, User1 and User2.
Now if I want User1 should see data for CostCentre = UK,India.
User2 should see data for CostCentre = US, UK,India
>> This is part of BI Authorizations in BW.
Here are my queries:
1) Will User1 and User2 be able to see the data level access in Webi Report based on the their Login?
>> assuming you follow the 2 steps mentioned above (Query and authorization variables) - yes
If Data level access cannot be achieved in Webi via universe created on top of Infocube/Multiprovider then what is the approach to do so?
>> Data level security is part of your BI authorizations in BW.
In a nutshell, BO alone can't do that, one has to set up at BI level.
Hope clarified all your doubts.
Gracias...!!

Can we use replication usings oracle 10g steams for EBS r12 database?

HI,
We are using EBS 12.0.6 and database 10.2.0.3 on linux 32-bit/64-bit OS (Multi-Node env).
Actually We want to decrease the load of custom reports on actual production system, so thats why
we need reports server and as my past experience I had used oracle streams for replication with simple schema based replication and tablespace replication also.
So, please educate me, that can i used the oracle 10g streams for EBS schemas like APPS, GL ,INV, PO, ONT, ODM, AR, AP, CM etc?
Please provide us the above related env docs and road Map.
If you have any other way to create the Report Server?
Regard,
Fayaz Ahmed

Hi,
We are not in a position to upgrade the EBS from 12.0.6 to 12.1, because this is lengthy task, but we had already tested technically it in test env, but functional testing in pending.
Now we want to immediate solution if possible, because this is production?
So, please suggest another.
regards
