Using an LDAP server as a data source?

I'm evaluating data services and one of our requirements is to be able to retrieve data from an LDAP server. This isn't for authentication.
We store information about users in an LDAP directory. The workflow I'm testing retrieves a customer number from a DB2 database and then retrieves the customer information in the LDAP directory.
Is there a way to do this without having to write a bunch of code? The "import metadata" menu doesn't list LDAP as one of the data providers.
thanks!

There is no point-and-click (Import Data Source Metadata) way to use an LDAP server as a datasource. You have to use the Java Function provided on dev2dev. If you need help with it, please post here.

Using Oracle BI Server as a Data Source for Third Party Tools

I have been researching how to use the Oracle BI Server as a data source for two days now. I have not yet found a solution to my problem.
We have a remote user who is pulling data from one of our Oracle databases using automated tools. This data base is essentially being replaced by Oracle Analytics. However, we do not want this user to get at the physical tables of Analytics, rather, we want the user to be able to connect to the Oracle BI Server itself, and issue Logical SQL to pull data.
Here are the requirements which I need to be fulfilled:
1) The ability for a remote user to connect to the BI Server as a data source.
2) The remote user must be able to do this on a Unix box.
3) The remote user must be able to automate the process of issuing SQL to the BI Server. (Command line interface is preferable)
4) The solution needs to be easily implementable, that is, this solution will be implemented many times over.
I found many articles explaining how to set up a Windows box to connect to the BI Server in this way. However, these articles outline how to use tools like Excel and Microsoft Query to pull data from the BI Server. Our current user is using SQLplus.
If possible, I would like the user to continue using SQLplus as the tool for connecting to and retriving information from our BI Server. I have tested using SQLplus many different ways to no avail. I have also tried using other tools, such as Oracle SQL Developer.
Is there a program out there that will fulfill the needs I have outlined above? Or, does someone know of a way to use SQLplus to connect to the Oracle BI Server as a data source? Or, is there a series of solutions which will fulfill the needs outlined above?

I agree it would be inefficient but only because you are using OBIEE for something it was not designed to do. You are basically asking for a "DB feed" and that should designed using PL/SQL, DB Links, Web Services or whatever is your entreprise standard to send data from one system to another. Using OBIEE for this seems a bad architecture decision to me.You are correct, the BI Server is not really intended to be queried like another Oracle Database remotely. However, the reason we are trying to do it this way is twofold:
1) We want to enforce data level security.
2) The BI Server has been fine tuned for high performance.
Forcing the end users to go through the BI Server rather than directly to the physical tables or other sorts of systems built on top solves both of these issues.
I think you are wrong. I don't see why SQLPlus should be able to query the BI Server. The BI Server can sit on top of many different DBs not just Oracle, even flat files etc. So you can't really expect the BI Server to able to translate all that into Oracle SQL output so you can query it using SQLPlus. The BI Server is not an Oracle RDBMS.You're right again. The BI Server isn't an Oracle RDBMS, and I have been wanting to treat it like one. From the data I have gathered SQLPlus can't query the BI Server.
However, my research has led me to realize that the BI Server supports the JDBC API. Therefore, (I should have went down this route in the first place) one can use the JDBC driver provided by Oracle (bijdbc14.jar) to interface with the BI Server. There are many programs and applications out there that support the JDBC API and let us connect to BI Server the way we want to. Furthermore, these programs are mostly platform independent, as they are mostly written in Java.
Lastly, from what I understand the NQCMD program can be installed on any platform as well (provided by Oracle). This is another option to connect to the BI Server as well.
Thanks for your help and your comments as I went through this process of discovery.

Using s SQL server as a data source for Project Siena (An AX SQL database more specificaly)?

I cant seem to find this information on the internet yet so I figured I would ask my question here.
I would like to pull data from a Dynamics AX sql database to use in a project siena app. I have heard that this is something that is planned for a future release of Siena but is there any way this can be done currently?
Thank you

Hi Philip,
It's not supported in the current version. The following thread from Vijay outlines some of the features targeted for the next release:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/405aed19-21b8-4a36-bf45-b1d962567c3b/some-functionality-in-the-next-siena-refresh?forum=projectsiena. As you can see, it will include read/write over web services. So, if your data is exposed using services,
you should be able to meet your requirements.
Thanks

Using ConnBean and CursorBean with a Data Source

Hi all,
I',m making a web app. using the Jdev (RUP4) with OA Extension. I looked in the help menu under "About Data-Access JavaBeans and Tags". Here I found the following example, but for some stange reason I cannot get the setProperty to work.
Example: Using ConnBean and CursorBean with a Data Source This following is a sample JSP page that uses ConnBean with a data source to open a connection, then uses CursorBean to execute a query.
<%@ page import="java.sql.*, oracle.jsp.dbutil.*" %>
<jsp:useBean id="cbean" class="oracle.jsp.dbutil.ConnBean" scope="session">
<jsp:setProperty name="cbean" property="dataSource"
value="<%=request.getParameter("datasource")%>"/>
</jsp:useBean>
<% try {
cbean.connect();
String sql="SELECT ename, sal FROM scott.emp ORDER BY ename";
CursorBean cb = cbean.getCursorBean (CursorBean.PREP_STMT, sql);
out.println(cb.getResultAsHTMLTable());
cb.close();
cbean.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
out.println("<P>" + "There was an error doing the query:");
out.println("<PRE>" + e + "</PRE>\n<P>"); }
%>
Does anyone know how to set the "Property" to a datasource and make it work?
Best regards,
MHCI

Make the use of LDAP Server optional

Hi,
we are running an SAP EP 6 SP20 on Windows 2003 Enterprise Server. Our UME Configuration is defined as using an LDAP Server AND the Portal Database. Our portal is mostly used as an information basis used by anonymous access (Guest), some users are able to authenticate themself against the LDAP Server to get more services.
No my question: Is it possible to configure the Portal in that way, that it uses the LDAP Server if available otherwise ignore it and therefore
an authentication of users except the users defined in the portal database is not possible.
At the moment our portal is not available if the LDAP Server is not available our target is to uncouple the strong binding to the LDAP Server.
If the LDAP Server is down or not available no authentication against this UME-Datasource is possible, if available it can be used.
I could not find any parameter or configuration example to configure this behaviour.
The first priority for our portal is being available for information purposes, the second priority is being available for additional services needing authentication.
Is there anyone there having an idea how to solve this?
Regards
Edmund

Hi EG,
As mentioned by GLM above, I share the same view.
One suggestion maybe is to create those users in the Portal UME and then disable your SSO settings in IE (means that your users have to login to Portal). Till you have your LDAP up and running, then re-config your UME seetings in Portal, pointing to your LDAP and have that as your main UME source.
Hope that helps.

Crystal Report using a Web Service as a data source?

I am trying to figure out how to use a Web Service as a data source in Crystal Reports. When I use the report wizard, I do not see an option to select Web Service as a new connection. We are currently using Crystal Reports 2008 v12.1.0.892. Could it be that my version does not support this? Is there an update that contains this feature? Please help.

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately I do not see a radio button for Web Services. I've read that it should be there too. Could it be a missing plug-in or patch?
Here are screen shots of what I see when trying to connect to an XML. Any thoughts?

When you use the LDAP v1 realms you have to supply four primary sets of information
1) The URL of the LDAP server
2) The principal and credentials you use to bind with ... this will usually be
the distinguished name and user password for a user that is set with administrative
rights
3) The User information that indicates (a) what node to look for users ... for
example ou=People,dc=crcc and (b) the attribute that maps to the login ID (typically,
uid)
4) The Group information that indicates (a) what node to look for groups ... for
exampel ou=Groups,dc=crcc and the attribute in each group that represents the
member dn typically either uniquemember or uniquename
Hope this helps.

Authenticate Users Using an LDAP Server

Hi,
I did implement 'Authenticate Users Using an LDAP Server' according the link blow below.
[http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/how_to_ldap_authenticate.html]
It works OK to specific DN String, example 'cn=%LDAP_USER%,OU=Menahel,OU=Cmp,DC=ho,DC=discount'.
We have a lot of domain rules, mean the users not located at the same DN.
Is it possibale to use general DN string (base root) like 'cn=%LDAP_USER%,*,*,DC=ho,DC=discount?
Thanks in advance,
Shay

Augusto, one thing to check (since it caught me out) is that your LDAP entries conform to the right format, namely
"cn=Bob" etc
When I was integrating HTMLDB LDAP against a Sun One Directory Server, it had me scratching my head for ages, until I realised that the LDAP entries had been created in the format of -
"uid=bob" rather than "cn=bob"
This might not be your problem, but it's worth checking anyway ;)

SharePoint 2013 - SQL Server 2012 PPIV - using a PPIV workbook as a data source - getting PPIV web service error

I created a PowerPivot (SQL Server 2012 SP1) workbook and uploaded it to SharePoint 2010 Portal and started using it as a data source in an excel file. This worked fine and we saw no issues with it until we moved to SharePoint 2013 environment.
I uploaded the same PowerPivot workbook (source workbook) to SharePoint 2013 Portal and now trying to use it as a data source. I tried to change connection properties so that I could use the new portal address for the workbook. When
I try to save my changes, I see that OLAP queries are getting fired "Refreshing OLAP cube" shows up in the status bar, but eventually after running these OLAP queries (I would say after a minute), I get the following error -
Couldn't find anything specific in SharePoint logs or maybe I wasn't looking for the right thing.
Has anyone seen this issue? Why would PPIV service throw an error after running for a while? Is it a timeout issue of some kind? How can we take care of this?
Thanks,
Sonal

ULS log showed the following exception: The maximum number of allowed sessions per user has been exceeded.
Under Excel Services global settings, max limit is set. Default is 25, increasing it resolved this issue.
Thanks,
Sonal

Handling parameters when using BI Server as a Data Source

Hi,
Following an upgrade of our BI Publisher 10g content to 11g I've come across a syntax issue with 11g when it comes to the handling of parameters in BI Server Data Sets.
Under 10g, the documentation stated the following:
+"If your data source is the Oracle BI Server, use the following macro to handle the null:+
+{$ if ${sYear}='*'$}+
+{$elsif ${sYear}='2000' $}+
+where Year = :sYear+
+{$else $}+
+where Year = :sYear+
+{$endif$} "+
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e12187/T518230T518233.htm
Under 11g it does not seem to allow the use of macros defined in Data Sets and raises the following error when saving the query:
+"java.io.IOException: prepare query failed[nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 27002] Near <$>: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012] ."+
If macros are no longer supported, what is the best approach to handle null value parameters (caused by all choices / nothing being selected)
as they need to be defined in the Data Set WHERE CLAUSE?
I've tried a rather clunky CASE WHEN statement which handles string parameters fine, but dates are another thing as null values are returned as 'null' text which causes TYPE mismatch errors.
Hopefully there is an elegant way to handle this in 11g (the 10g macros were very straight forward when dealing with BI Server)
Many Thanks

If what you are saying is true then I would highly recommend open a ticket with Oracle Support.
They should provide and alternative for handling NULLS in 11g.

Some doubts in using resource-ref,connection pool n Data-source

Hi all ,
I need little bit clarification in the following points.
1) Does the connection pool which is created can be displayed in JNDI Tree???
I am seeing only DataSOurce in the JNDI Tree Only.
2)In case of Bean Managed Persistance, in ejb-jar.xml,
I had given the following info.
<resource-ref>
         <res-ref-name>ramukkDataSource</res-ref-name>
         <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
         <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
     </resource-ref>Does the <res-ref-name> refers to Datasource Name??
In weblogic-ejb-jar.xml
<reference-descriptor>
       <resource-description>
          <res-ref-name>ramukkDataSource</res-ref-name>
          <jndi-name>ramukkpool</jndi-name>
       </resource-description>
     </reference-descriptor>Here <jndi-name> refers to connection pool as per weblogic bible book.
If so when i deployed my ejb into the server iam getting Datasource cant be found.
If i had given like the following,
In ejb-jar.xml
<resource-ref>
          <res-ref-name>jdbc/ramuJndi</res-ref-name>
          <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
          <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
     </resource-ref> In weblogic-ejb-jar.xml
     <reference-descriptor>
          <resource-description>
           <res-ref-name>jdbc/ramuJndi</res-ref-name>
           <jndi-name>jdbc/ramuJndi</jndi-name>
       </resource-description>
    </reference-descriptor>Then only my ejb code is successfully deploying doing some work which is as per xpectation.
Can any body tell why I have to give the same name for <res-ref-name> n <jndi-name>??
I am working on this problem from last one week. Still not found the solution.

I have read the documentation.
I changed my class to oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionCacheImpl from
oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionPoolDataSource
I observed in the EM that the Open JDBC Connections and Total JDBC Connections are the same. When I used oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionPoolDataSource my Total JDBC Connections was increasing and Open JDBC Connections remains 0.
My question still remains unanswered, could some kindly help.
Q? I have defined a data source in JDeveloper using
oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionCacheImpl
In my java bean I am using the code pasted below to make a connection to database.
Can some one tell whether I am using the correct method of connection pooling mechanism or do I need to make some changes? This application uses JSP and used by lots of people which hits database very frequently.
Any help is highly appreciable.
Thanks in advance.

Creating Repositories using MS SQL Server DataBase in Data Service Reposito

HI All,
I installed BODS and I am trying to create repository using Data Service Repository Manager but I am getting the following error message :
Cannot open connection to the repository. The error message from the underlying DBMS is <ODBC call <SQLDriverConnect> for data source <localhost> failed: <[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.>. Notify Customer Support.>. (BODI-20006)
An error occurred during creation of the local repository. (BODI-300054)
While installing BODS i used the option to create DB .... Before that even I had Microsoft SQL server installed for MDM which was working fine (Able to Log on and so on)...
Do I need to install Oracle in order to create repositories? How to proceed further please suggest.
many Thanks
Rajeev.

Hi!
What version of SQL Server are you using for the repositories? Maybe the error is because DS can not create repositories in SQL Server 2008. You can read and write data with SQL2008, but you need to create the repositories in SQL2005 or another RDBMS. I'm not sure when DS is going to be able to create them in SQL2008.
I hope this could help you. Greetings!

Using SSAS Security Proxy as a Data Source in SSRS

Hello--
We have a tabular model that is exposed externally to our clients via msmdpump.dll (Configure
HTTP Access to Analysis Services on Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0).
We have also created a proxy to use custom security accessing the cube. This proxy works fantastic from Excel. The proxy URL looks like this:
https://xxxxx.xxxxx.com/login
However, from Reporting Services, using the URL to the security proxy as the server name, I cannot make a connection. I ran a profiler trace on the server and I see a connection trying to be made to get the database names, but it returns an error that says:
"DataSourceInfo property cannot be overwritten."
I've searched and searched online and found nothing so I'm turning to this forum to see if I can get some help here.
To summarize, the proxy works great from Excel, but does not work from SSRS. It attempts to connect and get the database names, but returns an error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi AshleyPaceNC,
According to your description, you have configured Http access to SSAS, and you also created a custom security for when connecting the cube. Now you find when applying the custom login URL in Excel, it can work. However, In SSDT, this URL is not working.
Right?
In this scenario, I want to know the connection string you use in Excel. You can click Connections->Properties->Definition to see the Connection String.
Based on my research, it seems the internal working of Excel external data source connection is either a ODBC or OLEDB type connection. It can access with credentials via some hops redirect. However, in SQL Server Data Tool, our BI services directly
open connection to the data source (database, file....), so it can't have a URL redirect before getting the destination database.

Simon Hou

Creating Sql Server 2005 External Data Source

Hey guys, I'm trying to connect to an SQL Server 2005 database directly from the BAM external Data Source.
I have the driver name and the connection string, login and password. I also have the driver, but BAM doesn't seem to have a "drivers" folder. So when I try to connect, I get:
BAM-00008: Invalid Oracle driver name
Source: "java.lang.ClasssNotFoundException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver" ID: "InvalidOracleDriverName"
Has anyone done this before? Am I only allowed to connect to an Oracle Database from BAM? Thanx!

Hi,
I use BAM with SQL Server External Data Source and works fine.
In the Architect set this parameters on conection with SQL Server (EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE):
Driver: SQL Server
Connection string / URL: SERVER=<host>;DATABASE=<name_db>;
<host> = ip or name of the server
<name_db> = name of the database on the SQL Server
I use BAM 10.1.3.3.0 with SQL Server 2005
