Using or migrating Cognos Powerplay Cubes in/to Oracle OBIEE V 11.1.1

Hello,
is it possible somehow to use cognos cubes (used in Cognos Powerplay) in OBIEE out of the box? Or with some tricks?
If not, is it possible somehow to do a elegant migration, without starting from the scratch?
Any ideas or good links, informations about this topic?
thanks ahead?

Hi Tina,
I unzipped the install file to the root drive i.e. (C:\bishiphome in my case or D:\bishiphome in your case). Some of the folder structure for SampleAppLite goes pretty deep, and I'm wondering since you've got the install folder nested in some folders, it might start hitting Windows file path limit.
I know for a fact, when I installed 11g to C:\app\oracle\product\obiee11\<obiee11>, when it came time to uninstall, I couldn't delete the SampleAppLite files because their file path's were so long. From then on, I just installed it to the root directory to avoid problems.
Hope this helps!

Migrating Cognos Powerplay models.

<p>Are there any tools available to aid in converting CognosPowerplay models to Essbase?</p><p>I'm also interested in any other info on migration - methods /best practices /white papers/case histories/limitations, etc.</p>

I am not aware of a tool that directly converts Cognos reports into BIRT reports.
However, I am not overly familiar with Cognos reports.
If there is an API or a system available with Cognos reports to programmatically read their contents, you could then use the BIRT Design Engine API (DEAPI) to programmatically build report designs based on what is read from the Cognos designs.
Alternatively, each report can always be rebuilt individually using the BIRT Report designer as needed.

Migrate cognos cubes to essbase

Hi,
Does anyone know the steps to migrate Cognos cubes to Essbase 11? I've no idea where to start from other than doing it manually from scratch, like building the outline & loading data.
Can we export metadata & data from Cognos in a format which can be loaded to Essbase w/o much tedious manual task?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Srinivas,
Thank you for quick reply.
could you explain me process little bit clearly.
can you explain how to extract the data from cognos cubes to the relational layer?are there any third party tools for doing the same?
How do you compute complex calculation in cognos.can we do scripting in cognos as we do it is essbase using calculation scripts.
for eg :do you incorparate if else st in cognos(thinking in terms of reusability).
How can a security be migrated from cognos to essbase.
Have you used any third party tools for migration.
What is "report matrix " I don't have idea about cognos.
and some more things you followed
Thanks!

Oracle AW OLAP or Cognos PowerPlay for cube building

Starting a Pilot project for BI reporting. We have two options we are exploring and testing OLAP in Oracle 10G AW and Cognos PowerPlay. Our intent is to use Cognos ReportNet for our reporting tool.
I tend to lean toward building Dimensions/Cubes in the Oracle Analytical Workspace rather then Cognos PowerPlay.
I need to know the pros and cons of Cube design in Cognos vs Oracle AW from the experts out there, not enough experience under my belt.
Also if I head down the path of utilizing the Oracle AW, can I efficiently use Cognos ReportNet to access the AW? Is this via SQL or the Oracle OLAP API?
Thanks All

Hi, can't comment on your first question.
Yes, you can use Cognos ReportNet with OLAP cubes. You can use any SQL emitting query tool to access the views that you create over OLAP 10g. note, these views are created dynamically in Oracle OLAP 11g which makes it very easy.
You/ tools write SQL against the cube views, and leverage the aggregated data, and calcs in the cube, as well as having the capabilities of Cognos ReportNet. There may be a few tricks you need to do to have Cognos ReportNet write efficient SQL.. maybe someone else out there has some more input?

Migration cognos to HFM / Hyperion Planning

Hi,
Does anyone know the steps to migrate Cognos cubes to HFM 11/Hyperion Planning 11? I've no idea where to start from other than doing it manually from scratch, like building the outline & loading data.
Can we export metadata & data from Cognos in a format which can be loaded to HFM/planning w/o much tedious manual task?
Please give me suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hi S.P.,
i read your post. How looks your migration concept from Cognos to OHP 11?
Pls write me a mail [ noahface[at]gmx.de ] or give a post.

I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant and my mac mini. I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers.

I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant from my mac mini. I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers. It keeps saying that I only have 2 devices setup, my iPad and my macbook pro. When I mess with the setting on my mac mini, it goes from saying that that is one of the devices to my macbook pro being the 2nd device. I think that something happened as a result of my using the migration assistant and now it thinks that my macbook pro and my mac mini are one and the same computer. Any ideas?

Thanks, Sig.
The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem. Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page. Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them.
(I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

After I used the migration tool to transfer contents of my previous MacBook Pro I cannot log in to my new MacBook Pro. I have tried using old and new passwords but to no effect. I cannot use my Apple ID. How can I re-set my MBook to factory setting pls?

I have been a proud owner of Apple products for many years. However, this problem is very frustrating! Any help will be appreciated. I used the migration tool to transfer the contents of my old MacBook Pro to my new shiny MacBook Pro Retina! After migration finished I tried to access my new MacBook Pro retina. However, when asking me to log in it refuses to accept the passwords from either the new MacBook or the old one! I do not have the option of using my Apple ID either.... Please help! Unfortunately, I am past my 90 day Apple Support!!

Restart holding down the CMD+R keys, launch Disk Utility and erase the HD, quit DU, and restore the OS. On first boot, use the Setup Assistant to do the migration. Details in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

I used the migration assistant to transfer files from my PC to my Mac but it recreated my user profile from the PC and I wanted to transfer the files to the new different user profile I've setup on the Mac. How can I transfer everything now?

I have an older Windows laptop and I am switching to a new MacBook Air. The main user on the Windows laptop is going to be different than the main user on the MacBook. I used the migration assistant to transfer data to the MacBook but it recreated the whole older profile on the new Mac when I just wanted to pull everything over into the new user profile I had already created on the new MacBook. How can I go about putting the data over into the new user profile and erasing the older other user profile it recreated? Would I erase the old user profile on the new Mac and start over with the migration assistant using some setting I missed that lets me pull the data over to the new main user on the MacBook? Or is there a way to rename the old user profile on the Mac to match what I want the new username/password to be somehow?
Or would it be best to back the data I really need from the old PC onto an external HD and then copy it over to the new Mac from the external HD?
Looking for advice on how to best go about this. On the old PC I had multiple profiles and it was awkward. On the new Mac I just want a single profile for the primary user and both users will just share the same user profile. I wasn't sure if the Migration Assistant only let you recreate entire profiles or if there was a way to just import data from the old PC's primary profile into the new Mac's new primary profile with some setting adjustment.
Data would be docs, pics, bookmarks, music. Fairly basic.
Thanks for any and all advice,
-Crosscourier.

Look in the /Users/ folder.

Can you merge two user accounts on macbook? my wife has created a user on her new macbook , then inadvertently created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st ac has her office 365 install, yet 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts.

Can you merge two user accounts on a macbook? my wife has created a new user on her new macbook air then, inadvertently, created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st a/c has her office 365 install, while 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts. What is the best way forward to get everything into the one account? Not sure if the office 365 will allow another installation into the second account, otherwise would just do that and delete the first, if that is possible?

There is no merge but you can move data from one account to another via the Shared folder. Data is copied from Shared. Watch your free space when copying. These are large files. Do one at a time if you are on a small drive. After making copy, delete from other users before you start next copy.
Office365 installs in the main Applications folder and is available for all users on the computer. Activation is tied to the drive not the User.

I used the migrator utility to transfer music and picture from my old PC and now I have 2 accounts on my new Mac, how can I get back to one account and still have the music and photos transfered ?

I used the migrator utility to transfer itunes and photos from my old PC to my new Mac and ended up with 2 accounts on my new computer. How do I transfer the music and photos and only have the 1 account on the new Mac ?

That's not easy. The Windows migration tool makes a new user account, and you can't prevent it.
You may be able to transfer what you want manually, but it's not quick or easy. See Transferring files from one User Account to another.

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro. It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, use the migration assistant or click the lock to make changes, it simply does not react.

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro.
It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, I simply get stuck during the installation type process. I put in my password, it does accept it, but it does not go any further.
I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.
So I thought I might try to create a new account but I cannot click the lock to make changes. It simply refuses to react.
I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...
I guess it has something to do with the authorization process, but can't find anything on the internet about it... Can you help me out?
I am running Lion 10.7.3.
Regards,
Nicolas.
(I apologize if any grammatical/structural mistakes were to be found, english is not my mother-tongue. )

You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS.

Can I use the migration assistant to migrate my Mac Book Pro to my new MacBook Air. Is there any problem with this since the platforms are not identical?

I have Mac Book Pro ( bought November 2010) that I want to migrate all of the data and applications from, over to a new Mac Book Air? It was suggested that I use the Migration Tool as it is supposed to make an exact clone of the Mac Book Pro machine and put it on the Mac Boor Air. Can that really work if you are going from one platform to another?
I was also told I could restore the data from my time capsule to the MacBook Air.
I'm looking for the easiest method that will leave me with as little to do as possible to get up an running on the Mac Book Air afterwards. I'm not a real strong user and don't want to have to reconfigure applications to make them work.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Connecting your MacBook Pro and your MacBook Air will be the fastest way, but you have to spend money on cables and adapters (also, your MacBook Pro doesn't support Thunderbolt).
As you have a Time Capsule, one thing you can do is to start your MacBook Pro and make a Time Machine backup. Then, turn on your MacBook Air and set it up. Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so select the option to restore the backup from the Time Capsule and be patient. This can take a lot of time if you have to migrate a lot of files

Migrate From MS Access 2003 to Oracle using Oracle SQL Developer 3.0

Hello All,
I am trying to migrate Access DB .mdb using the Oracle SQL Dev 3.0 Data Migration Wizard, everything go very nice and smooth until the Capture Step, for sure am using the online mode, in the Capture Step the list of available databases is empty and a Msg Box saying that the DB list should have at leats one database selected, so I don't know what's that mean or how to fix this.
in my .mdb file I have four tables and I can copy the data to Oracle using the Right click and copy to Oracle Function, but it really takes much time.
Any help would be really appreciated and thanks in advance.
yours,
Hussein

Just to clarify:
You have created the migration repository and start the migration using Tools => Migration => Migrate
- now you've selected the repositiry
- specified a project
- selected the source database
=> you've choosen the ONLINE Mode
==>> and now you don't see your MS Access database in the "Connection" List
Is this correct?
If the steps you're doing match the steps I've posted above, then please be aware for MS Access migrations you need to choose the OFFLINE method. The MS Access source database information is collected by the MS Access Exporter available from Tools => Migration => MS Access Exporter
Once you've created the XML/OCP file you specify this newly created file during the OFFLINE migration mode.
If your steps differ from mine, please post yours more detailed.
Thx.

Problems using Quick Migrate in SQL Developer 1.5 for MySQL to Oracle 10g

Hi all,
I am trying to use SQL Developer 1.5 migration tools (Quick Migrate) to perform online capture and build source model to migrate from MySQL 5.x to Oracle 10g on Windows platform. I get these errors and the Quick Migrate process fails:
oracle.dbtools.metadata.persistence.PersistableObject.doInsert(PersistableObject.java:238)
I did a search and used the sqldeveloper.cmd script but still fails. Then I created a new database and truncated the repository. I now get the above error plus two new ones listed below:
oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:112)
Error loading nls:OALL8 is in an inconsistent state
Error occurred during capture: Protocol violation
It fails during the capture process for MySQL 5.1 database
when it begins to capture the tables from MySQL.
Does anyone know how to resolve these issues when migrating from MySQL to Oracle 10g using Quick Migrate with SQL Developer 1.5 release?
Regards,
Ben Prusinski

Hi all,
I put the following in my sqldeveloper.cmd file:
SET ORACLE_HOME=%CD%
What is very confusing is that with SQL Developer 1.5, there are several levels and several SQL Developer executables! I am really not sure which of these to use:
I created the SQLDeveloper 1.5 directory called SQLDeveloper1_5 on Windows:
1) cd C:\sqldeveloper1_5\sqldeveloper-5338
there exists a sqldeveloper.exe
2) cd c:\sqldeveloper1_5\sqldeveloper-5338\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper.exe
3) cd c:\sqldeveloper1_5\sqldeveloper-5338\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloer\bin\sqldeveloper.exe
Which SQLDeveloper 1.5 executable should I be using and where should I place the
sqldeveloper.cmd file?
Also I did try to use a different database and schema for the repository with Quick Migrate but it appears a bug exists in SQL Developer 1.5 version that causes errors with Quick Migrate for MySQL to Oracle? Is this correct?
As an update, I ran the following commands:
cd to
c:\sqldeveloper1_5\sqldeveloper-5338\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin
sqldeveloper.cmd sqldeveloper.exe
Start sqldeveloper.exe
Perform standard capture for MySQL using the new mig2 schema as the new repository
It starts the capture but fails on the errors below:
Error loading nls:OALL8 is in an inconsistent state
UPDATE
============================
I tried this again and it worked with the exception of one error message listed below:
Here are the steps that I followed:
1. Create a Windows cmd script
Put the following entries in the script:
SET ORACLE_HOME=%CD%
save the command windows script as sqldeveloper.cmd
Copy this script to the base installation directory for SQLDeveloper
Example:
1. cd c:\SQLDeveloper1_5\sqldeveloper-5338\sqldeveloper
2. Start SQLDeveloper with the command script that you created earlier
Example:
Open a Windows shell prompt window and execute the following scripts:
a) sqldeveloper.cmd sqldeveloper.exe
b) sqldeveloper.exe
3) In SQL Developer 1.5
From the Migrate menu,
a) Delete current repository and create a new schema in Oracle target database call it mig2.
b) Then create a new repository in SQL Developer 1.5
c) Right mouse click on the MySQL 5.x database and choose capture
It worked with the exception of one error message:
o.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
Error while registering Oracle JDBC Diagnosability MBean.
So it looks like something is screwed up with my JDBC drivers and configuration for MySQL. How do I diagnose the JDBC driver issue for MySQL?
Thanks!!!
Ben
