Using Siebel Enterprise Application 7.8 OLTP as source for OBIEE 10.1.3
hi,
We want to use the OLTP data source of Siebel Enterprise Application 7.8 for our OBIEE 10.1.3.3 BI application. The source tables (for example S_ORG_EXT) structure in 7.8 OLTP is older then the corresponding OLAP tables (W_ORG_D) in OBIEE.
Problems like above are solved using Analytics Bridge. However, We didn't find the Bridge specific for above versions of OLTP & OLAP.
If any of you have the slightest of idea as to how to resolve the above problem, do drop me a line at [email protected] or reply to this post.
Thanks,
Jignesh Doshi
It is my understanding you need at least 10.1.3.3.2 (upgrade/patch).
I'm currently on 10.1.3.3.0 and will be using ESSBASE shortly - so we actually have purchased 10.1.3.3.3 (OBIEE Plus).

Using Essbase as source for OBIEE 10.1.3.3
Our company is in the process of implementing OBIEE 10.1.3.3 and I was trying to import an Essbase database (7.1.6) as a source for the Physical layer. However it looks like there was a change from 10.1.3.2 to the version we have. The docs show you can select File/Import/XMLA, however in the newer version instead of XMLA you have "From Multi Dimensional...". When I select this option and fill in the Essbase Server name,ID & pswd it crashes the OBIEE Administrator client.
The error I get before it wants to "Send the Report" mentions this:
AppName: admintool.exe AppVer: 10.1.3.3 ModName: essapinu.dll
ModVer: 7.1.6.6218 Offset: 00008282
I then tried another way by right clicking on the Physical layer and choose "New Database". In there you have a option for the database of "Essbase". However, even when I fill in the server and ID & pswd I can't find anything in the docs showing you how to have it list the Essbase applications and Databases. According to the Oracle Support the docs for 10.1.3.2 are the latest docs which don't mention anything about connecting to Essbase that I can see.
Has anyone tried to use Essbase as the database source for OBIEE 10.1.3.3 and been successful? Any info would be helpful!!

Using both Enterprise library and Entity framework as DAL for same application
We have been using EF for large amount of data retrieval in our current application. We faced performance related issues with using EF with large data retrieval and manipulation.
We need to extend the same project with some additional functionality similar to what currently exists in the application and uses EF.
For the new functionality, we do not want to use EF and want to use enterprise library for Data access.
My question is if we use both entity framework for parts of the application data access mechanism and enterprise library for other parts of application data access, are there any known issues?
if there are any best practices to be followed please share .We have been using EF for large dataset retrieval in our current application. We faced performance related issues with using EF for large data set's .
Dataset? What are you talking about? If you are using the salad bowl, the dataset with datatables, then here is the reason not to use them.

What is Entlib going to buy you in performance? It's going to buy you nothing. You'll be better of going to the EF backdoor, use SQL command objects, inline T-SQL, sprocs, datareder and using custom objects or objects off of the virtual model returning a
single object or objects in a collction., if you are concerned about performance.

You'll probably be better of going to Entity SQL, using a datareader, collection and using custom objects or objects off of the model, if you are concerned about query performance.

Hello Experts,
My Scenario is Java Application(Source Data) - SAP PI 7.1 - SAP R/3.
I have standard R/3 BAPI available for Data posting in SAP R/3 system. This same scenario I can implement by creating and exposing the Web Service in SAP PI system. but here I want to use the Enterprise service(ES) concept which is new for me.
The following are my queries.
(1)How can I search relevant Enterprise services in PI for the SAP R/3 BAPI.
(2)If relevant ES is available then what are the steps to be performed?
(3)If relevant ES is not availabe then what are the steps to be performed?
Please suggest me.
Thanks & Regards
JageshHi
Following is answer of your question:
>(1)How can I search relevant Enterprise services in PI for the SAP R/3 BAPI.
There is no way to look for enterprise service for BAPI, ES are harmonized services based on GDT whereas BAPI is more SAP oriented in datatype definitions, only way is to find out is look into code as many ES are calling BAPI internally. Best way to identify correct ES is business use (like Purchase Order Creation etc)
>(2)If relevant ES is available then what are the steps to be performed?
It depends how you want to use this ES, you can call this ES from outside world (read thirdparty tools, application) and these services can be used as ready-to-use building block for new applications. You must know URL of wsdl and security setting (user/password) to use it with any application. You can call it from ABAP, .Net, Java applications. You can test ES with any SOAP testing tool like WSNavigator or SOAP UI.
>(3)If relevant ES is not availabe then what are the steps to be performed?
You have few options if ES is not available, design of your own by following proper governance model (i.e. PIC process) or you can live with existing BAPI, RFC and convert them into Web Service using webservice wizard available in SE80 and SE37.

Oracle Solutions for development of enterprise application
Can anyone tell me what my options are in the Oracle world for developing an enterprise application, and what would be needed for deployment?
It appears to me that for a Forms application you HAVE to purchase the Enterprise Edition of the Application server because it is the only edition that has the Forms (and Reports) services, which is needed for a Forms application. This is priced at 30,000 per processor.
Whereas, all you need for a J2EE application is the Java Edition of Oracle's Application Server which is 5,000 per processor.
Is my assessment correct? -
Essbase as a source in OBIEE 11g and using lookup to Relation database
Hello All,
We are trying to implement Essbase as primary source for our obiee 11g repository and using relational database as secondary source of data.
I was using a lookup functionality in repository to lookup value from one of the Essbase's Dimension's attribute to relational database, however, there is error when testing this in OBIEE Dashboards.
And tried to look this error in support.oracle and googled it but was not able to find anything on it.
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 46008] Internal error: File server\Query\Src\SQLookupUtility.cpp, line 145. (HY000)
Have you had any such issue and how can we pass this issue?
I am trying to find if there are any quick resolution before going to oracle support.
TIA.

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?
Edited by: user11177366 on Jun 11, 2009 11:46 AMI 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. -
How do I use my 2011 27" iMac as an external display for a pc?
I just bought a 27" imac for my home, and was also planning on using it as an external display for my work Dell Laptop running Windows 7.
The Dell laptop has a displayport output, so I was planning on getting a displayport <-> minidisplayport cable, and using the iMac in target display mode.
I would simply plug the minidisplay end of the cable into one of the iMac's 2 Thunderbolt ports. Seemed fairly simple.
Except now it seems from what I have been reading that 2011 iMacs DO NOT WORK in target display mode unless they are connected to another Thunderbolt source. This leads to me two questions.
1. Can anyone confirm or deny this? If this is true, does that mean I cannot plug my Dell's displayport into the iMac's Thunderbolt port as I described above?
2. If #1 is true, is there any other option? Are there any adapters that I can use to turn my Dell into a Thunderbolt source for display purposes?
If I can't resolve this I will have to return the iMac
Thanks very much.
DavidDavid,
Sorry you can't use the 2011 iMac as an external display to your PC. The feature you are referring to is called Target Display Mode and works on 2009 & 2010 27" iMacs. The 2011 machines use Thunderbolt as you know however they do support external displays that are not Thunderbolt displays. So for example if you wanted 2 displays on the iMac you can easily do that with either Mini Display port to DVI or MDP to VGA or even HDMI. MDP is the same size as Thunderbolt and this will work fine to drive a display, TV or even a projector.
I'd recommend reading Apple's explanations at Target Display Mode 2009 & 2010 iMacs & Target Display Mode Mid 2011 iMacs.
Using a Mac as an external display for a Windows machine to me seems like a horrible waste of a Mac. Why not enjoy the iMac and if anything run Windows on it and get rid of the PC? -
Using an SAS2008 Cube as a data source for BI Publisher errors
Hi All,
I am trying to use a SAS 2008 cube as a data source for a report in BI Publisher. When I defined the data source under the admin section I gave it the following details:
Data Source=ntsasqa01;Provider=msolap.3;Initial Catalog=WWPR_SMG
With a username / password that has access to the cube.
When I try and test the connection the OC4J instance stops running and the test does not finish or error. If I use the data source and then setup a report and then try and view data I get an error like the one below:
/app/oracle/OracleBI/xmlp/XMLP/Admin/DataSource/msmdacc.dll ( 0509-022 Cannot load module /app/oracle/OracleBI/xmlp/XMLP/Admin/DataSource/msmdacc.dll.
0509-103 The module has an invalid magic number.)
I am not sure if the error is related to the initial issue of not being able to complete the test.
I need to find a solution though as I have to make use of MDX to access the cubes.
Please could someone give me some advice.
Thanks,
Kim.Hi Kim
1. SAS cubes are not currently supported - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10417.pdf. Unless SAS cubes can use the MS drivers?
2. If you try and pursue it you might check the permissions on the ddll in the error to ensure you have rights over it.
Either way you are not supported with a SAS cube so you are kinda on your own. Sorry I dont use SAS so Im not going to be much help other than stating the obvious :0)

Using Oracle Stored Proc as Data Source for PowerBuilder Data Window Object
Hi,
I'm trying to use an Oracle stored procedure as the data source for a PowerBuilder data window object. I'm using the following (which is a variation of an example given on Sybase's web site, with the appropriate database/column name changes and use of %TYPE):
======================
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE pkg_dw_sp_example
AS
TYPE typ_example_rec1 IS RECORD(
v_comcodsa st_sa.comcodsa%TYPE,
v_comnamsa st_sa.comnamsa%TYPE,
v_cocitysa st_sa.cocitysa%TYPE);
TYPE cur_example_cur1 IS REF CURSOR;
RETURN typ_example_rec1;
END;
======================
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE sp_dw_example1
(arg_teamid IN st_sa.comcodsa%TYPE,
cur_team IN OUT pkg_dw_sp_example.cur_example_cur1)
AS
BEGIN
OPEN cur_team FOR
SELECT comcodsa,
comnamsa,
cocitysa
FROM st_sa
WHERE st_sa.comcodha = arg_teamid;
END sp_dw_example1;
======================
The package is created okay, but the procedure is saved with compilation errors. Unfortunately, Oracle does not indicate what the errors are (great product), so I have no idea what it is complaining about.
Questions:
1) Can anyone point me to/or provide a better example?
2) The examples in books I have seen all would have declared the procedure in the package specification - is the above valid?
3) This is a PowerBuilder specific question, but if the package does not show up in the stored procedure list when creating a data window object, how does one use it as a data source?
Oracle 8.1.7
PowerBuilder 8.0.1
Thanks,
Ed Holloman1) Everything looks fine with your code. You did not mention the environment you are compiling your code in, but if it is SQL*Plus, you can type 'show errors' after the compile and it will list the errors and line numbers for you.
2) You can include the procedure in the package - in which case you would have a procedure declaration in the spec and the actual procedure in the body. You would no longer include the 'create or replace' - the declaration and procedure would just start with 'procedure'. The spec would look include:
PROCEDURE sp_dw_example1
(arg_teamid IN st_sa.comcodsa%TYPE,
cur_team OUT cur_example_cur1);Note the removal of the package reference (since we are now IN the package) and the second parameter is just OUT instead of IN OUT.
3) Not much, but I know that in PB8, our developers have said they have visibility now to the package when creating a DW - something they didn't have in PB7. Previously, we had to create a dummy standalone procedure that they would select and they would later modify the code to include the package prefix.
Hope this helps a bit. -
How do I configure an enterprise application using Weblogic 10 wlconfig
Hi All,
I am converting an installer from WL8 to WL10. We use wlconfig to configure our EAR in wl8 with several wlconfig commands. These don't seem to work though when attempting to use wl10. The following error comes up more often than not and does not seem to be appropriate to what is actually happening.
Unable to create new bean of type WebAppComponent for pcidomain_new:Name=GenPortal,Type=Application:missing create method
I have searched the Weblogic Documentation and have found only general information on how to use wlconfig with a simple example that does not touch on application deployment. I have also found an MBean Reference but am unclear as to how to marry the two.
It would be really great if someone knew where I might find a concrete example of creating an Enterprise application using WL10.
Here is the current wlconfig task that we use successfully in weblogic 8.

As I mentioned earlier right now this fails with when trying to create the WebAppComponent as seen in the error message above.
Thanks for any help you can provide.Here's a couple ideas:
1. Easier, but with non-deterministic response time: Wire the button up to one of your I/O pins and poll it. When you detect the button, issue a software call to stop the pulse train. If the duration of the button press may be short compared to your polling rate, then wire it to a counter source pin and perform edge counting. When you poll any value > 0, the press has happened. (Sometimes the value may be >1 if the switch has "bounce").
2. Trickier, but with deterministic hardware timing: Configure another counter, call it counter B, for triggered pulse generation. Wire/configure the button as the trigger. Make sure that the "high time" of the pulse is long enough to let your software respond, if needed. Also configure your original continuous pulse train counter to use Ctr B's output as a "pause trigger", specifying to pause when high. When the button is pressed, counter B will fire a pulse and that pulse will inhibit your original counter's pulse generation. In short, the pulses will stop until counter B's pulse has completed its full duration. Your software can monitor for this series of events and stop the original counter task if needed.
