What is Catalog Crawler in OBIEE?

I would like to know what is catalog crawler in obiee 11g. The reason I am looking for the details is there are couple of core dumps created by catalog crawler in obiee.
Thanks,
Anil

Hello,
In a last few days catalogcrawler created several core dumps in my 11.1.1.5 OBIEE installation , on AIX. Any input would be appreciated, Can not find much on that subject on oracle support site or on the web. Also, do not see any errors reported in EM.

What are Catalog Views

Hi,
I am working on an internet sales application with back end as SAP R/3. We are not supposed to use CRM. Can someone tell me what are Catalog Views and why and how we use them? Where do we create them? Please respond as I am completely new in this area.
Any help will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks,
ibrahim

Dear Ibrahim
You can think of 'Catalog Views' as a filter on Product Catlog that allows a company to present a specific view of the catalog to a specific /group of its customers. It is more extensively used in case of B2B scenarios where a company might have different prices for same / different set of products for its customers. Each of its customers will have access to a view that has been assigned to him explicitly.
In CRM , you can create a view and assign this view to a BP or to a target group. For each view, you can define a diffent prices and assign products from catalog as per business requirement. when a B2B user logs into the web shop, he will see the view assigned to him. This way it is possible to present two different set of products to two different web shop users !!
In comparison with VERSION, which is a mandatory for a product catalog, Catalog view is optional. Catalog Version is also a kind of filter in catalog.
The concept is the same in R/3 as well but implementation is very much different. As Wim has pointed that Catalog view is created on the fly in R/3 - which is not the case in SAP CRM.
hope this helps you

Cannot access catalog Manager in OBIEE 11g

When I used OBIEE 10g, I was able to access the Catalog Manager from windows if I installed the Admin Tools.
Now that I am using 11g and dowloaded the Admin Tools for 11g... I no longer see catalog Manager.
I use this often to move reports from one catalog to another. What can I do???
Environmet:
Application Server: Linux Oracle Linix R5U4
Database Linix Server Oracle 11g.2.0.3
OBIEE 11.1.1.5
Tyhank you
Steve Brault

It is also available in 11g also with server installation. you might need to navigate to the following folder
Windows: ORACLE_INSTANCE\bifoundation\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\catalogmanager\runcat.cmd
Linux : ORACLE_INSTANCE/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/catalogmanager/runcat.sh
Thanks

How to or what to install to install OBIEE on the oAS

Hello all,
I want to install OBIEE in the oracle Application Server. But I don't know exactly which software I have to install. I tried a couple of things.
But when I choose advanced during the OBIEE install and choose for application server. It's nagging that I didn't installed a application server.
I noticed there are a lot of things, which are 'application server'
so can anyone tell me what I have to install, and what I have to choose during installing it?
KR,
Remc0

Hi Remco,
I have installed OBIEE on Oracle Application Server once. I downloaded Oracle Application SOA Suite 10.1.3.x, I did an Advanced Install and selected then I choose for the option J2EE Server + Web server, so without the SOA Suite component. Then you can install OBIEE on top of it by doing an Advanced OBIEE install.

Object Level security by creating catalog groups in OBIEE-10G

Hi All,
I have a requirement to display the dashboard based on the user login. Ex. Mike belongs to HR, Smith belongs to Accounts
When Mike logs in he should see only these three dashboards. HR View, Common data1, common data2. When Smith logs in he should see only these three dashboards. Accounts view, Common data1, commondata2.
The commondata1 and commondata2 dashboards has common reports for all the departments. The other dashboards are department specific with all different reports. How can I implement this?
From one of my earlier posts I was advised to do it using Object Level security by creating catalog groups. Can you please provide me end to end instructions on how to create Object level security based on catalog groups.
Thanks for your time and help.

Hi,
Mike to HR
Smit - Account
Yes, You achive by Object Level security by creating catalog groups
1) Create Catalog group and users in RPD part(Ex: Account_grp,HR_grp)
2)assign user to that particular group(let say Ex: Account_grp= Smith and HR_grp=Mike )
3) login (Admin user id ) into dashboard page and --->mange dashboard page -->add users to that particular
dashboard to relevent users and save it then
try to login that mike and smith user it will work

What is version control in obiee

Hi,
I am new to OBIEE, Can any one please tell me in detail About Version control in OBIEE

Version Control is all about managing the changes to RPD and Catalog. having timely backups as version just in case if any time system crashes.
For OBIEE 10 refer this.
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2009/01/simple-version-control-for-obiee-using-subversion-visualsvn-server-and-tortoisesvn/
For obiee 11g internally maintains RPD version control, refer 11g documentation about it.

Automate RPD and Catalog Patching in OBIEE 11G

Is it possible to automate the patching process with scripting? This would be the complete cycle: compare, generate xml patch and apply patch. I see that I can script the applying of the patch but need to be able to script the compare.

Yes, You could accomplish this using the OBIEE 11g scripts.
The one place you may want to reconsider the "complete cycle" is when it comes to actually patching the production RPD via automated fashion. I would leave that to remain as a manual redeployment after the patching to some stage folder/area, then manually deploy the RPD. This way you are certain to retain the incremental versioning that is now provided in the Fusion Console EM, etc.

What is web server in obiee

thanks in advance
regards
frnds

There are other Web Application Servers (*) you can use as well. In general any J2EE Web App Server is supported. We use JBoss for instance.
(*) Web Server is not the same as Web Application Server. Apache is a Web Server, whereas Tomcat is a Web Application Server. Web Servers only support static pages and server side scripting languages whereas Web Application Servers also support Web Applications (i.e. a J2EE Web Application).
