Hi there owain11,
It looks like that particular error may be realted to a hardware issue. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Last Year Inovice Total need to be calculated in a new column in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have a measure Net Invoiced Amount, and now my client is asking to get a new column in which last year's Net Invoiced Amount total needs to be calculated.
We need to select the Dates dynamically, it is 2012, so the column should the invoiced amount total for 2011, if it is 2013 then amount should be 2012. Can we do this in RPD. If so, please tell me how.

Hi,
Method1:
TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_DAY , -1, TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_DAY , EXTRACT( DAY_OF_YEAR FROM DATE Column) * -(1) + 1,
DATE Column))
Note: create alias table from your fact (call it as fact table name_YTD) Join th aliases to the dimension tables exactly like how your normal fact table is joined to the aliases, except for the time dimension.
Method 2: by using Time series functions (Ago fxn)
Ago(<<Measure>>, <<Level>>, <<Number of Periods>>)
Example:Ago("Human Resources"."Fact - Absence"."# Days" , "Human Resources"."Time"."Year" , 1)
Method 3: if your using obiee11g --> from analysis itself you cand solve it
AGO(expr, [time_level], offset)
Thanks

Hi,
As per my understanding I think YTD means JAN to current date result. I means say if user enter 062005 then result in YTD should be from 012005 to 062005.
And to do this you need to write a customer exit variable where LOW field of internal table you will put JAN year and HIGH will contain month year entered by user.
Hope this will help you.

Need help on install OBIEE 11g

Hi I installed OBIEE11g on windows 2008
However, the last step of OCM fails.
Then, I cannot find any service that I need to start or stop got register.
So if I install OCM, would it install the service for that?
Also it says the work-around is to install OCM kit.
I go to the edelivery.oracle.com but I have difficulties pin point the media pack that contain the OCM kit
any help I am very grateful
yours sincerely

Point 4.16.3
=======
Oracle Configuration Manager May Fail:
When installing Oracle Database 11g, the configuration step which installs and configures Oracle Configuration Manager (OCM) may fail on Windows 64-bit platforms. OCM attempts to create a service named OraclehomeNameConfigurationManager, where homeName is the user-specified name for the database install home. In some cases, OCM is unable to retrieve the home name from the Windows registry. This causes a premature exit from the OCM configuration procedure.
Workaround: If you encounter this issue, you can download the latest OCM kit from OracleMetaLink and install it following the instructions provided on the OracleMetaLink Web site.
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 6172972.

I can't seem to get my application to work with the 10.2 client. I've heard that OO4O is not supported past 10.2 x86. First question is can someone clarify this - should I be able to use OO4O from Oracle version 10.2 on a Windows 7 x64 box? If so I need to know the specifics. My development machine is Windows XP and 10.2 works there but it's an x86 box.
>
First you should consider marking this question ANSWERED and reposting it in the Oracle forum for OO4O and Wizards.
OO4O and Wizards [ARCHIVE]
If you know anything at all about Oracle your knowledge should include the fact that if it isn't on the Official release notes it isn't supported.
The last release of OO4O (10.1.0.5.2) was March 2005 and these are the release notes
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/downloads/relnotes-435165.html
>
Oracle Objects for OLE (OO4O) Release Notes
Release 10.1.0.5.2
March 2005
System Requirements
Operating System: Windows NT 4.0 SP6a, Windows 2000 SP1, Windows XP, Windows 2003.
32-bit application capable of OLE scripting (e.g. Visual Basic, Excel, etc.) or supported C++ compiler (Microsoft Visual C++).
Access to an Oracle8i, Oracle9i or Oracle10g database through a local connection or a network using the Net client. Oracle Net will need to be installed when accessing the Oracle database through a network.
Oracle 10.1.0.2.0 client.
>
So there are two things working against you: no mention of Windows 7 (it didn't exist) and the client mentioned is 10.1.0.2.0 not 10.2.xxx
So even if you think it is working chances are it isn't working properly.
>
Second question - what are my workarounds? I assume there is another Oracle Object I can use for basic database communications. What is that object, and what types of changes am I going to have to make to my code in order to use it?
>
Who knows? Without knowing what functionality you are using and relying on there isn't any way to know what workarounds might be available or what changes you will need to make.

How to deploy custom HTML Help files in OBIEE 11g

Hi gurus,
I have question regarding deploying Custom HTML files in OBIEE 11.1.1.5, i tried to place files under
Middleware/Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/web/app/olh/l_en and tried to access with below URL after bounce Weblogic...but no luck.
http://hostnmame:9704/analytics/olh/l_en/lOfferExpert_Help.htm
Can some one give some pointers to appropriate documentation of achieving this?
thanks
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
I am thinking deploying these html files as a part of separate application in weblogic might be another approach. This process is like
1. Making a .war(.ear) of your html
2. Deploying the .war in weblogic through deployments as an application with an application context.
3. Referencing the files in analytics or even outside just through a url.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

Help needed in oracle 11g soa suite.........(BPEL Process manager)

we tried to download bpel process manager 11g but as per oracle it is under Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1 so we have downloaded the same also.....*
but the problem is agter installation we are not getting anuthing called oracle bpel process manager and also we are not able to run soa suite..........*
Can you please suggest how we can install the same or is there any other way so that we can run bpel process manager.*

Hi,
Download SOA 11.1.1.2.0 from OTN.
1. Don't forget to download RCU (Repository Configuration Utility). It is an extractable zip folder. Extract it. Navigate to its bin folder. Invoke rcu.sh/rcu.bat. It will open RCU. Choose Create. Enter your db details. In the next screen, choose SOA Infrastructure schema. Provide a schema prefix. Default would be 'DEV'. Proceed with further steps.
2. After installing 11gR1, navigate to your $ORACLE_HOME/common/bin
Invoke config.sh/config.cmd based on your OS. This will open the configuration wizard.
Choose create domain option. Enter the domain name. Select the templates: SOA Suite and Enterprise Manager. In the JDBC Datasources screen, enter the SOA schema information, db details. Complete the wizard. No need to customize anything else. This will create a SOA Domain.
3. Run the setNMProps.sh/cmd from $MW_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin folder.
4. Navigate to $MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/bin. Execute startNodeManager.sh/cmd. This will start the node manager.
5. Now navigate to your $DOMAIN_HOME. You will be able to find startWeblogic.cmd/sh file. Execute it. This will start your Admin Server.
6. Once the server started, login to WLS Admin Console (http://host:7001/console). Navigate to Servers. Click on Control tab. Select soa_server1. Start the server.
This will start the SOA server. To test your soa is up, access the url http://host:8001/soa-infra
There is no BPEL Console/ ESB Console / OWSM console in 11g. Everything is managed from your EM. EM url would be http://host:admin_server_port/em (http://host:7001/em)

Help needed in OIM 11g with respect to Target Recon

Hi Experts,
I have OIM 11.1.1.5.0 installed with AD Connector configured. We have 3 AD instances, so we have cloned the full AD Connector to "A_AD_RO User", "B_AD_RO User" and "C_AD_RO User" resourced with separate-separate Process defn, scheduled task, lookups and IT resource
When I am doing target recon based on "emailID" as key from respective ID, the reconciliation events gets generated and I can see the event in Recon Manager with "No Match Found", even though the user with valid email id is present in the OIM.
Once I do re-evaluate of reconciled user, the user target gets linked with the correct user.
Problem: Everytime, I need to go to Recon Manager, and manually click on "Reevaluate Event", then only the target AD is getting linked to user.
How to set it automatically?
Has anyone faced this kind of issue?
Any suggestion which I can apply to skip "Reevaluate Event" manually to link user with target.
Regards,
J
Edited by: J_IDM on Mar 19, 2012 6:35 AM

A few things to check.
On the resource object, reconciliation tab. Check the recon action rules. The Entity Match is the one that matches a user to the target data if the user does not have an instance on their profile.
Check your reconciliation rules. Make sure that you have a rule for each resource, and that it is in an active state. Also make sure the rule is a valid matching rule.
For each resource workflow, there are configuration lookups. You must be VERY careful when cloning a resource to go through every lookup that is duplicated and make sure the values are all for the new resources.
It sounds like you used the same adapters for every instance. This will cause a problem because there are hard coded form values in the adapter, so you will need to change those to have an input so you can specify the value for each instance. Otherwise, every provisioning task will look for the objectguid from the original workflow.
There are lots of updates you must perform to make sure they work correctly during a clone.
Once you have done all these, try and run your recons again, and make sure you wait till the recon completes so it processes the events in the correct bulk amounts.

Help needed for OIM 11g

Hi All,
I have a requirement to develop SPML webservices for Create User, Modify user, Password Set, Forgotten Password on OIM11g.
These WebServices will be called from some portal.
Can anyone guide me how to start with it?
I am new to WebServices on OIM so I need some guide or documentation available on net.
Regads,
J
Edited by: J_IDM on Mar 17, 2011 3:08 AM

*10G*
SPML in OIM by default would give you everything that you require. I don't know you have seen this document or not:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14049_01/doc.9101/e14067/spml.htm#sthref97
Refer section *12 SPML Web Service* and also *12.7 Developing the Client for the SPML Web Service*
The former section talks about the sample wsdl and sample http requests format which are supposed to be generated from your client and the latter talks about the actual client. Find related java code and sample files in Xellerate\SPMLWS folder. Everything would be there.
To start with, try your hands on this sample data and see if you can get SPML working. Once through bundle this sample client code to your actual
*11G*
The older version of OIM 10G was a little more detailed in this regard and the integration with SPML appeared a little easy. Although the features in 11G looks mroe exhaustive but unluckily the documentation also looks like limited.
By the the operations which might cover your requirements could be:
- addRequest for Create User
- modifyRequest for Modify user, Password Set, Forgotten Password
I would do 'Password Set & Forgotten Password' to behave in the same way.
To start with I would use a tool like soapUI to point to the existing 11G wsdl and see what I can do with it:
http://HOST_NAME:PORT/spml-xsd/SPMLService?WSDL
Once clear, create another hosted SPML webservice and assign an end-point URL.
