OBIEE support a Postgres database as a data source?

Hello
We put in place a reporting project from the OBIEE 11 g of solution.
Our desire to use a PostgreSQL 9.0 DB as a source of data instead of a DB Oracle...
Before you start the development phase, we want to check if PostgreSQL is supported by OBIEE (for example an incident can we rely on the customer support option, bought by the user).
We read in the documentation, we can use an ODBC connector to connect to a database, but in another document, there is no find Postgres between the source of data of database supported by OBIEE (DB2, MS SQLserver...)
Kind regards

  • "Database Config" vs "data source Configuration.

    In the Configuration utility for 9.3.1 What are the differences between "Database Config" and "data source Configuration.

    After running 'Config database' itl has created about 10 HSPsys_ * tables in the database of PLANSYS. It seems to me that this is where the planning and data source information instance are stored

    "Data source configuration. created about 30 HSP_ * tables in PLAN2.
    It seems that is where the application tables are stored, am I right?
    When you run "Configure data source", I shouldn't use PLANSYS database to store my tables for the application I'm good? Otherwise I would have problems with future migration, am I right?

    Hello

    Database config set up tables for the planning system to use this database schema / should be separated from the application planning.
    "Data source configuration" - configure just details about your connection to the planning application details, e.g. connections details to the repository and essbase. It stores this information in your planning system database.

    Once you create a planning application he uses the information from the data source to create the planning and application of all the tables in the database

  • Create the data source NoSQL Oracle using Oracle Weblogic 11 g

    Hello

    I'm working on a VINE by which I want to connect NoSQL Oracle database with Oracle Weblogic11g as a new source of data in Oracle Database 11 g of accompaniment.

    So my question is that Oracle Weblogic 11 g support NoSQL Oracle database as a data source OR can I plug NoSQL Oracle database as the source of data with Oracle Weblogic11g?

    Thank you...

    Hello

    By 'data source' I assume you mean a JDBC data source. Is this fair?

    If so, please be aware that NoSQL DB does not support SQL or JDBC, although these features can be added in the future. Currently, to access data in the NoSQL database from your application, you must use the Java APIs in the pilot of the client which is included in the package. Please see the Starter Guide for more information.

    That answer your question?

  • stupid questions on the use of mds-GOSA/bip_datasource data sources.

    Dear gurus,
    I'm confused about the use of some as securities data sources.
    And what is the relationship of them with RPD source data/connection pool setting?

    As I found in the turning performance guide, while I can't find where is the caller / user of these data sources and never mentioned turning guide turning data sources RPD which I think is more important...

    So I think I must have Miss understanding of something, need your help!

    Michael

    Hi Michael,

    The data sources mds-GOSA/bip_datasource etc. are for the weblogic server access to the metadata of Fusion Middleware.

    If you remember, we had used the RCU to create a repository of information of configuration settings, host of Fusion Middleware /product information/versions etc in a separate database, and these data sources are created in weblogic, and the different products that we install, in this case OBIEE/RTD/BIPublisher etc. can interact between them, transparently and through weblogic.

    Since then, it is the common platform (application server) on which all products have been deployed, it is necessary that we tune elsewhere too for optimal performance from the Infrastructure point of view.

    Now, the connection pool of the physical layer in our .rpd is all about access to data, and so the setting guide does not, in this regard because it is completely dependent on the type of data source, network interfaces of appeal, not concurrrent users, total dashboards, reports etc etc which is dependent demand.

    The setting guide is all about the setting of the Middleware Infrastructure + optimal settings for middleware (middleware) only.

    Hope that I was clear.

  • Purge the database postgres VCSA 5.5 data (tables vpx_event & vpx_event_arg)?

    Someone at - it instructions for the removal of the entries in the vpx_event & vpx_event_arg for the postgres database tables in VCSA 5.5? Due to a bad person designed the monitoring scripts, we have 18 million rows in the vpx_event_arg table and looks like it is the root cause of our recent problems with the VCSA.

    I see several KB articles on how to purge the data from MS SQL Server, but not instructions for Postgres.  So the same manully kickoff roll-up scripts. I've updated the retention policy of database from 180 to 90 days, but there is still 18 M records in the table. Cannot find how to manually start the rolling script for postgres.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Michael

    Could not find a clean way to purge the data from the table, so we finished truncating the entire table. I poured both the vpx_event and the tables of vpx_event_arg for archival purposes and then did:

    /opt/VMware/vpostgres/1.0/bin/psql d VCDB vc

    Enter the password

    then:

    TRUNCATE TABLE vpx_event WATERFALL;

    It takes only a minute and of course we were back in business and the performance was back to normal.

  • Increased support of Type of object in Data Modeler

    Hello

    It is a matter primarily for the development team to shape data as well as the Group of tools. First of all, the production of Data Modeler 3.0 version is very nice and improvements in data types on which was in EA1 are large. Thanks for adding to the support of the domain to the definition, attributes and parameters for methods which makes life much simpler and opens the door to a range more wide object type modelling and ease of implementations because consistency can now be maintained much easier through areas. Support for the smoothing of lines is also impressive. It is the best app that I've seen, even better than what we had in the Design Editor in the Oracle Designer, Bravo still once the team which built the diagrammer interfaces.

    My question is, going forward will be Data Modeler has continued to be improved to fully support the Oracle objects and object relational (OR) model? I ask this question because as users of Oracle RDBMS, we do not have a tool that allows to fully model and implement the functionality provided by the server group in the field of object-relational features. Oracle Designer had a capacity of modeling of GOLD, but the end of the product life has stopped any further development. One of the common excuses is there is no request for the market for object - relational modeling. I would say, that the absence of the market demand for object - relational applications is because we have never had a tool that fully supports the relational Oracle - model object. Nor do we have a development tool that allows us to implement a fully developed relational Oracle - model object. The Tools group stopped the development of Oracle Forms support for nested objects and collections. The LOV REF columns feature is quite impressive, but we are unable to get nested collections, still less a nested collection of REFs.

    So as a member of the end user community, we are stuck in this Catch 22. The server group continues to support and improve the object - model relationship, but the tools and modelling groups have not kept with the tools to model or to implement the features and the features supported by the database. As a result, we have a partially constructed set of tools that allows you to scratch the surface of the object - model relationship, but is not able to take full advantage of the powerful features of legacy, legacy and extensive collections, the ability to inherit and extend methods, etc...

    The object - relational model introduced with Oracle8, 10g solved the problem of evolution of type which has made the implementation of the production of realistic objects. My question is; Data Modeler is finally going to fully support the relational Oracle - model object? If until the end user community, we finally get a tool that totally supported the model of GOLD, finally, we will be able to model, generate and deploy applications that will in turn create this market demand which is lacking for the relational model object.

    Thanks in advance,
    ACE

    Hi Ace,

    Thanks for the good words.

    will be the Data Modeler has continued to be improved to fully support the Oracle objects and object relational (OR) model?

    Short time - Yes. What do you want Besides lack of support now nested columns (and related to these constraints, including the PK constraint) and the generation of the 'Alter Instructions?

  • "BOLD" is supported by two streams of source with data source?

    I created a data source with two streams of source - one for audio and one for video. During the init data source, the streams of the two sources are created. When dataSource.start () is called, my application call start() of the two source Brooks.  When the player calls getStreams(), the soft returns an array containing the two water courses.

    However, once started, the player only calls the first stream's read() method. In other words, the read() method second flow is never called.

    Are several stream source by source of data supported by RIM, in particular on "BOLD"? I tested on v4.6.0.304 9000 "BOLD".

    Anyone know it?

    Thank you

    11.1.1.7.1 use the jdbc_sid syntax, i.e.

    as described in the README file, mypdb1.foo.com

    -Sources of native data (no container) MapViewer can now use the service name of database instead of SID. To provide a db service name, you will use the same attribute of jdbc_sid, but specify the name of the service with double slashes in front, as follows:

    jdbc_host = "foo.com"

    jdbc_sid="//mypdb1.foo.com".

    jdbc_port = '1522 '.

    ... ...

    />

    Use a container_ds to the 11.1.1.7.0.

    that is, instead of using

    jdbc_host = "mydbinstance".

    jdbc_sid = "pdborcl12c".

    jdbc_port = '1522 '.

    jdbc_user = "mytestuser".

    jdbc_password = "m2E7T48U3LfRjKwR0YFETQcjNb4gCMLG8/X0KWjO00Q ="

    jdbc_mode = 'thin '.

    number_of_mappers = "6".

    allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi = "false".

    Editable = "false".

    />

    use

    container_ds = "jdbc/db12c.

    number_of_mappers = "6".

    allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi = "false".

    Editable = "false".

    />

    In my case the Glassfish 3.1.2.2 JDBC connection pool definition has been

    Property

    URL jdbc:oracle:thin:@mydbinstance:1522/pdborcl12c.rest_of.service.name

    Uncheck the wrap JDBC objects in advanced Panel, that is, the page properties change JDBC connection advanced pool.

    Add a resource to that newly created JDBC pool

  • OIM 11 g database using Active Data Guard recovery

    Hello

    Someone did he do IOM database failover configuration using the active data guard.

    Here are the details
    • Two application in primary servers and one in secondary sites
    • Two databases one in primary and the secondary sites.
    • Two application servers point to the primary database.
    • There is an Active Data Guard set up between primary and secondary data.
    • Secondary database is in stand-by mode.
    • Unique CNAME is configured and actively points to the primary database.
    • Failover of the database, the principal is down and the secondary database is marketed as primary and CNAME is changed to point to the secondary database.
    • All the data sources in Weblogic are configured to use CNAME.

    The problem here is the SID. In the primary, we have JSQOIM1P and in the secondary, the SID is JSQOIMDR.

    So when we switch the error we get is unknown TNS name like Weblogic data sources don't know the JSQOIMDR.

    How do configure us the failover in this scenario?

    Thank you
    Kunal jegou

    Hello

    I was able to achieve this by setting up a unique service name pointing to the primary db SID and the same name of unique service on the secondary db pointing to the db secondary sid.

    For the benefit of the users of the forum.
    CNAME - usoimdb pointing to primaryDBHost and can be changed to secondaryDBHost in the case of DR
    Service name - usoimdbsvc pointing to primaryDBSID and usoimdbsvc to secondaryDBSID on secondary db use

  • Database and data source in the planning application

    Hi the Hyperion gods.
    In the process of creating, planning an application and create the data source, I'm a bit confused.
    Creating data source, it must give a name for the DATA SOURCE and a DESCRIPTION, and under the APPLICATION of DATA base, we need to specify things such as - platform DATABASE, SERVERNAME, PORT, database, USER and PASSWORD.
    I was wondering if someone could give me a good idea about the difference between the DATA source and DATABASE in this context.
    Since I am migrating the entire application and the structure of the cube from one server to another, do I need to appoint exactly the same (except for the name of the server)?
    Thanks for your comments.

    a data source is just a name for your connection information to the relational database and essbase who will use your planning application, I usually keep the data source name that is identical to the name of the application so do not become confused.
    Database platform is the type of database, for example, Oracle, SQL Server, the server name is the hostname for the relational database, data is the name of the relational database, I think the rest should be pretty obvious, but if you want more detailed information have a read of http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/hp_admin_11122/app_dsc.html
