I followed all the steps described here:
http://obieetutorialguide.blogspot.be/2015/04/write-back-setting-in-obiee-11g.html
to be able to write back in an analyse where I do a "direct database request".
unfortunately the "write back" functionality stays grey and I can't check it.
Is it possible to writeback in a direct database request- analyse?
Combining two of the decidedly "outlying" technologies inside of OBI in one single attempt - that is direct DB request and write-back - clearly shows one thing:
You aren't using the tool for what it was built: analytics.
What you want to do is probably right up the alley of Oracle APEX. Basically just a web application for data entry.

I have this use case, where I have created server side views on sync gateway based on a rolling time window of 10 days. Is there a way to directly pull those on my device side?
When I look at the documentation, I see that there's no way these can be replicated directly and one needs to make REST calls:
http://developer.couchbase.com/documentation/mobile/1.2/develop/guides/sync-gateway/accessing-cb-views/index.html
Is that assumption correct?
The other approach I saw was that let all the data be replicated on the client side and then write Couchbase lite views on the client side using Map reduce functions. Which one's the correct approach out of the 2?
Yes I believe that your assumption is correct - views have to be queried directly via the public REST API. I also believe that your solution for syncing data and then querying it on the client side will also work.
In order to find the "correct approach" I would consider your app needs and deployment workflow:
Using view on the server will require:
Managing (CRUD) of the views in SG - similar to managing functions in a database. These would ideally be managed by some deployment / management code.
Clients need to be able to make the API call to the public interface to access view info. This then requires a cache to work offline.
Slicing data locally means that sync will bring down all data and the device will have to perform the search / slice / aggregation previously carried out by the server. This will:
Work offline.
Put a potential extra strain on the app device.
I don't think that there are any easy answers here - ideally views would be synced to the device, but I don't know if that's even possible with the current SG implementation.
(Note 1: that the views must be created in Sync Gateway via the admin REST interface and not through the Couchbase web interface.).
(Note 2: I'm a server-side programmer, so this view is tainted.)
What I ended up doing was writing webhooks, which basically let me have the same docs replicated onto a Couchbase server. Then I did all needed aggregations and pushed those to syn gatewy(which got replicated to the app).
May or mayn't be right but works for my case....
I have installed ISIM 6.0 with a fix pack 6. After installing the FixPack i was able to view the request of any activity performed in ISIM, but now View All Request tab doesn't show list of requests however the transactions are going through fine. Please suggest ?
That usually means that ISIM web app cannot read the requests from the database.
I would enable DEBUG_MAX level in enRoleLogging.properties
file in order to see the exact request made to the database and try to perform the same SQL query manually.
I believe the component needed is
logger.trace.com.ibm.itim.util.level
But you can try setting the level to DEBUG_MAX for all
Then check your trace.log file(s). The location depends on your installation, more details can be found here :https://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/mobile/#!/SSRMWJ_6.0.0/com.ibm.isim.doc_6.0/trouble/cpt/cpt_ic_trouble_itimop_logs.htm
Also check the log files of your isim DB.
Hint: The only time I have come across this exact issue was after an upgrade where the tenant got changed from dc=com to DC=COM. It's a common misconception that the tenant is case-insensitive as we tend to associate this to the LDAP, but it affects SQL queries also (and those are case-sensitive).
ilektrojohn's answer should help you but anyways I have faced this couple of times in earlier stage and hence posting it. Usually its a slight mistake, and we forget to update the Time Interval or Request Type fields. Set them to wider range like this week or this month. Also expand the More search criteria and remove any added filters that might be restricting the search results.
Oracle applications 11.5.7 with Forms Server 6 - is there any way to programmatically send data from the client to the server, as if they were coming from the client forms?
This is an old version but am stuck with it for now.
I guess this is an Oracle internal protocol which details how a client JVM sends data across the network to the forms server to get it to accept user input. But can I simulate this, at least for simple data input - my goal would be to get mass data input done in a programmatic fashion rather than having to use either the Oracle forms or get an Oracle specialist to do a custom-loader for me, which is likely to be exorbitantly expensive.
I looked already at "generic" input loaders for BOMs, routings, costs etc, such as apps4more.com, but they won't support 11.5.7. The only one I found so far which would support 11.5.7 was exorbitantly expensive.
Have you tried Forms Playback?
You can record Forms actions to file and playback it later. It can be useful if you just need to redo the same activity on diffrent instances. File is plaintext, but unfortunatly format is quite difficult and it is not easy to generate it by means other than record...
So I've started using MvcMiniProfiler on our websites and quite like it. We have a Windows Application component/framework that is leveraged by the website and I was wondering if it was possible to use the profiler on that. I'm assuming not, but maybe there is a subcomponent of the code that could be used? I see that there is a way to configure where the results are stored (i.e. Sql Server) so maybe it is close to possible?
We have the following flow:
Website submits job to 'broker' then returns a 'come back later' page.
Broker runs and eventually data in the websites database gets updated by the broker.
Website displays the results.
I'd be great if there was a way I could get the entire workflow profiled. If there is no way/no intentions from the developers to make MvcMiniProfiler available to Windows applications, any recommendations for similar styled profilers?
You could get this working by using SqlServerStorage, there is very little in the code base that heavily depends on ASP.NET, in fact the SQL interceptor is generalized and so it the stack used to capture the traces.
I imagine that a few changes internally need to be made, eg: use Thread.SetData as opposed to HttpContext but they are pretty superficial.
The way you would get this going is by passing the "profiling identity" into the App and then continuing tracking there. Eventually when the user hits the site after it happens, it would show up as little "chiclets" on the left side.
A patch is totally welcome here but it is not something it does in its current version.
(note to future readers, this is probably going to be out of date at some point, if it is please suggest an edit)
Yes, there's a Windows porting of MiniProfiler: http://nootn.github.io/MiniProfiler.Windows/
I have an existing application written in Perl. Now I need to integrate this application with OBI. The plan is having a button the user can click on to open OBI in an iframe. OBI resides on a different server from the running application.
Has anyone done this before, know what is the best practice for doing this, and what is the effort of doing this?
Another question is is it possible to add customizations to the OBI displayed in the iframe.?
There are two ways to address the problem that I know of and tried out. According to your needs, one or the other might be more appropriate (or both, they're not mutually exclusive). In both cases, the documentation is good and readily available.
The "Go URL"
The Go URL is documented more thoroughly in the Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation Services Administration Guide. It provides a quick and easy interface to the reports you've already defined, in the form of a URL. All that's needed to get it running is to fill in a few query parameters to direct to the report you want. You might need to include authentication tokens too.
Pros: very easy to try out.
Cons: harder to get security right.
The web services
The presentation server comes with a series of web services that enable a more programmatic way of querying your repository. The functionality offered through this channel goes further: for example most catalog management, including report creation and editing is possible. The full list fills a guide of its own: the Oracle Business Intelligence Web Services Guide.
Pros: better integration (i.e., no need for an IFRAME); easier to get the security right.
Cons: harder to setup; lots of XML; more advanced features (e.g. in-place drilldown) need an HTTP bridge that was a bitch to get right in my case. The generated HTML might clash a bit with yours and require cleaning up, notably in the CSS.
Embedding OBIEE reports inside a non-ADF web app is tough. If you have an option to re-write your web application in ADF, your life will be a lot easier. Just drag and drop reports and visualizations into your web application. Oracle's own Fusion Applications also follow this approach. If your app is analytics heavy, it might be a good option to explore. Here's a link to the Oracle doc.
