6 1 Data access basics Overview Overview Data access for Web Intelligence is managed by Connection Server. Connection Server is the Business Objects software layer that creates and manages connections used by universes between BusinessObjects data access drivers and target RDBMS middleware. Connection Server and the required data access components are automatically installed when you install Web Intelligence or Designer. This chapter introduces Connection Server. The following topics are described: Introducing Connection Server and data access drivers Connecting to your data Data access drivers What data access files are installed? Note: $INSTALLDIR variable in this guide In this guide the variable $INSTALLDIR is the install root path for the data access files used by Designer and Web Intelligence. This is the Business Objects installation path with the operating system sub directory that contains the Designer executable and the data access drivers. Under Windows$INSTALLDIR = \\...\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11\win32_x86. For example C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11\win32_x86. Introducing Connection Server and data access drivers Universes access data in relational databases by using a connection to the data source middleware. A connection is a defined set of parameters between a BusinessObjects data access driver and a target middleware. A data access driver is the software layer that maps the SQL definitions and functions defined in the middleware to equivalent structures and parameters in a universe. 4 Data Access Guide

7 Data access basics Introducing Connection Server and data access drivers 1 Each connection between a data access driver and a RDBMS middleware is managed and controlled by a Business Objects data access management tool called Connection Server. What is Connection Server? Connection Server is the BusinessObjects data access management software that is installed automatically with one or more data access drivers for your RDBMS. Connection Server is installed by default with WebIntelligence and Designer. Connection Server allows InfoView and WebIntelligence users to connect to and run queries against a relational data source, whether it is a corporate database or a repository. How do you access Connection Server features? Connection Server does not have a user interface. You create and administer connections from the user interface of Designer. Creating connections You create connections using a connection wizard available from Designer. You can administer certain connection parameters from the Connection dialog box (Tools > Connections). See the chapter Creating connections on page 13 for more information on creating connections. Administering connection deployment In a WebIntelligence deployment, Connection Server is installed automatically with both these products. Each node in a cluster that has either of these products installed, also includes a Connection Server layer. Optimizing data access You can optimize the way that data is passed through Connection Server by modifying SQL and data access parameter files. These are files in XML format that are installed with Connection Server. You can edit these files to optimize values for parameters specific to a RDBMS, or general parameters that apply to all installed data access drivers. For information on data access drivers, see the section Data access drivers on page 7. Data Access Guide 5

8 1 Data access basics Connecting to your data For information on editing data access parameters files to optimize data access, see the sections: Optimizing data access by editing data access parameter files on page 38 Setting data access SQL parameters (PRM) on page 69 Setting data access driver configuration parameters (SBO) on page 95 Setting data access general configuration parameters (CFG) on page 109. Using connection management tools with Connection Server Connection management utilities that allow you to check and trace connection processes are installed with Connection Server. You run these applications from a command line. Using these utilities is described in the chapter Managing data access on page 27. Connecting to your data A connection allows WebIntelligence users to access data in a target RDBMS. What is a connection? A connection is a named set of parameters that defines how Web Intelligence accesses data in a database file. It is the link between a universe, a data access driver, your middleware, and your database. You must have a valid connection between your target universe and your database in order to access your data. A connection is made up of the following elements: Connection element Data access driver Connection and login parameters Connection type BusinessObjects software layer that connects a universe to your middleware. Connection parameters that allow the data access driver to connect to the target database middleware. These parameters include Connection user name, password, and data source name. Type of connection that determines who can use it. A connection can be personal, shared, or secured. 6 Data Access Guide

9 Data access basics Data access drivers 1 Pre-requisites to creating a connection? To create a connection you must have the following: middleware information about your database server Designer installed BusinessObjects data access driver Connection workflow overview The following is an overview of the process that you follow to create a connection. Creating connections is fully described in the chapter Creating connections on page 13. Ensure that you have all the information necessary to access your database. Install middleware so that you can access your database through either your computer or a server. Install Business Objects products and the appropriate data access driver. Using the New Connection wizard accessible from Designer, you connect your middleware to your data access driver. Make any necessary modifications to optimize the connection parameters. You can customize certain parameters from the Connection Wizard. Data access drivers Other parameters can be customized in the SQL parameter file associated with the data access driver. This file is called the <driver>.prm file. See the chapter Setting data access SQL parameters (PRM) on page 69 for information on editing the PRM file for your data access driver. Many SQL generation parameters can also be set at the universe level from Designer. See the chapter Setting universe dynamic SQL parameters on page 55 for information. A data access driver is the BusinessObjects software layer that connects a universe to your middleware. Data Access Guide 7

10 1 Data access basics What data access files are installed? Data access drivers are shipped with Business Objects products. There is a data access driver for each supported middleware. When you install Business Objects products, your data access key determines which data access drivers are installed. When you create a new connection, you select the appropriate data access driver for the RDBMS middleware that you use to connect to the target RDBMS. For example, if you access an Oracle 8i database, you must install the appropriate middleware (Oracle 8i Client), then the BusinessObjects Oracle data access driver. The types of databases supported through data access drivers are listed below. Each data access driver is described in its respective chapter in this guide.and the chapters associated with the connection: IBM DB2 Informix Microsoft SQL Server Oracle Red Brick Sybase Teradata What data access files are installed? This section describes the data access files that are installed when you install Business Objects products. Data access files can be divided into two levels: Global level. These are files that apply to all installed data access drivers. Driver level. These are data access driver specific files. Note: Not all the files installed by Connection Server are listed. Most of the files described in this section contain parameters that can be modified to optimize or customize data access. Certain files are listed to explain their function. These and other files in these directories must not be modified. They are required for full functionality, so do not remove them. The global and driver level files are described in their respective sections below. 8 Data Access Guide

Identifying name for the connection. 20 Data Access Guide

23 Creating connections Creating a connection with the New Connection wizard 2 Parameter User name Use Single Sign-On when viewing reports Password Data source or Service Your database user name. This is normally assigned to you by the database administrator. When selected, the user name and password used to access the CMS are automatically used as database login parameters. See the BusinessObjects Enterprise 11 Administrator s Guide for information on setting up Single Sign-On. Your database password. This is normally assigned to you by the database administrator. Data source or database name. If you are using an ODBC driver the data source name identifies the target database. If you are using a native driver, the database name identifies the target database. Connection type The type of connection determines who can use the connection to access data. Designer automatically stores all the connections that you create during a work session. The next time you launch a session, these connections will be available to you. You can create three types of connections with Designer: Personal Shared Secured Each connection type is described as follows: Personal connections Restricts access to data to the universe creator and the computer on which it was created. Connection parameters are stored in the PDAC.LSI file located in the LSI folder in the Business Objects installation path. An example of this path is shown below. C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11\win32_x86\pdac.lsi These parameters are static and cannot be updated. Personal connections are unsecured in terms of Business Objects products security. You do not use personal connections to distribute universes. You could use personal connections to access personal data on a local machine. Data Access Guide 21

24 2 Creating connections Creating a connection with the New Connection wizard Shared connections Allows access to data for all users. These connections are unsecured in terms of Business Objects products security. Connection parameters are stored in the SDAC.LSI file located in the LSI folder in the Business Objects installation path. An example of this path is shown below. C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11\win32_x86\sdac.lsi If the SDAC.SSI file is stored locally, only users having access to the local machine (through a mapped drive), can use the shared connections. Shared connections can be useful in a universe testing environment. Secured connections Centralizes and controls access to data. It is the safest type of connection, and should used be to protect access to sensitive data. You can create secured connections with Designer. You must use secured connections if you want to distribute universes through the CMS. Secured connections can be used and updated at any time. Setting advanced parameters The Advanced page contains parameters used to over ride the following common configuration options: Defining the duration of a connection into a pool Defining how Business Objects products respond when database resources are not available Defining the size of the array fetch 22 Data Access Guide

25 Creating connections Creating a connection with the New Connection wizard 2 You can set the following advanced parameters: Parameter Disconnect after each transaction Keep the connection active for x minutes Keep the connection active during the whole session (local mode only) Get error message and stop Wait for resources Array fetch size Click if you want your connection to disconnect immediately after the transaction is completed. Users will have to reconnect each time they want to access data. Click if you want your connection to stay active for a defined period of time. You must also enter a value for the number of minutes. This is the default Connection Property. Click if you want your connection to stay active during the entire session of the product. The connection ends when the user exits the application. Click if you want your connection to disconnect and notify the user that the resource is locked when a user receives an error message. This is the default Locked Resources option. Click if you want your connection to remain active without notifying users. Enter the maximum number of rows authorized with each fetch. If you enter 20, and your query retrieves 100 rows, the connection executes 5 fetches to retrieve your data. Five fetches of 20 rows each equals 100 rows of data. If you enter 1, the array fetch is deactivated and data is retrieved row by row. Note: Deactivating array fetch is the safest way of retrieving your data but row-by-row retrieval slows down server performance. The greater the value in the Array fetch size option, the faster your rows are retrieved; you must, however, ensure you have adequate client system memory. Note: If a query retrieves data containing blob or long text types, the array fetch is automatically reset to 1. The default value is 20. Data Access Guide 23

26 2 Creating connections Creating a connection with the New Connection wizard Parameter Array bind size Login timeout Enter the size of the bind array that Connection Server uses before sending to the repository. The bind array is the area in memory that Connection Server stores a batch of data to be loaded (sent to the repository). When the bind array fills, it is transmitted to the database. Generally, the larger the bind array, the more rows (n) can be loaded in one operation, and the better your performance. Specifies the number of seconds that must be spent to establish a connection before an error message is displayed. Setting custom parameters Using Hints (Oracle only) on the Custom page should only be modified by an advanced user, DBA, or BusinessObjects administrator. It contains certain parameters that can be used to override connection settings. The following parameters are available Binary Slice Size. This appears by default in the Advanced page for all data access drivers. This parameter specifies the size of the slice used to store the binary content of all documents sent to the repository. It is described in the section Binary Slice Size on page 101. Hint (Oracle only). This parameter is described below. A Hint is commented information that is embedded in a query, and used by the Oracle optimizer to choose an execution plan. You should consult your Oracle documentation for full information on the Hints that can be used, and how they can be used to optimize queries. You enter the value for a Hint as a comment. A plus sign is used at the beginning, immediately after the comment delimiter, with no space between the comment delimiter and the plus sign: /*+ <hint> */ 24 Data Access Guide

27 Creating connections Creating a connection with the New Connection wizard 2 Some useful Hints that you can use are as follows. Consult your Oracle documentation for a full list: Hint FIRST_ROWS RULE FULL ROWID INDEX_FFS What it does... Optimizes response time. Use rule-based optimization and not cost. Does a full table scan on the table. Scans table by rowid. Perform a fast full scan on the index rather than on the table. Example: FIRST_ROWS On the Custom page, click Hints and type /* FIRST_ROWS */ in the values box under the parameter list, and click on Set. The SQL is: SELECT /* FIRST_ROWS */ RESERVATIONS.CUST_ID FROM RESERVATIONS Data Access Guide 25

29 Managing data access chapter

30 3 Managing data access Overview Overview This chapter describes how you can use parameter files to optimize your data access driver. The following areas are described: Configuring unicode data access Setting dynamic SQL parameters in a universe Optimizing data access by editing data access parameter files Note: Other tools in the readme:you can use command line utilities to check your RDBMS and data access driver configuration, and to create log filies that trace Web Intelligence server activity. Refer to the readme for this release for instructions on the use of these utilities. Configuring unicode data access WebIntelligence users can run queries that return data containing characters that confirm to the Unicode Standard UTF-8, or the Universal Character Set (UCS) standard. Note: Unicode characters are not supported in table or object names in a universe. Unicode data access is available to WebIntelligence when the following conditions are met: Target middleware supports unicode. The BusinessObjects data access driver for the target middleware supports Unicode. Unicode parameters have been set in the General data access (SBO) file for the appropriate data access drivers, and in the dynamic SQL parameters for the target universe. When these conditions have been met, WebIntelligence users can run queries returning data sets that contain unicode characters. What RDBMS are supported for Unicode data access? Unicode data access is supported for the following RDBMS: Oracle Microsoft SQL Server IBM DB2 UDB 28 Data Access Guide

31 Managing data access Configuring unicode data access 3 Teradata Setting up unicode data access An overview of the steps you need to follow to set up unicode data access are as follows: 1. Set a unicode parameter in the <RDBMS>.sbo file for the data access driver. Or Set a default unicode parameter for all data access drivers using the general configuration file (cs.cfg). 2. Set an environment variable to a unicode value specific for the target RDBMS. Setting the SBO and environment variable values are described in sections for the following RDBMS: Setting up unicode data access for Oracle on page 29 IBM DB2 UDB on page 32 Microsoft SQL Server 2000 on page 33 Teradata V2R5 on page For the following RDBMS, you must set a SQL parameter for a target universe in Designer to allow queries return unicode characters. Oracle with local charset Microsoft SQL Server This is described in the section Activating unicode support in a universe (SQL Server and Oracle special case) on page 35. Setting up unicode data access is described for each supported middleware. Setting up unicode data access for Oracle You can set unicode support for a particular Oracle target data access driver, or as a default setting for all Oracle data access drivers. You do this in two stages: Set a parameter in the oracle.sbo file to activate unicode support. Set the environment variable NLS_LANG parameter to activate unicode support. This is done in the Windows registry for Windows, and from the command line for UNIX. Each stage is described below. Data Access Guide 29

32 3 Managing data access Configuring unicode data access Setting unicode support for a Oracle data access driver To set unicode support for a data access driver: 1. Open the oracle.sbo file in a XML file editor. General data access configuration (SBO) files are installed by default in the following directory: $INSTALLDIR \dataaccess\rdbms\connectionserver\oracle\oracle.sbo 2. Go to the section Databases. 3. Go to section Parameters for your target database version. 4. Add the following parameter and value: <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter> The Database section should appear as follows: </DataBase> <DataBase Active="Yes" Name="Oracle 9"> <Parameter Name="Library">dbd_oci9</Parameter> <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter> </DataBase> Note: You can set the unicode parameter for all Oracle RDBMS using the oracle.sbo file by adding the Unicode parameter with value UTF8 to the s section of the file (<Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</ Parameter>). This applies for all target Oracle middleware. 1. Save and close the file. Setting the NLS_LANG variable for Windows You set the NLS_LANG variable for a Windows environment in the registry. Note: Don t take risks when editing the registry. A mistake can cause one or more applications to not function correctly. You should create a backup copy of your registry before making modifications. As an extra security measure, before modifying a key value, you can also copy the value of the original key to a new temporary key, or save it in a backup text file until you are sure the new value functions correctly. To set NLS_LANG in the Windows registry: 1. Select Start > Run. Type regedit in the Run text box and click OK. The Registry Editor appears. 30 Data Access Guide

33 Managing data access Configuring unicode data access 3 2. Browse to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOMEO 3. Select the NLS_LANG value. 4. Select Edit > Modify. 5. Replace the file extension with UTF8. For example, the default value for American Engish is: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE81SO8859P1 Replace the file extension as follows: AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 6. Save and close the registry editor. Setting the NLS_LANG variable for UNIX The NLS_LANG variable for the environment language must be set to the value UTF8. You set the NLS_LANG variable from the command line in UNIX. Modifying the NLS_LANG variable for UNIX: 1. Type the following command to verify your current set up: echo $NLS_LANG The current value of your system is returned. It appears as follows: <LANGUAGE>.<extension> for example: ENGLISH_UNITED KINGDOM.WE9ISO8859P 15. To activate unicode, you must replace the <extension> with UTF8. 2. Depending on the shell, use the following command to set the variable to <value>, where <value> is <LANGUAGE>.UTF8. tcsh or korn shell SETENV NLS_LANG <value> bash or cshell EXPORT NLS_LANG = <value> For example, ENGLISH_UNITED KINGDOM.WE9ISO8859P 15 is set to ENGLISH_UNITED KINGDOM.UTF8 Setting up unicode support for Oracle using a local charset When the Oracle database charset is set as a local charset, you also need to set the unicode universe parameter for each universe that access the unicode data. This parameter generates specific SQL syntax to specify that a UTF8 string is passed as condition. The database being set as local charset usually Data Access Guide 31

34 3 Managing data access Configuring unicode data access handles local charset strings.this is described in the section Activating unicode support in a universe (SQL Server and Oracle special case) on page 35. IBM DB2 UDB You can set unicode support for a particular IBM DB2 target data access driver, or as a default setting for all IBM DB2 data access drivers. You do this in two stages: Set a parameter in the db2.sbo file to activate unicode support. Set the environment variable NLS_LANG parameter to activate unicode support. Each stage is described below. Setting unicode support for a IBM DB2 data access driver To set unicode support for a data access driver: 1. Open the db2.sbo file in a XML file editor. General data access configuration (SBO) files are installed by default in the following directory: $INSTALLDIR \dataaccess\rdbms\connectionserver\db2\db2.sbo 2. Go to the section Databases. 3. Go to section Parameters for your target database version. 4. Add the following parameter and value: <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter> The Database section should appear as follows: </DataBase> <DataBase Active="Yes" Name="DB2 UDB v8"> <Parameter Name="Binary SliceSize">30000</Parameter> <Parameter Name="Max Rows Available">True</Parameter> <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter> </DataBase> Note: You can set the unicode parameter for all IBM DB2 RDBMS using the db2.sbo file by adding the Unicode parameter with value UTF8 to the s section of the file (<Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</ Parameter>). This applies for all target IBM DB2 middleware. 1. Save and close the file. 32 Data Access Guide

35 Managing data access Configuring unicode data access 3 Setting the variable DB2CODEPAGE You now must set the DB2CODEPAGE variable for the environment variable to the value Microsoft SQL Server 2000 You can set unicode support for a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 target data access driver, or as a default setting for all ODBC data access drivers. You do this by setting a parameter in the odbc.sbo file to activate unicode support. Setting unicode support for a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 data access driver To set unicode support for Microsoft SQL Server 2000: 1. Open the odbc.sbo file in a XML file editor. General data access configuration (SBO) files are installed by default in the following directory: $INSTALLDIR \dataaccess\rdbms\connectionserver\odbc\odbc.sbo 2. Go to the section Databases for MS SQL Server Go to section Parameters for MS SQL Server Add the following parameter and value: <Parameter Name="Unicode">UCS2</Parameter> 5. Verify that the Library parameter has the correct Unicode library name. For example: <Parameter Name="Library">dbd_wmssql</Parameter> The Database section should appear as follows: <DataBase Active="Yes" Name="MS SQL Server 2000"> <Parameter Name="Family">Microsoft</Parameter> <Parameter Name="Version">rdbms_mssqlserverodbc.txt</ Parameter> <Parameter Name="SQL External File">sqlsrv</ Parameter> <Parameter Name="SQL Parameter File">sqlsrv</ Parameter> <Parameter Name="Array Bind Available">True</ Parameter> <Parameter Name="Library">dbd_wmssql</Parameter> <Parameter Name="Unicode">UCS2</Parameter> <Parameter Name="Driver Level">31</Parameter> </DataBase> Note: Data Access Guide 33

36 3 Managing data access Configuring unicode data access Teradata V2R5 You can set the unicode parameter for all data access drivers using the odbc.sbo file by adding the Unicode parameter with value UCS2 to the s section of the file (<Parameter Name="Unicode">UCS2</ Parameter>). 1. Save and close the file. Setting up unicode support in a universe For Microsoft SQL Server, once you have set up the data access driver for unicode support, you now need to set the unicode universe parameter for each universe that access the unicode data. This is described in the section Activating unicode support in a universe (SQL Server and Oracle special case) on page 35. You can set unicode support for a Teradata V2R5 target data access driver, or as a default setting for all Teradata data access drivers. You do this by setting a parameter in the teradata.sbo file to activate unicode support. Setting unicode support for a Teradata data access driver To set unicode support for a data access driver: 1. Open the teardata.sbo file in a XML file editor. General data access configuration (SBO) files are installed by default in the following directory: $INSTALLDIR \dataaccess\rdbms\connectionserver\teradata\teradata.sbo 2. Go to the section Databases. 3. Go to section Parameters for your target database version. 4. Add the following parameter and value: <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter> The Database section should appear as follows: <DataBase Active="Yes" Name="Teradata V2 R5"> <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter> </DataBase> Note: You can set the unicode parameter for all Teradata data access drivers using the teradata.sbo file by adding the Unicode parameter with value UTF8 to the s section of the file (<Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</ Parameter>). This applies for all target Teradata middleware. 1. Save and close the file. 34 Data Access Guide

37 Managing data access Configuring unicode data access 3 Activating unicode support in a universe (SQL Server and Oracle special case) For Microsoft SQL Server, and the case when an Oracle database charset is set as a local charset, once you have set unicode support in the SBO file for the target data access driver, you must activate the SQL parameter UNICODE in each universe that uses the data access driver to access unicode data. The setting UNICODE_STRINGS in Designer for SQL generation indicates that specific SQL generation is required because of NVARCH, NCHAR columns in the universe. The UNICODE_STRINGS parameter ensures that specific SQL syntax is generated to specify that a UTF8 string is passed as condition. The string is specified by another parameter, the UNICODE_PATTERN parameter in the PRM file. Once you have set UNICODE_STRINGS to Yes, you then set the string condition in for the UNICODE_PATTERN parameter in the PRM file. The database being set as local charset usually handles local charset strings. You set the UNICODE_STRINGS parameter in Designer. See the section Setting dynamic SQL parameters in a universe on page 36 for complete information on setting dynamic SQL parameters for a universe in Designer. You set the UNICODE_PATTERN parameter in the PRM file for the target RDBMS. See the chapter Setting data access SQL parameters (PRM) on page 69 for information on setting PRM parameters. Setting unicode support for a universe in Designer To set unicode support for a universe in Designer: 1. Start Designer. 2. Open the universe that you want to access unicode enabled middleware. 3. Select File > Parameters. 4. Click the Parameter tab. 5. Scroll down the list of SQL parameters to UNICODE_STRINGS parameter. 6. Click UNICODE_STRINGS. 7. Remove No in the Value box, and type Yes. 8. Click the Replace button. 9. Click OK. Data Access Guide 35

38 3 Managing data access Setting dynamic SQL parameters in a universe 10. Save and export the universe. Setting dynamic SQL parameters in a universe In Designer, you can dynamically configure certain SQL parameters that are common to most RDBMS to optimize the SQL generated in BusinessObjects and WebIntelligence products using the universe. Using parameter (PRM) files in previous versions of Designer In previous versions of Designer, the SQL generation parameters used by a universe were maintained and edited in a separate file called a parameters (PRM) file. The values set in the PRM file applied to all universes using the associated data access driver defined for a connection. Many of the SQL parameters that are used to optimize query generation are now controlled within an individual universe file. The PRM file is now no longer used for the query generation parameters that you can set in Designer. PRM files are still used for parameters that are database specific. Note: See the chapter Setting universe dynamic SQL parameters for a complete reference on the universe SQL parameters available in Designer. Setting the SQL parameters dynamically in Designer Many of the parameters common to most supported RDBMS middleware are available for editing in the Parameters tab in the universe parameters dialog box (File > Parameters > Parameter). These parameters apply only to the active universe, and are saved in the UNV file. When you modify an SQL parameter for a universe in Designer, the value defined in Designer is used, and not the value defined in the PRM file associated with the data access driver for the connection. Editing SQL generation parameters You can modify the values for SQL parameters that determine SQL generation in products using the universe. See the chapter Setting universe dynamic SQL parameters for a complete reference on the universe SQL parameters available in Designer. To edit SQL generation parameters: 36 Data Access Guide

39 Managing data access Setting dynamic SQL parameters in a universe 3 1. Select File > Parameters. The Parameters dialog box appears. 2. Click the Parameter tab. The Parameter page appears. 3. Edit, add, or remove parameters as follows: To... Then do the following Add a new parameter 1. Click any parameter in the list. 2. Type a name in the Name box 3. Type a value in the Value box. 4. Click Add. The new value appears at the bottom of the list Change name or value 1. Click a parameter in the list. 2. Type a new name in the Name box 3. Type a new value in the Value box. 4. Click Replace. The value is replaced by the new definition. Delete a parameter 1. Click the parameter that you want to remove from the list. 2. Click Delete. Data Access Guide 37

40 3 Managing data access Optimizing data access by editing data access parameter files 4. Click OK. Note: The SQL generation parameter values that you set in a universe, are only available to products using that universe. Optimizing data access by editing data access parameter files Certain data access parameters can be modified to optimize BusinessObjects and WebIntelligence access to data for all installed data access drivers, a specific data access driver, or the SQL generation parameters for a specific data access driver. Data access parameters are listed in three XML files: General configuration for all data access drivers (CS.CFG) Data access driver general configuration (<driver>.sbo) Data access driver SQL parameters (<driver>.prm) These files are all in XML format. You should use an XML editor, for example XML Spy to edit these files. Each of these files is described briefly below. Full descriptions and editing procedures are described in the reference chapter for each file at the end of the book. Note: Certain SQL generation parameters that were set in the PRM file in previous versions of BusinessObjects products, are now available at the universe level. These parameters are edited in a universe and are available to all reporting products using the universe. See the section Setting dynamic SQL parameters in a universe on page 36 for more information. How are the data access files used by a connection? Connection Server uses the CFG, SBO, and PRM data access files to manage the parameters of a connection between a data access driver and the target middleware. The default parameters used by a connection are defined in these three files. Some of these parameters can be modified in the CFG file to apply to all data access drivers, or set at the driver level (SBO) to over-ride the general default value. Parameters in the PRM file can be modified to optimize the SQL generation for products using the connection. Connection Server refers to the data access files for the following purposes: 38 Data Access Guide

41 Managing data access Optimizing data access by editing data access parameter files 3 CS.CFG: connection and driver settings that apply to all data access drivers. SBO: connection and driver settings that are driver specific. these default values apply only to the target data access driver. PRM: SQL operators and functions that are available to the target data access driver. The values set for these SQL operators and functions can be modified to optimize the SQL generated in Business Objects products. Each of these files is discussed briefly below. A list of all parameters available in each file, and the methods for viewing and editing the files are available in the reference chapters that correspond to each file at the back of this manual. General configuration for all data access drivers (CS.CFG) The general configuration for all data access drivers (CS.CFG) file contains parameters for the following uses: Char set for each locale List of all files used by data access drivers to create and configure connections Driver defaults that apply to all drivers, for example array fetch size and array bind size. Activating traces for connection activity. set in the CS.CFG file apply to all data access drivers listed in the DRIVER DEFAULTS section of the file. The CS.CFG file is found here: $INSTALLDIR\dataAccess\RDBMS\connectionServer\ The file uses the cs.dtd in the same directory. A description of each parameter in the CS.CFG file, and the procedure for editing the file are documented in the chapter Setting data access general configuration parameters (CFG) on page 109. Data access driver general configuration (<driver>.sbo) The data access driver general configuration (.SBO) file contains parameters for the following uses: Data Access Guide 39
