Column customization OBIEE 11g RPD.

Can anyone help me with following scenario please?
I have a "Instance" table in the datawarehouse. It has 2 columns A and B.
I brought it all the way to the presentation layer making necessary joins to the Facts.
I created the column as prompt at the dashboard level. Now if the User selects A or B at the prompt level he will be pointed to Amount1 column in the BMM layer.
Now I will have to customize is such a way that,
If the user chooses both A and B options in the prompt the Amount2 has to be referred instead of Amount1 column.
I need help please!
Thanks,
Nikki.

Unable to import table or columns in OBIEE 11G RPD

Hi All,
We are unable to import table into the RPD using OCI 10G/11G to import the table then the import box open but we are unable to see the tables below the schema name. When we use ODBC 3.5 and created a DSN for the database then we are able to see all the tables and import them. But the problem here is that when we are using window server 7 64 bit to install client and then importing the table ODBC is not working fine as well.
Please note that we are using OBIEE 11G which is installed on unix box and we connect to RPD using client installed on windows server.
Appreciate all the help in advance.
Thanks,
Mohit

Hi Sayak,
This means we need to installed Oracle client to resolve this problem. Can you please share if you have some knowledge regarding the same.
Thanks,
Mohit

Peoplesoft Trees as Hierarchial Columns in OBIEE 11g

Sorry for a duplicate posting. Logged in as a normal user with random number. I know how much people hate it. Logged in as myself now.
Hi,
I have extensively searched using Google or 11g docs but could not find a proper solution to using Peoplesoft trees in form of hierarchial columns in obiee 11g. Can the rpd of obiee 11g be designed to view the Peoplesoft tree structure( as it is in Tree manager in Pplsoft) as hierachial columns in obiee 11g? I am sure hierarchial columns as a 11g feature are not just for visual representation in tree format but also can be viewed in Answers and queried against it,am I right?
Anybody who has worked on trees and OBIEE 11g hierarchial columns? Ahsan/Navin??
Thanks,
Dan

I have not used the 11g hierarchical columns for PSoft Trees but I can think of a glaring reason NOT to do this..PERFORMANCE. If I understand correctly, 11g issues a group by and Union as you traverse this type of structure and PeopleSoft trees have a number of tables to represent the actual TREE. I cannot possibly see how this can be effective especially with a large scale BI Apps DW? This is part of the reason the trees get flattened out via the OOTB ETL adaptors for PSoft.

Removing drag functionality of column in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
Can any one say me how to remove the draging functionality for the columns in OBIEE 11g ? It is creating an issue for me when i hide the columns in pivot and has only rows over there. It is creating one more layer on the top of the measures.
Thanks for your help.

Fightclub,
Edit the Pivot view and goto Row section -> Row Properties -> Option - Uncheck the Display Heading.
But you'll loose your columns heading of rows.
Thanks,

Stop a dimensional drill for a particular value of a column in obiee 11g

Hi,
I have dimensional drill been setup for Supervisor Hierarchy Table.I need to stop the dimensional drill for a particular value of the column in obiee 11g.
Example: I have two columns
1.Supervisor Level 1 Name
2.Supervisor Level 2 Name
Supervisor Level 1 Name Columns have these values.(Ram,Higher,Sam)
Supervisor Level 2 Name Columns have these values.(Ravi,Higher,Raghul).
If we pull Supervisor Level 1 Name Column in report which has a dimensional drill(It will navigate to Supervisor Level 2 Name).It will show
1.Ram
2.Higher
3.Sam
I should not drill on Higher value but the rest of the values(Sam and Ram will drill to Supervisor Level 2 Name) should be drillable.The same should happen for Supervisor Level 2 Name.
Please Suggest.
Thanks,
Azim

Azim,
Don't think you can actually get this working

Hope this help's
Thanks,
Satya Ranki Reddy

looks like there is a way to recover the lost passwords for RPD's using listcred() method of wlst
look at the following doc http://www.rittmanmead.com/2011/04/oracle-bi-ee-11g-migrating-security-credential-store-part-3/
Listing the Credential in Dev Environment:
All the Credential Keys are generally stored in an encrypted format (the passwords). So, to migrate we will need to first extract these passwords and then do the migration to Production. The passwords can be extracted through the listCred() method of WLST. We need to be connected to the Admin Server for this method to work. The exact command is given below
connect(“weblogic”,”welcome1″,”localhost:7001″)
listCred(“DevMap”,”DevKey”)
This will show the encrypted password entered inside the key as shown below
And this is what we see in the enterprise manager.
As you see, with listCred we are able to extract the full credentials. Now, lets try to see what is the default password for the BISystemUser.
listCred(“oracle.bi.system”,”system.user”)
In the same way lets extract the passwords of the SampleAppLite repository.
listCred(“oracle.bi.enterprise”,”repository.SampleAppLite”)
With this we can even extract the lost Repository passwords."
i am going to try it out now

Concatenate two columns in Obiee 11g

Hi,
I am trying to concatenate two columns from same table in OBIEE 11G , i tried all below syntax
cast("Period"."Year" as Varchar)|| cast ("Period"." Month Name" as Varchar)
cast("Period"."Year" as char)|| cast ("Period"." Month Name" as char)
contact(cast("Period"."Year" as char), cast ("Period"." Month Namer" as char))
I am getting this error as - Invalid Alias Format : Table_name.Column_name require . Plz Help me Guys
Thanks
Edited by: Neha on Apr 16, 2012 3:41 PM

Column forumal example based on vanilla usage tracking RPD:
cast("Query Time"."Year" as varchar(4)) || "Query Time"."Month"BTW: "Month Name" implies a string already so I doubt you'll need to cast it as one...

How to Hide a column in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I am trying to hide a column of presantation layer table in OBIEE 11g. But it is not working.
I am doing the follwoing.
Open the permission tab of the column.
Given no access to Everyone.
Given No access the user/Application Role.
When i go to web, the column is getting displayed in the table list. But, when i select the column and press the result button, it is not giving the result.
It means, by doing the above steps it is restricting the data but visibility of column is already there.
Same way it works for OBIEE 10g. Could you please let me know this feature has been removed from 11g or if it is still there then how we can achieved that.
Thanks in Advance
Niraj

Hi Niraj,
It's a bug in OBIEE 11.1.1.5.
Bug 12352010: RESTRICTED COLUMNS SHOULD NOT SHOW IN SUBJECT AREA
It is fixed in the version 11.1.1.6.

Using CASE WHEN for Essbase column in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I have a business model in OBIEE 11g, taking the source from Essbase 11. The measures of the Essbase cube in the physical layer is flattened, and the aggregations for the measures are set to SUM.
The Product dimension has 5 generations. In Product logical table, I created a logical column called "Product Grouping" using a simple CASE WHEN formula:
CASE
WHEN "TEST"."Product"."Gen5,Product" IN ('100-10', '100-20', '200-10', '300-10') THEN 'Group 1'
WHEN "TEST"."Product"."Gen5,Product" IN ('100-30', '200-20') THEN 'Group 2'
ELSE 'Group 3'
END
Problems:
1. If I don't place this "Product Grouping" in the logical level/hierarchy, I got error in the report when I simply show Product Grouping and a measure.
2. If I place this "Product Grouping" in the logical level/hierarchy (on the 5th level), no more error in the report when I simply show "Product Grouping" and a measure. The measure value also shows the correct SUM (group by). However, when I add "Gen1,Product" the "Product Grouping" and the measure value suddenly becomes not grouped by.
Has anyone ever tried and encountered something like this? Any thoughts?
Thank you very much!

Hi Deepak, thansk for the suggestion.
However, I can't use calculated item for this report because:
1. incorrect result will be shown when my measures involve a formula to derive a percentage value.
2. calculated item is not available if we do "combine requests" (or union) in 11g.
Any thoughts anyone on how to solve this? Is this just me, or it's a bug?
Thank you very much.

Users in OBIEE 11g RPD

Hi all ,
I have scenario where i need to apply data level security for few users.
And i am trying to redefine the permissions for that user in RPD in offline mode , i failed to see those users in IDENTITY window.
Can some one please tell me , how to come over this issue ,
Thanks

Hi Raj,
In data level security for users level, You have to implement external table authorization.
1. Create table in database.
2. create session variable in rpd.
If you want some more extend information.

Obiee 11g RPD

Hi Frnds,
I Recently installed obiee 11g (11.1.1.6.0) on my windows 7 o.s.
RCU is 32 bit.
Obiee11g is 64 bit.
When, i open the rpd from start -> programs -> oracle business intelligence -> bi adminstration
My Rpd opens, i was able to import data make joins everything.
But, My Icons (Such as open file, open online, open offline, cut, copy, physical diagram, physical join, complex joins etc.. which are below 'File, Edit, View, Manage, Tools, Window, Help) are showing black in color.
But, the tool tip are showing properly.
Let me know how to resolve this issue.
Thank you.

I already tried to restart the system many times.
I think memory wouldn't be the issue - if not they are many applications which wouldn't work isn't ?
Is there any other way to resolve this issue

Obiee 11g RPD consistency check error after upgrade

Hi,
got below error in RPD consistency check after upgrading from obiee 10g to obiee 11.1.1.6.
*ERRORS:
Business Model Core:
[38028] Logical column Dim - Contact.Age Range does not have a valid data type.*
logical column Age=
CASE WHEN "Core"."Dim - Contact"."Age" < 18 THEN 'A: <18' WHEN "Core"."Dim - Contact"."Age" < 25 THEN 'B: 18-25' WHEN "Core"."Dim - Contact"."Age" < 35 THEN 'C: 25-35' WHEN "Core"."Dim - Contact"."Age" < 45 THEN 'D: 35-45' WHEN "Core"."Dim - Contact"."Age" < 55 THEN 'E: 45-55' WHEN "Core"."Dim - Contact"."Age" < 65 THEN 'F: 55-65' WHEN "Core"."Dim - Contact"."Age" IS NULL THEN 'Unspecified' ELSE 'G: >65' END
above is formula for logical column "Age" and data type for that is varchar in physical
few more erros similar to above.
how can I fix the issue? appreciate for your help.
Thanks
Jay.

HI,
As I said, Age has valid datatype in physical layer but datatype is showing as "Unknown" in logical layer after upgrade to 11g. many other columns got same issue just for this logical table. I rebuild the logical column mapped to physical sources but it didn't fix the issue.
I hope you understand the issue.
Thanks
Jay.

Calculating YTD column in OBIEE 11g

Hi ,
Here is my requirement :
I have to create a report , which shows several measure values (revenue , gross mergin etc as rows of a pivot table) against a certain period (Months , i.e. Jan , Feb ....etc as columns of a pivot table ) . Taking period prompt as presentation variable prompt . For example , If 'Jan' is selected from period dropdown list ,then only Jan values are shown . I am able to do upto this part .
Next , I have to add one YTD column (calculated ) , which will eventually sum the values of upto selected period value , i.e if selected month is 'Mar' then March values will be shown in one column and 'Jan + Feb + Mar ' values will shown in another .
How to achive this ?
FYI , I am taking essbase 11.1.2.0 as datasource and using OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 version .
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
by using time series Ago function method and also by suing obiee-date-expression method you can solve it.
