Create data models using interactive reporting

Hey guys,
I was wondering how you create data models using interactive reporting. An simple example would be great? I would really appreciate if I could get an answer.
Also, I wanted to understand a real world situation that you guys might have faced with creating data models, etc...thanks a ton :-)

Your question is not that much clear on what you are asking for.
But for reference please have a look at the below doc which explain the Integration with IR and webanalysis what you require.

Data model in Interactive Reporting

Hi,
Could any one clarify me on What is Data model in Interactive report and how we can use exactly.

A data model is the physical representation of your tables joined together.
In SQL terms it the FROM and WHERE (JOIN) clauses.
an IR Query section depends on a Data Model. That Data Model can be a Master Data Model (Shared with many Query Sections) or a regular Data Model.
Master Data Models cannot be changed within the Query Section - Their Background is Grey and will indicate so in the upper left corner of the screen...
Locked Data Model: {data model section name}
Master Data Models are useful in that you only design it once and then it and its connection are shared with many Query Sections. And modifications to the Data Model are then applied in the Data Model Section and each dependent Query Section has those changes.
For a more comple defintion open Interactive Reporting and go to HELP. In the Search type "Data Modeling"
You will have plenty to read.

Using mulitple data models in a report

Is it possible to use more than one data model in a report? For example, we have many reports that are based on several data models. There are also various sub-templates that could be associated with a report, independent of the report's main data model. I cannot see a way to join data models, leaving me with only two apparent choices:
1) Add (replicate) all the sub-template data sources and data sets to each data model
2) Create a mega model that has everything.
Any ideas for a better solution? Seems like a common problem...
Thanks,
Armand

Hello, and thank you for answering.
Puting a # infront of portal30.wwctx_api.get_user didn't work
When i did that, it resulted in this pl/sql code in the package:
if l_column.get_value = '#portal30.wwctx_api.get_user' then
l_style := l_row.get_style;
l_style.set_color('blue');
l_style.set_background_color('red');
l_style.set_font('');
l_style.set_bold('NO' );
l_style.set_italic('NO');
l_style.set_underline('NO');
l_style.set_blink('NO');
l_row.set_style(l_style);
end if;
It looks like the portal treat all that is inside the value field as text.
I tried to come around the problem by editing the plsql code which is stored in the database. This worked, but when i tried to edit it from the portal afterwards, my changes wasn't reflected.

Hi David,
The things I said are not a fix for this problem.
If your RCU installation worked, then you do not have to worry about modifying the createfr.sql.
Edit:
I've just tracked the problem. It appears that when using the query builder, BI forgets to add the " sign.
For example:
This query will give the hyperion error.
select     "table"."field"
from     "database.user"."table"
To correct it write it like this:
select     "table"."field"
from     "database"."user"."table"

Issue while creating Data Model in BI Publisher and logging into xmlpserver

Hi All,
We are facing an issue in OBIEE 11.1.1.5.
If we are logging with Non Admin Id (other than weblogic) and select New Data Model, a blank screen is coming. Where as, if we use Admin Id, we are getting screen as usual for creating data model. There were some blogs mentioning to change Priviledges for SOAP access, but that approach is also not working.
Further, we are also not able to open xmlpserver with Non Admin Id.
Any help or pointers would be great.
Regards,

how about pasting the content of your data template here, so that forum members can see what could be the problem.

Two data Models in one report

Hi There,
I have created two data model for my report. The queries have no relation to each other. Is that possible to put both these in one report with same user parameters. or do u have any better suggestion to do this.
For Example:
select count(*) from (select name "Worker" from person
where start_date between (:P_1) and (:P_2)
select count(*) from (select name "ADMIN PERSON" from admin
where start_date between (:P_1) and (:P_2)
Thanks

Hi Jagjit,
I created one report with 2 SQL queries:
select count(*) from employees where department_id < :P_1
and
select count(*) from departments where department_id < :P_1
And it worked fine. So your report should be OK. By the way, a report has just one "Data Model". It is possible to have 2 or more "Queries" in the data model.

Please help creating data model where query has & in select

Below is the actual code of the part of select having a problem.
When I had '&' instead of chr(36), a window opens up saying 'Please enter values for lexical references in sql then has *&' and empty box and check box then flex field.
So I replaced '&' with chr(36) below
After I put the code in, it is asking me the question ====>
'Do you want to create a bind parameter? : //wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processInputRequest?sort_by
,'=HYPERLINK("http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processInputRequest?sort_by=status'||CHR(36)||'tracknums_displayed=1'||CHR(36)||'TypeOfInquiryNumber=T'||CHR(36)||'loc=en_US'||CHR(36)||'InquiryNumber1='||mbl.tracking_number||CHR(36)
||
'track.x=0'||CHR(36)||'track.y=0","'||mbl.tracking_number||'")' "Tracking Link (Click to Track)",

Hi,
Looks like no more problems creating data models after replacing the '&' and ':' with their chr(x) counterparts. But when they I run the report, it shows the hyperlink code below instead of the hyperlink tracking number they can just click on. Also when I try the query in toad, it works.
=HYPERLINK("http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processInputRequest?sort_by=status&tracknums_displayed=1&TypeOfInquiryNumber=T&loc=en_US&InquiryNumber1=&track.x=0&track.y=0","")

CRM 7.0 - Enhancement of Data Sources for interactive Reporting

Hallo All,
I would like to know whether anybody has positive experience with the enhancement of CRM Data Sources for interactive Reporting. I read that the enhancement of Customer fields should be possible (Those Data Sources below the Hierarchy node /CRMBW/ROOT).
I have seen that the extract structure can be enhanced via RSA6 (as for other data sources).
Questions:
1. Which USEREXIT / BADI has to be used to fill the added fields?
2. Does it work?
Best regards

Hi!
Those DS are not meant to be enhanced manually but only by one of the following two ways:
1. Adding custom fields with the Application Enhancement Tool (AET) in the CRM UI.
2. Adding SAP fields with the Interactive Reporting Enhancement Workbench (IREW).
The AET is available since CRM 7.0. Please find more details in the SAP Help Portal:

Logical data Model Using ODI

Can I create Logical data Model Using ODI ? If yes how can I do it ?

User,
ODI is not a tool to design. It's a comprehensive integration platform.
However if you would like to model your data, you can use for example Oracle Designer 9i, which is availble one the Oacle website for free.
Oracle 10gR2 Designer is also availble at: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/designer/htdocs/winsoft.html
Good luck.

Error when creating data model - Internal Server Error

When trying to create a new Data Model in BI Publisher (11.1.1), we are getting a “Internal Server Error” message and the page to create data models wont display. We are able to login to BIP with any user, but we cant do anything else… (seems due to a null pointer exception, as shown in this message):

Any ideas why this is happening and how to solve it?

In QA and Prod I see custom dictionaries in the Custom Reports Data Model, in Test there are none.
Dictionaries and Sevices marked Reportable are not showing up under Dictionaries and Services Dimensions.
I rerun the ETL and the scheduled tasks, but no luck. any suggestions?

Do you see any error when you run the ETL, i.e. the Java ETL embedded with the app server?

Sachin Srivastava

Hi,
As I know there is no fix/workaround for that.
Disable filtering and other stuff is only. But I think you of course like have filters and other nice thing of interactive report. Other vice you have done classic report.
It is better use classic report and build own custom filers.

Try making your column definition as "Remove HTML and escape special characters".
I tried it and it make the column appear as editable as intended and also clicking on the column heading or on the filter in the IR bar behave properly.
