How to use rank function in obiee rpd using evalute..

i created a logical column:
EVALUATE('RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY %1,%2)' AS DOUBLE PRECISION , Composites.Composites_Fact.MEMBER_LOCKED_BASE_RETURN, Composites.Composites_Fact.COMP_ID)
please provide some solution

There is a known bug with EVALUATE when returning numbers. When I has the same problem Oracle Metalink has adviced to use CAST on the end result of the EVALUATE and return it as a FLOAT datatype.
CAST(EVALUATE('my_function(%1)', logical_table.ROWID) AS FLOAT)

How to use RANK function ?

Hello everyone,
here is the query I run in sql developer using RANKFunction.
SELECT Empno, Ename, Job, Mgr, Hiredate, Sal
FROM
(SELECT Empno, Ename, Job, Mgr, Hiredate, Sal,
*RANK*() OVER
(ORDER BY SAL Desc NULLS LAST) AS Emp_Rank
FROM Emp
ORDER BY SAL Desc NULLS LAST)
WHERE Emp_Rank < 6;How I can use this query in my report in obiee or is there any replacement of RANK() function in obiee so that I can use that to get my same above result.
Thanks

Thanks, you are absolutely correct. However, By doing this I am getting my output as whic I was not expecting.
Students Marks Rank
student1 95 1
student2 95 1
student3 93 3
student4 93 3
student5 91 5
The output should be as instead
Students Marks Rank
student1 95 1
student2 95 1
student3 93 2
student4 93 2
student5 91 3
Can It be done like this ?
Thanks.

I think you copied the above scenario from this site..

Then why asking how to do this? Are you testing us? Doesn't that site say how to achieve this?

How to use "Rank" function in Oracle?

I need to display Top 15 records by using rank function.
Here is my query...I need to pull top 15 FAQ's using the below query.. How can I use RANK function to display the Top 15 FAQ"s in the list.
Select distinct SUb1.FAQ,Sub1.FAQ_Hits,GU.display_Name_FMLS as displayname,ev.ParentLinkrecordid,ev.userid from User GU
Join Event ev
ON LOWER (ev.userid) IN (LOWER (GU.lanid), LOWER (Gu.racfid))
Join (Select distinct sm.stem as FAQ,Sum(ev.Eventresults) as FAQ_Hits,ev.ParentLinkrecordid as Topic_ID from Event ev
Join SubjectMatter sm
ON (TO_CHAR (sm.smrecordid) = ev.eventdetail1) AND ev.eventdetail1 IS NOT NULL AND sm.smtype = 1
Where (Upper(ev.eventsubtype) in (Upper('FAQ'),Upper('OPENFAQ')))
AND TO_DATE (eventdatetime, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') >= TO_DATE ('20100601', 'yyyymmdd')
and TO_DATE (eventdatetime, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') <= TO_DATE ('20100831', 'yyyymmdd')
Group by sm.stem,ev.Parentlinkrecordid
order by FAQ )sub1
ON Sub1.Topic_ID = ev.ParentLinkrecordid)

A few bits that I noticed in the query ...
in (Upper('FAQ'),Upper('OPENFAQ'))1) Do you really a upper for a string which is already in upper case.
Select distinct sm.stem as FAQ,Sum(ev.Eventresults) as FAQ_Hits,ev.ParentLinkrecordid as Topic_ID2) Do you need a distinct when you are using a GROUP function viz. SUM ?
You rank query is as follows, I am not very good at the ANSI style JOIN so changed it slightly ... :-)
Also notice the usage rank function in the "sub1" query.
select distinct sub1.faq,
                sub1.faq_hits,
                gu.display_name_fmls as displayname,
                ev.parentlinkrecordid,
                ev.userid
from user gu, event ev,
(select rank() over (order by sum(ev.eventresults) desc) rnk,
          sum(ev.eventresults) as faq_hits,
          sm.stem as faq,
          ev.parentlinkrecordid as topic_id
     from event ev, subjectmatter sm
    where (to_char(sm.smrecordid) = ev.eventdetail1)
      and ev.eventdetail1 is not null
      and sm.smtype = 1
      AND upper(ev.eventsubtype) in ('FAQ', 'OPENFAQ')
      and to_date(eventdatetime, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') >= to_date('20100601', 'yyyymmdd')
      and to_date(eventdatetime, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') <= to_date('20100831', 'yyyymmdd')
    group by sm.stem, ev.parentlinkrecordid
    order by faq) sub1
where lower(ev.userid) in (lower(gu.lanid), lower(gu.racfid))
and sub1.topic_id = ev.parentlinkrecordid)
and sub1.rnk <= 15;Like mentioned above, some sample data would have helped.

Hi All,
Am trying to generate a report in Answers which lists Top Accounts with Revenue.
I Ranked the Revenue field and it is returning me correct values. ( Rank(account.revenue) )
But, when I try to filter on this field and restrict the rows which shows only top 10 Accounts, it is returning the following error:

How to use CAST function in obiee 11g in rpd

Hai,
I am trying to use the cast fucntion in rpd in bmm layer for a new logical column that I have created and is giving me error compile message.
Can any one please help me out or find out what is wrong in the function I am using.
The expression I am trying to use is
( CAST ( "Chase Card Acquisition"."Fact Deposit"."Base Earn" as decimal(18,0) ) + "Chase Card Acquisition"."Fact Deposit"."Tot Bonus Earn" )

Decimal is not a supported type in the logical layer. See:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e10540/sqlref.htm#BIEMG559
for supported types.
If you are casting as Int then do not specify the precision ('cast x as int' NOT 'cast x as int(y,z)'). Regards,
Robert

How does one access custom function in OBIEE RPD for Session Init Block SQL

Hello:
We are using SSO for authentication and authorization for OBIEE, using Init Blocks in the RPD and httpHeader as the source of variables in the Instanceconfig.xml file. (As long as the user is member of one group, the results are fine. However, as soon as the user is assigned to multiple groups, group values become URI-encoded.)
To solve the problem of URI-encoding, we have deployed a function to the DB (ora 10gr2).
The problem I am running into is that when I call the function from an Init Block (Security), OBIEE Presentation Services (OPS) acts as though the function does not exist or is not called.
Initialization String: select group_OBIEE(WEBGROUPS) from dual
("group_OBIEE" is the function that was deployed.)
Testing: Successfully tested the function in PL/SQL as well as using the Test button in RPD.
Reason for the fuction: The function decodes the extra characters using a substr function. SSO uses Shibboleth for Authentication and Authorization.
For example, for our group name, we expect to obtain the following value:
edw:hrdir;edw:findir (2 groups separated by a semi-colon)
However, we are obtaining the following: (Determined via the narrative view in Answers: @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.GROUP']} )
URI-ENCODED<edw%3ahrdir%3bedw%3bfindir>
Please note: There are no such problems when we are passing only a single group value (i.e. edw:hrdir). So, in cases when we pass only for Group for the user, we are able to authenticate and authorize w/o a problem.
Any suggestion on how to call the function or a better way to approach this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You don't need a function to assign the groups in your Init Block. In fact you should not use it. You need to use a standard select and define the Init Block as Row-Wise. This means the BI Server knows the Init Block will return more than one row. You select statement should look like this:
SELECT 'GROUP', YOUR_GROUP_NAME FROM YOUR GROUP_USERS_TABLE WHERE YOUR_USER_ID_COLUMN = ':USER'

How to use CHOOSE function in OBIEE

Hi,
Could any one help me out in using the choose function in OBIEE.
How can a column be restricted using the choose function, when different users belonging to different groups logs in.
Rakesh

It seems be obvious that you should not publish reports to users and groups who are not allowed to see the columns in the report,
but in practice it can be very challenging to oversee this, especially when you have a lot of groups and a very strict security model....or "unsurmountable" and unchangeable "business requirements" ;-)
Testing definitely is the crucial point. And when you start going nuts with column access rights plus column selectors, dynamic view switching, guided nav., dynamic column formulae etc. etc. the fun really begins.

How to achieve Quartile function in OBIEE

Hi ALL,
This Quartile fuction which is used for adhoc reporting in Microsoft XL.
We have requirement to calculate this in OBIEE.
Is there any possibility of getting a solution on this Quartile function.
Regards
uday Annagiri

Hi alastair,
Thanks for your quick response.
As quartile is like
Quartile:
1 Top 25th Percentile
2 50th-75th Percentile
3 25th-50th Percentile
4 Btm 25th Percentile
NTile(numExpr, numTiles)
I tried using Ntile function,got the values between 1 to 100 then i used bins to get the above fuctionality.

How to create Support function for internal Class use

I have created a class to find the MoonRise and Set time. There is a java code available and I am translating it to Obj-C.
My problem is that for the calculation there are many support functions which is internally used. When I try to duplicate this as follows
-(double) frac:(double)x {
// returns the fractional part of x as used in minimoon and minisun
double a;
a = x - floor(x);
if (a < 0) a += 1;
return a;
-(void)minimoon:(double)t {
// takes t and returns the geocentric ra and dec in an array mooneq
// claimed good to 5' (angle) in ra and 1' in dec
// tallies with another approximate method and with ICE for a couple of dates
double L0, L, LS, F, D, H, S, N, DL, CB, L_moon, B_moon, V, W, X, Y, Z, RHO;
//var mooneq = new Array;
L0 = frac(0.606433 + 1336.855225 * t); // mean longitude of moon
At this point it gives an error implicit declaration of function frac,
My question is how to create such helper functions which are used internally, actually there are many such functions where functionA call B which calls C.
Thanks
Raj

Here's yet another approach (creating a private category):
@interface MYClass (Private)
- (double)frac:(double)x;
@end
@implementation MYClass
- (void)minimoon:(double)t {
// takes t and returns the geocentric ra and dec in an array mooneq
// claimed good to 5' (angle) in ra and 1' in dec
// tallies with another approximate method and with ICE for a couple of dates
double L0, L, LS, F, D, H, S, N, DL, CB, L_moon, B_moon, V, W, X, Y, Z, RHO;
//var mooneq = new Array;
L0 = [self frac:(0.606433 + 1336.855225 * t)]; // mean longitude of moon
- (double)frac:(double)x
// returns the fractional part of x as used in minimoon and minisun
double a;
a = x - floor(x);
if (a < 0) a += 1;
return a;
@end

I liked the first method as I don't have to change much of the java code.
I like it too. I use that very regularly (though I often use C++/Objective C++), since there is typically a lot of implementation in any class that does not need to be an ObjC instance method. This approach helps to reduce the object's interface to its essentials while keeping maintenance low.
I'll put all the helper functions above the implementation.
Is there a good book/web site where I can get such insight? I know C and Delphi/pascal
Well, Objective-C is a superset of C. If you're porting Java, you'll find protocols (ObjC) similar to interfaces (Java).

Apple's version of ObjC is different from others. For the language, Apple's docs are the standard (IMO):
Language:

If you are comfortable with C, this guide will help learning Objective-C quickly, though it has not been updated for (Apple's) Objective-C 2.0:

There are a few books on the ObjC2 language, but I have not read them (I just read Apple's docs for this).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawnm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1">
<WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
<WebMessage name="forecast">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="MOM_BI">
<Insert></Insert>
<Update>UPDATE STORE SET STORE_NAME='{@c1}' WHERE STORE={@c0}</Update>
<postUpdate>COMMIT</postUpdate>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
Below is the log that I've received from OBIEE:
Error loading XML Message File (/app/oracle/product/OBIEE10133/OracleBI/web/msgdb/CustomMessages/forecast.xml): Sax parser returned an exception.
Message: Invalid document structure, Entity publicId: /app/oracle/product/OBIEE10133/OracleBI/web/msgdb/CustomMessages/forecast.xml, Entity systemId: , Line number: 2, Column number: 1^M
Error Codes: UH6MBRBC^M
Could you please let me know what is wrong with my xml file? By the way I only want to do an update to my table. Also I have followed all the examples from Venkat and others but I stil cannot get it to work.
Regards
Adnan

It's already good to know that the file gets picked up.
What I don't understand: "The log files are not being updated with the error however when I re-save my Answer it is populating the log file to state that the object already existed."?
I had to put a fake "insert" statement to get it working once. Here's the example:
