No Results when Filter - Essbase OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1

Hi,
We have created a repository using Oracle Business Intelligence 10.1.3.4.1 and Essbase 11.1.1.
The cube contains 5 dimensions.
When we create a Chart using Answers and filter the results (not shown in the columns) we do not get the results as it gives following No records found.
No Results
The specified criteria didn't result in any data. This is often caused by applying filters that are too restrictive or that contain incorrect values. Please check your Request Filters and try again. The filters currently being applied are shown below.
But If we change the criteria to show the filtered columns it shows the results in Table view and Chart.
*With Column = 3 Records
SELECT "Year"."Gen2,Year" saw_0, Product."Gen2,Product" saw_1, Deposit.Balance saw_2 FROM "Deposit#1" WHERE "Year"."Gen2,Year" = '2009' ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1
*WithOut = No Recors
SELECT Product."Gen2,Product" saw_0, Deposit.Balance saw_1 FROM "Deposit#1" WHERE "Year"."Gen2,Year" = '2009' ORDER BY saw_0
Any Reason for this matter? Since we used the same Cube on older version of OBIEE, it was working fine.
Regards,
Nilaksha.

It's one of the weird behaviours you face from time to time when using OBIEE and Essbase. Filtered columns need to be present in the request in order for the analysis to stop showing "No Results".
I haven't found any workaround yet and there's nothing to be seen in the change/enhancement requests existing on MOS right now.
Cheers,
C.

Results on query with filter, but zero results when filter removed

I have been handed the below query and I may be missing something blindingly obvious here but if i run it i get no results
SELECT lipqoh
FROM f41021 a , f0006 b
          WHERE      b.mcmcu = a.limcu AND
               b.mcstyl = 'W';
if i add the filter a.liitm = 105900 like below data is returned (although the entries are 0 as expected at the moment, this is not always the case)
SELECT lipqoh
FROM f41021 a , f0006 b
          WHERE      b.mcmcu = a.limcu AND
               b.mcstyl = 'W'
a.liitm = 105900;
the fields for each of the tables mentioned in the query have the following characteristics
lipqoh Number NULLABLE
mcmcu Char(12 BYTE) NOT NULLABLE
mcstyl Char(2 BYTE) NULLABLE
liitm Number NOT NULLABLE
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated

here is a small sample of the output from the query you provided, the explain plan for the query without additional filter does not mention an index just Partition List Table Access F41021 Full

Essbase Security filter in OBIEE 11.1.1.6 request

Hello Experts
I have got a requirement whereby I need to apply Data Level Securityfor the Essbase sourced cube in OBIEE11g. But the issue is the dimension value where I need to apply security filter has 25K distinct values and is Unbalanced Hierarchy where the leaf members is distributed across differnet level . Actually it is ragged heirarchy in Cube which when imported in OBIEE becomes a Level Based Heirarchy where the leafs becomes shared across differnet level. Now the general OBIEE rule says - Create separate application groups for each lowest level dimension vales and apply security filters for each values respectively for each group and assign users in those groups.
But the issue is :
1. Here there are 25 K members in the dimesional value where I need to apply Data Level Security . So it is not possible to create 25K distinct group.
2. The dimension which needs to be used for Data level security has Ragged Hierarchy where the lowest leaf (which would eb used in security filter) is shared across differnet levels.So there is no single column that I can select in RPD to apply security filter.
Pls. suggest a solution.
Is there a way that I can source the Essbase Filters to work as Data Level security in OBIEE 11.1.1.6

You can upgrade to 11.1.1.7 and use Weblogic to assign security, then EAS to apply filters, and then OBIEE Enterprise Mgr to apply the application roles (i.e. via Essbase Filters). The gotcha is that you need to install OBIEE 11.1.1.7 and include the Essbase component as part of the install.
If you need more info let me know.

ASO MDX IsLevel weirds result when a parent with only a child

Hi,
I am using the function IsLevel but I find funny results when I apply it with a parent member with only a child.
The result of the function is the level of the child
I am doing it in Essbase 11.1.2.2
Has anyone had the same issue?

Hi Tim,
It is true, it is an implied share issue.
With the parent as never share works.
I don't remember that it happens with BSO, not with the attributes of the members (level, generation, UDA).

Web Repository: Result Resource Filter not filtering

I have an issue with the result of my Result Resource Filter. Maybe somebody can point me to my mistake ?
In site B i have several languages that i don't want to show, since they are the same, but the URL is different.
I am ending up with the same site appearing several times, where it should only appear twice (English and German)
I have a site A, which also posseses the /index.php.
The language parameter can appear twice when a language switch is done, but the last language parameter will be used.
http://www.siteB.com/index.php?id=10&L=10&L=7
http://www.siteB.com/index.php?id=10&L=11&L=7
http://www.siteB.com/index.php?id=10&L=7
http://www.siteB.com/index.php?id=10&L=8&L=7
The only languages should be 7 and 0
The result resource filter settings are :
- Include Documents/ web-Pages : true
- Item ID Mode : exclude
- Item ID Pattern: siteB.com/index.php&L=8,siteB.com/index.php&L=9,siteB.com/index.php&L=10, siteB.com/index.php&L=11
I tried before just using "/index...." , but that did not work either. And i want to be sure that correct URL is filtered....
With this setup i would excect, that only this pages appear:
http://www.siteB.com/index.php?id=10&L=7
http://www.siteB.com/index.php?id=10&L=0
but they appear all.....
Regards,
Kai

Hi Kai.
Assuming your correct links may look like
http://www.siteB.com/index.php?id=10&L=7
http://www.siteB.com/index.php?id=7&L=0
http://www.siteB.com/index.php?id=295&L=7
try this expression:
http://www\.siteB\.com/index\.php\?id=\d+\&L\=[07]
Hope it helps.

I'm having trouble with something that redirects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC. It's called the 'going on earth' virus. Do you have a fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?

I'm having trouble with a virus or something which affects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC ...
When I search a topic gives me pages of links as normal, but when I click on a link, the page is hijacked to a site called 'www.goingonearth.com' ...
I've done a separate search and found that other users are affected, but there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut solution ... (Norton, McAfee and Kaspersky don't seem to be able to detect/fix it).
I'd like to continue using the Firefox/Google combination (nb: the hijack virus also affects IE but not Safari) - do you have a patch/fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?
thanks

''' "... vulnerability in your software?" ''' 
And it affects IE, too? Ya probably picked up some malware and you blame it on Firefox.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy.

Hi sunil,
Rod is referencing the NLS parameters i.e.
Can you please let me know which NLS parameters you are referring toNLS parameters in this scenerio may be the date and language for that session.Do check out
SELECT * from NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS
how i can check if there any differences in the NLS parameters when report is scheduled or run interactivelyI think you should run the trace file.Iam not sure about it.
It would be system_context.
Hope it helps you.

SQL Query produces different results when inserting into a table

I have an SQL query which produces different results when run as a simple query to when it is run as an INSERT INTO table SELECT ...
The query is:
SELECT   mhldr.account_number
,        NVL(MAX(DECODE(ap.party_sysid, mhldr.party_sysid,ap.empcat_code,NULL)),'UNKNWN') main_borrower_status
,        COUNT(1) num_apps
FROM     app_parties ap
SELECT   accsta.account_number
,        actply.party_sysid
,        RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY actply.table_sysid, actply.loanac_latype_code ORDER BY start_date, SYSID) ranking
FROM     activity_players actply
,        account_status accsta
WHERE    1 = 1
AND      actply.table_id (+) = 'ACCGRP'
AND      actply.acttyp_code (+) = 'MHLDRM'
AND      NVL(actply.loanac_latype_code (+),TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(accsta.account_number,9,2))) = TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(accsta.account_number,9,2))
AND      actply.table_sysid (+) = TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(accsta.account_number,1,8))
) mhldr
WHERE    1 = 1
AND      ap.lenapp_account_number (+) = TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(mhldr.account_number,1,8))
GROUP BY mhldr.account_number;      The INSERT INTO code:
TRUNCATE TABLE applicant_summary;
INSERT /*+ APPEND */
INTO     applicant_summary
( account_number
, main_borrower_status
, num_apps
SELECT   mhldr.account_number
,        NVL(MAX(DECODE(ap.party_sysid, mhldr.party_sysid,ap.empcat_code,NULL)),'UNKNWN') main_borrower_status
,        COUNT(1) num_apps
FROM     app_parties ap
SELECT   accsta.account_number
,        actply.party_sysid
,        RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY actply.table_sysid, actply.loanac_latype_code ORDER BY start_date, SYSID) ranking
FROM     activity_players actply
,        account_status accsta
WHERE    1 = 1
AND      actply.table_id (+) = 'ACCGRP'
AND      actply.acttyp_code (+) = 'MHLDRM'
AND      NVL(actply.loanac_latype_code (+),TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(accsta.account_number,9,2))) = TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(accsta.account_number,9,2))
AND      actply.table_sysid (+) = TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(accsta.account_number,1,8))
) mhldr
WHERE    1 = 1
AND      ap.lenapp_account_number (+) = TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(mhldr.account_number,1,8))
GROUP BY mhldr.account_number;      When run as a query, this code consistently returns 2 for the num_apps field (for a certain group of accounts), but when run as an INSERT INTO command, the num_apps field is logged as 1. I have secured the tables used within the query to ensure that nothing is changing the data in the underlying tables.
If I run the query as a cursor for loop with an insert into the applicant_summary table within the loop, I get the same results in the table as I get when I run as a stand alone query.
I would appreciate any suggestions for what could be causing this odd behaviour.
Cheers,
Steve

Yes, using COUNT(*) gives the same result as COUNT(1).
I have found another example of this kind of behaviour:
Running the following INSERT statements produce different values for the total_amount_invested and num_records fields. It appears that adding the additional aggregation (MAX(amount_invested)) is causing problems with the other aggregated values.
Again, I have ensured that the source data and destination tables are not being accessed / changed by any other processes or users. Is this potentially a bug in Oracle?Just as a side note, these are not INSERT statements but CTAS statements.
The only non-bug explanation for this behaviour would be a potential query rewrite happening only under particular circumstances (but not always) in the lower integrity modes "trusted" or "stale_tolerated". So if you're not aware of any corresponding materialized views, your QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY parameter is set to the default of "enforced" and your explain plan doesn't show any "MAT_VIEW REWRITE ACCESS" lines, I would consider this as a bug.
Since you're running on 10.2.0.2 it's not unlikely that you hit one of the various "wrong result" bugs that exist(ed) in Oracle. I'm aware of a particular one I've hit in 10.2.0.2 when performing a parallel NESTED LOOP ANTI operation which returned wrong results, but only in parallel execution. Serial execution was showing the correct results.
If you're performing parallel ddl/dml/query operations, try to do the same in serial execution to check if it is related to the parallel feature.
You could also test if omitting the "APPEND" hint changes anything but still these are just workarounds for a buggy behaviour.
I suggest to consider installing the latest patch set 10.2.0.4 but this requires thorough testing because there were (more or less) subtle changes/bugs introduced with [10.2.0.3|http://oracle-randolf.blogspot.com/2008/02/nasty-bug-introduced-with-patch-set.html] and [10.2.0.4|http://oracle-randolf.blogspot.com/2008/04/overview-of-new-and-changed-features-in.html].
You could also open a SR with Oracle and clarify if there is already a one-off patch available for your 10.2.0.2 platform release. If not it's quite unlikely that you are going to get a backport for 10.2.0.2.

How to keep filename in textfield when filter is changed in a filechooser

Hi, guys,
I met a problem to keep filename in textfield when filter is changed in a filechooser
for example, a JFileChooser has two filters
*.jpg
*.png
Before I open JFileChooser, I used setSelectedFile(File) to set "aaa.jpg" as default name in textfield.
when I change the filter to "*.png, ", I want to change the text in textfield to "aaa.png", Actually, I used setSelectedFile(File), If there is an existed file named "aaa.png", this file will be selected on fileView, but the name will not be shown on the textfield. Anybody has ideas?
Thanks in advanced.

I really thank you for your answer, but it seems you misunderstand what I said because of my poor english..
what I said is:
after you open the filechooser, the filechooser has a combobox to choose file filter and a field to show filename.
what I want is:
when you open the filechooser, initial name in field is "test. jpg"
change filter, "test.jpg" will be change to "test.gif" in the field.
I don't want to close the filechooser.
That's why I used a listener to listen JFileChooser.FILE_FILTER_CHANGED_PROPERTY event.
and I modified your codes

"Milky" or faint results when exporting from AE to FCP

(Accidently posted to FCP Express forum-- whoops!)
I've been using After Effects for years now to create graphics for our Avid projects, and the QT results have always been great. Clean, sharp moving graphics. But now that I've been using FCP, I'm not exactly happy when I export my Quicktime graphics from After Effects to FCP: they're extremely "milky" and faint/fuzzy when viewed from FCP over an NTSC monitor. I have tried various codecs when exporting: DV/NTSC, Animation, Component-- all with the same results.
I have read other threads with similar comments (even the thread that mentioned "milky" results when exporting from FCP to AE and back) but none of the suggestions/remarks helped in my situation.
I'm sure others have experienced this. Any suggestions?
Settings:
After Effects comp: NTSC/DV Preset (720 x 480, lower field, etc.)
Export Codecs: DV/DVCPro-NTSC, Animation, Component (all with the same milky results)
Final Cut: Sequence Preset "DV/NTSC 48 Khz"
Also tried using, as one thread suggested, the "Uncompressed 8 bit NTSC 48 Khz" preset and no difference
Side note: I'm using Final Cut in this system outputting to both DV video and Betacam video, using an Aja card for the Beta. Both DV and Beta results look the same (going straight thru the decks-to-NTSC monitor) and they both use the same "DV/NTSC 48 Khz" sequence preset-- except where I changed it to "Uncompressed 8 bit". If I use Animation or Component as my export codec from AE, naturally, I have to render to play the clip back in the timeline. It even looks milky or faint on the FCP source/viewer screens!
And yes, I've checked the NTSC monitor-- a Sony Trinitron PVM-20 monitor. And I've looked at the results on other monitors and even regular TVs. Milky/faint video all around.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

Is this on files with alpha channels? Have you tried
changing the Alpha type? Are you having
pre-multiplication problems?
No, they don't have alpha channels. But I did try, when rendering with Animation, changing the colors to "Millions +" which was something I read on another thread. Same results.
Basically, these are After Effects projects with simple backgrounds and moving text. I'm not doing any layering with alpha channels-- like lower third supers.
However, whenever I use Apple programs like LiveType or Motion, the NTSC results look like they did while I was creating the projects with these programs before I rendered them.

I upgraded my new iPad (iPad 3) to IOS 6 and everything went well except Siri won't launch apps. When asked say "launch Facebook" Siri responds with "it doesn't look like you have an app named Facebook" and I get the same results when trying to launch any

I upgraded my new iPad (iPad 3) to IOS 6 and everything went well except Siri won’t launch apps. When asked say “launch Facebook” Siri responds with “it doesn’t look like you have an app named Facebook” and I get the same results when trying to launch any app. Siri works for everything else it just won’t launch apps. Any ideas? Thanks.

I have this same problem... Seems like nobody else does. Siri won't launch any apps for me, including native apps.

VA01 ATP incorrecct results when delivery date is programmatically changed

Hi Guru's,
When creating or modifying a sales order (VA01 & VA02), we need to programmatically assign the delivery date a) for certain customers or b) when the delivery priority is changed from downs to regular order and visa-versa. For examples: 1) user enters a delivery date 02/01/2012, the program (userexit_check_vbep) will automatically replace it with a calculated
date (i.e.. 2/20/2012). 2) if user changes the delivery priority from regular order to a downs order, the program will automatically replace delivery date to current date.
But are getting incorrect ATP results when requested delivery date (based on what user enters in VBAP-LPRIO "delivery priority") is programmatically changed and then user manually enters the date and run ATP (see steps 8 & 9 below).
VA01 execution steps:
1) Used VA01 and entered a material of quantity 1, requested date 2/01/2012, delivery priority = regular. Date was overwritten automatically with program calculated date 2/20/2012 as expected.
2) ATP automatically ran successfully for the initial entry.
3) I then changed the delivery priority from regular order to downs order & requested delivery date was automatically changed to current date 02/01/2012 as expected.
4) ran ATP manually and all is well.
5) I then changed the delivery priority back to a regular order and date was automatically changed back to 02/20/2012 as expected.
6) I ran ATP manually and again all is well.
7) I then manually changed the delivery date 02/25/2012.
Incorrect / bad results:
8) ATP then passed back 2 sub-items lines with the quantity of 1 each. The quantity on the main line item is doubled to 2.
9) I then tried to delete the main line item manually to start all over, but the transaction just hangs because it tries to go to ATP, but cannot resolve what to delete.
Do you have any suggestions to help resolve this?
The following SAP user-exits were modified:
a) MV45AFZB
1) userexit_check_vbap
- for certain customers (a custom "override days" field stored in VBAP is populated), delivery date is automatically calculated using this field (i.e. current date + override days). If user entered date < calculated date, calculated date is used (xvbep-edatu).
- If user changes delivery priority, xvbep-edatu will be set automatically to either the calculated date (regular order) or current date (downs order).
2) userexit_check_vbep : if user enters a delivery date (vbep-edatu), it is checked against calculated delivery date & overwritten, if it is < calculated date.
b) MV45AFZZ - userexit_move_field_to_vbap :
- override days is determined & delivery date is automatically calculated. If user entered date < calculated date, calculated date is used (xvbep-edatu).
- If user changes delivery priority, xvbep-edatu will be set automatically to either the calculated date (reg.order) or current date (downs order)
Reason for updating xvbep: if only vbap-lprio or vbap-override (custom field) fields are changed, the VBEP user exit routines (userexit_move_field_to vbep or userexit_check_vbep) do not run. Change to xvbep does trigger userexit_check_vbep.
Please advise.
Joe

This is not an SD question and should be moved to ABAP forum. It seems to me that the issue is not with incorrect ATP but with the subitems / main item updated incorrectly. This needs to be resolved by a developer who wrote the user exit. Most likely either a user exit is triggered when not expected or a wrong line updated, etc. Debugger should be helpful.
Also instead of setting delivery priority, why can't the users just change the delivery date to current date? This seems just as easy to me...

What is use of protect filter in OBIEE

Hi guys,
Could you please let me know what is use of Protect filter in OBIEE ?
Regards,
sk

"Protect filter" basically "hard-codes" a filter so that it won't be overwritten.
Say you want to always filter a column for "X," but also want to include a value from a dashboard prompt. So you write the following:
table.column = 'X'
or
table.column "Is prompted"
The user chooses the value "Y" from the prompt and the filters now look like this:
table.column = 'Y'
or
table.column = 'Y'
Gone is the "X" value because it was overwritten by the prompt. If you protect the top filter, you will get:
table.column = 'X'
or
table.column = 'Y'

Unexpected results, when creating a pdf from Illustrator (cs3)

A customer has supplied a 'print ready' pdf, created in Illustrator [cs3]. The file contains grey text [20% black], but when they have printed to pdf [using acrobat 8], the breakdown of the 'grey' changes in colour to a cmyk value [45,36,35,1) instead of 0,0,0,20 as originally created in Illustrator.
I've replicated the customers error from scratch, and have found that, when you save [save-as] the file as a pdf [using acrobat 8 settings] and resulting pdf is correct = 20% black.
These errors where generated using a pc platform. We also tried to reproduce the error on our Mac's, but the Mac system didn't generate any issues.
Does anyone know why illustrator would produce [using the same native file] two different results when producing pdf's? We've check all colour management, etc. and still can't figure out why this is happening.

I have heard of this issue, but trying to remember is an issue by itself. lol. Seams to me there is an option for true blacks 0,0,0,? and cmy blacks ?,?,?,0. I am almost positive there are a few threads on this forum about this.
