OBIEE 11g .0d date issue

Hi,
I create an initialization block to populate a couple of repository variables.
After saving the RDP the value for the default initializer changes from 2011 to 2011.0d
I have been using several workaround. But I need some permanent fix in rpd itself. Can anyone point to some Oracle Document? Is this issue been resolved in latest release of OBIEE. I am using 11.1.1.6.6.

You have to do it where ever you are using that rep. variable not in the init block.

VARBINARY problems in OBIEE 11g importing data from DB2 AS/400 V6R1

Hi all,
I have set up a connection between OBIEE 11g version 11.1.1.6.0 and DB2 AS/400 V6R1.
It is working fine for most of the data types, but we have the following cast sentence in a view:
CAST(
CASE WHEN A.RCATLY IN ( 1250 , 1000 ) THEN F.DESCRIPTION3 ELSE
CASE WHEN A.RCATLY=12 THEN 'AUM' ELSE
CASE WHEN F.KEYASL3='AL_EXCLUDED' THEN 'Other open items' ELSE
'AUM' END END END AS CHAR(50)) AS POS_CAT,
CAST(CASE WHEN F.DESCRIPTION3 IS NULL THEN 'Securities' ELSE F.DESCRIPTION3
END AS CHAR(50)) AS POS_DESCR
We are importing this view into OBIEE 11.1.1.6, the fileds POS_CAT and POS_DESCR are coming as BINARY, we also have tried to cast them to VARCHAR, they come as VARBINARY instead.
When we try to see the fields in a report we are getting the error below:
Error Codes: OAMP2OPY:Q4NU7XSN
Invalid Handle Of 'const saw::ExpressionBase*' Exception
I have tried to cast this fileds to VARCHAR in administration, no luck, error below:
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.

Any suggestion?

Thanks for your quick response, I have tried to change it in the phisycal layer, to CHAR, VARCHAR, same error, it didn't work.

OBIEE 11G - Common Prod issues

Hi,
I manage a team of OBIEE 11g Resources. i do not have hands on experience in OBIEE but been managing the team for the last 4 months.I do understand basics OBIEE 11G concepts and understand the different layers and i have good SQL skills.
Am currently in the US and have been asked to be the level 1 support for OBIEE issues in Prod.( I really wonder why am asked to do so :( )
Am trying to get myself prepared to handle OBIEE 11G issues as our first projects move to Prod end of this month.
Am looking for a list of common prod issues one might generally face in production in OBIEE 11G and as to how to get prepared to be able to look at the issue and be able to see what the issue is. From there on i might delegate it to the OBIEE resources offshore.
Can someone throw some light on this please ??
Thanks,
Chan

Browser Cache issues - might display staled results to users.
Make sure your power users run requests with filters.
Excel downloads - might be missing rows /columns based on version of 11g.
If you have data level security enabled, you might get not all results displayed complaint.
Staled data - due to gaps in cache management.
Make sure you get exact error message, to search for resolution.
most of the issues might be listed in support.oracle.com / blogs / here-
hope this helps..

OBIEE 11g: Dashboard Javascript Issue

Hi Gurus,
We have upgraded obiee from 10g to 11g and finding issues with javascript in a dashboard.
Functionality: There are some custom labels showing prompt values in it with large font. When user change prompt value and Apply, it should change the value of those text as well.
In 10g its running fine, but in 11g its not happening after we change the value of prompts. I found the following Javascript is responsible for this functionality. Even I saw one thread to suggest the exactly same code, but in 10g.
<script type="text/javascript">
(function(){
var tblTag = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
var tdElem= document.getElementsByTagName('td');
for(m=0;m<tdElem.length;m++){
if(tdElem[m].className=='GFPSubmit'){tdElem[m].childNodes[0].tBodies[0].rows[0].cells[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].innerHTML='Run Report';
}//close if statement
}//close for loop
}// close function clickVal()
</script>
Thread:
Change Go Button Text on Prompt Only
I need to understand what its actually doing? and Does it really work in 11g? Whats the alternative code?
Thanks in advance.

In 10g these are the html objects, after upgrade you need to know the html objects for that report based on that you need to modify javascript code.
From given code, activity is doing on these objects; You need to find out the equivalent object name for 'GFPSubmit' in 11g.
GFPSubmit
table
td

i have only one data column created_at. by using this column i create 3 more logical logical columns, which are Year,Month Name,Week and created Hierarchy by taking the these columns only.
when i am viewing the result by taking the hierarchy it throwing the error systax error"ou have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version".
but we selecting the year column it successfully nagvigating to the month level data but when selecting the Hierarchy directly it is unable to navigate from year to month.
please provide me the solution for this as soon as possbile i have an urgent requirement on this.

Obiee 11g Chart sorting issue

Hi All,
I am trying to plot a graph in OBIEE 11g answers which shows Calendar Month in X-axis and percentage of marks in Y-axis,
in such a way that Calendar Month in X-axis should be in the order Jan Feb Mar Apr .....(where as now it is Apr Aug Feb ... which is sorted in ascending order) Calender month is a calculated column in the report which has the following calculation
case when cal_month=1 then 'Jan'
case when cal_month=2 then 'Feb'
case when cal_month=12 then 'Dec'
How do i arrange the calendar month in a proper order of Jan Feb Mar .....
Please advise
Thanks,
LonaD

I've already mentioned OOB column to use, I'm not sure about your data. If you dont have it then might go for workaround to get number 1 to 12.
BTW:Existing column 'Col month' as referred is not helping you?
For ex: work around might be something like
cast(substring("Year",3,2) as int)
Mark if helps
Edited by: Srini VEERAVALLI on Feb 5, 2013 12:43 AM
you can create same in rpd so that you can sort it._
Or else can go with work around using year column as above_

OBIEE 11g Calendar alignment issue

Facts: OBIEE 11g - 11.1.5 on Windows 2003 server.
There's an alignment issue going on with OBIEE calendar, wich happens only when the month is october. For all other months, the calendar is displayed properly. It does not depend on the year. You may change the year and select October, you'll get the error.
You might see what happens on the link below.
http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/7876/firefoxds.jpg
This behavior may occur when using IE9 (both using compatibility mode or not), Mozila Firefox and Google Chrome.
I've looked over Metalink and the forums and could not find any information about this error.
Any tips?!
Thanks!

OBIEE 11g on windows issue

Has anyone had any success in installing OBIEE (11.1.1.5), DAC (10.1.3.4.1), Informatica (9.0.1 hotfix 2) and Oracle BI Apps (7.9.6.3) on Linux 64 bit?
We have been provided 2 physical Linux servers (say A & B) and 1 virtual server (say C) for the same. We were able to install obiee 11g on linux x86 machine (A). We were able to also install the Informatica server (9.0.1 hotfilx 2) and DAC server on the machine (B). As per e-delivery, Bi apps 7.9.6.3 is not available for linux x86_64 bit platform, hence we have downloaded for windows and planning to install on windows machine(C).
So i have followed this doc http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E20490_01/bia.7963/e19038.pdf section 4.1 for installaing. so it says to install OBIEE complete install(same one which we did on linux machine A) so when i started installing OBIEE enterprise install i am using the same dev_biplatform and mds schema details on windows too but it says it already exist on the database. so i got struck here. So what kind of install do we need to do on windows for OBIEE because after that when we perform OBIA installation we need to provide the OBIEE isntallation paths like webloic home,middleware home, etc so that it will create all the metadata files rpd,catalog,obia_bw.rep etc.
So once it is success i would move the OBIA respective files to linux machine A and B.
please help me with this.
Thanks,
RM

OBIEE 11g SSL Configuration Issue : Unable to import the Server certs

Hello All,
We are trying to configure OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0 with SSL using Windows server 2003 (IIS) and facing some issues with that.
Followed the document : OBIEE11g SSL Setup and Configuration [1326781.1]
http://obieedue.blogspot.sg/2012/08/obiee11g-ssl-setup-and-configuration.html
and also completed generating the required certificate signing request and keystores for SSL communication and sent it to the CA (IT Admin team) to to have the certificate signed by CA. The issue comes when I am trying to import the CA certificate (Root certificate) and Server Certificate into the Java Keystore.
I am importing the Root CA Certificate first which is successfully added to the keystore.
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias mycacert -file cacert.pem -keystore mykeystore.jks -storepass Welcome1
Trust this certificate? [no]: yes
Certificate was added to keystore.
But when trying to add the Server Certificate to the keystore using the command below :
keytool -import -v -alias testserver -file server.cer -keystore mykeystore.jks -keypass Welcome1 -storepass Welcome1
Certificate reply was installed in keystore
I get the following error:
keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Failed to establish chain from reply
java.lang.Exception: Failed to establish chain from reply
at sun.security.tools.KeyTool.establishCertChain(KeyTool.java:2662)
at sun.security.tools.KeyTool.installReply(KeyTool.java:1870)
at sun.security.tools.KeyTool.doCommands(KeyTool.java:807)
at sun.security.tools.KeyTool.run(KeyTool.java:172)
at sun.security.tools.KeyTool.main(KeyTool.java:166)
Read many forums and tried to convert it to the PKCS#7 format and import the cert to the identity keystore, but was not successful in that either. I have also checked with the IT Admin team and found there is only one RootCA and no other intermediate CA's.
Please advice if any one has similar issues or suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
SVS

Hi,
One obvious reason would be that you did not specify -trustcacerts, and the root CA is not included in the present server keystore. In that case, using the -trustcacerts option would solve the problem, if the root CA is indeed in the JDK cacerts.
To print out the certificates present in the JDK cacerts, use the following command:
keytool -list -keystore <JAVA_HOME>/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit -v
Then check if the root CA that signed your server certificate is present, and has not expired (in which case,you would need to re-import a newer one into cacerts).
Another common reason for that error message is when you have used a proprietary CA to sign your server certificate. Then it would obviously not be in the JDK cacerts. The solution in that case is to import your proprietary root CA into the JDK cacerts, using the following command:
keytool -import -keystore <JAVA_HOME>/jre/lib/security/cacerts -file yourRootCA.pem -storepass changeit -alias youralias
A third reason for that error message is when your server was signed by an intermediate certificate. In that case, you would have received from your CA a chain of certificates. One way to solve this (not the only one, but this one works well): Prepend your intermediate CA file to your server cert file, and import the obtained concatenated file into the server keystore. Be careful, the intermediate CA must be BEFORE the server cert. Example:
copy rootca.cer certchain.p7b
type server.cer >> certchain.p7b
The file certchain.p7b will be the concatenation of the intermediate CA and the signed server cert. Then import the newly created file under the key alias as follows:
keytool -import -keystore serverks.jks -file certchain.p7b -alias yourkey -trustcacerts
If you only prepend the intermediate root CA, you must make sure the the final root CA is in cacerts. But you can also prepend your whole chain of trust inside the server keystore.

Kal

OBIEE 11g Map View - Issue with Label Translation

Hi All,
I have a strange translation issue with the Maps in 11g.
Created in English language to plot the Revenue for each of the Postal Codes.
I selected Postal Code and Revenue Amount in the Criteria and created a new Map View. It had the text 'Postal Code' in the Map Legend and then the scale for revenue amount.
Now I logged on with Chinese Language , it still appears as 'Postal Code' in English where in it was actually supposed to show it in Chinese.
We have a translation pack to get all the column names translated. If I try creating a new table view, it shows the translated text instead of 'Postal Code', but some how this doesn't work with Maps.
Has anyone faced similar issues ? Is there a workaround for this ?
Thanks for any pointers.

Hi,
I also encounter the same issue. When I view combined layout, I get the No Results message. But when I edit the table layout, I see that there are records returned. Does anyone had any luck in resolving this issue?
Thanks!

OBIEE 11G catalog security issue

I have the following (simplified) requirement:
- People with application role FIN should have access to analysis XYZ
- People with application role HR should have access to analysis ABC
- People with both application roles should have access to XYZ and ABC
The above seems pretty obvious and per http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E29505_01/bi.1111/e10543/mgrgrpsusers.htm#autoId16 this should work without further ado, since the least restrictive access should be granted when roles with different permissions (FIN has nog permissions on ABC and HR no permissions on XYZ) are granted, however...
We find that if role HR is not explicitly excluded from access to XYZ then it will always have access to XYZ. The same goed for FIN and ABC. But then when both roles are granted (with these explicit exclusions), user has access to neither XYZ or ABC. This actually makes sense, since explicit exclusions take precedence, but then how do I achieve my goal as stated above?
The same logic applies to subject areas. If not explicitly excluded for either of the two roles, access is always granted. But if explicitly excluded, granting both roles excludes both subject areas.
I have already checked inherited roles. The FIN and HR roles are based on standard BI Consumer roles, so they are both members of Authenticated User and BI Consumer. But even taking these into account, the same problem persists. Pretty sure I am overlooking something small and simple.

OBIEE 11g Hierarchy expanding issue

Hi Experts,
I have an Analysis report which I display hierarchy and I have many reports which contain hierarchy.
But I have a specific report which only expand up to 1 level only unlike my other Analysis reports which display the hierarchy up to the last level.
This report that only expand up to 1 level have many records (about 1.5K).
Can you help me fix/resolve this issue about the hierarchy
My OBIEE version is: 11.1.1.6 (11.1.1.6.0.120104.0152.000 to be exact).
My hierarchy is properly displayed in other reports but one of my reports, the hierarchy is not displaying well.
SCENARIO:
all reports have same hierarchy fields to be displayed:
report 1 (displays only 50 records or less) - good
report 2 (displays only 50 records or less) - good
report 3 (displays only 50 records or less) - good
report 4 (displays more than 1000 records) - not working
Thanks,

OBIEE 11g Security LDAP Issue

Hi,
I have an issue where certain LDAP users who were once able to log into OBI 11g now cannot.
This has only happened for those users who I have used the proxy ('Act As') functionality on ie. If UserA can login, and the Administration Act's As UserA, after an OBI restart UserA cannot log in anymore.
I have narrowed this issue down to the presenation catalog. If I swap the current catalog with the SampleAppLite catalog for example, the problem goes away i.e. the LDAP user (UserA in the example above) can log in fine.
I have also noticed while accessing the catalog via catalog manager, the Administrator cannot access the 'System' folder. This is with reference to the original catalog (which causes the issue with UserA above) that was upgrade from 10g to 11g.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

This is going to be almost impossible to diagnose without being logged in, in front of your application.
As a starting point I would recommend you check the permissions on each catalog element. Go to Catalog link > Change view to 'Admin View' > Catalog Root and then use the permissions link for that item and everything below. Ticking 'Show Hidden Items' will let you see the System folders.
Also check the privileges (Administration > Manage Privileges) as I seem to remember that the 'Act as Proxy' privilege is denied out of the box. Maybe something here is amiss.
It might be easiest to bite the bullet and create a new web catalog from scratch!

OBIEE 11g RPD deployment issue.

I have installed OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 32 bit on windows7.
I am getting issue while deploying RPD.
I clicked on Lock & Edit button and it enabled the "Browse" button.

I noticed following as soon as I select the new RPD file:
1. For a second my "New RPD file name" and "Update Button" appears under "deployment" tab but
2. Page automatically refreshes and comes back with blank (in "Repository File" field) and "Update Button" disappears.
Please help me..
Thanks..

Cnu,
