OBIEE 11g Ago Function

Hi All,
I am using ago function in Answers it works fine
But
when observing the data, data is mismatched at particular Product category, why because two category s (A,B)   has same subcategory name (Basic)
CAT       Sub Cat
A ------        Basic
A ------       Value Add
A ------       High
B -------     Basic
B ------       low
B ------     medium
My report has five columns like CM -1 , CM-2,CM-3,CM-4,CM-5 ,
when i was selecting cat A and subcat is Basic, Data as below ....
CM-1         CM-2     CM-3     CM -4    CM -5
A basic   A basic B basic B basic   A basic
if sub cat name is different no issue
Please help me.
Regards
Rm

You can create a compound key of Cat + SubCat (concatenation in a logical column is a quick win) which will render the SubCats unique and assign that as the logical level key:
SubCat:
A-Basic
A-Value Add
A-High
B-Basic

OBIEE 10g AGO Function Dynamically Change the Heading

I created columns in my rpd named Sales Previous Month, Sales 2 months ago and Sales 3 months ago using the AGO Function. This is working fine.
My problem is when displaying these headings the users would like to see the Month Name instead of the Headings I created. For example if looking at a report for January the users would like to see:
Sales Previous Month = December
Sales 2 Months ago = November
Sales 3 Months ago = October
Is there any way to dynamically change the value of the column header to show the name of the month?

Hi SriniVEERAVALLI,
Thanks for the reply. I have found that I might haven't created the relationship between dimension and fact tables correctly.
I initially created the foreign key relationship (instead of creating complex join) in physical diagram between the dimension and fact table. And the relationship type is hence greyed out.
I have deleted the foreign key relationship in physical diagram. Then
1. In physical diagram, create complex join between dimension and fact . The relationship is 'inner' and can't be changed.
2. In Logical table diagram, create foreign key between dimension and fact . The relationship can be changed (inner, outer, etc).
Is this the correct way?
I tried these on two newly created dummy tables and it worked.

OBIEE 11g EVALUATE function working fine with Administrator but

Is there any parameters that we have to set for the user level to use Evaluate ?

OBIEE 11g time series: regression on ago / todate function ?

Hello,
We are testing the migration to OBIEE 11G.
We are currently in 10.3 version
We have a problem on AGO / TO_DATE OBIEE functions that returns null results on existing reports.
In 10.3 version, these functions work properly with the actual TIME dimension.
Here is how we designed time Dimension:
TOTAL -> Year -> Quarter -> MONTH -> WEEK -> DATE_KEY, FULL_DATE
DATE_KEY is a number and referenced as a foreign key on our fact table.
CREATE TABLE TD_DATE
+(+
DATE_KEY NUMBER (11) NOT NULL,
FULL_DATE DATE
WEEK NUMBER (2),
MONTH NUMBER (2),
QUARTER NUMBER (1)
YEAR NUMBER (4),
TOTAL_DATE VARCHAR2 (11 BYTE)
+)+
Database version: Oracle 11g
All elements of the dimension are chronological key (except full date) in order to optimize performance.
Have you encountered similar problems in inplémentation of AGO / TO_DATE function on version 11g?
Thanks,
Romain

Does a month have always the same number of week and begin with the first day of a week ?
If it's not the case, your dimension is not good when you make a report on the week grain for a year ago for instance.

Does ago function works at day level in obiee 11g

Hi,
I want to know does AGO function works well at day level in Obiee 11.1.1.6 .
Edited by: user12635494 on May 8, 2012 2:58 AM

Yes, it will work. Just double click the Time level (say year/month/week), mark it as a chronological key (on keys tab). Use that in your AGO function

AGO function is not returning value in OBIEE 11g

I have 2 tables FIN_MASTER AND FIN_TRANS.
FIN_MASTER is having the following fields org_code, type_code, vr_no, vr_Date, pay_to .FIN_TRANS is having the columns org_code, type_code, vr_no, acct_code. debit, credit.
PK of FIN_MASTER is org_code, type_code, vr_no
PK of FIN_TRANS is org_code, type_code, vr_no, acct_code
I have imported these two tables in to physical layer and created join between these two tables on the following keys. org_code, type_code, vr_no. Then i dragged these two to BMM layer. Now i created 3 new logical columns in DIM_FIN_MASTER as year, quarter, month. These 3 columns are created using the functions year(vr_date), month(vr_date), quarter_of_year(vr_date). Then i created a dimension heirarchy called TIME( structure type is TIME) from this DIM_FIN_MASTER. and set chronological key on month level. Then I applied the AGO function on debit column with month level. After that, repository is uploaded and BI server is restarted. Now amount is not displaying in AGO function column in analytics. That column is appearing as empty.
Please advise me.

Here is the dirty fix, I'm heading off to sleep.
If the function CurrentAdId doesn't return a number, then
this will ensure it returns 0 (prevents your error, may not display
an ad):
<CFFUNCTION
NAME="CurrentAdId"
ACCESS="Private"
RETURNTYPE="numeric"
HINT="For internal use. Returns the Id of the current ad in
rotation.">

<cfset var returnVal = ListGetAt(THIS.AdList,
THIS.CurrentListPos)>
<cfif NOT IsNumeric(returnVal)>
<cfset returnVal = 0>
</cfif>
<CFRETURN returnVal>
</CFFUNCTION>

Does OBIEE 11.1.1.7 support AGO function at Week level

Hi,
I have a time dimension with Year,Quarter,Month,Week and Day Levels.
Year - 2013,2012...
Quarter- Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4
Month - 1,2,3..12
Week - 1,2,...52
Day - Date_id (20130101...(YYYYMMDD).
My Keys are : Year Level(Year_Number)
Quarter Level (Year+Quarter Number)
Month Level(Year+Month number)
Week Level(Year+Week number)
Day - Date_id(also defined as chronological keys)
I am creating a AGO(Measure,Level,1) in answers for Year and Week Level and they don't render correct results.
I started building the hierarchy with only Year and Day levels..verified the results - Looks Ok.
Similar fashion proceeded with Year,Quarter,Month and Day - Looks OK.
When I introduce Week level - All the AGO values are incorrect.
Any help on this is really appreciated.
Regards,
Swetha

Thanks Srini Veeravalli for your reply.
Yes I have verified it thoroughly.I have implemented this before on 10G for other customers and I don't feel that something is wrong with it .

OBIEE 11g Dashboard Prompt Reset Button Functionality

Dear Experts,
Can anyone explain what is the exact functionality of 'Reset' Button in any OBIEE 11g Dashboard Prompt.
If anyone found any documentation related to it... please let me know.
thanks,
Varun

Hi Varun,
This is the functionality of Reset button,
Reset will go back to last applied values. It does not clear values. Currently the Reset button works in the following ways:
if 1) the prompt is blank 2) select some value, 3) reset 4) it should go back to blank.
if 1) the prompt is blank 2) select some value, 3) apply 4) reset. 5) it should NOT to back to blank. actually it does not change anything.
if 1) the prompt is blank 2) select some value, 3) apply 4) change any values 5) reset. 6) it should undo any changes in step 4.
Rgds,
Dpka

Issues with integrating Java script functions in OBIEE 11G

Hello experts..
I am trying to integrate some Javascript functions in my OBIEE 11G Dashboard..
I have modified the original common.js file and renamed it as insight_common.js in the following directory (backed up the original file of course)
OBIEE 11G Folder/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/bi_server1/tmp/_WL_user/analytics_11.1.1/7dezjl/war/res/b_mozilla/insight_common.js
In my dashboard, I have a dashboard object as text component where I have checked 'Contains HTML Markup'. I have written the following code:
hello
<script src="/res/b_mozilla/insight_common.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
sayHi();
</script>
However, when I launch the dashboard, it is not working.
In the Google Chrome browser as I inspected the element to investigate the reason, I am getting the following error under 'console'
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://localhost/res/b_mozilla/insight_common.js
Uncaught ReferenceError: sayHi is not defined saw.dll:611
It seems that OBIEE is not recognizing the new file that I made..
Is there a way around this?
Thanks

Srini
I don't have backgrounds in coding, so a lot of what I wrote came from my own researching...
Now I have tried your latest suggestions again as the below:
1.<script type="text/javascript" src="res/b_mozilla/insight_common.js">
sayHi();
</script>
and
2.
<script type="text/javascript" src="res/test.js"></script> ----- in my case: <script type="text/javascript" src="res/b_mozilla/is_common,js"></script>
Now both codes this time do not yield any outputs when launching the dashboard. The section is blank and the preview of the Text section in the dashboard is blank as well..
So, are you sure these are all the steps I need to take to call javascript function in OBIEE?
Do I need to define anything in weblogic or other places?
I hope I am not missing any steps..
Thanks and let me know..

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,
Balaa...

Problem with AGO function in OBIEE

Hi I am new to OBIEE,
I am working on Trend Analysis of ETL Mappings,
I am using AGO Function to get the Previous day Elapse Time of a mapping but while generating the report its behaving in a strange way.
like
AGO("BI Performance"."Map Val Fact"."Elapse Time Minutes","BI Performance".ETLStartDim."Day",1) -- Day Ago Elapse time
AGO("BI Performance"."Map Val Fact"."Elapse Time Minutes","BI Performance".ETLStartDim."Day",2) -- Two Day Ago Elapse time
For example, in database there is date like
Date Elapse Time
2nd June 10 min
1st June 11 min
30th may 10 min
My date in Report should be like
Date Elapse Time Day Ago Elapse Time Two Day Ago Elapse Time
2nd June 10 11 10
But the date coming over here is
Date Elapse Time Day Ago Elapse Time Two Day Ago Elapse Time
2nd June 10
3rd June 10
4th June 10
So if any one could help me out of this, it would of great help.
With Regards
