OBIEE 11g Session Management on a Scaled Out Implementation

Hi,
We have a scaled out environment of OBIEE 11.1.1.7, and noticed that Manage Sessions does not show all of the Sessions and queries.
For example,
User1 is Admin
User2, 3 and 4 are normal users logged it to OBIEE.
When I logged in as admin first time: I could see User1 (myself) and User 2. Then I signed out and signed in again. This time I could see User1 and User 3, 4 but not User 2.
Could this be due to sessions being show only for the presentation server I have logged into?
Servers:
4 Presentation Servers
2 BI Servers
2 Java host
1 Scheduler
1 Cluster Controller
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,
I would ask these questions in the weblogic.developer.interest.servlet
newsgroup.
I am currently scouring through documentation to find out if there ispre-existing
support for the following or if I need to implement it from scratch. Andif I
need to implement it from scratch, what is the best way.
I have requirements to be able to support a session timeout value on auser-by-user
basis instead of a server wide basis.
Also, I would like to be able to get a handle of the request sessions asthey
exist in the server for people that are logged on. Or, would like toretrieve
the session of user given a username.
Also, would like to get a list of users that are logged in.
there is no way to get a list of users logged in with the default providers.
I would like to do as much of this within the container as possiblewithout having
to manage data and fields in the database, however, I know that I am goingto
have to put some things in the database.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks for reading,
Katie

"No Log Found" in OBIEE 11g Administration- Manage Sessions

I am using 11.1.1.5 and have set the Repository logging to Log Level 2..and have also made the User logging to Level 2 as well. I know there is a session variable called LOGLEVEL and I have also tried to edit that. Despite this, I am still unable to see the physical SQL generated by the BI Server under Administration->Manage Sessions. Any idea what I may be missing?

Hi,
It's bug. you do workaround method.
Method 1:
create session veraible and set it log level 0 ro 7 then u can able to manage session view log (physical query)
see my screen short
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/215/viewloginitsessionvaria.jpg/
INIT LOGLEVEL
and just add dummy table mentioned below kind
select 7 from IW_POSITION
assign system session variable:
LOGLEVEL
then save it and try to login weblogic then u can able to see the view log.
Method 2:
for the particular report do it in answres -->advanced tab
can you try putting the below syntax in prefix section of advanced tab.
SET VARIABLE LOGLEVEL=2,DISABLE_CACHE_HIT=1;
It should generate the log with database sql as well.

OBIEE 11g: Admin= Manage Session= View Log throwing error

Hi,
When we are trying to see the logs from obiee 11g admin screen=>manage sessions, it is throwing the following error:

What could be the possible reason for this? Where to check?
Thanks in advance

Thanks in advanceIf you restart the service the problem would resolve but every time its not a good idea to bounce the services the problem is with cache/queries stores in nqquery.log have a script to clear the cache files periodically
upgrade to 11.1.1.6.2 the problem is fixed

OBIEE 11g Session variables

Would anyone know who to setup the USER session variables in the RPD for OBIEE 11g?
The security setup we have is LDAP Authentication & Default authenticators in Weblogic. Is there a way to retrieve this in the RPD or in answers?
Lastly, would proxy (act as) functionality configuration differ from 10g because of the above?
Thanks.

All,
Use VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.USER) whether you are in the front end or .RPD, :USER doesn't work anymore. Also, there is no need to wrap the syntax in quotes, if you do, it won't de-reference the variable.
Thanks,
Josh

Can't create Application Role in Obiee 11g Enterprise Manager

Hi All,
I was working on obiee11g enterprise manager. I created some of the groups in weblogic console. Now I wanted to create application roles in enterprise manager for those groups. I am surprised that, the "*Create*" button is inactive on the application role page of enterprise manager. I only i could see tthe actives ones "*Create Like*", "*Edit*" and "*Delete*".
Please assist shoud I need any additional configuration for the same.urgent!!
Thank you in advance,
BK.

Click on Create Like button
Then click cancel on the Create Like dialog box
Go back to the Create button, it now works
But if you log out and log back in, the Create button is disabled again
so may repeat the above process of accessing the 'Create Like' button first to enable the Create button
< Bug:13983399> CREATE BUTTON IS DISABLED IN FUSION MIDDLEWARE CONTROL IN OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0 ENV
Please mark helpful or correct if answered.
Thanks,

OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.5.0) - Issue with starting Node Manager

Hi,
Have anyone faced an issue with starting Node Manager in OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.5.0)? OS is 64 bit Linux, WebLogic is 10.3.5. I used the software-install method and followed by running config.sh. Everything completed successfully. I updated the catalog and rpd location in the FMW control screen.
To get it activated I bounced services and when I try to start Node Manager it gives below error --

Hi,
There are Two types of Cipher suites --- Certicom Cipher Suite and SunJSSE Equivalent Cipher Suite. And with Weblogic 10.3.5, you are using Sun JSSE Cipher Suite, and by default Node Manager uses the Certicom Cipher Suite.
In the nodemanager.properties, Add CipherSuite=SSL_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5, save and restart Node Manager.

Data and Dashboard Security using ROLES Variable in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I'm currently using OBIEE 11g. I'm wondering how to implement the security for data and dashboard in the 11g.
Below is the sample of how the security matrix requirement when I use the 10g version. In 10g, we usually use GROUP (for the data filter in RPD) and WEBGROUPS (for dashboard objects) variables in my initialization block to read from database. As we have 2 different variables, it is possible to control security separately for data and dashboard.
GROUP | Country
G1 | US
G2 | FR
G3 | UK
WEBGROUPS | Dashboard
WG1 | D1
WG2 | D1
WG3 | D1
WG1 | D2
WG2 | D2
WG1 | D3
WG3 | D3
WG3 | D4
Now, in 11g, the recommendation is to use ROLES variable (for application role). So, how would I apply the required security matrix above in 11g using just ROLES variable? Do I still create G1, G2, G3, WG1, WG2, and WG3 as application roles then only use G1-3 in the RPD to filter the data and only use WG1-3 in the analytics to serve as webgroups?
Any advice on this? Thank you very much.

"...Could you elaborate more?"
I mean that role creation and user->role assignment will be managed outside of to the obiee interface - whether that's via the database, LDAP, fmw etc.
Webgroup creation and assignment is managed within the obiee interface and I think that has a lot of benefits - generally you have people responsible for shared folders and dashboard creation, so having them responsible for webgroups and presentation permissions is preferable for me.
"are you saying that I use the role G1-3 only in the RPD, while using the role WG1-3"
Yes .. I'm assuming you have something like
G1 | US
G2 | FR
G3 | UK
WG1 | Finance
WG2 | Marketing
WG3 | Sales
Which becomes
R1 | US
R2 | FR
R3 | UK
R4 | Finance
R5 | Marketing
R6 | Sales
And John belongs to R1 and R4, Fred belongs to R2 and R4 etc. So you would set your data filters against R1-R3 and use R4-R6 like webgroups in the presentation services.
Regards,
Robert

OBIEE 11g Users Time Out Problem

Hi,
I am using OBIEE 11g version and setup up user through weblogic console, but problem is users are logging out after 5 minutes, so how can we solve that,
Thnaks

OK,
execute your query.
Goto ST04/ detailed analysis menu Oracle session.
Identify your session searching something like SELECT ... FROM /BIC/A* where * is your ODS name in the SQL statement.
Click on this SQL statement and then display execution plan;
if you aren't on Oracle then let me know what options you do have...
put this info in the thread.
regards,
Olivier.

Not able to configure Act As in OBIEE 11g - The application is logging out

Hi All,
We are trying to configure Act As in OBIEE 11g. The list of users gets populated when I click on Act As. However, when I select any user from the list, the applications logs out. The possible reason could be that OBIEE is not able to authenticate the user (We are using table based Authentication). Please give some pointers to fix it.
Also, I am curious to understand the authentication process in case of Act As. The list that gets populated is a list of target users from the table. In our case, the username and display name gets populated. But, how does OBIEE check if that is a valid user or not?
Thanks in Anticipation,
Karan

Does Act As functionality work with BI Publisher? I am able to login and select Act As and pick a user and view all dashboards, however when I click a PDF embedded in a dashboard page from Publisher, it says Unauthorized Access: please contact the administrator. If I am logged in as myself I can view the PDF. If I am logged in as the user I acting as I can view the pdf, but if I login as myself and act as that user and try and view it, that is when the error occurs, so am wondering is Act As is incompatible with BI Pub.

Selection Steps greyed out for a Union Query - OBIEE 11g

Hello,
I did some research and could not find possible solution/explanation for the issue I am facing.
For one of the report which is based on Union of 3 queries in OBIEE 11g, I recently added a calculated item which now I would like to remove. The best way to achieve this was by removing respective step in selection steps.
However I could not see complete list of steps in this Union report and also cannot modify or remove the selection step for calculated item (2 below). Also Selection steps on task bar is by default greyed out
Below is what I see when I select selection steps
1. Start with all members
2. Then Add Average
Any ideas or workaround.
Thank you,
Sai

Hi ,
I normally do this to fix this problem
1>Disable the network , keep the loopback adaptor enabled and then restart the services.
2> You can enable the network after services are restarted.
If you want a more practical solution and dont want to disable network again and again, then you would find the blog below useful.

Hope this help.
Thanks,

Is there a way to deny access to BI Publisher -Report job in OBIEE 11g?

Thank you all for the helpful information in the posts. I am trying to disable or not to display Report job under published reporting in OBIEE 11g. Could any one of you you please help me with the steps?
My issue:
I am pretty new to OBIEE and we are using OBIEE 11g when the user clicks on the new drop down, i am trying to disable or turnoff Report job under published reporting for a user group. I tried to find the relevant components for published reporting to deny access to report job under manage privileges but no luck i couldn't find any and i realized that i should be looking into Manage Bi publisher roles and responsibilities but i cannot remove the roles. Please help me with the steps and the options where i need to go and what i should do to not to display the report job. Your help is greatly appreciated, if i am not clear please let me know i will try to rephrase or explain it better
FYI
We are using LDAP for user creation and we have created a new group and created a test user belongs to that group and that user should not see the Report job. When i am seeing the users roles and responsibilities it is also showing me other two roles authenticated user role and BI consumer role for the test user, when i asked the admin guy dealing with LDAP he said he only associated the user with that only new group. Please advice
Thanks,
Ravi

In EM, go to Weblogic Domain, right click on bifoundation_domain and on the Security menu choose Application Policies.
Set Application Stripe to obi and click the blue arrow search button.
Highlight BIConsumer and click Edit.
Under Permissions locate Resource Name oracle.bi.publisher.scheduleReport. Highlight this and click Delete...
Click OK (top right corner).
Now log your user out of OBIEE and back in again, and the option should have disappeared from their New menu.
