OBIEE Answers functionality questions

Hi,
I pretty new to OBIEE Answers orginally working with Business Objects XI Webi, I have read through the user guides for Answers but some functionality I would like thats in BO XI but doesnt seem to be avaliable in Answers, Im not sure if its not documented because its more advanced functionality or whether Answers just can't do it ? Is the following functionality avaliable in Answers,
1. I want to build a report based on 2 queries and then link the data in these queries by a common dimension and display this data in 1 report, for example I have query 1 with fields A,B,C and query 2 with fields A, D, E, I want to link on field A as its common and in the 1 report display the fields A,B,C,D,E
is this possible ? This is not the same as union / intersect, and is not the same as dashboard showing two query results, I want 1 table showing the results of two queries.
2. Once you have you data set returned is there anyway to filter on the data displayed in the report without the SQL actually having the filter in ? For example I have 1 query returning 100 rows of data and in that 50 rows are of type = A and 50 are of type = B. I dont want to have two seperate queries one to get all type A and one to get all type B, but I would prefer to return all rows in the query then filter the results in the report itself so I can have 1 report table showing type = A and 1 report table showing type = B, pretty much like how you can add a filter in Excel or again how you would add a report level filter in BO XI ?

  • Question on OBIEE report functioning ?

    Hi all,
    In the OBIEE answers on one of the report i tried to remove the row using "remove" option then it removes the row from the report but it won't change the total. Here i analysed the problem then i came to know it is happening because  in criteria if i am performing Rsum or sum operation on the concerned fact column then it will not change the Total even if we remove the rows from the report. So i just i want to confirm whether my analysis is correct and is it the behaviour of OBIEE. If you have the solution to this problem then please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Anand

    Please give me the answer for this problem.

  • Dense Rank in OBIEE answers

    Hi All,
    Can any on let me know how to create a column in OBIEE answers  which gives the row number starting with 1 for each row  in the group. similarly for next group the row number should start with 1 and so on.
    Thanks in advance for your quick response!
    Regards

    This feature had appear in the 9i version, so there is no way to have it running with a 6i version. If you have a 9i database, you could write a database stored function/procedure that would use this analytic function, and return the lines to Forms.

  • SD & FI BI functional Questions

    Hi Experts,
    I need to ask some questions to customer on SD & FI functional related questions for BI Analytical reports..
    Already cutomer implemented Data ware house Informatica with congnos reporting tool.
    right now they want to implement BI.
    please any one can share on what type functional questions could ask the customer.
    Advance Thanks,
    Bala.

    Hi,
    A few more pointers.
    Start with Reports. What the client is using. What he is expecting.
    If he got existing reports map the fields with Business Content BW Fields. Go to Business content and make a list of queries which are delivered from SAP. Explain them the KPI's. This should be good to start with. Also check the Tcodes they use.
    Look for DataSources that get data from theses Tcode's.
    Project Preparation (Initial stuff -- Do a conceptual review after this phase requirements gathering)
    Collect requirement thru interviews with Business teams /Core users / Information Leaders.
    Study & analyze KPI's (key figures) of Business process.
    Identify the measurement criteria's (Characteristics).
    Understand the Drill down requirements if any.
    Understand the Business process data flow if any.
    Identify the needs for data staging layers in BW – (i. e need for ODS if any)
    Understand the system landscape.
    Prepare Final Requirements Documents in the form of Functional Specifications containing:
    Report Owners, Data flow, KPI's, measurement criteria's, Report format along with drilldown requirements.
    Hope this helps.

  • Sumifs function question

    Hi, Everyone, I have a function question of Sumifs, here a sample as follows,
    =SUMIFS(Budget :: E4:E14,Budget :: C4:C14,"=5003677000",Budget :: B4:B14,OR("=Transit","=Drawing cash")), according to the logic, I think like this, but it's wrong. So how to insert the OR function to the Sumifs function? May someone find the mistake in the function?
    Thank you.
    Alex

    I think you would actually do a sum of simifs, i.e. Sumif(....."Transit") + Sumif(....."Drawing Cash")
    Basically if you have two sumifs that differ in only one condition that would be treated like an OR in SQL, then make one Sumif for each unique set of  conditions and add them up

  • OIC: Functional Question(11.5.10)

    Hi All,
    I would like to know answer for the following functional question in Oracle 11.5.10 Incentive Compensation Application(OIC). I would greatly appreciate if you anyone can reply for this.
    1. Question on Foreign currency exchange rates:
    We know that OIC cannot handle foreign currency exchange rates. Since all of our offer letters to the Sales guys are in local currency what we end up doing is picking an exchange rate on July 1st every year and converting them to US $. What I’m wondering is why couldn’t we just set them up in OIC in their local currency, without converting them?
    Is that possible? OIC can handle this?
    2. In OIC, Can I enter a DUMMY Acoount Executive (since we are not going to credit any single person in the Primary Account Executive role) that bookings could be credited to in order to ensure they roll up to the appropriate manager?
    a) Is that possible?
    b) Does this DUMMY Acoount Executive should be part of the HR Employee setups as well?, In OIC should we need to load the transaction for DUMMY Account
    Executive so that credit will get rolled up to approriate managers based on the Group hiearchy setups?
    Thanks,
    Johnson

    Yes

    You do not need to set up the dummy resource as employee. All you need is to create as OTHER type of resource and add that resource to group.
    Hope this helps.

  • E-4200 My Review so far - I will answer any questions you have

    I have a Dlink DIR-855, Netgear WNDR 3700, and just graduated to the Linksys E-4200.
    Here are my observations so far. I will make comparisons to my latest installed router the 3700.
    GOOD
    The readyshare USB function works GREAT. Streaming on 5 GHZ movies at 13 mps, smooth as silk. MUCH BTTER then 3700
    Viewing hi res pics at 5.0 ghz is almost instant, way fater then the WNDR3700
    Download speeds touch quicker than the 3700
    Web Browsing same as 3700
    Speedtest.net test results on PC and Iphone are 10-20% faster than the 3700. PC on 5 ghz - Iphone on 2.4 ghz N
    Signal strength is excellent - touch better then the 3700 especially on the 5.0 ghz band
    BAD
    No IPV6 support yet
    2.4 ghz streaming is not as good as the 5.0 ghz (have to use mixed mode on the 2.4 channel I am sure that is not helping)
    also I am not on N but G trying to stream a hi res movie. 3700 was also bad.
    Logs - not registering security activity (maybe because there are no threats?) I used to get DOS attached alot that would show in the WNDR3700 logs, either its not registering them or the router firewall somehow is keeping them from getting to the poing of being registered in the log?
        Product is smaller then I expected. Very nice design. After 24 hrs the router is warm to the touch for those of you wondering about heat.
       I will try port forwarding next and answer any questions anyone has. Anyone interested in a WNDR3700 or DOR-855 for sale? This is my goto router. I know firmware updates will make it even better. Does anyone know CPU speed?
    Charlie C

    OK another test:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ5U8suTUw0
    Select 1080P and click play.
    The E4300 is smooth as silk in fact 1/4 of the video plays and the whole video is completly downloaded. Blazing fast.
    On 5.0 GHZ  1 floor down on other end of 2800 sq foot home.

  • Sample BW certification questions..can you answer these questions ? please.

    Hi Experts,
    im gonna take SAP BI (C_TBW45_70) certication exam at the end of this month..i found some questions but without answers..
    can anyone answer these questions ?
    1.What are the main motivations for using BI Statistics and the BI Administrator Cockpit
    a)Central point of entry for SAP Netweaver BI Monitoring
    b)Remodeling of IC
    c)improved performance tuning using complete and detailed runtime information on processing in SAP Netweaver BI
    d)İmproved monitoring on Mart Data consistincy using new Technical Content
    2.Within DataSource maintenance in an SAP source system...
    a)...infoobjects can be assigned to the extract structure fields.
    b)...fields can be hidden.During Datasource replication ,these fields are not transferred into SAP Netweaver BI
    c)...the initialization selection can be deleted
    d)...fields can be selected for selection.these fields can be used to request selected data from the SAP source system in an infopacket
    e)...fields can be hidden..In other words , these fiedls are remowed from the extract structure and can only be used for calculation within the user exit during data transfer
    3.Which of the following statements are true regarding the BI Accelerator
    a)BI Accelerator indexes are loaded into the memory of the BI Accelerator
    b)A BI Accelerator index contains all the data of an infocube in a compressed but not aggregated format
    c)One BI Accelerator index is created per aggregate of an infocube
    d)The BI Accelerator is used to improve the read performance of queries on IC and DSO
    e)The BI Accelerator is built using TREX technology but is a seperate installation that cannot be used for standart knowledge management functionality
    4.The APD(Analysis Proses Designer) in sap netweaver provides a mechanism for reading data from a source and then transferring the analytical resource back out to a data target.in this scenerio which of the following are possible data targets of the APD ?
    a)DataSource Object for direct update
    b)Standart DataSource Object
    c)Metadata repository
    d)infoObject master data tables
    e)VirtualProviders

    c) the BI Administration Cockpit triggers periodci BI Statistics calculation , the results of which are displayed in te Data Warehousing Workbench
    6.in which of the following business scenerios should using Real time Data Acquisition be considered ?
    a) your customer need timely data in their operatinal reporst in SAP Netweaver BI.Direct access is not a viable option because of high resource consumption and high data volumes in the SAP Source system.
    b)the data availability in your customer's source system cannot be foreseen.upon availability the source system shall push the data to a web service DataSource (using SAP Netweaver XI or by directly calling the web service).
    c)your customer uses a single dialog process for transferring data from their SAP source system to SAP Netweaver BI.Because of long processing time during data transfer to SAP Netweaver BI , they want to increase the upload frequency since smaller amount of...
    d)your customer needs current flat file data in their operational reports.the file contain approx. 500 records.at regular 5 minute time interval , the flat file shall be extracted to a DataStore Object for delta calculation for further data targets.
    thanks in advance.

    As far I know, what is possible (P), impossible (I) and can be reached from database (DB):
    DB - you would have to create query of groups, where such member was (there are Group History Report
    and Group Membership Change Report out of the box, so suitable data is in DB)
    P - you can specify the Member Resource ID in
    Group Membership Change Report
    P - OOB - Group Membership Change Report
    P/DB - rather searched by query in DB than realizable through OOB Report
    & 6. - OOB it would be hard I think - as you would have to join informations about owners, members of some Sets and MPRs - maybe it could be realizable through DB query, but I am not sure about that.

  • Incremental updates on collections/full schedule - Functional question

    Hi everyone,
    At a customer of mine we have the following set-up:
    Almost all applications are deployed User Based
    Collections are used for targetting the applications
    Incremental updates are enabled on practically all collections which deploy applications
    For the moment this setup is active for 498 collections (out of 714  collections).
    Since it's not advised and Microsoft recommends to only have incremental updates active for 200 collections, I would like to change this setup by means of POSH. I have just finished writing it, but I still have a functional question:
    Which schedule time would be best to activate for the collections? Keep the standard value to update collection every 7 days?
    When would you activate "incremental updates"? Device collections with required software for faster deployment time?
    I only foresee the following "downside":
    We have a lot of applications who are available to "all domain users". When the AD-account is created, it will sync with SCCM and will receive their deployements. But by changing the update schedule to, let's say, 7 days.. They wouldn't be able
    to see and install these applications if the collections haven't been updated yet?
    Thanks for the insight with your experience!
    Kr,
    Sven

    Wow Jörgen, thanks for this information! This was something I haven't read about. Will keep this in mind.
    In your blog, you mention that you use this tool to keep track of performance issues. When do you feel that there are too many collections which have incremental updates enabled (by using the tool)?
    The last weeks/months, we have a lot of issues during OSD. We have collections to which the TS is deployed.
    In orchestrator we have a runbook to add workstations to SCCM + add workstation to collection + update membership of collection. But the update takes from 5 minutes to 40 minutes.. So this is the main issue that we have..
    @Andrew: Thanks for your contribution! I believe you are speaking of "Global Conditions"? I haven't used it either, but I thought that this had some downsides.. For instance, we target most of the applications "Used Based" (since MS is
    moving to user centric deployment). So if I target the application to the "all users" collection and create a "global condition" to only install when user is a member of a specific AD-group (for instance: Skype), then the user still sees
    "skype" in the application catalog and will have an error upon installing it when he is not a member of the skype AD-group.
    Maybe this is completely wrong what I'm saying.. Just did some brainstorming with collegues but haven't found the time to play with it in a test environment. @Jörgen: Please enlighten us if I'm wrong.

  • When I go to buy something it makes me answer security questions I don't remember and when I try to reset them it doesn't email me a link?

    I got a $25 itunes card and loaded it onto my account no problem, then I go to buy some music and it makes me answer security questions I don't remember so I requested for the link to reset them (I've done it numerous times many days in a row) and the link never sends. I've also done many things on the apple website and tried using the itunes store on my laptop and nothing is working. Help?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
