11g bi publisher data model generic columns names for obiee data source?

I'm just trying to figure out if this is a bug, expected behavior or installation problem. When I select an Oracle BI Analysis to add to the data model diagram the column names are not copied over. Instead they are all renamed as Column0-ColumnNN.
Thanks

Can I pass parameters from a dashboard via a dashboard prompt and presentation variable to publisher report based on a data model with select statements in OBIEE 11g ?

I have a publisher 11g (v 11.1.1.7) report with a single parameter. The report is based on a data model not a subject area. I created a dashboard put a dashboard prompt and link to the report in separate section on the same page. The dashboard prompt sets a presentation variable named the same as the parameter in the report.
The problem was when I created the dashboard prompt, it forced me to select a subject area which I did (though did not want to) and then I created both a column and variable prompts. But clicking on the
report link completely ignored the value that I thought would be passed in the presentation variable to the report.
Side note : My report uses a pdf template for its layout where I have mapped the columns names from my data model to the form fields on the pdf form. I noticed that if I create a publisher report based on a subject area, then I do not have the choice to choose a PDF as a template type for my layout. (I only see BI Publisher Template as a choice).
I see some documentation online that suggest it could be done in 10g.
Thanks
M. Jamal

Ok,
I just tried that and it still doesn't pass anything to the prompt.
I changed the prompt to an edit field and I made the following weblink but when i click the link from an account it doesn't put anything in the prompt and all data for all accounts is shown.
This is the URL maybe I messed something up...

How to rename C00n generic column names in a Dynamic SQL report

I have a an interface whereby the user can select 1 to 60 (upper limit) columns out of 90 possible columns (using a shuttle) from one table before running a report.
To construct the SQL that will eventually execute, I'm using a "PLSQL function body returning SQL query" with dynamic SQL. The only problem is that I have to use "Generic Column Names" option to be able to compile the code and end up with c001 to c060 as the column names.
How can I use the names of the selected columns as the report headings rather than c001, C002... etc?
I do not know beforehand which columns, or how many columns or the order of the selected columns.
I know Denes K has a demo called Pick Columns but I can't access his code. I have a hunch though that he may be just using conditions to hide/show the apropriate columns.
thanks in advance
PaulP

Hi Paul
I would change the Heading Type in the Report Details screen to PLSQL and use the shuttle item to return the column values. e.g.
RETURN :p1_shuttle;
I'm assuming the shuttle already has a colon separated list of the column headings in the correct order?
I hope that helps

Calculation Field to be mapped to different data object's column name in Oracle BAM 12c

Hi,
I am having a challenge to enable drill down to 2nd level report by passing calculation field as parameter.
As an alternative, I am thinking to point calculation field to another data object’s column name and generate report so that I would be able to pass that as parameter to drilling report view.
Is there any way to map calculation field to different Data object’s column name? Thanks in advance.

1. Yes, you can.
SQL> create table ÜÝÞ( ßàá number(10));
Table created.
SQL> insert into ÜÝÞ values (10);
1 row created.1.1 and 1.2 and 2. You can choose UTF as your default character set. It allows the user of non-English characters in VARCHAR columns in your whole database. It is not per tablespace.

How to Select data using same column name from 3 remote database

Hi,
Can anyone help me on how to get data with same column names from 3 remote database and a single alias.
Ex.
SELECT *
a.name, b.status, SUM(b.qty) qantity, MAX(b.date) date_as_of
FROM
*((table1@remotedatabase1, table1@remotedatabase2, table1@remotedatabase3)a,*
*(table1@remotedatabase1, table1@remotedatabase2, table1@remotedatabase3)b)*
WHERE b.dept = 'finance'
AND a.position = 'admin'
AND a.latest = 'Y' AND (b.status <> 'TRM') AND b.qty > 0;
GROUP BY a.name, b.status ;
NOTE: the bold statements is just an example of what I want to do but I always gets an error beacause of ambiguous columns.
Thanks in advnce. :)

Each object must be uniquely identified. So you cannot do this:
select * from (table1@remotedatabase1, table1@remotedatabase2, table1@remotedatabase3) a3 objects cannot share the same alias. Example:
SQL> select * from (dual, dual) d;
select * from (dual, dual) d
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesisYou need to combine the objects - using a join or union or similar. So it will need to be done as follows:
SQL> select * from (select * from dual d1, dual d2) d;
select * from (select * from dual d1, dual d2) d
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00918: column ambiguously definedHowever, we need to have unique column names in a SQL projection - so the join of the tables need to project a unique set of columns. Thus:
SQL> select * from (select d1.dummy as dummy1, d2.dummy as dummy2 from dual d1, dual d2) d;
DUM DUM
X X
SQL> I suggest that you look closely at what scope is and how it applies in the SQL language - and ignore whether the objects referenced are local or remote as it has no impact to fundamentals of scope resolution.

APEX 4.0 "Use Generic Column Names" not working

Hi,
I have a report which is a SQL query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query) in APEX 4.0. For this region i have selected the option "Use Generic Column Names (parse query at run time only)".
For some reason when I run the page the browser just shows the error "The requested URL /apex/f was not found on this server". This happens only for the region type "SQL query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)" . If I choose the report region as SQL query and select the option "Use Generic Column Names (parse query at run time only)" That works fine. This happens only in APEX 4. Is it an apex 4 bug or am I missing something?
Thanks
Sashika.

Hi,
Just managed to get it running. The Apex 4.0 SQL query (PL/SQL function returning SQL) works just fine. I had a small error in the query itself. In the PL/SQL function I had a referenced page item whose value in the initial run is set to null which is making the fuzz. Just adding an NVL resolved the problem.

Multi Row Selector using Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)

Hi,
I created a tabular report which had a multi row select in it - got the deleting working fine.
Am now creating a second tabular report, but because of the SQL:
select
"ID",
"ID" ID_DISPLAY,
"RESNUMBER",
"RESDESCRIPTION",
decode(RESTYPE,'R','Right Party','W','Wrong Party'),
decode(DMCFLAG,'Y','Yes','N','No'),
decode(SALEFLAG,'Y','Yes','N','No')
from "CALL_RESULTS"
I have to select the option Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only) otherwise I cannot save the form.
My problem is I am now unable to add a multi row selector to the tabular form. If I do and run the form I get the following error - failed to parse SQL query: ORA-00904: "COL11": invalid identifier. Also when I go back and edit the form the multi row selector has been removed.
Can anyone tell me why I can't add a row selector like I previously could?
Regards
Simon

Arie,
I added aliases and to the decode columns, and I can now add a row selector to the form without any problems.
Thank you very much for your help.

Simon

Hi Giss68,
Could you check the Advanced tab of the Flat File Connection Manager to see whether the InputColumnWidth and the OutputColumnWidth properties of the Column2 has the same value? Please refer to the following link about the same topic:

How to know if the data model qry is not returning any data

Hi
If my report doesn't have data (meaning if the data model qry doesn't retreive any data), I wan't to show this text: "There is no data returned."
My question is how would I know that the qry is not returning any data. I know I can create a text field, and write a trigger on it, to set it True or False depending on the fact that data is being returned or not.
Thanks
Shalu

Hi,
In Data Model create a summary column for function=count on one of your columns.
Then for BeforeReport trigger you can write
function BeforeReport return boolean is
begin
if :CS_RPT_NODATA > 0 then
return (TRUE);
end if;
SRW.MESSAGE(300,'There is no data');
return (FALSE);
end;

Finding source database table/column name for a column in a view

Hi i need to be able to identify the original database table/column name for a column in a view.
e.g. say i have a view like this
create v1 as select a.name fname, b.name bname, c.name cname,......
from u1.names a, u2.names b. u3.names c
where .....
Now I want to find out that the database table/column name for the fname, bname and cname columns in the view v1, which in this instance is u1.name.name, u2.names.name, u3.names.name.
But i need to be able to do it for any view. Short of parsing the SQL is there an easy way of doing this?
Now obviusly I can't do this for virtual columns but I will know my column is not virtual as it has an index on it.

But i need to be able to do it for any view. Short of
parsing the SQL is there an easy way of doing this?No, parsing the SQL is the only way. Good luck it is not something I would want to attempt.

How to install SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.1.1 for Mac OS X?

How do I install SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.1.1 for Mac OS X? I downloaded the file "datamodeler-3.1.1-703-macosx.gz" from OTN, but there is only a single file inside this archive - "datamodeler-3.1.1-703-macosx". What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance...

Extract that file and then run it.
Once you installed the tool to your Applications folder (if you choose to move it to Applications), you'll need to install Java (maybe).
What version of OS X are you on?
In a command window/terminal, type 'java -version'
If you get something back like 'java version "1.6..." then you're all good.
If you're on Mountain Lion, then type 'java' instead. That should download java for you.
Once you've got java available, then launch SQL Developer Data Modeler.
The installation notes are here if you want the official list of instructions

Data model 0G: No authorization for entity type Account (Company Code) - activity Display

Hello Expert,
I have a problem with authorization in MDG-F.
I want to create Account with Collective processing. After, entered Entity type, Edition and Chart of account, Blocking message "Data model 0G: No authorization for entity type Account (Company Code) - activity Display" is displayed.
But, i checked in PFCG transaction, for this user profil, activity are : create or generate, Change and display. So, for me , it is correct.
Please, check screen shot below :
Blocking message :
and in PFCG transaction
Could you help me to solve this point?
Kind regards,
Heri RAOELISON

Hi Heri,
the system behavior is correct. The account in company code consists of three entity types:
1) COA - Chart of Accounts (Type 3)
2) ACCOUNT - Account (A-Segment, related to ECC table SKA1, Type 1)
3) ACCCCDET - Account in Company Code (B-Segment, releated to ECC table SKB1, Type 1).
3) includes 1) and 2) whereas 2) includes 1). If you grant authorization only for 3) but not for 1) and 2), you cannot do anything.
Best regards
Michael
