After changing OBIEE 10G repository, BI Publisher Admin user lost privileges

Hi,
When I changed the OBIEE repository to a new one in NQSConfig.ini, BI Publisher Administrator User is stripped off access to shared Folder reports and Admin tab. Also the privilege to create a new report is removed.
Can some one suggest a solution for my issue.
Thanks in Advance..

You need to setup SA System in order for BI EE security to work with BI Publisher. Setting this up will fix the error that you are listing below. Couple of options for you.
1. Log an SR on supportweb to get sample RPD and table structure for the SA System
2. check the 7.8.x documentation. It had a better description of the SA System than the 10.1.3.2 documentation does.
3. I can email you an RPD and table structure that I have used.
The only thing BIP needs in SA system is user name, group name and user to group assignment. This is needed for two screens in BIP (Roles and Permissions and JDBC connections). It's a bit annoying to have to set this up, but two good things to note. If you setup SA System, then you have additional options for delivery of iBots (that's what SA System is really designed for). The other is that BIP's dependence on SA System is going away in a future release. So this will get easier soon.

Images in dashboard after deploying obiee 10g in weblogic server

Hi,
We have deployed OBIEE 10g in weblogic server at the location E:\BIDEP
Initially for OC4j server we placed the images in two places:
+1. E:\OracleBI\web\app\res\s_oracle10\images+
+2. E:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res\s_oracle10\images+
and called the image in dashoard by Link or Image fmap:images/india.jpg We were able to disply images indashoard.
After deploying, we also placed the images in
+3. E:\BIDEP\res\s_oracle10\images+ (E:\BIDEP\ is the folder where we deployed obiee.)
Now we are unble to view the images in dashoard.
Please let us kow how to do this.
Thanks.

Hi MK,
Thanks. It worked.
One clarification. for OC4j Server I placed images in below:
1. E:\OracleBI\web\app\res\s_oracle10\images
2. E:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res\s_oracle10\images
For WLServer is it enough to place the images in below places:
1.E:\BIDEP\res\s_oracle10\images
2.E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain\servers\BI2\stage\BIDEP\BIDEP\res
or I also need to place the images in below place also.
1. E:\OracleBI\web\app\res\s_oracle10\images
In simple, at two places
1.E:\BIDEP\res\s_oracle10\images
2.E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain\servers\BI2\stage\BIDEP\BIDEP\res
or at 3 places
1.E:\BIDEP\res\s_oracle10\images
2.E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain\servers\BI2\stage\BIDEP\BIDEP\res
3.E:\OracleBI\web\app\res\s_oracle10\images
Thanks.

OBIEE 10g repository - Business model - logical table to physical table, column mapping is empty

Hi, I am really new to OBIEE 10g.
I already set up a SQL Server 2005 database in Physical and import a view vw_Dim_retail_branch.
The view has 3 columns: branch_id, branch_code, branch_desc.
Now I want to set up the Business model to map this physical table (view).
I created a new Business model
Added new logical table Dim_retail_branch
In the sources, added the vw_Dim_retail_branch as source table.
But in the Logical table source window, column mapping tab, it's blank. I thought it should be able to identify all the columns from vw_Dim_retail_branch, but not. The show mapped columns is ticked.
What should I do here? Manually type each column?

HI,
Just you can drag and drop the columns from physical layer to BMM layer.
Select the 3 columns and drag and drop it to the created logical column in BMM layer.

OBIEE 10G - Repository Documentation

Hi all,
When I am generating RPD Documentation for my OBIEE 10G RPD, there are few presentation columns for which there are no physical columns.
These measures are not calculated columns, and when I check the relevant physical columns it directs to correct physical tables and columns.
Since my RPD is very large i tried removing other subject areas as well but still not help..
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

There might be few columns in BMM with expression as '' or any these may not have direct physical sources. Other than these I dont think any case for that. can you double check by opening document file in Excel?
PS: Update your display name with name

Yes, if you do a fresh install of the operating system, it's like a brand new machine.
No, if you restore from a backup like a bootable clone or TimeMachine drive.

OBIEE 10G - Repository Business Model adding Fact Table

Hi there,
I've tried to search in the forum for problems similar to this one but didn't find any thread that answered my doubts.
I'll try to explain this well (without images it's complicated). Let's assume we have a schema with the following tables:
Dim_1, Dim_2 , Dim_3, Dim_4, Dim_5, Fact_1, Fact_2
Fact_1 is connected to Dim_1, Dim_2 and Dim_3
Fact_2 is connected to Dim_2, Dim_3, Dim_4 and Dim_5
And on the business model of the repository we already have a model with the following tables:
Dim_1, Dim_2, Dim_3 and Fact_1. This was the state of the repository the last time we saved it.
Now i want to add to the business model the table Fact_2 and the Dims that connect with Fact_2. What should i do here?
If i drag from the physical layer only the tables (Dim_4, Dim_5 and Fact_2 since Dim_1 and Dim_2 already exist in the business model) when i check on the business model diagram the Fact_2 table and direct joins i will only see joins to Dim_4 and Dim_5 and not the joins to the two other dimesion tables (Dim_1 and Dim_2). I don't know if OBIEE will still act like these joins are made or if i will have problems when i work on presentation services.
If i drag from the physical layer the tables (Dim_2, Dim_3, Dim_4, Dim_5 and Fact_2) i will see all joins but i will have on the business model repeated tables, something like this:
Dim_1, Dim_2, Dim_2#1, Dim_3, Dim_3#1, Dim_4, Dim_5, Fact_1 and Fact_2
So what's the solution here? Do i have to redo everything i want to add something and this situation occurs? Doesn't sound smart and there has to be a better solution. I know i can redo the direct joins manually but is that the best solution i can look for in this situation?
I hope i was clear :)
Thanks

Hi,
Follow these steps,
1.Drag Dim_4, Dim_5 and Fact_2 to BMM
2.Select (Press Ctrl to select multiple objects)in BMM: Dim 1 to 5, Fact_1 and Fact_2
3.Right click ->Business Model diagram->Selected objects only
4.Give the necessary joins,
Dim 4,&5 joins to Fact1(as 1,2,3 are already joined)
Dim 2,3,4,5 joins to Fact2
5.Check consistency.

Percentile_Disc Function in OBIEE 10g - Help needed at the earliest

Hi All,
I have a requirement of using PERCENTILE_DISC function in OBIEE 10g repository. I tried NTile function, to fetch the percentile. But that is not what am intending to see.
I have a requirement something similar to this, to be implemented in repository. Could anyone throw some light in this regard?
PERCENTILE_DISC(.25) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY F.Days asc) OVER (PARTITION BY A.NAME, B.PLACE)
Here F = Fact
A = 1st Dimension
B = 2nd Dimension
Days = Is calculated as TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY, A.DATE, B.DATE). Established Inner Join, to fetch this calculation in to the FACT
Appreciate your responses at the earliest. Thanks once again.
Regards,
Sarat Nallapati

Hi,
I don't have any idea on percentile_disc.
But,in OBIEE we have a function PERCENTILE()
It will give the percentage of each value in the total sum of all the values.
once check it.

LDAP authentication too slow in OBIEE 10g

Hello ,
For one of our clients we have configured LDAP (Microsoft Active Directory) for authentication purpose in OBIEE 10g repository. The Authentication process takes around 10-15 mins to Login .
Are there any parameters that can help to speed up the process?. Any log which obiee generates through which we can track the root cause?
Any help appreciated!

Check if Initialization Blocks and are failing, that might be reason for slow log in.
If so give proper connection details or else disable unwanted Initialization Blocks.

Removing admin user from planning application

Hi,
i have a small question that possibly u can answer easily.
in workflow process when users click "change status", at promote and approve "admin" user comes up with in combo-box.
we are sharing shared services with another project team so i dont wanna show "admin" to my users in that list cos i have "plnadmin" as application owner.
by the way "admin" was deprovisioned from planning applications on HSS such that he cannot log-in to planning application. (user doesnot exists for this application message.)
but he still exists in workflow process combo-boxes and "Administration->Application Settings->Assign application Owner" combo-box.
how can i remove him ?
thx,
Version: 11.1.1.2

Hi,
In theory it should remove the admin user if they have been deprovisioned and the application owner assigned to another user. I did a quick check on 11.1.1.3 and it removed the admin user from the workflow and tables.
Maybe it has not removed the user because a workflow was already in progress even though it worked for me.
There are probably a number of ways to try and removing the user e.g. try restart planning service and log into the application to see if it syncs up with shared services (it should do if the property SYNC_USER_ON_LOGON is set to true, which is default for planning)
Try stopping the workflow process and run a refresh, or go to access permissions for a member and click migrate identities to see if it clears the table.
Final stage would be to manually remove from the repository tables.
(sorry if I have not covered all areas, I sure somebody will give you different ideas or repeat what I say)
Cheers

Problems with multiple admin users

I used migration assistant to move my user and all software to a new MBA. It was an admin user so I now have 2 admin users on the machine. I don't use the admin that came with the MBA but my 'old' user. This hasn't been a problem until now. I bought a Connected Data Transporter and installed the Connected Data desktop software in my old user. It seemed to work but then I discovered that it should have set up icons in Finder. There was one there that pointed to an alias, which when clicked on I got this message "The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “Connected Data” can’t be found."
After a while I logged into other admin user and installed the software again. It ran okay and all the icons were in the Finder and they worked.
My question is why does this work in one admin user and not another ?

Sorry for sending this to the Apple Discussion List, but as I said below the Connected Data Forum is as bad as if not worse than the AWFUL product Transporter...
Shame, Shame on all involved with this overhyped product
I have been using computers and technology since 1983 and I have never experienced a worse product and support EVER! Yes, I want my $$ back, but I even more want others NOT to experience what I have, with this AWFUL Transporter and even worse customer support.
I purchased the product in July and after a few days discovered how bad this product is. Spent hours on FAQ's, more hours on the phone with your tech support and now I am told to send a "proof of purchase". This is something that is no where to be found on the transporter or the box it was sent in.
I know that you all will do NOTHING to help me, but I do hope that the staff that sees this (if any do), will have some conscience and move this issue to someone who can prevent this from happening to future customers.
Shame, Shame on you!!!

OBIEE 10g: BI Publisher page not showing properly

Hello all,
I have installed OBIEE 10g on a VM with operating system: XP, service pack 3.
Analytics and Admin tool (I was able to create a new repository) are showing properly but when i try to login to the BI Publisher I just see two folder available "Shared folders"
and "My Folders" and all the other functionalities are missing. Also in the Preferences tab I just see "General Preferences"
and nothing else. I have logged in as an Administrator user but i think the problem is that this user doesn't actually have admin rights when it comes to BI Publisher module.
I tried to give some more permissions through Analytics>Settings>Manage Privilleges but there was no progress.
Can you please give me some guidance on that issue?
Thanks in advance,
Dina
