Ago in Paint demo

I'm trying to figure out how to data is computed for Ago (eg Year Ago Dollars, Month Ago Dollars,etc) in the Paint demo.
I don't see the Ago function used at all. I want to do something similar without the Ago function. Can someone adivse?

AGO and TODate functions only work on relational databases currently. So, you cannot have that in Paint Demo. Check my blog entries here on how to set up AGO and TODate.

Paint Demo BIP Report fails

I'm running Oracle BI Enterprise Edition 10gR3 with BIP Integrated (version 10.1.3.2.1) When I invoke the Paint Demo Report under the Business Intelligence Folder, I get the following error:
java.io.IOException: prepare query failed[nQSError: 27004] Unresolved table: "Paint Exec".
Any Advice. Thank you in advance.

This issue was resolved. I had the SH Repository and the SH Webcat loaded. I replace with the PAINT repository and webcat and the error was resolved.

PSE 10 - Paint bucket tool.

I'm a long time user of PSE 10. A couple of months ago, the paint bucket tool stopprd painting. It no longer fills in selected spaces.
I uninstalled then reinstalled PSE 10. Paint bucket tool still not working.
Any ideas how to fix this problem?
thanx

Sorry, but your last reply was blank. Did it work? If not, quit the editor, then restart it while holding ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift for a mac). Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

In OBIEE charts, how do you make drill downs work on custom formulas?

I posted this over on Linked In and didn't get an anser, so I'm hoping someone here has an answer.
I'm writing a summary query / chart for a dashboard in OBIEE 10.1 with a drill down (technically it's a "navigation") for more information. This chart breaks down the data by fiscal quarter and by geography (both are columns in the subject area) and I can get this drill down to work just fine. But I also have this chart broken down by some custom calculated fields (CASE WHEN statements) that classify revenue into Forecast / At Risk / Upside etc. (which are not columns or values of columns within the subject area).
When I add a drill down or navigate function onto those calculated columns, I'm getting a full data set ... not a filtered data set for that particular calculated field. (Yes, I have all of the IS PROMPTED filters set up correctly, and yes the formulas in the source and destination queries are identical).
Does anyone have any ideas on how to make the drill down or navigation work on custom formulas?
Thanks
Ted

Integration of Oracle BI Publisher with Oracle Business Intelligence Enterp

Hi,
I have started the tutorial " Integration of Oracle BI Publisher with Oracle Business Intelligence Enterp" today but got stuck at the very first step.
The tutorial shows that I can see "SH" and "CountryManagers" in the shared folder but I only see the Paint Demo rpd.
I previously completed the "Creating a Repository Using the Oracle Business Intelligence Administration Tool " tutorial.
Do I need to learn anything prior to this tutorial .
I already have the default rpd as SH in NQSConfig.ini
Please suggest.
Thanks

Nico,
That didnt help.
I already have the
Star = SH.rpd, default; set
I have tried restarting OC4J and Oracle BI Server.
Is there someplace where we need to put the rpd so that it appears in the shared folders.
Even if the Paint Demo rpd is seen, when I try to view the reports I get the following errors:
View Display Error
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).

Hope this helps.
Any help is appreciated.

Get an off-screen thumbnail from a webpage

Hello everyone! This is my first post on this forums.
I'm developing an application to get a thumbnail from a webpage, and save that thumbnail to a file. It has to be a "non-visual", off-screen appllication, because it will run on a machine with no screen. It has to render all, or almost all webpages.
The thumbnails created by this app will be used on another app which lists links from an user, like it's shown in http://del.icio.us ; what I want is to generate these thumbnails.
I've previously searched for a solution in this post: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=20&threadID=709683 , it is not exactly what I want. I need a real image to be generated, not only a page preview.
I've tried to use several java-based projects founded on Internet, but I didn't success because sometimes they render ok the page (using a window), but don't paint ok to file; sometimes they paint ok to file, but doesn't render ok the page (using a window) due to poor support of current HTML and CSS standards, as they are based on JEditorPane or the project is abandoned..
The best approach I have made is with Flying Saucer (https://xhtmlrenderer.dev.java.net/), it does exactly what I need, it has even a method to do this, but it is very rigid about standards and doesn't render "real world html". Related to this I've tried to get code from page, clean it with tagsoup and then pass the xhtml code parsed to Flying Saucer's renderer, but it still has problems rendering the majority of webpages.
Any ideas? Anything that can put me in the right direction is welcome.
Thanks!

Hello 4fingers, and thank you for your answer and suggestions.
About the first one, it's a way, I'll annotate it but the goal it's to don't depend on others, this is going to execute on an automatic process, imagine if the service fails for some reason, the service is not available or it has ended...
About the second one, I knew existence of JRex through my search. I looked for an example and found this web: http://blogs.pathf.com/agileajax/2007/01/how_to_really_d.html , but I didn't even tried it when I read this tips that also are at that web (mainly, #1):
There are a couple of issues that complicate matters, however:
1. JRex just won't run in headless mode. You have to have a display. On Linux you could use VNC.
2. With the complication of classloaders, etc., JRex won't run easily or cleanly in Tomcat, Jetty, etc. Therefore I decided to use a simple embedded web server. This of course has its downsides, as a good servlet container provides you with a number of advantages.
3. JRex is not a pure HTML renderer -- it is an application, that pops up dialogs, responds to user events, etc. There may be a way to just use it as renderer, but that documentation thing gets in the way again. As it is now, there is no way to tell whether the rendering was successful or whether the JRex component is stuck with a modal dialog telling the nonexistent user that the server was not responding.
4. JRex is not a real Swing/AWT component. You can't use a Graphics object to paint it to an offscreen image; all you will get is a blank page. We need to capture the part of the screen that corresponds to the browser window. That means that the browser window needs to be on top and of the size you want to image. It also means we need one display per preview server if we want to scale. (On Linux you could scale with multiple servers and multiple X displays such as VNC.)
5. We can only handle one request at a time per preview server as we only have one screen.
After that, the example goes into creating a JFrame, showing it on screen...
I found on my research the #1 with, for example, JDIC Browser, which is easy to deploy but when you render the panel to a buffered image you get a beautiful black screen :D.
Today I visited Cobra's renderer webpage, http://html.xamjwg.org/cobra.jsp, to see if they had released an update (0.97, also with a browser, "lobobrowser"), and they did, I tried it but it's the same result I got two weeks ago, it paints ok to image, but the page render it's still too bad. They are improving this as they say, so I'll keep an eye on this.
At least this project. Cobra, and Flying Saucer, aren't dead. If I find any solution I'll post here. And as always, any ideas are welcome.

Java Applet Won't Initialize

This is a modified version of a tutorial I've been working with. Code for Main.java:
import javax.swing.*;
public class Main {
* @param args the command line arguments
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
JFrame f = new JFrame("Swing Paint Demo");
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.setSize(300,300);
f.setVisible(true);
Problem is that when I try to load the applet into an html file:
<html>
<APPLET code="Main.class"></APPLET>
</html>
It doesn't load.
The file compiles and executes as a stand alone .jar, but when I try to run it as an applet it won't work.
I know I'm probably missing an easy step. I have already checked my IE7 settings and java is enabled. I have no problem with any other java applets, just the ones I make. haha. Thank you ahead of time.

I did some research, and got a new tutorial because the old one was inappropriate like you pointed out previously. This one I copy pasted into my editor, it compiled fine. I run it through my browser and it doesn't work still. Same issue, coincidentally, what do you make of it?import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
//Since we're adding a Swing component, we now need to
//extend JApplet. We need to be careful to access
//components only on the event-dispatching thread.
public class Main extends JApplet {
 JTextField field;
 public void init() {
 //Execute a job on the event-dispatching thread:
 //creating this applet's GUI.
 try {
 SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
 public void run() {
 createGUI();
 } catch (Exception e) {
 System.err.println("createGUI didn't successfully complete");
 addItem(false, "initializing... ");
 private void createGUI() {
 //Create the text field and make it uneditable.
 field = new JTextField();
 field.setEditable(false);
 //Set the layout manager so that the text field will be
 //as wide as possible.
 setLayout(new java.awt.GridLayout(1,0));
 //Add the text field to the applet.
 add(field);
 public void start() {
 addItem(false, "starting... ");
 public void stop() {
 addItem(false, "stopping... ");
 public void destroy() {
 addItem(false, "preparing for unloading...");
 cleanUp();
 private void cleanUp() {
 //Execute a job on the event-dispatching thread:
 //taking the text field out of this applet.
 try {
 SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
 public void run() {
 remove(field);
 } catch (Exception e) {
 System.err.println("cleanUp didn't successfully complete");
 field = null;
 private void addItem(boolean alreadyInEDT, String newWord) {
 if (alreadyInEDT) {
 addItem(newWord);
 } else {
 final String word = newWord;
 //Execute a job on the event-dispatching thread:
 //invoking addItem(newWord).
 try {
 SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
 public void run() {
 addItem(word);
 } catch (Exception e) {
 System.err.println("addItem didn't successfully complete");
 //Invoke this method ONLY from the event-dispatching thread.
 private void addItem(String newWord) {
 String t = field.getText();
 System.out.println(newWord);
 field.setText(t + newWord);
}

Adding image to graphic

Hi,
I am trying to add an image instead of a red square to the Performing custom painting demo.
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/painting/refining.html
I have loaded the image into the class, but can't work out how to display it in the graphic.
It is probably something simple (I hope). Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Attached is the code to the class.
class NorthPoint{
private int xPos = 150;
private int yPos = 200;
private int width = 100;
private int height = 100;
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
// load north point image
BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(new File("NorthPoint100.png"));
Icon icon = new ImageIcon(img);
JComponent nthPnt = new JLabel(icon);
public void setX(int xPos){
this.xPos = xPos;
public int getX(){
return xPos;
public void setY(int yPos){
this.yPos = yPos;
public int getY(){
return yPos;
public int getWidth(){
return width;
public int getHeight(){
return height;
public void paintNorth(Graphics g){
// g.setColor(Color.BLUE);
// g.fillRect(xPos,yPos,width,height);
g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
g.drawRect(xPos,yPos,width,height);

Use the drawImage method in Graphics. [http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/awt/Graphics.html]

Can't draw an image

Hi all I can't understand why I don't have an imge on my screen. What's wrong?
public void paint(Graphics2D g2){
          g2.setColor(new Color(225,225,225));
          g2.fillRect(x, y, width, height);
          Image image= Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(
                    "dog.jpg");
          g2.drawImage(image, x,y,null);
     }

Use ImageIO.read(url) and do it once, not in code that get calls repeatedly, like paintComponent or paint.
demo:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.imageio.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ImageExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        URL url = new URL("http://blogs.sun.com/jag/resource/JagHeadshot-small.jpg");
        BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(url);
        if (image == null) throw new NullPointerException();
        display(image);
    static void display(final Image image) {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                JPanel cp = new JPanel();
                cp.add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(image)));
                JFrame f = new JFrame("ImageExample");
                f.setContentPane(cp);
                f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                f.pack();
                f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                f.setVisible(true);
}

Nothing on my nano screen

I was just listening to my ipod and all of a sudden the screen faded away and now it's just white. I've restarted it several times and nothing happened, and I tried to download the restore program but it didn't work, so not I'm left with an ipod that can play music and update, but has no visible screen.
I can only think of two things I did that could have messed with it: a couple of months ago I painted some designs on the front and back with nail polish (but I didn't paint near any openings and it has been working for a long time with no problems), and I was in the bathroom when the screen suddenly stopped, which leads me to believe that I might have gotten water on it or something (even though I have gotten water on it before without any problems).
I just got this ipod in October after my first one got stolen, so I really don't want to have to buy a new one. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what can be done?

Hi Flyurflii,
Welcome to Apple Discussoins
Have you tried just letting your computers battery fully drain, and then recharge it completely? This works sometimes when it is frozen and nothing else works. After you do that I suggest looking at Knowledge Base Document #60983, which has instructions on Restoring iPod to Factory Settings. That is part of the major troubleshooting guide,"The Five Rs". Let us know what happens, and we can go from there
I hope that helps,
Jon
PS Draining your battery and then recharging it completely make some time. Let it sit for a bit. Another thing you should know is, I believe you voided any warranties that might be outstanding due to your "hack" (painting).

Ticker - conditional format

hi, how to do conditional format on ticker
there are two fact values (from two columns) on the ticker, and one dimension, says Market
for example, one of fact values will be both positive and negative.
if the value is < 0, the color of the value is red,
if the value is >= 0, the color of the value is green.
how to do this?
thanks

Migrating Catalog 10.1.3.2 to 10.1.3.4

I've just installed a new OBI-EE instance based on version 10.1.3.4 and have migrated my objects from our older 10.1.3.2 server. My installation is valid, as I have no problem bringing up the samplesales and paint demos. (Running on windows 2003 - 2-server cluster both nodes running smoothly!)
However, my Catalog has something about it that is keeping the Presentation Services from starting properly. The server won't start, and windows provides a meaningless error message.
In my $OracleBIData\web\catalog\log\sawlog0.log file, I'm getting the following messages logged:

Assertion failure: m_pImpl != 0 at line 145 of ./project/webcomm/rpcserver.cpp
My understanding is that there is no conversion required, that I should be able to copy my 10.1.3.2 catalog into my new catalog directory, and should be good to go! Any thoughts on what has gone wrong?
Note: if I leave my instanceconfig set to the samplesales catalog, I am able to start presentation services, and can even access my company repository using Answers.
Any suggestions appreciated!
Thank you.

Thanks all for your help - I've been able to resolve the problem.
I wasn't able to do the merge successfully, although the problem may have been operator error on my part. Archiving did't seem to get all the catalog items, but I didn't pursue this to conclusion. In the end, what resolved the issue was getting a new copy of the 10.1.3.2 catalog, when the server was shut down. Each of the copies I had were made with the server up and the catalog online. I'm guessing that there were lock files or other "stuff" in the catalog that choked the 10.1.3.4 server when it tried to start.
Best regards!

Two url's with GO function

We have one dashboard ('unit zuiveren') with 2 tabs in it ('algemeen' and 'rwzi'). I want to have one url which opens the dashboard in the first tab (algemeen') and a other url which opens directly the second tab. ('rwzi'). When I read the documentation about GO URL I only can find information to skip directly to the individalyy request but not the a tab of the dashboard.
Thanks in advanced.
URL we are using to open the dashboard:
http://server36/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&_scid=KH-V7VgssC8?Go&NQUser=zvb&NQPassword=

Hi,
You have to add the PortalPath and Page parameter.
So it should be similar to this (assuming that the dashboard Unit Zuiveren is stored in the shared folder of the demo Paint environment):
http://server36/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=/shared/Paint+Demo/_portal/unit+zuiveren&Page=rwzi
Of course you also have to add NQUser and NQPassword if you are calling it from outside OBI.
Regards

Use

Complex aggregates through answers

I have a sales table formatted like
country_id,product_id,date
(int,int,date)
or say, region, district, month in the paint demo
and I'd like to produce a single variance metric for each country_id/product_id pair based on the user's input of interval. Essentially, I want to group the number of orders by an interval (say, 20 seconds or whatever the user enters) and then do some sort of time series analysis on them (for example take the variance of that grouping)
If I were doing this in raw SQL I would create a nested query that built up the count of country_id/product_id/( count by date/20 ) and then worked over those values, but I was hoping OBIEE had some mechanism to work over such queries in a more intuitive manner. I can do this in Answers by creating hideously complex aggregates in the column formulas - is there a better way? This seems like a pretty common use case
thanks

Could you include a little worked example so its easier to visualise your requirement?
