Multiple level bursting in OBIEE

I am creating a report in OBIEE, which needs to be bursted.
the bursting should be done at multiple levels
For ex:
take a sample report of employees table, dept table.
I want to burst by dept-wise , Job-wise and manager-wise.
i mean, 10 dept PDF , 7 position PDF and X manager PDF.
Will i be able to do this by using bursting query ??

I was at a conference and heard that someone actually uses OBIEE. Is that you? Or is it two people now?

Bursting and OBIEE content

I am trying to use BI Publisher to burst a report whose datasource is OBIEE content (either an Answer or built from a subject area) but am encountering an java "null pointer" error.
I am able to successfully burst reports whose content is directly from a database.
Is this a known limitation of bursting, that it cannot occur on OBIEE content within BI Publisher?

Hi,

OBIEE content cannot be displayed in the IFrame .
I have tried the instanceconfig.xml and web.xml modifications And cleaning browser cache as per below blog ,but still the message is getting displayed .

And After clicking OK , I am getting logged out of OBIEE .
Am I missing anything ?
Waiting for ur replies
sayakHi Sayak,
Read through the content of this in MOS: Integration Of Obiee In 8.1.1.3: "OBIEE content cannot be displayed in the IFRAME" [ID 1296232.1]
Although applying the security setting is a workaround to fix this problem, oracle highly recommends to use Virtual IP or single OHS/Apache/IIS solution be adopted instead.

Multiple level bursting using iBots

Hi All,
I want to burst the OBIEE report with the report data. For example if the report has Branch details, need to burst the report based on the branch wise.
Can we able to do in OBIEE?

Hi,
You can do it in Pivot table.
Assign Points and close the Question if it is answered.
Go to Pivot table view and add the required column by which you need to burst the report into sections tab of pivot table. I think it is your requirement.

Lakshmipathi.

Obiee 11g Ibots Bursting

All: Is it possible to enforce data security filters when a report would need to be delivered to multiple users with individual data visibility? These users will not log in to the OBIEE 11g system and hence the user names (accounts) will not be present under user/groups of WebLogic Console.
BI Publisher can do the same, but I wanted to confirm if OBIEE 11g's IBOT delivery is really not designed/setup to distribute content with individual data security when the users are not selected from logged in user accounts. In a nutshell, we won't pay license fees for users who receive their data thru Ibots.
Thanks
AR

Short answer: No it isn't.
Longer answer: No it isn't designed to do that. It's a question of security and handling of sensitive data. OBIEE does an implicit login when personalizing the content of an agent. So you can either go for BIP bursting or as you say pay the license fees.

Obiee 11g Publisher Bursting Report error

Hi
I am using Obiee 11g (ver. 11.1.1.3.0) and trying to achieve report bursting. I have created Data model and Report. Report is showing result but once I schedule report by bursting to file,
1. I am getting error (ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected).
2. where I can get bursting fail log?
Its urgent.
Bursting to file SQL Query as below: -
SELECT DEPT.DNAME as DNAME KEY, 'Standard' TEMPLATE,
'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
'en-US' LOCALE,
'PDF' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
'FILE' DEL_CHANNEL,
'E:\BIP' PARAMETER1,
DEPT.DNAME || '.pdf' PARAMETER2
FROM SCOTT.DEPT DEPT

Change your query to the following and then try it out; this should take care of the ORA error
SELECT DEPT.DNAME KEY, 'Standard' TEMPLATE,
'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
'en-US' LOCALE,
'PDF' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
'FILE' DEL_CHANNEL,
'E:\BIP' PARAMETER1,
DEPT.DNAME || '.pdf' PARAMETER2
FROM SCOTT.DEPT DEPT

Burst reports to non-obiee users using SA SYSTEM table

Can some please assist.
I have setup the SA TABLE as seen in many blogs and done according to the instructions Yet, I an still not getting the report sent to non-users.
I keep getting the following message in the log: In my test case there are 4 non user to get a report.
The logon names match the report ID's... but no luck
Any suggestions?
+++ ThreadID: 16d4 : 2012-11-13 13:21:14.000
iBotID: /shared/_ibots/AI Test

iBotID: /shared/_ibots/AI Test
No devices for user: sbrault

These 4 users suppose to be uses of BI to send the ibot/agent.
Since you enabled to use SA_System subject area, this would look for the Delivery Profile and Devices for users.
Pls mark if helps

Unable to burst a report in 11.1.1.6.2 BP1

Unless you're interested in the Subject line, you may probably disregard this thread. I recreated the data model from scratch, including the bursting definitions, and everything works just fine now. Something screwy in the XML, I suppose.
A bursted report (bursting to file) that has worked perfectly in the past is not working in BP1.
This error is thrown:
Job processor caused exception
[INSTANCE_ID=ms-obi-11g-19.1343489489717] [INSTANCE_JOB_ID=2202]::
Error getting report data
[INSTANCE_ID=ms-obi-11g-19.1343489489717] oracle.xdo.servlet.scheduler.ProcessingException:

at oracle.xdo.enterpriseScheduler.bursting.BurstingJobProcessor.getControlXML(BurstingJobProcessor.java:317)
at oracle.xdo.enterpriseScheduler.bursting.BurstingJobProcessor
Bursting to File is the problem. (I'm able to burst to e-mail just fine.)
All criteria are the same as before. The Split By and Deliver By fields are both set to /DATA/CURR_MONTH/REGION, which matches up with the KEY parameter in the Bursting criteria shown here:
select distinct
"Geog"."Region" KEY,
'Blue' TEMPLATE,
'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
'en-US' LOCALE,
'PDF' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
'FILE' DEL_CHANNEL,
'C:\Bursting' PARAMETER1,
"Geog"."Region" || '.pdf' PARAMETER2
from "BI Pub Class"."Geographies" "Geog"
I've checked all of the obvious stuff (yes, Blue is a template and so forth). Again, it worked perfectly in previous releases, prior to BP1.
Anyone have a guess about what 'Error getting report data' means?
BTW, my bursting to email criteria look like this, and it works:
select distinct
"Geog"."Region" KEY,
"Geog"."Layout" TEMPLATE,
'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
'en-US' LOCALE,
'PDF' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
'EMAIL' DEL_CHANNEL,
'[email protected]' PARAMETER1,
'' PARAMETER2,
'[email protected]' PARAMETER3,
'Results for ' || "Geog"."Region" PARAMETER4,
'Here is the body of the e-mail.' PARAMETER5,
'TRUE' PARAMETER6,
'' PARAMETER7
from "BI Pub Class"."Geographies" "Geog"
Edited by: Mark T. on Jul 31, 2012 2:34 PM

Additional information: now the e-mail bursting doesn't work either - same error message. Could 'Error getting report data' indicate some sort of disconnect between BIP and the OBIEE data source? It works fine in the browser, and worked fine for a few minutes.

PDFs are not generated from Burst

Hi all
I am getting this error when i schedule my report to run:
Document generation failed

This is my bursting delivery query below (which took me a loooong time to figure out!). I am bursting to the file system on the OBIEE server. Funnily enough when i change the output format to RTF, then the bursting works perfectly, but if i change it to PDF, i get this error. I have looked and looked for a reason as to why this happens but i have no idea. I can see in the job history that the data is split correctly and i can see that it generates the documents (they are shown when i click on Republish). Please if anyone has any idea, please reply - i desperately want to get this working, and i have no idea why it doesnt work.
I have checked the logs and it seems that everything generates correctly, and when i open the .out files produced in AdobeReader everything opens successfully and the document has the correct information. It is also not related to permissions on the folder specified in the bursting query -> if i use the runReport webservice for the same report and specify C:\Temp as the output path ( and pdf as the attributeFormat), the file is written out correctly. It seems that the problem is with writing out more than one pdf file, but why???????? Not sure if it has anything to do with the scheduler at all ( i run the report by using the RunNow option in the scheduler)?
Thanks very much for any and all help!

Can OBIEE deliver reports to email addresses of non-OBIEE users?

We are considering using OBIEE, but one of our requirements is to be able to schedule and deliver basic reports (Excel or PDF perhaps) via email to a relatively large number of recipients.
When I say "relatively large number" - what I mean is: more recipients than we want to buy licenses for. These recipients would not need or be allowed access to anything other than the scheduled report that we send to them on a weekly or monthly basis, so it makes no sense for us to buy licenses for them.
But from what I can find so far, OBIEE only delivers reports to licensed users.
Is there in fact some way to schedule and email reports to any (non-user) email address from within OBIEE?
Or would I need a separate third party solution to accomplish this? (Any suggestions would be appreciated!)
Thanks!

If you store the ppl in a table (basically any datasource you attack with the rpd), you create a request pulling up all the targeted user, then in the "Recipients" tab of the iBot, you can choose
"Determine recipients from conditional request"
Then you specify the "Column Containing Recipients".
