Calculated Items and Action Links (OBIEE 11g)

Hi,
On OBIEE 11g here...
I have an anaylsis which shows a pivot table with only 6 columns of calculated items, with all of the standard columns hidden. The split of the pivot has been achieved using a variable created using the bin function.
I have set an action link on the measure shown in the pivot table to navigate to another analysis and, while clicking on one of the measures in a pivot column runs the specified report, it is not run using the the necessary parameters required to match the dataset shown in that particular column.
Is it possible to drill to a separate report and pass through the required filters from a measure showing in a calculated item, as it would be on a measure showing in a standard pivot table column?
Thanks,
Ang

You need to have 'Is Prompted' for that specific measure. I would suggest to use action links on other columns instead of metrics.
Pls mark as correct/helpful if helps

OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.5...)Column Selectors and Action Links

All,
I think we have bug - we have a column selector for 3 columns. One of them is configured to navigate to another analyses page (we have only one action link configured) . we have checked the option - "Do not display in a popup if only one action link is available at runtime". The issue is the pop-up still shows up even if there is only one action link. The issue is only for a column group.
Please let us know if anyone has figured out a work around.
Thanks

Confused about Mapviewer and SQL in OBIEE 11g.

I read in another post that you cant use mapviewer unless you have an oracle database.
Here is my confusion. The mapviewer product comes with OBIEE 11g, Correct?
If I use Google Maps, and load the map information into an SQL data base, why wouldnt I be able to get it to work?
I cant believe that Oracle, who makes a big deal about how OBIEE can work with "Any data source", would provide a key function
that would only work with an Oracle data base, thereby purposely excluding many of their customers from using that key function.
Someone please clear this up for me because we need to use maps and we use SQL Server 2008 for our data warehouse.

Hi katherine,
FILTER(count(distinct("customer info dimesion"."customerID")) USING ("TradeType Dimesion"."TradeType" = '001'))I think your formula there is mistake like many braces...instead type this in your f(x)
=>Filter(count(distinct customer_id) USING trade type='001')
This filter function is same like a case statement,if you filter still gives error write a case statement
CASE WHEN TradeType Dimesion.TradeType='001' THEN count(distinct customer info dimesion.customerID) ELSE 0 END
Will it be helpful?,follow this etiquette http://forums.oracle.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=939

Users and Group in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I am trying to bind LDAP with OBIEE 11G. I am using following Rittman Blog
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/11/oracle-bi-ee-11g-security-integration-with-microsoft-active-directory/
whenever i click USERs and GROUPs it takes a hell of time(more than 30 mins) to display users and groups, Please suggest if any thing can be done abou it
All other tabs and setting are working fine.
I did not find any thing in Adminserver.log
Please suggest
Regards
Saurabh

Hi Kishore,
In 'All User Filter' field is left blank
In 'User Name Attribute' I filled sAMAccountName.
Also i check Adminserver-stdout log, the one which we create after we create windows services. There i can see following error
Jan 18, 2012 6:00:16 PM GMT+05:30> <Error> <Console> <BEA-240003> <Console encountered the following error java.lang.RuntimeException: netscape.ldap.LDAPException: Server or network error (81); Cannot contact LDAP server
I guess its not able to connect LDAP server. But I checked all the attribues twice (on 10G LDAP configuration) they are working. I am not sure if there is problem in attributes or there is some setting I am not aware about.
Please suggest!

Operating system support (standard and enterprise ) in OBIEE 11g

Hi
Can any one help me in whether OBIEE 11g installation will be possible in both standard & enterprise edition operating system of windows server 2003 and windows server 2008 or not.
Thanks in advance.

OBIEE 11g is an application which runs on the Weblogic Application Server. Then if the windows plateform are supported for Weblogic, OBIEE 11g is also supported.
I assume that you talk about Standard Edition one and Enterprise Edition.
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/_detail/dat/obiee/obi_edition.jpg?id=dat%3Aobiee%3Astart
When we talked about Standard Edition on 10g, it was not about Oracle BI but on Discover for the reporting plateform.
If you want to be really sure, you can ask it to your representative sale.
Cheers
Nico

Division calculation using different filters in OBIEE 11g

Hello,
I have a requirement where I want to calculate division of same column using different filters in one report.
e.g. No. of Units (Where Active flag='A')/No. of units (Where Active flag='I').
I am using OBIEE 11g.
Thanks.

Try this:
((case when Active flag='A' then No. of Units end)*1.0)/
(case when Active flag='I' then No. of Units end)
It would nice if you create a new metric based on physical expression using rpd. If possible try to create it so that you can have aggregation after the calculation.
If helps pls mak as correct/helpful

Passing Job ID, Job instance from Agent to EJB-based action in OBIEE 11g?

We would like to ZIP compress Agent-scheduled report output, according to documentation using "Java Jobs" is an option but not recommended in 11g (only upgraded from 10g). Instead EJB-based java actions should be used.
Documentation has explanation of EJB-based Java action, however there's a problem when an Agent invokes the EJB-based action how can it pass out Job ID and Instance ID, etc so the custom action can refer to the related job information? When using "Java job" approach it offers public interfaces to do so. In EJB-based action there seems no information provided, the example in the documentation only demonstrates user to enter parameter values manually without any way to pass out parameter from the invoker (e.g. an Agent).
In this case, is there any public interface or any other way that an Agent can pass out Job ID related values when invoking an Java method? This seems also true for other actions like invoking web services, HTTP service, etc that no Job parameter can be passed out.
Thanks.

"Invoke a Browser Script" Action in OBIEE 11g

Follow website : http://www.rittmanmead.com/2012/07/navigating-to-bi-content-in-obiee11g-and-passing-multiple-parameters/
In file "D:\oracle\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\servers\AdminServer\tmp\_WL_user\analytics_11.1.1\silp1v\war\res\b_mozilla\actions\UserScripts.js"
I added the following function(s) to "UserScripts.js":
USERSCRIPT.customPortalPageNav = function(arg_array){
var str="parent.PortalPageNav(1";
for(args in arg_array){
var arg_name=args;
var value=arg_array[arg_name];
str+=",'"+value+"'";
str+=")";
eval(str);
USERSCRIPT.customPortalPageNav.publish={parameters:[
          new USERSCRIPT.parameter("1","Dashboard","/shared/FOLDERNAME/_portal/DASHBOARDNAME"),
          new USERSCRIPT.parameter("2","Page","Insert your Page"),
          new USERSCRIPT.parameter("3","Table","Insert Table"),
          new USERSCRIPT.parameter("4","Column","Insert Column"),
          new USERSCRIPT.parameter("5","Value","Insert Value")]};
However, this function "USERSCRIPT.customPortalPageNav" cannot be displayed in "Invoke a Browser Script" Action.
If I put the function name "USERSCRIPT.customPortalPageNav" directly in the "Invoke a Browser Script" Action dialogue, an error message will be shown. It said:
The function "USERSCRIPT.customPortalPageNav" does not exist.
Please check with your administrator that this function has been setup correctly in the user-defined script file.
What I have done wrongly? Or, how can I check the "UserScripts.js" file path is correct? How can I find a correct path for "UserScripts.js">

Hi Dpka,
Yes, I do. But, still the same.
In fact, I can see two sample functions in "Invoke a Browser Script" Action. (i.e. USERSCRIPT.putUrlInFrame, USERSCRIPT.example_displayParameters).
I edit "USERSCRIPT.example_displayParameters", replace "new USERSCRIPT.parameter( 'p3', 'Enter value for Param 3' )" to "new USERSCRIPT.parameter( 'p3', 'Enter value for Param 3', 'p3 default value' )".
Still, there is no default value for "p3".
So, I wonder whether my file path is wrong. But, how can I know where is the exact path?

How to create the relationship between ESSBASE 11 and DM in OBIEE 11G?

Hi Experts,
I have one requirement that there is one property table named 'Store Master' in DW,and it contains a lot of attribute, such as Open Date, Close Date, IS 24 Hour etc.
But another data source is essbase and based on this source, I create all reports.
In ESSBASE, it has one dimension and hierarchy Location, and it has four level, Country(L1),Region (L2),Province(L3),Store(L4)
So I want to know how to create the relationship between Location (ESSBASE) and Store Master (DM).
I try to create one relationship in physical layer between Gen4,Location and Store, then drag the open date and close date into Location Dimension in BMM,then Presentation Layer.
When I drag column 'Open Date' ,'Gen4,Location ' and 'Sales' into reports, it will generate the following error message:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 14020] None of the fact tables are compatible with the query request Dim Region.Store Open Date. (HY000)
However, when I remove the column 'Open Date'. it will be ok
So what I missing the steps? Please help me. Thanks.

>
'2. Now, pull the 'Store' column from relational DB onto the Gen5, Location column from Essbase. This action now creates, two logical sources for your 'Store' column.'
If the length from different data source is not same,such as 1001(DM),L_1001(ESSBASE), can I drag the 'Store' column from relational DB onto the Gen5, Location column from Essbase?
I think it does not work.Right?Hi,
I am not sure if you are talking about the length(as in varchar(128)) of the member value being different in different sources, or the member itself is different in both the sources.
I am still assuming, that you are referring to the members not same in both the sources.If it is, the whole concept of federation is based on conforming dimensions. So, it needs that the same dimension information is present in both the sources and then only, you know we can analyze the numbers based on this dimension. So, either the dimension being different in both sources, or the members not present in both the dimensions might lead to incorrect numbers.
So I select Store Attributes in relation DB and Location in ESSBASE in physical layer, then create the physical join, such as right("Hour Sales"."H_Sales".""."H_Sales"."Gen6,Location",4) = "Authorization".""."EDW"."T_EDW_MDM_STORE"."US_CODE", then drag the OPEN_DATE and CLOSE_DATE in relation DB to Location in ESSBASE in BMM,finially drag them into presentation layer.We create physical layer relationships, to send over the same relation to the underlying database during querying. So, creating a physical relationship between essbase cube and relation database would not help here.
When you set up this federation, BI Server sends individual queries to each source and maps the conforming dimension members internally.
Hope I was clear, and this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

Facebook forms and action links like "untag" do not work in 3.6.8

I upgraded to 3.6.8 last night, and now nothing on Facebook will work. If I try to post a status update or something on a friend's wall, the form doesn't automatically expand upon clicking in the box, and the submit button doesn't work. Also, when I try to untag pictures, the link does nothing. I switched to Safari, and everything works fine. While I love Firefox and have been using it religiously for years, it just seems to get MORE bugs as time goes on, like Flash video players not working correctly sometimes until a full quit-and-reopen in the last version. I love Google, too, but have never bothered to try Chrome... until now. I'm finally going to download it. I'll be back, eventually.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.facebook.com

Facebook - Everything works perfectly in Safari but since I upgraded Firefox to 3.6.8, messages don't work, comments, don't work, show all comments buttons don't work etc. Have removed cookies, logged out and back in, etc. problem remains.

How to move excluded items into Measures in OBIEE 11g Pivot Table

Hi All,
Need your help. Previously I have about 25 facts in my pivot table as rows. Now I need to add about 10 more. Adding new criteria only put the items into Excluded section. How can I move all these new items at once to the end of the existing facts? What I can do now is moving them one by one, and in the middle of existing facts, then move it again, because I can point my cursor to the end of them directly.
Thanks a lot,
Gajah.

I've tried to drag the fact heading, but I can't point my cursor to the end of existing list of facts (unfortunately they are all in the same fact group name). Do you have any suggestion on how to put the new facts at the end of the list?
Thanks.

Is there a way to update Alternative Items and reverse link using the DTW?

I have approximately 8,000 items that need to be tied with alternate items. I am curious if there is a way using the DTW as opposed to manually input?
Thanks,
Matt

Have you tried oAlternateCatNum template? It is the only one close to your requirement but may not be the right one. If it doesn't work, then it will be none due to no DI exposure.
Thanks,
Gordon
