Can we use OWB dimesnions in OBIEE ?
Hi all,
Iam new to OBIEE reporting. Can any one of the experts clarify my question?
1. As per requirement Developing the Dimensions in OWB, can we use them in OBIEE 11g and am I goin to get the funcatinality of drill down. Or do we need to create seperate dimensions in OBIEE. Do we have any document for this?
2. If answer is yes, then what is the use of creating dimensions in OWB.
Thanks & Regards,
Kalyan.
The topics of this forum are the PL/SQL and SQL languages in the Oracle server.
What are the PL/SQL and/or SQL language problems in your question? Can you be more specific?
Else you would be better served by asking your question in a more appropriate OTN forum.

Can I use OWB to convert a fix-delimitted file to a csv file?
Hi! anyone tried this before? source file is in fixed-length file and target should be a csv file.
thanks in advance,
carlo
OWB 10r2It's quite simple.
1.Generate 2 file objects in the OWB design that represent the 2 files. One configured as fixed-length, the other as csv.
2. Design an external table based on your input file object
3. Design a mapping that maps from the external table into the 2nd (csv) file object
4. Configure file names as desired
5. Deploy external table, connector(s) and mapping to DB
6. Execute the mapping
There you go...

Can I create a BI Beans compliant cube using OWB?
Can I create a cube that I can browse using BI beans through OWB 9.0.4 or are there additional steps that I need to take using other tools such as Enterprise manager?
Are there any known incompatibilities between OWB 9.0.4 and BI beans 9.03.1.?
I will also pose this question in the BI Beans forum.
Thanks for any replies.

OWB: how can automatic updation perform in staging database using OWB
I am using OWB-etl to fetch data from source database and store to staging db.
in target table operator i am using insert operation.
it is inserting data fien.
but my requirement is target database must be automatically updated with what ever modification made to source data base.
can u pls help me how to achive this ?
Thanks alot ...
k azamtulla khanHi,
why do you want to do this using OWB, is it not easier to create a before/after insert/update trigger on source table so that your target table is updated automatically. You can benefit by using owb in scenarios where you need to transform and load data and then schedule this process and for the rest of it i would recommend using triggers for row level activities such as update. -
Using SOA with OBIEE -- Can i use ECLIPSE or do i need JDeveloper?
Hello - I want to use SOA with OBIEE -- Can i use eclipse or do i need JDeveloper?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,You can of course use either eclipse or Jdevelopper.
What you need is to consume the web service file (WSDL). You can also use the package UTL_HTTP or any language you work with.
For JDevelopper :
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/07/31/customizing-obi-ee-soap-api/
For Eclipse :
With Eclipse, you have to install WTP and then you can create the library.

Re: Problems calling the OBIEE webservices

Can you create nested condition in merge(e.g. insert/update) using owb
Hi,
Does OWB9iR2 allow you to build in nested condition in merge. such as
If no match on col1 and col2 then
if col3 match then no new sequence insert <---
else insert new sequence;
else (there is match on col1 and col2)
update col3 and sequence.
I have an incremental load for a lookup table, where insert/update is used. There are two match columns and surrogate key is used. When there is no match, it shall not insert a sequence when there is a match on third column. I can not use the 3rd column in the original match because it shall be updated where there is a match for the two match column.
I am trying to avoid using transformant for performance impact. ThanksHIi I think the misleading thing is that in PL/SQL you can use booleans, which is not possible in SQL. So in a PL/SQL tranformation, this is OK:
a:= case when not orgid_lkup( INGRP1.ORG_ID )
then get_supid(..)
else ...
but, the following SQL does not work:
select case when not orgid_lkup( INGRP1.ORG_ID )
then get_supid(..)
else ...
into a
from dual;
I ended up using only 0/1 as boolean return values for these reasons;
so I can have:
select
case when orgid_lkup( INGRP1.ORG_ID ) = 0 then ...
though true booleans are better if you don't have to embed them in SQL.

Can I use "dvt" function for customizing the chart format in OBIEE 11g?
Hi,
".pcxml" file cannot be found in OBIEE11g. However, can I use "dvt" function for customization? If yes, how?
Reference for dvt function:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/apirefs.1111/e12418/tagdoc/dvt_pieGraph.htmlHello,
I know it's possible, because i already found some blogs about changing the chart colors and turning off the animated graphs.
<Graph visualEffects="NONE" animationDuration="0">
But we want to alter more chart options, like make a bar chart default stacked. In 10G this was possible. I think this is also
possible in 11G through the dvt-graph-skin.xml, but what i want to know is, is there a document that explains which tags you could use in this file.
It would be great to get some help on this. -
Can we use Evaluate function in Prompt
Hi all
Can we use Evaluate Function in Dashboard Prompt?
I need some exposure on how to use it.
I am working on a HRMS-OLTP Source where I need to work with Oracle Functions from OBIEE.
IF somebody can tell me that, It will be a favour for me....
ThanQ
Anand VHi All,
Here's an example of how to use evaluate. This use calls the Oracle TO_DATE function: EVALUATE('TO_DATE(%1,%2)' as DATE, '03/03/2009', 'MM/DD/YYYY')
Here's how it works: EVALUATE( '<FUNC>' AS <DATATYPE>, VALUE1,VALUE2,etc)
FUNC) Is the syntax for the function you are calling. Any parameters have to be replaced by %<number>, where number refers to the order in which you specify your parameters.
DATATYPE) The datatype that the function will evaluate to. In this case, DATE.
VALUE1) The latter part of the formula is a comma separated list of all the parameters used in the function. In this case, it's the date I want to cast
VALUE2) This is the second parameter. You need as many as you referenced in your function. In this case, it's the date format.
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!
Best regards,

Thanks in Advance
KishanHi Niels,
As I'm sure you know, the conundrum is that Reports doesn't know how many total pages there will be in the report until it is all done formatting, which is too late for your needs. So, one classical solution to this problem is to run the report twice, storing the total number of pages in the database using a format trigger, and throwing away the output from the first run when you don't know the total number of pages.
Alternatively, you could define a report layout so that the number of pages in the output is completely predictable based upon, say, the number of rows in the main query. E.g., set a limit of one, two, ... rows per page, and then you'll know how many pages there will be simply because you can count the rows in a separate query.
Hope this helps...
regards,

Hi Gurus,
I am new to owb and as per requirement we need to load xml files into oracle table using owb.

please help me in loading above xml file using owb.You can leverage the XML SQL functions to extract from XML using the database, see the blog post below;

For example to extract information from your XML document the following SQL can be generated from OWB;
select extractValue(value(s), '/book/author'),
extractValue(value(s), '/book/year'),
extractValue(value(s), '/book/price') from
( select XMLType('<bookstore>

Loading data from SQL server 2000 to Oracle using OWB 10.2
Hi All,
I have to move data from SQL server to Oracle using OWB. Any idea how to connect to SQL Server thru the OWB design centre console. There is no detail available in the documentation. OWB cocumentation says that "OWB Integrator for Oracle DB & Apps 3.0" is available to connect to Non-Oracle Database (including Sybase, Informix, ODBC).Hi,
yes, you can use ODBC and configure HSODBC on the database server to create a database link to the sql-server. If your oracle server is microsoft based you are ready, otherwise you have to buy an odbc-driver for linux, unix or whatever you use.

Can not run OWB Mapping automatically by OEM? . Very urgent. Pls help me
Hi all,
Pls help me.
I am using OWB 10g under Oracle 10g. I want to run OWB Mapping automatically by OEM.
I installed Oracle Database 10g fully but don't have OEM in this. After that, I installed Oracle Client 10g. In this product, there is OEM 10g. I read some topic as "want to run owb mappings thru job schedule" and also read http://otn.oracle.com/products/warehouse/htdocs/oem_scheduling_viewlet_swf.html
But my OEM not as same as in this . It don't have job menu and OEM Console Login window and don't have also where I can put username/pwd to login into OMS???
I don't know this problem.
Pls help me.Hi,
Here are two possible solutions:
1) If you have OEM 9i anywhere in your environment you can use this for scheduling the OWB jobs.
2) If your environment is 10g only you need to install 10g Grid Controll. This product has replaced the OMS / Java console of earlier releases, and contains the same functionality for scheduling jobs.
Note that if you are using the sql_exec_template to execute your mappings you can schedule and run these from any machine on the network, not just the target server.
Hope this helps,
