BI Publisher (Obiee 11g) Scheduled jobs start randomly after services restarting

Hi everybody,
I've a problem with scheduled jobs on BI Publisher that start randomly after server restarting.
For example if there's a job scheduled every day at 8.00 am it works fine until the server is not restarted but when I restart it next job running start at 9.28 am (it is an example because the real start time is very unpredictable).
In my case bi publisher is integrated with obiee 11g (11.1.1.6.2) and I've scheduled jobs with administrative user (weblogic). For this user I've set the Bi Publisher Preferences (report locale = Italiano-Italia, Report Time Zone = GMT +1:00) from obiee analytics user account preferencies.
Can anyone have this problem too and help me?
Thanks
Annalisa

These are not helpful. The first link is to OBIEE 10g and the second is just an install guide. I am having the same issue with BI Publisher returning java.lang.NullPointerException in OBIEE 11g. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Paul

Drill through to another report with bins in OBIEE 11g

Hi Everyone,
We have a specific scenario that is as follows:
Bar chart with 3 bars: '0-30', '31-60' and 'other'
these bars repsent the number of people who are in that age bucket.
This was accomplished by taking the peron's Age (a dimension with an age column) and using the 'bin' option in obiee 11g answers.
When the user clicks on one of the bins in the bar chart (e.g. 0-30), it should navigate to another report which contains details (a table) of ONLY the people who are in that age bucket.
In order do this I created the same 'age bucket' in the drilll through report and set the field as prompted.
This works in OBIEE 10g but in OBIEE 11g when I click the 'bin' (e.g. 0-30) on the top report, it navigates to the other report via action link and displays ALL of the people, not just the people in the bucket 0-30.
Can anyone advise?
P.s. if I remove the bin for the age bucket, and display the actual age, the drill down works fine. I think the issue is specific to the bin feature. I am using OBIEE 11.1.1.6.4

Just confirmed with Oracle this is bug 13996544 . FYI just incase it helps anyone

Need help with opatch for OBIEE 11g

I'm running into some more of Oracle's typical gibberish and poorly written documentation, and need some help patching OBIEE 11g.
I'm TRYING to follow the instructions here:
https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/Services/download?type=readme&aru=13160647
So, let's see. How about step 2:
For FMW Opatch usage, please refer the doc at :
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fmw_opatch.htm
Well, that IP address automatically redirects to the general download page:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/downloads/index.html
Nice.
So, let's try this doc:
http://docs.tpu.ru/docs/oracle/en/owl/E14571_01/doc.1111/e16793/opatch.htm#CBHDEGBJ
Section 2.3.2, "Patching a Fusion Middleware Product"
Quoting: "Once you obtain the patch, determine the Oracle home directory to which you are going to apply the patch....If you do not know the name of your Oracle home, you should run the opatch lshomes command as described in Section 2.4.6, "Listing the Applicable Oracle Homes for a Patch" to obtain a list of Oracle homes that pertain to the domain."
So let's see, I've got two OPATCH.BAT files, one in c:\mw_home1\Oracle_BI1=OPatch\, and the other in c:\mw_home1\oracle_common\OPatch\.
I open a command window, CD to one of those paths, and run opatch lshomes. I get this error:
"The Oracle Home C:\mw_home1 is not OUI based home. Please give proper Oracle Home. OPatch returns with error code = 1. OPatch failed with error code = 1"
Same results for the other opatch.bat in the other directory.
Besides the atrocious grammar, this error message is not helpful in the least. I'm trying to patch OBIEE 11g, which is installed in c:\mw_home1. What else is opatch wanting?

Yes, the error message is misleading. It should say something like "Environment variable ORALCE_HOME has not been set or set incorrectly".
Here is how I solved the problem on a Windows Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA installation. The SOA installation already comes with OPatch installed. In my case it is located in D:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1\OPatch. On a command prompt, I set the environment variable ORACLE_HOME like this
set ORACLE_HOME=D:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1
and the CLASSPATH variable like this
set classpath=
The latter prevents opatch from loading classes it does not need and throwing java.lang.ClassNotFoundException. Also notice ORACLE_HOME does not point to D:\Oracle\Middleware but D:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1. I made a mistake by setting ORACLE_HOME to D:\Oracle\Middleware kept getting:
"Recommended actions: Please make sure no other OPatch or OUI processes is running. Try to run $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/runInstsaller.
OPatch failed with error code = 20"
I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out what went wrong.

Column Formula with Error in OBIEE 11g

Hello,
On Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 11g, I am trying to create an analysis. The database is MySQL. In the database, there is a field of type varchar(10). This
field shows a date. In OBIEE 11g, when creating the analysis, in the Criteria tab, I choose this column (varchar) and edit the formula of it. The operation that I want to do is:
YEAR(CURRENT_DATE) - SUBSTRING("TableName"."ColumnName" FROM 1 FOR 4) where the ColumnName is the name of the column of type varchar(10)
but I get an error: +[nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 27002] Near <->: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012]+
If I execute the same query directly on the MySQL database, I get the desired result without any error.
Also, if I use the following formula, I also get an error:
CAST((SUBSTRING("TableName"."ColumnName" FROM 1 FOR 4)) AS INTEGER)
So, I am asking why the first query throws an error in OBIEE 11g but not when it runs directly on the MySQL database. Also, how can I convert in OBIEE 11g a string to integer?
Thank you in advance,
Griselda

sathyaHi sathya,
It could mean several different things. Do you know if the administrator have shut down the services? If you have access to the server, check to see if all the services are up and running.

Issue with Excel output in BI Publisher(OBIEE 11g)

Hi All,
I have designed my BIP report in RTF Layout, it contains pivot table( with one column and one row and a measure column). when i export the report in Excel output format, i have 3 issues.
i) I have fixed the pivot table row height as 13.75 pixels in RTF Layout but when i export it into Excel output it comes with 15 pixels as row height.
ii) In layout i have Arial 8 as font formatting, in Excel output it comes with calibri 11 (when i double click on the cell it shows Arial 8).
iii) Pivot table has month Column which grows horizontally when i run the report ie. Jan, Feb,..Dec.In Excel it has to show each month with a single column is my requirement like
A
B
C
D
E
Jan

But it shows like below, each month occupied multiple columns; it affect the report structure.
A
B
C
D
E
Jan
Feb
Sales Quantity
120
110
Can anyone help me on this.
Thanks in Advance
Arun.

Try using substring instead of substr. You may want to try LOGO1 and LOGO2 as texts first just to ensure that the condition is working.
<?xdofx: if substring(OU_NAME,1,3)='MAC' then LOGO1 else LOGO2 end if?>
Hope this helps.

Passing filters to hyperlinks in BI Publisher-Obiee 11g integrated report

Hi,
I've a report requirement to build a BIP report in integration with OBIEE.
In my dashboard, I've a dashboard prompt, obiee reports and a BIP report.
BIP report contains hyperlinks (created in template builder) which direct me to the obiee report pages.
Now, when u apply the prompts, BIP report filters the data accordingly and displays it in the same page. (OBIEE reports also gets filtered accordingly).
After this, when I click on the hyperlinks it takes me to the obiee page which is NOT filtered according to the prompt.
So I would like to know how do I use the filters in these links?
Can I please get some help on how to make this work? This is an urgent requirement!
Thanks,

Hi,
You can try these steps
On the BI Publisher 11.1.1.5, Go to Administration --> System Maintenance --> Server Configuration. Under the catalog heading,Test Connection. If the connection is successful, then click on the button Upload to Bi Presentation Catalog".
After the above step you should be able to see your folder under catalog.
Let me know if this helped.

Problem with rank in OBIEE 11G

Hi,
I have a problem with the function rank in obiie, i have two columns the first is the id of employees, and the second is the rank of revenues of employees, when I filter one employee and the rank is always 1, someone can help me?
Cumps

I do not think this is going to be possible using a traditional filter on the query.
In order for the rank function to correctly work, it has to be aware of the other column values in the query to assign a rank to each row. When you filter the query ( either on the ID or the Rank) all of the other column values will be FILTERED OUT of the query. Rank will only see 1 value in the column, so it gets the #1.
You have 2 options here:
Selection steps: use selection steps to "keep" only the rows you are interested in. Selection steps basically allow you to"hide" some of the rows your query has returned, but still calculate against them for aggregate functions. If you are focusing on a top or bottom % this solution will work well.
If you are hell-bent on using a filter, the only way you will be able to get the rank function to work is to calculate the rank in a 2nd query, then use an outer join to attach the rank column onto your filtered employee query.

Issue with Writeback in OBIEE 11g

Hello,
I have a created writeback report and it is working fine as of now .Now I changed the writeback template to use stored procedure to update the data.When I am trying to update integer columns it is working fine but when I try to update varchar columns it is giving the error instantly without generating the log.
"An error occurred while writing to the server. Please check to make sure you have entered appropriate values. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator."
When I try to update the procedure in DB ,it is working as expected. Can anyone tell me what is way I can troubleshoot the issue?

OBIEE 11g: Dashboard not invoking simple javascript alert

Hi Experts,
I'm trying to invoke one simple ALERT command with javascript in obiee 11g dashboard. The purpose is when it loads, it should print one ALERT message and also when we change something in the prompt and clicking Apply button.
Here is code written in a text item (Checked html markup option) after prompts;
<script language="Javascript">
alert ("Hello");
</script>
The Javascript alert message is showing when the dashboard page loads, but its not coming when we click the Apply button after changing the prompts.
Can anyone give helpful hint, how to check it and why its not showing up when we press Apply button?
Any hint or some useful links will b highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You just used code and I would say the default event is onload of the page, thats the reason you are able to see alert.
Since you didnt ask or written code onClick event to show alert, its not showing.
You need to tell to browser when to prompt alert message instead of onload.
Hope you are more confuse about 'how to do'
if yes, mark :)
give some more info about your actual req. that helps any other gurus to help.

OBIEE 11g on AIX 32 bit

I have to start with installation of OBIEE 11g on a AIX server can some one tell me the best and the tested links for the same.
I have gone through the installation guide by Oracle and have few queries
1. RCU for Unix is also a userinterface or these are specific set of commands
2. For UNIX systems , does it always have to be a software installation type and for this Do I have do install weblogic diffrently and configure it differently
Any material with commands and screenshotss will be helpfull

Hi,
I am assuming that you are going for 11.1.1.5,
1. RCU for Unix is also a userinterface or these are specific set of commandsRCU is available on 32- and 64-bit Linux and Windows operating systems. Either theLinux RCU or Windows RCU can be used to create schemas on any supported
database.The sole purpose is to create the required schemas , details of which will be entered during the software installation.
2. For UNIX systems , does it always have to be a software installation type and for this Do I have do install weblogic diffrently and configure it differentlyNo. You can go for other installation types too, depending on your requirement.

Integration of Oracle BI Publisher with OBIEE 11G

Hi, all.
I want to know How to Integration of Oracle BI Publisher with OBIEE 11G?
Because I can't create data set using Oracle BI Analysis now, and the analyses and dashboards in BIEE presentation catalog is unvisible. Why?
Thank you.

I may be missing something, but BI Publisher Enterprise is installed at the same time as when you install BIEE on the server. You wouldn't install BI Publisher Desktop on that server. You can use BI Publisher Desktop locally to create templates for use in BI Publisher Enterprise.
I'm much more familiar with XML (BI) Publisher as part of Oracle Apps moreso than BIEE, so I could be wrong in my assessment.
Hope that helps,
Brett

OBIEE 11g - create dashboard with Answers Analyse and BI Publisher Repport

Hi there,
I have one question . I create dashboard in OBIEE 11g .In my dashboard have one analyse and one bip report .I create one prompt filter , that changes the both .But I wanted when i click in analysis and change it, this change is reflected in the Report . Is this possible?
Thanks

I am talking about object permissions in the catalog (eg. Folder permissions..). This is in addition to the permissions for the data source.
You need to be able to view the folders from where you can select the analysis as a data source in the BI publisher report.
Here is an excerpt from the Guide:
For a role to access an object in the catalog, the role must be granted Read permissions on both the object and the folder in which the object resides. Permissions can be granted at the folder level and applied to all the objects and subfolders it contains, or applied to individual objects.
To grant catalog permissions to a role:
Navigate to the Catalog.
Locate the folder or object on which you wish to grant permissions and click More. From the menu, select Permissions. Alternatively, you can select the folder and click Permissions in the Tasks region.
Thanks,
BIPuser
