Change in the query of a report

Hi All
Recently we have upgraded one of our siebel analytics 7.8 project to OBIEE 10.1.4.3.0. After upgradation we came to know one issue. Previously in Siebel 7.8, in some reports sql query, there was Round function. But in OBIEE, the same function is being transformed as Truncate. This is not creating any problem from Data side. But we want to know why it is being converted into Truncate.
could you please tell me why its happening like that... any help would be appreciated.

Hi Sai,
Thank you for your reply. Infact, there is no upgradation of DB. We were using Oracle 10g for Siebel Analytics 7.8 and still we are using the same for OBIEE also. And can you please tell me what DB features will affect this transformation?

Dynamic change in the query name based on user input

Hi Gurus,
In a scenario, country appears as a user input variable.When the user specifies his country, the same query displays Business trends' data pertaining to his own country and rest of the world(international) in two tables.The reports are developed using Web application designer.
Can the name(description) of the query be changed so that the user input value for country gets dynamically reflected in the query name like Business trends:Selected country vs International?
Regards,
Balaji

Hi Bala,
ya this can be done by text variables. create a text variable( replacement path on the country infoobject) by going to the query properties on the description.
if the user enters country value then it will be displaed on the description of the query .
assign points if useful .

Manupilation of the Query in Crystal Report

Dear Experts,
   I have prepared a report to get opening balance which I haven able to achieve. Please find it below:
SELECT    SUM(dbo.JDT1.Debit)- SUM(dbo.JDT1.Credit) as Opening
FROM         dbo.JDT1 INNER JOIN
                      dbo.OJDT ON dbo.JDT1.TransId = dbo.OJDT.TransId
where dbo.OJDT.DueDate between '20090101' AND ''.
Now I want to get the cumulative total for the balance, I know about the Running balance which adds
current figure to the previous. But the problem is how to add the opening balance and then
add current figure as done by Running. I have put down a link of what I am looking for in my report.

Your help be appreciated

Hi,
You need a BEx query ontop of the MC, which is set 'allow external access'
You need software "integration kit for SAP solutions"
You need Crystal Designer client
You need to use the "BW MDX Driver"
You need to add the query fields using the "Database Expert" wizard
Then design the report.
When you come to asking about creating the IRR formula in Crystal, please ask that question the Crystal subforum in SDN.

How to display language key (0LANGU) in the query for BW report

Hi,
Can someone tell me how to display language key (0LANGU) in the query? I want to display which language (English or French) is used for material description in BW report. Thx.

hi,
check if the infoobject is kept as lang dependent or not for material text, else you need to create a masterdata attribute with text and lang keys and do corresponding mapping, so then it can be displayed in your report

Hello Experts,
I have added infobjects to the cube, ODS and Infoset. These object are already in production from a long time and there queries / reports on the same.
When I am going to transport the new Cube, ODS and Infoset with the new objects added, would this effect the queries/ reports which the users are already using them.
Is there any caution or procedure to be followed.
Thanks,
BWer

Hi BWer,
In addition to what Arun said..
If you are adding anything in the Infoset make sure you adjust the Infoset in RSISET.

For the more clarification, I have used JDBC Query as Data source type and Database connected via ODBC Driver in System DSN. The Driver selected from the drop-downs are jdbc-odbc.
Kindly explain the mistake I m doing.

Inserting 320 millions rows...the speed change whilst the query is running

Hi guys, I got a strange behavior in my data warehouse. When I insert data in a table I start to take note of the speed. So in one minute, at the beginning the speed was 3 millions every minute (it expected 312 millions rows) but now, after five hours the
speed is 83.000 row per minute and the table has already 234 millions rows. Now, I'm wondering if this behavior is right and how I can improve the performance (if I can whilst the insert is running).
Many Thanks

change Database recovery mode to bulklogged(Preferably)/ simple.
No - that will not solve the problem because INSERT INTO isn't bulk logged (automatically). To force bulk logged operation the target table need to be locked exclusively!
Greg Robidoux has a great matrix for that!
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1185/minimally-logging-bulk-load-inserts-into-sql-server/
@DIEGOCTIN,
I assume nobody can really give you an answer because it could have so much reasons for it! As Josh has written GROWTH could have been a problem if Instant File Initialization isn't setup. But 320 mil records in one transaction could cause a heavy growth
of the log file, too. This cannot participate from Instant File Initialization.
Another good tip came from Olaf, too!
I would suggest to insert the data with a tablock. In this case the transaction is minimally logged and the operation will not copy rows but pages into the target table. I've written a WIKI about that topic here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/20651.sql-server-delete-a-huge-amount-of-data-from-a-table.aspx
Wish you all a merry christmas and a happy new year!

Bind option in report. How to change setting in Query Designer?

Hello,
Is there any way of changing the 'Bind display of textx/attributes in data provider result and in value help' in the portal. We can change this option from the report by right clicking on the characteristic -> Properties -> Characteristic -> Selecting the 'Advanced' tab. But we want to make a permanent change to this option from the query designer so that the users would not have to change it every time they run the report. Can anyone point to where I can make that change in the query designer or anywhere else if that works?
There is a characteristic say 'XYZ'. It has a attribute 'ATTR'. We want to display the attribute alone in the column of the query. We are able to do so by bringing the characteristic 'XYZ' and dragging and dropping the attribute 'ATTR' under it. We then change the display options to make the characteristic as 'No dispaly'. But this affects not just the characteristic in the columns, but also in the Navigational blocks. So the users are not able to see any values while filtering. One way to fix this is to uncheck the 'Bind display of textx/attributes in data provider result and in value help' option after the report is executed which is an end user task. But we want to find out a way of changing this from the query designer, so that the users won't need to carry out his activity every time they run the report.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

There are a few ways that you can achieve this. If your SQL Queries have their filters modified (ie. WHERE clause) then this can be easily solved by adding report parameters to the Report filter. Search the in-product help for "Record Filter" and you should get a number of helpful resources returned.Additionally, you can pass in java.sql.ResultSet objects with a populated recordset of the data you want to show in the report. We don't currently provide any tools to assist the creation of the code stubs for thick-client applications (like we do for JSP pages) however you can download a collection of thick-client sample code from here:<a href="http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crxi_r2_jrc_desktop_samples.zip">http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crxi_r2_jrc_desktop_samples.zip</a> As I mentioned, this sample contains a collection of code snippets. The one in particular you will be interested in is titled "JRCResultsetDatasource". Hopefully, this will provide you with a few options. Regards, Sean Johnson (CR4E Product Manager)

Changed reconciliation account in vendor master - Report FAGLF101

Hi
When a Recon account is changed in the Vendor Master, a report has to be run to post the adjustment entries using T-Code FAGLF101.
The query is that, the report posts the adjustment entries through an adjustment account but at the same time also reverses the effect on the first day of the next month.
Is there a way to stop this reversal. Though I do not select the reversal posting date, system is reversing the entry.
Further, why is the Recon account not posted to rectify the entries?
Regards
Abhishek Kumar

Hi
For changing the reconciliation account in Vendor Master and customer master, please follow the following steps.
1. First change the reconaccount in the customer / vendor master
2. run the program SAPF101 for adjusting balances of old recon account to the new recon account.
Problem will be solved.
I hope it will clarify your doubts.
Regards
Madhav

Can i modify the query in discoverer

Hi
I am working on discoverer vierwer, is it possible to change the query and run the query myself. I can access the query but i can't make any changes.
The problem i am having is i want to show the sum of a variable but not show the count, is this possible ?
any help would be appreciated
thanks
nimesh

Hi Nimesh
Presumably the workbook you are referring to is not owned by you and has only been shared with you? In this case, while you can make changes to the query while it is in memory, providing you have the necessary privileges that is, you will not be able to save over the original. This is because only the owner can do this and you are not the owner.
What you can do though is to use Save As and save ourself a variant of the report. Of course this opens up another spoke in the wheel of reinvented queries, something that most organizations would like to avoid.
Therefore, perhaps the best option would be to contact the owner of the workbook and request that it be modified for your needs.
I hope this helps
Best wishes

How to delete the Query Buffer in OLAP

Hi Guys,
I have been working with query, after some time there has some changes in cube data.
But when i execute the query it shows the previous values only.
So, i would like to delete the existed buffer in OLAP from that query.
So, please help me out regarrding this....
Its very urgent.
Points are assigned for better ones.
Thanks in advance
Peter

Cached results have a timestamp, which is compared with the timestamp of the last data load
and meta data change.
If new data is loaded before a cached query is executed again, the OLAP engine states that the
cached entry is out-of-date. It removes the old entry, loads the current query result from the
InfoProviders and writes back this new OLAP Cache entry. The OLAP Cache entry is invalidated
in the following cases:
Transaction Data Load to the underlying InfoProvider(s)
Deletion of Transaction Data from the underlying InfoProvider(s)
Master Data Load (and hierarchies) and subsequent change run of InfoObjects contained
in the query definition
Currency conversion rate change
This invalidation is also done for meta data changes, i.e. changes to the query structure, and
query generation.
Note that changes to key dates for time-dependent master data does not result in invalidation,
but in an additional cache entry.
In addition, the OLAP Cache can be invalidated and deleted completely via the OLAP Cache
monitor (transaction RSRT 􀃆 Cache Monitor or transaction RSRCACHE). One query entry in
the OLAP Cache can be invalidated by simply re-generating the query.

Can't find out the problem in the query.

emp Table->
(name varchar2(10),
shot_seq varchar2(1)
The emp table contains around 2 million records.
When I run the following query the output comes within 20 seconds.
select name,sum(decode(shot_seq,1,1,0)) as pd2 from emp where shot_seq = 1
group by name;
But when i made the change in the query by putting ' shot_seq = '1' ', so that query is now:
select name,sum(decode(shot_seq,1,1,0)) as pd2 from emp where shot_seq = '1'
group by name;
The output doesn't comes, sqlplus just hangs up.
Please explain what is the reason behind this.
Thanks for ur time,
skala.

1.
I think the problem is with sum and decode part:
..sum(decode(shot_seq,1,1,0)) as ...
If <shot_seq> is character then you need to convert it to_number before using any group functions....
2.
Check your decode:
......(shot_seq,1,1,0)) as pd2 from emp where shot_seq = '1'
I think it should be something like that(after you convert chars to nums)....
null
