Changes to be done in OBIEE 11g with respect to database change

Hi,
Our database has been SHIFTED to new system and got new tnsnames details(hostname, service name etc). What changes do i need to do with respect to the new shifted database in obiee 11g application so that I can connect to the database with same repository with out losing my previous data.
The things I have done:
1.Copied the new tnsnames file to oracleBI1\network\admin
2.Created the new DSN with respect to new databse service name.
Thanks

Hi raj,
You are going in the right direction.Are you facing any problem after executing these steps?
After copying the tns file to the location,instead of creating new DSN name you can associate the old DSN name by editing it and changing the required fields and credentials and test it then your done.
UPDATED POST
It is clearly saying that listener is not reading the DB,so go to the DB where it is installed and check if TNS name related to new database is added and the corresponding listerner is added to listner.ora file for the new DB.
It will locate at DB installed for example c:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_1\network\admin\listener.ora
If needed paste the listner at the BI path where you have pasted your TNS name.
UPDATED POST-2
DSN is not reading the DB name that is what the error is saying so that is the reason you are not able to start the services.....create a new DSN and give a try at it.
Hope helps you.
Cheers,
KK

What needs to be done in OBIEE 11g when underlying data types change?

I have an SQL table that I am referencing. It contains several date fields that were varchar(8). In order to do calculations, I just cast the fields as date, and performed my calculation.
Recently, the DBA changed the fields to date type.
I did a "View Data" and "Update row count", but it seems as if OBIEE is still treating the fields as varchar fields.
What is the proper procedure in OBIEE 11g to recognize the changes that occurred in the underlying table?

Hi
In your scenario, I can suggest you can change manually to each field lengths in physical layer.
If you really looking one time fix then try to import the new table stricture into new rpd then save it then try to merge original rpd . – But it is risky process ( We have two methods, patch merge and fully repository merge).
Before doing above method take the backup original rpd and do it in your local.

Sum Aggregation Error in Physical & BMM Layer in OBIEE 11g with Essbase 11

Hi everyone,
I'm using OBIEE 11g with Essbase 11 as the data source. I'm using Sample Basic database from the Essbase as my data source. If I'm using the hierarchy for the measures (so I don't flatten the measures), and when I changed the aggregation in both physical and BMM layer from Aggregate_External to Sum, I can't create a report at all from the Answers.
Does anyone encounter the same thing? Any ideas/solution about this? Please help.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Deepak,
When I picked the "Basic - measure" alone, I got this error.
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
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: 96002] Essbase Error: Unknown Member Basic - measure used in query (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT 0 s_0, "Sample Basic"."Basic"."Basic - measure" s_1 FROM "Sample Basic".
When I picked the "Gen1,Measures" alone from the measure dimension, I got this error:
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.

SQL Issued: SELECT 0 s_0, "Sample Basic"."Measures"."Gen1,Measures" s_1, SORTKEY("Sample Basic"."Measures"."Gen1,Measures") s_2 FROM "Sample Basic"
But when I queried the dimensions one by one (only single dimension each), no error was shown.
This only happens if I use Sum in the physical and BMM layer. If I use External_Aggregation, these errors do not happen. And if I flatten the measures, these errors also do not happen.

Obiee 11g How to let user change password

obiee 11g How to let user change password ？
i not mean use weblogic console。 normal user how to change password。

With 11g, OBIEE essentially uses the 10g notion of external authentication.
By default, this is done by the WLS (Weblogic) LDAP identity store, but it may be done by another supported Authenticator either within WLS, or in the OBIS meta data (i.e. Custom Authenticator or LDAP). As such, OBIEE no longer has any control over user passwords; this is why the steps referenced in note 1102353.1 do not apply to OBIEE 11g, but only to internal/repository-defined users in OBIEE 10g.
So, as with password maintenance in OBIEE 10g when an external authenticator is used, it is within that external authentication system that password is changed, not within OBIEE 11g. There is no option in OBIEE 11g to allow users to change passwords.
There are two work-arounds with which you can change your password:
1) From the Weblogic administration console/WLST.
You need to give such user access into Weblogic console or access to browse through involved MBean hierarchy and other modify permissions. Changing the password using WLST instance is covered here:
Ideally, the console and WLST approaches are used by Administration accounts to manage other users. But the console and WLST can be made to allow other users to change passwords (which will be more or less like carrying out an administrative task by users themselves)
2) Using a programmatic approach.
Here the application that intends to provide password change functionality to its users should implement this functionality on its own (GUI plus call to the relevant Weblogic API). Weblogic provides an MBean that the application can use to accomplish this. See here for more information.
An enhancement request exists for this functionality. This is unpublished bug 11836170 - enable non admin users to change passwords in obiee 11g.

OBIEE 11G with MySql Issue Hierarchy is not working..

Hi,
i am using the OBIEE 11G with MySQL DB. i have sucessfully created the RPD. i created the Hierarchy in the RPD. this is the scerario i have created.
i have only one data column created_at. by using this column i create 3 more logical logical columns, which are Year,Month Name,Week and created Hierarchy by taking the these columns only.
when i am viewing the result by taking the hierarchy it throwing the error systax error"ou have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version".
but we selecting the year column it successfully nagvigating to the month level data but when selecting the Hierarchy directly it is unable to navigate from year to month.
please provide me the solution for this as soon as possbile i have an urgent requirement on this.
Thanks,
Yogi.

Hi,
Thanks for you post..
My Requriement is that we no need to create new columns we need to necessary columns in BMM layer only and we need to use them in Hierarchy.
Thanks,
Yogi.

OBIEE 11g "WITH SAWITH0 AS" subquery factoring clause in the generated sql

I've observed that the OBIEE 11g generates in the query log physical query using the WITH (sub-query factoring) clause to make the generated sql elegantly readable. This is great! Thanks for the developers. However I have some questions about this.
__Background__
Oracle Database' default behaviour is that if you have only one sub-query in the WITH section, it executes it as an in-line view and does not materialize it before the main sql is executed. If you have more than one, by default the database engine materializes all of them in the order of the definition. In some cases this can completely blow up the SGA and make the query never ending. To divert this behaviour you can apply two hints that work both in inline views and in sub-queries as well: /*+ MATERIALIZE */ and /*+ INLINE*/, however Analytics 11g does not seem to have hint capabilities at the logical table level, only at physical table level.
If we go with the current defaults, developers not aware of this feature can bump into serious performance issues for the sake of some syntax candy at the generated sql level, I'm afraid.
__Questions__
* Is it possible to turn the Analytics server not to use WITH but use inline views instead?
* Is there any way to sneak in some hints that would put the /*+ INLINE */ hint to the appropriate place in the generated sub-queries if needed
* Does the Oracle Database have any initialization parameter that can influence this sub-query factoring behavior and divert from the default?

The WITH statement is not added to make the query more elegant, it's added for performance reasons. If your queries take long to run then you may have a design issue. In a typical DWH DB SGA needs to be seriously increased since the queries ran are much larger and complex than on an OLTP DB. In any case you can disable the WITH statement in the Admin Tool by double clicking on your database object on the physical layer and going to the Features tab. The feature is called WITH_CLAUSE_SUPPORTED.

Changes to NQSCONFIG.INI in obiee 11g is not working???

I modified NQSCONFIG.INI in obiee 11g and restarted BI services but what ever changes I did are gone. how can I modify NQSCONFIG.INI OR INSTANCECONFIG.XML files?

As per documentation: e10541
A.1.1 How to Update Parameters in NQSConfig.INI
The following procedure explains how to update parameters in NQSConfig.INI.
To update parameters in NQSConfig.INI:
Open the NQSConfig.INI file in a text editor. You can find this file at:
ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OracleBIServerComponent/coreapplication_obisn
Make a backup copy of the file before editing.
Locate and update the parameter you want to change.
Save and close the file.
Restart the Oracle BI Server. For more information, see Section 4.1, "About Starting and Stopping Oracle Business Intelligence."
If you have multiple Oracle BI Server instances, then repeat these steps in each NQSConfig.INI file for all Oracle BI Server instances.

I have a graph with three dimensions and a single measure . So , on x axis I am getting the values with two dimensions like
Customer1 2013
Customer1 2012
Customer1 2011
I want to change it to Customer1 only . Can anybody suggest how can we change this.

Why don't you just remove the Year dimension from the "Group By (Horizontal Axis)" section?

OBIEE 11g caching question - cross database joins

Hi, I'm seeing something strange (a.k.a. not wanted) in OBIEE (11g, not sure that version matters).
I have a simple data mart that contains spend information. The supplier dimension contains keys that can be used to join it to detailed supplier information and supplier address information in our ERP system (that sits in a different database / on a different box). In the OBIEE physical layer I've created a cross database join between the supplier dimension table and the ERP tables that contain the address info.
Here's the odd behavior I'm seeing. If I write an answers request to select the supplier, some address info, and total spend for fiscal year 2010, I'm seeing OBIEE fire off two queries (this I expect):
A) Select supplier, address key, and total spend for fiscal year = 2010 against the spend mart
B) select address_key and associated address info against the ERP system (no limit on this query, it pulls back all rows from the address table)
OBIEE then does an internal join itself and serves up the results, everything is correct. But here's what's "wrong" - if I then run the exact same answers request, but change the fiscal year to 2009, I again see OBIEE firing off the two queries. What I expected and/or want to see is that, since the entire result set from query #B doesn't change at all, that it wouldn't have to rerun this query. However, it seems to be.
Is there any way to get #B to cache so that, for any subsequent query that contains supplier address info, OBIEE can pull it from cache instead of rerunning the query (which is pretty slow)? I really thought it would do that, but it doesn't seem to be.
Thanks!

Hi,
Could you give a bit more of context for this case? The table in SQL server; Is it a dimension and the one in Oracle DB is a fact? I am guessing, you have set up the driving table here. Have you given a try taking it off, and let BI Server do the filter in memory?

Reg: If changes done in SAP BO Analysis office, then Changes can be done in SAP BW in respective targets. But, is it possible to do the same changes in SAP ECC? How?

Hello Everyone,
If any changes are done in SAP BO Analysis office, then the change can be done in the SAP BW in the respective Targets.
But how can we do the changes in the SAP ECC ? Is it possible to do the changes in the tables ?
Any answer is appreciable
Regards,

We are using the "Input ready Bex query", in order to modify the values in "BO Analysis office".

                                                                        | (Now Data is changed in Analysis office from 1 to 2)
                                                                        |

(Will it be updated in ECC)
(Diagram Explanation)
From ECC we can load the data (Consider Value-1) to SAP BI and from SAP BI we can load the data to BO analysis office.
So, now if we change the data in BO Analysis office (Value-1 changed to Value-2)..
Now the data is changed in SAP BI to Value-2.
So what about the data in ECC ? Whether it is changed or not?
Please provide us a real time business Scenario..

Changing a field type in OBIEE 11g

Hello. I am new here, and new to OBIEE. I have read some of the tutorials and created a repository, but will not get formal training through Oracle until next week.
I have a simple request from a user that I need to do, and I am not sure how to do it.
Background:
There is a field, COUNTER1, in my physical layer that is Char(9).
In the BMM layer, the field gets counted, so it becomes HEADCOUNT and gets defined as COUNT(COUNTER1), and it is an INT field.
Same in Presentation Layer.
The user wants to be able to see decimals, so I need to change it to a DOUBLE type field.
My Question:
Can I simply change the field type from INT to DOUBLE in the Presentation and/or BMM layers, or is it more involved than that?
Thank you for any help that you can provide.

Create new logical column in BMM and in column source tab check the option "Derived from existing columns using an expression" in the expression use below formula
1.0d * COUNTER1 --> It converst to double automatically
where counter1 is count(physical_column) which is int

OBIEE 11g with BI Apps EBS: How to load Product Hierarchy?

Hi Gurus,
We are implementing BI Apps 7.9.6.3 [OBIEE 11.1.1.1.5 with EBS modules].
We implemented all configurations and mappings in Informatica. But after loading full ETL. All Product Hierarchy showing null.
Currently we are investigating this. Can anyone with experience point us out what are the possible places to look for?
Is it something that we should configure SDE_Universal_ProductDimension from SDE_Universal_Adaptor. Currently this is not configured.
Any clue will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Sudipta

No you dont need to touch any of the "Universal" mappings.
Check this Metalink note:
Product Hierarchy is not populated in OBIA 7.9.6 with EBS R12.1.1 as the source [ID 1110185.1]

CC - Objects randomly change when resized, don't center correctly with align panel

I'm not sure how clear these photos are, but here's what's happening.
I make a compound object, then when I resize it, it moves anchors around. Note the corners on the 3rd "8" -- they're pinched together. This is happening on a lot of different object
Edit: There are no "snaps" enabled.
Here are some better examples

xHeight,
It sounds af if you are haunted by the Align to Pixel grid ghost.
You may select your object/everything and untick it in the Transform palette; and you may untick Align New Objects to Pixel Grid in the Options.
