Changing Axis data values in OBIEE 11g Graph

Hi ,
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?

Graph Data Labels in OBIEE 11g - Customizing

Hi folks!
Would somebody know how to select what is shown in graph data labels in OBIEE 11g?
For example in a scatter graph data label I'd like to show the Group only (not the combination of Series, Group, X and Y, as by default). For a pie chart one can select the data shown in data labels to some extent (name / value), however couldn't find this option for scatter graph.
After searching I could only find instructions for 10g - such as John's instructions at http://obiee101.blogspot.com.es/2008/01/obiee-xy-and-data-in-mouse-over-label.html.
However, my understanding is that the graph engine in OBIEE 11g is now different, and the 10g instructions are not valid for 11g anymore.
I was also having a look on the .cxml files in OBIEE 11g but those seem to relate to colors only?
Any help appreciated, best regards,
Ilmari

How to update the default date format in OBIEE 11G.

Hi All,
How to change the default date format in OBIEE 11g from the MM/DD to DD/MM. Could anyone please help me out ASAP?
Thanks,
Arpan

Hi Arpan
OBIEE 11g is having " localedefinitions.xml " file at this Location C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\display
in my case i installed at C:\Oracle\MIddleware.
so
1- Stop BI Server from EM
2- Navigate to this Location C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\display. in your case oracle home will be different
3- take a backup of this file localedefinitions.xml "
4- modify it and save
5- bring BI Server up.

How to change a date value from "java.util.Date" to "java.sql.Date"?

Hi all,

Thanks
but my sql statement can only accept the format (yyyy-MM-dd)
such as "select * from xx where somedate = '2004-12-31'
but when i show it to screen, i want to show it as dd-MM-yyyy
I m using the following to change the jave.util.Date to str and vice versa. But it cannot shows the dd-MM-yyyy. I tried to change the format from yyyy-MM-dd to dd-MM-yyyy, it shows the wrong date in my application.
     public String date2str(java.util.Date thisdate)     {
          if (thisdate != null)     {
               java.sql.Date thissDate = new java.sql.Date(thisdate.getTime());
               return date2str(thissDate);
          }     else     {

               return sdf.format(thisdate);
          }     else     {
               return "";
     public java.util.Date str2date(String thisdate)     {
          String dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"; // = 1998-12-31
          java.util.Date returndate = null;
          if (thisdate != null)     {
               SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat(dateFormat);
               try {
                    returndate = dateFormatter.parse(thisdate);
               } catch (ParseException pe) {

Oracle EBS Discoverer as a data source for OBIEE 11g

We are a heavy user of Discoverer workbooks with Oracle EBS. We're moving to OBIEE 11g(11.1.1.3) and have an RPD with both 3rd party and custom content.
I wanted to ask the experts here how I can leverage my Discoverer investment with out a lot of re-work in OBIEE. I briefly looked at the MigrateEUL.exe and it says it can move an EUL to an RPD, but talks about some limitations for complex EULs such as an EBS Apps EUL. Even if it created an RPD, I'm not sure how I can merge my current RPD and this newly gen'd RPD.
I also heard from someone that there is a way to setup Discoverer EUL as a standard data source in OBIEE 11g and consume it directly. I'm looking for a document or blog that explains these steps. Any pointers or experiences with the above is appreciated!!
Thanks.

Hi,
For some more details, you can refer to the following document;
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/discoverer/discoverer-metadata-conversion-assi-128504.pdf
My personal expreriences:
The Metadata Conversion Utility is an accellerator / assistant. It does not provide you with an end product. There is some additional handwork requiered. It could be a risk when you copy an old Oracle Discoverer environment. Shit in is shit out. Last but not least; There is not yet a workbook migration utility.

Saved VI file size changes when data is visible on a graph but not the default value

If a VI is saved when data is visible on a graph, the file size is larger; even though the default is set to be a blank graph. I have tested this in LabVIEW 8.6 and 2009. If you load the larger file, the graph is blank as expected. If this behavior is by design, it appears odd to me.
To duplicate the issue:
Create a blank VI.
Add a Sine Waveform VI and set the number of samples to 1,000,000.
Add a Waveform Graph VI that spans the entire monitor and connect it to the output of the Sine Waveform VI.
Save the VI and note the file size.
Run the VI.
Save the VI and compare the size to the original size.
The VI file size is larger.
In the Waveform Graph, select “Reinitialize to default value.
The VI file size returns to It’s original size.

Your obeservation is correct, and expected behavior.
This behavior is useful when you have inputs that you would like to set as defaults for the user.
Obviously, if there is a value to be saved, it will require some memory to store the value.
If the input is left empty by default, that memory is made available again.
It may not be easy to think of a good use for this for a graph, but think about for numeric or string controls.
What if the user isnt sure how they should input a certain parameter or value?
You could store a default value so they could see how they should input their value.

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

How to change the date value in FM SD_CUSTOMER_HIERARCHY_PATH

Hi,
I have one requirement while creating sales order the pricing herarchy should be
based on the date mentioned in the Delivery date. Generally the pricing hierarchy
happens based on system date.
So how to get the hierarchy based on the date mentioned in the delivery date ?
I analysed in debugging if I change the date field in debugging mode in the function module
SD_CUSTOMER_HIERARCHY_PATH then i am getting the pricing hierarchy based on the desired date
other then system date.
   CALL FUNCTION 'SD_CUSTOMER_HIERARCHY_PATH'
           EXPORTING
                CUSTOMER        = lvf_knvh_kunnr
                DATE            = SY-DATLO -
> Desired Date menioned
                HTYPE           = fif_hityp
                SALES_CHANNEL   = fis_sdorgdata-vtweg
                SALES_DIVISION = fis_sdorgdata-spart
                SALES_ORG       = fis_sdorgdata-vkorg
           IMPORTING
                CUSTOMER_HZUOR = lvf_customer_hizuor
           TABLES
                HPATH           = lvt_hierarchy_partners

                NODE_NOT_EXIST = 2
                PARVW_NOT_EXIST = 3
                OTHERS          = 4.
The Field for delivery date I mentioned is RV45A-KETDAT and this value is not appearing in this
position of function module.
Can any one have Idea to change the hierarchy based on the desired date other than system date.
Waiting for kind response.

Obiee 11g graph how to increase bar width

Hello,
obiee 11g: -> bar graph: how to increase bar width ?
Thank you,
Ark

Hi ,
Create your own bar code type rather than using system Bar Codes , if the length of your code doesn't fit with the standards available under SE73 . There you can define your own sizes as per your requirement , If you have a stands logic ,for example production order type Z001 should be in 15 lengthy code , then put a condition in the smart form to facilitate it , like wise you could use different lengthy bar codes in single form .
I hope this is what you meant by your treat.
Good Luck .

Date format in OBIEE 11g is changed.

Hi,
we have installed 11.1.1.5 on linux x86-64bit machine. after that we upgraded the OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 rpd and catalog to OBIEE 11.1.1.5.
everything was working fine at this stage.
After that we did some development in 10g ... and again upgraded the rpd and catalog to 11.1.1.5 using upgrade assistant.
but after that the date format in all the date prompts on the dashboards is changed to MM/dd/YYYY.
How to change it back to dd/MM/YYYY?

Hi Visal,
Please award points it is useful the above answer.
2. After installation the date format default : DD-MM-YYYY.
I am not sure, I think you need install patch file in this version on your server or you need to change ALTER SESSION set NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD/MM/YYYY'.
I though this is bug in server version.
What server its showing this format means(Unix,Linux,AIX)?
Award points it is useful.
Thanks,
Satya

OBIEE 11g-- Graph Data Display

Hi All,
I have been facing a big problem in making the report.
I need to display month wise bar chart (Sales Value), On top of the Bar i have to display the Amount in terms of Millions, I have achieved by using Custom Number format, but It is difficult for developing the reports since i have to give each and every time this condition.
My report is connected to Essbase ASO Cube,columns are
Region and Sales Amount.
So i have decided to call DB function which is common wherever I need amount in Millions just need to call but it is failed.
Is it possible ? or Is there any other to achieve the same.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Essbase ASO is different than a relational database so PL/SQL commands are not going to function with this.
You are likely going to have to change the number format on each report.

Changing axis data(other than time in x-aix)

requirement is to plot a graph with voltage in x-axis and counts in y-axis. I have formed a 2-d array and fed as input to graph.
Could you please guide me in changing the axes accordingly.

Thanks for the response
Ok, let me be more clear in my requirement.
sample data i want to plot:
Vol         Counts
16           16.25
22           63.25
I have attached the vi now and the graph displays 2 plots ( red and white). The white plot is the 1st col in the aray built ( vol value) and i am not sure what is the red plot and i want to change the graph properties in such a way that vol values are on X-axis and counts values are on Y-axis.
i am beginner in using labview, kindly bear with me...

Not able to save date column with custom date format. in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have migrated one report from OBIEE 10g to 11g. There is a date column with customized date format(i.e. Default format is 'dd-MMM-yyyy' and I have used 'MMM-yyyy').
But when I use this custom format and try to save the report in 11g its giving this below error.
''Catalog object privilege validation failed for user to path /shared/ALM BI/Finacial Results/History Income Statement Detail.
You do not currently have sufficient privileges to save a report or dashboard page that contains HTML markup.
This HTML might be present in column headings, table headings, text views, narrative views, the print header,

Please let me know what changes I need to do for this.
