Chinese Data in OBIEE Chart Reports

Hello All,
I'm facing an issue with OBIEE Chart report . We have some data as Chinese in database.
When displaying these on OBIEE Chart , it is shown as boxes.
This is happening only with OBIEE Charts . Looks like chinese characters are not supported by OBIEE Charts.
Please let me know if there is a way to fix this.

Printing Chinese Date format using Oracle Reports

Hi ,
I need to print the date as for e.g, 2006 4 12 (Year Month and Day) with a chinese character after each of the three components, representing the year, Month and Day.
When running the report with the format mask as RRRR Mon DD, I get the chinese character for the Month component and not for the year and day. I tried with different format masks available and also tried with somehting which is not in list as well. But, I couldn't get the intended format.
Is there anyone who has done this before? If so, pl. let me know the way to get this done.
regards,
tilak

Hi Olga,
If the Date in the database is date (not datetime) means you cannot use a DD-MON-RR HH:MI:SS in your reports.
If you want to show date with time means, change the properties in Oracle Forms of that date field and assign datetime as datatype.
So that the value inserted to the field will become datetime. and automatically if you use this column in your report you will get date along with time.
Hope this clears...

Filter value based on Date in OBIEE 11g, Reporting Issue

Hi,
I have following tables
Dim_Item
Dim_Loc
Fact_Price-Item_Key,Loc_Key,Date_Key,Reason_Code,Amount,Load_date
Reason Code is the code which discribes the reson behind price change
Amount- price of Item at particular location (Note: one item can have different price at different location)
Load Date - When ever there is price change for a particular item at particular location new record is inserted in the fact load date represents the date on which the data is updated
Item_key Loc_key Date_key Reason_Code Amount Load_Date
1                  1        20131113                  0          1400    13/11/2013
1                  1        20131115                  6          1100    15/11/2013
2                  1        20131112                  0          900      12/11/2013
2                  2        20131112                  0          1200    12/11/2013
2                  2        20131113                  3          325      13/11/2013
My report requirement is
Report should show only the Item & location for which there is price change
Report should be like
Item Loc Orignal_Amt Changed_Amt
1       1         1400           1100
2       2         1200            325
I have tried to calculate Orignal_Amt by taking Min(Load_Date) & Changed_Amt by taking Max(Load_Date) but result is not correct
I need to min(Load_Date) or max(load_date) for an Item at particular location
i.e it should be like min(load_date by item_key,loc_key)
max(load_date by item_key,loc_key)
then I can filter out Amount based on this min & max value.
How can I achive this, is there any other approach to achive this
Thanks
Sameer

Hi,
Does this approach with comparing prices in the first and last date of the period actually indicates the price change?
What about the sample data below - is considered to be a price change or not?
Item_key Loc_key Date_key Reason_Code Amount Load_Date
2                  2        20131110                  0          325     12/11/2013
2                  2        20131111                  0          1100    12/11/2013
2                  2        20131112                  0          1200    12/11/2013
2                  2        20131113                  3          325      13/11/2013
Option #1:
Use 2 requests:
Req1 selects surrogate key for the first and last record by load date for each location and product. Surrogate key is just a concatenated expression of Item_Key, Loc_Key and Load_Date fields (use separators between them).
For this request you need to filter out all other dates but first and last - use Rank function with BY clause. It will be 2 calculated fields: RANK(Date_Load BY Item_Key, Loc_Key) = last date, RANK(-Date_Load BY Item_Key, Loc_Key) = first date. Select records having any of these ranks=1.
In result this request should return up to 2 records for each product-location combination with surrogate key, something like this for my example:
Item_key Loc_key Date_key Reason_Code Amount Load_Date          KEY
2                  2        20131110                  0          325     12/11/2013      LOC:2;ITM:2;DT:20131110
2                  2        20131113                  3          325      13/11/2013     LOC:2;ITM:2;DT:20131113
In fact, it could be more than 2 records in case there are more than 1 change in a day for the price and no time stored on date field. This is up to you how to eliminate duplicates.
Now you have another request, resulting one, which is filtered by Req1 using the same surrogate key expression. Orignal_Amt =Min(Amount), Change_Amt = Max(Amount). Apply a filter to find records with different values between them.
In result, if product price is the same in the beginning and end of period (or it is single record) - these records will be filtered out, otherwise you get them in the report.
Option #2:
Play around with logical SQL under Advanced tab, it allows you to write requests with joins (as regular SQL does).
This is sort of desperate option as such an analysis is hard to maintain (make modifications to it).

Chart report Condition fields and Data fields

Hi all,
i have tried chart report by adding two condion fields and one data field, the report is more meaning full in this scenario. the first condition field is taken as x-axis, the 2nd condition fields is taken as legend.
while adding more condition fields and data fields, i feel its not showing meaningfull data.
can anyone explain how the condition fields and data fileds are manipulated by crystal report.
i am using CR XI R2 Server.
Thanks
Padmanaban V

i am using Crystal Report XI R2 RAS Embedded in my server.
as we can add any number condition fields programatically using the method
ConditionField.Add(FieldObj), i would like to know how these fields are manipulated internally by the RAS server.
that means, what is the significance of condition fieldobject 1, condition fieldobject 2,condition fieldobject 3 etc...
if i add more than two condition fields , RAS Chart Report always returns 0 as legend value for all legends.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Padmanaban V

OBIEE 11g Report UI not showing data

Hi,
On Obiee 11g Report, the query hit by the report at the backend shows results for all the columns but on UI only few of these columns show the data. From Query log, when I run the same query in the database I see all columns have data which is somehow not showing up on the UI end. What could be the problem? Can this be resolved or is it a bug in the OBIEE 11g?
Regards
VM

ToolTip in OBIEE 11G Reports when we hover on its data!!

Hello gurus,
I have a requirement where I have to display ToolTip in OBIEE 11G reports when one hovers on its data. For example, If I have a column in a report which displays "serial no." say the data in column is 1,2,3,4,5 etc. when I hover on 1, it should display name corresponding to it. when I hover on 2, it should display another name.
These values which will be displayed on hover action can be hardcoded, they are static values.
Thanks in advance !!

Hi User,
Try this , Goto Column Properties of a particular Column ->Data Format->Check mark "Override Default Data Format" and select

Essbase data crossjoin error in OBIEE analysis report

Hi all,
Anyone got the following error in OBIEE analysis report:
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: 96002] Essbase Error: Syntax error in input MDX query on line 13 at token 'crossjoin' (HY000)
The OBIEE version is 11.1.1.6.2
Data is from Essbase Cube, version 11.1.2
The report is a simple cross tab table and we added 'After' aggregation to show grand total.
The error show up when we drill down on dimension, click '+'.
However, if I remove the 'After' aggregation. There is no error at all
Thank you

Hi veeravalli,
Thank you for you reply. I got it.
However, any idea to solve the issue?
I tried to do it in RPD by case when,
e.g. Acutal Sales: case when scenario='Actual' then salesamount end
Budget Sales: case when scenario='Budget' then salesamount end
Actual/Budget%: (Actual Sales/Budget Sales) *100
So there is no error, Actual Sales and Budget Sales are correct, but Actual/Budget % shows nothing in report
Thanks.

What is the best way to create a SSRS 2005 Line Chart Report for a 12 month period?

I'm looking for advice on how to create a SQL Server 2005 query and line chart report for SSRS 2005.
I need to display the peak number of patients assigned to a medical practice each month for a 12 month period based on the end-user selecting a
single month and year.
I've previously created a report that displays all patients assigned to the practice for any single month but I’m looking for advice on how to
how to produce a resultset that shows the peak number of patients each month for a 12 month period. I thought about creating a query that returns the peak count for each month (based on my previously created report which displays all patients assigned to the
practice for any single month) and then use a UNION statement to join all 12 months but I'm sure that isn't the most efficient way to do this. The other challenge with this approach (twelve resultsets combined via a UNION) is that the end-user needs to be
able to select any month and year for the parameter and the report needs to display the 12 month period based on the month selected (the month selected would be the last month of the 12 month period).
For the report I’ve previously created that displays all patients assigned to the practice for any single month, the WHERE statement filters the
resultset on two fields:
Start Date - The date the patient was assigned to the practice. This field is never null or blank.
End Date - The date the patient left the practice. This field can be null or blank as active patients assigned to the practice do not have an End Date. When the patient
leaves the practice, the date the patient left is populated in this field.
Using these two fields I can return all patients assigned to the practice during Nov 2012 by looking for patients that meet the following criteria:
start date prior to 11/30/2012 (using the last day of the month selected ensures patients added mid-month would be included)
AND
end date is null or blank (indicates the patient is active) OR the end date is between 11/1/2012 -11/30/2012 (returns patients that leave during the month
selected)
Regarding the query I need to create for the report that displays the peak count each month for 12 months, I'm looking for advice on
how to count patients for each month the patient is assigned to the practice if the patient has been assigned for several months (which applies to most patients). Examples are:
John Doe has a start date of 6/01/2012 and an End Date of 10/07/2012
Sally Doe has a start date of 8/4/2012 and no End Date (the patient is still active)
Jimmy Doe has a  start of 7/3/2012 and an End Date of 9/2/2012
Given these examples how would I include John Doe in the peak monthly count each month for May - October, Sally Doe in the peak monthly count for
August - December and Jimmy Doe in the peak monthly count for July – Sept if the end-user running the report selected December 2012 as the parameter?
Given the example above and the fact I'm creating a line chart I think the best way to create this report would be a resultset that looks like
this:
Patient Name
Months Assigned
John Doe
June 2012
John Doe
July012
John Doe
Aug 2012
John Doe
Sept 2012
John Doe
Oct 2012
Sally Doe
Aug 2012
Sally Doe
Sept 2012
Sally Doe
Oct 2012
Sally Doe
Nov 2012
Sally Doe
Dec 2012
Jimmy Doe
July 2012
Jimmy Doe
Aug 2012
Jimmy Doe
Sept 2012
From the resultset above I could create another resultset that would count\group on month and year to return the peak count for each month:
June 2012 - 1
July 2012 – 2
Aug 2012 - 3
Sept 2012 - 3
Oct 2012 - 2
Nov 2012 - 1
Dec 2012 - 1
The resultset that displays the peak count for each month would be used to create the line chart (month would be the X axis and the count would
be the y axis).
Does this sound like the best approach?
If so, any advice on how to create the resultset that lists each patient and each month they were assigned to the practice would be greatly appreciated.
I do not have permissions to create SPs or Functions within the database but I can create temp tables.
I know how to create the peak monthly count query (derived from the query that lists each patient and month assigned) as well as the line chart.
Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the replies. I reviewed them shortly after they were submitted but I'm also working on other projects at the same time (hence the delayed reply).
Building a time table and doing a cross join to my original resultset gave me the desired resultset of the months assigned between dates. What I can't figure out now is how to filter months I don't want.
Doing a cross join between my original resultset that had two dates:
08/27/2010
10/24/2011
and a calendar table that has 24 rows (each month for a two year period)
my new resultset looks like this:
I need to filter the rows in yellow as the months assigned for stage 3 that started on 8/27/2010 should stop when the patient was assigned to stage 4 on 10/24/2011.
You'll notice that Jan - Sept 2011 isn't listed for Stage 4 assigned on 10/24/2011 as I included a filter in the WHERE clause that states
the Months Assigned value must be greater than or equal to the date assigned value.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Using Web Service as Data source (Pluggable Data Source) in Oracle Reports

Anyone using Webservice as a pluggable data source in oracle 10g reports.(Report builder version:10.1.2.0.2)? We need to be able to use web service as one of the data source to create reports.Tried the following and ran into issues:
Imported the wspds.jar fle from oracle plugin exchage. When tried using it received the following error in oracle reports trace file.
04/26 22:27:22 java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.xml.parser.schema.XSDBuilder.build([Loracle/xml/parser/v2/XMLDocument;Ljava/net/URL;)Ljava/lang/Object;
By troubleshooting issue found out that xmlparserv2.jar in 10g is newer than xmlparserv2.jar in 9i. wspds.jar is using xmlparserv2.jar in 9i as it was developed and tested for 9i only. Believe there is no newer wspds.jar file developed specifically for 10g?
Is there a better/standard solution to use webservice as data source in oracle 10g reports? Does later version of oracle reports supports webservice as a data source without any additional plugins? Any suggestion would be helpful.

Please provide support for the above request.
It appears that Oracle 10g reports doesn't support Web Service as pluggable data source. Is this option is available in Oracle 11g Reports or Oracle Discoverer Or OBIEE?

Chinese Data Fields not displaying Chinese Characters

Hi There,
Wonder if someone can help. We are currently running reports in Crystal 8.5 but are in the process of upgrading our business systems to latest version and this includes converting all our Crystal 8.5 reports to Crystal Reports XI R2 SP4.
During the process we are experiencing some difficulties in displaying Chinese characters, which have previously worked fine in version 8.5. The system we are running Crystal from has Oracle client 11 installed and the OS system locale is set to Chinese PRC. Our application is displaying Chinese characters properly and if we have any text fields on the report, these are also displaying properly when changing Font to Arial Unicode MS. The only thing that doesn't display properly is the field data which after checking has the correct Chinese data stored in the database. For some reason Crystal 11.5 doesn't seem to be transferring the data correctly which points to some sort of encoding problem.
Is there something I am missing here or is there something else I need to install for this to work?
Any hep would be appreciated.

What is your Oracle database's language set? Is it set to UTF-8 or non UTF-8 (such as American_America.WE8ISO8859P1" )?
There is a similar issue tracked under ID ADAPT00528561 (Crystal cannot display non-UTF-8 Chinese characters from an Oracle database ) and has been fixed and you should set the following registry key to make it effective:
Set the following registry key "UseOSLocaleForConversion" to "Yes" under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\Database\Oracle
