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

If anyone Know tell me.

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.

Strange Error in OBIEE 11g

Hi Friends,
Currently, i was working in mapping feature in obiee 11g. For that i have added
<li>Necessary <spatial tags> in instanceconfig.xml file.
<li>Created a new datasource in the mapviewer and brought it to the online.
<li> After that i went into analytics page and under the Administration tab--->Manage Map Data-->Import Layers
<li> Soon after pressing it an import layers dialog box has to open, but instead of it for me the following error is occurring
There was an error with the server CallBecause of that, it is not allowing me to select layers. what may be the problem over here.
All izz Well

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.

Security service error in OBIEE 11G LDAP configuration

Hello
I've recently set up some OBIEE 11G installations and they appear to work ok.
I've more recently been using various guides on the internet to configure OBIEE 11G and Active Directory and can see the users and groups within Weblogic that belong the to the Provider that i've configured.
However, when I attempt to start up OPMN, it always gives me the error like the following:
<Jun 24, 2013 1:45:38 PM NZST> <Warning> <oracle.jps.idmgmt> <BEA-000000> <Requested Object Class (user)not found in cache.
oracle.security.idm.OperationFailureException: Requested Object Class (user)not found in cache.
<Jun 24, 2013 1:52:20 PM NZST> <Error> <oracle.bi.security.service> <OBI-SEC-00004> <Unable to initialize oracle.bi.security.service.SecurityWebService>
I initially had the User Object Class as User in the Provider configuration and noticed it wasn't in the LDAP directory so I tried changing it to a Object Class that did exist for one of the users but it made no difference. It still says the same error message even though I have no reference to User in the configuration.
Can anyone suggest something I might be doing wrong or missing?

I have followed the same configuration. However i am getting the following error when i try to login
Caused by: oracle.bi.security.service.SecurityServiceException: SecurityService::authenticateUserWithLanguage - '<LDAP user>' was authenticated but could not located within the Identity Store.
I guess some configuration issue, but cannot be able to spot the error. Please let me know your idea
Thanks

No script engine supported for 'JScript' error in OBIEE 11G ibots

Infrastructure: 64 bit OBIEE 11.1.1.5 on 64 bit Red-Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6
We tried using *.java to export the delivery content of an 'Agent' and place it in a shared folder on Windows.
We are able to use the .java file directly in putty and it works fine in creating a folder and copying the file from source to target, but when we put the same script as part of the actions in the 'Agent' properties, its fails with the error "[nQSError: 66023] No script engine supported for 'JScript'". The e-mail is triggered and the attachment is delivered fine.
We tried the same with a *.js file. The error is the same. I found people using *.js scripts and they say it worked for them at Re: How to send the content of an agent (PDF Report) to local machine in 11g
But I am not sure what are the other settings that should be done. The error seems very basic and fundamental and has something to do with java interpreter or something.
Any help if you have implemented the same, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

That example in the link shows creating an action at the end of 'Agent'. I am not sure if that is what the user meant by 'create an action'. If the user meant to create an 'action', how does and where we call that action at the end of an 'Agent'?
I did try creating an action by updating the 'UserScript.js' file, but the moment i update the file with a custom function, the server doesnot recognise the UserScript.js file anymore and i cannot even use the default functions in UserScript.js file.

Error starting OBIEE 11G coreapplications after loading new RPD file in EM

Hi,
After I have loaded my new RPD in EM, and restarting the BI coreapplications.
Basically the symptoms I am getting are very similar to this: https://kr.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2129556, I have tried removing other (sampleLIte RPDs) with no luck. Not sure what else I can do. The RPD's physical layer draws data from SQL Server. Have tested the system DSN and its ok.
Here is a screenshot of the Error: http://i.imgur.com/eDZBM2Z.png. Any help appreciated.
Using OBEE 11G in Windows 7.

Its weird.
As part of my own investigation, I went to physical layer and saw my SQL Server was set wrong. I set it to 2008 the correct version.
Also my ODBC was set at 3.5, I changed this to 2.0. After doing this I saved it and reloaded it onto EM and it all worked. Just to verify that this was indeed the root cause, I reverted the settings back to original and loaded it again. It works.
Not sure in the end what was the root cause.

Nqs error 59001: Binary logical operation error in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
Requirement: Need to calculate YTD for invoiced amount and Prior YTD for invoiced amount and last year total invoiced amount.
Logic we used: For YTD Invoiced amount we used “Year To Date” time series function in rpd.
For Prior YTD we used “Ago function on Calculated YTD column”.
For Last Year Invoiced amount we used “ CASE function and dynamic variables” as:
CASE WHEN year=valueOf(previous_year) THEN invoiced_amount END;
Now, when I’m creating a report, I’m getting the following error as:
*[nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 59001] Binary Logical operation is not permitted on VARBINARY, INTEGER operand(s). (HY000)*
Please help me to solve this, i need to release the instance by EOD

Hi,
As per my understanding the ValueOf(previous_year) is double precesion so it wont allow to use binary logical operator.Change to integer becos we can manage year with interger data type.
[nQSError: 59001] Binary Logical operation is not permitted on DOUBLE PRECISION, VARBINARY operand(s).

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?
Thanks,

Hi Prasanna,
Can you try paasing the varchar values with single quote.

How to make a spreadsheet column-formula with relative cell addresses?

I'm trying to make a spreadsheet compute with relative cell addresses. I tried what's on the help page, and it doesn't work.
What I’m attempting is to make one column contain the differences of another column, like,
Gn=Fn-F(n-1)
to apply to the entire G column, without typing (or even pasting) 100s of individual formulas. As an added bonus, I'd like for the invalid cell address resulting from n=1, to be defaulted to 0.
How to do this???

Another way to move the relative formula to other cells:
Select the cell with the formula, use the little handle in the center of the side (it appears when you move your pointer there). In the picture it is in the center of the bottom side. Drag that handle downward, this copies the formula into the cells you include in the drag. You can also do this upward, leftward, rightward by selecting one of the other sides.
