Columns in Admin Tool are re-ordering

Not sure what is causing this but it might be related to my Logical dimension-fact table relationships.
I will order columns in the Presentation layer or the BI Administrator Tool within folders and randomly the columns will re-organize and be sorted in a different order. I can go into the folder and re-sort them but at a later time they will sort themselves again, usually putting columns from dimensions at the top and my fact table columns underneath.
Any ideas of what could cause this? It's rather annoying and seems like a bug that should be fixed.
OBIEE 11.1.1.6.1 on Windows Server 2003 (64-bit)
(We haven't yet applied BP1 and I want to see if this is fixed in the patch)

Thank you :)
This did solve my problem of columns getting re-ordered in my JTable.
But i am facing one more problem now :(
I sort my JTable by clicking on the JTableHeader.
Clicking on the column header of any one of the columns of the JTable, sorts all entries in either ascending or descending order.
This is not happening.:(
Can someone please help me out?
Thanx in advance :)

Add new Column in Admin Tool including SQL Code

Hi all,
I'm new at OBIEE and I already searched here in forum but didn't found an exact answer what could help me.
I have a table in Warehouse where I get the employee information. That is employee_id, manager_id and name.
Example:
Employee_ID Manager_ID Name
1 Mueller
2 1 Meier
Now I would like to create a new column in BI Admin Tool Business Mapping Layer and add a SQL there to select the name of the Manager.
Is that possible? And how can we do it? Will it work with a new logical column? Where can we add the SQL Code?
Hope somebody can answer my question!
Thanks a lot!
Regards,
David

Hi Alastair,
thanks for your answer. Unfortunately it was not exactly the answer to my question. I try to explain it again.
In phyiscal layer I have the table with Employee_ID, Manager_ID and Name. That I already draged to BMM.
Like I wrote before here is the example again:
Employee_ID: 1
Manager_ID: NULL
Name: Mueller
Employee_ID: 2
Manager_ID: 1
Name: Meier
If I create a report in Answers then it will show the following:
Name: Mueller
Manager: NULL
Name: Meier
Manager: 1
Instead of 1 (the manager ID) I would like to display the Manager Name. In this Example Mueller should be displayed as manager of Employee Meier.
To do this I think I need a query like "select name from TABLE where employee_id = manager_id"
My question is now: How can I create this logic in BMM? I don't want to do this in Answers.
I think there should be a possibility. My idea is to add a new logical column in BMM and add the SQL Code there. But I don't know how I can add the SQL and where I have to add it.
Please help me to solve that issue.
Thanks!

Itunes and Admin tool do not see Airport on Windows XP

I tried to make an airport express work with my IBM T42P laptop with Windows XP work.
Neither the Airport Admin utility or Itunes detect the Airport Express. The strange thing though is, that I can see it in the wireless connections. I can even connect to it and use the network, ping the airport express etc... Didn't tryout routing, but connecting to another computer on the network works fine also... But still, Airpot Admin utility and Itunes cannot see anything.
The Airport Setup Assistant lists the airport, but times-out and cannot connect to it.
Tried to connect from another laptop and everything worked fine, so I figured maybe it's a problem with the builtin wi-fi on the t42. Tried the wifi card from the working laptop on the t42 and still same problem.
The Windows XP is with SP2.
Checked Wireless Zero Configuration Service version numbers: All are 5.1.2600.2180
The firewall has port 5353 UDP open. Additionally itunes and the admin tool are added to the firewall - also tried to stop the firewall service.
From the other laptop flashed the Airport Express with firmware-upgrade and upgraded airport express software on th t42.
Tried to switch of QOS and other services in the network settings.
At some point, tried to connect through ethernet and couldn't see the Airport. Could have been a problem with the rest of the network though. Connecting through the admin tool when choosing other and providing the ip-address of the airport is possible, but doesn't help itunes...
Nothing helped, so to summarize:
On the old T20 with Windows 2000 everything works fine.
The T42 can wifi-connect to the network, but neither itunes nor admin-utility can see the thing. The Airport Setup Assistant lists the airport, but times-out and cannot connect to it. Can't "Identify" either.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thomas

To eliminate connectivity issues - cable the PC's ethernet port directly to the ethernet port of the Airport Express. If the Airport Admin Utility fails to list your Airport Express...
I know you said you stopped the firewall service... but the problem you are having is, in the vast majority of cases, because there is indeed still a firewall running on the PC - either the one built into Windows XP, and/or the one provided by third-party software, and/or the one installed by VPN client software.

OS X 10.4.7 Admin Tool Won't Installing

I recently bought an Intel iMac and tried downloading and installing 10.4.7 Server Admin Tools on it but evertime I go through the process it keeps coming back saying it could not be installed for 'some unknown reason'. I'm running Leopard on the iMac but need to run Admin Tools communicating with my server running Tiger. Is there a conflict here that Leopard won't run any app designed for Tiger? I wouldn't think so as how can I install Leopard Admin Tools when my server is running OS X Server 10.4.10?

Here is the exact thread if any one still has problems:
'Download the Server Admin Tools 10.4.7 and open the disk image file. Go to the folder Administration Tools/Installers/Packages and select ServerAdminTools.pkg. Control click on the .pkg and select "Show Package Contents." You will see inside Contents folder "Archive.pax.gz." Drag the file to your desktop and double click to decompress it (Mac will do it automatically). Once it's been open you will see an Archive folder and inside you will see an Applications folder where all the 10.4.7 Admin Tools are. Just drag the tools to your Applications folder and your done.'
I cam confirm that OS X 10.4.7 Amin Tools are now working perfectly on my Leopard OS.

Server Admin Tools 10.6.3 Won't Install

Each of the Snow Leopard Servers I administer will not install the latest Server Admin Tools 10.6.3. On each server, I'm running 10.6.3 but the Admin Tools installer does not recognize that I'm running OS X Server - it won't install on any of the server volumes.
Server Admin Tools are in /Applications/Server and all updates are in place.
Apple, what gives?

Chris-
If your server is running 10.6.3 you don't need to install or update the Admin Tools: you already have the up-to-date Admin Tools. The 10.6.3 Admin Tools installer is for installing or updating the Tools on a non-server Mac.

Portal Admin Tool & order of Authentication Providers

For our app, we use two LDAP authentication providers that point to different LDAP
repositories.
Both of them have been configured to have the JAAS flag - OPTIONAL. When the order
is ProviderA and ProviderB (in WLS Console), the authentication works in Portal
Admin Tool. But when the order is reversed to ProviderB and ProviderA, it throws
profileNotFound error and the Portal Admin Tool bombs.
Since both of the providers have been configured to OPTIONAL, shouldn't the order
of the providers be immaterial?
Is this a problem with the Portal Administration Tool?
Thanks,
James

Is this a different problem, then? The ProfileNotFound exception comes only
after
authentication succeeds. If you are on SP2, it makes me wonder if the
credentials
for weblogic are in both providers and are different (different password)?
Also, can you tell me which authorizer and role mapper providers you are
using?

Phil,
We are on SP2. The problem I am having is, the weblogic admin user -weblogic
- is not able to authenticate in Portal Admin Tool depending upon theorder of
the providers.
I thought the authentication for Multiple providers should work in SP2,irrespective
of the order.
I read about the users/groups page works only for the first auth provider.
James
"Phil Griffin" <BEA> wrote:
You're right, the order should be immaterial. The problem is the
portal admin tools (and runtime profile location) rely on a
userExists() call succeeding against a single (default) ATN provider.
There is a number of ways to specify which provider this is - see Javadoc
for getProviderMBean for a description.
http://edocs.bea.com/wlp/docs81/javadoc/com/bea/p13n/usermgmt/RealmHelper.h

Better yet, SP2 includes a fix which automatically allows all providers
to
be
checked. The Portal Admin tools still only operate against a singledefault
provider
(to edit users/groups), until SP3.

Writeback issue - Admin tool question

I'm trying to configure writeback per pg 90 of the BI Presentation Service Admin Guide. I am having an issue on the steps related to the Admin tool. I created a new table, set up the connection pool and made the table noncacheable.
Can someone explain in detail the steps I need to take to add this table in the logical and presentation layers? I dragged this table into my logical fact table and then to my presentation layer. No rpd warnings or errors, but am I missing a step? Do I need to create any physical/logical joins?
When I create my report in Answers, I get the following error.
Error Details
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 14026] Unable to navigate requested expression: Dim - Employee.Employee Name. Please fix the metadata consistency warnings. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT Employee."Employee Name" saw_0, Employee."Employee Number" saw_1, Facts.Comment saw_2, "Employee Expense Facts"."Total Expense" saw_3 FROM "Employee Expenses" ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1, saw_2

I am able to view the results before adding the column I want for writeback.
I tried making the change you suggested.
1. already done
2. already done
3. changed to mention total level for employee dimension
Checked consistency and no warnings or errors returned.
When I try to access the report I now receive the following error.
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P

SQL Issued: SELECT Employee."Employee Name" saw_0, Employee."Employee Number" saw_1, "Employee Expense Facts"."Total Expense" saw_2, Facts.Comment saw_3 FROM "Employee Expenses" ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1, saw_3
I appreciate your help. I'm not familiar with adding an unrelated table/column into our model to use for writeback.

Admin tool 10.1.3.4.1 hangs with Vista

I am trying to log in to the Oracle BI Admin tool through an ODBC connection but it hangs on the login screen. Other members on my team are able to log into the environment and the only noticable difference is that I am using Windows Vista on my PC. This was for an upgraded version to 10.1.3.4.1. I was previously able to login through ODBC through 10.1.3.4.0. Are there any differences or additional configurations that need to occur in order to login?

Windows Vista 32 bit is supported, not so sure about 64 bit. Which version are you using?
On 64 bit Windows there are 2 odbc data source admin utilities.
(1) Windows\system32\odbcad32.exe
(2) Windows\SysWOW64\
Can you check that your data source is defined in both?
I believe that Oracle BI EE Admin tool looks in (2) for the odbc data sources. Whereas the Oracle client that you install looks in (1).
The following link offers advice on getting 64 bit Windows and OBIEE working:

Top leven navigation and Tool area dissapear after upgrading SP19

Hi all,
we have upgraded the J2EE engine and the EP to the SP19 and when we enter the Portal, the top level navigation and tool area have dissapear.
It could be some parameter wrong or an error during the upgrading?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Rahul,
See SAP Note: 1002832. These are the details:
<b>Reason and Prerequisites:</b>
The problem is caused by a program error.
This note applies to NW04S SP8 - SP10 and NW04 SP16 - SP19.
<b>Solution:</b>
The problem is fixed with NW04S SP11 and NW04 SP20.
The reason for the problem are missing ACLs that are normally created automatically when roles are imported.
In order to resolve this problem please do the following steps;
1 - Logon to the Portal with user having "super admin" rights.
2 - Replace in URL the "/irj/portal" part with the following /irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.admin.acleditor.listPermissions.
This starts a component that lists all permissions in the PCD. It might take some time until it is finished.
3 - Please scroll all the way to the bottom of the list. If there is a botton "fix inner acl", click the button. The missing permissions for the roles will be created. If there is no such button, the permissions are OK. The reason for the symptom is something else then.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Pooja.

Open and connect in OBI 11.1.1.5 admin tool fowwoling OBE Upgrade

I installed OBI11.1.1.5 on Redhat 5.2 and the admin tool on a windows. In this two machine I have OBI 10 server and admin tool installed as well. The OBI 11 components are all up running as I can access them such as EM and represention service.
Following OBEhttp://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/bi/bi11115/upgrade/upgrade_to_11g.htm?print=preview#t3 .I upgraded our 10g rpd and catalog and see the repository saved in instance_home, and verified that the default is RPD sh20110903_BI002.
Next step in the OBE, I verify Reposiotory Metadata. I launched the admin tool, opened inline. In the generated dialog box, I entered the password in defined in the update script as Repository Password, and used weblogic login in User/Password. All other fields are blank. That is all I can do in the dialog box, but the Open buttone is always grey. I think at least one available repository should be listed in the list box at the bottom, but it was empty.
Then I tried to create a new repository. In step 2 Select Data Source, I choose ODBC 3.5 and use a valid system DSN, but got Error : The connection has failed.
I tried also use Connection Type OCI 10g/11g. IN the Data Source Name I used a valid netservice name defined in a Oracle client's Oracle_HOME. But still got Error : The connection has failed.
Questions
1) How can make the Open button active in the Open inline RPD dialog box?
2) Why the valid System DSN failed to connect in 11g admin tool. It is OK in 10g admin tool and ODBC configure
3) How to make Admin Too; sees the tnsnames definition. Should I copy the tnsnames.ora file to somewhere under Admin Tool installation directory?
Many thanks.

Thanks. The post appares make sense. I opened my user.sh file and has 2 questions:
1) There are 32bit section and 64 bit section, and it states that 32 bit server must work with 32 bit client, so is for 64 bit. In my case, the clients are most likely 32 bit windows (browsers and admin tool), but the server is installed on Redhat 64 bit. Is this a problem? How do I know if my OBIEE iis running 64 or 32 bit?
2) All entries in the user.sh file are commented out. Then what file is used to in the current OBI11, it is started automatically after the installation.

SSO between Portal Application and Portal Admin Tool

Hi All,
We have a requirement for implementing SSO between a Portal application and
Portal admin tool.
We are using WL Portal 8.1 SP4.
Here is the reason for this requirement -
A user logged-into Portal Application needs to login to Portal Admin tool to
do some admin activity. We want to provide a link in the portal application
using which the user can directly login to the Portal Admin tool without
having to enter the credentials again.
If someone has any info on how to implement this, can you please point me in
the right direction.
Thanks,
~Deepak

Hi,
When creating PP you have 2 options
PP used for compiling and PP used for Building
You create PP with all the libraries into Developing/Compiling Other DCs
And another PP with all the libraries into can be packaged into other build results (SDAs).
Once you have these 2 PP in place you add the DC as used DC.
And this should resolve the issue.
Hope this helps.
Cheers-
Pramod
