Content level setting in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
i am new to obiee 11g.i have an doubt in setting up the content level setting in BMM layer.i have given details level in fact LTS content tab with help of physical join,i dont get any error but while trying to generate reports i am getting an error "None of the fact table is compatible with the requested level".where i am commiting mistake,do i need to set content llevel based on physical join or logical join scenario.kindly help regarding this.
thanks in advance!

Hi Nanda,
We set the content level of logical source based on the granularity of the source.
Say, a product hierarchy is like
Category -> Sub Category -> Product
Say one of your dimensions has Product information, for this source set the level as 'Product'
Say there is an aggregated source which has Category information, set the source level as 'Category'.
Hope this helps you to set your levels.
Thank you,
Dhar

  • How to provide Responsiblity level security in OBIEE 11g

    Hi all,
    Can any one tell me how to provide the responsibility level security in OBIEE 11G.

    Hi,
    You need to create group of users and then apply filters over that groups.
    you should establish an additional filter for group1 (user1 belongs to group1 in your example). Follow next steps:
    - Manage -> Security...
    - Groups -> click right group1 and select propierties.
    - Select button 'Permissions...'
    - Select tab 'Filters' -> add new filter.
    - On the column name select the metric you need filter, in your example, customer sales. On the column 'Business model filter' put table.division=division1
    you should add the Customer table to your Sales-fact LTS add apply the filter to this combined LTS as well

  • Issue with Skip Level Hierarchy in OBIEE 11g

    Hi,
    I have implemented Ragged and Skip Level Hierarchy as explained in the links below in OBIEE 11g RPD.
    (checked the 'Ragged' and 'Skipped Levels' check boxes)
    http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/07/obiee-11gr1-support-for-ragged-skip-level-value-based-hierarchies/
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/bi.1111/e10540/dimensions.htm#BABFBBFG
    When the Presentation Hierarchy is dragged in the OBI Answers, the leaf level beyond the skip (null) levels is not shown in the report.
    When any level finds intermediate null values, OBIEE is failing to show the existing value of the leaf level (Most Granular Level) or any values after Skipped Levels.
    For example, following is the values in database for different levels of department hierarchy.
    A -> B -> C -> Null -> Null -> F
    The OBIEE Presentation Hierarchy can only drill down till C, not beyond that. (does not show the leaf level value 'F').
    Could you please suggest whether I am missing any step?
    Thanks.

    Hi, My problem is that in my report it is showing me that levels as -- A -> B -> C -> Null -> Null -> F, however I want to show data as A -> B -> C -> F, i.e the null valus(columns) should be skipped. Please help.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Row level security in OBIEE 11g: Which is better: VPD or RPD

    We can apply row level security in OBIEE by 2 ways.
    1. by Creating Initialize Block in RPD
    2. or Applying VPD in Database, which restricts source tables
    Which one is more efficient and why?
    Thanks,
    Sunil Jena

    you will have some degree of performance degradation with either approach since you are adding additional filters so I would not use that as the main factor to decide. You need to assess your actual requirements. What is the basis by which you are planning on doing the security. Is LDAP the main basis for the security? Do you plan to use certain roles? if your security is more based on roles at the application level, then it may be easier to define at the Application level (OBIEE)...if its just based on a certain user ID for a set of tables, then perhaps VPD can work. If helpful, pls mark.

  • Setting up OBIEE 11G Marketing Segmentation pointing to dual CRM apps

    We like to bring into another CRM app into our OBIEE 11 single instance.  Currently we already have one set up with Marketing Segmentation.  We would like to bring another CRM app into this single instance of OBIEE.  My question is, can we configure our single instance of OBIEE 11g to mulitple CRM app running Marketing Segmentation?

    1) I deleted bridge-utils, netcfg
    2) I edited /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf:
    interface=wlan0
    #bridge=br0
    edited /etc/dnsmasq.conf:
    interface=wlan0
    dhcp-range=192.168.0.2,192.168.0.255,255.255.255.0,24h
    and edited /etc/rc.local:
    ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
    ifconfig wlan0 up
    3) I added in autostart these daemons: hostapd, dnsmasq and iptables.

  • Data level security in OBIEE 11g

    Hi all,
    I am using OBIEE 11g. I have a table called "USER_ACCESS_T" which has four columns user_name,Access_level_name,Access_level_type,status_flag.
    User_Name Access_Level Access_Type Status_Flag
    XX Project ABC Project Group Yes
    YY Project DEF Project sub Group Yes
    ZZ Project GH Project Yes
    My requirement is
    When user XX logs in BI answers, he has to access only Project group ie.., Project ABC.
    When user yy logs in BI answers, he has to access only Project sub group ie.., Project DEF.
    Kindly Guide me.

    Hi Haree,
    Please follow the follow steps to restrict users on the project dimension.
    1) Create an init block to populate the list of project a user belongs to. You have to do this row - wise initialized as a user can belong to multiple projects.
    Select 'PROJECT_NUMBER', project_number from w_project_d where UPPER(user_name)=UPPER(':USER');
    2) Now as you have all the project numbers for a particular user in a variable, you can use that to filter on the dimension table.
    3) In the rpd, go to the group/role - Permissions - Select the dimension table project - and put the following filter.
    "Core"."Dim - Project.Project Number" = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.PROJECT_NUMBER)
    That's it. Your security is now in place for projects.
    i think this will give you an solution.

  • Data Level Security In OBIEE 11g based on the filters setup in RPD

    Hello All,
    We are trying to implement the data level security on a BI publisher report that is using BI server as the data source. The filters are created in the RPD based on user login ( session variable USER). From the documentation of BI publisher, I see that you have to enable the option Use Proxy Authentication to pass the user information down to BI publisher from OBIEE when using BI server as the data source to implement row-level security. After checking that option, the BI pub report does not render anymore. This is all in 11g. Can anyone help me with where I am going wrong?

  • Row level security in OBIEE 11g

    Hi guys,
    We have a business intelligence project in OBIEE, and I have a question regarding row level security (RLS).
    Specifically, I have an hierarchical organization with users belonging to different structures. If one user belongs
    to a structure that is above another structure in hierarchy, then he should see both data from his structure and
    the of the users in structures bellow it. In the reports, we must have filters implemented respecting this requirement,
    i.e. if one logs in OBI and accesses the report, he should see in the filter "Users" only subordinate users and respectively
    data displayed in the report should be filtered accordingly. How would you suggest to implements this type of security
    in the data model? And how could I create the type of filter mentioned above?  

    This needs to be implemented in 3 different levels. 1. in database  2. in RPD  3 in reports
    1. You need to have facts or dimensions which have columns through which you can filter based on their hierarchy. e.g position in an organisation or department in the hierarchy table which can be joined to fact.
    2. In rpd you need to create a session variable and initialize it using init block based on the user who is logging in. This variable will be you position or department through which you want to filter based on hierarchy. e.g select position from hierarchy_table where user= 'NQSession(user)' . The resulting position value will be used as a filter.
    3. Add this position variable as a content filter in your LTS in you BMM layer.
    4. You can also use this session variable  as a filter in you reports too.
    hope this helps.

  • Alternative Data Level Security in OBIEE 11g

    Gurus - Wanted to put it out there if there are alternatives ways of achieving data level security as opposed to going the route of creating blocks that initialize session variables which can be applied onto tables through roles in the RPD? The main reason for asking was to try and prevent performance impact of having a significant number of init blocks running when an user logs into the application.

    VPD [Virtual Private Database] would be an alternative for this.

  • Weird behaviour of OBIEE 11g hierarchy columns

    Hi,
    I'm facing this weird issue when i implement the OBIEE 11g new feature called hierarchy column.The issue is that the last value in the hierarchy is reporting
    Example
    Store Heir-achy
    ->Store Country
    ->Store City
    ->Store name
    ->Store Name
    ->Store name (And the level goes on and on).
    I don't know why this weird thing is happening.Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sunny.

    Thanks for the response, in regards to whether it is 1 or 2 Logical Facts, it is still the same behaviour. IN regards to the Logical Dimension, yes it is set with two LTS with the applicable content levels set. I even tried that as just 1 LTS doing the join through the General tab. Still the same behaviour with the drill-down. I am assuming it will always go through the full drill path regardless of what level the Fact you are hitting is at.

  • Content Level

    I have a fact table with 11 million rows that joins with 8 dimesion tables to form a perfect star schema.
    The client said that he can reduce the row size to 6 million if we remove 3 dimensions from the joins. So he created a materialized view with 6 million rows joining with 5 dimesnions which he is going to use the most in the reports.
    The client requires the previous model as well because there are 2 reports out of the 7 reports that will be based on the 11 million rows fact and the 8 dimension tables.
    if I convert this scenario to the aggregate and detail level Fact. I will have 2 models (5 Dimesnion model lets say it as aggregate and 8 dimesnion model as detail). Now i will create a BMM layer subject area and promote the detailed level model to the BMM layer. For Aggregate I will start mapping each of the objects in BMM layer except for thr 3 dimension tables that are nor present in AGG model with the Agg model (5 dimesnions) of the physical layer.
    While Aggregate navigation and creating dimension hierarchies we set the content level navigation for each logical table source to the level at which the lowest granularity exists. However in my scenario. The granularity for both the model will be same. So how will the query from OBIEE recognize which model to use when a report is built as both the models are built at the same content level with the exception of 3 dimsion tables.
    Please help it is urgent. How should I implement this scenario?

    For your "fact" table in the BMM, you should have two LTS - one for the detail level data, one for the aggregate level data.
    For each of your dimension tables, you should set up a hierarchy (sorry, using standard accepted terms of objects here...not Oracle's non-standard ones....) Each dimension should have at least a "total" and "detail" level, more if there are a proper hierarchy.
    Then when you set up your LTS, for the detail one - each of your eight dimensions will have content level set to the detail levels. For your aggregate LTS, on the three dimensions that aren't present, set the content level to the "total" level. I'd also set the PRIORITY GROUP so that the aggregate gets chosen first instead of the detail.
    Hope this helps!

  • OBIEE 11g Hierarchy and Fact interaction

    I have an issue where I don't know if OBIEE functionality will allow for the behaviour requested. I have 2 Fact tables, one at the Date grain and one at the Date Time grain (Hours and Minutes).
    We have two Physical dimension tables (Time and Date). The Date snowflakes off the Time. My intention was to create one Logical Dimension (Date Time) and set up the appropriate Levels (Year | Month | Day | Hour | Minute).
    The Logical Layer consists of two Logical Facts, each with one LTS. And the one Time Date Dimension. The LTS for the Fact at the Date grain has its Content Level set to Day. The LTS for the Fact at the Date Time grain has its Content Level set to Minute.
    The behaviour I am seeing is that when a user runs an Ad-hoc request and selects, lets say Year, Month, Metric from Date grain fact. The default behaviour allows them to drill down from the Month to the Day, which is expected. What wasn't expected was that the default drill-down is still active on the Day column in this request. When the user drills into the Day column it returns the Hours with the metric now NULL. I would expect the metric being NULL as this Fact isn't at this level. What I wasn't expecting was the tool allowing the user to be able to drill past the Day when the Fact being hit has it's Content Level set to Day.
    I am missing something here or is this the expected behaviour?

    Thanks for the response, in regards to whether it is 1 or 2 Logical Facts, it is still the same behaviour. IN regards to the Logical Dimension, yes it is set with two LTS with the applicable content levels set. I even tried that as just 1 LTS doing the join through the General tab.

  • OBIEE 11g: Hierarchy Drills & Graph Scales

    Hi eveyrone,
    I have a time-series graph with dates along the x-axis and my measure value along the y-axis.
    In the "Sections" portion of the graph I have a node based hierarchy.
    I have 4 columns in the report.
    Presentation hierarchy (node based hierarchy), Hierarchy Dimension column (regular FK link to the hierarchy dimension but not a presentation hierarchy), Date, SUM( Metric by hierarchy dimension column)
    In the graph, I create a line scale marker and set it to be based on my one measure column. I also graph my one measure column.
    In therory, since I'm graphing the EXACT same column that the scale marker is tied to, they should ALWAYS appear to overlay. And in fact they do at the first level of the hierarchy.
    But when I drill into the hierarchy, the measure column changes, but the scale marker does not.
    Why does this happen?
    It is the exact same column so they should always be the same value. It's a pretty frustrating bug because as you drill, the scale of the measure changes but the scale of marker does not, so it's basically like you're viewing a flat line because the y-axis is too far off from the actual column measure to see any trend.
    Has anyone seen this?

    Thanks for the response, in regards to whether it is 1 or 2 Logical Facts, it is still the same behaviour. IN regards to the Logical Dimension, yes it is set with two LTS with the applicable content levels set. I even tried that as just 1 LTS doing the join through the General tab.

  • Does an evaluation-only install of OBIEE 11g require a database?

    I wanted to set up OBIEE 11g on my laptop so that I could start to evaluate it. From numerous blogs, I was led to believe that I first needed to install a database (I installed Oracle 11g), run the RCU utility, and then install OBIEE 11g. I successfully performed these steps, installing everything in one VirtualBox VM. Performance is acceptable but the VM's VDI is 18 GB in size!
    After the OBIEE installation, the OBIEE home page automatically launched in a browser. In the Dashboard dropdown there's a Sample Lite QuickStart dashboard. Clicking on that link displays a series of tabs, including a ReadMe tab that states: "You are looking at a OBIEE SampleApp Lite, a simplified version of the OBIEE 11g SampleApp. SampleApp Lite only includes very limited set of basic features examples and sources only from XML static datafiles. SampleApp Lite does not show most of the OBIEE 11g powerful features and capabilities."
    IMO, this indicates I didn't necessarily need to install Oracle 11g as a requirement to install OBIEE 11g. Is that the case? If so, what are the steps to install OBIEE 11g without a database? Why do I ask? I need to create another OBIEE 11g VM for a co-worker to evaluate. I'm wondering if I can somehow skip installing the database this time and simply let them evaluate OBIEE 11g by just using the SampleApp Lite dashboard.

    Hi,
    Installation of OBIEE 11g needs an RCU (and therefor a DB), even, as in your case, you're not using the DB for the SampleApp. Although installation needs an RCU, the RCU doesnt have to be on the same machine, so, while installing your 2nd machine, you can point to the RCU on the first machine. Doing this you don't have to install a seperate DB on the second machine.
    Good luck!
    PS. I think you can even remove the DB from your first machine afterwards, since I don't think it's being used in your case. But not sure about this, and never done it myself this way..
