Convert BI Publisher report to OBIEE Analytic report

Hi,
I have few reports originally designed in Oracle BI Publisher, Now I want them in OBIEE (Analytics).
Is there any way for conversion ?
For simple query based reports I have no issue, The problem arises when I have a report with a user prompt as I cannot use direct database queries!

Hi,
Please tell me which version you have use. 10g or 11g
if you are using OBIEE 11g then, New-> under Published Reporting -> Report.
if you have .rdf file then upload it and saved.
and simply create dashboard, drag and drop report into dashboard.

Prashant

Can I create a new Group by column in OBIEE analytic Report ?

Hi Everyone,
Here I have a report
ProductID Price
LCD1 12
LCD2 11
LCD3 10
TV 100
GAME 50
I hope to add a new column on this report in OBIEE and the result should be like below:
ProductID Price New_ProductID_Grouped
LCD1 12 LCD
LCD2 11 LCD
LCD3 10 LCD
TV 100 TV
GAME 50 GAME
I hope to show LCD* products as LCD in the New_ProductID_Grouped field.
Is it possible in OBIEE?
I hope to create the column and then do hierarch later.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah you can go with new logical column with expression and can use it for hierarchy so that you can treat it as one of the level.
ex: drill down column value LCD on click on that you can see LCD1, LCD2 etc..
Try to see the valid expression to define new column.
If helps pls mark

Convert crystal reports to OBIEE?

Does anyone know of a tool that will convert crystal reports to OBIEE or how difficult it is?

There is no tool as both products are from different vendors. You need to manual conversion, mean get the requirements noted form crystal reports and build them in OBIEE from scratch. Using BI PUblisher is recommended,as most of the crystal reports uses custom sql.

BI Publisher report in OBIEE Dashboard

Hi,
I have a BI Publisher report that consists of:
-SQL Based Report
-Has 2 date parameters
This report is independent of any data source OBIEE, ie there is no repository for the data shown in the BI Publisher report.
I need to show this report in OBIEE dashboard with parameters. The report should get a parameter from a prompt / dynamic var.
I have understood according, there are two methods for achieving this:
1. Create a BI Publisher Report using BI Answers report as the data source wherein the BI Answers report would have one of the column’s filter clause as “is prompted”.
2. Create a BI Publisher Report using BI Answers/Database as data source. Create a parameter for the BI Publisher report and then match this parameter name while assigning the presentation variable for the dashboard prompt.
But I can not implement this, because my BI Publisher report is independent of any data source OBIEE.
There a way to solve this?
Thanks in advance!

When you create the parameter in Report, and embed that in BIPublisher report section, it will display the parameter in the embedded content itself.
see, if you can make use of this.

Browser performance issue when Calling BI Publisher report from OBIEE dashb

Hi Techies,
We installed OBIEE 10.1.3.3 on SunOS 5.9 unix box.This is PROD env.We are calling BIPublisher report from OBIEE dashboard by clicking the BIP reports link on OBIEE dashboard.After clikcing the link BIPublisher report is opening in another browser window.But is it taking time.
Plz tell me how can we reduce the time taken to open BIPublisher report window when we cilck on the report name in OBIEE dashboard
Thanks,

Suresh
There is no out of the box method to get the EBS report to OBIEE. You could look into moving the EBS report to a mountable web server directory after it completes and then show it in OBIEE via a link or html object. You will need to rename the report of course, every time you run it its going to change names.
In an after report trigger you could call a small java class to move and rename the file for you.
Alternatively, recreate the report in the standalone version. Be aware that you are going to have to set orgs yourself, BIP is not aware of orgs outside of EBS

BI Publisher report in OBIEE Dashboards

Is there a way to generate the view the BI Publisher report automatically, currently it is asking the user to click the View Report button , "Click View Report to generate report"!
Appreciate your suggestions.
Regards
Bees

Have you selected 'Auto Run' option under Report -> Properties for the report? That should allow you to view output without clicking the view buttion. However, it will use the default parameters..
Is your report parameterized? If so, users will have to select/modify the parameter selection and click view to view the results..
Thanks!

Migration of Discoverer 1g reports to OBIEE

we are trying to migrate reports from Discoverer 10g to OBIEE 10.1.3.4.We have migrated the EUL using the utility tool provided by OBIEE.
Now we were trying to use the sample reports and migrate the same to OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
We are using a sample xml which we will be using to migrate the reports .We have a web service which takes report inputs in this XML format, converts and save OBIEE reports.
SInce OBIEE does not have tabs(worksheets) like Discoverer,we thought
we will have to prepare xml for each tab and present it as a single
report in OBIEE.
1) Can u please suggest if this is right or there is some
workaround for it or if anyone has idea about it?
We could also do some changes to the xml to incorporate some functions of discoverer if anyone has suggestions.
We are assuming that Crosstab reports are similar to Pivot tables in OBIEE.
2) But we are not sure how to incorporate the page items in thexml.plz suggest if anyone has ideas since not sure if page items can be handled in OBIEE.
3) Can someone help us in completing with this below xml by taking example of the sample reports present in discoverer.The values of reports are to be included in the xml
Any help would be great since we are trying this for the first time and we are not well versed with xml too.Please find below the sample xml we are using
- <OBIEE version="10.1.3.4">
- <report Name="" subjectareaname="">

Hi,
I opened the Discoverer administrator and clicked on export.
in next step i selected the option "Selected obects in the end user layer" for "what do u want to export"?
i choose workbook and selected the sample workbook "Video Tutorial workbook"
Then i gave the name "Video Sales Tutorial" and saved the file in a folder and selected the check box "generate xml for exported workbooks"
I got the file in the folder as Video Sales Tutorial.eex.That .eex file had details of the workbook name and all other information
<UniqueIdent ConstraintName="DOC1" Batch="False" DeveloperKey="VIDEO_TUTORIAL_WORKBOOK"/>
But to get these workbook details we have to always save the workbook in the DB.We cannot save the workbook in our file system.
Am i right?Since only workbooks which are in DB can be exported.
Thanks a lot for the info.Will try to analyze this information

How to build a Analysis report in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I have a query regarding 'How to' to build an analysis report in OBIEE 11g.
The data model is a financial data model, where information such as Actual, Plan, Forecast, What - if etc for current AND prior year need to be displayed in a dashboard.
I created two analysis reports one for current year Rep1 and second for prior year Rep2 each with filter criteria as current year and prior year respectively based on years column. and then in the dashboard I created prompt based on scenario column (radio button) for Actual, plan, Forecast, and wht if.
I am able to show the current vs prior year data in the same dashboard for Actual or Plan or forecast or what if (depending on data availability in the database).
I want to achieve the same information in a single analysis report instead of two separate analysis reports. I do not want to create separate physical report for current and prior year data.
I need one analysis report which I can use in dashboard and depending on selection for scenario (actual , plan, forecast or wht if) I want to show the current AND prior year data the way I achieved in with two seperate reports embedded in their respective sections as explained above.
Does any one have idea how to achive this by building single analysis report?
If you need any more clarificaiton or have any queries, please let me know.
Thanks and Regards
Santosh

As per I understand your requirement,
In your Dashboard create a Presentation variable which receives the value of year you select.
Now in your analysis, select the year column along with all the measures you want (Actual, plan, Forecast, and what-if, etc).
Create a filter on Year column and convert it into SQL. Put the condition as:
"Year" BETWEEN @{Presentaion_Variable} - 1 AND @{Presentation_Variable}
You will get the result for selected year and the previous year.
Hope it helps..
Regards,
A.K.

Web Conference: https://conference.oracle.com/imtapp/app/cmn_jm_hub.uix?mID=150764532
BIWA Wednesday TechCast Series - Sixth Event!
This presentation will showcase different options for OBIEE-based Analytical Reporting such as:
1) Oracle BI Applications for supported Oracle E-Business Suite Modules and other Oracle Applications.
It will include real world experiences for implementing BI Apps Version 7.9.6
2) Custom OBIEE Development against E-Business Suite (when no BI apps are available)
3) Migration of Discoverer EUL to OBIEE RPD using Migration Utility
While OBIEE and BI Apps are clearly the strategic analytics reporting direction from Oracle, only certain Analytics applications are available. Sometimes all customer needs for BI reporting may not be met by these pre-built analytics. For instance, JD Edwards has pre-built ETL connectors only for Financial Analytics. While more BI Apps and ETL connectors are in the pipeline, how can users meet their reporting needs today as they go live in near future? In this session, we will look at several short and medium term solutions without deviating from the long term strategic goal of using pre-built BI applications to reduce the overall risk.
Several real life situations will be evaluated with demonstration of the steps involved such as how to Migrate Discoverer reports to OBIEE with the highest degree of automation. Likewise, we will cover how DBI views be used for custom OBIEE reporting.
Presenter: Shyam Varan Nath is an OBIEE Architect for IBM Global Business Services with extensive experience in implementing OBIEE and BI Apps. He has worked on several Oracle Data Warehousing Projects for customers including Citigroup, Air Force, Land O'Lakes, and Blue Cross Blue Shield Association.

Pulling in data from two cubes in one common report in OBIEE

Hi,
We have a scenario wherein we are using Oracle OLAP Cubes as data source for reporting against OBIEE v10.1.3.3.2. The specific question that we have can be exemplified as below:
The Analytic Workspace (as created using AWM) has the following seven dimensions:
Dimension A
Dimension B
Dimension C
Dimension D
Dimension E
Dimension F
Dimension G
Based on the above dimensions, we have the following cubes:
Cube One : Dimension A, Dimension B, Dimension C, Dimension D and Dimension E
Cube Two : Dimension D, Dimension E, Dimension F, Dimension G
So essentially, we have two cubes in the same Analytic Workspace and they do have a few dimensions in common.
What we now need to know is how best to include these two cubes in the same logical model in the business and presentation layers of the OBIEE repository - this needs to be done because we want to include measures from both the cubes in a common report.
Any ideas on the implementation of this scenario are highly appreciated.
Regards,
Piyush

Hello Wildmight,
I am sorry for the duplicate updates - and I regret the inconvenience caused.
Here is what we are trying to achieve:
We have a Business Domain wherein two measures are of importance : M1 and M2. Also, we now know that M1 and M2 are dimensioned as below:
M1 - Dimensions A, B, C, D , E , F, G and H
M2 - Dimensions C, D , F and G
Hence, we are looking at an AW with 8 dimensions and two cubes : One for M1 with 8 dimensions and the other for M2 with 4 dimensions. Also, here comes the need to have a report wherein we can see the values of M1 and M2 in the same report and then do some calculations and analysis using both the figures at the same time. What we now need to know is how best to include these two cubes (which have 4 dimensions in common) in the same logical model in the business and presentation layers of the OBIEE repository so that we can address the reporting requirement of having values of M1 and M2 in the same report.
Any help is much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Piyush

Detail report in OBIEE

Hi,
My client has a requirement to produce detail reports using OBIEE. We have 11g now, I remember in 10G there was a limitation of 10,000 rows, is that the same in 11G. In case if it runs over, how to manage it. Is there any other alternate, can BI publisher accomplish this?
Thanks for your time and help.

Authentication:
In 10g default Authentication is RPD based. In 11g, the user and group definitions are moved to a LDAP server embedded with WebLogic server known as the “Identity Store”. Users and Groups can no longer be created in the RPD. Creation of Users and Groups and the association of members to groups are managed in the WebLogic administration console. WebLogic provides the default authentication provider for OBIEE 11g. Users are authenticated by the WebLogic server based on the credentials in the embedded WebLogic LDAP server. The embedded LDAP server is default Authentication provider for WebLogic and hence OBIEE.
OBIEE 11g gets user, groups and other user attributes from the WebLogic LDAP server. This also eliminates the limitation we had with previous versions of OBIEE where only one Group for a user can be read directly from an LDAP server.
