Copy subject areas between repositories...
Is it possible to copy subject areas from one RPD file to another? How?
And regarding reports: is it possible to copy reports from one catalog to another? how?
Thanks.

Hi FPG - look into merge functionality. With certain tweaks, it should be possible to achieve functionality, however, it's not a direct copy.

NQSError: 15001 Could not load navigation space for the subject area
Hi gems,
I am creating repository with some subject areas from one of the Old repository which has no errors. New repository is giving error as
nQSError: 15001 Could not load navigation space for the subject area
nQSError: 15004 Internal Error: Missing Functional dependency association for the column
But actual for particular column n OLD Repository it is not giving any error
Can anyone help me why this is giving this error.
Thanks
ManuHi Manu,
Please check if all the columns in the copied subject areas are having links to BMM layer and physical layer columns. If the pulled tables does not have proper joins with other BMM tables, it also will cause load naviagtion error.
While copying the subject area from another RPD you must have missed some objects or joins. Please verify.
Thanks

Are emails with the same subject shared between recipients?
I had the same subject for a variety of emails and they all show in the same tab. Can they all see eachothers messages?! If they can how do I fix it so they can't?
Only people who are explicitly included in the recipients list get the emails.
Your email program is grouping the emails together for your convenience since it assumes emails with the same subject are part of the same conversation.
Just because emails appear together on your screens does not mean other people not included in the emails sees them too. -
Dependency between reports and subject area
Hi,
We are using OBIEE 10.1.3.3.
I would like to find out all the reports in a catalog which are dependent on a specific Subject Area.
Is there a way to quickly determine that ? Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you.Hi
In the newer versions you can use an option in the catalog manager 'Create Report' which will extract Report Name, Subject area, etc....and puts in a csv file which will meet your purpose. I am not sure if this feature is available in x.3.3 -
Using of already existing logical tables and columns in a new subject area.
Hi Every one,
i am new to OBIEE technology.
In my project i need to create a new subject area for already existing RPD.
In that RPD there are some logical tables and column created for previous project and i need to use those in this new subject area that i am going to create.
My question is what is the best way to use them .
I mean just to drag and drop them into new subject area or any other way.
please have your valuable suggestions
thanking youYes, you can basically copy paste all the tables that you need from BMM layer into your new folder in the presentation layer. Just make sure all the joins are defined well between all the tables that exists in the new folder, so you wont end up running into ODBC errors when you run analysis.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Hi
Does anybody know how to transfer one Subject Area, including all the BI answers report and dashboard belonged to it, from one BI Server to another BI Server?
ThanksYou will have to copy the RPD file from one server to another. The problem of copying the RPD is that it will overwrite anything that you have on the other server. What you probably want to do is to selectively merge the contents of the 2 RPDs. There are few ways to do this, check this post for a good start: http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/03/24/oracle-bi-ee-101332-merging-repositories-substitute-for-import-from-repository-2-way-merge-with-no-parent-part-2/

Need Help to develop a Funnel Graph Report using Multiple Subject Areas.
Hi Everybody,
Did any body developed Funnel based graph report in Answers..
Scenario: I need to develop a report which is based on 4 Facts(4 Subject Areas) Report is sectioned with 4 block one blovk with one Fact Metrics like this four blocks.
If any idea on such scenario it will be huge benefit for me.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
GovardhanaYes, i can see datatype and number of columns is same in both queries.
i have challanges to copy message but Error message seems to general. Error says (near to FROM) and I checked there are three FROM in query and all seems to be ok
Query is something like as below
select SA1.col1 saw_0,
SA1.col2 saw_1,
SA2.col1 saw_2,
SA2.col2 saw_3,
FROM
(select col1 saw_0, col2 saw_1 from "subject area1") SA1
FULL OUTER JOIN
(select col1 saw_0, col2 saw_1 from "subject area2") SA2
ON SA1.col1 = SA2.col1
I can't see any issue in the query...please comment. -

Multiple Facts in single subject area
Hi everyone,
Is there an optimal way to get multiple facts into a single subject area? The only way I've managed to get multiple facts into a single subject area is to go the route of creating hierarchies for all dimensions, setting up all the content levels for both the fact and dimension tables and finally creating aggregated measures for all the fact tables. However, when you setup these different hierarchies and content levels, the queries which are generated tend to get fairly nasty and seem to be slow. Another pesky issue is that I've had to create pseudo columns for all facts, so that if a report is using one dimension from FACT A and one dimension from FACT B, then you have to include this pseudo column from both facts so that OBIEE knows which tables are involved in the query. Without including these pseudo columns in the report, the OBIEE engine gets a little confused and puts up an error.
I'd prefer to find a better way to do the multiple fact implementation without having to have the massive queries and pseudo columns, but I'm not sure what the other options out there are. Anyone know the best way to accomplish this?
-JoeHi Wildmight,
You are exactly right.
Here's an example of what I'm trying to accomplish. We have a TIME SHEET fact table which has things like a work date, an employee ID, a work order number and the hours which were worked. The work orders can be against one or more pieces of equipment. There is a second fact table which models the one to many relationship between work orders and equipment.
The model would look a little like this:
Join on WORK ORDER NUMBER Join on WORK ORDER NUMBER
TIME SHEET FACT <-----------------------------------------------WORK ORDER Dimension ----------------------------------------------> WORK ORDER EQUIPMENT FACT
We would like to create a report that shows the number of hours from the time sheets fact grouped by the piece of equipment from the work order equipment fact. I've been able to setup this report using the method I described in my first post, but like I said, the generated SQL is massive and seems somewhat unnecessary.
I think I'd have to say the grains of the facts are different since they providing to different pieces of information.
I haven't done too much multiple LTS experimentation. I'm working from a single data warehouse source which should be robust enough to handle any reporting requirements. Even though I know OBIEE can do some clever combining of tables using the LTS; if data sets need to be consolidated, I'm trying to keep that work in the database via ETLs in order to keep the work that OBIEE has to do down to a minimum.

How add new column in analysis from two subject area
which is the right way to add a new column to an existing combined analysis from two subject areas?
if I add the new column first in my two combined queries, then I saw a new column in the results column panel, but this new column is empty and I can't edit its propreties (the button edit column doesn't work). I can't even save the modified analysis due to a "bad xml" errror.
if I try to first add a new column from the results panel and then in my combined queries, obiee says that new columns are not of the same type.
I suppose this is because the new column in results panel has no aggregation formula, unlike new columns in queries.
But I don't know how to change the properties of the new field in the results panel, with no subject area available.
I have to restart from a single subject area? possible?
In this case, there is a way to save/copy filters ecc. from the old analysis?
If anyone can help.
Thanks
LucWhen you are using union clause in analysis or combining with other subject area you suppose to have same number of columns and their datatypes with other analysis.
for datatype issues you can use cast in column expression in each analysis. If you want to add a column only from 1 analysis just add and in other analysis use dummy column with exp 0 or ''(for char) based on the datatype.
These you have to deal with each analysis.
If helps pls mark -
Somewhat new so please forgive me if the question is simple (if it is, please point me in the right direction). I've looked through the documentation and this forum, but have not found what I'm looking for yet.
I am trying to get a single worksheet to pull data from multiple subject areas (two or more fact tables). I would prefer to not join fact tables together, and so I have not created the joins between the folders (fact tables) because I thought the performance would generally be horrible. (example of functionality I'm looking for: I want to combine Sales and Inventory data on one worksheet).
I have kind of tried complex folders, but I would prefer to have the tool generate the SQL if possible because it won't just be me creating reports, and if it's possible, I'd like to avoid coding the SQL myself every time I want to join subject areas.
I also looked at Custom Folders, but my understanding is that they are used primarily to join 1 fact table with multiple dimensional tables, but not multiple fact tables (at least that was the example in the documentation).
My current setup is a 2 tier environment, with just Disco Admin and Disco Desktop on top of 10g. We don't have AS yet so I can't test anything that way.
I appreciate any comments in advance.
NateYou should try both Complex folders as well as custom folders and see which gives you better performance. Discoverer SQL optimizations for example apply only on Complex folders and not on simple folders.
If you define the joins between the two tables, you can still use items from them in your Discoverer report without having to create a complex folder on them.
And finally, you can always create a view or materialized view and use that MV in your Discoverer query.

Using Clipmate to copy and paste between projects
Thanks to Robert Johnston for the inspiration (and perspiration) for this method for copying and pasting between PE projects. One residual side effect of the method is that the audio and video of the copied clips will be unlinked. The renaming folders business is a workaround to avoid the silent audio problem after a project has been saved and reloaded.
1. Rename the folders of all audio files (including AVI files) used in the project to be copied.
2. Start PE and load in the project to be copied.
3. When asked, tell PE where the missing files are. (Check the box marked "Display Only Exact Name Matches".) Press Select.
4. Highlight parts (or all) of the project to be copied, in the timeline.
5. Copy the highlighted parts.
6. Copy into Clipmate:
6.1 Edit > Capture Special
6.2 Check both items in the list
6.3 OK
7. Close PE without saving.
8. Rename the folders of the audio files back again.
9. Open destination project in PE.
10. Re-select the copied info in Clipmate (closing the project in PE caused the clipboard to be cleared):
10.1 Select anything in the Clipmate list except the wanted item.
10.2 Select the wanted item (selecting an item loads it onto the clipboard).
11. Position the CTI to the wanted insertion point.
12. Do Edit > Paste Insert.
13. The pasted items will be highlighted in Media Panel. While still highlighted, select the Media Panel and do: Edit > Locate Media.
14. Tell PE where the files are.
15. Save project.When combining projects, it is best to do your pruning of unwanted clips and other resources BEFORE you combine them, because once the Media Panel gets heavily loaded, PE is liable to crash.
Deleting the unused resources in Media Panel is quite easy in PE3 and PE4. Simply click on the "used" column heading, and the resources will be sorted into two groups of used and unused. Just click on the resource at one end of the unused range and shift click on the resource at the other end to select the whole range, then press delete. (Note that shift works normally in this panel, unlike in the timeline!) However, it is not strictly necessary to delete unused resources before copying and pasting because only resources selected on the timeline will be copied. PE will load and save a lot quicker if unwanted resources are deleted.
My feeling is that PE4 is somewhat more unstable than PE3, but I haven't done a proper direct comparison. For some reason after a crash the autosave often doesn't seem to have done its job properly, even though I set it to save every 10 mins. So make use of the Save button Adobe gave back to us in PE4 and save often, particularly before you use the titler or fiddle with the Media Panel. -
Type2 SCD attributes not shown correctly across subject areas

Type2 SCD attributes not shown correctly across subject areas
Hi,
The issue is that Type2 SCD attributes are showing the old value when used outside the domain of Type2 SCD dimension.
For example, if we try to display the value of Type2 SCD attribute from Contact dimension in Opportunities subject area we get the old value instead of current one.
The reason is that Revenue fact table which is used between Contact and Opportunities dimensions is keeping the old value of Contact ROW_WID.
Is there a suggested / recommended approach on how to solve this ?
Would adding the Contact INTEGRATION_ID in Revenue fact table and using it for join instead of ROW_WID, while filtering out on current flag be a best practice ?
Please advise
BorisHi Boris,
to understand how PR_CONTACT_WID is populated on the W_REVN_F, you must use Informatica (PowerCenter Designer) and view the backward link path.
You could see that PR_CONTACT_WID is search in the Lookup LKP_W_PARTY_PER_D_With_Geo_Wid (mapplet mplt_SIL_RevenueFact) :
- table W_PARTY_PER_D
- Query : SELECT
LOOKUP_TABLE.ROW_WID as ROW_WID,
LOOKUP_TABLE.GEO_WID as GEO_WID,
LOOKUP_TABLE.INTEGRATION_ID as INTEGRATION_ID,
LOOKUP_TABLE.DATASOURCE_NUM_ID as DATASOURCE_NUM_ID,
LOOKUP_TABLE.EFFECTIVE_FROM_DT as EFFECTIVE_FROM_DT,
LOOKUP_TABLE.EFFECTIVE_TO_DT as EFFECTIVE_TO_DT
FROM
W_PARTY_PER_D LOOKUP_TABLE, W_REVN_FS
WHERE W_REVN_FS.PR_CONTACT_ID = LOOKUP_TABLE.INTEGRATION_ID
AND W_REVN_FS.DATASOURCE_NUM_ID = LOOKUP_TABLE.DATASOURCE_NUM_ID
ORDER BY
LOOKUP_TABLE.DATASOURCE_NUM_ID,
LOOKUP_TABLE.INTEGRATION_ID,
LOOKUP_TABLE.EFFECTIVE_FROM_DT,
+LOOKUP_TABLE.EFFECTIVE_TO_DT --+
- Condition : EFFECTIVE_FROM_DT <= IN_DATE AND EFFECTIVE_TO_DT > IN_DATE
So your value for PR_CONTACT_WID is dependent of the value of IN_DATE ( --> IIF(ISNULL(CLOSE_DT), EXCH_DT, CLOSE_DT)).
You must verify for one record where you think there is an issue the CLOSE_DT and EXCH_DT on the table W_REVN_F (CLOSE_DT and U_RVN_EXCH_DT)
Hope it helps,

Can I use vCloud Connector Basic to copy vSphere template between datacenters?
A client has 4 datacenters around the world. They use one a couple of vCenter servers in Linked Mode. vSphere/vCenter only, no vCloud.
If they create a VM template at HQ, could they use vCloud Connector Basic to copy the template between DC in different locations?
If so, would this offer anything more than cloning the template to another DC using vCenter?
Thanks,
-MattGHi Matt,
You can use vCloud Connector for vSphere environment to copy templates / vms across datacenters that are geographically separated. -
Tax Data in any AR Subject Area
Hello All,
I have a scenario to add lots of AR Tax data elements in any of AR Subject area. Currently we are using OBI Apps 7.9.6.1.
The AR tax details are coming from the Oracle-EBS 11 5 9, the most of the source tables are AR_COLLECTORS, ECE_TP_HEADERS, AR_VAT_TAX_ALL_B.etc....
I need to map all these tables through Informatica mappings and bring it into any of AR Subject area.
Please advice me that, which subject area could be the best one to add all tax information of AR.
Is there any specific join conditions to add these (AR_COLLECTORS, ECE_TP_HEADERS, AR_VAT_TAX_ALL_B.) following tables in the existing Informatica mappings.
Thanks!!
PraveenAre you importing data into the EBS through Informatica PowerCenter? I strongly suggest you use the EBS interface tables or the provided EBS API's for importing data from external sources, in fact, this is Oracle's recommended method of importing data from external sources. You are asking for trouble if you try to put data in all the right places yourself. This is why Oracle provide interface tables and API's to import data.
Oracle's Enterprise Business Suite (EBS) plays by its own rules and for good reason. There are just too many dependencies between tables to attempt this on your own. I suggest your review the Oracle Applications Documentation library for how to use the interface tables and APIs. Each EBS module has it's own set of interface tables and APIs.
