Creating Cascading Filter Dropdown boxes when data source is BO (Unx) Universe.

Currently it is understood that cascading filter dropdown boxes are possible only with HANA and BW datasources. Is there a plan to release this functionality with Design Studio version 1.3? Did anybody find a workaround for this yet?

Hi Vivek,
Please check out this post: How to Create Multiple Dropdown boxes (Cascading Filters) when using Universe in the backend.

Hi community,
Is there anyway to create Cascading filter in Design studio when data source is Universe using drop-down component (Dimension filters cannot be used in my requirement).
My requirement is,
I have 2 drop-downs:
drop-down 1 : shows the regions in a country.
drop-down 2 : should display states based the region selected in the first drop-down (drop-down 1). Also drop-down 2 should pass selected state as input to the data-source
Thanks in advance

Create Report with CR4E and XML Data Source

Hi all,
I have a problem when create a report with CR4E that should use a XML data source. It is not possible to choose fields from the field explorer, because ther are no fields from the XML-file. Is there a general problem when using an ODA data source in CR4E? At the moment I can only create reports with a database as data source.
Please help me with a tip.
Thanks
Arnold

Hi,
After Installing CR4E Version 2 the code snippet for creating a XML-report not works as JSP. Has anywhere a hint to resolve the problem or a complete JSP-file?
reportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();

Excel Functions Do Not Work When Data Source is BW

Hello,
My platform is, BOBJ BI 4.0. Data source is SAP BW. BW is connected to XCelsius with BEx. My problem is, excel functions do not work when data source is BW. For example, Excel cell A1=quantity1 B1= quantity2 C1= excel function "=A1+B1" When data source is Excel, for example A1=5, B1=9 C1 automatically equals to 14. (There is no problem when data source is Excel) But, in BW, for example when BW set values to A1=5, B1=9, the system does not calculate C1. C1 always equals to initial value, the system does not care any excel calculation when data source is BW. Any guess for my problem? Thank you for your effort.

Hi,
As you are using very simple formula,it will work no matter which source you are consuming.As mentioned,try to place a simple component(Eg:spreadsheet),just to check whether you are getting the right calculated value or not.
As you are using BW as source,the Preview option will not show the runtime data,so you need to publish in Portal to check whether the calculation happened or not.
As far as I know only few fromulas are supported in Xcelsius,but these kind of simple formulas are very much supported.

Creating cascading drop down boxes in SharePoint 2010 using one list

We have a support request form tied to a list that end users input data into which when submitted sends out an email.
Is it possible to create a drop down box on the form that limits the choices in the "subcategory" column, based on what is chosen in the "category" column.
For instance in the category column we have SharePoint, Oracle, and Web Tools as choices.
In the subcategory column we have items related to each category. We only want items that are related to the selected choice to appear in the subcategory drop down box.
I see examples in InfoPath using "Multiple Lists" (one list for city, one for state, etc), but nothing using the same list. I would rather not use multiple lists if possible.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, you want to create a cascading drop-down list box using one list.
To achieve what you want, we can:
Create two fields(category and subcategory) in drop-down list box type in the form in InfoPath.
Add the list which contains the values of the category and subcategory columns to the form as an external data.
Right click the category field, click Drop-Down List Box Properties, and choose Get choices from an external data source.
Choose the list added in step2 in Data source, click XPath behind Entries, click the category column in the list, select Show only entries with unique display names.
Right click the subcategory field, click Drop-Down List Box Properties, and choose Get choices from an external data source.
Choose the list added in step2 in Data source, click XPath behind Entries, click the subcategory column in the list, then click Filter Data.
Click Add, select the category column in the list in the first box, select is equal to in the second box, choose select a field or group in the third box, then choose Main in the Fields and select the category field in the form.
Click OK.
Best regards.
Thanks

Error (WIS 10901) while creating a webi report against SAP data source

Hi,
While creating a webi report against a universe created using Infocube/Bex query (basically SAP data source) get a error message -
A database error occured. The database error text is: A runtime exception has occured. (License key check failed. Check that you are licensed to access SAP data sources). (WIS 10901).
Any clues whether this is a license issue or something else?
Thanks,

I am having the same problem. I checked and double checked everything, including deleting and recreating the Universe and the Connection. No improvement. On a whim, I deleted the hierarchy from the query on which the Universe was based, and recreated the Universe on the query without the hierarchy. The problem went away.
Now, the question is, why do I get the WIS 10901 error when a hierarchy is present in the query/Universe?

Create a new OSB domain and data source problems

Hello,
I noticed a problem while create a new OSB domain with Oracle Service Bus 10gR3 on Solaris 10 (intel-based).
This domain is composed of two managed servers deployed on a cluster.
I have configured the JMS reporting data sources to use an Oracle 10g (XE) database (driver Oracle Thin (non XA)) installed on a remote server.
While trying to start my managed servers, the startup process of these managed servers failed due to a data source problem on "wlsbjmsrpDataSource" or "cgDataSource-nonXA".
The workaround I found is to delete and recreate (through the WLS console) the data sources "wlsbjmsrpDataSource", "cgDataSource-nonXA" and "cgDataSource".
In this situation, my managed servers can be started properly.
Is it a known problem located on the configuration wizard?
Thanks for your help.

Hi
For the answer.
I fully understand that those datasources are default ones and are mainly related to JMS reporting.
But my question was probably not well expressed.
The problem I had is when the domain is created, the managed servers won't start due to problems related to theses datasources.
The workaround I found is to delete and to create those datasources from the WLS console.
In this situation, the managed servers are able to be started.
I want to know if this is a known problem/limitation of OSB 10gR3 with Solaris 10 and Oracle 10g?
Thanks for your help.

How can I create ACCT_BUDAT into COPA account based data source?

hi Friends,
I create a COPA data source use standard BI function: KEB0 and find that the posting data(ACCT_BUDAT ) can not include into it.
I checked the table CE4xxxx_acct and find that it has already in it, however when I check tcode KEQ3 I found that this field is not in the list.
So can anybody tell me the reason and advice? the posting data is important for the report. Also if possible, may I include the COPA document number into the COPA account based datasource?
thanks very much!

Hi,
   The posting date BUDAT is not a characteristic ; its just a technical field.
   There is a logical reason for this
The CE4XXXX table basically holds a unique PA segment no for a unique combination of characteristics. For example let us say you have only 2 characteristics customer and product. Then let us say for customer 1 and product 1 you have PA no 1; for customer 2 and product 2 PA no 2 and so on. Every time you post a document with customer 1 and product 1 the same PA no 1 will be reused i.e. no new entry will be made to CE4XXXX.
   Now if you were to introduce a new characteristic called date in this table then every time the date changes a new PA no will have to be generated and the entries in CE4 table will grow. This will make reporting more difficult and will also cause performance problems.

How to create a filter based on Effective date EFFDT

Hello to all,
I am currently creating reports from an HR database that stores records by employee (EMPLID) based on effective date(EFFDT) and Effective Sequence (EFFSEQ).
It is easy to get a report that shows all entries up to a certain data (using <= or >=), however, I am not able to create a Filter (in the report or in the prompt)
that shows me the MAX(EFFDT) up to a certain data dd/mm/yyyy. (any one)
The sql script we use is the follwiing
SELECT A.EFFDT, A.EFFSEQ, A.ACTION, A.EMPL_CLASS, *
FROM PS_JOB A
WHERE A.EMPLID=' ' ----*(PROMPT1)*
AND A.EFFDT=(SELECT MAX(B.EFFDT) FROM PS_JOB B
WHERE B.EMPLID=A.EMPLID
AND B.EFFDT<=' ') *(PROMPT2)*
AND A.EFFSEQ=(SELECT MAX(B.EFFSEQ) FROM PS_JOB B
WHERE B.EMPLID=A.EMPLID
AND B.EFFDT=A.EFFDT)
Do I need to create a variable? If yes, How?
Please send me your suggestions or past experiences with BI on the subject.
Thanks
Roberto

Hi Roberto,
I would create a session variable via the Oracle BI Administration Tool.
See the following of how to achieve this:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12096_01/books/admintool/admintool_Variables4.html
Reference this variable in your filter. It looks something like this VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."VARIABLE_NAME")
Good Luck,

PerformancePoint - 2010 Scorecard filter based on two data sources (Actual - OLAP/Target - Sharepoint List)

Hi
I have KPI's for tasks performed by specific groups within our organization, the actuals are determined by an MDX tuple formula against an AS OLAP data source:
([Change Task Assignment Group].[Group Subtype].&[GDC PM], [Measures].[Average task duration - m]) /1440
The Task Name is provided by a filter, also looking at the AS OLAP data source.
This woks well and allows us to have a single scorecard for the team, providing actuals depending on the task selected from the filter. The problem comes in setting targets for the KPI's! I can only set one target for each KPI and this is
the same for which ever task is selected via the filter. The target is stored in a SharePoint list.
Is it possible to have targets for the different tasks driven by the same filter? Can a single filter be configured to return values from two data sources to both the Actual KPI value and the Target value?
Thanks

A good solution. Liked it very much. Can you please make it a technet blog for others.

Does OBIEE has ability to create a single cube from multiple data sources?

Hi all,
Does OBIEE has the ability to create a single cube from multiple sources and does it has the ability to join multiple cubes?
Looking forward to ur reply.

Hi
OBIEE can join multiple data sources to make a single data model, but it's not a cube in the multi-dimensional sense like Essbase or Oracle OLAP.
To be able to join datasources together they need to have a common dimension or FK relationship depending on what the source is and what you want to do with it.

Error loading report when data source changed

We are migrating our Crystal Reports from using XML files generated from our SAP R3 system to using a direct connection to SAP R3 (using the SAP Integration Kit).
The code is straightforward:
      crReport = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
      crReport.Load(reportPath);
...where the reportPath is just a string with the path and filename (e.g. "C:\reports\Report1.rpt").
This worked fine with the report when it had an XML data source. When we run the code with the new version of the report that connects to a data table on our SAP R3 we get the following error message:
Error in File Report1 {40205567-F890-4B3C-A103-C9C8F0A1E665}.rpt: Failed to logon to the Crystal Report Object Repository.
The report is not in an Object Repository, nor do we even have a Repository in place right now. The report can be run manually from Crystal Reports on the desktop without any kind of Repository.
Both versions of the report were built in Crystal Reports 2008.
Thanks,
Byron

I am not sure if connecting to SAP is any different than connecting to SQL, but we develop one report and then deploy to N number of client who all have their own SQL servers and server names.
Here is the code I use to alter the database connection at runtime:
connection.DatabaseName = _datebaseName;
                connection.ServerName = _serverName;
                if (_integratedSecurity)
                    connection.IntegratedSecurity = _integratedSecurity;
                else
                    connection.UserID = _userId;
                    connection.Password = _password;
                connection.Type = ConnectionInfoType.SQL;
                // First we assign the connection to all tables in the main report
                foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in _reportDocument.Database.Tables)
                    AssignTableConnection(table, connection);
                foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section section in _reportDocument.ReportDefinition.Sections)
                    // In each section we need to loop through all the reporting objects
                    foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportObject reportObject in section.ReportObjects)
                        if (reportObject.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject)
                            SubreportObject subReport = (SubreportObject)reportObject;
                            ReportDocument subDocument = subReport.OpenSubreport(subReport.SubreportName);
                            foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in subDocument.Database.Tables)
                                AssignTableConnection(table, connection);

Creating XML Publisher report without xml data source

Hi
Anyone developed XML publisher without xml source.I wanted to know is there any way to develop that..
Presently we need a .xml file to develop any report on XML Publisher.But if there will be a way where is no .xml file and we need to generate tags for the data from scratch
thanks
kp

So why develop a report if there is no data? I can only think that you have a bunch of static text, maybe an instruction page you want to publish? If so, you still need a data source, it can be a dummy source
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROOT/>
ie no data per se. BIP needs a source even if there is not data to merge.
Cheers

How to set the POV in WebAnalysis when data source is HFM?

Hi Every one..
Could any one tell how to set pov in web analysis when data base is HFM. And hoe to make the report Dynamicall (Current Pov Member like in FR). for this if use Essbase Ican get it it easiliy by using Subtitutional variable but is ti possible fo rHFM.
Thnaks in advance
Rao

yeas agree with sanakar,
this field which shankar is talking about must be entry date (if u delta timestamp is date, u will also have to mention this table field name in definition of delta), this means that this field will catch last change to the record, so that it will be delta enabled based on the latest change date. This is very important becuase if u use date like posting date to the delta then back dated posting will not captured in to the delta, as delta for this back date is already been done.
Hope u understand this.
