Creating subject area in OBIEE 11.1.1

Hi,
Could anybody tell me which tools I have to use in order to create a subject area for using it in the OBIEE 11.1.1 ?
I have searched a little bit through the Internet & Oracle documentations and it looks like I could use Oracle Essbase, Oracle Datawarehouse Builder and Datawarehouse Admin Console (using the Informatica PowerCenter Server) ... it looks very difficult to me ...
Thanks.

I think my problem would be fixed if I can get Oracle Business Intelligence Administration Tool running.
Could you tell me from where I could download Oracle Business Intelligence Administration Tool ? I didn't find it for OBIEE 11.1.1 :(
Thanks.

Firefox not showing multiple subject areas for OBIEE source

Creating a new data set using the Oracle BI EE source. The dropdown list of subject areas won't drop down in Firefox, so I can't select any subject area other than the first one. It works properly in IE.
Anybody else noticed this?
OBIEE 11.1.1.6.9 with Firefox 18.0.2 or 21.0.

You 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.

Creating Subject Areas in Analytics

Can we create our own subject areas in Analytics Answers in CRM on demand?
How are we going to use joins and facts which we can use in OBIEE at repository level

Thanks for your reply
I am not going to use OBIEE at all as my source..I just want to compare OBIEE and Oracle CRM on demand.
As creating dashboards and Reports in Oracle CRM on demand is similar to creating reports and dashboards in OBIEE.
Please can you give me any document or URL for same.
Thanks

Sohail,
Check out the catalogue manager reports :

If you want this kind of thing automated, I personally am very fond of the ODI -> OBIEE Data lineage solution as provided in Oracle By Example tutorials :

Security for subject area in obiee 11.1.1.6

Hi every one,
I have installed obiee 11.1.1.6 and applied the patches 13794002,13884769,13887566,13892934,13916045,13926409,13932572
Here the problem is when i am setting permission as denied to r subject areas for users,still they are able to view that subject area and able to fetch data.
For rest of the components security is working fine. But for subject areas it is not working as expected.
Do anyone else faced this problem or is there any other patch i need to apply to overcome this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Devarasu,
Thanks for your reply.
I have waited for 3 hours and even restarted the obiee services.
But even then users who are denied with permission for some subject areas can able to access them.
Thanks you very much.

How to create Analysis from two different subject areas with diff models

Hello,
I have problem with create analysis from two different areas with two different models (Model Star and Snowflakes) build in BI Admin tools.
First Model A = Subject Area A have one fact tables (with measures) and three dimensions tables (Model Star)
Second Model B = Subject Area B have one fact table (no measures) and five dimensions tables (Model Snowflakes).
I'm looking solutions how I can give good results. In this case I can't use UNION, INTERSECT etc., because this models haven't the same number column and data type?
whether it is possible to do in OBIEE?
Please help me
Kind regard
robix

Hi
One thing to understand is that if your are imagining having two Subject Areas (SAs) displayed and then dragging columns from each into your Request without any preparation, then no, that can't be done. You would need to do a join in the BMM layer and expose the column from the second Subject Area in the presentation layer.
But if you indeed interested in UNION (or intersect) queries, then do this:
Build your first query in the first SA in the usual manner. Note the number of columns and the data types of each column.
Now at the bottom of the Criteria workspace, there is a button called "Combine with similar request." Click it.
Select your second SA. You will note that the outlines of the columns in your first query appear. This is to remind you that the number of columns in this second query must be the same as in the first. It also shows the data type of each column for the same reason.
Once you select your columns and your filters, click on result. (Oh, you will also need to decide what kind of combination you want -- click on the dropdown.) The result will be a new Request that has data from both SAs in the query and combined in the manner you select (union, intersect, etc.)
That should give you a start.

Multiple Subject Area - OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have to do cross-subject area operations in OBIEE 11g. Here is what I have found out:
1. There is an option to use Union/Intersect operations which creates a Union query
2. There is an option to use 'Add/Remove Subject Area' which can be used to combine Attributes/Facts across multiple Subject Areas.
I am looking forward more details on second point above but unfortunately there isn't an official document by Oracle on it.
As I understand, by using 'Add/Remove Subject Area', OBIEE does not create a UNION query but it combines the attributes as if they are used through same Subject Area. So, it is not a typical join as I dont see something like Subject Area 1.Key = Subject Area 2.Key in Query log which brings me to a question:
Is it possible to use the option to combine attributes across Subject Area based off Multiple BMM in RPD? I think the answer is NO because I don't think there is a way for OBIEE to combine results sets from different BMM.
Thoughts?

I am afraid but I am not able to follow your suggestion. I will try to make it very simple:
1. We create Subject Areas in RPD
2. Each Subject Area will be based on BMM created in RPD. Now, you can have multiple Subject Areas which are again based on BMM itself.
3. I can also create multiple BMM within RPD.
Something like:
BMM A, Subject Areas - 1A and 2A
BMM B, Subject Areas - 1B and 2B
From above, consider you have created two BMM's - A and B and within each BMM there are two Subject Areas. 1A and 2A in BMM A and 1B and 2B in BMM B.
Now, when I logon to Answers, when I click on New->Analysis, I would see four Subject Areas - 1A, 2A, 1B and 2B. Suppose I select 1A. Now, when I try to use Add/Remove Subject areas option, I can only see 1B (because both of them are from same BMM - A). I won't see 2A and 2B.
So, this brings me to conclusion that you cannot combine attributes from different BMM using 'Add/Remove Subject Areas'. You can however use UNION/INTERSECT to do the operation but Add/Remove Subject Areas is limited to be used when your Subject areas are connected in the same BMM.
Is my understanding correct?

Seperate Subject area for Dashboard Prompts

Hi,
Is there any way by which we can create seperate subject areas for OBIEE dashboard prompt only??
Thanks

Hi,
Yes we can create separate subject areas for dashboard prompt's alone. Here is a case
Say we need to create a constraint enabled prompt in our dashboard. So we bring in two dimension columns into the prompt.
When we run the prompt, the queries across these two dimensions go through a fact table (Because the only way two different dimensions can be joined is through a fact . This fact table is chosen by BI Server intelligently at run time and that can be set through Implicit Fact column also though). In this case there is a chance that some of the dimension rows might get skipped in the constrained prompt as all of the records might not be present in the fact table.
To mitigate this issue, we might want to create a separate subject area for dashboard prompts alone (using some fact less fact or by having a surrogate key in the 2nd dimension table etc).
Hope I am clear :)
Thank you,
Dhar

Configure Subject Areas

How do I configure multiple subject areas in OBIEE 11G?
Thanks,
Akshatha

Hi,
You said u r using obiee11g version right, in this if u want to change the RPD,Catalog you need to delpoyee via weblogic Enterprise Manager.
refer the below link for deployeeing.
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2010/08/obiee11g-deploying-new-rpd.html
second think,
better to keep mulitple subject area in the same RPD. if you have mulitple RPD first merg it everything into Single RPD then it should work.
