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

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.

Multiple Fiscal Calendars Displayed in Subject Area Time Dimension

Hi all,
Thanks for taking the time to review my post.
Environment
Oracle BI Applications 7.9.6 Financial Analytics
Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10
Query
The Time dimension on my Subject Areas (Financial Analytics) are showing more period data than I expected.
I have configured one Enterprise Calendar (WPG_Calendar) that I set in the DAC parameters - $$GBL_CALENDAR_ID (WPG_Calendar~Month) and $$GBL_DATASOURCE_NUM_ID (4). The warehouse Enterprise Calendar table W_ENT_PERIOD_D is populating with the periods as configured in EBS for that calendar(Jan-09, Feb-0, Mar-09, etc). I noticed that the Multiple Fiscal W_MCAL_PERIOD_D table is also been populated with the Enterprise Calendar data PLUS, the Seeded EBS calendar (JEBE_MONTH_VAT) and a generated Calendar that appears to be a 5-4-5-4 Calendar (Jan-01-09, Jan-02-09, Jan-03-09, etc). The trouble is these W_MCAL_PERIOD_D periods and dates are all coming through in my Time dimensions and make it confusing for the Answers Users when choosing a Time dimension.
Also, for columns W_CURRENT_MCAL_PERIOD_CODE, W_CURRENT_MCAL_QTR_CODE, W_CURRENT_MCAL_YEAR_CODE there are rows with Current, Previous and Next populated that span these different periods as you would expect, but I'm concerned these return multiple rows for Filters Current Fiscal Quater, Current Fiscal Year.
Funnily enough, W_CURRENT_MCAL_MONTH_CODE has nothing populated (NULLs for all rows).
Your comments are most welcome.
Kind Regards,
Gary.

The filtering of the calendar can be done directly on the logical layer.
for the logical dimension "Dim - Date Fiscal Calendar", Logical Table Source "Dim_W_MCAL_PERIOD_D_Fiscal_Period"
set the content as :
"Oracle Data Warehouse".Catalog.dbo.Dim_W_MCAL_PERIOD_D_Fiscal_Period.MCAL_CAL_WID = VALUEOF("MY_MCAL_WID")
and setup the repository variable MY_MCAL_WID to match with your calendar wid.
If your calendar depends on any context then you can use session variable instead of repository variable

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?

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

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.

Pick a subject area at run time and create an analysis on this subject area.

We have a requirement wherein we need to create analyses at run time. We want to give the flexibility to users to pick up a subject area on which they wish to create an analysis. This will be done through a dashboard prompt. Once the user picks up a subject area from the prompt, we will create the analyses at run time based on the selected subject area.
The problem that we are facing at this point is how to create a dynamic 'FROM' clause for the analysis. As an example, consider the following scenario:
1. There is a dashboard prompt called 'Select a DataStore'. The possible values are all the subject areas in the RPD. For simplicity, lets assume there are two values DS1 and DS2.
2. If the user selects DS1, the analysis sql should be:
select <colgroup1>, <colgroup2>
from DS1;
However, if the user selects DS2, the analysis sql should be:
select <colgroup1>, <colgroup2>
from DS2;
Hence the requirement for a dynamic FROM clause.
I tried using a presentation variable in the from clause but I get the sql syntax error.
Is there a way of implementing this requirement?

To work around the license issue, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article LICREQST.EXE Requesting a License Key from an Object and download licreqst.exe. Run licreqst.exe and find "CWUIControlsLib.CWSlide.1" under the registered controls section and click on it. The license string at the top can be passed to Licenses.Add and then you should be able to dynamically create the Measurement Studio controls. For example:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Licenses.Add "CWUIControlsLib.CWSlide.1", "[Add license string from licreqst here]"
Dim slide
Set slide = Controls.Add("CWUIControlsLib.CWSlide.1", "slide")
With slide
.Top = 120
.Width = 1215
.Visible = True
End With
End Sub
Creating controls like this would have an impact on performance since all calls are late bound. If you are using the Measurement Studio controls in a UserControl, though, you should not need to do this since the license would get compiled into the binary that contains the control. I don't think that you would have any problems creating your control since it would not be licensed.

In the presentation layer of your RPD you can set the permission for each subject area.

Meaning of (000) fields in the analytics subject areas

What is the meaning/difference between Total Liabilities and Total Liabilities (000), and all such pairs of these type of dollar fields
(Potential Revenue, Closed Revenue...)

(000) are fields which are available in Analytics subject area. If in system your total liability is 1000 then under total liability(000) it will be displayed as 1.
So, No difference practically. You can use any of these fields.
Thanks Vk

Custom Objects on Analytics Subjects Area

Aren't Custom Objects available on the Analytics Subjects Area? Are there any changes that need to be made to the Custom Objects in order to be available for Analytic reports as well? Thank you, Delora.

No, CO's are not available for analytics. You can do only real time reporting.

Need to create a job history report - what subject areas have this detail?

I need to create a report that shows all the history of an employee's job title, date changed, etc., what Subject Area provided this detail?
Employee ID, Name, Effective Date, Job Code, Job Title
Example:
123456 Smith, John 01/10/2015 90078 Customer Service Manager Promotion
123456 Smith, John 09/08/2013 90075 Customer Service Supervisor Transfer
Is there such a means to provide this?
Thank you!

Yes, but it only has one generic Date column, no start date and end date. I can't use that twice in the prompt. Although I can specify it to be 'between', but I'm not sure I can pass values to both variables like that.
Currently I have used Campaign Start Date and Campaign End Date to enter values in calender format to the variables.

Enable Project Analytics Integration with Financial Subject Areas

Guys, i know there are a few of us out there that are or have done PA implementation with Oracle Finance.
I went through the docs and found how to steps for "You can enable Oracle Financial Analytics for EBS to use dimension tables in Oracle Project Analytics."
Please see below the link to the docs
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14223_01/bia.796/e14216/anyimp_configfinance.htm#CHDCCCAJ
However, i did not see this option for the "Financials - General Ledger" subject area. I end up manually adding the option "Enable Project Dimensions" by click on the <add / remove> option for the Configuration Tags tab under the "Financials - General Ledger" subject area.
Can someone confirm that they faced the same "issue"? What action did they take? I have in the past run the loads without making this selection for all the Oracle Finance and it seemed to still bring the link between the Oracle Finance and PA.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,

General ledger facts have no link to project dimensions, i.e there is no analysis of GL data from project dimensions. Thats why you dont see it in the GL subject area. If you added it yourself and turned it on, it probably has no effect.
