Hi,
You can use RSUM(Measure_Column).

Sum Aggregation Error in Physical & BMM Layer in OBIEE 11g with Essbase 11

Hi everyone,
I'm using OBIEE 11g with Essbase 11 as the data source. I'm using Sample Basic database from the Essbase as my data source. If I'm using the hierarchy for the measures (so I don't flatten the measures), and when I changed the aggregation in both physical and BMM layer from Aggregate_External to Sum, I can't create a report at all from the Answers.
Does anyone encounter the same thing? Any ideas/solution about this? Please help.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Deepak,
When I picked the "Basic - measure" alone, I got this error.
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 96002] Essbase Error: Unknown Member Basic - measure used in query (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT 0 s_0, "Sample Basic"."Basic"."Basic - measure" s_1 FROM "Sample Basic".
When I picked the "Gen1,Measures" alone from the measure dimension, I got this error:
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 46008] Internal error: File server\Query\Optimizer\ServiceInterfaceMgr\SIMDB\Src\SQOIMDXGeneratorGeneric.cpp, line 2610. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT 0 s_0, "Sample Basic"."Measures"."Gen1,Measures" s_1, SORTKEY("Sample Basic"."Measures"."Gen1,Measures") s_2 FROM "Sample Basic"
But when I queried the dimensions one by one (only single dimension each), no error was shown.
This only happens if I use Sum in the physical and BMM layer. If I use External_Aggregation, these errors do not happen. And if I flatten the measures, these errors also do not happen.

OBIEE 11g Report-When drilling down to lower level, totals are not matching

Hi All,
I am creating a report in Analytics 7.9.6.3 , OBIEE 11g - Let’s say Budget Cost/Actual Cost based on the Date Dimension
Have selected the Fiscal Year Dim, Fact Budget Cost, Fact Actual Cost
FY BCost ACost
2011 100 120
2012 150 140
Total 250 260
But here when I am drilling down from Year to Quarter and Period - The values are not matching with the totals....
FY FY Qrt BCost ACost
2011 2011 Q1 80 100
2011 Q2 100 90
2011 Q3 110 120
2011 Q4 90 130
Total 380 440
Fiscal Year, Fiscal Quarter Budget Cost and Actual Cost are not returning correct results – When selecting cost's by fiscal year, or filtering on a specific fiscal year, the amount returned does not equal the fiscal year total;
when I am drilling down to Quarter and Period Level the BCost & ACosts are bumping the Numbers as above and not matching with totals
Any suggestions?

Check out the query in both the times.Execute against database and try to sum the data for quarter/period and compare it with Year data.
Just try to differentiate is it a report total that is getting wrong or the data in the database table itself is getting wrong stored.
Mark as helpful if it helps.

Dynamically Aggregations Selection during runtime in OBIEE 11g

Can anyone help me how to choose aggregations dynamically in OBIEE 11g while runtime.
Say i have SUM and AVG as two aggregations, and depending on any one of selection my column total should vary.
I acheived this using Variable prompt, but i want it as a drop down and just by toggling between the two my report should change with out using go / apply button.
I tried and came to conclusion that these are static text and doesn't have any database value it can't be showed as dropdown.
Thanks,
Swathi

shud be simple...Simply Create 2 Pivot Views for same Criteria in Single report and perform SUM and AVG for each. Now use View Selector to toggle between two Pivot to get SUM and AVG reports.

OBIEE 11g Issue with "group by"

Hello,
I have issues with the physical queries generated by OBIEE engine.
All the facts are at detailed granular level. when I query the table, group by clause is excluded from the query. following is the sample query generated by OBIEE 11g engine.
select 0 as c1,
D1.c2 as c2,
D1.c1 as c3,
D2.c3 as c4,
D2.c2 as c5,
D2.c1 as c6
from
(select distinct T48494.SMBL as c1,
T48494.EXP_DT as c2
from
VW_CONTRACT_DETAILS T48494
where ( T48494.EXP_DT in (TO_DATE('2012-09-03 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), TO_DATE('2012-09-19 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')) )
) D1,
(select sum(T48494.TRADED_VOL) as c1,
sum(T48494.TRADED_VAL) as c2,
sum(T48494.TOTAL_TRADES) as c3
from
VW_CONTRACT_DETAILS T48494
where ( T48494.EXP_DT in (TO_DATE('2012-09-03 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), TO_DATE('2012-09-19 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')) )
) D2
order by c3, c2
I'm getting similar kind of issues(exclusion of group by from query) even when i query other fact tables as well. Is there any global change to be made?
Regards,
Kishore

Does it mean you are expecting a group by on
D1.c1, D1.c2?
So query should like
select 0 as c1,
D1.c2 as c2,
D1.c1 as c3,
D2.c3 as c4,
D2.c2 as c5,
D2.c1 as c6
from
(select distinct T48494.SMBL as c1,
T48494.EXP_DT as c2
from
VW_CONTRACT_DETAILS T48494
where ( T48494.EXP_DT in (TO_DATE('2012-09-03 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), TO_DATE('2012-09-19 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')) )
) D1,
(select sum(T48494.TRADED_VOL) as c1,
sum(T48494.TRADED_VAL) as c2,
sum(T48494.TOTAL_TRADES) as c3
from
VW_CONTRACT_DETAILS T48494
where ( T48494.EXP_DT in (TO_DATE('2012-09-03 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), TO_DATE('2012-09-19 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')) )
) D2
group by c3, c2 ---> added line
order by c3, c2

Data level Security issue in obiee 11g

Hi,
We are trying to implement data level security, let me explain the issue
The requirement is, we have 7 schools and each school has one principle , there will be a Superdintent who has 3 schools under him. so now when each principle logs in to dashboard we have a prompt for school i.e Name of school in that prompt he should see only his school and even the data of that school only which are assigned to him, now when Superdintent logs in he should see all 3 schools in the prompt and data. I have gone through this link (http://www.rittmanmead.com/2012/03/obiee-11g-security-week-row-level-security/) but could not achieve.
We are able to achieve by writing SQL in BMM layer ( LTS Table) so where ever the table is used in dashboards the security is being applied and we are able to see what we want. We want to achieve this by application role, But when we are creating session variables and applying on Application Role its not working. We want to achieve this by using Application role because suppose in other dashboards when the table is not used or pulled in, it will not work.But if we do it using application role its applies to all dashboards and data is resticted. so that when principle or Superdintent logs in automatically its restricts the data.
Below is the SQL which we used in BMM LTS, its working fine. But when the same SQL is applied in Application Role it's not working.
SQL used in session variable -
select 'SCHOOL_CD1', school_cd1 from w_staff_d where empl_id ='VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.USER)'
and job_desc1 = 'Principal High School - KPI'
Any suggestions please ??
Thanks,
VRP

Hi,
I pasted the log view below by applying SET VARIABLE LOGLEVEL=2, DISABLE_CACHE_HIT=1;, ran this report by applying SQL in Session variable. Let me know if you want anything -

Using CASE WHEN for Essbase column in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I have a business model in OBIEE 11g, taking the source from Essbase 11. The measures of the Essbase cube in the physical layer is flattened, and the aggregations for the measures are set to SUM.
The Product dimension has 5 generations. In Product logical table, I created a logical column called "Product Grouping" using a simple CASE WHEN formula:
CASE
WHEN "TEST"."Product"."Gen5,Product" IN ('100-10', '100-20', '200-10', '300-10') THEN 'Group 1'
WHEN "TEST"."Product"."Gen5,Product" IN ('100-30', '200-20') THEN 'Group 2'
ELSE 'Group 3'
END
Problems:
1. If I don't place this "Product Grouping" in the logical level/hierarchy, I got error in the report when I simply show Product Grouping and a measure.
2. If I place this "Product Grouping" in the logical level/hierarchy (on the 5th level), no more error in the report when I simply show "Product Grouping" and a measure. The measure value also shows the correct SUM (group by). However, when I add "Gen1,Product" the "Product Grouping" and the measure value suddenly becomes not grouped by.
Has anyone ever tried and encountered something like this? Any thoughts?
Thank you very much!

Hi Deepak, thansk for the suggestion.
However, I can't use calculated item for this report because:
1. incorrect result will be shown when my measures involve a formula to derive a percentage value.
2. calculated item is not available if we do "combine requests" (or union) in 11g.
Any thoughts anyone on how to solve this? Is this just me, or it's a bug?
Thank you very much.

OBIEE 11g performance problem

Hi,
I am facing a performance problem in OBIEE 11g. When I run the query taking from nqquery.log in database, it is giving me the result within few seconds. But In the OBIEE Answers the query runs forever not showing any data.
Attaching the query below.
Please help to solve.
Thanks

Hi Titas,
with such problems typically, at least for me, the cause turns out to be something simple and embarrassing like:
- I am connected to another database,
- The database is right but I have made some manual adjustments without committing them,
- I have got the wrong query from the query log,
- I have got the right query but my request is based on multiple queries.
Do other OBIEE reports work fine?
Have you tried removing columns one by one to see whether it makes a difference?

OBIEE 11g - serious problem when rotating columns into "table prompt" area

Hi, I'm hitting an OBIEE 11g issue that's causing huge problems on reports. Essentially, the problem is this - if I dump all the columns of a query to a table, everything looks fine. But if I rotate one of the columns into the "table prompts" area, OBIEE is actually resubmitting a WRONG query. The query format changes from:
WITH
SAWITH0 AS (select sum(T38965.ORIGINAL_BUDGET) as c1,

I completely do not understand what is going on here. The second query has a ton of problems. First off, it's doing some type of UNION operation - no idea why it's doing that. And the real problem is that it's unioning results from a different fact table, FACT_LEDGER_period instead of FACT_LEDGER_ytd, which is completely screwing up our results.
Long and short, I simply don't understand at all why the query should change just from rotating a column up into the table prompt area.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,
I see the query to be valid with each CTE doing the following Jobs.....
1. I understand that this particular query is being generated to get the unique "ORG_ID_DESC " to fill up the table prompts.
SAWITH0 AS (select distinct T12637.ORG_ID_DESC as c1
from
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNT T12582,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ORG T12637,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNTING_PERIOD T12597,
GL_ANALYTICS.FACT_LEDGER T38927 / FACT_LEDGER_period /
where ( T12582.ACCOUNT_KEY = T38927.ACCOUNT_KEY and T12597.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD = T38927.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD and T12597.FISCAL_YEAR = T38927.FISCAL_YEAR and T12582.STATEMENT_TYPE_CODE = 'Income Statement' and T12597.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD = 11 and T12597.FISCAL_YEAR = 2012 and T12637.ORG_KEY = T38927.ORG_KEY and T38927.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD = 11 and T38927.FISCAL_YEAR = 2012 and (T12637.DEPARTMENT_CODE_DESC in ('D0200 - Arts Administration', 'D0206 - Film Studies')) ) )
2. This particular query is to get each prompt value and its corresponding data
SAWITH1 AS (select sum(T38965.ORIGINAL_BUDGET) as c1,
T12637.ORG_ID_DESC as c2
from
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNT T12582,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ORG T12637,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNTING_PERIOD T12597,
GL_ANALYTICS.FACT_LEDGER T38965 / FACT_LEDGER_ytd /
where ( T12582.ACCOUNT_KEY = T38965.ACCOUNT_KEY and T12582.STATEMENT_TYPE_CODE = 'Income Statement' and T12597.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD = 11 and T12597.FISCAL_YEAR = T38965.FISCAL_YEAR and T12597.FISCAL_YEAR = 2012 and T12637.ORG_KEY = T38965.ORG_KEY and T38965.FISCAL_YEAR = 2012 and (T12637.DEPARTMENT_CODE_DESC in ('D0200 - Arts Administration', 'D0206 - Film Studies')) and T12597.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD >= T38965.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD )
group by T12637.ORG_ID_DESC)
3. This particular query, I understand is to get the following data (Sample data) relating the prompts and their corresponding data
column (c1) ;column (c2 ie ORG_ID_DESC); column(C3 ie sum(T38965.ORIGINAL_BUDGET))
0;               ORG_ID_DESC1; NULL
1;               ORG_ID_DESC1;10
0;               ORG_ID_DESC2;NULL
1;               ORG_ID_DESC2;40
0;               ORG_ID_DESC3;NULL
1;               ORG_ID_DESC3;29.8
SAWITH2 AS ((select distinct 0 as c1,
D1.c1 as c2,
cast(NULL as DOUBLE PRECISION ) as c3
from
SAWITH0 D1
union all
select distinct 1 as c1,
D1.c2 as c2,
D1.c1 as c3
from
SAWITH1 D1))
4. The last select statement does nothing but selecting the needed data which later gets arranged in the format as needed by the OBIPS
select D1.c1 as c1, D1.c2 as c2, D1.c3 as c3 from ( select D1.c1 as c1,
D1.c2 as c2,
D1.c3 as c3
from
SAWITH2 D1
order by c1, c2 ) D1 where rownum <= 65001
Now, on the table being chosen for picking up "ORG_ID_DESC" might be pretty much depending on the best source available as you know. If you would like BI Server to pick up any particular source, probably you could try the "LTS Priority Group" way.
Hope I was clear and it helps.
Thank you,

OBIEE 11G Calculation the Correct Way

Hi All,
My requirement is like this that I want to calculate value Gross Profit which is simple Total Revenue - Total Expense. Now I want this to act as a Hierarchy i.e Gross Profit should be drill able to Total Revenue followed by Total Expenses. For this I created a Accounts Dimension table since no Drill Down facility is available on Fact Table(Therefore I had to move my Accounts to Dimension table rather than Fact Table). Now the problem is that there is no minus based aggregation present in OBIEE BMM layer because of which my all other sum based aggregation work correctly except where there is a negative based aggregation required like in the case of Gross Profit. Kindly Suggest what is the correct way to approach this problem. I am working on OBIEE 11g in this case.
Warm Regards
Abhishek Kapoor

Financial reporting is difficult in BI because of the user preference of how to see signs on different accounts and requirements for adding/subtracting depending on the type of account.
A few ways to approach:
a. Use case statement to make total rev and total expense columns. Subtract to build a gross profit column. You can do this in the presentation services front end or the BMM.
b. If you have opposite natural signs for rev and exp, you can create an account hierarchy in the account table which will net out to gross profit. Ex:
Column 1 – account number
Column 2 – hierarchy level 1, ex Gross Profit
Column 3 – hierarchy level 2, ex Rev or exp
Column 4 – account name
Etc…
c. Remember you can always build your own drilldown using navigation links to a report instead of the built-in drilldown.
Good luck!

Selection Steps greyed out for a Union Query - OBIEE 11g

Hello,
I did some research and could not find possible solution/explanation for the issue I am facing.
For one of the report which is based on Union of 3 queries in OBIEE 11g, I recently added a calculated item which now I would like to remove. The best way to achieve this was by removing respective step in selection steps.
However I could not see complete list of steps in this Union report and also cannot modify or remove the selection step for calculated item (2 below). Also Selection steps on task bar is by default greyed out
Below is what I see when I select selection steps
1. Start with all members
2. Then Add Average
Any ideas or workaround.
Thank you,
Sai

Different calculation on each column in table in obiee 11g report??

Hi ,
I have to display values in a table for measures in obiee 11g report which should hold different calculation on each column. For ex:
Result 1:
Flag Display   Transaction Amount
C      'A'                 2              3
C      'B'                 3               0
       SubTotal1            5             3
Result 2:
Flag Display   Transaction Amount
H      'C'                 2              11
H      'D'                  0              0
       SubTotal2          2             11
Result 3:
Flag Display   Transaction Amount
H      'C'                 1              0
H      'D'                  1            0
       SubTotal3          2            0
Final Result:(Transaction shd hold :-subtotal1-subtal2 , Amount should hold:-subtotal1-subtal2+subtota3)
Flag   Display               Transaction         Amount
C    'total tran(1-2)              3                     8
       Total Amnt(1-2+3)'
Please help me how can i achieve this ... ??? I am new to OBIEE 11g.
Thanks,
Pavi

There are a few things I cannot understand; I'm assuming Transaction and Amount are fact columns. Then how do they have different values for the same values of Flag and Display ??
Anyway, sub total can be achieved by going to edit view for the table and from columns and measures area under the Layout pane click on the summation icon and select After. This will automatically display a grand total value at the bottom of each fact column.
Now, to get the final result, say Total Transaction you can add a dummy column and edit its formula.
     Total Transaction = trans_subtotal1 - trans_subtotal2 and
     Total Amount = amt_subtotal1 - amt_subtotal2 + amt_subtotal3
     Now if we could say that trans_subtotal1 is the total of transaction value when Flag = 'C' or something like that then you can get this value of subtotal1 by using the formula FILTER(SUM("Subject Area"."Folder".Transaction Column") USING (DESCRIPTOR_IDOF("Subject Area"."Folder"."Flag column") = 'C')). Similarly we can obtain subtotal2 and subtract them to get the total transaction value. But I am sure if we can do this because for the same values of Flag and Display, Transaction has different values. But by using the above formula, the values we obtain for subtotals 2 and 3 will be the same. So calculating Total Amount would be a problem.
The above formula is obtained by going to edit formula and selecting the filter option at the bottom of the edit dialog box.
Hope I made my point clear

Column Sorting and Rowspanning not working in OBIEE 11g (worked in OBI 10)

Hi all,
i have a report with columns like this:
Customer Nbr. | Customer Name | Salesorder | EBIT | EBIT (Total p. Customer)
In the table view i have a total sum line at customer level.
The column "EBIT (Total p. Customer)" is an Aggregate with Formula (SUM(Invoices.Ebit) BY Customer."Customer Nbr.") which is exactly the same value as in the report sum line (column EBIT).
This Aggregate colum is only for sorting purposes and is hidden in the view.
The business case is:
"We want to see the EBIT per Salesorder for each customer, sorted from worst to best customer.
So i sorted by "EBIT (Total p. Customer)" ascending in criteria tab and adviced answers to show the sum for each customer (column customer nbr.) in the table definition view.
OBIEE 10 behaviour: Answers shows all customers sorted by EBIT (Total p. Customer), i see one line for each salesorder, the customer columns are rowspanned over all salesorder lines and there is exactly on sum line after each customer.
OBIEE 11 behaviour: Answers shows all customers sorted by EBIT (Total p. Customer), i see one line for each salesorder BUT there is one sum line after each salesorder too. So there is no sum at customer level but on salesorder level
Any idea how to solve this?
BTW:
1.) I still tried to place this column as the first (left) column in the report to get the right sorting ... with no success.
2.) Sorting data at BI Server level is NO option since there are some other reports with different sorting requirements
While searching in "Oracle Support" i found document ID: 1371247.1 "OBIEE 11g: How To Apply a Custom Sort in Answers" which says "... The functionality to custom sort in Answers does not currently exist There is an enhancement request for this functionality. For more information, see Bug 13261597 - be able to apply a custom sort in answers ..."

Did you ever get an answer to your question? We are seeing the same issue.

OBIEE 11g Performance Tuning

Has anyone seen a guide for tuning BI 11g? I have not been able to find a whole lot.

Hi All,
I am an Oracle DBA, recently in out TEST servers we have upgraded OBIEE from 10g to 11g. Actually we have installed OBIEE 11g on a separate server.
The Data source is Oracle 10.2.0.4 and it is unchanged.
Some reports are taking almost 60% extra time to run from the 11g OBIEE server. As I said earlier, the DB is same and both the OBI servers are accessing same DB.
Being a DBA I am not much confident in OBI, but I need to tune the OBIEE 11g or at least need to find the root cause for the performance degradation in OBI 11g.
I have made use of STAR TRANSFORMATION and that has reduced time in both reports from OBI 10g and 11g, but still 11g is taking around 60 - 70% time more.
Can anybody give me the possible areas to look into in OBIEE?
From the answers above, I have decided to compare the parameters in NQSCONFIG.INI file.
The reports are running queries like the following:
select <columns> from
(select <columns>, RN
from
(select sum(case when T96804.CALL_IND = 1 then T96804.NUM_CT end ) as c1,

Modelling 2 Fact Tables with Non-Conforming Dimension in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I have two fact tables (Fact 1 and Fact 2) and two dimension tables (Product and Rule). The Product dimension table is a conforming dimension and is used in both fact tables, but the Rule dimension is a non-conforming dimension which is used only one fact table. I'm using OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.6.0).
====
Fact 1
====
Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status
S001 | P001 | 100 | bla bla bla bla bla | N
S001 | P002 | 200 | bla bla bla bla bla | N
S002 | P001 | 200 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y
S002 | P003 | 250 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y
Notes for Fact 1:
- One Sales ID can have multiple Product IDs
- Sales Description and Sales Status are the same for one Sales ID (repeating Sales Description and Sales Status for the same Sales ID)
====
Fact 2
====
Sales ID | Product ID | Rule ID | Score
S001 | P001 | R001 | 2
S001 | P001 | R002 | 3
S001 | P002 | R003 | 1
S002 | P001 | R003 | 1
S002 | P003 | R002 | 2
S002 | P003 | R004 | 5
Notes for Fact 2:
- One combination of Sales ID and Product ID can have multiple Rule ID
I'm wondering how best to model these tables so that I can create this report (number of the dimension and fact tables created in the business model, level mapping, aggregation rule, etc)? Any suggestion/advice on how to achieve this?
Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status | Rule ID | Score
S001 | P001 | 100 | bla bla bla bla bla | N | R001 | 2
S001 | P001 | 100 | bla bla bla bla bla | N | R002 | 3
S001 | P002 | 200 | bla bla bla bla bla | N | R003 | 1
S002 | P001 | 200 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y | R003 | 1
S002 | P003 | 250 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y | R002 | 2
S002 | P003 | 250 | lab lab lab lab lab | Y | R004 | 5
Thank you very much!

Hi Dhar, thanks for the suggestions.
I tested what you suggested, but the result is not as per my expectation mentioned above. Here's what I did:
1. In physical layer:
- I joined Fact 1 table with Product dimension table only
- I joined Fact 2 table with Product and Rule dimension tables
2. In business model layer:
- I created 3 logical tables: Fact, Product, and Rule
- The Product table contains the Product ID and Product Name from the Product dimension table in the physical layer
- I created the hierarchy (logical dimension) for Product with only ProductTotal level (as the grand total level) and ProductDetail level that contains Product ID and Product Name
- The Rule table contains the Rule ID and Rule Name from the Rule dimension table in the physical layer
- I created the hierarchy (logical dimension) for Rule with only RuleTotal level (as the grand total level) and RuleDetail level that contains Rule ID and Rule Name
- The Fact table contains 2 logical tables sources: Fact 1 (which logical level in the Content tab is mapped to ProductDetail and RuleTotal) and Fact 2 (which logical level in the Content tab is mapped to ProductDetail and RuleDetail)
- The Fact table contains Sales ID logical column (mapped to both Fact 1 and Fact 2 logical table sources)
- The Fact table also contains Sales Description and Sales Status logical columns (mapped to only Fact 1), which aggregation rule is the default to None
- The Fact table also contains Quantity logical column (mapped to only Fact 1), which aggregation rule is set to Sum
- The Fact table also contains Score logical column (mapped to only Fact 2), which aggregation rule is set to Sum
OBIEE returns the expected result when I retrieve the report:
Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status
However, OBIEE returns an error when I retrieve the reports:
Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status | Rule ID
or
Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status | Rule ID | Score
The error is:
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 14020] None of the fact tables are compatible with the query request FACT.SALES_STATUS. (HY000)
And the Score column is blank when I retrieved this report:
Sales ID | Product ID | Quantity | Sales Description | Sales Status | Score
Any suggestion anyone? Please help. Thanks a lot!
