Customization of filter view in obiee 10g

Hi,
I have a report with chart view and filter view.
We have some implicit filters in the report(static filters).
Is it possible to hide the static filers and display only the selected prompt values(explicit filters/dynamic filters) in the filter view.
Thanks in advance.
Sankat.

Hi,
I dont know if this idea works for your requirement.
Try to have a dummy condition validate the static and the dynamic filters in the reports.
For example-
column_name less than 0
and static filters
OR
column_name greater than 1
and dynamic filters
Hope this helped/ answered

Customize Filter View in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
Is there any way to customize the filter view? My requirement is not to show formulas that are used in Analysis in the “Filter view”. All analysis that we create should go with Filter Views at the bottom and Users should not see the formulas.
Example:
Column Formula:
FILTER (sales.sales USING products.product =’Electronics’)
If I filter the above column, it shows something like this:
FILTER (sales.sales USING products.product =’Electronics’) is Prompted.
What is need to show in the filters is the Title of the column i.e. Electronics Sales.
Thanks in advance.

Eg: Name is prompted.
output of filter view would be Name is equal to xxxx
Expected change is Name = xxxx
Please suggest me how to achieve this.Waiting For the response.

Edited by: 836776 on Sep 6, 2012 3:59 AMAre you serious? The user cannot handle "Name is equal to xxxx"?? It never ceases to amaze me how much users can find something to complain about. But as an analyst, it is important to manage expectations. Remember that whatever you customize, you must document and maintain so anyone else can support your design. To me, this is a perfect example of telling the user "sorry, this can't be done," rather than try to add anything suggested earlier to try and mimic what the user wants.
This kind of change is not worth the effort to figure out... my two cents... :)

How to bold the Total A-C and its value?My version is OBIEE 10g
Thank you before
Regards
JOE

Hi Joe
In 10g
1st change the View from Compound Layout to "Tabular View"
2nd.. as you told the A-C total is needed, in the tabular view at Answers......navigate to that field/column & find Sigma (Summation Symbol) ..
3rd, by clicking on it..you will get the Totals in Bold Letters
Please mark Correct if this helps you

Can we customize the column name in filter view?

When i select filter view and select an option from the drop down, it shows the name of the column and not the variable set in the prompt.
I want to customize that name so that it does not show the column name,shows the name given by us instead.
Please Help!!!

You can't customize the filter view, play around with the narrative view instead.

Issue with PDF displaying ' (apostrophe) symbol in OBIEE 10g

Our report/dashboard bears some special characters like *'* *(apostrophe)* and they get displayed fine in normal view of OBIEE 10g. But if the same report is exported as PDF output the characters are being displayed into equivalent ASCII code For eg: *'* *(apostrophe)* is displayed as *&#39*. Is this a known bug in OBIEE 10g or is there a workaround/patch available for the same?

Hi ,
Are you using 10.1.3.4.1 .
I think 10.1.3.4.2 is more stable version for 10g and below issues are corrected in this :
Master Note For Print/Download issues In OBIEE 10g [ID 1206791.1]
Blank Page or Errors When Printing to PDF. [ID 1086844.1]
OBIEE 10.1.3.2 PDF Print Does Not Respect Defined Column Widths [ID 544941.1]
.... so just a update may help.

Filter on the reports created using DIRECT DATABASE ACCESS in obiee 10g

How do i filter on the report that is created by using DIRECT DATABASE ACCESS in obiee 10g?
I have reprot A with link to report B, report B is created using DIRECT DATABASE ACCESS. so it is just a table, but i need to filter out 2 columns.
here is the query in REPORT B:
select strm, acad_group, crse_id, class_section, count(emplid) from v_crse_enrl
group by crse_id, strm, class_section, acad_group;
the link in REPORT A:
'<a target="_blank" href="'||VALUEOF("bi_link")||'Go&Path=CF_CROSS_TEACHING_LIST&ACTION=Navigate&col1=STRM&val1='||view1_DIMEN.STRM||'&col2=CLASS_SECTION&val2='||TRIM(view1_DIMEN.CLASS_SECTION)||'">' ||view1_dimen.class_id||'</a>'
from this link to report B.
thank you!!

I didnt tested using url, but the same works with using presentation variables.
To your direct sql add where clause for those two columns like WHERE col='@{col1}' and col ='@{col2}'
and try to run from url.
let me know updates

Compound layout in View selector possible in OBIEE 10g but not in OBIEE 11

Hi!
I am Claire. I have created 3 compound layout and I wanted it to be included in my view selector. I noticed that I is not possible in BI 11g but was previously possible in Bi 10G. Kindly help me on this matter. The compound layout is not appearing in the available views in the EDIT VIEW selector Page.
Your Prompt response on this matter is highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Claire

Claire,
This is no longer possible. And actually in OBIEE 10g it was only possible in the Original Compound layout. Meaning that if you created compound layout #2 you could not leverage "Compound Layout" (the original / default one) inside of a view selector or as a view inside "Compound Layout #2".
If you look at the OBI 10g documentation you will see that it states that a Compound Layout is a "view" which can contain other views.
In the OBI 11g documentation it states that the Compound Layout is a container.

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10544/appbuir.htm#BGBIDGDA
This new nomenclature and definition is the delineating factor and the reason you can no longer achieve that functionality in the same way you did in 10g
I hope that helps.

Can we import any Materialized views (MV'S) in OBIEE 10g

Hi guys,
Could you please tell me is there any chance to import any Materialized views in OBIEE ?
I am using obiee 10g RPD.or how to create MV'S In OBIEE.?
What is use of MV in obiee?
Pls reply to this .

Hi,
Materialized view:Aggregate table are called as Materialized view/opaque View
Steps to create Materialized view/opaque View
Physical layer itself by creating view.
Right click on the your RPD physical table -> Select Properties -> from the properties windows choose 'Select' as Table type -> here you can write the SQL query.
Note:Make Sure 'Features' tab and from the available option select 'CREATE_VIEW_SUPPORTED' is checked or not. If it is not checked then check the option.

How to hide filter view calculations in answers in obiee 11g?

Hi,
I have a requirement to hide the "CASE WHEN" statements which are there in the filter view while viewing the report in Dashboard. User dont want to see the calculation part in filter view instead they just want to see the selected dashboard prompt value. For e.g
case when (column name1('column value1' IN '@{Presentation_var}' ) > 0 AND "Table name"."column name2"='column value2') or (column name1('column value1' IN '@{Presentation_var}' ) > 0 AND "Table name"."column name2"='column value2') then "table name"."column name" end
or
case when 2 statement
and
Case when 3 statement
or Case when 4 statement
therefore user wants only the bold text value(table name"."column name) to be displayed only not the calculation at front end.
I can think of Narrative view but how to do that exactly? Please help.
Thanks..

try this, It seemed to have worked for me..
Below was my case statement
(CASE WHEN '@{var_brand}' = 'Value1' and "Compl"."RecTypeId" IN (5,8,9) THEN 1
WHEN '@{var_brand}' = 'Value2' and "Compl"."RecTypeId" IN (11,12,13) THEN 1
ELSE 0 END)=1
I used it as a column in my analysis with the following formula
(CASE WHEN '@{var_brand}' = 'Value1' and "Compl"."RecTypeId" IN (5,8,9) THEN 1
WHEN '@{var_brand}' = 'Value2' and "Compl"."RecTypeId" IN (11,12,13) THEN 1
ELSE 0 END)
and I made a change to the name of the column in the analysis using custom column headings and put it as "Brand"
and now put a filter on this column and filtered it for for the value 1
and my filters view now shows the column Name "Brand" instead of the Case Statement..
See if this process works for you..

OBIEE 10G SSO Issue

HI
We have configured OBIEE 10g on IIS (ver-6) server. We have a business requirement where we need to integrate OBIEE with another ASP.NET application. So, user should log in once and to view OBIEE reports he should not log in again.
Now we have checked GO URL option given in Chapter 11 of Oracle® Business Intelligence Presentation Services Administration Guide. But problem is our company policy does not allow us to pass Password in HTTP URL. So we cannot use that solution.
We are trying to use SSO and referred to Chapter 8 of Deployment Guide. We followed all the steps give in that chapter
Also, we modified isapiconfig.xml and entered <CredentialStore> paramaters in it.
But when we Go to Analytics URL (for remote machine) Login screen show "Not Logged In" message.
currently we are using REMOTE_USER method as it is given in documention.
So we did everything by the book. Now my question is:
1) We do not have any SSO server/Product, is there is any way we can integrate OBIEE application to other ASP.Net application on another IIS SERVER? There was a suggestion that if we pass remoter_user parameter in HTTP header, is it possible to work this way.
2) Is it possible that if we host both the ASP.NET and OBIEE 10g on SAME IIS server there is way to integrate them using SSO without any SSO server again by passing remote_user HTTP header
3) What options do we have to integrate ASP.NET application and OBIEE without using SSO server itself and without using GO url method as we cannot pass password in header. Will Cookie Enabling Method can work in this scenerio.
4) Is there is way that OBIEE directly take windows ID without SSO server, I know question might sound stupid as in prerequisite i read that we need “SSO system of Choice” but we need to be absolutely sure about our option and possibilities.
we also reffered to following thread:
10g - how to configure sso with iis-
But, this one seems to be unresolved So kindly help
Regards
Saurabh

Hi Praveen,
Thanks for your response. I was doing a bit of R&D on SOAP API, tell me if i am wrong.
In case we use SOAP API to Authenticate then we will get Response in terms of XML and we have to write our own code to render it in tables or charts.
We dont want that we just want to automate the Authentication part and want to use OBIEE use Interactive Dashboards. Kindly suggest if I am wrong and if we just write a piece of Code to get the Authentication done and it will not affect the further use of OBIEE.

Saurabh

OBIEE 10g repository - Business model - logical table to physical table, column mapping is empty

Hi, I am really new to OBIEE 10g.
I already set up a SQL Server 2005 database in Physical and import a view vw_Dim_retail_branch.
The view has 3 columns: branch_id, branch_code, branch_desc.
Now I want to set up the Business model to map this physical table (view).
I created a new Business model
Added new logical table Dim_retail_branch
In the sources, added the vw_Dim_retail_branch as source table.
But in the Logical table source window, column mapping tab, it's blank. I thought it should be able to identify all the columns from vw_Dim_retail_branch, but not. The show mapped columns is ticked.
What should I do here? Manually type each column?

HI,
Just you can drag and drop the columns from physical layer to BMM layer.
Select the 3 columns and drag and drop it to the created logical column in BMM layer.

OBIEE 10g Getting wrong results when adding calculated columns to a report

Hi,
I'm experiencing a possible misbehaviour with OBIEE 10g (10.1.3.4.1).
I have a simple report with a table. Columns are simply selected from dimensions and facts. In this case the generated query is:
WITH
SAWITH0 AS (select sum(T30604.TOTAL_TIME) as c1,
sum(T30604.MATERIALS_QTT_COST) as c2,
sum(T30604.AMNT) as c3,

Results of this report / query are wrong: it seems as if some rows "disappear".
If I delete the filter in SAWITH1 query above ( D1.c13 = 1 ) results are correct.
Anyone experiencing the same problem? The strange thing is that I have a number of similar reports (on other subject areas) and everyting is working fine.
Please also note that I don't want to add this kind of calculated items in the RPD (they can be simple calculations that are made on-the-fly).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot and regards,
Cristina

I have the same issue, everything OBIEE server generate query using ROW_NUMBER() over () function, it will hardcode Dx.cx = 1, this will cause issue if you have rows of the same distinct value, thus causing missing rows and the final results will be wrong.
I have open a SR with Oracle Support since March 2011, but till today, they have not resolve the issue yet.
Hope they solve the issue soon.

Bubble chart in OBIEE 10g

Is there any way to increase the bubble size of bubble chart in obiee 10g? Like whether we can use javascript or HTML Code to achieve it?

Hi,
Thanks for reply.
But I cannot understand your point. My requirement is something different. In the X axis I have project_number and y axis I have measures like budget,commitment & incurred_cost. Now the vertical chart gives me the summarize view. Now for a particualr project say AA, I can see three vertical bars showing budget,commitment & incurred_cost. Now the requirement is if I click on budget bar it will popup a new window showing related details of budget which is a different report, if click on commitment bar it will open commitment report in another window and so on.
I am not able to implement this like multiple navigation from a bar chart.
Can you please help on how to do this in OBIEE 10g.
Thanks
Titas
