Data visibility in OBIEE Dashboards

HI,
I have a data visibility requirement and criteria is as shown below.
we have employee hierarchy table and it is flattened data with columns below
emp name, emp num, GM name, GM num, Manager name, Manager Num.
Hierarchy is GM<Manager<Employee(lowest)
GM can see only his and HIS managers data, manager can see only his and subordinates. employee(subordinate) can see his data only.
How can I achive this?
Please explain it to me in detail.
thanks
Jay.

Jay,
If you are using 10g then in security manager>groups you can create different groups for each set of users like GM would come under GM group, managers would come under managers group and so forth.
Then in the group permissions filter you could add a custom filter based on your requirement. In this case if the data at the backend has some id specifying the hierarchy level filter based on that.
Hope I made it clear.
Cheers
Rem

  • OBIEE Dashboards are not visible properly in firefox

    HI all,
    We are trying to open our obiee dashboards in fireworx. But it didnot work properly. we are using firefox 3.0 and 2.0 version but they didnot workfor us.
    Any changes needs to be done in brower or in obiee. We are using java code in some reports also is it causing any problem. How to over come this.
    Plz letus know.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi mikelwart,
    I've noticed the same thing when I tried to throw in some custom javascript code into OBIEE. It worked fine in IE but failed in Mozilla.
    I could only assume that there are certain CSS properties in the OBIEE CSS files that Firefox is actual observing that IE fails to as well.
    What exactly is your script supposed to be doing? What is it actual doing?
    Mine was supposed to float a pivot table header line down the page, but instead, Mozilla glued the header to the bottom of the page. I'm not super CSS savvy, but my guess is there are some DIVs in the Dashboard page that are pushing my object to the bottom of the page.
    Ultimately, I'd recommend you do two things:
    1) Contact your Oracle Rep and see if you can provide you detailed documentation of all the CSS files
    2) If you can't get detailed documentation (or even if you do and it's difficult to wade through), then you may have to breakdown and dig through the CSS code yourself.
    If you do find anything out, please share. I plan on doing the same when I get some free time.
    Good luck!

  • Unable to View Data in OOTB OBIEE11g Dashboards/Reports

    Hi,
    We have installed OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0. BIAPPS, Informatica and DAC for the implementation of Oracle Business Intelligence Application 7.9.6.3 in Windows 2008 Server.
    Also completed the basic configuration of Oracle BI Repository Connections, Informatica server and Client configuration Steps and DAC configuration Steps.
    When tried to view the OOTB Dashboards in OBIEE, the reports are throwing following errors. Please suggest us a resolution to make sure the OOTB Dashboards/Reports are up and running
    Is there anything we need to do in the backend Database or something dealing with Full load using Informatica and DAC ?
    The error shows that there is table or view missing/does not exist and do we need to dump the OOTB metadata(I am not sure) to Database so that the DB will have the tables ? If yes, please suggest me the process for achieving this ?
    When tried to view the data and update the row count for a table in physical layer of the OOTB RPD, we are getting the same below message.
    We just wanted to first view the data for the OOTB Dashboards/Reports and then proceed further with actual developmental activities involving the customizations and so on.
    What configurations we need to re-check?
    The reports are throwing following TNS 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: 17010] SQL statement preparation failed. (HY000)

    Looks like RPD connection pool is not pointing to Warehouse database.
    For any connection issues
    1. Copy your tnsnames.ora to {Oracle_BI1}\network\admin directory & {oracle_common}\network\admin directory (only the former is needed as that is the ORACLE_HOME)
    2. Or instead of tnsnames.ora source entry, use the full expanded tnsnames as shown below
    (DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 172.16.66.173)(PORT = 1521))(CONNECT_DATA =(SERVER = DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)))
    OR
    Call Interface: Default (OCI 10g/11g)
    Data source Name->localhost:1521/XE

  • BI Publisher report in OBIEE Dashboard

    Hi,
    I have a BI Publisher report that consists of:
    -SQL Based Report
    -Has 2 date parameters
    This report is independent of any data source OBIEE, ie there is no repository for the data shown in the BI Publisher report.
    I need to show this report in OBIEE dashboard with parameters. The report should get a parameter from a prompt / dynamic var.
    I have understood according, there are two methods for achieving this:
    1. Create a BI Publisher Report using BI Answers report as the data source wherein the BI Answers report would have one of the column’s filter clause as “is prompted”.
    2. Create a BI Publisher Report using BI Answers/Database as data source. Create a parameter for the BI Publisher report and then match this parameter name while assigning the presentation variable for the dashboard prompt.
    But I can not implement this, because my BI Publisher report is independent of any data source OBIEE.
    There a way to solve this?
    Thanks in advance!

    When you create the parameter in Report, and embed that in BIPublisher report section, it will display the parameter in the embedded content itself.
    see, if you can make use of this.

  • Date format in OBIEE 11g is changed.

    Hi,
    we have installed 11.1.1.5 on linux x86-64bit machine. after that we upgraded the OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 rpd and catalog to OBIEE 11.1.1.5.
    everything was working fine at this stage.
    After that we did some development in 10g ... and again upgraded the rpd and catalog to 11.1.1.5 using upgrade assistant.
    but after that the date format in all the date prompts on the dashboards is changed to MM/dd/YYYY.
    How to change it back to dd/MM/YYYY?

    Hi Visal,
    Please award points it is useful the above answer.
    2. After installation the date format default : DD-MM-YYYY.
    I am not sure, I think you need install patch file in this version on your server or you need to change ALTER SESSION set NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD/MM/YYYY'.
    I though this is bug in server version.
    What server its showing this format means(Unix,Linux,AIX)?
    Award points it is useful.
    Thanks,

  • ESSBASE + OBIEE Dashboards or OBIEE ADMIN TOOL + OBIEE Dashboards.

    Hi all,
    Hi all,
    I am currently working on the proposal for a Financial BI reporting project for a company in the UK and would like to know the advantages of using ( ESSBASE + OBIEE Dashboards) solution over (OBIEE ADMIN TOOL + OBIEE Dashboards).
    As the project has complex data model the client is insisting on Essbase; will ESSBASE give me more flexibility over BI Admin tool in data modeling and cube designing?
    Appreciate your thoughts.
    Regards

    Edited by: Bees on Oct 27, 2010 9:32 AM

    Hi,
    OBIEE has infinitely superior reporting functionality to Essbase.
    Essbase is absolutely excellent if you want to give your users data input and intuitive drill features. For financial projects Essbase is excellent for budgeting, planning, forecasting etc where you want a good deal of user input on a flexible and intuitive basis for data modelling from a large end user audience.
    Essbase is a highly complimentary product for OBIEE as OBIEE fills its reporting needs, modelling Essbase cubes in the repository is brilliantly fast and Essbase' cubes create things like dimension hierarchies purely by dragging physical cubes into the business model layer.
    11g features like asymmetrical drilling, ragged hierarchies etc could have been built with Essbase in mind - and MOLAP was definitely built with Essbase in mind.
    I would recommend looking at the Oracle by Example for Hyperion (which has Essbase at its core) for a feel of what Essbase can do for you.
    regards,
    Robert.

  • Single Sign-On and Data Visibility Rights

    Hello,
    I was wondering whether anyone has any best practices for implementing single sign on and user identification with Excelsius.
    More specifically, I need to interrogate user role, and limit certain data visibility based on that role.
    For example, a sales rep may only see certain data for their own territories, but the regional and national managers can see more.
    With the emphasis in improving enterprise integration with the new version coming up, I'm also wondering if there are any improvements included for this aspect.
    Thanks in advance.
    Derick

    Hi Derick,
    I want to make our discussion into 2 parts
    1) Sign on
    2) Viewing data based on the Heirarchy
    1)Before discussing about the Sign on i want to know which connectivity you are using ? Live offcie or QaaWS.
    2) We can make the second point possible in two ways One is with providing restriction at universe level
    and the other one is through the use of flash variables.
    Using flash variables:
    The main idea of using flash variables is reading the User ID from BO authentication and based on that we fetch the Heirarchy level of that user. Then we use some excel logic to hide the data from Low level heirarchy(Here we use Dynamic Visibility for components).
    I hope this is what you ar looking for....
    If so i have more points to acheive such scenario.
    Please provide the your BO environment details, such that it will be easy to identify the better best wat to acheve it.

  • Data visibility problem in PDF file generated from R/3 system

    Hi all,
    We are converting the output of a Smartform into a PDF format. From this smart from, we receive data in OTF format, after which the required data is converted from OTF format to PDF format. Then PDF data is sent through mail using FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 as an attachment. 
    For the above mentioned Smartform, we have defined Paragraph & Character font type as 'TIMES' in smart style. But when we receive the PDF file (through mail), some data of appears in other fonts:
    1) When PDF file is generated from Development system, the different font types which are used by PDF are Arial and Times-Roman. In this case, we are able to see the PDF output and faced no major problems because both of these fonts are supported by PDF file format.
    2) When PDF file is generated from Testing system, the font types which is used by PDF is Arial. In this case, we are able to see the PDF output because this font is supported by PDF file format.
    3) When PDF file is generated from Production system, the different font types which are used by PDF are Arial, Times-Roman and PBRS. Here, we are able to see the data which is displayed in Arial font and Times-Roman font. But we are not able to see the data which is displayed in PBRS font because this type of font is not supported by PDF file format. If we copy the distorted text from PDF file and paste it in MS-Word then the required data is clearly visible and that is due to the reason that MS-Word supports PBRS font.
    But as per smart style we have used only 'TIMES' font, then why different fonts are appearing in PDF file?
    What settings are required to be done to make this data visible?
    Any pointer to solve this issue will be really appreciable. Thanks in advance for your help.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Date diff in obiee

    Hi,
    how can i calculate date difference in hours from 2 dates(timestamp) in obiee
    i.e. 02/03/1986:08:00 and 03/02/1986:0:14:00

    Hi,
    If you are having two date column and want the difference in hours then try with the below function:
    timestampdiff(SQL_TSI_HOUR, date_column1, Date_Colum2)
    or if you are having two date value in the expression itself then go with the below syntax:
    timestampdiff(SQL_TSI_HOUR, TIMESTAMP'1998/07/31 23:35:00', TIMESTAMP'2000/04/01 14:24:00')

    Hi Arpan
    OBIEE 11g is having " localedefinitions.xml " file at this Location C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\display
    in my case i installed at C:\Oracle\MIddleware.
    so

    2- Navigate to this Location C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\display. in your case oracle home will be different
    3- take a backup of this file localedefinitions.xml "
    4- modify it and save
    5- bring BI Server up.

  • Graph Data Labels in OBIEE 11g - Customizing

    Hi folks!
    Would somebody know how to select what is shown in graph data labels in OBIEE 11g?
    For example in a scatter graph data label I'd like to show the Group only (not the combination of Series, Group, X and Y, as by default). For a pie chart one can select the data shown in data labels to some extent (name / value), however couldn't find this option for scatter graph.
    After searching I could only find instructions for 10g - such as John's instructions at http://obiee101.blogspot.com.es/2008/01/obiee-xy-and-data-in-mouse-over-label.html.
    However, my understanding is that the graph engine in OBIEE 11g is now different, and the 10g instructions are not valid for 11g anymore.
    I was also having a look on the .cxml files in OBIEE 11g but those seem to relate to colors only?
    Any help appreciated, best regards,

  • Click on obiee dashboard tabs is not working

    Hi,
    One remote user using cisco vpn to access OBIEE dashboards. everything is all right but when he click on dashboard tabs is not working. I tried with firefox 3.6.0 and IE 8 both have same problem. we dont have this problem within the network. I dont think it's a firewall issue because everything else is working fine. we dont have any custom java script in obiee dashboards. Is it a browser problem? does any one else got this problem before?
    Thanks
    Jay.

    Hi Jay
    Yes Its browser issue. Please make sure the patch updates of IE are updated and i do have the same problem with IE 6 when user remotes (or) use citrix
    One more important point is we have made the dashboards available directly instead of residing in group folder. If you have Dashboards under group folder, give access to that Dashboard directly instead of Group folder
    Eg: Groupfolder A contains A1,A2,A3....A10 dashboards. Give acceess to A1,A2 instead of groupfolder A
    Please mark it Helpful or correct if this solved
