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,
Satya

How to update the default date format in OBIEE 11G.

Hi All,
How to change the default date format in OBIEE 11g from the MM/DD to DD/MM. Could anyone please help me out ASAP?
Thanks,
Arpan

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
1- Stop BI Server from EM
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.

Not able to save date column with custom date format. in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have migrated one report from OBIEE 10g to 11g. There is a date column with customized date format(i.e. Default format is 'dd-MMM-yyyy' and I have used 'MMM-yyyy').
But when I use this custom format and try to save the report in 11g its giving this below error.
''Catalog object privilege validation failed for user to path /shared/ALM BI/Finacial Results/History Income Statement Detail.
You do not currently have sufficient privileges to save a report or dashboard page that contains HTML markup.
This HTML might be present in column headings, table headings, text views, narrative views, the print header,
or the print footer and must be removed before saving.''
Please let me know what changes I need to do for this.

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,
Ilmari

hello,

Oracle EBS Discoverer as a data source for OBIEE 11g

We are a heavy user of Discoverer workbooks with Oracle EBS. We're moving to OBIEE 11g(11.1.1.3) and have an RPD with both 3rd party and custom content.
I wanted to ask the experts here how I can leverage my Discoverer investment with out a lot of re-work in OBIEE. I briefly looked at the MigrateEUL.exe and it says it can move an EUL to an RPD, but talks about some limitations for complex EULs such as an EBS Apps EUL. Even if it created an RPD, I'm not sure how I can merge my current RPD and this newly gen'd RPD.
I also heard from someone that there is a way to setup Discoverer EUL as a standard data source in OBIEE 11g and consume it directly. I'm looking for a document or blog that explains these steps. Any pointers or experiences with the above is appreciated!!
Thanks.

Hi,
For some more details, you can refer to the following document;
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/discoverer/discoverer-metadata-conversion-assi-128504.pdf
My personal expreriences:
The Metadata Conversion Utility is an accellerator / assistant. It does not provide you with an end product. There is some additional handwork requiered. It could be a risk when you copy an old Oracle Discoverer environment. Shit in is shit out. Last but not least; There is not yet a workbook migration utility.

How to change date format in OBIEE

Hello
I have a need to change the date column to a varchar column in OBIEE..
The date column stores data in the format of 'YYYY/MM/DD', I need to change this to a varchar column with this format 'YYYYMM'..
Since I am pointing directly at the transactional database, I can't make any changes at the database level, so I will have to do it in OBIEE layer, any ideas how it could be done?
Many thanks in advance!

Regards,
Dev

HI Kishore
Thanks for your reply i checked all the things but with no success. do think there could be any other place where i should check .
1. nqsconfig date format
its same for both the two installations
DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mi:ss" ;
DATE_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy/mm/dd" ;
TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "hh:mi:ss" ;
2. make sure that you didn't save date format in column properties from front-end
Just checked and we havan't saved anything in column properties .. even i created new report as well but still format was same ..
3. Did you mention anything in connection pool settings to set date format.
no we havan't mention anything in connection pool
4. Make sure that you are connecting to same database, and date format set for date is same here and there
yahh both the two installatiosn are connected to same database .. but not sure about "date format set for date is same here and there
" hw i can check this
finally, check this: http://108obiee.blogspot.com/2009/04/changing-date-format-mask-in-javascript.html
no its not on one column .. its to all the date format columns on all the reports .. so i think its not case with me .
please let me know if you need more info

OBIEE 11g Analysis : Change Report edit link to go Criteria tab instead

How to change the setting to have the "Edit" to go to criteria tab instead of Results (Compond view)?
Many time we may need to change the filter from default setting and then run the report or if the filter is setup to be used from a dashboard (using "Prompted") option...then the report attmpts to run the report without values...
And I have not checked to see if the server cancels the query to the database when the user navigates to the Critetia Page as there is no cancel link...(as it displayed in 10g...)
FYI, We have just started using OBIEE 11g in a dev environment, we are in the process of configuring the new env to get ready for prod...
Thanks

Hi,
By default, the Action request is sent to results tab. You can modify it by editing the dashboardeditor.js file found in /app/res/b_mozilla/dashboards folder.
Steps:
1) Open dashboardeditor.js file.
2) Search for the function "DUIModifyReport".
3) Inside the function you will find that ***"&Action=results&Path="****
4) Change results to criteria. In other words, the changed code will look like
****"&Action=criteria&Path="*****
5) Re-deploy the code and bounce the services.
-- Remember, this will affect for entire dashboard, and for all users. ---
If you want to avoid step (5), then manually copy the changed dashboardeditor.js to /user_projects/domains/BIfoundation/servers/bi_server1/tmp/_WL_user/analytics_11.1.1/$RANDOMFOLDERNAME$/war/res/b_mozilla/dashboards and bounce the services.
Voila - now when you edit the analysis through dashboard, it will take you to the criteria tab, instead of results tab.
Please award points, if it helps.

Date Format in Oracle 11g XE

Hello everyone,
I have installed Oracle11XE and noticed that it has the following date format:
      SQL> SHOW PARAMETER NLS_DATE_FORMAT
      NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
      nls_date_format                      string      RR-MM-DD
I know that I can change the format for the session, like this:
     alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-MON-YY';
I also know that to change the system parameter I need to do the following:
     alter system set nls_date_format = 'DD-MON-YY' scope=spfile;
     then restart the database.
However, after I do the latter, the date format is still:
     SQL> select sysdate from dual;
     SYSDATE
     14-11-19
Could someone tell me why this is happening and correct this?..
Thanks.

NLS_DATE_FORMAT is set at

client OS
client oracle session.
system setting is weakest because it is over-ridden by any other setting.

Date format in OBIEE 10g Calender Control

Once date selected in Calender, it is taking Date-Time format automatically.
i.e when we select 20/01/2013 in calender and select GO button, then it takes '20/01/2013 00:00:00'. How can we change from Date-Time format to Date format only.

Default Date Format in ADF 11g RC

Dear All,
I am searching for a possibility to set a default date format pattern ("yyyy-MMM-dd") in an ADF 11g RC application.
I know that I can set this format in every entity/view object's attributes. But I am looking for a central way.
I already tried to override the javax.faces.convert.DateTimeConverter and configured it in the faces-config.xml.
But without success.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Richard

Hi,
in another post of yours I pointed you to the trinidad-config.xml file - so you may want to have a look there. Also maybe property sets can give you a helping hand

Data Wrap and data Format in OBIEE Reports

Hi
When we select few columns , the data is getting wrapped. To avoid this we had chosen "Plain Text (Without broken spaces)" available in the data format tab and it resulted in unwrapped data.But we are unable to get the same format as that of database.
Please , suggest us how can we get the same dataformat for the columns similar to the database format in reports .
Thanks.

Hi
Our requirement is not to display multiple column values in the same cell in OBIEE .
As mentioned earlier we do have a column named " Comments" . This column in database contains the data in the following format :
- Statement 1
- Statement 2
- Statement 3
- Statement 4
FOLLOW-UP:
- Statement 5
- Statement 6.
- Statement 7
Now when we create a report with this column , the data for this column in the report is as follows :
- Statement 1 - Statement 2 - Statement 3 - Statement 4 FOLLOW-UP: - Statement 5 - Statement 6 - Statement 7 .
But we do have a requirement where the dataformat for this column in the report should be same as that of the database ie., the data displayed under this column in the report should be same as it is in database as follows :
- Statement 1
- Statement 2
- Statement 3
- Statement 4
FOLLOW-UP:
- Statement 5
- Statement 6.
- Statement 7
BUT NOT AS
- Statement 1 - Statement 2 - Statement 3 - Statement 4 FOLLOW-UP: - Statement 5 - Statement 6 - Statement 7 .
Thanks.

Column data formatting in OBIEE ANSWERS

Hi,
I have a requirement of putting '-' whenever column value is NULL. I am doing this ANSWERS. I am doing this by using the below.
IFNULL(CAST("COLUMN NAME" AS CHAR),'-').
It is correctly replacing by '-' whenever data is NULL but it is also overriding default data format as Treat Text As(custom Text Format) if you look at the data format tab in the column properties. So if column has data like 23.1 it is displaying as 23.123456667777.
But I want to overwrite custom text format as number format to show as 23.1.
Please help me on this.
Thanks,
SRK

I have made a solution for you :
http://gerardnico.com/weblog/2009/04/09/how-to-mix-string-and-number-data-type-in-one-column-and-get-a-sum/
Replace the condition by your value is null in the conditional formatting and you are done.
