Report migration in OBIEE 11g

Hi
I am new to OBIEE 11g.
1. I want to migrate report dashboard from DEV instance to UAT instance.
2. I want to share reports to other users.
Kindly someone give me guideline to proceed.
Thanks
Krishna

Check these links.. it is more or less same as in 10g case by case.
You need to select the report/dashboards archive and unarchive using catalog manager.
If your Dev and UAT are already set with groups/roles then you suppose to do online mode so that the security settings will persist during archive and unarchive..

Migration of Crystals Reports into OBIEE

Hi,
I have to migrate Crystal Reports into OBIEE without using any third party tool.
How could it be done..any one can help me please...???

Just follow the instructions bellow:-
Reports generated automatically in the 7.5 Excel client that use the EVDRE function with a standard use of built-in parameters can be converted using the EPM add-in to a native 10.0 report.
EVDRE migration has been developed in order to migrate as many features and use cases as possible, but reports that have been heavily customized may not be totally converted automatically and may require some manual modifications. Nevertheless, the objective of the migration is to provide usable reports at the end of the migration. The exact conditions include:
o Multiple EVDRE reports in a complex arrangement or sharing some KeyRanges
o Formulas to calculate parameters
o Use of cell reference indirections to determine EVDRE parameters.
o Use of VBA to call the internal object model of the 7.5 Excel client.
o EVDRE inserted in another EVDRE.

Discoverer Reports and OBIEE

Hi,
Our Company has some Discoverer Reports and we would like to convert those reports into OBIEE. Has Oracle provided any migration or conversion utilities for this excercise? Please let us know.
Thanks and Regards,

Hello
It depends how simple your workbooks are. The more complex they are the more difficult they are to migrate and some Discoverer features will be lost during the translations. Some Discoverer features will not migrate at all.
At this moment in time, with the current state of DOMA, I am coming down on the side of starting from scratch with OBIEE. There are, in my opinion, just too many of Discoverer's nice features that will not migrate. Starting from scratch will allow you to take advantage of all that OBIEE has to offer. Migrating could limit you to what Discoverer had to offer.
You could try a migration and see how much work there is still left to do. However, before you can do that you will need to upgrade Discoverer to 10.1.2.1 at the minimum. If you have already upgraded Discoverer to 10.1.2.1 or 11g you should be able to migrate the metadata. The only supported OBIEE version at this time is 10.1.3.4.1. After you have migrated to 10.1.3.4.1 you can then upgrade it to 11g.

Discoverer Report - Multiple instance migration

Hi
We are using Discoverer 4i reports. We are using 5 Test instances. Say
DEV,DEV1,CRP1,CRP2,CRP3.
We are doing development in DEV instance and we want to migrate the same report to DEV1 instance. We needs to recreate the same report in DEV1 Instance. It is time taking and double efforts need.
We have tried below ways, but we have failed in some cases
1. Taking *.dis file and save in different database
2. Taking the export of BA and import in another instances.
Is there any software available in the market to migrate discoverer report between instances. ( Ex like Kintana for Ebusiness suite migration).
It will be helpful for me, if you have any ideas/comments/suggestion to overthis instance report migration problem.
Thanks in advance.
Navas

Hey Navas.
This seems to be something many companies wrestle with. A recent client I was at had a similar situation but absolutely, didn't want any exports / imports of the BA and all had to be manually coded in each.
Reason for this was that you had to write up detailed explanations on what you did so it could be manually copied into PROD by the DBAs and therefore, no export / import (with the exception of you didn't recreate the file system saved report obviously).
Also, I can attest (and have commented on this before), Disco 4 has seemed 'challenged' to me in the past and an export / import from one v4 EUL to another v4 EUL sometimes doesn't work exactly the same (ie: a file system saved workbook in one EUL doesn't work in a newly exported / imported BA in the other EUL. With different EULs it appears that when people make changes to each, and delete their changes, it can cause problems (ie: ids being renamed to _1, etc.) which just makes life difficult.
This is why for non-PROD instances, more times than not you just refresh the entire EUL to either your PROD instance (and apply changes you're working on again) or harmonize all test instances.

Need to Pass Active Directory Attributes into OBIEE for use in Report Query

Hi,
We're using OBIEE 11.1.1.5 and have integrated it with AD security. Users successfully log into OBIEE and BIP (which is integrated with OBIEE) using their network/AD accounts.
Next step for us is to be able to pass some AD attributes that are on the user accounts into OBIEE and BIP so we can restrict data queries for the person logged in.
I've searched the web and so far have only come up with specific steps for setting this up in BIP. Since BIP is integrated with OBIEE, we have not set any of the MSAD/LDAP security up there - it is all in OBIEE. I have been unable to find the equivalent for adding the attribute names for data query bind variables.
With our current setup, we are unable to filter the report data automatically based on who has logged into the application (analytics and BIP). We have security setup within the catalog so only certain AD groups can access objects, but beyond that we need to be able to secure the data using AD attribute information. For example, all of our users should be able to access an Open Purchase Order report, but they should only be able to see their own purchase orders - not everyone in the company.
Anyway, we're looking to be able to pass AD attributes into OBIEE so that we can use this data in our Analytics and BIP queries.
How can we get this setup?
Thank you in advance!

How to retrieve data from xml file into obiee reports

Hi all,
I've got a situation here. A xml file is stored as blob in oracle database table. Now i need to retrieve data/info from that xml file into obiee reports. How am i supposed to proceed with this ?

I will go for a table function:
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/database/oracle/table_function
In two words, you can create a function that behave as a table. Then you create a function to pick up your xml, you parse it and you send back the rows.
I know that Oracle has also a library for XML files but I never use it until now.

Running Discoverer reports into portal using SSO portal login - help

Hi,
I am trying to run disco reports into oracle portal using discoverer portlet providers -list of worksheet. What I want to achieve is as follows
1) login to portal using SSO userid /pwd - Done
2) Enable discoverer for SSO - Done
*3) Use discoverer list of worksheets to show reports into portal but want to filter the list of worksheet to currently logged in portal user. This so that users looged in only sees the reports to which they have access in discoverer - Need Help*
*4) Once user runs this report then I want to filter the discoverer data based on users login or portal group - Help*
Can someone please help with issue no 3/4 urgently.
Mant thanks
Ganesh

Hi Michael,
Assuming I have created the private connections using CAPI I still have my doubts as follows
Do I have to then login as each portal user and add the list of worksheet portlet for each user and selecting
"check the box called Display a different list of worksheets by allowing users to customize database connection and then check Show a default list of worksheets using connection, changing the connection to user's connection."
Considering we have 500+ users this will be huge cumbersom task for me.
Also when I tried to do this before loggin as each portal user when I logged in as second portal user I could see the list of worksheet portalet added by the first user which means I have to edit it but even that was not possible because it would not let me edit as only the page own whi created the portlet was allowed to edit (that is the first user)
OR
Do you have to give portal user permission to edit the page so that they can log on themselve to add the list of worksheet portlet on the page by selecting their private connection and selecting
"check the box called Display a different list of worksheets by allowing users to customize database connection and then check Show a default list of worksheets using connection, changing the connection to user's connection."
Finally I know someone has made it work using URL links and it works as follows
1) Map the portal and disco user into a table
2) Create disco private connections
3) when portal user loggs in and click on "Show my discoverer report" it then runs a PL/SQL package which in turn identifies the private connection details and creates a URL out of it as follows
[http://portal.ccm.ac.uk/discoverer/app/partialConnect?password=IRTIMUDV123_=qplus=VDUMITRI=browser_selected=connect=RELATIONAL=QPRIS=viewer]
clicking on this link open discoverer with private list of workbook/worksheet.
Please advise which way should I follow.
Thanks

How to migrate the discoverer reports using the PPM tool

Hi,
Did Any One Migrate the Discoverer Reports Using The PPM (Kintana Tool) From One Oracle Instance To The Other?
Please Help Me If Any One Knows?
Thanks,
Ankit

Hi User,
Create a new shared folder.
Provide access to all the users.
Now, ask the user who created the report in 'My Folders' to save the report in this new shared folder.
And, Delete those reports in 'My Folders'.
Now, as the report is saved in New shared folder you can access - this one.
Else--- Ask the user who created the report in my folder to make sure that it is available to all users. (Permissions - Permission should need to be provided for Administrator group)
Thank you.

How to upload reports into OBIEE

I have a zipped file containing many reports for OBIEE (ver 11.1.1.6.2).
My OBIEE is running on Linux.
They are specifically for Oracle Utilities.
How do I load them into OBIEE?
thanks

Those have not helped. But I thank you
for suggesting something.
So more information for everyone...
I have an rtf file, which is the report definition and its associated xdm file
if I log into obiee and proceed to create new report. I then select use an existing
data model. When the next popup shows, i select cancel.
at this point i am at the untitled data model screen. I select the upload rtf
on bottom left corner.
i then can browse to my folder with all report definitions, and data models
and select one.
I then select rtf in the first drop down, english in the next dropdown
and put a name in the layout name. I can then save the report into my shared
folder and save it.
Now, if i try to create new data model i dont have the option of uploading
so i have navigated to catalog then pick the folder i want my data model to go into.
I then can upload here, browse to the directory and pick the xdm file.
it does in fact upload, however it is not associated with a data model(doenst know it is)
and show up as an external binary file(hover over it once uploaded).
Does anyone know how to change the association to a data model?
or just upload a data model??
thanks in advance

Missing Discoverer reports after migrating the EUL to new Database.

Our Environment is Discoverer Relational- OLTP
We have recently migrated the source database from Oracle 9.2.0.6 to 10.2.00.0 RAC, this made us to migrate the Discoverer to new database in production.
Below are the database objects we migrated to new database.
1. EUL schema
2. Schemas referred by the Objects in the EUL (schemas containing functions, tables, views etc)
3. Based on trigger we created to filter active discoverer database accounts, migrated only active database users to new database.
Note: we had almost 4000 Discoverer users from 2005, since many of these users moved out of company or not using discoverer permanently, and there are users who used discoverer once in year or once in 6 months.
Finally we come up with 300 Active Discoverer users to be migrated to new database.
Issues: After migration
Some of the migrated users did not get their reports migrated which are shared by other users? [Since we didn’t migrate these users schemas as they are not active].
We have queried the EUL5_DOCUMENTS table in new database for a particular inactive users account (account which is not migrated) is not showing any reports owned by him.
Since we have migrated EUL schema and active users new database, is this will effect the EUL, [Information related to non active users gets deleted from the EUL in New Database]
Some users who are not figured in the active migrated list are requesting to get access to discoverer on new database. Can you please suggest the correct way to migrate these accounts.
Exporting the accounts will work?
Thanks in advance.

Hi ARS,
Please check the following item in your new database.
1. log_archive_max_processes Most properbly value set for this parameter is low ( may be it's set to 1.) Please increase up ( 4)I am curious to know what makes you think 4 is the right magic number for log_archive_max_processes - after all, he's only got one archive destination.

Please anyone help me
Thanks in advance

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the .NET Development - Crystal Reports Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with your directly.
Is there a reason why you need that much data in a one report? It will take a long time to load or browse around. I suggest you make these reports smaller for your users.
