Does OBIEE 11.1.1.7 support AGO function at Week level

Hi,
I have a time dimension with Year,Quarter,Month,Week and Day Levels.
Year - 2013,2012...
Quarter- Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4
Month - 1,2,3..12
Week - 1,2,...52
Day - Date_id (20130101...(YYYYMMDD).
My Keys are : Year Level(Year_Number)
Quarter Level (Year+Quarter Number)
Month Level(Year+Month number)
Week Level(Year+Week number)
Day - Date_id(also defined as chronological keys)
I am creating a AGO(Measure,Level,1) in answers for Year and Week Level and they don't render correct results.
I started building the hierarchy with only Year and Day levels..verified the results - Looks Ok.
Similar fashion proceeded with Year,Quarter,Month and Day - Looks OK.
When I introduce Week level - All the AGO values are incorrect.
Any help on this is really appreciated.
Regards,
Swetha

Thanks Srini Veeravalli for your reply.
Yes I have verified it thoroughly.I have implemented this before on 10G for other customers and I don't feel that something is wrong with it .
I found this link on AGO Function in OBIEE 11G:
=======================================
https://forums.oracle.com/message/9323083
Does a month have always the same number of week and begin with the first day of a week ?
If it's not the case, your dimension is not good when you make a report on the week grain for a year ago for instance.
Here a check list:

============================================
OBIEE 10G/11G - How to set up the time dimension (for time series functions Ago, Todate, ...) ? | GerardNico.com …
In the above post also, Time dimension configuration for AGO/TODate ( Time series) are set up with 4 levels: Year,Quarter,Month and Day.
So Just needed a confirmation if week level shouldn't be in the hierarchy in 11.1.1.7.

Does OBIEE 10.1.3.4 support 64 bit processor AMD Opteron 8216

Hi All,
The OBIEE was installed on 64 bit processor AMD Opteron 8216, but the OBIEE installables were for 32 bit processor.
Is it that OBIEE doesnt work properly with 64 Bit processors or is this any other issue.
Help will be appreciated

AGO function in OBIEE

Hi,
I am creating a new logical column on my fact table and would like to use time series function(AGO) to compare trends a month ago. I have a time dimension too.
I am using this expression defined in the new logical column properties:
Ago("HCBF"."Workflow Fact"."Total Case Handlers" , "HCBF"."Time"."Month of Year" , 1)
I get the following error message:
[nQSError: 27009] Unresolved identifier: "HCBF"."Time"."Month of Year".
The function expression appears to be fine, month of year is numeric and total case handlers is a count.
Can anybody help resolve this error message.
Thanks

Hi,
An issue remains with the AGO function in BI Answers, when I try to run a report in answers with the new column created in the fact table I get the following error in the log file:
Query Status: Query Failed: [nQSError: 22040] To use AGO function, the storage level of the query ('[Time.Dimension Key]') must be a static level.
I am selecting month name(Filtered on May 2010) and choosing fact measures(total cases, lastmonthcases). lastmonthcases is the new logical column created using AGO function.
Does this error look familiar, there is a time dimension key in the logical time dimension table but this is not referenced in the hierarchy.
Thanks

Time series questions - how to do AGO function for prior year end

Question on how to perform the following calculation in OBIEE:
I need to create a time series calculation that will calculate a metric as of Dec prior year. For example, my users will select Mar 2010. I want to show the amount for Mar 10 as well as the amount for Dec 09. If the select Jun 10, I will show them the amount for that month as well as Dec 09.
Is there a way to do an AGO function that will give me this value? I can't use a filter calculation on my column because filter on the period will exclude these records

Thanks John. Your suggestions seems promising but I'm having issues when I tried it out. I am receiving the following error message:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 22046] To use AGO function, the query level ('Fiscal Period, Prior Fiscal Year End Date') must be a static level. (HY000)
What I did was create a new level off my Fiscal Time dimension which is a child of Total. I tried creating my AGO calculation using this level but received that error message in Asnwers. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?

Any alternative to ago function

Hello,
I am using obiee 11g.Trying to use ago function at quarter level with the date prompts as filter
instead of year prompt but somehow the data is not matching properly.
Would like to know if there is any alternative to ago function?
I just want to calcultate the count(distinct(id)) for current and previous quarter,where the report gets filtered by date fields.
The report has user column,quarter column and the currrentcount and previous count.
like
user1->Q1->10->19
user1->Q2->20->10
User3->Q1->11->26
Any help on this please?
Thanks

Hello,
Thanks for reply.
Is the grain below quarter level?
------> Calc date is below quarter level in the time dimension,Time dimesnion has FS Year(level1)->FS Quarter(level2)->Cal Date and Time key(Time key is the primary key with the combination of cal date and the pk of some other table (level3))
Does quarter exists as a field in your date dimension?
--------->Yes Fs Quarter is a field/column in the table and in the dimension
check if quarter is a chronological key, does your quarter contain year in it(2011-02)?
-------->In each level i have key defined, also in the FS Quarter i have.
In the level3 i have both the key defined as key but cal_date as pk.
Yes, Data of the qtarter is in the form 2012-01.
Do you have quarter in your report, without date field?
--------->yes, the report has FS_qtr,count for current qtr,count for previous qtr using ago function
and the filter used is cal_date>='01-JUN-11'
facts->
There is a view in the database which is being created for time dimesnion.
The view has
FS_Year , FS_Qtr , Calc_Date ,Cal_month , cal_qtr, TimeKey(PK) , Pk_from someother_table_acting_as_fk.
Please let me know where i am going wrong?
One more thing i would like to add if i use the filter as FS_YEAR>=2011 then the counts comes perfectly.Problem is with cal date field.Just not bale to understnd where i am i going wrong?
Please help
Thanks

On the AGO Function need to Create TODATE function with Diff levels - MTD,Q

Hi All,
My Basic Requirement is to Create Time Series Function on AAA ie ( Month To Date , Quarter To Date and Year To Date )
The Logic for the AAA = XXX / Previous 3 Months Revenue.
we know that we can use the AGO Function to create Previous 3 months Revenue with Month is Level . But the issue is .... i cant use AGO function since i need to perform Year to Date, QTD and MTD upon 'AAA' this OBIEE doesn't permit to use nested time series functions upon varying levels .
So How can i Resolve the issue ie creation of TODATE function on the AGO Function with Diff levels
Thanks,
Swapna S

hi,
for your requirement create three repository variables like
for previous 3 months create repository variable like
select to_char(sysdate,'yyyymm') -3 from dual;
for month to date first calculate first day of the month
select To_Char(Add_Months(Last_Day(Sysdate),-1) + 1,'MM/DD/YYYY') from dual;
after put a filter in answers date between first date of the present month and current date
create the same thing for year to date
calculate first date in the year like following query
select To_Char(Trunc(Sysdate,'YEAR'),'MM/DD/YYYY') from dual;
after that apply filter date b/w first date in the year and current date
i hope it works for your scenario

Using the Ago Function

Hi,
I have a time dimension with levels AllTime, Year, Month, Week, Day. I set the chronological key to the day and created an Ago Measure in my fact. The repository global consistency was successful. However when I used it in answers, I got the following error message:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 22040] To use AGO function, the storage level of the query ('[DIM_DATE.DIMENSION_KEY]') must be a static level. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT DIM_DATE.CALENDAR_YEAR_NAME saw_0, F_TEST.MEASURE saw_1, F_TEST.YearAgoMeasures saw_2 FROM WMS ORDER BY saw_0
Does anyone have any idea please? Note that the DIM_DATE.DIMENSION_KEY is the primary key of the time dimension table.
Thanks a lot
Marija

Hi Wildmight,
I restarted everything and got the "must be a static level. (HY000)" error fixed. Then I checked the chronological key in the level "year" but it seems not to be working. It's taking a long long time to show the results (I finally cancel it).
Reviewing the nqquery log file, I don't really get how obi retrieves the todate info, it uses the analytic function: ROW_NUMBER() OVER (partition by....), do you get the same?
Thanks again.

Substr("Fin Account".ASSET_NUM, 1, instr(Fin Account".ASSET_NUM, ':')+1)
or
Substr("Fin Account".ASSET_NUM, instr(Fin Account".ASSET_NUM, ':')+1,50)
i think you should use 3 parameters, did you try that if it would work?
additionally check what is the default format of your data: go to column properties -> data format; if its text then ok; otherwise you will have to cast the number to char; in such a case the above could be:
Substr(cast("Fin Account".ASSET_NUM as char(20)), 1, instr(cast(Fin Account".ASSET_NUM as char(20)), ':')+1)
or
Substr(cast("Fin Account".ASSET_NUM as char(20)), instr(cast(Fin Account".ASSET_NUM as char(20)), ':')+1,50)

AGO Function in Times Hirerachy

Hi Guys
i am able to create multiple hirerachy in time dimension and assigned time_id as chronological key which is at the dimension detail level and acting as shared child level for both of them......
I have created AGO function for calendar year as
AGO(Test."Fact".amount_sold, Test."Time Dim"."Calendar Year", 1)
but when i have used AGO column in answers i am getting below mentioned error:-
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 22046] To use AGO function, the query level ('Calendar Year, Fiscal Year') must be a static level. (HY000)
any suggestion would be appreciated to solve this.
thanks & regards

Split your time dimension in one for calculations and one for "regular" use.

Ago function Error

Hi
I'm trying to use the 'AGO' function to have The sales of one year ago
My time dimension is a normal table imported from the database and has one hierarchy:
Year Level
--Week Level
I defined the week date as a chronological key and made a the new calculated column:
AGO(salesMeasure, DWH_TIME_DIM.WEEKS, 12)
Then In Aswer I get This Error
*[NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 22040] To use AGO function, the storage level of the query ('[DWH_TIME_D.Dimension Key]') must be a static level. (HY000)*
Any one knows why???
Regards

Naresh
I don't see any *(use existing columns as source)* In the creation window of the repository variable I only have a default Initializer.
What I manged to do also is to write this formula in the default initializer : ADD_MONTHS("orcl".."DWH"."DWH_TIME_D"."YEARIW_TIMEDATE" ,-12)and after to use it in a new calculated column with your expression :
case when times.year=valueof(previousyear) then salescolumn end
But I had a syntax error I think I can't use Add_months for this.

Does ago function works at day level in obiee 11g

Hi,
I want to know does AGO function works well at day level in Obiee 11.1.1.6 .
Edited by: user12635494 on May 8, 2012 2:58 AM

Yes, it will work. Just double click the Time level (say year/month/week), mark it as a chronological key (on keys tab). Use that in your AGO function

Does obiee 11g supports XSL format

Dears,
Does Obiee 11g supports XSL style sheet files? Some of the legacy reports are using data which are pulled from the database and formatted via XSL and some are generated from XML/XSL files?
I have looked at XML connection pool, it only supports importing XML format as source file.May be I am wrong? I do not have great hands on BI publisher.
Thanks,
Uday

Hi Uday,
If I understand correctly, XSLT is mostly about parsing through the XML and presenting it to the user in some format with colors,fonts etc (Just like CSS).
So in case of OBI,
1.It can read the data from the source XML documents itself (Doing the job like of XSL Parser)
2. Present to the users in the format you need (Doing the job of XSL Renderer).
So, you just give BI the source data in the form of XML, design the metadata as per your business needs and the OBI Presentation Services component can do the job of presenting.
Hope this gives you some idea of BI just working like XSL.
Thank you,
Dhar
