Hi..
Referring to Error:Unable to read the Writeback template the XML would be .. in the following way.. don't use.. COMMIT statement
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Write back in OBIEE 11g : unable to check "enable write back"

Hi all!
I have a table on presentation, i want to make a table in analysis with function "Write back". But in criteria, when i choose "column properties" --> "write back" tab --> i can not check "Enable write back". I have granted privileges "write back" to user
Please tell me how to configure to make it.
Thanks so much.
Edited by: OBIEE.vn on Jan 6, 2011 7:54 PM

Guys,
In OBIEE 11g You need to make sure that you mark the logical columns in your Repository RPD as "Writeable". Otherwise the ability to write to these columns is not allowed for WriteBack functionality.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Problem enabling Write Back

I am having a problem getting the INSERT statement to execute in my writeback setup.
I am trying to set this up on the standard EMP table. I created an additional table to store writeback comments related to the EMP table. The Write Back table has columns EMP_ID, USER (from BI), DATE, and COMMENTS.
My problem is that if I try to enter comments for an employee where the comments is already blank, it doesn't process the insert statement I specified, it tries to run the UPDATE statement. I verified this in NQQuery.log.
Out of curiosity, I manually entered a record into the write back table and tried to change the value in my write back field in BI, and it worked - because it's only looking at the update statement for some reason, so that part is fine. It just seems to be completely ignoring the insert statement.
I tried to remove the UPDATE statement to see if it would recognize my insert statement, but it gave an error when I tried that:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27024] The EXECUTE PHYSICAL statement must specify a physical SQL statement to execute. (HY000)
Here is my XML template for writeback:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1">
     <WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
          <WebMessage name="SetEmpComments">
               <XML>
                    <writeBack connectionPool="Writeback Connection Pool">
                         <insert>INSERT INTO EMP_WB_TEST
                         VALUES('@{c3}',SYSDATE,'@{c4}','@{c1}')</insert>
                         <update>UPDATE EMP_WB_TEST SET dt_crte=SYSDATE, user_name='@{c4}', comments='@{c1}' WHERE empno='@{c3}'</update>
                    </writeBack>
               </XML>
          </WebMessage>
     </WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>

Just a wild quess - are your values listed in the order corresponding to the columns order in the write back table ?
What if you rewrite your insert as
<insert>INSERT INTO EMP_WB_TEST(empno,dt_crte,user_name,comments)
VALUES('@{c3}',SYSDATE,'@{c4}','@{c1}')</insert>?
Best regards

Can we enable write back option , for excel as source?

Hi All,
Is it possible to updated an excel using write back , if so please help me how do i need to proceed with.
Regards,
Som

Assume that you have an excel workbook with one sheet called for instance "MySheet" that you want to insert/update on one column called "MyValue".
If you want to insert then the sql is :
INSERT INTO [MySheet$] (MyValue) VALUES (@{c0})but you can't DELETE or UPDATE. See this microsoft article :

11g write-back drop down box

Hi, I have enabled write back in OBIEE 11g dashboard. I would like to know if it is possible to create a drop down box within the write-back enabled column?

I realize this is a very old thread, but I was hoping there was a way to do this.
I would like to enable write-back to an a table we use to track running processes. I would like to be able to update the status to either 'COMPLETE' or 'INCOMPLETE'. The programs can change theses statuses to anything meaningful, but I only want those two values as options for write-back.
Is this even possible?

Write Back feature in 11g environment

Hi,
I am trying to implement write back feature in 11g environment.
i have configured RPD as mentioned below-
in physical layer- non cacheable,
in BMM- enable write back checkbox,
in Presentation layer read/write property for field,
in report i have checked write back box for column.
I have created xml file for the column to be edited.
But i am not able to locate where i need to mention this xml file name.
Please let me know where i need to mention the xml file name and where i need to place the file.

Can you confirm that you have done ALL of the following:
-Make sure you use columnIDs as opposed to column position in the XML template
-Use Schema prefix on the table column
-Ensure WebMessage name on XML template matches the EXACT name in Table View Properties
-Ensure Physical table is non cacheable
-Presentation and Logical layer must have Write enabled for the writeback columns
-If we dont need an INPUT command make sure to have a space between the XML tags
I dont have access to a writeback file currently..if you can paste yours here, maybe we can help.
Also, if the responses are helpful, please mark them as helpful or correct.

10g - write back - The system is unable to read the Write Back Template

hi,experts,
I enabled write back on a report.
the button (write back) is enabled (not grey)
but when I click the button, there is a message
The system is unable to read the Write Back Template 'UPDATETESTWRITEBACK'. Please contact your system administrator.
I put UPDATETESTWRITEBACK.XML in C:\OracleBI\web\msgdb\customMessages
the syntax in the xml is correct.
what is the result? any log to check?

Its not mandatory to have the same template name as your xml file name.
But the <WebMessage name= "UPDATETESTWRITEBACK"> should be same what the templetae you are using in the webcat.
Please find sampel xml which can have any xyz name in the folder "OracleBIData\web\msgdb\customMessages'
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web.messageSystem">

Help on write back feature

Hi All,
I am working in Siebel Analytics 7.8.2.
I have tried enabling write back feature in my application but I am not able to do so. The write back tab is enabled in the physical layer of repository. I have created a write back template. But the “Manage write back” option is not available in the Admin page. Could anyone please let me know whether any special license and configuration setting are required to enable write back in 7.8.2. ?
Also please let me know the requirements and timeline to upgrade from SA 7.8.2 to 7.8.4. What are all the general factors (infrastructure change, additional components, configuration changes, etc) affecting the up gradation?
Thanks.

Hello Everyone,
The write back feature is working fine. There was an issue privilege setting in rpd.
Now one field is getting editable while pressing Update button in the dashboard report and type new value and pressing Apply button, data is getting updated in to DB table.
To aviod the manual entry i want to enter a value from some kind of dropdown or any choice box. So could you please let me know how can i achieve this functionality.
Thanks in advance.

Write Back in BI11G

hi
I am using BI11g. How can i create write back in BI11g?
thanks
kavi

Kavitha,
Considering you already have an idea about implementing writeback in BIEE 10g. On presentation services side the configuration remains the same except the writeback selection in column properties is bit change but there is specific change in RPD side configuration that should be taken care of to enable write back on a particular column, you must select the Writeable option for the logical column, and enable the Read/Write permission for the corresponding presentation column. You must also disable caching on the corresponding physical table.
Hope you find this useful..
Thanks,
Deepak

SSAS settings for write-back analysis

Hi,
Must write-back be enabled in the cube to be able to do What-if analysis from Excel? I do not need to publish the changes.
All articles I find require the write back enabled on the partition but our BI architect claims that that is not necessary?
We have SQL server 2012 and Excel 2010.
Thank you,
Cristina

Hello Cristina,
Yes, you have to modify your cube definition & deploy it to enable write-back feature on dimension/partition level; see

10g Write back works for some users, not others

Dear Gurus,
I have a strange problem with the Write Back in my system. We use Write-back pretty extensively and have maybe 10-20 separate reports, updating a number of tables.
We have been using this system for almost a year with no problems - Myself (logging in as Administrator) and a member of the Business team, logging in as herself (a member of the Presentation Server Administrator Group).
We now require two more Business power-users to use our Write-back reports. I have added them to the Presentation Server Administrator group. However, when they try to enter values into ANY of the write-back reports, they get the following error;
An error occurred while writing to the server. Please check to make sure you have entered appropriate values. If the problem persists...
*State: HY000. Code 10058 [NQODBC]... A general error has occurred. [nQSERROR 27024] The EXECUTE PHYSICAL statement must specify a physical SQL statement to execute (HY000)*
SQL issued: EXECUTE PHYSICAL CONNECTION POOL "GL Oracle Data Warehouse Connection Pool"
I do not understand why the write back is working without error for my own user, the Admin user and a member of the business team who is in the Presentation Server Administrator group, but not for two new additions to that group.
I have checked that the Presentation Server Admin group is granted on the "Enable/Manage Write Back" privilege and on the Execute SQL privilege.
Any ideas what else I could check?
Thanks,
A.

Hey Amith,
Thanks for your quick reply! Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case. The system is pretty much wide open, apart from the Write pack privilege, which only the Presentation Server Administrator group has access to.
I'm having another of my Presentation Server Administrators who has been in the group forever try to use the write back.
There's no specific connection pool or database level permissions for write back, is there? And there's no specific permissions which need to be set on the xml template files?
Thanks,
A.
