Enabling Direct Database Request for LDAP User in RPD

Hi All,
Can anybody help me out how to set the Direct datasbase parameter in repository for the respective LDAP User.
Actually I am implementing PROXY USer setup, in this process im encountering the below error
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred.
[nQSError: 13017] User or group has not been granted the Direct Database Access privilege to access the database 'So n So'. Please verify the User/Group Permissions in the Oracle BI Administration Tool. (HY000)
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NqzXnCsUse0/UT5D2F6SksI/AAAAAAAAA1s/SpygihX4z5A/s1600/3.PNG
If i create the user in the repository and for him if i set "direct database Request" to "Allow" then he is able to use the PROXY functionality , but in my case i am using LDAP there are no room for the USers.
Any assistance , greatly appreciated.
Thank you./

Use of Filter in Direct Database Request for Custom Navigation

Because of union and other complex sql code I am using Direct Database Request. (DDR) In 1st request based on DDR containing column Region, I need to do Region column value navigation to the Target report. The Target report is also based on DDR and has column Region.
For 1st Report Region Column Value Navigation to work
1. I did activate value interaction in 1st Report for Region column and set Target to Report 2.
2. In 2nd Report, I have to use Filter and make region column "Is Prompted". But in DDR the filter is not available. How do I solve this problem?

by using Direct database request your bypassing all the wanderful metadata you built in the BMM layer, as such much functionality is not available.
If you really need to use such complex SQL, I would suggest creating an inline view in the phyiscal layer and at least model this through your BMM either as a flat data source (ie include the dimension columns and model the same inline view into your BMM star)
If you do that, the BI Server will know what other logical columns this data source can relate you and you should find the navigation works as expected.
If you dont fancy that good practice, have a look at creating GOURL formulas as the column fx's, format as HTML to present the data as a hyperlink and manually pass all the parameters to the 2nd report.
I'd do the first option, its more inline with intended use.
What cant you do using the 'normal modelling / answers techniqes with union (see combined request in answers) and complex sql (evaluate function in RPD)??

Unable to Schedule a Direct Database Request in OBIEE 11g.

Hi All,
I am trying to schedule a Report that is generated using a Direct Database Request Query.
Whenever I try to create an Alert for this specific Report it Fails to deliver.
I checked the Job Manager for this Alert. I found out that the Job has completed with an Exit Code = 2 and there was no other error description for the same.
Can we not create an alert for a Direct Database Request.
Please let me know if anyone has dealed with such an issue and if anyone has a solution for this.
Thanks in advance.
Dev.

Analyses based on direct database requests and sent out through agents work just like any other analysis in terms of content, delivery etc.
Are you sure that you're not hitting a privilege problem and that the user executing the agents isn't allowed to run direct database requests?

Direct database request and session variable value

Hi,
I have a problem by doing the following : idea is to have report with a list of all tables in user schema (which are not all in repository physical layer).
By clicking on the name of any, should bring answer report which is done as direct database request doing basically select * from table_clicked (this will be basically the same table with sufix _err holding error rows).
What I'm trying to do is having some kind report for error rows which can be in different tables in my database. So i had in mind to construct name of table i need , and pass it to database request through session variable. Am i doing right by doing direct database request like this :
select * from 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.TestVar2)'
Is there another easyer way of doing this? I know this can be done by gourl by passing parameters but not sure how when i can't filter columns in direct database request (this can be different tables with different names of columns). I hope i didn't complicated this too much.
Thnx in adwance

Hi,
I know this is a hack, and would be much more easy to create one table with dimension and measures, but this is intended to be used with code generator, which can produce different error tables with different column names in different time: It is not conviniet for somebody to add them to repository every 5 minutes. For example : i run my workflow and for first run I have errors in table1(let us say customer table with 30 columns) and if click on the table name in some answer report, i want to see all the bad records in the table. Tomorrow after the run, there are bad records in table1 and in table2 (lets say products) so I would have choice to pick table 1 or table2 and see al the bad records in any of these tables. This means that I can not now which tables will I have tomorrow, and as it is generic, I can manually add some tables in my model, and would have to add err table also as a possibility to have error rows?
I saw post saying that you can pass parameter value by using go url functionality, by modifying configinstance file, but didn't suceed - http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/logical_sql/obiee_session_variable_go_url . Maybe some mistake or any better solution? I created session variable TestVar2, also modified instanceconfig.xml by adding this before </ServerInstance>
<ParamList>
<Param name="NQ_SESSION.TestVar2" source="url" nameInSource="SETVAR"/>
</ParamList>
and used go url in column formula : ''||"Physical Targets"."Physical Table"||''
Can I use @1 for using first column value?
Thnx

Direct Database Request

Hi All,
I am trying to set up a Dashboard Prompt using the SQL results of a Direct Database Request. I am using Oracle 11g.
So far I have created the connection and created the analysis using the Direct Database Request. I am using Presentation Variable to pass into the Where Statement to filter however, I need a Dashboard prompt that will display the results of a particular column (country) in the Choice list options for filtering. I have tried to go into Dashboard Prompts and create a presentation variable and then use a SQL statement to render results for the prompt choices but that does not seem to work. Does anyone have an suggetions on how to Populate a Dashboard Prompt using Direct Database Request?
SQL CODE FOR DASHBOARD PROMPT
SELECT COUNTRY_CODE FROM POA_ADDRESS_DIM

Thats Srini,
I already have that presentation variable in my analysis in the where clause to limit the data request. The issue I am trying to resolve is similar to creating a filter based on another analysis.
I created an analysis using DDR the DDR results is what I want to incorporate into a dashboard prompt. So the best logical way to put it is Take the results from a DDR and place it into a Dashboard Prompt as user choices. An added bonus if I could make the presentation variable pick up multiple selections from the Dashboard prompt. I know we could change the operator to IN however the formating of the choices would have to be something like this ('@{PV_COUNTRY}') <--- minus the paranthesis.

Direct Database Request - EBS

Hi All,
I am new to OBIEE but have a question regarding Direct Database Request. We have our EBS data stored in the OBIEE Data Warehouse but we'd also like to be able to use some of our Oracle SQL Developer queries against our EBS database directly using OBIEE as the platform.
Is there any issue with having our EBS data in the data warehouse as well as a data source for Direct Database Requests? I read something about security concerns involving write-access. I figure it's easier to use our SQL queries that we have already created than to attempt to map all of the tables and fields into the data warehouse. Also, some of the queries would be nice to have in real-time.
Thx,
Mike

I don't have to worry about the transactional EBS data getting tangled in the data within the warehouse right? Also, are there any security concerns?I dont think so.
I typically use an Appsro (read-only) user when querying EBS data. Will I have the option of using read-only or will I have write access? I ask b/c I read something about this that warned of security risk of overwriting data.Read only is fine, since BI is to see data, unless you implement Write-back functionality there wont be any write(data updates) in db.

OBIEE 10G Direct Database Request

Hey Everybody,
I'm on OBIEE 10G in a solaris environment and I'm connected to Oracle 11.2 database. I'm having trouble getting the correct dataset returned from a Direct Database Request from a dashboard that users input data. I have the dashboard created and have all the dashboard prompts setup as prestentation variables. My DDR sql looks like this:
Select from table where Batch_ID = '11' and PID = '1234' and Reported_Date = '01011900'*
My issue is that I want the Reported Date dashboard prompt to be a optional field that user do not have to enter on the dashboard. However, if a user doesn't enter a value on the dashboard then an error is thrown because the DDR sql is expecting a value for the Reported Date.
I've tried to enter the OBIEE standard "%" as an all choices option in the database and changed the DDR sql to look like this:
Select from table where Batch_ID = '11' and PID = '1234' and Reported_Date like '%'*
However, this throws an error saying an unidentified characters has been used even though if I run this above sql query directly against the database myself it gives back the wanted dataset.
Anybody ever ran across this situation before?
Thanks,
Jeff

Here is the code I used as my DDR. When I leave the @reported_date prompt empty it doesn't return anything. Thanks.

Drill down on direct database request

Hi all,
I would like to know if its possible to drill down in a table created with a direct database request. I've created the direct request and run it perfectly, but drilling down is not enabled and I, even thought I've looked for it, I couldnt find any option to enable it. I've also checked privileges just in case it had something to do with this, but didnt see anything neither.
To sum up, could anyone tell me if drilling down is possible in direct database request and, if so, how can I achieve it?
Thank you very much in advanced for any kind of help.

NO!!!!!!!!!!
You Direst SQL query should contain the url
ex:
SELECT COL1,COL2,
'<a href=http://obiapps:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Go&Path=/Answers&path=%2Fshared%2FAppslink%20Dashboards%2F_portal%2FAppslink%20Dashboards%2FEmployee%20Department=Navigate&P0='+BUSINESS_GROUP_NAME+' target=_new>'+BUSINESS_GROUP_NAME+'</a>
FROM TABLE
then go for the column format
Note: in MS SQL + is for concat, you might have to change based on your db.

Error in Oracle BI EE Analytics when running a direct database request

This is in the Oracle Answers portion of the Analytics tool. When a query is entered into the Direct Database Query text box and the "Validate SQL and Retrieve Columns" button is clicked, the columns are indeed returned (which would seem to indicate that the connection pool settings are correct etc.), but when I click on the results tab it throws an error:
View Display Error
Error generating view. You don't currently have the necessary privileges to execute Direct Database Requests.
Error Details
Error Codes: OAMP2OPY:Q4NU7XSN
Invalid Handle Of 'class saw::NQWebView *' Exception
I am at a loss trying to figure this error out - clearly it is connected to the DB since it can see column names, and I was able to use the Administration tool to create a repository which Analytics can use, so why can't I directly query my database? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like the setting has not been set to allow you to execute a direct database query.
You can do this by logging into the Presentation services as the Administrator user. Clicking on the Settings tab and then selecting the Administration option. On the Oracle BI Presentation Services Administration window select the Manage Privileges option. This brings up the Privileges Administration window, scroll down to the Answers section (listed on the left) and check the Execute Direct Database Requests privilege setting this is defaulted to let no one execute Direct SQL request. Reset the privileges such that the group that the user trying to execute the direct database request belongs to is set to be able to execute the direct database requests. This should alleviate the error that you are getting.
I hope that this helps.

Date format in Direct database request

I have a report with direct database request.
I have a date prompt..I am storing the date in a Presentation Variable named pv_date.
In the direct database request, I have a where clause:
WHERE business_date IN ( @{pv_date}{'1/1/2013'} )
when I run open dashboard for the first time, its throwing me an error near TIMESTAMP.
WHERE business_date IN( TIMESTAMP ''2013-01-01 00:00:00'')
AND ALSO When I run this report from dashboard after choosing a date say 2/20/2013, I see the query as:
WHERE business_date IN (2013-02-20 00:00:00)
and hence throwing error.
Its throwing error in both the cases. How do I change the format in WHERE clause..
Ideally, I want the query to be WHERE business_date IN ('2/20/2013') or Business_date IN ('2013-02-20')

Thank you both.
I am using Sybase and hence used convert function.
But still I see the word TIMESTAMP in the query which is causing issue.
business_date IN(CONVERT(char(10), TIMESTAMP ''2013-03-27 00:00:00'',101))
and when I run the report by choosing any date, I see this: business_date IN(CONVERT(char(10),2013-03-27 00:00:00,101)) ; throwing error because No single quoted for the date.
How do I remove the word TIMESTAMP?? and how do I impose single quotes..

A belated thanks for your reply.
Our environment doesn't have NPS accounting configured so that was easy to rule out.
The mid-day drop outs have stopped after I added "set protocols dot1x authenticator no-mac-table-binding" to our Juniper switches (which prevents mac address aging from clearing the active dot1x client session).
I believe the above error message occurs because the RADIUS session ID is rejected / ignored because of some quirks in the RADIUS standard. At the start of a dot1x authentication request a RADIUS session ID is created. For whatever reason the
RADIUS/NAP server stops responding and the Juniper switch fails over to the backup RADIUS/NAP server configured. The session ID is kept (per RADIUS standard) but the backup RADIUS/NAP server doesn't know about the session, so this event: "Network
Policy Server discarded the request for a user." occurs.
It would be nice to see a clearer error message "Invalid RADIUS session" or similar.
There is a Microsoft guide on how to set up RADIUS/NAP servers in a highly available configuration - something to do with RADIUS proxy servers.
It would be even nicer to see some kind of RADIUS session synchronisation between NAP servers... if it doesn't already exist?
I am having the same exact issue you posted on here except I have Extreme Network switches. Some of my computers, various hardware, will randomly not authenticate during re-authentication. The switch says that it failed to contact the NPS server so then it
switches to my backup server. The client has a random time on how long it waits to authenticate so sometimes I end up having the disable/re-enable the port they are connected to so that the session is started again. I see that you basically removed the option
to force clients to re-authenticate Any downfall disabling that?. Any idea why the NPS server is no longer responding? Are you using Windows Server 2012?

Direct Database Request Execution Error

Hi,
Iam working with Database Direct Request to execute a stored procedure. When I hav given the commad and clicked on 'Validate SQL and Retrieve columns' it is showing all the columns below. But when I click on "Results" tab it is giving me an error like
"Error generating view. You don't currently have the necessary privileges to execute Direct Database Requests"
I logged in to OBIEE (Web) as an 'Administrator'.
What other permissions do an Administrator need in order to resolve the above issue?

Try with Evaluate function

Direct Database Request & prompts

Is it possible to use Prompts in a Request base on a "Direct Database Request". How do I access the prompt variables in my SQL query?

user643210 wrote:
Hi,
I am unable to get the data based on the prompt applied this way. Can u please tell how to get the data using prompt on dashboard?It has been outlined for you above.
Define a presentation variable using your dashboard prompt,
In your SQL in the direct request, filter your column using the value in the variable using :
where column1= '@{somevar1}'
where @{somevar1} is the name of your presentation variable.
To Debug why your are not getting results, have a look at the what value got substituted into the Physical SQL being sent to the the underlying database using the session manager.
