Error in OBI Answers

Tried to place a request in OBI Answer, got error
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 16023] The ODBC function has returned an error. The database may not be available, or the network may be down. (HY000) Type=Report
I have sampel Business model presentation SH in the RPD, It runs OK, that eliminates the problem of database and network down as suggested in the message. If I copy the query and run in SQL*Plus, it is OK, indicates the query is OK.
What is wrong then?

Hi,
What do you mean by It runs OK ?
1) have you tried pulling data from physical layer? are you able to see data here ?
2) Cross check your connection pool it may pointing to other schema which is not available.
hope it helped you

Link from OBI report/OBI Answers to other application

Hi,
We want to add a link from the OBI report / OBI Answers to our application. Is there a way to create a link on the values displayed and pass values as parameter on that link?
Thanks.

Hello,
You can create a hyperlink within a column formula in Answers. You can use Go Url to pass multiple parameters as well. Check out the OBIEE presentation Services Administration Guide (Chapter 11 I believe).
We have created dynamic hyperlinks in BI report that invokes an Apex page as well.
Hopefully the following link will help.
Dyanmic display of the Image Link URL

Hope this helps. Award points if helpful.

Using OBI answers report as source in BIP report

All,
I am creating a BIP report using OBI answers request as source. I defined the data set, created RTF template from MS word and uploaded the same into BIP.
I am using dashboard prompts for this reports. I have 2 issues with this.
1. When I embed the BIP report in the dashboard along with BI answers report, the BIP report is not retrieving data when different metrics are selected in the prompts. for ex: grams and Kgs.
The logic to apply the factoring on data is already implemented in OBI. When i change the dashboard prompt, it is changing the data in BI answers report and not in BIP report. I am wondering why this might be happening. If you have any thought please share.
2. The BI report has some saved filters applied which uses some presentation variables in the filters. But those seem to be not effecting in BIP report. Please suggest any reasons and fix for these.
If any one have idea, please suggest.
Many thanks in advance.

The BI answers request contains saved filters, in which some filters have presentation variable and a default value set for the same. we are using this as source for the BIP report data set.
In this case the answers request is working correctly based on the prompt value selected where as the BIPub report is not working. The BIP report is working for only the default value. If we change the prompt for that parameter, it is showing no rows.
How BIP takes care of such answers request based reports?

OBIA - Answer error : [nQSError: 27037] Unresolved level

HI,
We installed the OOTB OBIA sandbox and I'm unable to create a column formula with the time function AGO in Answer.
I tried : AGO("Fact - Sales Invoice Lines"."Invoiced Amount", "Core"."Date"."Year",1) where "Core"."Date"."Year" is from the BMM hierarchies.
I tried many combinations for the time_level unsuccessfully.
I got the follwing error :
Formula syntax is invalid.
[nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 27037] Unresolved level: "Core"."Date"."Year". (HY000)
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you for any help you could provide.
Gaétan

Ok, I found out why it wasn't working, I had to add the Hierarchy in the column formula.
This is the default way in the column formula editor : AGO("Fact - Sales Order Lines"."Ordered Quantity","Time"."Year", 1)
I had to add : AGO("Fact - Sales Order Lines"."Ordered Quantity","Time"."Time"."Year", 1) to make it work,
I don't understand why when you pick it in the column formula editor, you're unable to get the complete string for the time_level parameter.
Do you know why?

How to find better SQL log in OBI Answers?

While I have an error in making an OBI request in Answers page, the error message in the result tab is usually not very helpful, like:
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27005] Unresolved column: "Sales Facts Current Month"."Amount Sold (000) Current Month". (HY000)
SQL Issued: {call NQSGetQueryColumnInfo('SELECT "Sales Facts Current Month"."Amount Sold (000) Current Month", "Sales Facts"."Amount Sold", Calendar."Calendar Month Desc", Calendar."Calendar Month Name", Products."Prod Category" FROM SH')}
SQL Issued: SELECT "Sales Facts Current Month"."Amount Sold (000) Current Month", "Sales Facts"."Amount Sold", Calendar."Calendar Month Desc", Calendar."Calendar Month Name", Products."Prod Category" FROM SHI then go to Session Monitor, and click the View Log link. By doing so, sometimes, I got the full sql statement. That is good and I can figure out the problems. Sometimes, I have things like:
-------------------- SQL Request:
SET VARIABLE QUERY_SRC_CD='Report',SAW_SRC_PATH='/shared/sh/Learn';SELECT Times."Calendar Month Name" saw_0, Times."Calendar Month Desc" saw_1, Products."Prod Category" saw_2, Salesfacts."Amount Sold" saw_3, REPORT_SUM(saw_3 BY saw_0, saw_1), REPORT_SUM(saw_3 BY ) FROM SH WHERE (TOPN(Times."Calendar Month Id",40) <= 40) AND (Channels."Channel Desc" = 'Direct Sales') ORDER BY saw_1, saw_0, saw_2
+++Administrator:13290000:1329000f:----2009/09/29 09:18:33

Created by: AdministratorThis does not help as the selected tables are not fully spell out. It appear like that OBI find the sql in cache and did process the request fully.
Is there a way I can force OBI resend the request? Is there a way to get OBI log the full sql statement? That way I can copy the sql to SQL*Plus and find exactly the problem
Thanks.

Physical SQL is not visible as it hits the cache.
you can :
1) clear the physical cache from rpd and re-run the request.
or
2) copy the logical SQL, go to web Admin - issue SQL--paste the logical SQL there, then just change one parameter or two, so it does not hit the cache. E.g. change a filter to Feb from Jan...or just add a dummy column at the beginning as select 1 or select 'a' ....rest of the sql same.
this way you can avoid hitting the cache and see the sql (at the bottom of the results - view log)
make sure you have checked the presentation server cache option and set the log level to 4 or more to see details.

Hi Jay,
As you are getting an ORA- error, there is nothing wrong with the OBIEE report or with the fact that the you have used Evaluate in the filters.
This seems like an error while parsing a particular row value for the parameters (Booked Date and Line Status Date) you are passing to the work_days_between_ADS function. Pick up the physical sql and fire it directly on the database and try to identify what values are causing the error (probably at line 8 of the function def).
Thanks,
Gaurav

Any suggestions on this issue.Check the sawserver.out log file to see if you can find more details on the server. This could more likely be because of the incorrect configuration in OBIEE. Refer to the Doc ID on MOS: 1104749.1 for further details and what configuration changes needs to be made.

Error installing OBI EE on Dell XP

Hi all,
I am trying to install OBI EE on my laptop (Dell Lattitude 630 / XP).
Right after clicking set up.exe I get a message that my platform is not supported and then it lists the supported platforms.
Looking at this forum I saw some people having the same problem a few weeks ago. Suggestion was to move framedyn.dll to system32 directory and adding it to the path. Which I did. But no solution.
When I execute systeminfo.exe from the shell I get an error as well. I am very curious if any of you have a solution for this problem.
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated,
Toin.
I noticed that a few other people having this problem also had Dell computers, and it looked like there were some Dutch people having the same problem as I. Could this have anything to do with either Dell or Dutch XP version by any chance??

Hi Toin,
I experienced the same problems you did. Maybe it has something to do with the Dutch version of XP on a Dell computer. It looks like I have found a solution.
I have downloaded the latest version 10.1.3.3.1 via http://edelivery.oracle.com instead of http://otn.oracle.com. There you will find 3 separate .zip-files. I downloaded these and extracted them in one folder. Now I was able to install Oracle BI EE at last.
Maybe this helps for you as well.
Good Luck,
Daan Bakboord

Installation error for OBI 11.1.1.5

Hello,
In the middle of OBI installation(28%) on a virtual machine(windows XP 32 bit) I receive the following error :
Installation failed
OUI session failed
Invalid entry size (expected 359303298 but got 182344 bytes)
What can I do? I made all the steps from the Installation Guide ..how can I fixed it?
Thank you.

You need at least 2 GB RAM. If you are running Enterprise install you are going to need 4GB. Anything below that is just very slow performing. If you go the simple install route, you can get away with 3 GB.

A weird error in BI Answers

Hi,
Can sombody help me why i am getting an error "Oracle BI has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry for the inconvenience"
when i open a request in BI Answers? and then it asks me to press either "Send" or "Dont Send"
I was able to create 2 requests and linked one with the other. When i tried to create my 3rd requests, now its giving this problem.
I checked the already exisiting dashboard created by somebody in my company. I tried to view the requests and there also it gives the same problem.
I had IE 6 at first, then i thought may be its IE Version problem and then i installed IE8, still same problem..
Thanks in advance for helping me out.
Regards
Suja

OK, I think I understand now :)
I think point (2) of my clarification is negative -- it's not Internet Explorer that crashes, since you say "Then, i close the web browser".
So basically Presentation Services is crashing, and because you're running the server on the same machine as the client it appears that the client is crashing instead.
I've actually encountered the same behaviour (http://rnm1978.blogspot.com/2009/07/sawserver-crash-with-no-details-in-log.html) but in essence sawserver (Presentation Services) is crashing and there's no indication why. If this is a problem for you then you need to raise an SR with Oracle for them to diagnose the problem.
Can you identify what it is in the report that you're running that causes the crash? For example, there's a known bug in sawserver 10.1.3.4 where it crashes when you do a pivot table.
For what it's worth, you should only need to restart Presentation Services when this does happen, and then refresh your browser window and it'll go back to the Answers login page.

Connection Failed Error in OBI 11.1.1.7

Hi,
While trying to import the metadata from the Oracle Database i am getting the "Coonnection Failed" error in OBIEE 11.1.1.7 on windows 7.
For this i have followed the below steps:
1. Copy the tnsnames.ora file from Oracle Database.
Path : C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\network\ADMIN
2. paste the file to the below location in OBIEE11g directory
C:\OBIEE11g\Oracle_BI1\network\admin
C:\OBIEE11g\oracle_common\admin
Can you please let me know whether i am missing any steps to import the metadata successfully.
Thanks in Advance
Siva

Which DSN have you selected in the connection pool?
Try to do tnsping to the database that you are connecting to and make sure everything is fine.
If everything is fine, try to copy the entire tns string in the connection pool where you specify the DSN.

FIX FOR ERROR (-208) - DEFINITIVE ANSWER!!

Thanks to KawF for this... But, I wanted to make sure everyone sees this:
After having checked my other computer for what files had been altered or created this last day (during thich i had successfully authorized it for playback in preview and for purchased music) i found the file "SC Info.sidb" under "X:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info". This appears to hold your authorization keys or some other magic stuff. By deleting this files parent folder, iTunes was forced into asking me to authorize this computer again for playback, with the difference this time that there were some other options on the authorization dialog, just like there should be when for the first time authorizing a computer to play protected iTunes content. When I then entered my information as always and was expecting to see the same -208 error, i was instead greeted with sweet opera that I had been longing to listen to.
A minute or so later, I found this article on the net:
http://nslog.com/archives/2003/05/02/authorizingitunes_scinfo.php
It describes the same problem, but for users of macs, but the same principle applies to windows machines. The only thing fifferent is the paths to the key database. "I:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info"
Try the same procedure and hopefully your iTunes copy should work again. Just remember to make sure all iTunes related processes are shut down first before trying this. It might not matter, but that is what I did.

David,
Having been less successful than you in finding an answer, I am thankful that you were, indeed, able to find a solution that worked.
Thanks to David and the iTune community for being informative and resourceful.
Glad to be able to hear, once again, the music for which I have paid.
Thanks again,

How to remove "ORDER BY" in OBI Answers query

It's taking a lot of time, when I choose several fields from repository and trying to watch the results. The problem is that OBI use "ORDER BY" in query, but I didn't choose sort order and even don't want to. Does anybody know how to remove it?
The physical query looks like that:
SELECT BI_EID_BUILDING.ID_BUILDING saw_0, BI_EID_BUILDING.COUNT_LIVING_ROOM saw_1, BI_EID_BUILDING.SUM_LIVING_ROOM saw_2 FROM BTI WHERE BI_EID_BUILDING.COUNT_LIVING_ROOM < 50
ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1

Hay !
Go to physical layer and uncheck the ORDER_BY_ Supported for database in db feature.
:)
