Essbase reports in OBIEE 11g

Hi Experts,
The Essbase reports in OBIEE 11g is displaying the member names instead of the Alias names. However in OBIEE 10g the Alias names are rightly displayed.
Can anyone please suggest on how it is possible to display the alias names in OBIEE 11g?

Hi,
thanks for ur reply. I checked the above workaround but found that the option Display Column -> Alias is not enabled. So am not able to select it. Hence now Member names is selected.
Please let me know if i am missing something else.

Problem in Getting Count answer for the report in OBIEE 11g..

Hi friends,
I created a report in OBIEE 11g, but i'm not getting the correct answer as i expected...I'm getting answer in presentation services but the answer is wrong..
I'll explain to you with an example report: Suppose in the report "NATIONALITY COUNT IN DEPARTMENT WISE" manner
i dragged the Nationality column from per_all_people_f which is dim table and i dragged the column that i applied aggregation rule "count" for the column "nation count" from per_all_assignments_f which is fact table......If i viewed answers means i'm getting correct answer
(i.e.) nation count per Nationality..........
NATIONALITY<---------------------->NATION COUNT
AUSTRALIA 40
INDIA 20
AFRICA 10
USA 5
The above is the answer I'm getting with out including the department column from hr_all_organization_units...........
But since according to the report i need count in department wise manner, so for that along with nationality and nation count column i dragged department column from hr_all_organization_units which is dim table and also i hide that column as i dont want to view the department column in answers..........
If i clicked answers, means then I'm not getting the nation count for the nationality......... I'm getting the answer 0 for each and every nationality, if i included the hided department column
NATIONALITY<----------------->NATION COUNT
AFRICA 0
AUSTRALIA 0
INDIA 0
USA 0
I'm getting answers like the above if i include the department dimension column which is in hided manner.........................
What is wrong with it........Whether i made any logical mistake for the report.....If so guide me friends..........
Cheers,
Harry...........

Hi,
you said about writing query in DB.......whether U meant of trying checking the query in toad..or something else..........
Since im giving only one join from dim to fact in the physical diagram........
But more than one join exist between those dim and fact, but im giving only one join mainly the primary key column of the dimension table to the fact table....Whether i need to give all the joins that exist(even if it has 2 or 3 joins between those fact and dim) tables....
If i give count distinct means it is giving count for every nation as 1....like i mentioned below
NATIONALITY<----------------------------------------------------->NATION COUNT
INDIA---------------------------------------------------------------------1
AUS------------------------------------------------------------------------1
CAN------------------------------------------------------------------------1
Since you said to check about depts of the particular column....i couldn't able to understand about "depts" that you meant????
Whether i made any logical mistake...........
thanks,

Diplay all rows for a single report in OBIEE 11g

Hello All,
Do we have any way to display all rows by default for only one report in OBIEE 11g rather than the regular 25 rows and clicking on all the rows. Without changing the configuration on instanceconfig.xml.
Please advice.
Thanks,
VidyaS.

Using Table View:
Table Properties->Edit View
Se the max number at 'Rows per Page'
Or use Pivot Table View

How to build a Analysis report in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I have a query regarding 'How to' to build an analysis report in OBIEE 11g.
The data model is a financial data model, where information such as Actual, Plan, Forecast, What - if etc for current AND prior year need to be displayed in a dashboard.
I created two analysis reports one for current year Rep1 and second for prior year Rep2 each with filter criteria as current year and prior year respectively based on years column. and then in the dashboard I created prompt based on scenario column (radio button) for Actual, plan, Forecast, and wht if.
I am able to show the current vs prior year data in the same dashboard for Actual or Plan or forecast or what if (depending on data availability in the database).
I want to achieve the same information in a single analysis report instead of two separate analysis reports. I do not want to create separate physical report for current and prior year data.
I need one analysis report which I can use in dashboard and depending on selection for scenario (actual , plan, forecast or wht if) I want to show the current AND prior year data the way I achieved in with two seperate reports embedded in their respective sections as explained above.
Does any one have idea how to achive this by building single analysis report?
If you need any more clarificaiton or have any queries, please let me know.
Thanks and Regards
Santosh

As per I understand your requirement,
In your Dashboard create a Presentation variable which receives the value of year you select.
Now in your analysis, select the year column along with all the measures you want (Actual, plan, Forecast, and what-if, etc).
Create a filter on Year column and convert it into SQL. Put the condition as:
"Year" BETWEEN @{Presentaion_Variable} - 1 AND @{Presentation_Variable}
You will get the result for selected year and the previous year.
Hope it helps..

A.K.

I get the same issue. I thought that it's a problem in a security - the catalog pane is clear in a union report. But saved filters work in 11g. I migrated catalog from 10g to 11g and I see saved filters in the conditions. But you may add saved filters directly into xml. Go on Tab Advanced and edit Analysis XML. You have to add code like this
<sawx:expr xsi:type="sawx:savedFilter" path="/shared/FOLDER/_filters/FOLDER/FILTER_NAME" name="FILTER_NAME"/> in a right place.

Using CASE WHEN for Essbase column in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I have a business model in OBIEE 11g, taking the source from Essbase 11. The measures of the Essbase cube in the physical layer is flattened, and the aggregations for the measures are set to SUM.
The Product dimension has 5 generations. In Product logical table, I created a logical column called "Product Grouping" using a simple CASE WHEN formula:
CASE
WHEN "TEST"."Product"."Gen5,Product" IN ('100-10', '100-20', '200-10', '300-10') THEN 'Group 1'
WHEN "TEST"."Product"."Gen5,Product" IN ('100-30', '200-20') THEN 'Group 2'
ELSE 'Group 3'
END
Problems:
1. If I don't place this "Product Grouping" in the logical level/hierarchy, I got error in the report when I simply show Product Grouping and a measure.
2. If I place this "Product Grouping" in the logical level/hierarchy (on the 5th level), no more error in the report when I simply show "Product Grouping" and a measure. The measure value also shows the correct SUM (group by). However, when I add "Gen1,Product" the "Product Grouping" and the measure value suddenly becomes not grouped by.
Has anyone ever tried and encountered something like this? Any thoughts?
Thank you very much!

Hi Deepak, thansk for the suggestion.
However, I can't use calculated item for this report because:
1. incorrect result will be shown when my measures involve a formula to derive a percentage value.
2. calculated item is not available if we do "combine requests" (or union) in 11g.
Any thoughts anyone on how to solve this? Is this just me, or it's a bug?
Thank you very much.

Prompt to Report navigation - OBIEE 11g

Hello,
I've three tables (3 different requests) to be displayed in a page. Each of these tables has one identical column eg. project_name (but from different database tables).
My requirement :
1.I should have only one prompt to select the project_name at the first page
2.Only after selecting the project_name, the page should navigate to another page which displays all the three tables
Kindly let me know how can I get the prompt to report navigation done.
Thanks!
Dinesh

Hi ,
Only after selecting the prompt you have to show the reports means use the guided navigation.
Only after selectiing the Project_name , you can show your tables.
But this can be done on the same page not on other page as you needed.
Also check the below link may be helpful to you

Flattening Essbase Measures in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I'm using OBIEE 11g. After importing a cube from Essbase to the physical layer in the RPD, I'm choosing "Convert measure dimension to flat measures" to flatten the measures. Now I have all the measures as a flat list. However, the "Measures" dimension/hierarchy still exists in the physical layer. I find this strange.
Then when I drag the cube to the business model layer, that "Measures" dimension/hierarchy isn't brought to the business model layer. I think this is correct, because the measures are already flattened, therefore there should not be any measure dimension/hierarchy in the business model layer.
My questions:
1. If the measure dimension/hierarchy is not used anymore in the business model layer, why does it still exist in the physical layer?
2. What is the impact if I remove it from the physical layer? (Note: I tried this, so far no error, but not sure if later on I will encounter error because of this)
Any thoughts on this? Thank you very much!

My questions:
1. If the measure dimension/hierarchy is not used anymore in the business model layer, why does it still exist in the physical layer? This is normal behavior with OBIEE 11g. It will still be there in physical layer.
2. What is the impact if I remove it from the physical layer? (Note: I tried this, so far no error, but not sure if later on I will encounter error because of this)There shudn't be any future problem incase you wanna delete it during developemet BUT think of a situation during Incremental Essbase Cube Import to OBIEE which was not possible in 10g (straight Forwardly).
I'd suggest to keep it as it is in Physical Layer inorder to avaoid any future issues/enhanced requirements.
Hope its clear Stewart !!
