Filter in OBIEE 11G

Hi,
Could any one please guide me on how i can use Values from a Notepad/xls/csc etc as filter for my answers Reports.
Requirement is to filter values in answers based upon a values(Customer_Id) locally saved notepad file in user Machine.
Also below are some more clarifications.
1. Does OBIEE Supports Correlated Sub Queries,if so how i can implement.Is this done using the Advanced Tab -> Sql Issued?
2. Can we perform Local Joins and Join an excel/notepad/csv with the Results/Answers?
Local Join Scenario: Ex: I have a result/answers A and B which have a common column,so can i combine them and get result?
If so then how?
External File Join: Ex: Application A has provided an .xls sheet which contains Some "Ref Number" which has to be used by Answers 1 and get the records.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions...

Select All is available in prompts but with limited scope.
The option "Include "*All Column Values" choice in the list*" is available, when we uncheck "*Enable user to select multiple values*".
So basically this option limits the choice to 'All' or "Only One value".
Desired functionality: 'All' or " multiple values"
Thanks,

There is a dashboard filter on CustomerType (like: GOLD,SILVER) , our client want to see the data on filter (like: ALL,GOLD,SILVER) the ALL will filter the boat GOLD and SILVER.
-I think its very common but i cant do in OBIEE.

Adding 'All' filter in Obiee 11g dashboard prompt

Hi All,
I am using ver 11.1.1.5
My requirement is to see all data in dashboard prompt as well as there should be another item its 'ALL' which return the all data.
Example:
There is a dashboard filter on a field type (like: Value1,Value2) , our client want to see the data on filter (like: ALL,Value1,Value2) the ALL will filter the boat Value1and Value2.
Please explain with steps.

You have to go with SQL Results in the prompt something like below.
The 2nd statement can be other way so that its return all values..
Make sure that similar you have in report too so that you get all values for ALL
SELECT COL1 FROM "SA"
Union
SELECT CASE WHEN COL1 IS NOT NULL THEN 'ALL' ELSE COL1 END FROM "SA"
instead of not null you may go for like '%'

About the filter function in OBIEE 11g

Hi, all.
when i use the filter function in OBIEE 11g, it turn out a wrong result.
The operation steps and detail are described as follow:
1. In the Column Formula pane, I typed the Formula of the column 'count of customer' as:
FILTER(count(distinct("customer info dimesion"."customerID")) USING ("TradeType Dimesion"."TradeType" = '001'))
2. But the phisical SQL about this column in the NQquery file is that: "count(distinct(T11520.CUSTOMERID)) as c5, "
which means that, the filter wasn't applied, right?
If so, what shall I do in this situation, in other words , how can i make a Condition COUNT？
Any Suggestion is appreciated!
Thank you in advance~~O(∩_∩)O~

Hi katherine,
FILTER(count(distinct("customer info dimesion"."customerID")) USING ("TradeType Dimesion"."TradeType" = '001'))I think your formula there is mistake like many braces...instead type this in your f(x)
=>Filter(count(distinct customer_id) USING trade type='001')
This filter function is same like a case statement,if you filter still gives error write a case statement
CASE WHEN TradeType Dimesion.TradeType='001' THEN count(distinct customer info dimesion.customerID) ELSE 0 END
Will it be helpful?,follow this etiquette http://forums.oracle.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=939

OBIEE 11g: Non conformed dimension filter

Hi,
I have two fact tables and some confromed and non conformed dimensions between the fact tabels.
The hiearchies being built and proper levels were set for the fact tables. The measures of the fact were set to the total level of the non confromed dimension tables.
The fact also hold some non aggregated columns (baseline columns), all the base line columns where moved to a logical dim table.
The report involves both the fact tables, conformed and non conformed dimension columns.
When we built the report with all these columns the report is showing fine. But when we add the filter with the non conformed dimension the report is throwing some error.
Error Details
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.

The above functionality was working fine with OBIEE 10g and have implemented it many times before.
There is one patch available for this issue but it is available only for windows 32 bit enironment.

Can anyone give some suggestion or workaround? I can't do any change in Datamodel.

Hi Vinod,
In OBIEE 10g, we are running into similar error when we add filter from non conformed dimensions in a report, so can you please share patch download details like where to download or if we have to raise a SR for the Patch 14210864.

Customize Filter View in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
Is there any way to customize the filter view? My requirement is not to show formulas that are used in Analysis in the “Filter view”. All analysis that we create should go with Filter Views at the bottom and Users should not see the formulas.
Example:
Column Formula:
FILTER (sales.sales USING products.product =’Electronics’)
If I filter the above column, it shows something like this:
FILTER (sales.sales USING products.product =’Electronics’) is Prompted.
What is need to show in the filters is the Title of the column i.e. Electronics Sales.
Thanks in advance.

OBIEE 11g and Essbase and Dimension Filter / Selection Steps

We are doing a prototype using OBI 11g with Essbase 11.1.2 as a datasource. Our prototype consist of several reports, graphs and dashbaords. The Essbase cube is an ASO cube with 12 dimensions. Most of our dimensions are ragged/unbalanced so we have set up the dimension type to be "Value" in the RPD. There is one dimension - Product and it is a ragged dimension. We are trying to create a simple report that has level zero products as rows. This is something pretty easy to do in Essbase Financial Reporting but it does not look like there is an easy way to filter only on the Level 0 members of a particular dimension. I have tried with selection steps as well as changing the dimension back to unbalanced without much luck.
Has anyone out there done something similar before? Thx.

Hi user,
Check this out OBIEE 11g - Essbase connection Failed
And 1 more thing admin tool works only for 32-bit ...but not in 64 bit.So ensure you install 32-bit for admin tool.

Filter two different columns in a Dashboard, OBIEE 11g

Hi everyone,
I have read many times this forum, but I this is my first post. I have a problem with OBIEE 11g and I hope you guys could help me.
In the dashboard I have created, there is an analysis table which has the following columns:
(1) Month - (2) Doctor's Name - (3) Num. of Appointments Month 1 - (4) Num. Appointments Month 2
The point is that I want the users to choose in their dashboard a month to filer column (3) and a month to filter column (4), so they can have a comparative view of the number of appointments for each month. I have tried to do this with prompts, but what happened is that the prompt filtered ALL the columns, not just one of them.
So, is there any way of filtering just one column? I mean, when in the dashboard view, not in the analysis creation view.
Thank you in advanced! :)

Hang on a minute... I think this is possible.
Set up two dashboard prompts to populate 2 presentation variables for your first and second months.
Once you have a presentation variable you can fix the value of column 3 and 4 using the "Filter using" syntax (check the functions list when you edit the column formula). By using Filter using you should be able to pass in the value of your presentation variable.

Filter Grouping not working for OBIEE 11g

Hello!
I need some help on the below:
I have built a simple report in OBIEE 11g with FILTER grouping on two dimensions as below:
          Operative Hierachy is equal to Europe, IMEA, APAC, China Focus Country, Americas, US and Canada
     and      Accounts is equal to Net Sales (i), Gross Margin (i), GM% (i)
or
          Accounts is equal to Gross Margin, Net Sales, Gross Margin %
     and      Operative Hierachy is equal to / is in Organizations Total
The report was working as expected; but now suddenly it's showing no results with the error "+The specified criteria didn't result in any data. This is often caused by applying filters and/or selections that are too restrictive or that contain incorrect values.+" - even though data is present ! - I have tested this by splitting it into two reports (with only the AND conditions)- which is then woking as expected.
Points to note:
--There had been no change on the Report, when it stopped showing results.
--I have tested this filter grouping with other dimensions- & they are working fine.
--The OBIEE reports are fetching data from ESSBASE cube.
--Only thing which I can remember when it stopped working is that, there had been a data load on the ESSBASE cube. But other reports using these dimensions are working.
Has anyone faced the same issue before. Please help.

Hi User, Vijay,
Yes I have checked the generated SQL queries and the MDX queries as well. Both queries are generated as expected, but returns no result.
But now I have found out how these two different dimensions are different from my other dimensions. Only these two dimensions have a SORT order logical column defined in the BMM layer- which I think is causing the problem, BI Server not able decide which column to sort. So, the sql gives result when I cimment out one of the SORTKEY
SELECT
0 s_0,
"PSS Essbase"."Accounts"."Accounts" s_1,
"PSS Essbase"."Operative Hierarchy"."Operative Hierachy" s_2,
-- SORTKEY("PSS Essbase"."Accounts"."Accounts") s_3,
SORTKEY("PSS Essbase"."Operative Hierarchy"."Operative Hierachy") s_4,
"PSS Essbase"."Facts"."Measure" s_5
FROM "PSS Essbase"
WHERE
((("Operative Hierarchy"."Operative Hierachy" = 'Europe') AND ("Accounts"."Accounts" = 'Gross Margin'))
OR (("Operative Hierarchy"."Operative Hierachy" = 'Russia Focus Country') AND ("Accounts"."Accounts" = 'Sales ASP')))
ORDER BY 1, 5 ASC NULLS LAST, 4 ASC NULLS LAST
FETCH FIRST 65001 ROWS ONLY
Any views on what happens when we use two dimensions in the same report which have sort columns defined in the repository...

OBIEE 11g Analysis : Change Report edit link to go Criteria tab instead

How to change the setting to have the "Edit" to go to criteria tab instead of Results (Compond view)?
Many time we may need to change the filter from default setting and then run the report or if the filter is setup to be used from a dashboard (using "Prompted") option...then the report attmpts to run the report without values...
And I have not checked to see if the server cancels the query to the database when the user navigates to the Critetia Page as there is no cancel link...(as it displayed in 10g...)
FYI, We have just started using OBIEE 11g in a dev environment, we are in the process of configuring the new env to get ready for prod...
Thanks

Hi,
By default, the Action request is sent to results tab. You can modify it by editing the dashboardeditor.js file found in /app/res/b_mozilla/dashboards folder.
Steps:
1) Open dashboardeditor.js file.
2) Search for the function "DUIModifyReport".
3) Inside the function you will find that ***"&Action=results&Path="****
4) Change results to criteria. In other words, the changed code will look like
****"&Action=criteria&Path="*****
5) Re-deploy the code and bounce the services.
-- Remember, this will affect for entire dashboard, and for all users. ---
If you want to avoid step (5), then manually copy the changed dashboardeditor.js to /user_projects/domains/BIfoundation/servers/bi_server1/tmp/_WL_user/analytics_11.1.1/$RANDOMFOLDERNAME$/war/res/b_mozilla/dashboards and bounce the services.
Voila - now when you edit the analysis through dashboard, it will take you to the criteria tab, instead of results tab.
Please award points, if it helps.

Bharath

OBIEE 11g Unable to browse multiple value hierarchy for analysis.

Hi All,
We are using OBIEE 11g Value Hierarchy feature to display GL Segment Hierarchies.
-     We have set the hierarchies to be Ragged and Skipped Levels in the RPD Business Model.
-     We have dragged the hierarchies from Business Model to Presentation Layer.
-     When selecting the hierarchies during Analysis, the first hierarchy that is browsed appears correctly. The next hierarchy when browsed just hangs.
For example:
Step 1: Browse Hierarchy1 (Block). The values show correctly.
Step 2: Browse Hierarchy2 (Account). The hierarchy does not open with a blinking circle remaining forever.
Alternatively;
If we selected, Hierarchy 2(Account) first, the hierarchy shows correctly, but when selecting Hierarchy1 (Block) a blinking circle appears and remains for ever without opening the hierarchy.
The nqquery.log shows correct result. My suspicion is that the issue is on the front end presentation services/javascript side.
Is there any additional setup/configuration required to open multiple value hierarchies during analysis.
Thanks and Regards,
Sasi

I have a pretty good guess at the hanging problem, unforntunitly i have no solutions yet.
I having same type of issue, hangs when building filters on for 2nd or 3rd dim table.. I can see obiee fireing off the query to populate the dropdown by running
select distinct on and joining to the fact table and dimensions that the users usually have selecte prior to start creatinng the filters.
It is sort of like doing a intra dimension filter.. Sounds good but if user does not cut way down on number of fact rows by the time 2nd filtered column is selected the generated query to populate the drop down can run and run.
OBI SE Once and discoverer dd not do this, at least not out of the box.

Issue in Dashboard Prompt of OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I had recently migrated from OBIEE 10g to OBIEE 11g.
I had found that there are lot of things which were working on OBIEE 10g are not working in OBIEE 11g.
For Eg:
I have scenario where i have 2 dashboards with different dashboard prompts.
- *1st Dashboard*: I have prompt with 4 columns Year, Month, Qtr and Week. I can filter the data based on the selection of prompt.i.e Summary Report showing all KPIs and when clicked on the any of the KPI it goes to Below report which shows the graphical view of past weeks data.
- Report: Here i show all the week Ids in the Graph format and when clicked on the any week id it navigates to 2nd Dashboard(below) with appropriate week populated in the prompt and show the detailed records.
- *2nd Dashboard*: I have prompt with 5 columns Year, Month, Qtr, Week and Day of the Week with some detailed report. Here the only Week Id should be pre populated and show data based on the week id selection in the above report.
The issue here in OBIEE 11g is, The month Id which was selected in 1st Dashboard prompt is also getting pre populated into the 2nd dashboard prompt. Which should not happen.
Note: This was working fine in OBIEE 10g.
Is there any way to fix this issue in OBIEE 11g.
Regards
Shyam

Hi Bala,
Thank you for your response.
I had tried that and resolved my problem but it was impacting other reports i.e
I have other reports in 1st Dashboard with different tabs, Here i want the prompt value to be persisted across the reports in same dashboard so that when i go to other tab with in same dashboard the prompt value should be pre-populated and the data should be filtered against that.
Now if i change the scope to page then i will be loosing this functionality.
It was working on OBIEE 10g and i lost this after migrating to OBIEE 11g.
Can you please help me in this regard.
Regards

Presentation Variable in obiee 11g

Hi all ,
I had a dashboard report with year , quarter , month and order type name as prompts .
Now my client requirement is , when order type name is "Ord" , the reports with order type name starting with 'ORD" should be displayed.
In simple i know we will use " Like" operator .
But now my problem is we have to assign a presentation variable for order type name.
So can some one tell me how to add a presentation variable in OBIEE 11g , i tried in web , but none of it helped me to finish the job ,, since i am very new to obiee can some one please explain me in non technical language
Thank you for your help

Hi Jay , Thank you very much for reply , now i got a little idea , but few doubts abt ur reply .
Yes i will edit dashboard prompt and assign a like operator and will save the prompt , but when editing the report , you said to apply a filter *LIKE @{presentation_variable}{default_value}%*
In the above what will be in place of presentation_variable and what should be in default_value.
I have tried it in this way : Like @{Sales Order Lines Order Type Name} , where Sales Order Lines Order Type Name is my dashboard prompt .
but it didn't worked when i have given 'Ord' in dashboard prompt the error says: Sales Order Lines Order Type Name is LIKE (pattern match) ord

WHERE condition in OBIEE 11g

HI gurus,
How can I use a WHERE condition in obiee 11g in the Column formula or in the BMM layer in the repository .
Thanks in advance
Reg,
Niv

Hi,
In the Column formula, the functions like Case When clause (Category: Expressions) can always be used in the building the expression.
For the above, there is always two options
1. Derived from Physical Mappings - this will list only the physical tables that are pulled into the LTS of the logical table
2. Derived from existing columns using an expression - this will list all the Logical tables in the RPD
If you want to apply the filter i.e where clause on the entire table, then go to Content Tab of the LTS
Enter your WHERE clause filters in the section - Use this "WHERE clause".....
The above modifications will apply where clause on all the columns
Please mark if it is helpful
