Filtering specific tables in obiee answers?

In "Answers", is there a way to apply a filter in one table but keep all data in the other?
For example, table 1 would have everything
A
B
C
Table 2 would only have:
B
Do filters always need to be applied across the entire report?

alexsluyter, the "edit formula" option I see on the criteria tab.
This is sortof the scenario I'm dealing with:
Dimension called "customer type", and then a fact table called "revenue".
Logically, could I make a separate table for each customer type without having to create a new formula for each customer?
Could I do this anywhere within the results tab?
The reason I don't want to make a new formula for each customer type is because the data ends up looking like this:
Customer Type Revenue
Type1 $29211
(Blank) #####
It's hard for me to explain, but thanks for your help.

    Hi Deva,
    As you said, I tried creating my table in Pivot view. But the only the measure columns are only retrieving values if the column is a CHARACTER column then no value is retrieved. In that column's aggregation rule only the first and last options are working. What to do to retrieve the values of a character column if it is placed in measure section of pivot table.
    Thanks in Advance

  • Why do we need two tables before OBIEE answer will work ?

    I just imported a physiical table and dragged it to BMM layer and to presentation layer. I am getting these error messages after I save

  • OBIEE Answers and filtered totals

    We try to prepare an reports in OBIEE Answers and we want to take filtered totals of a field.
    Let me clear
    We have a field values as
    FieldSampleTotal VAlues
    Name1                           1000
    Nema1 Detail 1 20
    NAme1 Detail 2 980
    NAme2                           2000
    Because of some hieararchy is data we want to calculated sum of just bold lines.
    it means total is 3000
    Thansks a lot.

    An other option for inter-rows calculation will be to use the filter in one column formula of a table view :
    FILTER(Fact.Values USING (Dim.Colunm = 'Name1' or Dim.Colunm = 'Name2'))I don't see the layout of your final report.
    Do you want to see the details rows ?

  • Field is in DB table/alias but I get ORA904 error using it in OBIEE Answers

    Hello, I'm very new at developing with RPD and OBIEE tools, so I'm struggling with something that I thought I did correctly. I added a new field to a database table, and can query it in the database. I added it to the table in RPD Physical layer and I verified that it also now exists in an alias of that table. The physical alias table field is used as a source for a logical column in the presentation layer. Everything looks good in the RPD. But when I try to pull it up in a query in OBIEE Answers I get a 904 error telling me that the column does not exist. I've bounced the servers, dropped cookies and cache, but nothing helps - I still get the error.
    What step could I have missed?
    Thanks in advance!
    Rich

    THank you all for the advice, but it still appears to be a problem. Here's what I tried and the results:
    1. Right-clicked on the new column to do a row count update. As predicted by Gaurav, this also failed with a 904 error.
    2. Verified exact spelling is correct.
    3. Checked the connection pool. THis looks correct, but I will double-check today with one of my co-workers who has more experience with RPD.
    4. Tried querying the column in RPD - this also failed with 904 error.
    5. Checked the LTS within BMM layer and my new field does map back to the alias column
    6. Ran a consistency check and the only errors (warnnings actually) are for a different, unrelated table.
    7. Checked security and it also looks okay, but this is another one I'll double-check later with one of our experts here.
    8. Joins in physical layer and BMM look good
    9. Checked physical column and table in the presentation layer. These also point to the right columns/tables
    10. Selecting the column by itself in analysis fails with 904.
    If anyone can think of something else to consider based on this please advise. One thing I did notice is that in performing the steps above I noticed somewhere (the BMM I think) that the new column I added is at the bottom of the table (last field) and not in the middle as it is in the database. In past experience with other tools this hasn't mattered, but I'm going to see if I can change that and if that has an effect. I'm guessing it won't but I'm running out of ideas!
    Thanks again,
    Rich

  • Unable to join 3 fact tables in obiee data model.

    Hi,
    I am unable to join the 3 fact tables in obiee rpd. If I join with 2 fact tables I got the data in repors, Once I add the one more fact table and join with related dimensions, I am getting nodata error. I am following all joins keys as per datamodel, I am able to see the data in database. anyone pls give me the solution. Thanks in advance.
    Edited by: 1007582 on May 23, 2013 2:17 AM

    Can you please give some more detail as in what you have model in RPD;
    For example, if There are 3 Fact table F1, F2, F3 and two Dimesion Confirmed_D1, Non_Conf_D2. Confirmed_D1 is joined to all three fact tables and Non_Conf_D2 is joined to F2.
    Now to implement this model we have to set the logical content level in BMM layer for Non_Conf_D2 in F1 & F2 to Total*. After this only we can report on Confirmed_D1, Non_Conf_D2, F1, F2, F3 whithout any error.
    Sometime join with multiple table can also result in No Data, since the join conditions filters out the result data.
    Please mark helpful or correct.

  • Error while running query for a specific table

    Hi All,
    I need your help please.
    I've configured everything correctly in my SCCM environment. And i used to connect the CAS database from a separate box(same domain) which has SSMS console installed in it. Now the problem is, whenever i try to run a query in CAS database locally, it runs
    successfully. But when i connect the CAS database remotely and run the same query with the same login i used in CAS, it says the below error. This is happening from past 2 days only. :'(
    Query ran :
    select top 100 * from v_GS_WORKSTATION_STATUS
    Error :
    Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 1
    Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.
    OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "abc.domain.com" returned message "Invalid connection string attribute".
    I checked the SQL connection authentication information it says authenticated by kerberos using below query :
    SELECT 
        s.session_id
      , c.connect_time
      , s.login_time
      , s.login_name

    But, another wierd information is i can successfully run the below query in remote.
    select * from vSMS_R_System
    I think that specific table is not working in remote. Pleaseeeeeeee helppp me......
    Regards,
    Jay

    Hi JaySmiley,
    According to your description, you get the logon issue when connecting to CAS database remotely and execute query. Right?
    In this scenario, this error can happen when the SPN account is registered without setting 'trusted for delegation' property. Account must be trusted for delegation in order for Kerberos delegation to succeed. Here's a blog talking about your scenario, please
    refer to the link below:

  • How To Restric all kind of access to 2 specific tables in SQL Server for all Users.Instead of table we would like users to go through View.

    Hi All,
    I am looking at an Technical solution for Restricting the direct access some specific tables in my data base  to all the users(Except admins and few Service accounts). However views created on top of these tables would be exposed to all Users.
    Could any one help me with the best solution.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Raja Suri

    Hello,
    You can try to create a new role "Client_User" in the database and deny access to the new role on the specify tables. And then add all user which you want to restricting the direct access the specific tables to the database role.
    For example:
    Use Database
    CREATE ROLE [Client_User] AUTHORIZATION db_securityadmin;
    DENY SELECT ON OBJECT::schema.table TO [Client_User] ;
    EXEC sp_addrolemember 'Client_User', 'username';

    How Aggregate Persistence works in OBIEE?
    Once you are done choosing options in the Aggregate Persistence wizard, it generates an intelligent Query.
    What query is it?
    If you happen to understand the query, it is not like any ANSI standard SQL (I would say DDL) query. As you might have noticed there are no SQL Server datatypes, lengths, keys, constraints etc. This query can only be understood by the BI Server.
    How do I issue this query?
    Since the logical query could only be understood by BI Server, it has to be issued only to BI Server Engine using some tool viz NQCMD in this case.
    What does issuing this query using NQCMD do?
    The execution steps are as follows, the moment the query is issue via NQCMD
    Aggregate Persistent Wiz Generate Query ----- Issued to ---> NQCMD ----- Passes the logical query to ---> BI Server ----- Parses the query ---> Builds the corresponding physical DDL statements Issued --->To the Database --- If successful ---> .RPD is automatically updated with the aggregated sources etc.
    How do I pass the query to BI Server using NQCMD?
    The format of issuing this logical query to BI Server using NQCMD is
    nqcmd -d <Data Source Name> -u <Analytics UserId> -p <Password> -s <command> > output.log
    where
    <Data Source Name> : Is the DSN name which OBIPS uses to talk to Oracle BI Server. Yes, it's the very same DSN that can be found in InstanceConfig.xml
    <Analytics UserID> : Any user in obiee with admin privileges.
    <Password> : Password of the obiee UserId
    <Command> : Logical SQL Command which you already have handy.
    Hope I was good this time..

  • Manual Exporting of BLOB specific table to text file

    Hi,
    Our application is having 60000 record in a BLOB specific table.
    My requirement is to export the entire table data to text files .
    When I tried converting BLOB to sting and writing to file, it took almost 3 mins for 100 records, if so, will take so much of time in exporting data from BLOB specific table.
    I am using the following logic,
    byte[] bdata = blob.getBytes(1, (int)blob.length());
    String data1 = new String(bdata);
    buffer.append(data1);
    Can anyone please tell me how can I speed up the operation.

    Welcome to the forum!
    If you are looking for a pure Java solution you should post this question in the JDBC forum.
    https://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=288
    Unless your BLOB data is located inline you are going to use Oracle to read 60,000 files, one at a time, and then use Java to write 60,000 files one at a time.
    That will be a very slow process.
    Also - your Java code is only going to read the LOB locator and inline BLOB data since you are not getting and processing the actual stream.
    See 'Reading and Writing BLOB, CLOB and NCLOB Data' in the JDBC Dev Guide for details

  • Disable Statistics for specific Tables

    Is it possible to disable statistics for specific tables???

    If you want to stop gathering statistics for certain tables, you would simply not call DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS on those particular tables (I'm assuming that is how you are gathering statistics at the moment). The old statistics will remain around for the CBO, but they won't be updated. Is that really what you want?
    If you are currently using GATHER_SCHEMA_STATS to gather statistics, you would have to convert to calling GATHER_TABLE_STATS on each table. You'll probably want to have a table set up that lists what tables to exclude and use that in the procedure that calls GATHER_TABLE_STATS.

  • OBIEE Answers functionality questions

    Hi,
    I pretty new to OBIEE Answers orginally working with Business Objects XI Webi, I have read through the user guides for Answers but some functionality I would like thats in BO XI but doesnt seem to be avaliable in Answers, Im not sure if its not documented because its more advanced functionality or whether Answers just can't do it ? Is the following functionality avaliable in Answers,
    1. I want to build a report based on 2 queries and then link the data in these queries by a common dimension and display this data in 1 report, for example I have query 1 with fields A,B,C and query 2 with fields A, D, E, I want to link on field A as its common and in the 1 report display the fields A,B,C,D,E
    is this possible ? This is not the same as union / intersect, and is not the same as dashboard showing two query results, I want 1 table showing the results of two queries.
    2. Once you have you data set returned is there anyway to filter on the data displayed in the report without the SQL actually having the filter in ? For example I have 1 query returning 100 rows of data and in that 50 rows are of type = A and 50 are of type = B. I dont want to have two seperate queries one to get all type A and one to get all type B, but I would prefer to return all rows in the query then filter the results in the report itself so I can have 1 report table showing type = A and 1 report table showing type = B, pretty much like how you can add a filter in Excel or again how you would add a report level filter in BO XI ?
