Graph Data Labels in OBIEE 11g - Customizing

Hi folks!
Would somebody know how to select what is shown in graph data labels in OBIEE 11g?
For example in a scatter graph data label I'd like to show the Group only (not the combination of Series, Group, X and Y, as by default). For a pie chart one can select the data shown in data labels to some extent (name / value), however couldn't find this option for scatter graph.
After searching I could only find instructions for 10g - such as John's instructions at http://obiee101.blogspot.com.es/2008/01/obiee-xy-and-data-in-mouse-over-label.html.
However, my understanding is that the graph engine in OBIEE 11g is now different, and the 10g instructions are not valid for 11g anymore.
I was also having a look on the .cxml files in OBIEE 11g but those seem to relate to colors only?
Any help appreciated, best regards,
Ilmari

hello,
i'm facing the same situation here,did you find a solution for your problem?

Oracle EBS Discoverer as a data source for OBIEE 11g

We are a heavy user of Discoverer workbooks with Oracle EBS. We're moving to OBIEE 11g(11.1.1.3) and have an RPD with both 3rd party and custom content.
I wanted to ask the experts here how I can leverage my Discoverer investment with out a lot of re-work in OBIEE. I briefly looked at the MigrateEUL.exe and it says it can move an EUL to an RPD, but talks about some limitations for complex EULs such as an EBS Apps EUL. Even if it created an RPD, I'm not sure how I can merge my current RPD and this newly gen'd RPD.
I also heard from someone that there is a way to setup Discoverer EUL as a standard data source in OBIEE 11g and consume it directly. I'm looking for a document or blog that explains these steps. Any pointers or experiences with the above is appreciated!!
Thanks.

Hi,
For some more details, you can refer to the following document;
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/discoverer/discoverer-metadata-conversion-assi-128504.pdf
My personal expreriences:
The Metadata Conversion Utility is an accellerator / assistant. It does not provide you with an end product. There is some additional handwork requiered. It could be a risk when you copy an old Oracle Discoverer environment. Shit in is shit out. Last but not least; There is not yet a workbook migration utility.

How to change the default date format in OBIEE 11g from the MM/DD to DD/MM. Could anyone please help me out ASAP?
Thanks,

Hi Arpan
OBIEE 11g is having " localedefinitions.xml " file at this Location C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\display
in my case i installed at C:\Oracle\MIddleware.
so
1- Stop BI Server from EM
2- Navigate to this Location C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\display. in your case oracle home will be different
3- take a backup of this file localedefinitions.xml "
4- modify it and save
5- bring BI Server up.

Hi,
The default messages displayed is getting displayed when a report returns no data in OBIEE 11g. I am aware of that, we can overide the default message with our Custom message at "Analysis" level. but it is very painful to do.
I am looking for a file where we can override the default messages with our custom message at one place.
Also, I have gone through the below link for this but it has change at the language level. I tried to change it at language "l_en" level but it did not work.

Hi Nagen,
Using a custom message should also work in 11g. Refer to this link for setting up custom messages in 11g.

BarLine Combo graph data labels

Hi All,
In a bar-line combo graph, i want to show the data labels of the bar always and show the line data labels when i rollover it. how can i implement it?
I changed the 'show data labels' to 'always' in general chart properties which is making all the labels to show instead i just want bar data to be shown always.
Thanks

You might have to build a custom chart type (by copying the original) and modify the system properties to acheive it ... but really I'm not sure if you'll get that level of control.

Break for Horizontal Axis Labels in OBIEE 11g Bar Chart

Hi all,
I have a vertical bar chart created in OBIEE 11g. The horizontal axis (x-axis) is a compound of Scenario, Year, and Month. The chart width is already long enough so it cannot be made any longer.
The chart looks like this (the label of horizontal axis is staggered):
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
Actual Feb 2012____________Actual Apr 2012
___________Actual Mar 2012_____________Actual May 2012
How can I force the labels for the horizontal axis to be broken into 2 lines (or even 3 lines), so that it will look like this:
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___Actual________Actual________Actual________Actual
__Feb 2012_____Mar 2012_____Apr 2012______May 2012
Any advice? Thanks a lot!

Hi Stewart,
I could not try this yet, but how about 'Enabling the Contains HTML Markup' for the columns for Heading and including a '</br>' tag at the end of the name.
Ex: Column - >Properties -> column Format -> Column Heading -> Enable Contains HTML Markup -> Column Heading's suffix =less than symbol /br greater than symbol (Oracle forums is even break the line too!! ;) So included the text)
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

Not able to save date column with custom date format. in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have migrated one report from OBIEE 10g to 11g. There is a date column with customized date format(i.e. Default format is 'dd-MMM-yyyy' and I have used 'MMM-yyyy').
But when I use this custom format and try to save the report in 11g its giving this below error.
''Catalog object privilege validation failed for user to path /shared/ALM BI/Finacial Results/History Income Statement Detail.
You do not currently have sufficient privileges to save a report or dashboard page that contains HTML markup.
This HTML might be present in column headings, table headings, text views, narrative views, the print header,
or the print footer and must be removed before saving.''
Please let me know what changes I need to do for this.

Why don't you just remove the Year dimension from the "Group By (Horizontal Axis)" section?

OBIEE 11g Custom Application Roles

Hello Experts,
I would need to create our Custom BI Consumer, Author Application Roles. I have followed the steps are
1) Created an Application Role "Revenue Data Access Role" for Data Level Security and added the users into it
2) Selected the existing BI Consumer Role & Created Like "Revenue Dashboard Consumer Access Role" and added "Revenue Data Access Role" into it.
3) Selected the existing BI Consumer Application Policies & Created like "Revenue Dashboard Consumer Access Role"
After Restarting OBIEE, I could see that Data level security is working fine but the users don't have Consumer Level access at dashboard level. am i missing anything here? Please advice.

John,
We can do it in repository level right..Manage---Security-Application Role.... double click the application role there u can set right?Correct me if am wrong?
Thanks,
SN.

Date Variable in Obiee 11g

Hi All,
I have created a dynamic repository variable that gives the current date. The date is given in the following format 'MM/DD/YYYY'. This is format that I want the date to appear in. In the presentation catalog, I have created a presentation variable dashboard promt called StartDate, that defaults to the repository variable CurrentDate. I have also created a report that has a number of measures filtered in different ways. If we take one of the measures in the report, what I have done is edited the formula to filter the measure by reported_date>Date'@{StartDate}'.
Now when I got and see my dashboard I get an error, 'Datetime value 06/07/2011 from 06/07/2011 does not match the specified format'. However when I click 'Apply' on the prompt, the error does not appear and it just says that there is no data for this report.
Can someone please help me solve this problem?
Thanks,
Nikita

I solved this issue by using steps listed here http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/cast_as_date.

Date format in OBIEE 11g is changed.

Hi,
we have installed 11.1.1.5 on linux x86-64bit machine. after that we upgraded the OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 rpd and catalog to OBIEE 11.1.1.5.
everything was working fine at this stage.
After that we did some development in 10g ... and again upgraded the rpd and catalog to 11.1.1.5 using upgrade assistant.
but after that the date format in all the date prompts on the dashboards is changed to MM/dd/YYYY.
How to change it back to dd/MM/YYYY?

Hi Visal,
Please award points it is useful the above answer.
2. After installation the date format default : DD-MM-YYYY.
I am not sure, I think you need install patch file in this version on your server or you need to change ALTER SESSION set NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD/MM/YYYY'.
I though this is bug in server version.
What server its showing this format means(Unix,Linux,AIX)?
Award points it is useful.
Thanks,
Satya

Date problem in obiee 11g

Hi,
Our fact table is having the date on one hour interval basis.
EX: 14-AUG-2012 11:00:00 AM
14-AUG-2012 12:00:00 PM
14-AUG-2012 01:00:00 PM
The Times table we created is having day format.
EX: 14-AUG-2012 12:00:00 AM
15-AUG-2012 12:00:00 AM
16-AUG-2012 12:00:00 AM
Both columns datatype is DATE.
When we join fact table with Times table, the results are coming only for one interval per day i.e.for
14-AUG-2012 12:00:00 AM,
15-AUG-2012 12:00:00 AM,
16-AUG-2012 12:00:00 AM. The remanining 23 intervals from fact table are missing
Please help me how should I get all the 24 interval values, say by using trunc, todate function in admin tool. I cannot change the times table to one hour basis like wise in fact table.
THANKS in Advance.

There's no reason that joining by surrogate keys is better than joining with DATES. As a matter of fact... the Oracle database will join more efficiently with DATES than it will with NUMBERS. Tom Kyte demonstrates this time and time again on his site, but here is one example: http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:4632159445946.
Also... using WID's, as the BI Apps does, means that the fact tables can't be partitioned on DATE datatypes. That's fine for the BI Apps as a packaged solution, but that is not the optimal solution when building a custom data warehouse. DATES belong in DATE datatypes.

Adding a XML Data source in Obiee 11g on Linux

Hi guys, I need your help.
I'm creating a new database in the physical layer as XML.
On the connection pool (named xml_source), I’m setting the path to the XML file, inside the datasourse name, with this format: /u01/app/xmltest/
My XML test file is this: xml_test.xml, So in the table information, I’m setting the xml file name as this: xml_test (without the xml extension)
The issue is when I’m trying to issue the SQL, the error message displayed says:
Query Failed: [nQSError: 64023] cannot access /u01/app/xmltest\xml_test.xml: No such file or directory
As you can read in the error message there is a “\” just before the xml file. So in Linux it is not a "\" but a "/", why is obiee setting a wrong path? How can I "tell" obiee that this is a Linux environment not a Windows?
Thank you in advance.

Sorry for my mistake, but I've found a tab called XML in the Physical Table properties. I've set the entire URL to the file and now I'm able to issue sql queries to it. Thanks!
