Handling Reports if subject area is changed
Hi,
We are using OBIEE 11g. We developed around 30 reports and around 50 prompts but problem is the Subject Area we used is now INVAID because its Re-Named.
My Question is what is the fastest way to link the reports and prompts to new subject area assuming all the table and column names will be same.
Thanks
You can create aliases for the subject area to reflect the same name used prior to the change. In order to do that follow the steps below:
1) Open the RPD.
2) Double click on the subject area which was renamed and navigate to the aliases tab.
3) Click on New Icon and type the subject area name prior to the change.
Thanks,
-Amith.

Dependency between reports and subject area
Hi,
We are using OBIEE 10.1.3.3.
I would like to find out all the reports in a catalog which are dependent on a specific Subject Area.
Is there a way to quickly determine that ? Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you.Hi
In the newer versions you can use an option in the catalog manager 'Create Report' which will extract Report Name, Subject area, etc....and puts in a csv file which will meet your purpose. I am not sure if this feature is available in x.3.3 -
Need to create a job history report - what subject areas have this detail?
I need to create a report that shows all the history of an employee's job title, date changed, etc., what Subject Area provided this detail?
Employee ID, Name, Effective Date, Job Code, Job Title
Example:
123456 Smith, John 01/10/2015 90078 Customer Service Manager Promotion
123456 Smith, John 09/08/2013 90075 Customer Service Supervisor Transfer
Is there such a means to provide this?
Thank you!Yes, but it only has one generic Date column, no start date and end date. I can't use that twice in the prompt. Although I can specify it to be 'between', but I'm not sure I can pass values to both variables like that.
Currently I have used Campaign Start Date and Campaign End Date to enter values in calender format to the variables. -
Change subject area of existing reports......
hi all
Is it possible to change the subject area of the existing reports.
in my case i had 3 reports on my dashboard having different subject areas.
i went to the rpd level. and created a new subject area within the rpd which consists of all the 3 subject areas.
is it possible, that i can use this new integrated subject area for my reports and dashboards that i creatd
regards
mahisgo to the advanced tab of each request/report
then you find Enter the name of the Subject Area field.. where you see your old subject area
replace that with your new subject area name..
Note: need not to click on Set SQL
you also can do that in catalog manager.. open that report, right click properties > edit xml, replace old subject area name with new one...
but, i prefer first one
finally, why your all threads are opened?
close them if they answered and respond back to them by assigning points..

Can we change the subject area of an existing report
Hi,
Is it possible to change the subject area of an existing anlaysis?
Thanks,
KK@842704 - Yes, you can change. Go to the Advanced Tab of the report, in the Request XML find and replace the name of your old SA name with the new name. Once done hit the Set XML button to apply your changes and save your report. We had done this for few reports and observed that mainly there are two instances found in the XML where the name of SA appears.
<saw:criteria subjectArea="SAName">
<saw:filter subjectArea="SAName">
@Deepak - Had a query regarding changing the name of Subject Area with the option you provided. When we had tried to use that option (which is simpler than what I mentioned above), we observed that it used to work fine. However, in the request XML we found that for saw:criteria tag the value was updated but not for saw:filter (it still used to hold the name of old SA). Although the report worked fine. Any thoughts regarding this behaviour?

Changing date format for some of the date columns in a subject area
Hi,
I have a requirement to change the date format for some of the date columns to dd-mon-yyy for only a particular subject area. Is there a feature available in the RPD which can help me do this?
In Answers - Column Properties for a Particular column of a report, we can save the style and formatting as system wide default for the particular column or the data type, but that applies across subject areas.
I tried with the config files too , but that too applies to all suject areas.
Thanks in Advance,
GauravWhy don't you create 2 logical column derived from same date physical col and then change the format for one logical column and use it in Subject Area ?

GovardhanaYes, i can see datatype and number of columns is same in both queries.
i have challanges to copy message but Error message seems to general. Error says (near to FROM) and I checked there are three FROM in query and all seems to be ok
Query is something like as below
select SA1.col1 saw_0,
SA1.col2 saw_1,
SA2.col1 saw_2,
SA2.col2 saw_3,
FROM
(select col1 saw_0, col2 saw_1 from "subject area1") SA1

Report using colmns from 2 subject areas
Hi,
I have to buld a report as below
Product ForecastRevenue(A) ActualRevenue(B) Variance
A 200 100 100
B 200 200 0
ForecastRevenue(A) comes from 1 subject area and ActualRevenue(B) comes from another subject area. Using these 2 columns from different subject area I have to create
a calculated column variance which is the difference of two columns. How can I create this report. Any idea?can be done in two ways;
1. Using Union report
Create a union report with two request.
Request1 - product Forecast_Revenue Actual Revenue
Col expression "product.name" "Fact.Revenue" 0
Request2 - product Forecast_Revenue Actual Revenue
Col expression "product.name" 0 "Fact.ACTUAL_Revenue"
In the result tab create a pivote report and set the aggregation of fact column as sum.
Add a calculated column and write the expression as
Farecast_Revenue - Actual_Revenue
You are done.
2. Use the advance tab in the report and write a custom SQL to join these two subject area.
eg.
select product, A.forecast_reveneu, B.Forecast_Reveneue, A.forecast_reveneu-B.Forecast_Reveneue
from SA1 A join SA2 B on (A.product=B.PRODUCT)
You are done.
Best of Luck,

Report from multiple subject areas

Passing a value from Report A to B when B is in a different Subject Area
I had posted a question previously on how to pass the Dept # from Report A to B when B i in a different Subject Area. The question was:
Report A is a table on the Dashboard that shows Actual vs Budget results by Department. I want the user to click on the Department and be navigated to report B that shows the detail transactions that make up the Actual results. Report A and B are from different underlying subject areas. Thus when I navigate to report B, I see ALL departments, and not the one I clicked on in Report A to bring up Report B. How can I limit the results in Report B to be just the respective cell I clicked on in Report A?
I got great advice from Nico on how to use the GO URL, but I can only get that to work if the 2 reports in question are from the same data model. In my case they are NOT.
The GO URL seems to be working, as it does open up Report B when I click on the Department field in Report A, but it does not pass the Department number to Report B, even though reprot B has that field "as prompted".
Can anyone definitively indicate whether what I'm trying to do is not possible in BI EE?Read this from Venkat... I think this will be helpful in understanding prompts, both the column prompts (Answers) type and the dashboard prompts. Very useful, I think.

I’m trying to use the Rank function in a report and I’m having issues getting it to work. I’m using the Shared Activities subject area and would like to rank activities by Contact. Since there are multiple activity association to the users (attendees), I’m not getting the correct ranking order. Here is what I tried so far…
RANK(Activity."Task Due Date" By Contact."Contact ID")
RANK(Activity."Task Due Date" By Contact."Contact ID", Activity."Activity ID")
RANK(Activity."Task Due Date" By Contact."Contact ID", Employee."Employee ID")
I don’t mind getting the same values for the same dates but the increment should be in sequence. What I’m getting is 1,1,3,3,5,6,6… I want to show only 5 recent activities and so need the sequence of 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4… If not date, what else is there to make it unique? I tried to rank it by Contact Id, Activity Id, Emp Id, etc. Nothing works!
I have tried other functions like RCOUNT, TopN, BottomN, ect. with no luck.Hi Max
Our requirement is to see all the activities for a server in a month ONLY IF there are activities on DIFFERENT dates. So using my example, server2 has activties on 7/1 and 7/14. Then we want to see all the activities for server2 in that month. Server3 has two activities but both activities are on the same date. So we don't want to see server3.
Counting by server will not work because that will include server3 in my example.
What I really want is to be able to count unique occurrences of dates per server in a month. And if this count is > 1, then this server will be in the report.
I used a pivot table to count the unique occurrences of dates by server by month. So using my example, I have this result:
Server1-July: 1
Server2-July: 2
Server3-July 1
What I really want (conceptually) is to be able to filter this pivot table by the matrix column which is the count. I just couldn't figure out how to do that :). Then I thought I could use this report (with pivot table result) as a filter into another report.
Hope you have some idea....:)

Font and font color are getting changed for SAP R/3 report in portal
Hai,
We are using ITS 6.2 patch 26 and EP 6.0.
When i run a SAP R/3 4.6C report in ITS 6.2, the report content are shown in Courier New font with blue color.
When i run the same report from portal, the report content are shown in Arial font with blackish blue color.
Can anyone tell why in portal the font attributes are getting changed and how to have the same font attributes in portal also.
Regards,
H.K.Hayath Basha.Hi
Please go to System Administration -> Portal Display -> Themes.
You can change the font type , color and size from here and have to properly assign it to the Desktop for the users for which these font should be displayed .
