Hint in OBIEE reports

Hi Users,
I want to use hint in a particular report.
How we can use this.
I know there is option to apply hints in rpd in physical table but then it will be apply on my all of the reports using this tables.
But we want to apply hint on particular (single)report.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
S

How to use Oracle Hints in OBIEE

Hello guys
I have a report that is running forever and I have reviewed the explain plan over and over, which makes me think that the join between these 2 tables are slowing everything down --- The fact table has 10Billion records and the Dim has 10 Millions records. Even if the report has filters on various columns of the 2 tables, it is still taking forever. The explain is showing that its doing a nested loop join of these 2 tables which takes a lot of time.
I am thinking of using some Hint to force the query to scan the dimension table first (with the filter condition I defined, it will return 80 rows only from Dim table), and then use the result set of the scanning to go and look for matching records only in the fact table. Its should help speed up the query..
I'd like to know what kind of hints can help with that kind of operation, also how to define these kind of hints in OBIEE. Now I know that in Physical Layers, I can include hints in physical table property, but how to determine which table (fact or dim) to embed the join hints?
Need advice from anybody who have experience working with hints?
Much appreciation!

Just an update:
I have tried a couple of join operation hints like USE_NL and USE_HASH hints, it changes the join method but didn't help with performance at all.
The original SQL that OBIEE generates is: ----------Takes about 20 mins to return a dozen rows
select sum(T991020.LP Amount) as c1,
T991021.DAYOFWEEK as c2,
T991021.PU DATES as c3
from RD_Grant.PU_DATES T991021, Dimension -----Huge
PU_Grant.PU_FACTS_9 T991020 FACT ----Gigantic
where (T991020.COMPANY = T991021.COMPANY
and T991020.DATES = T991021.DATES
and T991020.DATES between "10/10/2009" and "31/10/2009"
and T991021.DAYOFWEEK = 'Sunday'
and T991021.DATES between '09/13/2009' and '11/03/2009')
group by T991021.PU DATES, T991021.DAYOFWEEK
Basically I am still thinking of finding a way to force the query to scan the dimension table first (with the filter condition I defined, it will return 80 rows only from Dim table), and then use the result set of the scanning to go and look for matching records only in the fact table. Its should help speed up the query..
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Parallel hint in OBIEE 11g

Dear All,
I am new to OBIEE. Can any one tell me how to add parallel hint in 11g. Is Oracle BI Presentation Service ignores any DB Hint added to query while parsing. If yes, how to overcome this. We need to add parallel hint in few report to make things faster, i do not want to touch the table level hints as it is affecting my performance.
I have gone through oracle doc ID 823193.1
Thanks and Regards,
Anand.

- you can increase the width of a column -> column format values -> Additional Formatting Options
increase the width:
- Report level:
result tab -> Click on Format container of Table -> Additional Formatting Options
u can assign value width : 500 height:.....
- dashboard level:
Edit options -> section -> Format section -> Additional Formatting Options

Help required in building OBIEE Report

Hi,
Can anyone help me to below OBIEE issues as I am very new to this field.
1. The requirement is to create one Oracle Apps Projects OBIEE report which was previously in discoverer. The discoverer report has 6 worksheet and many custom folders and many custom functions used in worksheet. Now my question is what will be the best design in OBIEE RPD? As the data are coming as joining many folders so how that can be managed in OBIEE RPD physical layer?
2. How custom database functions can be called in OBIEE? The discoverer report has multiple database functions (coming from custom package))called in Calculation in worksheet level so how can I call these database functions to OBIEE rpd or OBIEE answers?
3. How do I make dimension fact in business mapping layer as the base report is based on the discoverer custome folders? So what will be the best case design for fact dimension?
4. How the data LOV can be created in OBIEE?
5. Is there any way to create sql queries in rpd for obiee reports? Suppose I have source data like this
select ....
from table a, table b
where joins..........
union
select statements.
How this type of data can be mapped into obiee rpd?
The requirement is to fetch the data directly from oracle ebs in obiee rpd without going to ETL.
Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Titas

One thing you could do is create an object model first, which will contain all the data for your user.
then all you need in the bean is a Hashtable with the name of the user as a key, and the user-object (which is actually the complete object model) as a value.
with the XML stated by you, you would get an object model something like this:
Class User
 String cwsid;
 String firstName;
 ArrayList<Role> roles = new ArrayList<Role>(); //I'm assuming a user can have more then one role.
 ArrayList<Country> countries = new ArrayList<Country>();
class Role {
 String code;
 String name;
class Country {
 String code;
 String name;
}And so on for all the varioous elemets of your XML.

Hints on Interactive Report's column headers

Hi,
I've used +"< spa.n title = "Hint" > Header "+ (the first 'spa.n' is so it doesn't interpret as code) to put hints on my report columns headers but found that, when using interactive report's tools, the column names that appear obviously include the "code".
Is there any way to put hints on interactive report columns and still maintain the proper title(in this case Header) when using the tools?
Thank you,
Marc

Hi,
Thank you for the tip Ghoulies. The spaces I put trying to make it read as text. The code works fine, it actually shows the Header in the report's column and the hint appears on mouse-over.
What I mean is, when using interactive report's tools, such as "Select Columns", The header {code} appears as the column name in the +display / not display+ boxes.
Is there any other way to put hints on Interactive reports so that this doesn't happen?

Try going it by Sno.
If you are using Pivot Table, try changing measures from columns to rows and see. I vaguely remember doing this would address your need

OBIEE Report w/Drilldown

I have the following requirment to create a report from a relational model.
Report needs to show the following:
Location
Date
Number of Visits to Location (Per Month)
Number of Visits to Location (Per Day)
Number of Visits to Location (Per Time Interval/Every 30 minutes)
Report needs to drill down as follows:
Drilldown on Location to show all dates in month that had visits for that location.
Drilldown on date to show all visits for that day with times.
Currently all the above information is available in one view in database. How can I make this into an OBIEE report. Thanks in advance!

OBIEE report with Click button ( want to perform some actions)

Hi Experts,
My users want to make adhoc changes to an OBIEE report where I want to place a click button at the bottom of the report. Once the changes are done, They want to click the button so that the most current logical sql is captured and then it takes to another http url .
If any one have worked or has any ideas on this, Please share. Thanks in Advance.
S

Hi S,
Can you elaborate on what you mean by capturing the most current logical SQL?
What you are asking is only going to be as difficult as it is to perform the above action. The button and the navigate are simple.
John Minkjan shows you how to make a clear button here.
Basically you leverage the OBIEE class XUIPromptEntry minibuttonOn.
Here's the code (NOTE: You have to change the curly brackets to angular brackets):
{div class="XUIPromptEntry minibuttonOn"}{a href="#" onclick="return PersonalizationEditor.removeDefaultSelection(false)"}Clear{a}{div}
You can take this and modify it slightly to fit your purpose:
{div class="XUIPromptEntry minibuttonOn"}{a href="(URL to move to)" onclick="(javascript function that performs your task)"}Do Action Button{a}{div}
In the above, you will put the URL you want to navigate to in the (URL to move to) area. Then in the onclick function, you're going to want to write a javascript function that captures the latest logical SQL and have OBIEE call that function.
All that being said, this effort hinges on whether or not a javascript function can perform your task.
If you can elaborate on what you mean, I might be able to get you started on that function.
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!
Best regards,

OBIEE Report Export from Dashboard to Excel doesn't suppress the columns as expected even after the properties are set to Suppress in the report. In Dashboard it is suppressed Properly but in the excel export it is not suppressed and values for the columns are repeated.
Added the following to the instanceconfig :

Problem solved!!
 
See this part of the query:
 
if :P15_GESTOR_PROPIETARI='-3' then 
w:= w||' AND (("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID"=:GESTOR '; 
w:= w||'OR "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID_ESTA_ASSIGNADA"=:GESTOR)'; 
w:= w||'OR ("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."AGR_***_***_ID"=:P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB ';
w:= w||' AND "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."PUBLICA"=''S''))'; 
end if; 
 
when instead of :P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB I put a value (say ''EE'') it works correctly, finally I created an application item (ASSOCIAT) and when when I change :P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB I set :ASSOCIAT to the same value and the query is based on this application item:
 
if :P15_GESTOR_PROPIETARI='-3' then 
w:= w||' AND (("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID"=:GESTOR '; 
w:= w||'OR "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID_ESTA_ASSIGNADA"=:GESTOR)'; 
w:= w||'OR ("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."AGR_***_***_ID"=:ASSOCIAT '; 
w:= w||' AND "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."PUBLICA"=''S''))'; 
end if;

Linking to an OBIEE report without showing the user and password

Hi!
we are trying to access to an obiee report from an external portal (coded with php).
The idea is that the user clicks on a link an gets the report in pdf format. For that purpose we are using this url:
http://ttivobiee01:7001/analytics/saw.dll?Go&Path=/shared/Prueba/ogp_obi&Action=Print&P0=1&P1=eq&P2="Criteria"."Key"&P3=1402&NQuser=user&NQPassword=pass&format=pdf
But this url is expossing OBIEE's user and password.
In order to avoid this security issue we tried to do an wget of the url but it doesn't return the report. Instead we get an html, which seams to download the report chunk by chunk (using javaScript).
The question is, is there any way that we could let our portal ussers access to an obbie report without expossing the user and password?
I have been looking into oracle forums and have found this: OBIEE Go URL with password protected
but we couldn't use this aproach due to security issues.
Thanks!
Nuria

Hi!
We have finally done this (and it works!)
<?php

$ch = curl_init($urlInforme);
$ckfile = tempnam ("./", "CURLCOOKIE");
$ch = curl_init ($urlInforme);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $ckfile);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

How to call an OBIEE report from EBS

I have setup the following form function calling SSWA jsp type function
Web HTML
OracleOasis.jsp?mode=OBIEE&function=Go&Path=/shared/APA%20Real%20Time/AR/AR02%20Revenue%20by%20Account%20Report&Action=Prompt
When I click the menu item OBIEE returns the following;
No Columns
The request cannot be performed because it contains no columns.
Can anyone please enlighten me on how to do this correctly
Thanks

Hi Phil,
I did some further investigation. The syntax to your Oracle BI Answers should be as follows;
OracleOasis.jsp?mode=OBIEE&function=Go&parameters=Path~/shared/APA%20Real%20Time/AR/AR02%20Revenue%20by%20Account%20Report
