Ho to create Publications Reports using OBIEE 11g BI Publisher

Hi All,
I have a report, actually a publication to be printed on pdf. The content is basically lot of formatted text such as in any text book or manual such as table of contents, index, all type of graphs/charts , tabular information with numbers, foot notes at the bottom etc, etc. It looks like any user manual.
Is such report possible in OBI 11g BI publisher? If yes, then how to do data modeling for such report to display in BI publisher report?
The source of those is in Essbase cube. Hw to create data model so as to print the information (so that related paragraphs are one after other, with embedded charts, tables etc) in logically correct sequence?. Are there any cube deisgn factors which can affect the publisher data model? wht r those?
The amount of text, with grapth, tables is very huge as in any manual.
I want to suggest tool to customer for surch publication report. Customer has purchased OBI 11g for reporting suite which includes BI publisher.., and Hyoperion Essabse application for budget planning.
ab
Can such report be done in OBI 11g Answers? IF it can be done both Publisher, as well as Answers, then which one would be better option?
Can Hyperion Financial Reporting tool can do this kind of report?
Need your suggestions inputs...
If not then, are there any tools the market which can do such report development, which I can suggest to the customer..
Thanks
Santosh

Santosh,
Yes. It is possible to create such "books" using BI Publisher. It will take some effort as it needs planning and some custom code but definitely possible.
One of the key features to use is "Book Binding" along with BI Publisher's power to source information from different data sources.
A good starting point for this is:
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/bookbindng_samples
I have done this myself for a couple of customers and produced all features you are asking: Table of Contents, Footers, Charts, even hyperlinks.

    Yes you can create an IBot for the specific dashboard/answers which you want it to delivered to specific person or your self via mail. you need to define the require parameters for the IBot and also schedule it depending upon your requirement so that once the run is completed it will send the job to mail.

  • Problem in Getting Count answer for the report in OBIEE 11g..

    Hi friends,
    I created a report in OBIEE 11g, but i'm not getting the correct answer as i expected...I'm getting answer in presentation services but the answer is wrong..
    I'll explain to you with an example report: Suppose in the report "NATIONALITY COUNT IN DEPARTMENT WISE" manner
    i dragged the Nationality column from per_all_people_f which is dim table and i dragged the column that i applied aggregation rule "count" for the column "nation count" from per_all_assignments_f which is fact table......If i viewed answers means i'm getting correct answer
    (i.e.) nation count per Nationality..........
    NATIONALITY<---------------------->NATION COUNT
    AUSTRALIA 40
    INDIA 20
    AFRICA 10
    USA 5
    The above is the answer I'm getting with out including the department column from hr_all_organization_units...........
    But since according to the report i need count in department wise manner, so for that along with nationality and nation count column i dragged department column from hr_all_organization_units which is dim table and also i hide that column as i dont want to view the department column in answers..........
    If i clicked answers, means then I'm not getting the nation count for the nationality......... I'm getting the answer 0 for each and every nationality, if i included the hided department column
    NATIONALITY<----------------->NATION COUNT
    AFRICA 0
    AUSTRALIA 0
    INDIA 0
    USA 0
    I'm getting answers like the above if i include the department dimension column which is in hided manner.........................
    What is wrong with it........Whether i made any logical mistake for the report.....If so guide me friends..........
    Cheers,
    Harry...........

    Hi,
    you said about writing query in DB.......whether U meant of trying checking the query in toad..or something else..........
    Since im giving only one join from dim to fact in the physical diagram........
    But more than one join exist between those dim and fact, but im giving only one join mainly the primary key column of the dimension table to the fact table....Whether i need to give all the joins that exist(even if it has 2 or 3 joins between those fact and dim) tables....
    If i give count distinct means it is giving count for every nation as 1....like i mentioned below
    NATIONALITY<----------------------------------------------------->NATION COUNT
    INDIA---------------------------------------------------------------------1
    AUS------------------------------------------------------------------------1
    CAN------------------------------------------------------------------------1
    Since you said to check about depts of the particular column....i couldn't able to understand about "depts" that you meant????

  • How to build a Analysis report in OBIEE 11g

    Hi All,
    I have a query regarding 'How to' to build an analysis report in OBIEE 11g.
    The data model is a financial data model, where information such as Actual, Plan, Forecast, What - if etc for current AND prior year need to be displayed in a dashboard.
    I created two analysis reports one for current year Rep1 and second for prior year Rep2 each with filter criteria as current year and prior year respectively based on years column. and then in the dashboard I created prompt based on scenario column (radio button) for Actual, plan, Forecast, and wht if.
    I am able to show the current vs prior year data in the same dashboard for Actual or Plan or forecast or what if (depending on data availability in the database).
    I want to achieve the same information in a single analysis report instead of two separate analysis reports. I do not want to create separate physical report for current and prior year data.
    I need one analysis report which I can use in dashboard and depending on selection for scenario (actual , plan, forecast or wht if) I want to show the current AND prior year data the way I achieved in with two seperate reports embedded in their respective sections as explained above.
    Does any one have idea how to achive this by building single analysis report?
    If you need any more clarificaiton or have any queries, please let me know.
    Thanks and Regards
    Santosh

    As per I understand your requirement,
    In your Dashboard create a Presentation variable which receives the value of year you select.
    Now in your analysis, select the year column along with all the measures you want (Actual, plan, Forecast, and what-if, etc).
    Create a filter on Year column and convert it into SQL. Put the condition as:
    "Year" BETWEEN @{Presentaion_Variable} - 1 AND @{Presentation_Variable}
    You will get the result for selected year and the previous year.
    Hope it helps..

    I get the same issue. I thought that it's a problem in a security - the catalog pane is clear in a union report. But saved filters work in 11g. I migrated catalog from 10g to 11g and I see saved filters in the conditions. But you may add saved filters directly into xml. Go on Tab Advanced and edit Analysis XML. You have to add code like this
    <sawx:expr xsi:type="sawx:savedFilter" path="/shared/FOLDER/_filters/FOLDER/FILTER_NAME" name="FILTER_NAME"/> in a right place.

    Please advice.
    Thanks,

    Using Table View:
    Table Properties->Edit View
    Se the max number at 'Rows per Page'
    Or use Pivot Table View

  • How to create a report using XML data source from Crystal Report Designer

    Hi,
    Iu2019m having Crystal Report Designer XI R2 SP4. Iu2019m trying to create a report using XML data source stored on disk. This is a customer order report and the xml is structured in such a way that it has an order details header part (master) and then it has several order lines (detail). One order line can have several order line characteristics (detail-detail). So what I need to know is now I can design this layout from the designer. If this was done using views I can do it with sub-reports but using xml data this seems to be different. Can you help me to design this layout? I have included the xml and xsd as well.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Sourashree,
    Thank you for the response and ideas you have given me so far. I can get the fetch the data from the data source without any problem. That is I do the following,
    1.     New Report
    2.     From Create New Connection-> XML
    3.     Provide the u201CLocal XML Fileu201D and have u201CSpecify Schema Fileu201D checked -> Next
    4.     Provide the u201CLocal Schema Fileu201D  -> Finish
    Then I can see the following under XML
    + CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
            CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
    And from here if I add the following three I can get all the fields I need to the report
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
    Then I come to the Linking section. Here I canu2019t link anything. There is a common field called u201CInternal_IDu201D but I canu2019t link using it. So I get a message when I click Next. From here I add all the fields.
    For this point onwards only I need help. How do I group, add fields and design the layout so I can get an report output as follows.

    Characteristic details belonging to Order line 5
    How can I achieve this kind of a layout using the give xml and xsd? Should I use grouping if so how should I do the grouping?
    I have included the full xml and xsd in the first mail I posted but I canu2019t see it now. I can include that again if you want.

  • Create statspack report using sql*developer

    Hello,
    While connecting with PERFSTAT user I can not create statspack report using SQL*Developer:
    @?/rdbms/admin/awrrpt
    Error starting at line 1 in command:
    @?/rdbms/admin/awrrpt
    Error report:
    Unable to open file: "?/rdbms/admin/awrrpt.sql"
    Actually, my problem or question is that how can PERFSTAT user can generate statspack reports from a Client side. What is the other way a non-dba can see the snapshots histroy and generate report (by using perfstat user ) while joing tables or using views?
    Thanks a lot.
    Best Regards

    Hi,
    for awr reports @?/rdbms/admin/awrrpt (you need EE+Diagnostic Pack) there is a solution.
    Grant execute dbms_workload_repository to <user>;
    Grant select_catalog_role to <user>;
    get all SNAP_IDs
    SELECT   TO_CHAR(s.startup_time,'YYYY.MM.DD HH24:MI:SS') INSTART_FMT,
             di.instance_name INST_NAME,
             di.db_name DB_NAME,
             s.snap_id SNAP_ID,
             TO_CHAR(s.end_interval_time,'YYYY.MM.DD HH24:MI:SS') SNAPDAT,
             s.snap_level LVL
    FROM    dba_hist_snapshot s,
             dba_hist_database_instance di
    WHERE   di.dbid = s.dbid
             AND di.instance_number = s.instance_number
             AND Di.Startup_Time = S.Startup_Time
    ORDER BY snap_id desc;
    Select * From Table(Sys.Dbms_Workload_Repository.Awr_Report_Html(DBID, 1, BEGIN_SNAP_ID, END_SNAP_ID));
    For statspack i don't know a solutuion. I think the best idea is, create a job to make the statspack report on the server side and access it via external tables or mail them forward to you.
    Best regards
    Thomas
