How Complicated is it to move discoverer reports to OBIEE

I need to use the HR Intelligence reports in OBIEE. Can any one tell me how complicated will it be to do that?

Hi Sheryl
Indeed what you likely want is some form of source control. And certainly, splitting the project up and making different folks "captain of their own ship", is one way to roll.
But it sounds like you may have either misunderstood or had the RoboSource control misconfigured. With any source control system, the way it usually works is by storing all the content on the server in the source control database. But for each client connecting to the database, you establish what is called a "Working Folder". And that is usually on each local PC. When you check files out, they are copied to the working folder. So you work locally, but the application handles copying them back and forth to and from the server as you work. That way, you shouldn't be seeing performance issues.
Cheers... Rick

Discoverer Reports and OBIEE

Hi,
Our Company has some Discoverer Reports and we would like to convert those reports into OBIEE. Has Oracle provided any migration or conversion utilities for this excercise? Please let us know.
Thanks and Regards,
-G

Hello
It depends how simple your workbooks are. The more complex they are the more difficult they are to migrate and some Discoverer features will be lost during the translations. Some Discoverer features will not migrate at all.
At this moment in time, with the current state of DOMA, I am coming down on the side of starting from scratch with OBIEE. There are, in my opinion, just too many of Discoverer's nice features that will not migrate. Starting from scratch will allow you to take advantage of all that OBIEE has to offer. Migrating could limit you to what Discoverer had to offer.
You could try a migration and see how much work there is still left to do. However, before you can do that you will need to upgrade Discoverer to 10.1.2.1 at the minimum. If you have already upgraded Discoverer to 10.1.2.1 or 11g you should be able to migrate the metadata. The only supported OBIEE version at this time is 10.1.3.4.1. After you have migrated to 10.1.3.4.1 you can then upgrade it to 11g.

Filter is created based on subject area.we can't use save filter in any other subject areas.

How Can i hard code variable at reports in obiee 11g

Hi
I created as variable at rpd and using variable i am able to get expected results.
But i dont want to use variable directly , how can i hard code variable code at report and get same results.
Can anyone help me on this.
Thanks

Not clear what you trying to achieve, try to go thru given info.
The statement 'select 1 from dual' in init blocks works using connection pool, but the same will not work in report since report understands Presentation Catalog objects.
In the report your query suppose to be like select 1 from Subject area where someColumn >0
If helps pls mark

How to provide custom messages while viewing reports in obiee.

Hi,
I would like to show some custom message in all Dashboards. For instance when a user logs into the Dashboard, the report would take long time to get processed. So what to do so that we could provide custom message stating that.."Please select the required parameters..." or something else.. After selecting the necessary prompts, he would get what he wants..Is there some option in OBIEE where we can place mentioned messages.Thanks in advance...
Regards,
Ajay

One thing
You set default value which is not a database value... like Select Prompt Value something like this...
You set this kind of text as default value for all dashboard prompts.
So, when you click first time dashboard, it runs but leads to get No Results.
Here you can select prompt values and can run reports..
Or else
see this..
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/01/17/oracle-bi-101332-selecting-reports-from-dashboard-prompts-and-guided-navigation-sections/
Use this logic and in writing SQL for prompt, write a custom message that you want to write and then the report name while doing union.
like (let's say your report name is: "Rgn Dlrs")
select case when 1=0 then Markets.region else 'Select Prompt values and Report' end from paint
union all
select case when 1=0 then Markets.region else 'Rgn Dlrs' end from paint
now implement the guided navigation for section and try....

HI All,
Is there a way in OBIEE to find who last ran a particular report? Using catalog manager I was able to get the last accessed time and owner of the report, but not who accessed it last. I have 1000 reports and Mange Sessions in Administration menu is not a good option for me.

How to generate the ATR files for reports with out manually?

Hi all,
how to create the ATR files for reports in OBIEE 11g with out manually?
is there any other method to create the ATR files by using the OBIEE Server?
please provide me the solution for this?
we are creating manually for each and every report, it is time taken process how can we generate ATR files automatically
by using the OBIEE Server?
Thanks,

Hi,
I am afraid not.ATR are attributes files contains the object's full name, access controllist (ACL), description, and so on.Each catalog object has a corresponding attributes file, I am not sure why do you have to generate the atr files.In case you need info about atr files: http://businessdecisionsystems.com/blog/?p=7
If you have huge number of similar reports(with filter variations and same kind of layout), try to play around with the xml to minimize the development effort.

How to use Pl/Sql function in Discoverer report

Hi Everybody,
Would you be able to provide a workflow/guidance how to use sql function in Discoverer right from creating the function using PLSQL Developer.
(I am new to Oracle environment... prev. worked as analyst with Microsoft Access... took PL/Sql class in school a few years ago)
We are using Discoverer Desktop.
a) Just emailed dba for permission to create pl/sql function.
b) Recently got Discoverer Administrator installed on my pc.
can you pls add to the list:
c)....
d)....
etc.?
tx for your help, sandra

Hi Kranthi,
Thx for your warm words....
The links you provided are great! Thx soooo much!
Thanks to you and the rest of forum members, am able to use what you've all taught me
with other Discoverer reports.... so i was able to do more on my own....
About a month ago, I got access to Discoverer Admin, and was able to paste SQL to create a custom folder.
Then i joined the custom folder to an existing baseline folder.
I have found that sometimes when I use calc within a calc when the calcs use analytic functions, that Discoverer
just displays null in the column. I thought that maybe instead I could create my own function as a work-around.
I wrote IT for permissions to create views, functions etc. Hopefully, they'll approve and can move toward learning
pl/sql functions for Discoverer.
tx again, sandra

Discoverer Report: How to find Business Area name from Report Name.

Hi
I opened a report in Disco Desktop 4 -> Resonsibiolity --> Report Name.
So I know Report name but don’t know which Business Area it belongs to.
How to find Business Area Name from Report Name?
Cheers
Vijay

Hi,
There is no relationship between reports and business areas. Each report can be built from many folders. Each folder can be in many business areas.
However you can try the following SQL which may give you the result you want for an v5 EUL. You will have to modify for Discoverer 4 EUL:
select distinct doc_name, obj.obj_name folder_name, bas.ba_name
from eul_us.eul5_documents doc
, eul_us.eul5_elem_xrefs xref
, eul_us.eul5_expressions exp
, eul_us.eul5_objs obj
, eul_us.eul5_ba_obj_links bol
, eul_us.eul5_bas bas
where xref.ex_from_id = doc.doc_id
and doc.doc_name = &your_report
and xref.ex_to_id = exp.exp_id
and obj.obj_id = exp.it_obj_id
and bol.bol_obj_id = obj.obj_id
and bas.ba_id = bol.bol_ba_id

How to submit a concurrent request from Discoverer report.

I would like to know If any one has tried submitting a concurrent request from Discoverer Report?_
This is no stupid question, but our team here finally decided with a solution to our long pending issues with few of the discoverer report. To Proceed further, we would like to know, how to submit a concurrent request from Discoverer report?
We are looking for calling a package from the Disco admin by passing the parameters from the disco to the 6i report.
All help us in this regards are much appreciated.
Kindly help us in the same!
Thanks
Arun

Thanks Rod for confirming the same.
I will be trying the same today and will let you know if I succeed in doing it.
If I can share the actual requirement with you, it goes like this.
"I will be triggering the Oracle 6i standard AP Trail balance report through the Disco report. The standard report will be inserting the required data to one of my custom table. Once the concurrent program completes normal, my custom table will be having the required data to create the workbook specific to the current run of the concurrent program.
The one problem which I think could happen is, How can I make my disco report to wait till the standard program to complete in normal so that my disco report can be generated with the data from custom table.
Will the above requirement is possible If I follow the way you mention in the PDF or Could you suggest a better way for achieving the same.
In short, my requirement is: The custom table(say XX_TABLE) will be populated with data when the standard 6i report is run and the disco admin will be making of the custom table (XX_TABLE) to generate the report.
Please advice.
Thanks
Arun

How to get the execution time of a Discoverer Report from qpp_stats table

Hello
by reading some threads on this forum I became aware of the information stored in eul5_qpp_stats table. I would like to know if I can use this table to determine the execution time of a worksheet. In particular it looks like the field qs_act_elap_time stores the actual elapsed time of each execution of specific worksheet: am I correct? If so, how is this value computed? What's the unit of measure? I assume it's seconds, but then I've seen that sometimes I get numbers with decimals.
For example I ran a worksheet and it took more than an hour to run, and the value I get in the qs_act_elap_time column is 2218.313.
Assuming the unit of measure was seconds than it would mean approx 37 mins. Is that the actual execution time of the query on the database? I guess the actual execution time on my Discoverer client was longer since some calculations were performed at the client level and not on the database.
I would really appreciate if you could shed some light on this topic.
Thanks and regards
Giovanni

Thanks a lot Rod for your prompt reply.
I agree with you about the accuracy of the data. Are you aware of any other way to track the execution times of Discoverer reports?
Thanks
Giovanni
