How to create business charts in Forms 10g?

In the old days, before and in 8i, we can still create business charts using Graphics Builder with the following graph types. How can we build business charts in forms 10g?
Column: Shows discrete values using vertical columns
Bar: Shows discrete values using horizontal bars
Gantt: Shows task or project scheduling information using horizontal bars
High-Low: Shows multiple Y-axis values for each X-axis point
Line: Shows data values as points connected by lines to show trends
Mixed: Combines a column and line chart
Pie: Shows how individual data values contribute to an overall total
Scatter: Plots 2 sets of potentially related data to identify possible trends
Table: Shows text data in a table
Double-Y: Shows a column or line chart with multiple values for the same X-axis value

On the samples page on OTN there is a piece on how to use BI beans to achieve business charts. Search for "BI bean Graphs in Forms".

Hi Everyone
I have got a requirement where client is asking to combine two report to one

First of all, proof read your post. Generally, grammatical and punctuation errors can be deciphered, but where words are critical to presenting your issue clearly, you must type those sentences correctly. Otherwise, it can be confusing and turn off someone who may want to help.
"...which can be shown without and filters and want data for current year." What does this mean?
"...And weeks columns have to update its week no based on that week." What does this mean?
In an attempt to answer you question, do this:
1) Base your query filters on the "current running year." This will satisfy the requirements for displaying data from the first report.
2) Now add 4 "sales" columns (i.e., same column, but 4 instances of it). In each of these columns, click on the fx button, click on Filters, go to your Time dimension and select the appropriate week, and then click "OK." Now, each of these columns will hold the measure value for the particular week while the "sales" column will have the "running total" for the whole time period.
Once you get the above to work, you can work on automating this by substituting a function in place of the hard-coded week number values.

Analysis across multiple cubes - OBIEE 10g/11g

Hi,
Does OBIEE supports analysis across multiple cubes ? or it is inherent to OBIEE ?
Regards,
Junaid

You can use union reports
For example
req 2) Product_Group column formula fx "Budgeted'
Budget column formula fx Filter (budget using product_group in ('alpha','beta')
req 3) Product_Group column formula fx "Not Budgeted'
Budget column formula fx Filter (budget using product_group not in ('alpha','beta')

We have a prompts which consists of Dimension and fact. In prompts i have Fiscal year prompt from the Time dimension. When i put as a drop down it is showing all the values which are present in Time Dimension. My requirement is to have only the Fiscal year information which has the data in the fact table.
For example: If my fact table if i have data from 2010 - till 2012 it should show me the values in that prompt feild 2010, 2011 and 2012. But it showing data from 2008 till 2020, which our Time dimension having the data.

Please help me its bit urgent.
Thanks in advance.
Ali

Hi Ali,
Can you write a Sql using the following thing:
Select Year_num from TimeDimension where Year_num In (2010,2011,2012)
Try above else... Select timedimension.year from time dimension where timedim.year in ( facttable.year_num)
step1: Select year from time dimension.
step2: column: year from time dimen , operator : is equal/is in , control: drop down, show: change her to sql results (Add where year in
(2010,2011,2012 ) , default: report defaults.
Above displayes 2010,2011,2012 as year options.
--- preview it should work

Cascaded Prompts in OBIEE 10g

Hello friends,
Can some help me to understand how to implement cascaded prompts in OBIEE 10g? My situation is:
I have three Prompts P1,P2 and P3
P1: Values are comming from a table
P2: Shows the value from a Stored Procedure, such that one stored procedure takes input parameter from P1
P3: Shows the value from a stored procedure , such that one stored procedure takes input parameter from P2
After selecting value from P3 , I will run the report. So here P2 is based on P1 , P3 is based on P2, ie cascaded.
I have tried this by checking the box Constrain for P2 and P3 (red some where that if we make a prompt with checked the Constrain box then its value depends on the previous prompt)
But for me this is not working even if check the Constrain box.
Can I some one help me to do this.
Thanks,
Mithun

Hi Krish,
Value of P1 Im passing to a stored procedure (say SP1) to populate P2, same way values in the P2 (which is the result from SP1) I'm passing to SP2 which in turn gives the values in P3.
I'm using the SP1 and SP2 in the Physical layer as
EXEC SP_NAME @parameter1 = 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ID)'
Here ID is the session variable I have created.
And in the Dashboard, I have created the prompt P1 (on a field which is from a table), then the value is passed to the variable ID by choosing the 'Request Variable' option in the Set Variable drop down.
Same way I did for other SP by passing the value from P2..
Here for P2 and P3 I have checked the box for constrain so that value of P2 is depended on P1 and value of P3 is depended on P2.
But my problem is this method of cascading is not working.. that is P2 value is not changing based on the value I'm selecting in P1 ans same way for P3...
Hope my issue is clear to you..
Thanks,
Mithun

Requirement to upgrade OBIEE 10g on Windows to OBIEE 11g on Linux

Dear All,
I have a requirement to upgrade OBIEE 10g from current windows 2003 environment to OBIEE 11g Linux environment.
I went through forums and many threads on upgrade, everywhere they talk about Upgrade Assistant (UA). And oracle documentation says ,
+"Do not change from one platform or architecture to a different platform or architecture as part of the upgrade process.+
+For example, if the existing 10g system is running on a Windows 32-bit platform, do not install Oracle BI 11g on a Linux 64-bit platform and then run the Linux 64-bit Upgrade Assistant to upgrade the existing 10g system."+
But there would certainly be scenarios with other users the way I have. Then what is the way out to do this upgrade?
Can anyone give some advice on this. It is little urgent.
Thanking in advance.
Regards,
Deepika.

Thats are huge change in platform. win32 to linux 64.
Yet what we upgrade is only
catalog and rpd.
this might involve some manual change if UA cannot complete successfully.
Its better to do a prototype before the actual upgrade as recommended by Oracle. This will show what can the possible issues and road blocks.

OBIEE 10g repository - Business model - logical table to physical table, column mapping is empty

Hi, I am really new to OBIEE 10g.
I already set up a SQL Server 2005 database in Physical and import a view vw_Dim_retail_branch.
The view has 3 columns: branch_id, branch_code, branch_desc.
Now I want to set up the Business model to map this physical table (view).
I created a new Business model
Added new logical table Dim_retail_branch
In the sources, added the vw_Dim_retail_branch as source table.
But in the Logical table source window, column mapping tab, it's blank. I thought it should be able to identify all the columns from vw_Dim_retail_branch, but not. The show mapped columns is ticked.
What should I do here? Manually type each column?

HI,
Just you can drag and drop the columns from physical layer to BMM layer.
Select the 3 columns and drag and drop it to the created logical column in BMM layer.

How to explain the business requirement of a file to rfc scenario

Hello Experts,
 How do i explain the business requirement of
 1. FILE TO IDOC.
 2. FILE TO RFC.
 3. FILE TO JDBC scenarios?
 Cud anybody explain me how to explain the requirement of these scenarios in an interview?Cud u pls send me the example for these and the systems involved and the documents involved...helpful answers will be rewarded...
 cheers
 Jay.
my mail : [email protected]

1. FILE TO IDOC.
When u have ur master data stored in a file thru a legacy system say in some xml format then u may need to have this scenario configured.
2. FILE TO RFC.
Consider pt1 but here for example consider delete scenario. when u have deleted the mater/transaction u may need to update another file...so in this case u will need to config this scenario...y we cannot use idoc is becoz sync scneario is not possible with idoc but yes with rfc
3. FILE TO JDBC scenarios?
u have some business data extracted from a file and before u update a r3 transaction u may need to refer a datbase table to read some data baed on keyfield...so u will take a jdbc response and based on that u may validate with the data for r3 updation.
the scenario keeps varying in real life and the above are very few examples of the kind of scenario that would exists in the business world

Obiee 10g - How to Increase the default size of Bubble chart radius axis

Hi,
I have an requirement of creating bubble chart in obiee 10g.
When i was developing the bubble chart i noticed that there is no option of increasing the size of the bubble.
When the measure value is low the bubble is not getting displayed.
Kindly help me with any solution.
Regards,
Abdul

Hi Alok_Aswal,
In SQL Server Reporting Services 2008, the Bubble chart has several custom attributes which allow us to control the size of the bubbles. "BubbleMaxSize" and "BubbleMinSize" attributes allow us to define the size of the bubble in the chart series. The values
set are in percent of the whole chart size. We can find those attributes in the property pane by selecting bubble series and expanding 'CustomAttributes' properties.
And based on my research, the Marker size has a wide range, but for some reason once we get to around 8 the bubble in the legend will not grow any bigger. So in your scenario, we can set the Marker size to 8pt, then set the appropriate “BubbleMaxSize" and
"BubbleMinSize" based on the chart size to make the size of both the bubble are the same. For example, we can also set “BubbleMaxSize" and "BubbleMinSize" to 8, then manually adjust the chart size until both the bubbles have same size.
Beside, we can delete the original legend, and drag a tablix to the right of the chart. And then insert the corresponding data and color to tablix to let it looks like a legend. For more details information, you can refer to the link below to see Mike’s

Connecting SQL Analysis Services 2005 cube with obiee 10g

Hello experts,
I'm trying to link an SQL Analysis Services 2005 cube with obiee 10g.
In Oracle BI Administration, when I choose File -> Import -> From
Multi-dimensional, I have to fill the next gaps:
Provider Type: Analysis Services 2005
URL: ***********
User: blank
Password: blank
Before to do that, I need to create the URL path.
To create the URL, I have followed this link.
http://erpthings.blogspot.com/2008/08/obiee-connection-to-msas-2005-
cube.html
But, it hasn't worked because when I was trying to configure the HTTP
access to SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services, we have to perform a test to ensure that it has been well configured. In IIS -> WebSites -> Default WebSites -> olap, we should browse the document called "msmdpump.dll" and this should show an xml document, but it doesn't.
Thanks!

Hi Alex
It sounds like your MS data pump might not be configured correctly. First ensure that is working before trying to put the values into OBIEE. Don't worry about the 500 error - I get that too instead of an XML page.
You can read a bit more about SSAS support on my blog here:

OBIEE 10g How ADD new report and use outer join

Hi,
I have to add a new report that use a new view...(just created in db)
I'm new in OBIEE.. can you explain how can i do it?
Actually:
1. I opened administrator tool and import new view (and created an alias) in physical
2. I built a logical table in BMM
3. I built a new presentation table in presentation
problem: the table in BMM have yellow icon like a fact table.. why??
can you explain me what i have to do?
thank you
Edited by: 1006028 on 15-mag-2013 2.54

By default OBIEE 10g considers a table as fact table that is dragged from physical to BMM layer. That's why you see the yellow color icon.
If it is a dimension table, you will have to join this table with a fact table in BMM layer. After this the yellow color icon will go away.
Pls mark correct/helpful.

How to migrating from Business Objects to OBIEE

Hi,
I have one query is it possible migrating from Business objects to OBIEE ? if, yes could you tell me any one regarding this requirement.

How to migrate files from "ORACLE EPM 11" to OBIEE 10g / 11g

Hi
We are moving from ORACLE EPM 11 to OBIEE 10g or 11g .
Can anyone suggest me how to migrate the files from ORACLE EPM11 to OBIEE 10g ?
Regards
Vinod.

It would be a good idea to specify the version you are using.
The general plan can be the following:
A. On source db:
1. Generate scripts for the tablespaces where the schema you want to export has segments (again use toad or ther tools)
2.Generate scripts for the schema you want to export (use toad, dbms_metadata or other tools)
3. Generate scripts for system grants, system roles, privileges you have on objects owned by sys, system, quotas on tablespaces
4. If the schema has grants on sys objects that are not part of the default oracle install but were created later and are specific to that particular db (not a good practice, but it can hapen) and your application is dependent on them, generate scripts for them also (I have come across types owned by sys, when migrating an application with Websphere AS)
5. export schema using exp owner=<SCHEMA_NAME>
6. generate scripts for public synonyms and grants to public on object schema
B. On target db.
1. create tablespaces with generated scripts from A.1.
2. create schema with generated scripts from A.2.
3. grant all privileges from A.3.
4. if non default objects on sys needed, create them with scripts from A.4., grant privileges on these objects
5. imp with option fromuser=<SCHEMA_NAME> touser=<SCHEMA_NAME>
6. create public synonyms, grants from A.6.
7. check jobs - if you import with sys or system user, jobs will be imported under this users; drop jobs nad recreate jobs under your schema
I hope I haven't forget anything and this helps...
