Hi Gurus,
I have a task to remove unused initialization blocks and subject areas from RPD.
how to find them ?how to check whether any reports are using these initialization blocks?
Please reply me. I need to complete this task.Pls help me

Unused Subject Areas -
Use Catalog Manger - Tools - Create a report to with report name and subject area. You will get what are being used.
Use RPD - Tools - Utilities export your RPD to CSV and check the Subject area.
Compare both and remove unwanted subject areas.
Initialization Blocks - We do not use these blocks directy but use Variables that are associated with it. Go to RPD - online - Mangesession - You will see the Variables tab in the window which give list of all variables thats get initialised with the session. --- Session Blocks
Use Report Tools - Query Repository for searching.
Try like this.

How to find unused logins?

Hi All,
We have one urgent requirment.How to find unused logins in SQL server 2008? Is there any script to remove unused logins?
Please help me to complete the task.
Thanks,
Siva G
SivaG:Please Marked as Answered, if it resolves your issue.

Hello Siva,
How do you define "unused logins", such who have never logged in or ...? Anyway, by default login activities are not logged by SQL Server, you have to implement a logging on your own. Even
LOGINPROPERTY (Transact-SQL) don't return such information.

How to find unused objects in SAP BI system?

Hello All,
I have got a requirement- you can say optimization programme in BW system.
For that i have to first find the list of unused obects-DSO's, IC, etc.
We have RSDODSO, RSDCUBE tables, but not sure how to use them- by looking at latest data loads/ time stamp.
If you have any suggestions on this .Please revert me back.

HI Kumar,
For cubes: Goto se11 and use table RSMDATASTATE and check the value of the field LAST_CHANGE this is the date on which last time data is loaded in cube.
Check RSMO & find which all data loads are happening daily...weekly...montly

How to find unused queries in BWD?

How to find unused queries in BWD?
Please let me know the process after finding unused queries to delete them,and what are the various possibilities we need check before deleting??

Hi Bharani,
You can use Transaction RSZDELETE for deletion of query objects with respect to many selections.
In that you have one selection as 'Last Used'. So you can deleted these queries which are very old and not used for long time.
In case if you want to see these queries you can check in the table RSZCOMPDIR using SE16 giving the technical name of the query and here also you can find the field called 'Last Used'.
Based on this you will be able to decide which query you can delete.
Reward points if helpful.
Kind Regards,
Raghu

Need help on how to find unused variables and intialization blocks in rpd

Hi ,
I have to remove used initialization blocks and variables.
Could suggest me the wayt to find the unused variables and intialization blocks.
Thnx

1.For the ones used in the RPD, you can right click on the presentation catalog and say Display related variable, init blocks etc.
2. The ones used in Presentation layer only could be identified when they get fired. refresh your dashboards and from the admin tool in online mode you can find which init blocks and variables are fired... eliminate by that way.
3. to know all the variables and init blocks present create the Metadata dictionary of the RPD and you will get a folder named Init blocks... identify and explore there....

How does one access custom function in OBIEE RPD for Session Init Block SQL

Hello:
We are using SSO for authentication and authorization for OBIEE, using Init Blocks in the RPD and httpHeader as the source of variables in the Instanceconfig.xml file. (As long as the user is member of one group, the results are fine. However, as soon as the user is assigned to multiple groups, group values become URI-encoded.)
To solve the problem of URI-encoding, we have deployed a function to the DB (ora 10gr2).
The problem I am running into is that when I call the function from an Init Block (Security), OBIEE Presentation Services (OPS) acts as though the function does not exist or is not called.
Initialization String: select group_OBIEE(WEBGROUPS) from dual
("group_OBIEE" is the function that was deployed.)
Testing: Successfully tested the function in PL/SQL as well as using the Test button in RPD.
Reason for the fuction: The function decodes the extra characters using a substr function. SSO uses Shibboleth for Authentication and Authorization.
For example, for our group name, we expect to obtain the following value:
edw:hrdir;edw:findir (2 groups separated by a semi-colon)
However, we are obtaining the following: (Determined via the narrative view in Answers: @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.GROUP']} )
URI-ENCODED<edw%3ahrdir%3bedw%3bfindir>
Please note: There are no such problems when we are passing only a single group value (i.e. edw:hrdir). So, in cases when we pass only for Group for the user, we are able to authenticate and authorize w/o a problem.
Any suggestion on how to call the function or a better way to approach this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You don't need a function to assign the groups in your Init Block. In fact you should not use it. You need to use a standard select and define the Init Block as Row-Wise. This means the BI Server knows the Init Block will return more than one row. You select statement should look like this:
SELECT 'GROUP', YOUR_GROUP_NAME FROM YOUR GROUP_USERS_TABLE WHERE YOUR_USER_ID_COLUMN = ':USER'

How to find the unused programs / transaction codes for the past three months,

Regards,

This depends on the data retention time (in days) maintained in your system. In ST03, on the right hand side, check "Collector" tab, under that "Performance Database" and then "Reorganization" which will give you the details retention times (in days).

How to find unused variable through sequence

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to find unused variable through sequence in order to suppress them ?
Thank you

Hi,
If you're fixed on that version of TestStand for a while (for whatever reason) and you see this situation coming up again, you could always build a small tool to automate the process.
From the current sequence file's handle, you could traverse all the locals and file globals to make a list of all variables and then search the sequences step by step to see if they're in use.
What this won't tell you is if any code modules or custom step types are directly accessing those variables through the sequencecontext handle so removing them can cause issues.
A secondary approach is to cut all the locals (or whatever the variable scope is) in to a new sequence file (or work with a backup version of your sequence file) and delete them from the existing file and see what errors get thrown up.
Finally, as Doug suggests, to get a latest copy of TestStand on to another machine, you could download a trial version and work with that if it's a one off. After all - if you find the sequence analyser feature that useful, it's a great reason to consider your upgrade policy / timing in the future anyway!
Thanks

Hello,
as suggested by padders you can use PL/Scope, an example:
ALTER SESSION SET PLSCOPE_SETTINGS='IDENTIFIERS:ALL';
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE ui_test1 AS
    global_number   NUMBER := 9;
FUNCTION get_number
    RETURN NUMBER;
END ui_test1;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY ui_test1 AS
PROCEDURE setNull
     p_varchar          IN OUT VARCHAR2
IS
BEGIN
    p_varchar := NVL(p_varchar,'NULL');
END setNull;
FUNCTION get_number
    RETURN NUMBER
IS
    FUNCTION setZero
         p_number       IN NUMBER
        RETURN NUMBER
    IS
    BEGIN
        RETURN NVL(p_number,0);
    END setZero;
BEGIN
    RETURN global_number;
END get_number;
END ui_test1;
SELECT DISTINCT
        object_name
       ,object_type
       ,name
       ,type
       ,line
       ,col
FROM    all_identifiers obj
WHERE   obj.owner = USER
AND     obj.usage = 'DECLARATION'
AND     obj.object_name = 'UI_TEST1'
AND     NOT EXISTS (
            SELECT 1
            FROM    all_identifiers with_rh
            WHERE   obj.signature = with_rh.signature
            AND     with_rh.usage IN ('REFERENCE','CALL','ASSIGNMENT')
ORDER BY TYPE
        ,object_name
        ,object_type
        ,name;
OBJECT_NAME OBJECT_TYPE   NAME       TYPE       LINE COL

How to find out Maximum date value in RPD.

Hi All,
I have a date column i want to get the maximum date value from that column. I am trying this expression MAX( "sales"."book"."date") in new logical column i am getting the RPD inconsistence error. Database is SQL server 2005. Is there any problem in my syntax?
Thanks in advance.

Is that column date part of time dimension?
What does error say? syntax should be ok - maybe something to do with your DB settings in physical layer.
can you try to create the same column in Answers? (select fx button of the column and then add MAX ( ) around the column.
