How to import tables to the physical layer of the Administration Tool.

Friends could help me with this issue. I'm just starting in OBIEE
How to connect a ORACLE database 11g R2 installed on Linux with OBIEE administration tool that I have installed Windows Server 2003 to create a subject area.
Basically I want to import the tables from the database on Linux to the physical layer of the administration tool that is installed on Windows Server 2003.
I can tell how to make this connection step by step.
Beforehand thanks for the support.

  • No row count in the Physical layer of the Administration Tool

    Hi,
    While creating physical layer, I imported tables and set connection pool.
    After this, to verify connectivity, clicked Tools > Update All Row Counts.
    Now according to Oracle online guide,
    "when update all row counts completes, verify that the row counts are displayed in the Physical layer of the Administration Tool"
    I do not see the row counts in the Physical layer of the Administration Tool. No error message gets displayed either.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    I am new to OBIEE.
    Thanks in Advance & Regards,

    Hi Hammett81 ,
    I think, I have given configured connection pool correct. (following Oracle guidelines: 'In the Connection Pool dialog box, on the General tab, verify that the call interface is set to Default (OCI 10g) and change the data source name to the appropriate tnsnames.ora entry ( ORCL in this example). Please note that this is the TNS service name, not the ODBC DSN. ' )
    I tried to give ODBC DSN (SH) as call interface, which resulted in an Error dialogue, implying, previous configuration was correct.
    So, I reverted back.

  • Creating views in Physical Layer of OBIEE Administration Tool

    Hello,
    I am doing a proof of concept of creating an OBIEE repository using the Administration Tool to make a model for an in house sandbox OLTP system. Because this POC isn't using a warehouse that is built nicely with everything I need, I am having to import the OLTP tables into the Physical Layer and then create a few extra views (by creating a new physical table object and selecting "Table Type: Select") to add some new columns I will need.
    My problem is that once I have created two views 'ViewA' and 'ViewB', I want to then create a third view 'ViewC' that is the union of 'ViewA' and 'ViewB'. But when I create ViewC from these two views and try to then update row count or view data in newly created ViewC, I get an error message of the effect:
    Message 208: Invalid object name 'DBO.ViewA'
    Message 208: Invalid object name 'DBO.ViewB'
    When I try and create ViewC with DBO.OriginalTableA and DBO.OriginalTableB, however, it works just fine. And I am also able to successfully update row count and view data in ViewA and ViewB independently. So it seems to me like a view initialization problem when trying to have ViewC be created from A and B.
    Am I trying to do something that is not allowed in the Physical Layer of the BI Admin Tool? I would think that I should be able to work with views just like actual physical tables from my OLTP. Maybe not.
    Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

  • How to see the tables which are in the physical layer of SampleAppLite rpd

    Hi Everyone,
    I am new to OBIEE and I installed OBI Apps with Oracle 11g in my laptop. I tried to create reports using the OracleBIAnalyticsApps rpd. How can I know from which schema the tables are coming in the physical layer of the repository so that I can create a connection pool to the database. I got the default SampleAppLite rpd when I install the OBIEE but I am unable to see those tables in the database schema which are used in the SampleAppLite physical layer. Can anyone tell me how can I see the tables in the database which I see in the rpd. Actually my question may be wrong as I am new to this field, so please let me know if this is a wrong question. As I unable to express my question correctly. Thanks.

    For the OracleBIAnalyticsApps rpd - the tables are under "Catalog" then "dbo" in database "Oracle Data Warehouse" in the physical layer. The RPD comes out of the box with the required connection pools - you dont need to create any. The connection pools "Oracle Data Warehouse Repository Initblocks Connection Pool" and "Oracle Data Warehouse Connection Pool" in "Oracle Data Warehouse" read the data from the business analytics warehouse that you created in a schema name of your choosing with the DAC. All you need to do is edit the user name and password and the data source name with a connect string - which is the local net service name to your database for default call interface OCI 10g/11g assuming you used an Oracle database for your warehouse. One way to test the connection pool is to right click any table/alias then "Update Row Count".
    BTW Using the Admin Tool open the OracleBIAnalyticsApps rpd then do "Tools" then "Utilities" then "Repository Documentation" then "Execute". This will create a spreadsheet showing you all the mappings from the presentation to business to physical layers.

  • Duplicate table  and  Alias table in the physical layer

    Hi,
    I want a clear information regarding the duplicate tables in the physical layer of the rpd.
    I mean what is the purpose of the duplicate tables in the physical layer.........
    thanks,
    chinna.

    what do you mean by duplicate of physical table? is it Alias table?
    if then,
    -> aliases are created to break the circular joins (which are not supported by obiee)
    -> and, as per apps standards no operation can be done on base tables which are imported directly to physical layer. Only aliases are joined and will be used in BMM layer
    -> useful to re-use the table more than one time , best example: W_DAY_D in apps rpd

  • Combining multiple databases into one in the physical layer

    I have several databases in the physical layer that I would like to combine into one database. How can I do this safely without interfering with the existing physical joins in the physical layer and the column mappings in the BMM layer ?
    Can you recommend the best procedures to follow in order to get this accomplished?
    Boniface Ntawutarama

    hi Boniface,
    I think so No,you cant combine all databases into single one.Actually why you want to do this?
    According to the requirement you select a database and concerned tables to build the repository,same way with other databases also you build RPD and establish joins in physical layer
    Lets wait for any more specific answers on this from experts.

  • Joins in the physical layer

    Hi,
    I have a small doubt:
    Is it possible to to give the Outer joins in the physical layer+ of the RPD.i.e.,left outer join,right outer join and full outer join.
    If yes can you pls provide me any links related to that.
    Thanks,
    Chinna

    Hi,
    No we cannot have outer joins in Physicla layer.
    We can outer joins in BMM layer.
    In BMM layer - complex join can be full inner join or full outer join or whatever your criteria was,but in physical layer - physical join is always an inner join.

  • How can i import tables from a different schema into the existing relational model... to add these tables in the existing model? plss help

    how can i import tables from a different schema into the existing relational model... to add these tables in the existing relational/logical model? plss help
    note; I already have the relational/logical model ready from one schema... and I need to add few more tables to this relational/logical model
    can I import the same way as I did previously??
    but even if I do the same how can I add it in the model?? as the logical model has already been engineered..
    please help ...
    thanks

    Hi,
    Before you start, you should probably take a backup copy of your design (the .dmd file and associated folder), in case the update does not work out as you had hoped.
    You need to use Import > Data Dictionary again, to start the Data Dictionary Import Wizard.
    In step 1 use a suitable database connection that can access the relevant table definitions.
    In step 2 select the schema (or schemas) to import.  The "Import to" field in the lower left part of the main panel allows you to select which existing Relational Model to import into (or to specify that a new Relational Model is to be created).
    In step 3 select the tables to import.  (Note that if there are an Foreign Key constraints between the new tables and any tables you had previously imported, you should also include the previous tables, otherwise the Foreign Key constraints will not be imported.)
    After the import itself has completed, the "Compare Models" dialog is displayed.  This shows the differences between the model being imported and the previous state of the model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
    Just selecting the Merge button should apply all the additions and changes in the new import.
    Having updated your Relational Model, you can then update your Logical Model.  To do this you repeat the "Engineer to Logical Model".  This displays the "Engineer to Logical Model" dialog, which shows the changes which will be applied to the Logical Model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
    Just selecting the Engineer button should apply all the additions and changes.
    I hope this helps you achieve what you want.

  • Issue while writing a query in table type select.in the physical layer

    Hi gurus,
    I am actually trying to create a table using select in the physical layer..... i acutally am not aware what it is called but its when i click a table in the physical layer i have an option table type and i chose select which allows me type my query..the query is
    Select
    coln name(which is a lengthly list of conversion) AS column_name
    From Table name.
    when i view the data rom the physical layer everthing seems to be fine. but when i try to view the data in the frnt end it gives me an error maximum length is too long than 128....
    i am aware of this issue the sql server allows only column of length 128..but none of my column length is greater than 128..
    Could you please help me in this
    Many thanks in advance

    hi veeravalli ,
    Thanks for the reply....actually the corresponding reports for this have already been prepared...i created a view in the backend with the same select which i wrote before and and tried calling the view from her.. i have viewed the data and all is perfect...but when i try viewing it from the front end it error saying invaild object name select * from databasename.dbo.View_name...but i have checked the view exists in the backend...

  • Refreshing the Physical Layer ( New Columns)?

    Hi,
    I am new to OBIEE. (11.1.1.5)
    I have a physical layer defined and now I have added some additional columns to these tables in the database.
    Now, How to get these new columns reflected in the Physical layer.
    I tried the Tools -> Utilities -> Update Physical Layer.
    But it only checks for the data types of the existing columns already in the Physical layer.
    Please help.
    Edited by: 937825 on Jul 16, 2012 6:46 PM

    Use File->Import Metadata option
    The tables and column which are in RPD are grayed out and which are not available are in black.
    Pls mark correct or helpful if helps

  • Creating filtered view on the physical layer ussing session variable USER

    Hi:
    I´m creating a view on the physical layer, the view needs to be created dynamically. So depending on the user (using the session variable USER) the view is created with the data a particular user is able to see.
    Fisrt I imported the table and changed it´s properties to be created through a "Select Statement" so i don´t needed to change the mapping on the bussiness model layer.
    The consistency check was OK but i´m not able to see data in answers, even using the Administrator user. Have anyone tried to do this? Here is my query.
    Thanks
    A Garcia
    Select * from D_ESTRUCTURA_RH2 where Region_ID
    IN

    inner join (
    select distinct b.REGION_ID from APP_INDPERSONAL_DM.D_ESTRUCTURA_RH2 b
    where exists (select 1 from APP_INDPERSONAL_DM.Autorizacion a, usuarios c
    where a.app_id = 1
    and a.usuario_id = c.Usuario_Id
    and UPPER(c.Nombre_Usuario)=UPPER(':USER')
    and a.miembro_id = 'REGION_ID'
    and a.operador = '='
    and (b.REGION_ID = (case when valor = 'Todo' then 0 else valor end) or valor='Todo'))
    ) seguridad
    on
    a. REGION_ID = seguridad.REGION_ID
    )

    whay not use the same filter in the content tab of the logical table source?
    check the physical sql sent to databse using web-admin-manage sessions-view log and see if there is any unexpected behavior. also run the same query in db and see iff you get the results in databse itself.

  • Can't see the update to the DB mapped in physical layer of the Admin tool

    Hello everybody!
    I have an Access DB that i'm using to create a temporary data model for OBIEE.
    When i update rows (add or erase rows in the tables) i can see them in the physical layer; instead if i add o remove table i don't see any variation on the Physical layer.
    I restarted the OBIserver services and checked the ODBC that point to the access. Everything's ok!
    Should i remapped the DB everytime i make the a varition in the number of the table in the DATABASE?
    Can you give some help please!
    Regards.

    1.If you drop or create new tables, you would not see them in the physical layer.
    2. The RPD is just metadata and not database.
    3.BI server has nothing to do with the physical layer modeling
    4. yes you need to remap (in physical) the new tables you create and the ones you drop.

  • How to import tables, indexes, tablespace, etc from a DMP.

    Hello,
    I like to know how to import tables, indexes, tablespace, etc from an DMP export of a Oracle 10.2.0.1 to be apply on a Oracle 11.2.0. When I import the DMP file all the data is going to one single Tablespace, for example, Users tablespace.
    On the original database we have various tablespace's each separated with different content (tables, indexes) and I like to know if it posible to import the same schema,tables, indexes, tablespace all made with one single DMP Export. I can't use DBUA because the software of the database on the 10.2 is missing, I have only a DMP file (24GB) of DMP!.
    Thanks for the reply,
    Sorry for my english :).
    Regards.

    thanks for that but is not what Im looking for.
    Look, on my ORCL directory of the oracle 10.2 I have for example this:
    CONTROL01.CTL
    EXAMPLE01.DBF
    REDO01-1.LOG
    REDO01.LOG
    REDO02-2.LOG
    REDO02.LOG
    REDO03-3.LOG
    REDO03.LOG
    RMAN.DBF
    SYSAUX01.DBF
    SYSTEM01.DBF
    TEMP01.DBF
    UNDOTBS01.DBF
    USERS01.DBF
    TABLESPACE1.ORA
    TABLESPACE2.ORA
    TABLESPACE3.ORA
    TABLESPACE4.ORA
    TABLESPACE5.ORA
    I make a full export to a DMP. Then in my 11.2 version first I created the user then when import the DMP file none of the tablespace (TABLESPACE1, TABLESPACE2, ETC...) is created, all is going to the USERS tablespace, SO, im looking a way to tell imp command that generates the exactly tablespace structure that i was have on the 10.2.
    Hope this can explain more my problem.
    Thanks again!.

  • Defining Keys/Joins in the physical layer

    When the keys and the join conditions are defined manually using a table's Properties dialog box in the Physical layer, do these keys or joins also get defined in the database automatically? My understanding is that it does not get created in the database. So what I am trying to understand is - once the joins are defined in the RPD physical layer, do I have to then define the indexes/constraints in the database as well?
    Thanks,

    Not required. Indexes can be created in DB on joining col for performance purpose only.
    Hope this helps
