How to Personalize prompts in OBIEE 10g

Hi,
I have a requirement that if a user "A" log in, and access dashboard he should be able to see a prompt with default values based on his preference. For example user "A" wants to see a report based on a prompt with two columns "District" and "Year" with a default value of "East" as District and "2007" as Year
When user "B" log in, he should be able to see a prompt with a default value of "West" as District and "2009" as Year
Can you please tell me how to implement this.
Thanks

Hi,
One way to acheive this requirement, is to maintain an external table with the username and two other columns one having the value for district and other for the year. Make sure the data type of the prompt column and data type of the year and district column in the external table are the same. When you create the prompt, under default value, select sql results and use the following sql.
select year from externaltable where upper(username)=upper(':USER');
repeat the same for district prompt.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
-Amith.

How to realize this reqirement in the dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10G?

Hi,
I have a new query about dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10g..
All below is needed to Operator in the dashboard prompt.
We have 4 columns, 4 columns using multi-select type need to constrain together and need to show value which is related with product..
e.g.
Now I display "REGION" column using multi-select in Control, and I need to show data which product name is not null. After I add "where product name is not null" in the SQL results in Show, then I cannot use the Constrain box.. and I cannot set any variable if I using multi-select type..
So anybody have any idea about this?
Your reply will be highly appreciate..
Regards,
Anne

Hi Anne
User Input type as " Multi select prompt" keep it with constrain option then apply below query
apply like this kind of SQL query in Default selection --->SQL result section
SELECT "MX_PORTFOLIO_STATIC"."MT_BU_Level1" FROM "Position" where "MX_PORTFOLIO_STATIC"."MT_BU_Level1" is not null

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

How to enable logging in OBIEE 10G

I have LDAP authentication in OBIEE 10 G and users are only residing in LDAP.
I have a requirement to enable logging for few users. Can suggest me what all steps are required. I created user in RPD and enabled logging for that user. Kept same user ID as in LDAP. Still i cant see the logs.

oh.. its 10g.. okay.
In this case NQS authentication will override the LDAP authentication. Do not go for rpd users this can be taken care using init blocks as below.
When using LDAP we can set the loglevel using Init blocks(see below). this can be set runtime using Set varaible from Answers->Advanced tab.
You Init block suppose to be like
case when :user in ('a','b') then 2 ELSE 0 END
set to LOGLEVEL variable

How to calculate Median In OBIEE 10g

hi
I am trying to calculate median in OBIEE 10 g .
The problem is that if suppose we Since the column measures are already having aggregates by default set in RPD. hence if we apply median to any measure column, then if we try to group by the report by Year or Quarter then the results are varying with undesired results . in my case i didnt wanted to apply the median function on a measure , so i created a column calculating the total number of rows in the column BRANDS , then i Applied the median function to it. like ----MEDIAN(COUNT("D4 Product"."P04 Brand") BY "D0 Time"."T03 Per Name Qtr")------. heres the scenario that i want to implement.
Qtr Sales Median
1 10
2 20
3 15
etc...
to be precise .. how to apply median function most appropriately over any measure or column count . and wht do i need to take care of ???
please help ..
thanks in advance

Dynamic Change Of Column Name based On The Dashboard Prompt in OBIEE 10g

Hi All,
I have a dashbord prompt called "calendar date". And, my report having some columns called "Product Name", "Code", "Yest Balance", "Today Balance". Now, while displaying the report in the dashboard, instead of "Today's Balance" they want to see the date which we have selected in the promt as a column name (each time we select a date in the promt, that would appear as a field name in stead of "Today's Balance" but values will be same (should show the balance for that date).
Please advice.
Thanks,
BK.

yeah...you are correct....these are workaround ...no out of box solution.
Take the MAR11 target example in this current month is MAR 11 is populated by a session variable which gives you always current month.
Second using union -combined query creating a header from one report and results from other report.
But, coming to your req.......what ever the value selected in the calendar date that should come up in the column heading. so this is not possible with variable because for date of calendar image type you can not set a presentation variable. If not you can use a REQUEST VARIABLE.
You can try 2nd way creating 2 reports one for header other for value.
You can choose based on your flexibility. Instead you are showing the report along with prompt. I would suggest use appropriate name as 'selected date value'.

Bubble chart in OBIEE 10g

Is there any way to increase the bubble size of bubble chart in obiee 10g? Like whether we can use javascript or HTML Code to achieve it?

Hi,
Thanks for reply.
But I cannot understand your point. My requirement is something different. In the X axis I have project_number and y axis I have measures like budget,commitment & incurred_cost. Now the vertical chart gives me the summarize view. Now for a particualr project say AA, I can see three vertical bars showing budget,commitment & incurred_cost. Now the requirement is if I click on budget bar it will popup a new window showing related details of budget which is a different report, if click on commitment bar it will open commitment report in another window and so on.
I am not able to implement this like multiple navigation from a bar chart.
Can you please help on how to do this in OBIEE 10g.
Thanks

Cascade dashboard prompts in OBIEE 10.1.3.4

Hi,
Is there any concept of Cascade dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
I have a requirement as described below -
Start date and End date dashboard prompts. (Calendar) - Results of Start Date and End Date selected are captured in the Presentation Variables Startdt, Enddt respectively.
Promotions dashboard prompt (multi select) - This Prompt should show the results from the SQL Query -
SELECT "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."National Promotion" FROM "SPDM" where "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."NP Status"='Active' and "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."NP Region"='Canada' and "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."NP Type"='National' and "- Calendar".Date BETWEEN DATE '@{Startdt}{06/28/2010}' AND DATE '@{Enddt}{12/31/2010}'
But the results are not populating in the Promotions Prompt. Can anyone help me in fixing this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
This is a known OBIEE bug.
Please refer http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/presentation_variable_initialization
With a Multi Select dashboard prompt
You cannot set a Presentation Variable in a Multi Select dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10g. This is expected behavior. OBIEE 10g is working as designed. A Presentation variable can assume a single value. Because of that, presentation variables are not available when using multi select prompts. OBIEE 11g will introduce the ability to set Presentation Variables when using multi select prompts. In 10g you can try as a workaround using more than 1 prompt.
I don't more work arounds than listed here:
http://obiee-blog.info/answers/multiselect-prompt-presentation-variable/
But, these work arounds might not suffice your issue.
Please let me know if you come up with a better solution.
Good Luck.

Switch Section in a dashboard based on the selection of Prompts (OBIEE 10G)

Hi All,
I have a requirement : I have to switch Section in a dashboard based on the selection of Prompts (OBIEE 10G).
Lets say I have 1 report in section1 and another report in section2 of a dashboard. I have a dashboard prompt,now say when the user does not select any value in a prompt I have to show section1 and when he selects values in a prompt then I have to show section2 of the dashboard. I tries this using Guided Navigation Link and presentation variable but there is a limitation that I have to select only one value in the prompt as i have created presentation variable.
But the client wants the prompt as Multi Select. in this case I can 't use the presentation variable.
How can I fulfil this requirement.Please let me know.
Thanks,
Krishna

How you create your multiselect prompt? Is it based on a column? Using multiselect prompt you'll get an issue in this case. The prompt behavior with choosing all values and choosing nothing is equivalent. But your requirement has different behavior lines.

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.

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...

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
