Integrating Essbase cubes with Oracle Tables in BI Server

I'm trying to link together data from an aggregated Essbase Cube with some static table data from our oracle system. Both the essbase and oracle data exist correctly in their own right in the physical, business and presentation levels. Aggragted data is client sales, static data is client details
Within the OBIEE Administration tool I've tried to drag the physical oracle table for clients onto the clients essbase section in the business area, and it seems to work OK, until you try and report on them together and I get the following error:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 42043] An external aggregate is found in an outer query block. (HY000)
Can anyone advise on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Thanks Christian I found some very useful articles (one or two by you) - I'll have to look harder on the net before posting.
One thing I found out, with respect to vertical federation, that others may benefit from, is that I fuond it much easier to start from the most detailed level and then attach the less detailed source rather start with the less detailed and add the additional on.

  • Problem with Integration Essbase cube with obiee

    Hi Everyone,
    I am in a OBIEE where i need to use Essbase cubes as source for generating OBIEE reports.I am able to import the cube successfuly into Physical layer and when i drag it into BMM layer its getting splitted up into Facts,dimensions and hierachies. No measure in fact table of cube in BMM layer. What i got to know was all the meaures what all needed for reporting are into one hierachy and when i get it into BMM layer its getting converted into Dimension. Here i tried to generate reports by making dimension as fact but no use.
    Please suggest me ,any other ways to get it.
    Regards

  • Issue in integrating Essbase cubes with OBIEE

    Hi
    I am trying to use Essbase cubes as datasource in OBIEE for generating reports,but the issue is in generating , No columns in fact table of cube in BMM layer.
    Outline of cube is
    Revel(cube)
    (Hierachies)
    Time Time <5> (Label Only)
    Item <54> (Label Only) (Two Pass)
    DepInst <20> (Label Only)
    SFA_Flag <2>
    Deduction_Flag <2>
    Rating_Category <6>
    PD_Band <9>
    Product <17>
    Entity <4>
    CR_Agency <5>
    I am confused how to generate reports without measures in fact table.
    Regards
    Sandeep

    Hi Sandeep,
    in that case it's as I thought:
    Or did you just not specify any measure hierarchy?You tried this...
    In BMM layer i made this dimension as fact and tried to create reports but not use....which isn't the way. First of all your cube seems to be built quite bizarre since it doesn't even provide a default measure hierarchy so I'd have your Essbase guys check that.
    As for the OBIEE side: the key is the physical layer. BMM's already too late. In the physical cube object, you must define one of the hierarchies as the measure hierarchy (since your cube doesn't seem to provide it; see above):

    Can you please help me out in identifying the issue, as why it could have occured , because of network problem or is there anything related to databse?

    The error is related to Oracle, I would check that it is all up and running

  • Best Practice of Essbase Cube Join Relational Table

    Hi,
    As the topic mentioned, what's the best practice of Essbase cube join relational table?
    Please notice that I want description columns, not measure columns, from relational table.
    Thanks.

    As a starting point, check out what Ed wrote together a while ago:

  • Integrating mod_plsql reports with Oracle Apps. A maddening dilemma.

    I'm hoping there is some guru out there that has the perfect solution to this maddening dilemma I'm facing.
    The crux of the issue is this.
    I've created mod_plsql reports that can accept a session_id with which they can set a user context based on global application contexts set in Oracle applications by users as they log in.
    At this juncture, I have not figured out a way to call those mod_plsql reports from Oracle apps using a variable session_id as defined for the user when they logged into apps.
    My client want to be able to log into Oracle apps and then go to the mod_plsql reports from the Oracle Apps menu and maintain the user session, so that the mod_plsql reports are run using VPD to constrain access to the data they are displaying to that specific user.
    The client does not have Single Sign On installed nor OID.
    I had hoped to pass a variable parameter session_id from the defined menu function that would call the mod_plsql url, but I don't see any way to pass a variable there and am becoming convinced that doing so is not an option. Can anyone confirm this?
    An alternate option I'm considering that seems like it would work is to create a JSP page that gets called from a menu function. In that JSP page, I would retrieve the session_id set in apps based on the context for the user_id that I could retrieve from fnd_global.user_id and assemble a URL with the session_id that the page would then re-route to the mod_plsql page.
    Unfortunately, I'm not versed in JSP.
    How hard would it be to create the sort of page that I'm talking about?
    Would the JSP need to part of OAF?
    Can anyone think of any other options that would take care of the issue I'm dealing with?
    Thanks.

  • Integrating apex form with oracle portal

    Afternoon friends,
    I have got a senario like integrating apex form with oracle portal.I dont have any idea on oracle portals.so please let me know the basic steps on how to go ahead to integrate apex forms with oracle portal and for that what i need to have apart with my database and apex.

    Hello
    Couldn't see my previous post... so here it is again
    We have integrated Apex into Oracle Portal
    Here's how we did it.
    In the portal page, we have created an Element region with the following code:
    <script language="Javascript">
       <!--
       function changeIframeHeight(){
          var ifrmObj = document.getElementById('apexIframe');
          if(ifrmObj) {
             if(navigator.appName=='Microsoft Internet Explorer') { //IE
                ifrmObj.height = ifrmObj.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight+20;
             else {
                ifrmObj.style.height = ifrmObj.contentWindow.document.body.offsetHeight+50;
       //-->
    </script>
    <p><iframe width="100%" height="500" frameborder="0" onload="javascript: changeIframeHeight();" src="/pls/apex/f?p=115:10" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" name="apexIframe" id="apexIframe"></iframe></p>You just have to make sure that the name and id of the iFrame and the elementId in the javascript are the same.
    And change the SRC so that it point you application.
    Hope that helped you.

  • How to provide joins between oracle tables and sql server tables

    Hi,
    I have a requirement that i need to generate a report form two different data base. i.e Oracle and Sql Server.
    how to provide joins between oracle tables and sql server tables ? Any help on this
    Regards,
    Malli

    user10675696 wrote:
    I have a requirement that i need to generate a report form two different data base. i.e Oracle and Sql Server. Bad idea most times. Heterogeneous joins do not exactly scale and performance can be severely degraded by network speed and b/w availability. And there is nothing you can do in the application and database layers to address performance issue at the network level in this case - your code's performance is simply at the mercy of network performance. With a single glaring fact - network performance is continually degrading. All the time. Always. Until it is upgraded. When the performance degradation starts all over again.
    If the tables are not small (few 1000 rows each) and row volumes static, I would not consider doing a heterogeneous join. Instead I would rather go for a materialised view on the Oracle side, use a proper table and index structure, and do a local database join.

  • Taking snapshot of oracle tables to sql server using transactional replication is taking a long time

    Hi All,
    I am trying to replicate around 200 oracle tables onto sql server using transaction replication and it taking a long time i.e the initial snapshot is taking more than 24 hrs and it still going on.
    Is there any way to replicate those these tables faster?
    Kindly help me out..
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to the description, I know the replication is working fine. But it is very slow. 
    1. Check the CPU usage on Oracle publisher and SQL Server. This issue may due to slow client processing (Oracle performance) or Network performance issues.
    2. Based on SQL Server 2008 Books Online ‘Performance Tuning for Oracle Publishers’ (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms151179(SQL.100).aspx). You can enable the transaction
    job set and follow the instructions based on
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms147884(v=sql.100).aspx.
    2. You can enable replication agent logging to check the replication behavior. You may follow these steps to collect them:
    To enable Distribution Agent verbose logging. Please follow these steps:
    a. Open SQL Server Agent on the distribution server.
    b. Under Jobs folder, find out the Distribution Agent.
    c. Right click the job and choose Properties.
    d. Select Steps tap, it should be like this:
    e. Click Run agent and click Edit button, add following scripts by the end of scripts in the command box:
            -Output C:\Temp\OUTPUTFILE.txt -Outputverboselevel 2
    f. Exit the dialogs
     For more information about the steps, please refer to:

  • Imported essbase cube into Oracle BI

    I have created Oracle BIEE dashboards using ESSBASE cube as source
    I am following the below steps :
    Step 1 : from Administrative Tool i imported essbase cube into the physical layer
    Step 2 : i drag the cube in to the Business Model layer and Presentation Layer
    Step 3 : while creating Oracle BI dashboards in Answers(Presentation Service), Metadata is perfectly Comming but the Measure values should always be empty.
    I followed the link for creating and configuring the the Oracle BIEE Dashboards with Oralce Hyperion Essbase 11.1.3

    i am facing the problem to get the Amount Values, So i need help to Achive this issue.
    Thanks and regards,
    Mano

    Have you set the dimension in your Essbase cube that stores the data facts (Amount Values) as an "Accounts" dimension? If not, do that. You'll need to re-import the whole thing in the BI Administration tool again and then drag it across to the BMM and Presentation layers.

  • Integration of BI with Oracle EBS R12

    Hi friends,
    Im in the process of integrating oracle BI 11g with the EBS R12, by following the saurabh gautam document.
    I followed all the steps indeed in the document but it didnt worked as i can redirect to the BI 11g page soon after clicking the menu in the EBS R12, but the BI login page is appearing soon after that. Since i dont want that login page to ask and im looking for SSO with BI.
    So, soon after clicking the menu it has to go the BI home page directly. I have followed all the steps in the document but none seemed to work.
    I have followed the below steps in the EBS R12 application side.
    <li>Function
    <li>Menu
    <li>Responsibility
    <li>User
    <li>Profile
    And also setted up the change described in that document in the BI side too.
    <li>the Connection Pool for Oracle e-Business Suite database
    <li>Setting up Authentication
    <li>OBIEE Configuration Changes
    -----------Updating authenticationschemas.xml
    -----------Updating instanceconfig.xml.
    Finally i have restarted the BI server too. But while clicking the menu in EBS now it is redirecting to the BI login page instead of navigating to the BI home page.
    What might be the issue friends, is im missing something in the document that i followed.
