Integrating OBIEE with OLAP 10g??

Hi,
I'm working on OLAP 10g and I am trying to create cube on star schema. I have worked on the sample module Oracle has provided in the website and it was pretty much straight fwd.
I'm confused how to model the levels, hierarchy and define attributes. As per my understanding I know that we need to define levels which are part of dimensional hierarchy and the same are selected to define hierarchies in AWM. How do we define other attributes like Address, First Name, Last Name? I dont think I can define them in the attributes as they would appear on all the levels while defining the mappings.
Can you please let me know how to model in AWM while defining dimensions and cubes? If you have any documents other than the sample database documents which Oracle has provided please send it across. I appreciate your help in this regard.
I'm trying to build cubes and import them in OBIEE to create start schema and generate reports. We are trying to address performance issue.

All you need is here :
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/olap_biee/index.html
It talk about Olap 11g but you can apply it to 10g.
Cheers

Has anyone setup BIEE with OLAP 10g using value-based dimension hierarchies

I just wanted to know if it is possible to setup BIEE with 10g using multple dimensions containing multiple value-based hierarchies?
I know this involves using the OLAP Cube View Generator to create an sql view of the cube data.
I have been able to get this to work with nine dimensions all containing a single value-based hierarchy bar one which had four value-based hierarchies. But as soon as i have multiple hierarchies in multiple dimensions it seems to go haywire and i cannot get the sql view to return correct data.
I thought i would post on the BI side to see if anyone has been successful in creating a BIEE setup like this?

The simple answer to your question,
how robust is the 11g materialised views with multiple value-based hierarchies...?is that materialized views are not supported on top of value-based hierarchies in 11g. The reason is that it is not possible to write a reasonable SQL statement that aggregates a fact over a value-based hierarchy. Such a SQL statement is necessary if we want to create a rewritable MV on top of the cube.
But I suspect this is not what you are really asking. If you are trying to set up OBIEE on top of the cube in 10g using the view generator, then you will probably want to use the "ET VIEWS" that are generated automatically in 11g. These are generated whether or not you enable materialized views on top of your cube. I am not aware of any issues with the generated value-based hierarchy view support in 11g. Members may be shared between value hierarchies and you will not need to generate or modify limit maps.

Integrating OBIEE with Mapviewer

Was trying to integrate mapviewer with OBIEE.Followed step given by venkat in blog.
Having some problem in passing URL from Mapviewer to BI.
have used following code
function foiClick(point,foi)
var drillURL
="http://localhost/analytics/saw.dll?Go&NQUser=Administrator&Path=/users/administrator/test&Options=md&Action=Navigate&P0=1&P1=eq&P2=CUSTOMER_D.CITY&P3="+foi.attrs[1];
alert("URL "+drillURL)
objWin = window.open(drillURL, "biee","height=480,width=240,scrollbars=yes,resizeable=yes");
problem is with " foi.attrs[1] ".It is not able to get the CITY name.
Error: 'attrs' is null or not an object

what we want is when user clicks on map it should be able to get the city name where user has clicked.
As per few blogs and documents it states that 'foi.attrs[1]' will store city name.
we are passing that city name as filter in our URL.
"http://localhost/analytics/saw.dll?Go&NQUser=Administrator&Path=/users/administrator/test&Options=md&Action=Navigate&P0=1&P1=eq&P2=CUSTOMER_D.CITY&P3="+foi.attrs[1];

CCX7.0 Database Integration with Oracle 10g through ODBC

Good Day…
We are up to integrate CCX7.0 with Oracle 10g, CCX7.0 documents show the way to integrate the CCX7.0 with SQL server, but mention nothing about Oracle 10g, anyway...
I tried to check the ODBC options, there were many options, I tried to select any Oracle related choice, just to find out Oracle should supply the driver for it. In the forums, people say it’s an Oracle Client, but what will this client do? Am I going to connect though it to the oracle database server or is it going to query the database to my CCX server? What am I going to use in this case, user DSN or system DSN?
If there any tips or recommendations I will be grateful, as it is my first database integration.
Thanks
AT

Hi Aaron
Thanks Aaron for the information, and yes you are right, I am not a database person.
I have here some questions, sorry if some of them sounds silly
1)       Is there a certain Oracle Client version? or and Oracle Client will work for me?
2)       Do you recommend system DSN on user DSN?
3)       “…. available to any device on the system” as you said in your reply, what do you mean by "device" and "system"? Sorry, but this will help to clear the picture to me
4)       What will this Oracle Client exactly do? Is it going to build an SQL table on my CCX server that query the information from the Oracle Server?
5)       My customer has already implemented database integration with IPCC3.5, how can I check the current configuration of the Oracle Client, and what things else should I check before proceeding with the integration?
The reason I want to understand this because there is a lot of database integration is requested from us, the CCX scripts can be used to query data from SQL tables, I read a lot about this –waiting for the implementation phase- the lucky me, the first integration I faces is with Oracle.
Anyway, who said learning is easy.
Thanks Aaron for your time, waiting your answers.

The action link option is only available in an integrated environment. This also means you need to access Answers via Siebel.
There are also some license keys which must be activated in Siebel. You can get them here: http://licensecodes.oracle.com/siebel_crm_bi_integration.html

How to integration obiee Authentication with external app?

now i need integrate obiee with external app(web application).
one user have 2 roles. one is teacher, others is school admin.
when he login in external app, the first screen show teacher and school amdin. he click teacher login in this system.
after user login in . system set the role into session.
then he want to see obiee dashboard in external app side.
in obiee side, i need do some resources control for this role.
but i how to get this role? i can get the two roles from LDAP server. but i need confirm user login in external app use which role?
i no idea for this .please help me.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
Sounds like your OBIEE apps needs to be able to get the role from the session (I assume database session), which means OBIEE needs to be able to get the same session from the external app. Does the external app set a cookie or something that would identify the session? If so use that cookie in OBIEE to get the session? More than likely need more details of the architecture of you external application!

Gareth

Help on OLAP 10g Cube

Hello Experts ,
Anybody has idea why simple SUM on measure group by dimension on my OLAP 10g cube performing so slow even a simple query taking lot of time and even not returning the result , Is it due to performance cause or due to some design issue or due to DB pramaters which restricting the cube data to be returned ?Is it known issue with database bug . I am on AWm 10g latest with 10g 64 bit DB 10.2.0.4 .
As we are completly stuck and not being able to progress the query on simple cube build on 20K data wiith 7 dimension However we tried with 2 dimension and it works perfectly fine .
any advice ?
Thanks ,
Debashis

Hi David ,
Even we tried to perform a query like :
Select * from mycube_view where measure1 is not null ;
also:
Select distinct measure1 from mycube_view ;
The query is running for ages without any result .
Also I can see 10g style cube views having diff structures like for 10g all the dimensions attributes present in the cube view itself . So for my OBIEE I could use single table based reorting I believe right ? But I wonder for OBIEE I need to put aggregate on my measure attribute or not ! for 11g I had put the aggregation like SUM against the measure attrbt there.
Many Thanks,
DxP

OBIEE with Essbase as datasource-what I need to know

I am getting into a project where Essbase is the datasource. I know nothing about Essbase but I an experienced OBIEE prof. Can anyone tell me the things I need to know about integrating Essbase with OBIEE, using Essbase cubes in obiee. I looking for some basic fundamentals of Essbase so I could successfully use Essbase cubes with OBIEE.
I find lot of materials online but not sure what I need to know for using Essbase as datasource for OBIEE. Any insight / links would be of lot of help. Thanks a million

It really depends on what you plan to do and which products in the stack you're going to use for what. If you intend to use Essbase as an aggregation layer to speed up you analysis, then you should look into learning more about fine-tuning your Essbase applications in terms of data loads, aggregation, optimizing calculations,...in terms of languages MDX and MaxL.
If you're looking to integrate applications like Workspace as well then you'll have to look at those as well.
Both areas are vast in terms of applications and functionalties so I'd suggest learning the basics and then deepening your know-how according to needs.
Cheers,

Obiee with unstructured data source

Hi,
How to work with Unstructured data sources using OBIEE 11g?Anybody any idea?examples would really help.
Is it also available in 10g also?
Please Help.
Regards,
Krish

Hi Krish,
It's actually possible to use OBIEE with unstructured data.
Even if you don't have real FK relations in your database and a proper model, OBIEE can create queries if you tell him where to find the joins and how they are defined.
The Idea is to create you FK in the physical layer and try to have a 3FN schema (star schema with Dimension and Fact) as much as possbile in your Business layer.
A very nice presentation is available on Mark Rittman webite:
http://www.rittmanmead.com/files/3_Complex_Modeling_with_OBIEE_Elio_Idema.pdf
Hope it will help you to start.
