Issue Action links,Column sorting in OBIEE(11g) 11.1.1.7.0

Hello everyone,
I want to provide the feature column sorting to my users but i dont want to provide any feature to users when they click on right mouse button.When we click on right mouse in action link column value it is giving the "action links","include/exclude columns" options etc.
I disabled the do not display the action link report name in the column properties.
Also disable the include/exclude columns options in the interaction XYZ properties of the view.
But still i am not able to understand why these links are coming when i run the report from the dashboard.
Please help me out here.
thanks,
prassu

Hi Timo,
I am using data control web services to get these attributes on to the jspx page. The table has the value property which is binding to the iterator( #{bindings.SUMMARY_LINES_ITEM.collectionModel}).
The table has various coulmns like order no, status, request and so on..where Order no and status are converted to a cmd link which navigates to another page on a query.
I don't understand how setting sorting to true in one of the columns can make it not found in the iterator! And I get the errors only if sorting is done first before querying(clicking on one of the values in a column to navigate to another page).
Thanks,
Sue

Hiding a report based on Action Link on report column values in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I have two Daashboard pages. In Page1, I have Report1.
In Page2, I have Report 2 and Report 3 in different sections.
My requirement is, to create Action Link on two columns in Report1. Column1 should be navigated to Report2 in Dashboard Page2 and Column2 should be navigated to Report3 in the same Dashboard Page.
Is it possible to use variables to hide Report2 when we click on Column1 and Report3 when we click on Column2.
If yes, how to achieve this requirement?
Please help me out.
Thanks in Advance.

Please see the following thread - I just implemented exactly what you are looking for. The bad thing is that it does require adding an additional column to all of your reports.

Issue with Skip Level Hierarchy in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have implemented Ragged and Skip Level Hierarchy as explained in the links below in OBIEE 11g RPD.
(checked the 'Ragged' and 'Skipped Levels' check boxes)
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/07/obiee-11gr1-support-for-ragged-skip-level-value-based-hierarchies/
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/bi.1111/e10540/dimensions.htm#BABFBBFG
When the Presentation Hierarchy is dragged in the OBI Answers, the leaf level beyond the skip (null) levels is not shown in the report.
When any level finds intermediate null values, OBIEE is failing to show the existing value of the leaf level (Most Granular Level) or any values after Skipped Levels.
For example, following is the values in database for different levels of department hierarchy.
A -> B -> C -> Null -> Null -> F
The OBIEE Presentation Hierarchy can only drill down till C, not beyond that. (does not show the leaf level value 'F').
Could you please suggest whether I am missing any step?
Thanks.

Hi, My problem is that in my report it is showing me that levels as -- A -> B -> C -> Null -> Null -> F, however I want to show data as A -> B -> C -> F, i.e the null valus(columns) should be skipped. Please help.
Thanks and Regards,
Deepak

Links to document in OBIEE 11G

Hi,
I would like to know, how certain links to stored document can be configured in OBIEE 11G
eg: We have 'Help' icon, on click it opens up the 'Help Doc' which is stored in default (../analytics/olh/l_en) location.
I want to know where are the settings (in which files) to edit the link and point to someother location
Regards,
Jitendra

Ok,
We wanted to show an Icon or Link which will navigate user (once clicked) to a pre-defined location where 'Help Content Files' will be located.
Now, I was able to achieve this with the use of "Link or Image" object from 'Dashboard Objects' (once you edit Dashboard check the options at LHS); and configuring 'Link or Image Object' with path to files as well as image.

Jitendra

Dynamic Column sorting in OBIEE?

Hi,
Does anybody knows how to sort columns dynamically in a report on asc or desc order.Any automatic mechanism.

Gianluca Ancarani wrote:
You can use in the RPD (in the Business Model Layer) a specific COLUMN SORT to sort a scecific Logical Column, in this way a column in a report is always sorted, but you have to build the specific COLUMN SORT inside the physical table or in the business model layer.
See this blog: http://obiee101.blogspot.it/2008/11/obiee-sort-order-column-property.html
Regards,
GianlucaI think the user is trying to sort the report based on the Names of the columns rather than the data in a specific column.

Default column sort order for 11g table

Could anyone give me some indication on how I would go about setting the default sort order for a table?
I have a table with a few columns, and dataset returns in a particular order, but my table decides to sort if in any given order until I manually click on the column header and sort it.
I would like to have it done by default on a particular field.
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks
Jonny

As Chris says, the easiest way and best re-use way is to use the order-by clause in your underlying model layer SQL query. For instance in ADF BC this would be in a View Object's query.
However as you haven't dictated your model layer technology, there is another way in JDev 11g. In your web page that contains the ADF Faces RC table, select the binding tab at the bottom of the page, then double click on the iterator in the binding page, and in the Edit Iterator Binding dialog, select the Sort Criteria tab. This allows you to override the sort order on the iterator's columns.

How to add two columns in criteria(OBIEE 11g)

Hi,
I am trying to add two columns in a criteria in obiee
*"Fact - OLB Processed Invoices"."Invoice Amount - Functional Currency"__"Fact - OLB Processed Invoices"."AR Tax Amount - Invoice Currency"
but the problem is :-
The first column have 500000000 and the second column contains NULL values the actual table. I think this might be the problem when I am trying to add them it is giving no output.
just a blank box.
Can any one tell me how can we add columns in this condition.
Thank to one and all.

Try IFNULL(expr, value)
for other column
"Fact - OLB Processed Invoices"."Invoice Amount - Functional Currency"+IFNULL("Fact - OLB Processed Invoices"."AR Tax Amount - Invoice Currency",0)

Multiple column selection in OBIEE 11g

Hi david,
I read your post, the one thing i couldn't understand is about dummy column and hiding.
you told i can a new column and hide that column, but still i could't figured it out.
so, if possible can you explain me in more detail.
your help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Rahul@Amith, Venkat's blog is not what the user is looking for. It doesn't apply.
Rahul, did you try what I asked? What specific part of what step did you not know what to do. My steps were detailed so I'm not sure what to "explain" unless you tell me exactly what you didn't get. If you didn't do anything and just want me to explain it again, then I say, do it first. The step-by-step instructions can be followed without "knowing what it's going to do," but when you do it, you'll see what I mean.
Remember, this is a free forum. You are not paying me to help you so you need to show that you are doing your homework by testing what I say to do. So go back and read the post again and actually do the steps. If you don't know how to do a specifc step, then ask about that.
This method will solve your requirement, put effort into applying it.

Column specific filter Obiee 11g

Hi all,
I am trying to filter a column from edit formula tab. It is not a measure column. I am getting an error
"the filter function requires at least one measure attribute in its first argument. select a measure or deselect all text to insert a new filter expression".
Please help me out from this issue...
Thanks

Aswin,
If you are trying to filter a column by a predicate the best way to do that is to use the standard column filter.
You access that by clicking the little icon to the right of the column in the criteria tab and then select filter.
The other filter is there for filtering an expression. If you need help in using the filter expression within the Edit Formula tab then click the help button on that tab to see more detailed information on how to use the arguments of that function.
Please award points is this is helpful or the correct answer.

Issue with Weblogic services in Linux OBIEE 11G

Hello All,
I have a OBI 11G set up on a linux OS.I am facing a issue with weblogic service.
Whenever I am trying to start the Admin server from command line using its .sh , it is starting successfully.

OBI is working perfectly when that Linux session and Admin server log is intact, but as soon as i close either of them Admin server shut itself down.
Please any help on this will be appreciated.

Can anyone please answer this and i have to do this both in OBIEE and BIP also,..

you cant do like that. But you can try to create a multiple schedules for the same report to the req which you are looking for. But normally you can do is like every min,daily,weekly,monthly,quarterly and annually. If you select monthly there you can select only on every 1st/2nd/3rd/4th/last weekday(Sunday to Monday) or else in a month like every month 25th etc like that.

Logout link is missing in OBIEE 11g

HI,
After enabling SSO using CA Siteminder i am able to login to OBIEE11g using sso enabled url, but after logging in i dont see the logoff button at the top of OBIEE. From the EM under security i have enabled sso and added logon url and logoff url and verified the same in instanceconfig.xml but still the logoff button is not visible. Any help?
Thanks,
RM

SSVS,
ya i did verify the authenticationschemas.xml it has the below values:

<SchemaKeyVariable source="serverVariable" nameInSource="REMOTE_USER" forceValue="SSO"/>
<SchemaKeyVariable source="serverVariable" nameInSource="REMOTE_USER" forceValue="SSO-ATG"/>
*<SchemaKeyVariable source="httpHeader" nameInSource="SM_USER" forceValue="SSO-Siteminder"/>*

<AuthenticationSchema name="SSO-Siteminder" displayName="CA Siteminder" userID="IMPERSONATE" proxyUserID="NQ_SESSION.RUNAS" options="noLogoffUI noLogonUI">

*<RequestVariable source="httpHeader" type="auth" nameInSource="SM_USER" biVariableName="IMPERSONATE" options="required"/>*

</AuthenticationSchema>
but i dont think we can define the logoff and logonURL in here. It will be updated in instanceconfig.xml file when we update the logon and logoff url from EM under Security ->singlesignon
<Authentication>

<EnabledSchemas>UidPwd,Impersonate,UidPwd-soap,Impersonate-soap,SSO-Siteminder,SSO</EnabledSchemas>
<SchemaExtensions>

<Schema name="SSO" logonURL="http://web1.com/analytics/" logoffURL="http://hostname:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Logoff"/>
</SchemaExtensions>
</Authentication>
I have the above values in there. Any other thoughts from you
