Issue in Configuring ACT as functionality obiee 11g

Dear Expert,
I had done the below steps in creating ACT as functionality in 11g. I am using MS SQL Server 20005 and had created table called OBIEE_PROXY.
1. Created system variable called "PROXY"
2. Created Session initialisation variable (PROXY and PROXY LEVEL) and associated the connection pool
3. Created customs templates
4. Configured the instance.xml
5. Done the setting in the Manage privileges
6. Restarted the BI services
I had taken repository rpd to offline and done the above changes .Modified RPD is uploaded through EM and restarted the services. When I login and see the ACT as there is no users appearing in the screen .
Please advise if I missed any step. Also please advise that should i need to create a user’s in the web logic console which i am trying to pass from MS SQL Server.

Not able to configure Act As in OBIEE 11g - The application is logging out

Hi All,
We are trying to configure Act As in OBIEE 11g. The list of users gets populated when I click on Act As. However, when I select any user from the list, the applications logs out. The possible reason could be that OBIEE is not able to authenticate the user (We are using table based Authentication). Please give some pointers to fix it.
Also, I am curious to understand the authentication process in case of Act As. The list that gets populated is a list of target users from the table. In our case, the username and display name gets populated. But, how does OBIEE check if that is a valid user or not?
Thanks in Anticipation,
Karan

Does Act As functionality work with BI Publisher? I am able to login and select Act As and pick a user and view all dashboards, however when I click a PDF embedded in a dashboard page from Publisher, it says Unauthorized Access: please contact the administrator. If I am logged in as myself I can view the PDF. If I am logged in as the user I acting as I can view the pdf, but if I login as myself and act as that user and try and view it, that is when the error occurs, so am wondering is Act As is incompatible with BI Pub.

Hi All,
after migration from 10 to 11 act is working but only sometimes.
Sometimes the authentication with the user is refused.
Is there a timeout parameter?

Pre-Configured Virtual Machine with OBIEE 11g available?

Hi,
does Oracle offer a pre-configured Virtual Machine with OBIEE 11g? I found an old Virtual Box Image with 10.2..., but nothin newer.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I don't suppose this is available yet is it? I notice Oracle offer quite a few downloadable images for Virtual Box now, but OBI isn't included in any that I could see.

Issues when configure LDAP server in OBIEE

Hi,
I have a big issue, I configure LDAP server for authentication of users, and everything looks fine, but my problem is when I log in Interactive Dashbaords, I enter without any problem, but some parameters and some filters and some functions are NOT working, for example:
-In a parameter I have this condition for Default value: SELECT YEAR(Tiempo.Dia) FROM Finanzas WHERE Tiempo.dia = CURRENT_DATE, and returns me a null value, but if I change to this SELECT YEAR(Tiempo.Dia) FROM Finanzas WHERE Tiempo.dia = CURRENT_DATE-1, returns me "2010"
I have similar behaviors in other parameters, and some filters and some functions.
Everything happen in Development instance. I configure LDAP server in Development instance.
In Production instance nothing of this is happen, but I do not configure LDAP server yet.
What do anyone think is happen here? This happens because I configure LDAP server? What do you think that mades this behavior for my parameters, filters and functions?
Do you think is a better practice to clone Production instance to Development instance? If so, how can I do a clone instance, only for OBIEE?

Arnulfo

The date returned by CURRENT_DATE is determined by the system in which the Oracle BI Server is running. So, does CURRENT_DATE returns an equal values on prom and dev instances in your case?

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,

Issue with configuration of 'Special Function' to a custom output type

Hi Experts,
In my project we have a requirement to configure a custom output type for application V3 (billing) and assign a Special Function to it. I have assigned a custom Program Name and a custom form routine within the custom output type in Processing Routines (in NACE). But when I try to save the Billing document using VF01 / VF02 it gives me an error saying 'Processing Routine XXXXX in program ZXXXXX does not exist'. I have double checked that the Z program is activated. I have declared as follows:
REPORT ZXXXX.
FORM XXXX USING return_code us_screen.
Can anyone please tell me if I am missing something?
Thanks,
Avi

Hi Neil,
Now this error is resolved. It does not give me that message anymore. But I am getting a new error while saving the billing document with the customized output type. Following is my configuration in NACE:
Application: V3
Output Type: ZMAM
Program: YVRO_TOLLING
Form Routine: F_FETCH_AND_PREPARE_DATA
I am trying to place a break-point within the form routine F_FETCH_AND_PREPARE_DATA but it does not stop there. When go back inside the billing document, it shows an error against the ZMAM output type but has nothing in the processing log. Am I missing something?

Issue on Scheduling a report in OBIEE 11g

Hi Everyone,

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

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.

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.

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

Hi all,
We are able to resolve the above issue with the below solution.
Root cause of the issue:
You may have a temp directory in the path C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp. You got the above mentioned exception because of the temp directory path having spaces_+ in it.
Solution:
1. Create a new directory called TEMP in a different location for ex: C:\TEMP
2. Now, Right click on My computer --> Properties --> Advanced --> click on Environment Variables.
3. You should be having TEMP and TMP as variables under user variables section pointing to the C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp path.
4. Edit the TEMP and TMP variables and mention C:\TEMP in the variable value.
5. Deinstall and re-install OBIEE 11g.
Happy OBIEE 11g installation!!
Thanks,

OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.5.0) - Issue with starting Node Manager

Hi,
Have anyone faced an issue with starting Node Manager in OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.5.0)? OS is 64 bit Linux, WebLogic is 10.3.5. I used the software-install method and followed by running config.sh. Everything completed successfully. I updated the catalog and rpd location in the FMW control screen.

Hi,
There are Two types of Cipher suites --- Certicom Cipher Suite and SunJSSE Equivalent Cipher Suite. And with Weblogic 10.3.5, you are using Sun JSSE Cipher Suite, and by default Node Manager uses the Certicom Cipher Suite.
In the nodemanager.properties, Add CipherSuite=SSL_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5, save and restart Node Manager.

Need help -To Restrict Huge temp file, which grows around 3 GB in OBIEE 11g

Hi Team,
I am working on OBIEE 11.1.1.5 version for a client specific BI application. we have an issue concerning massive space consumption in OBIEE 11g installed linux environment whenever trying to run some detail level drill down reports. While investigating, we found that whenever a user runs the drill down report a temp file named nQS_xxxx_x_xxxxxx.TMP is created and keep's growing in size under the below given folder structure,
*<OBIEE_HOME>/instances/instance1/tmp/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/obis_temp/*
The size of this temp file grows huge as much as around 3 GB and gets erased automatically when the drill down report output is displayed in UI. Hence when multiple users simultaneously try to access these sort of drill down reports the environment runs out of space.
Regarding the drill down reports:
* The drill down report has around 55 columns which is configured to display only 25 rows in the screen and allows the user to download the whole data as Excel output.
* The complete rows being fetched in query ranges from 1000 to even above 100k rows. Based on the rows fetched, the temp file size keeps growing. ie., If the rows being fetched from the query is around 4000 a temp file of around 60 MB is created and gets erased when the report output is generated in screen (Similarly, for around 100k rows, the temp file size grows up to 3 GB before it gets deleted automatically).
* The report output has only one table view along side Title & Filters view. (No Pivot table view, is being used to generate this report.)
* The cache settings for BI Server & BI Presentation services cache are not configured or not enabled.
My doubts or Questions:
* Is there any way to control or configure this temp file generation in OBIEE 11g?
* Why the growing temp file automatically gets deleted immediately after the report output generation in screen. Is there any default server specific settings governing this behaviour?
* As per certain OBIEE article reference for OBIEE 10g, I learnt that for large pivot table based reports the temp file generation is quite normal because of huge in-memory calculations involved . However we have used only Table view in output but still creates huge temp files. Is this behaviour normal in OBIEE 11g. If not, Can any one Please suggest of any specific settings to be considered to avoid generating these huge files or atleast generate a compressed temp file.
* Any other work around solution available for generating a report of this type without the generation of temp files in the environment?
Any help/suggestions/pointers or document reference on this regard will be much appreciated. Please advice
Thanks & Regards,
Guhan
Edited by: 814788 on 11-Aug-2011 13:02

Hello Guhan,
The temp files are used to prepare the final result set for OBI presentation server processing, so as long as long you dataset is big the tmp files will be also big and you can only avoid this by reducing your dataset by for example filtering your report.
You can also control the size of your temp files by reducing the usage of the BI server.I mean by this if you are using any functions like for example sorting that can be handled by your database so just push to the DB.
Once the report finished the BI server removes automatically the tmp files because it's not necessary anymore.you can see it as a file that is used for internal calculations once it's done the server gets rid of it.
Hope this helps
