Issue in subject area of Answers in OBIEE

HI,
i installed OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1v recently,while I am trying to create some Adhoc reports with default repositary "SAMPLESALES",faced an issue that no presentation catalogue is appearing under subject area, so that i can't create reports.
I configured the samplesales repositary in NQS config file as well as Instance config file., but still facing the error.
please help me.
Regards

Are you sure the name of the RPD in the config file is exactly the same (incl. CaMelCASE)?
Regards

Log in as Admin- Setting-Administration-Manage Privileges-Search for your subject area and place appropriate restriction..

OBIEE 11g: Searching Subject Area for measure names in Answers

Hello,
I have installed OBIEE 11g SampleApp 825 and just exploring the provided set of dashboards.
From the samples, I am performing following steps:
- I selected Edit Dashboard (for 2.1 Simple Demo Dashboard)
- For Column 2, in the Master Detail 1 Compound View, I did Edit Analysis
- which took me into the Answers design interface with 4 tabs (Criteria, Results, Prompts, Adv).
In the Criteria tab, there is the Subject Area pane on the left where it shows the Subject Area this Answers report is built on and a bunch of Folders like Time, Products, Base Facts etc.
Beside the Subject Area pane, is the Selected Columns pane where you drop fields from the folders.
This particular analysis (Product Line Analysis) has three columns: Revenue Analysis, Products Hierarchy and T05 Per Name Year.
Now, I want to find the folder to which the Revenue Analysis measure belongs. So, I started expanding each node/folder in the Subject Area pane and visually searching for "Revenue Analysis"....cannot find it!
How to determine which Subject Area folder a field on the Analysis belongs to? In Oracle Discoverer, only the Folders from which fields are selected are "enabled" so it's easy to navigate straight to that folder. Or again, in Discoverer, you can actually search for a particular field name and it will return all folders that have that field name pattern. While the Search feature on the top row is useful in finding which Analysis/Report match a string, it does not help in identifying relevant Subject Area Folder fields that match a pattern.
Is something similar available in Answers/OBIEE 11g?
Thanks,
Manish

Again answering part of my own question...It was staring me right in the eye and I couldn't see it:-)...When you have a column in the Selected Columns pane, it's source is right there above the field name. If there is no source folder listed, then it might mean it's a formula. For example in my case, the Products Hierarchy column has the word Product above it...that's the folder it belongs to.
Good. But, the follow-on question still remains, how to search for folders containing a particular string, to find say all folders that have columns like %Margin%?

OBIEE SupplierSales Subject Area

Hi,
I am a newbie to OBIEE and trying to learn. I have created a sample repository based on SUPPLIER2 oracle sample database. I have create the physical, business & presentation layer catalog. I can also see SupplierSales subject area in Answers and no errors in global consistency check. But when I expand Product dimension it throws an error saying "There was an unknown error with the server call", while it is allowing to expand other dimensions.
What could be the cause of this error? Why is it allowing to expand other dimensions & not Product dimension?
Thanks,
Sidd

Hi,
Could you please, share (amoyeedATgmailDotCom) the SupplierSales Schema (DDL & Data) ? I am new to OBIEE and trying to learn. Your help would be highly appreciated.

Duplicate Subject areas

Hi All,
We are facing an issue where we are given only 1 OBIEE instance for testing.
I need to connect to DEV and a test instance.
I am thinking of an option where I will duplicate the subject area and create a new subject area.
For example: - My current subject are is 'Shipment Reports".
I will rename this as 'Shiment Report DEV" and duplicate this to create new subject area ( along with Business Model and Physical layer both) "Shipment Report UAT"
Now I will point 'Shiment Report DEV" to DEV database and "Shipment Report UAT" to UAT databse.
Is this possible and feasible?
Any other shortcut idea is also welcome. I tried merging of RPD but instead of creating 2 subject area, admin is retaining only 1 subject area.
I want to duplicate existing subject area.
Appreciate the input

take a copy of existing rpd calling as A.rpd and the base one is as base.rpd
in A.rpd rename Physical layer then BMM layer and then Presentation layer
and do the connection settings to point Test envi.
save it and keep open the A.rpd
Using different Admintool open base.rpd
Copy Physical layer content from A.rpd using CTRL+C
in base.rpd click on physical layer and paste it, then save with no consistence
Do the same for each BMM and Presentation
at the end save + consistence
host it, mark this as correct and have fun

Sharing Subject Areas

Are we able to share data from different subject areas in answers?
thanks,
Kathy
Edited by: user622098 on Mar 9, 2012 9:03 AM

Yes you can do that ....it is by using mutliple subject areas....what version admin you using, in 11g first select a subject area to analysis then on the top you see small symbol left to refresh button of database to add another SA to your analysis....if you query the fileds which are connected in physical layer ,then no performance issue...if not you might a delay in the query.

Google Map Issue in OBIEE - Subject area not getting associated

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to integrate Google map and OBIEE via mapviewer. We have done the following already -
1. Loaded World Sample data from Navteq.
2. Configured mapviewer source and added Google map as a tile layer with the API KEY.
3. Imported one layer (e.g. M_STATES_ABRV) in OBIEE and linked it with BI subject area (tried this step with importing other layers as well)
4. Added background map.
Now , in this step when we add the layer in the map, we select M_STATES_ABRV and change zoom levels. But Once we come back to main screen after Clicking OK, we see the background map is not associated with the subject area. Hence any map view report creation with this subject area fails.
We have the tried the same theme with Oracle Maps (internal type like WORLD MAP or DEMO MAP), it works fine. only Google Map gives this issue.
This was not expected. Please suggest what we missed. We tried with cache clear, tile delete and recreation, service restart almost everything .
We looked into other threads in this community, different oracle support documents - Doc ID 1485088.1,Doc ID 1346805.1 etc and in different internet blogs - where it's easy as child's play, but we are still out of luck.
OBIEE version - 11.1.1.7.140527
Environment- windows server 2008 R2
Please suggest.
Regards,
Krish

I have found the solution: You need to *select* zoom levels for the BI Layer. When a BI Layer is added to a background map, by default no zoom layers are selected. Once a zoom level is selected, the BI Layer will save.

Sohail,
Check out the catalogue manager reports :

If you want this kind of thing automated, I personally am very fond of the ODI -> OBIEE Data lineage solution as provided in Oracle By Example tutorials :

Subject Areas are inaccessible in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
We are facing a peculiar issue in our OBIEE environment. Some times when we update RPD in online mode and check in the changes, other developers are not able to access few Subject Areas though they have Read access for Everyone group. Today we faced this issue even when RPD is not updated.
Any help/suggestions on this will be helpful
Thanks,
Vijay

ours is a simple security model. we had issue with some new roles created for POC purpose. After removing those roles we are not facing issue anymore
