Issue with Presentation Hierarchy in obiee 11g

Hi Guru's
I am using a presentation hierarchy in obiee 11 g, but it is behaving weirdly when expanding the hierarchy
for example i have a hierarchy for languages when i expand one country in the hierarchy all the countries which has similar childs are getting expanded
for Example Parent A B C D
under A i have 1, 2,3,4, under B i have 5,6,7,8 under C i have 9, 10 ,11, 12 under D i have 1, 13, 14, 15
so when i expand A in answers D is also getting expanded as i have 1 as common value in both the parents.
can some please help me how to fix this, as the user does not like this expansion
Thanks in advance,

That is strange... I downloaded the files from the left hand side of this page:
[Sample Application site|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/obiee-samples-167534.html]
... the title states quiite clearly that the Sample Application (Build 825) applies to OBIEE release 11g.
Best regards

Issue with presentation Varibles in OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1

Need your help regarding in resolving an issue in OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1
There are 6 reports say ‘A’,’B’,’C’,’D’,’E’,’F’ in the same subject area.
The reports are being configured with prompts using either the repository/presentation variables.
One of the reports say ‘A’ has been configured to pass the values using presentation variables from the prompt in Advanced Tab of the report request to the stored procedure defined in the Execute Before Query section of the connection pool.
After running another report ‘B’ in the same subject area, upon visiting the report ‘A’ view display error is being seen ( Please have a look below Erro for the reference) .
Speculate the issue is around presentation variables of report ‘A’ getting initialized even before running the report.
Appreciate your earliest advise as this is a prod issue.
We got below error :
View Display Error_
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Error Details
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
Request cannot be processed. Custom message. Contact System

Since the SP is on connection pool (and looks like expecting a input value), that may causing for error.
Column in the report, pass PS variable and hide it if it not required in the report.
Pls mark if helps

Issue with Dashboard customization in OBIEE 11G

Hi All,
I have a dashboard page with 1 prompt and 4 sections. My need is to show all sections minimized when a user logs in to the analytics. So as a Admin I have minimized all sections and saved the customization for others as Default customization.
Now the problem is I have column called Month in my Prompt, which is a Multi select column, for this column I made to select few values by default using SQL results option, which basically selects all months less than current month, for example current month is Jan'13 so values till Dec'12 month will be checked by default. Since we have saved customization, the month column is not getting refreshed , for example when I login to analytics on Feb'13 , the data is still checked till Dec'12, which ideally should also include Jan'13 as well.
Anyone please advise on this issue.
Thanks,
GJ

Hi,
I used this method with success in a number of dashboards, it should work also in your case.
I defined the dashboard prompt to have column values defaulted in some way (by means of specifying explicit values, using SQL results or variables, etc - the method does not matter).
I built the dashboard page including prompt and analyses.
Then I run the dashboard page and, without doing anything other, I collapsed the sections I wanted to start as closed and saved as shared customization.
It does work fine in my case, the prompt works as specified.
Hope this helps,
Cristina

Presentation Variable in obiee 11g

Hi all ,
I had a dashboard report with year , quarter , month and order type name as prompts .
Now my client requirement is , when order type name is "Ord" , the reports with order type name starting with 'ORD" should be displayed.
In simple i know we will use " Like" operator .
But now my problem is we have to assign a presentation variable for order type name.
So can some one tell me how to add a presentation variable in OBIEE 11g , i tried in web , but none of it helped me to finish the job ,, since i am very new to obiee can some one please explain me in non technical language
Thank you for your help

Hi Jay , Thank you very much for reply , now i got a little idea , but few doubts abt ur reply .
Yes i will edit dashboard prompt and assign a like operator and will save the prompt , but when editing the report , you said to apply a filter *LIKE @{presentation_variable}{default_value}%*
In the above what will be in place of presentation_variable and what should be in default_value.
I have tried it in this way : Like @{Sales Order Lines Order Type Name} , where Sales Order Lines Order Type Name is my dashboard prompt .
but it didn't worked when i have given 'Ord' in dashboard prompt the error says: Sales Order Lines Order Type Name is LIKE (pattern match) ord

Parent Child Hierarchy in OBIEE 11G

Hi All,
I am working on the parent child hierarchy in OBIEE 11g Source ESSBASE ..followed some of the blogs.
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/07/obiee-11gr1-enhancements-to-essbase-support/
I followed the following steps.
1.Imported the Cubes from ESSBASE.
2.Selected Accounts Hirearchy and changed the Hierarchy type to Value.
3.Dragged the subject area to BMM and to Presentation.
4.Now when i checked the Account Hierarchy from in the dashboard its not drilling down.
If i change the Hierarchy type to Unbalanced ...then the Account hiearchy is working fine.
Is there is any settings or process i have to follow..inorder to implement the Value based Hierarchy in OBIEE 11G source ESSBASE.
Thanks

So basically this means that if I build a parent child hierarchy on table A having the stucture like
--David (Manager)
-----James (Off1)
--------Bill (Off2)
and in my sales fact table for let's say today, I have only rows for Bill (Off2) because he is the only officer who did the sales today. Now when I will join my fact table to parent child hierarchy table A I will NOT get any data ? because there is no James who is the parent of Bill. So obiee need to have parent pulled off in the data (ANCESTOR) to be able to roll up the child.(IS_LEAF = 1)
I testes this and if my data only contains only rows for Bill (or I limit on ROLE = Off2) then it won't show the hierarchy. The query which OBIEE fires is to look for either ANCESTOR_KEY = NULL OR (DISTANCE = 1 AND ANCESTOR KEY IN (Bill). Therefore it doesn't I am wondering then what is the use of builiding the parent child hierarchy when we need to pull in all the ancestors (like in this case James for bill and David for james) because in real scenarios there can be cases wherein we would want to filter the data based on other dimensions to which the parent child hierarchy joins ?

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

Error while using between operator with sql stmts in obiee 11g analytics

can anyone help me out in resolving this issue.

Hi All,
Thank u all for ur replies, but I dint the exact solution for what I'm searching for.
If I use the condition as
"WHERE "Workforce Budget"."Used Budget Amount" BETWEEN MAX("Workforce Budget"."Total Eligible Salaries") AND MAX("Workforce Budget"."Published Worksheet Budget Amount"",
all the data will be grouped with the two columns which I'm considering in the condition.
my actual requirement with this query is to get the required date from a table to generate the report either as daily or weekly or monthly report. If I use repository variables, variables are not getting refreshed until I regenerate the server(which I should not do in my project). Hence I have created a table to hold weekly start and end dates and monthly start and end dates to pass the value to the actual report using between operator.
please could anyone help me on this, my release date is fast approaching.

Issue in Dashboard Prompt of OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I had recently migrated from OBIEE 10g to OBIEE 11g.
I had found that there are lot of things which were working on OBIEE 10g are not working in OBIEE 11g.
For Eg:
I have scenario where i have 2 dashboards with different dashboard prompts.
- *1st Dashboard*: I have prompt with 4 columns Year, Month, Qtr and Week. I can filter the data based on the selection of prompt.i.e Summary Report showing all KPIs and when clicked on the any of the KPI it goes to Below report which shows the graphical view of past weeks data.
- Report: Here i show all the week Ids in the Graph format and when clicked on the any week id it navigates to 2nd Dashboard(below) with appropriate week populated in the prompt and show the detailed records.
- *2nd Dashboard*: I have prompt with 5 columns Year, Month, Qtr, Week and Day of the Week with some detailed report. Here the only Week Id should be pre populated and show data based on the week id selection in the above report.
The issue here in OBIEE 11g is, The month Id which was selected in 1st Dashboard prompt is also getting pre populated into the 2nd dashboard prompt. Which should not happen.
Note: This was working fine in OBIEE 10g.
Is there any way to fix this issue in OBIEE 11g.
Regards
Shyam
Edited by: user9954342 on Dec 23, 2010 2:01 AM

Hi Bala,
Thank you for your response.
I had tried that and resolved my problem but it was impacting other reports i.e
I have other reports in 1st Dashboard with different tabs, Here i want the prompt value to be persisted across the reports in same dashboard so that when i go to other tab with in same dashboard the prompt value should be pre-populated and the data should be filtered against that.
Now if i change the scope to page then i will be loosing this functionality.
It was working on OBIEE 10g and i lost this after migrating to OBIEE 11g.
Can you please help me in this regard.

Shyam

Help with displaying BLOBs in OBIEE 11g

I am trying to get OBIEE 11g to display photographs in an Analysis report. I know BLOB fields are not supported, and I have been reading posts on this board and following examples on internet sites that try to get round this problem. But, try as I might, I cannot get those pesky photos to display.
Below are all the steps I have followed. Sorry that there is a lot to read, but I was hoping that somebody has been successful in doing this, and may spot something in one of my steps that I am doing wrong.
ORACLE TRANSACTIONAL SOURCE_
Table : EMPL_PHOTO
Fields:
USN VARCHAR2(11) ( Unique Key )
EMPLOYEE_PHOTO BLOB ( I think the photos are stored as 'png' )
ORACLE WAREHOUSE SOURCE_
Table : D_PERSON_PHOTO_LKUP
Fields :
PERSON_KEY     NUMBER(38,0) ( Primary Key - Surrogate )
USN     VARCHAR2(11)
PHOTO     CLOB
BLOB to CLOB conversion.
I used this function :
     create or replace function blob_to_clob_base64(p_data in blob)
     return clob
     is
     l_bufsize integer := 16386;
     l_buffer raw(16386);
     l_offset integer default 1;
     l_result clob;
     begin
     dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_result, false, dbms_lob.call);
     loop
     begin
     dbms_lob.read(p_data, l_bufsize, l_offset, l_buffer);
     exception
     when no_data_found then
     exit;
     end;
     l_offset := l_offset + l_bufsize;
     dbms_lob.append(l_result, to_clob(utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(utl_encode.base64_encode(l_buffer))));
     end loop;
     return l_result;
     end;
     select usn, employee_photo ,
     BLOB_TO_CLOB_BASE64(employee_photo)
     from empl_photo
IN OBIEE ADMINISTRATION TOOL_
*1) Physical Layer*
Added D_PERSON_PHOTO_LKUP from Connection Pool
Left it as 'Cachable'
Didn't join it to any tables
Changed field PHOTO to a 'LONGVARCHAR' length 100000
Set USN as the Key ( not the surrogate key )
*2) BMM Layer*
Dragged D_PERSON_PHOTO_LKUP across.
Renamed it to 'LkUp - Photo'
Ticked the 'lookup table' box
Removed the surrogate key
Kept USN as the Primary key
The icon shows it similar to a Fact table, with a yellow key and green arrow.
On Dimension table D_PERSON_DETAILS (Dim - P01 - Person Details) added a new logical column
Called it 'Photo'
Changed the column source to be derived from an expression.
Set the expression to be :
Lookup(DENSE
"People"."LkUp - Photo"."PHOTO",
"People"."Dim - P01 - Person Details"."USN" )
Icon now shows an 'fx' against it.
Note: This table also had it Surrogate key removed, and USN setting as primary key.
*3) Presentation Layer*
Dragged the new Photo field across.
Saved Repository file, uploaded, and restarted server.
ONLINE OBIEE_
Created a new Analysis.
Selected USN from 'Person Details'
Selected Photo from 'Person Details'
Selected a measure from the Fact table
Under column properties of Photo ( data format ) :
- Ticked 'Override Default Data Format' box
- Set to Image URL
- Custom text format changed to : @[html]"<img alt="" src=""@H"">"
Under column properties of Photo ( edit formula ) :
- Changed to : 'data:image/png;base64,'||"Person Details"."Photo"
The Advanced tab shows the sql as :
     SELECT
     0 s_0,
     "People"."Person Details"."USN" s_1,
     'data:image/png;base64,'||"People"."Person Details"."Photo" s_2,
     "People"."MEASURE"."Count" s_3
     FROM "People"
     ORDER BY 1, 2 ASC NULLS LAST, 3 ASC NULLS LAST
     FETCH FIRST 65001 ROWS ONLY
Going into the 'results' tab, get error message:
+State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.

It doesn't seem to be using the Lookup table, but can't work out at which step I have gone wrong.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks, yes I followed http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/bi.1111/e10540/busmodlayer.htm#BGBDBDHI, but when I get to the part of setting the LOOKUP function on th Physical source, only ONE physical source is displayed. I need TWO sources ( The Employee Table, and the Photo LookUp.
I have raised this as an error with Oracle. We are now on OBIEE 11.1.1.7, but Oracle say BLOBS are still not supported in that release. It will be fixed in 11.1.1.8 and it will be backported into 11.1.1.6.11
In the meantime we have abandoned showing Photo's in any of our reports.

This requirement sounds like it has a possible solution with some html coding. My idea is to :
1) Create a dashboard with two pages.
2) In the first page, create an iframe of the first dashboard.
3) In the second page, create an iframe of the second dashboard.
4) Customize the second dashboard page to have the custom background color.
Please refer to this link on how to customize the dashboard pages: http://www.appsassociates.com/resources/presentations/AA_OBIEE_Customizing_Dashboard_Appearance_NEOAUG_Fall09.pdf
Please assign points if helpful.
Thank you,
