KPI Filtering in OBIEE 11g

Hello,
I've successfully installed OBIEE 11.1.1.5 and I'm starting testing the new 11g features.
One problem I've run into is fairly simple in definition: how can I filter a KPI through a watchlist or a strategy map?
I know that in defining watchlists and scorecard one can use the POV bar, and indeed it works perfectly, but when I put the watchlist or scorecard on a dashboard it's not possible to filter KPI results through a filter, and the pov bar control simply doesn't show up.
Can anyone help on this matter?
Thanks in advance!

Hi ,
As you have mentioned i have created a column prompt with presentation variable as "presyr"
i have a KPI , where the "target value" should have the value captured in "presyr" . So i have used the expression in target value as @{presyr}
i have put the kpi to a watchlist with "use point of view" option (i cannot use variables here as there is no presentation variable there)
After that i have put prompt and KPIwatchlist to dashboard while putting KPIwatchlist to dashboard i have used "use variable " option and i have selected presentation variable with value as "presyr"
but still the presentation value is not passing to target value in KPI
Did i missed any step please help
Thanks

  • Division calculation using different filters in OBIEE 11g

    Hello,
    I have a requirement where I want to calculate division of same column using different filters in one report.
    e.g. No. of Units (Where Active flag='A')/No. of units (Where Active flag='I').
    I am using OBIEE 11g.
    Thanks.

    Try this:
    ((case when Active flag='A' then No. of Units end)*1.0)/
    (case when Active flag='I' then No. of Units end)
    It would nice if you create a new metric based on physical expression using rpd. If possible try to create it so that you can have aggregation after the calculation.
    If helps pls mak as correct/helpful

    I get the same issue. I thought that it's a problem in a security - the catalog pane is clear in a union report. But saved filters work in 11g. I migrated catalog from 10g to 11g and I see saved filters in the conditions. But you may add saved filters directly into xml. Go on Tab Advanced and edit Analysis XML. You have to add code like this
    <sawx:expr xsi:type="sawx:savedFilter" path="/shared/FOLDER/_filters/FOLDER/FILTER_NAME" name="FILTER_NAME"/> in a right place.

  • 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

    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.

  • OBIEE 11g Unable to browse multiple value hierarchy for analysis.

    Hi All,
    We are using OBIEE 11g Value Hierarchy feature to display GL Segment Hierarchies.
    -     We have set the hierarchies to be Ragged and Skipped Levels in the RPD Business Model.
    -     We have dragged the hierarchies from Business Model to Presentation Layer.
    -     When selecting the hierarchies during Analysis, the first hierarchy that is browsed appears correctly. The next hierarchy when browsed just hangs.
    For example:
    Step 1: Browse Hierarchy1 (Block). The values show correctly.
    Step 2: Browse Hierarchy2 (Account). The hierarchy does not open with a blinking circle remaining forever.
    Alternatively;
    If we selected, Hierarchy 2(Account) first, the hierarchy shows correctly, but when selecting Hierarchy1 (Block) a blinking circle appears and remains for ever without opening the hierarchy.
    The nqquery.log shows correct result. My suspicion is that the issue is on the front end presentation services/javascript side.
    Is there any additional setup/configuration required to open multiple value hierarchies during analysis.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sasi

    I have a pretty good guess at the hanging problem, unforntunitly i have no solutions yet.
    I having same type of issue, hangs when building filters on for 2nd or 3rd dim table.. I can see obiee fireing off the query to populate the dropdown by running
    select distinct on and joining to the fact table and dimensions that the users usually have selecte prior to start creatinng the filters.
    It is sort of like doing a intra dimension filter.. Sounds good but if user does not cut way down on number of fact rows by the time 2nd filtered column is selected the generated query to populate the drop down can run and run.
    OBI SE Once and discoverer dd not do this, at least not out of the box.

  • OBIEE 11g Prompt's default value doesn't work with a presentation variable

    Hi, I'm using OBIEE 11g and I have two dashboard prompts (Product Name and Product Number). Theses prompts are hierarquical, so the values that are displayed in the Product Number prompt have dependency with the values chosen on the Product Name prompt. This I was able to do, but now I want to put a default value on the Product Number prompt. The steps are:
    1 - The user chooses the value for the Product Name Prompt and by doing that the Product Number prompt is automatically filled with the correspondent value.
    But unfortunatelly this is not working, after choosing the value for the Product Name the default value for Product Number is not displayed (when you open the prompt the values displayed are correct and already filtered considering the Product Name but the prompt is not automatically filled with the default value).
    What I did is:
    On the Product Name Prompt I've created a Presentation Variable called PROD.
    On the Product Number Prompt I've selected:
    1 - For the "Choice List Values" field I've checked the option "Limit Values by All Prompts"
    2 - For the "Default Selection" field I've chosen the SQL Results option and enter the following SQL:
    SELECT "Products"."Product Number" FROM "Sample Sales Lite"."Products" WHERE "Products"."Product"='@{variables.PROD}
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you,
    Carla

    Sorry I was wrong in my previous thread.
    Actually your approach is not correct, Product Number choose constraint that will show as per the selection of Product Name.
    Coming to default value for Product Number you are going for sql override that is okay but not work with variable, instead of setting default values for product number set that to product name.
    if not you need to go for 2 different prompts
    Prompt 1 Product Name hit GO
    Prompt 2 will work based on as you defined earlier with variables
    Hope this helps

  • OBIEE 11g Report-When drilling down to lower level, totals are not matching

    Hi All,
    I am creating a report in Analytics 7.9.6.3 , OBIEE 11g - Let’s say Budget Cost/Actual Cost based on the Date Dimension
    Have selected the Fiscal Year Dim, Fact Budget Cost, Fact Actual Cost
    FY BCost ACost
    2011 100 120
    2012 150 140
    Total 250 260
    But here when I am drilling down from Year to Quarter and Period - The values are not matching with the totals....
    FY FY Qrt BCost ACost
    2011 2011 Q1 80 100
    2011 Q2 100 90
    2011 Q3 110 120
    2011 Q4 90 130
    Total 380 440
    Fiscal Year, Fiscal Quarter Budget Cost and Actual Cost are not returning correct results – When selecting cost's by fiscal year, or filtering on a specific fiscal year, the amount returned does not equal the fiscal year total;
    when I am drilling down to Quarter and Period Level the BCost & ACosts are bumping the Numbers as above and not matching with totals
    Any suggestions?

    Check out the query in both the times.Execute against database and try to sum the data for quarter/period and compare it with Year data.
    Just try to differentiate is it a report total that is getting wrong or the data in the database table itself is getting wrong stored.
    Mark as helpful if it helps.

  • Annotations (comments) in OBIEE 11g

    Hi All,
    OBIEE 11g offers annotation functionality which allows users to add comments to KPIs, objectives and initiatives in a Scorecard. I wanted to know if such feature is available for 'Analyisis' as well? Or in other words, can users add comments to the reports they make or view?
    Thanks in Anticipation,
    Karan

    Thanks Deepak.
    My client is looking for a functionality that can help their users post comments on the reports (basically a discussion forum kind of an environment). The intent is to promote collaborative decision making. I see that 'annotations' in scorecards come really close to it. So are you suggesting that 'annotations' are limited only to scorecards? I would have loved to see this feature in Reports as well.

    Karan

  • Hierarchy Prompts in OBIEE 11g

    Hi All,
    I have an Issue with Implementing Hierarchy Prompts in OBIEE 11g. I understand that Filters on Hierarchy Prompts can be applied in Selection steps and cannot be viewed in the Physical Query as such. However, what happens is, the Hierarchy prompt only gets applied when the hierarchy is displayed in the report.It is not applied even when it is present in the excluded section. So, it works only when it is displayed in the report. Is this correct? Is there any workaround for this?
    Any help on this would be much appreciated
    Regards,
    Venkatesh
    Edited by: obiapps on May 30, 2012 7:42 PM

    If the column set to prompt no matters what (column is present,or not, excluded or hidden) the prompt should work.
    Check it again something might gone wrong.

  • WHERE condition in OBIEE 11g

    HI gurus,
                    How can I use a WHERE condition in obiee 11g in the Column formula or in the BMM layer in the repository .
    Thanks in advance
    Reg,
    Niv

    Hi,
    In the Column formula, the functions like Case When clause (Category: Expressions) can always be used in the building the expression.
    For the above, there is always two options
    1. Derived from Physical Mappings - this will list only the physical tables that are pulled into the LTS of the logical table
    2. Derived from existing columns using an expression - this will list all the Logical tables in the RPD
    If you want to apply the filter i.e where clause on the entire table, then go to Content Tab of the LTS
    Enter your WHERE clause filters in the section - Use this "WHERE clause".....
    The above modifications will apply where clause on all the columns
    Please mark if it is helpful

  • OBIEE 11G - Issue passing parameters between two reports

    Hi folks,
    I am struggling to pass parameters between two reports in OBIEE 11G.
    My first report contains the following columns: Rolling Year Type (VCHAR), Year(VCHAR), Month(VCHAR), Cost(Double).
    My second report contains the following columns: Rolling Year Type(VCHAR), Year(VCHAR), Month(VCHAR), Category(VCHAR), Cost(Double).
    My requirement is to pass the Rolling Year Type, Year and Month values from report 1 to report 2.
    On the Month column properties of report 1, I have created an Action Link called 'Drill to Category'. I have clicked on 'Navigate to BI Content' and selected Report 2.
    Then on Report 2, I have included three filters: Rolling Year Type is prompted, Year is prompted, Month is promted.
    When I run the report I always get the following error:
    The specified criteria didn't result in any data. This is often caused by applying filters and/or selections that are too restrictive or that contain incorrect values. Please check your Analysis Filters and try again. The filters currently being applied are shown below.
    When I check the cursor cache, the filter values are correct. Does anybody have any idea why Report 2 does not display?
    When I remove the Month filter, the report works correctly.
    I have since changed the third filter to be Month No and although Report 2 does display, it does not pick up the filter on the Month No.
    I initially thought this may have been a caching issue and so I have disabled BI Server Cache but this does not fix my problem.
    This was never an issue on OBIEE 10G as I found it very easy to navigate between two requests.
    Has anyone else experienced problems with passing parameters between two request in 11G?
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I once tried this kind of requirement(with dashboard prompts though) and hit at similar issue. I later found out that the problem is with the space in the parameter values. Can you please let me know, if the same is the case with you?
    Suppose the parameter passed is "Jan 2010", but the report on the destination takes the value as "Jan" & "2010". Yes, it kind of split the parameter value to two based on space. I think we can notice the filters the destination report got, by enabling filter view.
    In this case, since you pass only value at a time, could you try placing the parameter value anyway in double quotes? I think the Server then will understand it as one value.
    Thank you,
    Dhar

  • Error bringing up /analytics in OBIEE 11g

    I recently installed OBIEE 11g on Solaris.
    After the installation was completed, I can log into WebLogic Console and Enterprise Manager. I could not open up the <host>:9704/analytics page. All of the services required to start up were started.
    After reviewing the error messages on EM, I noticed the following error messages.
    Error reading object: /shared/Sample Lite/KPIs/Unit Price
    Error reading object: /shared/Sample Lite/KPIs/Sample KPI
    Error reading object: /shared/Sample Lite/KPIs/Revenue KPI

    Hope you have strictly followed the steps mentioned in the document:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e10543/legacy.htm#BABGEHJJ
    Specifically note : Oracle BI Scheduler Server runs Delivers jobs for users without accessing or storing their passwords. Using a process called impersonation, Oracle BI Scheduler uses one user name and password with Oracle Business Intelligence administrative privileges that can act on behalf of other users. Oracle BI Scheduler initiates an Agent by logging on to Oracle BI Presentation Services with the Oracle Business Intelligence administrative name and password.
    For Delivers to work, all database authentication must be performed in only one connection pool, and that connection pool can only be selected in an initialization block for the USER system session variable. This is typically called the Authentication Initialization Block. When impersonation is used, this initialization block is skipped. All other initialization blocks must use connection pools that do not use database authentication.
    Hope this helps.
