KPI supported in OBIEE

Does anybody knows about the list of KPI's that are supported in OBIEE for domains like Sales,Finance,Manufacturing,HR,etc
I tried to find these information from the documents and links but was not succesfull
Looking forward for your help

Assuming you have a local installation running a BI Apps rpd, a nice help is the metadata dictionary. Here's a litte approach to integrating the metadata dictionary into the presentation server
•     Create a metadata dictionary by using Tools -> Utilities -> Generate Metadata Dictionary in the Administration Tool
•     If using oc4j, move the created folder structure (including main folder w/ the repository name)
•     Point the presentation server to the generated metadata dictionary by adding the following tag inside the <ServerInstance> (adjust to your folder if necessary):
<SubjectAreaMetadata>
<DictionaryURLPrefix>/analytics/</DictionaryURLPrefix>
</SubjectAreaMetadata>
•     Restart the server
Other than that, you can run Tools -> Utilities -> Repository Documentation, but personally I prefer the dictionary, since I can see it nicely in Answers.

Does OBI Apps 7.9.5 is supported in OBIEE 11.1.1.3

Hi All
i just want to know whether OBI Apps 7.9.5 version is supported on OBIEE 11g. It is supporting 7.9.6.x though not fully. But want to know what is the case with 7.9.5. Please guide if anyone have any answer.
Thanks

Hi
Please refer OBI Apps 7.9.6 System Requirement and Supported Platform Document. It clearly mentions OBI Apps 7.9.6.x is supported on OBIEE 11g. Its also you can find in OBIEE 11.1.1.3 certificates.

Error while running a KPI Watchlist in obiee 11g dashboard

I am getting the following error while running a KPI Watchlist :
*" Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW) "*
I added two KPI's (KPI 1 & KPI 2)into that Watchlist , one from the default "Sample Sales Lite" (sub 1) and another from sub 2 which have essbase as data source .
KPI 1 (created from sub 1) is working fine , but while placing KPI 2 (created from sub 2 ) in the watchlist , its throwing the above error . However , while running KPI 2 individually , its showing meaningful results .
Let me know if the problem statement is not clear .
OBIEE version used : 11.1.1.5.0 .

Could anyone reply this thread. I am also getting the same error . Even server logs are also not helping.

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

BFILE or BLOB Support in OBIEE?

Hi Experts,
I want to display list of files, which are located in a server directory, as hyperlinks in OBIEE report or dashboard.
I created a sample table with BFILE and BLOB data types and imported in Administration and created sample report to access BFILE and/or BLOB presentation column. But I'm getting below error message whenever I select above objects.
View Display Error

Unfortunately there is no way to simply reference the word or excel file through OBIEE unless they are stored on a sharedpoint server link or some thing.
The only way you can reference them is through an URL and as you mentioned your files are not stored in an URL but in a path location.
Ok we have couple of options now
1. I dont know if you can add that document in shared point(some thing similar) and reference the URL. In an organisation they will have some way of storing the documents on a web server and all the users will have access to it. That is an easy way of doing it. If thats not the case lets go to option 2
2. Convert the word document that have all the list of files that you need to show into a jpeg image and then you can simply call the image using fmap. you can simply save the file under the obiee images
C:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res
3. Convert the file into html as i mentioned earlier and simply reference the whole report through static view of the report and that will take care of it as well. Also you can display the report path as a hyperlink. so that will satisfy your requirement as well
Hope it helps
Thanks

Multilingual Data Support in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have followed the oracle document http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10541/deploylocal.htm#CHDDHIGE to get multilanguage data.When try to check the GLobal Consitency check we are getting below error
ERRORS:
BUSINESS MODEL SCOTT:
*[nQSError: 23019] The number of operands in lookup function does not match the number of lookup key columns.*
*[nQSError: 23013] An error occurred when extracting the metadata definition for the Attribute '"SCOTT"."LKP_TABLE"."TRANS"*'.
We are using the TRANS value=
'INDEXCOL( VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.LAN_INT), "SCOTT"."DEPT"."DEPARTMENTNAME" , LOOKUP( DENSE "SCOTT"."LKP_TABLE"."DEPARTMENTNAME" , "SCOTT"."DEPT"."DEPATMENTNUMBER" , VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.WEBLANGUAGE)))
Please help me to resolve the issue.
Thanks

Hey Dude,
This looks like a syntactical issue. In your code snippet it looks like you have forgotten the comma (,) after the first argument for the lookup function DENSE
'INDEXCOL( VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.LAN_INT), "SCOTT"."DEPT"."DEPARTMENTNAME" , LOOKUP( DENSE "SCOTT"."LKP_TABLE"."DEPARTMENTNAME" , "SCOTT"."DEPT"."DEPATMENTNUMBER" , VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.WEBLANGUAGE)))
It should be
'INDEXCOL( VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.LAN_INT), "SCOTT"."DEPT"."DEPARTMENTNAME" , LOOKUP( DENSE, "SCOTT"."LKP_TABLE"."DEPARTMENTNAME" , "SCOTT"."DEPT"."DEPATMENTNUMBER" , VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.WEBLANGUAGE)))
Try that and see if it helps. I would also revisit the syntax structure for the lookup when using DENSE just to ensure you are on the safe side but that should solve your problem.
Please award points if this was the correct answer or mark it helpful if it was.
This also looks like a double post so I'll stick with this one for the forum thread.
Cheers,
Christian

OBIEE support a Postgres DB as DataSource?

Hello,
We are setting up a reporting projet based on OBIEE 11g solution.
Our want to use a PostgreSQL 9.0 DB as a data source instead of an Oracle DB...
Before to start the developement phase we want to check if PostgreSQL is supported by OBIEE(for example in case of an incident can we rely on the client support option bought by the user).
In the documentation we read that we can use a ODBC connector to connect to any database, but in another document we didn't find Postgres among the database data source supported by OBIEE (DB2,MS SQLserver...)
Kind regards
Edited by: 950686 on 3 août 2012 01:21

Tnanks for answering,
I have checked it!!!! but the answer wasn't so clear; in fact we use an ODBC connector to connect to a postgres DB source to feed our report, in this matrix we find two page that dont see the same thing:
Section name: ERP-Apps and Other Datasources/Table: Other DataSource from Oracle===>in this onglet we see that with ODBC we can connect to any database source......
Section name : Non-Oracle DB Certification ===> the postgres don't appear in the supported database source like DB2,MS SQL server...
So we are very confused our need is just to use a database like postgres to home our reporting data source?
Other Comments:
We precise that in the installation steps we have used a Oracle DB schema to home the OBIEE technical schemas(Prerequisite in the installation steps), the next step is to build reports so for that we need to plug into a Postgres DB with an ODBC connector to develope and feed our reports.

Regarding KPI's and KPI Watchlist

Hi,
We are planing to implement KPI and KPI Watchlist with OBIEE 11g. Does anyone have any clue as to whether it is a seprately licensed product or it comes standard with 11g.
If it is seprately licensed, how much is the license for?
Thanks

Hi,

Converting Decode function in OBIEE

Hi Guru's
we are converting some BO reports to OBIEE and need to convert Decode function
Below is the Decode function they are using:
Decode ( sign(nvl(BOOKINGS_DATA_UDTC.qty_shipped,0)), 0,decode(BOOKINGS_DATA_UDTC.DELIVERY_NUMBER, 0,decode(BOOKINGS_DATA_UDTC.Schd_Ship_date_fk,to_date('1/1/1990','mm/dd/yyyy'),'Next Month Backlog',decode(sign(nvl(BOOKINGS_DATA_UDTC.Schd_Ship_date_fk, '01-JAN-90') -PAR.PAR_DATE), 1, 'Next Month Backlog', 'Current month will ship')) ,'Awaiting for collection') ,'MTD Shipped')
i have tried converting into case :
case when sign(IFNULL("BOOKINGS_DATA_UDTC"."Qty Shipped",0)) = 0 then (case when "BOOKINGS_DATA_UDTC"."Delivery Number" = 0 then (case when "BOOKINGS_DATA_UDTC"."SCHD_SHIP_DATE_FK" = '01-JAN-1990' then 'Next Month Backlog' else (case when Timestampdiff(SQL_TSI_DAY, cast('@{ParDate}{28-DEC-2012}' as Date),(case when "BOOKINGS_DATA_UDTC"."SCHD_SHIP_DATE_FK" IS NULL then CAst('01-JAN-1990' as DATE) else "BOOKINGS_DATA_UDTC"."SCHD_SHIP_DATE_FK" end)) > 1 then 'Next Month Backlog' else 'Current Month Will Ship' end) end) else 'Awaiting For Collection' end) else 'MTD Shipped' end
But it is not workign as expected.
Can some one please help me with this.

Hi,
Please double check your looback adaptor configuration
The issue has been identified as that for some reason there is a hardcoded machine name mistakenly placed in the Solaris version of OBIEE, which is being sent out to be resolved by DNS. This machine name is an internal oracle machine, and so DNS can not find it.
This has been reported as the following bugs:
Bug 12804924 - OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 INSTALLATION FAILS IN CONFIG PHASE WHEN STARTING COMPONENTS
Bug 12790815 - AFTER WHAT APPEARS TO BE A GOOD INSTALL CANNOT RESTART ANY OBIEE SERVICES
Solution:
As a workaround, Add the following entry to the end of your hosts file with a dummy IP address (e.g. 127.0.0.1) and then reboot:
127.0.0.1 stafas12.us.oracle.com stafas12
This should prevent timeout while checking DNS to resolve that non-existing address.

Using OBIEE 11g for 10 minutes...not liking it (at all)...slew of bugs

I don't mean to rant, but I've been a huge supporter of OBIEE 10g for years now. I've finally got 11g installed on my laptop, and I've spent 5 minutes playing with straight forward answers stuff, and I've already hit two or three "showstopper" issues, and 2 or three "really annoying" items:
1. I go in to Answers (Sample sales), choose "P1 Product" and then go to the Results tab. As expected, I see a list of products. So then I go back to the Criteria tab, and add in "P2 Product Type", "P3 LOB", and "P4 Brand". Navigate back to the Results tab...and it's showing exactly the same 1 column of products as before. Hit the refresh button just in case...and that doesn't help either. Is this a bug? Or is there some magic other than just switching between criteria and results tabs to see the "new" results???
2. Trying to figure out what SQL is going on in #1, I click on the administration link. But instead of popping up a new window and leaving my original analysis alone, it navigates me to the admin page. When I try to go back to the analysis using back arrow, everything has been erased...so I've lost it. Also, the "Administration" link doesn't allow me to "Open in new browser window". Am I completely insane, or has this functionality been totally ruined?
3. In the criteria tab, items used to have a filter icon, formula icon, sort icon, etc. directly on their tiles. Now I have to hit the little dropdown and pick from a list. 1) this hides functionality from users, 2) this adds extra mouse clicks and slows things down with little if any apparent benefit. Is there a reason this was done?
4. In the criteria tab, if I have two dimensions with several attributes, I used to be able to re-sort the dimensions in front of each other by dragging and dropping the dimension name (upper part of tile) instead of each individual dimension attribute. Looks like this completely doesn't work in 11g. Bug?
I'm hoping my experience improves (quickly)...because this is really really poor. To find this much stuff in less than 10 minutes is really disappointing. New functionality might be great...but if I can't even get basic queries to show results properly, this is useless. Can someone please confirm if these are bugs and/or if I'm not doing something right?
Thanks,
Scott

Just to update item #1, if I add all four columns at the start in the criteria tab, I can then "remove" any of them and they get removed from the results. But if I go to add them back in, again they are not showing up in the results.
Two other dumb questions:
1. Anyone hear info on when 11.1.1.4 will be out?
2. There are like 30+ patches already on support.oracle.com for 11.1.1.3. Do I have to patch all of them?
3. Will the patches address the issues I'm seeing?
Thanks, sorry for the rant, quite frustrated.
Scott
