Limitation Of download Reprots in OBIEE 10g

Hi All,
My requirment is client needs to download report which excel or .csv.
I have a one report in OBI 10g, contain 3 million records. I add some xml tags like maxdownloadrecords in instanceconfig.xml.
I am not able to download all records in one file. pls any one help me.
Advance tanks.
Thanks,
Raja

Increasing your max download is server wide so you may have performance issues.
Oracle suggest either creating BI Publisher report and link it to your OBIEE report or
user Excel OBIEE connection and access your report through Excel.
Have to say did not yet have a chance to try either one of these options.
Let us know :)

Issue with PDF displaying ' (apostrophe) symbol in OBIEE 10g

Our report/dashboard bears some special characters like *'* *(apostrophe)* and they get displayed fine in normal view of OBIEE 10g. But if the same report is exported as PDF output the characters are being displayed into equivalent ASCII code For eg: *'* *(apostrophe)* is displayed as *&#39*. Is this a known bug in OBIEE 10g or is there a workaround/patch available for the same?

Hi ,
Are you using 10.1.3.4.1 .
I think 10.1.3.4.2 is more stable version for 10g and below issues are corrected in this :
Master Note For Print/Download issues In OBIEE 10g [ID 1206791.1]
Blank Page or Errors When Printing to PDF. [ID 1086844.1]
OBIEE 10.1.3.2 PDF Print Does Not Respect Defined Column Widths [ID 544941.1]
.... so just a update may help.
Thanks

Filter on the reports created using DIRECT DATABASE ACCESS in obiee 10g

How do i filter on the report that is created by using DIRECT DATABASE ACCESS in obiee 10g?
I have reprot A with link to report B, report B is created using DIRECT DATABASE ACCESS. so it is just a table, but i need to filter out 2 columns.
here is the query in REPORT B:
select strm, acad_group, crse_id, class_section, count(emplid) from v_crse_enrl
group by crse_id, strm, class_section, acad_group;
the link in REPORT A:
'<a target="_blank" href="'||VALUEOF("bi_link")||'Go&Path=CF_CROSS_TEACHING_LIST&ACTION=Navigate&col1=STRM&val1='||view1_DIMEN.STRM||'&col2=CLASS_SECTION&val2='||TRIM(view1_DIMEN.CLASS_SECTION)||'">' ||view1_dimen.class_id||'</a>'
from this link to report B.
thank you!!

I didnt tested using url, but the same works with using presentation variables.
To your direct sql add where clause for those two columns like WHERE col='@{col1}' and col ='@{col2}'
and try to run from url.
let me know updates

Switch Section in a dashboard based on the selection of Prompts (OBIEE 10G)

Hi All,
I have a requirement : I have to switch Section in a dashboard based on the selection of Prompts (OBIEE 10G).
Lets say I have 1 report in section1 and another report in section2 of a dashboard. I have a dashboard prompt,now say when the user does not select any value in a prompt I have to show section1 and when he selects values in a prompt then I have to show section2 of the dashboard. I tries this using Guided Navigation Link and presentation variable but there is a limitation that I have to select only one value in the prompt as i have created presentation variable.
But the client wants the prompt as Multi Select. in this case I can 't use the presentation variable.
How can I fulfil this requirement.Please let me know.
Thanks,
Krishna

How you create your multiselect prompt? Is it based on a column? Using multiselect prompt you'll get an issue in this case. The prompt behavior with choosing all values and choosing nothing is equivalent. But your requirement has different behavior lines.

Pdf download in bi publsiher 10g

Hi All,
We are using OBIEE 10g. We are placing bi publisher reports on dashboard. When we click on the report link on dashboard, we need to get direct download option for the publisher report in pdf format instead of viewing it in pdf format, like we get in excel format.
For Example: If we select excel and select Auto Run option and click on the report link in dashboard, it will directly give option to download the report with default parameters, similarly we need the direct download option for pdf format also. How to get it it for pdf..??
Thanks.

Hi ,

Compound layout in View selector possible in OBIEE 10g but not in OBIEE 11

Hi!
I am Claire. I have created 3 compound layout and I wanted it to be included in my view selector. I noticed that I is not possible in BI 11g but was previously possible in Bi 10G. Kindly help me on this matter. The compound layout is not appearing in the available views in the EDIT VIEW selector Page.
Your Prompt response on this matter is highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Claire

Claire,
This is no longer possible. And actually in OBIEE 10g it was only possible in the Original Compound layout. Meaning that if you created compound layout #2 you could not leverage "Compound Layout" (the original / default one) inside of a view selector or as a view inside "Compound Layout #2".
If you look at the OBI 10g documentation you will see that it states that a Compound Layout is a "view" which can contain other views.
In the OBI 11g documentation it states that the Compound Layout is a container.

This new nomenclature and definition is the delineating factor and the reason you can no longer achieve that functionality in the same way you did in 10g
I hope that helps.

OBIEE 10g - Ragged & Skip Level Hierarchy

Hi Frnds,
I'm aware of the fact that OBIEE 11g supports Ragged & Skip Level Hierarchy. But I'm looking for some heads up while implementing the same on OBIEE 10g using Oracle DB as source. I have done this before for Essbase Data Source but now waiting for my Oracle dataset for design.
Has anyone actually implemented in Real Time Project? Pls share your challenges like:
- Dimensional Hierarchies Challenges
- Drill Down Challenges
- Report Challenges
Thanks,
Deepak
Edited by: Deepak Gupta on Aug 11, 2011 5:18 AM

Deepak,
10g does not handle the idea of Skip hierarchies and the ragged hierarchies definitely has its limitations.
We've implemented several projects using Essbase and SAP BW for Oracle BI 10g. The biggest issue is that in Answers creates a new column for each drill down selection when attempting to navigate down a hierarchy. Though this is klugy it does work and provides the data the user is looking for. It is however, not aesthetically please when compared to other tools or now Oracle BI 11g which satisfies this issue with a native drill-down tree folder structure.
My opinion and advice would be to upgrade to 11g as soon as possible to enjoy these new features.

Prerequisites for installing OBIEE 10g in AIX

Hi
I need the prerequisites for installing OBIEE 10g in AIX.

Scripts? Oracle installation has intuitive GUI installation. You just need to do some required action before launch of installation. These steps you can find on official documentation http://tahiti.oracle.com or some public papers.
Anyway there was installation script that prepared the system for Oracle install. It was called DORIS (made by Howard J. Rogers) but AFAIK it is not downloadable anymore.

Error in reports after upgrade from OBIEE 10g to 11g : [nQSError: 14025]

Hi All, We upgraded RPD and web catalog from OBIEE 10g to 11.1.1.5. I see the following error while running few reports.
Error: State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A
general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.
[nQSError: 14025] No fact table exists at the requested level of detail:
When I add an user under BIAdministrator Application role and login, all the reports work correctly.
I verified Oracle BUG fix (11850704) document and tried to make changes as suggested.
Please suggest me if this issue is related to 10g to 11g RPD upgrade or are we missing any privileges?
Also should I add every user to BIAdministrator role to avoid this issue?
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
First of all i am not familiar on linux box.
I tried in windows environment the rpd is deployed with out any errors.
But i ran the ua.bat file in the following path
\MWHOME\Oracle_BI1\bin\ua.bat.

Please Mark if it helpful.

OBIEE 10G SSO Issue

HI
We have configured OBIEE 10g on IIS (ver-6) server. We have a business requirement where we need to integrate OBIEE with another ASP.NET application. So, user should log in once and to view OBIEE reports he should not log in again.
Now we have checked GO URL option given in Chapter 11 of Oracle® Business Intelligence Presentation Services Administration Guide. But problem is our company policy does not allow us to pass Password in HTTP URL. So we cannot use that solution.
We are trying to use SSO and referred to Chapter 8 of Deployment Guide. We followed all the steps give in that chapter
Also, we modified isapiconfig.xml and entered <CredentialStore> paramaters in it.
But when we Go to Analytics URL (for remote machine) Login screen show "Not Logged In" message.
currently we are using REMOTE_USER method as it is given in documention.
So we did everything by the book. Now my question is:
1) We do not have any SSO server/Product, is there is any way we can integrate OBIEE application to other ASP.Net application on another IIS SERVER? There was a suggestion that if we pass remoter_user parameter in HTTP header, is it possible to work this way.
2) Is it possible that if we host both the ASP.NET and OBIEE 10g on SAME IIS server there is way to integrate them using SSO without any SSO server again by passing remote_user HTTP header
3) What options do we have to integrate ASP.NET application and OBIEE without using SSO server itself and without using GO url method as we cannot pass password in header. Will Cookie Enabling Method can work in this scenerio.
4) Is there is way that OBIEE directly take windows ID without SSO server, I know question might sound stupid as in prerequisite i read that we need “SSO system of Choice” but we need to be absolutely sure about our option and possibilities.
we also reffered to following thread:
10g - how to configure sso with iis-
But, this one seems to be unresolved So kindly help
Regards
Saurabh

Hi Praveen,
Thanks for your response. I was doing a bit of R&D on SOAP API, tell me if i am wrong.
In case we use SOAP API to Authenticate then we will get Response in terms of XML and we have to write our own code to render it in tables or charts.
We dont want that we just want to automate the Authentication part and want to use OBIEE use Interactive Dashboards. Kindly suggest if I am wrong and if we just write a piece of Code to get the Authentication done and it will not affect the further use of OBIEE.
Regards
Saurabh

EPMMaster.rpd Fusion Pack migration from OBIEE 10g to 11g

We have successfully installed OBIEE 10g and 11g on Windows 2008 32bit servers. On the 10g Installation, we have applied the Fusion Pack EPMMaster RPD file and it connects successfully to our EPM warehouse. We want to migrate the Fusion pack to 11g which is also setup on the same platform. Per the instructions in the documentation, we have copied the files (RPD file and Webcat folder) to the 11g server. We run the UA.bat file and it proceeds to start copying the files over fom the RPD and WebCatalog to the new system. It completes this process, but then hangs on starting the Oracle BI server - it never gets beyond that.
We will be purchasing the EPMMaster RPD and know it is not available yet for 11g – however we’re trying to get ahead of the curve a bit and manually fix the items in the presentation layer that will not render correctly in 11g
upgrade exception occurred
Unable to start process: instance1: coreapplication_obis1
One thing that I noticed – Since the UA tool does not completely finish --
RPD size on 10g – 42,675KB; 11g – 6,375KB
I manually change the webcat in Enterprise Manager to the EPMMaster catalog -this actually caused additional errors on restart.
Has anyone attempted upgrading a delivered RPD to 11g?
Thanks in advance -

This is a known issue that we have worked through with Oracle tech support. The Dimension Deduction.Deduction Sid causes an error that prevents the UA tool from completing the upgrade process. There are a couple of ways around this, but the fastest is to simply delete the Dimension, the two related hierarchies and the fact table that is joined to this dimension. Physical table do not need to be touched however. There are still issues once it’s moved to 11g, but those can be addressed post migration. Thanks much to the Oracle support team for helping us out with this issue!

Challenges while Upgrading from OBIEE 10g to 11g

Hi Gurus,
This is Kiran again. This time I am back with the upgradation issues. We have a client which is currently on OBIEE 10g. All components are already configured in OBIEE 10g with client on RPD, Catalog and implemented all security levels for those.
Now the challenge is to upgrade all activities which we have configured in OBIEE 10g. I have seen lot of stuff online and understood how to upgrade from OBIEE 10g to OBIEE 11g by simply clicking on ua.bat file. But I am unable to understand the process how it is upgrading the securities and environments.
Can anyone help me out by providing necessary stuff I need to take care of before taking the decision to upgrade from OBIEE 10g to 11g.
And also please clear me whether we will have any challenges in upgrading process. If yes, then what kind of challenges we will face and what kind of necessary steps we need to implement to resolve it.
What kind of Architecture we need to follow?
How Schedulers will get upgraded?
Please help me out with your real experiences (Not the online websites). Your response will be highly appreciated and it will help lot of OBIEE professionals who are in the process of upgradation.
Thanks in Advance to all OBIEE GURUS.
Kiran
