M:1 or M:M subject areas - Custom Object 01~03 and Activities

Please let me know when will be possible associated Custom Object 01~03 with Activities.
Is it possible in COD R17?

Thank you for your reply.
It may be seen as if all subject areas - Custom Object 01~03 and Activities - are associated with M:1 or M:M Relationship.
But after trying to analyse by COD BI Answer, I found it is 1:1 relationship not M:1 or M:M Relationship
In Oracle CRM On Demand Release 16 Transfer of Information New Custom Objects Analytics Functional Overview,
"M:1 or M:M subject areas, such as CO1 and Opportunities, are simpler to use, but require specific subject areas for each M:M association.
We only have subject areas to cover the association with Account, Contact, Opportunity, and SRs.
But we have customers who need the association to other objects, such Activities, etc…"
Please tell me about your method or knowhow. In below, It is a thing that I want.
- Objective
1. I use Custom Object 01 for Comment under the Calendar(Activity) Screen
2. I want to manage Comment that are made by Manager after closing Sales Activity
3. But, I can't manage Comment history in Calendar(Activity) Details because it is remained Last Comment in Details
4. So, I use Custom Object 01 for Comment
- Problem & Question
1. I can manage Comment history under Calendar(Activity) Screen
2. But, I can't make Report Comment Report related with Account, Contact
3. So, I want to know
a. Are there no relationship Custom Object 01(Comment) with Account, Contact in Calendar(Activity) Screen
b. If I have to make Comment Report related with Account, Contact, how to make it?

How to build a report in Oracle CRM On Demand using the Shared Activities subject area to show only 5 recent activities?

I’m trying to use the Rank function in a report and I’m having issues getting it to work. I’m using the Shared Activities subject area and would like to rank activities by Contact. Since there are multiple activity association to the users (attendees), I’m not getting the correct ranking order. Here is what I tried so far…
RANK(Activity."Task Due Date" By Contact."Contact ID")
RANK(Activity."Task Due Date" By Contact."Contact ID", Activity."Activity ID")
RANK(Activity."Task Due Date" By Contact."Contact ID", Employee."Employee ID")
I don’t mind getting the same values for the same dates but the increment should be in sequence. What I’m getting is 1,1,3,3,5,6,6… I want to show only 5 recent activities and so need the sequence of 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4… If not date, what else is there to make it unique? I tried to rank it by Contact Id, Activity Id, Emp Id, etc. Nothing works!
I have tried other functions like RCOUNT, TopN, BottomN, ect. with no luck.

Hi Max
Our requirement is to see all the activities for a server in a month ONLY IF there are activities on DIFFERENT dates. So using my example, server2 has activties on 7/1 and 7/14. Then we want to see all the activities for server2 in that month. Server3 has two activities but both activities are on the same date. So we don't want to see server3.
Counting by server will not work because that will include server3 in my example.
What I really want is to be able to count unique occurrences of dates per server in a month. And if this count is > 1, then this server will be in the report.
I used a pivot table to count the unique occurrences of dates by server by month. So using my example, I have this result:
Server1-July: 1
Server2-July: 2
Server3-July 1
What I really want (conceptually) is to be able to filter this pivot table by the matrix column which is the count. I just couldn't figure out how to do that :). Then I thought I could use this report (with pivot table result) as a filter into another report.
Hope you have some idea....:)
Thanks

Historical Reporting With Multiple Subject Areas

Hi All,
I am working on to decide the best way to create repository. I do have a requirement from my client that they need to see both Current and Historical Reporting via OBIEE. I am keeping Type 2 SCD. My model consists of about 30 fact tables - each of them represents a business process/event.
Following are my options:
1) One Subejct Area to keep current/historical reporting. Here the joins would be based on PK/FK relationships with Effective Start and Effective End dates. There is a flag in all tables to find the most updated record. Users can use the flag to find the most updated record or use Effective Start and Effective End dates to go point in time.
2) Create two Subject Areas - Current and Historical reporting. Current one will include the flag logic to get the most updated record in RPD
3) Create multiple Subject Areas for each Fact table and use Combining Multiple Subject Area approach to join Subject Areas. Additionally, create one Subject Area for Historical Reporting (that will have all the tables in one SA)
I am thinking of going ahead with option 3) This will have Subject Areas for all logical facts (for Current reporting) and one Subject Area for Historical reporting.
Is this a standard design? Any inputs?

You should try both Complex folders as well as custom folders and see which gives you better performance. Discoverer SQL optimizations for example apply only on Complex folders and not on simple folders.
If you define the joins between the two tables, you can still use items from them in your Discoverer report without having to create a complex folder on them.
And finally, you can always create a view or materialized view and use that MV in your Discoverer query.

How to take a non metrics column from one fact to different subject area details level?

I have a requirement in OBIEE ,
I have two fact tables W_AP_INV_DIST_F and W_PURCH_COST_F. In my subject area I am using all facts from W_AP_INV_DIST_F table, But I need one more column as per client's requirement. I searched the column RELEASE_NUM found it in W_PURCH_COST_F. So I have to pull RELEASE_NUM into my subject area, which is having W_AP_INV_DIST_F and couple of dimensions.
I have tried directly pull this column FROM W_PURCH_COST_F (physical layer), and dragged it into one dimension "Dim-AP_INVOICE_Details", here already a LTS "Fact_W_AP_INV_DIST_F" available. In Presentation layer I need to use "RELEASE_NUM" in "Invoice Details" presentation table.
I have doubt weather it will work or not, Will it give correct data at granular level ?
Could you please suggest me is there any way to achieve it in OBIEE level ,without any difficulty? Or else I have to go for ETL Changes?
Regards,
Sonu

User can see the subject are but nothing under the subject area.

Hi
I have OBIEE 11g.
I was thinking this is a very simple case where I have one subject area for which I want to create a user such that it can create analysis and reports on that subject area.
I BIAdmin can do that currently.
So I created a new user in console. Under the 'Groups' tab of this user, I choose 'BIAuthors' from the 'Parents Group Available'.
Then I logged in as this user. User was able to see the subject area but only the header. When it clicks on the expand ( + icon in tree) it expands to nothing.
So i logged into the rpd and Under Identity -Manage , and open the properties for BIAuthor. and under Permissions , I gave BIAuthor the permission to the subject area.
That did not help.
I also opened the subject area from the presentation layer and under permission I made sure that "Everone" has Read access.
But even after a bounce the user just sees the header and it expands to nothing,
Any suggestion.
(I was also thinking that why do I see BIAuthors in weblogic where as BIAuthor in rpd (without s ). I was thinking the rpd BIAuthor is something from 10g version.
Thanks for all the help.

Hi,
Better to decline the subfolder permissions from the user @answers,then user can only see the subject area but he can't access the subfolders...
mark if helpful/correct...
thanks,

How to limit data for a dimension in any subject area?

Hi folks,
I do have a little problem, maybe you can help me:
I have a large subject area for all my countries and product i sell there.
now i want to have special subject areas for certain countries.
that for i ducplucated my large subject area, went to the identity manager and there I set special Rights für the users: I chose my fact measure and put a data filter for it on the dimension country.countryname = Germany.
I hope you can fallow me until here. ;-)
Now I can build a query in answers and it works, within this subject area I only get data for Germany.
BUT: when I'm on the criteria tab and try to create a filter on my countryname (from the dimension) it shows me all the countries I have.
I think for the end users this is a litte bit confusing.
So how do I limit the dimension in this subject area to a particular value?
I would be very happy for help, cause then I could finish my development for today ;-)
Kind regards,
Sven

Try this; @BMM Fact source properties->Content tab->WHERE clause section add the dimension country.countryname = 'Germany'.
Also set the implicit fact on the subject area.
Let us know how it works

Handling Reports if subject area is changed

Hi,
We are using OBIEE 11g. We developed around 30 reports and around 50 prompts but problem is the Subject Area we used is now INVAID because its Re-Named.
My Question is what is the fastest way to link the reports and prompts to new subject area assuming all the table and column names will be same.
Thanks

You can create aliases for the subject area to reflect the same name used prior to the change. In order to do that follow the steps below:
1) Open the RPD.
2) Double click on the subject area which was renamed and navigate to the aliases tab.
3) Click on New Icon and type the subject area name prior to the change.
Thanks,
-Amith.

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

Dependency between reports and subject area

Hi,
We are using OBIEE 10.1.3.3.
I would like to find out all the reports in a catalog which are dependent on a specific Subject Area.
Is there a way to quickly determine that ? Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi
In the newer versions you can use an option in the catalog manager 'Create Report' which will extract Report Name, Subject area, etc....and puts in a csv file which will meet your purpose. I am not sure if this feature is available in x.3.3

How can I disable a Custom Object Test?

I wonder if there is a way to disable a Custom Object Test. When I do a right click I don't see the option as in the other items under the frame node. I don't want to delete them because I may use them as reference in the future. So far I've been saving the file with a different name in order to preserve them, but, I don't want to have too many unused files around.

In order to disable a Custom Object Test right click on the Custom Object Test node and select "Script VBA Properties...". In the window that is opened uncheck "e-Tester" if you want to disable it when playing back in eTester for regression testing. The other two checkboxes are to disable the execution of the Custom Object Test when running the script in eLoad.

Reporting of actual turnover against the budget, via custom objects 4-15

Is there an solution of reporting metric data between the Opportunity object and custom objects 4-15 ? The forecast module gives us not the desired results, therefore we are using custom objects, but we run into problems trying to get custom object metric data and opportunity metric data in one report.

Hi, Yes, it is weird but that is how it is. May be fixed in next release. To hide the column, choose column properties -> column format tab -> Click the field "Hide this column"

Can we create custom objects in WebI 4.0 BICS connectivity in BI 4.0 ?

Hi All,
I am using BI 4.0 and would like to know if we can create custom objects(measures or dimensions) in WebI 4.0 using the BICS connectivity with SAP BW BEx Queries?
Rohit

Hi,
No, I'm afraid that's not possible with the BICS 'transient universe' (because you cannot edit the BW OLAP business layer in IDT)
Sure - in XI3.1, SAP Integration Kit, OLAP .unv universes, it was possible to do custom objects with MDX and XML tags.
Infact, the UDT is still available in BI 4.0

Inventory Management using Custom Object 07

Hi Guys,
I have been trying to use custom object 07 as Inventory.
I have renamed custom object 07 as Inventory. I have verified that already a relationship exists between this custom object and Products. So, I modified the Inventory Page Layout to make the products related information section visible. I have created access profiles and role appropriately. I was able to see the products related information section in the Inventory detail page but I didn't see any means of associating records with the inventory like buttons.
Did I miss any step? Also could you point me to documentation related to custom objects?
Thanks and Regards
Naren B

Hi Bobb. Thanks for the reply.
My requirement doesn't require any reports to be developed. So, I didn't think about it. I tried to use custom object 7 for as Inventory. So, i just renamed Custom object 7 as Inventory. Already there is a relationship existing between custom object 7 and products. So, I went to the related information layout of Inventory(CO-7) and used the standard information layout provided for products. But, I didn't find any buttons to associate a product in the related information section under inventory. My main requirement is to manage inventory transactions. When a shipment is receiving the available quantity and the quality of the product have to be changed accordingly and so on. Currently I am using custom objects 1,2 and 3 for this purpose and i was able to achieve the requirement. Don't know what was wrong. May be the button was disabled purposefully. I will check it out and i will let you know. Can you explain in brief in two to three steps the procedure you followed ?
Thanks and Regards

Custom Object Definitions

Hello all,
Is it possible to export / import the definition of a custom object? We want to create a custom object definition locally and then distribute it to customers so that they have a custom object with the same exact definition.
Thank you,
-Kevin

Thanks bobb.
Let me just clarify my question about "creating" custom objects through web services. I'm not talking about INSERT of a new row into a custom object definition, i'm talking about basically taking CustomObject13 (for example) and through web services, change it's schema to what i need by creating custom fields on it, etc... so basically creating the definition / schema of a custom object through web services.
