Filter Grouping not working for OBIEE 11g

Hello!
I need some help on the below:
I have built a simple report in OBIEE 11g with FILTER grouping on two dimensions as below:
          Operative Hierachy is equal to Europe, IMEA, APAC, China Focus Country, Americas, US and Canada
     and      Accounts is equal to Net Sales (i), Gross Margin (i), GM% (i)
or
          Accounts is equal to Gross Margin, Net Sales, Gross Margin %
     and      Operative Hierachy is equal to / is in Organizations Total
The report was working as expected; but now suddenly it's showing no results with the 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.+" - even though data is present ! - I have tested this by splitting it into two reports (with only the AND conditions)- which is then woking as expected.
Points to note:
--There had been no change on the Report, when it stopped showing results.
--I have tested this filter grouping with other dimensions- & they are working fine.
--The OBIEE reports are fetching data from ESSBASE cube.
--Only thing which I can remember when it stopped working is that, there had been a data load on the ESSBASE cube. But other reports using these dimensions are working.
Has anyone faced the same issue before. Please help.

Hi User, Vijay,
Yes I have checked the generated SQL queries and the MDX queries as well. Both queries are generated as expected, but returns no result.
But now I have found out how these two different dimensions are different from my other dimensions. Only these two dimensions have a SORT order logical column defined in the BMM layer- which I think is causing the problem, BI Server not able decide which column to sort. So, the sql gives result when I cimment out one of the SORTKEY
SELECT
0 s_0,
"PSS Essbase"."Accounts"."Accounts" s_1,
"PSS Essbase"."Operative Hierarchy"."Operative Hierachy" s_2,
-- SORTKEY("PSS Essbase"."Accounts"."Accounts") s_3,
SORTKEY("PSS Essbase"."Operative Hierarchy"."Operative Hierachy") s_4,
"PSS Essbase"."Facts"."Measure" s_5
FROM "PSS Essbase"
WHERE
((("Operative Hierarchy"."Operative Hierachy" = 'Europe') AND ("Accounts"."Accounts" = 'Gross Margin'))
OR (("Operative Hierarchy"."Operative Hierachy" = 'Russia Focus Country') AND ("Accounts"."Accounts" = 'Sales ASP')))
ORDER BY 1, 5 ASC NULLS LAST, 4 ASC NULLS LAST
FETCH FIRST 65001 ROWS ONLY
Any views on what happens when we use two dimensions in the same report which have sort columns defined in the repository...

Is there a way to deny access to BI Publisher -Report job in OBIEE 11g?

Thank you all for the helpful information in the posts. I am trying to disable or not to display Report job under published reporting in OBIEE 11g. Could any one of you you please help me with the steps?
My issue:
I am pretty new to OBIEE and we are using OBIEE 11g when the user clicks on the new drop down, i am trying to disable or turnoff Report job under published reporting for a user group. I tried to find the relevant components for published reporting to deny access to report job under manage privileges but no luck i couldn't find any and i realized that i should be looking into Manage Bi publisher roles and responsibilities but i cannot remove the roles. Please help me with the steps and the options where i need to go and what i should do to not to display the report job. Your help is greatly appreciated, if i am not clear please let me know i will try to rephrase or explain it better
FYI
We are using LDAP for user creation and we have created a new group and created a test user belongs to that group and that user should not see the Report job. When i am seeing the users roles and responsibilities it is also showing me other two roles authenticated user role and BI consumer role for the test user, when i asked the admin guy dealing with LDAP he said he only associated the user with that only new group. Please advice
Thanks,
Ravi

In EM, go to Weblogic Domain, right click on bifoundation_domain and on the Security menu choose Application Policies.
Set Application Stripe to obi and click the blue arrow search button.
Highlight BIConsumer and click Edit.
Under Permissions locate Resource Name oracle.bi.publisher.scheduleReport. Highlight this and click Delete...
Click OK (top right corner).
Now log your user out of OBIEE and back in again, and the option should have disappeared from their New menu.

Report migration in OBIEE 11g

Hi
I am new to OBIEE 11g.
1. I want to migrate report dashboard from DEV instance to UAT instance.
2. I want to share reports to other users.
Kindly someone give me guideline to proceed.
Thanks
Krishna

Check these links.. it is more or less same as in 10g case by case.
You need to select the report/dashboards archive and unarchive using catalog manager.
If your Dev and UAT are already set with groups/roles then you suppose to do online mode so that the security settings will persist during archive and unarchive..

Column Sorting and Rowspanning not working in OBIEE 11g (worked in OBI 10)

Hi all,
i have a report with columns like this:
Customer Nbr. | Customer Name | Salesorder | EBIT | EBIT (Total p. Customer)
In the table view i have a total sum line at customer level.
The column "EBIT (Total p. Customer)" is an Aggregate with Formula (SUM(Invoices.Ebit) BY Customer."Customer Nbr.") which is exactly the same value as in the report sum line (column EBIT).
This Aggregate colum is only for sorting purposes and is hidden in the view.
The business case is:
"We want to see the EBIT per Salesorder for each customer, sorted from worst to best customer.
So i sorted by "EBIT (Total p. Customer)" ascending in criteria tab and adviced answers to show the sum for each customer (column customer nbr.) in the table definition view.
OBIEE 10 behaviour: Answers shows all customers sorted by EBIT (Total p. Customer), i see one line for each salesorder, the customer columns are rowspanned over all salesorder lines and there is exactly on sum line after each customer.
OBIEE 11 behaviour: Answers shows all customers sorted by EBIT (Total p. Customer), i see one line for each salesorder BUT there is one sum line after each salesorder too. So there is no sum at customer level but on salesorder level
Any idea how to solve this?
BTW:
1.) I still tried to place this column as the first (left) column in the report to get the right sorting ... with no success.
2.) Sorting data at BI Server level is NO option since there are some other reports with different sorting requirements
While searching in "Oracle Support" i found document ID: 1371247.1 "OBIEE 11g: How To Apply a Custom Sort in Answers" which says "... The functionality to custom sort in Answers does not currently exist There is an enhancement request for this functionality. For more information, see Bug 13261597 - be able to apply a custom sort in answers ..."

Did you ever get an answer to your question? We are seeing the same issue.

Can't make Flash button work in firefox and safari

I'm creating an Entry Page slideshow here with Flash Cs3 and AS2:
http://vaforestwild.com/
I'd like to be able to click on the whole slideshow (or the "Enter Site" text) to go to another page on the site, which I'm calling "vaforestwild.com/home.html." I've read various tutorials all day and tried many things, but couldn't seem to apply any "on release" action to the "Enter Site" text that would work. I even created an invisible button (putting a keyframe on just the HIT state and deleting it from the UP state), named the instance "invbutton3", and then typed in this action on the first frame and inserted a keyframe at the end of the show:
invbutton3.onRelease=function(){
getURL("http://vaforestwild.com/home.html");
The cursor changes to a hand, but nothing happens when clicking on the show. So I was experimenting with modifying the Object text in the head section of the index file where the slideshow is located and I stumbled on something that made the clickable link work in Internet Explorer, but not in Safari and Firefox. I modified the object text to read like this:
onfocus="MM_goToURL('parent','http://vaforestwild.com/home.html');return document.MM_returnValue"
(Previously, it had http://vaforestwild.com/index.html and would just start the slideshow over if you clicked on it)
Here is the entire <object> text:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" name="slideshow" width="945" height="400" id="slideshow" title="vfwg-slideshow" onfocus="MM_goToURL('parent','http://vaforestwild.com/home.html');return document.MM_returnValue">
                 <param name="movie" value="vfwg-entryshow2.swf" />
                 <param name="quality" value="high" />
     <embed src="vfwg-entryshow2.swf" width="945" height="400" name="slideshow" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
      type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
     </embed>
     </object>
Can you help me do one of two things, either 1) modify the object text so the clickable link will go to that "home" page in all 3 browsers or 2) fix the slideshow action itself so the action script will work on the invisible button.
I hope this isn't too confusing. Thanks in advance for any help!

I should have mentioned that I was unable to use the html file produced by Flash Cs3 in any browser because I get the message "this page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js". I'll be happy to work with it if you think it's best. Here is the uploaded html file followed by the code in the file:

Since the html page didn't work, I tried dragging the swf file into my index page and Dreamweaver automatically produced the "embed object" text that I pasted in my previous email. Incidentally, I was mistaken when I said that text was in the head section. It wasn't, it was in the body. Here's the script code in the head section:
<script type="text/JavaScript">

    </script>
Okay, so now I have produced a test page to work on here:
http://vaforestwild.com/slideshowtest.html
I started over by letting Dreamweaver create the object text again, and here's what I have (script in the head is the same as above) The only change I made is in the size of the width and height, which Dreamweaver thought was 32x32 :
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="945" height="400">

</object>
I believe my problem is most likely related to how I'm applying action to my button in Flash. I find the tutorials somewhat confusing and I am unable to do exactly what the tutorials say, even though the writers specify they are using AS2. I'm going to be continuing to try different things and I'll report back if I am successful. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions based on the information I've provided, I would love to hear them. Thank you!

How the hierarchy works in obiee 11G

Hi All,
Normally in 10g , when we set detail level then it gives data of lowest granularity. but here in 11g i created one dimension in dept table . and took two salary columns of emp and one i set it to total and other as detail .
when i took two columns i did not get data as expected (The way we get in 10g)
How it works in 11g??
Is there any document/blog .. please help.

check this
The Port number is the AdminServer Port Number of the domain. This is where the EM app will be targetted and deployed. If you choose all defaults and have like a Simple Installation of BI Software, then you should have one Server named AdminServer running at default Port: 7001.
To really confirm exactly, open you config.xml file which is under your domain root folder/config/config.xml file. Search for "em.ear" and see to which server it is targetted, generally it will be AdminServer (<target> tag entry). Now from the top search for "AdminServer" in the same file. You should see an entry like shown below. SSL Port is 7002. If you do NOT see <listen-port> tag, it means it is using DEFAULT Port which is 7001. But if you do see this tag, use that port number. Do not get confused with <ssl> port. Every domain have normal and ssl ports and most of the times we use normal port.
<server>
<name>AdminServer</name>
<idle-connection-timeout>1000</idle-connection-timeout>
<period-length>200000</period-length>
<idle-periods-until-timeout>20</idle-periods-until-timeout>
<dgc-idle-periods-until-timeout>21</dgc-idle-periods-until-timeout>
<ssl>
<name>AdminServer</name>
<hostname-verification-ignored>true</hostname-verification-ignored>
<listen-port>7002</listen-port>
</ssl>
<machine>RJEGGA</machine>
<listen-address></listen-address>
<server-diagnostic-config>
<name>AdminServer</name>
<diagnostic-context-enabled>true</diagnostic-context-enabled>
</server-diagnostic-config>
</server>
So, try, http://youradminserverhost:adminserverport/em
NOW, if you get like Page Not Found, or do not see entry from em.ear file in your config.xml file, this means your domain is not having EM app deployed.
How to know the Em url in OBIEE 11g

Parametrized BIP report integration on OBIEE 11g dashboard

HI Experts,
I have created BIP Report using SQL as source for my Dataset in Datamodel.Also, the report is parametrized with date value.
SELECT * FORM EMP
WHERE DEPT_NO=:DEPT_NO
AND HIRE_DATE<=:FROMDATE
AND HIRE_DATE>=:TODATE
DEPTNO : List of value (Select DEPTNO from DEPARTMENTS) and the Parameter is created as Menu type
FROMDATE: List of vale(select day from Date_table) and the parameter is created as Date type
TODATE: List of vale(select day from Date_table) and the parameter is created as Date type.
The Report is working fine in BI Publisher portal.. Now I want to integrate this report onto the dashboard. For, that I have created 3 dashboard prompts (column prompts) and set the values to presentation variables DEPT_NO and FROMDATE and TODATE respectively...
Now when I run my dashboard after choosing all the prompts the report is not getting generated. Instead, it is throwing below error.
oracle.xdo.XDOException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException.
I don't have an idea what is causing this issue and i verified LOG Viewer form Enterprise manager.. But, no use.. I couldn't figure out the issue..
Can any body help me how to resolve this issue..
Regards
Ramarao

Hi Ramarao,
There's many possible reasons why you're getting the error 'oracle.xdo.XDOException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException'. Because it's an XDO error, I'm stewing more towards your template that you're using.
I would propose the following:
print the whole error that you retrieved
Change the SQL script from * to the specific column names and ensuring that maps correctly to your template
Hope this gets the ball rolling and one step closer to resolving the issue
Regards,
Daniel

Function Calendar not working in OBIEE 11G - Analysis

This code works in 10.1.3 but not in OBIEE 11.1.1, Please let me know the correct code.
Error: Query Failed: [nQSError: 22025] Function Calendar Extract is called with an incompatible type
case when "- Calendar"."Year" = YEAR('@{var_date}{2012-11-05}') then 'Current' Else 'Prior' end

Check the data type of the column being used to populate the variable. The Year Function works fine. I suspect the data type is not date. If you don't have date columns in your database and are creating one (ex., using MM, DD, YYYY columns explicitly)then check the default date format in your environment either double click the physical database folder -> features or in your NQSconfig. it should be in date data type.

HT1349 Many times I want to see a particular video, and my iPad will tell me I need flash. From what I have read apple software does not use flash. My question is what app can I purchase for my iPad that will make flash videos work?

Many times, while I am surfing through the Internet a particular web page will have a video, which requires Flash. iPads do not use Flash. So my question is, what app can I get from the app store will help me views these videos?

I did a quick search here and came up with a couple, the better of the two appears to be "Photon Flash Web Browser".
As with any app, read the reviews and decide for yourself. It may or may not work with the sites you need.

Report Links in OBIEE 11g Dashboard not displayed correctly

In the Dashboard pages the Report Links for Export are not displayed correctly .
Instead of showing the multiple options for export/download it shows just text.

It can be done by doing below steps.
1) before doing this take a backup of instanconfig.xml file and do the below changes...
You can configure various options that change the way that right-click interactions are handled in views for an analysis at runtime. The elements in the instanceconfig.xml file specify the default settings for a new or upgraded analysis. You can edit the properties of an analysis in Presentation Services to modify how the analysis handles right-click interactions in views.
Before you begin this procedure, ensure that you are familiar with the information in Section 3.4, "Using a Text Editor to Update Configuration Settings."
To manually configure for interactions in views:
2) C:\Oracle\Middleware\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\instanceconfig.xml
Open the instanceconfig.xml file for editing,
3)
Locate the sections in which you must add the elements
Include the elements and their ancestor elements as appropriate, as shown in the following example:
<ServerInstance>
<Analysis>
<InteractionProperties>
<InteractionPropertyAddRemoveValues>false</InteractionPropertyAddRemoveValues>
<InteractionPropertyCalcItemOperations>false</InteractionPropertyCalcItemOperations>
<InteractionPropertyDrill>false</InteractionPropertyDrill>
<InteractionPropertyGroupOperations>false</InteractionPropertyGroupOperations>
<InteractionPropertyInclExclColumns>false</InteractionPropertyInclExclColumns>
<InteractionPropertyMoveColumns>false</InteractionPropertyMoveColumns>
<InteractionPropertyRunningSum>false</InteractionPropertyRunningSum>
<InteractionPropertyShowHideSubTotal>false</InteractionPropertyShowHideSubTotal>
<InteractionPropertySortColumns>false</InteractionPropertySortColumns>
</InteractionProperties>
</Analysis>
</ServerInstance>
4) Save your changes and close the file.
5)
Restart Oracle Business Intelligence.
Mark as correct if it is helpful :)
Thanks.

Report Navigation in Obiee 11g

Hi All,
I am building a report 'A' using minus and union set operations. I need to navigate to another dashbaord page filtering all reports when a value in a particular column in report 'A' is clicked. The report 'A' appears correctly and when I click on a value it navigates to the other dashboard page, however the reports do not get filtered based on the value that is clicked.
If, however, I just include either only minus operation or only union operation in report 'A' and then I navigate to the other dashboard page all reports are filtered correctly.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue
Thanks,
Nikita

Hi Nikita,
UNION operations (e.g. UNION, UNION ALL, INTERSECT, MINUS) themselves are not passed as values at the filter level. Do your filters correspond to the UNION operations your trying to achieve? Is the 'not equal to...' filter operation a suitable alternative to the MINUS union operation?
Hope this helps,
Justin

Object Level security not working on OBIEE 11g 11.1.1.7

Hi,
I am experiencing problems with object level security applied on application role in 11.1.1.7 version. If i create a user and assign that user to a application role and give that application role permission to Access Answers in Manage previleges, it is not working. If i directly add a user to permission list in Manage previleges section then user is able to access the answers. I added that application role in "Access to Answers" section in Manage previleges section. Permission for Authenticated users is denied.
We recently upgraded from 11.1.1.5 to 11.1.1.7. Please can someone confirm if it a bug in 11.1.1.7 or it is because of the upgrade process.
Regards,
Sandeep

Hello Sandeep,
I have just verified the below scenario as you said but didnt find any issue.
I have just created a User, Group and Applictaion Role under default authentication provider . Assigned user under group and group under newly created application role and provided access to answers for new application role under manage privilages and I am able see it.
This might not be a 11.1.1.7 bug check it from upgrade end.
