MDX Generation Issues (using Evaluate) in OBIEE Analysis Report

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to use Evaluate function in MDX (on a OBIEE 11g Analysis report) to restrict the number of values that i am pulling from the Essbase cube. The MDX Evaluate syntax looks something like this
EVALUATE('TOPCOUNT(%1.members,100,([Dimension1],[Dimension2],[Dimension3],[Dimension4]))',"Accounts"."Gen10,Accounts")
EVALUATE('TOPCOUNT(%1.members,100,([Dimension1],[Dimension2],[Dimension3],[Dimension4]))',"Products"."Gen10,Products")
I am putting the above evaluate formula in the "selected columns" on the OBIEE Analysis report. So i am pulling accounts, products and the measure from the essbase cube.
However I am getting the following error when the analysis report is run
Query Status: Aggr Essbase Error: *Repeated dimension [Accounts] in MDX query*
Do we need any configuration changes/ settings on the RPD model to ensure we dont get this error?
Regards
Aby

Hi veeravalli,
Thank you for you reply. I got it.
However, any idea to solve the issue?
I tried to do it in RPD by case when,
e.g. Acutal Sales: case when scenario='Actual' then salesamount end
Budget Sales: case when scenario='Budget' then salesamount end
Actual/Budget%: (Actual Sales/Budget Sales) *100
So there is no error, Actual Sales and Budget Sales are correct, but Actual/Budget % shows nothing in report
Thanks.

The OBIEE version is 11.1.1.6.2
Data is from Essbase Cube, version 11.1.2
The report is a simple cross tab table and we added 'After' aggregation to show grand total.
The error show up when we drill down on dimension, click '+'.
However, if I remove the 'After' aggregation. There is no error at all

Issue while opening the web analysis reports

Hi,
One of our user is not able to open a web analysis report with an error messages saying
"Java.Lang.Exception: Unexpected HTTP status code of 500 received from server"
"Document does not exist or no authorization to open the document"
Other users with the same level of access are able to open the report fine and also the same user is able to access the report fine with a test id from his machine.
What could be wrong? Any suggestions please.
The only thing I see here, something wrong with userd ID or password.
Thanks

Hi,
I had also faced this problem earlier. I was using HFM as data source for WA reports. After searching I found that there was some change at HFM level. Some dimensions/members had been deleted or added in HFM. And I was using those missing members in WA Grid.
I had to recreate my reports again as I didn't get any other way to deal with this problem.
Please shared any other alternative option, if you found while working on this issue.
Thanks & Regards,

Using EVALUATE function

Hello to all!
I have a problem using EVALUATE function in BI report column. In my schema I have created stored function.
Call looks like
evaluate('PKG1.GET_STAMP_DATE(%1)' as date,"Доп. аналитики"."Документ")
Состояние: HY000. Код: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 904, message: ORA-00904: "PKG1"."GET_STAMP_DATE": invalid identifier at OCI call OCIStmtExecute. [nQSError: 17010] SQL statement preparation failed. (HY000)
I tried function IN package and OUTSIDE package. The same.
What's wrong???
Tnanks in advance...

Hi,
Check this function in database wether it is working or not.
The identifier (column name, function, …) entered is invalid or unknown.
This can have a number of reasons:
It can be an unknown function, a column name that does not belong to a table, an invalid table alias, …
The following function is not known
SQL> select unknown_function from dual;select unknown_function from dual
*ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00904: "UNKNOWN_FUNCTION": invalid identifier
The following column does not exist in the table:
SQL> select X1 from dual;select X1 from dual
*ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00904: "X1": invalid identifier

How to aggregate data with BI Publisher using an OBIEE analysis

Hello,
I'm new with BI Publisher, and I have a concern about the ability for BIP to aggregate data.
I am creating a data source from an OBIEE analysis containing the columns "Year", "Month", and "Revenue".
I want to use this source for 1 report containing several pages. One of the page has a simple table displaying only the Year and the Revenue.
But I get as many rows as number of months is the year.
And I cannot find any way to have the data aggregate inside my PIB table.
Can someone help me finding the solution?
Many thanks in advance

Hi,
Unfortunalty BIP doesn't aggregate anything, like the BI server does. It will always show data on the lowest level.
If you use a query on the BI-server let the BI server do the aggregation and just remove the "Month" column. If you don't want to remove it from your OBI analysis, copy the logical SQL from this analysis to BIP. And select OBIEE as a datasource.
Then remove month from your query.

Sort Order option disabled when using OBIEE analysis?

Hi everyone
I've build a BIP report using the online layout editor. My data model is based on an existing OBIEE analysis. When I go into the data model and go into the properties of a column, the Sort Order option is somehow defaulted to "No Ordering" and the dropdown menu is actually disabled, so I can't change anything. Is this normal/expected functionality or am I missing something somewhere?
Thanks

I don't think it is possible. Here are the sort statements in this program.
<u>Without Serialization</u>
sort t_idoc_control_r
by sndprn sndprt sndpfc mestyp
mescod mesfct test serial.
<u>With Serialization</u>
sort t_idoc_control_s
by sndprt sndprn obj_type chnum chcou.
In neither of them, the document number is used. There is no guarantee that they will be processed in the document number order, even if serialization is used.

@Rank function using EVALUATE

Hi short question,
I'm trying to get the @rank function to work in combination with OBIEE 10.1.3.4 (using EVALUATE). Anyone here already tried using this with Essbase version 9.2? In some of the documentation it states this can not be done using anything below Essbase 9.3 but the @Rank function is available within v9.2 Is there any limit on using this from the OBIEE side?
I used this reference:
(how to:) http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/04/28/oracle-bi-ee-101332-handling-sort-order-in-hyperion-essbase-931-evaluate-and-mdx/
(Essbase 9.2 doc --> @Rank available) http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12032_01/doc/epm.921/html_techref/techref.htm
Evaluate function I'm trying to launch is:
EVALUATE(’RANK(%1.dimension.currentmember,%2.members)’ AS INTEGER,Period."PeriodGen4",Period."PeriodGen4")
Am I doing something wrong here, or am I trying to do things which can't be done?
Thanks in advance,
Mathijs

I tried the syntax
EVALUATE ('RANK(%1,%2)' as integer,"Account"."Gen4,Account Default","Account"."Gen4,Account Default")
but still i am getting the error as:-

OBIEE Analysis prompts not working in SmartView 11.1.2.5.400

Hi all
I would appreciate any suggestions on the following issue that I am experiencing in SmartView 11.1.2.5.400.
Here are the steps that I am following:
- I have a very simply OBIEE analysis which has one filter (Calendar Year):
- In the Prompts tab in the same analysis I have a prompt defined on Calendar Year:
- In Excel 2010 I import the Pivot using SmartView.
- I receive the following error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object”.
- The data does import after the error message appears but as soon as I click on Edit Prompts the message appears again.
- The pivot imports without any issues when I remove the prompt from the Prompt tab in the Analysis but I need to filter the information before it is displayed in SmartView.
I am using:
SmartView 11.1.2.5, MS Office 2010 and OBIEE 11.1.1.7
Regards
Johan

Hi
Thank you for the reply and document.
The document is unfortunately not helpful. I get the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object” error as soon as soon as I click on Insert on the OBIEE pivot table in SmartView.
The error however disappears when I remove the prompt in the Prompts tab in the analysis and Insert it again.
Thanks
Johan

Can we use Evaluate function in Prompt

Hi all
Can we use Evaluate Function in Dashboard Prompt?
I need some exposure on how to use it.
I am working on a HRMS-OLTP Source where I need to work with Oracle Functions from OBIEE.
IF somebody can tell me that, It will be a favour for me....
ThanQ
Anand V

Hi All,
Here's an example of how to use evaluate. This use calls the Oracle TO_DATE function: EVALUATE('TO_DATE(%1,%2)' as DATE, '03/03/2009', 'MM/DD/YYYY')
Here's how it works: EVALUATE( '<FUNC>' AS <DATATYPE>, VALUE1,VALUE2,etc)
FUNC) Is the syntax for the function you are calling. Any parameters have to be replaced by %<number>, where number refers to the order in which you specify your parameters.
DATATYPE) The datatype that the function will evaluate to. In this case, DATE.
VALUE1) The latter part of the formula is a comma separated list of all the parameters used in the function. In this case, it's the date I want to cast
VALUE2) This is the second parameter. You need as many as you referenced in your function. In this case, it's the date format.
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!
Best regards,
-Joe

Getting Error when creating Data Model off OBIEE Analysis

Hi,
Our BI Publisher is integrated with OBIEE. I am developing BI Publisher report from existing obiee analysis. I am getting error when selecting existing analysis for data Set. Following error gets appear when pressing ok after selecting BI analysis
oracle.xdo.XDOException: oracle.xdo.XDOException: oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: '=' missing in attribute.
I have done some debugging and it seems error is appearing due to presence of dimensional hierarchy in the analysis. If I remove dimensional hierarchy column from the analysis, this error goes away and I am able to save data model and gather sample XML.
Any idea how to handle dimensional hierarchy column in BI Publisher data set?
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
I got this response from Oracle
“Sorry, this is not supported. If the BIEE Analysis has hierarchy columns then BIP cannot use it as a datasource.”

How to build a Analysis report in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I have a query regarding 'How to' to build an analysis report in OBIEE 11g.
The data model is a financial data model, where information such as Actual, Plan, Forecast, What - if etc for current AND prior year need to be displayed in a dashboard.
I created two analysis reports one for current year Rep1 and second for prior year Rep2 each with filter criteria as current year and prior year respectively based on years column. and then in the dashboard I created prompt based on scenario column (radio button) for Actual, plan, Forecast, and wht if.
I am able to show the current vs prior year data in the same dashboard for Actual or Plan or forecast or what if (depending on data availability in the database).
I want to achieve the same information in a single analysis report instead of two separate analysis reports. I do not want to create separate physical report for current and prior year data.
I need one analysis report which I can use in dashboard and depending on selection for scenario (actual , plan, forecast or wht if) I want to show the current AND prior year data the way I achieved in with two seperate reports embedded in their respective sections as explained above.
Does any one have idea how to achive this by building single analysis report?
If you need any more clarificaiton or have any queries, please let me know.
Thanks and Regards
Santosh

As per I understand your requirement,
In your Dashboard create a Presentation variable which receives the value of year you select.
Now in your analysis, select the year column along with all the measures you want (Actual, plan, Forecast, and what-if, etc).
Create a filter on Year column and convert it into SQL. Put the condition as:
"Year" BETWEEN @{Presentaion_Variable} - 1 AND @{Presentation_Variable}
You will get the result for selected year and the previous year.
Hope it helps..

A.K.
