Merging two rpds in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
To merge two RPDs in OBIEE 11g, do I need to have both RPDs online? What are the pre requecities? Do I need to modify ini file to mention those RPDs.? Please tell me the steps involved.
Thanks and Regards
Santosh

Q1. If I create a merge RPD from two independent sources, then, how does the physical layer is built?
A1.
Q2. Does it creates separete schema in physcial layer for tables from first source and another schema for other source?
A2.
Q3. If two separate schemas are built then does those schema pull data from there respective sources independently in Answer?
A3.
Q4. If it create combined schema, then hw is data fetched in Answer? Is there any link created by default or developer need to create a common link between two schemas?
Hw will it fetch data from two seperate data sources during runtime?
A4.
Please provide some conceptual understanding for above queries.
As far as I understand with my knowledge in OBIE, separate connection pool is required for each source when you create merged RPD since tables are from two separate DB sources even if being in the single rpd after merge. If my conceptual understanding is wrong then, guys, please help me to understand.
Thanks
Santosh

  • Error deploying RPD in  OBIEE 11g

    Hi All,
    I am trying to deploy RPD in OBIEE 11g. Everything has been working fine then I had an error on trying to restart the server. Server Log returned the below message.
    [13026] Error in getting roles from BI Security Service: 'Error Message From BI Security Service: PolicySet Invalid: WSM-06102 PolicyReference The policy reference URI "oracle/wss_username_token_service_policy" is not valid. '

    Thanks in advance for any solutions.

    Hi,
    This kind of issues occur, when the application wsm-pm is not running. To resolve this, login to EM -> Application Deployments -> Internal Applications. The two applications wsm-pm on AdminServer and managed server should be up and running.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you,

  • Error while deploying RPD in OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.3)

    Hi Friends,
    At times while deploying RPD in OBIEE 11g, I am getting an error, "_*Supplementary information regarding operation: DOMAIN, UNEXPECTED_ERROR;/tmp/zipped-directory.zip (Permission denied)*_".
    We have installed OBIEE over a LINUX machine. I tried to locate this file in the server but was not able to find any such thing. This error happens at random and I am unable to predict the occurrence of this error.
    Can someone guide me how to resolve this issue?

    You have to disable the central configuration:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10541/disable_em.htm#BEIIAEGD
    Change your repository in the file nqsconfig.ini
    and
    change the password if needed in the credential store ...
    http://gerardnico.com/wiki/_detail/dat/obiee/obiee11g_credential_store.jpg?id=dat%3Aobiee%3Acredential
    But if you can't open EM, it will be very difficult and may be you must have to add resource (memory, ...) to your server.

    Column forumal example based on vanilla usage tracking RPD:
    cast("Query Time"."Year" as varchar(4)) || "Query Time"."Month"BTW: "Month Name" implies a string already so I doubt you'll need to cast it as one...

    FYI , I succesfully checked in the RPD , tried restarting all BI services and re-login into EM . But the error still exists .

    Thanks for your replies !!
    In any of the RPD deployments I'm getting the same error , not for some particular RPD .
    FYI , yesterday (before this issue) I had a issue with starting presentation services , so as adviced in forum I replaced the files sawguidstate and sawguidstate.atrin the location:
    <Instance_Home>\instances\<instance_name>\bifoundation\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\catalog\<project>\root\system\mktgcache\<name>
    with the same files from a backup or from another working OBIEE 11g (11.1.5)instance.
    plese refer : Re: Unable to start presentation services , in OBIEE 11g
    Is this causing the deployment issue ?

  • Running two rpd in obiee at same time in same machine.

    can OBIEE run two rpd files at the same time?
    if can, how to config it?
    I need to run these rpds in a single machine so how is it possible.
    could u plz sort out the issue.

    Yes,you can run two rpd files in single OBI server.But you need to have two different presentation server(machines) to access the web.
    Star     =     paint.rpd, DEFAULT;
    Star     =     Personal.rpd ;
    while configuring the ODBC select the option -CHANGE DEFAULT RPD TO : type the RPD name.
    This is simple and i don't see any performance or other issues

  • Reset password for RPD in OBIEE 11G

    Hi.
    Is there a way to reset or bypass the password to open a RPD in offline mode ?
    I'm using OBIEE 11.1.1.5 linux, and using the Administrator standalone client in windows.
    Thanksx !!

    To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to open the 11g RPD if you don't know the password. The password is basically the encyption key used to encrypt the RPD.
    Once the RPD is opened, you can change the pwd from the File Menu

  • Deploying RPD in OBIEE 11g

    Hi ,
    Is there a way to deploy RPD in OBIEE11g with out using Enterprise Manager because i have logged on to Enterprise manager and when i click on Business Intelligence/Coreapplication
    Its take lots of time and still not going to next step.
    can any one suggest me if there is way to increase the Enterprise manager access speed.
    what is the reason its take such a long time?
    Thanks

    I think FMW Control EM is the only way to deploy RPD in 11g as it controls the RPD versions. About the slowness of EM, not sure. You can try cleaning cache of the browser.

  • Column level filter at RPD level - OBIEE 11g

    Hi all,
    How do i add a filter at the column level in logical layer for one of the metric , it has the following calculation
    case when id in (1,2,3,4,5,5) and category='AS' then case when points=10 or points=9 then 1 else 0 end end
    I want the metric to reused for other id's as well... so i want to put case when id in (1,2,3,4,5,5) in filter of the column. how do i achieve it? plz help
    Thanks,
    Lona

    Your question is not clear, I assume you want points to be reused for other ids, so try this
    case when id in (1,2,3,4,5,5) and category='AS' then
    case when points in (10 ,9) then 1
    else 0
    end
    else points
    end

  • OBIEE 11G - Issue passing parameters between two reports

    Hi folks,
    I am struggling to pass parameters between two reports in OBIEE 11G.
    My first report contains the following columns: Rolling Year Type (VCHAR), Year(VCHAR), Month(VCHAR), Cost(Double).
    My second report contains the following columns: Rolling Year Type(VCHAR), Year(VCHAR), Month(VCHAR), Category(VCHAR), Cost(Double).
    My requirement is to pass the Rolling Year Type, Year and Month values from report 1 to report 2.
    On the Month column properties of report 1, I have created an Action Link called 'Drill to Category'. I have clicked on 'Navigate to BI Content' and selected Report 2.
    Then on Report 2, I have included three filters: Rolling Year Type is prompted, Year is prompted, Month is promted.
    When I run the report I always get the following 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. Please check your Analysis Filters and try again. The filters currently being applied are shown below.
    When I check the cursor cache, the filter values are correct. Does anybody have any idea why Report 2 does not display?
    When I remove the Month filter, the report works correctly.
    I have since changed the third filter to be Month No and although Report 2 does display, it does not pick up the filter on the Month No.
    I initially thought this may have been a caching issue and so I have disabled BI Server Cache but this does not fix my problem.
    This was never an issue on OBIEE 10G as I found it very easy to navigate between two requests.
    Has anyone else experienced problems with passing parameters between two request in 11G?
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I once tried this kind of requirement(with dashboard prompts though) and hit at similar issue. I later found out that the problem is with the space in the parameter values. Can you please let me know, if the same is the case with you?
    Suppose the parameter passed is "Jan 2010", but the report on the destination takes the value as "Jan" & "2010". Yes, it kind of split the parameter value to two based on space. I think we can notice the filters the destination report got, by enabling filter view.
    In this case, since you pass only value at a time, could you try placing the parameter value anyway in double quotes? I think the Server then will understand it as one value.
    Thank you,
    Dhar

  • Peoplesoft Trees as Hierarchial Columns in OBIEE 11g

    Sorry for a duplicate posting. Logged in as a normal user with random number. I know how much people hate it. Logged in as myself now.
    Hi,
    I have extensively searched using Google or 11g docs but could not find a proper solution to using Peoplesoft trees in form of hierarchial columns in obiee 11g. Can the rpd of obiee 11g be designed to view the Peoplesoft tree structure( as it is in Tree manager in Pplsoft) as hierachial columns in obiee 11g? I am sure hierarchial columns as a 11g feature are not just for visual representation in tree format but also can be viewed in Answers and queried against it,am I right?
    Anybody who has worked on trees and OBIEE 11g hierarchial columns? Ahsan/Navin??
    Thanks,
    Dan

    I have not used the 11g hierarchical columns for PSoft Trees but I can think of a glaring reason NOT to do this..PERFORMANCE. If I understand correctly, 11g issues a group by and Union as you traverse this type of structure and PeopleSoft trees have a number of tables to represent the actual TREE. I cannot possibly see how this can be effective especially with a large scale BI Apps DW? This is part of the reason the trees get flattened out via the OOTB ETL adaptors for PSoft.
