Missing fields in subject area in vanilla rpd.

Hi,
I am trying to create a Dsicoverer report in OBIEE. The report is Vendor Bank Account information. I am unable to find any bank account information in the subject areas that came in the vanilla rpd. Is there any subject area that would fit my needs or do I have to modify the rpd and pull the bank information there.
Thanks,
Anitha

Hi,
I have a question ...if the fields do not exist in the subject area can we just import those fields into the subject area? after importing do we have to do the physical and complex joins as well? then do we have to move the field to the Presentation layer? What is the procedure if a field is missing in the subject area? we are using OBIEE integrated with Oracle apps and informatica as the ETL tool. Please advise.

Missing tables inside Answers - Subject area

Hi all,
I have a strange problem where few dimension tables are missing from a
subject area.
When I check the same in RPD - Presentation layer, the particular
catalog has those dimension tables.
This happened after I restarted the BI server i.e. Previously it used
to work fine.
Anybody experienced this before?

I was able to indentify these fields in the physical and logical tables. These two columns were not pulled into the presentaion layer. My question is 1. can I just drag and drop this field from BMM layer to presentaion layer. 2. How do I confirm that I am dragging and dropping this field into the correct subject area. Please adivse. Thanks.

NQSError: 15001 Could not load navigation space for the subject area

Hi gems,
I am creating repository with some subject areas from one of the Old repository which has no errors. New repository is giving error as
nQSError: 15001 Could not load navigation space for the subject area
nQSError: 15004 Internal Error: Missing Functional dependency association for the column
But actual for particular column n OLD Repository it is not giving any error
Can anyone help me why this is giving this error.
Thanks
Manu

Hi Manu,
Please check if all the columns in the copied subject areas are having links to BMM layer and physical layer columns. If the pulled tables does not have proper joins with other BMM tables, it also will cause load naviagtion error.
While copying the subject area from another RPD you must have missed some objects or joins. Please verify.
Thanks

Change subject area of existing reports......

hi all
Is it possible to change the subject area of the existing reports.
in my case i had 3 reports on my dashboard having different subject areas.
i went to the rpd level. and created a new subject area within the rpd which consists of all the 3 subject areas.
is it possible, that i can use this new integrated subject area for my reports and dashboards that i creatd
regards
mahis

go to the advanced tab of each request/report
then you find Enter the name of the Subject Area field.. where you see your old subject area
replace that with your new subject area name..
Note: need not to click on Set SQL
you also can do that in catalog manager.. open that report, right click properties > edit xml, replace old subject area name with new one...
but, i prefer first one
finally, why your all threads are opened?
close them if they answered and respond back to them by assigning points..

Pick a subject area at run time and create an analysis on this subject area.

We have a requirement wherein we need to create analyses at run time. We want to give the flexibility to users to pick up a subject area on which they wish to create an analysis. This will be done through a dashboard prompt. Once the user picks up a subject area from the prompt, we will create the analyses at run time based on the selected subject area.
The problem that we are facing at this point is how to create a dynamic 'FROM' clause for the analysis. As an example, consider the following scenario:
1. There is a dashboard prompt called 'Select a DataStore'. The possible values are all the subject areas in the RPD. For simplicity, lets assume there are two values DS1 and DS2.
2. If the user selects DS1, the analysis sql should be:
select <colgroup1>, <colgroup2>
from DS1;
However, if the user selects DS2, the analysis sql should be:
select <colgroup1>, <colgroup2>
from DS2;
Hence the requirement for a dynamic FROM clause.
I tried using a presentation variable in the from clause but I get the sql syntax error.
Is there a way of implementing this requirement?

To work around the license issue, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article LICREQST.EXE Requesting a License Key from an Object and download licreqst.exe. Run licreqst.exe and find "CWUIControlsLib.CWSlide.1" under the registered controls section and click on it. The license string at the top can be passed to Licenses.Add and then you should be able to dynamically create the Measurement Studio controls. For example:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Licenses.Add "CWUIControlsLib.CWSlide.1", "[Add license string from licreqst here]"
Dim slide
Set slide = Controls.Add("CWUIControlsLib.CWSlide.1", "slide")
With slide
.Top = 120
.Width = 1215
.Visible = True
End With
End Sub
Creating controls like this would have an impact on performance since all calls are late bound. If you are using the Measurement Studio controls in a UserControl, though, you should not need to do this since the license would get compiled into the binary that contains the control. I don't think that you would have any problems creating your control since it would not be licensed.

Extended Subject Area is throwing error

Hi All,
I am working on consolidation of OBIEE reports and create single RPD.
We have OBIA as primary repository. One plant is on legacy system. We have created a new schema in EBS database and loaded data to this new schema.
I created a new Physical layer, BMM and Subject area in RPD.
I can see this extended subject area in the RPD.
Whenever I am trying to run a report, I get following error -
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Error Details
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. Please have your System Administrator look at the log for more details on this error. (HY000)
But at the same time the standard Subject area work fine and give output.
Did anyone face such issue? Request help from the group on this.

Yes. I can query the tables.
When I update row count then row counts are updated successfully.
The important part is that the database tables for both the subject area are in same database, just different schema.
One subject area ( standard) gives results without any issue. The extended subject area pointing to new schema is giving error. The data is in same database.

Copy subject areas between repositories...

Is it possible to copy subject areas from one RPD file to another? How?
And regarding reports: is it possible to copy reports from one catalog to another? how?
Thanks.

Hi FPG - look into merge functionality. With certain tweaks, it should be possible to achieve functionality, however, it's not a direct copy.

Error connecting to the Oracle BI Server: The specified ODBC DSN is referencing

Your Explanation about getting the error seems a little incomplete...
Whatever, RPD you are putting in the Catalog folder of OracleBIData Folder should also be your Default RPD if you are opting to see the Report in BI-Answers.
Whenever you go online the BIServer tracks the NQSConfig.ini file and checks for consistency. The same rpd must be there in the catalog folder with the ROOT attributes...
Also, check the DSN and Connection pool in the Physical Layer. If you are using Oracle Database check for the Service name entry in the TNSNAMES.ORA file..

YY field is missing in RHS (POOL area)

Hi Gurus,
I need to add YYACCDT field in LO datasource 2LIS_12_VCITM. So I double clicked maintenance structure and wanted to pull the field YYACCDT from RHS to LHS in POOL area, but I don't see this field YYACCDT in RHS. But I found this field as a append field in MCLIKP and table LIKP. Please advice what should I do so that this field YYACCDAT will appear in RHS side.
Thanks
Liza

I think MCLIKP is specific to a particular datasource, that's why I am not able see YYACCDT field in 2LIS_11_VCITM pool area but I could see it in 2LIS_12_VCHDR pool area. I think there is no way to add the missing field in RHS side in POOL area. I may be wrong. Please advice.
Thanks
Liza

Subject area in RPD got deleted

Hi,
A subject area in Business layer of RPD got deleted and i have all my joins and logical keys defined. I have a backup of the rpd taken a week back. Can i import the deleted subject area alone from the backup rpd and restore in business layer of the latest rpd?
This rpd is in OBIEE 10
Kindly help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance.
Bhuvan R
Edited by: user13642056 on Jul 22, 2012 11:43 PM

Hi User,
If your old rpd has all the changes in place for the deleted subject area try this,
->Take a backup of the current rpd
->Goto File-> Import from rpd and select old rpd
->In the pop up window, select the subject area to be imported
->If you have any init blocks associated with the model, import them and complete the merge process
This should import the deleted subject area.
