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?

hi Param,
Right click on table-->properties-->check the permissions whether everyone is assigned to that table or not
thanks,

Consistency check error 38011: Logical tables from multiple subject areas..

I received multiple 38011 errors when performing a consistency check after merging repositories:
For example:
Logical tables from multiple subject areas associated, OHRP and Enterprise Warehouse
(OHRP and Enterprise Warehouse refer to different business models)
I'm really not sure what this means, and Metalink and Google aren't turning up anything.
Thoughts?
-John

John,
Does it say anything about Assertion Failure? Also, this is straight up from help regarding import (through file menu) "Use this option when the objects you import are unrelated to objects already in the repository such as when the business model and physical layer objects do not exist. If an object of the same name and type exists, the import process overwrites the existing object with the new object. When you import objects from one repository into another, the repository from which you are importing must be consistent."
Sometimes Merge does bring unexpected (and unwanted results) - especially if there're presentation aliases, duplicate business models, or naming conflicts. If it's not too late, I suggest you use Import,rather than Merge, also, preferably starting with a new RPD file. This would enable you to bring items piece-by-piece and hopefully would allow you to isolate the problem.
Also, depending on the size - it's sometimes preferable to just reproduce missing part(s). I hope this is helpful.
Also, I forgot to say - the Import is deprecated and not supported. They suggest you use Project Extract and Merge. If Merge isn't working out for you and Import isn't an option - maybe you could try Project.

Add object in repository but not showing in answers subject area

Hi all,
I add a table from physical layer to BM and then presentation layer and successfully restart the BI service but it still not showing in answers subject area i also logout and login the application... any idea why.
Regards

Have you reloaded the metadata in the presentation server? This can be done in Answers by using the 'reload metadata' link below the tables (you must have the privilege to do this, by default the Administrator user can do this).
Restarting the presentation server service will also force a reload.

Add columns in the existing Customer table in a Subject Area

Hi All,
Well I need to add two columns from Sales table(new table i created which has customer Id) and join it to the Customer Table which has the Customer Id and several columns. The Customer table was already in the RPD which has all the customer information. Now that i have this new requirement to add few columns from the Sales table to the Customer table in one Subject Area.
What i have done so far is that I imported the sales table into the rpd, made a join in PHYSICAL LAYER on the customer ID of the Sales table to the Customer id of the Customer table and simply dragged the sales table to the Customer LTS in the BMM layer(NO MORE JOINS IN BMM)and dragged and dropped the same into the Presentation layer. The customer table is linked to one fact table in that subject area. So i thought that dragging the sales table columns in the customer table LTS will work because customer is linked to one fact in that subject area.
Now, In the Answers when I dragged columns from customer & sales table I see only one record that is the first customer_id record from my Sales table but i know there are many common customer_ids between those two tables but its only picking the first customer id from the sales table.
Any help will be appreciated..
Normally if we need to add some columns to the existing tables in one subject area what is the best approach??

Subject area security validating users and groups from external table

Hi all.
I don't have practice to put question here, but there is one problem, that seems don't work correctly in OBIEE.
I'm trying to put users in groups within external table and this works fine.
I put security on the subject area level like this:
SA1 -> GroupA allow, Everyone not allow
SA2 -> GroupB allow, Everyone not allow
External table:
User----------Group
A---------GroupA;GroupB
B---------GroupB
Users A, B and GroupA, GroupB exists in the RPD, but I didn't put users inside them, I want this from table.
From the init block, external table I'm taking users and join them in the group. Same name users and groups are also in the presentation service.
When i connect with user A i don't see any subject area, when go to My Account i see in Group Membership/GroupA and GroupB, so it's readed from the external table.
Why in this case the subject area permission is not working?
It works if I explicitly put users in groups, in the RPD.
I have read this blog entry http://kpipartners.blogspot.com/2009/07/groups-webgroups-and-delivers.html and it is said that this works, but I'm interested how.
What should we have in the presentation part, administration, Manage Privileges -> Access within Oracle BI Answers option for those two subject area?
This doesn't work or something is missing:

What should we have in the presentation part, administration, Manage Privileges -> Access within Oracle BI Answers option for those two subject area?Yes, you should remove Everyone and add the relevant groups to each Subject Area. You don't need to set privileges in the RPD, in fact that's probably why it doesn't work for you. Leave your RPD Presentation Catalog as "Everyone" = Read as you will controlling access from the Presentation Services and it should work.

Can we hide the tables and columns from subject areas in the front end

Hi,
Is there any way to hide the tables and columns from the subject area in front end.I need to create a report with some tables which the user does not want to see.So after creating the reprot can I hide those tables and columns in the front end

Hi,
Your question is not that clear to me...do you want to hide the entire table/column that dont want to show up in the front end then you could do in Presneation Layer in the RPD by going Permissions in the property of that object.
But if you want to hide the column in the report that can be visible in the subject Area: go to column properties -> Column fomat...thereis Hide option.
Can you please elaborate your question...what exactly you are looking for...

Using of already existing logical tables and columns in a new subject area.

Hi Every one,
i am new to OBIEE technology.
In my project i need to create a new subject area for already existing RPD.
In that RPD there are some logical tables and column created for previous project and i need to use those in this new subject area that i am going to create.
My question is what is the best way to use them .
I mean just to drag and drop them into new subject area or any other way.
please have your valuable suggestions
thanking you

Yes, you can basically copy paste all the tables that you need from BMM layer into your new folder in the presentation layer. Just make sure all the joins are defined well between all the tables that exists in the new folder, so you wont end up running into ODBC errors when you run analysis.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

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.

Subject Area not showing for Single Logical Table Repository Schema

Hi
I'm trying to create a very simple OBIEE repository schema for a sales proof of concept. The schema consits of a single physical table, single BMM (logical) table and a single presentation table.
I have created all the layers OK. However, when I check for global consistancy i get an error message 'Logical table SALES_POC does not join to any other logical table'. Now i understand this error, but in this case this is how the design is intended. However, if ignore this error i'm not seeing the new subject area after bouncing BI server & BI presentation services.
Anyone know a way round this, or do i need to have at least 2 logical tables?
Thanks
James

Yes I think RPD is in the correct folder & NQSConfig.INI is set correctly.
RPD is called ethreeCustomv1.RPD & saved in /ora/biee/10.1.3.4/OracleBI/server/Repository
NQSConfig.INI has the following definition:
[ REPOSITORY ]
BIEE = ethreeCustomv1.rpd, DEFAULT;
[ CACHE ]
ENABLE = NO;

Doc listing all OBIA RPD Projects and related Subject areas and Presentation tables.

Hi All,
Can anyone help with the Oracle document ID which gives the RPD Projects and related Subject areas only and Presentation tables.
I tried using the documentation utlity but it is unable to give me result according to the RPD Projects.
Thanks,
Dev

It is combination of different activities:
Product guide, check here cool-bi.com
RPD documentation based on prod guide.
There might be a project called Project and try to import rpd contents into another then generate rpd doc.

"AP Transactions" Subject Area hitting incorrect Fact table

Hi Gurus,
Requirement/Background:
We have done some customization to "Financials - AP Transactions" subject area i.e. adding 3 new W_DAY_D aliases in physical layer and few custom columns in W_AP_XACT_F.
I did not create any new BMM tables for new W_DAY_D aliases, just added these new tables in LTS (Fact_W_AP_XACT_F) under "Dim - AP Transaction Details", and put all the custom columns under same Logical table i.e."Dim - AP Transaction Details" mapping correctly to W_DAY_D and W_AP_XACT_F.
Problem Statement :
Whenever I add "Purchase Invoice Number" to the query, it hits incorrect fact table i.e.W_AP_AGING_INVOICE_A and gives incorrect results.
Expected Query : (if I select GL Account Number, Purchase Invoice Number & AP Amount)
select sum(T333486.AP_LOC_AMT * -1) as c1,
               sum(T333486.AP_DOC_AMT * T333486.GLOBAL1_EXCHANGE_RATE * -1) as c2,
               T333486.PURCH_INVOICE_NUM as c3,
               T334337.GL_ACCOUNT_NUM as c4
          from
               W_AP_XACT_F T333486 /* Fact_W_AP_XACT_F */ ,
               W_GL_ACCOUNT_D T334337 /* Dim_W_GL_ACCOUNT_D */
          where ( T333486.GL_ACCOUNT_WID = T334337.ROW_WID and T333486.PURCH_INVOICE_NUM = '1161/13 CH' and T333486.DELETE_FLG = 'N' )
          group by T333486.PURCH_INVOICE_NUM, T334337.GL_ACCOUNT_NUM
Current Query it is firing :
select sum(T333486.AP_LOC_AMT * -1) as c1,

          group by T334337.GL_ACCOUNT_NUM, T348360.PURCH_INVOICE_NUM
"Purchase Invoice Number" is out-of-box present under "Dim - AP Transaction Details" and it is mapped to 4 tables including W_AP_XACT_F & W_AP_AGING_INVOICE_A. It is also set at Detail level in AP Transactions dimension hierarchy.
Additionally, implicit fact column has also been set. So why it is not hitting W_AP_XACT_F ???
Thanks in advance.

Ravi Desai

You said that the Logical table Date- dim has 2 LTS (Date_dim, Event_closed_date_dim ).
How you defined this, is it something like
1) Drag table Date_dim
2) Select the column Row_wid of Event_closed_date_dim from Physical layer and drop on Row_wid of Logical tabl Date_dim
With this logical column Row_wid 2 sources. In this case you see 1 logical join between logical table day(with 2 LTS) and fact
If you followed this way should not have any issues.
Joins like:
PL-: Date_dim--->Fact<-- Event_closed_date_dim
BMM: Date->Fact
If you have any doubts, just create a new rpd with these table objects
Check your configuration.

OBIEE 11g: Searching Subject Area for measure names in Answers

Hello,
I have installed OBIEE 11g SampleApp 825 and just exploring the provided set of dashboards.
From the samples, I am performing following steps:
- I selected Edit Dashboard (for 2.1 Simple Demo Dashboard)
- For Column 2, in the Master Detail 1 Compound View, I did Edit Analysis
- which took me into the Answers design interface with 4 tabs (Criteria, Results, Prompts, Adv).
In the Criteria tab, there is the Subject Area pane on the left where it shows the Subject Area this Answers report is built on and a bunch of Folders like Time, Products, Base Facts etc.
Beside the Subject Area pane, is the Selected Columns pane where you drop fields from the folders.
This particular analysis (Product Line Analysis) has three columns: Revenue Analysis, Products Hierarchy and T05 Per Name Year.
Now, I want to find the folder to which the Revenue Analysis measure belongs. So, I started expanding each node/folder in the Subject Area pane and visually searching for "Revenue Analysis"....cannot find it!
How to determine which Subject Area folder a field on the Analysis belongs to? In Oracle Discoverer, only the Folders from which fields are selected are "enabled" so it's easy to navigate straight to that folder. Or again, in Discoverer, you can actually search for a particular field name and it will return all folders that have that field name pattern. While the Search feature on the top row is useful in finding which Analysis/Report match a string, it does not help in identifying relevant Subject Area Folder fields that match a pattern.
Is something similar available in Answers/OBIEE 11g?
Thanks,
Manish
Edited by: mhathi on Oct 21, 2010 8:53 AM

Again answering part of my own question...It was staring me right in the eye and I couldn't see it:-)...When you have a column in the Selected Columns pane, it's source is right there above the field name. If there is no source folder listed, then it might mean it's a formula. For example in my case, the Products Hierarchy column has the word Product above it...that's the folder it belongs to.
Good. But, the follow-on question still remains, how to search for folders containing a particular string, to find say all folders that have columns like %Margin%?
