Multiple repositories in 1 bi server ...with PS catalog....in OBIEE 11g

Any body attempted to do this ? Having multiple repositories in 1 biserver....with multiple webcatalog used in 2 PS on same machine. This doesn't seem to work in OBIEE11g. Analytics.ear contains lots of new deployment descriptors for web.xml in 11g.

We did exactly what was stated for 11g. The below 2 urls were used to do it 11g . we have 2 urls
http://xxxx:9704/analytics (default rep ,catalog)
http://xxxxx:9704/analytics_appa ( 2nd rep and catalog)
We can see repositories are loaded online but when we access sometimes it goes to the wrong rpd/webcatalog. Some caching or something is going on from browser.
Any body attempted this setup ? We have opened a ticket with oracle but no good response.
Thanks

Error while using between operator with sql stmts in obiee 11g analytics

Hi All,
when I try to use between operator with two select queries in OBIEE 11g analytics, I'm getting the below error:

can anyone help me out in resolving this issue.

Hi All,
Thank u all for ur replies, but I dint the exact solution for what I'm searching for.
If I use the condition as
"WHERE "Workforce Budget"."Used Budget Amount" BETWEEN MAX("Workforce Budget"."Total Eligible Salaries") AND MAX("Workforce Budget"."Published Worksheet Budget Amount"",
all the data will be grouped with the two columns which I'm considering in the condition.
my actual requirement with this query is to get the required date from a table to generate the report either as daily or weekly or monthly report. If I use repository variables, variables are not getting refreshed until I regenerate the server(which I should not do in my project). Hence I have created a table to hold weekly start and end dates and monthly start and end dates to pass the value to the actual report using between operator.
please could anyone help me on this, my release date is fast approaching.

Help with displaying BLOBs in OBIEE 11g

I am trying to get OBIEE 11g to display photographs in an Analysis report. I know BLOB fields are not supported, and I have been reading posts on this board and following examples on internet sites that try to get round this problem. But, try as I might, I cannot get those pesky photos to display.
Below are all the steps I have followed. Sorry that there is a lot to read, but I was hoping that somebody has been successful in doing this, and may spot something in one of my steps that I am doing wrong.
ORACLE TRANSACTIONAL SOURCE_
Table : EMPL_PHOTO
Fields:
USN VARCHAR2(11) ( Unique Key )
EMPLOYEE_PHOTO BLOB ( I think the photos are stored as 'png' )
ORACLE WAREHOUSE SOURCE_
Table : D_PERSON_PHOTO_LKUP
Fields :
PERSON_KEY     NUMBER(38,0) ( Primary Key - Surrogate )
USN     VARCHAR2(11)
PHOTO     CLOB
BLOB to CLOB conversion.
I used this function :
     create or replace function blob_to_clob_base64(p_data in blob)
     return clob
     is
     l_bufsize integer := 16386;
     l_buffer raw(16386);
     l_offset integer default 1;
     l_result clob;
     begin
     dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_result, false, dbms_lob.call);
     loop
     begin
     dbms_lob.read(p_data, l_bufsize, l_offset, l_buffer);
     exception
     when no_data_found then
     exit;
     end;
     l_offset := l_offset + l_bufsize;
     dbms_lob.append(l_result, to_clob(utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(utl_encode.base64_encode(l_buffer))));
     end loop;
     return l_result;
     end;
     select usn, employee_photo ,
     BLOB_TO_CLOB_BASE64(employee_photo)
     from empl_photo
IN OBIEE ADMINISTRATION TOOL_
*1) Physical Layer*
Added D_PERSON_PHOTO_LKUP from Connection Pool
Left it as 'Cachable'
Didn't join it to any tables
Changed field PHOTO to a 'LONGVARCHAR' length 100000
Set USN as the Key ( not the surrogate key )
*2) BMM Layer*
Dragged D_PERSON_PHOTO_LKUP across.
Renamed it to 'LkUp - Photo'
Ticked the 'lookup table' box
Removed the surrogate key
Kept USN as the Primary key
The icon shows it similar to a Fact table, with a yellow key and green arrow.
On Dimension table D_PERSON_DETAILS (Dim - P01 - Person Details) added a new logical column
Called it 'Photo'
Changed the column source to be derived from an expression.
Set the expression to be :
Lookup(DENSE

"People"."Dim - P01 - Person Details"."USN" )
Icon now shows an 'fx' against it.
Note: This table also had it Surrogate key removed, and USN setting as primary key.

Dragged the new Photo field across.
Saved Repository file, uploaded, and restarted server.

Thanks, yes I followed http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/bi.1111/e10540/busmodlayer.htm#BGBDBDHI, but when I get to the part of setting the LOOKUP function on th Physical source, only ONE physical source is displayed. I need TWO sources ( The Employee Table, and the Photo LookUp.
I have raised this as an error with Oracle. We are now on OBIEE 11.1.1.7, but Oracle say BLOBS are still not supported in that release. It will be fixed in 11.1.1.8 and it will be backported into 11.1.1.6.11
In the meantime we have abandoned showing Photo's in any of our reports.

This requirement sounds like it has a possible solution with some html coding. My idea is to :
1) Create a dashboard with two pages.
2) In the first page, create an iframe of the first dashboard.
3) In the second page, create an iframe of the second dashboard.
4) Customize the second dashboard page to have the custom background color.
Please refer to this link on how to customize the dashboard pages: http://www.appsassociates.com/resources/presentations/AA_OBIEE_Customizing_Dashboard_Appearance_NEOAUG_Fall09.pdf
Please assign points if helpful.
Thank you,

Issue with Dashboard customization in OBIEE 11G

Hi All,
I have a dashboard page with 1 prompt and 4 sections. My need is to show all sections minimized when a user logs in to the analytics. So as a Admin I have minimized all sections and saved the customization for others as Default customization.
Now the problem is I have column called Month in my Prompt, which is a Multi select column, for this column I made to select few values by default using SQL results option, which basically selects all months less than current month, for example current month is Jan'13 so values till Dec'12 month will be checked by default. Since we have saved customization, the month column is not getting refreshed , for example when I login to analytics on Feb'13 , the data is still checked till Dec'12, which ideally should also include Jan'13 as well.
Anyone please advise on this issue.
Thanks,
GJ

Hi,
I used this method with success in a number of dashboards, it should work also in your case.
I defined the dashboard prompt to have column values defaulted in some way (by means of specifying explicit values, using SQL results or variables, etc - the method does not matter).
I built the dashboard page including prompt and analyses.
Then I run the dashboard page and, without doing anything other, I collapsed the sections I wanted to start as closed and saved as shared customization.
It does work fine in my case, the prompt works as specified.
Hope this helps,
Cristina

Can I pass parameters from a dashboard via a dashboard prompt and presentation variable to publisher report based on a data model with select statements in OBIEE 11g ?

I have a publisher 11g (v 11.1.1.7) report with a single parameter. The report is based on a data model not a subject area. I created a dashboard put a dashboard prompt and link to the report in separate section on the same page. The dashboard prompt sets a presentation variable named the same as the parameter in the report.
The problem was when I created the dashboard prompt, it forced me to select a subject area which I did (though did not want to) and then I created both a column and variable prompts. But clicking on the
report link completely ignored the value that I thought would be passed in the presentation variable to the report.
Side note : My report uses a pdf template for its layout where I have mapped the columns names from my data model to the form fields on the pdf form. I noticed that if I create a publisher report based on a subject area, then I do not have the choice to choose a PDF as a template type for my layout. (I only see BI Publisher Template as a choice).
I see some documentation online that suggest it could be done in 10g.
Thanks
M. Jamal

Ok,
I just tried that and it still doesn't pass anything to the prompt.
I changed the prompt to an edit field and I made the following weblink but when i click the link from an account it doesn't put anything in the prompt and all data for all accounts is shown.
This is the URL maybe I messed something up...
https://secure-ausomx###.crmondemand.com/OnDemand/user/Dashboard?OMTHD=ShowDashboard&OMTGT=ReportIFrame&SelDashboardFrm.Dashboard Type=%2fshared%2fCompany_########_Shared_Folder%2f_portal%2f360+Report&Option=rfd&Action=Navigate&P0=1&P1=eq&P2=Account."Account Name"&P3=%%%Name%%%

How to handle Fact tables with different granularity in OBIEE 11g RPD

Hello Everyone,
I have got stuck here and need your help.
I have two fact tables (Say F1 and F2... F1 is containing data at month-level and F2 is containing data at day level) and one Date DIMENSION TABLE. Date_Code is the PK of Date dimension table.I need to use time-series functions also.
Can anyone tell me how to model this requirement in the RPD.
Can we use a single dimension table(Here Date dimension table) with two fact table of different grainularity? What would be the best way to implement this requirement?
Thanks in advance :)

Hi Veeravalli,
Thanks for your reply :)
Let me explain the problem in more detail. I have one Date dimension(Date_Code,Month_Code,Quarter_Code,Half_Year_Code,Year_Code). Here Date_Code is the PK.
In F1---->Date (Using Month_Code key)
F2-------->Date (Using Date_Code Key)
Level based hierarchy is there starting from Year to Date.Each level has PK defined and chronological key selected.
F1 has level set to Month and F2 has level set to Day.
Now if i am using ago() function on measure of F2 (having day level data) then it's working fine but if i am using ago() function on measure of F1...I am getting an error at Presentation service: Date_code must be projected for time-series functions.
So the whole issue is with time-series functions. As per my research...I think for time series the tables in the physical model containing the time dimension cannot join to other data sources, except at the most detailed level but here i am joining with F1(using Month_Code which is not the most detailed level).
So kindly let me know how to achieve this in rpd?

Issue with repository variable in OBIEE 11g

Hi

I want to know how answers is treating it char type or number type?
just cast it to number and try.
Edited by: Srini VEERAVALLI on Apr 2, 2013 7:00 AM
BTW: how you are calling variable
lik this
repository variable - 1
or like this
VALUEOF(repository variable) - 1

BI cluster DOWN but the services and the admin server is all UP in OBIEE 11G.

Hi
Please suggest me some solution that if the BI cluster is DOWN and all the other components are all UP.Only the BI cluster and the Biserver_1 is DOWN under bicluster.so that the analytics is not working and showing in the Internet Explorer as "The Page Cannot be Displayed". But the EM and the Console are Working fine.

Some times it may happen because of the services if they are not started in order
./startNodeManager.sh
nohup ./startWeblogic.sh -Dweblogic.Management.username=username -Dweblogic.Management.password=password > AdminServerStart.log & tail -f AdminServerStart.log
nohup ./startManagedServer.sh bi_server1 -Dweblogic.Management.username=username -Dweblogic.Management.password=password>bi_serverstart.log & tail -f bi_serverstart.log
./opmnctl startall
Try this and let us know the out come.

Issue with Presentation Hierarchy in obiee 11g

Hi Guru's
I am using a presentation hierarchy in obiee 11 g, but it is behaving weirdly when expanding the hierarchy
for example i have a hierarchy for languages when i expand one country in the hierarchy all the countries which has similar childs are getting expanded
for Example Parent A B C D
under A i have 1, 2,3,4, under B i have 5,6,7,8 under C i have 9, 10 ,11, 12 under D i have 1, 13, 14, 15
so when i expand A in answers D is also getting expanded as i have 1 as common value in both the parents.
can some please help me how to fix this, as the user does not like this expansion
Thanks in advance,

That is strange... I downloaded the files from the left hand side of this page:
[Sample Application site|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/obiee-samples-167534.html]
... the title states quiite clearly that the Sample Application (Build 825) applies to OBIEE release 11g.

SRM MDM with Multiple Repositories and required S&A.

Hello everyone,
We are in the planning process to migrate from CCM to MDM. Our current environment has two separate customers running on two separate SAP clients in SRM 5.0 using the internal CCM (one SAP SRM instance, 2 separate SAP clients).
In MDM it seems the concept of SAP client does not exist but the concept of an MDM Repository. I was thinking that by creating two dfifferent repositories (one for each customer) it would substitue the concept of the internal CCM on each SAP client.
Can we have one MDM system with two separate repositories one for each of the existing customers with the required S&A?
That is, customer A will logon to MDM to maintain only A's repository. Customer A must not be allowed to access B's repository and viceversa.
Also, Repository A would be published only for users using SRM system under SAP Client A, and Repository B would be published only for users using SRM system under SAP Client B.
The intention is that each customer will have their own electronic catalog.
Thank you.
Martin

Hi Martin,
The answer to your question is yes, it is possible to have one MDM system with two separate repositories one for each of the existing customers (that intend to have different electronic catalogs).
In fact, I think this would be the best way to separate: 1. data sets, 2. access.
1. Each MDM repository carries its own data set (like SAP client)
2. Each MDM repository has its own security (users/passwords, roles, etc.)
Another consideration (relates to point 1) is bringing data from SAP client (e.g. product master, contracts). Since you have two different SAP clients, managing replicated data from both of them in one MDM repository would be a form of suicide.
You can have multiple repositories on one MDM server. A common case is when you have a staging (master) repository, and a production (slave) repository. The slave repository is what you show to searching end users; the master repository is for data loads. You synchronize the slave repository with any changes from the master at such time when you're sure the master is good to publish.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Serguei

BI Server not starting in OBIEE 11g

see whether the cluster control is alive.. if the status is other than Alive.. try to restart the BI cluster controls from http://localhost:7001/em/
check the status, then start the BI presentation servers...
hopefully this should start the servers to 100%
