Navigate to BI content. Report in different Subject Areas

I have a requirement where I have to navigate to a detailed level report when I click on the column. When I place the reports in the same subject area it works absolutely fine. But according to the requirement the reports cannot be in the same subject area. So when I click on the column, all the filters on the dashboard prompts pass through the main report in SubArea1 to Detail Report in SubARea2 but the attribute value that clicked on does not pass through as a filter. I see all teh records at a detailed level and not just that attribute's records.
We are trying to implement 'Navigate to BI content' Action link from one report to another.
Both these reports are not in the same subject area (Presentation layer) though. How can be make OBIEE pass the appropriate filters to show only the needed subset of data in the second report.
This is needed for our CL, PL and Agency details report. The dashboard is from one subject area, the detail report is from another subject area. We now want to pass what the user clicked in one to the other. Please note that the dashboard prompts would get passed correctly. It is only the 'attribute' on the left side that would not.

All the columns whose values you want to pass to the detail report should be prompted in detail report and the column names should be same.
For example
If you are clicking on Period.Year column in master report then the detail report should have Period.Year column is prompted.
Subject Areas may be different but the presentation table name and column name should be different.
Thanks

Passing a value from Report A to B when B is in a different Subject Area

I had posted a question previously on how to pass the Dept # from Report A to B when B i in a different Subject Area. The question was:
Report A is a table on the Dashboard that shows Actual vs Budget results by Department. I want the user to click on the Department and be navigated to report B that shows the detail transactions that make up the Actual results. Report A and B are from different underlying subject areas. Thus when I navigate to report B, I see ALL departments, and not the one I clicked on in Report A to bring up Report B. How can I limit the results in Report B to be just the respective cell I clicked on in Report A?
I got great advice from Nico on how to use the GO URL, but I can only get that to work if the 2 reports in question are from the same data model. In my case they are NOT.
The GO URL seems to be working, as it does open up Report B when I click on the Department field in Report A, but it does not pass the Department number to Report B, even though reprot B has that field "as prompted".
Can anyone definitively indicate whether what I'm trying to do is not possible in BI EE?

Read this from Venkat... I think this will be helpful in understanding prompts, both the column prompts (Answers) type and the dashboard prompts. Very useful, I think.

Error when building a report from 2 different subject areas

Hello Experts,
I am using obiee 11.1.1.5.
I have 5 dimension D1,D2,D3,D4,D5 connected to fact1 and 4 dimension connected to fact2 such as D1,D2,D6,D7.
where D1,D2 is common to both the facts.
Fact1 Is in subject area 1 and Fact2 is in subject area2.
I need to create a report by adding columns of subject area 1 and 2 with columns from all the dimensions D1,D2....D7.
As of now i am getting error stating "No fact table exists at the requested level of detail " when i try to add columns from 2 different subject areas.
Can anyone help me in solving the above problem.
Is there any prerequisite to be taken care when building a report from 2 different subject areas.
Regards,
NN

Hello Nagireddy,
So kind of you, for your quick reply
I was able to solve the error by doing below steps in additional what you have specified
-->For the fact table LTSs, set the logical level in the Content tab to the dimension's lowest level for each conforming dimension (leave the non-conforming dimensions level blank).
Now I have another requirement i,e
I need to have non measure columns such as Date into the newly created fact in BMM layer.
I tried doing the steps which I followed for measure column, but it is throwing the same error which I get earlier.
Below is the error
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. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 14025] No fact table exists at the requested level of detail:
Let me know if have any suggestions

Fields from 2 different Subject Area via inner or outer join

Hi All
I have a requirement where I have to pull columns which are available in 2 different Subject Areas.
For eg. Col1 and Col2 in one SubjectArea1/Report1 and Col2 and Col3(obviously not available in SubjectArea1) in second SubjectArea2/Report2.
The resultant expected is a single report with Col1, Col2 and Col3.
SUBJECTAREA1/REPORT1---- SUBJECTAREA2/REPORT2----------- FINAL REPORT(on Inner/Outer join)
col1,col2----------------------------col2,col3-----------------------------------col1,col2,col3
Please let me know how to achieve this

Outter Joins are not available within On Demand. Please let me know what Objects you are trying to user here for SubjectArea One and SubjectArea Two?

Report from multiple subject areas

Hi,
I need to create a report from multiple subject areas. I am not sure whether it;s possible in OBIEE answers.
Is there any other tool from OBIEE suite where I can design it?
Thanks

Yes, i can see datatype and number of columns is same in both queries.
i have challanges to copy message but Error message seems to general. Error says (near to FROM) and I checked there are three FROM in query and all seems to be ok
Query is something like as below
select SA1.col1 saw_0,
SA1.col2 saw_1,
SA2.col1 saw_2,
SA2.col2 saw_3,
FROM
(select col1 saw_0, col2 saw_1 from "subject area1") SA1
FULL OUTER JOIN
(select col1 saw_0, col2 saw_1 from "subject area2") SA2
ON SA1.col1 = SA2.col1
I can't see any issue in the query...please comment.

Historical Reporting With Multiple Subject Areas

Hi All,
I am working on to decide the best way to create repository. I do have a requirement from my client that they need to see both Current and Historical Reporting via OBIEE. I am keeping Type 2 SCD. My model consists of about 30 fact tables - each of them represents a business process/event.
Following are my options:
1) One Subejct Area to keep current/historical reporting. Here the joins would be based on PK/FK relationships with Effective Start and Effective End dates. There is a flag in all tables to find the most updated record. Users can use the flag to find the most updated record or use Effective Start and Effective End dates to go point in time.
2) Create two Subject Areas - Current and Historical reporting. Current one will include the flag logic to get the most updated record in RPD
3) Create multiple Subject Areas for each Fact table and use Combining Multiple Subject Area approach to join Subject Areas. Additionally, create one Subject Area for Historical Reporting (that will have all the tables in one SA)
I am thinking of going ahead with option 3) This will have Subject Areas for all logical facts (for Current reporting) and one Subject Area for Historical reporting.
Is this a standard design? Any inputs?

You should try both Complex folders as well as custom folders and see which gives you better performance. Discoverer SQL optimizations for example apply only on Complex folders and not on simple folders.
If you define the joins between the two tables, you can still use items from them in your Discoverer report without having to create a complex folder on them.
And finally, you can always create a view or materialized view and use that MV in your Discoverer query.

How to create Analysis from two different subject areas with diff models

Hello,
I have problem with create analysis from two different areas with two different models (Model Star and Snowflakes) build in BI Admin tools.
First Model A = Subject Area A have one fact tables (with measures) and three dimensions tables (Model Star)
Second Model B = Subject Area B have one fact table (no measures) and five dimensions tables (Model Snowflakes).
I'm looking solutions how I can give good results. In this case I can't use UNION, INTERSECT etc., because this models haven't the same number column and data type?
whether it is possible to do in OBIEE?
Please help me
Kind regard
robix

Hi
One thing to understand is that if your are imagining having two Subject Areas (SAs) displayed and then dragging columns from each into your Request without any preparation, then no, that can't be done. You would need to do a join in the BMM layer and expose the column from the second Subject Area in the presentation layer.
But if you indeed interested in UNION (or intersect) queries, then do this:
Build your first query in the first SA in the usual manner. Note the number of columns and the data types of each column.
Now at the bottom of the Criteria workspace, there is a button called "Combine with similar request." Click it.
Select your second SA. You will note that the outlines of the columns in your first query appear. This is to remind you that the number of columns in this second query must be the same as in the first. It also shows the data type of each column for the same reason.
Once you select your columns and your filters, click on result. (Oh, you will also need to decide what kind of combination you want -- click on the dropdown.) The result will be a new Request that has data from both SAs in the query and combined in the manner you select (union, intersect, etc.)
That should give you a start.

How to take a non metrics column from one fact to different subject area details level?

I have a requirement in OBIEE ,
I have two fact tables W_AP_INV_DIST_F and W_PURCH_COST_F. In my subject area I am using all facts from W_AP_INV_DIST_F table, But I need one more column as per client's requirement. I searched the column RELEASE_NUM found it in W_PURCH_COST_F. So I have to pull RELEASE_NUM into my subject area, which is having W_AP_INV_DIST_F and couple of dimensions.
I have tried directly pull this column FROM W_PURCH_COST_F (physical layer), and dragged it into one dimension "Dim-AP_INVOICE_Details", here already a LTS "Fact_W_AP_INV_DIST_F" available. In Presentation layer I need to use "RELEASE_NUM" in "Invoice Details" presentation table.
I have doubt weather it will work or not, Will it give correct data at granular level ?
Could you please suggest me is there any way to achieve it in OBIEE level ,without any difficulty? Or else I have to go for ETL Changes?
Regards,
Sonu

Chart with data from different subject area

What I want to draw in a single chart is the following (I made this up just to show my requirement)
-The number of accounts by month (a line chart)
-The number of activities by month (bar chart)
Not all accounts necessary have any activity in a month.
In excel I can have two data streams and I can use two Y-axis to present the two different data streams (# of accounts, # of activities). Is it possible to do this in Analytics? I look at the chart setup. It seems there is only one Y-axis. Is that the case?

You can have 2 Y axis. Try the 3d charting mechanism and you may want to try a chart from a pivot stand point.

Report using colmns from 2 subject areas

Hi,
I have to buld a report as below
Product      ForecastRevenue(A)       ActualRevenue(B)       Variance
A                200                                      100                           100
B                200                                      200                            0
ForecastRevenue(A) comes from 1 subject area and ActualRevenue(B) comes from another subject area. Using these 2 columns from different subject area I have to create
a calculated column variance which is the difference of two columns. How can I create this report. Any idea?

can be done in two ways;
1. Using Union report
Create a union report with two request.
Request1 -          product               Forecast_Revenue     Actual Revenue
Col expression     "product.name"     "Fact.Revenue"         0
Request2 -          product               Forecast_Revenue     Actual Revenue
Col expression      "product.name"    0                             "Fact.ACTUAL_Revenue"
In the result tab create a pivote report and set the aggregation of fact column as sum.
Add a calculated column and write the expression as
Farecast_Revenue - Actual_Revenue
You are done.
2. Use the advance tab in the report and write a custom SQL to join these two subject area.
eg.
select product, A.forecast_reveneu, B.Forecast_Reveneue, A.forecast_reveneu-B.Forecast_Reveneue
from SA1 A join SA2 B on (A.product=B.PRODUCT)
You are done.
Best of Luck,

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..

Historical Suibject Area & Reporting Subject Area

Hi,
At the Company Profile Level I can see the Option of Reporting Subject Area and Historical Suibject Area at the Company Profile level and also at the user profile level.
However, not clear what these checkbox are used for, Are they being used for Reports (Available on Reports, Dashboard ) ?
Thanks :)

They are used with manager's visibilty and Book of Business security to help give or revoke access to the different subject areas.

Report from different connection pools

Hi All
My requirement is as below.
When USER1 logs in and builds a report from a subject area then the data is fetched from connection_pool1 and when user 2 logs in and builds the same report then data is fetched from connection_pool2.
The data are in identical table structures in both connection pools but for user2 there is a restriction on the volume of data hence can this dynamic feature be implemented? and How.
thanks
swastik

We cannot do this dynamically,We need to change this manually

One prompt for two or more subject area

Does someone knows how to resolve this problem?
I have two subject areas. And I need to create prompt that will work on dashboard that contain requests from two different subject areas (one request from one subject area). I hope that I was clear with this problem, if not I would try to explain it again.
Thanks

Hi,
Another way is to have the same naming in both subject areas. So the names of the items you can pick should be: both presentation table name as well as presentation column name. i.e.:
Subject Area A:
Product Dim
Product Group
Product Name
Subject Area B:
Product Dim
Product Group
Product Name
Then you can create a prompt on either Product Group name and it will affect reports from both subject area's
