Need help in OBIEE BMM layer logic implementation

Hi All,
I have a requirement in my RPD development.
I have two tables account and site.

for account table we have the Site Data_1_Name ..Site Data_3_Name columns values which is the column name for the values in Site table(i.e the values in the columns "Site Data_1_Value..Site Data_1_Value") . this values change dynamically based on the column name(Site Data_1_Name ..Site Data_3_Name ) in Account Table . how do i map this column values in RPD level ? or do we have any logic to implement this. PLEASE HELP ME TO SOLVE THIS ...
Thanks in advance ,
Mohan Mano

HI mohan the information you provided holding some sensitive data please delete some of them otherwise you might be in trouble.
Make join between the account_ID and the SITE_ID based on the inner join columns which match in both tables will retrieved in the report. If you want to see the null values as well you can use outer join.
Thanks,

OBIEE BMM Layer

In the OBIEE repository, if you create FKs in the physical layer between tables, you shouldn’t have to create them in the business model, correct? It is crazy that the FKs that exist in the physical layer don’t even show in the business model and the consistency check fails. Any ideas ?

Hi user,
IF u developed the repository in offline mode and which u had given the mappings in physical layer and moved the tables to bmm.After u made this as the current repository(ie online mode).At this time the logical joins will be created automatically.Once this is in online mode if u had given any mappings in physical diagram then it wont affect in the business diagram.So here u need to give the logical join in business diagram in bmm layer for those mappings created in physical diagram.

I need help with a textArea which wont implement a JScrollpane

I have created a text area, but when the words get to the bottom there is no scrollbar. I tried implementing the scrollpane to the text area, but it doesnt work. I added it to a panel, then the panel to the frame.
(Here are the snippits of coding that I have)
public class RPS extends JFrame implements ActionListener, ItemListener
JTextArea textDisplay = new JTextArea(50,30);
JScrollPane jscrollpane = new JScrollPane(textDisplay);
//constructor?
public RPS()
///various menu items in here and buttons with action listeners
public void createPanel()
     JPanel outputPanel = new JPanel();
          outputPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,1));
          outputPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("TEXT IN HERE"));
          outputPanel.add(textDisplay);
//further down
          JPanel rightPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(3,1));
          JPanel leftPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1,1));
     leftPanel.add(outputPanel);
          add(leftPanel);
          add(rightPanel);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          JFrame frame = new RPS();
          frame.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,2));
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          frame.setVisible(true);
}So what I have is a frame, with two panels. One on the left and one on the right. The textDisplay (text area) is displayed on the outputPanel, which is then added to the left panel, then added to the frame. The right panel is for all the buttons which I left out to keep this simple.
Can anyone help me please? All the other irrelevant coding has been left out.
Need help asap please :( I was sure everything is correct.

you add the textArea to the scrollPane
JScrollPane jscrollpane = new JScrollPane(textDisplay);but then you add (only) the textArea to the panel
outputPanel.add(textDisplay);whereas you should be adding the scrollpane to the panel
outputPanel.add(jscrollpane);

Left outer join usage in obiee BMM layer

Hi All,
We lately started using left outer join in our bmm layer , to meet the requirement expectation .
problem : We have two tables Fact A , Dim B . There is an join int_id column to join them . Problem is... in table Dim B , we have 3 millions rows of Int_id and in fact table it is loaded for only data available(1 million rows).
Due to this we are dropping rows in the report ..as it is only getting data where fact.int_id = dim.int_id. So we used left outer join to solve to one particular report .(we know we can do ETl to load dummy int_id and make it null , but it is huge effort ..so we did left outer join)
These days , same kind of reports are in requirement . if i keep on doing same left outer join to meet the requirement in BMM layer ? is there any disadvantages due to this ? any performance degrade due to this ? please throw few lines on left outer join and its usage ?
Thanks,
Sri

Remodel your tables that might be a partition or any other way and follow in BI as per your new model.
Simply: Go for ETL kind of solution

HI there, need help in thinking of a logic.

Good Day!
I'm having trouble thinking of the logic in this simple (but tediously hard for me) problem.
I've got two internal tables, say table A and table B. I need to output records from table A that do not match records from table B. and vice versa.
The thing is, before I can output them, there are 3 primary keys for each table. let's say, ID, Document, and date. I need to match 3 of them to the other table, and if they don't match I would have to print them out.
What I did was.
Loop at TABLEA.
     Loop at TABLEB.
        IF TABLEA-ID NE TABLEB-ID AND ...
        WRITE TABLEA-ID ...
        ENDIF.
     ENDLOOP.
ENDLOOP.
The problem is, let's say table a has
ID: 0
Doc:1
Date: 1
ID:1:
DOC:1
DATE:1
table b has
ID:1
DOC:1
DATE:1
and so on..
the loop will first compare table a with b and if it doesn't match well.. it prints it out immediately. Maybe the 1st record of table A is in the 20th record of table B. So I get multiple unmatches. So now I'm turning to the experts here, hope you guys can help.
I'm not sure if there was a faster way to do this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello
sort tablea by ID Document date.
sort tableb by ID Document date.
loop at tablea.

                                Document = tablea-Document
                                date = tablea-date

NEED HELP!!!! Logical Standby and RMAN.

Hello,
I have a Data Guard env setup on win 2000 with 9.2.0.4.
I now have primary and standby. I was wondering if I create a logical standby to achieve transparent application failover. What I am saying is if the primary node dies, then in tnsnames I want to point to the logical standby, since it is an open database, the users can still perform without knowing the db went down. Then if we indeed need a failover we can failover to the physical standby. This would ensure availability without having to implement RAC or AQ, Right? Also, I read that you should create rman schema (recovery catalog) on standby db. Any thoughts?

Were you able to figure this one out?
I have a similar configuration as you - the same motherboard and an eVga Geforce 3 6600 fanless. With the latest BIOS (3.8) and this video card, the system will not go into Standby completely. I hear the HDD head park and the video goes black, but the LEDs on the front of the PC chassis and the case/PS fans do not stop. Pressing the button to bring the PC out of Standby, rather, whatever state it is in, works.

Join issue OBIEE (BMM Layer)

Hi All -
1. I have following tables:
D1 - Dimension Table
D2 - Dimension Table
D3 - Dimension Table
F1 - Fact Table
We have join between - D1 - F1, D2, F1 & D3 - F1
2. We have some more tables :
D4 - dimension Table
F2 - Fact Table
We have join between - D4 - F2
3. We have some more tables :
D5 - Dimension Table
F3 - Fact Table
We have join between - D5 - F3
Now the scenario is we need to enable joins between all these tables in the logical layer. i created dimensional hierarchies and assigned at the total level for the fact tables. but it is not working.
can anybody please lookinto this issue?
Thanks

I noticed that if you create the FK in the physical layer BEFORE moving the columns into the Business Model layer it will keep them when you bring them over, but if you create the columns in the BM layer then made the physical joins you have to go back and join in the BM layer.
Unfortunately if you'll lose anything in the Presentation or Business Model layer if you remove it from the BM and want to re-join.

Need help on OBIEE 11g. RPD or Analytics

Hello,
I have a requirement.. for which the data in columns(in database) needs to get counted based on conditions and should be displayed in Rows in the reports.
Example below
The data in the table is as shown below.. in columns
Eng_code     Math_code      Read_code
1     2     1
1     2     2
2     3     3
U     2     U
3     1     U
In the report the data should be displayed as below...
     Total
Eng     xxx
Math     xxx
Read     xxx
I dont have this Eng, Math, Read flags in the table and I have to derive them based on the columns. I'm trying to get this using a case like
case when Eng_code in ('1','2','3','U') then 'Eng'
when Math_code in ('1','2','3','U') then 'Math'
when Read_code in ('1','2','3','U') then 'Read'
But I'm getting only 'Eng' as the result. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi User,
It seems to be you need a Count( Engg_Code), Count(Math_code), Count(Read_code) and show all of them Under same Column Total.
Create Logical column in Rpd to calculate those counts.
Logical column 1 -> Name it as 'Total Eng Codes' -> Count(Engg_code)
Logical Column 2 -> Name it as 'Total Math codes' -> Count(Math_code)
Similarily even for Read_code.
This shows count of those values like 200, 400, 600 individual.
But, if you want to show Like Eng 200, Math 400, Read 600.....
Then cast the same column using this one Concatenate (Eng ||Total Eng Code)
similarily, all the three.
Take a column Conc(Eng || Total Eng Code) custom name : Total.
Now, using union by similar request or else, by writing case statement read other two values.
Using similar request- Take intially, one column. (Apply union - click on combine similar request)
- Now take second column.
Similarly add as many number of columns as required

Hi Balakrishna,
Thanks for your support
I have applied but I am not getting the column in the output columns from the custom sql function.
As per the procedure we are using the all conditions like between and month or date conditions to find the count of distinct months.
If we use partial conditional in the custom SQL and partial conditionals in the lookup condition clause is it give the same result?
How can we get the field of custom sql in the output field.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramana.

Need Help regarding separate GUI and logic class

Hi,
I was given this assignment and I'm stuck big time.
Basically I have a GUI class for a stopwatch interface.
public class WatchGui implements Gui{

    StopWatch stopwatch;
    public WatchGui(){

        minutes = new JLabel("00");
        ActionListener al = new MyActionListener(stopwatch);
        b1.addActionListener(al);
    // Called to connect a watch to the GUI
    public void connect(Watch w) {
    public void setDisplay(String mm) {
         minutes.setText(mm);
    public void addComponentsToPane(Container pane) {
        pane.setLayout(null);
        pane.add(b1);
        pane.add(b2);
        pane.add(minutes);
        Insets insets = pane.getInsets();
    public void createAndShowGUI() {
        //Create and set up the window.
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("XXX");
        frame.setResizable(false);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        //Set up the content pane.
        WatchGui Pane = new WatchGui();
        Pane.addComponentsToPane(frame.getContentPane());

}I have a watch class which function as the engine for the stop watch

         mm = String.valueOf("100");
     watchgui.setDisplay(mm);

     public MyActionListener(StopWatch stopwatch) {
          this.stopwatch = stopwatch;
     public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e) {
          stopwatch.runStop();
}To get the StopWatch to work, I have this driver class

      throws Exception
     if( args.length!=1 ){

     Constructor c[]= cl.getConstructors();
     if( c.length==0 ){
         System.err.println("There is NO constructor in your watch class");

     Watch w=(Watch)c[0].newInstance(new Object[0]);
     Gui g= new WatchGui();
     //Connect them to each other
     g.connect(w);
     w.connect(g);
     //Reset the components()
     g.reset();
     w.reset();
     //And away we go...
     try{

          Thread.sleep(10); //milliseconds
          w.tick();
     }catch(InterruptedException ie){
         System.exit(1);
}My currently problem is that when i click on the button in the GUI, it will go to MyActionListener class and call the runStop method.
public void runStop() {
     mm = String.valueOf("100");
     watchgui.setDisplay(mm);
The problem is that when watchgui.setDisplay(mm) is called, exception is thrown instead. I'm suspecting it has something to do with the initialization of watchgui. Can anyone advice?
