2. What are the new functionalities added in SAP ERP 6.0 EHP5 on SAP FI side.Finally what is difference between EHP4 and EHP5, i mean in the point of SAP FI functioanliy.
In the meantime, please provide me the links where i can get complete information on the new functionalities added on FI side in these Enhancement Packages (ie 4/5).
Yours answers would help me a lot to understand the concept.

Enhancements packages contains tens to hunderds of new or changed functionalites (called business functions). After installing an enhancement package you can activate the business functions which can be usefull to you.
To have an idea which business function can be usefull, you can use the business function prediction. Based on the (FI) transactions you use in the system, it gives an advice which business functions in an enhancement package should be activated.

Questions regarding new functionalities in EhP 4 - Reporting Financials 2

Dear Forum,
in a project we would like to use some new functionalities from Reporting Financials 2 - ie. Datasource 0FI_AA_20 for Depreciation and Amortization loading to BI for following years as this can not be done by old extractor.
We are know looking for reliable information about impact and changes that are made in ERP if we switch on the functionality Reporting Financials 2 via SFW5? Will old extracors work nevertheless? Will all reports in ERP work without problems? Is there any impact on business processes? Or is this just additional functionality which will not affect current implementation?
Can anybody give information about this?
Thanks, regards
Lars

Marc,
Some additional questions regarding locking.
I encounter that the dataset that is locked depends on the restrictions made in the 'Characteristic Restrictions'-part of the query.
Restrictions in the 'Default Values'-part are not taken into account. In that case all data records of the characteristic are locked.
Q1: Is that correct?
To give an example: Assume you restrict customer on hierarchy node in Default Values. If you want people to plan concurrently this is not possible since all customers are locked then. When customer restriction is moved to Char Restr the system only locks the specific cutomer hier node and people can plan concurrently.
Q2: What about variables use in restricted keyfigures like variable for fy/period? Is only this fy/period locked then?
Q3: We'd like to lock on a navigational attribute. The nav attr is put as a variable in the filter of the Characteristic Restrictions. Does the system then only lock this selection for the nav.attr? Or do I have to change my locking settings in RSPLSE?
Then question regarding locking of data for functions:
Assume you use the BEx Analyzer and use the query as data_provider_filter for your planning function. You use restricted keyfigures with char Version. First column contains amount for version 1 and second column contains amount for version 2.
In the Char Restrictions you've restricted version to values '1' and '2'.
When executing the inputready query version 1 and 2 are locked. (due to the selection in Char Restr)
But when executing the planning function all versions are locked (*)
Q4: True?
Kind regards, Harjan

Error while deploying new RPD in obiee 11g

FYI , I succesfully checked in the RPD , tried restarting all BI services and re-login into EM . But the error still exists .

Thanks for your replies !!
In any of the RPD deployments I'm getting the same error , not for some particular RPD .
FYI , yesterday (before this issue) I had a issue with starting presentation services , so as adviced in forum I replaced the files sawguidstate and sawguidstate.atrin the location:
<Instance_Home>\instances\<instance_name>\bifoundation\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\catalog\<project>\root\system\mktgcache\<name>
with the same files from a backup or from another working OBIEE 11g (11.1.5)instance.
plese refer : Re: Unable to start presentation services , in OBIEE 11g
Is this causing the deployment issue ?

Issue adding a new column to OBIEE presentation layer

Hi,
I am pretty new to OBIEE so this may be a silly question. I am facing some problems trying to add a new column from a physical table the OBIEE presentation layer.
Below are the steps I followed:
Task: add a product category set to the presentation layer.
Steps:
1) First verified that the product category set is being populated in the W_PROD_CAT_DH table in the datawarehouse. this was done by running the following sql
SELECT W_PROD_CAT_DH.TOP_LVL_PRODCAT_NAME
FROM W_PROD_CAT_DH, W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D
WHERE W_PROD_CAT_DH.integration_id = W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D.INV_PROD_CAT1
This sql gave the right category value.
2) created a "Alias" of the table W_PROD_CAT_DH in the OBIEE Admin tool physical layer. (done by right clicking W_PROD_CAT_DH >>New Object>> Alias)
3) named the Alias of W_PROD_CAT_DH as "Dim_W_INV_MKT_CAT" and created a key of the alias named "integration id" on the column "integration_id"
4) opened the pre-existing alias of W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D the alias was called "Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D" and added a key called "MKT_CAT" on the column "INV_PROD_CAT1" in this alias (Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D of the table W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D)
5) in the alias of the "W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D" called "Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D" added a "Foreign Keys" the expression of the key is following: ("Oracle Data Warehouse"."Catalog"."dbo"."Dim_W_INV_MKT_CAT"."INTEGRATION_ID" = "Oracle Data Warehouse"."Catalog"."dbo"."Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D"."INV_PROD_CAT1")
Logical layer
6) Opened the existing logical folder called "Dim - Inventory Product" and clicked on "Sources" tab then double clicked the source "Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D" and added a new mapping under "Map to these tables" under "General" tab. The column that was added was the physical alias "Dim_W_INV_MKT_CAT"
7) added a new column mapping to the same logical table source (Dim_W_Inventory_PRODUCT_D) this new mapping was a column from the alias "Dim_W_INV_MKT_CAT" (column name "TOP_LVL_PRODCAT_NAME")
Presentation Layer
8) dragged the newly added column (TOP_LVL_PRODCAT_NAME) from the logical layer "Dim - Inventory Product" to the presentation layer "Product" folder.
ISSUE
after adding everything and checking global consistency and save and checking-in my work when i login from the front end presentation services. I see the newly added column is showing under the "Product" folder. on dragging the column by itself to the Ad-Hoc analysis I can see the different values of the category. On adding a second column from the same logical folder (Dim - Inventory Product in logical layer) i still see the right product name and corresponding category. BUT when I drag any other column from any other folder (such as "Day" from "Time" or any fact values) the result does not fetch any data (message: The specified criteria didn't result in any data.)
I am not sure if I am missing any step but I know I am mapping the new table alias to the inventory_product_d since i see right results on creating analysis of columns in those two folders. but no other folders give me any data.
I also know that the logical folder "Dim - Inventory Product" is joined with other tables as I can see results when i do not add the newly added catagory column but other folder and other columns of "Dim - Inventory Product"
I would really appreciate any insight to this very much. we are using OBIEE 11.1.1.6 with the Oracle 11.5.10 Adaptor (SDE_ORA11510_Adopter)
I will try to upload some screenshots if needed but presently not sure if its something really simple.

Hi Prassu,
thanks for the responce. and Apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
1) 1.First of all set the logging level to 3 in the admin tool save it.
You can get the SQL query from here

Clarification on new feature in OBIEE 10.1.3.4 - Metadata Dictionary

Hi,
I need clarification on this new feature "Metadata Dictionary" available in 10.1.3.4. This is documented in the OBIEE NEw Feature Guide, http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10416.pdf, page 17.
I have a potential customer who wants to know if OBIEE has a facility to help business user come up to speed with the available subject areas, tables and columns. This will help them learn about the business content available so they will know which subject areas/columns to use to build ad-hoc report development. Does the new feature "metadata dictionary" support this requirement. Can you point me to where I can play or learn more about this feature?
Thanks!
Khai

First and foremost: did you already try it out? In general, yes a metadata dictionary can achieve what you're asking for, but the devils as always in the detail and/or in what the users accept.
Simply follow the steps outlined in Venkats blog here -> http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/08/23/oracle-bi-ee-10133-metadata-dictionary-statistics/
...and then see if this satisfies your needs.
Cheers,

How to create new user for OBIEE presentation service

Hello Guys
I now only have 2 users on my OBIEE, demo1, demo2.. Now I'd like to create a new user call A and make this new user able to log on to OBIEE presenation service..
So I went to the RPD admin tool and created new user there and gave password. It was done online mode and I checked out..
I am able to login to admin tool with the new user account, but when I go to presentation service, I am not able to see this new user nor would I be able to log on using the new user account..
So how does this work? If I wanted to create a new user and let it access dashboard, I'd I do it
Any pointer will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi.
actually there is no option available in presentation service to create user. There you can just delete user and create and delete the groups.
Anyhow, you said you have created a user in rpd.
To see this user in answers, you must login into answers with this user once.
are you able to login with the newly created user?
(As you said you done the creation of user in online mode, this may not effect to the answers)
if not, just login with administrator into answers, click on reload server metadata, then log off from there.
Now, try to login with the new user. You may able to login.
OR
just restart your BI Server services.

New Fonts for OBIEE Answers

HI,
We are using OBIEE 10, on Linux platform. We have an urgent requirement to utilise a new Font in the OBIEE portal. In particular, when we select a column in the Answers, we should be able to get this font in the Column Properties->Style -> Font ->Family.
Also this should be set as the default font in the dashboard. Currently the OBIEE restricts the Font selections to default 10. I need to either add a new one , or replace existing one. Can someone suggest the files to be modified?
Regards
Jay

Last Year Inovice Total need to be calculated in a new column in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have a measure Net Invoiced Amount, and now my client is asking to get a new column in which last year's Net Invoiced Amount total needs to be calculated.
We need to select the Dates dynamically, it is 2012, so the column should the invoiced amount total for 2011, if it is 2013 then amount should be 2012. Can we do this in RPD. If so, please tell me how.

Hi,
Method1:
TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_DAY , -1, TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_DAY , EXTRACT( DAY_OF_YEAR FROM DATE Column) * -(1) + 1,
DATE Column))
Note: create alias table from your fact (call it as fact table name_YTD) Join th aliases to the dimension tables exactly like how your normal fact table is joined to the aliases, except for the time dimension.
Method 2: by using Time series functions (Ago fxn)
Ago(<<Measure>>, <<Level>>, <<Number of Periods>>)
Example:Ago("Human Resources"."Fact - Absence"."# Days" , "Human Resources"."Time"."Year" , 1)
Method 3: if your using obiee11g --> from analysis itself you cand solve it
AGO(expr, [time_level], offset)
Thanks

Opening a webpage in a new TAB in OBIEE 11G

I am working on Action Links in OBIEE11g where I am supposed to open a webpage in a new TAB from a report using Action Links. I am able to open the link in a new window but not in new tab. Is there any solution for this? Any help would really be appreciated!

CSS will not help you at all (style sheet can make your link nice and colorful, but will not any impact on what the link does).
JS is the same, it will not help you because tab/windows is subject to the user settings (JS works into the webpage, but has no control, luckily for all of us, on the browser itself).
Srini VEERAVALLI gave you the answer, the same (just different place) is valid for FF or Chrome.

New line in OBIEE Reports

Hi, I have function which is returning Member Address ( Address line1 , Address line2, city , state and zipcode) in format of '1010 \n 9th Ave \n JERSEY \n NJ\n 07386' . But in PDF report /HTML reports it showing in same line but I want to put atleast city state and zip code in new line...
I tried <B> also...but its not working..any idea ?
Thanks

Hi user1666637,
the [br] pseudo-HTML function in the narrative view gets translated successfully on transfer to PDF. Your solution might be:
Address line1, Address line2,[br]city, state zipcode
This would render:
Address line1, Address line2,
city, state zipcode
Hope this helps,
Justin
