Numeric data is not displayed in BI Publisher 11g report

Hi,
I'm using Oracle BI 11g (11.1.1.6.0).
I'm experiencing a serious issue with numeric data in reports created with Publisher.
When I define the query in the data model, numeric data gets declared as "integer" (even if it should be "double"). Anyway, when creating the layout all data is correctly shown.
The issue emerges when I run the report in interactive mode: numeric data is not displayed at all.
If I run it in HTML mode or other, I get proper results.
I tried to explicitly CAST numeric data in the query to number(21, 6) but I get no different result.
Any help or suggestion is warmly welcome.
Thanks,
Cristina

Yes, assuming that you are using the Standalone version, following are some excerpt from user guide.
10g see Oracle® Business Intelligence Publisher
Report Designer's Guide
Release 10.1.3.4
Part No. E12187-01
Chapter 6 Building a Data Template
Supported Column Types
CLOB (conditionally supported)
The CLOB must contain text or XML. Data cannot be escaped inside the CLOB column.
And for 11g see
Oracle® Fusion Middleware
Data Modeling Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher
Release 11g (11.1.1)
Part No. E18862-01
Chapter 3 Creating Data Sets
Using Data Stored as a Character Large Object (CLOB) in a Data Model
BI Publisher supports using data stored as a character large object (CLOB) data type in
your data models. This feature enables you to use XML data generated by a separate
process and stored in your database as input to a BI Publisher data model.
Use the Query Builder to retrieve the column in your SQL query, then use the data
model editor to specify how you want the data structured. When the data model is
executed, the data engine can structure the data either as:
• a plain character set within an XML tag name that can be displayed in a report (for
example, an Item Description)
• structured XML

Pages not displaying properly in Publisher instances as we activated the page from Author

HI All,
Pages not displaying properly in Publisher instances as we activated the page from Author. In author it is working well but in Pulisher it is showing first 2 lines of the page and then showing error as
Apache sling/2.2 Hot Spot ****** Sun OS error
Please help me on this.IS this issue with the templates or components are we using?

Ok, then let's go the long way and try to reduce the number of possible root causes:
1) Is your problem reproducible on this publish? (I suppose it is)
2) Is it reproducible on other publishs as well, which have received the same page with the same application?
3) Can you reproduce it on other replicated pages as well?
4) When you upload a page to such an affected publish via a content package, does this page render correctly?
5) Does this problem appear on other environments as well?
6) Do you use dispatcher when you get this result? Or do you get it when you request the page directly of CQ5?
7) What's the HTTP statuscode when you render this page? You can see it in the request.log of CQ5.
If you change logging via Felix Console, you don't need to restart the instance.
kind regards,
Jörg

How can i reorder the columns in the do not display section of the interactive report.

Hi,
My interactive report contains 185 columns, and the user requieres to build his customized reports with some columns, but the he gets lost between this amount of columns, this would be easier if the columns in the do not display section of the interactive report would be sorted automaticaly, Is this possible?
Thanks a lot,

Hi Eva,
One solution would be to order the column names alphabetically. You can create a JavaScript dynamic action to handle the sorting.
The shuttle of the IR attribute "Select Columns" have the ID's "apexir_SHUTTLE_LEFT" or the Hidden colums and "apexir_SHUTTLE_RIGHT" for the displayed columns.
The function you'd need to create would look like:
var options = $('select#apexir_SHUTTLE_LEFT option');
var arr = options.map(function(_, o) { return { t: $(o).text(), v: o.value }; }).get();
arr.sort(function(o1, o2) { return o1.t > o2.t ? 1 : o1.t < o2.t ? -1 : 0; });
options.each(function(i, o) {
o.value = arr[i].v;
$(o).text(arr[i].t);
var options = $('select#apexir_SHUTTLE_RIGHT option');
var arr = options.map(function(_, o) { return { t: $(o).text(), v: o.value }; }).get();
arr.sort(function(o1, o2) { return o1.t > o2.t ? 1 : o1.t < o2.t ? -1 : 0; });
options.each(function(i, o) {
o.value = arr[i].v;
$(o).text(arr[i].t);
You'd need to find the propper timing for the dynamic action to run, I guess click of the button "Select Columns" would do the trick.

Hi,

for example in database :start date ='01-oct-2003'
in the except it displays to 02/06/02.
It seem all the date field can not be control in the report, and control by somthing else
Doese anyone come accross this problem?
Thanks

Hi Rong,
Are you using the following demonstration to build your JSP?
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/index.html
(Output to Excel with Oracle9i Report)
I tried to do the same, and inserted a database date field in the JSP using Reports. I found the following:
While making the template inside Excel, if I make sure that the format of the date cells is "Date" - some particular date format, the date field values from Reports does not get exported correctly.
However, if you make sure that inside the template, the format of the date cells is not date, but "General", then the date field values are correctly exported to Excel.
Pl try it and let us know.

Text data is not displaying at Report level for an Infoobject Item name

Hi All,
Texts data is maintained at Info object level but text information is not displaying at Report level for an object. I have set the property at query level as "Text", but at report level it is displaying key values of the object, not displaying texts information. This problem occured in QA(Quality) system but not replicated in Production system. I have checked all properties at backend and query level and compared the same between QA and Production system didn't find any difference.
Please suggest what might be the cause: at report level it is displaying key values instead of the textual information even text data is mainintained at backend. In production it is displaying textal data for the IO.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
Thanks for your valuable information. I have changed the setting under Advanced tab as "Master data" for Access type for results values, but didn't solved the problem still it showing key information for the IO.
In Production system the report displaying texts information for the IO, but in QA its displaying key information. The problem exits only in QA, its working fine in DEv and Production.
As per my understanding might be the issue with Patches will be checking with Basis team on the same.
Please suggest if you have any alternatives to fix the issue.

Date comparision not working in BI-Publisher in one scenario.

Hi,
Iam using sqlquery as a datamodel for BI-Publisher report. I have a requirement that the input parameters startdate and endate are Date types. When the user enters startdate and enddate and clicks on view, the report should show data which falls in between those dates.
Here is the sample query i used.
select * from
table1
where begintime >= :p_StartDate and begintime <=:p_EndDate
Here begintime is a timestamp and p_StartDate and p_EndDate are just dates. So when comparing begintime with p_StartDate/p_EndDate, i guess its taking default time from that date and because of that the comparision is failing in 1 case. i.e, In the above query, though the comparision operator is >= or <= , ultimately > or < is getting effective. So to acheive the actual result, I need to give one day more for start and end dates.
However I found a way to acheive this without adding extra day to both the dates. Here it is :
select * from table1 where
( begintime >= to_timestamp(to_char(:p_StartDate) || '00 00 00', 'DD Mon YYYY HH24 MI SS')) and
( begintime <= to_timestamp(to_char(:p_EndDate) || '23 59 59', 'DD Mon YYYY HH24 MI SS'))
But the above is working in sqleditor like jdeveloper database navigator. But not working in BI-Publisher.
BI-Publisher is throwing error saying
"ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string"
Please help as to how to go about this problem or any alternative solution.
Thanks & Regards,
-Vijay-

Hi,
I think it will be fine to trunc the begin time since :p_StartDate and p_EndDate are just dates without time stamp
i.e:
select * from
table1
where trunc(begintime) >= :p_StartDate and trunc(begintime) <=:p_EndDate;
any problem with this.Please share the thought.
Best Regards,

Cache settings in BI7. Data still not displayed correctly in RSRT

Good day
Please assist? I did scan SDN for a similar problem and did check the CACHE settings in RSRT etc.
My problem is: If I check the data in the DSO, then the updated information that was loaded yesterday is displayed. When I run the query, it does not display the last loaded information. I have run the query in RSRT and the updated information does not display either. I have changed the cache properties of this query to different settings already, and running the query from RSRT, with no success.
I also checked the query itself (design) It is not restricted to anything. User selects 0CALMONTH as variable only. I have logged out and in again after each Cache setting, no success of displaying the updated DSO information.
Can anyone please tell me why the query does not pick up the latest information from the DSO?
Thanks in advance.
Cj

Hi Cj,
Is the last request marked as Ready for Reporting? This needs to be the case before the latest data comes up in the query.
Hope this helps!

Query on Multiprovider - Data is not displayed correctly

Hi,
I have two cubes in a multiprovider.
1st has following Characteristics :
1. Service Order
2. Product line code
3. Cost Center
4. Fiscal Period
5. Fiscal Year
6. Actuals - Key Figure
2nd cube has
1. Product Line code
2. Cost Center
3. Budget type
4. Fiscal Year
5. Fiscal period
6. Budget Amount - Key figure
I have a query to display: Service Order, Product line, cost center, fiscal period, actuals and budget amount.
When I execute I get 2 rows:
1 st row displaying - Actual values with all the data
2nd row displaying Product line and Budget with all other fields containing '#' sign or "not assigned" .
I will appreciate if you can tell me what mistake I am doing. I have checked the multiprovider 'Identification' - all the fields are selected.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Jitendra

Hi Jitendra,
This is because you have got service order charcterstic in 1st cube only and does not exist in 2nd cube. when you try to display Service order, you will get two records. If you remove service order from display of query, you will be able to see one record as charcterstics are common in both cube.
If you want to display service order and wud like to resolve this issue, try the following:
Restrict Budget amount with characterstic service order and right click it and select Constant. Then execute the query.

Hi ,
Check this for testing purpose :
Afer you have binded the internal table to the node , check if node has some vlaues in it or not :
Use this code to get the data of node into an internal table and see if the node is getting populating with data or not :
DATA lo_nd_cn_table TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
    DATA lo_el_cn_table TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
    DATA ls_cn_table TYPE wd_this->element_cn_table.
DATA it_table TYPE wd_this->elements_cn_table.
*   navigate from <CONTEXT> to <CN_TABLE> via lead selection
    lo_nd_cn_table = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_cn_table ).
*lo_nd_cn_table->get_static_attributes_table( IMPORTING table = lt_table).*
<CN_table is my node binded to table.>

Data is not displaying though Master Infoobject data has been maintained

Hi All,
I have created a Master Infoobject and maintained data manually.
Also activated the master data.
But Iam unable to see the data I manually entered, when Im trying to Display Data at the right click of the infoobject.
Can someone plz suggest me y this is happening?
Note: I have already checked the object in RSRV and it shows no error

Hi,
1.Can you please check that you have pressed "SAVE" button after doing the necessary editting in the maintenance screen of the master data...
2.Again please rightclick---->maintain master data, and check whether your records are present there or not..if there are not present, again maintain and save
3.Check whether your info object is active
4.are there any time dependent attributes...
if there are, i guess only the records valid for the current date will be displayed when you select display data option....check this by adding the records for which the current date lies between datefrom and dateto values.
5.Is there any DTP...or transformation, you have to schedule the DTP to update ...
Thanks,
Tarun Brijwani.

RH7 - Custom WebHelp Pro skin custom "Print" button does NOT display in version published to RH Server 8

I customized a WebHelp Pro skin using the Omega skin as the basis. Everything works fine except the Print button, which I added using the same Action as shown in the BeautifulVista skin's Print button.
Local Version (C: drive)
When I generate my help project and view it locally from my C: drive after I accept the warning about viewing locally, I see the Print button.
However, it does NOT work. I've attached a graphic that shows the local version and the skin dialog where I set up the action for the Print button.
RH Server 8 version
When I view the same project after I publish it to the server, the Print button does NOT display.
QUESTIONS ARE:
How do I get the Print button to function properly (active printer dialog)?
If it can't work until it is published that fine but then how do I get it display when I view from server?

Hi there
Have you tried editing your Window Definition?
