Obi 10g - essbase 11

hi, experts,
I dont know much on oracle essbase.
how to set the rpd to connect essbase?
in call interface dropdown list in connection pool, I can only see ODBC, OCI and XML.
Thank you very much!

Depending on the version you're using, you should see the option to Import from Multidimensional. I think it should be under the File menu.

Install OBI 10G in Windows 7

Hi Guys,
We are planning to install OBIEE 10G(Version 10.3.4.2) on Windows 7. What version of JDK is required for OBI 10g to run on windows 7. Can someone please provide the steps involved. Will OBIEE 10.3.4.0 works in windows 7.
Please help.

Hi, I succesfully installed OBIEE 10g on my Windows 7 (Ultimate) machine. Now I am not able to connect to Oracle 11g database. When I tried to configure through START->Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> DATA SOURCES (ODBC) ---> ....I am seeing Oracle 11g in System DSN but I am unable to see OBIEE driver in system DSN. I am seeing it in user DSN. So is all other 32 bit applications like MS Acess, Excel, etc., are all in user dsn. When I open OBIEE Administration tool, I can only see Analytics Web and nothing else.
Please assist me. Thanks in advance.

Error importing a table from DB2 in OBI 10g

Hello,
I am trying to import a table from DB2, but I have the following issue:
*[nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: S1000 code: 29986 message: [IBM][Controlador ODBC de iSeries Access][DB2 UDB]SQL0901 - Error del sistema SQL..*
Steps I have done are:
1) Create System DSN
Driver: iSeries Access ODBC Driver
2) Create a new database
Database souce definition = Database DB2/AS400
3) Create a new connection pool -->
Call interface: DB2 CLI (Unicode)
Datasource name: System name (specified in the System DSN)
I have tested with System DSN name too
Username: username DB
Password: pwd DB
c) Import table: File --> Import --> from Database
Connection Type = ODBC 3.5 and I select the System DSN created
I am working with OBI 10g (10.1.3.2.1) in Windows Server 2003 Enterprise and the DB2 is OS400 V5R4.
Thank you and regards,
Mónica.

Hi,
I have installed the DB2 client and from Access with the same ODBC is possible to import tables, but I don't understand why I can't do this operation from Administration Tool.
Do you know how can I test the ODBC? Or if it is possible to see the error with more details (any log file)? I have tested a lot of things, but I can't solve the issue.
The PATH system variable is right:
D:\oracle\bise1\bi\server\Bin;D:\oracle\bise1\bi\web\bin;D:\oracle\bise1\bi\web\catalogmanager;D:\oracle\bise1\bi\SQLAnywhere;D:\oracle\bise1\jdk\bin;D:\oracle\bise1\db\bin;D:\oracle\bise1\owb\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\TOOLS;C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\CLIENT~1\Shared;C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\CLIENT~1;C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\CLIENT~1\Emulator;
And in the path that it is mentioned in the error I can find the dll.
Are being doing any wrong step to import a table?
Thank you and regards,
Mónica.

OBI 10g merge 2 time dimensions on the same table/graph in analysis

Hi,
My problem is: I have 2 different analyses (working fine) (using OBI 10g), they both use a different time dimension:
time_dim_1 | fact1
time_dim_2 | fact2
I want to merge them to have something like the following:
time_dim | fact1 | fact2
What I managed to get so far is something like this:
time_dim1 | time_dim2 | fact1 | fact2 (with, if we suppose there are 12 rows in time_dim1 and time_dim2, 12*12 = 144 rows instead of just 12)
Here is some more explanations about how I set my repository:
My fact table "issues" is made of the following columns:
issue_id, issue_type, issue_create_date, issue_end_date
I also have a table "calendar" with year, quarter, month and full_gregorian_date.
In the physical layer I created 2 aliases for the "calendar" table to join with the fact table using "issue_create_date" and "issue_end_date".
In the business model I created the 2 related time dimensions.
Everything is working fine so far, I was able to get 2 different analyses :
- time dimension (joined with "issue_CREATE_date") | count of issues (with aggregation rule "count" on issue_id)
to see how many new issues are CREATED through time (are there more issues created or less)
- time dimension (joined with "issue_END_date") | count of issues (with aggregation rule "count" on issue_id)
to see how many new issues are ENDED through time (when are more issues ended)
What I want is a third analysis like this:
- time dimension | count of created issues | count for ended issues
Thanks for your help.

did you set the content level as well?

Mike,
IIRC the cube source should be able to handle it if you map the column with 2 sources: unmodified for the DWH and as substr("Cube"."LogCol1" from 0 for "Cube"."LogCol1"-4).

OBI 11g and OBI 10g pointing to the same database

Hi guys!
I have a questions. On my PROD server I've installed database and OBI 10g. I want to install now OBI 11G on a separate machine and point repository to the same database.
Is it possible? Will it cause any problems?
With regards,
PsmakR

Hi,
Should not be an issue. When you install 11g, it will create few default schemas, provide your prod db details so that obiee related schemas will reside in prod db.
You should not have any issue in migration.

Obi 10g - pre run the reports by schedule?

hi, experts,
I have 2 questions on obi 10g
1)
the server cache is enabled.
it is because the boss' time is expensive.
he doesnt wanna wait for the refresh of reports
are there any means to pre run the reports so that they can read the reports directly, no need to wait for the refresh time.
2)
If the a big set of data is already loaded.
if users need to read the data from subset of the big set data, does OBIEE load subset data from the cache directly?
or fire another sql to get the data again?
thank you very much!

Hi Stephen,
the nqcmd.exe occupies all the cpu resources to display the resuilt on the command prompt.any ways to handle this case?If you have lot fo records this happens,If your doing this manually to re-build the cache write the SQL and add where condition so you can purge according to the where condition filter.....next again you change where condition and again purge it.
2) run the nqcmd command to load the dataIn second point why are you loading date,you need to purge/delete data that is existing by using NQCMD command then chk NQquery.log
I would say follow the steps exactly given in the blog mentioned above,then you get success (OR) in the same blog in comments there is user guide link check out
If answered,award points.

OBI 10g skins to download?

Hi All,
Does anyone have any OBI 10g skins which they have designed which they are willing to share (upload online)?
I know there is a lot of documentation on how to create your own skin, however it would be great if we had a resource of skins developed by other users which could be used or amended.
Thanks,
Lance

After Upgrade OBI 10g to 11g:Odbc driver returned an error - SQLExecDirectW

Hi all,
for an OBI upgrade from 10g to 11g I used a RPD and Webcatalog based on a remote machine other than my local machine. Firstable I am making the tests on a Linux Virtual machine, which uses the Sample Lite version from Oracle.
I made the following steps:
1. I upgraded the RPD and Webcatalog. It worked without any errors.
2. I set the static variable BI_EE_HOME via Administration Tool to the path in the Linux machine.
--> Here I am not sure if the set path is correct. It begins with: \bi\ ...\instances\...\coreapplication_obis1 (... : I can't mention here the whole path name).
--> When the OBI Server is installed in Windows, the mentioned static variable points to something like 'C:\<install folder>\...\coreapplication_obis1'
--> Question: is the begin of my set path correct?. I set that pointing to the Linux OBI Server, because the OBI Server is installed on Linux.
Problem:
After login as the user in RPD: Administrator/<Password for my upgraded RPD> I can see the links in the Catalog and the Dashboards links. But I can not see any values, any Reports when going through the links.
For example when trying to see a Dashboard with date 12.02.2011it happens:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Status: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] general error.
[nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.
[nQSError: 43119] Query Failed:
[nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 12154, message: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
at OCI call OCIServerAttach.
[nQSError: 17014] Could not connect to Oracle database. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT "Dimension_-_My Dimension"."MyDimension" saw_0 FROM "Accounting (ACC)" WHERE "Dimension_-_My Dimension"."MyDimension" LIKE 'J%' ORDER BY saw_0
I think its not retrieving the data from the remote database, because I don't have the data of the remote database in my local. I think the OBI Server still is pointing to the local virtual machine Oracle database.
Can anybody tell me what happens here and how can I solve this problem?.
I would appreciate any help....

Hi gerardnico,
I've tried many things and did as in your articles, but I don't have success with that.
These are the things I did:
1. I searched for the file tnsnames.ora in my Linux virtual machine. I could find it in many paths:
/.../Oracle_BI1/network/admin/samples/tnsnames.ora
/.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/hs/admin/tnsnames.ora.sample
/.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
/.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin/samples/tnsnames.ora
/.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin/temp/tnsnames.ora
/.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin
in the last path I found the listener.ora as well.
2. I took the tnsnames.ora from the last path, because the ORACLE_HOME points to /.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
3. I edited the tnsnames.ora this way:
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File:
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host_of_the_remote_machine)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = database_name_of_the_remote_machine)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = database_SID_of_the_remote_machine)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
4. I made a backup of the tnsnames.ora in path /.../Oracle_BI1/network/admin/samples/tnsnames.ora
and copied the tnsnames.ora from /.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin to the Oracle_BI1 path
5. I set the TNS_ADMIN to /.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin
6. I restarted the BI Server
No success in what I did. The error is still there.
7. I've tried also: sqlplus database_user_remote_machine/database_password_remote_machine@database_SID_remote_machine
I didn't get the connection:
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Thu Jun 16 04:36:10 2011
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.

Enter password:
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available

Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
What am I doing wrong here?. I am still thinking that I need the import of the database.
Additional SID=Service-Name=Database-name in the remote machine.

OBI to Essbase Connectivity Problems

We are trying to connect OBI 11.1.1.5 to Essbase 11.1.1.3. We are able to import essbase cubes into the rpd, and even view the members of those cubes while the rpd is in offline mode. When the bi server is brought back up however, every query we run against the new subject results in:
View Display Error
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Error Details
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: 96001] Essbase Error (HY000)
This error is hardly specific enough (yes I have checked the manuals) for us to troubleshoot the issue. In addition this rather large problem we did notice that we are unable to view the members of the essbase cubes in the rpd when the rpd is opened in online mode. Is this significant? Our OBI install is pointing to an 11.1.1.5 essbase client file - is this also a problem (since the client file is newer than the version of essbase that we are running)?
We have tried everything we can think of to get this to work. Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
We are facing the same issue, just that our OBI version is 11.1.1.6.2 (BP1 patch applied) fetching cube from Essbase 11.1.1.2.1. I tried many approaches but none of them worked.
Were you able to address this issue? If yes could you pls give us any pointer.
Any help on this is highly appreciated, since we have go-live in few days.
Problem in nutshell: Am able to import the cube from in offline & even in online mode. But able to see data only in offline mode but not in the online mode.
In Online mode, am trying to connect to the rpd hosted on IBM AIX 64 bit mode OS, where as in offline mode, am accessing the local rpd.

Integration OBI EE - Essbase

Hi
I get an error when viewing a Essbase cube in Answer. I have in metadata the connection to Essbase and I have created Business Model and Mapping and Presentation layers. In Criteria tab of Answer I can view the all dimensions defined in RPD, but when I try to view result the error showed is "State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] There was a general error. Essbase Error (HY000)"
My environment.
My OBIEE Server, version 10.1.3.4.1, on a Linux machine x86. This machine also have installed Oracle EPM Clients 11.1.2 (32 bits). I have set the essbase env variables in user.sh file.
My Essbase Server, version 11.1.2, on a Linux machine, x_86-64. Also this machine have Shared Services, and Report & Analysis.
I appreciate any help with this error.
Andrés Solar.

Hi all...
The problem has been solved, the solution was to install the Essbase version 11.1.1.3, because it is the latest version certified for OBI 10.1.3.4. By doing this the problem was solved.
The oracle support SR 3-205005527 is associated with this solution.
Best Regards.

Date format in prompt OBI 10g

HI Experts,
I have requirement for date format mm/dd/yyyy need to change dd/mm/yyyy . I used the following the query but giving error:
EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' ,"SI - Creations & Modifications
Dim"."Première Date de Valeur" , 'DD-MM-YYYY')
nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 22027] Union
of non-compatible types. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' ,"SI - Creations &
Modifications Dim"."Première Date de Valeur" , 'DD-MM-YYYY') FROM SI
Regards
Birudu Gopal

Hi,
Sorry for mistaking your questions.
Try the below ways of changing the format in the prompt:
-In the physical layer in the Properties try to change the DATE_FORMAT.
-By editing the globalfilterprompt.js we can avoid the conversion of Date value to DateTime in prompt.
For this we need to comment the below code in globalfilterprompt.js in both 1) C:\OracleBI\web\app\res\b_mozilla\prompts
2)C:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res\b_mozilla\prompts
//convert datetime; sTimeZoneOffset is '0' if data type is not datetime or type is 'drop'
/*var sTimeZoneOffset = tArgs[3];
if (typeof(sTimeZoneOffset)!='undefined' && sTimeZoneOffset != null && sTimeZoneOffset !='')
var nOffset = parseInt(sTimeZoneOffset,10)
if (typeof(nOffset)=='number' && nOffset != null && !isNaN(nOffset))
var tDTP = new DateTimeParser();
for (var i = 0; i < tValues.length; ++i)
tValues = saw.tz.parseAndAdjustTimeZoneOffset(tValues, nOffset);
-EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' ,"Dim- Date".Start Date,'DD-MM-YYYY')
-In Physical layer of Repository, change the Data type of your Date_Column to DATE data type.
-In Dashboard Prompt, you have option to for SQL,write the Logical SQL or Advanced SQL as below:
select cast("COLUMN_NAME" as date) from "PresentationLayerName"
Hope this helped.
Regards
MuRam
