OBI Analytics Application

We have installed OBIEE on Windows XP and we have created some reports / dashboards using the seeded SH repository. We would now like to go to the next level of using Oracle BI Analytic Applications. To do that I have some questions.
1) Do we need to install Oracle BI Analytic Applications on top of OBIEE?
2) If so where can I download the Financial BI Analytics.
Please advise us of how to proceed further.
Thanks

Installing OBIA 11g - stuck at Business Analytics Applications Suite RCU

Hi.
I'm installing OBIA 11.1.1.7.1 in windows machine and the database is in linux server. I've completed till ODI installation. While running Business Analytics Applications Suite RCU installer, i got stuck in custom variables (step 5 of 8).
I have created directories in the database server and copied the dump files to the respective directories.
For Custom variable value, i have tried entering the directory name and the directory path for each component. But it runs for a long time(more than 3hrs) and doesn't go to the next step.
Please help me to resolve this issue. Also please let me know if i have missed something.
Thanks.

Calendar Analytics application won't install with MS Office 2013 on PC

I use Calendar Analytics, a Microsoft approved application, to analyze Outlook Calendars for utilization rates within my facility. It has worked well for me for several years. Since I
upgraded to Microsoft Office 2013, I cannot get Calendar Analytics to install on my PC. I receive an error message stating Office Shared Tools is required and I should run Office 2010 setup to install Office Shared Tools.
Please assist me in locating a way to resolve this issue either by installing the required version of Office Shared Tools or installing a compatible Outlook Calendar Analytics application
which will provide utilization information from Outlook calendars.
Benny

Hi Benny,
The Calendar Analytics Tool allows users to connect to their Microsoft Exchange Calendar and get dashboard views on meeting statistics inside Microsoft Office Excel 2010.
Therefore, to use this tool, please note that Calendar Analytics works only with the latest versions of Microsoft® Excel 2010 and of Microsoft PowerPivot for Excel 2010. To download Microsoft PowerPivot for Excel 2010, please go to
www.PowerPivot.com.
For more information about this tool, please refer to the System Requirements part in the following article:

Installating additional BI Analytics Applications

Supposing that you have a running Oracle Business Intelligence Applications install with Financial Analytics Applications (7.9.6.1). Thus, the installed module was Financial Analytics and the database schema and the OBIEE RPD were created for Financial Analytics.
If you need to install HR Analytics into the same database, how do you go about doing it ?
The Oracle Business Intelligence Applications installation documentation does not seem to explain how to install a new module into an existing environment.
Hemant K Chitale

Several things to keep in mind..the SB schema (tables, etc) is not specific to any module..it should install the DB schema and tables for all module (FIN, HR..etc). However, if you only ran the ETLs for Financials Subject Area..then only those tables will be populated. So with regard to DB you should be fine. Second, the DAC can be configured to run additional subject areas. So for instance, if you want to runa HR on top of Financials, you can simply configure the HR subject areas in the DAC and reassemble the subject area and rebuild the execution plan. Also, note that BI Apps has conformed dimensions..which means that tables are shared across subjct areas..so its best to run the loads together. Regarding the RPD, I assume you can "enable" or install the HR objects just like you did for Financials.
If this is helpful, please mark the respone as correct or helpful.

Existing MDG Analytics Application

Hi all,
What is the difference between the Existing MDG Analytics Application and the Smart Business for SAP Master Data Governance ?
Are both one in the same? Why should we go for the Smart Business for SAP Master Data Governance ?
Shruti

Smart Business is an innovation that adds many features to the existing Data Analytic reports. First, it utilizes the power of HANA. Second, the Smart Business dashboard contains many different KPI's that you can view on the fly without having to explicitly execute reports.

Siebel 7.7 Analytics Applications Developer Exam

I am interested in getting certified in Siebel Analytics (Developer, Server etc). But i got trained by non-oracle institute. Is it possible for me to go for this exam?.
Since Oracle is stressing that everyone should undergo training through Oracle training institue. Is this rule still in force?
Thanks

From the official page, you can see that 1Z0-620 is required to be able to pass the certification. "Analytics: Application Developer(Siebel 7.7)" and "Analytics: Advanced Application Developer(Siebel 7.7)" are recommended but not required to pass this exam (or the OBIEE/A equivalents). So theoretically you can go for the certification as soon as you've completed 1Z0-620.
Cheers,
C.That's not how I've read the information on this page. It also states +"Due to the decreasing availability of the Siebel 7.7 Analytics courses, Oracle Certification will accept the Oracle BI courses toward Analytics certification. However, please remember that the Siebel 7.7 Analytics courses remain the best way to prepare for these exams and Oracle BI courses may not sufficiently help prepare candidates."+
This means to me, that you must have either followed the Siebel Analytics courses or at least one of the new Oracle BI courses (from Oracle University of course) to get certified.

Project Analytics application

Hi All,
Am trying to implement/configure the 'Oracle Business Intelligence Applications' and specifically interested in 'Project Analytics' package. Can anyone please tell me whether I need to be using Data-Warehousing techniques, as the release notes only specifies 'Configuration Guide for Informatica users' ?
Can anyone please pass on a good reference for me to proceed.
Thanks,
Karthic

Hi Karthic, the document you specifies is the correct guide for the configuration for OBIA. Follow the steps enumerated in the charpter 3 "Configuring Common Areas and Dimensions" and Charpter 15 "Configuring Oracle Project Analytics". Then, you need to create a execution plan that contains the proper subject area to extract projects information and run it.
Hope this could help you.
Regards.

How to... Integrate BI Document Store and SAP Analytics Applications

Currently we are trying to implement the how to document mentioned above.
What we are trying to realize is to implement a textbox functionality in a SAP BI dashboard. The how to is written in 2006 for SAP EP SP8. We are using now SP16 and the whole part where you define the correct webservice paragraph 3.6 of the document isn't functioning correctly.
Can anyone help me on this topic...? Is there a new How to document that works with SP16...?
With Kind regards and thanks for your help,
Pepijn Simonetti

Seem to have fixed the problem.
By adding a filter before the table view it seems to allow a slight delay which allows the file types to load and the IF statements run correctly and display the correct images for the various file types.
Still seems that there is a slight Visual Composer Issue there? (but now with a work-around)

Upgrade Siebel Analytics 7.8.2 RPD to BI Applications 7.9.6.1 RPD

We are upgrading from Siebel Analytics 7.8.2 version to BI Applications 7.9.6.1 version. The Siebel Analytics RPD is customized and having custom catalogs which are based on Pharma tables and the Core model is not at all customized. So, I have followed the steps specified in section 'Upgrading the Oracle BI Repository for Industry-Specific Analytics Applications' of Upgrade guide. Its known that there are some datawarehouse changes occurred between these versions. One of these changes are,
W_ORG_D of Siebel 7.8.2 is replaced with W_PARTY_ORG_D in BI Apps 7.9.6.1,
W_PERSON_D of Siebel 7.8.2 is replaced with W_PARTY_PER_D in BI Apps 7.9.6.1.
In order to upgrade the RPD we need to make use of MAP file that comes with the installation of BI Apps 7.9.6.1. For this process I'm using the map file rename782-796.map while equilizing the RPDs. But I dont find any information related to the above schema changes in the map file even though they are Oracle shipped ones. So, after doing some analysis I have listed the Alias tables created on top of W_ORG_D in 7.8.2 RPD and similarly in 7.9.6.1 RPD and specified the mapping information of these Alias tables in existing MAP file. Equlized the RPDs using the modified MAP file and done the merge process. But I'm observing some issues like the merged RPD is having both W_ORG_D and W_PARTY_ORG_D tables in all the three layers. Can I get any help on fixing this issue.
Thank You,

Any idea on the above issue?

Audio Dial-In: 888 967 2253 Audio Meeting ID: 572994 Audio Meeting Passcode: 334451
Web Conference: https://conference.oracle.com/imtapp/app/cmn_jm_hub.uix?mID=150764532
BIWA Wednesday TechCast Series - Sixth Event!
This presentation will showcase different options for OBIEE-based Analytical Reporting such as:
1) Oracle BI Applications for supported Oracle E-Business Suite Modules and other Oracle Applications.
It will include real world experiences for implementing BI Apps Version 7.9.6
2) Custom OBIEE Development against E-Business Suite (when no BI apps are available)
3) Migration of Discoverer EUL to OBIEE RPD using Migration Utility
While OBIEE and BI Apps are clearly the strategic analytics reporting direction from Oracle, only certain Analytics applications are available. Sometimes all customer needs for BI reporting may not be met by these pre-built analytics. For instance, JD Edwards has pre-built ETL connectors only for Financial Analytics. While more BI Apps and ETL connectors are in the pipeline, how can users meet their reporting needs today as they go live in near future? In this session, we will look at several short and medium term solutions without deviating from the long term strategic goal of using pre-built BI applications to reduce the overall risk.
Several real life situations will be evaluated with demonstration of the steps involved such as how to Migrate Discoverer reports to OBIEE with the highest degree of automation. Likewise, we will cover how DBI views be used for custom OBIEE reporting.
Presenter: Shyam Varan Nath is an OBIEE Architect for IBM Global Business Services with extensive experience in implementing OBIEE and BI Apps. He has worked on several Oracle Data Warehousing Projects for customers including Citigroup, Air Force, Land O'Lakes, and Blue Cross Blue Shield Association.

Analytic Application in CE7.2

Hi,
I developed a analytic application to display a pie chart in webdynpro. When I run the application, I am not able to see the pie chart. A small icon is displayed and when I click on that wheel keeps on running but no output is displayed.
Are there any specific prerequisite that we need to follow to run the analytic applications. I am following the PDF "Developing Analytics Applications with Webdynpro for Java".
Please help.

Sharepoint web analytics does not show any data

Hello,
We installed Sharepoint Web Analytics some days ago (separated application pool).
Installation completed successfully.
Search works fine and returns expected results.
But reports still don't show any data :
Data Last Updated: 15.08.2014 02:00:16 There is no data available for this report. Here are some possible reasons: (1) Web Analytics has not been enabled long enough to generate data; (2)
There is insufficient data to generate this report; (3) Data logging required for this report might not be enabled; (4) Data aggregation might not be enabled at the level required for this report.
What I tried :
connect to website using different users (admin user included)
checked that needed services on server are started (especially analytics services)
restart services Web Analytics Data Processing Service and
Web Analytics Web Service
checked that all services applications are started (WSS_UsageApplication status was
stopped so I started it using Sharepoint 2010 Management Shell)
checked service application associations (especially if Analytics Service Application Proxy is checked)
manual execution of jobs (Web Analytics Trigger Workflows Timer Job, Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Import, Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Processing)
manual start of incremental crawling
restart IIS
checked scope of data logging (especially if Enable usage data collection and
Enable health data collection are checked)
checked that the .usage file are generated correctly on the disk
checked in the Logging database (WSS_UsageApplication) that the
RequestUsage view contains data collected from the .usage files
checked that data is successfully extracted from the logging database into the staging database (LastLoggingExtractionTime)
checked that data was successfully copied from the staging database to the reporting database (LastDataCopyTime)
checked on the website side that Advanced Web Analytics feature is
Active
recreate web analytics application
checked for any message in ULS logs that could help... I only noticed that error :
The SharePoint Health Analyzer detected an error. Drives are running out of free space. Available drive space is less than twice the value of physical memory. Can it cause the problem ?
All appears to work fine but I can't see any data in the reports.
The thing is that Inventory data is collected successfully and I can see the related reports. Traffic and Search data are still empty.
Anything else I can try ?
Thanks.

Yes I have granted application pool identity full control on the Web Analytics Service Application.
I also checked that Sharepoint 2010 timer service is started.
I can't see anything in the logs that could help, when accessing the reports. The only thing I noticed is this kind of log which occurs
regularly and seems to be an exception :
Enumerating all sites in SPWebApplication Name=SharePoint - 80.
Site Enumeration Stack:
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPSiteCollection.get_Count()
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.UpdateHiddenListJobDefinition.Execute(Guid targetInstanceId)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPTimerJobInvokeInternal.Invoke(SPJobDefinition jd, Guid targetInstanceId, Boolean isTimerService, Int32& result)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPTimerJobInvoke.Invoke(TimerJobExecuteData& data, Int32& result)
Maybe it can be the cause ?
I have also cleaned the drive where .usage file are generated so the error "Drives are running out of free space. Available drive space is less than twice the value of physical memory." does not appear anymore.

In obiee 11.1.1.6.2 analytics error "Invalid JSON payload ....."

Hi Friends,
We are use obiee 11.1.1.6.2 analytics in both Firefox and IE 7. When we save an report in catalog/shared/newfolder/report1 .After 10 mins or so, when we try to open it again , it pops up an error message about invalid json payload and report comes up correct later. That error only pops up for some fraction of second. Its irritating because it keeps on displaying on screen when you open any saved report . we tried clearing browser cache and still problem exist . I read other thread regarding this ,but could not resolve with their solution . please help
Thanks,
Srikanth.

Could you Clear the browser cache and re-load the page or log in to OBIEE.
if its not working then try to Re-deploy the Analytics Application, using the file $Middleware_Home\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\jee\analytics.ear
Do let me know for any updates?

BI Document Store and SAP Analytics

Hi,
Requirement: Store text in BI system which was entered through visual composer text control.
Background: Im trying to store some text in BI system through CL_RSOD_DOC->SAVE. Text written in visual composer text editor and being passed to the class method Save through bespoke BAPI Z_BAPI_BI_DOC_WRITE. FYI, this BAPI is created through a how-to document Integrate BI Document Store and SAP Analytics Applications by SAP itself.
Problem: Text editor has the ability to format text as paragraphs and tab spaces but when the entered text is retrieved, it comes as a single line; i.e. all the carriage returns are truncated and data retrieved in form of string.
Possible Cause: Data being passed to method Save is through interface field type String, which is then considered as plain text without any formatting. But keep in consideration that receiving parameter of method Save also has type String, so changing interface in outer function wont work.
Can you please suggest any possible resolution of the problem? I want to display the data as it was entered, i.e. with carriage returns, etc.
Regards,
Shabbar

Hi Alessandro,
which service do you need? Did you create all the services, which are described in the document? Also check if your function module is remote-enabled, only then you have access to it from Visual Composer.
Best Regards,
Marcel
