OBI REPORTS DefaultNumericformat is currently $0.00.as It should be integer

We have OBIEE environment setup with version 10.1.3.4.1 and currently For all of our OBIEE reports, for columns where the numeric format is not specified, a default format is used and Currently that default format appears to be currency to 2 decimal places.
I need the default format to be changed to integer (Number – no decimal places).
The other workaround for this is to manually change for each column in each report and change the default data format i.e. Treat Number as “Number” and save the report which is long process as we are having some hundreds of reports and it will take long time to update each column in each report.
As per my knowledge, by default the OBIEE is set to integer(number) and displays the columns values as integer(number) but whereas in our environment, we are getting the dollar with two decimal values for columns where the numeric format is not specified.
Is there any way to change this setting to display the values in integer instead of dollars format ?
I was not involved while setting up the OBIEE environment and not sure about any Server level changes being applied or not ?
Where do we need to check and change the default settings of the appearance of the column contents apart from the front end in OBIEE (either in Instance config xml file or any other server related files)?
Somehow, our BI presentation server is displaying the report values in dollars with decimals instead of integer (number) values.
Appreciate your help on this.
Thanks

Gobby,
This happens when in digital computers some very small errors are made during math operations because some results are not possible to represent perfectly using only ones and zeros. If that is going to be a problem for you, you can use the ROUND function to eliminate the errors by brute force. The most common sensitive area is in invoices where you can be off a penny where large values are involved. You wouldn't think this would be a real problem, but nobody likes to see such an obvious error even if inconsequential.

XL - Reporter - To set current system date as the PARAMETER to run a report

Hi
Version : SAP 2007 B
Patch : 10
Using the XL - Reporter we had designed a stock report as per the client rquested format. In that Report , we use parameter function to get the start date and End date ( 2 PARAMETERS) for which the report should be generated.
Using the Report Organizer , JOB was created for the above report scheduling that the report should run daily night 9 Clock and save it in Local Computer.
Now comes the problem , how to provide the parameter ( Start and End Date - which is nothing but the server date or computer date)
Is there is any way to set the XL-Reporter Parameter - as current date or server date .
Thanks

Link from OBI report/OBI Answers to other application

Hi,
We want to add a link from the OBI report / OBI Answers to our application. Is there a way to create a link on the values displayed and pass values as parameter on that link?
Thanks.

Hello,
You can create a hyperlink within a column formula in Answers. You can use Go Url to pass multiple parameters as well. Check out the OBIEE presentation Services Administration Guide (Chapter 11 I believe).
We have created dynamic hyperlinks in BI report that invokes an Apex page as well.
Hopefully the following link will help.
Dyanmic display of the Image Link URL
Also search the forum.
Hope this helps. Award points if helpful.

OBI Report Refresh automation

Hi All
I am having Oracle Data Integrator as ELT tool and Oracle Business Intelligence as reporting tool. Both are in Linux servers.
I want to automate the report refreshal. My plan for this automation is as below:
When ODI load gets completed, touch a file in my ODI server which will be FTPed to my OBI Server and let the report refresh starts.
However, I have doubt about how to make OBI report refreshing as event based/file based?
Any help/Sugesstion is most welcome as I am stuck up in this point.
Thanks
Karthik

Hi
The problem with this soultion is that what happens if the ETL was not completed at that time?.
For example,
i am scheduling Report A to be refreshed by 0400 assuming the ETL gets completed by 0345 or atleast by 0359. If at some unavoidable circumstances if my ETL load got failed or it gets completed by say 0430, then as per my scheduling the report will be refreshed by 0400 which is not correct.
So I want to have something like, once my ETL load gets completed, I will touch a file/make an entry in table. I want the OBI refresh to be like event based such that only when that file is made/entry is made my report refresh should be initiated.
Its something like event based trigger as we have in BO. Kindly suggest your soultion.
Thanks

"The WmiSE service has reported an invalid current state 0." error continuouls fatched on server 2008 R2.

hello support,
i am using window server 2008 R2 as a web server.i saw error "The WmiSE service has reported an invalid current state 0." in system logs of event viewer, and also continuosly fatched.i want to know why it gives such kind of error and how i can
solve it.

Hi,
Based on your description, I guess that you get Event ID 7016. For this Event,
If a service is not coded correctly to appropriately handle control calls from the Service Control Manager (SCM), the SCM may log this event -- with a invalid current state value of zero (0). For more details, please refer to following article and
check if can help you.
Event ID 7016 — Basic Service Operations
If anything I misunderstand or any update, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Changing ownership of OBI report

OBIEE version 10.1.3.4
OBI integrated with Oracle EBS R12 using cookie base integration method.
A user's last name changed and the help desk personnel renamed the oracle EBS user. However, that has caused the user to loose her reports from he my folder.
Although we can see and the files from he old my folder from server, we cannot change ownership to the new user name.
Is there any way to change the ownership of the OBI reports from the older user name to the new one? I read some articles in google and there are some links that describe how it can be done by manipulating the ATR file.
However I could not relate what was written in those articles to what I see the ATR file I have.
Has anyone manipulated ATR files before to change owners? Can you provide some directions if you have done so successfully?

I have tried that by logging in as Administrator and i can't do that. The system indicates Administrator does not have permissions on the user's old folder or any user's folder.
Any other suggestions? Am I missing something?
Thank you

Approval Status Report, SBO v2007, current data or cumulative?

I run the Approval Status Report while logged in as a superuser, selecting
Document Status: 'Pending',
no limits set in the To/From middle section,
all document types ticked,
and I get a list of document numbers.
I immediately re-run the Approval Status Report while logged in as a superuser, selecting
Document Status: 'Generated',
no limits set in the To/From middle section,
all document types ticked,
and I get a list of document numbers that includes some of the 'Pending' status ones from the first run.
How can the document be in both 'Pending' and 'Generated' status at the same time? Is this report supposed to show me the current status of documents, or all accumulated approval action taken on documents?

Hi Cindy,
Document number in approval is not unique. Same number may refer to more than one document. All draft documents will only be assigned a unique marketing document number until approved and created.
That is probably you can see the same number in the 2 reports
Thanks,
Gordon

Report to display current leave entitlement

Hi,
I am using report RPTQTA10 to display absence quota.
For current year and for a quota type, I expected the report will show projected quota based on current anniversary for an employee. But the report shows past and accrued quotas? It shows quota for e.g.03/10/2007 to 03/09/2008 and 03/10/2008 to 03/09/2009 for an employee (his anniversary date is 03/10).
For employees who's anniversary was in 03/01/2008 to 06/04/2008 (current date), second line is being displayed, which only shows the accrued not projected.
Can you please guide what parameters to use to display the eligibility quota based on his anniversary?
Thanks.

VAT REPORT BASED ON CURRENT LOGGED IN USER

Hi Guys,
I am Working for a client and it they are having 9 branches and for each branch there will be divided by different Series and different Tax Codes and they want a TAX Report based on the User Logged in.Each User Will be Assigned a branch and in the tax code an UDF(Location) has been created and for each tax code location has been entered there.
So when User 1 of Branch 1 is running the report then the report should show only the record of that particular Branch 1 and
     When User 2 of Branch 2 is running the Report then it should show only branch 2 records .
I Tired using an FMS to record the Current User Logged in but i am unable to include this in the below query.
SELECT T0.U_NAME FROM OUSR T0 WHERE INTERNAL_K = $[USER]
In the Below query , the Report needs to be filtered automatically based on the Current user Logged in(User who is running the report).
There will be different Branches and Each Branch has One O Two Licenses and whenever the User1 Of Branch 1 runs the report then the report should display only the record related to that particular branch within the given date range.
So ,to differentiate the Tax codes for each Branches we have created an UDF(Location) in tax codes and enter the branch name in the UDF and also each branch will have 3 different document series and each series.
Instead of Giving the Location as a Parameter to choose we need to filter the report by the User logged in .
