OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 Repository Variable data type

I have some dynamic DATE variables created which fetches date values from a table. In the table the data type for that field is INTEGER.
But on starting the server all date variables are initialized with .0d appended in the end. LIke 2012.0d etc.
Kindly provide some pointers!
Thanks
KC

Of Course we can do that.
Your substring should not be in init block, it suppose to be where you are referring rep variable.
In your prompt to set default values use sql query something like
SELECT Time."Month" FROM "SA" WHERE Time."Year"=SUBSTRING(VALUEOF("PREVIOUS_MONTH") FROM 1 FOR 4)
If helps pls mark ;)

OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 - Upgrade Assistant hangs

Hi
On a new obiee 11.1.1.6.2 BP1-installation i tried running the upgrade assistant to upgrade my obiee 10g repository/catalog. On a 11.1.1.6.0 testsystem this worked without problem.
On the new system the upgrade assistant hangs in step 3 after configuring the source files and clicking next.
Did someone discover any similar behaviour or has a solution to that problem?
Thank you

we have figured out the problem. It was due to the issue outlined in Oracle Doc Id 1410233.1. the upgrade agent may fail if the IP address is not set. When manually set the Listen addresses for the Admin and Managed servers in the WebLogic Console, and the Listen addresses for CoreApplication in EM, everything worked. ua.bat could not proceed until IP address manually specified in WebLogic console and EM as per Oracle Doc ID 1410233.1.

OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 SSO with AD not working on MAC OS 10.6.8

Hi Experts,
We have setup SSO in our production with OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 version and Active directory. All seems to work fine on all browsers. But on MAC OS 10.6.8 when we use Safari 5.1.7 it doesn't work. But when we use the application on MAC OS version 10.7.5 and safari version 6.0.1 and it is working fine. Can anyone please let me know if you have come across the scenario and the solution for this. In windows it works perfectly fine on all browsers. Only this version of MAC and Safari is giving us the trouble.
Thanks in advance for any solution provided.

JavaScript and Cookies are enabled. my cookies list shows at least 3 associated with hulu. Funny thing is, if I grab the up/down control bar on right side of screen with my mouse, then hulu plays in a somewhat chopped frame by frame. As soon as I let go, the frame freezes yet audio portion continues.
I don't know what a munged Hulu cookie is, however.

How to pass the prompt value to repository variable in obiee 11.1.1.7

Hi All,
I am given a tabular report to build in OBIEE 11.1.1.7 version using insurance data.
I have to show different types of claim names and their corresponding count in the table. One of the calculations require me to use the total no of claims(i.e sum of all the claims).
Example:
Total No of claims: 600
Total No of Auto Claim: 60
I have to create a table on Auto Claim like:
               claim types       count
                    X                    10
                    Y                    20
                    Z                    30
I was calculating total no of claims by using dynamic repository variable as it was a constant value. Example: repository_variable1: select count(claim ID) from Insurance; In report I was just using value of (repository_variable1)
Now client has asked us to give date prompt so the total no of claims (assumed as 600) will change with respect to period. I can calculate total no of claims with respect to different claim type (as shown in the table above) with respect to period filter in the report.
The problem I am facing now is, I need the count of all the claims on a partucular period too. Repository variable is giving always calculating the count as 600. But the count should change with respect to period selected. How to get this value?
Can I create a presentation variable in the prompt and pass this value as an argument for repository variable?
Please help. I am in urgent need of the solution.
Thank you.

Hi Srini,
I tried creating it as metric. But the problem is my pivot table is on Auto Claims.
Let me try to make myself a bit more clear.
Total No of claims in fact table: 600
Total No of Auto Claims in fact table: 60
                claim types(auto claims)       count        Calculation
                    X                                        10             10/600
                    Y                                        20             20/600
                    Z                                        30             30/600
So I need to access total no of claims to calculate. I cant use a metric as the count will take group by with respect to auto claim type and give value only for X claim.

OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 not formatting properly to PDF using Acrobat 9 Pro

We have upgraded to OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 and are using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. With Version 10 I was able to format reports that, when printed to PDF, maintained the report format such as repeating the column headings, font style and size, number of rows per page and column width. With this new version the only thing I can control appears to be the column width. No other format styles are recognized. I've tried custom CSS Style settings as well setting everything individually but to no avail. Any thoughts?

OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 - Sample Application (V207)

Hi Experts,
i have installed OBIEE 11g with patch released recently i.e. OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1. now i wanted to have look into Sample app, but when i go the link mentioned below for downloading. it downloads some VM files. is ther any link to download RPD,webcat,along with other database dump file. in short like stuff provided in SampleApp V107 Install Files (Manual install files - not Virtual Image )
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/obiee-samples-167534.html
Appreciate your help.
Cheers

Hello Lalitha,
I found the reason:
the scripts on the Desktop 5-for APS.sh and 6-for EAS.sh are not working correct.
Immidiately after the scrips are done with there jobs to start the target components the just stated processes are killed due to the closing of the terminal windows.
This seems to be an ugly bug.
I'm using the folowing workaround:
Just type an additional command right ater the ordinary call in the sh:
"read dummy" (of course without the ")
This makes the terminal window staying open (because waiting for your input) and thus keeps the processes running. But do not press enter ...
There surely may be a more sensible way to accomplish this. However I'm not a linux guru.
Is someone out there to give us a more robust idea?
Regards
Andre
Followup:
No, just realized for 5-StartEssbAPS.sh it is even worser:
I have to:
1. open an new terminal window,
2. cd to the target directory: /home/oracle/epm/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/bin
3. and from there start the script: ./startAnalyticProviderServices.sh
now the terminal windows remains open and the service alive.

OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 Patch Issue

Hi folks,
I applied the latest OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 patch earlier today. This was for a standalone instance and I didn't encounter any issues with the patching process itself. However, afterwards when I logged into Answers/Dashboard, the homepage looked very strange. The entire header component is missing, including the Oracle logo, the dropdown menus for dashboards, favorites, search text field, signout link etc. The Create section in the left pane is also empty. Everything else on this homepage looks fine. When I navigate to the catalog via the Browse/Manager section, the catalog comes up fine along with the previously missing header! So the header is only missing on the homepage.. Very wierd.
Would appreciate any hints on how to troubleshoot this.. Can I manually fix this is in one of the xml files? I'm hoping not to have to go back and re-do the patching!
thanks,
Axe

I think dhar is referring to the cleancat script to clean up the catalog binary cache. Here is the notes from the BP1 installation:
Clarification on the cleancat script: You may want to first navigate to the locations listed in the script to see if the files exist in your environment (they may not). If they do not exist, then you may scip running the patch. Additionally, the script may fail with an error. If that happens, go to the directories the script is trying to delete and delete them manually (if they exist).
P.S: I have manually deleted these files by navigating to the directories after installing the patches.
For Linux: cleancat.sh
================================
#!/bin/sh
# Cleanup catman binary cache
echo "Cleaning up Catalog Manager binary cache"
rm -rf $ORACLE_HOME/bifoundation/web/catalogmanager/configuration/org*
echo "Done"
For Windows: cleancat.cmd
================================
echo off
echo Cleaning up Catalog Manager binary cache
IF EXIST
%ORACLE_HOME%\bifoundation\web\catalogmanager\configuration\org.eclipse.osgi
rmdir /S /Q
%ORACLE_HOME%\bifoundation\web\catalogmanager\configuration\org.eclipse.osgi
IF EXIST

Using a repository variable in a column in BP1

I'm having a problem in 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 that I've not had before.
I'm creating a column in my business model, and its formula is a repository variable called "Current Month". When I create it, the formula prepends the name of the initialization block which sets it. So instead of VALUEOF("Current Month"), I get VALUEOF("Set Times"."Current Month").
When I move that into the presentation layer and attempt to use it in Answers, I get this error:
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: 14020] None of the fact tables are compatible with the query request Repository variables.Current Month [ Current Month : 'Jul-2009' ] . (HY000)
However, if I just manually create a column in Answers with the formula VALUEOF("Current Month"), it works just fine.
So it appears that when the name of the initialization block is automatically prepended by the expression builder when defining a column in the repository, the column won't work. It feels like a bug. I've never experienced this with earlier versions of the software.
Any workarounds?

Dpka, the situation is actually a bit curious. I have two different repositories. Repository "A" started its life as a Sample Sales repository, and the variables work on that one. Repository "B" was created from scratch, and the variables fail on that one.
I'm investigating the potential differences. I'll report back here.

KPI doesn't filter according to the repository variables- obiee 11g

Hello all,
I have created a KPI that contains the following dimensions:
Year, Monthname, Trn_date
I have also created some 3 repository variables:
CurrentYearRepoVariable: holds current year (select to_char(trunc(sysdate, 'yyyy'),'yyyy') from dual)
CurrentMonthRepoVariable: holds current month (select to_char(trunc(sysdate, 'mm'),'MONTH') from dual)
and TodayRepoVariable: holds current day (select trunc(sysdate) from dual)
I added the KPI in a KPI watchlist and added as filter for Year, Monthname, Trn_date the CurrentYearRepoVariable, CurrentMonthRepoVariable and TodayRepoVariable accordingly.
When I “analyze” the KPI I don’t see the results for the current day as if the filters are not correct. I can see from the repository that the variables have the correct values. I have also created an analysis where I applied the same filters and the result is the correct one. It seems that the KPI doesn’t seem to “see” the correct values of the variables. I have also tested with an agent and it doesn’t seem to work either.
The OBIEE version is 11.1.1.6 .
Can somebody help with this? How is it possible with the analysis to see the correct result but not with the KPI and agent?
Thanks in advance,
Konstantina

Sorry I was wrong in my previous thread.
Actually your approach is not correct, Product Number choose constraint that will show as per the selection of Product Name.
Coming to default value for Product Number you are going for sql override that is okay but not work with variable, instead of setting default values for product number set that to product name.
if not you need to go for 2 different prompts
Prompt 1 Product Name hit GO
Prompt 2 will work based on as you defined earlier with variables
Hope this helps
