OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.5...)Column Selectors and Action Links

All,
I think we have bug - we have a column selector for 3 columns. One of them is configured to navigate to another analyses page (we have only one action link configured) . we have checked the option - "Do not display in a popup if only one action link is available at runtime". The issue is the pop-up still shows up even if there is only one action link. The issue is only for a column group.
Please let us know if anyone has figured out a work around.
Thanks

OBI Column selector and Condition step

In OBI 11.1.1.6.2 I have an analysis which contains a column selector, a pivot table and a regular table. The pivot table uses the fields of the column selector.
In this configuration it is not possible to add a condition step to the regular table. Only when removing the column selector view it is possible to add a condition step.
I know that it is possible to create a dashboard that uses two analysis: one pivot table with the column selector and one regular table with the condition step. But this is not what I want.
I am not sure if this is a works as designed thing, or that it is a bug. If it's works as designed, than I would have expected a message that it is not allowed to add a condition step when a column selector is present.
Does anybody have experience with this?
Thanks,
Bas

OBIEE 11g - serious problem when rotating columns into "table prompt" area

Hi, I'm hitting an OBIEE 11g issue that's causing huge problems on reports. Essentially, the problem is this - if I dump all the columns of a query to a table, everything looks fine. But if I rotate one of the columns into the "table prompts" area, OBIEE is actually resubmitting a WRONG query. The query format changes from:
WITH
SAWITH0 AS (select sum(T38965.ORIGINAL_BUDGET) as c1,
T12637.ORG_ID_DESC as c2
from
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNT T12582,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ORG T12637,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNTING_PERIOD T12597,

D1.c2 as c2,
D1.c1 as c3
from
SAWITH0 D1
order by c2 ) D1 where rownum <= 65001
and changes to:

I completely do not understand what is going on here. The second query has a ton of problems. First off, it's doing some type of UNION operation - no idea why it's doing that. And the real problem is that it's unioning results from a different fact table, FACT_LEDGER_period instead of FACT_LEDGER_ytd, which is completely screwing up our results.
Long and short, I simply don't understand at all why the query should change just from rotating a column up into the table prompt area.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,
I see the query to be valid with each CTE doing the following Jobs.....
1. I understand that this particular query is being generated to get the unique "ORG_ID_DESC " to fill up the table prompts.
SAWITH0 AS (select distinct T12637.ORG_ID_DESC as c1
from
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNT T12582,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ORG T12637,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNTING_PERIOD T12597,
GL_ANALYTICS.FACT_LEDGER T38927 / FACT_LEDGER_period /
where ( T12582.ACCOUNT_KEY = T38927.ACCOUNT_KEY and T12597.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD = T38927.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD and T12597.FISCAL_YEAR = T38927.FISCAL_YEAR and T12582.STATEMENT_TYPE_CODE = 'Income Statement' and T12597.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD = 11 and T12597.FISCAL_YEAR = 2012 and T12637.ORG_KEY = T38927.ORG_KEY and T38927.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD = 11 and T38927.FISCAL_YEAR = 2012 and (T12637.DEPARTMENT_CODE_DESC in ('D0200 - Arts Administration', 'D0206 - Film Studies')) ) )
2. This particular query is to get each prompt value and its corresponding data
SAWITH1 AS (select sum(T38965.ORIGINAL_BUDGET) as c1,
T12637.ORG_ID_DESC as c2
from
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNT T12582,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ORG T12637,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNTING_PERIOD T12597,
GL_ANALYTICS.FACT_LEDGER T38965 / FACT_LEDGER_ytd /
where ( T12582.ACCOUNT_KEY = T38965.ACCOUNT_KEY and T12582.STATEMENT_TYPE_CODE = 'Income Statement' and T12597.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD = 11 and T12597.FISCAL_YEAR = T38965.FISCAL_YEAR and T12597.FISCAL_YEAR = 2012 and T12637.ORG_KEY = T38965.ORG_KEY and T38965.FISCAL_YEAR = 2012 and (T12637.DEPARTMENT_CODE_DESC in ('D0200 - Arts Administration', 'D0206 - Film Studies')) and T12597.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD >= T38965.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD )
group by T12637.ORG_ID_DESC)
3. This particular query, I understand is to get the following data (Sample data) relating the prompts and their corresponding data
column (c1) ;column (c2 ie ORG_ID_DESC); column(C3 ie sum(T38965.ORIGINAL_BUDGET))
0;               ORG_ID_DESC1; NULL
1;               ORG_ID_DESC1;10
0;               ORG_ID_DESC2;NULL
1;               ORG_ID_DESC2;40
0;               ORG_ID_DESC3;NULL
1;               ORG_ID_DESC3;29.8
SAWITH2 AS ((select distinct 0 as c1,
D1.c1 as c2,
cast(NULL as DOUBLE PRECISION ) as c3
from
SAWITH0 D1
union all
select distinct 1 as c1,
D1.c2 as c2,
D1.c1 as c3
from
SAWITH1 D1))
4. The last select statement does nothing but selecting the needed data which later gets arranged in the format as needed by the OBIPS
select D1.c1 as c1, D1.c2 as c2, D1.c3 as c3 from ( select D1.c1 as c1,
D1.c2 as c2,
D1.c3 as c3
from
SAWITH2 D1
order by c1, c2 ) D1 where rownum <= 65001
Now, on the table being chosen for picking up "ORG_ID_DESC" might be pretty much depending on the best source available as you know. If you would like BI Server to pick up any particular source, probably you could try the "LTS Priority Group" way.
Hope I was clear and it helps.
Thank you,

OBIEE 11g: Use presentation variable in Column Heading

Hi everyone,
I was playing around with sample app dashboards and I saw a dashboard prompt that they converted into a column selector. I liked it and reproduced it in my own sandbox.
I like the results, however, I would also like to change the column heading to clearly reflect which measure was selected. It's pretty clear when you are looking in the dashboard, but once you export the data, it can be confusing which measure was selected.
That is why I would like to use a presentation variable in the column heading section. I tried to do this but it interpreted it as a literal instead of evaluating the statement.
Is there anyway to get a variable in the column heading?
Thanks!
-Joe

Hi,
Have a look at the following links:

Define presentation variable in column header
hope it helps.

Calculated Items and Action Links (OBIEE 11g)

Hi,
On OBIEE 11g here...
I have an anaylsis which shows a pivot table with only 6 columns of calculated items, with all of the standard columns hidden. The split of the pivot has been achieved using a variable created using the bin function.
I have set an action link on the measure shown in the pivot table to navigate to another analysis and, while clicking on one of the measures in a pivot column runs the specified report, it is not run using the the necessary parameters required to match the dataset shown in that particular column.
Is it possible to drill to a separate report and pass through the required filters from a measure showing in a calculated item, as it would be on a measure showing in a standard pivot table column?
Thanks,
Ang

You need to have 'Is Prompted' for that specific measure. I would suggest to use action links on other columns instead of metrics.
Pls mark as correct/helpful if helps

OBIEE 11g: How to send email from Analysis (via Action Framework)

Hi,
I have installed OBIEE 11g SampleAppLite in my POC box.
One of the features I want to have is to allow users to send their feedback (email) about a report to the report owner. Can this be done without launching Outlook? I tried to Invoke a Browser Script and found that I can display a form showing Recipient, Subject and Message text fields, but I do not know how to send the email.
Thanks!

Hi Devarasu,
Thanks for your reply. The link you gave is for sending iBots. But if I do this, users will not be able to send their feedback / comment.

OBIEE 11g installation - Weblogic server on one host and obiee on another

Hi
I am doing obiee11g installation with the following topology:
1. Weblogic on one Linux Host
2. OBIEE on another Linux server
I am able to successfully complete the weblogic installation and i started the obiee on the another machine. The installation fails at the following point:
Specify Installation Location :
Oracle Middleware Home: /u01/app/oracle(This is the where i have the question - This should be weblogic server location where you hosted on another machine. It should ask me for host name or ip address)
Oracle Home Directory
Any one did the installation with the above and how to overcome the above issue.. Should i share the drive using nfs mount or any other solutions. Your help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Can u clarify below questions?
Do u have both servers on the same network?
Thanks.

Weird behaviour of OBIEE 11g hierarchy columns

Hi,
I'm facing this weird issue when i implement the OBIEE 11g new feature called hierarchy column.The issue is that the last value in the hierarchy is reporting
Example
Store Heir-achy
->Store Country
->Store City
->Store name
->Store Name
->Store name (And the level goes on and on).
I don't know why this weird thing is happening.Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sunny.

Thanks for the response, in regards to whether it is 1 or 2 Logical Facts, it is still the same behaviour. IN regards to the Logical Dimension, yes it is set with two LTS with the applicable content levels set. I even tried that as just 1 LTS doing the join through the General tab. Still the same behaviour with the drill-down. I am assuming it will always go through the full drill path regardless of what level the Fact you are hitting is at.

Unable to import table or columns in OBIEE 11G RPD

Hi All,
We are unable to import table into the RPD using OCI 10G/11G to import the table then the import box open but we are unable to see the tables below the schema name. When we use ODBC 3.5 and created a DSN for the database then we are able to see all the tables and import them. But the problem here is that when we are using window server 7 64 bit to install client and then importing the table ODBC is not working fine as well.
Please note that we are using OBIEE 11G which is installed on unix box and we connect to RPD using client installed on windows server.
Appreciate all the help in advance.
Thanks,
Mohit

Hi Sayak,
This means we need to installed Oracle client to resolve this problem. Can you please share if you have some knowledge regarding the same.
Thanks,
Mohit

Cannot get into 'Dashboard Properties' (OBIEE 11g) using IE 8

When I enter an OBIEE 11g dashboard (as an Administrator) and click on "*Edit Dashboard*" & then click on "*Dashboard Properties*":
1) the "*Dashboard Properties*" box pops up but...
2) only the upper porting of the "*Dashboard Properties*" box displays
3) the lower portion of the box never displays...it just stays all white. This portion is where the grid that would normally display the list of dashboard pages (where I could choose to hide pages)
4) at the bottom left-had part of my browser, it says "*(11 items remaining)*"
5) my browser stays locked like this & the only way to get out of it is to ctrl+alt+del
Several things to note:
1) I'm not sure when this started happening, but I noticed it sometime last week. I know in the past I was able to get into the dashboard properties, but now I cannot.
2) I am on OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0
3) I am on Win7 32-bit
4) I am on version IE 8.0.7601.17514
5) I can run OBIEE in Firefox and edit the dashboard properties just fine. This issue does not seem to exist in Firefox
6) If I change to "*compatibility view*" in IE 8, I seem to be able to go into the "*Dashboard Propeties*" box just fine...HOWEVER, when I try to go into "*Edit Dashboard*" (while in "*compatibility view*") many of my objects (columns/sections) overlap & are weirdly placed all over the screen.
7) I have tried modifying the httpd.conf file as per the official Oracle white paper relating to OBIEE 11g in IE8 (Doc ID 1312299.1) and it didn't seem to fix my issue
8) I have also tried uninstalling & re-installing IE8 but that also did not seem to fix my issue.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, any suggestions on what one might do to fix it?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Good suggestion. I have tried IE 8 and 9 and Firefox with the same results. An error is thrown in IE 8:
"Message: Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus."
I believe this is referring to the fact that it cannot move focus to the username text field as the field is not displayed.
Another note, our steps for upgrade were as follows so not sure if this is part of the problem:
1. Install 11.1.1.3 OBIEE
2. Upgrade to 11.1.1.5 OBIEE
3. Run ua.bat for publisher schema and repository
4. Now, do not see username/pw at login and thus cannot login

how to remove the space?If I understand your issue correctly, you are casting number columns to char and then concatenating, but in the results you are seeing some spaces, right? If that is the case, when you are casting, make sure you define the length of the char, for example:
Cast(NumberField as char(10)) || Cast(Varcharfield as char).

OBIEE 11G Performance Threshold

OBIEE 11g / Teradata
Is it worth the time and effort to build OBIEE Dashboards / Reports from a database having 500 million records. If not then what is an acceptable number i.e. 100 million? Thanks in advance.

Hi Titas,
with such problems typically, at least for me, the cause turns out to be something simple and embarrassing like:
- I am connected to another database,
- The database is right but I have made some manual adjustments without committing them,
- I have got the wrong query from the query log,
- I have got the right query but my request is based on multiple queries.
Do other OBIEE reports work fine?
Have you tried removing columns one by one to see whether it makes a difference?
