OBIEE 11g Actions and SSL

Hi,
I am attempting to use the action framework within OBIEE 11g, specifically invoke a web service. When I go to New -> Action I get a server error:
An error occured during processing of the SSL protocol
1093359936:error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed:s3_clnt.c:1059
The log viewer in Enterprise Manager gives us
UNKNOWN_CA alert received from [HOST] - [IPADDRESS]. The peer is rejecting the certificate chain as being untrusted or incomplete.
We have SSL on and it is working fine everywhere apart from when I try to create the action. I (and my colleagues) have trawled through all the documentation and googled everything we can think of with no success. Has anyone else seen this or maybe has an idea as to what is going on?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Christian
Thanks for your reply. The BI system is SSl secured so is running over https but I don't even get a chance to select any web service, SSL or not, (or even put in a wsdl url) as the error occurs directly I click on anything that creates a new action. It is therefore an issue with SSL on the BI server itself (or the communication between components) but I am stumped to what it can be.

Usage Tracking in OBIEE 11g - S_NQ_DB_ACCT and S_NQ_ACCT

Hi Experts,
How to fetch the physical query using usage tracking in OBIEE 11g, i hope in OBIEE 11g there is a feature to capture the physical query using S_NQ_DB_ACCT.
I have imported the table S_NQ_ACCT and S_NQ_DB_ACCT in to RPD.
Please let me know how to join these two tables(Using which Key).
Thanks.

OBIEE 11g RPD and case study document required for practice

Hi OBIEE guru's,
Could you please help me by posting OBIEE 11g sample RPD and case study document for creating Answers and Dashboards.
I need to brushup my skills on creating Answers and Dashboards.
Thanks in advance.

Satya,
have you looked at the sample app. This has many different cases and you can "play" with the data yourself. Quite powerful:

OBIEE 11g, Informatica and DAC: Migrating from Oracle DB to SQL Server?

Hi Gurus,
Currently we are implementing OBIEE 11g with Oracle BI Application for EBS (Supply Chain, Procurement & Finance modules). We have incorporated all OUT-OF-THE-BOX mappings and configurations in DAC, Informatica and RPD (no change, only OOTB). We were using Oracle DB and Linux servers.
Now the client wants to migrate this to one Windows box.
Can anyone point out, what are the changes need to done to migrate to SQL Server database. Any existing documentation or link will be helpful.
Edited by: Sudipta Gupta on Aug 2, 2012 1:59 PM

If you are using SQL Server 2008 then you need to edit the DAC config.bat file replace sqljdbc.jar with sqljdbc4.jar.
Rest of DAC and Informatica configuration is almost similar.
Let us if you come across any issues.
Hope this helps

OBIEE 11g Action Link translation issue

Hi All,
I have a translation issue with the Action links in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 version.
The pop-up which is displayed on clicking the column having action link is not getting translated. This seems to be the issue with all the action links.
All other catalog objects, captions etc are translated properly.
Has anyone faced similar issues ? Is there a workaround for this ?
Thanks for any pointers.

Action links are not getting translated. I faced a similar problem in OBIEE 11.1.1.6 version.
What you can do is replace that action link with a 'link or image' option in dashboard objects.
'Link or Image' types of object get translated in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 as well as OBIEE 11.1.1.6 version.
hope this helps.

OBIEE 11g Hierarchy and Fact interaction

I have an issue where I don't know if OBIEE functionality will allow for the behaviour requested. I have 2 Fact tables, one at the Date grain and one at the Date Time grain (Hours and Minutes).
We have two Physical dimension tables (Time and Date). The Date snowflakes off the Time. My intention was to create one Logical Dimension (Date Time) and set up the appropriate Levels (Year | Month | Day | Hour | Minute).
The Logical Layer consists of two Logical Facts, each with one LTS. And the one Time Date Dimension. The LTS for the Fact at the Date grain has its Content Level set to Day. The LTS for the Fact at the Date Time grain has its Content Level set to Minute.
The behaviour I am seeing is that when a user runs an Ad-hoc request and selects, lets say Year, Month, Metric from Date grain fact. The default behaviour allows them to drill down from the Month to the Day, which is expected. What wasn't expected was that the default drill-down is still active on the Day column in this request. When the user drills into the Day column it returns the Hours with the metric now NULL. I would expect the metric being NULL as this Fact isn't at this level. What I wasn't expecting was the tool allowing the user to be able to drill past the Day when the Fact being hit has it's Content Level set to Day.
I am missing something here or is this the expected behaviour?

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.

OBIEE 11g - zeros and nulls and rows, oh my!

Hi, dumb question here, but I need some help with handling zeros and nulls with OBIEE.
First off, I have a fact table that contains five "metrics" - A, B, C, D, and E. Often (but not always), only 1 of the 5 columns is populated, the others are NULL.
In the RPD, I've brought in these 5 columns and set their aggregation to SUM. In addition, I've created other calculated metrics such as F = A+B, G = A+C+E, etc. To get these calculations to work right, I seem to have to use IfNull(metric,0) often, because apparently NULL plus a number equals NULL.
From a usability standpoint, here's what I'm seeing on reports that I don't like (for instance, imagine the particular report is displaying columns A, B, and F only)
#1 - If A and B are both NULL, the F column always shows as a 0 because the formula is IfNull(A,0) + IfNull(B,0). It would be nice if I could get F to also show NULL, without making the formula complicated
#2 - Rows are showing on the report where everything on the row is either NULL or 0. I assume this is because one of the columns not being displayed has numbers in it. Is there a way to get OBIEE to not show rows that have all zeros or NULLs? Or is this due to the fact that the IfNull(A,0) + IfNull(B,0) is returning a non-NULL answer...and if I modified the formula so it did return a NULL it would magically go away?
Thanks!
Scott

p.s. regarding issue #2...I suppose I could put a filter on to filter out rows with all zeros or NULLs, but this filter gets uglier and uglier as the number of columns grows...and I wouldn't want developers to have to do this.
Thx,
Scott

OBIEE 11g RPD and Weblogic Identity Management

Hi,
I have an issue where only users from one weblogic Provider (LDAPAuthenticator) can log into OBIEE.
New users created using the default provider (DefaultAuthenticator) cannot log in (the exception is the Administrator user which was upgraded from 10g).
If I open the RPD in online mode and connect to 'Identity Management', I do not see the new users above in the list (i.e. they have not been pulled down by OBI)
Error message in the logs show "authentication passed, however use cannot be found in identity store" - which makes sense as I do not see them in the RPD. Any ideas?
N.B: New application roles in weblogic are syncing with the the RPD correctly.

Thanks for your reply Paul. That is quite a drawback if it is the case. I guess the fall back is to implement one authenticator and if that fails, it would pass on to the RPD authentication (like in 10g)? Have you by chance managed to implement the 'act as' obi functionality with the weblogic authenticator setup?

OBIEE 11G RPD and Catalog

HI
Can any one help me
how to create new catalog for Bisample repository to deploy the rpd and catalog
can any one explain beiefly plz

Follow these steps
1). Go to localDrive:C:\OBIEE11G\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1
2). Open your instanceconfig.xml file
3). Find <CatalogPath> and </CatalogPath> tags
4). Write the new catalong name that you want to create (suppose sh_new) then your tag should look like this
<CatalogPath>C:\OBIEE11G\instances\instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/catalog/obirep</CatalogPath>
5). Save the file and start/re-start the BI presentation service
6). It automatically creates the obirep catalog, once we start our presentation service and you need not to create anything manually.
Pls mark as correct

OBIEE 11g : Unable to see any images while customizing styles and skins

Hi,
I am trying to customize OBIEE 11g style and skin. I followed the steps mentioned at http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/12/oracle-bi-ee-11g-styles-skins-custom-xml-messages/ and also in oracle white paper http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi/customizing-oracle-biee-11g-176387.pdf.
I am not able to see any images on any OBIEE screens. After login, I can see the name of skin which i have created as the default skin but login page images, header images (after login) are not coming up. Can you please provide solution?
P.S. I have not changed any images or any css files in the custom skin and style directory. I just wanted to know first whether the new skin/style works for me. If it works, then i will apply some sort of customization.

That is correct. Also remember to delete browser cache. Here you have the folders: Re: how to insert the picture in the dashboard of BIEE

Essbase as a source in OBIEE 11g and using lookup to Relation database

Hello All,
We are trying to implement Essbase as primary source for our obiee 11g repository and using relational database as secondary source of data.
I was using a lookup functionality in repository to lookup value from one of the Essbase's Dimension's attribute to relational database, however, there is error when testing this in OBIEE Dashboards.
And tried to look this error in support.oracle and googled it but was not able to find anything on it.
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: 46008] Internal error: File server\Query\Src\SQLookupUtility.cpp, line 145. (HY000)
Have you had any such issue and how can we pass this issue?
I am trying to find if there are any quick resolution before going to oracle support.
TIA.

Mapping Roles/Groups between Oracle EBS R12 and OBIEE 11g

Hi,
We are implementing OBIEE 11g with Oracle EBS R12 as source system. Also we are using Out of the box RPD for Oracle EBS R12.
But we are facing lot of challenges to map OBIEE 11g groups and EBS roles and responsibilities. We do not have prior experience with EBS as source system.
Can anyone tell how to map between obiee groups with Oracle E-Business suit R12
Is there any document link or notes regarding this.
Any information regarding this will be a great help.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am also looking for the solution to implement SSO of OBI 11g with EBS r12, what i understand from your post that you have configured SSO between OAM and EBS R12.
Below is the link to configure SSO between EBSR12 and OBI 11g.
http://www.astcorporation.com/images/PDFs/White_Papers/2012/AST_White_Paper-EBS-OBIEE_11g_Integration.pdf
I want one clarification from you , once you read the above article what is your opinion do we require OAM integration if we want only EBS SSO with OBI11g ? I am bit confused in this ?
Whats the use of OAM in this integartion ?
Can you please help me.
Thanks in Advance.

Integrating with EBS Suite Security: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/bi.1111/e16364/ebs_actions.htm#BIEIT1321
As I understand you need to create a Connection Pool to your EBS database. I think that would be a serious security aspect for the integration to work over two different networks. But I don't think it's impossible.
Domain Prerequisites is another challenge in this scenario.
