OBIEE 11g - Analysis & Administration Tool questions

Dear Experts,
I have two question in OBIEE 11g version 11.1.1.5.0:
1. How can we display timezone in the analysis result, we have formatted the mask "MM_DD_YYYY hh:mm:ss tt z" but the "z" does not apply, it display character "z" in our result.
2. Can we create Hierarchy Dimension from one more tables ? Example that we have TimeDimension and LocationDimension, we want to create only on Hierarchy Dimension included two both Time and Location dimension.
Thanks & Regards,
Hac@

Dear Devarasu,
Thanks for your reply !
We tried the ... on analysis column fomular but occurred error in the result :
+"State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.

[nQSError: 16002] Cannot obtain number of columns for the query result. (HY000)"+
Do we make any mistake ?

  • OBIEE 11g Analysis : Change Report edit link to go Criteria tab instead

    How to change the setting to have the "Edit" to go to criteria tab instead of Results (Compond view)?
    Many time we may need to change the filter from default setting and then run the report or if the filter is setup to be used from a dashboard (using "Prompted") option...then the report attmpts to run the report without values...
    And I have not checked to see if the server cancels the query to the database when the user navigates to the Critetia Page as there is no cancel link...(as it displayed in 10g...)
    FYI, We have just started using OBIEE 11g in a dev environment, we are in the process of configuring the new env to get ready for prod...
    Thanks

    Hi,
    By default, the Action request is sent to results tab. You can modify it by editing the dashboardeditor.js file found in /app/res/b_mozilla/dashboards folder.
    Steps:
    1) Open dashboardeditor.js file.
    2) Search for the function "DUIModifyReport".
    3) Inside the function you will find that ***"&Action=results&Path="****
    4) Change results to criteria. In other words, the changed code will look like
    ****"&Action=criteria&Path="*****
    5) Re-deploy the code and bounce the services.
    -- Remember, this will affect for entire dashboard, and for all users. ---
    If you want to avoid step (5), then manually copy the changed dashboardeditor.js to /user_projects/domains/BIfoundation/servers/bi_server1/tmp/_WL_user/analytics_11.1.1/$RANDOMFOLDERNAME$/war/res/b_mozilla/dashboards and bounce the services.
    Voila - now when you edit the analysis through dashboard, it will take you to the criteria tab, instead of results tab.
    Please award points, if it helps.

    I do "start Bi services" and get two command windows, one says server started in RUNNING mode, the other says server started in ADMIN mode
    when I click on BI Administration I get an error window that says Oracle BI Administration tool has stopped working
    All help is appreciated.

  • Function Calendar not working in OBIEE 11G - Analysis

    This code works in 10.1.3 but not in OBIEE 11.1.1, Please let me know the correct code.
    Error: Query Failed: [nQSError: 22025] Function Calendar Extract is called with an incompatible type
    case when "- Calendar"."Year" = YEAR('@{var_date}{2012-11-05}') then 'Current' Else 'Prior' end

    Check the data type of the column being used to populate the variable. The Year Function works fine. I suspect the data type is not date. If you don't have date columns in your database and are creating one (ex., using MM, DD, YYYY columns explicitly)then check the default date format in your environment either double click the physical database folder -> features or in your NQSconfig. it should be in date data type.

  • Administration Tool (11g) -  can I get it from OBIEE web interface (Analytics)

    Hello,
    My users do not have the right of installing anything by themselves on their workstation. But for testing reasons I have to provide the Administration Tool. Can I download it somewhere from web interface (for example as we can download BI Desktop Tools)?
    Version of OBIEE is 11.1.1.7.
    Thanks for your answer.
    Regards,
    Dominic CHITAC

    YOURSERVER/saw.dll?bieehome <-- There's a download link but you will still need to install it. That will just get you the binaries.
    Alternatively they lie on your server under INSTALLFOLDER/MiddlewareHome/Oracle_BI1/clients

    Hi All,
    This question is answered.
    The Resolution is
    While Installing the RCU i created two instances so the RPD is not able to take the correct instance.After deleting the other instance now i am able to open the RPD in online mode as it is pointing to only one instance.
    Thanks,

  • Connection Failed in OBIEE 11g Admin tool

    Hi,
    I have virtual image V305 of OBIEE on linux x86-64. It is working fine but I was not able to access Admintool from linux m/c.
    So I have installed OBIEE 11g client on windows XP. It is showing all the subject area & tables. But when I am importing any table from my DB, it is giving error "Connection has failed". I have done tnsname.Ora file in both folder Oracle client & OBIEE client
    Please help me as soon as possible.
    Thanks

    I've found a work around for using tnsnames:
    put the following string in "Data Source" and it works
    (DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <your host>)(PORT = 1521))(CONNECT_DATA =(SERVER = DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME = <your database>)))
    Can you please refer below links for more methods.

  • Obiee 11g Noob question - bring in one sql table

    I am a new to obiee.
    Using version 11g and trying to bring in one sql table. I created my db and table, then I create the data source in odbc. Everything tests fine.
    I then open up the oracle BI administration tool, and 'import metadata'. Everything imports fine - under the 'physical' side I see my sql table and if I hit 'view data' I can see my data just fine.
    I think my problem is that under 'business model and mapping' the icon isn't green it has what looks like a red 'no' type icon. My guess is there is something I have to make that green before I will be able to create a report using my sql table. (diagram?)
    This is just one sql table with no foreign keys or even a pkey. How can I bring in just this one table?

    I created the key in the physical layer...
    then I dragged over the table and then dragged it over again (into the BMM) this created a table called (IT_Metric #1)..
    now I right click and select 'business model diagram', 'whole diagram' which opens a new window with my one table (IT_Metric) then the mouse cursor just shows waiting (hourglass) ...it never stops the hourglass..

  • OBIEE 11g - create dashboard with Answers Analyse and BI Publisher Repport

    Hi there,
    I have one question . I create dashboard in OBIEE 11g .In my dashboard have one analyse and one bip report .I create one prompt filter , that changes the both .But I wanted when i click in analysis and change it, this change is reflected in the Report . Is this possible?
    Thanks

    I am talking about object permissions in the catalog (eg. Folder permissions..). This is in addition to the permissions for the data source.
    You need to be able to view the folders from where you can select the analysis as a data source in the BI publisher report.
    Here is an excerpt from the Guide:
    For a role to access an object in the catalog, the role must be granted Read permissions on both the object and the folder in which the object resides. Permissions can be granted at the folder level and applied to all the objects and subfolders it contains, or applied to individual objects.
    To grant catalog permissions to a role:
    Navigate to the Catalog.
    Locate the folder or object on which you wish to grant permissions and click More. From the menu, select Permissions. Alternatively, you can select the folder and click Permissions in the Tasks region.
    Thanks,
    BIPuser
