OBIEE 11G help with report design

Hi,
I need to design a report in the following format
Customer Number:
Customer Name:
Customer Address:
Order Detail:
Line number | Order No | Order description | Order Status
The order detail will have multiple lines, I have to do this in both Excel and PDF, is it possible to do without Publisher, and just OBIEE 11G? If so please help on how to do it?
Thanks for your time and help.

Hi,
You can have static text or narrative view to achieve the customer details.
And use the table format for the order details.
And give reports links where in, you can download to both excel and pdf.
Hope this resolves.
Regards
MuRam

OBIEE 11G help with report narrative and table view

Hi,
I have a report designed like the below, I have used "narrative view" for customer detail and "table view" for order detail. In the narrative view I can say row = 1 and it picks up the first record of the customer detail, but order detail shows all rows. How can I control it so the order detail shows only the detail record of the customer associated. Also how do I go to the second record and so forth. Please help. If this is not possible and if there are any alternates, please let me know. Thanks for your time and help.

Customer Number:
Customer Name:
Customer Address:
Order Detail:
Line number | Order No | Order description | Order StatusWhy don't you do this?
1) Build a dashboard prompt for Customer Number. and save to a PV.
2) Build a report with all the columns for customer and order (in Criteria View) with a filter for the PV to capture the dashboard prompt.
3) Build a pivot table with Customer Number and Customer Name in the Rows section. Put the Customer Address in the Measures section and change the Aggregation Rule to Max.
This will serve as the summary table showing only the information of the customer selected.
2) Build Pivot Table:2 with the Order details.
3) In the Compound Layout, put Pivot table one on the top and Pivot Table:2 below it.
When a customer is selected, you will have the customer data with the order details under it for that customer only.

Weblogic, Forms and reports 11g - help with report server

Hi Everyone
To start with i'm very new to forms and reports (3 months!!!) so my question may sound a bit silly.
At the moment we have 10 apps using forms and about 6 of them using reports. All the reports get run from the forms. We are upgrading forms and reports from 10g to 11g and the dev teams are not willing to recode the forms to pick up ENVID's etc. i have 1 reports server running and have configured to run one of the apps reports but my question is how do i get the other apps to run under that report server, can this be done.
I have thought about creating a report sever for each app but not sure if this is best practice and a bit over kill.
Would i be wrong to create a report server for each app.
Thanks
Edited by: Zantie on May 11, 2011 2:27 PM

Hi,
If both apps are using the same middle-tier home, then forms built-in run_report_object should submit reports to the this url. i.e <protocol://<mid-tier or LBR>:<port>/reports/rwservlet?. Assuming you are using the in-process reports server no need to specify reports_server parameter. Also if the envid is missing, you can move all the .rdf or .rep files to the default reports server directory $mid-tier_home/reports/samples/demo directory.

Hi Jose,
I guess this will help you...
Check here.....

You can change the angle of the first segment of a pie chart, doughnut, polar chart, radar chart or split pie chart, thus rotating the chart clockwise.
Procedure
1. Select the property ® Starting angle.
2. Enter the number of degrees by which you want to rotate the circle or rings clockwise.
The first category at the top of the diagram begins with zero degrees, and the one at the bottom begins with 180 degrees.

Please share experience with Report Designer in BI7

I am looking for people to share their hands on experience with Report Designer in BI 7.0.
I have seen the video, blogs, sap documentation, and the marketing materials. I have also test driven it myself. I have found not found it very useful for complex formatting. While I know there will be lots of opinions, I am looking for real life, hands on experiences you have had with the tool and if some of the complex things you have been able to do with it.
Here are some of challenges we are faced with:
1. Need ability to combine data from multiple queries into a single report. For example, one query has statistics and the other has amounts. We need to be able to create averages combining the data from both queries into a SINGLE result area.
2. We have need to be able to create a report where GL Accounts with activity over threshold amount are shown with a line for each account. Any accounts with amounts less than threshold, should be grouped on a line called 'other'. Again, this needs to be combined into a single result area.
When I say, single result area, I mean to be able to calculate amounts using data from both queries into a single result area. Displaying each query separately side by side is not an issue.

Have been playing around with Report Designer and I found it useful for basic formatting but not for the one's you had mentioned in your post.
SAPs suggests you do all the data manipulation in the Query Designer or Infocube and use Report Designer for just formatting the data. In the past we had issues where we could not certain calculation in query designer and have used Crystal Reports along with BI data for similar kind of things which you had mentioned in your post (using sub reports and report level data manipulation). Report Designer unfortunately does not provide any of these functionalities.
I have seen comments from SAP saying Report Designer will be developed further, not sure of any specific functionality whichis coming in. I think it is SAPs first step in the formatted reporting area and may be in the future we will have a tool which can handle much more complex scenarios!
Thanks.

Help needed with Report Design

Hi All,
Here is the requirement.
Period Type(holds 2 values) : Payment and Vested.
we have field 'Total Days' which is calculated based on "User Selected" Period Type.
For example, When Period Type is Payment,
If start date is less than or equal to grant date and end date is less than or equal to vest date, then calculation is (End Date - Grant Date)+1
If start date is greater than grant date and end date is less than or equal to vest date, then calculation is (End Date - Mobility Start Date)+1 (similarly 2 more if conditions) ...we have similar calculation for Period Type - 'Vested'.
This Period Type is a multiselect Prompt. How can this be achievable.
Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

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
Sundar

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.

Bharath

Using OBIEE 11g Analytics with VPD database

We are new to the OBIEE world. Our background has been in Discoverer for the past eight years. With Discoverer, the database handled all VPD issues. We simply had users create private database connections and Discoverer Plus would pass the user's credentials to the back end where a VPD policy would attach a predicate to a user's queries.
So I guess our question is, How do we accomplish the same thing in OBIEE 11g for Analytics? We don's see any way to get around the need for a shared connection pool, and we cannot see any way to add a database login screen, nor would we want to.
We are seeing things called initialization blocks and variables in the help files. We are assuming we will have to create some way of capturing the user's ID and passing it to the back end.
We can't be the first ones to face this challenge, so any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ken

in the connection pool, you can use :USER and :PASSWORD and these will send the OBIEE login to the db, assuming each OBIEE user exists as a db user this should sort you out.
Alternatively, you implement a psuedo-VPD using OBIEE Security filters, assuming you have access to the tables that VPD is using, you can hold the predicates to be applied in variables via INIT blocks and have OBIEE apply them on an as-needed basis. Check security filters in the documentation.

Display exceptions with Report Designer

Hi,
i want to create a Report with the Report Designer.
My Data Provider is a Query with exceptions.
Now the Report Designer don't show the exceptions.
Is there a possibility to show exceptions with the Report Designer?
Thx for help
Mike

Right, unfortunately the report designer does not support Exceptions.
I ask me, why not?
The representation of very good or negative values with different colours, would be a useful feature. Thus you must mark every single cell hand by hand in corresponding colours and must also know the exactly position of the suitable value.
Is there a workaround?
Does anybody know, if this feature will be a part of Report Designer in future?

OBIEE 11g Issue with "group by"

Hello,
I have issues with the physical queries generated by OBIEE engine.
All the facts are at detailed granular level. when I query the table, group by clause is excluded from the query. following is the sample query generated by OBIEE 11g engine.
select 0 as c1,
D1.c2 as c2,
D1.c1 as c3,
D2.c3 as c4,
D2.c2 as c5,
D2.c1 as c6
from
(select distinct T48494.SMBL as c1,
T48494.EXP_DT as c2
from
VW_CONTRACT_DETAILS T48494
where ( T48494.EXP_DT in (TO_DATE('2012-09-03 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), TO_DATE('2012-09-19 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')) )
) D1,
(select sum(T48494.TRADED_VOL) as c1,
sum(T48494.TRADED_VAL) as c2,
sum(T48494.TOTAL_TRADES) as c3
from
VW_CONTRACT_DETAILS T48494
where ( T48494.EXP_DT in (TO_DATE('2012-09-03 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), TO_DATE('2012-09-19 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')) )
) D2
order by c3, c2
I'm getting similar kind of issues(exclusion of group by from query) even when i query other fact tables as well. Is there any global change to be made?
Regards,
Kishore

Does it mean you are expecting a group by on
D1.c1, D1.c2?
So query should like
select 0 as c1,
D1.c2 as c2,
D1.c1 as c3,
D2.c3 as c4,
D2.c2 as c5,
D2.c1 as c6
from
(select distinct T48494.SMBL as c1,
T48494.EXP_DT as c2
from
VW_CONTRACT_DETAILS T48494
where ( T48494.EXP_DT in (TO_DATE('2012-09-03 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), TO_DATE('2012-09-19 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')) )
) D1,
(select sum(T48494.TRADED_VOL) as c1,
sum(T48494.TRADED_VAL) as c2,
sum(T48494.TOTAL_TRADES) as c3
from
VW_CONTRACT_DETAILS T48494
where ( T48494.EXP_DT in (TO_DATE('2012-09-03 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), TO_DATE('2012-09-19 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')) )
) D2
group by c3, c2 ---> added line
order by c3, c2

Help on Report Design

Dear Expert,
Please help me out in following Report Requirement.
Our Management required to develop report which shows Customer Outstanding based on credit periods given to Customer. As the number of credit days varies customer wise. Customer credit days are maintained in Customer Master.
How do I calculate outstanding of Customer within credit days & Overdue Outstanding in BEx Query Designer, I hope this might be possible using customer exit variable but this credit days limit is not fixed for all customer, then how to get it ?
Please Help.
Regards,
DK

In the gray section to the left of the report design, right-click on the group footer for the Account Code and select 'Section Expert'. Turn on "New Page After". To prevent a blank page at the end of your report, click on the formula button to the right of the check-box and enter "not OnLastRecord".

Obiee 11g Publisher Bursting Report error

Hi
I am using Obiee 11g (ver. 11.1.1.3.0) and trying to achieve report bursting. I have created Data model and Report. Report is showing result but once I schedule report by bursting to file,
1. I am getting error (ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected).
2. where I can get bursting fail log?
Its urgent.
Bursting to file SQL Query as below: -
SELECT DEPT.DNAME as DNAME KEY, 'Standard' TEMPLATE,
'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
'en-US' LOCALE,
'PDF' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
'FILE' DEL_CHANNEL,
'E:\BIP' PARAMETER1,
DEPT.DNAME || '.pdf' PARAMETER2
FROM SCOTT.DEPT DEPT

Change your query to the following and then try it out; this should take care of the ORA error
SELECT DEPT.DNAME KEY, 'Standard' TEMPLATE,
'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
'en-US' LOCALE,
'PDF' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
'FILE' DEL_CHANNEL,
'E:\BIP' PARAMETER1,
DEPT.DNAME || '.pdf' PARAMETER2
FROM SCOTT.DEPT DEPT
