OBIEE 11g ignoring custom styles after a space in the formatting

Hi,
Has anyone else ran into this odd little problem?
I'm applying custom styles to our new corporate skin, and it's all working just fine until I enter a piece of code like this:
.QCPageColumnSectionSidebar{padding-bottom:1px;width:100%;border:solid 1px #000080;background-color:#dce4f9;}
It appears that as soon as OBIEE encounters the spaces in the CSS formatting, it escapes and ignores the rest. In this case, the border gets applied, but the background color does not. If I swap places of the two classes, then the background color is applied and the border is not.
In addition, any styles defined after this style are ignored.
When I inspect element in Firebug, I am seeing this behavior coming through on the presentation side. The CSS that follows the style with a space in it isn't appearing.
The styles defined by default have very similar styles and they appear to work; does anyone have any idea why my custom styles aren't?
Thanks in advance,
Krista

Some times we get unwanted code.. some thing like when you copy from browser to MS word some html code come along with...

How to allow user chaning his password in OBIEE 11g weblogic custom LDAP?

Hi,
How to allow user chaning his password in OBIEE 11g weblogic custom LDAP?
I need to give user an option to do so, without the intervention of any Administrator. I also do not want to make user a Administrator else he will be able to login in weblogic and can do any damages unknowingly.....

OBIEE 11G : Remove label (is like pattern match) in the prompt

Hi Experts,
I have Gone through this thread Re: OBIEE 11G : Remove label (is like pattern match) in the prompt and applied JS as mentioed but
It works for the first display of the page but its back as soon as you hit the apply button
can be it be removed permanently? Thanks in Advance

Hi Nagen,
You can try the following:
Create a variable prompt with the column vales that you want to match
Create a filter in the analysis criteria tab on the column, set to pick up the variable, and define the IS LIKE here.
It is effectively doing the same task as the standard prompt approach does, but in a round-a-bout way which doesn't include adding any of Oracle's text in.

Obiee 11g and custom j2ee app using the same cookie name

Hi,
I wrote a same j2ee web application. i'am using authentification through a realm configured in the web.xml.
This web app is deployed in the same weblogic than obiee 11g. What i want to do is to embed my application in a dashboard using an iframe tag, and use the same login from analytics to my custom web app.
In this article http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11035_01/wls100/security/thin_client.html#wp1039551, it is said that by default, all web apps in the sames weblogic server are using the same cookie name so that they share authentification between them. However, i have read in the web that analytics in obiee 11g is using a cookie with the name "ORA_BIPS_NQID".
In the weblogic.xml of my custom application, i set the cookie-name parameter to ORA_BIPS_NQID. However, in the dashbord, it still prompt for authentification to my custom web app.
How can we share authentification between analytics and a custom web app in the same weblogic ?
NB : I dont want to pass the username et password through the url.
Thanks.

By default, if you don't specify a cookie-name in the weblogic.xml configuration file, the weblogic server create a cookie named JSESSIONID for your application. For exemple, if two applications use the default configuration, both of them will use the same cookie name which is JSESSIONID. In this case, when you log in the first application, your are automaticaly logged in the second application with the same credentials. I have already test this kind of integration and it works perfectly. You only need that the two applications are deployed in the same weblogic server.
Now, i want to have the same behaviour between obiee 11g and my custom application deployed in the same weblogic server. I read somewhere in the web that obiee 11g presentation service (analytics) is configured with a cookie-name value = "ORA_BIPS_NQID". So in the weblogic.xml configuration file of my web app, i specify a cookie-name value = "ORA_BIPS_NQID" to have the same cookie-name between the two application. But, it still not work. It prompt for authentification in the dashboards.
I now, that such an integration is possible, because the other bi applications (mapviewer, bipublisher,...) are actually other web applications. However when using, for exemple, maps in dashbords, the mapviwer application automaticaly user the credentials of the user connected in analytics.

OBIEE 11G and Custom Reports

I went to a presentation the other day on the new 11G. One of the things they said was that if you have custom reports and custom subject areas, you will have to recreate them after you upgrade. The upgrade is supposed to wipe them out. I'm hoping I misunderstood.
We keep all of our custom reports and dashboards in a folder in the catalog seperate from the out of the box dashboards.
We have created new subject areas with our own naming standard seperate from the out of the box subject areas.
When we upgrade, am I really going to lose all of the work we have already done? Will my dashboards go away? Will my reports disappear? Can I import them back somehow?
Panic'd in KC,
B

Hi,
But I'm still not sure if my custom reports are going to be upgraded too or if they will get deleted.Reports will not get deleted but some reports may not work properly....Lot of testing is to be done....
From the blog....
We cannot expect all the reports to start working out of the box immediately after an upgrade. Good amount of testing is required to make sure all the older queries of the most commonly used reports are working without any major issues. Also, not all the reports would get migrated seamlessly due to the significant changes across the versions which the utility cannot recognize.

OBIEE 11g database connection error after deploying to server.

Hi,
I deployed RPD to obiee 11g server and when I run a report it is giving database connectivity error. In 10g we just specify OLAP_DSN, OLAP_USER and same in connection pool with database password. I did the same in 11g as well but it's not working.
Is there any other place I need to specify database connection detail?
Thanks

OBIEE 11g "WITH SAWITH0 AS" subquery factoring clause in the generated sql

I've observed that the OBIEE 11g generates in the query log physical query using the WITH (sub-query factoring) clause to make the generated sql elegantly readable. This is great! Thanks for the developers. However I have some questions about this.
__Background__
Oracle Database' default behaviour is that if you have only one sub-query in the WITH section, it executes it as an in-line view and does not materialize it before the main sql is executed. If you have more than one, by default the database engine materializes all of them in the order of the definition. In some cases this can completely blow up the SGA and make the query never ending. To divert this behaviour you can apply two hints that work both in inline views and in sub-queries as well: /*+ MATERIALIZE */ and /*+ INLINE*/, however Analytics 11g does not seem to have hint capabilities at the logical table level, only at physical table level.
If we go with the current defaults, developers not aware of this feature can bump into serious performance issues for the sake of some syntax candy at the generated sql level, I'm afraid.
__Questions__
* Is it possible to turn the Analytics server not to use WITH but use inline views instead?
* Is there any way to sneak in some hints that would put the /*+ INLINE */ hint to the appropriate place in the generated sub-queries if needed
* Does the Oracle Database have any initialization parameter that can influence this sub-query factoring behavior and divert from the default?

The WITH statement is not added to make the query more elegant, it's added for performance reasons. If your queries take long to run then you may have a design issue. In a typical DWH DB SGA needs to be seriously increased since the queries ran are much larger and complex than on an OLTP DB. In any case you can disable the WITH statement in the Admin Tool by double clicking on your database object on the physical layer and going to the Features tab. The feature is called WITH_CLAUSE_SUPPORTED.

OBIEE 11g Physical Query changes after Check In

Hi
I am facing a strange issue at a customer's.
They migrated an RPD from 10g to 11.1.1.6.2 using the repository upgrade tool.
Right after the upgrade everything works fine but when we connect online using Admin Tool and perform any change on a business model (even if it's only a Check out / Check in without any modification) the next time we execute a report based on that business model we found that every row of a aggregated column displays the Total SUM.
ie.

Has anyone experienced this issue? It would be a great help if someone can give me a hint as to where to check.
I've rebuilt all physical joins, check database properties are set to default, no change.

The problem was that the server was updated to patch 11.1.1.6.2. and Administration Tool was 11.1.1.6.0
We downloaded a new Admin tool from patch 14142868.
This solved all our issues.
It struck me as odd that in previous versions it used to have a warning when a repository from an unsopported version was open with Admin Tool, but not in this case.

Error while deploying, Custom Style Skin in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7

Hi,
I have deployed Custom Style Skin in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 successfuly (with the help of http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/12/oracle-bi-ee-11g-styles-skins-custom-xml-messages/ ).
Now when we're moving RPD, Catalog & Custom Style Skin from OBIEE 11.1.1.5 to OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7, I could deploy RPD & Catalog but am not able to deploy Custom Style & Skin Folders.
If you are aware of the process of deploying Custom Style & Skins (as mentioned in the link above), it requies:
1. Custom Style & Skins folder to be Deploy using Weblogic Console.
2. Making necessary changes in instanceconfig.xml (to point to the deployed folder) ---- this is where it's failing.
When I do add necessary tags ( <URL> & <UI>) in instanceconfig.xml and restart Services. Presentation Services dosen't come up. Error message that is in log file is:
In element URL: Can not have element children within a simple content.
unknown element 'UI'
Element 'UI' is not valid for content model : 'All(URL, SocketTimeoutSec,FileSizeMB)'
Any pointers?
Regards,
Jitendra

Hi,
I too faced such issue, actually obiee11.1.1.5 version skin and style wont work in obiee11.1.1.6.0 and above patch ..
u have do it once again by using obiee11.1.1.6.0 skin (because the 11.1.16.0 has UI and skin different from 11.1.1.5.0 )
Thanks

Which service you are not able to start? Is it weblogic or bi services like bi server, PS server etc..
Have you tried to start weblogic manually by running Startweblogic.cmd and able to open WLS console?

Issue with OBIEE 11g(11.1.3) Installation

I have installed OBIEE 11g last evening. I was able to connect to the dashboard and run a simple report also – all before shut down. Now when I try to access OBIEE 11g thru port :9704 after starting the BI services, I am getting the following error.
“Error 404–Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol — HTTP/1.1:

My Weblogic server is working fine but im not able to access EM or ANALYTICS.
When I click Programs > OBI > Start BI Services it opens 3 wndows and says weblogic server is started and Im able to login to Weblogic server via “http://localhost:7001/console”.
When i start my machine the following services are started automatically:
1) Oracle WebLogic node Manager
2) OracleDBConsole
3) Oracle Service
4) OracleOraDB11g_home2_TNSListener
The following services are not started:
1) OracleDB11g_home2_ClrAgent
2) OracleJobScheduler
3) Oracle Process Manager(instance1)
4) Oracle VSS Writer Service
can you pls let me know how to start the Weblogic Admin Server?
I have even tried to reinstall and when the installation completes im able to login to “EM”, “weblogic” and “Analytics” also, but once i restart my machine im not able to login to “Analytics” as well as to “EM”.
The process im following is:
When i start the BI Services from Start->Programs->Oracle Business Intelligence->Start BI Services, i get a popup window where it asks for weglogic user and password, then i have entered the user as “weblogic” and has give the password entered at the time of installation, then 2 popups opens and it runs several java files, then im able to login to weblogic but no luck with “em” or “analytics”.
If i try to login to weblogic and try to start the “bi.em”, “biadminservices” i get java error message.
Even i dont get Oracle Logo on the Admin tool also.
Can you pls let me know the repository password also as i have tried with “Admin123? but no luck.
Every time when i do the installation im able to access all the services for the first time but once i restart the machine then only weblogic will be working.
I have installed OBIEE 11.1.3 on Windows 7 Ultimate N(32 bit) OS with Oracle11g Database
Pls let me know if im missing anything here?
Appreciate your help

This is a really basic question... but how much memory do you have, and how long have you waited for all the processes to load? On a Windows XP Virtual Machine with 3GB, I have waited 20 minutes before being able to access. And until then, you will see the error you have received.
Just a thought...

OBIEE 11g - controlling # of items shown in a dashboard prompt

Hi, I have a dashboard that lists the 30 baseball teams in MLB. I would like to put this as a prompt of check boxes going down the side of a dashboard. But the prompt always displays with vertical scroll bars and only shows 15 or so teams at a time. Is there a way to force OBIEE 11g to show all 30 checkboxes without using the scroll bars?
I've tried manually adjusting the height of the dashboard column, etc. - nothing seems to work.
Thanks,
Scott

Hi ,
I don't thnk manually adjusting the height of the dashboard column would help in this .
Viewing all the values at once (without scrolling down) , also eat up a biggeer space in ur dashboard .
Instead of that , why can't u use the auto complete functionality for obiee 11.1.1.6 ? This will ease the effort of scrolling and searching manually .
Check out this :

Error bringing up /analytics in OBIEE 11g

I recently installed OBIEE 11g on Solaris.
After the installation was completed, I can log into WebLogic Console and Enterprise Manager. I could not open up the <host>:9704/analytics page. All of the services required to start up were started.
After reviewing the error messages on EM, I noticed the following error messages.
Error reading object: /shared/Sample Lite/KPIs/Unit Price
Error reading object: /shared/Sample Lite/KPIs/Sample KPI
Error reading object: /shared/Sample Lite/KPIs/Revenue KPI

Hope you have strictly followed the steps mentioned in the document:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e10543/legacy.htm#BABGEHJJ
Specifically note : Oracle BI Scheduler Server runs Delivers jobs for users without accessing or storing their passwords. Using a process called impersonation, Oracle BI Scheduler uses one user name and password with Oracle Business Intelligence administrative privileges that can act on behalf of other users. Oracle BI Scheduler initiates an Agent by logging on to Oracle BI Presentation Services with the Oracle Business Intelligence administrative name and password.
For Delivers to work, all database authentication must be performed in only one connection pool, and that connection pool can only be selected in an initialization block for the USER system session variable. This is typically called the Authentication Initialization Block. When impersonation is used, this initialization block is skipped. All other initialization blocks must use connection pools that do not use database authentication.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and regards,
Debarati.
