OBIEE 11g Map View - Issue with Label Translation

Hi All,
I have a strange translation issue with the Maps in 11g.
Created in English language to plot the Revenue for each of the Postal Codes.
I selected Postal Code and Revenue Amount in the Criteria and created a new Map View. It had the text 'Postal Code' in the Map Legend and then the scale for revenue amount.
Now I logged on with Chinese Language , it still appears as 'Postal Code' in English where in it was actually supposed to show it in Chinese.
We have a translation pack to get all the column names translated. If I try creating a new table view, it shows the translated text instead of 'Postal Code', but some how this doesn't work with Maps.
Has anyone faced similar issues ? Is there a workaround for this ?
Thanks for any pointers.

Hi,
I also encounter the same issue. When I view combined layout, I get the No Results message. But when I edit the table layout, I see that there are records returned. Does anyone had any luck in resolving this issue?
Thanks!

OBIEE 11g: Dashboard Javascript Issue

Hi Gurus,
We have upgraded obiee from 10g to 11g and finding issues with javascript in a dashboard.
Functionality: There are some custom labels showing prompt values in it with large font. When user change prompt value and Apply, it should change the value of those text as well.
In 10g its running fine, but in 11g its not happening after we change the value of prompts. I found the following Javascript is responsible for this functionality. Even I saw one thread to suggest the exactly same code, but in 10g.
<script type="text/javascript">
(function(){
var tblTag = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
var tdElem= document.getElementsByTagName('td');
for(m=0;m<tdElem.length;m++){
if(tdElem[m].className=='GFPSubmit'){tdElem[m].childNodes[0].tBodies[0].rows[0].cells[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].innerHTML='Run Report';
}//close if statement
}//close for loop
}// close function clickVal()
</script>
Thread:
Change Go Button Text on Prompt Only
I need to understand what its actually doing? and Does it really work in 11g? Whats the alternative code?
Thanks in advance.

In 10g these are the html objects, after upgrade you need to know the html objects for that report based on that you need to modify javascript code.
From given code, activity is doing on these objects; You need to find out the equivalent object name for 'GFPSubmit' in 11g.
GFPSubmit

Issue with Chinese Translations not picked up in Extended Notifications

All Gurus,
We are on ECC 6.0 with the below settings.
SAP_BASIS 700 0015 SAPKB70015 SAP Basis Component
SAP_ABA 700 0015 SAPKA70015 Cross-Application Component
We have been using Extended Notifications for quite some time and it's working fine in EN. We now are working on generating the Outlook mails in Chinese Language. In these, there are some std. SAP texts (as mentioned in "General Settings" in transaction SWNCONFIG) are not getting picked up even though the corresponding Chinese translation exists. Specifically, the EN text
"The following new work items require processing XXXXXXXX" corresponds to Dialog text "SWN_PROLOG_MULTI" maintained for parameter "TEXT_PROLOG_MULTI" in General settings.
When the Outlook mail is generated in Chinese, the corresponding Chinese text is not getting picked up and says "Text Not Found". Similar issue existed for some other Dialog texts maintained for parameters "TEXT_GOTO_WI" and "TEXT_CONTACT_ADMIN" for which SAP suggested new Notes 1661893 and 1661894. For these texts, once Chinese text is maintained in SE63, its getting picked up in the Outlook mail.
Has anybody faced similar issue with Chinese translations in Extend.Notif ? If yes, please let me know how to fix this issue.
Also, anybody knows the message / Dialog text # for the text "Execute Work item.SAP" in the Link that is attached to the Outlook mail ?. Please tell me how to maintain the Chinese text for this EN text.
Timely reply is really appreciated.
Thanks in advance & Regards,
venu

All,
SAP provided the translations in the Notes 1675156 & 1675157 and it resolved both the issues mentioned. Also, the "Execute Work Item.SAP" link is picked up from the Text Elements of the class "CL_SWN_NOTIF_WORKFLOW".
As the issue is resolved, i'm closing this thread.
Thanks

OBIEE 11g - Maps with Google Map as Source

Hi Experts,
Am trying to create some maps using information from Google Maps as source.
In Map-viewer console, I have added Google Maps as the source in 'Manage Map Tile Layer' and was able to see the base map when I did a 'View Map/Manage Tiles'.
However when I logged into analytics and tried to import layers, am not able to see anything.
Is there anything that I am missing out. Thanks for any pointers.
- Sujana

Spatial data has to be setup in the database to get layers. I tried using some of the layers from the spatial data I had and then could get a map with google map as the background map.
But couldn't find any easy alternate to fetch layer information.

OBIEE 11g Map Visualization Error - basemap is defined in spatial meta-data

Hi All,
I have installed OBIEE 11g successfully on my Desktop Machine, deployed the Sample Applications regarding Mapviewer and its working fine. I have seen all the Maps and they are running fine in fact they are editable and i can easily do anything with those Maps but,
The issue is that when i am going to create a new Report and try to integrate Map on it then it shows an error as display below;
A basemap is required to render a map. Please ensure that atleast one basemap is defined in the spatial meta-data
Error Details
Error Codes: EMGUNIA3
Location: saw.views.evc.activate, saw.httpserver.processrequest, saw.rpc.server.responder, saw.rpc.server, saw.rpc.server.handleConnection, saw.rpc.server.dispatch, saw.threadpool,
saw.threadpool, saw.threads
I have also followed this link ( http://erpthings.blogspot.com/2011/01/obiee-11g-inbuilt-mapping-and-spatial.html ) but it is also stuck on the same error at the end.
I didn't understand the problem why its giving an error like this while the Sample Application worked fine so, if there is any way to define a basemap in spatial meta-data plz guide me OR
Is there any way to integrate Map with OBIEE 11g ?
Cheers,
Masood.

This question has been solved!
Basically you need to ensure the database schema where the data source (Navteq) has been imported must have the privilege "Create Type"
This comes from the Oracle manual extract as shown below:
1.4.4.3 Creating MapViewer Array Types, if Necessary
For each database schema that it connects to, MapViewer checks for the existence of
the following SQL array types that support array-type binding variables that might
exist in some predefined themes:
■ MV_STRINGLIST
■ MV_NUMBERLIST
■ MV_DATELIST
If these types do not exist, MapViewer attempts to create them in the database schema
associated with the MapViewer data source. However, if the user associated with that
schema does not have sufficient privileges to create new types, a privileged user must
create the types by connecting to the data source schema and entering the following
statements:
CREATE or REPLACE type MV_STRINGLIST as TABLE of VARCHAR2(1000);
CREATE or REPLACE type MV_NUMBERLIST as TABLE of NUMBER;
CREATE or REPLACE type MV_DATELIST as TABLE of DATE;
Cheers.

OBIEE 11g Title view Image position

Hi All,
Is there any way to change the position of image in title view in OBIEE 11g.By, default the image is coming on the left side..In my report i wanna display on the right side..
Guys please help..
Regards

In order to achieve this, you will need a custom skin (you can modify the original file, but I would not suggest to do this!).
The controlling file for the GUI rendering with regards to the title view is in the msgdb. It's the /messages/standardviewtemplates.xml. Again: please follow the process to create a custom skin and put the modified standardviewtemplates.xml there.
Changes to be made are here:
Standard:
<WebMessage name="kuiTitleViewDisplay" translate="no">
<HTML>
    <table class="TitleTable" cellspacing="0" style="@{tableStyle}"
    width="100%">
      <sawm:if test="logo || title || help">
        <tr>
          <sawm:if name="logo">
            <td class="TitleLogo" style="@{logoStyle}" rowspan="4">
            <img border="0" src="
            <sawm:param name="logo" />" alt="
            <sawm:messageRef name="kmsgTitleViewLogo" />" title="
            <sawm:messageRef name="kmsgTitleViewLogo" />"/></td>
          </sawm:if>
          <sawm:if name="title">
            <td class="TitleCell" style="@{titleStyle}"
            title="@{desc}">
              <sawm:param name="title" />
            </td>
          </sawm:if>
          <sawm:if name="help">
            <td class="TitleHelp" align="right" rowspan="4">
              <a href="@{help}" target="_blank">
                <img border="0" alt="" src="fmap:Views/Help.gif" />
              </a>
            </td>
          </sawm:if>
        </tr>
      </sawm:if>
After changes:
<WebMessage name="kuiTitleViewDisplay" translate="no">
<HTML>
    <table class="TitleTable" cellspacing="0" style="@{tableStyle}"
    width="100%">
      <sawm:if test="logo || title || help">
        <tr>
          <sawm:if name="title">
            <td class="TitleCell" style="@{titleStyle}"
            title="@{desc}">
              <sawm:param name="title" />
            </td>
          </sawm:if>
          <sawm:if name="help">
            <td class="TitleHelp" align="right" rowspan="4">
              <a href="@{help}" target="_blank">
                <img border="0" alt="" src="fmap:Views/Help.gif" />
              </a>
            </td>
          </sawm:if>
          <sawm:if name="logo">
            <td class="TitleLogo" style="@{logoStyle}" rowspan="4">
            <img border="0" src="
            <sawm:param name="logo" />" alt="
            <sawm:messageRef name="kmsgTitleViewLogo" />" title="
            <sawm:messageRef name="kmsgTitleViewLogo" />"/></td>
          </sawm:if>
        </tr>
      </sawm:if>
Basically you switch around the order of Logo -> Title -> Help to Title -> Help -> Logo. This way you know what happens in the doce above and make it Title -> Logo -> Help if you want.
These changes are application-wide wherever the custom skin is used (or just applciation-wide full stop if you modify the original file).

OBIEE Wth Map viewer

Hi Frnds,
Presently we are using OBIEE 10g. We have some reports for which we need to integrate with Oracle Map viewer.
We are available with both Oracle Map viewer Versions 10 and 11.
Which one would better suites for OBIEE 10g ? Suggestions and feedback.
If Oracle Map viewer 10 why not 11 ? Any reasons ??
It would be grt if some body guides me for step by step integration of OBIEE10g with Oracle map viewer.
Thank you....

I guess mapviewer 10g is no more available for download..., so that's why i went ahead with 11g mapviewer...
Anyways , you can raise an SR with Oracle Support...
Few more links that might be useful to you..

OBIEE 11g - Data Fetch Issue.

Hi,
I am facing this weird issue regarding data fetching while executing Reports in OBIEE 11.1.1.5. When I login to the BI user interface and execute any report for the first time, everything is working fine. Bt after that I am not able to execute any report later. Even the report executed for the first time, when I rebuilt and execute it I cannot see the data this time. The Results user interface says - The layout of this view combined with the data,selections,drills or prompt values choosen resulted in no data.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dev.

Hi,
I also encounter the same issue. When I view combined layout, I get the No Results message. But when I edit the table layout, I see that there are records returned. Does anyone had any luck in resolving this issue?
Thanks!

OBIEE 11g Security LDAP Issue

Hi,
I have an issue where certain LDAP users who were once able to log into OBI 11g now cannot.
This has only happened for those users who I have used the proxy ('Act As') functionality on ie. If UserA can login, and the Administration Act's As UserA, after an OBI restart UserA cannot log in anymore.
I have narrowed this issue down to the presenation catalog. If I swap the current catalog with the SampleAppLite catalog for example, the problem goes away i.e. the LDAP user (UserA in the example above) can log in fine.
I have also noticed while accessing the catalog via catalog manager, the Administrator cannot access the 'System' folder. This is with reference to the original catalog (which causes the issue with UserA above) that was upgrade from 10g to 11g.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

This is going to be almost impossible to diagnose without being logged in, in front of your application.
As a starting point I would recommend you check the permissions on each catalog element. Go to Catalog link > Change view to 'Admin View' > Catalog Root and then use the permissions link for that item and everything below. Ticking 'Show Hidden Items' will let you see the System folders.
Also check the privileges (Administration > Manage Privileges) as I seem to remember that the 'Act as Proxy' privilege is denied out of the box. Maybe something here is amiss.
It might be easiest to bite the bullet and create a new web catalog from scratch!

OBIEE 11g Calendar alignment issue

Facts: OBIEE 11g - 11.1.5 on Windows 2003 server.
There's an alignment issue going on with OBIEE calendar, wich happens only when the month is october. For all other months, the calendar is displayed properly. It does not depend on the year. You may change the year and select October, you'll get the error.
You might see what happens on the link below.
http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/7876/firefoxds.jpg
This behavior may occur when using IE9 (both using compatibility mode or not), Mozila Firefox and Google Chrome.
I've looked over Metalink and the forums and could not find any information about this error.
Any tips?!
Thanks!

OBIEE 11g Map question

Hi all,
We are using OBIEE 11g Mapviewer to display some results. We have point as well as polygon location geometries which combined with other dimensions display scores on the map.
It seems there is a restriction on the display graphics that can be used based on a geometry type. It is something like the following table:
Geometry Type - Graphic Format
Polygon - Color Fill, Bubble, Pie Graph, and Bar Graph
Point - Bubble, Variable Shape, Image, and Custom Point
We display a pie graph of scores on a given polygon and would like to keep it standard irrespective of the underlying geometry.
I was wondering if its possible to force use a Pie Graph on Point geometry?
Please let us know if there is a way to solve this. Really appreciate your time.
Thanks!

Hi
Your best bet is to follow the Security Guide:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E20490_01/bia.7963/e19042.pdf
Really you just need to make sure the Responsibility names are the same as the Application Roles. So either you create new responsibilities in EBS to match the existing (seeded) roles or you create new roles in OBI Apps to match your existing responsibilites. Both ways round are valid and it all depends on your security solution.
Thanks

OBIEE 11G - Common Prod issues

Hi,
I manage a team of OBIEE 11g Resources. i do not have hands on experience in OBIEE but been managing the team for the last 4 months.I do understand basics OBIEE 11G concepts and understand the different layers and i have good SQL skills.
Am currently in the US and have been asked to be the level 1 support for OBIEE issues in Prod.( I really wonder why am asked to do so :( )
Am trying to get myself prepared to handle OBIEE 11G issues as our first projects move to Prod end of this month.
Am looking for a list of common prod issues one might generally face in production in OBIEE 11G and as to how to get prepared to be able to look at the issue and be able to see what the issue is. From there on i might delegate it to the OBIEE resources offshore.
Can someone throw some light on this please ??
Thanks,
Chan

Browser Cache issues - might display staled results to users.
Make sure your power users run requests with filters.
Excel downloads - might be missing rows /columns based on version of 11g.
If you have data level security enabled, you might get not all results displayed complaint.
Staled data - due to gaps in cache management.
Make sure you get exact error message, to search for resolution.
most of the issues might be listed in support.oracle.com / blogs / here-
hope this helps..

OBIEE 11g SSL Configuration Issue : Unable to import the Server certs

Hello All,
We are trying to configure OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0 with SSL using Windows server 2003 (IIS) and facing some issues with that.
Followed the document : OBIEE11g SSL Setup and Configuration [1326781.1]
http://obieedue.blogspot.sg/2012/08/obiee11g-ssl-setup-and-configuration.html
and also completed generating the required certificate signing request and keystores for SSL communication and sent it to the CA (IT Admin team) to to have the certificate signed by CA. The issue comes when I am trying to import the CA certificate (Root certificate) and Server Certificate into the Java Keystore.
I am importing the Root CA Certificate first which is successfully added to the keystore.
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias mycacert -file cacert.pem -keystore mykeystore.jks -storepass Welcome1
Trust this certificate? [no]: yes
Certificate was added to keystore.
But when trying to add the Server Certificate to the keystore using the command below :
keytool -import -v -alias testserver -file server.cer -keystore mykeystore.jks -keypass Welcome1 -storepass Welcome1
Certificate reply was installed in keystore
I get the following error:
keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Failed to establish chain from reply
java.lang.Exception: Failed to establish chain from reply
at sun.security.tools.KeyTool.establishCertChain(KeyTool.java:2662)
at sun.security.tools.KeyTool.installReply(KeyTool.java:1870)
at sun.security.tools.KeyTool.doCommands(KeyTool.java:807)
at sun.security.tools.KeyTool.run(KeyTool.java:172)
at sun.security.tools.KeyTool.main(KeyTool.java:166)
Read many forums and tried to convert it to the PKCS#7 format and import the cert to the identity keystore, but was not successful in that either. I have also checked with the IT Admin team and found there is only one RootCA and no other intermediate CA's.
Please advice if any one has similar issues or suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
SVS

Hi,
One obvious reason would be that you did not specify -trustcacerts, and the root CA is not included in the present server keystore. In that case, using the -trustcacerts option would solve the problem, if the root CA is indeed in the JDK cacerts.
To print out the certificates present in the JDK cacerts, use the following command:
keytool -list -keystore <JAVA_HOME>/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit -v
Then check if the root CA that signed your server certificate is present, and has not expired (in which case,you would need to re-import a newer one into cacerts).
Another common reason for that error message is when you have used a proprietary CA to sign your server certificate. Then it would obviously not be in the JDK cacerts. The solution in that case is to import your proprietary root CA into the JDK cacerts, using the following command:
keytool -import -keystore <JAVA_HOME>/jre/lib/security/cacerts -file yourRootCA.pem -storepass changeit -alias youralias
A third reason for that error message is when your server was signed by an intermediate certificate. In that case, you would have received from your CA a chain of certificates. One way to solve this (not the only one, but this one works well): Prepend your intermediate CA file to your server cert file, and import the obtained concatenated file into the server keystore. Be careful, the intermediate CA must be BEFORE the server cert. Example:
copy rootca.cer certchain.p7b
type server.cer >> certchain.p7b
The file certchain.p7b will be the concatenation of the intermediate CA and the signed server cert. Then import the newly created file under the key alias as follows:
keytool -import -keystore serverks.jks -file certchain.p7b -alias yourkey -trustcacerts
If you only prepend the intermediate root CA, you must make sure the the final root CA is in cacerts. But you can also prepend your whole chain of trust inside the server keystore.

Kal
