Obiee 11g  &nbsp display in reports!

Hello,
Can anyone please help me with the following scenario.
I have a report with few columns and rows. Some of the cells do not have any data in them. But when I see the final report I see &nbsp displayed in the cells.
Is there a way to show empty cells by removing these space characters in obiee 11g.
Thanks for the help in advance.
-Ajay.

Ya i think it is comming due to null data, just restrict the data by specifying not null prompt or specific condition in the associate column Isnull(attribte,0)

  • OBIEE 11g - Formatting a dahboard/report based on users

    Hi All,
    Could someone please tell me if it is possible to format a report based on different users so that when User1 logs in and clicks Report1, then he/she can view the data with Format1 (lets say value is bold, with green colour in background etc) whereas when User2 clicks Report1, then he/she can view the same data but with Format2 ( value not in bold, with blue colour in background etc).
    I am not sure if we can do something with CSS styling based on users.
    Thanks,
    Sneha

    Hi Sneha,
    Try to use Conditional Formatting.
    1> Pull one extra column in your report along with required columns in report.
    2> In that extra column in fx put user();
    3> In the column where you want bold and background color based on user, set conditional format (Add condition extra column = A, then Bold and BG Color).
    4> Hide that extra column.
    Please let me know whether it resolves your issue.
    Thanks

  • Essbase reports in OBIEE 11g

    Hi Experts,
    The Essbase reports in OBIEE 11g is displaying the member names instead of the Alias names. However in OBIEE 10g the Alias names are rightly displayed.
    Can anyone please suggest on how it is possible to display the alias names in OBIEE 11g?

    Hi,
    thanks for ur reply. I checked the above workaround but found that the option Display Column -> Alias is not enabled. So am not able to select it. Hence now Member names is selected.
    Please let me know if i am missing something else.

  • Help with displaying BLOBs in OBIEE 11g

    I am trying to get OBIEE 11g to display photographs in an Analysis report. I know BLOB fields are not supported, and I have been reading posts on this board and following examples on internet sites that try to get round this problem. But, try as I might, I cannot get those pesky photos to display.
    Below are all the steps I have followed. Sorry that there is a lot to read, but I was hoping that somebody has been successful in doing this, and may spot something in one of my steps that I am doing wrong.
    ORACLE TRANSACTIONAL SOURCE_
    Table : EMPL_PHOTO
    Fields:
    USN VARCHAR2(11) ( Unique Key )
    EMPLOYEE_PHOTO BLOB ( I think the photos are stored as 'png' )

    PERSON_KEY     NUMBER(38,0) ( Primary Key - Surrogate )

         create or replace function blob_to_clob_base64(p_data in blob)
         return clob
         is
         l_bufsize integer := 16386;
         l_buffer raw(16386);
         l_offset integer default 1;
         l_result clob;
         begin
         dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_result, false, dbms_lob.call);
         loop
         begin
         dbms_lob.read(p_data, l_bufsize, l_offset, l_buffer);
         exception
         when no_data_found then
         exit;
         end;
         l_offset := l_offset + l_bufsize;
         dbms_lob.append(l_result, to_clob(utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(utl_encode.base64_encode(l_buffer))));
         end loop;
         return l_result;

    Thanks, yes I followed http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/bi.1111/e10540/busmodlayer.htm#BGBDBDHI, but when I get to the part of setting the LOOKUP function on th Physical source, only ONE physical source is displayed. I need TWO sources ( The Employee Table, and the Photo LookUp.
    I have raised this as an error with Oracle. We are now on OBIEE 11.1.1.7, but Oracle say BLOBS are still not supported in that release. It will be fixed in 11.1.1.8 and it will be backported into 11.1.1.6.11
    In the meantime we have abandoned showing Photo's in any of our reports.

  • OBIEE 11G - Issue passing parameters between two reports

    Hi folks,
    I am struggling to pass parameters between two reports in OBIEE 11G.
    My first report contains the following columns: Rolling Year Type (VCHAR), Year(VCHAR), Month(VCHAR), Cost(Double).
    My second report contains the following columns: Rolling Year Type(VCHAR), Year(VCHAR), Month(VCHAR), Category(VCHAR), Cost(Double).
    My requirement is to pass the Rolling Year Type, Year and Month values from report 1 to report 2.
    On the Month column properties of report 1, I have created an Action Link called 'Drill to Category'. I have clicked on 'Navigate to BI Content' and selected Report 2.
    Then on Report 2, I have included three filters: Rolling Year Type is prompted, Year is prompted, Month is promted.
    When I run the report I always get the following error:
    The specified criteria didn't result in any data. This is often caused by applying filters and/or selections that are too restrictive or that contain incorrect values. Please check your Analysis Filters and try again. The filters currently being applied are shown below.
    When I check the cursor cache, the filter values are correct. Does anybody have any idea why Report 2 does not display?
    When I remove the Month filter, the report works correctly.
    I have since changed the third filter to be Month No and although Report 2 does display, it does not pick up the filter on the Month No.
    I initially thought this may have been a caching issue and so I have disabled BI Server Cache but this does not fix my problem.
    This was never an issue on OBIEE 10G as I found it very easy to navigate between two requests.
    Has anyone else experienced problems with passing parameters between two request in 11G?
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I once tried this kind of requirement(with dashboard prompts though) and hit at similar issue. I later found out that the problem is with the space in the parameter values. Can you please let me know, if the same is the case with you?
    Suppose the parameter passed is "Jan 2010", but the report on the destination takes the value as "Jan" & "2010". Yes, it kind of split the parameter value to two based on space. I think we can notice the filters the destination report got, by enabling filter view.
    In this case, since you pass only value at a time, could you try placing the parameter value anyway in double quotes? I think the Server then will understand it as one value.
    Thank you,
    Dhar

  • Invalid subscribers skipped in  OBIEE 11g

    Thanks & Regards,

    "AgentID: /shared/Common/AGENT_MAIL_21_2
    Invalid subscribers skipped: [email protected]"
    Well, is "[email protected]" a valid user of one of your security realms? And this is literally the question: is this email address a valid user id? Or are you just passing an email and thinking it will work whereas the actual uid is something like "ayub"?

  • OBIEE 11g having problems with password protected PDF files.

    I have been able to get an analysis in OBIEE 11g to display PDF files.
    However, some of these documents contain sensitive information and must be secured. Since anyone with access to the file name
    could simply type in the proper path in the browser window, this is unacceptable. In order to try and prevent this, I created a pdf file
    that is protected with a password.
    Opening the file by itself, produces the desired results. The password is requested before the file will open.
    When I open the file through my analysis in OBIEE, Adobe reader activates, but the password is not requested and the file does not open.
    It is as if OBIEE is somehow not sensing that Adobee is asking for a password.
    Does anyone have any experience with this?

    FYI, in case anyone is interested, I found out what is going on.
    I created the original password protected PDF using Microsoft Word. I did this because I do not have a full version of Adobe Acrobat that allows me to create files.
    On a hunch, I found someone that has a full version of Acrobat, and had them create a password protected PDF file. This file worked perfectly.
    Apparently, Word is not strictly adhering to PDF guidelines, and OBIEE senses the differences, resulting in the file not opening properly.
    Something to keep in mind for anyone linking to password protected PDF files in OBIEE.

  • 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.

  • Prompt to Report navigation - OBIEE 11g

    Hello,
    I've three tables (3 different requests) to be displayed in a page. Each of these tables has one identical column eg. project_name (but from different database tables).
    My requirement :
    1.I should have only one prompt to select the project_name at the first page
    2.Only after selecting the project_name, the page should navigate to another page which displays all the three tables
    Kindly let me know how can I get the prompt to report navigation done.
    Thanks!
    Dinesh

    Hi ,
    Only after selecting the prompt you have to show the reports means use the guided navigation.
    Only after selectiing the Project_name , you can show your tables.
    But this can be done on the same page not on other page as you needed.
    Also check the below link may be helpful to you

  • Is there a way to deny access to BI Publisher -Report job in OBIEE 11g?

    Thank you all for the helpful information in the posts. I am trying to disable or not to display Report job under published reporting in OBIEE 11g. Could any one of you you please help me with the steps?
    My issue:
    I am pretty new to OBIEE and we are using OBIEE 11g when the user clicks on the new drop down, i am trying to disable or turnoff Report job under published reporting for a user group. I tried to find the relevant components for published reporting to deny access to report job under manage privileges but no luck i couldn't find any and i realized that i should be looking into Manage Bi publisher roles and responsibilities but i cannot remove the roles. Please help me with the steps and the options where i need to go and what i should do to not to display the report job. Your help is greatly appreciated, if i am not clear please let me know i will try to rephrase or explain it better
    FYI
    We are using LDAP for user creation and we have created a new group and created a test user belongs to that group and that user should not see the Report job. When i am seeing the users roles and responsibilities it is also showing me other two roles authenticated user role and BI consumer role for the test user, when i asked the admin guy dealing with LDAP he said he only associated the user with that only new group. Please advice
    Thanks,

    In EM, go to Weblogic Domain, right click on bifoundation_domain and on the Security menu choose Application Policies.
    Set Application Stripe to obi and click the blue arrow search button.
    Highlight BIConsumer and click Edit.
    Under Permissions locate Resource Name oracle.bi.publisher.scheduleReport. Highlight this and click Delete...
    Click OK (top right corner).
    Now log your user out of OBIEE and back in again, and the option should have disappeared from their New menu.

  • Drill through to another report with bins in OBIEE 11g

    Hi Everyone,
    We have a specific scenario that is as follows:
    Bar chart with 3 bars: '0-30', '31-60' and 'other'
    these bars repsent the number of people who are in that age bucket.
    This was accomplished by taking the peron's Age (a dimension with an age column) and using the 'bin' option in obiee 11g answers.
    When the user clicks on one of the bins in the bar chart (e.g. 0-30), it should navigate to another report which contains details (a table) of ONLY the people who are in that age bucket.
    In order do this I created the same 'age bucket' in the drilll through report and set the field as prompted.
    This works in OBIEE 10g but in OBIEE 11g when I click the 'bin' (e.g. 0-30) on the top report, it navigates to the other report via action link and displays ALL of the people, not just the people in the bucket 0-30.
    Can anyone advise?
    P.s. if I remove the bin for the age bucket, and display the actual age, the drill down works fine. I think the issue is specific to the bin feature. I am using OBIEE 11.1.1.6.4

    Just confirmed with Oracle this is bug 13996544 . FYI just incase it helps anyone
