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.
*10g result :*
2007     11965297458,356
2008     4610283517,31

2010     2769503695,204

2012     11167079772,3594
select T60482.N_ANIOEJERCITACION as c1,
sum(T60804.I_SDO_INI_CREDITO / nullif( 1000, 0)) as c2
from
D_FOP_VN_ESCENARIO T60482,
F_FOP_VN_ESCENARIO T60804
where ( T60482.ID_ESCENARIO = T60804.ID_ESCENARIO )
group by T60482.N_ANIOEJERCITACION
order by c1
*11g result:*
2007 348488645376,239
2008 348488645376,239
2009 348488645376,239
2010 348488645376,239
2011 348488645376,239
2012 348488645376,239
WITH
SAWITH0 AS (select sum(T54445.I_SDO_INI_CREDITO / 1000) as c1
from
F_FOP_VN_ESCENARIO T54445),
SAWITH1 AS (select distinct T54426.N_ANIOEJERCITACION as c1
from
D_FOP_VN_ESCENARIO T54426)
select 0 as c1,
D2.c1 as c2,
D1.c1 as c3
from
SAWITH0 D1,
SAWITH1 D2
order by c2
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.
Thanks

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.

OBIEE Issue - Physical Query not picking cascaded Conditions

In one the OBIEE Reports, I have given a set of NOT LIKE conditions as below:
Session Name is not LIKE (pattern match) '%AUDIT%'
AND Session Name is not LIKE (pattern match) '%audit%'
AND Session Name is not LIKE (pattern match) '%Audit%'
But when we refresh the report, it filters only records which uses AUDIT keyword as part of Session Names. When I checked the session log (attached for reference), I found that though logical table query takes those three conditions, while firing against database Physical Query contains condition only for AUDIT wild card as filter. Whether there is any limitation applied on using NOT LIKE conditions or is it a bug or the way the conditions are sequenced is wrong (in OBIEE sense).

Thanks buddy. Though this workaround will solve the issue, I am curious to know why OBIEE behaves such a way. Its peculier to see OBIEE admits all 3 conditions in logical query where the Physical query skips few of the conditions in session log itself.

OBIEE 11g online RPD change - do you have to restart servers

Hi,
After making ONLINE RPD changes in OBIEE 11G, do I still have to restart services from Enterprise manager?
Thanks for your time and help.

Hi ssk1974,
No. Only when you make change offline, then you need to deploy the rpd and then restart bi services.

I executed the query against my database(sybase) in query tool. It showed error.
I took out the column alias generated by the OBIEE ("as c1" as underlined). Then the query is working fine.
How to disable OBIEE from generating the alias.
Is there any way to do it.
If obiee is generating the physical query, i am suprised to see a syntax error.
The bold part is the query from Intermediate report
I underlined the problematic part.
Please help me. This is an urgent reuirement,
Thanks in advance for the help.

HI,
When I execute the query on query tool ( my database is sybase)
I am geting error at "as c1" part, as underlined in the query.
when I remove that and execute the query, It is generating the output.
here is the better view of query and error:

In BI EE 10g, there was no Oracle Client bundled along with BI EE. So, BI EE will use your Oracle DB Home client to connect to the database. So, when you try to connect to the database through the Repository or BI Server, it will try to find the tnsnames entry in the Oracle Client of BI EE 11g instead of your database. There are 2 options to work around this
Copy your tnsnames.ora and Paste it to
1. Drive:Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1}network\admin
2 Drive:Oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\network\admin
TNS File like,
DBName =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Your Server IP)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = DBName)

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: Physical Layer acting as level of abstraction against ddl change

Does anyone know of a way to insulate the RPD physical layer from DDL changes on the database. So, for instance a column name changes. Currently we use physical views (PVs) to provide a layer of abstraction but want to see if there is another solution. If the database team changes the name of a column, we want it to be seemless and not require changes within the RPD. There is the physical update in the utility box but this is manual so would not be a solution unless it could be automated. Any ideas on how to handle would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I don't think so there is any utility which captures the column name changes as such.
However you can do these things if your modelling comprises of views or Mviews.
You can ask your DBA to change the actual table column names but not Mviews or Views name.
In your view query you always use alias for each of the column in that way you can retain view columns even if base table column changes.
How ever you should change your view as and when your column name changes..
Please mark helpful or correct if it answers your question.

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

OBIEE 11g - usins Query as column

hi all,
I have a requirement to convert this SQL as a column value in OBIEE level
select count(*) from (
SELECT SUM(quantity),SUM(quantity_received),po_header_id FROM F_ERP_PO
group by po_header_id
having SUM(quantity) = SUM(quantity_received))
as a column value in OBIEE level . I am not sure how to proceed
either in rpd level or answers ...
I have similar sql conditions in my report for various columns of it .
Pls help
Reg ,
Niv

Hi,
In the Logical Fact table of F_ERP_PO,
1. First, create a logical column i.e measure SUM(quantity) as QUANTITY and another measure SUM(quantity_received) as QUANTITY_RECEIVED
2. Then create a new logical column - HEADER_COUNT
- Double click on it, Click on Column Source
- Click on the radio button "Derived from existing columns using an expression" and click on edit expression
- Under Category Click on Expressions -> IfCase -> Case
- Enter CASE WHEN QUANTITY = QUANTITY_RECEIVED THEN PO_HEADER_ID ELSE 0 END
Aggregation for this measure should be Count

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:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
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...

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.

Can not login to OBIEE 11g

Hi,
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:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.
Any idea. Anyone is having any exp on this type of issue. Can anyone guide to resolve this issue.
Thanks a lot.

Since you just installed last night I assume that you are just dev'ing on your laptop or something.
Be sure that on the machine which you installed on that you are entering http://localhost:9704/analytics/ to test the browser is hitting the correct server.
Also ensure that your Web Logic server is up and running and that all of your System Components via enteprise manager fusion control are "up" and running.
Also, when you start up the BI Services, i.e.: Programs > OBI > Start BI Services you must ensure that you enter the username and password correctly for the user/pass credentials that you created during the installation - typically this is the "weblogic" user by default.
For further help please post any actually log warning/error messages in your reply if the above does not work.
Let me know if that helps,

Physical Query in OBIEE 10g vs OBIEE 11g

Hi Everyone,
We're in the middle of an OBIEE 10g to an OBIEE 11.1.1.6.4 upgrade and as part of our assembly testing we were planning on comparing the physical query generated for a report generated in obiee 10g vs the physical query for a report in obiee 11g.
After a couple reports we noticed that the query structure in 11g is completely different than the query structure in 10g. The reports still generated the same data in 10g vs 11g. So my question is:
1) is it worth while (or necessary) to do a physical query comparison for an obiee 10g to 11g upgrade? or is validating the front-end report data & drill down/interactions adequate?
2) what are some general reasons why a query generates differently in obiee 10g vs 11g?

Pl post details of OS versions, exact database versions (to 4 digits) and init.ora parameters of the 10g and 11g databases. Have statistics been gathered after the upgrade ?
For posting tuning requests, pl see these threads

Re: View physical query issued by Obiee 11g

Guys,
I want to view the physical query generated by the report in OBIEE 11g, but in the logs, i can only see these queries: (Just writing the first line to illustrate)
SELECT
0 s_0,
"Marketing Contact List"."- Account Address"."Billing Abode Name" s_1,
And this query:
RqList distinct
0 as c1 GB,
Account.Billing Abode Name as c2 GB,
Both these queries are NOT the physical ones.
I have the appropriate log level, and even set it manually from the front end, but I'm unable to view the physical query. Please help!

A.Budd,
After running a report in OBIEE, click the Administration Link in the top right corner. New window appears and select "Manage Sessions". Look for the latest time executed that applies to the time you executed your report and click View Logs. Scroll almost to the bottom of the log.
What you are looking for is the generated logic that starts with "*With*"
WITH
SAWITH0 AS (select sum(T443244.AGING030) as c1,
sum(T443244.AGING6190) as c2,
sum(case when T443244.CURRENCYCODE = 'C
Copy the whole logic from WITH to the end of the logic (typically ends with Order By) (not the log) and paste it in your query tool. This is based on the physical layer.

OBIEE 11g : query log not found

Hi,
I am not able to see the query log in 11g answers manage session throwing error query log not found.
I am using obiee 11g. 11g admin client is installed in local machine and I upload the rpd through enterprise manager. But I can not able to open the rpd in online mode that's why cannot change the query log level=2 (as in obiee 10g) for seeing the query log in Answers. Usually after making changes in 11g rpd, I upload that in server via enterprise manager console.
Can anyone please tell me what should be correct option to see the query log and how I can open the rpd in online mode and how I can set the query log level in obiee 11g????
Please help.

Hi,
Its known bug and it can be done by below methods,
Method1:
If you enabled loglevel for each users wise it may be override with below place also can you confirm both places.
enabled Tools-->Options-->Repository-->
System log level by default will be 0 just try to increase to 2 or 3 and save it.
Method1:
by each report wise enabling loglevel
try putting the below syntax in prefix section of advanced tab.
SET VARIABLE LOGLEVEL=2,DISABLE_CACHE_HIT=1;
It should generate the log with database sql as well.
Method 3:
Create Session variable(LOGLEVEL) with initblock
in your init block --> datasource place put it like below query
select 3 from IW_POSITION
Note:just point any existing physical table from u r RPD.
Then try to save it and test it.
