OBIEE 11g : Report throwing TNS Error

Hi,
We have installed OBIEE 11g in Linux server. After replacing the Out-of-the-box RPD.
The reports are throwing following TNS Error:
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65PState: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.

[nQSError: 17014] Could not connect to Oracle database. (HY000)SQL Issued: SELECT 0 s_0, "Assets"."Product"."Product" s_1 FROM "Assets" FETCH FIRST 65001 ROWS ONLY
What configurations we need to re-check?

HI,
Please cross check you rpd connection pool details in physical layer like below.
Data source name

Or,
Login Weblogic Console with admin username/pwd.
Goto Services -> JDBC -> Data Sources.
Select Lock & Edit button
Select Data Source "bip_datasource" link in the available Data Sources list
Select Connection Pool tab
.... Change the URL|Driver|Properties|Password
Select Save button.
OR,
you have to go to WEblogic Enterprise Manager (http://<server>:7001/em/. Then go to Business Intelligence folder -> coreapplication. Go to "Deployment" tab and then to "Scheduler" tab. Change the database field to point to the new DB and apply changes.
Or,
Please check Database services running or not including TNS listner service also.
Hope this helps.

OBIEE 11g Report UI not showing data

Hi,
On Obiee 11g Report, the query hit by the report at the backend shows results for all the columns but on UI only few of these columns show the data. From Query log, when I run the same query in the database I see all columns have data which is somehow not showing up on the UI end. What could be the problem? Can this be resolved or is it a bug in the OBIEE 11g?
Regards
VM

Hi Vanaja M/Gurus,
Is that your problem resolved?
I'm facing same issue here.
I was checking for solution/suggestions in blogs, but unfortunately i couldn't find much information in blogs too....
Can you help me out to cross this hurdle, as this issue is in Production.

ToolTip in OBIEE 11G Reports when we hover on its data!!

Hello gurus,
I have a requirement where I have to display ToolTip in OBIEE 11G reports when one hovers on its data. For example, If I have a column in a report which displays "serial no." say the data in column is 1,2,3,4,5 etc. when I hover on 1, it should display name corresponding to it. when I hover on 2, it should display another name.
These values which will be displayed on hover action can be hardcoded, they are static values.
Thanks in advance !!

Hi User,
Try this , Goto Column Properties of a particular Column ->Data Format->Check mark "Override Default Data Format" and select
Treat Numbers As : Custom
In Custom Numeric Format, Copy paste this code: [html]<p title=\""Comments which you want to Mention" \">#
Please Mark helpful if it is correct.

Different calculation on each column in table in obiee 11g report??

Hi ,
I have to display values in a table for measures in obiee 11g report which should hold different calculation on each column. For ex:
Result 1:
Flag Display   Transaction Amount
C      'A'                 2              3
C      'B'                 3               0
       SubTotal1            5             3
Result 2:
Flag Display   Transaction Amount
H      'C'                 2              11
H      'D'                  0              0
       SubTotal2          2             11
Result 3:
Flag Display   Transaction Amount
H      'C'                 1              0
H      'D'                  1            0
       SubTotal3          2            0
Final Result:(Transaction shd hold :-subtotal1-subtal2 , Amount should hold:-subtotal1-subtal2+subtota3)
Flag   Display               Transaction         Amount
C    'total tran(1-2)              3                     8
       Total Amnt(1-2+3)'
Please help me how can i achieve this ... ??? I am new to OBIEE 11g.
Thanks,
Pavi

There are a few things I cannot understand; I'm assuming Transaction and Amount are fact columns. Then how do they have different values for the same values of Flag and Display ??
Anyway, sub total can be achieved by going to edit view for the table and from columns and measures area under the Layout pane click on the summation icon and select After. This will automatically display a grand total value at the bottom of each fact column.
Now, to get the final result, say Total Transaction you can add a dummy column and edit its formula.
     Total Transaction = trans_subtotal1 - trans_subtotal2 and
     Total Amount = amt_subtotal1 - amt_subtotal2 + amt_subtotal3
     Now if we could say that trans_subtotal1 is the total of transaction value when Flag = 'C' or something like that then you can get this value of subtotal1 by using the formula FILTER(SUM("Subject Area"."Folder".Transaction Column") USING (DESCRIPTOR_IDOF("Subject Area"."Folder"."Flag column") = 'C')). Similarly we can obtain subtotal2 and subtract them to get the total transaction value. But I am sure if we can do this because for the same values of Flag and Display, Transaction has different values. But by using the above formula, the values we obtain for subtotals 2 and 3 will be the same. So calculating Total Amount would be a problem.
The above formula is obtained by going to edit formula and selecting the filter option at the bottom of the edit dialog box.
Hope I made my point clear

Publisher "link to this report" throwing js error

When viewing a report I'm getting a javascript error when trying to click "Link to this report":
'reportLinksMenu' is not defined.
Anyone else having this issue?

Your post is from 2008...but same javascript error is still available with bip 10g event with latest patchset (that is of may 2011)
To resolve this error you need to do the following and save your report after thos modifications :
- Add an RTF template to your report
- Add a layout to corresponding RTF template for your report
After thos changes, you'll be able to click on "Link to this report" without geting the javascript error message
It looks like "Link to this report" throws this error only when there is no layout defined for xdo (that is the report).
You need to add a template because you cannot save the report if the layout has no template (that is the rtf)

OBIEE 11g Report-When drilling down to lower level, totals are not matching

Hi All,
I am creating a report in Analytics 7.9.6.3 , OBIEE 11g - Let’s say Budget Cost/Actual Cost based on the Date Dimension
Have selected the Fiscal Year Dim, Fact Budget Cost, Fact Actual Cost
FY BCost ACost
2011 100 120
2012 150 140
Total 250 260
But here when I am drilling down from Year to Quarter and Period - The values are not matching with the totals....
FY FY Qrt BCost ACost
2011 2011 Q1 80 100
2011 Q2 100 90
2011 Q3 110 120
2011 Q4 90 130
Total 380 440
Fiscal Year, Fiscal Quarter Budget Cost and Actual Cost are not returning correct results – When selecting cost's by fiscal year, or filtering on a specific fiscal year, the amount returned does not equal the fiscal year total;
when I am drilling down to Quarter and Period Level the BCost & ACosts are bumping the Numbers as above and not matching with totals
Any suggestions?

Check out the query in both the times.Execute against database and try to sum the data for quarter/period and compare it with Year data.
Just try to differentiate is it a report total that is getting wrong or the data in the database table itself is getting wrong stored.
Mark as helpful if it helps.

Oracle Forms 11g - ORA-12154: TNS error

Okay, before I post my info, I searched and searched everywhere via Google, OTN, Experts-Exchange, etc...to try to figure this one out and I'm stumped. So here goes. I get the dreaded "*ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified*" error. Here's my environment:
Server: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 version runs the following:
Oracle Database 11g (Rel 1): 11.2.0.10
Oracle Fusion Middleware Forms Server 11g (Rel. 11.1.1.2.0)
I can connect via SQL+ no problem
Client: My Windows XP Professional PC.
I can TNSPING the database SID no problem.
I can connect via SQL+ no problem
I can connect via TOAD to the db no problem
I can connect to Oracle Enterprise Manager via the web interface no problem
I do have 2 Oracle Homes (Oracle 8.0.6, Oracle 11.1.0.1) on my PC. Currently the current home is the 11g one. I do have my paths on my PC setup fine.
The problem is when I try to run a sample form via the web I created, the login prompt comes up and I enter my username/password/database SID and that's when I get the error. Any clues as to what I should look for? Eventually this will be an app that all the users will be accessing and they shouldn't have to worry about having anything setup on their PCs.
Thanks

I looked and there WAS a tnsnames in the directory "Oracle/Middleware/asinst_1/config"....*BUT* it was a sample one. Meaning there was no entry just comments showing you a sample version of a TNS Names entry. So I copied my entry from another TNSNAMES and put it in there and voila...I was able to connect.
Thank you very much. This was driving me nutz all of last week!

Obiee 11g RPD consistency check error after upgrade

Hi,
got below error in RPD consistency check after upgrading from obiee 10g to obiee 11.1.1.6.

above is formula for logical column "Age" and data type for that is varchar in physical
few more erros similar to above.
how can I fix the issue? appreciate for your help.
Thanks
Jay.

HI,
As I said, Age has valid datatype in physical layer but datatype is showing as "Unknown" in logical layer after upgrade to 11g. many other columns got same issue just for this logical table. I rebuild the logical column mapped to physical sources but it didn't fix the issue.
I hope you understand the issue.
Thanks

'Content viewing' in 'Audit Log reports' throws timout error

I have enabled 'Reports' in the site collection features and I am tryin gto generate the 'Content viewing' in 'Audit Log reports'. This keeps me waiting for a couple of minutes and throws a timeout error. Could you please let me know why is this happening
and is there any way to resolve it ?
I am getting the below error in UI and in my logging database
System.Exception

Hi,
According to your issue, firstly, please check if your hardware performance is poor or the site collection has numerous data, if so, improve the hardware or pull the
data out of the tables, then check the effect.
Secondly, if you cannot view audit reports for the site http://servername /sites/sitename
Try to detach and attach content database for the site you want to view, then check the effect.

OBIEE 11g Report Level Conditional Filters

Is it possible to have conditional filtering of data in obiee answers once data is retrieved.
i.e without hitting the database again.
e.g I have the sales details for a region. Once the report is displayed in dashboard, can the users filter records based on sales figures > 10,000 etc?
thanks

Hi,
I understand that you want the cache to have the latest data instead of stale data. For the BI server to have the Latest Data the only way is to get the latest data from Database, so it has to hit the DB. We cannot help it ,but we can control when it can hit and the number of times according to our usage and the changes to the DB.
We can use the seeding cahe option to keep the cache up to date (Using Agents), the time interval is your wish(Generally right after the ETL load).
