Obiee 11g tooltips/mousover/hover issue

I have a client who has a database table which contains the tooltip text for each row in the database. She would like to have an image of a question mark so that when the image is "moused over"/"hovered over", the tooltip text is displayed without actually displaying the tooltip as a table column, she would like it to "pop up" only if the user decides to mouse over/hover over the image of the question mark, which is titled "Learn More About This Metric ...".
Any thoughts? We're on OBIEE v11.1.1.6.2.
Thanks, Dottie

Column Header Tooltip (mouse over) in OBIEE
You can set Tooltip/mouse over functionality over column header of the
table. You can add HTML tag within column header. steps are -
1. Go to column format and check custom heading
2. add html tag like <b title="My Tooltip">My Column Header
3. Go to instanceconfig.xml
4. Edit it and add tag - *<HardenXSS>false </HardenXSS>*
5. Restart the services.

OBIEE 11g client ODBC/OCI issue

Hi Experts
I have been installed OBIEE 11g on Linux Box and installed Client in my Windows machine and I can connect to the server rpd also still here it is working fine
Now I want to enhance the existing rpd by connecting to the Oracle database to newly created schema
when I connect through OCI/ODBC interface it is showing an error (here I have been used local machine instead of Remote server from "import from metadata")
is there any additional configuration requred which need to do?

Hi
Thanks for your inputs but I can not find the path that you specified in my cliient machine(windows)
1.Copy the tnsnames.ora from Oracle Database home (ORACLE_HOME\NETWORK\ADMIN\) to the following locations.
*\OracleBI1\network\admin (Example: C:\OBI\Oracle_BI1\network\admin)*
*\oracle_common\network\admin (Example: C:\OBI\oracle_common\network\admin)*
weather we have any other path for client machine or I have to do the changes in server side(Linux)
waiting for your response

OBIEE 11g Action Link translation issue

Hi All,
I have a translation issue with the Action links in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 version.
The pop-up which is displayed on clicking the column having action link is not getting translated. This seems to be the issue with all the action links.
All other catalog objects, captions etc are translated properly.
Has anyone faced similar issues ? Is there a workaround for this ?
Thanks for any pointers.

Action links are not getting translated. I faced a similar problem in OBIEE 11.1.1.6 version.
What you can do is replace that action link with a 'link or image' option in dashboard objects.
'Link or Image' types of object get translated in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 as well as OBIEE 11.1.1.6 version.
hope this helps.

OBIEE 11g: SAML SSO performance issues

Hi All,
We have implemented IDP initiated SAML2-SSO with SQL Authenticator to get user/group information.
After implementing this we see following issues:
1. Login time takes around 1 minute. In nqserver.log file I can see following message:
[2014-12-22T12:55:09.000-05:00] [OracleBIServerComponent] [NOTIFICATION:1] [] [] [ecid: 0000Kdn8fzjFO99_ndL6iZ1Ka4_f0000FW,0:1:1:6] [tid: 1594] User 'BISystemUser(XXXX)' spent 28720.000000 milliseconds for http response when impersonateUserWithLanguageAndProperties
2. General navigation through application is also slow.
Can you please provide any pointers to fix these performance issues?
Thanks,
Mahipal

I am experiencing performance issues with view selector. It repeats the SQL for each view resulting in duplicate SQL to be run and thus resulting in poor performance of reports. Is this an expected behavior of view selector?
Thanks.

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.

Hi ,
I normally do this to fix this problem
1>Disable the network , keep the loopback adaptor enabled and then restart the services.
2> You can enable the network after services are restarted.
If you want a more practical solution and dont want to disable network again and again, then you would find the blog below useful.

Issue in Dashboard Prompt of OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I had recently migrated from OBIEE 10g to OBIEE 11g.
I had found that there are lot of things which were working on OBIEE 10g are not working in OBIEE 11g.
For Eg:
I have scenario where i have 2 dashboards with different dashboard prompts.
- *1st Dashboard*: I have prompt with 4 columns Year, Month, Qtr and Week. I can filter the data based on the selection of prompt.i.e Summary Report showing all KPIs and when clicked on the any of the KPI it goes to Below report which shows the graphical view of past weeks data.
- Report: Here i show all the week Ids in the Graph format and when clicked on the any week id it navigates to 2nd Dashboard(below) with appropriate week populated in the prompt and show the detailed records.
- *2nd Dashboard*: I have prompt with 5 columns Year, Month, Qtr, Week and Day of the Week with some detailed report. Here the only Week Id should be pre populated and show data based on the week id selection in the above report.
The issue here in OBIEE 11g is, The month Id which was selected in 1st Dashboard prompt is also getting pre populated into the 2nd dashboard prompt. Which should not happen.
Note: This was working fine in OBIEE 10g.
Is there any way to fix this issue in OBIEE 11g.
Regards
Shyam
Edited by: user9954342 on Dec 23, 2010 2:01 AM

Hi Bala,
Thank you for your response.
I had tried that and resolved my problem but it was impacting other reports i.e
I have other reports in 1st Dashboard with different tabs, Here i want the prompt value to be persisted across the reports in same dashboard so that when i go to other tab with in same dashboard the prompt value should be pre-populated and the data should be filtered against that.
Now if i change the scope to page then i will be loosing this functionality.
It was working on OBIEE 10g and i lost this after migrating to OBIEE 11g.
Can you please help me in this regard.
Regards
Shyam

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
Gavin

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

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!
Marcos

OBIEE 11g Issue with "group by"

Hello,
I have issues with the physical queries generated by OBIEE engine.
All the facts are at detailed granular level. when I query the table, group by clause is excluded from the query. following is the sample query generated by OBIEE 11g engine.
select 0 as c1,
D1.c2 as c2,
D1.c1 as c3,
D2.c3 as c4,
D2.c2 as c5,
D2.c1 as c6
from
(select distinct T48494.SMBL as c1,
T48494.EXP_DT as c2
from
VW_CONTRACT_DETAILS T48494
where ( T48494.EXP_DT in (TO_DATE('2012-09-03 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), TO_DATE('2012-09-19 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')) )
) D1,
(select sum(T48494.TRADED_VOL) as c1,
sum(T48494.TRADED_VAL) as c2,
sum(T48494.TOTAL_TRADES) as c3
from
VW_CONTRACT_DETAILS T48494
where ( T48494.EXP_DT in (TO_DATE('2012-09-03 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), TO_DATE('2012-09-19 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')) )
) D2
order by c3, c2
I'm getting similar kind of issues(exclusion of group by from query) even when i query other fact tables as well. Is there any global change to be made?
Regards,
Kishore

Does it mean you are expecting a group by on
D1.c1, D1.c2?
So query should like
select 0 as c1,
D1.c2 as c2,
D1.c1 as c3,
D2.c3 as c4,
D2.c2 as c5,
D2.c1 as c6
from
(select distinct T48494.SMBL as c1,
T48494.EXP_DT as c2
from
VW_CONTRACT_DETAILS T48494
where ( T48494.EXP_DT in (TO_DATE('2012-09-03 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), TO_DATE('2012-09-19 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')) )
) D1,
(select sum(T48494.TRADED_VOL) as c1,
sum(T48494.TRADED_VAL) as c2,
sum(T48494.TOTAL_TRADES) as c3
from
VW_CONTRACT_DETAILS T48494
where ( T48494.EXP_DT in (TO_DATE('2012-09-03 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), TO_DATE('2012-09-19 00:00:00' , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')) )
) D2
group by c3, c2 ---> added line
order by c3, c2
