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
If helpful, please mark

OBIEE 11g - Navigation from Hierarchy Column

Hi Experts,
I have created one Organization Hierarchy (Country --> Region --> State --> City) in the Logical Layer of the rpd and pull that hierarchy with the dimension in the Presentation Layer. In the new analysis I have created dashboard prompt with the Organization hierarchy and created a report showing Total Headcount column and Organization Hierarchy column (using selection steps feature in OBIEE 11g).
Now when I select Region from the dashboard prompt, in the report it is showing me total headcount according to my region selected in the prompt, but when I tried to navigate from the Total Headcount to see the list of employees in that particular region, I am not able to see the list of employees belonging that particular region rather it is showing me the list of total employees at the Country level.
PS - In the navigation report I am prompting Country, Region, State and City from the Organization dimension, but I am not able to prompt Country, Region, State and City from the hierarchy column which is there in the Organization dimension.
Please Help.

Hi,
You need to create the drill down report also using selection steps. I tried the drill down was working fine.
Thanks

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.

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 11g after expand Hierarchy Columns move the page to where the expand was clicked

Hi,
I have a question about expanding the hierarchy columns.
I have made so that some information are only show when press the + sign to expand extra information.
The problem I am having is that when the + sign is pressed to expand the content, the whole page get refresh and move back to the top of the page.
Is there a way to stay where the screen was after expanding, instead of going back to the top of page?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Niraj,
I think you are on 11.1.1.5 + version here. Now, that you have two security realms configured (one for AD and one default), please add one more parameter virtualize = true in the EM (just the page where you added user.name etc).
This parameter would help BI Server recognize the two realms set up here.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,

OBIEE 11g hierarchy drilldown custom headings

In an OBIEE 11g report, have a column which is in a hierarchy. Can use the properties and change that column heading from "Level 3" to more descriptive name in the Criteria.
When report is opened/run and that column is clicked, the next column is labelled "Level 2" and then "Level 1".
Because what is in the levels depends on what else is connected, cannot hardcode the text in the rpd.
If the Level 2 and Level 1 columns are pulled into the Criteria and either hidden or not put in the Results, the drilldown is removed from the Level 3 column.
How can the drilldown columns' headings be customized, changed for that report?

Try using Presentation variables, if the column is formatted in the reports.

Column Formula with Error in OBIEE 11g

Hello,
On Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 11g, I am trying to create an analysis. The database is MySQL. In the database, there is a field of type varchar(10). This
field shows a date. In OBIEE 11g, when creating the analysis, in the Criteria tab, I choose this column (varchar) and edit the formula of it. The operation that I want to do is:
YEAR(CURRENT_DATE) - SUBSTRING("TableName"."ColumnName" FROM 1 FOR 4) where the ColumnName is the name of the column of type varchar(10)
but I get an error: +[nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 27002] Near <->: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012]+
If I execute the same query directly on the MySQL database, I get the desired result without any error.
Also, if I use the following formula, I also get an error:
CAST((SUBSTRING("TableName"."ColumnName" FROM 1 FOR 4)) AS INTEGER)
So, I am asking why the first query throws an error in OBIEE 11g but not when it runs directly on the MySQL database. Also, how can I convert in OBIEE 11g a string to integer?
Thank you in advance,
Griselda

It could mean several different things. Do you know if the administrator have shut down the services? If you have access to the server, check to see if all the services are up and running.

OBIEE 11g - serious problem when rotating columns into "table prompt" area

Hi, I'm hitting an OBIEE 11g issue that's causing huge problems on reports. Essentially, the problem is this - if I dump all the columns of a query to a table, everything looks fine. But if I rotate one of the columns into the "table prompts" area, OBIEE is actually resubmitting a WRONG query. The query format changes from:

I completely do not understand what is going on here. The second query has a ton of problems. First off, it's doing some type of UNION operation - no idea why it's doing that. And the real problem is that it's unioning results from a different fact table, FACT_LEDGER_period instead of FACT_LEDGER_ytd, which is completely screwing up our results.
Long and short, I simply don't understand at all why the query should change just from rotating a column up into the table prompt area.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,
I see the query to be valid with each CTE doing the following Jobs.....
1. I understand that this particular query is being generated to get the unique "ORG_ID_DESC " to fill up the table prompts.
SAWITH0 AS (select distinct T12637.ORG_ID_DESC as c1
from
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNT T12582,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ORG T12637,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNTING_PERIOD T12597,
GL_ANALYTICS.FACT_LEDGER T38927 / FACT_LEDGER_period /
where ( T12582.ACCOUNT_KEY = T38927.ACCOUNT_KEY and T12597.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD = T38927.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD and T12597.FISCAL_YEAR = T38927.FISCAL_YEAR and T12582.STATEMENT_TYPE_CODE = 'Income Statement' and T12597.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD = 11 and T12597.FISCAL_YEAR = 2012 and T12637.ORG_KEY = T38927.ORG_KEY and T38927.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD = 11 and T38927.FISCAL_YEAR = 2012 and (T12637.DEPARTMENT_CODE_DESC in ('D0200 - Arts Administration', 'D0206 - Film Studies')) ) )
2. This particular query is to get each prompt value and its corresponding data
SAWITH1 AS (select sum(T38965.ORIGINAL_BUDGET) as c1,
T12637.ORG_ID_DESC as c2
from
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNT T12582,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ORG T12637,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNTING_PERIOD T12597,
GL_ANALYTICS.FACT_LEDGER T38965 / FACT_LEDGER_ytd /
where ( T12582.ACCOUNT_KEY = T38965.ACCOUNT_KEY and T12582.STATEMENT_TYPE_CODE = 'Income Statement' and T12597.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD = 11 and T12597.FISCAL_YEAR = T38965.FISCAL_YEAR and T12597.FISCAL_YEAR = 2012 and T12637.ORG_KEY = T38965.ORG_KEY and T38965.FISCAL_YEAR = 2012 and (T12637.DEPARTMENT_CODE_DESC in ('D0200 - Arts Administration', 'D0206 - Film Studies')) and T12597.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD >= T38965.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD )
group by T12637.ORG_ID_DESC)
3. This particular query, I understand is to get the following data (Sample data) relating the prompts and their corresponding data
column (c1) ;column (c2 ie ORG_ID_DESC); column(C3 ie sum(T38965.ORIGINAL_BUDGET))
0;               ORG_ID_DESC1; NULL
1;               ORG_ID_DESC1;10
0;               ORG_ID_DESC2;NULL
1;               ORG_ID_DESC2;40
0;               ORG_ID_DESC3;NULL
1;               ORG_ID_DESC3;29.8
SAWITH2 AS ((select distinct 0 as c1,
D1.c1 as c2,
cast(NULL as DOUBLE PRECISION ) as c3
from
SAWITH0 D1
union all
select distinct 1 as c1,
D1.c2 as c2,
D1.c1 as c3
from
SAWITH1 D1))
4. The last select statement does nothing but selecting the needed data which later gets arranged in the format as needed by the OBIPS
select D1.c1 as c1, D1.c2 as c2, D1.c3 as c3 from ( select D1.c1 as c1,
D1.c2 as c2,
D1.c3 as c3
from
SAWITH2 D1
order by c1, c2 ) D1 where rownum <= 65001
Now, on the table being chosen for picking up "ORG_ID_DESC" might be pretty much depending on the best source available as you know. If you would like BI Server to pick up any particular source, probably you could try the "LTS Priority Group" way.
Hope I was clear and it helps.
Thank you,

OBIEE-11g Double columns question

Hi guys, on my pc i've installed business intelligence suite 11.1.3 and now I need support about double columns feature. In the business model I've this hierarchy
Region -> Province -> Municipality
where the keys for each level are represented by the name of the element, the problem is that this keys are used to map geometric shapes to enable the map views features and the Municipality values are ambiguous in their domain (could exist two municipality with the same name but different province) in the official documentation is wrote that to unique identify a shape should be used a double columns field but when I 'apply the double field feature to the hierarchy levels the drill feature doesn't work properly and I get a strange filter error (seems that the system filter the value by id on the wrong field). Somebody could help me to understand if I can define a hierarchy where the keys have a descriptor id associated ?
Thanks a lot Regards

I 've also come up with the same issue. I am using OBIEE 11G (11.1.1.5.0) and Oracle Mapviewer Ver11_1_1_4_B110225.
On the RPD, My hierarchy is defined as: District -> Quarter -> Neighbourhood.
For each hierarchy level I am using:
District Logical Level keys:
District Id: Primary Key
District Name: Use for Display
Quarter Logical Level Keys:
Quarter Id: Primary Key
Quarter Name: Use for Display
Neighbourhood Logical Level Keys:
Neighbourhood Id: Primary Key
Neighbourhood Name: Use for Display
I need to associate each Mapviewer theme's ID (District ID, Quarter ID, Neighbourhood ID) with a relevant BI column, because the theme names are not distinct.
I have set the double column (Descriptor Id) feature: (District ID, Quarter ID, Neighbourhood ID) on each BI name column (BI Distict Name, BI Quarter Name, BI
Neighbourhood Name) of the business model and associated the layer key (ID) of each Mapviewer theme with the corresponding BI name column.
On the map view, drilling down from District to Quarter works properly, but I get the following action error while drilling down from quarter to neighbourhood:
An error occurred while trying to generate drill down query.
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError:
46036] Internal Assertion: Condition rowValues.size() == numColumns, file server\Query\Src\SQNavigatorAccess.cpp, line 495. (HY000)
SQL Issued: {CALL NQSGenerateDrillDownQuery('SELECT District Name saw_0, Quarter Name saw_1, DESCRIPTOR_IDOF(District Name) saw_2, DESCRIPTOR_IDOF(Quarter Name)
saw_3 FROM "Subject Area" WHERE DESCRIPTOR_IDOF(District) = 5','1','''5'',''31'',31','-1 -1 -1 -1 -1','0,2,3')}
However, if I add a table view on my analysis and click on the table view's quarter link, drilling down works ok both for the table and for the map view.
Moreover, I tried removing the double column (descriptor Id) feature from the business model while maintaining the hierarchy as described above.
I then associated the layer key (ID) of each Mapviewer theme with the corresponding BI ID column instead of the BI name column.
On the map view while drilling down from District to Quarter, a filter to a specific District is applied, but the associated Quarters theme is not displayed.
Finally, if I enable the "Use for Display" checkbox for each hierarchy level's primary key on the RPD, and maintain the association between the layer key (ID) of
each Mapviewer theme with the corresponding BI ID column, drilling down works correctly but only on the ID.
I need drilling down to work while clicking on the each name BI column of the hierarchy while defining the association on the layer key ID of each mapviewer
theme. Is this possible? Any ideas?

Peoplesoft Trees as Hierarchial Columns in OBIEE 11g

Sorry for a duplicate posting. Logged in as a normal user with random number. I know how much people hate it. Logged in as myself now.
Hi,
I have extensively searched using Google or 11g docs but could not find a proper solution to using Peoplesoft trees in form of hierarchial columns in obiee 11g. Can the rpd of obiee 11g be designed to view the Peoplesoft tree structure( as it is in Tree manager in Pplsoft) as hierachial columns in obiee 11g? I am sure hierarchial columns as a 11g feature are not just for visual representation in tree format but also can be viewed in Answers and queried against it,am I right?
Anybody who has worked on trees and OBIEE 11g hierarchial columns? Ahsan/Navin??
Thanks,
Dan

I have not used the 11g hierarchical columns for PSoft Trees but I can think of a glaring reason NOT to do this..PERFORMANCE. If I understand correctly, 11g issues a group by and Union as you traverse this type of structure and PeopleSoft trees have a number of tables to represent the actual TREE. I cannot possibly see how this can be effective especially with a large scale BI Apps DW? This is part of the reason the trees get flattened out via the OOTB ETL adaptors for PSoft.

Concatenate two columns in Obiee 11g

Hi,
I am trying to concatenate two columns from same table in OBIEE 11G , i tried all below syntax
cast("Period"."Year" as Varchar)|| cast ("Period"." Month Name" as Varchar)
cast("Period"."Year" as char)|| cast ("Period"." Month Name" as char)
contact(cast("Period"."Year" as char), cast ("Period"." Month Namer" as char))
I am getting this error as - Invalid Alias Format : Table_name.Column_name require . Plz Help me Guys
Thanks
Edited by: Neha on Apr 16, 2012 3:41 PM

Column forumal example based on vanilla usage tracking RPD:
cast("Query Time"."Year" as varchar(4)) || "Query Time"."Month"BTW: "Month Name" implies a string already so I doubt you'll need to cast it as one...

How to Hide a column in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I am trying to hide a column of presantation layer table in OBIEE 11g. But it is not working.
I am doing the follwoing.
Open the permission tab of the column.
Given no access to Everyone.
Given No access the user/Application Role.
When i go to web, the column is getting displayed in the table list. But, when i select the column and press the result button, it is not giving the result.
It means, by doing the above steps it is restricting the data but visibility of column is already there.
Same way it works for OBIEE 10g. Could you please let me know this feature has been removed from 11g or if it is still there then how we can achieved that.
Thanks in Advance

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.

Titas

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.

Using CASE WHEN for Essbase column in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I have a business model in OBIEE 11g, taking the source from Essbase 11. The measures of the Essbase cube in the physical layer is flattened, and the aggregations for the measures are set to SUM.
The Product dimension has 5 generations. In Product logical table, I created a logical column called "Product Grouping" using a simple CASE WHEN formula:
CASE
WHEN "TEST"."Product"."Gen5,Product" IN ('100-10', '100-20', '200-10', '300-10') THEN 'Group 1'
WHEN "TEST"."Product"."Gen5,Product" IN ('100-30', '200-20') THEN 'Group 2'
ELSE 'Group 3'
END
Problems:
1. If I don't place this "Product Grouping" in the logical level/hierarchy, I got error in the report when I simply show Product Grouping and a measure.
2. If I place this "Product Grouping" in the logical level/hierarchy (on the 5th level), no more error in the report when I simply show "Product Grouping" and a measure. The measure value also shows the correct SUM (group by). However, when I add "Gen1,Product" the "Product Grouping" and the measure value suddenly becomes not grouped by.
Has anyone ever tried and encountered something like this? Any thoughts?
Thank you very much!

Hi Deepak, thansk for the suggestion.
However, I can't use calculated item for this report because:
1. incorrect result will be shown when my measures involve a formula to derive a percentage value.
2. calculated item is not available if we do "combine requests" (or union) in 11g.
Any thoughts anyone on how to solve this? Is this just me, or it's a bug?
Thank you very much.
