OBIEE 11g - View selector performance with YTD,MTD,Dept ...

We are implementing BI Apps 7963 OBIEE 11.1.5. Financial Analytics. We have a financial report with multiple compound layout views MTD,YTD, by company, by dept.We are experiencing some memory leak issues by Sawserver when we run the report. How does the view selector works ? does it run the query in Database when first time report is accessed and then build all these different views on BI server or query will be run against database for specific view when accessed? Any known performance issues with view selectors ? Any one used view selector for different versions of reports (MTD, YTD ..).
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

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.

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,

OBIEE 11g Initialization Block problem with WLS User

Hello,
a brief description of my environment:
- I have one machine with all OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 components (build 120604.0813 BP1 64bit) and Oracle Database 11gR2;
- In a separate machine I have the OID - Oracle Internet Directory where I have all business users with access to OBI Presentation Services;
- In Weblogic Console I created a user named "weblogic" and this one is the administrator of all BI environment, this user is member of BIAdministrator and Administrators group, also this user is used to perform the communication between Fusion Middleware and Weblogic;
- In weblogic Console I created a second user named "init_test" and he have the BIAuthor Role like the users that come from OID;
- I have no problem logging in with all users OID and weblogic.
Problem:
- I created a simple Initalization Block and a variable to contain the result of the follow sql: SELECT region FROM adm_test_region WHERE city='Lisboa'
- Initialization Blocks for Session variables are not working for "weblogic" user. For all other users everything is working as expected (users from OID and "init_test").
Question:
- There is any restriction in terms of Initialization Blocks for Session variables regarding the user that is linking Oracle Fusion Middleware with Oracle Weblogic?
Thank you in advance,

Thank you in advance,When you say they are not working:
1) You are using the session variables in a data filter in the RPD and for weblogic, the filter does not get applied?
2) When trying to display the value of the sessoin variable in an analysis query, it errors out saying no value?
As a BI Administrator, no data filters gets applied to the reports from the RPD unless you explicitly add them in the front end to the reports.
You can also open the RPD in online mode, and go to sessions and kill everything, login using weblogic and monitor the sessions to see if a session is being created and the list of variables getting intilialized upon weblogic's entry into analytics.

OBIEE 11g Front End Calculations with Presentation Variables Error

Hi Guru's,
Long time user first time poster to the forums but hopefully you can help.
I have a requirement to perform an aggregation on certain fields with a dynamic grouping requirement (so users can select which grouping they require ie, sum profit by [outlets or companies or region]).
The approach I am using is a prompt setting a presentation variable with the possible groupings for the calculation as choices, and a column in the report with a formula to SUM("table"."column" by "@{variable}{default}") this also contains a dynamic column name containing the presentation variable too.
Where the column could be profit and the variable prompt options could be outlet, company or region (from the above example).
This is currently separate from the RPD due to the dynamic nature required with groupings changing at run time and is done in the front end.
However on selecting some columns via the prompt I receive this error:
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 22027] Union of non-compatible types. (HY000)
This only occurs on some field groupings, and is not a certain type in particular. (Including both short date, short time and varchars).
Any ideas where this problem could stem from?
Regards.

Based on given info: Try this
SUM(cast("table"."column" as int) by "@{variable}{default}")
Pls mark if helps

View maps on OBIEE 11g Dashboard

Hi All,
My Installation: I have OBIEE 11g installed on Windows Server 2008. My Database is SQL Server 2012.
My Requirement: Display maps in OBIEE Dashboard.
Firstly, from the various posts available online, I have understood that the OBIEE 11g MapViewer works ONLY with Oracle database. If this is true then I need another way to view maps because I don't have Oracle DB.
Can I have Google maps on my OBIEE dashboard ?
Any suggestions/advice will be highly appreciated.
Thanks n Regards

Windows Services for OBIEE 11G

Hi Guy's..
I have successfully installed OBIEE 11G Enterprise Edition and able to access OBIEE 11G via http://localhost:9704/analytics/saw.dll?bieehome&startPage=1 by only starting the 'Start BI Services'.
The issue what i am facing is OBIEE 11G is only opening/accessible when i logged in to server( Starting the 'Start BI Services').Once i logout then unable to login to OBIEE11G via above link.
Can any one tell me i am missing with any install/configuration steps in installing the OBIEE11G? Please guide to the chapter in documentation..
If not then why OBIEE 11G software is built with out included with Windows Services.
I mean 'OBIEE 11G Services' have to always running with out dependencies on 'User Logged In or not',My objective is to make OBIEE 11G always up and running..

Hi,
Given below is the status..

YTD & MTD day wise while input is month

Hi,
In a report I have to provide selection as a month & plant.
Output should contain day wise sales detail with YTD & MTD.
I am not getting how to calculate YTD & MTD day wise while selection input is Month.
Plz suggest me wt to do.
Regards,
Kiran

Hi,
Check in SDN
MTD and YTD fig calculations
It works based on SY-DATUM.
* First Month Of Current Fiscal year comment*
    WHEN 'FMYEAR'.
LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WHERE vnam = 'ZMONTH'.
      CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT'
             EXPORTING
               i_date               = sy-datum
*         I_MONMIT             = 00
               i_periv              = 'V3'
            IMPORTING
              e_buper              = zbuper
              e_gjahr              = zbdatj.
      CLEAR: l_s_range.
      l_s_range-low+4(2) = '04'.
      l_s_range-low+0(4) = zbdatj.
      l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
      l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
      APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
     ENDLOOP.
Note: In the above code I passed i_date = sy-datum, so you pass your month as input for i_date.
i.e. Fix the DD = '01' and concatename your Input month with DD teh you get YYYYMMDD so pass that to i_date.
Thanks

OBIEE 11g PDF "extending" to 9 pages, Pivot view extending with blank pages

Hi,
I have an issue when printing to PDF. The last report in the dashboard,especially the pivot view is not getting contained in the dashboard. It is running
to 9 pages.
I tried increasing the file size
(referred from the below link)
http://123obi.com/2012/01/obiee-11g-exportprint-to-pdf-does-not-include-all-rows/
This also did not work.
When I try printing it to HTML, its perfect. Problem is only with printing to PDF format.

Hi Malli,
Have you restarted the BI Services after the changes?

OBIEE 11g "WITH SAWITH0 AS" subquery factoring clause in the generated sql

I've observed that the OBIEE 11g generates in the query log physical query using the WITH (sub-query factoring) clause to make the generated sql elegantly readable. This is great! Thanks for the developers. However I have some questions about this.
__Background__
Oracle Database' default behaviour is that if you have only one sub-query in the WITH section, it executes it as an in-line view and does not materialize it before the main sql is executed. If you have more than one, by default the database engine materializes all of them in the order of the definition. In some cases this can completely blow up the SGA and make the query never ending. To divert this behaviour you can apply two hints that work both in inline views and in sub-queries as well: /*+ MATERIALIZE */ and /*+ INLINE*/, however Analytics 11g does not seem to have hint capabilities at the logical table level, only at physical table level.
If we go with the current defaults, developers not aware of this feature can bump into serious performance issues for the sake of some syntax candy at the generated sql level, I'm afraid.
__Questions__
* Is it possible to turn the Analytics server not to use WITH but use inline views instead?
* Is there any way to sneak in some hints that would put the /*+ INLINE */ hint to the appropriate place in the generated sub-queries if needed
* Does the Oracle Database have any initialization parameter that can influence this sub-query factoring behavior and divert from the default?

The WITH statement is not added to make the query more elegant, it's added for performance reasons. If your queries take long to run then you may have a design issue. In a typical DWH DB SGA needs to be seriously increased since the queries ran are much larger and complex than on an OLTP DB. In any case you can disable the WITH statement in the Admin Tool by double clicking on your database object on the physical layer and going to the Features tab. The feature is called WITH_CLAUSE_SUPPORTED.
