OBIEE 11g - zoom to datarange option

I have problem and I wonder is it bug or is it missing functionality in OBI 11g.
In OBI 10 g we have possibility to set range of axis dynamically on line charts (and other).
It is achived by "Axis scaling" window and checkbox "Zoom to datarange". It works fine.
In example in OBI 10g: I have a year trend chart with five lines (dimension with five values). Each lines for each month oscillates near value 100000 (+/- 10%). First we have Y-axis from 0 to 120000 so lines are high on the charts, are flat and overlap each. But when we use "Zoom to datarange" checkbox range of Y-axis changes automatically to values min=90000 and max=120000 and chart looks fine- lines are extend in vertical - and don't overlap.
In OBI11g we don't have "Zoom to datarange" only "dynamic" checkbox which doesn't work - we can only choose Default (Dynamic) or Specify (manually). When we use Default (Dynamic) we have always axis begging from 0 (in case mentioned above). I can't "unflat" and vertically extend my chart.
Don't suggest me to use option "Specific" and set min=90000 and max =120000 because it will be very static solution useless with dashboards prompts which filters dataset for chart.
Is anybody who know some workaround?

Hi,
A bug has been raised for the same.Plz refer the below link:

OBIEE 11g and In-memory options

With all the data In-memory options, has anyone utilized any of these vendors with OBIEE?
My question is for those who don't go the Exalytics route, as it seems with Oracle in order to utilize their Times Ten In-Memory option with OBIEE you have to purchase the Exalytics appliance.
We had discussins with Terracotta and their BigMemory offering, however, they aren't aware of any customers using it with OBIEE as it offers a JDBC connection which the RPD can't utilize.
Anyone have any experience or thoughts on this?

Who said you must buy Exalytics in order to use TT with OBIEE? If you already have it, just create an RPD connection pools and off you go. You won't be able to use all the nice bits 'n pieces a full Exalytics sports, but where OBIEE is concerned, it's just a source like any other.

"execute direct database request" option is not availavle in my OBIEE 11g

Hi All Experts,
In my OBIEE-11g there is no option available of "execute direct database request" in subject area pane.Please give the solution.
Thanks In Advance

By default, this privilege is only assigned to BI Administrator Role. I'm sure you are not under BI Administrator Role and that's the reason you can't find DDR option. Ask, you Administrator to provide your application role access to 'Execute Direct Database Analysis' & 'Edit Direct Database Analysis' under Manage Privileges > Answers.
Try using DDR very carefully...You shud understand its pros and cons

Buttons not showing up for Writeback option in OBIEE 11g

Hey guys,
I'm struggling with the writeback option in OBIEE 11g.
I've made all the required changes as per the documentation.
1) Making the column writeable in BMM layer.
2) Giving the column and the table read/write permission in the presentation layer.
3) writing the query in the xml for insert and update and have put it in the right path.
4) Modified the instance config and included the <Lightwriteback>true</Lightwriteback> in it.
5) Enable the column with writeback property.
6)Enabled the table view property with writeback.
However when i untick the table toggle mode,it makes the column editable but without any update button.
whereas if i tick the table toggle mode it neither makes the column editable nor does it shows up any button.
Could somebody help me out with the solution.
Thanks,
Anirban

Anirban,
You need to make sure that 'Write Back to Database' privilages have been correctly setup for you. If you have admin rights on the catalog, you should be able to check and modify it under Security > Manage Privilages on the Administration screen.

How to show all the rows in PRint html option in obiee 11g

Hi ,
I am facing a issue in obiee 11g(windows 2003 server). I have 2 environments (SIT & dev)
In dev I am not facing any issue but in SIT when i print the report in html only 1-25 rows are displayed.
What should i do to see all the rows
Thanks in advance
Abdul

Hi,
In your Dev Server its configured on instanceconfig.xml file that why are getting the all rows with setting pdf/print control properties.
1. Change instanceconfig.xml file in <biee11g_install>\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1 as following
<Views>
<Pivot>

<DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery>75</DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery>

<DefaultRowsDisplayedInDownload>2500</DefaultRowsDisplayedInDownload>

<DisableAutoPreview>false</DisableAutoPreview>
<MaxVisibleColumns>5000</MaxVisibleColumns>
<MaxVisiblePages>2500</MaxVisiblePages>
<MaxVisibleRows>500000</MaxVisibleRows>
<MaxVisibleSections>5000</MaxVisibleSections>
</Pivot>
<Table>

<DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery>75</DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery>

<DefaultRowsDisplayedInDownload>2500</DefaultRowsDisplayedInDownload>
<MaxVisiblePages>2500</MaxVisiblePages>
<MaxVisibleRows>500000</MaxVisibleRows>
<MaxVisibleSections>5000</MaxVisibleSections>
</Table>
</Table>
</Views>
3. Note the new elements added are the following to both <Pivot> and <Table>, the Pivot part controls Pivot view, and Table part controls Table View, my testing was done with Table View.
<MaxVisiblePages>2500</MaxVisiblePages>
<MaxVisibleRows>500000</MaxVisibleRows>
<MaxVisibleSections>5000</MaxVisibleSections>
4. Restart Presentation Server from EM, then run your request, do pdf export to verify.
Note:
When a table or pivot table includes a large number of rows, a set of buttons can be displayed under the view. You can use the following buttons to page through the rows in the view:
•First 25 Rows — Displays the first 25 rows of data for the view. The number that is used for the First, Previous, and Next buttons is specified by the Rows per Page field in the "Table Properties dialog: Style tab".
•Previous 25 Rows — Displays the previous 25 rows of data for the view.
•Next 25 Rows — Displays the next 25 rows of data for the view.
•Display maximum (500) rows per page — Allows you to display as many as the maximum number of rows per page at one time temporarily. The default is 500. The administrator can specify a different maximum value that is displayed on the tooltip for the button using the MaxVisibleRows element in the configuration file.
For more Refer my blog post
http://obieeelegant.blogspot.sg/2011/09/unable-to-export-all-rows-from-request.html
Note: this same thing you can also configure your UAT/Prod Server. then its will automated so you no need to configure each report.its will affect all the pivot/table view
also its noted as a bug in obiee11g(11.1.1.3/5) and its fixed in obiee11.1.1.6.0 and above version
FYI:

How to Get My Dashboard as Default Page Instead of Home Page in OBIEE 11G?

Hello Gurus,
I have one requirement where i need to change default page to "My Dashboard" like what we had in OBIEE 10G ?
Rite-now in OBIEE 11G when any user logs in they are directed to "Home" Page, but i want to change the navigation to "My Dashboard" for all user..
I know the option to in My Account and Change the Default dashboard in Preferences , but it's manual way to do it for all end-users.
and the other is to create the PORTALPATH Variable and do it from RPD.
So I am looking to some other way there we can change the navigation path from system file itself...
Thanking You..

Hello David,
Thanks for reply.
Actually I am just concern abt the OBIEE Dashboard page, the link that u have mentioned is for Application Server, where we can manage the multiple Application Portals.
and it also doesn't come with Middleware that we are installing for OBIEE.
so i did get some useful information but not related to my question.
is there any place in EM(Enterprise Manager) or Console(Admin Console) from where we can manage the Default Portal for OBIEE Users?
Thanking You..

OBIEE 11g Analysis : Change Report edit link to go Criteria tab instead

How to change the setting to have the "Edit" to go to criteria tab instead of Results (Compond view)?
Many time we may need to change the filter from default setting and then run the report or if the filter is setup to be used from a dashboard (using "Prompted") option...then the report attmpts to run the report without values...
And I have not checked to see if the server cancels the query to the database when the user navigates to the Critetia Page as there is no cancel link...(as it displayed in 10g...)
FYI, We have just started using OBIEE 11g in a dev environment, we are in the process of configuring the new env to get ready for prod...
Thanks

Hi,
By default, the Action request is sent to results tab. You can modify it by editing the dashboardeditor.js file found in /app/res/b_mozilla/dashboards folder.
Steps:
1) Open dashboardeditor.js file.
2) Search for the function "DUIModifyReport".
3) Inside the function you will find that ***"&Action=results&Path="****
4) Change results to criteria. In other words, the changed code will look like
****"&Action=criteria&Path="*****
5) Re-deploy the code and bounce the services.
-- Remember, this will affect for entire dashboard, and for all users. ---
If you want to avoid step (5), then manually copy the changed dashboardeditor.js to /user_projects/domains/BIfoundation/servers/bi_server1/tmp/_WL_user/analytics_11.1.1/$RANDOMFOLDERNAME$/war/res/b_mozilla/dashboards and bounce the services.
Voila - now when you edit the analysis through dashboard, it will take you to the criteria tab, instead of results tab.
Please award points, if it helps.

Bharath

OBIEE 11g agents are failed to connect to Essbase

OBIEE 11g - How to create clean looking pivot tables

Hi, does anyone have a good way to clean up the appearance of pivot tables in OBIEE 11g? I'm a big fan of Stephen Few and firmly believe in the "minimize non-data ink" theory. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lot of stuff on OBIEE pivots that I can't easily clean up. Does anyone have ideas for:
1. How to remove the "gray" / "beige" coloring from column and row dimension? I opened a ticket with Oracle 6 months ago, and basically they've just responded that it is a "enhancement request" for a future version (aka not going to see it for a LONG time)
2. For my "across" dimension, I don't seem to have a good way to show the dimension name. There is an option under "column properties" to "display heading" - but when this is turned on it scrunches the heading up directly over the column that has the down dimension members. I really want this to go across the pivot.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

OBIEE 11g Prompt's default value doesn't work with a presentation variable

Hi, I'm using OBIEE 11g and I have two dashboard prompts (Product Name and Product Number). Theses prompts are hierarquical, so the values that are displayed in the Product Number prompt have dependency with the values chosen on the Product Name prompt. This I was able to do, but now I want to put a default value on the Product Number prompt. The steps are:
1 - The user chooses the value for the Product Name Prompt and by doing that the Product Number prompt is automatically filled with the correspondent value.
But unfortunatelly this is not working, after choosing the value for the Product Name the default value for Product Number is not displayed (when you open the prompt the values displayed are correct and already filtered considering the Product Name but the prompt is not automatically filled with the default value).
What I did is:
On the Product Name Prompt I've created a Presentation Variable called PROD.
On the Product Number Prompt I've selected:
1 - For the "Choice List Values" field I've checked the option "Limit Values by All Prompts"
2 - For the "Default Selection" field I've chosen the SQL Results option and enter the following SQL:
SELECT "Products"."Product Number" FROM "Sample Sales Lite"."Products" WHERE "Products"."Product"='@{variables.PROD}
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you,
Carla

Sorry I was wrong in my previous thread.
Actually your approach is not correct, Product Number choose constraint that will show as per the selection of Product Name.
Coming to default value for Product Number you are going for sql override that is okay but not work with variable, instead of setting default values for product number set that to product name.
if not you need to go for 2 different prompts
Prompt 1 Product Name hit GO
Prompt 2 will work based on as you defined earlier with variables
Hope this helps

Is there a way to deny access to BI Publisher -Report job in OBIEE 11g?

Thank you all for the helpful information in the posts. I am trying to disable or not to display Report job under published reporting in OBIEE 11g. Could any one of you you please help me with the steps?
My issue:
I am pretty new to OBIEE and we are using OBIEE 11g when the user clicks on the new drop down, i am trying to disable or turnoff Report job under published reporting for a user group. I tried to find the relevant components for published reporting to deny access to report job under manage privileges but no luck i couldn't find any and i realized that i should be looking into Manage Bi publisher roles and responsibilities but i cannot remove the roles. Please help me with the steps and the options where i need to go and what i should do to not to display the report job. Your help is greatly appreciated, if i am not clear please let me know i will try to rephrase or explain it better
FYI
We are using LDAP for user creation and we have created a new group and created a test user belongs to that group and that user should not see the Report job. When i am seeing the users roles and responsibilities it is also showing me other two roles authenticated user role and BI consumer role for the test user, when i asked the admin guy dealing with LDAP he said he only associated the user with that only new group. Please advice
Thanks,
Ravi

In EM, go to Weblogic Domain, right click on bifoundation_domain and on the Security menu choose Application Policies.
Set Application Stripe to obi and click the blue arrow search button.
Highlight BIConsumer and click Edit.
Under Permissions locate Resource Name oracle.bi.publisher.scheduleReport. Highlight this and click Delete...
Click OK (top right corner).
Now log your user out of OBIEE and back in again, and the option should have disappeared from their New menu.

Links to document in OBIEE 11G

Hi,
I would like to know, how certain links to stored document can be configured in OBIEE 11G
eg: We have 'Help' icon, on click it opens up the 'Help Doc' which is stored in default (../analytics/olh/l_en) location.
I want to know where are the settings (in which files) to edit the link and point to someother location
Regards,
Jitendra

Ok,
We wanted to show an Icon or Link which will navigate user (once clicked) to a pre-defined location where 'Help Content Files' will be located.
Now, I was able to achieve this with the use of "Link or Image" object from 'Dashboard Objects' (once you edit Dashboard check the options at LHS); and configuring 'Link or Image Object' with path to files as well as image.

Jitendra

MINUS Operator in OBIEE 11g

Hi all ,
I have a requirement to use MINUS operator in a column of a report . Since it is available for two separate criteria , Could someone suggest how to perform the same in OBIEE 11g for a column.
the conditions to be implemented in a column are
select count(*) from (
select distinct trx.shipment_header_id
from
F_ERP_PO_RECEIPTS_TRX trx
where   trx.transaction_type = 'RECEIVE'
MINUS
select distinct rec.shipment_header_id
from
where   trx.transaction_type = 'DELIVER').
How can i perform these conditions for a column of a report .
Reg,
Niv D

Hi Niv D,
I guess this can be done as we have union, union all and minus available.
once you select the required subject area say SA for the below query,
select distinct trx.shipment_header_id
from
F_ERP_PO_RECEIPTS_TRX trx
where   trx.transaction_type = 'RECEIVE'
on the right side of the criteria you can see a + symbol with venn diagram. once you click on it, it gives you an option to select the next SA for
select distinct rec.shipment_header_id
from
where   trx.transaction_type = 'DELIVER').
once you selected that, you can see the criteria changes accordingly.
there you change to union or minus.
once you have the conditions for both, make the layout as pivot and apply count on the column. you are there with the result,
I tried earlier with union but not with minus. but this should work.

KN
