  • 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

    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" \">#

  • How to move all the standard and adhoc reports from cube to multi provider

    How to move all the standard and adhoc reports from the basic cube to multi provider?
    i created this multiprovider to do the maintenence on the basic cube. for example the infocube physical partition, line item dimension and compression.
    what we decided to do is move all the Standard and ad-hoc reports from the basic cube to the multiprovider. How to do it? and make a copy of the basic cube and do the maintenence on the cube. please help.
    Thanks in advance sdn experts!

    Hi Les,
    This sounds good and one thing we try to always keep in mind when undertaking such activities is to always minimise the impact to the user and make the process as transparent to them as possible. So lets say you have your multiprovider and copied queries up in Prod, these queries will still pick up the data from the base cube.
    Now you need to make a copy of the base cube for some changes to the cube model, I would suggest that you copy the cube and make your changes on the copied cube itself. Then 9depending on the changes done) you can load data from Original Cube to New Cube. When this is being done, make sure that you change your queries to add a restriction on 0INFORPOV by Original Cube.
    After the load to the new cube is complete you can run reports restricted to each cube to verify the numbers. Then change the 0INFOPROV restriction in the queries to point to the New Cube and disengage the old cube from the multiprovider.
    Hope this helps...

  • Adhoc Reporting: Webanalysis vs Financial Reporting Studio

    Hi,
    Our client is using Hyperion Planning 9.3.0.1 and currently the business users use Financial Reporting Studio for adhoc reporting. I am wondering if they can use Web Analysis to do this? Are there any performance issues if many users are using Webanalysis at the same time? Is there anything else that I need to keep in mind before advising the client?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Amol
    Edited by: user638718 on Apr 7, 2009 5:28 PM

    Hi,
    Web Analysis is definitely aimed more towards adhoc reporting, it is just general adhoc reporting you can also use the excel addin and smartview.
    I take it you are already licensed to use web analysis ?
    Performance well that all depends on the load that is going to be put on the server, specs of machines, amount of concurrent users etc

  • MDX Generation Issues (using Evaluate) in OBIEE Analysis Report

    Hello Everyone,
    I am trying to use Evaluate function in MDX (on a OBIEE 11g Analysis report) to restrict the number of values that i am pulling from the Essbase cube. The MDX Evaluate syntax looks something like this
    EVALUATE('TOPCOUNT(%1.members,100,([Dimension1],[Dimension2],[Dimension3],[Dimension4]))',"Accounts"."Gen10,Accounts")
    EVALUATE('TOPCOUNT(%1.members,100,([Dimension1],[Dimension2],[Dimension3],[Dimension4]))',"Products"."Gen10,Products")
    I am putting the above evaluate formula in the "selected columns" on the OBIEE Analysis report. So i am pulling accounts, products and the measure from the essbase cube.
    However I am getting the following error when the analysis report is run
    Query Status: Aggr Essbase Error: *Repeated dimension [Accounts] in MDX query*
    Do we need any configuration changes/ settings on the RPD model to ensure we dont get this error?
    Regards
    Aby

    Hi veeravalli,
    Thank you for you reply. I got it.
    However, any idea to solve the issue?
    I tried to do it in RPD by case when,
    e.g. Acutal Sales: case when scenario='Actual' then salesamount end
    Budget Sales: case when scenario='Budget' then salesamount end
    Actual/Budget%: (Actual Sales/Budget Sales) *100
    So there is no error, Actual Sales and Budget Sales are correct, but Actual/Budget % shows nothing in report
    Thanks.

  • 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

  • How to create  Adhoc Reports

    Hi
               I am new to BW Reporting. For my current project I need to develop both Adhoc Reports and standard Reports. I am familiar with creating a standard report in BEx query designer. However, I  did not create Adhoc report before. Can anyone let me know the difference between a Adhoc Report and Standard Report and also procedure to create a Adhoc Report.
    Thanks,
    Padma

    Query Views can be considered as Adhoc reporting .The one we create on the Query Designer is Standard Report.

  • Strange results in adhoc report??

    Hi Experts,
    I have made changes to adhoc report in development and assigned transaction code ex: zreport to adhoc query.I executed the report by transaction code and through sq01 i am getting same results still here it is fine.
         In quality when i moved changes and executed report through sq01 it is showing changes what i made but when i execute the report through transaction code zreport i am not finding any changes.moreover  title of report in output list(statistics) is also differnt when compared to tile of report in output list executed through sq01(deployment).
    Again i compared the title of report in output list(statistics) executed through tcode zreport in qualityand  title of report in output list executed throug tcode zreport in development(deployment).here also different
    i felt that whatever changes i made to query report was different one when compared to report which i executed by transaction but when i checked queryreport name by going to sq01 -> menu option "query"->more functions->report name.but the report name which i found and tcode report name are both are same.
    Please let me know where exactly mistake was happenedand tell me how to solve this issue.
    Please correct me if i am going wrong.I am waiting for your precious reply.

  • Adhoc Reporting using Data Sources instead of Report Model

    Hi Gurus,
    I'm working on SSRS 2008. I'm trying to create Adhoc Report using Report Builder 3.0. To select Data Source, both *.rsds and *.smdl are listed. I selected a Data Source which points to a SQL database. When I add New datasets, I'm able to add the fields and
    it automatically detect relationships (Joins) using Primary Key and Foreign Key defined in the tables. I'm also able to edit the query. I ran the report and it ran successfully.
    My question is I couldn't find any documentation regarding using Data Source for Adhoc Reporting. MS SQL documentation and forums insists that Report Model is required for Adhoc Reporting.
    Please let me know if someone tried to create Adhoc Report using Data Source instead of Report Model. While I understand there are more benefits using Report Model (define entities/attributes, show/hide entity/attributes, organize entities/attributes etc.),
    I just want to know if this is possible.
    Are there any known limitation using this method?
    Thanks In Advance!

    Hi Ereswaran,
    Yes, we can create ad hoc report using report using data source instead of Report Model. Ad hoc reports typically are used to answer a specific question at appoint in time, so consequently people don’t spend a lot of time arranging and formatting the data
    in a precise way. Other report development tools are available in Reporting Services to support more sophisticated reporting requirements.
    Using Report Builder, we can build a simple report that display data form a single data source as defined by a report model. This tool is most useful for business users who need access to information but lack the skills to write a SQL query. If we have full
    experience of SQL query, of course we can use data source instead of Report Model.
    If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
