OBIEE Data Lineage

Hi all,
I have implemented data lineage.
Now I am looking to add the data lineage link to my dashboards using the following HTML.

My question is:
Say for instance I need to click through and prompt my lineage report by more than 1 PROMPTED VALUE I.e. I have 3 separate elements in one report that I want to show lineage for e.g. 3 different KPIs on one report and I want to see lineage for all of them. How would I manipulate the code to ensure that it passes more than one value through to the report?
If this is not possible would I be able to add the lineage link to the end of the table and have a new column with a lineage link in it for EACH kpi?
Thanks.

If my understaing is correct, you need to pass mulutiple values to a report

Data Federator data lineage and impact analysis

Hi,
I am looking for the use of data lineage and impact analysis feature in data federator at Universe level.
Can I know which objects are using which fields by uisng impact feature in the data federator.
Thanks in Advance.

I realize this answer is a cop out but I'll suggest it anyway. Upgrade.
I struggled with getting the lineage and impact analysis working in 10.1 and had to do quite a bit of trial and error in the Apache configuration files, DAD's ,etc. because the lineage reports were web based. I never got them working in Production due to other much more pressing implementation issues at the time and never went back to fix them.
In 10.2 and above the reports are much easier to get with no real configuration needed.
Anyway, back to your question, I would suggest going back through the 10.1 documentation on getting those to work and have someone a bit familiar with setting up Apache help you. I did get them working in our Test environment but its been so long I can't recall all the steps and tricks, sorry.

Data Lineage in Data Modeler?

I wish to create a model for a data warehouse and show the data lineage from the source system model to the data warehouse model. Is this possible in Data Modeler?

Hi,

there is no lineage diagram in Data Modeler. Otherwise thee is an "Impact Analysis" page in dialogs for objects in relational an logical model. So for column you can track usage in relational model and through mapping to attribute in logical model can track usage in dimensional models and data flow diagrams.

Oracle OLAP as OBIEE Data Source

I've got a couple of questions regarding the use of Oracle OLAP (Analytic Workspace/Cube) as an OBIEE data source.
First: As a general rule when creating a dimension, we create a total roll-up for the dimension i.e. "Total Product", "Total Geog", "Total Customer" etc... Generally, I don't create a total roll-up for time dimensions. When importing metadata from OLAP to OBIEE, OBIEE creates a "Total" level for all dimensions. Now, I understand why OBIEE does that; to support queries that might exclude one or more dimensions. My question is: what is the best method/procedure to deal with the extra "Total" level?
Second: I would appreciate it if someone could explain this error for me: [nQSError: 59137] Filter level YEAR is below the projected level Total on dimension CMP_TIME while an externally aggregated measure is present. (HY000). I understand the words, but have no clue what OBIEE is trying to tell me. This error pops up constantly and I see no rhyme or reason that would cause it. the specific case above occurred when I clicked on the sort icon for a measure included in a report.
Thanks,

Mark,
Thanks for the reply. However, I'm not sure I made myself clear. I have created a "Product" dimension in AWM (Analytic Workspace Manager) in the following structure: Product -> Product Line -> Total Product. Withing the context this hierarchy, "Total Product" is the "Grand Total" Level. When this data is imported into OBIEE using "Oracle OLAP" as a data source, the Product hierarchy is created in the Physical Layer as an "Oracle OLAP Dimension". In the BMM Layer, the hierarchy is structured as: Product -> Product Line -> Total Product -> Total. There are now two "Total" Levels. Naturally only one, the OBIEE generated Total, is defined as "Grand Total". The only child of the Total level is Total Product. I have two hierarchy levels that are the same. So, do we need both? should we keep both? Should a dimension defined within AWM for use in OBIEE NOT include a total level? It's not really a problem, it just doesn't seem to make any sense to have TWO total levels within a hierarchy.
On the second issue, I wish I could provide some detail, but I'm really not sure how I'd do that. That's why I asked for the meaning of the error. What is OBIEE telling me that I'm doing wrong. All I really did was import the metadata, drag it to the BMM Layer, deleted some of the hierarchy level keys, renamed some columns and dragged the stuff over to the Presentation Layer. So, it's pretty much drag-and-drop.
Another example of the error: We have a Category Dimension (Sub Category -> Category -> Category Group -> Model -> All Categories -> Total) and I want to see the top 10 values of a measure by Category by Model. In an Analysis, adding the Model column works fine, just not the best visualization. Move the Model column to "Sections" and all works; move the Model column to Pivot Table Prompts and it errors. Obviously, I'm asking OBIEE to do something it doesn't want to do, so I'm looking for the root cause of the error.
Thanks,

Data Lineage - DAC Subject Area

Hi All,
In the DAC OOTB repository, there is a Data Lineage Subject Area. By default it is inactive.
Its task names look very promising (indicating connections to OBI webcat, rpd, etc.), but I could not find any INFA workflows behind them.
Has anybody has an idea if there is any way of using it?
Any experience here?
Thanks!
Michal

I know about the data lineage documents on metalink3 and yes, they are useful.
The missing part however is the rpd/webcat metadata. Also some connections inside of DAC are not covered.
This subject area looks very promising, but does not have any Infa mappings behind.
Any other guesses? What is a purpose of it?
Michal

Essbase Data Lineage

Hi,
Is it possible to extract data lineage information using the Essbase Java API ? I would like to find out where the data comes from, text file, SQL database etc ...
Thanks

In short, No.
In a very long explanation - It's possible (through a series of non-API related activities) you definitely do not want to do it... I speak from experience.
In my spare time, I built a very complex series of VBA functions using various API calls to extract certain portions of an outline (based on a given retrieve), then populate a new sheet with other members to help trace the data. I then inserted each data set into its own array and generated a report out of this.
Was it slick, feasible, and time-effective? Not at all.
Was it an interesting exercise? Absolutely

OBIEE-ODI Lineage:Hiding or disabling lineage column

Hi,
I am working on OBIEE-ODI lineage implementation. When I click on the lineage icon its going to next level. For eg when I click on lineage icon the report is showing OBIEE logical table and logical column details ....In turn when I click on lineage icon in this report its showing the OBIEE physical table and column details...in turn when I click on lineage icon in this report its displaying the ODI target details and on next click the underlying ODI source details....once we reached the ultimate ODI source I want the lineage icon to be disabled or the column showing the lineage icon to be hidden. Any pointers on this would be of great help.
Regards,
Rajesh

Hi,
If you are on ODI 11g remove the odiRef.getObjectName("BI_OBJ_ID.NEXTVAL") function call and just give the sequence BI_OBJ_ID.NEXTVAL where ever its being used.

Rajesh

OBIEE Date Comparison report with multiple measures

Hello everyone...
I have a requirement where I need to create a date comparison report (Current Month vs. Prior Month vs Prior Month Year Ago vs YTD vs Prior YTD vs Rolling 3 months, etc) with multiple Measures (Quote count, Quote offered count, New Business count, etc). I am to generate this report in this fashion:
Quotes Current Month vs PM vs YoY Prior
Month Current Month Prior Year Current
YTD vs PM Prior
YTD Rolling 3 Months vs PM Prior Rolling 3 Months
Issued 120 120 123 1400 1020 1700 1580

Avg Offered Premium
New Business
Count
Avg Full Term Premium
I understand that time series is an option, and have created the time series (which show up as measures).
My problem is:
when creating the report (even as a pivot table) , OBIEE is not allowing me to drag the measure to rows, nor is it allowing me to drag the time series to columns. Also, I need to do conditional formating on some of the columns showing an up arrow for increased vs. prior month and down arrow for decreased vs. prior month.
Does anyone have a solution for this issue? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...
Please advise and thanks!!!

Jason,
You've been very helpful, but I guess I'm just not explaining myself that well. The Credit Memo's throw things off because they do not contain a "Paid Date" value. That field in the record is blank. Since it is blank the report query ignores them. Therefore when the report query returns all records that have a "Paid date" range of "x to y" they are never returned. This is a problem whenever a credit memo exists for an invoice because the "invoice total" never changes. So when a customer pays on their account for a particular invoice, they only pay what is due which is the "invoice total" minus any "credit" from the "Credit Memo". So when my A/R person receives payment they are showing the invoice paid in full because MAS automatically includes all invoices and credit memo's. My report does not because there is no data in the "Paid Date" field of the record for Credit Memos.
I've been doing alot research in trying to resolve this "exception" to my report. I think I may be on to something, but my knowledge of arrays is extremely limited. My resolution involves populating an array with the "invoice numbers" that are returned from the initial query from the supplied date range. Then using the "invoice numbers" from the array have it then populate my details section of the report with all of "invoice records" both the actual invoice record and any "credit memo" records. I can then group the records returned based upon the "invoice number". then within that grouping I can performing my calculations to show whether or not the invoice has been paid in full. What do you think? I've been able to populate an array with the invoice numbers based upon my date search range, but I have yet to figure out how to take that information and perform another lookup to pull in the rest of the data I need. Do you have any ideas?
Thanks. Bill

Create new column in BI Admin Tool being HFM the OBIEE data source.

Hi all,
I am developing a BI project using OBIEE 11g 11.1.6.4 and HFM 11.1.2.1. HFM is the data source for OBIEE.
Having the metadata imported in the physical and in the BMM layers, what I want to do is create a new column that will contain a float value. This float value depends on Account dimension, that is, if account name is 'XYZ', in a join of all dimensions, this new column´s value should be the same for all the other accounts in the same join.
I have reached a point that the new column created shows the same number (value) as the logical column 'value' of the fact table, but I don´t know how or where specify which value (the one of the account name 'XYZ') should be for the rest of the new column (where account name is not equal to 'XYZ').
I hope it is understandable, if something is not clear, please ask me.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Borja

Unable to join 3 fact tables in obiee data model.

Hi,
I am unable to join the 3 fact tables in obiee rpd. If I join with 2 fact tables I got the data in repors, Once I add the one more fact table and join with related dimensions, I am getting nodata error. I am following all joins keys as per datamodel, I am able to see the data in database. anyone pls give me the solution. Thanks in advance.
Edited by: 1007582 on May 23, 2013 2:17 AM

Can you please give some more detail as in what you have model in RPD;
For example, if There are 3 Fact table F1, F2, F3 and two Dimesion Confirmed_D1, Non_Conf_D2. Confirmed_D1 is joined to all three fact tables and Non_Conf_D2 is joined to F2.
Now to implement this model we have to set the logical content level in BMM layer for Non_Conf_D2 in F1 & F2 to Total*. After this only we can report on Confirmed_D1, Non_Conf_D2, F1, F2, F3 whithout any error.
Sometime join with multiple table can also result in No Data, since the join conditions filters out the result data.
Please mark helpful or correct.
