OBIEE Fragmentation using Essbase as data sources

Hi-
How can we create a fragmentation on OBIEE taking data sources from 2 cubes? For example:
I have 3 dimensions (same outline on both cubes):
Account:
- Account 1
- Account 2
Product:
- Product 1
- Product 2
Year:
- Y2008
- Y2009
And how can we set the fragmentation, if we want to take Y2008 data from cube 1, and Y2009 data from cube 2?
I've tried to set:
on BMM:
Account:
-source:
--cube1
aggregation content, group by: Logical level
fragmentation content: cube1."year"."Gen2,year" = 'Y2008'
--cube2
aggregation content, group by: Logical level
fragmentation content: cube1."year"."Gen2,year" = 'Y2009'
Year:
-source:
--cube1
aggregation content, group by: Logical level
Mapped Year to Gen2,year
fragmentation content: cube1."year"."Gen2,year" = 'Y2008'
--cube2
aggregation content, group by: Logical level
Mapped Year to Gen2,year
fragmentation content: cube1."year"."Gen2,year" = 'Y2009'
It still only taking the data from cube 1.
And when I tried to check the: "This source should be combined with other sources at this level" it returned error:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 42043] An external aggregate is found in an outer query block. (HY000)
Please advise,
Kind regards

Using Essbase as a source

Have anyone of you used Essbase as a source for OBISE1? Do you find any restrictions on it?

The search button on the right works pretty well.

Using a SQL data source and XML data source in the same template

I am trying to develop a template for the Request for Quote report generated in Apps 11.5.10. I have loaded the data from the XML output into the template, but I am missing one field - I need the org_id from the po_headers table. Is it possible to use a sql data source (i.e., "select org_id from po_headers_all where po_header_id = [insert header_id from xml data]...") in addition to the xml data source to populate the template at runtime? When you use the Insert > SQL functionality is it static at the time the template is created, or does it call to the database at runtime? I've looked through all the docs I could find, but this isn't clear.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have.

Hi Pablo
Thats a tough one ... if you go custom with a data template you will at least get support on the data template functionality ie you have a problem when you try and build one. You will not get support on the query inside the data template as you might have gotten with the Oracle Report, well you could at least log a bug against development for a bad query.
Eventually that Oracle Report will be converted by development anyway, theres an R12 project going on right now to switch the shipped OReports to data templates. AT this point you'll be fully supported again but:
1. You have to have R12 and
2. You'll need to wait for the patch
On reflection, if you are confident enough in the query then Oracle will support you on its implementation within a data template. Going forward you may be able to swap out your DT and out in the Oracle one without too much effort.

Bursting using a Concatenated Data Source

Greetings,
I am trying to burst a report using a concatenated data source. I have a bursting SQL query set up that works fine, but I am unsure how to handle the "Split By" option. I have a data model that pulls data from multiple queries, like this:
DETAILS_A
select * from table_a
where payee_id in (:p_payee_id)
DETAILS_B
select * from table_b
where payee_id in (:p_payee_id)
So, if I choose to "Split By" Details_A_Row/Payee_ID, then the data from Details_A is split appropriately, but the reports I generate don't split the information from Details_B properly. I end up with reports where one payee has information for another payee from the Details_B data source. How can I specify that the report should also split/filter the info from Details_B?
To put it another way, what I'd really like to do is go through a list of parameters (payee IDs in this example) and generate a report for each parameter. Is Bursting the most effective way to do this?
From searching the forums, it seems like I might be able to accomplish this using Data Templates as my Data Model instead of SQL Queries. Am I on the right track with that? If so, you guys have any helpful links on how to create Data Templates?
I am using BI Publisher version 10.1.3.4
Any help is appreciated!

Which user id is used in each data source?

Pls. identify some seeded views used as Existing Data Source in DBI Reports

Hi!
Can someone please identify some seeded views used as Existing Data Source in DBI Reports. I only need some idea how they are defined.
Thanks.

You can find the list of seeded views in eTRM website -- http://etrm.oracle.com/pls/etrm
Are there seeded tables/views of DBI dimension objects in Oracle EBS?

Using Excel as data source

Hi,
i have created a crystal report that uses Excel as data source. Reason i used excel is for easy updating of data by non IT users. The report runs perfectly on my computer, but when i upload it to Infoview, there is error when i run the report from Infoview:
"The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect."
"Unable to retrieve Object.
The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect."
May i know what causes the error? There is no user id/password to access the excel file.
I have also tried saving the excel in the same server as the crystal report server, but i still face the same error.
Pls help!
Thanks

You would have created a connection in your local system to access the XLS data
You should be creating a similar connection in the server as well and then update the rpt file with the connection details in CMS

Throws severe error in OBIEE SA with Essbase Cube as Source

Hi All,
Currently we built the SA using Essbase ASO cube as source.Wehen we are trying to drag more then 4-5 dimension hierarchies it throws an severe error
Essbase Error: Query is allocating too large memory(>4GB) and cannot be executed.Query allocation exceeds allocation limits(HY000)
I am not able to identify the same in Essbase Excel addin.All are single-level based hierarchies and the count of dimensions is not more than 1000.
Can someone help me out to find out a way to resolve this issue or any work around.
Thanks,
SatyaB

What is the version that you using for OBIEE and Essbase ?? This is a know bug when Essbase as a source is used for OBIEE reporting. Try to get in touch with Oracle Support by raising an SR and getting correct patch (set of library files) for your system.
This shud solve your problem.

Essbase Studio Data Sources

Hello,
we are familiar with Essbase Integration Services (EIS) which we use to build our essbase outline with the memberload-option.
EIS itself uses configured ODBC-DSN to read data from relational databases. Because EIS uses the ODBC DSN of the system where EIS Server is running it is possible to use other ODBC-DSN/Drivers than the from DataDirect supported ones.
Because we have a big EDW which is not supported officially in the Essbase Support Stack we still have the requirement to use our EDW as Data Source to Build the Outline (The Essbase Data Load also uses a EDW ODBC-DSN to load Data).
In fact the Essbase Data Load via a free configurable ODBC will still work.
But if we look for a Step from EIS to Essbase Studio we recognize that Essbase Studio will only Support some few Databases (in 11.1.2.3 it is Oracle (+RAC), MS SQL, MySQL, DB2, Netezza, Teradata)
Does anybody knows other RDBMS / ODBC-Drivers that already have successfully configured/tested with Essbase Studio.
The Documentation still say that Essbase Studio will Support relational databases but i think they mean the ones which are hard-coded in the essbase studio console gui.
Best Regards,
Kai

It doesn't have to but it makes life much easier.

Any suggestions on this issue.Check the sawserver.out log file to see if you can find more details on the server. This could more likely be because of the incorrect configuration in OBIEE. Refer to the Doc ID on MOS: 1104749.1 for further details and what configuration changes needs to be made.

Essbase as data source 10.1.3.4

Hi,
I am trying to use Essbase as a datasource in OBIEE 10.1.3.4 - but when the source is imported I do not see any ALIAS values.
Is it possible to use the EVALUATE syntax to effect a function call on Essbase - by creating a calculated column to get around this problem - if so can anyone kindly assist on the syntax??
thanks,
Robert.

Does OBIEE supports TimesTen as the data source

We use TimesTen for our in-memory db requirements, and our tables are cached i TimesTen. We are looking to see for OBIEE dashboards, can we use TimesTen as the datasource and is it supported and certified. If yes, could you please provide us the details.
Thanks.

Hi,
Is it possible to have TimesTen as well as other databases as data source, and then combine them? For example, dimension tables reside on Oracle database, and the fact table resides on TimesTen?
If possible then, could you please show how to do it?
Thanks.

How do I use a shared data source in my dataset in this new UI?

I'm new to SSRS 2012 and am having trouble with the UI. All of my experience is with SSRS 2005, and this is quite different.
So I created a shared data source in my new project. Next I added a report (non-wizard, I'm going for hand-crafted). Looking at the UI I have a report data window on the left side of VS 2010, and in it are a couple of menus and a tree navigation pane. If I
select the new menu, and then dataset (since I want to add the data to my report first) I get the Dataset property window. After selecting 'Use a dataset embedded in my report' a new panel is displayed where I can set up a new dataset. But from what I see
here all I can do is create a new data source, but I want to use my shared datasource. I would think it would just be in the data source drop down presented, but that is empty (I had an image that illustrated all this but I keep being told I need to 'verify
my account', and after doing so I'm still getting that error... oh well, I don't have enough time to keep verifying my account here).
In 2005 I could choose a shared datasource, and it doesn't seem logical that this functionality would be removed. What am I missing here?
Any help would be much appreciated.

First right-click on your reports' Data Sources and add a reference to the Shared Data Source, by selecting "Use Shared Data Source Reference" in the "Add Data Source" dialog.

Report using two different data sources won't work.

I'm trying to build a report that shows information from a production table and an archive table.
Tables are in different databases, which are defined as their own Data Sources in Publisher.
Two data sets containing the same query but using different Data Sources are defined in the Data Model.
When selecting option 'Concatenated SQL Data Source' the report never completes.
If any of the two Data Sets is selected as the Main Data Set, the report shows information related to that source only.
Any hints on how to make this work would be appreciated.
Thanks.
ccastillo

More details on this issue:
The production database has a synonym pointing to the archive database. I build a query using a UNION ALL statement linking both tables.
For the same set of parameters, this query completes in a couple of minutes outside BI Publisher, but never ends (I cancel after an hour) inside Publisher.
Is there any special considerations for the use of synonyms inside Publisher?
