OBIEE Metadata utility export not showing view SQL

Kind of a random question, but want to make sure I am not missing something.
Using OBIEE 10.1.3.4, I run the Generate Metadata Dictionary utility. It gives me everything EXCEPT the SQL for views that we defined within the OBIEE admin tool. Instead it just calls them physical tables. Is there a way to see the SQL in the dictionary? I've combed through every file it generates, but it isn't there.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
We used to view the log details (physical SQL) using Manage Marketing Jobs in OBIEE10g.
In OBIEE11g we can see the job details and when selecting a job (under Action column Details link) there is an option in left pane as 'View Log'. If I click on 'View Log' it is showing as 'No Logs Found'.
Just wanted to confirm if this is an issue in OBIEE11g.
Also, I believe there is a limitation in 'Manage Session' to view the number of job details whereas in 'Manage Marketing Jobs' section we can increase the number of jobs to be displayed.
Thanks,
Prasanta

  • View log not showing physical SQL generated in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7

    Hi,
    I am currently using OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7 version. In this version I am unable to view the physical SQL generated by OBIEE under Administration --> Manage Marketing Jobs --> Select a Job --> Click on View SQL OR Administration --> Manage Sessions--> Select a Job --> Click on View SQL. It is not showing the physical SQL generated by OBIEE for a report or segment which I have executed.
    It was available in previous version i.e. OBIEE 10.1.3.4.2.
    I have searched in metalink and it has been suggested to use the following <Filters> section into instanceconfig.xml file. I have added the following details into existing instanceconfig.xml file and then restarted the BI services. Still the problem persist.

  • 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

    Hi Vanaja M/Gurus,
    Is that your problem resolved?
    I'm facing same issue here.
    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.

  • Disk Utility does not show my internal hard drive.

    Recently, my Macbook Pro crashed.
    THE PROBLEM
    1. I turn it on, it starts normally at first, the Apple Logo Shows for several seconds
    2. It changes to a no-smoking sign without the cigarette
    3. If I try to boot safe mode, a folder appears with a question mark
    4. If I try the internet recovery, I get to the part where I can restore OSX, use disk utility, etc.
    5. When I try to restore OSX, it doesn't show my hard drive as avilable to install upon - no drives are shown
    6. When I try to use disk utility, it only shows my Mac Base System, totaling 2GB, I cannot do anything.
    THE QUESTIONS
    1. What do I do? Thoughts? How do I recover my hard drive data before sending this computer to Apple to fix?
    2. How can I use an external enclosure to recover my data using my desktop? What cords do I need? What is a good drive? Is it hard?
    3. My SD card slot shows, could I install OSX on that and try to load my OSX to gain access to my harddrive that's missing?
    4. Why would my main hard drive not show? I'm supposed to have a 250GB hard drive.
    5. Is there anything I can do on Terminal to try to make my full hard drive appear? Or gain access?
    6. What will Apple do with my RAM that I installed? I upgraded to 8GB? Will they just return as is?
    Thank you.
    Model: MBP from Mid-2010 13" running OSX Mountain Lion 250GB HD

    Youre working the wrong end trying to revive a dying drive, a replacement is only $65
    Did you have a backup of your vital data?
    Terminal isnt going to do anything to help your HD.
    questions:
    1.  get a new HD, install OS........recovery internal HD data using another computer and throwing the internal HD into a USB enclosure to extract data......however depending on the HD, data extraction may prove futile.
    2. external USB enclosure, comes with USB cable....takes 3 mins to put internal HD into enclosure.
    3. no,...... installing OS on a dying drive is beating a dead horse,...
    4. because its dead/ dying.
    5. no
    6. Yes, they wont mess with your RAM.
    Contact Apple for fix, of if you have the skills you can install a new HD yourself

  • Video export not showing up

    i'm a novice at editing software and after creating some title slides and to go along with .wav file sound effects i started importing mpg movie files and jpeg pictures from my hard drive that went along with an mp3 song.  when i went to export the video to check my progress only the title files and wav sound effects exported and none of the video or pictures or mp3 exported.  i exported it as a windows media file to play in WMP.   Would this have anything to do with the type of video i said i'd be using when setting up my project?  Because none of that made any sense to me and i just picked the dv ntsc standard 48hz aspect.  I have a cannon FS100 that records in MOD files (mpeg2).  I downloaded them through the program that was provided with my camera to the hard drive and then into adobe.  Would this cause my video to not show up in exported projects if i chose the incorrect presets?  I don't want to keep editing this video if at the end i'll have to redo the entire thing due to incorrect presets so i thought i'd try the forums.  Thanks for any help you can give.

    hadn't found anything to explain my problem.
    That's not quite the best approach.  Don't look to finding this one answer, look to becoming a well educated professional in all aspects of video production before using this software.  This is not a quick fix, it is a proper months or even years long method (depending on the degree you wish to attain).
    As I said, for those without such dedication, there are consumer programs out there.
    And of course, there is always the option of hiring a professional to do the job.  We depend on folks like yourself to earn a living.  Nothing wrong with supporting us.

  • AE shows WD External disk in Utility, does not show in Finder

    Hi,
    I just bought an AE (802.11n). The setup was relatively easy. I updated both the software Airport Utility (5.3.2) and Firmware (7.3.2).
    When I connect my freshly formatted (HFS+ Case-Sensitive + Journaled) external WD 120Gb HD (which has an external powersupply) to the USB port, it DOES show in the Airport Utility (though without the name), but I cannot connect to it, neither does it show in Finder, etc.
    When I take a freshly formatted (HFS+ Case-S, Jour.) Memorystick of 4Gb, and I plug it in it both shows in the Airport Utility and I find it in the shared section of Finder.
    I can attach the WD Harddrive to my local MBPro and it works fine (either through USB & Firewire)
    What is going on? Has anyone else experienced this (the topics I found dealt with Windows, or wrongly formatted, or Time Machine, etc.)?

    Thanx for your suggestion: this was however already checked. Just to make sure I unchecked and re-checked the option. No difference
    Except for the WD disk not showing (my intend is to get it working), an additional question would be: WHY is there no problem when using a memory stick?
    Apparently the memory stick has a 'quality/ability' which the external HD does not have causing it to function but which one?

  • Variable value not showing in sql developer  tool

    HI,
    I am using sql developer tool. when i take mouse in variable name at debugging its not showing variable value and instead showing variable name data type and owner. but in past i have used sql developer tool where when i take mouse on variable at debugging mode it shows the varable value.  please tell me is there any issue in sql develper tool currently i am using.
    sql developer version 2.1.0.63

    Sorry - but I doubt if you will get much help for that ANCIENT version of Sql Developer.
    My best suggestion is to download the current version and see if you still have the problem. There have been HUNDREDS of bug fixes since that version you are using.
    Oracle SQL Developer Downloads
    Take note that the current version REQUIRES a much higher JDK version than what you may be using. And do NOT try to install the new version on top of the old one.
    Install the new version into a totally new folder. You will be ask if you want to import your settings from your current version.

  • SQL Server Usage Summary page, the count of user/device: does not show for SQL Server 2008

    Does MAP tool capture User Summary  (count of users, their details) for SQL Server 2008? 
    At my end, its working for SQL Server 2012 but not showing User Summary for SQL Server 2008..

  • Disk Utility does not show any result....

    Dear Apple Community,
    on my mid 2012 Mac Book Air the disk utility test does not show any result. The test just stops at some point and can be restarted again, but does not show weather the SSD is damaged or not.
    Does anyone know what this means?
    Thanks a lot for your advice!

    I think this happens to everyone (who uses "Live Verification") in Mavericks.   Occasionally the output from the test shows correctly, but usually not.  I guess this will get fixed someday. 
    Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback
    For now, probably you will get best results from using command-r at startup to get into "recovery mode", then run disk utility from there.

  • Installed MySQL ODBC, system DSN configured and working, provider still not showing in SQL 2005 provider list

    As per the title, really.
    I need to fetch data periodically from a MySQL DB. Installed the 5.1 MySQL 32bit ODBC driver onto the SQL server, configured and tested the DSN, all fine.
    Provider still not showing in the list in Management Studio.
    Can anyone offer any advice? is it a simple case of restarting services? I haven't tried that due to the server being in production.

    Hello,
    Is this a 64 bit SQL Server? For a linked server you can only use OleDB data provider, have you also installed OleDB for MySQL? If not, then you have to use the ODBC OleDB provider together with a System DSN.

  • Preview window in premiere 10 will not show view video images

    My Premiere 10 preview window will not show video images. There has been some on-line discussion that nVidia GeForce video card automatic updates is the problem and it has been suggested that I roll back to a previous card however the rollback button does not light up and can not be activated. Also I'm not sure that I'm using the correct settings for the preview window, what are the default settings?

  • IMovie '11 is not showing Viewer. Plus Error -50 on export

    Hello all,
    I am having two annyoying issues with iMovie.
    Before the summer, so back in June time it was working fine. I havent had need to use it till now. When i open up an event, one i knew was working last time. I dont have anything showing in the viewer window. No black box, no anything. Just light grey as if nothing exists. Any ideas on how to get the viewer back? It is as iff it has disapeared.
    The second issue, is no matter what i do to try and share the projects, iDVD, iTunes, Export Movie or using Quicktime i always get the error.-
    Unable to prepare project for publishing - The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-50)
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ?
    Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.

    • from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?

    • Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
    from Luke Burns
    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

    You need more free space on your hard drive.
    from: jonorparkerjon
    After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
    Where do Your material come from
    • Camera
    • External hard disk
    • USB-memory
    And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?
    from Karsten S
    Shorter clips than 1,5 sec might be one of the culptrits
    Bengt cont.
    Set-Up might differ
    • Mac OS - most probably X.7 or more
    • iMovie version - more than iM'11 v. 9.0.4
    Action taken
    • Finalizing project - I never do as I never understood the gain to do so
    • Share as HD to iDVD - never give any gain but if it works the resulting DVD is less quality than if SD-quality was shared
    fps - set
    • I only use PAL (25fps)

  • InDesign CS5.5 EPUB export not showing cover image in Adobe Digital Editions

    I have a document that I am trying to ensure is reflecting the cover image prior to uploading to several EPUB sites like google and Barnes and Noble. I am using Adobe Digital Editions, Calibre, Firefox (EPUBReader) to do the troubleshooting on the document. Calibre shows the cover image Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) does not. Are their any known problems with ADE not reflecting the cover image that I need to be aware of before I continue working on this?
    The ADE help says the following:
    "Once the items are in your library, there are two ways to view the content of any bookshelf. You can view thumbnails of your items. The thumbnail is the cover page of the item (or just the first page if it doesn't have a cover page). In this view, you see the set of thumbnails and some information about each item (author, title). You can also sort the order in which the items are shown by author, title, date created, number of pages, and so forth."
    Here is basic informaiton. I have a cover page in my export to EPUB but ADE will only show the first page. Again Calibre shows the cover page.
    CS 5.5
    The project is a book (indb) composed of multiple documents (indd)
    Exporting as book as an EPUB
    On general tab I am "Use existing image"
    I am rasterizing the first image in Indesign via the "Object - Object export options" but I am not selecting that option when on the general tab of the Export to EPUB options. I am chosing a file from my disk. I thought that maybe the file name was too long but I changed the image to "cover.jpg" and reexported it but it still does not work.
    Here are the contents of the content.opf file with all the pointers. I have updated the file as I believe you can tell with guides, creation date, etc....
    It passes the SIGIL check.
    The image name is Democracy in Business Dust Jacket 300dpi.jpg. It is 300 dpi and 1650 x 2550. I could also cut in the one that I did for cover.jpg but it only replaces the file name.

    I have also been trying to get this cover image to display on PC for NOOK but it appears that everyone is having hits problem too. I have followed some trouble shooting guides and renamed the jpg image, Democracy in Business Dust Jacket 300dpi.jpg to cover.jpg but that doesn't seem to work either for NOOK.
    Any help you can give would be appreciated. I am new to InDesign (I know you probably hate hearing that, but I have gotten so close to being done overcoming all the new user hurdles). I think this is my last one before uploading to the appropriate sites - PS. I got the cover page to show up on the Kindle but not Adobe's own product.
    Thanks

    ebookjunkie, I have just used InDesign to publish two very short "books" (.99 cent variety) and started this thread with the first question. Look to Bob for the expert advice. This is neophyte advice from someone moving from publishing a full book using Word to EPUB/Kindle and now using InDesign to publish to EPUB/Kindle.
    First ADE is useless. I say this out of frustration of trying to use it to troubleshoot problems and it has so many problems in displaying an EPUB that you spend a lot of time troubleshooting ADE issues rather than EPUB problems. The problems are not limited to but won't display a cover page properly, text wrapping is iffy, Drop caps a problem, bringing over supported items like drop caps, all small caps, etc.... are also issues as best I can tell. Humble opinion is delete off your desktop. I use the following to troubleshoot my EPUB's/Kindle books on my Windows platform; Calibre, Barnes and Noble's Nook for PC and iPhone iTunes for EPUB (Sigil to look for errors); and for Kindle, Kindle previewer and Kindle for the PC. Even after doing this, I just today saw my book a buyer's Android "Reader" and the pictures did not display at all. So it is publish once and test everywhere! Unfortunately, you just can't test all the possible devices and iterations of readers. (I am from IBM and we couldn't do it, so how publishers are supposed to figure it out is beyond me!)
    On the absolutely great news end, you will see a lot of problems about placing images on the iPad with a lot of workarounds. They apparently (Apple) have fixed this as my two publications show images nicely now on both the iPhone and iPad with the iTunes bookshelf/reader. They were "microdots" when viewed previously. I did nothing to fix it and was just not going to publish to the iPAd and just tested them a few weeks ago and they display perfectly. So Apple has fixed the problem. If it looks good on the Nook for PC, it should look good on the iPAD/iPhone now as best I can tell.
    Cheers
