Obiee Reports and RPD Migrations

Hi All,
Could you please any one help me the steps for OBIEE reports & RPD migrations/deployments from instance to other instance.
Ex:-
scenario 1 :- i changed the reports (or) developed the new reports at development server , now i want to move this to other servers like UAT / PROD
scenario 2 :- i changed the existing RPD (or) developed the new logics in RPD at development server , now i want to move this to other servers like UAT / PROD
please help me the with steps.
Thanks,
Surendra.

Hello User,
You can do that in two methods:-
Method-1:-
i) FTPing the RPD and Webcatalog of DEV from Devinstancer to your Local Machine
ii) Again FTPing the Same RPD and WebCatalog from your local Machine to the UAT/Prod Server instance
iii) And modifying the NQSConfig and Instance Config accordingly.
Method-2:-

Report developed in 6i and open and run in 10g, Web Layout is not working

Hi,
Initially reports were developed in Reports 6i now we need to convert into 10g. I just opened the .rdf in Reports10g. Report is successfully running in paper layout and showing the data. But when i try to run the report in Web Layout im getting a BLANK INTERNET EXPLORER SCREEN. Why is it so? What should i do to run my report successfully in Web Layout? When i see Web Source, i am seeing the below code,

Report Developer Control Of Applying Hints to Analytics Queries

There are numerous ways to apply hints to the queries generated by Analytics:
- Table level
- Join level
- Evaluate calculation
Each has its advantages and drawbacks.
- Table level: applies the hint to every query that references the table.
- Join level: applies the hint whenever the join is used in the query.
- Evaluate: allows the report developer to include a hint, but can't control where Analytics decides to apply the hint.
I propose another method for the report developer to apply hints, when needed, that uses join level hints. All the report developer
does is add the hint column to the Answer or add a filter based on the hint column to the Answer to apply the hint.
Setup
NOTE: I suggest you do consistency checks along the way, especially before starting work in the next Layer, to be sure that all setup errors are resolved early.
1) Start by defining a Logical SQL table in the Physical Layer using the following SQL: Select 1 Hint from dual
2) Alias this table for each hint to be defined for report developer usage. As an example, alias the hint table, creating
No Star and Parallel alias tables.
3) Join each alias to the physical layer fact tables, using a complex join, where the hint could be applied. In the Join definition screen, put the hint in the HINT field and enter 1=1 for
in the Expression section. Yes, we are creating a cartesian join between the hint and the other joining table. As the hint table always returns one and only one row, there
is no effect on the rows returned by the query. For No Star, you
put NO_STAR_TRANSFORMATION in the Hint field. For Parallel, you put PARALLEL(<physical table name>, default, default), where the physical table name
is the name of the actual database table, not the name of the alias table (Analytics will put the alias in the place of the database table name
when it generates the SQL). Additionally, for hints that have no parameters, you only need to join it
to the Fact tables in a query and not necessarily the dimensions. If you include fields from multiple fact tables, the hint will be applied
for each fact table. So, you may see the hint multiple times in the SQL (something like SELECT /*+ NO_STAR_TRANSFORMATION NO_STAR_TRANSFORMATION */ t00001.col1...)
4) Add the hint alias tables to the BMM Layer.
5) Rename the Hint field in each of the BMM hint tables to identify the hint being applied. For No Star, change the column name from Hint to No Star Hint. For Parallel,
change the column name from Hint to Parallel Hint.
6) Set the hint column as a key.
7) Join the BMM hint tables to the appropriate fact tables, using a complex join.
8) Define each hint table as a dimension.
9) Set the Logical Level in the Content tab in each of the sources of the joined tables to use the Detail of the hint dimension.
10) Create a folder in the Presentation Layer called Hints
11) Place each BMM hint field into the Presentation Layer Hints folder.
To apply a hint to your Answer, either add the Hint field to your Answer or create a filter where the Hint field is equal to/is in 1 (the number one). Check that the SQL generated
contains the hint, in Answers, go into Administration, Session Manager, and view the log for the user (the user log level will need to have been set to 7 to see the SQL generated).
Use of hints in more complex setups can be done by performing a setup of the hints that is parallel to the fact table setup. As an example, if you specify fragmentation content and a where
clause in your BMM for your fact tables, you would setup parallel physical layer hint tables and joins, BMM objects and joins, fragmentation content, and where clauses based on the
hint tables (only hint tables are referenced in the where clause).
As any database person knows, hints can either help or degrade the performance of queries. So, taking the SQL of the pre-hint Answer and figuring out which hints give the best
performance is suggested, prior to adding the hint fields/filters to the Answer.

Hi Oliver,
I would suggest you to have a look at the below WLST script which would give you the required report of the active threads and it would be send an email too.

How to increas the width of the Table in OBIEE Report

Hi ,
I am creating a OBIEE report, the report has table and 30 column in it. When I am viewing the report in an excel file , its appearing good but the width of the table is so small if I am viewing the same in internet explorer/PDF .I dont know how to increase the width of the table. Could you please sort this issue out.
Thanks
Govindan P

- you can increase the width of a column -> column format values -> Additional Formatting Options
increase the width:
- Report level:
result tab -> Click on Format container of Table -> Additional Formatting Options
u can assign value width : 500 height:.....
- dashboard level:
Edit options -> section -> Format section -> Additional Formatting Options
here also u can change the width
u can assign value width : 500 height:.....
pls mark it helps....

Help required in building OBIEE Report

Hi,
Can anyone help me to below OBIEE issues as I am very new to this field.
1. The requirement is to create one Oracle Apps Projects OBIEE report which was previously in discoverer. The discoverer report has 6 worksheet and many custom folders and many custom functions used in worksheet. Now my question is what will be the best design in OBIEE RPD? As the data are coming as joining many folders so how that can be managed in OBIEE RPD physical layer?
2. How custom database functions can be called in OBIEE? The discoverer report has multiple database functions (coming from custom package))called in Calculation in worksheet level so how can I call these database functions to OBIEE rpd or OBIEE answers?
3. How do I make dimension fact in business mapping layer as the base report is based on the discoverer custome folders? So what will be the best case design for fact dimension?
4. How the data LOV can be created in OBIEE?
5. Is there any way to create sql queries in rpd for obiee reports? Suppose I have source data like this
select ....
from table a, table b
where joins..........
union
select statements.
How this type of data can be mapped into obiee rpd?
The requirement is to fetch the data directly from oracle ebs in obiee rpd without going to ETL.
Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Titas

One thing you could do is create an object model first, which will contain all the data for your user.
then all you need in the bean is a Hashtable with the name of the user as a key, and the user-object (which is actually the complete object model) as a value.
with the XML stated by you, you would get an object model something like this:
Class User
 String cwsid;
 String firstName;
 ArrayList<Role> roles = new ArrayList<Role>(); //I'm assuming a user can have more then one role.
 ArrayList<Country> countries = new ArrayList<Country>();
class Role {
 String code;
 String name;
class Country {
 String code;
 String name;
}And so on for all the varioous elemets of your XML.

Try going it by Sno.
If you are using Pivot Table, try changing measures from columns to rows and see. I vaguely remember doing this would address your need

OBIEE Report w/Drilldown

I have the following requirment to create a report from a relational model.
Report needs to show the following:
Location
Date
Number of Visits to Location (Per Month)
Number of Visits to Location (Per Day)
Number of Visits to Location (Per Time Interval/Every 30 minutes)
Report needs to drill down as follows:
Drilldown on Location to show all dates in month that had visits for that location.
Drilldown on date to show all visits for that day with times.
Currently all the above information is available in one view in database. How can I make this into an OBIEE report. Thanks in advance!

OBIEE report with Click button ( want to perform some actions)

Hi Experts,
My users want to make adhoc changes to an OBIEE report where I want to place a click button at the bottom of the report. Once the changes are done, They want to click the button so that the most current logical sql is captured and then it takes to another http url .
If any one have worked or has any ideas on this, Please share. Thanks in Advance.
S

Hi S,
Can you elaborate on what you mean by capturing the most current logical SQL?
What you are asking is only going to be as difficult as it is to perform the above action. The button and the navigate are simple.
John Minkjan shows you how to make a clear button here.
Basically you leverage the OBIEE class XUIPromptEntry minibuttonOn.
Here's the code (NOTE: You have to change the curly brackets to angular brackets):
{div class="XUIPromptEntry minibuttonOn"}{a href="#" onclick="return PersonalizationEditor.removeDefaultSelection(false)"}Clear{a}{div}
You can take this and modify it slightly to fit your purpose:
{div class="XUIPromptEntry minibuttonOn"}{a href="(URL to move to)" onclick="(javascript function that performs your task)"}Do Action Button{a}{div}
In the above, you will put the URL you want to navigate to in the (URL to move to) area. Then in the onclick function, you're going to want to write a javascript function that captures the latest logical SQL and have OBIEE call that function.
All that being said, this effort hinges on whether or not a javascript function can perform your task.
If you can elaborate on what you mean, I might be able to get you started on that function.
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!
Best regards,

OBIEE Report Export from Dashboard to Excel doesn't suppress the columns as

OBIEE Report Export from Dashboard to Excel doesn't suppress the columns as expected even after the properties are set to Suppress in the report. In Dashboard it is suppressed Properly but in the excel export it is not suppressed and values for the columns are repeated.
Added the following to the instanceconfig :
<Download>
<Export xsi:type="excel">
<DataValue>UseFormattedValue</DataValue>
<RepeatRows>false</RepeatRows>
</Export>
</Download>
But then could not restart services.The following error occured :

Problem solved!!
 
See this part of the query:
 
if :P15_GESTOR_PROPIETARI='-3' then 
w:= w||' AND (("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID"=:GESTOR '; 
w:= w||'OR "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID_ESTA_ASSIGNADA"=:GESTOR)'; 
w:= w||'OR ("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."AGR_***_***_ID"=:P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB ';
w:= w||' AND "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."PUBLICA"=''S''))'; 
end if; 
 
when instead of :P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB I put a value (say ''EE'') it works correctly, finally I created an application item (ASSOCIAT) and when when I change :P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB I set :ASSOCIAT to the same value and the query is based on this application item:
 
if :P15_GESTOR_PROPIETARI='-3' then 
w:= w||' AND (("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID"=:GESTOR '; 
w:= w||'OR "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID_ESTA_ASSIGNADA"=:GESTOR)'; 
w:= w||'OR ("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."AGR_***_***_ID"=:ASSOCIAT '; 
w:= w||' AND "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."PUBLICA"=''S''))'; 
end if;

Linking to an OBIEE report without showing the user and password

Hi!
we are trying to access to an obiee report from an external portal (coded with php).
The idea is that the user clicks on a link an gets the report in pdf format. For that purpose we are using this url:
http://ttivobiee01:7001/analytics/saw.dll?Go&Path=/shared/Prueba/ogp_obi&Action=Print&P0=1&P1=eq&P2="Criteria"."Key"&P3=1402&NQuser=user&NQPassword=pass&format=pdf
But this url is expossing OBIEE's user and password.
In order to avoid this security issue we tried to do an wget of the url but it doesn't return the report. Instead we get an html, which seams to download the report chunk by chunk (using javaScript).
The question is, is there any way that we could let our portal ussers access to an obbie report without expossing the user and password?
I have been looking into oracle forums and have found this: OBIEE Go URL with password protected
but we couldn't use this aproach due to security issues.
Thanks!
Nuria

Hi!
We have finally done this (and it works!)
<?php
$urlInforme='http://obi:7001/analytics/saw.dll?Go&Path=/shared/Prueba/ogp_obi&Action=Print&P0=1&P1=eq&P2="Criterios"."Clave oficial"&P3=1402&NQuser=user&NQPassword=pass&format=pdf';
$ch = curl_init($urlInforme);
$ckfile = tempnam ("./", "CURLCOOKIE");
$ch = curl_init ($urlInforme);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $ckfile);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$output = curl_exec ($ch);
$ch = curl_init ($urlInforme);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $ckfile);
