OBIEE: REPORT FROM 2 FACTS WITH ONE SHARED AND ONE UNSHARED DIM; POSSIBLE??

Hi All,
We have a typical scenario to build a report from 2 subject areas(ideally from 2 facts)
Here is the Scenario: Creating a report which based on two facts(2 Subject Area's) and one common dimension and one unshared dimension.
Example
======
Dimension Date is common between Fact Transaction and Fact Credits.
Dimension Credit Type is applicable only for Fact Credit.
We have to build a report with the below mentioned attributes/metrics
Dim Date. Attribute (*Common Dimension*)
Fact.Transaction.Metric
Fact. Credit .Metric
Dim.Credit Type. Attribute (*Unshared Dimension*)
Is this is possible in OBIEE..?
Thanks,
Govardhana

Yes, you must use measure levels. Set the column level of each measure from the Transaction Fact to Total for the Credit Type dim.

OBIEE report from multiple facts at different levels

Currently we need to develop a report with columns from 3 different facts surrounded with conformed and non conformed dimensions at different levels.
After setting the hierarchial levels and putting the facts into single logical table with different sources OBIEE is generating 2 different queries and does a full outer join.
I would like to know how we can do a left outer join instead of full outer join between the 2 queries based on a common column?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vinod,
The scenario provided in the link above doesnt match to my issue.
We need to develop a report from multiple fact tables at different levels with conformed & non conformed dimension columns.
I have 7 dimensions D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6 and D7 & two fact F1 and F2 tables.
F1 is tied to dimensions D1,D2,D3,D4,d5
F2 is tied to dimensions D3,D4,D5, D6 and D7.
In my report I have columns from D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, F1 and F2.
So OBIEE generates 2 queries with columns from D1,D2,D3,D4,d5 & F1 measure and another query with D3,D4,D5, D6, D7 and F2 measure.
and then does a cross fact join out of box between 2 queries.
But I need to do a left outer join between the 2 queries on a common column instead of cross fact join. I would like to know how we can achive this.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can take the parameters to the select so that you will be able to create conditions over them.
Try to use this SQL instead of your and in the discoverer workbook create the conditions and parameters:

How to call an OBIEE report from EBS

Hi,
I'm trying to call an OBIEE report from an EBS menu.
I have setup the following form function calling SSWA jsp type function
Web HTML
OracleOasis.jsp?mode=OBIEE&function=Go&Path=/shared/APA%20Real%20Time/AR/AR02%20Revenue%20by%20Account%20Report&Action=Prompt
When I click the menu item OBIEE returns the following;
No Columns
The request cannot be performed because it contains no columns.
Can anyone please enlighten me on how to do this correctly
Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil,
I did some further investigation. The syntax to your Oracle BI Answers should be as follows;
OracleOasis.jsp?mode=OBIEE&function=Go&parameters=Path~/shared/APA%20Real%20Time/AR/AR02%20Revenue%20by%20Account%20Report
Check the following for more details;

Open OBIEE report from web application

Experts, I want to open OBIEE report from a web application. I have a question regarding the security here. Say I login as 'USER1' in web application, I would have to pass 'USER1' in nquser parameter. Correct? Also, this report has access to 'Sales Group' users only. So, does 'USER1' in web application need to be assigned to 'Sales Group'? Or, any user in the web application can open this report as long as I pass nquser in the GOURL.
thx,
parag

You don't need to specify group details.
When the report hits OBIEE, it will determine the permissions based on the nquser.
Hope it helps.

Joining Two facts with one dimension

hi,
Hello Experts,I am reporting out of 2 fact groups.
Mailing History and Booking.
The only common dimension between the 2 is the Person Dimension. I have created the hierarchies and defined the aggregation content in the LTS.This helps me in reporting using any column from the Facts or any one dimension from either of the fact groups. But if i select 2 or more dimensions , one or more from each fact group , then the report gives and error. A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 14026] Unable to navigate requested expression: MailingHistory Campaign.Campaign Name. Please fix the metadata consistency warnings. (HY000)
For Example : BookingDim--BookingFact-MailingHistoryFact (ok) MailingSourceDim--BookingFact-MailingHistoryFact works (ok) but BookingDim--BookingFact-MailingHistoryFact - MailingsourceDim (Fails ).
When i am applying the filter from the fact 1 . i am getting this error.(which is the column in the second fact table 2).I checked all the joins in the BMM layer.
Please help me!!!
Thanks,
Surya

Surya did you set the levels properly for two fact tables and also for metrics.
When ever you are using two fact groups with non confirmed dimensions you have to make sure all the content levels set for the fact tables and as well as for metrics.
in your fact tables/ metrics - For related dimensions set the level to Detail. and for the non related dimension set the level to Total. This way obiee server will understand what is related dimension and whats not related..
hope this works for you.

Report from 2 Facts and 1 Semi-Related Dimension

Hello,
I have a metadata structure as follows that is working properly:
- Sales Fact
- Targets Fact
- Time Dimension
- Sales Team Dimension
The initial requirement was to build a dashboard report that returns actual sales results by sales team and compares them to their targets.
Now the requirements have changed slightly and we need to filter the Sales Fact table based on a line of business. I was able to add the Line Of Business Dimension to the metadata and join it to the Sales Fact. This is where the problem arises. Sales results are now accurately returned with the filter, but since there is no relationship between the Targets Fact and Line of Business Dimension, those results now come back empty.
Is there a way to tweak the metadata or report to fix this behaviour?
Any recommendations are appreciated.
Thanks

There is no relationship between the Line of Business dimension and the Target Fact so they cannot be joined. I want to be able to query the Sales Fact with any dimension related to it and combine the results in a single table with the results from the Target Fact.

Security Issue while calling a OBIEE report from SOAP UI

I created a sample report in OBIEE and am trying to run the report from SOAP UI
I am using the ReportService WSDL and runReport operation for the same.
I am getting following error failed: due to java.lang.SecurityException: Security violation: ~weblogic/Drafts/test.xdo, user: weblogic, permission: 0<
The user weblogic is the default use and i have assigned all the groups.
Again in application roles under the Application Strip in Obi i have assigned user weblogic to all the roles.
Still i am not able to call this web service and is failing with the above mentioned message.
Am i missing anything?

Just in case the error message might help you to identify the issue.

Calling report from a form with user input parameters

Hello,
I am new to Oracle reports. I have an application coded in 6i. I am currently running the application in Oracle Forms Builder 9i. There are also few reports which are called from the forms. Since the application was developed in 6i, the report was called using Run_Product. The forms pass a set of user parameters to the report using the parameter list pl_id. The syntax used was Run_Product(REPORTS, 'D:\Report\sales.rdf', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
I learnt that the Run_product doesnt work in 9i and we need to use run_report_object. I have changed the code to use run_report_object and using web.show_document () i am able to run the report from the form. There are 2 parameters that need to be passed from forms to reports. The parameters are from_date and to_date which the user will be prompted to enter on running the form. In the report, the initial values for these parametes are defined. So, the report runs fine for the initial value always. But when i try to change the user inputs for the form_date and to_date, the report output doesnt seem to take the new values, instead the old report with the initial values(defined in the report) runs again.
Can someone give me the code to pass the user defined parameters to the report from the forms? I have defined a report object in the forms node as REPTEST and defined a parameter list pl_id and added form_date and to_date to pl_id and used the following coding:
vrepid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT ('REPTEST');
vrep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT (vrepid,pl_id);
But this doesnt work.
Also, Should the parameters defined in the forms and reports have the same name?

Thanks for the quick response Denis.
I had referred to the document link before and tried using the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC procedure and ENCODE functions as given in the doc and added the following SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY in the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC :
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_OTHER,' FROM_DATE='||:BLK_INPUT.FROM_DATE||' TO_DATE='||:BLK_INPUT.TO_DATE||' paramform=no');
But this also dint work. Please help me understand what difference does setting paramform=no OR paramform=yes make?
In the report, i have defined the user parameters as FROM_DATE and TO_DATE respectively so that they match the form datablock BLK_INPUT items FROM_DATE and TO_DATE.
My WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED trigger is as below:
DECLARE
report_id report_object;
vrep VARCHAR2 (100);
v_show_document VARCHAR2 (2000) := '/reports/rwservlet?';
v_connect VARCHAR2 (30) := '&userid=scott/tiger@oracle';
v_report_server VARCHAR2 (30) := 'repserver90';

-- Call the generic PL/SQL procedure to run the Reports

END IF;
In the code - " hidden_action := hidden_action ||'&'|| v_report_other; " in the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC procedure above, how do i make sure that the v_report_other variable reflects the user input parameters FROM_DATE and TO_DATE ??? v_report_other is initialised as v_report_other VARCHAR2(4000) :=''; in the procedure. Will ensuring that the v_report_other contains the user input parameters FROM_DATE and TO_DATE ensure that my report will run fine for the input parameters?
Thanks in advance.
