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 and workbook migration

Hi all,
what are the steps that need to be followed to migrate 3.X queries and workbooks to BI 7.0(2004s)? Or do they automatically get converted?
And is it possible to upgrade the frontend to BI 7.0 and use the new reporting (front end)functionalities, while the back end is still on 3.X?
Any insight or help would be appreciated and rewarded.
Thanks,
Mav

This question is a little ambiguous then as Heike and I have different interpretations. When you say "2004s backend", what do you mean? You need a 2004s spack to use the new functionalities (both backend and frontend).
Within this new stack, the old 3.x runtime exists and you can use it. Within the 2004s stack, you can use 3.x Infosource, transfer rules, update rules. I view this as a 3.x backend in a 2004s environment. So if your dataflow is using 3.x, that doesn't limit you to use only the 3.x tools. You can use the new tools.
I consider using transformations, DTP, etc as 2004s backend functionality.
So to clarify, what are you considering a 3.x backend? The technical requirement is to be on a 2004s stack, which I outlined in my original post... The delineation is the 3.x backend concept or 2004s backend concept in the new stack can both be used and that doesn't influence which frontend tools you can use.

Hot to display PDF and Word documents as an attachment in OBIEE Reports

Hi,
From few of Oracle threads I learnt that we can store the files in a server locaiton and read it thro a URL. What I am trying to do is, PDF or Word document will be stored in database as BLOB fields. This BLOB field needs to be come as an attachment in OBIEE Reports and by clicking that icon, it uses the local applicaiton PDF reader or a word applicaiton and open the attachment, just like how we open an attachment from a E-mail. Can you please help me with the possible methods of that. I can provide you more information incase if you need.
Thanks
Augesthi

As long as you used the paper-clip Attach icon, that should be fine.
The entire document appears to you because your Mac recognizes the document type, and displays it for you, saving you from having to mouse around and find a Reader for it. You can still use the Save icon to save a copy of only the attachment.
To avoid problems with other email readers, be sure the checkbox [√] send windows-friendly attachments is checked.
I addition, some email readers cannot cope with any attachments positioned at any place in the document other than at the very end. So make sure you move the cursor to the absolute end of the document before clicking "Attach".
If all else fails, send an email that says, "attachment to follow", then send the attachment right away in a separate email, with nothing else in the body of the message. Some use the Subject abbreviation (nt) to indicate "no text", that is, no words typed in the message portion.

How to add two columns in OBIEE report?

Hi to All,
Can anyone tell me how to add two columns in OBIEE report and get that result in a new column?
Thanks in Advance,
Thenmozhi

Assume you already have two columns SalesAmt1 and SalesAmt2, and you want to derive 3rd column say SalesAmt3 which would be the sum of SalesAmt1 and SalesAmt2.
For this, as I mentioned above pull SalesAmt1 and SalesAmt2 columns in Report. Now pull another column (say SalesAmt1) and open the fx. Clear the contents of fx. Now locate the columns button in the bottom of the fx. From Here, first select SalesAmt1 and + sign and the select SalesAmt2.
Now in this new column, the fx should look like SalesAmt1 + SalesAmt2.
Let me know if you are looking for something else.
Thanks

I want to display the DFF fields in OBIEE reports

Hello,
we have a requirement to show DFFs in OBIEE reports and i wanted to understand:
- Will we have to create a custom column mapping in Informatica and custom field in data warehose table?
- Should we modify the vanilla content or seprate code to be written and then create a join to OOTB tables?
Please suggest.
Thanks
Vinod

Hi Avinash,
Thank you for the prompt reply.
The DFF is a context sensitive DFF and by default it was not visible in the create absence window.
I had used the below metalink note to activate the context sensitive DFF in the above screen when the employee launches the LOA.
"Unable To Display Context Sensitive Additional Absence Details Dff In SSHR. [ID 466881.1]"
However my problem is that neither the supervisor nor the final HR approver sees this context sensitive DFF fields in the "Notification Summary" page.
The HR person can approve the leave and then go to core HR absence screen and then only see the DFF fields.
Some decision regarding air tickets etc. needs to be decided before the leave can be approved.
regards

Write OBIEE report results in database table

Hi everyone,
I need to implement a process that executes an OBIEE report and writes the result rows to a database table.
How can this be done?
Thanks,
Alex

You can do it with delivers/scheduler and a script.
Delviers give the content to the script and you can do what with it.

Drill Up in OBIEE Reports

I have created a data hierarchy in OBIEE Business Model by creating a dimension. When I am creating Request in Answers, I am able to see the measures against this dimension and call also drill down the hierarchy as desired. But once I go to the last level of the hierarchy, I am not able to drill up back to the higher aggregated levels.
How can I drill up in OBIEE Reports and how can I remove the filters which Answers automatically creates as we drill down?

How can I drill up in OBIEE ReportsBI doesn't support 'DRILL UP' as of the current version.
There is a note on the web that, these are supported in the upcoming OBIEE 11g
how can I remove the filters which Answers automatically creates as we drill down?These filters and columns appear in the criteria only when you are drilling within the answers request.
When you drill in the dashboards, you don't find these included in the criteria.
so, no need to bother on this.

Raghu

HtmlViewService not returning content of OBIEE report.

I am using C# to connect to OBIEE's Web Services. I am specifically using the HtmlViewService as I would like to return the HTML of certain OBIEE reports and embed them in ASP.NET pages. I have all the connection settings configured correctly and am able to call methods like getCommonBodyHTML, getHTMLForReport, getHtmlForPageWithOneReport, etc. (and obtain some sort of returned html) but the actual reports are not showing up.
I think the reason that html is being returned but no report is being displayed has to do with the ReportID and reportPath not being set correctly. At the most basic level, I would just like to return an entire report using the getHtmlForPageWithOneReport method. Originally this is what I had and I got errors:
The full path to my report is "/shared/webService/Sales"
The reportId is set to the name of my report: "Sales"
The reportRef is a ReportRef object with a URL of "/shared/webService"
String html = HTMLservice.getHtmlForPageWithOneReport(reportID, reportRef, null, null, null, pageParams, sessionID);
Because of the errors, I set the reportRef's URL to "/shared/webService/Sales" in order to just make the code work, but I am still not getting working OBIEE reports. I basically only get the "Loading..." icon. The html that is returned has multiple forms with a bunch of hidden input tags.
Can someone help me with this problem? Am I missing something with the reportID and reportRef parameters?
Thanks.

Hi Josh,
I was also facing the same problem. The solution in my case was
removing the logoff() method at the end of the application.
In my understanding the application is clearing the session
even before the report is generated on the page. So try
removing the logoff(sessionID) method that you might be using
at the end of your application.
I will soon post the code as well.
Thanks

OBIEE report with HFM and Essbase Data source

Hi All,
Just want your though can we get the data from HFM and Essbase data source in a single report i.e. for some account i want to show budget data from HFM and Forecast data from essbase in a single OBIEE report? If yes how can we model both Data source in rpd?

It possible but the challenge is to try to align the account hierarchy and the entity hierarchy between Essbase and HFM. HFM is looking the data at a top side consolidation level where planning will have more granular details to forecast correctly. The best solution is either to build a custom table in to import both sources, or to use HFM data into Essbase, or to use EPMA. The best in class solution stays to align hierarchies and metadata across applications. We implemented BI Financials Dashboard for the General Ledger, built a custom Dashboard connected in Real Time to Planning and are installing OFMA to connect HFM. Once done, you can rationalize metadata if not done before and start to link the different data into single reports. You will also have to ensure the data is refreshed at the same time to avoid inconsistency.

OBIEE 11g, Informatica and DAC: Migrating from Oracle DB to SQL Server?

Hi Gurus,
Currently we are implementing OBIEE 11g with Oracle BI Application for EBS (Supply Chain, Procurement & Finance modules). We have incorporated all OUT-OF-THE-BOX mappings and configurations in DAC, Informatica and RPD (no change, only OOTB). We were using Oracle DB and Linux servers.
Now the client wants to migrate this to one Windows box.
Can anyone point out, what are the changes need to done to migrate to SQL Server database. Any existing documentation or link will be helpful.
Edited by: Sudipta Gupta on Aug 2, 2012 1:59 PM

If you are using SQL Server 2008 then you need to edit the DAC config.bat file replace sqljdbc.jar with sqljdbc4.jar.
Rest of DAC and Informatica configuration is almost similar.
Let us if you come across any issues.
Hope this helps

Discoverer Reports and OBIEE

Hi,
Our Company has some Discoverer Reports and we would like to convert those reports into OBIEE. Has Oracle provided any migration or conversion utilities for this excercise? Please let us know.
Thanks and Regards,
-G

Hello
It depends how simple your workbooks are. The more complex they are the more difficult they are to migrate and some Discoverer features will be lost during the translations. Some Discoverer features will not migrate at all.
At this moment in time, with the current state of DOMA, I am coming down on the side of starting from scratch with OBIEE. There are, in my opinion, just too many of Discoverer's nice features that will not migrate. Starting from scratch will allow you to take advantage of all that OBIEE has to offer. Migrating could limit you to what Discoverer had to offer.
You could try a migration and see how much work there is still left to do. However, before you can do that you will need to upgrade Discoverer to 10.1.2.1 at the minimum. If you have already upgraded Discoverer to 10.1.2.1 or 11g you should be able to migrate the metadata. The only supported OBIEE version at this time is 10.1.3.4.1. After you have migrated to 10.1.3.4.1 you can then upgrade it to 11g.
Best wishes
Michael

Migrating from 11i to R12 - setup reports and diagnostics

Hi,
we are looking at migrating(not upgrading) from 11i to R12 and looking for setup scripts and diagnostics which can tell what org structure has been followed in 11i.
