OBIEE requirement

Hi everyone,
I have a requirement where i need to show the tile in subreport dynamically like Employee Headcount By accounting/Accountant/Manager..
Example:
I have report A (Parent Report).I have used column selector to show Trend.Let say Department wise,job wise and Position wise
This report A navigates to the Report B(sub report) wherein Details of the employee is shown.
My requirement is
Report B does have Title.As Per the click on the Parent Report column the Title need to be change in Report B.
Workaround I did to achieve this:
1)Created the Same Presentation Variable for  all the column(Departement:@{DEPT},Position:@{DEPT}},Job:@{DEPT})
2)Prompted in Report A using the PV
3)And added this Variable in Title View.
But this will work if we have Dashboard Prompt for all this columns.
Another Method:
1)Created Dummy column in Report B where Condition write is
CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN Department_desc ELSE job_desc.....
END
What it do is always get Fail and show Job Desc even for department
2)Narrative this column in Narrative View.
Hope i'm clear.Kindly suggest me on this..
Thanks in advance,

You mean a perfectly preconfigured and working example of a master-detail relationship isn't clear enough?

  • OBIEE Infrastructure - Set Up

    We are in the process of setting up test and production environment for OBIEE deployment. Currently we have a development environment on a windows 2003 server and we are using OC4J server for the presentation and Dash board deployment.
    Now we want to build a test and production environment and need some guidance. We are planning to install one more Windows servers for test and a LINUX for deploying the production repository. The questions we have are :
    1. Is it a good / not good idea to have LINUX for production ?
    2. Is OC4J server good enough to deploy the dashboard/presentation services? Do we have to use IIS / ORacle APPS server ?
    3. How do we move the repository from one environment to another ?
    4. Do we need to create separate backend database instances for dev and test ?
    Hey Gurus please guide us on the above issues.
    We appreciate your response on the aforementioned items.
    Thanks !

    1. Is it a good / not good idea to have LINUX for production ?The discussion on what's best, Windows or Linux, can go for ever. OBIEE is as good in Windows as it is in Linux. What's probably not a good a idea is to have different OSes for your different environments. You should use the same OS in each environment, otherwise how can you guarantee you will have OS specific issues that you might not see in Test?
    2. Is OC4J server good enough to deploy the dashboard/presentation services? Do we have to use IIS / ORacle APPS server ?It's good enough, otherwise Oracle will not include it.
    3. How do we move the repository from one environment to another ?You copy the RPD manually using Windows shares or FTP/SCP/etc.
    4. Do we need to create separate backend database instances for dev and test ?Ideally yes, but that's not an OBIEE requirement. You can host all your environments in one DB using different schemas. Personally I would want to have separate databases and separate hardware for each environment.

  • Unable to pass the values to stored proc using presentation variable in OBI

    Hi All,
    Need your help regarding in resolving an issue in OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1
    There is an OBIEE requirement whereby two prompts need to be defined.
    1.     Textbox prompt
    2.     Drop-down prompt
    The dropdown values should be populated using textbox prompt. So, we have used presentation variable in textbox prompt and passing the same to select query of drop-down.
    Until this step, the report works just fine.
    Now, the value in both textbox and drop-down needs to be passed to stored proc.
    While trying to pass the values by using the presentation variable, the following error comes-up saying
    Session variable has no value definition.
    Note:Although the corresponding session variable has been set to default value,still the error appears.
    Please advise.
    Regards,
    Prasad

    "Session variable has no value definition" I'm assuming typo error and it should be presentation variable.
    Set default value for presentation variable that may work

  • Dashboard prompt filter navigating to different tabular reports

    Hi,
    I was able to implement this halfway.
    My Dashboard prompt has 4 filters, the fourth filter has three drop down values.
    "Report with Sales Amount"
    "Report with Purchase Amount"
    "Report with both Purchase and Sales"
    when the user selects the first choice, it should navigate to my "SALES-REPORT" which is section2 of the dashboard page.
    when the user selects the second choice, it should navigate to my "PURCHASE-REPORT" which is section3 of the dashboard page.
    when the user selects the third choice, it should navigate to my "COMBINED-REPORT" which is section4 of the dashboard page.
    All three are three entirely different report, so far with previous advice, i have created the Dashboard prompt and the presentation variable, but unable to proceed further.
    Thanks for your time and help.

    I will show you how to do it with one. Repeat for the other two reports.
    1) Build a small report with any two CHAR columns. For the first column, click on the fx, copy the column name and then delete it. Type this: CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN (paste the column name you copied here) ELSE 'Report with Sales Amount' END. The second column leave as is. The reason for the second column is because OBIEE requires every report to have at least one column. Since we "dummied out" the first column, if you don't have another column, OBIEE will error.
    2) Put a filter on the first column and set it to the Presentation Variable you had for the fourth column prompt (the one the users can select "Report with Sales Amount" from).
    3) On your dashboard, drag the "SALES-REPORT" report to a section.
    4) On this section, click on the Section Properties button (NOT the report Properties button!) and select Guided Navigation.
    5) Browse to the small report you created in step 1) and click on the "when the report returns rows" radio button.
    So what this does is this: When the user selects "Report with Sales Amount" from the dashboard prompt, it will produce a row on your small report. And because of this, the Guided Navigation of the section will display this report. When the user selects anything else, the small report will return no rows and this section will not display.
    Repeat the above for the other two reports making the proper modifications.

  • What is BI Apps

    Hi -
    I am trying to understand what is BI Apps? Can someone explain to me. I know it has pre built dashboards and is similar to DBI. But I am trying to understand how different this is from OBIEE in terms of hardware and licensing. My questions -
    Is it bundled with OBIEE?
    Is OBIEE required for BI Apps to work?
    Or is BI standalone product. I just buy, install and use it?
    This might help me prepare a presentation.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    Basically BI Apps is reporting(obiee) + ETL(informatica or ODI) + Scheduling ETL tool(DAC)
    The Answers for your questions are
    i, Yes it is budled with obiee and very much required for BI Apps. OBIEE is used just for reporting part in BI Apps.
    Depending on BI Apps versions, the ETL can be informatica or ODI(oracle data integrator in BI Apps 7.9.5.2)

  • Installing OEM

    Hi,
    I have a question regarding OEM. we just upgraded our analytics platform to obiee 10.3.3.3 from siebel analytics 7.8.5 . As, known, OBIEE required oc4j . My question is can we now install OEM to manage the OC4J and can we point it to the already installed OC4J. Can some calrify this, since we need OEM to manage OC4J or is there another way.

    Because you are talking about "J2EE & Web Cache" language, I assume you are talking about Application Server Control (You may be calling it as OEM). I got Application Server Control (OEM) when I installed J2EE & WebCache.You will get Application Server Control even in Portal & Wireless Installl type. By default Application server control starts.If you have any difficulty in accessing Application server control at http://yourserverfullname:1810 check the status using emctl as follows.
    emctl status iasconsole
    if it is not running , start the Application Server Control using
    emctl start iasconsole
    Hope this helps.

  • Best OLTP Reporting Tool

    Hi Gurus,
    My company asked me to build a reporting framework to support their needs on OLTP, i am trying to do some research on which tool is the best tool to do reporting on OLTP..
    Need help to find out a best reporting tool to make reports on OLTP data base
    Right now we are using OBIEE for our OLAP reporting and we are open to implement any tools, need inputs and comparisons between all the available tools and pros and cons also.
    Appreciate all your inputs/suggestion.
    Thanks,
    Seshu.

    1) I guess you tried to pull thousands or report's rows on screen. Firstly OBIEE does pagination perfectly. Secondly human being cannot handle more than 30-50 lines physically. It is simple psychology. As soon as you've jumped on other couple pages you have no idea what was on the first pages. I've never seen such an idiot who would need report even with few hundred rows. Such reports are example of bad practice.I agree with that but you missed my point. Enterprises are large "beats" and as such they have many departments where they use different tools. In an ideal world you will have one and only one DWH with one an only one reporting tool on top. The thruth is that this never ever happens in reality. So in many cases users are asked to provide larde data extracts to use as sources for other reporting systems or external entities. OBIEE can not handle these data extracts properly as it not designed to work as an "extraction tool". This is what you missed. BO can handle them very well as it was designed as an extration tool in mind.
    2) Here you are right if it is all about dimensional model. However here is the difference between OLTP and data warehouse. In data warehouse users should be educated to know conceptual and logical models. BTW you are getting requirements from them and you say they don't know which dims can be pulled with facts and which ones cannot? Wow )) Also OBIEE does allow to pull such dims ( not connected to facts ) using very simple OBIEE modeling technique (level-based measures). That makes OBIEE reporting/analytics very flexible. You are only thinking dimensional. That's very good for an OBIEE developer. But the world is more than just dimensional. You can't answer all reporting requirements with a dimensional model I am afraid. So keep this in mind. A DWH is not the solution to all report requirements just like saying "a truck is the best vehicle in the world because it's big and can transport big loads". BTW have you tried to implement cross-fact analysis in OBIEE? Do you know that you need to set the content level for each non-confirmed dimension in each measure individually or OBIEE will bring back the measure as "NULL"? It's non-sense really, it's too tricky and too flaky.
    3) OBIEE has GUI object called PROMPT. There you have full power to force users to apply filters. And you can easily pre-defined your prompt's filter values.Again you missed a key word on my statement: "adhoc users". Prompts are fine but don't exist unless the OBIEE developer creates them in advance, typically in a dashboard. I am talking about ad-hoc here so you know that's Answers. Try to restrict Answers users and force them to put a filter on a column and you will know what I mean. BO can do this in the metadata very easily. OBIEE can't. Prompts are fine (*) but they need to be created in advance by the report developer. (*) Actually they are not that fine, you can't even force them OOTB to use a prompt or not run a dashboard without any values. Sure there are work arounds, but such a basic feature should be part of the product!
    4) OBIEE has different concepts of dims hierarchies and visual presentations. Here you are mixing them together. Indeed OBIEE 10g has such a restriction on GUI to have maximum two embedded levels. But it is only visual presentation. In business model you can have N levels of hierarchy and multiple hierarchies in dim . My goodness !!!Do you really think that ORACLE does not follow dimensional modeling ABCs? BTW please check Gartner's magic quadrants. ............BTW did you see OBIEE 11g demo ??????Yes it's only visual presentation, but that's one of the most important things! It's a stupid restriction. If you can have N levels on the BMM why shouldn't you have the ability to prent the data in more levels. Yes, I have seen the magic quadrant and Microsoft is on top of OBIEE (see http://www.gartner.com/technology/media-products/reprints/microsoft/vol2/article15/article15.html). Yes I have seen OBIEE 11g and have running on one of our Dev boxes. It's one of the most buggy releases I have seen in years. Only last week the client tools were released for Windows. How can you have proper ecosystem without proper client tools? No Solaris or HPUX release so it's a partial release. No support for other J2EE web app servers. From our point of view OBIEE 11g is a beta release. We are seating and waiting for Oracle to clean it this mess and get the product stable. And if you think Oracle Support will help read this: http://searchoracle.techtarget.com/news/2240031826/Has-the-phrase-Oracle-Support-become-an-oxymoron
    5) Inheritance...Hm, maybe it is simple dimensional modeling concept of supertype/subtype described in any BI/DW books? I am not arguing. maybe BO does it with one click. yeah, convenient enough, but no critical.Consider this problem. You have a large DWH that a large organisation wants to share with different departments which they would then extend adding they own data sources and customise to their own needs. How would you handle changes in the "core" model that need to feed to the different departments metadata stores? RPD merging and MUDE is a mess to be honest, it barely works and it's too prone to human error. Once you worked in a very large project with many OBIEE developers working in different parallel projects you will realise that inheritance is the only sensible solution. I wish Oracle would see this as well. If the metadata was in a database it would have been so much easier...
    6) Again just lack of knowledge of dimensional modeling in OBIEE. The one support ALL types of models: snowflakes (3NF) and star. Only what OBIEE requires you cannot have standalone logical table without any relations to at least one another table. Heh...I cannot recall such an example even from Bill Inmon. Regarding 3 layers. This gives you tremendous advantage over BO )) Why? It is long story))You can support all models in dimensional, but should you be forced to use it? 3 layers is not advantage. It's an interesting aproach to solve how you need to model things in OBIEE. You have become too used to it and now think it's the best in the world. It's not, in a relational reporting solution 2 layers are more than enough (physical with all your joins and presentation with all your business names and hierarchies).
    8) You I understood you correctly ))))))) None of BI tools today can beat OBIEE on number of supported data sources. I'm just wondering. When you add new column in dim/fact table you DO NOT change your metadata????? My assumption is that BO does always "select * from <table name>"? Yes, then you don't have to change your metadata. The what kind of query BO generates against database??? select d1.*,f1* from dim d1, fact f1...????OK consider this requirement. You work for a top US bank. You have invested $5m in the state-of-the-art DWH with OBIEE that covers every requirement you may even need. The US FED comes in and tells you that it wants one of your excellent reports but filtered for a number of companies. They give the user a spreadsheet with 20k companies that you need to filter you report on. Can any user in OBIEE perform the filtering without any changes in OBIEE? No. In BO you can. End of the argument.
    9) That is not true AT ALLYou saying that OBIEE can "merge" two Answers reports and get attributes from both queries in an INNER/OUTER/FULL OUTER fashion? Please show me how, I love to learn from you! (BO indeed can).
    10) You r kidding me )) have you forgotten in what time are we living??))) Do you read latest news? By 2016 most of businesses will be in social networks. Everyone wants to be power user holding mobile device in his hands!!!
    AND.....OBIEE already DOES it !!!The web client works for 90% of the user population, as said in my comment for real "power users" a fat client approach works best. There browsers are still not powerful enough to handle large data sets. Going back to Gartner's 2011 Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms, which you seem to love, I quote from it: "[...] it (Oracle) has lacked innovation around mobile, in-memory, consumerization, interactive visualization and search [...]".
    Please forgive me to be so sarcastic. But today the only real advantage BO over OBIEE is PRICE. I would really advise you to look at OBIEE11g. It is almost different product then OBIEE10g.I love sarcasm. Sarcasm is my middle name. But you need to open your mind a bit. OBIEE has taken control of your brain! :-) One solution does not fit all. The world of IT is too big for that...

  • 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.

    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.

  • Requirement to upgrade OBIEE 10g on Windows to OBIEE 11g on Linux

    Dear All,
    I have a requirement to upgrade OBIEE 10g from current windows 2003 environment to OBIEE 11g Linux environment.
    I went through forums and many threads on upgrade, everywhere they talk about Upgrade Assistant (UA). And oracle documentation says ,
    +"Do not change from one platform or architecture to a different platform or architecture as part of the upgrade process.+
    +For example, if the existing 10g system is running on a Windows 32-bit platform, do not install Oracle BI 11g on a Linux 64-bit platform and then run the Linux 64-bit Upgrade Assistant to upgrade the existing 10g system."+
    But there would certainly be scenarios with other users the way I have. Then what is the way out to do this upgrade?
    Can anyone give some advice on this. It is little urgent.
    Thanking in advance.
    Regards,
    Deepika.

    Thats are huge change in platform. win32 to linux 64.
    Yet what we upgrade is only
    catalog and rpd.
    this might involve some manual change if UA cannot complete successfully.
    Its better to do a prototype before the actual upgrade as recommended by Oracle. This will show what can the possible issues and road blocks.

  • Dynamic Column Selector in OBIEE - Solution required

    Hello Experts,
    I am pretty new to OBIEE. Please help me to get OBIEE solution for below requirement.
    I have one 25 column dimension table in database. Created OBIEE .rpd file and published in BI server. Now I need to provide one user interface in which user should be able to chose any number of columns of his choice and he should get record set of those selected columns. Something in my mind is like this.
    I should be providing list of 25 column names with check box to select one or many. Assuming that if user selects Col1, Col3,Col5 and Col7 then he should get the result in excel file with record set of those 4 columns.
    I am using OBIEE 10g.
    Any solution for this is highly appreciated.
    Edited by: user7850154 on Dec 5, 2010 9:22 AM

    user,
    Usually, dynamic column seletor is implemented through "column selector view" available within compund layout of OBIEE Answers.
    But, it does allow you to select only single column rather than multiple columns - which in your case is required.

    hi,

    Any one have sample doc for it? What is presales demo?

    Hello,
    Greetings! I downloaded the documentation library for OBIEE 11g as zip file on my win 7 (64 bit) machine. I did the extraction. It took more than 1 hour to extract. It was accessing the oracle site during extraction.
    Is it normal? Why does it go to oracle site for ZIP file extraction?
    It created multiple folders. I find some HTML file on the root folder of documentation on my desktop. If I open it, it shows all the documentation of Oracle products. If I click the links, it will not open the respective documentation.
    I did not find any getting started guide for OBIEE there.
    Any thoughts?
    Could you let me know the relevant OBIEE documentations for learning OBIEE 11g?
    What is the recommended sequence of going through OBIEE documentations?
    Thanks in helping me out.
