Configuring rpd file to see on obiee as subject area

Hello,
I am done creating an rpd file no error at all. Can anyone give me a step on how can i see through obiee as a subject area the rpd file i created?
thanks in advance.

Can anyone give me a step on how can i see through obiee as a subject area the rpd file i created?After creating the RPD file without error,you need to add this file to NQSconfig.ini in that you will find a file named sample.RPD ,DEFAULT that should be commented and add your ROD file details same as that.Below that you need to change the cache enable=No
You can find it in this link

Loading my RPDs into the subject area of the BI answers

Hi,
I have created my own RPds (repository files with it's own data model) and have updated the nqsconfig.ini with the following 2 entries
Star = eam_predictive_mileage_cost.rpd, DEFAULT;
Star = eam_cost_period_avg.rpd;
However when I restart the BI server and the presentation server, it only loads the schema associated with the first entry and does not load the schema associated with the second entry in the "Subject ARea" when I log in to the Oracle BI presentation server.How can I get my schema associated with the second entry (i.e eam_cost_period_avg.rpd) to load in the subject area of the Oracle BI Answers??.
Thanks

Hi,
actually, this is an OBI limitation ... only one repository can be served at a time.
OBI serves the repository marked as "DEFAULT", despite of its order in config file.

OBIEE SupplierSales Subject Area

Hi,
I am a newbie to OBIEE and trying to learn. I have created a sample repository based on SUPPLIER2 oracle sample database. I have create the physical, business & presentation layer catalog. I can also see SupplierSales subject area in Answers and no errors in global consistency check. But when I expand Product dimension it throws an error saying "There was an unknown error with the server call", while it is allowing to expand other dimensions.
What could be the cause of this error? Why is it allowing to expand other dimensions & not Product dimension?
Thanks,
Sidd

Hi,
Could you please, share (amoyeedATgmailDotCom) the SupplierSales Schema (DDL & Data) ? I am new to OBIEE and trying to learn. Your help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Add Remove Subject Area greyed out in Answers

Hi,
I am using Obiee 11g and want to create a report from two subject areas with a common dimension. Unfortunately the Add / Remove Subject area button (the one with the - usually green - cross) in the subject areas pane.
Any idea why ?
Thanks,
Knut

Hi,
No. its by defaults its working fine. in our obiee11.1.1.5.0 versions there are two add/remove subject areas
1)
The text "Add/RemoveSubject Area" is the tooltip for the encircled button.
screen short ref:
https://pzt.me/dx/img/5/i/9/5i9f.png
Add/Remove Subject Areas — This button is available only if one or more related subject areas are available and you have permission to access them. Use this button to display the "Add/Remove Subject Areas dialog", from which you can add or remove related subject areas.
2) Multiple subject (Add/Remove Subject Areas)
check the sample screen short of mine...
http://imageshare.web.id/images/9beyx9w4dc669bq8p2i.jpg
multiple subject are are below of save as (i.e: its selected colmns pane/section right side)
button u can see plus /minus simbol here u just select then u can add it multiple subject area

Can the current subject area be determined?

obiee 11G
I would like to create a session variable that contains the users current subject area.
Does anyone know if that is possible?

On our system, any user can only be in one subject area at a time.
We would like to set query limits based on the subject area. For example, someone using the Human Resources subject area would be allowed to have a query time limit of 5 minutes. Someone using the Finance subject area would have a query time limit of 3 minutes.
(These are just hypothetical subject areas and time limits used for the example.)
Usage tracking accesses that information somehow, but I cant use usage tracking because that is already too late.
So if usage tracking can determine which subject area the user is accessing, I would like to know if it is possible for me to determine the subject area that the user is accessing.
I just want to know if there is a way to populate a session variable with the users current subject area, so I can use the subject area to set the time limit.
I already know how to set the query limit, I just need a way to determine the users current subject area.

How to hide Subject Areas

Hi,
I am using BI analytics Apps RPD. By default they are showing Subject Areas and Dashboards. I have already Hide the Dashboards. But i am not able to hide Suject Areas. How can i hide Subject Areas.
Help me on this.
Thanks

If these Subject Areas and Dashboards are not required at all then why don't you go for custom BLANK RPD and BLANK Dashboard. You can create your own subject area and dashboards then
In order to hide subject area you will have to remove object level permissions on these. You can achieve this in RPD Subject Area permission as well as Manage Privileges. You just need to remove all permissions.

One Request - Two Subject Area

Hi,
Is it possible to use two different SA for one request. I will be having a flag from table this flag will have my SA name it can be SA1 or SA2.
Based on this flag i need to change SA in the request.
thanks advance
Vazir.

Hi Chris,
thanks for your reply,
currently we are using the same method as you said.
In our dashboard what I will see is any one request at a time.
But the problem is both the requests are hitting source, then BI server decides which request to display or hide based on Guided navigation results.
What I want is if my flag is SA1 then my query should fire only to SA1's source and viceversa
So thats why raised like One request - Two Subject Area.

Multiple subject areas within publisher & drill downs

Hi ,
can we pull data from multiple subject areas within publisher and place the report on a dashboard and still do drill downs?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply,
I could not see any provision to get data from multiple subject areas.
In BI Answers we can get data from multiple subject Areas but we cannot do the drill down.
If there is any way to get data from multiple subject areas and still do the drill down then plz increase my knowledge repository....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks,

OBIEE 11g: Searching Subject Area for measure names in Answers

Hello,
I have installed OBIEE 11g SampleApp 825 and just exploring the provided set of dashboards.
From the samples, I am performing following steps:
- I selected Edit Dashboard (for 2.1 Simple Demo Dashboard)
- For Column 2, in the Master Detail 1 Compound View, I did Edit Analysis
- which took me into the Answers design interface with 4 tabs (Criteria, Results, Prompts, Adv).
In the Criteria tab, there is the Subject Area pane on the left where it shows the Subject Area this Answers report is built on and a bunch of Folders like Time, Products, Base Facts etc.
Beside the Subject Area pane, is the Selected Columns pane where you drop fields from the folders.
This particular analysis (Product Line Analysis) has three columns: Revenue Analysis, Products Hierarchy and T05 Per Name Year.
Now, I want to find the folder to which the Revenue Analysis measure belongs. So, I started expanding each node/folder in the Subject Area pane and visually searching for "Revenue Analysis"....cannot find it!
How to determine which Subject Area folder a field on the Analysis belongs to? In Oracle Discoverer, only the Folders from which fields are selected are "enabled" so it's easy to navigate straight to that folder. Or again, in Discoverer, you can actually search for a particular field name and it will return all folders that have that field name pattern. While the Search feature on the top row is useful in finding which Analysis/Report match a string, it does not help in identifying relevant Subject Area Folder fields that match a pattern.
Is something similar available in Answers/OBIEE 11g?
Thanks,
Manish
Edited by: mhathi on Oct 21, 2010 8:53 AM

Again answering part of my own question...It was staring me right in the eye and I couldn't see it:-)...When you have a column in the Selected Columns pane, it's source is right there above the field name. If there is no source folder listed, then it might mean it's a formula. For example in my case, the Products Hierarchy column has the word Product above it...that's the folder it belongs to.
Good. But, the follow-on question still remains, how to search for folders containing a particular string, to find say all folders that have columns like %Margin%?

Multiple Subject Area - OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have to do cross-subject area operations in OBIEE 11g. Here is what I have found out:
1. There is an option to use Union/Intersect operations which creates a Union query
2. There is an option to use 'Add/Remove Subject Area' which can be used to combine Attributes/Facts across multiple Subject Areas.
I am looking forward more details on second point above but unfortunately there isn't an official document by Oracle on it.
As I understand, by using 'Add/Remove Subject Area', OBIEE does not create a UNION query but it combines the attributes as if they are used through same Subject Area. So, it is not a typical join as I dont see something like Subject Area 1.Key = Subject Area 2.Key in Query log which brings me to a question:
Is it possible to use the option to combine attributes across Subject Area based off Multiple BMM in RPD? I think the answer is NO because I don't think there is a way for OBIEE to combine results sets from different BMM.
Thoughts?

I am afraid but I am not able to follow your suggestion. I will try to make it very simple:
1. We create Subject Areas in RPD
2. Each Subject Area will be based on BMM created in RPD. Now, you can have multiple Subject Areas which are again based on BMM itself.
3. I can also create multiple BMM within RPD.
Something like:
BMM A, Subject Areas - 1A and 2A
BMM B, Subject Areas - 1B and 2B
From above, consider you have created two BMM's - A and B and within each BMM there are two Subject Areas. 1A and 2A in BMM A and 1B and 2B in BMM B.
Now, when I logon to Answers, when I click on New->Analysis, I would see four Subject Areas - 1A, 2A, 1B and 2B. Suppose I select 1A. Now, when I try to use Add/Remove Subject areas option, I can only see 1B (because both of them are from same BMM - A). I won't see 2A and 2B.
So, this brings me to conclusion that you cannot combine attributes from different BMM using 'Add/Remove Subject Areas'. You can however use UNION/INTERSECT to do the operation but Add/Remove Subject Areas is limited to be used when your Subject areas are connected in the same BMM.
Is my understanding correct?
