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,
Abdul

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

Google Map Issue in OBIEE - Subject area not getting associated

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to integrate Google map and OBIEE via mapviewer. We have done the following already -
1. Loaded World Sample data from Navteq.
2. Configured mapviewer source and added Google map as a tile layer with the API KEY.
3. Imported one layer (e.g. M_STATES_ABRV) in OBIEE and linked it with BI subject area (tried this step with importing other layers as well)
4. Added background map.
Now , in this step when we add the layer in the map, we select M_STATES_ABRV and change zoom levels. But Once we come back to main screen after Clicking OK, we see the background map is not associated with the subject area. Hence any map view report creation with this subject area fails.
We have the tried the same theme with Oracle Maps (internal type like WORLD MAP or DEMO MAP), it works fine. only Google Map gives this issue.
This was not expected. Please suggest what we missed. We tried with cache clear, tile delete and recreation, service restart almost everything .
We looked into other threads in this community, different oracle support documents - Doc ID 1485088.1,Doc ID 1346805.1 etc and in different internet blogs - where it's easy as child's play, but we are still out of luck.
OBIEE version - 11.1.1.7.140527
Environment- windows server 2008 R2
Please suggest.
Regards,
Krish

I have found the solution: You need to *select* zoom levels for the BI Layer. When a BI Layer is added to a background map, by default no zoom layers are selected. Once a zoom level is selected, the BI Layer will save.

How to find total report based on a particular subject area in OBIEE?

Hi Everyone,
I am new to OBIEE. I want to find out all the reports based on a particular subject area as there are many subject areas and lot of reports in OBIEE.
Please help me out in this issue.
Thanks

Sohail,
Check out the catalogue manager reports :
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/11/19/oracle-bi-ee-catalog-reports/
If you want this kind of thing automated, I personally am very fond of the ODI -> OBIEE Data lineage solution as provided in Oracle By Example tutorials :

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

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?

Subject Areas are inaccessible in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
We are facing a peculiar issue in our OBIEE environment. Some times when we update RPD in online mode and check in the changes, other developers are not able to access few Subject Areas though they have Read access for Everyone group. Today we faced this issue even when RPD is not updated.
Any help/suggestions on this will be helpful
Thanks,
Vijay

ours is a simple security model. we had issue with some new roles created for POC purpose. After removing those roles we are not facing issue anymore

I have created the OBIEE metadata for an OLAP cube using the following steps:
1. Created and Maintained a single OLAP cube using AWM (5 measures and 3 dimensions).
2. Created new OBIEE metadata repository using BI Administrator.
3. Exported CUBE metadata to OBIEE Administrator using OBIEE Plug-in for AWM.
4. Saved the new repository after checking for global consistency.
5. Uploaded the new repository to BI server using BI Enterprise Manager (http://localhost:7001/em).
6. Restarting all BI services from Enterprise Manager for repository changes to take effect.
7. Create a new user using Weblogic Console in Security Realm 'myRealm' and assigning it to group 'BIConsumers' using (http://localhost:7001/console).
8. Logging into BI Analytics as new user using (http://localhost:9704/analytics)
But for some reason, the cube is still not showing up under the 'Subject Area Contents'. Am I missing any step in between?
My platform is as folllows:
- Oracle Business Intelligence EE v. 11.1.1.3.0
- AWM 11.1.0.7.0B
- Windows 2008 Server (32-bit)
Any assistance will be appreciated.

Firefox not showing multiple subject areas for OBIEE source

Creating a new data set using the Oracle BI EE source. The dropdown list of subject areas won't drop down in Firefox, so I can't select any subject area other than the first one. It works properly in IE.
Anybody else noticed this?
OBIEE 11.1.1.6.9 with Firefox 18.0.2 or 21.0.

You should try both Complex folders as well as custom folders and see which gives you better performance. Discoverer SQL optimizations for example apply only on Complex folders and not on simple folders.
If you define the joins between the two tables, you can still use items from them in your Discoverer report without having to create a complex folder on them.
And finally, you can always create a view or materialized view and use that MV in your Discoverer query.

Creating subject area in OBIEE 11.1.1

Hi,
Could anybody tell me which tools I have to use in order to create a subject area for using it in the OBIEE 11.1.1 ?
I have searched a little bit through the Internet & Oracle documentations and it looks like I could use Oracle Essbase, Oracle Datawarehouse Builder and Datawarehouse Admin Console (using the Informatica PowerCenter Server) ... it looks very difficult to me ...
Thanks.

I think my problem would be fixed if I can get Oracle Business Intelligence Administration Tool running.
Could you tell me from where I could download Oracle Business Intelligence Administration Tool ? I didn't find it for OBIEE 11.1.1 :(
Thanks.
