UPDATED POST
From developer perspective it is completely different tools the look and feel and the mode of working and we should have prior knowledge on any of the tool to put hands on to work.
hope answered.

    Hi Guys -- Am finally able to install OBIEE11g...
    Provided in the link were the pre-requisites that you need to make 100% sure for windows 7 64 bit install.
    http://oraclebi.blog.com/obiee-11-1-1-6-installation/
    Coming to the Issues I made...
    For Enterprise Edition Installation (Option 2 in the graphical user interface installation screen)*
    1.) I had "jdk1.7.0_10" installed in "C:\Java" folder.
    When trying to install OBIEE 11.1 it install weblogic version "10.3.5" as this is not compatible with "jdk1.7.0_10" had Issues.
    For Software Only Install*
    1.) I had to download and install "wls1036_generic.jar" from OTN.
    You need to make sure that you install it by following the below steps but not just by double clicking it... because it is doing a kind of 32 bit installation when double clicking (yaa that's strange) even though you were expecting an 64 bit.
    a.) open command prompt
    b.) go to the folder where "java -jar wls1036_generic.jar" was installed
    c.) Then run "java -jar wls1036_generic.jar"
    Other Issues*
    1.) Turn off Windows fire wall during Installation.
    2.) Uninstall Antivirus
    Not sure about the credibility of the above two points, came across some websites am tired of trying all the options and at one point.. I turned them off and never turned them back on...
    Source*:::: Various Websites based on the different errors and mix matching the Info, trying different options to solve an error/Issue.
    Hope this is helpful to someone..... I Still say the Installation is not as straight forward as other BI Tools in the market.

  • OBIEE 11g: Chart showing Hand Symbol on Over

    Hi All,
    We've an issue with Chart.
    Chart is currently showing Hand symbol when over the mouse on bars(Vertical or any type of bar) though no action link/drill enabled.
    Customer doesn't want the hand symbol pointer as user thinks that there is some navigation enabled. It should be frozen and mouse pointer should be a normal pointer such that user think that there is no interaction & as frozen.
    We tried setting Value No interaction in column properties & also checked with some CSS setting cursor: pointer in column properties. But these are working for Table view but not to chart..
    I'm using OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.5)
    I also checked metalink but no use here.
    Your inputs are valid here.!

    Is there a way I can click on any of the legends and have an option to include or exclude the corresponding line from the chart?
    Not in OBIEE ...Tableau have Exlude only / Include only 

  • Error while running a KPI Watchlist in obiee 11g dashboard

    I am getting the following error while running a KPI Watchlist :
    *" Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW) "*
    I added two KPI's (KPI 1 & KPI 2)into that Watchlist , one from the default "Sample Sales Lite" (sub 1) and another from sub 2 which have essbase as data source .
    KPI 1 (created from sub 1) is working fine , but while placing KPI 2 (created from sub 2 ) in the watchlist , its throwing the above error . However , while running KPI 2 individually , its showing meaningful results .
    Let me know if the problem statement is not clear .
    OBIEE version used : 11.1.1.5.0 .

    Could anyone reply this thread. I am also getting the same error . Even server logs are also not helping.

  • OBIEE 11g - without going to Sawbridge first.....

    If you called OBIEE via the default path: http://domain-name/analytics?NQuser=xxx&NQpassword=xxxx
    instead of
    http://domain-name/analytics/saw.dll?NQzuser=xxx&NQpassword=xxxx  
    would your credentials be checked by weblogic before the default login jsp has access to the request parameters or after?
    Or does weblogic/OBIEE  stop you passing parameters to the default URL?
    What I'm trying to say is, if you go via the default domain without calling saw.dll first can you pass an encrypted password to your bespoke login.jsp (default.jsp) within the analytics domain and get this default.jsp
    to convert the password to plain text and then this default.jsp calls (forwards) to saw.dll....

    I have been trying to log in with my YouTube account name and password like usual. I just tried using my gmail log in and it works. Did they merge or something? It was working yesterday just fine without me changing the way I logged in. Either way, thanks for the help! Works great now

  • Error while creating Bi presentation service in obiee(11.1.1.3)

    Venky,
    The SOAP interface released with OBIEE 11.1.1.3 is version 6 (v6) as you can see from its WSDL URL.
    This would leave one only to believe that the SOAP interface released with OBIEE 11.1.1.5 is version 7.

  • How to embed user credentials in Secured Web Service from OBIEE 11gFMW?

    I am trying to invoke a webservice that I successfully exposed as a WSDL Web Service using EBS Integrated SOA Gateway. I am using OBIEE 11g Action Framework which uses WebLogic.
    Here are the steps I completed:
    - I exposed a WSDL web service in EBS R12 via Integrated SOA Gateway
    - I granted the access to this service in EBS R12 to user SYSADMIN
    - I used OBIEE 11g to make a Action to call the Web service (using Action Framework) by searching for the WSDL
    - When I try to execute the action: I get the error:
    Action could not be invoked.
    ServiceExecutionFailure :
    Error invoking web service HR_PHONE_API_Service at endpoint http://ip-10-87-33-3.ec2.internal:8000/webservices/SOAProvider/plsql/hr_phone_api/ Missing <wsse:Security> in SOAP Header
    PROBLEM: I am unsure how to add the credentials for SYSADMIN user and password to add the SOAP username/pwd to the outgoing call. According to the documentation in the Integrators guide, FMW Security guide, and Web Logic guides..seems we have to configure the SOAP call to have the proper credentials. The documentation is not very clear on exactly how to do this. I tried to set up the credential store and an account in ActionFrameWorkConfig.xml but I am still missing something. I am logged into OBIEE as biadmin and I am trying to call a webservie in EBS that is granted to SYSADMIN/sysadmin user. Pls advise.

  • Date Variable in Obiee 11g

    Hi All,
    I have created a dynamic repository variable that gives the current date. The date is given in the following format 'MM/DD/YYYY'. This is format that I want the date to appear in. In the presentation catalog, I have created a presentation variable dashboard promt called StartDate, that defaults to the repository variable CurrentDate. I have also created a report that has a number of measures filtered in different ways. If we take one of the measures in the report, what I have done is edited the formula to filter the measure by reported_date>Date'@{StartDate}'.
    Now when I got and see my dashboard I get an error, 'Datetime value 06/07/2011 from 06/07/2011 does not match the specified format'. However when I click 'Apply' on the prompt, the error does not appear and it just says that there is no data for this report.
    Can someone please help me solve this problem?
    Thanks,
    Nikita

    I solved this issue by using steps listed here http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/cast_as_date.

    Hi ,
    I normally do this to fix this problem
    1>Disable the network , keep the loopback adaptor enabled and then restart the services.
    2> You can enable the network after services are restarted.
    If you want a more practical solution and dont want to disable network again and again, then you would find the blog below useful.

  • OBIEE 11g: Dashboard Javascript Issue

    Hi Gurus,
    We have upgraded obiee from 10g to 11g and finding issues with javascript in a dashboard.
    Functionality: There are some custom labels showing prompt values in it with large font. When user change prompt value and Apply, it should change the value of those text as well.
    In 10g its running fine, but in 11g its not happening after we change the value of prompts. I found the following Javascript is responsible for this functionality. Even I saw one thread to suggest the exactly same code, but in 10g.
    <script type="text/javascript">
    (function(){
    var tblTag = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
    var tdElem= document.getElementsByTagName('td');
    for(m=0;m<tdElem.length;m++){
    if(tdElem[m].className=='GFPSubmit'){tdElem[m].childNodes[0].tBodies[0].rows[0].cells[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].innerHTML='Run Report';
    }//close if statement
    }//close for loop
    }// close function clickVal()
    </script>
    Thread:
    Change Go Button Text on Prompt Only
    I need to understand what its actually doing? and Does it really work in 11g? Whats the alternative code?
    Thanks in advance.

    In 10g these are the html objects, after upgrade you need to know the html objects for that report based on that you need to modify javascript code.
    From given code, activity is doing on these objects; You need to find out the equivalent object name for 'GFPSubmit' in 11g.
    GFPSubmit
    table
    td
    If make sense mark
