One big report, multiple views

is it ok (as a good practice) in OBIEE Answers, when dealing with a complex BM, to build a big report with lots of dimensions and measures involved , and then create many views for that report, each using a limited number of dimensions / measures available in the report ?
I have experienced a few cases when a complex report with multiple views displays incorrect results , while if creating simpler reports for each of the views the results are correct.
and that seems to me because, on each of the small simple reports a correct sql query is generated, while on the big report OBIEE tries to achieve the requirements using just one or two much more complex (and with lower granularity) queries ( the result of which are are used by presentation layer to further compute -sometimes incorrectly- the values for each of the report views).
sometimes even when I exclude a dimension column from all views (while is still present in the report) the sql query generated still use it.
is this a normal behavior ? have anyone experienced similar issues ? I'm having some hard time explaining these to the users that create reports.
thank you.

Couldn't find anything in the documentation to support that , though. How to explain this to the report writers ? many times it is more convenient to them to just create a big report with lots of views...instead of many reports.

Passing one parameter to multiple views

Is this possible? I would like to pass one parameter, a date field, to multiple views. I cannot use it in the record selection, because my views do a mathematical computation which returns a single value, but I only want to select the data for a single day.
The problem is that there are several views and I do not want to have to enter the date parameter a dozen times.

Try to use add command and write the query like this
select * from view where datefield={?date}
also create another add command for the other view
select * from view2 where datefield2={?date}
for all the queries create the same parameter with the name {?date}

One Entity with multiple views

Hi,
My Jdev : 11.1.2.3.0
I created entity like EmployeeEO and views like EmployeeView1, EmployeeView2, EmployeeView3 and EmployeeView4.(Single entity but multiple views).
my requirement is how to use these views as panelTabed in 4 different tabs..
issue :
=====
If i create single row in the first tabs EmployeeView1, but other tabs views also automatically created the row. How to avoid that.
Thanks,

One master library - multiple views

how do you put all household cd's into one iTunes library (on one pc) then create mutliple views - for example, mom, dad, kid A, kid B, kid C.. allows each family member to sync their iPod to their own music library (a subset of the whole thing).
can do?
no can do?

What you need it you want to replicate the iTunes from the master library, is to copy the entire contents of the iTunes folder without the iTunes music folder (Presumably you have the iTunes Music folder on the shared drive now.)
If the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes folder is empty you could simply copy it to the shared folder and then - after you have installed iTunes in each account and set the location of the iTunes Music folder in preferences, but before adding anything to the library, drag the iTunes folder out the Music folder in the new account and replace it with a copy of the one from the shared drive.
That should mean that each account will start the same as the master account but can be modified by each user as they wish, after that.
I hope all that made sense.

Dataflow to one attribute from multiple views doesn't work

I have an oracle database, of which I use two tables. Each table has its own view in the meta directory.
The first view contains a table which consists of a uid generated by another system and three other non-important columns. This uid is the only column I need, this should be the naming (rdn) for use with my directory entries.
The second view contains almost all the other data, such as adresses, (full) names, mail etc.
I've configured the first view with a join rule, dn mapping rule and attribute flow rule to sync a new entry from my oracle database view 1 to the metaview.
Point is that at that time I'm missing information such as givenName, sn, cn etc. As those are required by the objectClass, I configured my attribute flow rule to also flow het uid from database into them.
So that's that. I've got my new entry with the uid I want.
The second view is configured with an attribute flow rule and a join rule so it matches the entry created by the rules above.
Here's the thing: any attribute (such as mail facsimiletelephonenumber, etc) configured in my attribute flow rule from view 2 is synched to the metaview entry, except for those attributes that already are flown from view1.
No matter what attribute I try, for instance givenName, no attribute is never overwritten with a suitable value from my oracle database view 2. It still has the value of uid from my view 1.
Is there a way to fix this or am I missing some settings here? I've fiddled around a bit with the options in the capabilities and configuration tabs with very little success.

AFter some experimentation, discovered the following:
Go to Quiz > Quiz Preferences. Under Settings, there is a
"Allow user to review quiz" check box. Under Pass or Fail, there is
an "Infinite attempts" check box. I had both of these unselected.
Here's what happens when you select or deselect one or both:
Review + 1 attempt: User starts to answer questions, and then
backs up. User can go forward again. Answered questions still
display the answers. Once reaches unanswered questions, they are
now locked.
Review + Infinite: User starts to answer questions, and then
backs up. User can go forward again. All answers to questions
erased and user can answer all questions.
No Review + 1 attempt: User starts to answer questions, and
then backs up. User can't go forward again. (This was the situation
encountered.)
No Review + Infinite: Same as Review + Infinite.

Big reports and errors

I have to genarate realy big reports (10 MB or greater) using WebServices as data
sources
Is there any way of generating this report in parts and then marge this parts
in one big report?
If something fails (for example problems with network connection) I don't want
to start all from begining, and I want to use same partial results of previous
report genaration
thanks for help

In the current release of LD, if part of the query fails, the whole query fails.
If you want to have the pieces individually, you will need to write individual
XQueries for each part. You can create one result by assembling the parts in an
XQuery that takes each of the parts as a Complex Parameter Type.

One Big Ol' Report

Ok Here Goes
Here's my scenario - I have built several separate reports, and all have conditions on them so they only show based on a variable. They are matrix reports:
EX:
--Report 1 where PRODUCT CATEGORY = 'SHIRTS'
(SHIRTS)
PRODUCT          ATT1   ATT2   ATT3    ATT4
Cotton T-Shirt   Blue   Large Cotton Pre-Shrunk
--Report 2 where PRODUCT CATEGORY = 'SHOES'
(SHOES)
PRODUCT     PRODUCT SUBCAT     ATT1      ATT2     ATT3
Boots       INDUSTRIAL         12 Hole    Y        NI have a list (shown as tabs) across the top of the page and the user can view any of the reports for that category. The list just sets the category variable. I did this because each report has a different set of descriptive criteria to show. Shoes show the number of eyelets and whether they are designated as safety shoes, but that wouldn't make sense in the context of shirts.
My question is not about how to do the matrix reports, but rather how to get all of these report sections into one page and allow the entire set of pages to be downloaded to a PDF. Currently each small report can be downloaded to a PDF, but not the entire thing. Problem is I really can't do a union in the query because the number of columns I need are different, and the titles are dynamic.
So does anyone have an idea (short of using Oracle Reports) to get multiple separate report regions to print to one big PDF?
- 405 -

Why do you hide yourself behind a number? That's actually not nice and fair. And then,
you expect the others to help you with such a big thing.
I don't know much about .pdf, allthough I think it would work there as well - with some
HTML => XHTML => XSLT Stylesheet => XLS-FO to => PDF... conversions using FOP.
However, to get this into an excel file would be a piece of cake.

How to run multiple sqls in one jasper report

Hello!
Is there any one that can help me in integrating/ viewing my xml file to the web. I have my GUI in jsp format, the jsp makes a call to the bean class and then finally bean class hit my reports java class.The report java class generates the report and shows it in the new window.
The problem is with writing mutiple sql queries and showing the result from multiple sql queires in one report.
I do not know how to write multiple queries for just 1 report. I can give a simple example of my problem also.
My report is as follows:
First Name Middle Name Last name
Sandeep Pathak
Now First and Middle Name come from 1st sql query and Last Name comes from 2nd sql query.
I want to join the result obtained from both the sql queries in one Jasper Report (not as 2 separate sections but as one section).
My problem is how to view my report in the web. furthermore, how to make complex query in jasperassistant, like multiple table in one query, because i�m integrating multiple query in one form or sheets of paper.
Please help me in this.
Thanks

Hi Sheldon,
we never have issues when we combine standard objects, like a cliear with a load inforprovider, or the master data integration you mentioned in your document. However, from the moment we combine a script logic with a standard package (like a move) it does not work .The data package contains the task needed for the script and for the move. the process chain is called up but always comes in error in the first step (BPC modify dynamically ) ... there is also no log when checking the view status ...
I can sent you some screenshots if you like ...

Load multiple views in one server call

Hello,
We are developing SAPUI5 application with Master & Detail page pattern. On detail page, we have 7 tabs so to make it more manageable we have created 7 different views, one for each tab instead of writing all the code in one view. And one extra view which hold the tab and 7 views.
Now code is easy to maintain as we can go to specific view and do the changes instead of searching in one big view. But there is a new problem now, it take lot of time to load the detail section. It makes separate server call to load each view. Earlier it was loading detail section with one server round trip but now it is making 8 server round trips ( one for every view ).
So the question is, is there any way to load multiple views in single server trip?
Regards,
Vikram

You can do so but then at the time of defining the viewset you need to ensure the rowspan and colspan correctly to fit the first and the second view. More over the configuration also needs to be maintained correctly.

How to use one query against multiple table and recieve one report?

I have duplicate tables, (except for their names of course) with commodities prices. They have the same column headings, but the data is different of course. I have a query that gives me a certain piece of information I am looking for but now I need to run this query against every table. I will do this every day as well, to see if the buying criteria is met. There are alot of tables though (256). Is there a way to say run query in all tables and return the results in one place? Thanks for your help.

hey
a. the all 256 tables whuld be one big partitoned table
b. you can use all_tables in order to write a select that will write the report for you:
SQL> set head off
SQL> select 'select * from (' from dual
2 union all
3 select 'select count(*) from ' || table_name || ' union all ' from a
4 where table_name like 'DB%' AND ROWNUM <= 3
5 union all
6 select ')' from dual;
select * from (
select count(*) from DBMS_LOCK_ALLOCATED union all
select count(*) from DBMS_ALERT_INFO union all
select count(*) from DBMS_UPG_LOG$ union all
remove the last 'union all', and tun the generated quary -
SQL> set head on
SQL> select * from (
2 select count(*) from DBMS_LOCK_ALLOCATED union all
3 select count(*) from DBMS_ALERT_INFO union all
4 select count(*) from DBMS_UPG_LOG$
5 );
COUNT(*)
         0
         0
         0

How do i access multiple bex queries in one crystal reports??

Hello Experts,
I have 10 cubes and 30 bex queries on it and i need to create 3 final crystal reports on these 30 queries.
I am on BI 4.0 & CR 2011. but my client is not on correct SAP patch ie., he is on 15+ but he must be on 23+ to access multiple bex queries on CR 2011 Database expert. (I am unable to see bex queries in Database expert to link couple of bex queries)
And my client env doesnt have SAP EP for SAP BW Netweaver Connection to create a connection to access cubes or queries in IDT.
Do my client env need EP? so that SAP BICS Connection will work in IDT?
How do i approach to achive this...
Thank you...

Hi,
have you checked the option "allow external access" in your query? SAP Toolbar will find all queries but the database export needs this flag to be set.
Using multiple queries within one crystal report is using the "multi database join feature" of crystal reports. You can link your queries by key fields and crystal will join them in memory. So when there are many queries or many datarows this can be a huge performance killer.
Actuallly one of our customers is running a report which has more than 20 BEx queries linked together. It runs just fine.
Please be sure to set your joins correctly. E.g. crystal will try to make a join on the "key figures" sturcture if you let it create a suggestion or it will try to link on all fields of an infoobject. This will bring MDX errors.
So you should be setting your joins correctly - the [infoobject]-[20infoobject] fields are fine for that.
I hope you can use some of my words.
Regards
Thorsten

Multiple Reports inside one Single Report

Post Author: maximus85
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi....I'm having this problem of having multiple reports inside one single report. Basically what i wanted to built is a Dashboard that contains 4 main subjects:i)Sales - Contains graph that can be drill down for further detailsii)Internal Process - Contains tables that can be drill downiii)Profit/Lossiv)HRAs far as i know, since all four are of different fact table data, they cannot be all thrown inside one single report to be built on. So i came out with using subreports instead for each components and then finally putting them all together as subreport inside the main report(Dashboard).However, i just realized that by doing that, whenever i clicked on the reports that i wanted to drill down with, it will prompt that particular report that i clicked into a new page, and then from there only i can perform drill down.Is there anyway to enable me to straight away drill down the Sales and Internal Process reports from the main reports(Dashboard) instead of having to click twice as that will be unnecessary right?Or mayb if there's another better ways to do what I have to do? Please do advise and suggest......Thanks alot.......

hi chack,
doesnt matter or preferrably both, as long as i can export all the reports in 1 page into 1 excel, or 1 pdf.

Possible to have multiple views for one scene?

Away3D allows multiple Views to be created for one Scene, allowing different camera positions for the same geometry.
Can Proscenium support this? I've been banging my head against a brick wall for a while now...
Joe

Hi Kopaacabana,
(I feel like I'm in one of those post-apocalyptic scenes where the last two humans left on earth finally meet.....)
Thanks for answering!
Yes, I've actually got two cameras quite happily working in the scene, the problem is that I need to re-use the geometry for the scene in two windows, or at least, two separate parts of one window simultaneously. Away3D can do it very easily, where one sets up a 'View', which has a 'Scene' it views. With Proscenium it seems that the whole thing is tied up with an Instance3D, which is fine for one camera, but the scene nodes seem tied up as children of some root scene node. I've tried assigning the scene data as a child of two instances of BasicScene (hacking the stage3ds[number] to be different for each), but that causes an exception.
Just changing the activeCamera changes the view to the new camera, where I actually need to be able to render to two windows/screen areas from one set of geometry.
I would have hoped that the paradigm would have been 'here is some geometry, lights, etc., now do with it what you will'
Adobe, are you there to help us out, like, anyone at all? Are we wasting our time with this?
Joe
