Problem in refreshing the data in OBIEE answers?

Hi,
My report doesn't show the latest data in the database. I tried restarting my BI server and Presentation server also. But it is still showing the old data only. But in Admin tool im able to view the latest data. What could be the reason for this? Wont the refresh button given at the bottom of the report refresh the data?
Thanks,
Karthick

Hi,
If you want to use the cache and you have a regular load of data into your source for OBIEE, then you just need to ensure that the cache is cleared after your load. There is an ODBC command which will clear it:
Call SAPurgeAllCache();
You can put this in a sql file and then call it from a .cmd file:
nqcmd -d "AnalyticsWeb" -u Administrator -p <password> -s D:\OracleBI\server\Scripts\Common\purge_cache.sql -o D:\OracleBI\server\Scripts\Common\purge_cache.out
When you run this .cmd file it will clear the cache, this could then be caled from another tool, i.e. an Informatica workflow. All above is based on using a windows machine to connect and run the command.
If your data is changing all the time and you just don't want caching on then just turn it off in nqsconfig.ini, change:
ENABLE = YES;
To
ENABLE = No;
in the cache section.

Matt

Problem in refreshing the data of the UI element Table

Hi Experts,
I am having a problem.
I have a screen which displays list of variants in table ( variant name , variant desc )
I am binding the entries of table in WDDOINIT method.
but when i go back to selection screen view and come back to display variants view, WDDOINIT is not triggering.
Now if i move the code written in WDDOINIT method to WDDOMODIFYVIEW method, its not retaining the lead selection as the binding happens on every server round trip. if i check with First_time = 'X'. its same as that of having it in WDDOINIT method.
How do i overcome this problem of refreshing the table data.
any clue is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Ajay

hi Ajay ,
create a custom controller for this and when u want to move from selection screen view to display variant ,
call method of this custom controller
DATA lo_edit TYPE REF TO ig_edit .
lo_edit = wd_this->get_edit_ctr( ).
lo_edit->edit1(
here I am calling the edit1 method of my custom controller named EDIT.
try to move code of ur WDDOINIT here.
it shud help

Problem in refreshing the data in Xcelsius

Hi,
I have added a refresh button in my dashboard to refresh the data from the BOE , but ones i click that button it ask for user authentication and ones i enter that and click ok nothing happens , the data is not getting refreshed.
In second case i made my data connection as refresh on load so as soon i launch my dashboard it ask for user authentication and after entering that details nothing happens and i am not able to see the data and even if i enter wrong details in the pop up window it does not gives any error message for wrong credentials.
Earlier i was getting the error like #2032 , #2017 so i maintained the crossdomail.xml file in web server it was resolved.
But i am not able to refresh the data nor i am getting any error message kindly suggest !!
Regards,
Mishra,Vibhav

Dear Ingo,
Thanks for replying.
Step 1 : I have used a excel sheet using the live office connection and using the existing CR report from the BOE.
Step 2 : Then i have published that excel sheet in BOE
Step 3 : I have imported that spreadsheet in the Xcelsius and created a dashboard on top of that.
Step 4 : I have added a refresh button on the dashboard which is used to refresh the live office connection and the session URL that i have maintained is http://XXXC043A:8080/dswsbobje/services/session . i am not using the refresh on load option.
Step 4 : When i preview the dashboard with the preview button available in the Xcelsius i can see the dashboard with the existing data but ones i click the Connection refresh button a user authentication window pop up which ask for the system name user id and pwd and Authentication type . I used the Enterprise authentication for that but ones i submit the credential nothing happens even if i enter the wrong information no error message is prompted.
Thanks in advance .

Problem while refreshing the data for the second time using excel services in sharepoint 2013...

Hi,
I have migrated my Sharepoint from 2010 to 2013.I am able to get the data at the first time of refresh when I click on refresh for the second time I am getting the empty the sheet.
below find the flow of refresh
First Refresh
On Click of refresh open the workbook with excel services and return the session id.
Using that session I am invoking RefrehAsync method of excel services
After refresh completed I am setting the calculation of workbook as automatic(to calculate the formulas) using the same session id
After setting the calculation as Automatic I am setting the calculation type as full(recalculate) using the same session id.
Now I am able to see the data
Second Refresh
After clicking on refresh instead of opening the workbook I am using the session id(already opened workbook) and setting the calculation type as manual
I am following the same process from refresh(RefreshAsync) as I have followed in first refresh.
This time my formulas are not getting calculated because of that I am not able to see the data.
Could you please let me know that am I missing anything here?
Is this know issue in Sharepoint2013 excel services as same code is working fine with Sharepoint2010.
If I close the workbook(session id null) and opens(new session id) for all the refreshes it is working and I am able to see the data.
Thanks,
Meenakshi Nagpal
N.Meenakshi

I am able to see the data for the second refresh if I change the data source.If I use the same data source which is used in the first refresh I am not getting the data.Excel services will contact the cubes and calculate the formulas in my workbook.
Could you please let me know what could be the problem at second refresh while contacting the same data source with same session id?
Please help me asap.
Thanks,

Problem with Refreshing the data bound text fields

Folks,
First of all, this a GREAT product and I am moving my apps from Eclipse to Studio Creator. I am very impessed with it so far.
I am gone through most tutorials, but can't help resolve the problem that I am having. I have a page, that lists all the users in a table. When you click on any user, it opens up another page that lists the detail of the specific user you have clicked on. This a typical use in most web applications, right?
In the user detail page, I open it in "Read" only mode, by setting the "setReadOnly" to true for all text field components. Then users can edit it by clicking "Edit" button. Edit button just changes the "setReadOnly" to false, to allow editing. After editing, they can hit the "Save" button to save the changes. In the save button, I call this code:
public void prerender() {
        try {
            userID=getSessionBean1().getUserID();
            getSessionBean1().getWeb_userRowSetUserDetail().setObject(1,userID);
            getWeb_userDataProviderUserDetail().refresh();
            info("prerender: Refresh called");
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            error("Error in userForm.prerender():"+ex.getMessage()+ex.getStackTrace());
            log("Error in userForm.prerender():", ex);
        setReadWrite();
public String btnSave_action() {
        try {
            getWeb_userDataProviderUserDetail().commitChanges();
            getWeb_userDataProviderUserDetail().refresh();
            info("Data Provider Refreshed in SAVE");
            _readOnly=true;
            form1.discardSubmittedValues("saveVForm");
            info("User Updated New:"+userID);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            log("Error Description", ex);
        return null;
    public String btnEdit_action() {
        try {
            _readOnly=false;
            //info("User ID Edt="+getSessionBean1().getUserID());
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            error("Error in userForm.btnEdit_action:"+ex.getMessage()+ex.getStackTrace());
            log("Error in userForm.btnEdit_action():", ex);
        return null;
    private void setReadWrite(){
        // Set read-only to true or false for all text fiels
        this.btnEdit.setVisible(_readOnly);
        this.btnSave.setVisible(!_readOnly);
        this.user_id.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_email_client.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_email_office.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_fname.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_lname.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_id.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_password.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_password_conf.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_phone_cell.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_phone_cell_aac.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_phone_client.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_phone_home.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        this.user_phone_office.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
    }When the save button is clicked, the database is updated (as I can verify by looking directly into the database), but the data-bound text fields do not display the new value. YES, I am calling refresh() on data provider? I tried to call refresh in both "preRender()" and "Save" button action event, but that did not help either.
Please note that the save button also changes the "setReadOnly" back to TRUE for all text fields. That means, users view the page in Read-Only mode after saving. (They have to click on "Edit" button again to edit it). I discovered that if I do not set the text field components in "ReadOnly" mode, then they display the updated value of the fields. But if I change setReadOnly to TRUE, then they display the old values (before the save).
Any idea what I am doing wrong here?
Thanks

Here is my experience with it. I have three text
boxes to be filled out. They are part of a virtual
form with an add button as the submit. You can fill
out the 3 and add them and a node is added to a tree
component. When you click on a node in the tree
component (the submit to another virtual form that
the 3 buttons participate in) the text fields should
be loaded with the values that they where added with.Hard to tell from this explanation, but if the text fields do not participate in a virtual form, then they are not going to get updated when an action in the virtual form happens. Not sure this is your problem. Like I say, hard to tell from this explanation.
They will not display the values though...having
nothing to do with read only. If I disable them
before hand...they display the updated values. If I
set their value at the top or bottom of prerender,
they display the change...if I set the value in an if
conditional that is hit (I have checked many times)
in prerender, they will not display the values. If I
set them in the tree handler anywhere, they will not
display the values. This is very frustrating and is
wasting tons of my time...I simply want to load the
text fields based on the tree node that was
clicked...I have messed with this for hours and it
certainly does not work.Well, setting them in the tree handler won't work because the tree handler gets called in the page instance that handles the submit and not the page instance that renders the response.
Posting your prerender code might help. Also, your action handler.

Problem in refreshing ALV data in container (OOALV)

Hello Experts, Good Day.
I am developing a Modulepool program which is having two screens, one (101) is for Entering data (used TC with wizard) then saves it in database table and another screen (102) is to display saved data. Now I am facing problem in second screen (102).
The problem I am facing is when I am displaying/calling 102 screen for multiple times, the internal table is getting updated but the previous ALV data is not getting updated/modified.
I have searched the forum and found some methods/procedures for refreshing the data but I am not able to achieve this.
Methods I found and Problems with them:
1. FREE the Container and Grid objects usng FREE( ) method.
If I free boht the Container and Grid objects data getting updated but another all the columns are getting displayed twice for second time, thrice for third time and so on... I have coded for this in PBO of 102 Screen.
If I Free only Grid object, totally the table is getting disappeared when I display ALV Second time.
2. When I use Refresh the table using CALL METHOD LR_GRID->REFRESH_TABLE_DISPLAY( ) then only second time the ALV is getting refreshed but if I display further it is displaying 2nd ALV data from 3rd time onwards (not getting updated from 3rd time).
Coded as below in PBO OF 102 Screen:
IF LR_GRID IS BOUND.
   CALL METHOD LR_GRID->REFRESH_TABLE_DISPLAY( ).
ENDIF.
   CREATE OBJECT LR_GRID
     EXPORTING
       I_PARENT          = LR_CONT

               WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
   ENDIF.
3. When I use FLUSH method: this is not at all working out, I have called this after displaying ALV in PBO.
    CALL METHOD CL_GUI_CFW=>FLUSH( ).
    CALL METHOD CL_GUI_CFW=>DISPATCH( ).
My code to display ALV which is written in PBO of 102 is attached, please find the attachment.
Experts, please let me know where I am going wrong. I wish to know the solution in all the above ways. Please help me.
Thanks & Regards,
Vijay

[Solved] Problem in refreshing the iterators

Hi All -
I am facing problem in refreshing the iterators on the page / retaining the values in the view when refreshing the region (a task flow dropped as region).
I have two ShowDetailItems in tabbed regions as Tab1 and Tab2. Tab1 has a task flow, having page with Transient VOs, as region and same
is the case with Tab2. As per my requirement I have to navigate between Tabs and have to refresh the regions in the Tabs through bean as below.
this.homeRegion.refresh(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance());
But in doing so i.e. navigating from Tab1 to Tab2 and coming back to Tab1, I lose the data in the Tab1.
The problem is my bean associated with the page of the task flow in Tab1 does not get called when I refresh the
region. And also the iterators lose their values when I come back to TAb1.
I thought if I could reload the page or execute the iterators somehow when I refresh the region in the Tab, I would be able
to fix the issue.
Please help. I have been trying to figure it out for quite some time.
Best -
Rohit
Edited by: Rohit Makkad on May 13, 2010 12:52 AM

Hi All -
I somehow overcame the issue. In my Tab2 region task flow I had set Transaction property as "Always Begin New Transaction" because of which when I go to the Tab2 the Tab1 was losing its values in the transient VO.
For now, I reset the Transaction property of Tab2 to its default value and could navigate between different tabs with refreshing them everytime on disclosure event and still able to retain values in the transient VO.

Refreshing the Data Source View in Analysis Services

I have added columns to the SQL Database table that is used as a dimension in an Analysis Services Cube. The new columns will be used as additional Property Fields for the dimension. When I attempted to refresh the Data Source view so that the additional columns are present, I am given the following error:
System.Data
Property not accessible because 'Parent Columns and Child Columns don't have type-matching columns'
I have done nothing to the columns used for the parent of child and the error message provides nothing to gon on. Does anyone have any ideas on this?
Gary

Olga,
Thanks for your response. I will try and answer your questions
1) I have not tried removing the columns yet. I will try that this afternoon but have limited hope. The two columns I added are simple text columns that will be used as attributes in the dimension. I have made no change to the parent or child columns.
2) The table I modified is the source table for a parent-child dimension.
3) The reference to the "check list" does not take me to any kind of check list.
4) The parent-child dimensions I am trying to modify have been in use for months and the parent and child columns do have the dame data types.
5) I have also check the data types between the dimension table and the fact table. they use the same data types (small int).
6) I have not made a collection for the parent key, it is a single column. The remainder of your last paragraph is not clear to me. Can you give me an example.
I am fairly inexperienced with Analysis Services, please talk slow and use small words :-)
Thanks again for your help!
Gary

How to refresh the data in published HTML?

Hi All,
I have created a Process Engineering diagram, whcih represents flow of material from Equipment to another equipment.
I have binded the diagram to data from the data base and saved/published as HTML to view it in browser. So far it is fine.
But the next step is: What happens when the data changes in the data base? The generated HTML became just a static diagram which is of not much use. If i want to refresh the data, then I need to publish again !!
Is there a way to make service calls from HTML and update the data dynamically in HTML display?
Note: I am using VISIO 2013 Professional edition
Venkat

Hi,
If we had saved/published Visiso drawing as HTML file, we could not refresh the data source to control the HTML data directly. We need to re-publish, I think you do not want to do it.
Thus, I recommend you use JavaScript or coding to invoke and refresh the background database when you modified it.
The following artile may also help you:

If you have any question related to Programming/Code, post in HTML forums for further assistance.

Problem while exporting the data from a report to an excel file.

Hi SAP guru's,
I have a problem while exporting the data from a report to an excel file.
The problem is that after exporting, the excel file seems to have some irrelevant characters....I am checking this using SOST transaction..
Required text (Russian):
Операции по счету
№ документа     Тип документа     № учетной записи     Дата документа     Валюта     Сумма, вкл. НДС     Срок оплаты     Описание документа
Current Text :

Can you help me making configuration settings if any?

Hi Avinash
To download such characteres you need to adjust code page to be used during export. You can review SAP note 73606 to identify which code page is required for this language

Dynamic Calc processor cannot lock more than [100] ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry(a small data cache setting could also cause this problem, please check the data cache size setting).

Hi,
Our Environment is Essbase 11.1.2.2 and working on Essbase EAS and Shared Services components.One of our user tried to run the Cal Script of one Application and faced this error.
Dynamic Calc processor cannot lock more than [100] ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry(a small data cache setting could also cause this problem, please check the data cache size setting).
I have done some Google and found that we need to add something in Essbase.cfg file like below.
1012704 Dynamic Calc processor cannot lock more than number ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry (a small data cache setting could also cause this problem, please check the data cache size setting).
Possible Problems
Analytic Services could not lock enough blocks to perform the calculation.
Possible Solutions
Increase the number of blocks that Analytic Services can allocate for a calculation:
Set the maximum number of blocks that Analytic Services can allocate to at least 500.
If you do not have an $ARBORPATH/bin/essbase.cfg file on the server computer, create one using a text editor.
In the essbase.cfg file on the server computer, set CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH to 500.
Stop and restart Analytic Server.
Add the SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH command to the beginning of the calculation script.
Set the data cache large enough to hold all the blocks specified in the CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH setting.
Determine the block size.
Set the data catche size.
Actually in our Server Config file(essbase.cfg) we dont have below data added.
CalcLockBlockHigh 2000
CalcLockBlockDefault 200
CalcLockBlocklow 50
So my doubt is if we edit the Essbase.cfg file and add the above settings and restart the services will it work? and if so why should we change the Server config file if the problem is with one application Cal Script. Please guide me how to proceed.
Regards,
Naveen

Your calculation needs to hold more blocks in memory than your current set up allows.
From the docs (quoting so I don't have to write it, not to be a smarta***:
CALCLOCKBLOCK specifies the number of blocks that can be fixed at each level of the SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH | DEFAULT | LOW calculation script command.
When a block is calculated, Essbase fixes (gets addressability to) the block along with the blocks containing its children. Essbase calculates the block and then releases it along with the blocks containing its children. By default, Essbase allows up to 100 blocks to be fixed concurrently when calculating a block. This is sufficient for most database calculations. However, you may want to set a number higher than 100 if you are consolidating very large numbers of children in a formula calculation. This ensures that Essbase can fix all the required blocks when calculating a data block and that performance will not be impaired.
Example
If the essbase.cfg file contains the following settings:
CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH 500 CALCLOCKBLOCKDEFAULT 200 CALCLOCKBLOCKLOW 50
then you can use the following SET LOCKBLOCK setting commands in a calculation script:
SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH;
means that Essbase can fix up to 500 data blocks when calculating one block.
Support doc is saying to change your config file so those settings can be made available for any calc script to use.
On a side note, if this was working previously and now isn't then it is worth investigating if this is simply due to standard growth or a recent change that has made an unexpected significant impact.

How to avoid the split problem when uploading the data from csv file

Dear Friends,
              I have to upload data from the .csv file to my custom table , i have found a problem when uploading the data .
i am using the code as below , please suggest me what i have to do in this regard
      SPLIT wa_raw_csv AT ',' INTO
                wa_empdata_csv-status
                 wa_empdata_csv-userid
                 wa_empdata_csv-username
                 wa_empdata_csv-Title
                 wa_empdata_csv-department.
APPEND wa_empdata_csv TO itab.
in the flat file i can see for one of the record for the field Title as
Director, Finance - NAR............there by through my code the wa_empdata_csv-Title is getting splited data as "Director, and Department field is getting Finance - NAR" , i can see that even though " Director, Finance - NAR" is one word it is getting split .
.......which is the problem iam facing.Please could any body let me know how in this case i should handle in my code that this word
"Director,Finance - NAR"   wil not be split into two words.
Thanks & Records
Madhuri

Hi Madhuri,
Best way to avoid such problem is to use TAB delimited file instead of comma separated data. Generally TAB does not appear in data.
If you are generating the file, use tab instead of comma.
If you cannot modify the format of file and data length in file is fixed character, you will need to define the structure and then move data in fixed length structure.

Facing a Problem while downloading the data from ALV Grid to Excel Sheet

Hi Friends,
Iam facing a problem while downloading the data from ALV Grid to excel sheet. This is working fine in Development server , when comes to Quality and Production servers I have this trouble.
   I have nearly 11 fields in ALV Grid and out of which one is PO number of length 10 , all the ten numbers are visible in the excel sheet if we download it from development server but when we download it from Quality or Production it is showing only 9 numbers.
Can any one help me out in this case.

hi...
if this problems happens dont display the same internal as u finally got.
just create new internal table without calling any standard data elements and domains... but the new internal table s similar like ur final internal table and move all the values to new int table.
for eg.
ur final internal int table for disp,
     data : begin of itab occur 0,
                    matnr like mara-matnr,
               end of itab.
create new like this,
           data : begin of itab occur 0,
                    matnr(12) type N,
               end of itab.

Need to refresh the data

Hi
I am using Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.4.0 - Production
I need to refresh the data in test box with the production database.
I dont have the dblink. Please advise me the fastest method to refresh the data in test server.
Regards,
Ravi

What do you mean by "I dont have the dblink" ? That you do not have access to the database ? OR that you do not have access to documentation on how to refresh a database ?
If you need to refresh a schema alone, you could use Export-Import. If you need to refresh the whole database, I would advice using Backup and Restore -- either using scripted backups or RMAN.
Note : If the application has setup tables that store database name, node name, port number etc, you will need to update those tables in the refreshed database (else they will still point to the production database !).
You can access the 8.1.7 documentation from http://tahiti.oracle.com

Refreshing the Data from a embed view in a view container

Hi everybody
I would like to know how can I do to refresh all data from a View with a view container the problem is:
that I have a window that has a view at the same time this has a view container. The Main view brings the data of editable elements when I select one element of the main view the view container brings a list for that element (dependencies) but only the first time a choose an element loads the correct data, when I choose another one it brings the same old data and doesn't make the call for the wdDoInit() method.
The question is:
How do I force the view to refresh all the data or call again the wdDoInit() method?
Thank you for your help

Aida,
Lets say you have two components C1 and C2 and you want method from C1 to be available in C2 then follow these steps:-
1) Goto the Interface Controller of C1 and create a method there lets say doSomething
2) Then goto C2. There you can see Used Web Dynpro Components --> Right click Add Used Component --> Give some name say C1Comp --> Click browse and select C1 --> Click Finish.
3) Next goto Component Controller of C2 --> Properties --> Click Add and check if C1 is added. If not then select the checkbox and select OK.
4) Now goto Implementation tab of C2 and lets say wdDoInit you can write following code:-
wdThis.wdGetC1CompInterface().doSomething();
