Problem with rank in OBIEE 11G

Hi,
I have a problem with the function rank in obiie, i have two columns the first is the id of employees, and the second is the rank of revenues of employees, when I filter one employee and the rank is always 1, someone can help me?
Cumps

I do not think this is going to be possible using a traditional filter on the query.
In order for the rank function to correctly work, it has to be aware of the other column values in the query to assign a rank to each row. When you filter the query ( either on the ID or the Rank) all of the other column values will be FILTERED OUT of the query. Rank will only see 1 value in the column, so it gets the #1.
You have 2 options here:
Selection steps: use selection steps to "keep" only the rows you are interested in. Selection steps basically allow you to"hide" some of the rows your query has returned, but still calculate against them for aggregate functions. If you are focusing on a top or bottom % this solution will work well.
If you are hell-bent on using a filter, the only way you will be able to get the rank function to work is to calculate the rank in a 2nd query, then use an outer join to attach the rank column onto your filtered employee query.

Problem with authentication in OBIEE

Hello, I have a problem with authentication in OBIEE.
A user who does not exist, enter the application and can enter but can not access almost anything, it is very rare because in addition webcatalog are created within the folder with your name and no one created it.
any ideas?

I created SR and i solved the problem.
The problem wasn´t in weblogic. We migrated rpd 10g to 11g, I had define one initialization block session in RPD, when we disabled it, it´s running fine.
Oracle recomended work in weblogic in obiee 11g

A lot of problems with Oracle BI SEE 11g

I have a lot of problems with Oracle BI SEE 11g
1. I upgraded my BI SEE 10 repository and can it openning in offline mode.
2. I can't deploy my upgraded repository in EM MW Control 11g - when i try to open Farm_bifoundation_domain->Business Intelligence->coreapplication, i get error "Stream closed
For more information, please see the server's error log for an entry beggining with: Server Exception during PPR, #41".
Opening Logs by EM control doesn't work too.
in file middleware\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\servers\AdminServer\logs\AdminServer.log i see this event:
<Error> <HTTP> <oratest.itera.ru> <AdminServer> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '0' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'> <<WLS Kernel>> <> <b639ac3e56e9a463:bd6fa7f:12ac7271e09:-8000-00000000000009e8> <1283408423378> <BEA-101019> <[ServletContext@329875093[app:em module:/em path:/em spec-version:2.5]] Servlet failed with IOException

Have you any ideas?
3. Ok, i taking sample repository and adding a new datasource in it:
Database: Oracle 8i
Connection pool:
Call interface OCI 8i/9i
Data source name:
(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (Host = oraapp) (Port = 1521) ) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = MYSID) ) )
This settings are working fine in BI 10.
In BI 11g i get this funny error: "The connection has failed". I lost my time in attempts to connect to Oracle DB 8, but have not results. After that i hacked button "Query DBMS" at "Features" tab, pressed it and when get error "ORA-03134: Connections to this server version are no longer supported.".
Therefore Oracle 8 DB as datasource not supported. Am i right?
4. In sample repository i added oracle DB 10 as datasource, then added two dual tables and their connection to all layers.
Now i open BI Answers, and trying to create report with one dummy column, Now i have this error:
Error
View Display Error
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Error Details

Database features are defaults.
Does anyone solve this problem?

Turribeach, Thanks for you time.
1. It was not a question
3. Yes, i have read platforms, but not supported datasources. Now i see, that BI 11g support as datasource Oracle DB 9.2.0.7 or higher. I am sorry.
4. I'm using OCI connection type
Now i recreate Database in Physical schema and answers is showing report data for me! But only from one table, when i use columns from to tables from one datasource, i geting error:

Need help with opatch for OBIEE 11g

I'm running into some more of Oracle's typical gibberish and poorly written documentation, and need some help patching OBIEE 11g.
I'm TRYING to follow the instructions here:
https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/Services/download?type=readme&aru=13160647
So, let's see. How about step 2:
For FMW Opatch usage, please refer the doc at :
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fmw_opatch.htm
Well, that IP address automatically redirects to the general download page:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/downloads/index.html
Nice.
So, let's try this doc:
http://docs.tpu.ru/docs/oracle/en/owl/E14571_01/doc.1111/e16793/opatch.htm#CBHDEGBJ
Section 2.3.2, "Patching a Fusion Middleware Product"
Quoting: "Once you obtain the patch, determine the Oracle home directory to which you are going to apply the patch....If you do not know the name of your Oracle home, you should run the opatch lshomes command as described in Section 2.4.6, "Listing the Applicable Oracle Homes for a Patch" to obtain a list of Oracle homes that pertain to the domain."
So let's see, I've got two OPATCH.BAT files, one in c:\mw_home1\Oracle_BI1=OPatch\, and the other in c:\mw_home1\oracle_common\OPatch\.
I open a command window, CD to one of those paths, and run opatch lshomes. I get this error:
"The Oracle Home C:\mw_home1 is not OUI based home. Please give proper Oracle Home. OPatch returns with error code = 1. OPatch failed with error code = 1"
Same results for the other opatch.bat in the other directory.
Besides the atrocious grammar, this error message is not helpful in the least. I'm trying to patch OBIEE 11g, which is installed in c:\mw_home1. What else is opatch wanting?

Yes, the error message is misleading. It should say something like "Environment variable ORALCE_HOME has not been set or set incorrectly".
Here is how I solved the problem on a Windows Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA installation. The SOA installation already comes with OPatch installed. In my case it is located in D:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1\OPatch. On a command prompt, I set the environment variable ORACLE_HOME like this
set ORACLE_HOME=D:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1
and the CLASSPATH variable like this
set classpath=
The latter prevents opatch from loading classes it does not need and throwing java.lang.ClassNotFoundException. Also notice ORACLE_HOME does not point to D:\Oracle\Middleware but D:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1. I made a mistake by setting ORACLE_HOME to D:\Oracle\Middleware kept getting:
"Recommended actions: Please make sure no other OPatch or OUI processes is running. Try to run $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/runInstsaller.
OPatch failed with error code = 20"
I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out what went wrong.

Drill through to another report with bins in OBIEE 11g

Hi Everyone,
We have a specific scenario that is as follows:
Bar chart with 3 bars: '0-30', '31-60' and 'other'
these bars repsent the number of people who are in that age bucket.
This was accomplished by taking the peron's Age (a dimension with an age column) and using the 'bin' option in obiee 11g answers.
When the user clicks on one of the bins in the bar chart (e.g. 0-30), it should navigate to another report which contains details (a table) of ONLY the people who are in that age bucket.
In order do this I created the same 'age bucket' in the drilll through report and set the field as prompted.
This works in OBIEE 10g but in OBIEE 11g when I click the 'bin' (e.g. 0-30) on the top report, it navigates to the other report via action link and displays ALL of the people, not just the people in the bucket 0-30.
Can anyone advise?
P.s. if I remove the bin for the age bucket, and display the actual age, the drill down works fine. I think the issue is specific to the bin feature. I am using OBIEE 11.1.1.6.4

Just confirmed with Oracle this is bug 13996544 . FYI just incase it helps anyone

Column Formula with Error in OBIEE 11g

Hello,
On Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 11g, I am trying to create an analysis. The database is MySQL. In the database, there is a field of type varchar(10). This
field shows a date. In OBIEE 11g, when creating the analysis, in the Criteria tab, I choose this column (varchar) and edit the formula of it. The operation that I want to do is:
YEAR(CURRENT_DATE) - SUBSTRING("TableName"."ColumnName" FROM 1 FOR 4) where the ColumnName is the name of the column of type varchar(10)
but I get an error: +[nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 27002] Near <->: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012]+
If I execute the same query directly on the MySQL database, I get the desired result without any error.
Also, if I use the following formula, I also get an error:
CAST((SUBSTRING("TableName"."ColumnName" FROM 1 FOR 4)) AS INTEGER)
So, I am asking why the first query throws an error in OBIEE 11g but not when it runs directly on the MySQL database. Also, how can I convert in OBIEE 11g a string to integer?
Thank you in advance,
Griselda

It could mean several different things. Do you know if the administrator have shut down the services? If you have access to the server, check to see if all the services are up and running.

Problem with PPR in Jdeveloper 11g

Hi All,
I'm working with the Jdeveloper 11g.
My problem is I have a command button/ Command link in a jspx page. Whenever I click on the command button or command or any action generating components the whole page is getting refreshed(PPR).
I wrote some internal logic in the constructor so as to display the tree. It is calling the constructor again and again when I'm clicking on the sub nodes of the tree. I think the entire page is getting refreshed and the methods are calling again and again.
Is there any way to overcome this problem.
Could any one help me out.
Thanking you,
regards,
Satish.

Satish,
I need more information to triage this issue. Do you have the partialSubmit attribute set to "true" on the command component? Does your JSPX contain an <af:document> tag?

Problem with SRDemo application in 11g

I followed the link http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/muench/1013srdemo/index.html and migrated the SRDemo application to 11g build.
When I login to the SRDemo application , I get the below error. I am able to login, but do not have access to any application facilities.
Failed to checkout SRService application module. Ensure your datasource name is SRDemo [case-sensitive!] and that connection settings are properly defined for a database with the SRDEMO schema installed. See server log for more exception details...
I re-checked my DB connection in Jdev and everything looks fine. I am launching the application from Jdev ( embedded OC4J). I am using the 11g Tech preview 2 build ( 4684 ).
What might be going wrong ?

Problem with EventHandler in OIM 11g

Hi All,
I followed the Part I(Chapters 6,7 & 30) in pdf file shown below
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e14309.pdf
I developed the plugin and registered the plugin for custom eventhandler.
Iam not able to see the defined eventhandler in design console .
I am running weblogicImportMetadata.bat (import specific metadata files into the MDS database) as specified in pdf document after making necessary changes.
After restarting OIM server ,the server is not starting , and showing errors like " target invocation exception","null pointer exception" etc.
Have anyone done the EventHandler in OIM 11g , if anyone done please provide the followed document link.
Please suggest to solve the issue.

Hello Satish,
You won't find the eventhandler in the design console. This is by design.
I had a similar error. Hope this helps you.
Verify your EventHandlers.xml file. For me one of the entries, particularly stage="preprocess" had the letter 's' in uppercase (Stage="preprocess"). This was the source of my error below.
<An error occurred while initializing service : {0}
java.lang.NullPointerException
Caused by: oracle.iam.platform.utils.ServiceInitializationException: java.lang.NullPointerException

There is definitely a lack of clear documentation around developing plugins (e.g. oim.home in ant.properties should point to OIM home/server).
I worked with Oracle support and provided some feedback. They are going to publish a KB article soon. I now have a preprocess eventhandler that seems to work.

Issue with Writeback in OBIEE 11g

Hello,
I have a created writeback report and it is working fine as of now .Now I changed the writeback template to use stored procedure to update the data.When I am trying to update integer columns it is working fine but when I try to update varchar columns it is giving the error instantly without generating the log.
"An error occurred while writing to the server. Please check to make sure you have entered appropriate values. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator."
When I try to update the procedure in DB ,it is working as expected. Can anyone tell me what is way I can troubleshoot the issue?
Thanks,
Prasanna

Hi Prasanna,
Can you try paasing the varchar values with single quote.

Problem with uploading files in 11g

I upgraded the pre-installed APEX 3.0 in Oracle 11g to version 3.2. I created a form to upload files to the table htmldb_application_files and then copy the transaction to my custom table. However, after I "saved" the transaction, nothing happened. No file was uploaded into the htmldb_application_files table. Also, the "save" process took a while to finish.
I used to do this in my other applications in Oracle 10g and everything worked fine. Is it an issue with Oracle 11g?
Thanks.
Andy

I think I just did something wrong myself. I was finally able to upload the file. However, I wrote the following procedure in my package but wasn't able to download the file from the report. Do I need to grant any privilege from the system user?
Also, does anyone know how to convert a BLOB table into 11g Securefiles table?
Thanks.
<pre>
procedure download_birth_cert(p_vrds_birth_cert_pk in number) is
v_mime VARCHAR2(48);
v_length NUMBER;
v_file_name VARCHAR2(4000);
Lob_loc BLOB;

select mime_type, blob_content, file_name, dbms_lob.getlength(blob_content)

Installation Problem with APEX 3.1 on 11g

Hey,
I've a big problem with apex3.1 on 11g. Yesterday i wanted to install the new version, which i've downloaded from the oracle server. Furthermore i have followed the instructions by the documentation.
i executed:
1. apexins.sql FLOW_1 USERS TEMP /i/ Is that correct?
2. apxconf.sql
Do i have do remove the old version (3.0)?
Thanks for your help
Best Regards,
Andi

Hi Andrea,
I tried to reproduce this and could not.
I created a new 11.1.0.6 database on Oracle Enterprise Linux with character set WE8MSWIN1252. I even did this with an OS locale of Italian (and trust me, it was a struggle, as my Italian is about as weak as my German). The only thing that is different between my test and your configuration is the server OS.
I then installed APEX 3.1, tried it in browser language 'it' and 'en-us', but I could not reproduce the issue.
Can you think of anything atypical in your configuration, installation, or database parameter settings?

Why it is so an what it means? Pleas help!
Best regards!

Hi,
it means that your template has an ADF binding (PageDef) reference. When you create a page in the JSF page dialog and assign the template then the binding reference is created for you. You should see a bulb in the page source editor. Press it an it should create the missing binding for you
