Query rgdng hiding reports in obiee

Hi,
I have a section having 5 reports.I want to show only those reports which returns data.I want to hide altogether the reports which don not return any data.I don't even want to display any no result message.Also I want all these reports in one single section only.I tried using guided navigation but it cann't be used here as i have more than one report in my section.Any other option??Pls help.
Rgds

Why do you want to limit it to 1 section? You can create 5 seperate sections and use the guided navigation on each one. What do you gain from all reports being in one section?

Matt

Hi,
The presentation variable is being passed correctly, but still the date value is not persisiting.
I have two prompts, both having presentation variables passed into them;One of the prompt value is being persisted but the other one(here date) is not.
I am not able to justify this issue as the problem is very vague. I dont see any reason for this issue to come up.
Anyways I am still trying to figure out the problem.

Problem in Getting Count answer for the report in OBIEE 11g..

Hi friends,
I created a report in OBIEE 11g, but i'm not getting the correct answer as i expected...I'm getting answer in presentation services but the answer is wrong..
I'll explain to you with an example report: Suppose in the report "NATIONALITY COUNT IN DEPARTMENT WISE" manner
i dragged the Nationality column from per_all_people_f which is dim table and i dragged the column that i applied aggregation rule "count" for the column "nation count" from per_all_assignments_f which is fact table......If i viewed answers means i'm getting correct answer
(i.e.) nation count per Nationality..........
NATIONALITY<---------------------->NATION COUNT
AUSTRALIA 40
INDIA 20
AFRICA 10
USA 5
The above is the answer I'm getting with out including the department column from hr_all_organization_units...........
But since according to the report i need count in department wise manner, so for that along with nationality and nation count column i dragged department column from hr_all_organization_units which is dim table and also i hide that column as i dont want to view the department column in answers..........
If i clicked answers, means then I'm not getting the nation count for the nationality......... I'm getting the answer 0 for each and every nationality, if i included the hided department column
NATIONALITY<----------------->NATION COUNT
AFRICA 0
AUSTRALIA 0
INDIA 0
USA 0
I'm getting answers like the above if i include the department dimension column which is in hided manner.........................
What is wrong with it........Whether i made any logical mistake for the report.....If so guide me friends..........
Cheers,
Harry...........

Hi,
you said about writing query in DB.......whether U meant of trying checking the query in toad..or something else..........
Since im giving only one join from dim to fact in the physical diagram........
But more than one join exist between those dim and fact, but im giving only one join mainly the primary key column of the dimension table to the fact table....Whether i need to give all the joins that exist(even if it has 2 or 3 joins between those fact and dim) tables....
If i give count distinct means it is giving count for every nation as 1....like i mentioned below
NATIONALITY<----------------------------------------------------->NATION COUNT
INDIA---------------------------------------------------------------------1
AUS------------------------------------------------------------------------1
CAN------------------------------------------------------------------------1
Since you said to check about depts of the particular column....i couldn't able to understand about "depts" that you meant????

Script to kill long running reports in OBIEE

Hi
I have requirement to kill long running reports . I am using OBIEE version 10.1.3.4.0 which has a bug where it is not taking query limits governor and the reports are not getting killed if i am setting that parameter in RPD.
Oracle support has advised me to upgrade to next version, but for now, i cannot upgrade.
Can anyone suggest me script to run on obiee app server that can kill long running reports on obiee and database server.
I have AIX server and all reports run on database with same functional ID that is being used for ETL as well to Analytics database.

How to build a Analysis report in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I have a query regarding 'How to' to build an analysis report in OBIEE 11g.
The data model is a financial data model, where information such as Actual, Plan, Forecast, What - if etc for current AND prior year need to be displayed in a dashboard.
I created two analysis reports one for current year Rep1 and second for prior year Rep2 each with filter criteria as current year and prior year respectively based on years column. and then in the dashboard I created prompt based on scenario column (radio button) for Actual, plan, Forecast, and wht if.
I am able to show the current vs prior year data in the same dashboard for Actual or Plan or forecast or what if (depending on data availability in the database).
I want to achieve the same information in a single analysis report instead of two separate analysis reports. I do not want to create separate physical report for current and prior year data.
I need one analysis report which I can use in dashboard and depending on selection for scenario (actual , plan, forecast or wht if) I want to show the current AND prior year data the way I achieved in with two seperate reports embedded in their respective sections as explained above.
Does any one have idea how to achive this by building single analysis report?
If you need any more clarificaiton or have any queries, please let me know.
Thanks and Regards
Santosh

As per I understand your requirement,
In your Dashboard create a Presentation variable which receives the value of year you select.
Now in your analysis, select the year column along with all the measures you want (Actual, plan, Forecast, and what-if, etc).
Create a filter on Year column and convert it into SQL. Put the condition as:
"Year" BETWEEN @{Presentaion_Variable} - 1 AND @{Presentation_Variable}
You will get the result for selected year and the previous year.
Hope it helps..

Select query in a report

Hi!
Is it possible to modify a select query for a report in the following way:
I have created two fields where users input values and operators.
Operators selection is a static list consisting of: =, like , in
Value field is a text field.
The current query is:
SELECT
A,
B,
C
from TABLE
I would like to add:
WHERE
A : P1_OPERATOR : P1_VALUE
but it doesn't work; I get a notification that the operator is incorrect.
It has a defaulft value = and when I set let's say 5 in the value field the whole query should be:
SELECT
A,
B,
C
from TABLE
WHERE
A = 5
Regards!

Hmm, I get the following error:
Updatable report parse error:
ORA-20001: Query must begin with SELECT or WITH
The only difference I see is that your type is SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query) while I have SQL Query (updateable report) hardcoded.
I have APEX 4.2.2, I'm not quite sure how to change this...
This is my code:
begin
:P7_QUERY := 'select ROWID,BNK_ID,MSR_PRD_ID,SRC_STM_ID,ID,ID_RETKA,RSP,OZNAKA_RETKA,DATUM_STANJA,OZNAKA_IZVJESCA,OZNAKA_KOMITENTA,MBR_KOMITENTA,KOMITENT_NEREZ,ZUPANIJA,DRZAVA,SEKTOR_NEREZIDENTA,VRSTA_POVEZANOSTI,INSTRUMENT,ISIN,VALUTA,OTKAZNI_ROK,IZVORNO_DOSPIJECE,VRSTA_INDEKSACIJE,VALUTA_INDEKSACIJE,PORTFELJ,UTRZIVOST_KREDITA,ZNACAJKE_KAPITALA,RIZICNA_SKUPINA,UGRADJENI_DERIVAT,ODNOSNA_VARIJABLA,PREDZNAK,IZNOS,IZNOS_ACTUAL,VRSTA_IZNOSA,KOMITENT_PBR,UDJELI_POVEZ_C,AR_ID,AU_ID,ACT_AR_BAL_KN,ACT_AR_BAL,AR_BUSS_ID,MTI_CCY_TP_ID,REG_NO,REG_SFX,JMBG_ID_NO,IP_ID,NO_DYS_OO,TAX_ID_NO,INSTRUMENT_OLD,PREDZNAK_OLD,IZNOS_ACTUAL_OLD,ACT_AR_BAL_KN_OLD,ACT_AR_BAL_OLD,NAPOMENA,NOVI_POSAO_F,LISTA_SUMARNA,LISTA_REKAP,POSTOTAK1,POSTOTAK2,POSTOTAK3,DZS_IDY_CL_ID,HNB_IP_CL_ID,EXG_RT_CRD_RSK_F from DWP.IZV_SLOG_DET

Migration of Discoverer 1g reports to OBIEE

we are trying to migrate reports from Discoverer 10g to OBIEE 10.1.3.4.We have migrated the EUL using the utility tool provided by OBIEE.
Now we were trying to use the sample reports and migrate the same to OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
We are using a sample xml which we will be using to migrate the reports .We have a web service which takes report inputs in this XML format, converts and save OBIEE reports.
SInce OBIEE does not have tabs(worksheets) like Discoverer,we thought
we will have to prepare xml for each tab and present it as a single
report in OBIEE.
1) Can u please suggest if this is right or there is some
workaround for it or if anyone has idea about it?
We could also do some changes to the xml to incorporate some functions of discoverer if anyone has suggestions.
We are assuming that Crosstab reports are similar to Pivot tables in OBIEE.
2) But we are not sure how to incorporate the page items in thexml.plz suggest if anyone has ideas since not sure if page items can be handled in OBIEE.
3) Can someone help us in completing with this below xml by taking example of the sample reports present in discoverer.The values of reports are to be included in the xml
Any help would be great since we are trying this for the first time and we are not well versed with xml too.Please find below the sample xml we are using

Hi,
I opened the Discoverer administrator and clicked on export.
in next step i selected the option "Selected obects in the end user layer" for "what do u want to export"?
i choose workbook and selected the sample workbook "Video Tutorial workbook"
Then i gave the name "Video Sales Tutorial" and saved the file in a folder and selected the check box "generate xml for exported workbooks"
I got the file in the folder as Video Sales Tutorial.eex.That .eex file had details of the workbook name and all other information
<UniqueIdent ConstraintName="DOC1" Batch="False" DeveloperKey="VIDEO_TUTORIAL_WORKBOOK"/>
But to get these workbook details we have to always save the workbook in the DB.We cannot save the workbook in our file system.
Am i right?Since only workbooks which are in DB can be exported.
Thanks a lot for the info.Will try to analyze this information

Browser performance issue when Calling BI Publisher report from OBIEE dashb

Hi Techies,
We installed OBIEE 10.1.3.3 on SunOS 5.9 unix box.This is PROD env.We are calling BIPublisher report from OBIEE dashboard by clicking the BIP reports link on OBIEE dashboard.After clikcing the link BIPublisher report is opening in another browser window.But is it taking time.
Plz tell me how can we reduce the time taken to open BIPublisher report window when we cilck on the report name in OBIEE dashboard
Thanks,

Suresh
There is no out of the box method to get the EBS report to OBIEE. You could look into moving the EBS report to a mountable web server directory after it completes and then show it in OBIEE via a link or html object. You will need to rename the report of course, every time you run it its going to change names.
In an after report trigger you could call a small java class to move and rename the file for you.
Alternatively, recreate the report in the standalone version. Be aware that you are going to have to set orgs yourself, BIP is not aware of orgs outside of EBS

Cursors are not closed when using Ref Cursor Query in a report ORA-01000

Dear Experts
Oracel database 11g,
developer suite 10.1.2.0.2,
application server 10.1.2.0.2,
Windows xp platform
For a long time, I'm hitting ORA-01000
I have a 2 group report (master and detail) using Ref Cusor query, when this report is run, I found that it opens several cursors (should be only one cursor) for the detail query although it should not, I found that the number of these cursors is equal to the number of master records.
Moreover, after the report is finished, these cursors are not closed, and they are increasing cumulatively each time I run the report, and finally the maximum number of open cursors is exceeded, and thus I get ORA-01000.
I increased the open cursors parameter for the database to an unbeleivable value 30000, but of course it will be exceeded during the session because the cursors are increasing cumulatively.
I Found that this problem is solved when using only one master Ref Cursor Query and create a breake group, the problem is solved also if we use SQL Query instead of Ref Query for the master and detail queries, but for some considerations, I should not use neither breake group nor SQL Query, I have to use REF Cursor queries.
Is this an oracle bug , and how can I overcome ?
Thanks

Hi Vaidya,
I'm not sure how much I can help you but from the error log I can see there is some issue when deploying transformations. Have you implemented any transformations in BI? If yes please check if they are applied properly and working fine in BI. Then try to open the report in portal.
Here is a document on modeling transformations in BI https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/dc43c445-0d01-0010-23a1-ca348ff5f975

Error when opening a BW query with Crystal Reports

Hi all,
I am having problems when opening a BW query with Crystal Reports, the strange thing is that it only happens with
the bo user I have created. If I use a user that already exists and that has SAP_ALL authorization it works.
I don't know if this could be an authorizations issue, but I have created a role with all the authorizations stated in the manual.
The error I am getting is the following:
"An error occurred while generating a new report template. Error in UNKNOWN.RPT file"
Does anyone know what this could be?
Thanks

Well,
I cannot access the system now. But I think it is not an issue of authorization, because I assigned all the good user's role to the bo user,
and even with that, it still don't work.
Thanks
