Question on OBIEE report functioning ?

Hi all,
In the OBIEE answers on one of the report i tried to remove the row using "remove" option then it removes the row from the report but it won't change the total. Here i analysed the problem then i came to know it is happening because in criteria if i am performing Rsum or sum operation on the concerned fact column then it will not change the Total even if we remove the rows from the report. So i just i want to confirm whether my analysis is correct and is it the behaviour of OBIEE. If you have the solution to this problem then please let me know.
Thanks,
Anand

Please give me the answer for this problem.

Questions on OBIEE reporting against transactional Database

Hello guys
I have a situation where I have to bring in 5 tables from transactional database to do reporting on.. I looked at the tables, there are not typically dimension or fact tables. Each table contains information very specifically, at the same time all tables have numeric values that needed to be aggregated at the lowest level of that table..
I can join all these 5 tables together knowing the key columns. However, this is basically joining 5 tables with fact measures... Since this is transactional database which we don't own, so I can't create views nor changing the table structures..
I wonder how would I be able to configure such model in OBIEE?
Any thoughts?

Thank you for the reply..
The specific situation I have here is:
I have 4 tables that I am polling directly from the4 store's cash register (Oh yea, real real time), they are customer, receipt line, receipt header, inventory,
The physical join is: they are customer-----> receipt line<-----receipt header <------------inventory...
In the BMM layer, each of these 4 tables have columns that should be measures, such as customer.customer credit limit, receipt line. quantity, receipt header. reciept tendered, inventory.quantity on hand... They are more measure columns from each table, but I am just listing one from each..
In this case if i set the aggregation rule on each column, then the BMM model won't a star schema anymore because every table can be fact..
I thought about adding all the measure columns into 1 logical fact table, which then the logical fact will have 4 LTS: customer, Re Line, Re Header, Inv.. This will be fine if I am only dealing with 1 store... However, in reality there will be 50 stores with the same exact tables/structures but on different servesr. Therefore, the logical fact will end up with 4*50 = 200 LTS each has fragmentation defined "store number = NYC or something else"..
Just wondering if combining all the measures in one logical table is the only way to model this design or not? What would be the best thing to do if in this situation I have to report against multiple data source of the same tables in 1 subject area?
Please let me know your thoughts..
Thank you

Questions on OBIEE Report / Dashboards

What is report based total?
while using PIVOT TABLE we find this option of the measures section > more options
Where can we set suppress or repeat default settings?
On Column properties for duplicate values suppression. I would like to know the difference between the suppress and default
Remove My Dashboard completely.
My dashboard is the default dashboard appearing to the users. If I will have to remove this and set another dashboard as default, what is the option
I would like to the usage procedure for the personalized option on Delivers(IBots)
Thanks in advance,
Samson.

Help required in building OBIEE Report

Hi,
Can anyone help me to below OBIEE issues as I am very new to this field.
1. The requirement is to create one Oracle Apps Projects OBIEE report which was previously in discoverer. The discoverer report has 6 worksheet and many custom folders and many custom functions used in worksheet. Now my question is what will be the best design in OBIEE RPD? As the data are coming as joining many folders so how that can be managed in OBIEE RPD physical layer?
2. How custom database functions can be called in OBIEE? The discoverer report has multiple database functions (coming from custom package))called in Calculation in worksheet level so how can I call these database functions to OBIEE rpd or OBIEE answers?
3. How do I make dimension fact in business mapping layer as the base report is based on the discoverer custome folders? So what will be the best case design for fact dimension?
4. How the data LOV can be created in OBIEE?
5. Is there any way to create sql queries in rpd for obiee reports? Suppose I have source data like this
select ....
from table a, table b
where joins..........
union
select statements.
How this type of data can be mapped into obiee rpd?
The requirement is to fetch the data directly from oracle ebs in obiee rpd without going to ETL.
Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Titas

One thing you could do is create an object model first, which will contain all the data for your user.
then all you need in the bean is a Hashtable with the name of the user as a key, and the user-object (which is actually the complete object model) as a value.
with the XML stated by you, you would get an object model something like this:
Class User
    String cwsid;
    String firstName;
    ArrayList<Role> roles = new ArrayList<Role>(); //I'm assuming a user can have more then one role.
    ArrayList<Country> countries = new ArrayList<Country>();
class Role {
    String code;
    String name;
class Country {
    String code;
    String name;
}And so on for all the varioous elemets of your XML.

How to use SQL Query in OBIEE Reports

Hi all,
I need to use direct sql query in report function column.. How can I implement that.
For example
Our report name is /shared/Automotive/Vehicle Services/Most Serviced Vehicle Models
we have to eliminate /shared/Automotive/Vehicle Services/ part from above report name.. I have done this in sql using the Query SUBSTR(COL,INSTR(COL,'/',1,4)+1).
So kindly help how to implement above sql query in Obiee.. Urgent.
Thanx in advance

Thanx in advanceArrggh. I wish people wouldn't just answer a question without taking the time to actually think about what the user is asking for and if it makes sense. I like Diney's response best: Why not use the Title View? (i.e., asking questions until it is clear what is needed.) So along those lines, why are you trying to put the name of your report in a column of your report?? And why do you need to use direct sql to do this??
Kindly or not, urgent or not, state what you are trying to achieve and why you need it (if the obvious answer like "using the Title View" doesn't work for you), instead of simply assuming your method is right and you need to know how to do what envision. Your method may not be correct or necessary.

Compare 2 date columns in an OBIEE report

Hi,
in an OBIEE report, I have columns of 'ship date' and 'begin date'.
My question is: how do I select those records (rows) that have the 'ship date' after 'begin date' ?
If so, please advice what are the function should I use to compare/filter these records.
Thank you

That means you want to see only those records where Ship date is greater than Begin Date ?
Add filter on Ship Date
Select Operator = Is Greater Than
Click on Add more Options > SQL expression
Copy the column formula of Begin Date in SQL Expression. Ex : "Period Dimension"."Begin Date"
Hope this helps

1.     What database types/ sources can the BI pull from?OBIEE supports many popular databases out there including flat file, xml's as sources.
2.     Is the license portable from one server to another?No. As far as I know you have to buy the license based on number of servers you are doing the installation on.
3.     Are pages, graphs, reports, etc. 508 compliant?OBIEE is 508 compliant application.
4.     Is the license portable from one server to another?Refer to answer for Question # 2.
5.     Are pages, graphs, reports, etc. 508 compliant?Refer to answer to Question # 3.
6.     How large a dataset can the BI handle?Depends. You can do performance tuning both on BI server side as well as database to boost up the performance. Caching plays a major role here.
7.     How easily does the BI tool integrate new data to it's database?Not sure what you are asking here.
8.     What precautions do the BI use to back up data?OBIEE does not store any data. It only stores the metadata of the tables you are using.
9.     Level of Effort/ Steps involved to install, upgrade, or maintain BIPretty good documentation out there and many blog posts that should help you ease you through the installation process.
10.     Can the BI be used to create/moderate forums (wordpress or other)No. OBIEE is not a CMS.
11.     Can user comments be routed to different mailboxes based on predefined conditions (for example, url or user actions on the page)?Yes.
12.     Does dashboard support embedding flash?Yes.
13.     Are cross-tab capabilities supported in business view, dashboard, and ad hoc queries?Yes.

Can somebody give some real time questions for alv report

hi guru
can somebody give some real time questions for alv report.
answers also.
regards
subhasis.

hi,
The ALV is a set of function modules and classes and their methods which are added to program code. Developers can use the functionality of the ALV in creating new reports, saving time which might otherwise have been spent on report enhancement
The common features of report are column    alignment, sorting, filtering, subtotals, totals etc. <b>To implement these, a lot of coding and logic is to be put. To avoid that we can use a concept called ABAP List Viewer (ALV).</b>
Using ALV, we can have three types of reports:
   1. Simple Report
   2. Block Report
   3. Hierarchical Sequential Report

OBIEE report with Click button ( want to perform some actions)

Hi Experts,
My users want to make adhoc changes to an OBIEE report where I want to place a click button at the bottom of the report. Once the changes are done, They want to click the button so that the most current logical sql is captured and then it takes to another http url .
If any one have worked or has any ideas on this, Please share. Thanks in Advance.
S

Hi S,
Can you elaborate on what you mean by capturing the most current logical SQL?
What you are asking is only going to be as difficult as it is to perform the above action. The button and the navigate are simple.
John Minkjan shows you how to make a clear button here.
Basically you leverage the OBIEE class XUIPromptEntry minibuttonOn.
Here's the code (NOTE: You have to change the curly brackets to angular brackets):
{div class="XUIPromptEntry minibuttonOn"}{a href="#" onclick="return PersonalizationEditor.removeDefaultSelection(false)"}Clear{a}{div}
You can take this and modify it slightly to fit your purpose:
{div class="XUIPromptEntry minibuttonOn"}{a href="(URL to move to)" onclick="(javascript function that performs your task)"}Do Action Button{a}{div}
In the above, you will put the URL you want to navigate to in the (URL to move to) area. Then in the onclick function, you're going to want to write a javascript function that captures the latest logical SQL and have OBIEE call that function.
All that being said, this effort hinges on whether or not a javascript function can perform your task.
If you can elaborate on what you mean, I might be able to get you started on that function.
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!
Best regards,

Linking to an OBIEE report without showing the user and password

Hi!
we are trying to access to an obiee report from an external portal (coded with php).
The idea is that the user clicks on a link an gets the report in pdf format. For that purpose we are using this url:
http://ttivobiee01:7001/analytics/saw.dll?Go&Path=/shared/Prueba/ogp_obi&Action=Print&P0=1&P1=eq&P2="Criteria"."Key"&P3=1402&NQuser=user&NQPassword=pass&format=pdf
But this url is expossing OBIEE's user and password.
In order to avoid this security issue we tried to do an wget of the url but it doesn't return the report. Instead we get an html, which seams to download the report chunk by chunk (using javaScript).
The question is, is there any way that we could let our portal ussers access to an obbie report without expossing the user and password?
I have been looking into oracle forums and have found this: OBIEE Go URL with password protected
but we couldn't use this aproach due to security issues.
Thanks!
Nuria

Hi!
We have finally done this (and it works!)

I have setup the following form function calling SSWA jsp type function
Web HTML
OracleOasis.jsp?mode=OBIEE&function=Go&Path=/shared/APA%20Real%20Time/AR/AR02%20Revenue%20by%20Account%20Report&Action=Prompt
When I click the menu item OBIEE returns the following;
No Columns
The request cannot be performed because it contains no columns.
Can anyone please enlighten me on how to do this correctly
Thanks
Phil
Edited by: user462334 on 28/07/2010 21:50

Hi Phil,
I did some further investigation. The syntax to your Oracle BI Answers should be as follows;
OracleOasis.jsp?mode=OBIEE&function=Go&parameters=Path~/shared/APA%20Real%20Time/AR/AR02%20Revenue%20by%20Account%20Report
Check the following for more details;

How to retrieve data from xml file into obiee reports

Hi all,
I've got a situation here. A xml file is stored as blob in oracle database table. Now i need to retrieve data/info from that xml file into obiee reports. How am i supposed to proceed with this ?

I will go for a table function:
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/database/oracle/table_function
In two words, you can create a function that behave as a table. Then you create a function to pick up your xml, you parse it and you send back the rows.
I know that Oracle has also a library for XML files but I never use it until now.
Success

I am trying to integrate OBIEE report with EBS using Rich Content Container OAF functionality. I have followed the steps mentioned in oracle Note - Embedding Analytics in Oracle E-Business Suite [ID 974422.1]. When i run my page, the container region comes up with the error message - The requested URL /pls/ghrfpkd2/OracleSSWA.Execute was not found on this server. Can someone please help me with some documents on the steps to integrate OBIEE with EBS using Rich Content Container.

In OBIEE Report Grand Total instead of Average(Average) use Sum(Avg)?

Hi All,
In OBIEE Report Grand Total average always shows Average of average (Default) "avg(avg)" , can i overwrite this functionality to sum of average "sum(avg)".
Thanks in advance

Kandasamy

Hello,
You can try the following:
Remove the calculate result as setting for the three KFs.
In exception aggregation set property to average with ref char as leave start date.
Check if it works.
If the above dosent work, set reference char to emplyee ID and check.
Either one of them has to work

Link from OBIEE Report to BIP Report

I have a requirement in which I need to Create a Report in OBIEE and the values used in the prompts to execute the report in OBIEE needs to be passed through a link to BIP and Execute BIP report for selcted parameters.
The Report is working fine and I am able to pass the parameters from OBIEE to BIP but to make BIP Report function correctly. I have to apply same set of Parameters in BIP and they are visible in the header of the BIP Report.
Now the Requirement is to hide those parameters from BIP Report and BIP Report should run for the selected parameters from OBIEE dashboard.. On doing this the values passed from OBIEE are not getting filltered in BIP report and BIP Report is running for all records. Is there an alternate way to achieve this?

if you are on 11.1.1.6 version you can do it i think .
check the link below
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25178_01/bi.1111/e22257/whatsnew.htm#CHDCDBCA
Enhancements to Parameter Display Options
Enhancements to parameter display options include:
Support for radio button and check box display of values
Parameters that are defined as a menu in the data model can now be configured to display the menu options as a list of radio buttons or check boxes. Parameters configured to support one value support the option to display as radio buttons. Parameters configured to support multiple values support the option to display as check boxes.
New options for placement of parameters in the report viewer
Previously the report viewer always displayed the parameters in a horizontal region across the top of the viewer. In this release the display of the parameter region can also be configured in one of the following ways:
In a vertical region along the right side of the viewer
As a dialog
As a separate full page
New report viewer action button to show or hide parameters
This release adds an action button to the report viewer to enable users to hide or show the parameter region. This enhancement complements the new parameter display options. When report parameters are configured to display as a dialog or in a separate full page, the parameter display region is dismissed when the viewer displays the report. Use the Parameters button to redisplay the parameter region to make new selections.
Search added to menus
All parameter menus having more than a specified number of options provide a Search option. For more information, see Section 3.3.1.1, "The Parameter Search Dialog."
Option to remove the Apply button
Reports can now be configured to remove the parameter Apply button. In these reports the action of selecting a new parameter value automatically reruns the report.
