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.

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

OBIEE Report Export from Dashboard to Excel doesn't suppress the columns as

OBIEE Report Export from Dashboard to Excel doesn't suppress the columns as expected even after the properties are set to Suppress in the report. In Dashboard it is suppressed Properly but in the excel export it is not suppressed and values for the columns are repeated.
Added the following to the instanceconfig :
<Download>
<Export xsi:type="excel">
<DataValue>UseFormattedValue</DataValue>
<RepeatRows>false</RepeatRows>
</Export>
</Download>
But then could not restart services.The following error occured :

Problem solved!!
 
See this part of the query:
 
if :P15_GESTOR_PROPIETARI='-3' then 
w:= w||' AND (("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID"=:GESTOR '; 
w:= w||'OR "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID_ESTA_ASSIGNADA"=:GESTOR)'; 
w:= w||'OR ("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."AGR_***_***_ID"=:P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB ';
w:= w||' AND "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."PUBLICA"=''S''))'; 
end if; 
 
when instead of :P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB I put a value (say ''EE'') it works correctly, finally I created an application item (ASSOCIAT) and when when I change :P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB I set :ASSOCIAT to the same value and the query is based on this application item:
 
if :P15_GESTOR_PROPIETARI='-3' then 
w:= w||' AND (("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID"=:GESTOR '; 
w:= w||'OR "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID_ESTA_ASSIGNADA"=:GESTOR)'; 
w:= w||'OR ("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."AGR_***_***_ID"=:ASSOCIAT '; 
w:= w||' AND "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."PUBLICA"=''S''))'; 
end if;

Few Questions on OBIEE Architecture

This is just a continuation of this thread:
Confused on BI Publisher and BI Presentation Services
So just want to know how the whole process takes place, from RPD, XDO, NSQconfig..
So from Step 1 =)
From what I understand as of now is I need to go to Administration Tool, create first a repository? Then go to BI Presentation Services to create reports ( using Answers )? When does the user creation comes into place? What is the purpose of BI Publisher? I've already setup a few things on BI Publisher like User, Roles, etc. but still not on the part of creating a report. Sorry If I ask too many questions, I'm just trying to understand what's the relationship of each tool. I've checked the docs and mostly they're just diving into modifying configs without really explaining why. ( at least that's how I saw it ) =)
Thank you very much again!

Wow - where do we start !
Remember they are two seperate products, OBIEE and its related configs / components (RPD, BI Server, BI Presentation services - Answers, Dashboards, ibots etc)
BI Publisher, formerley XML Publisher, sucessor to Oracle Reports.
They fall under the Oracle BI Stack.
Loads of info on our website, link in the previous post you mentioned.
'Roles' in OBIEE can determine - Authorisation ie what you can do in the sytem or "Priviledges". What objects (reports / dashboards) you can use and can also be used for data security filters (Like a OBIEE 'virtual private database' version of the real Oracle DB option 'VPD')
Roles in BI Publsher typically can mean the same, who can create folders, who can create reports, who can run them , who can create data sources etc. Sometimes you have to use a system specific role name, sometimes you can create your own names and reference them as you please (BIP roles are typically one of a pre-defined set, OBIEE roles can be called whatever you want)
Sounds hard at first and without prior experience but seriously, there are some very very good blogs out there, as mentioned in previous response, we also have a lot of info on our website (Peakindicators.com)

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.
14.     What type of charts can be created with the BI?Many different kinds. Some of them are:
Bar
Line
Area
Pie
Line-Bar
Time Series Line

Hi ,
I am creating a OBIEE report, the report has table and 30 column in it. When I am viewing the report in an excel file , its appearing good but the width of the table is so small if I am viewing the same in internet explorer/PDF .I dont know how to increase the width of the table. Could you please sort this issue out.
Thanks
Govindan P

- you can increase the width of a column -> column format values -> Additional Formatting Options
increase the width:
- Report level:
result tab -> Click on Format container of Table -> Additional Formatting Options
u can assign value width : 500 height:.....
- dashboard level:
Edit options -> section -> Format section -> Additional Formatting Options
here also u can change the width
u can assign value width : 500 height:.....
pls mark it helps....

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.

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!)
<?php
$urlInforme='http://obi:7001/analytics/saw.dll?Go&Path=/shared/Prueba/ogp_obi&Action=Print&P0=1&P1=eq&P2="Criterios"."Clave oficial"&P3=1402&NQuser=user&NQPassword=pass&format=pdf';
$ch = curl_init($urlInforme);
$ckfile = tempnam ("./", "CURLCOOKIE");
$ch = curl_init ($urlInforme);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $ckfile);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$output = curl_exec ($ch);
$ch = curl_init ($urlInforme);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $ckfile);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$fp = fopen("salida.pdf", "w");

CUIC 9.0 Custom Reporting/Dashboards

Good Afternoon,
I am relatively new to CUIC as a whole so any feedback to the following question is appreciated. I am a manager at a contact center who recently made the jump from Avaya to Cisco this month. I am looking for a way to create a customized dashboard for each Supervisor in our center. I would like to include a report that shows all of the Supervisor's agents and their call statistics for that current day (since the start of shift until present moment, AHT, Calls taken, Abandoned calls, hold time avg, short call % etc.) I was using "Historical Agent All Fields Daily" Stock Report. Ideally I would like to have this report be a part of their dashboard so that each time they open the Dashboard it automatically begins running the report from 8am until present, and refreshes every 30 seconds (if you can input a refresh interval). Any and all assistance is appreciated, as I stated I am relatively new to the software and I am looking forward to learning as much as possible. Thanks in advance for your help!
-Daniel

Daniel,
Unfortunately, some of the stock reports don't have a built-in option for "relative" dates (i.e., being able to choose "Today", "Yesterday", etc). If you have the "peragt26_Agent Consolidated Daily Report" available to you, you should be able to select "Today" in that, it should have most of the data you're looking for. If you don't have this report, it is available from the CDN under "WebView reports". http://developer.cisco.com/web/ccr/documentation
In order to have a report in a dashboard automatically run with specific filter criteria, it needs to have a "default filter" set up. Each report can only have a single default filter. If you have multiple defaults you would like to set up, you will need to create copies of your report, each with its own default filter. You can set the default filter by right-clicking the report in the Reports tab and choosing Edit.
Once you have your reports and dashboards set up, I would recommend potentially adjusting user permissions so supervisors can only see the reports/dashboards that pertain to them.
If you haven't seen it yet, the CUIC User Guide is here - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/intelligence_suite/intelligence_suite_902/user/guide/CUIC_BK_R4B100EB_00_reporting-app-user-guide-902.html

How to make OBIEE reports available during the DB tables data refresh?

Experts,
We have our production ETL run for 2.5 days every month. OBIEE reports will not be available during the run. We have a requirement to make the reports available all 24 hrs 365 days. So, what we are trying is to copy all the fact/Dim tables to the new schema running in the same or different DB server and amend the connection pool to point this schema during the run. Here are my questions. Is this a workabale solution (or) is there better approach for meeting our requirement
Regards,
Sarvan

I would suggest this option:
Store the following connection pool values in a table and call them in your connection pool using Connection Pool Scripts
Data Source Name
User ID
Pwd
when ever you want to change db just you need to edit these values that would help your bi with no downtime.
You might have to tweak it little bit if needed.
More or less we have use sometime back to a client where they want to switch dbs dev to test to etc
Try it out.
BTW: 2.5 days load time for Full load or Incr?

OBIEE report with HFM and Essbase Data source

Hi All,
Just want your though can we get the data from HFM and Essbase data source in a single report i.e. for some account i want to show budget data from HFM and Forecast data from essbase in a single OBIEE report? If yes how can we model both Data source in rpd?

It possible but the challenge is to try to align the account hierarchy and the entity hierarchy between Essbase and HFM. HFM is looking the data at a top side consolidation level where planning will have more granular details to forecast correctly. The best solution is either to build a custom table in to import both sources, or to use HFM data into Essbase, or to use EPMA. The best in class solution stays to align hierarchies and metadata across applications. We implemented BI Financials Dashboard for the General Ledger, built a custom Dashboard connected in Real Time to Planning and are installing OFMA to connect HFM. Once done, you can rationalize metadata if not done before and start to link the different data into single reports. You will also have to ensure the data is refreshed at the same time to avoid inconsistency.

Open OBIEE report from web application

Experts, I want to open OBIEE report from a web application. I have a question regarding the security here. Say I login as 'USER1' in web application, I would have to pass 'USER1' in nquser parameter. Correct? Also, this report has access to 'Sales Group' users only. So, does 'USER1' in web application need to be assigned to 'Sales Group'? Or, any user in the web application can open this report as long as I pass nquser in the GOURL.
thx,
parag

You don't need to specify group details.
When the report hits OBIEE, it will determine the permissions based on the nquser.
Hope it helps.
