Write Back Error in OBIEE 11.1.1.7.150120

Hello everybody,
i have a problem with the writeback capabilities of OBIEE 11.1.1.7.150120.
After the Migration from 10g to 11g i would like to customize the write back in 11g. I go like Oracle BI Practice: OBIEE 11g Configure Writeback this, but getting an OBIEE error:
"Write Back Error
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."
The table does not have any constraint. I would like to insert for example the value "2".
In my table properties i fill in "filling".
My ...\bifoundation\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\analyticsRes\customMessages\writeback.xml looks like that:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1">
<WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
<WebMessage name="filling">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="Connection Pool">
<insert> </insert>
<update>update analyticmodel.last_runtimes set laru_exec = @1, laru_runtime_start = sysdate </update>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
<WebMessage name="machine_filling">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="Connection Pool">
<insert> </insert>
<update>update analyticmodel.machine_filling set mf_mach_id = @{c0}</update>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
Thank you very much
Best regards
Christian

Hi Cristian,
You must use '' at script when call some column value. (use '@1' instead of @1)
Tip.. note you can use your "WebMessage Name" (from your script, like "filling", "machine_filing") into your analisys.
Hope this help

OBIEE 11G Write Back Error

Hi All:
I am testing the OBIEE 11G write back function. After all the steps , there's an Error message said "Write back Error" . No other detail information. Do you have any idea about where's the problem of it?
My xml file was under the folder of 'C:\OBIEE11\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\msgdb'. and the detail is as below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

Hi,
I think these is a problem with your connection pool name, please check it. It's a name of connection pool in BI administrator.
if it's not problem, Can you try my way, replace '@{c1}', '@{c0}' by @1, @2...with 1,2 is a number of column in Criteria.
It's my template :

OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 Write back error.

I am working on OBIEE 11G(11.1.1.5.0) write back feature. After all the steps which were mentioned in 11g Documentation , there's an Error message said "Write back Error" . No other detail information. Do you have any idea about it?

Yes,
Please note that in Oracle BI 11g, the use of PL/SQL (any non core SQL logic) is no applicable to in the writeback configuration files. Do not use ';' semi-colons. Also such things as BEGIN / END do not work as they did in Oracle BI 10g.

Write Back Error The system is unable to read the Write Back Template 'test

Write Back Error The system is unable to read the Write Back Template 'test'. Please contact your system administrator. OK
But, the update button is on.
It did work and now it doesn't... nothing of course that we know of has changed. We got this message when we started and the name of the file was what we put as template name in obiee instead of webmessage name but the update button was off.... now we have update button on and same error.
File is on unix and we have made 777 so it's open to the world.

You're better off searching for an answer to this question in the [OBIEE Forum|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=378].
The topic is discussed at least twice a month so there's tons of posts with all the answers you need. Make a forum search for writeback and you'll have your answer.

Oracle BI Write Back on NULL values - Write Back Error

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

Write Back from OBIEE 11g to multiple tables in DB

Hi All,
We have requirement to write-back from OBIEE 11g to multiple tables in DB.
1) Inserting a new row in report. Inserting record into multiple tables through OBIEE?
2) In report we have fields like Region Id, Product Id, Date, Quantity. Region Id, Product Id, Date are dimension fields and Quantity is Fact measure while inserting row in report does OBIEE checks Refrential Integrity Constraint during Write Back on DB.
Let me know if you need more details on this. Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Rajkumar.

Hi,
1) With regard to inserts into multiple tables, try using multiple insert tags (I haven't tried it) but I think it should work.
2) I don't think OBIEE would check referential integrity , but DB would and give you appropriate response.
Let us know how you got on...
Thanks & Regards

Write back error - 11.1.1.6.2

Hi,
Has anyone been able to update records using writeback in 11.1.1.6.2?
Update works, in 10g but in 11.1.1.6.2 I get always the error "Write Back Error".
I have tried the following steps:
1) physical table non-cacheable.
2) in logical column writeback option
3) grant read/write columns in rpd
3) LightWriteback element in the instanceconfig.xml file
4) In Oracle BI Presentation Services, grant write-back privileges to the user
4) pasting xml file in custommessages folders:
D:\OBIEE11g\instances\instance1\bifoundation\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\analyticsRes\customMessages

Write back from OBIEE into Essbase

Hi everyone,
Questions about write back from OBIEE (11.1.1.7) into Essbase (EPM 11.1.2.3).
First of all, did anyone manage to do it ?
Secondly, what are the constraints ? (number of cells updated limited, only level 0 of the Essbase database can be updated, only existing data can be updated or things like that ?)
Thirdly, what are the best practices regarding OBIEE or Essbase security when we implement write back ?
Thanks for answers

Hi,
writing to Essbase from OBIEE exist for many years...
In the past it was doing via a JSP page but since last year it's supported directly with a simple UPDATE statement.
Have a look at SampleApp 406 (current version), in the Essbase examples there is also the write back using the UPDATE statement.
Just keep in mind one thing: OBIEE is not supposed to be an entry form for Essbase or any other system, it can be used for editing values so you can dynamically change params for what-if calculations (running a calc script after updating a value) and that kind of things.

Write back - how OBIEE decides insert or update action ?

Hello
I have a question regarding write-back.
I have both an insert and update statement in my template file.
I want to give the users ability to insert new rows and update existing ones.
I am able to do both, but sometimes the insert/update behavior is not consistent. That is, instead of updating the record, it creates a new row itself in the database (and sometimes the reverse also is true).
Anyone has ideas on how OBIEE decides whether it is an insert or update action?
thanks in advance

Hi,
I have implemented writeback in Obiee 10g version
It's working fine
Please refer my correct code
