Refresh BIP report cache problem

I have built a BI Publisher report with Answers query result based on 2 repository variables. However, when users change the variable values, e.g. from 2010 --> 2011, the BI Publisher report does not reflect the latest result. Instead, it displays the previous result. How to ensure the report will be built based on the most updated values?
I have tried:
1. uncheck "Cache result" in data model under BIP report edit page.
2. uncheck "Enable document cache" in BIP Report properties under BIP report edit page.
3. Check "Bypass cache" in advanced page of corresponding Answer query.
4. Set the refresh rate to 1 minute of the repository variable in OBIEE Administration.
Anything I can do for it ?
Thanks ~

Does this BI Publisher report appear as a link on the Dashboard page or it is run within BI publisher? If the BI >>publisher report is part of the dashboard, have you checked "View Latest Version"?User will only schedule this report on background, not post on the dashboard. Although I know scheduling will not use cache, but user willl verify the result on web viewer.
Is your answers request executed first based on repository variable and then the BI publisher report is run? Actually, the BIP report's data is all from one Answers query, so when the BIP report is run, the Answer report should be run first (according to my understanding on BIP and Answers coordination), which is based on the repository variable.
I have set the refresh interval to 1 min for the Repository variable.
Thx

  • SSRS Report Data Caching Problem in Internet Explorer

    HI All,
    We have setup reporting server in native mode and have deployed SSRS reports on reporting server and mapped it to sharepoint page with report viewer web part.
    The changes on the data is not getting reflected on the report unless I close the browser completely and reopen the URL but at the same time for other rdl reportr, data is getting changed on same brower. so it doesn't seems to be the browser issue (not sure).
    Also the both reports are almost same.
    Any Idea Guys...whats happening with the report or how I can make it work to refresh data properly. I already have tried "Auto Refresh" option in rdl and it refreshes the browser but data doesn't gets refreshed. Also I had deleted cookies, clear the cache
    but it also did not work for me.
    Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Nipendra Garg

    Hi Nipendra Garg,
    This might be caused by the refresh behavior of Internet Explorer. When visit a webpage with the same URL, IE may use an old version of this page which stored in browsing history.
    If you're calling the report from a URL, add &rs:ClearSession=True. This will cause the browser to refresh the report every time it's called.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
    Thanks,

  • Qaaws not refreshing query triggered from Xcelsius, maybe a cache problem

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem with QAAWS and Xcelsius
    I'm using a List Builder component to select multiple values in this case STATES from the efashion universe
    I use the selected states as values to feed a prompt in a QAAWS query, the qwaas query has  the SALES REVENUE as the resultset and in the conditions it has a multi prompt for STATES
    When I preview my dashboard, I select the States, then UPDATE the values and then refresh the query with a CONNECTION REFRESH button, The first time I do this it works fine and returns the Sales revenue.
    If I add a new State to my selection and then run update and run run again the query with the refresh button, it doesn't work any more and it shows again the value retrieved from the first query
    First I thought that the query wasn't triggered by Xcelsius, but by doing some more tests I found that actually the query runs but it returns the value from the first query
    I think this is a cache problem , so is there a way to tell QAAWS to always run the query and not use the cache?
    thanks,
    Alejandro

    Hello Alejandro,
    QaaWS indeed uses a cache mechanism to speed up some Xcelsius interactions (from XI 3.0 onwards), but your issue should not be induced by this, as cache sessions are discriminated according to session user id & prompt values, so if you are correctly passing prompt values, QaaWS should not serve you with the previous values by error.
    Could you specify how you are passing several prompt values to the QaaWS? There might be an issue there, so make sure that:
    1. QaaWS query prompt is set using In List operator, otherwise only first value will actually be taken into account,
    2. In Xcelsius Designer Data Manager, web service input paremeters are duplicated to accept several input values (you cannot submit you list of prompt values as a list to a single input parameter).
    If this still does not work, I'd suggest you debug your dashboard runtime using an HTTP sniffer like Fiddler (available from http://www.fiddler2.com/) which enable you to inspect the sent & recieved HTTP messages with the server, where you should verify which prompt values are sent to the QaaWS servlet.
    FYI, you can set the QaaWS cache lifetime for each query, by going into QaaWS edition first wizard screen, click Advanced... button and change value for timeout parameter (default is 60 seconds)
    Hope that helps,
    David.

  • OBIEE Cache clear and refresh of reports from DAC

    Hi All,
    I have an existing process where OBIEE cache clear and Dashboard report refresh is happened from DAC.
    But the issue is both do not happen parallely, the both tasks are kept in single text file and they are called from a batch file from DAC. Below is the code
    nqcmd -d AnalyticsWeb -u Administrator -p SADMIN -s D:\OracleBI\server\Bin\PurgeAllCache.txt
    So I want to make them run parellely so that Cache clear and refresh of reports happen parellely. In order to achieve do I need to create seperate batch files or can I manage by changing the above code.
    Please Suggest.

    Can you share the code in the file PurgeAllCache.txt
    There might be some issue with code, make sure you use ';' for each statement.
    or else use 2 files and 2 commands to execute them.
    Pls mark if helps

  • Taking old report even new report is uploaded on web - Cache problem?

    Hello,
    I have a problem. We are using remote server for development work.
    We are working on web environment. The modules (forms & reports) will be uploaded to the unix server using web compilation links. Now I haveI uploaded (generate), a report (old) to the server. After some modifications new report is uploaded . When I run the report, it is always taking old one, instead of new.
    Time stamp in the server is showing new one is uploaded.
    I heard this could be because of cache problem on the server. If some one have faced the same , please let me know the solution for this?
    Cheers

    FRM-40738 (repid is coming out null)
    Looks like here it is not able to find the report
    repid := find_report_object('ETOX_9ITEST');
    In Forms builder confirm that you have defined a report by this name for the particular form (adding the report in REPORTS_PATH would not suffice). I think it should also point to corresponding report.
    Please post the exact error messages as you see it with the error numbers.
    Other comments.
    2) Added a TNS_ADMIN in the registry to point to TNSNAMES.ORA in the apps directory. This Tnsnames.ora has an entry for report server name. The report server is up when seen in OEM console. But my report does not launch. <<For 9i you do not need to do this . This alias defining is for 6i. In 9i it is "auto discovery" in the subnet.
    You can remove this. (You need Tnsnames.ora for DB aliases, I am talking about reports server...)
    3) Same comment as above
    8)Verify the Reports 9i Service properties and check the "Log On as" information. Be sure to specify on "This account" the user information with which the installation was made.
    For Windows/2000:
    - Start-> Settings-> Control Panel-> Administrative Tools-> Services
    - Double click on the Reports Server
    - Go to "Log On" tab
    - Change on the "Log On As" section to "This account" and enter the userid/password of the
    user that installed Reports Server
    - Ensure that the user account where the Reports Server is installed has administrator privileges
    and a default printer.
    - Restart the Reports Server as the new user.
    (For WinNT steps will be similar)
    ---Workaround till your issue is solved is ....
    Start report server as a standalone server
    rwserver server=server_name
    Thanks

  • How do you refresh a report after an update?

    Hi all,
    I have a Welcome Page that has several Portlets on it. One of the Portlets is a QBE report. From the report a user can click on a column record and be transported to a form, where the user can modify the record. Once the user is satisfied with the changes, the user hits the UPDATE button and is transported back to the Welcome Page. The only problem is that the Report has not been updated. Refresh does not work on the web toolbar and the only way I figured out on how to refresh the report is to go into the 'Customize' page and make some sort of change and hit O.K. After that, I am redirected back to the Welcome Page with the Report refreshed with current data. How can I refresh the report, without going into the 'Customize' Page? What code does the 'Customize' page do, to automatically refresh the report? I am using Portal 9.0.2.2.14.
    TIA,
    Dan

    Hi,
    This is due to webcache. You can solve this problem by calling the page url with an extra parameter. That way the page would get invalidated.
    Say the page url is
    http://domain/portal/page_pageid=33,32951&_dad=portaldad&_schema=portalschema
    then you should call the page like this
    http://domain/portal/page_pageid=33,32951&_dad=portaldad&_schema=portalschema&1=2
    This just adds a dummy parameter at the end and hence invalidates the cache.
    Thanks,

  • BI Publisher Reports Cached on Client

    Hi,
    I've noticed that when running a BIP report there is a pdf cached on the client. The pdf/report is stored in the following locations depending on the browser used.
    Using I.E.
    C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\S1M3O9IR
    Using FireFox
    C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temp
    Is it possible to run a BIP report and not have it cached on the client?
    I'm concerned about these files being outside the security defined in my APEX applications. At our company we have some employees sharing workstations. So one employee may have access to run a report while another employee would not. However, when the pdf file lands in the cache directory on the local machine the file is outside of the security of the APEX application.
    Todd

    Hello,
    At our company we have some employees sharing workstations.
    So one employee may have access to run a report while another employee would not.Do you mean sharing workstations or sharing accounts?
    If they are sharing workstations but using their own logons, then there shouldn't be a problem as they should not be able to see the other users files (assuming correct setup).
    If you have the situation where people are sharing accounts (or worse...using auto-logins on the machines), then I guess the PDF's being cached is the least of your problems ;)

  • Force refresh a report

    Hello,
    Is there a way where we can refresh the report when the user opens it. Without having the user to click on refresh ?
    We are having some JS code in the report and without refresh it doesn't seem to fetch the latest values.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Thanks for the reply John.
    I have attempting to use the "Bypass Oracle BI Presentation Services Cache" it works well with a simple report. However when I use it over some of the other more complex answers I'm getting some really strange results. Essentially reports seem to run forever, the session monitor suggests they are complete however they never render on the screen. This problem seems particular to reports which are navigated to via a navigation target.
    The problem also seems to adversley affect presentation services even requiring a restart before they return to normal.
    Have you had much experience using "Bypass Oracle BI Presentation Services Cache". I've noticed there seems to be a metalink article and bug raised (Doc ID 737840.1), Oracle's suggestion: "Customers should only check this bypass cache box in rare circumstances for fast-running requests"
    This doesn't really satisfy our requirement.
    Cheers

  • Custom assembly & Report Caching

    Our reports are using a custom assembly which encapsulates some common functionality. The problem is that report caching stopped working since we've implemented this cahnge.
    We can still activate caching via "Manage processing options" --> "Use cached data"... but it doesn't work. Reports are using live data instead of cache.
    Any idea?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi stanhe,
    Based on the limited information you provide, we cannot figure out what happened for the cache. Here are some suggestions you can do first:
    Check the cache config from reporting service database as the steps:
     1. Find the [Path] value of the issued report from table [dbo].[Catalog],
     2. Execute the stored procedure GetCacheOptions with the [Path] as parameter value.
    If there is no result returned, it means the report use the live data. You can try to clear the cache of the browser and reopen the web to re-configure the cache.
    If there is a cache setting, check whether the setting is correct or not and whether you have configure any cache refresh plans.
    If you do confirm that all the cache settings are correct but the report still uses the live data, please provide more detailed information for us to trouble shoot as:
     1. What is the custom assembly and how it is used in your report.
     2. Your database and reporting services version.
     3. All the configurations in "Manage processing options" page and "Manage cache refresh plans" page.
    Best Regards,

  • Error while refreshing a report using local csv file

    Hi,
    I'm using BI 4.1 SP02.
    While using Rich client, I've created a report with some merged queries, while one of the queries is a local CSV file - saved on AD in some server, and not on the repository inside BO.
    While trying to refresh the report with the Rich client, it all went great.
    Now, while using BI Launchpad java based app, I can't refresh the report - I get the following error:
    "An Internal error occurred while calling 'processDPCommandsEx' API. (Error: ERR_WIS_30270) (WIS 30270)"
    Should I be able to refresh a report without the Rich if it contains a local file (which is possible to EDIT only with rich) ?
    If so, then did someone ran into this error?
    Thank you,
    Or.

    First of all, thanks for both of the replies.
    Second,
    my problem is unlikely have to do something with permissions from one reasons -
    when the report is using XLS\XLSX on same folder(with same name prefix) - the report is running without any problem.
    Only problem is while refreshing without Rich while the source is network CSV file.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • Generating BIP report in RTF format generates blank report

    Hi all,
    When generating a BIP report in RTF format the report output is blank!?
    If I run the report in any other format the report displays the data correctly.
    We're running siebel 8.1.1.2 and BIP 10.1.3.4.1.
    When looking at the size of the report when the 'File Download' window appears it seem like the report contains data as the size is 62KB, compared to the pdf format which do display data is 20KB. The output generates the amount of pages that is needed for the report, but all pages are blank.
    The report is an activity List report with just one for-each statement in it.
    Has anybody come across the same?

    Hi alka,
    To invoke Word automatically, use command
    line options DESTYPE=CACHE,
    DESFORMAT=RTF and MIMETYPE=application/msword.
    This is an example URL: http://webserver:80/cg-bin/rwcgi60.exe?module
    =test.rdf&userid=scott/tiger@mydb&
    destype=cache&desformat=rtf&mimetype=application/msword&server=myrepserver
    1. Check the appropriate mimetype setting for Word by Starting Windows Explorer,
    choose View -> Options from the menu, go to the File Type tab, find Microsoft
    Word Document in this list, click Edit, and get the value for Content Type
    (MIME). This is the value that needs to be used in the MIMETYPE command line
    option, and it will typically be application/msword, but may differ on
    different machines.

  • Issue in BIP Report Generation - Issue gets fixed when the rtf is opened and re-saved

    Hi,
    We are facing a unique case in BIP reports generation at a Customer site. The BIP installed is a part of the OBIEE 11g installation. The customer report generates most of the times, however there are instances where we get a techinical details error ( custom error ) -  The only way to 'fix' this issue currently is to open the rtf file, hit the spacebar and save this file ( ie re-save this file ) and the report starts to generate correctly again for

    Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.
