Reg approach in OBIEE
Dear all,
I am new to OBIEE. My requirement is to retrieve scheduling information stored in a database which would include the recepients to whom the report has to be mailed and the filtering criteria for the report data and based on this we would query another database to retrieve the actual report and send it via smtp to the intended recepients.Can some one give me some insight about the best suitable approach to achieve it.
Thanks in Advance.

Reg:fragmentation in OBIEE
Hi All,
I query, we are trying to use Aggregate tables in our design by Materialized views as option. When we want to use these MVs should these MVs not contain any operators like MINUS, UNION ALL etc?
Does OBIEE support fragmentation??
Any pointers would be of great help.
Thanks in advance.
\CheersHi
thank you for the quick reply.
I will rephrase my question here
If I go for aggregate table and Materialized Views as option which contains. UNION,MINUS operators.
Does OBIEE support Aggregates and Fragmentation on same table source?

Hi
I have two dim tables
Dim A and DIm B connected to Fact table joins are there in BMM layer and physical
when i create the repor in query from columns of the both dims the joins are not formed in session query...result it is doing a cartesian product and reportin is runninig for longer time
Where could be the issue?
Thanks!
Edited by: user511637 on Dec 15, 2009 4:28 AMHi user511637,
I got a follow up for the first question:
-- Are all three tables (Dim A, Dim B and Fact) in the same physical database?
YesSo all the tables are on the same physical (Oracle?) database. How are they setup in your RPD? Are they also setup in the same physical database object in the RPD? If not, that will cause them to execute separately.
Have you tried to drop all the joins and re-create them like you read in the other post?
If you have all of these setup appropriately and you're still getting join issues, here's what I recommend.
1) Pick a schema to be the master schema
2) Create synonyms for all tables that are not in the same schema and make sure that schema user has select on the tables. Since all your tables are on the same DB, this can be done.
3) Import the synonym objects into a single RPD database/schema.
4) Setup the joins the way they should be
5) Retest

IBot results in Shared location is over writing with no results (OBIEE 10g
Hi Dudes,
We are saving iBot results in shared location using java script at 8.am in morning everyday and files looks good. but the same file is overwriting in afternoon time with no results.
actually we are not overwriting file in shared location but it is happening automatically.
please suggest me.
Thank,
Raji.Thank you very much for your detailed inputs regarding Point #2 Prakash.
You are right in saying that I've this requirement to improve performance and users don't need to execute the reports again and again by hitting database or from cache. Because data per day is bit large to store in the table or to caching the data.
Regaring point #3 I want to use BFILE datatype to store the location of the file so that I'm planning to display hyperlink of the files to the users in OBIEE dashboard accordingly users will download the required report data.
Files I can store anywhere by using Ibots as suggested. Could you please suggest any approach in OBIEE to highlight a link to the files in a report or dashboard to download the required files data?
I found that I couldn't able to select BFILE data type column in Physical layer to see the data. and also its throwing error when I select this presentaion column in the report.
Below error message I'm getting:
View Display Error
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).

How to automate storing ibot results in a directory
Hello,
I have a requirement of
1. scheduling couple of reports which runs every day
2. Automating storing the results of the scheduled reports (Alerts) in a directory in the server (with date sufix to the files or in a new directory for date).
My development environment is in Windows which I'm working currently and production environment would be in UNIX. Please suggest solution in both cases.
3. Finally to create a dashoboard for end users with a date prompt to access these files depending on the date filter.
My approach for the point # 1 and 3 are as below
1. Scheduling set of reports by using Ibots which I configured successfully to run the reports on daily basis.
3. I want to create a table with column1 to store date, column2 to store file name and column3 with BFILE data type to store the link to the files in a directory. This part I would like to automate in a unix script in production. And want to create a request with date filter and display file content from column3.
Please correct me if I'm wrong in my above approach and Advice for the point number 2 to automate downloding of the scheduled report results in a file.
Regarding point #2 Is it something to do with GO URL?? I executed the URL (http://XXXXX:XXX/analytics/saw.dll?GO&NQUser=Administrator&NQPassword=Administrator&Path=/shared/transactions/Sales+By+Month&Action=download&Options=md) from Internet Explorer and its prompting to save the results in a location. Can we give file location like C:\DOWNLOAD also in the URL? And how can I call this URL inside a shell script or from windows command prompt?
Thanks in advance

Reg : EXISTS function in OBIEE
Hi all,
I have a req where the condition for a column is as below
select count(distinct shipment_header_id) from F_ERP_PO_RECEIPTS a
where exists (select 'X' from F_ERP_PO_RECEIPTS_TRX b
where b.TRANSACTION_TYPE = 'RECEIVE'
and b.shipment_line_id = a.shipment_line_id)
and not exists (select 'X' from F_ERP_PO_RECEIPTS_TRX b
where b.TRANSACTION_TYPE = 'DELIVER'
and b.shipment_line_id = a.shipment_line_id)
where F_ERP_PO_RECEIPTS_TRX and F_ERP_PO_RECEIPTS are my fact tables.
How do i apply this condition in the column level in obiee ..
Pls help me in resolving the same .
Thanks in advance
Reg,
NivHi,
Please try this,
Right Click on your Schema -> Select New Physical Table
Give the name of the Physical table as Dim_ERP_PO_RECEIPTS_HEADER_INFO
Select "SELECT" from the Table Type dropdown
Write your query as it is here:
select distinct header_id from F_ERP_PO_RECEIPTS a
where exists (select 'X' from F_ERP_PO_RECEIPTS_TRX b
where b.TRANSACTION_TYPE = 'RECEIVE'
and b.shipment_line_id = a.shipment_line_id)
and not exists (select 'X' from F_ERP_PO_RECEIPTS_TRX b
where b.TRANSACTION_TYPE = 'DELIVER'
and b.shipment_line_id = a.shipment_line_id)
Make a physical join between F_ERP_PO_RECEIPTS -> Dim_ERP_PO_RECEIPTS_HEADER_INFO on header_id
Create a new LTS in the logical table of the Fact F_ERP_PO_RECEIPTS
Pull the Dim_ERP_PO_RECEIPTS_HEADER_INFO in the General tab of the LTS
Create a new Logical Column with HEADER_COUNT name
Double click on it
In the Column Source tab -> Select the new LTS you have created above -> Edit Expression
Give the formula as Dim_ERP_PO_RECEIPTS_HEADER_INFO.Header_id
Aggregation as Count or Count distinct
Please mark, if it is helpful

Reg. Multiple Result set in OBIEE
Hi All,
I would like to have some pointers or any documentation reg. the processing of mutiple result sets from a DB2 stored procedure, by the OBIEE layer.
Thanks in Advance,
RockyHi Radha,
If you want to cache the results in the Oracle BI Server, you should check that option. When you run a query the Oracle BI Server will get its results from the cache, based on the persistence time you define. If the cache is expired, the Oracle BI Server will go to the database to get the results.
If you want to use caching, you should enable caching in the nqsconfig.ini file.

Recommended approach for customizing OBIEE 11g
Hi all,
I know Oracles whitepaper "Customizing Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 11g" and using weblogic and the deployed "analyticsRes" application it already works ...somehow. But on page three there is written:
"The recommended approach is to use an HTTP server like Oracle HTTP Server, Apache or Microsoft IIS to expose the directory to Oracle BIEE."
I don't know the reason for this, but after some performance problems with the customized UI, I would like to try out the recommended approach and use Apache Webserver. I'm not very familiar with Fusion middleware and I even don't understand what's meant with exposing a directory to Oracle BIEE. Does anyone know how to follow the recommendation an can help me?
Thanks in advance!
SebastianThanks for the helpful hint Deva.
But there is still the question why and how to use Apache or something else to "expose the directory to OBIEE", like mentioned in the whitepaper as the recommended way.
Does anyone know something about this? Is it just about configuring
<CustomerResourceVirtualPath>http://theWebserver:8080/analyticsRes</CustomerResourceVirtualPath>
for example?
Or do you think it doesn't matter anyway whether to use weblogic or something else for analyticsRes in a production environment?
Thanks.

Reg: Pagination option in OBIEE
Hi All,
Is there any way to acheive pagination in Pivot Table (OBIEE)??
We checked and it is not there...
I mean is there way if we add any tags in instance config file or so..or any other customization and get this done??
Thanks!
KrisI'm assuming you speak of downloading all the records regardless of what is viewed in the paginated table.
Create another pivot table view and this time use the pagination feature to display all the rows. Then use the View Selector to allow users to switch between the two pivot tables for printing eithre the rows of what they view or printing all the rows.
If you want the users to be able to select how many rows they would like to print, create a Dashboard prompt for number of rows. Then place a filter on the RCOUNT(1) column in your request set to the PV of your prompt.
P.S. If you want to award points, you need to click on the "correct" or "helpful" icon on the top right of the correct or helpful post. Just marking the thread answered doesn't award points. I believe Kishore gave you some helpful info and perhaps me as well, but that is your call. Good luck. -

Hi
I have a question
regarding the data
I have a string which has 49 characters in the db
but when we run a report the same string is showing like 48 characters
actually there was double space in db but its showing like one space in obiee report.
Do you know how obiee handles these situations?
Thanks
NKCan you confirm the same using Length function? If I'm not wrong it suppose to be as in db.
There wont be any difference for our eyes between a single space or double space in a string in bi report.
Update back. If helps pls mark

REG: OBIEE Load Completion Report
Hi all ,
I need to built OBIEE Load Completion Report using Usage Tracking Subject Area. So for this I imported two tables W_ETL_Def_Run, W_ETL_Step_run into the physical layer(Oracle Analytics Usage-- Usage Tracking). Both these tables are coming from OBISchema.
But other tables are coming from OBIAPP. So I created three connection pools i.e Usage Tracking Connection Pool, Usage Tracking Writer Connection Pool, DAC Connection Pool. For the first two connection pools I gave User as OBIAPP and for the last one I gave OBIschema. I am able to View data when click on the table in physical layer.(Right click and 'View Data' option)
I gave all the joins correctly as per the Requirement.
But when I try to build report using these tables... I am getting this errorr Insufficient privileges at OCI call OCIStmtExecute. [nQSError: 1701
Need Help...
Thanx in advance..You can check that if the oracle schema users used in the 3 connection pools, have the respective access/grants?
This has to do with the oracle connection user and grants on the tables for the oracle schema, it seems. -
Hi,
I am Learning OBIEE 10g.
I am working on writeBack option.
I got the error
The system is unable to read the Write Back Template 'wb'. Please contact your system administrator.
I created template wb as

</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
I Placed it in this path 'D:\OracleBI\web\msgdb\customMessages'
Granted the Privileges WRITE BACK TO DATABASE,MANAGE WRITEBACK to the user in ANSWERS.
Created the TABLE view with CHANNEL_ID,CHANNEL_CLASS_ID in ANSWERS.
Enabled WRITEBACK
with template wb
set the value interaction type=writeback with field size=16.
Any Solutions Please.
Thanks.can you try with a simple xml and test if your setup detects the template

<update>UPDATE table1 SET "column"='test'</update>
<insert> </insert>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
replace table name, connection pool and column name in context with your system and check if the writeback button is still greyed out.
