Regarding ibots in obiee 11g

Hi All,
i have got one requirement from client.
he wants the report in mail. for that i configured ibots.
but they want conditional ibot .
i have seen it but not able to understand since they want condition on the value of rows not on count of rows.
please help me how to create it.
Thankx
Manoj

Hi,
First about the functionality of the conditional request: On the conditional request tab of the iBot you can read:
Select a request which will trigger the current iBot. This request may be refined further by creating subquery filters. The iBot is considered triggered if the conditional request returns one or more rows
This means that the delivery content of the iBot will only be sent when the conditional request returns one or more rows.
Ex:-
scheduling the iBot: you can set the recurrence of the iBot to Monthly. This means that every month the iBot will be run.
So, what if you use a conditional request in your Monthly iBot? Every month it will first run the conditional request, when this conditional request will return rows, the iBot will be triggered and will sent the delivery content of the iBot, otherwise the delivery content won't be sent.
To make it more clear: this doesn't mean that once the conditional request is met, the iBot will be run monthly forever, but every month the results of the conditional request will be checked.
Hope it help's
Thanks,
Satya

How to use S A System subject area in OBIEE-11g
How to specify condition in Ibot of OBIEE-11GYou can use the SA System subject area after you set it up by following the documentation link provided below. It could be used in OBIEE Delivers which enables contact information, such as e-mail addresses to be retrieved from a database and used as delivery devices in Delivers instead of having the user's manually setup their own delivery device.
Here is the link to the documentation on how to setup SA system subject area in OBIEE 11g:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10541/sa_system.htm
You can set the condition in the condition tab which is the 3rd one I suppose.

Regarding ibot implementation in obiee 11g

Hi All,
i followed some links to configure ibots .
when i run it i get the error shown below.
AgentID: /users/weblogic/test_ibot

Userid and password that we use to connect to the SMTP server - in short ex- Microsoft Outlook
You may check this with your admin - if uid and pwd is really required to connect to your smtp - if not then like i said earlier- just follow the 2nd step from that blog.
Whenever you do a change in em - restart the BI services and test.

Regarding Security in OBIEE

Hi,
We have 4 regions like UK, India, US, Japan.. when ever UK users logins to OBIEE the dashboard should get defaulted to UK region and user should see UK reports only.
Similarly if a Japan, US users logins he should see reports corresponding to his region.
At present we have a prompt where user select the region from the prompt . How to implement the security for this..
Thanks

Hi,
Do the following steps and let me know if it was helpful:
1. Create a separate table say table1 which will contain the USERID and REGION columns.
Eg. User1 Region1
User1 Region2 and so on
2. Import the table in the physical layer. No need to create BM for it.Check in and save.
3.Go to Manage - Variables and create a Session - Initialization Block with connection pool pointing to above table and query as select 'REGION1' ,REGION from table1 where USERID=(':USER')
4. After the block is created go to Business Model and the table in which you want to implement the security.
Table - Sources - Content tab - add the following in the where clause
MAINTABLE.REGION IN (VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."REGION1"))
Save the rpd. Log in and check if it is working.

Regarding Authorization in OBIEE

Hello Experts,
I am having trouble rather confusion with Authorization in OBIEE. We have configured Authorization using external table and it is working fine.
Scenario is:
We have hierarchy like Senior Managers-> Horizontal Head->ORG Head-> Team Leads
I created their respective groups for each of them in RPD and in Presentations services.
Senior Manager Group (SR_Manager) has NO restrictions, all other 3 groups(Horz_Group, ORGH_Group, TL_Groups) have data level security they can view data for Process_ID aligned under them. This we are maintaining in external table.
My doubt comes in when a Senior Manager is member of other groups as well.
Let say ABC is Senior Manager as well as Horizontal Head and as a Horizontal Head his access is restricted to 5 Process_IDs.
My Doubt is shouldn’t ABC see all the data as he part of Senior Manager Group, Senior Manager Membership should supersede all other membership? As per documentation OBIEE should apply LEAST RESTRICTIVE PERMISSIONS?
Kindly suggest if my doubt is valid.
Thanks
Ankita

Hi Amith,
Thanks for your reply.
I would like to confirm from what you replied. You asked to change the scenario for our senior most group.
For our scenario, Sr_Manager group has no restrictions. Hence, all data should be viewable to members of this group. We have now kept all members belonging to Sr_Manager group to this group only and no other group membership has been provided. This works fine and is giving expected results.
I would like to bring this to notice that, this problem was not coming initially when all the groups had been created. Any member from Sr_Manager, belonging to other lower groups could view all data as per his least restrictive group membership. But, I am not sure why this is failing now.
Could you pls suggest any cause of this problem?

i have implemented navigation in 10 g in which on clicking one report it naviagate to another report also drilling down.

Just move to the criteria of the request and click required column by which you want to navigate. In the column properties of the request there is option naming INTERACTION in that option you will find "Add action link"-> BI content and then just select required request or the required dashboard page. it will navigate on it.

Doubt regarding joins in obiee

hi gems...
i have a doubt regarding BI analytics join.
When i have imported all the tables from my schema in the repository, then it got imported with all the joins defined in the database.
then i made several business models and create some reports.
there i got some errors, which are mainly due to self join in the tables and more than one joins between two tables.
my question is...are these two types of joins not supported in obiee???
and if i want more than one join condition between two tables, then what can i do???
thanks in advance...

Hi User,
OBIEE doesnot support self join. To avoid such circular joins ,make use of alias tables in the physical layer.The following is a list of the main reasons to create an alias table:
To reuse an existing table more than once in your physical layer (without having to import it several times.
To set up multiple alias tables, each with different keys, names, or joins.
To help you design sophisticated star or snowflake structures in the business model layer. Alias tables are critical in the process of converting ER Schemas to Dimensional Schemas

Regarding Ibots

Hi Gurus,
What is the use of ibot...? why we need to send the reports to there personal mail ids and mobiles they can access the reports from portal and internet.Even though in their mobiles also they can access the internet and see their reports why we need to send the alerts.
Can any one send how to configure the ibots and how we have to check weather report as reached to the destination.
Thanks,

OBIEE has a good feature called "Delivers" to send alerts or email notification to the users to alert them for specific Business condition for example how the sales are going whether they are going good or bad,Business people need some kind of alerts to know these conditions..In OBIEE by using Ibots(called as Agents in 11g)we can achieve this...
To know How to configure Ibots follw the blow URL...

Problem regarding Discoverer to OBIEE Migration

Hi,
I am trying Discoverer to OBIEE Migration by using simple apps tables for practicing purpose facing some issue here , so i would like to get help from you all experts.
The tables that used in .exx file are as follows:
        po_requisition_headers_all ,
        po_requisition_lines_all ,
        po_req_distributions_all ,
        po_distributions_all ,
        po_headers_all .
I have created .eex in Discoverer it contains above tables, using OBIEE migration utility I have migrated .exx file into the .rpd . Create a connection pool so physical table views the data in physical layer tables upto here i followed the following link :
Article: Migrating Oracle Discoverer Data to Oracle Business Intelligence 11g
when .eex is migrated into .rpd facing following problems:
1. The joins between the tables are not visible into the Physical Layer. So i need to create it manually or what?
2. About Hierarchy,Complex folders Hierarchies are not migrated as above link so I need to create it manually or what?
3.
    - Complex folders based on other complex folders are not migrated.
    - Summary folders are not migrated.
    -The system cannot migrate complex folders that are dimensions.
    -Hierarchies based on Complex Folders are not migrated.
So what are the steps that I need to follow to overcome this all.
Please reply me all or some points that you know or you already overcome this types of senario.
Thanks

Its the same as you'd get if you were creating the repository from scratch. Username: Administrator with no password.

You don't need to do something. The repository SH_PartTwo.rpd have already the join. The tutorial gives only the differences with the SH_PartOne.rpd.
The SH_PartTwo.rpd is in the SH.zip file.
