Rename presentation layer catalog

Hi,
I have renamed the presentation layer catalog in RPD. When I am seeing the dashboard all the reports are getting displayed but when I see the individual reports I am getting :"Either you do not have permission to use the subject area X within Answers, or the subject area does not exist" on the left side of the report.Can anyone tell me how can we rename the presentation layer catalog with individual reports not showing the above statement?
Thanks and Regards,
Amrit

Option 1 :
use the rename wizard ( tols-> utility-> rename wizard) to change the name of presentation catalog
option 2 :
go to answers of that report->go to advance tab
under
Enter the name of the Subject Area : write the new subject area

Rename columns in Presentation layer

Hi Experts,
I Have one BMM layer table with 2 groups columns like
BMM Table
Sales
Revenue
Sum
Sales_ B Group
Revenue_ B Group
Sum_ B Group
Now I want to show these columns in two tables i.e. A table and B table with same column names in presentation layer as below:
Presentation A table Presentation B table
Sales Sales
Revenue Revenue
Sum Sum
In BMM layer it should be Sales_ B Group but in presentation table it should show as Sales as vice verse for other 2 columns for B group columns
If I rename Sales_ B Group as Sales in BMM layer it won’t accept because already sales column is there my requirement is in BMM layer in should as Sales_ B Group but in presentation layer the same column it should show as Sales .

Hi Rafi,
Can you right click on your presenatation layer and create a new presentation table (EG: Table A) -- and then move the columns from bmm layer and rename them as per your req.
Now right click again.. create one more Pres. table (EG: Table B) -- and then move the columns from bmm simply drag and drop and rename as per your req.
Thank you.

Copy Businss Model and Presentation Layer Objects

Hi,
We have an environment whereby there is a Development DB and a Production DB.
I have built a model around the dev. DB and created answers requests. How Do I copy the model within the same repository and rename it and copy the answers requests to a different folder and use them as "Production" Answers Requests.
The rename wizard provided by Oracle only helps to Rename the Presentation Catalog.
Thx,
rkingmdu

It seems you are using one OBIEE server to host your Dev and Prod environments. That's certainly not a good idea (as Stijn says) and will not work. Answers requests are linked to a Subject Area and specific fields on that subject area. A subject area is basically a folder in your Presentation layer of the RPD. So a SA is always linked to an RPD. You are not goind to be able to achieve complete separation with a single OBIEE server. And no, it's not correct that a BI server can connect to one RPD, you can have a BI Server connecting to many RPDs. While is not supported to have multiple Presentation Services in the same server, you can have more Presentation Services on other servers that use other RPDs.

Issue adding a new column to OBIEE presentation layer

Hi,
I am pretty new to OBIEE so this may be a silly question. I am facing some problems trying to add a new column from a physical table the OBIEE presentation layer.
Below are the steps I followed:
Task: add a product category set to the presentation layer.
Steps:
1) First verified that the product category set is being populated in the W_PROD_CAT_DH table in the datawarehouse. this was done by running the following sql
SELECT W_PROD_CAT_DH.TOP_LVL_PRODCAT_NAME
FROM W_PROD_CAT_DH, W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D
WHERE W_PROD_CAT_DH.integration_id = W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D.INV_PROD_CAT1
This sql gave the right category value.
2) created a "Alias" of the table W_PROD_CAT_DH in the OBIEE Admin tool physical layer. (done by right clicking W_PROD_CAT_DH >>New Object>> Alias)
3) named the Alias of W_PROD_CAT_DH as "Dim_W_INV_MKT_CAT" and created a key of the alias named "integration id" on the column "integration_id"
4) opened the pre-existing alias of W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D the alias was called "Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D" and added a key called "MKT_CAT" on the column "INV_PROD_CAT1" in this alias (Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D of the table W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D)
5) in the alias of the "W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D" called "Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D" added a "Foreign Keys" the expression of the key is following: ("Oracle Data Warehouse"."Catalog"."dbo"."Dim_W_INV_MKT_CAT"."INTEGRATION_ID" = "Oracle Data Warehouse"."Catalog"."dbo"."Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D"."INV_PROD_CAT1")
Logical layer
6) Opened the existing logical folder called "Dim - Inventory Product" and clicked on "Sources" tab then double clicked the source "Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D" and added a new mapping under "Map to these tables" under "General" tab. The column that was added was the physical alias "Dim_W_INV_MKT_CAT"
7) added a new column mapping to the same logical table source (Dim_W_Inventory_PRODUCT_D) this new mapping was a column from the alias "Dim_W_INV_MKT_CAT" (column name "TOP_LVL_PRODCAT_NAME")
Presentation Layer
8) dragged the newly added column (TOP_LVL_PRODCAT_NAME) from the logical layer "Dim - Inventory Product" to the presentation layer "Product" folder.
ISSUE
after adding everything and checking global consistency and save and checking-in my work when i login from the front end presentation services. I see the newly added column is showing under the "Product" folder. on dragging the column by itself to the Ad-Hoc analysis I can see the different values of the category. On adding a second column from the same logical folder (Dim - Inventory Product in logical layer) i still see the right product name and corresponding category. BUT when I drag any other column from any other folder (such as "Day" from "Time" or any fact values) the result does not fetch any data (message: The specified criteria didn't result in any data.)
I am not sure if I am missing any step but I know I am mapping the new table alias to the inventory_product_d since i see right results on creating analysis of columns in those two folders. but no other folders give me any data.
I also know that the logical folder "Dim - Inventory Product" is joined with other tables as I can see results when i do not add the newly added catagory column but other folder and other columns of "Dim - Inventory Product"
I would really appreciate any insight to this very much. we are using OBIEE 11.1.1.6 with the Oracle 11.5.10 Adaptor (SDE_ORA11510_Adopter)
I will try to upload some screenshots if needed but presently not sure if its something really simple.

Unable to drop BMM Dimension to Presentation Layer

The BMM Dimension is based on Location_D. At first level I have country (1attribute of location_d) and is made as a key for first level. At second level I have state (also as key & 2 attribute of location_d) The preferred drill down path at first level is pointed to second level.
When I try to drop dimension to Presentation layer, it doesnt allow. I do not get any errors during consistency check.
I am using OBIEE10g on a Windows XP system.
Is there anything that is wrong?
Regards,
Prem.

If you are creating a Presentation catalog based on BMM then, mouse right click on Presentation layer and create manually and drag and drop from BMM.
If your case is adding column to existing Presentation catalog's Presentation table; See the related BMM to that Presentation catalog, you may use mouse right click and Related to.
If these are not helping send me rpd with details to my email I do it for you.

Presentation Layer column name change effects on existing reports ?

Hello Gurus,
I have one requirement where user are not sure about the column names in Presentation Layer.
so they want us to create the reports and once the reports are delivered they will give us the column name as per their requirement.
now i read couple of blogs related to this, that does it affects the exiting reports?
in couple of blogs they says that i won't. becaus BI server creates the alias for the old name and will reflects it wherever it's used in reports..
So can anyone tell me where this alias name has been stored in OBIEE?
and is there any precaution that needs to be done while doing this beacuse we are expecting to create around 40-50 reports and changing the column name after changing the presentation layer name change will increase lots of work..
Thanking You..

I've confirmed it on a 10g environment that when you rename the column in the RPD the existing reports reflect the change.
What I was referring to in the statement you highlight is that a column name can be changed when being used as the definition of a report. If somebody specifies an abbreviation of the current name to fit it in a table or chart then it will not be updated from a name change in the RPD.
So long as you build reports using the name provided by the RPD and none of the developers take the liberty of renaming it in the column properties of the request/analyses the single rename should take effect through all the reports you build.
You can also manage the column name by renaming it in a report and using the save as system wide default. But the way you intend to do it would be the best method.

Reordering the presentation layer in BI Server repository

Is there a way to re-order the presentation layer in the BI server repository? Currently if I add something new to a table in a subject area - it is always placed at the bottom. Also, if I add a whole new table - it is also placed at the bottom. I then have to remove everything below where I want it - and add it back. It seems like there must be an easier way! Any help is most appreciated.

I figured there is something, and I know it sounds dumb, but i've looked everywhere - and no up or down buttons. On right click I have rename... I am in the Administrator tool for the repository.

Renaming presentation colums

hi,
i m renaming exiting columns in presentation ie in repository
i would like to know
if they are present in any of reports it will definitely effect it so how to find out and resolve it

Hi,
i will explain it further
1)If you rename columns in RPD, then it will create an alias for that presentation column.If you double clcik the column you have renamed in presentation layer,you will see alias tab.Under this you will see the alias being created.This wll help in avoiding existing reports to function properly
2)If you go to Answers and look for the column that you have renames it will show the new name that you have given.
Now my question is are users have access to RPF because they will be able to see that alias only in RPD.If you want to change the heading of column you can chang it manually.
Thanks

Alias in Presentation Layer

Hi Experts
I want to know about aliases in presentation layer ..and how to use them..
Regards
f

Hi,
Aliases at the presentaiton layer simply mean that a table or columns can be referenced by more than one name. In the past I have mainly used them when I have changed the name of a presentaiton table or column and wanted old reports which referenced the old column name to continue working without changes.
So for example.
Logical table: "Table1"
Logical column: "Column1
Due to a change the column is renamed to "Column2". If you then include an alias for this column called "Column1" then any reports built which reference "Column1" will still work even though the column name has been changed, because the alias still references it.
Regards,
Matt

Accessing the presentation layer

Does anybody know how to access the presentation layer using a tool other than the OBIEE front end? What if I wanted to query the presentation layer from Excel or SQL Developer. Does anyone know how to do that?

You need to use the ODBC connection. OBI Presentation Dashboard use it and Excel also.
Here an example how to access the presentation catalog from Excel :

And here how to set up the ODBC :

How can I import db column comments into the OBIEE presentation layer?

We have a very well designed data mart - it is a star schema and all the fact and dimension table columns have comments in them with their definition and use. There is virtually no change required in the physical or business layer. The only modifications done in the presentation layer was to hide the Pk/Fk columns.
Is there a way to import these column comments into the presentation layer so that the business user can see this comment in the tool tip while hovering over the presentation column in Answers?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I assume the comments you mean are stored in user_tab_comments and user_col_comments.
When this is the case you should do the following:
Go to your subject area in your presentation layer. For now I assume the name of this subject area is "Subject Area".
Then right click on this subject area and check "Externalize Descriptions".
Then create an initialization block (session) using this query:
(select 'CD_Subject_Area_' || table_name, comments from user_tab_comments)
union all
(select 'CD_Subject_Area_' || table_name || '_' || column_name, comments from user_col_comments)
Use "Row-wise initialization" for this initialization block.
Two comments:
1) Like I said, I assume Subject Area is the name of your subject area in your presentation layer, so I guess you need to replace this with the name of your Subject Area.
But be sure that you replace each space ' ' with an underscore '_'.
2) Maybe you need to refine above querys by filtering on table_name for those table_names you are using.
Good luck.

Stijn

Hiding columns in Presentation Layer, but still accessible in a report.

Hi BI Devs,
I have a question on how to hide certain columns in the presenation layer but still make them available in a dashboard/report.
We have 3 sections in our Presenatation Layer...section_a, section_b, section_c. We have two groups created, group_max and group_lite. Group_max will have access to all the sections in the presentation layer but group_lite will only have access to section_a and section_b
We have a report in a dashboard (lets call it full_dashboard) that contains columns from section_a, section_b and section_c. We want all users (group_max and group_lite) to have access to the report, run the report and return data.
Our requirement is that the group_lite will not have access to the section_c in "Answers".
When we set the permissions in the RPD for the different sections, the permissions work correctly in hiding the section_c from group_lite, but when they run the report full_dashboard, the report errors out for group_lite users.
Is there a way to grant access to the group_lite users so that they can run full_dashboard but still deny them access to the columns in Answers?

Here is my thinking about duplicationg the section_c
1. If i duplicate section_c, it will still be visible to group_lite in the presenation layer.
2. If i duplicate section_c, i will have to change the dashboard (a very complex one too) to point to the duplicated section. How will I be able to hide the duplicated section?
I am just not sure how to hide section_c from the group_lite users and still have the reports in the dashboard access the columns, without having to change the report.

Usage of LOCALE in Localization of Presentation Layer metadata

Hi,
This is about usage of LOCALE in Localization of Presentation Layer metadata.
The value of WEBLANGUAGE variable can be directly passed to the initialization block (2nd Initialization block ) which contains the sql:
select SESSION_VARIABLE, TRANSLATION from external where LANGUAGE = ‘VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.LOCALE)’
So that, it comes to have the below sql:
select SESSION_VARIABLE, TRANSLATION from external where LANGUAGE = ‘VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.WEBLANGUAGE)’
This avoids the need of using extra Initialization Block for LOCALE variable.
Is there is any need to use and initialize LOCALE ?

Be careful: when timed for the rest of the project, to have them visible everywhere normally you put it On top. But in this case, that will mean they'll be on top of the Lightboxes. I have been presenting about lightboxes once, maybe I should write it down in a blog post.

If you want to send some text as Body of the Mail then follow this once
when u r callin the FM'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'.. points to remember
1.u have to pass the body of content in table CONTENTS_TXT(ia m using I_OBJBIN) (each line a record) then. suppose i have appended 11 records to the table CONTENTS_TXT .
2.PACKING_LIST(iam usign I_OBJPACK) table u ahve to append a redord as follows
I_OBJPACK-TRANSF_BIN = ' '.

append I_OBJPACK-.
by the above code system treat the first line in table I_OBJBIN as header and the 2nd line to 10 lines tread as body.
