Row-Wise GROUP init block isn't creating the variable

Hi,
I have an Init Block to set the GROUP variable using row-wise initialization. When I log into Answers with a user, and then check the session variables from Admin Tool, I don't see the GROUP variable anywhere. It seems like the init block is not creating it.
I have execution precendence set up the way it should be. I have the groups created in both RPD and Presentation Services. Below is my simple query to try to get it to work:
SELECT 'GROUP', 'OFFICER' FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'GROUP', 'SUPERVISOR' FROM DUAL
Any ideas?
Thanks

Yes I saw the query in the log, it was successful. I added a simple request to a dashboard to display the value of GROUP, and it seems to be working correctly from there. Do the row-wise variables not show up in Admin tool session monitor?

Getting error while creating the variable of Schema Element type

Hi everybody,
For creating a variable of schema element type I am doing the following steps...
Select 'Variables' after right clicking on bpel process. IN this window, go to 'Create VAriable' then select 'Element' type. Now in Type Choose, I expanded the my imported schema files. And selected a element type, then click ok to create this variable... I am getting the message...
IN ORDER TO SAVE IMPORTED WSDL/SCHEMA FILES, YOU MUST HAVE A PARTNER LINK LOCATED UNDER THE CURRENT PROJECT DIRECTORY.
What is mean by that.
I have imported the schema files in project. AFter that I have imported them into the WSDL also. Now why I am getting error while creating the variable. However I can create variable directly in .BPEL file then everything is fine. And it is working also. But what is mean with the above error? Why I am not able to create variable through GUI?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have this same problem this morning, and I was going crazy, until I found this webpage on the internet:
[http://technology.amis.nl/blog/1803/problem-importing-xml-schema-in-bpel-process|http://technology.amis.nl/blog/1803/problem-importing-xml-schema-in-bpel-process]
The idea is that the jdeveloper is not very good working with directories with spaces on the directory name. If you move all your work to a directory without spaces, it will work smoothly. At least, it had worked for me.

Unable to create the Variable icon which shows Less than or equal to

Hi Experts,
when we create a variable normally will get a icon of the variable which say equal to symbol on the varaible icon. Hope everybody know that.
Now how can we change that variable icon to less than or equal.
Please can you provide me that information.
Thanks alot !

hi,
when you are trying to restrict the char select range values instead of variable.
then select the operator type (less than, greate than etc) and in place of value select variable and then give the variable name.
regards,
Arvind.

WAD - How to create the variables to have the selection criteria

Hi all,
I am trying to display a BW Statistics query in 'Chart' with Web Application Designer (WAD). I want to have the selection criteria with variable USER ID ('ABC123'), Info Cube ('Z_FIGL_C01') and Time Period '01/01/2005' to '12/31/2005'. How can I have this selection criteria in Web Application Designer, PLEASE ?.
Thanks.

Venkat,
Yes, It's possible.
I think in the menu options.. there tools--> create Table(it's not Table Web Item web item). May be similar option. we need to create the Table. Right now i don't have the system. you need to keep the 2 Drop Down Boxes in the Table(in the 2 coloumns).
All the best.

Does Row Wise Initialised block effects the performance of OBIEE 10.1.3.2.0

Hi,
I am trying to implement the security in my application using row wise initialisation block. Could any one help me with below mentioned doubts:
1) Does it effect the performance of the OBIEE server.
2) Cons with row wise initialisation block used for implementing security which uses Oracle customise function in it. this initialisation block is been created for implementing 2 level security.
Thanks
Savita

Savita,
Answers to your questions are as follows:
*1) Does it effect the performance of the OBIEE server.*
No. This is part of the Oracle BI Repository modeling process for Oracle BI 10g.
*2) Cons with row wise initialisation block used for implementing security which uses Oracle customise function in it. this initialisation block is been created for implementing 2 level security.*
There really aren't any cons. To get the security you are seeking row-wise security in Oracle BI 10g is the route you must take. In addition, this process is used widely in Oracle BI 10g for numbers of consecutive users and total users/groups in an LDAP or security group table ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands with nothing but success. So, don't worry about implementing this as your implementation will be sound by configuring row-wise security.

Row wise Initialization - "Session Variable has no value Definition"

Hi,
I have gone through other posts relating to this error, but could not find a solution.
I have defined an initialization block with 'Data Source' as SELECT 'TEST_VARIABLE', cost_center from XX_COST_CENTER.
In the 'Edit Data Target', i have selected the 'Row Wise Initialization' option.
When i 'Test' this initialization block, using the 'Test' button, i get the exected output, with all the different Cost Centers being defined.
However, in the Presentation Services when i add a column and change its formula to VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.TEST_VARIABLE), i get an error
+[nQSError: 23006] The session variable, NQ_SESSION.TEST_VARIABLE, has no value definition.+
Would appreciate some input, to check if i have missed any steps, or am doing something wrong
Thanks & Regards,
Ab

Hi,
Error is caused because no value is returned from the sesision variable for the logged in user, you may check the NQquery.log file to see if the initblock was successfull and if that returned any rows, try setting default value in the session variable
It might also happen when
1. You created the variable as Repository variable in RPD and referring as session variable in Answers
2. It may also happen when you are referring the Session variable Name wrongly in Answers. E.g "Current Week" in RPD (2 Words) and CurrentWeek in Answers (Single word).
Try to use the same letter case for the name of the variable (upper and lower).
Hope this helps.

How to display the data in row wise in smartform

Hi,
    I have to make a modification a smartform of poprinting and i want to display the row wise . At present it is displaying the
    column wise. Actually there is a text which i want to display the data row wise.
    It is possible to display the data in row wise of the text .
Edited by: nav009 on Oct 8, 2009 10:39 AM

Hello ,
I assume that your requiremen is related to smartform.the below is the solution i suggest.
As per my understanding of your requirement ,It's clear that as of now there is some description field which is also getting displayed along with other PO fields.
However you would like to display the description field in a new line since the length of this field is longer than other fields as a result the data is getting scattered .
Therefore one better option could be: since the whole data from PO would be in a loop you can display all other fields in one line type of the table as per the intial requirement and you display the description line alone in a new line type wth the desired length so that data would not be scattered and no data loss would happen.
I assume you are aware of creating of line types for table.
Thanks

After the Data Collector is created, and I run it by right clicking it and select "collect and upload now", it isn't creating the custom_snapshot table that it should create????? PLease what am I doing wrong????

Can you please fix your query? . I was getting Divide by Zero error. you need to check if SUM(page_count) is 0, and replace it with non-zero value

Repository variable and Init block

I created an Init block that is based off of a sql command in which the command is designed to give me the max date a table was updated after a data load. Well the variable I created based off of this has a timestamp of today's date. I want to create a report on the front end (actually just a column) that updates when a load has been completed. I use this (TIMESTAMPDIFF ( SQL_TSI_MINUTE, VALUEOF(“LAST_UPDATE_DATE”)), CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)) for the column formula but I'm either running into errors or getting nothing at all.
OBIEE 11.1.1.5
Please Advise

Hey......long time but here it is. So I created an init block called Last_update_date and had it query a db table that automatically updates when a data load is complete. I set a variable with the current timestamp. Well When the table loads the variable locks in that time of the load. On the front end I referenced the table in an expression and created a report around it. I did a timestamp diff b/t current time and the time the init block locked in for the load, and called it ETL update column. I created an agent that starts a purging/caching cascade with the ETL update report as the condition.
Thanks

Handling errors in OBIEE init block

Hi,
Is there a way to catch an error in the execution of an init block? Looks like the only way to figure out that the query for the initialization block has failed is by looking at NQServer.log and there is otherwise no alert or indication that some failure has occurred at all.
I would like to be able to alert an administrator as soon as an init block query fails.
thanks.
Edited by: srrao on Nov 24, 2010 2:19 PM

You can do some "insert or update" in the init block or use DB triggers to catch fails. select user_name from table(orabi_auth(:USER)) Orabi_auth inserts information about logged user in DB and returns logged user name, so I can analyse it later.

Init Block for Dynamic Repository Variables

I have defined an Init Block in the RPD. I see that you can set the refresh intervals via a schedule that is a set time. I want to be able to trigger this Init Block once my ETL process has completed. Is there a way to externally trigger the Init Blocks ?

We faced the same problem and I am sorry to say that OBIEE does not support this feature. There is no way to trigger a repository variable refresh from outside OBIEE. In the end we decided to set the refresh interval to 2 mins. This means that when new data is loaded then at most the variables will take 2 mins to refresh. We use repository variables to to store the latest business date our DWH has data for to drive dashboard and reports. Our Init Block query is very quick and while are constantly asking the DB the same query Oracle caches it's results so the bverhead is near to nothing.

RegardsI'm going to take a shot and guess that you meant a total shows up only if there are values for each column. I am further going to guess that the example you gave is what you'd like to see, not what is actually going on. If so, then you need to modify your measure like this:
IFNULL(measurecolumn, 0)
Then you will get a sum even if one of you columns is null.

Whats the best way to create USER variable in BI Apps?

I have just installled BI Apps and am trying to integrate EBS R12 with OBIEE 11g
We have USER variable already defined in the BI Apps rpd.
In EBS Security context init block i need to define USER variable, but when i define it... it says *'USER' has already been defined in the variable "Authentication"."USER"*
Whats the best way to create USER variable for EBS Security Context init block?
1) Delete the existing USER variable and then define a new one ( in this case all the places where USER variable is getting used in the rpd would become <missing>)
And i was told that it should not be done.
Let me know how can it be done.
Thanks
Ashish

Disable existing Init block and then double click on USER variable and hit on NEW... button to create new Init block
Thanks

Local calendars group disappeared - problem with saving in the local calendars group

Hello, I have been working with calendars. I wanted to add a new calendar to the iCloud calendars group or to local calendars ("On my iPhone").
I found that when I am switching off the iCloud for calendars, the iCloud calendar group disappears and don't create the local storage ("On my iPhone"). I did exactly the same on the iPhone 4S, and it created the local group. I don't know why it is different on iPhone 5, especially as I was using iOS 7.1 on both.
Has anyone else had this problem before? Do you know how to restore my calendar to the local storage?
Thanks for help.

Solved this:
Turns out that we now require at least "List" permissions for "Everyone" for the root of the partition where the User profiles reside.
This was not the case on our previous images.
Hopes this helps someone else.
