Hi Kalyan,
i referred this blog for adding tns entries for OBIEE 11g, for windows users.cmd has only one TNS_ADMIN, but in users.sh file there are many TNS_ADMIN and moreover all are are commented out, so i am not sure where and to what i should assign the path.
Thanks,

Setting Default Date in OBIEE 11g

Hi Gurus,
I defaulted today's date as default date in the dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10g. Now I did the same steps in 11g but i don't see the default dates on the dashboard prompt. I am wondering is setting the default date is different in 11g? I am using 11.1.1.6.0 version and i defined presentation variables on the report with START and END
Please advice
Regards
Edited by: 792011 on Jul 16, 2012 11:28 AM

Use sql query at Prompt->Option->Default selection"-> SQL Results
Ex:
SELECT max("Time"."Calendar Date")
FROM "Sample Sales Lite" WHERE "Time"."Calendar Date"<CURRENT_DATE

Set events parameter in oracle 11g for SAP

Hi All,
Recently we have upgraded 10.2.0.4 oracle database to 11.2.0.3 (AIX 7.1) for SAP application.
Some non-default event parameters were set when Database was running with 10.2.0.4 version. After upgrade to 11.2.0.3, those events were not seen in pfile/spfile. However, post_upgrade log shows that those events were set (and log displays the list of the events as well).
Now, my concern is whether those event parameters were set already by default (if it is already set after upgrade, not sure why pfile not reflecting them) or do I need to set the parameters manually.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Regards,
Prakash

Yes, they seem to be part of the upgrade itself, and SAP seems to set them in multiple places:
1) During the dbua.sap.sh run, post-processing calls custom scripts which set these events (check the CustomScript.log in $ORACLE_BASE/cfgtoollogs/dbua/SID/upgrade1 and you can see where it is set)
2) The post_upgrade_status.sql script in $ORACLE_HOME/sap/ora_upgrade/post_upgrade sets them when you run it as directed after the upgrade
3) The SBP post-patch instructions specify a command to run that sets these in the spfile
I don't think any of the upgrade steps regenerate the pfile, so if you're looking at one you generated pre-upgrade (like I did earlier today to pull out underscore parameters and user/background_dump_dest) that you then used to startup the database, SAP is definitely changing stuff behind your back. I'd just regenerate the pfile to avoid confusion.

In OBIEE 11G, how to get the special parameter created by JAVA?

Hi Experts,
In OBIEE 11G, how to get the special parameter created by JAVA?
For example:
In JAVA , it has set one parameter named 'test'.
So how to get the parameter in filter area in OBIEE?

Hi Kobe,
No P2 holds the parameter name like PresentationTable.ColumnName, in your form you may go for complete name or just column name and before submitting the form you can define the Action url.
I would suggest to read section 6.3.2.1.
ex:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
changeAction(url) {
var TestVar = form.inputbox.value;
document.this_form.action="saw.dll?Go&Path=/Shared/Test/SB2&Action=Navigate&P0=1&P1=like&P2=Customers.Region&P3="+TestVar;
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM NAME="myform" ACTION="" METHOD="GET">Enter something in the box: <BR>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="inputbox" VALUE=""><P>
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="button" Value="Click" onClick="changeAction(this.value)">
</FORM>
If helps pls mark.

I checked FMW_SECURITY_SERVICE_URL parameter in the NQSConfig.ini file.
This parameter is using VIP (admin server listen to this) and not the actual IP of the server.
Should I change this URL and point it to actual IP.
What is the procedure to change this parameter using EM?

Setting HOMEPAGE for USERs, rolewise OBIEE 11g

Hi,

I have followed the below link: http://obieeelegant.blogspot.fi/2011/06/how-to-changing-theobiee11g-homepage.html , which suggests to have two tables in the database.
But how do I capture the User ids in this case. My security model has got Nested Groups and Nested Roles.
Any suggestion on how to proceed, please.

Content level setting in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
i am new to obiee 11g.i have an doubt in setting up the content level setting in BMM layer.i have given details level in fact LTS content tab with help of physical join,i dont get any error but while trying to generate reports i am getting an error "None of the fact table is compatible with the requested level".where i am commiting mistake,do i need to set content llevel based on physical join or logical join scenario.kindly help regarding this.
thanks in advance!
Edited by: Nandha on 10 Jan, 2012 10:55 PM

Hi Nanda,
We set the content level of logical source based on the granularity of the source.
Say, a product hierarchy is like
Category -> Sub Category -> Product
Say one of your dimensions has Product information, for this source set the level as 'Product'
Say there is an aggregated source which has Category information, set the source level as 'Category'.
Hope this helps you to set your levels.
Thank you,
Dhar

OBIEE 11g: Bugs Fixed in 11.1.1.6.5 Patch Set

Hello, I have a question about the patches that apply.
I have installed the product BI Publisher Enterprise 11g (11.1.1.6.0)
I detected a bug:
bug 13791065 - UNGROUP OF A SUBGROUP WITH AN EXPRESSION DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY
This bug was fixed in OBIEE 11g: Bugs Fixed in 11.1.1.6.5 Patch Set
¿could apply this patch to version BI Publisher Enterprise? Because this patch cotent the fix bug 13791065
I think not because,...this patch only apply in OBIEE Enterprise 11g and I have BIP Enterprise 11g
Patch 14630670: UPDATE FOR BI PUBLISHER ENTERPRISE 11.1.1.6.X SEPTEMBER 2012 is the last patch for me?
This latest version does not contain the bug fix 13791065.
thank you very much

Thanks Daniele for the reply,
I believe the 11.1.1.4 was released but only in OTN, not for everyone (I'm not 100% sure about this...) . However I know that a certain bug (9973004) was solved in 11.1.1.4, and this bug does not appear in the 11.1.1.5 list. That could happen with many other bugs, they could be solved in 11.1.1.4 but not appear in any list.
Thanks again!

Setting up OBIEE 11G Marketing Segmentation pointing to dual CRM apps

We like to bring into another CRM app into our OBIEE 11 single instance. Currently we already have one set up with Marketing Segmentation. We would like to bring another CRM app into this single instance of OBIEE. My question is, can we configure our single instance of OBIEE 11g to mulitple CRM app running Marketing Segmentation?

1) I deleted bridge-utils, netcfg
2) I edited /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf:
interface=wlan0
#bridge=br0
edited /etc/dnsmasq.conf:
interface=wlan0
dhcp-range=192.168.0.2,192.168.0.255,255.255.255.0,24h
and edited /etc/rc.local:
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig wlan0 up
3) I added in autostart these daemons: hostapd, dnsmasq and iptables.
Profit!

How to set the First Day of the week in OBIEE 11g

In OBIEE 10g, there was a timeline.pcxml , that allowed you to change the First Day of a week (Default Sunday) to monday etc etc..
Where can we find the same in OBIEE 11g ?
Thank you ,
Smrithy

There are probably several ways. We have a universe string object named "Month" which is in the format "YYYY" then "M" and the month number. For instance any date in June 2010 would have in this object:
2010M06
So we made this variable in Webi for [First Day of Month]:
=ToDate(Right([Query1].[Month];2) + "-01-" +Left([Query1].[Month];4);"MM-dd-yyyy")
Hope that helps.

How to set width of a prompt in OBIEE 11g?

Hi,
We have recently upgraded to OBIEE 11G.
In 10g all our prompts were fine. After upgrade, the prompts look distracted. All the prompts are Choice Lists.
The width of the prompts is varying depending on the width of the values that are coming from the DB.
Our requirement demands fixed width for the prompts. Is there any way to do it!!
Thanks!!
