Setting Up Aggregate Navigation in OBIEE

Hello Guru's
Could somebody please tell me what is aggregate navigation and and how to configure it in OBIEE .
Thanks

Hi
Aggregate navigation is excellent technique to get the aggregate values in reports
you can check in this link which will completely explain the creation of aggregate table, setting up the aggregation & trouble shooting

How Aggregate Persistence works in OBIEE?
Once you are done choosing options in the Aggregate Persistence wizard, it generates an intelligent Query.
What query is it?
If you happen to understand the query, it is not like any ANSI standard SQL (I would say DDL) query. As you might have noticed there are no SQL Server datatypes, lengths, keys, constraints etc. This query can only be understood by the BI Server.
How do I issue this query?
Since the logical query could only be understood by BI Server, it has to be issued only to BI Server Engine using some tool viz NQCMD in this case.
What does issuing this query using NQCMD do?
The execution steps are as follows, the moment the query is issue via NQCMD
Aggregate Persistent Wiz Generate Query ----- Issued to ---> NQCMD ----- Passes the logical query to ---> BI Server ----- Parses the query ---> Builds the corresponding physical DDL statements Issued --->To the Database --- If successful ---> .RPD is automatically updated with the aggregated sources etc.
How do I pass the query to BI Server using NQCMD?
The format of issuing this logical query to BI Server using NQCMD is
nqcmd -d <Data Source Name> -u <Analytics UserId> -p <Password> -s <command> > output.log
where
<Data Source Name> : Is the DSN name which OBIPS uses to talk to Oracle BI Server. Yes, it's the very same DSN that can be found in InstanceConfig.xml
<Analytics UserID> : Any user in obiee with admin privileges.
<Password> : Password of the obiee UserId
<Command> : Logical SQL Command which you already have handy.
Hope I was good this time..

Need to hide popup menu while navigating in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
In OBIEE 11g we use Action Link to navigate to other BI component we can add multiple navigation targets as well.
Now my requirement is to hide the popup which gets displayed when we click on the value in a column. I want that popup not to appear if there is only one target report.
Also i want to make this change to all the reports, please help me out with a generic solution for this.
Thanks
Atul

Hi,
In the column properties-->Interaction-->check the below check box ' Do not display in a popup if only one action link is available at runtime '
Make this for all the individual target column.
And Yes, its a kind of issue everyone facing.
Award if this helped/ answered.

Regarding Navigation in obiee 11g

Hi All,
i have recently migrated from obiee 10g to 11g.
after migration the naviagation is not working.
i have implemented navigation in 10 g in which on clicking one report it naviagate to another report also drilling down.
but in 11g it is not happening.
please help me to solve this problem.

Please check the navigation is given properly or not.
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.

Use of Font Sets in CHM Navigation Pane

Hi everyone.
One of our product suites is going to be published for the first time using WebHelp Pro as its primary output but with a CHM file as a backup in case the client's internet connection fails or isn't present.
To cut a long story short we have setup a font set to use with our Webhelp Pro output that allows for both Windows and Apple Mac fonts. We have applied this to all our styles and are looking at other places where it can be used (e.g. skins). One of these is the Navigation Pane to be used in the CHM file. It seems like you can not use a font set when defining the font characteristics of the TOC and Index in the Advanced options of the Microsoft HTML Help single source layout.
I know this is not really a problem as CHM files are only designed to be run on Windows PCs and the Windows fonts we are using as part of the font set are 99.9% percent likely to be installed. However I am more interested in how the fonts inside the navigation pane works. The fact that you can't specify a font set (i've checked this in RH8 and RHX5) would seem to indicate that the font setting is part of the compiled file, rendering a font set unnecessary in this instance. Either that or it is an oversight.
Read the RoboColum(n).

Hi Colum
I stand to be corrected on this. Perhaps Pete Lees will pop in to confirm or deny.
I don't believe Font Sets are even necessary for .CHM files. As they are Windows only, I'm not sure Microsoft saw any need to provide for using them.
Cheers... Rick

Multiple Aggregate Tables in OBIEE

We are experiencing a funky issue with the use of aggregate tables. Unfortunately, I am not seeing any obvious way in the documentation or blogs to remedy this issue.
Leveraging the Aggregate Persistance Wizard we developed 2 aggregates for our data set.
1st is a monthly aggregate with a rollup data set and the 2nd is the daily aggregate with a more limited data set.
For a set of monthly queries and dashboards both aggregates will produce the correct results, but the monthly agg does it 10 times faster <5 sec. However, for some reason the BI Server is choosing the daily aggregate instead.
Any ideas on how we can force / hint for the BI server to use the monthly aggregate first if it can?Thanks,
Michael

The log, unfortunately, is to big to in its entirety, but here is the example of the queries that go against the daily aggregate as oppose to the monthly:

Setting HOMEPAGE for USERs, rolewise OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have OBIEE 11g Dashboards on top of an Essbase cube. I would like to have a default homepage set per user role.
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.

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 up Portal Navigation / Webflow

Hi,
it's the first time I work with Bea Portal,so I am a little disoriented.
Can you help me about Portal Navigation?
I'm not able to create a webflow that links an Html page to another one using
a button .(I'd just seen the official documentation).
Moreover, I don't know where the pages I created in my Portal are fisically saved
in the file system.
Thanks in advance,
Erika!

Hi,
As far as I know, the ability to set a WPC page as Home page for mobile devices is available only from SP9.

Aggregate Navigation

Experts,
I have 2 aggregated fact tables in my BMM layer. AggFact1 has client at base level and product at segment level. Aggfact2 has client at base level (same level as aggfact2) and product at total product level. Both these agg fact tables has other dimension at same levels. I have set the content level correctly for the LTSs.
My question is, if I need to create a report that has only Time period and Client, then what I need to configure in OBIEE such that it has it hit Aggfact2 as it has the necessary client information and fewer records compared to Aggfact1
Regards,
Sarvan

You can set Implicit Fact column from Aggfact2.

Setting up aggregate device

I'm trying to set up an aggregate device using 2 X Motu 828 MK 2 interfaces. ....Signal is present on the 1st interface and on the external sampler that the sound is coming from.
Midi signal also there but.......I can't actually hear any audio......I've checked the outputs in Motu audio setup/ Cuemix, etc....and signal is present.
I can't think of what else I've missed here to get this happening.
So close !!
Can anyone suggest what I've overlooked ?
Thx
