Sizing OBIEE

Does anyone have a way to measure the size of OBIEE analyses and BI Publisher reports? ...analogous to SLOC -Source lines of code , in other technologies.

It depends on how many concurrent users, how often they do stuff (queryies per hour), how heavy is the stuff they do(how much data a query will read and how much data it needs to scan)?
The Oracle I/O Calibration Tool (Orion) may help. This simulates a oracle database data warehousing workload so you can measure how much load your platform can take. All you have to do then is work out how much 100 or 200 of your users might use.

  • OBIEE 11G Hidden Sections Taking Up Space and Skewing Dashboard Alignment

    Hi OBIEE Experts,
    I'm hoping someone can help me out with this. I am using a dashboard prompt to hide sections within an OBIEE Dashboard. Everything is working and functioning as I wanted, except for the Dashboard/Section alignment. The sections and their content are hiding depending upon the result of the Dashboard Prompt, but even though they are hiding they are taking up space on the Dashboard. In my Dashboard I have this basic layout:
    _____________________COLUMN 1_____________________
    _______COLUMN 2_______ _______COLUMN 3_______
    COLUMN 2 contains my Dashboard Prompt that hides/unhides the sections in COLUMN 3. COLUMN 3 has 9 different sections in it, with only one section showing at a time based on the Dashboard Prompt. The Section Headers are set to show for each of these 9 sections.
    The problem is coming in that if a user selects the Prompt value that activates the section highest in the Dashboard Layout (Section position 1 in COLUMN 3), the dashboard aligns correctly. The Section Header for the Dashboard Prompt Section in COLUMN 2 is perfectly aligned with the shown section in COLUMN 3. However, if a user selects a prompt value that triggers any section other than the highest to be shown, the alignment gets off. It is especially bad and noticeable when you get to the lowest section in COLUMN 3.
    I have attached screen shots (data blacked out) that demonstrate this problem.
    - http://kathrynlwatson.com/Dashboard%20Layout.png Shows the Dashboard Layout
    - http://kathrynlwatson.com/Selected%20Subject%20Area%20-%20Topographies.png Shows the Dashboard and Alignment when the Top Section in the Layout for COLUMN 3 is shown. This alignment is correct.
    - http://kathrynlwatson.com/Selected%20Subject%20Area%20-%20Patient%20Demographics.png Shows the Dashboard and Alignment when the Bottom Section in the Layout for COLUMN 3 is shown. This alignment is incorrect.
    Does anyone have any tips for how to correct for this? I have set the format in all sections to have 0 padding all around. I have also tried putting each section in different columns, but that encounters the same problem, with the alignment being affected horizontally rather than vertically. Any help will be very much appreciated!

    Well try using percent for all sizing for all columns like (50% width, 30% height..etc). You need to play around to get the closest match. Also, try using blank sections for extra padding with fixed %sizes

  • OBIEE Production Environment - Should it be made Private or Public?

    I am interested to know whats the best practice for OBIEE Production environment's firewall setup? I feel it should be behind the firewall on private space, but i am having to convince my networking folks to make it private instead of public? But i dont know if this opens a different set of issues. In reality, OBI PRD should only be accessed by internal staff and not outsiders.
    Could someone provide any supporting documentation related to this topic?
    Thanks!

    See this PDF:
    http://www.peakindicators.com/media_pi/BI+EE+Architectures+and+Sizing.pdf
    The safest deployment would be to have the BI Server in your intranet, your Presentation Services Plug-In in the DMZ and a firewall between the two.

  • Shocking - OBIEE 11.1.1.5 Ram Usage

    Hi Experts,
    I have installed OBIEE 11.1.1.5 on Windows server 2008 R2 having 4GB RAM and i3 3.0 GHZ Intel Processor on 64 bit machine , and it uses physical memory upto 96% most of the time when my all services are up..
    please suggest is ther some problem or shall i increase my RAM or is ther any way to reduced the RAM usage..
    Cheers
    Ankit

    Ankit,
    This is normal behaviour by 11g on your configuration. 4Gb is the minimum requirement. To make it more efficient, get your RAM sized increased and you will see the difference.
    Hope this is useful..

  • Dashboard visiting error when using OBIEE IPAD client

    Hi，
    When I using IPAD client of OBIEE to visit the OBIEE dashboard(OBIEE11.1.1.5),always the first page can show us correctly,but when I change the dashboard page,the dashboard will show error , but all those pages were showed correctly in PC.
    erroe message as follow:
    Error 500--Internal Server Error
    From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol--HTTP/1.1
    10.5.1 500 Internal Server Error
    The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
    Any one know it?
    Thank you in advance.

    There are several reasons this problem may occur. jkuhns nailed one -- another reason is if you're tying to make videos too large for the device. The maximum resolution the iPad supports for video is 1080p. Please make sure you're using something sized correctly and H.264 encoded.

  • Advantages/limitation using OBIEE/MAUI version..

    Hi
    What are the advantages going for OBIEE/MAUI version? at the same time are there any tool level limitations?
    I am new to Siebel Analytics area...
    Any document which lists these will be of great help..
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Krishna,
    Before I proceed, just to clarify your point 3 "Adding the new columns in the table ( It can be added at any place )" - yes columns can be added at any place within the CDS as you are just editing the definition file, but unless you effectively drop the entity (table) by removing entity definition, activate and then restore to rebuild table, any newly added columns will be added to end of table irrespective of position in CDS entity.
    SPS6 Core Data Services - created catalog table column order different from hdbdd entity
    I would also only consider productive CDS with SPS07  - CDS was introduced with SPS06 and no doubt some issues were resolved with introduction of SPS07.
    The CDS gives a wonderfully rich semantic view of your definitions - right click the .HDBDD artifact and select graphical view, especially if associations are implemented (SPS07).
    Coming from an ABAP background I adore the concept of a data dictionary-like central repository, where you can specify types and structures later referred to in entities (tables) for consistency and ease of maintenance.
    Have a go at setting up a few types and entities, change keys, add, remove and change columns (name and type), use those definitions in procedures and attribute views (later consumed by analytic and on to calculation views) for checking of dependencies.  I have had issues with dependencies where I have not been able to activate .HDBDD, see SAP Hana Studio release 70 issues.  Transport changes from dev to qa and check.  Do you need to define entities with spatial-type columns?  You cannot (ST_GEOMETRY not recognized as valid type as of 70).
    You are putting all of your "eggs" in one basket.  I wouldn't choose to do that with a project of any significant sizing unless a thorough P.O.C. was carried out.
    Hope that helps.

  • Error while running a KPI Watchlist in obiee 11g dashboard

    I am getting the following error while running a KPI Watchlist :
    *" Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW) "*
    I added two KPI's (KPI 1 & KPI 2)into that Watchlist , one from the default "Sample Sales Lite" (sub 1) and another from sub 2 which have essbase as data source .
    KPI 1 (created from sub 1) is working fine , but while placing KPI 2 (created from sub 2 ) in the watchlist , its throwing the above error . However , while running KPI 2 individually , its showing meaningful results .
    Let me know if the problem statement is not clear .
    OBIEE version used : 11.1.1.5.0 .

    Could anyone reply this thread. I am also getting the same error . Even server logs are also not helping.

  • OBIEE 11g - without going to Sawbridge first.....

    If you called OBIEE via the default path: http://domain-name/analytics?NQuser=xxx&NQpassword=xxxx
    instead of
    http://domain-name/analytics/saw.dll?NQzuser=xxx&NQpassword=xxxx  
    would your credentials be checked by weblogic before the default login jsp has access to the request parameters or after?
    Or does weblogic/OBIEE  stop you passing parameters to the default URL?
    What I'm trying to say is, if you go via the default domain without calling saw.dll first can you pass an encrypted password to your bespoke login.jsp (default.jsp) within the analytics domain and get this default.jsp
    to convert the password to plain text and then this default.jsp calls (forwards) to saw.dll....

    I have been trying to log in with my YouTube account name and password like usual. I just tried using my gmail log in and it works. Did they merge or something? It was working yesterday just fine without me changing the way I logged in. Either way, thanks for the help! Works great now

  • Error while creating Bi presentation service in obiee(11.1.1.3)

    Hi,
    Im using Jdeveloper(11.1.1.5) and OBIEE(11.1.1.3)
    I created a ADF application in Jdev and when I try to create a BI presentation services I'm getting the following error message.
    *Connection attempt failed.*

    does the creation of presentation service in jdev(11.1.15) work only with OBIEE(11.1.1.5) and not OBIEE(11.1.1.3).
    please help!

    Venky,
    The SOAP interface released with OBIEE 11.1.1.3 is version 6 (v6) as you can see from its WSDL URL.
    This would leave one only to believe that the SOAP interface released with OBIEE 11.1.1.5 is version 7.

  • How to embed user credentials in Secured Web Service from OBIEE 11gFMW?

    I am trying to invoke a webservice that I successfully exposed as a WSDL Web Service using EBS Integrated SOA Gateway. I am using OBIEE 11g Action Framework which uses WebLogic.
    Here are the steps I completed:
    - I exposed a WSDL web service in EBS R12 via Integrated SOA Gateway
    - I granted the access to this service in EBS R12 to user SYSADMIN
    - I used OBIEE 11g to make a Action to call the Web service (using Action Framework) by searching for the WSDL
    - When I try to execute the action: I get the error:
    Action could not be invoked.

    PROBLEM: I am unsure how to add the credentials for SYSADMIN user and password to add the SOAP username/pwd to the outgoing call. According to the documentation in the Integrators guide, FMW Security guide, and Web Logic guides..seems we have to configure the SOAP call to have the proper credentials.

  • Date Variable in Obiee 11g

    Hi All,
    I have created a dynamic repository variable that gives the current date. The date is given in the following format 'MM/DD/YYYY'. This is format that I want the date to appear in. In the presentation catalog, I have created a presentation variable dashboard promt called StartDate, that defaults to the repository variable CurrentDate. I have also created a report that has a number of measures filtered in different ways. If we take one of the measures in the report, what I have done is edited the formula to filter the measure by reported_date>Date'@{StartDate}'.
    Now when I got and see my dashboard I get an error, 'Datetime value 06/07/2011 from 06/07/2011 does not match the specified format'. However when I click 'Apply' on the prompt, the error does not appear and it just says that there is no data for this report.
    Can someone please help me solve this problem?
    Thanks,
    Nikita

    I solved this issue by using steps listed here http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/cast_as_date.

    Hi ,
    I normally do this to fix this problem
    1>Disable the network , keep the loopback adaptor enabled and then restart the services.
    2> You can enable the network after services are restarted.
    If you want a more practical solution and dont want to disable network again and again, then you would find the blog below useful.
