Spaces getting trimmed in presentation layer

Hi,
I am observing that the trailing spaces for the values of a field in the Physical layer are getting trimmed when I am using that field from presentation layer in Prompt/Report. For example, if the value is *'abcd '* in Physical layer, it is becoming *'abcd'* in presentation layer. Is this default behavior of OBIEE and can I change this so that the values will be picked as it is from Physical layer ?
I am using OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 and the datatype of the field in Physical layer as well as database (Teradata) is char(40).

I think I could not clarify my concern. Apologies for that. We do not have any formatting issue. We are using the field in a Prompt with operator as 'is equal to/is in'. So when the query gets formed, the where clause is coming as -
field _name = 'abcd'
whereas we want it to be
field_name = 'abcd '
Because in the database our value is 'abcd ',as the datatype is char.
We could find a resolution to use 'Contains any' operator instead. But there are hundreds of reports using this field in prompt. Also there is some reason the application do not want to change the datatype in databse to varchar. I needed to know if somehow we can retain the blank spaces in presentation layer.

Spaces getting trimmed in file content conversion

Hi all,
I am converting a flat file to an XML file by XI. The problem which i am facing in file content conversion is that the spaces in flat file data are getting trimmed to one space in the XML in SXMB_MONI.
The data in flat file is like SOUTHSEA and HANTS is having nearly 8 spaces.
But the data in XML is:
SOUTHSEA HANTS PO5 2LZ PO5 2LZ020327 i.e. in XML, there is only 1 space between SOUTHSEA and HANTS.
The following parameters i have used in file content conversion:
.keyFieldValue '*'
.fieldSeparator 'nl'
.fieldNames RECORD_DATA
.ignoreRecordsetName true
I am taking each record of the flat-file in a single record RECORD_DATA in XML.
So can anyone tell me why the big spaces are getting trimmed to a single space eg. between SOUTHSEA and HANTS etc.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
try :
NameA.fieldContentFormatting = nothing 
as the default is trim

More than one Spaces are getting trimmed on BizTalk BAM portal

Hi All,
We are implementing BAM at our customer place , we observed ,if any field contains more than one space in input file then these spaces are getting trimmed in single space,however it is correctly sitting in the BAMPrimaryImport database
For example if input file ,which is processing through BizTalk, and if any field which value is "AB CDE" (field contain three space here ) then in portal it is appearing as
"AB CDE" (Only one space here) by default
I am not sure how theses values are displayed in portal and how to relove this default behiaver of BAM Portal, if somebody have faced this situation then i will appreciate your help please
Thanks
Yash

Well then I guess it's a Portal issue (yes you already knew that!) :-)
I know not everybody agrees with me, but the way I look upon it, the Portal should not be used as a product, but merely as a testing tool and inspiration as to what one can build on top of ones BAM activities. In other words, if you need to present your
BAM data to users, you should build your own; Pivot Tables, Reporting Services, ASP.NET Web sites etc. etc. on top of it.
Don't know if this is true, but I've heard that the BAM portal was a beta-product that shipped for the first time with BizTalk Server 2006 without being completed, and no code changes has taken place since.

Getting extra NULL row in presentation layer when we use CASE in RPD

Hi,
We have created some time utility members in RPD like Previous month, Previous quarter.
Steps:
We have created a init block for capturing Previous month, Previous quarter and added variables with some default values assigned.
Now, we have created a logical column under time dimension in BMM as Previous month, Previous quarter. We are deriving them using following way.CASE
WHEN
MONTH_COL_NAME=VALUEOF(REPOSITORY_VAR_NAME)
THEN
MONTH_COL_NAME
END
We want these dimension values to qualify with measures.
The problem we are facing is it is showing one extra blank row in presentation layer when we bring Previous month or Previous quarter. This is because CASE conditions behaviour. How to avoid null in CASE condition in RPD?
Thanks,
Anilesh

You need to handle the records which are not equals to REPOSITORY_VAR_NAME.
I guess those other rest of values .
Try this
CASE
WHEN
MONTH_COL_NAME=VALUEOF(REPOSITORY_VAR_NAME)
THEN
'Y'
ELSE 'N'
END
in criteria use Y as filter value
If helps pls mark

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

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.

Hi Prassu,
thanks for the responce. and Apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
1) 1.First of all set the logging level to 3 in the admin tool save it.
You can get the SQL query from here
settings(Answers right top)-->Administration-->manage sessions-->view log
When I try to do this I get the following message. and no log files.
Error

DTO, DAO - Displaying/Formatting Data in the Presentation Layer

I need display multiple fields from a DTO throughout the presentation layer. What is the best way to format display data without duplicating the logic throughout presentation layer?
Example
I have a Person DTO that has first name, last name, and suffix 'getters' and am constantly showing the data out as "first last, suffix"
Options
1 - Create a utility class that formats the name of the Person DTO.
public class DisplayUtil{
 public static String DisplayName(PersonDTO person){
 return person.getFirstName() + " " + person.getLastName() + ", " + person.getSuffix();
}2 - Add a getter into the DTO that gets the data
public class PersonDto{
 //Other fields, getters, and setters
 public String getName(){
 return person.getFirstName() + " " + person.getLastName() + ", " + person.getSuffix();
}3 - Create a domain object (aka business object) using the "entity inherits from transfer object strategy".
public class Person extends PersonDto{
 public String getName(){
 return person.getFirstName() + " " + person.getLastName() + ", " + person.getSuffix();
}The easiest to implement now would be Option 2 above but it distorts what the DTO is supposed to be used for (which is transferring data).
What have you done in the past? What is an "acceptable" best practice? Are there other options that I haven't listed above that you use?

So, from what you advise you would have the following
code in all of the JSP pages of the Struts
app?
<c:out value="${person.firstName} ${person.lastName}"
/>
<c:logic test="${not empty person.suffix}">
 <c:out value=", ${person.suffix}" />
</c:logic>The problem that I see with this is that changes
would be incredibly difficult at a later date, since
every page contains the logic about displaying the
proper name format. (Say the client wanted to change
to always display the last name first instead of the
first name for all the pages. With this logic code
being on every "template", their could be hundreds of
pages to change. This is where I could see the
benefit of a utility class like Option 1.)This is what the include directive is for. The JSP tags in your example should not exist (physically ) in each JSP file. They should be stored in a single JSP fragment file.
The JSP fragment file is then "included" in each page via include directive. If you need to change anything for this at a later date, then you go to the single fragment file and make the change once.
<html>
<head><title>Including Shared Stuff in JSP Pages</title></head>
<body>
<%@include file="shared/text.jspf" %> 
What It Do 
<jsp:include page="shared/text.jspf" />
</body>
</html>When each JSP file is converted to a Java servlet by the JSP Engine, it will grab the shared fragment and include it in the code for the servlet.

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.

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

How to get the text present in JTextArea

i am writing application for some system to be computerised and i am not getting how to get the text present in text area and set it into database...can anybody suggest me solution??

You must have named the TextArea like
JTextArea textArea;so, use the getText() method like
String strTextAreaContents = textArea.getText();You can then use JDBC to connect to the database that you want and save your contents that is now in strTextAreaContents.

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.
