Specific Forum Link in subject area

Hi, I thought I used to be able to go directly from the BW subject area to the BW forum via a link on the right hand side. Why did we remove that? It was soooo handy.
I could get my BW fix/updates and then go visit the forum...
THanks for any comments...

Hi Kenneth and Roberto,
Indeed, the forum threads were missing from BW, and also from many other areas, but only for a short time.
However, as an editor for SDN, I must inform you that the identity of the perpetrator was no deus ex machina, but some kind of ghost in the machine that upset our template when we added functionality. Just one of those mysterious things.
You will wake up to find the forum links alive and well.
Regards,
Brian

Can we hide a specific subject area in answers for selected users

Hi,
Can we hide a specific subject area in answers for few users. I want to expose a particular subject area for only 2 users out of 10 . Right now if i expose it all 10 ppl with answers access will see that subject area. can i hide it for the other 8 without removing their answers access.

Log in as Admin- Setting-Administration-Manage Privileges-Search for your subject area and place appropriate restriction..

We have three discussions forums with same subject. whenever a post gets new reply in one forum, it should automatically trigger workflow functionality to check conditions and send the same reply to other synchronized forums.

Hi,
More details about your discussions forum will make others easier to find a corresponding solution on your requirement.
If you mean there are three Discussion Board list waiting for synchronizing, I would suggest you create an Event Receiver for the three Discussion Board list.
Here is a link with code demo about how to copy items from one Discussion Board to another including Replies:

Sun forums migration: sun forum links returned with google searches

Old forums.sun.com posts returned in google searches don't dump you into the thread anymore. Instead you get the forums.oracle.com home page. I was able to find the actual thread by using Google's cache to get the title of the post, then searching for it within the forums. However I figure once the google cache is refreshed, that won't work anymore.
Any idea on workarounds, or will the old sun forums threads ever properly point to forums.oracle.com? I understand that the info has been migrated, but it still needs to be searchable/findable.

Ok, I just talked to our technical person, and the reason that threads do not redirecting is because (...) So anytime you need to fins something specific in a thread, you will need to do a search.Has the migration team considered adding an automatically generated post such as "this topic was migrated from the Sun forums, topicid=xyz"?
At least this suggestion would enable to search the lost topic by its ID!
The problem with manual searching is that often we have not much more info about the topic than the id in the link.
The Google cache is just a temporary epipehnomenon, at some point such search results will not be returned. But there remains a lot of (now dangling) pointers to Sun forum topics everywhere across the Internet.
You wouldn't have to search very far: in the very content that was migrated from Sun forums to OTN forums, there are tons of intra-forum links ("This question is answered in [url http://nowLostInAether]this topic", or "Please consider the shortcomings of thsi approach as described in [url http://nowLostInAether]that thread"). There is no clue as to which keyword search coold lead to the lost target, and even if it were returned by an educated guess search, there would be no way to make sure it's the correct target ("Please sure to use [url http://nowLostInAether]this apporach, because [url http://nowLoastInSPace.com]that other approach is completely flawed!").

Google Map Issue in OBIEE - Subject area not getting associated

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to integrate Google map and OBIEE via mapviewer. We have done the following already -
1. Loaded World Sample data from Navteq.
2. Configured mapviewer source and added Google map as a tile layer with the API KEY.
3. Imported one layer (e.g. M_STATES_ABRV) in OBIEE and linked it with BI subject area (tried this step with importing other layers as well)
4. Added background map.
Now , in this step when we add the layer in the map, we select M_STATES_ABRV and change zoom levels. But Once we come back to main screen after Clicking OK, we see the background map is not associated with the subject area. Hence any map view report creation with this subject area fails.
We have the tried the same theme with Oracle Maps (internal type like WORLD MAP or DEMO MAP), it works fine. only Google Map gives this issue.
This was not expected. Please suggest what we missed. We tried with cache clear, tile delete and recreation, service restart almost everything .
We looked into other threads in this community, different oracle support documents - Doc ID 1485088.1,Doc ID 1346805.1 etc and in different internet blogs - where it's easy as child's play, but we are still out of luck.
OBIEE version - 11.1.1.7.140527
Environment- windows server 2008 R2
Please suggest.
Regards,
Krish

I have found the solution: You need to *select* zoom levels for the BI Layer. When a BI Layer is added to a background map, by default no zoom layers are selected. Once a zoom level is selected, the BI Layer will save.

How to create Analysis from two different subject areas with diff models

Hello,
I have problem with create analysis from two different areas with two different models (Model Star and Snowflakes) build in BI Admin tools.
First Model A = Subject Area A have one fact tables (with measures) and three dimensions tables (Model Star)
Second Model B = Subject Area B have one fact table (no measures) and five dimensions tables (Model Snowflakes).
I'm looking solutions how I can give good results. In this case I can't use UNION, INTERSECT etc., because this models haven't the same number column and data type?
whether it is possible to do in OBIEE?
Please help me
Kind regard
robix

Hi
One thing to understand is that if your are imagining having two Subject Areas (SAs) displayed and then dragging columns from each into your Request without any preparation, then no, that can't be done. You would need to do a join in the BMM layer and expose the column from the second Subject Area in the presentation layer.
But if you indeed interested in UNION (or intersect) queries, then do this:
Build your first query in the first SA in the usual manner. Note the number of columns and the data types of each column.
Now at the bottom of the Criteria workspace, there is a button called "Combine with similar request." Click it.
Select your second SA. You will note that the outlines of the columns in your first query appear. This is to remind you that the number of columns in this second query must be the same as in the first. It also shows the data type of each column for the same reason.
Once you select your columns and your filters, click on result. (Oh, you will also need to decide what kind of combination you want -- click on the dropdown.) The result will be a new Request that has data from both SAs in the query and combined in the manner you select (union, intersect, etc.)
That should give you a start.

Multiple Subject Areas

Somewhat new so please forgive me if the question is simple (if it is, please point me in the right direction). I've looked through the documentation and this forum, but have not found what I'm looking for yet.
I am trying to get a single worksheet to pull data from multiple subject areas (two or more fact tables). I would prefer to not join fact tables together, and so I have not created the joins between the folders (fact tables) because I thought the performance would generally be horrible. (example of functionality I'm looking for: I want to combine Sales and Inventory data on one worksheet).
I have kind of tried complex folders, but I would prefer to have the tool generate the SQL if possible because it won't just be me creating reports, and if it's possible, I'd like to avoid coding the SQL myself every time I want to join subject areas.
I also looked at Custom Folders, but my understanding is that they are used primarily to join 1 fact table with multiple dimensional tables, but not multiple fact tables (at least that was the example in the documentation).
My current setup is a 2 tier environment, with just Disco Admin and Disco Desktop on top of 10g. We don't have AS yet so I can't test anything that way.
I appreciate any comments in advance.
Nate

You should try both Complex folders as well as custom folders and see which gives you better performance. Discoverer SQL optimizations for example apply only on Complex folders and not on simple folders.
If you define the joins between the two tables, you can still use items from them in your Discoverer report without having to create a complex folder on them.
And finally, you can always create a view or materialized view and use that MV in your Discoverer query.

Add object in repository but not showing in answers subject area

Hi all,
I add a table from physical layer to BM and then presentation layer and successfully restart the BI service but it still not showing in answers subject area i also logout and login the application... any idea why.
Regards

Have you reloaded the metadata in the presentation server? This can be done in Answers by using the 'reload metadata' link below the tables (you must have the privilege to do this, by default the Administrator user can do this).
Restarting the presentation server service will also force a reload.

Why can I no longer search a specific forum?

It doesn't seem that long ago that one could drill down in the technical discussion forums and then search a specific forum. Now, all I can see is that, no matter what forum I navigate to, I can only enter search terms for the entire "community". 99.9% of the time I really don't give a s__t about iPads and iPods, yet answers regarding them are always in the top results. Put another way, how can I specifically search Using Mac OS 10.7 Lion for answers?

Once you get the search screen up you restrict the forum to search and/or the person:
Unfortunately to get this window you have to do the first search from the search communities box. What I do if I know I will be restricting to one community is do an empty search which brings up the above window, then I enter the search term, the community and the person then search.]
It would be nice of you could just get these options right from the get-go but at least there is a way.

Type2 SCD attributes not shown correctly across subject areas

Type2 SCD attributes not shown correctly across subject areas
Hi,
The issue is that Type2 SCD attributes are showing the old value when used outside the domain of Type2 SCD dimension.
For example, if we try to display the value of Type2 SCD attribute from Contact dimension in Opportunities subject area we get the old value instead of current one.
The reason is that Revenue fact table which is used between Contact and Opportunities dimensions is keeping the old value of Contact ROW_WID.
Is there a suggested / recommended approach on how to solve this ?
Would adding the Contact INTEGRATION_ID in Revenue fact table and using it for join instead of ROW_WID, while filtering out on current flag be a best practice ?
Please advise
Boris

Hi Boris,
to understand how PR_CONTACT_WID is populated on the W_REVN_F, you must use Informatica (PowerCenter Designer) and view the backward link path.
You could see that PR_CONTACT_WID is search in the Lookup LKP_W_PARTY_PER_D_With_Geo_Wid (mapplet mplt_SIL_RevenueFact) :
- table W_PARTY_PER_D
- Query : SELECT
LOOKUP_TABLE.ROW_WID as ROW_WID,
LOOKUP_TABLE.GEO_WID as GEO_WID,
LOOKUP_TABLE.INTEGRATION_ID as INTEGRATION_ID,
LOOKUP_TABLE.DATASOURCE_NUM_ID as DATASOURCE_NUM_ID,
LOOKUP_TABLE.EFFECTIVE_FROM_DT as EFFECTIVE_FROM_DT,
LOOKUP_TABLE.EFFECTIVE_TO_DT as EFFECTIVE_TO_DT
FROM
W_PARTY_PER_D LOOKUP_TABLE, W_REVN_FS
WHERE W_REVN_FS.PR_CONTACT_ID = LOOKUP_TABLE.INTEGRATION_ID
AND W_REVN_FS.DATASOURCE_NUM_ID = LOOKUP_TABLE.DATASOURCE_NUM_ID
ORDER BY
LOOKUP_TABLE.DATASOURCE_NUM_ID,
LOOKUP_TABLE.INTEGRATION_ID,
LOOKUP_TABLE.EFFECTIVE_FROM_DT,
+LOOKUP_TABLE.EFFECTIVE_TO_DT --+
- Condition : EFFECTIVE_FROM_DT <= IN_DATE AND EFFECTIVE_TO_DT > IN_DATE
So your value for PR_CONTACT_WID is dependent of the value of IN_DATE ( --> IIF(ISNULL(CLOSE_DT), EXCH_DT, CLOSE_DT)).
You must verify for one record where you think there is an issue the CLOSE_DT and EXCH_DT on the table W_REVN_F (CLOSE_DT and U_RVN_EXCH_DT)
Hope it helps,
Benoît

Tax Data in any AR Subject Area

Hello All,
I have a scenario to add lots of AR Tax data elements in any of AR Subject area. Currently we are using OBI Apps 7.9.6.1.
The AR tax details are coming from the Oracle-EBS 11 5 9, the most of the source tables are AR_COLLECTORS, ECE_TP_HEADERS, AR_VAT_TAX_ALL_B.etc....
I need to map all these tables through Informatica mappings and bring it into any of AR Subject area.
Please advice me that, which subject area could be the best one to add all tax information of AR.
Is there any specific join conditions to add these (AR_COLLECTORS, ECE_TP_HEADERS, AR_VAT_TAX_ALL_B.) following tables in the existing Informatica mappings.
Thanks!!
Praveen

Are you importing data into the EBS through Informatica PowerCenter? I strongly suggest you use the EBS interface tables or the provided EBS API's for importing data from external sources, in fact, this is Oracle's recommended method of importing data from external sources. You are asking for trouble if you try to put data in all the right places yourself. This is why Oracle provide interface tables and API's to import data.
Oracle's Enterprise Business Suite (EBS) plays by its own rules and for good reason. There are just too many dependencies between tables to attempt this on your own. I suggest your review the Oracle Applications Documentation library for how to use the interface tables and APIs. Each EBS module has it's own set of interface tables and APIs.

Presentation Layer model not appearing in Subject Area (OBIEE 11g)

Hi All
I have created the OBIEE metadata for an OLAP cube using the following steps:
1. Created and Maintained a single OLAP cube using AWM (5 measures and 3 dimensions).
2. Created new OBIEE metadata repository using BI Administrator.
3. Exported CUBE metadata to OBIEE Administrator using OBIEE Plug-in for AWM.
4. Saved the new repository after checking for global consistency.
5. Uploaded the new repository to BI server using BI Enterprise Manager (http://localhost:7001/em).
6. Restarting all BI services from Enterprise Manager for repository changes to take effect.
7. Create a new user using Weblogic Console in Security Realm 'myRealm' and assigning it to group 'BIConsumers' using (http://localhost:7001/console).
8. Logging into BI Analytics as new user using (http://localhost:9704/analytics)
But for some reason, the cube is still not showing up under the 'Subject Area Contents'. Am I missing any step in between?
My platform is as folllows:
- Oracle Business Intelligence EE v. 11.1.1.3.0
- AWM 11.1.0.7.0B
- Windows 2008 Server (32-bit)
Any assistance will be appreciated.

This would be a better forum for this

NQSError: 15001 Could not load navigation space for the subject area

Hi gems,
I am creating repository with some subject areas from one of the Old repository which has no errors. New repository is giving error as
nQSError: 15001 Could not load navigation space for the subject area
nQSError: 15004 Internal Error: Missing Functional dependency association for the column
But actual for particular column n OLD Repository it is not giving any error
Can anyone help me why this is giving this error.
Thanks
Manu

Hi Manu,
Please check if all the columns in the copied subject areas are having links to BMM layer and physical layer columns. If the pulled tables does not have proper joins with other BMM tables, it also will cause load naviagtion error.
While copying the subject area from another RPD you must have missed some objects or joins. Please verify.
Thanks

Add columns in the existing Customer table in a Subject Area

Hi All,
Well I need to add two columns from Sales table(new table i created which has customer Id) and join it to the Customer Table which has the Customer Id and several columns. The Customer table was already in the RPD which has all the customer information. Now that i have this new requirement to add few columns from the Sales table to the Customer table in one Subject Area.
What i have done so far is that I imported the sales table into the rpd, made a join in PHYSICAL LAYER on the customer ID of the Sales table to the Customer id of the Customer table and simply dragged the sales table to the Customer LTS in the BMM layer(NO MORE JOINS IN BMM)and dragged and dropped the same into the Presentation layer. The customer table is linked to one fact table in that subject area. So i thought that dragging the sales table columns in the customer table LTS will work because customer is linked to one fact in that subject area.
Now, In the Answers when I dragged columns from customer & sales table I see only one record that is the first customer_id record from my Sales table but i know there are many common customer_ids between those two tables but its only picking the first customer id from the sales table.
Any help will be appreciated..
Normally if we need to add some columns to the existing tables in one subject area what is the best approach??
