Strange Discoverer10 Viewer data issue

Hi all,
I have 2 very similair reports, report A and Report B. Both have the same layout, use the same parameter but report A is setup to look at a certain period while report B looks at another period.
I have a strange problem - if I run report A with a parameter it returns data ok. Ok then.
However If I then open report B and use the same parameter it actually returns the same data as report A. Now techincally these are 2 separate reports.
It does not matter what order the reports run, whatever is run 2nd reutrns the data that the first report had.
Now this problem does not happen in Discoverer 10 Desktop or Plus with the same reports, only Disocoverer viewer. It's almost like visiting a webpage that is stored in a cache.
I don't think it's the local pc cache as clearing cache and temp files in IE does not fix the issue.
Any ideas?
cheers,
rg

Hi,
That's exactly the way it should act.
I assume when you say 2 reports you actually mean 2 worksheet.
Open the workbook with plus and cancel the option to use the parameter for all worksheets.
You can find this option in the "Tools-> parameter", edit the parameter you need and change the option (down left) to "Allow different parameter values for each worksheet"

IS_Data Insight View Data Function Limitation

Hi Experts,
Is there any limitation to view data of a table using View Data function in Data Insight module in Information Steward. I come across a strange issue with this, the details are explained below.
I am trying to perform Data profiling on table, as part of this I imported table into a Data Insight project. When i tried to view data of a table using View Data function, it is showing blank like (0 from 998987). I am able able to see data in database and even in DS designer too.
Then i created a view on top of this table by selecting all columns and tried to view data, again showed blank. Then i removed some columns in view and tried, now it showed data. The table contains 150 columns, I used around 110 columns in view.
My question here is, is there any limitations in Data Insight for viewing data apart 500 records. Will View Data function consider the number of Rows or the size of data to display the data. If it consider these two, is there any option available in IS to control these two parameters i.e., increase / decrease the size or no of rows.
If anyone come across with this issue, could you please help me if any solutions to fix this.
Thanks,
Ramakrishna Kamurthy

Hello Rama,
In IS 4.2 this limitation is actually stated.
See here: IS_421_user_en.pdf in Related Information section pg 44 which states that:
The software displays only 500 records when you view data from an SAP table.
Also more details available in section: 2.5.10.2 Limit of 500 records when viewing data from SAP tables.
The software displays only 500 records when you view data from an SAP table.
Views that contain SAP tables have the potential to be quite large, especially when they are joined with other SAP tables. The limit of 500 records when viewing data prevents your computer from hanging or never completing the task because the tables were too large.
In addition to the 500 records limit, you can take steps to enhance performance in the following ways:
● Reduce the size of the file by mapping fields, join conditions, filters, and so on to limit the data in the table to information that you really need.
● Use SAP ABAP-supported functions in forming expressions in views. Using non-supported functions is allowed, but doing so may adversely affect performance.
● Use the View Data filter tools when you view and export data from SAP tables.
With the 500 records limit for viewing SAP table data, there is a potential for no records showing up in the View Data window.
This could happen, for example, when the view contains a child view, the child view contains one or more SAP tables, and a join is set up to join the entire data set.
A message appears at the top of the View Data window that instructs you to export the data to an external source (text file, CSV, or Excel file) to view all of the records.
I hope this is helpful.

Can't view data from BI Anaytics

Hi,
I am new to BI suite. currently our repository has two different connection pool associated with two different schema. Since my ex-coworker built the first one and left. I don't want to mess up with his work. I built another connection pool with different schema. There is no problem with deployment and i am able to view data in physical layer. But when i login to BI analytics and i found i am not able to view data. The error is:

My DBA told me it might be ODBC driver problem since he told me he didn't even see the query from database monitor. When i check ODBC setup in BI server and found there is default odbc setup under System DSN.
does anybody know what this problem is?
Thanks

Not able to view data from more than one data package in PSA

Hi Friends,

If i mark more than one datapackage this error raises:

Hi again,
Seems I'm too stupid for this issue.......
As I understand there are two ways to view PSA :
1. PSA maintenance in RSA1
2. In SE11/SE16 viewing the underlaying transparent table
ad 1.
When I try to filter erroneous records for more than one datapackage situation is as described above.
ad 2.
Trying to view the table works, but where is the chararcteristic/field marking a record as erroneous
in table /BIC/Bxxxxxxxx (table containing PSA-Data) ?
Thanks

Unable to view Data Analysis in Project Server 2007

Hi,
I am currently using Project server 2007. One of our PM is not able to view Data Analysis information which are available to other PM.
It says 'The query cannot be processed. Either the user doesn't have access to Analysis service Database or the database doesn't exist"
We checked the following.
Tools >
Internet options > Security tab > Click Trusted Sites >
Custom Level > Search for Access data source across domains and its enabled.
Kindly advice. Thanks in advance!

Hi Nathik,
You should also check that the PM in question has not been granted specific permission. If he doesn't have the "View OLAP Data" and "View Data Analysis" permissions, he will not be able to use the data analysis. Also check
that the PWA URL is in the trusted site of IE. Finally press CTRL F5 to clean IE cache. Check also that the OLAP cubes were successfully built.
A good way for you to debug is to use your admin account on his machine to see if it is a permission issue or a IE setting issue.
Hope this helps,

Unable to view data in Physical layer of RPD

I have OBIEE installed on my local machine using Oracle 10g as the database installed on a remote machine. I am able to create the DSN and test the connection pool on my local machine.
The Call interface is OCI 10g in the connection pool. I am able to import tables into the database in the Physical layer of the repository but when I try to VIEW Data in the physical layer, it throws me an error stating,
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor at OCI call OCILogon.
nQsError: 17014 Could not connect to Oracle Database.
I have oracle 10g client installed on my local machine. I am able to view the tables and the data from SQL PLus. In OBIEE i am able to import tables but cannot view data.
Any suggestions on what could be causing this?

Sounds like one of my common issues. After you do the import, go back and check the connection pool. What I typically run into is that it has switched to the OCI connection rather than the ODBC connection used for the import, but it is still using the name of the ODBC DSN that was used for the import. Change it to the TNS name or the host:port/service and try again.

Not many people run into this but one has before: Too many columns to be shown in the Enterprise Manager 11g?
I can not find a known bug related to EM/CC, however a lot of bugs exist if you search in MOS for java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 128
So, best is to create a SR.

Does anybody know why type might render strangely when viewing a PDF in Chrome, Firefox and IE?

Does anybody know why type might render strangely when viewing a PDF in Chrome, Firefox and IE?
I have a client who I create a report for every year. This year there seems to be a problem with the PDFs that I have exported when they are viewed in various web browsers. To elaborate, the type is rendering inconsistently – in Chrome the weight of the type is inconsistent (ranging from light to something more heavy) and in IE the type appears more condensed, and the x-height is variable.
To my knowledge Chrome, Firefox and IE are all affected in one way or another. The problem does not occur in Safari.
We always use Helvetica Neue and have never had problems like this before. I am using the same version of Helvetica Neue as I always use, but even when I change the font to Helvetica the problem still persists.
On a deadline so would appreciate some support here. Box of beer to the person who can provide me with a working solution!
Thanks kindly
Simon Winter

Hello Ellis. Thanks for your efforts in helping narrow down this issue, and for offering workarounds for Simon. Here are the steps I sent to Simon, enhanced by the info you provided above:
1. I typed some text in Id CC 2014.0 (Mac OS 10.9.4) using the system font Helvetica Neue Light at 12 pt. All defaults were on, including ligatures.
1.a. I used the text in Simon's example, “An Annual Report marks the end of a year’s work, but it is also an opportunity to reflect on the principles that” and reduced the text frame width so that it wrapped across 4 lines.
1.b. I also tried creating an all-page text frame and filling it with placeholder text (same font, same point size).
2. Export > Interactive PDF (or Static PDF: doesn’t make a difference), using all the default PDF export settings.
3. View resulting PDF in the latest Chrome (36.0.1985.143) on that same Mac, or on Windows, at various zoom levels, on a retina display as well as on a lower-dpi monitor. It looks fine to me: all words and lines have the same even "color" or weight.
In all cases, the fonts embedded in the PDF were listed as:
HelveticaNeue-Light (Embedded Subset)
Type: TrueType
Encoding: Ansi
HelveticaNeue-Light (Embedded Subset)
Type: TrueType (CID)
Encoding: Identity-H
If you follow the above steps, can you repro the problem?

VPD date issue between 10.1 and 10.2 databases

I have uncovered an issue today with VPD against date fields. The issue came up at a client site on a 10.2 database. When I got back to the hotel and tried this on my own database, which is 10.1, I got no issue and everything worked ok.
Therefore, I am asking if anyone is able to try out the following for me on different Oracle databases and platforms and let me know whether it worked for you or not. I'd like to compile a list of database versions and platforms on which the issue occurs.
Step 1: create this table as a user
CREATE TABLE TST_DATE AS (
SELECT 1 PERSON_UID,
Trunc(SYSDATE) BIRTH_DATE,
To_Char(Trunc(SYSDATE), 'DD-MON-YYYY') CHAR_DATE,
123456 TAX_ID,
'Smith, Michael B.' FULL_NAME FROM dual);
Step 2: grant select rights on the table
GRANT SELECT ON TST_DATE TO PUBLIC;
Step 3: switch your login to SYS and run this script:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION F_CHECK_ITEM_TST(p_object_schema in varchar2, p_object_name varchar2)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
V_PREDICATE VARCHAR2(2000) := '1 = 2';
BEGIN
RETURN(V_PREDICATE);
END F_CHECK_ITEM_TST;
Step 4: As SYS, run this to grant access rights over the function
GRANT EXECUTE ON F_CHECK_ITEM_TST TO PUBLIC;
Step 5: As SYS, run this to enable the policy
BEGIN DBMS_RLS.ADD_POLICY(
OBJECT_SCHEMA => 'DRAKE',
OBJECT_NAME => 'TST_DATE',
POLICY_NAME => 'SecByTST',
FUNCTION_SCHEMA => 'SYS',
POLICY_FUNCTION => 'F_CHECK_ITEM_TST',
STATEMENT_TYPES => 'SELECT',
POLICY_TYPE => DBMS_RLS.DYNAMIC,
SEC_RELEVANT_COLS => 'BIRTH_DATE',
SEC_RELEVANT_COLS_OPT => DBMS_RLS.ALL_ROWS);
END;
Note: in the above policy change the OBJECT_SCHEMA name to be the name of the user who owns the table you created in Step 1
Step 6: Go into Discoverer Admin and import the table as a new folder.
Be sure to uncheck the "Date hierarchies" box and set "Default aggregate on data points" to detail. Grant access to any user.
Step 7: Using Desktop or Plus, log in as that user then try to query the folder with the date not included, there should be no problem.
Step 8: Now try to query with the date included
On my 10.2 database I get ORA-24334: no descriptor for this position. This happens when logged into Discoverer as the table owner, EUL owner or any other user. However, when logged into Discoverer as SYS which is exempt from all VPD policies, there is no error when the date is included.
We tried this in Discoverer Desktop, Plus and Viewer with the same results in all three. We can successfully query the table from SQL*Plus, SQL Developer and TOAD.
There also seems to be no issue at all with the 10.1 database so there seems to be an issue between Discoverer and the 10.2 database.
What do you think?
P.S. to cancel the policy use this script when logged in as SYS:
EXEC DBMS_RLS.drop_policy(
OBJECT_SCHEMA => 'DRAKE',
OBJECT_NAME => 'TST_DATE',
POLICY_NAME => 'SecByTST');
This same information is available on my blog in a more readable format here:
http://learndiscoverer.blogspot.com/2006/12/vpd-date-issue-between-101-and-102.html

Hi Rod
Well don't you just love Oracle. Obviously, whatever tests were done for certifying Discoverer against the 10.2 database did not include checking VPD policies. This merits a blog entry from me.
Your workaround for V_PREDICATE VARCHAR2(2000) := 'BIRTH_DATE=TO_DATE(''01-JAN-0001'')'; works. However, I had to write a new function to do this because my real function was trapping about a dozen items at the same time, some dates, some numbers and some varchars - exactly the way that the Oracle example code shows it in the 10.2 database manual.
So what I did was to create a new function that only handles dates and added a dedicated policy that works with only that function. Unfortuately, because I have many dates to manage, I was unabe to hard code the BIRTH_DATE so here is what I did:
V_PREDICATE VARCHAR2(2000) := 'SYSDATE = TO_DATE(''01-JAN-0001'')';
This works perfectly and Discoverer stopped complaining. It just has two policies on the same table for different data items. Isn't VPD cool? I'm hooked.
I really appreciate your time and effort on this. Now, let's see what Oracle support make of the issue because I raised a service request last night. No reply yet I'm afraid.
Best wishes

Hierarchy Viewer CSS issue

Hi,
I have a Fusion Web Application in Jdeveloper 12C that gets the colors and skinning from a CSS file.
When i add:
af|dvt-hierarchyViewer
    background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(bottom, #FFFFFF 0%, #000000 300%);
    background-color: currentColor;
    background-attachment: scroll;
to my CSS file and run my application, the Hierarchy opens with a grey colour but then it flashes back to the default light blue gradient of fusionFx-simple-v2.desktop as soon as it tries to fetch data.
But if i change these settings on the Hierarchy itself, the colour changes to the grey and it stays grey.
Any help with this will be appreciated
