Strange OBIEE 11g URL problem

Hi, I'm implementing OBIEE 11g at work, and I'm seeing something odd I've never experienced before. When I'm inside the firewall, if I go to the URL http://servername:9704/analytics, everything works fine. But if I'm outside of the firewall and use the same URL, it doesn't work (at all). Instead I have to use http://servername:9704/analytics/saw.dll?bieehome (at which point, everything works fine).
It seems like somehow there is a redirection going on that doesn't work from outside the firewall, but is fine inside of it. Any ideas where I need to look to figure out what the problem is and fix it? (note - I'm not savy with WebLogic....)
Thanks!

Hi,
It should work for your case..
have faced the same issue, just try with hostname. then it should worke and
go the window/system32/drivers/ect/host......this is the way we can change url path,
My URL path is based on my domain name and system DNS. I gave IP address and gave path like reports.abc.com
1)
change it the IP addresss/host name see the below path and change it
Drive\Oracle\Middleware\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\instanceconfig.xml**
change it under <Hosts></Hosts> tab
2) also change it drive:\Oracle\Middleware\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIServerComponent\coreapplication_obis1
NQSConfig.ini file
FMW_SECURITY_SERVICE_URL = "http://IP:9704";
[JAVAHOST]
JAVAHOST_HOSTNAME_OR_IP_ADDRESSES = "hostname"; # This Configuration setting is managed by Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Manager
#JAVAHOST_HOSTNAME_OR_IP_ADDRESSES = "<machine-name1>":<port_number1>,<machine-name2>:<port_number2>;
after changing restart your BI all services and Run it it should work

Hi Titas,
with such problems typically, at least for me, the cause turns out to be something simple and embarrassing like:
- I am connected to another database,
- The database is right but I have made some manual adjustments without committing them,
- I have got the wrong query from the query log,
- I have got the right query but my request is based on multiple queries.
Do other OBIEE reports work fine?
Have you tried removing columns one by one to see whether it makes a difference?

OBIEE 11g - serious problem when rotating columns into "table prompt" area

Hi, I'm hitting an OBIEE 11g issue that's causing huge problems on reports. Essentially, the problem is this - if I dump all the columns of a query to a table, everything looks fine. But if I rotate one of the columns into the "table prompts" area, OBIEE is actually resubmitting a WRONG query. The query format changes from:
WITH

I completely do not understand what is going on here. The second query has a ton of problems. First off, it's doing some type of UNION operation - no idea why it's doing that. And the real problem is that it's unioning results from a different fact table, FACT_LEDGER_period instead of FACT_LEDGER_ytd, which is completely screwing up our results.
Long and short, I simply don't understand at all why the query should change just from rotating a column up into the table prompt area.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,
I see the query to be valid with each CTE doing the following Jobs.....
1. I understand that this particular query is being generated to get the unique "ORG_ID_DESC " to fill up the table prompts.
SAWITH0 AS (select distinct T12637.ORG_ID_DESC as c1
from
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNT T12582,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ORG T12637,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNTING_PERIOD T12597,
GL_ANALYTICS.FACT_LEDGER T38927 / FACT_LEDGER_period /
where ( T12582.ACCOUNT_KEY = T38927.ACCOUNT_KEY and T12597.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD = T38927.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD and T12597.FISCAL_YEAR = T38927.FISCAL_YEAR and T12582.STATEMENT_TYPE_CODE = 'Income Statement' and T12597.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD = 11 and T12597.FISCAL_YEAR = 2012 and T12637.ORG_KEY = T38927.ORG_KEY and T38927.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD = 11 and T38927.FISCAL_YEAR = 2012 and (T12637.DEPARTMENT_CODE_DESC in ('D0200 - Arts Administration', 'D0206 - Film Studies')) ) )
2. This particular query is to get each prompt value and its corresponding data
SAWITH1 AS (select sum(T38965.ORIGINAL_BUDGET) as c1,
T12637.ORG_ID_DESC as c2
from
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNT T12582,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ORG T12637,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNTING_PERIOD T12597,
GL_ANALYTICS.FACT_LEDGER T38965 / FACT_LEDGER_ytd /
where ( T12582.ACCOUNT_KEY = T38965.ACCOUNT_KEY and T12582.STATEMENT_TYPE_CODE = 'Income Statement' and T12597.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD = 11 and T12597.FISCAL_YEAR = T38965.FISCAL_YEAR and T12597.FISCAL_YEAR = 2012 and T12637.ORG_KEY = T38965.ORG_KEY and T38965.FISCAL_YEAR = 2012 and (T12637.DEPARTMENT_CODE_DESC in ('D0200 - Arts Administration', 'D0206 - Film Studies')) and T12597.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD >= T38965.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD )
group by T12637.ORG_ID_DESC)
3. This particular query, I understand is to get the following data (Sample data) relating the prompts and their corresponding data
column (c1) ;column (c2 ie ORG_ID_DESC); column(C3 ie sum(T38965.ORIGINAL_BUDGET))
0;               ORG_ID_DESC1; NULL
1;               ORG_ID_DESC1;10
0;               ORG_ID_DESC2;NULL
1;               ORG_ID_DESC2;40
0;               ORG_ID_DESC3;NULL
1;               ORG_ID_DESC3;29.8
SAWITH2 AS ((select distinct 0 as c1,
D1.c1 as c2,
cast(NULL as DOUBLE PRECISION ) as c3
from
SAWITH0 D1
union all
select distinct 1 as c1,
D1.c2 as c2,
D1.c1 as c3
from
SAWITH1 D1))
4. The last select statement does nothing but selecting the needed data which later gets arranged in the format as needed by the OBIPS
select D1.c1 as c1, D1.c2 as c2, D1.c3 as c3 from ( select D1.c1 as c1,
D1.c2 as c2,
D1.c3 as c3
from
SAWITH2 D1
order by c1, c2 ) D1 where rownum <= 65001
Now, on the table being chosen for picking up "ORG_ID_DESC" might be pretty much depending on the best source available as you know. If you would like BI Server to pick up any particular source, probably you could try the "LTS Priority Group" way.
Hope I was clear and it helps.
Thank you,

I can't open OBIEE 11g url

Hi.
I can't open OBIEE 11g.
After the installation of OBI I use normally.
Then restart the system, OBI url don't open.
Exception Unable connection to the server.
Thank you in advance

Did u start Bi Services? than Do this.
1-Login to EM http://your_BI_server:7001/em
2- provide user /password: example: weblogic
3- Navigate to 'Business Intelligence' from Left hand side menu
4- bring up 'Presentation service' (if it is down) .
If all services are up than it can be multi causes, can u please share Error in log file.
Have u used 'Static' IP for BI SERVER?
let me know status.

OBIEE 11g having problems with password protected PDF files.

I have been able to get an analysis in OBIEE 11g to display PDF files.
However, some of these documents contain sensitive information and must be secured. Since anyone with access to the file name
could simply type in the proper path in the browser window, this is unacceptable. In order to try and prevent this, I created a pdf file
that is protected with a password.
Opening the file by itself, produces the desired results. The password is requested before the file will open.
When I open the file through my analysis in OBIEE, Adobe reader activates, but the password is not requested and the file does not open.
It is as if OBIEE is somehow not sensing that Adobee is asking for a password.
Does anyone have any experience with this?

FYI, in case anyone is interested, I found out what is going on.
I created the original password protected PDF using Microsoft Word. I did this because I do not have a full version of Adobe Acrobat that allows me to create files.
On a hunch, I found someone that has a full version of Acrobat, and had them create a password protected PDF file. This file worked perfectly.
Apparently, Word is not strictly adhering to PDF guidelines, and OBIEE senses the differences, resulting in the file not opening properly.
Something to keep in mind for anyone linking to password protected PDF files in OBIEE.

OBIEE 11G Count problem

Hi Gurus,
I want to convert to below condition to obiee.
Database Condition like below:
ZEROIFNULL(CAST((CAST(COUNT(CASE WHEN END_output<=.033 and END_output>='-.117' THEN END_output END) AS FLOAT)/
CAST(NULLIFZERO (COUNT(In_PUT)) AS FLOAT)) AS DECIMAL(10,1)))*100 AS Real_Time
In Database output is = 48
I have converted to OBIEE like below.
IFNULL( CAST ( COUNT(CASE WHEN "- Order Fact"."END_output" <= .033 and "- Order Fact"."END_output" >='-.117' THEN "- Order Fact"."END_output" END) AS FLOAT ), 0) / CAST(IFNULL (COUNT("- Sales Fact"."In_PUT"),0) AS FLOAT ) *100.0
In OBIEE output is = 45
Note: I am getting two or three count difference in OBIEE.
I guess the problems is Decimal, how to apply decimal in obiee like (DECIMAL(10,1)))..
Please help on this.
Note: I have tired several methods like below but no luck still am facing problem.
(COUNT(CASE WHEN (END_output*1.00)<=.033 and (END_output*1.00)>='-.117' THEN (END_output*1.00) END)/
COUNT(In_PUT))*100.0
Please help me on this ...
Thanks

Hi Actually,
we have the same issue but not with case statement, the value changes bec of missing decimals, so try to put the data format to show decimals and run in a table view to see the missing decimals so u find the exact and with the associate dimension.
Just have a work around on it.

Change OBIEE 11g URL in weblogic?

Hi All,
I want to customize the default OBIEE URL from:
http://<servername>:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard to http://<servername>:9704/analytics_abc/saw.dll?Dashboard.
I took a look at the forum but no where I could find for weblogic 10.3.5. Everywhere it is for OC4J and IIS.
Can anyone throw some light on Weblogic part?

So you spoofed the values of the 2nd column to have the report act almost like a menu listing?
if that's the case then check the data type of column 2, it should be set to HTML. Then you will just need to build your HTML tag within the column formula.
Example below bins the year name into a Link HTML Tag:
'<a href="http://'|| CASE WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2011' THEN 'www.google.com' WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2012' THEN 'www.yahoo.com' ELSE 'www.apple.com' END || '" target="_blank" > ' || CASE WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2011' THEN 'www.google.com' WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2012' THEN 'www.yahoo.com' ELSE 'www.apple.com' END || '</a>'
if that is not what you are attempting to do, please clarify.

OBIEE 11g URL not working

hi every one,
I got a problem regarding my presentation services
they are upend running and all the opmnctl files are all alive but my url is not working
http://VAMSHI-PC:7001/analytics or any other em , console etc
i waiting like 15min and tried the url dint work
i tried by updating the GUID in NQSconfig and Instances but dint work...
can anyone help me out with his..
thanks everyone

that means the services are not running. yes that can cause this issue. make sure you enter the right credentials and check everything is up and running fine. i think your weblogic is not running(managed server,admin server) once they are up and running then you can access weblogic console and em and from em you can start the BI services.
hope it helps.
Thanks,
RM

Obiee 11G Installation problem

I had uninstalled Obiee 11.1.1.6.0 from Windows7 64-bit environment due to some issues.Next time when I tried to install it in the
same environment,the creation of ASInstance was failed due to some reason which is unknown to me.I have checked by dropping the schema
created by RCU earlier and also created a different schema using RCU still had no luck and faced the same error on Step 13 OF 14(Configuraion
Progress)
A part of my error log said the following:
Caused by: oracle.as.config.exception.LocationAlreadyUsedException: The oracle instance is not empty. Select a different location or remove the instance at this location.
at oracle.as.config.impl.OperationValidator.validateInstanceLocationForCreate(OperationValidator.java:206)
at oracle.as.config.impl.OracleASInstanceImpl.create(OracleASInstanceImpl.java:79)
at oracle.as.provisioning.fmwadmin.ASInstanceProv._createInstance(ASInstanceProv.java:249)
Can somebody recommend a solution to the above as I don't want to format my system.I had also tried to install Obiee on different locations still nothing worked.

Hello,
Have you installing both in different middleware home for example since you have already installed and configured on C:\Oracle\Middleware , then install OBIEE 11.1.1.1.6 using a simple install option on different middleware location like C:\OBIEE_Middleware.You should still be able to connect to essbase after you installing both.
Hope this helps.Pls mark if it does.
Thanks,

Unable to connect to DB from OBIEE 11G

Hello experts
I have successfully installed OBIEE 11G on my Linux machine.. On Windows machine I have installed the client tool. Both are version 11.1.1.7.0.
I have my Tnsname.ora file saved in both Oracle_Home/network/Admin as well as OBIEE/Oracle_BI1/Network/Admin folder..
Now my DB is on a different linux machine, so my TNSname file has the correct entry for that..
I am able to connect to the DB from my OBIEE server machine through Putty by doing : sqlplus username/password@instance
However, from OBIEE side, I am not able to update rowcounts nor viewing reports..

I have a problem using the Obiee 11g 11.1.1.6.0

I have installed the Oracle BI EE suite 11.1.1.6.0. in Win Xp (32bit). And I couldn't view the 'analytic' from the browser an error " Error 404: not found" and sometimes "500 : Internal server error". And I tried to restart the BI services, checked through the console and em as well. I want to whether (11.1.1.6.0) is compatible to run in the xp are is there any prerequisites to be taken care of (or) do I have to rectify any of the installation errors if any. Thank you, Kindly leave your suggestions/comments.

Hi Dhar,
Actually when I try to access the Analytics, Console, Enterprise Manager ( an error occurred saying browser could not connect to the port ).
And when I start the BI services, there only one cmd prompt pop up other than Start BI window.
Then I checked the opmnctl cmd to the path of instances/bin/opmnctl.bat.
The status showed all the BI components are alive.
I am having these prbem and cudn't login into the interface and work on the Obiee 11g.
Anyways Can you suggest me what to do right now ? I feel like trying 11.1.1.5.0 but not sure whether the problem is the version or not.
Thank you,
Krishna

Edited by: 938825 on Jun 12, 2012 7:52 PMHi,
As specified in my last reply too, here are the answers for your issues
1) Actually when I try to access the Analytics, Console, Enterprise Manager ( an error occurred saying browser could not connect to the port ).
Yes, if you try to access analytics on port 9704, it will error out. This is because from 11.1.1.5 onwards, simple install of OBIEE has only one weblogic server on 7001. So you must try the url http://IP:7001/analytics. If you have been trying this already, just check if there are any connectivity issues to the server or firewall etc
2)And when I start the BI services, there only one cmd prompt pop up other than Start BI window.
Yes, since there is only one weblogic server there will be only one command prompt.
You could try accessing all the analytics on 7001 port and see. I think your .6 is perfectly working fine and you do not need to get back to .5
Hope this clears.
Thank you,
Dhar

Passing Chinese characters in OBIEE 11g GO URL to init the dashboard prompt

Hi Experts,
Currently we are using OBIEE 11g and passing the dashboard prompt parameter values through the OBIEE go url. When we are passing English strings the dashboard prompt is initialized with the correct passing value. However for Chinese character it is not. I am using the URLEncoder.encode("parameter value", "UTF-8") encoding to encode the passing string.
Can anyone tell me what is the wrong in this approach? How can we pass any language strings to OBIEE 11g via go url?
Thanks

To avoid encoding problems use POST method. Here is js example for OBIEE 10g, but I bellieve you will find similar XML syntax in 11g.
function getGoXML(P){
     var goXML = '<sawx:expr xmlns:sawx="com.siebel.analytics.web/expression/v1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="sawx:logical" op="and">';
     for (var i=0; i<P.length-1; i=i+2){
          goXML = goXML + '<sawx:expr xsi:type="sawx:comparison" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" op="equal">';
          goXML = goXML + '<sawx:expr xsi:type="sawx:sqlExpression">' + P[i] + '</sawx:expr>';
          goXML = goXML + '<sawx:expr xsi:type="sawx:untypedLiteral">' + P[i+1] + '</sawx:expr>';
          goXML = goXML + '</sawx:expr>';
     goXML = goXML + '</sawx:expr>';
     return goXML;
function dashboardPageNav (navParams){
     var tForm = saw.createForm("customNavForm");
     tForm.action = saw.commandToURL("Dashboard");
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "PortalPath", navParams.portalPath);
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "Page", navParams.portalPage);
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "Action", "Navigate");
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "StateAction", "NewPage");
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "P1", "dashboard");
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "P0", getGoXML(navParams.P));
     tForm.submit();
dashboardPageNav({
     portalPath: '<portal path>',
     portalPage: '<page name>',
     P: new Array(
          '<param1 name>', '<param1 value>',
          '<param2 name>', '<param2 value>',
          '<param3 name>', '<param3 value>',
          '<param4 name>', '<param4 value>'
});

Leela KrishnaOpatch should be higher than OUI version.. Your OPatch is outdated that's why you are receiving the above error
you need to download the latest OPatch by searching http://support.oracle.com for 'How To Download And Install The Latest OPatch Version [ID 274526.1]'
After which you can start with the Patching of OBIEE.
