Subject Area for GL

Hi,
As far as I understand for BI Apps Fin implementation on top of EBS there are three parts: AP, AR and GL.
Witch are the corresponding subject areas that should be executed in order to obtain GL information?
For AP I suppose the corresponding subject area is Financials - Payables and for AR Financials - Receivables. Please correct me if I'm wrong...
Thanks,
I.

Hi,
To extract all finantials information you should include the following subject areas in the same execution plan:
"Financials - Payables"
"Financials - Receivables"
"Financials - General Ledger"
"Financials - Budgets"
"Financials - Cost of Goods"
"Financials - Revenue"
Regards!

Seperate Subject area for Dashboard Prompts

Hi,
Is there any way by which we can create seperate subject areas for OBIEE dashboard prompt only??
Thanks

Hi,
Yes we can create separate subject areas for dashboard prompt's alone. Here is a case
Say we need to create a constraint enabled prompt in our dashboard. So we bring in two dimension columns into the prompt.
When we run the prompt, the queries across these two dimensions go through a fact table (Because the only way two different dimensions can be joined is through a fact . This fact table is chosen by BI Server intelligently at run time and that can be set through Implicit Fact column also though). In this case there is a chance that some of the dimension rows might get skipped in the constrained prompt as all of the records might not be present in the fact table.
To mitigate this issue, we might want to create a separate subject area for dashboard prompts alone (using some fact less fact or by having a surrogate key in the 2nd dimension table etc).
Hope I am clear :)
Thank you,
Dhar

Is it possible to hide a Subject area for user and still make dashboards

Hi,
I have requirement like i need to hide Subject Area for perticular user but still i need to allow him to run dashboard Reports developed on that hiding subject area.
means 'User should not see the Subject area but he shoud be able to run reports'.
is it possible in any way..?
Any Help appreciated..
Thank You,
Anil Kumar

Hi,
Try this one out
1) Create a new dashboard based on some other presentation catalog lets say p1.
2) Drag drop reports from required presentation catalog lets say p2 onto this dashboard.
3) Go to settings>Administration>manage presentation catalog and remove access from p2.
4) Give read only permission on dashboard created. It will make sure that you don't get edit dashboard option for that page.
In this way he won't be able to see p2 catalog in answers and still be able to access some reports on dashboard.

Sandeep

OBIEE 11g: Searching Subject Area for measure names in Answers

Hello,
I have installed OBIEE 11g SampleApp 825 and just exploring the provided set of dashboards.
From the samples, I am performing following steps:
- I selected Edit Dashboard (for 2.1 Simple Demo Dashboard)
- For Column 2, in the Master Detail 1 Compound View, I did Edit Analysis
- which took me into the Answers design interface with 4 tabs (Criteria, Results, Prompts, Adv).
In the Criteria tab, there is the Subject Area pane on the left where it shows the Subject Area this Answers report is built on and a bunch of Folders like Time, Products, Base Facts etc.
Beside the Subject Area pane, is the Selected Columns pane where you drop fields from the folders.
This particular analysis (Product Line Analysis) has three columns: Revenue Analysis, Products Hierarchy and T05 Per Name Year.
Now, I want to find the folder to which the Revenue Analysis measure belongs. So, I started expanding each node/folder in the Subject Area pane and visually searching for "Revenue Analysis"....cannot find it!
How to determine which Subject Area folder a field on the Analysis belongs to? In Oracle Discoverer, only the Folders from which fields are selected are "enabled" so it's easy to navigate straight to that folder. Or again, in Discoverer, you can actually search for a particular field name and it will return all folders that have that field name pattern. While the Search feature on the top row is useful in finding which Analysis/Report match a string, it does not help in identifying relevant Subject Area Folder fields that match a pattern.
Is something similar available in Answers/OBIEE 11g?
Thanks,
Manish

Again answering part of my own question...It was staring me right in the eye and I couldn't see it:-)...When you have a column in the Selected Columns pane, it's source is right there above the field name. If there is no source folder listed, then it might mean it's a formula. For example in my case, the Products Hierarchy column has the word Product above it...that's the folder it belongs to.
Good. But, the follow-on question still remains, how to search for folders containing a particular string, to find say all folders that have columns like %Margin%?

In the presentation layer of your RPD you can set the permission for each subject area.

Firefox not showing multiple subject areas for OBIEE source

Creating a new data set using the Oracle BI EE source. The dropdown list of subject areas won't drop down in Firefox, so I can't select any subject area other than the first one. It works properly in IE.
Anybody else noticed this?
OBIEE 11.1.1.6.9 with Firefox 18.0.2 or 21.0.

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.

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to create a generic user for a subject area so that all the 10 users of that particular subject area should able login with the same username and if they create any reports it should be saved to their individual my folders, which means all the users should have their individual folders even though they login with one generic userid. Can anyone help me in this. Actually is this possible?

...log on with one userid...for all intents and purposes they are THAT user.
Not possible.

How to limit data for a dimension in any subject area?

Hi folks,
I do have a little problem, maybe you can help me:
I have a large subject area for all my countries and product i sell there.
now i want to have special subject areas for certain countries.
that for i ducplucated my large subject area, went to the identity manager and there I set special Rights für the users: I chose my fact measure and put a data filter for it on the dimension country.countryname = Germany.
I hope you can fallow me until here. ;-)
Now I can build a query in answers and it works, within this subject area I only get data for Germany.
BUT: when I'm on the criteria tab and try to create a filter on my countryname (from the dimension) it shows me all the countries I have.
I think for the end users this is a litte bit confusing.
So how do I limit the dimension in this subject area to a particular value?
I would be very happy for help, cause then I could finish my development for today ;-)
Kind regards,
Sven

Try this; @BMM Fact source properties->Content tab->WHERE clause section add the dimension country.countryname = 'Germany'.
Also set the implicit fact on the subject area.
Let us know how it works

Security for subject area in obiee 11.1.1.6

Hi every one,
I have installed obiee 11.1.1.6 and applied the patches 13794002,13884769,13887566,13892934,13916045,13926409,13932572
Here the problem is when i am setting permission as denied to r subject areas for users,still they are able to view that subject area and able to fetch data.
For rest of the components security is working fine. But for subject areas it is not working as expected.
Do anyone else faced this problem or is there any other patch i need to apply to overcome this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Devarasu,
Thanks for your reply.
I have waited for 3 hours and even restarted the obiee services.
But even then users who are denied with permission for some subject areas can able to access them.
Thanks you very much.

Using of already existing logical tables and columns in a new subject area.

Hi Every one,
i am new to OBIEE technology.
In my project i need to create a new subject area for already existing RPD.
In that RPD there are some logical tables and column created for previous project and i need to use those in this new subject area that i am going to create.
My question is what is the best way to use them .
I mean just to drag and drop them into new subject area or any other way.
please have your valuable suggestions
thanking you

Yes, you can basically copy paste all the tables that you need from BMM layer into your new folder in the presentation layer. Just make sure all the joins are defined well between all the tables that exists in the new folder, so you wont end up running into ODBC errors when you run analysis.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

User can see the subject are but nothing under the subject area.

Hi
I have OBIEE 11g.
I was thinking this is a very simple case where I have one subject area for which I want to create a user such that it can create analysis and reports on that subject area.
I BIAdmin can do that currently.
So I created a new user in console. Under the 'Groups' tab of this user, I choose 'BIAuthors' from the 'Parents Group Available'.
Then I logged in as this user. User was able to see the subject area but only the header. When it clicks on the expand ( + icon in tree) it expands to nothing.
So i logged into the rpd and Under Identity -Manage , and open the properties for BIAuthor. and under Permissions , I gave BIAuthor the permission to the subject area.
That did not help.
I also opened the subject area from the presentation layer and under permission I made sure that "Everone" has Read access.
But even after a bounce the user just sees the header and it expands to nothing,
Any suggestion.
(I was also thinking that why do I see BIAuthors in weblogic where as BIAuthor in rpd (without s ). I was thinking the rpd BIAuthor is something from 10g version.
Thanks for all the help.

Hi,
Better to decline the subfolder permissions from the user @answers,then user can only see the subject area but he can't access the subfolders...
mark if helpful/correct...

Active Subject Area

When I create reports and I use the Active Subject area for my heading there are many items in there that we do not use. Having them makes it take much longer to find the ones I want to use. Is there a way to delete them?

expand Service Request folder and then expand Service Request Custom Fields folder now the new field should be there

Historical Reporting With Multiple Subject Areas

Hi All,
I am working on to decide the best way to create repository. I do have a requirement from my client that they need to see both Current and Historical Reporting via OBIEE. I am keeping Type 2 SCD. My model consists of about 30 fact tables - each of them represents a business process/event.
Following are my options:
1) One Subejct Area to keep current/historical reporting. Here the joins would be based on PK/FK relationships with Effective Start and Effective End dates. There is a flag in all tables to find the most updated record. Users can use the flag to find the most updated record or use Effective Start and Effective End dates to go point in time.
2) Create two Subject Areas - Current and Historical reporting. Current one will include the flag logic to get the most updated record in RPD
3) Create multiple Subject Areas for each Fact table and use Combining Multiple Subject Area approach to join Subject Areas. Additionally, create one Subject Area for Historical Reporting (that will have all the tables in one SA)
I am thinking of going ahead with option 3) This will have Subject Areas for all logical facts (for Current reporting) and one Subject Area for Historical reporting.
Is this a standard design? Any inputs?

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.
