Subject Areas are inaccessible in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
We are facing a peculiar issue in our OBIEE environment. Some times when we update RPD in online mode and check in the changes, other developers are not able to access few Subject Areas though they have Read access for Everyone group. Today we faced this issue even when RPD is not updated.
Any help/suggestions on this will be helpful
Thanks,
Vijay

ours is a simple security model. we had issue with some new roles created for POC purpose. After removing those roles we are not facing issue anymore

Issue in Dashboard Prompt of OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I had recently migrated from OBIEE 10g to OBIEE 11g.
I had found that there are lot of things which were working on OBIEE 10g are not working in OBIEE 11g.
For Eg:
I have scenario where i have 2 dashboards with different dashboard prompts.
- *1st Dashboard*: I have prompt with 4 columns Year, Month, Qtr and Week. I can filter the data based on the selection of prompt.i.e Summary Report showing all KPIs and when clicked on the any of the KPI it goes to Below report which shows the graphical view of past weeks data.
- Report: Here i show all the week Ids in the Graph format and when clicked on the any week id it navigates to 2nd Dashboard(below) with appropriate week populated in the prompt and show the detailed records.
- *2nd Dashboard*: I have prompt with 5 columns Year, Month, Qtr, Week and Day of the Week with some detailed report. Here the only Week Id should be pre populated and show data based on the week id selection in the above report.
The issue here in OBIEE 11g is, The month Id which was selected in 1st Dashboard prompt is also getting pre populated into the 2nd dashboard prompt. Which should not happen.
Note: This was working fine in OBIEE 10g.
Is there any way to fix this issue in OBIEE 11g.
Regards
Shyam

Hi Bala,
Thank you for your response.
I had tried that and resolved my problem but it was impacting other reports i.e
I have other reports in 1st Dashboard with different tabs, Here i want the prompt value to be persisted across the reports in same dashboard so that when i go to other tab with in same dashboard the prompt value should be pre-populated and the data should be filtered against that.
Now if i change the scope to page then i will be loosing this functionality.
It was working on OBIEE 10g and i lost this after migrating to OBIEE 11g.
Can you please help me in this regard.

Operating system support (standard and enterprise ) in OBIEE 11g

Hi
Can any one help me in whether OBIEE 11g installation will be possible in both standard & enterprise edition operating system of windows server 2003 and windows server 2008 or not.
Thanks in advance.

OBIEE 11g is an application which runs on the Weblogic Application Server. Then if the windows plateform are supported for Weblogic, OBIEE 11g is also supported.
I assume that you talk about Standard Edition one and Enterprise Edition.
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/_detail/dat/obiee/obi_edition.jpg?id=dat%3Aobiee%3Astart
When we talked about Standard Edition on 10g, it was not about Oracle BI but on Discover for the reporting plateform.
If you want to be really sure, you can ask it to your representative sale.
Cheers

Priventing WLS user from login into OBIEE 11g

I have 100+ users in Weblogic. Only some users say 60 are allowed to access OBIEE 11g.
How do I prevent other users from login into OBIEE (When they have OBIEE url :) ).
Thanks,
Mod

Hello,
You can put those 60 users in a group say OBIEE_Users and use this group in All Users Filter in WLS.
User Base DN : DC=CORP,DC=NET
All user Filter : (&(memberof=CN=OBIEE_Users,OU=BIUsers,DC=CORP,DC=NET)(cn=*)(objectclass=user))
User from name filter : (&(cn=%u)(objectclass=user))
Refer to this example on how its configured : http://paulcannon-bi.blogspot.com/2012/07/configuring-ldap-authentication-for.html
Hope this helps. Please mark if it does.

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
Edited by: mhathi on Oct 21, 2010 8:53 AM

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%?

Multiple Subject Area - OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have to do cross-subject area operations in OBIEE 11g. Here is what I have found out:
1. There is an option to use Union/Intersect operations which creates a Union query
2. There is an option to use 'Add/Remove Subject Area' which can be used to combine Attributes/Facts across multiple Subject Areas.
I am looking forward more details on second point above but unfortunately there isn't an official document by Oracle on it.
As I understand, by using 'Add/Remove Subject Area', OBIEE does not create a UNION query but it combines the attributes as if they are used through same Subject Area. So, it is not a typical join as I dont see something like Subject Area 1.Key = Subject Area 2.Key in Query log which brings me to a question:
Is it possible to use the option to combine attributes across Subject Area based off Multiple BMM in RPD? I think the answer is NO because I don't think there is a way for OBIEE to combine results sets from different BMM.
Thoughts?

I am afraid but I am not able to follow your suggestion. I will try to make it very simple:
1. We create Subject Areas in RPD
2. Each Subject Area will be based on BMM created in RPD. Now, you can have multiple Subject Areas which are again based on BMM itself.
3. I can also create multiple BMM within RPD.
Something like:
BMM A, Subject Areas - 1A and 2A
BMM B, Subject Areas - 1B and 2B
From above, consider you have created two BMM's - A and B and within each BMM there are two Subject Areas. 1A and 2A in BMM A and 1B and 2B in BMM B.
Now, when I logon to Answers, when I click on New->Analysis, I would see four Subject Areas - 1A, 2A, 1B and 2B. Suppose I select 1A. Now, when I try to use Add/Remove Subject areas option, I can only see 1B (because both of them are from same BMM - A). I won't see 2A and 2B.
So, this brings me to conclusion that you cannot combine attributes from different BMM using 'Add/Remove Subject Areas'. You can however use UNION/INTERSECT to do the operation but Add/Remove Subject Areas is limited to be used when your Subject areas are connected in the same BMM.
Is my understanding correct?

OBIEE 11g agents are failed to connect to Essbase

OBIEE 11g agents are failed to connect to Essbase. We are using :USER & :PASSWORD (SSO) in connection pool setting to connect to Essbase.
User account exists in both OBIEE and Essbase. OBIEE dashboards which are based on Essbase are working fine. Essbase variables in RPD are upto date.
Only agents are failing and error says invalid credentials, but dashboard pages are running without any issue.
OBIEE: 11.1.1.5 (BP4)
Essbase: 11.1.2.1

OBIEE 11g Report-When drilling down to lower level, totals are not matching

Hi All,
I am creating a report in Analytics 7.9.6.3 , OBIEE 11g - Let’s say Budget Cost/Actual Cost based on the Date Dimension
Have selected the Fiscal Year Dim, Fact Budget Cost, Fact Actual Cost
FY BCost ACost
2011 100 120
2012 150 140
Total 250 260
But here when I am drilling down from Year to Quarter and Period - The values are not matching with the totals....
FY FY Qrt BCost ACost
2011 2011 Q1 80 100
2011 Q2 100 90
2011 Q3 110 120
2011 Q4 90 130
Total 380 440
Fiscal Year, Fiscal Quarter Budget Cost and Actual Cost are not returning correct results – When selecting cost's by fiscal year, or filtering on a specific fiscal year, the amount returned does not equal the fiscal year total;
when I am drilling down to Quarter and Period Level the BCost & ACosts are bumping the Numbers as above and not matching with totals
Any suggestions?

Check out the query in both the times.Execute against database and try to sum the data for quarter/period and compare it with Year data.
Just try to differentiate is it a report total that is getting wrong or the data in the database table itself is getting wrong stored.
Mark as helpful if it helps.

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
SAWITH0 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)
select D1.c1 as c1, D1.c2 as c2, D1.c3 as c3 from ( select distinct 0 as c1,
D1.c2 as c2,
D1.c1 as c3
from
SAWITH0 D1
order by c2 ) D1 where rownum <= 65001
and changes to:
WITH
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')) ) ),
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),
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))
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
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,
Dhar

Obiee 11g multidimensional cubes are very slow

Hi,
I've noticed that navigation in multidimensional cubes by obiee11g is very very slow, above all in comparison with the microsoft excel plugin.
I've Essbase 11.1.3 (I hope to remind well) and obiee 11.1.1.3.0.
Someone have the same problem?
Thanks

HI Andy ,
Observer the similar kind of performance problem in OBIEE 11g with Oracle Cube build using AWM 11g version .
The same cube access using OBIEE 10g repository is very fast .
I have seen one of my 10g report coming within 30 secs where in 11g it is even hard to come on before 5 minutes .
Just have seen in SR that there are inherent problem of OBIEE 11.1.1.5 version regarding the performance and Oracle asked to apply couple of patch to fix the behavior .

Which Subject Areas are Being Used?

I am afraid I know the answer to this, but am hoping someone out there has a solution. We have several subject areas in presentation services, several of which I imagine are not being used. Is there a report or query that can be run to see what subject areas are/aren’t used in reports?
Thanks!

My wifi network is 802.11n but there are times changing for 802.11g, and have to restart ... after the update for Mountain Lion... Help!!!
Several problems with Mountain Lion, APP STORE (login/logout error), WIFI(802.11n for 802.11g), MAIL (horrible)... Apple, what is happening?

Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
