Subject areas of BI Answer

if i rename, delete or create a new presentation catalog from Bi Administrator, on BI Answer i don't see the changes in a list of subject areas, why??

Hi,
When you do some modification to your RPD to reflect the changes in the presentation you need to take care of 2 scenarioes:
1St Scenario: If you are working on the Online RPD then in presentation please click the reload server metadata. This link can be found on the left hand bottom when you click answers or you can go to Settings----->Administration------>Reload server metadata.
If you still face the issue then clear your cache. Log off from the session and open the presentation in a new session clearing your cookies.
2nd Scenario: If you are working on the RPD in Offline mode then save your RPD and close the same. Restart your Oracle BI Server and Presentation services and the changed data will be visible in the presentation.

Subject area description as popup in answers?

When we write description for subject area in repository this description appears as a text below subject area name in Answers.
Is there any configuration setting to make it display as a popup (appearing on mouse over)?
Thanks.

I don't think you can do this. I tried using HTML code on the SA description but it gets encoded by OBIEE so that it displays as plain text, not HTML code. I suggest you raise an enhancement request with Oracle.

How to include a new Subject area?

Hi,
1. In my Physical Layer I have ORCL Database and SH physical schema, how do I move it to the Business model and then to Presentation Layer.
2. Once it is moved to Presentation Layer will it appear in the Subject Area of the "Answers".
3. This is an unrelated question to the above two Questions. In the offline mode, the RPD is names as "samplesales.rpd", but when I open it in online mode it says "Analyticsweb" and I do not see the reference to "samplesales.rpd", but it is the correct rpd. Please let me know why?
Thank you.

It is not just moving to business layer and then to presentation layer. In moving the tables to business layer, lot of functionality is addressed. Basically you will be creating star schema here. You need create fact tables and dimensions here. You need to pick columns from the tables that will be used. Take a look at demo to get understanding of how this is works.
Analytics web is the system DSN. You can see this information from odbc data source administrator.

Renaming of subject area

Hi All,
In RPD, I renamed my subject area and in Answers, I changed the subject area name for the reports using the 'Advanced Tab'. But, I get the following error:
"Either you do not have permission to use the subject area "XXX" within Answers, or the subject area does not exist."
The new subject area name has 85 characters. If I specify a name that is less than 80 characters, then I do not get the error when I modify the XML in the 'Advanced' Tab.
Is there any constraint on the length of the subject area name specified in RPD or is it due to some other issue?
Thanks,
Radhika

This might be something new for all of us in this forum where you have Subject Area with more than 80 characters.Please raise the SR with Oracle to see if they have some constraints in naming the subject area.
Thanks

Subject Area diable

Hi
I login administrator account only but i am not able to see subject area for all the report.(it shows Either you do not have permission to use the subject area CERSTA within Answers, or the subject area does not exist.)
How to give privileges for that.I never implemented any RPD level security.
Thanks
Gram

Hi,
If you have not implemented any Subject area level security in the RPD,
the problem might that the subject area has been renamed. Kindly log on to the RPD in online mode and check if the subject area is proper.
Thanks,
Vineeth

Creating Subject Areas in Analytics

Can we create our own subject areas in Analytics Answers in CRM on demand?
How are we going to use joins and facts which we can use in OBIEE at repository level

Thanks for your reply
I am not going to use OBIEE at all as my source..I just want to compare OBIEE and Oracle CRM on demand.
As creating dashboards and Reports in Oracle CRM on demand is similar to creating reports and dashboards in OBIEE.
Please can you give me any document or URL for same.
Thanks

Problem after renaming Subject Area

Hi,
After renaming de Subject Area in Administration I´m not able to edit the reports built with this Subject Area. A message shows up in the columns pane telling something like "either you don´t have permission to use the subject area XXX within answers or the subject area does not exist".
What´s going on?
I really need help.

Check the "Aliases" tab of the presentation catalog (Subject Area) that you renamed. It should contain the previous name of your presentation catalog. If that doesn't exist, your reports should get the errors you have mentioned.

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%?

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.

Elio
