Subtotal in single subject area

HI Experts,
i have dim table where i have 5 record like below
Dim1
dim2
dim3
dim4
dim5
for subtotal i am going to split as
dim1 + dim2 as subtotal 1
then
dim3 dim4dim5 as subtoal 2
now i have already used all records,further if i try to split like
dim1+dim2+dim3 as subtotal 3 i am not getting last subtotal since i have already used ,this i can do using union,but is it possible to do in single subject area and not combined subject area

Thanks for reply,
ok think i have record like this
dim1 100
dim2 200
dim3 300
dim4 400
dim5 500
for subtotal i am going to split as
dim1 + dim2 as subtotal 1
then
dim3 dim4dim5 as subtoal 2
so my result will be like
dim1 100
dim2 200
subtotal1 300**
dim3 300
dim4 400
dim5 500
subtoal2 1200 *
now i need one more subtotal3 like dim1+ dim2+dim3..so my result will be like this
dim1 100
dim2 200
subtotal 1 300**
dim3 300
dim4 400
dim5 500
subtoal2 1200 *
subtotal3 600* (dim1+dim2+dim3)
Note*i have used combined request here,so i cannot use new calculation i belive
i can use one more combine and do this ,but is it possible to do without additional combine request

Multiple Facts in single subject area

Hi everyone,
Is there an optimal way to get multiple facts into a single subject area? The only way I've managed to get multiple facts into a single subject area is to go the route of creating hierarchies for all dimensions, setting up all the content levels for both the fact and dimension tables and finally creating aggregated measures for all the fact tables. However, when you setup these different hierarchies and content levels, the queries which are generated tend to get fairly nasty and seem to be slow. Another pesky issue is that I've had to create pseudo columns for all facts, so that if a report is using one dimension from FACT A and one dimension from FACT B, then you have to include this pseudo column from both facts so that OBIEE knows which tables are involved in the query. Without including these pseudo columns in the report, the OBIEE engine gets a little confused and puts up an error.
I'd prefer to find a better way to do the multiple fact implementation without having to have the massive queries and pseudo columns, but I'm not sure what the other options out there are. Anyone know the best way to accomplish this?

Hi Wildmight,
You are exactly right.
Here's an example of what I'm trying to accomplish. We have a TIME SHEET fact table which has things like a work date, an employee ID, a work order number and the hours which were worked. The work orders can be against one or more pieces of equipment. There is a second fact table which models the one to many relationship between work orders and equipment.
The model would look a little like this:
Join on WORK ORDER NUMBER Join on WORK ORDER NUMBER
TIME SHEET FACT <-----------------------------------------------WORK ORDER Dimension ----------------------------------------------> WORK ORDER EQUIPMENT FACT
We would like to create a report that shows the number of hours from the time sheets fact grouped by the piece of equipment from the work order equipment fact. I've been able to setup this report using the method I described in my first post, but like I said, the generated SQL is massive and seems somewhat unnecessary.
I think I'd have to say the grains of the facts are different since they providing to different pieces of information.
I haven't done too much multiple LTS experimentation. I'm working from a single data warehouse source which should be robust enough to handle any reporting requirements. Even though I know OBIEE can do some clever combining of tables using the LTS; if data sets need to be consolidated, I'm trying to keep that work in the database via ETLs in order to keep the work that OBIEE has to do down to a minimum.

How add new column in analysis from two subject area

which is the right way to add a new column to an existing combined analysis from two subject areas?
if I add the new column first in my two combined queries, then I saw a new column in the results column panel, but this new column is empty and I can't edit its propreties (the button edit column doesn't work). I can't even save the modified analysis due to a "bad xml" errror.
if I try to first add a new column from the results panel and then in my combined queries, obiee says that new columns are not of the same type.
I suppose this is because the new column in results panel has no aggregation formula, unlike new columns in queries.
But I don't know how to change the properties of the new field in the results panel, with no subject area available.
I have to restart from a single subject area? possible?
In this case, there is a way to save/copy filters ecc. from the old analysis?
If anyone can help.
Thanks
Luc

When you are using union clause in analysis or combining with other subject area you suppose to have same number of columns and their datatypes with other analysis.
for datatype issues you can use cast in column expression in each analysis. If you want to add a column only from 1 analysis just add and in other analysis use dummy column with exp 0 or ''(for char) based on the datatype.
These you have to deal with each analysis.
If helps pls mark

Subject Area not showing for Single Logical Table Repository Schema

Hi
I'm trying to create a very simple OBIEE repository schema for a sales proof of concept. The schema consits of a single physical table, single BMM (logical) table and a single presentation table.
I have created all the layers OK. However, when I check for global consistancy i get an error message 'Logical table SALES_POC does not join to any other logical table'. Now i understand this error, but in this case this is how the design is intended. However, if ignore this error i'm not seeing the new subject area after bouncing BI server & BI presentation services.
Anyone know a way round this, or do i need to have at least 2 logical tables?
Thanks
James

Yes I think RPD is in the correct folder & NQSConfig.INI is set correctly.
RPD is called ethreeCustomv1.RPD & saved in /ora/biee/10.1.3.4/OracleBI/server/Repository
NQSConfig.INI has the following definition:
[ REPOSITORY ]
BIEE = ethreeCustomv1.rpd, DEFAULT;
[ CACHE ]
ENABLE = NO;

Multiple Subject Areas

Somewhat new so please forgive me if the question is simple (if it is, please point me in the right direction). I've looked through the documentation and this forum, but have not found what I'm looking for yet.
I am trying to get a single worksheet to pull data from multiple subject areas (two or more fact tables). I would prefer to not join fact tables together, and so I have not created the joins between the folders (fact tables) because I thought the performance would generally be horrible. (example of functionality I'm looking for: I want to combine Sales and Inventory data on one worksheet).
I have kind of tried complex folders, but I would prefer to have the tool generate the SQL if possible because it won't just be me creating reports, and if it's possible, I'd like to avoid coding the SQL myself every time I want to join subject areas.
I also looked at Custom Folders, but my understanding is that they are used primarily to join 1 fact table with multiple dimensional tables, but not multiple fact tables (at least that was the example in the documentation).
My current setup is a 2 tier environment, with just Disco Admin and Disco Desktop on top of 10g. We don't have AS yet so I can't test anything that way.
I appreciate any comments in advance.
Nate

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.

Presentation Layer model not appearing in Subject Area (OBIEE 11g)

Hi All
I have created the OBIEE metadata for an OLAP cube using the following steps:
1. Created and Maintained a single OLAP cube using AWM (5 measures and 3 dimensions).
2. Created new OBIEE metadata repository using BI Administrator.
3. Exported CUBE metadata to OBIEE Administrator using OBIEE Plug-in for AWM.
4. Saved the new repository after checking for global consistency.
5. Uploaded the new repository to BI server using BI Enterprise Manager (http://localhost:7001/em).
6. Restarting all BI services from Enterprise Manager for repository changes to take effect.
7. Create a new user using Weblogic Console in Security Realm 'myRealm' and assigning it to group 'BIConsumers' using (http://localhost:7001/console).
8. Logging into BI Analytics as new user using (http://localhost:9704/analytics)
But for some reason, the cube is still not showing up under the 'Subject Area Contents'. Am I missing any step in between?
My platform is as folllows:
- Oracle Business Intelligence EE v. 11.1.1.3.0
- AWM 11.1.0.7.0B
- Windows 2008 Server (32-bit)
Any assistance will be appreciated.

Extended Subject Area is throwing error

Hi All,
I am working on consolidation of OBIEE reports and create single RPD.
We have OBIA as primary repository. One plant is on legacy system. We have created a new schema in EBS database and loaded data to this new schema.
I created a new Physical layer, BMM and Subject area in RPD.
I can see this extended subject area in the RPD.
Whenever I am trying to run a report, I get following error -
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Error Details
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. Please have your System Administrator look at the log for more details on this error. (HY000)
But at the same time the standard Subject area work fine and give output.
Did anyone face such issue? Request help from the group on this.

Yes. I can query the tables.
When I update row count then row counts are updated successfully.
The important part is that the database tables for both the subject area are in same database, just different schema.
One subject area ( standard) gives results without any issue. The extended subject area pointing to new schema is giving error. The data is in same database.

Fields from 2 different Subject Area via inner or outer join

Hi All
I have a requirement where I have to pull columns which are available in 2 different Subject Areas.
For eg. Col1 and Col2 in one SubjectArea1/Report1 and Col2 and Col3(obviously not available in SubjectArea1) in second SubjectArea2/Report2.
The resultant expected is a single report with Col1, Col2 and Col3.
SUBJECTAREA1/REPORT1---- SUBJECTAREA2/REPORT2----------- FINAL REPORT(on Inner/Outer join)
col1,col2----------------------------col2,col3-----------------------------------col1,col2,col3
Please let me know how to achieve this

Outter Joins are not available within On Demand. Please let me know what Objects you are trying to user here for SubjectArea One and SubjectArea Two?

Subject areas and connection pools

Hi,
Could you let me know what is the best option for me. We have tables coming from single data source. We are doing diffferent subject areas based on the requirements. My question is is it best to do different connection pools for each subject area or just do one connection pool for all subject areas.

Hi friend,
i think the best option depends on number of user will use the application. If you a have a high number of user on each subject data, i think it will be better have a connection pool per subject area, because the connection pool have a maximum number of concurrent connection. On the other hand, if you have a few number of user, one connection pool will be enough.
For futher information, take a look to next link:

I hope this solve your doubt.

Configure Subject Areas

How do I configure multiple subject areas in OBIEE 11G?
Thanks,
Akshatha

Hi,
You said u r using obiee11g version right, in this if u want to change the RPD,Catalog you need to delpoyee via weblogic Enterprise Manager.
refer the below link for deployeeing.
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2010/08/obiee11g-deploying-new-rpd.html
second think,
better to keep mulitple subject area in the same RPD. if you have mulitple RPD first merg it everything into Single RPD then it should work.

Dashboard Prompt to filter multiple Subject Areas (in a Combined Analysis)

I have a Combined Analysis where I am combining multiple Subject Areas. I want to add this report to a dashboard to use a dashboard prompt to filter by the Year.
The problem I have is because the 'Year' value in each subject area has a different Column Formula ("Close Date"."Calendar Year" and "- Custom Number/Integer (Custom Object 2)".INDEXED_NUM_0)) I'm unable to have a single 'Year' prompt filter both Column Formulas.
I have it currently working by creating two dashboard prompts - one for each subject area - that each ask for the Year to filter by.
Is there a way to have a single prompt for Year and somehow have that filter both subject area's 'Year' value?

I have tried a bit with no luck.
In the Dashboard Prompt on that 'Year' filter I set the Presentation Variable to 'FILTER_YEAR'.
I then set the filter in the report to be Equal to a Presentation Variable with the Variable Expr set to 'FILTER_YEAR'.
When I run the report and enter the filter year it doesn't bring back any data for that report.
Anybody have experience using the Presentation Variables?
Thanks

Google Map Issue in OBIEE - Subject area not getting associated

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to integrate Google map and OBIEE via mapviewer. We have done the following already -
1. Loaded World Sample data from Navteq.
2. Configured mapviewer source and added Google map as a tile layer with the API KEY.
3. Imported one layer (e.g. M_STATES_ABRV) in OBIEE and linked it with BI subject area (tried this step with importing other layers as well)
4. Added background map.
Now , in this step when we add the layer in the map, we select M_STATES_ABRV and change zoom levels. But Once we come back to main screen after Clicking OK, we see the background map is not associated with the subject area. Hence any map view report creation with this subject area fails.
We have the tried the same theme with Oracle Maps (internal type like WORLD MAP or DEMO MAP), it works fine. only Google Map gives this issue.
This was not expected. Please suggest what we missed. We tried with cache clear, tile delete and recreation, service restart almost everything .
We looked into other threads in this community, different oracle support documents - Doc ID 1485088.1,Doc ID 1346805.1 etc and in different internet blogs - where it's easy as child's play, but we are still out of luck.
OBIEE version - 11.1.1.7.140527
Environment- windows server 2008 R2
Please suggest.
Regards,
Krish

I have found the solution: You need to *select* zoom levels for the BI Layer. When a BI Layer is added to a background map, by default no zoom layers are selected. Once a zoom level is selected, the BI Layer will save.

Need Help to develop a Funnel Graph Report using Multiple Subject Areas.

Hi Everybody,
Did any body developed Funnel based graph report in Answers..
Scenario: I need to develop a report which is based on 4 Facts(4 Subject Areas) Report is sectioned with 4 block one blovk with one Fact Metrics like this four blocks.
If any idea on such scenario it will be huge benefit for me.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Govardhana

Yes, i can see datatype and number of columns is same in both queries.
i have challanges to copy message but Error message seems to general. Error says (near to FROM) and I checked there are three FROM in query and all seems to be ok
Query is something like as below
select SA1.col1 saw_0,
SA1.col2 saw_1,
SA2.col1 saw_2,
SA2.col2 saw_3,
FROM
(select col1 saw_0, col2 saw_1 from "subject area1") SA1
FULL OUTER JOIN
(select col1 saw_0, col2 saw_1 from "subject area2") SA2
ON SA1.col1 = SA2.col1
I can't see any issue in the query...please comment.

Report using colmns from 2 subject areas

Hi,
I have to buld a report as below
Product      ForecastRevenue(A)       ActualRevenue(B)       Variance
A                200                                      100                           100
B                200                                      200                            0
ForecastRevenue(A) comes from 1 subject area and ActualRevenue(B) comes from another subject area. Using these 2 columns from different subject area I have to create
a calculated column variance which is the difference of two columns. How can I create this report. Any idea?

can be done in two ways;
1. Using Union report
Create a union report with two request.
Request1 -          product               Forecast_Revenue     Actual Revenue
Col expression     "product.name"     "Fact.Revenue"         0
Request2 -          product               Forecast_Revenue     Actual Revenue
Col expression      "product.name"    0                             "Fact.ACTUAL_Revenue"
In the result tab create a pivote report and set the aggregation of fact column as sum.
Add a calculated column and write the expression as
Farecast_Revenue - Actual_Revenue
You are done.
2. Use the advance tab in the report and write a custom SQL to join these two subject area.
eg.
select product, A.forecast_reveneu, B.Forecast_Reveneue, A.forecast_reveneu-B.Forecast_Reveneue
from SA1 A join SA2 B on (A.product=B.PRODUCT)
You are done.
Best of Luck,
Kashi
