Logical column currency format properties at rpd level?

I need to show the currency amount with dollar symbol for a logical column and that should happen at rpd level.
Is there anyway we could do that ?
thank you

Hi User.
You can have logical column name as 'Amount in $' or 'Amount in Dollar'
this is the best practice..
Then if you want value to be suffixed by $ , you can go for data formatting in column properties.....
this is commonly used....

Hi,
In BMM layer under sources you can see logical table sources for that Table.Click on the source table of that column and them and go to last tab(Content) and apply filter under where clause.

Timestamp on rpd level

Hi Gurus,
I wanted to use below mentioned query on the rpd level. how will i do this
to_timestamp(to_char(timestamp,'yyyy/mm/dd HH24:MI S'), 'yyyy/mm/dd HH24:MI:S S')
thanks

use the below syntaxes for To_Char and To_timestamp
EVALUATE('TO_TIMESTAMP(%1,%2)' AS timestamp, column1, 'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS')
EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' AS CHARACTER ( 30 ), current_date, 'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS')
replace current_date etc with your relevant columns.
You have to nest one evaluate into another.

Column level filter at RPD level - OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
How do i add a filter at the column level in logical layer for one of the metric , it has the following calculation
case when id in (1,2,3,4,5,5) and category='AS' then case when points=10 or points=9 then 1 else 0 end end
I want the metric to reused for other id's as well... so i want to put case when id in (1,2,3,4,5,5) in filter of the column. how do i achieve it? plz help
Thanks,
Lona

Your question is not clear, I assume you want points to be reused for other ids, so try this
case when id in (1,2,3,4,5,5) and category='AS' then
case when points in (10 ,9) then 1
else 0
end
else points
end
if helps mark

How to do Performance tunning in OBIEE RPD level

Hi All,
We are using OBIEE 10.1.3.4 version on Windows envorinment, currently we are facing performance issues for my reports.For fetching one month data its taking around 9 mins ..so we are planning ,how to reduce these response time .Could you pls suggest me what are possiable ways to do performance improvement in OBIEE level..Here for each day we are gettng around 5 lacks feed into our DB.

Hi
first thing is to check the same query int he data base and see the response time. if this is taking the same amount of time as the obiee reporting tool, then that matters to think with dba to create some materiazlied views on the top of the transactional data and maintain the aggreated data.
hope you understand.
Cheers.

How to calculate Age in the RPD level

I want to create a logical column say 'Age' in the repository. I have the PERS_DOB in the PERSON dimension.
From this I wrote a query to get the age from the PERSON dimension as below.
I am wondering if I can create a logical column in the rpd using the sql or is there any way where I can get the age of the persons calculated as a logical layer in the repository.
select pers_dob, round (((trunc(sysdate)-trunc(pers_dob))/365), 0) from w_pers_d
Thanks in advance.

I have created a repository variable 'currentdate' (to get the sysdate) in the rpd and created a new logical column AGE and in the expression builder I used the below and got the syntax error.
***round((currentdate-trunc("Program Info b".."Program Info b"."W_PGAD_PR_PERS_D"."PERS_DOB" )/365),0)***
***[nQSError: 27002] Near <(>: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012] .***
I thought functions round, trunc are not supported in OBIEE expression builder and tried the below and got a different syntax error.
*[nQSError: 27009] Unresolved identifier: "currentdate".*
Have anyone tried this successfully.
Please let me know.
Thanks/

How to implement row level security using external tables

Hi All Gurus/ Masters,
I want to implement row level security using external tables, as I'm not sure how to implement that. and I'm aware of using it by RPD level authentication.
I can use a filter condition in my user level so that he can access his data only.
But when i have 4 tables in external tables
users
groups
usergroups
webgrups
Then in which table I need to give the filter conditions..
Pl let me know this ...

You pull the Group into a repository variable using a session variable init block, then reference that variable in the data filters either in the LTS directly or in the security management as Filters. You reference it with the syntax VALUEOF("NQ_SESSION.Variable Name")
Hope this helps

How to create stored procedure directely in RPD

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to create stored procedure directly in physical table in rpd level in OBIEE.for this one i have gone through below website.
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2011/01/obiee-using-mssql-stored-procedure-as.html
in that blog they mentioned to write some query which is...........
EXEC [DATABASE_NAME].[SCHEMA_NAME].[PROCEDURE_NAME]
in above query i am not getting what is DATABASE_NAME,SCHEMA_NAME,PROCEDURE_NAME
can any one elobrate this one

Hi nath,
Firstly are you using MYSQL or Oracle as the database,if its oracle database then follow this
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2008/01/obiee-using-oracle-stored-procedure-to.html
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/02/20/oracle-bi-ee-101332-executing-stored-proceduresfunctions-before-reports-before-report-triggers-and-global-temporary-tables/
EXEC [DATABASE_NAME].[SCHEMA_NAME].[PROCEDURE_NAME][DATABASE_NAME] --> is the database name your creating your procedure
[SCHEMA_NAME]-->is the user with which your creating
[PROCEDURE_NAME] --> the name given to procedure
You dont know how to get those run this SQL in TOAD and see select sys_context('userenv','db_name'), sys_context('userenv','session_user') from dual
(OR) open you connection pool properties window in RPD,you will get the DB name and the user name as the schema name
hope answered your question.

Enhancement(Grouping) in a existing dashboard ---Without touching RPD*

Hi All,
I have an existing dashboard as per below.Now i need a similar dashboard with sum of sale per pid per year ie by KEY-VAL.
KEY-VAL is the concatenation of YEAR and PID.
DESC AND TEXT are two empty columns which needs to be there.
At RPD aggregation level is "NONE".Though i have changed it to SUM it did not generate expected output.
CURRENT DASHBOARD
KEY-VAL PID STATE PNAME TEXT SALE DESC YEAR
2011P01 P01 TEXAS SHOES ---- 5000 ---- 2011
2012P02 P02 VEGAS BELTS ---- 3000 ---- 2012
2010P01 P01 SAUDI SHOES ---- 6000 ---- 2010
2010P01 P01 SAUDI SHOES ---- 1000 ---- 2010
EXPECTED DASHBOARD
KEY-VAL PID STATE PNAME TEXT SALE DESC YEAR
2011P01 P01 TEXAS SHOES ---- 5000 ---- 2011
2012P02 P02 VEGAS BELTS ---- 3000 ---- 2012
2010P01 P01 SAUDI SHOES ---- 7000 ---- 2010
I have implemented a few by taking inputs from my previous post like doing sum at column properties of Answers in a Table and Pivot Table but unable to get the exact report that BUSINESS needs.
Also provide additional information that could help me to develop/work on OBIEE dashboard/answers.
Please offer help on this scenario.
Thanks,
Avinash

Yes ,I have verified at RPD level and columns used at answers.
I didnt find any difference in the column types used in both office and home even aggregation level is none at both ....I really spent considerable amount of time for finding the cause....
One approach that was working in answers - Table Select Summation-and used sum of the (sale) --Iti is working but not per my real need.
Any alternate solution to this..
Thanks,
Avinash

Rpd questions.

Hi Friends,
As I am working on OBIEE and getting to know more about it, I am having more and more questions. These might be small but I need to get a clear concept of this.
1. When I pull just dimension columns in 'Answers' and run the query, and when I see the sql in the log file, I see that the fact table is also joined. Does this always happen? Is this the way it is? In my log files for the first few queries I ran I see that only dimension tables are joined in the sql. Not sure why? Could someone please clarify...is the fact table a must join when we select just dimensions in the report.
2. Can we absolutely not do a sum function on the dimesion measure? Will it give incorrect results if we do that. So the sum function would work correctly only for fact measures? Please clarify.

Could someone please clarify...is the fact table a must join when we select just dimensions in the report.+
At the RPD level generally we use to join different dimension tables with a single fact table.so,even though if we pull dimensions from different dimension physical tables it should satisfy all the join conditions of these dimension tables with the common fact table.so,fact table was also added in the sql along with the dimensions.
+2. Can we absolutely not do a sum function on the dimesion measure? Will it give incorrect results if we do that. So the sum function would work correctly only for fact measures? Please clarify.+
It is possible to do a sum function on the dimension measure also but the thing is the data type of the dimension measure should be numeric.

How to use varaibke manager option at RPD in obiee 10g

Hi
At RPD level , can anyone please help on uderstanding how to use the variable manager.
thank you

Hi,
System session variables:
System session variables have reserved names, that cannot be used for other kinds of variables (such as static or dynamic repository variables and non-system session variables).
e.x:
1)
if u want to get and display user login ID,group,timezone...Date and time...etc... can be done by using session variable
2) Exteranl application integration ( java -jsp) by using go url.
here u can specify the session variable and it will passed into Java apps.
3) setting log level by using session varaible
4) u can use it report tittle/header..etc

RPD Security and Migrations

We have a Subject Area where up to 25 columns in the Presentation Layer have security applied. They are denied to the System-level Everyone group and access is provided to Group1.
The way our migrations to the environments work is the Developer provides the RPD and we do a 3-way merge. The issue is the security does not get merged correctly. So if Group1 exists in the Master RPD when we do a 3-way merge groing from the Developer's RPD to the Master it creates another security group called Group#1.
I thought I could use UDML generation to apply the security but UDML does not generate the system-level EVERYONE group so when applying the UDML (nqudmlexec) to the Master the columns have the EVERYONE group defaulted back to Read access.
I am working with Oracle on their best practice for migrating RPD security but I'd like to see how those on the forum handle the migration of RPD level security. So any permissions applied to Presentation Layer catalogs, tables, columns, Phycial connection pools, etc.
How do you maintain that security going from a DEV to a Test to a Prod environment?
Love to hear how others are doing this

Yeah..... In 11g you have separater password for RPD which is not releated to any user. Unless you share the RPD password with user they can not open it in the offline mode. But still this problem persists if a ProjectA user log in and still he could see the project B details.
You are looking at object level security on the Tables. I guess you can implement for the presentation layer.
