Unable to drop BMM Dimension to Presentation Layer

The BMM Dimension is based on Location_D. At first level I have country (1attribute of location_d) and is made as a key for first level. At second level I have state (also as key & 2 attribute of location_d) The preferred drill down path at first level is pointed to second level.
When I try to drop dimension to Presentation layer, it doesnt allow. I do not get any errors during consistency check.
I am using OBIEE10g on a Windows XP system.
Is there anything that is wrong?
Regards,
Prem.

If you are creating a Presentation catalog based on BMM then, mouse right click on Presentation layer and create manually and drag and drop from BMM.
If your case is adding column to existing Presentation catalog's Presentation table; See the related BMM to that Presentation catalog, you may use mouse right click and Related to.
If these are not helping send me rpd with details to my email I do it for you.
Mark if helps

Getting extra NULL row in presentation layer when we use CASE in RPD

Hi,
We have created some time utility members in RPD like Previous month, Previous quarter.
Steps:
We have created a init block for capturing Previous month, Previous quarter and added variables with some default values assigned.
Now, we have created a logical column under time dimension in BMM as Previous month, Previous quarter. We are deriving them using following way.CASE
WHEN
MONTH_COL_NAME=VALUEOF(REPOSITORY_VAR_NAME)
THEN
MONTH_COL_NAME
END
We want these dimension values to qualify with measures.
The problem we are facing is it is showing one extra blank row in presentation layer when we bring Previous month or Previous quarter. This is because CASE conditions behaviour. How to avoid null in CASE condition in RPD?
Thanks,
Anilesh

You need to handle the records which are not equals to REPOSITORY_VAR_NAME.
I guess those other rest of values .
Try this
CASE
WHEN
MONTH_COL_NAME=VALUEOF(REPOSITORY_VAR_NAME)
THEN
'Y'
ELSE 'N'
END
in criteria use Y as filter value
If helps pls mark

Rename columns in Presentation layer

Hi Experts,
I Have one BMM layer table with 2 groups columns like
BMM Table
Sales
Revenue
Sum
Sales_ B Group
Revenue_ B Group
Sum_ B Group
Now I want to show these columns in two tables i.e. A table and B table with same column names in presentation layer as below:
Presentation A table Presentation B table
Sales Sales
Revenue Revenue
Sum Sum
In BMM layer it should be Sales_ B Group but in presentation table it should show as Sales as vice verse for other 2 columns for B group columns
If I rename Sales_ B Group as Sales in BMM layer it won’t accept because already sales column is there my requirement is in BMM layer in should as Sales_ B Group but in presentation layer the same column it should show as Sales .

Rafi

Hi Rafi,
Can you right click on your presenatation layer and create a new presentation table (EG: Table A) -- and then move the columns from bmm layer and rename them as per your req.
Now right click again.. create one more Pres. table (EG: Table B) -- and then move the columns from bmm simply drag and drop and rename as per your req.
Thank you.

How can I import db column comments into the OBIEE presentation layer?

We have a very well designed data mart - it is a star schema and all the fact and dimension table columns have comments in them with their definition and use. There is virtually no change required in the physical or business layer. The only modifications done in the presentation layer was to hide the Pk/Fk columns.
Is there a way to import these column comments into the presentation layer so that the business user can see this comment in the tool tip while hovering over the presentation column in Answers?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I assume the comments you mean are stored in user_tab_comments and user_col_comments.
When this is the case you should do the following:
Go to your subject area in your presentation layer. For now I assume the name of this subject area is "Subject Area".
Then right click on this subject area and check "Externalize Descriptions".
Then create an initialization block (session) using this query:
(select 'CD_Subject_Area_' || table_name, comments from user_tab_comments)
union all
(select 'CD_Subject_Area_' || table_name || '_' || column_name, comments from user_col_comments)
Use "Row-wise initialization" for this initialization block.
Two comments:
1) Like I said, I assume Subject Area is the name of your subject area in your presentation layer, so I guess you need to replace this with the name of your Subject Area.
But be sure that you replace each space ' ' with an underscore '_'.
2) Maybe you need to refine above querys by filtering on table_name for those table_names you are using.
Good luck.

Stijn

OBIEE presentation layer agregate values are not acurate

hi,
i have a simple BMM where for the given fact year wise i want to show summation of values and %.
here is the query generated by the OBIEE

from

SQA_CAS_FCT T5779

SAWITH1.c5 as c5,
SAWITH1.c6 as c6
from
SAWITH1
order by c1
the results are comming wrong when i am doing piviot in presentation layer but this query when i check if i remove the group by time_id then the results are correct
WITH
SAWITH0 AS (select sum(T5779.SLA_NOT_MET) as c1,

SAWITH1.c3 as c3,
SAWITH1.c4 as c4,

SAWITH1
order by c1
The above one is without time_id in group by.
can some one suggest as to what is wrong with the pivot for the above query.

why are u bringing TIME_ID column in the first Query... just remove it from the Criteria TAB.

Managing presentation layer formats

Hi, I'm just curious how people are managing presentation layer formats when using large, complex RPDs. For instance "Year" in our date dimension needs to be formatted to not display the comma, so it shows as "2012" not "2,012". However, this date dimension is used in TONS of presentation subject areas (we use EPM campus solutions), so I have to go in to each and every one to format the year. Is there a better way to do this?
Sure wish there was a way to specify this in the business layer of the RPD....
Thx,
Scott

Scott,
For instance "Year" in our date dimension needs to be formatted to not display the comma, so it shows as "2012" not "2,012"
1) Did someone changed default behavior if we normally pull year column in OOTB it wont give you ',' in results tab
2) how about duplicating same column in rpd and cast ( col as int) and use it in calculation and pull the calculated measure to presentation layer ?
thanks,
Saichand

Left outer join in presentation layer

Could I do left outer join in presentation layer? I have 2 reports. They both have a common column - "Month". The first report have columns - "Month" and "Measure1" and the second report have columns - "Month" and "Measure2". I would like to put them together so the final report would have "Month", "Measure1" and "Measure2".
Thanks,
Ted

Ted,
It is not clear to me, why you want to do an outer join. If the dimension Month is shared by both "Measure1" and "Measure2", then it will work without any problem (assuming the RPD is configured correctly).
An outer join comes into play if you need to preserve the dimension records. Let's assume you want to run an analysis like "Show me all months were there was no sales". In plain SQL you would to do a left-outer join between the Month dimension table and the sales fact table. If you want to know how this can be achieved in OBIEE you might want to have a look here [Outer join style report - OBIEE 10g|https://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=9805768#9805768]. This should be still valid for OBIEE 11g.
Best regards,

Presentation Layer Property

Hi experts,
In administratrion tool for obiee 10g, there are some property,such as export logical keys ,impilict fact column, in presentation layer. Can anybody tell me what it is and how to use it?
Thank you.

Refer to documentation, you can find the following on pg 300, E10540-02.
Exporting Logical Keys in the Subject Area
For each subject area in the Presentation layer, you can decide whether to export any logical keys as key columns to tools that access it. Exporting logical keys is irrelevant to users of Oracle BI Presentation Services, but it may be advantageous for some query and reporting tools. If you decide to export logical keys, make sure that the logical key columns exist in the table folders. In this situation, your business model should use logical key/foreign key joins. When you select the option Export logical keys in the Subject Area dialog, any columns in the Presentation layer that are key columns in the Business Model and Mapping layer are listed as key columns to any ODBC client. This is the default selection. In most situations, this option should be selected.
Setting an Implicit Fact Column in the Subject Area
For each subject area in the Presentation layer, you can set an implicit fact column. The implicit fact column is added to a query when it contains columns from two or more dimension tables and no measures. The column is not visible in the results. It is used to specify a default join path between dimension tables when there are several possible alternatives or contexts.

How do i drag and drop onto a smart object layer in Photoshop CS 5.5

I recently bought a 3d mock up Photoshop file as I want to mock up my designs such as business cards and other 3d items. The file notes said With a simple drag and drop on the smart object layer your design will be presented in a realistic and striking way.
Can you tell me how I do what they are telling me to do as I have played around with the file till the cows come home and can't work out how to do it. Do I need to do the old fashioned mock up way by skewing the image to fit or is there an easier way such as the drag and drop...?
Any help will be gratefully received,
Thanks

Hi here is the template PSD and then I want to put my business card design over and it says you can drag and drop as per my previous message ...

HTML5 canvas app: flash for presentation layer

Hi there,
I'm a html frontend developer, so I'm quite new to this flash environment.
For a project we're doing right now, however, we decided to go with flash for asset management and presentation layer development.
So we have an MVC javascript project "finished" already, that uses assets exported from a HTML canvas project in flash pro cc. Right now all functionality is coded inside the javascript project, and only assets, animations, etc are loaded from the exported fla. This seems to work fine. However, there is still a strong connection between the javascript views and the exported assets. Right now we're in the position where we need to reskin the whole application, and to allow external developers to design skins as well. This strong connection between assets and views is becoming a problem.
For example, at a certain point in our application we have to show a list options with a variable length. So we draw a container in flash that will contain the list, add a mask, create a scrollbar, etc. Then we have code in the javascript project that uses all these elements, adds displayobjects to the container, scroll the whole thing up and down, etc... That means that a skin designer, who only has access to the fla, is unable to make, for example, a theme where this list is shown horizontaly instead of vertically.
I was wondering how other people handle these scenarios?

you'd have to code and create the graphics for horizontal scrolling just like you did for vertical scrolling

Single presentation layer attribute from 2 LTSs

Hi,
I have a presentation layer attribute say, Country. The Country info is coming from 2 separate physical tables. So, in BMM layer I created a single table and added 2 LTSs pointing to 2 physical tables.
Can I have a single attribute in presentation layer which is coming from both the LTSs of BMM layer?
Thanks,
Anilesh

Hi,
You can go for fragmentation in RPD in BMM, which will create a union of both the sources.

Issue adding a new column to OBIEE presentation layer

Hi,
I am pretty new to OBIEE so this may be a silly question. I am facing some problems trying to add a new column from a physical table the OBIEE presentation layer.
Below are the steps I followed:
Task: add a product category set to the presentation layer.
Steps:
1) First verified that the product category set is being populated in the W_PROD_CAT_DH table in the datawarehouse. this was done by running the following sql
SELECT W_PROD_CAT_DH.TOP_LVL_PRODCAT_NAME
FROM W_PROD_CAT_DH, W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D
WHERE W_PROD_CAT_DH.integration_id = W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D.INV_PROD_CAT1
This sql gave the right category value.
2) created a "Alias" of the table W_PROD_CAT_DH in the OBIEE Admin tool physical layer. (done by right clicking W_PROD_CAT_DH >>New Object>> Alias)
3) named the Alias of W_PROD_CAT_DH as "Dim_W_INV_MKT_CAT" and created a key of the alias named "integration id" on the column "integration_id"
4) opened the pre-existing alias of W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D the alias was called "Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D" and added a key called "MKT_CAT" on the column "INV_PROD_CAT1" in this alias (Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D of the table W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D)
5) in the alias of the "W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D" called "Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D" added a "Foreign Keys" the expression of the key is following: ("Oracle Data Warehouse"."Catalog"."dbo"."Dim_W_INV_MKT_CAT"."INTEGRATION_ID" = "Oracle Data Warehouse"."Catalog"."dbo"."Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D"."INV_PROD_CAT1")
Logical layer
6) Opened the existing logical folder called "Dim - Inventory Product" and clicked on "Sources" tab then double clicked the source "Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D" and added a new mapping under "Map to these tables" under "General" tab. The column that was added was the physical alias "Dim_W_INV_MKT_CAT"
7) added a new column mapping to the same logical table source (Dim_W_Inventory_PRODUCT_D) this new mapping was a column from the alias "Dim_W_INV_MKT_CAT" (column name "TOP_LVL_PRODCAT_NAME")
Presentation Layer
8) dragged the newly added column (TOP_LVL_PRODCAT_NAME) from the logical layer "Dim - Inventory Product" to the presentation layer "Product" folder.
ISSUE
after adding everything and checking global consistency and save and checking-in my work when i login from the front end presentation services. I see the newly added column is showing under the "Product" folder. on dragging the column by itself to the Ad-Hoc analysis I can see the different values of the category. On adding a second column from the same logical folder (Dim - Inventory Product in logical layer) i still see the right product name and corresponding category. BUT when I drag any other column from any other folder (such as "Day" from "Time" or any fact values) the result does not fetch any data (message: The specified criteria didn't result in any data.)
I am not sure if I am missing any step but I know I am mapping the new table alias to the inventory_product_d since i see right results on creating analysis of columns in those two folders. but no other folders give me any data.
I also know that the logical folder "Dim - Inventory Product" is joined with other tables as I can see results when i do not add the newly added catagory column but other folder and other columns of "Dim - Inventory Product"
I would really appreciate any insight to this very much. we are using OBIEE 11.1.1.6 with the Oracle 11.5.10 Adaptor (SDE_ORA11510_Adopter)
I will try to upload some screenshots if needed but presently not sure if its something really simple.

Hi Prassu,
thanks for the responce. and Apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
