Unable to import table or columns in OBIEE 11G RPD

Hi All,
We are unable to import table into the RPD using OCI 10G/11G to import the table then the import box open but we are unable to see the tables below the schema name. When we use ODBC 3.5 and created a DSN for the database then we are able to see all the tables and import them. But the problem here is that when we are using window server 7 64 bit to install client and then importing the table ODBC is not working fine as well.
Please note that we are using OBIEE 11G which is installed on unix box and we connect to RPD using client installed on windows server.
Appreciate all the help in advance.
Thanks,
Mohit

Hi Sayak,
This means we need to installed Oracle client to resolve this problem. Can you please share if you have some knowledge regarding the same.
Thanks,
Mohit

Column customization OBIEE 11g RPD.

Can anyone help me with following scenario please?
I have a "Instance" table in the datawarehouse. It has 2 columns A and B.
I brought it all the way to the presentation layer making necessary joins to the Facts.
I created the column as prompt at the dashboard level. Now if the User selects A or B at the prompt level he will be pointed to Amount1 column in the BMM layer.
Now I will have to customize is such a way that,
If the user chooses both A and B options in the prompt the Amount2 has to be referred instead of Amount1 column.
I need help please!
Thanks,
Nikki.

DATAIMP-ERR-1124: Unable to import table "S_CS_ANSWR_LANG"

Hi all,
hopefully can someone here help me. I can not manage to make the Database Configuration successfully til now (already 2 months working on this, because I can't get help in any forum most of the time).
After creating tablespaces and running the grantusr.sql I run the Database Configuration Wizard. It stops on importing Siebel seed data (transl) and it gives me the following error in the log file data_prim_lang:

I guess that the command line I executed to drop some tablespaces (SIEBELINDEX and SIEBELDATA) dropped the links to these tablespaces and the table which causes the error. I used for that:
drop tablespace siebelindex including contents
and datafiles cascade constraints;
Can someone confirm me, if this can cause the error?. I am not an Oracle specialist.
I would really appreciate if somebody helps me. I am itrying to do this since months on Windows. Installed already the Oracle Client as well, Database connection works.
What should I do in this case if the Wizard doesn't run anymore because of this error?...I wouldn't like to install and reinstall what I already installed (Siebel Gateway, Siebel Enterprise, Siebel DB, etc. it's a lot of work and stress. Please help me :-(.

I suggest you the following:
1. recreate your tablespaces to make sure there is no previous data imported or tables created.
2. rerun grantusr.sql
3. make a backup of all master_*.ucf files under siebsrvr/bin folder
4. delete all master_*.ucf files under siebsrvr/bin folder
5. make a backup of the siebsrvr/log/install folder.
6. remove the siebsrvr/log/install folder.
7. launch the db config wizard and check if it works now.
I suspect there is some old parameter being used from your previous tablespaces.
If above is not helpful, provide the contents of the log file generated when process failed and upgwiz.log.
Hope it helps,
Wilson

Peoplesoft Trees as Hierarchial Columns in OBIEE 11g

Sorry for a duplicate posting. Logged in as a normal user with random number. I know how much people hate it. Logged in as myself now.
Hi,
I have extensively searched using Google or 11g docs but could not find a proper solution to using Peoplesoft trees in form of hierarchial columns in obiee 11g. Can the rpd of obiee 11g be designed to view the Peoplesoft tree structure( as it is in Tree manager in Pplsoft) as hierachial columns in obiee 11g? I am sure hierarchial columns as a 11g feature are not just for visual representation in tree format but also can be viewed in Answers and queried against it,am I right?
Anybody who has worked on trees and OBIEE 11g hierarchial columns? Ahsan/Navin??
Thanks,
Dan

I have not used the 11g hierarchical columns for PSoft Trees but I can think of a glaring reason NOT to do this..PERFORMANCE. If I understand correctly, 11g issues a group by and Union as you traverse this type of structure and PeopleSoft trees have a number of tables to represent the actual TREE. I cannot possibly see how this can be effective especially with a large scale BI Apps DW? This is part of the reason the trees get flattened out via the OOTB ETL adaptors for PSoft.

Stop a dimensional drill for a particular value of a column in obiee 11g

Hi,
I have dimensional drill been setup for Supervisor Hierarchy Table.I need to stop the dimensional drill for a particular value of the column in obiee 11g.
Example: I have two columns
1.Supervisor Level 1 Name
2.Supervisor Level 2 Name
Supervisor Level 1 Name Columns have these values.(Ram,Higher,Sam)
Supervisor Level 2 Name Columns have these values.(Ravi,Higher,Raghul).
If we pull Supervisor Level 1 Name Column in report which has a dimensional drill(It will navigate to Supervisor Level 2 Name).It will show
1.Ram
2.Higher
3.Sam
I should not drill on Higher value but the rest of the values(Sam and Ram will drill to Supervisor Level 2 Name) should be drillable.The same should happen for Supervisor Level 2 Name.
Please Suggest.
Thanks,
Azim

Azim,
Don't think you can actually get this working

Removing drag functionality of column in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
Can any one say me how to remove the draging functionality for the columns in OBIEE 11g ? It is creating an issue for me when i hide the columns in pivot and has only rows over there. It is creating one more layer on the top of the measures.
Thanks for your help.

Fightclub,
Edit the Pivot view and goto Row section -> Row Properties -> Option - Uncheck the Display Heading.
But you'll loose your columns heading of rows.

Thanks,
Satya Ranki Reddy

looks like there is a way to recover the lost passwords for RPD's using listcred() method of wlst
look at the following doc http://www.rittmanmead.com/2011/04/oracle-bi-ee-11g-migrating-security-credential-store-part-3/
Listing the Credential in Dev Environment:
All the Credential Keys are generally stored in an encrypted format (the passwords). So, to migrate we will need to first extract these passwords and then do the migration to Production. The passwords can be extracted through the listCred() method of WLST. We need to be connected to the Admin Server for this method to work. The exact command is given below
connect(“weblogic”,”welcome1″,”localhost:7001″)
listCred(“DevMap”,”DevKey”)
This will show the encrypted password entered inside the key as shown below
And this is what we see in the enterprise manager.
As you see, with listCred we are able to extract the full credentials. Now, lets try to see what is the default password for the BISystemUser.
listCred(“oracle.bi.system”,”system.user”)
In the same way lets extract the passwords of the SampleAppLite repository.
listCred(“oracle.bi.enterprise”,”repository.SampleAppLite”)
With this we can even extract the lost Repository passwords."
i am going to try it out now

OBIA / OBIEE Unable to Import Tables to DAC

hi all,
When I am trying to import tables or synonyms from the DAC console , it brings up only views like the _DFV which are views.
It does not import any tables or synonyms.
I am able to connect to the database thru sql developer /toad and can check that the tables exist in DB.
The process I follow is DAC -> Design -> Tables -> Click any of the table line and 'right Click' -> Choose 'Import from Database' -> Choose 'Import Database Tables' -> Choose the EBS data source and just enter a % on the table name filter -> click on 'Read Tables'
it brings up the _DFVs / views but doesnt show up any tables or synonyms.
Plz help if anyone has resolved this issue.
Thanks
User

Hi,
If you are using DAC for OBIA ,then create olap table structure using dac console,why you trying to import EBS tables directly?

How to Hide a column in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I am trying to hide a column of presantation layer table in OBIEE 11g. But it is not working.
I am doing the follwoing.
Open the permission tab of the column.
Given no access to Everyone.
Given No access the user/Application Role.
When i go to web, the column is getting displayed in the table list. But, when i select the column and press the result button, it is not giving the result.
It means, by doing the above steps it is restricting the data but visibility of column is already there.
Same way it works for OBIEE 10g. Could you please let me know this feature has been removed from 11g or if it is still there then how we can achieved that.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Niraj,
It's a bug in OBIEE 11.1.1.5.

Using CASE WHEN for Essbase column in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I have a business model in OBIEE 11g, taking the source from Essbase 11. The measures of the Essbase cube in the physical layer is flattened, and the aggregations for the measures are set to SUM.
The Product dimension has 5 generations. In Product logical table, I created a logical column called "Product Grouping" using a simple CASE WHEN formula:
CASE
WHEN "TEST"."Product"."Gen5,Product" IN ('100-10', '100-20', '200-10', '300-10') THEN 'Group 1'
WHEN "TEST"."Product"."Gen5,Product" IN ('100-30', '200-20') THEN 'Group 2'
ELSE 'Group 3'
END
Problems:
1. If I don't place this "Product Grouping" in the logical level/hierarchy, I got error in the report when I simply show Product Grouping and a measure.
2. If I place this "Product Grouping" in the logical level/hierarchy (on the 5th level), no more error in the report when I simply show "Product Grouping" and a measure. The measure value also shows the correct SUM (group by). However, when I add "Gen1,Product" the "Product Grouping" and the measure value suddenly becomes not grouped by.
Has anyone ever tried and encountered something like this? Any thoughts?
Thank you very much!

Hi Deepak, thansk for the suggestion.
However, I can't use calculated item for this report because:
1. incorrect result will be shown when my measures involve a formula to derive a percentage value.
2. calculated item is not available if we do "combine requests" (or union) in 11g.
Any thoughts anyone on how to solve this? Is this just me, or it's a bug?
Thank you very much.
