Unexpected behavior between 2 RPDs (column Content Levels seem to be the bu

Good morning,
I'm going to give it a shot with Orace Support, but decided to give it a shot here first.
There're 2 identical RPDs in 2 different environments (OBIEE 10.1.3.4 , Oracle 11g, Linux OS SUSE 5) . Config files are the same. DB settings are the same. There's a difference in security implementation only.
Problem is that the same query below generates quite different results in both instances.
Month-Year, Measure,max(Date)
CORRECT:
select T108194.SHORT_MONTH_YEAR as c1,
sum(T7522.CASH_BALANCE) as c2,
max(T108194.DT_ID) as c3,
from
TIME_DIM T108194 ,
FACT T7522
where ( T7522.DATE_KEY = T108194.DATE_KEY)
group by T108194.SHORT_MONTH_YEAR
order by c4
INCORRECT - generates full outer join query (or 2 queries if I disable FULL OUTER JOIN) : - it brings correct results as well as full data set with empty months and dates.
Logical SQL is IDENTICAL.
I was able to find the reason - whenever a content level for that fact column is removed - then the query generated changes to CORRECT.
What could possible be an issue? Thank you

Since this is your first post, let me clue you in. This forum is meant for asking very short and specific questions. For example, if you've asked, how could you improve a particular one SELECT statement, I'm sure many people would have helped you.
But you cannot seriously expect someone on this forum to spend his/her time and review such a long program. For this people are normally getting paid, you know.

Content level settings in fact LTS

Hi all,
i just want to get very clear picture upon content level settings of LTS, when we create a dimensional hierarchy say time hierarchy (Year, Quarter, Month, Day), when we want a measure to sum up to month level we go to that particular measure column in fact and set its content level to month, now i want to know the significance of content level in LTS of the fact table, suppose if i set content level of whole fact table to "month" does all the measures in the fact sum to month level or how it is going to impact the result. In what scenario do we use the content setting in fact LTS?
Many Thanks,
Sreekanth

Hi,
@Kishore
thank you for quick reply, to get more clarity now lets assume we have one fact table with daily granular data and one aggregate table with month granular data, so when i drag and drop aggregated measures to BMM it creates another LTS for aggregate table, in that aggregate table we would set the content level as "MONTH" so whenever a report is constructed based on month columns and measures, BI Server picks aggregate table since it has LTS at month level. Is my understanding correct?
Now, i have a connecting question.. we have monthly aggregate table which has 2 columns:
1. MONTH_CODE (1999-01,1999-02,...)
2. SALES_AMT
now if i join TIME_DIM.MONTH_CODE = AGGREGATE_TABLE.MONTH_CODE
time dimension (TIME_DIM ) has records with day granularity so there will be 31 "1999-01" in TIME_DIM, this will result in summing up same measure value 31 times, so this will result in high numbers, so in this case what would be the ideal join condition to be used between aggregate table and time dimension, or what is the ideal join column to be used in aggregate table for joining to time dimension at day level.
Much appreciated...

Cost in simulation not consistent between accounting column and cost assign

When doing simulation on a trip report that has cash advanced used included I get a inconsistency between
accounting column and trip cost statement in the simulation window.
In the accouting column in simulation, the cash advance used is included as a part a total cost but when I look at trip cost statement that value is not included as an expense to be transferred.
This seems a bit strange to me.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Following could have a reason.
On travel request you may had checked on Cash Office column while requesting advance...
How to resolve it..
You cannot change advance so you have to do following thing.
1) Enter the same amount in negative along WITH checked on Cash Office column ..
2) Enter New amount WITHOUT check on cash office.
then run again simulation..
I hope it would serve your purpose...

How to change "Display column content" on a uploaded file link?

Hi,
I based my portal form on a table with a field of type BLOB. I used this to upload any type of file. I have no problem in uploading my file, when I query the information, a link comes up with the words "Display column content". I can click on that link to see the content of my file. But is there a way to change the wording "Display column content"?
null

Yoy can change the link by editing the generated package

Panel Grid Layout: Column Span unexpected behavior.

Whenever in a Panel Grid Layout, when i give a cell to span over multiple columns(2,3,4 or any), the cell is spanned over the entire row only.. Why does this behavior happens? In JDeveloper, the spanning is shown correctly in design tab and preview tab.

Hi Amanda,
I believe I have discovered the cause of the issue you are facing.
The problem is with the "Alert Region" region template and that it does not have any display points specified so indicate the number of grids that can fit in its region body. Without having any display points, the grid layout system attempts to use all columns available to its container. However, because the Alert Region has additional padding within, the columns will not fit and wrap to the next line.
To fix this issue, you will have to modify the "Alert Region" region template, go to "Display Points" and click Add Row. You will need to enter the following fields:
Name: Region Body
Template Substitution: BODY
Grid Support: Checked
Maximum Fixed Grid Columns: -1
This will fix the issue for you. I've logged a bug within our bug system to track this so we can fix it in a future release of APEX.
Best,
Shakeeb

Content Levels disappear after deploying to BI Server

Hi experts,
I've noticed that some content levels (for LTS) disappear in RPD after deploying to local BI server. Then we need to re-create them before deploying back to DEV.
Has anyone experienced the issue?
Second: how bad are logical warnings about incorrectly defined LTS? (no mapping between some table) They seem to work fine without it. Thanks

Hi Frank,
Finally I am able to view pages using LDAP authentication. I had to add the user name explicitly in orion-web.xml file.
Now my question is if I want to let everyone access the application once they authenticate themselves through LDAP( login module). What should I do . If I make impliesAll="true" in either orion-web.xml or orion-application.xml file it allows everyone, doesn't go through the login step.
Any Help would be appreciated...

Error in content level mapping

Hi Gurus,
I designed star schema in that when as a standard practice (for making report performance faster) . I searched threads in forum and everything as defined i have done still I am getting errors.
1) I am setting content level agg. of fact for their based dimension then I am getting error in consistency check as
'[39008] Logical dimension table Dim_xyz has a source Dim_xyz that does not join to any fact source.'
, what i should do more for this ?
2) If i define content level mapping in dimensions for its same column like date for time dimension then i get error message as
'[nQSError: 14031] The content filter of a source for logical table: Dim_xyz references multiple dimensions.'
3) Also as we know fact table contains only measures and foreign keys of dimensions so why do i get error in consistency check as '[89001] The Physical Table '"Fact_xyz"' has no keys defined.'
I am fed of these stupid errors as why does not obi server understand that this is fact table. When I saw prebuilt rpd i did not find these types of error there.
Thanks for your instant reply,
Amol

What is difference between adjusting columns these two ways?

Hi everyone,
In my last post I learned that I could create a new Master Page that is designed as a 1-column format and apply it to the body pages I want to have as 1-column. (I have a doc that has 2-column formatted L and R master pages; only 1 page at the very end, the Study Guide, needs to be 1-column formatted).
I recently learned from the Adobe lesson book that if I am in the body page that I want to change from a 2-col to a 1-column format, I can go Graphics>Object Properties and this brings up the Customize Text Frame window where I can change the number of columns to 1 and click set. I found this a lot easier than creating a new Master Page.
What is the difference between applying a one-column design to one page using each of these methods, applying a 1-column master page versus just changing the number of columns as described above? Is one wrong or better than the other?
Thank you for your help!!

There are 3 basic* ways of obtaining a custom layout for specific pages:
hack the local column layout
apply a new master Page as a local override:
Format > Page Layout > Master Page Usage > Use Master Page
map the new MP in semi-automatically:
Format > Page Layout > Apply Master Pages (AMP)
1 & 2 are not stable. Unless it's a disconnected flow, adding or deleting text prior to that page can cause your special-needs text to re-flow onto a page with normal Left/Right layout (and unexpected text flowing onto your special layout).
1 is also at risk from an update to the Left/Right MPs themselves.
3 requires that some paragraph on the special-needs page have a unique format name (say, "Heading2_Single"). After you perform your first AMP, an UnstructMasterPageMaps table is created on Reference Page MasterPageMaps. Add the special para name, and the special MP name to it. Thereafter, AMP will make sure that text gets the page it needs.
You can also perform an AMP during Update Book.
It is not reliable in FM 7.x. I don't know about later versions.
I always use technique #3, and perform a separate AMP as part of the pre-print workflow.
* You can also fake the layout in some cases, on the normal page layout, by putting the special needs flow in a table or text frame within an anchored Frame. Anchor to an Across-All-Columns format as needed. It wouldn't be Framemaker if there weren't at least 5 ways of getting the same result .

Lines Between Report Columns in Purchase Order Report

Hello All,
I am working with the Oracle Purchasing Report called POXPRPOP.rdf. I am trying to add a black frame between each column in the report. Imagine in a purchase order where several columns of data that have a black line in between them. I have tried working with the expanding frame around the data fields of the report, changing the line color of these expanding frames to black. This didn’t work to give me lines in between the columns. I have been able to bring other graphical elements into the report so it is not a graphics problem at the UNIX environment.
I am using Reports 6i and Running the report through Oracle Applications Concurrent manager.
Thanks for any help,
Bradley

It seems like I might be able to put a line between the data fields and set it to expand with the repeating frame. Maybe this is this how it is done.

Topic and content level conditional build tags

What is the difference between a topic level and a content
level conditional build tag? Why would you select one over the
other? How do you select one over the other.

First let me point out that the same conditional build tag
can be applied at either the topic level or the content level. It
sounds like you may be thinking that you have to create a tag as
for either the content or topic level.
Apply a tag at the topic level when you want the entire topic
excluded from a certain output. Do this by right-clicking on a
topic in your Project Manager, going to Apply Conditional Build
Tag, and selecting the tag.
Apply a tag at the content level (text, images) when you want
the topic to be included but want specific content to be excluded
from a certain output. Apply a tag at this level by selecting the
text and/or images that you want to apply the tag to,
right-clicking, going to Apply Conditional Build Tag, and picking
the tag.
Note that you wouldn't use a tag at the topic level on a
topic where you have used that same tag at the content level, and
vice versa.
Generally, the idea of build tags is to set an output to
exclude certain tags, but you can also set outputs to include tags
instead, which then excludes all other tags.

Space between footer and content

Hello,
I have made a website, but at the bottom of the page there is a space between my content and my footer.
I know more people have this problem and I saw multiple posts about this, but I have not found a solution yet.
My website is devided in multiple 'parts'.
The first part is a big image that is fixed and pinned to the top.
The others parts are rectangles with a background color and content that will go over the first part.
As I said before, at the end of my page, the footer will stick to the bottom like it should, but there is a gap between the footer and the last 'part'.
In the gap you can see a part of the big image where the website starts with (because it is pinned and will stay behind the other layers) and the browser fill (white).
If I uncheck the sticky footer, the footer will go up and stick to the content, but the gap moves to the bottom, so you see the browser fill below my footer.
You can view my website at emilelampe2.net16.net
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks,
Emile

I have changed the header and top page position, now it's the following:
the header guide is at the top of everyting (like a top browser guide), my top page comes after the big image on the border between the big image and the first rectangle, my footer and bottom page guides are on the same place, at the end of the last rectangle on the border between the footer and the last rectangle and my bottom browser guide is at the very bottom of everyting.
What now occurs is that when i scroll down, when the last rectangle is just out of side (so it's 'above' the browser screen) my footer is totally out of side, which makes you see the big images (it was pinned to the top) with the browser fill.
When you scroll down more the footer appears.
My footer part (also a rectangle, but same effect if I delete the rectangle) and footer text are boother checked as 'Footer'.
The arrows are pointing at the two things that are off the screen.
EDIT:
When I unchecked 'Footer' with the foother rectangle and footer text, the rectangle sticked to the last context rectangle and went also up with the last rectangle. The page stopped scrolling when all the rectangles (including the not-footer-anymore footer) disappeared from the screen.
A page like the image above was left, except the footer was above the screen in stead of under it. So it seems like my website stops scrolling when all the 'context' is out of the screen?!

DNS SRV Proxy Lookup and Failover Mechanism / Unexpected Behavior

Group,
I came across some unexpected behavior yesterday I was wondering if someone could help shed some light on the problem. In my DNS I created this record: _sip._upd.platautofinance.com which when I do a query using MX Toolbox it is correctly reporting the following:
On the SPA504 I have programmed the SRV records into the system using the following:
So here is the issue, the phones will register correctly to the primary server but after a length of time ALL the phones will abandon ship and jump to the secondary server and stay there. I have to manually shut the secondary down, reboot the endpoints at which point they will re-register with the primary. So I think I need to understand the mechanism a bit better. Here is what I can think of:
The phones are not using the primary DNS service record providers DNS servers, we are using OpenDNS instead of Network Solutions <-- Unlikely because the SPA would not be able to resolve the SIP SRV records / servers at all with a broken DNS resolution. I can tell by dropping from the primary to the secondary that resolution is taking place on the phone because they are jumping between the right ones.
My understanding is the proxy fallback interval should have the phone register (and they should be checking periodically if the primary is available again and if so, re-register the to the lowest-weighted server) but that's not happening without a manual reboot. Once on the secondary they want to stay there.
My firewall for both the primary and secondary servers do not answer ICMP.
So the question is: why do the SPA phones think the primary is offline? What is the mechanism or criteria the SPA uses to determine a server is offline and then rolling to the secondary? Why do they want to stick around the secondary which is using only a best effort connection when we have a bonded T on the primary?
Thanks as always for your help and input group! Appreciate your time.

Hello Adam,
I believe it will be easier if you call SBSC and ask the questions directly. The questions are very good and exact. I will try to answer shortly. Assuming you use only CCA to configure the system.
1. If you have set dns for your internet connection it should work, you may try with different dns servers. Please delete the SIP trunk and recreate it.
2. Please delete the SIP trunk and recreate it.
3. If you need to configure more codecs through CCA you may send feature request using envelope button of the CCA.
I hope the above answers will be helpful although very short. If they are not helpful please contact SBSC and open a case.
Best regards,
Alex

Unexpected behavior with dashboard prompts set to "scope = page". Help

Hello,
I've got three dashboard pages that have a prompt with start/end dates set using ST_DT and END_DT presentation variables. Each of those pages has a report with a column that drills to the same 4th page, a detail report. Each page has it's dashboard prompt scope set to "Page."
I can switch freely between the first three tabs and enter different dates, run the reports, and the prompt dates aren't overwriting each other between tabs. However, if i drill to the detail page from any of those reports and then switch back, the start/end dates prompts are suddenly being overwritten.
Now i know we can prevent this at the report level by using "protect filter," but how does one protect a prompt? To further explain, all three summary pages use the same presentation variables, ST_DT and END_DT. However these presentation variables are not used on the detail page, so i'm not sure why drilling there suddenly breaks the prompt scope and sets it to behave like "Dashboard."

Update,
I was using ST_DT and END_DT as the presentation variables for each tab. I tried giving them unique names on each tab and they're still getting set if I drill to the detail tab. Since prompts are set to scope I'd expect them to not be set by the detail tab.

Diff. between Formula column and Placeholder column

Can any one explain me the difference between a formula column and place holder column in Reports.

Place holder columns are used to hold a value and they are populated by formula columns and in the following places.
- the Before Report Trigger, if the placeholder is a report-level column
- a report-level formula column, if the placeholder is a report-level column
- a formula in the placeholder's group or a group below it
(the value is set once for each record of the group)
But Formula columns perform a user defined computation on one or more columns including placeholder columns. You can set the value of placeholder column in a formula column. But you cannot set the value of a formula coulmn in a placeholder column's PL/SQL.

Unexpected Behavior error while creating a connection in IDT

Hi Everyone,
I have created a connection on top of a database using ODBC.
I could able to see the connection in IDT.
I have mentioned the user name and pw correctly and tried testing the connection and got the error "unexpected behavior"
PFA error.
what could be the reason? any idea?
Thanks.

I find this 32-bit vs. 64-bit ODBC somewhat confusing. I know you aren't dealing with Crystal Reports, but this blog post does provide some clarity. It has a link to this Microsoft knowledge base article from which I quote...
A 64-bit version of the Microsoft Windows operating system includes the following versions of the
Microsoft Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) Data Source Administrator tool (Odbcad32.exe):
The 32-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is located in the %systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64 folder.
The 64-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is located in the %systemdrive%\Windows\System32 folder.
One other warning. In my experience I have found that you cannot run both the 32-bit and 64-bit ODBC admin tools at the same time. If you have one running and try and start the other one it will just bring up the one you already had running.
To make sure I know which instance I am in at any give time I have created a dummy data source that corresponds to the instance; 32-bit or 64-bit.
Let us know how it goes.
