How do I update Physical Layer

How to I update the table in the physical layer in the OBI admin tool when:
1. the data in the underlying database table changes (meaning the records/rows are added or deleted in the database)
2. the fields in the underlying database table change (meaning columns are added or deleted)
3. the size of the field changes (meaning the type or length of the columns change)
4. only the table names/column names in the underlying database change.
In which of the above cases do I have to import again through the connection pool. If I have to import again do I have to create physical joins in the physical layer and complex joins in the BMM layer and mapping to the new table as LTS and any expressions in the column mappings again?
Thanks for your input.

How to I update the table in the physical layer in
the OBI admin tool when:1. the data in the underlying database table changes
(meaning the records/rows are added or deleted in the
database):
You don't need to take any action here unless you are concerned with query caching. In that case use 'event polling table'. Lookup documentation for event polling table.
2. the fields in the underlying database table change
(meaning columns are added or deleted)
You will need to manually add those in physical layer and propogate to business and presentation layer.
3. the size of the field changes (meaning the type or
length of the columns change)
Go to utilities - update physical layer and select the affected presentation layer.
4. only the table names/column names in the
underlying database change.
You will need to manually change those in physical layer. No need to and propogate to business and presentation layer ans its is automatically taken care of.

No need in any case to import manually.

Refreshing the Physical Layer ( New Columns)?

Hi,
I am new to OBIEE. (11.1.1.5)
I have a physical layer defined and now I have added some additional columns to these tables in the database.
Now, How to get these new columns reflected in the Physical layer.
I tried the Tools -> Utilities -> Update Physical Layer.
But it only checks for the data types of the existing columns already in the Physical layer.
Please help.

Use File->Import Metadata option
The tables and column which are in RPD are grayed out and which are not available are in black.

For this,I need to create a separate method to save the updated values of the fields in a new database table.
Looking forward for solutions.
Thank You!

becuase of the below statement u r getting the error

Migrating reports to new database schema

Hi,
My company has numerous Crystal Reports .RPT files that work against the existing database schema, but we are moving to a new database with a significantly different schema.
Rather than have to manually recreate new RPT files for all the reports, it would be nice if it would be possible to automate the process.
I have looked through the documentation for the various Java APIs and am completely confused as to whether this is possible and, if so, the best way to do it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Carl

Cannot view data on physical layer on Oracle BI administration tool

Hi everyone
I have a schema1 and table1, table2, table3.
I have connect in odbc using the schema username and password and it was successful.
I can view the data using toad and sql oracle developer with schema username and password.
I also import the tables in Oracle BI administration tool with my schema username and password.
But my problem is i cannot view the data on the table in physical layer using my schema username and password.
Please help,
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I'm confused about the last bit, you did a database import to get the tables into the RPD, which worked, but now they are not showing in the phsyical layer of the rpd? They should be there under a database with the name of the ODBC/OCI that you used when you imported them.
If they are not there then this would make me think that the import of the tables has not worked, try importing just one and see what happens.

A new database is available from iCloud

What does this message mean and should I update to the newest database? HJZ

I am experiencing a similiar problem. Nearly every time I open my Runmeter app on my iPhone I get the message "iCloud update. A new database is available from iCloud." I now have more than 20 different databases, each with my name followed by a serial number as Harry described.
Details:
App: Runmeter Elite version 10.3.6 (14824) by Abvio Inc.
Device: iPhone 5 model ME486LL/A
Operating System: iOS 8.1.2
Carrier: T-Mobile 18.1
Firmware: 7.03.00
Anyone have any suggestions?

Joining tables across databases in OBIEE Physical Layer

I was facing this problem of joining tables across databases in Physical layer of OBIEE admin tool.
I had a requirement to combine two tables from 2 different databases A and B respectively. I had created one database object (OBIEE Object) in the physical layer and I had created two connection pools under that pointing to the required databases. I was able to view the data (right click on the table object --> popup menu option "View Data" ) though I had to go through the "Select connection Pool" window and select the required connection pool. I was able to join the tables and was able to complete the star schema in BMM and bring them up to the presentation layer. Conistency check was also successful. Everything went fine so far.
But when I started building the report, I started getting error whenever I chose the table which was supposed to be queried by using the second connection pool. The error message was something like "table or view does not exist at OCI call OCIStmtExecute". I assume that this was happening because the systm was not able to understand which connection pool to choose (because there were two pools defined under one database object) and by default the server was choosing the first one. If anybody is having a different opinion or definite information about this, kindly update with your reply.
I could resolve this problem after creating a separate database object with a separate connection pool defined under it, which points to the second database. Imported the required table under this database object. (Infact it was reverse. When I re-imported the table, OBIEE Admin tool, by default created its own database object and the connection pool separately for the imported table).
Once this was done then I went ahead as usual by joining the tables across these two different database objects and modelling was already done (ofcourse with a little more tweaking since the mapping had to be redone between BMM and Physical layers). Now I could build the report in the reporting layer without encountering any error.
Appreciate and welcome any further additions/updations/corrections regarding this issue(?).

Can't see the update to the DB mapped in physical layer of the Admin tool

Hello everybody!
I have an Access DB that i'm using to create a temporary data model for OBIEE.
When i update rows (add or erase rows in the tables) i can see them in the physical layer; instead if i add o remove table i don't see any variation on the Physical layer.
I restarted the OBIserver services and checked the ODBC that point to the access. Everything's ok!
Should i remapped the DB everytime i make the a varition in the number of the table in the DATABASE?
Can you give some help please!
Regards.

1.If you drop or create new tables, you would not see them in the physical layer.
2. The RPD is just metadata and not database.
3.BI server has nothing to do with the physical layer modeling
4. yes you need to remap (in physical) the new tables you create and the ones you drop.

Probelm Addind new Table in Physical Layer, Create Dim in Business Model ..

I have completed a task for a dash board, that is running sucessfully.
Now I added a new table in "physical layer", (file->import->from database), table added successfully
Now, I droped this table in "business model", but when I want to create its dimension, there is no any option (when I right click on this table)
there are two cases
case 1:
I did not added modified fact table (with foreign key of new table) in "physical layer" and not in "business model and mapping"
case 2:
I added new table and modified "fact table (with foreign key of new table)" in "physical layer" and "business model and mapping"
but in both cases there is no "create dimension" button to create dimension
Please let me know the how to solve this problem, kindly define it in steps
thanks

Hi thr,
Create Dimensions is only available if the selected logical table is a dimension table (defined by 1:N logical joins) and no dimension has been associated with this table.
In you case, once you have imported the table successfully in physical layer, then join your table to fact table. Drag n drop in BMM under a new logical table and then join it to BMM Logical fact using complex join. Now, if you right click, you see the last option as 'Create Dimension'
Hope you find it useful..

Trouble adding new Essbase dimension to physical layer

I'm using OBIEE 10.1.3.4.2 and have created a repository where I imported an Essbase cube. That's all been fine. I recently added another layer to one of the dimensions in my cube - had Division and Market and then added System below Market. I opened the Admin tool and added the new layer/column to the physical layer. Dragged the cube to the BM&M and then the Presentation layers. When I go into Answers and begin drilling down once I select a Market the System column says organization instead of displaying valid System names.
I also created a new repository and imported the cube and everything drills down just fine. I then compared both repositories and they look identical.
Does anyone have a better approach to updating the physical layer when working with Essbase? I really don't want to create the whole thing from scratch as I am also including other sources.
Thanks,
Brad

Do we need to give new joins in physical layer

hi all,
due to some back ground problem ,we have deleted the existing table in back end and again we have created the table having different columns names with same table name
let say ,i have deleted table A and it is having columns (no int ,name varchar,...) in the back end... again i have created table A and different columns name(sno number,sname varchar)...
like this i have created .. and whatever the content is there in old table same data i copied in to new table.
so... here my question is do we need to again import that table into physical layer and again we need to give joins... or can we make use of existing table ....???
now i am running the reports with old table .. reports are not coming up... its giving an error....
is it mandatory to import the table again .. and again i have to do all joins..
i did few calculations using that dimension ...... so... any other alternative solution for this ... instead of doing joins.. ..
i have changed the column names in back end... that's it
here can we make use of catalog manager to change the column name in the reporting side....after changing the columns name in physical layer..
i don't knw the process of catalog manager.... please can any one send me the link to change the column names in the reporting side .....using catalog manager
Thanks

Hi,
If you have deleted table in database and you have created a new table with same columns and same structure then you should not face any problem. OBIEE will still have that table intact in physical layer.In your case since you have changed the names of columns in database it is creating problems for you because OBIEE query will use names mentioned in physical layer and those columns are no more in database. SO to resolve the issue go to physical layer and change the names of the columns .That should solve the problem.

Not able to update row count in Physical Layer..connection failed in OBIEE 11g

Hi Guys,
I am not able to do Update Row count in the Physical Layer, i am getting an error The Connection has failed. This is in OBIEE 11g Linux env.
I have put the tnsnames.ora file in the below path:
/*****/pkgs/linux/intel/OBIEE_DIT/MW_HOME/Oracle_BI1/network/admin/
I do not have admin under
/****/pkgs/linux/intel/OBIEE_DIT/MW_HOME/oracle_common/network/
But if i put the whole TNS entry in the Data Source Name i am able to connect:
(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL= TCP) (HOST= xxx.xxx.com) (PORT= 1671))(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = US1OBIEE)))
I am not able to understand the issue..
Thanks,
Amit

Looks like rpd is looking for local tns config... try to use as hostname:port/ServiceName
This should work, just in case not working! stop doing so since it is know issue.

New User Database schema and table name

When i create a new user in Oracle Webcenter Spaces 11g, I am not able to get the name of the database schema and table, where it is stored. Any insight on this will be very helpful.

WebCenter (and WebCenter spaces) uses an 'identity store' instead of database schema for storing user information - in an 'out of the box' installation, users are maintained through an embedded WebLogic LDAP store.
See the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebCenter, p. 34-2.
At the end of section 34.4.1:
WebCenter Spaces supports self-registration. When new WebCenter users
self-register, they create their own login and password and a new user account is
created in the identity store. See also, Section 34.4, "Allowing Self-Registration".
