URGENT: OBIEE Lineage Reporting

Experts,
I need to generate a report in Answers which will show me the following info:
Answer Request/Report Name, Answers Column Name, Answers Folder Name, DB Column Name, DB Table Name .
In Oracle Discoverer there is EUL Admiinstration Business Area, which can do some thing like this but know not sure if OBIEE has something like this. Any valuable info on this is much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Firstly, Im not sure why people think putting URGENT in the title , do we look at this thread before the others ?
Have you googled OBIEE Lineage reporting? Do you fully understand the Presentation Services and BI Servef components ?
What you need to do is run a Repository Documentation export from the Admin tool - This will give you Phyiscal layer through to Subject Area (Presentation Layer) Mapping.
Then run a catalogue manager export of the reports in your presentation catalogue, you can pull back all the attributes from a given answers request you have asked for, you can run a dashboard report from the catalogue manager also if you wish to look further.
Once you have the two outputs I suggest you load them into a database table so you can join them efficiently, model them into your RPD and you have your equiverlant to the Disco EUL Admin layer.
Hope this helps,
Rgrds

OBIEE 11g Report UI not showing data

Hi,
On Obiee 11g Report, the query hit by the report at the backend shows results for all the columns but on UI only few of these columns show the data. From Query log, when I run the same query in the database I see all columns have data which is somehow not showing up on the UI end. What could be the problem? Can this be resolved or is it a bug in the OBIEE 11g?
Regards
VM

Hi Vanaja M/Gurus,
Is that your problem resolved?
I'm facing same issue here.
I was checking for solution/suggestions in blogs, but unfortunately i couldn't find much information in blogs too....
Can you help me out to cross this hurdle, as this issue is in Production.

ToolTip in OBIEE 11G Reports when we hover on its data!!

Hello gurus,
I have a requirement where I have to display ToolTip in OBIEE 11G reports when one hovers on its data. For example, If I have a column in a report which displays "serial no." say the data in column is 1,2,3,4,5 etc. when I hover on 1, it should display name corresponding to it. when I hover on 2, it should display another name.
These values which will be displayed on hover action can be hardcoded, they are static values.
Thanks in advance !!

Hi User,
Try this , Goto Column Properties of a particular Column ->Data Format->Check mark "Override Default Data Format" and select
Treat Numbers As : Custom
In Custom Numeric Format, Copy paste this code: [html]<p title=\""Comments which you want to Mention" \">#
Please Mark helpful if it is correct.

MDX Generation Issues (using Evaluate) in OBIEE Analysis Report

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to use Evaluate function in MDX (on a OBIEE 11g Analysis report) to restrict the number of values that i am pulling from the Essbase cube. The MDX Evaluate syntax looks something like this
EVALUATE('TOPCOUNT(%1.members,100,([Dimension1],[Dimension2],[Dimension3],[Dimension4]))',"Accounts"."Gen10,Accounts")
EVALUATE('TOPCOUNT(%1.members,100,([Dimension1],[Dimension2],[Dimension3],[Dimension4]))',"Products"."Gen10,Products")
I am putting the above evaluate formula in the "selected columns" on the OBIEE Analysis report. So i am pulling accounts, products and the measure from the essbase cube.
However I am getting the following error when the analysis report is run
Query Status: Aggr Essbase Error: *Repeated dimension [Accounts] in MDX query*
Do we need any configuration changes/ settings on the RPD model to ensure we dont get this error?
Regards
Aby

Hi veeravalli,
Thank you for you reply. I got it.
However, any idea to solve the issue?
I tried to do it in RPD by case when,
e.g. Acutal Sales: case when scenario='Actual' then salesamount end
Budget Sales: case when scenario='Budget' then salesamount end
Actual/Budget%: (Actual Sales/Budget Sales) *100
So there is no error, Actual Sales and Budget Sales are correct, but Actual/Budget % shows nothing in report
Thanks.

Different calculation on each column in table in obiee 11g report??

Hi ,
I have to display values in a table for measures in obiee 11g report which should hold different calculation on each column. For ex:
Result 1:
Flag Display   Transaction Amount
C      'A'                 2              3
C      'B'                 3               0
       SubTotal1            5             3
Result 2:
Flag Display   Transaction Amount
H      'C'                 2              11
H      'D'                  0              0
       SubTotal2          2             11
Result 3:
Flag Display   Transaction Amount
H      'C'                 1              0
H      'D'                  1            0
       SubTotal3          2            0
Final Result:(Transaction shd hold :-subtotal1-subtal2 , Amount should hold:-subtotal1-subtal2+subtota3)
Flag   Display               Transaction         Amount
C    'total tran(1-2)              3                     8
       Total Amnt(1-2+3)'
Please help me how can i achieve this ... ??? I am new to OBIEE 11g.
Thanks,
Pavi

There are a few things I cannot understand; I'm assuming Transaction and Amount are fact columns. Then how do they have different values for the same values of Flag and Display ??
Anyway, sub total can be achieved by going to edit view for the table and from columns and measures area under the Layout pane click on the summation icon and select After. This will automatically display a grand total value at the bottom of each fact column.
Now, to get the final result, say Total Transaction you can add a dummy column and edit its formula.
     Total Transaction = trans_subtotal1 - trans_subtotal2 and
     Total Amount = amt_subtotal1 - amt_subtotal2 + amt_subtotal3
     Now if we could say that trans_subtotal1 is the total of transaction value when Flag = 'C' or something like that then you can get this value of subtotal1 by using the formula FILTER(SUM("Subject Area"."Folder".Transaction Column") USING (DESCRIPTOR_IDOF("Subject Area"."Folder"."Flag column") = 'C')). Similarly we can obtain subtotal2 and subtract them to get the total transaction value. But I am sure if we can do this because for the same values of Flag and Display, Transaction has different values. But by using the above formula, the values we obtain for subtotals 2 and 3 will be the same. So calculating Total Amount would be a problem.
The above formula is obtained by going to edit formula and selecting the filter option at the bottom of the edit dialog box.
Hope I made my point clear

Wednesday, September 9, 12 noon Eastern
OBIEE Analytics/Reporting Solutions for E-Business Suite
Audio Dial-In: 888 967 2253 Audio Meeting ID: 572994 Audio Meeting Passcode: 334451
Web Conference: https://conference.oracle.com/imtapp/app/cmn_jm_hub.uix?mID=150764532
BIWA Wednesday TechCast Series - Sixth Event!
This presentation will showcase different options for OBIEE-based Analytical Reporting such as:
1) Oracle BI Applications for supported Oracle E-Business Suite Modules and other Oracle Applications.
It will include real world experiences for implementing BI Apps Version 7.9.6
2) Custom OBIEE Development against E-Business Suite (when no BI apps are available)
3) Migration of Discoverer EUL to OBIEE RPD using Migration Utility
While OBIEE and BI Apps are clearly the strategic analytics reporting direction from Oracle, only certain Analytics applications are available. Sometimes all customer needs for BI reporting may not be met by these pre-built analytics. For instance, JD Edwards has pre-built ETL connectors only for Financial Analytics. While more BI Apps and ETL connectors are in the pipeline, how can users meet their reporting needs today as they go live in near future? In this session, we will look at several short and medium term solutions without deviating from the long term strategic goal of using pre-built BI applications to reduce the overall risk.
Several real life situations will be evaluated with demonstration of the steps involved such as how to Migrate Discoverer reports to OBIEE with the highest degree of automation. Likewise, we will cover how DBI views be used for custom OBIEE reporting.
Presenter: Shyam Varan Nath is an OBIEE Architect for IBM Global Business Services with extensive experience in implementing OBIEE and BI Apps. He has worked on several Oracle Data Warehousing Projects for customers including Citigroup, Air Force, Land O'Lakes, and Blue Cross Blue Shield Association. Shyam has been a Certified Oracle DBA since 1998 and has 18 years of industry experience.

Lineage Report in OWB 9.2 without Portal

Hello,
I would like if there is a way to use the Lineage Report without having Portal installed. I try by starting the OC4J Instance, but the browser display the error page page cannot be found.
Any tips ?
Thanks
Claude-Alain

This is the quick write up on this:
If you want to use the browser locally, you have to set up an HTTP listener on the database. The one that ships as part of the 9i Enterprise
Edition database that you use for the design environment can be used for this purpose. You also have to create a database access descriptor that points to the
<OWB92> schema. To do that, make sure the HTTP listener is up and running (on a Windows platform, this is a service). Use a browser to navigate to the HTTP
server index by using http://<machine and domain>:<port number> (example: http://mwiel-pc.us.oracle.com:7778). Click on Mod_plsql Configuration Menu.
Click on Gateway Database Access Descriptor Settings. Click Add Default (blank configuration). Enter a Database Access Descriptor Name (for example, use
<OWB92>), Schema (use <OWB92>), Oracle User Name (use <OWB92>), Oracle Password (use password for <OWB92>) and Oracle Connect String (beware
that the connect string uses SID in the <host name>:<port number>:<SID> connect string, not Service name). The remainder of the properties can be left as is.
Click OK and close the browser.
To invoke it using the OWB menu, make sure you have the OC4J engine running, and you are ready to go. From Warehouse Builder... set the preference under project,
preferences (menu). Beware that for the local installation this only works if everything runs on one machine (design repository, respository database and http listener).

BOMM - Lineage report not working for Views

Run the metadata integrators for SSIS package and BOBJ repository. Since views are used in the universe instead of the tables, lineage report is not pulling the SSIS package details. Any reason why its not?
P.S: Just replaced the tables with views thats it.
Appreciate any help!

Urgent-Freight charges report

Hi gurus,
My client have to handle lots of freight charges and they want report for each freight charge paid.
1.Freight charges divided into transporter,loader man and unloader man etc.
2.When material comes to godown transporter,unloading and loading charges to be paid.
3.When these material transfer from godown to other branches also these freight charges are paid.
4.When sales and dispatch done also its paid.
So,How would I get report of these freight charges for 1.Material receipt freight charge,2.Material freight charge for material transfer from branch to branch,3.Also for dispatch freight.
Means, every stock transfer there are freight charges.So how would I track & get report as there are daily lots of stock transfer .
its urgent
will award points for every appreciable help.....

Hi,
It is a pure Z- report development.
Usually client looks for how much freight he has paid for particluar activities.
say yoy have freight condition ZFRL- for local freight charges, ZFRI for import freight, ZUNL- for unloading charges.
these conditions will be hitting accounts associated with them.
when ever there will be GR, you can pick the data from material documents.
for giving you an idea, you can have the report like this with information on:
PO, material document,material number, qty, freight.
Your client must have told you that what information he want in reports.
Regards
Rajesh
