USE OF VIEWS IN OBIEE REPOSITORY

Hi Gurus,
What is the use of creating views in obiee physical layer.is it mandatory?
Could any one pls explain me.
THANKS,
SIVA

No its not mandatory, its for quick fixes where you cant ETL your data into the structures you require, failing that you cant create a view in the underlying database because you dont have permissions, or its such a simple query you think it doesnt warrant creating.
Bear in mind :
All rows have to be returned from the view, the database has more work to do,
debugging your Physical SQL gets messy and quickly un-readable.
It really is for quick fixes but in the long term I'd always try and avoid them.

How to create repository using a view in OBIEE

Hi,
Can any one explain the procedure how to create a repository using a view. For example
test_v
select a.col1,a.col2,b.col1,b.col4,c.col5,c.col6 from table a,table b, table c where a.col1= b.col1 and b.col1 = c.col1
1. Assuming that i have imported only one view.
Thanks and Regards,
Hanuman.

Hi,
You can create the vie in the physical layer of your repository, select "Select" from the dropdwan box when you create a new table. Next add the columns. They must have the same names as in your view.
If you don't have any other tables in your repository, created an alias of your view and make a "dummy" join with the original view. Next create your BM and PL.

Error while using Noetix Generator for OBIEE 11.1.1.6.8

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to implement Noetix views for OBIEE 11.1.1.6.8 using Noetix generator for oracle business intelligence,, but we are facing below error..
Please help, thanks in advance.
" *Validation encountered following warnings..*
*Could not verify server version. Double check that your server version matches the target specified.*
*Cause: access denied for user to path /system/version*. "

Hi,
I'm the Director of Engineering at Noetix that is responsible for Noetix Generator for OBIEE.
Noetix Generator utilizes OBI's web services in order to validate that your OBI admin client and server have matching versions. The validation error you're seeing appears to be caused by a permission issue while accessing the "/system/version" folder of your web catalog through that web service.
One thing you could check is the OBI account you're using in Noetix Generator to access the BI Server. That account should have administrative privileges in OBI.
I also noticed that you're attempting to use OBI 11.1.1.6.8, which we don't currently support. Your existing version of Noetix Generator may work with it, but we won't claim official support until we certify our generator against it. That will come in a future release.
Please contact Noetix Support at http://support.noetix.com if you need additional information. Our support staff can assist you in resolving this issue.
Thanks,

Cant drag and drop from file-roller to nautilus when using List View

Hi, im using file-roller and i can only use drag and drop feature from file-roller when i use Icon View. If i select List View i cant drag and drop.
Is that an expected behavior or its a bug? Is there a patch or work around? (File Roller 2.20.1 and Gnome 2.20.2)
I think its a problem with file-roller cause in my other box, running ubuntu 7.10 i have the same problem, but i can drag and drop from ark even when using List View.
Thx!

Well, sorry for the double post, but after a little research i found this is a bug, actually a not yet implemented feature. There is a patch and probably its going to be merged in next version.
Ill try to apply the patch myself, if it works could the maintainer Jan de Groot put it on the repository?
Here is the bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171655

Customize Filter View in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
Is there any way to customize the filter view? My requirement is not to show formulas that are used in Analysis in the “Filter view”. All analysis that we create should go with Filter Views at the bottom and Users should not see the formulas.
Example:
Column Formula:
FILTER (sales.sales USING products.product =’Electronics’)
If I filter the above column, it shows something like this:
FILTER (sales.sales USING products.product =’Electronics’) is Prompted.
What is need to show in the filters is the Title of the column i.e. Electronics Sales.
Thanks in advance.

Different view in OBIEE answers

Hi,
I am new to OBIEE.Plz help.
In answers i go to criteria and select few columns For Ex:Department,Region and sales and then click on results tab to see the result.
now similarly i create pivot view and give the compound layout to see both views.
Now in the same compound layout i want another table alongside my previous table and pivot view.
but i want different columns for that table.For ex: i want Department,City and Cost columns in my table and i want all the three to be shown in the same compound layout.
Is that possible?
I have been trying to do that but whenever i change the columns in criteria for one table,the previous table columns alo get changed.
Can someone plz help me out with this?

Hi what i said is
create a table view with columns for both the reports.
in your compound layout duplicate the table view and create the second table view.
now in your first table hide the second table columns and in your second table hide the first table columns.
(you can also use pivot view as second table).
but the results will not be exact. you need to do lots of manipulations to achieve the expected results. And it also depends on your requirements. if your requirement is complex then forget this and go for the dashboard page with individual request from two reports.

Creating a view and use the view in a model

Hi All,
I am new to OBIEE and i have a requirement that i have two fields to be added to a subject area. Since we can't add queries directly to a model, i have to create a view and then put the query in it and then use the view in that model.
I couldn't understand this much, if anybody could help me explaining in detail about the views and adding a query in it?
Thanks
Gohan

Hi,
Please refer the screen short below link
http://imgur.com/b9sXS
Right click any of one physial table(RPD physical layer) -> Select Properties -> from the properties windows choose 'Select' as Table type ->
Please enable feature 'CREATE_VIEW_SUPPORTED' view just go to 'Features' tab and from the available option select 'CREATE_VIEW_SUPPORTED' is checked or not. If it is not checked then check the option.
can you explain your current model and scenario?
for example to you can use to fetch two fields from Subqueries,all trypes of joins(inner,left outer,right outer etc..,) its upto you case
e.x:fetching two tables columns mapping subquery:
SELECT column1, column2 FROM table1 WHERE column1 IN (SELECT column1 FROM table1
INTERSECT SELECT column1 FROM table2 )
SELECT column1, column2 FROM table1,table2 WHERE table1.column1 = table2.column1
Alternative there is feature call "mulitple subject area" method will work (Union,Union all etc..,)
Thanks

OBIEE Repository and webcatalog deployment with WLST

Hi,
Being novice in weblogic with integration of OBIEE 11G, i heard we have WLST (Weblogic Scripting Tool), is it something like UNIX scripting?, My references told me that we can do many administration tasks that are done in GUI consoles with help of WLST using OEPE (Oracle Enterpise Pack for Eclipse). Now my question is can we deploy OBIEE Repository, OBIEE catalog and start/restart/stop BI services using WLST?
Thanks,
Sreekanth

Hi Sreekanth
Have a look into the Oracle BI Systems Management API;

Data Security in OBIEE Repository

I applied Data Security in OBIEE Repository,created testuser and assigned to Test group.Applied security in the Test group for specific column using Logical Fact.When i login using the testuser i am not able to see the applied data filter in the Test Group.Am i missing anything.
Thanks in Advance

I tried but still i don't see the security filter.Do i need to configure my NQSconfigfile.ini.Security filter status in Repository is Enable.We implemented fragmentation in logical fact,anyway that shouldn't matter as per my guess.

How to connect Linux OBIEE repository to database?

I installed Oracle BIEE.
Then I uploaded the repository from my Windows BIEE.
Then uploaded my catalog (web/catalog/)
Now I must connect my repository to oracle db. How can I do this?
In Windows I did ODBC connections to my databases. How to connect to databases on Linux?
Best regards, Teodor

OK let's start again with all you need to do as you don't clarify if you have done it or not:
1) Make sure you got a FULL Oracle 10g client installed (check with your DBA). Oracle INSTANT CLIENT is NOT SUPPORTED.
2) Make sure the OBIEE user that you use to run the OBIEE services has read and execute permissions on all files under ORACLE_HOME for the Oracle client that you wish to use. Even better if you install the Oracle client with the same user as the OBIEE uses to run it's services.
3) Make sure your Oracle 10g client has the OCI 32bits libraries installed (check in the ORACLE_HOME/lib32 directory that the libclntsh.so.10.1 library exists and it's size is bigger than 0 bytes). OBIEE uses the 32bits libraries.
4) Configure your OBIEE /OracleBI/setup/user.sh file to make sure your ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN variables are correctly set to the correct values. You also need to set these two:
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib32:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
5) Export all the above 4 variables in your current session and test that you can resolve your database name(s) by doing "tnsping DB_NAME".
6) Restart all your OBIEE services and check that all variables are correctly set (type "env").
After you have done all that give it a test and let us know if it works.

Can we have Cognos front end connect to OBIEE repository

How Can we have OBIEE repository be taken as Input in Cognos Framework?
Any suggestions?

Hi,
If your using Cognos version like MDX/XMLA then it should be possible. (on older cognos version you migth have to "reroute" trought an SSAS service.
http://www.biblogs.com/2007/11/26/essbase-integration-with-obiee-101331/
OBIEE with Essbase as datasource-what I need to know
Just fyi...
You can't connect directly to the Cognos cube, you have to go trough the Cognos Reporting server:
OBIEE -> Cognos Reporting Server - > Cognos Cube
or
OBIEE -> MS - SSAS server - > Cognos Reporting Server -> Cognos Cube
But if you are already on Cognos why do you want to transfer data to OBIEE? Cognos is NOT an ETL tool. A Cognos Cube File is only a data file for a Cognos Reporting server.
Thanks

BIP report using HTML view in dashboard printing without scrollbars, parts

Have created BI Publisher report in the MS Word using Landscape page settings.The report is printing without scrollbars in the OBIEE Dashboard using HTML view.
Could not see the whole page output...have tried using resolution property settings in the dashboard configuration...havent found any solution.
Have tried to use MHTML but the logos are missing.
Any quick solution for the above will be very helpful.
Thanks
Baddam

Hi Venkat,
Thanks for your quick respond.
1.) Auto Run is enabled. And the report runs automatically as well. But then it ignores the dashboard prompt (as a regular report would do as well). But when I choose some values in the prompt and then press go. Then it says I have to press on view as well.
2.) no that is not the case. My report is so big that it always need a scroll bar ;) also adjusting the size settings in the dashboard doesn't help. The only occurs when viewing in HTML, when previewing in excel or RTF it all just work fine.
3.) true, but ow well this is the least importetant one ;) so if this doesn't work, than it doesn't work ;)
4.) Ok, I will have a look on that.
5.) I did enabled HTML and EXCEL outputs in my BIP report. But when the first point is working, then I don't want to see the control bar anymore and I want to have the output on the dashboard in HTML and then I want to build a button, or a link or something that exports the request to excel. Is that possible?
