Below is my requirment.How can i achieve this in BMM layer.
CASE WHEN TRUNC(REPORTDATE) <= TRUNC(SYSDATE-2) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END

Try this

How to use rank function in obiee rpd using evalute..

i created a logical column:
EVALUATE('RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY %1,%2)' AS DOUBLE PRECISION , Composites.Composites_Fact.MEMBER_LOCKED_BASE_RETURN, Composites.Composites_Fact.COMP_ID)
please provide some solution

There is a known bug with EVALUATE when returning numbers. When I has the same problem Oracle Metalink has adviced to use CAST on the end result of the EVALUATE and return it as a FLOAT datatype.
CAST(EVALUATE('my_function(%1)', logical_table.ROWID) AS FLOAT)

How to use TRUNC function with dates in Expression Builder in OBIEE.

Hi There,
How to use TRUNC function with dates in Expression Builder in OBIEE.
TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'MM') returns '07/01/2010' where sysdate is '07/15/2010' in SQL. I need to use the same thing in expression builder in BMM layer logical column.
Thanks in advance

use this instead:
TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, ( DAYOFMONTH(CURRENT_DATE) * -1) + 1, CURRENT_DATE)

How to use CAST function in obiee 11g in rpd

Hai,
I am trying to use the cast fucntion in rpd in bmm layer for a new logical column that I have created and is giving me error compile message.
Can any one please help me out or find out what is wrong in the function I am using.
The expression I am trying to use is
( CAST ( "Chase Card Acquisition"."Fact Deposit"."Base Earn" as decimal(18,0) ) + "Chase Card Acquisition"."Fact Deposit"."Tot Bonus Earn" )

Decimal is not a supported type in the logical layer. See:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e10540/sqlref.htm#BIEMG559
for supported types.
If you are casting as Int then do not specify the precision ('cast x as int' NOT 'cast x as int(y,z)'). Regards,
Robert

How does one access custom function in OBIEE RPD for Session Init Block SQL

Hello:
We are using SSO for authentication and authorization for OBIEE, using Init Blocks in the RPD and httpHeader as the source of variables in the Instanceconfig.xml file. (As long as the user is member of one group, the results are fine. However, as soon as the user is assigned to multiple groups, group values become URI-encoded.)
To solve the problem of URI-encoding, we have deployed a function to the DB (ora 10gr2).
The problem I am running into is that when I call the function from an Init Block (Security), OBIEE Presentation Services (OPS) acts as though the function does not exist or is not called.
Initialization String: select group_OBIEE(WEBGROUPS) from dual
("group_OBIEE" is the function that was deployed.)
Testing: Successfully tested the function in PL/SQL as well as using the Test button in RPD.
Reason for the fuction: The function decodes the extra characters using a substr function. SSO uses Shibboleth for Authentication and Authorization.
For example, for our group name, we expect to obtain the following value:
edw:hrdir;edw:findir (2 groups separated by a semi-colon)
However, we are obtaining the following: (Determined via the narrative view in Answers: @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.GROUP']} )
URI-ENCODED<edw%3ahrdir%3bedw%3bfindir>
Please note: There are no such problems when we are passing only a single group value (i.e. edw:hrdir). So, in cases when we pass only for Group for the user, we are able to authenticate and authorize w/o a problem.
Any suggestion on how to call the function or a better way to approach this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You don't need a function to assign the groups in your Init Block. In fact you should not use it. You need to use a standard select and define the Init Block as Row-Wise. This means the BI Server knows the Init Block will return more than one row. You select statement should look like this:
SELECT 'GROUP', YOUR_GROUP_NAME FROM YOUR GROUP_USERS_TABLE WHERE YOUR_USER_ID_COLUMN = ':USER'

How to use CHOOSE function in OBIEE

Hi,
Could any one help me out in using the choose function in OBIEE.
How can a column be restricted using the choose function, when different users belonging to different groups logs in.
Rakesh

It seems be obvious that you should not publish reports to users and groups who are not allowed to see the columns in the report,
but in practice it can be very challenging to oversee this, especially when you have a lot of groups and a very strict security model....or "unsurmountable" and unchangeable "business requirements" ;-)
Testing definitely is the crucial point. And when you start going nuts with column access rights plus column selectors, dynamic view switching, guided nav., dynamic column formulae etc. etc. the fun really begins.

STEP 3
I need to get all the dispatches on 1st of August and hence issue the statement as follows:
select * from test_partition where TRUNC(CREATE_DT)='01-Aug-2008' and EMP_RGN_NM = 'SE'
Using a function over the partitioned column, will it avaoid partition pruning? I mean will it scan all the partitiones instead of going to specific partition?
I need this urgently since we are having a discussion on this in few minutes from now.
Thanks so much
Saff

It's already good to know that the file gets picked up.

How to use groupby function in OBIEE ANSWERS ???

Hi ,
I need to find TOP 1000 client names on each product and I need to group the data by product. I am unable to group the data in Answers , I dont have access to the repository.
I used the Top function but unable to group the data. Please help me...

Why didn't using TOP work for you? What kind of results did you get?
I can also suggest using custom ColumnCount with RSUM () in it, applying filter RSUM()<=1000, and sorting by product amount DESC
and definitely your column order should be something like this - product group, client, product_amt, rowcount (you can actually remove this once you create filter for it)

Percentile_Disc Function in OBIEE 10g - Help needed at the earliest

Hi All,
I have a requirement of using PERCENTILE_DISC function in OBIEE 10g repository. I tried NTile function, to fetch the percentile. But that is not what am intending to see.
I have a requirement something similar to this, to be implemented in repository. Could anyone throw some light in this regard?
PERCENTILE_DISC(.25) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY F.Days asc) OVER (PARTITION BY A.NAME, B.PLACE)
Here F = Fact
A = 1st Dimension
B = 2nd Dimension
Days = Is calculated as TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY, A.DATE, B.DATE). Established Inner Join, to fetch this calculation in to the FACT
Appreciate your responses at the earliest. Thanks once again.
Regards,
Sarat Nallapati

Hi,
I don't have any idea on percentile_disc.
But,in OBIEE we have a function PERCENTILE()
It will give the percentage of each value in the total sum of all the values.
once check it.

Lakshmipathi.

Best practices on using EVALUATE functions

hi, experts,
I wanna know what is the best practices on using EVALUATE functions on obiee (calling oracle user defined functions)
I found that if I use evaluate functions in Answers,
obiee will construct a sql behind and then execute.
sometimes, obiee contructs some unexpected sqls, and returns errors.
so, is it better to use EVALUATE functions in logical columns ?
thanks

EVALUATE('DB_Function(%1)' as returntype, {Comma separated Expression})
even when used in Logical columns, its gonna fire the same sql.

Hi solved,
i have 3 rows as
a

i want to get a,b,c for that i used below code
EVALUATE_AGGR('LISTAGG(%3) WITHIN GROUP (order BY %1,%2 DESC)',"KQ_TASK"."ASSIGNED_TO",',',"KQ_TASK"."ASSIGNED_TO")
where %3 is third column which u want to get in single row

Using TRUNC in timestamps

Sir,
As you know we were using TRUNC function in DATE datatype. But I want to use it with TIMESTAMP datatypes. For example:
select trunc(systimestamp,'hh24:mi:ss') from dual;
The main idea to get some part of given timestamp without using type conversions (i.e. TO_CHAR).
Note that this is useful when you want to ADD or Subtract the time side from timestamp with interval values and comparing them to another timestamps fields or values.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I want to use this table function to generate answers report.
In the query i am using unions,bind variables.I can not create a database view on this query.The best solution would be creating a table function.
But,i do not know how to access/use/call this table function to create answers report.
