Validation in OBIEE

Hi Experts ,
We have two prompt in our report. From Date and To Date.
We need to make sure that From Date is smaller than To Date
For example From Date 01-01-2009 and To Date 01-04-2009
Is there any way to validate that From Date will be smaller than To Date.
IF the end user selects From Date greater than To Date he should get a Pop Error Message.
Could any one of you please let me know how to achieve this.
Thanks In Advance.
Cheers,
Andy

Catalog Validation in OBIEE CLuster

Hi Friends,
I am planning to do catalog validation. My environment is OBIEE Cluster... I am reading throug the documentation and it is little bit confusing...
What documentation says :
shut down both PS1 and ps2 ( Presentation services)
and put you r validation elements in instance config (ps1)
and start your presentation services ......
Do I need to do it on both presentation services (or)
Is it fine If I do it on one node... Please clarify....
Thanks
OBIL

if your catalog is shared location then either one should work, if not then u need to do on both

Cache Issue

Hello All,
I have a strange question....let say
I have created a report...
run the report output records count are 11 records
Data cache generated in rpd
Query cache also generated
Now a new records has been inserted in backend (*backend record count is now 12 records*)
i have purge the cache of rpd
i have not closed the cursor by going into manage session
I go back to answers without logging out of obiee
run the same report from answers
i get the *11 records* where as when i close the cursor and run the same report/ or logout and run the same report again it gives me 12 records.
Please experts i need your valuable suggestion on this behavior of OBIEE.
thanks

Hi,
I believe it's the prensenation server cache that is not cleared until you log out from Answers.I had the same behavior when implementing the writeback functionality.You might not see new data until you log out and login again.
Add the following TAGS into your instanceconfig.xml and try again (NB:the syntax only valid for obiee 10g)
<CacheMaxExpireMinutes>-1</CacheMaxExpireMinutes>
<CacheMinExpireMinutes>-1</CacheMinExpireMinutes>
<CacheMinUserExpireMinutes>-1</CacheMinUserExpireMinutes>

Left outer join in presentation layer

Could I do left outer join in presentation layer? I have 2 reports. They both have a common column - "Month". The first report have columns - "Month" and "Measure1" and the second report have columns - "Month" and "Measure2". I would like to put them together so the final report would have "Month", "Measure1" and "Measure2".
Thanks,
Ted

Ted,
It is not clear to me, why you want to do an outer join. If the dimension Month is shared by both "Measure1" and "Measure2", then it will work without any problem (assuming the RPD is configured correctly).
An outer join comes into play if you need to preserve the dimension records. Let's assume you want to run an analysis like "Show me all months were there was no sales". In plain SQL you would to do a left-outer join between the Month dimension table and the sales fact table. If you want to know how this can be achieved in OBIEE you might want to have a look here [Outer join style report - OBIEE 10g|https://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=9805768#9805768]. This should be still valid for OBIEE 11g.
Best regards,

What could be the query to get Spend Amount for a Product name in EBS?

Hi Experts,
I need a help to write a query in EBS to get Spend Amount for any given Product Name and Top Level Category (Segment1).
It can be two different query or a single one. Please reply if anyone knows how to do it. I need it for testing purpose.
Thanks in advance.

All good here Sudipta.
You can try the below SQL.
SELECT msib.description,mcb.segment1,SUM(pla.quantity*pla.unit_price) total_spend
FROM
po_lines_all pla,
mtl_categories_b mcb,
mtl_system_items_b msib
WHERE pla.category_id = mcb.category_id
AND pla.item_id = msib.inventory_item_id
AND msib.organization_id = <enter your item master organization id>
GROUP BY msib.description,mcb.segment1
If you don't want to use the PO_LINES_ALL, is there any other sourced you are planning to use for spend.
SELECT mcb.segment1,SUM(pla.quantity*pla.unit_price) total_spend
FROM
po_lines_all pla,
mtl_categories_b mcb
WHERE pla.category_id = mcb.category_id
GROUP BY mcb.segment1
and do not need the po_lines_all table. I'm doing a data validation between OBIEE reports and EBS test data. In report i'm keeping only Product Name and Spend Amount to make it simple. Now I need to check the values are same in report and EBS. Thats the criteria.
Thanks
Sudipta

OBIEE 11g - Prompt Validation

Hello Gurus,
I am trying to validate a textfield prompt in a dashboard page, OBIEE 11.1.1.6, and looking for some assistance on the same. Have detailed the scenario below.
Scenario:
A dashboard page has a textfield prompt, which sets the value entered by user in a Presentation Variable "rg_office". The same dashboard page has a report, wherein one of the columns is "Office". Depending upon the value entered by the user in the textfield prompt, report would be displayed.
As we know, by making "Office" is prompted, report would be displayed. In case there is no matching value, filter section would show no match found.
What I Want:
The value entered in the textfield prompt should be of specific format. I want to show end-user an alert message if the value entered by him/her does not correspond to a specific format (format like 99:99 only). How can I incorporate the same in my dashboard?
Eagerly awaiting response.
Thanks & Regards,
RG

Hi Rahul,
Create a report that checks for the data format. Make sure the report returns rows based on your condition.
Add a static text " Please enter the data is correct format " to dashboard section, make the section to display conditionaly by adding the above created report as a condition. Whenever user enters incorrect format the text will display instead of actual report. For more info on guided navigation,

Data Validation between BO and OBIEE reports

How to validate a data in the BO and OBIEE reports are same?
Plz send the necessary steps for validate.
Is there any tool is used for validate the data in the BO and OBIEE reports are same?

There is no tool for this - you will have to do this using manual checking. Define a test case, run the report on both systems, compare the results. Repeat.

Error while deploying, Custom Style Skin in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7

Hi,
I have deployed Custom Style Skin in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 successfuly (with the help of http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/12/oracle-bi-ee-11g-styles-skins-custom-xml-messages/ ).
Now when we're moving RPD, Catalog & Custom Style Skin from OBIEE 11.1.1.5 to OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7, I could deploy RPD & Catalog but am not able to deploy Custom Style & Skin Folders.
If you are aware of the process of deploying Custom Style & Skins (as mentioned in the link above), it requies:
1. Custom Style & Skins folder to be Deploy using Weblogic Console.
2. Making necessary changes in instanceconfig.xml (to point to the deployed folder) ---- this is where it's failing.
When I do add necessary tags ( <URL> & <UI>) in instanceconfig.xml and restart Services. Presentation Services dosen't come up. Error message that is in log file is:
In element URL: Can not have element children within a simple content.
unknown element 'UI'
Element 'UI' is not valid for content model : 'All(URL, SocketTimeoutSec,FileSizeMB)'
Any pointers?
Regards,
Jitendra

Cannot find dashboard and reports after upgrading rdp from 10g to 11g OBIEE

Hi all
I am trying to upgrade from OBIEE 10g to 11g. These two products are installed on different servers. I have followed the guide: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/issue-archive/2011/11-jul/o41bi-402913.html and everything seems to work fine.
So i have taken a copy of rdp from the server where was installed OBIEE 10g and took it in the server where OBIEE 11g is installed.
Ran the upgrade tool and upgrade finished successfully. Restarted the BI Servers in core application on Enterprise Manager.
Now when i access the upgraded rpd, the layers and the fields are fine but I cannot find all the reports and dashboards that i had created.
Am I missing any upgrade steps?
Please suggest
Thank you and best regards

Hi Deepak,
Thanks for your response.
Oracle also came back to me and looks like my method is not valid:
Hi Jim,
Thanks a lot for the information. First of all I would like to inform you that upgrade CANNOT be performed across two machine. So, if 10g installation is on Host A, then upgrade to 11g will be on Host A.
So, in your scenario this is what you can do:
1. On Host A running Forms/Discoverer 10g on Windows 2003, install Forms/Discoverer/Reports 11g (11.1.1.6.0)
2. Run the upgrade Assistant to perform the upgrade from 10g to 11g.
3. Now upgrade OS of Host A to Windows 2008
In short, I would like to inform you that upgrades across machines does not work. Source instance which is 10g and destination instance which is 11g must exist on same box.
Here is the documentation which you can follow:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/upgrade.1111/e10130/toc.htm
(Oracle® Fusion Middleware Upgrade Guide for Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports, and Discoverer)
11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Thanks,
Rishi

Hi,
It's Port no issues. if u r going with autoportconfiguration it will refer 7001 to 7005 port. that port no are unavailable u r laptop.
solution 1:
go with manual prt configuration method and use available port(enterprise/software only install ).
solution 2: disable Mecafi antivirus --> this may use 7001 to 7005 port no. then try it again.
Note: obiee11g ok with win 7 ultimat/professional edition. it's having lot of issues with win 7 basic/home perimum edition so make sure u r version. i.e: first of all officially oracle not supporting win 7 os
FYI: certification matrix

Obiee 11g - Master/detail : How to initialize details ?

Hi gurus,
I'm using the last version of obiee.
I have a dashboard with master/detail. The master/details are working great when I click on cells.
But I have some "initialization" problems.
- master/detail with a prompt list on the master table
a change on the list won't initialize the detail. I would like to have the detail refreshed with the first row of the master.
- master/detail with different order by on master and detail
the initialization value of the detail does not fit with the first row of the master.
Is it possible to achieve this ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Emmanuel

Hi Dpka,
Thanks for sharing your view . I ,even observe the same 'error' message returining false value at the bottom-left of my browser when set up the Master detail even and clicked my table column to reflect the value in the graph .
But my situation is bit tricky . I can't expose two different views to see if separating the interaction works well or not . In my case I have only 1 report with 4 compound layout(with pivot table(master) and Graph(detail)) having view selector . So this is practically not separable as this incurs loss of other functionalities.
Do you have any suggestion in mind . I tried to see Supportweb and doesn't have any valid bug reported :(
