Value based break in WebI

Hi All,
we are Converting some Desk I reports to Web I version.Unfortunately Value based break was used in Desk I version whereas these functionality was not there in WebI.Could you suggest me an alternative for the value based break in Web I.
Thanks in advance

hi,
WEBI doesn't provide any controls on specific value of a Break.
Tool doesn't allow to preserve the footer only for certain value and not for others in a Break.

Center value across break in Webi 4.1?

I could not locate this option in BO 4.1 Webi, and I wonder if it exists in BO 4.1 SP4
Please advice

Hi Rakesh,
In a scenario based on Efashion where we have Quarter, Lines, Sales Revenue where we have more than one product line for each Quarter
Now when you apply a break on Quarter to avoid repetition of the same value (let us say Q1) the column will display Q1 only once in the first row and then the rest of the rows for Quarter will be empty
Now Center value across break means that Q1 will be centered instead of being on the top
In other words if we have 7 product lines for Q1 then the value Q1 will be displayed in the fourth row instead of the first
Thanks for taking the time to read

How exclude values based on text in web report

hi ,
i wanted some clarifications
how to exclude values based on text in web report.

hi ,
we had following requirement.
in web reprot we had sales group as a drill down.
now our client wants we can restict sales group values based on text.
like 11 - XXXX.
here 11 key value and xxxx is the text.
as of now we can restrict values based on key values.
but client wants we can restrict values based on text.
if you have any ideas on that plz let me know.

Creating a LOV based in a Web Service

Hey guys...
I need to create a Lov based in a Web Service Result, but in always getting the same error:
LOV query is invalid, a display and a return value are needed, the column names need to be different. If your query contains an in-line query, the first FROM clause in the SQL statement must not belong to the in-line query.
Queries that I'm trying:
Original Query:
select extractValue(value(t),'/*/imgLocation','xmlns="http://oracle.ovs.api/types/"') "imgLocation"
, extractValue(value(t),'/*/imgName','xmlns="http://oracle.ovs.api/types/"') "imgName"
from wwv_flow_collections c,
table(xmlsequence(extract(xmltype.createxml(c.clob001),'//getAllTemplateResourcesResponseElement/result','xmlns="http://oracle.ovs.api/types/"'))) t
where c.collection_name = 'P1_GETALLTEMPLATERESOURCES2_RESULTS'
Other Query that I tried:
select imgLocation, imgName from (
select extractValue(value(t),'/*/imgLocation','xmlns="http://oracle.ovs.api/types/"') "imgLocation"
, extractValue(value(t),'/*/imgName','xmlns="http://oracle.ovs.api/types/"') "imgName"
from wwv_flow_collections c,
table(xmlsequence(extract(xmltype.createxml(c.clob001),'//getAllTemplateResourcesResponseElement/result','xmlns="http://oracle.ovs.api/types/"'))) t
where c.collection_name = 'P1_GETALLTEMPLATERESOURCES2_RESULTS')
And I tried creating a view, but I dont know where I have to put this.. Maybe in another process?
create view as
select imgLocation, imgName from (
select extractValue(value(t),'/*/imgLocation','xmlns="http://oracle.ovs.api/types/"') "imgLocation"
, extractValue(value(t),'/*/imgName','xmlns="http://oracle.ovs.api/types/"') "imgName"
from wwv_flow_collections c,
table(xmlsequence(extract(xmltype.createxml(c.clob001),'//getAllTemplateResourcesResponseElement/result','xmlns="http://oracle.ovs.api/types/"'))) t
where c.collection_name = 'P1_GETALLTEMPLATERESOURCES2_RESULTS')
Thanks

Fox,
I'd start by adding column aliases D and R to the query and see if that helps.

Security for value based hierarchy + OLAP

Hi,
I am using row-level security mechanism described here: http://www.rittmanmead.com/2012/03/obiee-11g-security-week-row-level-security/
It works well for level based hierarchies... but is there a way to apply it to value based OLAP hierarchy in OBIEE 11.1.1.6?
My case is:
- I have parent-child value based hierarchy representing management structure with various depth.
- of course facts are always linked to leaf members of hierarchy
- I need to apply security at different levels. E.g. Office manager should have access to one/multiple offices information (basically all employees he manage currently + his previous office before he was moved)
- In report I display presentation hierarchy that starts at country level and then manager drill to his offices
- At country level, manager should see a measure aggregate only for his offices (not whole country)
In relational database there is no problem:
- I follow rittman blog
- create session variable that store list of all leaf members of hierarchy (employees) managed by manager
- with OBIEE "Manage"->"Identity" I apply filter on fact table and get right measure aggregates at all levels of hierarchy
Issue for OLAP:
- with OBIEE "Manage"->"Identity" I apply filter on OLAP value based hierarchy
- in case of filter "MY_BMM"."Org Str"."Org Str Key" = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."LEAFS_LIST") -> when manager include hierarchy column to report there are no results because hierarchy starts at country level and he have no access to country data
- to workaround it I tried: "MY_BMM"."Org Str"."Org Str Key" = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."LEAFS_LIST_AND_ALL_ANCESTORS") -> manager can see all aggregates at country level because he have access to country, and OLAP just use country level aggregate
- IsDescendant("MY_BMM"."Org Str" , VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."OFFICE_ID")) will work only for single office as we can not use row wise variables here
One solution I can imagine is to create additional level based dimension that have only 2 levels: "All"->"Org Str Leaf". Then apply filter on this "artifitial" dimension. It is not perfect solution to duplicate dimensions only for security purposes... that's why I ask you for advice if you know better way?
Regards,
mudi

Here is an example, how to set security in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 (or future versions) against Oracle OLAP dimensions.
*(1). Create the Oracle OLAP Hierarchy Descendant View against Value-based hierarchy*
These views return a row for each ancestor-descendent relationship in the hierarchy. As you can see how easy it is.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW DEPT_DESCENDANTS
AS
SELECT 'DEPT' "DIMENSION", 'DEPTHIER' "HIER", ancestor, descendant
FROM TABLE(OLAP_TABLE('BAWOLAP.BNSOLAP DURATION QUERY', null, 'LIMIT DEPT_HIERLIST TO 'DEPTHIER''',
'DMNS DESCENDANT AS VARCHAR2(60) FROM DEPT
DMNS GID_VAL AS NUMBER FROM ___AW_GID_DIMENSION
MSR ANCESTOR AS VARCHAR2(60) FROM DEPT_FAMILYRELVAL'
where ancestor is not null
*(2). Create the User ACL Tables and Populate with Data*
Create an Access Control list test table by user and Dept. Later this will be populated with production data.
create table user_dept_acls
username varchar2(30),
dept varchar2(60)
insert into user_dept_acls(username, dept) values ('user1', 'GWM');
insert into user_dept_acls(username, dept) values ('user1', 'GT');
insert into user_dept_acls(username, dept) values ('user1', 'SC');
insert into user_dept_acls(username, dept) values ('user2', 'GWM');
insert into user_dept_acls(username, dept) values ('user2', 'GT');
insert into user_dept_acls(username, dept) values ('user3', 'SC');
commit;
*(3). Create an Init Block Connection Pool*
Oracle BI EE requires a separate Connect Pool for Init blocks. It does not allow the default query connection pool to be reused for init blocks. So, we need to create a new init block.
*(4). Create the ACL Session Variables*
These session variables hold the list of all members that the user may access.
Example Session Variable: DEPT_ACL
Init Block: "Init DEPT_ACL"
SQL:
select 'DEPT_ACL', account from user_DEPT_acls where username = ':USER'
union all
select 'DEPT_ACL', descendant
from DEPT_descendants
where ancestor in (select account from user_DEPT_acls where username = ':USER')
union all
select 'DEPT_ACL', ancestor
from DEPT_descendants
where descendant in (select account from user_DEPT_acls where username = ':USER')
The first query block of the init block SQL just selects the members explicitly entered into the ACL table. The second block selects all the descendants of those members from the descendants view. The third block selects all the ancestors to ensure that the user has access to all the members in the drill path starting from the root member.
Make sure that row-wise initialization is checked in the Variable Target section of the init block.
*(5). Add the Data Filters*
In our test case we assigned the data filters to the BIAuthor role, but the filters should be added to whatever role makes the most sense.
Data filter on "BNSGL"."Department":
"BNSGL"."Department"."Dept" = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."DEPT_ACL")
*(6). Log in as a Normal User and Query the Hierarchy*
The user can only see to the members to which they are granted access in the ACL table plus all ancestors and descendants of those members.
Drill down to the bottom of the hierarchy.
*(7). Look at the Query Log*
In the nqquery.log we see that the session variable is expanded into an IN list in the physical SQL query. The BI Server breaks the IN list into two IN lists to avoid the Oracle SQL limit of 1,000 items per IN list.

Value based on the periodic unit price (only with pr.ctrl S)

Dear all,
There is this field in mateial master called "Value based on the periodic unit price (only with pr.ctrl S)" in accounting view 1,
1 - May I know what is this field about (in between our company using material ledger).
2 - May I know why the value of this field are different between our company period 6 and period 7 for this year? what contribute to it? and is it something wrong with different value between two different period or absolutely normal?
Thanks.

Value based on the periodic unit price(only with pr.ctrl S) field in MatMas

Hi Tuffy,
For your 1st query:
PUP field in Accounting 1 (if ML is active, Price Determination indicator=3) is the result of Actual Costing Run (CKMLCP) closing entry.
For your 2nd query:
In most of the cases the values will be different in Previous Period and Current Period. e.g.Period 6 values are the results of Actual Costing Run (CKMLCP) in 1st week of Period 6 for Previous Period (i.e. Period 5). Period 7 values are the results of Actual Costing Run (CKMLCP) in 1st week of Period 7 for Previous Period (i.e. Period 6).
The reason for the different values: Price differences, Exchange rate differences, Price/Exchange rate differences from Low lower materials, etc.
Thanks & Regards,
ADI

Preaggregation across value based hierarchy dimension in 11g

Hi All,
I have created a cube with 6 dimensions in olap 11g. One of those six dimensions has only one hierarchy which is value based hierarchy. I have chosen level based aggregation as I know at what levels exactly users are going to query. When I was going through the dimensions to choose levels to preaggregate I noticed there were no options available for my value based hierarchy dimension ( I could see "all" option for the same case in 10g) then I tried to look for definitions of underlying objects just to make sure it will preaggregate data across my value based hierarchy dimension.
I found value set corresponding to my value based hierarchy dimension in <CUBE NAME>SOLVEAGGMAP object , which AWM uses to decide which dimension values to preaggregate but if I do rpr on that value set (rp r<CUBE NAME>SOLVE<DIMENSION NAME>_PVSET) it shows NA so my question is can I pre aggregate across value based hierarchy dimension in olap 11g?
Olap Version: 11.2.0.1
AWM version: 11.2.0.1
Thanks

Even if you know exactly which levels your users will query, percent based precompute (e.g. 30%) may still be faster in practice because queries are returned using 'sparse looping' instead of 'dense looping'. This was the single biggest performance advantage of 11g over 10g.
But if you still want to use level based precompute, then you should look at the XML template for the cube (as saved by AWM, for example). In it you should find something called PrecomputeCondition. This defines the set of members that are precomputed. Here is an example I just created using the GLOBAL schema
<PrecomputeCondition>
<![CDATA[
"TIME" LEVELS ("TIME"."MONTH", "TIME".CALENDAR_QUARTER, "TIME".CALENDAR_YEAR),
CHANNEL LEVELS (CHANNEL.TOTAL_CHANNEL, CHANNEL.CHANNEL),
CUSTOMER LEVELS (CUSTOMER.MARKET_SEGMENT, CUSTOMER.REGION, CUSTOMER.SHIP_TO),
PRODUCT LEVELS (PRODUCT.CLASS, PRODUCT.FAMILY, PRODUCT.ITEM)]]>
</PrecomputeCondition>The PrecomputeCondition is also visible through the USER_CUBES view.
SELECT PRECOMPUTE_CONDITION
FROM USER_CUBES
WHERE CUBE_NAME = 'MY_CUBE';You can hand modify this condition in the XML to specify an alternative 'non level based' precompute condition for any dimension. For example, if you define an attribute named 'SHOULD_PRECOMPUTE' on your PRODUCT dimension that is 1 for members to be precomputed and 0 for all others, then you can change the condition as follows.
<PrecomputeCondition>
<![CDATA[
"TIME" LEVELS ("TIME"."MONTH", "TIME".CALENDAR_QUARTER, "TIME".CALENDAR_YEAR),
CHANNEL LEVELS (CHANNEL.TOTAL_CHANNEL, CHANNEL.CHANNEL),
CUSTOMER LEVELS (CUSTOMER.MARKET_SEGMENT, CUSTOMER.REGION, CUSTOMER.SHIP_TO),
PRODUCT WHERE PRODUCT.SHOULD_PRECOMPUTE = 1]]>
</PrecomputeCondition>If you recreate the cube from the XML with this condition, then the PVSET valueset you discovered should contain all dimension members for which the attribute value is 1.   This gives you complete control over what is precomputed.   Note that AWM doesn't support this form of condition, so it won't show up if you go to the Precompute tab, but it is valid for the server. The PL/SQL below will modify the PrecomputeCondition (for the cube named MYCUBE) without going through AWM.
begin
dbms_cube.import_xml(q'!
<Metadata
Version="1.3"
MinimumDatabaseVersion="11.2.0.2">
<Cube Name="MY_CUBE">
    <Organization>
      <AWCubeOrganization>

          <![CDATA[

           CHANNEL LEVELS (CHANNEL.TOTAL_CHANNEL,CHANNEL.CHANNEL),
           CUSTOMER LEVELS (CUSTOMER.MARKET_SEGMENT,CUSTOMER.REGION,CUSTOMER.SHIP_TO),
           PRODUCT WHERE PRODUCT.SHOULD_PRECOMPUTE = 1]]>

Value based hierarchy 11g question

Hi,
in my BMM i've created a level based hierarchy composed of two levels: TOTAL and Audiologist
Total level is setted as Grand Total level and doesn't have logical columns.
At audiologist level insted i drag and drop two logical columns: Audiologist Code and Audiologist Name
Then i created two keys.
First Key: Audiologist Code - Use to display: None
Second Key: Audiologist Code and Audiologist Name - Use to display : YES
Graphically my hierarchy is as follow:
Total-----
Audiologist
Audiologist Code
Audiologist Name
Now i would like that if i drill down Total appear simultaneously two columns: Audiologist Code and Audiologist Name.
Is it possible? I remember that in 10 it was.
It's quite urgent.
Thanks

Based on my experience of OWB10gR2 the option to create a "Value Based" hierarchy is only enabled if you create an AW based OLAP model. If you want to create a ROLAP model then I do not think this is possible.
Question is why create a ROLAP model when you could get better performance and more powerful analytical features by using a multidimensional model within an analytic workspace.

i planned to set the properties of lookup as like this
look up query as select UD_LDAP_USR_COMMON_NAME as NisNetTriple from UD_LDAP_USR
ColumnNames as UD_LDAP_USR_COMMON_NAME
Column captions as UD_LDAP_USR_COMMON_NAME
Column width as 30
Lookup Column Name as UD_LDAP_USR_COMMON_NAME
But when i try to add ColumnName as wht i mentioned above i m getting invalid property exception,update failed
I am not sure about that are we able to use other Connector table prefix with UD into the another processFrom
Let me give update on this issue
Urgent,struck my work here

Parent-child hierarchy (Value based hierarchy)

As anyone created a parent-child hierarchy using Oracle Warehouse Builder or Analytic Workspace Manager. I am using Oracle 10g Rel2 (and AWM) and OWB 10g Rel2.
The values in the dimension table defines the hierarchy.
I don't see an option of creating a value-based hierarchy in OWB though it is mentioned that it supports this particular hierarchy.
In AWM, I am able to create the hierarchy but when I try to view the data in the dimension it gives an error BIB-9531 Invalid hierarchy specified.
Can you please let me know if I am missing something.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Maruthi

I've done some work with this, and it hasn't been easy going. There is no built-in ability to form a hierarchy of measure columns, at least nothing that can be predefined as the drill for a fact column. For example: I have 220 details of expense that have an exact arrangement with 5 levels and subtotals. Besides the expense detail there are say 4 dimensions, so the expense detail would be the 5th dimension. I have both arrangements in my rpd: 4D and 5D. They can be used together or separately. The 4D basically has 1000's of measures and there is no relationship between them besides the display arrangement in Answers. The 5D has a 5 column dimension that can drill the expense column from Total_Expense down to the 220 rows of detail expense.

Value based hierarchy (parent-child)

Does anybody have any experience in modeling a parent-child dimension ( value based hierarchy instead of level based ) in OBIEE?

To create a value based hierarchy:
define the storage as MOLAP, as a minimum create 2 attributes one for the dimension member (define as business in Identifier column), one for the parent member referenece (define as parent in Identifier column), the hierarchy will have no levels. If you add this dimension into a map, you should have a mapping port for both the dimension member and the parent reference. The dimension will use 'Use natural keys from data source'.
There is an expert for simplifying some of this, not sure on when it will be made available on OTN, it drives the creation of the dimensional objects from tables/views etc..
