VMWare Image of OBIEE 11G

Windows XP 32 Bit
Oracle DB 11G
OBIEE 11G
Can I do a fresh nstall of OBIEE 11G/Oracle DB 11G on Windows XP 32 Bit and then make a VMWare Image of that that will be portable to Windows 7 and other Windows XP machines via VMWare.
Thanks In Advance

Ingo, Thank You for your response. I've been all over the various SAP support sites and can not find the software that you mention. Could you please help point me to the correct location? I would like to either 1) connect to an existing SAP DEMO system using my BOE environment to demo CR and Xcelsius or 2) access a vmware image of an SAP DEMO system to do the same.
Thanks for your help.

OBIEE 11g : Unable to see any images while customizing styles and skins

Hi,
I am trying to customize OBIEE 11g style and skin. I followed the steps mentioned at http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/12/oracle-bi-ee-11g-styles-skins-custom-xml-messages/ and also in oracle white paper http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi/customizing-oracle-biee-11g-176387.pdf.
I am not able to see any images on any OBIEE screens. After login, I can see the name of skin which i have created as the default skin but login page images, header images (after login) are not coming up. Can you please provide solution?
P.S. I have not changed any images or any css files in the custom skin and style directory. I just wanted to know first whether the new skin/style works for me. If it works, then i will apply some sort of customization.

That is correct. Also remember to delete browser cache. Here you have the folders: Re: how to insert the picture in the dashboard of BIEE

Hi,
Placing the image file in /l_en folder dint work for me too however you can place them inside the following paths and restart the services,
1)
\MW_HOME\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\servers\AdminServer\tmp\_WL_user\analytics_11.1.1\silp1v\war\res\s_blafp\images
2)
\MW_HOME\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\app\res\s_blafp\images
You can then call your file with the url, http://hostname:port/analytics/res/imagefile.jpg
Its worked for me, let me know in case of any issues.
Thanks

OBIEE 11g Title view Image position

Hi All,
Is there any way to change the position of image in title view in OBIEE 11g.By, default the image is coming on the left side..In my report i wanna display on the right side..
Guys please help..
Regards

In order to achieve this, you will need a custom skin (you can modify the original file, but I would not suggest to do this!).
The controlling file for the GUI rendering with regards to the title view is in the msgdb. It's the /messages/standardviewtemplates.xml. Again: please follow the process to create a custom skin and put the modified standardviewtemplates.xml there.
Changes to be made are here:
Standard:
<WebMessage name="kuiTitleViewDisplay" translate="no">
<HTML>
    <table class="TitleTable" cellspacing="0" style="@{tableStyle}"
    width="100%">
      <sawm:if test="logo || title || help">
        <tr>
          <sawm:if name="logo">
            <td class="TitleLogo" style="@{logoStyle}" rowspan="4">
            <img border="0" src="
            <sawm:param name="logo" />" alt="
            <sawm:messageRef name="kmsgTitleViewLogo" />" title="

          </sawm:if>
          <sawm:if name="title">
            <td class="TitleCell" style="@{titleStyle}"
            title="@{desc}">

              </a>
            </td>
          </sawm:if>
        </tr>
      </sawm:if>
After changes:
<WebMessage name="kuiTitleViewDisplay" translate="no">

    <table class="TitleTable" cellspacing="0" style="@{tableStyle}"
    width="100%">

          <sawm:if name="title">
            <td class="TitleCell" style="@{titleStyle}"
            title="@{desc}">
              <sawm:param name="title" />
            </td>
          </sawm:if>
          <sawm:if name="help">
            <td class="TitleHelp" align="right" rowspan="4">
              <a href="@{help}" target="_blank">
                <img border="0" alt="" src="fmap:Views/Help.gif" />
              </a>
            </td>
          </sawm:if>
          <sawm:if name="logo">
            <td class="TitleLogo" style="@{logoStyle}" rowspan="4">

          </sawm:if>
        </tr>
      </sawm:if>
Basically you switch around the order of Logo -> Title -> Help to Title -> Help -> Logo. This way you know what happens in the doce above and make it Title -> Logo -> Help if you want.
These changes are application-wide wherever the custom skin is used (or just applciation-wide full stop if you modify the original file).

Links to document in OBIEE 11G

Hi,
I would like to know, how certain links to stored document can be configured in OBIEE 11G
eg: We have 'Help' icon, on click it opens up the 'Help Doc' which is stored in default (../analytics/olh/l_en) location.
I want to know where are the settings (in which files) to edit the link and point to someother location
Regards,
Jitendra

Ok,
We wanted to show an Icon or Link which will navigate user (once clicked) to a pre-defined location where 'Help Content Files' will be located.
Now, I was able to achieve this with the use of "Link or Image" object from 'Dashboard Objects' (once you edit Dashboard check the options at LHS); and configuring 'Link or Image Object' with path to files as well as image.

Jitendra

Help with displaying BLOBs in OBIEE 11g

I am trying to get OBIEE 11g to display photographs in an Analysis report. I know BLOB fields are not supported, and I have been reading posts on this board and following examples on internet sites that try to get round this problem. But, try as I might, I cannot get those pesky photos to display.
Below are all the steps I have followed. Sorry that there is a lot to read, but I was hoping that somebody has been successful in doing this, and may spot something in one of my steps that I am doing wrong.
ORACLE TRANSACTIONAL SOURCE_
Table : EMPL_PHOTO
Fields:
USN VARCHAR2(11) ( Unique Key )
EMPLOYEE_PHOTO BLOB ( I think the photos are stored as 'png' )
ORACLE WAREHOUSE SOURCE_
Table : D_PERSON_PHOTO_LKUP
Fields :
PERSON_KEY     NUMBER(38,0) ( Primary Key - Surrogate )
USN     VARCHAR2(11)
PHOTO     CLOB
BLOB to CLOB conversion.
I used this function :
     create or replace function blob_to_clob_base64(p_data in blob)
     return clob
     is
     l_bufsize integer := 16386;
     l_buffer raw(16386);
     l_offset integer default 1;
     l_result clob;
     begin
     dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_result, false, dbms_lob.call);
     loop
     begin
     dbms_lob.read(p_data, l_bufsize, l_offset, l_buffer);
     exception
     when no_data_found then
     exit;
     end;
     l_offset := l_offset + l_bufsize;
     dbms_lob.append(l_result, to_clob(utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(utl_encode.base64_encode(l_buffer))));
     end loop;
     return l_result;
     end;
     select usn, employee_photo ,
     BLOB_TO_CLOB_BASE64(employee_photo)
     from empl_photo
IN OBIEE ADMINISTRATION TOOL_
*1) Physical Layer*
Added D_PERSON_PHOTO_LKUP from Connection Pool
Left it as 'Cachable'
Didn't join it to any tables
Changed field PHOTO to a 'LONGVARCHAR' length 100000
Set USN as the Key ( not the surrogate key )
*2) BMM Layer*
Dragged D_PERSON_PHOTO_LKUP across.
Renamed it to 'LkUp - Photo'
Ticked the 'lookup table' box
Removed the surrogate key
Kept USN as the Primary key
The icon shows it similar to a Fact table, with a yellow key and green arrow.
On Dimension table D_PERSON_DETAILS (Dim - P01 - Person Details) added a new logical column
Called it 'Photo'
Changed the column source to be derived from an expression.
Set the expression to be :
Lookup(DENSE
"People"."LkUp - Photo"."PHOTO",
"People"."Dim - P01 - Person Details"."USN" )
Icon now shows an 'fx' against it.
Note: This table also had it Surrogate key removed, and USN setting as primary key.
*3) Presentation Layer*
Dragged the new Photo field across.
Saved Repository file, uploaded, and restarted server.
ONLINE OBIEE_
Created a new Analysis.
Selected USN from 'Person Details'
Selected Photo from 'Person Details'
Selected a measure from the Fact table
Under column properties of Photo ( data format ) :
- Ticked 'Override Default Data Format' box
- Set to Image URL
- Custom text format changed to : @[html]"<img alt="" src=""@H"">"
Under column properties of Photo ( edit formula ) :
- Changed to : 'data:image/png;base64,'||"Person Details"."Photo"
The Advanced tab shows the sql as :
     SELECT
     0 s_0,
     "People"."Person Details"."USN" s_1,
     'data:image/png;base64,'||"People"."Person Details"."Photo" s_2,
     "People"."MEASURE"."Count" s_3
     FROM "People"
     ORDER BY 1, 2 ASC NULLS LAST, 3 ASC NULLS LAST
     FETCH FIRST 65001 ROWS ONLY
Going into the 'results' tab, get error message:
+State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 932, message: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CLOB at OCI call OCIStmtExecute. [nQSError: 17010] SQL statement preparation failed. (HY000)+
It doesn't seem to be using the Lookup table, but can't work out at which step I have gone wrong.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks, yes I followed http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/bi.1111/e10540/busmodlayer.htm#BGBDBDHI, but when I get to the part of setting the LOOKUP function on th Physical source, only ONE physical source is displayed. I need TWO sources ( The Employee Table, and the Photo LookUp.
I have raised this as an error with Oracle. We are now on OBIEE 11.1.1.7, but Oracle say BLOBS are still not supported in that release. It will be fixed in 11.1.1.8 and it will be backported into 11.1.1.6.11
In the meantime we have abandoned showing Photo's in any of our reports.

Issue in OBIEE 11G Google Maps

Hi All,
Am able to use the Google maps in OBIEE 11G and built the Barchart that should show X-Axis : Cities , Y-Axis : Measure for each State . But the problem is when i click on one state , it is showing all the cities and metric in the map instead of showing only corresponding cities of particular state.
Please clik on https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B3A03HtPEX65YjExZDNlMDEtOTc3NC00ZGE0LThhMmMtMTRmZmRlNjAxZDU3 for image .
Thanks in Advance .
Edited by: Hercules on Nov 11, 2011 9:04 AM

On the left hand corner you will see list of views in the report, on a basic analysis you will see title and table view. Select the table view and click on edit ( pencil symbol ). A new page opens up, scroll down a little and you will see the columns included and columns excluded sections. Make sure the column that you are trying to add to the report is not present in the excluded list. If it is, drag and drop it above.
Answer points if question is answered.
Thanks,

Connection Failed in OBIEE 11g Admin tool

Hi,
I have virtual image V305 of OBIEE on linux x86-64. It is working fine but I was not able to access Admintool from linux m/c.
So I have installed OBIEE 11g client on windows XP. It is showing all the subject area & tables. But when I am importing any table from my DB, it is giving error "Connection has failed". I have done tnsname.Ora file in both folder Oracle client & OBIEE client
Please help me as soon as possible.
Thanks

I've found a work around for using tnsnames:
put the following string in "Data Source" and it works
(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <your host>)(PORT = 1521))(CONNECT_DATA =(SERVER = DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME = <your database>)))
Can you please refer below links for more methods.

Default Colors Limit for Graph in OBIEE 11g

Hi, I'm using OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.6.6)
When I use a graph (either bar or pie), I notice that OBIEE only has 12 default colors to use in the graph. So it starts from blue, red, and so forth, until the 12th color, then for the 13th color it will use the same blue again, and so forth.
The problem is that my column values are more than 12 (it could be 20, it could be 30, etc). So, the repeating colors doesn't make any sense for the graphs.
Could somebody please advise me on how to increase the default number of default colors used by OBIEE (so that it will be like 50 default colors set automatically by OBIEE, just in case)?
Thanks so much!

Hi,
type HexaDecimal colors in google you will find n number of colors with the code number, just use this color codes by adding# before every code in the column format properties.
for ex: #ccc99
Follow this follwoing link

Implementing pyramid kind of chart in OBIEE 11G

Hi All,
We have reports developed in flash, where we have a pyramid report which is divided into 4 parts and top part will show no of partners associated to top 25% of bookings, and next part will show # of partners asociated to next 25% of bookings and so on.
Now we need to get this report done in OBIEE 11G, I see that there is no Pyramid view report in OBIEE.
can anyone let me know if there is any way to get this pyramid done in OBIEE11G
OR
suggest which report will best suite this requirement, if i go with other report types present in OBIEE11G...
Thanks in advance...
Edited by: user8708843 on Sep 27, 2011 4:07 PM

Work around you can use Narrative view with HTML to get a pyramid kind of structure. not triangle one but rectangular boxes. You need to get html images rectangular,polygon and triangle in the HTML.
