What is use of protect filter in OBIEE

Hi guys,
Could you please let me know what is use of Protect filter in OBIEE ?
Regards,
sk

"Protect filter" basically "hard-codes" a filter so that it won't be overwritten.
Say you want to always filter a column for "X," but also want to include a value from a dashboard prompt. So you write the following:
table.column = 'X'
or
table.column "Is prompted"
The user chooses the value "Y" from the prompt and the filters now look like this:
table.column = 'Y'
or
table.column = 'Y'
Gone is the "X" value because it was overwritten by the prompt. If you protect the top filter, you will get:
table.column = 'X'
or
table.column = 'Y'

  • Using Essbase security filter in OBIEE request ?

    Hello,
    We would like to use OBIEE 11.1.1.6 with Essbase source. We already use Essbase security filter (on dimensions).
    For example, "userA" is allowed to access to Entity A and not Entity B and the opposite for "userB".
    If I loggin as "userA" in OBIEE, is it possible for OBIEE to connect to Essbase with "userA" so that Essbase return data only on Entity A and not Entity B ?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    The way let OBIEE users, have Essbase security filters running for them, is by integrating OBIEE and EPM using Single Sign On. When, both OBIEE and EPM talk to the same Identity Store like OID/MSAD, you can set this up. For more integration steps, refer to http://www.google.com.sg/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CDAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com%2Ftechnetwork%2Fmiddleware%2Fbi-foundation%2Fhfm-sso-obiee-1112x-1835570.pdf&ei=O7ElUeCTApGzrAeelIHwCw&usg=AFQjCNE1BzMQU6Cwny-0IwcvxkfxeqlONg&bvm=bv.42661473,d.bmk

  • What is use of set operators in OBIEE

    Hi Guys,
    Colud you please tell me what is main use of Set Operators (Intersection,Union,Union all)in OBIEE.
    Is it mandatory to use them in reports?
    Pls tell me.
    Regards,
    siva

    Hi,
    What scenario we are using set operators.
    For Eg.
    Col 1 is having values:
    A
    B
    C
    Col 2 is having values:
    1
    2
    3
    I have to create a new column in answers having values
    A
    B
    C
    1
    2
    3
    solution:
    You can use SET operators in OBIEE and it's really easy to set it in answers section. So create one request and then add other similar request to it by using UNION operator.
    or
    we can use case statement also.
    2. Is it mandatory to use them in reports?
    Normal reports not mandatory.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks,

  • Opinion - what's the best protective "skin" for my Macbook Air

    Hi
    need some advice. I bought a Zagg Invisible Shield and started 'installing' in - I only got the bottom done and decided I HATE the fact it makes my Mac feel and look shiny - hardly invisible....
    So - for the time being I am naked except for the bottom shell. I want to protect the rest of my Mac but I don't want it shiny - I love the satin feel of it. I also don't want to put some clunky platsic cover on my Mac that adds millimetres to the size. I bought it because it is sleek, slim and satiny and I want it to remain that way - am I destined to remain forever naked or does someone have some advice on what to use for protection?
    rgds
    Steve

    My cousin has this one on his Air. I was quite impressed with it. Especially the feel, and thin-ness.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/H5114VC/A?fnode=MTY1NDA2Ng
    I am eager to buy one myself, but with a 1-2 month wait, I might not have the current version Air by the time it becomes available.
    This is the one I have now. I like it, but it does add a bit too much dimensionally.

  • Filter on the reports created using DIRECT DATABASE ACCESS in obiee 10g

    How do i filter on the report that is created by using DIRECT DATABASE ACCESS in obiee 10g?
    I have reprot A with link to report B, report B is created using DIRECT DATABASE ACCESS. so it is just a table, but i need to filter out 2 columns.
    here is the query in REPORT B:
    select strm, acad_group, crse_id, class_section, count(emplid) from v_crse_enrl
    group by crse_id, strm, class_section, acad_group;
    the link in REPORT A:
    '<a target="_blank" href="'||VALUEOF("bi_link")||'Go&Path=CF_CROSS_TEACHING_LIST&ACTION=Navigate&col1=STRM&val1='||view1_DIMEN.STRM||'&col2=CLASS_SECTION&val2='||TRIM(view1_DIMEN.CLASS_SECTION)||'">' ||view1_dimen.class_id||'</a>'
    from this link to report B.
    thank you!!

    I didnt tested using url, but the same works with using presentation variables.
    To your direct sql add where clause for those two columns like WHERE col='@{col1}' and col ='@{col2}'
    and try to run from url.
    let me know updates

  • What kind of virus protection should I be using with OSX 5.8?

    All of this virus talk lately has me nervous.  Can someone with some knowledge let me know what I should be using to protect my computer?  Do the regular software updates take care of this or should I have something else I'm using independent of the updates?

    Well, it may be getting some updates such as iTunes, but you are not getting system software updates like Java updates which is what you need for the Flashback threat.
    Antivirus software for Macs is still overrated.  Something like Flashback is probably evolving as fast as the antivirus updaters can update, and frankly I think most of what you hear is hype.  The more hype the antivirus software writers can make, the more they sell.  Macs are still pretty safe and antivirus software on a Mac is really to protect you from passing something from a PC using friend to another PC using friend, but not for something you could get.  Yes, there is the occasional malware threat, but 95% of protection against that is just being smart.  For the other stuff you can take it on a case-by-case basis.  The Flashback issue is the only thing I have seen in about the last 12 years that has actually made me in any way change how I use my Mac.  I have disabled Java in my browsers.  No biggie. Frankly I don't think I use any sites that require Java.
    If you really feel you need AV, check out the free version of Sophos, or ClamXAV, but agin those are really just stopping you from passing on Windows viruses.

  • What kind of virus protection to use for

    wondering what kind of virus protection would be able to use although that the I'Macs has Melware and also what kind of security system would go good with a time capsule?
    thanks
    Richard Descoteaux Jr.

    Regarding the anti-virus software, see my Mac Malware Guide.
    As for the security system for a Time Capsule, what kind of security system are you referring to? If you want your backups to be encrypted, see:
    http://pondini.org/TM/31.html
    If that's not it, you'll need to be more specific.

  • Problem with importing a Motion project into FCP if it uses a Boris filter

    Had an odd and highly frustrating experience. Was using a Boris Continuum filter (the posterizing one) on the background of a Motion project (was using it to age a background of a brick wall to age it and give it a more 'nighttime' look).
    When I imported the file into FCP to use as an intro there, the background disappeared entirely. After an hour of troubleshooting, finally figured out that it was the Boris filter that was causing the problem (it also was probably responsible for the random crashing of FCP I was experiencing), as when I disabled the filter and re-saved the project, it worked beautifully.
    Is this a 'normal' problem when using Boris filters? Do I have to export every Motion project into a Quicktime file before importing it to FCP (and possibly DVDSP) if it uses a Boris filter?

    Thanks! Now the frustrating thing is that the client doesn't want to use what I created after all...bah humbug
    It's not the RAM (which is either 8GB or 16....not sure on that computer). Got an e-mail from Boris Support that implied that this will happen all the time...that you have to export all projects before you use them in FCP or DVDSP or the Continuum filters won't work (loved how the support person suggested that I just use the filter in FCP...which defeats the purpose of creating something in Motion! But I digress...) Told me I had to buy a $500 program called Automatic Duck to get things to import properly...and that Boris filters won't work with the latest upgrade of FCP, btw.

    I have a Mac late 06 with lion and want to know what is the best protection/security to get, Mc Fee, or Norton,or...

    None of the above.
    Norton in particular is anathema.
    You have Apple's Xprotect system built-in. malware definitions are updated at each Security Update.
    If you feel the need for belt & braces, ClamXAV is the (free) tool of choice.
    Your best security is still the stuff between your ears. Don't click on pop-up links telling you need a new codec or (especially) Flash Player. Use your common sense and you'll stay ahead of the industry.

  • Essbase Security filter in OBIEE 11.1.1.6 request

    Hello Experts
    I have got a requirement whereby I need to apply Data Level Securityfor the Essbase sourced cube in OBIEE11g. But the issue is the dimension value where I need to apply security filter has 25K distinct values and is Unbalanced Hierarchy where the leaf members is distributed across differnet level . Actually it is ragged heirarchy in Cube which when imported in OBIEE becomes a Level Based Heirarchy where the leafs becomes shared across differnet level. Now the general OBIEE rule says - Create separate application groups for each lowest level dimension vales and apply security filters for each values respectively for each group and assign users in those groups.
    But the issue is :
    1. Here there are 25 K members in the dimesional value where I need to apply Data Level Security . So it is not possible to create 25K distinct group.
    2. The dimension which needs to be used for Data level security has Ragged Hierarchy where the lowest leaf (which would eb used in security filter) is shared across differnet levels.So there is no single column that I can select in RPD to apply security filter.
    Pls. suggest a solution.
    Is there a way that I can source the Essbase Filters to work as Data Level security in OBIEE 11.1.1.6

    You can upgrade to 11.1.1.7 and use Weblogic to assign security, then EAS to apply filters, and then OBIEE Enterprise Mgr to apply the application roles (i.e. via Essbase Filters). The gotcha is that you need to install OBIEE 11.1.1.7 and include the Essbase component as part of the install.
    If you need more info let me know.

  • Dynamic calc account using an attribute filter

    Hi experts,
    I have an account member as a dynamic calc tagged as two-pass, Its formula is: StoreMember1 / (StoreMember2/StoreMember3->MEMBER_IN_SPARSE_DIM),
    When i'm using an attribute filter that´s linked to one of my sparse dimensions the values of the account is not correct because it´s a percentage and the attribute filter just SUM the percentage of the values.
    What i really need and i don't know if it´s possible, is a way to recalculate my dynamic calc member after the attribute aggregate the value.
    Product1 Tagged as (Atribute XYZ)
    Product2 Tagged as (Atribute XYZ)
    StoreMember1->Product1 = 80
    StoreMember2->Product1 = 100
    StoreMember3->MEMBER_IN_SPARSE_DIM->NA_PRODUCT = 10
    80 / (100/10) = 8
    Dynamic_%->Product1 = 8% (Correct)
    StoreMember1->Product2 = 80
    StoreMember2->Product2 = 100
    StoreMember3->MEMBER_IN_SPARSE_DIM->NA_PRODUCT = 10
    80 / (100/10) = 8
    Dynamic_%->Product2 = 8% (Correct)
    StoreMember1->(Atribute XYZ) = 160
    StoreMember2->(Atribute XYZ) = 200
    StoreMember3->MEMBER_IN_SPARSE_DIM->NA_PRODUCT = 10
    160 / (200/10) = 8
    But in My calc
    Dynamic_%->(Atribute XYZ) = 16%  (But i need 8%)
    I'm using Plannig\Essbase 11.1.2
    Thank you in advance for your help

    The numbers are just to illustrate what is happening, my real numbers are others, there are about thousands products more.
    StoreMember2->(Atribute XYZ) = 200 it´s probably ok
    Because is the sum of the Product1 Tagged as (Atribute XYZ) = 100 + Product2 Tagged as (Atribute XYZ) = 100
    What´s happened is that when i look in XYZ attribute its simply sum after my dynamic calc
    StoreMember1->Product1 = 80
    StoreMember1->Product2 = 80
    StoreMember1->(Atribute Filter XYZ) = 160 (Ok)
    StoreMember2->Product1 = 100
    StoreMember2->Product2 = 100
    StoreMember2->(Atribute Filter XYZ) = 200 (OK)
    StoreMember3->MEMBER_IN_SPARSE_DIM->NA_PRODUCT = 10 (OK)
    160 / (200/10) = 8
    DynamicCalc% = 16 (wrong probably the attribute is a dynamic dimension that sum after dynamic calc Member)

  • No Results when Filter -  Essbase OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1

    Hi,
    We have created a repository using Oracle Business Intelligence 10.1.3.4.1 and Essbase 11.1.1.
    The cube contains 5 dimensions.
    When we create a Chart using Answers and filter the results (not shown in the columns) we do not get the results as it gives following No records found.
    No Results
    The specified criteria didn't result in any data. This is often caused by applying filters that are too restrictive or that contain incorrect values. Please check your Request Filters and try again. The filters currently being applied are shown below.
    But If we change the criteria to show the filtered columns it shows the results in Table view and Chart.
    *With Column = 3 Records
    SELECT "Year"."Gen2,Year" saw_0, Product."Gen2,Product" saw_1, Deposit.Balance saw_2 FROM "Deposit#1" WHERE "Year"."Gen2,Year" = '2009' ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1
    *WithOut = No Recors
    SELECT Product."Gen2,Product" saw_0, Deposit.Balance saw_1 FROM "Deposit#1" WHERE "Year"."Gen2,Year" = '2009' ORDER BY saw_0
    Any Reason for this matter? Since we used the same Cube on older version of OBIEE, it was working fine.
    Regards,
    Nilaksha.

    It's one of the weird behaviours you face from time to time when using OBIEE and Essbase. Filtered columns need to be present in the request in order for the analysis to stop showing "No Results".
    I haven't found any workaround yet and there's nothing to be seen in the change/enhancement requests existing on MOS right now.
    Cheers,
    C.
