WHERE condition in OBIEE 11g

HI gurus,
How can I use a WHERE condition in obiee 11g in the Column formula or in the BMM layer in the repository .
Thanks in advance
Reg,
Niv

Hi,
In the Column formula, the functions like Case When clause (Category: Expressions) can always be used in the building the expression.
For the above, there is always two options
1. Derived from Physical Mappings - this will list only the physical tables that are pulled into the LTS of the logical table
2. Derived from existing columns using an expression - this will list all the Logical tables in the RPD
If you want to apply the filter i.e where clause on the entire table, then go to Content Tab of the LTS
Enter your WHERE clause filters in the section - Use this "WHERE clause".....
The above modifications will apply where clause on all the columns
Please mark if it is helpful

Convert WHERE condition to OBIEE using available OBIEE function

I have this WHERE condition which has to be attached to a Logical Table Source (Content Tab). This condition exists in my BO Universe and has to be applied to my OBIEE project.
TRUNC(SYSDATE) >= NVL(QP.QP_LIST_LINES.start_date_active, TRUNC(SYSDATE))
AND TRUNC(SYSDATE) < NVL(QP.QP_LIST_LINES.end_date_active,TRUNC(SYSDATE)+1)
Using the functions in OBIEE, I ended up with this WHERE condition but seems not to work because when I compared the results, they are different.
CURRENT_DATE >= IFNULL(ABCDE."Price List Lines"."Item Start Date", CURRENT_DATE ) AND CURRENT_DATE < IFNULL(ABCDE."Price List Lines"."Item End Date", CURRENT_DATE + 1)
Please help me correct this.
Thank you in advance.

Hi, The TIMESTAMPADD function helped. I will take note of this. It's now working but noticed the performance (generating the report) is taking a long time. Would appreciate your advice. Thanks.

Hi,
Create date prompts with operator as = not >= (or) <= as you need to save that value in presentation variable and you are filtering report using those variable filters.

Can I set a conditional format as default in OBIEE 11g?

Hi,
I would like to set all positive number be (green) and negative number be (red) for all tables in Analytics Web (OBIEE 11g). Apart from create conditional format for every tables, is there any way to set once only and apply for all reports?

Hi User,
You can set system wide default by clicking on the button in conditional format tab.
*Make sure user has "Save System-Wide Column Formats" privilege to enable the option.

Where to change the hyperlink of the logo in OBIEE 11g?

Hi all,
The title explains the question. Does anyone know the answer for it?
Thanks in advance.
-Amith.

In OBIEE 11g the Logo in the upper-left corner does not have an AHREF reference or tag.
The only way to change this is to modify the actually header template XML file for the header.
This should be easy enough to find.

Error while using between operator with sql stmts in obiee 11g analytics

can anyone help me out in resolving this issue.

Hi All,
Thank u all for ur replies, but I dint the exact solution for what I'm searching for.
If I use the condition as
"WHERE "Workforce Budget"."Used Budget Amount" BETWEEN MAX("Workforce Budget"."Total Eligible Salaries") AND MAX("Workforce Budget"."Published Worksheet Budget Amount"",
all the data will be grouped with the two columns which I'm considering in the condition.
my actual requirement with this query is to get the required date from a table to generate the report either as daily or weekly or monthly report. If I use repository variables, variables are not getting refreshed until I regenerate the server(which I should not do in my project). Hence I have created a table to hold weekly start and end dates and monthly start and end dates to pass the value to the actual report using between operator.
please could anyone help me on this, my release date is fast approaching.

MINUS Operator in OBIEE 11g

Hi all ,
I have a requirement to use MINUS operator in a column of a report . Since it is available for two separate criteria , Could someone suggest how to perform the same in OBIEE 11g for a column.
the conditions to be implemented in a column are
select count(*) from (
select distinct trx.shipment_header_id
from
F_ERP_PO_RECEIPTS_TRX trx
where   trx.transaction_type = 'RECEIVE'
MINUS
select distinct rec.shipment_header_id
from
where   trx.transaction_type = 'DELIVER').
How can i perform these conditions for a column of a report .
Reg,
Niv D

Hi Niv D,
I guess this can be done as we have union, union all and minus available.
once you select the required subject area say SA for the below query,
select distinct trx.shipment_header_id
from
F_ERP_PO_RECEIPTS_TRX trx
where   trx.transaction_type = 'RECEIVE'
on the right side of the criteria you can see a + symbol with venn diagram. once you click on it, it gives you an option to select the next SA for
select distinct rec.shipment_header_id
from
where   trx.transaction_type = 'DELIVER').
once you selected that, you can see the criteria changes accordingly.
there you change to union or minus.
once you have the conditions for both, make the layout as pivot and apply count on the column. you are there with the result,
I tried earlier with union but not with minus. but this should work.

Invalid subscribers skipped in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have requirement to send reports to non OBIEE users in Obiee 11g, i created the report with email ids and and i configure the delivers, i am able to send the report to obiee users, when i create the agent Delivery Content as Conditional Analysis Recipients as Get Recipients from the Analysis Used in the Agent Condition_ when i run the agent its saying that AgentID: /shared/Common/AGENT_MAIL_21_2
Invalid subscribers skipped: [email protected],
Plz tell me why i am getting this error,i am able to send emails the obiee users, but when i select the Get Recipients from the Analysis Used in the Agent Condition then only i am getting this error.
Thanks & Regards,
Ayubjani Shaik

"AgentID: /shared/Common/AGENT_MAIL_21_2
Invalid subscribers skipped: [email protected]"
Well, is "[email protected]" a valid user of one of your security realms? And this is literally the question: is this email address a valid user id? Or are you just passing an email and thinking it will work whereas the actual uid is something like "ayub"?

How to build a Analysis report in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I have a query regarding 'How to' to build an analysis report in OBIEE 11g.
The data model is a financial data model, where information such as Actual, Plan, Forecast, What - if etc for current AND prior year need to be displayed in a dashboard.
I created two analysis reports one for current year Rep1 and second for prior year Rep2 each with filter criteria as current year and prior year respectively based on years column. and then in the dashboard I created prompt based on scenario column (radio button) for Actual, plan, Forecast, and wht if.
I am able to show the current vs prior year data in the same dashboard for Actual or Plan or forecast or what if (depending on data availability in the database).
I want to achieve the same information in a single analysis report instead of two separate analysis reports. I do not want to create separate physical report for current and prior year data.
I need one analysis report which I can use in dashboard and depending on selection for scenario (actual , plan, forecast or wht if) I want to show the current AND prior year data the way I achieved in with two seperate reports embedded in their respective sections as explained above.
Does any one have idea how to achive this by building single analysis report?
If you need any more clarificaiton or have any queries, please let me know.
Thanks and Regards
Santosh

As per I understand your requirement,
In your Dashboard create a Presentation variable which receives the value of year you select.
Now in your analysis, select the year column along with all the measures you want (Actual, plan, Forecast, and what-if, etc).
Create a filter on Year column and convert it into SQL. Put the condition as:
"Year" BETWEEN @{Presentaion_Variable} - 1 AND @{Presentation_Variable}
You will get the result for selected year and the previous year.
Hope it helps..

OBIEE-11g Double columns question

Hi guys, on my pc i've installed business intelligence suite 11.1.3 and now I need support about double columns feature. In the business model I've this hierarchy
Region -> Province -> Municipality
where the keys for each level are represented by the name of the element, the problem is that this keys are used to map geometric shapes to enable the map views features and the Municipality values are ambiguous in their domain (could exist two municipality with the same name but different province) in the official documentation is wrote that to unique identify a shape should be used a double columns field but when I 'apply the double field feature to the hierarchy levels the drill feature doesn't work properly and I get a strange filter error (seems that the system filter the value by id on the wrong field). Somebody could help me to understand if I can define a hierarchy where the keys have a descriptor id associated ?
Thanks a lot Regards

I 've also come up with the same issue. I am using OBIEE 11G (11.1.1.5.0) and Oracle Mapviewer Ver11_1_1_4_B110225.
On the RPD, My hierarchy is defined as: District -> Quarter -> Neighbourhood.
For each hierarchy level I am using:
District Logical Level keys:
District Id: Primary Key
District Name: Use for Display
Quarter Logical Level Keys:
Quarter Id: Primary Key
Quarter Name: Use for Display
Neighbourhood Logical Level Keys:
Neighbourhood Id: Primary Key
Neighbourhood Name: Use for Display
I need to associate each Mapviewer theme's ID (District ID, Quarter ID, Neighbourhood ID) with a relevant BI column, because the theme names are not distinct.
I have set the double column (Descriptor Id) feature: (District ID, Quarter ID, Neighbourhood ID) on each BI name column (BI Distict Name, BI Quarter Name, BI
Neighbourhood Name) of the business model and associated the layer key (ID) of each Mapviewer theme with the corresponding BI name column.
On the map view, drilling down from District to Quarter works properly, but I get the following action error while drilling down from quarter to neighbourhood:
An error occurred while trying to generate drill down query.
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError:
46036] Internal Assertion: Condition rowValues.size() == numColumns, file server\Query\Src\SQNavigatorAccess.cpp, line 495. (HY000)
SQL Issued: {CALL NQSGenerateDrillDownQuery('SELECT District Name saw_0, Quarter Name saw_1, DESCRIPTOR_IDOF(District Name) saw_2, DESCRIPTOR_IDOF(Quarter Name)
saw_3 FROM "Subject Area" WHERE DESCRIPTOR_IDOF(District) = 5','1','''5'',''31'',31','-1 -1 -1 -1 -1','0,2,3')}
However, if I add a table view on my analysis and click on the table view's quarter link, drilling down works ok both for the table and for the map view.
Moreover, I tried removing the double column (descriptor Id) feature from the business model while maintaining the hierarchy as described above.
I then associated the layer key (ID) of each Mapviewer theme with the corresponding BI ID column instead of the BI name column.
On the map view while drilling down from District to Quarter, a filter to a specific District is applied, but the associated Quarters theme is not displayed.
Finally, if I enable the "Use for Display" checkbox for each hierarchy level's primary key on the RPD, and maintain the association between the layer key (ID) of
each Mapviewer theme with the corresponding BI ID column, drilling down works correctly but only on the ID.
I need drilling down to work while clicking on the each name BI column of the hierarchy while defining the association on the layer key ID of each mapviewer
theme. Is this possible? Any ideas?

OBIEE 11g - Fusion Middle ware control and BI Publisher not launching

Hello
I have successfully installed OBIEE11G but the installation has not been stable. Sometimes I find all three components 1) web logic 2) fusion middle ware control and 3) bi publisher
whereas most of time, only weblogic console is coming up.
When I tried to manually start the fusion middleware deployment it gives following error

Hi,
After complete installation of obiee 11g
step 1 :- start the listener and services manually
step 2 :- Start BI services from all programs/Business intelligence/start bi services.This enables you to start OPMN,Node manager,BI server,Presentation server,BI Publisher server
This is the method i do follow for starting up.If you want to individually start and stop the services go to FM EM console and BI foundation in that capacity management in that screen you can start or stop.The URL's mentioned are correct with their default port numbers.
Hope helps you.
Cheers,

Filter Grouping not working for OBIEE 11g

Hello!
I need some help on the below:
I have built a simple report in OBIEE 11g with FILTER grouping on two dimensions as below:
          Operative Hierachy is equal to Europe, IMEA, APAC, China Focus Country, Americas, US and Canada
     and      Accounts is equal to Net Sales (i), Gross Margin (i), GM% (i)
or
          Accounts is equal to Gross Margin, Net Sales, Gross Margin %
     and      Operative Hierachy is equal to / is in Organizations Total
The report was working as expected; but now suddenly it's showing no results with the error "+The specified criteria didn't result in any data. This is often caused by applying filters and/or selections that are too restrictive or that contain incorrect values.+" - even though data is present ! - I have tested this by splitting it into two reports (with only the AND conditions)- which is then woking as expected.
Points to note:
--There had been no change on the Report, when it stopped showing results.
--I have tested this filter grouping with other dimensions- & they are working fine.
--The OBIEE reports are fetching data from ESSBASE cube.
--Only thing which I can remember when it stopped working is that, there had been a data load on the ESSBASE cube. But other reports using these dimensions are working.
Has anyone faced the same issue before. Please help.

Hi User, Vijay,
Yes I have checked the generated SQL queries and the MDX queries as well. Both queries are generated as expected, but returns no result.
But now I have found out how these two different dimensions are different from my other dimensions. Only these two dimensions have a SORT order logical column defined in the BMM layer- which I think is causing the problem, BI Server not able decide which column to sort. So, the sql gives result when I cimment out one of the SORTKEY
SELECT
0 s_0,
"PSS Essbase"."Accounts"."Accounts" s_1,
"PSS Essbase"."Operative Hierarchy"."Operative Hierachy" s_2,
-- SORTKEY("PSS Essbase"."Accounts"."Accounts") s_3,
SORTKEY("PSS Essbase"."Operative Hierarchy"."Operative Hierachy") s_4,
"PSS Essbase"."Facts"."Measure" s_5
FROM "PSS Essbase"
WHERE
((("Operative Hierarchy"."Operative Hierachy" = 'Europe') AND ("Accounts"."Accounts" = 'Gross Margin'))
OR (("Operative Hierarchy"."Operative Hierachy" = 'Russia Focus Country') AND ("Accounts"."Accounts" = 'Sales ASP')))
ORDER BY 1, 5 ASC NULLS LAST, 4 ASC NULLS LAST
FETCH FIRST 65001 ROWS ONLY
Any views on what happens when we use two dimensions in the same report which have sort columns defined in the repository...
