Write back 11g issue

hi experts,
I´m trying the write back fucntionality in obiee 11g and i am getting some troubles while updating a record.
In the write back template I call a DB procedure that updates a column
<insert> </insert>
<update> begin pr_update(@1); end </update>
but unfortunaly the column is always updated with its current value and not the value I've just entered for the update.
it's like if The presentation server is not sending the new value to the DB but the old one.
any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Cristian,
You must use '' at script when call some column value. (use '@1' instead of @1)
Tip.. note you can use your "WebMessage Name" (from your script, like "filling", "machine_filing") into your analisys.
Hope this help

Write Back Error OBIEE 11g

I am facing the following error massege in writeback funtionality.
I checked the value ,connection pool,writable,read/write permissions but not resolved the issue.
"An error occurred while writing to the server. Please check to make sure you have entered appropriate values. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator."
Any help about that ?

Hi,
http://satyaobieesolutions.blogspot.in/2013/03/write-back.html -- recheck your configuration following this link step by step with screen shots.

http://satyaobieesolutions.blogspot.in/2012/06/excel-data-source-writeback-in-obiee.html Note : The Problem Occurred two ways,
1. Problem your XMl Script
2. If null value not present in your columns in your table in database.The ; problem has occured.
please check below steps.
1. Are you using OCI or ODBC in your connection pool? Try it with OCI Call Interface 11g.
2.Remove the commit tag from the XML file.
<postUpdate>COMMIT</postUpdate>
=============================================================================================================
This xml file working for me.
Insert--
A couple of small adjustments got your XML to work here:
<?xml version="1.0"; encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1";>
<WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
<WebMessage name="WriteBack">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="Connection Pool">
<insert> INSERT INTO FACT (PRICE,PRODUCT_KEY,REGION_KEY,SALE_UNIT,TIMEKEY,SALES_QUOTA)
values (@{c7},@{c8},@{c9},@{c10},@{c11},@{c5} ) </insert>
<update> </update>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
The <writeBack> tag is written with a lower case "w".
The "connetionPool" needs an upper case "P".
Update--
I think that you have to specify also an SQL statement for the update tag, for example:
<?xml version="1.0"; encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1";>
<WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
<WebMessage name="pmet_update">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="PMTCOG">
<insert> select null from dual</insert>
<update> UPDATE XREF_PMET_URL SET URL= '@{c1}' WHERE API='@{c0}'</update>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
The witeback wants for both the tags (<insert></insert> and <update></update>) an SQL Statement.
Hope this help's

Write back in OBIEE 11g : unable to check "enable write back"

Hi all!
I have a table on presentation, i want to make a table in analysis with function "Write back". But in criteria, when i choose "column properties" --> "write back" tab --> i can not check "Enable write back". I have granted privileges "write back" to user
Please tell me how to configure to make it.
Thanks so much.

Guys,
In OBIEE 11g You need to make sure that you mark the logical columns in your Repository RPD as "Writeable". Otherwise the ability to write to these columns is not allowed for WriteBack functionality.

OBIEE 11G Write Back Error

Hi All:
I am testing the OBIEE 11G write back function. After all the steps , there's an Error message said "Write back Error" . No other detail information. Do you have any idea about where's the problem of it?
My xml file was under the folder of 'C:\OBIEE11\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\msgdb'. and the detail is as below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1">
<WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
<WebMessage name="write_back_test">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="Connection Pool">
<insert> </insert> <update>FACT_Writeback set MAX_LY2 = '@{c1}' where PERIOD_KEY = '@{c0}'
</update>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
Really Thanks for your help.
Sunny.Sun

Hi,
I think these is a problem with your connection pool name, please check it. It's a name of connection pool in BI administrator.
if it's not problem, Can you try my way, replace '@{c1}', '@{c0}' by @1, @2...with 1,2 is a number of column in Criteria.
It's my template :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1">
<WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
<WebMessage name="SetQuotaUseID">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="WB_CONN">
<insert> </insert>
<update>UPDATE biee_map_revenue SET DIST_CODE=@5 WHERE REV_ID = @1 </update>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>

11g write-back drop down box

Hi, I have enabled write back in OBIEE 11g dashboard. I would like to know if it is possible to create a drop down box within the write-back enabled column?

I realize this is a very old thread, but I was hoping there was a way to do this.
I would like to enable write-back to an a table we use to track running processes. I would like to be able to update the status to either 'COMPLETE' or 'INCOMPLETE'. The programs can change theses statuses to anything meaningful, but I only want those two values as options for write-back.
Is this even possible?

Write Back feature in 11g environment

Hi,
I am trying to implement write back feature in 11g environment.
i have configured RPD as mentioned below-
in physical layer- non cacheable,
in BMM- enable write back checkbox,
in Presentation layer read/write property for field,
in report i have checked write back box for column.
I have created xml file for the column to be edited.
But i am not able to locate where i need to mention this xml file name.
Please let me know where i need to mention the xml file name and where i need to place the file.

Can you confirm that you have done ALL of the following:
-Make sure you use columnIDs as opposed to column position in the XML template
-Use Schema prefix on the table column
-Ensure WebMessage name on XML template matches the EXACT name in Table View Properties
-Ensure Physical table is non cacheable
-Presentation and Logical layer must have Write enabled for the writeback columns
-If we dont need an INPUT command make sure to have a space between the XML tags
I dont have access to a writeback file currently..if you can paste yours here, maybe we can help.
Also, if the responses are helpful, please mark them as helpful or correct.

Write Back from OBIEE 11g to multiple tables in DB

Hi All,
We have requirement to write-back from OBIEE 11g to multiple tables in DB.
1) Inserting a new row in report. Inserting record into multiple tables through OBIEE?
2) In report we have fields like Region Id, Product Id, Date, Quantity. Region Id, Product Id, Date are dimension fields and Quantity is Fact measure while inserting row in report does OBIEE checks Refrential Integrity Constraint during Write Back on DB.
Let me know if you need more details on this. Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Rajkumar.

Hi,
1) With regard to inserts into multiple tables, try using multiple insert tags (I haven't tried it) but I think it should work.
2) I don't think OBIEE would check referential integrity , but DB would and give you appropriate response.
Let us know how you got on...
Thanks & Regards

OBIEE 11g write back to Essbase and run calc script feature

Hi,
I have a requirement to write back into Essbase Cube and run calc script from OBIEE dashboard.
From what i have search on google, we must deploy additional Java Script into weblogic, but that is before OBIEE 11.1.1.6.
I have 2 question:
- Does OBIEE 11.1.1.6 already supported native write-back to Essbase and running calcscript?
- Anyone has example of the custom java-script for write back and running calcscript?
And another, if there are requirement like this, is it better to install Essbase Add-in on Microsoft Excel and do the what-if analysis there, then just display the report on OBIEE dashboard? (based on user-friendliness and the complexity on maintenance)
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Even I am trying to achieve the same thing as you have mentioned but think that it is not possible to achieve easily in obiee 11.1.1.6, though we do have a work around to perform a writeback in Essbase cube using JAPI as mentioned below.
Also we can call Hyperion reports from OBIEE using Action Links and also pass parameters to the same but dont know if it runs calculation script.
Below link could be useful for you for write back workaround.
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2009/05/25/oracle-bi-ee-10-1-3-4-1-writebacks-to-essbase-using-japi-and-custom-html-part-1/

10g Write back works for some users, not others

Dear Gurus,
I have a strange problem with the Write Back in my system. We use Write-back pretty extensively and have maybe 10-20 separate reports, updating a number of tables.
We have been using this system for almost a year with no problems - Myself (logging in as Administrator) and a member of the Business team, logging in as herself (a member of the Presentation Server Administrator Group).
We now require two more Business power-users to use our Write-back reports. I have added them to the Presentation Server Administrator group. However, when they try to enter values into ANY of the write-back reports, they get the following error;
An error occurred while writing to the server. Please check to make sure you have entered appropriate values. If the problem persists...
*State: HY000. Code 10058 [NQODBC]... A general error has occurred. [nQSERROR 27024] The EXECUTE PHYSICAL statement must specify a physical SQL statement to execute (HY000)*
SQL issued: EXECUTE PHYSICAL CONNECTION POOL "GL Oracle Data Warehouse Connection Pool"
I do not understand why the write back is working without error for my own user, the Admin user and a member of the business team who is in the Presentation Server Administrator group, but not for two new additions to that group.
I have checked that the Presentation Server Admin group is granted on the "Enable/Manage Write Back" privilege and on the Execute SQL privilege.
Any ideas what else I could check?
Thanks,
A.

Hey Amith,
Thanks for your quick reply! Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case. The system is pretty much wide open, apart from the Write pack privilege, which only the Presentation Server Administrator group has access to.
I'm having another of my Presentation Server Administrators who has been in the group forever try to use the write back.
There's no specific connection pool or database level permissions for write back, is there? And there's no specific permissions which need to be set on the xml template files?
Thanks,
A.

The Write-back was working fine and we have done the write back successfully few days back. We have not made any changes in write back set up except some mapping.
Any clue on this issue?

I have already restarted the planning service and checked. But no luck.
