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

Help on write back feature

Hi All,
I am working in Siebel Analytics 7.8.2.
I have tried enabling write back feature in my application but I am not able to do so. The write back tab is enabled in the physical layer of repository. I have created a write back template. But the “Manage write back” option is not available in the Admin page. Could anyone please let me know whether any special license and configuration setting are required to enable write back in 7.8.2. ?
Also please let me know the requirements and timeline to upgrade from SA 7.8.2 to 7.8.4. What are all the general factors (infrastructure change, additional components, configuration changes, etc) affecting the up gradation?
Thanks.

Hello Everyone,

Thanks in advance.

Try these
1. Remove the COMMIT from the SQL statement.
2. Leave the insert statement blank with a space for example:.
<insert> </insert>

DATA Write back feature

The Write back feature working on oracle 10.2
but not working on
ORACLE 9.2.0.5 With patchset 10.1.0.3 and patchset 9.2.0.6
even when i click submit button the grid shows old values
will it work on this version. Pls. confirm?

10.1.0.3 database required additional OLAP patches over and above the basic 10.1.0.3 patch/upgrade process. This patchset was never release publicly and was only available to a few customers who requested it. It contained a number of issues and was replaced by 10.1.0.4 patchset.
I would recommend you apply the 10.1.0.4 patchset as the BI Beans documentation clearly states WE DO NOT SUPPORT 10.1.0.3 DATABASE VERSION. YOU MUST USE 10.1.0.4 FOR 10gR1
Hope this helps,
Keith

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.
Edited by: OBIEE.vn on Jan 6, 2011 7:54 PM

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.
Cheers,

Need document on how to create write back template for 11g

Can anybody provide documentation on how to create write back template for OBIEE 11g?
Thanks

Can anybody provide documentation on how to create write back template for OBIEE 11g?Yes! Oracle does. How about you start by reading it? I will give a hint, it's on the System's Administration guide.

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/obiee-10g11g-writeback-capabilities.html
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
Thanks

What is Rollback,write back features in essbase

please give me some note on this
thanks
Edited by: user618742 on Feb 3, 2009 4:24 AM

'Write-back' refers to the ability of end-users to send values directly to the cube from a combined read / write interface such as the Essbase Excel Add-In, Smart View, Dodeca, Planning etc. A user can look at a value retrieved from the cube, decide for whatever reason that he or she wishes to change it, enter a new value and 'write it back'.
This is in contrast to data loaded (usually as part of a batch process) from an external system.
ASO is one of the two data storage mechanisms available in Essbase - it stands for 'Aggregate Storage Option'. As John said, write back to ASO cubes is only possible at 'level zero', and this feature was not introduced until version 9.3.1. If you aren't clear what 'level zero' means, I suggest reading this section of the Database Administrator's Guide: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_dbag/frameset.htm?dinconc.html

Implementing Write back feature with a drop down

HI,
I have a requirement where in while implementing writeback a user has to see a dropdown kind of a column where he can select some static codes embedded in that column and select a sngle code , all other fileds are simple edit boxes. i have tried using java script in data format view but it doesnt help. can anybody suggest something to achieve this functioanlity.

Hi Ashu, although I agree with Christian, did you found a solutions for this?
Normally, when I am on a oracle database I would use APEX for this. But I am on a sql server database now, so I am looking for something like this as well...
but again, OBIEE is a reporting tool and not a data entry tool...

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.

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?
