Write back options

Hi all,
My client have a requirement where the user wants to see a rating report and wants to write back the reasons for the rating back in to the data provider using a front end application.
The scenario is like this. My client has vendors for which they want to assign rating.
The total rate they can assign is 100. Now suppose that they assign rating as 80.
Now they want to assign the reason for which rating was reduced by 20.
So in the front end application they should be able to enter reason code and percentage value aginst the vendor
In the above example
vendor name, reason1, 15
vendor name, reason2, 5
Now the above data should go to a data target and the user shuld be able to see the report in real time.
Can any one suggest possible ways of doing it? What are the pros and cons of each option.
Regards,
Amith

Write back option with calculated column

Hi,
We are trying to use write back option to update some records in our database. We've followed the steps of this blog http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/09/20/oracle-bi-ee-101332-write-back-option-budgetingplanning/ and we got it running without problems.
The thing is that we particulary need is to store values that arent a "direct" user input. We are calculating the column through a formula and enabling it for write back, but if there's no interaction with that edit field, changes are not commited to database.
As we read in Presentation Services Administration Guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/b31766.pdf) at page 91
+"If the user *types a value in an editable field* and clicks the write back button, then the++
+application reads the write back template to get the appropriate insert or update SQL command".+
So our question is ¿is it strictly necessary user interaction (in terms of typing values in the write back field) to commit changes to database?. ¿Is there any way without user typing of storing values from BI to db?
We think user typing is mandatory but we have to be completely sure about this because we have to provide a serious and right answer to our customer.
Thank you very much in advance for any help provided.
Regards

There has to be a user interaction - i.e. typing something. You can't just update the DB with some value you calculate.
Cheers,

Can we enable write back option , for excel as source?

Hi All,
Is it possible to updated an excel using write back , if so please help me how do i need to proceed with.
Regards,
Som

Assume that you have an excel workbook with one sheet called for instance "MySheet" that you want to insert/update on one column called "MyValue".
If you want to insert then the sql is :
INSERT INTO [MySheet$] (MyValue) VALUES (@{c0})but you can't DELETE or UPDATE. See this microsoft article :
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/Q178/7/17.ASP&NoWebContent=1

The "apply" button didn't display when I was using the "write back" option

I followed the "System Administrator's Guide" to configure the write back function, unfortunately,
the "apply" button didn't display. Is there anyone can give some advice? Thanks!

Just to check, did yiou restart the presentation services after placing the xml file?
Is the template name in answers "SetKPIValue" consistent with the .xml file as you mentioned?
Now, if you could try by putting a hard coded value in the update statement as well.
Also, is the location where the .xml file is kept is,
ORACLE_INSTANCE/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obipsn/analyticsRes/customMessages
P.S. Numeric columns must contain numbers only. They should not contain any data formatting characters such as dollar signs ($), pound signs or hash signs (#), percent signs (%), and so on. [Oracle Admin Guide]

Write Back in 11G

Hi,
How to implement write back option in 11G.
Regards
sathya

Hi,
Please check the below steps and refer the below links.
http://satyaobieesolutions.blogspot.in/2012/06/obiee-10g11g-writeback-capabilities.html
http://satyaobieesolutions.blogspot.in/2012/06/excel-data-source-writeback-in-obiee.html
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

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.

Write Back in MUDE

Hi All,
When I'm using WriteBack and if 2 users inserted a record each at same time, what will happen?
Can anybody suggest on this?

Hello Sriram,
In the write back XML, you can give explicit commit, which does not depend on database commit time.
So, as soon as you enter, it will commit, and when others try there will not be lock on the table. unless there is lock, i feel there will not be issues using writeback.
if you wish to try, do a insert from sql developer or toad and don't issue commit, and try using write back option to enter data from BI... until you do commit/rollback in the sql developer or toad your will not see update successful message in BI.
use this tag in the XML <postUpdate>COMMIT</postUpdate>
Regards,
KN

Write Back Capability in Essbase

Dear All,
I read some where BSO has a direct write-back capability which is not possible in ASO, correct me if i'm wrong. Now my doubt is What is write back capability.

'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

Write-back to Peoplesoft Experiences

Hi. I've got a rather general question: I'm looking for anyone's actual experiences or opinions with regards to write-back to Peoplesoft using Planning/FDM.
Edited by: jomuelle on Mar 30, 2011 12:44 PM

Thank-you for your responses. We are developing options and we want to assess the risks and issues in each option. So we’d like to know if the features work well, what versions are stable, did they perform well etc. So it’s more like general experiences than specific questions.
The specific requirement is to write back budget. We don’t need to generate journal entries. As we are considering different options and we want to get a feel for an FDM (and/or ERPi) approach vs other options. In particular we’d like to know what versions worked. Whether it worked well, how did it perform. It’s due diligence to make sure we have gathered all the background info we can.
