Write OBIEE report results in database table
Hi everyone,
I need to implement a process that executes an OBIEE report and writes the result rows to a database table.
How can this be done?
Thanks,
Alex
You can do it with delivers/scheduler and a script.
Delviers give the content to the script and you can do what with it.

Questions on OBIEE reporting against transactional Database
Hello guys
I have a situation where I have to bring in 5 tables from transactional database to do reporting on.. I looked at the tables, there are not typically dimension or fact tables. Each table contains information very specifically, at the same time all tables have numeric values that needed to be aggregated at the lowest level of that table..
I can join all these 5 tables together knowing the key columns. However, this is basically joining 5 tables with fact measures... Since this is transactional database which we don't own, so I can't create views nor changing the table structures..
I wonder how would I be able to configure such model in OBIEE?
Any thoughts?Thank you for the reply..
The specific situation I have here is:
I have 4 tables that I am polling directly from the4 store's cash register (Oh yea, real real time), they are customer, receipt line, receipt header, inventory,
The physical join is: they are customer-----> receipt line<-----receipt header <------------inventory...
In the BMM layer, each of these 4 tables have columns that should be measures, such as customer.customer credit limit, receipt line. quantity, receipt header. reciept tendered, inventory.quantity on hand... They are more measure columns from each table, but I am just listing one from each..
In this case if i set the aggregation rule on each column, then the BMM model won't a star schema anymore because every table can be fact..
I thought about adding all the measure columns into 1 logical fact table, which then the logical fact will have 4 LTS: customer, Re Line, Re Header, Inv.. This will be fine if I am only dealing with 1 store... However, in reality there will be 50 stores with the same exact tables/structures but on different servesr. Therefore, the logical fact will end up with 4*50 = 200 LTS each has fragmentation defined "store number = NYC or something else"..
Just wondering if combining all the measures in one logical table is the only way to model this design or not? What would be the best thing to do if in this situation I have to report against multiple data source of the same tables in 1 subject area?
Please let me know your thoughts..
Thank you -
Trigger a Report after a Database table is loaded
Hello,
Does anyone know a good way to trigger a Webi report to run or not run based on if the data is loaded in to the dirving table? I need to stop a report from running if the data in the table loads late, but not sure the best way to make this work.
Thanks,
TammyIf your database can write a file to a specific location, you could make it trigger the creation of an event on your Webi server. You can then use this as an event to wait for in your scheduling parameters under events.

Use Formule on FORM with REPORT - result stored at table
Hi all,
What is the best solution for?
I have region with FORM WITH REPORT on the same PAGE.
Values stored at table INFO with column ID, MYDATE, TIME_START_HOUR, TIME_START_MIN, TIME_END_HOUR, TIME_END_MIN, SUM1, SUM2
ITEMS on the form:
P1_ID (hidden)
P1_MYDATE (date picker)
P1_TIME_START_HOUR (select list)
P1_TIME_START_MIN (select list)
P1_TIME_END_HOUR (select list)
P1_TIME_END_MIN (select list)
P1_SUM1 (hidden)
P1_SUM2 (hidden)
After user fill in MYDATE, TIME_START_HOUR, TIME_START_MIN, TIME_END_HOUR, TIME_END_MIN then I need proces for calculation SUM1 en SUM2. Result stored (one record) at table INFO.
Report shows all columns. User had possibility to update the record
Formule:
Select
(CASE
when to_char(mydate,'DY','nls_date_language=dutch') in ('ZA','ZO')
THEN substr(to_timestamp (mydate||':'||TIME_END_HOUR||':'||TIME_END_MIN ||':00','DD-MM-YY:HH24:MI:SS') -
to_timestamp (mydate||':'||TIME_START_HOUR||':'||TIME_START_MIN ||':00','DD-MM-YY:HH24:MI:SS') -
(interval '00 00:00:00' day to second)
,12,5)
ELSE '08:00'
END) SUM1,
(CASE
when to_char(mydate,'DY','nls_date_language=dutch') in ('ZA','ZO')
THEN substr(to_timestamp (mydate||':'||TIME_END_HOUR||':'||TIME_END_MIN ||':00','DD-MM-YY:HH24:MI:SS') -
to_timestamp (mydate||':'||TIME_START_HOUR||':'||TIME_START_MIN ||':00','DD-MM-YY:HH24:MI:SS') -
(interval '00 04:00:00' day to second)
,12,5)
ELSE '04:00'
END) SUM2
FROM INFO
where id=:ID
What is the best way for the calculation: computation or processes or etc? The calculation after or before user push button(New:create button of Update:Apply Changes)?
How to fill the answer (SUM1 and SUM2) at table INFO?

No data in Portal Database tables for Activity Report
Hi experts,
I've developed an Activity Report application in SAP Portal 7.0, which went live but the report shows no data.
We are pulling data from 2 portal database tables: WCR_WEBCONTENTSTAT and WCR_USERPAGEUSAGE
In non production environment there is data in the report but there is no data in the production environment.
The Activity Report service is already activated/started and set to true.
What could have caused this? And what should we check now?
What other configurations/setup should be done?
Regards,
GregHi Greg,
Those are the aggregated tables. If they are not filled with data although the Portal Activity Report is activated, you should check whether the aggregation finished successfully.
In the older SPs there were some problems that were fixed in later SPs of 7.0.
In order to have the latest version of Portal Activity report, you can check SAP note 1084379 - Portal Activity Report - Latest Version (SDA file).
You can compare the SP via the MANIFAST file, as it contains the version and SP number.
In order to troubleshoot problems in Activity Report, you can follow SAP note: 1690023 - Portal Activity Report - Component-specific Note
Some basic checks that you can do:
Run query on the raw data tables to check since when there is data in those tables:
select min(timestamphour) from SAP<SystemID>DB.WCR_WEBCNODESTAT;
If there is too much data from long time ago, then you should delete the old data, and leave only the new data (there is anyways retention time for the data to be kept).
If there is no data, then it means that the Portal Activity Report does not collect data, and not really activated (usually this is not the case).
The aggregation runs every top of the hour, so you can check in the default traces for an error during that time.
In most of the cases something went wrong while aggregating the data.
As a result the aggregation is not finished, so the transaction is not being committed, and the aggregated tables stay empty.
If there is a DuplicateKeyException in the trace, you can follow SAP note 1054145 - Duplicate Key Exception.
If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
I hope this information helps,
Thanks & regards,

I have a column where I have implemented writeback, its working fine. On top of this I need to show 0 as No and 1 as yes in our report, that is also done. Now I want to enter Yes in a column where it was no and I want database table to get update with 1. I am not sure how to do it. SOmeone please help me out.
Hi ,
In your write back XML try the below query insert
INSERT INTO TABLE_XYZ (attribute1) values (SELECT CASE WHEN @{C1}=’Yes’ then 1 when @{C1}=’No’ then 0 else null end from dual)

How to increas the width of the Table in OBIEE Report
Hi ,
I am creating a OBIEE report, the report has table and 30 column in it. When I am viewing the report in an excel file , its appearing good but the width of the table is so small if I am viewing the same in internet explorer/PDF .I dont know how to increase the width of the table. Could you please sort this issue out.
Thanks
Govindan P- you can increase the width of a column -> column format values -> Additional Formatting Options
increase the width:
- Report level:
result tab -> Click on Format container of Table -> Additional Formatting Options
u can assign value width : 500 height:.....
- dashboard level:
Edit options -> section -> Format section -> Additional Formatting Options
here also u can change the width
u can assign value width : 500 height:.....
pls mark it helps....

Scheduling Report output to a Database Table
Hi,
Scenario:
I have a RPT - loaded on the BO server (BO XI R2) - (which uses a stored procedure and a formula to populate the report) which generates the data in a tabular format.
Requirement:
I would like to insert the resultant rows generated in the report to a database.
Is there a possibility to schedule a report output to a database table?It seems that what you want to do is some kind of ETL, you should consider a right tool for doing this. For example, BusinessObjects Data Integrator. By BODI, you can directly transform the source data to what you need to the destination.
If you still need the report for presentation, rather than purely using it as a transformation tool, I suggest you do this. Implement a Java program (.NET is also possible) to implement the Program interface, so that you Java program can be added to BusinessObjects Enterprise as a program object. In this Java program, what you do is: first, schedule the report, and then open the report, read the row sets and insert them to the destination table. This process involves the Business Objects Enterprise SDK and the Report Application Server SDK.
Finally, you can in turn schedule this program objects, so that it will periodically run the report and output to the destination table. -
Crystal Reports Web Elements - database write back question
Hi,
I have a question about Web Elements. In description of them on SAP site it says they can provide "write-backs to the database". This is something I would really like to see. I have a scenario:
User sees a long report and sometimes she needs to add a quick note that should be saved into the database. That note can be entered into WETextArea I suppose and WESubmit button click can be an event trigger for such a write back.
I would like to see example of such functionality on Crystal Report rpt file.
Please advise if anybody knows, I would highly appreciate your assistance.
Regards, Grettirhello,
webelements can be used for the interface to database writebacks...they don't do the writebacks themselves but create the interface to make it easier for an end user to add annotations etc...these values are then passed to a second report or a subreport. using the default prompting interface makes this quite difficult.
here's where the database writebacks are done...since version 9 of crystal reports there have been command objects. command objects have the ability to use any database syntax that is compliant with the database connection. i.e. if the syntax can go through the odbc layer then you can do this in a command in crystal reports.
commands will honour database securities so you don't have to worry about someone dropping a table if rights have been properly assigned. a word of caution there to ensure that database rights have been done properly as you don't want all end users to have the ability to write a report that can do database updates.
commands are also database specific so you would have to check your database online help to see what syntax would be appropriate.
the workflow would be to have 2 reports, one that had the webelements user interface and one that did the writeback. this user interface report would have the text object and submit button and using open document syntax, the values would be passed to the 2nd report that had the command object. the command object would have a prompt that would take the values from the open document url and then use the values in the write back.
for example,
1) the user interface report has one text object called "t1" and one submit button.
2) the target command object report has a prompt called "t1".
3) the target report command object has syntax like
INSERT INTO yourtestable
VALUES ('{?t1}')
SELECT 1
4) yourtesttable in this case has only one text field
5) the "SELECT 1" at the end of the command ensures that a dummy value is returned after running the update...to avoid a database error
6) this syntax would be for sql server
this is of course a very simplified example.
if you are at tech ed phoenix, please drop by the business objects test drive area & i will be there. i can show you a bunch of different webelements examples and write back reports etc. until you become quite bored
i hope that this helps,
