XML in OBIEE

Hi,
I have a problem with formats when i put two criterias in union. I would like to put different formats in columns. In this post i sent XML code which has two parts. First is for declaration of columns and the second is XML for UNION which stand in <saw:from> element.
<saw:from> element has XML code for both criteria. I would like to format column "PELE#1"."Measures" as percentage and other columne KolonaB from criteria-two have to stay numeric.
Please help

Thank for your reply Devarasu,
I know where the instanceconfig.xml path location but what i am going to do is to register instanceconfig.xml like what i did in OBIEE10G using below command
sawserver.exe -c D:\Middleware\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\instanceconfig.xml.
I run this command but still didn't work. How can i register this instanceconfig.xml. Any thought?
Thanks

Admin Tool can not create any new database or model [nqserror 46131]

Hi everyone!
I can not create anything new in each layer on the admin tool. It marks unknown error.
When I try to import metadata it send the message: [nqserror 46131] unresolved hostname, everything in online mode. I can modify everything offline, then replace the rpd and I can create reports in Answers. But I need to do all of these online mode.
Everything else works well (Answers, Dashboards, Publisher). The server name is correctly put in the instanceconfig.xml.
OBIEE Version: 11.1.1.6.0 (upgrade recently from 11.1.1.5). The scheduler does not start since migration.
Server OS: Red hat enterprise edition

XML datasource in OBIEE

We are trying to setup a dashboard to show data from some webservice. The webservice returns data in xml format which does not meet the requirements of the obiee xml gateway component. So we created a cgi app that preprocesses the xml file returned by the webservice before import it into the physical model obiee. The cgi app looks like this http://someserver/test.cgi.
The cgi app returns the data in a html page which contains serveral xml islands (<XML id="123">...</XML>). The Admin Tool is able to import the physical layer schema from it and create one table for each xml island found in the result. It appears to me that we don't have control over the names of the table generated and they are default to the name of the cgi page plus some index number, in this case, the tables names are "test_0", "test_1", etc. Any change to the table name will cause the presentation layer widget to report errors like "couldn't find table <sometablename> in http://someserver/test.cgi loaded".
We can settle with default table name generated. But we need to be able to pass some parameters to the cgi app to generated data dynamically which obiee seems to have problem. Whenever we use a url like "http://someserver/test.cgi?target=data" to import the schema (the data returned by this url is exactly the same as the previous url without the target param), the Admin Tool will report something like "Some objects are not imported because of Invalid names".
I saw from the obiee documentation that the xml gateway adapter supports dynamic xml/html generated from a url which can have parameters containing even session or repository variables. But I even couldn't get it to work with a constant parameter. Can someone tell me what I have been doing wrong? Or pointing me to some examples that take dynamically generated xml data as data source?
BTW, we have obiee server running on a linux rehl5 server and we use the admin tool from a windows machine to manage all the metadata.
Thanks.

You can't use XML data sources for Init Blocks, it's not supported. I wish it was because I had a need for this the other day.

How to retrieve data from xml file into obiee reports

Hi all,
I've got a situation here. A xml file is stored as blob in oracle database table. Now i need to retrieve data/info from that xml file into obiee reports. How am i supposed to proceed with this ?

I will go for a table function:
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/database/oracle/table_function
In two words, you can create a function that behave as a table. Then you create a function to pick up your xml, you parse it and you send back the rows.
I know that Oracle has also a library for XML files but I never use it until now.
Success

Error in OBIEE Analyses "XML Incompatible"

Hi everybody,
i / we have a problem/error during running some analyses/dashboards in obiee 11.1.1.6.6. In development we have no problems, all runs fine. But in quality section and later on in production this error comes on, even the user is running some dashboards. It doesn't matter, which dashboard/which analyses is running. We imported a new rpd and catalog from development (wheres running) to quality. Nothing changed.
Can u take a look at the cryptical error-message:

I would try to run the Scan and Update Catalog Objects That Require Updates utility from Administration in Analytics. See if that helps at all. If not, compare the XML for a report that's working in DEV with the same report in QA that doesn't work, see if there are any changes.
Good luck!

Adding a XML Data source in Obiee 11g on Linux

Hi guys, I need your help.
I'm creating a new database in the physical layer as XML.
On the connection pool (named xml_source), I’m setting the path to the XML file, inside the datasourse name, with this format: /u01/app/xmltest/
My XML test file is this: xml_test.xml, So in the table information, I’m setting the xml file name as this: xml_test (without the xml extension)
The issue is when I’m trying to issue the SQL, the error message displayed says:
Query Failed: [nQSError: 64023] cannot access /u01/app/xmltest\xml_test.xml: No such file or directory
As you can read in the error message there is a “\” just before the xml file. So in Linux it is not a "\" but a "/", why is obiee setting a wrong path? How can I "tell" obiee that this is a Linux environment not a Windows?
Thank you in advance.

Sorry for my mistake, but I've found a tab called XML in the Physical Table properties. I've set the entire URL to the file and now I'm able to issue sql queries to it. Thanks!

OBIEE Error 'Root XML Node nqw not found in island!'

Hello,
After I altered my Hyperion Essbase structure, my OBIEE Reports don't open.
I increase one generation in my accounts hierachy, and now when I try open my OBIEE reports, I get the follow error:
"Root XML Node nqw not found in island"
Any help?
Thanks,

Hi Naresh,
I hope you have resolved the issue by this time.
In my case, it was related to an invalid filter on the report.
I have removed the filter by updating the report .xml file from Catalog Manager.
Hope this helps other with similar issue.
Thanks,
Ravi

/u01/app/obiee/obiData/scheduler/config/instanceconfig.xml empty

I have OBIEE 10.1.3.4 installed on Redhat 5.2. I configured Scheduler but find the file /u01/app/obiee/obiData/scheduler/config/instanceconfig.xmlis empty. Start the scheduler getting error [nQSError: 67042] The Scheduler Configuration is incorrect.
[nQSError: 46084] Error at file '/u01/app/obiee/obiData/scheduler/config/instanceconfig.xml', line 1, column 1, Message: Invalid document structureHow can I get the instanceconfig.xml for scheduler? It is not mentioned in B31768-01 Scheduler Guide, nor B31765-02 BI INfrastructure Installation and COnfiguration Guide.
Thanks

Thank you for reply. The references you cited are very interesting. My problem is that I have an empty Scheduler configure file
/u01/app/obiee/obiData/scheduler/config/instanceconfig.xml - this file is empty
/u01/app/obiee/obiData/web/config/instanceconfig.xml - I do have this and configured along the line in you first referenceThe scheduler log file says:
[68008] Scheduler Error: [nQSError: 67042] The Scheduler Configuration is incorrect.
[nQSError: 46084] Error at file '/u01/app/obiee/obiData/scheduler/config/instanceconfig.xml', line 1, column 1, Message: Invalid document structureTo me this means BI Scheduler does not happy the empty scheduler configure file.
You mentioned 'the scheduler script' The config file your looking for is right,you need to check for <Alert> tag where the scheduler server entry would be defined after you
run the scheduler script.Does the script creates the scheduler configure file?

Need information about OBIEE report XML

Does Oracle provide document on OBIEE report XML information (such as element , sub element and property for each element)?

Thanks for your reply. It may not be what I want. What I want is to understand the usage and syntax of XML in Advanced tab under OBIEE web analysis. For example, I got error when I tried to use the following "display" twice under one view. Is there any documentation that provide detail information about how to use these elements?
<saw:display type="lineBar" subtype="basic" renderFormat="flash" mode="online">
<saw:style barStyle="default" lineStyle="default" scatterStyle="default" fillStyle="default" bubblePercentSize="100" effect="2d"/></saw:display>

Please help! XML output needed for OBIEE report.

Hi,
I need an xml output of the OBIEE report. I have tried extrating the xml result using GO url but the xml format is not satisfactory. The default output assigns C0,C1..column names to each column data while on the other hand I need the name of the column and not C0 or C1.
Hence, can anyone please suggest as to how can I format the OBIEE xml output internally i.e. without doing it manually.
Please let me know if more explanation is required.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
Thanks for the response but unfortunately Bi Publisher is even not giving the required output.
The output of Bi Publisher is like
<_170627_>170627</_170627_>
<_TRADES_._TRADE_ID_>2996</_TRADES_._TRADE_ID_>
<_FALSE_>FALSE</_FALSE_>
<_N_>N</_N_>
<_170627_>170627</_170627_>
<_R_>R</_R_>
and the output of OBIEE is
<C0>170627</C0>
<C1>2996</C1>
<C2>FALSE</C2>
<C3>N</C3>
<C4>170627</C4>
<C5>R</C5>
<C8>B</C8>
In both the cases I get leading and trailing tags which are not required. Ideally according to the requirement C0 should have been Trade ID, C2 - Cancellation option and so on.
The BI Publisher does give the output to some ectent but lans up capturing the table name also as u see it is Trades.Trades Id. I even reuire few extra tags which caary report information and this data is not being pulled from database.
Hence please help!! I am really very much confused!!
Thanks!!!

Generate xml of a rpd created by OBIEE Administration 11

I'm using this command "nqUDMLgen.exe -U Administrator -P Admin123 -R <location_to_rpd> -O <location_to_xml> -8" to generate xml for a rpd created by OBIEE Administration tool version 11. The error I get is "The repository <location_to_rpd> cannot be opened". But this works perfectly for a rpd created by version 10. I doubt in the username because the tools doesn't show the default username like that of version 10. What am I doing wrong?

This works for me
nqudmlgen.exe -P Admin123 -R C:\App11g\instances\instance3\bifoundation\OracleBIServerComponent\coreapplication_obis1\repository\SampleAppLite_BI0001.rpd -O one1.udml -8
