The physical tables can be 1, 2, 10 or how many you want. It's up to you to decide how to model them, to give them a role. Of course if you have data problems (missing way of connecting things) even modelling isn't going to help you. But otherwise it doesn't matter if it's the same table or not, as long as you have enough…

Model your table in the RPD as having 2 sources, one targeting the first column and one targeting the second column. The tool will do the job of doing the 2 queries and joining the results together.

First build solid foundations before to add extra floors on top? 100%! But I don't know why when I see DV I can't stop thinking at this...

Another proof that DV is not a replacement for "Classics" and it's time to stop forcing using DV just because it's the only piece being developed (trying to catch up with 15+ years of "Classics" doing the job perfectly).

when I select Jul-21 in drop down of dashboard prompt, then Period Number 6 should be returned to my analysis for further calculations in the criteria. That's a business rule you should cover in your model somehow. The tool is smart but doesn't do any magic. How is it supposed to know that July 2021 means period number 6?…

Sure, add a calculation. It is only inside the workbook and doesn't need a dataflow, and let you do a bunch of things, including pointless things like this example of a sum of 2 numbers coming from some attributes.

Classic can be embedded just like content of OBIEE has been embedded in the past 10 years. Security is of course always something you have to deal with and worse case you will see the login screen first. The DV way is totally different and things have been developed around to make it embeddable, while classic is more a DIY…

@davidkhala-Oracle when you did check the logs, didn't you find messages like the following? [VALIDATION] [ERROR]:Password contains invalid characters [VALIDATION] [SUGGESTION]:Ensure password contains only alphanumeric, underscore (_), dollar ($) or pound (#) characters configuration Failed. Exiting configuration due to…

Can you report it as a bug? Technically the database accept '-' in a password, but it must be quoted. This makes me say that it's a limitation in the application and a design choice to use unquoted passwords, excluding '-' and a number of other special characters. Because of that, I do expect the application to check if…

Sadly I don't have one because I don't have a CSI allowing me to open SRs for on-premises products, I only have a few for cloud products (but I can't really report a RCU bug for OAC as it will not be accepted). I did send all the details directly to a PM (@Alan Lee - Oracle-Oracle ) in March 2022 who passed it to the team…

Just a last comment: if your database has compressed tablespaces and the RCU try to create the schemas on those, it will fail. There isn't an error saying it's because of compressed tablespaces but it just fail to create some objects in the BIPLATFORM schema and therefore rollback everything else. I did report the bug…

The RCU is located in ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/bin/rcu , you can find details on how it does work by command line in the OBIEE 12.2.1.4 doc (as the RCU didn't change much, it's only the content of the schemas that evolved):…

True, in a full install with a separate execution of the RCU. That's the process to follow if you don't have a SYSDBA account. The issue is that the marketplace image does use the implicit call for the RCU creation when calling config.sh, that's also why it doesn't show much details of what the RCU is doing and really…

If the compute instance has not been killed, connect via SSH and run the RCU by hand to find out what is the issue with the info you are providing. You say that you confirmed everything is correct but still the tool doesn't like it, therefore something isn't as correct as somebody/something think it is... Are you using an…

I didn't try the use case you described, but because your actions aren't referencing any column in an hardcoded way but just sending the context of the click to the target, the action links should work even when there is no value to send (action links generally send columns' values on their left, but no column available…

@Indra Sardana-Oracle You probably wrongly clicked on the "best answer", because your reply to Wayne saying you will give it a try isn't the best answer. And you confirmed at the end that Wayne suggestion is what let you solve your requirement. Please mark Wayne's answer as "best answer" to correctly help other users…

What Wayne said, use variables and headers can reference them. I wouldn't use session variables because they are defined for every single user, while in your case your dates are the same values for everybody.

Starting from the beginning: does your analysis link something? Because the behavior of the tool didn't change in about 15+ years. Linked objects uses full paths from the catalog root and when you move an object, there dependent (linked) objects don't come with it automatically if you don't move them as well.

Are the action links "Navigate to BI Content" or "Navigate to a Web Page" ? Because both can be used to open an analysis (or you really mean a report as in BIP report?) (Trying to get a full picture of your current use case)

You have an analysis (a report is a BIP report) and when you say the action links do not work, what do you exactly mean? What are the actions expected? Do the actions happen but with wrong values? Do the actions not happen at all? Do the actions reference in any possible way values from the columns behind the columns…
