Automatic Objective and KPI Creation from a table - OSSM

Question

Dear all

Is there some sort of script i can ran to create a KPI, and its respective value and target instead of creating one by one where you enter the description, then actual value and then the target?

I already have these details in a table

I am using OBIEE 12c

Regards,

Gibson

Hello Gianni,

Do you have any links to the OBIEE API documentation, with this specific kind of operation or perhaps with a list of operations we can do?

Nothing special dedicated to OSSM.

You have webservices in OBIEE allowing you to interact with the catalog and edit/delete/create things, so that would be your way to go if you really want to do it.

More in general I wouldn't bet too much on OSSM: after it's first release it kind of stopped evolving, nothing really new as been added over time and I even heard around it was kind of dead: no further development on it and maybe even removed from OBIEE (not sure if it's available in OAC for example).

If you use standard OBIEE analysis of course you could do all the reports you need directly on your table, and with some D3js visualizations you could even reproduce the few visuals of OSSM you maybe look for.
