Hi All,

I have changed the Subject Area name in the presentation layer in OBIEE from Sales to Sales (Mobile).

Post that change whenever I make a report in Analytics I see the error message: Subject Area named Sales

I request you to let me know if there is any fix to it.

Thanks,

Karthi

Yes, either rename it back or on every report that accesses it go to the advanced area and find and replace the presentation area name in the XML - or do the equivalent by hacking the catalogue - note hack is the appropriate term - better not to rename live subject areas!  - and do back up everything before attempting said hack

Don't you have an alias after the renaming? If you have an alias it must work as usual and would be worth some further investigation ...

Which version of OBIEE?

Karthi_obiee

Yes, I have the alias name. Even then the reports build with the old subject area are throwing this error when I edit them. There is no issue in running them though.

And the reports which are built after the change in the subject area also throws the error some times when I edit them.

Is this what you are referring to hacking the "catalogue"?
