I'm obviously not the one who gave you that task, but it looks pretty clear to me. "come to the interview with a visualization, infographic or dashboard I like and should be prepared to discuss why I like it." From my point of view you should do the following: 1. Google for dashboards, visualisations, etc. 2. Look at them.…

May I ask what is the purpose of this restriction? From my point of view, calendar control allows choosing of a year and then picking of a date of the month for this particular year. You can extract whatever you want from the selected date. So why would you need a separate year dropdown?

By the way, have you fulfilled other prerequisites from the doc? Like loopback adapter, UAC and so on? Oracle® Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications Have you completely uninstalled remnants of the previous unsuccessful installations (directories, services, maybe running processes)? What is the error…

You get this error because: 1. You use Windows 8.1; 2. Oracle uses too old Jython library which knows nothing about life after Windows 7. You have two possibilities: 1. Use patch @Karthickrajan.K-Oracle mentioned. Please note that its use is not obvious. You install Weblogic, then patch it, then install OBIEE (software…

I corrected the link to Oracle spatial partners in my first message. Now it points to the correct page. Just brows the list, find the partner you like and contact it. Or just Google it.

If you are looking for a free map, take a look at OpenStreetMap. It's a crowdsourcing project of the world map. But some areas may miss or be inaccurate. And you will have to spend some time creating a map from this data. Or you can buy it: Oracle Spatial and Location Services: Technology Partners. If I remember correctly,…

OK, a clear and typical enough requirement. You should use data filter in a repository (my second link). It will ensure users can't create a report without a filter and bypass your restriction. A very top-level plan is the following: 1. Create a session init block and use USER and/or ROLES system variables to compute your…

That's what I'm talking about. 1. If you need to assign only appropriate reports to users, you don't need variables: Managing Objects in the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) 2. And If you need to restrict visible rows in reports:…

By the way, I hope you aren't trying to make a row-level security by that. Aren't you?

Sorry, but all it is possible to say looking at your question is that you doing something wrong. OBIEE 11.1.1.9 has no magical _WORK_AS_I_WANT=true parameter. Show your configuration, error messages (if any), log files, etc. Do your part of work.

I understand what you want to do, my question is about why you want to do it. This requirement looks strange for me. And I've noticed that 3/4 of strange requirements typically originates from a blind following of other tools approach, or what users ask, or lack of knowledge of OBIEE features. The purpose of my asking is…

How much physical memory do your servers have? So far I've heard about this issue only in connection with lack of RAM. And by the way, three of four OSes you use are not in the supported OSes list. While one of them is supported, that isn't the core cause. Just to draw your attention.

What business task do you try to solve by this? It's often that what you really need is not the same as you think you need if the question is that far from the normal tool behaviour.

"And you forgot .6" means Robin forgot 11.1.1.6 version. Your 11.1.1.5 is extremely old. There were many releases after it: 11.1.1.3 11.1.1.5 <-- yours (~2011 year) 11.1.1.6 11.1.1.7 11.1.1.9 <-- the latest 11g major release 12.2.1.0 12.2.1.1 12.2.1.2 <-- current release 11.1.1.5 is neither supported nor does it have many…

@rmoff I've been at edelivery a few days ago. Only .9 (and 12c) available there. I think only the MOS can give .5 now. PS. And you forgot .6 :)

I presume this isn't an absolutely fresh system with default settings/rpd/webcat etc. Was it ever working before? What been changed since it was working?

Just an addition for what @FTisiot said about a background colouring. I can reproduce your exact issue using precisely what you did. -1. Set white background to "Location" column. 0. Save this format as a default for this column. <exit, close browser, forget about it> 1. Create a new report. 2. Enable alternating styling…

I found the bug I was talking about: Bug 14113844 : INVALID JSON PAYLOAD. If you face it, upgrading to 11.1.1.6.7 will not help you, this bug was fixed in 11.1.1.7. And because you say that the user has rights and that doesn't help, there is a strong possibility, that the problem is something else.

If the user has an access to /shared, that does not mean automatically that he has the same rights on every underlying folder. Just check every folder in the path to the report. And if I right, this error been corrected in 11.1.1.7.something.
