Hi, The 2 solutions are at different levels. OBIEE is the analytical platform itself: it comes out of the box empty. No database, no model, no analysis or dashboard. You can link various sources to it, model those sources into logical models and use the result to create your analysis and build your dashboard. It's really…

The answer to your "why does Oracle make it complex" is as simple as defining the difference between a client application…

First thing first: what version of OBIEE are you talking about? Do you want the permissions associated with every analysis or do you want to resolve all the security dependencies and, for every single application role, get the list of all the analysis they are allowed to open? Because this is something totally different…

First, there isn't a "correct" way because there isn't really a wrong one. There also isn't a "best" way. Your database can be as you want, and it's generally not the BI defining it but more the DBAs and the security rules you have in place. I would say that a "not good" practice for me is creating synonyms to have all the…

The tValidator.getSubjectArea() maybe return a value encoded in a way or another, so you would want to check that. For your issue that you get an error just by having the russian character, try encoding it, like using the ASCII value or one of those alternative ways to get that char out from standard characters.

My guess is that the behaviour is correct and it acts like if you would have the 3 columns in your analysis. If you had separated columns for "location", "source name" and "file name" and an extra column for your "# transactions", clicking on an action link on the "location" column would only pass the "location" value down…

What is the database type of the database object in the physical layer of the RPD? You have attributes and measures in the same table, and you say they are from the same LTS, which is, by design, wrong as a fact logical table must have only measures (aggregates) and anything else must be in a dimension.

As Joel said, the BI Server generate queries based on what the RPD tell it to do (and some settings telling the system what your database understand). So far it's a very generic thread without examples or queries, so not sure what else could be said. What I can say, and you will not like it, is that my OBIEE doesn't do…

Not having a system in front to check, but doesn't the breadcrumbs at the bottom of the page give you that by default? Javascript to use browser "back" button is just like if you press the button in the browser itself: not fully compatible with how OBIEE is designed. There is too much javascript doing things to simply go…

A logical fact table doesn't have logical keys, just as it doesn't have attributes. All it must have is measures. You need to clean up that model because right now it's "strange".

I would say both replies you had before were pointing there. The problem is in the meaning of things: JosephX wrote:it runs daily and always selects data from the current period, based on whichever period that day is in There isn't something called "current period" having a universal meaning. "Current period" generally has…

What I can already say from the query is that your model isn't clean: how come that attributes and measures comes from a single table being an aggregated one? A logical fact table must have only measures (aggregations), attributes must come from logical dimensions. Without a proper model with clean hierarchies on your…

And the physical query is? That one is the logical query. By the way: the Oracle database is telling you that you have another issue: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

You have a popup message in VA with a link to a thread in the forum? Would be easier if you write all the details in this thread, otherwise there is no way somebody could guess all the possible things happening. Info like exact versions etc.

Still, did you check the query the BI Server is sending to the database? (that feeling of repeating myself ) Run an analysis giving you the error and find the physical query the BI Server sent to the database generating the error (either in the manage session page or the log files). What is this query like? Why do I…

Did you check in the logs what exact query the BI Server is sending to the database? Maybe it isn't using the fully qualified name and therefore there is a wrong or missing schema in the query or things like that.

It isn't me who developed OBIEE, it works like that for more than 10 years. So the reply is the same: buy a different tool or code the visualization yourself. Do a D3js or any other JS library visualization in your OBIEE analysis or develop a custom visualization plugin if you consider moving to DV. There is nothing else…

Buy a different tool ... OBIEE does this by concatenating values, so you will have "BizTech 2012" on the first column, "BizTech 2013" on the second etc. Just like the first screenshot I posted above. DV will have the same approach, but adding a comma to separate values (so something like "BizTech, 2012" etc.). You could do…

Sorry but you are either not doing it right or not saying everything about the analysis. OBIEE always worked as @Shane.S said. The order of the columns in the horizontal axis box matter: Brand, Year generate this chart with first a group by brand and for each brand every year as bar. If you want to have first a group by…
