The separate use of a "normal" webserver is often used as simple proxy to give a nicer URL to your OBIEE (without port number), doing SSL offloading or caching CSS/JS/images to "improve performance". For this last need you must already have a super busy server (I mean lot of concurrent users etc.). For the first need it's…

Well, it's not completely wrong: as said you can open with a newer admin tool a older RPD, but you can't save it as the old version. As soon as you save the RPD is "upgraded" to the Admin tool version. So open yes, save no.

Opening and making changing it's fine, just do not save or your BI server will not start anymore ... Never ever try to use mismatching server and Admin tool versions. Yes, there are people who will tell you that there is a way to downgrade the RPD etc., but why to look for issues when you can have many admin tools of…

If you open your group while in the "Result" tab of Answers and save it the group will be saved as expanded and when you open the analysis the group will be open. That's also the reason why you must never "play" with your analysis in the "Result" tab when testing but only in preview as what you do there will be saved in…

Hi, A quick one: did you unchecked "suppress" and select "repeat" in "Column properties" > "Column format" > "Value suppression". As you say in the physical query there is no distinct it means the physical query return the duplicate? Then it's only the analysis hiding it (that's why I point first to the "suppress"...

You got the "technical" answers already, so I would like to give you my point of view on the "requirement".

Hi, As far as I remember 11g (don't have one in front of me right now) it's not something you can manage in the UI and for sure (I would say) not a per prompt setting where it's available for few and disabled for others. Your problem I would first say it would be better solved by design: have a different design of your…

Happy to read that So can you do a last thing and close the thread? Still This question is Not Answered. for now ... PS: and maybe also few words on your final solution, just to give the full story to somebody else having the same questions in the future

That's why I asked for the "exact version" of OBIEE, so bundle patch included. Chrome support had issues in 11.1.1.7 because of Chrome updates and various bundle patch fixed them (here is where @rmoff was going with his questions).

Hi, You are talking about applications but this is just your own definition and segmentation of a single OBIEE instance, these applications doesn't reflect on the server as independent things. That's why the BAR will contains your full OBIEE and when you import it you import the full OBIEE (ok, you can import only some…

Hi, To get some answers you must give something more ... Exact version of your OBIEE, version of your browser, some details of what the chart is doing (displaying 10 points or 10'000'000'000). Also do the common debug processes (clear browser history and files, test different browser etc.)

Did you try conditional formatting based on your cell value? It's in the properties of the column.

It depends a bit on your OBIEE (there are tons of 11g versions) but it works fine with a DB 12c. If it's a production or similar system then it's better if it is certified and for that you generally need to update your weblogic to 10.3.6 (from the base 10.3.5 provided with your OBIEE). As said it works even without that…

Not really, the filter view show you the column name or formula, so if you used a formula instead of a column from the RPD you see the formula.

In the RPD you can set the aggregation to MAX on the logical measure and then by setting the correct content level force the "by" or let it free based on the analysis the users build.

And what is the function supposed to do? Return you the last value of something? As long as you model it right in the RPD you can set a LAST aggregation on measures...

Hi, If it's for development I would follow Christian with VMs as you can easily have multiple versions. If you mean Admin tool sure, not a problem, you can install as many as you want next to each other. If you mean full OBIEE on your server it's also a yes, as long as you install into different folders and you pay…

Hi, There are many ways to manage this requirement in OBIEE. First you need to be able to identify for each user which branch they will be allowed to see (by querying a database table of employees locations or something like that). The idea is to have a session variable defined for every user in your system and use that…
