I did not set a background color for the column. I did PRECISELY what I took the time to document with an annotated screenshot. This is occurring in all subject areas, including Sample Sales. I presume that you tested the scenario by taking 30 seconds to do exactly what I described in the annotated screenshot. When you…

Additional information on this topic: The problem seems to exist with several things that are related to individual users and their preferences. Three others that I have found are: (1) The user's Favorites are lost after signing out; (2) The Home screen loses its "most recent 9 things" in the "Others" section after signing…

I had seen that document. And I will eventually implement the XSA_CACHE. But that wasn't my question. I want to know where they are stored when XSA_CACHE has not been configured.

Starting with OBIEE 11.1.1.9, Oracle made a design decision to remove the single-click synchronization of roles between Fusion Middleware and the OBIEE Repository. This design decision requires us to manually create roles in the Admin Tool that match the roles in Fusion Middleware. Oracle has reversed this decision, and…

Thank you, Christian. Do we have any kind of expected release date for the first patch set for 12c? Right now, several lessons in our courseware are tagged as "sorry, we can't do this one because of a product defect" Case in point: The inability to see roles in the Admin tool prevents several things, such as applying query…

May I suggest using more descriptive titles on your posts? A post entitled something like 'OBIEE 12c - Are media queries possible?' will stand a much better chance of someone addressing it than just the vague and generic title 'OBIEE 12c'.

It appears that they didn't deliberately remove it. The documentation for 12c still refers to it in the usual places for the usual purposes.

Thank you, 2706448. (Sounds like a prison number, ya know?) Unfortunately, 15 minutes of Googling reveal no patches for OBIEE 12c yet (over 4 months after the release). And because I am a lowly "partner" (training company), and not a "customer", I have no way to open an SR. Now for the flip-side of that question: Is there…

I think I'll have to slap myself on the forehead and say that the documentation was "hidden in plain sight". Books. It's under the "Books" link on the left side of this page: http://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1221/biee/index.html Duh! Thank you, rmoff.

Nope, that was not the behavior in 11g. A query refresh ran immediately against the updated repository without Reload Server Metadata. I don't find the topic in the release notes for 12c, and I have yet to figure out where to find the full documentation for OBIEE 12c. I have accessed: Oracle Fusion Middleware Documentation…

Does ANYONE have any information about this topic? It affects many different areas of OBIEE. Can someone at least reply and tell me whether you are seeing the same behavior or not?

Well alrighty then. That's what I have. Just different than 11g. Thanks!

Sorry about that. In Answers.

Ping. I am unable to set any role-based permissions, such as query limits, in the repository because I see no roles under Manage Identity or on the Permissions screen for presentation layer objects. Nor is the option to 'Synchronize Application Roles' present in Manage Identity. I am using OBIEE server verrsion 12.2.1.0.0,…

One thing I'll be curious about when I test this: The "driving" column is a DATE, and the "displayed as" column will be CHAR. Because I'm trying to do a range-based LTS fragmentation, I will need to use the DATE column in the fragmentation rule. It will be interesting to see if the whole thing works - if the correct…

Thomas, I think this looks promising. This is a completely different idea than what I thought I needed. But it may indeed serve the purpose for which I need it, which is really all that matters to me anyway. I will test it at the first available opportunity, probably the first part of next week. Thanks!!

Thanks, Joel. I had thought about that, and that would work perfectly IF there was an option in TO_DATETIME or TO_DATE that would allow me to control the locale of the formatted string. For the column in my local language (English), formatting the date of 7/15/2012 to MMM returns 'Jul'. For the Italian version of that…

Thank you, Joel. Interesting option. I like it. Unfortunately, it doesn't meet the criteria. I need the field to be a date field that is DISPLAYED in Italian. Using EVALUATE would change it to a character string field. Why do I care? Because I am attempting to use range-based fragmentation, and still allow my users to…

Problem solved. I finally understand what one of the critical pieces of documentation means. I wasn't understanding the meaning behind a "parallel content predicate with the use of the OR operator". Now I get it. It simply means this: If the fragment description in the logical table source refers only to "Times"."YYYY_MM",…
