Makes sense to me

Have seen this come up a number of times

Definitely like the idea of this to reduce overhead on each upgrade

Have had issues with this feature before with a developer moving whole folders, definitely a useful to disable

Agreed, there are paid tools available however it would be nice to have a built-in Oracle solution

Thanks for the useful solution this is great a report level For my use case though I'm looking more for a solution at the Home page level - mainly for the use case "like me, you go directly into analytics it would be useful to have a link back to the application" it is really a quicker way to pop back to the front end at…

Hi Ling I've been on a few projects where this has been asked for (I've also seen questions in the forum section here) It would give an admin user the benefit of being able to know of all objects within an environment, this would: - Make the migration process from one environment to another easier (especially if the last…

Are you able to use the seeded Audit Report functionality found in the navigator under Tools>Audit Reports?

You can see the list of privileges in OBIEE navigating to Administration > Manage Privlieges. This gives you an idea of what you can enable/disable rather than removing privileges per role

Yeah it's a tricky one, I'm not a big fan of this approach (although I do like objects to be locked down). But it's the only potential approach I can think of right now, I suppose the privileges were built in this design to leverage in similar situations to this

One potential way of doing this is to assign the BI Publisher Data Model Developer Role privilege to the custom role and then lock down every existing data model update access to BI Administrator Role only. If that does work you'd need a handover process between the custom role user and administrator to lock the new report…

Hi Steven Please go ahead and check this it should help How to Sort Data In eText Template? (Doc ID 1263511.1) Thanks Tom

Hi Farooq, As mentioned this is a feature within OBIEE. I suggest that if you need to make changes to the folder permissions do so in /analytics. Be careful when changing such an important folder though. If you have customised OOTB reports changing permissions to the Custom folder can impact processes and ESS jobs if the…

Hi Vishal Have you checked the logs in OBIEE Administration>Manage Sessions or Administration>Manage Agent Sessions It's not pretty but will show you analyses run and gives you some sort and filter options. Be careful though as you can clear the cache Thanks Tom

Ok so you're using OTBI so I'm guessing you have a SaaS offering I will try to recreate this on my side but it's difficult as I'm guessing then that you have no set rule for what you want to set the NULL values to e.g. 100 = Apple because in fact 100 could be Apple, Orange or Banana Do you know how many NULL values you…

Hi Jonathon What tool are you using for this OTBI or BIP? The reason I ask is that I want to make sure it's not something silly in OTBI like grouping in the display that results in this rather than actual NULLs One option is to create an inner query but this might get quite messy and is only guaranteed if all the values of…

Thanks for the link, very useful

Note on this one it will only work when you schedule a report not run ad hod, so this will have to be added as a business process to only schedule (best to set up a job that runs daily/weekly/monthly)

Hi So if my understanding is correct you want to schedule a report and for it to do two different bursts in one run? If so, I'm not sure that this is achievable. Bursting is a mechanism to send data in different ways, perhaps in different formats or to different audiences. It's intended to be run separately. So you create…
