How to document your star-patterns and dashboards?

Hello practitioners.

We are new to OBIEE and started a few weeks ago. We are a team of two men. A guy who does all the design data and the other for everything that surrounds answers.

Then, it happens regularly that the other guy should ask the guy on the exact definition and the meaning of the data fields, it wishes to use in responses.

Being a guy real programmer that has only to a field name free-explainary itself, as documentation, of course (or so he thought).

Question:

What tools and methods do you use to document star-patterns and dashboards?

As the other guy, it is important, that I take the correct fields, while on the other hand I don't want to disect a dashboard I built earlier, whenever someone wants something simular, just to understand what I actually did, at the time...

Thank you for your help

Hi Turalf,

Have you watched the OBIEE metadata dictionary? A method to allow users to access definitions of column and you answers can view the mapping of the presentation, through physical layer MDB.
Im sure you can expose observations of the RPD in it also.

Maybe you could watch ODI - lineage of the OBIEE data also provides mapping information "report to the source:

  • How to update your application signed and approved?

    Hello

    I had an app approved and signed, but now want to just update the application after a few changes. Anyone coming to live the same situation and how to do this? Or maybe came across some discussion / tutorial before?

    Many thanks for any help!

    A lot of discussions on resubmit etc.

    You just do the same as you did before.

    Only the essential is that you must get your version number, as the server prevents re-sign with the same version number.

    You can do this, depending on your environment, by editing the app.xml file, or possibly using the flag - buildId during packaging or maybe same signature.

    App World, you simply add a new version as you did before.  Also probably a very good idea to be specified in the release notes on the ground that you have changed, in which case it helps to speed up the approval.

    Also be sure to check the signature, if you aren't certain things.  Don't forget you can always check the meta-inf folder in your .bar file, and you can also do a test of validation on values in the MANIFEST. MF file... There are still many discussions where things like that are mentioned.

    I guess you gave BlackBerry plan / BIS already on your account, otherwise you call carrier to turn that on and it your current problems with BBM7.

    If you already have this (BIS) on your account so you can try that to see if that helps. First of all on your home screen, go to Options > Application > delete BlackBerry Messenger in the list

  • How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore? my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

    How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore?  my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

    I know they are there and hidden somewhere, but this restoration took my settings of the computer to 2004! We lost all our data, our software that we use to operate our company at home, our quickbooks that has all our financial data, family photos, videos, Outlook will work not so no e-mail, all turned in time and 6 years ' worth of documents have disappeared.

    What happeneded was that I was trying to upgrade to quickbooks software when I got an error, I cancelled out of the facility, then restarted and that's when I got an error hal.dll something? I thought about a system restore would allow me to go back in time to just before when the error occurred, but he basically took my computer back to factory settings, so all the programs that I installed and paid hundreds of dollars for the past six years has disappeared, Microsoft Office and very expensive construction estimating software that we wil have to pay once AGAIN for If I can't get this program working properly.

    I am a fool! I can't believe what's happening.

    Someone at - it instructions on how I can retrieve either the programs and data that I need specifically or how to go and seek shade from the files I read online on and restore my computer for about 12 hours ago?

    Thank you all!

    Looks like you did a system rather than a system restore recovery.  If you have inserted a disc supplied with your machine and booted from it, you probably erased the disc and installed the original operating system provided with your computer.  Usually, a step in this recovery is to do a full format or quick of your drive.  If you did a full format, your data is permanently lost.  With a quick format, your data may still be there, somewhere but inaccessible by normal means.  Applications must generally be installed, in order to recover the files probably will not help unless you have the original installation media.  Your other data files (images, videos, financial data) may be salvageable, but at this point, it would be advisable to take your computer or your disk to a business/professional who is experienced with data disc recovery.  It will be cheap and there is no guarantee.

    Impatient, remember investigate you a backup strategy for your computer and critical data.  Hard drives can go wrong with little or no warning.

  • Does anyone know how to reach the Tower of paper and zoom effect they use on the TV news? Where they have a document on the screen and then zoom and highlight a part of it?

    I see this sort of thing all the time on the news. They talk of a letter or something like that, and then 'scream' a piece of it that zooms for the Viewer to read.

    Is this something that can be done in Premiere Pro or After Effects? If so, is there a tutorial for that?

    Thank you!

    Ken

    Lots of ways to do so; the final aspect is to you.

    But any change that will involve 2 copies of an image of the document (image, not pdf, text or Word document. Like a paper copy of scan).  At least one must have a resolution in pixels above the dimensions of the video image pixel.

    Example: your video is full HD - 1920 pixels by 1080 pixels.  Scan a 8.5 in. by 11 in the document at 300 dpi and you get an image that is 2550 pixels 3300 pixels.  You put two copies of this document scanned into your sequence of Pr image stacking them on separate video tracks.  A scale down in size to show the entire document and leave one full size.  Be sure to keep the size of the one at the top of the scale.  To the small scale visible under the copy full size, put on a mask or garbage matte on the waist to reveal the text you want to finally show the public.  Reduce the hidden copy and place it in the frame to match the document below.  Animate the scale of the above 100% copy to get the desired zoom effect.

    Add borders, caches, mattes of color or anything else to get the look and the desired effect.

    There are other ways to do so; Some may even be easier.  That's how I'd do.

    Thank you
    Jinbo

    Summary:

    1 set the "New Menu" permission in the 'home page and Header' refusal, then the 'New' menu will disappear from the top right of the page, which prevents the user to create dashboards and new anlysis

    2. in order to not allow the user to modify the catalog, set the permission of "access user interface of the catalogue"in the ' welcome and header' to refuse."

    3. even made 1 and 2, we have always have a path that the user can create new report, it's "House"menu." To avoid this, our method is to set the explicit right to catalog for the application role.

    I'm not what you mean... Start by describing what tools or methods that you use to extract these pages.

    What you write in the first sentence is not true, however. In the dialogue window extract Pages, you can choose whether or not to delete the extracted pages of the original file and extract them as individual pages or not. If you UN-select both options, you will get a single file that contains the pages you have checked out, and they will not be deleted from the original file.
