• date function trunc works not properly

  Hello
  
  Another quick question if people don't bother me. Bit confused as to the date function trunc. I am following the review of databases sql guide and using their examples:
  
  Select trunc (to_date (June 2, 2009 13:00 ',' dd-mon-yyyy hh24 ')) day of double;
  
  This returns June 2, as it should be, because, as far as I know, spreading the default variable is the precision to 'day '. but when I explicitly add the variable 'day', as the guide has done with 'week', 'month' and 'year' in the following examples (so I guess that this format is correct instead of DD/month/yyyy), something is wrong:
  
  Select trunc (to_date (June 2, 2009 13:00 ',' JJ-me-YYYY 'HH24'), 'day') day of double;
  
  Returns May 31. which is incorrect.
  
  However replacing 'day' with 'dd' provides the right answer to the 2nd again.
  
  This isn't a major problem, it just bothers me that the guide (still) seems to be mistaken, something which is becoming a trend in their examples. altogether, I would like to know why this happens, because it will improve my understanding of sql in general - there may be some kind of defect to allow the correct use of the variable 'day' I am dominant, and that the guide did not.
  
  BTW, I work in sqlplus - although the developer has some weird results too.
  
  Thank you very much

  Right. Think "DD" as being the default 2 argument, not 'DAY '.

  TRUNC (dt, 'DAY')
  

  actually returns the start of the week that contains the dt, where NLS_TERRITORY determines when the week begins.

  If you find this confusing, you have plenty of company.

• Limitation of OBIEE answers

  Hello
  
  I have Oracle Business Intelligence 10.1.3.4.1 and I find the problem as in point 3. (http://obiee-blog.info/answers/some-obiee-answers-limitations/).
  "Unable to display the start date and the end date in the report based on the operator between, because with this operator, you cannot define a variable presentation. In this case, it between Quick Date does not work properly and is a known bug in OBIEE answers. »
  
  This problem is resolved in any version of obiee? You know a patch which solution?
  
  Kind regards
  Luko

  I don't have that you're talking about what bug?

  anyway have you tried that... where you can assign variables of presentation for the date between... (bypass)

  Now you can display those values in the story...

• OBIEE answers - excluding lines without affecting the overall totals

  Is there a way to exclude lines after grouping in the report to OBIEE answers but without affecting the total general?

  Example:

  Product group real Plan

  --------------------------------------------------

  Furniture 50 100

  200 100 devices

  Tehnology 300 0

  ------------------------------------------------------

  400 150 total general

  Lets say we want to remove the display since no sales technology was made, but we want to let the expected value.

  Table should look like:

  Product group real Plan

  --------------------------------------------------

  Furniture 50 100

  200 100 devices

  ------------------------------------------------------

  400 150 total general

  When you use the steps in selection, total general will be modified (reduced to 200)

  Is it possible to exclude from the ranks (Group) of the analysis, but to keep its values in the grand total?

  If your "total" is produced by OBIEE when allow you it in a table view or rotate view not really.

  Look at this static total without affecting the filters

• Field is in DB/table alias, but I get error ORA904 use in OBIEE answers

  Hello, I am very new to develop tools for RPD and OBIEE, so I'm struggling with something that I thought I did it correctly. I've added a new field in a database table and it can query the database. I've added it to the table of the RPD physical layer and I checked that there is now also in a the table alias. The field of physical table alias is used as the source for a logical column in the presentation layer. Everything looks good in the RPD. But when I try to pull up in a query in OBIEE answers I get a 904 error indicating that the column does not exist. I bounced, servers, deleted cookies and hide them, but nothing helps: I still get the error.
  
  What step I have missed?
  
  Thanks in advance!
  
  Rich

  Hi rich,

  In the physical layer, right-click on the new column that you added and do an update rank of County. If its success, then the column has been imported successfully to the RPD. And we might have to watch layers MDB and presentation, to the question.

  But above all, the error you mentioned occurs when the column is not correctly defined in the physical layer. If my guess is that the number of rows to update will fail. In this case check:
  1. the exact spelling of the column name. All traits underscores are correctly placed and there is no space attack / leak?
  2. the connection pool that you use in the physical layer, is that it points to the same PB in which the new column was actually added.

  Thank you

• Sort in OBIEE answers - Desc Nulls last

  I want to sort Desc on a column of answers, but want NULLS last. Where can I put it?
  
  For example, I can write SQL
  Select * from T1 by c2 Nulls first;
  Nulls last is the default behavior in Oracle SQL
  
  However, via OBIEE answers, I see when I use DESC Nulls are on top, they melt.
  Where should I put it?

  Hi shyamvaran,

  What is the value of the parameter 'NULL_VALUES_SORT_FIRST' in your NQSConfig.INI file? By default it is off. Which is probably what your seeing i.e. If NULL values are, you sort in descending order, then you expect to see first NULL values.

  If you want that null values finally appears when sorting in descending order, then on the above setting IT and bounce your services. That should take care of you.

  Otherwise, you can do a work around. Create a column in your report. This is the formula the value IFNULL (C2, 'aaaaaaaaaaa'). This way it'll be first in alphabetical order is modified in descending order. Set this descending sort column and then set it to hidden. It must sort your report in the order you want, and it should be hidden from view.

  Good luck and if you found this post useful, please give points!

  Best regards

• Conversion of OBIEE answers / interactive dashboards in .pdf or .xls files

  Hi all;
  I'm a freshie here as well as in the Business Intelligence industry. Currently, no prior knowledge of this tool, I work in the OBIEE answer.
  
  Is it possible for us to convert .pdf or .xls OBIEE response report/dashboard files? Other tools such as Cognos and Business Object have their own utilities to convert the tool reports in these formats. I believe OBIEE also are essential, but so far I couldn't find it.

  You can download reports on the dashboard to PDF format and HTML of:

• non-existent display data through the union in obiee answers

  Hi all
  
  Someone has tried to use the fake fact table to display non-existent data in the MDB at layer where there is hierarchy of dimension tables? If I remove the hierarchy of dimension tables, then I can display all records using the column of the fake facts table which has Cartesian joins with dimensions. Is there a work around for this issue?
  Thank you

  I have a requirement in my project as I need a function in the responses of OBIEE who must check the numeric column or a string column. If it is a numeric column, it must return the value 1, and if it is a string column, it must return the value 0. Is this possible? Please shed some light on this question...

• OBIEE-casting date of char in the case functions

  Hi all
  
  I'm trying to implement this scenario in the Oracle replies:
  
  Decode ("dim1".start_date, NULL, 'NA', "dim1".start_date)
  
  I wrote something like this in the responses:
  
  CASE WHEN 'Dim1'.start_date IS NULL THEN 'NA"ELSE"Dim1'.start_date END
  
  I get the error here as "NA" is of type string. If I do this:
  
  WHEN "Dim1'.start_date IS NULL THEN perform a CAST of CASE ("NA"AS the DATE) ELSE 'Dim1'.start_date END
  
  I works great... but what a way to encode this scenario? Help, please
  
  Kind regards
  Neha

  Try this
  CASE WHEN "Dim1".start_date ELSE IS NULL THEN "NA" cast ("Dim1".start_date as char) END

  It's now in char type

  To keep date type

  CASE WHEN 'Dim1'.start_date is NULL THEN 1 January 1970 "ELSE"Dim1'.start_date END
  or
  CASE WHEN .start_date IS NULL THEN timestampadd "Dim1' (sql_tsi_year,-40, current_date) ELSE 'Dim1'.start_date END

• Problem in updating the data in the OBIEE answers?

  Hello
  
  My report does not show the latest data in the database. I tried to restart my Server BI and Presentation server also. But it still shows the old data only. But in the Admin tool im able to view the most recent data. What could be the reason for this? The button update given at the bottom of the updating of the report used data?
  
  Thank you
  Knani

  You use cache and you toggle it in the NQSConfig.ini?

  If the table is cacheable (table properties) in the physical layer, you can toggle it by table.

  OK, just to clarify. I am not the ADMINISTRATOR, nor have I not privileges for any manipulation of data. I came to a new job where my job is to analyze the data, I have a few sql experience of my old job where I don't have this kind of problems, because they stored a date as a date to lie. But now I have this problem.

  I understand that since they stored the date as a varchar I can´t all dates? because if I don't want to count the difference in months or days difference of sysdate for example he wouln´t works ¿right?

  You cannot use built-in DATE manipulation functions. or features such as arithmetic, on the channels of the dates.
  You can use TO_DATE to convert strings to DATEs in questions where you need to do things like calculate the difference in months. For example:

  SELECT     customer_id
  ,     order_date
  ,     MONTHS_BETWEEN ( SYSDATE
                   , TO_DATE ( order_date
                               , 'YYYYMMDD'
                       )
                   )  AS months_ago
  FROM    orders
  ;
  

  Obviously, it will be slow, and you will get errors of execution if one of the chains do not represent valid dates.
