Comment on Calling Database function in OBIEE by Rohit

Hi Kani,

Can you please try removing the Evaluate function and call the DB function directly, as the SQL in Direct DB Request is fired directly on the database.

Hi Kanimozhi,
In OBIEE 11g, if you want to show the dashboard pages vertically then there is a work around for that. You can create 2 parallel sections, in one of the section you can have the reports and in other section you can create buttons with links behind them pointing to different dashboard.

Hope this helps…

Hi Kanimozhi,

If you want to show the Dashboards as vertical menu tabs then this can be done by adding the below tag in the instanceconfig.xml file:
2

The above works fine in OBIEE 10g but frankly speaking haven’t tried the same in OBIEE 11g. Need to give this a try.

And if this is regarding the Dashboard pages being displayed as vertical tabs then I think it requires some scripting.

I need to check both the scenarios and then only I can confirm the same.

Comment on Whts Dimensional Modelling…?? by Rohit

Hi Suraj,

The elaboration is as below:
Point 2) This means you should identify the tables having many to many relations and having numerical columns like Amount, dollar value etc.(numeric or additive non key facts) which can be aggregated. These type of tables should be designated as facts.

Point 3) This means that rest of the tables having a single key uniquely identifying the attributes of the table should be designated as dimensions and should be joined with the facts.

I hope this is clear…

thanks for the blog,however i did not understand the below para of your post.

Plz elaborate the point 2 and pt 3,from the perspective of Non key facts and single keys and by doing so how are we relating ER and DM?.

Para that’s not clear

2) Identify many to many relations in ER diag. which have numeric or additive nonkey facts in them as designate them as facts.
3) Denormalize the rest of the tables with single keys (dimension tables) and join them to fact tables.

I have installed OBIEE 10.1.3.2 on Windows 7 every thing working well except Java host
while I try to start it automatically gets stopped.
And giving error like “the Oracle Java host service on local computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically”

Note: I have installed JDK in C:\Java\jdk1.7.0_02 not in [space Program File path, why because due to the space issue my java host services not started i faced same problem previously] so that I have installed freshly both JDK(C:\Java\jdk1.7.0_02) and OBIEE software, then again it is giving same error how come it is possible I am getting surprised.

Please solve this issue.
