ABC-Analysis in OBIEE
When I am at customer site the most interesting questions come up. Sometimes really challenging ones. Lucky this time I just had to ask around in my highly skilled Trivadis-network for the one after "How to implement ABC-Analysis in OBIEE"....
External strings in OBIEE - not only useful for localization...
One thing I am quite frequently asked by my customers is how to display the name of a measure and its corresponding base unit of measure (e.g. TCHF for Thousand CHF) in one column of my report. For those of you familiar with the external names there is...

Not a big deal for the HTML-guys among you, but for me something new. Here is a little feature to be included in a text section of your dashboard, which helps to make printing one click less. And sometimes can be the more appropriate way of printing....
Vertical Text in OBIEE
Great thing I found out this week. As so often a customer requested something, he wanted a text in a normal Pivot-table to have displayed vertical. While going through the different possibilities in OBIEE it did not come out to be makeable out-of-the...
Fix report headings and variable body
I just had a customer requirement who wants for reports with a lot of rows that the headings stay fix while the real report can be scrolled user-friendly as you like it. As far as I know (and I double checked with @lex and Christian ) there is no out...
Bright-eyed from Brighton
"Sorry, I'm late". After a real long time I finally have a little time to blog again. Missed it ! And want to restart with an happening which made my eyes look bright. Oh what a event... I can only follow my fellow-blogger Christian when...
Ports used in OBIEE
Just a couple of weeks ago I ran into a situation at a customer-site. They have Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) already installed, but wanted to use both the softwares separately, but on the same server. Therefore I had to change some of the ports...
Reports uneditable because name of presentation catalog changed
I am sitting in the train on my way back home from Munich. Just completed the survey for Mark Rittman's BI Forum when my thought came back to that one topic I wanted to blog about. So, here we go ! Have you also faced this screen in the left pane...

You want to get the real insight to your repository ? Some columns have been changed and therefore not translated anymore ? But which of the hundreds ? Then parsing your UDML could probably help you... Not the first time that networking brought really...
Half PDF half blank
A couple of weeks ago a OBIEE colleague of mine just had a case with a customer installation where whatever PDF you create from the BI publisher was half empty or half full, depending on how optimistic you are. We decided together to blog what we found...
Multilanguage-Support in use - Variables over variables
Just a couple of weeks ago I implemented support for multiple languages at customer-site and to be honest it is not the big easy to do so with OBIEE. Hence I decided to blog around some circumstances which occurred during the last weeks and not to go...
Using your own images within OBIEE
Oracle BI - suites provide a lot of flexibility to extend your BI-applications with variable content in order to face all challenges to customize a solution to your needs. Hence, today I will write something about adding your personal / company-pictures...
Good news: you really need no mouse for Oracle BI EE Administrator
As a person who absolutely dislikes pushing the mouse on the table too much the Oracle BI-suite is not exactly what I prefer working with. Although having this personal attitude to work with shortcuts I – surprisingly enough - have to admit that there...
