OBIEE:Enable Evaluate function


Hi all,

To enable evaluate function in obiee 11g we have to change the EVALUATE_SUPPORT_LEVEL
parameter in NQSConfig file. 

NQS config file located in OBIEE_INSTANCE/config/OracleBIServerComponent/coreapplication_obisn.

we can change EVALUATE_SUPPORT_LEVEL to 1,2 and any number. The details of each are available in NQSConfig itself.

 EVALUATE_SUPPORT_LEVEL:
     1: evaluate is supported for users with manageRepositories permission
     2: evaluate is supported for any user. 
     other: evaluate is not supported if the value is anything else.

 Change EVALUATE_SUPPORT_LEVEL to 2 if you want the users to use evaluate function in their report.

Restart the server after the change to make it effective.



And do mention aggregation rule in edit column formula if you are using evaluate in any report to avoid error below

[nQSError: 42015] Cannot function ship the following expression: Evaluate.



Hope it helps
