Specifies if sub-requests to source databases are executed separately as standalone queries or executed together. By default, sub-requests are shipped separately which can improve performance if you execute complex reports with a large group of sub-requests, that is, you prefer to ship the sub-requests separately in multiple simplified queries rather than ship a large single complicated query all at once.

In Oracle BI Enterprise Edition, the default is set to NO. If you used Oracle BI Enterprise Edition and want to retain the previous default behavior, set this property to NO to continue executing database sub-requests together.

• Default — Database sub-requests are shipped separately. This is the same as the value YES.

Edition: Professional and Enterprise

Applies to content migrated from Oracle BI Enterprise Edition.

After you migrate content from your Oracle BI Enterprise Edition environment to , you may see a different language in messages, dates, or currencies within analyses.

For example, if you look at a migrated analysis in Polish, the currencies or dates might display based on the default locale, not the original Oracle BI Enterprise Edition locale. To preserve the Oracle BI Enterprise Edition currencies and dates in , change this setting to Polish.

Edition: Professional and Enterprise

Determines whether action links that users add to analyses and dashboards can invoke any URL or only URLs that administrators specify in the safe domains list.

• On — Don't allow actions to invoke any URL that's not in the safe domain list.

• Off — Allow actions to invoke any URL, even if the URL isn't listed as a safe domain.

Edition: Enterprise only

Specifies whether to enforce strict recursive data type checking for comparisons between identical data types (for example, integer to integer) or non-compatible data types (for example, integer to short integer) on all data sources or with all datasets.

• On — Enforces strict recursive checking for identical or non-compatible data types on all data sources or datasets.

• Off — Relaxes strict recursive checking for date and time data types on all data sources or datasets. However, if there are too many data type inconsistencies, you may want to change the data types to be compatible or use constants of the correct data type when comparing a column to a value. For example, after you migrate content from Oracle BI Enterprise Edition to , you might start seeing this type of check error in your reports because eary versions of Oracle BI Enterprise Edition didn't enforce strict checks:

  [nQSError: 22024] A comparison is being carried out between non-compatible types <type1> and <type2>.

Specifies whether to sort NULL values before other values (On) or after (Off). Select the value that matches your database. If this setting doesn't match your database setting, then the database setting takes precedence.

• On — Sorts NULL values before other values.

Default: Off

Edition: Professional and Enterprise

Specifies whether the automatic removal of trailing spaces from varchar columns is enabled (Off) or disabled (On). For example, when this property is enabled (Off), when a user starts entering values in a field, the filter dialog automatically trims any trailing spaces.

• On — Preserves trailing whitespaces in varchar columns. If you primarily use Oracle Database sources, you might want to keep the default Oracle Database behavior of preserving trailing whitespaces rather than removing them. When you toggle this property on, you avoid the overhead of trimming spaces, and this can improve performance.

  If you disable this property (set it to On) and you construct a filter such as PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION = 'My Product '), you must make sure the amount of trailing whitespace used exactly matches the varchar column value. If you don't, the filter won't correctly match the data values.

• Off — Trims trailing whitespaces in varchar columns when processing queries. This is the default for . For example, if a user enters the text 'My Product ', it trims it to 'My Product'.

Default: Off

Edition: Professional and Enterprise

• On — Display blurred workbook thumbnails on the Home page. If this setting enabled (on), workbook owners can hide the thumbnail for individual workbooks if they need to.

• Off — Don’t display any workbook thumbnails on the Home page. Instead, show the standard icon for all workbooks.

  • For dashboards: Various dialogs in the dashboard editor, Text Properties dialog, and Edit Header and Edit Footer dialogs (under Print and Export Options).

• Never — Prevents users from applying markup. Hides the Contains HTML/JavaScript/CSS Markup option. Users can only enter plain text. Oracle Analytics ignores any markup that users previously entered and saved for their analyses and dashboards.

• HTML Only — Enables users to apply HTML markup. Displays the Contains HTML/JavaScript/CSS Markup option in dialogs where additional formatting might be useful but only safe HTML is allowed (no JavaScript or CSS). When an analysis or dashboard opens, Oracle Analytics sanitizes any markup that users have entered and applies only the HTML markup.
• On Open — Prevents users from applying additional markup (existing markup is retained). Hides the Contains HTML/JavaScript/CSS Markup option so users can enter only plain text. Any previously saved markup for analyses and dashboards continues to be applied.

For example, to display values in United States Eastern Standard Time (EST), which is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) - 5 hours, enter the value GMT-05:00 or the equivalent value in minutes -300.

If you don't set this option, no time zone conversion occurs because the value is "unknown".

Specifying a different offset value for each user
