OBIEE 11g upgrade has a lot of issues and among couple of them common is on Conditional Formatting . This emphasis that even if the Catalog upgrade is successful there are some of the problem still persists in XML conversion engine of the Upgrade Assistant(UA) leading though several catalog defects due to malformed XML . This is another example as my upgraded 11g charts failing to show its conditional formatting which is was working perfectly in 10g ….
Lets deep dive on whats the issue …
Below is the conditional format definition in 11g which is aligned with 10g:
So ideally it should show Chart bars (which is generated from Combined request Pivoted Graph) and see the below comparison:
To understand the reason of why 11g chart not showing the conditional format I went through the full XML from Advanced tab of 11g and find the below discrepancies:
This is malformed XML generated by UA during the upgrade of 10g code .If we look into 10g Advanced XML this is actually decimal but for some reason UA failed to put correct literal against it .
So the fix is replace all the instances of string “untypedLiteral” with “decimal’ like below:
Now after applying the XML the 11g chart output like :
And voila …. the problem is fixed … There could be another workaround to copy your 10g entire XML to 11g and yes it should work 🙂 🙂
Enjoy ..till next time…

The above solution will not work when you have same conditional formatting on union analysis.
Any thoughts on a fix for when the condition is based no a string rather than a number?
Hi Mike
The thread is about the 11g upgrade fix done . Do you mean that conditional formatting in 11g not working on number condition ? It should if that is not another bug . Sorry I don’t have 11g setup now to check it but what version of 11g you are using ?
Thanks
