One of the most frequent requirements from reports in tabular form (Pivot Tables or normal Tables) is to show all possible values of a specific dimension and its related metrics.
But how to show all values if for some of them there are no data?
Being based on a SQL query, it is obvious that an OBI report shows dimension values that have information in fact tables, skipping values without any data.
For example, a Marketing report showing the number of Campaigns launched per Quarter will only display quarters having at least one campaign executed. If a quarter doesn’t have information about the report metric, the quarter will be skipped and will not appear in the end report. In this example (Figure 1), there are no campaigns launched in quarter 2 and 4.

Overview As I mentioned in the part one of this article Configuring OC4J Applications (i.e. BI Publisher) to work in Single Sign-On (SSO) Environment on IIS,  we may need to use applications like BI Publisher on web application servers other than OC4J. In this scenario we will see how to set up BI Publisher with Windows Native Authentication for Internet Information Services (IIS). The way to make BI Publisher work in the SSO environment shown in this document is only one of the multiple possible solutions. Other deployment options (including for example SSO cookie or Oracle Application Server integration) can be implemented but considering your client infrustructure (i.e. IIS used all over) the Oracle Proxy integration may be the only choice.
