Thats the default options you will have. You need to configure the authenticationschemas.xml and few other instanceconfig.xml and actionframework.xml files inorder for you to see those options
See this Integrating Oracle Business Intelligence Applications (OIBEE 11g) With Oracle E-Business Suite [ID 1343143.1]
Open the ActionFrameworkConfig.xml. The file can be found at: <Oracle Middleware Home>\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\config\fmwconfig\biinstances\coreapplication
2. Edit the ActionFrameworkConfig file to include the following element: <ebusinesssuiteconfig><visible>true</visible></ebusinesssuiteconfig>
3. Save and close the file
Mark if it helps

OBIEE 11g - APEX Integration through Action links

Hi All,
We are trying to achieve SSO between OBI and APEX. We got this working by the below process.
1. Integrate OBI domain with AD
2. Integrate APEX with the same AD ( Perform standalone configuration)
3. Create Action Link in OBI pointing to APEX form
4. Accessing Action Link does not prompt the credentials
5. APEX form opens up in a separate tab in browser
We checked this by logging into OBI using an AD ID and jumping to APEX from there through action link. However the user context is not getting carried forward to APEX. For example if we login as "d123456" AD user in OBI, when we access APEX form the user name is appearing as "NO BODY" at the top right corner. We have a use case where in we want to capture the ID who is accessing the APEX form. The field is updated as NOBODY.
But if we login to APEX stand alone URL, then the actual AD user name can be seen on APEX pages.
Can some one help on how to carry forward the user context from OBI to APEX.
Thanks in advance.

How to put an image infront of a link as in the Oracle E-Business Suite

I have noticed that when the main page opens in the EBS after login, the links that we see has a small square icon infront of it.
Can anyone let me know whats the name of this image and how to put it infront of the links on my main page.
Regards

Hi Gaurav,
I have just found out that in the E-business suite, when you click a link with the icon as fwkhp_formsfunc.gif then it opens up Oracle Forms based interfaces, whereas when you click on a link with fwkhp_sswafunc.gif as an icon, then OAF based pages opens up.
Just thought of sharing with you.

Missing Actions Link in Page Group Navigator

Hi,
I have a problem in portal page group navigator, somehow the action link is missing ( Edit Root Page, View, Properties etc). Can somebody help me, how to retrieve back the link.
For your information I've checked the permission or access, I've grant the permission to manage all.
thank you in advance

Hi,
We are also experiencing similar problem since this morning.
This portal is 10.1.4 on Solaris 9. It's a new install of 10.2.0.2 oracle App Server and then upgraded to portal 10.1.4.
We logged in as portal user and created a page group, few pages yesterday. It all worked fine. Suddenly this morning all the action links such as edit, properties..etc are disappeared for the entire page group and all the pages in it.
Then we checked the privileges of the portal user. Everything seems to be Ok with the user privikeges, so we restarted the portal. But still same problem. But after some time suddently all the links appeared.
But now they are gone again. Not sure what's going on? Is this a bug? Do we need to apply any patches? Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Chandra

Action links in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
Can anyone help to understand all Action Links in obiee 11g.

Hi Ram,
Here are a couple URLs with examples on those types of actions.

Obiee 11g 11.1.1.6 Action links not taking into consideration DashBoard Prompts

I really hope someone can help.
I have a dashboard with an analysis that has a column that is not shown but is prompted via dashboard prompts.
This dashboard is a summary set of data and the column in question is deliberately exclude at the request of the users for clarity within the analysis.
An example would be a pivot report that looks something like this.....
OrgUnit
Year 2010-11
Year 2011-12
Org 1
5
19
Org 2
7
25
Org 3
3
7
With a Prompt on the dashboard for example pay grade set to a default value.
The dashboard prompt works just fine and only the items prompted for are shown.
However - the dashboard report has another report linked via an Action Link - that allows you to drill down on one of the values.
The prompts on the linked report are Org Unit, Year and Pay Grade.
clicking on the Year 2010-11 value for Org 1 I would expect only 5 results however every value for the year 2010-11 at Org 1 is returned and the prompt on pay grade is ignored - obviously as it not passed by the action link!
How can I get around this?
Is this a 'feature' of OBIEE as other similar tools I have used take any top level prompts as explicit parameters for further drill downs - any help would be appreciated.....

Hi,
Yes, we do face this issue.There is no workaround for this issue as of now.

OBIEE 11g Drill Hierachies & Action Links

Hi Everyone,
Apologies if this has already been covered in another thread.
I have create a level based hierachy and a report with 2 columns.
Type1, #
When following the drill path the heirachy/report is as follows...
Type1,#
which drills to
Type1, Type2,#
which drills to
Type1, Type2, Type3, #
The problem, I would like to create an Action Link (navigate to BI content) on the Type3 column once at the detail and final level in the drill.
To provide further context, I have tried saving the Action link the as the default interaction for the type3 column however our version of obiee is saving/remembering the interaction choice but not the action link itself.
Any ideas??
Thanks

1. Did doing this one time create a permanent fix for you?
- Yes , The reason what I assume is XML is very sensitive and gets corrupted easily if the OBI environment is unstable.
So in my case since the number of master-detail reports was less - I actually recreated those reports. Filters were being Protected. This fixed our issue.
DO take the backup before modification.
2. Why does the protected filter help? Should we always use protected filters when navigating using an Action Link?
-No idea - As i was playing around to find the workaround - I happened to PROTECT the filters in the master reports and the trick worked out. I assume when filters are protected in master reports - OBIEE front end makes sure that actual filters are carried away when the master is navigated to detail despite XML of the master-detail setup is corrupted.
3. What is an example of an unused front end object? I am unsure as to what this is.
-Ohh- I wanted to say - Front end objects ( Reports , dashboards, Saved Filters , Actions, Agents etc which are NOT in use - or which are outdated ) can be removed.
This makes the front end setup lighter and stable.
Thank you.

OBIEE 11g Agent Includes Action Link Report Name

OBIEE 11g Agent Includes Action Link Report Name
I have a dashboard page with multiple reports. One of the reports has Action Links to drill to another report. When I view the dashboard as a web page, the report with the Action Links look fine. The link fields are colored blue. When I send this dashboard page as an HTML email, it shows the Action Link report name in the cell with the other data.
The dashboard page sent out as an agent should look the same as the web page and the Action Link report name should not be visible.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Eric

So you spoofed the values of the 2nd column to have the report act almost like a menu listing?
if that's the case then check the data type of column 2, it should be set to HTML. Then you will just need to build your HTML tag within the column formula.
Example below bins the year name into a Link HTML Tag:
'<a href="http://'|| CASE WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2011' THEN 'www.google.com' WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2012' THEN 'www.yahoo.com' ELSE 'www.apple.com' END || '" target="_blank" > ' || CASE WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2011' THEN 'www.google.com' WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2012' THEN 'www.yahoo.com' ELSE 'www.apple.com' END || '</a>'
if that is not what you are attempting to do, please clarify.

OBIEE 11g Action Link translation issue

Hi All,
I have a translation issue with the Action links in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 version.
The pop-up which is displayed on clicking the column having action link is not getting translated. This seems to be the issue with all the action links.
All other catalog objects, captions etc are translated properly.
Has anyone faced similar issues ? Is there a workaround for this ?
Thanks for any pointers.

Action links are not getting translated. I faced a similar problem in OBIEE 11.1.1.6 version.
What you can do is replace that action link with a 'link or image' option in dashboard objects.
'Link or Image' types of object get translated in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 as well as OBIEE 11.1.1.6 version.
hope this helps.

Calculated Items and Action Links (OBIEE 11g)

Hi,
On OBIEE 11g here...
I have an anaylsis which shows a pivot table with only 6 columns of calculated items, with all of the standard columns hidden. The split of the pivot has been achieved using a variable created using the bin function.
I have set an action link on the measure shown in the pivot table to navigate to another analysis and, while clicking on one of the measures in a pivot column runs the specified report, it is not run using the the necessary parameters required to match the dataset shown in that particular column.
Is it possible to drill to a separate report and pass through the required filters from a measure showing in a calculated item, as it would be on a measure showing in a standard pivot table column?
Thanks,
Ang

You need to have 'Is Prompted' for that specific measure. I would suggest to use action links on other columns instead of metrics.
Pls mark as correct/helpful if helps

This works fine when i click the action link from the report instead of the exported pdf.
Any pointers?

It has been a while since I have checked this. Sorry for any delay. We have attempted to rearrange items however have had no luck.
On small break through we have is that we have a custom link setup using Microsoft IIS on our server so we can access the application from outside of our network rather than just internally. We have found that we only have the print/export issues when using this external link so there may be an issue with our IIS configuration. Just throwing that one out there in case anyone has had a similiar issue with IIS configuration and found a fix.

Creating an Opaque view for generating the Action Link URL in OBIEE EBS int

Do we have to Creating an Opaque view for generating the Action Link URL in OBIEE Oracle E-Business Suite integration if we are not using BI Applications(DAC). We built our Repository on Materialized views we were using with Discoverer so I'm not sure if we have to do the part that creates an Opaque view in our integration of EBS 11i with OBIEE.
Thanks in advance.
Leo

Hi Leo,
This is an example from an standard Oracle repository:
select header_id , line_id, fnd_run_function.get_run_function_url(
CAST(fnd_function.get_function_id('ISC_ORDINF_DETAILS_PMV') AS NUMBER),
CAST( 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.RESP_APPL_ID)' AS NUMBER),
CAST( 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.RESP_ID)' AS NUMBER),
CAST( 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.SEC_GROUP_ID)' AS NUMBER),
'HeaderId=' || header_id ||'&pFunctionName=ISC_ORDINF_DETAILS_PMV&pMode=NO&pageFunctionName=ISC_ORDINF_DETAILS_PMV',
null ) LINK
FROM isc_book_sum2_f
They use it in an opaque view, so you can reference session variables for login based on your responsibility.
Good Luck,

Actions links in OBIEE for PeopleSoft

Hello Folks,
how to implement Action Links in OBIEE for PEOPLESOFT
i google'd, but couldnt get any information and nothing in documentation
are there any undoumented ways to achieve this
thanks
kumr

It can be done by doing below steps.
1) before doing this take a backup of instanconfig.xml file and do the below changes...
You can configure various options that change the way that right-click interactions are handled in views for an analysis at runtime. The elements in the instanceconfig.xml file specify the default settings for a new or upgraded analysis. You can edit the properties of an analysis in Presentation Services to modify how the analysis handles right-click interactions in views.
Before you begin this procedure, ensure that you are familiar with the information in Section 3.4, "Using a Text Editor to Update Configuration Settings."
To manually configure for interactions in views:
2) C:\Oracle\Middleware\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\instanceconfig.xml
Open the instanceconfig.xml file for editing,
3)
Locate the sections in which you must add the elements
Include the elements and their ancestor elements as appropriate, as shown in the following example:
<ServerInstance>
<Analysis>
<InteractionProperties>
<InteractionPropertyAddRemoveValues>false</InteractionPropertyAddRemoveValues>
<InteractionPropertyCalcItemOperations>false</InteractionPropertyCalcItemOperations>
<InteractionPropertyDrill>false</InteractionPropertyDrill>
<InteractionPropertyGroupOperations>false</InteractionPropertyGroupOperations>
<InteractionPropertyInclExclColumns>false</InteractionPropertyInclExclColumns>
<InteractionPropertyMoveColumns>false</InteractionPropertyMoveColumns>
<InteractionPropertyRunningSum>false</InteractionPropertyRunningSum>
<InteractionPropertyShowHideSubTotal>false</InteractionPropertyShowHideSubTotal>
<InteractionPropertySortColumns>false</InteractionPropertySortColumns>
</InteractionProperties>
</Analysis>
</ServerInstance>
4) Save your changes and close the file.
5)
Restart Oracle Business Intelligence.
Mark as correct if it is helpful :)
Thanks.

OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.5...)Column Selectors and Action Links

All,
I think we have bug - we have a column selector for 3 columns. One of them is configured to navigate to another analyses page (we have only one action link configured) . we have checked the option - "Do not display in a popup if only one action link is available at runtime". The issue is the pop-up still shows up even if there is only one action link. The issue is only for a column group.
Please let us know if anyone has figured out a work around.
Thanks
