OBIEE 11g : Tool tip on a report link

Hello All,
Is it possible to add a mouse over tool tip to a report link on a dashboard page (not on column heading) ?
The dashboard currently has descriptions for the report links to see what is the report usage and it is eating up a lot of space , the idea is to eliminate this notes section and provide information to the user so as to what the report is as a tool tip.
I have seen OTN threads on tool tips on to reports and column headers but I would like to just specifically add the mouse over pop-up to a report link that exists on a dashboard page.
Any suggestions , please advice.
Thanks,
-VS

There is a way using JavaScript, right now I dont have code to share with you.
Assuming your report name is "Summary Report", using JavaScript search for this "Summary Report" on dashboard and apply CSS script something like mouseover.
You may get code in pieces on net, try it out.
I too try to help you with code but take some time ;)

  • 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.....

  • Adding Custom "Report Links"

    Does anyone know how to add custom "Report Links" to OBIEE? Right now the standard report links available are "Modify", "Refresh", "Printer Friendly", "Download", "Addd to Briefing Book", and "Copy". I want add another option called "Detailed Report" and have it appear along side all the other report links.
    Is this possible?
    -Joe

    I am not aware of a "best practice" for doing exactly what you wish to do. If you have a large number of reports and you wish all to have a "summary" or "detail" that the user can choose, one way to have this functionality is to build a "table of contents" dashboard page composed of "link or image" objects that have, as titles, "Report1 -- Summary" and next to it "Report1 -- Detail" and have them all listed next to each other in column form.
    The user can then right off choose if he/she wishes to see the summary version or detailed version of any report and when opening them up (in a new window) can decide whether to print, download, etc. This gives an overall view of all your reports so the user can see everything and at the same time choose between what version of the report he/she wants to view.
    As far as "best practices" in general, I have this book which has some good tips:

  • Physical Query in OBIEE 10g vs OBIEE 11g

    Hi Everyone,
    We're in the middle of an OBIEE 10g to an OBIEE 11.1.1.6.4 upgrade and as part of our assembly testing we were planning on comparing the physical query generated for a report generated in obiee 10g vs the physical query for a report in obiee 11g.
    After a couple reports we noticed that the query structure in 11g is completely different than the query structure in 10g. The reports still generated the same data in 10g vs 11g. So my question is:
    1) is it worth while (or necessary) to do a physical query comparison for an obiee 10g to 11g upgrade? or is validating the front-end report data & drill down/interactions adequate?
    2) what are some general reasons why a query generates differently in obiee 10g vs 11g?

    Pl post details of OS versions, exact database versions (to 4 digits) and init.ora parameters of the 10g and 11g databases. Have statistics been gathered after the upgrade ?
    For posting tuning requests, pl see these threads
    HOW TO: Post a SQL statement tuning request - template posting
    When your query takes too long ...
    Pl see if the SQL Performance Analyzer can help - MOS Doc 562899.1 (TESTING SQL PERFORMANCE IMPACT OF AN ORACLE 9i TO ORACLE DATABASE 10g RELEASE 2 UPGRADE WITH SQL PERFORMANCE ANALYZER)

  • Physical layer design in obiee 11g

    Hi,
    I need a clarification regarding physical layer degin in obiee 11g,I imported Oracle Apps reports ,but could not find any keys there at table level.So should i create keys on the imported table level or at the alias level of the imported tables.
    Thanks-Bhaskar

    If you import a transaction table you may have keys imported in physical layer but when you going with warehouse table you may not have keys at database level, you define them using join in physical layer.
    We have surrogate keys in dwh.
    Hope this clear your doubt, if helps pls mark

    looks like there is a way to recover the lost passwords for RPD's using listcred() method of wlst
    look at the following doc http://www.rittmanmead.com/2011/04/oracle-bi-ee-11g-migrating-security-credential-store-part-3/
    Listing the Credential in Dev Environment:
    All the Credential Keys are generally stored in an encrypted format (the passwords). So, to migrate we will need to first extract these passwords and then do the migration to Production. The passwords can be extracted through the listCred() method of WLST. We need to be connected to the Admin Server for this method to work. The exact command is given below
    connect(“weblogic”,”welcome1″,”localhost:7001″)
    listCred(“DevMap”,”DevKey”)
    This will show the encrypted password entered inside the key as shown below
    And this is what we see in the enterprise manager.
    As you see, with listCred we are able to extract the full credentials. Now, lets try to see what is the default password for the BISystemUser.
    listCred(“oracle.bi.system”,”system.user”)
    In the same way lets extract the passwords of the SampleAppLite repository.
    listCred(“oracle.bi.enterprise”,”repository.SampleAppLite”)
    With this we can even extract the lost Repository passwords."
    i am going to try it out now

  • How does one turn off the URL tool tip

    When the cursor hovers over a web link a tool tip appears giving the links URL. How can this event be turned off, or better, turned on/off through the context menu?

    And, uh, the list of hidden commands is available where exactly? This could lead to serious trouble/fun.
    My list isn't available publicly; I got it from my contacts at Apple. There is a partial list of some of these hidden commands Secrets here, but you can easily damage your system if you don't know what you're doing. That means, unless you're prepared to recover from a completely non-functioning system, you shouldn't be playing with these commands. Apple does not support them in any way.

  • Tool tip makes buttons unclickable

    Is this normal or have I set a weird preference or something? I've created a simple example here:
    http://www.goby.com.au/test.html
    You should notice if you roll over the blue tab there is a tool tip. But if links or buttons are below the section where the pop up is, you can't click on them. (I left half of the second link hanging out to show it's a real link.)  Any thoughts?

    m facing the same problem..tooltip and button can't b used at same divison...

  • OBIEE 11g Analysis : Change Report edit link to go Criteria tab instead

    How to change the setting to have the "Edit" to go to criteria tab instead of Results (Compond view)?
    Many time we may need to change the filter from default setting and then run the report or if the filter is setup to be used from a dashboard (using "Prompted") option...then the report attmpts to run the report without values...
    And I have not checked to see if the server cancels the query to the database when the user navigates to the Critetia Page as there is no cancel link...(as it displayed in 10g...)
    FYI, We have just started using OBIEE 11g in a dev environment, we are in the process of configuring the new env to get ready for prod...
    Thanks

    Hi,
    By default, the Action request is sent to results tab. You can modify it by editing the dashboardeditor.js file found in /app/res/b_mozilla/dashboards folder.
    Steps:
    1) Open dashboardeditor.js file.
    2) Search for the function "DUIModifyReport".
    3) Inside the function you will find that ***"&Action=results&Path="****
    4) Change results to criteria. In other words, the changed code will look like
    ****"&Action=criteria&Path="*****
    5) Re-deploy the code and bounce the services.
    -- Remember, this will affect for entire dashboard, and for all users. ---
    If you want to avoid step (5), then manually copy the changed dashboardeditor.js to /user_projects/domains/BIfoundation/servers/bi_server1/tmp/_WL_user/analytics_11.1.1/$RANDOMFOLDERNAME$/war/res/b_mozilla/dashboards and bounce the services.
    Voila - now when you edit the analysis through dashboard, it will take you to the criteria tab, instead of results tab.
    Please award points, if it helps.

    Bharath

  • 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.

  • Report Links issue in obiee 11g

    hi all,
    we are using obiee 11.1.1.5 version. we are facing issue with report links. when there is no data in the dashboard, the dashboard is displaying only Refresh button, it is not displaying Export and Print(even though we customized the report links to display Refresh, Export, Print). when there is data in the dashboard it is displaying Refresh, Export and Print as expected. Is this product limitation or a bug in obiee.

    You need to repost this in the OBI-EE forum.
