Action Link in obiee 11g for a Hierarchy Drill Down Level

Hi
Requirement is:
We have a Time Dimension Hierarchy with drill down Levels(Year, Qtr, Month, Day). So now i wanted to provide an action link on detailed column(day) which will navigate to other report. I have tried doing it but unable to get the actual solution.
Can anyone throw some ideas on how to achieve this.
Thank You

Hi,
Can u tell me whats the error you r getting over ther,
Use the hierarchy flow, starts with the + symbol,
edit the column properties and go for interaction tab and give action link + drill
check the columns between the 2 reports and assign prompts between the reports then you can get the correct one.

VG

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

Action link help OBIEE 11g

When I change the Column Properties --> Interaction --> Values to "Action Link", and choose a detail level report within the "Navigate to BI" the link does not work properly in the analysis.
For example, one team will show 3 records. When I click on the "3", it takes me to the entire detail level report, rather than just those 3 records. How do I correct this?
thx

You said one team shows 3 records. Did you put Team Name as prompted in the detail report?
Please add all dimensions in the detail report as prompted in the filter section to pick values from the summary.

Question regarding GO URL link with &Action=Navigate in OBIEE 11g

Hello All,
Actually I am working with the GO URL Links in OBIEE 11g.When I am trying to use the link as
&Action=Navigate&p0=3&p1=bet&p2="Time%20Periods".Date&p3=2+ '01/01/2011'+'01/31/2011'
The data is not getting filtered.It is giving me all the data which I don't need also..Is this a bug or am I doing any mistakes..Please let me know..

Actually I have a few parameters or filters and I am using those filters in the GO URL Link but that filters when I am applying in
&Action=Extract it is working properly.But When I am trying the same with &Action=Navigae it is not gining me the results what I want..

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.

Actionable Framework in OBIEE 11g

Hi Experts,
I have a queryon the "Actionable Intelligence" in OBIEE 11g. I came to know we can invoke external bussiness applications in OBIEE through these. We have a .NET application which we want to invoke in OBIEE presentation through this. It should be a link in a dashboard clicking on which should open the application for us. Can anyone please brief me the steps how to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.

Linked report from second level drill-down level

Hi,
I have a report with two drill-down levels, Dept Id and Job Id.
The requirement is when I am on Job Id drill level; I have to call another report when I click on any of the Job Id. This Job Id is passed to another report and the report is filtered based on that Job Id.
I created a hyperlink on Job Id drill down level successfully. But the problem is I am unable to go to the first level i.e Dept Id. Actually the hyperlink is displayed and the up arrow is not visible to go to the first level.
Is there any way where after creating a link on second level and opening the report in a new window, the drill up functionality can be maintained?
I am using Business Objects XI 3.1 version.
Thank you.

hi
there is another way to drill down the report of web intelligence.for that we have to customize in the universe level create a folder in custom hierarchy and add your two objects to that folder, i.e empid. and deptid. the order of these objects should be in the way the drilling happens that means if you want to drill down from empid. to deptid. then empid. should be the first object of the folder,save and export the universe to the CMS.Then it ready to use for webi report.Build the query for the report and enable the drill option in the report.Now the report is ready for your requirement.
thanks & regards

Poor performance with WebI and BW hierarchy drill-down...

Hi
We are currently implementing a large HR solution with BW as backend
and WebI and Xcelcius as frontend. As part of this we are experiencing
very poor performance when doing drill-down in WebI on a BW hierarchy.
In general we are experiencing ok performance during selection of data
and traditional WebI filtering - however when using the BW hierarchy
for navigation within WebI, response times are significantly increasing.
The general solution setup are as follows:
1) Business Content version of the personnel administration
infoprovider - 0PA_C01. The Infoprovider contains 30.000 records
2) Multiprovider to act as semantic Data Mart layer in BW.
3) Bex Query to act as Data Mart Query and metadata exchange for BOE.
All key figure restrictions and calculations are done in this Data Mart
Query.
4) Traditionel BO OLAP universe 1:1 mapped to Bex Data Mart query. No
calculations etc. are done in the universe.
5) WebI report with limited objects included in the WebI query.
As we are aware that performance is an very subjective issues we have
created several case scenarios with different dataset sizes, various
filter criteria's and modeling techniques in BW.
Furthermore we have tried to apply various traditional BW performance
tuning techniques including aggregates, physical partitioning and pre-
calculation - all without any luck (pre-calculation doesn't seem to
work at all as WebI apparently isn't using the BW OLAP cache).
In general the best result we can get is with a completely stripped WebI report without any variables etc.
and a total dataset of 1000 records transferred to WebI. Even in this scenario we can't get
each navigational step (when using drill-down on Organizational Unit
hierarchy - 0ORGUNIT) to perform faster than minimum 15-20 seconds per.
navigational step.
That is each navigational step takes 15-20 seconds
with only 1000 records in the WebI cache when using drill-down on org.
unit hierachy !!.
Running the same Bex query from Bex Analyzer with a full dataset of
30.000 records on lowest level of detail returns a threshold of 1-2
seconds pr. navigational step thus eliminating that this should be a BW
modeling issue.
As our productive scenario obviously involves a far larger dataset as
well as separate data from CATS and PT infoproviders we are very
worried if we will ever be able to utilize hierarchy drill-down from
WebI ?.
The question is as such if there are any known performance issues
related to the use of BW hierarchy drill-down from WebI and if so are
there any ways to get around them ?.
As an alternative we are currently considering changing our reporting
strategy by creating several higher aggregated reports to avoid
hierarchy navigation at all. However we still need to support specific
division and their need to navigate the WebI dataset without
limitations which makes this issue critical.
Hope that you are able to help.
Thanks in advance
/Frank

Hi Henry, thank you for your suggestions although i´m not agree with you that 20 seconds is pretty good for that navigation step. The same query executed with BEx Analyzer takes only 1-2 seconds to do the drill down.
Actions
suppress unassigned nodes in RSH1: Magic!! This was the main problem!!
tick use structure elements in RSRT: Done it.
enable query stripping in WebI: Done it.
upgrade your BW to SP09: Has the SP09 some inprovements in relation to this point ?
use more runtime query filters. : Not possible. Very simple query.
Others:
RSRT combination H-1-3-3-1 (Expand nodes/Permanent Cache BLOB)
Uncheck prelimirary Hierarchy presentation in Query. only selected.
Check "Use query drill" in webi properties.
Sorry for this mixed message but when i was answering i tryied what you suggest in relation with supress unassigned nodes and it works perfectly. This is what is cusing the bottleneck!! incredible...
Thanks a lot

How to pass values of the prompt through Action Link - URL in 11g

Hi All,
I am in OBIEE 11g v6.
Let's say, I have two dashbaord pages P1 and P2.
P1 page contains
1. Prompt PR1 - containing a single column EmpName
2. Report R1
P2 page contains
1. Prompt PR2 - containing a single column EmpName (same column as in PR1)
2. Report R2
Requirement :
Let's say a user select a value = David from the EmpName column in prompt PR1. In the Report R1, on one the measure columns 'Sales', I am using an action link - Navigate to URL ( I can't use Navigate to BI Content for some reasons). In the URL, I am giving the URL to page P2. Can I pass the selected value (which is David) to the EmpName column of the Prompt PR2 of Page P2 so that Report R2 is automatically limited by David when I land on that page through the URL?
Few things to consider are, I can't use EmpName column in my report R1 on page P1, I just want to pass the value of a common column from one prompt on Page1 to another prompt on Page2. Is that possible. Can anybody please help?
Thanks,
Ronny

Hmm can you give a try one more time with
Add EmpName name and hide it on report R1 on page P1
and set EmpName as Is Prompted on report R2 on page P2 and with my earlier steps should work.
Other option is read this doc once that helps you how to pass value thru url.

Using OBIEE 11g for 10 minutes...not liking it (at all)...slew of bugs

I don't mean to rant, but I've been a huge supporter of OBIEE 10g for years now. I've finally got 11g installed on my laptop, and I've spent 5 minutes playing with straight forward answers stuff, and I've already hit two or three "showstopper" issues, and 2 or three "really annoying" items:
1. I go in to Answers (Sample sales), choose "P1 Product" and then go to the Results tab. As expected, I see a list of products. So then I go back to the Criteria tab, and add in "P2 Product Type", "P3 LOB", and "P4 Brand". Navigate back to the Results tab...and it's showing exactly the same 1 column of products as before. Hit the refresh button just in case...and that doesn't help either. Is this a bug? Or is there some magic other than just switching between criteria and results tabs to see the "new" results???
2. Trying to figure out what SQL is going on in #1, I click on the administration link. But instead of popping up a new window and leaving my original analysis alone, it navigates me to the admin page. When I try to go back to the analysis using back arrow, everything has been erased...so I've lost it. Also, the "Administration" link doesn't allow me to "Open in new browser window". Am I completely insane, or has this functionality been totally ruined?
3. In the criteria tab, items used to have a filter icon, formula icon, sort icon, etc. directly on their tiles. Now I have to hit the little dropdown and pick from a list. 1) this hides functionality from users, 2) this adds extra mouse clicks and slows things down with little if any apparent benefit. Is there a reason this was done?
4. In the criteria tab, if I have two dimensions with several attributes, I used to be able to re-sort the dimensions in front of each other by dragging and dropping the dimension name (upper part of tile) instead of each individual dimension attribute. Looks like this completely doesn't work in 11g. Bug?
I'm hoping my experience improves (quickly)...because this is really really poor. To find this much stuff in less than 10 minutes is really disappointing. New functionality might be great...but if I can't even get basic queries to show results properly, this is useless. Can someone please confirm if these are bugs and/or if I'm not doing something right?
Thanks,
Scott

Just to update item #1, if I add all four columns at the start in the criteria tab, I can then "remove" any of them and they get removed from the results. But if I go to add them back in, again they are not showing up in the results.
Two other dumb questions:
1. Anyone hear info on when 11.1.1.4 will be out?
2. There are like 30+ patches already on support.oracle.com for 11.1.1.3. Do I have to patch all of them?
3. Will the patches address the issues I'm seeing?
Thanks, sorry for the rant, quite frustrated.

Link to OBIEE 11g Dashboard Page from a 10g Dashboard Page

Hi all,
Is it possible to place a Link object on a dashboard page (within OBIEE 10g) and have that navigate to an OBIEE 11g dashboard page?
If so, how is that implemented?
Our 11g and 10g environments are on different servers.
For business reasons (and budgets) we are not migrating our entire 10g environment to 11g just yet.
Thanks.

You can use Go URL as long as they are on same network domain [Go URL|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21043_01/bi.1111/e16364/apiwebintegrate.htm#i1005050]

OBIEE 11g Parent Child hierarchy

Hi,
I'm trying to setup a parent-child hierarchy dimension. I have setup a new hierarchy dimension using numeric keys but want to display another field in the hierarchical column on a report e.g. employee fullname & not the member_key based on a numeric value. Can this be done & how do you do it? All the examples I have seen use varchar2 type columns as the keys to do this.
Thanks in advance, Phil
My Setup
=============
Dimension - logical level
===============
member key = employee_id
parent-child table source
===============
member key = employee_id
parent key = supervisor_id
relationship distance = levels_removed
leaf node identifier = isleaf
Employee logical folder
==============
employee_id ( number)- primary key
full_name (varchar2) - unique key
supervisor_id ( number)
Closure table
=========
employee_id ( number)
supervisor_id ( number)
level ( number)
isleaf ( number)

Thanks for the link Suresh but the aggregations are working correctly.
My problem is only at the display level. I need to create a dashboard that displays the complete hierarchy.
So for example if I have this hierarchy:
- Steven King
- Adam Frip
Alexis Bull
Anthony Cabrio
Alberto Erraruriz
Den Raphaely
I want the dashboard to display immediately that complete hierarchy. If someone adds a member to the hierarchy in the database, the dashboard should display this new member without having to manually modify the dashboard.
- Steven King
- Adam Frip
Alexis Bull
Anthony Cabrio
- Alberto Erraruriz
Mozhe Atkinson
Den Raphaely
Also, if I just manually open the hierarchy and save the dashboard, if "Steven King" is replaced by "Shanta Vollman", the dashboard doesn't like it and returns a result looking like:
- Adam Frip
Alexis Bull
Anthony Cabrio
- Alberto Erraruriz
Mozhe Atkinson
Den Raphaely
+ Shanta Vollman
So I'm looking for some option that will tell OBIEE to open the hierarchy without having to specify "Drill down on member "Steven King"", "Drill down on member "Adam Frip"...
I hope I'm explaining correctly...

OBIEE 11g data flow hierarchy

We have a table location which contains data like
LOC_ID,COUNTRY,STATE,CITY
1,INDIA,KARNATAKA,BANGALORE
2,INDIA,KARNATAKA,MYSORE
3,INDIA,MAHARASHTRA,MUMBAI
4,INDIA,MAHARASHTRA,PUNE
5,INDIA,HARYANA,CHANDIGARH
6,INDIA,DELHI,
Hierarchy is defined on COUNTRY, STATE and CITY.
First we want to display the data as
-----------------------------------COUNTRY
-----------------------------------INDIA
After clicking on INDIA it should drill down to state level
-----------------------------------COUNTRY-------------------------------
-----------------------------------INDIA------------------------------------
STATE-------------STATE----------------STATE----------STATE
KARNATAKA-----MAHARASHTRA----HARYANA------DELHI
After clicking on the state level it should further drill down to
----------------------------------------------COUNTRY------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------INDIA------------------------------------------
----------STATE----------------STATE----------------STATE----------------STATE
----------KARNATAKA--------MAHARASHTRA----HARYANA------------DELHI
CITY------------CITY---------CITY-------CITY------CITY
BANGALORE--MYSORE----MUMBAI--PUNE------HANDIGARH
The arrows also should be visible in the report ....
Please let us know how to implement in OBIEE 11g reports?
Is it possible to use any java scripts to implement the same?

guys I found a work around for this problem, I made a logical column and i used the this expression:
"ALM"."Dim Product"."LEVEL_16_NAME" || ' - ' || "ALM"."Dim Product"."LEVEL_16_CODE" , these two columns contains the desc. and the code for the product
and then I made this column as a key and in the display columns.
it works as i want but still considered a work around.
thanks anyway :)

Action Framework in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I wanted to know whether the action framework in OBIEE allows us to perform some post processing on a report. I need to first obtain a report in OBIEE then swap values in a column based on a mapping table and then email the report to a list of users.
