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.

Satyabrat

  • 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.
    Thanks,
    Nikita

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

    Invoke Browser Script

    Invoke an HTTP Request
    This is a way to create a simple http GET or POST method, you can google around and find any number of examples on this.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • OBIEE 11g Actions and SSL

    Hi,
    I am attempting to use the action framework within OBIEE 11g, specifically invoke a web service. When I go to New -> Action I get a server error:
    An error occured during processing of the SSL protocol
    1093359936:error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed:s3_clnt.c:1059
    The log viewer in Enterprise Manager gives us
    UNKNOWN_CA alert received from [HOST] - [IPADDRESS]. The peer is rejecting the certificate chain as being untrusted or incomplete.
    We have SSL on and it is working fine everywhere apart from when I try to create the action. I (and my colleagues) have trawled through all the documentation and googled everything we can think of with no success. Has anyone else seen this or maybe has an idea as to what is going on?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Christian
    Thanks for your reply. The BI system is SSl secured so is running over https but I don't even get a chance to select any web service, SSL or not, (or even put in a wsdl url) as the error occurs directly I click on anything that creates a new action. It is therefore an issue with SSL on the BI server itself (or the communication between components) but I am stumped to what it can be.

  • OBIEE 11g: How to send email from Analysis (via Action Framework)

    Hi,
    I have installed OBIEE 11g SampleAppLite in my POC box.
    One of the features I want to have is to allow users to send their feedback (email) about a report to the report owner. Can this be done without launching Outlook? I tried to Invoke a Browser Script and found that I can display a form showing Recipient, Subject and Message text fields, but I do not know how to send the email.
    Thanks!

    Hi Devarasu,
    Thanks for your reply. The link you gave is for sending iBots. But if I do this, users will not be able to send their feedback / comment.

  • Oracle BI EE 11g – Action Framework - Invoke a Java Method from Action links

    Hello All,
       I have a requirement to save OBIEE 11g report into shared drive. I have created a EJB by using the below link and successfully deployed the application in server(bi_server1) .
    http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/09/oracle-bi-ee-11g-action-framework-java-ejbs-and-pdf-watermarks/
    When Im trying to call Invoke a Java method, it is showing "No Content" . Can anybody please share with me the sample "ActionFrameworkConfig.xml" file used for Invoke a Java method.
    My OBIEE version is : 11.1.1.7.131017
    Thanks.

    1. check your t3 port no, in my case it's 7001.
    so i changed "<jndi-url>t3://localhost:9704</jndi-url>" to "<jndi-url>t3://localhost:7001</jndi-url>"
    2. if you run obiee 11.1.1.6.0 above, you don't need below.
    <credentialmap>oracle.bi.actions</credentialmap>
    so please drop this line.
    3. restart your server and check there's no error log when loading ActionFrameworkConfig.xml.
    Good Luck !!!

  • 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.

    Hi,

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • OBIEE 11g - Integrating via external corporate website to OBIEE

    Hi all -
    Unusual challenge, our we offer a hosted application (SaaS) where our users are authenticated on our application. Recently, we've invested in OBIEE 11g and have successfully deployed recommended Oracle Enterprise Deployment. We have a custom security solution (user permissions in Oracle tables, not LDAP), and have not implemented Oracle Identity Mgmt and don't plan to.
    We would like to use GoURL / Action Framework to access Report content, dashboard content, content as port lets embedded in an app dashboard to an iFrame.
    My Question: can we configure OBIEE to accept just "username" without password in a trusted login scenario? we are trying not to expose password in URL (encrypted or clear text).
    We done an exhaustive search to review GoUrl, web service / soap calls, reviewing impersonator passcode techniques (everyone having same pad in initialization block), etc.
    Thank you in advance for your most needed responses,

    There is a good post that lead me on the way to solving this problem here:
    http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2010/07/obiee-remove-whole-portalbanner.html
    The code he posts won't work for 11g, but it's close.
    Paste this code into a text box on each page of your dashboard, make sure you check the box that says "contains HTML"
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var tds = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
    for (var td = 0; td < tds.length; td++) {
    if (tds[td].className != 'HeaderTopBar' && tds[td].className != 'HeaderSecondBar' ) {
    continue;
    if (tds[td].className == 'HeaderTopBar') {
    //alert (tds[td].className);
    var x = tds[td].parentNode;
    //alert (x.className);
    x.removeChild(tds[td]);}
    if (tds[td].className == 'HeaderSecondBar') {
    //alert (tds[td].className);
    var x = tds[td].parentNode;
    //alert (x.className);
    x.removeChild(tds[td]);}
    </script>
