Adding extrinsic reports to OBIEE dashboard

Hi
I would like to present a Panorama (OLAP) reports in the Oracle dashboard.
The in the current condition we are working with Panoramas dashboard how has several dashboard pages with dashboard page prompt.
We are starting to build the OBI dashboard and our ambition is to work only with one dashboard.
Is it possible to integrate the Panorama objects (single reports on OBI page or whole page).
What is the best practice in that case ? all the Panorama reports should be prompted in one way or another.
Please advice.
Moshe

Last time i heard Panorama was acquired by Microsoft? So, are you talking to about the integration of BI EE with SQL Server Analysis services? If not then it is not possible to integrate Panorama with OBI EE. The admin tool cannot source Panorama objects and also there is no straightforward way of calling Panorama reports/dashboards into OBI EE. Though you could use iframes, if panorama has a web interface but again that is not integration.
Thanks,
Venkat

BI Publisher report in OBIEE Dashboard

Hi,
I have a BI Publisher report that consists of:
-SQL Based Report
-Has 2 date parameters
This report is independent of any data source OBIEE, ie there is no repository for the data shown in the BI Publisher report.
I need to show this report in OBIEE dashboard with parameters. The report should get a parameter from a prompt / dynamic var.
I have understood according, there are two methods for achieving this:
1. Create a BI Publisher Report using BI Answers report as the data source wherein the BI Answers report would have one of the column’s filter clause as “is prompted”.
2. Create a BI Publisher Report using BI Answers/Database as data source. Create a parameter for the BI Publisher report and then match this parameter name while assigning the presentation variable for the dashboard prompt.
But I can not implement this, because my BI Publisher report is independent of any data source OBIEE.
There a way to solve this?
Thanks in advance!

When you create the parameter in Report, and embed that in BIPublisher report section, it will display the parameter in the embedded content itself.
see, if you can make use of this.

BI publisher report on OBIEE dashboard in a particular format

Hi All ,
We have a situation wherer we need to show a BI Publisher report on the OBIEE dashboard .
The Dashboard has a prompt on 'Year' and 'Quarter'.The issue we are facing is ,based on the prompt value the report column header should also change.
e.g :
Year=2003 , Quarter=3
It should give us the revenue for different Products for last four quarter :
Product----------------------2003 Q3---------2002 Q4--------2002 Q3--------2002 Q2---------20002 Q1
Airconditioner----------------100----------------200----------------300--------------400-----------------234
Refrigerator-------------------145----------------208----------------350--------------467-----------------264
Example 2 :
Year=2004 , Quarter=4
It should give us the revenue for different Products for last four quarter :
Product----------------------2004 Q4---------2004 Q3--------2004 Q3--------2004 Q1---------2003 Q4
Airconditioner----------------100----------------200----------------300--------------400-----------------234
Refrigerator-------------------145----------------208----------------350--------------467-----------------264
How can we acheive this column header.
Please advice.
Thanks!!

Hi,
based on the prompt value the report column header should also change. You want to change the value of the column heading dynamically based on prompt.You will get this by using the Presentation variable.So,you have to integrate both the bi publisher+rpd.

BI Publisher report in OBIEE Dashboards

Is there a way to generate the view the BI Publisher report automatically, currently it is asking the user to click the View Report button , "Click View Report to generate report"!
Appreciate your suggestions.
Regards
Bees

Have you selected 'Auto Run' option under Report -> Properties for the report? That should allow you to view output without clicking the view buttion. However, it will use the default parameters..
Is your report parameterized? If so, users will have to select/modify the parameter selection and click view to view the results..
Thanks!

Browser performance issue when Calling BI Publisher report from OBIEE dashb

Hi Techies,
We installed OBIEE 10.1.3.3 on SunOS 5.9 unix box.This is PROD env.We are calling BIPublisher report from OBIEE dashboard by clicking the BIP reports link on OBIEE dashboard.After clikcing the link BIPublisher report is opening in another browser window.But is it taking time.
Plz tell me how can we reduce the time taken to open BIPublisher report window when we cilck on the report name in OBIEE dashboard
Thanks,

Suresh
There is no out of the box method to get the EBS report to OBIEE. You could look into moving the EBS report to a mountable web server directory after it completes and then show it in OBIEE via a link or html object. You will need to rename the report of course, every time you run it its going to change names.
In an after report trigger you could call a small java class to move and rename the file for you.
Alternatively, recreate the report in the standalone version. Be aware that you are going to have to set orgs yourself, BIP is not aware of orgs outside of EBS

Report Not Appearing Dashboard

Hi,
I have added a report to the dashboard.
Report has Title,Table and Filter View.
I have page prompts for that report.
The report is appearing properly when it meets the prompt condition.
When there is no data matching the prompt condition.It should show no results and filter view. But nothing is coming on the dashboard.*
I can able to see dashboard links but nothing else is coming.
I am not getting any error or warning.
Is there any solution for this?
Thanks,
Satheesh

Hi,
In Compound Layout we have the option ->Other Views -> No Results View click on that and Edit the No Result view and Type what you want in Text portion.

OBIEE Report Export from Dashboard to Excel doesn't suppress the columns as

OBIEE Report Export from Dashboard to Excel doesn't suppress the columns as expected even after the properties are set to Suppress in the report. In Dashboard it is suppressed Properly but in the excel export it is not suppressed and values for the columns are repeated.
Added the following to the instanceconfig :
<Download>
<Export xsi:type="excel">
<DataValue>UseFormattedValue</DataValue>
<RepeatRows>false</RepeatRows>
</Export>
</Download>
But then could not restart services.The following error occured :

Problem solved!!
 
See this part of the query:
 
if :P15_GESTOR_PROPIETARI='-3' then 
w:= w||' AND (("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID"=:GESTOR '; 
w:= w||'OR "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID_ESTA_ASSIGNADA"=:GESTOR)'; 
w:= w||'OR ("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."AGR_***_***_ID"=:P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB ';
w:= w||' AND "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."PUBLICA"=''S''))'; 
end if; 
 
when instead of :P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB I put a value (say ''EE'') it works correctly, finally I created an application item (ASSOCIAT) and when when I change :P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB I set :ASSOCIAT to the same value and the query is based on this application item:
 
if :P15_GESTOR_PROPIETARI='-3' then 
w:= w||' AND (("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID"=:GESTOR '; 
w:= w||'OR "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID_ESTA_ASSIGNADA"=:GESTOR)'; 
w:= w||'OR ("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."AGR_***_***_ID"=:ASSOCIAT '; 
w:= w||' AND "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."PUBLICA"=''S''))'; 
end if;

Do we have any option to track the number of downloaded reports from the OBIEE dashboard or Analysis by the user using usage tracking.

Do we have any option to track the number of downloaded reports from the OBIEE dashboard or Analysis by the user using usage tracking.

I'll ask the question of our onsite Microsoft consulting guys, but it's my understanding that as enterprise admins, we have no controls over it. This is an outcome of putting the end-users in charge of their own destiny.
We can revoke a user's entitlement to Office365ProPlus in the portal and via scripts, but AFAIK only the user controls the allocation of their entitlement.
Revoking an assignment/allocation, when logged in as the user, doesn't require access to the assigned/allocated computer, but if the information about the assigned/allocated computers in the portal is vague or ambiguous, it's easy to revoke the "wrong" one.
There's not much here in this forum about the hosted/cloudy aspects, since this forum is mainly about the client-side bits (the client applications, setup and configuration of those) - so in here, I usually refer people off to the O365 community for the
portal and hosted stuff.
(we have MS onsite at the moment for a big planning piece, around O365 and also Win8.1 and VDI. I'm not usually this lucky to have those guys on tap ;)

Migration of Discoverer 1g reports to OBIEE

we are trying to migrate reports from Discoverer 10g to OBIEE 10.1.3.4.We have migrated the EUL using the utility tool provided by OBIEE.
Now we were trying to use the sample reports and migrate the same to OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
We are using a sample xml which we will be using to migrate the reports .We have a web service which takes report inputs in this XML format, converts and save OBIEE reports.
SInce OBIEE does not have tabs(worksheets) like Discoverer,we thought
we will have to prepare xml for each tab and present it as a single
report in OBIEE.
1) Can u please suggest if this is right or there is some
workaround for it or if anyone has idea about it?
We could also do some changes to the xml to incorporate some functions of discoverer if anyone has suggestions.
We are assuming that Crosstab reports are similar to Pivot tables in OBIEE.
2) But we are not sure how to incorporate the page items in thexml.plz suggest if anyone has ideas since not sure if page items can be handled in OBIEE.
3) Can someone help us in completing with this below xml by taking example of the sample reports present in discoverer.The values of reports are to be included in the xml
Any help would be great since we are trying this for the first time and we are not well versed with xml too.Please find below the sample xml we are using
- <OBIEE version="10.1.3.4">
- <report Name="" subjectareaname="">
- 
- <filters>
- 
- <filter type="" SQLDefinition="" operator="" negate="" includeNULLs="">
<filterValue dataType="">VALUE/sqlExpression</filterValue>
</filter>

Hi,
I opened the Discoverer administrator and clicked on export.
in next step i selected the option "Selected obects in the end user layer" for "what do u want to export"?
i choose workbook and selected the sample workbook "Video Tutorial workbook"
Then i gave the name "Video Sales Tutorial" and saved the file in a folder and selected the check box "generate xml for exported workbooks"
I got the file in the folder as Video Sales Tutorial.eex.That .eex file had details of the workbook name and all other information
<UniqueIdent ConstraintName="DOC1" Batch="False" DeveloperKey="VIDEO_TUTORIAL_WORKBOOK"/>
But to get these workbook details we have to always save the workbook in the DB.We cannot save the workbook in our file system.
Am i right?Since only workbooks which are in DB can be exported.
Thanks a lot for the info.Will try to analyze this information

Thanks in Advance

2. Click this report Guided Navigation Properties --> Reference Source Request -- YES then ----select this report path into -- Source Request- then Show section--- select this option (If request returns Noting).
3. The out put like if there is no date you will get NO Result report.
Please do work around here.
Award points it is useful.
