BI Publisher report - Dashboard Integration Issue

Hi,
I have a problem when trying to display a Publisher Report at Analytics Dashboard.
I'm working in OBIEE 11g. I like integrate the BI publisher to show the result set on Analysis (Answers), so, I used presentation variables to send the dashboard prompts values.
The problem is that sometimes, when I select a value in the prompt, display "loading" process, but never displayed the data. (I noticed that the browser above shows an error related to a javascript - something like Expected ')' URI: <server>/xmlpserver/js/xdo_viewer_dreamscape)
Thanks
Dag.

Dag,
I would first ensure that you can pass the parameters correctly without using a presentation variable. Just make sure it works with the basics.
Also ensure that you are integrating the parameter passing correctly. Follow this guide to ensure your passing of parameters is taking place correctly,
http://www.biconsultinggroup.com/oraclebiblog/2009/7/3/bi-publisher-and-obiee-integration-with-dashboards-prompts.html
That should work.
Let me know.
Cheers,

Intermittent Blank Rows coming in BI Publisher Report output

Hi,
We are working on a BI Publisher report output.
Issue
The report sometimes creates a blank row along with the headings of the report columns. Table has multiple records and between 2 records we have a data being displayed which is optional. When this record is null, it is creating an extra space and hence creating a new page with the headers and a blank row.
Reducing the space is one issue we have thought of. Are there any other pointers to this.
Thanks
Ishani

Hi,
I did not got the complete thing but as you told you need to remove the blank space in the report and at the same you told when a column returns null the row get displayed as blank row.
Then can you try using the Conditional region so that when ever you find the column value as null so you can hide that row.
Just try it i donot no if your requirement is exactly like this or what.
Thanks.

Issues with BI publisher report in dashboard

Hello all,
I got some issues about BI publisher reports in a dashboard.
I use a dashboard prompt in combination with a BIP report.
1.) I don't want to see the publisher control bar in my dashboard. Now you can't view the report anymore after using the dashboard prompt. Because it says you have to press the view button which is on the publisher control bar.
So when I add the bar. Then I have first to press on go in the dashboard prompt and after that I have to press on view in the publisher control bar.
2.) When I open my dashboard I see a scroll bar in my BIP report. Now when I use the dashboard prompt, it disappears. So I can't view the entire report anymore
3.) I like to develop in english, but the test must be in dutch. Now I have a english dashboard with a dutch control bar. Also logging in to BIP in english and then navigating to analytics will not help.
4.) I can't use I-bots on BI publisher reports, or can I?
5.) This is not really an issue, but more like a problem but I want that users can view the BIP report on the dashboard only in HTML, but I want that they only can export to excel, is this possible?
Hoping for some answers ;)
Thanks in advance!

Hi Venkat,
Thanks for your quick respond.
1.) Auto Run is enabled. And the report runs automatically as well. But then it ignores the dashboard prompt (as a regular report would do as well). But when I choose some values in the prompt and then press go. Then it says I have to press on view as well.
2.) no that is not the case. My report is so big that it always need a scroll bar ;) also adjusting the size settings in the dashboard doesn't help. The only occurs when viewing in HTML, when previewing in excel or RTF it all just work fine.
3.) true, but ow well this is the least importetant one ;) so if this doesn't work, than it doesn't work ;)
4.) Ok, I will have a look on that.
5.) I did enabled HTML and EXCEL outputs in my BIP report. But when the first point is working, then I don't want to see the control bar anymore and I want to have the output on the dashboard in HTML and then I want to build a button, or a link or something that exports the request to excel. Is that possible?

Integrating Dashboard / Publisher report into another application

Hi,
We do have a requirement in one of our applications, which is on Tomcat server. Where in we need to integrate an existing Dashboard and Publisher report to this application.
And it should not be through GO URL, where i need to specify the username & password and presentation services tries to create new session each time the page is called.
Hope some one helps in guiding us to achieve this.
Thanks in Advance

Vaidya,
Let me rephrase what you are looking for...
1. You dont want to embed the Webdynpro link into the template but would rather embed it as an object
2. You want to run the web dynpro when the WAD page is launched...
This is for 7.0 right..?
As for embedding the web dynpro as an object as opposed to a link ...? any reasons why - is it because you dont want users to see the link in the HTML source ...?
Even if they do - I am not sure how web dynpros work ( rusty on that front ) but then you should get a session ID when you launch the web dynpro right ..? which would obviate any reasons for the users to see the link
Possibly have it included as a button using Javascript ..?
If you want the webdynpro to launch when the WAD runs - then you could have an onload function in javascript that can do the same....

Inserting a link to BI Publisher report and passing the dashboard prompts

I have an answers dashboard where there are various prompts (say P1, P2, P3, P4 -all these are date prompts )and various reports.
These Prompts are stored as Presentation variable say var1, var2, var3, var4.
I need to insert a Link on this page to a BI Publisher Report. BI Publisher report also has some prompts say D1, D2, D3 , D4, D5, D6
The link should take the values from the prompts of this page and open the BI Publisher report with D1= value of Prompt P1,
D2= value of prompt P2, D3= value of Prompt P3, and D4= value of Prompt P4.
I was easily able to use an action link -> "Navigate to Web Page" option. I gave the URL for this BI Publisher report and clicking on that link takes me to the report.
But I am still figuring out out to send the values of the prompts.
The BI Publisher Report is :
- built from an RTF template.
- uses a SQL Query with Bind variables to get the value of its prompts D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6.
- Suppose D1 is bind variable :date1, D2 is bind variable :date2, D3 is bind variable :date3 and D4 is bind variable :dat4.
So my first try was to append the value of bind variable to the URL
https://xxname.server.com/analytics/saw.dll?bipublisherEntry&Action=open&itemType=.xdo&bipPath=%2FSurvey%2FPhoneCount%20Record.xdo&path=%2Fshared%2FSurvey%2FPhoneCount%20Record.xdo.xdo&date1=var1
Can someone suggest the steps I need to take to make this work.
Thanks

Passing filters to hyperlinks in BI Publisher-Obiee 11g integrated report

Hi,
I've a report requirement to build a BIP report in integration with OBIEE.
In my dashboard, I've a dashboard prompt, obiee reports and a BIP report.
BIP report contains hyperlinks (created in template builder) which direct me to the obiee report pages.
Now, when u apply the prompts, BIP report filters the data accordingly and displays it in the same page. (OBIEE reports also gets filtered accordingly).
After this, when I click on the hyperlinks it takes me to the obiee page which is NOT filtered according to the prompt.
So I would like to know how do I use the filters in these links?
Can I please get some help on how to make this work? This is an urgent requirement!
Thanks,

Hi,
You can try these steps
On the BI Publisher 11.1.1.5, Go to Administration --> System Maintenance --> Server Configuration. Under the catalog heading,Test Connection. If the connection is successful, then click on the button Upload to Bi Presentation Catalog".
After the above step you should be able to see your folder under catalog.
Let me know if this helped.

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.

Pass Input Values to BI Publisher Report Layout from BI Answers Dashboard

Has anyone been able successfully pass user input values from a BI Answers dashboard prompt into a BI Publisher report? I'm trying add user inputted text (notes, comments) into a report he/she runs.
I've been trying with no success. I've matched the name of the presenation variables in Answers to the parameter definitions in BI Publisher.
I've declared the parameter in the RTF template as below:
1. Declaration
<?param@begin:param1?>
2. retrive value:
<?$param1?>
If i run it directly from BI Publisher, there is no issue. When I pass the value from an Answers dashboard, the text is never displayed in the report?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Urgent Please: Cannot publish Reports to the Sharepoint Integrated - Reporting Services Login

Hi,
Sharepoint 2010 / SQL Server 2008 R2
The user I am using in BIDS to deploy the reports has Admin permission to the site collection and databases.
Reporting Services Login prompt all times and I can´t go ahead to publish the reports.
I ve reviewed my deployment properties -
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb283155(SQL.90).aspx
The same test works to my dedicated server (Sharepoint and SQL Server in the same machine) but not to the enviorement bellow:
Server 1 - SSED, SSAS, SSRS, Sharepoint Web Front (minimal installation)
Server 2 - Sharepoint Server 2010 (SSRS Sharepoint Integration Mode)
I´ve read all the discussions and articles I couldn´t find anything conclusive.
Please, any clues?!
Thanks in advance,
Alex Berenguer

Hi Syed, thank you so much for your help. I have already spent many hours in order to solve this issue but nothing so far.
The Web Application I created to test it has a Business Intellicente Center as Site Collection. The Report Services features is running on it. I checked it. Thanks.
Follow more details I ´ve discovered:
Here's the scenario:
I have a Web Front End (WFE) server, and an Application Server (AS) in a Sharepoint 2010 Farm. The configuration database, content database, etc.. are located on a clustered SQL 2008 R2 instance on another set of machines. I have installed SQL
2008 R2 Reporting Services w SP1 on the AS. I have installed the SQL 2008 Reporting Services Add-In for Sharepoint 2010 on the WFE. I have gone through all the configuraiton settings, set the SPNs for the service accounts, etc... The Excel Services
with external data, for example, is working fine.
When the reporting services integration is set to "Trusted Account", I can deploy reports to the server with no problem, EXCEPT that I can't deploy data sources that use "Windows Authentication" as their credentials, which is desirable for our implementation.
When I switch the reporting services instance to "Windows Authentication", I can no longer deploy projects to the report server. When I go to deploy the reports, I continually get a "Reporting Services Login" prompt, showing the server it is being deployed
to, and requesting a username and password. No combination of username and password works.
Here's a fun little bit for you too, if I continue to try to login to the server, I will eventually (after hitting the GPO threshold) lock out my account from Active Directory. This I found out after nearly creating a set of tracks down my scalp all
day today trying to figure out what was happening to my sharepoint sites while I was debugging this....
So it seems that it is trying to authenticate my login credentials through BIDS, but is unable to do so.
Also, when I attempt to "Manage Datasource" directly through the Sharepoint interface I am getting 401 errors.
I appreciate any assistance.
Thanks a lot.

How to show the Dashboard Filter Promts in a BI Publisher report?

Hi,
I have a problem when trying to pass Dashboard Prompt Filters from OBI Analysis to a Publisher Report?
Im working in OBIEE 11g. Where I simply can integrate the BI publisher to show the same result set as shown in the Analysis (Answers) Report.
I have also created dummy tables in my Analysis Report that shows the presentation variables from the prompts and I have also one dummy table that shows a session variable with a String when the DW was updated.
I use these dummy tables to be able to pass the promt values to BI Publisher.
The problem I have is that...
I can see that the Strings I have Prompted in my Analysis Report, but only the default values are shown in my BIP report.
-It works fine with my session variable that I display as a string in a dummy table as well as in the BIP report.
-Is there any other way to show the prompted Filters as information in a BI Publisher report??????
Thanks,
Ken

Is there a reason why you don't use the presentation variables directly to filter the BI publisher report?
If you use the presentation variables, then ensure that the presentation variables associated with the prompt exactly matches the BIP report parameter name. In this case, you can create another datamodel with a sql that selects the parameters. for example: select :param1, :param2 from dual. In that case, the xml will include the parameter values and you should be just able to insert the param fields in the template.
Thanks!

BI publisher reports LOV paramter is not working in Dashboard

All,
I have a BI publisher report with parameters list of values. The publisher report is working fine when I run the report and select one or 2 more more values form this (LOV) parameters.
Now I created new dashboard prompt with presentation variable set to the same name as the above parameter in publisher. Added both this dashboard prompt and BI publisher report on the dashboard page. everything works as long as I select only 1 value from this parameter. As soon as I select more than one value I get error. After checking in the log file I see this error

Hi Matt,
You didn't mention but do you also wish to install the database(8i) on the same machine ?
I am also trying to install all these products(+8i and designer 6i) on the same box but I am concerned more about the min. resources needed before I get started.(I put up a question about it on the 6i Forum, but nobody has answered yet !)
The correct install order should be Forms/Reports 6i then Forms/Reports 6i Server and then WebDb 2.2.
Forms /reports server needs a http listener and installs en configures the WebDb listener for the job.(you are prompted for this during tho have the install process).This is handy if you are intending to use WebDb anyway. When you install Webdb it detects the already installed WebDb listener and does not reinstall.
You do have the SYS password on the database you will use to stored the WDK and WebDb schema.
About installing the demo.....
I dont' think there are any special issues.I have never done it.
If you are intending to install an 8i database on the same box there are some important things to consider with respect to the install order and what products in which Oracle home must be installed.
1.Forms/Reports first in the default_oracle
home.
2.Then Oracle 8i in a 2nd oracle home call
it ora81 for example.
3.Then WebDb in the non oracle 8i home !!
This is just a quick summary.
If you run into any problems let me know
Good Luck.
Dave.
