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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Convert BI Publisher report to OBIEE Analytic report

    Hi,
    I have few reports originally designed in Oracle BI Publisher, Now I want them in OBIEE (Analytics).
    Is there any way for conversion ?
    For simple query based reports I have no issue, The problem arises when I have a report with a user prompt as I cannot use direct database queries!

    Hi,
    Please tell me which version you have use. 10g or 11g
    if you are using OBIEE 11g then, New-> under Published Reporting -> Report.
    if you have .rdf file then upload it and saved.
    and simply create dashboard, drag and drop report into dashboard.

  • How to link to a BI publisher report in a dashboard

    I'm trying to link a BIP PDF report in a dashboard but I'm being prompted to login to BIP.
    I have SSO setup so that if I click on more products -> BI publisher it takes me right into BI Publisher. it uses url
    https://xxx:7777/analytics/saw.dll?AdvancedReports&_scid=S3p7sdfasdM
    which then redirects to
    https://xxx:7777/xmlpserver/servlet/report
    If I try to link a report in the dashboard I use the url
    https://xxx:7777/xmlpserver/servlet/report/Plans/Plans.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=0&_xdo=%2FRecovery_Plans%2FPlans.xdo&PROJECT_CODE=200000&_xt=2000000&_xf=pdf&_xmode=4
    when I use this link it goes to the BI publisher login page. If I enter the username and password it takes me to the report.
    If I completely logout and try again this time with a twist it works.
    If I click on more products -> BI publisher ... it takes me to BI publisher. then if I click back and then try the same url that did not work in the previous example it works this time.
    I guess my thought is that we are not using the right URL to call a report from inside BIEE dashboard and not be prompted for a login.
    Thanks for your help.

    You have to use the BI Publisher report object in a dashboard. You have then a link option.
    You will then remark that the link call a javascript object to made use of the SSO capabilities.
    Cheers

    Hello Experts,
    I am trying to give permission to couple of user groups to run the BI publisher reports i have created in Obiee 11g analytics. when they try to run them they error out contact administrator and i have admin rights and i can run the reports.

  • Drilldowns in BI Publisher report embedded within dashboard

    Have created a BI Publisher report in MS-Word, used hyperlinks for drilling down to the lowest level of detail.
    When this report is embedded in dashboard the drilldown links are working correctly but they are opening as BI Publisher report (getting all the controls available OBI Publisher) not as dashboard page.
    Is there any possiblity to drilldown in BI Publisher (viewed as HTML) using expand and collapse button like structure?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • 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,

  • Replace Null With 0 in Pivot Table in a BI Publisher Report (Not OBIEE Answ

    I have a problem with nulls in a pivot table. I got a measure column in my BI Answers analysis and I made a report with a model based in this analysis. When I add a pivot table to my report the 0 measures don't display.
    In first place I found that there's a bug (13054445). I download and ran the patch, then I tried editing data format in my analysis column and in BI Answers and this worked. The 0 displays correctly, but in the report it's still not displaying.
    I tried editing the formula in the analysis with:
    IFNULL(column,0)
    CASE WHEN column IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE column END
    CASE WHEN column IS NOT NULL THEN column ELSE 0 END
    IFNULL(cast("column"as varchar (10)), '0')
    And nothing works
    When I tried this: CASE WHEN column IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE 656565656 END
    in the report the 6565656565 display correctly but the 0 still doesn't display.
    Does anybody know if that is a bug? Or does another option exist that can I try?

    Hi,
    Following on with this post, I followed the document posted and the formula worked fine. I was able to replace nulls with strikethrough in a pivot table. Since combining the report into a compound layout, the strikethrough has reverted back to nulls. Even when just viewing the pivot table, the same applies.
    I have double checked the column properties and the condition(is null) and formatting(strikethrough) still exists but does not take effect in the pivot table.
    I hav also checked that no data exists in the fact table under the null categories and they are true.
    Can anyone help with this problem, I have also removed the condition and re-applied but still face the same problem.
    Thanks

  • OBIEE Integration existing BI Publisher Report

    I am trying to look for a work around exposing BI Publisher report via OBIEE Dashbaord;
    Originally; I used the gadget to link directly to the BI Publisher report and selected the relative path to open; I noticed, in having 10 links on one dashboard that it was hammering performance. When I removed these BI Publisher links Dashboard ran pretty quick. I though originally by selecting 'Link' on Bi Publisher gadget that it was just a link; This assumption doesn't seem to be the case; As work arounds I have tried to use Link and Guided Navigation gagdets; but when I use these (when user selects it doesn't seem to carry user credentials to BI Publisher and requires login)
    Has anyone experienced a similar situation and can anyone think of a work around

  • 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.

  • BI Published Reports vs. OBIEE Analyses

    We have OBIEE 11g integrated with BI Publisher. One of the things we're struggling with is when to use an OBIEE Analysis vs. a BI Publisher Report in our dashboards, especially since BI Publisher reports can call data in the presentation/analysis layer to get its data.
    BI Pub seems to offer some beautiful flash-based 3D charts. Does anyone have an experience on decision criteria as to when to use one tool vs. the other?
    Much appreciated.
    thank you.
