BPC 10 and Dashboards

Hi All,
We are currently trying to integrate an Xcesius dashboard within a BPC 10 workspace however the documentation is rather 'thin' in this area. While trying to follow the BPC 7.5 documentation there are some clear differences in the steps you need to take to deploy a dashboard, particularly in regards to contexts.
Can anyone help me with a how-to or detailed information on this integration?

Hi Paul,
Please post your BPC queries in Community Forums -> Business Process Expert -> select BPC NW or BPC MS (depending upon your BPC version) Forum for faster responses.
Also please mention the BPC 10.0 version which you are working on.
Regards,
Raghu

BPC 5.1 Performance and Dashboards

Hi:
I have BPC 5.1 Installation and cannot find the Performance feature installed.
I have seen this in Demo VMware which is located at http://<<server>>/osoft/performance/default.aspx.
I could not find this and when I checked my server installation I do not have performance folder in my web directory.
Is there a separate installation for performance and dashboards?
Thanks,

I asked this question of product support a few months ago, and received the following response.

Tim,
I am sorry to say but it is not part of the product, it is technically a prototype/custom solution. It will not be supported in 5 nor become part of the commercial product.

How to get a parameter from BPC and use it in ABAP program

Hello gurus!
I got a problem...
SAP BPC will send parameters such as year, division, category, company code and so on via script logic to SAP BW.
I need to get these parameters from BPC and use them in a ABAP program as a filter.
This ABAP program will do several routines and return new values to BPC. It must be made on ABAP and I need to filter data to avoid performance issues.
Does anybody knows how to do it? or have a example of it?
Thank you in advance.

Hello, I'm looking for a suggest.
I need to pass two parameters (users can input them in a data manager package in bpc) to a BAdI.
In this BAdI I write a code that store those parameters in a InfoObject.
The problem is:
- one parameter is for CATEGORY value. CATEGORY is a dimension of the application and I read the value with a code like this:
      READ TABLE it_cv INTO l_s_it_cv
           WITH TABLE KEY dim_upper_case = 'C_CATEGORY'.
- other parameter is a generic DATE. this parameter is not a dimension of the application and I don't know how I can retrieve this value in BAdI.
      READ TABLE it_cv INTO l_s_it_cv
           WITH TABLE KEY dim_upper_case = '.....'.
The data manager dynamic script is:
PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,,,,"%CATEGORY_DIM%")
PROMPT(TEXT,%SELECTED_DAY%,"Write the date (format YYYYMMDD)",)
I also have a dynamic constant that assign the name %CATEGORY_DIM% to "C_CATEGORY" value.
Can anyone help me?
thanks a lot

Safari, iMail, iTunes, and Dashboard won't open

A week ago, Safari, iMail, iTunes, and Dashboard won't open but other applications will, like Mozilla, iPhoto, Word, Excel, etc. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get Safari and the other programs to open? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi, I'm replying to myself to add more information on my case. I wasted half my day yesterday trying to fix this, looking into forums and trying to talk to people about it and there it absolutely no answer. Yesterday I installed the programs necessary to sync my phone in my wife's macbook and nothing bad happened. So I'm guessing it isn't about the phone plugins I installed. I've tried to download combo updates but they crash as soon as I try to install them - I even tried to install a 10.4.10 update.
This is the error message I get:

I put part of in on google to check if there was anybody discussing anything related and someone suggested - bizarrely enough - updating adobe reader. I did it just in case and, of course, it didn't work. I repaired permissions a million times already, I rebooted in safe mode, I scaned the computer with apple jack, I verified the disk with diskutility - which showed nothing. I tried downloading an anti-virus (ClamXav), but I couldn't open it also, I trashed my prefs, I deleted all internet plugins, but still.... nothing. I'm about to quit and take it to the very expensive - yet reliable - authorized tech support apple has in Rio. Any ideas, anyone?

Data and Dashboard Security using ROLES Variable in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I'm currently using OBIEE 11g. I'm wondering how to implement the security for data and dashboard in the 11g.
Below is the sample of how the security matrix requirement when I use the 10g version. In 10g, we usually use GROUP (for the data filter in RPD) and WEBGROUPS (for dashboard objects) variables in my initialization block to read from database. As we have 2 different variables, it is possible to control security separately for data and dashboard.
GROUP | Country
G1 | US
G2 | FR
G3 | UK
WEBGROUPS | Dashboard
WG1 | D1
WG2 | D1
WG3 | D1
WG1 | D2
WG2 | D2
WG1 | D3
WG3 | D3
WG3 | D4
Now, in 11g, the recommendation is to use ROLES variable (for application role). So, how would I apply the required security matrix above in 11g using just ROLES variable? Do I still create G1, G2, G3, WG1, WG2, and WG3 as application roles then only use G1-3 in the RPD to filter the data and only use WG1-3 in the analytics to serve as webgroups?
Any advice on this? Thank you very much.

"...Could you elaborate more?"
I mean that role creation and user->role assignment will be managed outside of to the obiee interface - whether that's via the database, LDAP, fmw etc.
Webgroup creation and assignment is managed within the obiee interface and I think that has a lot of benefits - generally you have people responsible for shared folders and dashboard creation, so having them responsible for webgroups and presentation permissions is preferable for me.
"are you saying that I use the role G1-3 only in the RPD, while using the role WG1-3"
Yes .. I'm assuming you have something like
G1 | US
G2 | FR
G3 | UK
WG1 | Finance
WG2 | Marketing
WG3 | Sales
Which becomes
R1 | US
R2 | FR
R3 | UK
R4 | Finance
R5 | Marketing
R6 | Sales
And John belongs to R1 and R4, Fred belongs to R2 and R4 etc. So you would set your data filters against R1-R3 and use R4-R6 like webgroups in the presentation services.

Robert

Scorecards and Dashboards

Scorecards and Dashboards
According to Harvard Business Review, Balanced Scorecard concept is the most influential management idea in the past 75 years.
The performance of an organization is tracked against four key perspectives such as Finance, Customers, Internal Processes and finally Learning, Innovation and Growth. These perspectives are divided into multiple sets of Key Performance Indicators ( KPIs ) and grouped against these perspectives and further broken from top level to the employee level KPIs. World over companies are moving towards implementing enterprise wide organizational Balanced Scorecard.
Simplicity, personalization and empowerment are the keys while building Agent Dashboards. These goals are achieved through the application of Business Intelligence ( BI ) concepts. A contact center performance is an aggregation of every agent performance.
An Agent should be able to customize and get the unified view of the aggregated metrics and track them on daily basis. How much he has achieved with respect to target? How his performance benchmarked with respect to overall call center performance. Is there performance improvement over a period of time? He can drill down and see which particular KPI is bringing his overall score down and he can see how he has or has not been able to improve his performance over a period of time.
A Supervisor should be able to see how agents under him are performing. His Dashboard should show an aggregated score of all his agents and simultaneously showing tabular information of comparative scores of all agents working under him. He can drill down on agent score who are not performing well. He can see individual KPIs of agents and study whether there are improvements over a period of time under the respective KPI.
Manager would like to see dashboards of aggregated scores of supervisors on weekly basis rather than daily basis. He can drill down till agents individual KPI level if he desires. A manager could also drill down against different channels and see the performance of different supervisors under different channels.
Call Center head would like to see the aggregated performance of his senior managers and across channels and will be interested to track performance against KPIs on monthly basis. He can drill down from manager level right up to the agent level and their individual KPIs to see where the actual pains are located.
Quality Managers would like to see how agents are performing against quality related KPIs. He would further like to analyze poor performing KPIs against type of service requests, type of channel and may be against important set of clients so that specific training programs could be designed for specific sets of agents rather than a plane blanket approach where every one is trained for everything.
In all the performance metrics could be analyzed against multiple dimensions such as channels customers, type of services, location etc. Users down the line are empowered to analyze the data and able to get operational and strategic insights. Hundreds of variants of Dashboards and Reports could be created from a simple single user friendly interactive interface
All above could be simply achieved through web browser and single user interactive interface. Every person in the organization can personalize the dashboard or reports from this single user interface. The power of analysis is coupled into the reporting and dashboard. It is this Business Intelligence capability that creates the unique customer experience in getting the insights of business.

The best practice for creating reports and dashboard

Hello guys
I am trying to put together a list of best practice on how to create reports and dashboards using OBIEE presentation service. I know a lot of those dos and donts are just corporate words that don't apply consistantly in real world environment, but still I'd like to know if Oracle has any officially defined best practice or not.
the only best practice I can think of when it comes to building reports and dashboards is:
Each subject area should contain only one star schema that holds data for a specific business information
Is there anything else?
Please advice
Thanks

Read this book to understand what a Dashboard is, what it should do and look like to be used by the end users. Very enlightentning.
Information Dashboard Design: The Effective Visual Communication of Data by Stephen Few (There are a couple of other books by Stephen and although I haven't read them yet, I anticipate them to be equally helpful.
This book was also helpful to me:

How to create multiple reports and dashboards from one dataset?

Hi there,
I've centralized the data to an excel workbook from multiple data sources and added as a dataset to my new Power BI site. How can I build multiple reports and dashboards out of one dataset?

Hi Kuber,
In the Datasets section on the Navigation pane (left side of your Dashboards page), you can click "..." next to each dataset. One of the options in the contextual menu is Explore. When you explore a dataset, you can create reports and save
them.

Just got some bugs with Dock and Dashboard

Hi!
Been using my mac for 1 year now. Sudden some bugs just came by.
I was using two widgets; "Ordbok" and "TriTrans".
When I now try to use TriTrans I get this: http://bildr.no/view/75953 and I can't enter a search.
When I try to use Ordbok i get this: http://bildr.no/view/75954
I tried to make a new account just to see if I got the same problem and I sudden did. Then I went back to my main account and deleted the Dock, Desktop and Dashboard pref files (in Library/Preferences). Rebooted and tried again. Didn't work.
When I made a new account I also noticed that the Dock had an icon with the "question mark" (this ting: ?). When I hovered it I got: "iMovie". Some icons to the left I got a working "iMovie HD". Where does the iMovie (wannabe) icon come from? (It was a new account).
Anyways, someone now how to fix some of these?
Thanks!
 MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2 Ghz Intel Core Duo, 1 Gb RAM

Ahh, that solves my widget problem. Thanks!
Btw, someone who got any idea of the "question mark" icon I get in the dock when deleting the Dock config file or add new user? It says "iMovie" but beside it I got the "iMovie HD" icon, working.

Performance Manager and Dashboard Manager not showing

Post Author: Darkling
CA Forum: Performance Management and Dashboards
A am unable to get the performance manager and the dashboard manager to show in the CCM or in the CMC. All else works fine.

Post Author: Ferhat
CA Forum: Performance Management and Dashboards
you have to find the keyword to see...
i suggest you to uninstall businessobjects and install again(else it's very hard to add the performance management program).
while you install, check the install performance management also(you have to have the keyword).

Where are the canned reports and dashboards?

I assume I'm missing something obvious here. I'm walking through the installation guide for Informatica users, and that all seems to be working out. I've also done the configuration of the OBIEE repository and loaded that in, so I see the metadata and all the tables/joins etc. But I thought there were canned reports and dashboards included -- where are they? I don't see them mentioned in the documentation and figure there should be a more obvious way to find them than looking at all the directories in the installation...
So... can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

Hi
The canned reports /dashboards are in the catalog. on the machine where you installed BI application, OracleBIData\web\catalog
you will find EnterpriseBusinessAnalytics.zip, then unzip this file and update the instanceconfig.xml and restart the presentation services.
thx

Hi Madhu,
For Scenario 1 : Go to CMC.
Go to : Home > BusinessObjects Enterprise Applcations > InfoView
You can customise Inforview properties and Rights here, like setting up ur logo,style sheets etc.
For Scenario 2: Each User will have to customize their own Infoview.
Go to Infoview. On the top right corner will be 3 icons. Click on the 'Preferences' icon.
In the General tab of preferences you can customise the infoview settings.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!!
