Briefing Book Page Limit

Hello all,
I am in the process of creating briefing books so that a SPM UI demo can be presented to the client. I was wondering if anyone knew if there is a page limit when adding reports and dashboards to the Briefing book. We anticipate the client will be interested in this information so if anyone has general knowledge in the area this would be quite helpful.
Kind regards,
Danielle

Hi Danielle,
We dont have any hard limit on the number of pages in the briefing book. Having said that please be aware that all the pages of briefing book are loaded at the same time along with the data so more number of pages will effect performance and the briefing book might become unusable after a certain point.
We havent done any scalability test on this however we have added 10-15 pages in a briefing book and that did not cause any significant performance degradation.
Thanks,
Divyesh

Going past the iphoto book page limit

I have just hit the 100 page limit on the iphoto book I am making. Is there any way of getting past the limit or getting a custom book made?

No and no. Perhaps if you try other book makers...

How to change Default number of rows displayed in a Briefing Book

Hi,
We have a requirement to deliver a dashboard containing 7 dashboard pages to the business users.
To achieve this, I have created a briefing book by adding all the required dahboard pages and scheduled an agent to deliver the briefing book in PDF format. However, the briefing book delivered by the agent shows only 25 rows for all the analysis (reports) included in the dashboard pages.
I have already made the following settings:
1. At the report level, edited the table view property to show 150 Rows Per page.
2. At the dashboard page level, edited the PDF and Print properties to Print All Rows.
3. Edited the instanceconfig.xml file to include the following tag under <Table> tag: <DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery>15000</DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery>
Please advise if there is any setting which can help in increasing the default number of rows in a Briefing Book (OBIEE 11.1.1.3).
Thanks & Regards,
Sumit

Hi,
This is a bug in 11.1.1.3
Bug 12671370 - BRIEFING BOOKS DO NOT SHOW ALL ROWS
As a workaround, you may want to click on the "Display Maximum(500) rows per page" button on the dashboard page before you download to Briefing books.This will work for reports with less than 500 rows.

Displaying images in Briefing Book

Hi,
We are using Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition v10.1.3.4.
In OBIEE Answers, we have two reports and one dashboard page that hold these two reports. It is to be noted that the measure columns in both the reports have some images based upon the criteria specified in "Conditional Formatting" for the measure columns.
With the above setup in place, here is the problem scenario:
When we create a Briefing Book and individually add the two reports to it, all works fine. The display generated by "Get Now" and "Print Now" buttons in the briefing book is OK.
However, if we create a Briefing Book and add the dashboard that contains the two reports (and not the reports themselves), then the display that is generated using the "Get Now" and "Print Now" buttons does not show the images in the measure columns - instead it shows a red X mark in place of the images.
If we add either of the report to this briefing book now, the red X marks are replaced by the corresponding images for that report.
In essence, we are not being able to display the images in the measure columns if we add the dashboard page (containg the reports) to the briefing book rather than adding the reports themselves.
Any help is much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Piyush

a few points that i can check
If you can see it in RRP3 then you should also be able to see the sales orders in the Standard SAP planing book based on 9ASNP94 planning area. can you see this?
if so .. your planning area is not set right
check if you have intialized the planning area and if your planning book has the required KF setup properly and similar to what you have set up in the Standard book
Also check if your MPOS that is attached to the new planning area is set up correctly
another point to check is if your selection id is properly selected when you load on to the planning area

Problem with Briefing Books and iBots

I have a question about the usage of Briefing Books and iBots:
In my Briefing Book there are different analysis, some with tables and others with charts and graphs.
The problem is, when I send this Briefing Book to my email by iBot, then the file attached to the email does not contain the charts anymore. There are just the tables left. When I watch the same Briefing Book directly in Answers, everything is displayed all right.
Does anyone know, why this happens.

Hi there
If the page is not actually inside of a Book, the WebHelp generation process will sense that.
If you want a Book, try right-clicking the page in the TOC editor and choose "Create Book from Page". This should create a book with the page inside it. Of course both will have the same name, so you may need to rename the Book. Or rename the page. Your choice.
Cheers... Rick

Cache Seeding using Briefing Books in iBots

Hi All,
I'm trying to seed the cache using Briefing books in iBots.
1. Created the Briefing book of a Dashboard page with required dashboard prompt values
2. Selected this 'Briefing Book' as Delivery Content
3. Scheduled the iBot
But, despite of iBot running successfully, Cache is not being seeded.
Am i missing any steps?
Moreover, in 'Destinations', if i just check 'Interactive Dashboards' & 'Active Delivery Profile',
No cache entries created
But if i check 'e-mail' or any of the devices,
then a cache entry is generated for the default dashboard prompt values* but not for the prompt values selected for the Briefing Book*..
Please help
Thank you,
Raghu

Hello Madan,
Thank you for the reply..
"Oracle BI Server Cache" can only be used for the answer pages/dashboard pages with default prompt values..
Any other way to get the Cache seeded for other prompt values too..
other than the manual seeding
Thank you,
Raghu

Printing briefing book from reader as a PDF

Hi all,
In 10g, is there a way when viewing a briefing book through the briefing book reader, to print as a PDF? Similar in concept to when you're in Answers, open a briefing book, and clicking on the 'Print Now' button.
Thanks.

Thanks, Nico.
I tried that route already. The user would have to print each page one by one. There's 15-20 pages. If all pages can't be saved at once, the user will have to go to Answers to open the briefing book and click the 'Print Now' button. Then they have all pages in one document via one click of a button. Originally, the user didn't want to be bothered with remembering to go into Answers (they don't use Answers much and this metric package is run once a month) so I was going to do this with ibots and send the briefing book reader via email.
Thanks again.

Interactivity within Briefing Book Reader

I was wondering if you create a briefing book .sbb file which is a snapshot of a dashboard, whether there is an option to be able to drill into some of the graphs on the dashboard to their detail level when viewing in the briefing book reader.
For example, if I have a graph on a dashboard and there is a navigation link on one of the measures to be able to drill into a detail report, how do I set up the briefing book to be able to have the same interactivity as the dashboard it came from. Or is the best practice to keep adding pages to the briefing book and view them one at a time without any user interactivity.
Thanks.

Briefing book primarily consists of static reports. So you need to add all the pages to the briefing book. But if you want the same amount of interactivity you can use disconnected analytics. I have blogged about it today here http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/11/23/oracle-bi-ee-101332-working-with-disconnected-analytics-sadis-utility/ if you quickly want to test how it works.
Thanks,

Briefing Books SSM 10.1 SP03 HF1

Hi Experts!
I've just noticed that in SSM 10.1 SP03 HF1 it is neccesary to assign users/context roles a new role including actions: SSM_Viewbriefingbooks and SSM_Createbriefingbook in order to see the Briefing Book tab on SSM frontend. I mention this because I haven't seen any SAP notes regarding this, dislike the need to assign new actions to create and visualize reportes and dashboards.
Hope info is useful to somebody!

Jazmin,
I have had a support case on this and the latest information has been for SP03 that checking/unchecking the Published box can help give this a kick as can going to the page via another client! SP03 HF1 is supposed to resolve this though we have not yet had a chance to test this yet.
To get the status icons to reappear first double check the box is still checked in the Properties section and then run the Scheduler again.
Finding out about the new features that appear in the Service Packs is another thing I have raised in the Ideas Place 'List new features somewhere' D11527. All votes help to raise the profile of these things!

Colin

240 Page Limit

Does the 240 page limit mean actual physical pages or 240 page layouts (half of a front-back combination, resulting in only 120 actual pages in the book)?
Thanks for the help!

The number 240 refers to pages and not to sheets of paper.
This number does not include the front cover and the back cover and their "backsides", on which you can't put contents anyways.
In the Lr Book Module / Multi-Page View there are numbers below each page, and you can go up to 240.
You asked:
" .. or 240 page layouts (half of a front-back combination, resulting in only 120 actual pages in the book)?"
I thought it would be common knowledge that each paper sheet in a book has two (2) pages. Or, are you a philosopy professor?
