Bursting and OBIEE content

I am trying to use BI Publisher to burst a report whose datasource is OBIEE content (either an Answer or built from a subject area) but am encountering an java "null pointer" error.
I am able to successfully burst reports whose content is directly from a database.
Is this a known limitation of bursting, that it cannot occur on OBIEE content within BI Publisher?

sayakHi Sayak,
Read through the content of this in MOS: Integration Of Obiee In 8.1.1.3: "OBIEE content cannot be displayed in the IFRAME" [ID 1296232.1]
Although applying the security setting is a workaround to fix this problem, oracle highly recommends to use Virtual IP or single OHS/Apache/IIS solution be adopted instead.

  • Backup of OBIEE Dasboard and KPI content

    Hi All,
    I have a OBIEE Dashboard that I developed. Now I wanted to take a backup of the same. For this I took Oracle DB .dmp backup and also .rpd backup of repository. Now the Answers and OSSM content backup I am not able to get how I should. Request you to guide me on the same.
    Also can someone guide me steps on connectivity with Hyperion Planning. Is it the case that only Essbase connects with the Repository or Planning can also. Also can Oracle DB base and Essbase Hierarchy coexist. If yes then do we need to merge the two in BMM layer.If yes then how?
    Warm Regards

    Hi,
    To Take backup of Catalog where your reports,dashboards are stored,
    Naviagte into ORACLE_INSTANCE >bifoundation > OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent > COMPONENT_NAME > catalog > Your Catalog.
    so here you need to copy the entire catalog and paste in some other location as backup.
    Mark if Helpful.
    Thanks

  • ODTUG Kaleidoscope 2009 : What OBIEE Content Would You Like To See?

    Hi All,
    I'm one of the track chairs for the upcoming ODTUG Kaleidoscope 2009 conference, in Monterey USA next June. I'm interested in any thoughts any forum members would have on the OBIEE content you'd like to see at the conference, and to encourage forum members to submit abstracts for sessions you'd like to run.
    In particular, this year, I'm interested in seeing if there is any interest in more advanced OBIEE features, given that the product has been out for a couple of years now and developers are getting pretty experienced with it. Is there any interest in sessions such as these?
    - Performance tuning OBIEE queries (perhaps focusing on federated queries, or where aggregates are used?)
    - Clustering, high availability
    - Best practices around OBIEE data modeling (the common enterprise sematic layer)
    - Experiences around bring OLAP data into the semantic model (perhaps from Essbase or MS AS, maybe in a hybrid arrangement with relational data)
    - Integrating OBIEE with other applications (via web services, via GO URL etc)
    - Informatica or ODI mappings in support of the BI Applications.
    If you've got any ideas, either add them to this forum post, or add them here:
    http://www.odtugkaleidoscope.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=62
    If you're interested in submitting an abstract, the relevant web page is here:

    I find that interface quite confusing. The LR posts are all intermixed with Photoshop, Carousel and other tangential programs.
    Plus you find LR3 era suggestions appearing before LR4 ones. (because somewhat had left a more recent comment)
    They need to enable some better sorting a organizational options for it to be truly usefull.

    Go to the support site for the provider of the MRI software.
    Sounds like it windows/PC. I have ran across that for the CDs that veterinarians provide for digital x-rays.
    I would try on a PC or on yuur Mac with Windows via BootCamp or a virtual machine like VirtualBox

  • Problem with Left Click (mighty mouse) and flash content

    Hi, first sorry for my bad english...
    Well I have an issue with the left click (i have mighty mouse) and flash content in Firefox:
    if i'm using Firefox and then change to any other app, when i get back to firefox i have no left click anymore...
    So i have to open the mouse setting panel and everything works fine again...
    I don't want to open the mouse panel over and over again to fix that, so what i can do?
    THANKS in advance =)

    Hi, Guys!!
    And you have some right cosmic_hippo , Why?
    Well think that the real problem it's something between Firefox and Flash content...
    because if i use Safari and i try make what i describe in the first post, i don't have any problem with the mouse settings.
    Only Happens when i use Firefox...
    Cheers.
    Well the issue is still there...

  • I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same computer, against two different Apple IDs. When I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message?

    I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same Windows 8 computer, and when I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message. Is it possible to have two different Apple IDs on the same computer?

    Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value).  You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
    In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
    Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
    Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
    Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
    The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these).  Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
    In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above.  As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

  • Hi - HELP PLEASE - I have had a bad bug, now fixed, But Have Lost the Library in iTunes - how can I transfer the music and artwork content of my iPone back to iTunes so that I have a base library again

    Hello - can someone help me please - I am not really well versed in modern electronics
    So, as I mentioned in my heading which is rather long (sorry lol) I have had a bad computer virus, now fixed, which has lost me a lot of information. This includes the content of ,my iTunes Library and my ability to access it.
    So, can someone help me by telling me how I can gethte music currently in my iPhone back in to the Music Library in my new version of iTunes. Aslo hiow do I now get Album Artwork in to iTunes as well - iI recall that it was really easy when I set it up but this new version is causing me all sorts of heartache when I tried just now - hence my plea for help.
    I hope you can help and that I can hear fromoyuvery soon
    Thanks guys 
    Keith

    iDevices are not backup devices.
    Use the backup of the computer to put the content back on the computer.
    If not backup exists and the content was purchased via iTunes, connect the device and select File > Transfer purchases.  This will not restore playlists, playcounts or any other library specific data.
    If the media was not purchased via iTunes, search google for ways to extract it from the iPhone.
    Whatever you do, going forward make sure you back up your media and other important files regularly.

  • How do I get folders and their content to show up in the "Administrative Console"?

    We have added a few sub folders under the “webroot” folder. I did this so I could make a custom web page that generates the code need to display the video in a web page if it is one of the folders.
    My question is how do I get these folders and their content to show up in the “Administrative Console”?
    Also how do I get the videos to be logged?
    I have looked through the Server.xml and Application.xml files and the fms.ini but do not see any place, Am I not looking for the correct setting?
    Attached is a pic of the folders.
    Thanks
    Chip

    If Apache and MS do not talk to each other then where or should I be making these folders, some other location?
    Maybe under the vod folder under applications?
    Where in the “Flash Media Server” pdf would this be talked about?
    Would I edit the Application xml file?
    I am so new it hurts!
    Thank you,

  • Mixing static and dynamic content in a single outputText value causes NPEs

              value='<link href="' /><h:outputText escape="false" value="#{myBean.styleSheet}"
              /><h:outputText escape="false" value='" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />' />So is the problem that I am mixing dynamic and static content with a single value? If so, why does it work on the first view, and not after?
    If it matters, I'm using the reference implementation version 1.1 (as included with NetBeans 5.5RC2) on SuSE 10.0 w/ JDK 1.5_09.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Yes, that's how I originally had it, but then changed it to the outputText approach since a single tag could do what I wanted, as long as I was allowed to mix static and dynamic content within a single value.
    I think this is a bug in JSF 1.1, since if what I am doing is illegal, it should throw an exception on the first page view, not work on first view and throw an exception on subsequent views. I'm guessing that this has something to do with the fact that on first page view it only runs the restore view and render response JSF phases, while on subsequent requests all of the phases will be run, and it's in one of those other phases that the exception is thrown.
    For now, multiple tags is the work-around, I guess.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Mac OS 10.5 /
    I deleted the " Private" folder ... and emptied the trash. So the folder and its contents no longer exists on my computer at all !!!
    I do have the OS 10.5 dvd that i purchased years ago...
    But my computer will not start from it on its own.
    My question is what is the open source or terminal language code used to tell my mac to look in the DVD rom drive for startup info?  I know that im not the only person in this world who has deleted the "PRIVATE" folder and emptied the trash so it no longer exists on their machine...
    That said theres gotta be a common fix for a Power PC G4 that has the OS X dvd in the rom drive but wont look to it to reinstall the vital contents of the PRIVATE folder.
    Once again there is not a copy of this file or its contents in the recycle bin...
    Also rebooting the machine , pressing and holding the letter C does not prompt the machine to look to the dvd rom drive.
    I was reinstalling pro tools and figured I would make some room by cleaning my computers HD...
    Lol It was a bad choice to delete this file ...
    Thanks guys

    Okay sorry it took forever to respond... But for a while there I gave up on this computer!!!!
    Money's been tight lately , so taking it in to a professional was not yet an option... though I did consider it eventhough.
    Anyway long story short im glad I didnt spend any money because I already had all the tools necessary to fix this issue but was going about it in the wrong way. Okay so here is my scenario and the breakdown... Though this may not fix the issue for everyone :( which *****... But I know we all will have different circumstances.
    Anyway here we go...
    Okay so first things first....  Years ago I purchased the OS 10.5.1 disk ... So that has always been in my possession!!!!
    I realize that some may not have a disk to reflash your OS to your hard drive... but if you do your in luck.
    2ndly ... I had an external harddrive with all of my itunes downloaded music so it was more than okay with me to delete my primary HD because all the important stuff could either be copied over or repathed to be located.
    -------If you dont want to read through the whole story the fix is summed up in the bottom section-------
    Okay so now the SOLUTION!!!!
    By trial and error , and pure boredom I opened up my computer to clean the inside...
    AND
    "Disconnected the primary HD"
    and just because ....... REBOOTED my computer. Just to see what it would do.
    Upon restart and though it looked like it would repeat its usual cycle...
    About 1 minute in to that process my computer froze for about 2 seconds and flashed to the OS installation screen.
    Mind you I havent seen this screen yet... Probably hasnt been since I installed the OS years ago.
    After a bit of trial and error...
    I decided to tell my computer to startup from the OS 10.5 disk located in my dvd rom drive and restarted once again...
    this setting is under
    Utilities / startup disk
    After a little more trial and error ... I realized that I could reconnect the primary HD , restart the machine and return to the OS installation menu.
    So upon this discovery
    I went to the Disk Utility located under Utilities
    Highlighted my primary HD located in the left hand column
    Once highlighted ...
    In the heading section on the right I selected the option
    Erase
    in which I erased My current OS on my primary HD ...
    I used the first option in the list under security... Because it seemed like the least invasive and would take the least amount of time to see if this process would actually work.
    I FORGOT to add something... 
    Another reason why I deleted my primary HD!!!!!
    I forgot to say that it WOULD NOT!!!!! Show up in the STARTUP list as an option...Even After multiple reboots....
    But like clockwork... Once I deleted its name IT SHOWED UP as an option!!!!
    So back to the next step...
    I returned to the STARTUP option under utilities ... And was then able to see MY primary HD now as a startup option...
    But ofcourse it had no name because it we previously erased it.
    So when Clicking my newly erased HD ... I was almost immediately prompted to REINSTALL the OS ...
    Which said it would take about 57 minutes ... But I believe was alot less...
    My issue was resolved ... My computer then stated the install was SUCCESSFUL!!!!!!! :))))))))))) lol ;)
    It was like I was setting up for the first time ;) asking for my registration info...
    The dilemma of deleting the private folder and emptying the trash is finally over resolved. Done ... and no extra money spent!!!!!!!!! 
    Its really crazy that the information for such a simple thing is not readily available. Especially being such a simple fix.
    I know im not the only person who's had this issue , because i've seen numerous posts with similar wording.
    I also know I wont be the last person to have this issue... So I hope this synopsis makes sense.
    -------One more time the fix------
    *Insert your OS dvd into your dvd rom drive.
    *Unplug your primary HD or corrupted startup disk
    *Reboot your machine...
    Upon restart your primary HD will not be recognized...
    * you will then be prompted to select your language.
    Once selected
    *Click Utilities/startup... Highlight the the selection that refers to the OS dvd located in the dvd rom drive.
    * Click restart...
    !!!!!!!!!!Be sure to reconnect your Primary HD Before your computer restarts and you hear the chime!!!!!!!!
    If you do not replug your HD before the chime it will not be recognized.
    In that case restart again.
    Upon restart once again
    *Choose your language...
    *Click Utilities / disk utility
    In the left column select and
    *Highlight your HD ...
    Then towards the top portion / center of the page
    *Click the heading Erase
    Then on the page toward the bottom
    *Click security options
    This will then provide erase options.
    I USED THE FIRST OPTION
    "Dont erase data"...
    *click OK
    * click erase...
    Once erased which should take a few seconds
    *Cancel the disk utility...
    * Click Utilities / startup
    And your newly erased HD should now appear in the list.
    * Select your drive from the list by highlighting
    It should no longer have a name.
    *Once selected, you will then be prompted to restart and install the OS to your newly erased HD...
    Thats it!!!!
    Once everything reinstalls re-add your personal info or registration info and you are up and running.
    Goodluck ;)

  • How to create a text file or XML file  and add content through  code into it...

    Hi Everyone,
    How to create a text file and add content through the code to the text file eform javascript ......orelse can we create a text file in life cycle designer...
    Else say how to create a new XML file through the code and how some content like Example "Hello World".

    You can create a text file as a file attachment (data object) using the doc.createDataObject and doc.setDataObjectContents:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.450.html
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.528.html
    You can then export the file with the doc.exportDataObject method:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.463.html
    This won't work with Reader if it hasn't been given the file attachment usage right with LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

  • I'm trying to burn a dvd from idvd but I keep getting error message, broken assets, but when I check my drop zones and their content there's no error messages on any of them?

    Hi
    And if You change view - in main "window/view field" so that You see the box-plot structure.
    No exclamation marks there either ?
    and non at the front page ?
    iDVD do not copy Your material - only points to where it is stored. So if on any external hard disks, USB-memories, CDs or DVDs are missing - assetts are broken.
    Or if You changed location of any material or directed iPhoto or iTunes or GarageBand to a new Library - Then iMovie/iDVD also get's lost.

  • My laptop was stolen and I need to be able to connect my iPhone4 to the new laptop and transfer content (photos, mp3's, apps etc.) to the new laptop.  I'm afraid to try a sync in case it deletes all the content off the iPhone.  Any suggestions?

    You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
