Dashboard builder vs single dashboard

Hi all, can someone please tell me whats the difference between Dashboard builder, single dash board.
I have access to single dashboard. What features does it provide other than accomodating multiple reports.
Regards

Dashboard Builder is some module comes with the EPM , Enterprise Performance Manager, which allows you to create corporate dashboards, add analytics web pages,,, etc
which is also different in its navigation and developing more than the single dashboards,
the single dashboards its just like you create one page using the infoview, and you put some shortcut for you reports on it.
good luck

Inserting dashboards into a single master SWF

Hello experts,
I have an issue in merging dashboards into a single SWF file. Currently i have seven dashboards exported to BOE as SWF/flash files . All are working fine in BOE. Now i need to emmbed all of them in a single swf file. How could i do it.
Current procedure which i am following: I structured OPENDOUCMENT URL for all those seven dashboards in BOE. next, i designed a dashboard with seven slides with label based menu. each of that seven slides are mapped to respective open document URL. might i am wrong . please any one tyhrow some some light in my case.
Thanks
Prashanth

We are XI 3.1. We use the download document and url and include the CELogonToken when linking to child swfs, e..g
/Xcelsius/opendoc/documentDownload?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=AU_zADSPisZFqkKz6eCzKAY&sKind=Flash&CELogonToken=&Mode=INFOVIEW&BusinessArea=
In the example above, BusinessArea is a variable and is used to pass a value from the parent swf to the child swf.
You need to exercise some care in this swf within swf approach, e.g. if you have QaaWs running in to think about when you want the queries in teh child swf to be triggered, e.g. everytime you go to the child, or only if the user has selected a new value to be passed.
Personally, I think this type of multi-dashboard deliverable is better handled by pulling the multiple Xcelsius dashboards together inside a portal tool, or if you are at XI 3.1, use the Dashboard Builder functionality to pull all the Xclesius together. I hadn't thought about pulling them together using ppt, but that sounds like an option too.
SAP's Brad Welch did a webinar in June or July 2009 showing Dashboard Builder to pull together Xcelsius, WebI, web pages, pictures, together. Might be worth a look

I hadn't seen much about the repositioning of the Dashboard Builder tool as something to use to pull together Xcelsius and other content, but in reviewing content from the 2009 Bus Obj User Conference, I saw it mentioned in at least 4 different presenations, some from SAP folks, and feel better about developing with it more.

Integration to BOE dashboard builder

Hi,
Is it possible to render BPC content (Xcelsius dashboard or basic BPC web functionality) in BOE Dashboard builder, thus combining in a single dashboard the ability to write-back with reporting done on BPC cubes as well as other content.

Hi,
i recommend you guys check SAP Note - 1285375 for the installing process of Dashboard Builder.
Maybe you missed something.

PWVERSION sql error in dashboard builder

Hi all
We are currently attempting to deliver SAP Strategy Management through the dashboard builder as part of an integrated solution of SSM, Xcelcius and Webi. When we try to run SSM within a tab page on Dashboard Builder we get the following error;
Error: SqlStatement
Error: SqlStatement: SELECT * from PWVERSION
Error Code: no such table: PWVERSION
The SSM does not then start up.
This is a pioneering attempt to integrate the two tools in a portal style solution so any help would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Gareth

Thats right...
Err..Ohk. Don't tell me that you are using Hierarchical columns and other attributes in same prompt (i.e. Single GO Button)
Like you have columns like Region-Country-State-City and say Category in same prompt where Region-Country-State-City is hierarchy in OBIEE RPD.
You will have to create 2 seperate prompts here to get it work.
Prompt 1: Region-Country-State-City (Constraint on each level)
Prompt 2: Category and other attributes
This will have 2 prompts so 2 GO button. No way you can achieve this in Single GO even if you change the XMLs and all.
This is OBIEE logic working behind pulling the common fact and also fetching hierarchical data based on level above i.e. constraints here...
Hope this clears your doubt. Or may be give the exact structure of your prompts.

Dashboard Builder - Anyone using this in Live environment

Hi,
We have requirements wherin we want to integrate Xcelsius and Detailed Webi reports and develop a kind of reporting suite where the Xcelsius will drive the reporting outputs in Webi.
we have completed a prototype and know this works with the use of 'Dashboard builder'.
Wanted to now check if anyone has used 'dashboard Builder' in a lIve environment and how stable it is.
Can we publish reports developed in Dashboard Builder to folders and control who has access to which report ?
Thanks,
Sameer

Hi some customers are using Dashboard in PRD environment and it works fine is ver stable.
Respect to the authorizations, you must asume that a dashboard is a resume of webi, xcelsius and analytics reports and you need authorizations for any element individually and then also authorization to the dashboard if you need you can restrict the access as any other file in the BO.
Regards

Dashboard Builder integration with BO universe

Hello,
I want to find out if we can drill down from one dashboard to another dashboard and then another dashboard in Xcelsius Enterprise.
I know that we can drill down from one level to another, however there are no examples in it.
Alternatively, you can drill drown in Dashboard Builder also, and I heard that dashboard Builder also connects to the universe data. Is it easy to you dashboard Builder instead.
Thanks
Abhijit

Try the following and see what happens:
<%@ page import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.exception.SDKException,
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework.*,
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.infostore.*"
%><%
IEnterpriseSession enterpriseSession;
String serializedSession;
/* * Set Enterprise Logon credentials. */
final String BO_CMS_NAME = "MyCMSName";
final String BO_AUTH_TYPE = "secEnterprise";
final String BO_USERNAME = "MyuserName";
final String BO_PASSWORD = "MyPassword";
Set Java InfoView start page URL
final String INFOVIEW_URL = "http://<hostname>:<port>/InfoViewApp/logon/start.do";
Log onto Enterprise and serialize the Enterprise Session.
enterpriseSession = CrystalEnterprise.getSessionMgr().logon(BO_USERNAME,BO_PASSWORD, BO_CMS_NAME, BO_AUTH_TYPE);
serializedSession = enterpriseSession.getSerializedSession();
Redirect to InfoView, passing the serialized Enterprise Session.
response.sendRedirect(INFOVIEW_URL + "?ivsLogonSession=" + java.net.URLEncoder.encode(serializedSession));

Dashboard Builder Not Available

Hi guys
I´ve installed BO XI 3.1 SP 2 FP 2.8 without problems it work fine i´ve create universes and webi documents but when i wanted to create an analytic in dashboard builder i notice that the dashboard builder is not available i have the option in the toola bar but is grayed.
I enter CMC and in applications i didnt found anything about Analytics.
In servers i didntfound any server about analytics or performance or any AA server.
Somebody told me that is needed a licence about Performance MAnager or Analytics, i found temporary licences of both and i installed but nothing happened.
How can i make dashboard builder works, is necesary to install anything or is just only needed a configuration?
I hope somebody could help me with this.
Regards

Hi Oscar,
There are higher chances that you've not chosen to install Dashboard Builder at the time of installing BO Enterprise XI3.1 and hence you are not able to see the Dashboard Builder services. BOXI3.1 comes with Dashboard Builder embedded and hence there is no additional installer for it.
It is recommended that if you wish to use Dashboard Builder, you must have a Premium Keycode (License) for BusinessObjects Enterprise. "Performance Management Dashboards" are an Extention of Dashboard Builder and needs Extra License and Database however, we just need to configure it, there is nothing to install additionally for Performance Management Dashboards.
Would request you to please go through the relevent litrature to have more insight on Dashboard Builder and Performance Management Dashboards so that you can choose accordingly.
Regarding your scenario, you can go to BOServer (machine where you've installed BO) >> Control Panel >> Add or Remove Programs >> and can "Modify" the BOE Setup. From there, you can select the Performance Management services install them additionally. Just make sure you have the BOE Installation files handy.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!

Dashboard builder with SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI 3.1

Hi,
is it possible to install / activate the Dashboard builder with the trial version of the <a href="http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx">SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI 3.1</a>?
I have read a couple of OSS-notes about the Dashboard-builder, but they all describe this feature for BObj Enterprise.
Any help on this?

I have a greyed out button "Dashboards" on the top bar in my InfoView.
There is no server for Dashboards visible in my CCM.
What I do have is a PerformanceManagement.war in my BObj-installation (which I deployed into my TomCat).
Any help on activating the Dashboard-builder with the Edge-BI-trial?

Is Dashboard Builder located in Portal or its part of SAP BI or elsewhere

Hello
Is Dashboard Builder BI located in Portal or its a part of SAP BI or something else?
I need to know where its actually based.
Thanks

You will have to be on SAP BW 7.01 (SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EHP1) and SAP Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.x in order to integrate and requires the SAP Integration Kit for SAP Business Objects Enterprise.
Dashboard Builder, while still part of the BOE suite, is somewhat being replaced by Xcelsius which is again a different tool and different licensing.
