Dashboard gurus

Guys,
I have never before created a dashboard but have used WAD and very little VC.
I will be using WAD or VC to setup dashboards in BI 7.0.
Can a speed-o-meter or other graphs in dashboards can be double-clicked to drill down further.
Please reply if this can be done.
Also can you all send me a video demo ( only ) of a VC or WAD dashboard setup.
Thanks for your kind help.

Conditional show error in dashboard In OBIEE 11g

Hi Gurus,
I I have a dashboard prompt which is a radio button containing Month & Quarter. Also have 2 other prompts like DP_Month which will show months(201301,201302 ...) and DP_quarter which will show(2013Q1,2013Q2..). This 2 prompts will show conditionally based on based on 1st prompt selection(like Month or quarter) which is working properly.
Suppose when I click Month I m getting 2nd month prompt and changed to Quarter and getting Quarter prompt..But when I move to 2nd page Quarter prompt is selected but Month dropdown is showing.
Please suggest..
Regards,
Smita

Hi Nagireddy, thanks for your reply.
Is there any limit of values to extract in Dashboard prompt? i.e. when you use drop down list as Dashboard prompt, is there any limit of values to extract from database?
In my local environment (instanceconfig.xml), there is limit of Rows to View and Download set to 20K, however I did not see anything related to the Dashboard Prompt.

OBIEE 11g: Dashboard Javascript Issue

Hi Gurus,
We have upgraded obiee from 10g to 11g and finding issues with javascript in a dashboard.
Functionality: There are some custom labels showing prompt values in it with large font. When user change prompt value and Apply, it should change the value of those text as well.
In 10g its running fine, but in 11g its not happening after we change the value of prompts. I found the following Javascript is responsible for this functionality. Even I saw one thread to suggest the exactly same code, but in 10g.
<script type="text/javascript">
(function(){
var tblTag = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
var tdElem= document.getElementsByTagName('td');
for(m=0;m<tdElem.length;m++){
if(tdElem[m].className=='GFPSubmit'){tdElem[m].childNodes[0].tBodies[0].rows[0].cells[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].innerHTML='Run Report';
}//close if statement
}//close for loop
}// close function clickVal()
</script>
Thread:
Change Go Button Text on Prompt Only
I need to understand what its actually doing? and Does it really work in 11g? Whats the alternative code?
Thanks in advance.

In 10g these are the html objects, after upgrade you need to know the html objects for that report based on that you need to modify javascript code.
From given code, activity is doing on these objects; You need to find out the equivalent object name for 'GFPSubmit' in 11g.
GFPSubmit
table
td
If make sense mark

Need some of you Geniuses to help with an IF statement in SAP Dashboard

=IF(C12=6,'6x'!N53,IF(C12=10,'10x'!N53,IF(C12=15,'15x'!N53,IF(C12=18,'18x'!$N$53,"Not Valid"))))
This statement is pretty straight forward in excel but keeps giving me an error in Sap crystal dashboard/xcelcius
The error is all the single Gauge values.
I find that hard to believe ?? Any thoughts oh great gurus out there

HI ,
Please check your C12 Cell. you may be using some formula or maping some dynamic value using some connection. Check that cell that causing you problem . If you are dividing anything by zero you will get DIV/0 error

Unable to access the Dashboard in 11g

Hi Gurus,
I was successful in installing obiee 11g on windows 7 home edition,I am new to 11g OBIEE . I was able to login into the dashboard and do everything as usual.After the restart of the machine I am getting the following error
*From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.*
All the services start up right ,atleast the WLS and databases ,can you please let me of other services if I am missing any...
Nothing has changed since the installation ,it was all working yesterday morning after the installation but today after the restart it does not show the page ..Do you think my loopback installation has to do anything with this,please advice.
Regards
Malam

I have noticed OBIEE 11g does not run stable on windows 7 ,
Try XP or Windows 2003 Server... Its a good place to start as your new to OBIEE, You will encounter non everyday errors just because of win 7.
Check your FMW (Fusion Middleware is up) Also Check if your weblogic server is up , You should have the URLS for these 2 servers when you were installing OBIEE.
If your FMW is up see if the pie status's are all green . or can you see some red. this means some services are indeed down.. Then check the server logs for more details.
These can be found in the MIDDLEWAREHOME Directory, Somewhere here c:\Middleware\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\
These will be logs for Your FMW, Weblogic Server...
Cheers

How to Get My Dashboard as Default Page Instead of Home Page in OBIEE 11G?

Hello Gurus,
I have one requirement where i need to change default page to "My Dashboard" like what we had in OBIEE 10G ?
Rite-now in OBIEE 11G when any user logs in they are directed to "Home" Page, but i want to change the navigation to "My Dashboard" for all user..
I know the option to in My Account and Change the Default dashboard in Preferences , but it's manual way to do it for all end-users.
and the other is to create the PORTALPATH Variable and do it from RPD.
So I am looking to some other way there we can change the navigation path from system file itself...
Thanking You..

Hello David,
Thanks for reply.
Actually I am just concern abt the OBIEE Dashboard page, the link that u have mentioned is for Application Server, where we can manage the multiple Application Portals.
and it also doesn't come with Middleware that we are installing for OBIEE.
so i did get some useful information but not related to my question.
is there any place in EM(Enterprise Manager) or Console(Admin Console) from where we can manage the Default Portal for OBIEE Users?
Thanking You..

Presentation Variable in the SQL default section in the dashboard prompt

Hi Gurus,
I have two prompts and two go buttons. First Go button is used to populate pv_category1 presentation variable.
category_column --> pv_category1--> 1st Prompt
Product_Column --> pv_product2 --> 2nd Prompt
I want to set the default for the 2nd Prompt depending on the 1st Prompt ( Category) chosen by the user.
In the SQL default --> i have typed in the below Query.
*Select TableName.Product_Column from Subject_Area where category_column = '@{pv_category1}'*
The Problem is that i dont get any default value for 2nd Prompt after choosing the First prompt and hitting the GO Button.
If i hardcode the value in @{pv_category1} ...
for eg
Select TableName.Product_Column from Subject_Area where category_column = 'Incidents' i get the corresponding value as default.
But i want this 2nd prompt (product) to dyamically default depending on the 1st prompt (category) chosen by the user.
I am using OBIEE 10.1.3.4 and i have googled a lot on this topic...
can we not use Presentation variable in the SQL default section of the Dashboard Prompt?
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Ashish

Thanks for the Quick Reply.
But the functionality that i want to achieve is the default value in the 2nd column (out of many values for 2nd column) based on the 1st column chosen by the USER. for eg we have two columns in our database ie category and Product.. Data goes like this
category ProductName
Incidents --- A
Incidents --- B
Incidents --- C
Changes --- D
Changes --- E
Projects --- M
Projects --- N
Projects --- O
Projects --- P
If the User chooses Incidents in the first prompt then the default in the 2nd prompt should be B ( out of A,B,C Values available in the 2nd prompt)....
Checking the constraint checkbox doesnt solve the default problem...
Thanks
Ashish

OBIEE 11G DASHBOARD CREATION DIFFICULTIES

i HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SAVE MY ANALYSIS ON A SHARED FOLDER SO THAT I COULD PULL IT OUT TO CREATE ADDITIONAL DASHBOARD PAGES BUT THIS MESSAGE KEEPS POPING UP: CANT SAVE IN ROOT FOLDER. THIS MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR ME TO ADD CONTENT TO A NEW DASHBOARD PAGE. EVEN WHEN I SAVED ON MY FOLDER IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IT. PLEASE CAN SOMEBODY FIND AN ANSWER FOR ME.

You just used code and I would say the default event is onload of the page, thats the reason you are able to see alert.
Since you didnt ask or written code onClick event to show alert, its not showing.
You need to tell to browser when to prompt alert message instead of onload.
Hope you are more confuse about 'how to do'
if yes, mark :)
give some more info about your actual req. that helps any other gurus to help.

OBIEE 11g: Dashboard not invoking simple javascript alert

Hi Experts,
I'm trying to invoke one simple ALERT command with javascript in obiee 11g dashboard. The purpose is when it loads, it should print one ALERT message and also when we change something in the prompt and clicking Apply button.
Here is code written in a text item (Checked html markup option) after prompts;
<script language="Javascript">
alert ("Hello");
</script>
The Javascript alert message is showing when the dashboard page loads, but its not coming when we click the Apply button after changing the prompts.
Can anyone give helpful hint, how to check it and why its not showing up when we press Apply button?
Any hint or some useful links will b highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Issue with Parent child dashboards using SWFLoader component

Hello Gurus,
I am using Parent-child dashboards approach in our project.
I have multiple child files embedded in Parent dashboard using the SWFLoader (directly passing the URL as SWFLoader value) to load child dashboards. All the child, parent swf's are saved in the same intranet folders.
When I open the parent SWF, everything loads fine in the intranet.
But for some users, when they open from the intranet, the child dashboard doesnt load up properly or size of the dashboard gets reduced to a small version. (Iam sure that it has nothing to do with the access/privileges)
Any thoughts/ideas what could be causing an issue with child dashboard/resizing of the child dashboard.
Please help!
regards,
S R

Check whether the machine has compatible flash version in error specific machine and your machine.

Download link to export several reports in a dashboard at once

Hello Gurus. When you create a dashboard with a report, the Refresh, Printer Friendly and Add to Briefing Book links are created automatically with icons on the bottom, left hand side of the dashboard. Is there a way to include the Download link as well? The idea is to have a link to export several reports to Excel at once. I already know how to add it for each report. Our dashboard has 6 reports and the user wants to export all 6 reports in one command. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

In short - No.
Asked many many many times, probably in the top 10 wish list.
If you manage to suss it out please share with everyone :-)

Xcelsius/Dashboard Design - mouse over capability doesn't work/losing hover

Hello there, I am currently in a tough situation. If any Xcelsius gurus can provide me with a solution, I would very much appreciate your help.
I currently have a dashboard with pie chart component in the default view. It has a radio button with two values. The mouse over doesn't work when the dashboard is loaded. However, when I make a selection in the radio button, the mouse over works for both the options. I have noticed this is a bug but if anyone has a solution or way around it, let me know.
Another issue - I have a 'All' view and 'Region' views in the menu bar. When a user clicks on a particular Region, then clicks all and goes back to a region, I lose the drill down capability on the pie chart thats on the Region view. initially, the mouse over and drill down works fine. However, after going to the All view and coming back to a region, this capability is lost. It acts the same way as the problem above. User can't hover nor drill down. If anyone has a solution to this, let me know.
