Discoverer Drill down Dashboard

Hi,
How to create a drill down dashboard?
Thanks,
G. Sathya Priya

I agree with Puppethead on this as well.
Many times clients say they must have drill-down, but it many cases, it just confuses end users. It is cool when you have something like gl_companies in a summed up worksheet and you drill on the company to say, the division, then to the account, etc. - and all from just the one company. But again, most end users I deal with don't need that functionality.
They'd be just as happy to have a summary worksheet showing just the total values for, in this case, the gl companies, labelled say ... oh I don't know ... summary?
And then have a detail wroksheet showing much further detail for those companies labelled ... well let's throw the sheets to the wind ... detail?
And this please most end users.
So I would suggest writing a report like described first and then seeing if this is what the end users really wants. If they want drill-down, then fine, but just from experience ... few end users really do (they just like the term - drill down).

Discoverer Drill Down Sample

Hi all,
I am new in discoverer, will like to have sample on how to do the drill down. I have created two folder in one business area. I will like to have drill down when user click on the column in first folder say po column, the drill down will happen which will take from the second folder to display the further data of PO column that selected.
How to do that ? Can send some sample to my email, [email protected]
Thanks.

Org Chart Drill Down Dashboard

I have a requirement where I need to have an Org Chart display of data. The requirement is to get the money spend by the whole department. Then when you drill down on the department the dashboard has to display all the managers under that department. When the user clicks on the managers name the dashboard has to display the amount spend by the manager. When the user clicks on the managers name then the individual details has to be displayed.
I am basically looking like an ORG CHARD display dashboard. What is the easiest way to do this? I want the dashboard to shrink if there is no drill down and expand when itu2019s drilled down. Any ideas will be of great help. I want to do this using crystal Xcelcius.

Hi Srinivasa,
Xcelsius is mainly recomended for pure Dashboard Application where the intention is to view summarized data at a single snapshot. Usually drilldown reports are built using WEBi. These WEBi reports can be linked to the Xcelsius Applications.
This is one way you can acheive your requirement.
Such Drilldown reports are also possible through Xcelsius but a lot of data massaging and parameter maintaining at Excel level is required.
All the Best.
Bhavna.

Can Discoverer drill down include summary and details?

Let's say I have a set of bonds in different accounts.
Each bond has an account, product_type, rating_group and book_value.
I show an initial report with account and sum(book_value).
then I want to "Drill to related" to see the sum of book value by rating group.
When I do this, I no longer have the total book value for the whole account. I just have it for each rating group within the account. I want to be able to still see the sum of the book value for all rating groups and also see how it's broken out by rating group.
For example:
I start with this:
Account | Book Value
C-BASS | $1M
Then I drill to related -> "Rating Group" and it looks like this:
Account | Rating Group | Book Value
C-BASS | AAA | $0.5M
C-BASS | AA | $0.25M
C-BASS | A | $0.25M
I want it to look like this (or something like this):
Account | Rating Group | Book Value
C-BASS | All | $1M
C-BASS | AAA | $0.5M
C-BASS | AA | $0.25M
C-BASS | A | $0.25M

Error: "Numeric value entered was too low " -drill down discoverer report

Hi ,
We have created a Discoverer drill down report (drill down to another worksheet). We have two worksheets one for the master and and the other for the detail.The parameters are passed to detail sheet (The link information is set using the Manage links option in the Discoverer plus) from the master. This whole thing works fine in dev instance.
We imported the business area . Deleted the existing file and the opened the new .dis file from local computer and then saved it to db.
Now the master report runs fine and when we click on the drill down link for the detail we get the following error
An error occured while handling the event.See the application log for more details.
- The numerical value entered was too low."
However the link works fine in plus and desktop in the same instance.
Kindly help.
Thanks,
Shobana

I hope you're not using Internet Explorer v7.
It has a specific problem with Disco Viewer, is not certified to work with it, and the error is drilling in Viewer.
The Oracle bug (metalink) is: 5608740
This bug prevents the listing of drill items under the drill icon.

Issues in building two level drill down

Hi All,
I have built a sample two level drill down dashboard using two combo boxes which filters the data after each drill. I'm facing three issues here.
1.
I have placed both combo boxes behind 3rd chart but it's visible while I'm on 3rd chart as shown below.
2. When we click on chart two, it inserts the data(item on which we have clicked) into a cell. The second combo box uses the data in that cell an filters data in chart2 and serves to chart3. If I'm not using(visible in above image with ##) a grid to see the data in that cell, the back button being shown on chart 3 is not working(It goes back and comes to chart3 again immediately).
3. I'm hiding the combo boxes using dynamic visibility (with such condition that never gets satisfied) since I do not want to show those combo boxes to user. But, this also affecting the drill. I'm not able to see any data in chart2 which was visible when I didnt hide the combo box1 with dynamic visibility. Do dynamic visibility also hides functionality ?? I don't think so because it is pushing the label selected into a cell which I was observing.
Please help.

Hi Nikhil
The xlf you sent had one of the Pie charts as the most top component in the list and hence it was showing up. The order was not same as the screenshot.
Once I moved the combo-box to back it worked fine.
The Dynamic visibility makes a component inactive or active = not just visible to eye. So if you make it invisible it will not function too. So dont make the Combo boxes invisible. They need to stay visible when they need to work. So you have to use the chart's background or an actual background to hide it.
Why the grid helps - very strange I think it picks up the blank and inserts there again. Not sure. But Pie or any chart without the ability to bind the Item Selected - behaves this way - once you have clicked a value it remains clicked so even when it went invisible and came back to visible it remembers the selection. Thats why soon after BACK inserts blank in cell B7 the Pie chart 2 inserts the last selected value there and changes the logic.
You seem to have solved a huge problem by using the grid. So keep that in place and hide it behind a background.
Thanks

Discoverer Report - Drill down

Hi Friends,
initially I have executed the discoverer report and got the data in 5 min, but when I am trying to drill down for some column the same report It is re-executing the query again. Actually while doing drill down it should not re-execute the query.
Kindly suggest is there any setting/solution for the same.
Regards
Pankaj

Are you drilling down by choosing the 'drill to related item' or something like that?
Or are you using a hierarchy that you've set up already?
I'm asking as I've never like the drill-down concept in Disco in that you get all columns back in another worksheet that's totally ugly and not end user friendly.
However, when I've set up a hierarchy and drilled down the hierarchy it just opens the new rows within the level I'm at in the same worksheet and doesn't seem to take any more time.

Changing the table name while drill down at the dashboard query

I have a DAY fact table that has about 1B rows.
The purpose of this table is to store on hand quantity for each item per day.
On the presentation layer I have a dashboard that will display average on hand qty per year and then user can drill down to quarter/month/week and then by day level to see the actual value at evey level.
Its hard to run aggregation on fly as all my 3 TEMP tablespace 32gb each filled and then I get error can not extent TEMP file.
So I thought I will do the aggregation at the database level and store the aggregated data in another table. So at first dashborad will read this new aggregated table to display qty at yearly. As soon as user drill down to quarter the dashbord should query the actual DAY fact table by filtering for specific year and quarter.
IS it possible? Can I change the table name while I drill down to lower level?
Thanks in advance.

Hi use,
Yes. This is possible in OBIEE. You need to use Action Links to have navigation between reports. The main idea is to have 2 analysis. One with your aggregated data by year (using your aggregated table), and another one with the rest of the hierarchy and data (using normal fact table)
You add an action link on this report, that can navigate to the second report. showing "the details" (in your case would be the rest of the time dimension).
Please refer to http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/07/obiee-11gr1-action-framework-and-conditions/ for actions links.
Another way is to create 2 analysis, then go to the 2nd analysis, and filter the column year as "Is based on results of other analysis" and you select there the first analysis. In this case when you click on the year in the first analysis, this value will be passed to the second analysis so you can filter the rest of the hierarchy based on the year you clicked on the first analysis.
If helpful, assign points.

URGENT!! Drill Down Error with Character Set non-ascii on Discoverer Viewer

Hi,
We have an error in a Drill down. It comes up when the Discoverer Viewer tries to process data that contains special character (non-ascii) in a query's filter. The same report that does not perform well with special characters, does perform well if the data dont contains special characters, so it seems to be an issue processing non-ascii chars in this Discoverer Viewer instance.
Ex. FIELD_NAME = 'Ã¶ÜÃ¦Ã¤é (This filter is contained in a query that this getting an error msg="We're sorry, the server encountered an unexpected condition" ).
It might be possible that there are some problems with the Discoverer charset ?
We will appreciate any suggestion about this respect.

Drill-down reports Discoverer-style

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to implement drill-down reports in HTMLDB. All the references I found are showing details in a 2nd page for a certain row in the 1st page (e.g. ordered items for an order ID).
I'm not looking for this, but for drill-down "a la Discoverer", such as this example
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/discoverer/discoverer_1012/viewer/lesson1.htm#t7
One can select there multiple criterias for drill down.
Perhaps the solution would be a combination of tree reports with standard reports
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/howto_tree.html
but I don't see clearly how to do it, especially with a lot of drill-down options.
Do you have any suggestions?
Many thanks,
Marius

I think there are two differen approaches:
- using the HTML report and doing some "dynamic" SQL at the block level
(That means you have to write the drill down - this is the logic that
is done by the tree - by yourself)
If you ever have done the work to do this in combination with a HTML DB report,
please post it here.
- using the a Tree Page with a special layout and view
Which one to use depends on how often you have to use this.
You can see an example under:
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=41053:30
Here is a quick hack for the Tree Page variant, that may help you.
Using a Tree page uning a view and changing the tree template gives you some of
this functionality. If you have to do more of this kind use a stylesheet (.css) to
controll the layout.
1. Create a View that represents your Hierarchy (Structure)
For every level create a UNION secion.
Using UNION you can get the records from different sources also.
2. Create a Page with a Tree, SQL Query Based.
Use the View that you created before.
NAME .. are the levels of your dimensions
A1, A2 .. are your measures of your fact
ID, PID .. the hierarchy (structure) information
* Step 1 - creating a view:
create or replace view tree as
select id, pid, name, link, a1, a2
from (
-- Level 1 (Root Level)
select
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYY') id, null pid,
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYY') name, null link,
to_char(sum(ORDER_TOTAL),'999G9990D99') a1, to_char(count(*),'999G9990D99') a2
from DEMO_ORDERS
group by
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYY'),
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYY')
UNION
-- Level 2
select
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYYMM'), to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYY'),
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'Month'), null,
to_char(sum(ORDER_TOTAL),'999G9990D99'), to_char(count(*),'999G9990D99')
from DEMO_ORDERS
group by
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYYMM'), to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYY'),
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'Month')
UNION
-- Level 3 (Leaf Level)
select
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYYMMDD'), to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYYMM'),
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'DD. Day'), null,
to_char(sum(ORDER_TOTAL),'999G9990D99'), to_char(count(*),'999G9990D99')
from DEMO_ORDERS
group by
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYYMMDD'), to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYYMM'),
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'DD. Day')
)If you have a lot of this kind of reports you realy should think to
use discoverer. It does a lot of sql behind the szenes and also in the
presentation logic - this is what you have to do here by hand.
If you have more than two measures (A1,A2) you can do the
formatting in your view (realy ugly, but it is a workaround).
* Step 2: Create the tree page
Tree Query:
select
"ID" id, "PID" pid, "NAME" name,
null link, a1 a1, a2 a2
from TREEBefore Tree:

Discoverer 10g r2 (SSL) drill down issue

Hi,
We have encountered a strange drill down problem with Discoverer Viewer. When configured to run in SSL mode on port 443, the drill feature in Discoverer Viewer doesn't work. When drilled, the generic html message "This page cannot be displayed" is seen. The problem disappears when the SSL port is changed to 4443 or when SSL is disabled. We don't come across this problem in Plus, no matter what the port is.
The discoverer version is 10g r2 on Linux 2.4.
Has anyone faced a similar problem? Thanks in advance for your inputs.
Regards,
Chethan

Hi ,
1. You need to include Perl 5.6.1 (or later) installed and in the PATH.
2. Set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to point to the BI Midtier Home.
3. Add %ORACLE_HOME%\OPatch in the PATH
4 . Once the one-off patch bundle is downloaded extract the patch contents under a directory
5. Stop the service using opmnctl stopall
6. Run Database OPATCH utility with the right parameters to proceed with the patch installation
cd <directory where the patch contents were extracted >
opatch apply
7. Start the service using opmnctl startall
You can see the list of patch installed by opatch lsinventory

Discoverer Viewer - Drill down option

Dear all
I created a report in discoverer desktop, with drill down option for financial information.It works fine in Disco Desktop. All the drill down options are working fine as well. But the same report when run in disco viewer, it has got an option for drilling down further, then another option for collapse(with the blue button) - to view the summary value.
When the collapse option is chosen, the blue color button disappears in Viewer and wouldnt know how to drill down back without reloging into the application.
Could you please help me how to solve this problem, as I need to share this report with users who has viewer access only?We are using 9i at the moment.
Thanks.

Hi Russ
I have heard folks having awful issues with IE 7. It seems to mess up everything Oracle. Sounds like Oracle and Microsoft have some hurdles to cross. For now I would advise everyone to either stay on IE 6 or use another browswer like Firefox.
To answer the specific question posted here, it is possible that the user has hit one of the well known Discoverer bugs wherein Discoverer Viewer cannot properly execute workbooks created in Desktop. There are fixes and one-off patches available for this in MetaLink but these patches all require a password to download them. I would advise the raising of a service request and in the request spefically ask if there is a one-off patch that will fix this.
Best wishes for now

Drill-down and how to change to the correct value in the dashboard title

Good Morning,
I have a problem on the presentational side, which some of you might have seen as well.
My dashboard page looks like this:
Dummy Prompt 1: YearFrom
Dummy Prompt 2: YearTo
Prompt 3: Item
All three prompts have a presentation variable to show their respective value in the title of the dashboard page.
Below the prompts is the report, which is filtered by the three prompts and contains a column "year" with the option to drill-down.
When I drill-down on a "year" value, a column "month" appears and shows the values of the year by month.
Problem : After the drill-down the title still displays the old "YearFrom" "YearTo" values and not the year I drilled-down on
Question: How to I change the title to the correct year?
Optional: In the drilled-down report I would like to hide the column "year".
Every idea is appreciated

hi, with JSF 2 you got the ajax tag, just tried it and it works fine :)
<h:inputText id="myinput" value="#{back.name}">
<f:ajax execute="@this" event="keyup" render="outtext"/>
</h:inputText>
<h:outputText id="outtext" value="#{back.name}"/>or before JSF 2
<h:outputScript name="jsf.js" library="javax.faces" target="head"/>
<h:inputText id="myinput" value="#{back.name}" onkeyup="jsf.ajax.request(this, event, {render: 'outtext'}); return false;"/>
<h:outputText id="outtext" value="#{back.name}"/>The name property is a simple String in the bean.
Hope this helps
