Display website in xcelcius dashboard

I want users to select a website name from a -say list box, which consists of website urls- say google, yahoo, etc. The selected website should then load in another component or container in the same canvas. I am using xcelcius 2008.
Regards
Chris

Chris,
You will not be able to embed url into another component, however you will be able to show the urls in a list box and then open it in a new window instead of showing it in a component.

Safari not displaying websites correctly

I bought a new Mac Mini yesterday, The Mac updated itself, there was a long list of different items it needed to download and update. After restarting the Mac, I opened Safari and clicked through a few websites, the websites first display as though they have been zoomed into, then when I try to scroll down the page the images and text go out of sync and into each other basically overlapping each other. I am using a vga through a converter, the desktop and other items seem full screen and fine, its only Safari which seems to display websites as zoomed in which if scrolled on will make items overlap each other. I have a 26inch LCD TV.
Is there any solution to this?
Also when using Safari the Icons dock appears below, its annoying becuase it limits amount of viewing space I have, In Windows XP/Vista you a Windows Bar at the bottom, which is fine becuase its small, is there a way to shrink the Icons dock or to make it disappear when using Safari and then to reappear after use?

Can you post a screenshot of what you see? (You can use a free hosting site such as www.imageshack.us to upload the picture to.)

You can shrink the icons by grabbing the dividing line (towards the trash can) and dragging it down (or up to increase the icon size). Alternatively, cmdoptd will hide/show the Dock.

Displaying Financial Data in Dashboards

We are struggling with how to display revenue and expense data in the OBIEE dashboards. Users are typically used to seeing both positive with Revenue - Expense = Net Margin. When we do this in BI Publisher it works great, but we have always struggled with how to display this on the dashboard since the natural state of the data is rev = credits and exp = debits. When you change them to both be positive, the natural aggregation of the pivot tables, adds the two rather than allowing for subtraction.
Has anyone else experienced this push and pull between business requirements and dashboard capabilities?

This is a reply to Cor-el
I can't post a link because I need to log into Fidelity. Simply put, the identical financial data appears correct to 2 decimal places in Internet Explorer, but the same data extends to 10 decimal places when I use Firefox. There has got to be an explanation and a means to correct Firefox, and that is what I'm looking for.
Any and all help and advice will be appreciated.

Display/Change setting per dashboard

Steps
1) Start at project dashboard.
2) Click "User Settings" button.
3) Look at "Processing Mode" option. It has two values in the drop down: Display and Change.
We are of the understanding that if we make the setting for this field "Display" then whenever we enter a project or task we will be in display mode and not able to edit until we click the "Display/Change" toggle button that displays when we are looking at a project element.
Our team is wondering if we could make this setting such that a user is always in display mode when they enter a project from the project dashboard. In addition to this, we always want a user to be in change mode if they enter a task from the task dashboard.
Is anyone aware of a way to make this display/change user setting dashboard specific?
Thank you,
Wendy

Hi
You can do this setting while maintaining the user. This settings are user specific.
goto SU01=>enter your user=>Personalization tab=>double click the Personalization object key DPR_USER_SETTINGS=> One new window will open in that under General you can define the Processing mode either Display or Change as per your requirement.
Please try with this.

Yogesh

Are there other internet browsers that work well displaying websites with a lot of Flash content?

Other than the browser that came on the Samsung Droid Charge....
Are there other internet browsers that work well displaying websites with a lot of Flash content?
Thanks in advance!

I use Dolphin Browser 6.0. Its faster than 5.0 and has no issues with Flash. I have used flash and used the Beta 6.0 and now the actual released version. Its the best so far. It has tabs like a normal computer browser and even has a gesture feature to do scrolling.
Others are Firefox which has NO flash. Then there is SkyFire which is ok, uses its servers to compress data and show it on your phone, its quick but I found the quality of images not as good as stock.
Opera Mobile and Mini do the same as skyfire.
I personally just didnt care for Xscope of Miren browsers. Didnt care for the feel of Xscope and Miren was developed in China and is modeled after Iphone Browser.
Try em all if you want, biggest benefit of the aftermarket browser is you can sync certain accounts (dolphin with google, firefox with firefox) and instead of storing the Cache info using phone memory you can now save the data and the web browser on the SD card.

Manager Heirarchy is not getting displayed in P&L Dashboard

When I drag and drop an icon from the address bar to the desktop is does creat the shortcut but will not display the website icon, only the firefox icon, how can I display website icons?

When I drag and drop a website icon from the Forefox address bar to the desk top, the short cut is created but the icon that appears is the firefox Icon. I want to disply the icon from the website that the short cut refers to. I have checked all I can think of in my computer to no avail.

You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.
Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

How to display a message in dashboard when the source is not available

Hi,
I had a requirement to display a custom message in the dashboard instead of showing the default error message like "Client commands are disabled by administrator" when the source is unavailble for the reports. I'm using Essbase as the source and when the cube is loaded, i have to dispaly the custom message and to hide all the reports in the dashboard, any suggestions are highly appreciated and will be highly helpful to me.
Thanks
Ashik

Hi,if i understand your question....
i believe you can manage it in 3 ways.
1.you can make groups in order each one be able to "see" its own report..and so on...
2.In the results section , there is a format other views-->No result, you can try it.
3.There is a configuration in///....\OracleBI\web\msgdb\**your nls**\messages such as commmesages.xml and other , where you can handle your "error" report

hi,
there is a problem with the connection pools.
can you check the connection pools assigned in the rpd?
and also, if a driver for the same has been created in odbc.ini file ?

Displaying Session Variable on Dashboard & creating presentation variable

Hi.
I read a bit more on mysupport and it seems that :xdo_user_roles somehow displayes all kind of roles not the ones that the user acutally belongs to.
Now I wonder if I can use NQ_SESSION.GROUP in the BI Publisher data model.
(A)I figured that I can create a "list of values" in the data model and there I can select Oracle BI EE as a data source. maybe in the repository I can create a column that holds the nqsession_groups that I then use in the data model sql. assuming I can use a list of values in the sql.
(B) or I pass it as a parameter to the report/data modell just like a normal dropdownlist parameter (presentation variable)
Then I tried adding a text item on the dashboard with
@{biServer.variables[NQ_SESSION.USER.displayName]}
or
Session Variable My Year : @{biServer.VARIABLES['v_USER_GROUPS']} *
BUT none of them actually display any variables. :/
*this one I created in the repository and has the correct values

When I remove "authenticated-role" from the BIConsumer Role in EM and visit my dashboard again I can see that the user is ONLY in role "AuthenticatedUser" now I wonder why this is the only one, I created a custom role in EM and added the user to that one but it does not show :/

Browser doesn't display websites full size..help!!

Hi
Both my browsers Safari and Firefox don't display webpages to the full size of the browsers. For instance when i enlarge my web browser the websites are either all left sided or centered with two large white margins left and right. How do i adjust the browsers to display webpages using the full browsing screen?
I remember having this issue when i first got my macbook pro but forgot what i did to correct the problem. Now i have the new IMAC and have the issue again:(
Thanks for your help.

Welcome to the forums!
when i enlarge my web browser the websites are either all left sided or centered with two large white margins left and right.
Like this forum web page?
How large the web page appears in the browser is governed by whomsoever designed the web page. Nothing you can do about it.

Words documents opened from portal display website instead of document

A user is opening Word documents from a newly-created section of our portal to find that the Word document displays the website instead of the text that is supposed to be in the document. Saving the document first and then opening it works fine.
It seems similar to this issue:
WWC-41400 when accessing PowerPoint docs
with the following key differences:
1. It doesn't actually display an error. The screen that appears in the Word document looks somewhat like our login screen, but without the login text.
2. This problem only started happening after we redid a section of our website. The new section contains the same documents, but it was rebuilt on the top level of our navigation rather than where it was before.
3. The user only has this problem with the new section of the website--not the previous implementation of that section and not with the rest of the portal website. It only seems to be the new section we developed.
It doesn't seem like she needs to upgrade Word, as Powerpoint was upgraded in the referenced URL above, because it's working elsewhere in the portal. Are there any issues related to us developing the new section of the website that would cause this? Thank you for any assistance.

If Adobe documents are automatically saved instead of opened, check the Applications panel in Firefox ("Tools -> Options -> Applications") and change the action for PDF documents to either "Use Adobe Reader" if you want to use the application or "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox" if you want the PDF file to open inside a Firefox browser window via the Adobe Acrobat plugin. If you want to be asked what to do with PDF files each time, select "Always Ask" for the action. See* [[Managing file types]] and [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]].

Link or display Dokuments in the Dashboard (pdf, jpg, etc.)

Hi together,
we would like to store documents which should be displayed or linked in Oracle BI Dashboard.
What's the best place to store such documents. We tried to store the documents below oracle/product/OracleBI/web/app/res.
It works, but in this case there is no security and everybody who knows the linke is able to display these documents.
And where do you store such documents?
Regards,
Stefan Hess
Oracle BI 10g
Edited by: stefanhess on Jun 20, 2011 4:21 PM

Hi stefanhess,
In any folder people will be able to access the documents if they know where they are. In this case, you put the documents in an oracle path, which for sure is in a server with security. When you place this in a dashboard, the dashboad itself is protected with user/password credential. So the security is at the user level, not at the document level.
If you want to have security at the pdf level, you should protect the pdf with a password (this is a pdf funcionality, not obiee).

Firefox 4.0 and 5.0 not displaying website correctly after upgrade

I recently updated to Firefox 4.0 on both my desktop and laptop. My website, www.mylifeundecided.com, is displaying fine on my desktop (XP) but not on my laptop (windows 7), it also displays fine on our mac (OS X) which also has firefox 4.0.
For some reason the font is displaying too large causing everything to be bumped down and not appear right (and I already checked the zoom, it's not zoomed in or out, it's at 100% so that's not the issue.)
I tried upgrading to 5.0 but experienced the same issue. It looks fine on Chrome, IE8 and Firefox 3. Here is a screenshot of the issue and how it's supposed to look. (the affected area is mostly in the circled box).
http://tinypic.com/r/2nvfbc3/7
Can anyone help? Much appreciated!
Thanks!
Jessica

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting 'none' as a high value can cause issues like you described.
* Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
* Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

Firefox 21.0 android will not display websites but will when highlighted then searched

on my tablet android 4.0.4 when I load a website, the address bar shows the site has finished loading but the site is empty.
if I then touch and highlight the address then push search, the page displays immediately.
any clues guys?

IF your not using .com at the end, it search via google.
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. <br>
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
#Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
#Tap '''Settings'''.
#After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
#You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
#*Cookies & active logins
#*Cache
#After those have been selected, tap the '''Clear data''' button to actually clear the cache and cookies.
Did this help you with your problems? Please let us know!
