1)What is dashboard
Talking in-terms of sap dashboards its used to do the analysis in the top level management by viewing in graphical rather using the KPI's in number, where they can make quick analysis.

2)Difference between xcelcius and dashboard
Previous version its called as xcelsius now its called as dashboard designer.

3)Architecture of sap dashboards
I don't think there is any particular architecture related to dashboard, may be the flow where it differs from source. You can find more information by google.

Hi Team
I have been going through the guidelines and procedures to create a presentation variable to use it in the dashboard prompt ( mentioned in the previous blogs ) .I followed the below link :
http://oraclebi.blog.com/example-of-presentation-variable-in-obiee/
I am using the following query :
========================================================
SELECT case when 1=0 then "D2 Market"."M04 Region"
else 1
end
FROM "Sample Sales"
UNION ALL
select case when 1=0 then "D2 Market"."M04 Region"
else 2
end
FROM "Sample Sales"
=========================================================
I just wanted to create 2 dummy choices i.e 1 and 2 .But while soing so I am getting erros in the case statements :
=========================================================

Please suggest and let me know if there is any other method to have 2 chioces in drop down i.e 1 and 2 using SQL statements while creating the dashboard prompts.
Thanks

Hi Rachit
You answered my doubt.This one really works . Thanks a lot !
But i have one more doubt i.e if have created the Presentation variable in the dashboard prompt and I want to use it in a report
i.e the scenario is If I have created a new column i.e " Revised Salary " in the Presentation Services and want the values to be entered there dynamically upon end users choice. For ex the end user selecrts value of 1 then the report would display an increament of 500 to all the employees in the " Revised Salary " column and if the end user select value of 2 .. the report would display a decrement of 500 in the " Revised salary column".
I am getting the following error :
========================================================================
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 59001] Binary Logical operation is not permitted on VARBINARY, INTEGER operand(s). (HY000)

========================================================================
Please NOTE : The column on which I want to do an increament is : "F1 Revenue"."1-01 Revenue (Sum All)"

    How can i slove this problem?Thanks for your help.

Hi David,
I also seek help for the dashboards, no doubt its matter of practise but like we are facing the problems where we have to map our query structure with Excel sheet.
like I'm facing a problem where my Query accepts two parameters in SAP B1.
In Xcelsius I mapped almost everything and these two parameters are accumulated by 2 combo's but when I make a XML data connection and use trigger cell option , it just takes one combo into consideration.
Expected result is : If I change the value in any of the combo then it shud reflect results accrodingly
Actual result : if I change the value of 2nd combo it doesn't reflect the changes until I select the value from first combo again.
Any inputs will be really very much appreciated.
Regards

Problems viewing dashboards in Word and PDF

I use Xcelsius 2008, service pack 3 and when I export dashboards to Word and pdf others cannot open and view them. I send them the files via email, some people can open and use, many cannot. I have Windows XP sp3, and Office 2007. This is a problem because some clients can open and use, others cannot.

Hi,
    Craig is on the right track, it is most likely a Adobe Flash Player Version issue.
    Read the Supported Platform guide for Xcelsius 2008 SP3 for more details.
              http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/50fdb3d2-50cc-2c10-e392-a2e481f71694
    Make sure they have Adobe Flash Player 9.0.151.0 and above installed.
    Another quick test they can do, see if they can open SWF file directly on their Internet Explorer. I doubt the issue is related to WORD or PDF at all.
Cheers,
Ken

Creating a Dashboard with Stored Procedure

Hello Experts
I have a doubt. I'm starting to develop Dashboards for SAP b1.
How do I pass a parameter for a procudure and can operate in DashBoard?
I am using the example below, where the procudure brings the total billed a certain seller.
Ex: Exec Dash03 (SELECT T0 [SlpName] FROM OSLP T0 WHERE T0 [SlpName] = '[% 0]')

Hi SumanT
I've never used the ITD (not sure how it works). Today I want to integrate the Dashboard to SAP Business One, and for this to work, it is necessary that within SAP B1 there is a query that results to feed the DashBoard.
I tried using a variable to receive the name of the seller, and then pass the variable to the stored procedure, but still did not work out.

All choises in Dashboard prompt

Hi All,
I have created an date prompt and in default section i put the repository varibale(which contains the current month).All choises box is uncheked. But still when i go to my dashboard by default i will get all choises in drop down...
any suggestion.
Thanks,

Hi,
If you set Default, then you will be able to see the data set in the default.
Default wont restrict the number of values in the prompt.
If you want to restrict then you need to give SQL or any conditions.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.
Regards
MuRam
NOTE: Please mention if this resolved your problem/still facing and close the thread.

Two values in Dashboard prompt

Hi,
How do i display two values in the dashboard prompt. In order to make the prompt more discriptive and easy to understand for the user i am trying to display both the processing period and the week number in the prompt but i want to pass only the the processing period to the reports. Can i do it?
Thanks

Hi,
create a new logical column with concatenated values of date & week number and use this in prompts display. In RPD, keep processing date as a key column for the new column.
In analysis, simply put a filter based on the key column as OBIEE will pass processing date only to the report.
Let me know if you have any doubts.
cheers.. Patrick.

Error In Dashboard Prompt after navigation

Hi All,
Getting View Display Error while navigating using the Dashboard Page names..
Error Generating Drop Down Values
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).

SQL Issued: SELECT "Paint".Region FROM "Paint" WHERE ORDER BY 1
Please help me in resolving this..

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.

Support boards for developing dashboard widgets? any response, please??

i don't mean to be a noodge, but 4 days ago i posted a simple request asking if i could get support here for some questions i had as regards some snags i ran into making dashboard widgets. while other people's questions about ruby/rails, c and objective c and even powerpoint (shouldn't that be in a microsquish support forum??) have been responded to.
all i want to know is, can anyone help me here or at least point me to other support boards that offer help for those developing dashboard widgets? is that too much to ask?
my original message i posted 4 days ago is below. i would appreciate response from anyone, please. i can't believe i'm the only person out here seeking support for my *.html, *.css and javascript files for dashboard widgets.
hi,
i'm trying my hand at the most rudimentary of developing for mac os x - developing a dashboard widget, using html, css & javascript.
i'm trying to make a simple widget that uses the real audio plug-in in the system (if you downloaded real player) to play a local portland, oregon fm classical radio station, kbps-fm 89.9 (www.allclassical.org).
i'm running into some snags both in making the "i" info button flip the thing around (it was working before, but since i added in the code that makes the real player plug in work, no matter where i place the position of the "i" flipper, it doesn't show up), and in the graphics i'm trying to create for the widget.
should i seek help here? are there better boards/forums for mac os x dashboard widget creation i can go to, and if so, can anyone direct me there? i know about adc, and am a (free) member, but they don't have discussion boards there and i don't want to pay oodles in tech support just to get some basic javascript and css questions handled.
if anyone could please direct me to where i can ask these questions or help me out, please let me know. thanx.

You shouldn't take the lack of response as a personal insult The nature of these forums (fora?) is that people respond to those messages where they can help and don't respond when they can't help. FWIW I've got two unresolved questions dating back to Mar 17th!
In my opinion, the Developer forums would be absolutely ideal and on-topic places to discuss Widget development..... but it looks like very few experienced Widget developers hang out here, so any questions would most likely go unanswered. My own skill area in limited to Java so I can't help out with widgets. No doubt the other forum regulars are in a similar position.

Can we hide a prompt in a dashboard page/

Hi All, I have a doubt about prompts.can we hide a prompt in a dashboard page without hide a section. Thanks, Hari.

If I'm not wrong I dont think so, check this for possible options http://intelligentinsight.wordpress.com/2012/10/20/obiee-11g-hidden-prompts-and-hiding-prompts/
I think we may do it using JavaScript or CSS.

Integration from dashboard to WebI report in BI 4.0

Hi All,
I have migrated dashboards(created in Xcelsius 2008 SP3), reports (created in BOXI 3.1), and corporate dashboards(Created in BOXI 3.1 environment) to SAP BI 4.0 environment. The dashboards and reports are working fine when they are not integrated with each other. The corporate dashboards(BI Workspaces in BI 4.0) contains a dashboard and a report. According to the selections in the dashboard, the report should be triggered with the parameters passed from the dashboard. But when I migrated, the BI workspaces are not passing the parameter from the dashboard to report. I had verified the parameter passing and Content linking.
Since I am new to SAP BI 4.0, I am not aware of the problems may happen in the migration of Corporate dashboards from BOXI 3.1 to BI 4.0. So can anyone please help me to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Neelakandan

Hi Neelakandan,
I have never worked with FS commands. But i doubt some restrictions are there for FS commands in adobe flash 9 and above. Please confirm it by referring the topic 8.2.3 FS command restrictions in the Dashboard and presentation design user guide. see the link below.

Achieving precise positioning of conditional dashboard sections

Working with 11.1.1.7.0.
I have three dashboard sections that are conditional. All three sections are in the same column. Only one section will be visible at any given time. The sections "turn off" and "turn on" as designed, in response to a dashboard prompt. That part works just fine.
Here's the problem: There is something about the section object that causes the top of Section #2 to display exactly 2 pixels below where the top of Section #1 was. When I make the prompt selection that turns off Section #1 and turns on Section #2, Section #1 turns off and Section #2 appears, but it is 2-pixels too low. Then I make the prompt selection that turns off Section #2 and turns on Section #3, and Section #3 has moved down another 2 pixels. So if you're thinking about it on a grid, the top of Section #1 appears at vertical position y, Section #2 appears at position y-2px, and Section #3 appears at position y-4px.
The same thing happens sideways if I place the sections in three side-by-side columns. Section #1 is at horizontal position x, Section #2 appears at position x+2px, and Section #3 appears at position x+4px.
I've tried setting the section properties to 0 for all padding values (top, bottom, left, right) but that did not help.
So it appears that a conditional section never truly disappears. It sort of feels like the contents are supressed, and a 1px border all the way around still remains, thus adding 2px in both directions.
Any thoughts on how to make conditional sections appear precisely where they "should" be?

The "empty" 2px are the reserved space where the disabled objects actually reside. I doubt you can tweak the rendering engine ;-)

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.
