Dynamic host name in action link

Hi All,
Is there a way to create the dynamic host name in the url in the action link for dashboard? I have tried to use the repository variable to store the hostname from the server in the navigate to webpage. However, the action link is showing the error when I tried to place repository variable in the navigation to webpage in action link. We do not want to manually change the hostname for each migration .
@{biServer.variables['hostname']}:7001\analytics
Thanks,
Sushil

Thanks Srini,
I was trying to use the variable value in url of the Action link ( Navigation to webpage). The variable value works inside the report or go url .
Regards,
Sushil

How to set dynamic host name in the URL of a URL iView?

Hello,
I am using a standard URL iView that points to some J2EE app I've written and deployed on the same server.
I would like to set the host name to be a dynamic one, this way I won't need to change the iView URL when transporting it from one portal to another. As far as I know the system for a URL iView only controls authorizations but cannot replace the full URL set in the iView.
Any idea who can this be achieved?
Roy

Hi Mrityunjay,
forced URL at runtime will require me to call the URL iView from another iView that I will need to code (setting the URL in the Request object). If I did all this I might as well call it from this iView already.
I would like to do it with no further developments. I would have thought that SAP has constants that can be plugged in the URL for this type of thing, i.e. $hostname...
Rgds,
Roy

Getting the server Host name in Action Script?

Good Morning --
Is it possible in a flash movie (CS3/AS 3.0) to get the host
name of the
server running the flash movie?
For example, if the URL is
http://www.domain.com/movie.swf,
I would like to
be able to read a variable / function and have the result be
"domain.com"
Thanks
Rich

Excellent! Thank you. I will give this a shot.

Dynamic Host Name -- Roadrunner

I have a linux box that I would like to install Oracle 8i on for development purposes. I use this PC from home connecting to the internet using Roadrunner.
The problem comes in that Roadrunner assigns me a dynamic server name/address each time I log on. Will this be a problem with the Oracle install? Can I assign a server name like 'localhost' or something to get around this problem?
Also, the install docs require two mount points. Forgive me, I'm fairly new to Linux and totally new to Oracle. Can I just create a couple of directories here for the Oracle apps and data. I just rebuilt my Linux box to give me an Oracle-sized swap and I'd prefer not reinstalling again to create my mount points.
Thanks!

Well, to answer my own questions...and maybe yours.
Apparently the Linux hostname doesn't matter to Oracle. I've logged in with two hostnames and Oracle is quite happy to run under any hostname. With Sybase I had to specify a hostname and 'localhost' was suggested to get around the dynamic naming with dhcp.
And second, the mount points are not necessary to the installation. You just need to specify $ORACLE_HOME in accord with the instructions. Oracle apparently just needs a place to install the software and create the databases. This, I'm sure, is not optimal, but it does work.
Frankly, I'm just happy to have it running after fiddling around for three days.
BTW, I'm running Linux-Mandrake 7.0 (stock kernel) and created a swap partition of 3 times my physical memory (128MB).

Configuring server name and port number through action links - obiee11g

Is it possible to configure host name and port when using action links ?
Say some session variables hold these values. Is there any way to use these values ?
Thanks
SM

Any pointers ?

OBIEE 11g Agent Includes Action Link Report Name

OBIEE 11g Agent Includes Action Link Report Name
I have a dashboard page with multiple reports. One of the reports has Action Links to drill to another report. When I view the dashboard as a web page, the report with the Action Links look fine. The link fields are colored blue. When I send this dashboard page as an HTML email, it shows the Action Link report name in the cell with the other data.
The dashboard page sent out as an agent should look the same as the web page and the Action Link report name should not be visible.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Eric

So you spoofed the values of the 2nd column to have the report act almost like a menu listing?
if that's the case then check the data type of column 2, it should be set to HTML. Then you will just need to build your HTML tag within the column formula.
Example below bins the year name into a Link HTML Tag:
'<a href="http://'|| CASE WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2011' THEN 'www.google.com' WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2012' THEN 'www.yahoo.com' ELSE 'www.apple.com' END || '" target="_blank" > ' || CASE WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2011' THEN 'www.google.com' WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2012' THEN 'www.yahoo.com' ELSE 'www.apple.com' END || '</a>'
if that is not what you are attempting to do, please clarify.

Dynamic Global Host Name!!!

Hello Everybody!
I have Time Capsule 2TB, and i have an issue about it, which its how to connect to it via internet?
i know that i must have mobileme account and to be added to advanced in the airport utility.
then i have to setup the Dynamic Global Host Name, this is my problem?
how can i get the Dynamic Global host Name?
Is it from ISP?
is it supported by some regions? or all over the countries?
if so, is it supported in Egypt?
i gave a try and i contact my ISP (Vodafone) but they didnt hear anything or even know anything about the Dynamic Global Host Name. If from ISP, what could i tell them to understand me?
because when i asked about DGHN, no one understand me.
Thank you for your help,
Sincerely,,,

and the WAN IP address is 10.0.1.1 .
That sounds backwards. The public IP address 196.168.0.4 is administered out of Mauritius, which should make what you see a WAN address. An IP address 10.0.1.1 is a "private" IP address, which you'd expect to see in a LAN behind a NATting router.
(Back to My Mac isn't working properly because you may have more than one device on your network providing Network Address Translation (NAT). Try disabling NAT on one of the devices )
As it says, that means that you are behind multiple layers of routers providing translation of network addresses. Can you tell what WAN address is being assigned to your ADSL modem/router? I'd still try to put that device into "bridge" mode.

Host name benig remove from relative link on some users computers IE 7 or IE8

There are PDF docs stored on a server with and IP as the top level of the URL. i.e https://123.123.12/....
The problem is on certain computer the IP is not displaying when you point on the link and there for the PDF will not display.
Some computer teh path will be correct https://123.123.12/fld1/help/pdf_file.pdf. Computers/users that can't open the link are seeing the link as https:///fld1/help/pdf_file.pdf
Why is the host name being removed from the link on some computers?

WRT150N host name lookup problem

When I try to access a computer on my LAN using the host name I get a unknown host message. When I use the computer's dynamically obtained ip address it works fine.
Does anyone know if there is a way to make a WRT150N router resolve the host name. My old router used to doit, but i can figure out how to make the WRT150N do it.

Let me know the Firmware you are using on WRT150N?
Try uploding the latest firmware on the website 1.01.9 ....

What is exactly "host name"?

Hi there again everyone!
I am being asked to give my host name, it is part of a tutorial for making custom ftp-only accounts on OS X.
I was wondering, is it .. My computer's name?
Perhaps more info would be needed to understand my situation, so here is the link with the tutorial:
http://www.ldml.com/services/support/macosx/ftpUserCreate.html
I am at the "NAT?" section, to get around NATs problem, and it says:
Add the line "advertise all <host>" where <host> is either the host name or external IP address for the FTP server.
Since I have a dynamic IP adress, I though just putting my host name could work, but I wanted to be sure what it was exactly before going further.
If after all it's about domain name (?) or the adress, I've made up an account at DynDNS, and got an adress for my computer which is: nikkormat.kicks-***.net
I though maybe it was asking this adress?
Great thanks in advance for help! I am really stuck at this steps.. :P

Hope this helps.
Definition of: host name
The logical name assigned to a computer. On the Web, most hosts are named WWW; for example, www.mycompany.com. If a site is composed of several hosts, they might be given different names such as support.mycompany.com and sales.mycompany.com. SUPPORT and SALES are the host names, MYCOMPANY the subdomain name, and COM is the top-level domain name.

Oracle BI Action Links

Hi all,
I integrated Oracle BI with Siebel.
It works fine, if I log in with a user and I navigate to my dashboards, the system manages to log me in.
There is only 1 problem that remains.
I want to add action links to my reports, the only problem is that I do not get the option 'action link' in the interaction menu.
Did I forget to configure something? Or is there another problem?
Can someone help me out?
Thanks a lot!

The option only available when you are in the integrated environment. You have to make sure, that you start the integrated environment with the same host name in the url that is entered in the Symbolic URL administration.

Action Links vs. HTML Links - Can you make both open in a new window?

We are creating some reports that and are trying our best to keep them short and to the point. My requirement is that I pull a list of top accounts based on prior year revenue values. That piece is covered. Now that I'm trying to make sure the sales force can get at the details faster I've linked the Account Name field to pull up the account details.
I have done this first using the HTML method and it worked just fine but I found I ended up with a column that had to say something like "Go". Again I'm trying to keep the number of columns down as this is to be a dashboard type report at some point. I simply passed the target=top command to keep the list in the background and just pop open a new window which was ideal as they like keeping the list open behind the drill.
Then I went in and swapped it out to an action link because it looked like I could just have the Account name hyperlinked and it would save me a column. The only thing now is that it seems to want to open in the same window.
I guess my question is that can I either force the Action Link to open a new window when drilled or can I somehow put in an expression into the HTML HREF method to still drill off the account name. I didn't know if there was a way to do this via expressions or not.

There is no such option in InDesign CS6. It has to be accomplished in Acrobat by use of a JavaScript, as I recall. You should ask in the Acrobat forums for more informations.
