How to hide a dashboard in OBIEE 11g?

Hi All,
How do we hide a complete dashboard in OBIEE 11g? A particular dashboard page can be hidden by going to dashboard properties but there is no option to hide a complete dashboard. Also, in Administration, there is no 'Manage Interactive Dashboard' section like it was there in OBIEE 10g where we could hide a particular dashboard.
Thanks in Anticipation,
Karan

Hi,
Go to your dashboard page --> there is catalog folder is available here you can restrict hiding dashboard users.
and dashboard folder under shared folder right click dashboard permission --> No Acess also set that dashboard property as "Hiden"
Thanks

How to Hide a column in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I am trying to hide a column of presantation layer table in OBIEE 11g. But it is not working.
I am doing the follwoing.
Open the permission tab of the column.
Given no access to Everyone.
Given No access the user/Application Role.
When i go to web, the column is getting displayed in the table list. But, when i select the column and press the result button, it is not giving the result.
It means, by doing the above steps it is restricting the data but visibility of column is already there.
Same way it works for OBIEE 10g. Could you please let me know this feature has been removed from 11g or if it is still there then how we can achieved that.
Thanks in Advance
Niraj

It's a bug in OBIEE 11.1.1.5.

How to hide/show dashboards for user/groups

Hi,
Please help on how to hide/show dashboard menu/sub menu to users/groups based on their profile settings.
thanks in advance.
regards,
kumar.

Hi Jinu,
1) Do some or all of those subreports span multiple pages?
2) Do each of the Subreports start on a new page?
If yes, for both, then here's what you need to do:
1) Create a formula (@True) with this code:
shared booleanvar SetStatus:= True
2) Create another formula (@False) with this code:
shared booleanvar SetStatus:= False
Drag and drop the @True formula on the details sections for which you want the Page Footer to be suppressed.
Similarly, drop the @False formula on the details sections for which you want the Page Footer to show up.
Then, go to the Section Expert > Select Page Footer c > Click the formula button beside Suppress and use this code:
shared booleanvar SetStatus;

Cannot get into 'Dashboard Properties' (OBIEE 11g) using IE 8

When I enter an OBIEE 11g dashboard (as an Administrator) and click on "*Edit Dashboard*" & then click on "*Dashboard Properties*":
1) the "*Dashboard Properties*" box pops up but...
2) only the upper porting of the "*Dashboard Properties*" box displays
3) the lower portion of the box never displays...it just stays all white. This portion is where the grid that would normally display the list of dashboard pages (where I could choose to hide pages)
4) at the bottom left-had part of my browser, it says "*(11 items remaining)*"
5) my browser stays locked like this & the only way to get out of it is to ctrl+alt+del
Several things to note:
1) I'm not sure when this started happening, but I noticed it sometime last week. I know in the past I was able to get into the dashboard properties, but now I cannot.
2) I am on OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0
3) I am on Win7 32-bit
4) I am on version IE 8.0.7601.17514
5) I can run OBIEE in Firefox and edit the dashboard properties just fine. This issue does not seem to exist in Firefox
6) If I change to "*compatibility view*" in IE 8, I seem to be able to go into the "*Dashboard Propeties*" box just fine...HOWEVER, when I try to go into "*Edit Dashboard*" (while in "*compatibility view*") many of my objects (columns/sections) overlap & are weirdly placed all over the screen.
7) I have tried modifying the httpd.conf file as per the official Oracle white paper relating to OBIEE 11g in IE8 (Doc ID 1312299.1) and it didn't seem to fix my issue
8) I have also tried uninstalling & re-installing IE8 but that also did not seem to fix my issue.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, any suggestions on what one might do to fix it?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Good suggestion. I have tried IE 8 and 9 and Firefox with the same results. An error is thrown in IE 8:
"Message: Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus."
I believe this is referring to the fact that it cannot move focus to the username text field as the field is not displayed.
Another note, our steps for upgrade were as follows so not sure if this is part of the problem:
1. Install 11.1.1.3 OBIEE
2. Upgrade to 11.1.1.5 OBIEE
3. Run ua.bat for publisher schema and repository
4. Now, do not see username/pw at login and thus cannot login

How to deploy repository manually in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I understand that the RPD to be deployed in EM(enterprise Manager) in OBIEE 11g. But unfortunatley we are unable to open core-application in EM for RPD Deployment. The EM is very slow.
Can any one help me in deploying RPD MANUALLY or by using some command prompts other than in EM..
Thanks.

You have to disable the central configuration:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10541/disable_em.htm#BEIIAEGD
Change your repository in the file nqsconfig.ini
and
change the password if needed in the credential store ...
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/_detail/dat/obiee/obiee11g_credential_store.jpg?id=dat%3Aobiee%3Acredential
But if you can't open EM, it will be very difficult and may be you must have to add resource (memory, ...) to your server.

How to implement WriteBack feature in OBIEE 11g?

I have implemented all steps but with no success. Can any one share what are loop holes in implementation the same?

Hi,
Please check the below steps and refer the below links.

1. Problem your XMl Script
2. If null value not present in your columns in your table in database.The ; problem has occured.
please check below steps.
1. Are you using OCI or ODBC in your connection pool? Try it with OCI Call Interface 11g.
2.Remove the commit tag from the XML file.
<postUpdate>COMMIT</postUpdate>
=============================================================================================================
This xml file working for me.
Insert--
A couple of small adjustments got your XML to work here:
<?xml version="1.0"; encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1";>
<WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
<WebMessage name="WriteBack">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="Connection Pool">
<insert> INSERT INTO FACT (PRICE,PRODUCT_KEY,REGION_KEY,SALE_UNIT,TIMEKEY,SALES_QUOTA)
values (@{c7},@{c8},@{c9},@{c10},@{c11},@{c5} ) </insert>
<update> </update>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
The <writeBack> tag is written with a lower case "w".
The "connetionPool" needs an upper case "P".
Update--
I think that you have to specify also an SQL statement for the update tag, for example:
<?xml version="1.0"; encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1";>
<WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
<WebMessage name="pmet_update">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="PMTCOG">
<insert> select null from dual</insert>
<update> UPDATE XREF_PMET_URL SET URL= '@{c1}' WHERE API='@{c0}'</update>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
The witeback wants for both the tags (<insert></insert> and <update></update>) an SQL Statement.
Hope this help's
Thanks

How to hide a Dashboard prompt in an ibot delivery.

Hi All.
I need to schedule an ibot delivery for a Dashboard into a PDF. There is a prompt on the dashboard , which also appears in the PDF which the users say they don't want to see it.
Instead they want the Dashboard name printed on the dashboard dynamic like " Name " as of "October 2008".
Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

Hi Sridhar,
I think I have a part of your solution.
You can add guided navigation to the section of your dashboard prompt, to conditionally display the section. Click on the properties button of the section in the edit dashboard page, to see what I mean.
So the trick is to create a report which returns records when the dashboard is run by a normal user (dashboard prompt will be shown), and no records when the dashboard is run by the ibot (section will be hidden).
I don't know how this report should look like, maybe you can play around with the session variable of the iBot sender.
Regards,
Stijn

Security in Dashboards in OBIEE 11g

I want to deploy user/group based security in 11g dashboards. I have followed the following steps.
1. Create user in <ip>:<port>/console. This user is not mapped to any group/role.
2. Now I login to analyics using Administrator credentials and navigate to Catalog.
3. I have 5 different Dashboards and BIConsumer role have read and traverse rights in all the dashboards.
4. Now i go to one of the Dashboard and click on permissions and provide read and traverse rights to newly created user.
5. When i login to the user he can see all the Dashboards inspite of having access to only one dashboard.
6. However for example if I remove access to one the Dashboard from the BIConsumer role then the newly created user wont see the Dashboard.
What am I doing wrong. It was far easier to do this is 10g. Please help

Although on restarting opmn the user has access to the same. Can you help me in this.

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..

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.

Hi,
In dashboard prompts values are shown as sets of 256 and I know it can be customizable but my question is..."Is there any limit on records to extract as we have it in Analysis"? If yes, what is the max limit and where to configure this?
Thanks in advance.

How to manipulate the total in obiee 11g

Hello,
I would like to know if its possible to customize the Grand total in the table.
I just added the grand total in a table.The table has 7 columns.5 columns the grand total is just a sum so no problem but the 6 and 7 column is % column its like
grand total of col 6->(grand total of col3-grand total of col4 /grand total of col4 ).
Is there a way i can do this?
Thanks

You can add this formula in column 6 like (col3- col4/sum(col4)) but at the total level you will get the tables first row value. This is the bug in 10g & 11g.
