How to prevent an automatic refresh of a dashboard

Hi,
Currently OBIEE automatically refreshes all reports of a dashboard once it's selected. This often causes a heavy load on our databases. The question is: how can I prevent an automatic refresh? I only want the dashboard to be refreshed once I click on the "Go" button of the dashboard prompt!
TIA,
Erik

Hi Eric,
In the dashboard, better create a landing page. In this landing page just add the dashboard object (link or image).
Once this is configured, user have an option to navigate to the report through link.
Even we can configure the common prompts/ global prompts at the front (Landing page) with the note to the user on navigation.
By this way, you can have the control of dashboard refresh.
Thanks,

How to prevent data from refreshing in a dashboard

Hello all.
I have several dashboards. One of them uses 6 analyses. User wants to see data (static) for 1 week. So, update/refresh should occur on Monday at 12p.m.
I have agent schedule to run 1 time per week. But for some reason analysis still updates/refreshes.
What are my options here? Note. the same tables are used in other reports/analysis.
Thank you,
Sonya

SonyaDo you know if there is any cache purging mechanism in place? If there is, try running the agent accordingly.( Once a day if cache is to be purged after every ETL load).

How to prevent JFileChooser automatically changing to parent directory?

When you show only directories, and click on the dir icons to navigate, and then dont select anything and click OK, it automatically 'cd's to the parent folder.
My application is using the JFileChooser to let the user navigate through folders and certain details of 'foo' files in that folder are displayed in another panel.
So we dont want the chooser automatically changing dir to parent when OK is clicked. How to prevent this behavior?
I considered extending the chooser and looked at the Swing source code but it is hard to tell where the change dir is happening.
thanks,
Anil
To demonstrate this, I took the standard JFileChooserDemo from the Sun tutorial and modified it adding these lines
          // NEW line 45 in constructor
          fc.addPropertyChangeListener((PropertyChangeListener) this);
          fc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
      * NEW -
      * @see java.awt.event.ActionListener#actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent)
     public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent e) {
          String prop = e.getPropertyName();
          if (JFileChooser.DIRECTORY_CHANGED_PROPERTY.equals(prop)) {
               System.out.println("DIRECTORY_CHANGED_PROPERTY");
               File file = (File) e.getNewValue();
               System.out.println("DIRECTORY:" + file.getPath());
     }

Here is the demo:

Sequence file Version number. How to prevent the automatic resetting build version number whilst auto-incrementing revision number?

Hi,
I've got my environment set this way that each save of the sequence file increase the revision part of version number. However, during that increase the build counter is reset to 0. How to prevent it?
TS 4.2

Mimi,
It is pretty common practice in software revisioning to reset a minor number to 0 when a major moves up 1. There are many different schemes out there. If you google or bing software versioning schemes you'll see what I'm talking about.
So looking at it from left to right: Major.Minor.Revision.Build = 0.0.0.1
if you change the Revision it would be expected that anything to the right (in this case Build) would reset to 0. 0.0.1.0!
Let's say your version is 8.34.56.23. It would make sense that if you were to change the Major number (which means a Major release) to 9 then your version would go to: 9.0.0.0.
A version number is just a unique way to tell someone which specific software you are using so it really doesn't matter that it resets to 0. Although it makes sense because if you kept your build number sequential and didn't reset it then it would get outrageously larger which would be more annoying than anything.
Again this is common accepted practice in industry.
Good Luck,

How to prevent Finder automatically uncompressing gzipped downloads?

Hi all,
When I download a gzipped file (e.g. tar.gz), Finder automatically gunzips it. I find this annoying. Any way to switch this behaviour off?

Hi, H-S T.
You've not stated how you are downloading the files. If I presume you mean via your Web browser, and that browser is Safari, then in in the Safari > Preferences > General tab, deselect (uncheck) Open "safe" files after downloading.
WIth Safari, this is an all-or-nothing proposition: deselect this option and no files downloaded with your browser will open automatically.
Other browsers, such as OmniWeb., permit you to select specific applications related to types of files that you wish to consider "safe."
If what I've outlined above does not describe your situation, please provide more details, i.e. how you are downloading the files, what browser you are using, etc.
Good luck!

How do you stop automatic refreshing

How can I stop Firefox from constantly refreshing pages. It is driving me mad when reading newspapers etc. online that the pages are refreshing every 1 - 2 minutes. There use to be a fix which worked but of course with all the unwanted upgrades that stopped working a few unwanted upgrades ago.

How to prevent an automatic fill in of the current date into a Date/Time Field

hi,
maybe i checked out a strange behaviour of the adobe designer. when i put a "normal" data/time field (with no data pattern, display pattern, etc.) on a form and then change (on the pdf preview tab) to the newly designed date field,i have to stay about 2 minutes on this field not filling it out.
after these minutes the current date is filled in automatically in the date/time field.
what can i do preventing that? any hints?
thanks in advance.

I don't have any info on timelines, all I can say is check back in future versions of Acrobat :(

How to prevent the automatic full-white repainting of an AWT Frame?

Using Java 1.6.0, Windows XP, 1.6.0-b105 Client VM I have the following problem:
I made a double buffered AWT frame. But it still flashes sometimes. It gives one flash about 6 seconds after start of application. There seems to be an incoming event "for no discernible reason". I have overridden all paint/repaint/update methods in my Frame sub class.
These unwanted flashes are caused by the AWT painting the frame in white and then calling paint.
I may have caught these weird calls:
The good/normal case looks like:
java.lang.Exception: Stack trace
at java.lang.Thread.dumpStack(Thread.java:1206)
at xed.xed_Frame.paint(xed_Frame.java:125)
at xed.xed_Frame.update(xed_Frame.java:119)

at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:160)
at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:121)
The differences in the bad case: (Not all traces of this kind cause the flashing. But after all flashes there seems to be such a trace.)
at xed.xed_Frame.paint(xed_Frame.java:125)
at sun.awt.RepaintArea.paintComponent(RepaintArea.java:248)
at sun.awt.RepaintArea.paint(RepaintArea.java:224)
at sun.awt.windows.WComponentPeer.handleEvent(WComponentPeer.java:301)
So how do I stop these unwanted white redraws of the Frame?

Accidentally found the answer:
System.setProperty("sun.awt.noerasebackground", "true");

Automatic Refresh of Xcelsius dashboard with Live Office connection

Hi,
I have an Xcelsius dashbaord which has Live Office connectivity to universe query. Universe is build on a Bex query. Now, I need to auto refresh my dashboard say every 15 seconds.
Under 'Data > Connection' menu, I could find 'Refresh every' option for refreshing the dashboard at specified interval. However, it doesn't seem to work. Also, the user guide for Xcelsius 2008 SP3 indicates that this auto refresh is only for QaaWS, Web Services, and XML Data connections only.
Can someone let me know if this is still the case? Is it possible to have auto refresh for LO connection ? If not, what is the best alternative? I believe QaaWS would work.
Thanks,
Bhargav

Well its still possible to refresh LO connection every 15second. You can use play selector which counts 0-15. Then bind your LO connection refresh option to Play Selector's destination, make it When value becomes 15.

Preventing the automatic download and installation of iOS 8

Once again this becomes an issue. How to prevent the automatic download and installation of iOS 8. Thanks.

Grrrrr. This needs a solution. I have a portable wifi account I use for teaching (mainly Apple devices) and when traveling. It updates my download capacity in 1gb chunks at $10 each. Just traveling at the moment, and this coincides with Apple updates. Three devices, @ 2 odd gb ea, all deciding to update while I drive. By the time I got the update notices from Optus, all three devices had downloaded the updates and were waiting for me to press install. I don't mind installing, but I don't want to pay $60 for the downloads thru this account. I think Apple owes me $60. There's no reason they can't set a restriction on this type of download for user nominated accounts. This is a significant issue for a lot of people. Please Apple,

I want to prevent open websites from automatically refreshing.

I work with many tabs open at the same time during my work day. I wonder if the fact that they automatically refresh frequently is a factor in slowing Firefox. How can I disable the automatic refresh? I do not with to close and reopen as they all require logins and it takes too much time.

Sorry, it looks that my reply above ended up in the wrong thread.
I'm not aware of a way to prevent automatic refresh if the page uses JavaScript to achieve this.
It is also possible to do this via a meta refresh tag.
In some cases this extension can help.
*RefreshBlocker: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/refreshblocker/
It doesn't work with refresh done via JavaScript as will be used in most cases these days.

When I sign into or out of Gmail - many other pages automatically refresh. How do I stop this?

I hate automated things, when it's NON consensual and it's part of some automated bullshit trip.
I might have half finished texts on the other open tabs, or what ever, but it's MY bandwidth to chew up on things I see fit, not the people of Mozilla, or Google or whoever.
And while the account page is gmail, that I am signing into or out of, the other pages are NOT google pages either.
I think the designers of the "refresh / automatic refresh" should be shot - because the reason I have a PAGE (tab) open, is because I want to access THAT page, and not a later version of it...
This auto-reload / refresh of some tabs absolutely annoys the piss out of me, because I did not ask for it, and there is NO apparently easy up front way to stop it from happening - which I also think is one of the best way to alienate users of a product - by building in a host of idiot functions with NO control over them.
So how do i stop this from happening?

''the-edmeister [[#answer-690349|said]]''
<blockquote>
That may be happening for websites that participate in Google+. ''IOW, Google+ knows about a lot of things you use on the internet; like they're following you around.'' You may want to check those websites to verify that they are connected with the Google+ program, or not. ''In that case, my hypothesis is incorrect.''
I think what happens is that you sign in at Gmail, which is a Google+ sign-in these days, and all the other web pages that participate in the Google+ program somehow "sense" that you have just logged into Google+ and reload their page to reflect that you are nowlogged into the Google+ program. Google+ was originally an "option" at Gmail, but that ended not to long after Google+ came about - like within 6 months or so.

One solution is to stay logged into Google+ / Gmail all the time. Another is to transition away from Gmail over time and use a different web-mail platform instead; and eventually stop using Gmail altogether.

Yeah this is sounding like "THE PROBLEM" and what drives it. However, the solutions you have offered are not "solutions", in that they do not "FIX" the issues, they merely circumvent or bypass them.

How to prevent automatic download and install of Reader 8.1.2

Hi-
I have Adobe Reader 7.0.9 and I need to keep it as my default Adobe reader program and plug-in for some applications that I use.
Over the last week, Adobe reader 8.1.2 downloads automatically and installs itself in my business laptop (Win XP SP2) and replaces my 7.0.9 version.
Each time I uninstall the 8.1.2 and reinstall the 7.0.9. I ensure the option of automatic download and install is disabled in 7.0.9.
But it still happens I have for the xth time today the new 8.1.2 in my laptop.
Anybody knows what is going on ? And how can I solve this issue to keep my 7.0.9 version ?
Thanks.

That's *not* a good thing to hear.
After the download finishes, do NOT press the Install Now button. Try the following to remove the download from the device. Here's the procedure I came up with last time this happened with iOS 7...It may or may not work.
Re: Apple Forced iOS7 update on my iPad2 !
Afterwards if you succeed, block Apple's update server using the following method so it wont get pushed to the device again:
In your router's settings, set up a block (using Access Restrictions or similar in the router's web interface) to mesu.apple.com. This will prevent the devices from "phoning home" to Apple, checking for the update and getting the download pushed to it again.
Or follow the instructions at this link:
