Hyperlink in obiee email reports

Hi,
Well I have a question on hyperlink in obiee dashboards.
The requirement is to email obiee Report or dashboard with Hyperlink
enabled on date column which opens up PDF from the server for that
date.
End user will not access obiee analytics at all. They will access only their emails.
I have tried creating a sample dashboard and put a link on it for a
webpage. It works well inside when run or viewing a dashboard but link
doesn't work when emailed ,exported. The link doesn't even show on the
report.
Can you tell me if we can implement something like this in obiee to
enable hyperlink or action links when emailed too.

Since user is no access he not able to see the reports, try to give access or else create a common user and use that in the url.
If helps mark
Thanks

Can OBIEE deliver reports to email addresses of non-OBIEE users?

We are considering using OBIEE, but one of our requirements is to be able to schedule and deliver basic reports (Excel or PDF perhaps) via email to a relatively large number of recipients.
When I say "relatively large number" - what I mean is: more recipients than we want to buy licenses for. These recipients would not need or be allowed access to anything other than the scheduled report that we send to them on a weekly or monthly basis, so it makes no sense for us to buy licenses for them.
But from what I can find so far, OBIEE only delivers reports to licensed users.
Is there in fact some way to schedule and email reports to any (non-user) email address from within OBIEE?
Or would I need a separate third party solution to accomplish this? (Any suggestions would be appreciated!)
Thanks!

If you store the ppl in a table (basically any datasource you attack with the rpd), you create a request pulling up all the targeted user, then in the "Recipients" tab of the iBot, you can choose
"Determine recipients from conditional request"
Then you specify the "Column Containing Recipients".

Email reports with graphs as HTML (via schedule)

== W2K machine with Oracle Reports Server 6i R2 ==
How can I schedule/design a report if sent via email (in HTML format), so the graph that is part of the reports shows up? Currently, the gif is missing. I can use the "hyperlink" in the web setting to point to the file on the web server, but this means my "customers" need to click the missing object.
If I send the report as PDF, all is well but again, my customers need to "open" the file.
Is there a way to email reports with graphs as HTML?
In any other format where the receiver does not have to take any other action?
Thx
Josh

Hyperlink from PL SQL Report to a branch

Hi,
Is there a "good" way to hyperlink from PL SQL report to a branch?
I cant use the regular report, as there is a lot of data and I need to control the layout.
I would like to go to another page and pass data to one known field.
Have tried googling and I found this page:
http://www.lucidprocess.com/blog/building-hyperlinks-in-oracle-apex-reports/
But it seems a bit "hacky", eg.. many places to edit if the page where to move or change in the future (or if one copies the page).
Is there a more "clean" way to do this, or does one have to get his/her hands dirty for such a task?

Thank you.
I managed to write the other code too:
"f?p='||:APP_ID||':686:'||:APP_SESSION||'::'||:DEBUG||'::P686_TBNR,P686_VIS_REGISTER:'||oppdrag.PE_TBNR_BET||'%2CHUSKNYTT"instead of firing the branch and using JS, I just set the two fields that change the logic and basis of the page. However as you see, the "flaw" with the code I wrote, is that if the fields or anything were to change, it will be harder to go in and edit reports that have this type of code.
Have just started with APEX, but I must say I like it a lot..
Just wish there where something inbetween the sql reports and the pl sql reports..
The possibilities of the PL SQL Reports meeting the SQL Reports flexibility would be super.
However, maybe it's good not everything is served on a plate, as this forces me to learn it more in depth. I also love challenges and I like making things properly :-)

OBIEE 11g Report UI not showing data

Hi,
On Obiee 11g Report, the query hit by the report at the backend shows results for all the columns but on UI only few of these columns show the data. From Query log, when I run the same query in the database I see all columns have data which is somehow not showing up on the UI end. What could be the problem? Can this be resolved or is it a bug in the OBIEE 11g?
Regards
VM

Hi Vanaja M/Gurus,
Is that your problem resolved?
I'm facing same issue here.
I was checking for solution/suggestions in blogs, but unfortunately i couldn't find much information in blogs too....
Can you help me out to cross this hurdle, as this issue is in Production.

ToolTip in OBIEE 11G Reports when we hover on its data!!

Hello gurus,
I have a requirement where I have to display ToolTip in OBIEE 11G reports when one hovers on its data. For example, If I have a column in a report which displays "serial no." say the data in column is 1,2,3,4,5 etc. when I hover on 1, it should display name corresponding to it. when I hover on 2, it should display another name.
These values which will be displayed on hover action can be hardcoded, they are static values.
Thanks in advance !!

Hi User,
Try this , Goto Column Properties of a particular Column ->Data Format->Check mark "Override Default Data Format" and select
Treat Numbers As : Custom
In Custom Numeric Format, Copy paste this code: [html]#
Please Mark helpful if it is correct.
Regards,
OBIEELearner.

Variables in email reporting or quiz variables in captions for captivate 4?

Hi,
Captivate 4, cp4
I have been all around the forums without getting an exact answer to what I want to do. Perhaps there isn't one but, anyway...
I am trying to collect quiz information. I just want a simple collection of data that shows that someone has completed the quiz, which just a set of multiple response statements, and who that someone is. I have started by using Text Entry Boxes (TEB) to collect their name and assigned a variable (v_Name) to this to reuse the information in a certificate. So far so good and this works. I have set up email reporting on the quiz and, providing users actually hit the button and accept both messages, the email gets sent. All I am looking for in the email is that a user has completed the quiz. The score and results do not matter. Now, here comes the issue. I would like to record the user's name (v_Name) in the quiz results that are emailed in. No matter how many reporting options or marks I give the TEB or what options for reporting I select the information will not appear in the emailed report. I can set up a question slide to ask for the name and this will appear in my emailed report but will not appear in my certificate.
Any ideas?
I have tried to play around with padMail in the resulting HTML to try and draw out the variables but had no luck (I am a JavaScript novice).
Is there a way of emailing a slide view? Or a widget to do this (I have been unable to find one).
LMS is not a solution at the moment and upgrading is unlikely to happen as I am still trying to get all Captivate users in the office up to 4 from 3!
Is it possible to take a quiz answer and use it like a TEB variable and put it into another slide via a caption? E.G., $$Interaction1234$$ or some action script to make v_Name = interaction1234?
I am looking for a simple solution. I have looked into all of the post to database articles and they have been somewhat helpful but I am only trying to capture simple data so as the users can just be ticked off as having completed it.
I am not holding out much hope. It seems quizzing in Captivate is good for self-assessment and to provide branching but the reporting feature is a bit of a failure.
Thanks very much to anyone who just reads this and gets this far!
Even more thanks to anyone who is willing to share ideas.
Greig

Email reporting has so many potential failure points that (in my opinion) it has to be considered one of those reporting options that you only use as a last resort when nothing else is open to you. LMS reporting is by far the best way to go, but that's just not an option for many people. Adobe kindly provided External Server Reporting as an option in Captivate 5, but that also requires access to a server running PHP and at least some technical exoertise.
In your case, the only things I can suggest trying are to make sure your publish folder location has been added to Flash Player Global Security as a trusted location, or to upload your published project files to a web server and test from there. Sometimes this email reporting issue turns out to be Flash security related.
The email reporting widget is definitely worth a shot and is very inexpensive when you consider how many hours you can spend trying to chase down these issues.
In the end, if you get email reporting to work reliably, consider yourself one of the lucky few.

Hide URL in PDF output in hyperlink , Maintain History within reports

hi
i have some issues to discuss for report output in pdf format.
we are using java application to call reports via AS 10g, my issue are
1) Hide URL in PDF output for hyperlink created.(Using username/password in Key is not enough)
2) Maintain history as i call second report from my parent report then i want to go back to parent report.(Note here go.history or history.go(-1) work in HTML output format but not in PDF)
3)To Call Child PDF report in new window(here again working fine target="_blank" for HTML output but not for PDF)
regards
abid

Hi Ram,
Not sure if this is possible.
However, one workaround might be the following:
1. Write a javascript that submits the URL using, say a POST method, and does not show the parameters in the URL. You will have to write this javascript code in the "Before Report" Report Escape. For a generic example on how to use javascript in a report, see Metalink Note 125652.1. This note shows javascript to disable the right-click of the mouse on the report output.
2. Use the Hyperlink peroperty of the report to call this javascript function, eg,
javascript:myfunction('http://machine:port/reports/rwservlet?report=...+server=...+empno=&empno')
I am not a javascript expert, so I cannot give you an example of the function, but I hope someone in your team can find out.

Reporting services emailed reports viewed on iphone

Our Exec team requires the ability to view emailed reports on their iphones.
Our Environment uses the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP1) - 10.0.2531.0 (Intel X86) Mar 29 2009 10:27:29 Copyright (c) 1988-2008 Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.2 <X86> (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)
Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Version 10.0.2531.0
Users are part of a subscription that emails a report using the MHTML render format. When an exec tries to open the email, they can only view a small portion of the report.. with no ability to scroll. Apparently this is due to Reporting
Services add the Overflow: auto tag to the style. Any way of working around/fixing this for mobile users?
If the email is forwarded, after it is received, outlook (or some form of magic) strips the formatting and the report is viewable.
That said, this is not a viable option for the exec team.

I'm a database developer / BI guy, I don't know much about DOM and don't know how to create a new rendering extention (not sure I have time for it). Can you please explain your solution a bit more or at a different level or something?
Is there a simple BI way of solving this without having to export to PDF? The problem with PDF is that our users only need to look at it on PDF when they are on the iphone because it doesn't display right, otherwise they look at it in Outlook most
of the time.

How to email reports via SMTP server FORMS AND REPORTS 6i and databse 8i

Dear All,
through reports builder reports are build but i need to email reports via SMTP server is it possible in 6i are not?if yes the how please rep asap

If it will be a scheduled report, you can create a batch file to run report with reqd parameters and generate it's pdf in a oracle directory.
Then schedule the batch file on oracle database pc, (thru task scheduler if OS is windows),
Then a email procedure will be required which will pick up the pdf from oracle directory, attach it and send mail.
Even the email procedure can be scheduled thru oracle job, but the OS batch schedule time and Oracle Job time should be handled as some gap will be needed between the two.
As for the email smtp procedure with attachments, you can find one in this forum or try googling it.

Images not showing up in email reports

I have several reports set to email to myself and various managers every week. These reports have the company logo embedded in them. When I view the report on grid, it works fine but the emailed report only has an image placeholder instead of the actual image. Does anybody know how to fix this? Is it a bug with Grid?
By the way, I'm using version 10.2.0.4 on Windows Server 2003.

Well I think the problem may be that Oracle just doesn't play nicely with most email programs. I run linux on my desktop and use Thunderbird to check my email. This is where I was getting the problem. When I tried it on a Windows machine using Outlook, it worked just fine. To be thorough, I also checked it on Mail on my Mac and it came out pretty much unreadable.
So my guess is that Oracle made sure it worked on Outlook and then walked away. Disappointing from a company that claims to support open standars.
Anybody else have similar experiences?

Hyperlink to a html report

Hi ,
I`m using LV2009.
I have simulated a test report of a test board and generated a HTML report in the VI. The generated HTML report is saved in the file in some folder in the hard drive.
All I wann is the hyperlink to the HTML report in the front panel.
I saw few posts in the forum on the hyperlink but majority dealt with the excel sheets.
Looking forward for your solutions.

Email report

Hi,
Using the email reporting feature in the Quiz Manager, is
there anyway to have the report sent via email automatically. I
would prefer very much not to have to rely on the user clicking a
submit button to activate this feature.
I also am having trouble with the data contained in the
report sent via email, or a lack thereof. I read previous posts in
this forum that suggested the email feature only works when using
the .html file. Even when using the .html file, my mail program (MS
Outlook) opens a new blank message when using Firefox, and sends a
report as an attachment in .ATT (?) file format when using IE.
Thanks,
Paul

Welcome to our community
Captivate 5 offers an alternate reporting feature that uses Acrobat.com or your internal file server. Nothing changes with Captivate 5 as far as E-Mail reporting goes. And frankly, I'd be surprised if it did because the issue isn't really Captivate related. Instead, it's related to different ways that different E-mail clients work.
Incidentally, there is no Captivate CS5. But I do see many folks confusing the name with the Adobe Creative Suite 5. Captivate isn't part of the Creative Suite of products.
Cheers... Rick

REP-0081 error when emailing report output

I am using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT to execute a report from a form. I have the report set up as a Report object in the form. The report runs fine to screen or to file, but I am getting an error when attempting to email report in batch mode:
REP-0081: Error during file I/O operation.
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'mpa02448.pdf'.
scaba 14
Execution Mode = Batch
Report Destination = Mail
Report Destination Name = [email protected]
Report Destination Format = PDF
I am able to send email to the same address via UTL_SMTP directly from the form, so it is not an email handler problem.
Any ideas?

I have verified the latest patches.
Addresses are indeed in Windows address book.
As far as verifying permissions on the file, the file does not exist. It would appear that the error is generated when creating the PDF file, before emailing occurs. Again, however, I do not have problems writing to file directly.
Is there a default directory used when emailing report for file creation? Perhaps the permissions on that directory need to be changed. Please advise.
