Issue with Dashboard customization in OBIEE 11G

Hi All,
I have a dashboard page with 1 prompt and 4 sections. My need is to show all sections minimized when a user logs in to the analytics. So as a Admin I have minimized all sections and saved the customization for others as Default customization.
Now the problem is I have column called Month in my Prompt, which is a Multi select column, for this column I made to select few values by default using SQL results option, which basically selects all months less than current month, for example current month is Jan'13 so values till Dec'12 month will be checked by default. Since we have saved customization, the month column is not getting refreshed , for example when I login to analytics on Feb'13 , the data is still checked till Dec'12, which ideally should also include Jan'13 as well.
Anyone please advise on this issue.
Thanks,
GJ

Hi,
I used this method with success in a number of dashboards, it should work also in your case.
I defined the dashboard prompt to have column values defaulted in some way (by means of specifying explicit values, using SQL results or variables, etc - the method does not matter).
I built the dashboard page including prompt and analyses.
Then I run the dashboard page and, without doing anything other, I collapsed the sections I wanted to start as closed and saved as shared customization.
It does work fine in my case, the prompt works as specified.
Hope this helps,
Cristina

Issue in Dashboard Prompt of OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I had recently migrated from OBIEE 10g to OBIEE 11g.
I had found that there are lot of things which were working on OBIEE 10g are not working in OBIEE 11g.
For Eg:
I have scenario where i have 2 dashboards with different dashboard prompts.
- *1st Dashboard*: I have prompt with 4 columns Year, Month, Qtr and Week. I can filter the data based on the selection of prompt.i.e Summary Report showing all KPIs and when clicked on the any of the KPI it goes to Below report which shows the graphical view of past weeks data.
- Report: Here i show all the week Ids in the Graph format and when clicked on the any week id it navigates to 2nd Dashboard(below) with appropriate week populated in the prompt and show the detailed records.
- *2nd Dashboard*: I have prompt with 5 columns Year, Month, Qtr, Week and Day of the Week with some detailed report. Here the only Week Id should be pre populated and show data based on the week id selection in the above report.
The issue here in OBIEE 11g is, The month Id which was selected in 1st Dashboard prompt is also getting pre populated into the 2nd dashboard prompt. Which should not happen.
Note: This was working fine in OBIEE 10g.
Is there any way to fix this issue in OBIEE 11g.
Regards
Shyam

Hi Bala,
Thank you for your response.
I had tried that and resolved my problem but it was impacting other reports i.e
I have other reports in 1st Dashboard with different tabs, Here i want the prompt value to be persisted across the reports in same dashboard so that when i go to other tab with in same dashboard the prompt value should be pre-populated and the data should be filtered against that.
Now if i change the scope to page then i will be loosing this functionality.
It was working on OBIEE 10g and i lost this after migrating to OBIEE 11g.
Can you please help me in this regard.
Regards
Shyam

Issue with Presentation Hierarchy in obiee 11g

Hi Guru's
I am using a presentation hierarchy in obiee 11 g, but it is behaving weirdly when expanding the hierarchy
for example i have a hierarchy for languages when i expand one country in the hierarchy all the countries which has similar childs are getting expanded
for Example Parent A B C D
under A i have 1, 2,3,4, under B i have 5,6,7,8 under C i have 9, 10 ,11, 12 under D i have 1, 13, 14, 15
so when i expand A in answers D is also getting expanded as i have 1 as common value in both the parents.
can some please help me how to fix this, as the user does not like this expansion
Thanks in advance,

That is strange... I downloaded the files from the left hand side of this page:
[Sample Application site|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/obiee-samples-167534.html]
... the title states quiite clearly that the Sample Application (Build 825) applies to OBIEE release 11g.

Issue with dashboard images in OBIEE11g

We have build a tool in java which is used for customizing the skin and style sheet components
in the OBIEE11g so that the user define their own user interface for the OBIEE11g screens.
The tool behaves erratically/unpredictably when images(Tab,Selected Tab,Unselected Tab,Logo etc) are changed which are basically made up of combination of images on OBIEE11G dashboard . Sometimes all components are not loaded on OBIEE front end and sometimes it cannot load images saying the image contains error.
This issue occurs when we make repeated or frequent changes to components like say dashboard logo changed 4-5 times using the tool but the changes are not reflected on OBIEE 11g dashboard page.. wanted help or insight on how to resolve this issue.

Organizational Chart with specific colors in OBIEE 11g

Hi Gurus,
How to create organizational chart in OBIEE? I tried to follow this link Oracle Business Intelligence by Sandeep Venu: Google Organization Chart in OBIEE 11G
but can't find out how to make specific chart (example chart of manager position) have a red color, the director chart have a green color.
Please help
Regards
JOE

This requirement sounds like it has a possible solution with some html coding. My idea is to :
1) Create a dashboard with two pages.
2) In the first page, create an iframe of the first dashboard.
3) In the second page, create an iframe of the second dashboard.
4) Customize the second dashboard page to have the custom background color.
Please refer to this link on how to customize the dashboard pages: http://www.appsassociates.com/resources/presentations/AA_OBIEE_Customizing_Dashboard_Appearance_NEOAUG_Fall09.pdf
Please assign points if helpful.
Thank you,

Error while using between operator with sql stmts in obiee 11g analytics

Hi All,
when I try to use between operator with two select queries in OBIEE 11g analytics, I'm getting the below error:

can anyone help me out in resolving this issue.

Hi All,
Thank u all for ur replies, but I dint the exact solution for what I'm searching for.
If I use the condition as
"WHERE "Workforce Budget"."Used Budget Amount" BETWEEN MAX("Workforce Budget"."Total Eligible Salaries") AND MAX("Workforce Budget"."Published Worksheet Budget Amount"",
all the data will be grouped with the two columns which I'm considering in the condition.
my actual requirement with this query is to get the required date from a table to generate the report either as daily or weekly or monthly report. If I use repository variables, variables are not getting refreshed until I regenerate the server(which I should not do in my project). Hence I have created a table to hold weekly start and end dates and monthly start and end dates to pass the value to the actual report using between operator.
please could anyone help me on this, my release date is fast approaching.

OBIEE11g issue: hiding header banner in OBIEE 11g?

Hi BI Experts,
I have a requirement which require hiding Search, Advance,Administration etc Header banner and Home, Catalog, Dashboard etc menu banner in OBIEE 11g for some dashboard.
What i need is only the dashboard content to be displayed without any menus or bars even dashboard page name.
I m working on obiee 11g. I m not familiar with customized .css file or xml.
Which .css file or .xml file need to be modified? How?
Please advice.
Thanks advance!
Vince

Thank you, Christian & CSS.
Your updates is very helpfull. I can remove most of these labels.
But Administration, Sign Out, Alert(We have ibots) , Signed In As weblogic are still there, i could not see any label related these links in file saw.sessioninfos.xml.
And also i did remove below:
<resource id="kmsgHeaderAdministration" />
<resource id="kmsgHeaderLogout" />
<resource id="kmsgHeaderAlerts" />
<resource id="kmsgHeaderLoggedInAs" />
in saw.header.xml file, restarted all server, it did not work. How to remove the others?
Another concern is can we remove these only for serval dashboard, not for the whole application?
If we can remove the whole banner instead of removing Label and Link, that would be perfect.
Regards,
Vince

Help with displaying BLOBs in OBIEE 11g

I am trying to get OBIEE 11g to display photographs in an Analysis report. I know BLOB fields are not supported, and I have been reading posts on this board and following examples on internet sites that try to get round this problem. But, try as I might, I cannot get those pesky photos to display.
Below are all the steps I have followed. Sorry that there is a lot to read, but I was hoping that somebody has been successful in doing this, and may spot something in one of my steps that I am doing wrong.
ORACLE TRANSACTIONAL SOURCE_
Table : EMPL_PHOTO
Fields:
USN VARCHAR2(11) ( Unique Key )
EMPLOYEE_PHOTO BLOB ( I think the photos are stored as 'png' )
ORACLE WAREHOUSE SOURCE_
Table : D_PERSON_PHOTO_LKUP
Fields :
PERSON_KEY     NUMBER(38,0) ( Primary Key - Surrogate )
USN     VARCHAR2(11)
PHOTO     CLOB
BLOB to CLOB conversion.
I used this function :
     create or replace function blob_to_clob_base64(p_data in blob)
     return clob
     is
     l_bufsize integer := 16386;
     l_buffer raw(16386);
     l_offset integer default 1;
     l_result clob;
     begin
     dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_result, false, dbms_lob.call);
     loop
     begin
     dbms_lob.read(p_data, l_bufsize, l_offset, l_buffer);
     exception
     when no_data_found then
     exit;
     end;
     l_offset := l_offset + l_bufsize;
     dbms_lob.append(l_result, to_clob(utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(utl_encode.base64_encode(l_buffer))));
     end loop;
     return l_result;
     end;
     select usn, employee_photo ,
     BLOB_TO_CLOB_BASE64(employee_photo)
     from empl_photo
IN OBIEE ADMINISTRATION TOOL_
*1) Physical Layer*
Added D_PERSON_PHOTO_LKUP from Connection Pool
Left it as 'Cachable'
Didn't join it to any tables
Changed field PHOTO to a 'LONGVARCHAR' length 100000
Set USN as the Key ( not the surrogate key )
*2) BMM Layer*
Dragged D_PERSON_PHOTO_LKUP across.
Renamed it to 'LkUp - Photo'
Ticked the 'lookup table' box
Removed the surrogate key
Kept USN as the Primary key
The icon shows it similar to a Fact table, with a yellow key and green arrow.
On Dimension table D_PERSON_DETAILS (Dim - P01 - Person Details) added a new logical column
Called it 'Photo'
Changed the column source to be derived from an expression.
Set the expression to be :
Lookup(DENSE
"People"."LkUp - Photo"."PHOTO",
"People"."Dim - P01 - Person Details"."USN" )
Icon now shows an 'fx' against it.
Note: This table also had it Surrogate key removed, and USN setting as primary key.
*3) Presentation Layer*
Dragged the new Photo field across.
Saved Repository file, uploaded, and restarted server.
ONLINE OBIEE_
Created a new Analysis.
Selected USN from 'Person Details'
Selected Photo from 'Person Details'
Selected a measure from the Fact table
Under column properties of Photo ( data format ) :
- Ticked 'Override Default Data Format' box
- Set to Image URL
- Custom text format changed to : @[html]"<img alt="" src=""@H"">"
Under column properties of Photo ( edit formula ) :
- Changed to : 'data:image/png;base64,'||"Person Details"."Photo"
The Advanced tab shows the sql as :
     SELECT
     0 s_0,
     "People"."Person Details"."USN" s_1,
     'data:image/png;base64,'||"People"."Person Details"."Photo" s_2,
     "People"."MEASURE"."Count" s_3
     FROM "People"
     ORDER BY 1, 2 ASC NULLS LAST, 3 ASC NULLS LAST
     FETCH FIRST 65001 ROWS ONLY
Going into the 'results' tab, get error message:
+State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 932, message: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CLOB at OCI call OCIStmtExecute. [nQSError: 17010] SQL statement preparation failed. (HY000)+
It doesn't seem to be using the Lookup table, but can't work out at which step I have gone wrong.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks, yes I followed http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/bi.1111/e10540/busmodlayer.htm#BGBDBDHI, but when I get to the part of setting the LOOKUP function on th Physical source, only ONE physical source is displayed. I need TWO sources ( The Employee Table, and the Photo LookUp.
I have raised this as an error with Oracle. We are now on OBIEE 11.1.1.7, but Oracle say BLOBS are still not supported in that release. It will be fixed in 11.1.1.8 and it will be backported into 11.1.1.6.11
In the meantime we have abandoned showing Photo's in any of our reports.

Issues with offline provisioning in OIM 11G

We are facing an issue with OIM 11G where we are trying to provision few resources via offline provisioning. Ths issue is that when I do a provisioning/disable/enable on the resource the status of the resource says something like "provisioning in queue/Disable in queue/Enable in queue". This is not happenning all the time but seems to be consistent when I repeatedly disable/enable the resource. Once the status of hte resource remains "in queue" it is never changed back to the actual status which says provisioned/disabled/enabled. Can anyone provide me an insight of what is happenning here and how the offline events are processed within OIM? Is there any way to get the status of the resource back to normal? Please let me know.
Thanks!
