Issues with BI publisher report in dashboard

Hello all,
I got some issues about BI publisher reports in a dashboard.
I use a dashboard prompt in combination with a BIP report.
1.) I don't want to see the publisher control bar in my dashboard. Now you can't view the report anymore after using the dashboard prompt. Because it says you have to press the view button which is on the publisher control bar.
So when I add the bar. Then I have first to press on go in the dashboard prompt and after that I have to press on view in the publisher control bar.
2.) When I open my dashboard I see a scroll bar in my BIP report. Now when I use the dashboard prompt, it disappears. So I can't view the entire report anymore
3.) I like to develop in english, but the test must be in dutch. Now I have a english dashboard with a dutch control bar. Also logging in to BIP in english and then navigating to analytics will not help.
4.) I can't use I-bots on BI publisher reports, or can I?
5.) This is not really an issue, but more like a problem but I want that users can view the BIP report on the dashboard only in HTML, but I want that they only can export to excel, is this possible?
Hoping for some answers ;)
Thanks in advance!

Hi Venkat,
Thanks for your quick respond.
1.) Auto Run is enabled. And the report runs automatically as well. But then it ignores the dashboard prompt (as a regular report would do as well). But when I choose some values in the prompt and then press go. Then it says I have to press on view as well.
2.) no that is not the case. My report is so big that it always need a scroll bar ;) also adjusting the size settings in the dashboard doesn't help. The only occurs when viewing in HTML, when previewing in excel or RTF it all just work fine.
3.) true, but ow well this is the least importetant one ;) so if this doesn't work, than it doesn't work ;)
4.) Ok, I will have a look on that.
5.) I did enabled HTML and EXCEL outputs in my BIP report. But when the first point is working, then I don't want to see the control bar anymore and I want to have the output on the dashboard in HTML and then I want to build a button, or a link or something that exports the request to excel. Is that possible?

Issue with Exceptions in Reporting

Hi BW Gurus,
            I am still new to BW, Like I have a issue with exceptions in reporting.
            Let me explain clearly, I created a report which gives me two MRP values they are for example V1 and PD(there other MRP types but I am focusing only this two). Here I can see in my report those two values and the overall result of all MRP types (they are 6 different types). My report looks like this for examply
   V1                  46,782,434(this are rough figures)
   PD                  56,232,453
   Overall Result      102,434,111
        Here my requirement is I need to find this overall result like accroding to thresold values this overall result shows RED,YELLOW,GREEN.
        I have given threshold values in exceptions. like
   0           -
> 45,000,000(Red)
   45,000,001 -
> 65,000,000 (Yellow)
   65,000,001 -
> 500,000,000 (Green)
       But according to this values I should get Red( Overall Result), I cant see any change in the overall result.
       Please can some one give advice how to reflect this threshold values in my report.Or I have to select any other options in exceptions.
       Thanks in advance.

Not really possible with BEx functions, but if you provide a workbook to users you can just type in this information in a non-Bex cell and save the workbook.
Else you can try to name your exception such that it shows the value ranges. Then in the report, from the toolbar Layout > Display Exceptions.
Hope this helps...

Strange issue with WEBI schedule Report

Hi All,
I have a strange issue with schedule WEBI reports, a schedule report runs for Hours , i reschedule it again by deleting the instance and the schedule report never got succeed even after running for hours.
Any idea???
regards

Hi Manoj,
1. Try to put some filters in the report and then run the report. if it takes less time, then probably your query is fetching very large data.
2. MDX query error may be the reason , this error come when a query runs endless, please try running the query 2-3 times, or when load on server is less.
Hope this will help,
Anamika.

How i can ristrict my BI Publisher report in Dashboards.

Dear All,
How i can ristrict my BI Publisher report in Dashboards.
I have different branches in my report .
I have to send my report split by branches and have to give security to that branch user.
Is it posible in BIP or i have to do in Data Base Level.
I need more information on dashboards
Regards
Subbu..

Hi Subbu,
Apology for delay in reading your post.
Your needs and their solution are,
'split by branches ' - use bursting capability of BI Publisher
'have to give security to that branch user' - make out the report in specific folder and dashboard in BI Dashboard. Then give role based and grouped access to users to this Dashboard. For this navigate in BI Application to Settings > Admin > Manage Presentation Catalog. here you can setup dashboard specific security.
Cheers

Captivate 8 - How to change to producing "project.json" file instead of a "project.txt" file? Having issues with viewing published projects due to this.

Captivate 8 - How to change to producing "project.json" file instead of a "project.txt" file? Having issues with viewing published projects due to this. Would be thankful fo rany/all advice.

I'm having the same issue. I've been able to work around it by opening the txt file and copying the contents. Then I open a new file in Sublime Text 2, paste the contents and save the new file as "project.json". It seems to work, but it'd been nice if I didn't have to do this everytime I publish a new project.

Problem showing BI Publisher Report in Dashboard with Prompt

Hi,
I've created a BI Publisher report using BI Answer as data source. For getting some xml files for building the rtf Template I've set my filter datas to fixed values.
I've created my dashboard with my BIP report and a query from BI Answer.
All was shown correctly now. Now I've also implemented a prompt setting my filter datas.
The BI Answer part is still shown correctly, but my BIP report shows the following error:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
What's wrong??? Please help ...
Thanks
chrissy

I think I know why it is not working ...
I've 7 BI Answer queries for getting all the required datas for my report.
So I have 7 data sets which I've set to concatenated data-soruce in BI Publisher. Normally parameters and LOVs are disabled, when BI Answer is used for data set, but it isn't anymore when data source is concatenated and so don't use anymore my prompted values ...
How can I use concatenated data source in BIP with prompted values???
If this isn't possible I#m back to one of my other threads ...

thanks

Put BI Publisher report in dashboard without OBIEE

Hi All,
I created a BI Publisher report, unfortunately, we don't have OBIEE, I can create a button to call the report from APEX, but how do I change it to dashboard report without OBIEE?
Appreciate your help on this,
Thanks,

Are you trying to have multiple sql queries and have multiple sections displaying different data sets ? Or with one single query but display it in different ways in a single report ?
You can create one single query as Report Query in APEX and associate it with a BIP report layout. So you can achieve a Dashboard layout with the report query/layout.

Non OBIEE Publisher reports and dashboards

I have developed several Publisher reports that source data from direct SQL queries against an Oracle DB (They're not star schema reports that are appropriate for OBIEE). The reports are parameterized and direct SQL requests are used to populate the lists of values for the parameters. My task is to make them available on a dashboard.
I have a report attached to a dashboard but I cannot figure out how to prompt for the parameters in the dashboard. Everything I've read about dashboard prompts and presentation variables assumes the report is sourced by OBIEE.
Is there a way to do this?

You have to create parameter in reports and as well create prompt in dashboard with same name.
With this link, the values will be passed into report parameter.
Use that parameter in report to filter

Hierarchy issue with Web Intelligence Report

Hi All,
We are facing an issue with OLAP Universe where we are using hierarchy for cost center in reports.
BEx query shows correct data in RSRT with hierarchy nodes.
We have built a Universe on top of this BEx Query.
We are using couple of nodes of cost enter hierarchy in WebI report but if we keep more than one node in WebI query, data comes double (probably because of duplicate rows). Instead if I keep just one of the node in WebI query, WebI report returns correct data.
Please suggest, why such behavior with OLAP universe and how to resolve this?
Best Regards,
Ashish

Thanks for your suggestions.
I am little confused on how to check SQL generated for OLAP WebI Query.
But other reports on same universe behave same way and I'll give a try to another universe but I don't expect it to behave in different way. I saw a setting for relational Universes like restriction on duplicate rows but the same is not present in case of OLAP Universe.
Do you know how WebI behaves with BEx hierarchies?
There has to be some setting to make it work...
Best Regards,
Ashish

Issue with exporting Financial Report in Smartview 11.1.2.2

If I export a FR in "Export in query Mode" , it concatenates the parent with the child (parent.child) and does not return anything in Smartview. Even though the report works fine in workspace.
I narrowed down the issue and it seems if I use Stored member roll up instead of using Shared member roll up it returns the right data when I export the report in Smartview.
So the issue is only with the FR using Shared members.
Does anyone know if this is a known issue or can replicate this in their environment ? We are on version 11.1.2.2
Thanks

Nope that didn't work, but I figured out the error. I was running the command on a client machine. When I run the command on the server itself, it works fine.. well, now I have issues with my POVs, but at least it's finding my .csc file.
Thanks for your help John.

Posted: Nov 19, 2007 4:08 AM in response to: 53637 Reply
No. All you need to do is go to the Edit Dashboard Page and pull in the BI Publisher report using the BI Publisher Report section. Ensure that you have specified proper BI Publisher path in the InstanceConfig.xml

When you go into the Edit Dashboards page, do you see a BI Publisher icon to your left? just drag and drop that into your page and then click on properties to include your BI Publisher report. If you get an error then check(only after doing the above) whether you have these entries in your InstanceConfig.xml
<AdvancedReporting>
<ReportingEngine>XmlP</ReportingEngine>
<Volume>XmlP</Volume>
<ServerURL>http://localhost:9704/xmlpserver/services/XMLPService</ServerURL>
<WebURL>http://localhost:9704/xmlpserver</WebURL>
<AdminURL>http://localhost:9704/xmlpserver/servlet/admin</AdminURL>

OAF page with XML Publisher report

Hi All,
I am trying to create a OAF page with an XML Publisher report. I am not able to create a 'defaultSingleColumn' region which extends '/oracle/apps/xdo/oa/common/webui/DocumentViewerRn.MainRegion', getting a Confirm message and Validation error and they are:
Confirm message:
Component "/oracle/apps/xdo/12.0.0/mds/oa/common/webui/DocumentViewerRn.MainRegion" cannot be referenced from
"/xx/oracle/apps/xxbsk/payslip/webui/PaySlipViewPG.region1" because it violates scope restrictions.
Are you sure you want to use component "/oracle/apps/xdo/12.0.0/mds/oa/common/webui/DocumentViewerRn.MainRegion"?
Validation Error:
The value "oracle/apps/xdo/12.0.0/mds/oa/common/webui/DocumentViewerRn.MainRegion"
set on the "Extends" property for component
"/xx/oracle/apps/xxbsk/payslip/webui/PaySlipViewPG" contains multiple naming separators.
I am trying to develop this page for R12.1.3 and using correct version of JDev (Patch 9879989).
I am following the below link for embedding the XML PO into my page:
http://oracle-hack.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/launching-xml-publisher-from-oa.html
Could you please help why I am getting error while extending region.
Thank you,
Ramu

Hi. Could you please tell me how did you make it work. I read and try the same document at ttp://oracle-hack.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/launching-xml-publisher-from-oa.html
But I got null point exception at one of xdo package which is Oracles own class. I think something is wrong or forgotten in this document.
