Need to send a dashboard page as an excel file in an iBot

Hi,
Is it possible to send a whole dashboard page as an excel file in an iBot/agent?
We're using OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 and have a requirement where different users need to access the dashboard pages via excel. Most of the pages have multiple requests and some also have charts.
The other alternative that we looked at is using the MSOffice plugin but even with that i'm only able to access the individual requests one at a time but not the dashboard page.
Thanks!!

I think I found a workaround that resolves our issue: I send the dashboard page as an html attachment in an iBot and then open it with excel once received (open with).
Thanks for your replies..

How to send a dashboard page as selection with ibot

Hi,
I am trying to send a dashboard page via email, but with a previous selection I have done through prompts.
This is what I have done:
1.Created the selection and saved as "Generic"
2.Selection is saved in my user OBIUSER under /users/obiuser/_selections/hj0qcjg2ln00aro9
3.I copied "Generic" from the above folder to a folder XY under the SHARED folder where I have some other dashboard stored.
4.When I am in Delviery content , choose "select content" and browse in the XY folder, but I see only the dashboard pages and not the selection "Generic"
The reason, I have copied it, is that from the delivery content session, I can not see my user, but just the SHARED folder.
Do I maybe need to create a _selections folder under the SHARED one and save it there?
Thanks and Regards
Giuliano

The article describes that when you have a saved selection for a dashboard page and you set this saved selection as default, the iBot will use this saved selection to filter the data on the dashboard page.
So, unfortunately, there is no option to select the saved selection you want to use for a dashboard.

I created a file yesterday in Pages version 5.1. Today when I went to open the file a box popped up saying that I needed a newer version pf Pages to open the file. Any thoughts??

I created a file yesterday in Pages Version 5.1. Today I went back to open that file and a box popped up saying I need a newer version of Pages to open that file. Any thoughts??

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Ability to download the whole dashboard page into MS Excel or powerpoint

Folks,
i think this may be unique requirement or may be someone tried it,
from the Out of Box functionality, we only have ability to download the each report on a page to a MS Excel or power point
but i am looking on how to implement the functionality of downloading all the reports in the page/or the whole page itself into excel or powerpoint using click of button as we do have download into pdf/html versions.
i tried to hijack the existing pdf/html code, but did not work
any ideas/suggestions if this can be implemented or code that i can use
Thank You
Kumar

Hi friend,
you must use BI Office for that. To install it, log on Presentation Service with your user, click 'More Products' -> BI Office. Install it, and the, open excel or powerpoint. You will have a new menu where you can download reports as you are in Presentation Service.
Regards.

My page generates an Excel file but sometimes fails if the page loads to slowly...

I'm having a problem generating an Excel file using CF and
looping over a bunch of queries to get a table of data to display
to the user. This is slow but works fine except for an instance
recently where the page seems to be loading but after a few minutes
it stops and says "the page cannot be displayed". The error leads
me to believe it is a server error and not a CF error but I'm not
sure. I don't have timeout checked in my CF Admin so that should
mean that I can request pages for as long as I need to right?
I'm using the cfheader and cfcontent to dynamically generate
an Excel spreadsheet from my HTML. I tried using the cfflush tag
and that seemed to help since it pushes content to the browser
during the page load but it doesn't work with the cfheader and
cfcontent tags.
So then I tried using the cfsavecontent tag and then save the
HTML to a file but again I couldn't use the cfflush tag inside the
cfsavecontent tag so now I'm stuck.
The page DOES load when I run in on my local machine with MX
6.1 Developer Edition and SQL Server Personal Edition. It DOES NOT
work when I run it on my production server that then calls my
separate database server. I'm wondering if there is a timeout (non
CF) set somewhere on the productions server or the database server
or if there is some sort of limit to the amount of data you can
transfer between servers?
I'm totally stumped now so any advice is greatly
appreciated!

That didn't work for me and the page times out right about 5
minutes (300 seconds). I don't have timeout checked in the CF
Administrator so I don't think it is CF that is causing the
timeout. I checked IIS also and the timeout is set to 900 seconds.
Is there a possibility that SQL Server has some sort of
connection limit and I'm using too many cfquery tags? If anyone has
experienced a similar problem I would really appreciate the help,
thanks.

Actually scripts run fine with excel file, currently we are using user-id to pick to update AD. Now we want to update AD use employee id. You can say to identify the record in AD through employee ID instead of user-id.
I do not think you will get anyone here to fix that for you. You need to find someone who knows PowerShell to help you or learn PowerShell your self.
I would fix it for you but not for free. It is too oddly designed and has too many dependencies. Any small change is likely to break it.

Importing from XML to Excel - need to know how to append to existing Excel file

Hello,
I have several XML files that I will need to import into one Excel spreadsheet. I have been able to figure out how to import an XML file to an Excel file but when I import a second XML file, the contents of the second XML overwrite the Excel spreadsheet.
I am looking for an option to append. Thanks in advance
private void XmlToExcel(string xmlFilePath, string excelFilePath)
object misValue = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
DataSet Trans_ds = new System.Data.DataSet();
Trans_ds.ReadXml(xmlFilePath);
Excel.Application excel = new Excel.Application();
excel.Application.Workbooks.Add(true);
System.Data.DataTable table = Trans_ds.Tables[0];
Worksheet worksheet = (Worksheet)excel.ActiveSheet;
Range excelRange = (Excel.Range)worksheet.get_Range("A" + worksheet.Rows.Count, Type.Missing);
int lastRow = excelRange.get_End(XlDirection.xlUp).Row;
int ColumnIndex = 0;
int rowIndex = lastRow++;
foreach (System.Data.DataColumn col in table.Columns)
ColumnIndex++;
excel.Cells[lastRow, ColumnIndex] = col.ColumnName;
foreach (DataRow row in table.Rows)
rowIndex++;
ColumnIndex = 0;
foreach (DataColumn col in table.Columns)
ColumnIndex++;
excel.Cells[rowIndex + 1, ColumnIndex] = row[col.ColumnName];
worksheet.StandardWidth = 20.0;
worksheet.SaveAs(excelFilePath, misValue, misValue, misValue, misValue, misValue, misValue, misValue, misValue, misValue);
excel.Quit();
releaseObject(worksheet);
releaseObject(excel);

See if this helps. I opened the old excel file and added the new rows into the existing workbook.
private void XmlToExcel(string xmlFilePath, string excelFilePath, Boolean append)
object misValue = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;

I need help with the numbering pages in a book file

I have a 53 chapter book that which each chapter is its own document. It used to work great. The page numbers of each document used to continue from the last page number of the previous document. That was until today when I opened it and all the page numbers now start at one. I don't know what to do. I have checked all of the options I knew to check. Each document still has the 'automatic page numbering' option selected. I truly don't want to have to go through and manully renumber every document. It will take time I do not have. If I can get somebody's help, it would be wonderful.

Nor do I. It sounds like everything is set correctly. You might want to try creating a new Book file and add the individaul documents into it and see if that fixes things. Also, have you tried updating the numberingfrom the menu since this started?

Need Help: Could WEBI report directly based on EXCEL file be refreshed?

In 3.0, Could WEBI reports directly based on EXCEL file be refreshed, after exporting to BOE platform?
I've made a test on that and find out WEBI report could not be freshed in Infoview while DESKI report could.
Some colleague suggest me to build the WEBI report based on a Universe created based on the EXCEL file.
I want to confirm, is it a by-design that we could only refresh WEBI report based on universe? or I could do some setting to made the refreshment of WEBI based directly on EXCEL file works?
Please Help!! Thanks a lot~~~

Hi Rachel,
You could try the Rich Client Product Guide [http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_web_intelligence_rich_client_en.pdf] but I don't think it is a problem...more like a feature by design - it makes sense.
You could try the route of creating a universe on top of excel... See posts

Hope this helps

How to deliver dashboard page for each user using IBOT.

Now I want to send the dashboard page for indivisual user..
How we can impliment this.
My IBOT run for all users and deliver the mail...similarly we want for dashboard page.

I have created session variable and used it in default prompt and used a presentation variable.
My report is refering this presentaion varable..
I can see the log ..reports are generating for each MD's Now.
I am getting PDF in mail also but error.

Return link on OBIEE dashboard page

When we have a drill down from a dashboard page to a report, we will have a return link on the report to navigate back to the dashboard page.
But if we are drilling down to another dashboard page, Can we have the OBIEE return link functionality on the target dashboard page to navigate back to the first dashboard page?
I have tried following options:
1.When I tried to incorporate this using OBIEE Guided navigation link, navigation is happening with all the filters which is expected.
2.I tried it with link rather than Guided navigation link, the navigation is happening like the page loading for the first time, hence the user has to re-enter the prompts fields for dashboard page execution.
My Objects are dashboards D1,D2 and Report R1
Drill down on D1 will navigate to D2 and drill down on D2 will navigate to Report R1 and clicking return on R1 will navigate to D2.To navigate from D2 back to D1, I need the OBIEE return functionality.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks Shravan

Hi Srikanth,
Thank you for your response.
I tried to follow the content in the link and I get a Web Page Not Found response.
I substitued the parameters of scid and the Portalpath.
I am not sure what else is going wrong.
What is expected is if D1 dashboard being executed with certain parameters before navigation, then on clicking the Return link, we need to get the dashboard page executed with same parameters which is like Back button.I will not be able to use the script for Back functionality of the browser as I also have a drill dwon from the D2 dashboard page to the Report R1. Hence on clicking on Return will take me to R1 rather than D1.
Below is the execution sequence that is required:
D1-->D2-->D1
D1-->D2-->R1-->D2-->D1
Hence I would like to know how can I get the OBIEE return link displayed on the dashboard page which we get on a drill down request.
Thanks
Shravan

Easiest way of moving a dashboard page?

I need to move a dashboard page made by a user to the dashboard area of another user. Is it possible? If so, what is the easiest way of doing it?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Fabio

Settings - > Administration -> Manage Presentation Catalogue
You will need to enable 'Show Hidden Items'
Find the folder the dashboard was created in, this will be either :
\shared Folders\<folder name>\_portal\<dashboard name>
or
\users\<user name>\_portal\<dashboard name>
In the dashboard folders in the locations above you will see the pages , use the copy icon to either copy or move these to another dashboard folder (using the same location path templates as above).
Watch out for :
Accessing user folders can only be done by that user, you may need to get the user to copy the dashboard page to a shared folder if you want to pick it up for them.
leave the "dashboard layout" file where it is and dont touch it. I have been moving dashboard pages in a single sign on environment using this method for a while (Single Sign On = no on-line catalogue manager). The page is only a reference to other objects (prompts, reports etc) so you only need to move the page. Obviously make sure the dashboard content has the correct permissions for the target audience !
Try that out and let us know how you get on.
