Nested Dashboard Pages in OBIEE 11.1.1.6

Hi,
I am working on OBIEE 11.1.1.6. We are having a requirement to have nested pages in OBIEE Dashboard.
Example: In Dashboard A, i have two pages Page A and Page B. Again under Page A, i should have Page A1, page A2, Page A3. Similarly for Page B
I have checked the sample app application and found that it can done using BI Publisher. But we do not want to do with BI publisher.
Is there any standard way of doing this??? This requirement is for a product. So we are looking for a standard way which is approved by oracle.
Please give me your suggestions.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Muram,
I have changed the code a little bit and now its removing the second header too.
modified 'HeaderSecondBar' to 'HeaderSecondBar HeaderSecondBarPadding'
<script type="text/javascript">
var tds = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
//alert(tds.length);
for (var td = 0; td <= tds.length; td++) {
if (tds[td].className != 'HeaderTopBar' && tds[td].className != 'HeaderSecondBar' ) {
continue;
if (tds[td].className == 'HeaderTopBar') {
//alert (tds[td].className);
var x = tds[td].parentNode;
//alert (x.className);
x.removeChild(tds[td]);}
if (tds[td].className == 'HeaderSecondBar HeaderSecondBarPadding') {
var x = tds[td].parentNode;
//alert (x.className);
x.removeChild(tds[td]);}
</script>
Thanks for Your Help.

Nested Dashboard navigating to wrong Path OBIEE 11.1.1.5

First create a dashboard prompt for start date, base it on the date dimension, date column and at the bottom of its list of options opt to set a presentation variable. Give the variable a name eg. pv_dt_start
Next create a simple request. Add the measure column for Inventory amount and edit the formula to make reference to the presentation variable. You will need to use the 'Filter using' syntax. It will be something like this:
Filter("Fact Table"."Inventory Measure" USING "Date Dimension"."Date Column" = '@{pv_dt_start}')
That's it in a nutshell. Repeat the procedure for your end date column.

Link to OBIEE 11g Dashboard Page from a 10g Dashboard Page

Hi all,
Is it possible to place a Link object on a dashboard page (within OBIEE 10g) and have that navigate to an OBIEE 11g dashboard page?
If so, how is that implemented?
Our 11g and 10g environments are on different servers.
For business reasons (and budgets) we are not migrating our entire 10g environment to 11g just yet.
Thanks.

You can use Go URL as long as they are on same network domain [Go URL|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21043_01/bi.1111/e16364/apiwebintegrate.htm#i1005050]

How to Get My Dashboard as Default Page Instead of Home Page in OBIEE 11G?

Hello Gurus,
I have one requirement where i need to change default page to "My Dashboard" like what we had in OBIEE 10G ?
Rite-now in OBIEE 11G when any user logs in they are directed to "Home" Page, but i want to change the navigation to "My Dashboard" for all user..
I know the option to in My Account and Change the Default dashboard in Preferences , but it's manual way to do it for all end-users.
and the other is to create the PORTALPATH Variable and do it from RPD.
So I am looking to some other way there we can change the navigation path from system file itself...
Thanking You..

Hello David,
Thanks for reply.
Actually I am just concern abt the OBIEE Dashboard page, the link that u have mentioned is for Application Server, where we can manage the multiple Application Portals.
and it also doesn't come with Middleware that we are installing for OBIEE.
so i did get some useful information but not related to my question.
is there any place in EM(Enterprise Manager) or Console(Admin Console) from where we can manage the Default Portal for OBIEE Users?
Thanking You..

OBIEE 11g: Subscribe to Agents through Dashboard page?

Hi all,
I have created a set of agents which would deliver personalized content to subscribing users based on their OBIEE username. The agents work great, however I am stuck at finding a simpler way to allow various users to subscribe to said agents.
The standard subscription method is cumbersome: Go to Catalog, browse to where agents are, Click More, select Subscribe. I don't want my users wandering around through a pretty thick catalog only to subscribe to an agent. Chances are they'll wander off, mess up, fail to subscribe or not even bother to try in the first place. What I would rather do is have them go to a dashboard and click on something to subscribe directly, without caring where the agents are located.
A dodgy workaround I have implemented is to put up a link to an URL which is the catalog location of the agents. Users would click on that link and they will see the list of agents, allowing them to subscribe/unsubscribe. Still, I would like to simplify this further, if possible. Any ideas?

Hi All,

It’s not working – Any Ideas….

OBIEE 11g Dashboard page load performance issue

Hi All,
One of my dashboard is taking for 5 to 15 min to load,Once the dashboard is displayed reports are coming fast. Dashboard has 5 pages.
Eg:
When I click on Dashboard -> XXXX Dashboard. It took 5 to 15 min to display the dashboard page. Reports are coming fast once the page is loaded.
Please help me on this.
Regards,
Hari

Cool,
Thank you for sharing the opinions of you.
My English i'snt so good. May not have expressed myself correctly.
In response to my post, I said that "OTHER" point which should also be evaluated is the environment you are using. not that this point is paramount.
Since the OBIEE is generated queries, the evaluation of queries generated and sent the data sources for sure should be evaluated.
thank you guys

Dynamic dashboard page name in obiee 10g

Hi All,
Can we set the dynamic dashboard page name in obiee 10g.
if yes, please give me details about this.
thanx & regards

Prashant,
You can't have the page name change dynamically. The only option left is to create duplicate pages with different names and apply object level security based on different grps.

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

Re: OBIEE 11g Dashboard Page Prompt

Hi all,
We have a Dashboard page in that multiple reports is there and one Region prompt is there with the scope of page level ,
once i gave the filter with that prompt every report is filtered based on that prompt values .
but in that reports for a particular report we were already drill down based on hierarchy and the remaining all reports are in highest level , now we were applies the filter through the prompt the remaining reports are filtered based on prompt value except that report which is in already drill down mode .
Can any body help me out , is it a tool limitation/ i have to do any changes.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi,
The report will react to a prompt only if there is a is promt column in that report. Check if there a is prompt filtered column in the report and remove it.
If you think that column is to be filtered as Is prompted and should not react to the dashboard prompt, then need to check...
Thanks

OBIEE 11g How to pass variable from one prompt to another prompt in dashboard page.

How to pass variable from one prompt to another prompt in dashboard page.
I have two prompt in dashboard page as below.
Reporttype
prompt: values(Accounting, Operational) Note: values stored as
presentation variable and they are not coming from table.
Date prompt values (Account_date, Operation_date)
Note:values are coming from dim_date table.
Now the task is When user select First
Prompt value “Accounting” Then in the
second prompt should display only Accounting_dates , if user select “operational”
and it should display only operation_dates in second prompt.
In order to solve this issue I made the
first prompt “Reporttype” values(Accounting, Operational) as presentation
values (custom specific values) and default presentation value is accounting.
In second prompt Date are coming from
dim_date table and I selected Sql results as shown below.
SELECT case when '@{Reporttype}'='Accounting'
then "Dates (Receipts)"."Acct Year"
else "Dates (Receipts)"."Ops
Year" End FROM "Receipts"
Issue: Presentation variable value is not
changing in sql when user select “operation” and second prompt always shows
acct year in second prompt.
For testing pupose I kept this presentation
variable in text object of dashboard and values are changing there, but not in
second prompt sql.
Please suggest the solution.

You will want to use the MoveClipLoader class (using its loadClip() and addListener() methods) rather than loadMovie so that you can wait for the file to load before you try to access anything in it. You can create an empty movieclip to load the swf into, and in that way the loaded file can be targeted using the empty movieclip instance name.

Updating Dashboard pages separately in OBIEE 11g

Hi guys,
I have a requirement to show multiple reports in one dashboard as tabs\pages like page1-for R1, page-2 for R2 (R!&R2 are reports) and these pages were created using different prompts for each report. but, the DB tables are the same.
My problem is:
if i run the report in dashboard on page-1, the prompts and tables are getting updated with the values on page-1 into page-2 also.
i tried by disabling the cache in nqsconfig, purging the cache in admintool, and setting a prefix to disable cache at report level, still no luck.
let me if anyone can help me.
thanks,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
Select Page Options > Edit Dashboard to open the dashboard page in the Dashboard builder, then
Click the Prompt properties icon and select Scope > Page. Scope determines whether the prompt applies to the entire dashboard or just this page.
hope helps u..........

Hi,
http://www.scribd.com/doc/25775853/Page-Drop-Down
Please download js script above link.
You have a few options to embed the code:
1) You can embed it manually into each page of a dashboard that you want the dropdown. This fast if there is only a small number of pages. But it can be tedious if there are a lot of pages.
2) You can edit the dashboardtemplates.xml file and find a place to inject the script. This would be optimal since it would globally affect the dashboards. Place the custom edited file in the customMesages folder.
3) When using the code, be aware that I setup a threshold variable. On line 5, I set "var threshold = 0;". This is the threshold at which the dropdown will appear. If you only want the drop-down to appear when you have 5 or more pages, then set this value to 5 and that will be accomplished.
Note:- There is no dashboardtemplates.xml file in customMessages. That is what you need to create.
1. Copy the file from C:\OracleBI\web\msgdb\messages and put it in the customMessage folder
2. Go to line 410
3. Right before the final "</HTML>" paste in the code from this link: http://www.scribd.com/doc/26230268/pageDropDown-1-3
4. Save.
5. Bounce all three services.
6. Test
Hope it helps.
