Dashboard autorun of BI publisher report

We have a BI publisher report which is set NOT to auto run in BI Publisher. This report is embeded in OBIEE dashboard.
Problem:
Whenever user navigates to the dashboard, it autoruns with default settings. Is there a to stop the auto in the dashboard so that it only runs when user clicks on the "Go" in the prompt.

Try Stijn's approach at the end of this thread... It'll work.

Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Report Designer's Guide
This function provides a method to get the difference between two dates in the given locale. The dates need to be in "yyyy-MM-dd" format. This function supports only the Gregorian calendar. The syntax is as follows:
<?xdoxslt:date_diff(‘format’, ‘YYYY-MM-DD’, ‘YYYY-MM-DD’, $_XDOLOCALE, $_XDOTIMEZONE)?>
where
format is the time value for which the difference is to be calculated
Example:
<?xdoxslt:date_diff(‘d’, ‘2006-04-08’, ‘2006-04-01’, $_XDOLOCALE, ‘America/Los_Angeles’)?>
returns
-7

View pdf or doc reports in obiee 10g dashboard

Hi,
Is it possible to view reports which are saved in pdf or doc format to view in dashboard.
We have some static reports which are in pdf format. How to view those reports in dashboard, like by using link or image etc..?
Thanks.

Dear Amith,
Thanks for your reply.
I need to embed the pdf document not just image.
The report generated for last month will be saved in pdf. The pdf will be paced in installed obiee folders. Now this report need to be embed in dashboard. On clicking a link or something the saved pdf should open in new window or in dashboard, so that no need of report generation based on lastmonth once again.
Thanks.

OBIEE 10g Dashboard Prompt Multiple Values

A dashboard prompt is applied to filter on Regions, however the issue we're facing is that the region values show up multiple times (1000's). We want to show each value once and I read about 2 solutions:
1) Apply a select distinct SQL on the prompt - This does not work for us since the region is also a key field in the drill down (region consists out of states), the drill down overrules the select distinct and the prompt still shows multiple values. Any ideas?
2) Apply a cast to char on the dashboard prompt field - The values show up only once, however now the dashboard prompt does not get applied to the reports. Looking at the SQL nothing seems to come back from the database. This might have to do with the fact that the region data type in the business layer is VARCHAR with a max of 30, thoughts? I tried updating the cast to varchar(30) but that had no effect.
The cast sql is simple and looks like this:
SELECT CAST ("zzz"."Region" as char) FROM ...
Hopefully anyone can help us with this problem. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips!
1. No, it does not happen when the column is the only item in a report
2a. I updated the cast to a varchar and added the distinct because that seemed easier than changing the field types in the rpd. The new SQL looks like this:
SELECT DISTINCT CAST("zzz.Region" AS varchar(10)) FROM ...
2b. Also joining to a table with extra region information (the sequence how we present the values to the customer) provided unique values:
Select "zzz.Region" FROM ... ORDER BY "zzz."Region Sequence"
With both solution we force OBIEE to execute the SQL differently so that the key field in the dimension does not throw off the numbers

Constraint not working in OBIEE 10G Dashboard prompt

Hi All,
We are facing a issue in constraint in dashboard prompt.
We have two database tables Employee and Calender. Both are joined through time_id key.
We have made a report from coloumns of both.
We have made dashboard prompt consisting of 3 coloums i.e.
Month-YEAR,
Week Ending,
Shift Date
First two are from same employee table and Shift date is from calender.
Both dimensions are also in Awnsers as it is.
All 3 prompts are multiselect. Constraint box is checked in all.
Issue is that, When I select a Month-Year in prompt, Corresponding 4 or 5 weekendings comes in multiselect box.
But when i select a week ending from here, i don't get corresponding Seven dates for that particular week.
Instead all shift dates available there in calender table comes in multiselect.
Does constraint don't work on coloums of different dimensions or tables?
Any body , Please reply with a possible solution.
Regards,
Apurv Mishra

Thanks @786372 for your response..
But, If we will make view for those coloums , then how can we apply ''Is Prompted" for prompted coloum in our report filters.
As per my understanding, to make ''Is Prompted '' work , Fx (coloum formula) should be same in report and prompt.
So, how can we create a different view only for prompt.
We may use presentation variable to make above work, i won't be able to create multi-select prompt.

Apurv

Strange behaviour of OBIEE 10g dashboard prompt

Hi BI gurus
My inventory Dashboard page has a multiselect Status Prompt which is throwing up a strange issue.
When selected all values i.e using << button from Status prompt and clicked on OK then it gets refreshed by itself and all the values from selected area gets back to the selection area and the dashboard page diaplays the status prompt with no values where as if all the values are selected one by one and clicked on OK then the prompt behave as expected.Is it a bug?

I would suggest to delete this and create a new one or else check with other prompts.
Also check the session log for the prompt.

BI Published Reports vs. OBIEE Analyses

We have OBIEE 11g integrated with BI Publisher. One of the things we're struggling with is when to use an OBIEE Analysis vs. a BI Publisher Report in our dashboards, especially since BI Publisher reports can call data in the presentation/analysis layer to get its data.
BI Pub seems to offer some beautiful flash-based 3D charts. Does anyone have an experience on decision criteria as to when to use one tool vs. the other?
Much appreciated.
thank you.

All,
I have a BI publisher report with parameters list of values. The publisher report is working fine when I run the report and select one or 2 more more values form this (LOV) parameters.
Now I created new dashboard prompt with presentation variable set to the same name as the above parameter in publisher. Added both this dashboard prompt and BI publisher report on the dashboard page. everything works as long as I select only 1 value from this parameter. As soon as I select more than one value I get error. After checking in the log file I see this error

Problem in navigating from one report to another in OBIEE 10g

Hi,
I am facing an issue with OBIEE 10g while applying navigation on my reports.
Lets suppose I made a report showing list of all items(in broad categories) sold on a particular day, say Dairy, Frozen Foods, Chocolates etc.In this report there is a date prompt showing the date of sale.
Now there are certain items that are distributed within these categories, like dairy includes milk, cheese, butter etc.
Hence, my navigation should be like when I click on a particular item category, the control should move on to the report which has all items under that particular category and the prompt for this report should show the same date as passed in the previous report.
But sometimes what happens is that on clicking the navigation from first report to the second one, the date is not persisting in the prompt. I say sometimes because at times the navigation does work correctly. This is a bug of Obiee or something which is giving unexpected results.
Kindly help with your suggestions.
Thanks
Ankita

Ankita,
This is not a bug in OBIEE...I'm sure something is missing. If this is working for some cases and not working for some other case then you will need to find the root cause. Try in bits and pieces...Step by Step with some dates (unit testing). Ideally this shud work properly.
For an instance try with OBIEE drilldown feature and not with navigation with a single sale date and observe the behavior.
Hope its clear...
