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.
Regards
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.

Switch Section in a dashboard based on the selection of Prompts (OBIEE 10G)

Hi All,
I have a requirement : I have to switch Section in a dashboard based on the selection of Prompts (OBIEE 10G).
Lets say I have 1 report in section1 and another report in section2 of a dashboard. I have a dashboard prompt,now say when the user does not select any value in a prompt I have to show section1 and when he selects values in a prompt then I have to show section2 of the dashboard. I tries this using Guided Navigation Link and presentation variable but there is a limitation that I have to select only one value in the prompt as i have created presentation variable.
But the client wants the prompt as Multi Select. in this case I can 't use the presentation variable.
How can I fulfil this requirement.Please let me know.
Thanks,
Krishna

How you create your multiselect prompt? Is it based on a column? Using multiselect prompt you'll get an issue in this case. The prompt behavior with choosing all values and choosing nothing is equivalent. But your requirement has different behavior lines.

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]

OBIEE 11G Hidden Sections Taking Up Space and Skewing Dashboard Alignment

Hi OBIEE Experts,
I'm hoping someone can help me out with this. I am using a dashboard prompt to hide sections within an OBIEE Dashboard. Everything is working and functioning as I wanted, except for the Dashboard/Section alignment. The sections and their content are hiding depending upon the result of the Dashboard Prompt, but even though they are hiding they are taking up space on the Dashboard. In my Dashboard I have this basic layout:
_____________________COLUMN 1_____________________
_______COLUMN 2_______ _______COLUMN 3_______
COLUMN 2 contains my Dashboard Prompt that hides/unhides the sections in COLUMN 3. COLUMN 3 has 9 different sections in it, with only one section showing at a time based on the Dashboard Prompt. The Section Headers are set to show for each of these 9 sections.
The problem is coming in that if a user selects the Prompt value that activates the section highest in the Dashboard Layout (Section position 1 in COLUMN 3), the dashboard aligns correctly. The Section Header for the Dashboard Prompt Section in COLUMN 2 is perfectly aligned with the shown section in COLUMN 3. However, if a user selects a prompt value that triggers any section other than the highest to be shown, the alignment gets off. It is especially bad and noticeable when you get to the lowest section in COLUMN 3.
I have attached screen shots (data blacked out) that demonstrate this problem.
- http://kathrynlwatson.com/Dashboard%20Layout.png Shows the Dashboard Layout
- http://kathrynlwatson.com/Selected%20Subject%20Area%20-%20Topographies.png Shows the Dashboard and Alignment when the Top Section in the Layout for COLUMN 3 is shown. This alignment is correct.
- http://kathrynlwatson.com/Selected%20Subject%20Area%20-%20Patient%20Demographics.png Shows the Dashboard and Alignment when the Bottom Section in the Layout for COLUMN 3 is shown. This alignment is incorrect.
Does anyone have any tips for how to correct for this? I have set the format in all sections to have 0 padding all around. I have also tried putting each section in different columns, but that encounters the same problem, with the alignment being affected horizontally rather than vertically. Any help will be very much appreciated!

Well try using percent for all sizing for all columns like (50% width, 30% height..etc). You need to play around to get the closest match. Also, try using blank sections for extra padding with fixed %sizes

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

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.

Images in dashboard after deploying obiee 10g in weblogic server

Hi,
We have deployed OBIEE 10g in weblogic server at the location E:\BIDEP
Initially for OC4j server we placed the images in two places:
+1. E:\OracleBI\web\app\res\s_oracle10\images+
+2. E:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res\s_oracle10\images+
and called the image in dashoard by Link or Image fmap:images/india.jpg We were able to disply images indashoard.
After deploying, we also placed the images in
+3. E:\BIDEP\res\s_oracle10\images+ (E:\BIDEP\ is the folder where we deployed obiee.)
Now we are unble to view the images in dashoard.
Please let us kow how to do this.
Thanks.

Hi MK,
Thanks. It worked.
One clarification. for OC4j Server I placed images in below:
1. E:\OracleBI\web\app\res\s_oracle10\images
2. E:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res\s_oracle10\images
For WLServer is it enough to place the images in below places:
1.E:\BIDEP\res\s_oracle10\images
2.E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain\servers\BI2\stage\BIDEP\BIDEP\res
or I also need to place the images in below place also.
1. E:\OracleBI\web\app\res\s_oracle10\images
In simple, at two places
1.E:\BIDEP\res\s_oracle10\images
2.E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain\servers\BI2\stage\BIDEP\BIDEP\res
or at 3 places
1.E:\BIDEP\res\s_oracle10\images
2.E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain\servers\BI2\stage\BIDEP\BIDEP\res
3.E:\OracleBI\web\app\res\s_oracle10\images
Thanks.

How Both View Selector and Column Selector in one report dashboard section

Can we use a view selector and column selector inside a report in one section of the dashboard?
env: obiee 10g
Appreciate any links and pointers
Thanks in Advance

hi kris,
Can we use a view selector and column selector inside a report in one section of the dashboard?Here view selector is nothing but having multiple views and selecting depends on what end user want to see.You are saying in a single report in once section only.
If it is a single report you can go with using a column selector.
Note:-View selector and column selector combination can be used.....but it looks wierd as you need to select view at the same time the corresponding column.
UPDATED POST
Yes you can have it by creating different compound layouts with pivots in it.
Cheers,
KK
