Obiee 11g 11.1.1.6 Action links not taking into consideration DashBoard Prompts

I really hope someone can help.
I have a dashboard with an analysis that has a column that is not shown but is prompted via dashboard prompts.
This dashboard is a summary set of data and the column in question is deliberately exclude at the request of the users for clarity within the analysis.
An example would be a pivot report that looks something like this.....
OrgUnit
Year 2010-11
Year 2011-12
Org 1
5
19
Org 2
7
25
Org 3
3
7
With a Prompt on the dashboard for example pay grade set to a default value.
The dashboard prompt works just fine and only the items prompted for are shown.
However - the dashboard report has another report linked via an Action Link - that allows you to drill down on one of the values.
The prompts on the linked report are Org Unit, Year and Pay Grade.
clicking on the Year 2010-11 value for Org 1 I would expect only 5 results however every value for the year 2010-11 at Org 1 is returned and the prompt on pay grade is ignored - obviously as it not passed by the action link!
How can I get around this?
Is this a 'feature' of OBIEE as other similar tools I have used take any top level prompts as explicit parameters for further drill downs - any help would be appreciated.....

Command link / button action is not taking place if i use it in iterator.

Hi,
I am new to ADF, i am facing 1 issue while implementing ADF mobile browser application.
Issue: command link / button action is not taking place if i use it in iterator. its just refreshing the page it self and displaying as no records.
Scenario is i am populating the search results in results page from search page using iterator, i want to get the complete details in different page (results page -> details page) .
I have tried in different ways.like
case1:
<tr:panelGroupLayout id="pgl2" layout="vertical" styleClass="af_m_panelBase">
<tr:panelHeader text="#{classviewBundle.SEARCH_RESULTS}" id="ph1"/>
<tr:iterator id="i1" value="#{bindings.SubjectVO1.collectionModel}" var="subject"
varStatus="subIndx" rows="100">
<tr:panelBox text="#{subject.Subject} #{subject.CatalogNbr} - #{subject.CourseTitleLong}"
styleClass="af_m_listingPrimaryDetails" id="pb1">
<f:facet name="toolbar"/>
<tr:table var="ssrClass" rowBandingInterval="1" id="t1" value="#{subject.children}"
varStatus="clsIndx" rowSelection="none"
binding="#{SessionBean.subjectTable}" verticalGridVisible="true"
emptyText="No Records" width="100%">
<tr:column id="c9" sortable="false" styleClass="width:100%">
<*tr:commandLink text="Section: #{ssrClass.ClassSection}-#{ssrClass.SsrComponentLovDescr} (#{ssrClass.ClassNbr})"*
id="commandLink2" styleClass="af_m_listingLink"
*action="#{pageFlowScope.BackingBean.searchaction}"></tr:commandLink>*
//remaining code
in this case commandlink action is not able to invoke serachaction() method
case 2:
<tr:commandLink text="Section: #{ssrClass.ClassSection}-#{ssrClass.SsrComponentLovDescr} (#{ssrClass.ClassNbr})"
id="commandLink2" styleClass="af_m_listingLink"
action="classdetails}"></tr:commandLink>
in this case its not able to navigate to classdetails page.
I gave correct navigation cases and rules in taskflow,but its working fine when the command link is out of iterator only.
i tried with actionlistener too.. but no use.. please help me out of this problem .
*Update to issue:*
The actual issue is when i use command link/button in an table/iterator whose parent tag is another iterator then the action is not taking place.
the structer of my code is
< iterator1>
#command link action1
< iterator2>
#command link action2
</ iterator2>
< /iterator1>
#command link action1 is working but "#command link action2" is not...
Thanks

Hi,
To solve my problem I used a af:foreach instead.
<af:forEach items="#{viewScope.DataBySubjectServiceBean.toArray}" var="text">
<af:commandLink text="#{text.IndTextEn}" action="indicator-selected" id="cl1">
<af:setActionListener from="#{text.IndCode}" to="#{pageFlowScope.IndicatorCodeParam}" />
</af:commandLink>
</af:forEach>
By the way you need to convert the iterator to an Array using a ManagedBean.
public Object[] toArray() {
CollectionModel cm = (CollectionModel) getEL("#{bindings.TView1.collectionModel}");
indicators = new Object[cm.getRowCount()];
for(int i=0;i<cm.getRowCount();i++){
indicators[i] = cm.getRowData(i);
return indicators;
public static Object getEL(String expr) {
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
return fc.getApplication().evaluateExpressionGet(fc,expr,Object.class);
Hope that helps-

Action Links not pointing to correct path after export to PDF in obiee 11g

Hi ,
I have created action links in obiee11g pointing to external secure site , then i run agent/export the report to pdf.
When i click on the action link i nthe pdf it generated a link with some ip address and not the link with my obiee server .

This works fine when i click the action link from the report instead of the exported pdf.
Any pointers?

It has been a while since I have checked this. Sorry for any delay. We have attempted to rearrange items however have had no luck.
On small break through we have is that we have a custom link setup using Microsoft IIS on our server so we can access the application from outside of our network rather than just internally. We have found that we only have the print/export issues when using this external link so there may be an issue with our IIS configuration. Just throwing that one out there in case anyone has had a similiar issue with IIS configuration and found a fix.

Hi all ,
My Requirement.. is...
From direct db request .. i need to navigate to detail report and it should be display the results(detail report results) based on the value,which user click's on the summary report.
For the above requirement ..
I have done below steps..

   a.I have created a action link on diet no column.
Detail report columns:
   Diet No ,Diet Name,Material Name
   a. I have set diet no as is prompted
when i click on the diet no value in summary report ,we are able to navigate to detail report but it's not filtered based upon diet no value , which i have clicked in summary report.
It is displaying all results(detail report).
Note: if both are normal reports(not direct db request) it's working fine.
If one of the report is direct db request..Action link is not working properly.

OBIEE 11g : Tool tip on a report link

Hello All,
Is it possible to add a mouse over tool tip to a report link on a dashboard page (not on column heading) ?
The dashboard currently has descriptions for the report links to see what is the report usage and it is eating up a lot of space , the idea is to eliminate this notes section and provide information to the user so as to what the report is as a tool tip.
I have seen OTN threads on tool tips on to reports and column headers but I would like to just specifically add the mouse over pop-up to a report link that exists on a dashboard page.
Any suggestions , please advice.
Thanks,
-VS

There is a way using JavaScript, right now I dont have code to share with you.
Assuming your report name is "Summary Report", using JavaScript search for this "Summary Report" on dashboard and apply CSS script something like mouseover.
You may get code in pieces on net, try it out.
I too try to help you with code but take some time ;)

I want to insert a video "link, not embedded, into my page where the youtube video opens in a small window and plays over my page.

I have a database which contains youtube video links. Everything works except I don't want a youtube page to open, just a small 500x400 pixel window that will play over my website's page. So the customer doesn't end up on youtube, but remains on my page. Please help!!

One way to do this is with FancyBox (modal window).

Thanks,

looks like there is a way to recover the lost passwords for RPD's using listcred() method of wlst
look at the following doc http://www.rittmanmead.com/2011/04/oracle-bi-ee-11g-migrating-security-credential-store-part-3/
Listing the Credential in Dev Environment:
All the Credential Keys are generally stored in an encrypted format (the passwords). So, to migrate we will need to first extract these passwords and then do the migration to Production. The passwords can be extracted through the listCred() method of WLST. We need to be connected to the Admin Server for this method to work. The exact command is given below
connect(“weblogic”,”welcome1″,”localhost:7001″)
listCred(“DevMap”,”DevKey”)
This will show the encrypted password entered inside the key as shown below
And this is what we see in the enterprise manager.
As you see, with listCred we are able to extract the full credentials. Now, lets try to see what is the default password for the BISystemUser.
listCred(“oracle.bi.system”,”system.user”)
In the same way lets extract the passwords of the SampleAppLite repository.
listCred(“oracle.bi.enterprise”,”repository.SampleAppLite”)
With this we can even extract the lost Repository passwords."
i am going to try it out now

Issue in Dashboard Prompt of OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I had recently migrated from OBIEE 10g to OBIEE 11g.
I had found that there are lot of things which were working on OBIEE 10g are not working in OBIEE 11g.
For Eg:
I have scenario where i have 2 dashboards with different dashboard prompts.
- *1st Dashboard*: I have prompt with 4 columns Year, Month, Qtr and Week. I can filter the data based on the selection of prompt.i.e Summary Report showing all KPIs and when clicked on the any of the KPI it goes to Below report which shows the graphical view of past weeks data.
- Report: Here i show all the week Ids in the Graph format and when clicked on the any week id it navigates to 2nd Dashboard(below) with appropriate week populated in the prompt and show the detailed records.
- *2nd Dashboard*: I have prompt with 5 columns Year, Month, Qtr, Week and Day of the Week with some detailed report. Here the only Week Id should be pre populated and show data based on the week id selection in the above report.
The issue here in OBIEE 11g is, The month Id which was selected in 1st Dashboard prompt is also getting pre populated into the 2nd dashboard prompt. Which should not happen.
Note: This was working fine in OBIEE 10g.
Is there any way to fix this issue in OBIEE 11g.
Regards
Shyam
Edited by: user9954342 on Dec 23, 2010 2:01 AM

Hi Bala,
Thank you for your response.
I had tried that and resolved my problem but it was impacting other reports i.e
I have other reports in 1st Dashboard with different tabs, Here i want the prompt value to be persisted across the reports in same dashboard so that when i go to other tab with in same dashboard the prompt value should be pre-populated and the data should be filtered against that.
Now if i change the scope to page then i will be loosing this functionality.
It was working on OBIEE 10g and i lost this after migrating to OBIEE 11g.
Can you please help me in this regard.
Regards
Shyam

Issue with OBIEE 11g(11.1.3) Installation

I have installed OBIEE 11g last evening. I was able to connect to the dashboard and run a simple report also – all before shut down. Now when I try to access OBIEE 11g thru port :9704 after starting the BI services, I am getting the following error.
“Error 404–Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol — HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
My Weblogic server is working fine but im not able to access EM or ANALYTICS.
When I click Programs > OBI > Start BI Services it opens 3 wndows and says weblogic server is started and Im able to login to Weblogic server via “http://localhost:7001/console”.
When i start my machine the following services are started automatically:
1) Oracle WebLogic node Manager
2) OracleDBConsole
3) Oracle Service
4) OracleOraDB11g_home2_TNSListener
The following services are not started:
1) OracleDB11g_home2_ClrAgent
2) OracleJobScheduler
3) Oracle Process Manager(instance1)
4) Oracle VSS Writer Service
can you pls let me know how to start the Weblogic Admin Server?
I have even tried to reinstall and when the installation completes im able to login to “EM”, “weblogic” and “Analytics” also, but once i restart my machine im not able to login to “Analytics” as well as to “EM”.
The process im following is:
When i start the BI Services from Start->Programs->Oracle Business Intelligence->Start BI Services, i get a popup window where it asks for weglogic user and password, then i have entered the user as “weblogic” and has give the password entered at the time of installation, then 2 popups opens and it runs several java files, then im able to login to weblogic but no luck with “em” or “analytics”.
If i try to login to weblogic and try to start the “bi.em”, “biadminservices” i get java error message.
Even i dont get Oracle Logo on the Admin tool also.
Can you pls let me know the repository password also as i have tried with “Admin123? but no luck.
Every time when i do the installation im able to access all the services for the first time but once i restart the machine then only weblogic will be working.
I have installed OBIEE 11.1.3 on Windows 7 Ultimate N(32 bit) OS with Oracle11g Database
Pls let me know if im missing anything here?
Appreciate your help

This is a really basic question... but how much memory do you have, and how long have you waited for all the processes to load? On a Windows XP Virtual Machine with 3GB, I have waited 20 minutes before being able to access. And until then, you will see the error you have received.
Just a thought...

Configuration issue related OBIEE 11G coreapplication_obips1

Hi All,
My issue is related to configuration of OBIEE 11g,
My installation is successful on windows server 2003, with Enterprise Install
but this coreapplication_obips1 is failing to configure anybody has any idea to resolve this,
Why this error is coming,
once I have uninstalled OBIEE 11g to resolve,
Thanks to all experts

Hi,
Not sure about the behaviour in 11g, but we faced a similar issue in 10g while passing the presentation varaibles to detail report where main/detail report where coming from different subject areas. The behavior was a little unpredictable. To overcome this, we tried using request variable instead of presentation variable and it worked for us.
You can give it a try by doing the same and see if it works for you.
Thanks

OBIEE 11g - 100% width

Hi all,
In OBIEE 10g it was possible to use the very neat 100% width on e.g. tables/pivots, but in OBIEE 11g it seems like this function is not working anymore. Which is very bad for the graphical user interface. It just looks a lot better when the tables are filling up the screen when using the 100% width option. (Which you set in the Formatting area of the table/pivot).
Is his something Oracle has "forgot" to bring further from 10g to 11g or am I missing out something here??
Another thing which also is really annoying is that it's not possible to open the log (the SQL Query log!!) in a new window. I use this a lot when building the BI Server, to make sure the BI server is acting as I want. Any workarounds here?
Any help appreciated.

I'm getting the Invalid Number Format when the Indent (Left Padding) on the Style is populated with something like 10px. When a left padding value is set, I cannot set a numeric format for this column.
If I remove the 10px left padding, go back to the Data Format tab, set a format and click OK, it keeps the new format as well as the 10px that I removed. But you have to remove the 10px every time you want to change the data format.
1. Open Column Properties
2. Kill the 10px
3. Change the data format
4. Click OK. The 10px padding is still observed in the results, and is still present if you come back in to Column Properties.
To change the data format again, I have to repeat all 4 steps.
I just tested all six fields in the Additional Formatting Options section. They all cause this same behavior. So the problem isn't the use of 100% in the width field. The problem is the use of any value in any field in the Additional Formatting Options section. Bug. I've reported it.
