OBIEE 11g Action Link translation issue

Hi All,
I have a translation issue with the Action links in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 version.
The pop-up which is displayed on clicking the column having action link is not getting translated. This seems to be the issue with all the action links.
All other catalog objects, captions etc are translated properly.
Has anyone faced similar issues ? Is there a workaround for this ?
Thanks for any pointers.

Action links are not getting translated. I faced a similar problem in OBIEE 11.1.1.6 version.
What you can do is replace that action link with a 'link or image' option in dashboard objects.
'Link or Image' types of object get translated in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 as well as OBIEE 11.1.1.6 version.
hope this helps.

  • OBIEE 11g Actions and SSL

    Hi,
    I am attempting to use the action framework within OBIEE 11g, specifically invoke a web service. When I go to New -> Action I get a server error:
    An error occured during processing of the SSL protocol
    1093359936:error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed:s3_clnt.c:1059
    The log viewer in Enterprise Manager gives us
    UNKNOWN_CA alert received from [HOST] - [IPADDRESS]. The peer is rejecting the certificate chain as being untrusted or incomplete.
    We have SSL on and it is working fine everywhere apart from when I try to create the action. I (and my colleagues) have trawled through all the documentation and googled everything we can think of with no success. Has anyone else seen this or maybe has an idea as to what is going on?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Christian
    Thanks for your reply. The BI system is SSl secured so is running over https but I don't even get a chance to select any web service, SSL or not, (or even put in a wsdl url) as the error occurs directly I click on anything that creates a new action. It is therefore an issue with SSL on the BI server itself (or the communication between components) but I am stumped to what it can be.

  • OBIEE 11g: SAML SSO performance issues

    Hi All,
    We have implemented IDP initiated SAML2-SSO with SQL Authenticator to get user/group information.
    After implementing this we see following issues:

    I am experiencing performance issues with view selector. It repeats the SQL for each view resulting in duplicate SQL to be run and thus resulting in poor performance of reports. Is this an expected behavior of view selector?
    Thanks.

  • Obiee 11g tooltips/mousover/hover issue

    I have a client who has a database table which contains the tooltip text for each row in the database. She would like to have an image of a question mark so that when the image is "moused over"/"hovered over", the tooltip text is displayed without actually displaying the tooltip as a table column, she would like it to "pop up" only if the user decides to mouse over/hover over the image of the question mark, which is titled "Learn More About This Metric ...".
    Any thoughts? We're on OBIEE v11.1.1.6.2.
    Thanks, Dottie

    Column Header Tooltip (mouse over) in OBIEE
    You can set Tooltip/mouse over functionality over column header of the
    table. You can add HTML tag within column header. steps are -
    1. Go to column format and check custom heading
    2. add html tag like <b title="My Tooltip">My Column Header
    3. Go to instanceconfig.xml
    4. Edit it and add tag - *<HardenXSS>false </HardenXSS>*
    5. Restart the services.

  • Issue with Action Links

    Hi All,
    We have implemented the Action Links.
    Issue: A particular order number is present in 14 different organizations.
    when the order number and the Org Name is selected we are able to all the records.
    We have included the Action Link column to the above request, then we are only able to see 3 records, the other organization records are not able to view.

  • OBIEE 11g write back to Essbase and run calc script feature

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to write back into Essbase Cube and run calc script from OBIEE dashboard.
    From what i have search on google, we must deploy additional Java Script into weblogic, but that is before OBIEE 11.1.1.6.
    I have 2 question:
    - Does OBIEE 11.1.1.6 already supported native write-back to Essbase and running calcscript?
    - Anyone has example of the custom java-script for write back and running calcscript?
    And another, if there are requirement like this, is it better to install Essbase Add-in on Microsoft Excel and do the what-if analysis there, then just display the report on OBIEE dashboard? (based on user-friendliness and the complexity on maintenance)
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Even I am trying to achieve the same thing as you have mentioned but think that it is not possible to achieve easily in obiee 11.1.1.6, though we do have a work around to perform a writeback in Essbase cube using JAPI as mentioned below.
    Also we can call Hyperion reports from OBIEE using Action Links and also pass parameters to the same but dont know if it runs calculation script.
    Below link could be useful for you for write back workaround.

  • Issue Action links,Column sorting in OBIEE(11g) 11.1.1.7.0

    Hello everyone,
    I want to provide the feature column sorting to my users but i dont want to provide any feature to users when they click on right mouse button.When we click on right mouse in action link column value it is giving the "action links","include/exclude columns" options etc.
    I disabled the do not display the action link report name in the column properties.
    Also disable the  include/exclude columns options in the interaction XYZ properties of the view.
    But still i am not able to understand why these links are coming when i run the report from the dashboard.
    Please help me out here.
    thanks,

    Hi Timo,
    I am using data control web services to get these attributes on to the jspx page. The table has the value property which is binding to the iterator( #{bindings.SUMMARY_LINES_ITEM.collectionModel}).
    The table has various coulmns like order no, status, request and so on..where Order no and status are converted to a cmd link which navigates to another page on a query.
    I don't understand how setting sorting to true in one of the columns can make it not found in the iterator! And I get the errors only if sorting is done first before querying(clicking on one of the values in a column to navigate to another page).
    Thanks,

  • OBIEE 11g - APEX Integration through Action links

    Hi All,
    We are trying to achieve SSO between OBI and APEX. We got this working by the below process.
    1. Integrate OBI domain with AD
    2. Integrate APEX with the same AD ( Perform standalone configuration)
    3. Create Action Link in OBI pointing to APEX form
    4. Accessing Action Link does not prompt the credentials
    5. APEX form opens up in a separate tab in browser
    We checked this by logging into OBI using an AD ID and jumping to APEX from there through action link. However the user context is not getting carried forward to APEX. For example if we login as "d123456" AD user in OBI, when we access APEX form the user name is appearing as "NO BODY" at the top right corner. We have a use case where in we want to capture the ID who is accessing the APEX form. The field is updated as NOBODY.
    But if we login to APEX stand alone URL, then the actual AD user name can be seen on APEX pages.
    Can some one help on how to carry forward the user context from OBI to APEX.
    Thanks in advance.

  • 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.....
    J.

    Hi,
    Yes, we do face this issue.There is no workaround for this issue as of now.

  • OBIEE 11g Drill Hierachies & Action Links

    Hi Everyone,
    Apologies if this has already been covered in another thread.
    I have create a level based hierachy and a report with 2 columns.
    Type1, #
    When following the drill path the heirachy/report is as follows...
    Type1,#
    which drills to
    Type1, Type2,#
    which drills to
    Type1, Type2, Type3, #
    The problem, I would like to create an Action Link (navigate to BI content) on the Type3 column once at the detail and final level in the drill.
    To provide further context, I have tried saving the Action link the as the default interaction for the type3 column however our version of obiee is saving/remembering the interaction choice but not the action link itself.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks

    1. Did doing this one time create a permanent fix for you?
    - Yes , The reason what I assume is XML is very sensitive and gets corrupted easily if the OBI environment is unstable.
    So in my case since the number of master-detail reports was less - I actually recreated those reports. Filters were being Protected. This fixed our issue.
    DO take the backup before modification.
    2. Why does the protected filter help? Should we always use protected filters when navigating using an Action Link?
    -No idea - As i was playing around to find the workaround - I happened to PROTECT the filters in the master reports and the trick worked out. I assume when filters are protected in master reports - OBIEE front end makes sure that actual filters are carried away when the master is navigated to detail despite XML of the master-detail setup is corrupted.
    3. What is an example of an unused front end object? I am unsure as to what this is.
    -Ohh- I wanted to say - Front end objects ( Reports , dashboards, Saved Filters , Actions, Agents etc which are NOT in use - or which are outdated ) can be removed.
    This makes the front end setup lighter and stable.
    Thank you.

  • OBIEE 11g Agent Includes Action Link Report Name

    OBIEE 11g Agent Includes Action Link Report Name
    I have a dashboard page with multiple reports. One of the reports has Action Links to drill to another report. When I view the dashboard as a web page, the report with the Action Links look fine. The link fields are colored blue. When I send this dashboard page as an HTML email, it shows the Action Link report name in the cell with the other data.
    The dashboard page sent out as an agent should look the same as the web page and the Action Link report name should not be visible.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Eric

    So you spoofed the values of the 2nd column to have the report act almost like a menu listing?
    if that's the case then check the data type of column 2, it should be set to HTML. Then you will just need to build your HTML tag within the column formula.
    Example below bins the year name into a Link HTML Tag:
    '<a href="http://'|| CASE  WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2011' THEN 'www.google.com' WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2012' THEN 'www.yahoo.com' ELSE 'www.apple.com' END || '" target="_blank" > ' || CASE  WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2011' THEN 'www.google.com' WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2012' THEN 'www.yahoo.com' ELSE 'www.apple.com' END || '</a>'
    if that is not what you are attempting to do, please clarify.

  • Calculated Items and Action Links (OBIEE 11g)

    Hi,
    On OBIEE 11g here...
    I have an anaylsis which shows a pivot table with only 6 columns of calculated items, with all of the standard columns hidden. The split of the pivot has been achieved using a variable created using the bin function.
    I have set an action link on the measure shown in the pivot table to navigate to another analysis and, while clicking on one of the measures in a pivot column runs the specified report, it is not run using the the necessary parameters required to match the dataset shown in that particular column.
    Is it possible to drill to a separate report and pass through the required filters from a measure showing in a calculated item, as it would be on a measure showing in a standard pivot table column?
    Thanks,
    Ang

    You need to have 'Is Prompted' for that specific measure. I would suggest to use action links on other columns instead of metrics.
    Pls mark as correct/helpful if helps
