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.

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 agents are failed to connect to Essbase

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 ;)

OBIEE 11g: Searching Subject Area for measure names in Answers

Hello,
I have installed OBIEE 11g SampleApp 825 and just exploring the provided set of dashboards.
From the samples, I am performing following steps:
- I selected Edit Dashboard (for 2.1 Simple Demo Dashboard)
- For Column 2, in the Master Detail 1 Compound View, I did Edit Analysis
- which took me into the Answers design interface with 4 tabs (Criteria, Results, Prompts, Adv).
In the Criteria tab, there is the Subject Area pane on the left where it shows the Subject Area this Answers report is built on and a bunch of Folders like Time, Products, Base Facts etc.
Beside the Subject Area pane, is the Selected Columns pane where you drop fields from the folders.
This particular analysis (Product Line Analysis) has three columns: Revenue Analysis, Products Hierarchy and T05 Per Name Year.
Now, I want to find the folder to which the Revenue Analysis measure belongs. So, I started expanding each node/folder in the Subject Area pane and visually searching for "Revenue Analysis"....cannot find it!
How to determine which Subject Area folder a field on the Analysis belongs to? In Oracle Discoverer, only the Folders from which fields are selected are "enabled" so it's easy to navigate straight to that folder. Or again, in Discoverer, you can actually search for a particular field name and it will return all folders that have that field name pattern. While the Search feature on the top row is useful in finding which Analysis/Report match a string, it does not help in identifying relevant Subject Area Folder fields that match a pattern.
Is something similar available in Answers/OBIEE 11g?
Thanks,
Manish

Again answering part of my own question...It was staring me right in the eye and I couldn't see it:-)...When you have a column in the Selected Columns pane, it's source is right there above the field name. If there is no source folder listed, then it might mean it's a formula. For example in my case, the Products Hierarchy column has the word Product above it...that's the folder it belongs to.
Good. But, the follow-on question still remains, how to search for folders containing a particular string, to find say all folders that have columns like %Margin%?

OBIEE 11g Agent

Hello Forum, hopefully I am asking this question in the correct forum. We are running OBIEE 11g on a UNIX server. One of our Developers manually ran an Agent through the OBIEE Analytics front-end. Then, shortly later, he asked if I could stop the Agent. Can anyone tell me if this is possible and, if so, how to do so?
Thank you!
Ben / Denver CO

Thanks for the info.
Yes, I have email address in customer dimension and I can display it in analysis.
If choose use analysis from agent (Get Recipients from the Analysis Used in the Agent Condition), getting the following error otherwise (Select Recipients with email address) will complete successfully

OBIEE 11g Agent Report one env to another

Hi Guys,
we currently moved our PROD server to 11.1.1.7.1 (Fresh installation and just moved the catalog and RPD) it is working fine.
But in the old server we scheduled more than 100 agents but in the new server we are not getting get any alert....
so can you please advice me on how to enable all the Scheduled reports in current server at once instead of manually enabling agents one by one....
we have tried with single agent it is working fine but we need to run all the old agents.
Thanks in advance,

we currently moved our PROD server to 11.1.1.7.1 (Fresh installation and just moved the catalog and RPD) it is working fine.
But in the old server we scheduled more than 100 agents
You didn't say anything about old server like 10g or 11g. First of all the agents will not get disabled automatically from one version to another (11g) how did u migrated ..it should be archive or un-archive or through catalog manager?
or
Open BIPlatform schema and run below query to see how many are enabled if you have any 0 records update the flag to 1 and see whether agents are enabled (testing purpose do it for 1)
select * from s_nq_acct where disable_flg >0 ;

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,
prassu

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,
Sue

Need to hide popup menu while navigating in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
In OBIEE 11g we use Action Link to navigate to other BI component we can add multiple navigation targets as well.
Now my requirement is to hide the popup which gets displayed when we click on the value in a column. I want that popup not to appear if there is only one target report.
Also i want to make this change to all the reports, please help me out with a generic solution for this.
Thanks
Atul

Hi,
In the column properties-->Interaction-->check the below check box ' Do not display in a popup if only one action link is available at runtime '
Make this for all the individual target column.
And Yes, its a kind of issue everyone facing.
Award if this helped/ answered.

Is it possible to execute OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.5.0) Agents externally?

Hi all,
Is it possible to execute OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.5.0) Agents externally i.e. using a dabase or shell script?
I have created an agent and scheduled it to execute a dashboard. But I would like to execute this agent once dataloading is completed, not at fixed hour.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can execute OBIEE 11g agents externally via ODI 11g:
"...2. Use BI EE Web Services and call ExecuteIbotNow method in the iBotService – This method will be called directly from ODI 11g..."
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2012/01/bi-ee-11-1-1-5-calling-bi-ee-11g-agents-through-oracle-data-integrator-11g/
and with command saschinvoke :

Deliver data to external web service possible in OBIEE 11g?

Hi all,
I'm looking into the possibility of "pushing" data from OBIEE and out to an external web service, e.g. through executing a scheduled report that instead of delivering the result on screen, it would call an external web service that would consume the generated data for storage in an external system.
Does anyone know if this is possible to implement in OBIEE 11g? (So far, all I've found is how to display data in OBIEE through consumation of web service(s), but I'd like to "push out" data to a web service from OBIEE).

Obiee 11g Ibots Bursting

All: Is it possible to enforce data security filters when a report would need to be delivered to multiple users with individual data visibility? These users will not log in to the OBIEE 11g system and hence the user names (accounts) will not be present under user/groups of WebLogic Console.
BI Publisher can do the same, but I wanted to confirm if OBIEE 11g's IBOT delivery is really not designed/setup to distribute content with individual data security when the users are not selected from logged in user accounts. In a nutshell, we won't pay license fees for users who receive their data thru Ibots.
Thanks
AR

Short answer: No it isn't.
Longer answer: No it isn't designed to do that. It's a question of security and handling of sensitive data. OBIEE does an implicit login when personalizing the content of an agent. So you can either go for BIP bursting or as you say pay the license fees.

Physical Query in OBIEE 10g vs OBIEE 11g

Hi Everyone,
We're in the middle of an OBIEE 10g to an OBIEE 11.1.1.6.4 upgrade and as part of our assembly testing we were planning on comparing the physical query generated for a report generated in obiee 10g vs the physical query for a report in obiee 11g.
After a couple reports we noticed that the query structure in 11g is completely different than the query structure in 10g. The reports still generated the same data in 10g vs 11g. So my question is:
1) is it worth while (or necessary) to do a physical query comparison for an obiee 10g to 11g upgrade? or is validating the front-end report data & drill down/interactions adequate?
2) what are some general reasons why a query generates differently in obiee 10g vs 11g?

Pl post details of OS versions, exact database versions (to 4 digits) and init.ora parameters of the 10g and 11g databases. Have statistics been gathered after the upgrade ?
For posting tuning requests, pl see these threads
