OBIEE 11g Guided Navigation Link

Hi All,
In 10g I used the guided nav link to link main menu page with hidden dashboard page, so that also presentation variable is passed to the report published on the hidden page.
I'm not able to find this on 11g, if I use a link to the hidden page the presentation variable is not pass to the report even if this presentation variable is created on a dashboard prompt.
Any Idea?
Regards,
Daniele

Hi Balaa ,
That doesn't what Daniele try to achieve . We are clearly missing the Guided navigation for passing the value assigned under presentation variable of the prompt.
It is not to address how to set the prompt in different scope .

OBIEE Guided Navigation Link - How to open in New page.

Hi,
I am using Guided navigation links in OBIEE dashboards to link some of my reports.
When i click on the Link it opens the report on the same page. Instead i have to open the report in a new page. This Option is available in 'Link OR Image' section, not in 'Guided Nav. Link' section. Please suggest me if there is any way to achieve this.
Thanks
Swami

Hi
We have the same need: from within a report we have guided navigation to a detail report, that uses the values of the record in the master report as filterparameters. When clicking a row in the master report , we should open the detail report in a new window, while leaving the master report in the dashboard open. How can we achieve this?
Swami just mentioned the Link or Image object to indicate that this possibility of choosing the same or a new window is present there, and asked where to find the same choosing option for guided navigation.

Facing issue in PDF print on using Guided Navigation Link on dashboard

Hi,
I am facing one issue on using Guided Navigation Link on dashboard.
I have created one Guided Nav. Link on dashboard and renamed it as "RAW DATA".
It was working fine.It is coming as RAW DATA link and when I am clicking on the link it is drilling down.
Till now it is working fine and good.
But in Printer friendly option of dashboard when I am selecting PDF option( To save it as PDF) it was showing text "Guided Nav Link 1" instead of "RAW DATA" in the downloaded pdf.
Please give me some solution.
Thanks in Advance

Try this:
1) Drag Guid. Nav. Link to dashboard in a new section.
2) Click on properties of the Guid. Nav. Link object.
3) For the source request, click on browse and navigate to the report.
4) In the Link Properties, check the "Use Dashboard Oject name as link object" checkbox and click "OK."
5) Click on the Rename button of the Guid. Nav. Link object.
6) Type in the name you wish to appear in the link and click "OK."
When you click on Print>PDF, the name of the link will appear in the pdf instead of "Guid. Nav Link 1."

Using variables as filters in analyses launched by Guided Navigation links

I'm trying to build a navigation link that will launch an analysis and have the filters in that analysis respect the values of either Presentation Variables or Session Variables. I'm having success with an ordinary column. I'm not having success with a number that I need to type into a prompt.
Here's what I've done so far:
1. Created a dashboard prompt based on the Month column. When a Month is selected, that selection populates the Request (Session) variable called Selected_Mo
2. Created an analysis with:
- a filter on the Month column: = Selected_Mo
- the Month column
- a column showing the value of Selected_Mo
3. Placed both of those onto a dashboard page. When I select a value of Month, the month in the analyis changes, and the column showing the value of Selected_Mo changes. So far, all is good.
4. Placed an Action Link on the dashboard. That action link launches the same analysis that I can see on the dashboard.
5. Clicked the action link. The value of Month that I selected on the dashboard is shown in the analysis.
Now, I'm trying to do the exact same thing with a numeric entry field in a dashboard prompt, and I'm running into a stumbling block. I want to type a number into a field in a dashboard prompt, and populate a session variable called Change_Pctg. Selecting "Variable Prompt" in the dashboard prompt only lets me populate a Presentation Variable. But no matter. I've created a "dummy" field like we used to do in 10g, just creating a Column Prompt against a column formula of 1.
When I put the analysis onto the dashboard, it's correct. I can enter a number into the dashboard prompt field, click Apply, and that value is shown in the analysis on the screen. I'm filtering against that value as well, and the number of rows is right. So I know that I'm setting the value of that Change_Pctg session variable.
But when I click the action link, only Selected_Mo is respected by the target analysis. The Change_Pctg session variable is ignored.
Any thoughts?

I'd like to abort this post. I've been able to replicate the error using a much simpler method. Refer to the post entitled 'Passing Presentation Variables to Guided Navigation'.

11G worksheet navigation links disappear during session

Hi folks,
We are experiencing an issue with Discoverer 11G where on some PCs the Edit Worksheet navigation links are disappearing during a session. By navigation links, I am referring to the folloiwng: Worksheet Layout, Select Items, Table Layout, Sort, Parameters. The links are still clickable but the text is no longer visible to the user. Has anybody else come accross this issue? If so, how did you resolve it?
Thanks
Gavin

Hi Gavin
Sounds like a recurrence of a Java issue that used to plague 10g.
Check out the Java versions on both the PC and server and make sure they are the same. You also need to ensure that the server version is compatible for use with Discoverer. You should find information on the latest certifications and Java on OTN.
Best wishes

How to schedule and deliver a report in OBIEE 11g as an link or url to the report ?

I am using OBIEE 11.1.1.6. We have a requirement to schedule and deliver reports as a URL and not as an attachment ( as the file sizes are quite huge ). Have any one implemented such a scenario ? If so kindly share was it an out-of-tne-box solution or used web services ? Thanks in advance

Hello user9210174,
I have tried in this way.Let me know if it meets your requirement.
Created a dummy report with all the reports embedding as a Link and this report i have inserted into a dashboard then created an agent to schedule this dashboard.
Thanks,

After Migrating from 10g to 11g Geeting problems with Guided navigations.

After Migrating from 10g to 11g Geeting problems with Guided navigations and section navigations not working.
And we are getting the following error <<odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW)>> where we have used navigations.
In 10G we have Guided navigation Reports to display the Reports links and intermediate reports for conditionally displaying the Dashboard section(Reports) but after migrating to 11g Guided navigation reports and conditional reports are not working..
We know that in 11g section navigation replaced with conditions and Guided navigation replaced with action link.. but
do we need to recreate those reports in actions and condition or is there any work around avoid reworking.

Hi Both,
Thanks for the reply ...
For Guided navigation we are getting like below error:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
For Conditional dashboard section we are getting like below error:
"saw.aViewsToRefresh = [];saw.aViewsToRefresh['d:dashboard~p:1egt6il5utl0uu8n~s:3jsmgfs3c1r4tn7c~n:condition'] = true;saw.aViewsToRefresh['d:dashboard~p:1egt6il5utl0uu8n~s:nos5q43jvjmi643b~n:condition'] = true;"

Passing Presentation Variables to Guided Navigation

I'm having trouble passing Presentation Variables (and Session Variables) to analyses called via a Guided Navigation link in 11.1.1.5.
1. Created a dashboard prompt to select from a list of months. The prompt populates a Presentation Variable called pMo.
2. Created an analysis that displays two columns: Month and '{pMo}'
3. That analysis has this filter: Month is equal to / is in {pMo}
4. Put the dashboard prompt and the analysis onto a dashboard page.
5. Put an Action Link onto the dashboard page, calling that same analysis in a new window.
6. View the dashboard page
7. Initial analysis displays an error, which is expected since pMo has no value.
8. Select a month, which populates pMo. Analysis displays properly. Month and pMo both show correctly.
9. Click the Action Link.
10. The new window shows the correct value of Month, but NOTHING in the pMo column.
This is not logical. If the correct value of Month is shown in the new window, that means that Month MUST have been filtered using pMo. But the pMo column shows blank.
I see the exact same behavior with Session Variables. The value of the variable is correctly used to filter the analysis, but that variable's value doesn't show up in the analysis column.
In fact, if I assign a default value for the variable, the Month column shows the "correct" (i.e. selected) value, but the column containing the formula for the variable shows the variable's default value, not the value that was obviously used by the filter.
The problem only occurs in the new window that appears with the Guided Navigation link. The original dashbord page shows correctly.
Here's the error when using a Session variable. Similar error when using Presentation variable.
Error getting drill information: SELECT "Channels"."Total Channel" saw_0, "Times"."Month" saw_1, VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.Mo) saw_2 FROM "Retrospectives" WHERE "Times"."Month" = 'Mar-2005'

So, if NQ_SESSION.Mo has no value, how did the Filter know that Mar-2005 should be used? NQ_SESSION.Mo DOES have a value. Why won't the column display it?
By the way, in case you're wondering 'what's the big deal', it's this: I want to be able to type a Commission Percent into a text box, store it in a variable, and then use that variable in a calculation within a Guided Nav link. That's what I was originally testing. The description above is what I finally figured out is happening. The variable has a value that can be used as a filter condition, but that value is ignored when used in the columns of that filtered analysis.

Edited by: Mark T. on Jan 7, 2012 7:15 AMI don't have 11g so what I say may not apply to you at all. That being said, it appears that what you are describing is similar to how the Link or Image and Guided Nav. objects work in 10g. Bear with me for a sescond while I explain. In the Link or Image object, you can open a destination report in a new window, but PVs don't pass through. In the Guid. Nav. object, PVs pass through to the destination, but you don't have the option to open the report in a new window. The filtering works, which is why your destination report is properly filtered; it's just that the PV is not passed and therefor the pMo column is blank.
Since you said your destination report opens in a new window, it is acting like the Link or Image object in 10g. So try doing this:
1) Ensure that your dashboard prompt is set to "dashboard" scope. This being that the PVs with the same name will be set for all dashboard pages, once set in the parent page.
2) Create a new dashboard page and include the same prompt as in the parent page, and your destination report. Hide the prompt on this page.
3) Now in your Action Link of the parent report, instead of pointing to the report itself, point it to the dashboard page created in step 2).
My theory is this: With the dashboard prompt set to dashboard scope, the PV of the prompt in the destination page will be set as soon as you hit the "Go" button. This will allow the report in the destination page to be set by the same variable, even though the value is not passed on directly through the Action Link.

Value Based user guided Navigation Using Dashboard Prompt

Hi all Experts,
I have a different dashboard pages and dashboards for each year sales and so on, like 2001,2002etc in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 answers and dashboard.

if I select 2002 should navigate to 2001 Dashboard.
and for another report for Top 10 Products if I select a product name should navigate to detail product report.
I am not getting idea using guided navigation link,
Please suggest me how we can implement this task into our report.

1) for year wise sales report.
keep artificial Time Dimension and try map Date column into all othe fact table and try to use time.date column in the dashboard prompt that prompt will list out all the year like (2001,2002..2020..etc) make this propmpt column should be is prompted in that Answres report --> date column
2) let Product wise report,

This takes to the page with listing to download Weblogic installer instead. Is it the same installer I need to use eve for obiee 11g or the link is wrong.
Appreciate if someone can point to correct location.
Also, RCU zip file donot have any setup or any such file. Which file I should launch to get RCU running?
Appreciate if some one can provider pointer to this.

Prompt to Report navigation - OBIEE 11g

Hello,
I've three tables (3 different requests) to be displayed in a page. Each of these tables has one identical column eg. project_name (but from different database tables).
My requirement :
1.I should have only one prompt to select the project_name at the first page
2.Only after selecting the project_name, the page should navigate to another page which displays all the three tables
Kindly let me know how can I get the prompt to report navigation done.
Thanks!
Dinesh

Hi ,
Only after selecting the prompt you have to show the reports means use the guided navigation.
Only after selectiing the Project_name , you can show your tables.
But this can be done on the same page not on other page as you needed.
Also check the below link may be helpful to you

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.

OBIEE 11g Analysis : Change Report edit link to go Criteria tab instead

How to change the setting to have the "Edit" to go to criteria tab instead of Results (Compond view)?
Many time we may need to change the filter from default setting and then run the report or if the filter is setup to be used from a dashboard (using "Prompted") option...then the report attmpts to run the report without values...
And I have not checked to see if the server cancels the query to the database when the user navigates to the Critetia Page as there is no cancel link...(as it displayed in 10g...)
FYI, We have just started using OBIEE 11g in a dev environment, we are in the process of configuring the new env to get ready for prod...
Thanks
Sundar

Hi,
By default, the Action request is sent to results tab. You can modify it by editing the dashboardeditor.js file found in /app/res/b_mozilla/dashboards folder.
Steps:
1) Open dashboardeditor.js file.
2) Search for the function "DUIModifyReport".
3) Inside the function you will find that ***"&Action=results&Path="****
4) Change results to criteria. In other words, the changed code will look like
****"&Action=criteria&Path="*****
5) Re-deploy the code and bounce the services.
-- Remember, this will affect for entire dashboard, and for all users. ---
If you want to avoid step (5), then manually copy the changed dashboardeditor.js to /user_projects/domains/BIfoundation/servers/bi_server1/tmp/_WL_user/analytics_11.1.1/$RANDOMFOLDERNAME$/war/res/b_mozilla/dashboards and bounce the services.
Voila - now when you edit the analysis through dashboard, it will take you to the criteria tab, instead of results tab.
Please award points, if it helps.

Bharath
