OBIEE 11g - How to return from analysis in correct order

I have a problem when using the return link in the bottom of analysis. I doesn't always return to the previous analysis.
I have a dashboard (Dashboard 1) containing a dashbnoard prompt and an analysis (Analysis 1). I have also two other analysis Analysis 2 and Analysis 3. I have put a "Navigate to BI Content" Action Link on one of the columns in Analysis 1, which navigates to Analysis 2. And in Analysis 2, I have put the same kind of action link on one of the columns, from where I navigate to Analysis 3. I.e. the navigation route is: Dashboard 1 => Analysis 2 => Analysis 3.
When I navigate from Dashboard 1 to Analysis 2, I have a Return link in the bottom of the analysis. When I click this, I will be send back to Dashboard 1. This works perfectly.
But when I navigate further from Analysis 2 to Analysis 3 and then click the Return link in the bottom of Analysis 3, I will be send strait back to Dashboard 1. I would have expected to be send back to Analysis 2, which is were I was before Analysis 3, and not to the beginning of by navigation route.
Is there a way to ensure that the return links only takes one step back in the navigation route instead of going back to the origin?
Best regards,
Henning Eriksen

Hi Dhar,
That is a very valid point (and I am in 11.1.1.7), but when I click the breadcrumb link for the previous analysis it looks like the previous analysis is regenerated but this time without any criteria. As a matter of fact, I don't get an answer back from the database because of the amount of data. So the breadcrumbs doesn't seem to work properly either. And the browser BACK buttom doesn't work, since that also sends me back to the original dashboard, but this time the prompts will be reset, which is even worse.
Thanks,
Henning

Obiee 11g How to let user change password

obiee 11g How to let user change password ？
i not mean use weblogic console。 normal user how to change password。

With 11g, OBIEE essentially uses the 10g notion of external authentication.
By default, this is done by the WLS (Weblogic) LDAP identity store, but it may be done by another supported Authenticator either within WLS, or in the OBIS meta data (i.e. Custom Authenticator or LDAP). As such, OBIEE no longer has any control over user passwords; this is why the steps referenced in note 1102353.1 do not apply to OBIEE 11g, but only to internal/repository-defined users in OBIEE 10g.
So, as with password maintenance in OBIEE 10g when an external authenticator is used, it is within that external authentication system that password is changed, not within OBIEE 11g. There is no option in OBIEE 11g to allow users to change passwords.
There are two work-arounds with which you can change your password:
1) From the Weblogic administration console/WLST.
You need to give such user access into Weblogic console or access to browse through involved MBean hierarchy and other modify permissions. Changing the password using WLST instance is covered here:
Ideally, the console and WLST approaches are used by Administration accounts to manage other users. But the console and WLST can be made to allow other users to change passwords (which will be more or less like carrying out an administrative task by users themselves)
2) Using a programmatic approach.
Here the application that intends to provide password change functionality to its users should implement this functionality on its own (GUI plus call to the relevant Weblogic API). Weblogic provides an MBean that the application can use to accomplish this. See here for more information.
An enhancement request exists for this functionality. This is unpublished bug 11836170 - enable non admin users to change passwords in obiee 11g.

In OBIEE 11G, how to get the special parameter created by JAVA?

Hi Experts,
In OBIEE 11G, how to get the special parameter created by JAVA?
For example:
In JAVA , it has set one parameter named 'test'.
So how to get the parameter in filter area in OBIEE?

Hi Kobe,
No P2 holds the parameter name like PresentationTable.ColumnName, in your form you may go for complete name or just column name and before submitting the form you can define the Action url.
I would suggest to read section 6.3.2.1.
ex:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
changeAction(url) {
var TestVar = form.inputbox.value;
document.this_form.action="saw.dll?Go&Path=/Shared/Test/SB2&Action=Navigate&P0=1&P1=like&P2=Customers.Region&P3="+TestVar;
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM NAME="myform" ACTION="" METHOD="GET">Enter something in the box: <BR>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="inputbox" VALUE=""><P>
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="button" Value="Click" onClick="changeAction(this.value)">
</FORM>
If helps pls mark.

OBIEE 11g: How to send email from Analysis (via Action Framework)

Hi,
I have installed OBIEE 11g SampleAppLite in my POC box.
One of the features I want to have is to allow users to send their feedback (email) about a report to the report owner. Can this be done without launching Outlook? I tried to Invoke a Browser Script and found that I can display a form showing Recipient, Subject and Message text fields, but I do not know how to send the email.
Thanks!

Hi Devarasu,
Thanks for your reply. The link you gave is for sending iBots. But if I do this, users will not be able to send their feedback / comment.

OBIEE 11g - How to create clean looking pivot tables

Hi, does anyone have a good way to clean up the appearance of pivot tables in OBIEE 11g? I'm a big fan of Stephen Few and firmly believe in the "minimize non-data ink" theory. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lot of stuff on OBIEE pivots that I can't easily clean up. Does anyone have ideas for:
1. How to remove the "gray" / "beige" coloring from column and row dimension? I opened a ticket with Oracle 6 months ago, and basically they've just responded that it is a "enhancement request" for a future version (aka not going to see it for a LONG time)
2. For my "across" dimension, I don't seem to have a good way to show the dimension name. There is an option under "column properties" to "display heading" - but when this is turned on it scrunches the heading up directly over the column that has the down dimension members. I really want this to go across the pivot.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

OBIEE 11g - create dashboard with Answers Analyse and BI Publisher Repport

Hi there,
I have one question . I create dashboard in OBIEE 11g .In my dashboard have one analyse and one bip report .I create one prompt filter , that changes the both .But I wanted when i click in analysis and change it, this change is reflected in the Report . Is this possible?
Thanks

I am talking about object permissions in the catalog (eg. Folder permissions..). This is in addition to the permissions for the data source.
You need to be able to view the folders from where you can select the analysis as a data source in the BI publisher report.
Here is an excerpt from the Guide:
For a role to access an object in the catalog, the role must be granted Read permissions on both the object and the folder in which the object resides. Permissions can be granted at the folder level and applied to all the objects and subfolders it contains, or applied to individual objects.
To grant catalog permissions to a role:
Navigate to the Catalog.
Locate the folder or object on which you wish to grant permissions and click More. From the menu, select Permissions. Alternatively, you can select the folder and click Permissions in the Tasks region.
Thanks,
BIPuser

In BI EE 10g, there was no Oracle Client bundled along with BI EE. So, BI EE will use your Oracle DB Home client to connect to the database. So, when you try to connect to the database through the Repository or BI Server, it will try to find the tnsnames entry in the Oracle Client of BI EE 11g instead of your database. There are 2 options to work around this
Copy your tnsnames.ora and Paste it to
1. Drive:Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1}network\admin
2 Drive:Oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\network\admin
TNS File like,
DBName =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Your Server IP)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = DBName)

How to Return From Call to Stored Procedure

I created an SQL Query Report portlet which contains a Delete
link next to each record. If the user clicks on the link, it
calls a JavaScript function which confirms the Delete and then
calls a stored procedure which deletes the record. After the
record is deleted, I get a page with,
"No data returned from stored procedure
The PL/SQL gateway invoked a stored procedure as part of
processing the URL but the procedure returned no data."
How can I get rid of this page and just return to the page that
contains my report portlet after the stored procedure executes?
Fran

Hi Michael,
I tried the following at the end of my procedure, but I still
got the error page instead of the page containing the report
portlet:
--- return to calling page
owa_util.redirect_url('http://pmim1a:7778/servlet/page?
pageid=55&dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30');

How to get photos in the correct order on the Ipad

I am sure many people ask this but I have tried many methods and am unable to get my Ipad photos to be in the correct order in my albums. I have over 800 pictures and 4 folders and when I sync them they end up jumbled within my albums. On my windows PC in they are in the correct order i want them to be. I renamed all of them in the order. I also changed the date taken (They are set to the same date and time). Is there a way to fix these jumbled, out of order photos? It is just extremely frusterating... Seriously apple, you can create siri but you cant let us arrange our pictures, let alone delete them without hooking up to itunes??? Quite a disappointment! Anyway thanks for answering and your help! P.S. I have an Ipad 3

OBIEE 11g How to pass variable from one prompt to another prompt in dashboard page.

How to pass variable from one prompt to another prompt in dashboard page.
I have two prompt in dashboard page as below.
Reporttype
prompt: values(Accounting, Operational) Note: values stored as
presentation variable and they are not coming from table.
Date prompt values (Account_date, Operation_date)
Note:values are coming from dim_date table.
Now the task is When user select First
Prompt value “Accounting” Then in the
second prompt should display only Accounting_dates , if user select “operational”
and it should display only operation_dates in second prompt.
In order to solve this issue I made the
first prompt “Reporttype” values(Accounting, Operational) as presentation
values (custom specific values) and default presentation value is accounting.
In second prompt Date are coming from
dim_date table and I selected Sql results as shown below.
SELECT case when '@{Reporttype}'='Accounting'
then "Dates (Receipts)"."Acct Year"
else "Dates (Receipts)"."Ops
Year" End FROM "Receipts"
Issue: Presentation variable value is not
changing in sql when user select “operation” and second prompt always shows
acct year in second prompt.
For testing pupose I kept this presentation
variable in text object of dashboard and values are changing there, but not in
second prompt sql.
Please suggest the solution.

You will want to use the MoveClipLoader class (using its loadClip() and addListener() methods) rather than loadMovie so that you can wait for the file to load before you try to access anything in it. You can create an empty movieclip to load the swf into, and in that way the loaded file can be targeted using the empty movieclip instance name.

In OBIEE 11g, how can you set a presentation variable value from javascript ?

I want to set up presentation variable from a javascript variable. Does anyone knows the workaround for this ?

SriniVEERAVALLI,
Thanks for your suggestions. I want to make a custom prompt that is only my requirement. From JS I have made a custom slider prompt now I want to use this slider prompt to pass selected value in presentation variable. Since, we have slider prompt only for numbers, I have to use it for other values.
I just want to make my post looks simple and focus on the specific problem.
Anyways, thanks a lot for taking time to reply. Appreciate your help.

OBIEE 11g: how to automate browser clearing cache

Hi,
We upgraded OBIEE 10g to 11g the implementation includes EBS SSO ( which works in 10g).
the SSO functions OK meaning when we login from ERP Bussiness selection responsibilities to the OBIEE dashboard page we can access it and the login succeed.
The thing is that when we change the responsibility to another responsibility the Application role of the user does not updated and the old role ( the user get again the first role that was assigned in the first login ) meaning the role was not changed with the new responsibility.
I think that browser cache find OBIEE session and connect to the session without call /* valueof(NQ_SESSION.ACF) */ APP_SESSION.validate_icx_session('valueof(NQ_SESSION.ICX_SESSION_COOKIE)')
So, to automate browser clearing cache ?
Thank you

Thank you Veeresh,
I think this situation is due to a feature of Weblogic
"+The browser caches user credentials and frequently re-sends them to the server automatically. This can give the appearance that WebLogic Server sessions are not being destroyed after logout or timeout. Depending on the browser, the credentials can be cached just for the current browser session, or across browser sessions.+"
[http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/web.1111/e13711/thin_client.htm#i1033402].
I understand the advantage that helps to not make the login process more unnecessary. But I have to disable the feature, otherwise the end-user will not be able to change permission on BI /ERP responsibility and will have totally close the browser. The question is how to disable it (Weblogic feature) ?
Thank you,
Ark

OBIEE 11G HOLAP( drill through) from ORACLE OLAP to Relaltional table

Hi Experts...
I have some idea that the drill through from an essbase cube to an relational cube can be possible with few limitations in OBIEE 10g. I am looking for the same feature with ORACLE OLAP option . I have OLAP cube built in 11g (leve5 - granularity to one of the dimension) , and relational has 7 levels. In OBIEE once drill down to the level 5 it has fetched data from OLAP , and going beyond to level 6 -7 then it should get the data from relational table.
Do anyone had gone through such solution, Please kndly share your inputs and documents which would be helpful.
Thanks
S

This is very easy. It's really no different from setting up OBIEE to drill from one table to another. Let's assume that you have your cube mapped in OBIEE using the OBIEE plug-in for Analytic Workspace Manager. Here is an outline of the steps:
1. Add the dimension table and fact table to the OBIEE physical layer.
2. Add the new level to the OBIEE dimension object in the business layer.
3. Add the dimension table as a new logical table source to the existing dimension table in the business layer.
4. Add the fact table as new table in the business layer.
5. Define joins in the physical and business model as appropriate.
6. Set set keys in the tables and the dimension as appropriate.
7. Set the level for the new dimension table to the appropriate level in the dimension.
Again, it's really best to just think about this as drilling from one table to another.
