OBIEE 11g Recent Reports in a custom dashboard

Hi,
I have a requirement to put "Recent Report" of a user in a Custom built Dashboard. I know this functionality is available in OBIEE 11g home page. But our requirement is to put the same sections in few Custom Dashboards. Please let me know if this is possible
Thanks

Ya i think it is comming due to null data, just restrict the data by specifying not null prompt or specific condition in the associate column Isnull(attribte,0)

OBIEE 11G PDF reports not aligned

Hi,
When exporting a detail report from OBIEE 11G dashboard to PDF the alignment of the reports gets altered. Is there a way to control it? The Excel output seems to be OK, but the same report when exported to PDF gets misaligned. I do not have Adobe writer, only reader installed.
Please help. Thanks for your time and help.

Do this:
1) In the Section properties of your pivot tables, (the finger that is in the big gray area of the pivot table), click on the finger, then "Additional Formatting options," and make the width 100%.
2) In the same way, for Tables, click on Table properties, "Additional Formatting Options," and make the width 100%.
This will make sure that everything aligns to the same width.

Passing Chinese characters in OBIEE 11g GO URL to init the dashboard prompt

Hi Experts,
Currently we are using OBIEE 11g and passing the dashboard prompt parameter values through the OBIEE go url. When we are passing English strings the dashboard prompt is initialized with the correct passing value. However for Chinese character it is not. I am using the URLEncoder.encode("parameter value", "UTF-8") encoding to encode the passing string.
Can anyone tell me what is the wrong in this approach? How can we pass any language strings to OBIEE 11g via go url?
Thanks

To avoid encoding problems use POST method. Here is js example for OBIEE 10g, but I bellieve you will find similar XML syntax in 11g.
function getGoXML(P){
     var goXML = '<sawx:expr xmlns:sawx="com.siebel.analytics.web/expression/v1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="sawx:logical" op="and">';
     for (var i=0; i<P.length-1; i=i+2){
          goXML = goXML + '<sawx:expr xsi:type="sawx:comparison" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" op="equal">';
          goXML = goXML + '<sawx:expr xsi:type="sawx:sqlExpression">' + P[i] + '</sawx:expr>';
          goXML = goXML + '<sawx:expr xsi:type="sawx:untypedLiteral">' + P[i+1] + '</sawx:expr>';
          goXML = goXML + '</sawx:expr>';
     goXML = goXML + '</sawx:expr>';
     return goXML;
function dashboardPageNav (navParams){
     var tForm = saw.createForm("customNavForm");
     tForm.action = saw.commandToURL("Dashboard");
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "PortalPath", navParams.portalPath);
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "Page", navParams.portalPage);
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "Action", "Navigate");
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "StateAction", "NewPage");
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "P1", "dashboard");
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "P0", getGoXML(navParams.P));
     tForm.submit();
dashboardPageNav({
     portalPath: '<portal path>',
     portalPage: '<page name>',
     P: new Array(
          '<param1 name>', '<param1 value>',
          '<param2 name>', '<param2 value>',

Passing filters to hyperlinks in BI Publisher-Obiee 11g integrated report

Hi,
I've a report requirement to build a BIP report in integration with OBIEE.
In my dashboard, I've a dashboard prompt, obiee reports and a BIP report.
BIP report contains hyperlinks (created in template builder) which direct me to the obiee report pages.
Now, when u apply the prompts, BIP report filters the data accordingly and displays it in the same page. (OBIEE reports also gets filtered accordingly).
After this, when I click on the hyperlinks it takes me to the obiee page which is NOT filtered according to the prompt.
So I would like to know how do I use the filters in these links?
Can I please get some help on how to make this work? This is an urgent requirement!
Thanks,

Hi,
You can try these steps
On the BI Publisher 11.1.1.5, Go to Administration --> System Maintenance --> Server Configuration. Under the catalog heading,Test Connection. If the connection is successful, then click on the button Upload to Bi Presentation Catalog".
After the above step you should be able to see your folder under catalog.
Let me know if this helped.

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 ;

Column Sorting and Rowspanning not working in OBIEE 11g (worked in OBI 10)

Hi all,
i have a report with columns like this:
Customer Nbr. | Customer Name | Salesorder | EBIT | EBIT (Total p. Customer)
In the table view i have a total sum line at customer level.
The column "EBIT (Total p. Customer)" is an Aggregate with Formula (SUM(Invoices.Ebit) BY Customer."Customer Nbr.") which is exactly the same value as in the report sum line (column EBIT).
This Aggregate colum is only for sorting purposes and is hidden in the view.
The business case is:
"We want to see the EBIT per Salesorder for each customer, sorted from worst to best customer.
So i sorted by "EBIT (Total p. Customer)" ascending in criteria tab and adviced answers to show the sum for each customer (column customer nbr.) in the table definition view.
OBIEE 10 behaviour: Answers shows all customers sorted by EBIT (Total p. Customer), i see one line for each salesorder, the customer columns are rowspanned over all salesorder lines and there is exactly on sum line after each customer.
OBIEE 11 behaviour: Answers shows all customers sorted by EBIT (Total p. Customer), i see one line for each salesorder BUT there is one sum line after each salesorder too. So there is no sum at customer level but on salesorder level
Any idea how to solve this?
BTW:
1.) I still tried to place this column as the first (left) column in the report to get the right sorting ... with no success.
2.) Sorting data at BI Server level is NO option since there are some other reports with different sorting requirements
While searching in "Oracle Support" i found document ID: 1371247.1 "OBIEE 11g: How To Apply a Custom Sort in Answers" which says "... The functionality to custom sort in Answers does not currently exist There is an enhancement request for this functionality. For more information, see Bug 13261597 - be able to apply a custom sort in answers ..."

Did you ever get an answer to your question? We are seeing the same issue.

OBIEE 11G -

I have setup an excel spreadsheet as my datasource in OBIEE 11G.
I have setup a dashboard that uses this spreadsheet as a datasource. It works fine.
My problem is that when my boss updates the spreadsheet, the coresponding dashboard shows the old data.
In the BI admin tool, if I go to the 'physical' and view data, the updated (new) data is there - it just not updated/refreshed in my dashboard.
Do I need to somehow update the BMM and/or the presentation in the BI admin tool?
I thougth that once the data in the excel spreadsheet was updated, obiee would automatically update - but that isn't happening!
Help!
Btw- i'm really new at obiee..so it may be something obvious I'm not doing...like updating the presentation or BMM...

Hi Experts
I want to turn off cache in all layers of OBIEE. Through OFW I have disabled the cache. So is the case with alll physical tables in RPD.
Also, I have changed instanceconfig.xml as per this blog
http://shivabizint.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/to-disable-presentation-cache-in-obiee11g/
to remove any presenatin server cache.Restarted the services.
Obviously, first time the report takes a while to load (Dasboard prmpt value=A). Then if I change the dashboard prompt value from A to B, it takes a while to load, which is understandable. But Now if I go back and change the prompt value back to A, it comes very fast.(I want it to be slow, as there is no cahe, it should again go back to DB and get the data) Even cleared the cookies while doing so. Still report comes up very fast.
Looks like it is still caching somewhere may be session level? Can you help how to disabale all forms of caching?
Thanks

OBIEE 11g - Download All/Display All of rows in Answers

Hi All,
I have created a request in OBIEE 11g and now displaying it on dashboard.
by default shows 25 rows, can extend it fo 500 rows, next i should keep on clicking to see full data.
Also download of data is possible for the rows available on page only i.e. 500 rows are only getting exported to excel.
Any way to view all data on dashboard at once and download as well?
Please help, thanks.
Regards,
srl

Hi ,
To implement the solution, please do:
1. Change instanceconfig.xml file in <biee11g_install>\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1 as following
<Views>
<Pivot>

<DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery>75</DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery>

<DefaultRowsDisplayedInDownload>2500</DefaultRowsDisplayedInDownload>

<DisableAutoPreview>false</DisableAutoPreview>
<MaxVisibleColumns>5000</MaxVisibleColumns>
<MaxVisiblePages>2500</MaxVisiblePages>
<MaxVisibleRows>500000</MaxVisibleRows>
<MaxVisibleSections>5000</MaxVisibleSections>
</Pivot>
<Table>

<DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery>75</DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery>

<DefaultRowsDisplayedInDownload>2500</DefaultRowsDisplayedInDownload>
<MaxVisiblePages>2500</MaxVisiblePages>
<MaxVisibleRows>500000</MaxVisibleRows>
<MaxVisibleSections>5000</MaxVisibleSections>
</Table>
</Views>
3. Note the new elements added are the following to both <Pivot> and <Table>, the Pivot part controls Pivot view, and Table part controls Table View, my testing was done with Table View.
<MaxVisiblePages>2500</MaxVisiblePages>
<MaxVisibleRows>500000</MaxVisibleRows>
<MaxVisibleSections>5000</MaxVisibleSections>
4. Restart Presentation Server from EM, then run your request, do excel export to verify.
Thanks...

OBIEE 11g - Customized Message for No result On all Reports

Hi,
The default messages displayed is getting displayed when a report returns no data in OBIEE 11g. I am aware of that, we can overide the default message with our Custom message at "Analysis" level. but it is very painful to do.
I am looking for a file where we can override the default messages with our custom message at one place.
Also, I have gone through the below link for this but it has change at the language level. I tried to change it at language "l_en" level but it did not work.
can anyone suggest for 11g?

Hi Nagen,
Using a custom message should also work in 11g. Refer to this link for setting up custom messages in 11g.

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
