OBIEE Bookmark or Prompted URL

Hello OBIEE Gurus:
I am having an issue creating prompted URL and Bookmarks.
I am following John's procedure given here.
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2008/12/obiee-creating-bookmark-and-or-prompted.html
And I modified Instanceconfig.xml as per requirement.
However I am still not able to see those options in "page options" menu.
I am using Oracle Business Intelligence 10.1.3.2
Please look into it.
Thanks. And Happy new year in advance.
~Vinay

Thanks for your reply.
Yes I am login as Administrator. And I tried IE and Firefox, with clear cache,browser cache etc.
Still doesnt work.
Can anyone confirm if it has got something to do with older OBIEE version? I am using the first OBIEE release 10.1.3.2.1

OBIEE 11g Dashboard Prompt Reset Button Functionality

Dear Experts,
Can anyone explain what is the exact functionality of 'Reset' Button in any OBIEE 11g Dashboard Prompt.
If anyone found any documentation related to it... please let me know.
thanks,
Varun

Hi Varun,
This is the functionality of Reset button,
Reset will go back to last applied values. It does not clear values. Currently the Reset button works in the following ways:
if 1) the prompt is blank 2) select some value, 3) reset 4) it should go back to blank.
if 1) the prompt is blank 2) select some value, 3) apply 4) reset. 5) it should NOT to back to blank. actually it does not change anything.
if 1) the prompt is blank 2) select some value, 3) apply 4) change any values 5) reset. 6) it should undo any changes in step 4.
Rgds,

Hello.
Although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].

Bookmark "star" in URL bar is not working

I'm clicking on the "star" to bookmark this page. It is not working and doesnt seem to be doing anything. The star shows it's animation on click, but does not allow me to save a bookmark.

Make sure that you do not double-click the highlighted star.
Just to be sure that you understand how it works:
* Clicking the star in the location bar will bookmark the page in the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder and the star turns yellow (blue on Mac) to show that.
* If the URL in the location bar is bookmarked (star at the right end is yellow/blue) then click the highlighted star or use "Bookmark This Page" (Ctrl+D) to edit the properties of the bookmark (name, location) and move it to another folder or remove the bookmark.
* The "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder shows in the sidebar and the Library, but not in the Bookmarks menu drop down list.
* Bookmarks > "Bookmark This Page" (Ctrl+D) will bookmark the page in the Bookmarks Menu folder (you need to confirm that).

Gettting rid of the bookmarks section under url bar??

hey guys
i want to keep all my bookmarks, but only access them buy going to the bookmarks tab at the very top of the computer screen (in between history and window)
under the url and google bar and refresh button there is that whole bar with the quick clicks to your recent book marks...(its the bar with the little book button at the very left)
is there anyway to hide this? so under the url bar its the actual website...i know it wont make TOO much extra space on my window but its annoying, instead of clicking on one thing such as the back button, i accidently click on a bookmarked page thing every now and then.
thanks

Go to the View Menu>Hide Bookmarks Bar. If you want to remove the Tabs bar, disable Tabs by deselecting the various tab options in Safari Preferences>Tabs

Why did two of my bookmarks lose their url info and are no longer clickable/deletable?

I have hundreds of bookmarks and two of them lost all their info all of a sudden. I click one, it doesn't go anywhere. I right click it, I get a menu that has these listed: Open, Open in a New Tab, Open all in tabs, open all in tabs (yes it repeats), open in a new window, cut, copy, paste, new bookmark, new separator, delete, forget about this site, delete bookmark. This menu is different than the menu for the working links.
Additionally, when I go to hover over the glitchy links, they dont have a url showing. I click to see their properties, there's absolutely no information about these links except their name. No URL or anything. I cant even delete or move them to another folder. What's causing this? Thank you for your time.
EDIT: Just in case someone else has this problem, I fixed it, although I still don't know why that happened. I exported my bookmarks as .json file. Just in case, I exported as html too. Then I applied the same json file to my bookmarks. This deleted everything I had in my bookmarks and replaced it with the bookmarks that were just deleted, sort of like a refresh. However, all the subfolders were gone. Thankfully I had the html version of my bookmarks, which I then added back to my bookmarks. I picked the subfolders that werent replaced with the json file, and placed them where they belonged and then deleted the duplicate folders. Now those phantom links are nowhere to be found. Everything works fine.

If it happens again the you can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.

I need more info from Bookmark Sync PROMPT

I'm getting a prompt on my MacPro to Sync with MobileMe and the details say that I have 247 bookmarks under the "Add" section. No deletions, no moves.
I have been cleaning up bookmarks on my MacBookPro but I did not simply Add 247 bookmarks to this machine. I may have RE-ORGANIZED 247 items from folder to folder or somethign along those lines but I ALSO deleted a bunch I am sure.
Can anyone help me with what this prompt means? either it has so little information or there is something wrong and I already spoke to the MM follks who seem to think the data is fine.
TIA for any Help

All my bookmarks lost their URLs. Then trying to restore from backup failed with "unable to process the backup file". This is Firefox 10 beta channel. Anyone have a solution?

At first, the bookmark list included all my bookmarks, but they had an empty box for their icon, and clicking on the properties window showed no name or URL. Clicking on the bookmark itself was just ignored. I went to restore bookmarks from a backup - backups are listed for each day, but choosing any one gives an error. This has also wiped out the list of bookmarks.

There may now not be much that can be done. Immediately find your current profile the easiest way of doing that is using
* Help -> Troubleshooting -> Profile [open containing folder]
Copy the whole profile folder with all sub files and folders and put it somewhere safe, outside Firefox program or Profile paths (Windows desktop is a suitable location)
Once you have done that it is also worth exporting any bookmarks you have as a backup, do it as firefox backup, and HTML, it is just possible they may contain usefull info in an easily accessble form.
If the bookmarks were somehow corrupted, and then you have overwritten current bookmarks with corrupt backups there may not be much that can be done,but if you copy the profile as I mentioned above at least we still have the files and can see if anything is rescueable. There is also a possibility the files are okand the fault is with firefox,but that may be less likely.

OBIEE Column filter prompt issue :: Display Value, Pass Value

Hi All,
Is it possible to display a value in the prompt and pass another value to the report in OBIEE?
Eg. Display Employee Name but internally pass Employee Key values.
Right now in column filter prompt, I have given an SQL query in SQL results field to fetch Employee Names and Employee Keys.
When I select an Employee Name then Employee Key gets displayed in the prompt (selected values on the left) field.
Filter on column property is set to Employee Key.
My requirement is when an Employee Name is selected, then the same Employee Name should be displayed in the prompt field. Internally Employee Key should be passed.
Is this possible? Please help.
Regards,
Sam

Hi,
It can be done with the help of an intermediate report and filter based on other request but you need to check the performance. You need to create a report.pull on employee key in that report and put employee name as 'Is Prompted' . Then in your parent report use 'Filter based on other request' and select 'Employee Key' from the intermediate report created.
In this way used only have to select employee name in prompt and employee key willl be passed to parent report. Check the performance before you use this approach as 'filter based on other request' can cause performance issues.

Issue : OBIEE applying default prompt values when pressing return button

Hi All,
On my dashboard, I am showing a summary report. This summary report has a link to detail report. I have provided a link for detail report just below the summary report on dashboard. Following is the issue which I am facing
[1] I run the dashboard for a particular prompt value on the dashboard. Let's say a date value = '1/1/2010'.
(There is no default value for the prompt).
[2] Now my summary report is updated according to the prompt value which I selected.
[3] I click on any value on summary reports and it drill down and recalculated the metrics
[4] Now when I click on the detail report, i get the detail report too ( in a new window). The issue starts from here.
[5] When I click on return link from the detail report page, it takes me back to the summary report page ( I land on the report which I got from step 3)
[6] I click on the return button under the summary report (rememeber I had drilled down) to see the report which i get in step 2
But, when I click on the return button under the summary report, it changes the prompt value too and applies the default value to the prompt and provides me the initial summary report with default promt value. The report which I got in step 2
Whereas what i want is when I click on the return link then I should get the report which I got in step 3.
Why does OBIEE applies the default value when I try to return back to my original summary report. Is this an OBIEE feature or I have some setting issue ?
Hope I have been able to explain the scenario!
Can anyone please reply on this. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ronny

hey kart,
the issue is not about going back to the summary report ...the issue is when i click on the return link below the summary report after returning from the detail report ( which opens in a new window) then it takes me to the initial summary report ( which was loaded by default when the dashboard was loaded) with all the default prompt filters whereas my requirement is to go back to the summary report with the filters which users selected from the prompt ....
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Ronny

OBIEE 10g Dashboard Prompt Multiple Values

A dashboard prompt is applied to filter on Regions, however the issue we're facing is that the region values show up multiple times (1000's). We want to show each value once and I read about 2 solutions:
1) Apply a select distinct SQL on the prompt - This does not work for us since the region is also a key field in the drill down (region consists out of states), the drill down overrules the select distinct and the prompt still shows multiple values. Any ideas?
2) Apply a cast to char on the dashboard prompt field - The values show up only once, however now the dashboard prompt does not get applied to the reports. Looking at the SQL nothing seems to come back from the database. This might have to do with the fact that the region data type in the business layer is VARCHAR with a max of 30, thoughts? I tried updating the cast to varchar(30) but that had no effect.
The cast sql is simple and looks like this:
SELECT CAST ("zzz"."Region" as char) FROM ...
Hopefully anyone can help us with this problem. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips!
1. No, it does not happen when the column is the only item in a report
2a. I updated the cast to a varchar and added the distinct because that seemed easier than changing the field types in the rpd. The new SQL looks like this:
SELECT DISTINCT CAST("zzz.Region" AS varchar(10)) FROM ...
2b. Also joining to a table with extra region information (the sequence how we present the values to the customer) provided unique values:
Select "zzz.Region" FROM ... ORDER BY "zzz."Region Sequence"
With both solution we force OBIEE to execute the SQL differently so that the key field in the dimension does not throw off the numbers

Adding 'All' filter in Obiee 11g dashboard prompt

Hi All,
I am using ver 11.1.1.5
My requirement is to see all data in dashboard prompt as well as there should be another item its 'ALL' which return the all data.
Example:
There is a dashboard filter on a field type (like: Value1,Value2) , our client want to see the data on filter (like: ALL,Value1,Value2) the ALL will filter the boat Value1and Value2.
Please explain with steps.

You have to go with SQL Results in the prompt something like below.
The 2nd statement can be other way so that its return all values..
Make sure that similar you have in report too so that you get all values for ALL
SELECT COL1 FROM "SA"
Union
SELECT CASE WHEN COL1 IS NOT NULL THEN 'ALL' ELSE COL1 END FROM "SA"
instead of not null you may go for like '%'
if helps mark

OBIEE 11g - Dashboard Prompts - Radio Buttons

I have a report where I need to run 3 different ways based on the same filter with different values. Each way has multiple values. I was hoping to create a Dashboard prompt as a radion button to allow the user to select which variation of the report to run. I would like the radio button to pass the multiple values to the filter based on the user's selection. Does anybody know if this is possible? If not, is there another reccommended way. I would prefer not to save three versions of the same report with the only difference being a filter. Also, I would prefer for the users not to have to select multiple values each time they run report depending on the version they want to run.
Thanks,
William

You create the dummy report with appropriate number of columns for filtering using combine request. Each request in this complex report will correspond a choosing in a radio button prompt. In a main report for every filtering column you need to use option 'results are based on another request'.
