OBIEE Dashboard & Write back

hi all,
I have few reports in .pdf format which are not OBIEE reports it is from some other source placed in a shared drive .So can i access the non
OBIEE reports from my dashboard .If yes can any one tell me what is the process.
Now i create report with the report_id and the report_name columns and give navigation option for the report_name column so when the user clicks on the report_name it should navigate to the shared folder where there report is kept(non-OBIEE reports) and is there any possibility that we can use the write back option in OBIEE and when the user click on the report_name his user_id and the session is written back to the data base .....

Yes you can use Write back to capture user ID and session.

  • OBIEE 11G Write Back Error

    Hi All:
    I am testing the OBIEE 11G write back function. After all the steps , there's an Error message said "Write back Error" . No other detail information. Do you have any idea about where's the problem of it?
    My xml file was under the folder of 'C:\OBIEE11\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\msgdb'. and the detail is as below.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

    Hi,
    I think these is a problem with your connection pool name, please check it. It's a name of connection pool in BI administrator.
    if it's not problem, Can you try my way, replace '@{c1}', '@{c0}' by @1, @2...with 1,2 is a number of column in Criteria.
    It's my template :

  • OBIEE 11g write back to Essbase and run calc script feature

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to write back into Essbase Cube and run calc script from OBIEE dashboard.
    From what i have search on google, we must deploy additional Java Script into weblogic, but that is before OBIEE 11.1.1.6.
    I have 2 question:
    - Does OBIEE 11.1.1.6 already supported native write-back to Essbase and running calcscript?
    - Anyone has example of the custom java-script for write back and running calcscript?
    And another, if there are requirement like this, is it better to install Essbase Add-in on Microsoft Excel and do the what-if analysis there, then just display the report on OBIEE dashboard? (based on user-friendliness and the complexity on maintenance)
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Even I am trying to achieve the same thing as you have mentioned but think that it is not possible to achieve easily in obiee 11.1.1.6, though we do have a work around to perform a writeback in Essbase cube using JAPI as mentioned below.
    Also we can call Hyperion reports from OBIEE using Action Links and also pass parameters to the same but dont know if it runs calculation script.
    Below link could be useful for you for write back workaround.

    Let me know in case you have found out anything else related to same.

  • Write back from Excel into OBIEE?

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement, where in I have to write back into Oracle DB through OBIEE.
    The user will upload an excel/csv containing more than hundred records into OBIEE dashboard.
    The functionality is, on click of a (submit) button the OBIEE should write back into Oracle DB (through OBIEE) row by row taken from excel.
    Pls help if any one has any idea. I'm new to OBIEE tool.
    Have a great day!!!
    Thanks,
    Venky

    Why do you want to do that through OBIEE? It's not a data loading tool! The write-back functionality is explicitly built for sporadic updates and not for mass-import.
    From Booshelf:
    The write back feature is not suitable for entering arbitrary new records. In other words, do not
    use it as a data input tool.
    (Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation Services Administration Guide Version 10.1.3.2 - Configuring Report Write Back - Write Back Limitations)
    Use OWB, ODI, Informatica or any other ETL Tool for that (yes, I know ODI is ELT...don't start a flame war over that ;-)).
    Cheers,
    C.

  • Write Back Error in  OBIEE 11.1.1.7.150120

    Hello everybody,
    i have a problem with the writeback capabilities of OBIEE 11.1.1.7.150120.
    After the Migration from 10g to 11g i would like to customize the write back in 11g. I go like Oracle BI Practice: OBIEE 11g Configure Writeback this, but getting an OBIEE error:
    "Write Back Error
    An error occurred while writing to the server. Please check to make sure you have entered appropriate values. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator."
    The table does not have any constraint. I would like to insert for example the value "2".
    In my table properties i fill in "filling".

    Hi Cristian,
    You must use '' at script when call some column value. (use '@1' instead of @1)
    Tip.. note you can use your "WebMessage Name" (from your script, like "filling", "machine_filing") into your analisys.
    Hope this help

  • OBIEE Write Back - Insert New Row

    Hello,
    I am new to these forums and looking for some help with OBIEE's Write Back feature.
    I have Write Back working fine with respect to updating existing rows in a table (ie: the UPDATE tag), but was wondering how to force Write back to invoke the INSERT feature. I would like to be able to create new rows in a table to allow my end user to dynamically add and remove information. I have heard of this being possible (perhaps through some sort of temp. table) in other forum posts, but have yet to see how this is implemented. Also, is it at all possible to use Write Back to delete rows in a table? Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    -Mike
    Here is an exerpt from my working XML file:
    <WebMessage name="NEWSNOTESADMIN">
    <XML>
    <writeBack connectionPool="Oracle Data Warehouse Connection Pool">
    <insert>INSERT INTO WC_NEWS_NOTES (CONTENTS, CONTENT_DATE, IMPORTANCE_LVL) VALUES(@{c0},@c{4},@{c2})</insert>
    <update>UPDATE WC_NEWS_NOTES SET CONTENTS='@{c0}', CONTENT_DATE='@{c4}', IMPORTANCE_LVL=@{c2} WHERE CONTENT_ID='@{c1}' </update>
    </writeBack>
    </XML>
    </WebMessage>

    Well first and foremost, Oracle explicitly states that writeback isn't meant to be used to transform OBIEE into a data entry system. Check the other posts on this subject...
    On the "force insert": put the same statement you have for INSERT into the UPDATE tag. Related to the initial point I mentioned: you will have to worry about uniqueness yourself. OBIEE isn't an OLTP platform!
    Re. delete: I liked Stijns recent post, so I'm going to use that as well:

  • Write back in OBIEE 11g : unable to check "enable write back"

    Hi all!
    I have a table on presentation, i want to make a table in analysis with function "Write back". But in criteria, when i choose "column properties" --> "write back" tab --> i can not check "Enable write back". I have granted privileges "write back" to user
    Please tell me how to configure to make it.
    Thanks so much.

    Guys,
    In OBIEE 11g You need to make sure that you mark the logical columns in your Repository RPD as "Writeable". Otherwise the ability to write to these columns is not allowed for WriteBack functionality.

  • Write back - how OBIEE decides  insert or update action ?

    Hello
    I have a question regarding write-back.
    I have both an insert and update statement in my template file.
    I want to give the users ability to insert new rows and update existing ones.
    I am able to do both, but sometimes the insert/update behavior is not consistent. That is, instead of updating the record, it creates a new row itself in the database (and sometimes the reverse also is true).
    Anyone has ideas on how OBIEE decides whether it is an insert or update action?
    thanks in advance

    </WebMessageTables>
    The <writeBack> tag is written with a lower case "w".
    The "connetionPool" needs an upper case "P".
    Update--
    I think that you have to specify also an SQL statement for the update tag, for example:
    <?xml version="1.0"; encoding="utf-8"?>
    <WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1";>
    <WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
    <WebMessage name="pmet_update">
    <XML>
    <writeBack connectionPool="PMTCOG">
    <insert> select null from dual</insert>
    <update> UPDATE XREF_PMET_URL SET URL= '@{c1}' WHERE API='@{c0}'</update>
    </writeBack>
    </XML>
    </WebMessage>
    </WebMessageTable>
    </WebMessageTables>
    The witeback wants for both the tags (<insert></insert> and <update></update>) an SQL Statement.
    Hope this help's
    Thanks
