check it this screen short
FYI...
http://kalpesh-obiee-eklavya.blogspot.com/2011/06/reset-button-on-prompts-11g.html
1) In obi10g try it obi11g
If you need to rename the 'GO' button, follow the below steps.
Go to {OracleBIDir}:\oraclebi\web\msgdb\l_en\messages and Open the globalfiltermessages.xml file.
Find this text
<WebMessage name="kmsgGFPGo"><TEXT>Go</TEXT></WebMessage>
Edit the 'Go' which is there between the TEXT tags.. for e.g.., replace the Go with Confirm
<WebMessage name="kmsgGFPGo"><TEXT>Confirm</TEXT></WebMessage>
Hope it is clear...
Thanks

OBIEE Report Export from Dashboard to Excel doesn't suppress the columns as

OBIEE Report Export from Dashboard to Excel doesn't suppress the columns as expected even after the properties are set to Suppress in the report. In Dashboard it is suppressed Properly but in the excel export it is not suppressed and values for the columns are repeated.
Added the following to the instanceconfig :
<Download>
<Export xsi:type="excel">
<DataValue>UseFormattedValue</DataValue>
<RepeatRows>false</RepeatRows>
</Export>
</Download>
But then could not restart services.The following error occured :
Util Logger] Exception occurred:

Problem solved!!
 
See this part of the query:
 
if :P15_GESTOR_PROPIETARI='-3' then 
w:= w||' AND (("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID"=:GESTOR '; 
w:= w||'OR "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID_ESTA_ASSIGNADA"=:GESTOR)'; 
w:= w||'OR ("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."AGR_***_***_ID"=:P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB ';
w:= w||' AND "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."PUBLICA"=''S''))'; 
end if; 
 
when instead of :P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB I put a value (say ''EE'') it works correctly, finally I created an application item (ASSOCIAT) and when when I change :P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB I set :ASSOCIAT to the same value and the query is based on this application item:
 
if :P15_GESTOR_PROPIETARI='-3' then 
w:= w||' AND (("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID"=:GESTOR '; 
w:= w||'OR "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID_ESTA_ASSIGNADA"=:GESTOR)'; 
w:= w||'OR ("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."AGR_***_***_ID"=:ASSOCIAT '; 
w:= w||' AND "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."PUBLICA"=''S''))'; 
end if;

Hi,
In OBIEE 11g, an image needs to be placed in two locations. They are
1. Middleware_Home\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\app\res\your_skin\images
Example: D:\OBI11g\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\app\res\s_blafp\images
2. Middleware_Home\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\servers\bi_server1\tmp\_WL_user\analytics_11.1.1\7dezjl\war\res\your_skin\images
Example: D:\OBI11g\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\servers\bi_server1\tmp\_WL_user\analytics_11.1.1\7dezjl\war\res\s_blafp\images
PS: In the above example s_blafp skin is used.
Usage of the newely added image in a Title View:
res/s_blafp/images/new_image.jpg
Award points it is useful.

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>',
 '<param3 name>', '<param3 value>',
 '<param4 name>', '<param4 value>'

Hi,
I have a new query about dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10g..

How to export the dashboard reports for Excel in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0?

Hi Experts,
How to export the dashboard reports for Excel in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0?
For example:
Dashboard contains more than one report, and add one export button for downloading these reports for Excel.
Is it possible to implement this requirement?Thanks.

There is no direct option, you can try the following workaround.
Page Option -> Print -> Printable Html
Then File -> Save Page as
Choos Save as type as -> All files
File name as Report.xls
When you Open the xls file, if you get a pop up saying problem during load just omit it and proceed.
The report will open in excel.
Or save the page as html /mht and open it with Excel, this also will work.
Note: I have tested this in Mozilla
Thanks,

Dynamic Change Of Column Name based On The Dashboard Prompt in OBIEE 10g

Hi All,
I have a dashbord prompt called "calendar date". And, my report having some columns called "Product Name", "Code", "Yest Balance", "Today Balance". Now, while displaying the report in the dashboard, instead of "Today's Balance" they want to see the date which we have selected in the promt as a column name (each time we select a date in the promt, that would appear as a field name in stead of "Today's Balance" but values will be same (should show the balance for that date).
Please advice.
Thanks,
BK.

yeah...you are correct....these are workaround ...no out of box solution.
Take the MAR11 target example in this current month is MAR 11 is populated by a session variable which gives you always current month.
Second using union -combined query creating a header from one report and results from other report.
But, coming to your req.......what ever the value selected in the calendar date that should come up in the column heading. so this is not possible with variable because for date of calendar image type you can not set a presentation variable. If not you can use a REQUEST VARIABLE.
You can try 2nd way creating 2 reports one for header other for value.
You can choose based on your flexibility. Instead you are showing the report along with prompt. I would suggest use appropriate name as 'selected date value'.

OBIEE Writeback : Clock appears when navigating the dashboard

Hello Guys,
Wrong time to post the question just before long weekend.
I have a writeback report that views fine when I navigate it through Answers. It has 500 rows.
When I view the same report on the dashboard , after navigating to the fourth or fifth page process gets hung and all I see is the clock that is ticking.
The clock will keep on ticking indefintely.
When I click on cancel the page refreshes and I able to see the desired report results.
This is a replicable issue at my end.
I have gone through the presentation and OBI Server logs but I dont see an error or exact error description.
Has anyone faced this problem.
What is the best way to solve the problem.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Neerupama

Sujana,
This is a bug in 11g, apply patch 12561330.

Unable to access the Dashboard in 11g

Hi Gurus,
I was successful in installing obiee 11g on windows 7 home edition,I am new to 11g OBIEE . I was able to login into the dashboard and do everything as usual.After the restart of the machine I am getting the following error
*From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.*
All the services start up right ,atleast the WLS and databases ,can you please let me of other services if I am missing any...
Nothing has changed since the installation ,it was all working yesterday morning after the installation but today after the restart it does not show the page ..Do you think my loopback installation has to do anything with this,please advice.
Regards
Malam

I have noticed OBIEE 11g does not run stable on windows 7 ,
Try XP or Windows 2003 Server... Its a good place to start as your new to OBIEE, You will encounter non everyday errors just because of win 7.
Check your FMW (Fusion Middleware is up) Also Check if your weblogic server is up , You should have the URLS for these 2 servers when you were installing OBIEE.
If your FMW is up see if the pie status's are all green . or can you see some red. this means some services are indeed down.. Then check the server logs for more details.
These can be found in the MIDDLEWAREHOME Directory, Somewhere here c:\Middleware\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\
These will be logs for Your FMW, Weblogic Server...
Cheers

Presentation Variable in the SQL default section in the dashboard prompt

Hi Gurus,
I have two prompts and two go buttons. First Go button is used to populate pv_category1 presentation variable.
category_column --> pv_category1--> 1st Prompt
Product_Column --> pv_product2 --> 2nd Prompt
I want to set the default for the 2nd Prompt depending on the 1st Prompt ( Category) chosen by the user.
In the SQL default --> i have typed in the below Query.
*Select TableName.Product_Column from Subject_Area where category_column = '@{pv_category1}'*
The Problem is that i dont get any default value for 2nd Prompt after choosing the First prompt and hitting the GO Button.
If i hardcode the value in @{pv_category1} ...
for eg
Select TableName.Product_Column from Subject_Area where category_column = 'Incidents' i get the corresponding value as default.
But i want this 2nd prompt (product) to dyamically default depending on the 1st prompt (category) chosen by the user.
I am using OBIEE 10.1.3.4 and i have googled a lot on this topic...
can we not use Presentation variable in the SQL default section of the Dashboard Prompt?
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Ashish

Thanks for the Quick Reply.
But the functionality that i want to achieve is the default value in the 2nd column (out of many values for 2nd column) based on the 1st column chosen by the USER. for eg we have two columns in our database ie category and Product.. Data goes like this
category ProductName
Incidents --- A
Incidents --- B
Incidents --- C
Changes --- D
Changes --- E
Projects --- M
Projects --- N
Projects --- O
Projects --- P
If the User chooses Incidents in the first prompt then the default in the 2nd prompt should be B ( out of A,B,C Values available in the 2nd prompt)....
Checking the constraint checkbox doesnt solve the default problem...
Thanks
Ashish
