OBIEE web services: Handling saved filters

I was trying to call obiee web services to get report data. And I used ReportParams to pass the prompt values. But this was not working in case of saved filters in the report.
Plz advice .....

searching.gif is referred through CSS files, thus replace the searching.gif (under res\sk_oracle10\b_mozilla_4) with another custom created blank gif and name it as searching.gif....rename the original searching.gif to searching_original.gif for reference.
caveat: This will affect your enterprise wide display.

  • Handling Searching Images in OBIEE Web Services

    We have a set of OBIEE web services (12 total) that are being presented on a SharePoint portal in embedded iFrames. Our business client has requested that we hide the searching.gif image (and related text) to avoid the mess that is produced with many of these reports being rendered per iFrame. We are using the setBridge method along with a new user created just for service-oriented reporting. Everything is working fine other than this "issue".
    Is there any way to suppress the images? Can the images be customized for a specific user (i.e. replace serching.gif with a blank image)? Any other ideas?
    Thanks!

  • Problem with OBIEE Web Service getHTMLForReport() Method

    Hello, I´m trying to develop an example using the OBIEE Web Services and I have a problem with the method “getHTMLForReport(String pageID,String pageReportID,String sessionID)” (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12103_01/books/AnyWebServ/AnyWebServ_Methods8.html).
    The problem is the next one: In the pageReportID parameter should contain a character string ID returned by the addReportToPage() method, but the addReportToPageMethod is a void method. (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12103_01/books/AnyWebServ/AnyWebServ_Methods4.html#wp1008810)
    Which is the value of the pageReportID parameter?
    Thank you.

    Yes, there seems to be a bug in the oracle documentation. Basically, the second parameter of the addReportToPage() method is a free text. You can put "report101" as value of second parameter. Then you have to use the same string in the getHTMLForReport()method.
    For example ..
    addReportToPage(pageId, "report2", reportRef, "Jaggi Di Report", null, null, sessionID);
    getHtmlForReport(pageId, "report2", sessionID);

  • Applying report filter when using OBIEE web services

    Hi
    Would like to know if it's possible apply report filter when using the web serivce ? Read from Oracle doc that there's this applyReportParams() method in ReportEditingService that could do the job. Can anyone confirm this ?
    Currently we've tried to access the report using the WebCatalogService, read the xml and retrieve the result using the XMLViewService successfully. However there's an additional requirement to pass in the report filter on the fly.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Gerardnico,
    I have a question regarding the OBIEE Web Services,
    We are using C # for Automation code to test Obiee Analysis Web Services,while designing filter in C # to call report we are facing difficulty with Presentation Variable using Variable value. Where as it is working fine for Column value.
    Note: The choice list has 2 custom values.
    So please guide me in this regard.

    Reddi, I have connected Xcelsius to OBIEE web services. It's the best of two worlds: superior obiee admin and web services performance and complete control over data visualization. See this post for details and code: http://www.bihappyblog.com/2011/05/15/connect-xcelsius-dashboard-to-obiee/

  • OBIEE Web Services into APEX

    I am trying to get an OBIEE web service to be presented on an APEX report.
    The first step is to create the Web Service reference and can be done using an Apex wizard. However, when I use the address http://xxx/analytics/saw.dll?wsdl I get an error saying the WSDL document was unretrievable. I can open the document directly in IE, OBIEE and Apex are on the same server and I am not using SSL.
    Has anyone experinced this before?
    Adrian

    Are you using hostname or the ip in the URL. I am wondering whether APEX is actually able to ping the server. Try using this http://ip/analytics/saw.dll?WSDL. Also, just remember that we cannot use OBI EE SOAP APIs directly within APEX since OBI EE SOAP APIs has multiple SOAP bindings. It will give you an error right in the next step. BI Publisher APIs will work just fine since it has only one SOAP binding but not OBI EE. I just typed this on my blog to your query there :-).
    Thanks,

  • OBIEE Web Services - ReportParams Structure

    I have successfully integrated with OBIEE's Web Services to pull back HTML for specific reports. I am now moving on to filtering the reports using the ReportParams structure. I have found virtually no documentation on how to do this. I would essentially like to pass through a parameter inside of the htmlViewService object in order to filter a report. I have something like this:
    ReportParams reportParams = new ReportParams();
    reportParams.filterExpressions[0] = "3050"; // have even tried: reportParams.filterExpressions[0] = "Project ID equals 3050"
    obiconn.m_HTMLservice.addReportToPage(pageID, reportName, reportRef, null, reportParams, null, sessionID);
    I am getting an error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object (it is happening specifically on the reportParams.filterExpression[0] = "3050"
    I'm assuming that I am not using the filter expression array properly. Can someone please help?
    Thanks.

    sorry for wrong post
    but I am doing this and it is not working for
    String filterExpression = "<sawx:expr xsi:type=\"sawx:comparison\" op=\"beginsWith\" " +

    Please guide me here how i specify correct portname which can call Handler class also.

    From the above WSDL, I have four port name (port binding="tns:Hello_Binding" name="*RemoteServicePortType1*) which is not matching with PortType (portType name="*RemoteServicePortType*")
    even i have iterated from getPorts() method and used to invoke the service.But handler was not calling when i invoke.
    Please guide me here how i specify correct portname which can call Handler class also.
    Thanks in advance,

  • How to write a Web service Handler without modifying the Web service code

    Hi,
    How can I write a SOAPHandler without modifying the Web service code. I want to add a generic handler which will take care of SOAPHeader for all the webmethods. To add a handler is it necessary to modify the web service code?

    You will find answer in [implementing_handlers_using_jaxws_2|http://blogs.sun.com/sdimilla/entry/implementing_handlers_using_jaxws_2]

  • Installing web service handler

    is there a way of programmatically deploying a handler onto a web
    service operation?
    i looked at jax-rpc HandlerRegistry but when i set a handler chain, it
    did not do anything. is this aupposed to set the handler chain on the
    server so all future calls will use the handler?
    i would like to do this instead of defining everything at deploy time in
    the web-services.xml file.

    I think you can use oracle web services manager for this. I can't speak from personal experience but from what I've heard I think this is the preferred approach for dealing with secured web services.

  • OBIEE & Web services

    Hi All Experts,

    A SOAP command is the object that web services pass back and forth with a calling program in order to communicate. Here's an introductory article on Web Services
    I'll dig through my archives and try and locate the java example I mentioned. In the mean time, here is a blog that walks you through a simple C# .Net program that calls an OBIEE Request via web services. Check this article out.
    In order to assign points to a user, go to their post and near the "Reply" button you will see a button that says "Helpful" and a second that says "Correct". For each thread, you can give out 5 helpful posts (5 points each) and 1 correct post (10 points). It is customary to assign points based on the quality you deem the response is.
    Best regards,

  • OBIEE Web Services executeSQLQuery()

    Hello,
    Documentation and example usage of web services is extremely poor - does anyone have an example of sample logical SQL that works in the XmlViewService's executeSQLQuery() method? It doesn't seem to accept any query I give it, leading me to question the scope of its visibility. What exactly can these queries target? Does anyone have an example of a query hitting a table from the HCM domain?
    Thanks,
    Tor

    Tor,
    Going back to one of your previous post I just saw an interesting element:
    I would execute these queries once per environment, and then compare the output to determine if we have any configuration discrepancies between HCM environments
    So you are looking for a way to make sure your environments are aligned: at what level do you want to do these checks? Are you looking for DB discrepancies? OBIEE RPD? OBIEE settings? DB settings?
    rmoff did some great work on how to check regression in OBIEE (have a look at the linked blog posts) and your case is a little like regression tests but between multiple environments.
    Doing it by comparing a given LSQL query will check for some possible discrepancies but not completely (you will ideally identify most of the discrepancies in OBIEE RPD, but some of them will not be visible just by checking the output of LSQL).

Maybe you are looking for
