Presenting Dashboards to users

Hello Gurus,
Can you please share your knowledge.. how you are presenting your dashboards to the users? are you using Infoview or Enterprise Portal or saving html file ( generated from swf) in a shared drive? if on Infoview or EP, how you are controlling the user access ? if on common drive how you are controlling user access? Please advise me...you will be awarded with good marks ;).. thanks

Hi Sathya,
The easiest way to present dashboards with user level security is through Infoview.
Basically you can control who has access to what dashboard through the CMC.
In addition you can do row level security at the the Universe.
If you want to share your dashboards externally (ie: through sharepoint).  I recommend that you don't share it through a network drive but through an external web application.  It is much easier for the users to access the dashboards this way instead of sifting through a ton of network directories.
To accomplish user security you can control what dashboards are accessible through the 3rd party web app from a user logon which can be captured through single sign on for example.  Row level security and single sign on to the dashboard can then be accomplished by sending in the correct CELogonToken to the dashboard.
Please visit my blog article on how to accomplish this.

  • Default dashboards for users

    How can I set default dashboards for users on startup? I mean always a user start OBI,one (default) dashboard should be shown...How can I set this property? Can anyone tell me in detail?

  • Remote Desktop Session - users presented with Other User only?

    Hi,
    I am running a 2008 R2 server patched up to date.  It has the remote desktop services role installed.  Whenever I RDP or if a user launches a terminal services session they are presented with OTHER USER only.  
    This involves clicking the Other User before entering their credentials which is becoming a pain.  
    Non of the other servers are behaving this way.  I've compared the settings with the other and all is identical.  I've checked the local security policy and disabled all Group Policies but the behaviour still persists. Any ideas?
    Thanks, Matt.

    Hi Matt,
    Can you clarify more for this line, “Whenever I RDP or if a user launches a terminal services session they are presented with OTHER USER only.” what you mean by this? If I understand, when you taking RDP, you need to enter the credential for user manually
    and that you don’t want, yes? If misunderstood, please correct.
    For that, for a try you can enable the Group policy under credential manager and enable SSO for remote desktop connection. You can find the setting under beneath path.
    Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Credentials Delegation
    Allow Delegating Default Credentials: Enable
    Add "TERMSRV/<Your server name>" to the server list.
    There are other setting which you can check with following link.

  • I'm thinking of  buying one of the new Imacs and am presently a PC user - how hard is it or how can I transfer files from my PC to a new IMac

    I am thinking about purchasing a new IMac and presently use a PC.  I would like to find out how difficult it is to transfer files from the PC to the IMac or in more detail - just how is it done.  Many thanks for any responses.

    There are several ways by which it can be done. There is a special Migration Assistant for transferring an entire user account from a PC to the Mac. You would have to establish a network connection between the two machines.
    Transfer the files you want to an external USB hard drive from the PC then transfer from the external drive to the Mac.
    Ask the Apple retailer if they will transfer your data to the new Mac at the time of purchase. You will need to bring the PC with you.

  • How to change the portal role presentation based on users BW authorization?

    Hello,
    I have created 3 BW Roles, each one contains an iView with a certain report.
    For simplicity let's name the Roles A,B,C and assume that in order to see the proper report the user needs to be assigned to the matching group (A,B,C) at the BW side.
    I have imported these 3 roles to the portal as worksets, created new pcd role, placed these 3 worksets inside the new role and assigned this role to a certain group of users in the portal (these users are ABAP users so they are the same at the BW side as well).
    What I would like to do is this: I would like that each user that I have assigned this new role to will see only the worksets that he/she allowed to see based on it's BW authorization. Meaning, if I have been assigned roles A and B at the BW I will see only worksets A and B inside the role.
    The problem is this: From the portal I cannot assign the users to the BW groups and from BW I cannot control pcd roles so this kind of change requires me to make two modifications: One for authorization from the BW and one for presentation from the portal. I would like to manage it just from one place, either from the BW or from the portal, I don't care.
    How can I achieve this?

    I think I have found a solution: Export it as a role instead of a workset and do one to one assignments with the BW groups.

  • How to hide/show dashboards for user/groups

    Hi,
    Please help on how to hide/show dashboard menu/sub menu to users/groups based on their profile settings.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi Jinu,
    1) Do some or all of those subreports span multiple pages?
    2) Do each of the Subreports start on a new page?
    If yes, for both, then here's what you need to do:
    1) Create a formula (@True) with this code:
    shared booleanvar SetStatus:= True
    2) Create another formula (@False) with this code:
    shared booleanvar SetStatus:= False
    Drag and drop the @True formula on the details sections for which you want the Page Footer to be suppressed.
    Similarly, drop the @False formula on the details sections for which you want the Page Footer to show up.
    Then, go to the Section Expert > Select Page Footer c > Click the formula button beside Suppress and use this code:
    shared booleanvar SetStatus;

  • Presenting reports for users

    Hi!
    We are about to go live with our BW system and present reports to our "end-users".
    We want to present the reports with a "company graphical structure", like all other presentations with graphical elements.
    I've done some small web reports, but I haven't been able to cusomize them as much as I wanted.
    At teched in Vienna I watched the mendocino presentation and there they had the piecharts and reports in e-mails and this looked very nice.
    I want to do something like this, but I can't find how to do it.
    Could any one point me in the direction some good documents, tutorials or some books, so I can do some reading and perhaps learn something.
    cheers!

  • User account folder present, but no user account after TM restore

    I did a reinstall of my OS last night, wiped the drive and reinstalled.
    Then i used migration assistant to restore from time machine backup.
    I was not allowed to use my old username and data because I had setup using the same when the OS first started. So I changed the name to add my "Jr." and changed the Short Name to "Radmac" where before it was "Rad".
    Woke up this morning to start working and "radmac" is in the user folder, but the account is not in System Prefs, thus not accessible.
    I could drag everything to the other account, but is there some way to access this user data just by setting up the account again?

    Hi,
    Based on my research, user profile is only generated/loaded during Interactive logon process. Interactive logon is intended for users who are interactively using the machine, who can run applications/programs on the machine and
    see the full desktop. Logon type for Interactive logon is 2 (locally), and logon type for RemoteInteractive logon is 10 (Terminal Services).
    Logon type 3 indicates a Network Logon, which only provides network access to the destination computer, for example, accessing a shared word document.
    Therefore, there aren’t user profiles for those users who have Netwok Logon events logged on the machine.
    Here are some references below I suggest you refer to:

  • Create a new user in Presentation Services

    Hello All,
    I would like to know if it is possible to create a user in Presentation Services.
    For now, when we create a user, we use the administration tool. We do the following manipulation:
    Manage-> Security-> Action-> users
    Is it possible to create a new user in Presentation Services?
    Thank you in advance for your answers
    Best regards

    Hi,
    Users are created in the Repository. When a user logs in via the presentation server, this user is validated against the one created in the repository.

  • Adobe Reader users are occasionaly presented with Standard when published via Citrix XenApp 5.0

    We are publishing Adobe Standard to 4 users over 6 servers and have both Acrobat Standard and Reader installed on each Citrix server.  During installation of Standard, Reader was selected as the default application.
    Regardless of this configuration, infrequently the Citrix servers will present Acrobat Standard to users that are not listed as users of the application.  So far, we have not noticed any patterns of behavior and have noted the following:
    Although, all servers (1-6) have incorrectly presented Reader users with the Standard application at least once, only a few of the servers (1, 4, & 5) frequently violate the configuration settings;
    Reader users and Standard users can coexist on the Citrix server and be presented the appropriate application (i.e. 5 reader users can be presented Reader and 5 Standard users can be presented Standard at the same time).
    Citrix servers can present Acrobat Standard to Reader users even if there are no users of Standard accessing the server.
    Users are starting to experience two types of failures:a. Acrobat fatally crashes with the following event:
    Faulting application Acrobat.exe, version 9.2.0.124, time stamp 0x4ac7308f, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x00000000, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0c094e16, process id 0x2aa8, application start time 0x01caf2b4e54acde3.
           b. Adobe Reader will simply stop responding and error out when being accessed
    Please submit any suggestions you might have for configuring these two applications to nicely coexist on a Citrix server.

    Adobe Reader was installed and running on all Citrix servers since their inception over a year ago.
    Recently, we installed Adobe Standard on each server and during installation Adobe Standard asked whether Reader or Standard should be used as the default program.  Adobe reader was selected and 80-85% of the time, the Citrix servers observe this rule.
    On other occasions, when users with access to Reader open a PDF, Citrix will present Adobe Standard instead of the default program.  At first, I thought it might be caused by a user with Standard already open but further testing proved Adobe Standard can be presented to a user of Reader even if there is no open session of Standard.

  • Setting Default Dashboard based on Groups/users in OBIEE 10g

    Hi,
    I am having a requirement and facing some issues with setting a default dashboard option to the users who ever access the application. Below is the brief description of entire requirement.
    The main requirement is to integrate OBIEE into a .net and silver light application. We will be having a 3 links in the .net application , which in turn displays the OBIEE reports and dashboards upon clicking the 3 links.
    We are using the concept of Init blocks, session variables and Go URL from an OBIEE standpoint for accomplishing this integration requirement. We have also configured LDAP server in OBIEE.
    The issue we are facing is out of the 3 links in .net application, we have one link/icon called dashboard icon which should display bunch of OBIEE dashboard pages in the form of 4 tabs but currently it is showing the My Dashboard home page. For this to achieve to set default dashboard page is to go to My account and change the default dashboard to the desired dashboard and log out and log in back to the application and we will be all set with dashboard pages being displayed upon lcking the dashboard icon but this is manual process for each user as they need to login into the .net application and change the setting s in My Account manually to change the default dashboard setting to the desired one.
    How should I make sure, whoever is logging into the Application (every user) should be able to see the default dashboard pages without changing the options manually by going to My Account.
    The LDAP server is taking care of the Authentication part of the users as every user record is maintained in Active directory which in turn is part of LDAP server.
    To brief high level requirement on single statement is  how to make a default dashboard pages to users based on group in OBIEE. Is there any option in OBIEE, where we can change or set a default dashboard to particular group in OBIEE either in RPD or UI level.
    Appreciate your help on this.
    Let me know if anyone needs any more information in this regard.
    Thank

    George,
    Julius will probabely earn his refund by pointing you to:

    Roles
    By Authorization Values
    Enter object S_TCODE and the transaction you're looking for.
    Main difference with all reports about transaction assignments is that they look in the menu (table AGR_TCODES) and as you've already discovered that does not hold the actual authorizations. These are collected in tables AGR_1250 through AGR_1252 (note) and this report (looking at object S_TCODE, field TCD in table AGR_1251) also evaluates field value ranges for you.
    Jurjen
    (note) This is the role side of stuff. Authorizations are held in profiles which nowadays are maintained with the profile generator. I assume an 'all green lights in PFCG' situation, wher roles and profiles are in sync.
