Problem showing BI Publisher Report in Dashboard with Prompt

Hi,
I've created a BI Publisher report using BI Answer as data source. For getting some xml files for building the rtf Template I've set my filter datas to fixed values.
I've created my dashboard with my BIP report and a query from BI Answer.
All was shown correctly now. Now I've also implemented a prompt setting my filter datas.
The BI Answer part is still shown correctly, but my BIP report shows the following error:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
What's wrong??? Please help ...
Thanks
chrissy

I think I know why it is not working ...
I've 7 BI Answer queries for getting all the required datas for my report.
So I have 7 data sets which I've set to concatenated data-soruce in BI Publisher. Normally parameters and LOVs are disabled, when BI Answer is used for data set, but it isn't anymore when data source is concatenated and so don't use anymore my prompted values ...
How can I use concatenated data source in BIP with prompted values???
If this isn't possible I#m back to one of my other threads ...
BI Answer: Calculation after Total
thanks

Hi Mahendra,
Confirm if you are getting the same issue outside Xcelsius i.e in the Microsoft Excel.
Try refreshing the Live office objects in MS excel using the option "Refresh all objects "and then import .xls it in Xcelsius.

How i can ristrict my BI Publisher report in Dashboards.

Dear All,
How i can ristrict my BI Publisher report in Dashboards.
I have different branches in my report .
I have to send my report split by branches and have to give security to that branch user.
Is it posible in BIP or i have to do in Data Base Level.
I need more information on dashboards
Regards
Subbu..

Hi Subbu,
Apology for delay in reading your post.
Your needs and their solution are,
'split by branches ' - use bursting capability of BI Publisher
'have to give security to that branch user' - make out the report in specific folder and dashboard in BI Dashboard. Then give role based and grouped access to users to this Dashboard. For this navigate in BI Application to Settings > Admin > Manage Presentation Catalog. here you can setup dashboard specific security.
Cheers

Anyone have a single report or dashboard with proposals / projects together

While doing portfolio rationalization, we are seeking a single report or dashboard with proposals / projects together. We need to know what our planning horizon looks like based on our active projects along with the proposals. Does anyone have suggestions on an integrated solution?

I just posted the S-Curve_Report_V2.xls to the Documents folder.

Dashboard with prompts does not go to cache

Hi,
all I've been reading on the internet and documentation about caches, makes me think that seeding the cache is only useful for running reports, but not Dashboards. Is this true?
I have seeded the cache with one iBot, and if I run the report iit goes to the caché. But if I use the dashboard which contains the report, it does not go to the cache. Could this be because in the dashboard I have 5 prompts which I'm using in the report?
Does the cache work when the dashboard contains prompts used as filters in the report?
I have seen in the forum and blogs the conditions for a query to go to the cache instead of going to the database, and I follow all the rules. But for example, if I have in a dashboard with prompts, a report with the following columns:
Column A, B, C, D
where C is prompted
and D is prompted
what should be the ibot to execute?

Thanks for the link, but I already checked. Also, it goes to cache when I run the report by itself (from the answers window), but not when launched from the dashboard.
To answer your question, one of the prompts contains month and year, and it's filled from a variable defined in the repository (selec max(month_year) from table). Also, every prompt that we use saves the choice made by the user in a variable (so that we can filter in the report). Could this be the problem? Does cache not work with prompts kept in variables, or prompts that use variables?
Thanks!!

Issues with BI publisher report in dashboard

Hello all,
I got some issues about BI publisher reports in a dashboard.
I use a dashboard prompt in combination with a BIP report.
1.) I don't want to see the publisher control bar in my dashboard. Now you can't view the report anymore after using the dashboard prompt. Because it says you have to press the view button which is on the publisher control bar.
So when I add the bar. Then I have first to press on go in the dashboard prompt and after that I have to press on view in the publisher control bar.
2.) When I open my dashboard I see a scroll bar in my BIP report. Now when I use the dashboard prompt, it disappears. So I can't view the entire report anymore
3.) I like to develop in english, but the test must be in dutch. Now I have a english dashboard with a dutch control bar. Also logging in to BIP in english and then navigating to analytics will not help.
4.) I can't use I-bots on BI publisher reports, or can I?
5.) This is not really an issue, but more like a problem but I want that users can view the BIP report on the dashboard only in HTML, but I want that they only can export to excel, is this possible?
Hoping for some answers ;)
Thanks in advance!

Hi Venkat,
Thanks for your quick respond.
1.) Auto Run is enabled. And the report runs automatically as well. But then it ignores the dashboard prompt (as a regular report would do as well). But when I choose some values in the prompt and then press go. Then it says I have to press on view as well.
2.) no that is not the case. My report is so big that it always need a scroll bar ;) also adjusting the size settings in the dashboard doesn't help. The only occurs when viewing in HTML, when previewing in excel or RTF it all just work fine.
3.) true, but ow well this is the least importetant one ;) so if this doesn't work, than it doesn't work ;)
4.) Ok, I will have a look on that.
5.) I did enabled HTML and EXCEL outputs in my BIP report. But when the first point is working, then I don't want to see the control bar anymore and I want to have the output on the dashboard in HTML and then I want to build a button, or a link or something that exports the request to excel. Is that possible?

Re: Confusion about BI Publisher and Dashboards
Posted: Nov 19, 2007 4:08 AM in response to: 53637 Reply
No. All you need to do is go to the Edit Dashboard Page and pull in the BI Publisher report using the BI Publisher Report section. Ensure that you have specified proper BI Publisher path in the InstanceConfig.xml

When you go into the Edit Dashboards page, do you see a BI Publisher icon to your left? just drag and drop that into your page and then click on properties to include your BI Publisher report. If you get an error then check(only after doing the above) whether you have these entries in your InstanceConfig.xml
<AdvancedReporting>
<ReportingEngine>XmlP</ReportingEngine>
<Volume>XmlP</Volume>
<ServerURL>http://localhost:9704/xmlpserver/services/XMLPService</ServerURL>
<WebURL>http://localhost:9704/xmlpserver</WebURL>
<AdminURL>http://localhost:9704/xmlpserver/servlet/admin</AdminURL>

Sorting Problem in XML Publisher Report

Dear Members,
I am facing problems with sorting data in my XML Publisher Report.
We are using Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 Version and i developed a rtf Template and executable is an RDF which generates XML Data.
I want the whole report to group by element ITEM_NAME which is a character in the ascending order. I tried several ways but it is not working properly.
I don't know how to upload the RTF template in this forum. I tried to post the XML Code and since its excceds 30000 characters i cant post it in the forum.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sandeep

You can't upload the template here; you can post a part of the relevant XML code and template code here.
or send me a sample XML and RTF template to [email protected] and I will take a look.

Put BI Publisher report in dashboard without OBIEE

Hi All,
I created a BI Publisher report, unfortunately, we don't have OBIEE, I can create a button to call the report from APEX, but how do I change it to dashboard report without OBIEE?
Appreciate your help on this,
Thanks,

Are you trying to have multiple sql queries and have multiple sections displaying different data sets ? Or with one single query but display it in different ways in a single report ?
You can create one single query as Report Query in APEX and associate it with a BIP report layout. So you can achieve a Dashboard layout with the report query/layout.

Non OBIEE Publisher reports and dashboards

I have developed several Publisher reports that source data from direct SQL queries against an Oracle DB (They're not star schema reports that are appropriate for OBIEE). The reports are parameterized and direct SQL requests are used to populate the lists of values for the parameters. My task is to make them available on a dashboard.
I have a report attached to a dashboard but I cannot figure out how to prompt for the parameters in the dashboard. Everything I've read about dashboard prompts and presentation variables assumes the report is sourced by OBIEE.
Is there a way to do this?

You have to create parameter in reports and as well create prompt in dashboard with same name.
With this link, the values will be passed into report parameter.
Use that parameter in report to filter

Problem in XML Publisher Report submission from OAF Pages

Hi,
I am trying to submit Concurrent Program from OAF Page which is an XML Publisher Report.
The request is Submitting and Completing successfully but when we open to view the out put we are able to view the HTML tags.
We checked the same Concurrent program by submitting from the SRS window After completing if we click on view output the rtf file is getting opened correctly.
I tested with normal rdf report it is working fine with standard Concurrent program used in OAF
So my doubt is
Does the Standard Concurrent program used in OAF supports the rtf reports.
Please suggest if any modifications to be done in the Concurrent program
Krishna

Krishna
Modified your code a little bit.Use this
    public int submitCPRequest(String shipmentId) {
    System.out.println("into submitCPRequest");
        OAPageContext pageContext;
        OAWebBean webBean;
    try {
OAApplicationModule am =pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
    OADBTransaction tx = (OADBTransaction)am.getOADBTransaction();
    java.sql.Connection pConncection = tx.getJdbcConnection();
    ConcurrentRequest cr = new ConcurrentRequest(pConncection);
    String applnName = new String("XXAPL"); //Application that contains the concurrent program
    System.out.println("ApplName"+ applnName);
    String cpName = new String("XXAPLPOSMPRD"); //Concurrent program name
    System.out.println("Concc Name"+ cpName);
    String cpDesc = new String(" APL PO Shipping Material Pickup Request"); // concurrent Program description
    // Pass the Arguments using vector
    // Here i have added my parameter headerId to the vector and passed the
    //vector to the concurrent program
    Vector cpArgs = new Vector();
    cpArgs.addElement(shipmentId);
    System.out.println("Args"+ cpArgs);
    // Calling the Concurrent Program
    int requestId = cr.submitRequest(applnName, cpName,cpDesc, null, false, cpArgs);
    cr.addLayout("XXAPL", "XXAPLPOSMPRT", "ENG", "US" , "RTF");
    System.out.println("Req Id"+ requestId);
    tx.commit();
    return requestId;
        catch (RequestSubmissionException e) {
        System.out.println("Into Exception");
        OAException oe = new OAException(e.getMessage());
        oe.setApplicationModule(this);
        throw oe;
        catch(Exception exception)
        throw OAException.wrapperException(exception);
    }Thanks

that it is a Report Builder bug and How I can correct this? or maybe I'm creating the reports in a wrong way... I need help...
Thank you very much

Hi Forum,
Thanks for the various contributions that are helping my experience with oracle.These are my two current problems:
1. Assuming I have built a page of payroll for 40 workers that repeats monthly. Is there a way of copying the previous page for last month into this month? Or, do I have to build a new page on the same table and update it?
2. Please, what procedure should I follow to print a form or a report from the application page?Please ask only ONE question per thread. These issues do not appear to be related in any way, so so the thread is likely to end up an unmanageable, confusing mess.

Add publisher report to dashboard

Hi all
in 10g there was an option to add a BI publisher report to a dashboard.
I do not see that link in 11g. Does anybody know if this is still possilbe?
I want to try and click on a id number in one dashboard tab and have it link to a publisher report that accepts the parameter in another tab.
Currently i have set up a dashboard prompt that sets a presentation variable. This PV is the same name as the parameter in the publisher report.
Having trouble getting this going. Has anybody seen a good link / tutorial on how to integrate these two in 11g?
Thanks

Thank you! it is what i was looking for.
Reading through the docs it appears that when I should be able to see my publisher reports in the catalog view.
when i log in to OBIEE i only see the analysis that I created in OBIEE under the catalog tree.
I have to log into publisher to see my publisher reports.
According to the docs i should be able to see my publisher reports in the catalog view. And then just drag and drop one.
Any idea how I can see the publisher reports when I log into Business Intelligence??
Thanks

Changing Webi Report Data Provider With Prompt

Hi All,
I am trying to change Data Source of a Webi Report using RESTful Web Services. Fo this I have referred code on Changing Dataproviders for a Webi Report using RESTful Web Services Post.
I am able to change data source for Webi Reports without Prompts but it is not working for Webi Reports with Prompts.
Can anybody help me??
Thanks & Regards
Swapnil Kulkarni

Hello Swapnil,
In order to perform a change data source, you have to answer the prompts (like in the regular Webi UI). In this kind of case, RESTful webservice will send back the list of parameters needed after you submitted your target mappings. Then, you have to answer prompts and send all the information (mappings + prompts answers).
Does it make sense?
Best regards,
Anthony
