Problems with dashboard prompts - 11.1.1.6 on Win 2008 64 bit

Hi, I'm just curious if anyone who is using / testing 11.1.1.6 on a 64 bit Windows 2008 environment is having issues with dashboard prompts.
I'm seeing issues where dashboard prompts are showing up with a NULL option - i.e. if a dimension has values A, B, and C, I see the prompt showing up as:
NULL
A
B
C
There are NOT nulls in the data, and I can see that the related query is only returning 3 rows. It feels like something is broken with 11.1.1.6, but just curious if others are seeing this.
BTW, this happens with all types of prompts - check boxes, radio buttons, choice lists, etc. But strangely it doesn't seem to happen with the "sample" data - not sure if it's because it's from XML instead of database?
Thx,
Scott

Nico - I owe you a ton, that's exactly the problem. So the workaround is for me to set everything to not allow NULLs in the physical layer - kind of a pain, but management.
Having said that - do you have any idea WHY this would happen? Just because a column CAN have a NULL, why would OBIEE automatically display a NULL in the prompt, even when one doesn't exist? After all, this column could also have "Nico" or "Scott" in it...and it isn't displaying those?????
Wonder if this has something to do with the new "buttonless" prompts. Or maybe I'm just missing something obvious...
Thanks!!!
Scott

Problem with dashboard prompt initial value (OBIEE 11g)

Hi alli,
I have a problem with dashboard prompt and session variable in OBIEE 11g.
I have declared a session non-system variable which I set/change with dashboard prompt. At login the variable is initialized in initialization block that gets a value from an SQL select statement.
When I change the value in prompt, the session variable changes accordingly, as it should (change is made by calling function NQSSetSessionValue() within javascript function). While I am in my dashboard, cruising around pages the variable stays the same, and when I return to the page that has prompt on it, the correct value is shown. Everything works fine.
The problem occures when I go to Catalog (in presentation services) to create some new Answers. When I return back to the same page in dashboard (which has a prompt), the prompt selected value and session variable are set back to the default value. It looks like the initialization block is executed again.
My prompt is configured like this:
- Choice List Values: SQL Results
- Default selection: Variable Expression (@{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.VariableName']} )
- Set a variable: Presentation Variable
Is there a way to stop the initialization block from executing again? Isn't it logical that the initialization block executes only at login, when the session variable is empty? I don't need it to execute every time i come to the dashboard.
Thanks in advance,
Marko

How and where do you use the nqssetvalue() function.
I tried it in several places but it doesn't work.
Can you help me, please!
Thanks

Problem with program hanging randomly on certain commands from win 7 pro client to SB Server

Having a problem with program hanging randomly on certain commands from Win-7 Pro Client to SB Server Both 64-Bit
Five other slower XP-Pro 32 Bit systems though they are older and slower systems do not seem to hang as readily if at all.
It has been very frustrating as the Client-System, SB-Server and Program should work w/o any hitches, but this seems to work fine @ times and then hang randomly.
Would appreciate any and all suggestions in assisting.... JimBAgde-MSS

You can try this, as I have had similar problems with another MS Access .MDB file and slow access before. This fixed my problem for me. On the slow computer, make sure the program is set to see the .mdb file via UNC path, not a mapped drive letter. ex.
USE: \\yourserver\shared\dental\file.mdb
DO NOT: S:\\shared\dental\file.mdb
hope this helps

Direct Database Request with Dashboard Prompt LOV Source

I have complex Direct Database Request query having Dashboard Prompt. In Dashboard prompt I want to have LOV. But to create the DPrompt having LOV, I must have the table/column in Subject Area. How I can have table in RPD not connected or joined with any table in RPD?
The idea is to do the reporting based on direct query with Prompt/LOV but do not want to include the prompt source table with other my main logical model which is used for other purpose.

Hi Kishore
Thanks for the reply but it is little less clear because I already have working Dashboard level prompt where
1. Instead of LOV I type the value, use the Presentation Variable as Set Variable on Dashboard Prompt, say pDepartment
2. Created direct database rqeuest query having where condition .. WHERE Department= '@{pDepartment}'
And the above Dashboard works great. Only problem is that I want to have LOV for Department for which I need to have the respective table/column in RPD
I liked your idea about BI publisher but how do you really deploy the BI Publisher?
Thanks

Issue with Dashboard Prompt passing value to Presentation Variable

I have 2 tabular reports that grab 2 variables respectively: @Month and @Year.
The reports work fine.
My issues is that to compute the most recent month & year, so I can pass the values to the 2 variables mentioned above, I have a dashboard prompt on the same page as the 2 reports. In the dashboard prompts (Edit Box types), I have SQL in the "Default" that computes the most recent month & year. This logic also works perfectly when you preview the results of the prompt.
My issue is that when I land on the page, it seems that the month & year prompts are not computing. I have an old value of "Dec" "2009" instead of "May" "2010".
It seems the Default SQL logic is NOT running on its own? As an aside, we do our development in a test environment and the catalog is promoted to production nightly. The "Dec" and "2009" I see is the correct value for the test environment, so it looks as if the defaul values are just being migrated with the catalog, but then the SQL to compute the latest values of the 2 propmts are never executing when the user lands on the page? Thus everyone sees Dec 2009 data instead of May 2010...Help!

If I am wrong please clarify.

HT6065 I installed this update. I have never had problems with "multiple prompts to unlock "Local items" keychain" until after I installed this update. Now, I can't get it to STOP prompting me.

So how do I fix this? How do I get this to go away? It's prompting me for a password that I haven't ever set up!

I have the same problem with three pop-up prompts:
(1) com.apple.iCloudHelper wants to use the "login" keychain. Please enter the keychain password.
(2) CalendarAgent wants to use the "login" keychain. Please enter the keychain password.
(3) AddressBookSourceSync wants to use the "login" keychain. Please enter the keychain password.
I can enter my login password and the prompt goes away for a little while, but eventually returns. Or I can click on "Cancel" many multiple times and it goes away for a little while, but returns again.
I want a solution too and hope this additional information will help.

Problem with Dashboard Details Widget

Hi!
I'm using SCOM 2012R2 UR 4 running og SQL 2012R2 with 3 MS. I have problems with the Details widget on my Dashboards. The problem is that when I select an object, no data is showing up in the details widget - see picture.
I've deleted the "Health Service State" folder on all MS's and restarted them. I've also started the console witn /clearcache without luck.
In addition I've created an SQL maintenance plan running sp_updatestats every 30. minutes, but it
still fails...
What should I do?
Best regards
Rune Haugen

Rune Haugen you are right.
1) try to restart the opeations console with /clearcache
2) try to import the following MP again an make sure that their version number is 7.1.10226.1046

Unexpected behavior with dashboard prompts set to "scope = page". Help

Hello,
I've got three dashboard pages that have a prompt with start/end dates set using ST_DT and END_DT presentation variables. Each of those pages has a report with a column that drills to the same 4th page, a detail report. Each page has it's dashboard prompt scope set to "Page."
I can switch freely between the first three tabs and enter different dates, run the reports, and the prompt dates aren't overwriting each other between tabs. However, if i drill to the detail page from any of those reports and then switch back, the start/end dates prompts are suddenly being overwritten.
Now i know we can prevent this at the report level by using "protect filter," but how does one protect a prompt? To further explain, all three summary pages use the same presentation variables, ST_DT and END_DT. However these presentation variables are not used on the detail page, so i'm not sure why drilling there suddenly breaks the prompt scope and sets it to behave like "Dashboard."

Update,
I was using ST_DT and END_DT as the presentation variables for each tab. I tried giving them unique names on each tab and they're still getting set if I drill to the detail tab. Since prompts are set to scope I'd expect them to not be set by the detail tab.

Getting problem in Dashboard Prompts

Hi All,
I have designed a dashboard prompt for the time which captured data for month,quater and year.
when i click on the month option to select some data and for example i have selected all the data from the month and click on ok and when again i open the selection option to select/deselect the some data then i find everything again (on the right side of this prompt) though all the earlier selected items are still to the left as well.
can anyone help me in resolving this issue?
thanks in advance.

thanks kishore..
it means oracle bi doesn't provide any solution for this...
actually its good when user have to select some data from the available options but in case when he/she has to select more than 20 items from 100 items available then he/she can be confused about what items he/she has already selected...
and when they click on the 'ok' button then all the duplilcates (which he/she has selected more than one time) will come to the display for column filters(via dashboard prompts).
isn't it?

Problems with dashboard

Please assist with "Dashboard" issues. Keeps closing.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Enter the name of the crashed process (DashboardClient or Dock) in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent one and post the contents – again, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)

Problem with the agent console created in the ESSO-Logon Manager 64 bits

Friends,
When I use the installer that I created in the console ESSO-Logon Manager for 32-bit, this I install it on the client side and when I synchronize with the console-Logon Manager ESSO brings me and I can see the agent all the templates I configured.
I have a problem with the agent console created in the Logon Manager ESSO-64bit.
When I use this installer on the client stations and then by the agent does not envision the applications that I have configured in the console.
This causes you can not do single sign on to applications that I have configured in the client stations
To generate this installer use the source name: ESSO-LMx64.msi
Can someone please help me with this problem, this only happens when I use the msi installer on 64-bit client stations.
Thanks.

Problem with update SCCM client to Sp1 CU3 on Windows 2008 server

Hi all,
I have problem with update SCCM client on Windows 2008 Server to 2012 Sp1 CU3. I have sent to deployment package with update (SP1 Cumulative Update 3 - server update) on four servers and after few minutes I have got in Monitoring\Deployment details four
this same errors in "Asset Details":
USER Message ID
Status type Description
NT\AUTHORITY\SYSTEM 1006
Error 3003
I love that types of error... which is har to find answer on google :-( I have tried but I haven't find any constructive :-( Did you met with something similar? Which log I should check (sorry - I'm still noob in SCCM2012) to update actual SCCM Client SP1
(5.00.7804.1000) to SP1 CU3 (5.00.7804.1400)?
Thank you.

I see in fodler with CU3 updates, are four packages:
- SP1 Cumulative update 3 - x64 client update
- SP1 Cumulative update 3 - x86 client update
- SP1 Cumulative update 3 - server update
- SP1 Cumulative update 3 - console update
It will be stupid but... maybe I should deploy x64 client update package?

Problems with RDP/RDC from Mac OSX to Windows Server 2008 on External IP

We have a customer that is using Mac and Microsoft's RDC for Mac to their servers.
They've just upgraded from Windows Server 2003 to 2008 and can't connect through RDP to their TS server on external IP.
Their servers is not in any domain and it work for them to connect to another Windows Server 2008 that is located in their office when they use internal IP.
The problem is that when using RDC to the external IP they get bellow:
"Remote Desktop cannot verify the identity of the computer you want to connect to. This problem can occur if:
The remote computer is running a version of Windows that is earlier than Windows Vista.
The remote computer is configured to support only the RDP security layer.
Contact your network administrator or the owner of the remote computer for assistance."
From here they can choose "Connect" as they did on the Server 2003 but now they get: "Remote Desktop Connection cannot verify the identity of the computer that you want to connect to.Try reconnecting to the Windows-based computer, or contact our administrator."
and is only able to choose "Ok".
I've changed the settings on the "configuration for host server for remote desktop sessions" under General from "RDP-Security Layer" to "Negotiate" and in this case I get a logon windows where i type in all my information click logon. Here I get another
error message which says something like: (We get it in Swedish). "Connection to the windows-based computer broke since there was a problem associated with the licensificationprotocol... Try to connect again" Where I can choose "Cansel" or "reconect"
but it just keeps poping up if i chose reconnect.
I've tried all settings in the TS server and there is not much to change on the RDP client. We have installed the server certificate on the Mac client but it didn't help.
We've also tried with CoRD and it works fine as RDP from a normal Windows based computer.
The only solution I've found on google is to use CoRD instead but we got problems with that connection since it keep crasching on our computer.
In my eyes the problem is on the security requirements that the RDC for Mac needs but I can't find any inforamtion on MS sites about it.
Greatfull for all tips and trix!

I too was having the problem same as everyone else. However, for me the problem all started when I replaced my SSL certificate that was used/selected in the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration utility, connections, RDP-TCP Properties. The security
layer is negotiate and the certificate is the one selected on that screen. It was not licensing related.
The certificate had expired and I didn't believe I needed it. But turns out I did, so I had to generate and validate a new one using GoDaddy (though they specifically were not part of the problem). As my Terminal Servers (Remote desktop servers)
do not have IIS installed, I was a bit stumped on how to create a new certificate request. I finally found some instructions on how to create a certificate request using the MMC snap-in, advanced operations, create custom request. The template
chosen was "legacy key", and without boring the rest of the details that part was the root cause of my problem. The legacy key was not able to be processed correctly by the Mac RDC client. Neither the official 2.1.1 client or the 2.1.2 download.
The Terminal Server system event log was showing the following two errors, 36874 and 36888. The first one contained the best details and said: "An TLS 1.0 connection request was received from a remote client application, but none of the cipher suites
supported by the client application are supported by the server. The SSL connection request has failed." Upon searching the internet for that, I found this page which described the legacy key problem:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlreportingservices/thread/3a2d2eec-000d-432a-abd7-6b965268c671
So, my solution most familiar to me was to use IIS and create the SSL certificate request, process that with my 3rd party CA, export the certificate with private key and then import that certificate into all of my terminal servers. Then using the session
host configuration tool, pick the new certificate and the problem was now solved.

Problems with SQLCMD prompt SQL Express 2008

Hi All
Can someone help me please?
ive just got a new machine and not had this problem before, at one point the error which appeared briefly before the command prompt window disappeared said it was the namepipe, so i enabled this, that didnt work so i uninstalled, and reinstalled SQL Server 2005.
The next error message i received when the command prompt was closing was (in brief)
HRESULT 0xFFFFFFF Level 16, State 1
an error occurred whilst establishing a connection to the server
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft Native Client : Login timeout expired.
I have just updated to sql server 2008 and the same thing happened. I cant paste into the SQLCMD window and I havent got a 1> command prompt.
I tried to drop down into dos prompt and it wouldn't accept it said "the filename, directory name or volume syntax is incorrect".
I turned on iis, ive tried everything I can think of, i have come to the conclusion it must be something to do with the version of Windows Vista Home Premium I am running, I haven't had any problems on any other machines XP or Vista.
Any help would be gratefully accepted.
Cheers
sgblank

You haven't supplied an authentication context for your connection so you can't connect and it times out. Try the following at a command prompt:
Code SnippetSqlCML -S "machine-name\SQLEXPRESS" -E
This will log in using Windows Authentication.
