Publish dashboard pages 11.1.1.5

Hi, I'm running in to an issue I haven't been able to resolve.
I've created personal dashboard pages that are linked to personal analysis, personal prompts, filters, etc. According to the OBIEE documentation, if I go into one of my personal dashboard pages, I can choose to publish that to a shared dashboard. According to the documentation this should not only publish the dashboard page, but also make shared copies of the personal reports, prompts, filters.
However, when we try that, I'm not seeing that behavior. It does look like it's publishing the dashboard page - but the objects on it are still pointing at my personal stuff - they haven't been copied in to the shared location anywhere.
Does anyone have a work around for this?
Thanks,
Scott

No errors being throw. Yes, I've followed what I can find of Oracle documentation, which states (page 4-17 of the OBIEE 11.1.1.5 Users Guide):
Publishing Dashboard Pages
You can publish a dashboard page to a shared dashboard location so that you can
share the page with others.
When you publish a dashboard page:
■ Personal content (such as analyses, prompts, and so on) is copied to a destination
location that you specify and references updated as appropriate.
■ References to shared content are retained.
But I'm completely NOT seeing that personal content is being copied to the destination location....
Thanks,
Scott

BI Publisher report page not getting displayed on ADF

Scenario: OBIEE 11g integration to Webcenter Portal
The Dashboard pages which are developed in Answers are getting displayed correctly to ADF Page.
ISSUE: But a dashboard page with BI Publisher report page displays error 404 on integration to ADF Page via BI Presentation services connection.
This BI Publisher report shows up without any errors on the OBIEE Dashboard Page.

Column Passing between dashboard pages using Column Format- Navigation

I've been put in a tough spot due to an error in BI Publisher which I can't seem to fix and won't be discussing in this post, thus I'm trying to find an OBIEE work around that adheres to the client's heuristics requirements. So OBIEE dev's more experienced than I, lend me your wisdom.
I have a logical layout with two descriptive dimensions, a time dimension and a singular fact table. An explanation of the dashboard pages, their requests, prompts and other objects is below:
Dim 1
- Dim1 Key
- Dim 1 Descr
Dim 2
- Dim 2 Key
- Dim 2 Descr
Dim Date
- Typical Date blah blah
Fact
- Measure 1 (Count of Dim 2 Key)
Dashboard Page 1
- Prompt 1
- Request 1
Request 1
- Columns
     - Dim 1 Descr
     - Measure 1
     - Dim 1 Key (Hidden)
- Filters
- Dim 1 Key is Prompted
- Dim Date is Prompted
- Formatting
     - Dim 1 Descr navigates to Dashboard Page 2
Prompt 1
- Dim Date.Date is Between
Dashboard Page 2
- Prompt 2
- BI Pub Report 1
BI Pub Report 1
- Parameter
     - p_key (takes in Dim 1 Key)
Prompt 2
- Dim 1 Descr is Equal
- Dim 1 Key is Equal - populates presentation var: p_key
So the functionality I'm expecting is that the user starts on Dashboard Page 1 selects a date range from Prompt 1. Selects a row and navigates to Dashboard Page 2 by clicking on a Dim 1 Descr 1 value, which in turn passes the Dim 1 Descr value and the Dim 1 Key value (which is hidden) to Dashboard Page 2.
On Dashboard Page 2, Prompt 2's Dim 1 Descr and Dim 1 Key become the values passed from Dashboard Page 1 and p_key is populated with the value which Prompt 2 Dim 1 Key becomes. Lastly BI Pub Report 1 gets p_key from OBIEE, and runs displaying what it’s supposed to.
Currently everything works, except the passing of Dim 1 Key from Dashboard Page 1 to Dashboard Page 2. The question is, firstly, is it possible to pass Dim 1 Key without it being visible on Request 1 or without using Dim 1 Key as the point of navigation to Dashboard Page 2. If so, what of my above mentioned setup is incorrect? My guess is that I need Dim 1 Key in Prompt 1, but the client is adamant that I leave Prompt 1 alone, so any other options would be great.
I also know that the above is possible with GoUrl or PortalPath but since on the actual request there are multiple Navigation Target options, I'd like to avoid having to resort to GoUrl or PortalPath, but if this is the only method, how can multiple options be given using GoUrl or PortalPath?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Karthick,
Thanks for the updated info. I tried what you suggested and unfortunately still no value passed. It seems hidden via OBIEE format options, hidden via CSS or unhidden the value is only passed if the navigation is set up on that particular field. So if I have two fields in the report and I want to click on Field 1 and pass Field 2, Field 2 will not be passed. I am going to try this on a up to date environment and see if it works, since the client is using a slightly outdated version of OBIEE.
Thanks for the suggestions so far,
Matt

Trouble publishing dashboards

I am attempting to publish dashboards through my Dreamweaver-built web-site. When I preview the site through Dreamweaver using Firefox, I can see the Dashboards.
When I actually go through the web, the Dashboards cannot be seen.
Here is my dashboard-less homepage. There should be two small dashboards on the right hand column above the links. Then when you follow the links, you should be able to see the dashboard very big on a new page.
http://www.otrscorecard.com/index.cfm
Any ideas why the dashboards cannot be seen?

No- there are two Xcelsius dashboards on the right hand side of thr web-page.
Also when you click on a link, another page pops up with a large Xcelsius dashboard displayed.
Everything seems to work when I pre-view the site in Dreamwaever, but not when I view from the web.
Maybe a Dreamweaver problem?

Reg: Dashboard page Name not getting displayed.

Hi
I have created a dashboard Dashboard1 and it has 5 different pages
pg1 thru pg5. I have 5 users USER1,USER2.USER3,USER4 and USER5.
I have assigned each page to a user and all the users have access to Dashboard1
i.e
USER1 pg1 of Dashboard1
USER2 pg2 of Dashboard1
USER3 pg3 of Dashboard1
USER4 pg4 of Dashboard1
USER5 pg5 of Dashboard1
The problem is name of the pages is not displayed once the dashboard is accessed after log on..The report attached to that page is displaying data, but page name on the tab is blank...
Could anybody help me with this information pls..
Thanks in Advance...

Hi,
When a single page is placed on the Dashboard it will not show the page name as it won't show any tab on the Dashboard. This is happening by default.
This case applies to your scenario as you restricting those pages among the users.
To just check, give the permissions to the user1 to view 2 dashboard pages instead of 1. Then you can able to see the page names on the tabs as 2 pages are on the Dashboard for that user.
I am also not aware of displaying the Page name when there is a single page on the dashboard...:(

The publishing settings page does not open when I click on the domain name and the iWeb application will not stay on the dock.

Hello,
I have been trying to help a friend who is having problems publishing her website. (She has done so previously using Mobile me)
There seem to be a couple of things wrong with the application,
1 if I drag the application icon onto the dock, it won't stay there
2 I wanted to change where her site is published to (she has bought a domain name and has a hosting service now) but when I click on the domain name I do not get the "site publishing settings page" so we can't enter the new details. All that comes up is the main page of her website.
I would suggest uninstalling and re-installing Iweb, to see if that clears the problem, but as Iweb came pre-installed with her Imac, I am not sure that we can do this.
Any ideas please?
she's using and imac 24 in (approx 4 years old) and running osx 10.5.8

NO - not correct. Even if you are still using iWeb 08, you can still publish to another host and not MobileMe. You do this by selecting the option 'Publish to a local folder" and this will publish the site to your desktop and you can then use an ftp programme such as Cyberduck to upload your site to your host.
MobileMe will not be here after the end of June, so you will have to find alternative hosting. They are not taking any new subscriptions.
On new Macs, iLife 11 is pre-installed, but only iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand are included, not iWeb and iDVD. The Apple Online store is not selling the boxed version of iLife 11 any longer, so if you want to upgrade to iLife, then you'll have to look online at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk for a boxed set of either iLife 09 or iLife 11. Both contains iWeb 09, which is what you would want.

OBIEE 11g: Subscribe to Agents through Dashboard page?

Hi all,
I have created a set of agents which would deliver personalized content to subscribing users based on their OBIEE username. The agents work great, however I am stuck at finding a simpler way to allow various users to subscribe to said agents.
The standard subscription method is cumbersome: Go to Catalog, browse to where agents are, Click More, select Subscribe. I don't want my users wandering around through a pretty thick catalog only to subscribe to an agent. Chances are they'll wander off, mess up, fail to subscribe or not even bother to try in the first place. What I would rather do is have them go to a dashboard and click on something to subscribe directly, without caring where the agents are located.
A dodgy workaround I have implemented is to put up a link to an URL which is the catalog location of the agents. Users would click on that link and they will see the list of agents, allowing them to subscribe/unsubscribe. Still, I would like to simplify this further, if possible. Any ideas?

Hi All,
I am trying to display ‘help’ section on every dashboard or Create a separate Help Dashboard Page …
Tried using "Link or Image" object option and Uploaded the pdf’s to Help file *(/Shared Folders/Help)* – Let say the PDF Name is Employee_Expenses.pdf
So I am using the URL for link object as
URL= saw.dll?downloadFile&path=%2Fshared%2FHelp%2FEmployee_Expenses.pdf
Image = fmap:Images/help.gif (Do I need to have help.gif in /Shared Folders/Help folder Cause I don’t have it…)
It’s not working – Any Ideas….
Thanks,

Can I publish one page at a time to the ftp when publishing entire site?

I am currently using iweb to manage my website and i changed a number of pages and require to re-publish the entire site. When i go to do this it attempts to bundle all the files together and publish, but the site only allows for 8 connections via ftp. Is there a way that when i publish the entire site that i can publish one page at a time?
Thanks for your help!

Publish your site to a local folder...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
... and upload the files using an FTP application...

That way you can upload individual files and folders - one at a time.

Opening Dashboard Page in New Window While Passing Prompt Values

Hi,
Currently it is not possible to open a dashboard page in a new window AND have the prompt values from a prior page pass to this page. I see one or the other can be accomplished but not both. Is there a way this can be acheived somehow or is there a workaround for this?

You are correct. The "Link or Image" object does not pass the dashboard prompt values, though it allows the destination dashboard to be opened up in a window.
Here is a workaround.
1) Place the link in a "Guided Nav. Link" object and set the destination dashboard and desired report. With the prompt set up correctly (i.e., dashboard scope, set to PV, destination report column filtered to receive the PV), the destination report will be filtered on the prompt as desired.
2) I noticed (and maybe this is why you wish the "new window"), there is no "return" link on the destination report. To fix this, in the destination dashboard, add a Text object to the dashboard. In the properties, paste the code below and make sure to check off "Contains HTML markup." This will produce a "Return" button on the dashboard.
<input type="button" value="Return" onclick="history.back();">
Now, when the user selects the prompt and clicks on the link, the prompt is passed to your second dashboard. When the user wishes to return, he/she can click on the "Return" button and return to the primary dashboard.
HTH,

Link to OBIEE 11g Dashboard Page from a 10g Dashboard Page

Hi all,
Is it possible to place a Link object on a dashboard page (within OBIEE 10g) and have that navigate to an OBIEE 11g dashboard page?
If so, how is that implemented?
Our 11g and 10g environments are on different servers.
For business reasons (and budgets) we are not migrating our entire 10g environment to 11g just yet.
Thanks.

You can use Go URL as long as they are on same network domain [Go URL|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21043_01/bi.1111/e16364/apiwebintegrate.htm#i1005050]

Re: OBIEE 11g Dashboard Page Prompt

Hi all,
We have a Dashboard page in that multiple reports is there and one Region prompt is there with the scope of page level ,
once i gave the filter with that prompt every report is filtered based on that prompt values .
but in that reports for a particular report we were already drill down based on hierarchy and the remaining all reports are in highest level , now we were applies the filter through the prompt the remaining reports are filtered based on prompt value except that report which is in already drill down mode .
Can any body help me out , is it a tool limitation/ i have to do any changes.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi,
The report will react to a prompt only if there is a is promt column in that report. Check if there a is prompt filtered column in the report and remove it.
If you think that column is to be filtered as Is prompted and should not react to the dashboard prompt, then need to check...
Thanks

OBIEE 11g Dashboard page load performance issue

Hi All,
One of my dashboard is taking for 5 to 15 min to load,Once the dashboard is displayed reports are coming fast. Dashboard has 5 pages.
Eg:
When I click on Dashboard -> XXXX Dashboard. It took 5 to 15 min to display the dashboard page. Reports are coming fast once the page is loaded.
Please help me on this.
Regards,
Hari

Cool,
Thank you for sharing the opinions of you.
My English i'snt so good. May not have expressed myself correctly.
In response to my post, I said that "OTHER" point which should also be evaluated is the environment you are using. not that this point is paramount.
Since the OBIEE is generated queries, the evaluation of queries generated and sent the data sources for sure should be evaluated.
thank you guys

OBIEE 11g How to pass variable from one prompt to another prompt in dashboard page.

How to pass variable from one prompt to another prompt in dashboard page.
I have two prompt in dashboard page as below.
Reporttype
prompt: values(Accounting, Operational) Note: values stored as
presentation variable and they are not coming from table.
Date prompt values (Account_date, Operation_date)
Note:values are coming from dim_date table.
Now the task is When user select First
Prompt value “Accounting” Then in the
second prompt should display only Accounting_dates , if user select “operational”
and it should display only operation_dates in second prompt.
In order to solve this issue I made the
first prompt “Reporttype” values(Accounting, Operational) as presentation
values (custom specific values) and default presentation value is accounting.
In second prompt Date are coming from
dim_date table and I selected Sql results as shown below.
SELECT case when '@{Reporttype}'='Accounting'
then "Dates (Receipts)"."Acct Year"
else "Dates (Receipts)"."Ops
Year" End FROM "Receipts"
Issue: Presentation variable value is not
changing in sql when user select “operation” and second prompt always shows
acct year in second prompt.
For testing pupose I kept this presentation
variable in text object of dashboard and values are changing there, but not in
second prompt sql.
Please suggest the solution.

You will want to use the MoveClipLoader class (using its loadClip() and addListener() methods) rather than loadMovie so that you can wait for the file to load before you try to access anything in it. You can create an empty movieclip to load the swf into, and in that way the loaded file can be targeted using the empty movieclip instance name.

Cannot publish 1 page in CS4. Other pages including index.html ok. Error message results.

After many months of no difficulty, I suddenly cannot publish changes to one of my pages (all others work) without getting the error message 'Another instance of Contribute is doing a workflow operation. Do you want to break the workflow and continue.....?' Whether I say yes or no and follow the prompts, it doesn't work. One way lets me exit, the other locks up my computer and I have to 'end task' to get control back. I hoped that the answer to the 'cannot publish index page' thread would help, but I didn't understand because most of this stuff is over my head. The only thing unusual I can dectect is the page name has an # sign after html as in 'name.html#tuition.' The word tuition refers to a pointer on the page. When I switch to edit mode, an asteric * appears after 'html' on the page name. I do not see that on any other page when I edit. I have CS4 version 5. Can anyone help? I don't know how many people there are in India, but I talked to half of them in a 2.5 hour 'session' in which I was transferred in a least 3 complete loops to every department and passing 'go' 3 times before some techie finally said I should email my question in and will get a reply within 3 days. Yeah, right. Worst tech support experience I have had in 10 years.

Hi,
Can you try deleting the Preferences and the Contribute's User Configuration folder. You will lose your website connections, you can recreate them again after relaunching Contribute.
If you have installed Contribute in Mac, go to <Username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe folder and delete Contribute CS4 folder there. Also, go to <Username>/Library/Preferences/ folder and delete the 'Adobe Contribute 5 Preferences' file.
If you have installed Contribute in Windows XP, the Contribute's Configuration folder will be in C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\. Delete the Contribute CS4 folder there. To clear the registry for Contribute, type 'regedit' in the Run window.(Click Start, and click Run, and then type 'regedit' in the text field.) Select HKEY_CURRENT_USER, then Software, then Adobe, then Contribute CS4. Click Delete button. Close the Registry Editor window.
The <username>, I have mentioned above is the name with which you will have logged into the machine.
Now, Relaunch Contribute and connect to your website and try editing the web pages from your website. Can you try this?

How to create hyperlink on a Dashboard page

Hi,
I need to have some text on a Dashboard Page which will be hyperlinked to some request. I am not seeing any option to do that in OBIEE, when i had used Link or Image option i am not able to design the dashboard page as i am not able to format the text and also the alignment, is there any other way i can do that, i just want text that will be hyperlinked and formatted in a way that is appealing. I do not need any columns for any tables.
Thanks,
Amit

try this using portalpath instead of GoUrl,
Create a narrative view with some code like below, which navigate to the dashboard you are refering..
[a href=saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=/shared/Sample/MainDB&page=Index> Main Page </a]
where portalpath refers to path of the dashboard, and page refers to the page name.
In narrative view you enhance the visuality as you want using html...
Thanks,
Vino
