Rename or copy a dashboard in OBIEE

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to rename a dashboard? If I open a dashboard > Page Options > Edit Dashboard > Dashboard Properties (in Dashboard Editor), I can only set properties for the Dashboard and delete, rename, and reorder dashboard pages. There seems to be no way to rename the Dashboard itself.
I also tried to go to Dashboard Administration -- here, you can only delete or change access permissions of the dashboards or go to dashboard editor. No option to rename.
I can't seem to find a way to copy a dashboard and then rename it either -- copy may work using the catalog manager, but seems like I won't be able to rename the copied dashboard either.
Can anyone point me to the right direction?
Thanks!
KM

I have successfully created a new dashboard and copied all pages from an existing one to the new one. I tried to do the same thing by creating a new folder and then copying an existing dashboard folder into the new one (assuming I can get all the pages) and it resulted in all my dashboards disappearing. I can still see them all unde _portal, and I didnt move anything (just copy).  I later deleted my new folder and everything is back to normal.  Any idea why this happened?  I dont recall changing any security setting, or deleting or moving anything..simply a copy.  Any ideas are appreciated.

  • How to hide a dashboard in OBIEE 11g?

    Hi All,
    How do we hide a complete dashboard in OBIEE 11g? A particular dashboard page can be hidden by going to dashboard properties but there is no option to hide a complete dashboard. Also, in Administration, there is no 'Manage Interactive Dashboard' section like it was there in OBIEE 10g where we could hide a particular dashboard.
    Thanks in Anticipation,
    Karan

    Hi,
    Go to your dashboard page --> there is catalog folder is available here you can restrict hiding dashboard users.
    and dashboard folder under shared folder right click dashboard permission --> No Acess also set that dashboard property as "Hiden"
    Thanks

  • Defining event handlers for renaming, moving, copying and deleting of files.

    Hi every one.
    I had created a tool for InDesign CS6 written using Javascript to manipulate portions of text in nested way by marking them with small non-printing small anchored text frames contains sequenced numbers and storing these portions as snippets in a spicific folder beside the InDesign documents.
    This tool is open source and free of charge, the only this that I want from you (after downloading) as a user to feedback and as a developer to improve it and join me.
    sourceforge.net/projects/livesnippets
    My question is not about this but I want to trace when the user rename, move, copy or delete a file of these snippets or any container folder and interact according to that by reserving the links between snippet files and their instances which interspersed in InDesign documents.
    Thanks.

    Here is an example of using Bridge events… What this scrript will do if you add it to Bridge scripts… is set *all* indesign snippets in the folders you browse to… to be locked/readonly… This means that users will get an extra dialog if they want to delete the file… Finder or Bridge… You can't just rename the file Finder or Bridge… and Bridge's Batch Rename will only function if the user makes copies to new location… You could set this property using the File Object with indesign…
    #target bridge
    onDocLoaded = function( event ) {
        if ( event.object instanceof Document && event.type == 'loaded' ) {
            lockIDSnippets();
            return { handled: true };
    function lockIDSnippets() {
        var i, count, doc, thum;
        doc = app.document;
        count = doc.visibleThumbnailsLength;
        for ( var i = 0; i < count; i++ ) {
            thum = doc.visibleThumbnails[i];
            if ( /\.idms/.test( thum.spec.name ) ) {
                thum.spec.readonly = true;
    // Register event handler
    app.eventHandlers.push( { handler: onDocLoaded } );

  • Need to rename (or copy) workbooks, but retain sharing

    We are moving from Discoverer 4i to 10g. Part of this process involves a new naming convention for workbooks. When I can open the current one and use "Save As" to save it under the new name, but when I do that, any sharing done to the original is not brought over to the new wb.
    Is there a way to rename (or copy) a workbook, without losing the sharing?
    Note: The only two places I see the workbook name in the EUL is in the DOC_NAME column of the EUL4_DOCUMENTS and EUL4_QPP_STATS tables (Discoverer 4i). If I can't use Discoverer itself to do this, would it work to rename workbooks with a SQL script?
    Thanks.
    Mitch

    Hi Mitch
    You are correct. Discoverer has no in-built mechanism for renaming a workbook and using Save As will lose sharing.
    As you have correctly identified, the name of the workbook is only in two places, in EUL4_DOCUMENTS and EUL4_QPP_STATS. Updating the DOC_NAME column, using SQL, in the EUL4_DOCUMENTS will do what you want. The sharing will be retained as that is managed using the DOC_ID which you will not be changing.
    By the way, manually changing or updating the EUL tables using SQL is not recommended by Oracle and could, if not done with care and restraint, cause the EUL not to work. I mention this to discourage you from making other changes.
    Best wishes

    Thanks

    Hi..
    You can rename the dashboard by using catalog manager...
    Login to catalog manager
    Navigate to _Portal* path of particular folder (shared or my folders) till you find.. dashboard name
    Right click on particular dashboard use Smart Rename (ref fix) like option... and edit the name...
    It works...
    for coying also you can do from here... after right-click select copy and proceed further as per your requirement.

  • Copy cell content in OBIEE 11g

    I am unable to copy the cell content from OBI dashboard.
    Is this OBIEE 11g bug? I am using OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0
    Any way to resolve this ??
    Thanks in Advance !!

    Hi,
    This workaround may not be the best but might serve the purpose.
    I selected a cell and created a group for the value. Then I selected that group and viewed it's definition. This showed me a single value (which I wanted to copy). I copied the value and pasted to another application.
    This worked in analysis as well as on dashboard. I could create a group of more than one cell and copy all the values of that new group to paste to another application.
    I then deleted the groups. While using dashboard, I simply clicked 'Back' or 'Return' to remove the groups automatically.

  • 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.

  • Cannot get into 'Dashboard Properties' (OBIEE 11g) using IE 8

    When I enter an OBIEE 11g dashboard (as an Administrator) and click on "*Edit Dashboard*" & then click on "*Dashboard Properties*":
    1) the "*Dashboard Properties*" box pops up but...
    2) only the upper porting of the "*Dashboard Properties*" box displays
    3) the lower portion of the box never displays...it just stays all white. This portion is where the grid that would normally display the list of dashboard pages (where I could choose to hide pages)
    4) at the bottom left-had part of my browser, it says "*(11 items remaining)*"
    5) my browser stays locked like this & the only way to get out of it is to ctrl+alt+del
    Several things to note:
    1) I'm not sure when this started happening, but I noticed it sometime last week. I know in the past I was able to get into the dashboard properties, but now I cannot.
    2) I am on OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0
    3) I am on Win7 32-bit
    4) I am on version IE 8.0.7601.17514
    5) I can run OBIEE in Firefox and edit the dashboard properties just fine. This issue does not seem to exist in Firefox
    6) If I change to "*compatibility view*" in IE 8, I seem to be able to go into the "*Dashboard Propeties*" box just fine...HOWEVER, when I try to go into "*Edit Dashboard*" (while in "*compatibility view*") many of my objects (columns/sections) overlap & are weirdly placed all over the screen.
    7) I have tried modifying the httpd.conf file as per the official Oracle white paper relating to OBIEE 11g in IE8 (Doc ID 1312299.1) and it didn't seem to fix my issue
    8) I have also tried uninstalling & re-installing IE8 but that also did not seem to fix my issue.
    Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, any suggestions on what one might do to fix it?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Good suggestion. I have tried IE 8 and 9 and Firefox with the same results. An error is thrown in IE 8:
    "Message: Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus."
    I believe this is referring to the fact that it cannot move focus to the username text field as the field is not displayed.
    Another note, our steps for upgrade were as follows so not sure if this is part of the problem:
    1. Install 11.1.1.3 OBIEE
    2. Upgrade to 11.1.1.5 OBIEE
    3. Run ua.bat for publisher schema and repository
    4. Now, do not see username/pw at login and thus cannot login

  • Rename "All Choices" in Dashboard Prompts

    Hi All,
    Is there a way where we can rename the "All Choices" in the dashobard prompt to show some other value in the dashboard.
    E.g.
    I want to display months in the dashboard prompt and instead of "All Choices" it should display "Jan-Current Month 2009" .i.e "Jan-Sep 2009" if September is the current month.
    Please note this is just a renamnig as the value would be the same as it was for "All Choices"
    Please let me know if this is possible.
    Regards
    Bhavik

    hi,
    I tried this method, but when we prompt the column it does not do the filtering.
    Original Report:
    Column A Column B Column C
    1 Jan -10 A
    2 Feb -10 B
    3 Jan - 10 C
    After the below said solution implemented.
    Column B Prompt has
    (Jan-Feb-10) : this is what I get instead of 'All Choices' after implementing the sol provided
    Jan -10
    Feb -10
    When the prompt is selected:
    Case 1 : By default (Jan-Feb-10) alternative of 'All Choices'
    The report remains the same
    Column A Column B Column C
    1 Jan -10 A
    2 Feb -10 B
    3 Jan - 10 C
    which is correct.
    Case 2 : when Jan -10 is selected.
    The report becomes
    Column A Column B Column C
    1 Jan -10 A
    2 Jan -10 B
    3 Jan - 10 C
    Which is wrong as only two rows should come u i.e.
    Column A Column B Column C
    1 Jan -10 A
    3 Jan - 10 C
    So Please let me know if we can acheive this.
    Regards,
    Bhavik
