Rename or Copy Dashboard

Hi,
Is there any way to copy or rename a dashboard? I don't find any option to do either of these.
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.
Thanks & Regards

  • 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!

    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.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

  • 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
    Michael

  • Renaming and copying files (Bridge CS3)

    Hi -- Scripting bridge, I am able to copy files using the copyTo(target) function.
    I also can rename files using the Javascript file.rename() function.
    But I am having trouble doing both in concert.
    If I rename before I copy, I lose the reference to the selected thumb, and I cannot copy it.
    I have tried using the Javascript file.copy() function with no success.
    Does anyone have any suggestions how I can approach this problem?
    thanks in advance

    Don't you just need to cancat the folder that you have as target and the thumbs name in a new file object?
    #target bridge
    var thisFolder = Folder.desktop;
    var thisFile = app.document.selections[0];
    if (thisFile.type == 'file') {
         if (thisFile.copyTo(thisFolder)) {
              var newFile = File(thisFolder.fsName + '/' + thisFile.name);
              newFile.rename('SomeNewName');

  • Copy dashboard page

    Hi,
    How to copy a dashboard page,. I'e 4 pages in my dashboard, i just need to copy one of the pages into same dashboard.
    Thanks,
    Malli

    If you are using OBIEE 11g then click on the "Catalog" link in the global header.
    From there navigate to the dashboard folder you wish to copy from and click on that folder. The right-pane will show the dashboard pages.
    Click on More > Copy
    Then go to the dashboard folder you wish to have this new page pasted. Navigate through the folder structure click on the folder in question and from the item icons under the folder table (left of the location label that shows the folder path) click the "Paste" icon.
    Done.
    Cheers,

  • After the resent sys update to Elipsis 7 KitKat, I can no longer add, rename, move, copy, create files or folders to my SD. What's up with that?

    Updated sys to Kit Kat as recommended by Verizon. Now I can no longer add, move, copy, create files or folders to SD card. What's up with that?

    There is no such thing as a stupid question.  With Kitkat you are very limited in what you can do on the sd card, an app can write to its own folder on the sd card only, here is a little more info here How to bypass Android 4.4 (KitKat) external SD write restrictions without root
    You are basically restricted to writing to a single folder per app on the sd card.  The other option is to move things by connecting your device to a computer and using it.

  • Renaming and copying file in scriptask

    Hi All,
    I have created a package in which once the process is over , i want to add today's date to my source file and move it to another folder.
    suppose my source file is Test.xls. i want to change the name of my file to FilePolling.20150224.Test.xls

    Open up your System File Task and go to the expressions tab. Press the elipsis button, select Destination as the property, and use:
    "c:\\myFolder\\FilePolling."+(DT_WSTR, 4) DATEPART("year",GETDATE())+RIGHT("00"+(DT_WSTR, 4) DATEPART("month",GETDATE()),2)+RIGHT("00"+(DT_WSTR, 4) DATEPART("day",GETDATE()),2)+".xls"
    as your value, replacing c:\\myFolder\\ with your actual path. Remember not to use mapped drives, instead use the actual UNC path.

  • Can´t open, rename, copy or delete PDF file

    I have got a problem opening, renaming, moving, copying and even deleting a PDF file with a very long file name. It does not upload either, so I cannot send it to Adobe via the Support form.
    I have now downloaded a PDF repair application, but I get the following error: "The above file name is invalid". It seems the file is corrupted or damaged. I only managed to open it once, after which it stopped working.
    My OS is XP. I use Adobe Reader to open PDF files.
    Can someone tell me how to deal with this file? Thanks.

    You do not need Reader to change the name of a file. If you cannot change the name of a file in Windows XP, then you have major problems that have nothing to do with Reader. You have at a minimum file directory damage, you could have a virus. Reboot your computer, with no applications open try to change the name of the file using Windows' Explorer app.

  • Issue with renaming Dashboard

    Hi Experts,
    i have one strange issue...can anyone help me pls
    i have 4 dashboards.. mydashboard, test1, test2,test3..
    the test1 dashboard contains 10 reports and that reports contains navigation reports also..
    when i renamed the 'test1' dashboard to some other name.. the reports are not displaying...
    there i found one check box ' preserve references old name item ' i checked it. and run the dashboard its working fine the reports are coming but my OLD 'test1' dashboard is still appearing..when i try to delete it its not working...
    kinldy help me...

    Hi,
    I hope you already have back up of catalog. Else, make a back up of catalog.
    Now, in order to change the Dashboard name you use following 2 methods:
    METHOD1: CHANGE DASHBOARD NAME USING ANSWERS ADMIN TAB
    METHOD2: USING CATALOG MANAGER.
    Method2 is more convienent and easy way:
    1. Login into BI Catalog manager. open catalog in offline mode.
    2. Expand, The Tree -> Expand the Shared -> (Now you see you different folders say my dashboard TEST1)-> expand the '_Portal' (Folder)
    3. Make sure it is navigated to the proper Dashboard area '/shared/test1/_portal'
    4. Now, Right click on test1 on the right side window and select 'SMART RENAME'
    5. Rename it to desired name Say 'My New Dashboard'
    6. Go to file -> close catalog.
    7. Restart the services and check the dashboard name.
    Now, you dont find any problem or errors.
    Whereas, in Method1
    1. Login into Presentation services of Bi using 'Administrator'. Go to settings.
    2. Open -> settings -> administrator -> manage presentation catalog.
    3. Check mark 'show hidden items' -> now we are able to navigate to shared folders, group folder under which we created the dashboard.
    4. Click you Shared folder - select '_portal' Folder (this will appear only when we check mark hidden items in the above step)
    5. Now, click on Rename option and change the name.
    6. Click on 'Update'
    7. Click on Finished, and close the window.
    AS per my understanding you have renamed the name but it was not reflected in all the reports thats the reason it preserve references to old name.
    Do, follow the first method. And, try to rename the Dashboard Test2 (alwayz navigate to internal folder _portal and then rename).
    Please, Award Points if this resolves your issue and Close the thread to help others :)   :)

  • Problems copying and renaming web pages

    hello chaps,
    having some difficulties in using the rename function when applying to to existing web pages.
    basically I want to make a copy of a page and then rename it. In the Project tree, I copy, then right click the web pages node and paste. A new file appears with an autogenerated name.
    I then attempt to rename the copy and JSC comes up with the refactoring dialog, which I then apply. However, on the two occassions I have tried this, the references in the JSP file to the new name weren't updated, and the file itself wasn't renamed, I have then had to manually apply edits and change file names which didn't actually work properly anyway (the resulting page had duplicate components)
    I also noted that while there was a new entry in managed-beans.xml for the newly named file, the initial copy still had an entry (which I removed)
    I am using XP for development/ MySQL, logged on as a user with administrator rights.
    I haven't tested this very rigorously, only tried it twice. Both pages contained page fragments.
    Regards, Paul.
    (perhaps an RFE would be to provide a "web page copy" dialog box which asked for the new name and then applied all refactoring automatically)

    Hi Paul,
    I apologise for my previous post
    If you uncheck an option "Preview All Changes" in the 'rename' window and click Next will apply refactoring automatically .
    Hope this is what you are looking for
