Seperate Subject area for Dashboard Prompts

Hi,
Is there any way by which we can create seperate subject areas for OBIEE dashboard prompt only??
Thanks

Hi,
Yes we can create separate subject areas for dashboard prompt's alone. Here is a case
Say we need to create a constraint enabled prompt in our dashboard. So we bring in two dimension columns into the prompt.
When we run the prompt, the queries across these two dimensions go through a fact table (Because the only way two different dimensions can be joined is through a fact . This fact table is chosen by BI Server intelligently at run time and that can be set through Implicit Fact column also though). In this case there is a chance that some of the dimension rows might get skipped in the constrained prompt as all of the records might not be present in the fact table.
To mitigate this issue, we might want to create a separate subject area for dashboard prompts alone (using some fact less fact or by having a surrogate key in the 2nd dimension table etc).
Hope I am clear :)
Thank you,
Dhar

  • Is it possible to hide a Subject area for user and still make dashboards

    Hi,
    I have requirement like i need to hide Subject Area for perticular user but still i need to allow him to run dashboard Reports developed on that hiding subject area.
    means 'User should not see the Subject area but he shoud be able to run reports'.
    is it possible in any way..?
    Any Help appreciated..
    Thank You,
    Anil Kumar

    Hi,
    Try this one out
    1) Create a new dashboard based on some other presentation catalog lets say p1.
    2) Drag drop reports from required presentation catalog lets say p2 onto this dashboard.
    3) Go to settings>Administration>manage presentation catalog and remove access from p2.
    4) Give read only permission on dashboard created. It will make sure that you don't get edit dashboard option for that page.
    In this way he won't be able to see p2 catalog in answers and still be able to access some reports on dashboard.

  • Default width for dashboard prompts

    Hi:
    Does anyone know how to set the default width for dashboard prompts? Is there an XML file that contains this value?
    Thanks.

    During creation of prompts you can set additional format just check available icon on that layout. If it is 10g just look at above the heading 'Dashboard Prompt'.

  • OBIEE 11g: Searching Subject Area for measure names in Answers

    Hello,
    I have installed OBIEE 11g SampleApp 825 and just exploring the provided set of dashboards.
    From the samples, I am performing following steps:
    - I selected Edit Dashboard (for 2.1 Simple Demo Dashboard)
    - For Column 2, in the Master Detail 1 Compound View, I did Edit Analysis
    - which took me into the Answers design interface with 4 tabs (Criteria, Results, Prompts, Adv).
    In the Criteria tab, there is the Subject Area pane on the left where it shows the Subject Area this Answers report is built on and a bunch of Folders like Time, Products, Base Facts etc.
    Beside the Subject Area pane, is the Selected Columns pane where you drop fields from the folders.
    This particular analysis (Product Line Analysis) has three columns: Revenue Analysis, Products Hierarchy and T05 Per Name Year.
    Now, I want to find the folder to which the Revenue Analysis measure belongs. So, I started expanding each node/folder in the Subject Area pane and visually searching for "Revenue Analysis"....cannot find it!
    How to determine which Subject Area folder a field on the Analysis belongs to? In Oracle Discoverer, only the Folders from which fields are selected are "enabled" so it's easy to navigate straight to that folder. Or again, in Discoverer, you can actually search for a particular field name and it will return all folders that have that field name pattern. While the Search feature on the top row is useful in finding which Analysis/Report match a string, it does not help in identifying relevant Subject Area Folder fields that match a pattern.
    Is something similar available in Answers/OBIEE 11g?
    Thanks,
    Manish

    Again answering part of my own question...It was staring me right in the eye and I couldn't see it:-)...When you have a column in the Selected Columns pane, it's source is right there above the field name. If there is no source folder listed, then it might mean it's a formula. For example in my case, the Products Hierarchy column has the word Product above it...that's the folder it belongs to.
    Good. But, the follow-on question still remains, how to search for folders containing a particular string, to find say all folders that have columns like %Margin%?

  • Problem while passing parameters for dashboard prompts in URL

    Hi,
    We have created a dashboard on OBI which has some dashboard prompts. We have a requirement that we shall open the dashboard from an external application. We are doing this by invoking an URL. We want the dashboard to turn with prompts already being applied.
    I was trying to open the dashboard with the following URL
    http://<servername:port>/analytics/saw.dll?Go&PortalPath=/shared/Procurement%20and%20Spend/_portal/Supplier%20Performance&Page=Overview
    But when I use the above Go URL the dashboard is not coming up. It shows the following error
         No Columns
         The request cannot be performed because it contains no columns.
    When I use the following URL(which has the keyword 'Dashboard' not 'Go') the Dashboard is coming up fine
    http://<servername:port>/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=/shared/Procurement%20and%20Spend/_portal/Supplier%20Performance&Page=Overview
    There are dashboard prompt defined in dashboard. When I try to send the filter value via URL(given below) it is not working. I just see the Dashboard coming up.
    http://<servername:port>/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&NQUser=Administrator&NQPassword=SADMIN&PortalPath=/shared/Procurement%20and%20Spend/_portal/Supplier%20Performance&Page=Overview&P0=1&P1=eq&P2=Supplier."Supplier%20Name"&P3=1+AccessMicron
    when we use the keyword Dashboard in the URL , can we pass the parameter for the dashboard proimpt ..? If we can do that .. how to do that ..? Is it the same manner that we do for Go URL. ..?
    Please let me know if you need any more information on this.
    Thanks in advance for your time,
    Raj Kumar

    Hi Raj,
    Raghu is correct, you need the Action=Navigate to make prompts work, otherwise you get move to the target dashboard without prompts.
    I think you figured it out your self, but the ?Go is for Answer Requests and ?Dashboard is for navigating to dashboards.
    I would also recommend using col1="COLUMN_NAME" and val1=value syntax instead of the P0,P1, etc, etc. It's a little easier to read and implement.
    Try this:
    http://<servername:port>/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&Action=Navigate&NQUser=Administrator&NQPassword=SADMIN&PortalPath=/shared/Procurement%20and%20Spend/_portal/Supplier%20Performance&Page=Overview&col1=%22Supplier%22.%22Supplier%20Name%22&val1=1+AccessMicron
    Good luck!
    Best regards,

  • How to retain the presentation variable values for Dashboard Prompt

    I've a dashboard prompt with date and two other drop down field, with default value as yesterday's date set for date and All Values set for other two drop down list. Presentation Variables are D1, P1 and P2 respectivilly
    I'm using GO URL from "Report A" and passing presentation variable to navigate to other report (Report B) that works fine. eg:
    '<a href = saw.dll?GO&path=/shared/Reports/ABC/ReportB&Action=Navigate&p0=1&p1=eq&p2="-%20Time"."Next%20Day"&p3=@{d1}>Test</a>'
    From Report B I'm using Dashoard URL to go back to Previous Report like:
    <div class="XUIPromptEntry minibuttonOn">
    Return to Previous Screen</div>
    This also works fine.
    My problem is that, when users selects different values in the Main dashboard prompt for date and other other two drop down and navigates to other report (Report B), and from Report B, when user returns to previous screen (Main Dashboard), Prompts values gets refreshed to original default values.
    Is there any way to retain the values of presentation variable in dashboard Prompt when I return to main dashboard from Report B?
    I'd appreciate your help.
    Thanks

    Change your dashboard url include the column and column value for the date column sample shown below,
    [a href=saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=/shared/sample/_portal&page=pagename&Action=Navigate&col1=Dim.Date&val1=@1>Return to Previous Screen[/a>
    In my second report Date is the first column so I referenced it's value as @1 in the dashboard URL
    note: replace [ with <

  • Firefox not showing multiple subject areas for OBIEE source

    Creating a new data set using the Oracle BI EE source. The dropdown list of subject areas won't drop down in Firefox, so I can't select any subject area other than the first one. It works properly in IE.
    Anybody else noticed this?
    OBIEE 11.1.1.6.9 with Firefox 18.0.2 or 21.0.

    You should try both Complex folders as well as custom folders and see which gives you better performance. Discoverer SQL optimizations for example apply only on Complex folders and not on simple folders.
    If you define the joins between the two tables, you can still use items from them in your Discoverer report without having to create a complex folder on them.
    And finally, you can always create a view or materialized view and use that MV in your Discoverer query.

  • Subject Area for GL

    Hi,
    As far as I understand for BI Apps Fin implementation on top of EBS there are three parts: AP, AR and GL.
    Witch are the corresponding subject areas that should be executed in order to obtain GL information?
    For AP I suppose the corresponding subject area is Financials - Payables and for AR Financials - Receivables. Please correct me if I'm wrong...
    Thanks,
    I.

    Hi,
    To extract all finantials information you should include the following subject areas in the same execution plan:

    "Financials - Receivables"
    "Financials - General Ledger"
    "Financials - Budgets"
    "Financials - Cost of Goods"

  • Creating Tabs for Dashboard Prompts

    Hi Experts
    I currently have two dashboard prompts on 1 page
    1) By Year
    2) By Finanical Year
    The user should only be allowed to use one prompt (at one given point) , therefore the other would be an alternative.
    Is there a way of creating tabs 2 within the page to display each of the dashboard prompts, so when one is in use the other is hidden
    This is becasue both these prompts should not be used together
    Please can you help on how to achieve this

    Hi,
    You can first Create Sub Report by using Presentation Variable and in prompt also you have to use the same Presentation Variable. Then you can use Guided Navigation in the Prompt (By Year or By financial Year) by browsing the Path of that Sub Report.

  • Calculations in Page /Dashboard Prompts  in OBIEE doesnt work for me .

    Hi ,

The report is coming good. Now I have a business requirement that the groupings such as 1-30 , 31-60 , 61-90 , and 90+ should be given in dashboard prompt . I could create 1-30 , 31-60 , 61-90 but 90+ ( 91-180, 181-360 , 360+) prompt is not working as I tried to concat these three groupings and iam getting the error message as " Un resolved column error , Concat Function does not support." and other thing when i tried to create a calcualted % prompt even that is giving me error message as " Unresolved colum.

How to create a calculation for page/Dashbaord Prompts ...I tried using the sql too but still it gives the error.
    Please help
    Thankyou
    Karthik

    In your dashboard prompt properties you need to tick the 'Constrain' box for all the columns that you want be constrained by the other choices, e.g Year, Quarter, Month.
    Only tick Product Name / Order Name if you want these to be constrained also but bear in mind it could cause a performance delay if you are having to join tables to get the constrain.
    Hope this helps,
    Regards
