Setting Up user Preferences

Hi Can some one please tell me how to set up particular user preferences for their dashboards.. and also how to remove preferences. if there are any.
Thanks in advance...

The easiest way is to add a date prompt to your dashboard off course.
But if you want to have strict filters, like the last 10 days or the last 30 days, you should start with creating repository variables, which calculates these days.
Then, if you want to have a dashboard prompt with two options: last 10 days, or last 30 days, you need to do some more hand work. I think you then need to create something like described in this article: http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2009/04/obiee-dynamic-prompt-content.html.
But for some reason I think you're new to OBIEE and then this might be a bit to complex.
Regards,
Stijn

How to set default User preferences in Analyzer for all users

How to set default User preferences in Analyzer for all users Hi, I would like to set some settings in Analyzer as default for all users. For example: 1. Display | Char 2. right mouse click on char | Chart Properties 3. Axes tab 4. "Format: Currency" i would like to change to "Format: Number". How to set default values to all users? Is this possible? Thanks, Grofaty

I'm pretty sure higher access superceedes, so you could set up a group with no actual access, just to get the preferences working, then their individual security will dictate what they can do. I haven't tested this fully, but I beleive this is how it will work. As far as setting the preferences, go into the admin console and right click on the group, then select Preferences. To apply the group preferences to a user, add the user to the group, then right click on the user, select preferences and from the upper left corner, use the drop down to select the active preference, in this case, it will be the group you created and added them to.

Setting up user preferences in web analysis

From an admin perspective does anybody know how to setup preferences for a user/group in WA? I want to establish the users prefs, not them. Ideally, I would like to setup a group/shared preference and then put users in that group/share and have the user preferences point to the group/share preferences. As an admin i can repoint the user prefs to the group/share prefs. I did this in the web analyzer 7.2 but i don't know how to do this in system 9. I'm guessing i would do this in Shared Services??

FYI...
I am getting closer with this one. Shared services is the key. I set the startup page for WA in SS under projects. Users are seeing the WA document but i need for them to repoint their preferences to a shared preference under <Profiles>. My problem is the users don't see the shared pref file under the <Profiles> folder. As an admin I see the file. I suspect it has to do with SS provisioning but based on the provisioning for the users i thought they would see the shared pref file. Does anybody have any knowledge on pushing out shared preferences to users?

User Preferences setting in R12

Hi All,
We have upgraded from 11.5.10 to 12.1.3.
I have a doubt in user preferences setup in R12. For Ex.,In 11i, we have the Incentive Compensation Super User responsibility, where we used to set the preferences to restrict the number of records, set the language, etc (Navigation: Incentive Compensation Super User --> Profiles), so that the user can set their preferences. But in R12, this responsibility is obsolete and is has been replaced with the Compensation Manager responsibility. When I was looking for the preferences settings (to view certain number of rows in a page, to set the language) in Compensation Manager responsibility, I was not able to find it.
Any pointers on setting the user preferences in R12. Is there any profile option which controls this in R12?.
Please give some inputs if you have come across any
Regards,
Mohan

Hi!

How to globally set user preferences in Infoview

We desire the ability to globally set the user preferences in Infoview. I've seen references to a macro or program but have been unable to locate it.
Can someone either post a new link or point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Kevin

Ok guys, found it... (on my XI 3.0 machine... XI 2.0 is similar)
\Business Objects\Performance Management xx.x\setup directory..
prefsCopyUtil.jar and using the PrefsCopyUtil.properties file...
1) Ensure that the following files are in the same folder, for example or example, C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Performance Management 11.5\setup:
u2022 prefsCopyUtil.jar
u2022 cecore.jar
u2022 celib.jar
u2022 ceplugins.jar
u2022 cesession.jar
u2022 corbaidl.jar
u2022 ebus405.jar
2) Set up a PrefsCopyUtil.properties file with the settings you want to use. Run "java -jar prefsCopyUtil.jar PROPFILE". Note: Replace PROPFILE with the path of the properties file with the settings you want to use.
Comand Example
cd "\Program Files\Business Objects\Performance Management 11.5\setup"
java -jar prefsCopyUtil.jar PrefsCopyUtil.properties
Example of properties file:
                   Use                                                         Example
# Indicates the CMS to use                       CMS=van-r-01-ab
# Administrator user's password.               AdminPassword=
# User to copy preferences from.               SourceUser=administrator
# All users in this group will have               TargetGroup=TestTarget
their preferences changed to be
a copy of the Source User's
preferences.

Set user preference Locale

Dear all,
I would like to set user preferences locale through a Java program.
It seems that language locale is not part of the desktopsettings and I've not been able to find out what key to use with getProfileString (if any).
Could you provide me an example of how to set the user preferences locale language?
Best regards,
Francesco

You can use "SI_LOCALE" as an argument to getProfileString() to retrieve a user's locale.

Changing Default user Preferences in Workspace

I am using HFM 9.3.1. Each time I set up a new user I have to get them to log in, and go through the following routine..
Go to File>Preferences. Then Select Financial Reporting on the left side of the preferences window. Under the Preview heading on the screen are two radio buttons for On and Off. Select On and click OK.
Does anyone know how to change the default setting on this Preference to On?

From the workspace administrators manual, the directions are:
Assigning Reporting and Analysis Default Preferences
User Management Console enables users with Provisioning Manager and Explorer roles to set
the default folder, new document folder, and start page application preferences for users and
groups. Individual and group preferences have precedence over default preferences.
For default preferences to succeed, users and groups must have the roles and permissions
necessary to access specified folders and interface elements.
Provisioning Manager is a Shared Services role that enables you to provisions users and groups
to applications. It is also required for setting default user preferences for Reporting and Analysis.
For more information, see the Hyperion Security Guide.
➤ To assign default preferences for Reporting and Analysis:
1 Select Navigate > Administer > User Management.
2 Log on to User Management Console with a user name provisioned with Provisioning Manager and Explorer
roles.
3 Expand the Projects node until a Reporting and Analysis application is displayed.
4 Right-click the application name and select Assign Preferences.A three-step wizard is displayed in the Process bar.
5 For step 1 of the Wizard, Select Users, select Available Users or Available Groups.
6 From the left panel, select user names or group names and click the right arrow.
To select consecutive names, select the first name, press and hold down Shift, and select the last
name. To select names that are not consecutive, press and hold down Ctrl, and select each item.
Use Add All to select all names.
7 Repeat steps 5 and 6 to select a combination of users and groups.
8 When all user and group names are displayed in Selected Users and Groups, click Next.
9 For step 2 of the Wizard, Manage Preferences, specify these default preferences for the selected users and
groups:
Managing Users 41
● Default Folder—Repository location of the default folder.
● New Document Folder—Default folder in which the new document wizard searches for
valid data sources, that is, Web Analysis database connection files and Interactive Reporting
documents.
● Start Page—Reporting and Analysis interface displayed after logging on. Select None,
Explore, Document, Favorite, or Scorecard.
If you select Explore or Document for Start Page, you must specify a repository location.
10 When all preferences are specified, click Next.
11 For step 3 of the Wizard, Finish, choose between three tasks:
● To configure options for another application, select one from the View pane.
● To change preferences for currently selected users and groups, click Back.
● To specify another set of users and groups and set their preferences, click Continue.

I've read so far falls far short of acceptability - the manuals have one or two sentences of "aims" at
the start of a section followed by fifty-point lists of "do this, do that" instructions then they round it
off with an audaciously arrogant section at the end along the lines of "Now you know how to do XYZ".
What this lacks is the "essence" of the task - I have to reverse engineer each blooming step to try and
understand what it is meant to achieve.
Have I missed any damn good tutorials out there - there must be some (except those boring Youtube
videos where we watch someone perform the fifty-step routines again without explaining the essence).
Can you tell that I'm frustrated by a lack of documentation; I risk losing your kind support in my early
foray into Apex (help a drowning man please :-)
Thanks again in advance
Mungo :-)Its important to remember that Apex is nothing other than a framework for creating HTML and running web pages. So what used to be triggers are now standard javascript events. Although you will find help on the forum for javascript and maybe some in the documentation, javascript events are standard and not proprietary like Forms triggers were. Its frustrating, but there are a TON of resources (google) on the basics of javascript. For instance instead of when-validate-trigger, you'll probably look at the onblur event to trigger a piece of javascript code to run your validation. You can use onfocus which would be sort of like when-new-item-instance in Forms-speak.

Setting User Preferences With Javascript In Acrobat X

Hi All,
Is there a way thru Javascript to programatically set a value in the User Preferences?
I am trying to create a batch sequence that exports PDFs to HTMLs. In the Acrobat X preferences, there is a conversion option that sets the option of "Run OCR If Needed" to true or false.
Edit --> Preferences --> Convert From PDF --> HTML --> Run OCR if needed (True|False)
Depending on conditions, I need to programtically set the value of this preference during the batch sequence before I export the document to HTML. Is this possible? Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
Thank you,
Teri

There are very few user preferences that can be controlled with JavaScript, and this isn't one of them.

UCM 9.1 7975 Sets can't restrict user preferences

We have CallManger 9.1 installed and just noticed that we can't restrict the settings on the 7975 sets to only User Preferences - all 7 options are showing
Is there a patch with the 9.1 for the 7975 sets?

Mac OS X now uses the clang compiler, and it is possible the package has not been ported to work with the pickier clang compiler.
If your system has gcc, you could maybe try hacking the Makefile to use gcc instead of cc (or maybe export CC=gcc, again assuming you have an older copy of gcc on your system). You might also try specifying some CFLAGS to disable some compiler checks. It is possible you will need to modify the sources to fix obnoxious coding violations that both clang and gcc will not ignore.
Or you might check if one of the Mac OS X package managers have already ported the package: http://MacPorts.org, http://brew.sh, http://www.finkproject.org

Esata vs fw800 user preferences set up for scratch drive

I would like to switch scratch disc capture from a current fw800 setup (and setting) to esata. I purchased a express card34 esata. scratch disc is an external 3.5in 750gb 7200rpm hdd esata
My question is this: should I make an adjustment in user preferences in regards to "limit real-time" Currently i have it set for fw800 at 42mb.
Also my deck is connected via fw800 to scratch drive. Will this present a complication when capturing via capture devise fw800> scatch drive esata> fcp?
I have search the manual and here without any references to this.

Found it. Page 1820 of the FCP 7 user manual (.pdf)
+Limit real-time video to N MB/s: Final Cut Pro uses this number to limit how many video streams can play back from your scratch disk in real time. This is useful when multiple editing systems are sharing the same media (such as a storage area network, or SAN), or when you have a scratch disk with a limited data rate, such as a portable computer hard disk.+
+For example, suppose you try to play a sequence with six simultaneous video tracks containing DV media, and Final Cut Pro warns you that frames were dropped during playback. If you then try to play a sequence with five simultaneous video tracks and no frames are dropped, you know that your scratch disk can handle no more than five simultaneous DV video streams. Since DV has a data rate of 3.6 MB/sec., you can select the “Limit real-time video to” option and enter 18 MB/sec. (5 x 3.6 MB/sec.) in the number field. Now, if a sequence requires a sustained data rate of more than 18 MB/sec. for+
+playback, Final Cut Pro shows a red render bar over this portion of the sequence.+
+Note: Final Cut Pro always allows a single video stream to play, even if the data rate limit you set is below the data rate of a single video stream. For example, if you set the data rate limit to 1 MB/sec., Final Cut Pro would still play back a single DV video stream, even though its data rate is 3.6 MB/sec.+

How to set the portlet preference per user instead of global setting

Hello All
I am using IBM JSR168/ JSF, In my portlet Edit mode I am trying to set a value per user preference , but it always set for all other users even this is just a normal user, I think when an administrator set any preference value then those preferences value will be set for all the users. but in my case it is a normal user has right for the edit mode and hence the preference set by the user in edit mode will be set for his portlet instance only. So why it sets for all the users preference???...... Thanks a lot for your help!!!
here is my code:
///////////portlet.xml//////////
<preference>
 <name>RowsPerPage</name>
 <value>25</value>
 <read-only>false</read-only>
 </preference>/////////////////////////pageCode in edit mode do the save action/////////////////////////
public String doSaveAction(){
 FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 HttpSession session = (HttpSession)ctx.getExternalContext().getSession(false);
 if(session != null) {
 session.setAttribute("save", "save");
 session.setAttribute("Number",Integer.toString(getNumber()));
 return "";
}/////////////////////store the preference value///////
public class MyPortlet extends FacesGenericPortlet {
public void processAction(ActionRequest actionRequest, ActionResponse actionResponse) throws PortletException {
 try{
 //String save1 = actionRequest.getParameter("save");
 String save = (String) actionRequest.getPortletSession().getAttribute("save");
 if (save != null){
 PortletPreferences prefs = actionRequest.getPreferences();
 String number= (String) actionRequest.getPortletSession().getAttribute("Number");
 prefs.setValue("Number", number);
 prefs.store();
 }

Hope someone really can help me for this issue... I just wondering is this related to the user group config in portlet, since the interesting is that this issue is not apply to wpsadmin , but not sure where and how to set other user group that can set the preference no problem??
Thanks for your time !

Get error while setting Folder in user Preferences

When user tries to set Folder in Preferences (InfoView start page) he gets an error "An error has occurred: null". Where is the problem?
Thanks,
Olga

Hi Olga,
He is trying to change Infoview Start page to be a specific folder instead of Home page. I guess user doesnt have rights to change it. if you login as an administrator you can change it and select which folder you wan to view in infoview start page. I guess the user doesnt have those rights to change.
Thanks,
SK.
