Some user cannot save Dashboard Prompt Selections OBIEE

We are having issue with some users cannot able save dashboard prompt selections of themselves, even though the group they belong to has rights to it.
This issue happens only for some users, it works fine for other users. They all belong to the same group.
Access privilege on the Saved Selections is set for "Everyone".
Any help will be great appreciated

Verify if the 'My folders' for each user has been enabled or not. Usually , if 'My Folders' is disabled for that user there would'nt be any "_selections" folder created in the individual user catalog folder. Once the "My Folders" is enabled for that user via Manage Previlages , the users should be able to save the dashboard prompt selection 'for themselves and also for other too'.All the selections by the user would be saved to this folder.

How to realize this reqirement in the dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10G?

Hi,
I have a new query about dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10g..
All below is needed to Operator in the dashboard prompt.
We have 4 columns, 4 columns using multi-select type need to constrain together and need to show value which is related with product..
e.g.
Now I display "REGION" column using multi-select in Control, and I need to show data which product name is not null. After I add "where product name is not null" in the SQL results in Show, then I cannot use the Constrain box.. and I cannot set any variable if I using multi-select type..
So anybody have any idea about this?
Your reply will be highly appreciate..

Cascade dashboard prompts in OBIEE 10.1.3.4

Hi,
Is there any concept of Cascade dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
I have a requirement as described below -
Start date and End date dashboard prompts. (Calendar) - Results of Start Date and End Date selected are captured in the Presentation Variables Startdt, Enddt respectively.
Promotions dashboard prompt (multi select) - This Prompt should show the results from the SQL Query -
SELECT "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."National Promotion" FROM "SPDM" where "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."NP Status"='Active' and "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."NP Region"='Canada' and "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."NP Type"='National' and "- Calendar".Date BETWEEN DATE '@{Startdt}{06/28/2010}' AND DATE '@{Enddt}{12/31/2010}'
But the results are not populating in the Promotions Prompt. Can anyone help me in fixing this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sri

Hi
This is a known OBIEE bug.
Please refer http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/presentation_variable_initialization
With a Multi Select dashboard prompt
You cannot set a Presentation Variable in a Multi Select dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10g. This is expected behavior. OBIEE 10g is working as designed. A Presentation variable can assume a single value. Because of that, presentation variables are not available when using multi select prompts. OBIEE 11g will introduce the ability to set Presentation Variables when using multi select prompts. In 10g you can try as a workaround using more than 1 prompt.
I don't more work arounds than listed here:
http://obiee-blog.info/answers/multiselect-prompt-presentation-variable/
But, these work arounds might not suffice your issue.
Please let me know if you come up with a better solution.
Good Luck.

How do i create a form in live cycle E4 that i can save as a PDF that the user cannot save over?

How do i create a form in live cycle E4 that i can save as a PDF that the user cannot save over?

You can't. If the file is made read-only via the file system, the user will prompted to save as a new file if they attempt to save.

Some Users cannot Open Workflow Approval Task

We have a SPD workflow published to our production site and it includes a 'Start Approval Process' task which involves a number of users (determined by a lookup to another list) this worked brilliantly until we republished the workflow with some minor changes,
none of which were to this particular approval task. Now we are seeing some strange behaviours. When some users click the task to approve they are seeing 'This from cannot be opened in a browser, To open this form use Microsoft Infopath'. Now strangely it's
only certain users, if you're a site collection admin you never have this error. So if a user previously had the error and i then add them to the site collection administrators list the error goes away and they can complete the task.
Obviously not a solution! giving users full control permissions on the task list or task item doesnt fix the error either. The same workflow on our UAT works without any issues. The task forms in SPD have not been customised either. Its a SP2010 Standard
farm with no infopath services obviously. Bizarrely there are some users with only Contribute rights to the task list who can open approve tasks, so it's looking like a permissions issue to me but I'm at a loss to find a fix. I've tried totally removing
the worklows and republishing, regenerating the .xsn task forms in SPD by deleting them and republishing, removing and re-adding the task related content types to site, Changing the Approval Task settings 'only allow users to edit their tasks...' to false
and then back to true, the works, but to no avail.
Anybody any ideas?
TIA
Chris

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that Some Users cannot Open Workflow Approval Task.
I recommend that you can create a new list and workflow to check whether it works.
Then use the user who get the error to open task.
If he can open the task in the brower, the issue is related to the older list.
Then you can use the new created list and assgin the task.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

Resetting Selection from a Multi-Select Dashboard Prompt in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I have a dashboard prompt, containing 3 columns which all are set to allow multi selection and default value is all values.
In 10g, after choosing some values in one of the prompt and clicking Go button, I can manually remove all my selection to reset it back to the default value (which is all values).
In 11g, however, I am not able to find how to do it. The reset button doesn't reset back to the default value (which is all values). So what I have to do is to use the "Clear All Customization", which will clear all my selection for all the prompts.
Any suggestion on how to do this? Thanks in advance!

Hi Deepak, actually I don't need any script to do that in 10g.
It's a built in feature in 10g. If you remember, for multiselect prompt in 10, we will click the "..." button to show the box for value selection. Then we can move values from left box to the right to include them, or vice versa to not include them. So by moving the values from right box to the left, I essentially revert to default value which mean all values will be shown.
In 11g, this box is not shown anymore, instead we are checking the values one by one from a drop down list.
Any suggestion? Thanks.

Issue in Dashboard Prompt of OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I had recently migrated from OBIEE 10g to OBIEE 11g.
I had found that there are lot of things which were working on OBIEE 10g are not working in OBIEE 11g.
For Eg:
I have scenario where i have 2 dashboards with different dashboard prompts.
- *1st Dashboard*: I have prompt with 4 columns Year, Month, Qtr and Week. I can filter the data based on the selection of prompt.i.e Summary Report showing all KPIs and when clicked on the any of the KPI it goes to Below report which shows the graphical view of past weeks data.
- Report: Here i show all the week Ids in the Graph format and when clicked on the any week id it navigates to 2nd Dashboard(below) with appropriate week populated in the prompt and show the detailed records.
- *2nd Dashboard*: I have prompt with 5 columns Year, Month, Qtr, Week and Day of the Week with some detailed report. Here the only Week Id should be pre populated and show data based on the week id selection in the above report.
The issue here in OBIEE 11g is, The month Id which was selected in 1st Dashboard prompt is also getting pre populated into the 2nd dashboard prompt. Which should not happen.
Note: This was working fine in OBIEE 10g.
Is there any way to fix this issue in OBIEE 11g.
Regards
Shyam

Hi Bala,
Thank you for your response.
I had tried that and resolved my problem but it was impacting other reports i.e
I have other reports in 1st Dashboard with different tabs, Here i want the prompt value to be persisted across the reports in same dashboard so that when i go to other tab with in same dashboard the prompt value should be pre-populated and the data should be filtered against that.
Now if i change the scope to page then i will be loosing this functionality.
It was working on OBIEE 10g and i lost this after migrating to OBIEE 11g.
Can you please help me in this regard.
Regards
Shyam

Dashboard Prompts in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I had a requirement:
In my dashboard page , prompts are YEAR , QUARTER , MONTH , PRODUCT NAME , ORDER NAME .
Now when i select YEAR = 2010 , then Quarter should display values related to 2010 .
If i select Quarter = 2010 Q1 then month should display only related values.
which is like creating dependency between the dashboard prompts.
Can some one please help me in this issue .

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

For example, first I need to display a prompt for Country, if the user selects a value, the show a prompt for State, and if a user selects a value for this then show the prompt for city. I need to implement this in 11g. I read previous posts where they say make use of guided navigation, however I do not find this inn 11g.
Any help on this will be great,

Limiting dashboard prompt selection to max two selections at a time

Hello Experts
Is there a way that i can limit my state dashboard prompt to max two selections at a time. As you know i have the option to choose multi selection which doesn't limit my selection. Any advise.
Thanks

RaviHey, Ravi. I see that you responded to the unanswered questions. Thanks. Since you did, there is no need to point out which ones. My point is simply that we all use this forum with the attitude of gratefulness, meaning, when we receive help, it is someone taking time out to do it... for free. Thank you for your prompt response! Here's my solution for what you are trying to achieve:
1) Keep your multi-select prompt for your States and the one for your "National" prompt.
2) Now build a small report on your using the States column and a dummy column set to RCOUNT(1).
3) Put a filter on the RCOUNT column "greater than" 2 and an "Is Prompted" filter on the states column.
What this report will do is return rows when the number of selections from the multi-select prompt is 2 or less. It will return no rows if more than two states are selected. (If you insist on 2 states for comparions, set the filter operand to "equal to/is in.")
4) In your Dashboard, put a section in it along with the main report.
5) Click on Section Properties>Guided Navigation and point to the small report, to display the section when "the request returns rows."
6) Put another Section in the Dashboard and add a Text Object.
7) Again, click on Section Properties>Guided Navigation and point to the small report, but this time, "when the request returns no rows."
8) In the Text object, enter something like, "To properly view this report, you must select only two(2) states in the multi-select prompt. Please try again."
There you go. If the user selects more than two states, the report section will be hidden and the text will appear instructing the user to "try again." When the user selects only two states, the report will display properly.

Users cannot save a Power View report to thier One Drive Site

I have users that have only access to a sub site where public BI reports are kept.   They want to open a public report, modify it and then save it on their personal sharepoint site.   The problem is when I open a power view report then
edit it then do a save as it does not have the "Sites" option in the list to click on so they can then click on the Social site and save it to their site. Instead it only has the Subsite. Example power users can see this
Sites
   http://companyportal
    BusinessIntelligenceCenter (site)
       SalesBI (site)
          Reports (folder)
             Public folder (folder)
The users in question only see Sales BI and down. With power users we save reports to our personal sharepoint by clicking on sites and then selecting as example
http://companysocial/personal/ken_craig site. then drilling down to where to save it. I the save as dialog box it does not allow typing in it and does not allow you to select sites.
How to get Sites in the list so they can save reports and other docs to their personal sharepoint site.
Ken Craig

Wendy,
I am sure it is permissions but that is my questions how do I give the correct permissions so they can do this. Again I do not want these users to be able to save anything on the subsite. I want them to be able to save things on their own personal
site (onedrive).
I have added a screen shot 1 of the Save AS window I receive and others who are power users. The "Sites" is the top menu item I have in this window. When I click on sites (power users) I can see things like
http://eagleviewsocial which is how I would get to my personal site (one drive). Screen shot 2.
The power users have "Visitors" permissions on the Business INtelligence Center site. They then have Members permissions on the subsite like Client Relations BI or Sales BI depending on the group they are in.
My goal is to give power user the ability to make reports on their BI sub Site (Sales BI as example) and then Read ability on the top level site Business Intelligence Center.   The second group of people and majority will have Visitor or read only
permissions on their group sub site only (Sales BI as example). They will not be able to see the top level site Business INtelligence Center.
IN all cases I want them to be able to save reports (their own customer versions) to their own sites (One drive). This way we do not clutter production sites with individual reports.

Some users cannot "see" broadcast Public Access SSID but can all others...

I've had 4 users in the last 3 days who've reported not being able to see our broadcast "public access" wifi SSID. Numerous users (even in same area, attached to same AP) can see it - however some cannot. The do see all of the other broadcast SSIDs, just not the public. The public is open and broadcast with security enabled. Does anyone know if this is a client issue - possible with a recent AV or MS security update? ("protecting" clients from unsecured networks by not displaying them?)

If you notice that at a given time some users can and other can't see the ssid, it almost points to the client side. Compare drivers from the two clients and see if the driver versions are the same or old.

Users cannot save Acrobat forms

I've run into a stumbing block with Acrobat 8 Pro and forms.
I have a PDF to which form fields have been added, and in one area, even tallies price totals (it is an advertising contract). Dates format correctly, all works fine. If I send the finished form to another computer running Acrobat Pro (either 7 or 8), I can enter all fields, and save the form. But, if I send it to a user who only has Acrobat Reader, they can enter text in the fields, but cannot save the form. Right now, I have no security or access permissions on the form at all.
Basically, I want the form to work like the tax forms available on the IRS site--that a user can download it, enter the text, save it for their records, and either be able to e-mail it back to us, or to print and fax it.
Is there anything else I need to do?

I would use the DISTRIBUTE option under the FORMS menu since it not only
Reader Enables the PDF but also prepares a response file for collecting
the data. One very, very cool thing - Acrobat 9 can now also collect all
forms responses via Acrobat.com so you can log-in, filter the data,
export to XML / CSV and keep everything in the acrobat.com cloud
