Updating Dashboard pages separately in OBIEE 11g

Hi guys,
I have a requirement to show multiple reports in one dashboard as tabs\pages like page1-for R1, page-2 for R2 (R!&R2 are reports) and these pages were created using different prompts for each report. but, the DB tables are the same.
My problem is:
if i run the report in dashboard on page-1, the prompts and tables are getting updated with the values on page-1 into page-2 also.
i tried by disabling the cache in nqsconfig, purging the cache in admintool, and setting a prefix to disable cache at report level, still no luck.
let me if anyone can help me.
thanks,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
Select Page Options > Edit Dashboard to open the dashboard page in the Dashboard builder, then
Click the Prompt properties icon and select Scope > Page. Scope determines whether the prompt applies to the entire dashboard or just this page.
hope helps u..........
Don't forget to assign points and close the thread if your question is answered.........

Dynamic dashboard page name in obiee 10g

Hi All,
Can we set the dynamic dashboard page name in obiee 10g.
if yes, please give me details about this.
thanx & regards
Prashant

Prashant,
You can't have the page name change dynamically. The only option left is to create duplicate pages with different names and apply object level security based on different grps.

Problem with dashboard prompt initial value (OBIEE 11g)

Hi alli,
I have a problem with dashboard prompt and session variable in OBIEE 11g.
I have declared a session non-system variable which I set/change with dashboard prompt. At login the variable is initialized in initialization block that gets a value from an SQL select statement.
When I change the value in prompt, the session variable changes accordingly, as it should (change is made by calling function NQSSetSessionValue() within javascript function). While I am in my dashboard, cruising around pages the variable stays the same, and when I return to the page that has prompt on it, the correct value is shown. Everything works fine.
The problem occures when I go to Catalog (in presentation services) to create some new Answers. When I return back to the same page in dashboard (which has a prompt), the prompt selected value and session variable are set back to the default value. It looks like the initialization block is executed again.
My prompt is configured like this:
- Choice List Values: SQL Results
- Default selection: Variable Expression (@{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.VariableName']} )
- Set a variable: Presentation Variable
Is there a way to stop the initialization block from executing again? Isn't it logical that the initialization block executes only at login, when the session variable is empty? I don't need it to execute every time i come to the dashboard.
Thanks in advance,
Marko

I tried it in several places but it doesn't work.

anybody please help me.. Urgent..

Hi,
http://www.scribd.com/doc/25775853/Page-Drop-Down
Please download js script above link.
You have a few options to embed the code:
1) You can embed it manually into each page of a dashboard that you want the dropdown. This fast if there is only a small number of pages. But it can be tedious if there are a lot of pages.
2) You can edit the dashboardtemplates.xml file and find a place to inject the script. This would be optimal since it would globally affect the dashboards. Place the custom edited file in the customMesages folder.
3) When using the code, be aware that I setup a threshold variable. On line 5, I set "var threshold = 0;". This is the threshold at which the dropdown will appear. If you only want the drop-down to appear when you have 5 or more pages, then set this value to 5 and that will be accomplished.
Note:- There is no dashboardtemplates.xml file in customMessages. That is what you need to create.
1. Copy the file from C:\OracleBI\web\msgdb\messages and put it in the customMessage folder
2. Go to line 410
3. Right before the final "</HTML>" paste in the code from this link: http://www.scribd.com/doc/26230268/pageDropDown-1-3
4. Save.
5. Bounce all three services.
6. Test
Hope it helps.
Thanks,

Restricting dashboard prompt values in obiee 11g

Hi All,
I have a requirement to restrict the length of the dasboard prompt value to min of # characters.
Please let me know if you have any idea (JScript).
Regards,
Zameer

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg622942%28v=VS.85%29.aspx
Basically, IE9 breaks flash ExternalInterface calls if your flash component is embedded with an object tag with an embed tag fallback, and the object id and embed name is the same.
The easiest workaround is to tell ie9 to render your page in IE8 Standards mode. To do this, insert this in the element:
 <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" >
Otherwise, you might just want to use the object tag only or embed tag only.

Does an evaluation-only install of OBIEE 11g require a database?

I wanted to set up OBIEE 11g on my laptop so that I could start to evaluate it. From numerous blogs, I was led to believe that I first needed to install a database (I installed Oracle 11g), run the RCU utility, and then install OBIEE 11g. I successfully performed these steps, installing everything in one VirtualBox VM. Performance is acceptable but the VM's VDI is 18 GB in size!
After the OBIEE installation, the OBIEE home page automatically launched in a browser. In the Dashboard dropdown there's a Sample Lite QuickStart dashboard. Clicking on that link displays a series of tabs, including a ReadMe tab that states: "You are looking at a OBIEE SampleApp Lite, a simplified version of the OBIEE 11g SampleApp. SampleApp Lite only includes very limited set of basic features examples and sources only from XML static datafiles. SampleApp Lite does not show most of the OBIEE 11g powerful features and capabilities."
IMO, this indicates I didn't necessarily need to install Oracle 11g as a requirement to install OBIEE 11g. Is that the case? If so, what are the steps to install OBIEE 11g without a database? Why do I ask? I need to create another OBIEE 11g VM for a co-worker to evaluate. I'm wondering if I can somehow skip installing the database this time and simply let them evaluate OBIEE 11g by just using the SampleApp Lite dashboard.

Hi,
Installation of OBIEE 11g needs an RCU (and therefor a DB), even, as in your case, you're not using the DB for the SampleApp. Although installation needs an RCU, the RCU doesnt have to be on the same machine, so, while installing your 2nd machine, you can point to the RCU on the first machine. Doing this you don't have to install a seperate DB on the second machine.
Good luck!
PS. I think you can even remove the DB from your first machine afterwards, since I don't think it's being used in your case. But not sure about this, and never done it myself this way..

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.

How to Get My Dashboard as Default Page Instead of Home Page in OBIEE 11G?

Hello Gurus,
I have one requirement where i need to change default page to "My Dashboard" like what we had in OBIEE 10G ?
Rite-now in OBIEE 11G when any user logs in they are directed to "Home" Page, but i want to change the navigation to "My Dashboard" for all user..
I know the option to in My Account and Change the Default dashboard in Preferences , but it's manual way to do it for all end-users.
and the other is to create the PORTALPATH Variable and do it from RPD.
So I am looking to some other way there we can change the navigation path from system file itself...
Thanking You..

Hello David,
Thanks for reply.
Actually I am just concern abt the OBIEE Dashboard page, the link that u have mentioned is for Application Server, where we can manage the multiple Application Portals.
and it also doesn't come with Middleware that we are installing for OBIEE.
so i did get some useful information but not related to my question.
is there any place in EM(Enterprise Manager) or Console(Admin Console) from where we can manage the Default Portal for OBIEE Users?
Thanking You..

Link to OBIEE 11g Dashboard Page from a 10g Dashboard Page

Hi all,
Is it possible to place a Link object on a dashboard page (within OBIEE 10g) and have that navigate to an OBIEE 11g dashboard page?
If so, how is that implemented?
Our 11g and 10g environments are on different servers.
For business reasons (and budgets) we are not migrating our entire 10g environment to 11g just yet.
Thanks.

You can use Go URL as long as they are on same network domain [Go URL|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21043_01/bi.1111/e16364/apiwebintegrate.htm#i1005050]

OBIEE 11g: Subscribe to Agents through Dashboard page?

Hi all,
I have created a set of agents which would deliver personalized content to subscribing users based on their OBIEE username. The agents work great, however I am stuck at finding a simpler way to allow various users to subscribe to said agents.
The standard subscription method is cumbersome: Go to Catalog, browse to where agents are, Click More, select Subscribe. I don't want my users wandering around through a pretty thick catalog only to subscribe to an agent. Chances are they'll wander off, mess up, fail to subscribe or not even bother to try in the first place. What I would rather do is have them go to a dashboard and click on something to subscribe directly, without caring where the agents are located.
A dodgy workaround I have implemented is to put up a link to an URL which is the catalog location of the agents. Users would click on that link and they will see the list of agents, allowing them to subscribe/unsubscribe. Still, I would like to simplify this further, if possible. Any ideas?

OBIEE 11g Dashboard page load performance issue

Hi All,
One of my dashboard is taking for 5 to 15 min to load,Once the dashboard is displayed reports are coming fast. Dashboard has 5 pages.
Eg:
When I click on Dashboard -> XXXX Dashboard. It took 5 to 15 min to display the dashboard page. Reports are coming fast once the page is loaded.
Please help me on this.
Regards,
Hari

Cool,
Thank you for sharing the opinions of you.
My English i'snt so good. May not have expressed myself correctly.
In response to my post, I said that "OTHER" point which should also be evaluated is the environment you are using. not that this point is paramount.
Since the OBIEE is generated queries, the evaluation of queries generated and sent the data sources for sure should be evaluated.
thank you guys

Re: OBIEE 11g Dashboard Page Prompt

Hi all,
We have a Dashboard page in that multiple reports is there and one Region prompt is there with the scope of page level ,
once i gave the filter with that prompt every report is filtered based on that prompt values .
but in that reports for a particular report we were already drill down based on hierarchy and the remaining all reports are in highest level , now we were applies the filter through the prompt the remaining reports are filtered based on prompt value except that report which is in already drill down mode .
Can any body help me out , is it a tool limitation/ i have to do any changes.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi,
The report will react to a prompt only if there is a is promt column in that report. Check if there a is prompt filtered column in the report and remove it.
If you think that column is to be filtered as Is prompted and should not react to the dashboard prompt, then need to check...
Thanks

OBIEE 11g How to pass variable from one prompt to another prompt in dashboard page.

How to pass variable from one prompt to another prompt in dashboard page.
I have two prompt in dashboard page as below.
Reporttype
prompt: values(Accounting, Operational) Note: values stored as
presentation variable and they are not coming from table.
Date prompt values (Account_date, Operation_date)
Note:values are coming from dim_date table.
Now the task is When user select First
Prompt value “Accounting” Then in the
second prompt should display only Accounting_dates , if user select “operational”
and it should display only operation_dates in second prompt.
In order to solve this issue I made the
first prompt “Reporttype” values(Accounting, Operational) as presentation
values (custom specific values) and default presentation value is accounting.
In second prompt Date are coming from
dim_date table and I selected Sql results as shown below.
SELECT case when '@{Reporttype}'='Accounting'
then "Dates (Receipts)"."Acct Year"
else "Dates (Receipts)"."Ops
Year" End FROM "Receipts"
Issue: Presentation variable value is not
changing in sql when user select “operation” and second prompt always shows
acct year in second prompt.
For testing pupose I kept this presentation
variable in text object of dashboard and values are changing there, but not in
second prompt sql.
Please suggest the solution.

You will want to use the MoveClipLoader class (using its loadClip() and addListener() methods) rather than loadMovie so that you can wait for the file to load before you try to access anything in it. You can create an empty movieclip to load the swf into, and in that way the loaded file can be targeted using the empty movieclip instance name.

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
