View maps on OBIEE 11g Dashboard

Hi All,
My Installation: I have OBIEE 11g installed on Windows Server 2008. My Database is SQL Server 2012.
My Requirement: Display maps in OBIEE Dashboard.
Firstly, from the various posts available online, I have understood that the OBIEE 11g MapViewer works ONLY with Oracle database. If this is true then I need another way to view maps because I don't have Oracle DB.
Can I have Google maps on my OBIEE dashboard ?
Any suggestions/advice will be highly appreciated.
Thanks n Regards
Dev

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 Dashboard Prompt Reset Button Functionality

Dear Experts,
Can anyone explain what is the exact functionality of 'Reset' Button in any OBIEE 11g Dashboard Prompt.
If anyone found any documentation related to it... please let me know.
thanks,
Varun

Hi Varun,
This is the functionality of Reset button,
Reset will go back to last applied values. It does not clear values. Currently the Reset button works in the following ways:
if 1) the prompt is blank 2) select some value, 3) reset 4) it should go back to blank.
if 1) the prompt is blank 2) select some value, 3) apply 4) reset. 5) it should NOT to back to blank. actually it does not change anything.
if 1) the prompt is blank 2) select some value, 3) apply 4) change any values 5) reset. 6) it should undo any changes in step 4.
Rgds,
Dpka

OBIEE 11g: Dashboard not invoking simple javascript alert

Hi Experts,
I'm trying to invoke one simple ALERT command with javascript in obiee 11g dashboard. The purpose is when it loads, it should print one ALERT message and also when we change something in the prompt and clicking Apply button.
Here is code written in a text item (Checked html markup option) after prompts;
<script language="Javascript">
alert ("Hello");
</script>
The Javascript alert message is showing when the dashboard page loads, but its not coming when we click the Apply button after changing the prompts.
Can anyone give helpful hint, how to check it and why its not showing up when we press Apply button?
Any hint or some useful links will b highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You just used code and I would say the default event is onload of the page, thats the reason you are able to see alert.
Since you didnt ask or written code onClick event to show alert, its not showing.
You need to tell to browser when to prompt alert message instead of onload.
Hope you are more confuse about 'how to do'
if yes, mark :)
give some more info about your actual req. that helps any other gurus to help.

OBIEE 11g Dashboard dropdown

Hi,
In OBIEE 11g the dashboards are located in a dropdown box (to choose from), not so nice - I think. Is it possible to change this appearance so it looks like in OBIEE 10g? Hopefully a setting somewhere.........

Hi,
I too have the same need, I think the 10g dashboard layout is easier to work with.
Thanks

Remove Zoom scale of Google maps in OBIEE 11g Mapviewer

Hi,
While integrating Google maps with OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0 , we are able to see two Zoom scales one for BI layer and another for Base map layer (Google Map).
When we select the former Zoom scale (BI Layer) , our views have been placed in exact countries. But when we select latter one, only base map i.e., Google map is zooming without upholding the views(Color fill,Image,Bar Graph,etc.,).
So is there any way to bring synchronization between two layers with one zoom scale.
Kindly help me to sort out this issue.
Thanks in advance!

Will require backport of a fix for mapviewer (oraclemaps.js) that has to be part of the OBIEE patchset.
Filing a bug would help the process.

Map View Analyses in OBIEE 11g

Hi friends,
Im in the process of using map view in my analysis. For that they asked to put the following thing in the instanceconfig.xml file after *</Logging>* tag
<SpatialMaps>
<ColocatedOracleMapViewerContextPath>/mapviewer/</Colocated
OracleMapViewerContextPath>
<RemoteOracleMapViewerAbsoluteURL></RemoteOracleMapViewerAb
soluteURL>
<LayerDataLayout><MaxRecords>600</MaxRecords></LayerDataLay
out>
</SpatialMaps>Soon after making this change i saved the instanceconfig.xml file and after that they asked to restart the BIPresentation services(via)EM. But the Restart isn't successful as the Presentation Service is going down.
But if i removed the above code in the xml file, and if i restarted the services means then the BI presentation services is becoming up. But if i used that code in the xml file means the BI presentation service is going down.
I couldnt able to predict the reason behind it. Since for performing the map view in my analyses i need to add the above coding. But the Presentation servers is going down for that.
Thanks
All izz Well

OBIEE 11g: Dashboard Javascript Issue

Hi Gurus,
We have upgraded obiee from 10g to 11g and finding issues with javascript in a dashboard.
Functionality: There are some custom labels showing prompt values in it with large font. When user change prompt value and Apply, it should change the value of those text as well.
In 10g its running fine, but in 11g its not happening after we change the value of prompts. I found the following Javascript is responsible for this functionality. Even I saw one thread to suggest the exactly same code, but in 10g.
<script type="text/javascript">
(function(){
var tblTag = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
var tdElem= document.getElementsByTagName('td');
for(m=0;m<tdElem.length;m++){
if(tdElem[m].className=='GFPSubmit'){tdElem[m].childNodes[0].tBodies[0].rows[0].cells[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].innerHTML='Run Report';
}//close if statement
}//close for loop
}// close function clickVal()
</script>
Thread:
Change Go Button Text on Prompt Only
I need to understand what its actually doing? and Does it really work in 11g? Whats the alternative code?
Thanks in advance.

In 10g these are the html objects, after upgrade you need to know the html objects for that report based on that you need to modify javascript code.
From given code, activity is doing on these objects; You need to find out the equivalent object name for 'GFPSubmit' in 11g.
GFPSubmit
table
td
If make sense mark

Parametrized BIP report integration on OBIEE 11g dashboard

HI Experts,
I have created BIP Report using SQL as source for my Dataset in Datamodel.Also, the report is parametrized with date value.
SELECT * FORM EMP
WHERE DEPT_NO=:DEPT_NO
AND HIRE_DATE<=:FROMDATE
AND HIRE_DATE>=:TODATE
DEPTNO : List of value (Select DEPTNO from DEPARTMENTS) and the Parameter is created as Menu type
FROMDATE: List of vale(select day from Date_table) and the parameter is created as Date type
TODATE: List of vale(select day from Date_table) and the parameter is created as Date type.
The Report is working fine in BI Publisher portal.. Now I want to integrate this report onto the dashboard. For, that I have created 3 dashboard prompts (column prompts) and set the values to presentation variables DEPT_NO and FROMDATE and TODATE respectively...
Now when I run my dashboard after choosing all the prompts the report is not getting generated. Instead, it is throwing below error.
oracle.xdo.XDOException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException.
I don't have an idea what is causing this issue and i verified LOG Viewer form Enterprise manager.. But, no use.. I couldn't figure out the issue..
Can any body help me how to resolve this issue..
Regards
Ramarao

Hi Ramarao,
There's many possible reasons why you're getting the error 'oracle.xdo.XDOException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException'. Because it's an XDO error, I'm stewing more towards your template that you're using.
I would propose the following:
print the whole error that you retrieved
Change the SQL script from * to the specific column names and ensuring that maps correctly to your template
Hope this gets the ball rolling and one step closer to resolving the issue
Regards,
Daniel

'All' filter in Obiee 11g dashboard

Hi All,
My client requirement is to see all data in dashboard prompt as well as there should be another item its 'ALL' which return the all data.
Example:
There is a dashboard filter on CustomerType (like: GOLD,SILVER) , our client want to see the data on filter (like: ALL,GOLD,SILVER) the ALL will filter the boat GOLD and SILVER.
-I think its very common but i cant do in OBIEE.

Select All is available in prompts but with limited scope.
The option "Include "*All Column Values" choice in the list*" is available, when we uncheck "*Enable user to select multiple values*".
So basically this option limits the choice to 'All' or "Only One value".
Desired functionality: 'All' or " multiple values"
Thanks,
Ravi

Report Links in OBIEE 11g Dashboard not displayed correctly

In the Dashboard pages the Report Links for Export are not displayed correctly .
Instead of showing the multiple options for export/download it shows just text.

It can be done by doing below steps.
1) before doing this take a backup of instanconfig.xml file and do the below changes...
You can configure various options that change the way that right-click interactions are handled in views for an analysis at runtime. The elements in the instanceconfig.xml file specify the default settings for a new or upgraded analysis. You can edit the properties of an analysis in Presentation Services to modify how the analysis handles right-click interactions in views.
Before you begin this procedure, ensure that you are familiar with the information in Section 3.4, "Using a Text Editor to Update Configuration Settings."
To manually configure for interactions in views:
2) C:\Oracle\Middleware\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\instanceconfig.xml
Open the instanceconfig.xml file for editing,
3)
Locate the sections in which you must add the elements
Include the elements and their ancestor elements as appropriate, as shown in the following example:
<ServerInstance>
<Analysis>
<InteractionProperties>
<InteractionPropertyAddRemoveValues>false</InteractionPropertyAddRemoveValues>
<InteractionPropertyCalcItemOperations>false</InteractionPropertyCalcItemOperations>
<InteractionPropertyDrill>false</InteractionPropertyDrill>
<InteractionPropertyGroupOperations>false</InteractionPropertyGroupOperations>
<InteractionPropertyInclExclColumns>false</InteractionPropertyInclExclColumns>
<InteractionPropertyMoveColumns>false</InteractionPropertyMoveColumns>
<InteractionPropertyRunningSum>false</InteractionPropertyRunningSum>
<InteractionPropertyShowHideSubTotal>false</InteractionPropertyShowHideSubTotal>
<InteractionPropertySortColumns>false</InteractionPropertySortColumns>
</InteractionProperties>
</Analysis>
</ServerInstance>
4) Save your changes and close the file.
5)
Restart Oracle Business Intelligence.
Mark as correct if it is helpful :)
Thanks.

OBIEE 11g Dashboard Help

Hi,
I have the following requirement needs to be implemented in OBIEE RPD/Answers/Dashboard. Please suggest
Dimension:_
1) Country
2) Currency
3) Time
4) Customer
5) Stage
Fact:_
1) ASOF
Requirement:_
a) User will be selecting the Start Effective Date & End Effective Date in Prompts and this filter is based on Time dimension
b) Please note that, the time dimension has only Calendar Date Column and Fact Table also has data with respect to Calendar Date ONLY NOT LIKE Effective Start Date Revenue, Effective End Date Revenue
b) once date range is selected, the report has to be shown with the following selected columns and filters applied
Selected Columns:_
Effective Start Date Revenue
Effective End Date Revenue
Effective Start Date
Effective End Date
Effective Start Date Stage
Effective End Date Stage
Effective Start Date Revenue - Effective End Date Revenue
Filters Needs to be Applied:_
For Effective Start Date Revenue, sum(Revenue) for the Calendar Date is less than or equal to Effective Start Date
For Effective End Date Revenue, sum(Revenue) for the Calendar Date is less than or equal to Effective End Date
Effective Start Date Stage, max(stage) for the Calendar Date is less than or equal to Effective Start Date
Effective Start End Stage, max(stage) for the Calendar Date is less than or equal to Effective End Date
Please let me know how to do it in OBIEE 11g

Thanks. I would need only ONE Clarification.
the Fact table has data at Date Level. For Example,
Date Revenue Stage
20120101 123.98 1a
20120302 178.965 1b
20120401 768.99 1c
The report should contain the following columns based on date range selection:- Start Date & End Date
Start_Date_Revenue End_Date_Revenue Start_Date_Stage End_Date_Stage
So, I have used FILTER(Revenue using Date = 'Presentation Variable for Start Date') & FILTER(Revenue using Date = 'Presentation Variable for End Date') for Revenue Calculation.
Similarly, is there any way to retrieve the stage columns data for each date and show it in report?
Note:_ I have tried the filter function for Dimension Column to bring Stage but it works only for Measure Column

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
