View pdf or doc reports in obiee 10g dashboard

Hi,
Is it possible to view reports which are saved in pdf or doc format to view in dashboard.
We have some static reports which are in pdf format. How to view those reports in dashboard, like by using link or image etc..?
Thanks.

Dear Amith,
Thanks for your reply.
I need to embed the pdf document not just image.
The report generated for last month will be saved in pdf. The pdf will be paced in installed obiee folders. Now this report need to be embed in dashboard. On clicking a link or something the saved pdf should open in new window or in dashboard, so that no need of report generation based on lastmonth once again.
Thanks.

Issue with PDF displaying ' (apostrophe) symbol in OBIEE 10g

Our report/dashboard bears some special characters like *'* *(apostrophe)* and they get displayed fine in normal view of OBIEE 10g. But if the same report is exported as PDF output the characters are being displayed into equivalent ASCII code For eg: *'* *(apostrophe)* is displayed as *&#39*. Is this a known bug in OBIEE 10g or is there a workaround/patch available for the same?

Hi ,
Are you using 10.1.3.4.1 .
I think 10.1.3.4.2 is more stable version for 10g and below issues are corrected in this :
Master Note For Print/Download issues In OBIEE 10g [ID 1206791.1]
Blank Page or Errors When Printing to PDF. [ID 1086844.1]
OBIEE 10.1.3.2 PDF Print Does Not Respect Defined Column Widths [ID 544941.1]
.... so just a update may help.
Thanks

Unable to view PDF output from Report Server

Help!
I have successfully setup CGI Report Server and can generate and view reports in IE5 as HTML repformat.
However when I try to generate output as PDF I do not get the report displayed. Instead I get a little acrobat icon displayed in the top left of the browser window.
When I click on the icon I get a IE5 message:
"There is no viewer available for the type of object you are trying to open....
Content Type: application/pdf"
...and then insists on taking me to Microsoft activex plugin page.
This is very stange as I DO have Adobe Acrobat Reader 4 installed and the plugin works ok when viewing PDF files on Oracle webpage.
Any suggestions on how to resolve are gratefully received!!
Regards,
Richard.

You have run into an interesting problem. The problem is not with Reports. The problem is with Adobe. You can search Adobe's web site and they point to Microsoft (btw, this problem doesn't occur with netscape as the browser) Microsoft's web site point to Adobe.
The Problem is that the .ocx Adobe puts out for use with IE times out if the report take stoo long to start sending back data. We had report that worked and some that didn't. We took a report that worked and put a sleep command in it and when the sleep command got to 10 the report quit working.
My suggestion: move to netscape, make your reports as fast as absolutely possible.

New to iPad from android/PC...How can I view PDF, XLS, DOC files when I am not connected to wifi?

I understand that GoodReader is able to open PDF, XLS, DOC, etc., but is not actually able to edit them.
Documents-to-Go can edit them, but will they be stored on my iPad?
Evernote seems to be able to access them without being connected to wifi, but cannot edit spreadsheets that I am aware of.
Does anyone have any good suggestions to be able to access documents while in airplane mode?

GoodReader, Documents to Go, Pages, Numbers can all store documents on the iPad.

If you want display the column data in sections place required columns in section .

Screen flashing black only when viewing .pdf or .doc

I installed OpenOffice about a month ago. Shortly thereafter, my screen began flashing black whenever (and only when) I opened a document or pdf.
I installed OpenOffice and installed Microsoft Word. No help. I uninstalled Adobe Reader and reinstalled it. Still same problem. I called Dell computers. They had me do a System Restore.
No help. For some reason, they had me log in as an administrator. No help. The screen only flashes when a .doc or .pdf is open. It's a software, not hardware problem. Please help.

Assuming that you are on Windows, it could be a problem with your graphics driver. What is your display adapter, device driver version & date? See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765

First of all, proof read your post. Generally, grammatical and punctuation errors can be deciphered, but where words are critical to presenting your issue clearly, you must type those sentences correctly. Otherwise, it can be confusing and turn off someone who may want to help.
"...which can be shown without and filters and want data for current year." What does this mean?
"...And weeks columns have to update its week no based on that week." What does this mean?
In an attempt to answer you question, do this:
1) Base your query filters on the "current running year." This will satisfy the requirements for displaying data from the first report.
2) Now add 4 "sales" columns (i.e., same column, but 4 instances of it). In each of these columns, click on the fx button, click on Filters, go to your Time dimension and select the appropriate week, and then click "OK." Now, each of these columns will hold the measure value for the particular week while the "sales" column will have the "running total" for the whole time period.
Once you get the above to work, you can work on automating this by substituting a function in place of the hard-coded week number values.

Constraint not working in OBIEE 10G Dashboard prompt

Hi All,
We are facing a issue in constraint in dashboard prompt.
We have two database tables Employee and Calender. Both are joined through time_id key.
We have made a report from coloumns of both.
We have made dashboard prompt consisting of 3 coloums i.e.
Month-YEAR,
Week Ending,
Shift Date
First two are from same employee table and Shift date is from calender.
Both dimensions are also in Awnsers as it is.
All 3 prompts are multiselect. Constraint box is checked in all.
Issue is that, When I select a Month-Year in prompt, Corresponding 4 or 5 weekendings comes in multiselect box.
But when i select a week ending from here, i don't get corresponding Seven dates for that particular week.
Instead all shift dates available there in calender table comes in multiselect.
Does constraint don't work on coloums of different dimensions or tables?
Any body , Please reply with a possible solution.
Regards,
Apurv Mishra

Thanks @786372 for your response..
But, If we will make view for those coloums , then how can we apply ''Is Prompted" for prompted coloum in our report filters.
As per my understanding, to make ''Is Prompted '' work , Fx (coloum formula) should be same in report and prompt.
So, how can we create a different view only for prompt.
We may use presentation variable to make above work, i won't be able to create multi-select prompt.
Regards
Apurv

OBIEE 10g Dashboard Prompt Multiple Values

A dashboard prompt is applied to filter on Regions, however the issue we're facing is that the region values show up multiple times (1000's). We want to show each value once and I read about 2 solutions:
1) Apply a select distinct SQL on the prompt - This does not work for us since the region is also a key field in the drill down (region consists out of states), the drill down overrules the select distinct and the prompt still shows multiple values. Any ideas?
2) Apply a cast to char on the dashboard prompt field - The values show up only once, however now the dashboard prompt does not get applied to the reports. Looking at the SQL nothing seems to come back from the database. This might have to do with the fact that the region data type in the business layer is VARCHAR with a max of 30, thoughts? I tried updating the cast to varchar(30) but that had no effect.
The cast sql is simple and looks like this:
SELECT CAST ("zzz"."Region" as char) FROM ...
Hopefully anyone can help us with this problem. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips!
1. No, it does not happen when the column is the only item in a report
2a. I updated the cast to a varchar and added the distinct because that seemed easier than changing the field types in the rpd. The new SQL looks like this:
SELECT DISTINCT CAST("zzz.Region" AS varchar(10)) FROM ...
2b. Also joining to a table with extra region information (the sequence how we present the values to the customer) provided unique values:
Select "zzz.Region" FROM ... ORDER BY "zzz."Region Sequence"
With both solution we force OBIEE to execute the SQL differently so that the key field in the dimension does not throw off the numbers
