Question on useless metrics in reports and dashboards

Similar Questions

• Where are the canned reports and dashboards?

  I guess I'm missing something obvious here. I walk through the installation guide for the users of Informatica, and everything seems to work out. I also did the OBIEE repository and loading configuration, so I see the metadata and all the tables/joints etc. But I thought we canned reports and dashboards included - where are they? I can't see them not mentioned in the documentation and figure that there should be a more obvious way to find watching all the directories in the installation...
  
  So... can anyone point me in the right direction?
  
  Thank you!

  Hello

  The /dashboards of canned reports are in the catalog. on the machine where you installed the application BI, OracleBIData\web\catalog
  You can find EnterpriseBusinessAnalytics.zip, then unzip this file and update the instanceconfig.xml and restart presentation services.

• Navigate between the report and dashboard and pass values between another column

  Hello
  
  I have a question about navigate from 1 report to a dashboard page passing value from column 1 to column 2 in the second report...
  
  In OBIEE 11 G, I create link action report 1, column 1 and this link from the action is go to the content of the BI and the destination is a dashboard page, which has used 2 column as a dashboard and there are 3 reports that all use column 2 to filter. Now, the dashboard page 2 column is an alias for column 1 report 1, from the point of view of users, these are the same, but OBIEE point of view, they are different.
  
  My action link is able to access the dashboard, however, the value in column 1 which I clicked on run navigation, not are placed in column 2 as the line of dashboard does not receive this value when navigating...
  
  Since I can't put column 1 in dashboard 2, nor that I can put the 2 column in the report 1. Because our data model is done in the way that if I use column 1 or 2 in both cases, it will be o-ring...
  
  Is there a way around this problem?
  
  Let me know if I need to elaborate
  
  Thank you

  Hello

  You are going to have three main dashboard page (i.e., dashboad1, 2, 3) in the dashboard you will be having 3 different relationship with different column aliases (e.g. columnx_alias1, columnx_alias2, columnx_alias3) and you're going to have a dashboard more page say dashboardx a report with columnx. Now if you click on report of dashboard1 to go to dashboardx, click on report of dashboard2 also should go to dashboardx, click dashboard3 report should also go to dashboardx.

  1 > you can create 3 variable presentation for column 3 aliases and hide. {{{You can use the union query in sql result say columnx select from table where columnx='@{column1}' union select columnx table where columnx='@{column2}' union select columnx table where columnx='@{column3}'.
  2 > now you can hide these guests with variables.

  Please let me know if you are facing a problem.

  Thank you

• Field question (long) list of the industry and the text

  two questions
  
  List of industry
  1. I want to create a list of choices cascading by industry (secondary sector) list, but the list of industry isn't in the cascading drop-down list. Is this a limitation of the current list of industry? If it can be done, how?
  
  Text (Long)
  1. the long text field is displayed as the same size as the text field short. Is there a way to set the display to a bigger size? For example Can I updated the display height 4 to display this field as 4 times the normal size?
  2. at the bottom of the layout, 3 step wizard (Field Layout), there is a section called 'Long text fields. Is it possible to add additional fields to this section? Is it possible to have more of the memo and another field (for example, a larger text field) per page?

  There are some out of the box reports and dashboards that use a list of choice in the industry. If you plan to use a custom instead drop-down list, and this field is going to be the key, I recommend that it is a field lookup indexed.

• Do I really need to download Windows Vista SP1, if I already have SP2? Problem reports and Solutions says to download.

  I ran, "Find new solutions", in the problem reports and Solutions and a new solution was found for Blue error screen and he recommended that I have download Windows Vista SP1. I have SP2, so I need to download the old version too?

  Hi JJ,

  I took the lead and it moved to the Performance and maintenance Forum. In response to the original question don't you're useless to download SP1 again since you have installed SP2. However, it would be preferable to follow with PA support to troubleshoot the Stop Code you receive.

• How to document your star-patterns and dashboards?

  Hello practitioners.
  
  We are new to OBIEE and started a few weeks ago. We are a team of two men. A guy who does all the design data and the other for everything that surrounds answers.
  
  Then, it happens regularly that the other guy should ask the guy on the exact definition and the meaning of the data fields, it wishes to use in responses.
  
  Being a guy real programmer that has only to a field name free-explainary itself, as documentation, of course (or so he thought).
  
  Question:
  
  What tools and methods do you use to document star-patterns and dashboards?
  
  As the other guy, it is important, that I take the correct fields, while on the other hand I don't want to disect a dashboard I built earlier, whenever someone wants something simular, just to understand what I actually did, at the time...
  
  Thank you for your help

  Hi Turalf,

  Have you watched the OBIEE metadata dictionary? A method to allow users to access definitions of column and you answers can view the mapping of the presentation, through physical layer MDB.
  Im sure you can expose observations of the RPD in it also.

  http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2008/12/OBIEE-metadata-dictionary.html

  Maybe you could watch ODI - lineage of the OBIEE data also provides mapping information "report to the source:

  I hope this helps.

• complete a report and start the following in a sequence

  Hello world

  because I did nothing in the model sequential and other models an options so far, I do not know how to start. Maybe you can help me with the following problem:

  I have a lot teststeps in about 50 sequences. The problem is, that my report is too long to be displayed with the internet explore (I choose the ATML format).  I spend most of the sequences manually and restart the test until I have tested everything. It's too much manual work.

  Now, I want to automatically create a new report, for example 100 teststeps, or on another event.

  A problem may be the style sheet, because the sequences are not finished when the report was created.

  Another problem is how to tell teststand that he must finish the first report and start another.

  Thanks for your response

  Meike

  Meike,

  Another option, though less frequently used, would be to Pierce your sequence of subsequences and have some (or all) of these subsequences to run in the execution of a new one with the sequential process model. This will cause several smaller reports to generate. This approach is described in point 4 of this white paper: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/14394/en/

  This approach seems like it might be what you are looking for. Let us know if you have other questions about this!

• How to prevent the user to create the 'analysis' and 'dashboard '?

  We have a requirement that is to restrict the user create new 'analysis' and 'dashboard '. As we know when the connection ' host: port / analytical, in the top of the page there is a drop down list of 'New' where users can create new 'analysis' and 'Dashboard', how to set up the privilege to disable the option 'Analysis' and 'dashboard '?

  Thank you
  Jinbo

  Summary:

  1 set the "New Menu" permission in the 'home page and Header' refusal, then the 'New' menu will disappear from the top right of the page, which prevents the user to create dashboards and new anlysis

  2. in order to not allow the user to modify the catalog, set the permission of "access user interface of the catalogue"in the ' welcome and header' to refuse."

  3. even made 1 and 2, we have always have a path that the user can create new report, it's "House"menu." To avoid this, our method is to set the explicit right to catalog for the application role.

  Thank you

• Report of dashboard by date filter

  Hello
  
  I have a dashboard report, which is updated nightly, but the data does not have a date in it field. Currently every morning download us the report and store it in the hard drive with this days date in the name of the file. It continues to grow at a faster pace. Is there a way to implement a filter with drop down dates and go back up to 30-day report. This field is not available in the database. Please let me know if this is feasible. How implemnet it.
  
  Thanks for your time and your help.

  Hello
  As I understand it, you do not want to keep any table of date dimension and would say you are given fact table is it date wise ferquency or months? You must load through the etl script add aditional column in this fact table date dimension table .for you must create a custom format as format below
  Year
  C
  Month
  Date
  columns in the table and keep loading manual.

  then add the dimension of your model PRD finally use the dimension table--> column months as a guest of dashboard and it sholud be propmted than answres report then is data will filter every month wise.

• compare reports and migration

  migrated an application designer since the environment of TEST development and TEST environment now is watered. I would get the TEST again to be a mirror of the production environment. Compare several reports and if I read them correctly (sorry still enough new for PEOPLESOFT) the target column is red (which means that these are the only target values, which is my TEST target) the Source column is the production and this column is all green (Peoplebooks says is only the data SOURCE) so that tells me the mirror environments not mutually correct?
  
  another would be the best way to migrate the last project in production on in the test compare report until all mirrors (which would be blue or just empty?) or to perform a full restore of the TEST environment on the eve of the day where it has been sprayed?
  
  should also be programmers project and data migrations or ADMINISTRATOR? in my experience everyone should not have access admin outside the development environment. read only in TEST in addition to the DBA and the DBA user end migration? and is there a reason that a programmer must have Peoplesoft Data Mover, installed on the machine it has admin access to all environments? and how can ensure you the integrity of the data?

  Access issues:

  Developers need access on dev environments and to develop and test to migrate projects to full environments. Directors of migrate to the uat test projects and once approvals are given by end-users, they migrate to the prod of approx.

  compare the reports and questions:
  Once the project is developed in dev and is ready to migrate, run a report to compare source to the target (dev in tst). code changes appear in red on the side source, rest is shown in green on the side of the source. all flags will be defined by running the reports.flags compare, I want to talk to are the indicators of upgrade. same and same are the words that you see objects if they match the target source (or) you will see changed-changed if it is necessary to migrate between of the CA. If the void is the line of code that is displayed on the code page, so there's no difference in the line of code between of the CA.

  migrate objects and run verification tests. Initially, until you get used to the migration, try running compare reports after migration also see reports comapre as empty and everything to say same and even on the upgrade tab.

  Thank you

• Hyperion Reporting and patch analysis 9.3.3

  Thanks in advance,

  There is a single correction utility, the utility to install SP (patch.bat)
  that will do a lot of the patch file automatically. The result of the patch is there are 3 new files of war/ear you will need to redeploy the application server in the configuration utility. This includes the workspace, financial reports and Web Analytics.

  Information is in the release of patch notes, but I think that answer your question - there is a simple script to run, and then redeploy the application servers.
