Through the Oracle BI Presentation Services filters go URL via a URL
Hi expert,We ara uses a function called "filters to the Oracle BI Presentation Services go URL via a URL."
However, we are facing a problem that how to pass the value "all" in the reports.
For example:
We have a command prompt that contains some values:
All the
China
America
..... (lots of data)
In Url go:
When you click a value:
Saw.dll? Go & Path = / Shared/Test/SB2 & Action = Browse & P0 = 1 & P1 = eq & P2 = Customers.Region & P3 = 1 + China (it's a correct result which display the data of China)
When users click any value:
Saw.dll? Go & Path = / Shared/Test/SB2 & Action = Browse & P0 = 1 & P1 = eq & P2 = Customers.Region & P3 = nqgtac 1 + "*) (*" (our result shows all the data, but does not show any results) ")"
We know reports don't have all the data, so it displays no data.
How to implement this requirement?
Are you facing the same issue? I thank.
OK, got it.
In your case means "(tous les choix)" in the prompt of the ordinary. "
In this case, try don't past not any value for columns in the url, it should be something like
Saw.dll? Go&path=/shared/test/SB2&action=navigate&p0=1&P1=EQ&P2=customers.region
In this case for P3 is going to be all the choices
You must validate the values selected to submit the form.
OR GOOD
You can move % using one of these coasters that documented such conditions
CANY contains one (values & P3).
call contains all (values & P3).
as you type % 25 instead of the usual % wildcard. See the following examples

you have administrator privileges? If not try to run the FF with the administrator id - right click on the file exe and say "Run as Administrator" and then type "subject: config" without the quotes in the FF homepage, then you should be good and go forward with the rest of the steps.

Oracle BI Presentation Services User Interface Customization
Hi, I read the chapter
Oracle BI Presentation Services User Interface Customization
in the manual
Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation Services Administration Guide (Version 10.1.3.2 December 2006)
There's a note (copied from this manual)
NOTE: In Oracle BI, customization of the UI presentation Services and appearance
is done by changing styles and the message XML files and skins and not through the use of
JavaScript. You should not change the JavaScript files located in the SAROOTDIR\web\app\res folder.
where SAROOTDIR is the installation directory. This is because the objects and methods in these
scripts can change, and because these files may be replaced during the upgrade. (In a dashboard
users with the appropriate permissions can customize an individual dashboard section by adding
HTML to it. This HTML can include JavaScript. For more information, read Oracle Business
Responses of intelligence, dashboards and offer interactive user guide.)
My question is:
When there is an upgrade, will be replaced only the javascript files?
Should I need to customize, I have modified the files in SAROOTDIR\web\app\res files? (using IIS, not OC4J)
When there is a willingness to upgrade, image, css, replaced xml files files files?
If the files (for customizing the User Interface) will be replaced after the upgrade, is it possible to avoid replacing?
If there is a deployment to another machine, do I need to copy files that have changed (for the customization of the User Interface) to paste the SAROOTDIR\web\app\res
folder? is this a correct way? or correct anyway?
Thank you very much!Not really. Best practice is not to touch the original skin + style files and work with the own. In this way there is no worries when you upgrade.

I too have a problem installing windows error1601. I went through the steps to get services and found that this installer of windows is gone. How can I get that back?
Try to run the Windows Installer Cleanup http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Secure-cleaning/Windows-Installer-CleanUp-Utility.shtml utility to see if that solves the problems with windows install.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Unable to see the user in presentation Services
Hello
I created a user in OBIEE administrator but I don't see the user when I go to the Administration of the Referral Services. All the world is facing this problem?
Thank youIf you need to set the security permissions on the user who is logged in to create a group in the administration tool that points to the USER variable and create the group even in presentation services to set relevant privileges in this regard. In this way the LDAP user would inherit all the security features set for the group to which it belongs once it connects. If you do not need to set privileges on the user, then you have no connection as an LDAP user. In order to see the users, it should be possible that when the user logs in for the first time after the LDAP authentication.

Cisco ASA5505. Not available through the firewall identity web services
Hello, everyone!
Then put the puzzle patterns to ensure that users are connected using AD and went to the internet.
Given Cisco ASA 5505. On the domain controller expected agent AD (which says dc - up and customer - facing upwards), ASA quietly takes user connections.IP addresses on the network are distributed by DHCP, which is triggered on a domain controller.The essence of the problem is that, after the authentication of the user online falls after awhile. That is the user logged on to the computer, and then open the browser, open a few sites, then went 5-7 minutes of inactivity, and Internet is not available. Internet appears when the reconnection of the user at a certain time or the computer disable "LAN network connection" for 1 minute. You don't have to dig?
This configuration on the SAA as follows:
object-group user ACTIVE_ALLOW
user-group DCU\\CASA61_Allow

OpenScript performing through the Oracle Test Manager on linux environments
Hello
I developed a couple of tests OpenScript (Java only) in my development environment (Windows). But I struggle to run these tests using Test Manager (which runs on a Linux - production environment) while BTA, they work perfectly well. We have the latest installed version of OATS is 12.1.0.2.
When I try to run my tests OpenScript (via OTM) I get this error in the process_console log file:
Exception in thread "Main Thread" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/core/Launcher/Main
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main

The main class is not found: org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main. Program ends.
Anyone know what could be the problem and how can it be solved?
Also, anyone has had luck OpenScript running tests in linux using OTM environments?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards
KarolisHello Karolis
Starting today, you can not run script OpenScript OTM on Linux. It's on the roadmap, but no I have not yet calendar.
Two workaround options:
1 / you deploy a remote agent on windows
2 / you create a custom script in testcase type and you use the command line to run a load test scriptJDK/bin/java-jar OLTCommandLine.jar - run - session = test1_ad1-scenarioFile=/export/.../Test_Ad1.scn - OLTServer = localhost:8088 - user = oats-password = UE1-log=/export/.../ad1.log Good luck

10g - hide, the report contains the oracle user-defined function
Hi, experts,
of http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2008/07/obiee-cache-management.html
Reasons why a request is not added to the Cache:
•The-cacheable SQL element. If a SQL query contains Current_Timestamp, Current_Time, Rand, Populate, or a parameter marker, then it is not added to the cache.
•The-cacheable table. Physical in the Oracle BI Server repository tables can be marked "cacheable". If a query refers to any non-cacheable table then the results of the query will not be added to the cache.
•Cache hit. In general, if the query gets a cache hit on a previously cached query, then the results of the current query are not added to the cache. The exception is query that is aggregated at winding hits hits.
Result set is too large.
Query is canceled. This can happen by explicit cancellation of Oracle BI Presentation Services or Administration, or implicitly through timeout tool.
•Oracle BI Server is clustered. Queries coming into family "seeding cache" spread in the whole of the cluster. Other queries continue to be stored locally. Therefore, even if a query may be cached on the Server BI Oracle 1 node, it can not be on the node Server BI Oracle 2.
I would like to know
If the application (report on the dashboard) calls a function defined by the user to oracle, the cache can be created and saved for this report?
Thank you very much!Hello stephen,.
If the application (report on the dashboard) calls a function defined by the user to oracle, the cache can be created and saved for this report?
Yes, it is cached... function defined in the database is called OBIEE is cached and saved.

Connection problems in presentation Services - dashboards &; responses
Hi all
I'm a new user who is trying to follow the tutorial OBE for self-study.
I have a laptop Windows 7.0 I have installed:
Oracle 10.2.0.1 database + Client
OBIEE 10.1.3.4
JDK 1.6.0_4
As a result of the tutorial OBE, the installation went through without any problems including OC4j.
I can connect to the Administration using Administrator/administrator.
I have ensured that all services were restarted:
Oracle BI Java host
Oracle BI presentation services
Oracle BI Server
OC4J began
However, when I try to connect to the Referral Services the following happens:
The URL is http://laptop_name:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard
I have the of the OBI Administrator/administrator login page.
I enter the page of interactive dashboards. So far so good.
However, as soon as I press on one of the links I find back to the OBI login page.
Example 1 I click on the link to answers and it returns me to the OBI with this URL login page: http://laptop_name:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Answers & _scid = cS0HaZqrGJk
I enter Administrator/Administrator and get a page that says:
Not connected
You are not already connected to the Oracle BI server.
If you have already logged in, your login may have expired, or a communication or a server error occurred.
E.g.2 I re-login to presentation Services and click on the "it's an empty dashboard Page. "Click here to add content" link it returns me to the OBI with this URL login page:
http://laptop_name:9704/Analytics/saw.dll?EditDashboard & _scid = fkph * RB * My8 & PortalPath = / Users/Administrator/_portal & page = page % 201 & Done = Dashboard
I get Administrator/Administrator and access the page of the editor dashboard. Here, if I click on dashborads under the saved content I get an error that says:
Unable to communicate with Oracle BI presentation Services. Please make sure you're always connected and try again.
I have performed these steps on the other laptop with the same configurations 7.0 Win and it worked so what's the problem with my system, I even tried OBIEE 10.1.3.4 but get eaxctly the same problem.
So, what I'm missing, any ideas please?
Thank you
FabienIn Mozilla, you can use localhost instead of the computer name. I think that you have tried that in IE. have you tried using localhost on mozilla?
