OBIEE11g download

Hi, I’m getting about 10 request a day for the download link of obiee11g.

Well I don’t have it.

As far as I’m aware at the moment (28/jul/2010 15:30 GMT), there isn’t a public one available yet.

Please be patient! It might tonight, it might be tomorrow, it might somewhere next…. If you want to have a beta release contact your local Oracle rep!

If it does come online all the OBIEE blogs will light up for sure!

In the mean time you can still place a bet:

OBIEE using prompt as report selector

Yes, I know Venkat did it before:
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/01/17/oracle-bi-101332-selecting-reports-from-dashboard-prompts-and-guided-navigation-sections/
So I will do it again so you can all reference mine ;-)
Create a prompt with a dropdown list of your reports:


If you can use an LOV instead off the CASE 1=0 construction!
put it all in a presentation variable
Add some dummy reports which only rows if the right pReports are selected:


Add the prompt and your real reports to your dashboard, give each report a separate section:

Set the Guided Navigation:


And Now you have a report selector:

OBIEE Handling long dashboard page names

First of all I don’t think long dashboard names are really that clever. But still if someone else is paying the bill…..

You have the risk of running out of background space:

Still you can control the names a bit by using HTML BR and NOBR tags:
BR:


NOBR:

OBIEE remove the whole portalbanner

Or how how to remove this in one go:

Add a textbox to your dashboard:

Add the following code:
[code]
<script type="text/javascript">
    var tds = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
    for (var td = 0; td < tds.length; td++) {
        if (tds[td].className != 'PortalBanner' && tds[td].className != 'PortalBottomTable' ) {
            continue;
        }
        if (tds[td].className == 'PortalBanner') {
        //alert (tds[td].className);
        var x = tds[td].parentNode;
        //alert (x.className);
        x.removeChild(tds[td]);}
        if (tds[td].className == 'PortalBottomTable') {
        //alert (tds[td].className);
        var x = tds[td].parentNode;
        //alert (x.className);
        x.removeChild(tds[td]);}
        }
</script>
[/code]

Update:
Stijn showed an much simpler trick by using the GO URL: http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/11/01/oracle-bi-ee-101332-hiding-banner-in-dashboards-using-go-url/

Update2:
for OBIEE11Gr5 :

The formatting was screwed up replace 'PortalBanner' ==> 'HeaderTopBar'
'PortalBottomTable' ==> 'HeaderSecondBar ' (Including the space)
