I have a measure from where i navigate to another report. So i set the column property to navigate and set the path. However, when i add behind the path &Options=fr then i get an error message. I'm trying to achieve that i also have a "printer friendly" button in the report I navigate to. Thanks Hi Venkat,

I wanted to know whether each time Go URL is used by passing NQUser & NQPassword as parameters, I think the presentation services create session each time. Is there anyway we can handle not to create more than one session? Hi Venkat,

We are trying to generate a chart that Oracle BI EE is not able to generate and integrate it into a dashboard. To do this we need to use a product called Dundas that we understand can use the Oracle BI Server as an ODBC data source. In Answers, a table is generated with the correct data and a narrative view is created where code is used to call an ASP page, where the Dundas created chart is generated. We have to pass to this page the "logical SQL" generated by Answers for it to use against the ODBC of the Oracle BI server. This removes the processing of the large data set in the code in the narrative which is more efficient. The asp page uses the return set of this query and renders the graph of the wind rose in the page, which appears embedded in the dashboard. Has anyone done this type of integration before and Does it seem like a plausible workaround? How do I get the "logical SQL" into the external app? Is it using tyhe GO URL statement? Hi Venkatakrishnan,

Currently we pass the column value through a URL. How do I additioanlly pass the other YEAR parameter? Is it possible. As far as the documentation for GO URL is concerned, I havent seen a way where we can pass on multiple parameters to an external application.

This is an issue for my team as we present a collection of reports to our users. That said, GO URL is *not* a new feature for OBIEE, there is a hidden unsupported feature (Version 7.8.4 or higher) for the complete dashboard that does work, example - http://server/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&Action=navigate&P0=2&P1=eq&P2=VERSION_DIM.VERSION_NAME&P3=XYZ&P4=eq&P5=TESTCASE_DIM.ACCOUNT_NAME&P6=ACCOUNT&Page=IOS+Version+Report&PortalPath=%2Fshared%2FQIS%2F_Portal%2F.QIS&NQUser=USERNQPassword=PASSWD The GO URL can only be used for a report and does not work for the dashboard.

How can I access Dashboard input parameters (used in prompts) in my BI Publisher reports? Actually my requirements is that these input parameters must be printed in the BI Publisher reports. Thanks Anand Hi Venkatakrishnan,

Your blog is very informative, but I still have a question.

How can I access Dashboard input parameters (used in prompts) in my BI Publisher reports? Actually my requirements is that these input parameters must be printed in the BI Publisher reports.
