Explode Wedge in OBIEE Pie Chart

Dennis Hancy

Within my Pie Chart, I click on "View Properties".

On the Style tab, I click on "Style and Conditional Formatting".

On the first tab (Style Formatting) of the next screen, I am presented with a list having three columns: Position, Color, and Explode Wedge.

This allows me to break out a wedge of the pie in an effort to highlight it on the display.

I have created five such lines in this dialog box, which means up to the first five wedges will be exploded (i.e., broken away from the pie itself).

But is there a way to tell OBIEE that I want all wedges to be exploded?  In other words, I won't know ahead of time how many pieces of pie there will be.

If I leave the position field blank, I get a long winded error message.  Clicking on Error Details, it simply tells me "Error Codes: EIRWWH9E.

If I enter a 0, none of my pie wedges are exploded.

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!!

Hi Dennis,

a) not in out-of-the-box OBIEE

b) you can do what you want with D3js or Oracle JET or <Insert Library Of Choice Here>

Hi Christian,

I'm not familiar with either D3js or Oracle JET.  Are those separate products?  Are they included with the standard OBIEE suite?

Looking into our current system, I notice something else.  My predecessors on this project were able to accomplish exactly what I am describing.  Unfortunately they are not available for me to ask.  The attached screen shot shows the setup they used to create another pie chart.

I tried to duplicate this setup with my own pie charts, and that is when I get that long winded error message.    I'm guessing there is something else they did to get this to work.  Perhaps it's one of the two solutions you mention?  But where to do this -- that is the question.

thanks,

dennis

No they are visualization libraries which can easily be used in OBIEE:

This is the D3 library: http://d3js.org/

This is JET: http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/jet/index.html
