Action Links missing export-analyze and other options after upgrading from 11g to 12c OBIEE

Action Links missing export-analyze and other options after upgrading from 11g to 12c OBIEE

in 11g, I have action links that show a link to an Analysis (Report) using Navigate to BI Content

when I click the link in 11g, The report has options for: Return - Anlayze - Refresh - Print - Export - Briefing Book - Create Bookmark Link

after migrating to OBIEE 12c.. when I click the same Action Link, the report only has options for: Return - Create Bookmark Link

is there configuration somewhere that can turn all the options back on?

I know a workaround is to delete the action link, and drag the report directly onto the dashboard.. Then it has the 'Report Links' options..

But there was some reason we had to use an Action Link instead.. I don't remember why...

Did you log in with an Administrator user, such as the 'weblogic'?

If yes, try logging into EM, after which click on Weblogic Domain -> Security -> Application Policies. Select OBI as the application stripe. Check if you have the BIAdministrator role assigned or not. Select [Resource Types] and investigate to see if the necessary permissions are missing. If not, create a new role and proceed to add in the missing permissions i.e BIAdministrator. After this, restart the server and log back in to check if the report options are available or not.

SJenkins

They should show up for all users, not just BI Admins.. but yes, they are missing from the weblogic account too..

You say I need to add missing permissions, what permissions..

here is what BI Administrator has:

That BIAdministrator account seems to have the correct permission for the links to be visible. Did you follow the migration steps suggested by Oracle with the Migration tool and the other tools? Also, please check if you can add these missing Report Links to the reports that drill from the Action link.

SJenkins

yes I used the recommended Migration tool steps..

I've looked, but have not found a way to add the links to reports or to the action links..

the only workaround I have found is to delete the action links and drag the report directly onto the dashboard.. then the reports have the option to enable the links..

Souvik Sarkar

Yes, probably you have to recreate the Action Links in the 12c environment because the migration to 12c might have overwritten the Report Links parameter in all the Action Links with default settings.

SJenkins

even if I create a new one in 12c the links don't show up..

Joel Acha

Try to reset the values in 12c and see if they reappear

If they do, next thing is to understand why the setting is lost during the migration.

SJenkins

That worked.. looks like they were set to inherit.. I switched it to custom and they worked

Thanks, not sure why I didn't find that when I was looking before..
