Passing OBIEE Dashboard Prompt values through URL(to Hyperion Financial Reports)

Sam999

Hi All,

We have a current requirement to open Hyperion Financial Reports(FR)  URLs from dashboard using the  OBIEE dashboard prompt values as selection for FRs.

We have done some registry changes in the action config file in OBIEE to invoke EPM action agent but without any success.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<obi-action-config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="afconfig.xsd">

    <aliases/>

    <registries/>

    <registry>

    <id>HDPreg</id>

    <name>Hyperion Directory Provider</name>

    <content-type>

      <typename>epm</typename>

      <displayname>Hyperion Applications</displayname>

      <actionType>URLActionType</actionType>

    </content-type>

    <provider-class>oracle.bi.action.registry.epm.HDPRegistry

    </provider-class>

    <description>Hyperion Financial Reports Registry</description>

    <location>

      <path>http://uwtatlepmweb01.uninet.unisourcelink.net:19000/workspace/browse/listXML</path>

    </location>

    <service-access>

      <account>EPM</account>

      <propagateIdentity>false</propagateIdentity>

    </service-access>

    </registry>

    <content-types> 

      <content-type>

        <typename>webservices</typename>

        <displayname>Web Services and BPEL Processes</displayname>

        <actionType>WebServiceActionType</actionType>

      </content-type>

      <content-type>

        <typename>misc</typename>

        <displayname>Mixed Services</displayname>

        <actionType>URLActionType</actionType>

      </content-type>

    </content-types>

  <accounts/>

</obi-action-config>

However, Can we pass the dashboard prompt values through a repository variable to a URL ?? This way we can configure the FR URL to accept dynamically the selected values from OBIEE dashboard.

Need some guidance on how to go about it in OBIEE.

Please advise.
