Hi,

We see that writeback in our one of OBIEE dashboard doesn't work often .

After we update the field and press apply or done it returns back with no value, meaning no value in the field. This is using Administrator account and permission is all fine. We have seen that it works sometimes too.

in server log, i see below message.

<writeBackResponse statePath="d:dashboard~p:5umfsqmk9j2b492k~r:thh00oh0mqb8ttqm~v:compoundView!1~v:tableView!1" tableId="saw_3245_4" type="update"><success/></writeBackResponse>[[

Any inputs is appreciated.

    Have you tried testing the same insert / update statement directly against the DB when it fails to rule out data types / lengths / constraints etc as an issue?

    And at the risk of repeating myself (1 minute before Christian ) have you thought of using Apex or similar tool that is fit for purpose for data insert / manipulation - writeback is a crock...

    Hi!

    Thanks. Yes, tried update against the DB directly , it works.

    regarding other tools, not yet.

    Thanks

    And do you get anything in the log when it fails?

    And is caching off for the analysis with the writeback?

    And are all other things equal when it works and doesn't work; - user, browser, data?

    I see above in the log.

    And are all other things equal when it works and doesn't work; - user, browser, data? Yes, that is correct. All other things equal.

    Below is our Writeback XML.

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

    <WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1">

    <WebMessageTable lang="en-us" table="Messages" system="WriteBack">

    <writeBack connectionPool="PLMA_CP">

    <update> UPDATE HRBL_PPM_WRITEBACK_D SET PM_NOTES='@{cb8485dcc848ed301}',ALERT='@{c0d191abea9d518a9}' WHERE ACTIVITY_NO='@{c685ec171e5828393}' </update>

    </writeBack>

    </XML>

    </WebMessage>

    </WebMessageTable>

    </WebMessageTables>

    Thanks

    Also, what version of OBIEE are you using?

  • Robert Angel

    One other thought, can you also use something in your analysis or browser 'developer features' so you can see the values of '@{c685ec171e5828393}' at runtime?

    This is definitely a failure to update being logged??

    type="update"><success/></writeBackResponse>[[
