Hi ,

We have implemented writeback.

As our updates are taking time.User are not able to figure out whether the apply button has worked or not and they hit the apply button multiple times

Can Anyone help me understand(steps) how we can display a pop up box saying 'Updates is being applied please wait' on click of apply button while doing writeback in OBIEE dashboard.

Does this need a change in the product code,or can we do something at dashboard level to achieve this functionality.

IF I click on inspect button on google chrome it gets referred to a function.

Does the below need any changes

onclick="obipswb.Grid.WriteBack(event, 'saw_2216_5','saw_2216_6', '');return false" .

Any help would appreciated

Thank You

    Code. Write-back was never intended for anything but the smallest, most minuscule changes and is about as far away from a data entry solution as you can get. If you need anything more than "Enter some. Save it.", like validation or interaction like messages, then write-back is the wrong tool.

    APEX however is free with every database installation and is precisely the tool for data entry, validaton etc.

    Plus: If you mess with the code you're sure to destroy more than help in the long run. Especially in you're thinking about patching and upgrading.

    Hi Christian,

    Thanks for the reply. Isn't it a valid thing to ask for some sort of message ,or at least the apply button getting disabled after one click of it,so that the user are not able to hit it back.

    May be an enhancement would be a fairer thing to ask.

    Thanks

    Not from "Writeback", no. It was written during the Siebel days which means very early 2000s and never enhanced since then.

    Yes, you can raise an ER, no problem. But realistically and looking at the real "development" - i.e. non.development - of that part of the product over very literally the last 15 years  raising an ER is a waste of time.
