Connection error after upgrade to 4.1

Omar M. SawalhahMar 15 2015 — edited Mar 19 2015

Hi -

I have upgraded to 4.1 EA2, but when I connect to 12c pluggable database, which was previously working fine with older version, I am getting the following error.

"An error was encountered performing the requested operation:  IO Error: Invalid connection string format, a valid format is: "host:port:sid"   Vendor code 17002"

Regards,

Omar

If you inspect the HTML behind the "columns format" of your prompts you will see each columns of prompts his a <td> of a main table. So you can add some custom CSS to change alignment and size of that main table and the 4 <td>.

You can probably also try a less "clean" solution like adding lot of spaces in front of the longer label of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th columns to "push" the others columns a bit more.

There aren't lot of available settings for how prompts must look like, but it's HTML, so with JS or CSS you can change the way it looks like...

I would only advice to not make anything too complicated also because you have the risk the HTML code change with a future release of OBIEE.

Also try to just align the prompts centrally, they will maybe look a bit better with less empty space on the left.

I managed to make checkboxes go horizontal instead of vertical using JS/CSS a while back but unfortunately every time I changed the value in a prompt it would refresh them and not redo my JS. I stopped there because I was doing it more for interest rather than anything else.

@"Daniel Willis" : time to move to 11.1.1.9, horizontal checkboxes / radio buttons are there out of the box (Rittman Mead Consulting » OBIEE 11.1.1.9: New Features for Front-End Developers and Business Users > "Horizontal Layout for Radio Button and Check Box Dashboard Prompts")

To spread out between columns in PROMPTS, is possible to add a character that is not visible but takes up space (normal space is ignored), use alt + 255.

While holding down the alt key, write 255 in the numeric keypad (on the right). Release the alt between each character.
