Hi everyone.
We have some questions during our solutions design regarding Webi and BEx query integration as below.
Current system is BOXI 3.1 using Xcelsius Dashboard 2008.
Current system design covers some layers including Xcelsius Dashboard -> Live Office -> Web Intelligence -> Universe -> BEx Query.
This seems to be a little bit messy but there is somehow a constrain that we should not change this data flow.
We need to create one new dashboard which the information represents on the dashboard will be vary identified by the username who has logged on to the BO system and access the dashboard.
In the table of data, there is a field for 'username'. So we can use this field as a characteristics on BEx query or dimension in Webi. However, we still need to pass 'username' value from the Xcelsius Dashboard to Webi Report or BEx query to used as a filtered value before returning data related to only that username to display in the dashboard.
Our question is: is it possible to pass the value of 'username' who has logged on to the system and access the dashboard to the Webi that is connected to Dashboard using Live Office. And then, in Webi, we will use that 'username' value to filter only relevant data to return.
Of course, all of these consideration are done transparently so that users will not be notified of any pop-up prompt or any manual input.
Thanks a lot.
