Hi Experts,
I am BW|BPS Consultant, and i am new to BOBJ. We have a developed a dashboard by using Live Office connection, and source is Webi report.
But my dashboard is not getting updated data automatically, for this we are refreshing dashboard every day manually.
I want to do this automatically. While opening dashboard it has to show updated data.
Please suggest me how to come across with this issue. If possible please provide Navigation.
Thanks in advance
Best Wishes,
PRK

As suggested by Shabnam we can use the scheduling of the webi on daily basis.
However if you do not want any manual intervention and dasboard are to be displayed on the LCDs then you might try to use refresh after every 10 minutes option so that it keeps on pinging the server and shall never time out.This would work only in case when you export the dashboard to pdf or swf.

Hi Praveen,
In the above screenshot that you have mentioned, you selected the option "Refresh before components are loaded". Instead select the 22nd one "Refresh Every", give the time as 1day. In "Refresh on" option map the trigger cell to a cell in your excel in which you have to write "=Today()".
In this way this webi report will be refreshed on daily basis automatically without any manual refresh (as date in the trigger will be changing daily).
Try this and let me know if you are struck somewhere.

Hi Praveen,
Once check the webi report whether it is refreshing properly when you open it. It should not prompt for the database credentials when you refresh it. If it works then in dashboard also it will refresh automatically for sure whenever you open the dashboard as you already selected the "Refresh Before Components are Loaded" option.
Suppose the webi report is prompting for database credentials while refreshing then Goto CMC->right click on your webi Report->Data base Logon->pass same database credentials for refershing, and in Refresh Options->uncheck "prompt user when refreshing" option. After checking for these options insert the report once again into the report and ckeck whether it works fine now..
use a hidden connection refresh button to refresh the connections after components are loaded.

Hi Das/Suman
Thanks for your valuable links.
Links which you have shared is not relevant to my issue. We are using BO 4.0, Xcelsius 2011.
My Dashboard is build on Webi report by using Live Office Connection. And Webi report is created on BW-Bex Query. And my end users are viewing the Dashboard by using BI Launchpad.
When ever user opens dashboard it has to update with latest data.
Please suggest me how to update with latest data in dashboard while opening.

Hi Praveen,
The logic will be the same irrelevant of the version. If i understood your question correctly, you are trying to refresh the dashboard automatically without any manual intervention after invoking the dashboard using live office connection.
Last reply in the above suggested thread, he has explained how to do that.

Hi Praveen
You can schedule your webi report on daily basis and while adding Live office connections in Dashboard please choose refresh as 0 or getFromLatestDocumentInstance. This is with reference to qaaws built on webi report.
I think same option should be available for live office also.

Hi Shabnam,
Thanks for your quick reply.
As of my knowledge that option is available for only QAWS. In LO there is another option called "Refresh before components are loaded". My components are not getting refreshed even though that option is enable. Please refer screen shot.
Please let me know if i am wrong.
Regads,

Hi Praveen
"Refresh before components are loaded" option is also available for Qaaws this will only load data to components beforing opening dashboard. It shows what ever data is avialable in webi at that point of time.
please check under defination tab --> Input value. I think it should be avialable for LO as well.

Shabnam
Hi Praveen
Refer to below document, it explains clearly how to enable refresh for live office automatically.
Pg-11.
There are two tabs in object properties --> refresh you can modify refresh option in this tab.
Hope this solves your automatic refresh issue.
Regards
Shabnam
