HTML Encoding in OBIEE 12C


I'm new to OBIEE since a few weeks and got stumbled upon a problem: I created an action link "Navigate to a web page" to another page of my dashboard. I used this because I want to pass arguments from different prompts and columns (which I think is not possible via Navigate to BI content). When I define the parameters I have linked all the values to the appropriate columns. In one column I look up the full name of a persion in this format: "Surname Name". What OBIEE does when showing the results is creating two different values: "Surname" and "Name" divided by a semicolon which results in my analysis not working (obviously).

I looked in the url and right now it passes the argument as following &val5=%22Surname%22+%22Name%22 and I know it should be &val5=Surname%20Name.

How can I fix this?

Thanks!


Solution

  • Use "Navigate to BI content" --> This passes all prompted content and presentation variables. Then put up the right filters so no need for the HTML encoding.
