Error In Dashboard Prompt after navigation

Hi All,
Getting View Display Error while navigating using the Dashboard Page names..
Error Generating Drop Down Values

Please help me in resolving this..

Thats right...
Err..Ohk. Don't tell me that you are using Hierarchical columns and other attributes in same prompt (i.e. Single GO Button)
Like you have columns like Region-Country-State-City and say Category in same prompt where Region-Country-State-City is hierarchy in OBIEE RPD.
You will have to create 2 seperate prompts here to get it work.
Prompt 1: Region-Country-State-City (Constraint on each level)
Prompt 2: Category and other attributes
This will have 2 prompts so 2 GO button. No way you can achieve this in Single GO even if you change the XMLs and all.
This is OBIEE logic working behind pulling the common fact and also fetching hierarchical data based on level above i.e. constraints here...
Hope this clears your doubt. Or may be give the exact structure of your prompts.

Dashboard prompt filter navigating to different tabular reports

Hi,
I was able to implement this halfway.
My Dashboard prompt has 4 filters, the fourth filter has three drop down values.
"Report with Sales Amount"
"Report with Purchase Amount"
"Report with both Purchase and Sales"
when the user selects the first choice, it should navigate to my "SALES-REPORT" which is section2 of the dashboard page.
when the user selects the second choice, it should navigate to my "PURCHASE-REPORT" which is section3 of the dashboard page.
when the user selects the third choice, it should navigate to my "COMBINED-REPORT" which is section4 of the dashboard page.
All three are three entirely different report, so far with previous advice, i have created the Dashboard prompt and the presentation variable, but unable to proceed further.
Thanks for your time and help.

I will show you how to do it with one. Repeat for the other two reports.
1) Build a small report with any two CHAR columns. For the first column, click on the fx, copy the column name and then delete it. Type this: CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN (paste the column name you copied here) ELSE 'Report with Sales Amount' END. The second column leave as is. The reason for the second column is because OBIEE requires every report to have at least one column. Since we "dummied out" the first column, if you don't have another column, OBIEE will error.
2) Put a filter on the first column and set it to the Presentation Variable you had for the fourth column prompt (the one the users can select "Report with Sales Amount" from).
3) On your dashboard, drag the "SALES-REPORT" report to a section.
4) On this section, click on the Section Properties button (NOT the report Properties button!) and select Guided Navigation.
5) Browse to the small report you created in step 1) and click on the "when the report returns rows" radio button.
So what this does is this: When the user selects "Report with Sales Amount" from the dashboard prompt, it will produce a row on your small report. And because of this, the Guided Navigation of the section will display this report. When the user selects anything else, the small report will return no rows and this section will not display.
Repeat the above for the other two reports making the proper modifications.

NULL and Unspecified in Dashboard prompts after upgrading 10g to 11g OBIEE

Hi All,
We are working on OBI upgradation project from 10g to 11.1.1.6.5. We are facing one issue in Dashboard prompt level. If we can create Dashboard prompt on a column, its giving "NULL", "Unspecified" additionally. But, in 10g there are no extra values.
And the 10g, 11g instances are pointing to the same database and there are no NULL, Unspecified values in Database level.
Through some blogs and articles we found some solutions n are below.
To remove NULL:
-->Go to the Physical Column properties in Physical Layer and Disable the Nullable option by uncheck the box.
-->Go to the Database Features in Physical Layer and disable value to NULL_SUPPORTED.
-->Go to Edit Dashboard Prompt, in Choice List Values drop-down list select SQL Results.
To remove Unspecified:
-->Go to Edit Dashboard Prompt, in Choice List Values drop-down list select SQL Results, then write the SQL statements as columnname is not equals to "Unspecfied" ( In this way we can able to remove Null's also.)
-->Go to Content tab of LTS, in Where clause write an SQL query to restrict Unspecified values.
Note: CHeck with ETL, because if they maintains the Default value is Null when the Datatype is Character and they can maintain 9999 or #### if the datatype is Numeric. And check the Physical query and debug it carefully.
But, we have very big Repository and we have huge no.of Dashboard prompts. So, its not an easy thing to manage by using above solutions. Correct me if there are any mistakes in above.
Any ideas on this...?
Appreciate your help on this..!
Thanks in Advance,
Raghu Nagadasari

Hi Frnds,
As of now, i found the only solution for the above mentioned issue that how to avoid NULL in dashboard prompt level:
Go to the Physical Column properties in Physical Layer and Disable the Nullable option by uncheck the box.
We have done this manually for all tables.
Appreciate if u have any other ideas.!!
Thanks,

Error in date prompt after migrating from 5.x to XI R2

Hi,
We have migrated from 5.x to XiR2 SP5 and are facing a problem with the date input parameter.
Our users use DESKI , when they try to access thier reports based on Stored Procedure,and the reports having date prompt , they get an error.
In 5.x they used to enter the date as DD MON YYYY , in XIR2 they enter it as MM/DD/YYYY but still we get the error
"The variable is of type date enter its value in the format 9/17/2009 14:50:00 PM"
The users tried this too but still the same error persists. The Oracle.prm and Oracle.sbo file on teh users machine is the same as that of the server.
I am able to recreate this error after logging onto the server and opening DESKi there. This error is occuring only with Stored procedures that take date as input parameter
has anybody faced this issue before, any resolutions for this
Thanks in advance

Hi,
After analyzing this problem , what we found that no Stored Procedures that take user input are functioning, irrespective of teh datatype of the input prompt.
For all SPs that take user input we get an error saying

OBIEE(11.1.1.6.8) dashboard prompts "Please Wait" Problem after the automatic upgrade of browser

Hi all,
We have a problem in OBIEE(11.1.1.6.8) dashboard prompts after the upgrade of Chrome browser.. The values of dashboard prompts are not shown to user ( with message "Please wait" ) We had this problem in Internet Explorer 10. So we had announced the users to have minimum browser versions Chrome 12+ , Firefox 17+ , Internet Explorer 9.x as its is declared in certification matrix. Now after upgrade (automatically)in Chrome version 30.0.1599.101 m , we have the same problem and the only working browser remaining is Mozilla Firefox. What should we do to prevent this without upgrade or patch ? Is there any workaround ?
Thanks ...

Hi Team
I have been going through the guidelines and procedures to create a presentation variable to use it in the dashboard prompt ( mentioned in the previous blogs ) .I followed the below link :
http://oraclebi.blog.com/example-of-presentation-variable-in-obiee/
I am using the following query :
========================================================
SELECT case when 1=0 then "D2 Market"."M04 Region"
else 1
end
FROM "Sample Sales"
UNION ALL
select case when 1=0 then "D2 Market"."M04 Region"
else 2
end
FROM "Sample Sales"
=========================================================
I just wanted to create 2 dummy choices i.e 1 and 2 .But while soing so I am getting erros in the case statements :

Please suggest and let me know if there is any other method to have 2 chioces in drop down i.e 1 and 2 using SQL statements while creating the dashboard prompts.
Thanks

Hi Rachit
You answered my doubt.This one really works . Thanks a lot !
But i have one more doubt i.e if have created the Presentation variable in the dashboard prompt and I want to use it in a report
i.e the scenario is If I have created a new column i.e " Revised Salary " in the Presentation Services and want the values to be entered there dynamically upon end users choice. For ex the end user selecrts value of 1 then the report would display an increament of 500 to all the employees in the " Revised Salary " column and if the end user select value of 2 .. the report would display a decrement of 500 in the " Revised salary column".
I am getting the following error :
========================================================================
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 59001] Binary Logical operation is not permitted on VARBINARY, INTEGER operand(s). (HY000)

Dashboard Prompt - Getting error for Adding SQL query in "Default to"

Hello Oracle,
I am facing some problem in Dashboard Prompt. Like when i add some sql query in "Default to" in Dashboard prompt and for the next prompt when i check for Contrain option i get error in the second prompt. but it works fine when i hard-code a value in "Default to" options.
For Example:
Like when we consider a two prompts :
1) Year -> (In Default to i select SQL Query and enter the query as SELECT "YTD Dim"."Fiscal Year" FROM "YTD Report" WHERE "YTD Dim"."Fiscal Year" = Year(Current_Date)
2) Business Unit -> (In specific value i give as some hard code value of Business Unit and check the contrain option)
i get error as
Business Unit
Error Generating Drop Down Values
A numeric value was expected (received "SELECT "YTD Dim"."Fiscal Year" FROM "YTD Report" WHERE "YTD Dim"."Fiscal Year" = Year(Current_Date)"). Error Details
Error Codes: EHWH2A7E
but i get correct value for Year as 2011.
I need to use SQL query in default to option and need to check the constrain option too.
Looking for positive feedback.

You need to create a dashboard prompt and in Default To -> select SQL Results
Click on the ... (three dots ) underneath it and put in your sql
For Example , I have a Table called "Sales Date" in my "ABC" presentation folder. This has a column called "Year" and "Date". If I want to have a Year prompt with the default value set to current year, here is what the syntax of my sql result will be :-
SELECT "ABC"."Sales Date".YEAR
FROM "ABC"
WHERE "Date" = current_date
In SQL, we cannot put SQL as we know of in terms of Oracle, Sql Server etc. The SQL here refers to sql as OBIEE understands it and should be in the form of Select "Presentation foler"."Table Name".ColumnName from "Presentation Folder"
Hope this helps

Value Based user guided Navigation Using Dashboard Prompt

Hi all Experts,
I have a different dashboard pages and dashboards for each year sales and so on, like 2001,2002etc in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 answers and dashboard.
My requirement is using dashboard prompt for year need to navigate to that particular dashboard.
for example if I select 2001 should navigate to 2001 Dashboard
if I select 2002 should navigate to 2001 Dashboard.
and for another report for Top 10 Products if I select a product name should navigate to detail product report.
I am not getting idea using guided navigation link,
Please suggest me how we can implement this task into our report.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
my suggestion, don't that way..do the below things..
1) for year wise sales report.
keep artificial Time Dimension and try map Date column into all othe fact table and try to use time.date column in the dashboard prompt that prompt will list out all the year like (2001,2002..2020..etc) make this propmpt column should be is prompted in that Answres report --> date column
2) let Product wise report,
report 1 :Product Summary ( call u child report in the column properties -->Interaction--> value Primary interaction--> action link--> select bi content --select it u r report and save it run it.
report 2 :Product Detailed (this report navigation column make sure should be is prompted )
Thanks

Problem while passing parameters for dashboard prompts in URL

Hi,
We have created a dashboard on OBI which has some dashboard prompts. We have a requirement that we shall open the dashboard from an external application. We are doing this by invoking an URL. We want the dashboard to turn with prompts already being applied.
I was trying to open the dashboard with the following URL
http://<servername:port>/analytics/saw.dll?Go&PortalPath=/shared/Procurement%20and%20Spend/_portal/Supplier%20Performance&Page=Overview
But when I use the above Go URL the dashboard is not coming up. It shows the following error
No Columns
The request cannot be performed because it contains no columns.
When I use the following URL(which has the keyword 'Dashboard' not 'Go') the Dashboard is coming up fine
http://<servername:port>/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=/shared/Procurement%20and%20Spend/_portal/Supplier%20Performance&Page=Overview
There are dashboard prompt defined in dashboard. When I try to send the filter value via URL(given below) it is not working. I just see the Dashboard coming up.
http://<servername:port>/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&NQUser=Administrator&NQPassword=SADMIN&PortalPath=/shared/Procurement%20and%20Spend/_portal/Supplier%20Performance&Page=Overview&P0=1&P1=eq&P2=Supplier."Supplier%20Name"&P3=1+AccessMicron
when we use the keyword Dashboard in the URL , can we pass the parameter for the dashboard proimpt ..? If we can do that .. how to do that ..? Is it the same manner that we do for Go URL. ..?
Please let me know if you need any more information on this.
Thanks in advance for your time,
Raj Kumar

Hi Raj,
Raghu is correct, you need the Action=Navigate to make prompts work, otherwise you get move to the target dashboard without prompts.
I think you figured it out your self, but the ?Go is for Answer Requests and ?Dashboard is for navigating to dashboards.
I would also recommend using col1="COLUMN_NAME" and val1=value syntax instead of the P0,P1, etc, etc. It's a little easier to read and implement.
Try this:
http://<servername:port>/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&Action=Navigate&NQUser=Administrator&NQPassword=SADMIN&PortalPath=/shared/Procurement%20and%20Spend/_portal/Supplier%20Performance&Page=Overview&col1=%22Supplier%22.%22Supplier%20Name%22&val1=1+AccessMicron
Good luck!

Functionality of Constrain in Dashboard Prompt

Hi,
Created a Dashboard Prompt with 3 columns and enabled the option 'Constrain'. Now, I would like to alter the default functionality of this Constraint. How can I do this?
Thanks in Advance,
-Vency

Hi Casimo,
When I use check the 'Constrain' option in the Dashboard prompt able to restrict the values but some of the fields in the prompt are not populating.
I took 5 fields in the prompt and all are checked constrain. When I select a value in the first prompt, it is affecting correctly to the second prompt but results in no values to the other prompts. I have checked the log in Manage sessions and it is because of using second prompt previous value to populate the values in subsequent prompts.
Year || Quarter || Company || Account || Department
2007 || Q1, 2007 || C1 || Acc || Dept
When I change the year to 2008:
2008 || Q1, 2008 || -- || -- || --
According to log file, to generate Company, Account and Department prompts it using 'Q1, 2007' instead of 'Q1, 2008'. Here, it requires to press the GO button to populate the values correctly but need to implement without clicking GO.
This also causes another problem which I have posted previously Error during Navigation...
If I uncheck 'Constrain' option getting no error but need to get the constrain behaviour either this way or any other so that I can resolve the above issues.
Looks bit of complex... please let me know if your not clear... and it is a urgent deliverable for me..:(
Thanks for giving Reply,

Analysis prompt vs. dashboard prompt for setting presentation variable

I have a requirement to include a prompt on the analysis (not dashboard) to select a year. This sets a variable when is then used in Report A. I then use the variable for a column filter, which passes 3 parameters to Report B.
If doing this using a dashboard prompt, everything works as expected. The variable and other row items are used in Report A and passed to the Report B via a Navigate to BI Content Action Link. When using the analysis prompt to set the presentation variable Report A works but then I get this error when navigating to Report B.
An invalid object was accessed during evaluation.
Error Details
Error Codes: QBB4RZQS:SDKE4UTF

I have a report in which I use Oracle analytic functions. But I have to show only subset of all records because of analytic functions. In case of ListBox I use a presentation variable in a FILTER(expr1 USING expr2). How may I do this in case of multiselect prompt? It doesn't support presentation values.

Regarding Dynamic Dashboard prompts

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement like this.
In an underlying dimensional hierarchy say for example Time Dimension ...there are 3 calendars hierarchy..
1. gregorian
2. fiscal
3. business.
Each one will be having different number of levels also.
gregorian has 6..starts from Year->Halfyear->Quarter->Month->Week->Day
fiscal has only 4..starts from Year->Quarter->Month->Day
business has only 5..starts from Year->Quarter-> Month->Week->Day
Now the requirement is like this.... the customer wants to have the first prompt which should have these 3 calendars as values... and if they select Gregorian..then the values should go cascaded( cosntrain) to the next level of prompt..
if its gregorian next prompt values should be Half year...based on that, he then selects quarter, then month, week and day..
So here we need to give 6 prompts.
but if the user happens select fiscal ...then after selecting year the next prompt will be quarter...then month and day...so after the 4th level of prompt the last 2 prompts should be blank.
is there any way by which we can hide these last 2 prompts dynamically??
Note: All this is happening the requirement phase and we have not yet got the data to test this.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
D

Hi,
don't know a posibility to hide a column in a prompt, but here is a workaround...
create 4 prompts:
first prompt: type of calendar:
column:
case when 1 = 2 then Time.dummy else '' endwith show SQL results
select case when 1=2 then "Time".Dummy else 'gregorian' end from catalog
union all
select case when 1=2 then "Time".Dummy else 'business' end from catalog
union all
select case when 1=2 then "Time".Dummy else 'fiscal' end from catalogthis prompt will set a variable var_calendar
create another 3 prompts each with all columns that needed for specific type of calendar.
gregorian has 6..starts from Year->Halfyear->Quarter->Month->Week->Day
fiscal has only 4..starts from Year->Quarter->Month->Day
business has only 5..starts from Year->Quarter-> Month->Week->Day
In dashbord put each calandar prompt in different sections and use guided navigation to show only the calendar prompt that you need as selected by first prompt...
you will find here an example on how to use guided navigation
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/01/17/oracle-bi-101332-selecting-reports-from-dashboard-prompts-and-guided-navigation-sections/
you will use it to hide prompts..

Auto filter by selection of dashboard prompt or other workaround

Hi all,
I have 2 dashboard prompts, let's say a Product ID and Product Desc.
How can I force user to select Product ID?
How can OBIEE auto-select the Product ID after users has selected Desc? Is it possible by writing scripts?
I ask this because we have faced a case that when user only chooses Desc but left the PID empty, the performance will be very slow and abnormally consumes all the RAM on server which leads server error. Product ID is from essbase, Product desc is from oracle db.
Thanks a lot and let me know if need clarification ~

Can you explain more about how to use the 'advanced' filtering which depends on another subquery?
Since I have tried to create a filter on the main report (Report A), which is depending on another report's query result (Report B). E.g. Report A's Product ID is 'equals or in' Product ID in report B, I have also set it as "is prompted".
Besides, I set a dashboard prompt on Report B, e.g. filter on product ID and Product desc. I put Report A and B together on the same dashboard page, put the Product ID and Product Desc as a prompt on that.
So now, PID and PDesc prompts will affect Report A and Report B.
My Wish is, even users only select filter on "Product Desc" --> Report B will be filtered and show corresponding and filtered "Product ID" --> use this list of product ID to filter Report A to limit the result.
However, it fails. Report A will filter the product ID by the 'original' saved version of Report B in Answers. That means 'no filtered' on Product ID. (As Report B I saved contains the product ID column of "is prompted" only.)
If friends here understands my question, or you have faced the same case, how can I solve it? Any workaround !?
Thank a lot !
