How to create a prompt with default value as current_date?

Hello
I'd like to create a prompt on the dashboard that has current_date as the default value. Is it possible to achieve so?
Please provide any pointers..
Thank you

Unfortunately, no. Presentation variables are declared in a dashboard prompt (see page 44 of this link http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B40078_02/doc/bi.1013/b31767.pdf)
Any other type of workaround would not be worth the trouble of asking the developers to create the variable for you. One note, the current date may very well already be defined and just not known to you. Can you ask your developer if he/she has a variable that contains the current date or how long it would take to create one for you?
As a whole, it would be nice to have a set of "date" repository variables if you run Requests based on common date ranges (e.g., first day of current month, last day of current month, first day of quarter, last day of quarter, most recent end-of-year date, etc.) These can be very useful in automating reports so they don't require prompts. Of course, it depends on your organization and what you use OBIEE for...
We have built many such variables and it has been very valuable to the users and report builders. Just a thought...

How to create two prompts with same named object?

Hi to All,
I am a new user of OBIEE. Actually have only one column called creation date in my report. My requirement is in dashboard, I need to display two text boxes in same prompt with the name Beginning creation date and Ending Creation Date. Actually, I was able to do it with the operator "Between" but when i am doing it, I was not able to determine how can we get the values entered by the user for beginning date and ending date because both dates will get stored in the same prompt only (ie) in my "Creation date" prompt.
Also, I have an another question, In a single prompt I need to repeat the same object more than once. But When I tried it shows the error "same column exists.. so this action will be ignored". Please help.
Thanks in Advance,
Thenmozhi

Thenmozhi,
You can think about having 2 different prompts: the first one with the operator >= and the second <=.
For your second question you cannot have the same column in the same prompt more then once

Create pricing condition with default value in processing process field

hi all,
when i maintain the pricing conditions with vk11 or vk31, i want the price maintained is set default as blocked (the processing status field-KBSTAT). can it be done? i am using 4.6c.

You should try to use transaction variant
<i>Transaction variants simplify transaction flow by:
Inserting default values in fields
Changing the ready for input status of fields
Hiding various screen elements and menu functions, or even entire screens
Adjusting table control settings
When you create a transaction variant, you run through the transaction in a special mode. In this mode, you decide which elements you no longer need in your transaction and which values should be inserted where. If you choose to hide an entire screen, the system will no longer display that screen in the transaction and will proceed on to the next screen in the series. You can also adjust table control settings and determine the width of columns and the order in which you want them displayed. In tab strips, you can suppress tabs that you no longer need by setting them to invisible.
You may also create as many variants for a transaction as you desire. One of these variants can be defined as a standard variant. This variant is then valid across all clients. You may also assign different variants to specific users.
This is done using Variant Transactions. Variant transactions are then places in those users user menus instead of the standard transaction. </i>
To use this : Tools -> Accelerated SAP -> Personalization (transaction SHD0)

PROMPT WITH DEFAULT VALUES DOES NOT DISPLAY VALUES THE FIRST TIME

Hi,
With one of our scorecard reports, when you select a division, the leader role/leader prompt picklist values do not get populated the first time. Because this is only happening in reports we have written in house, we do not see this happening to the reports that are installed as default.
Is there any workaround known for this error.
Thanks and Regards

Hey can somebody please let me know how to go about this isssue ..

How to create new record with old values

Dear all
i have creation page with 45 fields are there
user will enter all the fields and save it will call to non editable mode

in that my requirement is user wont change among those ites(45 items)clcik on save again it will call to view mode
in that user will change any one of the value among 45 items and click on save button i need to create one more record in database
if user wont edit any one of the field out of 45 items i dont want to create new record in database
how can we achieve thsi functionality
Regards
Sreekanth

Hi Srikant,
When user may edit the record, the same row may get updated in vo. Thus over writing existing row instead of creating new row.
Approach1..
On the page where user may edit records, instead of presenting records of existing row, present copy of existing row. So
In AM... (Later on you can put vo logic to its proper place, i.e. vo java file)
public void viewPageCallSetup()
Row originalRow=vo.createRow();
Row dummyRowForEdit=vo.createRow();
//COPY THE ORIGINAL ROW TO DUMMY ROW. IF THERE IS DIRECT METHOD TO CREATE COPY OF EXISTING ROW, THAT MAY BE MUCH BETTER.
for(int i=0;i<vo.getAttributeCount()-1; i++)
dummyRowForEdit.setAttribute(i, originalRow.getAttribute(i));
vo.insertRow(dummyRowForEdit);
vo.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
vo.setCurrentRow(dummyRowForEdit);
call this method in contoller's processRequest..
string oid=pagecontext.getparameter("oid");
if(pageContext.getparameter("Purpose").equals("Edit")) //Means user clickED the edit button so we need to replicate the row
am. viewPageCallSetup(oid); //calling this method in am
else
In PFR...
if(pageContext.getparameter("Purpose").equals("Edit"))
am.xxcostedit(oid); //calling this method in am
in case user selects "Cancel" on edit form,we need to remove the duplicate row. So in AM write a method to remove the duplicate rowd on click of "Cancel" button on edit form.
Rest of the logic is same for "Save" button. Just say commit.

How to preset fields in TA BP with default values

Hi!
I want to fill few fields in transaction BP with default values.
This should be if there`s a new business partner to insert.
If i can do this depending on the selected role it was the best
First i thought on SPA/GPA-parameters ... but then i can`t do it in depence on the selected role.
In customizing i can tell only if a field should be displayed or not, for input or not, ... but no values to insert.
Is here anybody with a good idea for me?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards,
Ingo

Hi,
There is one possibility which requires an enhancement of the
BDT event ISDAT and a call to the function module
BUP_BUPA_FIELDVALUES_SET. This means that an ISDAT function module needs to be written (transaction BUS7) which calls the function module BUP_BUPA_FIELDVALUES_SET with the needed values that are to be defaulted. You can read the role value using BUS_PARAMETERS_ISSTA_GET (T_RLTYP).The fields which are possible can be found in the DDIC structure BUSDEFAULT. However this is limited only to the fields inside this structure.
Thanks and warm regards,

Prompt with Default date (Current Date)

Hi Experts,
I have WEBI Report With Calendar Date (0CALDAY) Object on a OLAP Universe (OLAP Universe built on SAP BW BEx Query).
I need to create a prompt on Calendar Date Object with default value as Current date (systemdate). I need to create this at universe level not at BEx level (No Exceptions).
Looking forward to hear from you.
-Thanks,
Deepu

Hi Ingo,
Thanks for your response.

But EXIT Variable has a DEFAULT value in BEx Designer. DEFAULT Value (Current system Date) is populated when a BEx Query is Run. How come it is not properly reflected into BOBJ?. It retrieves the data for Current system Date in BOBJ too when WEBI Query is run but it does not show Current system Date in prompt screen.
I hope you understand my problem.

Have you installed the Oracle rdbms software?
Installing Oracle and Building the Database
If you are going to be a professional DBA, you need to learn to
1) read the documentation
2) wean yourself from dependence on pictures and GUIs.
3) read the documentation
=================================================
Learning how to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
Go to docs.oracle.com.
Locate the link for your Oracle product and version, and click on it.
You are now at the entire documentation set for your selected Oracle product and version.
BOOKMARK THAT LOCATION
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab (for 10.x) or the "Master Book List" link (for 11.x) you will find the complete documentation library.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there.
Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
Do the same with the Utilities manual.
You don't have to read the above in depth. They are reference manuals. Just get familiar with what is there to be referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
- *Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual*.
- Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them (listed in your alert log) in the Reference Manual.
- Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
- *When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again*.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

Initialize some fields in material master with default values

Hi,
I would like to initialize some fields in material master MM01 with default values.
for exemple in the view MRP1 there is a field MRP type I would like to initialize PD in the field as default value.
but when I go to the technical information there is no parameter id that I can use in SU3.
Do you know how I can the initialize the field those don't have parameter ID?
thank
Dede

Dear Glenn,
This is possible in SAP for this use T code MMD1 and create MRP profile and assign this MRP profile while creating material using MM01 in the organisation level put this created MRP profile. The values you maintained in this profile get copied to the material by default.
To maintain MRP profile go to MMD1->give your profile name...........> click on selection screen push button--->give here profile description--->select what MRP field which u want to make fixed one/default. if make fixed later you can not change--
>click on data screen 1 push button and maintain your value and save

Before insert the V_NAME filed, i will be appending a VARCHAR field to the original data.

Is there way to have the temp table created with data in it along with the sequence value as well.
I'm using Oracle 10.2.0.4 version.
Edited by: 903948 on Dec 22, 2011 10:58 PMWhat you need to do to eliminate the INSERT statement is to -- as already suggested by others - eliminate the temporary table. You don't need it. It is just necessary overhead. Please explain why you (apparently) believe that the suggestion of a view will not meet your requirements.
