Including a variable in cmax

This is a very simple one... but it is slowly driving me mad.
I have some data, i want to know the maximum, but i want to go through several channels so i'm using a variable for my channel number....
Option Explicit 'Forces the explicit declaration of all the variables in a script.
dim data
dim maxval
dim minval
data = "ch(" " [1]/[2] " " ) "
maxval=CMax("&data& " )
minval=CMin(ch("&data& " )
I get an error of " An invalid text operand is used within the index operation of the formula CHNMAXVAL(0) : "
I've tried various syntaxes and it still won't work...
(i added in some spaces on this post to stop the code being full of smiley faces)
cheers.

Hello Tom!
Keep it simple and try this:
Option Explicit
dim data
dim maxval
dim minval
data = "[1]/[2]"
maxval=CMax(data)
minval=CMin(data)

Open URL including a variable

I want to open a specific URL in Safari which has to be like this: +http://website.com/variableothertext
where variable is a variable I created before. I tried the action "Obtain specified text", linked to "Show webpage", but I can't figure how to include my variable into the text field of "Obtain specified text", since when I try to drag that variable into it, it simply creates an "Obtain variable value" action.
What should I do instead?

How to include a variable in a formula calc

Hi,
I need to do some calc formula to help my report but I encounter a problem.
I use this formula to erase some data from my channel but the formula don't reconize my variables.
R4 = CMax(Ch("[1]/TRAVEL_DISTANCE"))
Call DataBlDel("[1]/TRAVEL_DISTANCE_SMT",ChnFind("Ch(""[1]/TRAVEL_DISTANCE"")>R4",1),2000,1)'... ChnNoStr,ChnRow,ValNo,ValDelOnly , but the formula for the ChnRow don't see the variable R4, and if I put " before R4( to make R4 green) I receive an error : Expected ')'.
Please tell me how I can use a variable in a formula , so the formula can see it.
Thanks
Solved!

Hi marse,
The smiley face inserted by the text editor got in our way. If you replace the smiley face in my reply with a "close-parenthesis" character, then the code will run correctly. I have to admit, though, that there does appear to be a logic error, despite the fact that the code ran correctly on the data set I tried it with. But finding the row of the peak is something you can do less ambiguously and more easily with the PNo() function:
R4 = CMax(Ch("[1]/TRAVEL_DISTANCE")) Row = PNo("[1]/TRAVEL_DISTANCE", R4)Call DataBlDel("[1]/TRAVEL_DISTANCE_SMT", Row, 2000, 1)

Using include with variables (String)?

Is it possible to include a *.jspf page from a variable (string)?
I'm currently trying something like this, but I know it isn't quite correct (the PAGE string is already defined):
<%@ include file="${PAGE}" %>I'm sure this is simple, but I'm pretty new to using JSP (I'm used to normal Java classes and the JSP syntax can be confusing at first...).
Thanks!

Ok, you're mixing up your EL expressions with scriptlet variables.
These things are not the same.
String PAGE = "pages/home.jspf"; decleares a scriptlet variable called PAGE
You can normally access it using the scriptlet expression tag like <%= PAGE %>
${PAGE} is an EL expression.
The EL variables are stored as attributes in the page, request, session and application scopes.
So ${PAGE} will not give you the value of the scriptlet variable Page.
${PAGE} is approximately equal to pageContext.findAttribute("PAGE") in java.
Probably the easiest fix would be to use a scriptlet expression rather than an EL expression.
<jsp:include page="<%= PAGE %>"/>The better fix would be not to use any scriptlet code at all in your JSP, and maybe just use the JSTL conditional tags.
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<c:set var="PAGE" value="${requestScope.page}"/>
<c:if test="${empty requestScope.page}">
<c:set var="PAGE" value="pages/home.jspf"/>
</c:if>
<jsp:include page="${PAGE}"/>
//or
<c:import url="${PAGE}"/>Cheers,

10g default footer including server variable

Hi Experts,
I need to solve the following task and I am not sure how to do that (using a BIEE 10g version):
When printing a single report or dashboard page, my customer would like to see the following information attached to every single report:
a) a timestamp when the report was printed (not refreshed in BIEE)
b) a value of a server variable telling when the data in the report has been updated (the variable is defined in the repository)
How do I get these 2 values into a report footer?
Is there a way to define a default footer including the 2 values?
Thanks for your help
Regards
Andy

Hi Andy,
This might be of help for you http://varanasisaichand.blogspot.com/2010/02/adding-footer-view-to-reports-in.html
If this doesnt work you take a variable into a column in the report and when printing the report make sure take into consideration. Instead of printing time you can go for the report executed time in the title check for data and time.
hope helps you.
Cheers,
KK

How to include the variable as a part of the sqlStatement in doGet Servlet

How can I get the variable empnum as a part of the sqlStatement. I am getting an error.
String empnum = req.getParameter("empnum"); --Works
out.println("THE empnum IS : " + empnum); -- Works
String dsJndi = "jdbc/OracleCoreDST"; -- Works
String sqlStatement = "select from HR_TABLE where HR_EMP_NUM=empnum";* - Works if empnum is hardcoded.
Thanks so much for the help in advance
KA

Thanks John..! Opened my eyes ;)
Was a bit reluctant with the users repeated basic questions - my bad and apologies.
It should have been
String sqlStatement = "select * from HR_TABLE where HR_EMP_NUM=?";
PreparedStatement pt = c.prepareStatement(sqlStatement);
pt.setInt(1, Integer.parseInt(empnum));
ResultSet rs = pt.executeQuery();though the 1st solution works..!

How to Include Date variables in the Attachments sent via ibots

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement that when i configure an i-bot , i need to get a mail with attachment as an excel say "attname".This is fine,but how to customize such that the attachment contains date variables like "attname_24April2010" when recipients receive the mail?
Also if this is possible then when i open the attachment, then it should have the title with report name and date variables? Can we achieve this?

You can put varables in several views in OBIEE (e.g., Narrative, Title, etc.). BTW, in the Title View, you can also use built-in variables that display the run date and time.

Can a view include a variable

So what I'm trying to do is create a modified version of a view that can accept a date range when run. I have come across references to "parameterized views" and views using "context variables". Can someone help me understand the difference between the two and which approach is better for my situation?
Here is a sample of one working view (there are dozens):
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW "VF_PAYLOAD_BYMONTH"
("FACTORY_ID", "MONTH", "LOADS",
      "TTL_BIDTONS", "AVGBIDPAYLOAD",
      "TTL_ACTTONS", "AVGACTPAYLOAD") AS
(select FACTORY_ID, to_number(to_char(DT,'MMYYYY')), SUM(LDS),
      SUM(TTL_BID_TONS), AVG(AVG_BID_TONS), SUM(TTL_ACT_TONS), AVG(AVG_ACT_TONS) from
(select j.FACTORY_ID, c.DATE_INDEX as DT, COUNT(j.LOAD_JOB_ID) as LDS,
        SUM(DECODE(r.BID_TONS,0,NULL,r.BID_TONS)) as TTL_BID_TONS,
        AVG(DECODE(r.BID_TONS,0,NULL,r.BID_TONS)) as AVG_BID_TONS,
        SUM(DECODE(w.SPOT_WEIGHT,0,j.MAN_SPOT_WT,w.SPOT_WEIGHT)) as TTL_ACT_TONS,
        AVG(DECODE(w.SPOT_WEIGHT,0,j.MAN_SPOT_WT,w.SPOT_WEIGHT)) as AVG_ACT_TONS
     from TC c, TC_LOAD_JOBS j, LOAD_RATES r, SPOT_WEIGHTS w
    where c.TC_ID = j.TC_ID and j.LOAD_RATE_ID = r.LOAD_RATE_ID and r.YARD = 0
      and c.DATE_INDEX = w.DATE_INDEX and j.LOAD_RATE_ID = w.LOAD_RATE_ID
    group by j.FACTORY_ID, c.DATE_INDEX)
group by FACTORY_ID, to_number(to_char(DT,'MMYYYY')))
/This is what I am after:
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW "VF_PAYLOAD_BYMONTH"
("FACTORY_ID", "MONTH", "LOADS",
      "TTL_BIDTONS", "AVGBIDPAYLOAD",
      "TTL_ACTTONS", "AVGACTPAYLOAD") AS
(select FACTORY_ID, to_number(to_char(DT,'MMYYYY')), SUM(LDS),
      SUM(TTL_BID_TONS), AVG(AVG_BID_TONS), SUM(TTL_ACT_TONS), AVG(AVG_ACT_TONS) from
(select j.FACTORY_ID, c.DATE_INDEX as DT, COUNT(j.LOAD_JOB_ID) as LDS,
        SUM(DECODE(r.BID_TONS,0,NULL,r.BID_TONS)) as TTL_BID_TONS,
        AVG(DECODE(r.BID_TONS,0,NULL,r.BID_TONS)) as AVG_BID_TONS,
        SUM(DECODE(w.SPOT_WEIGHT,0,j.MAN_SPOT_WT,w.SPOT_WEIGHT)) as TTL_ACT_TONS,
        AVG(DECODE(w.SPOT_WEIGHT,0,j.MAN_SPOT_WT,w.SPOT_WEIGHT)) as AVG_ACT_TONS
     from TC c, TC_LOAD_JOBS j, LOAD_RATES r, SPOT_WEIGHTS w
    where c.TC_ID = j.TC_ID and j.LOAD_RATE_ID = r.LOAD_RATE_ID and r.YARD = 0
      and c.DATE_INDEX = w.DATE_INDEX and j.LOAD_RATE_ID = w.LOAD_RATE_ID
      and c.DATE_INDEX between :X and :Y   <----- ADDED THIS
    group by j.FACTORY_ID, c.DATE_INDEX)
group by FACTORY_ID, to_number(to_char(DT,'MMYYYY')))
/What I'd like to do is place a date range on the underlying query. The user wants two versions of the report: one that grabs everything by month and one that grabs everything by month but only within a certain date range.
PS. If this is possible, how do I "call" the view?

re Centinul : This is actually getting called using a procedure in APEX to generate a report. The entire report consists of one or more of these procedures: each one calculates a year's worth of metrics related to a given category and the data comes from a variety of source tables. I used views to ease the creation of the procedures, but maybe that's the wrong way to go. The thing is that the data has to be condensed (the view) then translated from rows into columns (handled in SQL in procedure) because I am on 10g (I don't have the PIVOT capability in 11g which would REALLY help simplify these reports a LOT). Putting it into views makes it easier to keep track of what is going on.
re Ajay Sharma, bluefrog, and AP: Yes, I saw those. Spent half an hour on AskTom, but the thing I didn't see was just a basic explanation of purpose and how to use it. The articles I saw kind of skipped that part, which was why I was asking here for an explanation.
re Frank Kulash: Thanks for the detailed explanation. As the view is going to be referenced from APEX, which shares a common execution user, I am questioning whether the parameterized approach would work at all, but I would appreciate input. It is looking more and more like I am going to have to incorporate the view directly into the procedure, as I will likely have more than one user attempting to access this report at the same time.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Here is the query being used in the procedure. Please understand that this is one of the simple ones: several of the other views are composites formed from two, three, or even four base views. Manageability quickly becomes a major concern here.
cursor c_PYLD_TARGET is SELECT NVL(SUM(CASE WHEN MONTH = to_number('08'||(v_dt-1))
          THEN AVGBIDPAYLOAD END),0) as "AUG",
        NVL(SUM(CASE WHEN MONTH = to_number('09'||(v_dt-1))
          THEN AVGBIDPAYLOAD END),0) as "SEP",
        NVL(SUM(CASE WHEN MONTH = to_number('10'||(v_dt-1))

How can I include a captivate variable in the URL of the website widget?

I am using the website widget to bring up some customized content during the course.
The URL contains a variable which will be different for every user.
I can't find the option of including a variable in the URL with the widget.
Has any figured out how to accomplish this?

I am using Cp8.
I publish in both swf and html5 formats so that the course functions on all device platforms.
A swf only solution would preclude IOS since it doesn't support flash.

Discoverer Plus - How to include variable text in the Title

Hi,
I need to include a variable text in the report like the user information or another information i woul like to obtain from a query that is not the standars date,time,... oracle discoverer plus improves us.
I tried with calculations associates to a parameters, but is not possible.
I hope i explained correctly.
Thanks,

This can be done by creating a parameter, then a calculation, then a condition. Then under "Edit Header" or Page Setup, choose "Header" or "Footer"as needed and choose to insert the Parameter.
Step by step Example instruction:
1-Create a parameter as follows:
--Item = NONE
--Name = "Workbook run by" (This will appear in the heading or title when workbook run)
--Prompt = "Please enter UserID in all capital letters"
--Description and Default value left blank
2-Create a Calculation
--In New Calculation choose "Function" then choose the function "USER" from Database. (This is all that the calculation will need.)
--Name Calculation = i.e.: "DB_USERID"
3-Create a condition as follows:
--Name = Request_UserID
--Item = DB_USERID
Condition = IN
Value = Choose parameter: Workbook run by
-Double click on worksheet title, choose Insert, then choose Parameter (This can be done the same way under Page Setup for Header and Footer
-The calculation will create an extra column which I put at the top as a Page Item
-This will force the user to enter the UserID they are logged in to Discoverer with.
-This is case sensative. Therefore, since all Databe IDs are stored on the Database in all-caps, then the user will have to enter in all caps as well.
Thanks,

Surely you have to? You can hardly SELECT INTO a constant. Perhaps I'm missing something,

Include variables in excelsheet sent from Broadcaster

when I mail the report as a excel attachment - is there any way I can include the variable's that have been passed thru variant be displayed in the excelsheet - just like the way we get when we do a PDF - default print version- with all the variables, dynamic and static filters.

Appreciate if anyone can throw some light on it
