Presentation Variable in obiee 11g
Hi all ,
I had a dashboard report with year , quarter , month and order type name as prompts .
Now my client requirement is , when order type name is "Ord" , the reports with order type name starting with 'ORD" should be displayed.
In simple i know we will use " Like" operator .
But now my problem is we have to assign a presentation variable for order type name.
So can some one tell me how to add a presentation variable in OBIEE 11g , i tried in web , but none of it helped me to finish the job ,, since i am very new to obiee can some one please explain me in non technical language
Thank you for your help
Hi Jay , Thank you very much for reply , now i got a little idea , but few doubts abt ur reply .
Yes i will edit dashboard prompt and assign a like operator and will save the prompt , but when editing the report , you said to apply a filter *LIKE @{presentation_variable}{default_value}%*
In the above what will be in place of presentation_variable and what should be in default_value.
I have tried it in this way : Like @{Sales Order Lines Order Type Name} , where Sales Order Lines Order Type Name is my dashboard prompt .
but it didn't worked when i have given 'Ord' in dashboard prompt the error says: Sales Order Lines Order Type Name is LIKE (pattern match) ord

Using presentation variable in OBIEE 11g
Hi,
Is is possible to use a prompt to filter data from two sections of a dashboard?
My dashbaords contains two sections , each pointing to seperate reoport. Can I filter data in the two reports using parameter selected in one prompt?
If not possible , the wht is the way to achieve this.
Thanks and Regards
SantoshThanks Rondo,
In our project we have e-Biz Oracle ERP application where actuals are captured. Customer is using a third pary tool called Neotix to buid RPD automatically based on Database (oracle) of this application.
Nw we are building new application for planning and budgeting in Hyperion prodicut by oracle where Database is Essbase. I will be creating an RPD for budget/planning reports based on Essbase data source.
For creating on report for Actual Vs Budget, I need to have both Actuals data from e-Biz and Budget data from Hyperion comming out of one RPD.
So I want to merge those two RPDs and build by Actual vs Budget report based on the Business model from this merged RPD.
I want to understand hw to build the buisness model in the merged RPD so that I can get the acutal and budget data together in the same report using Answers. I am using OBIE 11g.
Please tell me wht should be my reporting strategy for achieving this. Can I create single business model for two dataa source which I will import in phyisical layer? How Do I join the two data sources in my RPD, in the business model? What are the challanges to do this kind of model in the merged RPD. ? Do u think there will be challanges to joing Essbabase members (since it is multidimensional cube ) with e-Biz data source in physical layer?
If I build multiple subjects area (one for e-Biz datasouce and another for Essbase data souce) what modeling steps, I need to implement in presentation layer of the merged RPD?
In answers how to I build report so that actual and budget data can be displayed together? Are there any technical challanges to implement such report in Answer? If yes, then what are the ulternative approaches?
I came to know that if it is not possible to get both actual and budet data together in one report, then I should build a dashboard with two sections , and build two reports (one for actuals data and another for dudget data ) and then place one report in one section and another section in another section in the dashboard. Is it a good approach? Is there any better approach?
I want to use one prompt to filter data for actuals and budget . eg. for year 2012, I want to dislpay Actuals as well as Budet values?
Please provide your expert inputs...
Thanks and Regards

Constraints for presentation variable in obiee 10g
Hello Guys,
What are the constraints for presentation variable in obiee 10g?
requirement: I am unable to find the variable option, when i selects CONTAINS operatior, during creating the prompt.Hi,
In 10g, a dashboard prompt can only set presentation variables when you use the "is equal to/is in" operator. Also, it is not available in case of MultiSelect prompt.
Refer to the below thread for some alternate solutions:

Data and Dashboard Security using ROLES Variable in OBIEE 11g
Hi all,
I'm currently using OBIEE 11g. I'm wondering how to implement the security for data and dashboard in the 11g.
Below is the sample of how the security matrix requirement when I use the 10g version. In 10g, we usually use GROUP (for the data filter in RPD) and WEBGROUPS (for dashboard objects) variables in my initialization block to read from database. As we have 2 different variables, it is possible to control security separately for data and dashboard.
GROUP | Country
G1 | US
G2 | FR
G3 | UK
WEBGROUPS | Dashboard
WG1 | D1
WG2 | D1
WG3 | D1
WG1 | D2
WG2 | D2
WG1 | D3
WG3 | D3
WG3 | D4
Now, in 11g, the recommendation is to use ROLES variable (for application role). So, how would I apply the required security matrix above in 11g using just ROLES variable? Do I still create G1, G2, G3, WG1, WG2, and WG3 as application roles then only use G1-3 in the RPD to filter the data and only use WG1-3 in the analytics to serve as webgroups?
Any advice on this? Thank you very much."...Could you elaborate more?"
I mean that role creation and user->role assignment will be managed outside of to the obiee interface - whether that's via the database, LDAP, fmw etc.
Webgroup creation and assignment is managed within the obiee interface and I think that has a lot of benefits - generally you have people responsible for shared folders and dashboard creation, so having them responsible for webgroups and presentation permissions is preferable for me.
"are you saying that I use the role G1-3 only in the RPD, while using the role WG1-3"
Yes .. I'm assuming you have something like
G1 | US
G2 | FR
G3 | UK
WG1 | Finance
WG2 | Marketing
WG3 | Sales
Which becomes
R1 | US
R2 | FR
R3 | UK
R4 | Finance
R5 | Marketing
R6 | Sales
And John belongs to R1 and R4, Fred belongs to R2 and R4 etc. So you would set your data filters against R1-R3 and use R4-R6 like webgroups in the presentation services.

Hi All,
I have created a dynamic repository variable that gives the current date. The date is given in the following format 'MM/DD/YYYY'. This is format that I want the date to appear in. In the presentation catalog, I have created a presentation variable dashboard promt called StartDate, that defaults to the repository variable CurrentDate. I have also created a report that has a number of measures filtered in different ways. If we take one of the measures in the report, what I have done is edited the formula to filter the measure by reported_date>Date'@{StartDate}'.
Now when I got and see my dashboard I get an error, 'Datetime value 06/07/2011 from 06/07/2011 does not match the specified format'. However when I click 'Apply' on the prompt, the error does not appear and it just says that there is no data for this report.
Can someone please help me solve this problem?
Thanks,
NikitaI solved this issue by using steps listed here http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/cast_as_date.

How to pass the values to stored proc using presentation variable in OBIEE
Need your help regarding in resolving an issue in OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1
There are 6 reports say ‘A’,’B’,’C’,’D’,’E’,’F’ in the same subject area.
The reports are being configured with prompts using either the repository/presentation variables.
One of the reports say ‘A’ has been configured to pass the values using presentation variables from the prompt in Advanced Tab of the report request to the stored procedure defined in the Execute Before Query section of the connection pool.
After running another report ‘B’ in the same subject area, upon visiting the report ‘A’ view display error is being seen ( Please have a look below screen shot for your reference) .
Speculate the issue is around presentation variables of report ‘A’ getting initialized even before running the report.
Appreciate your earliest advise as this is a prod issue.Hi Prasad,
I got your note, you should not use Session variable syntax to call presentation variable.
you should use like @{AIC_PROJ_PLAT_SEQ_NO}
One more thing: first test the variable AIC_PROJ_PLAT_SEQ_NO value then try to pass to SP.
Hope this helps -

Issue with Presentation Hierarchy in obiee 11g
Hi Guru's
I am using a presentation hierarchy in obiee 11 g, but it is behaving weirdly when expanding the hierarchy
for example i have a hierarchy for languages when i expand one country in the hierarchy all the countries which has similar childs are getting expanded
for Example Parent A B C D
under A i have 1, 2,3,4, under B i have 5,6,7,8 under C i have 9, 10 ,11, 12 under D i have 1, 13, 14, 15
so when i expand A in answers D is also getting expanded as i have 1 as common value in both the parents.
can some please help me how to fix this, as the user does not like this expansion
Thanks in advance,That is strange... I downloaded the files from the left hand side of this page:
[Sample Application site|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/obiee-samples-167534.html]
... the title states quiite clearly that the Sample Application (Build 825) applies to OBIEE release 11g.

Substring function for presentation variables in obiee
I have a presentation variable called period that has the (fromdate and to date)
Is there any way that I can split this one variable into 2 by using substring function??in such a way that it gives one for from date and the other for to date..
any synatx like
SUBSTRING ( '@{period} FROM 0 FOR POSITION
(' - ' IN '@{period})) ???
and how to apply this?The answer to this question is the same for the one you posted here:
can we create two dashboard prompts for the same column in the samepage
You need to split your prompts into two. If you read the link I posted in the other thread and re-posted here, you will find that the reason to do it this way is so you can see the values of the prompts. Read the first paragraph of this link -- again, if you already read it. You cannot split the single presentation variable if you use the BETWEEN operand in the dashboard prompt. You need to put the operand in the filter in your report.

How to pass presentation variable with enclosing single quotes
HI All,
As all of you know in 11g, Presentation variable can hold more than one value.So we can pass multiple values to the report through presentation variable.
If we select x,y,z values from prompt drop down,then those values will be stored like x,y,z in the presentation variable.
but I would like to store these values with enclosing single quotes like 'x,y,z'
The reason is I need to pass this variable value as input to BI Publisher sql dataset query where clause.
Please share your Ideas.
Thanks,
