WEBI Prompt with preset values

Hello All,
I have a requirement to create a prompt in WEBI which would display like below..
"Dollar Denomination"
This should have a preset of values
"1"
"1000"
"1000000"
When user executes the WEBI, the prompt should allow to select one value from the list of three values.
I tried creating a prompt in query filter using" In List" option, but the default values are not populated. If I click "Set default values" and enter the three, those three values are selected by default.
I want uses to select one of the value from these three values given above.
Thanks
Karthik

Hello Rohit,
Thanks for your reply. I tried both the suggestions but failed with errors
In Universe, I created a dimension under the section "Key Figures" and named it "Dollar Denomination"
and my formula for that was
@Select(Key Figures\Dollar Denomination) In List @Prompt('Select Unit:','N',{1,1000,1000000},mono,constrained)
It fails with parsing "Parsing Failed: Invalid Definition(UNV0023)
With WEBI:
I created a query filter with "Dollar Denomination" (that was blank dimension in the universe) and selected "Equal to" and selected as "Prompt" -> Clicked on the little question button and selected the following
Prompt properties:
Checked:
Prompt with list of values
Keep last values selected
Check "Set default values"
and keyed in
Ones
Thousands
Millions
I click on "..." button and could see that there is a prompt
"Enter Dollar Denomination" : Ones;Thousands; Millions
and Ones is selected on the right hand side.
But when I deselect it and type Thousands in search conditon, it fails with database error MDX query with member....
Sorry, I could not attach any screenshot with this message, but both failed..
any other suggestions would be appreciated..
Thanks

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 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...

Problem with RESTful web service with header value

Hi,
I am on Apex 4.2.2 and Listener 2.1 and the listener is on WEblogic.
I succeeded to get a RESTful web service working in an application with no header to obtain a full set of data. The data set is very large, so I am now just trying to set up a web service to get a set of data based on a student ID.
I followed the examples shown in the RESTful web service module of SQL Workshop and set up a handler of this type:
https://ourweblogicserver/apex/bnr/ace/students/course_grades/{stid}
The test for this handler succeeded both for JSON output and CSV output in the Workshop test environment.
However, when I try it from a Web Service Reference that I created for my application following what looked like the same approach used on the example video, I get NO data back. If I put a 'stid' directly into a URL of a web browser and do the basic authentication I get the data!!
This is what I have for the Web service reference:
https://ourweblogicserver/apex/bnr/ace/students/course_grades/{stid}
Basic auth set to Yes -- and this is working -- I am able to authenticate
HTTP method Get
output format Text
no response Xpath
no response namespace
defaults for new record and parameter delimiter
NO REST input parameters
Output set for all the fields in the data set queried (same set of data as in my rest service which does not have any http header)
REST HTTP Header : Name stid
I there something I am missing. I am not sure how to troubleshoot this further.
Pat

Hi,
I have posted a simple application with the RESTful reference:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=13758
I can give you full privileges on this so you can look at the WEB service reference. Shall I send to you separately for login user?
It is using the RESTful service: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/nd_pat_miller/demo/employee/{deptno}
This RESTful service tests fine when I test from within the RESTful web service module of the Workspace.
I based this on the Video demo tutorial for RESTful web service that Oracle published for 4.2 release. The video seemed to exclude the {deptno} in the URL but when I try that, it doesn't work either.
This is the error I am getting when I run this on my Apex environment: (it, of course, will not run the web service in the apex.oracle.com environment)

Issue with retrieving WebI prompts through VBA SDK

Hello,
I am having difficulty retrieving WebI prompt values through my VBA code. I've noticed that the HasPrompts method works correctly, but when I try to retrieve the actual Prompt name / values, the collection is always empty.
If (DocumentItem.PluginInterface.hasprompts = True) Then
                msgbox ("prompts found")
                msgbox (DocumentItem.PluginInterface.Prompts.Item(1))
             Else
                msgbox ("no prompts found")
             End If
Any ideas as to why I am never able to see a populated collection of prompts, even when HasPrompts = True ?
Any ideas appreciated...
Thanks

Personalizing web intelligence with prompts ..

Hello,
i am trying to schedule a publication of a Web Intelligence Document. This document uses a prompt. I personalized data for 2 users example 'John' and 'Larry' with values 'California' and 'Texas'. The document is saved with parameter value 'California' (not removable). The Option "Refresh at run Time" is set ..
Issue: When runing publication. John becomes personalyzed data for california. LArry bvecomes empty report. Any suggestions ..? Thanx .

Getting data from another query is not an option with the BICS based webi.Also unfortunately there is no good way to have a custom cascading prompt if the hierarchies are not available in Bex. Here is a link to the idea place to have this functionality in a future release https://ideas.sap.com/ct/ct_a_view_idea.bix?c=7732DE74-E9A6-4736-AEE0-6181E5BB5F5E&idea_id=EE6432C0-BC6C-47E6-BB04-C095B3C398B8 However if performance is not an issue and you need this functionality you might also want to look at MDX based OLAP universe using the old UDT tool which is still available with BI 4.0 . That will allow the custom cascading prompt to be created on the universe.

WEBI prompt based on bex variable suppress not assigned hashtag value in LOV

Hi,
is it possible to suppress the "Not assigned (#)" value from the list of values in a webi prompt based on a bex variable?
This "Not assigned" value is something BW specific, BW adds this to each characteristic automatically?!
WEBI:
RSRT:
It needs to work in WEBI, not only in RSRT, and the filtering of data still needs to work.
For rsrt it works, when you exclude the not assigned value in "Filter > Characteristic Restrictions" and use the bex variable in/through "Filter > Default Values", but this does not work in WEBI, because the BEX Query Data is not filtered on the in the prompt selected value.
Thanks.

David

Thanks David for a quick reply !
I could manage to avoid # values in WebI prompt using BAdI implementation, here is the brief:
Problem:
WebI report prompt (which shows BEx variable) list of values shows blanks or # . Rrequirement was to avoid these blanks or #
Environment:
BW 7.3
BO 4.0
BW Cube > BEx Query > OLAP Connection > WebI report
Solution:
InfoObject Level1 in BW had # values in masterdata, this could not be deleted since it was in use with other Cubes.
Vaurable Var_Level1 displays # when pressed F4 running BEx query and in list of values in WebI report prompt.
I implemented BAdI on Level1 info object and variable Var_Level1.
Steps to implement BAdI are as in following link
BEx Query - Control the values which are shown on F4
Used following code to elimitate #.
METHOD IF_RSR_VARIABLE_F4_RESTRICT~GET_RESTRICTION_FLAT.
DATA: l_s_range     LIKE LINE OF c_t_range.
DATA: l_var_range   LIKE LINE OF i_t_var_range.
DATA: IT_MZLEVELS TYPE TABLE OF /BIC/MZLEVELS,
WA_MZLEVELS LIKE LINE OF IT_MZLEVELS.
DATA: L_ZLEVEL1     TYPE /BIC/OIZEVEL1.
IF i_vnam EQ 'ZV_LEVEL1'.
SELECT /BIC/ZLEVEL1
FROM /BIC/MZLEVELS
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE IT_MZLEVELS
WHERE OBJVERS       = 'A'.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
EXIT.

How to schedule Webi Documents with Prompts with RESTful Web Services

Hello,
I am trying to schedule Webi Documents with Prompts using RESTful Web Services with prompts. I am using Simple Rest Client app provided by Google Chrome. We have Business Objects SP6 Patch 1.
However the documentation for RESTful Web Services has only examples for the following
1. Schedule Documents without any Prompts to various destinations and recurrences.
2. Refresh Documents with Prompts.
Is there any example for scheduling documents with prompts? Please advise
Thanks in advance

Hi Peter,
With Rest Client, on BI4.0 SP6, you can schedule Webi documents with prompts using the following:
URL: http://<servername>:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/<docid>/schedules
Method:POST
Request Body:
<schedule>
<name>Enter values for City:</name>
<format type="webi"/>
<destination>
<inbox/>
</destination>
<once retriesAllowed="2" retryIntervalInSeconds="60">
<startdate>2013-08-26T15:58:51.000+02:00</startdate>
<enddate>2013-08-27T15:58:51.000+02:00</enddate>
</once>
<parameters>
<parameter optional="false" type="prompt" dpId="DP0">
<id>0</id>
<technicalName>Enter values for City:</technicalName>
<answer constrained="false" type="Text">
<values>
<value>Austin</value>
</values>
</answer>
</parameter>
</parameters>
</schedule>
Using the above request you can schedule the Webi document with prompts to inbox destination and set for once.
The schedule can be sent in different formats to several destinations and set just for once, daily,
hourly or monthly.
You can also check the example for this on page 275 of SAP Webi RESTful SDK user guide for BI4.0 SP6 below:

Prompt List of Values in WebI - SAP BI Variable - SAP BI Query -BI Infoset

Hi,
We have a Multiprovider built on an Infoset. SAP BI Infoset is built using 2 DSOs.
There is a SAP BI Query on top of this Multiprovider.
Multiple-Single Values type Optional Variables are created for some of the Objects of this SAP BI Query.
Universe is created on top of this SAP BI Query, using SAP Integration kit.
WebI is created on top of this Universe.
Prompts are created on some of the Universe Objects, for the WebI report.
We are facing a typical problem.
When a WebI prompt is created on one particular object, (which also has a Multiple Single Value type Optional Variable in SAP BI Query), its List of Values is showing up only first three values in WebI. The SAP BI Variable in BEX Analyzer shows up all the 8 values for the List of Values, for the same object.
The Output WebI report has more values for the object than shown up in the List of Values & this is the problem.
We tried to keep the settings in Info-object, DSO, Infoset, Multiprovider = Values in Master Data (for the List of Values).
Similar objects and similar variables for the same query / webi show all the List of Values.
Any guidance on aspects to be checked would be helpful.
regards,
Rajesh K Sarin

Problem :
If an SAP BI Infoset is used in data modelling, and a restricted key
figure is created in the SAP BI Query; the resultant WebI Object Prompt
for the Info-object, only shows up LOVs which have been used for the
restricted Key Figure. Both the things are not related except for the
fact that some of the values for the same object are used for the
restricted key figure.
Details :
We have a Multiprovider built on an SAP BI Infoset.
SAP BI Infoset is built using 2 DSOs.
There is a SAP BI Query on top of this Multiprovider.
There is a restricted key figure in the sap bi query. KeyFigure "Number
of Records" is restricted for 3 of the relevant Info-object "Meter
Reading Status" values.
Universe is created on top of this SAP BI Query, using SAP Integration
kit. WebI is created on top of this Universe.
Prompt is created on the Universe Object for Meter Reading Status, in
the WebI report.
List of Values is showing up only the three values in WebI (which were
used in the Restricted Key Figure calculation).
SAP BI Variable in BEX Analyzer for the same Info-object Meter Reading
Status shows up all the 8 values for the List of Values.
The Output WebI report has more values for the object than shown up in
the List of Values & this is the problem.
We have kept the settings in Info-object, DSO, Infoset,
Multiprovider, Query = Values in Master Data (for the List of Values).
When we delete the "Restricted Key Figure" from the SAP BI Query, the
refreshed Universe and Webi have a complete set of List of Values
applicable.
Steps for Reconstruction
1. Create Infoset
2. Create SAP BI Query on Infoset
3. Create Restricted Key Figure for Number of Records and few of the
values for a characteristic info-object "X".
4. Create BO Universe on SAP BI Query
5. Create Webi on BO Universe
6. Create a Prompt on the characteristic info-object "X".
7. Check List of Values for the characteristic info-object "X" in SAP
BI Query and WebI.
8. LOVs in WebI are equal to the values used for restriction in the
restricted key figure.
9. Delete the restricted key figure from SAP BI Query.
10. Refresh Universe
11. Webi prompt shows all the values for the prompt on "X".

OBIEE 11g Prompt's default value doesn't work with a presentation variable

Hi, I'm using OBIEE 11g and I have two dashboard prompts (Product Name and Product Number). Theses prompts are hierarquical, so the values that are displayed in the Product Number prompt have dependency with the values chosen on the Product Name prompt. This I was able to do, but now I want to put a default value on the Product Number prompt. The steps are:
1 - The user chooses the value for the Product Name Prompt and by doing that the Product Number prompt is automatically filled with the correspondent value.
But unfortunatelly this is not working, after choosing the value for the Product Name the default value for Product Number is not displayed (when you open the prompt the values displayed are correct and already filtered considering the Product Name but the prompt is not automatically filled with the default value).
What I did is:
On the Product Name Prompt I've created a Presentation Variable called PROD.
On the Product Number Prompt I've selected:
1 - For the "Choice List Values" field I've checked the option "Limit Values by All Prompts"
2 - For the "Default Selection" field I've chosen the SQL Results option and enter the following SQL:
SELECT "Products"."Product Number" FROM "Sample Sales Lite"."Products" WHERE "Products"."Product"='@{variables.PROD}
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you,
Carla

Sorry I was wrong in my previous thread.
Actually your approach is not correct, Product Number choose constraint that will show as per the selection of Product Name.
Coming to default value for Product Number you are going for sql override that is okay but not work with variable, instead of setting default values for product number set that to product name.
if not you need to go for 2 different prompts
Prompt 1 Product Name hit GO
Prompt 2 will work based on as you defined earlier with variables
Hope this helps

Hi ,
We have enabled context sensitive DFF in Bank Branch Page for HZ_PARTIES DFF , We have created Flex Map so that only bank branch context fields are only displayed in the bank branch page and as we know party information DFF is shared by supplier and Customer Page so we dint want to see any Bank Branch fields or context information in those pages.
We have achieved the requirement but when open existing branches bank branch update is throwing below error message :
"The value in flexfield context reference web bean does not match with the value in the context of the Descriptive flexfield web bean BranchDescFlex. If this in not intended, please go back to correct the data or contact your Systems Administrator for assistance."
this error is thrown only when we open existing branches, if we save existing branch and open then it is not throwing any error message.
Please let us know reason behind this error message.

Issue with filtering values in Web Template

I am facing a problem with filtering values in Web Template.
I have two queries based on two different data providers. One query is getting data from an Info set and the other from a Remote Cube. I have a single navigational block to filter values for both these queries but the change gets reflected only on the variable of one query. The other reflects no change and shows all the values irrespective of the filter condition.
I have tried the option of setting in the properties of the navigational block, affected data providers as both your data providers.But no effect.
Can a single navigational block be used to filter values on 2 queries which are built on different data providers? If yes, can someone please tell me how it is possible?
Kindly let me know how can I make the changes appear in both the queries?I am using SAP BI 3.5.
Thanks & Regards,
Suchitra

Hi Peng,
Frank also published a fix for 11g R1: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/fnimphius/rc_expand_menu_on_mouse_over.html
function showMenu(event){
var adfRichMenu = event.getSource();
adfRichMenu.getPeer().show(null,true);
}This should work.

ABAP-based web service returns numeric values with leading zeros

Hi SOA experts,
I have created a web service out of an ABAP function module. Beside other values, this service returns a list of document numbers. All of these numeric values are returned by the web service with leading zeros, but we do want these values w/o leading zeros.
Any ideas how I can tell the web service to not print any leading zeros?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Kind regards, Matthias
PS: The according function module does not print any leading zeros for the numeric values

hi,
just a guess: I'd try to use I instead of NUMC for the document numbers.
NUMC is no number but a character string with numeric characters only. only some display routines in SAP know that this string of numerals represents a number and omit leading zeroes.
my 2 cents,
anton
