11g: using limited values in column prompts

Hello,
in the "Column Filter Prompt Properties" dialog box used in 10g, there was an option called "Limited Values" for "What values should be shown to the user" question. So the users could only see those choices allowed by a filter.
Is there such thing in 11g? I could not find it anywhere. Please help!

Oh I see what you mean. You're talking about the column filter. But it's not actually what I mean.
I mean that it 10g when you click not Criteria tab, but Prompts tab - that's where you can create what they call "Column Filter Prompt". And in that tab you can bring up the "Column Filter Prompt Properties" window and select "Limited Values". Hope I now made it clear what I needed.
Thanks!

OBIEE 11g: Use presentation variable in Column Heading

Hi everyone,
I was playing around with sample app dashboards and I saw a dashboard prompt that they converted into a column selector. I liked it and reproduced it in my own sandbox.
I like the results, however, I would also like to change the column heading to clearly reflect which measure was selected. It's pretty clear when you are looking in the dashboard, but once you export the data, it can be confusing which measure was selected.
That is why I would like to use a presentation variable in the column heading section. I tried to do this but it interpreted it as a literal instead of evaluating the statement.
Is there anyway to get a variable in the column heading?
Thanks!
-Joe

RENAME/COPY/DELETE a file using FTP Adapter in 11g using dynamic values

Hi All
We have a requirement to do the above for a client. I was able to find a post\blog that tells you to add the below properties in FTP adapter JCA file and it works but,
<interaction-spec className="oracle.tip.adapter.ftp.outbound.FTPIoInteractionSpec">
<property name="SourcePhysicalDirectory" value="foo1"/>
<property name="SourceFileName" value="bar1"/>
<property name="TargetIsRemote" value="false"/>
<property name="TargetPhysicalDirectory" value="foo2"/>
<property name="TargetFileName" value="bar2"/>
<property name="Type" value="COPY"/>
</interaction-spec>
The problem is that how to assign these values dynamically (from xpath or bpel variables etc). Can somebody provide me with some pointers? Its very urgent!

Use the below approach to set the directory and file names dynamically.
In BPEL source mode, specify the bpelx:inputProperty. Set the values for these variables in bpel. These can also be accessed as bpel preference values.
<invoke>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.ftp.SourceFileName" variable="SourceFileNameVar"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.ftp.TargetFileName" variable="TargetFileNameVar"/>
</invoke>

System-Wide Formatting not applied to Dashboard Column Prompt in 11g

In OBIEE 11g, I have a dashboard column prompt with a date column. I use this column in the analysis and have made the column properties (formatting) a system-wide default for that column.
When I use the column in a dashboard column prompt, it does not show this formatting.
Any ideas why it might not work?

So from what I understand about your question, the system wide default data format you have set for the date column is not following the same format when you use it as a dashboard column prompt. The system wide format only applies for analysis purposes and not for prompts in 11g.

Passing two values in a column prompt for display and filtering

Hi All,
Is there a workaround to use two columns in a prompt for display and passing the input value for a prompt value in dashboard prompt? For eg we want to display the description in the prompt but pass the id to the filter value or presentation variable, just like we have in bi publisher,LOV automatically grab the two value for display and actual value to pass to the query.Therefore, user will click the description and corresponding id will be saved in presentation variable from the prompt .
Thanks,
Sushil

Changing 'All Column Values' in dashboard prompt

In OBIEE 11g, how to modify the dashboard prompt All label value? I do not want to change value in XML file , because it will impact all dashboard prompt value.
Is it there better method to implement this problem?
For example:
In dashboard prompt-->edit -->options--->tick 'Include "All Column Values" choice in the list', so I can view '(All Column Values)' value in prompt. Customers want to changed this value,such as 'all values'. Is it possible? Thanks.

Hi,
Can do it using Union All is prompt SQL and presentation variable in report.

Error while passing prompt value in Column Formula

Hi All,
I have created a dashboard and added a dashboard prompt on that with a presentation variable named "promptdyn" that is basically showing bank names.
Now i want to calculate the market value based on this prompt selection, so i edited the column formula as
"WM FACT Sec"."MARKET VALUE" * EVALUATE('getBankBaseCurrencyValue(%2)' As Double,@{promptdyn},"Industry Type".INSTRUMENT_CCY)
But it is throwing this error:
\nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred.
\nQSError: 22051] The argument number 1 is not referenced in this evaluate expression: getBankBaseCurrencyValue(%2). (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT "Industry Type".INDUSTRY_NAME, "Industry Type".INDUSTRY_TYPE, "WM FACT Sec"."MARKET VALUE" * EVALUATE('getBankBaseCurrencyValue(%2)' As Double,0,"Industry Type".INSTRUMENT_CCY) FROM WMAdHocReportingBMMSec
I don't know what is wrong here.Here i tried to pass the value of the prompt to the function.
Basically I have created a function in the database with two parameter as "bank name " and "Currency" and calling it with the help of evaluate function.
How could we store the prompt value and pass it to some other function?
Pls help me as it is urgent for me to solve.
Thanks

He Solved.
Just i missed out to write %1,%2 in the evaluate function.
But one thing i need to know that how can we store the value that is selected in a prompt say in dashboard prompt so that it can be used in query. Because i need to select a value first from the prompt and based on that i need to manipulate the values of the other request of the dashboard.
Please Reply.
Thanks

How to use Default value in a column in Tabular form in insertion or upda

Hello,
I am trying to use Default values so that user need not have to enter data, but when I select default type and put a default value, I see an error message, if I try to add a new row.
How can I use a default value in a Column in a Tabular Form?
Gouri
Edited by: user1046395 on Apr 3, 2009 9:58 AM

Gouri,
You can just simply edit to each column's report attribute. For example,
To set default date,
Default Type: PL/SQL Expression of Function
Default: sysdate
To set default text,
Default Type: PL/SQL Expression of Function
Default: *'CLERK'*
If you still have an error, what is the error message?

Using select list value as column name in SQL

Folks,
Thanks in advance for any help with this
I have a select list with two values (Instance and Username) created by
STATIC2:Username;USERNAME,Instance;INSTANCE
I am trying to pass the value of this (:P2_SELECT) and use it as a column name in a SQL query as below
select USERNAME,
INSTANCE
from table_name
where :P2_SELECT like '%'||:P2_TEXTSEARCH||'%'
When I substitue the :P2_SELECT for one of the values (either instance or username) this works fine
I suspect it is due to how Application Express interprets the value of :P2_SELECT
Any help would be much appreciated!
Gareth

Thanks Munky that worked a treat!
The next hurdle I have now is that because I have changed the region type to "PL/SQL Function(returning SQL Query)" there is no longer the option to add sorting to the columns as I have had to change the Source option to "Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)"
I will have a scout around and see how I can get around this

Need to use Select List value as column name

I want to have a WHERE ? IS BETWEEN ? AND ? clause.
I am using the PL/SQL Query returning a SQL Query as a report. This uses bind variables for items I had set on my form..... If I hardcode something like:
'WHERE STARTDATE IS BETWEEN '||
'TO_DATE(:P1_START,''dd-MON-YYYY HH24:MI'') AND '||
'TO_DATE(:P2_END,''dd-MON-YYYY HH24:MI'')';
I have no problem, but I have 2 date columns, STARTDATE and ENDDATE, and would like to use the value in a select list and not have to hardcode "STARTDATE" in there. I have not been able to do this, does anyone know how to use a bind variable as a column name? From reading some posts I think it might not be possible.

Heather,
You're on the right track, just glue in the column name so that it becomes part of the returned query string from the function (...'WHERE '||:COLNAME||' IS BETWEEN '|| ...).
Note that the bind variable is not part of the returned query string, but the column name obtained from the bind variable when the function executes does become part of the query string.

Need percentage of values used in an identity column

Hi All,
I am very thankful to all of you for the supprt provided at all times.
I am asked to provide the following details about an identity column for a table:
- Database name
- Table name
- Identity column
- Used number of identity values(max of identity values)
- Percentage of used values
- Next identity value to be generated
- Remaining identity value
I was able to get all these information from the global variables in sybase and with some calculations I was able to find all the identity related information as well but it takes time. For istance, the max of the column need to be found before calculating the percentage of used identity values. Since, these tables are huge(smallest table is 95 GB - bad design) the max computation itself takes time. Our Senior production DBA was able to get it with some system stored procedure which he doesn't want to disclose to us. We have requested him to at least guide us in the right direction but we are going nowhere.
I checked all the sybase documentation but did not get much help.
I sincerely request everyone to suggest me the most efficient and simple way to retrieve all this information.
Sybase ASE version is 12.5.3
Identity column
precision - 12
scale - 0
Table size is 95 GB
Table has a unique clustered index on five column and the identity column is one among them.
Please let me know if any information is required.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards
Nanda Kumar K

Try this bit of SQL code. Basicallly it leverages the "next_identity" function to determine which value is next to occur for the column and computes the other derived values from that. This also assumes that identity values are uniformly used (ie, no gaps). That's a big assumption but it seems built-in to your question.
select "dbname"=db_name()
      ,"tablename"=so.name
      ,"identcol"=sc.name
      ,"usedvals"=convert(int,next_identity(so.name)) - 1
      ,"pctused"=str(100.00 *
                    ((convert(int,next_identity(so.name)) - 1))
                        / convert(numeric(32),power(convert(numeric(32),10),sc.prec)-1)
                    ,6,2)
      ,"nextident"=next_identity(so.name)
      ,"remainident"=convert(numeric(32),power(convert(numeric(32),10),sc.prec)-1) - convert(int,next_identity(so.name)) + 1
from sysobjects so
    inner join
      syscolumns sc
      on so.id = sc.id
where so.sysstat2 & 64 = 64 -- table has identity column
and sc.status & 128 = 128 -- column is an identity column
order by so.name

How to use Special value set with Column clause to display addtional column

hi
can anyone tell me
How to use Special value set with Column clause to display addtional column
how can i use FND POPID and with COLUMN clause ?

Dear Yaseen,
To get the value in formula cumulative,after you have created the formula for that particular key figure,go to edit and click on tab "calculations".
In that select overall result as 'count all values not equal to zero' and single result as 'count all values not equal to zero' .
And mark the cumulative check box underneath.
I hope you get the desired result and please do me favour .
