About Check box Prompt in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I really wonder about strange behaviour of check box prompt in OBIEE11g.
I have created a check box prompt and associate it with my report. Now when i tried to view result with select any of check box, report run properly, But when i deselect check box and re run report, the check box automatically select again and result of report filtered.
Any one have any Idea about this, as this seems a BUG in OBIEE11g...
Many Thanks.

Hi Archie,
Are you saying, when you deselect a prompt and try to run the report, it still selects the prompts from the first selection and filters the same again?

Hierarchy Prompts in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I have an Issue with Implementing Hierarchy Prompts in OBIEE 11g. I understand that Filters on Hierarchy Prompts can be applied in Selection steps and cannot be viewed in the Physical Query as such. However, what happens is, the Hierarchy prompt only gets applied when the hierarchy is displayed in the report.It is not applied even when it is present in the excluded section. So, it works only when it is displayed in the report. Is this correct? Is there any workaround for this?
Any help on this would be much appreciated
Regards,
Venkatesh

If the column set to prompt no matters what (column is present,or not, excluded or hidden) the prompt should work.
Check it again something might gone wrong.
If it is helpful, please mark as correct or helpful

How to set width of a prompt in OBIEE 11g?

Hi,
We have recently upgraded to OBIEE 11G.
In 10g all our prompts were fine. After upgrade, the prompts look distracted. All the prompts are Choice Lists.
The width of the prompts is varying depending on the width of the values that are coming from the DB.
Our requirement demands fixed width for the prompts. Is there any way to do it!!
Thanks!!

Issue in Dashboard Prompt of OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I had recently migrated from OBIEE 10g to OBIEE 11g.
I had found that there are lot of things which were working on OBIEE 10g are not working in OBIEE 11g.
For Eg:
I have scenario where i have 2 dashboards with different dashboard prompts.
- *1st Dashboard*: I have prompt with 4 columns Year, Month, Qtr and Week. I can filter the data based on the selection of prompt.i.e Summary Report showing all KPIs and when clicked on the any of the KPI it goes to Below report which shows the graphical view of past weeks data.
- Report: Here i show all the week Ids in the Graph format and when clicked on the any week id it navigates to 2nd Dashboard(below) with appropriate week populated in the prompt and show the detailed records.
- *2nd Dashboard*: I have prompt with 5 columns Year, Month, Qtr, Week and Day of the Week with some detailed report. Here the only Week Id should be pre populated and show data based on the week id selection in the above report.
The issue here in OBIEE 11g is, The month Id which was selected in 1st Dashboard prompt is also getting pre populated into the 2nd dashboard prompt. Which should not happen.
Note: This was working fine in OBIEE 10g.
Is there any way to fix this issue in OBIEE 11g.
Regards
Shyam

Hi Bala,
Thank you for your response.
I had tried that and resolved my problem but it was impacting other reports i.e
I have other reports in 1st Dashboard with different tabs, Here i want the prompt value to be persisted across the reports in same dashboard so that when i go to other tab with in same dashboard the prompt value should be pre-populated and the data should be filtered against that.
Now if i change the scope to page then i will be loosing this functionality.
It was working on OBIEE 10g and i lost this after migrating to OBIEE 11g.
Can you please help me in this regard.

Shyam

I done it in 10g.
Please help.
Thanks,
Lakshmipathi.

Hi,
Placing the image file in /l_en folder dint work for me too however you can place them inside the following paths and restart the services,
1)
\MW_HOME\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\servers\AdminServer\tmp\_WL_user\analytics_11.1.1\silp1v\war\res\s_blafp\images
2)
\MW_HOME\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\app\res\s_blafp\images
You can then call your file with the url, http://hostname:port/analytics/res/imagefile.jpg
Its worked for me, let me know in case of any issues.

Check box prompt

Hi all,
I have a generated form with a check box in a multi record block, the prompt is placed above: this is ok.
Now, I want to place a button below, so I created an item group in which I put all the displayed fields except the button. The item group has layout format Multi-record. Now the button is displayed once below the item group which is the way I want it, the problem is that the prompt of the check box is placed besides the check box instead of above. The CBXALM preference of the block is set to "Y".
I am using designer 6.5.52.1.0
Any ideas?
Steven

Well, found this on Metalink
fact: Oracle Designer 6.0
fact: Oracle Designer 2.1.2
fact: CASEOFG - Forms Generator
symptom: Unable to center checkbox prompt above a multi record block
symptom: Checkbox prompts are not centered even though the value of both
the following preferences is set to 'CENTER':
ITMPJR (Prompt justification above a right-justified item)
ITMPJL (Prompt justification above a left-justified item)
cause: This behavior is described in <BUG:1147085>:CHECKBOX PROMPT NOT
CENTERED IN SPREAD TABLE
The problem occurs when the width of the check box item is set to a
value higher than 3. The position of the prompt is centered
relative to the space reserved for the check box. The space reserved
for the check box is the specified width. Since the real width of the
checkbox is 2, the alignment of the prompt is not centered relative
to the occupied width of the check box.
fix:
Workaround:
Nullify the check box item 'Width' property or set the width of
the check box item to 2 or 3.
When I read this I simply changed the width of the checkbox items to NULL.
It works fine ! You don't need to set any generator prefs to achieve this.
Cheers,
Coen

Confused about Mapviewer and SQL in OBIEE 11g.

I read in another post that you cant use mapviewer unless you have an oracle database.
Here is my confusion. The mapviewer product comes with OBIEE 11g, Correct?
If I use Google Maps, and load the map information into an SQL data base, why wouldnt I be able to get it to work?
I cant believe that Oracle, who makes a big deal about how OBIEE can work with "Any data source", would provide a key function
that would only work with an Oracle data base, thereby purposely excluding many of their customers from using that key function.
Someone please clear this up for me because we need to use maps and we use SQL Server 2008 for our data warehouse.

Hi katherine,
FILTER(count(distinct("customer info dimesion"."customerID")) USING ("TradeType Dimesion"."TradeType" = '001'))I think your formula there is mistake like many braces...instead type this in your f(x)
=>Filter(count(distinct customer_id) USING trade type='001')
This filter function is same like a case statement,if you filter still gives error write a case statement
CASE WHEN TradeType Dimesion.TradeType='001' THEN count(distinct customer info dimesion.customerID) ELSE 0 END

About the filter function in OBIEE 11g

Hi, all.
when i use the filter function in OBIEE 11g, it turn out a wrong result.
The operation steps and detail are described as follow:
1. In the Column Formula pane, I typed the Formula of the column 'count of customer' as:
FILTER(count(distinct("customer info dimesion"."customerID")) USING ("TradeType Dimesion"."TradeType" = '001'))
2. But the phisical SQL about this column in the NQquery file is that: "count(distinct(T11520.CUSTOMERID)) as c5, "
which means that, the filter wasn't applied, right?
If so, what shall I do in this situation, in other words , how can i make a Condition COUNT？
Any Suggestion is appreciated!
Thank you in advance~~O(∩_∩)O~

Issues with less than and grater than condition in prompts in OBIEE 11g,

Hi all,
i am facing the prombles with less than grater than conditions in OBIEE 11g.
i created two date prompts with presentation variables datefrom and dateto
and i used these prompts in fileters like this using grater than and less than symbol.
filters are as below:
lastupdated date is grater than or equal to @{datefrom}{1/1/1950}
lastupdated date is less than or equal to @{dateto){1/1/1950}
and created two prompts
creation datefrom >=
creation dateto<=
when i passing the dates 05/12/2004 and 05/12/2005 in prompts after clicking the apply button in OBIEE 11g it feches all the records but i need records between these dates. and one more thing is after clicking apply button the two date fields getting the same date..
am i do any thing wrong in the above ???
please let me know friends..
waiting for ur replyyyyyy..
Thanks
Edited by: BI_user on Oct 12, 2011 2:10 AM

Hi,
Create date prompts with operator as = not >= (or) <= as you need to save that value in presentation variable and you are filtering report using those variable filters.

Resetting Selection from a Multi-Select Dashboard Prompt in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I have a dashboard prompt, containing 3 columns which all are set to allow multi selection and default value is all values.
In 10g, after choosing some values in one of the prompt and clicking Go button, I can manually remove all my selection to reset it back to the default value (which is all values).
In 11g, however, I am not able to find how to do it. The reset button doesn't reset back to the default value (which is all values). So what I have to do is to use the "Clear All Customization", which will clear all my selection for all the prompts.
Any suggestion on how to do this? Thanks in advance!

Hi Deepak, actually I don't need any script to do that in 10g.
It's a built in feature in 10g. If you remember, for multiselect prompt in 10, we will click the "..." button to show the box for value selection. Then we can move values from left box to the right to include them, or vice versa to not include them. So by moving the values from right box to the left, I essentially revert to default value which mean all values will be shown.
In 11g, this box is not shown anymore, instead we are checking the values one by one from a drop down list.
Any suggestion? Thanks.

Not Displaying Options tab while Checking Global Consistancy in OBIEE 11G

Hi,
We recently upgraded from 10G to 11 G . Here When I checked Global Consistency I got some Errors but they are negligible . I need to disable those errors but am not finding that option .
Please give me the soln.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
11g does not allow beginning or trailing spaces in logical names within the RPD. This causes errors in this release instead of warnings as in OBIEE 10g.I would suggest you to close the window.

Dashboard Prompts in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I had a requirement:
In my dashboard page , prompts are YEAR , QUARTER , MONTH , PRODUCT NAME , ORDER NAME .
Now when i select YEAR = 2010 , then Quarter should display values related to 2010 .
If i select Quarter = 2010 Q1 then month should display only related values.
which is like creating dependency between the dashboard prompts.
Can some one please help me in this issue .

In your dashboard prompt properties you need to tick the 'Constrain' box for all the columns that you want be constrained by the other choices, e.g Year, Quarter, Month.
Only tick Product Name / Order Name if you want these to be constrained also but bear in mind it could cause a performance delay if you are having to join tables to get the constrain.
Hope this helps,
Regards
Alastair

Dashboard prompt in Obiee 11g

Hi,
I have a requirement to hide dashboard prompt, and display it only if the previous prompt has a user input. For example, first I need to display a prompt for Country, if the user selects a value, the show a prompt for State, and if a user selects a value for this then show the prompt for city. I need to implement this in 11g. I read previous posts where they say make use of guided navigation, however I do not find this inn 11g.
Any help on this will be great,
Thanks,
Nikita
