BI Publisher - Parameters

I'm using BI Publisher 11g. How can I limit Date To in the data model input parameter to System Date?
Edited by: user6745988 on Sep 2, 2011 12:08 PM

Hi Elche,
In BIP that is not possible only workaround to your requirement is to consider in your template
the case when the parameter is BLANK or NULL and print a message like "Please enter a value in parameter ...".
If the parameter is not null or blank then print the normal report.

Jorge
p.s. If this answers your question then please grant the points and close the thread

SAP Integration Kit installation - BW Publisher parameters

Hi,
We are working on an BO GRC RM 3.0 scenario (Windows/SQL Server). As per architecture requirements we are currently installing BOBJ Integration Kit for SAP. However the following doubt comes up. As per architecture requirement also, and as it was defined for our scenario there is no need for an BI system (AS JAVA was installed only as EP usage type) if the reporting is going to be used with BOE Crystal. What we need there, is to install and BOBJ SAP Integration kit on BOE XI 3.1 server and to import Crystal transport files in AS ABAP (SAP_ABA, SAP_BASIS, PI_BASIS, SAP_BW).
During the Integration Kit installation process we are being prompted for BW Publisher parameters where an RFc to a BW system is required. As mentioned earlier, we donu2019t have an BW system since BOE Crystal will be used instead of WebDynpro ABAP ListViewer...Are we using the incorrect Integration Kit? Should I install BI_Content Add-on installed on AS ABAP even when reporting is going to be used with Crystal Report?
Hoping being clear enough, please let me know if I can proceed with Integration kit installation in this way or should I have some other precautions for this particular solution implementation.
Thanks and best regards.

Hi,
in case you do not have SAP BW as part of the landscape then there is no need to install the publishing component

Published parameters missing from Title

Hi guys,
I've just downloaded Final Cut Pro. I'm trying to edit titles, but the published parameters section under 'Title' in the Inspector is blank. How do I get it to show the ink colour etc? I just dragged and dropped the standard Basic Title onto my timeline. I can edit the text, but nothing else. Any advice would be appreciated!

The color controls of most of the titles are in the Text inspector under Face not the Title inspector, which is for parameters published from Motion.

Trouble referencing BI Publisher parameters in SQL Query (nQSError: 46033)

Hello everyone,
I have a query that references some Parameters I created in BI Publisher. They are:
grade_var of type String
school_var of type String
school_year of type String
The SQL used to for the data model of the report is:
SELECT "KW School Year"."School Year", "KW Grade"."Grade Seq Nbr", "KW Grade"."Grade Desc", "KWC Enrolment"."Student Count", +(case WHEN "KW School"."School Name" = 'Campbell Collegiate' then "KW School"."School Name" else 'Z - Other School' end)+
FROM "Sask DW"
WHERE ("KW Student"."Student Nbr" IN
(SELECT "KW Student"."Student Nbr"
FROM "Sask DW"
WHERE ("KW School"."Post Secondary Institute Ind" = 'N')
AND ("KW Enrolment Outcome"."Enrolment Outcome" NOT IN ('Deceased', 'Transferred to out-of-country schooling', 'Transferred to out-of-province schooling'))
AND ("KW Grade"."Grade Desc" = :grade_var)
AND ("KW School"."School Name" = :school_var)
AND ("KW School Year"."School Year" = :school_year_var)) )
AND ("KW School"."Post Secondary Institute Ind" = 'N')
AND ("KW Enrolment Outcome"."Enrolment Outcome" NOT IN ('Deceased', 'Transferred to out-of-country schooling', 'Transferred to out-of-province schooling'))
AND +("KW School Year"."School Year" >= '2005/2006')+
The above query works great and I can get back results and throw them into a template and it works great. The problem comes when I want to change what is highlighted in italics text. School Name and School Year values are hard coded into the SQL but I want those to reference the value of the BI Publisher parameter. It seems to work fine in the bolded part but when I put the paramater name into the italics part, I get the error message:
java.io.IOException: prepare query failed[nQSError: 46033] Datatype: 25 is not supported.
The query I am trying to submit is (changes highlighted in bold):
SELECT "KW School Year"."School Year", "KW Grade"."Grade Seq Nbr", "KW Grade"."Grade Desc", "KWC Enrolment"."Student Count", *(case WHEN "KW School"."School Name"=:school_var then "KW School"."School Name" else 'Z - Other School' end)*
FROM "Sask DW"
WHERE ("KW Student"."Student Nbr" IN
(SELECT "KW Student"."Student Nbr"
FROM "Sask DW"
WHERE ("KW School"."Post Secondary Institute Ind" = 'N')
AND ("KW Enrolment Outcome"."Enrolment Outcome" NOT IN ('Deceased', 'Transferred to out-of-country schooling', 'Transferred to out-of-province schooling'))
AND ("KW Grade"."Grade Desc" = :grade_var)
AND ("KW School"."School Name" = :school_var)
AND ("KW School Year"."School Year" = :school_year_var)) )
AND ("KW School"."Post Secondary Institute Ind" = 'N')
AND ("KW Enrolment Outcome"."Enrolment Outcome" NOT IN ('Deceased', 'Transferred to out-of-country schooling', 'Transferred to out-of-province schooling'))
AND ("KW School Year"."School Year" >= :school_year_var)
The parameters are all of type string and all the columns I am comparing them to are VARCHAR. What doesn't make sense is that the parameters can be compared to the columns in the middle of the SQL but when I try a similar comparison near the beginning and at the end, I get the error shown above.
Any thoughts/tips?
Thanks!

Hi Jared,
Did you have any success with the syntax suggested? I am having the same issue and would like to know if using the parameter as part of the SQL query select statement is feasible. The goal is to have a column dynamically selected based on a parameter value. My example:
SELECT
CASE
WHEN :p_name = 'Joe' THEN table1.column_a
WHEN :p_name = 'Tom' THEN table1.column_b
ELSE table1.column_c
END
FROM ...

Publishing parameters from a child composition?

I may be thinking about composition incorrectly, but I have created a composition i'd like to reuse in different places. It is basically a star streak. It has lots of attributes you can tweak, such as speed in X/Y/Z directions, amount of starshine, etc. It's a fully controllable, modular composition. Is there any way to publish all of these tweakable attributes, so that from the parent composition, i can keyframe it's values, and control it from that level?

If I understand the question correctly, this method won't have the intended effect. This only allows the controls in one parent comp to control layer properties inside one child comp. I think meezmozz wants for each instance of the child comp to have its own set of controls. This isn't possible, because in AE every instance of a nested comp points back to a single comp. The expression inside the nested comp can't identify which instance of the comp it is in.

I want to make a title!!-published parameters

I want to make a title, but many of the titles include more than one text sequence, title, subtitle, date, etc....how am i able to just use it one time for the title? like getting rid of the two other texts in that title

I don't know why your exported video showed blank text boxes; it should not have and when I test my title, I don't see anything like that.
If you want to control the timing and hold the main title text, make the title clip into a compound clip (Option-G).
Once you do that it is possible to call up the re-time editor (Command-R) and then hold whatever frame you choose. The length of that hold can be adjusted by dragging.
If you intend to do a lot of this, consider purchasing and learning Motion. Much more control.
Good luck.

How to find out BW Publisher parameters

Dear Experts,
In the process of installing BO XI 3.1 Integration tool Kit For SAP Solutions.I came to know that i need Program ID,Gateway Host,Gateway Service details of BW.
1)Can you please tell me the steps in detail , how to find out the above details from BW?

Hi,
Please go through by below details.
GwHost - Hostname of the BW server (BW server Name)
GwServ - Gateway of BW server (e.g. 3300 or sapgw00)
ProgID - Program ID of Registered Server Program defined for RFC destination (SM59) on BW server (Logon on the SAP BW by SAP GUI and go to the transaction SM59.You can get the ProgID from SM59.)

Help with "greyed out" option for Publishing a group of Parameters in Motion 5!

How do you group published parameters in Motion 5, so that you don't have one giant list of published options for Final Cut Pro X?
My main goal is To publish a compound parameter (a parameter with nested subparameters)
Looking through Motion Help, it should be as easy as clicking the little disclosure triangle on the right of the inspector, but the word "Publish" is greyed out...

I know I've looked at rigging, but based off the Motion Help Online Manual, It should be as simple as clicking on the option for publish and have nested subparameters...
Rigging is excellent, but more steps would be needed to do the same thing i believe...

APEX Application URL doesnt recognize parameters (Doesnt work consistently)

Hello,
I have developed an application which I have published in company's intranet website. There are several links published for same application with different parameters. We are facing issues in publishing parameterized URLs as application is not recongizing the parameter values passed (in internet explorer it doesnt recognize at all, but in mozilla, once redirected if we again select address bar and press Enter it does recongize the parameter without changing URL).
E.g. I have hyperlink in intranet with
http://msi-pa-637.marvell.com:7777/pls/htmldb/f?p=111:101:0::NO::P101_PROJECT_INSTANCE:PRJ3
After clicking on the link it does open application, but report with complete data. now in Mozilla if I select address bar and press enter, it refreshes and does retrieve report with desired parameter. Do you have any clue why it doesnt do in first place? (in internet explorer, this work around doesnt help until you manually change the parameter from PRJ3 to PRJ2 and press enter).
Please help.
Thanks,

Thanks Vikas for helping me to figure out myself.
The debug feature really helped!
My application was having computation on same item that was getting defaulted on new instance. I made that computation conditional and now it works!
Thanks a lot!

Using Parameters in SQL-Query not only in where clauses

Hi,
I try to use Publisher parameters in the SQL Query from a Data Set.
All of them have default values.
So far, this is no problem, unless I try to use such a parameter value as an ordinary attribute value:
>
select
 case when (:pv_Group = 'no') then "DM15D_BETRIEBSTEIL"."BETR_TEIL"
 else :pv_some_Text end as Betr_Teil,
 case when (:pv_Group = 'no') then "DM15D_BETRIEBSTEIL"."SUVA_NR_FORM"
 else :pv_some_Text end as Suva_Nr,
 case when (:pv_Group = 'no') then "DM15K_RIS_FAKTEN_PRO_BTT_JHR"."RIS_VOLLBESCH"
 else sum("DM15K_RIS_FAKTEN_PRO_BTT_JHR"."RIS_VOLLBESCH") end as Vollbesch
from "GDWH05"
where
 "DM15D_BETRIEBSTEIL"."SUVA_NR_FORM" in (:pv_nim100)
 fetch first 65001 rows ONLY
>
The parameters 'pv_Group' and 'pv_nim100' are working fine. (when or where clauses)
The parameter 'pv_some_Text' unfortunately not. (simple literals)
When I try to validate the above SQL, I get the following Error:

java.io.IOException: prepare query failed[nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 46033] Datatype: 25 is not supported.

After use a cast function:
>
else CAST(:pv_some_Text AS CHARACTER)
>
I get this ERROR:

java.io.IOException: prepare query failed[nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 19002] Incorrect use of parameters. The parameters used in CAST cannot be resolved without ambiguity.

We use OBIEE 11.1.1.6.4 on a Win64-System.
Thank's for any help.

Hi Alex,
let's leave away any unnecessary details.
This is the SQL, inserted in the window 'Edit Data Set' of BIP Data Model:
>
select
 '--1' as Betr_Teil,
 '--2' as Suva_Nr,
 sum("GDWH05"."DM15K_RIS_FAKTEN_PRO_BTT_JHR"."RIS_VOLLBESCH") as Vollbesch
from "GDWH05"
where
 "DM15D_BETRIEBSTEIL"."SUVA_NR_FORM" in ('122-4.4')
 fetch first 65001 rows ONLY
>
Everything is fine when I click OK, the script goes back to the metadata.
Let's try this script with bind values in ORACLE SQL Developer.
This SQL is the physical part, found in the OBIEE-Log (Log level 5), except the bind values. Therefore we find, in the where clause, the join. In the logical sql, we don't have to join, because it's handled in the Common Enterprise Information Model (CEIM)
>
with
sawith0 as
select
sum(t39617.ris_vollbesch) as c1
from
dm15d_betriebsteil t39455,
dm15k_ris_fakten_pro_btt_jhr t39617
where
t39455.id_betriebsteil = t39617.id_betriebsteil
and t39455.suva_nr_form = '122-4.4'
select
d1.c1 as c1,
d1.c2 as c2,
d1.c3 as c3
from
select
:pv_some_text as c1,
:pv_some_text as c2,
sum(d1.c1) as c3
from
sawith0 d1
d1
where
rownum <= 65001
>
This SQL works fine, even with bind values for 'pv_some_text'.
But, when using the following SQL in the BIP Data Model:
>
select
 :pv_Text as Betr_Teil,
 :pv_Text as Suva_Nr,
 sum("GDWH05"."DM15K_RIS_FAKTEN_PRO_BTT_JHR"."RIS_VOLLBESCH") as Vollbesch
from "GDWH05"
where
 "DM15D_BETRIEBSTEIL"."SUVA_NR_FORM" in ('122-4.4')
 fetch first 65001 rows ONLY
>
The following ERROR occurs:
java.io.IOException: prepare query failed[nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 46008] Internal error: File server\Query\Optimizer\ServiceInterfaceMgr\Utility\Src\SQOIUTypeVisitor.cpp, line 643.
In my opinion, either I use a wrong syntax, or BIP has a problem with parsing the script.
Thank you for your most welcome help.

Time Based publishing dates lost through copying content

We are using a SAP Netweaver Portal, www.dkv-euroservice.com, and a standard KM. If we use the copy function through the document explorer on a content item which is in a KM directory we noticed that all "time bases publishing" dates belonging to this item are lost.
These property information are emtpy in the original document which we wanted to be copied and also in the new copied item ?!
The SAP UI Command problem for copy a content item occures by selecting one content item and by selecting serveral items at the same copy execution.
Please inform us about a fix to this problem. As we mentioned this behaviour to SAP at the DSAG fair in Leipzig, Germany we got the answer that this is a software bug.

Shah Saad Azfar

Copying content might not provide timebased publishing parameters, however, you can try it with "Move" Command.
Move will copy all related parameters along with the file...

Publishing SCORM compliant files

I have a 256 slide presentation that I have been working on
for some time.
Up until recently I have been able to publish the captivate 4
file, including zipping the files and upload it to my LMS.
Unfortunately, CP4 has stopped ZIPPING the files. It is still
publishing the files into the designated folder, it just refuses to
ZIP them. (the optoin to ZIP files is checked). If I ZIP them
manually my LMS reports its not a valid SCORM file.
This occurs on difference PC with CP4 installed.
I tried to create a blank template, imported all the
necessary slides and the problem continues.
I'm running out of options and I really need to get this
published. Any suggestions or troubleshooting steps I can
take?

Uncheck the .zip box, publish, save, close, open the file
again, check
the .zip option, republish?
Otherwise, even a less-cool workaround, but copy all slides,
close file.
Open a new project, paste slides, setup publishing parameters
again, and
see if that does it?
Or perhaps there's some other setting that's overriding or
preventing
the .zip option? Any publish setting changes since it used to
work?

How can I get pubished parameters to display the available settings

how can I get pubished parameters to display the available settings?

according to the online help, I'm supposed to click on Title to get to the titles settings as follows
"Adjust a title’s settings
You can modify a title’s default settings in the Title inspector.
Select a title in the Timeline.
Choose Window > Show Inspector (or press Command-4), and click the Title button at the top of the pane that appears.
Adjust the available settings as needed.
Note: You can also keyframe many of the settings in both the Title and Text inspectors."
Gsoing to the Text inspector, there does not seem to be anything in the menu where I can change the color of the text. Based on the photo that appears with the above instructions --it appears the ability to change ink color is under the Published Parameters that is the menu I cannot get to 'drop'

"Invoke a Browser Script" Action in OBIEE 11g

Follow website : http://www.rittmanmead.com/2012/07/navigating-to-bi-content-in-obiee11g-and-passing-multiple-parameters/
In file "D:\oracle\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\servers\AdminServer\tmp\_WL_user\analytics_11.1.1\silp1v\war\res\b_mozilla\actions\UserScripts.js"
I added the following function(s) to "UserScripts.js":
USERSCRIPT.customPortalPageNav = function(arg_array){
var str="parent.PortalPageNav(1";
for(args in arg_array){
var arg_name=args;
var value=arg_array[arg_name];
str+=",'"+value+"'";
str+=")";
eval(str);
USERSCRIPT.customPortalPageNav.publish={parameters:[
          new USERSCRIPT.parameter("1","Dashboard","/shared/FOLDERNAME/_portal/DASHBOARDNAME"),
          new USERSCRIPT.parameter("2","Page","Insert your Page"),
          new USERSCRIPT.parameter("3","Table","Insert Table"),
          new USERSCRIPT.parameter("4","Column","Insert Column"),
          new USERSCRIPT.parameter("5","Value","Insert Value")]};
However, this function "USERSCRIPT.customPortalPageNav" cannot be displayed in "Invoke a Browser Script" Action.
If I put the function name "USERSCRIPT.customPortalPageNav" directly in the "Invoke a Browser Script" Action dialogue, an error message will be shown. It said:
The function "USERSCRIPT.customPortalPageNav" does not exist.
Please check with your administrator that this function has been setup correctly in the user-defined script file.
What I have done wrongly? Or, how can I check the "UserScripts.js" file path is correct? How can I find a correct path for "UserScripts.js">

Hi Dpka,
Yes, I do. But, still the same.
In fact, I can see two sample functions in "Invoke a Browser Script" Action. (i.e. USERSCRIPT.putUrlInFrame, USERSCRIPT.example_displayParameters).
I edit "USERSCRIPT.example_displayParameters", replace "new USERSCRIPT.parameter( 'p3', 'Enter value for Param 3' )" to "new USERSCRIPT.parameter( 'p3', 'Enter value for Param 3', 'p3 default value' )".
Still, there is no default value for "p3".
So, I wonder whether my file path is wrong. But, how can I know where is the exact path?
