Cascade dashboard prompts in OBIEE 10.1.3.4

Hi,
Is there any concept of Cascade dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
I have a requirement as described below -
Start date and End date dashboard prompts. (Calendar) - Results of Start Date and End Date selected are captured in the Presentation Variables Startdt, Enddt respectively.
Promotions dashboard prompt (multi select) - This Prompt should show the results from the SQL Query -
SELECT "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."National Promotion" FROM "SPDM" where "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."NP Status"='Active' and "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."NP Region"='Canada' and "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."NP Type"='National' and "- Calendar".Date BETWEEN DATE '@{Startdt}{06/28/2010}' AND DATE '@{Enddt}{12/31/2010}'
But the results are not populating in the Promotions Prompt. Can anyone help me in fixing this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sri

Hi
This is a known OBIEE bug.
Please refer http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/presentation_variable_initialization
With a Multi Select dashboard prompt
You cannot set a Presentation Variable in a Multi Select dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10g. This is expected behavior. OBIEE 10g is working as designed. A Presentation variable can assume a single value. Because of that, presentation variables are not available when using multi select prompts. OBIEE 11g will introduce the ability to set Presentation Variables when using multi select prompts. In 10g you can try as a workaround using more than 1 prompt.
I don't more work arounds than listed here:
http://obiee-blog.info/answers/multiselect-prompt-presentation-variable/
But, these work arounds might not suffice your issue.
Please let me know if you come up with a better solution.
Good Luck.
Chandu.

  • How to realize this reqirement in the dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10G?

    Hi,
    I have a new query about dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10g..
    All below is needed to Operator in the dashboard prompt.
    We have 4 columns, 4 columns using multi-select type need to constrain together and need to show value which is related with product..
    e.g.
    Now I display "REGION" column using multi-select in Control, and I need to show data which product name is not null. After I add "where product name is not null" in the SQL results in Show, then I cannot use the Constrain box.. and I cannot set any variable if I using multi-select type..
    So anybody have any idea about this?
    Your reply will be highly appreciate..
    Regards,
    Anne

    Hi Anne
    User Input type as " Multi select prompt" keep it with constrain option then apply below query

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • Some user cannot save Dashboard Prompt Selections OBIEE

    We are having issue with some users cannot able save dashboard prompt selections of themselves, even though the group they belong to has rights to it.
    This issue happens only for some users, it works fine for other users. They all belong to the same group.
    Access privilege on the Saved Selections is set for "Everyone".
    Any help will be great appreciated

    Verify if the 'My folders' for each user has been enabled or not. Usually , if 'My Folders' is disabled for that user there would'nt be any "_selections" folder created in the individual user catalog folder. Once the "My Folders" is enabled for that user via Manage Previlages , the users should be able to save the dashboard prompt selection 'for themselves and also for other too'.All the selections by the user would be saved to this folder.

  • Only one Apply button for Dashboard Prompt in obiee

    Hi experts,
    We have a need wer we need to place prompts at specified places like one at right top then next 3 one below other. But only one Apply button.
    Please let me know how to customize OBIEE 11.1.1.5 to achieve this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You are using OBIEE 11g ,so constrain the second report should be on the first prompt.I mean,In the second prompt properties we have an option like "based on the other prompt";where you need to give the first prompt column name.like wise third prompt also.
    Then you will get only one apply button for 3 prompts.
    mar if helpful/correct..

  • Dynamic Change Of Column Name based On The Dashboard Prompt in OBIEE 10g

    Hi All,
    I have a dashbord prompt called "calendar date". And, my report having some columns called "Product Name", "Code", "Yest Balance", "Today Balance". Now, while displaying the report in the dashboard, instead of "Today's Balance" they want to see the date which we have selected in the promt as a column name (each time we select a date in the promt, that would appear as a field name in stead of "Today's Balance" but values will be same (should show the balance for that date).
    Please advice.
    Thanks,
    BK.

    yeah...you are correct....these are workaround ...no out of box solution.
    Take the MAR11 target example in this current month is MAR 11 is populated by a session variable which gives you always current month.
    Second using union -combined query creating a header from one report and results from other report.
    But, coming to your req.......what ever the value selected in the calendar date that should come up in the column heading. so this is not possible with variable because for date of calendar image type you can not set a presentation variable. If not you can use a REQUEST VARIABLE.
    You can try 2nd way creating 2 reports one for header other for value.
    You can choose based on your flexibility. Instead you are showing the report along with prompt. I would suggest use appropriate name as 'selected date value'.

  • Dashboard prompts

    hello Guys,
    I have an issue with regard to the dashboard prompt in OBIEE 11g.
    I have a column Year that contains the latest 5 years.
    For latest or current year i.e,2012, what we are doing is doing the MAX (year) and for prior year (i.e.,) 2011, we are using EVALUATE(TO_CHAR(TO_NUMBER))..etc.).
    For the report, we need a dashboard prompt that should contain only current and prior year.
    Is there a way we can get this WITHOUT touching the rpd? (ie.,) what can we do at the report level to get the result.
    Please feel free to let me know if I am not clear.
    Thanks in advance for the help!!

    In that case that should be like "Year" IN (YEAR(CURRENT_DATE), YEAR(CURRENT_DATE)-1)
    use this in Prompt select SQL Results at 'Show'
    The below code should be in where clause
    "Year" IN (YEAR(CURRENT_DATE), YEAR(CURRENT_DATE)-1)
    Hope this helps

  • Cascaded Prompts in OBIEE 10g

    Hello friends,
    Can some help me to understand how to implement cascaded prompts in OBIEE 10g? My situation is:
    I have three Prompts P1,P2 and P3
    P1: Values are comming from a table
    P2: Shows the value from a Stored Procedure, such that one stored procedure takes input parameter from P1
    P3: Shows the value from a stored procedure , such that one stored procedure takes input parameter from P2
    After selecting value from P3 , I will run the report. So here P2 is based on P1 , P3 is based on P2, ie cascaded.
    I have tried this by checking the box Constrain for P2 and P3 (red some where that if we make a prompt with checked the Constrain box then its value depends on the previous prompt)
    But for me this is not working even if check the Constrain box.
    Can I some one help me to do this.
    Thanks,
    Mithun

    Hi Krish,
    Value of P1 Im passing to a stored procedure (say SP1) to populate P2, same way values in the P2 (which is the result from SP1) I'm passing to SP2 which in turn gives the values in P3.
    I'm using the SP1 and SP2 in the Physical layer as
    EXEC SP_NAME @parameter1 = 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ID)'
    Here ID is the session variable I have created.
    And in the Dashboard, I have created the prompt P1 (on a field which is from a table), then the value is passed to the variable ID by choosing the 'Request Variable' option in the Set Variable drop down.
    Same way I did for other SP by passing the value from P2..
    Here for P2 and P3 I have checked the box for constrain so that value of P2 is depended on P1 and value of P3 is depended on P2.
    But my problem is this method of cascading is not working.. that is P2 value is not changing based on the value I'm selecting in P1 ans same way for P3...
    Hope my issue is clear to you..
    Thanks,
    Mithun

  • Obiee 11g 11.1.1.6 Action links not taking into consideration DashBoard Prompts

    I really hope someone can help.
    I have a dashboard with an analysis that has a column that is not shown but is prompted via dashboard prompts.
    This dashboard is a summary set of data and the column in question is deliberately exclude at the request of the users for clarity within the analysis.
    An example would be a pivot report that looks something like this.....
    OrgUnit
    Year 2010-11
    Year 2011-12
    Org 1
    5
    19
    Org 2
    7
    25
    Org 3
    3
    7
    With a Prompt on the dashboard for example pay grade set to a default value.
    The dashboard prompt works just fine and only the items prompted for are shown.
    However - the dashboard report has another report linked via an Action Link - that allows you to drill down on one of the values.
    The prompts on the linked report are Org Unit, Year and Pay Grade.
    clicking on the Year 2010-11 value for Org 1 I would expect only 5 results however every value for the year 2010-11 at Org 1 is returned and the prompt on pay grade is ignored - obviously as it not passed by the action link!
    How can I get around this?
    Is this a 'feature' of OBIEE as other similar tools I  have used take any top level prompts as explicit parameters for further drill downs - any help would be appreciated.....
