Cascading Prompts - Display issues

Hi all ,
I built a Cascading Prompt report in Answers and intergrated in one of my dashboards.
Now in Dashboard I want it to show as a report but the complete report dispayed as simple Prompt (with 1st input ) .When I click on 1st input the prompting process is getting opened in different window.When I enter 2nd ,3rd and 4th inputs then the real report will appear in the same new window. Once I see the report and click on return it then takes me to Dashboard.
Now How do I show this complete process in dashboard only and I do not want these Cascading reports opens in a different window.
Is there any better way to create/handle cascading prompt reports ..any new ideas like can we create a dashboard prompt and pass it to reports .Any suggesstion are most welcome or come well !!
Thanks
SS

SS,
I saw a tutorial somewhere on how to do it.

  • Cascading prompt in obiee 11g

    Greetings All!!
    We are trying to create the cascading prompt. The region prompt has all column values and when we click on all column values,
    we do not want state prompt to display any values. In obiee prompt, there is an option to limit values by prompt ,however it does not
    work for all column values since we do not want to show the state values after clicking column values.
    Any feedbacks are highly welcome.
    region 1
    region 2
    all column values
    state1
    state 2
    Thanks,

    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.
    Thanks

  • Cascading prompts are not working after UNX conversion.

    Hi,
    We have converted universe to UNX format, but after conversion the cascading prompts are not working. Following is the one of the example of the cascading prompt which is having issue:
    We have cascading object named u201CGroup - Deviceu201D as below:
    CONCAT(CONCAT(@select(Performance Management\Group\Group Name),' - '),@select(Performance Management\Device\Device Name))
    In the SQL Assistance windows, validate button properly validates this object.
    Based on the above object, we have filter named u201CEnter/Select Group u2013 Deviceu201D with following definition:
    @select(Performance Management\Performance Reporting Objects\Performance Custom Dimensions\Group - Device) In  @prompt('Enter/Select Device Names','A','Performance Management\Performance Reporting Objects\Performance Custom Dimensions\Group - Device',Multi,Free,Not_Persistent)
    When I click on the validate button for this filter, it doesnu2019t says whether the expression invalid or valid. It does not return anything. I checked the error log windows of IDT and it shows below error once we validate the above filter:
    Message: Unhandled event loop exception

    This problem is for all the cascading prompts, and only single level prompts are working after conversion to UNX.
    Can anyone please help on this? Am I missing any manual changes which are mandatory after UNX conversion for this to work.
    Thanks,

    Hi Henry,
    Thanks for your reply. Yes I have raised SAP ticket for this.
    We are at BI 4.0 SP2 Patch 12.
    This problem is for all the cascading prompts which created using objects which are having u201CLOV based on Query Panelu201D, it doesnu2019t return the results, when I edit the LOV > edit the query and then click refresh to see the data, the refresh button does not appear.
    So I tried creating u201CLOV based on a custom hierarchyu201D as indicated in SAP note u2013 1666504 but it also doesnu2019t work. I used the object (that uses the LOV based on a custom hierarchy) to create the new cascading prompt, when I used this prompt in WEBI report, it only displays prompts for first value and not the second based on first input.
    I searched SAP KB and found this note u2013 u201C1620378 - Cascading (nested) prompts are not working for Web Intelligence reports in BI 4u201D which describes bug related to cascading prompts in unv as well as unx. But I am not sure if itu2019s the same which I am getting.
    Thanks,
    Nilesh

  • Web Intelligence Cascading Prompts

    Hi all,
    I have a question about Web Intelligence, I am building a webi query over the top of a Bex query, so using a BICS connection. The customer wants to user cascading Query prompts, so basically if the user selects Italy as a country only the products sold in Italy will be displayed as possible selections in a product query prompt. Does anyone know how to do this? I have looked at the ‘Result from another Query’ option where we could have chained two queries together, however this option is not available in a BICS connection.
    Any help is gratefully appreciated.
    Thanks
    Dave

    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.

  • Dynamic Cascading prompt in Webi

    Is there a way either at Webi/Universe level to create dynamic cascading prompt in webi based on selection from first filter object.
    e.g. two objects, Region and Office.
    In webi, Region is the first filter, Office is the second.
    After user selects a Region, I want the second Office prompt values to display only the offices for the region that user's selected.
    Is there is a way to do? or a work round?
    If I just create cascading LOV, it will just display all regions and it's offices together.
    Thanks

    You try the below
    Go to the Office Property.
    Edit the List of Values for the Office object.
    Check the Automatic Refresh Before Use option.
    Click Edit.
    Bring Region into the Conditions and set it to: in list Prompt('What Region?')
    Click Save and Close
    Click Apply and edit the next LOV object.
    Save this Universe and let's generate a report.
    Now in the report you create the Prompt on Region. Prompt('What Region?')
    Have a look in to

  • CR XI Cascading Prompt on Dynamic Parameter Value

    Hi friends need a help related to Cascading prompt parameter in CR XI.
    I need to modify an existing report wherein Stored Procedure having a parameter is used as a datasource. Now in Report when I go in edit mode for that parameter under the value section of it a query (&select col1,col2 from tbl where userid='value coming from front end app') is written which populates the value to select the particluar value to pass as a parameter. First of all what this functionality is termed as I am not aware of it please help me with it if somebody knows it. Also in the select list its mention 2 columns but when we run the report at that time the col2 data is only being displayed in dropdown and col1 which is a id field is passed in record selection formula.
    Now as per our requirement we need to introduce 1 more parameter for record filtering i.e. based on the above parameter value. This can be achieve through Dynamic Cascading Prompt. But the challenge is to use Cascading Prompt funcionality its necessary that both the parent & child field should be populate from db but here the parent value is populate using a query as I stated so in that case how to achieve this.
    Sorry if I am not able to explain the scenario properly.
    Please friends help as soon as possible.

    Looking at the Prompt text you have mentioned, it looks like you guys might have a front end SDK solution which passes the prompt values to the 'Report'. The cascading 'imitation if you will' might be happening on the front end page and not really using the report(s) cascading prompts. To help better i think you should answer following.
    1. where are users viewing this report.
    2. In your CR designer, do you see cascading prompt on existing prompts?
    3. what version of Crystal reports are you using and where is it hosted ?

  • Default values in cascading prompts

    Hi,
    We are using Crystal Reports 2008 and our environment is Business Objects XI 3.1.
    We have certain crystal reports with dynamic cascading prompts. Is there anyway where we can set the default value in the child parameter based upon the value selected in the parent parameter.
    Thanks

  • 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

  • Creation of Dynamic cascading prompts

    Hi, Could you please let me know how to create Dynamic Cascading Prompts at Universe level?

    Hi,
    Dynamic Cascading prompts can be created using Cascading lovs. For this you should have some hierarchies defined in universe (assumption) and go to tools-> lovs -> cascading lovs -> in the window all the available hierarchies are displayed for you -> select a required hierarchy from left side and place it in right side -> click on generate lovs (in between create a prompt name that should appear for this hierarchy) and in query panel level -> insert a prompt for the least granular object in the hierarchy then in report you will get a cascading prompts for that hierarchy.
    Cheers,
    Suresh Aluri.

  • I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well.

    I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well. However, itunes can not do anything with the phone because the phone is locked and I can not unlock the phone because the screen is black.
    >CURVEBALL!!!<
    The screen does work though! Through trial and error along side a little troubleshooting, I was able to figure out that the screen will cut on after the phone dies completely. The phone has to die completely with no battery power left. Then if I plug the phone into a charge and wait a while for it to charge, the phone will turn on like nothing was ever even wrong with it. I charge the phone up to like 30% and turn it off then bam the phone turns on but the screen is solid black again.
    I am currently in the process of waiting for the phone to die and when I turn the phone back on I am going to completely remove the auto-lock and lock code off of the phone for the time being.
    Any other suggestions? Please help!

    Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

  • Display issue on brand new 2014 X1 Carbon Touch

    So I was about to start raving about my X1C that I just received. Loving the display, the keyboard, build quality, etc. I had no gripes and was just browsing away when suddenly the screen did the full glitch. I recognize this as what happens when something's messed with the motherboard/display adapter. So I gave it a reset. All was normal and then it happened again. I was able to replicate it 3-4 times and it keeps happening. I never dropped it or anything. It was always just stationary.
    I can't believe this. I had problems with the first gen non-touch and touch. I was hoping by now they have improved.

  • Display Issues with mini (Mid 2010) and LG L246WP

    I recently purchased a new mini (Mid 2010 base model) and planned to use it with my 24" LG L246WP monitor, which is about 3 years old. The monitor has VGA, component, and HDMI inputs.
    I used an HDMI-to-HDMI cable to connect the mini directly to the monitor, and the output is completely messed up. The mini recognized the monitor (titling the System Preferences > Display dialog with 'L246WP') and set it to the monitor's native resolution of 1920x1200, but on the monitor the image is cropped to what looks like a 4:3 aspect ratio and with part of the image shifted up and left so I cannot view the top menu bar or the left hand side of the desktop. The monitor's on-screen display shows 1080p in this mode.
    The Display dialog also gives me an option for 1080p. I can select this and use the Underscan slider to resize the desktop output to fit on the screen, but it is still shifted left and must be resized smaller than the available display space (plus the total image is only 1080 pixels, not using the monitor's full native screen). In this mode, 1080p also shows on the monitor's on-screen display.
    I tried 1024x768 to see if I could get a properly-positioned image, but the desktop was shifted just like in the 1920x1200 case and the monitor's on-screen display status still reported 1080p.
    The monitor has a menu setting under an HDMI heading with "Video" and "PC" options, but changing this selection does not make a difference.
    Since the monitor came out before HDMI was as widespread as it is today, it came with a DVI-to-HDMI cable, so I also tried using that cable with the HDMI-to-DVI adapter that came with the mini, but this did not make a difference either.
    To prove it wasn't the HDMI cable, I connected the mini to my Samsung 6300 series 40" LED HDTV and with some tweaking of the Underscan slider the displayed image filled the screen perfectly.
    I've searched the Internet and various forum threads (i.e. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1167222&page=63) seem to indicate this monitor can send a corrupted EDID that causes issues, especially with nVidia graphics drivers. On Windows you can use registry or driver hacks to override the EDID with the correct values, but on OS X this doesn't seem possible (I was hoping for a Terminal one-liner but it seems this doesn't exist). I have seen some mentions of the shareware SwitchResX (http://www.madrau.com), which looks like it gives you the option to override resolution settings, but I haven't tried this yet.
    It also appears to me that the monitor is always interpreting the signal (or the mini is always sending the signal) as 1080p, even if I've set 1920x1200 in the Display dialog. I don't know if this is a defect in the monitor where it always assumes the HDMI input is a 1080p source (previous I used it with an Xbox 360 with no issues but that was 1080p HDMI), or if is a bug in the graphics drivers (or at least a lack of flexibility / miscommunication to the user trying to handle a corrupt EDID).
    I asked my local Genius Bar for advice today (without bringing any hardware in) but was not told anything I didn't already know.
    I'm trying to determine the best way to work through this issue. *My questions are:*
    Would it make any difference if I used a Mini DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter (and then my DVI-to-HDMI cable to the monitor's HDMI input)?
    What about a Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter? In the past I used a 12" Powerbook (via a mini-DVI-to-VGA adapter) with this monitor and had no display issues like this, but I'd prefer to stick with a digital connection on my brand new mini.
    Is SwitchResX the only practical way in OS X to override a corrupt EDID and force the mini to output a certain resolution?
    Besides the various adapters and SwitchResX, is there anything else I should try before buying a new monitor?

    Hello EPWilson4984.
    I have been experiencing the same issues you described. Connecting my brand new Mac Mini to my Westinghouse 24”monitor (L2410NM,  1920x1200 pixel resolution) produces a very fuzzy and washed out image quality. The Mac recognizes the monitor and applies the right resolution (1920x1200), but it looks just awful. The EDID info is definitely not right.
    Now, I tried your suggestion (DVI-to-HDMI), and similar suggestions from other threads, but nothing works. Nothing seems to work at all.
    The main input for the monitor is HDMI, so whatever cable I use, in the end always has to connect to the monitor via HDMI. I tried all these combinations with zero success:
    Mac mini -> HDMI cable -> monitor (result: fuzzy and blurry image)
    Mac mini -> displayport –HDMI adapter-> HDMI cable -> monitor (result: fuzzy and blurry image)
    Mac mini  -> displayport –DVI adapter-> DVI-to-HDMI cable -> monitor (result: it gives me a blank screen, no image at all)
    I’m running out of options. Don’t know what to do. The 24” monitor produces beautiful, crisp images when hooked to my Windows 7 PC. It looks horrible when connected to my brand new Mac Mini.
    Any alternatives you may have come across? Please let me know, thank you.
