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.

Dynamically change column heading without Dashboard Prompt

Hi All,
My requirement is change the column heading dynamically in a report. I have achieved this through setting the presentation variable to the dashboard prompt.
I have 5 columns in the dashboard prompt. Out of these 5 columns, I want to use only 1 column as dashboard prompt.
But still I want to dynamically change the column heading of the other 4 columns based on the only 1 column selected in the dashboard prompt.
Is there anyway to achieve this?

You need to have some logic to change other 4 columns based on 1 selected column.. where you want put that logic?
BTW: Check these

How to get value in dashboard prompt from database

Hi All,
I am using dashboard prompt (Year Prompt) to filter reports on year basis.
fact table stores the hit date on a particular site linked with date dimension table .
I have Datas in fact table say from year 2005 to 2009 .In dashboard Prompt it is showing me all the years 1990 to 2021(that are in date dimension).
I hard coded the value of years in prompt now it only showing me years 2005 to 2009.
My question is that is their any way that prompt automatically take values from database, those years which are stored in fact table ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi...
Try writing query for dashboard prompt to get desired values..
*select distinct year(FactTable.HitDate) from SubjectAreaName*
To work this.. you should have HitDate column in presentation layer. (You can drag this column from fact in BMM and drop in any dimensions of presentation Layer, and name it as HitDate (Fact).. some thing like this...

How to pass values to dashboard prompts from external applications

Any idea is well appreciated.
How can I pass values of dashboard prompts from external applications to the dashboard prompts so that the dashboard is prefiltered based on values sent by external applications.
Thanks in Advance!
Kris

Kris,
i am able to change the session variable and able to call the dashboard from external app, but i identified prompt value not changing. but Finally i am able to found a workaround for you.
Use the following URL and it explained here
http://localhost:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&nquser=Administrator&nqpassword=Administrator&PortalPath=/shared/abcd/_portal/dash1&Options=rmf&DSN=madan
PortalPath is your dashboard location. /shared/abcd is folder where i saved dashboards. dash1 is my dashboard name.
internally this dashboard includes many reports that uses the session variable. after doing above this i am able to update the session variable to the value i have given in URL, DSN=value.
You may observer here that calls the dashboard and passes the value but its not updating the prompt value. so workaround for this is edit your prompt,
change the Default to - SQL Results and place the sql
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN Markets.Region ELSE VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.DSN) END saw_0 FROM Paint
again here Market.Region is column from presentation layer and Paint is subject area. After doing this step, your prompt always shows value in the session varible as default.
Now include reports and dashboard prompt in the dashboard and run this url from external applicaitons.
http://localhost:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&nquser=Administrator&nqpassword=Administrator&PortalPath=/shared/abcd/_portal/dash1&Options=rmf&DSN=madan
it worked for me and blog this soon. if it works for you mark the question as answered and mark my replies as correct.
thanks

How to change the column value which is coming from DO by a calculated field?

Hi all,
I want to change a column value based on my calculated field value. I have a column which is coming from DO which is based on External Data Source. I have a calculated field in my report. When there is any change in the calculated field then the column which is coming from DO needs to be changed. It means the DO needs to get updated when there is a change in the calculated field. Or like if the calculated field meets some condition then I need to change/update the same in the DO. This has to be done on the fly. the report should not submitted for this. when there is a change in the calculated column the DO column needs to get updated.
Thanks,
Venky.

Constraining Values in Dashboard Prompts

Hi,
I have a question about constraining values in dashboard prompts. Do all fields need to come from the same table as I am finding constraining values is not working where I am selecting some values from different tables:
For example
Start Date - Fact Table
End Date - Fact Table
Salesperson - Org Dim
Market - Org Dim
Introducer - Org Dim
Customer - Org Dim
I am trying to constrain values beginning from Salesperson and so on but this does not work.
Is this the expected behaviour? should all values be retrieved from the same table in order for this to work?
Thanks

Hi,
Below is the filter I am applying in the report:
"Agreement Fact"."Prop Creation Date" >= Evaluate('to_date(%1,%2)','@{startdate}','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')
and "Agreement Fact"."Prop Creation Date2" <= Evaluate('to_date(%1,%2)','@{enddate}','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')
and Organisation.Market = '@{market}'
and Organisation."Sales Person Name" = '@{salesperson}'
and Organisation."Introducer Name" = '@{introducer}'
and Organisation."Customer Name" = '@{customer}'
I have selected constrain in the report from salesperson onwards but instead when I run the dashboard report the values beginning with salesperson do not show.
I definitely know that data exists for the date parameters(startdate and enddate) and market parameter. I have run a report in answers using the same parameters as in dashboard and do see data.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

OBIEE - How to selectively hide or disable columns on a dashboard prompt?

Hello! I need some help with OBIEE dashboard Prompts. Any help will be highly appreciated!
Question 1. How to selectively hide or disable columns on a dashboard prompt or the entire prompt? There seems to be no "hide" or "dsable" options on
prompts.
Question 2. How to synchronize 2 different prompts on the same dashboard?
The application is this: There are total of 2 tabs on a dashboard ("tab_1" and "tab_2"). Each tab uses different prompts ("pr_1" and "pr_2"), having just one first drop down column in common ("Product_id").
The desired functionality is this: user selects "Product_id" on the first tab's prompt, which filters its reports (on "Go") and also propagates to the second tab. When user clicks on the second tab, the reports there are already filtered (or begin filtering) by "product_id", selected on the first tab.
Question 3. How to prevent the reports from retrieving when switching to a different tab on a dshboard? Specifying dummy default values in the prompt does
not seem to preven reports from retrieving, which still takes time.
Thank you very much!
Roger

Regarding Question 2:
What you need to have is a Dashboard scope dashboard prompt for Product_ID (i.e., Don't use the column prompt from the prompt tab within the Request.)
1) Create the dashboard prompt, put it on tab1 and save the prompt to a presentation variable, say prmtProdID. Set the scope to "dashboard." (This is the default, by the way.) If you create a dashboard prompt and set the scope to "dashboard," then the prompt values selected will hold true across dashboard pages.
2) On tab2, go to your report and in Criteria mode, apply a filter to the Product_ID column making it equal to the PV. (Click the filter icon, Add>Variable>Presentation Variable and type prmtProdID. Save.)
When the user selects a Product_ID on tab1 of your dashboard and hits "Go," not only will it filter your report on tab1, when you go to tab2 the report here will be filtered with the same value selected in the prompt on tab2.
Regarding Question 3:
If you implement 2, you cannot implement 3. You can't have it both ways. Not for the same scenario. But if you want to know how to do it in general, read this:

Passing Values to Dashboard Prompt

Hi Gurus,
I have a summary Dashboard page with summary report and prompt build on Summary table , and i have a detail dashboard page contains Detail report and prompt same as Summary but these prompts are from Dimension tables and report from fact and Dimension.
The requirement is Once i click some value in Summary dashboard it has to pass the values to Detail dashboard ( Means Passing the values to Dashboard prompt) and show the result in detail.
As i cant use the OBIEE navigation logic to pass the values as prompts columns are not from same table. So i thought to use the GO URL this also i cant use as i am using Pivot table in Summary report. I thought to use Summary prompt in the detail Dashboard and create a dummy reports based on the prompt and resultant value pass to the Detail reports. I am able get the values but i am not getting proper answer. I dont no why .
Is i am doing correct ? i know its not elegant way. If some one give me tip or direction that will be great help.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Ali

If you are attempting to pass a value from one table1.column1 to another table2.column2 where the two do not match then you will need to use a presentation variable to hold the value. You can populate the variable using a hidden dashboard prompt that has the table1.table2 and read the value into a variable. You can then use this variable to filter the table2.column2

How to cache columns that are dashboard prompts?

Hi,
I have a few columns in a table that are defined as dashboard prompts. The values in a particular column in the dashboard prompt are constrained based on the value selected in the previous dashboard prompt. Once a user logs in he/she can see only the data based on his role.
How do I cache the dashboard prompt table (columns of which are defined as dashboard prompts) and the security table (which determines the user's role and finally determines the data level security) so the user does not have to wait too long for the landing page to show up once he logs in.
Thanks for inputs.

Here is how you seed the cache:

How to Rename the "All Column Values" in Propmt for 11 G.

Hello,
i have one Requirement where i have to change the "All Column values" label to custom label.
I know how to do in 10 g but as here in 11g the oracle directory structure is changed.
if anyone have idea how to do this?
Thanking you..

Hi Veer,
I think "kmsgPromptRunTimeDropdownAllChoices" is the identifier which will pick up this value from a messages file. Request you to search for this string in Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web folder's files if you can get one.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,

To change entire column value in a single go.

Hi all,
I have a internal table with company as one of the field. The table may contain any company in the company field. I need to change all company values to a single company without looping. For example the company field may contain 030, 032, 036, 010 etc. But these I want to change to single company 030 "without looping". Like as we do for delete without looping, is it possible in my case?
Thanks with regards,
Suresh.

You could try something like
wa-bukrs = '030'.
MODIFY itab FROM wa TRANSPORTING bukrs WHERE bukrs NE '030'.

Hi Karol,
Yes the prompt is working fine when i put this following method under the "Button" Component.
APPLICATION.openPromptDialog(800, 600);
Somehow the when i use the "Input Field" and use the "Button" Component and write this following logic inside it i don't see the prompt is not taking the values what i am entering in input field i assume that its issue with data-source not getting refreshed.
Variable=INPUTFIELD_1.getValue();
APPLICATION.setVariableValue("PercentageIncrease",Variable);
Thanks,

Sorting a column does not result in distinct values on Dashboard prompts

Hi,
We have a period column, the records of which are 'JAN-02' , "FEB-02"...."DEC-09". We need sort this column in descending order in Dashboard Prompts. We have another column "Date", which has been used to sort the period column. To achieve this in descending order, we have converted Show Results from “All Values” to “SQL Results” in dashboard prmpts, then entered the below sql.
SELECT "CODE COMBINATIONS"."LINE AC PERIOD" FROM INVOICE_PAYMENTS
order by "CODE COMBINATIONS"."LINE AC DATE" desc
The above sql resulted in non-distinct values as below. Using distinct in the above sql throws syntax error.
Period
JAN-09
JAN-09
JAN-09
FEB-09
FEB-09
How do we get distinct values and in descending order??
Thanks and appreciate any ideas
Surya

Go to advanced tab and check "Use distinct clause" that will fire a distinct to the query.
In the rpd month logical column , there is an option called sort order in the general properties and you need to specify the date column if you need to sort it based on the date column and in the Answers you can simply enable Descending sort order on the same column. That should take care of it
Hope it helps
Thanks
