'&' character creating a problem in the reports query

Hi
I am facing a problem with the '&' character in the reports
The top level reports return data .One field in the top level report contain certain values that have '&' character in it.
When we navigate to the second report,it says "No Data" .
On checking the query at the backend,it displays data as soon as we comment this particular "WHERE" clause containing the '&' character
EG:WHERE Name ="a&b"
the query takes the &' character in "Name" column as an input fileld and hence it fails.
I checked some blogs on this.But all explains on using SET define off/Or use CONCATENATE to iinsert this kind of data
But how do we make the server understand to read this &' character also as a normal text instead of taking it as an input parameter?
Is there anything that can be done at the OBIEE RPD level?
Thanks in advance

  • Implicit Fact column creating problem to the reports.

    Hi Friends,
    I have two reports from same subject area from two different facts F1 & F2.
    I have created one implicit column, as it is unable to judge from which fact it needs to build the query. So, it is genarting query from fact F1.
    I have created one logical column in the fact and marked it as Implict column in presnenation layer.( as we the process)
    But the problem is, for both the reports it is using same implicit column and it is generating the query with only one fact F1.
    It is excluding the other fact F2.
    One report it shoud use Fact1 and other report it should use Fact2.
    PLease hep me in regarding this,
    Thanks & Regards,

    Kalyan J VFrom my understanding, implicit fact column's are set a subject area level and not dimension/fact level. So the fact table you have set for implicit fact will be used in both the reports. Why dont you just drag the second fact into the report and hide it, if you are not trying to use the fact 1 that is setup as implicit fact?

  • BI Publisher: Issue while scheduling the report/query to be executed daily

    Hi,
    We are using Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.6.3 and while we schedule a report(RTF Template) we are facing issue.We use bursting query and when we select option to execute immediately it runs fine and sends notifications,it also executes when we schedule it to run Once but fails when i schedule the report to be executed DAILY .

    hii
    The query does not includes any RKF, CKF any complex calculations. as I said before also query is based on MP which is designed on a single Cube. There are no such navigational Attributes used for selection, Number of records are not more than 300 on that particular selection parameter
    there is only one info object which is creating issue & it is a master info object. If i am restricting this info object in the query & then executes the query , it gives the error msg also i put a variable for input parameter, & there I restrict the value, then also query executes with an error msg
    But if query is not restricted with  any value for that info object then query executes with in a second.
    Thanks

  • ORA-00904 - invalid identifier when adding new column to the report query

    Hi,
    I am trying to add a new field to an existing bespoke report query. When I click on ok, I get the following error
    message: "ORA-00904: <field name> : invalid identifier ==> <field_name>
    Any ideas what is causing this problem? Version of the report builder is : 6.0.8 and is connected to a 10.2 db.
    Any help appreciated.

    What is the field name ? Maybe a reserved word ? Change to "my_new_variable" to check...

  • Problem Modifying the reports

    Hi friends,
    I changed the name of my Business Model in Admin tool.
    Now whenever I'm trying to modify my previous reports, I'm not able to access the columns there and it gives me the following message on the left.
    "Either you do not have permission to use the subject area "ABC" within Answers, or the subject area does not exist."
    Please help

    This is a problem that I believed Oracle fixed with 10.1.3.4.
    In previous versions, you will need to replace the columns. (An alias is created so if there is no change to the design, the reports would run fine. But when you try to make modifications to the design is when the problem occurs.)

  • Character is not showing in the report.

    Hai All,
       I have enhanced the data source with the new field and assigned that to dimension in the cube. I don't see the new character in the report to make it as free character. Any help in this regard is appreciated.
    Thanks.
    VP.

    Not sure if this helps, but if your query is based of a multi provider, then make sure you are identifying the newly added field in the indentification section of the characteristics in MP.
    Else, go to RSRT -> Environment -> Generate queries directly -> give the infocube name -> press F8.
    Then logout of BEx and try after re-logging.
    Good luck!

    Hi Shiva,
    I am using two more select queries with the same manner ....
    here are the other two select query :
    ***************1************************
    SELECT * APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE tbl_summary
        FROM ztftelpt LEFT JOIN ztfzberep
         ON  ztfzberep~gjahr = st_input-gjahr
         AND ztfzberep~poper = st_input-poper
         AND ztfzberepcntr  = ztftelptrprctr
        WHERE rldnr  = c_telstra_projects
          AND rrcty  = c_actual
          AND rvers  = c_ver_001
          AND rbukrs = st_input-bukrs
          AND racct  = st_input-saknr
          AND ryear  = st_input-gjahr
          and rzzlstar in r_lstar             
          AND rpmax  = c_max_period.
    and the second one is
    *************************2************************
      SELECT * APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE tbl_summary
        FROM ztftelnt LEFT JOIN ztfzberep
         ON  ztfzberep~gjahr = st_input-gjahr
         AND ztfzberep~poper = st_input-poper
         AND ztfzberepcntr  = ztftelntrprctr
        WHERE rldnr  = c_telstra_networks
          AND rrcty  = c_actual
          AND rvers  = c_ver_001
          AND rbukrs = st_input-bukrs
          AND racct  = st_input-saknr
          AND ryear  = st_input-gjahr
          and rzzlstar in r_lstar                              
          AND rpmax  = c_max_period.
    for both the above table program is taking very less time .... although both the table used in above queries have similar amount of data. And i can not remove the APPENDING CORRESPONDING. because i have to append the data after fetching from the tables.  if i will not use it will delete all the data fetched earlier.
    Thanks on advanced......

  • Can v create graphical display for the report

    Hi to everyone
    my q is this can v create trend lines for a report ........
    if the ans is yes then pl mention the way of doing it .......

    when you run a bex report on the left top you have a button "graph". If you click this, you get a basic chart representing your output table. when you right-click on the chart you get the option menu as you get in xls, meaning you can change the type of chart (line, bar, pie,...) the series, the titles and so on (like regular xls)
    so the answer to your question is yes. If you want even more features you can use workbooks.

  • Re: Date related problem in the report parameter

    Hi Friends,
    I am done a report and i registered the the report in the and for this report i had given two parameters 'Date_from' and 'Date_to' for this two dates i had taken value set as 'Date' which is None type value set and contians 9 Characters.
    My probelm if i give values for this parameters
    Date_from value is 21-JAN-08
    Date_to value is 11-Mar-08
    it is showing the error like this
    'please choose a low value that is lower than the high value'
    it is considering the 21 and 11 numbers first it is not considering the
    months.
    please reply any one to this asap.
    Thanks In Advance!!
    Thanks
    Anushka Valluru

    Hi Chiru,
    Thanks for your reply and i also tried with this but
    i am getting error becuase in my query in the where
    clause i used like below
    WHERE (TO_DATE (ldate, 'DD-MON-YY') BETWEEN
    NVL (TO_DATE (:p_date_begin,'DD-MON-YY'), TO_DATE
    (ldate, 'DD-MON-YY') )
    AND
    NVL (TO_DATE (:p_date_end,'DD-MON-YY' ),TO_DATE
    (ldate, 'DD-MON-YY')) )
    so it is not taking the dates, in standard date, it
    is taking total time also and the date format is also
    different.so what i have to do?
    please reply for this asap
    Thanks
    AnushkaAnu,
    Can you post your entire query? How did you define your exectuable?
    The standard date has the date and the timestamp. You need to substr and get the date part.
    Example:
    1) use the FND_STANDARD_DATE value set.
    2) use the following select statement in the default value of your date parm
    select to_char(trunc(sysdate),'DD-MON-RRRR')from dual
    3) Where ever you are capturing each of the dates in your query (like your begin/end dates), use the following:
    to_date(substr(I_date,1,10),'RRRR-MM-DD') --replace "I_date" with your date
    --replace date mask with your date mask
    Hope this helps...
    Thanks,
    Chiru

  • Problem in the "select" query....Just check out and help me

    Just so everyone knows:
    Ram Mohan joined the forum on 7-Sep-2003 and received
    his 25 Dukes for joining.
    Since then, he's posted three questions, each one
    promising 5-10 Dukes, and never once awarded them.
    His strategy seems to be to wave Dukes, ask his
    hit-and-run question, and then bolt.
    Answer his questions if you wish, but don't do it
    expecting Dukes. - MODDuffy, you're getting just as cranky as I have. See what hanging around these forums does to oneself? :)

  • How can I change the report query source on the fly

    I am new to Bi Publisher,
    I have a user that wants to select certain columns in the table then have bi publisher make a pdf on just those columns
    without making different reports for each of there choices, how can i make the report variable?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Hi Doug,
    You can also use lexical parameters to determine the columns in a Data Template (or Oracle Report)... taking it to the extreme the major components of a BI Publisher data template could be dynamic.... something like:
    select &select_clause
    from &from_clause
    where &where_clause

  • Filter problem in the report

    Experts,
    We have a problem with Filter on Costcenter taking very very long time . When we click on Filter button  on Cost center after executing a BW report, then a new window opens and nothing happens after that with a blank white screen in the filter window.  We have tried so many options to improve performance but only one thing worked out as a work around.
    I have deleted enteried in the master data table using TC SE14 and then reloaded master data. Then filter on this working now with in 1 min. But we have process chains running every day loading Master data .Once these process chains finish again when we filter on Cost center on the next day, now the problem still exists , takes long time to for filter window to open up. Is there any way to delete master data entries delete automatically. Any advice appreciated .
    Thanks

    Hi Kiran,
    Is that u are doing the master data full upload?
    Try to do delta loads.
    If it is the client specific. Create a process chain to delete the same master data contents. and schedule the process chain to run daily night or just before the master data loads happen, so that it will not affect the runtime. Else have to delete the same manually.
    Hope this helps u.
    regards,
    Kishore.
