Clean prompt field problem - OBIEE 11g

Hello guys!
We are facing this issue: we have a prompt with 3 fields: Name, Document Number, Account Number. Each of this three identifies a person. We have an "or" relation between these fields. So, if I put Name, I don't want put Doc Number, etc.
So, the problem is when I had filtred by Name (for example) and last, I want filter by Acc Number, so, I must "clean" Name field (like using "backspace" on text in prompt) and last select an Account Number. When I click "go", report doesn't filter by any field, and gets all rows in results.
I think that this problem is because when we "clean" Name field, and try to filter again, it is putting "null" instead of default value in "name" field.
Any ideas? It is possible to "intercept" filter values and convert that "null value" in "zero value" or "generic value"?
Thanks for your time!
Regards,
Ariel

I would add a Filter View to the Compound Layout and check if there really is a Null being passed. It doesn't sound like that should happen automatically unless there's a space or something being left. Also, are all the prompts Text Fields?
Please assign points if helpful/correct.

Problem with dashboard prompt initial value (OBIEE 11g)

Hi alli,
I have a problem with dashboard prompt and session variable in OBIEE 11g.
I have declared a session non-system variable which I set/change with dashboard prompt. At login the variable is initialized in initialization block that gets a value from an SQL select statement.
When I change the value in prompt, the session variable changes accordingly, as it should (change is made by calling function NQSSetSessionValue() within javascript function). While I am in my dashboard, cruising around pages the variable stays the same, and when I return to the page that has prompt on it, the correct value is shown. Everything works fine.
The problem occures when I go to Catalog (in presentation services) to create some new Answers. When I return back to the same page in dashboard (which has a prompt), the prompt selected value and session variable are set back to the default value. It looks like the initialization block is executed again.
My prompt is configured like this:
- Choice List Values: SQL Results
- Default selection: Variable Expression (@{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.VariableName']} )
- Set a variable: Presentation Variable
Is there a way to stop the initialization block from executing again? Isn't it logical that the initialization block executes only at login, when the session variable is empty? I don't need it to execute every time i come to the dashboard.
Thanks in advance,
Marko

How and where do you use the nqssetvalue() function.
I tried it in several places but it doesn't work.
Can you help me, please!
Thanks

Prompt issue in obiee 11g

Hi Gurus,
In dashboard while selecting prompt getting 'Unable to get value of the property 'viewstate':object is null or undefined error.i am using IE 9 browser.
could you please let me know how to resolve this issue ? Thanks in advance.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg622942%28v=VS.85%29.aspx
Basically, IE9 breaks flash ExternalInterface calls if your flash component is embedded with an object tag with an embed tag fallback, and the object id and embed name is the same.
The easiest workaround is to tell ie9 to render your page in IE8 Standards mode. To do this, insert this in the element:
 <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" >
Otherwise, you might just want to use the object tag only or embed tag only.

Image Prompt in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I would like to know how to configure the image for image prompt option in obiee 11g.
I done it in 10g.
Please help.
Thanks,
Lakshmipathi.

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

Anyone know if the installation needs to be done on the C drive only . i tried to specify the middleware home on the d drive and got stuck with an error at 98%
Invalid weblogic home specified: D:\app\OBIEE11g\wlserver_10.3
I havent encountered this when installing on the C drive . Oracle's documentation does not specify this requrement . does anyone know if this is a requirement? Any tips on a clean uninstall for the OBIEE 11g server ?

OBIEE 11g Radio Button Value show horizontally instead of vertically

Hi,
Can the Radio Buttons Prompt values in OBIEE 11g be shown horizontally instead of vertically on a dashboard prompt.
Thanks
Kathy

I cannot find it in the out of the box functionality. I think it might be possible with some custom programming which I do not have time to investigate.
If somebody has done this, please let us know if it is possible.

OBIEE 11g - serious problem when rotating columns into "table prompt" area

Hi, I'm hitting an OBIEE 11g issue that's causing huge problems on reports. Essentially, the problem is this - if I dump all the columns of a query to a table, everything looks fine. But if I rotate one of the columns into the "table prompts" area, OBIEE is actually resubmitting a WRONG query. The query format changes from:
WITH
SAWITH0 AS (select sum(T38965.ORIGINAL_BUDGET) as c1,
T12637.ORG_ID_DESC as c2
from
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNT T12582,

group by T12637.ORG_ID_DESC)
select D1.c1 as c1, D1.c2 as c2, D1.c3 as c3 from ( select distinct 0 as c1,
D1.c2 as c2,
D1.c1 as c3
from
SAWITH0 D1
order by c2 ) D1 where rownum <= 65001
and changes to:
WITH

from
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNT T12582,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ORG T12637,

order by c1, c2 ) D1 where rownum <= 65001
I completely do not understand what is going on here. The second query has a ton of problems. First off, it's doing some type of UNION operation - no idea why it's doing that. And the real problem is that it's unioning results from a different fact table, FACT_LEDGER_period instead of FACT_LEDGER_ytd, which is completely screwing up our results.
Long and short, I simply don't understand at all why the query should change just from rotating a column up into the table prompt area.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,
I see the query to be valid with each CTE doing the following Jobs.....
1. I understand that this particular query is being generated to get the unique "ORG_ID_DESC " to fill up the table prompts.
SAWITH0 AS (select distinct T12637.ORG_ID_DESC as c1
from
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNT T12582,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ORG T12637,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNTING_PERIOD T12597,
GL_ANALYTICS.FACT_LEDGER T38927 / FACT_LEDGER_period /
where ( T12582.ACCOUNT_KEY = T38927.ACCOUNT_KEY and T12597.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD = T38927.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD and T12597.FISCAL_YEAR = T38927.FISCAL_YEAR and T12582.STATEMENT_TYPE_CODE = 'Income Statement' and T12597.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD = 11 and T12597.FISCAL_YEAR = 2012 and T12637.ORG_KEY = T38927.ORG_KEY and T38927.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD = 11 and T38927.FISCAL_YEAR = 2012 and (T12637.DEPARTMENT_CODE_DESC in ('D0200 - Arts Administration', 'D0206 - Film Studies')) ) )
2. This particular query is to get each prompt value and its corresponding data
SAWITH1 AS (select sum(T38965.ORIGINAL_BUDGET) as c1,
T12637.ORG_ID_DESC as c2
from
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNT T12582,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ORG T12637,
GL_ANALYTICS.DIM_ACCOUNTING_PERIOD T12597,
GL_ANALYTICS.FACT_LEDGER T38965 / FACT_LEDGER_ytd /
where ( T12582.ACCOUNT_KEY = T38965.ACCOUNT_KEY and T12582.STATEMENT_TYPE_CODE = 'Income Statement' and T12597.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD = 11 and T12597.FISCAL_YEAR = T38965.FISCAL_YEAR and T12597.FISCAL_YEAR = 2012 and T12637.ORG_KEY = T38965.ORG_KEY and T38965.FISCAL_YEAR = 2012 and (T12637.DEPARTMENT_CODE_DESC in ('D0200 - Arts Administration', 'D0206 - Film Studies')) and T12597.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD >= T38965.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD )
group by T12637.ORG_ID_DESC)
3. This particular query, I understand is to get the following data (Sample data) relating the prompts and their corresponding data
column (c1) ;column (c2 ie ORG_ID_DESC); column(C3 ie sum(T38965.ORIGINAL_BUDGET))
0;               ORG_ID_DESC1; NULL
1;               ORG_ID_DESC1;10
0;               ORG_ID_DESC2;NULL
1;               ORG_ID_DESC2;40
0;               ORG_ID_DESC3;NULL
1;               ORG_ID_DESC3;29.8
SAWITH2 AS ((select distinct 0 as c1,
D1.c1 as c2,
cast(NULL as DOUBLE PRECISION ) as c3
from
SAWITH0 D1
union all
select distinct 1 as c1,
D1.c2 as c2,
D1.c1 as c3
from
SAWITH1 D1))
4. The last select statement does nothing but selecting the needed data which later gets arranged in the format as needed by the OBIPS
select D1.c1 as c1, D1.c2 as c2, D1.c3 as c3 from ( select D1.c1 as c1,
D1.c2 as c2,
D1.c3 as c3
from
SAWITH2 D1
order by c1, c2 ) D1 where rownum <= 65001
Now, on the table being chosen for picking up "ORG_ID_DESC" might be pretty much depending on the best source available as you know. If you would like BI Server to pick up any particular source, probably you could try the "LTS Priority Group" way.
Hope I was clear and it helps.
Thank you,

Problem in uninstalling obiee 11g

Hi,
I am trying to uninstall obiee 11g on a windows server.
When i click on the deinstall button, the command prompt pops up and disappears.
The uninstall screen never comes up !
Any clues ?
Thanks,
Vineeth

Hi,
It's problem with your Java (i think u deinstalled java before deinstalling obiee11g) can you check it your java and if its not available try to install same java version, same path then try to deinstall obiee part.
Note:if you have permission to registry (delete all obiee,weblogic,java relevant and then reboot your pc after reboot try to remove obiee11g installed physical physical folder, delete obiee DSN (ODBC), delete services from ms_services, remove start menu folder after clean above all then delete TEMP/TMP folder etc..

OBIEE 11g Prompt's default value doesn't work with a presentation variable

Hi, I'm using OBIEE 11g and I have two dashboard prompts (Product Name and Product Number). Theses prompts are hierarquical, so the values that are displayed in the Product Number prompt have dependency with the values chosen on the Product Name prompt. This I was able to do, but now I want to put a default value on the Product Number prompt. The steps are:
1 - The user chooses the value for the Product Name Prompt and by doing that the Product Number prompt is automatically filled with the correspondent value.
But unfortunatelly this is not working, after choosing the value for the Product Name the default value for Product Number is not displayed (when you open the prompt the values displayed are correct and already filtered considering the Product Name but the prompt is not automatically filled with the default value).
What I did is:
On the Product Name Prompt I've created a Presentation Variable called PROD.
On the Product Number Prompt I've selected:
1 - For the "Choice List Values" field I've checked the option "Limit Values by All Prompts"
2 - For the "Default Selection" field I've chosen the SQL Results option and enter the following SQL:
SELECT "Products"."Product Number" FROM "Sample Sales Lite"."Products" WHERE "Products"."Product"='@{variables.PROD}
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you,
Carla

Sorry I was wrong in my previous thread.
Actually your approach is not correct, Product Number choose constraint that will show as per the selection of Product Name.
Coming to default value for Product Number you are going for sql override that is okay but not work with variable, instead of setting default values for product number set that to product name.
if not you need to go for 2 different prompts
Prompt 1 Product Name hit GO
Prompt 2 will work based on as you defined earlier with variables
Hope this helps

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.
Regards
Shyam

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.

Shyam

I have a problem using the Obiee 11g 11.1.1.6.0

I have installed the Oracle BI EE suite 11.1.1.6.0. in Win Xp (32bit). And I couldn't view the 'analytic' from the browser an error " Error 404: not found" and sometimes "500 : Internal server error". And I tried to restart the BI services, checked through the console and em as well. I want to whether (11.1.1.6.0) is compatible to run in the xp are is there any prerequisites to be taken care of (or) do I have to rectify any of the installation errors if any. Thank you, Kindly leave your suggestions/comments.

Hi Dhar,

Then I checked the opmnctl cmd to the path of instances/bin/opmnctl.bat.
The status showed all the BI components are alive.
I am having these prbem and cudn't login into the interface and work on the Obiee 11g.
Anyways Can you suggest me what to do right now ? I feel like trying 11.1.1.5.0 but not sure whether the problem is the version or not.
Thank you,

Edited by: 938825 on Jun 12, 2012 7:52 PMHi,
As specified in my last reply too, here are the answers for your issues
1) Actually when I try to access the Analytics, Console, Enterprise Manager ( an error occurred saying browser could not connect to the port ).
Yes, if you try to access analytics on port 9704, it will error out. This is because from 11.1.1.5 onwards, simple install of OBIEE has only one weblogic server on 7001. So you must try the url http://IP:7001/analytics. If you have been trying this already, just check if there are any connectivity issues to the server or firewall etc
2)And when I start the BI services, there only one cmd prompt pop up other than Start BI window.
Yes, since there is only one weblogic server there will be only one command prompt.
You could try accessing all the analytics on 7001 port and see. I think your .6 is perfectly working fine and you do not need to get back to .5
Hope this clears.
Thank you,
Dhar

Issues with less than and grater than condition in prompts in OBIEE 11g,

Hi all,
i am facing the prombles with less than grater than conditions in OBIEE 11g.
i created two date prompts with presentation variables datefrom and dateto
and i used these prompts in fileters like this using grater than and less than symbol.
filters are as below:
lastupdated date is grater than or equal to @{datefrom}{1/1/1950}
lastupdated date is less than or equal to @{dateto){1/1/1950}
and created two prompts
creation datefrom >=
creation dateto<=
when i passing the dates 05/12/2004 and 05/12/2005 in prompts after clicking the apply button in OBIEE 11g it feches all the records but i need records between these dates. and one more thing is after clicking apply button the two date fields getting the same date..
am i do any thing wrong in the above ???
please let me know friends..
waiting for ur replyyyyyy..
Thanks
Edited by: BI_user on Oct 12, 2011 2:10 AM

Hi,
Create date prompts with operator as = not >= (or) <= as you need to save that value in presentation variable and you are filtering report using those variable filters.

Passing Chinese characters in OBIEE 11g GO URL to init the dashboard prompt

Hi Experts,
Currently we are using OBIEE 11g and passing the dashboard prompt parameter values through the OBIEE go url. When we are passing English strings the dashboard prompt is initialized with the correct passing value. However for Chinese character it is not. I am using the URLEncoder.encode("parameter value", "UTF-8") encoding to encode the passing string.
Can anyone tell me what is the wrong in this approach? How can we pass any language strings to OBIEE 11g via go url?
Thanks

To avoid encoding problems use POST method. Here is js example for OBIEE 10g, but I bellieve you will find similar XML syntax in 11g.
function getGoXML(P){
     var goXML = '<sawx:expr xmlns:sawx="com.siebel.analytics.web/expression/v1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="sawx:logical" op="and">';
     for (var i=0; i<P.length-1; i=i+2){
          goXML = goXML + '<sawx:expr xsi:type="sawx:comparison" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" op="equal">';
          goXML = goXML + '<sawx:expr xsi:type="sawx:sqlExpression">' + P[i] + '</sawx:expr>';
          goXML = goXML + '<sawx:expr xsi:type="sawx:untypedLiteral">' + P[i+1] + '</sawx:expr>';
          goXML = goXML + '</sawx:expr>';
     goXML = goXML + '</sawx:expr>';
     return goXML;
function dashboardPageNav (navParams){
     var tForm = saw.createForm("customNavForm");
     tForm.action = saw.commandToURL("Dashboard");
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "PortalPath", navParams.portalPath);
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "Page", navParams.portalPage);
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "Action", "Navigate");
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "StateAction", "NewPage");
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "P1", "dashboard");
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "P0", getGoXML(navParams.P));
     tForm.submit();
dashboardPageNav({
     portalPath: '<portal path>',
     portalPage: '<page name>',
     P: new Array(
          '<param1 name>', '<param1 value>',
          '<param2 name>', '<param2 value>',
          '<param3 name>', '<param3 value>',
          '<param4 name>', '<param4 value>'
});
