Column Filter Prompt with SQL Results failing

I am trying to restrict a prompt's values so that that the column which contains dates are only valid dates in our production load history. Usually these are dates prior to the current date. I have tried several queries in SQL results, but I keep getting an error. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?
Select "IBS_LOAD_DASHBOARD"."DATE_OF_DATA" from "IBS Stats". "IBS_LOAD_DASHBOARD" where "IBS_LOAD_DASHBOARD"."DATE_OF_DATA" <= "LAST_IBS_LOAD"."Last Data Load" ( LAST_IBS_LOAD"."Last Data Load" is the last valid load date)
or
Select "IBS_LOAD_DASHBOARD"."DATE_OF_DATA" from "IBS Stats". "IBS_LOAD_DASHBOARD" where "IBS_LOAD_DASHBOARD"."DATE_OF_DATA" < CURRENT DATE
On a separate note, when I get the prompt working, only the prompt shows in the initial results. Is there a way to get both the prompt and the full results on the dashboard?

I created another request which comes from a view with our last prod load date. I then linked to this date in the filter

OBIEE Column filter prompt issue :: Display Value, Pass Value

Hi All,
Is it possible to display a value in the prompt and pass another value to the report in OBIEE?
Eg. Display Employee Name but internally pass Employee Key values.
Right now in column filter prompt, I have given an SQL query in SQL results field to fetch Employee Names and Employee Keys.
When I select an Employee Name then Employee Key gets displayed in the prompt (selected values on the left) field.
Filter on column property is set to Employee Key.
My requirement is when an Employee Name is selected, then the same Employee Name should be displayed in the prompt field. Internally Employee Key should be passed.
Is this possible? Please help.
Regards,
Sam

Hi,
It can be done with the help of an intermediate report and filter based on other request but you need to check the performance. You need to create a report.pull on employee key in that report and put employee name as 'Is Prompted' . Then in your parent report use 'Filter based on other request' and select 'Employee Key' from the intermediate report created.
In this way used only have to select employee name in prompt and employee key willl be passed to parent report. Check the performance before you use this approach as 'filter based on other request' can cause performance issues.

How to Populate the JTable Object programatically with SQL Results

Use code tags.
Don't mix GUI and JDBC together. Split them out into separate classes.
You have a good start, but you will need to loop through your resultset and also pull the ResultSet metaData for you column headings

Prompt using SQL Results with row-wise session variable comparison

I have a prompt on Department and I only want the departments to show that have been authorized via a session variable for that user. The session variable can return can return multiple values and is set as row-wise. The session variable is returning results and have been used successfully in an application filter.
I'm trying to put the correct SQL statement and this syntax doesn't work:
SELECT "Department"."Department Code"
FROM "UBC Financials - YTD Table"
WHERE "Department"."Department Code" = '@{DEPT_LIMITS}'
Can someone give me an example that does work?
Thanks,

Try something like WHERE "Department"."Department Code" = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."DEPT_LIMITS")
or else filter on department and then hit on add then Session variable

Using prompts with SQL query

Post Author: wleonetti
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hello!
I have acquired a report from our regional headquarters, and have been asked locally to add a prompt to one that already exists in the report.
The report currently uses an SQL query, which in turn uses a single prompt to limit the data reported. However, the name of the parameter in the Field Explorer in Parameter Fields is "Facility", but, when I use the Database Expert and select edit for the query (under Selected Tables, right-click on "Command" under the database and click on "Edit Command"--is Command a default name?), under the Parameter List, the name of the parameter there is "Facility1" (?). The SQL references the parameter "Facility1" (...like '{?Facility1}'), but I cannot find any link/interface between the Parameter List "Facility1" to the Parameter Field "Facility", and I cannot find any other references to "Facility1" anywhere else in the report (sorry, I'm very new at CR, and am not sure how to do a global search of a desired text string in the reports).
I have asked the author for an explanation, but he would only offer, after indicating that he ... was not obligated to help me in any way .., the following bone: "I just simply rename the parameter in Command from Facility1 to Facility which bears the same name as the parameter interface and it just works fine." This only served to confuse me more, since the parameter name currently in Command is "Facility1" (and the report works the way it is)--when I change the name of the parameter in Parameter List (and the parameter name in the SQL query) to "Facility" (to match the Parameter Field's "Facility"?) ... the parameter in the Parameter Fields ... disappears?
Can someone please instruct me how to, in whatever steps are necessary, add a parameter to the Parameter Fields and edit the SQL code to use that parameter? or point me to some documentation that will help me with this?
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Hi Eric,
Try expressing the source as this:
begin
return functionname(to_date('30-sep-2010', 'dd-mon-yyyy'));
end;That works fine for me, and if I take out the begin-end and the trailing semicolon from the return statement I get the same behavior as you.
It does mention in the help for the source (only during the wizard though) that this source type has to be expressed that way, but I agree it would be helpful if the tool would validate for this format when 'Function Returning SQL Query' is used or give some sort of indication of the trouble. Anyway, this should get you going again.
Hope this helps,
John

Filter report based sql result by default and then after by choice in promp

Hi Every one,
I got scenario where a report in my dashboard should show the values for previous month by default when a user opens it.
After that he can select the month of his choice through prompts.
But initiallly how can i set the report show the values of previous month.
I am using the sql SELECT to_char(add_months(to_date(sysdate),-1),'MON-RR') FROM DUAL;
But idont know how to use this and where to set it.
And one main thing is we should not use any repository variables. we can use presentation variables.
Anyone help me how to solve this issue.

One way
change
and ACTIVITY_DATE between :P95_START_DATE and :P95_END_DATEto
AND ACTIVITY_DATE between NVL(:P95_START_DATE,ACTIVITY_DATE) and NVL(:P95_END_DATE,ACTIVITY_DATE)

Filter steps with empty results from report

Hi,
At the moment, my result filtering expression is Result.Status != "Done" && Result.Status != "Skipped", so it removes all steps which are only "Done" or "Skipped". With my current filtering expression, any step with the "Done" status will not be displayed in the report even if there are "Additional Results". I would like to improve this by filtering only if there is not result.
This means that I would like to log in the report any step which returns a value including values added in "Additional Results".
Is there any way to achieve this ? I've been looking in the RunState but I was not able to find there the additional results are stored.
Thanks !
Alex

You can also check if AdditionalResults is empty or not:
GetNumElements(Result.AdditionalResults) > 0

Using Sql Result and Limit Value in Prompt OBIEE 11.1.1.5

Dear Gurus,
I have prompt hierarchy like this:
Year
Quarter
Month
Which are using limit value (Quarter depend on Year, Month depend on Quarter), but I have issue because appear null also in those prompt
I have checked my database, view, repository there are not null.
My questions is, how to remove null in prompt when sql result can't use together with limit value, I don't know how to remove it using column filter.
NB:I already using presentation variable in sql result in order to remove null and using constraint, but it show nothing in prompt view unless we press apply button.
So I don't use this
Please help, kindly appreciated
JOE
Edited by: JoeSSI on Mar 27, 2012 2:03 AM

Hi,
Can you edit your prompt here you can find show option then select SQL Result please modify statement like below.
SELECT your column name FROM subject area where your column name is not null
Go--> Edit your prompt--> Show--> Select Sql result---> change statement like above.
Second way.
Go to physical layer then double click your column name here you can find *"nullable"* option please check that.
Go--> Physical Layer--> Extract table --> select your column name-->double click your column name--> here you can find option like Nullable please check it.
Award points it is useful.
Thanks,

OBIEE-Presentation Variable in SQL expression in a Column Filter

Hi,
I have the following:
(1) A dashboard prompt having Month names like eg. October,July etc
(2) I have declared a Presentation Variable by name @{Month}
(3) A report is there where i have a column called 'Scenario' which has values like 'Actual','Budget','LE_Jul','LE_Oct' etc
(4) In 'Scenario' column , i have given in the column filter-->SQL Expression as below:
('LE_'||SUBSTRING(CAST('@{month}{July}'AS CHAR(40))FROM 3))
My end result should be like whatever month name(ex. July) is selected in the Dashboard Prompt, my scenario should be equal to 'LE_Jul'.
I am getting Error like :
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.

Pls give ur inputs if anyone has faced such an issue.
Thanks.

Hi,
I checked that box in Connection Pool Settings.
But now , though i have data for Scenario "LE_Jul", i still get No Results.
Kindly let me know what else i am missing out in this regard.
Thanks.

None of the fact sources for [column] are compatible with the detail filter

Hi Experts,
I am using obiee 11.1.1.7.
Getting below error when i add a filter of non conformed dimension column.
Below is the error
Error Details
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P

Please help in solving an issue.

Hi NN
You need to follow steps in below link to model your BMM layer for the report to work with non confirmed dimensions.
http://obibb.wordpress.com/2010/05/31/multiple-fact-reporting-on-non-conforming-dimensions/
Once you have followed these steps you can use the non confirmed dimension in the reports.When you see the logs to see the query generated by obiee,it generated 2 queries 1 with confirmed dimension and other with non conformed dimension.When you filter using non confirmed dimension you will now not notice any error but the results will not be filtering out because the filter will be applied only in 1 query which is valid
Now for this to work what you can do is ,instead of using the filter drag the column you like to filter as a prompt in your view.default it to the value you need using the case statement and hide it.This is one of the work around.
There may be many other work arounds for this but you need to understand that for you requirment to work you need to tweek OBIEE to generate 1 query instead of 2 queries.

Calling an rss script with rs.exe fails to result in a report pdf from VB6 w/ ShellEx.
If I call rs.exe with the various parameters from the command prompt I have success(other than rs.exe using the temp folder, which is a different issue). But when I try to execute the same process from a Visual Basic 6.0 application utilizing
the ShellEx api call, the report creation and output to PDF format do not occur. There is no error raised.
Yes, I wish I could use a newer dev tool but that isn't an option right now. I think this should work. Can ya'll tell me what I'm doing wrong?
sArgs = "-i " & Chr(34) & "'C:\Program Files\Dura Supreme\OrderEntry\RunOrdReports.rss'" & Chr(34) & _
" -s 'http://walnut/reportserver' -v 'DuraOrderNum=" & _

ShellEx Chr(34) & "C:\Program Files\Dura Supreme\OrderEntry\rs.exe" & Chr(34), EShellShowConstants.essSW_SHOWNORMAL, sArgs

Hello Jim,
The path for rs.exe includes spaces, you should set it in hyphen, as you already did for file "RunOrdReports.rss" in variable "sArgs2

Using a Sql Result in Default Value of Dashboard Prompt

Hi,
I Create a Dashboard Prompt, this have two dates, the initial and the last for a period to filter. I need to set the default value in the fist and last date of the previous month, for example, if today is 20th of november the default value of initial date has been 1th of October and the last date has been 31th of october.
I used in default the option 'SQL Results' and use the next sentences:
SELECT TRUNC(add_months(sysdate, -1), 'MM') FROM dual;
SELECT TRUNC(last_day(add_months(sysdate, -1))) from dual;
But when I try to use the dashboard prompt the result is:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27002] Near <(>: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012] . (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT TRUNC(add_months(sysdate,-1),'MM') FROM dual
When I try to use only select sysdate from dual; the result is:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27004] Unresolved table: "dual". (HY000)
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help. Finally I solve this issue of
this form:
1. I Create a Initialization Block with the next
sentences:
SELECT TRUNC(add_months(sysdate, -1), 'MM')
INITIAL_DATE ,TRUNC(last_day(add_months(sysdate,
-1))) END_DATE, To_char(TRUNC(add_months(sysdate,
-1), 'MM'), 'YYYYMM') PERIOD FROM dual;
2. Then I Create three Repository Variables and
assign the Initialization Block to this
3. In the Dashboard Prompt I use the "Server
Variable" Option in the default and call the three
variables.
Thanks again

Create prompt with date-filter and initialize it with current date

Oracle BI 11 g
Hi!
I need to create dashboard prompt with date-filter and initialize it with current date. How can I do that?
I tried to create repository initialization block and add variable. But I don't know what should I write to DataSource? I tried to use functions Now(), Current_Date, sysdate (for example, SELECT Now() FROM tbl_Calendar) but without results - when I pressed "Test..." button I got errors - something like "Now() is unknown function" or "Incorrect syntax near key word Current_Date".
After that I tied to use Presentation Variable in Prompt, but also without success ((
Please, help me.

I've created Repository Variable "CurrentDate", using SQL-query like this "select convert(varchar(10), getdate(), 104)" and now this variable is being initialized by value "07.04.2011". But I don't understand how to use this varible in DashboardPrompt! What item in list "Default selection" I should choose - "Variable Expression", "Server Variable" or something else? When I chose "Variable Expression" and write "CurrentDate" I got just string "CurrentDate" when preview Prompt. @{CurrentDate} gave me the same result.

Apex report result doesn't agree with the result of sql developer

Hello guys,
at the moment I try to create a standard report which takes his content from several spreadsheets. Because of some problems with the searchbar I'm not able to use an interactive report. The sql query contains a function, which sets some space characters into the content of a column. But there is a big problem. When I call my sql query in apex from the spreadsheets the result doesn't agree with the result which affords the sql developer.
I know that the sql developer affords the right result.
best regards

thats the query:
select "TWORKITEM"."WORKITEMKEY",
"TWORKITEM"."PROJCATKEY",
"TPROJECT"."LABEL",
"TWORKITEM"."PACKAGESYNOPSYS",
replace(replace("TWORKITEM"."PACKAGEDESCRIPTION", chr(10), '<br>'),'<td></td>','<td></td>') packagedesc,
suche_ohne_ti_be("TWORKITEM"."WORKITEMKEY") "CHANGEDESCRIPTION"
from "TWORKITEM" "TWORKITEM", "TPROJECT" "TPROJECT", "TPROJCAT" "TPROJCAT"
where "TWORKITEM"."PROJCATKEY" = "TPROJCAT"."PKEY"
and "TPROJCAT"."PROJKEY" = "TPROJECT"."PKEY"
and (instr(upper("TWORKITEM"."WORKITEMKEY"), upper(nvl(:P10_SEARCHTEXT, "TWORKITEM"."WORKITEMKEY"))) > 0
or instr(upper("TPROJECT"."LABEL"), upper(nvl(:P10_SEARCHTEXT, "TPROJECT"."LABEL"))) > 0
or instr(upper("TWORKITEM"."PACKAGESYNOPSYS"), upper(nvl(:P10_SEARCHTEXT, "TWORKITEM"."PACKAGESYNOPSYS"))) > 0
or instr(upper("TWORKITEM"."PACKAGEDESCRIPTION"), upper(nvl(:P10_SEARCHTEXT, "TWORKITEM"."PACKAGEDESCRIPTION"))) > 0
or instr(upper(suche_ohne_ti_be("TWORKITEM"."WORKITEMKEY")), upper(nvl(:P10_SEARCHTEXT, "TWORKITEM"."WORKITEMKEY")))>0
I mean with spreadsheets some tables/charts. And I take those informations from 3 of them.
