Date format problem - dashboard prompt - presentation variable

Hi,
I've created a dashboard prompt on a date and defined a presentation variable.
In my report I make use of the following object : TimeStampAdd(SQL_TSI_MONTH,-12,date '@{pv_afw_start_date}' )
My report works when making use of a drop down list, but when I want to make use of a calendar to select from, I receive the following error
*A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 46047] Datetime value 17/11/2009 from 17/11/2009 does not match the specified format. (HY000)*
Is there a difference in the date formats used by the prompt type (drop down list, calendar, ..)? And how you can align them..
Txs for your help.

Timestampadd ask for a timestamp not for a date.
Check here :
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12103_01/books/admintool/admintool_SQL14.html
The syntax is :
TimestampAdd(SQL_TSI_DAY, 3, TIMESTAMP '2000-02-27 14:30:00')You may have to change your prompt to retrieve a timestamp.
Where do you use your formula ? In a formula column ?

Clear default dashboard prompt values

We have created a few dashboard prompts that are defaulted to server variables. When a user enters the dashboard page, they want to these values to be populated with a start and end date for a specific reporting period. They also want to be able to select a different reporting period (year, quarter, etc.). We have put a "Clear my Selections" button on the page, but that does not clear the prompts that have a defaulted value. The only workaround is to manually deleted the defaulted values, which makes the clear button almost useless and difficult to train the users.
Any thoughts?

Hi Chris,
If you haven't tried, use the code to place a button to clear your selections.
$div align="right" class="XUIPromptEntry minibuttonOn" $
$a href="#" onclick="return PersonalizationEditor.removeDefaultSelection(false)"$
Clear all criteria
$/a$
$/div$
Replace $ with < or >

Do this:
1) Put the dashboard prompts in its own section.
2) Click on Section>Properties>Format Section.
3) On Horizontal Alignment, select "Left."
The prompts will align to the left.

NULL and Unspecified in Dashboard prompts after upgrading 10g to 11g OBIEE

Hi All,
We are working on OBI upgradation project from 10g to 11.1.1.6.5. We are facing one issue in Dashboard prompt level. If we can create Dashboard prompt on a column, its giving "NULL", "Unspecified" additionally. But, in 10g there are no extra values.
And the 10g, 11g instances are pointing to the same database and there are no NULL, Unspecified values in Database level.
Through some blogs and articles we found some solutions n are below.
To remove NULL:
-->Go to the Physical Column properties in Physical Layer and Disable the Nullable option by uncheck the box.
-->Go to the Database Features in Physical Layer and disable value to NULL_SUPPORTED.
-->Go to Edit Dashboard Prompt, in Choice List Values drop-down list select SQL Results.
To remove Unspecified:
-->Go to Edit Dashboard Prompt, in Choice List Values drop-down list select SQL Results, then write the SQL statements as columnname is not equals to "Unspecfied" ( In this way we can able to remove Null's also.)
-->Go to Content tab of LTS, in Where clause write an SQL query to restrict Unspecified values.
Note: CHeck with ETL, because if they maintains the Default value is Null when the Datatype is Character and they can maintain 9999 or #### if the datatype is Numeric. And check the Physical query and debug it carefully.
But, we have very big Repository and we have huge no.of Dashboard prompts. So, its not an easy thing to manage by using above solutions. Correct me if there are any mistakes in above.
Any ideas on this...?
Appreciate your help on this..!
Thanks in Advance,
Raghu Nagadasari

Hi Frnds,
As of now, i found the only solution for the above mentioned issue that how to avoid NULL in dashboard prompt level:
Go to the Physical Column properties in Physical Layer and Disable the Nullable option by uncheck the box.
We have done this manually for all tables.
Appreciate if u have any other ideas.!!
Thanks,

http://oraclebi.blog.com/example-of-presentation-variable-in-obiee/
I am using the following query :
========================================================
SELECT case when 1=0 then "D2 Market"."M04 Region"
else 1
end
FROM "Sample Sales"
UNION ALL
select case when 1=0 then "D2 Market"."M04 Region"
else 2
end
FROM "Sample Sales"
=========================================================
I just wanted to create 2 dummy choices i.e 1 and 2 .But while soing so I am getting erros in the case statements :
=========================================================

Hi Rachit
You answered my doubt.This one really works . Thanks a lot !
But i have one more doubt i.e if have created the Presentation variable in the dashboard prompt and I want to use it in a report
i.e the scenario is If I have created a new column i.e " Revised Salary " in the Presentation Services and want the values to be entered there dynamically upon end users choice. For ex the end user selecrts value of 1 then the report would display an increament of 500 to all the employees in the " Revised Salary " column and if the end user select value of 2 .. the report would display a decrement of 500 in the " Revised salary column".
I am getting the following error :
========================================================================
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 59001] Binary Logical operation is not permitted on VARBINARY, INTEGER operand(s). (HY000)

Can we use Evaluate Function in Dashboard Prompt

Hi
Can anybody tell me
Can we use Evaluate Function in Dashboard Prompt.
If yes...How
Thanks in Adv

Yes ! You Can!
while creating the dashboard prompt, under "Show" pick SQL results and you write the SQL statement and include the EVALUATE function.
I have several such examples. Most of of dashboard pages are parameter driven.
1. 1st paratmeter - users specify the dates
2. 2nd parameter - constrains the results for the period specified in 1st paramter and my SQL for 2nd paramter looks like this -
SELECT table1.column1
FROM table, datedim1, table1,table2
WHERE datedim1.date BETWEEN EVALUATE( 'TO_DATE(%1,%2)','@{presentation variable1}','dd/mm/yyyy') AND EVALUATE('TO_DATE(%1,%2)', '@{presentation variable 2}','dd/mm/yyyy')

How to use action links or master-detail event in dashboard prompts?

Hi,
I am new to OBIEE 11g. I have created three reports 1.Daily Data Report, 2.Weekly Data Report 3. Monthly Data Report.
I have created one dashboard prompt in which I have specified choices as Daily, Weekly and Hourly.
My requirement is that when I select the choice as 'Daily' I should get Daily Data report below Dashboard prompt.
When I select the choice as 'Weekly' I should get Weekly Data report below Dashboard prompt
and when I select the choice as 'Monthly' I should get Monthly Data report below Dashboard prompt.
How this can be achieved in OBIEE 11g?

Hi,
What you do is just put this 3 different reports in 3 different dashboard sections and in section condition assign a condition based on presentation variable so that when u select weekly in the prompt only the weekly section condition should be true and other 2 section conditions should be false, in that case only the true section condition will display and false conditions will hidden.
Try implement this u will definetly can achieve the result.
Note: Create Variable prompt for this as best practice

Row limit in Dashboard Prompts - OBIEE 11g?

Hi,
In dashboard prompts values are shown as sets of 256 and I know it can be customizable but my question is..."Is there any limit on records to extract as we have it in Analysis"? If yes, what is the max limit and where to configure this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Nagireddy, thanks for your reply.
Is there any limit of values to extract in Dashboard prompt? i.e. when you use drop down list as Dashboard prompt, is there any limit of values to extract from database?
In my local environment (instanceconfig.xml), there is limit of Rows to View and Download set to 20K, however I did not see anything related to the Dashboard Prompt.

How to get the value of multi-select in the Dashboard Prompt

I have a multi-select prompt in the Dashboard Prompt, what I want is, how do I know that user has choose one value,
for examle, for some reasons, if user didn't choose any value, then I will set one column in answer as "customer office" , if user choose one value, then the column in answer will be "customer name".
any comments, thanks.

Hi,
first define the presentation variable for the required column prompt. ex: PV
Then in report level set the filter for that column = @{PV}{customer office}. here u have to give default value as "customer office", so by default the report in dashboard will show customer office even though the user does not select any value from dashboard prompt.
Mark If Helpful/correct.
Thanks.

Need to store variables from multi-select in Dashboard Prompt.

I am using a Dashboard Prompt with a Drop-down List Control. The user selected value from this Drop-down List Control is stored in a Presentation Variable.
I would like to use a Multi-Select Prompt and store all multi-select values in a variable string. I have read that is not possible to use Presentation Variables with a Multi-Select Prompt.
Does anyone have a workaround for this?
Thanks,
Stan

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
Edited by: user9954342 on Dec 23, 2010 2:01 AM

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.
Regards
Shyam

Issue filtering a report (based on narrative view) with a dashboard prompt.

I used HTML and java-script codes in narrative view to solve the issue of "linking different reports on selecting values from a drop-down". A new issue has cropped up due to that implementation. The issue is that i can't attach a dashboard prompt to such a report. This means, when i put this report on a dashboard page with a dashboard prompt to help filter the report, the report does not gets filtered (it does not seems to be connected to the dashboard prompt).
Has anyone faced this issue before? If yes, please let me know how to tackle it at the earliest.
Regards,
Ramil
