Dashboard Prompt Bins NOT WORKING

Hi All,
So, I got a set of Dashboard Prompts which include Year, Security Type Description, etc. etc. Apparently, only the Year dashboard
prompt works. The Security Type Description does NOT work because I've added BINS to group several data items into categories.
For one, the bins don't even show up in the drop-down menu even though when I go back to the Edit Column Formula Bin tab for that
dashboard prompt I can plainly see that it is there.
How come?
Let me give you a bit of a backstory to this. Before this iteration, I was able to have the bins show up but that was only because I had to
BIN both the dashboard prompts as well as BIN the underlying Request. However, the downside is that NONE of the dashboard works even
though the BINS showed up correctly. In fact, even the Year Dashboard prompt did nothing. Someone told me to take out the
bins from both the underlying Request and the dashboard prompts then ADD it at the end and it should work. Well, apparently, it
still does not work except for the Year(which didn't have bins to start with). So, there seems to be a DISCONNECT
between dashboard prompts and the underlying request...
Odd..
Thnx!

Thank you for you help Christian.
Here are my answers per your questions:
+"- are your source and target request based on on the same subject area?"+
My answer: yes. In the repository I match two fact tables to same dimension table. I did the prompt filter on one column from this dimension table, and in each table (which are in a different pages, in a same dashboard) I choose this column to be prompted.
+"- are either of the two union requests?"+
My answer: I didn't understand this question.
+"- can you verify whether is is this issue: https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=565505.1 ?"+
My answer: as much that I can understand, It is not the exact problem that I have. I am not managed to try navigate (from table report that have more then 11 column) but doing just prompt object. and navigate from a link that I created in this dashboard page.
+"- is the column you want prompted part of the criteria block of the target request? (if not, make it so)"+
My answer: What do you mean by saying "criteria block"?
+"- it the column visible? (if not, make it so)"+
My Answer: This column is not visible. follow you question - I managed to turn it as visible - but it is still not work..
+"- any chance you set the column filter as "protected"?"+
My answer: nop.
Do you have any idea what is the problem and what am I doing wrong?
Thank you again,
Gila

  • Dashboard problem-Filtes not working as per dashboard prompt

    I have created one dashboard with prompt but the prompts are not working as selected values as per prompt are not getting filtered out
    e.g. one of the prompt is "sales stage" if eventhough i select a particular sales stage it shows all results with no data filtering.
    Please help
    Edited by: user1074008 on Nov 1, 2010 2:25 AM

    Hi,
    In the detailed report you have to prompt the fields which you have added in the dashboard prompt(i.e. Click on edit filter option set the operator to "Is Propmted"), then only it will work.

  • Click on obiee dashboard tabs is not working

    Hi,
    One remote user using cisco vpn to access OBIEE dashboards. everything is all right but when he click on dashboard tabs is not working. I tried with firefox 3.6.0 and IE 8 both have same problem. we dont have this problem within the network. I dont think it's a firewall issue because everything else is working fine. we dont have any custom java script in obiee dashboards. Is it a browser problem? does any one else got this problem before?
    Thanks
    Jay.

    Hi Jay
    Yes Its browser issue. Please make sure the patch updates of IE are updated and i do have the same problem with IE 6 when user remotes (or) use citrix
    One more important point is we have made the dashboards available directly instead of residing in group folder. If you have Dashboards under group folder, give access to that Dashboard directly instead of Group folder
    Eg: Groupfolder A contains A1,A2,A3....A10 dashboards. Give acceess to A1,A2 instead of groupfolder A
    Please mark it Helpful or correct if this solved

  • Cascading prompts are not working after UNX conversion.

    Hi,
    We have converted universe to UNX format, but after conversion the cascading prompts are not working. Following is the one of the example of the cascading prompt which is having issue:
    We have cascading object named u201CGroup - Deviceu201D as below:
    CONCAT(CONCAT(@select(Performance Management\Group\Group Name),' - '),@select(Performance Management\Device\Device Name))
    In the SQL Assistance windows, validate button properly validates this object.
    Based on the above object, we have filter named u201CEnter/Select Group u2013 Deviceu201D with following definition:
    @select(Performance Management\Performance Reporting Objects\Performance Custom Dimensions\Group - Device) In  @prompt('Enter/Select Device Names','A','Performance Management\Performance Reporting Objects\Performance Custom Dimensions\Group - Device',Multi,Free,Not_Persistent)
    When I click on the validate button for this filter, it doesnu2019t says whether the expression invalid or valid. It does not return anything. I checked the error log windows of IDT and it shows below error once we validate the above filter:

    This problem is for all the cascading prompts, and only single level prompts are working after conversion to UNX.
    Can anyone please help on this? Am I missing any manual changes which are mandatory after UNX conversion for this to work.
    Thanks,
    Nilesh

    Hi Henry,
    Thanks for your reply. Yes I have raised SAP ticket for this.
    We are at BI 4.0 SP2 Patch 12.
    This problem is for all the cascading prompts which created using objects which are having u201CLOV based on Query Panelu201D, it doesnu2019t return the results, when I edit the LOV > edit the query and then click refresh to see the data, the refresh button does not appear.
    So I tried creating u201CLOV based on a custom hierarchyu201D as indicated in SAP note u2013 1666504 but it also doesnu2019t work. I used the object (that uses the LOV based on a custom hierarchy) to create the new cascading prompt, when I used this prompt in WEBI report, it only displays prompts for first value and not the second based on first input.
    I searched SAP KB and found this note u2013 u201C1620378 - Cascading (nested) prompts are not working for Web Intelligence reports in BI 4u201D which describes bug related to cascading prompts in unv as well as unx. But I am not sure if itu2019s the same which I am getting.
    Thanks,
    Nilesh

  • Prompts are not working when we call another report from the narrative view

    Hi,
    In my dashboard i need a table view report which should have scrolling option only for that section.
    For this i added a html tag <iframe ........scrolling="yes"> in the narrative view and i added that narrative view in the report.
    Now,it works fine in the dashboard.
    But when i apply prompts in the dashboard the values are not filtering even though i added the "is prompted" filter condition in the criteria of both narrative view section and the called function.
    Any help would be greatly appriciated.
    Thanks,
    chinna.

    Hi,
    since you have created an iframe dashboard prompt wont work on that report.Same is the case if you put the report in Embeded content.
    One possible workaround is to creaate a dummy report having columns same as that of dashboard prompt.Put all the columns is prmompted in this report
    (No need to create dummy report if you already have those columns in some other report,You can use that report also)
    Then go to your Iframe report and use "filter based on other request".In this way dashboard prompt will filter dummy report and based on dummy report values your iframe report will also filter.
    Thanks

  • Dashboard prompt value not carried over to report in a Link on Dashboard

    The Dashboard prompt value is not carried over to the report displayed as a link on the dashboard. The report has the 'Is Prompted' filter. It does not work in both cases:
    1. when the report in the shared folder is specified in the link.
    2. when the report in a different page on the same dashboard is specified in the link.
    Please help.

    First change column data format to HTML.
    Then use following syntax:
    '<aa href = "http://server/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=%2Fshared%2FPortal%2Ffolder&Page=pagename&Action=Navigate&P0=3&P1=eq&P2=Tablename1.column1&P3=1+'|| cast(Tablename1.column1 as varchar(30)) ||'&P4=eq&P5=tablename2.column2&P6=1+'|| cast(Tablename2.column2 as varchar(30)) ||'&P7=eq&P8=tablename3.column3&P9=1+'|| cast(Tablename3.column3 as varchar(30)) ||'" TARGET="_blank"> <ffont color = #000099>'|| cast(Tablename1.column1 as varchar(30)) ||'</ffont></aa>'
    change ffont to font and <aa to <a and </aa to </a

  • Is prompted filter not working correctly with calculated items

    Hello,
    I am working on OBIEE 11.1.1.3 and having problem problem linking 2 analisys with action link
    The test case is:
    I have 2 attribute columns on a dimension
    1. Conto 1 Code
    2. Conto 1 Dsc (in RPD i set up the property Descritor ID of -> Conto 1 Code)
    3. Conto 2 Code
    4. Conto 2 Dsc (in RPD i set up the property Descritor ID of -> Conto 2 Code)
    5. Conto Detail
    and 1 measure on the fact table
    1. Revenue (defined on RPD as simple sum)
    On presentation layer i have the analisys:
    1.
    The First one using as Criteria: Conto 1 Dsc | Conto 2 Dsc | Revenue
    The layout is a table with sub-total on Conto 1 Dsc
    On Revenue i created an action link to the second analisys containing
    2.
    Criteria: Conto 1 Dsc | Conto 2 Dsc | Conto Detail | Revenue
    Filters: Conto 1 Code (is prompted) | Conto 2 Code (is prompted)
    This pair of analisys are working fine.
    Then i created a second pair of analisys as:
    1.
    Criteria: Conto 2 Dsc | Revenue
    Using Calculated group \ Items i created a numerous set of sub-totals
    On Revenue i created an action link to the second analisys containing
    2.
    Criteria: Conto 2 Dsc | Conto Detail | Revenue
    Filters: Conto 2 Code (is prompted)
    This pair of analisys are not working correctly. When i drill from first analisys to second one the Conto 2 Code filter is not used.
    Replacing in the second analisys Conto 2 Code (is prompted) with Conto 2 Dsc (is prompted) a filter is being generated on the drill but it's using the Conto 2 Code value and the analisys ends with no results.
    Thanks,
    Jonni

    Try adding Conto 2 code to the first analysis and keep the filter on the second analysis as Conto 2 code is prompted.

  • Variable based on calender dashboard prompt does not show in the report

    hello,
    i have at the dashboard a calender prompt for a column of date format and a pres variable for that value ('DAY'); i placed in the report a column of which content (fx) is @{DAY};
    when i run the report the value of my variable is 0 instead of chosen calender day; the report gets filtered on the day, however only if data.day='@{DAY}; if i choose '<' or '>' it still filters on this one day; why is this happening and how can i work around?

  • SQL in CRM OD prompt is not working as it works in OBIEE

    Hi,
    I was earlier OBIEE developer, recently started working on CRM On Demand Application. I tried writting SQL script in CRM On Demand Report PROMPT same as I used to write in OBIEE. Below is the sql statement
    Subject Area Used: "Service Request History"
    SQL Statement: SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN Account."Account Name" ELSE 'ORACLE' END FROM "Service Request History"
    Output (Error): State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27004] Unresolved table: "Service Request History". (HY000)
    However, same kind of SQL used to work in OBIEE,
    Subject Area: "Service Request History"
    SQL Statement: SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN Account."Account Name" ELSE 'ORACLE' END FROM "Service Request History"

  • Dashboard email square not working

    I have downlaoed and installed the lastest version of BlackBerry Blend and it works great except that the Email square does not show anything just text saying "Set up an email account to access...". I tried removing and adding one of my email accounts but that didn't fix it. The 3 email accounts I use are shown in the hub screen and the hub squre updates when a new e-mail comes in.
    I tried closing and reloading the blend, logging in and out of my blackberry ID after remvoing and adding one of the  email accounts but that didn't fix it.
    Currently using USB connection
    Client 1.1.0.17
    Blend 1.1.0.65
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Sheldon

    I'm experiencing the exact same issue (non-working email box), with the same (i.e. latest) version of Blend.
    On my Passport I'm using 3 email accounts also. The emails do indeed show up in Blend's Hub, but never in the Email box on the dashboard. It feels like a silly bug in Blend...
    I hope Blackberry comes up with a fix (or someone finds a workaround).
    Ashwin.
    P.S. Contrary to Sheldon, I always use WiFi connections.

  • Mac wont shut down,log off,restart, dashboard and spotlight not working fro

    Hi I keep getting this problem..
    I cannot log off, restart, or shutdown randomly. I am using Leopard v10.5.7, with all other updates. Also I cannot get dashboard or spotlight to start off the keyboad shorcuts.
    I have to hold the power butt=on for more than 10secs to shut it down, which I do not like doing.
    I have repaired permission, stopping apps staring automatically on log in. removed all cables to reset SMC etc etc.
    It doesnt happen all the time, but sometimes it does. Reason I have to close my Mac down is my wife and kids use Boot Camp with Win XP on.
    This is now starting to annoy me, can someone please help, I've had my Mac 18months now, 1st one ever, so am still learning, especially when things go wrong or dont work, as I didn't expect this on a Mac!!

    HI,
    Try booting from your install disk and checking the hard drive for errors.
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    *(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 15% free disk space. Not enough disk space can cause directory corruption.
    If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
