Dashboard prompt calendar date not filtering results

I have a report with a date value. I custom formatted the date to MM/dd/yy and the report shows it correctly. I created a dashboard prompt with a calendar control and "is between" operator. However, the date never gets filtered. All values are shown. Do I have to change anything in the prompt because I custom formatted the date?
Ahh.. forgot to add "is prompted" to column filter

Hi Subbu,
Thanks, but my question is a bit different.
I want to have 2 'Dashboard' Prompts:
1) Country - The default value for which should be set to the logged in User's Country. Later the user can choose to select a different country.
2) Calendar Year/Month - For this I want to limit the restrict the values that are displayed, i.e. they should start from 2010 / 01 and end at Current Month. So I need the variable that would work with this field.
I am unable to get solution for both of the above.
Regards,
Ady

Dashboard Prompt that does not link to any column

Hi,
This might be a basic question but I am missing something here.
How can we create a dashboard Prompt that is not linked to any columns? This prompt has to be a drop down with two values to choose from.
1. Accounting
2. Operational
The value chosen in this prompt will be used for calculations in my reports. The calculation for Accounting and Operational is different.
I do NOT have these two values in any of the columns.
Please suggest on how can I do this.
This is OBIEE 10.1.3
Your help is very appreciated

SELECT 'Accounting' FROM "Subject area"
where Time."Date"=current_date
union all
SELECT 'Operational' FROM "Subject area"
where Time."Date"=current_date
Pls mark as correct/helpful

Dashboard Prompt using values not from the table

Hi,
I have a requirement from the client to design a dashboard report like the following.
Dashboard prompt will have 4 filters, three filters come from the table, but the fourth filter will have 3 values not from the table. The fourth filter will have values like "Report with Sales Amount", "Report with Purchase Amount", "Report with both Purchase and Sales". I have three different Table reports designed for each of the fourth filter choices. But how do I implement it, both in the dashboard prompt as well as navigating to the rite report based on the selection.
Is my approach correct.
Thanks for your time and help.

The fourth prompt where you have "Report with Sales Amount", "Report with Purchase Amount", "Report with both Purchase and Sales" you pull a dummy column into the prompt and write a sql in show.
would be something like
SELECT Case when 1=0 then "Dimension- Customer"."Cust Name" else 'Report with Sales Amount' end FROM Sales UNION SELECT Case when 1=0 then "Dimension- Customer"."Cust Name" else 'Report with Purchase Amount' end FROM Sales
and in the prompt set a presentation variable say var_criteria
Now create report2 for with a some randomn column and another column will have the values that you want to display for example 'Report with Sales Amount'
Create a filter on the 2nd column and reference the presentation variable var_criteria and default it to 'Report with Sales Amount'
On the dashboard page in the section place the report and enable guided navigatoin by selecting report 2.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
thanks,

Iphone 4 Calendar date not showing the write date

I just upgraded to the ios 5.1.1 from 4.2.1. I have a Iphone 4. After the upgrade, my iphone's Calendar date is not showing the right date. in order for the right date to show, I either have to re-start my iphone or I have to go into settings/general/date&time and turn off the set automatically off than on in order for it to show the right date. I didn't have this problem before the upgrade. I hope someone can help?

I had a similar problem and then found that my calendar was not set for the right date and year. Check that first.

Sync Unsuccessful Calendar data not migrated: Error of "Failed to commit changes to device."

Unable to sync calendar data between Z10 and Outlook 2013. Deselected contacts and only trying calendar. I moved the amount of dates 6months to 30 days.
Using all current Office and Bb software. Error of "Failed to commit changes to device."

This has been a recurring error with BB Link for quite awhile now. Why doesn't BB do something about it. I get the "Failed to commit changes to device" with my Contacts and haven't found a solution. There are other discussions on this fourm concerning this problem, and they haven't solved the problem for everybody yet.
Some have solved the problem by deleting all of their bblink's, but that is all I use to sync my BB with Windows 7.
Please BB, do something.

Get(Calendar.DATE) not work

Thanks, I have a problem with Calendar, I need that dia = get(Calendar.DATE), if dia > 31 at March, for example, Calendar.MONTH = APRIL, but NO!, dia = 32, 33, 34, 35....
for (int i = 0; i < 366; i++) {
    cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, ano);
    cal.set(Calendar.MONTH, mes);
    cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, dia);
    dia = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
    mes = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    ano = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    ehData[0] = ""+ano+ "-" + ( mes + 1 ) + "-" + dia;
ehData[i][1] = ""+ha;
ehData[i][2] = ""+ea;
ehData[i][3] = ""+hm;
ehData[i][4] = ""+em;
ehData[i][5] = ""+hd;
ehData[i][6] = ""+ed;
ed++;
if ( ed == 13 ) {
ed = 1;
hd++;
if ( hd == 11 ) {
hd = 1;
if ( ( (i+1) % 365 )== 0 ) {
ha++;
ea++;
if ( ea == 13 ) {
ea = 1;
if ( ha == 11 ) {
ha = 1;
if ( cal.get(Calendar.MONTH) != mesini ) {
mesini++;
if ( mesini == 12 ) {
mesini = 0;
hm++;
em++;
if ( em == 13 ) {
em = 1;
if ( hm == 11 ) {
hm = 1;
if ( cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) == 1 ) {
dia = 1;
if ( cal.get(Calendar.YEAR) > ano ) {
ano++;
mes = 0;
dia++;
cal.set( Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, dia );
f = "La última fecha es " + dia + "/"+ mes+ "/"+ano;

Need more information. The drop down calendars are a custom JavaScript that has been developed by a number of different people and use many different methods so without which one and how you implemented it ion the form it hard to determine what is going on.

Dashboard prompt value is not passing into the report

Hi,
I am using OBIEE 10g. The problem is in Oracle BI Answers
I have a prompt and its related report. In the prompt, in one of the column, I am using sql result. The sql query is a co-related sub query where i have used 2 tables. employee_data and employee_region. The reason for using sub-query is that there is no data_center column in the employee_data table. It has the records for all the data_center e.g USA, UK,IND,AUSTRALIA etc So, I used the sub query with condition which will give the result on a particular data center (here it is USA) and this sub query's output is input for the main query. And the prompts works fine and gives correct result
The sql query used for the column in the prompt (in Oracle BI Answers) as
SELECT EMPLOYEE_DATA.ENAME FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE EMPLOYEE_DATA.ENAME IN (SELECT EMPLOYEE_REGION.ENAME FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE EMPLOYEE_REGION.DATA_CENTER = 'USA')Now in the report, there are 2 coulmns. - EMPLOYEE_DATA.ENAME and EMPLOYEE_REGION.DATA_CENTER
I have used the main column EMPLOYEE_DATA.ENAME for filter as 'prompted'.
The problem is the value from the prompt is not passing from the prompt to the report, what I found. Because, instead of showing the result for 'USA' data_center, It also shows other data_center 's (UK,IND,AUSTRALIA) data.
How filter condition I should use for EMPLOYEE_DATA.ENAME column in the report so that the prompt value will pass to the report properly ?
Thanks

Hi Kuldip,
There are 2 ways of doing it.
1. Nice and good: For the section where the report is put have a condition to display only if it returns rows. For details please refer to :
http://bischool.wordpress.com/category/guided-navigation/
2. The easy way: Add a "No Result" view to your report and add few spaces in the text.
Let me know if this helped.

Prompt value is not filtering

Hi,
I am working on OBIEE10g.
I have created 2 tables in presentation layer tab1,tab2 having some of the field names same.
I have created 2 reports for each table rep1 , rep2
I put filter as Is prompted in Rep2. I have kept column value navigation in rep1 to navigate to rep2.
But the values are not getting prompted or filtered out in rep2 when I click on rep1 values.
Could someone please help me on this.
Thanks,
Sivarama

Hi,
For values to get prompted in the second report you should have a common dimension column on which you are applying the navigation option then only the values will get filtered out.
For e.g. If I have Base_report(created on top of Fact1) and Target_Report (created ontop of Fact2) and I have one common dimension Dim (Say Time dimension).
Now, if in my first report I pull some column (say Year) and some metric column from FACT1. I have to put navigation on Year column and in my Target report this same column is used as is prompted.
In this scenario my target report will get filtered out on the year value select in the first report.
If you don't have any dimension column in common on which you want to apply for navigation use Go URL as alternate solution.
You can refer below link for the same.

Mark helpful/correct as applicable.
NOTE: Please try to put some details with some e.g. so that it become easy to understand the exact problem.

ISE dashboard - CPU, memory - data not available for PSN

Hi All,
Has anyone seen the ISE dashboard not showing stats for CPU memory for PSN's ? Admin node cpu and memory displays ok.
How is this data shared between the nodes ?
I did have some firewall issues between admin and PSN but this is now solved. I did note the same issue even when nodes were on same L2 network.

Confirmed this issue was caused by syslog dropped by firewall. Symptoms included dashboard wasn't updating for that node, and also no auth logs getting back to monitoring node.
ASA was permitting UDP 514 (syslog) but not UDP 20514.
I'm a bit confused on UDP 30514. In the guide it also says 30514 is syslog in one spot, and radius in another.

MI 7.0 T51 when sync data not filtered

Hi Experts,
we have a synbo t51 in mi 7.0 and when we sync with the middelware whe got all the data of the syncbo , not filter by the user of the mobile client who perform the sync?
has somebody this problem?
Thanks in advanced.
Some help..some point....

Hi,
Peform this and set a user based filter criteria on syncBO.
1. Go to transaction merep_sbuilder.
2. Give the syncBO name and click on Environment and click on filtering criteria.
3. And then set a filtering criteria for the header field "user" as "ME-SYNC_USER".
   It should look like this:
   FieldName: Userbased Field in header
   Option: EQ
   Value: ME-SYNC_USER.
4. Enable the syncbo and enable the filter.
5. Then perform the sync and check if you are getting data only for the sync user.
But for setting this filtering criteria, your T51 syncbo's header should have a field called "USER" and this value should be filled from the backend. Only then when you sync this filtering of data based on user will happen.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Siva.

Calendar data not in "Home" library folder

Tried looking for home/library/calendar. In order to back up my lost calenda revents with time machine, I would like to know where those events are stored so I don't have to back up my whole computer. As mentioned in the discussion table there is no calendar in the library folder.

If you synchronize any of your calendars with a server, disable that synchronization. Quit Calendar.
Triple-click the line below to select it: ~/Library/Calendars Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Enter Time Machine and restore that folder from the snapshot you want.
Relaunch Calendar and test. Your calendars should be as they were when the snapshot was taken. If you don't sync with a server, stop here. If you do sync some of the calendars with a server, select each one in turn and then select
File ▹ Export ▹ Export…
from the menu bar. You'll get ICS files with the filename extension ".ics". Re-enable sync. Usually, all the calendars you just restored will be deleted. That's not a problem. Create a new calendar on the server for each one you exported and want to sync:
File ▹ New Calendar
Then import the calendar from the corresponding ICS file by double-clicking it. Follow the prompts to import the new events to the calendar you just created. For calendars that you don't want to sync, just import them again. They'll appear in the calendar list under On My Mac.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Execute query run fine with numeric data not give result on string data

Hi master
Sir I use under blow code for execute query
sir when I use numeric data then run fine but when I use character data then not give any result
with numeric run fine
DECLARE
     DD VARCHAR2(15);
BEGIN
     DD:=10;
set_block_property('emp', default_where, 'where DEPTNO='||DD);
go_block('emp');
execute_query;
set_block_property('emp', default_where, '');
END;
With character not give any result
DECLARE
     DD VARCHAR2(15);
BEGIN
     DD:='SALESMAN';
set_block_property('emp', default_where, 'where RTRIM(EMPNO)='||DD);
go_block('emp');
execute_query;
set_block_property('emp', default_where, '');
END;
Please give me any idea

bro it is not working on string format coz of the missing quotes. e.g. 'smith' or smith. so the quoted string will be compared. in set_block_property u have to include extra quotes on the variable. e.g.
set_block_property('emp',default_where,'where ename='''||:emp.ename||'');
or with conditional statement
set_block_property('emp',default_where,'where ename='''||:emp.ename||''' and dname='''||dept.deptno||'');
there i included two extra qoutes before joining ename and in the an extra quote to complete to string. if u would like to debug at runtime to show if the qouted string condition is proper then assign the where clause to a variable and message it up.
like
myvariable:='where ename='''||:emp.ename||'';
message(myvariable);
message(myvariable);
set_block_property('emp',default_where,myvariable);
after the string is quoted properly the execute query will work fine, also use the function upper or lower to compare strings.

Prevent dashboard prompt from filtering a particular report on page?

I have a dashboard page with 1 prompt and 5 reports. The first object on the dashboard page is a dashboard prompt with a date range for created date.
The request is to filter the first 4 reports based on the dashboard prompt, and then the last report NOT be filtered based on the prompt.
Right now - the date range entered in the dashboard prompt is filtering all 5 reports.
Is there any way to prevent the prompt from filtering a particular report on the dashboard page?
Thanks!

Just wanted to provide an update as to what I learned from the SR I opened.
Dashboard prompts apply to all reports on the page which either:
* Have the "is prompted" filter selected
- OR -
* Are filtered in any other way
In my case, my last report was filtered on the created date to exclude any data prior to July 1, 2010. Because this hardcoded filter was applied, then the report automatically was picking up the date range filter from the dashboard prompt and applying that date range to the report instead.
The workaround was to create a new column on the report formatting the date as YYYYMM and applying a filter to the report as >= 201007. With this, the dashboard prompt is now not applied to filter this report.
