Changing Date Format in Dashboard prompt drop down list

Hi friends, my dashboard shows a drop down list for dates , which are in format "7/1/2008 12:00:00 AM".
This is defined datetime datatype in sql server. Is there any way to change the date format in dashboard prompt to just "7/1/2008" without doing it in database side.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks and regards

Hi... Toony
In Dashboard Prompt, you have option to select i.e. show SQL,
there you write the Logical SQL or Advanced SQL: <em>select cast("timestampCOLUMN" as date) from "PresentationLayerName"</em>
this is simple way without changing anything in rpd side...
And if you want the timestamp column somewhere in some reports you can use that column directly.
If you don't want you need to cast it as DATE.
If your question was answered then put it as answered and mark it as correct... ;)

Changing 'All Column Values' in dashboard prompt

In OBIEE 11g, how to modify the dashboard prompt All label value? I do not want to change value in XML file , because it will impact all dashboard prompt value.
Is it there better method to implement this problem?
For example:
In dashboard prompt-->edit -->options--->tick 'Include "All Column Values" choice in the list', so I can view '(All Column Values)' value in prompt. Customers want to changed this value,such as 'all values'. Is it possible? Thanks.

Date Dimension changes format when in dashboard prompt

Hi
I have created a report in OBIEE 10g wherein a dimension is DATE. It displays as MM-DD-YYYY. I also created a dashboard prompt using this dimension.
However, when I select a value from the prompt in the dashboard, it says that:
"A date value was expected (received "2007-01-05 00:00:00")"
I hope you can help me with this problem.

Hi,
In the physical layer, go to the properties of the field(Your Date dimension column) and change it's type from Timestamp into Date. Hope this will solve your issue.
Thanks,

Dynamically change column heading without Dashboard Prompt

Hi All,
My requirement is change the column heading dynamically in a report. I have achieved this through setting the presentation variable to the dashboard prompt.
I have 5 columns in the dashboard prompt. Out of these 5 columns, I want to use only 1 column as dashboard prompt.
But still I want to dynamically change the column heading of the other 4 columns based on the only 1 column selected in the dashboard prompt.
Is there anyway to achieve this?

You need to have some logic to change other 4 columns based on 1 selected column.. where you want put that logic?
BTW: Check these

Unnecessary Report refresh on the dashboard when changing the dashboard prompts

Hello All
I have two reports on a dashboard with two dashboard prompts for example Report 1) Year, State, Count; Filter: Year is prompted 2) Year, State, Count; FIlter: State is prompted. On the dashboard we have two reports Report1) and Report 2) with Year and State dashboard prompts.
The issue is when you change year prompt both the reports gets refreshed even though nothing changes on report 2 but it still dissapears and appears as it is refreshing and the same happens with report 1 when i change the state prompt it refreshes that report.
Please letme know how i can limit the dashboard prompt to refresh only the report where it is prompted.
Thanks
Ravi

are you talking about the database table caching? if so we are using OLAP cubes and I am not sure if caching is disabled. Is my issue related to caching? also another updated if I have just one dashboard prompt for example just year only report 1 refreshes and the report 2 doesn't disappear. But when I add state dashboard prompt, which ever prompt I change state or year both reports refreshes. The problem is when I add more than one prompt on the dashboard all the reports refreshes when the dashboard prompt selection changes. Any ideas.
Thanks

Welcome your suggestions on this?.

Hi Karol,
Yes the prompt is working fine when i put this following method under the "Button" Component.
APPLICATION.openPromptDialog(800, 600);
Somehow the when i use the "Input Field" and use the "Button" Component and write this following logic inside it i don't see the prompt is not taking the values what i am entering in input field i assume that its issue with data-source not getting refreshed.
Variable=INPUTFIELD_1.getValue();
APPLICATION.setVariableValue("PercentageIncrease",Variable);
Thanks,
Kumar

Change Image based on dashboard prompt

Hello
Im using OBIEE 11G 11.1.1.5
I need to show on a dashboard, the logo (Image) of the company selected on a dashboard prompt. I have 5 companies and each has its own logo. Only one company can be selected.
Is there a way to acomplish that ?
Thanks
Edited by: Andres on 16-ene-2012 12:52

Hi Andres,
We can make use of the 'Conditional display of sections in dashboard based on analysis results'. One option certainly is to write different analysis (narrative view or static text) with your company logs and embedding them in different sections of their corresponding reports in dashboards. These sections need to be conditionally displayed based on the dashboard prompt chosen. You can create analysis, each to read the presentation variable (associated with the prompt) and display a record only if a particular company is chosen. (Ex: Create an analysis with one column as @{variables.CompanyPrompt}. Create a filter on it like 'is equal to 'Oracle'. So this analysis, would display a record only if the presentation variable has the value 'Oracle').
I would keep you posted if I hit at any other much efficient way.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

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.

Presentation Variable in the SQL default section in the dashboard prompt

Hi Gurus,
I have two prompts and two go buttons. First Go button is used to populate pv_category1 presentation variable.
category_column --> pv_category1--> 1st Prompt
Product_Column --> pv_product2 --> 2nd Prompt
I want to set the default for the 2nd Prompt depending on the 1st Prompt ( Category) chosen by the user.
In the SQL default --> i have typed in the below Query.
*Select TableName.Product_Column from Subject_Area where category_column = '@{pv_category1}'*
The Problem is that i dont get any default value for 2nd Prompt after choosing the First prompt and hitting the GO Button.
If i hardcode the value in @{pv_category1} ...
for eg
Select TableName.Product_Column from Subject_Area where category_column = 'Incidents' i get the corresponding value as default.
But i want this 2nd prompt (product) to dyamically default depending on the 1st prompt (category) chosen by the user.
I am using OBIEE 10.1.3.4 and i have googled a lot on this topic...
can we not use Presentation variable in the SQL default section of the Dashboard Prompt?
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Ashish

Thanks for the Quick Reply.
But the functionality that i want to achieve is the default value in the 2nd column (out of many values for 2nd column) based on the 1st column chosen by the USER. for eg we have two columns in our database ie category and Product.. Data goes like this
category ProductName
Incidents --- A
Incidents --- B
Incidents --- C
Changes --- D
Changes --- E
Projects --- M
Projects --- N
Projects --- O
Projects --- P
If the User chooses Incidents in the first prompt then the default in the 2nd prompt should be B ( out of A,B,C Values available in the 2nd prompt)....
Checking the constraint checkbox doesnt solve the default problem...
Thanks
Ashish

OBIEE 11g Dashboard Prompt Reset Button Functionality

Dear Experts,
Can anyone explain what is the exact functionality of 'Reset' Button in any OBIEE 11g Dashboard Prompt.
If anyone found any documentation related to it... please let me know.
thanks,
Varun

Hi Varun,
This is the functionality of Reset button,
Reset will go back to last applied values. It does not clear values. Currently the Reset button works in the following ways:
if 1) the prompt is blank 2) select some value, 3) reset 4) it should go back to blank.
if 1) the prompt is blank 2) select some value, 3) apply 4) reset. 5) it should NOT to back to blank. actually it does not change anything.
if 1) the prompt is blank 2) select some value, 3) apply 4) change any values 5) reset. 6) it should undo any changes in step 4.
Rgds,
Dpka

Can I pass parameters from a dashboard via a dashboard prompt and presentation variable to publisher report based on a data model with select statements in OBIEE 11g ?

I have a publisher 11g (v 11.1.1.7) report with a single parameter. The report is based on a data model not a subject area. I created a dashboard put a dashboard prompt and link to the report in separate section on the same page. The dashboard prompt sets a presentation variable named the same as the parameter in the report.
The problem was when I created the dashboard prompt, it forced me to select a subject area which I did (though did not want to) and then I created both a column and variable prompts. But clicking on the
report link completely ignored the value that I thought would be passed in the presentation variable to the report.
Side note : My report uses a pdf template for its layout where I have mapped the columns names from my data model to the form fields on the pdf form. I noticed that if I create a publisher report based on a subject area, then I do not have the choice to choose a PDF as a template type for my layout. (I only see BI Publisher Template as a choice).
I see some documentation online that suggest it could be done in 10g.
Thanks
M. Jamal

Ok,
I just tried that and it still doesn't pass anything to the prompt.
I changed the prompt to an edit field and I made the following weblink but when i click the link from an account it doesn't put anything in the prompt and all data for all accounts is shown.
This is the URL maybe I messed something up...

Dashboard Prompts Not Working in OBIEE 10g

Hi People,
I developed a report with two dimension column and a fact column.
NBTY Level 1
NBTY Level 2
Spend Amount
NBTY Level 1 and 2 are from dimension and Spend Amount is a fact column. Both are joined in star schema. The results are correct.
So now i published the same report in a new dashboard, and created a new dashboard prompt on Dimension column "NBTY Level 1". I applied filter on the same column (Is Prompted) in report.But when i gave a value in Dashboard Prompt, the report is not changing. I cannot even find any trace of error displayed. When the prompt is selected and clicked on 'GO' button there is no moment in browser, it stays still. I have also permissions and everything is fine
Can some one please help in finding the problem, its an urgent issue, what possibly could go wrong?

Thank You for your reply.
Yes the prompt column is from same subject area.
I Created a Column Prompt in the report using the same column and it worked for that report. But when i used that prompt in dashboard its not applying.
I will share a logical query for Report but How should i fing logical query for a prompt?
The total behavior looks very strange.
