Dashboard Prompts in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I had a requirement:
In my dashboard page , prompts are YEAR , QUARTER , MONTH , PRODUCT NAME , ORDER NAME .
Now when i select YEAR = 2010 , then Quarter should display values related to 2010 .
If i select Quarter = 2010 Q1 then month should display only related values.
which is like creating dependency between the dashboard prompts.
Can some one please help me in this issue .

In your dashboard prompt properties you need to tick the 'Constrain' box for all the columns that you want be constrained by the other choices, e.g Year, Quarter, Month.
Only tick Product Name / Order Name if you want these to be constrained also but bear in mind it could cause a performance delay if you are having to join tables to get the constrain.
Hope this helps,
Regards
Alastair

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.
Regards
Shyam

Resetting Selection from a Multi-Select Dashboard Prompt in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I have a dashboard prompt, containing 3 columns which all are set to allow multi selection and default value is all values.
In 10g, after choosing some values in one of the prompt and clicking Go button, I can manually remove all my selection to reset it back to the default value (which is all values).
In 11g, however, I am not able to find how to do it. The reset button doesn't reset back to the default value (which is all values). So what I have to do is to use the "Clear All Customization", which will clear all my selection for all the prompts.
Any suggestion on how to do this? Thanks in advance!

Hi Deepak, actually I don't need any script to do that in 10g.
It's a built in feature in 10g. If you remember, for multiselect prompt in 10, we will click the "..." button to show the box for value selection. Then we can move values from left box to the right to include them, or vice versa to not include them. So by moving the values from right box to the left, I essentially revert to default value which mean all values will be shown.
In 11g, this box is not shown anymore, instead we are checking the values one by one from a drop down list.
Any suggestion? Thanks.

Dashboard prompt in Obiee 11g

Hi,
I have a requirement to hide dashboard prompt, and display it only if the previous prompt has a user input. For example, first I need to display a prompt for Country, if the user selects a value, the show a prompt for State, and if a user selects a value for this then show the prompt for city. I need to implement this in 11g. I read previous posts where they say make use of guided navigation, however I do not find this inn 11g.
Any help on this will be great,
Thanks,
Nikita

Cascade dashboard prompts in OBIEE 10.1.3.4

Hi,
Is there any concept of Cascade dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
I have a requirement as described below -
Start date and End date dashboard prompts. (Calendar) - Results of Start Date and End Date selected are captured in the Presentation Variables Startdt, Enddt respectively.
Promotions dashboard prompt (multi select) - This Prompt should show the results from the SQL Query -
SELECT "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."National Promotion" FROM "SPDM" where "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."NP Status"='Active' and "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."NP Region"='Canada' and "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."NP Type"='National' and "- Calendar".Date BETWEEN DATE '@{Startdt}{06/28/2010}' AND DATE '@{Enddt}{12/31/2010}'
But the results are not populating in the Promotions Prompt. Can anyone help me in fixing this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sri

Hi
This is a known OBIEE bug.
Please refer http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/presentation_variable_initialization
With a Multi Select dashboard prompt
You cannot set a Presentation Variable in a Multi Select dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10g. This is expected behavior. OBIEE 10g is working as designed. A Presentation variable can assume a single value. Because of that, presentation variables are not available when using multi select prompts. OBIEE 11g will introduce the ability to set Presentation Variables when using multi select prompts. In 10g you can try as a workaround using more than 1 prompt.
I don't more work arounds than listed here:
http://obiee-blog.info/answers/multiselect-prompt-presentation-variable/
But, these work arounds might not suffice your issue.
Please let me know if you come up with a better solution.
Good Luck.
Chandu.

Hierarchy Prompts in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I have an Issue with Implementing Hierarchy Prompts in OBIEE 11g. I understand that Filters on Hierarchy Prompts can be applied in Selection steps and cannot be viewed in the Physical Query as such. However, what happens is, the Hierarchy prompt only gets applied when the hierarchy is displayed in the report.It is not applied even when it is present in the excluded section. So, it works only when it is displayed in the report. Is this correct? Is there any workaround for this?
Any help on this would be much appreciated
Regards,
Venkatesh
Edited by: obiapps on May 30, 2012 7:42 PM

If the column set to prompt no matters what (column is present,or not, excluded or hidden) the prompt should work.
Check it again something might gone wrong.
If it is helpful, please mark as correct or helpful

How to set width of a prompt in OBIEE 11g?

Hi,
We have recently upgraded to OBIEE 11G.
In 10g all our prompts were fine. After upgrade, the prompts look distracted. All the prompts are Choice Lists.
The width of the prompts is varying depending on the width of the values that are coming from the DB.
Our requirement demands fixed width for the prompts. Is there any way to do it!!
Thanks!!

Issues with less than and grater than condition in prompts in OBIEE 11g,

Hi all,
i am facing the prombles with less than grater than conditions in OBIEE 11g.

filters are as below:
lastupdated date is grater than or equal to @{datefrom}{1/1/1950}
lastupdated date is less than or equal to @{dateto){1/1/1950}
and created two prompts
creation datefrom >=
creation dateto<=
when i passing the dates 05/12/2004 and 05/12/2005 in prompts after clicking the apply button in OBIEE 11g it feches all the records but i need records between these dates. and one more thing is after clicking apply button the two date fields getting the same date..

Thanks
Edited by: BI_user on Oct 12, 2011 2:10 AM

Hi,
Create date prompts with operator as = not >= (or) <= as you need to save that value in presentation variable and you are filtering report using those variable filters.

Only one Apply button for Dashboard Prompt in obiee

Hi experts,
We have a need wer we need to place prompts at specified places like one at right top then next 3 one below other. But only one Apply button.
Please let me know how to customize OBIEE 11.1.1.5 to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You are using OBIEE 11g ,so constrain the second report should be on the first prompt.I mean,In the second prompt properties we have an option like "based on the other prompt";where you need to give the first prompt column name.like wise third prompt also.
Then you will get only one apply button for 3 prompts.
mar if helpful/correct..

Issue with Dashboard customization in OBIEE 11G

Hi All,
I have a dashboard page with 1 prompt and 4 sections. My need is to show all sections minimized when a user logs in to the analytics. So as a Admin I have minimized all sections and saved the customization for others as Default customization.
Now the problem is I have column called Month in my Prompt, which is a Multi select column, for this column I made to select few values by default using SQL results option, which basically selects all months less than current month, for example current month is Jan'13 so values till Dec'12 month will be checked by default. Since we have saved customization, the month column is not getting refreshed , for example when I login to analytics on Feb'13 , the data is still checked till Dec'12, which ideally should also include Jan'13 as well.
Anyone please advise on this issue.
Thanks,
GJ

Hi,
I used this method with success in a number of dashboards, it should work also in your case.
I defined the dashboard prompt to have column values defaulted in some way (by means of specifying explicit values, using SQL results or variables, etc - the method does not matter).
I built the dashboard page including prompt and analyses.
Then I run the dashboard page and, without doing anything other, I collapsed the sections I wanted to start as closed and saved as shared customization.
It does work fine in my case, the prompt works as specified.
Hope this helps,
Cristina
