Data in a narrative view.

Sorry if this is simple. Just want to display the multiple values from a report prompt, not dashboard prompt, in the report. My effort has taken me to the narrative view and am using @12 to display the values in the column which has been filtered. But it is listing the values many times for each row. Can I use the narrative to display only distinct @12s or is there a better way to get the prompt values into the report. Thanks

You can do this with pivot table, it is not possible with Narrative.
1. Create pivot view for same report
2. exclude all the columns other than the column you want to show
3. Put the column in measures
4. duplicate the column, drag the duplicate column in to columns and hide
5. drag measure labels into Rows
6. apply aggregation to First on column in measures.
it works, I will blog it shortly with screen shots soon.

To display Date prompts in narrative view

Hi,
I'm new to Obiee.I have created 'From Date' prompt (greater than or equal to ) and 'To date'(less than or equal to) prompts ,I was able to display the reports correctly ,What i need is to display the chosen dates in title of the report.How can i achieve this using Answers? (i.e)In title i need to display 'Pending Amount Between FromDate to ToDate '
Thanks in advance,
Princy

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.I was able to complete major part of my need.But the last thing i need is,
Using presentation variables i was able to display the dates correctly in Table View,but i'm able to display only the 'From Date' in my narrative view.I need to display the 'To Date' also in my narrative view.I had applied two filters (i.e;greater than or equal to presentation variable and less than or equal to presentation variable)in column 'Date' .
Since i'm using a single column 'Date' for prompts i dont know how to give the condition in narrative view to show the 'To Date' in narrative view which the user chooses from prompts.

Narrative view query

Is it possible to use a condition in a narrative view.
I have a summary report in which if the user clicks Month I should get in the list report's narrative view as Data for that month.
same thing goes for year and quarter. Is it possible?

Hi,
>I have a summary report in which if the user clicks Month I should get in the list report's narrative view as Data for that month.
Can you be clear on this.
User clicks Month value in month column?
So are you navigating to any other page when he clicks on that value?
If you are navigating to drill report,then pull one dummy column in that report criteria and hide it.Write formula to fetch date in fx of this dummy column,make month column as prompted in the drill report.Show that date fetched in narrative view as @n,n is position of that hidden column in criteria(@1 if its position is 1 from left).

Narrative View chnage how data is viewed

When I select a narrative view, and enter @1 and @2 in the body, I am seeing the data structured this way:
Jan 10% Feb 20% Mar 25%
I want the data to look like this:
Jan Feb Mar
10% 20% 25%
Can this be done? Thanks.

You can make use of HTML table tags
in prefix section ---> <table>
in narrative -->
<tr>
<td> ....
</td>
in postfix (close the table) ---> </table>
Make sure that you check the check box for 'Contains HTML Markup'

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.

Hi,
sorry , i could not solve the problem. the below case statement i put in the formula of a date column but i got some syntax error.One more thing is case statement is appearing in the select query not in where condition. Do u mean to say if i will put the same column as is prompted then it will come in where condition.
Could u plz help me where i am doing wrong .
case when '@{Period}'='Weekly' then Alerts."Creation Date and Time" between '@{PStartDate -7}' and '@{PStartDate}' end

Script result not showing up in narrative view

I'm making a org chart as a narrative view.
If I do not tick "Contains HTML Markup" the result of the script is displayed. If I cut-n-past that content into a HTML file it display the result I'm looking for. However if I tick "Contains HTML Markup" the narrative view displays as empty.I have Attached two screenshots displaying this.
Any ideas what I'm not doing right? Have I forgotten some config to enable scripts in narrative view?
this is the script I'm using
Prefix:
<script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.google.com/jsapi'></script>
    <script type='text/javascript'>
if(document.URL.indexOf("saw.dll?Answers") == -1) {
      google.load('visualization', '1', {packages:['orgchart']});
      google.setOnLoadCallback(drawOrgChart);
      function drawOrgChart() {
if(document.URL.indexOf("saw.dll?Answers") == -1) {
      var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();
        data.addColumn('string', 'Name');
        data.addColumn('string', 'Manager');
        data.addColumn('string', 'ToolTip');
        var myOrgArray=[];
        var tempStr = "";
Narrative:
myOrgArray.push(["@1","@3","@2"]);
Postfix
     data.addRows(myOrgArray);
        var chart = new google.visualization.OrgChart(document.getElementById('div_orgchart'));
        chart.draw(data, {allowHtml:true});
    </script>
    <div id='div_orgchart'></div>

Yes, sorry, client is obviously sufficient as well.
Just tried your code and same behaviour here and it doesn't do squat either. Can't deep-dive into that code right now but it's definitely code-related issue rather than a browser one for example.
Thought about trying d3js? Would be easier to reproduce for me as I use that more often than Google's data-munching pipe that pushes all your data through Google Analytics
Edit: Clicked too quickly. Wanted to point you to the SampleApp dashboard page which hosts the example I meant: http://slc02oka.oracle.com:7780/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=%2Fshared%2F02.%20Visualizations%2F_portal%2F2.32…

Edit 2: Jesus I really should stop clicking "Save Reply" just to not lose it. Simply show your analysis on a dashboard and you're fine. It'll work.

Narrative view current year

Hi..
How could I view the current year by default in narrative view. I have used the following code
Year @{pvYear}*{year(current_year)*
Here pvYear is my presentation variable. At first time it shows Year year(current_year) in my report. When I use the prompt its shows my selected year.
Right now I have hard coded as
Year @{pvYear}{2009}
Thanks
Mohan

These are the step you have to follow
create one dummy column in the report and write the following formula
*case when @{year}=null then year(current_date) else @{year} end* and refer that column in the narrative view
and in the dashboar prompt defualt to drop down select repository variable and give the current year repository variable there
or choose SQL results and write the following formula
* SELECT case when 1=0 then "- Actual Start Date"."Start Year" else Year(current_date) end FROM Activities*
hope it helps you

Refresh/Update data in a materialized view

Hi,
I have question about the data in a materialized view and how it is refreshed. My mat view has all my dimension-ids and my (for my specialize needs) aggregated measures from my fact table. I used the mat view wizard to create my view - which works perfectly. But now I wonder if I have to create some sort of mapping(?) or some sort of trigger to refresh the data in the mat view. Or is the data automatically refreshed when I start my fact table mappings. I use OWB 11gR2
thx

MVs have properties for refresh - you an refresh based on schedules or when dependent data is committed or manually.

Is it possible to maintain table data in a maintenance view

hi all,
is it possible to maintain data in a table by using maintenance view.

Hi,
if you maintain texts of your objects in different languages it's better to use a maint. view:
example
1) ZTAB01 - CU-Data
2) ZTAB01T - texts to CU-Data
3) ZTAB01_V - maint.-view of 1) and 2)
hope that helps

Use evdre to query data from a SQL View

Hi all
I believe that it is possible to use evdre to query data from a SQL View. If this is possible then how does one go about setting it up in the evdre options (assuming that the view has already been created)?
Regards,
Byron

Byron, perhaps this is no longer supported, it might be worth opening up a case at service.sap.com on this. However, I did find the following on Page 11 of the "Usages and Considerations of EVDRE" pdf file. This doc is imbedded in the helpfile for BPC 7 SP5 (which was released in August of 2009, well after note 1315011 was last updated.
It looks like you are limited to one custom view per application, since you have to name the view in a parameter at the APPLICATION level. Go into BPC Administration, login to the application related to the custom view, choose "Set Application Parameters" and enter the name of the view to the Application Parameter called "EVDRE_QUERYVIEWNAME" If it is not listed, go ahead and create it at the bottom of the Application parameter screen.
Also: I interpreted the following info from Page 10 of the same doc:
In your EVDRE, set the following options:
QueryEngine: MANUAL
QueryType: enter either NEXJ OR TUPLE see below:
NEXJ - Use two-dimensional queries using the nonemptycrossjoin function
TUPLE - Use two-dimensional queries using tuples"
And I'm assuming you'd enter a Y for the following two parameters:
QueryViewName
"..to enforce the query engine to use a used-defined SQL view of the fact tables, when trying to read the values using SQL queries. This option is typically used in conjunction with the SQLOnly option (see below). "
Option SQLOnly
"..to enforce the query engine to only execute SQL queries, when reading data. This can be achieved using this option."

How to retreive data from a maintainence view?

Hi all,
I have used select query to retreive data from a maintainence view. But it gave me a syntactical error that XYZ is not in abap dictionary , it's a database / projection view?
So can't we get data from a view using select query?
Please share if u have answers.
Thanks & regards,
Chandru

Hi,
Maintenance view will be created for database tables only.
Just display the maintainence from SE11 and click Tables tab in the screen
Here you can find the list of tables used to created for Maintainence view.
YOu can use these tables to write SELECT.
If you give us the maintainence table, we will help you.

Exporting data from a materialized view in Oracle 10g

Can anybody tell me how to export data to a remote server and import data in that remote server without using ftp utility. Actually I want to export the data from a materialized view to the remote server and import the same in the remote server.
If everything works well, I'll put the exporting and importing in a cronjob.
Please let me know how can I do that if that's possible .
Any reply would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Here is what I'm trying to do.
I created materialized views using multiple base tables in my local server and the base tables got populated using a long process.
Now I want to copy those data alone to some remote server since it doesn't have any base tables in it. For now, the remote server should depends on the localserver's data. I'm going to use the remote server's data for some testing purposes.
I know it is easy to create mat.views in the remote server but it doesn't have I don't want to do that now. I just want to copy the snapshots from my local server to the remote server.
Please let me know how to do that.
Thanks.
