Passing a date presentation variable in 'Invoke a Browser Script'

Hi,
I have a problem with passing presentation variable with Invoke a Browser Script.
In my main report i set the filters and it works correctly:
ColumnDate is greater than or equal to @{vStartDate}{01/05/2015}
ColumnDate is less than or equal to @{vEndDate}{04/05/2015}
(It works with different dates, i have tested, not only for the values between 01/05/2015 and 04/05/2015)
i gave the same filters to the detail report.
When i choose the action link to go the detail report, it only brings me the values between 01/05/2015 and 04/05/2015 .
If i remove the default date values then both report gives the error :
A date value was expected (received "vStartDate").

Error Codes: GYYEWLWG
What i am doing wrong?
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

You should be using prepared statements.
String scoredGoalsQuery = "SELECT count(name) from player_goal_rel where name = ? and pdate BETWEEN ? and ?":
PreparedStatement pstmt = connection.prepareStatement(scoredGoalsQuery);
pstmt.setString(1, pName);
pstmt.setDate(2, startYear);
pstmt.setDate(3, endYear);
ResultSet scoredGoalsResult = pstmt.executeQuery();

Use presentation variable in date filter

Hi,
I have a Date presentation variable pvEffDt whose value is set in a dashboard prompt. How do I access this variable in a Date between filter? I actually need data for chosen date's previous month (weird, why don't I choose the previous month itself. yeah true, but I want to try something else).
I have tried the following but to no avail - CAST (TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH, -1, cast('@{pvEffDt}[MM/DD/YYYY]' as TIMESTAMP) as DATE)
I get the following error -
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).

Regards,
Vijay.

I had already tried this before and it didn't work either.
Just to point it again, I am defining this In the filter, under More Options->Presentation Variable.
i have also tried doing "Convert this filter to SQL" and passed
("ATTR_FACT_MTHLY"."EFF_DT" IN (ADD_MONTHS(@{pvEffDt}, -1)))
Just to verify the same, I tried
("ATTR_FACT_MTHLY"."EFF_DT" IN (ADD_MONTHS(TO_DATE('31/10/2012', 'DD/MM/YYYY'), -1)))
but even this did not work.
I really don't know how to make it work. I simply need the filter to have the value "Chosen date's previous month".

Presentation Variables Date Format

Hi,
I have a direct sql request that uses date presentation variables via a dashboard prompt:
Direct SQL:
select id, customer
from test
where date between @startdate and @enddate
If I enter startdate '31/03/2013 00:00:00' in the dashboard prompt selection:
OBIEE converts the above query into database date format:
'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'
The database is in date format DD-MON-YYY, this results in error ORA-01861: literal does not match format string
can anyone help with where the date format should be set?
Thanks

There are different levels of users on this forum so you need to be more specific and provide examples to novice users....I want user to think on given hints and fix by himself instead of detailed with examples, this would help user to learn and think in new dimensions instead of depending on any one.
Sometimes I'll be responding more detail based on their registered date with OTN and # posts posted.
in your case my hint not fired!! so no full points ;)

Re: How set two presentation variables with one prompt
Edited by: Srini VEERAVALLI on Apr 11, 2013 10:55 AM

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

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...

Issue with SQL Query with Presentation Variable as Data Source in BI Publisher

Hello All
I have an issue with creating BIP report based on OBIEE reports which is done using direct SQL. There is this one report in OBIEE dashboard, which is written using direct SQL. To create the pixel perfect version of this report, I am creating BIP data model using SQL Query as data source. The physical query that is used to create OBIEE report has several presentation variables in its where clause.

When I try to view data after creating the data set, I get the following error:
Failed to load XML
XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: . Location: http://172.20.17.142:9704/xmlpserver/servlet/xdo Line Number 2, Column 580:
Now when I remove those Presention variables (@{PV1}, @{PV2}) in the query with some hard coded values, it is working fine.
So I know it is the PV that's causing this error.
How can I work around it?
There is no way to create equivalent report without using the direct sql..
Thanks in advance

I have found a solution to this problem after some more investigation. PowerQuery does not support to use SQL statement as source for Teradata (possibly same for other sources as well). This is "by design" according to Microsoft. Hence the problem
is not because different PowerQuery versions as mentioned above. When designing the query in PowerQuery in Excel make sure to use the interface/navigation to create the query/select tables and NOT a SQL statement. The SQL statement as source works fine on
a client machine but not when scheduling it in Power BI in the cloud. I would like to see that the functionality within PowerQuery and Excel should be the same as in Power BI in the cloud. And at least when there is a difference it would be nice with documentation
or more descriptive errors.

Presentation Variable Date Format

Hi all trying to format a presentation variable in a Narrative view , Is there a way that this can be done using javascript or html that i can paste into narrative view.
i want something like "the date being used is @{indate} for month end"
Also date format needs to be dd.mm.yyyy ... its currenty being displayed as yyyy/mm/dd .. I dont want to add the columns in my report and hide them as there seems to be a performance lag when i do that.
Any ideas .. Java gurus out there.
I have tried @{indate}[dd.mm.yyyy] .. but that dont work.
Cheers
Jenny

Here you go...
I tried in my machine and its working great..
In Answers--> in Criteria TAB, In the column's fx use below formula...
case when 1=1 then EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as varchar(20),date '@{pv_date}{1998-07-05}','dd.mm.yyyy') else "ORE Time Dim"."Mnth Name" end
pv_date is the presentation variable and
For "ORE Time Dim"."Mnth Name" use any varchar datatype column...
Hope it helpful...
Thanks

Date format is changing in presentation variable

Hello,
I have a problem with date stored in presentation variable.
I have simple prompt with calendar field (default date value is setted from repository or session variable to current date). Selected date is stored in PP_DATE presentation variable.
I have simple report with title to show the content of variable PP_DATE.
And now the problem.
When I navigate to dashboard page with this report I will get date from PP_DATE variable in some format (there is difference when I use repository or session variable). After I will push the start button I will get another date format from PP_DATE variable.
Screenshots are stored and described in this PDF: [PDF with screenshots|https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B2LOPOBteIShMDRmYTJlYTItNmYyZC00ODdkLWE5NjktNzI1N2RlNWMwZjBk]
There is difference between session and repository variable. When I use repository variable I will get 'TIMESTAMP .......' from PP_DATE variable, which is the default initializer in repository variable manager. I tried to delete default initializer, but I is automatically added after saving changes.
When is the default value of prompt setted from session variable I will get another format of date from PP_DATE variable which refers to DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss.mss" (from NQSConfig.ini). I have changed DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT from standard value "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mi:ss" to "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss.mss" because I am reading some data from excel, where are dates stored in MSSQL format. But this is not the reason of my problem. I have the same problem also with standard DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT.
The result of this strange behaviour is that I am getting errors when I am doing some calculations (for example TimeStampDiff) with PP_DATE variable. I am getting error when I am navigating to dashboard page. Everything is ok after I will push the start button.
Do you have some tips?
Thank you

Hey,
you are talking about so many pieces here seems..
first letz break down your issues list..
1. error, this is because of default date(using repository variable) used in prompt..
2. using presentation variables in timetampdiff functions..
3. showing variable in title list..
we'll go through each issue..
because, its' messed up..I think that everywhere is the same problem. So solving issue number 1 will solve my other problems.
"1. error, this is because of default date(using repository variable) used in prompt.. "
I want to use date prompt with default date value (from repository or session variable) and then use pp_date presentation variable from this prompt to filter my results.
I would like to use repos. or session variables, I dont want to write some select to fill default date value in each prompt.
I tried to change one date in initialization block from "trunc(sysdate, 'DD')" to "to_char(sysdate, 'YYYY-MM-DD')" because it is the same format as DATE_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy-mm-dd" in NQSConfig.ini
And now it seems to be working now.
I can use repository var. as default date value in my prompt and use date variable pp_date to filter my results. Report return result after navigation on it and after pushing Go button.
Can you confirm me that date format in initialization block must be the same as DATE_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy-mm-dd" in NQSConfig.ini?

Issue with referencing Presentation variables(Date cols) in Case statement

Hi,
I m trying to reference presentation variables created on a Date column in the case statement of one of the request's columns as shown below:
case when "- Quote Details"."Creation Date" between '@{from}{1999-1-1}' and '@{until}{2999-1-1}' then "- Quote Metrics"."# of Quotes" end
I m getting a view display error with the below error message:

When I created the prompt on the date field I put the following formula in the prompt:
cast("- Time".Day as DATE)
When I apply a filter on the request using these variables it works fine.
If anyone has faced this kind of issue earlier and have a resolution, please help me out.
Thanks,
Kartik

Thanks Goran!!
I've created prompts by selecting columns from the logical tables (i.e. I've selected 2 different cols of datatype DATE...inorder to assign 2 presentation variables).
Yes I m using calendar widget for prompts.
I haven't included any filter in my report. I m trying to display a metric when it satisfies the case statement.
I will defintley go through the blogs you mentioned for better understanding.
Thanks,
Kartik

Date format in presentation variable

Dear Guru,
My prompt has a calendar month edit box which is in "YYYY / MM" format. I have set this as a presentation variable p_month.
Now I need to add 1 month to this presentation variable in the filter, I have tried to write the sql but it is complicated, and it does not work. Anyone could help?
Thanks a lot,
Joe

Thanks, but I have tried the following, it returns a error msg.

Presentation variable(Date) in German Format

Hi,
I like to know whether it is possible to use date(prompt) in German format.
e.g., We need to filter out the date(06.01.2009) which is given in Dashboard prompt as a Presentation variable.
The date which we have given in prompt should be accessed by reports to perform some calculations and return back the calculation values.
As we have tried the presentation variable(date) in US Format,it is working fine.
Regards,
Sakthi

Hi kishore,
I am not clear with the above mentioned forum link.
We are using presentation variable for dynamic calculations inside the report.
Suppose if we are giving date for dynamic calculation,as far as we are using this format (01.Jan.09) and convert the above format in required as used for calculations.
The problem comes when german date format(01.Dez.2008) is given in prompt,it will throw an error.
Because both German and US will have January & Januar Jan(First 3 letters as same) but when it comes for some months like December(Dezember(German)),we cannot convert into required format.
Is there any solution for the above issue.

Formatting date of Presentation Variable in Report title

Hi
I have the following presentation variable, @{PR_WE_DATE}{Week End Date}, in a report title. However the date format shown in the title is different from the format in the prompt.
In the report title the date format is YYYY-MM-DD however I want to display it as DD_MM_YYYY
Can anyone let me know if it possible to format the date format for a presentation variable?
Regards
A

I've tried this and all this output to the title is 2009-12-03[DD_MM_YYYY]
Any other suggestions? Maybe I can change it when I set the variable in the prompt, did try {variable}[DD_MM_YYYY], in the prompt but it didn't work

Presentation variable data format

Hi All,
We are using date as presentation variable and using that presentation variable in reports column formula's, but in prompt date format is showing MM-DD-YYYY, but in report it is taking as YYYY-MM-DD because of this data format difference it is giving error on dashboard but working fine in report results. If we change the format of date as char and giving user input filter it is working fine but users want the prompt value as it is. So how can we change presentation variable format in column edit formula?
Tanks in advance.

Try to look into that prompt column to see why you are getting different date format.
If it is not correct as per you application then I would suggest to correct it using column->Data Format and then Save.
I would suggest to convert the filter to SQL format to handle it, you may get it after Filter... button add date and then use Advanced button. using SQL you have options to do it.
Thanks

Issue with Date Format for Presentation Variables

Hi,
I am using dashboard prompts to capture begin date and end date in presentation variables. The dates selected from calendar are in the format mm/dd/yyyy.
In Asnwers I need to get a count of days between begin and end dates. I am using the column formula as shown:
TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY, DATE '@{pBeginDate}', DATE '@{pEndDate}')
When ever I run the report from dashboard I get the following error:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 46046] Datetime value 1/1/2005 does not match the specified format. (HY000)
SQL Issued: {call NQSGetQueryColumnInfo('SELECT "Transaction Dates"."Transaction Date", TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY, DATE ''1/1/2005'', DATE ''1/2/2006'' FROM "Dates"')}
SQL Issued: SELECT "Transaction Dates"."Transaction Date", TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY, DATE '1/1/2005', DATE '1/2/2006') FROM "Dates"
Can anyone help me to reolve this date format issue?
Thanks,

Date format problem - dashboard prompt - presentation variable

Hi,
I've created a dashboard prompt on a date and defined a presentation variable.
In my report I make use of the following object : TimeStampAdd(SQL_TSI_MONTH,-12,date '@{pv_afw_start_date}' )
My report works when making use of a drop down list, but when I want to make use of a calendar to select from, I receive the following error
*A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 46047] Datetime value 17/11/2009 from 17/11/2009 does not match the specified format. (HY000)*
Is there a difference in the date formats used by the prompt type (drop down list, calendar, ..)? And how you can align them..
Txs for your help.

Timestampadd ask for a timestamp not for a date.
Check here :
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12103_01/books/admintool/admintool_SQL14.html
The syntax is :
TimestampAdd(SQL_TSI_DAY, 3, TIMESTAMP '2000-02-27 14:30:00')You may have to change your prompt to retrieve a timestamp.
Where do you use your formula ? In a formula column ?
