Displaying Prompt values in webi report

Hi,
How to display prompt value in my webi report.
For one prompt value I can user Userresponse function.
In one of my report, I have a prompt for Date, which also should be displayed in the report under one field. I am using the below formula: =UserResponse("Enter Date:")
But my new requirement is User wants a Date Range for a particual trasaction date. I created a report level prompt like
Transaction Date Between "Enter Tran Date(Start):" and "Enter Tran Date(End):"
I need to display the start date and end date user selected under one field Date in my webi report.
how should I do that.
Please share your thoughts.
Thanks,
Ven Men

Hi Ven,
You have created a report level prompt like
Transaction Date Between "Enter Tran Date(Start):" and "Enter Tran Date(End):"
1.Drag two blank cell on report.
2.click on one blank cell and on formula editor type following formula.
=UserResponse("Enter Tran Date(Start):" )
This will show you start date in the cell.
3.Similarly in another cell type the following formula
=UserResponse("Enter Tran Date(End):" )
This will show you End Date in respective cell.
Do revert in case of any queries.
Thanks,

Default prompt values in webI report???

I am using BO XI 3.1 on BW universe, I have a prompt A in the prompt window which has many Lov's but user will freequently use only three values out of it.
So I want to make those three values to be default for that promp A when ever the report gets refreshed, so that it will be easy for user not to search in the big list for those 3 values.
Any inputs please.
Thanks,

Hi,
You can make some values as default prompt values by webi report.
1) Open the webi report.
2) Edit the query then go to the prompt
3) Go to the prompt properties checked the chekcbox "Set default values" and type the three values and ok.
So next time user refresh the report all three values come in the filter default.They can remove or add more values in the list.but every time all values come in the filter.
Thanks,

Hi Bw Mates,,,
I am trying to display the variable values in Web Report.
I put one text Item in Template and checked the Variable Display and entered the variable name in List.
still I cannot see the variable values in the report.
Thanks for your help.

<object>
         <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
         <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
         <param name="NAME" value="TEXTELEMENTS_1"/>
         <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_TEXT_ELEMENTS"/>
         <param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
         <param name="GENERATE_LINKS" value=""/>
         <param name="GENERATE_CAPTION" value="BORDER"/>
         <param name="SHOW_COMMON_ELEMENTS" value=""/>
         <param name="ELEMENT_TYPE_1" value="VARIABLE"/>
         <param name="ELEMENT_NAME_1" value="Z_CP_018"/>
         ITEM:            TEXTELEMENTS_1
</object>
as the other poster mentioned the variable name has to be in upper case.
if only_values = 'X' you will just get the value other wise
you will get something like below.
variable description = variable value

Can we combine prompt values in Webintelligence Report(Combined Q:Union)

Hi Every One,
I had 4 Queries which are combined queries(Union).When i run the report ,displaying prompt values which are there in first Query.Can't we get combined prompt values when i run the report.I will explain with Scenario.
Eg:
Q1:Product level Country Information
Prompt Values:Country(A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H)
Q2:Component level Country Information
Prompt Values:Country(A,B,C,D,E,F,L)
Q3:Product level Source Information
Prompt Values:Country(A,B,C,D,E)
Q4:Product level Country Information
Prompt Values:Country(A,B,C,D,E,F,M)
When i run the report iam getting prompt values for country as (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H)
Could you help .
Regards,
Swapna.

I'm having trouble understanding your scenario as you explain it.
You are doing a union of the queries?
So create query A, combine queries, union, create query B, etc.
All of them use the same prompt message?
So you either build the condition and reuse the same prompt message or you use a filter from the universe.
In this case it is not possible to specify something different for each of the various subqueries.
So you would have only one prompt answer, being whatever you answered to the prompt.
If you have different prompt messages, you can give different answers, but then you have 4 prompt answers to display.
It would be logical that only the first one is displayed if that is the one you display, you should display all four.
If you just want to display the superset of countries which have been retrieved by the query you can put this information in a separate table block. If you make it a horizontal one, without borders, you should be able to come close to a normal prompt layout.
Good luck,
Marianne

Date range to be displayed & Displaying multiple values on the report

Hi,
I have date range parameters, but I also need it to be displayed it on the report. Is there any way I can display it. E.G If a parameter is created one can drag and drop it on the report if it needs to be displayed on the report, I tried to do the same for the date range parameter but it does not work.
Also If a parameter is created by selecting the option 'Allow Multiple Values', and if you drag and drop it on the report only the first value is displayed and the rest does not show. Has anyone tried this before and been successful in displaying multiple values in the report.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
A multi-value parameter is actually treated as an array in Crystal Reports.
To display the values selected in the parameter, create a formula from the Field Explorer and type this code:
Join({?ParameterName},",");
Place this formula on the header or the footer sections of the report.
Regarding the date range issue, please follow Sastry's advice and it should work fine.
Make sure you're using the parameter in the Minimum and Maximum functions. For eg: If I was to create a date range parameter called OrderDate, my formula to show the start date would look like this:
Minimum({?OrderDate})

Displaying UMLAUT characters in WEBI report - Need Confirmation in Settings

Hi,
I am using BOXI-R2 in Windows machine. I have done the below settings in BO configuration files.
My WEBI report shows no data to display when there are UMLAUT German characters (for example) in the data. Japanese and English characters are displayed in the report properly.
Settings:
1. Arial Unicode Font installed.
2. fontalias.xml - Default section font is Arial Unicode
3. i18n.xml - Arial Unicode MS entry available
4. defaultconfig.xml - <CUSTOM_GUI_FONTS VALUE="Arial Unicode MS"/>
5. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE - NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA. AL32UTF8
6. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/HOME0 - NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA. AL32UTF8
7. cs.cfg - <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameters>.
8. oracle.sbo - <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter>
9. sybase.sbo - <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter>
10. odbc.sbo - <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter> in default section
My WEBI report is using generic odbc connectivity to sybase. After some changes to the above settings report displays UMLAUTS properly with the below change.
odbc.sbo - <Parameter Name="Unicode">CharSet</Parameter> in generic odbc section
Please let me know whether this is the correct change to be done for this issue. Also what is the reason UMLAUTS are not getting displayed when i use UTF8.

Passing a Prompt value to Webi using Xcelsius with OpenDocument

-Operating System: Windows XP
-OS Patch level: Service Pack 3
-Office Version: 2007
-Flash Player version: 10
-Xcelsius Version and Patch Level: Enterprise 2008 with SP2 (version: 5.2.0.0)
-Xcelsius Build number (Help>About Xcelsius): 12,2,0,608
-Business Objects Enterprise version/patch level (if applicable): Edge 3.1
-Issue Description:
I'm trying to open a Webi Document from my Xcelsius dashboard and pass the value for the prompt "Region". Ultimately I want to have this value determined by the drill down from a chart but at the moment I cannot get it to work even by adding the value at the end of the URL. The webi report opens but the user is given the prompt option and asked to select the value, where I want to pass this so it automatically shows the selected region.
The URL I'm currently using is:
http://"servername":8081/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sRefresh=Y&sDocName=Regional_Drilldown&mode=full&nbPrompts=1&lsSRegion=South
I have double checked the report and the prompt is definitely called "Region" and "South" is a valid region.
I would be very grateful for some help.
Many thanks
Robert Peters

Hi Robert
I would take out the reference to the number of prompts to give:
http://"servername":8081/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sRefresh=Y&sDocName=Regional_Drilldown&mode=full&IsSRegion=South
If you copy and paste the url into a browser does it sucessfully find the document?

Prompt issue in webi Report

Hi All,
My webi report have two date prompt i.e start date & end date.During report refresh if I give the dates which doesn't have any data/wrong data then I'm getting standard error as "NO data to Fetch".
1.Here My concern is how and where do it.
i.e Changing "NO data to Fetch". to custom one. e.g Dates (start date & end date) doesn't have any data like that...
2. In the same report if it is in tabular format with given prompts have no data then empty table structure is displayed. When I change this table to any chart(pie or bar or line..) nothing is displayed for the same prompts. i.e. How can we display empty structure of chart similar to that of table if given prompts are wrong/ not having any data.
Any help is highly appreciated..
Cheers,
Suresh Aluri.

Hi Suresh,
Here is the complete explaination:
Consider the scenario that you have 1 data provider in the report lets name it DP, which is not returning any row for the selected date range.
1. Union the main query with the dummy Select 'A','B','C',0,0,0 from dual - (Eg given for oracle)
    When the main query returns no row, this dummy query will return 1 row, which will suppress the default pop-up
    of - "no data to retreive"
2. Place a cell in the report, with the desired error message written. Background white and no borders and font white.
3. Place the block above this cell i.e. one above the other. Check the property to hide block when empty.
4. Create alterer to make the font black or to any other color and apply it tto he cell created in step 2.
    Enable the alerter when DP returns only 1 row.
I hope the steps are clear.. and solution helps you.
Regards,
Rohit

Hello Friends,
We have a web report which uses a variable made on 0CALMONTH. The order of display of values for this variable search help is 02/2004, 03/2004, 01/2005, 07/2006, 08/2006, 05/2007. In this order we have the latest date (05/2007) displayed at the end of the list. What we want is that the values in the search help of 0CALMONTH should be displayed in the reverse order i.e. latest date first (05/2007, 08/2006, 07/2006... etc).
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

How to get prompt value in Financial Reporting and use it as header

Hi Oracle Gurus,
I have Hyperion Financial Reporting 11.1.1.3. I created a report.
I have Products dimension on rows. And I also have prompt for Products.
Let's say there is 3 products, Product A, B, and C, with each has its own level 0 item (for example A1, A2, B1, C1)
Currently in my situation, user will be prompted to select a list of Products, and then the report will display only the level 0 of the product chosen by the user. For example, user select Product A, then the report (or the grid) will display A1 and A2 on rows. User select Product B, B1 will be displayed.
My question is, I want to create a dynamic header report, so how can I get this prompt value and use it as a report header? For example: Sales of Product A when user choose Product A, or Sales of Product B when user choose Product B.
Thanks a lot for your response.

Hi,
Here is the possible way to achieve it:
1. Insert a row (may be as row 1) in the report which has product as "User prompt".
2. mark this row as hidden always
3. User other rows as level0 of product in row 1
4. Use MEMBERALIAS in your header to use product as dimension & row as row1
Hope it helps !!

Failed to fill the prompts when creating Webi Report

Hi,
I am having some difficulties when I was trying to creating Webi reports. It shows error when I tried to fill in the prompts before the query runs. The report data comes from the SAP Business Warehouse. So far it is my understanding for the query flow:
Step 1
SAP Business Warehouse <-- Query A (BW Query) <--
Step 2
BO Universe <-- Query B (By drag & drop) <-- Application(e.g. Webi, QaaWS)
When I run the Query A (using 'Analyzer' in 'Business Explorer') to extract data from BW, the query appears 7 optional parameters for filtering. After I filled some of the fields, the query runs fine -> Step 1 OK.
When I want to do the same thing in a BO approach by building query (i.e. Query B) to draw data from the universe (which points to the Query A in BW) using different applications(e.g. QaaWS, Webi via InfoViewApp, Java Webservice SDK: QueryService & ReportEngine, etc), the application will display 7 optional prompts (i.e. those referring to those appeared in Query A) before the query executes. However, when I tried to fill those prompts, the application appears some fill prompts error and no query job is submitted to the BW -> Step 2 Fails.
When I skipped to fill those optional prompts in building the Query B, the query job can be submitted and the query result is returned.
Before the error occurs, I have been working on building similar Webi report and everything goes fine. I feel so strange that why the error appears so suddenly and I would like to ask how to avoid it.
Many Thanks,
Gary

Hi Adil,
I am using BOXIR3 and a screenshot is attached below:
[http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3200/2948600340_4f1330d283_o.jpg]
I have built the query in InfoView by drag & drop and after I click the 'Run Query' (the circled area), it is expected I will be asked to fill in some optional prompts (from BW query). Instead, an error shown about 2 minutes after clicking the button,.

Can we set prompts value in Webi to schedule thru JAVA SDK 4.0

Hi,
I need to schedule webi report which has prompts. Can we have schedule webi report with prompts in 4.0.
I was able set values for prompts and refresh the webi report using documentInstance object. I think we can't use this object for scheduling right?
Also, I would like set values from LOV.
Could you please help to find solution.
Thanks
Venkat

Hello Venkat,
Unfortunately the feature of scheculing a webi reports with prompts have been deprecated from the
version 4.0 using the enterprise java sdks.
In XI 3.1, promtsutil class was used for setting prompts while scheduling a webi report using java sdks, which have been deprectaed from 4.0 and there is no replacement for the same in enterprise java sdks.
However, this feature was re-implemented in the new Restful web services and is availble for BI 4.0 SP6 onwards as far as I am aware of.
Please refer to the below document for better understanding.
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir4/en/xi4sp6_webi_restful_ws_en.pdf
Also please refer to the forum http://scn.sap.com/community/restful-sdk for any queries related to Restful webservices sdks.
