Making dashboard prompts mandatory

Hi All,
I am facing one issue.
I have 4 columns in dashboard prompt.I want to make it mandatory that user should select some value in atleast one prompt column.
Means user can't run the report with all 4 prompt columns as "All Choices" or all 4 blank.
If user do this than popup should appear (like in javascript) saying that "You should select atleast one prompt".
Can we achieve this in OBIEE? PLease let me know if any other information is needed.
Regards,
Vikas

hi,
I have not faced this "problem" .I try to avoid drop down and prefer using multi select(more flexible).
Anyway,you face your problem from one way..why not try an other one???
let the user to choose anything he/she wants,and make the filter in your answer.
Meaning,put some case when in your columns....(by using rcount(1) function)...
1.using the max(rcount(collumnname)) = (the number of your max rows of a column)....then null....the same if
max(rcount(collumnname)) =0 .....
2.put in aswers(there is a choise of none results...-->>display your message).
Otherwise , for your first way of solving,the only way is javascript!
get firebug and which functions,css control your dashboards prompts and go button.Put there your code.
hope i helped....

Dashboard prompts are getting cached and not working as per data level security

Hi,
Version: OBIEE 11.1.1.5 BP2
We have dashboard prompts that have data level security defined in RPD - Content tab of an LTS.
After clearing cache, the dashboard prompt applies the security properly. When another user who has a different security defined, is seeing the same prompt values on clicking the drop down of a prompt and also when they click search prompt popup.
Issue is, for second user, I do not even see cached query in the session logs. Tried applying the DISABLE_CACHE_HIT=1 in the prompt sql results, no luck.
But reports are applying the security correctly, issue is with prompts alone.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Rajesh

Just for others reference: We disabled caching on the table to avoid this issue.

OBIEE(11.1.1.6.8) dashboard prompts "Please Wait" Problem after the automatic upgrade of browser

Hi all,
We have a problem in OBIEE(11.1.1.6.8) dashboard prompts after the upgrade of Chrome browser.. The values of dashboard prompts are not shown to user ( with message "Please wait" ) We had this problem in Internet Explorer 10. So we had announced the users to have minimum browser versions Chrome 12+ , Firefox 17+ , Internet Explorer 9.x as its is declared in certification matrix. Now after upgrade (automatically)in Chrome version 30.0.1599.101 m , we have the same problem and the only working browser remaining is Mozilla Firefox. What should we do to prevent this without upgrade or patch ? Is there any workaround ?
Thanks ...

Hide Reset button in dashboard prompt

Helllo,
There is a issue with the reset button in the dashboard prompt where it clears the selections made, only if apply button is not clicked on. As per oracle that is the intended functionality of 'reset' button, however if you want to clear the selections made in the prompt -- go to clear my selections!
Now this is the senario i am facing, i made a custom link and placed bellow the prompt which would clear the selections made, now i want to hide the 'reset' button or atleast change change the name from reset to something else like 'clear' and change the position of the button.
Could anybody help me how I can achieve this, may be tweak xml of prompt template, i dont know. I think it is ok until the functionality of this button is changed by oracle in next releases to tweak the source xml for this prompt, so that I dont have to do it individually for every prompt.
Thanks!

Refer...http://kalpesh-obiee-eklavya.blogspot.com/2011/06/reset-button-on-prompts-11g.html
I'd say rather than customizing XML here just give a static text message below/above the prompt stating the difference between Reset and Clear Prompts Button Functionality. Users can make use of both as per requirement.
Hope this helps

I am trying to find last updated date of fact table, last updated date of fact table - 7, last updated date of fact table -21 etc. to be populated in a dashboard prompt and for which I thought i could use Oracle rank() over last_updated_date using a sql synatx like this.
select Periods."Current Week Date" from(SELECT Periods."Current Week Date", RANK(Periods."Current Week Date" BY Periods."Current Week Date") ra FROM "Summit 08" where "Current Week Facts By Product"."Current Week Gross Sales" > 0 order by Periods."Current Week Date" desc) where ra = 1 or ra=7 or ra =21
Error that comes up says
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27001] End of input has been reached. Illegal syntax. (HY000)

Hi...
No dual will not work.. here..
try this.. if you want to show only the national, region and city strings..
*select case when 1=0 then any varchar hold column from your subject area else 'National' end from SubjectAreaName*
union all
*select case when 1=0 then any varchar hold column from your subject area else 'Region' end from SubjectAreaName*
union all
*select case when 1=0 then any varchar hold column from your subject area else 'City' end from SubjectAreaName*
here any varchar hold column from your subject area is any column from existing subject area.. which holds character values.. like.. Markets. Region
I think you know where it need to be written.. in Show SQL part of your prompt..
All the best..

How to create a calculation for page/Dashbaord Prompts ...I tried using the sql too but still it gives the error.
Please help
Thankyou

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,

Tecra M5 - Annoying popup messages when fails automatic BT connection to headphones

Hi,
I've been using my Sony Bluetooth headphones at work with my Tecra M5 notebook lately and there's an annoying bunch of message that keeps popping up.
In the bluetooth settings, I've ticked the 'Automatic connection function will be validated' checkbox. This causes the headphones to connect automatically and it works a treat.
But, when I bring my laptop home I no longer have my headphones with me and roughly every 5 minutes my laptop keep displaying these annoying popup messages in the bottom right corner of my screen saying the 'automatic connection failed, please ensure your bluetooth device is powered up etc...'.
Sometimes it gives me a prompt in the bottom right corner of the screen asking me if i'd like to disable the 'automatic connection' feature for the headphones.
Is it possible to disable these annoying popup messages when my headphones aren't detected, without having to disable the 'automatic connection' option? I'd still like to leave the 'automatic connection' feature enabled so when i return to work and turn on my headphones again, it will still connect automatically.
But when I go home, i'd like to still be able to do stuff on my laptop without contstantly being bothered by these popup messsages. If there's some sort of registry setting or something to turn them off, that'd be great.
I've downloaded and installed the Blueooth Stack & Driver Version 6.40
Cheers

Toshiba provided me a beta version of the next Bluetooth stack. It has the option which you are looking for. Just disable the setting in
"Bluetooth Settings->Bluetooth->Options->Audio ->Display message when device is connected."
So just wait until this version is avaiable for download.

Dashboard Prompt Title

Hi,
I am displaying a report in a Dashboard. This report has three Prompts, "From Date", "To Date" and "Department".
Once I select the prompts, the reports displays correctly. However, I would like to Print on top of the page the actual values of for "From Date", "To Date" and "Department".
The format will be something like this:
Report Name:
Date From: 12/01/2008 To 12/01/2008
Department: AnyDepartment
How can I do this?
Thanks,
rkingmdu

Ok,
Here are the two dashboard prompts:
Prompt 1: CHAR column,
formula: CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN "ACTIVITY"."STATUS" ELSE 'Test' END.
Operator: "is equal to / is in".
Control: Drop down list. "All choices" box is checked
Show: SQL Results. "SELECT DISTINCT CAST("ACTIVITY"."DATE SOLD" AS DATE) FROM SUBAREA
Default to: Report Defaults
Set Variable: Presentation Variable - FromDate
Created Prompt2 with the same procedure, except the PV name is ToDate.
In the Report, I display two columns, Product and Date Sold.
The Filter for the report looks like this:
"ACTIVITY"."DATE SOLD" >= '@{FromDate}'
AND "ACTIVITY"."DATE SOLD" <= '@{ToDate}' .
When I open the dashboard, I get the error:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred.

Disable BAPI Error Popup Message

Does anyone know how to disable to the popup message that occurs in VC when a BAPI return an error message (message of type E)? We want to display a default error message to our users, instead of the cryptic ABAP error messages.
Maximum point awarded to the first correct answer.

Method 1:
1. Drag datastore to your storyboard
2. Right Click datastore and select Configure Element
3. Click + button to Add new field
4. Enter Fieldname=SHOWPOPUP, Type=Boolean, Default=false
5. Click on dataservice that is feeding your message input and drag into the datastore
6. Right Click on this new data mapping line and select Confgure Element
7. Click on fx for the SHOWPOPUP field and set the value to TRUE.
8. Right Click your popup Form and select Configure Element
9. Click + button to Add new field
10. Select PUSHBUTTON control and enter field name OK
11. Double Click the OK fiend to open configuration popup
12. Select ACTION tab and change radio button to CUSTOM ACTION and enter name HIDEPOPUP
13. Click on fx on the VISIBILITY CONDITION of the form and select enter formula
14. enter STORE@SHOWPOPUP as the formula
15. Click on the OUT port of the popup form and drag line into the datastore
16. Right Click on this new data mapping line and select Configure Element
17. Click on fx for the SHOWPOPUP field and set the value to FALSE
18. Select the dropdown list for the EVENT NAME at the top of the Data Mapping and select HIDEPOPUP as the event.
19. Select LAYOUT tab and readjust the position of the form over the top of your output table.
NOTE: you may need to click the BRING TO FRONT icon in lower left with your popup form selected to insure that it is not hidden behind other objects.
Method 2 :
There is another option in System action (PROMPT) where u can pass the message that will prompt sucesss or failure message but you have to trigger it by using pushbutton.
Both the method worked for me sure it will work for u also .

NULL and Unspecified in Dashboard prompts after upgrading 10g to 11g OBIEE

Hi All,
We are working on OBI upgradation project from 10g to 11.1.1.6.5. We are facing one issue in Dashboard prompt level. If we can create Dashboard prompt on a column, its giving "NULL", "Unspecified" additionally. But, in 10g there are no extra values.
And the 10g, 11g instances are pointing to the same database and there are no NULL, Unspecified values in Database level.
Through some blogs and articles we found some solutions n are below.
To remove NULL:
-->Go to the Physical Column properties in Physical Layer and Disable the Nullable option by uncheck the box.
-->Go to the Database Features in Physical Layer and disable value to NULL_SUPPORTED.
-->Go to Edit Dashboard Prompt, in Choice List Values drop-down list select SQL Results.
To remove Unspecified:
-->Go to Edit Dashboard Prompt, in Choice List Values drop-down list select SQL Results, then write the SQL statements as columnname is not equals to "Unspecfied" ( In this way we can able to remove Null's also.)
-->Go to Content tab of LTS, in Where clause write an SQL query to restrict Unspecified values.
Note: CHeck with ETL, because if they maintains the Default value is Null when the Datatype is Character and they can maintain 9999 or #### if the datatype is Numeric. And check the Physical query and debug it carefully.
But, we have very big Repository and we have huge no.of Dashboard prompts. So, its not an easy thing to manage by using above solutions. Correct me if there are any mistakes in above.
Any ideas on this...?
Appreciate your help on this..!
Thanks in Advance,
Raghu Nagadasari

Hi Frnds,
As of now, i found the only solution for the above mentioned issue that how to avoid NULL in dashboard prompt level:
Go to the Physical Column properties in Physical Layer and Disable the Nullable option by uncheck the box.
We have done this manually for all tables.
Appreciate if u have any other ideas.!!

Error while creating presentation variable in Dashboard prompts.

Hi Team
I have been going through the guidelines and procedures to create a presentation variable to use it in the dashboard prompt ( mentioned in the previous blogs ) .I followed the below link :
http://oraclebi.blog.com/example-of-presentation-variable-in-obiee/
I am using the following query :
========================================================
SELECT case when 1=0 then "D2 Market"."M04 Region"
else 1
end
FROM "Sample Sales"
UNION ALL
select case when 1=0 then "D2 Market"."M04 Region"
else 2
end
FROM "Sample Sales"
=========================================================
I just wanted to create 2 dummy choices i.e 1 and 2 .But while soing so I am getting erros in the case statements :
=========================================================
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27005] Unresolved column: "D2 Market"."M04 Region". (HY000)

=========================================================.
Please suggest and let me know if there is any other method to have 2 chioces in drop down i.e 1 and 2 using SQL statements while creating the dashboard prompts.
Thanks

Hi Rachit
You answered my doubt.This one really works . Thanks a lot !
But i have one more doubt i.e if have created the Presentation variable in the dashboard prompt and I want to use it in a report
i.e the scenario is If I have created a new column i.e " Revised Salary " in the Presentation Services and want the values to be entered there dynamically upon end users choice. For ex the end user selecrts value of 1 then the report would display an increament of 500 to all the employees in the " Revised Salary " column and if the end user select value of 2 .. the report would display a decrement of 500 in the " Revised salary column".
I am getting the following error :
========================================================================
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 59001] Binary Logical operation is not permitted on VARBINARY, INTEGER operand(s). (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT "D0 Time"."T05 Per Name Year" saw_0, "D2 Market"."M04 Region" saw_1, "D4 Product"."P01 Product" saw_2, "D1 Customer"."C1 Cust Name" saw_3, "F1 Revenue"."1-01 Revenue (Sum All)" saw_4, CASE WHEN 0='1' then "F1 Revenue"."1-01 Revenue (Sum All)" +500 else "F1 Revenue"."1-01 Revenue (Sum All)" - 500 end saw_5 FROM "Sample Sales" ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1, saw_2, saw_3
========================================================================
Please NOTE : The column on which I want to do an increament is : "F1 Revenue"."1-01 Revenue (Sum All)"
