Drilling down from OmniPortlet chart to detailed chart in same OmniPortlet?

I am trying to use OmniPortlets to create a dashboard of charts showing different metrics.
I want to be able to drill into each chart to get a more detailed chart in the SAME OmniPortlet frame with all the other charts being unchanged. So if I have 3 OmniPortlet charts C1, C2, C3 in the same page, I want to be able to click on C1 and to be able to drill into C1 (details), C2 and C3.
I am trying to do this through OmniPortlet events, parameters and page parameters.
1) I've defined a OmniPortlet Param1 to parameterize the source of data - So my source URL is http://<URL-base>/##Param1##
2) I then defined a Page Parameter PP1 that is associated with Param1 and set a default value for this (to make sure ##Param1## gets set for the top level chart). I set this default value in the OmniPortlet Parameters page - (otherwise, the ##Param1## seems to map to a null sting despite the Page Parameter PP1's default value)
3) Finally, I defined an OmniPortlet event that gets fired when I click on the chart. The Event sets as one of its parameters, the data source that has the drilldown data. This column name is PP1.
So, the chart should first display with the data source URL being initialized from the Page Parameter. When I click on the chart, the Event should set up a new parameterized value in the data source so that next chart with drill down data is shown after a page refresh.
The reality is different from this theory. When I click on the chart, for some reason, the value of Param1 for refreshed Omniportlet display seems to be getting blanked out. So my chart definition gets messed up since the data source is now invalid. The page however continues displaying the original (pre-drill) chart from the cache.
2)
I don't know whether this problem is because of an improper use of the Page Parameters and OmniPortlet events or whether this is because I seem to be forced to set Param1's default value (maybe this is overriding my data source URL even in the drill down chart).
There seem to be some examples of the chart click causing another chart to refresh. These docs don't have a lot of detail, plus I want the SAME OmniPortlet to show the drill down chart.
Has anybody done this? Any pointers would be appreciated..

Hi Sebastian,
You cannot have drill downs from different charts to the same target.
As per your scenario you have 3 column charts with warehouses displaying their respective 3 KPI's values. I believe you would have created a series each for available warehouses. If you have selected drill down on load for all the column charts with one single target then at load all the three column charts will try to place the destination of their selected series(based on warehouse selected) to the same target.
And also as you mentioned when the user tries to select the same chart again the target doesn't change, the reason is the same as all the charts are trying to put the destination of the series in the same cell.
Instead of doing it this way, what you could do is to name the series of all column charts the same and have the series name put into one cell. Then based on this series name you can lookup the data for that warehouse and display it in the line chart.
Here again the user has to select the same warehouse in all the three column charts else it wont work.
Hope this was useful =]
Thanks & Regards

How to drill down from summary report to detail report using RRI?

Dear all:
A problem about RRI. Please help me!
1.I create a BEx query 'Q1' to show summary data.
2.I create a BEx query 'Q2' to show detail data.
3.In Q1, all the products are shown each row.
       The 1st coulmn is 'Balance in the begin', it shows how many customer claim cases are opened before this week.
       The 2nd coulmn is 'New', it shows how many customer claim cases are initalized in this week.
       The 3rd coulmn is 'Close', it shows how many customer claim cases are closed in this week.
       The 4th coulmn is 'Balance', it shows how many customer claim cases are still opened now. And this column is calculated by this fomula as follow:
         'Balance in the begin' + 'New' - 'Close'
   4.In Q2, it lists each customer claim case. Include ClaimNo, Sold-To Party, ProductNo...
   5. I set Q1 as sender, Q2 as receiver.
   6. If I focus on the value of 'New' or 'Close' and then go to 'Q2', the correspond detail calim information in 'Q2'. But it is fail if I focus on the value 'Balance'.
   Why?
Thanks,
Jolin

I don't know if you can use the hyperlink to call a subreport but the following has worked for me in Crystal 10:
1. In your main report create a group on the field you want to pass to the subreport.
2. In the Group Footer, use the "Insert Section below" menu command so that you have a Group Footer 1a and a Group Footer 1b.
3. Put your table fields in the Group Footer 1b section (this would be similar to your Details data).
4. Put the sub report in the Group Footer 1a section. Set up the links to the subreport from a table field in your main report.
5. Right-click on the sub-report, select "Format Sub-report". Click on the "x-2" button to the right of the Suppress option and enter "DrillDownGroupLevel = 0" in the "Formula Workshop-Formula Format Editor-Suppress" window and save it.
When you double-click on your data field (i.e. the field in Group footer 1b) it should drill-down and run your subreport.

Drill-Down from several Charts to Same Target

Hi,
we have built a dashboard with 3 (soon to be 6) column charts and one line chart below. The colum charts represent 6 KPIs aggregated for a year for different warehouses. Each warehouse is a specific series (because we want them to have a individual colors). When the user clicks on a warehouse in one of the column charts, we want the line chart above to show the
For this purpose, we have all column charts store drill-down values to the same two cells:
- One cell stores the series name (warehouse selected)
- One cell stores the name of the clicked line chart (we use a single cell with the chart name as source for the first series of each chart. After the first series is selected as the default drill-down, this source and destination seems to be used for every series selected, which might be a bug)
Our problem is, all queries for the charts are loaded at startup. The default drill-downs for all charts are done, and we have a random chart in the drill-down destination. If the user clicks the same chart again, we do not notice this as the value of our target cell does not change. We have tried several solutions for this, but nothing is really satisfactory.
Does any of you have an idea, or a similar dashboard maybe, where the drill-down of several charts (preferably with several series per chart) is stored into a single target chart?
Thanks & Regards,
Sebastian

Error Message appears when drilling down from a report.

Hi,
I am using CR XI R2.
I have an rpt file that displays a chart from a sub report.
I tested it on the CR designer and report viewer - works ok.
When I display this report in my .Net application, I get an error message when drilling down from this chart : "The Report Application Server failed"
When looking at the log files I see this error message:
4 19 13:11:14.770 5336 5564 (\servers\ras\dtsagent\reporthandler.cpp:11622): CReportHandler::buildReportViewerError: CSResultException thrown. ErrorSrc:"CRPE" FileName:"\servers\ras\dtsagent\reporthandler.cpp" LineNum:11618 ErrorCode:997 ErrorMsg:"" DetailedErrorMsg:""
This is a Viewer error - but when drilling down from the Report Viewer I don't get this exception.
Does anyone know what this mean?

Too strange and my require a phone support case;
http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/DisplayProductByTypePage&parentCategoryID=&categoryID=11522300
Three ideas:
1) Install CR designer on one of the boxes where this does not work and try to run the report there
2) Add a line to your code and save out the report just after your database logon once ( .saveAs). try to run this report in the CR designer.
3) Use the [modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] utility to compare the runtime - both CR and db client between computers that work and those that do not.

Drill down from the financial reports

When generating a P&L or Balance sheet, it is not possible to view what transaction the amount is made of. you have to either generate a general ledger report or have to chart of account window open at the same time. Simple programs like quickbooks have the functionality to do drill down from any report. we have multiple customers for whom this situation is very aggravating.
We hope you can find a solution or make this part of a new release.
Thank you

Drill down from a line graph? Make the entire graph click-able?

Guys, i can drill down from other types of charts except a line chart.
Is there anything that is special about the line chart?
Also, can i make the entire graph click-able? So, instead of clicking on a bar to trigger a linked report, can the whole chart be a link basically?
Thanks for your help

There is not special with the line graph..... Just click on the data symbol to drill or navigate. These settings can be found under the "additional Charting Option" button.

Cannot drill down from 2nd lowest level to lowest level of hierarchy

In my item master hierarchy, I cannot drill down from the 2nd lowest level (Product Class) to the lowest level (Item Detail).
When I add another level between these 2 levels, then I can drill down from Product Class to this new level, but I cannot drill down from this new level to the lowest level.
Also, if I set the preferred drill path at any level to drill down to the lowest level, it instead drills down to next level down intead of of drilling to the lowest level.
Any thoughts as to why I would not be able to drill to the lowest level of this hierarchy?
Thanks,
Travis

OK, next check, any security in place on the presentation columns which would make the lowest level column unavailable to the user account?
Are you running the report as Administrator?

DRILL DOWN FROM GL INTO AP, AR, PO & INV SUBLEDGERS FROM ORACLE DISCOVERER

Hi,
One of the key functionality , We are looking for ability to query / Drill down from GL into AP, AR, PO & Inv Subledgers from Oracle Discoverer in the Oracle Applications. We are trying to create workbook that will allow users to see summary of GL Balances, then the ability to retrieve transaction details from subledgers via GL. It looks like this is not possible using seeded folders from seeded business area in the applications EUL. It looks like we need to create custom folders to get these sort of reports.
Can this be done using seeded EUL? If yes, Can you please let me know the process and steps involved.
Incase of custom folders, Could you please let me know what are the main tables/views involved for retrieving transactional detail from subledgers like AP, AR, PO & INv via a GL query and relations from the custom folders to Journal Entries and Journal Lines folders.
I highly appreciate your advice on this subject. if anyone has Business Areas and worksheets already constructed that they could send me this would be most welcomed.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Regards,
Venkanna

Hi
With my little knowledge in Discoverer, I feel this is highly cumbersome process from the EUL to create drilldown to Subledgers using Discoverer 4i.You may have to create and Link several tables and views to get the same.
The Standard drilldown functionality in Oracle works with GL_SL_LINK_ID and Reference columns populated in GL_JE_HEADERS and GL_JE LINES to link the GL Journals to Supplier Payment, Invoice, Inventory Receipt to PO and similarly for other modules.
Hope this helps

Drill Down functionality not Availible on Column Chart Bars

Hi Guys,
I have about 10 Webi 4.0 reports which are all column charts and are all made with drill down functionality enabled on them.
The issue we are facing is that we need all the reports have drill down functionality available on the column bars and axis values (ex. "drill down to date" is available when mousing over the bars and axis values.)
However, reports which have variable measures on them do not have drill down functionality available on the actual column bar in the chart, drill down is only available when mousing over the axis values. Now, I created the variable measure on the universe level as an object to check if having the object pulled into the report instead of a variable would enable the drill down function on the chart but this did not work either, still having the same issue
Its important for us to have the consistency of the functionality being available on the bars and axis because it is more user friendly.
If anyone has ever faced this issue I'd really appreciate your input on how this can be fixed.
Thanks in advance!
