Evaluate function in OBIEE

Hi All,
I tried using Evaluate and Evaluate_Aggr in the column formula of a report.
Evaluate_Aggr() is erroring saying the dimension Work Order is incorrectlly defines logical Table Source Mapping for a dimension of Work Order. If I revoke the implicit fact coniguration on this Subject Area which I have, the report executes as expected. But this implicit configuration is required in my scenario for other reports to work.
Using Evaluate() works perfectly.
Can anyone help me in fixing this?
Shld I add any other configuration in the RPD to resolve this issue?
Thanks

Problem in passing varchar2 parameter to Evaluate function in OBIEE

Hi there,
This is regarding an issue while passing parameter in EVALUATE function.
I have to call a function with varchar parameters. parameter are nothing but my table column values.
I've created session variables which holds value from my table column values.
for eg:
EVALUATE('REP1_FIRSTMONTH_F(%1)' AS CHARACTER ( 30 ), VALUEOF (NQ_SESSION."month"))
so whenever i call function using EVALUATE in OBIEE. i hve to pass ' ' (single quotes) for my varchar values. without this , i'm facing error stating :
*State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 59015] The requested column PERIOD0 does not exist in this table. (HY000)*
If i'll give parameter within single quotes in my dashboard prompt. it is working fine, but fails without the quotes.
kindly help me in solving this issue.
Thanks - Vijay
NOTE: parameter are from column values.

Hi
Anyone has any input for the above issue??. Please share.

Syntax for Evaluate function in OBIEE

Hi
I have browsed through the docs but couldn't find syntax for Evaluate function. Could someone pass me the full syntax and if possible a helpful example against essbase.
Thanks

Hi
definitely
syntax:- EVAULATE('your db function(%1,%2)', parameter list)
here %1 and %2 are the no.of parameters (columns or may constant values) to be passed for the db-function
if you have 3 parameters then you need to use %3 also.. means the columns to be passed.
following exapmples are for ORACLE db,
ex1: EVALUATE('upper(%1)', 'kishore kumar') gives the result as -> KISHORE KUMAR
ex2: EVALUATE('upper(%1)', 'Markets.Region') here Markets.Region is column.
you also can call the user-defined functions through evaulate
EVALUATE('functioname(%1,%2), column1, column2)
the above function has 2 parameters to be inputted
Thanks & Regards

EVALUATE Function Obiee

Hi!
My database is Essbase. I need to choose members of different hierarchies. I get the following formula.
EVALUATE ('Intersect (% 1.dimension.members, {[Account1], [Account2]}) "," Account "." Gen1, Account ")
I see different accounts of different hierarchies.
The problem is that members Account1, Account2 are Identifiers and want to see the descriptions.
Is there any way to show IDs descriptions choosing their IDs in the formula EVALUATE?
Thanks!!

Best practices on using EVALUATE functions

hi, experts,
I wanna know what is the best practices on using EVALUATE functions on obiee (calling oracle user defined functions)
I found that if I use evaluate functions in Answers,
obiee will construct a sql behind and then execute.
sometimes, obiee contructs some unexpected sqls, and returns errors.
so, is it better to use EVALUATE functions in logical columns ?
thanks

EVALUATE('DB_Function(%1)' as returntype, {Comma separated Expression})
even when used in Logical columns, its gonna fire the same sql.

Evaluate function

How can we achieve this below using EVALUATE function in obiee. I can use cast to do this but i need to use EVALUATE for my purpose.Can someone please throw light on this.

Srini,
Here is my issue
I want to implement below function in obiee.It takes the month from the column and appends the current year .so basically if the column has the value 01/12/12.It becomes 01/12/13.P_year is a current year variable.I am having issues in writing the above code in obiee.I am using the below in obiee which is giving the below error.
SQL FUNCTION: to_date(to_char(Date_Column)||'-'||:current_year,'MM-YY')
OBIEE:CAST(CAST(MONTH("date_column") AS CHAR) ||'-'||CAST(VALUEOF("current") AS CHAR)as date)

Please help were i am doing wrong.This is the reaon i want to do this using EVALUATE function.

Can Evaluate function return object type

Hi
Evaluate function can be used to call db functions in OBIEE. I have a function which returns an object ( pl/sql table).
Created a simple report in Oracle Answers and added following in one of the columns
evaluate( 'get_ccid(%1)' as t_ccid , @{p_request})
When I try to run this in Oracle answers, getting syntax error. If same function returns varchar or number it works well.

evaluate( 'get_ccid(%1)' as t_ccid , @{p_request})Eakta, You syntax seems to be wrong here. What type of data your presentation variable contains here ?? You are saying its working fine with Number datatype..so can you try..somthing like below with some default value..
EVALUATE('get_ccid(%1)',@{p_request}{2})
OR
EVALUATE('get_ccid(%1)' as varchar(250),@{p_request}{ABC})
Also, refer

Evaluate function problem

I have a problem with EVALUATE function in OBIEE.
I passed two parameters. Number is numeric and Name is varchar.
Evaluate('DWH.PKG_ITEM_FUNCTION.PS_LAW(%1,%2)', "Book"."Item"."Number", "Book"."Item"."Name" )
I get the following error:
[nQSError: 22027] Union of non-compatible types.
How can I solve this?
Many thanks in advance.

hi stanisa,
It is a bug in 10g,here it goes
--> While using Evaluate function, common errors like “Union of non-compatible types. (HY000)”.
I believe this is a bug in the Evaluate function implementation. One must cast all the arguments to the same data type before passing them as arguments.

Evaluate function not working in obiee 11.1.1.7

Hi all,
I have completed In-place upgrade from obiee 11.1.1.5 to 11.1.1.7.
After this I am getting an error while running reports,which is created by using evaluate function.
[nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. EVALUATE_SUPPORT_LEVEL inside NQSConfig.INI is not set to support EVALUATE
In my NQSconfig.ini I coundnt find EVALUATE_SUPPORT_LEVEL. So I have added below content in NQSConfig.ini file
# EVALUATE_SUPPORT_LEVEL:
# 1: evaluate is supported for users with manageRepositories permssion
# 2: evaluate is supported for any user.
# other: evaluate is not supported if the value is anything else.
EVALUATE_SUPPORT_LEVEL = 2;
After that I restarted BI services. But still I am facing same error.
Guide me regarding this.
Thanks in advance.

Are you using any parameter like % or / , If you are using,Then it is a bug in 11.1.1.7,Check the below URL for more info.

OBIEE 11g EVALUATE function working fine with Administrator but

Hi,
We have a report with EVALUATE function , which is working fine with Administrator User but when we run for other users its giving following error.
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.

(HY000)
Is there any parameters that we have to set for the user level to use Evaluate ?
Thanks,

You can create a compound key of Cat + SubCat (concatenation in a logical column is a quick win) which will render the SubCats unique and assign that as the logical level key:
SubCat:
A-Basic
A-Value Add
A-High
B-Basic

Can we use Evaluate function in Prompt

Hi all
Can we use Evaluate Function in Dashboard Prompt?
I need some exposure on how to use it.
I am working on a HRMS-OLTP Source where I need to work with Oracle Functions from OBIEE.
IF somebody can tell me that, It will be a favour for me....

Hi All,
Here's an example of how to use evaluate. This use calls the Oracle TO_DATE function: EVALUATE('TO_DATE(%1,%2)' as DATE, '03/03/2009', 'MM/DD/YYYY')
Here's how it works: EVALUATE( '<FUNC>' AS <DATATYPE>, VALUE1,VALUE2,etc)
FUNC) Is the syntax for the function you are calling. Any parameters have to be replaced by %<number>, where number refers to the order in which you specify your parameters.
DATATYPE) The datatype that the function will evaluate to. In this case, DATE.
VALUE1) The latter part of the formula is a comma separated list of all the parameters used in the function. In this case, it's the date I want to cast
VALUE2) This is the second parameter. You need as many as you referenced in your function. In this case, it's the date format.
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!

How to Oracle Database Function in OBIEE Administration Tool

Hi All,
I want to use a Oracle Database Function in as a column in OBIEE (BM, Presentation Model). Can anybody has done this inOBIEE. Any pointers to this is much appreicated.
Thanks,

Hi user7417334,
You cannot use any formulas in the presentation layer (not that I know of). But you can definitely use oracle database functions in the BMM layer.
You want to use the EVALUATE function. It works like this:
e.x. EVALUATE( 'TO_DATE(%1,%2)' AS DATE, '12/31/2009', 'MM/DD/YYYY')
Generic Version: EVALUATE( '<FUNC>' AS <DATATYPE>, VALUE1,VALUE2,etc)
FUNC) Is the syntax for the function you are calling. Any parameters have to be replaced by %<number>, where number refers to the order in which you specify your parameters.
DATATYPE) The datatype that the function will evaluate to. In this case, DATE.
VALUE1) The latter part of the formula is a comma separated list of all the parameters used in the function. In this case, it's the date I want to cast
VALUE2) This is the second parameter. You need as many as you referenced in your function. In this case, it's the date format.

Equivalent of to_date function in Ms SQL and using it in Evaluate function

Hi,
I am trying to find out a function in MS SQL which is equivalent to to_date function in oracle. Please find below the advanced filter i am trying to use in OBIEE.
Evaluate('to_date(%1,%2)' as date ,SUBSTRING(TIMES.CALENDAR_MONTH_NAME FROM 1 FOR 3)||'-'||cast(TIMES.CALENDAR_YEAR as char(4)),'MON-YYYY')>=Evaluate('to_date(%1,%2)' as date,'@{pv_mth}'||'@{pv_yr}','MON-YYYY') and Evaluate('to_date(%1,%2)' as date ,SUBSTRING(TIMES.CALENDAR_MONTH_NAME FROM 1 FOR 3)||'-'||cast(TIMES.CALENDAR_YEAR as char(4)),'MON-YYYY') <=timestampadd(sql_tsi_month,4,Evaluate('to_date(%1,%2)' as date,'@{pv_mth}'||'@{pv_yr}','MON-YYYY'))
The statement above works fines with oracle DB with to_date function. The same statement throws an error with MS SQL since to_date is not a built in function.
With MS SQL I tried with CAST, not sure how to pass parameters %1 and %2.
Please help me how to use Evaluate function and passing parameters along with to_date funtion in MS SQL.
Regards!
RR

Hi,
please refer to this thread for useful information on using to_char and to_date functions of oracle in MS SQL server:
