Filter Page Prompts based on Dashboard Prompts Presentation Var

Hey, No one has faced this issue? Can I get some inputs please?
Hi,
I have a requirement where in I need to filter the multi-select values in the page prompt, based on the presentation variable that is set by dashboard prompt. Oracle said that its a bug,
that once a presentation variable is set, we can't use that in SQL, when using multi select. But, I am wondering if anyone has some work around solution for this?
TO be more clear, here is the explanation.
I have a dashboard prompt that is selected initially in a page, which sets a presentation variable. Now, in another page, I want to use a multi-select prompt, which take the SQl values that filters based on the presentation variable set initially. But, this is not working. I am not able to filter values when I use the SQl like, "select .. from ..where var = presentation_var."
If anyone has any workarounds, thats appreciated.
Thanks.

Sorry, no such functionality, at least not yet.
Build two dashboards, one for the business users and one for the technical users. Then build a third "cover page" dashboard with two links using the Link or Image object. One link will say "Business Users" the other "Technical Users" and the links will take them to their own dashboard with just the prompts that concern them.
If you want to bypass the "cover page" idea, you can use Portal Path to direct all business users to the "business" dashboard and the technical staff to the "technical" dashboard based on their login.

Calculation based on Dashboard prompt

Hi,
How to calculate numerical values based on dashboard prompt values
Ex if we select 'N' from prompt it should divide numerical value in the request by some other measure else default value.
Thanks
Suresh

Hi...
If your question is that, solution provided by naresh, then... small correction (not exactly correction... but my view...)
*CASE WHEN upper('@{VAR}')='N' THEN your measure ELSE '@{VAR}{ +default value+ }' END*
upper function is used.. if your prompt has editbox control and enter small n or capital.... don't worry... as it converts to upper and checking for capital N only...
Here VAR is presentation variable name you have given...
'@{VAR}{ +default value+ }' is variable name with the default value i.e. there in your dashboard prompt if you have specified...
Ex: *'{@var_region}{CENTRAL REGION}'*
Naresh post is.. really helpful to you... i hope...
Thanks & Regards

Change Image based on dashboard prompt

Hello
Im using OBIEE 11G 11.1.1.5
I need to show on a dashboard, the logo (Image) of the company selected on a dashboard prompt. I have 5 companies and each has its own logo. Only one company can be selected.
Is there a way to acomplish that ?
Thanks

Hi Andres,
We can make use of the 'Conditional display of sections in dashboard based on analysis results'. One option certainly is to write different analysis (narrative view or static text) with your company logs and embedding them in different sections of their corresponding reports in dashboards. These sections need to be conditionally displayed based on the dashboard prompt chosen. You can create analysis, each to read the presentation variable (associated with the prompt) and display a record only if a particular company is chosen. (Ex: Create an analysis with one column as @{variables.CompanyPrompt}. Create a filter on it like 'is equal to 'Oracle'. So this analysis, would display a record only if the presentation variable has the value 'Oracle').
I would keep you posted if I hit at any other much efficient way.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

Column hiding based on Dashboard Prompt value in OBIEE 10g

Hi,
Can you please let me know, whether there is any possibility of "hiding the column based on the value selected in the Dashboard Prompt".
Your suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Siva

Hi,
Simple way to solve it.
Steps
1.) set presentation variable for each columns of your dashboard prompt
2.) edit your analysis of table/pivot view ---> colums formate header in this place just keep it your presentation variable values like below
E.x
@{ccy}
Then save it and then test out

Dashboard problem-Filtes not working as per dashboard prompt

I have created one dashboard with prompt but the prompts are not working as selected values as per prompt are not getting filtered out
e.g. one of the prompt is "sales stage" if eventhough i select a particular sales stage it shows all results with no data filtering.
Please help
Edited by: user1074008 on Nov 1, 2010 2:25 AM

Hi,
In the detailed report you have to prompt the fields which you have added in the dashboard prompt(i.e. Click on edit filter option set the operator to "Is Propmted"), then only it will work.

Prompt Preview and Dashboard prompt Date Format.

Hi,
When seen in its preview, a Dashboard prompt based on Date data type is shown using format 'mm/dd/yyyy' which is the expected format. However, when seen on a dashboard page, the prompt's format becomes 'yyyy/mm/dd'.
Does anyone have idea how to fix this or what could be the reason?
If you need more information, please let me know.
Thanks,
Manoj.

In the prompt window there was a little clock icon symbol. I first had to go to the BI admiistration in the physical and change (the specific column/field) from a timestamp to date. We also needed to a default date to be applied to our application so I created a global variable and made it a string so that it would appear in the application in the format like you stated in your thread: Select to_char(sysdate,'mm/dd/yyyy') from dual. But overall I think the real trick was changing the physical from a timestamp to date.

How to populate LOV of one prompt based on other prompts w/o cascade

Hello All,
Scenario- There are three prompts in my report.
Source_Prompt1, Source_Prompt2 and Target_Prompt.
There is no direct reletion between Source_Prompt1 and Source_Prompt2.
And user wants Target_Prompt data on selection of these source_prompts.
Is there any way to populate target prompt on selection of source prompt.
Note- This can be implemented by applying cascading between all three prompts fields.
However user dosent want Cascading between source prompts.?
is there any other method except cascading prompt to populate LOV of one prompt based on selection of other prompt values?
Your insights are most welcome.
Amit

I believe the only way to populate LOVs is directly from a database. E.g.; you can not populate it "manually". In your case, you may have to create your own prompt forms and use those.

Using presentation variable in a dashboard prompt

Hi All,
Can we use a presentation variable set in 1 dashboard prompt in another dashboard prompt to filter the values shown in the prompt based on the value selected in the first prompt?
I am using SQL results in the second prompt.So, Iam not able to constrain the results. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Steps:
1. 1st Dashboard prompt set Presentation Variable name say pdashboardprompt1
2. In 2nd Dashboard prompt set Presentation Variable name say pdashboardprompt2
In SHOW SQL results for 2nd Dashboard prompt. Select constraint
SELECT Table1.Column1 FROM "SA" WHERE Table1.Column2 = '@{pdashboardprompt1}'

Unexpected behavior with dashboard prompts set to "scope = page". Help

Hello,
I've got three dashboard pages that have a prompt with start/end dates set using ST_DT and END_DT presentation variables. Each of those pages has a report with a column that drills to the same 4th page, a detail report. Each page has it's dashboard prompt scope set to "Page."
I can switch freely between the first three tabs and enter different dates, run the reports, and the prompt dates aren't overwriting each other between tabs. However, if i drill to the detail page from any of those reports and then switch back, the start/end dates prompts are suddenly being overwritten.
Now i know we can prevent this at the report level by using "protect filter," but how does one protect a prompt? To further explain, all three summary pages use the same presentation variables, ST_DT and END_DT. However these presentation variables are not used on the detail page, so i'm not sure why drilling there suddenly breaks the prompt scope and sets it to behave like "Dashboard."

Update,
I was using ST_DT and END_DT as the presentation variables for each tab. I tried giving them unique names on each tab and they're still getting set if I drill to the detail tab. Since prompts are set to scope I'd expect them to not be set by the detail tab.

Prompting issues on dashboard pages

I have a 3 page dashboard that conform to a form of hierarchy
-- Page one summarises the highest level of date by month (based on a dashboard prompt)
-- Page two shows the middle level of data based on a prompt from Page one
-- Page three shows the lowest level of data based on a prompt from Page two
For example:
Page 1 shows Car sales by Maker (Ford, Chrysler VW etc), clicking on one of these will take you to Page 2 which shows the sales per Model (Focus, Fusion, Taurus etc) and clicking on one of these will take you to Page 3 which shows the sales by Package (S, SE, SES, SEL etc).
This all seems to work fine, the date selected on Page 1 is passed to the other pages. The problem arises when I go back to Page 1 after drilling-down to either Page 2 or 3. Returning to Page 1 after this means that the chart & table there only shows data for the Maker for the Model and Package selected on Pages 2 & 3.
The only prompted field on Page 1 is the "month" field that takes its prompt from the dashboard prompt, I can't see why this is picking up selections from the drill-down & not just returning the full data set. Can anyone help?

Hmmm, further Googling suggests it may be an issue with Dashboard Page State Persistence in config.xml. Has anyone else come across this?

Hi John
They're column based & each page has a seperate report. I hadn't protected the filters on the top level report - I have now & that seems to have sorted it.
Thank you, that was really bugging me. We're still in UAT & all these little niggles that aren't in the manuials are cropping up.

How to get the value of multi-select in the Dashboard Prompt

I have a multi-select prompt in the Dashboard Prompt, what I want is, how do I know that user has choose one value,
for examle, for some reasons, if user didn't choose any value, then I will set one column in answer as "customer office" , if user choose one value, then the column in answer will be "customer name".
any comments, thanks.

Hi,
first define the presentation variable for the required column prompt. ex: PV
Then in report level set the filter for that column = @{PV}{customer office}. here u have to give default value as "customer office", so by default the report in dashboard will show customer office even though the user does not select any value from dashboard prompt.
Mark If Helpful/correct.
Thanks.

Problem while passing parameters for dashboard prompts in URL

Hi,
We have created a dashboard on OBI which has some dashboard prompts. We have a requirement that we shall open the dashboard from an external application. We are doing this by invoking an URL. We want the dashboard to turn with prompts already being applied.
I was trying to open the dashboard with the following URL
http://<servername:port>/analytics/saw.dll?Go&PortalPath=/shared/Procurement%20and%20Spend/_portal/Supplier%20Performance&Page=Overview
But when I use the above Go URL the dashboard is not coming up. It shows the following error
No Columns
The request cannot be performed because it contains no columns.
When I use the following URL(which has the keyword 'Dashboard' not 'Go') the Dashboard is coming up fine
http://<servername:port>/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=/shared/Procurement%20and%20Spend/_portal/Supplier%20Performance&Page=Overview
There are dashboard prompt defined in dashboard. When I try to send the filter value via URL(given below) it is not working. I just see the Dashboard coming up.
http://<servername:port>/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&NQUser=Administrator&NQPassword=SADMIN&PortalPath=/shared/Procurement%20and%20Spend/_portal/Supplier%20Performance&Page=Overview&P0=1&P1=eq&P2=Supplier."Supplier%20Name"&P3=1+AccessMicron
when we use the keyword Dashboard in the URL , can we pass the parameter for the dashboard proimpt ..? If we can do that .. how to do that ..? Is it the same manner that we do for Go URL. ..?
Please let me know if you need any more information on this.
Thanks in advance for your time,
Raj Kumar
Edited by: Raja Kumar on Jan 22, 2010 3:29 AM

Hi Raj,
Raghu is correct, you need the Action=Navigate to make prompts work, otherwise you get move to the target dashboard without prompts.
I think you figured it out your self, but the ?Go is for Answer Requests and ?Dashboard is for navigating to dashboards.
I would also recommend using col1="COLUMN_NAME" and val1=value syntax instead of the P0,P1, etc, etc. It's a little easier to read and implement.
Try this:
http://<servername:port>/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&Action=Navigate&NQUser=Administrator&NQPassword=SADMIN&PortalPath=/shared/Procurement%20and%20Spend/_portal/Supplier%20Performance&Page=Overview&col1=%22Supplier%22.%22Supplier%20Name%22&val1=1+AccessMicron
Good luck!
Best regards,

Direct Database Request with Dashboard Prompt LOV Source

I have complex Direct Database Request query having Dashboard Prompt. In Dashboard prompt I want to have LOV. But to create the DPrompt having LOV, I must have the table/column in Subject Area. How I can have table in RPD not connected or joined with any table in RPD?
The idea is to do the reporting based on direct query with Prompt/LOV but do not want to include the prompt source table with other my main logical model which is used for other purpose.

Hi Kishore
Thanks for the reply but it is little less clear because I already have working Dashboard level prompt where
1. Instead of LOV I type the value, use the Presentation Variable as Set Variable on Dashboard Prompt, say pDepartment
2. Created direct database rqeuest query having where condition .. WHERE Department= '@{pDepartment}'
And the above Dashboard works great. Only problem is that I want to have LOV for Department for which I need to have the respective table/column in RPD
I liked your idea about BI publisher but how do you really deploy the BI Publisher?
Thanks

Issue with siebel 7.5 dashboard prompt and grandtotals

Hi Group
We are having a weird issue on a dashboard page in 7.5 version.On our dashboard there is report with columns like area,area values and area values column is being filtered with a dashboard prompt.
The dashboard prompt is working fine by applying the selected filter value but we are doing subtotals by area and grand total at the end.The subtotal and grandtotal are not changing with the filter value selected.
Say we want to see area only having area values >=40000 the report is showing right areas applying this filter to areavalues,but the subtotals and grand totals still showing up for all areas and not for selected areas as per the filter.But when we run this report individually in Answers we are getting right subtotals and grandtotals by applying filters.
I know description may not be very clear for you guys but can give you any kind of clarification you want in detail.
I believe this is somekind of bug in this version.
Please let me know.
Thanks a lot.

Quit the applications that you are not using. Monitor RAM usage with your Activity Monitor. Add more RAM, 6 Gigs is the max on your model.
When your Mac runs out of RAM, it starts using swap files on your hard drive, shown as page outs in Activity monitor. Your hard drive's speed performance will be noticeably slower than your RAM's speed.
Activity Monitor will also allow you to identify which apps are using the most RAM. The app is in your Application's Utilities folder.
Plus, Mid 2007 iMacs's (iMac 7.1) can run Mavericks, it's free, and will make better use of your RAM than Lion, IMHO.
P.S., If you actually have an iMac 6.1, it's a Late 2006 iMac and is limited to Lion.
