Filter promt

CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
Hi,
I have an report containing lots of data from different tables.
I would like to have an promt where the user can select between 3 different "wievs" of the report depending on the choice.
I have tried to create a new object "Draws" in the universe, where I use a
CASE.
     WHEN tableB.coulmB IN ( 'X','Y') THEN "Draw 1"
     WHEN tableB.columnB NOT IN ('X','Y') AND tableA.coulmA != ('Z') THEN "Draw 2"
     WHEN tableA.coulmA = ('Z') THEN "Draw 3"
END
I get the text in the promt, but when I try to run, it sais that I cannot use the object in the query.
Can some one give me a hint, I thing Im doing something wrong here.
Martine

Hi
Is there any more information on the error message you get at all?
Is the prompt based on the CASE object? What does the report do with user-given value to the prompt?

How to show the Dashboard Filter Promts in a BI Publisher report?

Hi,
I have a problem when trying to pass Dashboard Prompt Filters from OBI Analysis to a Publisher Report?
Im working in OBIEE 11g. Where I simply can integrate the BI publisher to show the same result set as shown in the Analysis (Answers) Report.
I have also created dummy tables in my Analysis Report that shows the presentation variables from the prompts and I have also one dummy table that shows a session variable with a String when the DW was updated.
I use these dummy tables to be able to pass the promt values to BI Publisher.
The problem I have is that...
I can see that the Strings I have Prompted in my Analysis Report, but only the default values are shown in my BIP report.
-It works fine with my session variable that I display as a string in a dummy table as well as in the BIP report.
-Is there any other way to show the prompted Filters as information in a BI Publisher report??????
Thanks,
Ken

Is there a reason why you don't use the presentation variables directly to filter the BI publisher report?
If you use the presentation variables, then ensure that the presentation variables associated with the prompt exactly matches the BIP report parameter name. In this case, you can create another datamodel with a sql that selects the parameters. for example: select :param1, :param2 from dual. In that case, the xml will include the parameter values and you should be just able to insert the param fields in the template.
Thanks!

Reuse a promt/filter for a universe in some subqueries

We want to use one defined promt in our BO universe inside 4 subqueries in CR but when we execute the report it apears 4 time, yes the same promt apear 4 times in my promt panel any idea to only appear one promt for 4 subqueries.

Dennis, are you able to link the sub reports to the main reports ? you may need to create some sort of formula in the main report, and use that to let the subs link up. Of course, then you must go to the sub reports and make sure there params are looking at the links you have created. HTH

How can I pass a filter value to another report?

I'm using a filter within a formula of a field. For example: (FILTER("Facts - Actuals Ledger"."Actual" USING ("Time"."Fiscal Quarter" = '2012 Q 2'))-FILTER("Facts - Actuals Ledger"."Actual" USING ("Time"."Fiscal Quarter" = '2012 Q 1')))*-1
What the above is doing is calculating the variance between Q1 and Q2. My issue is when I drill on this value to a more detailed report, it's combining the Q1 and Q2 values, instead of showing the difference. I'm trying to avoid having to hard code the drill report and was wondering if there's any way to pass the calculated FILTER to the other report?
Thanks.

Hi,
I presume that you want to show the the difference between a prompted quarter and its previous quarter?
If so, I would use the Ago Time Series Function to create a new logical measure for prior quarter e.g.
ago("Facts - Actuals Ledger"."Actual", "Time"."Quarter", 1)
Note that the function should contain the time dimension level for quarter. The 1 at the end is the offset e.g. 1 quarter ago. This measure will now return the prior quarter value for whatever quarter is prompted.
Create a prompt for your report for Fiiscal Quarter, and set a filter in the report for the same column with an operator of Is Prompted.
Add the base measure ("Facts - Actuals Ledger"."Actual") and your new Ago measure to the report. When you prompt the report with a quarter, these two columns will show the Actual amount for the promted quarter and the previous quarter respectively. Now all you need to do is subtract one from the other.
Now, when you drill to another report, the filter value of the prompted quarter will be passed across. Apply the same logic to define measures in the drill report, receiving the prompted quarter only.
Note that you can also use Time Series Functions in the column formula when creating the analysis.

Dynamic filter on time characteristics on OLAP SAP BEX query based universe

Dear all,
I'm currently working on the integration between SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0 and SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1 FP 1.5 via integration kit.
I've built an OLAP universe on the top of a BW query based on a multiprovider that contains 10 infocubes.
Everything works fine but I need to create a filter in the OLAP universe that allows to restrict data by current date (e.g. using TIME characteristic of Infocube such as 0CALDAY or 0CALMONTH). From that filter we could start creating other conditions to compare data to different time periods.
I've already tried to use a SAP exit variable in a BW query but this kind of object would restrict query data only by current date and for example it would be impossible to browse data by previous years (to bypass this problem we could use restricted key figures with different offsets but we have too many key figures in the query and the number of restrictions
would rise exponentially).
In a relational DataBase we can do that using a "where condition" based on 'CURRENTDATE' (SQL DB2 syntax).
Now, we need to apply the same logic but translated in MDX syntax.
Is it possible to enter a dynamic filter in the OLAP universe or just fixed or promt values ?
Any advise?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.
M.

Hi Ingo,
1) My question is: "How can I have to manage variable in BEX queries and in the UNIVERSE in order to obtain the maximum flexibility to create reports with measures on actual day (for example) without asking the user to promt a value ?"
I want to use an unique BEX query to define an unique UNIVERSE. On this UNIVERSE I want to create many reports (actual day, previous day, and so on).
If I restrict 0CALDAY with an EXIT variable then shall I be able to create a different restrictions on the same Universe based on 0CALDAY ?
2) Another question is:
Is it possible to insert an XML / MDX filter on the OLAP Universe with dynamic derivation of the system date ?
For example:
Instead of this:
<FILTER KEY="[0FISCYEAR].[LEVEL01].[NAME]">
    <CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal">
        <CONSTANT CAPTION="Z12008"></CONSTANT>
    </CONDITION>
</FILTER>
Is it possible to insert a tag with a dynamic function to derive the system date ?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

Filter problem by Navigate/drill down report 1 to report 2

dear guys,
In OBIEE answers i made a report (1)where we can navigate to report(2) based on type, week or post.
report(2) are in fact more reports with different filters but the user dont know that for example:
to navigate on post, post is prompted in report(2)_1
to navigate on type, type is prompted in report(2)_2
also we can navigate based on type, week and post, in report(2) the 3 columns are promted._3
----in report(1) there is already a filter on type; type is in (1,2,6,7)----
What is my problem? well, when i navigate on post to report(2) he will show all values of type based on the post, OK.....
I dont want to see all values of type but only for type 1,2,6 and 7. like report(1)
When i put the type filter also in report(2)_1 it wont work because it will show only 1 value.....
does anyone know how i can do the right???
kind regards

Hi.
If you are using navigation option from column properties (or you can use GO URL) from one to another request you must know the fact that you are parsing only column value of current row, that's way you see only one type in report(2)_1 (after you updated report(2)_1 with type and post is prompted).
To propagate all type values go to column type in report(2)_1 and in filter choose advanced/filter based on results of another request and include column type from report(1), this is more like subquery.

In the filter scheme driver, how to i get the filename in open() or handleOpen ()

I want to implement filter scheme driver to monitor and prevent file open or read calls based on certain rules. For this I would need file name, user name and application process name. I did not find a way to extract this information. Any hint would be of great help.

If the reset doe not work, connect tot he comouter and try to restore via iTunes.
If the logo is still showing, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour, try the reset and restore again.

AND/OR + some nulls in filter

I'm running into another problem with the AND/OR filter.
The filter for selecting from object "a" and joining to objects b, c & d
is:
(b.theid==2 || c.theid==2 || d.theid==3) && active=="Y"
The SQL that gets generated is:
SELECT <...>
FROM b t1, d t3, a t0, c t2
WHERE ((((t1.theid = 2 AND t0.bid = t1.id) OR (t2.theid = 2 AND t0.cid
= t2.id)) OR (t3.theid = 3 AND t0.did = t3.id)) AND t0.active = 'Y')
This returns a number of instances of the same a object when some of the
OR clauses do not match. For example, if there's no record
with d.theid=3, then it will do a full join on table d.
Do I need to specify something else to flag these as potentially null
fields so that the filter parser adds that check in? The following SQL
query works
ok if I add some checks for NULL on those join fields:
SELECT <...>
FROM b t1, d t3, a t0, c t2
WHERE ((((t1.theid = 2 AND t0.bid = t1.id OR t0.bid IS NULL) OR
(t2.theid = 2 AND t0.cid = t2.id OR t0.cid IS NULL)) OR (t3.theid = 3
AND t0.did = t3.id OR t0.did IS NULL)) AND t0.active = 'Y')
Thanks,

Hi D,
Thank you for your answer.
I have seriously thought about that solution; but I don't think it's a smart way to do it.
If i do it like that, i need to copy the whole table and paste it inside the if statements.
I have two xml elements that I need to make the decisions on. POH_PO_TYPE & CP_RELEASE_NUM.
POH_PO_TYPE can be: STANDARD, RELEASE or BLANKET.
CP_RELEASE_NUM can be: '' or N
If POH_PO_TYPE is RELEASE AND CP_RELEASE_NUM is not ''
OR POH_PO_TYPE is STANDARD
OR POH_PO_TYPE is BLANKET AND CP_RELEASE_NUM is ''
THEN show table (which contains the whole PO).
It shall show the content of the PO in any of these cases.

Jabber Windows - no phone control with LDAP Custom filter

I am unable to control the desktop phone from the Jabber 9.1 Windows client when the CallManager LDAP Directory uses a Custom Filter.
Has anyone else experienced this?
If I set the LDAP Custom Filter to <none> and save, then Desktop Phone control works great.
If I set it to use my custom filter, then trying to enable Desktop control just gives me the spinning circle, then times out to the Red X symbol.
I do not need to resync the LDAP Directory to get the error, just enable/disable the custom filter and save.
In both cases calling from the Computer works great.
This is an On-Prem deployment with full MS-AD LDAP integration.
Versions are:
Jabber - 9.1.0 build 12296
CUPC - 8.6.4.11900-1
CUCM - 8.6.2.22900-9
I upgraded to CUCM 8.6.2 SU2 last night hoping that would fix the problem, but no luck.
The LDAP filter is one I have used in numerous other clusters with no CTI issues.
It allows me to sync to the root directory, but only import active user accounts with an entry in the ipPhone AD attribute:
(&((objectclass=user)(ipPhone=*))(!(objectclass=Computer))(!(UserAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))
Thanks, Randy

Hi Randy,
Have you specified this base filter in jabber-config.xml file? As per Admin Guide:
"In some cases, base filters do not return query results if you specify a closing bracket in your Cisco Jabber for Windows configuration file. For example, this issue might occur if you specify the following base filter: (&(memberOf=CN=UCFilterGroup,OU=DN))
To resolve this issue, remove the closing bracket; for example, (&(memberOf=CN=UCFilterGroup,OU=DN)"
Thanks,

In ALV Report Filter selection should be case sensitive

Dear All,
since one field is case sensitive in database table , i have to fetch that in alv report , but when i am applying filter on that field its is simply fetching data with case description. if its in caps it should fetch caps data but in smaal case report showing no data
Regards,
Pankaj Vashista

Hi,
All text datas are case sensitive.
To make it work perfectly You have to Use the Keyword translate to Upper Case than display
Now filter can work.
Without Transalation to Upper Case filter will not work.

My Mac is bypassing a website filter... How can I stop it?

I am a computer technician at our local high school. Right now, the school has about 800 Dell computers, but we are planning on introducing a few Macintosh labs within the next school year.
Since they lack educational value, the school district's director of technology (my boss) has a web filter (Deep Nine) that blocks myspace, facebook, youtube, proxy sites, and other similar sites.
Myspace is blocked via a keyword filter, any page containing the word "myspace" in the url, or in the document a set number of times, is automatically blocked. The other sites are simply blocked by URL. This filter works perfectly on our Dells, no one can access Myspace, Facebook, Proxies, etc.
I brought my Macbook to work today, plugged it into the network, and logged onto the internet. I noticed instantly that my homepage (Facebook) loaded without being blocked at all. Curious, I tested myspace and youtube, and I could get on youtube fine, but myspace remained blocked.
I checked on the Dell next to me, and all those sites will still being filtered and blocked. Yet my Macbook was able to access them without issue. So it would appear that my Macbook has some mystic ability to bypass the web address filter, but it can not bypass the keyword filter.
I do not have any proxies configured. My Macbook connects to the network (and thus, the internet) the same exact way the other computers within the school do, with the exception of the other computers being within Active Directory.
I need to find out if it is an issue with the Mac or with our Filter. I don't have any other Macs available to test with (Our only other Mac in the school is our DHCP server, and we do not use servers as "lab rat" computers).
Has anyone had any similar issues with this? Or does anyone know of any way I can diagnose this with only one Mac and only one Filter?
Specs: OS 10.5.5, Safari 3.1.2, wired networking.

The DeepNines product works well and does much more than a simple URL filter. The problem lies entirely in your district setup and not in their product. If you're not using a proxy filter, then you have all access and routes designed to head out on typical port 80 traffic to your isp and ultimately the internet hence no proxy configs. The filter is integrated with LDAP accounts at each of your locations to tell it which users and groups are to get filtered at what level. That tie in is what breaks down who goes where. If you introduce new macs onto the network and they have not been configured to work with the DN appliance and are going out unfiltered... then there are 2 problems here. #1 is that you have computers attaching to the network, receiving leases and doing what they want. Use DHCP reservations or a whitelist to control who gets on your network. #2 is that your DeepNines filter has not been set to failover to BLOCK. Instead, it's allowing unknown users to bypass freely simply because it doesn't recognize their group/account. And Orange, stop slamming the company. They are a smaller business that has taken a much better approach to filtering than any other large corporation. Standard database driven URL filters DO NOT WORK....PERIOD! I challenge you to call any district that is running their appliance to get their opinion of it in comparison to any of the other basic url filters out there. I did just that last week and they had absolutely nothing but high praises for the DN product. One even laughed at Websense which they had before switching simply for the lack of ability to block anonymouse proxies.

How to use one Filter Pane to multiple Dataproviders

Hi Experts.
i have checked the threads on this but i did not get correct solution.
we have issue in using single Filter pane web item in WAD for three different dataproviders ( three dataproviders have same free charecteristics and variable) charecteristics in row and keyfigures are different.
thanks in advance.
Regards
Raj.

Hi Gill,
Thanks for your Quick responce.
when we use the single filter pane, filter conditions are working for only first dataprovider (since data binding is to dataprovider 1. in affterted dataproviders i selected dataprovider 2 and 3, but filter pane is not active for other two dataproviders in tabs.
thanks in advance.
Any inputs please....

How to use property of dimension to filter the 2nd dimension in Allocation?

Hi experts,
How do we use a property of one dimension to filter out the members of another dimension in allocation script engine?
eg of two dimensions
1.)Entity dimension - (entity dimension)
memberset:                                        Channeltype (property)
                   Stores
                    Store1                           Boutique
                    Store2                           Kiosk
                    Store3                           Branch
                    Store4                           Concession
                    Store5                           Franchise
                  Nonstore
2.)business Channel dimension - (user define)
   memberset:
               Channeltype
                   Boutique
                   Kiosk
                   Branch
                   Concession
                   Franchise
                   Nochannel
in allocation code
*runallocation
*factor
*dim entity                          what=Nonstore;                where=bas(Stores)
*dim businesschannel        what=nochannel;             where= ? ;
*endallocation
The thing is that when the engine selected store 2 for entity it should select kiosk as its businesschannel.
Please advise.
Thanks as always,
yajepe

Hi,
In this case, I believe, you should have the allocation within a for loop. But you should note that the performance might reduce.
*FOR %VAR% = BAS(STORES)
   *RUNALLOCATION
   *FACTOR
   *DIM ENTITY WHAT = NONSTORE; WHERE = %VAR%
   *DIM BUSINESSCHANNEL WHAT = NOCHANNEL; WHERE = %VAR%.CHANNELTYPE
   *ENDALLOCATION
*NEXT
Hope this helps.

How can I create a filter for an exact set of characters?

Hello! I am setting up a filter to catch messages with GG in the subject. Sometimes this will be at the beginning of the subject (no space at the front) and other times it will be somewhere in the middle. The problem I'm having is that this filter catches any word with "gg" in it, like "logged" or "baggage" (one of my customers has baggage in their name, but their messages should not be caught by this filter). How can I make this work? Thank you for your time!

I think FiltaQuilla might be useful. It adds so-called Regular Expressions to the filter system, where you could use a construction like:
"subject regex" "matches" "/\bgg\b/i"
\b means a word boundary
gg is your two letters
\b is the trailing word boundary
/ and /i mean ignore the case, so it'll find gg, GG, Gg and gG.
There lots of ways of doing this. You could have
[ ]GG[ ]
where it would require a space (explicitly; nothing else!) before and after, and capital letters. \b is usually superior as it matches at the beginning and end of the line, and recognizes regular punctuation in addition to spaces.
