Filter view for combined request

Hello!
We have 12 requests combined to the single Answer's request using UNION. Each of these 12 requests has a filter. But when we try to display the filter view for the combined request, it says "Request contains no filters". Any ideas how to display the big "combined" filter?
Thank you!

I am assuming that the columns in each of your 12 individual queries are the same and you just have different combinations of filters to produce your final query. If so, try building this using one query and using the OR operand for each set of criteria that corresponds to the 12 different sets of filters. This way the filters will show up in Filter View.
If the columns in the 12 queries are simply the same datatype (minimum requirement), but different, then how would the user know which filter set corresponds to which set of columns since the "final" query will have one name for each column? It would be confusing at best. The only thing I can think of is having 13 queries, 12 individual ones and the one "combined query."
In your dashboard, display the "combined query" in the Compound Layout view in the usual manner. Underneath that query in the design mode of your dashboard. Add the 12 individual queries but only display the "Filter View" of each query.
With just the combined query, nothing will display in Filter View as you surmised.

Reg Filter View in Combined Request OBIEE11g

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to show the filter view in a combined request. Currently we have achieved the same but putting another request but the issue when the download of the request happens the filter view is not downloaded and it has to be downloaded separately. We are using OBIEE11g(11.1.1.6.9).
Please advise if there is any workaround to achieve this functionality so that download of results and filter view can be achieved in one shot. Thanks.

Dev,
Not possible to use the filter view in union request.Try creating the filters with filter view as a separate request and add them to the dashboard.

My navigation bar will only remain in view for one request after using alt key

Everything worked fine for over a year on Mozilla firefox, suddenly I have no navigation or tool bar. If I press the alt key the bar appears and I am able to click on one command and then the bar disapears again. I followed the instructions online and clicked on the restore default bar, to no avail. It is a royal pain to have to alt key to open a new tab from the bookmarks everytime. If I can't figure it out I will have to stop using firefox which until now I was in love with. Please Help

After pressing Alt, in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on "Menu Bar" in the list of toolbars. That should make it permanently display.

How to change the display name in the filter view

Hi,
I have one column "*Year*" and type in case when 1=2 then "product_d"."name" else "calendar_d"."year" end.
I add a filter view for it. but when I select, like 2010, it will display"case when 1=2 then "product_d"."name" else "calendar_d"."year" end" is equal to 2010.
So how can I change it to "Year is equal to 2010"?
Any one have any idea about this?
Regards,
Anne

Hi David,
About your confuse about"case when 1=2 then "product_d"."name" else "calendar_d"."year" end".
You can try in your locale.
You will find they are different.
BASED ON THAT you have two table product_d and calendar_d AND they are related by one Fact table.
THEN When you type in
"case when 1=2 then "product_d"."name" else "calendar_d"."year" end"
AND
"calendar_d"."year",
IT WILL SHOW U TWO different RESULTS.
I need to show year which its related product is not null. but I cannot use SHOW->SQL RESULTS->TYPE SOME "WHERE..." because I also need to use "constrain"..
That why I choose to use a case when function..
So, do you have any idea about this?
Regards,
AnneWhy not use two filters in your request? Have something like this:
product_d.name IS NOT NULL
AND
calendar.year IS PROMPTED?
...instead of using a CASE statement? This way you can have both filters show the way they should in a meaningful way.

Reg Sorting in Combined Request in OBIEE11g

Currently we are facing a problem in OBIEEE11g Combined Request where sorting is not happening on any column at all. Please note that sorting should be dynamic on which column the user selects based on the column property available. Sorting works for normal request but not for combined request.
Please advise if there is any way or workaround to resolve this issue. Thanks.
Edited by: user11008583 on Mar 25, 2013 12:46 AM

Thanks for your response. We have a requirement where the Column Sorting should happen on any column based on what user selects from UI. This is working for a normal request but not for Combined Request in 11g. Please provide your valuable inputs to resolve this issue.

Use of Filter in Direct Database Request for Custom Navigation

Because of union and other complex sql code I am using Direct Database Request. (DDR) In 1st request based on DDR containing column Region, I need to do Region column value navigation to the Target report. The Target report is also based on DDR and has column Region.
For 1st Report Region Column Value Navigation to work
1. I did activate value interaction in 1st Report for Region column and set Target to Report 2.
2. In 2nd Report, I have to use Filter and make region column "Is Prompted". But in DDR the filter is not available. How do I solve this problem?

by using Direct database request your bypassing all the wanderful metadata you built in the BMM layer, as such much functionality is not available.
If you really need to use such complex SQL, I would suggest creating an inline view in the phyiscal layer and at least model this through your BMM either as a flat data source (ie include the dimension columns and model the same inline view into your BMM star)
If you do that, the BI Server will know what other logical columns this data source can relate you and you should find the navigation works as expected.
If you dont fancy that good practice, have a look at creating GOURL formulas as the column fx's, format as HTML to present the data as a hyperlink and manually pass all the parameters to the 2nd report.
I'd do the first option, its more inline with intended use.
What cant you do using the 'normal modelling / answers techniqes with union (see combined request in answers) and complex sql (evaluate function in RPD)??

Specify filter for every request except one

Can a in me web.xml file specify that a filter should be used for every request except one.
I can write;
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>MyFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
to use it on every request. But how do I exclude one specific resource that shouldn't go though the filter.
I know that this may not be exactly the right forum but i'm really lost. I appreciate all suggestion.
Thanks / Daniel

This is the right forum, but unforutanetly you cannot exclude some urls.
I would suggest you handle that logic in the filter itself.

Cannot place eps file "no filter found for requested operation"

I have two compuers running CS3. One computer can place .eps files into an InDesign document with no problem. The other computer tries to place an .eps file into InDesign and they get "no filter found for requested operation." It is able to place .jpegs, pdfs but not .eps. In the meantime, I opened the .eps in Illustrator and saved it as a .tiff and then placed it into the InDesign document successfully but this is NOT a good solution as I have hundreds of .eps files I need to work with.
How can I get this resolved?

Try deleting preferences as outlined here. You might have to go so far as to reinstall InDesign, but I hope not.
Also, AI is a much better format for placing Illustrator files than TIF or even EPS.

Prompt for a combine request

Hello experts,
I want to know that is there possible to create a prompt for a column in a combine request which associated the different attributes in each request?
For example:
Request 1 has column: Installed date
Request 2 has column: Unstalled date
In combine request, this two columns associated the column Date
and in the combine request, i want to create a prompt for the column Date, is that possible?
Thanks

Hi,
create a prompt for date column from your time dimension and set a presentation variable v_date...
on reports don't use is prompted for what date coumn you need, just say 'is equal or is in' add presentation variable and set to v_date..
if you find this post usefull please be free to award points

Session Variable in filter view error

Hello,
My prompt is defaulted to current 12Weeks. I used session variable in the prompt to capture 12 Weeks (Current Week and Current+12).
so the default value is @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.PERIOD_STDATE']} where PERIOD_STDATE is my session varible.
I am using a filter view to display the filters being applied.
When the user opens a tab, the filter view is throwing error
***The syntax of the expression to be evaluated is invalid.***
***Expression: @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.PERIOD_STDATE']}***
My report is running fine. I just have the date column as prompted in my report request.
When the user hits go button on the prompt then the filter view comes up just fine.
What is that I am doing wrong? Why does the filter view gives result after hitting GO button?
Please help.
thanks,
deep

Hi,
1. Set the default using logical SQL. Select <presentation table>.<presentation column> from <subject area> where <presentation table>.<presentationation column> =valueof(NQ_SESSION.<session variable>)
2. You dont have to write the exact syntax for entering the session variable in the default values. You just need to use the session variable name after selecting the session variable type in the drop down.
Hope this helped/ answered.
Regards
MuRam
