Formula as inlist operator parameter

hi all,
i'm using webi XI 3.1 on an OLAP universe.
My question is this:
is it possible to use a formula as a parameter of inlist operator?
like this
[measure] where([dimension] inlist([formula]))
I want to use a formula that lists the values of a dimension in every section on that dimension
thank you very much
Alessandro

Its Not possible becoz the inslist parameters take the value as string .How can u give formula to the String value. suppose if you given the formula like
measure where (dimension inlist( measure where dim=" "))
THE inlist patameter takes string value so the entire formula is displayed as string instead of return value .

Inlist operator vs join

Dear Sirs, hope question will be new in this forum.
I've found out following :
select count(*) from TEST_TAB s
where hash_key = :hk
and( R$APP in (x1, x2, ..., x10 )
or R_CALLS_LOG in ( y1, y2, ..., y756)
run time: 380 sec
select count(*) from TEST_TAB s
where hash_key = :hk
and( R$APP in (x1, x2, ..., x10 )
or R_CALLS_LOG in ( select n from BUF_TAB)
), where BUF_TAB contains list of values of 1st query
run time: 17 sec.
Description of TEST_TAB
SQL> desc TEST_TAB
Name Type Nullable Default Comments
LDN NUMBER
CID NUMBER Y
R_CALLS_LOG NUMBER Y
TRANSAC NUMBER Y
R$APP NUMBER Y
STRT DATE Y
ROW_ID ROWID Y
DEST_HASH_KEY NUMBER Y
HASH_KEY NUMBER Y
INDEXES: NO
LIST-PARTITIONED: BY "HASH_KEY"
RECORDS in tested section: ~ 1.5 mln
It seems that INLIST operator in WHERE works dramatically slowly that join with the same list stored in separate table.
Is it true for all cases or there is optimal amount of elements in filtration list when INLIST operator will be still best choice?
Thanks in advance.

TEST_TAB has no indexes ...As rgeier pointed out don't think that one query technique is better than another in all circumstances. You can over time see what usually works, but nothing is always true. You've found a situation where the inlist iterator works less efficiently but based on other circumstances the join might not work as well.
An indexed lookup for a table join or subquery is usually a good choice for faster retrieval than a full table scan - unless you need to access all of the rows in the list, in which case it will probably be slower. Without an index an in list might be faster.
I personally don't use in lists a lot, preferring joins or correlated EXISTS subqueries when the subqueries are properly lindexed. If I remember correctly a hard-coded in list has a limit of 1000 items anyway. In lists might be more efficient if they return a very small set of rows, perhaps less than 5 for fewer rows to search through, and if the underlying query (if any) can only be executed once to produce the list.
Adding to the confusion of tuning is that fact that recent versions of oracle can perform query transformations before execution. That is, the query can physically change before execution if the optimizer thinks the change will work better. Thus, in lists and table joins can sometimes be converted to the other. In some cases entire table joins can be added or eliminated.

Error when using "inlist operator" in the query filter of Webi 3.1

Hi,
We are currently in the process of migrating Deski to webi (BOXI 3.1).
The problem is, Deski is using the "inlist" operator which is working fine but after migrating to webi the inlist operator in the query filter is throwing the below error,
*Error Message :*
A database error occured. The database error text is: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis. (WIS 10901)
Appreciate your assistance on this.
Thanks !
Regards,
Perialt

Karthik ,
Yes I am seeing an additional paranthesis in Webi SQL query.
For example plz consider the product table below,
SELECT
Product.ID,
Product.Name
FROM Product
WHERE
Product.Name IN ( @Prompt('4) Name:','C','Product\Name-M',multi,free) )
As a work around in Custom SQL, If I remove the paranthesis the below query is running fine in webi
SELECT
Product.ID,
Product.Name
FROM Product
WHERE
Product.Name IN @Prompt('4) Name:','C','Product\Name-M',multi,free)
But I want a permanent solution.

The query contains a formula with the operator SUMCT

I m trying to get query ready for Webi, getting the error as 'The query contains a formula with the operator %RT. Therefore, the query cannot be released for OLE DB for OLAP'
I have not used any kind of s %GT, %RT, %CT, SUMGT, SUMRT, SUMCT and LEAF, also i have suppressed results / over results from the query, over to it, i have removed the calculate results as 'summation' feature and set to 'not defined' for all of my key figures.
Still getting the error...
Please suggest.

hi,
Ensure that all Link IDs are visible in the lsdal.ini file located in the \Windows\system directory of the PAS Server as those are then available to all users. The lsdal.ini file may not be correctly updated if: - You have created the BI Link IDs while using PAS in Client Server Mode - You have enabled multi user access for remote desktop. In this case an additional lsdal.ini file may appear in the user specific Windows directory of someone who may have remotely connected to the system to create the Link ID. That additional lsdal.ini file will only be valid for that specific user.
Also try adding "ODBOSECURITY=0" entry to the end of the c:\windows\lsserver.ini file on the server.
hope it helps

IN operator parameter in Reports

Hi all,
i had a report query parameter like this;
" where empno in (:eno) "
when i assign single value to :eno, it runs report perfectly, but whenever i give more than one value to same variable, the report previewer comes out without any data, ( a blank report) and some time give error
how can i successfully use a list with "IN" operator
Edited by: user581618 on Jan 22, 2009 11:09 AM

Use lexical parameter for multiple values,
where empno in ( &p_empnos )
and set P_empnos an initial value, say "12345, 54321".

IN Operator Parameter using stored procedure

Hi Guys,
I'm running a reporting services report using stored procedure and I'm facing a dilemma with the IN Operator in the stored procedure.
Can someone please help me out debugging the statement below? (run it on AdventureWorks Database)
Can I have the @Title Parameter based on another select statement something like this
Set @Title = SELECT Title FROM TableTitle
DECLARE @Title varchar(1000)
set @Title = 'Design Engineer', 'Tool Designer', 'Marketing Assistant'
SELECT FirstName, LastName, e.Title
FROM HumanResources.Employee AS e
JOIN Person.Contact AS c
ON e.ContactID = c.ContactID
WHERE e.Title IN (@Title)
Appreciate all the help on this.
Thank you
John

Hi John,
For your problem, we can use dynamical statement to solve the issue.
Here are 2 options to be clarified:
         1. A multi-value parameter will return an array value.
         2. It is not able to pass an array in a stored procedure.
To solve the issue, we can use the following steps:
1.              Cconvert the array into string that delimited by “,” using the function “Join” in SQL Server Reporting Services.
2.              Pass the string in the stored procedure.
3.              Combine the parameter and the statement into one simply string.
4.              Execute the simply string.
Here are the detailed steps for your reference:
1.       In Report Designer, create a new dataset as “SELECT Title FROM TableTitle”.
2.       Create a new multi-value parameter, set the available value from the dataset above.
3.       Set the query of the main dataset as :
="spSelect_Title "&Join(Parameters!para.Value, ",")
4.       Change the stored procedure as:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[spSelect_Title]
         -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
         --@Query NVarchar(Max),
         @Title NVarchar(MAX)
AS
BEGIN
         -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
         -- interfering with SELECT statements.
         SET NOCOUNT ON;
         DECLARE @Query Varchar(Max)
         SET @Query = 'SELECT FirstName, LastName, e.Title
         FROM HumanResources.Employee AS e
         JOIN Person.Contact AS c
         ON e.ContactID = c.ContactID
         WHERE e.Title IN (' + @Title+ ')'
--       PRINT ' QUERY = '+ ISNULL(@Query,'NULL')
         Execute sp_executesql @Query
END
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Value of an operation parameter depending on the characteristic value

Hi,
Is it possible to set the value of the Normal Duration (or any other parameter of the operation) depending on the value of one characteristic?
For example: The value of my characteristic A is 2, so I want to set Normal Duration = 10*(Value_of_A) = 20 for the first operation of the standard network. Is it possible in standard SAP???
Thanks in advance,
Luis.

Your question is quite clear, Please go this links may be helpful.

Formula interpreter logical operator

Dasylab 10
I'm capturing voltage from a daq, using formula interpreter to make calculations and then generating a XY graph. As the values are being generated I am wanting to display in a digital display the Y peak value and the corresponding X value. I therefore thought of writing to a variable each time the new value measured is greater the last one and then transmitting this to the display...
Problem: I don't know how to use the formula interpreter and the logical operators
e.g. IN(0)>=${VAR1}
When true, I'm expecting to see the output of the formula interpreter to go high and then I can trigger an action event. However whatever I have attempted so far hasn't worked, so I'm guessing there is something I don't understand
Can anyone show me an example of how this works?
Thanks

Formula Node & Array Operations

Hello,
I'm trying to use the formula node to subtract the previous term from the current term (or the next term minus the current term), but I can't figure out how to
use the array index to do it.
I've something along the lines of z_array[i+1]-z_array[i], but it only returns the difference of i+1-i....
Please see the attached picture.
Thank you,
Solved!

How can we change the default inlist operator in condition pane to equalto

When a user creates a condition in a WebIntelligence report, the
default operator is "In List". Can this default be changed to "Equal
To" for all users?

No.

Web Services.........XML schema of operation parameter?

This is a generic question :)
If my implementation fucntion is accepting a XML how can we embed the schema of the input XML in the WSDL so that it can be discovered by user/client?
Is it possible to define the input XML schema in the element binding? and how?
In contrast if the implementation function is accepting primitive types as input data , the how does the user/client encode(XML marshall) the information in his post or soap message so as to be understood by the web service.
Or
the user can directly write a client program and pass primitive parameters,marshall unmarshalling is done automatically?
No need to worry about how the data is carried in the post and soap messages?
Also what are the differrent ways in which a web service can be used and consumed?
If the user doesnot want to write a client program, but directly pass an http post or soap message, how will the user know how to write the POST/SOAP message in appropirate format(with the rigth XML format in the post body/soap message)!

Hello,
There's not one. The primary vision for the web-services.xml file
was/is to be a linkage between wsdl/soap and the j2ee environment. It
was not intended to be a starting point for building an application, but
a semi-private intermediary.

Hi there!
I'm just curious to know whether there exists any dtd or schema
for wls 7.x web-services.xml file?
The diagram in
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs70/webserv/wsp.html#1001373
shows one order for the contents of the web-service element,
whereas the examples reflect another (being types,
type-mapping, components, operations).
Why are the example web-services.xml not tagged with the
information of the location of the schema?
Of course building web-services.xml manually is not the first
thing to try, but since the contents are documented and since
it gives the best control over the process, it makes sense.

Confirmation of a formula in work center in the confirmation

Hi All,
          I want a result of a formula of work center of particular operation in confirmation. Can any body guide the steps

Hi Vachanala,
                       1. You create a standard value parameter in OP7B which is to be used in the formula.
                       2. Your standard value key created through OP19 should be containing this parameter which you have created and this key should be assigned in the basic data in the work center. Check generate box before saving the SVK.
                       3. You define the formula which uses this parameter through OP21. You should check allowed for calculation box.
                       4. In the costing tab of work center you maintain the formula against this parameter. If you want to cost it In that case and should also maintain an activity through KL01 and maintain a price for it through KP26. This activity should also then be maintained against the parameter in the costing tab of work center. Also check the reference indicator against the parameter.
                       5. Assign this work center to the operation in routing.
                       6. Create order, release and do confirmation, if you click actual data system should propose you the quantity as per calculation. Cost will be calculated if you maintained as per point 4, in the planned cost against the order.
                           Please check and revert.

Report parameter field value has a single quote. need to escape before pass

Report has a parameter whose value might have a single quote in it. If I pass that value directly into the SQL Command... like
where ... user_name = {?parm_user_name}...
which would translate to
user_name='O'Donnel Honda'
I am getting an error... so would like to convert this parameter value into 'O''Donnel Honda' before passing into the query.
I created a formula called parse_user_name with following:
Replace ({?parm_user_name}, "'", "''")
And used in the query like
where ... user_name = {@parse_user_name}...
I am getting an error like invalid SQL92 character...

I think you should use the condition like this
where ... user_name = '{?parm_user_name}'
keep the parameter in single quote at the command level itself.
Now use the same formula like
replace({?Parameter},"'","''")
This works only if the parameter is a single value parameter but not multi value parameter.

Dealing with an empty string parameter

I'd think this should be simple but is driving me nuts. I have a string parameter (lets call it Foo) that is being passed from my C# application to a CR subreport. For this parameter field I have a formula associated with "Display String" similar to this:
if (IsNull({?Foo}) or (length({?Foo}) = 0)) then
    "Value is empty"
else
    "Value is " + {?Foo}
I can never get the "Value is empty" line to appear! I've tried lots of suggestions:
1. trim and check result equal to '' (two single quotes)
2. test if equal to "".
3. Adding false to Suppress.
It appears that if this parameter is the empty string CR simply does nothing with my formulas and the entire parameter field is skipped.
If I pass "null" (or any other special string) instead of "" from my C# code and then change the above test to check for that value as shown below things work properly.
        if (IsNull({?Foo}) or ({?Foo} = "null") then
However I really don't like testing for a special string as there is the remote possibility that it could be the actual value of the parameter.
Any help most appreciated.
Dick

Not surprised and willing to bet there will be a simple answer to this!
There is something most odd happening when the string value is empty.
Let me answer your questions.
1 - How are you setting your parameter value?
Since I want to be able to pass parameters to the base report as well as its subreports I'm using this method:
        protected void setParameter(string parameterName, object value)
            ParameterFields fields = report.ParameterFields;
            for (int i = 0; i < fields.Count; i++)
                if (fields<i>.Name.Equals(parameterName))
                    string reportName = fields<i>.ReportName;
                    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(reportName))
                    {   // give to base report
                        report.SetParameterValue(parameterName, value);
                    else
                    {   // give to subreport
                        report.SetParameterValue(parameterName, value, reportName);
2 - What OS and service pack are you on?
Windows XP, SP 3. All updates from MS installed.
My development environment is either of these two:
a. VS 2008. Version 9.0.30729.1 SP. ,NET Framework 3.5 SP1
b. VS 2010 Version 4.0.30319
3 - What platform are you targeting?
For now just running on my XP PC but have tested our app on XP, Win7, and Vista. 32 and 64-bit version of each.
4 - Is this a win or web form application? Win app
5 - What is the version of your CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine?
Version: 12.2.0.290, Product Type: Full
6 - What is the version of crpe32.dll do you have on your machine?
I only have one instance of this file in this directory:
     C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86
7 - Did you have one of our betas on this machine? No
Edited by: dcowan on Dec 7, 2010 2:10 AM
I needed to finish this so I'm closing it.
In my C# code I placed the following:
                    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
                        value = "!_Empty_!";
and in the CR formula I used:
       (IsNull({?CoBrandName}) or ({?CoBrandName} = "!_Empty_!"))
Everything is now working just as I want. Not an ideal solution but I gave up.
