Help needed with Dashboard prompt using SQL Constrain

I am trying to implement a filter using presentation variables in a Dashboard Prompt.
I wish to use SQL filter to Constrain the results to populate the 2nd Combo Box.
The solution works for the 1st time, and there after it doesn't.
Can anyone suggest a better approach or correct me if I am doing anything wrong.
NOTE: I do not wish to use 'Constrain' Check box which is provided by Oracle.
The code -> http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/GTEQfuC6g7xGeP6HXor6_A?feat=directlink
It works the First time ->http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/SUrrZJSgB5W8H39D899yGQ?feat=directlink

Help needed with pattern matching (analytics SQL ?)

Hello Forum Users,
I've got a curious problem on my hands that I am unable to think of an efficient way to code in Oracle SQL ....
(1) Background
Two tables :
MEASUREMENTS
ID NUMBER
M1 NUMBER
M2 NUMBER
M3 NUMBER
M4 NUMBER
INTERESTING_VALUES
ID NUMBER
M1 NUMBER
M2 NUMBER
M3 NUMBER
M4 NUMBER
(2) OUTPUT NEEDED
For each row in "MEASUREMENTS", count the number of matches in "INTERESTING_VALUES" (all rows). Please note that the matches might not be in the same column.... e.g. for a given row MEASUREMENTS M1 might match INTERESTING_VALUES M3.
I need to count 2,3 and 4 matches and provide the count values seperatley.
I am not interested in fuzzy matching (e.g. "greater than" or "less than"), the numbers only need to match exactly.
(You can use features up to 11g).
Thank you for your help.

yup here you go...

Help needed with calendar prompts!!

hi ..
I have an issue in displaying the date difference between the user selected calendar prompt date and the time period date.
TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY , Fact.due_Date, @{selected_date}{CURRENT_DATE}) works fine,
But when user selects a date from the calendar prompt, date format is not matching. Obiee uses YYYY/MM/DD but the calendar returns 'MM/DD/YYYY' as a character.
Any idea how to cast a date function from MM/DD/YYYY to YYYY/MM/DD ??
I tried using Evaluate, it hangs up the BI server. So is there any alternate way to achieve this??

Hi,
I had faced a similar issue:
My work around was
the date prompt column was cast to date in dashboard promt and set as calender control. The date value captured in presentatiion varaible 'date' and in the report the below calcuation on the presenation variable was done.
calculation posted below for ur help.
WHEN 'week' THEN (TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, DAYOFWEEK(EVALUATE('TO_DATE(%1,%2)' AS DATE,'@{date}','dd/mm/yyyy') )*-1+2,EVALUATE('TO_DATE(%1,%2)' AS DATE,'@{date}','dd/mm/yyyy')) )
hope this will be of help.

Help needed with Patch Deployment using Configuration Manager 2007

I am trying to figure out how to deploy many patches built into a Deployment Management and Deployment Packages. For the life of me I can not find with in the program where to push the packages out to A) a group of Client, or B) a single client for
testing.
Thank you for your input. I am in front of the console now pulling my hair out.
Again thank you

Jason,
I have been doing that for 2 day now, reading the book, and technet. This is why I came here in hopes someone could give me a better idea than what I can find else where.
Maybe someone has some ideas on a certain log file on the server or a desktop to get some ideas?
Thank you

Help needed with IN Clause in SQL Query

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to pass a value and a sql statement in the IN Clause
Eg., I want to query from a table as follows:
Select Col1, Col2 from Table_A where Col2 in ('XYZ',(Select Col_A from Table_B))
So i want the result from Table_A where Col2 has values 'XYZ' along with all the values from Col_A of Table_B.
Is it possible to do so.. If not what other alternative is possible.. Because i have to pass a hard coded value along with the values from a Table in the IN statement.

Hi,
you might have something like this
Select Col1, Col2
from Table_A
where (Col2 = 'XYZ' or col2 in(Select Col_A from Table_B))Edited by: Sreekanth Munagala on Jan 7, 2009 1:37 AM

Problem with dashboard prompt initial value (OBIEE 11g)

Hi alli,
I have a problem with dashboard prompt and session variable in OBIEE 11g.
I have declared a session non-system variable which I set/change with dashboard prompt. At login the variable is initialized in initialization block that gets a value from an SQL select statement.
When I change the value in prompt, the session variable changes accordingly, as it should (change is made by calling function NQSSetSessionValue() within javascript function). While I am in my dashboard, cruising around pages the variable stays the same, and when I return to the page that has prompt on it, the correct value is shown. Everything works fine.
The problem occures when I go to Catalog (in presentation services) to create some new Answers. When I return back to the same page in dashboard (which has a prompt), the prompt selected value and session variable are set back to the default value. It looks like the initialization block is executed again.
My prompt is configured like this:
- Choice List Values: SQL Results
- Default selection: Variable Expression (@{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.VariableName']} )
- Set a variable: Presentation Variable
Is there a way to stop the initialization block from executing again? Isn't it logical that the initialization block executes only at login, when the session variable is empty? I don't need it to execute every time i come to the dashboard.
Thanks in advance,
Marko

How and where do you use the nqssetvalue() function.
I tried it in several places but it doesn't work.
Can you help me, please!
Thanks

Help needed with Vista 64 Ultimate

"Help needed with Vista 64 UltimateI I need some help in getting XFI Dolby digital to work

When I click dolby digital li've in DDL it jumps back up to off and has this [The operation was unsuccessful. Please try again or reinstall the application].
Message Edited by Fuzion64 on 03-06-2009 05:33 AMS/PDIF I/O was enabled under speakers in control panel/sound, but S/PDIF Out function was totally disabled
once I set this to enabled Dolby and DTS went acti've.
I also have a question on 5. and Vista 64
-When I game I normally use headphones in game mode or 2. with my headphones, the reason for this is if I set it on 5. I get sounds coming out of all of the wrong channels.
Now when I watch movies or listen to music I switch to 5. sound in entertainment mode, but to make this work properly I have to open CMSS-3D. I then change it from xpand to stereo and put the slider at even center for 50%. If I use the default xpand mode the audio is way off coming out of all of the wrong channels.
How do I make 5. render properly on vista

Help needed with itunes

help needed with itunes please tryed to move my itunes libary to my external hard drive itunes move ok and runs fin but i have none of my music or apps or anything all my stuff is in the itunes folder on my external hard drive but there is nothing on ituns how do i get it back help,please

(Make sure the Music (top left) library is selected before beginning this.)
If you have bad song links in your library, hilite them and hit the delete button. Then locate the folder(s) where your music is located and drag and drop into the large library window in iTunes ( where your tracks show up). This will force the tunes into iTunes. Before you start, check your preferences in iTunes specifically under the"Advanced" tab, general settings. I prefer that the 1st 2 boxes are unchecked. (Keep iTunes Music folder organized & Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library). They are designed to let iTunes manage your library. I prefer to manage it myself. Suit yourself. If there is a way for iTunes to restore broken links other than locating one song at a time I haven't found it yet. (I wish Apple would fix this, as I have used that feature in other apps.) This is the way I do it and I have approx. 25,000 songs and podcasts and videos at present. Hope this helps.

Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail!!

Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail?
I had 7 junk mails come in this morning, 5 went straight to junk and 2 more I junked.
When I clicked on the Junk folder to empty it, it froze Mail and I can't click on anything, I had to force quit Mail and re-open it. When it re-opens the Junk folder is selected and it is froze, I can't do anything.
I repaired permissions, it did nothing.
I re-booted my computer, on opening Mail the In folder was selected, when I selected Junk, again, it locks up Mail and I can't select them to delete them?
Anyone know how I can delete these Junk mails from my Junk folder without having to open Mail to do it as it would appear this will be the only solution to the problem.

Hi Nigel
If you hold the Shift key when opening the mail app, it will start up without any folders selected & no emails showing. Hopefully this will enable you to start Mail ok.
Then from the Mail menus - choose Mailbox-Erase Junk Mail . The problem mail should now be in the trash. If there's nothing you want to retain from the Trash, you should now choose Mailbox- Erase Deleted Messages....
If you need to double-check the Trash for anything you might want to retain, then view the Trash folder first, before using Erase Junk Mail & move anything you wish to keep to another folder.
The shift key starts Mail in a sort of Safe mode.

Problems with dashboard prompts - 11.1.1.6 on Win 2008 64 bit

Hi, I'm just curious if anyone who is using / testing 11.1.1.6 on a 64 bit Windows 2008 environment is having issues with dashboard prompts.
I'm seeing issues where dashboard prompts are showing up with a NULL option - i.e. if a dimension has values A, B, and C, I see the prompt showing up as:
NULL
A
B
C
There are NOT nulls in the data, and I can see that the related query is only returning 3 rows. It feels like something is broken with 11.1.1.6, but just curious if others are seeing this.
BTW, this happens with all types of prompts - check boxes, radio buttons, choice lists, etc. But strangely it doesn't seem to happen with the "sample" data - not sure if it's because it's from XML instead of database?
Thx,
Scott

Nico - I owe you a ton, that's exactly the problem. So the workaround is for me to set everything to not allow NULLs in the physical layer - kind of a pain, but management.
Having said that - do you have any idea WHY this would happen? Just because a column CAN have a NULL, why would OBIEE automatically display a NULL in the prompt, even when one doesn't exist? After all, this column could also have "Nico" or "Scott" in it...and it isn't displaying those?????
Wonder if this has something to do with the new "buttonless" prompts. Or maybe I'm just missing something obvious...
Thanks!!!
Scott

Help needed with header and upload onto business catalyst

Can someone help with a problem over a header please?
I have inserted a rectangle with a jpeg image in background, in the 'header' section, underneath the menu. It comes up fine on most pages when previsualised, going right to the side of the screen, but stops just before the edge on certain pages. I have double checked that I have placed it in the right place in relation to the guides on the page.
That's one problem.
The second problem is that I tried to upload onto business catalyst, which got to 60% and refused to go any further, saying it couldn't find the header picture, giving the title and then u4833-3.fr.png. The picture is in the right folder I have double checked. And it isn't a png. Does it have to be ?
And the third problem is that I got an email following my upload from business catalyst in Swedish. I am living in France.
Can anyone help ? Thanks.

Thanks for replying,
How can I check the preview in other browsers before I publish a provisional site with BC?
The rectangle width issue happens on certain pages but not others. The Welecom page is fine when the menu is active, also the contact page, but others are slightly too narrow. Changing the menu spacing doesn’t help - I was already on uniform but tried changing to regular and back.
In design mode the rectangle is set to the edge of the browser, that’s 100%browser width right?
Re BC I have about 200 images on 24 different pages and it seems to be having difficulty uploading some of them. But it has managed a couple I named with spaces but not others I named with just one name.
Is there an issue on size of pictures ? If I need to replace is there a quick way to rename and relink or do I have to insert the photos all over again?
I’m a novice with Muse with an ambitious site !
Thanks for your help.

Answering the questions :
- Have you checked the preview in Muse and also in other browsers ?
- Does the rectangle width issue happens when menu is active , or in any specific state , Try to change the menu with uniform spacing and then check.
- In design view the rectangle is set to 100% browser width ?
With publishing :
- Please try to rename the image file and then relink
- If it happens with other images as well , see if all the image names includes strange characters or spaces.
- Try again to publish
With e-mail from BC :
- Under preferences , please check the country selected.
- If you have previously created partner account in BC and selected country and language then it would follow that, please check that.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Help needed with BBDM 5.0.1 IP Modem

Hi I was happily connecting thru the Net via the IP Modem in BBDM ver 5.0.1 all this while. Only this happened yesterday. Accidentally during the connection, my 9500 was disconnected from the USB cable. From that moment on, I cannot access the Net using the IP Modem feature. Tried to reboot the laptop as well as the 9500 but now all I get is the connecting message and then a pop up saying there is a hardware failure in the connecting device (or modem) ie the BB 9500.
I even uninstalled BBDM 5.0.1 and reinstalled ver 5.0 and also updated back to 5.0.1 - same story. I can still access the Net via the BB browser etc
Advise please thanks in advance

I have the disc and re-installed a couple of time. No positive result. PSE 09 which I bought thereafter is giving a lot of problems also!!!

Subject: Help needed with Elements 5.0
Doesn't really help either of us very much but I'm also having the same problem with Elements 5. I downloaded the program so I don't have disks to reinstall. And it seems from the other reply that Adobe has given up with the "old program," which incidentally was working fine until two days ago. Maybe I'll have to think about PSE9!

Help needed with java

Hello everyone
I'm a Student and new to java and I have been given a question which I have to go through. I have come across a problem with one of the questions and am stuck, so I was wondering if you guys could help me out.
here is my code so far:
A Class that maintains Information about a book
This might form part of a larger application such
as a library system, for example.
@author (your name)
*@version (a version number or a date)*
public class Book
// instance variables or fields
private String author;
private String title;
Set the author and title when the book object is constructed
public Book(String bookAuthor, String bookTitle)
author = bookAuthor;
title = bookTitle;
Return The name of the author.
public String getAuthor()
return author;
Return The name of the title.
public String getTitle()
return title;
and below are the questions that I need to complete. they just want me to add codes to my current one, but the problem is I don't know where to put them and how I should word them, if that makes sense.
Add a further instance variable/field pages to the Book class to store the number of pages in the book.
This should be of type int and should be set to 0 in the Constructor.
Add a second Constructor with signature
public Book(String bookAuthor, String bookTitle, int noPages) so it has a third parameter passed to it as well as the author and title;
this parameter is used - obviously?? - to initialise the number of pages.
Note: This is easiest done by making a copy of the existing Constructor and adding the parameter.
Add a getPages() accessor method that returns the number of pages in the book.
Add a method printDetails() to your Book class. This should print out the Author title and number of pages to the Terminal Window. It is your choice as to how the data is formatted, perhaps all on one line, perhaps on three, and with or without explanatory text. For instance you could print out in the format:
Title: Robinson Crusoe, Author: Daniel Defoe, Pages:226
Add a further instance variable/field refNumber() to your Book class. This stores the Library's reference number. It should be of type String and be initialised to the empty String "" in the constructor, as its initial value is not passed in as a parameter. Instead a public mutator method with the signature:
public void setRefNumber(String ref) should be created. The body of this method should assign the value of the method parameter ref to the refNumber.
Add a corresponding getRefNumber() accessor method to your class so you can check that the mutator works correctly
Modify your printDetails() method to include printing the reference number of the book.
However the method should print the reference number only if it has been set - that is the refNumber has a non-zero length.
If it has not been set, print "ZZZ" instead.
Hint Use a conditional statement whose test calls the length() method of the refNumber String and gives a result like:
Title: Jane Eyre, Author: Charlotte Bronte, Pages:226, RefNo: CB479 or, if the reference number is not set:
Title: Robinson Crusoe, Author: Daniel Defoe, Pages:347, RefNo: ZZZ
Modify your setRefNumber() method so that it sets the refNumber field only if the parameter is a string of at least three characters. If it is less than three, then print an error message (which must contain the word error) and leave the field unchanged
Add a further integer variable/field borrowed to the Book class, to keep a count of the number of times a book has been borrowed. It should (obviously??) be set to 0 in the constructor.
Add a mutator method borrow() to the class. This should increment (add 1 to) the value of borrowed each time it is called.
Include an accessor method getBorrowed() that returns the value of borrowed
Modify Print Details so that it includes the value of the borrowed field along with some explanatory text
PS. sorry it looks so messey

1. In the future, please use a more meaningful subject. "Help needed with java" contains no information. The very fact that you're posting here tells us you need help with Java. The point of the subject is to give the forum an idea of what kind of problem you're having, so that individuals can decide if they're interested and qualified to help.
2. You need to ask a specific question. If you have no idea where to start, then start here: [http://home.earthlink.net/~patricia_shanahan/beginner.html]
3. When you post code, use code tags. Copy the code from the original source in your editor (NOT from an earlier post here, where it will already have lost all formatting), paste it in here, highlight it, and click the CODE button.

Help needed with Report Design

Hi All,
Here is the requirement.
Period Type(holds 2 values) : Payment and Vested.
we have field 'Total Days' which is calculated based on "User Selected" Period Type.
For example, When Period Type is Payment,
If start date is less than or equal to grant date and end date is less than or equal to vest date, then calculation is (End Date - Grant Date)+1
If start date is greater than grant date and end date is less than or equal to vest date, then calculation is (End Date - Mobility Start Date)+1 (similarly 2 more if conditions) ...we have similar calculation for Period Type - 'Vested'.
This Period Type is a multiselect Prompt. How can this be achievable.
Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
