How do I use a Presentation Variable to select Column/Views of a Request

I have multiple requests that all have view / column selectors in them (all the same columns)
What I would like is to create a dashboard prompt that the user can select from that will influence these multiple requests on the same dashboard page.
Thanks for any help.

User,
As I read that example it has
Year - Year Ago - Dollars
The dropdown selector they've created looks very useful in that it allows them to filter those three columns with 50+ filters.
What I'm trying to do is something like this (for multiple different requests of course)
Year - Year Ago - Dolloars - Column 1
or
Year - Year Ago - Dolloars - Column 2
or
Year - Year Ago - Dollars - Column 3

How to use a presentation variable in filter conditions

Hi,
I have set a presentation variable "day" on my dashboard prompt containing a date column. I now need to use this presentation variable in the filter clause to restrict the dates between "day" and sysdate.
So i apply the following SQL filter:
where day between '{@variables.day}' and current_date
But I end up in getting the following error:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 1861, message: ORA-01861: literal does not match format string at OCI call OCIStmtExecute. [nQSError: 17011] SQL statement execution failed. (HY000)
I even tried casting the presentation variable to date, but to no avail. Can someone let me know how to specify the date format for the presentation variable.

If you're a member of ODTUG (or even if not, you can sign up for an associate membership for free) you can download Glenn's presentation from 2009 Kaliedoscope "Little Used Features of Essbase (Like Data Mining and Triggers)" -- there is a section in that presentation on substitution variables -- he does a really good job in showing how this works.
Go to: www.odtug.com, then Tech Resources, then Essbase/Hyperion, and search for Schwartzberg. Currently it's the ninth presentation on the list -- I think this changes based on popularity of downloads.

To use two presentation variables based on the period selection in OBIEE

Dear All,
I have period prompt in my report, based on the period prompt selection in my report I need to get the start and end dates of the period and apply in the report filter.
For e.g. Period Name selected in the prompt is "2010 - Q1" (For this Period, Period Start Date = 01/01/2010 and Period End Date is 30/03/2010, which is not going to be displayed in the prompts).
How can I get the start and end dates of the period into my report filter. I tried using the presentation variable for the period name, but unable to resolve the requirement.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
Create a report A which will give you the period start date and end date and filter it using the period prompt.
Then filter the main report using the report A start date and end date, using Filter -> Advanced ->Filter based on results of another request .
Add the report A in separate section on the dashboard along with main report and hide report A section.
Thanks,
Vino

How can I pass a Presentation Variable (Date) into a prompt

Hello
How can I pass a Presentation Variable (date) into a prompt? I seem to be able to do this successfully for a non-date value but have had no luck with a Date variable.
Here's a simplistic version of what I'm trying to do:
1. I have a Presentation Variable called startDate which is a Date that defaults to this SQL - SELECT "Reporting Dates"."Measure Date" FROM Trading WHERE "Reporting Dates"."Date Name" = 'Current'.
2. I now want to pass this variable into a prompt with SQL like this: SELECT "Position Date"."Position Date" FROM Trading where "Position Date"."Position Date" = date'@{startDate}{2009-04-24}'
I get this error: Datetime value @{startDate}{2009-04-24} from @{startDate}{2009-04-24} does not match the specified format.
Now I can use the exact same syntax in a filter. For example, a simple Answers request where I pick Position Date with a filter saying "Position Date"."Position Date" = date'@{startDate}{2009-04-24}' works fine.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Can you provide more information please?
1. What is the format of the first date prompt, is it YYYY-MM-DD or?
2. Which data type is Position Date."Position Date" in the physical layer, date or date time?
3. What is the column formula in the first prompt?
4. The first prompt is set to drop-down or?
5. If you are using this SQL Results in the second prompt:
SELECT "Position Date"."Position Date" FROM Trading where "Position Date"."Position Date" = date '@{startDate}{2009-04-24}'
then @{startDate} must be in YYYY-MM-DD format to work properly, otherwise (for example):
datetime value 01/01/2000 from 01/01/2000 does not match the specified format.
This doesn't work for example:
SELECT Times.time_id FROM "Normal model" where Times.time_id =date '01/01/2000'

How can i display the presentation variable in my reports

Was facing a problem to display the Presentation variable on my report, however i managed to display it on answers, but when i try to display it on my Publisher report it doesnt shows any data.
I use to Select the Values From my prompt, and it shows the Reflection of Presentation Variable on my Answers Report. but i cannot see the Reflection of data on my Publisher Report Please any One Can help me with this.

Removing '' does not work it given the following error
"State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27002] Near <@>: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012] . (HY000)"
and by adding space you mean that I use it as '@{ BbranchCode}'?
What I am doing at the moment is
1. Write the given query in oracle BI Answers.
2. Made a dashboard prompt in Answers.
3. Made a report in dashboard using the Answers report and the dashboard prompt.
Up till this step it works perfectly fine and the data displayed in manipulated on the basis of the values selected in the prompt.
4. Now what I want is to display this report in Dashboards using oracle BI publisher. For that I use the template builder provided for microsoft word.
5. I login to that add-on, open the answers report where I can see the field in the rowset. I select that field and save the template.
6. I open the oracle BI publisher and make a new reprt with data model of the answer's report and Layout of the one I just created.
7. I open the dashboard and put in the BI publisher report in the same page in which the asnwers report and the prompt was.
8. Upon changing the values of the prompt the report in the answers is still getting manipulated but I am not able to see its reflection of the BI publisher report.
The thing is that I am currently using this presentation variable to manipulate my reports in dashbords using dashboard prompts. The report is built in oracle BI Answers and it is working perfectly fine with it. Now when I use the template builder for Microsoft Word and open the template with the answers's report of this query I see the field in the row set but when I display the template in the dason the bases of this presentation variable the report in the oracle BI Answers is getting updated when I change values but when I use the template builder for microsoft word the the field is being shown in the row set.

Use of Presentation Variables in Navigated Report Title

Hi All,
It's regarding the presentation variable in report title. I have value interaction to another report based on Prompted values. But when we click on the value it will go to another report page and giving the results, but the title view is not changing as per the requested value. The title should change dynamically, but it is showing the P.Variables in place of prompted value.
Below are the ways i have used the P.Variables:
@{brand1} at @{customer}, @{sensitivity}% Sensitivity
@{brand1}{'Prod'} at @{customer}{'CVS'}, @{sensitivity}{'15'}% Sensitivity -----(default values here)
Version : OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0
Could you provide me the solution for this issue.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi,
You can use the presentation variable when you are passing the value from the prompt and filtering after
clicking on the 'GO' or 'APPLY' button. So that assigns one value and is passed in the report in the
page used.
What you need to do is you need to have the 'is prompted' for the column used in the title
or you can make the column is equal to @{pres_var}.
But still if you dont use the columns in the report and you dont want to filter the report with the title columns
then you can use narrative view with all the columns used in the title and have 'is prompted' and make its formatting similar to title view and save as a separate report
And place the narrative view above the report

How to create/use SAP Exit variable of Query designer

Hello experts,
Can you please guide me on how to create/use SAP Exit variables ?
Is there any way we can transport customer exit include in which we write all codes related to customer exit variables?
Kindly provide your valuable inputs on this.
Thanks,
Mitesh

Hello Gautam,
I think you should first implement the user-exit via the transaction SMOD/CMOD and the SAP-Enhancement RSR00001 User-Exit ( BW Reporting )
For the concrete implementation I would suggest to encapsulate the variables, as it is described here
Easy implementation of BEx-Userexit-Variables

Presentation variable in iframe/narrative view/Go URL

I am able to see the peresentaion variable declared in Dashboard Prompt in narrative view.
But when I put in iframe with narrative in Go URL then i am not able to filter the report based on presentation variable Values..." The page throws error
'saw.aViewsToRefersh.all' is null or not an object.'

Do you get that error if you remove the presentation
variable column (@n). Does the a simple iframe work.
Also, how are you referring the presentation variable
in the iframe. I hope you are referring via a dummy
column.
Thanks,
Venkat
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com
Yes the simple iframe work well in the browser. As I am trying to run report based on the dashboard prompt. I have declared presentation variable in Dashboard prompt and referring the presentation variable in the iframe via a dummy column. when i click on 'Go' of dashboard prompt after selecting the value in dropdown list, I see the error on left bottom most of Internet Explorer Showing " Done" is null or not any object. also i see javascript:void(null). I assume that the variable value is not getting passed to parameters i have given in Go URL

How to generate report with dynamic variable number of columns?

How to generate report with dynamic variable number of columns?
I need to generate a report with varying column names (state names) as follows:
SELECT AK, AL, AR,... FROM States ;
I get these column names from the result of another query.
In order to clarify my question, Please consider following table:
CREATE TABLE TIME_PERIODS (
PERIOD     VARCHAR2 (50) PRIMARY KEY
CREATE TABLE STATE_INCOME (
     NAME     VARCHAR2 (2),
     PERIOD     VARCHAR2 (50)     REFERENCES TIME_PERIODS (PERIOD) ,
     INCOME     NUMBER (12, 2)
I like to generate a report as follows:
AK CA DE FL ...
PERIOD1 1222.23 2423.20 232.33 345.21
PERIOD2
PERIOD3
Total 433242.23 56744.34 8872.21 2324.23 ...
The TIME_PERIODS.Period and State.Name could change dynamically.
So I can't specify the state name in Select query like
SELECT AK, AL, AR,... FROM
What is the best way to generate this report?

How do I use Primary Key and RowID in Materialized View Logs and MVs

How do I use Primary Key and RowID in Materialized View Logs and Materialized Views????
I donât understand in the Materalized View Logs the diference between Primary Key and RowID. Besides, I could choose both Primary Key and RowID.
When I have to use RowID?? Why?? And Primary Key??? And both, Primary Key and RowID????
Thank you very much!

Yes, I have already read it...
But for example I donât Understand:
This is the example 8-1
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG ON products
WITH SEQUENCE, ROWID
(prod_id, prod_name, prod_desc, prod_subcategory, prod_subcat_desc, prod_
category, prod_cat_desc, prod_weight_class, prod_unit_of_measure, prod_pack_
size, supplier_id, prod_status, prod_list_price, prod_min_price)
INCLUDING NEW VALUES;
But if I create a Materialized View with TOAD if I choose a KEY field I receive the error:
ORA-12026: invalid filter column detected
Then I have to take out the Key (in the above example prod_id)
And then the script is
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG ON products
WITH ROWID, SEQUENCE, PRIMARY KEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(prod_id, prod_name, prod_desc, prod_subcategory, prod_subcat_desc, prod_
category, prod_cat_desc, prod_weight_class, prod_unit_of_measure, prod_pack_
size, supplier_id, prod_status, prod_list_price, prod_min_price)
INCLUDING NEW VALUES;
I have PRIMARY KEY in the definition (I donât choose it) and I donât have the prod_id field
Why is it????
Note: If I execute the script to create the MV Log manually the PRIMARY KEY option NO IS in the script and the prod_id field either is in the script.
And on the other hand,
What is this:
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG ON sales
WITH ROWID;
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG ON times
WITH ROWID;
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG ON customers
WITH ROWID;
These MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG contain any fields????
Or it contain the primary key fields of this tables (sales, times and customers)??? Then, Why is it ROWID instead of PRIMARY KEY????
Thanks!
