How to cache columns that are dashboard prompts?

Hi,
I have a few columns in a table that are defined as dashboard prompts. The values in a particular column in the dashboard prompt are constrained based on the value selected in the previous dashboard prompt. Once a user logs in he/she can see only the data based on his role.
How do I cache the dashboard prompt table (columns of which are defined as dashboard prompts) and the security table (which determines the user's role and finally determines the data level security) so the user does not have to wait too long for the landing page to show up once he logs in.
Thanks for inputs.

Here is how you seed the cache:

How to hide columns that are getting added dynamically to UI Element 'Table

In SRM 7.0 while displaying a RFx, click on "responses and awards" button.
In the response comparision tab once the user selects response number and clicks on "compare all responses".
Item details table is displayed with fields item number,internal number,item description,........,Price etc.
Requirement is to hide the price column from the table.
The UI element type is 'Table'.
But the catch is there is no column price visible at layout design level.
This field is getting added dynamically at run time.
When i right click and see the 'more field help' at the front end i get the field id as 'GRP_1_COL_3_TXTV'.
lo_table ?= view->get_element( id = 'ITEMS_TABLE' ).
lo_column = lo_table->get_column( id = 'GRP_1_COL_3_TXTV').
ASSERT lo_column IS NOT INITIAL.
lo_column->set_visible( EXPORTING value = '01' ).
I had written the above code in the pre-exit of WDDOMODIFYVIEW.
But i am getting dump as assertion failed.it says no column by name 'GRP_1_COL_3_TXTV'.
Please help me inhow to hide fields or buttons getting generated dynmically.

Venkat Raghavan.

Hi Anitha,
What i understood from your question is,you want to control the table from your inputs.I have a one question for you what do you want to show defaultly i.e when you run the application what you want to show,either no table or table with some values.
Any how i am giving solution in this way.
If both inputs are given proper table output is displayed
Write your below logic in the WDDOMODIFYVIEW )
Here i am assuming that you already have a table element in the view.
Get the values entered in the input fields and compare those 2 values ,if the condition is satisfied then bind the values which you want to show in the table to the context node.
but if only 1 input is given a column is empty in the output table so i want to hide this column dynamically at runtime based on my inputs
You are telling that you know the empty column.If so get the view element reference and use the REMOVE_COLUMN to remove the column.
data:lr_table type ref to cl_wd_table,
       lr_column type ref to L_WD_TABLE_COLUMN.
lr_table ?= view->get_element( 'TABLE1' ).
CALL METHOD LR_TABLE->REMOVE_COLUMN
    EXPORTING
      ID          = 'TABLE1_color'
     INDEX      =
    RECEIVING
      THE_COLUMN = lr_column.
i want to hide some empty rows also at runtime based on inputs.
Removing the rows is very simple.if you know the key fields data of internal table from your input fields then do in this way.
delete itab from wa where key1= "12" and key2="abd".
Now bind the internal table to context node.
LO_ND_hcm->BIND_TABLE(
      NEW_ITEMS            = it_final
      SET_INITIAL_ELEMENTS = ABAP_TRUE ).

OBIEE - How to selectively hide or disable columns on a dashboard prompt?

Hello! I need some help with OBIEE dashboard Prompts. Any help will be highly appreciated!
Question 1. How to selectively hide or disable columns on a dashboard prompt or the entire prompt? There seems to be no "hide" or "dsable" options on
prompts.
Question 2. How to synchronize 2 different prompts on the same dashboard?
The application is this: There are total of 2 tabs on a dashboard ("tab_1" and "tab_2"). Each tab uses different prompts ("pr_1" and "pr_2"), having just one first drop down column in common ("Product_id").
The desired functionality is this: user selects "Product_id" on the first tab's prompt, which filters its reports (on "Go") and also propagates to the second tab. When user clicks on the second tab, the reports there are already filtered (or begin filtering) by "product_id", selected on the first tab.
Question 3. How to prevent the reports from retrieving when switching to a different tab on a dshboard? Specifying dummy default values in the prompt does
not seem to preven reports from retrieving, which still takes time.
Thank you very much!
Roger

Regarding Question 2:
What you need to have is a Dashboard scope dashboard prompt for Product_ID (i.e., Don't use the column prompt from the prompt tab within the Request.)
1) Create the dashboard prompt, put it on tab1 and save the prompt to a presentation variable, say prmtProdID. Set the scope to "dashboard." (This is the default, by the way.) If you create a dashboard prompt and set the scope to "dashboard," then the prompt values selected will hold true across dashboard pages.
2) On tab2, go to your report and in Criteria mode, apply a filter to the Product_ID column making it equal to the PV. (Click the filter icon, Add>Variable>Presentation Variable and type prmtProdID. Save.)
When the user selects a Product_ID on tab1 of your dashboard and hits "Go," not only will it filter your report on tab1, when you go to tab2 the report here will be filtered with the same value selected in the prompt on tab2.
Regarding Question 3:
If you implement 2, you cannot implement 3. You can't have it both ways. Not for the same scenario. But if you want to know how to do it in general, read this:

Dynamically change column heading without Dashboard Prompt

Hi All,
My requirement is change the column heading dynamically in a report. I have achieved this through setting the presentation variable to the dashboard prompt.
I have 5 columns in the dashboard prompt. Out of these 5 columns, I want to use only 1 column as dashboard prompt.
But still I want to dynamically change the column heading of the other 4 columns based on the only 1 column selected in the dashboard prompt.
Is there anyway to achieve this?

You need to have some logic to change other 4 columns based on 1 selected column.. where you want put that logic?
BTW: Check these

How to detect sessions that are currently running parallel queries?

Hi everyone,
How to detect session that are currently running parallel queries?
- The only way i can think of is querying pdml_Status from gv$session?
- Is there a better way to do this?
Follow up question:
After detecting sessions that are running parallel queries how do i identify which sessions are slaves of which session?

Start with V$PX_SESSION, however also take a look at V$PQ_* and V$PX_* tables.

How to unglue clips that are stuck together in the timeline

I've looked everywhere, I'm sure it's there but I can not find how to "unglue" clips that are stuck together in the timeline. NOT break apart clip items, but get rid of those pesky things that attach the different levels of video together. And BTW what the heck are those little claws called?
Thank you so very very much in advance!

You can't move tracks. Everything in the timeline has to be connected to the primary storyline at some point. Each clip that's connected can be connected individually so it's free floating and the connection point can be moved anywhere you want, or the clips can be strung togother and connected at a single point. You can Opt-Cmd-click to change the connection to a new location, but it has to be connected somehow.

How to create 'NOT in between' dashboard prompt on a column

Hello Guys,
I have a simple request where the dashboard prompt has to send in data for 'NOT in between'. OBIEE does not give this option by default..
Any one who tried this .. can you please help with some pointers on this.
Column1 less than 100 or greater than 2000 --> This condition has to be sent from the dashboard. So my option in SQL is to use NOT in between 100 and 2000.
Thanks in advance
Kris

Hi kris,
in the prompts you will have not between condition check out....if not write a SQL like this for the prompt
SELECT FROM table_name WHERE column_name not between 100 and 2000*
(OR)
SELECT FROM table_name WHERE column_name >= 100 AND column_name<= 2000*
you want values in that range then the SQL should be
SELECT FROM table_name WHERE column_name between 100 and 2000*
check this article
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/02/26/oracle-bi-ee-101332-between-prompts-for-date-columns-using-presentation-variables
UPDATED POST
in place of constant values play with your session variables or Presentation variables by writing this above SQL according to your requirment and you would get your solution.Give a try then comment is it working or not.
Hope answers your question.
Cheers,
KK

originally i am getting data as a date in the dashboard prompt.i want to change that to MON YYYY format.
can anybody tell me how can i change the original date format into MMM YYYY format

hi,
Try with evaluate function in prompt Fx use the following syntax
Re: Date function
Else, EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' AS CHARACTER ( 30 ), Date."Calendar Date", 'MON-YYYY')
What you are expecting to be in Prompt was it Mon-2009 right"?

How to Get Default Dates in Dashboard Prompts

i just want to select two dates by default on the Dashboard prompts.
Those two dates would be last day of the last quarter and last day of this quarter.
Any body please give me the select statement to pick those two dates(last day of last quarter and last day of current quarter)by default on the dashboard prompts?
Thanks in Advance

If you just want it once, then in the dashboard prompt "Default to" window, select "SQL Results" and enter this:
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN table.column ELSE TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_QUARTER,0, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, DAYOFMONTH(CURRENT_DATE)*-1,CURRENT_DATE)) END FROM "subject area"
UNION
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN table.column ELSE TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_QUARTER,1,TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, DAYOFMONTH(CURRENT_DATE)*-1,CURRENT_DATE)) END FROM "subject area" This will give as the default, the last day of the last quarter and the last day of the current quarter in your multi-select prompt.

TS2986 I keep getting the message that my HD is full, when I run the disk utility it appears that over 400 GB are in the "Other" section, how can I access that area to clean up?

Please help me to figure out how to clean up my HD. When I run the disk utility I get the following view:
As you can se 467.79 GB are in the "Other" section, but I cannot find a way to get to that and clean it up, please anyone out there How can I clean that up?

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB free for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved. ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To really see everything, you have to run it as root. Back up all data now if you haven't already done so. No matter what happens, you should be able to restore your system to the state it was in at the time of that backup. Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens. After installing ODS in the Applications folder, drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal.

How to set Default to in Dashboard Prompt from presentation variable value

Hi all BI Gurus,
I am trying to come out from my problem from last two days and I am not able to find the solution.
Here is my problem.
I am having two dashboard pages in one dashboard. Both pages contains dashboard prompt. Now from the first page’s prompt I had set a presentation variable and I want to use that presentation variable’s value in to prompt’ s default value which is used in my second dashboard page.
I am hoping I can do that with Server variable or variable expression, but don’t know the proper way. I tried a lot with both but not able to find the solution.
Could any help me please?
Regards,

Hi David,
Thanks for replying. I really appreciate it.
Yes I am using the same column.
Let me provide you more details regarding my problem,
I am having one dashboard prompt for gender and it's default value is 'Female' so I am assigning that value in to presentation variable PV_GENDER with set variable option in prompt.
Now in my second prompt which I am using on second page of same dashboard, I am trying to assign that value 'Female' ( or the one that user had selected ) with the help or that presentation variable PV_GENDER in Default to. I tried all options (e.g. Variable Expression, Server Variable, SQL Result ) but I am not able to get that value.
If you need more detail just let me know.
Once again thanks for replying.
