Hi Naresh,
Have you tried to use the CAST function?
CAST(@{test}{123} as char)
With the above column Formula in Answers Request I can able to view the result 123, which is the default value specified the presentation variable 'test'.
Hope this will helps you..

How to create Presentation variable for columns and to use it in Narrative?

Hi All,
Anybody know how to create presentation variable for a column (i.e., i need to create it in edit formula section itself). And then, I should use it in Narrative section to display that column value. Is it possible? Or do i need to use any other variable for this requirement? If so please let me know, how to create it? This is very urgent requirement.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Satya,
I just want to create a table that should horizontally display the values like below:
     SUID Tag # :123456               Year Mfg: 2007
     Description: computer corporation FA ID#: 4576
     Model Number: 4569 hESC: #ert
     Serial Number: 78945 Flags: c
Department: Hematology
User: thenmozhi
Database: OLAP
I think we can create this type of report using either Narrative or Static Text. But I am not sure whether it is possible or not? And also another thing is that sectioning is applied for SUID Tag # column. So, depending on the dashboard prompt if the SUID Tag # retrieves two or more values.
Then the first value for example 123456     and the values for the other columns related to this SUID Tag # value should display in the first page (i.e., page 1). And if the next value of the SUID Tag # for example say 678901 then the values should move to second page that is like this:
     SUID Tag # :678901               Year Mfg: 2008
     Description: Computer Manufacturing FA ID#: 4577
     Model Number: 4570 hESC: #eth

How to pass Presentation Variable Value from Main Report to Detail Report

Hello,
I've 2 reports that is attached to each other. In my main report i've several report prompts and i am using i"s prompted" on my detail report to attach them.
But 2 of my report prompts are presentation variables(Names : FIRST, SECOND). Both are in date format. I've a filter in my main report like;
"ASSIGNMENTS_F"."EFFECTIVE_START_DATE" BETWEEN @{FIRST} AND {SECOND}
It works fine when i run the main report. But when i click on the numbers, i see that i can not filter my detail report with the chosen values for 2 presentation variables. It just shows all the dates.
I've tried adding both presentation variables in both reports as columns and adding 'is prompted' filter to them. But did not work either.
I just cant pass the written values for presentation variable prompts to detail report..
Please help :)

Hi,
What you can try is refer the filte condition in the main report to the detailed report with the option--> Filter based on another request.
Or you try creating another intermediate report which will refer the main report filters and pass the filters to the detailed report.
Hope this helps.

How to pass presentation variable with enclosing single quotes

HI All,
As all of you know in 11g, Presentation variable can hold more than one value.So we can pass multiple values to the report through presentation variable.
If we select x,y,z values from prompt drop down,then those values will be stored like x,y,z in the presentation variable.
but I would like to store these values with enclosing single quotes like 'x,y,z'
The reason is I need to pass this variable value as input to BI Publisher sql dataset query where clause.
Please share your Ideas.
Thanks,
Aravind

How to cast an object in JSF?

I am working on a travel application. A user can have several bookings and a booking can have several components. A component can be either air or hotel. I want to list the user's bookings on the client using JSF datatable.
<h:dataTable var="component" value="#{booking.components}">
Now depending upon the class of component I need to present different information.
My question is how to cast the variable in JSF ?
Thanks

You can use the String value of Object#getClass()#getName() to lookup the classname and evaluate it in the 'rendered' attribute.
Basic example:
package mypackage;
public class Animal {}
package mypackage;
public class Cat extends Animal {}
package mypackage;
public class Dog extends Animal {}
package mypackage;
public class Fish extends Animal {}MyBeanpublic List<Animal> getList() {
    List<Animal> animals = new ArrayList<Animal>();
    animals.add(new Dog());
    animals.add(new Cat());
    animals.add(new Fish());
    return animals;
}JSF<h:dataTable value="#{myBean.list}" var="item">
    <h:column>
        <h:outputText value="It's a Cat" rendered="#{item.class.name == 'mypackage.Cat'}" />
        <h:outputText value="It's a Dog" rendered="#{item.class.name == 'mypackage.Dog'}" />
        <h:outputText value="It's a Fish" rendered="#{item.class.name == 'mypackage.Fish'}" />
    </h:column>
</h:dataTable>As far there is no way to cast objects in JSF.
Edit
If you find it useful, move the classname request to the superclass:
public class Animal {
    public String getType() {
        String className = getClass().getName();
        return className.substring(className.lastIndexOf('.') + 1);
}Which makes life easier without struggling with package names:<h:outputText value="It's a Cat" rendered="#{item.type == 'Cat'}" />
<h:outputText value="It's a Dog" rendered="#{item.type == 'Dog'}" />
<h:outputText value="It's a Fish" rendered="#{item.type == 'Fish'}" />Message was edited by:

Presentation Variables Date Format

Hi,
I have a direct sql request that uses date presentation variables via a dashboard prompt:
Direct SQL:
select id, customer
from test
where date between @startdate and @enddate
If I enter startdate '31/03/2013 00:00:00' in the dashboard prompt selection:
OBIEE converts the above query into database date format:
'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'
The database is in date format DD-MON-YYY, this results in error ORA-01861: literal does not match format string
can anyone help with where the date format should be set?
Thanks

There are different levels of users on this forum so you need to be more specific and provide examples to novice users....I want user to think on given hints and fix by himself instead of detailed with examples, this would help user to learn and think in new dimensions instead of depending on any one.
Sometimes I'll be responding more detail based on their registered date with OTN and # posts posted.
in your case my hint not fired!! so no full points ;)

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.

I am having a situation as below:

Once the user selects a particular Month and year, that particular month's end date should be defined as a presentation variable. (For example, if the user selects 'September' and 2011 then '30-sep-2011' should be the presentation variable).
I dont want the Month End Date to be a part of the prompt.
Please suggest.

How to make use of the presentation variable in SQL result query

I have 2 prompts in my dashboard.
Prompt1 decides the values of Prompt2.
I have set a presentation Variable (selected_comp) in prompt1 which holds the value selected.
To populate the values for Prompt2, I need to execute a query using the presenation variable set by Prompt1.
SELECT "List Of Values".RID from rocketv2_3 WHERE "List Of Values".NAME='COMPONENT' AND "List Of Values".VAL=@{selected_comp}
the query is resulting into
SQL Issued: SELECT "List Of Values".RID from rocketv2_3 WHERE "List Of Values".NAME='COMPONENT' AND "List Of Values".VAL=0
but the value in selected_comp is "ABC".
Can anybody help in how to make use of the presentation variable in query to get the correct value
thanks

Just use constrain check box to filter your 2nd prompt values based on the 1st prompt.

How to pass a presentation variable to a stored procedure?

Hi All,
We have a complex security model to emulate. In order to achieve that, we need to find a way for OBI to run and pass parameter to a stored procedure (SP).
"APlus_BI_EmplName2" is the name of the stored procedure.
This SP requires a param and can be run in toad for SQL as : - exec APlus_BI_EmplName2 @ empno
here is one example:- exec APlus_BI_EmplName2 128807
It will result in empno, empname (128807,Looney VALERIE).
Also, I have made a sample report on the Dashboard.Here i'm capturing a employee number via a dropdown in a presentation variable ( "empno") which i would like to pass to the stored procedure... just a way of testing that a variable/param can be passed to SP...
Can anybody tell how to achieve the same?

How to subtract a day from the presentation variable @{system.currentTime}

Hello,
How can subtract a day from the presentation variable - @{system.currentTime}
I use the above as a title in the report. However I want to subtract a day from the above variable. How can I accomplish it?
Thanks.

Hi,
Did you try the steps which I mentioned above. You can use TIMESTAMPADD function in many places in your report but I think not in title section of the title view.
Also you can try using Narrative view instead of title view to achieve this. Follow below steos:
* Pull another column in the report and change its fx to TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -1, @{system.currentTime})
* Now go to the Narrative view and add the below text in Narrative section of the view.
Active Person Report as of @1
Here @1 assuming the new column created is placed before all the columns in the request.
* Also set the 'Rows to Display' as 1.
* Delete Title view from the report and this narrative view on top of your report.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
