How to pass values to dashboard prompts from external applications

Any idea is well appreciated.
How can I pass values of dashboard prompts from external applications to the dashboard prompts so that the dashboard is prefiltered based on values sent by external applications.
Thanks in Advance!
Kris

Kris,
i am able to change the session variable and able to call the dashboard from external app, but i identified prompt value not changing. but Finally i am able to found a workaround for you.
Use the following URL and it explained here
http://localhost:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&nquser=Administrator&nqpassword=Administrator&PortalPath=/shared/abcd/_portal/dash1&Options=rmf&DSN=madan
PortalPath is your dashboard location. /shared/abcd is folder where i saved dashboards. dash1 is my dashboard name.
internally this dashboard includes many reports that uses the session variable. after doing above this i am able to update the session variable to the value i have given in URL, DSN=value.
You may observer here that calls the dashboard and passes the value but its not updating the prompt value. so workaround for this is edit your prompt,
change the Default to - SQL Results and place the sql
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN Markets.Region ELSE VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.DSN) END saw_0 FROM Paint
again here Market.Region is column from presentation layer and Paint is subject area. After doing this step, your prompt always shows value in the session varible as default.
Now include reports and dashboard prompt in the dashboard and run this url from external applicaitons.
http://localhost:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&nquser=Administrator&nqpassword=Administrator&PortalPath=/shared/abcd/_portal/dash1&Options=rmf&DSN=madan
it worked for me and blog this soon. if it works for you mark the question as answered and mark my replies as correct.
thanks

How to get value in dashboard prompt from database

Hi All,
I am using dashboard prompt (Year Prompt) to filter reports on year basis.
fact table stores the hit date on a particular site linked with date dimension table .
I have Datas in fact table say from year 2005 to 2009 .In dashboard Prompt it is showing me all the years 1990 to 2021(that are in date dimension).
I hard coded the value of years in prompt now it only showing me years 2005 to 2009.
My question is that is their any way that prompt automatically take values from database, those years which are stored in fact table ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi...
Try writing query for dashboard prompt to get desired values..
*select distinct year(FactTable.HitDate) from SubjectAreaName*
To work this.. you should have HitDate column in presentation layer. (You can drag this column from fact in BMM and drop in any dimensions of presentation Layer, and name it as HitDate (Fact).. some thing like this...

How to pass values of the prompt through Action Link - URL in 11g

Hi All,
I am in OBIEE 11g v6.
Let's say, I have two dashbaord pages P1 and P2.
P1 page contains
1. Prompt PR1 - containing a single column EmpName
2. Report R1
P2 page contains
1. Prompt PR2 - containing a single column EmpName (same column as in PR1)
2. Report R2
Requirement :
Let's say a user select a value = David from the EmpName column in prompt PR1. In the Report R1, on one the measure columns 'Sales', I am using an action link - Navigate to URL ( I can't use Navigate to BI Content for some reasons). In the URL, I am giving the URL to page P2. Can I pass the selected value (which is David) to the EmpName column of the Prompt PR2 of Page P2 so that Report R2 is automatically limited by David when I land on that page through the URL?
Few things to consider are, I can't use EmpName column in my report R1 on page P1, I just want to pass the value of a common column from one prompt on Page1 to another prompt on Page2. Is that possible. Can anybody please help?
Thanks,
Ronny

Hmm can you give a try one more time with
Add EmpName name and hide it on report R1 on page P1
and set EmpName as Is Prompted on report R2 on page P2 and with my earlier steps should work.
Other option is read this doc once that helps you how to pass value thru url.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21043_01/bi.1111/e16364/apiwebintegrate.htm#z1005224
You need to have a EmpName as Is Prompted on report R2 on page P2

Passing Values to Dashboard Prompt

Hi Gurus,
I have a summary Dashboard page with summary report and prompt build on Summary table , and i have a detail dashboard page contains Detail report and prompt same as Summary but these prompts are from Dimension tables and report from fact and Dimension.
The requirement is Once i click some value in Summary dashboard it has to pass the values to Detail dashboard ( Means Passing the values to Dashboard prompt) and show the result in detail.
As i cant use the OBIEE navigation logic to pass the values as prompts columns are not from same table. So i thought to use the GO URL this also i cant use as i am using Pivot table in Summary report. I thought to use Summary prompt in the detail Dashboard and create a dummy reports based on the prompt and resultant value pass to the Detail reports. I am able get the values but i am not getting proper answer. I dont no why .
Is i am doing correct ? i know its not elegant way. If some one give me tip or direction that will be great help.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Ali

If you are attempting to pass a value from one table1.column1 to another table2.column2 where the two do not match then you will need to use a presentation variable to hold the value. You can populate the variable using a hidden dashboard prompt that has the table1.table2 and read the value into a variable. You can then use this variable to filter the table2.column2

How to pass values one by one from Multiline container in workflows

Hi,
I have used a structure in my workflow as multiline container.
I want to pass values 1 by 1 to the workflow but not all the three values..so how do i pass the values 1 by 1 rather all at a time..
kindly suggest me
Thanks,
Shanky

Hi,
Create a new container with type I and set the initial value as 1. EX : Index.
Pass your Multi-line container and this index container to a new method. Get the multi line container data's into an internal table
and read the data based on the index and append the data's to a new multiline container.
Second time increment the index container by 1. So now the value of index container will be 2.
Pass the multiline container value and index to method. now it will read the second record from the internal table.
Call the method using the loop step type.
Thanks,
Viji.

Passing large number of values to a WebI prompt from external application

Hello all,
BIt of a strange request this!
I need to abuse the OpenDocument function and pass A LOT of prompt values into a webi report.
The users can select hundreds/thousands of records in an external web based application and click to open a BO WebI report which needs to refresh restricting on the records selected by the user in the other application.
If I do this with OpenDocument i can pass so many values in a list that I'll exceed the limits of the URL length (although I think opendoc itself is shorter than this limit).
So I'm hitting the same limit as these guys...
http://bembengarifin.wordpress.com/2009/02/19/business-objects-opendocument-api-url-length-limitation-gotcha/
Anyone got any ideas?
Was thinking of programatically accessing the document via SDK and adding restrictions or possibly changing open doc to use a POST function... but any ideas on if this would work or any other options?
Cheers,
Jez

Hi Jeremy,
No solution, but a warning note...
I'm afraid that even if you pass the hurdle of the URL length,
you will hit the limit of the in list() number of values on the database side.
So I would go for storing the selected list in the database.
Then you can either create a predefined filter to select the records using the contents of the table,
or bring in the table in the structure, create object and use these to create the where condition in the report.
Needless to say you will probably want to limit this table to just the records from a specific user,
but you stand a better chance of getting to a working solution then the road you're thinking of traveling.
Hope this helps,
Marianne

Passing values to session variables from another application

Hi,
From an external application we are passing username and password for accessing the OBIEE Dashboard.In the url call we are passing NQUser and NQPassword. This is working fine.
To setup data level security we need to pass region id list also as request object. Then we can filter the tables by the value in the region id list for that user. If we use external table to pass the home_id list then the application is working fine by setting up row-wise init block. But we need request object from an external application to send the list. How can we accept the list from OBIEE RPD?
In the documentation it mentions about session variables - non system. But it requires an init block. How can we create a variable that accepts the values when user logins just like NQUser and NQPassword.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

Yes, this absolutely possible. You can get the details from the Web Services guide since it has all the necessary examples and more explanation. Thats why i did not include it in the blog. You can get it from page 213 of the Docs http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B40078_02/doc/bi.1013/b31766.pdf

Passing values to APEX items from external site

All,
Is it possible to pass values to APEX page items from an external web site?
For example, I have an external web site where users type in a username and password into fields. When they click the 'log-in' button in the external site, I would like to have those values passed to the APEX log-in page. If possible, I would like to have the APEX log-in occur 'invisibly' and the user taken directly to the home page of the app. If that's not possible, it would be nice to simply have the 'user name' and 'password' fields filled in on the APEX side.
I'm using APEX 3.0.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Alex

Hello Alex,
>> Is it possible to pass values to APEX page items from an external web site?
The general answer is yes. You can use the f?p syntax to set the value of any APEX item - http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32472_01/doc/appdev.300/b32471/concept.htm#sthref185 .
In your specific example, the main question should be is it wise? The mere fact that you are using a login process suggests you have something to protect in your application. The f?p syntax uses a plain text for the items’ value, which means that the user name and password will be completely exposed.

Arie.

How to access TestStand Event and variables from external application?

Hi all
The test system was built by TestStand, now there is a new requirement to filter the test report without change the sequence file. The task must be done without any impact to previous software system, so I decide to write a tool by VC++.
My idea is to deal with the reports after every UUT loop, but I need to monitor the UUT loop status by VC++, if an unit is tested, pass or fail, raise a event and pass to VC++ application. In a word, I would like to access TestStand internal event and variables.
Anyone has ideal on this case? ActiveX or something.
thanks .

paulbin,
While sharing variables via COM or DCOM is certaintly possible, I don't think you need to go down that route. I think that there is probably an easier way to limit your report. In your Configuration menu, under the Report Options item, there is a field at the top that will allow you to filter what steps go into your report.
This will not affect any sequence file you may have already created, all it does is change a few options in the ReportOptions.ini file in the <TestStand>\cfg directory.
This is a much simpler option than trying to write a program to interface with a running TestStand engine.

How to passing value into Captivate from html?

How to passing value into Captivate from html?
Or
How to communicate between objects in one slides?

Hi czhao0378 and welcome to the forums!
Captivate does not natively allow you to communicate your own
data, either internally or externally. The only way to make this
happen is to create your own functionality, either via custom-built
Flash objects or JavaScript code executed in the browser or a
combination of both.
The only example I've seen of any "data passing" inside
Captivate is a custom text input/output solution that was posted on
the Captivate Developer Exchange:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us&extid=1253 021
This solution consists of an input box that takes information
from the user on one slide and a second box that displays that
information on another slide. The functionality was built in Flash
and is embedded in Captivate as a Flash "animation". Unfortunately,
since this is a custom functionality, the information is not
included in the user completion results Captivate can pass to a
Learning Management System.
Since the solution mentioned above relies on a Flash
Actionscript variable to hold the information that is displayed,
you can also pass the information from HTML to Captivate using the
"SetVariable" command in JavaScript. This would at least allow you
to display your own HTML-based data inside Captivate.
Beyond that, I'm not aware of any other way to gather and
pass data in Captivate.

How to call & pass values to custom page from seeded page table region

Hi All,
can anyone tell me how to call & pass values to custom page from seeded page table region(Attribute is not available in seeded page VO)
it is urgent. plssss
Regards,
purna

Hi,
Yes, we do this by extending controller, but you can also try this without extending controller.
1. Create Submit Button on TableRN using personalization.
2. Set "Destination URI" property to like below
OA.jsp?page=/<yourname>/oracle/apps/ak/employee/webui/EmpDetailsPG&employeeNumber={@EmployeeId}&employeeName={@EmployeeName}&retainAM=Y&addBreadCrumb=Y
Give your custom page path instead of EmpDetailsPG.
EmployeeId and EmployeeName are VO attributes(Table Region)
If you dont have desired attribute in VO, then write logic in your custom page controller to get required value using parameters passed from URL path.
In this case, only personalization will do our job. Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Venkat Y.

How to pass values to Oracle store procedure in Crystal Report

Hi all,
I am newbie on passing values to stored procedure parameters. I created a Crystal Report using the Crystal Report wiward with PULL method and data come from Oracle stored procedure. In an ASP.NET page, I have stored two values in Session and need to pass them as input parameters to Oracle stored procedure to print the report. In Crystal reports 2010 once you connect to a stored-procedure as data source, it automatically creates the parameter fields with Crytal Report Viewer. Please show me how I pass values to store procedure at runtime automatically.
        'Set the parametter value
        myReport.SetParameterValue("@P_COURSE", "CoursetNo")
        myReport.SetParameterValue("@P_CLASS", "ClassNo")
    End Sub
I tried to apply above codes from Brian Bischof book but display the error from the following lines:
        myReport.SetParameterValue("@P_COURSE", "CoursetNo")
        myReport.SetParameterValue("@P_CLASS", "ClassNo")
I also enclosed my code. Any experts, please let me know anything wrongs on my code . I tried several methods that searching via google, but did not solve my issues. Thanks.

How to pass values at runtime in JDBC - XI - File scenario

Hi friends,
In my scenario, data is coming from R/3 and i need to filter records from oracle database based on this data. There are 4 database tables that need to be queried using 2 select statements. The resultset after the execution of query will be mapped to the target flat file structure.
here are my queries:
1) Can I avoid BPM as data needs to be collected from the two database calls which involves two sender JDBC adapter instances with only one target structure?
2) Can I use stored procedure in this scenario? If yes, than how to pass values to stored procedure at runtime via sender JDBC adapter.
Thanks and regards,
Nitin aggarwal.

Hi Nitin,
"..So i want to know if i can write multiple select statements in the stored procedure.."
Read the below line that is mentioned in the SAP help documentation fro Sender JDBC adapter:-
<i>Specify an SQL EXECUTE statement to execute a stored procedure, which contains exactly one SELECT statement.</i>
I dont think it can be achieved...but there must be some workaround for this. You can probably use a join statement.
Read this, again from the documentation:-
<i>The expression must correspond to the SQL variant supported by the relevant JDBC driver. It can also contain table JOINs.</i>

Sushumna

Constraining Values in Dashboard Prompts

Hi,
I have a question about constraining values in dashboard prompts. Do all fields need to come from the same table as I am finding constraining values is not working where I am selecting some values from different tables:
For example
Start Date - Fact Table
End Date - Fact Table
Salesperson - Org Dim
Market - Org Dim
Introducer - Org Dim
Customer - Org Dim
I am trying to constrain values beginning from Salesperson and so on but this does not work.
Is this the expected behaviour? should all values be retrieved from the same table in order for this to work?
Thanks

Hi,
Below is the filter I am applying in the report:
"Agreement Fact"."Prop Creation Date" >= Evaluate('to_date(%1,%2)','@{startdate}','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')
and "Agreement Fact"."Prop Creation Date2" <= Evaluate('to_date(%1,%2)','@{enddate}','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')
and Organisation.Market = '@{market}'
and Organisation."Sales Person Name" = '@{salesperson}'
and Organisation."Introducer Name" = '@{introducer}'
and Organisation."Customer Name" = '@{customer}'
I have selected constrain in the report from salesperson onwards but instead when I run the dashboard report the values beginning with salesperson do not show.
I definitely know that data exists for the date parameters(startdate and enddate) and market parameter. I have run a report in answers using the same parameters as in dashboard and do see data.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
