Hi Ali,
Can you write a Sql using the following thing:
Select Year_num from TimeDimension where Year_num In (2010,2011,2012)
Try above else... Select timedimension.year from time dimension where timedim.year in ( facttable.year_num)
step1: Select year from time dimension.
step2: column: year from time dimen , operator : is equal/is in , control: drop down, show: change her to sql results (Add where year in
(2010,2011,2012 ) , default: report defaults.
Above displayes 2010,2011,2012 as year options.
--- preview it should work

Column hiding based on Dashboard Prompt value in OBIEE 10g

Hi,
Can you please let me know, whether there is any possibility of "hiding the column based on the value selected in the Dashboard Prompt".
Your suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Siva

Hi,
Simple way to solve it.
Steps
1.) set presentation variable for each columns of your dashboard prompt
2.) edit your analysis of table/pivot view ---> colums formate header in this place just keep it your presentation variable values like below
E.x
@{ccy}
Then save it and then test out

How to get prompt value in Financial Reporting and use it as header

Hi Oracle Gurus,
I have Hyperion Financial Reporting 11.1.1.3. I created a report.
I have Products dimension on rows. And I also have prompt for Products.
Let's say there is 3 products, Product A, B, and C, with each has its own level 0 item (for example A1, A2, B1, C1)
Currently in my situation, user will be prompted to select a list of Products, and then the report will display only the level 0 of the product chosen by the user. For example, user select Product A, then the report (or the grid) will display A1 and A2 on rows. User select Product B, B1 will be displayed.
My question is, I want to create a dynamic header report, so how can I get this prompt value and use it as a report header? For example: Sales of Product A when user choose Product A, or Sales of Product B when user choose Product B.
Thanks a lot for your response.

Hi,
Here is the possible way to achieve it:
1. Insert a row (may be as row 1) in the report which has product as "User prompt".
2. mark this row as hidden always
3. User other rows as level0 of product in row 1
4. Use MEMBERALIAS in your header to use product as dimension & row as row1
Hope it helps !!

How to pass prompt value to columns with formula?

Hello guys
I have a situation:
I have a report with 1 column name 'product' and in this column it has a case statement like 'case when item is ('a','b','c','d') then 'Men' else 'women' end'
Then I have created a dashboard prompt of the exact same column, and I defined the same case statement in the prompt's column formula as the same.. Then I tested the prompt and it is returning only 2 values 'men', 'women'..
However, when putting the prompt and report on the same dashboard, the report is not accepting the prompt values..
Then I set the presentation variable on the prompt and call it 'Product', then in the report I created a filter on 'product' column as equal to presentation variable 'product'--- I tried with and without single quotes.. So the filter itself looks like : case when ...... is equal to / is in @{product}
However, when I then return back to the dashboard, I am getting the error:
State: HY000. Code: 388918336. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27005] Unresolved column: "Product". (HY000)
Could anyone help?
Thanks

Hola
is possible that are you using a BINS agrupation into the Column Formula?
if you form a CASE statement using a Bins agrupation, in the column Formula, this must be disabled to match statements between columns and DB Prompt
if you are using a BINS agrupation to form the CASE statement, you have to delete the bins agrupation in the Column but keep the CASE statement

Restricting dashboard prompt values in obiee 11g

Hi All,
I have a requirement to restrict the length of the dasboard prompt value to min of # characters.
Please let me know if you have any idea (JScript).

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg622942%28v=VS.85%29.aspx
Basically, IE9 breaks flash ExternalInterface calls if your flash component is embedded with an object tag with an embed tag fallback, and the object id and embed name is the same.
The easiest workaround is to tell ie9 to render your page in IE8 Standards mode. To do this, insert this in the element:
 <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" >
Otherwise, you might just want to use the object tag only or embed tag only.

How to Return a value to a 10g Oracle Form form a Web Service Call

I've read the demo available from Oracle, 'Calling a Web service from Oracle Forms', that shows how to invoke a call to a Web Service from a Form. The demo only shows how to do a call and how to display messages. I've done some searching, but can't seem to find any examples of how to return a value from the call into a field on the form. If any one could provide an example of that, I would greatly appreciate it.
We are in the process of modifing a form and we would like to use a webservice, which we have never done before. We have created a webservice which calculates a value based upon what is entered on the form and we want to pass that calculated value back to a field on the form.
This is the code provided by the demo to do a call.
DECLARE
jo ora_java.jobject;
xo ora_java.jobject;
rv varchar2(100);
ex ora_java.jobject;
BEGIN
JO := SendServiceSoapClient.new;
RV := SendServiceSoapClient.sendMessage(JO,:BLOCK3.PHONE_NUMBER, :BLOCK3.MESSAGE_BODY, xo, xo);
EXCEPTION
WHEN ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR then
message('Unable to call out to Java, ' ||ORA_JAVA.LAST_ERROR);
WHEN ORA_JAVA.EXCEPTION_THROWN then
ex := ORA_JAVA.LAST_EXCEPTION;
message(Exception_.toString(ex));
END;

In the future, please be sure to include the exact product versions you are using. In this case, also be sure to include the java versions you are using to build your java code.

How To retain Session Value in OBIEE

I have a requirement to pass session variable from one page to next page in the dashboard.
Requirement :
In Presentation Part:
Prompt : Column1: Year
Column2: Quarter
I have to pass the Value selected in the dashboard prompt to the repository. To achieve this, I have stored the Year and Quarter Column value in 2 Request variables from the prompt.
Request Variable1 : VarYear stores Year Value selected
Request Variable2 : VarQuarter stores Quarter Value selected
In Repository Part:
1. I have created 02 session variables in repository with the same name as : VarYear and VarQuarter
2. Under the Intitialization Block of Both Variables I have written a dummy Query as
'SELECT PER_NAME_ENT_YEAR FROM W_DAY_D WHERE PER_NAME_ENT_QTR IS NOT
NULL'
3. Checked the Box to 'Enable any user to set the value' for both the session variables.
4. Used the session variable to pass as a filter under the content tab of the LTS of Revenue Measure as follows:
'"Oracle Data Warehouse".Catalog.dbo.Dim_W_DAY_D.PER_NAME_ENT_YEAR = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."VarYear") AND "Oracle Data Warehouse".Catalog.dbo.Dim_W_DAY_D.PER_NAME_ENT_QTR = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."VarQuarter")'
Resolution : The session variables from the prompt is passing properly to the RPD and returning the result as expected for the current page(Both Prompt and the Report are in same page where I used the measure Revenue which is getting filtered in the LTS on the basis of Quarter & Year under Content Tab).
Reuirement2 With Issue :
I have to navigate from one page to another on click of Revenue measure value. The target page also contain the same Revenue measure as in First page. But On navigating from one page to another page the session value is getting lost and passing the by default value coming from the Session Initialization block insted of the value selected in the prompt.
As per my understanding the session value should not be replaced untill a user log out from the application. But in my case for First page where I have both Promt and the Revenue measure the Prompt value is passing properly but When I am moving to second page where I have only the Revenue measure the session value which is already set early is replaced by Session IB query result.
Please suggest me if there is any resolution for my issue.
Thanks a Lot in advance.
:)

I've had this issue myself and here is what i found. The only way I could get it to work was to have the Prompts that populate the Session Variables on the pages. In other words if I had the prompt on one page and then used guided navigation to go to another dashboard page I needed to have the same prompts located on that page for the session values to get passed into. Since in my case I didn't want the prompts to display or the User to know I had to add Dashboard prompts in order to captures the passed Session Variable values, I placed the dashboard prompts for my Session Variables in a separate section and then hid that section from the User. I hid the section by selecting Properties - Custom CSS Style Options (HTML Only) and then clicked on the check box for Use Custom CSS Style. In the text box enter display:none which will cause the section to be hidden from the User. The prompts will then exist on the dashboard page to receive the session values and the User will never know it is there.
Hopefully this helps.

How to display Prompt values in Narrative

Using 11.1.1.6.2
Within a dashboard page I have a table with a dimension hierarchy for organization. If you click a division it runs an action link to call a browser script (javascript in a text section on the dashboard) passing the division. If you expand the division and click a market it calls the same javascript function.
The Javascript function then uses Go Path to refresh an analysis within an iFrame on the dashboard page and passes either the Division value or the Market value.
The target analysis has two filters: Division is prompted and Market is prompted.
So after all that my question is how could I display the two passed values from the Go Path call in a narrative on the target analysis? Or I guess the alternative question is how to display the filter values on the narrative.
Sorry for the long explanation, but hopefully this makes sense.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
Brad

Use @n to include the results from the designated column in the narrative. For example, @1 inserts the results from the first column
Assuming you want to show the selected value for Division from prompt.
Add Division column in the report criteria and call it @1, where 1 is position of Division column
You may hide the Division column from report, if you dont have to show in the report

Multiselect & Drop-down Prompt usage in Obiee 10g

Hi all,
A prompt is created using the same column twice.
First prompt,say Cust name with drop-down as option and it is set to constraint.
Second prompt Cust name created with Multi-select as option for the user to select.
When I select particular values from the multiselected option prompt, those values are reflected in drop-down listed prompt. This is working fine.
But when I choose values using begins with option in the multiselect prompt(Eg: Inside the multiselect dialog, first i'm filtering the values as cust name begins with AR), then it is not reflected in the Drop-down prompt.
My expectation is that it should get reflected whether the user chooses with/without search option in the multiselect dialog.
Guys, pl share your ideas....
regards,
arul

First of all, proof read your post. Generally, grammatical and punctuation errors can be deciphered, but where words are critical to presenting your issue clearly, you must type those sentences correctly. Otherwise, it can be confusing and turn off someone who may want to help.
"...which can be shown without and filters and want data for current year." What does this mean?
"...And weeks columns have to update its week no based on that week." What does this mean?
In an attempt to answer you question, do this:
1) Base your query filters on the "current running year." This will satisfy the requirements for displaying data from the first report.
2) Now add 4 "sales" columns (i.e., same column, but 4 instances of it). In each of these columns, click on the fx button, click on Filters, go to your Time dimension and select the appropriate week, and then click "OK." Now, each of these columns will hold the measure value for the particular week while the "sales" column will have the "running total" for the whole time period.
Once you get the above to work, you can work on automating this by substituting a function in place of the hard-coded week number values.
