How to show all records (instead of unique records) in OBIEE Answers

I am a newbie of OBIEE and have below question.
The fact table has 3 fields:
ID (Primary Key)
Status (either 'open' or 'close')
Amount
There are 100 records in the fact table. When I drag the column Status into the Answers, the result returned is 2 records, 'open' and 'close'. Thus, seems Answers always returns unique records only.
Can I achieve disabling such Answers feature such that all records will be shown? For above example, can the result returned all 100 records of either 'open' or 'close' ??
Thank you very much.

Hi,
OBIEE is an analytical tool, it is there to help people see the value of numeric facts against one or more textual attributes. With that in mind OBIEE will always aggregate to the highest possible level when returning the results to you. In your case the highest level is status. If you include another column wich breaks the data down further then you will see it aggregated at that level. If you want to see individual records then you need to add a column which is unique for each record, usually you can use the column holding the identifier of the row from the source system, generally this is called Integration Id.
Edit: After reading your post again, just add the ID column in your request and voila.
Regards,
Matt

How to show "ALL" Values by default in Page Drop-Down Lists in Pivot Tables

Hi Everyone,
Iam stuck with 1 problem please can any 1 help me if u know the solution.
Here is my problem:
How to show "ALL" Values by default in Page Drop-Down Lists in Oracle BI Pivot Tables?
For example, if you place Region in the pages area, a Region drop-down list allows the user to select a particular region, and see the data for only that region, rather than seeing all the Regions,But by default its not showing "ALL" option in the drop down list ,rather than doing that its showing result for only 1 region by default.
And an other problem with this pages area is, if we palce the multiple attributes in the Pages area in the pivot table, the (Fields)result is showing in vertically, the attributes 1 by 1(Every attribute in a new line) ,rather than showing like that, is there any way to show the results in horizantally?(We want to have it as a seperate drop drown list for every field horizantally not as a concatenated list).

Thanks Nikhil. But I am fetching the values from the LOVCache.java.
I am using <af:selectManyChoice>. Is there any way I can use LOVCache.java value for selecting default values instead of hard coding?
I mean to say can I write
unselectedLabel="#{LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList.anyValue}"
where LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList is used to populate the drop down box.

How to show all view tab (Main Report and all Sub Report) in Visual FoxPro 9

I use ActiveX from Crystal Report Developer XI for viewer in Visual FoxPro 9 and I already know how to show Main Report by using command:
oRptRun=createobject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
oRptView=thisform.oleRptViewer
oRptOpen=oRptRun.OpenReport('MyReport.rpt')
oRptView.ReportSource=oRptOpen
oRptView.ViewReport
Inside the MyReport.rpt there is two subreport name :
1. MySubReport1
2. MySubReport2
My Question is :
How to show all view tab (Main Report and all Sub Report) at the 1st time we call ViewReport?
I try to using command :
oRptRun=createobject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
oRptView=thisform.oleRptViewer
oRptOpen=oRptRun.OpenReport('MyReport.rpt')
oRptSub=oRptOpen.OpenSubreport("MySubReport1")
oRptSub=oRptOpen.OpenSubreport("MySubReport2")
oRptView.ReportSource=oRptOpen
oRptView.ViewReport
but only show Main Report (view tab name : Preview)?
Did I miss any command before I call oRptView.ViewReport?

Your right, there is only one tab to view the report.
To open the subreports you will need to click on them in the main report. I don't know of a way to open them programmatically like you are doing here

How to show all the search result in a report page

I have a report page which the user can enter first or last name to find the matched employees. The current report only show maximum of 15 matched results. How to show all of them in one page if more than 15.
Also, the employee name on the report is a link, how to make the link to be conditional. ( I mean it can be a link or not based on another column)
Thanks.
Jen

Hi, you can change the number of rows on the report definition page (15 is the default value)- that's also where you can change pagination and max. number of rows etc.
About the second question - you will have to use Case or Decode in your report query and have the value as link or not based on the condition column, something like:
Select Decode(condition_column, 'link_value', '<a href="f?p=YOUR_APP:PAGE_TO_LINK_TO:' || :SESSION || ':::::">display_column</a>' , display_column) From .....
Hope this helps.

Thanks. That solved it. I had my doubts since I wasn't concerned about my lost bookmarks. I was concerned about the broken functionality. In any event, restoring from a backup solved both the functionality and the lost bookmarks. I appreciate the response!

PSE 7 Organizer shows all pictures instead of the selected ones

When i make a selectin in the organizer it will always show all pictures instead of only the selection. This also happens when i create a smart photoalbum, it includes all photo's. It only adds a "not-selected sign" to the photo, but it will still show.

Are the photos with the red circle-slash icon in stacks or version sets? See this FAQ:

How to show all the user entry variables in a workbook.

Hi,
My user need to see in the workbook all variables he had entered in the variable entry popup at the openning of the workbook.
I know how to show all the variables, included the hardcoded variable in the query (with a text element, select the checkbox "Display All Statics Filters"), but I need only the user entry variables.
There is a way to print only these variables?
Thank you

Thanks, but the problem is that this workbook is my Global default workbook used for all the queries. So I only want the user entry variables visible automaticly.
There is a way to do that ?
For information, i'm using Netweaver 7.
Thank you

How to show all records by default on search result page?

Hi
I am trying to make a search page that would execute the search in the database based on one or more field constraints.
(Using MySQL,PHP)
I have 2 columns in the database "vm_ip" (primary key) <IP address>, "Operating_System" <Any, Windows, Solaris, AIX>
need to search vm_ip based on other two fields.
PROBLEM: Need to show all the record when I select "Any" in the Operating_System drop down menu.
<p>Operating System:
    <select name="os_select" id="os_select">
    <?php
$os_count=1;
foreach($os_type as $value) //(os_type is array with possible values of OS)
echo "<option value=".$os_count.">".$value."</option>";
    $os_count++;
?>
      <option value=" " selected="selected">Any</option>
    </select>
</p>
this code POSts NULL value to the search page.
Below code is of recordset on search page
$varOS_virtual = "Operating_System"; // recordset variable set to same as column name (default value)
if (isset($_POST['os_select'])) //this should not be true
$varOS_virtual = $_POST['os_select'];
mysql_select_db($database_xyz_db, $xyz_db);
$query_virtual = sprintf("SELECT table.VM_IP FROM table
WHERE table.Operating_System=%s", GetSQLValueString($varOS_virtual, "int"));
$virtual = mysql_query($query_virtual, $xyz_db) or die(mysql_error());
$row_virtual = mysql_fetch_assoc($virtual);
$totalRows_virtual = mysql_num_rows($virtual);
I expected the 'os_select' field to be null and default value of Operating_System to be "Operating_System" so that the Query shows all records.
But instead the value being passed in the Query is "0". and no records are shown.
What can I do to show all records?
As probably obvious I am new to php/MySQL so all the help is most welcomed .
Thanks

Hi
Thanks for the prompt reply but this does not solve my problem.
First thing I appologise for giving you incorrect info. Actually I have many more constraints on the search apart from OS.
Didn't think I would get single constraint specific ans.
Here is what all i tried and problems I faced:
1. I cannot use seperate queries cause I have around 7-8 other constraints on the search.
2. I cannot play around with the Record set code. For some reason even if I mess with it a little bit Dreamweaver stops recognising the recordset. for eg i tried the below code:
$query_virtual = sprintf("SELECT table.VM_IP FROM table WHERE
table.Operating_System=%s ,($_POST['os_select']=="")? TRUE:GetSQLValueString($varOS_virtual, "int"));
this ran well for the first time, and then the record set was screwed up. kept on asking me to "Discover" the links, which it couldn't do.
3. take a look at this code:
$varOS_virtual = "Operating_System";
if (isset($_POST['os_select'])) {
$varOS_virtual = $_POST['os_select'];
$varState_virtual = "State";               //second constraint
if (isset($_POST['state_select'])) {
$varState_virtual = $_POST['state_select'];
mysql_select_db($database_xyz, $xyz);
$query_virtual = sprintf("SELECT table.VM_IP FROM table AND table.Operating_System=%s AND State=%s",
GetSQLValueString($varOS_virtual, "int"),GetSQLValueString($varState_virtual, "int"));
$virtual = mysql_query($query_virtual, $xyz) or die(mysql_error());
$row_virtual = mysql_fetch_assoc($virtual);
$totalRows_virtual = mysql_num_rows($virtual);
here on passing NULL value for "Any" GetSQLValueString($varOS_virtual, "int") functions returns NULL and though the Default value of
varOS is set to 'Operating_System" query takes NULL value only which when executed shows no records.
My problem majorly revolves around how to put something like "WHERE Operating_System= Operating_System" OR "WHERE Operating_System= TRUE" in the query, when passed through variable they are sent as Strings or NULL.
Thats why WHERE 1=1 also doesnt work, because it has "WHERE Operating_System= NULL" in AND.
Logically when NULL is passed default value of variable should comeinto picture, but tha isnt happening.
Thanks again for answering. hope I was able to explain my problem.

How to show all data when using more than one parameter?

Hi All,
I used a query like this to show the data in a report:
select col1, col2 // col1 and col2 are columns of tabale tab1
from tab1
where
tab1.col1 =
(case when :P_COL1 IS NOT NULL then // :P_COL1 IS A USER PARAMETER TO EQUAL COL1
:P_COL1 ELSE tab1.col1
end)
AND TAB1.COL3 =
(case when :P_COL3 IS NOT NULL then // :P_COL3 IS A USER PARAMETER TO EQUAL COL3
:P_COL3 ELSE tab1.col3
end)
The problem is when I run the report with paramters values or not, It shows the data which is not null for both col1 and col3.
That is when the value of col1 or col3 is null the report would not return that record!
I want the report to show all data not only values which is not null!
How to do this?

Rainer,
That where clause will fail when col1 in the table is null and the parameter has the dummy value. Consider the following:
variable p_col1 varchar2
exec :p_col1 := 'yourdummyvalue';
select
from
     select 'yourdummyvalue' col1 from dual
     union all
     select 'other' from dual
     union all
     select null from dual
     union all
     select 'X' from dual
) tab1
where nvl(tab1.col1,'yourdummyvalue') = nvl(nvl(:p_col1,tab1.col1),'yourdummyvalue')In this case, the query returns the row with null and the row with 'yourdummyvalue', where only the row with 'yourdummyvalue' should be returned.
You must do something like this:
where ( :p_col1 is null or ( :p_col1 = tab1.col1 ) )That one is the simplest and does not need a dummy value. Here are some other more complicated examples:
where nvl( :p_col1, 'yourdummyvalue' ) = decode( :p_col1, null, 'yourdummyvalue', tab1.col1 )or this:
where nvl( :p_col1, 'yourdummyvalue' ) = nvl2( :p_col1, tab1.col1, 'yourdummyvalue' )In the last 2 cases, it will not matter if the dummy value exists in the data, but they are unnecessarily complex.

How to View all settings not just unique

Hi
I took a backup of the GPO I created and imported it into MSCM.
When I look at the report of the settings it only show the Unique settings. Is there any way to show all the settings contained within the gpo?

Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your new computer is to network it with the old one and copy your iTunes folder across. This works fine if you have been using iTunes to completely manage your music and all your songs are in iTunes Music not in different folders. You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the old computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the new computer. If the songs in your library are not all in the iTunes Music folder you can consolidate them. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the same location on the new computer. This has to be the exact same place, on a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will be the same as on the original one Songs, Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings etc. When I moved iTunes a while ago for my daughter I was also using the same version of iTunes, not sure how important that is but it's probably worth keeping them the same.

Hi Poomani,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want the drill down to show only the required dimensions.

Always immed. show all messages instead of clicking 'show list' - mess. mgr

Hello all,
How can I immediately show all messages of my message mgr, instead of only the first message? Now, I always have to click 'show list' to view them.
I use the general MESSAGE_AREA UI element.
thanks,
maggie

Hi Hans,
If you got to the application, and under the properties tab you would find some radio buttons as :
1: Show message component on demand.
2: Always display the message component.
3: Display the messages without the message component.
The 3rd option is not availaile in newer systems. But yes if you are using ECC6.0 then it is the option that displays all the error messages and also in the message area, which would be the answer of your question.
Hope this helps.
Ashish.

How to show all the rows of a report in one page

My report has 30 rows, by default it just show 15 rows. I want to show all the rows just in one page, without cliking link or arrow to see the left.
In the Layout and Pagination:
Report Template: template: 15. Standard Report (PPR)
Pagination Scheme: Row Ranges X to Y (no pagination)
Display Position: Bottom - Right
Number of Rows: 1000
Number of Rows (item) 1000
Maximum Row Count: 1000
How to fix it?
Thanks.
Jen

Ok, I think I got it. I needed to blank out Number of Rows(item), Maximum row count and only populate Number of Rows. I was sure I did that before and it didnt work.
Do you think that the Sessions in Apex can cause unexpected results? I have found that when I make changes I have to log all the way out of Apex, close my browser and reopen everything to ensure that my change took. Does anyone else have this issue? I can move this into a different thread if need be.
Thx!
