How to Use a report as a filter in another report

Hi
We are presently migrating from microstategy to OBIEE. There is a report with 3 attributes and a single metric(the metric is the count of remedy ticket). The 2nd report has just the 3 attributes(the person who doesn't have a ticket for the given time period should be displayed) . There is no way to do this unless i can use the report as a filter. How can i do this?
Thanks

I method from the blogspot doesn't seem to work for me......As for the navigate function it just gives the normal values. I'll try to be a little more clear about what i want to achieve. Let's say report one displays all the owners in the system( number name, class), and report 2 displays all the owners with remedy tickets ( number name, class, number of remedy tickets( this will be the fact column)) and the third report should display the owners without any remedy tickets (number name, class) . due to a database quirk there is no column on which to base my third report. so i should substract the values of second report from first... so that i'll get the third report. ( By the way i've tried set function too....but it wodn't allow it since the number of columns should be equal and same)
Thanks for your suggestions guys

How to use sy-ucomm in one time in the report

Hi guru,
I developed a z report when i am executing the report one screen is didplaying and here and here i have to delect some check boxes (update) and then click the click the toolbar stage (which was created using sy-ucomm) and we are getting some output.
Now the requirement is when user second time clicking the botton stage the report shaould not execute it self.How to do it means how to restrict .Please help me .May be it is easy for you but I am facing a severe probleam to achieve this.
needs yours cooperation and patience.

Hi subhassikan
I am not very clear about what you want to say.
1. you want the sy-ucomm to be executed once right, then you can use a flag in that case.
one it executed first time
make flag = 'X'.
and next time check the value of flag if it is 'X' then the code under sy-ucomm should not be executed.
2. Secondly is there some buttton or something that you click, check function code for only that button and should not execute for any other button and function codes must be different.

How to use LIKE function with a parameter in Oracle REPORT builder??

how could i use parameter inside a LIKE function in Oracle reports builder?
it works in SQL plus, but not in report builder!!
Example:
select code,desc from item_master where desc
like '%&give_desc%'; ---works in SQL
like '%:give_desc%' ---doesn't work in report builder!!

Hi Renil,
You will need to use the wildcard character (%) and the concatenation character (||) to join to your user parameter.
i.e. like '%'||:give_desc||'%'

How to use advanced PL/SQL concepts in oracle forms/reports

Hi all,
Can any one suggest me how to use the advanced PL/SQL Concepts(nested tables,PAA,Varrays,Objects...) in Oracle forms.
Actually i Created a Table having column of Varray datatype. now i want to create a item in oracle forms on this field. can any one suggest me the way to do this.
Thanks,

Hello,
Have a look at this one:
http://sheikyerbouti.developpez.com/tutoforms10g/tutoforms10g.htm
particularly the chapter about block that contain a collection (2.3.3). The sample is built around a nested table but you have the idea to adapt it to work with a varray.
Kind regards,

How to use type, packages, functions, and procedures in another schema ?

I have two target schema in one OWB project, such as A and B. In a mapping of A, I would like to use some types, packages, functions, and procedures from B. I have tried the method of synonym as suggested, but I could not find the metadata of these when importing ... The only type of synonym I can import is the synonym for table. Is there a bug for synonym?
If I cannot use synonym for this issue, is there another way to solve the problem?

Now, in some instances you will absolutely need to create the second module as Carsten describes, however it should also be noted that you can reference objects in things like Expressions even if you have not loaded up the metadata. It is only when you need strong binding that it becomes neccessary to import objects. For everything else, as long as the reference will resolve at compile-time then you are good to go.
For example, I have a function in one target schema (S1) and a private synonym to it in another(s2). A mapping in the S2 schema has an expression object that uses the synonym to the function in the expression property for a couple of the output attirbutes. The synonym has not been loaded into metadata - indeed OWB has no knowledge of its existance. But it resolves at compile time so the mapping validates and generates successfully.

Scheduled report is not triggered by another report on which it depends

Hi folks,
I intend to trigger a group of reports by running a dummy-report (it does not more than executing the function currentDate() and displaying the result in a text field) manually (using InfoView) and use the success of this report as the trigger event for each report of the mentioned report group.
I tried to start off with only one report to be triggered. This report is scheduled to write an Excel-Sheet to the Default Enterprise Location with a scheduling interval of 5 minutes. The report runs fine within the specified intervals without having specified the dummy-report as a prerequisite event for the actual data report.
As soon as I define the dummy-report as a triggering event for the data report, the data report is not executed regularly any more, i.e., the first instance appears and remains as "Recurring" in the history list and nothing more happens.
I first schedule the data report as indicated and then fire up the dummy-report using "Now" from the drop-down list. Interestingly, I have to press the "Refresh Workspace Panel"-Button, before the status of the dummy-report changes from "Running" to "Success", although the report does not a lot. But, as mentioned, the data report is not triggered.
What am I might doing wrong?
Cheers
Bobbyy

Hi
When the first time you are placing the excels sheet, the dependent report runs successfully.
For it to trigger next time the excel sheet should be deleted from that location. Only the occurence of the excel sheet will trigger the second report, so this should be deleted.

How to use property of dimension to filter the 2nd dimension in Allocation?

Hi experts,
How do we use a property of one dimension to filter out the members of another dimension in allocation script engine?
eg of two dimensions
1.)Entity dimension - (entity dimension)
memberset:                                        Channeltype (property)
                   Stores
                    Store1                           Boutique
                    Store2                           Kiosk
                    Store3                           Branch
                    Store4                           Concession
                    Store5                           Franchise
                  Nonstore
2.)business Channel dimension - (user define)
   memberset:
               Channeltype
                   Boutique
                   Kiosk
                   Branch
                   Concession
                   Franchise
                   Nochannel
in allocation code
*runallocation
*factor
*dim entity                          what=Nonstore;                where=bas(Stores)
*dim businesschannel        what=nochannel;             where= ? ;
*endallocation
The thing is that when the engine selected store 2 for entity it should select kiosk as its businesschannel.
Please advise.
Thanks as always,
yajepe

Hi,
In this case, I believe, you should have the allocation within a for loop. But you should note that the performance might reduce.
*FOR %VAR% = BAS(STORES)
   *RUNALLOCATION
   *FACTOR
   *DIM ENTITY WHAT = NONSTORE; WHERE = %VAR%
   *DIM BUSINESSCHANNEL WHAT = NOCHANNEL; WHERE = %VAR%.CHANNELTYPE
   *ENDALLOCATION
*NEXT
Hope this helps.

How to use p_mainsearch parameter in basic search for a report with bind variable?

Hello,
I'd like to extend the basic-search in content-area elements to extra records in my own tables.
So I'd like to use the p_mainsearch-urlparameter (which holds the searchtext of a basic search) into a bind variable of my own report. My report will be on an extra tab on the search-page.
Especially I don't know how to transfer the value of p_mainsearch into the bind variable of the report.
Has anyone done that so far?
Example?
Thank you,
Joerg

I found out the following way:
1.)Report
1.1)SQL-Query:
select * from <owner>.<tablename> where UPPER(column) like '%'||UPPER(NVL(:searchtext,'abczyx123098'))||'%'
(Note: bind variable is :searchtext).
1.2)in "before displaying page"-section in "additional plsql" add the following:
if length(get_value('p_mainsearch')) >= 3 then
portal30.wwv_name_value.replace_value(
l_arg_names, l_arg_values, p_reference_path||'.searchtext,
portal30.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2(get_value('p_mainsearch')));
end if;
1.3) publish as portlet
2.) Integrate the report-portlet into a new tab on search page. Run basic search.
Change to the tab with the portlet.
For me it is solved.
Joerg.

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.

How To Use a Hidden Page Item within an SQL Report Query without Submitting

Hi,
Using: Oracle ApEx 3.0.1
I have an sql report region that contains a hidden page item as part of the "where clause". My problem is, based on a value entered by the user, I need to assign this value enetered to my hidden item, so that it can be used within the where condition of my sql but this would need to be done without actually submitting the form.
At the moment, I can set the value via an on-demand process but my SQL is still not returing any values as the hidden page item within the query is not set (as page has not been submitted).
Can anybody please assist as I am not sure how to do this and whether in actual fact, this is possible to do, without having submitted the page.
Thanks.
Tony.

You can set a session value using a dummy ajax call e.g:
Add the following to the 'Function and Global Variable Declaration' region
function f_set_item(pThis){
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,&APP_ID.,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=dummy',1);
get.add('P1_ID',pThis.value)
gReturn = get.get();
get = null;
}Where P1_ID is the session value to be set. Then call the function in the usual way e.g.
javascript:f_set_item(this);
I hope that helps

How to use FCP 7 AU distortion filter

I need to reduce as much distortion as possible from some deposition testimony that has clipping. I know reducing volume and maybe reducing the mid's are a place to start. Suggestions on using the AU distortion filter, or other means of accomplishing some improvement, are gratefully received.

Hi Thomas,
Take a look at the 'Row' filter type in the filter dialog in Interactive Reports. This allows more dynamic filters, such as those involving calls to SYSDATE or ADD_MONTHS. Also see the following thread for a few more details on this:
Re: Iteractive report - Conditional Row Highlighting based on date
Hope it helps.

How to use path names for library filter?

Hi all,
I have been looking for a way to use the library filter functionality to show only images in a particular folder (or subfolder thereof). From the help pages [http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/3.0/Using/WSAB7B303E-081D-4617-BF47-B4B8D3D49CC3.htm l] I found that the image path is included when you filter using 'any searchable field'.
However, I do not seem to be able to use a full path name, just the individual directory names. To give an example, I can locate files in c:\data\photos using 'contains all: c data photos', but this will also select images in 'c:\data\someotherproject\photos'. I have tried all combinations of slashes and backslashes, but have found no solution to this problem. Does anyone know what the internal representation for the path name is, and if it's possible to search for it?
Just to pre-empt the obvious answer: I know that you can simply click on a folder to show its contents. However, using the filter bar would be a more permanent selection of a working directory, which remains when you click on a collection, for example.
Thanks.
Simon

Sorry, I could have been clearer.
What I'm trying to achieve is the following. My computer contains photos by myself, my wife and others, organised in three main folders. Having them in separate catalogs isn't convenient, because we often have photos of the same event (outings, holidays). However, most of the time I only want to work on my photos, and my wife wants to work on hers. A directory filter would be a good and fool-proof way of doing things. I am currently using a special keyword to do this, but I must remember to apply the correct keyword when importing.
Adding a folder as a favorite only works to select that folder in its entirety. What I would like to do is to have a 'master' folder selected and then use Lightroom as I normally would (select folders, collections, etc) Filtering by path name would enable me to do just that - and it does, except that there are false positives due to not being able to enter a full path name.
A smart collection has the same problem: the 'Folder' rule doesn't seem to support paths. And even if it did, it's not possible to select two collections with a logical 'and' operator, unless you make a new smart collection for each possibility.
My current keyword workaround is functional, but slightly error-prone. And in any case, if 'any searchable field' includes the file path, it stands to reason that there should be a way to match that with the entire path. The documentation isn't clear about this, so I hope that anyone can shed some light on this.

How to use CSS and images in a plsql-dbms_output reports?

Hi.
Windows 2000 SP4
SQL Developer 1.2.1.32.13
Java 1.5.0_07
Oracle 9.2.0.6
I'm trying to create a plsql-dbms_output report with HTML that uses a stylesheet (CSS) and an image. These seem to be ignored by the report viewer.
The following example works fine in Internet Explorer 6 but the stylesheet is ignored by the viewer and the viewer does not show the images (shows broken images instead). I've tried with various image types (PNG, GIF and JPEG).

Is the HTML viewer limited to not support stylesheets and images?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

It also seems that links don't work. The mouse cursor changes to a hand when hovering over links and the links are shown in blue and underlined but nothing happens when clicking on them.

Hi,
I would recommend building your project in JDeveloper, creating the connection pool using the JDeveloper tools (Tools - Embedded OC4j Preferences) and then using the configuration files that were created in JDeveloper to use within your standalone OC4J server, assuming that is what you are using.
