How to use Hierarchy Prompt

Hi all,
I want to filter my request based on the value chosen from a hierarchy prompt. I know that a filter on a hierarchy prompt can be applied in selection step by selecting "Override with Prompt". However, the hierarchy prompt filter only seems to be applied as long as the hierarchy object is displayed in the request itself. Even when moving the hierarchy to the Excluded section, the filter is no longer applied.
In my case it really is useless to expect the user to select a value from the hierarchy prompt and then again display the value they've just chosen in the report.
Is this expected behavior? Is there any workaround?

Hi,
We faced same issue in our previous project. I dont remember if we retained the same.
It is really a problem as we can't assign a presentation variable also to Hierarchy prompt.
Try this: Place the hierarchy column in prompt section of your view. You can apply master detail event from the prompt to report. Hide the view prompt(If you click on the drop down, you will have the option called hidden).
Regards,
Amrutha.

How to use the prompted value in the filter expression

Hi
Is it possible to use the prompted value in the filter expression?
My requirement is that user will be prompted for a date field and I need to filter the records such that the records are displayed for the last 5 weeks from the date entered by the user.
If somehow I know how to use the prompted value in the filter expression then this requirement is easy to be done. If this is possible, please guide me?
If there are other ways to acheive the desired results then please suggest.
Thanks

How to use the prompt value in the report column

Hi
I have a report prompt column which is 'Adj Type' which holds values 10,20,30 and when user selects Adj Type = 10 then this value should be passed to report column.
For Eg. Column 1 value is 10 and this should multiple with prompt value and the output should be 10* 10.
Any thoughts how to capture the prompt values in report column for calculation.

hi hsekar,
1) Declare a presentation variable in prompt under the Set Variable section -->Presentation Variable -->P_var
2) In Fx Table_name.Your_column * @{P_Var}
@{P_var}{20} ( 20 is default value it will override when a user selects value in prompt

to hide multi-go-button in prompts and it works for IE 7 and firefox 2.0* with 10.3.4.1.

Any idea why ? Please help me with this,as i want to use this hide go button feature in firefox 3.0* too.
Are these scripts browser to browser incompatible ? If yes from where can i get the script for firefox 3.0* ?
Awaiting for the inputs.

Vikas:
In the 'Button Attributes' field of the button enter 'id='thisButton'.
Modify the button template to include the substitution string #BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES# . This should be put in the anchor tag in the template defintion.
Modify your Javascript to reference the above id as

How to use hierarchy variable.

Hi all ,
In 0Account I have four hierarchies , please tell me how can I use all these 4 hierarchies in a single BEx query.
Presently I am able use only one hierarchy .
With regards

Hi,
If u want the user to be able to choose 1 of the 4 hierarchies, in the hierarchy tab of the properties of 0ACCOUNT in BEx Query Designer, click on the white button beside "Select Hierarchy" and then on the white button present against the drilldown for Hierarchy Variables. Create a new variable there & then select it from the drilldown. You should then be able to use the variable & select 1 of the 4 hierarchies.

How to use HIERARCHY in OLAP_TABLE function

Hello,
I am new to OLAP and I don't really know what is the exact syntax to look at this cube by using sql and OLAP_TABLE function.
I have defined a analytic workspace called 'MANUAL' by using Analytic Workspace Manager. Inside I have defined a simple dimension 'DIM_PERIOD'.
I have 4 levels ('YEAR', 'QUARTER','MONTH','YEAR_MONTH'), 1 hierarchy ('PERIOD') and 6 attributes ('YEAR','QUARTER','MONTH_CODE','MONTH_LONG','MONTH_SHORT',
'YEAR_MONTH'). Every attribute is linked to one level of the hierarchy..
I would like to build the correct sql statement to see all my dimension.
I have already build the following :
create type awperiod_row AS OBJECT (
tyear VARCHAR2(4000),
tquarter VARCHAR2(4000));
create type awperiod_table as table of awperiod_row;
Select *
from table (OLAP_TABLE(
'manual DURATION SESSION',
'awperiod_table',
'DIMENSION tyear from dim_period));
This is giving me all different level in only one column.
If I introduce 'WITH HIERARCHY PERIOD' I have an error saying PERIOD is not an object of Manual.
Is there somebody who can help me ?
I am expecting the following simple result :
Year Quarter Monthshort
2005 1 Jan
2005 1 Feb
2005 1 Mar
2005 2 Apr
Note also the definition and the data of my dimension is good. I can see the correct contain by using Analytic Workspace Manager
Thanks already

The answer to your overall question is that you should use the familyrel keyword in your limitmap, once per level that you want represented as a column (or a single reference along with the USING clause). You would also need to reference these new columns in your ADT.
But before you start using familyrel, you'll need to discover why you can't specify a hierarchy. My guess is that period is not the name of the hierarchy in the Analytic Workspace. You can list all available hierarchies by using OLAP Worksheet (available in AWM) and typing "listnames relations aw period".
It is somewhat difficult to be more specific without more detailed knowledge of the underlying Analytic Workspace.
Thanks.

Hi,
Try with OpenDoc syntax as follows.
http://<servername>:<port>/OpenDocument/opendoc/<plat
formSpecific>?iDocID=****&sIDType=CUID&sType=wid/rpt&lsM/lsS/lsRPROMPTNAME=[V1],[V2]&sDocName=reportname&sRefresh=Y/N
where
server name: cms server name
port: portno
<platformspecific>=: for java -> openDocument.jsp
for .net -> opendocument.aspx
idocid,sDocName & cuid -> we can get report properties ( goto info view -> select report -> right click -> properties i.e. doc id, cuid and report name)
sType -> type of report i.e webi or deski ...
lsS -> to pass single prompt value
lsM -> to pass multiplle values to prompt
lsR -> range of values ....
Note: Here prompt name should be same as the one which we used in the report. Use + if there is blank space.

How to use Hierarchy for Planning?

Hi everybody,
I have created a query, which is input ready.
This query uses a hierarchy which contains different positions being used for cashflow-planning.
My Problem is that cashflow not only consists of positions that have to be added, but also positions, which have to be subtracted/discounted.
I don't know whether it is possible to put my hierarchy into a structure and work with functions (because the function is not able to select child-nodes dynamically, I guess).
That's the reason for me asking:
Can I just instruct my hierarchy not to add eyery node, but also subtract them?
I will be very thankful for every hint being given.
Regards,
Martin
(p.s.: I'm sorry for my bad english. I'm out of practise.

Problem on a table with hierarchy prompt

Hi experts,
I have an unusual error when I'm using hierarchy prompt.
I make an analysis that it has two hierarchycal columns (One of this is to show on rows of my table, another is to get filter when I choose options with hierarchycal dashboard prompt)
My table looks like this:
+Level1
...+Level1.1
...+Level1.2
+Level2
...+Level2.1
etc.
If I drill down by Level1.1, it's drilldown fine and it shows childs of Level1.1, now comes my issue... With Level1.1 Opened (seeing childs of level 1.1), if I click to drilldown level1.2 I have an error:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Error Details
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P

So...My problem exists when I want to drilldown with diferent ways.
If I delete hierarchycal column that is prompted in my dashboard...I can drill down perfectly... but I can't to delete this hierarchycal column because my customer needs that hierarchycal prompt.
Anybody can help me???

Write your own Thread, to do this:
public class KeyThread extends Thread {
   public void run {
      while(true) {
         int i = System.in.read();
         if(i == 123) {
            break; // to stop the thread
// in your main:
Thread keyThread = new KeyThread();
keyThread.start(); // calls run() of the thread

How to use File Adapter with hierarchial Structure?

Bcoz I am getting a Flatfile in a hierarchial way as shown below.
Header Details :1
Line Item a

Kishore

Hey Kishore,
In order to create a structure you need to use the file with convertion mode on the sending communication channel of the file adapter.
check the link for the needed configuration paramters.
If the structure is more complexed you can use the Contetnt master(CM) from itemfield which allows to ceate XML file from complex flat files and more.
