InfoView Bug? with Input Controls

I have 5 input controls on my web report. These are created so that the users could select one or more of the values(list of values).
If I put any default values in any one or more of them and then click on rest button (Reset Button that is for the input control) I get an Internet Explorer related error.
Please advise if this is a known issue with Webi/InfoView or there are some settings that I have to change in order to resolve this issue.
Here is the brief description of the error:
Line :471
Char 5
Error 'List' is undefined
Code:0
Thanks

Don't try to put HTML here in the forums. Setup a test site somewhere and post a link to that.

Possible bug with Tab Control and Context Help?

I created Description and Tip text for each Tab of a tab control I am using on my front panel. I have a subVI that is called by selecting a menu item from my main front panel. The subVI's front panel also has a menu system and a Tab Control. I have Description and Tip text written for each of the tabs on the subVI's front panel.
When I enable context help from the menu of my main VI, the proper help text shows up for the tabs on the main vi and, when I bring up the subVI's front panel, for its tabs as well.
So far so good...
Now I builld the application and run it as an executable. For ALL of my panel tab descriptions, I get the tab's label in bold text, but no description (just a blank area).
Is this a bug in LabVIEW?

I'm still seeing this behavior in LV8.2.1. Does anyone know if/when it was fixed? Also, my tip strips show up in the corner of the monitor when I mouse over a tab (in both the executable and the development version).
I see it still even in 8.5.
The Help part of the bug is still NOT fixeed by NI.
But I dont get the tool tip appearing in the corner of the monitor, it is showing up as usual.

Input Control Limit

Hi,
Is there any limit on the number of lines (entries/values) which an Input Control can display? I am having an Object which has over 2000 values but I am not able to see all the values in Input Control. It just stops at some number.
I changed the settings - 'Number of lines' but that too is not affecting the report. Universe Parameters Control settings are all unticked, so no restriction there.
Is there any setting for input control on server or CMC?
Edited by: dacoffee on Nov 2, 2011 11:09 AM

Please try the below steps i got from BOB.
Hope this helps...
To increase the limit, from the default of 1000, do the following:
[1] In the CMC, go to the Properties screen for the WebIProcessingServer server(s).
[2] Modify the "List Of Values Batch Size (entries):" setting. The default is 1000. You can specify a value between 1000 and 65535 inclusive.
[3] Restart the WebIProcessingServer server(s).
[4] Restart the "AnalyticalReporting" web application, or, restart Tomcat if you are unsure how to restart individual applications.
The change should now take effect when working with Input Controls in the InfoView WebI Viewer and WebI Java Applet.
If you need to modify the LOV limit in WebI Rich Client, work through the following steps.
[1] Open the webi_client_default_parameters.xml file in a text editor, such as notepad. The default location for the file, on windows, is as follows:
<drive>:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\config\webi_client_default_parameters.xml
[2] Modify the following parameter:
Code:
<PARAMETER NAME="WebiParamListOfValuesBatchSize" VALUE="1000" TYPE="long" ADMIN="true" />
Modify the VALUE from the default of 1000.
[3] Save the file.
[4] Restart the WebI Rich Client

I posted an example that inserts 130 FP object images in a picture and moves them around (it is a random walk where each object is assigned a letter and the program terminates when all of the letters required to spell out "Hello World" wander into the trap at the bottom.)
A snippet of the code follows.

Default Input Control Values in WebI doc on Open

Is there a way to select default Input Control values for a WebI document on Open ? I have a WebI document/report with no prompts in the query (as I don't want to restrict the data available on refresh) with input controls on Year and Month. The report is scheduled to refresh data each night. This is a standard public report that many users open as Read Only through an Opendoc URL hyperlink to the latest instance. I would like to always set the input control values to the current year and month so that the most current data is displayed on the report by default when it is opened as this is what the majority of users will want to see on the report.
I know that prompts can be used for the data filter but we do not want the data refreshed for each user as it is scheduled to refresh nightly and we want them to be able to change the input controls to view other years/months without requiring a refresh as these past months data is not dynamic.
Thanks, Faith

I meant the following:
When you are in the report editing mode at the top right corner of WebI window you can find the "Show/Hide report filter toolbar" button. After activation this feature you'll be able to drag your variables over the pane that appears.
If you are using input controls you can create new input controls based on this variables instead of controls based on Date, Month and Year dimensions and set the "Today", "Current month" or "Current year" as theirs default values.

Input Controls pane - How to force Input Controls pane to visible on WebI?

We are planning to distribute WebI reports to our users. The reports would be scheduled daily and the users would get an email containing a hyperlink to the Webi report. Upon clicking, the hyperlink it would launch the WebI and refresh data to the latest instance of the report.
Is there a way to force the Input Controls pane to visible on this report when users click on the link?
Thanks

Hi Rohit,
I do not think this can be set in WebI. Nevertheless, I understand this suggestion as a very interesting enhancement for the tool. What about submitting it on Idea Place?
Thanks for the suggestion and your interest with input controls,
David.

Webi Input control not displayed on Mobile

Hi
I have a simple repore created in Webi,
I'm attaching it
It has only 2 measures coming from eFashion
and I want to create a graph to show only one of them according to user selection.
As you will see, I've created a dummy variable "Revenue/Quantity" and an Input control over it.
I've also created another variable with a simple if function based on the Input control.
It works fine in Webi
But in mobile I don't see the Input control.
We are in BO 4.0 SP5 patch 5.1
Please advice
Shlomi

Hi James,
As far as I know there is no problem with input controls on 5.0.x
Can you confirm if the input control is on page level BUT NOT on block level?
Since phone displays single report part in a screen, if the input control is designed to be on some charts/tables in Webi, then you may not see the filter icon in all pages.
But in tab, since more number of report parts appear in same screen filter icon may be seen.
You can test it by navigating to other pages of the document in phone.
Let me know if the problem is not resolved.
-Regards,
VVH

Bug: Universal app input controls (i.e. Start Menu, Task view buttons) ignoring and missing interpretative translation for legacy input control context request (right-click)

Redundant post - however the topic (title) is different to point out the potential of adding translation for right-click to universal app input controls. The part about a solution for translation is in bold at the bottom of this post ...
Bug: Universal app input controls (i.e. Start Menu, Task view buttons) ignoring and missing interpretation translating right-click to a left-click to activate context (menu) in universal app web style (similar to oo context menu for oo legacy style).
Bug: Task view: OO context menu: Should show "nothing" (like right-click Start Menu button) - but right click Task view shows the oo context menu for the Task bar (wrong context)
Besides behaving wrongly (should be like right clicking the Start button) ....
the problem is the user is likely to look for actions on that context menu.
However to activate the context menu for this universal app kind of behavior you actually need to left-click the button for the Task view ... and then you get the universal app like context menu.
Microsoft must have been trying to figure out what to do about this kind of voupling mismatch between legacy (right-click) and universal app (left-click) conmtext menus. confusing for users it weill become nevertheless.
But the left-click style supports touch.
One solution though is to support right-click on i.e. Task view and Start button. Thus for new kind (universal app kind-of)input controls - right-click will work (instead of just being ignored) just like left-click. Allthough not a correct left-click
- it will be helpful and interpretive translating the intension of receiving a context. A practical solution with right-click translating into left-click for universal app controls considering that the context menu actually has become a hybrid of left-click
and right-click (with a precedence for left-click though)

This is a great post.
I couldn't have written it myself better.
I'm also in dying need of Korean input as I can't communicate with my Korean friends.

Annoying bug with Control Center

hello guys
i have this really annoying bug with control center
when you open, for example sms app, the keyboard shows, and you want to pull CC up.
just do it slowly and you'll see how your finger is typing smth like " bgt", ios for some reason isn't blocking keyboard when i'm trying to use control center
when you'll it fast, there is 100% chance to type space or one extra letter
i think people can accept such kind of bug on galaxy phones, but not on iphone.
is there something that i can do to fix this?

Keyboard clicks don't register unless you lift your finger when it's on a key; while the fact that you are dragging your fingers over the letters when swiping up for Control Center causes keyboard keys to be pressed is certainly annoying and admittedly kind of dumb, it shouldn't result in any letters getting actually typed. I just tried this myself, and although I do manage to "hit" a key on each row of the keyboard, they keys themselves never register with the Messaging app because my finger doesn't lift until the end of the swipe to bring Control Center up.

ObjectListItem with additional input controls like Switch

Hi there
I have a sap.m.List and use ObjectListItem to display the information for every single item. However, I have the requirement to add input controls like sap.m.Input and sap.m.Switch. As the layout of ObjectListItem works great for me, I don't want to switch to another ListItem type.
Is there a way to do this?
If not, how can this be solved? Is it needed to extend the ObjectListItem? If so, in which way do I have to extend it?
Any ideas would be great!
Best regards
Tobias

Hi Tobias,
As I understand, you want to create a list, which will have Label at Left and the desired UI Control(Input, or Button, etc) on Right side, like below ->
Inside a List view -->
Label1    Input
Label2    Button
Label3    Switch
corect?
This can be done. Please check following code.
                  new sap.m.List({
                    items : [
                        new sap.m.InputListItem({
                            label : “Quantity”,
                            content : new sap.m.Input( { value : “10” } )
                        new sap.m.InputListItem({
                            label : “Product Name”,
                            content : new sap.m.Input( { value : “Cake”, type : sap.m.InputType.Password } )
                            new sap.m.InputListItem
                              label : "Discount",
                              selected : true,
                              content :
                            this.CheckBoxRememberMEOption,
                              select : function()
Hope you are looking for something like this. Do let me know.

A possible bug for Grid control?

Hi, Dear all,
We installed Grid control 10.2.0.1 on Redhat Linux R3 with existing database(10.2.0.4).
During the installation, we succeeded for repository creating but failed at OMS Configuration.
When I start oms in cmd line, I got the following error: the repository database can not be connected.
The description for the environment:
1. OMS server and repository database are installed on the same server, on which HA is used.
2. There are two floating IP on this machine,
IP | server name | used for |
xx.xx.xx.124 | cnsz030318 | oms server |
xx.xx.xx.80 | oem.db.paci.com.cn | repository database |
3.When we installed the oms with OUI, the repository server we input is oem.db.paci.com.cn
The problem we found:
During the installation, the repository was created successfully. But it failed at OMS configuration.
The error we got: the repository database can not be connected.
there are two lines in emoms.properities which seems strange:
oracle.sysman.eml.mntr.emdRepServer=oem.db.paic.com.cn
oracle.sysman.eml.mntr.emdRepConnectDescriptor=(DESCRIPTION\=(ADDRESS_LIST\=(ADDRESS\=(PROTOCOL\=TCP)(HOST\=cnsz030318.db.paic.com.cn)(PORT\=1535)))(CONNECT_DATA\=(SID\=oem10g)))
The emdRepServer is what we have input on OUI:oem.db.paic.com.cn. But for the connectDescriptor, it is changed to "cnsz030318.db.paic.com.cn", which does not exist at all!.
Now, we have worked around this problem by adding "cnsz030318.db.paic.com.cn" in the /etc/hosts.
But my question is, why the connectDescriptor set the HOST\ as cnsz030318.db.paic.com.cn? Why does it not use the name we input in OUI (oem.db.paic.com.cn)?
Maybe it is a bug for Grid control?

Did you install with "Use existing database" or "Use new database"?
I recommend that you use fully qualified domain names only!

Webi 3.1 Input Controls on Different Tabs

Hi,
I have a requirement to pass an input control value to another tab of same report i.e, Same iDocID but different tab.
For example, say input control in Tab 1 is filtered for a specific date, same date has to be filtered in Tab 2 too. i.e, I need to reuse the input control in Tab 1 in Tab 2, so as to avoid duplication in multiple reports.
Highly appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

I was able to make it works. Just try this dummy report to know how :
- Create a custom query
select '1','MyNumber1'
union
select '2','MyNumber2'
union
select '3','MyNumber3'
For this example, 1st col will be [MyNumber] and 2nd col [Desc]
- Duplicate the default report
- On the 1st tab ("Report 1"), add a new Input Control
- Parse ReportFilterSummary("Report 1") to retrieve the filtered value in a variable named [Filtered]
=Trim(If (Pos(ReportFilterSummary("Report 1");"MyNumber Equal ") > 0) Then Substr(ReportFilterSummary("Report 1");Pos(ReportFilterSummary("Report 1");"MyNumber Equal ") + Length("MyNumber Equal ");1) Else "")
- Create a boolean variable [Filter] based on [Filtered]
=If([Filtered]="" Or [Filtered]=[MyNumber];1;0)
- On the 2nd tab ("Report 1 (1)"), add the variable [Filter] in your table
- Add a Quick Filter on this column. Select 1 as value.
So it's where everybody seems to stuck.
If we go to the first tab and select a value, we see that [Filter] value changed but the table it's not filtered until we do a refresh
If we select a value and then a different value, now the table is filtered in the second tab....but it's really annoying...and it doesn't work in Infoview...
To make it works :
Before, go to the 1st tab and reset your input control. You also need to refresh the report to make sure that the 2nd tab is ok.
So...
- Create a null measure by creating a custom query
SELECT null
For this example, this col will be [MyNull]
- On the 2nd tab, add a dummy section by creating a variable [Section] ="" and dragging it over your table
You can remove this cell after but DON'T DELETE THE SECTION
- Create a [Filter Measure] variable - Like I said...it's a MEASURE
= If ([Filter]=1) Then [Filter] Else [MyNull]
- On the 2nd tab ("Report 1 (1)"), add the variable [Filter Measure] in your table
- In the table properties, set the "Show rows with empty dimension values" to Yes (This one sounds really weird but IT MAKE IT WORKS)
AND HERE WE GO....
Just test it...go back at the 1st tab and change your Input control value....the table will change immediatly on the 2nd tab...and it works perfectly in Infoview...
You can remove the [Filter] col but not the [Filter Measure] col but you can "blank" it by removing borders and putting white color as backgroun color (to do this, you need to change it to another color first and then in white)

Wrong LOV in input controls

Hi all,
we have an Infoview document containing two reports with an input control on months (01,02,03, etc.). When we open this report for the first time, in the LOV there are other values (i.e. the list of customers)!. We change tab and go to other report, we return to the first one and LOV is correct. We use IE8 and this happens in compatibility mode too.
Thanks for help.

Hi,
That was a very useful answer!
I have a quick question - I am in BO 4.0 (not 4.1) and I would like to default the "All values" selection to a specific value.
I have defined the input control using Var_Currency_Type (dimension) and have assigned two values i.e. 'USD' & 'Local Currency'. The default value is 'USD'.
The input control works fine. When I select either USD or Local Currency.
but, I do not see any table when I select 'all values'. I would like it to display 'USD' when user selects 'All Values'.
=======================================================================
In the format table (two tables - one for USD and one for Local currency), I have put in the formula:
x - Hide when following formula is true
=ReportFilter([Var_Curency_Type])<>"USD" -- for USD table
and = ReortFilter([Var_Currency_Type])<>"Local Currency" for Local Currency table.
======================================================================
Does anyone have encoutered this situation. Could you please share the solution?
Thanks for your time.

Help get input controls working WEBI 4.0 BEx

Hello All
I am trying to get WEBI Input Control working for me, and all I seem to be getting is the error message
Unable to get the first page of the current report.
Please check the validity of your report or contact your administrator. (ERR WIJ 20003).
What I am doing is as follows:
Create a Cross Tab based upon BEx Query via BICS the format is basically
Cross Tab 1
FY.........Period..........Structure.........u20AC
I am wanting to click on FY and have it report on
Cross Tab 2
Period..........Structure.........u20AC
I then create an element link for all objects (single doesn't work either)
When I select FY I get the above error message.
Can anyone please help me become wiser as to how to work with WEBI and BEx?
Thanks
Phillip

Hi Philip,
Thanks for your interest in Web Intelligence input controls.
Although I have not all the details of the issue you are encountering, this looks like a bug we've found with Web Intelligence 4.0 input controls occurring specifically with objects from BICS sources (logged as fix request 1553312 / customer issue CSS 393735 in our systems).
This issue has been fixed with Web Intelligence 4.0 SP2.1 (patch 1 of SP2), which has been released last week AFAIK.
If the issue persists or you are not sure that this fix addresses your issues, I strongly encourage you to get in touch with customer support to report your issue so wde can have this corrected as soon as possible.
Please keep in mind besides that hiercharchies are not yet supported by input controls, new controls will be specifically introduced with Web Intelligence 4.1 to select values from tree lists.
Hope that helps,
David.
