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

Input Controls / Hierarchy

Hi,
We're looking into upgrade Service Pack 2. One of the nice new functionalities in Web Intelligence are input controls. When playing around with them a bit, we found them very useful to apply different selection filters on several objects, each belonging to a different dimension.
When we wanted to use input controls to sort of "select down into" a hierarchy within 1 dimension (so several object related to each other in a hierarchy), we found a selection on an object at eg. the top level of the hierarchy does not apply to the list of value of the input control for the lower levels (objects).
For example, dimension month.
Hierarchy: Semester > Quarter > Month
3 input controls on 3 objects: Semester, Quarter, Month
Selecting eg. Q1, does not limit the list of values of input control for Month to Jan, Feb, Mar
Instead all list of months need to be scrolled
This is unfortunate. For the above example, this is not that big an issue since the list of values in any case only has 12 entries. For other hierarchies however ...
Are we overlooking something? Can we get to above functionality from Input Controls?
If not in SP2, is this planned for the future? eg. SP3?
Thanks for feedback!
Raf

Hello Raf,
Thanks for your feedback about input controls.
This feature has been introduced as a first step in SP2, and will be improved in the coming releases (esp. with the XI 4.* codeline), and input controls dependencies is indeed listed with the highest priority on our improvement list (and more generally "context aware" input controls).
In the meantime, you may partly workaround the limitation, if you need to control 2 hierarchy levels, by defining an input control L1 to select first level, filtering a document area where you insert a table T2 listing entries for the second level.
Table T2 can be defined as input control (cf. table contextual menu) to filter another set of report elements.
For instance you can list all European countries with L1, set T2 to list European Cities, so when you select Norway from L1, you'd get T2 filtered to select only from Oslo, Stavanger, Narvik, Trondheim, etc.
(This behavior is currently restricted to an input control to a report element as input control only, i.e. no more than two hierarchy levels)
Hope that helps,
David.

OpenDocument - Can you pass input controls & other table columns

I need your expertise.....In Webi XI 4.0
I have used The OpenDocument URL to pass prompts as parameters...and that worked perfectly
But now I want to pass input control as well...but now sure if this is possible
and I would like to pass other columns in the table that are not part of my prompts
e.g. I have 3 columns on my table
i.e.
Column name            Country Name     Provice       Number of Cities
Column Data            South Africa        Gauteng           20
                                 South Africa        Mpumalanga    10
                                 South America     xxxxx              2
The Country Name and Province are not part of my prompts....but I want to include them on my OpenDocument URL so that I can limit my data to that particular Country and Province.......
Your help will be highly appreciated
Thank you in advance

As far as I know you cannot pass input controls to the opendoc. and the only way to restrict your child report with additional columns is to include them as filters. As there is no other way your child report would know that it should restrict the report with your column.
Thanks,

Hyperlink and Input Control

Hi,
Right now am struck at creating input control. Basically, the requirement is we have a crosstab onto which we have 3 measures based on the equipment group and type as shown in the below screenshot. When we click on any values from Active assets it navigates to child report and shows the info about active assets. Similarly, when clicked on Cumulative MTBF it should navigate to the same child report and show the table related to Cumulative MTBF. Now in child report what condition should I place so that on click of any of the measure ,respective table should be popped up and other tables should be hidden in the child report.
Thanks & Regards,
Anila.

Can input controls be used to change sections?

Hi,
I am trying to figure out a way to use the value of an Input Control to change the section dimension without having to create multiple copies of objects and hide/display them. I have a table with multiple measures and dimensions, including multiple dates (fiscal year, India fiscal year and calendar year). I want to section the report based on the input control selection so for ex, if the user selects fiscal year on the input control, the report sections are each fiscal year, if they select calendar year, the sections are each calendar year. I created a variable that uses a simple If statement to select the object based on the input control so for ex, if the input control selection is fiscal year, then the variable is equal to the fiscal year object. If I set the section header equal to the variable, it displays the different values in the header when I change the input control selection but it isn't really creating section blocks based on the object. Is this possible? It seems like it should be.

Let me share a PoC:
I have a block like:
Dim A
Dim B
Dim C
A1
B1
C1
A1
B2
C2
A2
B2
C1
A2
B2
C2
A2
B3
C1
A3
B1
C1
A3
B4
C1
A3
B5
C2
In Input Control I would like to have A/B/C option. Accordingly it will create section by Dim A/Dim B/Dim C.
Create two variables:
Input ="A"
Section =If([Input]="A";[Dim A];If([Input]="B";[Dim B];[Dim C]))
Now, I create a section on [Section] object.
Now, I create an Input Control on [Input] object:
Let us add custom list of values as below:
We are done !!!

Input Controls - is it possible to change the font for a combo box

I have an input Control combo box that is a mixture of english/chinese characters. In Webi I can view the chinese characters correctly if I change the font to MingLIU. Is it possible to change the font for an input control OR to set a default font?

Drill in BW hierarchy level in webi based on input control selection

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement in Webi. The Webi report is based on BW hierarchy and it is using hierarhcy both in the report output block and also in the report prompts. We are are BI 4.0 SP5,Patch 6. The report has input controls in it based on the BW Hierarchy. When the report is first executed,the user can drill down the hierarchy by clicking on the "+" nodes to the max level as shown in the screenshot below.
Now, when the user selects an input control, the data gets filtered but the hierarchy level automatically expands. In other words, when they select a data hierarchy showed in the input control the hierarchy in table is shown expanded and they want to see the hierarchy in the table close automatically.
So ideally its like this when a value from input control is selected.
Whereas the user wants it to be like this automatically on selecting a particular value from the input control and not in expanded form.
I'm aware of the Hierarchy depth function but that only takes us to a particular node based on depth and then doesn't allow further drilling after that.
Is there any setting in webi/bex about always keeping all sub nodes closed to prevent this expansion on selection of input control?
Thanks and regards,
Abhishek

Just did some research on on this and the SAP best practice: The question itself is logically incorrect.
A report/table filter where there is a hierarchy may remove rows without respecting the hierarchy structure. For this reason, a filter can remove a parent node currently expanded and keep leaves or
nodes collapsed. To avoid returning an empty table in this case the system automatically expands the hierarchy in the block to shows the resulting members
Thats why it automoatically expands the hierarchy.
Closing this thread. Thanks.

How to convert date value(format) in Calendar(input controls)

Hi everyone
I am using webi 4.0
My problem is when i select calendar date(input Controls) i am able to display time stamp along with date in input Controls(MM/dd/yyyy 12:00:00 AM)
i want to change (MM/dd/yyyy 12:00:00 AM) to (yyyy-MM-dd ), when i select calendar date(input Controls)
where is the calendar date(input Controls)' format setting??
i dont want to show the time stamp in calendar date(input Controls) as my users dislike to see that timestamp .
Thanks & regards
'Before'
'After' ( i want to change 'Before' to 'After')

Hi Park,
Create a new variable on the Calendar Date object and edit it using FormatDate function and use that object for input control.
=FormatDate([Date];"yyyy-MM-dd")

ADF Faces: How do I set values for input controls in an af:table

Use case: user enters master/detail information into an input form using an af:table for the desired number of detail rows.
I have an ADF Faces input form with master level input controls, and an af:table (bound to a backing bean CoreTable) for the detail data set.
The input controls are value bound to updateable view objects built from entity objects, with the appropriate view links providing master/detail iterators.
Once the user has entered the master keys (via inputTexts, and selectOneChoices), I create a row in the detail VO, thus creating a visible blank row in the af:table.
The user then completes the key for the detail row (in the af:table) by selecting a value in a selectOneChoice (in a af:column) with autoSubmit on and a valueChangeListener that sets the VO row attribute with the new value.
The user then continues to enter into the remaining inputTexts and selectOneChoices in the af:columns until all values have been entered.
I do not have autoSubmit on for any input controls in the af:columns other than the key, for performance improvement.
The user can then use a command button (which has an action method) to create another row in the af:table.
But, (in the action method) I need to set the values for the 1st detail VO row attributes, from the input controls, before creating another row.
The input controls are bound to backing bean CoreInputText and CoreSelectOneChoice objects, and they have not set their values at this point, even though I have partialSubmit on for the "New Row" command button.
I do not value bind the input controls in the af:columns to the backing bean objects, because we need to display data for all rows entered into the af:table.
Any advice on the best way to perform this operation would be very appreciated!!!!

Thanks for the reply Steve!!
Yes, I followed the techniques in Screencast#7, and it works great in my edit page.
But I am having problems with my input form.
I actually have master/detail/detail relationship for which I am creating an input form.
I created the input form as a copy of the edit form, and am making revisions as necessary.
I created new view objects for the input form (from my three entity objects), which have the "Tuning" set to retrieve "No Rows (i.e. used only for inserting new rows)"
I added an invokeAction that binds the "CreateInsert" action on the master iterator, so when the page is first displayed, the master level controls are available for data entry (as in 13.6.2 in the Developers Guide): but the first level detail controls are not rendered, and the af:table (for the second level detail) is rendered but with no rows.
Once the user enters key values for the master (a three part key), I manually create a first level detail row by executing the "CreateInsert" action binding for the first level detail iterator.
Continuing on, the user then enters a key value for the first level detail I manually create a second level detail row using it's "CreateInsert" action binding.
Now the user has a form with all master and first level detail controls completed and one empty row in the af:table for it's first entry.
The key column in the af:table has autoSubmit on, and an value change listener. That listener uses it's getNewValue() to set the key value ("locationCode" in this case) using
setLocationCode from the ViewRowImpl. Here is that value change listener:
public void locationChanged(ValueChangeEvent event) {
if (null != event.getNewValue()) {
LocObsCreateViewRowImpl locCreateRow = (LocObsCreateViewRowImpl)appMod.findViewObject("LocObsCreateView").getCurrentRow();
if (null == locCreateRow.getLocationCode()) {
locCreateRow.setLocationCode(event.getNewValue().toString());
Now comes my problem: once they have entered the values in the remaining columns, they can use a command button to create another row in the 2nd detail iterator, thus creating another visible empty row in the af:table. But the values from the first row (other than the key column) are not assigned to the row in the collection and I can't figure out how to set values in the collection's row.
I imagine I'm missing something using bindings and the Request Processing Lifecycle, and after reading this I can see how much manual work is going on.
The users have specified the need to have all information available on one page, so I've designed it so they can insert and iterate through the first level detail collection.
They have also asked to not use the mouse; they are looking for a "heads-down-data-entry" system.
Again, I really appreciate any advice you could give.

WEBI 3.1 Input Controls Label

I have a requirement to label all "Multi Select" input controls that filter my data block on the report itself. Traditionally, I have used DrillFilters() to label what drop-downs have been selected. Are there any options to do the same thing?
Thanks!

Hi Phil,
'Depending' or 'cascading' input controls is not yet supported, but we are working hard at providing that feature to a coming Web Intelligence release. Along with that important enhancement, we also would like to allow definition of input control on a wider scope than reports, i.e. any subset of report within a doc. As of now, input control can only be defined to control objects within a report (and not further).
Nevertheless, if you remain in the same report, you can define an input control to filter a report element, and set this report element (e.g. a simple table) to be an input control for another area in the report. This trick can help to mimic input control dependencies, but can still have some limitations leading to inconsistent results.
Hope that helps,
David.

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)

Is it possible to enter "Input Control" values on the report prompts screen? How?

Our report users are used to enter their parameters on the prompt.
I have created a new report on WEBI XI 3.1. and this report has some prompts and also input controls.
That means, when the user wants to run the report they have to enter their parameters on the report prompt and then they have to navigate to the input control and select the values.
That makes them feel like they are entering parameters twice for a report.
Is there any way the initial value for an input control can be entered on a report prompt screen?
So, the user enters the values of the prompt and the initial values of the input controls together only once at the prompt screen?

Thank you very much for the confirmation Amit.
Yes, I considered adding a prompt instead of an input control but this input control selects data based on a custom calculation performed in a variable at the report level. To create a prompt on the query I would have to make the calculation at the universe level.
Anyway, it seems 'Input Control" may be a useful tool for our reports, so we decided to get our report users accustomed to the input control tool.
Thanks again for the help.
