Is it possible to use repository variable in conditional formatting

Is it possible to use repository variable in conditional formatting . if no then is there any workaround for implementing the same....
Also i came across a sql of an init block.. which goes like 'exec OracleBi..procedure_name'
Is 'OracleBi..' a keyword or something like that....

Refer http://www.biblogs.com/2008/09/03/obiee-repository-variables-filtering-and-conditional-formatting/
Init blk is calling any procedure here with name OracleBI here...no any specific significance.
Hope this help

Using Session Variable with Conditional Formatting Filter

Hi,
I'm trying to add a condition to my report in order to flag all opportunities that have a close date that is in the past. The way I'm trying to do this is by adding a condition to say when close date is less than current_date, flag the column with an image.
Issue I'm having is that the filter window within conditional format tab appears to not have the session variable option as you do when you create a filter on a column the normal way. A colleague told me to use an SQL expression, but again this option seems to be unavailable too within the conditional format tab.
Can anybody assist please?
Thanks

Create a new column and write a CASE WHEN condition like case when close date < current_date then 'Y' ELSE 'N' END.
Then on your actual date column, you can do conditional analysis based on the newly created column for values having Y then the image.
finally, you can hide the newly created column.

Using process variables in conditional transition

HI,
I am usin Oracle BPM 1.03
I wanto to have a value of a variable visible in the user's inbox. Therefore, I need to use project level variables.
I also want to use this variable in conditional tranistion, but the condition editor only allows Instance level variables.
Am I overlooking something? Is there an easy way to use project variable in conditional transtions?
Matej

you should be able to manually type the transition condition on the properties tab.
xArea == "MyArea"
where xArea is a Project Variable

New Logical Column using repository variables

Hello all,
Can anyone let me know how we create a new logical column in OBIEE 11g in the BMM layer using the repository variables..Is there any way/chance to create such new logica columns.If so please let me know how we will be doing that

This is alwayz possible.
Here is the syntax.

Help using repository variable in dashboard text

Hi,
we have a dashboard section that shows current announcements regarding data issues, etc. This is just using a plain text object on the dashboard. I need to add the following to the top of the text: "Data loaded on xx/xx/xxxx".
I've created a static repository variable called "DW_LOAD_DATE" and populated it with the proper date/time.
I'm 100% able to use this in an answers query, but I'm stuck trying to figure out how to get it to show up in a dashboard plain text section with no Answers behind it. I've tried:
{biserver.variables['DW_LOAD_DATE']}
@{biserver.variables['DW_LOAD_DATE']}
{biserver.variables[DW_LOAD_DATE]}
@{biserver.variables[DW_LOAD_DATE]}
In all cases, the only thing that shows up is the exact text from above - the substitution isn't being done properly. Can someone help, I'm obviously doing something dumb.
Thanks!
Scott

Ok, I got the following to work (kind of):
@{biServer.variables['DW_LOAD_DATE']}
I was thrown off because the "preview" window shows it as the above string without doing the variable substitution.
Now my last question - the above variable is stored as a TIMESTAMP, because in some cases we need to know the time in addition to the date. When it's showing in the dashboard text, I see the following:
Data was last loaded on TIMESTAMP '2011-01-06 18:00:00'
Is there a simple way to format this so it shows up like:
Data was last loaded on 1/6/2011 18:00:00
Thanks!
Scott

Possible to use local variables in Calculation Manager

Hi,
I'm using calculation manager in EPMA for the first time. Have not found any function for using "local variables", i.e. variables that can be used for fixing on the current members a user has selected in a form. Do someone know if it is possible to use that functionality in calculation manager? And in that case, how do I find it?
Thanks!
Regards
Mats

Hi,
I guess you are referring to local variables in Essbase Administration Console. When you are in calculation manager (System View), you can go to Tools->Variables. There you can create variables at application, database (global) or business rule level (local variable). You can use these in Business rules by placing the name in curly bracket {...}.
The usage of the variables in the forms is the same as before.
If however, what you meant to say by local variables is substitution variables, yes you can use them in Calc manager the same way you use in calc script.
Cheers,
Alp

Is it possible to use a variable after

...after popup message. Like the following example. I want to inform the user about the next number he can enter into a database..
MESSAGE 'Please enter another value. The value may be ' + VARIABLENAME TYPE 'I'.
How can I achieve using a variable after this message or any alternative way?
Thank all you very much.
Deniz.

hi,
u can do it.
To create a message long text in SE91:
Select to switch to change mode.
Place the cursor on the corresponding message.
Click the Long text pushbutton.
This starts the SAPscript editor.
Enter the long text.
Carry out a check in SAPscript editor.
Save your data.
eg: create a msg like this.
Please enter another value. The value may be &.
then in pgm do this.
MESSAGE i014(msg_class_name) WITH variable_value.

Date prompt using repository variables adds "DATETIME" literal to narrative

We are using repostiory variables to set initial date prompt filter values for our report. When we do that we get the "DATETIME" literal string show up on our report as in TIMESTAMP '2011-08-18 00:00:00&#39 (I am posting the exact literals from the report.
Is there any way to fix this so "TIMESTAMP" does not show?
by the way the following procedure was followed in trying to create this narrative.
http://bischool.wordpress.com/2009/06/17/set-yesterday-or-some-date-value-as-default-in-obiee-dashboard-prompt/
We are doing this in OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1

Double click on the connection pool and got to General tab.
In the excute on the connect field add the following Script.
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'MM/DD/YYYY'.
Thant will solve the problem of time stamp.
I tried this in my recent project and it works. Let me know if you have any issues
Thanks
If it is the only issue coming up in the narrative view then follow Ashish method.
If the date problem persists for prompts and everywhere in the answers follow my method

Using a variable for the "format" parameter for disk/directory name

In the interest of maintainability, I'm trying to use an environment variable in the format parameter. I've found that RMAN is able to interpret the $ORACLE_HOME and $ORACLE_BASE variables, but others give the error:
RMAN-03006: non-retryable error occurred during execution of command: backup
RMAN-07004: unhandled exception during command execution on channel t1
RMAN-10035: exception raised in RPC: ORA-07217: sltln: environment variable cannot be evaluated.
RMAN-10031: ORA-19583 occurred during call to DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.BACKUPPIECECREATE
Is there any more specific documentation about what variables are supported within RMAN? (I've found nothing in the manuals beyond the excerpt I included below.) Does anyone know if the "port-specific directory" mentioned in the excerpt below
can be modified/customized?
Thanks....
format 'format_string'
specifies the filename to use for the backup piece. Any name that is legal as a sequential filename on the platform is allowed, provided that each backup piece has a unique name. If backing up to disk, then any legal disk filename is allowed, provided it is unique. If you do not specify the format parameter, RMAN stores the backup pieces in a port-specific directory ($ORACLE_HOME/dbs on UNIX).

i have used a different directory other then port-specific one and i am able to backup .
format '/disk2/app/oracle/test/%d_%s_%t' , i have given full path names instead of substitution variables. i am not sure how
they(variables) will work though in rman.

Is it possible to save a set of conditional format rules in Numbers?

I am a doctor, and I have a call schedule that comes out each month (in an Excel spreadsheet). So, I want to open up the spreadsheet in Numbers and have each instance of my name (Smith) highlighted, by setting the background of the cell to a fluorescent yellow. This is easy to do by using conditional formatting, and it works well.
My problem is that each time I want to use the same conditional formatting rule, I have to manually set it up. I would like to be able to save the 'rule', ideally linked to a toolbar button, so that I can run this conditional formatting on any Numbers spreadsheet with one (or two) click(s).
Does anyone know if this is possible?

Create a table with the conditional rules then use Format > Advanced > Capture Table
Each time you will create a new table from the captured table it will have all the source's attributes.
Of course, you must save in the native Numbers format.
If you export as Excel most of these settings will be lost.

Is it possible to use a variable to control the path where a sub-flow is found ?

I have a customer on UCCX 7.0.2 SR5.
They are developing a script that uses many sub-flows and they wish to have a "Development" , "QA" and a "Production" versions of the application all on the same box.
I can build the applications easily enough but the challenge I'm running into is we want to also have 3 different sub-directories in the repository to hold the different versions of the scripts and the sub-flows. The thought is the developers can keep working on modifying the code while the QA team tests the latest build without affecting each other. Then there is a separate production version of the script that has previously passed QA and is public facing.
Example: the directory structure where the scripts are stored.
\root of repository
     App-Dev
     App-QA
     App-Production
In a script, it seems that you have to browse to the location in the repository and directly select the subflow you want.
This is a challenge since when I copy my code from the development to the quality assurance directory I have to go thru and edit all the references to the sub-flow to the QA directory.
Ideally I'd like to do the following:
Define a string variable "Script-Path" and assign it to the desired directory
then call the subflow
SCRIPT[Script-Path\ScriptName.aef]
this doens't seem to work.
Has anyone found a solution to this challenge ?
Thanks

Hi,
Does the subflow script and the script that calls it are in the same folder??
If the script was originally loaded from disk, the subflow script must reside in the
same folder as the script that calls it. If the script was loaded from the Repository,
then the subflow must also reside in the Repository.
EDIT: My first comment was because I though you were trying to call a script directly from disk.
Now for scripts that are in the repository I did some tests. I have the root directory where I placed the main script and then I have another directory called Test where I placed the subflow script.
My main script is:
Start
Accept
PlayPrompt (audio.wav)
Subflow(subflowVariable)
End
*subflowVariable is a parameter with value "Test\subflowScript.aef"
My subflow script plays a prompt.
So when I test this everything worked just fine

Is it possible to use a variable value

with pop up message. Like that:
message 'Already recorded. Please type another number. The next possile number is ' PossibleNUmberVariableName type (I).
is such a thing possible?
Please help. I neen it.
Thanks.
deniz.

yes for every message there will be 4 message variables.
PossibleNUmberVariableName type (I).
message i888(sabapdocu) with 'Already recorded. Please type another number. The next possile number is ' PossibleNUmberVariableName.
where sabapdocu is a message class that was all ready availble, may be u need to use another one after creating. That message will contain 4 message variables &1 &2 &3 &4' like this.

Is it possible to use a variable semantically as an invisible "column"?

Here is a simple query that produces a table:
let
    Source = #table(     type table [First= number, Second= number],      {{1,1}, {2,4}, {3,4}}     ),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each [First]+[Second])
in
    #"Added Custom"
I would like to replace the formula used in #"Added Custom" with a variable which abstracts the calculation and the fields used. Something like this (which does not work):
let
    Source = #table(     type table [First= number, Second= number],      {{1,1}, {2,4}, {3,4}}     ),
    Sum = [First]+[Second],
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Sum, "Custom", each Sum)
in
    #"Added Custom"
Is this possible?

You can do this using a custom function. (Note: "each" is just shorthand for "(_) =>", i.e. a function with one argument named "_".)
let
    Source = #table(type table [First= number, Second= number], {{1,1}, {2,4}, {3,4}}),
    Sum = each [First]+[Second],
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Sum(_)),
in
    #"Added Custom"
You could also eliminate the "each" from Added Custom if you like:
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", Sum)

Is it possible to use a variable in the name of other variables?

Trying to avoid a long post; is there some command in Java that would allow a variable to be read before the rest of the statement it is in?
For example, using a pair "@" to encapsulate a variable with the mystery command I'm looking for:
*public class Example {*
*public static void main (String[] args) {*
Char variable = "A";
int @variable@_Status = 0;
So that this application would create an integer named "A_Status" and assign it a value of 0. Obviously, I'm not looking to be told that "int A_Status = 0" is the best way to do that, I'd like "variable" to be able to be defined by input or change somehow in the code. I have a gut feeling that this is impossible due to the compiler, but I'd like a more professional opinion. Anyone?

The variable "name" is a lot less important than you think. In fact, when your code is compiled, the computer doesn't care one jot about the name of the variable.
You should not worry about trying to do this, but rather should tell us the reason why you would even want this. If we knew that, we could show you a better way, guaranteed.
