Multiselect & Drop-down Prompt usage in Obiee 10g

Hi all,
A prompt is created using the same column twice.
First prompt,say Cust name with drop-down as option and it is set to constraint.
Second prompt Cust name created with Multi-select as option for the user to select.
When I select particular values from the multiselected option prompt, those values are reflected in drop-down listed prompt. This is working fine.
But when I choose values using begins with option in the multiselect prompt(Eg: Inside the multiselect dialog, first i'm filtering the values as cust name begins with AR), then it is not reflected in the Drop-down prompt.
My expectation is that it should get reflected whether the user chooses with/without search option in the multiselect dialog.
Guys, pl share your ideas....

arul

New-> Dashboard -> in Name section gives the name of new dashboard as u want in drop down -> in Location section choose the path from drop down list or u can browse -> click on OK button.
Thanks,

Column hiding based on Dashboard Prompt value in OBIEE 10g

Hi,
Can you please let me know, whether there is any possibility of "hiding the column based on the value selected in the Dashboard Prompt".
Your suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Siva

Hi,
Simple way to solve it.
Steps
1.) set presentation variable for each columns of your dashboard prompt
2.) edit your analysis of table/pivot view ---> colums formate header in this place just keep it your presentation variable values like below
E.x
@{ccy}
Then save it and then test out

Combo Prompt Design (with Drop down and Multi-select prompts)

Hi folks,
I have the following prompt design requirement in OBIEE dashboard:
PromptA: should be a drop-down prompt
PromptB: should be a multi-select prompt
PromptB should list the values contained in either of two dimensions (lets say: Product Names and Product Group Names ). Lets define Product Names to be the names of individual products, while the Product Group Names is the names of a predefined collection of certain products.
The string values that should appear in the PromptA then are: Product Names and Product Group Names. Consequent to the selection made in PromptA, values from one of these two dimensions should be dynamically displayed in PromptB. That is, if Product Names is selected from PromptA, then all product names from the Product Names dimension should be listed in PromptB. And if Product Group Names is selected from PromptA, then all product group names from the Product Group Names dimension should be listed in PromptB.
Can anyone tell me how do I relate the above two prompts and have my reports to work accordingly?
regards,
Mahendra

Hi
For this you have to do two dashboard prompt
In promptA:
select one dummy column,
In control dropdown list select dropdown
In show dropdown list select SQL Results
In sql results write the following query
Select case when 1=0 then tabelname.column else 'Tablename.ProductNames' end from subjectarea name
Union all
Select case when 1=0 then tablename.column else 'Tablename.ProductGroupName' end from subject are name
In set variable ->set presentation variable called var1
Saved it as PromptA
In PromptB:
Select one dummy column in that column forumla write @{var1}
but problem with this approach it shows two Go buttons for two prompts to avoide this create custom Go button
for creating custom Go button see this link

Try this its not work let me know

Standalone table as drop down and restrict values in the report

Hi,
I have report where the measure values has to be restricted based on the threshold value table.Threshold values has the below values.
Threshold table:
threshold id threshold values descr
13345 10000 initial
13346 20000 start
13347 30000 initial start
13348 40000 end
13349 50000 last end
This table is independent of the star schema for the OBIEE report and created for the user given threshold values.
Threshold values shud be shown has drop down values and the drop down prompt is always GTE to 10,000 by default.The report shud display measure values GTE 10,000 in the 4 measure columns in the report by deafult based on the default prompt and shud work as per the user selection in the drop down.
I was planning to implement this using Presentation variable but when i select GTE in the Prompt ,this option is not present.Please throw some light on this issue.
Thanks in Advance.

Use is equal to operator in the prompt..change the show section to all values to sql results..after that change the column formula to case when 1=0 then <some column> else 1 end..now you can make it a presentation variable..use that variable in your report with is greater that operator in your report..hth..

ADF Databound Drop Down causes "invalid for working set view object"

I've created a drop-down list per the instructions laid out in the "Creating a Databound Drop Down List in Oracle JDeveloper 10g" HowTo ( http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/tips/mills/databound_lists.html ). The list works fine when editing an existing row, but I get the following error when working with a newly created row:
JBO-25048: Operation getAllRowsInRange is invalid for a working set view object.
The drop-down list actually gets populated correctly despite the error. The error only occurs the first time I access the detail page that uses the list. I'm guessing that this may have something to do with the fact that the row value associated with with list is null.
Any ideas on how to workaround this one? Thanks.

Thanks Duncan.
The ViewObject that is bound to the list is only used for the purposes of the list so there shouldn't be any problem with its state being altered elsewhere. Not sure if that's what you mean by collisions or not...
I tried adding a "null/empty" value to the list but the results are the same.
What is meant by "working set view object"? What other types of ViewObject are there? How are they different and how does someone know which operations are valid/invalid?

OBIEE Prompt - Drop Down List security restrictions .... Helppp

Hi all,
How can I put the security on a Drop Down Select List ?
For Example, I have a Department Prompt for a dashboard.
So I want put something like:
the User of Department 1 can see and select our department (1)
the User of Department 2 can see and select our department (2)
the Admin can see and select All Departments.
How can I do that?
thanks.

You need to implement security filters in your RPD to automatically restrict the values returned by the BI Server.
You will need a way of mapping User of department 1 to the filter value , you can hold this in table if you want - Use an initialization block to populate a session variable per user , then filter the Department logical table using that session variable.
Its been covered in a few blogs - just search OBIEE security filters.

Cascaded Prompts in OBIEE 10g

Hello friends,
Can some help me to understand how to implement cascaded prompts in OBIEE 10g? My situation is:
I have three Prompts P1,P2 and P3
P1: Values are comming from a table
P2: Shows the value from a Stored Procedure, such that one stored procedure takes input parameter from P1
P3: Shows the value from a stored procedure , such that one stored procedure takes input parameter from P2
After selecting value from P3 , I will run the report. So here P2 is based on P1 , P3 is based on P2, ie cascaded.
I have tried this by checking the box Constrain for P2 and P3 (red some where that if we make a prompt with checked the Constrain box then its value depends on the previous prompt)
But for me this is not working even if check the Constrain box.
Can I some one help me to do this.
Thanks,
Mithun

Hi Krish,
Value of P1 Im passing to a stored procedure (say SP1) to populate P2, same way values in the P2 (which is the result from SP1) I'm passing to SP2 which in turn gives the values in P3.
I'm using the SP1 and SP2 in the Physical layer as
EXEC SP_NAME @parameter1 = 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ID)'
Here ID is the session variable I have created.
And in the Dashboard, I have created the prompt P1 (on a field which is from a table), then the value is passed to the variable ID by choosing the 'Request Variable' option in the Set Variable drop down.
Same way I did for other SP by passing the value from P2..
Here for P2 and P3 I have checked the box for constrain so that value of P2 is depended on P1 and value of P3 is depended on P2.
But my problem is this method of cascading is not working.. that is P2 value is not changing based on the value I'm selecting in P1 ans same way for P3...
Hope my issue is clear to you..
Thanks,
Mithun

Switch Section in a dashboard based on the selection of Prompts (OBIEE 10G)

Hi All,
I have a requirement : I have to switch Section in a dashboard based on the selection of Prompts (OBIEE 10G).
Lets say I have 1 report in section1 and another report in section2 of a dashboard. I have a dashboard prompt,now say when the user does not select any value in a prompt I have to show section1 and when he selects values in a prompt then I have to show section2 of the dashboard. I tries this using Guided Navigation Link and presentation variable but there is a limitation that I have to select only one value in the prompt as i have created presentation variable.
But the client wants the prompt as Multi Select. in this case I can 't use the presentation variable.
How can I fulfil this requirement.Please let me know.
Thanks,
Krishna

How you create your multiselect prompt? Is it based on a column? Using multiselect prompt you'll get an issue in this case. The prompt behavior with choosing all values and choosing nothing is equivalent. But your requirement has different behavior lines.

'Unspecified' value in the Prompt drop down

Hi All,
I am facing a very unusual issue in my report.
The 'Unspecified' value keeps showing up in the Prompt drop down even if doesn't really exist in the Database.
This 'Unspecified' value refers to the NULL value.
I have tried using a filter on that field with filter "is Not Null', but this does not seem to work either.
I am stuck.
Does any one have a solution to this?
Many Thanks,
-Roy

Try this simple thing:
for your prompt field in the design, select sql results under show option and write a query that SELECT field name FROM ... WHERE field name NOT NULL.
That's it, no need of filter in the report.

How to initialize a Prompt drop-down list using a Repository Variable.

Hi,
the aim is to fill a drop-down list of a Year prompt only with year values that can provide data.
This Show list SQL statement works:
SELECT Time."Year" FROM "AnalysisCatalog"
WHERE Time."Year" <= 2007
Using the maxYear Repository Variable does not work:
SELECT Time."Year" FROM "AnalysisCatalog"
WHERE Time."Year" <= @{biServer.variables[’maxYear’]}
Error Codes: G689FFB3:SDKE4UTF
Expression: biServer.variables[’maxYear’]
How can I achive the result without hardcoding the Year 2007?
Mny thx Thomas

Hi,
Actually this error does not cause any harm except a presentation inconvenience. In my multi-select prompt I am using variable expression with dynamic repository variable. Dashboard results are correct. Just variable's value does not appear on page (error Error Codes: G689FFB3:SDKE4UTF
Expression: @{biServer.variables['CUR_CAL_PER_MONTH_NAME']}). Pushing "GO" button on the prompt fixing the error but it's actually second execution of the dashboard.
Any ideas ??

Drop Down Menu on Jdeveloper 10g - REVISED

Hello Gurus, I am using Jdeveloper 10g. I know that drop down menus are not supported in Jdeveloper10g/ADF and available from it's next release onwards which is Jdeveloper 11g. Hence, to develop drop down menus on a menu bar I am using HTML and Java script. The issue that I am facing - the horizontal menubar displays always on the top of the webpage overlapping other web page objects. This is not where we want to display the menu bar. Instead, it needs to show up somewhere on the middle of the web page. No matter what I do, it displays the menu bar on top most part of the web page. Always. Below is the code snippet. Any help in this regard is highly appreciated. Thank you for your time and efforts.

Changing Date Format in Dashboard prompt drop down list

Hi friends, my dashboard shows a drop down list for dates , which are in format "7/1/2008 12:00:00 AM".
This is defined datetime datatype in sql server. Is there any way to change the date format in dashboard prompt to just "7/1/2008" without doing it in database side.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks and regards

Hi... Toony
In Dashboard Prompt, you have option to select i.e. show SQL,
there you write the Logical SQL or Advanced SQL: <em>select cast("timestampCOLUMN" as date) from "PresentationLayerName"</em>
this is simple way without changing anything in rpd side...
And if you want the timestamp column somewhere in some reports you can use that column directly.
If you don't want you need to cast it as DATE.
If your question was answered then put it as answered and mark it as correct... ;)
