Multiselect in dashboard prompt

Hi
Is there a way to make multiselect in dashboard prompt "case-insensitive"?
Thanks

Hi,
The following part is from Oracle Business Intelligence Infrastructure Installation and Configuration Guide, and it seems it only affects internal BI functions and does not affect the physical query sent to the database:
CASE_SENSITIVE_CHARACTER_COMPARISON
Specifies whether the Oracle Business Intelligence Server differentiates between uppercase and
lowercase characters when performing comparison operations.
Valid values are ON and OFF. When set to OFF, case is ignored. When set to ON, case is considered
for comparisons. For binary sorts, case sensitivity for the server and for the relational database
should set the same way.
This setting only applies to the Oracle Business Intelligence Server’s internal comparisons for caching
and for aggregation. Case sensitivity is a function of database operations and is set at the database
level. The CASE_SENSITIVE_CHARACTER_COMPARISON parameter allows the Oracle BI Server to
match the back-end database's functions

Multiselect dashboard prompt

If I have particular values in a numeric field in a report column (i.e. 1, 2, 3, or 4) is it possible to have a dashboard prompt multiselect only show those values to select from?

Sorry, this conversation got moved to another thread. Seems like I posted two threads about the same thing.
Dashboard Prompt dropdown

Need to store variables from multi-select in Dashboard Prompt.

I am using a Dashboard Prompt with a Drop-down List Control. The user selected value from this Drop-down List Control is stored in a Presentation Variable.
I would like to use a Multi-Select Prompt and store all multi-select values in a variable string. I have read that is not possible to use Presentation Variables with a Multi-Select Prompt.
Does anyone have a workaround for this?
Thanks,
Stan

Resetting Selection from a Multi-Select Dashboard Prompt in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I have a dashboard prompt, containing 3 columns which all are set to allow multi selection and default value is all values.
In 10g, after choosing some values in one of the prompt and clicking Go button, I can manually remove all my selection to reset it back to the default value (which is all values).
In 11g, however, I am not able to find how to do it. The reset button doesn't reset back to the default value (which is all values). So what I have to do is to use the "Clear All Customization", which will clear all my selection for all the prompts.
Any suggestion on how to do this? Thanks in advance!

Hi Deepak, actually I don't need any script to do that in 10g.
It's a built in feature in 10g. If you remember, for multiselect prompt in 10, we will click the "..." button to show the box for value selection. Then we can move values from left box to the right to include them, or vice versa to not include them. So by moving the values from right box to the left, I essentially revert to default value which mean all values will be shown.
In 11g, this box is not shown anymore, instead we are checking the values one by one from a drop down list.
Any suggestion? Thanks.

Javascript while selecting all values in multiselect option of prompt

Hi,
I am getting javascript error while doing following steps. It seems to be a bug in OBIEE.
- Create a dashboard prompt, add a column with multiselect option.
- Use this dashboard prompt in your report.
- Click '...' button to select values for this dashboard prompt.
- Now click '<<' button to include all values and then click 'ok' button.
- Now again click '...' button to modify values.
When you click, you will get a javascript error. If debugging is ON in your browser setting then you will get a prompt. If it is turned OFF you can see it at the bottom left corner of your page.
Any idea how can i resolve this issue?
Thanks.
Aasim Khan.

No, I'm not getting the error. Able to do all the steps specified by you and even adding, removing etc... Tested in 10.1.3.4.
Which version of OBIEE are you using?
I think it might be because of large number of values it is extracting in your case (don't know exactly).

Constraint not working in OBIEE 10G Dashboard prompt

Hi All,
We are facing a issue in constraint in dashboard prompt.
We have two database tables Employee and Calender. Both are joined through time_id key.
We have made a report from coloumns of both.
We have made dashboard prompt consisting of 3 coloums i.e.
Month-YEAR,
Week Ending,
Shift Date
First two are from same employee table and Shift date is from calender.
Both dimensions are also in Awnsers as it is.
All 3 prompts are multiselect. Constraint box is checked in all.
Issue is that, When I select a Month-Year in prompt, Corresponding 4 or 5 weekendings comes in multiselect box.
But when i select a week ending from here, i don't get corresponding Seven dates for that particular week.
Instead all shift dates available there in calender table comes in multiselect.
Does constraint don't work on coloums of different dimensions or tables?
Any body , Please reply with a possible solution.
Regards,
Apurv Mishra

Thanks @786372 for your response..
But, If we will make view for those coloums , then how can we apply ''Is Prompted" for prompted coloum in our report filters.
As per my understanding, to make ''Is Prompted '' work , Fx (coloum formula) should be same in report and prompt.
So, how can we create a different view only for prompt.
We may use presentation variable to make above work, i won't be able to create multi-select prompt.

Analysis prompt vs. dashboard prompt for setting presentation variable

I have a requirement to include a prompt on the analysis (not dashboard) to select a year. This sets a variable when is then used in Report A. I then use the variable for a column filter, which passes 3 parameters to Report B.
If doing this using a dashboard prompt, everything works as expected. The variable and other row items are used in Report A and passed to the Report B via a Navigate to BI Content Action Link. When using the analysis prompt to set the presentation variable Report A works but then I get this error when navigating to Report B.
An invalid object was accessed during evaluation.
Error Details
Error Codes: QBB4RZQS:SDKE4UTF

I have a report in which I use Oracle analytic functions. But I have to show only subset of all records because of analytic functions. In case of ListBox I use a presentation variable in a FILTER(expr1 USING expr2). How may I do this in case of multiselect prompt? It doesn't support presentation values.

Cascade dashboard prompts in OBIEE 10.1.3.4

Hi,
Is there any concept of Cascade dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
I have a requirement as described below -
Start date and End date dashboard prompts. (Calendar) - Results of Start Date and End Date selected are captured in the Presentation Variables Startdt, Enddt respectively.
Promotions dashboard prompt (multi select) - This Prompt should show the results from the SQL Query -
SELECT "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."National Promotion" FROM "SPDM" where "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."NP Status"='Active' and "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."NP Region"='Canada' and "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."NP Type"='National' and "- Calendar".Date BETWEEN DATE '@{Startdt}{06/28/2010}' AND DATE '@{Enddt}{12/31/2010}'
But the results are not populating in the Promotions Prompt. Can anyone help me in fixing this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sri

Hi
This is a known OBIEE bug.
Please refer http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/presentation_variable_initialization
With a Multi Select dashboard prompt
You cannot set a Presentation Variable in a Multi Select dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10g. This is expected behavior. OBIEE 10g is working as designed. A Presentation variable can assume a single value. Because of that, presentation variables are not available when using multi select prompts. OBIEE 11g will introduce the ability to set Presentation Variables when using multi select prompts. In 10g you can try as a workaround using more than 1 prompt.
I don't more work arounds than listed here:
http://obiee-blog.info/answers/multiselect-prompt-presentation-variable/
But, these work arounds might not suffice your issue.
Please let me know if you come up with a better solution.
Good Luck.

Dashboard prompt view customization

Hi,
Is it possible customize multiselect box style in dashboard prompt - change size of the box, number available options per page, color and etc?
Thanks in advance

I think this requires to create a new css style in {OracleBI}\web\app\res\s_oracle10\b_mozilla location , but I cannot figure out which file should I refer for the mentioned problem. I am using OBIEE version 10.1.3
Any guidance would be really helpful.

Dashboard Prompt - Variable - Populate/Calculate column in Pivot Table

1. I have a need to store the values of three prompts (Year, Quarter and Month) in my dashboard prompt, So a 'column A' (calculated value/measure) can be dynamically populated in my pivot table based on the users chioce.
These prompts have to be multiselect prompts as the user may opt for 2 or more years/ quarters / months etc.
I don't think Presentation Variable would work as I have to use multiselect prompt, I have been trying Non-System Session Variables & dynamic repository variables- but could not get it to work. I am thinking only of using one of the three variables (session/dynamic/presentation) so far, is there a better way to tackle this?
Any help/pointers would be much appreciated, thanks

I should clarify a little: our sales "process" is very simple (not really a process). We do not use Opportunities. We enter new Leads, and if we win the business, we convert them to a Contact. Thus, our "win %" is simply the number of converted Leads divided by the total Leads for a given period. In my table I would like to display the % of Leads for a given period that are converted to Contacts.
Thanks again.

Ow to put Multiple Dashboard Prompt on one field

Hi,
I want to make multiple prompts on one field. (I can't use multiselect because in the report it should work as a cascading "and" function)
The problem at the moment is, when I select the first value the second value is selected as well.
Another approach was to set a presentation variable on two fields with different column names, but if i put in the value in an edit box the filter with the presentation variables does not work in the reports.
Does someone has an idea how to get this.
Kind Regards,

Hi
If I understood you correctly, you must change the Fx formula for both prompts in order to be different.
Let say for the first prompt : fx set to CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN GEOGRAPHY.REGION_NAME ELSE ‘You can put Anything Here’ END
and for the second : CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN GEOGRAPHY.REGION_NAME ELSE ‘Another text’ END
where GEOGRAPHY.REGION_NAME is your "Same field."

NULL and Unspecified in Dashboard prompts after upgrading 10g to 11g OBIEE

Hi All,
We are working on OBI upgradation project from 10g to 11.1.1.6.5. We are facing one issue in Dashboard prompt level. If we can create Dashboard prompt on a column, its giving "NULL", "Unspecified" additionally. But, in 10g there are no extra values.
And the 10g, 11g instances are pointing to the same database and there are no NULL, Unspecified values in Database level.
Through some blogs and articles we found some solutions n are below.
To remove NULL:
-->Go to the Physical Column properties in Physical Layer and Disable the Nullable option by uncheck the box.
-->Go to the Database Features in Physical Layer and disable value to NULL_SUPPORTED.
-->Go to Edit Dashboard Prompt, in Choice List Values drop-down list select SQL Results.
To remove Unspecified:
-->Go to Edit Dashboard Prompt, in Choice List Values drop-down list select SQL Results, then write the SQL statements as columnname is not equals to "Unspecfied" ( In this way we can able to remove Null's also.)
-->Go to Content tab of LTS, in Where clause write an SQL query to restrict Unspecified values.
Note: CHeck with ETL, because if they maintains the Default value is Null when the Datatype is Character and they can maintain 9999 or #### if the datatype is Numeric. And check the Physical query and debug it carefully.
But, we have very big Repository and we have huge no.of Dashboard prompts. So, its not an easy thing to manage by using above solutions. Correct me if there are any mistakes in above.
Any ideas on this...?
Appreciate your help on this..!
Thanks in Advance,
Raghu Nagadasari

Hi Frnds,
As of now, i found the only solution for the above mentioned issue that how to avoid NULL in dashboard prompt level:
Go to the Physical Column properties in Physical Layer and Disable the Nullable option by uncheck the box.
We have done this manually for all tables.
Appreciate if u have any other ideas.!!

Error while creating presentation variable in Dashboard prompts.

Hi Team
I have been going through the guidelines and procedures to create a presentation variable to use it in the dashboard prompt ( mentioned in the previous blogs ) .I followed the below link :
http://oraclebi.blog.com/example-of-presentation-variable-in-obiee/
I am using the following query :
========================================================
SELECT case when 1=0 then "D2 Market"."M04 Region"
else 1
end
FROM "Sample Sales"
UNION ALL
select case when 1=0 then "D2 Market"."M04 Region"
else 2
end
FROM "Sample Sales"
=========================================================
I just wanted to create 2 dummy choices i.e 1 and 2 .But while soing so I am getting erros in the case statements :
=========================================================
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27005] Unresolved column: "D2 Market"."M04 Region". (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT case when 1=0 then "D2 Market"."M04 Region" else 1 end FROM "Sample Sales" UNION ALL select case when 1=0 then "D2 Market"."M04 Region" else 2 end FROM "Sample Sales"
=========================================================.
Please suggest and let me know if there is any other method to have 2 chioces in drop down i.e 1 and 2 using SQL statements while creating the dashboard prompts.
Thanks

Hi Rachit
You answered my doubt.This one really works . Thanks a lot !
But i have one more doubt i.e if have created the Presentation variable in the dashboard prompt and I want to use it in a report
i.e the scenario is If I have created a new column i.e " Revised Salary " in the Presentation Services and want the values to be entered there dynamically upon end users choice. For ex the end user selecrts value of 1 then the report would display an increament of 500 to all the employees in the " Revised Salary " column and if the end user select value of 2 .. the report would display a decrement of 500 in the " Revised salary column".
I am getting the following error :
========================================================================
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 59001] Binary Logical operation is not permitted on VARBINARY, INTEGER operand(s). (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT "D0 Time"."T05 Per Name Year" saw_0, "D2 Market"."M04 Region" saw_1, "D4 Product"."P01 Product" saw_2, "D1 Customer"."C1 Cust Name" saw_3, "F1 Revenue"."1-01 Revenue (Sum All)" saw_4, CASE WHEN 0='1' then "F1 Revenue"."1-01 Revenue (Sum All)" +500 else "F1 Revenue"."1-01 Revenue (Sum All)" - 500 end saw_5 FROM "Sample Sales" ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1, saw_2, saw_3
========================================================================
Please NOTE : The column on which I want to do an increament is : "F1 Revenue"."1-01 Revenue (Sum All)"
