OBIEE Prompt

Hi All,
I am using OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1.
I have an issue with prompt. I have created a prompt on "PO Number". It is working in two different reports. But when I am using this prompt in another report it is not showing the selected value. Though I have prompted that "PO Number" field in the report(in answer).
Please assist me in this regard.
Thanks in Advance
Deepak

hii
The problem is the same prompt working in Open PO report, Overdue shipment report but not working in rest of my reports. Suppose in Savings analysis report I have added that prompt and I have
given one specific value in the prompt; it will not select that specified PO.. It will show all the POs. But if I check it in Open PO report that value will be selected.
It is behaving strange...!!

  • Forcing the user to select one of the OBIEE prompts?

    Hi All,
    Iam new to OBIEE I have a requirment in which I need to force the user to select one of the selection from prompts in OBIEE eg: you need to select one of the contry either India or America to get the other prompts enable and filter the report?
    Any help is highly appriciated.

    Hi,
    You can set a default value in your first dashboard prompt like 'please select a country' then if the user doesn't select something no result will be returned until he selects a valid value
    Then make the other dashboard prompts constrained.

  • 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.

  • OBIEE prompt - 'Please Wait' or 'loading'

    Hi,
    I have not upgraded anything. I have many prompts in a single report and one one prompt does not display value. It just says 'Please wait' forever. What could be the reason if other prompts are working fine? I have re-imported this  column and tried too. Yet, no success.
    Thanks

    Hi, does your prompt use the "Limits values by" ? Because this option generate more complex queries using a fact table to join dimensions together and limit the list of values.
    You can also have a look in the logs for the physical query OBIEE is running so you will be fixed of what's happening and why it's taking long time.

  • Javascript:void(null) error on clicking OBIEE prompts

    Hi Gurus,
    I have an OBIEE application with four tabs. It was working fine earlier but now when I click on any tabs in the 1st page of the application (even the "Page options" tab in the top right corner), am getting Javascript:void(null) error in the left bottom corner of the page and nothing is happening means the page is not at all navigating. I tried by disabling the pop-up blocker also, even then am getting the same error. Can anyone provide me a solution for this. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Evgeniy,
    Thanks for your reply. But that doesnt solve my issue. I cross-verified all the .js files used in the 1st page of my OBIEE application and am sure no modifications had been done in any of the .js files. Is anything else causing this issue. Kindly help. Thanks alot.

    Hi,
    Seems to be standard feature in 11.1.1.6:
    "System Setting — The administrator modifies the system configuration file to enable the auto-complete functionality for Oracle BI EE. When this functionality is turned on, all users can access the auto-complete prompts functionality. If this functionality is turned off, then all auto-complete fields are disabled on the Oracle BI EE user interface.

    Greetings All!!
    We are trying to create the cascading prompt. The region prompt has all column values and when we click on all column values,

    work for all column values since we do not want to show the state values after clicking column values.
    Any feedbacks are highly welcome.
    region 1

  • Concatenated Prompts in OBIEE answers

    Hello All,
    Can we have Concatenated OBIEE Prompts in Answers(Not in Dashboard)
    ex: Vendor_Number || Vendor_Name..
    it has to be displayed in this way when the user runs the request. either can go into the DB to process the request. This is something like Lookups in the Oracle EBS we have Value -- Description
    Can we achieve this in OBIEE if so How?
    Please help me.. thanx in advance.....
    Kiran

    Kiran,
    Could you explain more clearly what your aim is here, is this a saved query to which users have access through Answers? If so why is prompting necessary when they will have access to the query criteria.
    You can concatenate the columns in the column formula, a filter on that coulmn would then require the value entered to be a valid concatenation of the two columns.
    It seems like an odd thing to do in Answers though, rather than a dashboard.
    regards
    Ed

  • Does Prompts Hit Cache

    Hi,
    I found an interesting (at least for me) case regarding OBIEE Prompts.
    Earlier: We were using a dimension let’s say : Department in our RPD and hence dashboards. Later due to SCD type2 and other backend problems we had to create a new Table and then Dimension called Department_T2 in RPD and we replaced Department with Department_T2 in all our reports and prompts.
    But, we could not DELETE or REMOVE (old) Department from RPD (BMM and Presentation) because some reports (beyond our control) were using them so we just kept it and did not use it.
    In each dimensions (Department and Department_T2) we have a column "Account Name". Name(s) in all the 3 layers of RPD is same but of course backend table and column is completely different.
    Now, our reports were showing correct data. Let’s say there is a "Account Name" : XYZ. I can see it in my reports when I leave the MultiSelect Prompt blank (means 'All').
    BUT, surprisingly I cannot See XYZ in MultiSelect Prompt 'Choices Returned’, when I try to use prompt to apply filters.
    I checked the result 'Choices Returned' they were coming from OLD Department."Account Name" dimension column where XYZ is not there. Now, I checked Prompt Fx its Department_T2."Account Name" so everything was right.
    Then I tried running same RPD on a different/test server, there prompts displayed correct 'Choices Returned', so apparently there was some issue with cache and not with RPD. So I tried Call SAPurgeAllCache(); in "Issue SQL" option.
    After that I could see correct results in my main server reports.
    My question is:
    How do prompts behave in terms of cache. I did the changes at least 2 week ago then how come prompts where fetching data from old table and not new.
    Also I think it’s misleading because I guess when we talk or read about obiee cache we talk in terms of querys fired to fetch data in reports. Doesn’t a prompt should follow or use same cache. I above case clearly prompts were using some sort of different cache then query/reports as data was correct in reports.
    If possible please try in explaining “Prompt’s Cache” management
    Thanks

    Ηello,
    Yes i faced the same issue, but slightly different. I have created a prompt from a table lets say x on cloumn x1.
    now I used to do a multiselect first time it pull the data from server. Now i have constrain something in table. so i Put the where clause condition in LTS. after that when i tested the same prompt it shows the same result, because it was hitting cache. Then I delted cache from my dev envt and tried again and it shows the correct result. So according to me it hit the cache.

  • Capital letters problem

    Hello guys,
    A user yesterday reported that he couldn't get the list of his company when he tried to search with his company's first word in the search prompt(dashboard prompt)....
    The issue is he tried searching with small letters whereas his company names were stored in database in capital letters.
    Is there a way to fix this...or a workaround to restrict users to entering only in capital letters whether or not caps is ON on the keyboard.
