Only one Apply button for Dashboard Prompt in obiee

Hi experts,
We have a need wer we need to place prompts at specified places like one at right top then next 3 one below other. But only one Apply button.
Please let me know how to customize OBIEE 11.1.1.5 to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You are using OBIEE 11g ,so constrain the second report should be on the first prompt.I mean,In the second prompt properties we have an option like "based on the other prompt";where you need to give the first prompt column name.like wise third prompt also.
Then you will get only one apply button for 3 prompts.
mar if helpful/correct..
thanks,

to hide multi-go-button in prompts and it works for IE 7 and firefox 2.0* with 10.3.4.1.
Now since 10.1.3.4.1 is certified with firefox 3.0* ,when i use this same script in firefox 3.0* for my prompts it doesn’t work .
Any idea why ? Please help me with this,as i want to use this hide go button feature in firefox 3.0* too.
Are these scripts browser to browser incompatible ? If yes from where can i get the script for firefox 3.0* ?

Hide Reset button in dashboard prompt

Helllo,
There is a issue with the reset button in the dashboard prompt where it clears the selections made, only if apply button is not clicked on. As per oracle that is the intended functionality of 'reset' button, however if you want to clear the selections made in the prompt -- go to clear my selections!
Now this is the senario i am facing, i made a custom link and placed bellow the prompt which would clear the selections made, now i want to hide the 'reset' button or atleast change change the name from reset to something else like 'clear' and change the position of the button.
Could anybody help me how I can achieve this, may be tweak xml of prompt template, i dont know. I think it is ok until the functionality of this button is changed by oracle in next releases to tweak the source xml for this prompt, so that I dont have to do it individually for every prompt.
Thanks!

Refer...http://kalpesh-obiee-eklavya.blogspot.com/2011/06/reset-button-on-prompts-11g.html
I'd say rather than customizing XML here just give a static text message below/above the prompt stating the difference between Reset and Clear Prompts Button Functionality. Users can make use of both as per requirement.
Hope this helps

JTabbedPane with one close button for all tabs

Hello,
there have several solutions been posted for JTabbedPane subclasses that provide tabs with icons working as close buttons on each tab. I think this is not user friendly because the user can hit the close button accidentally when selecting a tab. And a "really close?" dialog is clumsy.
Therefore I prefer the Netscape browser style: There's only one close button rightmost of the tabs that closes the selected tab. But I don't have an idea how to achieve this.
Does anyone have a solution or an idea? Thanks in advance for help.

This solution has been posted several times and is not what I wanted. But I rewrote the thing so that
- the close buttons are on the right hand side of each tab so that it is conformant with Eclipse style, and
- the close buttons work only with a left click (see code below).
I just wonder how I can move the text a little bit to the left so that the appearence is a bit more balanced. Can someone help, please?

Calculations in Page /Dashboard Prompts in OBIEE doesnt work for me .

Hi ,
Iam trying to create a Custom Aging Report instead of using the OOB Aging report . In the report I created column ( only at this report level) "% of Outstanding Amount in AR Past Due 1- 30 Days" by changing the "Fx" and Now I can see the $$ amount that customer has due as well as how much % is that in the total Outstanding Amount. The report is coming good. Now I have a business requirement that the groupings such as 1-30 , 31-60 , 61-90 , and 90+ should be given in dashboard prompt . I could create 1-30 , 31-60 , 61-90 but 90+ ( 91-180, 181-360 , 360+) prompt is not working as I tried to concat these three groupings and iam getting the error message as " Un resolved column error , Concat Function does not support." and other thing when i tried to create a calcualted % prompt even that is giving me error message as " Unresolved colum. I think the Calculations doesnt work for Dashboard prompts ..but iam not sure ..May be Iam missing somethg , Can anybody pls help me in getting this fixed . How to create a calculation for page/Dashbaord Prompts ...I tried using the sql too but still it gives the error.
Please help
Thankyou
Karthik

In your dashboard prompt properties you need to tick the 'Constrain' box for all the columns that you want be constrained by the other choices, e.g Year, Quarter, Month.
Only tick Product Name / Order Name if you want these to be constrained also but bear in mind it could cause a performance delay if you are having to join tables to get the constrain.
Hope this helps,

Seperate Subject area for Dashboard Prompts

Hi,
Is there any way by which we can create seperate subject areas for OBIEE dashboard prompt only??
Thanks

Hi,
Yes we can create separate subject areas for dashboard prompt's alone. Here is a case
Say we need to create a constraint enabled prompt in our dashboard. So we bring in two dimension columns into the prompt.
When we run the prompt, the queries across these two dimensions go through a fact table (Because the only way two different dimensions can be joined is through a fact . This fact table is chosen by BI Server intelligently at run time and that can be set through Implicit Fact column also though). In this case there is a chance that some of the dimension rows might get skipped in the constrained prompt as all of the records might not be present in the fact table.
To mitigate this issue, we might want to create a separate subject area for dashboard prompts alone (using some fact less fact or by having a surrogate key in the 2nd dimension table etc).
Hope I am clear :)
Thank you,
Dhar

Fbl5n: The printer provides me only one customer items for each page...

Hi all,
launching t.code FBL5N, and printing the repost list, the printer provides me only one customer items for each page...
I'd like obtaining more customer items for each page...
What to do?
Thanks

Hi Umberto..
Thats how the standard report works..
To meet your requirement, you would probably need to look at another standard report.
In case you need further clarification, please feel free to write to me..

Have you chosen only one option button at a time

Hi...
    I have got a problem while working with the option button in screen painter.I have three option buttons. In Run time, I want to select only one option button, mean while the other two option buttons should not be selected.
~
Thank You in Advance
Roseline Christina. B

Hi,
Please check the following
To select an OptionBtn item, the item must be bound to a data source (UserDataSource or DBDataSource) using OptionBtn.DataBind
The following is the sample to add 2 option buttons and group them.
Dim optBtn As SAPbouiCOM.OptionBtn
    Dim oFrm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
    Dim oItem As SAPbouiCOM.Item
    Dim oUserdatasource As SAPbouiCOM.UserDataSource
    ' set oFrm = ..
    'Option 1
    Set oItem = oFrm.Items.Add("BD_rbRes", it_OPTION_BUTTON)
    oItem.Left = 240
    oItem.Top = 10
    oItem.Height = 16
    oItem.Width = 220
    Set optBtn = oItem.Specific
    optBtn.Caption = "Button One"
    Set oUserDataSource = oFrm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add("BD_resDS", dt_SHORT_TEXT,1)
    optBtn.DataBind.SetBound True, , "BD_resDS"
    'Option 2
     Set oItem = oFrm.Items.Add("BD_rbPost", it_OPTION_BUTTON)
     oItem.Left = 240
     oItem.Top = 30
     oItem.Height = 16
     oItem.Width = 220
     Set optBtn = oItem.Specific
     optBtn.Caption = "Button Two"
     oItem.Visible = False
     Set optBtn = oItem.Specific
     optBtn.GroupWith ("BD_rbRes")
Hope this helps,

Can we have one submit button for mutliple report regions querying same tbl

Hello,
I have a normal multiple report regions in a page with some editable in those regions, these report regions are querying the same table. Now, Is it possible to have one submit button for all the report regions to update the underlying table data?
Can anyone please help me out with this one.
thanks,
Orton

First you'll almost certainly need to roll your own - the built-in stuff is fairly basic and more than likely won't help.
It sounds like your process flow should be something like:
1) Person clicks button.
2) You do a select for update in the process to get the loan id and put it in the person's queue. At this point you may want to flag that column as having been assigned so it can't be assigned again.
3) You then forward them to the form to enter data. Personally I would create my own items and processses and forgo the built-in form stuff but you may be able to use the Automated Row Fetch. If you do your own, you just reference the objects like:
insert into table
values(:P1_1, :P1_2, :P1_3)Edit - Another way would be to use a regular form and insert Stop/Start Tables - so it can look like a different section, but it really is just a label. Thats another option.

Default width for dashboard prompts

Hi:
Does anyone know how to set the default width for dashboard prompts? Is there an XML file that contains this value?
Thanks.

During creation of prompts you can set additional format just check available icon on that layout. If it is 10g just look at above the heading 'Dashboard Prompt'.
Pls mark correct/helpful if helps

How to realize this reqirement in the dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10G?

Hi,
I have a new query about dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10g..
All below is needed to Operator in the dashboard prompt.
We have 4 columns, 4 columns using multi-select type need to constrain together and need to show value which is related with product..
e.g.
Now I display "REGION" column using multi-select in Control, and I need to show data which product name is not null. After I add "where product name is not null" in the SQL results in Show, then I cannot use the Constrain box.. and I cannot set any variable if I using multi-select type..
So anybody have any idea about this?
Your reply will be highly appreciate..

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.

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.

Disable only one radio button in a Radiogroup using Dynamic Actions.

Hello everyone,
I'm using Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit with Application Express 4.1.1.00.23
I have a radio group which has 3 radio buttons. Now in certain situations I want only one of the radio buttons to be disabled.
I don't want to resort to Javascript for this as that would mean another piece of code that can go wrong and introduce bugs.
Is this possible using a Dynamic Action? Although DA is also JS, I feel its much easier to maintain.
Regards,
Arijit

I know, you did ask for DA
Try to put this code in DA and run this code on page load
=-==========================================
var pOption = 3;
var nameArray = $('input[name=p_v01]').map(function(){
                    return this.getAttribute('value');
                }).get();
for (i=0;i<nameArray.length;i++){
    if(pOption == nameArray[i]){
        $("#P2_CHECK1_"+i).attr("disabled", true);
==========================================
Plain Javascript
<script type ="text/javascript">
function disableCheckBox(pOption){
    var nameArray = $('input[name=p_v01]').map(function(){
                        return this.getAttribute('value');
                    }).get();
    for (i=0;i<nameArray.length;i++){
        if(pOption == nameArray[i]){
            $("#P2_CHECK1_"+i).attr("disabled", true);
$(document).ready(function(){
    var chkOption = 3;
    disableCheckBox(chkOption);
</script>

Problem while passing parameters for dashboard prompts in URL

Hi,
We have created a dashboard on OBI which has some dashboard prompts. We have a requirement that we shall open the dashboard from an external application. We are doing this by invoking an URL. We want the dashboard to turn with prompts already being applied.
I was trying to open the dashboard with the following URL
http://<servername:port>/analytics/saw.dll?Go&PortalPath=/shared/Procurement%20and%20Spend/_portal/Supplier%20Performance&Page=Overview
But when I use the above Go URL the dashboard is not coming up. It shows the following error
No Columns
The request cannot be performed because it contains no columns.
When I use the following URL(which has the keyword 'Dashboard' not 'Go') the Dashboard is coming up fine
http://<servername:port>/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=/shared/Procurement%20and%20Spend/_portal/Supplier%20Performance&Page=Overview
There are dashboard prompt defined in dashboard. When I try to send the filter value via URL(given below) it is not working. I just see the Dashboard coming up.
http://<servername:port>/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&NQUser=Administrator&NQPassword=SADMIN&PortalPath=/shared/Procurement%20and%20Spend/_portal/Supplier%20Performance&Page=Overview&P0=1&P1=eq&P2=Supplier."Supplier%20Name"&P3=1+AccessMicron
when we use the keyword Dashboard in the URL , can we pass the parameter for the dashboard proimpt ..? If we can do that .. how to do that ..? Is it the same manner that we do for Go URL. ..?
Please let me know if you need any more information on this.
Thanks in advance for your time,
Raj Kumar
Edited by: Raja Kumar on Jan 22, 2010 3:29 AM

Hi Raj,
Raghu is correct, you need the Action=Navigate to make prompts work, otherwise you get move to the target dashboard without prompts.
I think you figured it out your self, but the ?Go is for Answer Requests and ?Dashboard is for navigating to dashboards.
I would also recommend using col1="COLUMN_NAME" and val1=value syntax instead of the P0,P1, etc, etc. It's a little easier to read and implement.
Try this:
http://<servername:port>/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&Action=Navigate&NQUser=Administrator&NQPassword=SADMIN&PortalPath=/shared/Procurement%20and%20Spend/_portal/Supplier%20Performance&Page=Overview&col1=%22Supplier%22.%22Supplier%20Name%22&val1=1+AccessMicron
Good luck!
Best regards,
