OpenDoc(hyperlink) in webi with prompt's value

Hi
I want to know that if a hyperlink(Open DOC) in webi in BOXIR2 works with the parameters or not.
To be more precise, suppose I have a master report which has a prompt on the Status ('High','Low',and 'Medium') and user runs the report for one or more choices, he then need to go to detail of the report with same prompt selection values that he chose for status in the master report.
A) The report can show the detail report in hyperlink, and that part can be done by hyperlink.
B) Please help me out if the detail report should run for the same parameter value as of master report (the parameter value should be taken automatically from the master report),when we use hyperlink and is it mandatory to show the prompt to user in detail report cause main aim is to just run the master report with showing the parameter and allowing user to choose the value and then showing the detail report with same prompt value as of master using the hyperlink!
Thanks & Regards
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
Good Day,
Happy Independence day,
i came to know from your reply you solved your problem. congrats, but my problem is still not solved bro, i will explain my problem here clearly.
i have one master document it contains the the sales values for country wise for particular period of time.so in the master document i set the one filter for period of time ie. date between <from> <to>, so in the master document while running i need to enter the values in user prompt in the place of from and to. so my master document display the country wise sales details. if customer select the particular country in the country list then control need to transfer to child document, that document contains the state wise sales details for selected country for the same period of time(the date, which i selected in the master document).I stored from and to values in two variables in master document.
The child document contain two filters , that is one for country name and one for Date between <from><to>
so my user response is looking like this,
Country Name:
From:
To:
for me up to open the user prompt for child document is not a pblm. bt my selected country is not passed as argument and the corresponding date as well.
I m totally confused where is the problem, bcoz i tried with lsS and lsM as well, bt no use. i know i am making small mistake some where in the URL.
U r rite i am using Java platform
="<a href=http://<webserver>:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sPath=HomeMyFoldersFavorites&sDocName=TESTSS&sDocType=wid&sRefresh=Y&lsMURLEncode(Country Name:)="URLEncode([Country])"&lsMURLEncode(From)="URLEncode([From])"&lsMURLEncode(To)="URLEncode([To])">"[Country]+"</a>"
Thanks lot,

Scheduling Webi with Prompts

Hello,
I am trying to schedule a Webi report with Prompts through the .NET sdk. I get the report, set the prompts and then schedule the report. Unfortunately when i look at the report in InfoView it is not filtered by the parameters. They show up as instance parameters, but don't seem to have any effect on the report. When i run the report in InfoView and set the prompts to the same values the report comes out correctly. I have read several places that I need to Refresh the report, but I don't see any methods that would allow me to do that. My code is below. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks!
Pat
var query = string.Format(@"SELECT SI_ID, SI_NAME, SI_PROCESSINFO FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_ID=''", reportId);
infoObjects = _infoStore.Query(query);
var infoObject = (Webi)infoObjects[1];
var schedulingInfo = infoObject.SchedulingInfo;
schedulingInfo.Type = CeScheduleType.ceScheduleTypeOnce;
schedulingInfo.RightNow = true;
var formatOptions = infoObject.WebiFormatOptions;
formatOptions.Format = CeWebiFormat.ceWebiFormatPDF;
if(infoObject.HasPrompts)
        var prompts = infoObject.Prompts
        for (var i = 0; i < prompts.Count; i++)
             prompt<i>.Values.Clear();
             prompt<i>.Values.Add(value);
_infoStore.Schedule(infoObjects);

Open WebI using ReportEngine.NET, Refresh, set the prompts, then copy the prompts over to the InfoObject using ReportParameterUtility.PopulateWebiPrompts, then schedule the InfoObject.

What sql is run In Webi with prompt while refresh data

In inforview, create a Webi Document with prompt.
prompt's proverty is "Prompt with List of values" and "Keep last values selected"
while click "Refresh Data", sometimes it may take long time until prompt appear.
Are there any SQLs running during the process from clicking "Refresh Data" to prompt 's appear?
whether the sqls are to get the prompt's value list or others else?

Junchuan,
Yes an SQL is ran to generate the list for the prompt. Most likely the SQL is a "select distinct" on the value. The amount of time for this to complete depends on the number of rows that must be read before a distinct list can be obtained, the number of other users accessing the database at the same time, and the load on the application server. There are a couple of stragegies for speeding up the "select distinct" process, to include the use of a lookup table to the column so that the "select distinct" goes against a smaller data set (the lookup table) versus the production table.
Thanks,
John

Schedule webi with prompts problem

I want to schedule a webi document that has prompts.
If the data of the webi document is purged, I have a problem when scheduling that webi document. Before the schedule starts, the values of the webi document must be set. But if the data is purged, the list of the prompts is empty.
String query = "select * from ci_infoobjects where si_id = 3427";
IInfoObjects infoObjects = iStore.query(query);
IWebi webi = (IWebi) infoObjects.get(0);
List prompts = webi.getPrompts();
In the above example prompts is empty.
In [http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=87466&sid=1e70a1f434d279a78a0f8935bd245951] I see that I can use the following:
ReportEngines reportEngines = (ReportEngines) session.getService("ReportEngines");
ReportEngine reportEngine = reportEngines.getService(ReportEngines.ReportEngineType.WI_REPORT_ENGINE);
DocumentInstance docInstance = reportEngine.openDocument(webi.getID());
PromptsUtil.populateWebiPrompts(docInstance.getPrompts(), webi);
After doing this, webi.getPrompts() isn't empty any more.
But PromptsUtil is deprecated.
So I wonder if there isn't a better way to make this possible.

PromptsUtil isn't deprecated. The documentation should be corrected.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

How to fill a prompt in webi with current date?

A webi report is being generated on BEx Query.
IN BEx query variables are defined for some date fields to prefill them with current date.
Foe ex. there is license start date. For this field variable is defined so that in variable screen License start date is automatically filled with greater than or equal to current date(which is system date). WHich is a mandatory variable.
On BO side, a webi report is being developed on a Universe (based on this BEx query).
When the webi report is run, the license start date(mandatory variable in BEx) is automatically prompted, but date is not getting prefiiled with current date.
How to prefill this prompt with current date?
the prompt should be like
LIcense start date >= <current date>

Hi,
Yes, it isn't possible to reference anything like 'Current Date' in the universe (like you would with a SQL data source).
The solution I have seen recently goes like this, I don't know the exact details (so I might have some terminology wrong), but someone with ABAP skills should get what I mean.
Assuming you want to filter on 0CALDAY.
In ABAP, create a customer EXIT that calculates the current date as a number (so today might be 40651). Do the same for 0CALDAY.
In the BEx create a formula variable that references each of those, then a Formula Key Figure (I forget the exact name of them) that's just the current day number minus the 0CALDAY number. This gives you the 'age' of that row of data.
Your Webi report can then have a built in filter (or prompt with a default value) of, say Age <= 30. The report can be scheduled and will always run with the last 30 day's data.
We actually did the customer exists to show the 'age' in months.
Sorry I can't explain it any better, but it's working great for us.
Hope that helps.

Web Service prompt value

Hi
i creates a web service through rich client BI services
i imported it to Xcelsius
in the input values i have a prompt value which is durected to a specific cell
this cell is updated from an input value or a flash variable or just typing it
the problem is that the web service refreshed on load or activated by a connection button does not take the value for the prompt
what am doing wrong ?
10x

Hello,
We have a known issue with prompts in BI Services XI 3.1 SP2 that prevents input values to be correctly matched with query prompts during BI Service runtime / consumption, when prompt labels (names) include special characters (like spaces, dash, question marks, etc. that are escaped with underscores '_').
Besides avoiding to expose prompts in BI Services, workaround is to simplify query prompt names in WebI document query so they do not include any special characters.
Fix for this issue will be delivered with FP2 (XI 3.1 SP2.2).
Hope that helps,
David.

How to schedule Webi Documents with Prompts with RESTful Web Services

Hello,
I am trying to schedule Webi Documents with Prompts using RESTful Web Services with prompts. I am using Simple Rest Client app provided by Google Chrome. We have Business Objects SP6 Patch 1.
However the documentation for RESTful Web Services has only examples for the following
1. Schedule Documents without any Prompts to various destinations and recurrences.
2. Refresh Documents with Prompts.
Is there any example for scheduling documents with prompts? Please advise
Thanks in advance

Hi Peter,
With Rest Client, on BI4.0 SP6, you can schedule Webi documents with prompts using the following:
URL: http://<servername>:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/<docid>/schedules
Method:POST
Request Body:
<schedule>
<name>Enter values for City:</name>
<format type="webi"/>
<destination>
<inbox/>
</destination>
<once retriesAllowed="2" retryIntervalInSeconds="60">
<startdate>2013-08-26T15:58:51.000+02:00</startdate>
<enddate>2013-08-27T15:58:51.000+02:00</enddate>
</once>
<parameters>
<parameter optional="false" type="prompt" dpId="DP0">
<id>0</id>
<technicalName>Enter values for City:</technicalName>
<answer constrained="false" type="Text">
<values>
<value>Austin</value>
</values>
</answer>
</parameter>
</parameters>
</schedule>
Using the above request you can schedule the Webi document with prompts to inbox destination and set for once.
The schedule can be sent in different formats to several destinations and set just for once, daily,
hourly or monthly.
You can also check the example for this on page 275 of SAP Webi RESTful SDK user guide for BI4.0 SP6 below:

SAP BO 4.1 Webi report sample with prompts to try Restful api

I was not able to find, in the report demo samples available in the SAP BO 4.1 installation, a Webi report with prompts.
I found many Webi reports samples but all are without prompts.
I need at least one Webi report sample with prompts to try the Restful API http://localhost:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/7090/parameters and http://localhost:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/7090/schedules with parameters body.
Where can I found such webi sample?
Thanks,
Riccardo

As you have BI 4.1 installed, you could design a sample webi report using Webi Rich Client tool.
Open Webi rich client, select the sample eFashion universe drag few objects in the query and a filter. Set the filter as a prompt and save the report to Enterprise.
Now you could now use this sample report for your handson on REST SDK.

Changing Webi Report Data Provider With Prompt

Hi All,
I am trying to change Data Source of a Webi Report using RESTful Web Services. Fo this I have referred code on Changing Dataproviders for a Webi Report using RESTful Web Services Post.
I am able to change data source for Webi Reports without Prompts but it is not working for Webi Reports with Prompts.
Can anybody help me??
Thanks & Regards
Swapnil Kulkarni

Hello Swapnil,
In order to perform a change data source, you have to answer the prompts (like in the regular Webi UI). In this kind of case, RESTful webservice will send back the list of parameters needed after you submitted your target mappings. Then, you have to answer prompts and send all the information (mappings + prompts answers).
Does it make sense?
Best regards,
Anthony

Problem with dashboard prompt initial value (OBIEE 11g)

Hi alli,
I have a problem with dashboard prompt and session variable in OBIEE 11g.
I have declared a session non-system variable which I set/change with dashboard prompt. At login the variable is initialized in initialization block that gets a value from an SQL select statement.
When I change the value in prompt, the session variable changes accordingly, as it should (change is made by calling function NQSSetSessionValue() within javascript function). While I am in my dashboard, cruising around pages the variable stays the same, and when I return to the page that has prompt on it, the correct value is shown. Everything works fine.
The problem occures when I go to Catalog (in presentation services) to create some new Answers. When I return back to the same page in dashboard (which has a prompt), the prompt selected value and session variable are set back to the default value. It looks like the initialization block is executed again.
My prompt is configured like this:
- Choice List Values: SQL Results
- Default selection: Variable Expression (@{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.VariableName']} )
- Set a variable: Presentation Variable
Is there a way to stop the initialization block from executing again? Isn't it logical that the initialization block executes only at login, when the session variable is empty? I don't need it to execute every time i come to the dashboard.
Thanks in advance,
Marko

Docs with prompts can schedule to WebI, not Excel, pdf or CSV

I have built Custom Access levels but am having problems with scheduling.
I believe I have given the correct rights in the CAL, but even the standard "Schedule" access level gives this error:
Sorry, you do not have the right to 'Add objects to the folder' (ID: 1) for 'reportname' (ID: 86429). Please contact your administrator if you require this right.
This happens for Excel, PDF and CSV formats. WebIntelligence is fine.
I have checked half a dozen reports in different folders a number of times and results are the same.
- Users with Schedule rights can refresh reports to webi format
- Users with Schedule rights can refresh reports WITHOUT prompts to excel / pdf /csv
- Users with Schedule rights can NOT refresh reports WITH prompts to excel / pdf /csv
To get Excel, PDF and CSV files created, I have to give "Add objects to folder" access which allows users to save documents which is not wanted for this role.
It is also not a right granted in the standard "Schedule" role.
Have added user group with Full Control at root level over all applications and all other folder trees including Temporary Storage, no change.

Hyperlinked file opens with junk values

Hello Guys,
I am Developing a portal where in people can upload files to different categories. So, there is no problem with uploading.
So, next time when want to view the file list i am just adding the upload directory as a hyper link to the text displayed something like this.
<td class="td"><a href="javascript:void window.open('DocumentPolicies/<%=(String)dV.get(1)%>','Document','200','200')">DummyDocumentFileSubject
</a>
</td>
so, this displays DummyDocumentFileSubject with a hyper link and the specified document name will be opened in a seperat window.
The problem i face is that if it is a word document it some time opens inside the browser itself some time it opens with some junk values.(Even MSWord installed on the client system).
The file type may be different some times .pdf .jpg, .dwg,.apc.etc.
My client wants to view it on the browser.
Or if in case i am doing it wrong. please correct me.
can anybody help me on this.
thanks in advance

dina

Yes, it looks like you are not setting the appropriate content type to the file extension.

Webi -- Slow prompt performance

Hi,
I have a problem with Prompts in web intelligence, particularly those of type date,
the lists of values are recreated on each call, which makes the
Refresh of a document very slow
The filter definition is:
WP.S_DATE BETWEEN @ Prompt ('Start 1.
von? ',' D ',' Wp \ S Date ', MONO, FREE) AND
@ Prompt ('Start 2. Ba?', 'D', 'Wp\ S Date', MONO, FREE)
P.S: I have :
1) Uncheck the property "Auto Refresh"
2) Check the property "Export with universe"
Ans the problem still persist.
Any idea please?
Best Reagards,
Edited by: Asma REZGUI on Jan 11, 2011 11:30 AM

why do you need a LOV for date?
and even so, do you have a master table for time/date dimension or you get it directly from your fact table?
if you're getting it directly from fact table then its wrong, it will take much time loading dates,
my advice in dates prompts, in webi filter go to prompts option and deselect the LOV.
good luck

Can anybody give me advise by this problem?

Hi Jothi.
I agree with you but Bex do not allow you to have a restiction to certain values and then a variable on top of that. I have to build the filter in the Webi report and I cannot build it on the description. I have to build it on the key.
