Parameters with OLAP?

How can I create an OLAP query in Report Builder (version 10.1.2.2) that has a condition based on a parameter?
I also can't get Report Builder to include a basic condition. For instance, I have a location dimension with members X, Y, and Z. I included all three in the report and then I added a condition that states the member must be equal to Y. When running the report, it still shows all members (X, Y, and Z).
I think I need to get the condition working first and then I get it to use a condition based on a parameter.
Anyonw know? I've looked on Metalink and OTN but I haven't found anything.

Oracle definetely managed to create a bit of a mess with these parameters. Somehow I am thinking that the Discoverer web apps were not originally designed to be used directly via HTTP and some marketing guy just came up with the idea to productize the parameters... ;)
I've been in contact with Oracle support and it looks like OLAP workbooks really have no IDs. However it is possible to access them by using workbook and worksheet names. Not as good as using IDs, but at least the bloody thing works. The trick is to use the worksheetName HTTP parameter with OLAP workbooks, like so:
http://my.server:7777/discoverer/viewer?lm=olap&db=my.server:1521:mydb&us=john&pw=secret&worksheetName=Users%2Fjohn%2Fjohnsworkbook%2Fsomeworksheet
(If you want to include the pw parameter you have to use HTTP POST.)
Discoverer HTTP parameters really are a mess, but here's a list of most important parameters.
HTTP parameters that work in both Discoverer Viewers
Login type: lm=olap, lm=discoverer, connectionAccessType=discoverer, connectionAccessType=olap
Database URL: db=<db>, databaseIdentifier=<db>
Username: us=<username>, username=<username>
Password: pw=<password>, password=<password> (HTTP POST only)
HTTP parameters for Discoverer Viewer
EUL: eul=<eul name>
Workbook: wbk=<workbook name>
Worksheet: wsk=<worksheet name>
HTTP parameters for Discoverer Viewer OLAP
Workbook/sheet: worksheetName=<path to worksheet> (folders and worksheet separated with slashes)
As you can see sometimes several parameters can be used to specify one thing and that most but not all parameters work both in Discoverer Viewer and Discoverer Viewer OLAP. I am definetely confused and I have no idea anymore which of those parameters are documented and where but they should all work.
Also you must specify a worksheet name in the worksheetName parameter and it must be separated from the workbook name with a slash.
And do not forget to properly encode URLs!
Cheers,

Parameters in OLAP Intelligence

Hi,
I am currently using OLAP Intelligence because Voyager did not even give me the functionality I want, but I'm having a problem.
I have a view created with OLAP Intelligence connected to a SAP BW cube, really want to move from this view to a second view of another cube in BW. I know OLAP Intelligence has not this functionality because it is not multi source but I'm trying to do it through a URL. When I open the first view, I asked some set of parameters to filter, then come have a button associated with an action and when I click on it a URL leads through to the second view (the second cube). My problem is with the URL to pass the parameters because the URL is not sending me the current members. Proven to function currentmember not work for me.
The dimension and hierarchy that I have are:
Time
Year / Month
2003
2002
Therefore the first time when I am asked to put parameter (for example, 2002) my first view filter it, later I can selected another member through the member selector for example [Time]. [Year / Month]. [2003] and want to jump to the second view, but the second view doesnt filter my data.
My URL is:
"http://cdi5boe:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/
openDocument.jsp? & sPath = [Liverpool] & sType=car&siDocID=65478
& lsS907B8C93-C89E-4872-87% 2CC8% 2C1E% 2C8% 2C56% 2C81% 2CB7% 2CDD =
%5BTime%5D.%5BYear%2FMonth%5D.CurrentMember.Name "
Can you help me to use correctly the MDX function? I think it is my problem.
Regards,
Sandra.

Hi,
If you create a cell type action rather than a member action you can get context from multiple dimensions.
The general syntax for your URL would be:
"http://mysever/myscriptpage.jsp?param1=" + [Dimnesion1].* +"&param2=" + [Dimension2].*
Here, for the selected cell in the cross-tab, the member from each dimension specified is substituted into the URL. To use a member from a specific dimension you need to use the dimension's unique name followed by a dot and a start in the action definition. So for example if the cell I had selected consisted of member ABC on dimension 1 and member XYZ on dimension 2, the final URL produced might look like the following:
http://mysever/myscriptpage.jsp?param1=[Dimension1].[ABC]&param2=[Dimension2].[ZYX]
You can add MDX or OLAP Intelligence syntax again around the wild cards:
MDX
[Dimension Uniquename].*.uniquename
OLAP Intelligence Syntax
GetUniqueName([Dimension Uniquename].*)
There seams to be a bit of a pug in the parser of the version of OLAP Intelligence I'm using which means that if you want to concatenate two parameters right next to each other the following produces an error:
"http://mysever/myscriptpage.jsp?param1=" + [Dimnesion1].* + [Dimension2].*
but you can get the same effect by concatenating an empty string in between the two items so the following works fine:
"http://mysever/myscriptpage.jsp?param1=" + [Dimnesion1].* + "" + [Dimension2].*

Query parameters with the same name and different values

According to HTTP, multiple query or post parameters with the
same name and different values are permitted. They are transfered
over the wire in the following format -
name1=val1&name1=val2&name1=val3
The problem is that I can't see anyway of assigning multiple
parameters with the same name and different values to the request
object of mx.rpc.http.HTTPService. I have tried using the
flash.utils.Dictionary object as it does strict key comparison but
that doesn't work too. I have tried setting an array of values to a
property of the request object but that sends the request to the
server in the following format -
name1=val1,val2,val3
The java servlet engines throw exceptions when they see this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you're not on 8.1.4 move there. 8.1.3 had limitations in the wsrp
release.

Passing multiple URL parameters with same name

Hi,
I have a question which is not entirely related to Java. But although its related HTTP calls, so I thought I might get some ideas here.
Background:
I am making HTTP URL call from SAP ABAP code. Its pretty much similar to Java (creating URL connection, setting HTTP headers, connecting, receiving response and everything)
For example,
http://service_server:8080/a7/extension.services.SearchRequirements.a7x?RequestStatus=CR&RequestStatus=RR
Now, this service_server runs a query to database where it uses both these values of "RequestStatus" to form 'OR' condition for a field.
Issue:
When I run this URL from browser, it shows XML response containing results for both values. In short, this is the ideal response.
(I am using getParameterValues(string) at service_server to read multiple values for same parameter)
But when I see response in SAP system, I see that it is returning data for only one value of 'RequestStatus'.
I checked the logs of service_server, and I see that it has received only one parameter, not two.
Question:
It seems like SAP systems web server is truncating both parameters with same name and passing just one of them to outside server(??)
Is there any configuration at Web Server side or any HTTP headers to be set so as to avoid this?
Can anybody suggest something on this?

I managed to resolve this issue by using HTTP 'Post' method to send the data.

How to use lexical parameters with Sql Server Stored Procedure?

Hi,
I'm developing a BI Publisher report on a sql server database. I need to execute a stored procedure to dynamically build the query by replacing the lexical parameters with the values of varaibles of the stored procedure. With Oracle stored procedures, I have used data template and had reference the varaiable in SP by prefixing it with '&'.
It doesn't work if I try to do the same thing with SQL server. Is there anyone who has come across the similar situation? Please let me know if anyone has got any ideas...
Thanks in Advance

Deprecated system parameters with specified values:

Hi ,
I am getting below in alert log:
Deprecated system parameters with specified values:
remote_os_authent
IS this parameter is suppotable in 11G and also how can i remove it from SP file with out bouncing the instance.
thanks..

1) It is deprecated in 11g as er your alert log message. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28320/initparams199.htm
2) Set it in your spfile to FALSE which will reset this back to the default. This can't be changed dynamically and you will have to reboot your instance.
alter system set remote_os_authent=false scope=spfile;

Problem with OLAP DML

Dear All,
We are using OLAP DML to work with multi-dimensional data on an Analytic workspace. How do you access pre-stored multi dimensional variables set up in a analytic workspace, using OLAP API's.
How/Is it possible to load Cube data from a multi-dimensional variable ?
How or from where do we setup OLAP WORKSHEET to work with OLAP DML ??
Regards,
Subhankar

Jean-Marc,
I had an email from one of my colleagues in development and has kindly explained some errors in my previous posting. In 10.2 and earlier, relational import/export should do as good a job as EIF, except that these utilities are slower (due to the need to text encode the EIF data) and less granular (you can only export an entire schema at a time).
Fortunately, there is no need to worry about the various objects that comprise and AW. We manage all that for you directly inside the database.
However, the performance overhead is enough that for clients with the know-how, it's usually recommended to use EIF instead. That being said, the particular problem you are having seem extreme since you should not see a "15 minutes" to "hangs" slowdown when using relational import.
Have you tried monitoring the export job via Enterprise Manager to check the wait events which might be occuring when the system hangs? Are there any messages in the alert log?
It might be a good idea to open a TAR with Support to try and diagnose this issue.

Oracle database installation with OLAP

I've also had a problem where the system will not do a full export of an AW as an eif file. It starts, then just hangs. If you try to import the file that is created you get some but not all of the objects in the original AW and an error message at the end. I have cycled through the NAME dimension exporting objects one at a time and discovered an object where it hangs and can't get past. It's not large and it's one of the objects with the property 'AW$CREATEDBY' = 'AW$XML'. So seems to be an Oracle bug, maybe some metadata got messed up, who knows, but it should always be possible to export an AW.

The type Iterator is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments

Hi all, i have a problem, and i think is a JRE problem
The error is the following:
If i share a Web JSF Exadel project enterely, with the .classpath, the .project,
ect everything go ok. I can Check out the project
and work with it without problems.
But if i share only the JavaSource and the Webcontent of the same project
and the other files and folders like the .classpath, the .project, the ant folder,
ect are added to the subversion then appear the problem. When i Check out the project and build it (not with shift-alt-x Q but with the Build Project option of the Projec Menu in Eclipse)
appear an strange error that say: "The type Iterator is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments <E>".
If i build the project using the build.xml file that came with the project everything is ok, but when i run the project into the Exadel the error
appear againt.
The error appear with all the eclipse versions from 3.1 to 3.3 and with all the ExadelStudio Pro versions from 3.5 to 4.0.4 and with the JRE versions 1.5.0_05 and 1.6.0_02
Any idea will be very appreciated.

Hi, i think i found a clue to discover the mistery, i deployed the same .war in the ExadelStudio Pro 3.5.1 tomcat and in the ExadelStudio Pro 4.0.1(and 4.0.4) tomcat in the first one everythink work fine but in the second i get the error i described above.
The ExadelStudio Pro 3.5.1 use Tomcat 5.0 and ExadelStudio Pro 4.0.1 and 4.0.4 use Tomcat 5.5
There are some problem with the new versions of Tomcat?
Something related to the use of an old version of the JVM by default?
There are some problem with the jdk1.5, something related to the posibility that i can't mix code compiled with an old version of jdk with code compiled with the jdk1.5?
Any suggestion will be very appreciated

Where I can find examples with OLAP DML to update the cube cells?

Hi,
Where I can find examples with OLAP DML to update/calculate the cube measure/cells?
I would like to insert data into the cube by OLAP DML.
Regards,
TomB

Not sure about examples but this is how you should proceed
1. Limit all your dimension to the leaf level values.
lmt financialperiod to '200901'
lmt geography to 'XYZ'
lmt product to 'LAPTOP'
2. Limit your measure variable to one measure(this is applicable if you have more than one stored measure in the cube).
for 10g
lmt <cube name>prtmeasdim to '<MEASURE NAME>'
for 11g
lmt <cube name>measuredim to '<MEASURE NAME>'
3. Write into the variable.
for 10g
<cube name>prttopvar = 100 -- this variable is created for a compressed & partitioned cube. for uncompressed cube the variable name is <cube name>_stored.
Thanks

Use Discoverer with Olap Cubes

Hi, is there any one that know how work Discovere with Olap Cubes?
Thanks

hi
if you mean the cubes (rolap/molap), which the bibeans are working on it is a yes/no
for molap cubes:you use the olap table to build a virutal star on top of the analytic workspace, which is then queryable by any relational cube, including discoverer
for rolap cubes:not (yet)
having said that:watch the announcements during oracleworld
