Pass hierarchy dashboard prompt to analysis in Oracle BI

Hi All,
I am new to Oracle BI EE 11g. Right now i am learning this.
I have created time hierarchy dashboard prompt and saved it my shared folder.
I have created a analysis which shows Top 10 products Revenue and saved it my shared folder.
Now I am trying to connect the above two items in my dashboard. But I don't know how to pass hierarchy prompt values to my analysis. There is no option to drop hierarchy dimension in analysis filter and mark it as "is prompted".
Can anyone please help me?
Thanks
Maya

Well Haree, your idea don't activate filter
My BI version is Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.6.0
I've checked that hierarchy column value from Time hierarchy selected via filter on dashboard A can be sent through Go URL
to new report B opened in new window, but BI don't suppport including hierarchy column in filter section of target report B.
So, other words, I've faced already 3 weeks against the same issue.
User select in Dashboard A subset of Time hierarchy along with common filters say Supplier, but it is not possible to drill through Supplier to its Customers with keeping
selected dimensions of Time hierarchy, say couple of selected weeks of September, in new target Report B.
And I wonder why BI allow pass hierarchy column value in Go URL but don't give to use its value in navigated report.
May be it's tiime to set Patch 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 ?
Any advices greately appreciated

Hierarchy dashboard prompt

In the OBIEE 11.1.1.6, I make use of default RPD named 'SampleAppLite.rpd', and I created dashboard prompt for 'Product Hierarchy', however, in the request, there is no hierarchy, only has some columns, such as 'Brand','LOD'
My issue is that the created request does not be impacted by dashboard prompt, is there any missing steps? Thanks.
Note, need it have product hierarchy in request?
the Hierarchy prompt only gets applied when the hierarchy is displayed in the report.It is not applied even when it is present in the excluded section , Is it correct?

Inserting a link to BI Publisher report and passing the dashboard prompts

I have an answers dashboard where there are various prompts (say P1, P2, P3, P4 -all these are date prompts )and various reports.
These Prompts are stored as Presentation variable say var1, var2, var3, var4.
I need to insert a Link on this page to a BI Publisher Report. BI Publisher report also has some prompts say D1, D2, D3 , D4, D5, D6
The link should take the values from the prompts of this page and open the BI Publisher report with D1= value of Prompt P1,
D2= value of prompt P2, D3= value of Prompt P3, and D4= value of Prompt P4.
I was easily able to use an action link -> "Navigate to Web Page" option. I gave the URL for this BI Publisher report and clicking on that link takes me to the report.
But I am still figuring out out to send the values of the prompts.
The BI Publisher Report is :
- built from an RTF template.
- uses a SQL Query with Bind variables to get the value of its prompts D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6.
- Suppose D1 is bind variable :date1, D2 is bind variable :date2, D3 is bind variable :date3 and D4 is bind variable :dat4.
So my first try was to append the value of bind variable to the URL
https://xxname.server.com/analytics/saw.dll?bipublisherEntry&Action=open&itemType=.xdo&bipPath=%2FSurvey%2FPhoneCount%20Record.xdo&path=%2Fshared%2FSurvey%2FPhoneCount%20Record.xdo.xdo&date1=var1
Can someone suggest the steps I need to take to make this work.
Thanks

Passing Chinese characters in OBIEE 11g GO URL to init the dashboard prompt

Hi Experts,
Currently we are using OBIEE 11g and passing the dashboard prompt parameter values through the OBIEE go url. When we are passing English strings the dashboard prompt is initialized with the correct passing value. However for Chinese character it is not. I am using the URLEncoder.encode("parameter value", "UTF-8") encoding to encode the passing string.
Can anyone tell me what is the wrong in this approach? How can we pass any language strings to OBIEE 11g via go url?
Thanks

To avoid encoding problems use POST method. Here is js example for OBIEE 10g, but I bellieve you will find similar XML syntax in 11g.
function getGoXML(P){
     var goXML = '<sawx:expr xmlns:sawx="com.siebel.analytics.web/expression/v1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="sawx:logical" op="and">';
     for (var i=0; i<P.length-1; i=i+2){
          goXML = goXML + '<sawx:expr xsi:type="sawx:comparison" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" op="equal">';
          goXML = goXML + '<sawx:expr xsi:type="sawx:sqlExpression">' + P[i] + '</sawx:expr>';
          goXML = goXML + '<sawx:expr xsi:type="sawx:untypedLiteral">' + P[i+1] + '</sawx:expr>';
          goXML = goXML + '</sawx:expr>';
     goXML = goXML + '</sawx:expr>';
     return goXML;
function dashboardPageNav (navParams){
     var tForm = saw.createForm("customNavForm");
     tForm.action = saw.commandToURL("Dashboard");
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "PortalPath", navParams.portalPath);
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "Page", navParams.portalPage);
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "Action", "Navigate");
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "StateAction", "NewPage");
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "P1", "dashboard");
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "P0", getGoXML(navParams.P));
     tForm.submit();
dashboardPageNav({
     portalPath: '<portal path>',
     portalPage: '<page name>',
     P: new Array(
          '<param1 name>', '<param1 value>',
          '<param2 name>', '<param2 value>',
          '<param3 name>', '<param3 value>',
          '<param4 name>', '<param4 value>'
});

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 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.

Passing a Date value from a BI Dashboard prompt to a BI Publisher param

Hello everyone,
I have a dashboard page with a Date (type: Date). This date is linked with a presentation variable vpres_datedanssemaine.
In my time dimension (name: Date) I have 3 columns:
-"Date" which is the date
-"Lundi de semaine" ("Monday of the week") which is the monday of the week whose includes "Date"
-"Dimanche de semaine" ("Sunday of the week") (you understand the purpose...)
(Weeks go from Monday to Sunday)
It works perfectly in BI answers when I use this filter :
"Lundi de semaine" lesser than or equal to @{vpres_datedanssemaine}
AND "Dimanche de semaine" greater than or equal to @{vpres_datedanssemaine}
The problem arises when I try to substitute the BI Answer report by a Publisher one in the Dashboard.
The publisher report defines a parameter:
-Name: vpres_datedanssemaine
-Data Type: Date
-Parameter type: Date
-Date format string: yyyyy-MM-dd HH-mm-ss
The filter we use
Date."Lundi de semaine" <= :vpres_datedanssemaine AND
Date."Dimanche de semaine" >= :vpres_datedanssemaine
When we run the dashboard page, we get an error " Error can be displayed due to an error. Contact an administrator".
Do you see an error anywhere?
Did someone manage to pass a Date from a dashboard prompt to a BI Publisher parameter?
Thanks

Dashboard prompt on a Dimension Hierarchy in Obiee 11g

Hi All,
I have created a hierarchy (parent-child) on a dimension 'A'. I am able to create a dashboard prompt for the dimension hierarchy. However I am not sure how to create a report that is to be filtered on this dashboard prompt. I tried using the attribute name that the hierarchy uses but that does not work. Can some one please let me know how i can filter a report by a hierarchy dimension prompt.
Thanks,
Nikita
Edited by: user12438396 on May 8, 2011 1:16 PM

Hi Nikita,
For your requirement, you need to go for Selection steps pane in the analysis(report). Click on steps link and then add the hierarchy column that you want to use and expand the hierarchy to the lowest level. Now select all these and all the attributes will now appear in the other side.
If you dont expand the hierarchy to the lowest level, then only the highest level values will appear in your selection at prompt.
Also make sure to check the 'override' checkbox in the bottom, this helps in filtering the values.
Hope this answers your question.
Cheers,
Obul

Passing Dashboard Prompt values to different dashboard.

Hi All,
I want to pass the selected prompt values from my current dashboard to a different dashboard. I am using a navigate function to go to the other dashboard.
The scenario is:
I am using a column formulae to navigate to the different dashboard.The column formulae written is:
case when rank ("Table".column ) <=10 then cast(rank ("Table".column) as char(10)) else ''||'+'|| '' END
In this scenario, the dashboard prompts are not get passed to the other dashboard.
In other case when I do not customize the column as stated above and in the Column Property just give a 'Navigate' in the Value Interaction it passes the prompt values to the other dashboard.
Similarly can we do something in the column formulae or using something else to pass on the dashboard Prompt values to the other dashboard.
Please Note that the dashboard Prompts in both the dashboards are exactly same.
Regards,
Bhavik

Bhavik,
Your nearly there, simply extend your URL syntax and pass the colum values with it, see here :
http://sureshotstrategies.wordpress.com/2008/12/13/integrating-oracle-obiee-content-using-go-url-syntax-2/
e.g
http://webserver/analytics/saw.dll?Go&Path=%2Fshared%2FSupplier%2FRegionDollars&Action=Navigate&col1=Periods.%22Year%22&val1=%221999%22&op1=eq
Passes colum : Periods.Year
value : 1999
operator : equals (=)

Dashboard prompt value is not passing into the report

Hi,
I am using OBIEE 10g. The problem is in Oracle BI Answers
I have a prompt and its related report. In the prompt, in one of the column, I am using sql result. The sql query is a co-related sub query where i have used 2 tables. employee_data and employee_region. The reason for using sub-query is that there is no data_center column in the employee_data table. It has the records for all the data_center e.g USA, UK,IND,AUSTRALIA etc So, I used the sub query with condition which will give the result on a particular data center (here it is USA) and this sub query's output is input for the main query. And the prompts works fine and gives correct result
The sql query used for the column in the prompt (in Oracle BI Answers) as
SELECT EMPLOYEE_DATA.ENAME FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE EMPLOYEE_DATA.ENAME IN (SELECT EMPLOYEE_REGION.ENAME FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE EMPLOYEE_REGION.DATA_CENTER = 'USA')Now in the report, there are 2 coulmns. - EMPLOYEE_DATA.ENAME and EMPLOYEE_REGION.DATA_CENTER
I have used the main column EMPLOYEE_DATA.ENAME for filter as 'prompted'.
The problem is the value from the prompt is not passing from the prompt to the report, what I found. Because, instead of showing the result for 'USA' data_center, It also shows other data_center 's (UK,IND,AUSTRALIA) data.
How filter condition I should use for EMPLOYEE_DATA.ENAME column in the report so that the prompt value will pass to the report properly ?
Thanks
Edited by: Kuldip on Feb 21, 2013 6:17 AM

Hi Kuldip,
There are 2 ways of doing it.
1. Nice and good: For the section where the report is put have a condition to display only if it returns rows. For details please refer to :
http://bischool.wordpress.com/category/guided-navigation/
2. The easy way: Add a "No Result" view to your report and add few spaces in the text.
Let me know if this helped.

Can I pass parameters from a dashboard via a dashboard prompt and presentation variable to publisher report based on a data model with select statements in OBIEE 11g ?

I have a publisher 11g (v 11.1.1.7) report with a single parameter. The report is based on a data model not a subject area. I created a dashboard put a dashboard prompt and link to the report in separate section on the same page. The dashboard prompt sets a presentation variable named the same as the parameter in the report.
The problem was when I created the dashboard prompt, it forced me to select a subject area which I did (though did not want to) and then I created both a column and variable prompts. But clicking on the
report link completely ignored the value that I thought would be passed in the presentation variable to the report.
Side note : My report uses a pdf template for its layout where I have mapped the columns names from my data model to the form fields on the pdf form. I noticed that if I create a publisher report based on a subject area, then I do not have the choice to choose a PDF as a template type for my layout. (I only see BI Publisher Template as a choice).
I see some documentation online that suggest it could be done in 10g.
Thanks

Ok,
I just tried that and it still doesn't pass anything to the prompt.
I changed the prompt to an edit field and I made the following weblink but when i click the link from an account it doesn't put anything in the prompt and all data for all accounts is shown.
This is the URL maybe I messed something up...
https://secure-ausomx###.crmondemand.com/OnDemand/user/Dashboard?OMTHD=ShowDashboard&OMTGT=ReportIFrame&SelDashboardFrm.Dashboard Type=%2fshared%2fCompany_########_Shared_Folder%2f_portal%2f360+Report&Option=rfd&Action=Navigate&P0=1&P1=eq&P2=Account."Account Name"&P3=%%%Name%%%

Issue with Dashboard Prompt passing value to Presentation Variable

I have 2 tabular reports that grab 2 variables respectively: @Month and @Year.
The reports work fine.
My issues is that to compute the most recent month & year, so I can pass the values to the 2 variables mentioned above, I have a dashboard prompt on the same page as the 2 reports. In the dashboard prompts (Edit Box types), I have SQL in the "Default" that computes the most recent month & year. This logic also works perfectly when you preview the results of the prompt.
My issue is that when I land on the page, it seems that the month & year prompts are not computing. I have an old value of "Dec" "2009" instead of "May" "2010".
It seems the Default SQL logic is NOT running on its own? As an aside, we do our development in a test environment and the catalog is promoted to production nightly. The "Dec" and "2009" I see is the correct value for the test environment, so it looks as if the defaul values are just being migrated with the catalog, but then the SQL to compute the latest values of the 2 propmts are never executing when the user lands on the page? Thus everyone sees Dec 2009 data instead of May 2010...Help!

This logic also works perfectly when you preview the results of the prompt.You are creating the second prompt (edit box) to make the first prompt values, You can use the same sql in the report default to SQL in the first prompt itself.
If I am wrong please clarify.

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,
