Pass Multiple Prompt Values Dynamically in a Publication

Hello
I have a dynamic list for list for my Publications of a Web Intelligence Document. The dynamic list has the following columns names
ID
Name
Email
Zone
and the Web Intelligence document has the columns:
Zone
Sales Value
I can't use Profiles because some of the recipients in the dynamic list do not have a BOE account
Lets say I use the following values
ID = 1
Name = Sally
Email = [email protected]
Zone = USA
This works fine and if I change the value of the Zone to another single value, (maybe Sally has been reallocated to a different Sales Region) for example:
ID = 1
Name = Sally
Email = [email protected]
Zone = UK
then this also works fine and the output from the Publication shows the correct value.
However, when I try and do the following, I run into problems:
ID = 1
Name = Sally
Email = [email protected]
Zone = USA;UK
The resultant output is blank!!! The prompt that is in my document that I want to burst is set to optional. I've tried using:
semicolons: for example USA;UK
commas: for example USA,UK
brackets and semicolons: for example (USA;UK)
brackets and commas: for example (USA,UK)
but nothing works and the resultant output is empty
Also, passing in a blank value for the optional prompt to return everything but this does not work either and the resultant output is empty.
I can't believe that this is not possible and would welcome any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

ZHello Arijit
Because that is just 2 individual values I know that would work, but its not going to be suitable for my needs. In reality, my dynamic list will look more like below and will contain a lot more people too.
ID
Name
Email
Zone
Region
Item
1
Sally
Sally@mytown
USA
2
Mary
[email protected]
USA
California
3
Jim
[email protected]
UK
North
Coats
4
Bill
[email protected]
Coats
5
Fred
[email protected]
USA;UK
Jeans;Belts
My Web Intelligence Report that needs to be burst/published has the columns
Zone
Region
Item
Sales
Zone, Region and Item are also Optional Prompts so, in the case of "Sally" above, she should get all items for all regions in USA, Bill should get Coats in all Zones and all regions etc etc
Thanks

Passing multiple integer values as parameter in SSRS

Hello,
I am trying to pass a comma separated multiple integer value parameter in SSRS report and it errors out complaining that it is not able to convert the nvarchar value to datatype int. But it works fine when I pass a single value. Here is the code I am using
for the report and I am stuck at passing multiple values.
SELECT
id,count(*) as cnt
from table
and ID in (@id) group by id
eg: if I pass 10,20,30 then I would get error however if I pass 10 then it works fine
Is there a different method to pass multiple integer values?
Thanks for your help.

A comma is, of course, a textual character and not an integer, thus the error you are getting. Multi-value parameters can be used for this.
Select "Allow multiple values"and set data type to Integer. Multi-value parameters deliver the values as an array. The query interface is smart enough to convert them to the proper syntax (comma-delimited) automatically so a statement like:
WHERE Field IN (@id)
where the parameter has an array of values {1, 2, and 3} is interpreted as:
WHERE Field IN (1,2,3)
You do not need to manually convert it in a transact SQL query. That is not the case for displaying the value array in your report. If you wish to display the array (described above) in your report as "1, 2, 3", you will need to use a join expression:
=Join(@id, ", ")
As DJ described, the other part to a multivalue parameter is the Available values. These can be set explicitly but given your example, I think it would be best to create a new dataset that retrieves a distinct list of the IDs that can be retrieved, perhaps
something like:
SELECT DISTINCT GroupName, GroupID
FROM table
WHERE [criteria]
Set the available values to use this query with GroupName (or whatever user-friendly field you choose for your dataset) as the label and the id as the value. The label field should be something the the target report user can easily identify the correct group
using.
If you don't want to or can't use a multivalue parameter for some reason then you will need to manipulate your parameter value prior to consuming it in your query. When you add the parameter to the TSql query and save the dataset, SSRS adds it to the Parameters
property of the dataset. Open the dataset properties and select the parameters tab. You should see your parameter in the list. click the expression builder (fx) button next to the value and enter this expression:
=Split(@id,",")
Note that the second element of the expression is the delimiter. If your text input has comma-space as a delimiter (1, 2, 3 vs 1,2,3) then that element must include ", ". My example just has comma so if you use that with a string "1, 2, 3"then
the resulting array will still have 3 elements but the 2nd and 3rd elements of the array will have a preceding space which will cause your dataset to error with the same error. As long as there are no non-numeric characters in any of the elements, the split6
will create the text array, SSRS will dynamically generate the correct "IN"syntax (comma separated) and SQL will convert the elements from VARCHAR to INT on the fly.

Passing multiple character values from parameter form to PL/SQL

Hi,
I am passing multiple character values from parametr form into
the report query and a PL/SQL procedure. It works fine with the
query, when I use &variable. But, it doesn't compile in PL/SQL,
so I just used the :variable, but not getting any records in the
PL/SQL procedure. Any suggestions?
sincerely,
gj

gj / Fedro,
Only using the &referecne, you can pas a string / multiple character values and this would work for query only.
The bind parameter in PL/SQL wouls support only single value

Passing Multiple Single Values from Sender Query to Receiver Query in RRI

Dear All.
We have 2 - Bex Reports ZBEX_1 & ZBEX_2
1. In ZBEX_1 having the fileds data like the below.
Account Doc. Number - Clearing Document --- Amount
12345                  - 65432                --- 100
12346                  - 54321               --- 50
2. In ZBEX_2 having the following data.
Account Doc.Number -- Amount
45342                     - 10
66666                        - 100
65432                       -   10
54321                      - 5
3. I am Traying to create RRI Between ZBEX_1 & ZBEX_2 , with Sender query as ZBEX_1 and Receiver query as ZBEX_2
If I drilldown from ZBEX_1 need to show the following output in the ZBEX_2
Account Doc. Number - Amount
65432                       -     10
54321                      -     5
i.e If Clearing Documnet in the ZBEX_1 is same as Account Doc. Number in ZBEX_2 those Account Doc. Numbers I have to show in the output of ZBEX_2 RRI Report.
Both the records I have to show at a time.
So please suggest me
1. How to pass Multiple Single Values to Next Query using RRI
2. How to Map Clearing Document to Account Doc. Number in RRI.
NOTE: Account Doc. Num length is same as Clearing Document
Please suggest me.
Thanks & Regards,
Kiran Manyam

Your scenario of passing values from multiple records in Source does not suit well for RRI Jumps.
In ZBEX_2 query, create a Replacement path variable on Clearing Document. In that Replacement path variable, use the Replacement with query option and choose the ZBEX_1 as the underlying query source.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/bd/589b3c494d8e15e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
When you execute ZBEX_2, what ever clearing document values that ZBEX_1 has will be passed through the replacement path variable as a filter to the ZBEX_2
Hope it helps!

Passing multiple single values to a Planning Sequence

Hi All,
      We are using BEx Analyzer for planning. We are passing multiple single values for a single variable , to a IP-planning sequence. Planning sequence is only taking the last value passed and ignoring the rest.
Multiple variable values are passed as below:
Name                            Index                 Value
VAR_NAME_1     1     ZCC
VAR_LINES     1     5
VAR_VALUE_1     1     A10000001
VAR_VALUE_1     1     A10000002
VAR_VALUE_1     1     A10000003
VAR_VALUE_1     1     A10000004
VAR_VALUE_1     1     A10000005
These cell references are passed to "command button" through the "Command Range" property.
The values are calculated correctly but for only one Cost center (last one in the list) , In this case only data for the Cost Center "A10000005" is processed and rest of the cost centers are ignored.
What am I missing here? I appreciate your help.

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.

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 (=)

Is it possible to pass the property value dynamically to composite.xml

Hi,
Is it possible to pass the property value dynamically to composite.xml from bpel?
For ex:
<property name="bpel.config.auditLevel">$variable</property>
I will get a different $variable value every time to bpel.
Also, when I included the following code inside .bpel
invoke name="InvokeListFileFTPAdapter-ListFiles"
partnerLink="ListFilesFTPAdapter"
portType="ns3:FileListing_ptt" operation="FileListing"
inputVariable="listfilesRequest"
outputVariable="listfilesResponse" bpelx:invokeAsDetail="no">
<bpelx:toProperties>
<bpelx:toProperty name="bpel.auditLevel"
variable="AuditVariable"/>
</bpelx:toProperties>
</invoke>
where auditvariable='Off'
I don't see any change in em. The invoke activity is showing full payload, Can't we turn off the audit level from .bpel not from composite.xml

Hi,
You can use bpel preferences for that:
1.
In the composite add a property, for ex:
<component name="test">
<implementation.bpel src="test.bpel"/>
<property name="bpel.preference.exam">abc</property>
</component>
2.
To get the value within your bpel process use: ora:getPreference(exam)
3.
Then, you can change the value in the EM:
Under Farm_soa_domain>weblogic domain>your_domain>soa_server1
Right click on menu>system Mbean browser>oracle.soa.config>server:soa_server1>SCAComposite>your project>SCAComposite.SCAComponent>processName>
Now, click on the properties attribute : you can see the exam property and change the value.

Passing Multiple Single values in User Exits

Hello All,
I have a requirement where in, a user could enter either a single value, multiple single values or a combination of a range and single values.
This set of values need to be passed on to a variable with in a user exit. I have been able to get either one single value to pass or one single range. I am unable to pass on multiple single values or a combo of a range and single value from the user entry.
I would appreciate if anyone could help me with the structure of the code to pass multiple single values or combo.
I was wondering if I would need to pass the values into an internal table first and then pass it to the user exit variable. However, as I am not a strong ABAP resource, I am struggling.
Any and all help is deeply appreciated.
Warm regards
Sunil

Hello Marc,
There are two requirements which I was trying to address.
1. IN few queries, the users enter either a range of profit centers or multiple single values in the pop-up window. I need to pass those values from that variable to an variable of type USer Exit to derive partner profit center values with in the query.
For this I have been able to pass values for either a single value or a single range. I am unable to pass on values for multiple single values or a combo of a range and single values.
2. I am trying to create a query for the top 5 customers to be used in the Corporate Performance Monitor. However, when I am trying to use the variable of type "replacement path", the system does not allow me to release it for OLE DB for OLAP.
To obviate this problem, I was hoping to create a variable of typeUSer Exit" and then pass the values from the variable of type "replacement path" to this variable.
Is it a workable solution? I was hoping that the method to pass the values in both the above scenarios might be similar.
Please guide me.
Warm regards
Sunil

Passing multiple session values from cold fusion into a flash movie

Hello all,
I know that to pass multiple variables into a flash movie
you could use the embed tag like this(with the & between each
variable):
<embed
flashvars="variable1=value1&variable2=value2"
></embed>
Now to pass a single session variable from coldfusion in i
did the following; which worked:
<embed
src="ASdb.swf"
FlashVars="UserName=<cfoutput>#session.userName#</cfoutput>"
width="550" height="400" autostart="true">
</embed>
Note that i had to use the cfoutput tags to get the value
stored in the variables. Now; i tried to do the same thing for two
session variables and the second one does not get read in. Here was
my code:
<embed src="ASdb.swf"
FlashVars="UserName=<cfoutput>#session.userName#</cfoutput>&testTypeID=<cfoutput>#session .testTypeID#</cfoutput>"
width="550" height="400" autostart="true">
</embed>
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you
very much in advance.

Hold on there was a little error: My final code that did not
work was the following:
<embed src="ASdb.swf"
FlashVars="UserName=<cfoutput>#session.userName#</cfoutput>&testTypeID
=<cfoutput>#session.testTypeID#</cfoutput>"
width="550" height="400" autostart="true">

How to pass multiple MDX values for a single parameter into a drill-through report?

I'm thinking this will be an easy question for any experienced SSRS/MDX developers, at least I hope so! I've created a report that gives the user the option to choose viewing data for the current/active week, or YTD. Depending on which link the
user selects, the report simply calls itself and needs to pass in the parameter value for Active week. If it's active week, the parameter value will simply be "true". If it's YTD, the parameter value needs to be both "True" and "False" so the current
week's data is accounted for as well. I've set everything up except for the final step, and I have no idea what to type into the Value field below. I've tried different things: false, as you see below (it errors saying I'm missing the parameter
value), the value in MDX format: =[School Dates].[Active Week].&[True] (it said I was missing a bracket), a 1 instead of the word true (again, missing a parameter value). Nothing is working.
So my question is kindof two-fold: 1) how do you pass in the value at all and 2) more specifically, how do you pass in multiple values (both true & false) ??

I'm sorry for being so dense, but I'm not quite following, although what I've tried makes me think if I can follow you, it will work :)
To answer your initial questions, you are correct with both your assumptions:
1) detailType is the parameter that specificies YTD/Weekly, this is a "report defined" parameter that I am using to determine which Row Group to display (either YTD or Weekly)
2) SchoolDaysActiveWeek is the parameter that is being set to either true or false -- this is a field in the cube that states whether that record is for the current week or not
So in following your instructions, well that's the problem I'm not quite following :)
1) When you say Delete the SchoolDaysActiveWeek parameter from the report only, do you mean to mark the parameter as Hidden? If so, I've done this.
2) I'm not quite sure where to use the statement you provided me. You said to put it in the dataset, but I don't know which dataset. I assume you mean the "main" dataset (as opposed to the hidden dataset that gets generated when you mark a field
as a parameter). If this is the case, the only place I could see that would allow you to use such a statement is in the Filter section of the properties. I tried this, and it did not generate any errors, but it also kept my report groups from displaying
-- it just showed a blank report, so I think it probably wasn't bringing back any rows to populate them with.
I also tried going into the Expression section for the SchoolDaysActiveWeek parameter in the second screenshot and placing the statement there. When I did this and ran the report, I would get the following error:
The 'SchoolDaysActiveWeek' parameter is missing a value
So what am I missing!?
Also, thanks for taking the time to respond!!

Passing multiple select value from BI publisher to PL/SQL functions

Hi - I have designed a report which pass parameters (Multi select) into a function to get the output result. When a single parameter value is passed to the function, report is being displayed. When multi select value is passed to the function it is returning the error `wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'F_PROCESS_WAVE_DATA'. When i checked the parameters passed to the function, i can see each multi select value is treated as different value and is assigned to different parameter in the function.
Any help on passing the multi select parameter into function will be helpful.
Regards,
Vikram.

All - Issue was resolved. I followed the following steps to resolve the issue
1. Create a PL/SQL table type variable as VARCHAR2 in the database - Say as Larray
2. Create PL/SQL type record and table for the record in database. Lrec, Ltable
3. In BI report pass multiple select LOV variable as Larray(variable).
4. In DB function, Parameter should be defined as LARRAY.
5. Return PL/SQL table type Ltable from the function.

Passing multiple single values from R/3 BAPI to BW Query in VC

Hi Experts
I have a VC model where I am calling an R/3 BAPI which is returning a table of customer accounts. I'm trying to go directly from that BAPI to a BW Query and pass the table of accounts into the BW Query.
The BW Query has been set up with a variable to accept multiple single values for accounts, and I have mapped the correct output field from the BAPI to the correct input field on the Query.
The BAPI does not seem to be passing the table of accounts into the Query. If I hard code a single account in the mapping of the BAPI to Query call, the Query successfully returns the data I expect.
Can I pass a table of accounts to a BW Query in this way?
Many Thanks
Tom

Hi
Have you tried with 'Group & Combine' operator. Just add this operator & join your BAPI & BI Query to this. Then in ths configure of this oparator select the 'Accoount' field & gourp the data accordingly. Also specify the aggregation if required. & in the table/chart after the operator select the fields which you want to show.
I hope this is what you are looking for.

How to Pass dashboard prompt value to RPD variable??

Hi Experts,
I am creating RPD variable with below query in initialization block
SELECT extract(month from Max(report_date)) from xyz_date_dim where report_id=14 and year=:YEAR
I am having YEAR prompt in dashboard..from this RPD variable i want to get MAX(month) from selected year in dashboard.Here my problem is unable to pass selected YEAR to RPD Initialization block.
I read some threads we can pass user selected values to session variables. If possible can any one help me how to pass variable to achieve my requirement.
can any one help me in this....
Thanks,
KSS.

So you want to pick a month in a dashboard prompt and have the answers report filter for that month, and return results for that month, month -1, month -2 etc etc.
If so try the following, lets assume your measure is simply called 'count'
in the BMM you have measure 'count' with aggregation set.
Create a new measure in the BMM called 'count MAGO' or whatever you want (this will be month -1)
in the logical forumula for that column, use the AGO function, syntax would be AGO(count measure,<time dimension.Month>, -1) - this function is found under the 'Time Series Functions' category.
repeat steps to create 'count 2MAGO' and use -2 in the AGO function to take off 2 months.
Repeat for however many Mth Ago's you want.
Then in answers, simply use is prompted on your month fied to filter the report for the relative month, select your 'count', 'count MAGO', 'Count 2MAGO' etc, the measure will be calculated for prior months relative to your filtered month.
Sorted?
