Passing Paramter Values to a Discoverer Worksheet

Hi. I've set up a link from a measure in my OLAP workbook. It attempts to pass values from the OLAP workbook to parameters in the Discoverer workbook. This seems to work fine if I pass the dimension label (i.e. the descriptive name of the member). If I try and pass the value however, it always seems to prefix the "code" with the level name. I have NOT used the surrogate key option when generating the cube in AWM2 - I have used the natural key option as all of my codes are unique across all levels. I simply want to pass back the code. E.g. my dimension is time and the level is Quarter. The member on display is Quarter 3, with an underlying code of Q3. When I pass back the dimension value, it passes back Quarter_Q3 and not Q3. Can anybody help? Thanks.

Hi,
This looks like a possible bug. I presume you are using the 10.1.0.4 patchset or the 9.2.0.6? If not I would recommend applying that patch ASAP
I tried this on my installation and the parameter values were passed through correctly, with no '_' characters inserted before the value.
Otherwise, this might be an issue with Discoverer. I would recommend creating a TAR with Oracle Support via Metalink to resolve this issue.
Hope this helps,

  • Ssrs 2008 r2 pass paramter value to a sort

    In a new SSRS 2008 r2 report, I am going to be using sql within a dataset and not a stored
    procedure since will I need to pass multiple values to each parameter.
    One of the parameters that I will be working with is allowing the user to be able to pick what items
    they want to sort on. The sort will have 3 items that will be always be sorted on first which are:
    year, and school_number.  The users will be able to pick additional items to sort on like grade, and teacher.
    The following is the sql that I have so far:
    select year,  school_number, grade,teacher,room,course_number, course_name
    from dbo.school
    order by  year,  school_number, several parameter values.
    Thus I am wondering if you would modify the sql above so that I can allow the user to sort on the additional parameters in any order like grade,teacher,room,course_number, course_name?
    If any part of my request is not possible, I am wondering if you would show me what is possible in the sql?

    Hi jazz_dog,
    According to your description, you want to sort the report by grade,teacher,room,course_number or course_name based on a parameter selection. If in this case, we can add an expression in sorting to achieve your requirement:
    Add a parameter named Sort with the available values below to the report:
    Label: grade                                       Value: grade
    Label: teacher                                     Value: teacher
    Label: room                                        Value: room
    Label: course_number                         Value: course_number
    Label: course_name                            Value: course_name
    Add a the expression below to the tablix Sorting:
    =switch(Parameters!Sort.Value="grade",Fields!grade.Value,Parameters!Sort.Value="teacher",Fields!teacher.Value,Parameters!Sort.Value="room",Fields!room.Value,Parameters!Sort.Value=" course_number",Fields!course_number.Value,Parameters!Sort.Value="course_name",Fields!course_name.Value)
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

  • Passing Multiple Values from a worksheet to PL/SQL function.

    Hi All,
    Is there any way to pass multiple values selected in a worksheet to a PL/SQL function ?
    I will try to explain the scenario:
    We have a crosstab report that showing all the customer details, deposit sum of a customer in each date in a date range selected. With the customer details we are showing the Rank of a customer based on the deposit in the latest date selected. Filtering is based on the rank, ie Top50 or Top60 etc.( As I said rank is calculating based on the deposit in the latest date).This is working fine.
    Now the new requirement is to : For example, in Top50 report, list all the customers, who were in the Top50 list, in any of the dates selected. We are able to display the daywise rank, but when giving a condition like daywiserank <= 50, the result becomes uncertain. Some blank lines, wrong amounts etc..
    As a work around we tried to find out the rank in a PL/SQL function. But the issue there is : we have some multiple value parameters used in the worksheet.
    Is there any way to pass multiple values selected in a worksheet to a PL/SQL function ?
    Or any other work arounds for the scenario explained?

    Hi Russ,
    Thanks for the response.

    1. I thought there was an analytical function similar to rank - or maybe an option of rank - that if there are duplicate records to have them all considered the same rank. So if you had 3 records all the same as rank=2 then a condition saying where rank=2 would return the 3 records. You could check into this.
    We are already using DENSE_RANK. But the issue is the output contains incorrect null values nd repeated rows.
    We got it solved as I explained in the previous post. But will that AGGREGATION MODE setting ( Which discoverer says - not recommended) have any issue? I mean side effects?
    Russ Proudman wrote:
    2. Another thought is that you can create a PL/SQL routine - that's called from a SQL function registered in Discoverer - where a table is created that does the first part of your query. Then a worksheet is created to use the data from that table. So, in essence, the table would have your top50 ranked customers. Then you can write any kind of worksheet against that table. However, DBAs are loath to allow tables - that they didn't create! - many times in a PROD environment.
    Here also the same problem will occur: as the top 50 will depend upon the parameters. I cannot pass those parameters to PL/SQL Function.And storing the top50 ( itmay be top100 or to 150 also) for all combinations of the parameters is impossible
    Russ Proudman wrote:
    3. Finally, are you sure you're rank function is correct in that if you're getting blank lines, maybe the 'over' part is not considering all columns needed to determine the rank?
    Yes the query we are using is correct. The output QUERY of discoverer gives correct results in Sqlplus.

  • Executing Discoverer worksheet from web

    I know someone has probably asked this before, but I can't find any references to my query, so here goes...
    Is it possible to pass parameter values to a specific worksheet within a Discoverer workbook and excute the worksheet using a URL from another web page? For example, I have a web page and based on the user's selections, I want to execute the WorkOrder Detail worksheet that is in the WorkOrder workbook for only items whose division match the user's selected division.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kerry Brannen

    Discover does not accept external parameter when you are invoking it. You can achieve this by using Discoverer internal parameter. When the discoverer porlet is invoked, Discoverer will ask for the parameter user can enter it or select from the LOVs provided.
    If you are visualizing to provide radio buttons click by the user and expect your discoverer report to take the parameter, this can be done storing the data you capture in a report driver table(you define) and join the table as complex folder.
    Hope this helps.

  • Passing multiple values to a parmeters in Discoverer 4i

    Hi Friends,
    I have a requirement of passing multiple values (Operating Unit Names) to the parameter(P_Opr_Unit) in Discoverer.
    I am using PL/SQL function to get the data in Discoverer.Function is working fine for multiple values from Database(SQL Developer).
    When i am trying to pass multiple values from discoverer ...it is accepting only the first parameter value of Operating Unit.
    Need your Expertise on this issue.
    Thanks In Advance.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    You can only pass one parameter value into a function. When you have a multi-valued parameter it enables you to create the condition: item IN (:param) which Discoverer expands to the condition: item IN ('val1', 'val2', 'val3') where these are the values the user has picked from the list of values.
    Now if you have a calculation containing a function and a parameter: my_func(:param) then Discoverer has to map the parameter in the function an item in the worksheet. So if the param is from a multi-valued list it can only pass one value and so expands the calculation to my_func('val1') where val1 is the first item picked from the list.

    Hello Venkat,
    I know there are some problems with 10.1.2.0.2, maybe if you haven't done yet you can try with 10.1.2.2, assuming this version should be working for multiple parameter values :
    OracleAS Discoverer 10.1.2.2 is installed with the following patch :
    Patch 4960210 PLACEHOLDER BUG FOR AS/DS 10G R2 PATCH SET 2 10.1.2.2
    So, once installed you can try adding your parameter as param_<parameter_name>='sfophiee,angela'

    i have a stored procedure for the data set, this is my issue
    i have debits and payments stored in one table, they only way to retrieve both types is to select either the voucher key or the receipt key. this is my sql where statement

    i can retrieve the data if i use an or statement IF PARAMETER = FIELD THEN TRUE in the select expert and pass a paramter value through. I dont want to use either field for a parameter value, what i need to do is some how say in the stored procedure or a crystal selection to retreive all records.
    i thought about passing an array, but cant use the formula in
    the record selection.
    i hope this is clear and someone can help. im stumped

    This is not a design I would use, but should work if coded properly. I would probably build a reference cursor query as text and use one open fetch and close.
    You have 2 input parameters, in_report_parameter_id and in_which. I could not find where in_report_parameter_id was used in the program, but the value passed in for in_which is being used in IF logic to decide how to open the cursor. After the cursor is open rows are being fetched and eventually the cursor is closed.
    The values in_which are compared to are hard-coded. It is the programmer's job to make sure the values listed are the right values and the actions taken are also correct. Your program is assuming that if the first 2 values are not encountered the third one listed is the one you want.
    To pass input values to a procedure you merely provide the values as a literal or variable in the call, something like
    whatever := get_class_text_str(1,'SELECT');

  • How to call a rtf template from another rtf template by passing a value

    Hi Gurus,
    Its about calling a rtf template from another rtf template by passing a value.
    My requirement is like:
    I got a quote report from Siebel, based on the product PartNumber I need to pull product description or literature from another database database.
    My approach is something like; get a partnumber from quote report pass it to another rtf template which uses the partnumber and get the data from table using DataSource. When user pull a quote report from siebel this new rtf template should attach to the quote at the end.
    I've gone through all available blogs about sub-reports and white papers from Oracle they are not much helpful since I need step-by-step.

    http://bipconsulting.blogspot.ru/2010/02/drill-down-to-detail-or-another-report.html
    When user pull a quote report from siebel this new rtf template should attach to the quote at the end.it'll be only another report
    IMHO you can not attach it to main. it'll be second independent report
    you can try subtemplate but it's not about rtf from rtf by click
    it's about call automatically rtf subtemplate from main rtf based on some conditions
    for example, main template contain some data and if some condition is true then call subtemplate and place it instead of its condition

  • Job scheduling(passing the values to the child program)

    when i'm trying to schedule a background job(using job_open job_submit and job_close) i'm passing the values of the selection screen(parent program) to my child program using set parameter id. And trying to get the values using get parameter id in the cild program.
    But the values of the parent program are not being passed to the child program what may be the cause for it?

    rathan,
    Why con't you use
    SUBMIT... [VIA SELECTION-SCREEN]
    [USING SELECTION-SET <var>]
    [WITH <sel> <criterion>]
    [WITH FREE SELECTIONS <freesel>]
    [WITH SELECTION-TABLE <rspar>].
    When you start an executable program, the standard selection screen normally appears, containing the selection criteria and parameters of both the logical database connected to the program and of the program itself (see Direct Execution - Reports). When you start an executable program using SUBMIT, there are various additions that you can use to fill the input fields on the selection screen:
    SUBMIT... [VIA SELECTION-SCREEN]
    [USING SELECTION-SET <var>]
    [WITH <sel> <criterion>]
    [WITH FREE SELECTIONS <freesel>]
    [WITH SELECTION-TABLE <rspar>].
    These options have the following effects:
    VIA SELECTION-SCREEN
    The selection screen of the called executable program (report) appears. If you transfer values to the program using one or more of the other options, the corresponding input fields in the selections screen are filled. The user can change these values. By default, the system does not display a selection screen after SUBMIT.
    USING SELECTION-SET <var>
    This option tells the system to start the called program with the variant <var>.
    WITH <sel> <criterion>
    Use this option to fill individual elements <sel> of the selection screen (selection tables and parameters). Use one of the elements <criterion>:
    <op> <f> [SIGN <s>], for single value selection
    If <sel> is a selection criterion, use <op> to fill the OPTION field, <f> to fill the LOW field, and <s> to fill the SIGN field of the selection table <sel> in the called program.
    If <sel> is a parameter, you can use any operator for <op>. The parameter <sel> is always filled with <f>.
    [NOT] BETWEEN <f1> AND <f2> [SIGN <s>], for interval selection
    <f1> is transferred into the LOW field, <f2> into the HIGH field, and <s> into the SIGN field of the selection table <sel> in the called program. If you omit the NOT option, the system places the value BT into the OPTION field; if you use NOT, the system fills OPTION with NB.
    IN <seltab>, transferring a selection table
    This addition fills the selection table <sel> in the called program with the values of the table <seltab> in the calling program. Table <seltab> must have the structure of a selection table. Use the RANGES statement to create selection tables.
    WITH FREE SELECTION <freesel>, user dialog for dynamic selections
    To use this option, the called program must be connected to a logical database that supports dynamic selections. In the calling program, use the function modules FREE_SELECTIONS_INIT and FREE_SELECTIONS_DIALOG. They allow the user to enter dynamic selections on a selection screen. One export parameter of these function modules has structure RSDS_TEXPR from the RSDS type group. Transfer the values of this export parameter by means of the internal table <freesel> of the same structure to the called report.
    WITH SELECTION-TABLE <rspar>, dynamic transfer of values
    You need an internal table <rspar> with the Dictionary structure RSPARAMS. The table then consists of the following six fields:
    SELNAME (type C, length 8) for the name of the selection criterion or parameter
    KIND (type C, length 1) for the selection type (S for selection criterion, P for parameter)
    SIGN, OPTION, LOW, HIGH as in a normal selection table, except that LOW and HIGH both have type C and length 45.
    This table can be filled dynamically in the calling program with all of the required values for the selection screen of the called program. If the name of a selection criterion appears more than once, the system creates a multiple-line selection table for that criterion in the called program. If the name of a parameter appears more than once, the system uses the last value. Note that LOW and HIGH have type C, so that the system executes type conversions to the criteria of the called program. This is important for date fields, for example. Before your program is used in a live context, you should check it using the VIA SELECTION-SCREEN addition.
    Except for WITH SELECTION-TABLE, you can use any of the above options several times and in any combination within a SUBMIT statement. In particular, you can use the WITH <sel> option several times for one single criterion <sel>. In the called program, the system appends the corresponding lines to the selection tables used. For parameters, it uses the last value specified. The only combination possible for the WITH SELECTION-TABLE option is USING SELECTION-SET.
    If the input fields on the selection screen are linked to SPA/GPA parameters, you can also use this technique to pass values to the selection screen (see Passing Data Between Programs).
    The following executable program (report) creates a selection screen containing the parameter PARAMET and the selection criterion SELECTO:
    REPORT  demo_program_submit_rep1.
    DATA number TYPE i.
    PARAMETERS      paramet(14) TYPE c.
    SELECT-OPTIONS  selecto FOR number.
    The program DEMO_PROGRAM_SUBMIT_REP1 is called by the following program using various parameters:
    REPORT demo_program_submit_sel_screen NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.
    DATA: int TYPE i,
          rspar TYPE TABLE OF rsparams,
          wa_rspar LIKE LINE OF rspar.

    Basically I have created a function in the database with two parameter as "bank name " and "Currency" and calling it with the help of evaluate function.
    How could we store the prompt value and pass it to some other function?
    Pls help me as it is urgent for me to solve.
    Thanks

    He Solved.
    Just i missed out to write %1,%2 in the evaluate function.
    But one thing i need to know that how can we store the value that is selected in a prompt say in dashboard prompt so that it can be used in query. Because i need to select a value first from the prompt and based on that i need to manipulate the values of the other request of the dashboard.
    Please Reply.
    Thanks

  • Passing Multiple Values from Multi Select

    Hi,
    My requirement is simple. I have created a simple Multi Select Option in parameter form and i want to send multiple selected values from the multi select option (in parameter form) to reports.
    eg:
    I want to send multiple countries code as input .........'US', 'CA', 'IND', 'UK'
    Can i do it in Oracle 6i reports, Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Thanks Again,
    For such a nice response. I got the Lexical Where condition properly running but still getting problems in catching the multiple values to be passed from form. just i will give u an insight of wat i have done:
    SQL:
    SELECT ALL FROM EMPLOYEES &cond_1* -- Working FIne
    in my Html Parameter Form i have an Multi Select component (the Problem is here) it is not passing more than i value from the form once i am accessing it from web or running it in paper report. In paper report layout it is not allowing me to select more than one value. but in HTML it is allowing to select multiple values but at the server end (After Parameter Form Trigger) it is giving a single value not multiple values.
    In PL/SQL when i checking the length of country_id i m getting it as one.
    Here is my SQL code
    srw.message(10, LENGTH(:country_id_1));
    :cond_1 := 'where country_id = '''|| :country_id_1 ||'''';
    This is passing the condition properly to SQL but only with single value but i want to pass multiple values
    I am struck in this+_
    WHERE CONTRY_COLUMN IN ('USA','UAE') -- This variable you have to pass from you form...
    Here as you said you gave multiple selection in your parameter form to generate report. So before generation report just prepare variable like this as it is bold above.
    and pass parameter through your runtime form to the report as you pass the normal parameter...liket this i gave you example...
    ADD_PARAMETER(PARAMETER_LIST_NAME,'P_CONT_PARAM',TEXT_PARAMETER,vString);
    Sorry for troubling you for a small thing but please help me to solve this issue.
    Thanks Again............
