Passing prompt value to a LiveOffice document

Hi all,
I've SAP BW Query as the data source having two prompts of one which is date, and I built a LiveOffice document connecting a WebI report. The prompt values in LiveOffice document are displayed as for ex : comp code : 2000 [0COMPCODE].[2000] and date as 10/0320 [0CALMONTH].[032010]. In case of Comp code I'm passing only 2000 removing the rest of the text and it works fine, but whereas when I modified date prompt in LO document like Comp code its throwing an error while refreshing.
Getdocument Information Exception (Error WIS : 10901). In details I can see that date is being passed 32010 instead of 032010 even though I tried to change the format of that particular cell.
Any solution to this problem ?
Thanks

Hi Fred,
The date format in BEX Query is mmyyyy and I'm trying to pass the same in LO but its going as myyyy, for ex : 032010 is passed as 32010.

Error while passing prompt value in Column Formula

Hi All,
I have created a dashboard and added a dashboard prompt on that with a presentation variable named "promptdyn" that is basically showing bank names.
Now i want to calculate the market value based on this prompt selection, so i edited the column formula as
"WM FACT Sec"."MARKET VALUE" * EVALUATE('getBankBaseCurrencyValue(%2)' As Double,@{promptdyn},"Industry Type".INSTRUMENT_CCY)
But it is throwing this error:
\nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred.
\nQSError: 22051] The argument number 1 is not referenced in this evaluate expression: getBankBaseCurrencyValue(%2). (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT "Industry Type".INDUSTRY_NAME, "Industry Type".INDUSTRY_TYPE, "WM FACT Sec"."MARKET VALUE" * EVALUATE('getBankBaseCurrencyValue(%2)' As Double,0,"Industry Type".INSTRUMENT_CCY) FROM WMAdHocReportingBMMSec
I don't know what is wrong here.Here i tried to pass the value of the prompt to the function.
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

Opening Dashboard Page in New Window While Passing Prompt Values

Hi,
Currently it is not possible to open a dashboard page in a new window AND have the prompt values from a prior page pass to this page. I see one or the other can be accomplished but not both. Is there a way this can be acheived somehow or is there a workaround for this?

You are correct. The "Link or Image" object does not pass the dashboard prompt values, though it allows the destination dashboard to be opened up in a window.
Here is a workaround.
1) Place the link in a "Guided Nav. Link" object and set the destination dashboard and desired report. With the prompt set up correctly (i.e., dashboard scope, set to PV, destination report column filtered to receive the PV), the destination report will be filtered on the prompt as desired.
2) I noticed (and maybe this is why you wish the "new window"), there is no "return" link on the destination report. To fix this, in the destination dashboard, add a Text object to the dashboard. In the properties, paste the code below and make sure to check off "Contains HTML markup." This will produce a "Return" button on the dashboard.
<input type="button" value="Return" onclick="history.back();">
Now, when the user selects the prompt and clicks on the link, the prompt is passed to your second dashboard. When the user wishes to return, he/she can click on the "Return" button and return to the primary dashboard.
HTH,

Pass prompt values in a Webservice

Hi there, my requirement is to get 'Input Values' from a Combo Box(Dropdown) and pass those values into the webservice and get the output.
Here are the steps so far:
1) Created a WebI Report(using WebI Rich Client). The report has a prompt called 'State'
2) Published the report block as a web-service and copied the WSDL URL.
3) Created a Combo-box(Dropdown) in Xcelsius and put 'State' values to output to a cell 'A1'
4) Created a web-service connection in Xcelsius Data Manager, and used my WSDL URL. I am able to see that it has detected a prompt in my webservice in the Inputs area. There are two methods called:
valueofPrompt
and
Index
I am mapping the 'ValueofPrompt' to the same cell as the Combo-box output cell 'A1'
5) Clicked preview and when i picked any state say 'Alabama' and hit refresh, i see that i get values for all states, not just Alabama. So looks like my dropdown value is not being passed to the webservice.
Am i missing something? Any ideas where it might go wrong?
Thanks,
Kon

Are you sure that the webi report is refreshing AND you're refreshing the connection? Try putting FALSE or 0 in the option 'GetLatestInstance' and TRUE in the refresh option.
Try putting a loading status into a cell in the dashboard and mapping a spreadsheet component to this cell, so you can see what's going on. By seeing how long the connection is taking to load, you might be able to get an idea of whether or not the webi report is being refreshed.
Lastly, have you considered fetching all states in the Webi report and instead using a filter to pick an individual state. This will be much faster.

How to pass prompt value to columns with formula?

Hello guys
I have a situation:
I have a report with 1 column name 'product' and in this column it has a case statement like 'case when item is ('a','b','c','d') then 'Men' else 'women' end'
Then I have created a dashboard prompt of the exact same column, and I defined the same case statement in the prompt's column formula as the same.. Then I tested the prompt and it is returning only 2 values 'men', 'women'..
However, when putting the prompt and report on the same dashboard, the report is not accepting the prompt values..
Then I set the presentation variable on the prompt and call it 'Product', then in the report I created a filter on 'product' column as equal to presentation variable 'product'--- I tried with and without single quotes.. So the filter itself looks like : case when ...... is equal to / is in @{product}
However, when I then return back to the dashboard, I am getting the error:
State: HY000. Code: 388918336. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27005] Unresolved column: "Product". (HY000)
Could anyone help?
Thanks

Hola
is possible that are you using a BINS agrupation into the Column Formula?
if you form a CASE statement using a Bins agrupation, in the column Formula, this must be disabled to match statements between columns and DB Prompt
if you are using a BINS agrupation to form the CASE statement, you have to delete the bins agrupation in the Column but keep the CASE statement

Passing prompt value to column header

Hi experts
I'd like to change the column header dynamically.
the report is using presentation variable so it's displayed after the user had selected a value in the dashboard prompt and clicked on go.
I'd like to have in the column header the value that the user had selected in the dashboard prompt.
Is there anyway to do that??
Regards

Hi,
Yes. you can do that by creating presentation variable.
What you have to do is , create the presentation variable like LOCATION_NBR in the prompt, like this you can create as many as you want to display it in the header.
The next step is to display the value the user selects in the prompt that should display in the header, for that , you can create narative and like the following things and achieve it.
<table>
<tr>
<td bgcolot ="#00080" width="1500" height="25" align="center">
The location No is @{LOCATION_NBR}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Since we define the presentation variable in Prompt and use it narative view we able to display the header based on the customer choose it from prompt
I hope the above explanation will resolve your requirement

Raj

Passing prompt value

Hi,
If i have country as a multiselect prompt and i choose eg: India and Australia.
1. Instead of India and Australia will be shown in the table, how do i show number of selected values which is 2?
2. How do i show the combination of selected values? eg: India - Australia
Please let me know if anyone has any suggestion.
Thanks so much

Hi
@1
you can hide the country column and make another column and change its functionality to rcount(1) --> it gives you number of rows i.e. nothing but number of values selected in your case

Passing prompt value from one report to other using navigation

I have one dashboard with one prompt (Prompt Name: Date) and a report with date column. This date in the prompt defaults to current date by using server variable ‘CURRENT_DATE’. When a user executes this dashboard the report will be executed for current date. Now I configured navigation on a column (MTD) that will take the user to another report. My Requirement is I have to filter the second report with a condition ‘Date<current date’. In the second report I applied a filter Date<valueof(CURRENT_DATE). To my surprise when I navigate from the first report to second report this filter condition Date<valueof(CURRENT_DATE) is replaced by Date=valueof(CURRENT_DATE). I did not under stand why navigating from the first report replacing the filter condition on the second report. If this is the expected functionality, what is the workaround for this?
To summarise my user want to see current date data in the first report and all the data less than current date in the second report. I tried with presentation variables. same thing happening with them as well.
Please let me know if there is any solution for this
Venkat

I mean to say,
fro second report apply filter not as global filters
To apply as inner fitlers...
Go to measures fx in answers
select the code in fx and click on filters options
and select the date from left pane (selection pane)
and write CURRENT_DATE by Converting this filter to SQL (the option is something like this)
see in this way ..
i didn't get time to work on your issue...
So please try this and report back..
Thanks & Regards

Pass Prompt values into Legend / '-ALL-' filter filters out all records

Hi
I have 2 questions for the same chart so I hope it's OK to add them in one post.
Firstly I have created a chart & added three Select List filters which work fine, the query is below, problem is that when I change back to '-ALL-' I get no data, it has filtered out all records as no data matches the value of '-ALL-' does anyone know the code to get around this?
My chart query;
select null link, P_MONTH AS MONTH, SUM(CALLS) AS data
from DATA.MAIN_DATA
WHERE WAREHOUSE = :P1_WAREHOUSE
AND ANS_UNANS = :P1_ANS_UNANS
AND PRODUCT = :P1_PRODUCT
GROUP BY P_MONTH
As I will have several queries like the one above for different options on the same chart, I would like the Legend to show what the user has chosen each time the options are changed ie;
Something like the bolded text in the query to display the chosen values in the legend;
select null link, P_MONTH AS MONTH, SUM(CALLS) AS 'P1_WAREHOUSE' || 'P1_ANS_UNANS' || 'P1_PRODUCT'
from DATA.MAIN_DATA
WHERE WAREHOUSE = :P1_WAREHOUSE
AND ANS_UNANS = :P1_ANS_UNANS
AND PRODUCT = :P1_PRODUCT
GROUP BY P_MONTH
Any ideas/suggests?

Thanks Andy
I'm having some problems with applying this so it may be best if I show you how I've applied this code.
Here's an example of my data on a made up 'EMP' table;
ENAME     SAL     DEPTNO     DEPARTMENT
SMITH1     1871     345     DEPT1
SMITH2     1953     345     DEPT2
SMITH3     2239     345     DEPT3
SMITH4     492     345     DEPT4
SMITH5     2431     345     DEPT5
SMITH6     2331     345     DEPT6
SMITH7     1003     369     DEPT7
SMITH8     1688     370     DEPT8
SMITH9     2284     371     DEPT9
So I'm only using one table - 'EMP'
I've created 2 LOVs, 'DEPTNO' & 'DNAME'.
'DEPTNO' LOV has the values for the 'DEPTNO' field in the table.
'DNAME' LOV has the values for the 'DEPARTMENT' field in the table.
I then created a chart with the below SQL query as its source;
SELECT NULL LINK,ENAME LABEL,SAL VALUE
FROM EMP
WHERE (DEPTNO = :P1_DEPTNO OR :P1_DEPTNO = 0)
ORDER BY ENAME
The 'Chart Title' field under the 'Chart Attributes' tab has the below added;
Department - &P1_DNAME.
The COMPUTATION is as below;
SLECT NVL(DEPARTMENT, '-ALL-')
FROM EMP
WHERE DEPTNO = :P1_DEPTNO
Could you advise where I may be going wrong as I have the following errors;
1. The chart is working OK with the added '(DEPTNO = :P1_DEPTNO OR :P1_DEPTNO = 0)' clause - but I still get no results for '-ALL-'
2. I can't get the chart to display the current value in the legend - where exactly should I put this line - 'Department - &P1_DNAME.'
3. The Computation is stopping any data from showing in the chart

Passing a Prompt value to Webi using Xcelsius with OpenDocument

-Operating System: Windows XP
-OS Patch level: Service Pack 3
-Office Version: 2007
-Flash Player version: 10
-Xcelsius Version and Patch Level: Enterprise 2008 with SP2 (version: 5.2.0.0)
-Xcelsius Build number (Help>About Xcelsius): 12,2,0,608
-Business Objects Enterprise version/patch level (if applicable): Edge 3.1
-Issue Description:
I'm trying to open a Webi Document from my Xcelsius dashboard and pass the value for the prompt "Region". Ultimately I want to have this value determined by the drill down from a chart but at the moment I cannot get it to work even by adding the value at the end of the URL. The webi report opens but the user is given the prompt option and asked to select the value, where I want to pass this so it automatically shows the selected region.
The URL I'm currently using is:
http://"servername":8081/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sRefresh=Y&sDocName=Regional_Drilldown&mode=full&nbPrompts=1&lsSRegion=South
I have double checked the report and the prompt is definitely called "Region" and "South" is a valid region.
I would be very grateful for some help.
Many thanks
Robert Peters

Hi Robert
I would take out the reference to the number of prompts to give:
http://"servername":8081/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sRefresh=Y&sDocName=Regional_Drilldown&mode=full&IsSRegion=South
If you copy and paste the url into a browser does it sucessfully find the document?

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.
Julian

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
Julian

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

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.
