Passing the expression in the prompts

Hello,
I have to pass one column (which has case statement in the column expression) in the prompt. I am getting the values in the prompt when i use the expression, but that is not getting filtered properly. (though i select one value in the prompt the result shows all the existing records). If i pass the column directly (without case statement) in the prompt, it works fine.
My requirement is... i have to pass that column expression in the prompt and that should get applied properly.
Can anyone help me in this regard...?
Thanks,
Vamsi

Where do you keep the Case when statement? If in the report, move it to the BM in the RPD.
regards

How to pass the prompt value to repository variable in obiee 11.1.1.7

Hi All,
I am given a tabular report to build in OBIEE 11.1.1.7 version using insurance data.
I have to show different types of claim names and their corresponding count in the table. One of the calculations require me to use the total no of claims(i.e sum of all the claims).
Example:
Total No of claims: 600
Total No of Auto Claim: 60
I have to create a table on Auto Claim like:
               claim types       count
                    X                    10
                    Y                    20
                    Z                    30
I was calculating total no of claims by using dynamic repository variable as it was a constant value. Example: repository_variable1: select count(claim ID) from Insurance; In report I was just using value of (repository_variable1)
Now client has asked us to give date prompt so the total no of claims (assumed as 600) will change with respect to period. I can calculate total no of claims with respect to different claim type (as shown in the table above) with respect to period filter in the report.
The problem I am facing now is, I need the count of all the claims on a partucular period too. Repository variable is giving always calculating the count as 600. But the count should change with respect to period selected. How to get this value?
Can I create a presentation variable in the prompt and pass this value as an argument for repository variable?
Please help. I am in urgent need of the solution.
Thank you.

Hi Srini,
I tried creating it as metric. But the problem is my pivot table is on Auto Claims.
Let me try to make myself a bit more clear.
Total No of claims in fact table: 600
Total No of Auto Claims in fact table: 60
                claim types(auto claims)       count        Calculation
                    X                                        10             10/600
                    Y                                        20             20/600
                    Z                                        30             30/600
So I need to access total no of claims to calculate. I cant use a metric as the count will take group by with respect to auto claim type and give value only for X claim.

How to use the prompted value in the filter expression

Hi
Is it possible to use the prompted value in the filter expression?
My requirement is that user will be prompted for a date field and I need to filter the records such that the records are displayed for the last 5 weeks from the date entered by the user.
If somehow I know how to use the prompted value in the filter expression then this requirement is easy to be done. If this is possible, please guide me?
If there are other ways to acheive the desired results then please suggest.
Thanks

How to pass values of the prompt through Action Link - URL in 11g

Hi All,
I am in OBIEE 11g v6.
Let's say, I have two dashbaord pages P1 and P2.
P1 page contains
1. Prompt PR1 - containing a single column EmpName
2. Report R1
P2 page contains
1. Prompt PR2 - containing a single column EmpName (same column as in PR1)
2. Report R2
Requirement :
Let's say a user select a value = David from the EmpName column in prompt PR1. In the Report R1, on one the measure columns 'Sales', I am using an action link - Navigate to URL ( I can't use Navigate to BI Content for some reasons). In the URL, I am giving the URL to page P2. Can I pass the selected value (which is David) to the EmpName column of the Prompt PR2 of Page P2 so that Report R2 is automatically limited by David when I land on that page through the URL?
Few things to consider are, I can't use EmpName column in my report R1 on page P1, I just want to pass the value of a common column from one prompt on Page1 to another prompt on Page2. Is that possible. Can anybody please help?
Thanks,
Ronny

Hmm can you give a try one more time with
Add EmpName name and hide it on report R1 on page P1
and set EmpName as Is Prompted on report R2 on page P2 and with my earlier steps should work.
Other option is read this doc once that helps you how to pass value thru url.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21043_01/bi.1111/e16364/apiwebintegrate.htm#z1005224
You need to have a EmpName as Is Prompted on report R2 on page P2
If helps pls mark

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 the possitive integer in prompt

Hello
i have created a prompt at the universe level and that is like:-
(@Prompt('Aging Days(Greater than 0)','I',,mono,free)>0))
however what i noticed is that when the user puts in the negative value, the WEBI accepts the value, however it doesn't return the data however it doesn't return any error to intimate the user that he has opted for a negative value.
is there any way we can show an error on the WEBI front if the user chooses the Negative integer by using the above prompt?

Hi Rahul,
To enforce a positve value no matter what the use inputs... you could use the abs (absolute) function around the @prompt. the absolute function is always the positive. You then could add some additional text toyour prompt informing the user that values will always be considered as positive even when a negative number is entered.
Hope this helps
Jacques

How to pass the parameter of a stored procedure to iReport

Hi... i don't know how to pass the parameter of the stored procedure to the iReport.
In the Report Query, i tried
1. sp_storedprocedure ' value'
2. sp_storedprocedure +''''+$P{parameter}+''''+
3. sp_storedprocedure +$V+$P{parameter}++$F($F is a variable having a value of ' (a single quote))may you enlighten us please? thank you

For M$ SQL server I find that it only works when U use the fully qualified name...
e.g. catalod.dbo.my_procedure_name 'variable'
My full query in the Report Query window is something like this:
EXEC arc.dbo.jasper_Invoice 1000
Note that you may find that selecting from VIEWS / TABLES fails for no apparent reason and iReport will prompt you with the usual very unhelpful (we have what we "pay" for) prompt, stating that "The document is empty".
To work around this issue, where a statement like "SELECT * FROM arc.dbo.acc_invoices WHERE Invoice_id=1000" does not work, simply create a PROC, something like:
CREATE PROC jasper_MyProc (@my_rec_id integer) AS
SELECT * FROM arc.dbo.acc_invoices WHERE Invoice_id= @my_rec_id integer
...to wrap your SELECT statement, then call the PROC

How to pass the values to stored proc using presentation variable in OBIEE

Need your help regarding in resolving an issue in OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1
There are 6 reports say ‘A’,’B’,’C’,’D’,’E’,’F’ in the same subject area.
The reports are being configured with prompts using either the repository/presentation variables.
One of the reports say ‘A’ has been configured to pass the values using presentation variables from the prompt in Advanced Tab of the report request to the stored procedure defined in the Execute Before Query section of the connection pool.
After running another report ‘B’ in the same subject area, upon visiting the report ‘A’ view display error is being seen ( Please have a look below screen shot for your reference) .
Speculate the issue is around presentation variables of report ‘A’ getting initialized even before running the report.
Appreciate your earliest advise as this is a prod issue.

Hi Prasad,
I got your note, you should not use Session variable syntax to call presentation variable.
you should use like @{AIC_PROJ_PLAT_SEQ_NO}
One more thing: first test the variable AIC_PROJ_PLAT_SEQ_NO value then try to pass to SP.
Hope this helps

Unable to pass the values to stored proc using presentation variable in OBI

Hi All,
Need your help regarding in resolving an issue in OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1
There is an OBIEE requirement whereby two prompts need to be defined.
1. Textbox prompt
2. Drop-down prompt
The dropdown values should be populated using textbox prompt. So, we have used presentation variable in textbox prompt and passing the same to select query of drop-down.
Until this step, the report works just fine.
Now, the value in both textbox and drop-down needs to be passed to stored proc.
While trying to pass the values by using the presentation variable, the following error comes-up saying
Session variable has no value definition.
Note:Although the corresponding session variable has been set to default value,still the error appears.
Please advise.
Regards,
Prasad

"Session variable has no value definition" I'm assuming typo error and it should be presentation variable.
Set default value for presentation variable that may work

How to use the prompt value in the report column

Hi
I have a report prompt column which is 'Adj Type' which holds values 10,20,30 and when user selects Adj Type = 10 then this value should be passed to report column.
For Eg. Column 1 value is 10 and this should multiple with prompt value and the output should be 10* 10.
Any thoughts how to capture the prompt values in report column for calculation.

hi hsekar,
1) Declare a presentation variable in prompt under the Set Variable section -->Presentation Variable -->P_var
2) In Fx Table_name.Your_column * @{P_Var}
@{P_var}{20} ( 20 is default value it will override when a user selects value in prompt
