Presentation Variable not working in Dashboard Prompt Urgent !!!!

Hey Folks
I Created a BI Publisher report and i embedded the report on my Dashboard and and i am using the parameter as a presentation variable in my Dashboard prompt and it was working fine suddenly i dont know what happened when i try give different values from my dashboard prompt its not taking the values
PTCLID is the Parameter i am using in BI Publisher and i am referencing PTCLID as my Presentation Variable in Dashboard Prompt(Dropdown Field)
I can run the report with different parameters in BI Publisher but when i try to run from Dashboard prompt its not working
I know that BI Server and XMLP Server are not communicating properly , I restarted my services couple of times but no luck, Can you help me out how to debug the issue
Thanks

You mentioned that you are able to run this report from BI publisher using parameters. Do these parameters have a List of Values? What is the 'Parameter Type'?
You can try the following steps:
Create a copy of the BI publisher report and set the parameter type to text. Ensure that the parameter identifer (name) is exactly the same as the presentation variable.
Add this new BI Publisher report object to the dashboard and then test with the dashboard prompt.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!

Payload variables not working

Hi all,
I've been trying to use Profile Manager to specify user e-mail accounts on Mac devices (eg, MacBooks) but I've been encountering a couple of problems. I've tried searching around and didn't find any answers.
First of all I'm running the latest Mountain Lion Sever. All clients have up-to-date Mountain Lion too.
Problem 1: Payload variables not working
I'd like to automatically setup Gmails on the MacBooks. Now the users' email addresses are already set to their gmail accounts. So all I have to be able to do is use the %email% payload variable as the username when I go set up the (IMAP) mail accounts in the Profile Manager. However, when I download the profile to the device, it does not convert the payload variable; ie, it tries to log into gmail with the username '%email%'. Other payload variables do not work either.
Oddly enough, the payload variables work as they should with iOS devices...
Problem 2: Profiles stuck on 'Sending'
After enrolling the devices, it seems a hit and miss whether the MacBook downloads the correct profiles from the server... Is there a way to force on the MacBook to update/refresh its profiles? Also, when I update profiles within Profile Manager, the changes are pushed to iOS devices fine but not to MacBooks. Those tasks are all stuck on Sending... Logging in, restarting etc. sometimes helps but not always... Is there a reason why?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Sorry I posted in the wrong forum first...

Same problem here. Some profiles are being sent, some are stuck on the server. I have no idea why this difference.
Any luck solving the issue?

How to create 'NOT in between' dashboard prompt on a column

Hello Guys,
I have a simple request where the dashboard prompt has to send in data for 'NOT in between'. OBIEE does not give this option by default..
Any one who tried this .. can you please help with some pointers on this.
Column1 less than 100 or greater than 2000 --> This condition has to be sent from the dashboard. So my option in SQL is to use NOT in between 100 and 2000.
Thanks in advance
Kris

Hi kris,
in the prompts you will have not between condition check out....if not write a SQL like this for the prompt
SELECT FROM table_name WHERE column_name not between 100 and 2000*
(OR)
SELECT FROM table_name WHERE column_name >= 100 AND column_name<= 2000*
you want values in that range then the SQL should be
SELECT FROM table_name WHERE column_name between 100 and 2000*
check this article
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/02/26/oracle-bi-ee-101332-between-prompts-for-date-columns-using-presentation-variables
UPDATED POST
in place of constant values play with your session variables or Presentation variables by writing this above SQL according to your requirment and you would get your solution.Give a try then comment is it working or not.
Hope answers your question.
Cheers,
KK

Server and Presentation Variables and Displaying in Dashboard Report

Hello I am running into dead ends trying to get what seems a simple request implemented. The user would like to be prompted for a Date range and have the dates they select displayed in the Title of the report, they also would like the default data set returned be the prior month (so not all data is returned when they initially run the Dashboard)
I have a Dashboard prompt where the user is prompted for a Date Range (Date column). My first issue was being able to display the Date range in the title. I used the below post from Venkash
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/02/26/oracle-bi-ee-101332-between-prompts-for-date-columns-using-presentation-variables/
I set the Case statements in the Dashboard prompt to equal then passed them to a Presentation variable. I then used these to be displayed in the Title of my Answers report.
The issue now is automating prior month, I was informed I would have to set up a Repository Variables to initialize two columns - one bringing in Prior Month First Day and one bringing in Prior Month Last Day. I then set these as the defaults in the Dashboard Prompt.
This works, however, my problem now is when the values are displayed in the report initially, they have the value of TimeStamp '01-01-2008 00:00:00'. When I put in values in the Dashboard Prompt and hit go the values are replaced correctly with whatever I put in - 1/1/2008.
I assume the TimeStamp shows because of the initialization I am doing in the repository, I don't see any way of changing this so it reflects just the date, I am using the sysdate in the formula on the repository - I tried converting to_char first setting the format then converting back to Date. But still no luck.
Has anyone else encountered this? Or am I even going about it the wrong way? Sorry for the long post, I look forward to any input, thanks!!!

No it errors out when I try to Cast the server variable as a Date in the Dashboard Prompt interface.
The variable I created in the repository (Server/Dynamic) has the formula:
SELECT Add_Months(TO_DATE((to_char(sysdate,'mm')) || '/' || '01/' || to_char(sysdate,'YYYY'),'MM/DD/YYYY'),-5) from dual
This is set up with an Initialization block that when I first run the report it displays in the title
TIMESTAMP '2007-10-01 00:00:00'
This will display no matter what I change the Initialization block to (01, ab, etc) so I guess it is something from the formula.
Now when a user does enter a value into the prompt box and hits GO the title changes to reflect a date and looks great (10/1/2007), but I guess this is because it is now passing the database column value to this presentation variable.
I assume this all revolves around the formula I am creating in the repository to return a default of 10/1/2007 so it can be displayed in the report header like that and not with the TimeStamp format above.
I appreciate all your input, thanks again!

BI publisher reports LOV paramter is not working in Dashboard

All,
I have a BI publisher report with parameters list of values. The publisher report is working fine when I run the report and select one or 2 more more values form this (LOV) parameters.
Now I created new dashboard prompt with presentation variable set to the same name as the above parameter in publisher. Added both this dashboard prompt and BI publisher report on the dashboard page. everything works as long as I select only 1 value from this parameter. As soon as I select more than one value I get error. After checking in the log file I see this error

SQL not working in Multiselect prompt

Hi all,
I have restricted the results in Multiselect Prompt by giving the sql query.It is working fine but when i try to search for particular record in Multiselect it is not filtering the results by applying the query instead it is using the base query with no restrictions.
Please help.

I understand and I don't understand... So you have a dashboard prompt set to multi-select, yes? You have changed "Show" to "SQL Results" and added your "active products" filter, yes? Now with the prompt and report in the dashboard, you click on the ellipsis of the prompt and for example, you change "Match" to "begins with," type "A" and click on "Go" which then displays all the values that begin with "A," yes?
Now you select those "A" products and click on the left arrow to bring them to the left pane, yes? Then you click "Ok" which closes the window and click on "OK" one more time to run the prompt, yes?
Now you are saying that the report filters "all the products that start with 'A' both active and inactive, yes? And this is what I don't understand. The report should be filtered by the specific "A" starting products you selected in the prompts, not "all 'A' starting values" regardless of whether they are active or inactive. If you have "Is Prompted" on the appropriate column, you should get only those values from the prompt, nothing more.
How are you getting "all values that start with 'A'"? Please explain.

BEx Fiscal Period variables not working in Webi

Hello,
We have an BEx user entry variable for Fiscal period, that works correctly in BEx. In the prompt LOV, I get values from year 2003 to 2013.
When I run it in Webi, the LOV starts from year 0000 to 2040. Also there are 16 periods in a year, wheras the LOV displays 24 period, even after restricting on fiscal variant.
Has anyone successfully been able to make Webi work with BEx fiscal period variants?
Thanks,
Nikhil

I created a universe objects with following in the
"Select"
[0P_FPER].[NAME]
"Where" condition
<FILTER KEY = "@Select(Fiscal year Period\LovPeriod_Fiscal Year)">
<CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION = "Greater">
<CONSTANT CAPTION = "AB1000001"/>
</CONDITION></FILTER>
When I create a report with this object, I get no data.
I change the above to
"Select"
[0P_FPER].[NAME]
"Where" condition
<FILTER KEY = "@Select(Fiscal year Period\LovPeriod_Fiscal Year)">
<CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION = "Less">
<CONSTANT CAPTION = "AB1000001"/>
</CONDITION></FILTER>
I tried changing the CONSTANT CAPTION values, everytime "Less" works but "Greater" does not. Does "Greater" not work?

BW hierarchy variable not working in Crystal Report 2008

Hi,
I have created BEx 7.0 report which has hierarchy on 0customer object, the report is working fine whith hierarchy variable. I have created Crystal Report by using this query as source. I have followed below link to create grouping to get data through hierarchy variable.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/BWHierarchiesinCrystalReports
But report does not work for hierarchy variable and report is blank. When I give filter of child node which has actual data then I get report output. For ex.
Below hierarchy for 0customer
11396
- 737007
- 123456
When I run report for 11396 then no data display but when I run 737007 child node I get report output but with blank group name.
Can anyone came accross this issue. Please guide me . Thanks in advance.

Thanks Ingo for your reply..
The word filter means, I have hierarchy node variable in the BEx report that has become Parameter in CR. When I give hierarchy node variable value of parent node then there is not data display but for the child node I get the data.
For ex. In the info cube there is data for 730707 customer but in the customer hierarchy the parent node of 73707 is 11396. I am giving 11396 in the variable pop screen for hierarchy variable. I do not see any data but for 73707 I get data.
User does not know 73707, he always enter 11396 customer no. and he gets data in BEx query that is source of CR. but crystal report is not showing data for 11396.
One more point I want to tell here, I am saving CR at my local system not to SAP BW server.
Hope this clear my issue.

Row Level Security - Data filter - Roles Variable Not working in OBIEE 11.1.1.7.1

Hi all,
Previously, we were using OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 and we were able to assign users to application roles by using the initialization block to assign the ROLES session variables.
1. My USER_SECURITY table in Oracle database:
USER_NAME | USER_ID | ROL
user1       | 1723    | GobalDataRole
user2       | 1739    | GobalDataRole
user3      | 1743    | GobalDataRole
2. The SQL query in my session initialization block:
select USER_NAME, USER_ID, ROL
from USER_SECURITY
where USERNAME = ':USER'
3. The row-wise initialization option is not checked.
4. In the Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control, we created new application role: GobalDataRole and sync with rpd.
5. The GobalDataRole is used in the RPD to filter the data under permissions --> data filter. GobalDataRole only has access to Country A data.
6. Result: under my account, also in rpd Manage --> Sessions, user variable details
User_name , user_id & Rol variable is working fine as expected,
When we log in as user1, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role; GobalDataRole
When we log in as user2, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role; GobalDataRole
When we log in as user3, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role; GobalDataRole
User1, User2, and User3 are able to see the data correctly according the their data access setup.
Now, we using OBIEE 11.1.1.7.1 and using the same method, but we not able to assign users to application roles by using the initialization block to assign the ROLES session variables anymore.
Result:
User_name & user_id variable is working fine as expected, but the ROl variaible is not capturing the DB value,
When we log in as user1, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role
When we log in as user2, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role
When we log in as user3, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role
User1, User2, and User3 can see all data (which is wrong) because they are not assigned to the correct application role that sets the data restriction/filter.
Has anyone encountered the same issue? Any advice on how to solve this?
Thanks in advance!
Satheeshkumar P

Thanks user10615659   ,
- Yes the variable ROLES available in OBIEE 11.1.1.7.1
- Tested the init block and variables in offline rpd its working as expected.
- In online rpd, except ROLES and GROUP variable remaining variables working fine.
- Verified log file in both online and offline init block testing - the init block execution is successful.
Thanks

Text Variable not working correctly

In CS3 I could create a TEMPLATE (.indt) with the "creation date" text variable in it and when I opened it it would have the CURRENT DATE (the date the new file was generated from the template) . In CS4 it opens with the date the TEMPLATE was MADE and not the current date (the day the new file was generated). I need the template to open with the current date (the day the template was opened). I tried using the "modification date" variable which works the FIRST time but if I open it the next day the date changes. I need the date to remain the same as the creation date. Does this make sense? Why did Adobe change the behavior of this? Please help.
-John Streeter

Hi Rakesh,
Just curious what is the purpose of creating a hidden column as suggested? Anyway, I have created it but nothing changes.
Allow me to clarify my situation again.
I have three columns:
1. Actual This Year
Type: Selection
2. Actual Last Year
Type: Selection
3. % of Actual This Year / Actual Last Year
Type: Formula
Definition: (Actual This Year) %A (Actual Last Year)
All columns use &0T_FYEAR& as text replacement variable. As such, all title would have year text.
The first two columns have been restricted with Fiscal Year variable, 0P_FYEAR.
1. Actual This Year
0P_FYEAR
2. Actual Last Year
0P_FYEAR - 1
Upon executing the query, I got the first two columns displaying their titles right, but the third column does not.
For example, let's assume I entered 2008 for 0P_FYEAR variable, the columns would display the following titles:
1. 2008
2. 2007
3. &0T_FYEAR&
I need the third column to display current fiscal year i.e. 2008 but it does not.
Appreciate your help!
