Prompt problem in BO6.1

Hello,
I am using BO 6.1.
I have some questions:
1. Suppose I created a prompt for countries. At run time it will show all 50 countries. How can I make it show only 10 countries?
I could not make @Prompt function working. I am still unsure how can I use it in conditions in the data provider.
2. About cascading prompts: How to show one prompt after another depending on prompts value. Can someone give the sample example?
3. Can I put a combo or drop down box for selecting prompt values.
Thanks,
UJ

User Defined Reporting (Prompts) Problem

I'm running Crystal Reports XI R2. I want to write a report that uses user-input to determine the parameters of the report. The Crystal Reports Online Help says that, to do this, I need to employ "prompts" and that you do this by dragging the field you want to be the determining factor to the "Query Filters" pane.
Problem is, I've torn through this thing and, as far as I can tell, there is no "Query Filters" pane. Is that a BO thing? I'm not running BO, just CR. Is there a way to do this with just CR? Am I staring the "Query Filters" pane in the face, and I just don't know it? Help isn't helping on this.
Thanks!

Scarring it for life.
Actually, I was working with General Ledger data, so account numbers are made up of fund number, location number, department number, etc. all squished into one account number which the table I was reporting on was keyed by. Well, the Money Guys (TM) needed a report on all transactions in X fund, at Y location, in Z department. Those were my parameter fields that needed prompts. Well, you can't create a parameter field for a formula field (rats!) so I couldn't extract those parts of the account number and then filter on them, so I had to pull in a custom view from SQL Server that had the numbers broken down into their components and do parameter prompts on them.
For the record, I did NOT design this database.
Thanks again for the help!

InfoView date prompts problem

Hi everyone,
I have problem with prompt summary object in InfoView. In universe I have date prompts, e.x:
@Prompt('Period from [yyyy-mm-dd]','D',,MONO,FREE)
but at prompt summary InfoView shows some numbers, e.x:
Period from [yyyy-mm-dd] 1315180800000
I have no idea what causes this situation.

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to get Date Prompts from one Date Column. This is the approach i followed from previous post.
Re: how to get date prompts from one date column
My Approach
1) In the report I set filter on Date column with presentation variable as startdate with some default date and in the fx window i applied
CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN table.Date ELSE table.Date END
2) I repeated the same thing by getting same date column with Presentation Variable as Enddate with some default date and in the fx i applied
CASE WHEN 1=1 THEN table.Date ELSE table.Date END
3) In the Dashboard prompt i got the same date column twice by applying same formulas in fx, default to - server variable - sysdate and setting Set variable - presentation variable - startdate and same thing with Enddate.
The report is working fine but the report is not pulling all the records. I mean to say i have data from 12:04:36 am but report is pulling from 12:37:53 am. So i am missing some records. I dont know where i am doing mistake.
Could someone please help me out
Thank You
Edited by: 792011 on Sep 14, 2011 11:00 AMBased on what you said you did, it shouldn't work. The CASE statement you have in steps 1) and 2) which you put in the fx window of two columns, are in effect the same thing as just having two instances of your table.Date column.
Follow the steps in this link and you should be good to go:

Bash prompt vs Zsh prompt problem [SOLVED]

I have set up my .zshrc and it works perfectly
function bat1()
echo $(( $(awk ' /remaining/ {print $3} ' /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state) * 100 / 71590 ))
# 71590 is the capacity of my #1 bat in mWh
function bat2()
echo $(( $(awk ' /remaining/ {print $3} ' /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state) * 100 / 46620 ))
# 46620 is the capacity of my #2 bat in mWh
#Right-side zsh promp :
RPROMPT=' $PR_RED$(bat1)/$(bat2)$PR_NO_COLOR'
Each time I get a new prompt(when a command finishes or I simply type <Return>) the battery info is updated.
Now let's consider bash :
Same functions, same way of working :
PS1="$(bat1)/$(bat2) >"
The problem is that bash does not automatically update the battery info. I need to source my .bashrc, which is, of course, a real pain.
Can any bash guru help me to find a solution to make bash work like zsh ?

Try
PS1="$(bat1)/$(bat2) >"

Schedule webi with prompts problem

I want to schedule a webi document that has prompts.
If the data of the webi document is purged, I have a problem when scheduling that webi document. Before the schedule starts, the values of the webi document must be set. But if the data is purged, the list of the prompts is empty.
String query = "select * from ci_infoobjects where si_id = 3427";
IInfoObjects infoObjects = iStore.query(query);
IWebi webi = (IWebi) infoObjects.get(0);
List prompts = webi.getPrompts();
In the above example prompts is empty.
In [http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=87466&sid=1e70a1f434d279a78a0f8935bd245951] I see that I can use the following:
ReportEngines reportEngines = (ReportEngines) session.getService("ReportEngines");
ReportEngine reportEngine = reportEngines.getService(ReportEngines.ReportEngineType.WI_REPORT_ENGINE);
DocumentInstance docInstance = reportEngine.openDocument(webi.getID());
PromptsUtil.populateWebiPrompts(docInstance.getPrompts(), webi);
After doing this, webi.getPrompts() isn't empty any more.
But PromptsUtil is deprecated.
So I wonder if there isn't a better way to make this possible.

PromptsUtil isn't deprecated. The documentation should be corrected.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Prompt Problem after upgrading to 10.1.3.4.2

I just upgraded from 10.1.3.4.1 to 10.1.3.4.2 and I'm now seeing some strange behavior with dashboard prompts.
I first created a new prompt for selecting a division and did not assign it to a variable. On the Answers page I created a filter on the division column and chose Is Prompted. On the dashboard when I make the selection from the list nothing happens including no sql being generated.
I then assigned the prompt to a presentation variable called varPickDiv. I changed the Answers filter to be
Division is equal to / is in @{varPickDiv}
When I test it in the dashboard and look at the log I see the following:
-------------------- SQL Request:
SET VARIABLE QUERY_SRC_CD='Report',SAW_DASHBOARD='/shared/Sample Sales/_portal/Test Date',SAW_DASHBOARD_PG='page 1',SAW_SRC_PATH='/users/administrator/Date Test';SELECT Organization.Division saw_0, Date."Month" saw_1, Measures."SIK Attempts All" saw_2 FROM main WHERE Organization.Division IN ('dashboard.variables[''varPickDiv'']', 'Central Division') ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1
-------------------- Sending query to database named mezen (id: <<15789>>):
With
set [Date3] as '[Date].Generations(3).members'
set [Organization2] as '{[Organization].[Central Division], [Organization].[dashboard.variables['varPickDiv']]]}'
select
{ [Measures].[SIK_Attempt_All]
} on columns,
NON EMPTY {crossjoin ({[Date3]},{[Organization2]})} properties ANCESTOR_NAMES, GEN_NUMBER on rows
from [SIKAgg.main]
So where did this come from: [Organization].[dashboard.variables['varPickDiv']]?
It seems to be causing problems sending it to Essbase.
Thanks for any guidance.
Thanks,
Brad

This all worked fine with the previous version. I'm not thinking it has anything to do with Essbase. I think there might be a problem with the install since using Is Prompted doesn't even work and it did in the older version.
I did try it with the default and that part worked (i.e., it queried based off the default value when initially opening the dashboard), but when I select from the dropdown prompt I get:
dashboard.variables['varPickDiv']
added to the dropdown list. This seems to me like something wrong is going on.
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. I may just end up doing a new install after backing up all my work and then just add those files back in.
Thanks,
Brad

How to monitor DFS login prompt problem? (share corruption)

Twice we have experienced problems with our DFS shares, both times we discovered that there was one server with a share problem. If we tried to open a share from that server we got a logon prompt. The fastest fix was to rename the DFS folder and the new
one was replicated in minutes.
There was about a year between the first and the second time we had this problem.
The problem is that our Citrix environment is built on DFS shares. Both times when we got this DFS problem we couldn’t find the cause straight away, it took some hours to discover it was DFS. This problem got a big impact on our production environment.
Lately I create a lot of Powershell scripts that checks the status of something. If we got a problem with something (like Exchange) then I search for the symptoms of how I can recognize it with Powershell. The output of those scripts is returned to the monitoring
tool Nagios.
I want to create a check for this DFS problem, so when it occurs we get an alarm from Nagios and we can fix it right away with less impact for our users. The problem is that I don’t have a lot of information about recognizing the symptoms of this DFS problem.
The only thing I know that there is a login prompt of accessing the share on per server.
The second problem is that I can’t test it, because I can’t and don’t to force a corruption on the DFS share.
I found someone that created a check based on writing a file to a DFS share and checked that date stamp of the file. For now it is my best option.
I’m wondering if there is someone that got a better idea or if somebody does know more symptoms about recognising this specific DFS problem. (Events (we couldn’t find them), errors in a log file)

Hi,
Please try to access the DFS file shares not the dfs path but the UNC path the DFS members to check if you still get a logon prompt.
You could also refer to the article below to see if it helps:
You cannot access a DFS share by using a valid user account in Windows Server 2008 R2, in Windows 7, in Windows Vista or in Windows Server 2008

Sound problem and command prompt problem

hi
My new cq40 610tu compaq laptop works with only left side speaker is it build with only one left side speaker? Is there no dual speaker? But with head phone two headphone speaker works properly. tell me details.
another problem when we open command prompt in winxpSP2 it is not stable after few seconds it turns off automatically. When I type large things in ms word 2003 cursor goes different place automatically. whats the problem?
I purchase this laptop just 15 days ago. What's the solutions?
thanks
Dhiman

Hi kbzone,
... there should difinitely be no sparks ) I recommend that you start with checking the wiring ... is the computer connected to earth, is the amplifier? Are they connected via the same power socket? Are you sure that the amplifier is OK?
Then, will it be possible to have any sound from the card if the amplifier is not used? You can try removing cards, uninstalling drivers and then re-install ...
It is well possible that by now you have damaged your soundcard, btw

BW_BO Webi prompt Problem

Hi Experts,
I'm using BI 7.0 EHP1 with BO XI 3.1 SP2 and creating Webi reports on top of OLAP Universes.
I have a BW variable of
Type-User enty/default value
Variable entry -Optional and ready for ready for Input.
and I'm able to key in the values of my variable on BW side but the same variable in the webi report ,I'm unable to keyin the values.
Please suggest me for the solution.
Thanks

the option to enter freely is just a parameter in the actual prompt syntax (= free)
Here is my syntax and I can know where to tweak it
<OPTIONAL><FILTER KEY="[DWCRONRA]"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Between"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('FL Create date From','A','Date Record Created\LovFL Create dateBase',mono,primary_key)"/><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('FL Create date To','A','Date Record Created\LovFL Create dateBase',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER></OPTIONAL>
but keep in mind that in case the user is entering the values manually that the user needs to enter key values and that it then leads to the point that Web Intelligence has to 'resolve" the name into the actual technical name.
Could you please elaborate more on the above lines.
Thanks

UCCX 7 audio prompts problem - sound distorted

Hi,
We have a UCCX 7 system which holds many IVR prompts, lately we added a new audio prompt to be played if users are waiting in the queue of the IVR.
The prompt is being played normally but at some points of the prompt the sound is a little distorted, it is a music ad, and when the music gets high the sound is some how distored which is not accepted by our management.
The file specifications are like the rest of the prompts which is::
1. Bit Rate= 64kbps
2. Audio sample size= 8 bit
3. Channels = 1 (mono)
4. Audio sample rate = 8khz
5. Audio format = u-law
The codecs of the prompts is G.711.
Apreciate any assistance please, thanks a lot.

Hi
No, if you run G729 you will get poor quality music. It's just a function of the way that G729 works.
The option you mentioned makes UCCX run G729 prompts natively - if all communications to/from the UCCX server need to run G729, there's no point sending them out at g711 and having to transcode everyting. Conversely if you mainly use G711, you would have UCCX run G711 prompts so that you don't lose audio quality for no good reason.
If you need good quality, then you can do one of these two things IF your music is just played in between the prompts. If you have prompts created with background music embedded in it then you can't do this:
1) stream the music as G711 from CallManager by ensuring the MoH server is in a region that allows g711 between it and your PSTN gateways on the remote site
2) stream the music as G711 from the local gateway using multicast; there are lots of references on how to do this on this forum and on cisco.com.
If you have background music mixed in with the voice in your prompts, and you need good quality then your only real option is to stop using G729, or start again with voice-only prompts and an MoH solution as suggested above.

Aaron

Business rule, runtime prompt problem

Hi Gurus,
We have one business rule which contain run time prompt where global variable assigned to it, when I run the rule form workspace I would able see all numbers from prompt window
But when I run the same from Excel Smartview, I couldn't able to find all members from prompt windows.
I was wondering what would be the cause?
Thnx.

Hi Amit,
The person running the rule will need to have read access to both cost centers in order to transfer otherwise as you have seen the prompt will be invalid -- when select the prompt you should find the cost center that have no access to do not appear in the prompt itself. If you a value that the prompt does not make available then it will error out.
If you do not want to provide read access to both cost centers, you may be able to setup a multi-step process with a transfer out by a previous owner and transfer in by the new owner using a temporary cost center both have read access to -- workforce planning uses both (one step and two step) depending on how your security is provisioned.

Enable Database Logon Prompt problem

Post Author: saied
CA Forum: .NET
I have a report in which I pass the connection information to a connectionInfo object like
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();connectionInfo.UserID = "user";connectionInfo.Password = "password";connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "database";connectionInfo.ServerName = "server"; In the CrystalReportViewer smart tasks, I disable Database Logon Prompting, but when I do this, the Page Unload event is fired and the ReportDocument is set to null; therefore, throwing an object not set to an instance exception. I want to be able to bypass the Crystal Database Logon Prompt, but I can't figure out how to do it. If anyone knows what to do, please help. Thanks, SaiedH

I am using Visual Web Developer 2008 Edition and Crystal Reports 2008. This is one and only report so far. I am passing logon credentials from code. This report was working in crystal report but not working any more is either place crystal designer or .net.
I have to create subreport because i have one parent table and 2 diff child tables. one header table and 2 detail line tables. I was to see in report for each header tables multiple detail line items. If i join 3 tables then it multiplies no of line items and display wrong data. e.g. one BLheader (parent) table has 2 detail line items (1st child table) and 3 detailAccessories (2nd child table). I want to see 1 header, 2 detail lines, and 3 Accessories.
Please advice how should i display this in report. Thanks a lot.

Parameter Prompt Problem

Post Author: peachpx
CA Forum: General
Hi,
My report using a stored procedure with three parameters (Begin Date, End Date and Plant). When user chooses ether one I need to have a check box Set to Null for each of the parameter , which sets values week ago, current date and 1 respectively.   How can I do that? Do I declare it in the SQL query or formula in Crystal?
My report formula uses following:
if isnull({?End Date}) then
CurrentDate
else
cdate({?End Date})
if isnull({?Begin Date}) then
cdate(DateAdd ("d", -7, CurrentDate))
else
cdate({?Begin Date})
My SQL procedure uses:
WHERE    PR.Plant_id = isnull({?Plant},1) and
      P.INSP_DATETIME >= cast(convert(varchar,isnull({?Begin Date},getdate() - 7.0),1) + ' 06:30      AM' as datetime) and
P.INSP_DATETIME < cast(convert(varchar,isnull({?End Date},getdate()),1) + ' 06:30 AM' as datetime)
But I still do not get check box when report prompts for parameters.
Please help.

Command Prompt Problem

Hi everyone, I'm new to Java and I'm using version 6, on windows vista to compile and run some code. Out of nowhere though, after it had been working fine, every time I run the file (after it has compiled just fine with javac), it has simply opened up the notepad with the text i typed, essentially it just opens up the file and does not run the program. please help!!!

Create a batch file (*.bat) on notepad. Quick and simple.
Sample:
@echo off
java name
pauseName should obviously be whatever the class file name is. If you want to run Sample.class, you type in java Sample.
By the way, @echo makes it so you don't see the commands and pause puts the "Press any key to continue..." part at the end. If you don't put pause at the end, the window will just close by itself.
Edit: Put the batch file with the .class file. If the .class file is in Folder A, put the .bat file in Folder A. If you don't, it will begin to run, but it wont find the .class file.
