Prompts issue in Dashboards

Hi All
We have an issue in Dashboards.
We have five dashboards for Project Accounting module.
For all the five dashboards we have five different prompts. For couple of prompts we have selected default values and this varies from one dashboard prompt to the other.
Now the issue is , when the user navigates from one dashboard to the other , assuming from 1st to 2nd , the 2nd dashboard prompt is taking the 1st dashboard prompt values as default even though that is not what we have selected as default value. Why is this happening?
Ex: Freeze Month is the dashboard prompt and we have two values "20-FEB-2012" , "15-MAR-2012" as values.
1) For 1st dashboard both the values has been selected as default values for the user.
2) For 2nd dashboard only "15-MAR-2012" has been set as default value.
However when user navigates to the 2nd dashboard , the 1st dashboard values are appearing as default which shouldnt happen.
Hope my explanation is clear , can somebody help me on this.

Try to duplicate the filter columns(at rpd) for each dashboard and see. In that case the values will not be passed from one dashboard to another. for eg. Freeze Month_Dash1, Freeze_Month_Dash2, etc.

Prompting issues on dashboard pages

I have a 3 page dashboard that conform to a form of hierarchy
-- Page one summarises the highest level of date by month (based on a dashboard prompt)
-- Page two shows the middle level of data based on a prompt from Page one
-- Page three shows the lowest level of data based on a prompt from Page two
For example:
Page 1 shows Car sales by Maker (Ford, Chrysler VW etc), clicking on one of these will take you to Page 2 which shows the sales per Model (Focus, Fusion, Taurus etc) and clicking on one of these will take you to Page 3 which shows the sales by Package (S, SE, SES, SEL etc).
This all seems to work fine, the date selected on Page 1 is passed to the other pages. The problem arises when I go back to Page 1 after drilling-down to either Page 2 or 3. Returning to Page 1 after this means that the chart & table there only shows data for the Maker for the Model and Package selected on Pages 2 & 3.
The only prompted field on Page 1 is the "month" field that takes its prompt from the dashboard prompt, I can't see why this is picking up selections from the drill-down & not just returning the full data set. Can anyone help?

Hmmm, further Googling suggests it may be an issue with Dashboard Page State Persistence in config.xml. Has anyone else come across this?

Hi John
They're column based & each page has a seperate report. I hadn't protected the filters on the top level report - I have now & that seems to have sorted it.
Thank you, that was really bugging me. We're still in UAT & all these little niggles that aren't in the manuials are cropping up.

Hi Mano,
This is how I did at my work place....instead of creating logical column in RPD and all the way through the process....
IF you want to drag the same column as 2 prompts...within the prompts page you can do like this.....
First Add the column (in mycase which is number data type) and lable the lable1, then drag any other column that is also the same data type and put the name as LAble2 and copy the formula expression from label1 (ie..table.columnname) to Lable2 forula expression...
Basically you are using the same column with different names..thats it...I hope this helps and this is what you are looking for...
Let me know if i understood wrong...

Issue in Dashboard Prompt of OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I had recently migrated from OBIEE 10g to OBIEE 11g.
I had found that there are lot of things which were working on OBIEE 10g are not working in OBIEE 11g.
For Eg:
I have scenario where i have 2 dashboards with different dashboard prompts.
- *1st Dashboard*: I have prompt with 4 columns Year, Month, Qtr and Week. I can filter the data based on the selection of prompt.i.e Summary Report showing all KPIs and when clicked on the any of the KPI it goes to Below report which shows the graphical view of past weeks data.
- Report: Here i show all the week Ids in the Graph format and when clicked on the any week id it navigates to 2nd Dashboard(below) with appropriate week populated in the prompt and show the detailed records.
- *2nd Dashboard*: I have prompt with 5 columns Year, Month, Qtr, Week and Day of the Week with some detailed report. Here the only Week Id should be pre populated and show data based on the week id selection in the above report.
The issue here in OBIEE 11g is, The month Id which was selected in 1st Dashboard prompt is also getting pre populated into the 2nd dashboard prompt. Which should not happen.
Note: This was working fine in OBIEE 10g.
Is there any way to fix this issue in OBIEE 11g.
Regards
Shyam

Hi Bala,
Thank you for your response.
I had tried that and resolved my problem but it was impacting other reports i.e
I have other reports in 1st Dashboard with different tabs, Here i want the prompt value to be persisted across the reports in same dashboard so that when i go to other tab with in same dashboard the prompt value should be pre-populated and the data should be filtered against that.
Now if i change the scope to page then i will be loosing this functionality.
It was working on OBIEE 10g and i lost this after migrating to OBIEE 11g.
Can you please help me in this regard.
Regards
Shyam

Prompt Propagation Issue across dashboard pages in a dashboard

I have a issue of prompt propagation in a dashboard, that is the various dashboard page prompts use same presentation layer column then the prompts are taking the filter values filters on each other dashboard. Even if I try to change the scope of each dashboard prompt to only dashboard page only the value propagates to next dashboard page.
I cannot redesign the whole dashboard as it will need lot of effort , I have implemented a fix for now but I am searching for some java script code which I could invoke using OnPageLoad event to clear and reset all the page prompts to defalut values.
Can you guys let me know if you have any java script like this.

Can some one provide a alternative solution to this issue.
Once more I am writing down the issue:
On a dashboard is multiple dashboard pages multiple prompts, but if there are some prompts common between those dashboard pages which basically shares the same column formula, then these dashboard do propagate their values from one dashboard page to another.
Even setting the dashboard page prompt scope to page only cant stop this values propagation issue form one dashboard to another.
I know to fix it I will have to redesign the whole dashboard but that will take lot of time and effort starting from RPD to Reports.
is there some fix to fix it in the OBIEE Answers itself without touching the RPD. I cant try changing the column formula with case statement as then the case will flow in the report query and it will not use the index defined on the columns.
Please let me know if some one can throw some light on this.

Can we hide a prompt in a dashboard page/

Hi All, I have a doubt about prompts.can we hide a prompt in a dashboard page without hide a section. Thanks, Hari.

If I'm not wrong I dont think so, check this for possible options http://intelligentinsight.wordpress.com/2012/10/20/obiee-11g-hidden-prompts-and-hiding-prompts/
I think we may do it using JavaScript or CSS.

Issue with Dashboard Prompt passing value to Presentation Variable

I have 2 tabular reports that grab 2 variables respectively: @Month and @Year.
The reports work fine.
My issues is that to compute the most recent month & year, so I can pass the values to the 2 variables mentioned above, I have a dashboard prompt on the same page as the 2 reports. In the dashboard prompts (Edit Box types), I have SQL in the "Default" that computes the most recent month & year. This logic also works perfectly when you preview the results of the prompt.
My issue is that when I land on the page, it seems that the month & year prompts are not computing. I have an old value of "Dec" "2009" instead of "May" "2010".
It seems the Default SQL logic is NOT running on its own? As an aside, we do our development in a test environment and the catalog is promoted to production nightly. The "Dec" and "2009" I see is the correct value for the test environment, so it looks as if the defaul values are just being migrated with the catalog, but then the SQL to compute the latest values of the 2 propmts are never executing when the user lands on the page? Thus everyone sees Dec 2009 data instead of May 2010...Help!

This logic also works perfectly when you preview the results of the prompt.You are creating the second prompt (edit box) to make the first prompt values, You can use the same sql in the report default to SQL in the first prompt itself.
If I am wrong please clarify.

Default Selection Issue in Dashboard Prompt

Hi All,
I am using the below logical SQL in SQL Results for Default Selection of a column in a dashboard prompt,
SELECT "Facts"."Service Provider", "Config"."Integration Id" FROM "IMONIT - Transaction Log" WHERE "Config"."Integration Id"='@{inttype}'
Here, I have used a presentation variable, which is set by another prompt. Also the Facts and Config table are joined in RPD. The issue is it does not selects the values returned by the logical SQL by default. But if i use the same logical SQL in SQL Results of Choice List Values for the same column in the prompt, the logical SQL does work and populates the prompt only with the values returned by the logical SQL.
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Maria

Deepak, actually the scenario is that I am navigating to the page with the dashboard prompt from another answers report located on another dashboard page. This SQL works perfectly when I press the GO button of prompt on the same page. But its not working when I am navigating to the same page with the prompt from any other report. Any ideas ?

Dashboard Prompt Issue

hi all,
I have taken four coulmns as prompts.
Prompt coulmn names : Region, Start date, End Date, Meeting name.
All the four columns are from the same table
My Scenario:
if the user selects the prompt 1[region], and then the prompt 2[start date] and 3[end date] in order, then for the prompt 4 [meeting name] - i should get the meetings that were conducted for that region and between the specified dates.
i have selected the constrain option for the 1st three columns in the dashboard prompt.
but still i am not able to get the particular list of meeting names...
pls suggest me some solution...
thanks,
ILAZZ

Thanks Guys, This works...
I have given the constraint in the meeting also.
Now, the dates prompts are giving some problem..
only if i give the exact value for the start and end date i m getting the result
For Ex: if i select xxx as region and give 2-24-10 as start date and 4-30-10 as end date then i m getting the exact 5 meeting names record.
if suppose i select the filters from 1-1-10 to 4-30-10, i should get all the meeting names which falls between those dates.
but it is giving the result as "No results"
how to rectify this ? pls help me.
regards,
ILAZZ

Dashboard prompt issue (Restricting Values in drop down) ????

Hi Friends,
In my report I have "days to start" column which list almost 10,000 values ranging from -1000 to 5000.
I need to create a prompt for this report on "Days to Start" column.
When I create a prompt on Days to start with Operator "Greater than" and Control "Drop Down List" it shows me all the values in Drop down.
I need only specific Values like 30, 60, 90, 180 which might not be in the "days to start" column.
If I select "SQL Result" what should be the SQL for that??
Is there any other way to solve this problem
Aprreciate your help on this
Thanks

You could make a table VALUES with 1 column and fill it with values like 30,60,90....then in sql you'd write SELECT * FROM VALUES....as simple as that
(of course, it'd have to be in RPD, and you'd need to expose it in Presentation layer)
Edited by: wildmight on Feb 19, 2009 8:18 AM
Also, you could try this - it works for me - but it could be slower and you might want to figure out how to round it - also, it has to be a number or cast to number format
SELECT Table."Column"/30 saw_0 FROM "Subj Area" ORDER BY saw_0

Prompt issue in obiee 11g

Hi Gurus,
In dashboard while selecting prompt getting 'Unable to get value of the property 'viewstate':object is null or undefined error.i am using IE 9 browser.
could you please let me know how to resolve this issue ? Thanks in advance.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg622942%28v=VS.85%29.aspx
Basically, IE9 breaks flash ExternalInterface calls if your flash component is embedded with an object tag with an embed tag fallback, and the object id and embed name is the same.
The easiest workaround is to tell ie9 to render your page in IE8 Standards mode. To do this, insert this in the element:
 <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" >
Otherwise, you might just want to use the object tag only or embed tag only.

Performance Issue in Dashboard using SAP BW NetWeaver Connection

HI Experts ,
We developed Dashboard which is based on BW Queries, However it is taking considerable amount time while executing.
We are using BO Dashboard SP2 version ,BO 4.1 and BI system 7.01 .
We are looking for few clarifications on SAP BO Xcelsius Dashboards.
Though we know limitations on component number and data volumes which could badly affect performance of the dashboard, We do have a requirement to handle huge data volumes and multiple components. Our source data lies in SAP BI system and we are using BICS connectivity/ Webi with QAAWS for updating data in BO dashboard .
Our requirement is too complex where we should be in a position to meet user expectations for complete view 75 KPI’s in a single Dashboard.
We have scenarios like YTD ,QTD and MTD other complex calculations in Bex Query.
Here are my questions,
Is there any way to provide complete functionality using large data sets to the users with the current architecture without any performance issues?
Are there any third party tools which can be used with BO Dashboard for the performance improvement and handling huge volumes?
Do you suggest any alternate solution for complete functionality?
Many thanks for your inputs in advance!

Hi Rajesh,
Thank you so much for your response.
I have tried the way you suggested. But here my issue is , I have a prompt in my webi report based on months selection and it is a single valued prompt.
so I was able to schedule my report only for one month;whereas my dashboard needs to show values for one year data based on the months the user will select in the dashboard.
Though i use the WebI instance data in the dashboard , i getting only one month value, also I am not able to associate the selected month for the WebI instance in dashboard.
Is there any option to schedule webI report for different months and the dashboard has to pick the 12 months instance and the combo box selection in the dashboard must associate with it??
Please help me with your thoughts.

Issue with Dashboard customization in OBIEE 11G

Hi All,
I have a dashboard page with 1 prompt and 4 sections. My need is to show all sections minimized when a user logs in to the analytics. So as a Admin I have minimized all sections and saved the customization for others as Default customization.
Now the problem is I have column called Month in my Prompt, which is a Multi select column, for this column I made to select few values by default using SQL results option, which basically selects all months less than current month, for example current month is Jan'13 so values till Dec'12 month will be checked by default. Since we have saved customization, the month column is not getting refreshed , for example when I login to analytics on Feb'13 , the data is still checked till Dec'12, which ideally should also include Jan'13 as well.
Anyone please advise on this issue.
Thanks,
GJ

Hi,
I used this method with success in a number of dashboards, it should work also in your case.
I defined the dashboard prompt to have column values defaulted in some way (by means of specifying explicit values, using SQL results or variables, etc - the method does not matter).
I built the dashboard page including prompt and analyses.
Then I run the dashboard page and, without doing anything other, I collapsed the sections I wanted to start as closed and saved as shared customization.
It does work fine in my case, the prompt works as specified.
Hope this helps,
Cristina

Multi selecter prompt issue

Hi All,
**Below issue i faced in OBIEE 10.1.3.2** but
In my Dashboard page i have created a Multiselecter Prompt and i have selected more than one values in prompt.
While exporting the dashboard page into PDF format the PDF showing only one value from Prompt instead of all values.
Example:
i have COUNTRY Prompt(multi Selested Prompt).
User selected two countries country1,country2 while exporting dashboard page into PDF format.
PDf showing only one value.
Thanks Advance

Now, i got your question...
I had the same issue, in my previous project... i found that issue is because of: some special character values it's containing.
I written Logical SQL for prompt: (try these SQLs)
SELECT DISTINCT Table.ColumnName FROM SubjectArea WHERE Table.ColumnName not null
OR
SELECT DISTINCT Table.ColumnName FROM SubjectArea WHERE Table.ColumnName not in (' ')
