Prompts Value Order

Hi,
Is there any way we can control prompt value sort order? I meant I had defined a prompt in a report and currently value are displaying ascending order (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008). But I want to display descending order (2008, 2007, 2006, 2005). How to control this?

Hello,
If you are talking about dashboard prompts, then you can alter the sort order by Modifying Prompt. Select 'SQL Results' under 'Show' and then specify the order by clause for the SQL. If it is the answer request prompt, then you should be able to do the same. Select 'SQL Results' under 'What Values should be shown to the user?' and then specify the order by clause.
Thanks!

XML Publicher Report Output without Prompt Value

Hello,
I've one report(XML Publisher) which prints various data from PS_JOB,PS_PERSONAL_DATA and some other Performance tables.
The Prompt Values are from a dynamic view which shows the Subordinate employees(emplids and names) of the login employee.
The base query view i created has all the information of all active employees from all Business Unit. Now when i select when employee from prompt table the output values for that particular employee and is ok. But when i don't select anything(no table edit), it is not showing the output of my subordinates but for all the employee. That is Right because i've base report view is for all employees.
Is there any way that if i dont select anything from prompt values i'll get only output of my subordinates only?
Regards!

Thanks. I did try that before but the view didn't build but i don't how today the view built successfully.
But when i tried to run the query with a normal user who's having subordinate the excel output is still blank.
One more thing, when i checked Resolve Meta SQL in Application designer, the %oprclause doesn't resolve to PS.

Prompted value corrupts SQL WHERE clause - bug?

Using 10.1.3.4...
I implemented a simple pivot based request that navigates to a second request when the user drill down on one of the fields. This field is set to "value is prompted" in my second request. (I chose navigate method above drill (dimensions) for a few reasons not really important to this posting, mainly to do with format of requests at different levels)
All good and the drill down works well, parameters are passed correctly, except then I noticed that totals in my second request doesn't accurately tie back to my first request. After some research I found a very odd reason for this, my WHERE clause is getting corrupted - which almost looks like a bug in OBIEE and were wondering if anybody else has seen this behaviour from OBIEE and know a work around (before I try the Oracle support channels)
From Answers the request SQL is (I'll highlight the lines getting messed up):
SET VARIABLE DISABLE_CACHE_HIT = 1;
SELECT
BUSINESS_UNIT.Segment saw_0, BUSINESS_UNIT."Business Unit" saw_1, OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY saw_2, OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY saw_3, YEAR(OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) saw_4, OPPORTUNITY_ADDON.TCV_IN_USD/1000000 saw_5, OPPORTUNITY_ADDON.WEIGHTED_TCV_IN_USD/1000000 saw_6, CASE OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY WHEN 100 THEN OPPORTUNITY_ADDON.TCV_IN_USD/1000000 ELSE 0 END saw_7 FROM "Sales"
WHERE (OPPORTUNITY.STAGE NOT IN ('Lost', 'On Hold')) AND (YEAR(OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) >= YEAR(CURRENT_DATE)) AND
((({color:#ff0000}OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY > 25) AND (TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_MONTH, CURRENT_DATE,OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) <= 4)) OR ((OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY >= 10) AND (TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_MONTH, CURRENT_DATE,OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) > 4{color})))
ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1, saw_2, saw_3, saw_4, saw_5, saw_6, saw_7
Which results in the following SQL request (from NQQuery.log)... The prompted value (BUSINESS_UNIT.Segment) is added correctly to the WHERE clause, but see how the remainder get's changed:
SQL Request:
SET VARIABLE QUERY_SRC_CD='Report',SAW_DASHBOARD='/shared/01 - Financials/_portal/4. Pipeline',SAW_DASHBOARD_PG='Pipeline',SAW_SRC_PATH='/shared/01 - Financials/4. Pipeline/Pipeline - Current - T2',DISABLE_CACHE_HIT = 1;
SELECT
BUSINESS_UNIT.Segment saw_0, BUSINESS_UNIT."Business Unit" saw_1, OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY saw_2, OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY saw_3, YEAR(OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) saw_4, OPPORTUNITY_ADDON.TCV_IN_USD/1000000 saw_5, OPPORTUNITY_ADDON.WEIGHTED_TCV_IN_USD/1000000 saw_6, CASE OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY WHEN 100 THEN OPPORTUNITY_ADDON.TCV_IN_USD/1000000 ELSE 0 END saw_7 FROM "Sales"
WHERE (BUSINESS_UNIT.Segment = 'Enterprise') AND (OPPORTUNITY.STAGE NOT IN ('Lost', 'On Hold')) AND (YEAR(OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) >= YEAR(CURRENT_DATE)) AND
((({color:#ff0000}OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY >= 10) AND (TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_MONTH, CURRENT_DATE,OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) > 4)) OR ((OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY >= 10) AND (TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_MONTH, CURRENT_DATE,OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) > 4{color})))
ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1, saw_2, saw_3, saw_4, saw_5, saw_6, saw_7
Which definitely explains why my totals do not add up when drilling down. Interestingly, if I run my second request without the prompt from Answers, the SQL request works like a charm:
SET VARIABLE QUERY_SRC_CD='Report',SAW_SRC_PATH='/shared/01 - Financials/4. Pipeline/Pipeline - Current - T2',DISABLE_CACHE_HIT = 1;
SELECT BUSINESS_UNIT.Segment saw_0, BUSINESS_UNIT."Business Unit" saw_1, OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY saw_2, OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY saw_3, YEAR(OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) saw_4, OPPORTUNITY_ADDON.TCV_IN_USD/1000000 saw_5, OPPORTUNITY_ADDON.WEIGHTED_TCV_IN_USD/1000000 saw_6, CASE OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY WHEN 100 THEN OPPORTUNITY_ADDON.TCV_IN_USD/1000000 ELSE 0 END saw_7 FROM "Sales"
WHERE (OPPORTUNITY.STAGE NOT IN ('Lost', 'On Hold')) AND (YEAR(OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) >= YEAR(CURRENT_DATE)) AND
((({color:#ff0000}OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY > 25) AND (TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_MONTH, CURRENT_DATE,OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) <= 4)) OR ((OPPORTUNITY.CLOSEPROBABILITY >= 10) AND (TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_MONTH, CURRENT_DATE,OPPORTUNITY.ESTIMATEDCLOSE) > 4{color})))
ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1, saw_2, saw_3, saw_4, saw_5, saw_6, saw_7
Anybody had the same problem before?

Here's the excerpt (it's relative to crashing, but I think it should also address the bug):

Restricting the Prompt Values based on Fact table data

Hi,
We need dashboard prompts in OBIEE reports that will fetch data from dimension tables. Our all dimensions are conformed dimension having joined with multiple fact tables.
Because prompts are showing data from dimension table, it is showing all dimension data and few data might not present in the particular fact table that we have used in the report.
For Example:
We have one Calendar dimension table that has 20 years data that means all dates. Now we have two fact tables Fact1 and Fact2.
In Fact1 we have records related to only 2007 Years data. And In Fact2 We have 2008 years data.
Now We are creating two separate reports in two separate page in one dashboard where the prompt is same. That is Calendar date prompt.
So In report1, The prompt will be Calendare and Result will be from Fact1. But as the calendar prompt from Calendar dimension, it showing all 20 years data though only 2007 years data is valie.
Similarly for Report2, It is showing all calendar dates in the prompt where Fact2 is having 2008 year data.
I want to show only 2007 years dates in the prompt for Report1 and 2008 years dates for Report2. That means I want to restrict prompt values based on the fact.
It will be great if someone can suggest on this.
Regards,
SS

Hi, I have a similar problem.
I have two dimensions: time and customer.
The two dimensions are joined into two Fact Table (Order, Forecast).
I created a dashboard prompt with two selections: the first is the Year (time dimension) and the second is the Region (customer dimension) with the option "cosntraint."
When I select a Year, not all Regions are shown, but only those that are present in one of two fact table for the year chosen. Which fact table?
What criteria will limit the values of the Region?
Thanks

WebI showing random value from give prompt value

Dear All,
I have made an universe on top of SAP BW Query.
I have designed webI report on top of that. In that I have "Fiscal Year.Period" as Interval Prompt in WebI not in BW Query and I can't put prompt in BW Query because based on same universe i have other report as well.
I have user cross-tab in Report and in column section I have "Fiscal Year.period".
Now the issue is, when I refresh document, it is asking me to enter From & To Period. I am giving input as example 001.2010 to 012.2010 then it should show me values between 001.2010 to 012.2010 only but instead it is giving me values for 2011, 2007 year as well.
Does anyone have idea why it is happening ?
As per my analysis, during prompt value LOV is by default sorted in Asscending order :
1)V3/001.2010
2)V3/001.2011
etc.
I really appreciate your quick input on this.
Regards,
Rishit

hi ,,
I have tried and understand your scenario....the data thing it having issue with bo .....but resolved by using this notes......
1494404 - Using Webi query filters based on dates using "Greater than" and "Less than" and "between" does not work properly when based on SAP BEx.

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

Can we generate one report tab for each of the prompt values selected in the bobj 4.0 webi report.

can we generate one report tab which filters
with each prompt value selected in bobj 4.0 webi report.

Hi Shrinidhi ,
It can be achievable with static tabs created for each LOV .But this is not recommended because , object values can change dynamically .
It is good idea to use section on prompt object in the report .With sections great feature available is in larger report it’s easy to navigate using map. It displays the section tree.You can select the particular LOV to navigate.

How to parse crystal report query prompt value via url parameters

I am creating a employee detail report in crystal report. The recordset is huge and i have created a parameter prompts in the query and thinking to parse the prompt value via url parameters. Not sure why i still could not make it works.
for example, in my query panel i have created a prompt called "pwwid"
and this is how i parse the prompt value via open document url.
OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=AV8U6HlIq4FBl_MhcBwHqGI&lsSpwwid=12345678
I read the sap documentation, this is how it parse the prompt value via url parameter. but it is not working for me and i am getting prompt to fill in the wwid whenever i run the reports.
any idea why i am not getting this works?

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

Data Selection for report based upon a 'Prompt Value'

I want to report information in my report based upon a 'user input prompt value'
for example:
'Enter Shareholder Selection - A-Active, I-Inactive, B-Both Active and Inactive'
if the user enters 'A', the report selects only active shareholders
if the user enters 'I', the report selects only inactive shareholders
if the user enters 'B' the report selects all shareholders, active and inactive
the field in the database that this based upon is their total share value.
if this field is greater than zero (>0) they are considerd 'active'
if this field is equal to zero (=0) they are considered 'inactive'.
I have tried creating some type of filter, but am not having any luck.
I saw a few examples within the forums that I have tried without any luck....unfortunately most of the examples I've seen are base one only two choices.
I'm sure I need to create some type of 'independant varible' but am not sure how to do that either.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Daryl,
I Tried this unsuccessfully in DESKI . We can't Eliminate Rows having Empty Measure Values or Measure with 0 as values using Table Level Filter as FIlter can't FIlter rows based on Prompt value selection dynamically. Filters filter rows at a time and not based on 3 condition as Active, Inactive and Both. thus filters are of no use.
I Tried this in WEBI, and it is working perfectly you donu2019t have to create any Object in Universe, you can do it using function UserResponse() at report level.
Hence if you are comfortable using WEBI for Generating this report then Follow the steps.
1. Create Report With Name and Shares Object. It will display all Shareholder Names and No.of shares they hold.
2. Use Status Object in Query filter, use condition as u201CEqual Tou201D and Select prompt. It contains Active, Inactive and Both as values.
3. Report will Display all Shareholder names and No. of shares like 45, 789, 0, 4562 where 0 is inactive Shareholder and all other are active shareholder.
4. Create Variable using Formula.
=If(UserResponse("Enter Status:")="Active" And [Shares]>0;[Shares];If(UserResponse("Enter Status:")="Inactive" And [Shares]<=0;[Shares];If(UserResponse("Enter Status:")="Both";[Shares])))
5. Remove Shares Object from the report and Put Variable created with Names of Shareholders.
6. Select Table-> Properties-> Display-> Uncheck the Option u201CShow Rows with Empty Measure Valuesu201D
7. Report will display Value correctly as per your Prompt value selection.
I Hope this Helpsu2026
Thanksu2026

Problem in prompt value assignment in free hand SQL full client report in BO 6.5

Post Author: simarora
CA Forum: Desktop Intelligence Reporting
I automated the generation of reports using the perl, XML and java servlet. A perl script is invoked by a batch file , URL of BCA scheduler and name of XML file are passed as parameters to perl script. This perl script invokes a java servlet which reads the parameters from XML and pass them to BCA. BCA generates the reports and save the external formats to a specified location.
Two of the reports that are free hand SQL reports fail to generate saying that prompt value assignment failed. Not, sure whether it is due to free hand SQL / shared conenction or something else. I have tried assigning date prompt values in different formats and even in the same format that is set in report SQLs, but it always fails.
NOTE: When generated through BO, these free hand SQL reports got generated successfully without any issues and other reports that are based on Universe get generated by this automation / API without any issues.

Hi David, this is a difficult taks to answer all these questions in a forum. I suggest if you have valid SAP support you log a case for each issue and BO support will assist.

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 :

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.

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

Insert prompt value as column in report...

Hello,
We use reports to populate the recipient list of our campaigns (the segmentation wizard does not meet our needs). The source code assigned to each campaign is as follow, 'YYYYQX', with YYYY being the year of the campaign and X being the quarter of the campaign. During the creation of the report, the year of the campaign is specified by the user through a prompt. The same applies to the quarter. I am trying to build the report in such a way that the data can be downloaded as a .csv file and reimported directly into Siebel, without manual editing, to populate the recipient list for the campaign. This means that I would need to extract values provided by the user through the prompt to automatically populate the source code column in my report. For instance, if the user picked year 2008 and quarter 3 as prompt values, the source code column should be "2008Q3" for each record included in the report.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
JP

Thom,
Thanks for the quick answer! This helps me with the formatting part of the problem. The part which still remains to be answered is how to obtain the value specified by the user as a prompt. I use a prompt with a "less than" condition on the field which records when our contacts gave their consent to be entered into our system (we refer to it as consent date). I also use a prompt to filter contacts based on the quarter of the consent date.
For illustration purposes, if the user runs the report for the 2008 Q1 campaign (i.e. prompt for year set to 2008, and prompt for quarter set to 1), the report will include all contacts who were entered in the system during Q1 of year 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005 and so on. In this specific instance, I would like to see "2008Q1" as a constant column labeled "source code" since it will be the corresponding source code for the campaign in which we will later on import the output of the report to create the recipient list. Right now, the only way I can think of getting the information to populate the "source code" column is to obtain data directly from the prompt, if at all possible. If not, any other way to get there would be great.
I hope this makes sense!
Thanks,
JP

Save Prompt Value on report closing

Hi,
we are facing a problem with some users.
They are not (and must not be) allowed to modify reports in a public folder.
They are only allowed to refresh the reports, updating some prompts value.
We wish to let them save the new inserted prompt's value automatically every time they close the reports.
Is it possible, without giving them the rights for modifying reports and not force them to click on save button?
Thanks in advance.
Lorenzo

A workaround is to grant the users the "Edit objects" right in the public folder the reports reside in but then deny all editor functionalities under Applications->Web Intelligence->Advanced rights. Please keep in mind that this way the users will NOT be able to really edit any web intelligence reports (regardless of the folder the report resides in)

Stratos
