Reg Filter View in Combined Request OBIEE11g

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to show the filter view in a combined request. Currently we have achieved the same but putting another request but the issue when the download of the request happens the filter view is not downloaded and it has to be downloaded separately. We are using OBIEE11g(11.1.1.6.9).
Please advise if there is any workaround to achieve this functionality so that download of results and filter view can be achieved in one shot. Thanks.

Dev,
Not possible to use the filter view in union request.Try creating the filters with filter view as a separate request and add them to the dashboard.

Filter view for combined request

Hello!
We have 12 requests combined to the single Answer's request using UNION. Each of these 12 requests has a filter. But when we try to display the filter view for the combined request, it says "Request contains no filters". Any ideas how to display the big "combined" filter?
Thank you!

I am assuming that the columns in each of your 12 individual queries are the same and you just have different combinations of filters to produce your final query. If so, try building this using one query and using the OR operand for each set of criteria that corresponds to the 12 different sets of filters. This way the filters will show up in Filter View.
If the columns in the 12 queries are simply the same datatype (minimum requirement), but different, then how would the user know which filter set corresponds to which set of columns since the "final" query will have one name for each column? It would be confusing at best. The only thing I can think of is having 13 queries, 12 individual ones and the one "combined query."
In your dashboard, display the "combined query" in the Compound Layout view in the usual manner. Underneath that query in the design mode of your dashboard. Add the 12 individual queries but only display the "Filter View" of each query.
With just the combined query, nothing will display in Filter View as you surmised.

Reg Sorting in Combined Request in OBIEE11g

Currently we are facing a problem in OBIEEE11g Combined Request where sorting is not happening on any column at all. Please note that sorting should be dynamic on which column the user selects based on the column property available. Sorting works for normal request but not for combined request.
Please advise if there is any way or workaround to resolve this issue. Thanks.
Edited by: user11008583 on Mar 25, 2013 12:46 AM

Thanks for your response. We have a requirement where the Column Sorting should happen on any column based on what user selects from UI. This is working for a normal request but not for Combined Request in 11g. Please provide your valuable inputs to resolve this issue.

Use of Filter in Direct Database Request for Custom Navigation

Because of union and other complex sql code I am using Direct Database Request. (DDR) In 1st request based on DDR containing column Region, I need to do Region column value navigation to the Target report. The Target report is also based on DDR and has column Region.
For 1st Report Region Column Value Navigation to work
1. I did activate value interaction in 1st Report for Region column and set Target to Report 2.
2. In 2nd Report, I have to use Filter and make region column "Is Prompted". But in DDR the filter is not available. How do I solve this problem?

by using Direct database request your bypassing all the wanderful metadata you built in the BMM layer, as such much functionality is not available.
If you really need to use such complex SQL, I would suggest creating an inline view in the phyiscal layer and at least model this through your BMM either as a flat data source (ie include the dimension columns and model the same inline view into your BMM star)
If you do that, the BI Server will know what other logical columns this data source can relate you and you should find the navigation works as expected.
If you dont fancy that good practice, have a look at creating GOURL formulas as the column fx's, format as HTML to present the data as a hyperlink and manually pass all the parameters to the 2nd report.
I'd do the first option, its more inline with intended use.
What cant you do using the 'normal modelling / answers techniqes with union (see combined request in answers) and complex sql (evaluate function in RPD)??

Session Variable in filter view error

Hello,
My prompt is defaulted to current 12Weeks. I used session variable in the prompt to capture 12 Weeks (Current Week and Current+12).
so the default value is @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.PERIOD_STDATE']} where PERIOD_STDATE is my session varible.
I am using a filter view to display the filters being applied.
When the user opens a tab, the filter view is throwing error
***The syntax of the expression to be evaluated is invalid.***
***Expression: @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.PERIOD_STDATE']}***
My report is running fine. I just have the date column as prompted in my report request.
When the user hits go button on the prompt then the filter view comes up just fine.
What is that I am doing wrong? Why does the filter view gives result after hitting GO button?
Please help.
thanks,
deep

Hi,
1. Set the default using logical SQL. Select <presentation table>.<presentation column> from <subject area> where <presentation table>.<presentationation column> =valueof(NQ_SESSION.<session variable>)
2. You dont have to write the exact syntax for entering the session variable in the default values. You just need to use the session variable name after selecting the session variable type in the drop down.
Hope this helped/ answered.

How to change the display name in the filter view

Hi,
I have one column "*Year*" and type in case when 1=2 then "product_d"."name" else "calendar_d"."year" end.
I add a filter view for it. but when I select, like 2010, it will display"case when 1=2 then "product_d"."name" else "calendar_d"."year" end" is equal to 2010.
So how can I change it to "Year is equal to 2010"?
Any one have any idea about this?
Regards,
Anne

Hi David,
About your confuse about"case when 1=2 then "product_d"."name" else "calendar_d"."year" end".
You can try in your locale.
You will find they are different.
BASED ON THAT you have two table product_d and calendar_d AND they are related by one Fact table.
THEN When you type in
"case when 1=2 then "product_d"."name" else "calendar_d"."year" end"
AND
"calendar_d"."year",
IT WILL SHOW U TWO different RESULTS.
I need to show year which its related product is not null. but I cannot use SHOW->SQL RESULTS->TYPE SOME "WHERE..." because I also need to use "constrain"..
That why I choose to use a case when function..
So, do you have any idea about this?
Regards,
AnneWhy not use two filters in your request? Have something like this:
product_d.name IS NOT NULL
AND
calendar.year IS PROMPTED?
...instead of using a CASE statement? This way you can have both filters show the way they should in a meaningful way.

Formatting Filter View

Is there a way to format the Filter View so that it resembles a Report header.
For example -The filter view displays the folowing at present:
Organization Type Name is equal to Manufacturing, Marketing
and Geo is equal to DEFAULT
and Country is equal to US
I would like to change it to something like
Organization Type = Manufacture, Marketing<--------SPACE--------> Geo = DEFAULT
Country = US
Is there a template which I can modify ?
Thanks

Narrative view is the simple and more handy for this request.
Here is how it works:
Assume that your Criteria is as follows
Date, Client, Gross Sales
and you have filters on Date and Client Columns.
Hit results tab and add a new Narrative View.
In the Narrative View, check the Contains HTML Markup box.
In the prefix,
Date =
In the Narrative
@1 <br>
Create another Narrative View as
In the prefix,
Clients =
In the Narrative
@2 <br>
Add these two narrative views to your compound layout.
If you have enough HTML experience, you can customize this view as you want.

Format of Filter view

Hi all,
How to change format of filter view in answers? How to remove border line of filter? I have looked in views.css and format of filter is set as
.FilterFirstTable
.FilterTable
border: solid 1px #CCCCCC;
.FilterCell
font-size: 8pt;
border: 0px;
text-align: left;
padding: 2px 4px;
.FilterValueSpan
font-weight: bold;
.FilterOpCell
font-size: 8pt;
font-weight: bold;
vertical-align: top;
top: -6pt;
padding: 2px 0px 2px 4px;
And problem is that I have border line. But when I log on VMWare on samplesales repository the same format is there. But there is no borderline on filter view.
Thanks

Changing the ini files should change the date format. Have you amended the correct instances of the date format? In dbFeatures there is one for every ODBC connection.
For example in my DBFeatures.INI
[ DATA_SOURCE_FEATURE = ODBC_300 ]
DATE_FORMAT = 'dd-mm-yyyy' ;
     TIME_FORMAT = 'hh:mi:ss' ;
     DATE_TIME_FORMAT = 'dd-mm-yyyy hh:mi:ss' ;
     IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR = '"';Also a file on the presentation side in OracleBI \web\Config called localedefinitions.xml.
Inside that there appears to be defaults for localisations - maybe it is possible to amend your locale in the Administration settings of the dashboard.
However, I haven't tried this sorry.

How to hide filter view calculations in answers in obiee 11g?

Hi,
I have a requirement to hide the "CASE WHEN" statements which are there in the filter view while viewing the report in Dashboard. User dont want to see the calculation part in filter view instead they just want to see the selected dashboard prompt value. For e.g
case when (column name1('column value1' IN '@{Presentation_var}' ) > 0 AND "Table name"."column name2"='column value2') or (column name1('column value1' IN '@{Presentation_var}' ) > 0 AND "Table name"."column name2"='column value2') then "table name"."column name" end
or
case when 2 statement
and
Case when 3 statement
or Case when 4 statement
therefore user wants only the bold text value(table name"."column name) to be displayed only not the calculation at front end.
I can think of Narrative view but how to do that exactly? Please help.
Thanks..

try this, It seemed to have worked for me..
Below was my case statement
(CASE WHEN '@{var_brand}' = 'Value1' and "Compl"."RecTypeId" IN (5,8,9) THEN 1
WHEN '@{var_brand}' = 'Value2' and "Compl"."RecTypeId" IN (11,12,13) THEN 1
ELSE 0 END)=1
I used it as a column in my analysis with the following formula
(CASE WHEN '@{var_brand}' = 'Value1' and "Compl"."RecTypeId" IN (5,8,9) THEN 1
WHEN '@{var_brand}' = 'Value2' and "Compl"."RecTypeId" IN (11,12,13) THEN 1
ELSE 0 END)
and I made a change to the name of the column in the analysis using custom column headings and put it as "Brand"
and now put a filter on this column and filtered it for for the value 1
and my filters view now shows the column Name "Brand" instead of the Case Statement..
See if this process works for you..

Filter view with session variable does not display value properly.

Hi All,
I have a very unique issue and I am not sure if anyone ran into this before.
I have a prompt in my dashboard and a link to a report. The session variable default the value to the current value (term)
when I click the link to the report I get the following value, on the filter view of the report: Term Code Desc is equal to NQ_SESSION.CSA_Analysis_Term
however if I click the go button in the prompt I get the value: Term Code Desc is equal to 2030 (2011 Spring)
does anyone have a solution to this issue
thanks

Can we customize the column name in filter view?

When i select filter view and select an option from the drop down, it shows the name of the column and not the variable set in the prompt.
I want to customize that name so that it does not show the column name,shows the name given by us instead.
Please Help!!!

You can't customize the filter view, play around with the narrative view instead.
