Report templates by prompt values

Hi everyone,
For a report due to sturctural changes in templates for 2010 we created new template 'Test2' and For 2009 year it has 'Test1' . Now the issue here is when we display this report with templates on Dashboard user need to select values in prompt and also the type of template for that year.
Eg: if user selects year value =2010 and then he has to select the template type 'Test2' to get report in excact sturuture.
Is their any way where when a user selects year prompt value as 2010 then template has to change to 'Test2'.
Thanks in advance
Regards

Can't you combine them into one template and use a if condition inside to select?
If that becomes two complicated, you may also consider writing the 2 templates as
sub templates and have a template that includes either one depending on the selected
values. Converting a template to a subtemplate requires you to wrap them in a function
but it shouldn't be too hard. In EBS subtemplates are supported in 10g standalone you need
to store them somewhere accessible by a URL. Standalone 11g will support subtemplates as
well as EBS.

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.

Don't have to run the report for no prompt value

Hi,
The requirement is that I need to create a report which is more of a search report kind of thing. So on the dashboard we need to show only prompts. The users would choose any prompt and run the report.....now the issue is....that when no prompt values is selected and user hit the GO button ..i need to show a message saying "Please select any value" ...how to do that ..
I have already refered kishore's blog on guided navigation to implement this ..but the issue which I am facing is that my intermediate report is taking too much time (almost 10 mins) to come back with values and then my actual report shows the message thorugh No results view ...but i need to load the messsage to the dashboard in not more that 1 mins ...how to do that .....
any help would be much appreciated ....
Thanks
Ronny

Thanks Kishore, but I have already refered your blog and implemented this approach as I have mentioned above, however, the issue is that my intermediate report in which I am using the dummy filter is taking too much time to run ...like 10 mins...so guided navigation doesn't work properly ....I have almost 15 prompts so it is taking time ..is there any other work around ?
Thanks,
Ronny

Report Views Ignoring Prompt Values

Hi:
OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0
I created a dashboard with a prompt region and one report view. The prompt region contains two column prompts, year and product type. The report view contains these two columns, as well. When I change the year prompt, the report view updates. But when I change the product type prompt nothing happens. When I look at the SQL I see the year value in the where clause but nothing for the product type.
I don't understand this behavior. Can anyone offer any advice for how I can get the report view to react to a change in the product type.
Thanks.

There might be a physical column mapping mismatch.Please remove the existing column and add one more time and look at the results and also observe the same with anyother columns which are available in the report.

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)

Can we combine prompt values in Webintelligence Report(Combined Q:Union)

Hi Every One,
I had 4 Queries which are combined queries(Union).When i run the report ,displaying prompt values which are there in first Query.Can't we get combined prompt values when i run the report.I will explain with Scenario.
Eg:
Q1:Product level Country Information
Prompt Values:Country(A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H)
Q2:Component level Country Information
Prompt Values:Country(A,B,C,D,E,F,L)
Q3:Product level Source Information
Prompt Values:Country(A,B,C,D,E)
Q4:Product level Country Information
Prompt Values:Country(A,B,C,D,E,F,M)
When i run the report iam getting prompt values for country as (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H)
Could you help .
Regards,
Swapna.

I'm having trouble understanding your scenario as you explain it.
You are doing a union of the queries?
So create query A, combine queries, union, create query B, etc.
All of them use the same prompt message?
So you either build the condition and reuse the same prompt message or you use a filter from the universe.
In this case it is not possible to specify something different for each of the various subqueries.
So you would have only one prompt answer, being whatever you answered to the prompt.
If you have different prompt messages, you can give different answers, but then you have 4 prompt answers to display.
It would be logical that only the first one is displayed if that is the one you display, you should display all four.
If you just want to display the superset of countries which have been retrieved by the query you can put this information in a separate table block. If you make it a horizontal one, without borders, you should be able to come close to a normal prompt layout.
Good luck,
Marianne

Passing prompt value to a LiveOffice document

Hi all,
I've SAP BW Query as the data source having two prompts of one which is date, and I built a LiveOffice document connecting a WebI report. The prompt values in LiveOffice document are displayed as for ex : comp code : 2000 [0COMPCODE].[2000] and date as 10/0320 [0CALMONTH].[032010]. In case of Comp code I'm passing only 2000 removing the rest of the text and it works fine, but whereas when I modified date prompt in LO document like Comp code its throwing an error while refreshing.
Getdocument Information Exception (Error WIS : 10901). In details I can see that date is being passed 32010 instead of 032010 even though I tried to change the format of that particular cell.
Any solution to this problem ?
Thanks

Hi Fred,
The date format in BEX Query is mmyyyy and I'm trying to pass the same in LO but its going as myyyy, for ex : 032010 is passed as 32010.

Report Template href with column value

I have created a Report template and want to have a field that is a href with link to other page passing column value. I'm having trouble passing the column value. If I hard code the value the href code works. If I try to pass #1# or the column name with # surrounding the link doesn't work. Any ideas would be appreciated.
This works:
<td><img src="/i/edit.gif" border="0" alt="Edit Icon">
</td>
This doesn't:
<td><img src="/i/edit.gif" border="0" alt="Edit Icon">
</td>

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

HI All,
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?

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.

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
Edited by: Kuldip on Feb 21, 2013 6:17 AM

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 :
http://bischool.wordpress.com/category/guided-navigation/
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
Thanks,
