Resetting Selection from a Multi-Select Dashboard Prompt in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I have a dashboard prompt, containing 3 columns which all are set to allow multi selection and default value is all values.
In 10g, after choosing some values in one of the prompt and clicking Go button, I can manually remove all my selection to reset it back to the default value (which is all values).
In 11g, however, I am not able to find how to do it. The reset button doesn't reset back to the default value (which is all values). So what I have to do is to use the "Clear All Customization", which will clear all my selection for all the prompts.
Any suggestion on how to do this? Thanks in advance!

Hi Deepak, actually I don't need any script to do that in 10g.
It's a built in feature in 10g. If you remember, for multiselect prompt in 10, we will click the "..." button to show the box for value selection. Then we can move values from left box to the right to include them, or vice versa to not include them. So by moving the values from right box to the left, I essentially revert to default value which mean all values will be shown.
In 11g, this box is not shown anymore, instead we are checking the values one by one from a drop down list.
Any suggestion? Thanks.

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

Dashboard Prompts in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I had a requirement:
In my dashboard page , prompts are YEAR , QUARTER , MONTH , PRODUCT NAME , ORDER NAME .
Now when i select YEAR = 2010 , then Quarter should display values related to 2010 .
If i select Quarter = 2010 Q1 then month should display only related values.
which is like creating dependency between the dashboard prompts.
Can some one please help me in this issue .

In your dashboard prompt properties you need to tick the 'Constrain' box for all the columns that you want be constrained by the other choices, e.g Year, Quarter, Month.
Only tick Product Name / Order Name if you want these to be constrained also but bear in mind it could cause a performance delay if you are having to join tables to get the constrain.
Hope this helps,
Regards

How to create a group of contact from a multi-selection of mails in a mailbox to answer to all senders?

How to create a group of contact from a multi-selection of mails in a mailbox to answer to all senders?

Use Mail Scripts. Its Add Addresses function will collect all the addresses from all selected messages and allow you to select the ones you want to add and allow you to create groups as you go.

Selected value in single-select lookup form tag becomes first value selected in a multi-select lookup on the AddForm

I use the same List to populate Lookups, one single select and one multi-select.
The multi select is for selected depts that are participating in a project.
Only one dept will be the respondering dept, this is the single select.
The respondering dept must always be part of the depts participating.
So if we pick the respondering dept, it becomes the first selection of the participating depts lookup.
I'd like this to be done by SPServices.
Its not really cascading selects because we don't limit the possible selections in the multi-select...we want them all available.
thx for your help

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to set the first selection of the participating depts lookup.
First, you need to get the single select column value.
Then you need to sort the the multi-select dropdown list.
When you click the dropdown icon, a HTML Table will be appeared.
You can use JQuery to sort the Table.

Which is fast ? Select * from tableName or Select Column1,Column2 .... From tableName ? and Why ?

Which is fast ? Select * from tableName or Select Column1,Column2 .... From tableName ? and Why ?
select * from Sales.[SalesOrderHeader]
select SalesOrderNumber,RevisionNumber,rowguid from Sales.[SalesOrderHeader]
As you can see both the query execution plan and subtree cost is same. So how selecting the particular columns optimize the query ?

Yes, selecting specific columns is always better than select *.
If you always need few columns in result, then just use SELECT col1, col2 FROM YourTable. If you SELECT * FROM YourTable; that is extra useless overhead.
If in future if someone adds Image/BLOB/Text type columns in your table, using SELECT * will worsen the performace for sure.
Let's say if you have SP and you use INSERT INTO DestTable SELECT * FROM TABLE which runs fine BUT again if someone adds few more columns then your SP will fail saying provided columns don't match.

Cascade dashboard prompts in OBIEE 10.1.3.4

Hi,
Is there any concept of Cascade dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
I have a requirement as described below -
Start date and End date dashboard prompts. (Calendar) - Results of Start Date and End Date selected are captured in the Presentation Variables Startdt, Enddt respectively.
Promotions dashboard prompt (multi select) - This Prompt should show the results from the SQL Query -
SELECT "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."National Promotion" FROM "SPDM" where "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."NP Status"='Active' and "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."NP Region"='Canada' and "- National Promotion - Canadian Market"."NP Type"='National' and "- Calendar".Date BETWEEN DATE '@{Startdt}{06/28/2010}' AND DATE '@{Enddt}{12/31/2010}'
But the results are not populating in the Promotions Prompt. Can anyone help me in fixing this.
Thanks in advance.

Sri

Hi
This is a known OBIEE bug.
Please refer http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/presentation_variable_initialization
With a Multi Select dashboard prompt
You cannot set a Presentation Variable in a Multi Select dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10g. This is expected behavior. OBIEE 10g is working as designed. A Presentation variable can assume a single value. Because of that, presentation variables are not available when using multi select prompts. OBIEE 11g will introduce the ability to set Presentation Variables when using multi select prompts. In 10g you can try as a workaround using more than 1 prompt.
I don't more work arounds than listed here:
http://obiee-blog.info/answers/multiselect-prompt-presentation-variable/
But, these work arounds might not suffice your issue.
Please let me know if you come up with a better solution.
Good Luck.

Hierarchy Prompts in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I have an Issue with Implementing Hierarchy Prompts in OBIEE 11g. I understand that Filters on Hierarchy Prompts can be applied in Selection steps and cannot be viewed in the Physical Query as such. However, what happens is, the Hierarchy prompt only gets applied when the hierarchy is displayed in the report.It is not applied even when it is present in the excluded section. So, it works only when it is displayed in the report. Is this correct? Is there any workaround for this?
Any help on this would be much appreciated
Regards,
Venkatesh
Edited by: obiapps on May 30, 2012 7:42 PM

If the column set to prompt no matters what (column is present,or not, excluded or hidden) the prompt should work.
Check it again something might gone wrong.
If it is helpful, please mark as correct or helpful

SSRS 2012: How to get a "Select All" that returns NULL instead of an actual list of all values from a multi-select parameter?

I have a multi-select parameter that can have a list of thousands of entries. In general, the user will pick a few entries from the list or "Select All". If they check "Select All", I would much prefer that I get a NULL or an empty string
instead of a list of all values. Is there any way to do that?
In experimenting with a work-around, I tried putting an "All" label with a null value in the list, but it is ignored (does not display in the drop-down). If I use an empty string for the value, my "All" entry does get displayed, but so
does "Select All", which is confusing. Is there a way to suppress "Select All"?
- Mark

I adapted the following from a workaround posted by JNeo on 4/16/2010 at 11:14 AM at
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/249227/multi-value-select-all-parameter-in-reporting-services
To get a null value instead of the full list of all values when "Select All" is chosen:
1) Add a multi-value parameter "MyParam" that lists the values to choose.
2) Add a DataSet "ParamCount" identical to the one used by "MyParam", except that it returns a single column named [Count] that is a COUNT(*) of the same data
3) Add a parameter "MyParamCount", set it to hidden and internal, then set the default value to 'Get values from a query', choosing "ParamCount" for the Dataset and the one [Count] column for the Value field.
4) Change the parameter for the main report DataSet so that instead of using [@MyParam], it uses this expression:
=IIF(Parameters!MyParam.Count =
Parameters!ParamCount.Value, Nothing, Join(Parameters!MyParam.Value, ","))

Values from a Multi-Select in the where clause of a Select statement

I have a web page that solicits query parameters from the user.
The selections that the user makes will populate the WHERE clause of a Select statement.
One of the controls on the page is a multi-select control.
When this page posts, I would like to execute a Select statement wherein the selected values from this control appear in the .. Column IN ( <list here> ) portion of the WHERE clause.
This is an extremely common scenario, but I cannot seem to locate a how-to or message thread that addresses this specific case.
I have an idea that it may involve dynamic SQL or Execute Immediate, but cannot seem to pin down the answer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Selecting Multiple dimensions without using Dashboard Prompt

Hi All,
We have and requirement where we need to given an option to users where they should be able to select dimensions values to check set of reports in dashboard based on these selected values.
As we know one way is to have dashboard prompt and all the reports which we need to analyze under this, but in dashboard prompt if we more values selected values will take more time.
Instead we want in one page all the dimension values will be there and we need some thing like check box option in front of dimension values and based on the dimension values selection, we need to analyze reports available in another dashboard page.
Thanks in advance.

Som

Thanks John for your reply.
I'm not sure this is going to help me, may be my question is little bit confusing. Let me explain with some example.
Lets us consider a dashboard page where we have All US States as global filter. Suppose by default global filter will have All values but now every time we want to analyze by selected states now to perform this we need to edit global filter and add States by which we want to analyze.
By this option we are able to get the result what we want, but problem is that suppose every time we want to analyze by these states only the every time when we login we need to edit global filter again and again. which we don't want to do again and again.
Now my questions are:-
1. Is there a way to save values selected into global filter for future use by which we cab avoid selecting values again and again (one way is that we can add defaults in global filter edit mode but can we do this outside.)
2. Or can we provide in one page just to select the values of analysis like dimensions and next to dimension like check box just to select values and in other pages based of the values selected.

Somu
