Row Wise Control position in OBIEE

Hi,
I have report secenario like this , a columne has 3 rows, but each row as a calculation
Column1 Column2
row1 row1
row2 row2
row3 row3 by using union function i am getting columns as rows .In column1 - row1,row2 and row3 has hard code information and column2 row1,row2,row3 has value from tables. Now i need to change the value in column2 row3 dynamically and background color also .How to acheive this Please suggest me in right way.

Accessing Row-Wise Initialization variable in OBIEE Answers 11g

Hi All,
I need to access row-wise initialized session variable in answers fx section, i came to know from following blog
http://carpediemconsulting.wordpress.com/
that i can use VALUELISTOF(NQ_SESSION.ROW-WISE-VAR)) function to get the list of values in answers, but i m getting syntax error in obiee 11.1.1.3
Any work arounds for this. Please help!!
Thanks,
Sreekanth

You can't, it's only intended for use in the RPD initblocks, it's mainly used to restrict data acces:

OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 Row Wise Init for Roles variable

Gurus,
Why is the NQ_SESSION.ROLES ( Row Wise Initialized ) behaving differently when compared to other Row Wise initialized session variables.
I am using EBS Authentication and Authorization for OBIEE, so my authorization query is
SELECT DISTINCT 'ROLES', RESPONSIBILITY_KEY
FROM FND_USER,FND_USER_RESP_GROUPS, FND_RESPONSIBILITY_VL
WHERE FND_USER.user_id=FND_USER_RESP_GROUPS.user_id
AND FND_USER_RESP_GROUPS.RESPONSIBILITY_ID = FND_RESPONSIBILITY_VL.RESPONSIBILITY_ID
AND FND_USER_RESP_GROUPS.RESPONSIBILITY_APPLICATION_ID = FND_RESPONSIBILITY_VL.APPLICATION_ID
AND FND_USER_RESP_GROUPS.START_DATE < SYSDATE
AND (CASE WHEN FND_USER_RESP_GROUPS.END_DATE IS NULL THEN SYSDATE ELSE TO_DATE(FND_USER_RESP_GROUPS.end_Date) END) >= SYSDATE
AND FND_USER.user_name = 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.USER)';
Now I plan to use these Roles( EBS Responsibility name) which I have populated in a DB table against some Cost Center and below is the how I view the data in DB.
ID | PROFIT_CENTER | RESPONSIBILITY
0 | 0 |0
1 | 100 |BI_Fin_Role
2 | 200 |BI_P2P_Role
3 | 300 |BI_Inv_Role
Then my Profit Centers Initialization Block is now
SELECT DISTINCT 'PROFIT_CENTER', PROFIT_CENTER FROM WC_OBIEE_PC_SECURITY WHERE RESPONSIBILITY IN (VALUELISTOF(NQ_SESSION.ROLES))
So User1 has BI_Fin_Role and PC_Security Role so does the User2 has BI_Inv_Role and PC_Security now when User1 logs in they should see only 100 Profit center data and User2 should see only 300.
I have created data filter for that application role (PC_Security) and limiting with "Dim.Profit Center"."Profit Center" = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."PROFIT_CENTER")
However first problem I encounter is there is no value definition for PROFIT_CENTER, snap that means the VALUELISTOF(NQ_SESSION.ROLES) value is not being passed or recognized by whenever BI Server sends that query to DB.
This is confirmed by my query log which says:
[2013-04-29T12:49:06.000+00:00] [OracleBIServerComponent] [TRACE:5] [USER-39] [] [ecid: 11d1def534ea1be0:48033065:13e4213bbd0:-8000-0000000000008dc8] [tid: 47796940] [requestid: fffe0313] [sessionid: fffe0000] [username: ] -------------------- An initialization block named 'PC_Security', on behalf of a Session Variable, issued the following SQL query: [[
SELECT DISTINCT 'PROFIT_CENTER', PROFIT_CENTER FROM WC_OBIEE_PC_SECURITY WHERE RESPONSIBILITY IN (VALUELISTOF(NQ_SESSION.ROLES))
Returned 0 rows. Query status: Successful Completion
So I try to issue the SQL to BI Server thru Issue SQL Directly:
SELECT "Profit Center"."Profit Center" FROM "SLA Details" WHERE "Profit Center"."Profit Center" = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ROLES)
and the query log gives be the below log which blew my mind as its being delimited by ';'
select distinct T1260626.ACCOUNT_SEG3_CODE as c1
from
W_GL_ACCOUNT_D T1260626 /* Dim_W_GL_ACCOUNT_D */
where ( T1260626.ACCOUNT_SEG3_CODE = 'BIAuthor;BIConsumer;PC_Security;BI_Fin_Role;AuthenticatedUser' )
I have other Row Wise Init blocks for HR_ORG which when fired and used in reports give be stings ('1000','2000',...) which is what I was expecting to see in the filter and query here.
Am I doing something wrong here can someone please point me to right direction please.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
VidyaS

This is because the ROLES variable in OBIEE 11g is designed to retrieve the LDAP or DB groups etc.. in form of semicolon delimiters this would be not the same case with other Row Wise init blocks.
Refer to : OBI 11g - LDAP and semicolon-delimited string for Groups [ID 1274964.1]

Does Row Wise Initialised block effects the performance of OBIEE 10.1.3.2.0

Hi,
I am trying to implement the security in my application using row wise initialisation block. Could any one help me with below mentioned doubts:
1) Does it effect the performance of the OBIEE server.
2) Cons with row wise initialisation block used for implementing security which uses Oracle customise function in it. this initialisation block is been created for implementing 2 level security.
Thanks
Savita

Savita,
Answers to your questions are as follows:
*1) Does it effect the performance of the OBIEE server.*
No. This is part of the Oracle BI Repository modeling process for Oracle BI 10g.
*2) Cons with row wise initialisation block used for implementing security which uses Oracle customise function in it. this initialisation block is been created for implementing 2 level security.*
There really aren't any cons. To get the security you are seeking row-wise security in Oracle BI 10g is the route you must take. In addition, this process is used widely in Oracle BI 10g for numbers of consecutive users and total users/groups in an LDAP or security group table ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands with nothing but success. So, don't worry about implementing this as your implementation will be sound by configuring row-wise security.

Regarding Logical level key and row wise initialization

Hi Gurus,
What is the purpose of row wise initialization in external table authentication and when we have to go for row wise initialization.
Why we have to enable logical level key in hierarchy is this only for getting drill down to the next level if we make two columns as logical level key what will happens. If we want to enable a column as a logical level key what are the character sticks that column should satisfy.
Thanks,

1) Row Wise Initialization used to hold multiple values in a variable. Let says SQL gives 4 rows (A,B,C,D) as output. Now I want to hold 4 value in a variable to get this happen we need to go for RowwiseIniziation. If you do not do this at any point in time Variable holds only value A not others. Simply it works as Array.
2) Level keys define the unique elements in each level and provide the context for drill down. You can make two logical columns as logical key but you need to make sure what to be displayed in your hierarchy by selecting DISPLAY. If you make to as separate logical keys and set Display for both you get two columns in the hierarchy

Using row-wise multi-value GROUP system session variable in report filter

The title says it all except I am using 10g OBIEE.
What I want to do is filter on the dynamic system session variable GROUP created in a row-wise initialization block.
The GROUP vriable is being set up correctly and it shows the user dynamically put into the correct groups in Answers.
(Using the admin tool and looking at the user session, only the initial authentication block variables show up.)
But if I want to filter using the value of GROUP it doesn't work.
The obvious way is to choose the filter icon, then choose Add -> Variable -> Session, enter GROUP, and then display results.
It comes back with no rows.
Any idea how to do this? I've tried lots of things but none of them work either producing no rows or an error.
This is the kind of Answers SQL this report is resulting in, which makes sense to me, but produces no rows.
SELECT "Package Virtual Group (Dim)"."Package Virtual Group" saw_0, "Contact (Fact)"."Contacts All Count" saw_1 FROM "Case/Transaction/ABC" WHERE "Package Virtual Group (Dim)"."Package Virtual Group" = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP") ORDER BY saw_0

Errors come from trying things that don't work.
For example, instead of =, using IN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.GROUP) or @{session.GROUP} or lots of other things.
The question is this:
how can I filter a column in Answers using the GROUP session variable which had been initialized in a row-wise initialization block?
I can find no way to do it. Mostly it returns no rows.Hi,
we had a similar requirement, where we have an external name that has project number values. We used row wise initialization to capture all the projects that a user belongs to. Then, we applied the filters at the RPD level, instead of doing it at the report level. From you requirement I see that you are trying to filter the groups based on user login. When a user logs in, he will see the information about the groups that he only belongs to. Correct me if I am wrong here.
Assuming I am right about your requirement, providing the filter that you need apply in RPD.
On all the fact tables are joined to the Package Virtual Group dimension, apply the below filter.
case when 1=1 then (Dim)"."Package Virtual Group" END = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP");
The reason for use of case statement here is, it converts the logical sql to IN Clause, helping us acheive the exact query that we would want.
Please Award points if this helps.
Thanks,

Use row wise session variable in IN CLAUSE

Hi,
I' have a question. Suppose I have a row wise session variable named Users setted in an initialization block with following SQL query:
SELECT 'NAMES', names from NAMES_TABLE where GROUP='Administrators'
Suppose it returns value list 'JOHN, MARIE'.
Can I set another row wise session variable named COUNTRY in initialization block with following SQL query:
SELECT 'COUNTRY', country from COUNTRY_TABLE where names IN (VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.Users))?
so that COUNTRY variable returns for example list 'CANADA','OHIO'?
or OBIEE returns error?
If it's not possible can you give me a solution?
Thanks

Hi,
I've resolved, but now I have another problem.
I have a row-wise session variable called COMPANY_FILTER
In Dashboard Prompt "Show" Section I have following query:
SELECT Country."Company Description" from Prototype where Country."ID" = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.COMPANY_FILTER).
When COMPANY_FILTER has at least one value it works fine. But COMPANY_FILTER can be even empty.
In the latter case query fails.
Now, when COMPANY_FILTER is null I must execute following query:
SELECT Country."Company Description" from Prototype
otherwise when it is filled i must execute following query:
SELECT Country."Company Description" from Prototype where Country."ID" = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.COMPANY_FILTER).
I have tried with CASE WHEN, but i don't know the exact syntax. Can you suggest me a correct query for my goals?
Thanks

Row wise initialized variable in WHERE clause of other initialization block

Hi,
i've following problem.
I've created a initialization block (called A) that initializes a row wise session variable.
Ex: SELECT X,Y from Z
Select statement returns 3 rows (it's a row wise initialization block!!!)
Then i want to create another initialization block that uses in its WHERE cluase the previous row wise variable
Ex: SELECT W,T from R where F = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.A)
I have following error: DB2-UDB: SQL10104 Token ; was not valid, valid tokens: ....
I believe that this error is caused by the fact that VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.A) is translated by OBIEE in IN (a list of values separated by ; and not by ,).
Can you suggest me a solution?
Thanks
Giancarlo
P.S. I'm using OBIEE 10G

You could avoid this by rewriting it as
select w, t
from r
where f in (select y from z where x = 'A')

Row-Wise Session Variable Initialization Block (Max Rows)

Hi, we have a problem with Row-Wise Session Variable.
We'll try to implemented the security with a External Query and a Row-Wise Initialization Block. But when we'll try to open the Web Obiee and the rows of result of the query is more than 3000 rows, the browser is broken. The access is very slowly.
When the result of Query to Row-Wise Variable is more than 3000 rows and we'll try to open the Web Obiee, we have to close NQServer.EXE process of Obiee Server.
Is there a best practise or a limit rows in the Row-Wise Initialization Block?.
Thanks.

You're Right, the people can't be in 3000 groups.
Is possible I don't explain my problem correctly.
We use this Row-Wise Variable for implement Data Level Security. .
For Example :
I have a fact table with Offices and Office's Sales.
And each Obiee User can see many Offices according to their level of security.
I want filter the fact table using a external SQL table implemented in a Session Row-Wise Variable and a User can have X Offices (In the worst case, 3000 Offices).

Row wise total in editable ALV

hello all,
            I am workin on editable alv, the user need to enter the values in the editable fields and in the last column(non-editable) i need to populate the total row wise,as soon as user enters a value and goes to next editable cell or on entering a vale and press enter.how to accomplish this task...
with regards,

Edited by: sandeep akella on Aug 20, 2009 1:58 PM

You need to Implement the OnCellAction event.follow these steps;
1. Goto WDDOMODIFYVIEW and place the following code
IF first_time IS INITIAL.
    DATA lo_cmp_usage TYPE REF TO if_wd_component_usage.
    lo_cmp_usage =   wd_this->wd_cpuse_usg_alv( ).
    IF lo_cmp_usage->has_active_component( ) IS INITIAL.
      lo_cmp_usage->create_component( ).
    ENDIF.
    DATA lo_interfacecontroller TYPE REF TO iwci_salv_wd_table .
    lo_interfacecontroller =   wd_this->wd_cpifc_usg_alv( ).
    DATA lo_value TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_config_table.
    lo_value = lo_interfacecontroller->get_model(
    CALL METHOD lo_value->if_salv_wd_table_settings~set_cell_action_event_enabled
     EXPORTING
        value = abap_true.
ENDIF.
2. Implement the onCellAction event as follows;
    Goto Methods tab, create a new method. Method Type- Event Handler , Event - ON_CELL_ACTION
3. Now in this method retrive the contents of the row and calculate the value as follows.
DATA: l_element TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA:ls_stru TYPE wd_this->element_cn_alv.
DATA: l_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
l_node = wd_context->get_child_node( 'CN_ALV' ).
l_element = l_node->get_element( r_param->index ).
l_element->get_static_attributes( IMPORTING static_attributes = ls_stru ).
ls_stru-last_col = ls_stru-col1+ls_stru-col2....+ ls_stru-col5. " add all the cells data
l_element->set_static_attributes( exporting static_attributes = ls_stru ).

How to display the data in row wise in smartform

Hi,
    I have to make a modification a smartform of poprinting and i want to display the row wise . At present it is displaying the
    column wise. Actually there is a text which i want to display the data row wise.
    It is possible to display the data in row wise of the text .
Edited by: nav009 on Oct 8, 2009 10:39 AM

Hello ,
I assume that your requiremen is related to smartform.the below is the solution i suggest.
As per my understanding of your requirement ,It's clear that as of now there is some description field which is also getting displayed along with other PO fields.
However you would like to display the description field in a new line since the length of this field is longer than other fields as a result the data is getting scattered .
Therefore one better option could be: since the whole data from PO would be in a loop you can display all other fields in one line type of the table as per the intial requirement and you display the description line alone in a new line type wth the desired length so that data would not be scattered and no data loss would happen.
I assume you are aware of creating of line types for table.
Thanks

Use Session Variable with row-wise initialization

Hello,
I use an initialization block in order to load some translations in my repository (version is 11.1.1.6.BP1) :
SQL :
SELECT CODE_KEY, STRING_VALUE FROM "TABLES" WHERE LANGUAGE_KEY= 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.USERLOCALE)'
Values :
CN_INCOMING, Incoming, en
CN_OUTGOING, Outgoing, en
CN_INCOMING, Réception, fr
CN_OUTGOING, Emission, fr
etc ...
I checked the row-wise intialization.
The query is correct and returns the right values (I check in the log file ..).
So far, So good.
But when I want to use session variables in a column expression (in repository) like :
CASE WHEN "column"="xx" THEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."CN_INCOMING") ELSE VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."CN_OUTGOING") END
I got the error: [nQSError: 23006] The session variable, NQ_SESSION.CN_OUTGOING, has no value definition.
If I used the same formula directly in Answers it's working correctly.
Do I have to necessarily do this in answers or is there a way to do this in the repository.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Benjamin

Yes I already tested this point, when I don't use a row wise initialization it's working, but I don't want to create one variable for each translations that I need to use in column formula if you know what I mean.
I don't understand why we can't use this kind of variable in this context ..but if I have to create the column in my analysis, I will do that, but it's not really user friendly
Anyway thanks for your time.
