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)

Display In Between Prompts Value in Report Title

Hi All,
I want to show the in between dashboard prompt value in Report.
So that when user download the report he will come to know the date range.
I have gone through the couple of links but it does not work.
I tries the below one but when ever i am selected the to_date it reset the from date also.
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2009/03/obiee-between-dates-prompt.html
Thanks
Nawneet

I would add one thing to Saichand's solution which I use for the situation you describe. If you create two dashboard prompts one for the "from" date and the other for the "to" date and then modify your filter on the date column to be:
datecolumn >= @{From_Date} AND datecolumn <= @{To_Date}
...then you just need to add two more columns to your report to house the presentation variables. Make these columns the first two so that in your Narrative View you can reference them as "Between @1 and @2"
You don't need another report to place on top of your current one, just add the Narrative View to your existing report.

Passing dynamic prompt value using Report Engine SDK

Hello Experts,
I have created a webi report which contains prompt. Using SDK, I would like to catch the value of prompt which is selected by a user at runtime.
e.g. If prompt contains values year, quarter, month, etc and user has selected value of u2018Quarteru2019 at run time, then I would like to catch that value using Report Engine SDK.
I tried to implement prompt.getCurrentValues(). However that is not working.
Can someone please help me to figure out the way to catch this dynamic prompt value using Report Engine SDK?
Thanks,
John

Where is the prompt values being set, and where are you trying to catch it?
Workflow description is missing here.

Showing prompt value in report - Need Urgent help

Hi All,
I have created a query that has a prompt (it is not the dashboard prompt) that has " in Between" operator. It is on date column. When i am generating report by passing the prompt value the data is coming properly.
I have downloaded the report in excel format and it is coming perfect. But i am not able to provide the data that he has selected in the prompt.
Like on top of page i need to show - The report is genrated for Date1 to Date2.
And then the data.
Thanks in advance for any clue. I am not able to figure out how to do this.
Thanks
Ashok

Hi Ashok,
It seems it's possible, but not with the Filters view... but with Narrative View....
If you have Calendar Date (which contains all dates till today) column in your model, then... if you want to show only the date prompt values on top even though you have all other prompts...
For above mentioned criteria... you can't show only one date using filters view...
Now... go with Narrative View,
In that particular report add Calendar Date column 2 times...
On one column apply Max(date) and on another column apply Min(Date)....
Hide those...
Now note down the positions of these above 2 columns in criteria... say 6 & 7... respectively...
Now you write in narrative view...
Selected Date between @ and @6
So... based on the dates you selected.. the calendar date populate with the values and would hold the max and min i.e. what... selected values of your prompts...
So by using this.. you can only show.. one prompt.... not all the prompts which you have...
May helpful to you when you have .. Calendar Date only... remember ;)
Thanks & Regards

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,

IR OnShutdown Save Prompt

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to get rid of the save prompt in Workspace when closing bqy files?
I've added this on Document Scripts on Shutdown.
ActiveDocument.PromptToSave=false
But it seems not working, any reasons or have I done the wrong scripting?
Thanks in advance for help.

Take a look at the Hyperion Workspace User’s Guide
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/hs_user.pdf
Page 61
There is a setting for prompt for unsaved files.
Individuals can set this on their own and override your setting.
The idea about using folder security as i suggested before is that people will not be able to save back into WorkSpace. They will get an error. They may however be able to save locally to their desktop and be able to perform Offline analysis.

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.

Need to clear last selected prompt values while refreshing webi report

While using ALL within cascading prompts its still showing the last prompt values selected in infoview and not while editing and trying to run webi reports.
Is there any way to clear this?
I have implemented following options to resolve but did not work
1) Delete the .lov files of universe.
2) Delete the contents in data folder by going into storage directory
3) Implemented the non_persistent concept in prompts
Code is as follows for the filter with in universe
@Select(Customised LOV\State) = @Prompt('Select State','A','Customised LOV\State',mono,free,Not_Persistent,,)
or
'ALL' = @Prompt('Select State','A','Customised LOV\State',mono,free,Not_Persistent,,)

Hi,
In Web Intelligence, the Query Filter Condition consists of 3 parts:
- Object on which condition is applied
- Operator (=,<,>,matches pattern, etc)
- Operands (constant, LIst of Values, etc)
You will find a button with a "?" sign which is also called as Prompt properties. When you click on this button, a new window will open and in this you have an option for "Keep last values selected" which is checked by default.
Uncheck this check box --> Click OK. Run the report and save --> Relaunch InfoView to avoid any caching problems.
Hope this works for you

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.

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?
Regards,
KeatAun

Could you try:

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

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.

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
