Hi,
Using Saved customization we can.
Select prompt value 1 and apply, then add saved customization
Page option -> Save current customization as 1
like wise create saved customization for all 5 values.
when ever u want to apply saved customized values page options -> apply saved customization ex: 1

OpenDocument issue with blank prompt values

We have implemented optional prompts in XI R2 by joining our prompt objects with an 'Empty' object. When we create openDocument hyperlinks to these reports, passing nothing for the prompt objects worked just fine and the target report did not prompt for any values for these prompts, e.g. if there was a prompt on the report called Country and it was joined with an Empty ("") universe object via an AND, setting the Country prompt in the openDocument as lsSCountry= worked just fine.
In XI 3.1, when these hyperlinks are accessed from the master reports via InfoView, the target report is prompting for all prompts that accept empty (blank) inputs. If the resulting hyperlink shortcut is copied and pasted directly in the browser URL, everything works fine, i.e. target report does not prompt for any of the empty values and the report is displayed correctly.
We even tried using the 'no_value' option for these prompts in the openDocument but since these are universe based prompts that can't be defined as optional, no_value is not allowed.
Anybody facing similar behavior?
Thanks.

Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

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.

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.

Passing prompt value from one report to other using navigation

I have one dashboard with one prompt (Prompt Name: Date) and a report with date column. This date in the prompt defaults to current date by using server variable ‘CURRENT_DATE’. When a user executes this dashboard the report will be executed for current date. Now I configured navigation on a column (MTD) that will take the user to another report. My Requirement is I have to filter the second report with a condition ‘Date<current date’. In the second report I applied a filter Date<valueof(CURRENT_DATE). To my surprise when I navigate from the first report to second report this filter condition Date<valueof(CURRENT_DATE) is replaced by Date=valueof(CURRENT_DATE). I did not under stand why navigating from the first report replacing the filter condition on the second report. If this is the expected functionality, what is the workaround for this?
To summarise my user want to see current date data in the first report and all the data less than current date in the second report. I tried with presentation variables. same thing happening with them as well.
Please let me know if there is any solution for this
Venkat

I mean to say,
fro second report apply filter not as global filters
To apply as inner fitlers...
Go to measures fx in answers
select the code in fx and click on filters options
and select the date from left pane (selection pane)
and write CURRENT_DATE by Converting this filter to SQL (the option is something like this)
see in this way ..
i didn't get time to work on your issue...
So please try this and report back..
Thanks & Regards

Export Dashboard Prompt Values to excel with reports

I have a dashboard prompt. When I export the report, there is no prompt values download with it. Please help.

I dont think we can get that. If you want to see the filters (which are applied using prompt or report level filters) in the spread sheet
Try this:
In Answers->Result tab->Compound Layout->Add View->Filters
Save

Undo drills and view prompt values warning message on a dashboard page

Hi ,
I have created a dashboard with a single page containing two sections. In first section i am having a prompted report for region and a Region Dashboard prompt ,
in second section i am having two prompted reports for region , i mean region dashboard prompt drives all other reports in that page. When ever I select a region from the dashboard prompt i am seeing message on Dashboard page as **"_Undo drills and view prompt values_"**
If any one having the solution let me know in detail,How to overcome this.......

Hello,
This issue is caused by having saved prompt value in the analysis.
Check if there is a staticMemberGroup tag present in your analysis XML (edit the analysis and go to Advanced tab to see the XML). Within the staticMemberGroup element will be your saved value.
How to fix this:
Remove the column from the prompt section of the analysis. You can move it to excluded columns or remove it from the report completely. Purpose of this is to get the analysis refreshed so we get new XML without the saved value.
After the analysis is refreshed you can put the column back to the prompts section and save.
Check the XML again and make sure that staticMemberGroup element is not present.
The important thing here is not to choose any value in your prompt while you are in edit mode before you save the analysis. This is how a static value gets saved in the XML.

Passing a Prompt value to Webi using Xcelsius with OpenDocument

-Operating System: Windows XP
-OS Patch level: Service Pack 3
-Office Version: 2007
-Flash Player version: 10
-Xcelsius Version and Patch Level: Enterprise 2008 with SP2 (version: 5.2.0.0)
-Xcelsius Build number (Help>About Xcelsius): 12,2,0,608
-Business Objects Enterprise version/patch level (if applicable): Edge 3.1
-Issue Description:
I'm trying to open a Webi Document from my Xcelsius dashboard and pass the value for the prompt "Region". Ultimately I want to have this value determined by the drill down from a chart but at the moment I cannot get it to work even by adding the value at the end of the URL. The webi report opens but the user is given the prompt option and asked to select the value, where I want to pass this so it automatically shows the selected region.
The URL I'm currently using is:
http://"servername":8081/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sRefresh=Y&sDocName=Regional_Drilldown&mode=full&nbPrompts=1&lsSRegion=South
I have double checked the report and the prompt is definitely called "Region" and "South" is a valid region.
I would be very grateful for some help.
Many thanks
Robert Peters

Hi Robert
I would take out the reference to the number of prompts to give:
http://"servername":8081/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sRefresh=Y&sDocName=Regional_Drilldown&mode=full&IsSRegion=South
If you copy and paste the url into a browser does it sucessfully find the document?

Problem showing BI Publisher Report in Dashboard with Prompt

Hi,
I've created a BI Publisher report using BI Answer as data source. For getting some xml files for building the rtf Template I've set my filter datas to fixed values.
I've created my dashboard with my BIP report and a query from BI Answer.
All was shown correctly now. Now I've also implemented a prompt setting my filter datas.
The BI Answer part is still shown correctly, but my BIP report shows the following error:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
What's wrong??? Please help ...
Thanks
chrissy

I think I know why it is not working ...
I've 7 BI Answer queries for getting all the required datas for my report.
So I have 7 data sets which I've set to concatenated data-soruce in BI Publisher. Normally parameters and LOVs are disabled, when BI Answer is used for data set, but it isn't anymore when data source is concatenated and so don't use anymore my prompted values ...
How can I use concatenated data source in BIP with prompted values???
If this isn't possible I#m back to one of my other threads ...
BI Answer: Calculation after Total
thanks

How to pass prompt value to columns with formula?

Hello guys
I have a situation:
I have a report with 1 column name 'product' and in this column it has a case statement like 'case when item is ('a','b','c','d') then 'Men' else 'women' end'
Then I have created a dashboard prompt of the exact same column, and I defined the same case statement in the prompt's column formula as the same.. Then I tested the prompt and it is returning only 2 values 'men', 'women'..
However, when putting the prompt and report on the same dashboard, the report is not accepting the prompt values..
Then I set the presentation variable on the prompt and call it 'Product', then in the report I created a filter on 'product' column as equal to presentation variable 'product'--- I tried with and without single quotes.. So the filter itself looks like : case when ...... is equal to / is in @{product}
However, when I then return back to the dashboard, I am getting the error:
State: HY000. Code: 388918336. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27005] Unresolved column: "Product". (HY000)
Could anyone help?
Thanks

Hola
is possible that are you using a BINS agrupation into the Column Formula?
if you form a CASE statement using a Bins agrupation, in the column Formula, this must be disabled to match statements between columns and DB Prompt
if you are using a BINS agrupation to form the CASE statement, you have to delete the bins agrupation in the Column but keep the CASE statement

How to use QAAWS with a prompt to show ALL values

I have to build a dashboard which has two prompts in it
One for Customer and the other one is Project
Customer prompt should let user to select a customer from the list to display dashboard with the selected customer.Also it should allow user to select ALL from the prompt values to display all customers
There is a object defined in the universe for 'ALL' to use in Web Intelligence report. But for dashboard I don't want to use LiveOffice as it is having many issues when refreshing
I am thinking to use QAAWS as my dashboard is not that complex. It shows all details in spread sheets
How to work in this situation with QAAWS..does not it need to create new objects in the universe or modify exisiting 'ALL' object lovs
Please let me know the easiest way to achieve this

Hi,
I think you can achieve in two ways ...
1. In the QaWS, you've Prompt Parameters next to the prompt, choose "Optional Prompt"; When user runs the report if they kept the selection blank, report runs for ALL
2. In the QaWS, in the Prompt choos "Matches Pattern", and in the Xcelsius dashboard pass "%%" to the selection, and in the selection list for the customer dropdown include one additional cell containing ALL text;
Hope it helps,
Saradhi

Opening Dashboard Page in New Window While Passing Prompt Values

Hi,
Currently it is not possible to open a dashboard page in a new window AND have the prompt values from a prior page pass to this page. I see one or the other can be accomplished but not both. Is there a way this can be acheived somehow or is there a workaround for this?

You are correct. The "Link or Image" object does not pass the dashboard prompt values, though it allows the destination dashboard to be opened up in a window.
Here is a workaround.
1) Place the link in a "Guided Nav. Link" object and set the destination dashboard and desired report. With the prompt set up correctly (i.e., dashboard scope, set to PV, destination report column filtered to receive the PV), the destination report will be filtered on the prompt as desired.
2) I noticed (and maybe this is why you wish the "new window"), there is no "return" link on the destination report. To fix this, in the destination dashboard, add a Text object to the dashboard. In the properties, paste the code below and make sure to check off "Contains HTML markup." This will produce a "Return" button on the dashboard.
<input type="button" value="Return" onclick="history.back();">
Now, when the user selects the prompt and clicks on the link, the prompt is passed to your second dashboard. When the user wishes to return, he/she can click on the "Return" button and return to the primary dashboard.
