Setting Presentation Variable with a Calendar Control

I have a situation where I need to create a dashboard prompt on a Date field that allows the user to select a start and end date. Part of this requirement also requires that I capture those two values in two presentation variables - but I can't seem to figure out how to set a presentation variable in a dashboard prompt while still using the Calendar control for the date selection.
I can't use a drop down list or anything else besides the Calendar pop up - Does anyone know how to go about setting a presentation variable while still allowing the end user to select dates via the Calendar control pop up?

Hi
in dashboard prompt, select control as calendar control but not drop down
And if you want in between operation with presentation variables.. go through the following link...

Setting Presentation Variable with Multiselect Prompt

I want to know if there is a way to set presentation variables from a multiselect prompt. I want to store all the values that the user has selected from the prompt.
Mrinalini.

I have a report in which I use Oracle analytic functions. But I have to show only subset of all records because of analytic functions. In case of ListBox I use a presentation variable in a FILTER(expr1 USING expr2). How may I do this in case of multiselect prompt? It doesn't support presentation values.

(Bash) How to set a variable with text from a file? [SOLVED]

I'm having a little problem.
I have textfile with a single line of text. What I want to do is set a variable with that line of text. How do I go about doing that?
A simple var="text" wont work in this case, since the text in the file changes with another script of mine.
Thanks in advance.

if you have a file with more than one line but you only want the first line you could use 'head'
VAR=`head -n 1 file`

I want to set a variable with default value and can be changed by the user

hi,
i want to set a variable with default value and can be changed by the user, so i new a variable with setting : customer exit, single value, optional, ready for input.
in my customer exit code, i set a default value, eg. 20070530
when the variable screen popup, it display the default value 20070530, i changed it to 20070529, but it doesn't work , it still display the data in 20070530, how can i solve this problem?
your help is appreciated.

Liu,
As mentioned by Anil, you need to restrict your customerr Exit code to I_STEP = 1.
or.
<u>Open your Variable in change mode, in the Last Page os the Variable Maintenance you can provide default value. Note: you are doing same thing in Customer Exit. In your case no need of Customer Exit.</u>

Issue on presentation variable with calendar control

Hi Gurus,
I have a date control prompt with a presentation variable.
I have a filter condition on Date field(Start Day).
Filter Condition:
Start Day is equal to / is in timestampadd(sql_tsi_day,-1,evaluate('to_date(%1,%2)' as date,'@{sdate}{01/30/2009}','MM/DD/YYYY'))
Here 'sdate' is my presentation variable.
If I keep the date control as drop down or edit box, I am getting the results(basically I am trying to get one day ago counts). When I select a date from calendar control and hit the GO button I am getting the below error.
[nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 12801, message: ORA-12801: error signaled in parallel query server P147 ORA-01843: not a valid month at OCI call OCIStmtExecute
Can you pls. help me on this?

Unable to set presentation variable to prompt default.

i am tying to apply prompt default value as some presentation variable.
as i want to set depending on the value selected by Same prompt.please help me.

Okay, I just tried something that works, but it's a workaround that may or may not work for you depending on the number of values in the column.
Anyway, try this:
1) Create your first prompt and save it to a presentation variable (PV), say prompt1
2) Use the same column and create another dashboard prompt. In this one however, change the "Show" to "SQL Results."
3) Now after the SQL in the window, add WHERE tablename.columnname IN ('@{prompt1}', 'value1','value2', etc...)
Here is the drawback, you have to list the values explicitly (unless someone knows a better way), but this will default the second prompt to the first prompt's selected value while allowing the user the choices of the rest of the column.
Not the prettiest solution, but it does work...

Setting VarChar Variable with String Parameter in Crystal Report Add Command

Setting a VarChar Variable with a String Parameter in a Crystal Report 2008 SP6.3 Add Command is causing an error with a SQL State of 42000. The Error Code depends on which value I select for the parameter. I created the @DateOpt string parameter in the Modify Command window, not in the report. If I comment out line 14 of the SQL the error does not occur.
I have attached the SQL Code and screen shots of the errors. Please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Since your parameter is of type STRING, you need to enclose references to it within the Command inside single quotes.
For example, instead of
SET @BeginDate ={?BeginDate}
use
SET @BeginDate ='{?BeginDate}'

Set systemwide variable with /etc/launchd.conf does not work in 10.10

Hi,
before i upgraded my system, i set in file /etc/launchd.conf some variables. I need this for the Shell, Eclipse and some other tools.
user@osx10-10:~$ cat /etc/launchd.conf
setenv M2_HOME /opt/maven
setenv MAVEN_OPTS "-Xmx2048m -Dmaven.surefire.debug=-Xmx2048m"
user@osx10-10:~$
With Mavericks there was no problem, since Yosemite no Variables are set.
Also when i try to set it manually with launchctl setting xxxxx xxxx, no variable is set.
Does anyone has a workaround for me?
Regards
Joerg

Alex It should work . by the way your PATH variable should be placed in /etc/paths like this :
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/usr/local/bin
/Users/alex/Dev/apache-ant-1.9.2/bin
Note after each line there is a return key
As for environment variables open your ~/.bash_profile and place the.
export ANT_HOME = /Users/alex/Dev/apache-ant-1.9.2
launchctl setenv ANT_HOME $ANT_HOME
export ANT_OPTS = -Xmx512M
launchctl setenv ANT_OPTS $ANT_OPTS
make sure you save and restart all applications that need to read environment variables. I faced the same problem with intelliJ accessing M2_HOME
As a side note : consulting the man pages of launchctl(1)
DEPRECATED AND REMOVED FUNCTIONALITY
     launchctl no longer has an interactive mode, nor does it accept commands from stdin. The
     /etc/launchd.conf file is no longer consulted for subcommands to run during early boot time; this func-
     tionality was removed for security considerations. While it was documented that $HOME/.launchd.conf
     would be consulted prior to setting up a user's session, this functionality was never implemented.
     launchd no longer uses Unix domain sockets for communication, so the LAUNCHD_SOCKET environment vari-
     able is no longer relevant and is not set.
     launchd no longer loads configuration files from the network

How to pass presentation variable with enclosing single quotes

HI All,
As all of you know in 11g, Presentation variable can hold more than one value.So we can pass multiple values to the report through presentation variable.
If we select x,y,z values from prompt drop down,then those values will be stored like x,y,z in the presentation variable.
but I would like to store these values with enclosing single quotes like 'x,y,z'
The reason is I need to pass this variable value as input to BI Publisher sql dataset query where clause.
Please share your Ideas.
Thanks,
Aravind

Reporting Set of Books with different calendar from primary SOB

Hi All,
We are in 11i multi Org.
Our primary SOB is with the calender 'JAN-DEC'.
We have a requirement to create a secondary set of books with a new calendar "APR-MAR" with the same chart of accounts and same functional currency for reporting purposes to our parent company.
I saw multiple documentation on MRC SOB, the calendar in MRC Reporting SOB must be same as Primary SOB.
But, in our case, the currency is same, but the calendar structure has to be different.
I tried to setup 2 new SOB in Test 1. with a different calender but same functional currency 2. same calender but different currency.
When I try to assign them to primary set of books through Assign Reporting Set of Books form, only the 2nd SOB ( same calender but different currency) showed up in the LOV for reporting set of Books.
Can some one shed some light on me to check if it's possible to do so and if yes, then how to setup a new reporting SOB with a different calendar than Primary SOB?
Thanks
Radhika

As far as i know,
If you want different calendar then you should use Secondary Ledger [Not sure if it is available in 11i but this concept is there in R12]
If you only need multiple currencies to support your reporting requirements, use reporting currencies with a primary ledger
Your testing proves the same as well.

Srini

Setting Multi Variables with Multi SQL Queries: Performance Bottleneck?

Hello ODI Experts,
I have created a Logical & Physical Schema and Source Data Store to pick data from DB Table. Now I am setting variables with simple SELECT Query for setting each variable (in its Refreshing tab>Select Query field).
It gives me a less optimized approach picking one column per query (per variable). Lets say, I have to pick 35 columns from a table and put those in 35 variables...It would mean running 35 queries for fetching one record from the database table.
Doesn't it seem less performance effective (less optimized)..a little scary..or ODI does it with some internal optimized technique?
Any thing better or a different approach that I can do to make variable setting more optimized?
Please guide.
Thanks & Regards,
Ahsan Asghar

Hi GottaLoveSQL,
According to your description, you want to improve the performance of report with subreports. Right?
In Reporting Services, the usage of subreport will impact the report performance, because the report server processes each instance of a subreport as a separate report. So the best way is avoid using subreport by using LookUp , MultiLookUp , LookUpSet, which
will bridge different data sources. In this scenario, we suggest you cache the report with subreport. We can create a cache refresh plan for the report in Report Manager. Please refer to the link below:

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Analysis prompt vs. dashboard prompt for setting presentation variable

I have a requirement to include a prompt on the analysis (not dashboard) to select a year. This sets a variable when is then used in Report A. I then use the variable for a column filter, which passes 3 parameters to Report B.
If doing this using a dashboard prompt, everything works as expected. The variable and other row items are used in Report A and passed to the Report B via a Navigate to BI Content Action Link. When using the analysis prompt to set the presentation variable Report A works but then I get this error when navigating to Report B.
An invalid object was accessed during evaluation.
