Setting up the months based on prompts.

Hi All,
My requirement is that I am selecting the calender year(2009) and calender month(8) in the prompts I should be able to retrieve the previous month and previous to previous month in the per_name_month fashion that is (2009 /07) which I have to use in the pivot table.
What are the ways to do it?

I think I figured out whats going on. I think maybe I confused the two types of node managers. It appears to me that the way the script based one works is that you give it a command and then it uses a SSH shell connection to issue the command. Here is my case, I am on Solaris 10 and I have servers running on ports in the privileged range. I ran the test in the manual and it will not startup. The command works, but I am being stopped by the OS. How do you modify the script node manager to run as root over SSH when you need to sudo? I would normally consider setting up sudo to run without a password only for the weblogic server startup commands. However, I know in a production system the security folks would never permit this. Right now I can stop servers but I cannot start them remotely without manually SSHing in and using sudo to start the managed servers.

Setting up the Script Based Node Manager

I noticed that someone has already asked this question from the Java side but I was wondering about the process for the node manager used for Solaris. I have been through the process in the documentation but I have yet to complete the dots to get a working nodemanager. The node manager starts up but then the admin console is unable to start down servers. I can shut a managed server down but I cannot bring it back up unless I physically (well virtually) log into each WLS and start them from the command line as root (yes, I have some servers running in privileged port ranges). I got it so when it starts, the servers switch users from root to my weblogic user. I just cant figure out the rest of the configuration.
Any feedback here?
Here is what I do:
1. Installed Weblogic and configured my domain.
2. I setup my SSL Trusts between boxes.
3. Set the weblogic nodemanger password and port.
4. Configured the nodemanager for each managed server in the console (I am totally unsure if I did this right or not).
5. Ran NMEnroll on all of my wls machines including the AdminServer.
6. Started the NodeManger on all machines.
7. Tested and was unable to control any of the managed servers from the console from a shutdown state.

Hi All,
I have a requirement to hide the section based on selection of the prompt . My scenario is like i have 1 dimension table and 10 fact table joined to that dimension table. each fact table is having one code of the dimension table.
I have 10 different reports in 10 fact tables. i have defined a prompt on the dimension table , if i wil select a particular code in the prompt then it will show me that particular fact table report .
For that i have done 10 reports and i am showing in 10 different section . Now i want to hide the section based on selection .
If i can put all report in one section and based on selection i can show the report that will be also ok for me ...

Rolling 18months report based on the month prompt.

Hi All,
In one of the requirements in OBIEE, I have to create a report of rolling 18months. Now the challenge is that I will not be taking sysdate in here to calculate the rolling 18 months. I need to take the value of a month prompt on dashboard for calculation and fetch the 18 months rolling data in the report.
E.g: If the user selects Dec-2009 in the month prompt on dashboard, I need to fetch data from July-2008(which is 18 months from Dec-2009) to Dec-2009.
I will be passing the value of the month prompt in a presentation variable in the report, but can I calculate the 18 months prior month on the fly to put in the filter to fetch data? If yes, then how?
I have also created a calculated logical column in the rpd that calculates 18 month earlier date for each date. Now the question arises, how to use filter on this column so that it selects only the month which will be 18 months prior to the selected month prompt on the dashboard so that the data gets fetched for the report?
Thanks in advance,
Sumita

Hi,
Please check out the following blog :
http://shivabizint.wordpress.com/2008/09/19/rolling-months-data-for-year-month-prompt-in-obiee/
Another way I have done it is follows,
On my time dimension, which is at day level, for each given row (day) I derived the rolling period start date and the rolling period end date (which was always previous friday for a given day).
I created a simple report with the following :
Day, Rolling 6mth Start Day, Rolling 12mth Start Day, Rolling 18thmth start day, Rolling End Date.
With day 'is prompted'
In the dashboard reports, you use complex filters to say the day range you are interested in is between 'Rolling X Start date' (6, 12 or 18mth) and Rolling Period End date on the filter query created in the step above.
When the dashboard prompt Go is selected, OBIEE runs the filter query to determine the start and end ranges and these are passed to the dashboard requests to achieve rolling period ranges from a Date prompt. - Im pretty sure you could use a similar method but using a month selector prompt, rather than my day prompt - The theory is the same.
Good luck !

Previous 4 months column need to be displayed based on prompt selection

Hi,
I have prompt named
JAN
FEB
DEC
and i have 12 columns from month1 to month 12(jan to dec)
when i select august from prompt i need to display 4 month previous of august
so my result should be
apr,may,jun,jul and august
if i select february then my result should be
jan and feb
basically i need to hide columns based on prompt selection
can i know how to do this

Hi
I think you have to go for Data level Security in this case.
You have to set that Session variable in the Group/User Permissions tab so that the Group members can see only those regions data only, even if they go for a
search.
Otherwise there is nothing to restrict the user in all the directions.
You have to apply that filter on all the tables in that Subject area.
Hope this will help you.
Guys, Please correct me if I am wrong
thanks

After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop I restarted the computer, but I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a Secret Password. How do I set up the account if the prompt never show up?

Several months ago I installed the Firefox Home app on my iPhone to sync the bookmarks that I had on my Windows XP home computer. It has worked just fine until a few days ago. Just recently I was notified that the app would no longer work because of changes that have been made. I have tried to follow the instructions that were emailed to me regarding how to setup the new Firefox Sync add-on, but I am having a problem. After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop and restarting my computer, I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a password and a secret phrase, as the instructions specify. How do I set up the account if the prompt never shows up?

Click on the Firefox button then select Options to open the Options dialog. Now go to the Sync panel for the option to setup a new account.

Is there a way to hide some reports based on the selected values in prompt.

Hi Experts,
Is there a way to hide some reports based on the selected values in prompt.
For ex. if a year is selected in the prompt then the report should display year wise report.
If a year and half year both are selected in the drop down from prompt section then 2 reports should come.. One for year wise and another for half year wise.Kindly look into this.
Regards
Ashish

Hi,
Use presentation values in prompts for year,half,qtr and month.Example- For year-y is presentation variable in the same way for halfyear-h,qtr-q and month-m.
create four intermediate reports.Example-Report r1 with only year column,r2 with only halfyear column,r3 with qtr column and r4 with month column.
Make column in each report(r1,r2,r3,r4) is equal to their presentation variables(y,h,q,m).
Use four sections.
Section1-Place report that should come when only year.
section2-Place report that should come for year and halfyear.
Section3-Place report that should come for year,halfyear and qtr.
Section4-Place report that should come for year,halfyear,qtr and month.
Apply guided navigation for each section selecting guided navigation-
For section1-
properties->Guided navigation->check this Reference Source Request(Yes)->select report r1(year)->check this Show Section(if request returns row)
In the same way do for remaining section2(select r2),section3(select r3) and section4(select r4)

Setting the filter to restrict the data based on processing period

Hi all,
Hope someone might be able to help me - OBIEE 11.1.1.5 - I have an RPD very simple just two tables (nothing coomplex).
Here is the scenario - after every month end close the user will run the report from the dashboard by selecting the processing period like 20111130 (NOV close) processing period is a varchar(8) in the table, once the user selects the 20111130 i need to get the dataset for the last 12 months which is based on a different field called EMP HIRE DATE (this field includes the data values from 2005 onwards but i only need last 12 months) in this example l need to set the filter so that i only get the data from DEC 2010 - I was able to get this done using the SQL in TOAD against oracle 11 - but i am not sure how to set this as a filter in BI answers/dashboard
The below is my filter in TOAD but not sure how i can accomplish this in OBIEE - PROCESSING_PERIOD is VARCHAR(8) , EMP_HIRE_DT is DATE
EMP_HIRE_DT BETWEEN ADD_MONTHS(TO_DATE(SUBSTR(PROCESSING_PERIOD,1,6),'YYYYMM'),-11) AND LAST_DAY(TO_DATE(SUBSTR(PROCESSING_PERIOD,1,6),'YYYYMM'))
i really appreciate any help

Thanks.
I also found that what was happening is that the state was being correctly set, but the List was overriding the state with its built in selected and hovered state. The renderer would have a stepper, but as soon as the mouse moved over it it would change state. I even tried deleting all the states in the states array except "normal" and "stepper" , but it would still change out of "stepper".
Also, the buttons on the item renderer would also cause the item renderer to change states when their states changed.
So, for this case, to get it done I changed from a states model to a visibility model, and that works fine:
// if a recipe is a cocktail, switch state to display numeric stepper
if (XML(data).@course == "cocktails") {
     stepperGroup.visible = true;
     stepperGroup.includeInLayout = true;
     doubleItGroup.visible = false;
     doubleItGroup.includeInLayout = false;
} else {
     stepperGroup.visible = false;
     stepperGroup.includeInLayout = false;
     doubleItGroup.visible = true;
     doubleItGroup.includeInLayout = true;

Showing last n months data based on prompt

Anyway to set an event for the fifth Monday of the month?

I have an event that happens rarely. Is there anyway to set an event for the fifth Monday of the month?

Hi Kevin,
This should be similar to behaviour in my response to this thread, but iCal seems a bit off on this one. If you attempt to set an event on the 5th Monday iCal adds events to the first Monday on the month after if the month only has four weeks. I'd say this is a bug in iCal.
Try the script below which should add an event to the 5th Monday only to see what I mean:
(Copy blue text into Script Editor (Applications > Applescript > Script Editor) , press Run and follow prompts.)
tell application "iCal"
set myCal to first calendar whose title is (item 1 of (choose from list (title of (every calendar) as list) with prompt "Choose calendar"))
set myName to text returned of (display dialog "What is the event's name?" default answer "5th Monday of month?")
set myStart to my date "Monday, January 30, 2006 10:00:00"
set myEnd to myStart + 1 * hours
make new event at the end of events of myCal with properties {summary:myName, start date:myStart, end date:myEnd, recurrence:"FREQ=MONTHLY;BYDAY=5MO"}
end tell
Best wishes

How to generate a Yearly report based on a calculation at the Month level

Have the need to create a report as follows. Any ideas on how this can be accomplished in OBI is appreciated. I have already tried different ways but non worked for me.
The data is stored in a table at day level as follows:
Day Amount_A Amouont_B
1/1/2008     100     100
1/15/2008     200     100
2/1/2008     100     400
2/15/2008     300     200
1/1/2009     100     300
1/15/2009     100     200
2/1/2009     200     100
2/15/2009     400     300
The report should be displayed at Year level. Amount_A is just the summation of Amount_A from the table at daily level rolled up to the Year level in the Time dimension. The same thing for Amount_B.
The formula for Absolute_Error is Absolute(Amount_A - Amount_B). But the problem is that it has to be calculated at the Month level instead of Day Level. So following is the logic for Absolute_Error:
Month     Amount_A Amount_B     Absolute_Error
Jan-2008     300     200     100
Feb-2008     400     600     200
Jan-2009     200     500     300
Feb-2009     600     400     200
The report should be displayed as follows:
Year Amount_A Amount_B     Absolute_Error
2008     700     800     300
2009     800     900     500
Note that the calculation of Absolute_Error results in a different value if it is calculated at the Month level and summed up to Year than if it were calculated at the Day level and then summed up to Year. It is required to be based on Month level for this report.
Is there a way to do this without having to build an aggregated fact table at the Month level?

Hi.
Do this:
1. Create Amount_A and Amount_B in BMM without SUM as default aggregation rule.
2. Now, just go to Answers and make report with three columns:
YEAR -- EXPRESSION 1 -- EXPRESSION 2
EXPRESSION 1 is:
sum(Amount_A) - sum(Amount_B)
EXPRESSION 2 is:
sum
abs
sum(Amount_A by MONTH)
sum(Amount_B by MONTH)
My example in Answers:
TIMES.CALENDAR_YEAR
sum(SALES.QUANTITY_SOLD_NORMAL) - sum(SALES.AMOUNT_SOLD_NORMAL)
sum( abs(sum(SALES.QUANTITY_SOLD_NORMAL by TIMES.CALENDAR_MONTH_DESC) - sum(SALES.AMOUNT_SOLD_NORMAL by TIMES.CALENDAR_MONTH_DESC) ) )
This will first summarize amount A and amount B on a month level and then do a difference, after that ABS and then sum on the year level.
This is workaround to avoid larger RPD changes.

How to add a new metadata field to iPhoto where new field is calculated as age in years and month based on a specific date and the date photo was taken ? I want to calculate and display the age of my two kids on every photo.

Hi
How can I add 2 new metadata-fields to every photo in iPhoto ?
The new fields should state the age of my kids in years and months based on the date that they were born and the date that photo is taken.
Exampel:
My son is born 01.01.2010
My daughter is born 01.01.2012
Photo taken by data
Aage of son
Aage of daughter
01.07.2011
1 year 6 month
not born yet
01.01.2014
4 year 0 month
2 year 0 month
I would like to be able to search by kids age and get the info displayed when doing slideshows.
How to do this in iPhoto ?
Any alternatives to accomplish the same ?
Kind regards

It can't be done with iPhoto. There are some DAM (digital asset management) applications that can write to other IPTC fields that iPhoto can't read. One such app is Media Pro 1.
However you would have to calculate the age for each date and add it to one of the fields. There are online age calculators that can do that for you: Age Calculators
If you go thru that much trouble then use iPhoto, make the calculations and add the age to the Description field. Then you can use Smart Albums to search for 1year 6 month text.

Hello SMEvans32
You can use iCloud to share the Calendar, that way she will always be up to date on that particular section of your work calendar. If you want to use iCloud, I would recommend backing up so you have a safe copy of your data.

Hi Vinod
To get the last 13 months in webi report .follow below approach
Assuming you have calendar Month object in the report.
convert your selected date into M/d/yy format . let's say you selected 12/18/13 , your variable should be 12/1/13
variable :
Selected Month =ToDate(FormatDate(useresponse("Date");"Mmm yyyy");"Mmm yyyy")
Flag for month =ToDate([CalMonth];"Mmm yyyy")<=[Selected Month]
Report filter =[Flag for month]+Previous(Self)
select the table you want to filter
add filter -> Report filter between 1 to 13.
Hope this will help.
