Syntax for Evaluate function in OBIEE

Hi
I have browsed through the docs but couldn't find syntax for Evaluate function. Could someone pass me the full syntax and if possible a helpful example against essbase.
Thanks

Hi
definitely
syntax:- EVAULATE('your db function(%1,%2)', parameter list)
here %1 and %2 are the no.of parameters (columns or may constant values) to be passed for the db-function
if you have 3 parameters then you need to use %3 also.. means the columns to be passed.
following exapmples are for ORACLE db,
ex1: EVALUATE('upper(%1)', 'kishore kumar') gives the result as -> KISHORE KUMAR
ex2: EVALUATE('upper(%1)', 'Markets.Region') here Markets.Region is column.
you also can call the user-defined functions through evaulate
EVALUATE('functioname(%1,%2), column1, column2)
the above function has 2 parameters to be inputted
Thanks & Regards

Syntax for EVALUATE function - placing condition in it

Hello All,
I have a formula in discoverer like this
SUM(col1)
OVER(PARTITION BY col2, col3, col4
ORDER BY col5 ASC
RANGE BETWEEN col6-3 AND col6
I need to implement the same in BI,
I have used this to implement the SUM part
EVALUATE( 'SUM(%1) OVER ( PARTITION BY %2,%3,%4) ORDER BY %5)' as double,
col1,
col2,
col3,
col4)
But, couldn't get the syntax for 'RANGE BETWEEN' clause..
i have tried like this
EVALUATE( 'SUM(%1) OVER ( PARTITION BY %2,%3,%4) ORDER BY %5 RANGE BETWEEN %7 AND %6 )' as double,
col1,
col2,
col3,
col4,
col5,
col6,
col7)
Its throwing an error 'ORA-00905: missing keyword at OCI call OCIStmtExecute.'
can anyone please suggest me some ideas to resolve this.
Thanks in advance,
Raghu

Hi Goran,
Thanks for the reply, it was of great help..
Can you once check this please
EVALUATE( 'SUM(%1) OVER ( PARTITION BY %2,%3,%4,%5
ORDER BY %6 RANGE BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW )' AS DOUBLE,
"Global Distributor Sales (by Period)"."Net Sales",
Specialist."Specialist Group Name", Specialist."Specialist Manager Name",
Specialist."Specialist Name", "End Sold-To Customer"."Sold-To Customer
Account Name", "Process Fiscal Period Calendar"."Fiscal Period")
This is giving the running sum of values with in the partition window..
but, can you suggest, how to modify the query, so as to get the values of 'Sales' between
2 fiscal periods back and the current fiscal period..
in the discoverer it is used like this,
SUM(Net Sales SUM)
OVER(PARTITION BY Specialist Group Name,Specialist Manager Name,Specialist Name,"Sold-To Customer Account Name",GPH Segment2
ORDER BY "Fiscal Period (7)" ASC
RANGE BETWEEN NUMTOYMINTERVAL("Fiscal Period Of Year"-1,'MONTH') PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW )
which gives the values between 2 periods back and current period
Thank you,
Raghu

Evaluate function in OBIEE

Hi All,
I tried using Evaluate and Evaluate_Aggr in the column formula of a report.
Evaluate_Aggr() is erroring saying the dimension Work Order is incorrectlly defines logical Table Source Mapping for a dimension of Work Order. If I revoke the implicit fact coniguration on this Subject Area which I have, the report executes as expected. But this implicit configuration is required in my scenario for other reports to work.
Using Evaluate() works perfectly.
Can anyone help me in fixing this?
Shld I add any other configuration in the RPD to resolve this issue?
Thanks

Is there any alternative for Evaluate function

Hi all
Can anybody tell me the alternative for evaluate function. i have to use a SQL Function and execute it from obiee

Agreed with John. You best create a view in the DB or - if you don't have the rights - you can just put this SQL code in the physical layer as a physical table object of table type "Select".
In UDML:
DECLARE TABLE "ABC".."SH"."test" AS "test" UPGRADE ID 1 NOT CACHEABLE NO INTERSECTION
     TABLE TYPE SELECT DATABASE MAP (
           {DefaultMulDB} AS {select a.job_id,
     a.name title,
     flsa.meaning flsa,
     eeo.meaning eeo_category,
     a.attribute1 job_family,
     c.name grade
from per_jobs a,
     (select * from per_valid_grades where sysdate between date_from and nvl(date_to, sysdate + 1)) b,
     (select * from per_grades where sysdate between date_from and nvl(date_to, sysdate + 1)) c,
     (select lookup_code, meaning from hr_lookups where lookup_type like 'US_EXEMPT_NON_EXEMPT') flsa,
     (select lookup_code, meaning from hr_lookups where lookup_type like 'US_EEO1_JOB_CATEGORIES') eeo,

I have to call a function with varchar parameters. parameter are nothing but my table column values.
I've created session variables which holds value from my table column values.
for eg:
EVALUATE('REP1_FIRSTMONTH_F(%1)' AS CHARACTER ( 30 ), VALUEOF (NQ_SESSION."month"))
so whenever i call function using EVALUATE in OBIEE. i hve to pass ' ' (single quotes) for my varchar values. without this , i'm facing error stating :
*State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 59015] The requested column PERIOD0 does not exist in this table. (HY000)*
If i'll give parameter within single quotes in my dashboard prompt. it is working fine, but fails without the quotes.
kindly help me in solving this issue.
Thanks - Vijay
NOTE: parameter are from column values.

Anyone has any input for the above issue??. Please share.

I am on 10.2.0.3.
Listed below is the list of indexes and index columns on one of the tables. Aparantly one of the columns (SYS_NC00220$ ) is in reality a function-based index.
Anybody knows how to get SQL syntax for this index? TIA.

PS0BI_HDR NONUNIQUE BILL_TO_CUST_ID 1
PS0BI_HDR NONUNIQUE BUSINESS_UNIT 2
PS0BI_HDR NONUNIQUE SYS_NC00220$ 3

query user_ind_expressions and look for COLUMN_EXPRESSION.
this will give you expression.

What is the syntax for calling function from class file by jsp

does anyone here knows what is the syntax of how to call a function from java class file by javascript code or any way to call it?
and where should i put the calling function code? because the function is called depend on the user click.
for example
<%=pc.functionName(a,b)%>
for the variable a and b, how can i get the value from html textbox and put it in a and b...
urgent needed...
thx

Jsp's are executed before the Html forms are created and loaded. Dont try to use a java code function calling on a javascript click. You'll have to explicitly redirect it into a servlet where in you can call the function you want.
Well! another way could be using AJAX. That seems to be powerfull enough and it might also serve your purpose.
Hope this helps

Proper syntax for email function including a repeat region

Hey Guys, a fellow ADDT developer and myself ran into a odd challenge recently and was wondering if someone knew a shorter answer.
LET ME BE CLEAR..I’m not looking for a suggestion, we have resolved the problem..we ARE LOOKING FOR PROPER or shortest FORMAT.
(we used a submit redirect to a php page that used the “Send Page Section” and then redirected back..the email looks great)
This may be a mood point since ADDT is going away but, until then, we feel this will be an useful post because quite often you may have multiple products to email from your SQL statement.
With that said. We used the send email function on submit.
1.       Our email content was a HTML content file. Since it was not a php file our repeat region obviously did not work.
2.       We substituted the HTML file for PHP (just for giggles)..no joy
3.       We tried regular content as a string..no joy
We know how to get single rows with the {table.column} format…but we need to list all undetermined number of products/rows.
So how would the string or function re-write look if you needed a repeat region.
EX:
emailContent (“ this” . ‘does’. “work”); regular string
emailContent (“ this” . $var   . “work”); regular string
emailContent (“ this” .   do{ $row; } while( xxx = xxx) . “work”); DOES NOT WORK
emailContent (“ this” .   while( xxx = xxx) { $row; } . “work”);    DOES NOT WORK
I assume the conflict is you can’t have a function like DO or While in the string….but I also can’t use a php include file.
There must be a shorter, cleaner syntax that won’t require an advanced set of arrays or for each???
so how would a nice clean example of repeat region results inside email content, or include file for email contnent, look?
Thanks

David, in theory I agree with you, but to a large degree I am completely changing the logic of my human interface. My existing code pre-processes the raw data and saves the results to disk for any future usage.
It can then rapidly rebuild all pages for the entire Intranet site when your personal view of the data is changed.
After the full creation of all pages, the fixed pages can be viewed using your browser.
When you want to change your view, you run the code which completely rebuilds every Intranet page.
My new software will approach the data differently. My raw data will be stored with no pre-processing. The pre-processing will occur as the user changes dates and the pages will be built individually on demand, one at a time.
The second phase of my Windows Form app will be to create pop-up windows that allow the users to modify the definitions for their custom views of the market.
When a view is changed, the software will be able to pre-process, as needed, the current date’s data and rebuild the current page with any new changes.
I intend to create a Refresh.cpp file. The various segments of the Form’s code will set variable such as date change, view changed, watch list changed, etc. and then call Refresh().
The refresh code will then be able to do the minimum recalculation necessary to rebuild the proper HTML stream.
This is another reason to break up the code into various cpp segments such as: LoadRawData, RecalculateViews, BuildPage, etc.
PS: David, I tried to send you a personal e-mail using your home page link.
Hope that was OK and not against forum rules!

Date Syntax for SUMIFS Function

Converting my accounting from Excel to Numbers. Huge data sets ...
I have a SUMIFS function that works properly using a manually typed date but I cannot figure out how to use the Today() function.
This works: SUMIFS(Amounts, Account, B3, Check Date, B5) where B3 is the code for the specific account and B5 contains <=12/31/2009 - note there are no quotes around the expression.
BUT, I don't want to manually enter the date everyday. I want to use the Today() function for condition. It works if I use Today() in B5 but returns only the totals for today's transactions. I need to be able to use "less than or equal to Today" for the condition but I cannot figure out the syntax.
If we can figure that out, then I want to use "less than or equal to Today PLUS X" where X is a variable I can enter in B7 to look at projected cash flow 7, 14 or 21 days out.
Any help? Thanks

Not surprising, the syntax required to use a reference to a cell in a testr is not described in delivered resources.
Very different from Excel...
Happily, Numbers isn't duplicating Excel behaviour. A world with a single kind of spreadsheet would be really annoying

Syntax for nested function/procedure?

Hi,
What's the syntax to create a sub function/procedure in another function/procedure? Is this available in 9i?
Thanks.

Nested functions and procedures have been available since at least 7.3. However, any nested functions or procedures need to be the last things in your declare section.
This works:

3     FUNCTION nested_function RETURN VARCHAR2 IS

Which is correct Syntax for IN function in SQL expressions filters?

Hi,
I want to build a report which looks at the last 4 snapshot dates.
I obtained each snapshot date using this filter
Snapshot Date."Snapshot Date" =TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_WEEK,-10, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, ( 7 - dayofweek(current_date) + 2), current_date) ) A
now the second one would be:
Snapshot Date."Snapshot Date" =TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_WEEK,-10, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, ( 6 - dayofweek(current_date) + 2), current_date) ) B
third one
Snapshot Date."Snapshot Date" =TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_WEEK,-10, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, ( 5- dayofweek(current_date) + 2), current_date) ) C
4th one
Snapshot Date."Snapshot Date" =TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_WEEK,-10, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, ( 4 - dayofweek(current_date) + 2), current_date) ) D
to simplify them let's call the filters A, B , C, D
so, my sql expression should be like something like Snapshot Date."Snapshot Date" in 'A', 'B', 'D', 'C'
I have tried to combine the below, with brackets and comma separated, without brackets, with single quotes and without, but I always get a syntax error.
Snapshot Date."Snapshot Date" in TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_WEEK,-10, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, ( 7 - dayofweek(current_date) + 2), current_date) ) ,
TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_WEEK,-10, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, ( 6 - dayofweek(current_date) + 2), current_date) ) ,
TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_WEEK,-10, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, ( 5 - dayofweek(current_date) + 2), current_date) ) ,
TIMESTAMPADD( SQL_TSI_WEEK,-10, TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, ( 4 - dayofweek(current_date) + 2), current_date) )
It doesn't seem to like the IN function either.
Any idea?

Take each of these filters and union them in your answers report.
This way, you filter down to exactly the last 4 days.

case when me607.rmc_code
in ('1','2') then 'H252'
