Unresolved column when using presentation variable in Answers filter

Hi all,
I'm using a dashboard prompt that sets a presentation variable - pres_year. I'm using the presentation variable in a request's filter.
In the 'Criteria' tab, in the filter for the request, I set a year column (YEAR) to the presentation variable via Variable Expr and enter the presentation variable name only. End up with:
YEAR is equal to / is in @{pres_year}
When using the dashboard, the prompt and request all work fine. The problem is when I'm in the request in Answers and I click on 'Display Results' button. I get the following error:
'NQSError: 27005 unresolved column pres_year'
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I got same error, if i'm using SQL Expression, instead of variable expression in filter section.
make sure that you followed this:
filter on year > Add > Variable > Presentation. Then, give the presentation variable name (which you defined in dashboard prompt) in Variable Expr field , click OK
getting same error when using:
Filter on year column > Add > SQL Expression > presentation variable. This is not right place to give presentation variable.
and, error i got:
*State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27005]* Unresolved column: "var_Year". (HY000)
so, make sure that you are suing the right one..

Sorting columns dynamically using Presentation Variables

Hi,
I have 4 measures say A,B,C,D , a period dimension and branch name dimension. I would like to select the measure in the prompt and the result should display rank for the selected measure using presentation variables. For eg: If measure-A is selected, the result should be arranged in order by based on "A".
Is it possible to sort the columns dynamically?
Kindly help me.
Regards,
RB

Hi RB,
You can do that, though it's a bit more complicated than a simple SQL statement. For example:
WITH BASEDATA AS (
SELECT
EMPNO,
ENAME,
MGR,
SAL,
COMM,
CASE WHEN :P4_SORT_ORDER = 1 THEN
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY UPPER(ENAME))
WHEN :P4_SORT_ORDER = 2 THEN
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NVL(MIN(UPPER(E2.ENAME)),'-Select-') FROM EMP E2 WHERE E2.EMPNO = EMP.MGR))
WHEN :P4_SORT_ORDER = 3 THEN
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NVL(MIN(UPPER(E2.ENAME)),'-Select-') FROM EMP E2 WHERE E2.EMPNO = EMP.MGR), UPPER(ENAME))
WHEN :P4_SORT_ORDER = 4 THEN
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY UPPER(ENAME) DESC)
WHEN :P4_SORT_ORDER = 5 THEN
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NVL(MIN(UPPER(E2.ENAME)),'-Select-') FROM EMP E2 WHERE E2.EMPNO = EMP.MGR) DESC)
WHEN :P4_SORT_ORDER = 6 THEN
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NVL(MIN(UPPER(E2.ENAME)),'-Select-') FROM EMP E2 WHERE E2.EMPNO = EMP.MGR) DESC, UPPER(ENAME) DESC)
END SORTITEM,
'O' STATUS
FROM
EMP
SELECT
EMPNO,
ENAME,
MGR,
SAL,
COMM
FROM
BASEDATA
ORDER BY
SORTITEMUsing a CASE statement this assigns a ROW_NUMBER to every record based on its ordering within the selected ORDER BY clause. The output is then sorted by this value.

Use presentation variable in date filter

Hi,
I have a Date presentation variable pvEffDt whose value is set in a dashboard prompt. How do I access this variable in a Date between filter? I actually need data for chosen date's previous month (weird, why don't I choose the previous month itself. yeah true, but I want to try something else).
I have tried the following but to no avail - CAST (TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH, -1, cast('@{pvEffDt}[MM/DD/YYYY]' as TIMESTAMP) as DATE)
I get the following error -
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).

Regards,
Vijay.

I had already tried this before and it didn't work either.
Just to point it again, I am defining this In the filter, under More Options->Presentation Variable.
i have also tried doing "Convert this filter to SQL" and passed
("ATTR_FACT_MTHLY"."EFF_DT" IN (ADD_MONTHS(@{pvEffDt}, -1)))
Just to verify the same, I tried
("ATTR_FACT_MTHLY"."EFF_DT" IN (ADD_MONTHS(TO_DATE('31/10/2012', 'DD/MM/YYYY'), -1)))
but even this did not work.
I really don't know how to make it work. I simply need the filter to have the value "Chosen date's previous month".

OBIEE 11g: Use presentation variable in Column Heading

Hi everyone,
I was playing around with sample app dashboards and I saw a dashboard prompt that they converted into a column selector. I liked it and reproduced it in my own sandbox.
I like the results, however, I would also like to change the column heading to clearly reflect which measure was selected. It's pretty clear when you are looking in the dashboard, but once you export the data, it can be confusing which measure was selected.
That is why I would like to use a presentation variable in the column heading section. I tried to do this but it interpreted it as a literal instead of evaluating the statement.
Is there anyway to get a variable in the column heading?
Thanks!
-Joe

Issue in using presentation variable as filter condition in the reports

Hi,
I have an issue in using presentation variable as filter condition in my reports the details are as follows:
Details :
We want to implement the Max and Min variables through Presentation variables only.we do not want to implement it through session variables in this case.
We have two variables MIN and MAX to be used as Presentation Variables,for a column of the report (which is a quantity),so that the user wants to see the data for this column within a particular range.i.e the Min and the Max.This part has been implemented well . The issue is when the user wants to see the full data.In that case we will not pass any values to these two Presentation Variable or in other words we are not restricting the report data so we are not passing any value to the variables,this is when the report is throwing the error. we want to leave this variables blank in that case.but this is giving error.
Please suggest how can I overcome this issue.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Praveen

i think you have to use guided navigation for this. create two reports first is the one you are having currently and second is the one in which remove the presentation variable from the column formula. i.e. the same report with no aggregation applied.
Now create a dummy report and make it return value only when the presentation variable value is not equal to max or min. guide the report to navigate between the first and second report based on the result of the dummy report.

Help to use presentation variables in title view

Hi,
I am trying to use presentation variables in title view and the presntation variable that I have created is for current month date range (04/01/2012-04/30/2012)
When I am using this variable in the title view in the report it is showing me as (04/01/2012,04/30/2012)
IS there any way to get the date range as 04/01/2012-04/30/2012 instead of comma

How to set MULTIPLE repository variables using presentation variables

Hi,
I need to pass multiple values from presentation variable to repository.
A brief about report design :
I have two repository variables - from_dt and to_dt which are defaulted to some values from a database table and are editable by the user.
I display these default date values on the dashboard. Plus there are two dashboard date prompts allowing user to enter a date range different from what is displayed by the from_dt and to_dt. The dates entered by user are assigned to presentation variables pv_from_dt and pv_to_dt.
If user specifies a different date range then these date values are to be passed to a stored procedure which is called from the Connection Pool --> Connection Script Tab --> Execute before query. This procedure will do some calculations and populate a global temporary table before running the report.
Problem :
Now in the presentation server, in the Advanced tab, in the Prefix section, when i try to write something like this:
SET VARIABLE from_dt = '@{pv_from_dt}';
SET VARIABLE to_dt = '@{pv_to_dt}';
I get the foll error :-
Error Codes: YQCO4T56:OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27002] Near <SET>: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012] . (HY000)
I tried all possible permutations and combinations
SET VARIABLE from_dt = '@{pv_from_dt}',SET VARIABLE to_dt = '@{pv_to_dt}'; --- gave same error
SET VARIABLE from_dt = '@{pv_from_dt}' SET VARIABLE to_dt = '@{pv_to_dt}'; -- gave same error
How do we assign values to multiple reporsitory variables... ???
Thanks
Nusrat

Hi,
I wrongly referred to the variables as "repository" variables. Both variables are Session variables. For testing i added a column field in the report with source as the session variable - VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.from_dt). In the Prefix section i assigned a literal value - SET VARIABLE from_dt='01-JAN-2012';
When report is run, the literal value gets displayed.
The idea to update a session variable, from dashboard using presentation variable, i got from the following URL.
Go to http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/category/obi-ee-plus/page/11/
and see the section "Oracle BI EE 10.1.3.3/2 – Updating Session Variables from Dashboards using Presentation Variables"
Thanks

Using Presentation variables..along with case statements..

Hi All.
I have a issue using presentation variable along with CASE statements. My approach is
1) I have a dashboard prompt, which is being set as Presentation variable.
Based on the value selected in prompt, for ex the values of prompt can be 'ABC' and 'DEF'.
I have a calculated column, the calculation goes this way...
The forumal is
CASE WHEN @{Presentation Variable Name} = 'ABC' THEN xxxxxxxxxx ELSE IF @{Presentation Variable Name} = 'DEF' END. It gives error of "no table being referenced"..
Is this is the right approach??
Can i get the values of variable in a column formula, so that a column can have values selected in prompt?
Can anybody pls help me here..
Thanks in advance...

Hi
Thanks for the quick response..
I agree to ur point..
But the requirement is
Based on the value of the prompt I need to switch the calculation in one of the formula area of one column..
If Prompt value is ABC then one kind of calculation in Fx and If the prompt value is DEF then one kind of calculation in the same Fx..
How can I acheive this?
Thanks in advance..

What's disadvantages when using bind variables always in java?

Hello everyone .. Could someone tell me what's the disadvantage when using bind variable in java ? I heard it somecases since before.. Thanks in advance!

99% of the time, you should be using bind variables. If you have columns which are highly skewed, however, you may want to consider using literals (assuming CURSOR_SHARING=EXACT), since that may allow the CBO to make a better decision.
If you have an orders table, for example, you may have a status column that specifies whether the order is complete, in transit, or new. If you've been running for a while, 99% of your orders will be complete, so
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM orders
WHERE status = :1should do a full table scan if you specify 'COMPLETE'. If you passed in 'IN TRANSIT', though, an index scan might be more appropriate. If you want to pass in different values and get different query plans, you need to use literals. 99% of the time, though, you want the same plan, so you want to use bind variables.

How to pass the values to stored proc using presentation variable in OBIEE

Need your help regarding in resolving an issue in OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1
There are 6 reports say ‘A’,’B’,’C’,’D’,’E’,’F’ in the same subject area.
The reports are being configured with prompts using either the repository/presentation variables.
One of the reports say ‘A’ has been configured to pass the values using presentation variables from the prompt in Advanced Tab of the report request to the stored procedure defined in the Execute Before Query section of the connection pool.
After running another report ‘B’ in the same subject area, upon visiting the report ‘A’ view display error is being seen ( Please have a look below screen shot for your reference) .
Speculate the issue is around presentation variables of report ‘A’ getting initialized even before running the report.
Appreciate your earliest advise as this is a prod issue.

Hi Prasad,
I got your note, you should not use Session variable syntax to call presentation variable.
you should use like @{AIC_PROJ_PLAT_SEQ_NO}
One more thing: first test the variable AIC_PROJ_PLAT_SEQ_NO value then try to pass to SP.
Hope this helps

Unable to pass the values to stored proc using presentation variable in OBI

Hi All,
Need your help regarding in resolving an issue in OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1
There is an OBIEE requirement whereby two prompts need to be defined.
1. Textbox prompt
2. Drop-down prompt
The dropdown values should be populated using textbox prompt. So, we have used presentation variable in textbox prompt and passing the same to select query of drop-down.
Until this step, the report works just fine.
Now, the value in both textbox and drop-down needs to be passed to stored proc.
While trying to pass the values by using the presentation variable, the following error comes-up saying
Session variable has no value definition.
Note:Although the corresponding session variable has been set to default value,still the error appears.
Please advise.
Regards,
Prasad

"Session variable has no value definition" I'm assuming typo error and it should be presentation variable.
Set default value for presentation variable that may work

Coercion problem when using Shared Variable

I have a curious coercion problem when using Shared Variables. I want to share the state of a State Machine, which is an enum saved as a control (typedef) called TYPE State (see attached). I create a shared variable called State and define it as a Custom Control, using the just-mentioned typedef. So far, so good. I've attached three simple VIs -- the first one, Init State, simply wires a constant to the input of the Shared Variable to initialize it -- the wired constant is, of course, defined by the typedef. However, the Get State and Set State, meant to wire an indicator (for reading the state) or control (for setting it), develop coercion dots when wired into the Shared Variable. Why? How do I get rid of the dot? [I suppose I could abandon my typedef and custom control, but the beauty of typedefs and custom controls is that it "enforces" rules, lets you use enums for clarity, keeps the code "honest", etc. -- I'd hate to give that up just to get rid of a dot!].
On a related note, the code seems to work. This is much too simplistic to do anything, but if you open Set State and Get State, set the state to anything, run it (it immediately stops, of course), then run Get State, you'll see the chosen state appear in the indicator. So it does appear to work. The "error" (coercion dot) may, I suppose, be a "bug" in Labview because it can't figure out the mapping of the (very simple!) Custom Control, but if so, I hope it gets fixed quickly!

Hello Bob,
I am also seeing this behavior, I will escalate this question to our LabVIEW developers and post again here no later than next Tuesday, November 27th as National Instruments will be closed for the remainder of this week.
If this issue does turn into a product suggestion, I would suspect the workaround would to live with the coersion dot for the time being.
Enjoy the holiday

Creating variables in Process Flows and using thse variables in the filter

Hi,
I am new to OWB and in learing stage. Need to information.
*1. as to how pass/create/use variables to OWB mapping ?*
*2. Creating variables in Process Flows and using thse variables in the filter operator of the OWB mapping?*
*3. Other mechanisms of how to create/use variables within OWB mapping itself ?*
can you please provide the above details and guide me / help me in this regard.
Thanks,
skms.

1. Add parameters to your mapping using the MAPPING INPUT PARAMETER from the pallette.
2. Add parameters to the START operator in the process flow. Bind the process flow parameter to the Mapping parameter.
3. May be appropriate to use CONSTANTS instead of parameters.

Using presentation variables in report columns

Hi.
I need to create a report column evaluating the difference in days between a field containing a date and a presentation variable.
My field is defined as:
TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY, "Data Scadenza"."Data Scadenza Fattura", @{DataAnalisiScaduto})
Where DataAnalisiScaduto is a presentation variable passed to the report and it's generated on a date field.
Executing the report I get an error and looking at the session manager in the generated query I can see:
TRUNC( (31 / nullif( 12, 0)) / nullif( 2010, 0) ) - TRUNC( T4292.DATA )
Why ? How can I do ?
Thanks,
