Use EVALUATE_PREDICATE function as filter in an anlysis

Hi guys,
I'm struggling to get the proper syntax to use the EVALUATE_PREDICATE as a filter on a column in an OBIEE analysis.
I'm using an EVALUATE function to determine the rank of 'Test Naam' in the result set (CAST(EVALUATE('DENSE_RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY %2 ORDER BY %1)'AS INTEGER,"Test Definities"."Test Naam","Procestransformatie"."Procestransformatie Code") as DOUBLE)). This returns results for i.e. 12 tests. Now I want to split up this resultset into 3 sets of graphs on a dashboard (1-4, 5-8 and 9-12).
I cannot apply a regular filter on this column because it then returns an error message. Apparently the solution to avoid this error is to apply the EVALUTE_PREDICATE function as a filter. But I cannot get the proper syntax to work...
I hope someone can help me out. Thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Jeroen

Hi Could anyone help me with this please...

How to use, Case function and Filter in Column Formula?

Hello All,
I am using case function and also would like to filter value to populate.
Below is showing error :
case
when '@{Time}' = 'Year' then "Time"."Fiscal Year"
when '@{Time}' = 'Quarter' then "Time"."Fiscal Quarter"
when '@{Time}' = 'Month' then FILTER ("Time"."Fiscal Period" USING "Time"."Fiscal Period" NOT LIKE 'A%')
else ifnull('@{Time}','Selection Failed') end
Thanks, AK

when '@{Time}' = 'Month' then FILTER ("Time"."Fiscal Period" USING "Time"."Fiscal Period" NOT LIKE 'A%')I dont think Filter this works here or any other data types except number.

How do i use PL/SQL function in filter operator

Hi,
i want to use one pl/sql function in filter operator. how do i use it in filter condition.
error i am getting is
" error occured during expression validatation.
my filter condition is
INOUTGRP1.LAST_UPDATE_DATE > "GET_LAST_UPDATE_DATE"()
can any one suggest me what is the problem for this error.
Regards,
Jyothy

I tried and getting the same error. don't know why!!
However, There is another way of accomplishing it.
You can add a "Mapping Input Parameter" to your mapping and in the default value field call the function "Get_Last_Update_date". Then add the output field from this operator to the filter operator. Then edit the filter condition to replace the function call with output value from the Input parameter operator.
This should work...

Problem using MDX functions in Answers Filter

I'm using OBIEE 10.1.3.2.
I'm using an Essbase cube as my datasource (aggregate storage).
My level 0 members in my Date dimension are of the format yyyy-mm-dd (e.g., 2011-08-13)
I have a dashboard prompt selecting the date from a calendar which returns the date and time (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss). So naturally I can't do just a straight equals between the prompt value and the member value.
What I've written in the filter sql in Answers is: Date.Days = Evaluate('SUBSTRING(%1,1,10)','@{varStartDate}')
The log shows the following:
-------------------- SQL Request:
SELECT Date.Days saw_0, main.total_completed_orders saw_1 FROM SIKAgg2 WHERE Date.Days = Evaluate('SUBSTRING(%1,1,10)','2011-08-09 00:00:00') ORDER BY saw_0
-------------------- Sending query to database named mezen (id: <<9648>>):
With
set [Date4] as 'Filter([Date].Generations(4).members, (([Date].CurrentMember.MEMBER_ALIAS = "2011-08-09 00:00:00" OR [Date].CurrentMember.MEMBER_Name = "2011-08-09 00:00:00")))'
select
{ [Measures].[total_completed_orders]
} on columns,
NON EMPTY {SUBSTRING(,1,10)SUBSTRING(,1,10)SUBSTRING(,1,10){[Date4]}} properties ANCESTOR_NAMES, GEN_NUMBER on rows
from [SIKAgg2.main]
So with all that being said it doesn't appear that the MDX function SUBSTRING is actually doing anything.
1) Am I using the function incorrectly?
2) Is there a better way to do this? I really just need to get rid of the time portion of the variable from the date prompt.
Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated. Spending too much time with trial and error approach.
Thanks,
Brad

Brad,
Try this way..In OBIEE RPD - Physical Layer for level 0 members in my Date dimension. Double click this member and check its type. Change the type to 'DATE' from 'DATETIME'. Delete the Date Dimension in BMM layer & Presentation Layer for again drag and drop from Physical Layer after changing the Type in physical layer.
Normal way of building the RPD using Essbase
Something similar to this http://www.rittmanmead.com/2009/03/dates-timestamp-and-oracle-bi-answers-filters/
This shud solve your timestamp problem everywhere. This is one of the most common problem for Oracle sources. I have essbase as a source but unfortunately I can't replicate it as this is not having time level.
Let me know if this solves your problem...
In case the type is DATE only in RPD then I'll try to provide a diff soln here.
Hope this helps

Unable to apply report filter by using Previous Function

Hello,
I am new to Webi and need your expertise. I created a varible using Previous Function. The varible works fine when you view it. However, it doesn't work when I tried to apply this varible in the report filter.
Here are the varibles:
Varible A = Previous([Field A]; ([Field B]; [Field C]))
DisplayVarible = If([Varible A] = 'Letter A'; 1; 0)
I learned that when applying Display Varible in the report filtes, the Value(s) from list is grayed out. How do I fix this?
Thank you.

The objective is to find the turnaround time from one customer to the next customer. For example, you have a hair saloon shop and you want to know how long does it take when you finish one customer and start the next customer.
Customer PreviousTimeEnd       Time Begin            Time End            Time Diff(Time Begin - Previous Time End)
A                                 7:00                    7:30
B               7:30              7:45                    8:30                15
C               8:30              9:00                    9:30                30
D               9:30              9:45                   10:00                15
As you can see, I can calculate the minutes difference. However, I cannot apply time difference varible in the report filter. I hope I have provided you enough info. Thank you for your help.

Hi LenFinkel,
May I know what is purpose of this requirement, as olaf said,you may parse the T-SQL code (or the execution plan), which is not that easy.
I have noticed that the condition values in your Stored Procedure(SP) are hard coded and among them there is a date values, I believe some day you may have to alter the SP when the date expires. So why not declare 3 parameters of the SP instead hard coding?
For multiple values paramter you can use a
table-valued parameter. Then there's no problem getting the values.
If you could elaborate your purpose, we may help to find better workaround.

When using TODATE function MDX query is not correctly generated

Essbase 9.3.1.2 and OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1.
When using TODATE function MDX query is not correctly generated.
This leads to unexpected values not only on cumulative columns in report (generated with TODATE), but also other columns (calculated with AGO function or directly read from cube) have incorrect values.
The problem occurs when you filter on a column that is not in the select list. If you filter on just one level of dimension, results are fine. You can filter on multiple dimensions as long as you filter on just one level of each dimension.
If you filter on two or more levels of one dimension, than results are not correct. In some cases results for TODATE column are all zeros, in some cases it is a random value returned by Essbase (same random value for all rows of that column), and in some cases BI Server returns an error:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. Essbase Error: Network error [10054]: Cannot Send Data (HY000).
Here is generated MDX code:
With
set [Grupe proizvoda2] as '{[Grupe proizvoda].[N4]}'
set [Grupe proizvoda4] as 'Generate([Grupe proizvoda2], Descendants([Grupe proizvoda].currentmember, [Grupe proizvoda].Generations(4), leaves))'
set [Segmentacija2] as '{[Segmentacija].[RETAIL]}'
set [Segmentacija4] as 'Filter(Generate({[Segmentacija2]}, Descendants([Segmentacija].currentmember, [Segmentacija].Generations(4),SELF), ALL), ([Segmentacija].CurrentMember IS [Segmentacija].[AFFLUENT]))'
set [Vrijeme3] as '{[Vrijeme].[MJESEC_4_2009]}'
member [Segmentacija].[SegmentacijaCustomGroup]as 'Sum([Segmentacija4])', SOLVE_ORDER = AGGREGATION_SOLVEORDER
member [Accounts].[MS1] as '(ParallelPeriod([Vrijeme].[Gen3,Vrijeme],2,[Vrijeme].currentmember), [Accounts].[Trosak kapitala])'
member [Accounts].[MS2] as '(ParallelPeriod([Vrijeme].[Gen3,Vrijeme],1,[Vrijeme].currentmember), [Accounts].[Trosak kapitala])'
member [Accounts].[MS3] as 'AGGREGATE({PeriodsToDate([Vrijeme].[Gen2,Vrijeme],[Vrijeme].currentmember)}, [Accounts].[Trosak kapitala])'
select
{ [Accounts].[Trosak kapitala],
[Accounts].[MS1],
[Accounts].[MS2],
[Accounts].[MS3]
} on columns,
NON EMPTY {crossjoin ({[Grupe proizvoda4]},{[Vrijeme3]})} properties ANCESTOR_NAMES, GEN_NUMBER on rows
from [NISE.NISE]
where ([Segmentacija].[SegmentacijaCustomGroup])
If you remove part with TODATE function, the results are fine. If you leave TODATE function, OBIEE returns an error mentioned above. If you manually modify variable SOLVE_ORDER and set value to, for example, 100 instead of AGGREGATION_SOLVEORDER, results are OK.
In all cases when this variable was modified in generated MDX, and query manually executed on Essabse, results were OK. This variable seems to be the possible problem.

Using a function return in an "IN" statement

All,
I need to filter the records in a table based on the return value of a function. The function determines a person's group and then executes 2 separate select statements depending on the group.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE pkg_rolebased

WHERE a.role_id = role_id_in
                    AND a.workflow_entity_fct_id= 'View Student.Student.View'
                    AND a.dmn_restriction_id IS NOT NULL);
FUNCTION rolelookup (stud_email IN varchar)
RETURN roletable;
END;CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY pkg_rolebased
IS
FUNCTION rolelookup (stud_email IN varchar)
RETURN roletable
IS
v_roleid varchar2(200);
v_returnval varchar2(200);
v_data roletable := roletable ();
dmn_rec all_dmn_cur%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
-- Find out the role of the person
SELECT r.role_id
INTO v_roleid
FROM tomwojeck.pa_user_prfl p, tomwojeck.pa_user_prfl_role r
WHERE p.user_name = r.user_name
AND UPPER (p.email_addr) = UPPER (stud_email);
IF UPPER (v_roleid) = 'ALL'
THEN
OPEN all_dmn_cur;
LOOP
FETCH all_dmn_cur
INTO dmn_rec;
v_data.EXTEND;
v_data (v_data.COUNT) := dmn_rec.dmn_id;
EXIT WHEN all_dmn_cur%NOTFOUND;
END LOOP;
CLOSE all_dmn_cur;
ELSE
OPEN child_dmn_cur (v_roleid);
LOOP
FETCH child_dmn_cur
INTO dmn_rec;
v_data.EXTEND;
v_data (v_data.COUNT) := dmn_rec.dmn_id;
EXIT WHEN child_dmn_cur%NOTFOUND;
END LOOP;
CLOSE child_dmn_cur;
END IF;
RETURN v_data;
END rolelookup;
END;
The select statement to filter on this mess is:
select
lname,
fname,
dmn_id,
stud_id
from tomwojeck.pa_student p
where p.DMN_ID in (select * from table(cast(tomwojeck.pkg_rolebased.rolelookup('[email protected]') as tomwojeck.RoleTable)))
The problemm is this performs horribly! If I enter an email address that causes the first cursor to be used, it runs well, but if I use an email address that causes the second cursor to run, it takes forever.
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks,
Tom Wojeck

Your query has to be tuned. The execution plan as well as the information on the indexes will certainly help.

Error while using the Geospatial Range FIlter

Hello,
When I try to use the Geospatial Range Filter I get the error:
javax.portlet.PortletException: com.endeca.portal.data.DataSourceException: An error occurred while executing query: exception encountered while executing external function 'internal:navigation-query', caused by error endeca-err:MDEX0001 : Invalid input : Error in selection filter: "DISTANCE" is not a valid function on the types (mdex:geocode-set, mdex:geocode)
Can anybody help me?
Thanks!
Marco

Marco,
you are dealing here with trying to use a function DISTANCE on mdex:geocode type and mdex:geocode-set, where:
mdex:geocode Represents a latitude and longitude pair. Used for atomic values (from single-assign geocode attributes).
mdex:geocode-set Represents a latitude and longitude pair. Used for sets (from multi-assign geocode attributes).
However, many functions and operators work on atomic data types and do not support sets.
Quoting from the EQL Guide:
Important: With three exceptions, all the functions and operators described in this chapter work only on atomic data types. That is, they are not supported with sets. The three exceptions are
ARB,COUNT, and
COUNTDISTINCT. For information on the set functions, see Sets and Multi-assign Data.

User-defined function in FILTER clause

hi,
can i create the user-defined functions and use them in the FILTER clause in the sem_match function? there are some built-in functions for the FILTER clasue. however, only one function (DATATYPE(literal)) support for date/time in the built-in functions. i want to implement some user-defined funcitons in the FILTER clause which can check time intervals in ontology. there are some functions about valid time in the WorkSpace Manager such as WM_OVERLAPS, WM_CONTAINS,WM_MEETS, etc. so, can i write some functions using the these valid time functions in WM and use them in the FILTER clause? thanks a lot in advance.
hong

Hi Hong,
You don't need user-defined functions to do time interval comparisons. You can directly compare xsd:dateTime values with the built-in comparison operators: <, >, =, !=, <=, >=
For example, the query pattern below could find events that happened during event1 if we have data such as:
:event1 :startTime "2013-01-01T03:15:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime .
:event1 :endTime "2013-02-01T02:15:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime .
:event2 :startTime "2013-01-11T14:15:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime .
:event2 :startTime "2013-01-14T12:15:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime .
SELECT ?e2
WHERE
{ :event1 :startTime ?e1_st; :endTime ?e1_et .
?e2 :startTime ?e2_st; endTime ?e2_et .
FILTER (?e1_st < ?e2_st && ?e2_et < ?e1_et) }
In general, it is trivial to convert interval relations such as meets and overlaps to conditions on start and end times.
Hope this helps.

How to use complex function as condition in Oracle Rule Decision Table?

How to use complex function as condition in Oracle Rule Decision Table?
We want to compare an incoming date range with the date defined in the rules. This date comparison is based on the input date in the fact & the date as defined for each rule. Can this be done in a decision table?

I see a couple of problems here.
First, what you posted below is not a syntactically valid query. It seems to be part of a larger query, specifically, this looks to be only the GROUP BY clause of a query.
