Use variable in user report ...

hi all, once i create the query with variabel [%0] and [%1] and then i create the user report on saved query form. In report designer i want to display the value of [%0] and [%1] on the report on data field how can i do that ? and what is the use of textbox variabel number and edi box variable on datafilend properties. Thanks

It is my understanding that you cannot print the user input variables in a report. I believe that will be available in a future version, probably 2004.

Query Stripping not working properly when using variable in the report

We have issue with WEBI document that have query stripping enable.
Once the query stripping enabled there is no data return in the report.
We have investigate on the problem, the query stripping function are notable to retrieve objects that indirectly used in the report
as we have
many variable in the reports.
Ex.
Var1 = object1 + object2
Var2 = Object3 + Object4
Var3 = Var1 + Var2
Var4 = Object1 + Object2 + Object3 + Object4
If we use only Var3 in the report, the object1,2,3,and 4 will not be
retrieve.
But if we are using Var4 in the report, the object1,2,3,and 4 will be
retrieve properly.
Please let me know is it a by-design behavior, if yes please share points on it

Hi Amit,
Thank you for response, however i already had alook on that VIdeo and it tells us about the basic enabling of query stripping.
But my question is when we have a Variable in a report which is dependent on the other two variables it gives me #error so is it by design or not.

Using Variables in a "Report Custom Functions"

Hi!
I created a custom function using Basic Syntax where I am trying to declare/use variables. I keep getting syntax errors and don't know why. Here is my code so far:
Function cdQSIPeriod () As String
YY = Year(CurrentDate)
MM = Month(CurrentDate)
If MM = 1 then
    MM = 12
    YY = YY - 1
else
    MM = MM - 1
cdQSIPeriod = String(MM)& String(YY)
End Function
Any help you can provide will be appreciated.

You need to add
dim YY as number
dim MM as number

Can I put a SQL query into a bind variable and then use it to output report

Hi,
Can I put a SQL query into a bind variable and then use it to output report?
I want to create a report and an item "text area" (say P1_TEXT) which can let user to input a SQL query(they are all technical users and knows SQL very well). Then, I use a bind variable (that text area) to store the SQL statement. Then, I add a submit button and I want to use the following to output the report:
select * from (:P1_TEXT);
Do you think it is possible to do that? Any known limitations for APEX in this area?
Thanks a lot,
Angela

You can, but make sure it's what you really want to do. Make sure you are VERY familiar with SQL Injection. Most people who know what it is, go out of their way to prevent SQL Injection. You're going out of your way to allow it.
You can try using &P1_TEXT. instead of bind variable syntax. Bind variables are one of the best ways to prevent SQL Injection, which is why it's not working for you.
Once again, I strongly urge you to consider the implications of your app, but this suggestion should get it working.

How to use customer exit variable in the report

Dear All,
i want to use a standard customer exit variable in the report properties.
In the Bex Query Designer right hand bottom you will find two buttons "Properties" and "Task". Click on task you will get different option. Choose properties from there and then select "variable sequence tab".
I need to add a standard variable there. How can i achieve it?
Appreciate your early help.

You need to add variable to corresponding charctertic then you can get that varaible for sorting the sequence....
If 0CUST is the varaible then you need to assign it 0CUSTOMER then 0CUST will be available for the sequence.

How to use advanced tab in user reports?

Hi,
How to use "advanced" tab in user reports?
I have two reports. I fill "Report ID" in both and then I can push "Add Report" and fill fields property.
Then I'm can "drill" from one report to another on right click, but how to pass parameters?
Is it even possible?
Regard
Libor

Thank you for reply.
I can't get it working.
I have two reports:
1. report:
Name: test
SQL: select 1 NUM, 'text' TEXT from dual;
On advanced tab:
ReportID: -null-
Name: test2
Report: Test2
2. report
Name: test2
SQL: select :NUM from dual;
Now, when I run the first report and click do right click on a row and select TEST2
from popup menu, it navigates to the second report test2, but WITHOUT actual value
from NUM column from first report.
I'm using latest version of SQL Developer (1.1.1.25) and I like reports.
With this feature it would be even better.

Selection Variables display in report output using BEX ANALYSER 7.0

HI All,
I am using BEX Analyzer 7.0 , I want to display the Variables selected in the selection screen, to be printed in the
Report Output.when i execute the same query in 3.5 , i am getting all hard coded and selected variable values in report output.
But in 7.0 analyzer i am not getting any filter values.can i know the reason for this ? do i need to do any settings ? how to display all filter values in report output.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Joseph,
I feel there might be personalization of variables.
After executing the query click on "Change Variable Values" which is on Bex Tool Bar and there click on personaliztion icon and check if any personalizations are there.

Difference between two dates, using Variables in reporting

how to calculate the days difference between Delivery date and Billing date in reporting, using variables (SAP BW 3.5v)?

Hi,
If you want to do the arethmatioc operations with the date then you will have to declare the date as key figure in the cube and add it there and then update it with the date from R/3.
You can use formula variable for this subtraction.
Create a formula in the bex analyzer and then in the down you will get option for the formula varibale.Just make a replacement path varibale on this time characteristic for which yuou want subtraction.
During creation use "key" in the display and "number" as the data type.
If number is not working them you can use "date" type.
Nothing alse needs to be done during the variable creation.
Once you have made the formula inlcude it in the columns of the report.
Thanks

Bind variables in User Defined Reports

SQL Developer 1.0.0.11 / Windows XP / Oracle 9.2.0.5
Thanks for adding the capability for bind variables in user defined reports. However, if there is more than one instance of the same bind variable in the report, the "Enter Bind Values" prompt lists all instances and requires the value be input for all instances. This is unlike the SQL worksheet which only lists the bind variable once. Please change the report behavior to prompt only once per unique bind variable.

Just spoke with the developer of this - you will be prompted for each instance of a bind. That will not change any time soon so I wanted to let you know -

Enhancement: Using PL/SQL in User reports

I'ld like to have the following statement as a User report :
declare
objlist sys.dbms_stats.objecttab;
begin
   sys.dbms_stats.gather_database_stats( cascade    => TRUE,options    => 'LIST STALE',objlist    => objlist);
   for i in 1 .. objlist.count LOOP
      dbms_output.put_line(ObjLIst(i).OwnName||'.'||ObjList(i).ObjName||'[ '||ObjLIst(i).PartName||' ]');
   END LOOP;
END;
/but when I test it, there is errors ORA-06550 and PLS-00103.
It look like that UserReports only accept SQL statements....

At this time, User Defined Reports only accept SQL but I will enter an enhancement request for our next version (post production).

Can I pass parameters from a dashboard via a dashboard prompt and presentation variable to publisher report based on a data model with select statements in OBIEE 11g ?

I have a publisher 11g (v 11.1.1.7) report with a single parameter. The report is based on a data model not a subject area. I created a dashboard put a dashboard prompt and link to the report in separate section on the same page. The dashboard prompt sets a presentation variable named the same as the parameter in the report.
The problem was when I created the dashboard prompt, it forced me to select a subject area which I did (though did not want to) and then I created both a column and variable prompts. But clicking on the
report link completely ignored the value that I thought would be passed in the presentation variable to the report.
Side note : My report uses a pdf template for its layout where I have mapped the columns names from my data model to the form fields on the pdf form. I noticed that if I create a publisher report based on a subject area, then I do not have the choice to choose a PDF as a template type for my layout. (I only see BI Publisher Template as a choice).
I see some documentation online that suggest it could be done in 10g.
Thanks
M. Jamal

Ok,
I just tried that and it still doesn't pass anything to the prompt.
I changed the prompt to an edit field and I made the following weblink but when i click the link from an account it doesn't put anything in the prompt and all data for all accounts is shown.
This is the URL maybe I messed something up...

Repost Function using Variable is not working

Hello experts! I am on BW-BPS 3.5. I have set up a repost function using variables to change a characteristic value for Business Unit.
1. I created 2 variables as Bus.Unit From and Bus.Unit To in the Planning Area. I am not using the variables in my planning level.
2. I entered the variables in the parameter group New Values area for the From and To Values.
3. My goal is when the user executes the Repost Function for a Variable Prompt should appear and have the user select the From Business Unit and To Business Unit.
The Variables are set up as USERVALUE User-Defined Values, Restriction of Values required by user and I have tried with/without option of Input Allowed by User.
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong, I expected a variable prompt when executing the Repost Function but it does not work.
Thank you,
Teri

Ravi, Thank you for your reply however I contiue to have errors or the execution does not repost (change any value) as noted below.
1. I have 2 Variables in Planning area var1 (from) var2 (to) for the same charateristic which is Business Unit
2. Business Unit is in the level, on the selection tab to add the variable I can only add 1 variable, So I added var1 (from) to the level.
3. Parameter group for old and new values - I have Var1 (from), var2 (to)
4. Report Function - are you referring to Reporting variables in BPS? I have set this up as suggested in the "How to Use Reporting Variable in BW-BPS" document.
5. Enter plan data: I receive prompt for VAR1, mandatory. At this point there is no value in Var2.
6. Execute Repost function - I receive an error to "Restrict Var2"
7. If I set variable values and add a value for Var2 I receive an error "The generated data is not contained in the selection condition".
Next I removed VAR1 from my planning level and turned on the option 'Selection in package' for Business Unit. This seems to work well.
What do you recommend?
Thank you,
Teri
