User response function

Hi
Can any body explain about user response function with simple example.
Thnaks in advance

Assuming your universe contains a filter that prompts for user input using the @prompt function and you use the filter in your report OR you add yourself a filter which requires user input in the query panel of your webi report.
When the report runs it will ask your user to provide a value by displaying a text that you provided:
eg. Enter year:
The function UserResponse('Enter year:') will return the value the user provided and you can use it in a WebI variable for further calculations
eg. the following code in WebI
="User entered year " + UserResponse('Enter year:')
will display
User entered year 2010
assuming your user typed in the value 2010 when prompted.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
STratos

Hi Arjit,
I closed the thread.
Can you please help in the below issue :
I have two columns in the BEX report:
1. "Local Count" which is restricted with Multiple Single Value variable "ZIN_CITY" on navigational Attribue 0ROUTE__0ROUTEID.
2. "Out Count " which is restricted with Multiple Single Value variable "ZOUT_CITY" on navigational Attribue 0ROUTE__0ROUTEID.
I put value 100 in prompt ZIN_CITY and 200 in ZOUT_CITY when i run this query in BOBJ WEbi.
But i am getting the error - Not able to retrieve data. i checked in the backend and data is present and also Bex query is working fine.
IF i change the property of variable to Single value then it is working fine in WEBi.
Also i tried another method - irresprctive of setting the prompt in BEx on Nav attr 0ROUTE__0ROUTEID, i created the prompt in BOBJ WEBi, but LOVs (list of values)are not coming in the prompt.
Please suggest on this?

Need help with User Response function

I have the following formula:
=UserResponse(DataProvider([Segment Name]);"Effective Date")
The user response is a date which is displayed like this:
M/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss a
I would like to display the date as Mmm-dd-yyyy with no time at the end.
When I tried this formula:
=FormatDate(UserResponse(DataProvider([Segment Name]);"Effective Date");"Mmm-dd-yyyy")
I get the "invalid data type" message. I think I understand why (UserResponse isn't a date function), but I'm unable to come up with another formula that will do what I require.
When I tried this formula:
=ToDate((UserResponse(DataProvider([Segment Name]);"Effective Date"));"Mmm-dd-yyyy")
I get #ERROR in the cell.
I also tried formatting the cell to no effect.

Hi Ellen,
You have to use the format that the user is inputing in, and then format it as you would like it
so this should work.
FormatDate(ToDate((UserResponse(DataProvider(Segment Name);"Effective Date"));"M/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss a");"Mmm-dd-yyyy")

User response() function in SAP WEBi

Hi Experts,
I have created a Formula variable in Bex with name "Exchange Rate" which is ready for input and its type is Number.
when i Created Webi report over this, I get the prompt with Exchange rate.
Now, My requirement is to show the Total value = Stock * unit cost * Exchange rate if user put some vaalue in Exchange rate prompt say 2.3.
If user doesn't put anything in Exchange rate Prompt(means left blank) then Total Value = Stock * unit Cost.
I used the userresponse function on the exchange rate but it wont work. I am getting #error in the column.
First i Create a variable with name Exchg Rate = userresponse("[Exchange rate]")
and then i created the variable Total value =If(IsNull([Exchg Rate])) Then Stock * unit Cost ELSE ( Stock * unit cost * Exchange rate).
But i am not getting the desired results.
Please advise/help on this.
Thanks,
Abhimanyu Sharma

Hi,
Always use a technical name of the Bex prompt in Userrepsonse().
Also try this:
@ vExchange Rate:
=if (Userresponse("Technameofprompt") ="") then 0
Else
Userresponse("Technameofprompt")
@ vTotal Value:
=Stock * unit cost * Exchange rate
Thanks,
Jothi

Calculation based on user response

I have a report with 2 columns based on the data in the first column i need to perform either sum or average for the next column
C July
c1 value1
c2 value2
c3 value3
c4 value4
c5 value5
c6 value6
If(Match(UserResponse("M1:");"c1") OR Match(UserResponse("M1:");"c2") OR Match(UserResponse("M1:");"c3") OR Match(UserResponse("M1:");"c4");Sum([Jul]);Average([Jul]) )
Value1,2,3,4 aggregation is sum but for c5,c6 also it is giving sum value but not average but i want the aggregation for value 5 and value 6 as avearge

For example take efashion unv
My requirement is if user selects california or newyork the aggregation on sales revenue should be average and sum on the other two states.
Code:
=If(UserResponse("State:")="California" Or UserResponse("State:")="New york" ) Then Average([Sales Revenue]) Else Sum([Sales Revenue])
this formula is not working , iam getting blank rows under sales revenue column
Is there something to do user response function because it returns values as california;new york;massachusetts;texas
could you please post the correct formula
State Sales Revenue
California
New York
Massachusetts
Texas

User Response Error with BW prompts

Hello Experts,

Hi,
You can get the values of the prompts that are coming from BW Query using the UserResponse() function. Following is the way to get the value:
1. Say, you have a variable ( from Bex ) with Name as "Customer".
2. Now, in order to get the value of the variable in BO, you need to write the UserResponse() as UserResponse("Customer")
You have to ensure that the name of the variable is mentioned correctly within " ".
Hope it helps.

User response fuction help

Hi Techis,
I need to create user response function in webi report in a variable.The variable i use for furtur calculation.
Gentis is a prompt name and user selects any one of the 2 values in a prompt.
suppose user select "A" in the prompt it will return '0' and user selct "B" in the prompt user response will return 1 (any how any one value 0 or 1) save in the variable.i am using r4 and BEX Query is source.
How can i save 0 or 1 in variable.
Kindly help me on this.
Greatly appreciated.
Thanks--
Madhu
Edited by: send2madhuk on Mar 3, 2012 8:31 AM

If you already have WEBI prompt named "Gentis" then it's simple - create new WEBI variable with following formula
=If UserResponse("Gentis")="B" Then 1 Else 0
or
=If UserResponse("Gentis")="B" Then 1 Else If UserResponse("Gentis")="A" Then 0 Else 99
Depending on your requirements you'll have to choose between type of variable - Dimension, Detail or Measure. Since you said you will use variable for futher calculations most likely type of variable should be Detail or Measure.

Henry,
Do you have a structure for your response...if you do then you can do extended reciever det with sync/async..shouldent matter, i just tried it and i dont get any error.
in your reciever determination..Check the box for standard rec det then add your first condition..of the value of a field to true..then send to A..
then you select add condition..and add for second reciever..that should be it, you shouldent need a bpm for such a simple scenario..it definetly is an overkill.

How to Use Sequence Object Inside User-defined Function In SQL Server

I'm trying to call sequence object inside SQL Server user-defined function. I used
Next Value for dbo.mySequence to call the next value for my sequence created. But I'm getting an error like below.
"NEXT VALUE FOR function is not allowed in check constraints, default objects, computed columns, views, user-defined functions, user-defined aggregates, user-defined table types, sub-queries, common table expressions, or derived tables."
Is there any standard way to call sequence inside a function?
I would really appreciate your response.
Thanks!

The NEXT
VALUE FOR function cannot be used for User Defined function. It's one of the limitation.

What are you trying to do? Can you give us an example and required output?

? Regarding 'SQL user-defined function' execution performance ?

Hi All,
I have an user-defined function in SQL which am using in a SQL select statement and i found that the execution time taken by the user-defined function is 9-10 minutes as a result of which my whole query execution time is affected.
How to i improvise the execution time. Should i do some sort of scheduling for executing the user-defined functions only. Am new to the database world. Your early response with a good suggestion would really be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Calling PL/SQL user defined functions from ODI Constraints

Hi All,
We are trying to call user defined PL/SQL functions from ODI. We are able to call them from ODI's User functions. But when we are trying to call them from ODI Constraints under Models, it is throwing an error 'ORA-00920 invalid relational operator'. Kindly let me know if anyone has faced the same issue and got the resolution for the same. Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Abhishek Sharma

Hi Ace,
Thanks for the response, the same error was coming in operator also.
I am able to call PL?SQL user defined functions from ODI Constraints. We have to first call ODI User functions from the ODI constraints as we cant call PL/SQL function (compiled in database) directly.
From the ODI User functions, we can then call the PL/SQL functions.
Please reach out to me if you need further details reg this.

Unable to Navigate Organization in "Maintenance Super User" Responsibility (Eam Self Service Pages)

Dear friends,
Iam learning Oracle EAM module, now i had a problem that i couldn't able to find EM1 Organziation in the LOV, though i have done Organziation access also, based on the Oracle support.
Solution from Oracle Support
======================
Unable to Navigate in 'Maintenance Super User' Responsibility (EAM Self Service pages) (Doc ID 1053400.1)
If you have the Organizations LOV empty, then you need to go to (Navigation) -Inventory (responsibility) > Setup > Organizations > Organizations Access. Here you need to define a new line for each organization you want to access from the EAM SS responsibility.
Kindly respond on this issue.
Thanks
