Using a Combobox for filter

Hi all,
I want to create a combobox that has a list of all members of a property of a dimension. When i choose the property from the combobox, i want to see all members that has this property. How can i do this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Every member has all the properties defined on a dimension. The only thing which differs is that the value of those properties from one member to another.
Coming back to your question, I didnt understand the exact requirement. However, I am sure that the EVLST, EVSET and EVPXR will definitely provide you some guidance. Please refer to the below link:

Combobox for Find and RowsetIterate tag

Hi,
My first question is:
When using a custom data web bean, I recognized that the rowset fetched by getRowset() is not the same rowset that the original
datasource in the jsp page uses. Is this a normal behaviour? That creates a problem when for example I want to carry the navigation
capability into a data webbean, from with the rowset.scrollRange(10); is called.. But the datasource still is in the previous range.
The only work-around I could think is, passing the rowset from the page to the datawebbean, but then what is the use of a datawebbean?
Or simply do I forget to do smt? like stateful, stateless, refreshing...
Second one:
I am trying to form up a Find bar for a list of items, that I will place on top of list. When the find button is pressed, the where clause
of the data source will be setted. And I hope then the data source on that page will refresh the rowset and only the rows of that criteria will be
available. The content of the find inputs are to be reserved between requests. I want to use a combobox for some columns.(Like the ones of InputSelect tags)
And I want to:
[list]
[*]Fetch the content of those fields when the find button is pressed
[*]Reserve their state between page requests.
[list]
Is there a code that will let me to use the InputSelect tag for find column? (It might create a problem as the same column name is used
in the list) So I have chosen to use a simple "select html tag" and fill in with RowsetIterate tag..
-- When a RowsetIterate tag is used as:
<jbo:ApplicationModule configname="cqmappbuscomp.CqmappbuscompModule.CqmappbuscompModuleLocal" id="CqmappbuscompModule" username="ecqm" password="ecqmtest" />
<jbo:DataSource id="uv" appid="CqmappbuscompModule" viewobject="UsersView" rangesize="-1" ></jbo:DataSource>
<jbo:RefreshDataSource datasource="uv" />
<%
String subm = null;
if(vParams.contains("find_submitter"))
subm = request.getParameter("find_submitter");
%>
<select name="find_submitter">
<option value="" > </option>
<jbo:RowsetIterate datasource="uv" >
<option value="<jbo:ShowValue datasource="uv" dataitem="Id" ></jbo:ShowValue>"
<jbo:Row id="row2" datasource="uv" action="Current" ></jbo:Row>
<% if((subm!=null | | !subm.equals(""))&& subm.equals((String)row2.getAttribute("Id")))
out.print(" selected");
%>
<jbo:ShowValue datasource="uv" dataitem="Surname" ></jbo:ShowValue></option></jbo:RowsetIterate>
</select>
But I get a Application error:null. This also happens when I do uv.getRowSet().getCurrentRow().getAttribute("Id"). As if there is a
problem in getAttribute("Id") call. I am sure that Id field exists. Can't you mix the tags with a code fragment that tries to get the fields using the rowset of that data source?
I need the current ID value of the row of uv datasource to compare with the previous value, so that "select" will be added to make it seem
that state is reserved.
Thanx in advance..
Ferhat

Ok, one's best problem-solver is himself I think.. Nobody didn't have any idea?
For the ones that are having similar problems: The problem was; "Id" is fetched as oracle.jbo.domain.Number, and when I cast it to String it crashes. But shouldn't it be more explicitly told instead of Application error:null ??

How to use combobox to filter datagrid in Flash Builder 4?

Hi,
I've been working through the TestDrive application with Flash Builder 4 and I would like to learn how to filter a datagrid using a combobox. I've googled the subject and results for many different versions of Flash, some which look like they will take a considerable amount of time to implement. I'm hoping with Flash Builder 4 there is a straight-forward way to do this without writing pages of code.
I think I may be close to getting this working by passing the combobox value into a PHP script which queries the database with a WHERE clause.
Thakns,
David

I was able to get the data returned from a PHP call into an array by placing the following in the service result handler:
   public var myEmployeesArray : Array;
   [Bindable]
   public var myEmployeesDataProvider : ArrayCollection;
    myEmployeesArray = mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(event.result);
    myEmployeesDataProvider = myEmployeesArray[0];   //data provider for the datagrid
Not certain how to use filterfunction yet though. I started to read this page but need to work on it more: http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Using_the_to_ArrayCollection_s_filterFunction-5441.html
I'd like to filter only one field in the ArrayCollection.
Also, for anyone else who may be learning while reading this, I found the following page helpful in figuring out how to load the PHP service return data into an array:

How to use wildcards in REST filter for subscription items

I am following this documentation:
String column filters
Support % (starts with) operator.
Support * (Contains) operator.
Does not support (ends with) operator.
Examples:
Name=service*
Name=*g*
Name=*g -- not allowed
REST URL:
http://<ServerURL>/RequestCenter/nsapi/serviceitems/serviceitemsubscription/<columnName>=<wildcardValue>
I can get filters to work without wildcards, but have had no success using '*' or '%' characters. Please provide a properly encoded sample URL for
ServiceItemTypeName starting with 'Virtual'. I have not been able to get any data returned when using wildcards in a filter.
Here is what I have tried:
ServiceItemTypeName=Virtual Server Snapshot
http://10.8.0.46:8080/RequestCenter/nsapi/serviceitems/serviceitemsubscription/ServiceItemTypeName=Virtual%20Server%20Snapshot
response: 200
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><AllServiceItems totalCount="1" recordSize="1" startRow="1">
literal works as expected
ServiceItemTypeName=Virtual%
http://10.8.0.46:8080/RequestCenter/nsapi/serviceitems/serviceitemsubscription/ServiceItemTypeName=Virtual%25
Application-Type=application/xml
response: 200
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><AllServiceItems totalCount="0" recordSize="0" startRow="1"/>
expected result not returned
ServiceItemTypeName=Virtual*

Application-Type=application/xml
500
<nsapi-error-response>Internal Error: Invalid parameter values specified or unexpected error.</nsapi-error-response>
fails with error response

Hi Dan,
I don't think you can use wild cards here.
Please see the Integration Guide for 9.4. Section: "REST API -> Quick Reference".
Here you'll find a table of what features are supported for the different resources exposed by the API. In there you will find a row for "All Service Items", and you'll see that: Get All, Sorting, Paging and All Filters are supported; Wildcards Name Search are not...
When I came accross this same situation, I assumed that I am trying to do a Wildcard Name Search here... and it's not supported. It does, however, work for the other (SI Designer created) columns, which is what I believe the documentation is trying to describe. (Though, personally, I feel this is a bug).

Need really big combobox for touch screen use-

I’m something of a Flash noob trying to convert an old
Director project to Flash/AS3 for touch screen and web deployment.
The project makes extensive use of comboboxes but the default style
is entirely too small for use on a touch screen. I found (and
mostly understand) the following tutorial for setting the font size
and various other text attributes but the UI elements: scroll bar,
thumb slider, scroll arrows, even the text containers don’t
scale with the text content. Do I really need to resize every
graphic component of the UI independently? Is there no way to just
take a combobox as is but make it bigger? Thanks.

Pre populate a field to use later as a filter for [ME]?

I've got a list containing data records which apply to different people. I'd like to create a filter that compares [ME] with a field in the list so when each user logs in, they'll only see the records assigned to them. What do i need to put
in the field to accomplish this?

Hi,
If you want to use function [ME] to filter a column in a custom list view, that column must be a "Person or Group" type column.
If this column value is dynamically assigned to specified people, we need to type and resolve the people manually,
If this column value is equal to "Created By" or "Modified By" value, we can create a workflow to auto update the custom this column value as Created by or Modified by value.
Then we can filter this column which value equals to [ME] in a custom list view, then create a custom web page and add this list view web part with filtered by [ME] in this web page, users should see the record items assigned to them in this page.

Daniel Yang

Prompt for values to use in calculations, (not filter)

Hi the BO WEBI experts.
I want to create a variable to capture user input for estimated 'billing degree' .
Later I want to use this value for calculations on Key Figures.
I struggle with how to make the variabel, since it seems like I need to connect the variable to the Universe, to be able to make it.
Thank you for good answers.
Best Regards

Hi Ingrid,
I believe you want to capture a value entered by user, in the webi report variable.
Please clarify the workflow where exactly the user enters the value, which you want to capture.
Does the query has a prompt, where user will enter any value, which you want to capture in the variable?
In this case, first create a prompt in the query. Go to EDIT Query mode, drag the object in the 'query filters' and specify the prompt condition.
Now, run the query and get the result set and then create a variable using UserResponse function.
Also see the 'function help' for UserResponse function from the 'variable editor'.
This variable will give you all the values entered by user in the prompt.
If this is not the case, please specify the exact requirement and the workflow.
Regards,
Abhijeet

What is the datatype of the Variable lastupdate ?
In my case
Variable
Name : LastUpdateDate
Datatype : Alphanumeric
Action : Historize
Query : select to_char(to_date(sysdate,'DD-MON-YY'),'DD-MON-YY') from sys.dual
Then in filter I used
EMP.HIREDATE>to_date('#LastUpdateDate','DD-MON-YY')

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.

How can I use jbo:InputSelect for a char type filed?

How can I use <jbo:InputSelect for a char type filed?
I have two tables. One is room (primary key is room(type is char)), another table is responsibility (foreign ker is room(type is char)). Both tables have same length for room column.
There is a problem:
If I use (in the "DataEditComponent.jsp" file)
<jbo:InputSelect multiple="false" datasource="dsEdit" displaydatasource="roomData" displaydataitem="ROOM" displayvaluedataitem="ROOM" ></jbo:InputSelect>
to get the room input for responsibility from combobox(Datasource roomData is from room table). In the form the room field cannot bind the data in combobox, alway select the first item. And if I select one item and click the update button.There is an error message:
Error Message: JBO-27010: Attribute set with value H409 for Room in Responsibility has invalid precision/scale
I found If I changed the field type from char to varchar2 in database also change the entity objects, it works well. I wonder if there are any diffrence using <jbo:InputSelect tag in char and varchar2 type. How can I use <jbo:InputSelect for a char type filed as i don't want to change my datatype in database at this stage.
I try this in JDeveloper 9.03, 9.034, 9.04. The result is the same.

If I were in your shoes, here's how I would do it:
<%-- Assuming you have dsRoom and dsResponsibility --%>
<%-- Select is an HTML tag --%>
<select name="ROOM" size="1">
<% char roomID =""; // Init your character var
// Open a rowsetIterator to get the records and add them to the LOV
<jbo:RowsetIterate datasource="dsResponsibility" changecurrentrow="true" >
<% roomID = (char)dsResponsibility.getRowSet().getCurrentRow().getAttribute("ROOM"); // Grab the char value
// add the value to the LOV
%>
<option value="<%=roomID%>"><%=roomID%></option>
</jbo:RowsetIterate>
</select>
If you are using this as part of an edit page you may want to utilize the "selected" option of the <option> tag. In one instance I am doing this on an edit page because the use may open an existing record. If I don't account for it, then it will change the DB to contain the first value from the list! You can do a simple check like:
//Set the current record's char
char curRecord = (char)rowEdit.getAttribute("ROOM");
// inside the iterate:
if (curRecord == roomID) {
<option value="<%=roomID%>" selected><%=roomID%></option>
} else {
<option value="<%=roomID%>" ><%=roomID%></option>
Hope that helps!

Using sql in the filter expression

For a project I need to use a filter which is a construction
with BETWEEN dateFrom AND dateTo.
But the user does not choose these datevalues,
he chooses timePeriods which have a unique startDate.
The dashboard prompts are populated with these timePeriods and the user chooses 2 of these and 2
presentation variables are set.
Now I need to retrieve the according startDate for a chosen timePeriod.
I tried to do this using a sub-query in the filter expression,
but this seems not to be valid in Answers.
In standard SQL it is expressed like this:
select table1.* from table1
where table1.dateValue BETWEEN
+(select table2.startDate from table2 where table2.timePeriod = 'theChosenValue1')+
AND
+(select table2.startDate from table2 where table2.timePeriod = 'theChosenValue2')+
The return of the subqueries are single row, as it should in such constructions.
I want the where clause to be in the filter expression for the dateValue column in Answers.(trimming of the WHERE keyword)
Is there any other construction that does this trick in the BI Answers/Dashboard environment to do this?
Kind regards

Hi Micek,
Thanks for your quick reaction.
Yes you are right the ChosenValues will be replaced by presentation-variables in the final dashboard,
I just am testing it with constant values in the Answers module.
The problem seems to be that it is not allowed to use a sub-query in the filter expression.
The Answers web application says there is a syntax problem near <select>, while I expect the SQL to be valid.
I guess not all regular SQL is allowed in filter expressions.
And since the report does not try to fetch data, no log of a generated, real SQL is written to the logfile.
I need some alternative for the subquery, but one that is allowed in the filter expression.
The problem is based on the fact that the user chooses a different value then the one that is filtered on.
The timePeriods represent just one startDate, but I cannot use timePeriod itself to filter on.
Because I need a between value, wich does not make sense for a timePeriod element
such as '01-08' or 'JAN-08'.
Several timePeriod notations are used, so using SubString and || to calculate a numeric value from the timePeriod varchar2 is not a good option.
The error says:
Error getting drill information: SELECT "....
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27002] Near <SELECT>: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012] . (HY000)
Any input is welcome
kind regards

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.

Using OBIEE 11g for 10 minutes...not liking it (at all)...slew of bugs

I don't mean to rant, but I've been a huge supporter of OBIEE 10g for years now. I've finally got 11g installed on my laptop, and I've spent 5 minutes playing with straight forward answers stuff, and I've already hit two or three "showstopper" issues, and 2 or three "really annoying" items:
1. I go in to Answers (Sample sales), choose "P1 Product" and then go to the Results tab. As expected, I see a list of products. So then I go back to the Criteria tab, and add in "P2 Product Type", "P3 LOB", and "P4 Brand". Navigate back to the Results tab...and it's showing exactly the same 1 column of products as before. Hit the refresh button just in case...and that doesn't help either. Is this a bug? Or is there some magic other than just switching between criteria and results tabs to see the "new" results???
2. Trying to figure out what SQL is going on in #1, I click on the administration link. But instead of popping up a new window and leaving my original analysis alone, it navigates me to the admin page. When I try to go back to the analysis using back arrow, everything has been erased...so I've lost it. Also, the "Administration" link doesn't allow me to "Open in new browser window". Am I completely insane, or has this functionality been totally ruined?
3. In the criteria tab, items used to have a filter icon, formula icon, sort icon, etc. directly on their tiles. Now I have to hit the little dropdown and pick from a list. 1) this hides functionality from users, 2) this adds extra mouse clicks and slows things down with little if any apparent benefit. Is there a reason this was done?
4. In the criteria tab, if I have two dimensions with several attributes, I used to be able to re-sort the dimensions in front of each other by dragging and dropping the dimension name (upper part of tile) instead of each individual dimension attribute. Looks like this completely doesn't work in 11g. Bug?
I'm hoping my experience improves (quickly)...because this is really really poor. To find this much stuff in less than 10 minutes is really disappointing. New functionality might be great...but if I can't even get basic queries to show results properly, this is useless. Can someone please confirm if these are bugs and/or if I'm not doing something right?
Thanks,
Scott

Just to update item #1, if I add all four columns at the start in the criteria tab, I can then "remove" any of them and they get removed from the results. But if I go to add them back in, again they are not showing up in the results.
Two other dumb questions:
1. Anyone hear info on when 11.1.1.4 will be out?
2. There are like 30+ patches already on support.oracle.com for 11.1.1.3. Do I have to patch all of them?
3. Will the patches address the issues I'm seeing?
Thanks, sorry for the rant, quite frustrated.

Firefox is having a problem with Linkedin. I get the error, error in parsing value for "backgroun" and for "filter"

When trying to send messages in linkedin, firefox takes me back to the log in screen without sending the message. On the error console it shows the error; error in parsing value for "background" and error in parsing value for "filter". What is causing this?

Pages does not support the Apple font used for color emoji, so that behavior is normal.
With what app are you reading the yahoo mail? There is really no guarantee than any other email service will show the special Apple font involved.
You should have no problem putting emoji directly into Mail or Text edit via drag drop from the Character Viewer as shown below.
You should also be able to upload graphics here easily by clicking on the camera icon. My email is tom at bluesky dot org.
