Using Bins & Navigating to other reports

Hi all - I have a report that is a high level report and it uses bins to group branches into regions. I want users to be able to click on one of those bins (regions) and drill down to a more detailed report that lists out the branches included in that particular bin.
I have tried using the navigation option in column format to drill down to my 2nd report. On my 2nd report, I have the branch # set to prompted. However, it seems the bins on the first report are preventing this from working. The 2nd report is not filtered at all - instead it shows all branches regardless of region.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Lacey

Hi !
I think you have to copy the formula of the bin in your first report, paste it in a column of your second report, put a filter on it (is prompted) and remove the column.
The filter passed by the first report is something like "CASE WHEN....END" = the value the user has clicked on.
That's why you must have "CASE WHEN....END" is prompted in your filters of the 2nd report.
Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

How to use a report as input of other report?

Hi,
I'm using web intelligence and I'm trying to use the data of one report as entry of other report, the second report will have other filters and other columns. Is that possible? How can I do it?
Thank you,
Marcela

You can use OpenDocument, URL reporting.
e.g.
="<a href="http://ven-ffelt35:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sDocName=WebiStoreName&lsSStore+name:="+[Store name]+"">"+[Store name]+"</a>
You will pass the data from one field as a parameter to a second report. Please have a look at the documentation. If you have any questions, just post them on the forum
[BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2; How to use the openDocument URL command|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/800f7400-bf3e-2b10-fa81-c6c74f457ab4]

Using results of other reports of a Dashboard

Hi there,
i've created a Dashboard with some requests on it.
Now i want to use the result of a report to do calculation on a further report.
Is it possible to save the result of a report in a variable or is there any other way to use the result of a report in another Report?
Thanks,
Frank

Thanks wildmight for your suggestion,
the thing is that I can't create calculated columns on BMM because the results are calculated with subqueries.
I need to do a calculation like
z = x * y
x := count of Customers who have bought Product1 and not Product2 (calculated with subqueries)
y := average Revenue of Product2
Product1 and Product2 are prompted
I dont know how I could calculate this two statements in one report.

Use calculated field(s) in other report

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to use a calculated field by itself in another report? I don't want to insert a sub report because it takes up too much space.
I just need to use few fields in other calculations in the new report.
Thank you

The only way I can think of doing this without subreports is to save the values in a database somewhere. In order to do this, the values would have to be calculated in the report's SQL Command data source. (I'm guessin' that's probably not what you're looking for, but using subreports is the only other way I can think of...)

Use of .pdf file in report

Hello,
is it in any way possible to use an existing pdf file or page in report or include it in the pdf generation?
Tijs

Brad,
This indeed seems to be the only way to fulfill my need as the PDF files I need to add are pre existing and I'd like the complete report be generated by Diadem 'with one push of a button'.
After some minimal research I think I can get everything working as I would like using Ghostscript to convert any required PDF file to seperate PNG files and then load its pages.
I currently use:
Call ExtProgram ("C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.14\bin\gswin64c", "-dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -r200 -sDEVICE=png16m -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -sPAPERSIZE=letter -sOutputFile=D:\Drop\Temp\PNG-%d.png D:\Drop\Temp\PDF.pdf")
I have tried to get a variables within this command for the input and output files and locations but couldn't get it to work so as is I'll have to shuffle files around to be able to use this rigid approach. If there is any way to get a variable within this code it's use would be a lot easier.
As the external program is called the script continues without knowing when the required info (files) is available. To prevent using a fixed pause time I tried to use a small pause and compare filesize before and after pause to determine if a file is fully available, Unfortunately this doesn't realy work as well as I hoped. Also I guess that used h/w and other processes running at the same time would effect what pause time to use. I might have to find another way to see if a file is generated completely but I'll quote anyways:
Do
k= FileSize (Wrkdir & "PNG-"&i&".png")
Call Pause (0.3)
Loop Until (k=FileSize (Wrkdir & "PNG-"&i&".png"))
Although the script now does what it needs to do there is some shuffeling of files required because of the rigidity in the call to the external program and to keep it reliable longer than required pause times are needed.
The realisation of a function that will insert existing Pdf files(pages) is becoming within grasps If I can get around these 2 minor issues.

Facing issue in PDF print on using Guided Navigation Link on dashboard

Hi,
I am facing one issue on using Guided Navigation Link on dashboard.
I have created one Guided Nav. Link on dashboard and renamed it as "RAW DATA".
It was working fine.It is coming as RAW DATA link and when I am clicking on the link it is drilling down.
Till now it is working fine and good.
But in Printer friendly option of dashboard when I am selecting PDF option( To save it as PDF) it was showing text "Guided Nav Link 1" instead of "RAW DATA" in the downloaded pdf.
Please give me some solution.
Thanks in Advance
Santanu Manna

Try this:
1) Drag Guid. Nav. Link to dashboard in a new section.
2) Click on properties of the Guid. Nav. Link object.
3) For the source request, click on browse and navigate to the report.
4) In the Link Properties, check the "Use Dashboard Oject name as link object" checkbox and click "OK."
5) Click on the Rename button of the Guid. Nav. Link object.
6) Type in the name you wish to appear in the link and click "OK."
When you click on Print>PDF, the name of the link will appear in the pdf instead of "Guid. Nav Link 1."

Navigation to a report

Hi
We have a requirement as follows :
There is a column say "No of Employees" in a report. Now if a user clicks on any value under this column it should navigate to a report displaying the
respective Employee names .
For example If a user clicked a value say "2" under the column "No of Employees" it should navigate to the report displaying their names say "X'"
and "Y".Thsese names can vary ie., if a user clicks on the value "2" on other row, then the names can differ.
We used the navigate option to navigate to a report containing all the employee names .But we want the navigated report to conmtain only the respective
employee names instead of all emplyee names.
Providing pointers or procedure to achieve the above requirement will be very helpful and highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
It is a well descriptive link . In this link navigation report is created on customer id (It will always have a single value).
But as mentioned earlier, our requirement is as follows :
Say there is a column "No of Students", If a user clicks a vlaue "2" under this column(No of Students) in a particular row it should navigate to the report, say "Student Details" containing the respective details of only those two students say "Jack" and "Jill" .
Similarily if a user clicks on the value "100" under this column(No of Students) in a particular row, it should navigate to the same report as above ie.,"Student Details" containing the respective details of all the 100 students .
When we followed the procedure as mentioned in the above link ie., "http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/olap_operation" .
The issue we are encountering is : "Irrespective of the value selected under the column " No of Students", it is always getting navigated to the report containing all the students details(the student details are not getting restricted based on the value selected under the column "No of Students").
Plesae let us know, whether there is any other workaround to achieve the above mentioned requirement .
Thanks

How to use Data Navigation in OBIEE11g

Hi,
I read an article about BIEE 10g feature: Data Navigation (click on a record in Analytics report1 and corresponding drill down data show in Analytics report2). I found that there are some setting "Type: Navigate" in "Value Interaction" should be set in Tab: "Column Format" of Column properties in BIEE 10g (pls refer to: http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/navigation).
However, I didn't find these setting in OBIEE 11g. How do I use Data Navigator in OBIEE 11g? Is this features is disabled?

*1. Firstly, what means of "Column (should be filtered)?*
The column in Criteria you should give the *Filter*
2. Table.Column -> Column Properties -> Interaction -> Value (Primary Interaction) -> Action Links -> Add (+ Symbol in Green color) -> Action -> Click *Navigate to BI Content* -> Select the Report from the Shared folder -> OK and Save the report.

Bins Failing In OBIEE Report

So I have a table and Im concerned with 2 fields in that table: Customer ID & Category. Category has the the following values A, B, C and D. I am simply doing a customer count for each category and have created the following bins.
Category A - Count of all Customer ID's with A
Category B - Count of all Customer ID's with B
Category C - Count of all Customer ID's with C
Category D - Count of all Customer ID's with D
Category A and B - Count of all Customer ID's with A and B (Failing)
Whenever I attempt to create the final Category A and B, the report does not even show a line for this. It is not even appearing in the report. Is this a bug? How can this be resolved.

Hi,
Bin can only use for grouping based on single column i,e u can group either A or B or C ... but not A and B.
If u want to group using two categories u can use case statement like "case when ...ur conditions"

Filter condition not working when Navigating from Main report to detail

Hello,
I have one report in OBIEE 10.3.4. Below is the filter condition used in Main report:-
(Customer Secondary Organization is equal to / is in BMS OTHER C
AND Customer Tertiary Organization is equal to / is in S&FO )
OR Customer Secondary Organization is equal to / is in MKTG
Also in my detail report I am using the same filter conditions:-
(Customer Secondary Organization is equal to / is in BMS OTHER C
AND Customer Tertiary Organization is equal to / is in S&FO)
OR Customer Secondary Organization is equal to / is in MKTG
Now when I am navigating from Main report to Detail report, then this filter condition is getting overridden by below condition:-
Customer Secondary Organization is equal to MKTG
and Customer Tertiary Organization is equal to S&FO
or Customer Secondary Organization is equal to MKTG
What I noticed is If I rearrange the filters and make it as below:-
(Customer Secondary Organization is equal to / is in MKTG
AND Customer Tertiary Organization is equal to / is in S&FO)
OR Customer Secondary Organization is equal to / is in BMS OTHER C
Then I am getting the filter in detail report as:-
Customer Secondary Organization is equal to BMS OTHER C
and Customer Tertiary Organization is equal to S&FO
or Customer Secondary Organization is equal to BMS OTHER C
It is taking Secondary Organization which is 2nd one in the main report.
Can anyone please help me on this.
Thank You,
Shivam Saxena

Hi,
What you can try is refer the filte condition in the main report to the detailed report with the option--> Filter based on another request.
Or you try creating another intermediate report which will refer the main report filters and pass the filters to the detailed report.
Hope this helps.

Can we use Dynamic SQL in Oracle Reports ?

Hi ,
Can we use Dynamic SQL in Oracle Reports ?
If yes please give some examples .
Thanx
srini

I believe the built-in package SRW.Do_Sql is what you are looking for
Example from the document:
/* Suppose you want to create a "table of contents" by getting the
** first character of a columns value, and page number on which its
** field fires to print. Assume that you want to put the "table of
contents"
** into a table named SHIP. You could write the following construct:
DECLARE
PAGE_NO NUMBER;
PAGE_FOR INDEX NUMBER;
SORT_CHAR CHAR(1);
CMD_LINE CHAR(200);
BEGIN
SORT_CHAR := :SORT_NAME ;
IF :CALLED = Y THEN
     SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(PAGE_FOR_INDEX);
     SRW.USER_EXIT(RWECOP PAGE_FOR_INDEX
     P_START_PAGENO);
     SRW.MESSAGE(2,TO_CHAR(:P_START_PAGENO));
END IF;
SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(PAGE_NO);
CMD_LINE := INSERT INTO SHIP VALUES
                      (||SORT_CHAR||,||TO_CHAR(PAGE_NO)||);
SRW.MESSAGE(2,CMD_LINE);
SRW.DO_SQL(CMD_LINE);
COMMIT;
EXCEPTION
WHEN DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX THEN
        NULL;
WHEN SRW.DO_SQL_FAILURE THEN
        SRW.MESSAGE(1,FAILED TO INSERT ROW INTO SHIP TABLE);
WHEN OTHERS THEN
       COMMIT;
END;
