Using variable in repository OBIEE

Hi all,
This is my initialization string of physical table (select typ) in repository (hardcoded) :
SELECT * FROM TABLE(ORACLEBI.PKG_CASH_LIMITS.fn_b2export(2,2012)) I have two repository variables: aquarter and ayear. How do I set variables instead of hardcoded values?
Tried
SELECT * FROM TABLE(ORACLEBI.PKG_CASH_LIMITS.fn_b2export('valueof(aquarter)','valueof(ayear)')) and it gives no error, but also this query doesn't return any data.
Upd: yes, default values for repository variables aquarter and ayear are set (but still no result)

Well, the question is resolved for this moment. Honestly I don't like it, but it works. I've created view with nested pipelined function:
create or replace view oraclebi.vcash_limits as
with quarts as
select 1 as q from dual union all
select 2 as q from dual union all
select 3 as q from dual union all
select 4 as q from dual
years as
select extract(year from sysdate) r 
from dual
union all
select extract(year from sysdate) - 1 r 
from dual
union all
select extract(year from sysdate) - 2 r 
from dual 
prompts as (
select quarts.q, years.r from quarts, years
tsql as (
SELECT t.q, t.r, d.* FROM prompts t,
TABLE(ORACLEBI.PKG_CASH_LIMITS.FN_B2EXPORT(t.q,t.r)) d/*(+)*/
select * from tsql tand then filtered query result using OBIEE Analysis prompts on columns.
Thanks to all.

  • Session Variable : How to find out where all it is used in the repository?

    Hello Everyone,
    We have a requirement where we need to convert a few session variables into repository variables. For this we need to figure out where all is that session variable used in the repository and webcat (which all logical columns use it, which all prompts use it etc). We tried the query repository utility but that didnt help. Is there any other way to find that out? Will really appreciate any pointers from your side.
    Thanks in Anticipation,
    Karan

    Hi,
    To find the variables used in,
    Rpd : Open the rpd->Navigate to Tools Menu->Select "Utilities"->"Repository Documentation".This will generate a csv file with the associations
    Webcat :Open the webcat using catalog Manager->Tools Menu->Create Report-.Select the desired columns (Include Xml column)->Open the rpeort in excel find "Variable"->from this you can find the various variables used in the catalog.

  • Using variable in Grand Total Label

    Hi All,
    I am using OBIEE 11.1.1.5 on Windows Vista.
    Can we use variable values in Grand Total label in pivot and table views?
    For eg. If user chose 2013 in dashboard prompt and we saved that in a presentation variable and want to use in the Grand Total label
    so that instead of text "Grand Total" we can show "Fiscal Year 2013 Total".

    I dont think but you may go for custom captions
    You can refere @ for 'Grand Total'
    In caption Year@ results YearGrand Total
    Other workaround : Use Narrative views to refer the variables, you might need to call variable in any of column expression and call it @n
    where n is for column position from left to right
    If helps mark

  • Error-Receiver File Adapter using Variable substitution when file is empty

    XI Experts,
    We are on PI 7.0, SP14.
    We are using variable subtitution to get the filename from source message. This works fine as long as we have data in the payload for filename element. But we have a scenario where we don't have to create file when certain condition does not exists in source message so in the message payload filename element will not exists in such condition and file will be empty and we should not create file.
    Parameter in the communication channel for Handling empty message is "Ignore".
    Does anyone knows how to handle this scneario. We don't want to default any file name in the message mapping if source file name element does not exists.
    We are following getting error in the Adapter engine.
    MP: Exception caught with cause com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error during variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: The following variable was not found in the message payload: file: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.configuration.DynamicConfigurationException: Error during variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: The following variable was not found in the message payload: file
    Thanks

    You can implement this by writing the module to throw an exception or whatever method you want to execute.
    If you don't want to receive an error message then module is suitable for you.

  • Using variables to insert data in the table

    My thanks in advance.

    I would expect your insert statement to be this:
    statement1.executeUpdate("insert into cust1 (cno,n,add1,add2,phone,email) values('"+cno1+"','"+n1+"','"+add11+"','"+add21+"','"+phone1+"','"+email1+"')");
    If you just create a string, it's not going to fill in variables into the string by magic.

  • Using variable with the same name as field name?

    I have a complex proc where I have variables with the same name as field name used on a query. something like this:
    SELECT a.id_table WHERE a.id_table = id_table
    where the last id_table is a parameter sent to the proc:
    declare procedure myproc(id_table int)
    Is there any way or notation to declare the variable inside the query as a variable or I have to use a different name?

    Well, variables are not the only thing you have to change if you want to switch to Oracle.
    Although I don't think it is good practice (to use variable name same as column name), here is one example how you can achieve it using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE and bind variable
    SQL> select deptno, count(1)

  • How to use variables in data slices?

    Hello,
    in BI-IP I have tried to use variables in a data slice.
    The user should fill these variables.
    How can one use and fill these variables?
    Thank you
    Daniel

    Hello Horst,
    data slice is a very strong system lock. It is normally not a good decission to allow users to control this part becuse it sould be in administration of a responsible person.
    If you allow users in the web to open or close data slices, this is like a "open period" funtion in financials: Think about what could happen, if anyone else than the responsible person could do that....
    This is my point of view.
    I would do it in anoter way: Create an User exit and fill a variable like desribed above. You read each line and make a decission whether the user might see this line or not (e. g. period open? yes or no?). The period and the status for the period could be maintained in a table or in a characteristic. table might be easier.
    regards

  • Using variables in the title of the graph

    Hi Gurus,
    I would like to use - for example a presentation- variable in the title of a graph.

    Does anybody know the syntax of using variable in the title of a graph
    (Not in a Title view!)

    You can reference presentation variables in the following areas :

    Column Filters
    Column Formulas

    Chart scale markers.
    Gauge range settings.

  • How do i filter the records in analytic view by using variable/parameter for a time range

    i have a analytic view which has a output column as date type. i want the user who use this view have the control to decided the output records based on a time range (from x to y).
    i tried to create 2 variables, 1 for start_time, 1 for end_time. Ideally, i should have a expression for filtering data like this:
    $$start_time <= date_column <= $$end_time
    However, the variable windows doesn't seem to be feasible for the expression as above.
    Does anyone has the same problem and get it solved?
    Thanks!

    just figured out by my own. So the answer is using "variable" with "range" option.
    Making a variable, then set the "selection type" to "range".
    When preview the data, the variable input window pops up with operator on default "equal", use dropdown list to swtich it to "between", then you can enter the start_time and end_time as a range filter.

    Hi,
    Using the Parameters is the correct method to pass data into and out of a sub sequence. You assign your data to be passed into or out of a Sequence when you are in the Edit Sequence Call dialog and in the Sequence Parameter list.
