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

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...

How to include text lable in Variable selection screen (Web Reporting)

Hi Experts,
I have created one query and in Web Report-->variable selection screen I have one Date field for that field I have to display a label stating that user to input date in the format YYYY.MM(like a text label).Actually I have created 10 to 12 report . I need u r suggestion such that a single change will reflect my requirement in all the reports and I have created all the reports for same multiprovider.
Thanks in Advance
Yours,
Bala

Bala,
Prompts can originate from one of two places: either via Designer and using the @prompt functionality or while creating the report building a prompt in the Query Filters panel. If the prompt was built using the @prompt method, and all 10-12 reports are using that particular @prompt, then one change via Designer will cause all reports to reflect the new verbiage. If you built the 10-12 reports using the prompt in the second scenario, then each individual report needs to be opened, modified and then saved. If you must use the latter method, then you can open the first report, modify the prompt verbiage, then highlight the new verbiage with your mouse and hit Control-C (which copies that text to the Clipboard of your Windows system). Then go to the second report, locate the verbiage that needs to be changed, delete it, then Control-V (which pastes), and voila, some keyboarding strokes are saved....
Thanks,

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.

BeX: Select option for the variable of the report in Portals

Hi Gurus,
In the variable selection screen of the BW reports, I have 'Employee Number' field tab. I have some 3000-4000 employee numbers in a file daily. Generally, I use the option "upload from a file/clipboard" in the multiple selection dialog box that you get after clicking the "more" button.
But the users report only in the Portals, where this option is not available. They do not want to use BeX reporting rather.
what should be done to achieve the same functionality in Portals ?
Any solutions or hints please....?
Points will be awarded.....
Regards,
Srinivas

Hi Suresh,
Those values may not be assigned (OM,OS) to your profile , aas that vriable is Authorisation Process type , i belive u have to be assigned to them,
I hope it helps

BI report not displaying Variable selection screen on UI

Hi,
We have recently upgraded our CRM to 7.0, but the strange thing is the BI reports are executing without giving the user the variable screen.
Now the alternative to this is making the variables in BI section Mandatory and they show up in the report, but this is not the correct way.
Are we missing some piece of configuration somewhere.
Regards
Lalan

Hi Vinayak,
Do you know how can I get the variable selection screen to display in BI analyzer when I execute the report from backend BW system and it launches BI analyzer. I know we can go into Add-Ins and from toolbar we can go into Change Variables Values icon, but I would like selection screen to display as default when user runs the report from backend.
Thanks

I have right clicked the Region Char. Variable on the Filter Section and have selected only South, East, North, West.
But when I try to select the region on the Analyzer. I'm getting all the values including the junk values.
Can anyone tell me how do I have only these 4 regions nothing apart from that.
Thanks

Hi All,
The data I'm getting is from the Data Provider.
But I want to restrict only 2 Zones like South and North in the Variable Selection Screen.
When I try to restrict it at Filter Pane ->select infoobject ->selection variable->right click it restrict.
Both the Zones are correctly being set on the restriction but when I try to execute it in Analyzer its not displaying me only those zone but all the values.
Hope its clear. Please reply.

How can i display the presentation variable in my reports

Was facing a problem to display the Presentation variable on my report, however i managed to display it on answers, but when i try to display it on my Publisher report it doesnt shows any data.
I use to Select the Values From my prompt, and it shows the Reflection of Presentation Variable on my Answers Report. but i cannot see the Reflection of data on my Publisher Report Please any One Can help me with this.

Removing '' does not work it given the following error
"State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27002] Near <@>: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012] . (HY000)"
and by adding space you mean that I use it as '@{ BbranchCode}'?
What I am doing at the moment is
1. Write the given query in oracle BI Answers.
2. Made a dashboard prompt in Answers.
3. Made a report in dashboard using the Answers report and the dashboard prompt.
Up till this step it works perfectly fine and the data displayed in manipulated on the basis of the values selected in the prompt.
4. Now what I want is to display this report in Dashboards using oracle BI publisher. For that I use the template builder provided for microsoft word.
5. I login to that add-on, open the answers report where I can see the field in the rowset. I select that field and save the template.
6. I open the oracle BI publisher and make a new reprt with data model of the answer's report and Layout of the one I just created.
7. I open the dashboard and put in the BI publisher report in the same page in which the asnwers report and the prompt was.
8. Upon changing the values of the prompt the report in the answers is still getting manipulated but I am not able to see its reflection of the BI publisher report.
The thing is that I am currently using this presentation variable to manipulate my reports in dashbords using dashboard prompts. The report is built in oracle BI Answers and it is working perfectly fine with it. Now when I use the template builder for Microsoft Word and open the template with the answers's report of this query I see the field in the row set but when I display the template in the dason the bases of this presentation variable the report in the oracle BI Answers is getting updated when I change values but when I use the template builder for microsoft word the the field is being shown in the row set.

SAPGUI 640 patch 19, BEX SAP BW 3.x, , Netweaver04 - No variable selection

The above in subject line is installed. Checked the installation w/sapbexc.xla, no major issues, all components were selected during frontend install. When the BEX Browser is launched I connect to BW and I select a report a Visual Basic error "Run-time error '91' Object variable or With block variable not set" occurs. Excel is opened but the expected variable selection screen does not appear. In addition to the above the BW addon patches 8 and 9 are installed and a couple of entries made into the PC registry per note 542961. SAPGUI works well for everything else as far as I can tell. What have I missed to make this work? prkctybum

Lou,
Please help me with this issue. We have the same similar issue you had. We can do the Global Settings going to the individual users but we are not able to push the resolution to every machine in the company, please see the note below. If you could send the resolution showing how you were able to push the code to every machine. You can mail me to [email protected].
Ive attempted to use .NET 2s storeadm /LIST command to pull the BEXAddin info from the IsolatedStorage Assembly where it keeps a record of the bexaddin.dll information. However the record it keeps is of no help. The file path:
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Application Data\IsolatedStorage\x1smiiqw.qws\p1vq0mkf.2u2\Url.fc1l2xts4acc5iv3nxl2uoy0btkfeen5\AssemFiles\BExAddin.xml
is not kept here, or anywhere else that I can find. Im going to have to do this the hard way and build something to check if IsolatedStorage exists, if so, query the folder structure, and check to see if the BEXADDIN.XML has been built, if it has, rewrite the legacy option. If it doesnt exist, thats the BIG issue, well have to initiate Excel to run the BExAnalyzer that way it generates the IsolatedStorage and then repeat the above. The problem is that running Excel without the customer realizing that Im running it is kinda tricky, whats worse is that this would have to run for every user on a machine, and thats impossible to do without everyones password, so essentially, this would only work for the logged on user, or what USD perceives as the logged on user, and since USD runs under the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account thats what it will see as the current user. So, long story short, I dont think I can automate a fix for this.
So, while I could query every existing users folder structure within IsolateStorage, I cannot guarantee that theyve run BEX once to generate the folder structure for themselves in order for me to patch it. We could force BEX open after pushing SAP, but again, it would open for the SYSTEM account, not a real user. The only way to automate is to get the customer involved and have them run BEX one time, but how would we know to then push the fix

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.

Filter value for variable selection screen

Hi & help !,
This could be a tricky or an easy question, but it seems too hard for me !
I'm storing version in my cube, and have a report which shows informations for the version you select (with a variable = ZVERSION01).
ex : Version :
V01
V02
V03
V04
When report is executed i have my variable selection screen (for variable ZVERSION01) which give all version [V01 -> V04]. But i want users have no access to version V01 & V02.
Variable ZVERSION01 is "single selection", i tried to filter with Default Values screen or Characteristic Restriction screen but it doesn't work.
ex : caracterisitic restriction screen : VERSION = !V01 / !V02
default value screen : variable VERSION = ZVERSION01
Any idea?
Thx

Hi,
In BI 7.0 there is Anaylysis authorisation RSECADMIN transaction. That you can use here or normal role concept will also do.
What you need to do is grant authorisation to the users for V03 and 04 version only and create 'Authorisation' type variable on version in the query. (type of variable - it asks while creating the variable). This way users will only be able to see authorised versions only.
Note you have to make version infoobject as Authorisation relevent infoobject. ( in infoobject properties).
Let me knw if you have any doubt.

Do we have search help facility in variable selection (F4 help).

Hi All,
At my client place users are comfort with R/3 search help (F4), and looking for the same feature in Bex Reporting. Is it possible to have the same kind of feature in Bex reports.
Example.
In R/3 T-Code MB5B, user searches with material description or with some other options like sales material by general product hierarchy. Can we get the same kind of feature.
And my client says that if we drop down for material it is taking huge amount of time to display the material numbers and description, we want to know how to reduce the time for displaying the material or customer master data text in variable selections.
In Bex we are aware of material text is going to display as small or medium or long descriptions, when we drop down.
Your suggestions are most valuable to us.
Thanks in Advance.

Goto se11
in data type : put KIDNO change mode   ... avoid the messges ....
there in theDefinition   : put your new Search Help   activate it ....
so that   it will be attached..
otherwise there so many ways of attaching the serach help   for F4 ..
Implementing search Helps
Search helps can be implemented in a variety of ways:
1 .Add to Table field Added via SE11: Place cursor on desired field within database and select menu path Goto->Search help->for field
Effect: If field used to create screen field, search help will be called when user executes F4/drop down input help. All fields on screen will be populated if appropriate fields exist in search help and screen.
2.Add to Table Added via SE11: Place cursor on desired field within database and select menu path Goto->Search help->for table
3.Add to Data element Added via SE11: Select desired data element (double click), enter search help name and parameters in appropriate fields on screen. Will be applied to all fields associated with that data element
4.Add to Screen field Added via screen painter: One of field attributes is search help. Will only populate the one screen field.
5.Add to Sel. screen parameter (MATCHCODE) Added using 'matchcode' addition for parameters declaration: Search help name must be no more than 5 characters long.
e.g. PARAMETER p_prog LIKE trdir-name MATCHCODE OBJECT zsh.
Rewatrd points if it is usefull ...

Key and text replaced with "???" in variable selection after SPS Upgrade

Hello community
I have a problem regarding the variable screen.
We recently upgraded to SAPKW70021 and SP19 in Java. After this a problem appeared in web reporting and variable selection. When users are prompted to enter a value for fiscal year for example, the input help displays "???" instead of years. When you choose an "???" randomly from the list and add to your selection, the year is displayed correctly. The same issue is present with company code selection and other user input variables as well, the selection list is filled with "???" for both key and text.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
best regards
Antti Lyytikäinen

Hi,
Note 1368055 describes this issue. You need to implement the mentioned java patch for the BI components and set the parameter mentioned in the note to solve this issue.
