Wild card search and multiselection in dashboard prompt????

Hi all:
Actually, I want to make dashboard prompt that filters the customer code, user can select more than one code at a time. But there is one more requiremnet that is, If user wants to find customer code in report than it just write the code or part of code ("like wild card search"). I want these two works in one dashboard prompt. If there any possiblity to do like this. Please help me to create this type of dashboard prompt. Thanks

Hi Ajith,
István is correct, wild card '*' is readily available for any Item name, BP name or other searchable fields.
Thanks,

Wild card search in a FM

Hi experts,
I have a FM in which there is one table customer_name
It has fields as SIGN (type SIGN), OPTION (type OPTION), LOW (type name1_gp), HIGH (type name1_gp).
Now the user can give single value, or a range of values for the customer name.
I am familiar with the wild card search for a select option, but not sure how to apply that funda here.
For ex: If a customer enters the customer name as MG*, then all the names starting with MG should appear
in the output.
Similarly, if the user enters AP* in LOW and MG* in high, the corresponding output should be displayed.
Can you please help me out?
Thanks,
Ajay.

Hi,
Do like this
t_table-sign = 'I'.
t_table-option = 'CP'.
t_table-low = 'AB*'.
t_table-high = 'MG*'.
append t_table.
Use this in your select query.

Multiselect in dashboard prompt

Hi
Is there a way to make multiselect in dashboard prompt "case-insensitive"?
Thanks

Hi,
The following part is from Oracle Business Intelligence Infrastructure Installation and Configuration Guide, and it seems it only affects internal BI functions and does not affect the physical query sent to the database:
CASE_SENSITIVE_CHARACTER_COMPARISON
Specifies whether the Oracle Business Intelligence Server differentiates between uppercase and
lowercase characters when performing comparison operations.
Valid values are ON and OFF. When set to OFF, case is ignored. When set to ON, case is considered
for comparisons. For binary sorts, case sensitivity for the server and for the relational database
should set the same way.
This setting only applies to the Oracle Business Intelligence Server’s internal comparisons for caching
and for aggregation. Case sensitivity is a function of database operations and is set at the database
level. The CASE_SENSITIVE_CHARACTER_COMPARISON parameter allows the Oracle BI Server to
match the back-end database's functions

Case Sensitive problem in Select Option for wild card search

Hi,
Can anyone please let me know how to make the wild card search in any select-option non case-sensitive. What I mean by this is for eg. we want to find out all the POs with short text containing the word 'process', what we do we populate a range with OPTION = 'CP' and LOW = 'process' and select EKPO with short text in this range. This select is however case-sensitive and POs with short text containing 'Process' is not retrieved. But my requirement is that this should be non case-sensitive and both the POs should be in the result set.

Hi,
Hope this helps you
CS:
You can select characters in operand2 for a direct comparison by adding the escape symbol "#" before the required characters. For these characters, upper/lower case is taken into account, wildcard characters and the escape symbol itself do not receive special treatment, and trailing blanks in operands of type c are not cut off.
Covers Pattern: True, if the content of operand1 fits the pattern in operand2. Wildcard characters can be used for forming the operand pattern, where "" represents any character string, and "+" represents any character. Upper/lower case is not taken into account. If the comparison is true, sy-fdpos contains the offset of operand2 in operand1, whereby leading wildcard characters "" in operand2 are ignored if operand2 also contains other characters. If the comparison is false, sy-fdpos contains the length of operand1.

Regarding wild card search in oralce

I am facing one problem,
I am using wild card search based on LIKE condition, that search is got used for searching purpose through a user interface.
the query is like below
SELECT /*+driving_site(a)*/ A.ID,A.CO_ID,B.NAME,A.CITY,A.state FROM mv1 a,mv2 b WHERE a.id=b.id and nvl(b.name,'x') like '<variable>%' and nvl(a.city,'x') like'<variable>%' and a.state like'%' ;
where user can input any one or may two or three parameters for search.
The problem is in response time because mv1 and mv2(materialized view) contains crores of records(around 3.5 crore )
I am able to search it with city and state but when I am trying by name I am not not getting response for that query.
Each where clause is indexed propely even functional index i put there and analyzed also , by explain plan i am able to reduce the cost but im not able to get proper response. I welcome all your suggestions as this is reallly a crucial for me to get that search faster....
Thanks in Advance

Wild card search using %

I have a question on wild card searches. I am currently doing a like behind the scenes to look for a string inside a string...
However, if the user wants to put in a wild card like 'AP%Report%'... I would like to return all the ones that begin with AP and have Report in them- is that possible using APEX? I currently do not get any records as the % is considered literally. As our users are used to Oracle, we will have users who will key in a % during the search and we need this to work!
Can anyone please help me with this?
Thanks!
Ramya

Thanks for your quick response, Tony!
Its a standard report not interactive... version is 'Application Express 4.0.2.00.07'
Below is the complete query,
select * from (
select report_id
, (SELECT report_type_name FROM xxnf.xxnf_apex_rr_report_types t WHERE t.report_type_id = xxnfarr.report_type_id) report_type
, Category
, report_name
, report_desc
, image Sample
, last_used
, link
, sample_url
, decode(sample_url, NULL, 'http://common.newfield.com/images/misc/blank.gif','http://common.newfield.com/images/misc/Sample.gif') sample_icon
, (select resp_group_name FROM xxnf.xxnf_apex_rr_resp_groups t WHERE t.resp_group_id = xxnfarr.resp_group_id) contact
from
xxnf.XXNF_APEX_RR_REPORTS xxnfarr)
where (
instr(upper("REPORT_TYPE"),upper(nvl(:P11_REPORT_SEARCH,"REPORT_TYPE"))) > 0 or
instr(upper("REPORT_NAME"),upper(nvl(:P11_REPORT_SEARCH,"REPORT_NAME"))) > 0 or
instr(upper("REPORT_DESC"),upper(nvl(:P11_REPORT_SEARCH,"REPORT_DESC"))) > 0
or
instr(upper("CATEGORY"),upper(nvl(:P11_REPORT_SEARCH,"CATEGORY"))) > 0
Hope I answered all your questions.. On why I am doing this instead of a LIKE.. I could not get it working with a LIKE and had to pull this code from one of the sample applications... Hope that makes sense!

EIC: Employee search - wild card search with personnel number

Hi,
The employee search functionality in EIC employee-search screen allows to search an employee through wild card search. We had set up this and everything was working fine, but suddenly the functionality to search an employee by giving part of personnel number as wild card search is not working, surprisingly other search criteria are listing employee list. For example, if i need to search an employee with personnel no 30000111, then i can give 30* in search criteria and employees starting with 30XXXXXX would be listed. This is the functionality not working at the moment.
Can anybody please help - what could be the probable cause or where should i look to fix this? Any documentation in this regard would really be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Sujit

hi,
Probably u can set a debug point in the bsp application and ask your abaper to debug the same.
check if any patch application has been done after you saw the functionality working fine.

Wild card searches

I have created a form that searches a table based on radials drop downs and text boxes, works ok. However the text box is used where there are too many options to be used by other methods.
Is there any way to automatically place a hidden % wild card at the front and end of the text box? I'm trying to permit users to be able to enter a part of a name in order to search for records.
Kinda like
record is The Ramones
User can type in Ramon and it will still return all records that has Ramon within its title

Scott,
I have a related question on wild card searches. I am currently doing a like behind the scenes as you have suggested.
However, if the user wants to put in a wild card like 'Sc%t%'... I would like to return Scott - is that possible using APEX? I currently do not get any records as the % is considered literally.
Can anyone please help me with this?

Sudhir.

Are you asking about wild card search in SELECT statements?
The following is the help on wild card search in SELECT statements
... WHERE CITY LIKE '%town%'.
This condition is true if the column CITY contains a string containing the pattern town.
... WHERE NAME NOT LIKE '_n%'.
This condition is true if the column NAME contains a value whose second character is not n.
... WHERE FUNCNAME LIKE 'EDIT#_%' ESCAPE '#'.
This condition is true if the contents of the column FUNCNAME begin with EDIT_.

Wild card searching in sql squery (pl/sql function body returning......)

Hi,
I've a report based on a sql query (pl/sql function body returnin a sql query).
One of the statements is
select .. from ...
where name_of_person = :P17_NAAM
I like to built a wild card possibility (with like '%l%m%') to show all persons with in their name an l, and an m (after the l)
how to modify this statement?
any reaction will be appreciated.
Leo

Leo,
If I understand you correctly, you want to let the user type the value without wild cards, and than to add them programmatically. If that's the case, here is what you can do:
1. Create a new item, say P17_HIDDEN_NAAM, that will contain the actual search criteria
2. Modify your pl/sql to:
begin
:p17_hidden_naam := null;
for l_i in 1..length(:P17_NAAM)
loop
    :p17_hidden_naam := :p17_hidden_naam || '%' || substr(:P17_NAAM, l_i, 1);
end loop;
:p17_hidden_naam := :p17_hidden_naam || '%';
return
    'select ..
       from ...
      where name_of_person like :p17_hidden_naam';
end;By the way, I think that it's much better to train your users to use wild cards than to do it in the program.

NULL and Unspecified in Dashboard prompts after upgrading 10g to 11g OBIEE

Hi All,
We are working on OBI upgradation project from 10g to 11.1.1.6.5. We are facing one issue in Dashboard prompt level. If we can create Dashboard prompt on a column, its giving "NULL", "Unspecified" additionally. But, in 10g there are no extra values.
And the 10g, 11g instances are pointing to the same database and there are no NULL, Unspecified values in Database level.
Through some blogs and articles we found some solutions n are below.
To remove NULL:
-->Go to the Physical Column properties in Physical Layer and Disable the Nullable option by uncheck the box.
-->Go to the Database Features in Physical Layer and disable value to NULL_SUPPORTED.
-->Go to Edit Dashboard Prompt, in Choice List Values drop-down list select SQL Results.
To remove Unspecified:
-->Go to Edit Dashboard Prompt, in Choice List Values drop-down list select SQL Results, then write the SQL statements as columnname is not equals to "Unspecfied" ( In this way we can able to remove Null's also.)
-->Go to Content tab of LTS, in Where clause write an SQL query to restrict Unspecified values.
Note: CHeck with ETL, because if they maintains the Default value is Null when the Datatype is Character and they can maintain 9999 or #### if the datatype is Numeric. And check the Physical query and debug it carefully.
But, we have very big Repository and we have huge no.of Dashboard prompts. So, its not an easy thing to manage by using above solutions. Correct me if there are any mistakes in above.
Any ideas on this...?
Appreciate your help on this..!
Thanks in Advance,
Raghu Nagadasari

Hi Frnds,
As of now, i found the only solution for the above mentioned issue that how to avoid NULL in dashboard prompt level:
Go to the Physical Column properties in Physical Layer and Disable the Nullable option by uncheck the box.
We have done this manually for all tables.
Appreciate if u have any other ideas.!!

Inserting a link to BI Publisher report and passing the dashboard prompts

I have an answers dashboard where there are various prompts (say P1, P2, P3, P4 -all these are date prompts )and various reports.
These Prompts are stored as Presentation variable say var1, var2, var3, var4.
I need to insert a Link on this page to a BI Publisher Report. BI Publisher report also has some prompts say D1, D2, D3 , D4, D5, D6
The link should take the values from the prompts of this page and open the BI Publisher report with D1= value of Prompt P1,
D2= value of prompt P2, D3= value of Prompt P3, and D4= value of Prompt P4.
I was easily able to use an action link -> "Navigate to Web Page" option. I gave the URL for this BI Publisher report and clicking on that link takes me to the report.
But I am still figuring out out to send the values of the prompts.
The BI Publisher Report is :
- built from an RTF template.
- uses a SQL Query with Bind variables to get the value of its prompts D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6.
- Suppose D1 is bind variable :date1, D2 is bind variable :date2, D3 is bind variable :date3 and D4 is bind variable :dat4.
So my first try was to append the value of bind variable to the URL
https://xxname.server.com/analytics/saw.dll?bipublisherEntry&Action=open&itemType=.xdo&bipPath=%2FSurvey%2FPhoneCount%20Record.xdo&path=%2Fshared%2FSurvey%2FPhoneCount%20Record.xdo.xdo&date1=var1
Can someone suggest the steps I need to take to make this work.
Thanks

Hi, I am facing the same issue (OBIEE 11g version0
Please let me know if you found any solution or workaround for this?

How to wild card search in ABAP

Hello,
I have user input and i am saving in variable.
input = userinput.
Now I want to select wild card values based on user input. I cont hardcode the userinput.
SELECT field1
field2
FROM TABLE
WHERE field4 LIKE '%INPUT%" is taking INPUT hardcoded but not as variable.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

hi
If your user input it just one variable like paramter(on screen)
then
Select Field1
Field2
From XXXX
INTO Table XXXX
Where Field4 = input(Input variable).
IF your input is range then you can do this
Select Field1
Field2
From XXXX
INTO Table XXXX
Where Field4 in Range (Input range variable).
Hoping this helps.
