Wrong LOV in input controls

Hi all,
we have an Infoview document containing two reports with an input control on months (01,02,03, etc.). When we open this report for the first time, in the LOV there are other values (i.e. the list of customers)!. We change tab and go to other report, we return to the first one and LOV is correct. We use IE8 and this happens in compatibility mode too.
Thanks for help.

Hi,
That was a very useful answer!
I have a quick question - I am in BO 4.0 (not 4.1) and I would like to default the "All values" selection to a specific value.
I have defined the input control using Var_Currency_Type (dimension) and have assigned two values i.e. 'USD' & 'Local Currency'. The default value is 'USD'.
The input control works fine. When I select either USD or Local Currency.
but, I do not see any table when I select 'all values'. I would like it to display 'USD' when user selects 'All Values'.
=======================================================================
In the format table (two tables - one for USD and one for Local currency), I have put in the formula:
x - Hide when following formula is true
=ReportFilter([Var_Curency_Type])<>"USD" -- for USD table
and = ReortFilter([Var_Currency_Type])<>"Local Currency" for Local Currency table.
======================================================================
Does anyone have encoutered this situation. Could you please share the solution?
Thanks for your time.

Input Control filtering in Offline Mode

This question relates to using a Webi report on the iPad. Current version is installed on the iPad.
I presumed when an Input Control (IC) is used, the data from the query is stored within the microcube of the document.
So when an IC filter value is used there is no need to go back to the database and query; the filtering is done by reading the microcube data.
So when I used an Input Control in a document that was being used in offline mode I was surprised when the IC icon showed "All Values" but I cannot open up the Values list to select a value to filter on in the Inout Control. I would have thought it was valid to expect the IC will still work in offline mode as there would be no need to go back to the data source. When making the connection active again the IC works again opening up the list enabling the selection of values to filter by.
So is it right that an IC in offline mode defaults to All Values and you cannot open the list to select a value to filter on?
It's BO v4.0 SP5.
Thanks

Hi All,
Answering to original post as there are other variants discussed in subsequent threads.
Though InputControl operation from MOBI does not touch the datasource, it needs to interact with BOE platform. This is because of the change in aggregation of data involved, when we change input control value.
Hence IC does not work out of the box for offline documents in MOBI.
Having said that, there is a way through which you can make input control values available for offline analysis, using Personal views.
(Open a webi document-->perform various selections of LOVs in input control-->save as personal view-->this personal view can be accessed in offline and you will be able to repeat the input control operations only for those LOVs which you already explored before saving the personal view)
We can refer MOBI user guide for more detail on personal view.

Input Controls - is it possible to change the font for a combo box

I have an input Control combo box that is a mixture of english/chinese characters. In Webi I can view the chinese characters correctly if I change the font to MingLIU. Is it possible to change the font for an input control OR to set a default font?

No Input controls in Web Intelligence Ritch Client ?

Hi,
I have got Web Intelligence Rich Client 12.1.0.882 ( the one from the Trial BO Edge)
I wan't to set Input Controls like Buttons, etc.
According to the Documentation "Building Reports with the Web Intelligence Java Report Panel"
( xi31_sp2_webi_java_en.pdf ) this is possible:
Chapter 19 "Filtering data using input controls"
Input controls defined
Input controls provide a convenient, easily-accessible method for filtering
and analyzing report data. You define input controls using standard windows
controls such as text boxes and radio buttons. You associate these controls
with report elements such as tables or section headers, and use the controls
to filter the data in the report elements. When you select values in the input
control, Web Intelligence filters the values in the associated report elements.
Anybody found the Input Control Tab ?
Where ?
Wrong version ?
Thanks
Martin

Hello Martin,
Thank you for your interest in that feature.
Input controls were delivered from Service Pack 2 of XI 3.1, and are available from all WebI clients, with that release level.
Version number you provide corresponds to XI 3.1, not XI 3.1 SP2, for which About... should display version number 12.2.0.290, reason why you haven't been able to find the feature.
Input control tab is available as an extra tab on the left hand side of Rich Client (by default), tab is simply called 'Input Controls', there are also a specific entry on some Report Element contextual menus (to facilitate input control definition from current selection).
Hope that helps,
David.

Input Control Limit

Hi,
Is there any limit on the number of lines (entries/values) which an Input Control can display? I am having an Object which has over 2000 values but I am not able to see all the values in Input Control. It just stops at some number.
I changed the settings - 'Number of lines' but that too is not affecting the report. Universe Parameters Control settings are all unticked, so no restriction there.
Is there any setting for input control on server or CMC?
Edited by: dacoffee on Nov 2, 2011 11:09 AM

Please try the below steps i got from BOB.
Hope this helps...
To increase the limit, from the default of 1000, do the following:
[1] In the CMC, go to the Properties screen for the WebIProcessingServer server(s).
[2] Modify the "List Of Values Batch Size (entries):" setting. The default is 1000. You can specify a value between 1000 and 65535 inclusive.
[3] Restart the WebIProcessingServer server(s).
[4] Restart the "AnalyticalReporting" web application, or, restart Tomcat if you are unsure how to restart individual applications.
The change should now take effect when working with Input Controls in the InfoView WebI Viewer and WebI Java Applet.
If you need to modify the LOV limit in WebI Rich Client, work through the following steps.
[1] Open the webi_client_default_parameters.xml file in a text editor, such as notepad. The default location for the file, on windows, is as follows:
<drive>:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\config\webi_client_default_parameters.xml
[2] Modify the following parameter:
Code:
<PARAMETER NAME="WebiParamListOfValuesBatchSize" VALUE="1000" TYPE="long" ADMIN="true" />
Modify the VALUE from the default of 1000.
[3] Save the file.
[4] Restart the WebI Rich Client

Sound is saying selected device has no input controls need help??(Motu Ultralite mk30

Hey all
I'm having problems with my new Motu. I have uploaded and installed all drivers including new uodate from MOTU direct! My iMac Pro is saying that the selected device has no input controls I have updated my iMac software now running OS X Lion 10.7.2. Have tried going through Firewire, unplugging rebooting everyway!! Also through USB both to no avail. I have sound through output and I can seee levels in the sound (System Preferences) so what am I doing wrong. I'm new to both mac and Logic but great with Cubase need your help....thoughts and any suggestions
Thanks MH

'selected device has no input controls' - this is because it doesn't need them - it's for interfaces which have no hardware level control: it doesn't affect whether it works or not, it's just that there is nothing to adjust.
Presumably the mixer has a main audio output: do you get audio out of this?
If no: then you haven't routed something correctly in the mixer.
If yes:
If you go into System Preferences>Sound, choose 'Input': can you see the mixer in the list?
If no: driver not properly installed
If yes:
Select the mixer as the input (this is for testing, it doesn't affect GB).
If you feed the mic into the mixer and you can hear it on the main audio output, do you see the meter in the Control Panel moving?
If no: the interface between the mixer and the computer needs looking at.
If yes:
In Garageband, check you have the mixer set as the input.
Record something on a track and play it back (having checked that playback of anything else, e.g. a loop. is OK): can you hear it?
If yes: enable monitoring in the track info.
If no: then we need to look more closely at the problem - please report back.

Bug: Universal app input controls (i.e. Start Menu, Task view buttons) ignoring and missing interpretative translation for legacy input control context request (right-click)

Redundant post - however the topic (title) is different to point out the potential of adding translation for right-click to universal app input controls. The part about a solution for translation is in bold at the bottom of this post ...
Bug: Universal app input controls (i.e. Start Menu, Task view buttons) ignoring and missing interpretation translating right-click to a left-click to activate context (menu) in universal app web style (similar to oo context menu for oo legacy style).
Bug: Task view: OO context menu: Should show "nothing" (like right-click Start Menu button) - but right click Task view shows the oo context menu for the Task bar (wrong context)
Besides behaving wrongly (should be like right clicking the Start button) ....
the problem is the user is likely to look for actions on that context menu.
However to activate the context menu for this universal app kind of behavior you actually need to left-click the button for the Task view ... and then you get the universal app like context menu.
Microsoft must have been trying to figure out what to do about this kind of voupling mismatch between legacy (right-click) and universal app (left-click) conmtext menus. confusing for users it weill become nevertheless.
But the left-click style supports touch.
One solution though is to support right-click on i.e. Task view and Start button. Thus for new kind (universal app kind-of)input controls - right-click will work (instead of just being ignored) just like left-click. Allthough not a correct left-click
- it will be helpful and interpretive translating the intension of receiving a context. A practical solution with right-click translating into left-click for universal app controls considering that the context menu actually has become a hybrid of left-click
and right-click (with a precedence for left-click though)

Hyperlink and Input Control

Hi,
Right now am struck at creating input control. Basically, the requirement is we have a crosstab onto which we have 3 measures based on the equipment group and type as shown in the below screenshot. When we click on any values from Active assets it navigates to child report and shows the info about active assets. Similarly, when clicked on Cumulative MTBF it should navigate to the same child report and show the table related to Cumulative MTBF. Now in child report what condition should I place so that on click of any of the measure ,respective table should be popped up and other tables should be hidden in the child report.
Thanks & Regards,
Anila.

Can input controls be used to change sections?

Hi,
I am trying to figure out a way to use the value of an Input Control to change the section dimension without having to create multiple copies of objects and hide/display them. I have a table with multiple measures and dimensions, including multiple dates (fiscal year, India fiscal year and calendar year). I want to section the report based on the input control selection so for ex, if the user selects fiscal year on the input control, the report sections are each fiscal year, if they select calendar year, the sections are each calendar year. I created a variable that uses a simple If statement to select the object based on the input control so for ex, if the input control selection is fiscal year, then the variable is equal to the fiscal year object. If I set the section header equal to the variable, it displays the different values in the header when I change the input control selection but it isn't really creating section blocks based on the object. Is this possible? It seems like it should be.

Let me share a PoC:
I have a block like:
Dim A
Dim B
Dim C
A1
B1
C1
A1
B2
C2
A2
B2
C1
A2
B2
C2
A2
B3
C1
A3
B1
C1
A3
B4
C1
A3
B5
C2
In Input Control I would like to have A/B/C option. Accordingly it will create section by Dim A/Dim B/Dim C.
Create two variables:
Input ="A"
Section =If([Input]="A";[Dim A];If([Input]="B";[Dim B];[Dim C]))
Now, I create a section on [Section] object.
Now, I create an Input Control on [Input] object:
Let us add custom list of values as below:
We are done !!!

Drill in BW hierarchy level in webi based on input control selection

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement in Webi. The Webi report is based on BW hierarchy and it is using hierarhcy both in the report output block and also in the report prompts. We are are BI 4.0 SP5,Patch 6. The report has input controls in it based on the BW Hierarchy. When the report is first executed,the user can drill down the hierarchy by clicking on the "+" nodes to the max level as shown in the screenshot below.
Now, when the user selects an input control, the data gets filtered but the hierarchy level automatically expands. In other words, when they select a data hierarchy showed in the input control the hierarchy in table is shown expanded and they want to see the hierarchy in the table close automatically.
So ideally its like this when a value from input control is selected.
Whereas the user wants it to be like this automatically on selecting a particular value from the input control and not in expanded form.
I'm aware of the Hierarchy depth function but that only takes us to a particular node based on depth and then doesn't allow further drilling after that.
Is there any setting in webi/bex about always keeping all sub nodes closed to prevent this expansion on selection of input control?
Thanks and regards,
Abhishek

Just did some research on on this and the SAP best practice: The question itself is logically incorrect.
A report/table filter where there is a hierarchy may remove rows without respecting the hierarchy structure. For this reason, a filter can remove a parent node currently expanded and keep leaves or
nodes collapsed. To avoid returning an empty table in this case the system automatically expands the hierarchy in the block to shows the resulting members
Thats why it automoatically expands the hierarchy.
Closing this thread. Thanks.

ADF Faces: How do I set values for input controls in an af:table

Use case: user enters master/detail information into an input form using an af:table for the desired number of detail rows.
I have an ADF Faces input form with master level input controls, and an af:table (bound to a backing bean CoreTable) for the detail data set.
The input controls are value bound to updateable view objects built from entity objects, with the appropriate view links providing master/detail iterators.
Once the user has entered the master keys (via inputTexts, and selectOneChoices), I create a row in the detail VO, thus creating a visible blank row in the af:table.
The user then completes the key for the detail row (in the af:table) by selecting a value in a selectOneChoice (in a af:column) with autoSubmit on and a valueChangeListener that sets the VO row attribute with the new value.
The user then continues to enter into the remaining inputTexts and selectOneChoices in the af:columns until all values have been entered.
I do not have autoSubmit on for any input controls in the af:columns other than the key, for performance improvement.
The user can then use a command button (which has an action method) to create another row in the af:table.
But, (in the action method) I need to set the values for the 1st detail VO row attributes, from the input controls, before creating another row.
The input controls are bound to backing bean CoreInputText and CoreSelectOneChoice objects, and they have not set their values at this point, even though I have partialSubmit on for the "New Row" command button.
I do not value bind the input controls in the af:columns to the backing bean objects, because we need to display data for all rows entered into the af:table.
Any advice on the best way to perform this operation would be very appreciated!!!!

Thanks for the reply Steve!!
Yes, I followed the techniques in Screencast#7, and it works great in my edit page.
But I am having problems with my input form.
I actually have master/detail/detail relationship for which I am creating an input form.
I created the input form as a copy of the edit form, and am making revisions as necessary.
I created new view objects for the input form (from my three entity objects), which have the "Tuning" set to retrieve "No Rows (i.e. used only for inserting new rows)"
I added an invokeAction that binds the "CreateInsert" action on the master iterator, so when the page is first displayed, the master level controls are available for data entry (as in 13.6.2 in the Developers Guide): but the first level detail controls are not rendered, and the af:table (for the second level detail) is rendered but with no rows.
Once the user enters key values for the master (a three part key), I manually create a first level detail row by executing the "CreateInsert" action binding for the first level detail iterator.
Continuing on, the user then enters a key value for the first level detail I manually create a second level detail row using it's "CreateInsert" action binding.
Now the user has a form with all master and first level detail controls completed and one empty row in the af:table for it's first entry.
The key column in the af:table has autoSubmit on, and an value change listener. That listener uses it's getNewValue() to set the key value ("locationCode" in this case) using
setLocationCode from the ViewRowImpl. Here is that value change listener:
public void locationChanged(ValueChangeEvent event) {
if (null != event.getNewValue()) {
LocObsCreateViewRowImpl locCreateRow = (LocObsCreateViewRowImpl)appMod.findViewObject("LocObsCreateView").getCurrentRow();
if (null == locCreateRow.getLocationCode()) {
locCreateRow.setLocationCode(event.getNewValue().toString());
Now comes my problem: once they have entered the values in the remaining columns, they can use a command button to create another row in the 2nd detail iterator, thus creating another visible empty row in the af:table. But the values from the first row (other than the key column) are not assigned to the row in the collection and I can't figure out how to set values in the collection's row.
I imagine I'm missing something using bindings and the Request Processing Lifecycle, and after reading this I can see how much manual work is going on.
The users have specified the need to have all information available on one page, so I've designed it so they can insert and iterate through the first level detail collection.
They have also asked to not use the mouse; they are looking for a "heads-down-data-entry" system.
Again, I really appreciate any advice you could give.

WEBI 3.1 Input Controls Label

I have a requirement to label all "Multi Select" input controls that filter my data block on the report itself. Traditionally, I have used DrillFilters() to label what drop-downs have been selected. Are there any options to do the same thing?
Thanks!

Hi Phil,
'Depending' or 'cascading' input controls is not yet supported, but we are working hard at providing that feature to a coming Web Intelligence release. Along with that important enhancement, we also would like to allow definition of input control on a wider scope than reports, i.e. any subset of report within a doc. As of now, input control can only be defined to control objects within a report (and not further).
Nevertheless, if you remain in the same report, you can define an input control to filter a report element, and set this report element (e.g. a simple table) to be an input control for another area in the report. This trick can help to mimic input control dependencies, but can still have some limitations leading to inconsistent results.
Hope that helps,
David.
