XMLP Parameter And BIEE Dashboard Prompt "All Values"

Hi Gurus,
I want to insert a XMLP Report in the BIEE Dashboard and use a Dashboard Prompt as parameter in the Report.
There is a way to use the "All Values" value of the prompt?
I write a XMLP data model as:
select dim_1.Attribute as Dim from BIEESubjectArea where dim_1.Attribute = :Parameter;
Parameter is return by the BIEE Dashboard.
It works for all different value of the Parameter but not if I select the "All Values"
There is a way to make it works?
Regards,
Daniele

Hello Daniele,
When 'All Values' is selected (for Show), it basically displays all values avaliable for the parameter. Are you talking about 'All Choices' option? Selecting 'All Choices' will pass null values and you would have to modify your answers filter to accomodate that.
Take a look at the following: http://108obiee.blogspot.com/2009/04/detecting-all-choices-from-dashboard.html
Hope that helps!

Passing multi-value parameter from BIEE dashboard to BIP report

It is possibile passing multi-value parameter from BIEE dashboard prompt to BI Publisher integrated report? (BIP report has a DB data source (not a answers))
Thank you
R.

Hi Rajkm,
In order to pass a multi-value parameter through the Reporting Services Web services, you need to define the same numbers of ParameterValue objects as the number of the values of the multi-value parameter being past into the report. The Name property
of these ParameterValue objects must be specified same to the parameter name.
I found a good FAQ article for this scenario:
How do I pass a multi-value parameter into a report with Reporting Services Web service API?:

Pivot prompt 'All Values' problem

Hello,
I got problem when go to the detail link report after I choose the parameter using Pivot Prompt.
I have Pivot Prompt named Grade which values : Grade A, Grade B and the default is All Values.
When I choose All Values, the table filtered properly , here is the table content:
Performance Employee
A 4
B 7
When I clicking in Employee value in order to show detail report, then it showed no data, because the grade name filter show:
Grade name is 'Grand Total'
Why if i choose 'All values' in pivot prompt it pass 'Grand Total' parameter to detail report?
what I must do to exclude this 'Grand Total'? I use
CASE WHEN "Dim - Grade"."Grade Name" = 'Grand Total' THEN '' ELSE "Dim - Grade"."Grade Name" END
But it not help at all.

Can I set a Session Variable from a Dashboard Prompt, using values that are

Hi All
Trying to set a Session Variable to an integer value, by letting users select a text value from the drop-down list on a Dashboard Prompt. The goal is to set the input parameter to the IndexCol function, but to provide the end users with a text description of what they are setting.
Select Value Set Variable Value
My 0
My Team 1
My Companies 2
My Teams Companies 3
Any suggestions on how to accomplish this? Certainly we could populate the drop-down from a data source, however I don't see how to populate a variable with something other than the values on the screen.
The IndexCol function is referenced in a Filter in Answers, and I'm thinking to populate a Session variable using the (Presentation) variable value set from the prompt. But how to do this? I see a reference to a function NQSSetSessionValue(), but cannot find documentation on how it works.
Any clue will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi kishore..
Looks like the link u have sent uses advanced SQL tab to set session variables. I want to know if I can use "set variable NQ_SESSION.myvar= @something" in the "SQL results" -while creating a dashboard prompt-.
Purpose: I want the session variable to be set based on whatever report that im currently in.
And i dont want to use presentation variables because im using a reset button in my page.
My reset script resets presentation variables and NOT session variables.
Thanks in advance

Pass a parameter from BI Dashboard Prompt to BI Publisher Report

Issue with Dashboard Prompt passing value to Presentation Variable

I have 2 tabular reports that grab 2 variables respectively: @Month and @Year.
The reports work fine.
My issues is that to compute the most recent month & year, so I can pass the values to the 2 variables mentioned above, I have a dashboard prompt on the same page as the 2 reports. In the dashboard prompts (Edit Box types), I have SQL in the "Default" that computes the most recent month & year. This logic also works perfectly when you preview the results of the prompt.
My issue is that when I land on the page, it seems that the month & year prompts are not computing. I have an old value of "Dec" "2009" instead of "May" "2010".
It seems the Default SQL logic is NOT running on its own? As an aside, we do our development in a test environment and the catalog is promoted to production nightly. The "Dec" and "2009" I see is the correct value for the test environment, so it looks as if the defaul values are just being migrated with the catalog, but then the SQL to compute the latest values of the 2 propmts are never executing when the user lands on the page? Thus everyone sees Dec 2009 data instead of May 2010...Help!

If I am wrong please clarify.

Dashboard Prompt using values not from the table

Hi,
I have a requirement from the client to design a dashboard report like the following.
Dashboard prompt will have 4 filters, three filters come from the table, but the fourth filter will have 3 values not from the table. The fourth filter will have values like "Report with Sales Amount", "Report with Purchase Amount", "Report with both Purchase and Sales". I have three different Table reports designed for each of the fourth filter choices. But how do I implement it, both in the dashboard prompt as well as navigating to the rite report based on the selection.
Is my approach correct.
Thanks for your time and help.

The fourth prompt where you have "Report with Sales Amount", "Report with Purchase Amount", "Report with both Purchase and Sales" you pull a dummy column into the prompt and write a sql in show.
would be something like
SELECT Case when 1=0 then "Dimension- Customer"."Cust Name" else 'Report with Sales Amount' end FROM Sales UNION SELECT Case when 1=0 then "Dimension- Customer"."Cust Name" else 'Report with Purchase Amount' end FROM Sales
and in the prompt set a presentation variable say var_criteria
Now create report2 for with a some randomn column and another column will have the values that you want to display for example 'Report with Sales Amount'
Create a filter on the 2nd column and reference the presentation variable var_criteria and default it to 'Report with Sales Amount'
On the dashboard page in the section place the report and enable guided navigatoin by selecting report 2.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
thanks,
deep

Problem with dashboard prompt initial value (OBIEE 11g)

Hi alli,
I have a problem with dashboard prompt and session variable in OBIEE 11g.
I have declared a session non-system variable which I set/change with dashboard prompt. At login the variable is initialized in initialization block that gets a value from an SQL select statement.
When I change the value in prompt, the session variable changes accordingly, as it should (change is made by calling function NQSSetSessionValue() within javascript function). While I am in my dashboard, cruising around pages the variable stays the same, and when I return to the page that has prompt on it, the correct value is shown. Everything works fine.
The problem occures when I go to Catalog (in presentation services) to create some new Answers. When I return back to the same page in dashboard (which has a prompt), the prompt selected value and session variable are set back to the default value. It looks like the initialization block is executed again.
My prompt is configured like this:
- Choice List Values: SQL Results
- Default selection: Variable Expression (@{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.VariableName']} )
- Set a variable: Presentation Variable
Is there a way to stop the initialization block from executing again? Isn't it logical that the initialization block executes only at login, when the session variable is empty? I don't need it to execute every time i come to the dashboard.
Thanks in advance,
Marko

Passing parameter to a Dashboard prompt

Hi,
In this case i cant pass the number value to the target report.
P4=eq&P5="IsyeriTanimlari"."DWH_ISYERI_KOD"&P6="Isyeri"."IsyeriKodu"
Also when i use
P9='||CAST("Time"."GUN" AS char)||' when i right some more parameter after this cast it cant take the parameters that ones put this cast one:?
''||'Kampanya'||'<a>'

Hi Tani,
Just to make sure, you're passing a parameter to a Dashboard and not Answers right?
Here's the syntax I've had success with:
http://localhost:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&Action=Navigate&PORTALPAGE=<path of dashboard>&Page=<page path, this is optional>&col1=<full column name>&val1=<value>
In your case the following should work:
http://localhost:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&Action=Navigate&PORTALPAGE=<path of dashboard>&col1="IsyeriTanimlari"."DWH_ISYERI_KOD"&val1=<value>&col2="Isyeri"."IsyeriKodu"&val2=<value>
Hope that helps!

OBIEE 10g Dashboard Prompt Multiple Values

A dashboard prompt is applied to filter on Regions, however the issue we're facing is that the region values show up multiple times (1000's). We want to show each value once and I read about 2 solutions:
1) Apply a select distinct SQL on the prompt - This does not work for us since the region is also a key field in the drill down (region consists out of states), the drill down overrules the select distinct and the prompt still shows multiple values. Any ideas?
2) Apply a cast to char on the dashboard prompt field - The values show up only once, however now the dashboard prompt does not get applied to the reports. Looking at the SQL nothing seems to come back from the database. This might have to do with the fact that the region data type in the business layer is VARCHAR with a max of 30, thoughts? I tried updating the cast to varchar(30) but that had no effect.
The cast sql is simple and looks like this:
SELECT CAST ("zzz"."Region" as char) FROM ...
Hopefully anyone can help us with this problem. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips!
1. No, it does not happen when the column is the only item in a report
2a. I updated the cast to a varchar and added the distinct because that seemed easier than changing the field types in the rpd. The new SQL looks like this:
SELECT DISTINCT CAST("zzz.Region" AS varchar(10)) FROM ...
2b. Also joining to a table with extra region information (the sequence how we present the values to the customer) provided unique values:
Select "zzz.Region" FROM ... ORDER BY "zzz."Region Sequence"
With both solution we force OBIEE to execute the SQL differently so that the key field in the dimension does not throw off the numbers

Dashboard Prompt (All Choices) using Narrative View

Using Narrative View I can display LOVs of Prompt but when the (All Choices) selected, how to display using Narrative View?

In Your criteria Create a column with foruma like the below
CASE WHEN '@{psitename}{All}' = '' THEN 'ALL' else '@{psitename}{All}' end
And now in your narrative of the report, Add @2 if the above column is in second place of criteria. Add this narrative in you compound layout. Hide the column if you dont want show it in table view.
This code works in 3 cases.
1. If variable is null then it shows default value - All
2. If variable is selected to all choices then it shows ALL
3. If you select any site, that shows site name.
let me know if does not work for you..

Changing 'All Column Values' in dashboard prompt

In OBIEE 11g, how to modify the dashboard prompt All label value? I do not want to change value in XML file , because it will impact all dashboard prompt value.
Is it there better method to implement this problem?
For example:
In dashboard prompt-->edit -->options--->tick 'Include "All Column Values" choice in the list', so I can view '(All Column Values)' value in prompt. Customers want to changed this value,such as 'all values'. Is it possible? Thanks.

Hi,
Can do it using Union All is prompt SQL and presentation variable in report.

How to pass dashboard prompt value to requests in folder

Hi,
I want to have a dashboard page that contains dashboard prompt for period and list with requests (for this I add Folder and select "Expand folder").
If I use dashboard prompt to set presentation variables, the chosen value is not passed to requests in folder list and as I understand this is the way presentation variables work. Therefore I tried to use Request variable, but get the same result - value that is chosen in dashboard prompt, influences request only if it is shown in dashboard not if I open it from folder list.
Steps I did:
(1) Created session variable "Period", that users can alter. Initialization block is simple dummy select - Select ’2008.08’ from dual;
(2) Created dashboard prompt that sets Request variable Periods;
(3) Created report with session variable value in it:
SELECT Time."Period code" saw_0, VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.Period) saw_1 FROM "TEST" WHERE Time."Period code" = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."Period") ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1
If I include this report directly in dashboard, it shows the session value that is set from dashboard prompt, however when I open it from folder list, it shows the default value 2008.08 although I have stayed in the same session.

Iza, you are correct in your assumption regarding passing Presentation Variables to reports that are in the Folders object. If you have a dashboard prompt on the same page as the Folders object, then even if you select a value in the prompt, it will not pass when you click on the report name in you Folders object.
Here is something you might want to consider to achieve what I think you are trying to do. Instead of having the Dashboard prompt on the first page, create a "table of contents" home dashboard page. What I mean is:
1) First, create a Dashboard page with the prompts you wish to filter a report with and set the default values. Save this as the template dashboard page. Now, with a second copy of this template, drag one of your reports to this page. Save it. Using your dashboard template page, create another copy and drag the second report to this page. Save. Do this for each report you wish to display. Note that you can drag more than one report to a dashboard page.
When you are done, you will have several dashboard pages, each with one or more reports and the dashboard prompts on the top of the page.
2) Now on your "home page," drag the Link or Image to a section. Link this object to the first dashboard page you created in step one. Name the link the title of your report. If there are more than one report on this page, title the link appropriately. Click the "open in new window" checkbox. Drag a Link or Image object for each dashboard page you created in step one.
When you are done, this home page will look similar to your Folders object, with links to each of your dashboard pages that contain the reports. When the user clicks on the link, the appropriate dashboard page will appear with the dashboard prompts and the report will be filtered on the default values. Now the user can change the values of the prompts as desired. When the user is done, he/she can close the window and he/she will be taken back to the home page to select another report.

Presentation Variable - Display 'All Values' in Report Title

If I create a Dashboard Prompt and then set it equal to a Presentation Variable, I then display this Presentation variable in the report title. For the Dashboard Prompt I allow them the 'All Values' choice, in fact, this is the default.
The issue is displaying this in the Report Title, when it is 'All Value' nothing is display in the title, when they select a value such as 'Region D' then it works and this value will dispaly.
I looked at the documentation and it says you can use a default value, however, setting up that still does not work. It still is blank.
Has anyone seen this issue or know of a workaround? I'd like to have something like 'All Vales' display or is there a condition I could write to set this.
Thanks

Hi Guys,
I have did the following in order to achieve your requirement:
As usual, create a request with a column prompted and a dashboard prompt containing that column and set the Presentation Variable (ex: varDept)... bla bla..
Placed them on the Dashboard to generate your issue, discussed...
Now, what I have did is:
1. Created one more Request with the column used on Prompt and specified the Formula to it as:
CASE WHEN '@{Dept}'||'A'='A' THEN 'All Departments' ELSE '@{Dept}' END
Note: Take 2 same columns (and hide one) because we are using above formula which does not contains the Column from any table.
2. Created Narrative View and referenced the above Column.. @2 (in my case).. and specify 1 in 'Rows to Display' field. Do the formatting as required viz., specifying Font size, family....
3. Place this request in between the Prompt and First Request..
Now, you can able to see 'All Departments' if 'All Choices' is selected.
Hope this idea will helps you guys..
