Hi all,
Now it is possible to use all types of variables in the title.It has been acknowledged as a defect with bug no.:6019292.The effective solution they have provided is as follows:
For session variables:
@{biServer.variables[‘NQ_SESSION.variablename’]}
For repository variables:
@{biServer.variables[‘variablename’]}
For your reference this is the overview of OBIEE Variables Chart:(From http://siebel-essentials.blogspot.com/2008/09/oracle-bi-ee-variables.html))

If I use @{biServer.variables[‘staticvariablename’]} for a static repository variable in a title field I just get the code used to set the value. A dynamic repository variable displays fine.

Hi Shiva
Very good posts
Shiva can you give us an overview of presentation variables and how to use them in answers
also if you can share your views on briefing books it will be nice for us.
Can you also let us know the shared logon feature in connection pooling and why its used
Looking forward

Hi Shiva,
Thanks for the post, it is useful information.
There are 2 prompts on a dashboard, the first prompt sets a presentation variable (PV) and the second prompt is populated based on the 1st prompts’ PV value. This is coming up fine, however, we need the default value also to be populated based on the PV value. The version we are using is 10.1.3.3.2. Please suggest a workaround/solution if you have come across this issue.
Thank you,
Sethu

Hi Shiva,
I have a requirement where on selecting a value from a drop down (filter) a quivalent unique key (primary key) needs to be used as part of the query used by OBIEE.
For eg:
I have Region Names shown as part of drop down (filter).
Now when the user selects North America, the associated id say 7 has to be used in the query by OBIEE insetead of Select … From .. Where regionName = ‘North America’ it has to use Select … From .. Where regionId = 7.
Is this achievable in OBIEE? If yes, do help me.
thanks,
Senthil

Respectable!
I am new to OBIEE. It becomes a challenge for me to pass variables from dashboard prompts and to catch their value in Answer’s Request.
I would like to illustrate it with an example.
Request based on the following SQL statement
Select NAME, AGE, CITY, ADDRESS
From emp
Where DOB = ‘@{p_date}’
Now DOB is in TIMESTAMP format,
it looks like ‘11/1/2009 12:00:00 AM’.
Dash board Prompt also depends upon the same column and have also same TIMESTAMP format.
In next step
I create a dashboard page
Place prompt and report there
Saved the dashboard
Now I select a date from prompt list and press go button
It shows no result.
I tried several combinations in @1 syntax e.g.
Where DOB = ‘@{p_date}’
Where DOB = ‘@{p_date}{1-nov-2009} ’
Where DOB = cast (@{p_date} as date)
Where DOB = cast(to_char(@{p_date}, ‘dd-mmm-yyyy’) as date)
…………………….
And many other combinations
I am looking for any help/tips in this regard

Hi
Small Requirement.
By default in OBIEE we will have Sub Total and Grand Total
Now I wan to change according to the prompt I want to select.
i.e, In stead of sub total I want total for that value which ever I select in prompt
For example: If I select a in prompt then
Sub total should display like total for a and if i select b it should display total for b and if select both in multi select then I should get both
how can we achieve that in OBIEE
Thanks

Hi Shiva,
I was wondering if there is any way to use presentation variables in calculated items in the pivots? I tried using the variables using the syntax @{variable_name} but to no success.
Hope you can shed some light.
Thanks,

Shiva,
I am new to Oracle BI and both the online documentation and the help documents don’t have the right syntax to display the repository variable in the title.
Your solution helped me.
Appreciated.
