How do you create a measure using percentile_cont with multiple parameters?
I'm brand new to the Information Design Tool, but have been doing database work for decades. I'm working on a rather complicated universe to try to report on multiple turn-around time intervals on lab samples, and need to do multiple different percentile_cont measures, but want to have at least 6 and probably more dimensions over which I can calculate it, with user-accessible pull-downs in the final report. In addition, some of those measures have hierarchies that I also want to report on.
Here's a somewhat simplified example of what I need to be able to do:
Top tier 2nd tier 3rd tier 4th tier
All labs Lab Area Specific Lab Machine on which test was done
All tests Test type group Actual test
All enc types Inpatient/Emergency/Outpatient
Year Year+Month Date
So I need to be able to calculate percentiles for groupings such as:
All labs, fasting blood sugar, inpatient, February 2014
Lab #3, chemistry blood tests, emergency, YTD 2014
Machine #42, fasting blood sugar, all enc types, 5/21/2014
I have had very little luck so far in finding any sources (and fewer examples) on how to set up percentile_cont delegated measures at all, much less with parameters passed in from the report. One suggestion I read was to use @prompt in the "partition by" clause but that keeps throwing errors. I'm hoping I don't have to set up different measures for every possible set of grouping parameters...wish I could just set up a database PL/SQL procedure I could somehow pass through and skip the business objects layer entirely...another option would be to go to Java development but would prefer avoiding that if at all possible...
When I use the SQL Assistant to get started it puts in "PERCENTILE_CONT($1) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY ($2)) OVER (PARTITION BY ($3))" which isn't at all helpful...

Need help on oracle universe filter
Hi,
The code below is working for all records but its not working for "Last month" and "Current month" values. If I select "Last month" when running the report query, its not showing last month records instead showing all the records. Can you please advise?
to_char(fffdate, 'yyyymmdd') >= decode(@Prompt('Select time for which to run the report(or * for all):', 'A', {'Current Month', 'Last Month','*'}, MONO, CONSTRAINED,persistent,{'*'},User:0)
, '*', '*'
, 'Current Month', to_char((select sysdate from sys.dual), 'YYYYMM') || '01'
, 'Last Month', to_char(add_months((select sysdate from sys.dual), -1), 'YYYYMM') || '01'
)
AND
to_char(fffdate, 'yyyymmdd') < decode(@Prompt('Select time for which to run the report(or * for all):', 'A', {'ALL','Current Month', 'Last Month','*'}, MONO, CONSTRAINED,persistent,{'*'})
, '*', '*'
, 'Current Month', to_char(add_months((select sysdate from sys.dual), 1), 'YYYYMM') || 01
, 'Last Month', to_char((select sysdate from sys.dual), 'YYYYMM') || '01'
) OR '*' = '*'
Thanks.
Just to add further I am trying modify the filter to have "*" in the list so that the user can select it and retrieve all the records. The code is working fine if I remove '*' (all the letters blue in color). but when I put the value "*" its retrieving all the records but failing to get for "current month" and "last month" records. In other words, I am trying to make it optional.
Please advise. Thanks.

IDT Secured connection customizing connection string
We currently have a connection to MS SQL 2012 that we manage within Information Design Tool. We would like to be able to connect to the ReadOnly version of the database and would typically include the following parameter in the connection string: ApplicationIntent: ReadOnly. I have tried adding ApplicationIntent as a custom parameter but that did not work. I have not been able to find any additional information on doing this.
Is there any way to customize the connection string to include additional parameters?
We are currently on BOBJ 4.0 SP6, Patch 2.
Thank you,
Sarah

Filter condition should apply for each context created at universe!!
HI
Scenario:
--> I have 6 fact tables, so created six contexts.
--> All fact tables are having one dimension called -"Ref_Source"
--> We should apply filter on - "Ref_Source" field
Problem:
If I pull data from more than one fact/context [Each fact is having one context] table, the filter should apply for all the context/sql's generated.
But it's not happening in my queries. HOw to achieve this.
Note: if i use one fact table at a time it's working fine but if i try to use multiple facts it's not working.

@prompt to pass 2 values.
First let me say I am new to the SAP world, so if this is a simple question, then I am waving the newbie towel.
I have a list of values (based on custom SQL) that looks like the following:
DateName LoadDate DBName
Today 10/28/2014 DB1
Previous 10/27/2014 DB1
End of Month 09/30/2014 DB2
Previous EOM 08/29/2014 DB2
In my List of Value properties, LoadDate and DBName are hidden. For the column DateName I have set LoadDate as the Key Column. I have a prompt that will ask the user to select which date they want to run for and I have it passing the LoadDate correctly, but is it possible to also pass the DBName so that it ends up in the FROM clause. Here is what my current prompt looks like:
@Prompt('Select Load Date','A:DT','Load Date Filter':'datename',Mono,Primary_key,Not_Persistent)
I have tried using the security editor to create a new profile that will replace DB1 with the option that the user selected, but when I test within Webi, the prompt is trying the pass the LoadDate where it should be putting the DBName field.
Everything I have read seems to indicate that you can only pass 1 of the hidden values.
I am open for any suggestion, and can supply more information if need be.

Database functions in IDT
Hello,
I've seen you can use database functions in the IDT. I think that is true, but read there is some sort of setting that needs to be activated. Where is that located?
We're using DB2 and need functionality of items such as converting dates from GMT to CDT.

Restrict data for Current month and last two months
Hi Experts,
I am using BO 4.1 and I am a newbie to IDT.
I need to display Webi report for only three months dynamically. i.e. current month and last two months.
If Current month is October, then the report should display data for August, September, October.
Please note, the data should be restricted automatically and don't want to prompt users to select the month.
I know we can use the functions "month" and "CurDate" for this. Like: month(CurDate)
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Now, these functions didn't work in SQL Assistant/SQL Expression/SQL Definition of new Dimension object. It gives me error and I am not seeing these functions under fx.
Where should I use these functions to filter the data at the Universe or Query level? Kindly provide an example formula/function.
Please help!
Thanks in advance!!
