BusinessObjects Board

LOV in WebI

Dear All,

I have created the report, and in onsite they are deploying in Web Intelligence.

List of values for the prompts is appearing in Client machine.

After deploying it in WI. It is not showing the List of Values.

I am going thru the net for the solution, I got some idea from net that “In a WebIntelligence ASP environment, a BusinessObjects report (*.rep)
with the @prompt function displays an empty drop down list when the report is refreshed. “

Here I am using the @prompt in all the reports.

Is that problem due to this, or any other specific problem is there.

Could you please help me in this regards, it is somewhat urgent

Thanks & Regards,
Srinath

Hi Srinath,

If you have not exported the lov with the universe and the users are unable to refresh the list of values then the users will not see the lov.

Check the following;

  1. Are you exporting the lov with the universe (under object properties in designer).

  2. Under the Webi Configuration in supervisor (Select user or group, select the configuration tab, click on webi and select resource > properties), is the value “Refresh lists of values” enabled?

Bear in mind that exporting lists of values with the universe is not usually considered good pracrtise unless the lov has been customised is some way, the lov will slow down the universe import and will increase disk usage in the repository db.

Check these first and let me know how you get on.
