We are converting our reports from BRIO to BOXI. In BRIO we have 2 prompts that are cascaded ( To say in hierarchy Aprompt—> Bprompt).
A prompt cascades promt B.
When we try to implement the same in BOXI we couldnt, To implement cascading prompt we had 1st prompt(A) in Universe and the other in report level(B).
When i run the report ,B is right aligned with A(saying its been cascaded), but to match the SQL generated of BRIO and BOXI I need to add the same prompt A in report level also… which results in 3 prompts totally…
That is A—>B and again A
How to implement Cascading of prompts at Universe level itself to make it 2 prompts that is required or any other possible soln… ASAP plzzzz
“When i run the report ,B is right aligned with A(saying its been cascaded), but to match the SQL generated of BRIO and BOXI I need to add the same prompt A in report level also… which results in 3 prompts totally”
In BRIO cascading is internal… A pops up after B…When A is selected B is cacsacded automatically…
The SQL from BRIO has the 2 prompts in “where” condn(A and B)… where as in
BOXI ,since the 1st prompt is in Universe level(inorder to implement cascading) the SQL generated in BOXI doesnt hvae 1st prompt in “where” condn…
So i included 1st prompt “A” again at report level… So totally i got 2 times prompt A repeated… Which should be avoided…
In BOBJ, cascading of prompts is handled within the same prompt by modifying the LOV object
There is no need to create another prompt in webI to be reflected in the SQL, rather do it in universe
