I'm afraid my friend .. Voyager is not so friendly yet.. powerful but not so friendly.... u cant create the prompts. 5. check the exception highlighting. Ranks Sorts etc etc etc ... 6. yes very much... we can use universe to access the data using Voyager. need to create a connection in CMC for that.and need to configure it with that universe.. By the way .... from where did you get these questions.. As these are the same questions that i asked 2 weeks back in my mail to my competency head .... in my company....and fortunately the language is 100% same... neways it feels good to answer yourself. thanks that you gave me a chance. :) hi vivek…..

the answers to all the question is as follows:

1. yes we can do that … create different connections for different cubes and then use one connection to access data in one crosstab only…. u cant use more than one cube in one cross tab.

2. not sure yet but i guess yes…

3. yes very much but only from BO XI 3.1 version.. as this feature doesn’t exists in BO XI 3.0 or lower versions….

4. I’m afraid my friend .. Voyager is not so friendly yet.. powerful but not so friendly….
u cant create the prompts.

5. check the exception highlighting. Ranks Sorts etc etc etc …

6. yes very much… we can use universe to access the data using Voyager.

Can we access data from 2 different cubes on one Voyager workspace? For Ex: We can have a max of 4 components in a BO Voyager workspace. Out of which 2 are crosstabs. So, for one crosstab we are getting the data from one cube and for the other we are getting the data from another cube. Can we do this? 2. As we can access a Voyager workspace through Web I, Crystal reports and OLAP intelligence. but Can we access a Voyager workspace through Dashboard? 3. Can We access other docs(webI, Crystal rep, and OLAP I) through Voyager workspace? ( I guess NO as we dont have that hyperlinking functionality in Voyager) 4. Can we create Prompts in voyager workspace? (My guess is NO we cant create prompts in BO voyager). If no then is there any alternative to that?? 5. What are the different kind of Analytics that we can add in a BO Voyager workspace? 6. As we know that Voyager was earlier OLAP intelligence the difference was OLAP intelligence use to sit on top of a Universe to fetch data from the cubes whereas Voyager directly accesses the data from the cube. Can we use voyager to access data through a universe?? regards Vivek Need some info for one of the Project.

Unfortunately and very unprofessionally I do not have my XIR3 virtual machine handy, I will have to build a new one from scratch before I can investigate this personally. I saw that you have also logged this on the BOB forum : http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?p=577898&sid=dc2f2ee645e7af24e8c1cf12415a314e Hopefully you will get a speedy turn around from the wider audience that that site gets. Apologies for not being much help this time. Ross Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, it’s been a hectic week.

Select Column:') or '*ALL*' IN @variable('3. Select Column:') In 6.5 it works fine but in XI R3 DESKI it doesn't. Any idea how to fix it? Hi Ross,

My reports are in DESKI XI R3, migrated from BO 6.5 where I had used this syntax by editing report SQL to get ‘ALL’ in LOV of the prompt

Table.Column IN @variable(’3. Select Column:’) or ‘*ALL*’ IN @variable(’3. Select Column:’)

In 6.5 it works fine but in XI R3 DESKI it doesn’t. Any idea how to fix it?

However, your example was focused on WebI reports. Is the same feature working on DesktopIntelligence, too? Kind regards Urs Hi Ross

The second screen shot shows the radio button for "optional prompt". That should do the trick.

That should do the trick.

I'm trying to set the propmt as optional but I can't see the option to make it as optional (Prompt Properties dialog box with Optional button). I see the box without that optional check. Am I missing any settings? Your help would be highly appreciated. Regards Selva N Hi Ross,
