I have two data providers with common dimension and
measures. The only difference between two data providers is
in condition 'Fiscal Year'.One data provider calculates for
current year and other one calculates for previous year. So
in prompts if I am passing 2008 as current year then the two
data providers should be able to calculate for current year
and previous year individually.

So Can anybody tell me how to do calculation in data providers.
( I am using BO WebI report )

Answer Posted / manisha

Create 2 objetcs at Univ Level ,
Current fiscal year =
to_char( sysdate,'YYYY')
Previous Fiscal Year =
to_number(to_char( sysdate,'YYYY'))-1

Now in the DP for the current fiscal yr, pull Current
fiscal year , measures will be automatically be computed as
per the current fiscal yr.

Regarding Hyperlinking in Business Objects. We have a few reports in QA environment where a number of hyperlinks are employed using OpenDoc function.In some of the reports,hyperlink is used to move to another tab within the same report.The formula used include "DocID" and ReportName="tab name".This works fine but now,for the PROD move,this will not work as the Doc Ids are subject to change. Is there a way to overcome this?Without DocID,how will move to a particular tab? Thanks in advance
