Default values on prompts values of publications

Hi experts,

I have a publication with webi documents that have prompts values by defect. I need to change those values in properties of publications but I didn't succeed. After my modifications I cheek them and the values of the prompts are still there.

The webi documents are based on Bex queries, could be the reason that I cannot change it?

Thank you by advance

Hi Oscar ,

You can change the prompt values in publication recurrence .

If you are using universe , then use "Not_Persistent" parameter in @Prompt to clear the saved LOV .

Hi Sateesh, That is not my case, I don't use universe for that reports. Fixing values in BW for prompt don't have sense to me nither. Strange situation, I have done this action thousands of times and never seen that I cannot change prompts values from Schedule publication. I tried rescheduling an old one and change the values of the prompts. I tried changing the values from properties prompt, and finally I tried to create a new Schedule with different values on prompt. No one of them is saving my changes to prompt. Any Idea?

Ho Oscar ,

Which version you are using?

We observed in BI 4.0 , prompt values will not get save (we'll not see the prompt values in schedule properties when rescheduling).But , instances will run for the changed values only.

Hi Sateesh, I'm using BI 4.0. Do you mean that I will not see the changed prompts values after changing on publication properties? I don't feel comfortable when I change the values on prompt properties of the publication and I save it and then I prove to open the publication properties again and changes are not reflected, does it work like that? thanks

HI Oscar,

If my understanding is correct you are changing prompt values in publication properties and those values are not appearing /changing in schedule .

Changing Prompt values in publication properties will not affect the prompts in Recurrence schedule.

Prompt value can be anything in the publication properties .When creating new schedule from publication we'll get saved values of prompts.
