BI 7.0 Reporting Clarifications

Dear all,
We have specific requirements in our WEB reporting as listed below, could anyone let us know the possibilities of doing these ?
1. Word Wrap - Column Headings for Characteristics (We are aware that it is possible for Key Figure Column Headings)
2. Word Wrap - Data dynamically for characteristic values (Eg. Customer from Canada should be displayed in 2 or 3 rows as we normally do in MS Excel)
3. Jump Targets - Using Counter values (Counters can be Calculated Key Figures or Stored in the InfoProvider)
4. Variable Selection based on Previous Selection like below, if the selection for PROD_CAT is CAT001 then only PROD01, PROD02 and PROD03 should be visible or displayed or fetched in the next variable selection (Drop Down)
PRODCAT_ | PROD
CAT01 | PROD01
CAT01 | PROD02
CAT01 | PROD03
CAT02 | PROD04
CAT02 | PROD05
CAT02 | PROD06
Kindly let us know if the above are possible in any way ?
Thanks!

Hi,
By jump target I think you meant Report to report Interface. Jumping from one report to another document. If it is yes, then it is possible.
Regarding word wraps, Iam not sure.
One thing is all the mentioned stuffs are possible in Crystal Reports.....

Finanical report clarification

Hi Friends,
Can any one can clarifies my doubt, which is on financial report -
Can we able to find "Hyperion financial report log who is running which reports and when" - using the FRUserLogin.log i could able to find the login user and time but not the ran reporting details. Is there any option to find out which report has been ran by the user.
any one help me on this clarification.
Thanks

In version 9.3.3 and above (11) you can turn on usage tracking in workspace under the Administer tab. This will dump stats to a database table, and I believe this includes which reports are being run. This specifc feature is not available in 9.3.1 and below...

Reconciliation Report Clarification Needed

Their is a report named "Locate Reconciliation in Bank Statement by Row Number" Under: Banking -> External Reconciliation.
In Query-Selection Criteria -> Visual Order (What is this?) and how to add account number in the list. As I can only see couple of accounts. Please advice.

Hi Paul,
Though we dont have a crystal Report for what you are looking at but I think our add-on Bank Reconciliation Inquiry would be a helpful tool. The add-on has a screen with some fields like GL Bank Account, Statement No, Statement Date and lower half is bifurcated into two sections column wise which shows in Section 1
<<Section 1- Values in Books>>
GL Balance
+Positive Adjustments
Sub Total
-Negative Adjustments
Ending GL Balance
In section 2
<<Section 2 - Values in Bank statement>>
Cleared With./Chks.
Cleared Inc./Dpsts..
Balance on Statement
+Out Standing Deposits
Sub Total
-Out Standing Checks
Ending Balance
Difference The difference between GL Ending Balance and Bank Statement Ending Balance is shown.
Anyway, I think this already getting a bit too complicated to inform about the add-on over this forum but I think this add-on would satisfy the requirement which you have presently. If you have an interest and would like to know more, please contact us off forum for detailed feature list and white paper for the add-on. There are more features coming up than just the above defined ones like list of all cleared/un-cleared deposits/payments/Adjustment each on a tab with further drill down facility!

Cheers,

in report MCBR it is showing the batches, hile there is no stock under these batches.plz let me know hy it is so?
plz help on this.
regards
jash
Edited by: diptasya jash on Feb 4, 2009 10:21 AM

hi
in MCBR info structure S038 - INVCO: Batches used
while MC.9 infostucture S039 - Inventory Controlling is used
now
u can check this stuctures in MCB4
so MCBR is used for materials with batches and the MC.9 is for total inventory
hope it clears

Report Painter - CO-PA Clarification

Hello All,
I have few clarifications on the below in CO-PA Reports, could somebody help me out.
1. In the report form, i have set the columns to display in number format of 10,00,000. when i execute the report in the initial screen i dont have any problem, but when i drill down by product or some other characteristics, i am getting an additional row on the top saying "Displayed in 10,00,000 inr" for each column. Is there any way to avoid this, i dont want this row to get displayed for the drill down display.
2. In one report, the requirement is to calculate rate variance for the product, the formula i had setup is variance between the plan minus variance between the actual * sales qty. Its working fine when both the values exists. When there is no value in plan variance and values exits for actual variance, the output comes as per the formula, but conceptually when i dont have any plan values for variance, it should not calculate rate variance for the product. How can i setup in the formula or row or by anyway saying if there is no plan variance, the the rate variance should calculate.
Request you to share your experience in this, please
Thanks

Hi,
Perameters in General Data Selection apply to the entire repost (every column and row). Since the four columns of your report are having different period and possibly different FY, you can not put these two parameters in General Data Selection. As my previous posting explained, in addition of standard variable &1PERIV and 1CGJAHE, you will need to define 3 more variables for period FY respectively:
Period Variable 1 - ZPERI2 - Formula: IF '&1PERIV' < 12 THEN '&1PERIV' + 1 ELSE 1
Period Variable 2 - ZPERI3 - Formula: IF '&ZPERI2' < 12 THEN '&ZPERI2' + 1 ELSE 1
Period Variable 3 - ZPERI4 - Formula: IF '&ZPERI3' < 12 THEN '&ZPERI3' + 1 ELSE 1
FY Variable 1 - ZGJAHR2 - Formula: IF '&1PERIV' < 12 THEN '&CGJAHE' ELSE '&CGJAHE' + 1
FY Variable 2 - ZGJAHR3 - Formula: IF '&1PERIV' < 11 THEN '&CGJAHE' ELSE '&CGJAHE' + 1
FY Variable 3 - ZGJAHR4 - Formula: IF '&1PERIV' < 10 THEN '&CGJAHE' ELSE '&CGJAHE' + 1
You then use variable 1PERIV and 1CGJAHE for column 1, ZPERI2 and ZGJAHR2 for column 2, ZPERI3 and ZGJAHR3 for column 3, and ZPERI4 and ZGJAHR4 for column 4.

Reviewed documentation on Reporting: I will appreciate some clarification

Hi,
Reviewed documentation on Reporting: I will appreciate some clarification:
1. Can you help me understand what "Staging" means as used here:
A data warehouse system serves primarily to stage information from various data source
The information is staged in various forms including personalized reports, freely definable queries, and predefined reports.
2. Is RemoteCube the same as Virtual Cubes? if not, what is the difference?
3. Can you help me understand what "flexible update" means as used here:
Characteristic InfoObjects have to be included in the InfoProvider tree in the Data Warehousing Workbench to make them available as data targets for flexible updates and as InfoProviders for reporting.
4. "DataStore Objects are available for transaction data and for master data."
When do we decide to store master data in a DSO?
5. Formula Collision vs. "Exception Aggregation"
I understand what formula collision is about but is it the same as "Exception Aggregation"?
If not, do you have a real-life example to help me understand the concept of "Exception Aggregation"?
The documentation/link is not helping.
6. i. With the followin limitation on Display attribute, why not always make the attribute Navigational?
"You can show Display Attributes in a report in the drilldown. However, navigation steps are not possible. (For example, you cannot choose values from a display attribute as a filter.)"
ii. Any example where Nav Attrib does not make sense but it must be Display attrib?
Thanks

Hi Amanda,
2. Is RemoteCube the same as Virtual Cubes? if not, what is the difference?
Yes, they are one and the same.
3.Can you help me understand what "flexible update" means as used here:
Characteristic InfoObjects have to be included in the InfoProvider tree in the Data Warehousing Workbench to make them available as data targets for flexible updates and as InfoProviders for reporting.
in 3.x, you have infosources and not transformations. So you have basically two types of infosources, direct update and flexible update.
Direct update infosources do not have any update rules. These are used for master data loading since the format of data is usually fixed as in fields etc.
Flexible update datasources have update rules, which means that you can use it for loading pretty much anything. You can load master data by changing the update rules and you can use the same infosource for loading transactional data as well. What the statement means is that the infoobject has been set as an infoprovider. and therefore it can be used as a source in a query. The loading is done via flexible updates.
More info on direct and flexible updates can be found here :[3.x InfoSource Types|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/87/3fdf9587f211d5b2ff0050da4c74dc/frameset.htm]
5)Formula Collision vs. "Exception Aggregation"
I understand what formula collision is about but is it the same as "Exception Aggregation"?
If not, do you have a real-life example to help me understand the concept of "Exception Aggregation"?
The documentation/link is not helping.
I'm glad that you understand what formula collision is...since its a difficult concept. Exception aggregation is much simpler.
For every key figure that is present in BW, there are two types of aggregations that can be maintained.
Standard: can be sum etc.
and exception aggregation like avg etc. When you do this, you need to give a reference characteristic. By default this is time. and usually it is summation. Now when you drilldown in your query based on the ref. characteristic, the exception aggregation is used.
Eg [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/d2/e0173f5ff48443e10000000a114084/frameset.htm]
6. With the followin limitation on Display attribute, why not always make the attribute Navigational?
"You can show Display Attributes in a report in the drilldown. However, navigation steps are not possible. (For example, you cannot choose values from a display attribute as a filter.)"
ii. Any example where Nav Attrib does not make sense but it must be Display attrib?
Essentially this is a preference or a personal choice basically. You can have several attributes. but keeping all of them as navigational does not help and degrades system performance as they have to be interlinked. For eg.
You have an employee ID as your characteristic.
attributes are as follows
Date of birth
division
salary stack
*** etc
now things like division,salary stack and *** could be used as filters in a query but date of birth would in general not be used as filter and hence would make no sense to use it as a navigational attribute(unless you want to find all employees whose birthday is a certain date ).
In the end, it just comes down to the requirement. If you are required to put a filter on an attribute of master data, then it needs to be a nav. attribute else a display attribute would suffice.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

Clarification on Report UMG_R3CHECK_FILES

Hello All,
I am working on Combined upgrade and Unicode project from R/3 4.7 to ECC 6 with Ehp 4. Currently running the Unicode pre-conversion steps and I would like to have your clarification in executing the report UMG_R3CHECK_FILES
As per the CU & UC guide i have executed the report and also checked the note 89384. I would like to know should i create the control files from SAP system using the report or at Operating system level (with <SID>adm logon) as mentioned in the note.
Also I have created a folder in application server with full rights for <SID>adm. Later when i try download the files from SAP referring to this path there are no files downloaded and no error occurs. Its going blank.
Any help on this would be much appreciated
Regards,
Anand

Hi Anand,
You need to get the list of all cluster tables in place, from that Report UMG_R3CHECK_FILES, there is a download button on top left. Select the place where you want to download all scripts.
This report should only be used together with transaction SPUMG during the preparation of a system for the conversion to Unicode. The report creates control files for R3check as described in note 89384.
For more information about the transaction SPUMG, please refer to the 'Unicode Conversion Guide' which is available as attachment of note 551344
For each cluster table, you need to run below, better to make script and execute, try with first then move forward,
Assuming you downloaded all scripts in path /tmp/CLUSTER (with SIDADM 775 ownership)
SIDADM> cd /tmp/CLUSTER/
make fie vi CDCLS.txt
export file='/tmp/CLUSTER/'
dumping=yes
client=<nnn> -- only prod client
select * from CDCLS.......one bye one for all for all tables.
save it as CDCLS.TXT
2. Path check, cd /tmp/CLUSTER
SIDADM> R3check CDCLS.TXT
You will get the result in trans.log in same path.
3. So on for all cluster tables.
Make sure where you execute file,
1. try to build txt files for all cluster tables scripts via report.
Run it in same place like /tmp/CLUSTER -- like above example
2. Now you need to run R3check for all control files, you can run in parallel, it will take some time to give output, depends on your cluster table size.
I hope you are doing for sandbox or dev system.
Let me know if any issue.
Regards,
Amit Lal

Urgent Clarification seeking on R12 Account Analysis Report

Hi Guys
I have an urgent requirement regarding R12 Account Analysis Report.
As per Metalink Doc ID : R12 GL Standard Reports Do Not Display Source And Line Item Data [ID 836847.1] ..Account Analysis report in R12 application does not display any value for Source/Line item column as data in gl_je_lines reference columns are not available.
Do we have any replacement report or any other way to get this info in R12 since it was available in 11i. It is creating lot of problem for reconciling the AP/GL
It will be good if you can reply ASAP.
Thanks
Ajeesh

Hi
I believe you can modify the standard account analysis template (RTF using the responsibility "XML Publisher") and include the field for source. This field is available as a standard XML tag in the report. This is a very little effort and can be done quite easily.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any clarity in this respect.

Need clarification on no of datasets in a report

Hi All,
Please let me know is it required to place only one dataset in a report to get the print and layout options perfectly(Designing).
Waiting for valuable replies.

Number of datasets have no relation with print and layout. The number of datasets depends on how many data sources you want to get the data from and in how many different wasys.

Clarifications about Query Builder and Additional Default Layout in Reports 6i

1) Is Query Builder re-entrant in Reports 6i? If yes, what is the method. As when I tried to re-eter, it gave me message '..... Syntax Error'.
2) IN 'ADDITIONAL Default Layout', Reports 6i does not allow group field to be
included in 'the fields to be printed' list. It allows but in next tab it omits that group field.
As a result no repeating frame for the Group is generated in the 'ADDITIONAL Default Layout'.
What is wrong?
Pl. guide.
Tariq

2) IN 'ADDITIONAL Default Layout', Reports 6i does not allow group
field to be included in 'the fields to be printed' list. It allows
but in next tab it omits that group field.
As a result no repeating frame for the Group is generated in >the 'ADDITIONAL Default Layout'. Not sure I fully understand the question but you seem to be saying that if you select a field in the ADL tool, it doesn't show up in the layout. This can only happen if you select a field in the "Fields" tab from a group you haven't selected in the "Groups" tab.
Ideally Reports shouldn't show these fields since you haven't selected the groups. Unfortunately it does and you need to ensure all the appropriate groups have been selected in the "Groups" tab.
At least it will tell you if you have selected a group but haven't selected any fields for the group or if you haven't selected enough groups for the type of layout you're trying to create.

That document is pretty old last modified March 2013 so I would say it's out of date. The reporting services are still pretty new in the current release I believe 7 days is limit for the Rest Endpoint and the Get-MessageTrace cmdlet (which is what
the more recent documentation around message tracking say) there is no REST endpoint for Start-HistoricalSearch you can see all the current endpoints by looking at the Metadata via
https://reports.office365.com/ecp/reportingwebservice/reporting.svc/$metadata
These services are evolving so new features and reports are added which is explained in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/office/jj984346(v=office.15).aspx . But there is no public information on Timeframes and what reports and features are going to be added in future updates (that I know of). If you need data older then
7 days then Automating the HistoricalSearch cmdlets would be the way to do it for now.
