Can Data Links be established between Data sets based on View Objects?

Hi all,
In the BI Publisher Documentation it's given that Datasets based on view object queries do not support Data Links / Group Links. We found out that only way to establish relationship between view object Datasets is to create a view link and then upload it to create a Dataset.
1. Is there any other way to establish relationship between view objects Datasets in DataModel editor itself just as in the case of data sets based on (SQL queries e.t.c.)?
2. If so can View object Datasets be linked to Datasets based on other Datasources?
3. Will the Datalinks for View object Datasets be supported in any of the upcoming releases. Is there any ER logged for this case?
Any insight on the above issues will be really helpful.
Thanks

Enhance the data source with date and time and populate these fields in the user exit using the function module IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP .
OR
You can create Z function module IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP in BW side and write a routine in update rules/transfer rules to populate date and time.
hope this helps ...

Problems with data import to Static view object... Need help...

Hi! I have problem when I import data to my Static View object from *.csv.
I followed tutorial - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/web.1111/b31974/bcquerying.htm#CEGCGFCA
Lets take a look to Figure 5-14 Sample Data Ready to Import from CSV Flat File. There are 3 columns. For Example in column C I have only lines. Bun in A and B column I have all 5 lines. I want to import data from one CSV file. So when I imported data and have some empty fields in column C. When I create SelectOneChoice object in my form, and run it, then it takes also empty fields as choices in my SelectOneChoice object. It is when I create Select one choice from column C Why it is so? And what to do?
Waiting for response from anyone...
Best regards!

HI! Can someone give me opinion on my problem?

Oracle Business Intelligence How to choose data set based on a condition

Hi,
I am using Oracle Business Intelligence for creating reports, i am facing a situation where i have two quries (data sets in BI), one to display a Failure message and other to fetch data from the table to be displayed in the report.
The problem is i am unable to choose which data set to run based on a condition. How to use a condition based on which the dataset will be run
For example : i will read a table column value if it is 'S' means success, then i have to run the dataset to fetch the data from the table.
If the column value has 'F' then i have to run the dataset which will display failure message
Please let me know if any of you have any idea on this
Thanks in advance

Hi Chinna,
You have to use some scripting as well as coding to perform the tasks listed by you. First of all make your form Dynamic, In your Adobe lifecycle Designer, open your form,
Goto, File --> Form Properties,
Goto the Defaults tab,
Select "Dynamic PDF" for the XDP Preview Format:
Click OK.
This setting will now allow dynamicity in your Form, when you view it in PDF Preview tab.
For Hiding/Unhiding the fields/SF, you can use the presence property and set it based on the conditions. like:
if (this.rawValue == null)
TextField1.presence = "hidden";
For your second task, you may map a method corresponding to onSubmit event of the IF and write the code to create the workflow and make RFC call here.
For third one, you need to convert the PDFObject from Binary context into a byte array and save it at appropriate location.
Hope I have answered all your queries.
Cheers,
Arafat

OAF Export button fetching data in one column - view object using union all

Dear All,
Export button showing data in one column from view object,
View object is based on mulitple queries with union all ,
Please let me know the solution for this issue.
Thanks
Maheswara Raju

Maheswara Raju,
As per my understanding you are not able to export all the View Attribute using export Button. Only the attribute which is used with the item/region will get exported.
There are few work around in case if you want to export the column without showing on OAF Page. Let me know.
Cheers

Disaggreation of one data set based on another data set

Hi All,
We are using Hierarchy based IP implementation using disaggregation option in the input ready query definition.
We have a requirement as follows:
1. Disaggregate version 200 based on Version 100.
So, we have defined an input ready query, which would contain two columns one with the restriction tor the version 200 and one with restriction on version 100. We have hidden the column with restriction on version 100.
Now, in the disaggregation properties of the column with restriction on version 200, we have turned on the disaggreation with reference to the column with restriction on version 100.
When the query executed, it is doing always the equal distribution of the toal entered rather than doing the distribution as per the reference column.
We can do work around using Distribution by reference, but not sure, whether the function can handle hierarchies. Best is to solve by the Input Ready Query disaggregation settings.
Please let us know if you have any idea on how you have solved this issue, or is this a bug? I will openup a message with SAP after today.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
- Shashi

Hi Shashi ,
I have used this disaggregate property available in the query. It is working fine. In my case i am not hiding the reference key nor the dependent characteristics, so it is not giving any problem.
There might be some problem in distribution if your reference data has some particular combinations of characteristics and in the planning layout you are trying to hide some of the characteristics that are present in your refernce data.
Please check.
For more details check this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/0c033316cd2bc4e10000000a114cbd/frameset.htm
You can also try the planning function Distribution by reference, I am not sure whether it will work for hierarchy or not but you can give it a try.

Can't grasp the relation between tab set, parent tab, standard tab set and standard tab

Very novice to apex application building, but after trying to figure the concepts behind the tab sets I'm getting more and more confused about it as I always get different behaviour when changing things.
The documentation is not very clear on this.
Is there someone who can explain this in a comprehensive way?
It would be nice to have a view on the consequences of using these different levels of groupings.
Any help will be dearly appreciated ;-)

One level tab application
Tabsets are used to group standard tabs.
Use full when splitting up the application in different sections. Much like how the apex is split up in the application builder, sql workshop, team developend and administration.
Parent tabs aren't used. And a one level tab application can't be turned into a two level tab application.
Two level tab application
Parent tabs belong to only one tabset "main".
The standard tabset is the connection between the parent tab and standerd tab.
There is one standard tabset for every parent tab.
The standard tabset in the two level application has the same function as the tabset in the one level application.
The standard tabset also determines when a parent tab is current.
When on the page the setting Standard Tab Set is set then the parent tab belonging to that standard tabset is current.
This means that if you change a page form one parent tab to an other you not only need to change the tab settings. But also the settings on the page.
If you still in the position to choose between list or tabs as your main form of navigation I would recommend using lists.
The possibilities with the list templates are greater that with tabs.
Tabs have a maximum of two levels. List don't have such a limit.
If you created your application as a one level tab application you can't turn it in a second level application without some serious hacking.
Clicking on a standard tab submits the page and branch after the computations. This could also be viewed as a pro for tabs because with list navigation your page needs to be accessible by url. Did isn't necessary with standard tabs making them more secure. Parent tabs also use an url to navigate.
Only the standard tabs belonging to the current standard tabset are rendered making a drop down menu impossible.
Hope this clears up some of your questions.

Variable data sets based on metadata

Can i use meta data as a variable in datasets? (i am an event photographer and have a apreadsheet with (racenumber,time,name) . I want to tag my photos using metadata with the race numbers and then have CS5 add text onto my photos by matching the racenumber from the meta data to the spreadsheet is this possible?

what is want ot do is this;
I take photos at marathons thousands of photos.
I want to tag all my photos with the athletes race number (BIB) as meta data.
Then i get a spread sheet containing the race timings (BIB,Name,Age,Time,Place)
i want photoshop to check the meta data on the photo (BIB) and then match that BIB with the one in the speadsheet and incert all the other data like Name,Age,Time,Place on to the photo.
This is so i can create personalised participation certificates for the marathons.
Is this possible?
I think one way would be to rename each file to the BIB number and then use a speadsheet to tell photoshop to insert Name,Age,Time,Place onto file 001.jpeg ; Name1,Age1,Time1,Place1 onto file 002.jpeg etc.

Delta field for generic data source based on view EKBE

Hello,
I am creating a generic datasource based on table EKBE. Can anyone please tell me what field should I use for delta. Is it BUDAT(Posting Date in the Document) or CPUDT(Day On Which Accounting Document Was Entered).
Thanks for the help.
Praveen

Hello Ajeet Singh,
Thank you very much for the reply.
I will go ahead with CPUDT.
BUDAT is the date which can be changed. I can change the date in system and chances are it will not pick in delta.
CPUDT is the date on which document was created/changed.
Thanks,
Praveen

How to incoporate a function module in data source based on view

Hi,
I need to develop a data source in R/3 based on a view (which is straight forward).
One field in the R/3 Z table will be in like this 20,070,709,110,000
There is a function module developed in R/3 when executed will split the record(20,070,709,110,000) and display time & date
How can i incorporate this function module in data source so that the data and time records will be loaded to BW
Thanks

Enhance the data source with date and time and populate these fields in the user exit using the function module IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP .

You can create Z function module IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP in BW side and write a routine in update rules/transfer rules to populate date and time.

Query on Data Block based on View

Hi,
I am new to forms and am trying to modify an existing form which currently works in the following way :
The same form is used for insert/updates/queries.
The data block is based on a table and a post query trigger is written which updates the other text items on the canvas(which come from different tables) based on the values returned by the data block. Since the query functionality is based only on the table, you cannot query on the other items that are on the canvas. I need to make the query work on the other items that come from different tables.
I created a view which joins all the tables but when I query although it returns the right record I get an error message " Cannot insert into or update view"
I'm not sure what the best way to resolve this is ?
Any suggestions ?
Thanks
Preeti

Thanks for the replies.
I created an updateable view and an instead of trigger. The Form is now queryable on all fields and the insert to the table works beautifully.
However, now I'm getting an error on Update. Updating any column on the form results in a
ORA-01733: virtual column not allowed here
FRM-40501: ORACLE error: unable to reserve record for update or delete.
The code for the view is :
select a.*,
B.vendor_name as Supplier_name,
     'PRE' AS TO_OWNER,
     C.vendor_site_code as supplier_site,
     ARCH.vendor_name AS Architect,
     p.segment1 as Project,
     ph.segment1 as PO_number,
     decode(a.interface_status,'I','Interfaced', 'U', 'UnInterfaced',
     'P', 'Partial',null) Interface_display_status,
     decode(a.approval_status,'A','Approved', 'P', 'Partial',
     'R', 'Rejected', 'U','Unapproved',null) Approval_display_status
from idc_aia_g702 a, po_vendors b,
po_vendor_sites_all C,
PO_VENDORS ARCH,
pa_projects_all p,
po_headers_all ph
where b.vendor_id = a.vendor_id
AND A.vendor_site_Id (+) = C.vendor_site_id
AND A.VIA_ARCHITECT_VENDOR_ID = ARCH.VENDOR_ID (+)
and a.project_id = p.project_id
and a.po_header_id = ph.po_header_id;
I know I have to do something on either the data block property palette or the individual item property palette and clicking on any field within the form in order to update it results in the error mentioned above.
Shd I have all the item props as Query Only set to Yes ? or the ones for Table A as Query Only set to N and the other table columns as Y ?
Thanks

Updating record in a data block based on view in oracle forms

hi all ,
We have two data blocks in our custom oracle form.The first data block is for search criteria provided with buttons 'GO' and 'ADD ROW' and the second data block is based on a view that fetches record when user clicks on GO based on the the criteria specified in the above block. The Below block contains one SAVE button too.
We have a requirement when GO button is pressed and corresponding records are shown in the below block, user should be able to edit the record. Want to know how to make it editable?
Help appreciated....!!!

Your view is based on how many tables and does it include all NOT NULL fields from all tables?

Data Upload Based On View

I’m running Oracle 11.2 with Apex 4.1.
I need a way to do a lookup table based on two or more columns in the csv that the user uploads.
Ex: csv contains “PLOT” and “SUBPLOT” these two columns are looked up in another table and “SUBPLOT_ID” is returned
I don’t / didn’t see a way to do this using the standard wizard builder. I then noticed that under the “Create Data Load Wizard” screen I could see both tables and views in the schema. I first created a view that duplicated the columns that would be uploaded in the csv. Then I created the necessary ‘instead of‘ triggers to make the view capable of DML operations. The data upload wizard creates just fine using the view as its target. Once I start uploading data and get to the second page (Data / Table Mapping) the data in the csv is not parsed out. In other words each line is being read as a single field. The select box containing the column names does list all the columns in the view.
1) Does anyone know a way to do a multi column lookup in the wizard?
2) Am I supposed to be able to use a view as the data upload target? (I am aware that the wizard creator is asking for a table name as the target.)

Hi Epic,
Sorry for taking time to reply to your email, I somehow missed this post.
To your first question, a multi column lookup is one of the enhancement for the coming release.
The second question, regarding the views, is already fixed and I would advise you to upgrade to apex 4.1.1 (bug 13366148)

Data set not visible in MS Office Word

Hi,
I created a new data set based on an BI Analysis for a report in BI Publisher.
When I try to edit the report layout in MS Office Word I can't see the new data set in the Data Source list.
Tried restarting the services, and it didn't help.
This happens only for some reports. For others the data sets are automatically updated and visible in Word.
Any ideas what might be causing this?
Edited by: 980747 on Jan 9, 2013 4:32 AM

Never heard of this before. Can you turn on Auditing of XQuery parameters and results and then show me the audit information so I can see you are calling both the logical and the physical data service with the same arguments?
It would also help to see both the logical and physical ds and their schemas. Just zip and post the whole dsp project if possible.
