Change Data passed from BEx to BO

Hi Gurus,
In our scenario, we have BO reports built on top of BEx queries.
In BI, the convention for Hierarchy Node technical name is -> Hierarchy name + Hierarchy Node Name e.g, if Hierarchy Name is ABC and node name is XYZ, then Hierarchy Node name is ABCXYZ.
These values are passed to BO via Hierarchy Node variable, with manual entry.
In BO hierarchy node values are selected via prompt .
Now requirement of BO is,in prompt, they want just need name of Hierarchy Node, without hierarchy Name.
In above e.g., they need value XYZ, instead of ABCXYZ
Can you please suggest.. how can we achieve this, without Customer Exit variable or change in Master data ?
Regards
Mohit

Hi Ingo,
Now we have decided to display the text(description) to BO Report.
Hence we have done following changes on BW side:
Changed Display field to Text, in Business Explorer Tab of Hierarchy.
Changed Display property of Hierarchy in Query Properties to Text.
Now we are facing following problems in BO Webi list of values :
1) Description displayed in List of values, is matched with 'key' value . Obviously since values of keys and description are different, the system throws an error
2) Description are not displayed as Hierarchies, but just plain texts one below another.
i.e. '' symbol, for expanding Hierarchy, is not present in List Of Values, against the description ( symbol is however displayed for Keys )
Can you please suggest how to resolve this error
Regards
Mohit

How to change data format from MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY

HI,
How can we change data format from MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY in Prompt and Report Level in obiee 11g.
Please help me ont this.
Thanks

Hi,
In Prompt:
Try using EVALUATE function.
Eg: Evaluate('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as character(30),"D5.Times"."Day Date",'DD-MON-YYYY')
Report level:
Try this in the column formula-
Evaluate('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as character(30),"D5.Times"."Day Date",'MM/DD/YYYY')
(or)
EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' AS CHARACTER ( 30 ), "Dim- Date".Start Date, 'MON-YY')

Getting changed data back from editable ALV...

Hello Gurus,
I am working on ALV using standard ALV function module REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY. Now, To make the fields editale, I am using flag EDIT = 'X' in field catalog. This working fine.
Now, when the data is changed in ALV grid and user clicks on SAVE button that I have programmed in i_callback_usercommand, how can I get the changed data back from editable ALV so that I can change data in custom table ?
Please help.
Regards,
Rajesh.

I see that the method CHECK_CHANGED_DATA is used. I am also doing it as follows. But how do I get the changed data back in table. There are no table parameters in
CALL METHOD REF_GRID->CHECK_CHANGED_DATA .
DATA: REF_GRID TYPE REF TO CL_GUI_ALV_GRID.
IF REF_GRID IS INITIAL.
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_GLOBALS_FROM_SLVC_FULLSCR'
IMPORTING
E_GRID = REF_GRID.
ENDIF.
IF NOT REF_GRID IS INITIAL.
CALL METHOD REF_GRID->CHECK_CHANGED_DATA .
ENDIF.

My status change to pass from fail after 40 days. Microsoft Exam 74-409 Score

Microsoft update 74-409 exam.
My status change to pass from fail after 40 days..
Recived below email. is this possible ?
Dear Valued Customer,
You recently took Microsoft Exam 74-409: Server Virtualization with Windows Server Hyper-V and System Center. After close evaluation of the exam, we have made some revisions that resulted in a change to your exam results. We are pleased to inform you that your
status has been changed to ‘PASS’. This update will be reflected in your official transcript within two weeks. A new score report will be mailed to you within two weeks.
Thank you for taking this exam and for your support of our program.

Yes its possible, but its also possible that its a scam trying to entice you to provide information that could be used for identity theft. I would wait a couple weeks and then check your transcript on the MCP site. If the exam shows then it was
for real. If it doesn't then it was probably a fake message.
The reason it might be for real could be that someone challenged the clarity of one of the questions in their comments and Microsoft decided after looking into it that some question was misleading. This might have lead them to accept more than one
answer or to throw the question out. That could have modified your score in some way and promoted you above the Pass line. It is possible, but not likely.

Calendar prompt for Date variable from bex

Hi All,
I have a Bex query where I have a variable on 0CALDAY
- Customer exit (i_step = 1 to populate with current date)
- Single value
- Mandatory
I created universe on this query and in webI selection screen i do see the variable prompt.
I am not able to see the current date populated automatically since exit values are not populated to WebI at runtime.
My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
where user can enter the values directly.
I am currently on BO XI 3.1 SP3.
Is there any specific setting in Universe or bex query which is required to get this Calendar prompt instead of list of values for dates?
Note: When we were on SP1 the universe created then had same variable from bex and it still shows us Calendar prompt but ever since we upgraded to SP3 for the query splitter functionality we not able to get the calendar prompt for date variable in new universe we create
Thanks
Ritesh

Yep.
Now tell me how you want to show that Prompt @ WebI report level.
My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
where user can enter the values directly. Exactly, i didn't get this??
@Prompt:
You have flexibility to show options like:
Mono/Multi: User can select Single value or Multiple.
BW Variable: Same we have (Single/Multiple)
Free/Constrained: User can Enter his/her value directly or No change option.
BW Variable: By defalut you will get this, once you made it to Optional input.
Persistent/Not_Persistent: Refreshed report has to show last selected value means use Persistent otherwise Not_P.
By seeing the Prompt syntax , I can say your Variable is after Customer Exit, Correct??
Workaround for your Problem is:
<FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A','Date\LovDate (Previous Day)Base',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
You have to remove that Date class and objects from prompt syntax. Because of that it showing up LOV's not calendar.
Like:
<FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A',',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
Why, It should be blank??
Because Date needs no class\object to show up, by default you will get Calendar on the fly.
Hope you got my point.
Thank You!!

Viewset does not have data passed from GenIL

Hi All,
We have a custom component in which data is not getting passed from a ViewSet to the Overview page. The details of the issue are given below:
There is a detail view zsoEF and a table view zsoChild. These 2 views are housed in a viewset zsoVS. This view set has an event Eh_OnBack which requires the data from views zsoEF and zsoChild to be passed to overview view zsoOV.
We recently upgraded to CRM 7.0. After the upgrade, the values entered on the views zsoEF and zsoChild are processed in the ZGenIL. The context nodes and the custom controllers are filled correctly with the screen values and some auto added data based on validations..
When we click on the Back button, then Eh_OnBack does not have data in the Custom Controller. I am not able to pin point the reason for this missing data in the Back event. From the way i understand, when we do data binding in the views, we don't have to do that in ViewSet. Has there been any change in this design in CRM 7.0?
I would like to know if there is any workaround for this issue.
Thanks,
Rini

Hi Rini,
Did you try to bind the context nodes with the component controller. Can give it a try whether it resolves the problem. Any way it is difficult to say anything as we don't have an idea what exactly you did in the component. Lets take it forward. In the mean time have a look in the below link.

Change data capture from DRM to Target system

Hi All,
I have a situation where client wants Hyperion DRM to be single source of truth and pass Hierarchy information from DRM to subscribing target systems. There are 3 target systems and the database is MS SQL server.
Now in the export profile ,I am using database export where I have mapped the DRM node/properties to target table's columns. For the initial load it is a new record in the database and the data flows as it is a 1:1 mapping, however if few of the property value changes and I wan to update only the corresponding columns what will the architecture for push the change data in to target.
Can we achieve this without have any staging tables and capture the change data ?
Do need to use ODI ?
Does DRM has any work around without putting extra effort hrs by building CDC tables ?
I will really appreciate your suggestions and comments on this......

Thanks for the quick reply. However I was trying to resolve the Change data capture in Hierarcy through as" Database Table" but it seems when we choose the DEVICE option as database in the target tab of export it can only export or insert new records into the tables but cannot update and existing record.
PLease correct me if my understnding is wrong ?????

Is it possible ?Change data capture from VSAM , DB2 , SQL Server to Oracle

Dear Professionals ,
We plan to build a warehouse project.Source systems are
* VSAM files in zOS
* SQL Server
* DB2
Warehouse database is Oracle .
Every night the changes in the source systems will be applied to Oracle warehouse DB.
But only the changes will be applied . Exporting VSAM files to flat file and load to oracle and find the data differences in Oracle is not accepted. Or moving the entire tables to oracle and finding the changes in oracle is not accepted.Only the changes will pass through the network .
Is "Oracle Connect" and "VSAM adaptor" capable of this ?
Is there a solution for SQL Server and DB2 change data capture ?
Is it Possible ? If possible is it a headache or a simple install and forget process?
Thank you
Bunyamin..

Bunyamin,
I do not know about VSAM, but I heard/read that Oracle Data Integrator is able to do change data capture on several databases. It uses the source database mechanism to do CDC. So maybe give it a try at the fusion middleware forum where ODI is being discussed

Change data type from number(11,6) to number (11,8)

I have a table, which has a million records...I have to change data type of some of the columns from number (11,6) to number (11,8).
I thought of taking the backup of the table , truncating the original table, change the data type and then insert data back.
Is it a safe option considering so many records ?

the first number is precision and the second is scale:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14196/schema002.htm#sthref472
so yes, 11,6 can hold larger numbers than 11,8
create table foobar (two number(5,2),
three number(5,3))
insert into foobar values (123.45,12.345);
--works fine
insert into foobar values (123.45,123.45);
--gives error ORA-01438: value larger than specified precision allowed for this column

Changing date format from yyyy/mm/dd to mm/dd/yyyy

to change date in text field (20140303T144253.253 GMT) to the following format:
2014/03/03
I would like to put it in the following format 03/03/2014 mm/dd/yyyy.
is it possible to do this all in one statement?

Actually you code does not convert that string to a string of "yyyy/mm/dd", it converts the value to a DATE. Your display must be changing it to that format. Do not confuse the display format with the storage format.
PS. You do not need to do the substrings.
CONVERT(varchar(10), CONVERT(date, LEFT([NGT_KYC_QUES_ANSWER],8), 112), 101)

Data Passing from ME21N to ME22N or ME23N

Hi,
I'm using screen exit to add some custom fields in PO Creation screen. I used the enhancement MM06E005. I have to add fields in Header hence, I added those in CI_EKKODB. Then, I designed 0101 screen of SAPMM06E.
Further I used EXIT_SAPMM06E_008 to Pass data from Subscreen to Structure for storage of data entered in customer-screen.
Till this point, it is working fine.
My issues are --
1). When I press Change button on the screen, customer-screen does not change its mode of display as with rest of the screen.
2). After saving data using ME21N, it is not being reflected in ME22N and ME23N; while other data from standarad screen are coming.
Can you please guide me what to do and which exit is to be used for the purpose..?
Kumar Saurav.

Issue resolved.

Data Passing from a Subreport to the Main Report

Hello,I have been able to pass data from a subreport to a main report using shared variables. The Complete Reference: CR XI (p. 313) states that you should be able to now suppress the subreport to prevent it from showing on the main report, however this is not working. I want to get the data from the subreport and then further manipulate it in the main report, and I do not want the subreport shown on the main report. I tried suppressing/hiding the section where the subreport is placed as well as suppressing the subreport itself. The formula values on the main report become null when I do this though. Is it possible to keep the subreport off the main report?Thanks.

Data passed from Java to a PL/SQL function

OK, I am at the beginner-to-intermediate level when it comes to PL/SQL...and a virtual novice when it comes to Java, so please forgive me if my question seems strange or naive.
We are developing a Java-based web app. Some of the screens are reminiscent of a spreadsheet-type layout--potentially LOTS of rows and LOTS of columns (actually, an open-ended # of rows/columns--the rows represent a particular 'thing' and the columns represent the dates on which that 'thing' occurred), where the user can check off any and all the cells that apply. We are also 'auditing' all database activity (who did what to the data, and when). The approach we have chosen is as follows: When the user clicks save, the first thing we do is 'inactivate' all of the existing active rows in the db for that screen, whether or not they have changed(i.e., there is an 'active' flag that we set to false & we also save the user id of the person making the change and the date time of the change). Then the Java code calls the database once per row/contiguous column unit. For instance, on a single row, if the user checks off columns 1-4 and 7-15 and column 21 the Java code will send three calls to the database for that row with info about the start/stop column for each unit.
OK--here is my concern...the majority of the time there will be a reasonably small #of 'units'. Occasionally there will be a moderate, and once in awhile a LARGE # of 'units'. So, let's take an extreme case and say that currently the db has 200 such row/contiguous column units for a given screen. The user goes into that screen and adds the 201st unit, then clicks Save. Java calls the db to first inactivate the 200 rows. Then one by one Java calls the db to add the rows back in, only on row #40, the internet connection is lost. The only way the user can tell what happened is to look at the entire screen and reverify ALL the data in order to tell what got saved/resaved and what didn't. Obviously this is a bad situation that we want to avoid.
I should add that the reason this approach was chosen is that the Java developers thought it would be way too complex in this situation to track the changes the user made on the screen, sort out what has been added/modified/deleted, and only call the db for changes.
So given this background, can anyone offer any suggestions/ideas on how we can prevent unintended data loss given the auditing constraints and concern about minimizing complexity on the Java side (redesigning the GUI screen is NOT an option, as the users are very attached to this design)?
Is there a way for Java to pass a multidimensional (& variable-sized) array to a PL/SQL function? Can Oracle's complex (row, table) data types be used in a function's parameter string, and if so...how?...Or else is there some way we can send a single call to the db on a screen like this one? We thought of calling the db once and sending one very large string packed with all the data (could get very big, not sure of Oracle's limatations on passed data--is it 32K for varchar2? )
Advice, ideas, even random thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Tracy,
<quote>â¦ only on row #40, the internet connection is lost. The only way the user can tell what happened is to look at the entire screen and reverify ALL the data in order to tell what got saved/resaved and what didn't</quote>
That would be "the only way" if the Java programmers had decided to totally bury the error â¦ what should happen here is the end-user should get a proper error message â¦ no need to re-verify at this point since all bets are off (in fact, nothing shouldâve been changed in the database).
Nonetheless, your concerns regarding the chosen approach are valid â¦ making multiple calls to the database after a Save makes controlling a business transaction rather complex (in an n-tier system) â¦ they should make one call only to the database passing in all the data to be saved â¦ one database transaction â¦ either all changes get applied or none.
The fact that lots of data may need to be passed in for one Save is of no relevance â¦ if you have to carry 500Kb of data for that screen then, well, you have to do it â¦ 1 bucket of 500Kb or 50 buckets of 10Kb? â¦ it doesnât really matter as far as the actual transport part is concerned.
As already answered, one can pass complex types in pl/sql â¦ so one database call per Save would be my first random thought. There are lots of suspect things in here â¦ some things you didnât mentioned at all â¦ like how is concurrency addressed? â¦ have you/they implemented some sort of optimistic locking mechanism? Of course the architecture of your system wonât be solved in a forum â¦ so, finding a good system/data/Oracle architect on site for the project would be my second random thought.
PS. One last random thought â¦ fight off that idea of packing and sending large strings (XML or not) â¦ if the data is structured then contemplate XML for no more than few seconds.

How to change data type from Integer to Double?

In a data set, BIP treat Oracle number type column as Integer. How to change it to double?

Hi,
This could be possible with the tcode RSD2 in BW.
But before you do this you need to remove this KF from the cubes/dso in which they are used.Otherwise i don think you can do this.
Once the change is done you could add them back to the DataTargets and load the data as required.
