Create Navigation path in IDT4.0 and how to use these navigation paths in Webi report

Hi All, I want to know how to create navigation path in universe? I am using IDT BO4.0 SP4 and relational connection and want to create navigation path. I would like to know how to use this navigation path in Webi report? If I create a webi report where can I see my navigation paths and how to use it. If you can give any document or link which expalins this whole process, that would be great. Thanks,

HI REMI ,
1. ANSWER TO YOUR 1st QUESTION i.e. HOW TO CREATE A NAVIGATIONAL PATH :
    IN IDT 4.0 , YOU WILL FIND A NAVIGATIONAL PATH IN BOTTOM WHEN YOU WILL OPEN YOUR      BUSINESS LAYER , THERE YOU CAN CLICK CUSTOM NAVIGATION PATH -> THEN CLICK AT      ADD A NAVIGATIOAL PATH BUTTON->THEN GIVE NAME NAVIGATIONAL PATH NAME->THEN ADD THE OBJECTS UNDER YOUR NAVIGATIONAL PATH IN A HIERARCHICAL SEQUENCE .     FOR EX :     COUNTRY->STATE->CITY . AND YOUR CUSTOM NAVIGATIONAL PATH IS     CREATED.
2. ANSWER TO YOUR SECOND QUESTION WHAT IS THE USE OF NAVIGATIONAL PATH IN WEBI REPORT :
NAVIGATIONAL PATH HELPS YOU TO PERFORM DRILL DOWN ON YOUR DIMENSION OBJECTS , FOR EX : LET 'S SAY YOU CREATED A NAVIGATIONAL PATH- REGION SALES : Containing COUNTRY->STATE->SALES. THIS WILL HELP YOU TO DRILL DOWN IN YOUR WEBI REPORT AS SHOWN BELOW :
COUNTRY                      SALES
INDIA                             $1000000
(after clicking INDIA you will get below structure in your Report)
STATE                           SALES
DELHI                             $600000
ANDRA-PRADESH          $200000
MAHARASHTRA             $200000
(after clicking MAHARASHTRA you will get below structure in your Report)
CITY                              SALES
MUMBAI                         $150000
NAGPUR                        $ 50000
ACTUALLY , DRILL - DOWN AS THE NAME SOUND HELP TO DRILL THE DIMENSION TILL ROOT LEVEL & SEE THE MEASURES VALUES ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE VALUES LEVELS.
1ST LEVEL WILL ALWAYS CONTAIN THE SUM OF THE MEASURE OBJECTS
CHEERS ,

Please update your forum profile with a real handle instead of "914824".
When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Template(s)
<li>Region/item type(s)
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.
I am going to have over 50 buttons in a page, Why? This would be a most unusual UI paradigm. I've never seen such a page, which suggests that whatever you want to do is normally done another way. Please explain the requirement in more detail.
just wanted to know if its possible to do something like this in java.
Java is not used in programming APEX UI behaviour. Java and JavaScript may share initial syllables, but they are not closely related.
It's possible to achieve a great deal in JavaScript, but a clear definition of the requirements is necessary. Do you mean the buttons should be dynamically generated? If so, yes, this is possible in JavaScript. What would drive the process?
Also, i would like to have dynamic action on it, for example, when the button is pressed, fill a string of text into other items(text field) within the page. Without more detail its not possible to make any specific suggestions. For example, I certainly would not want to create 50+ individual dynamic actions relating to different buttons.

How to create Implicit Fact column ?and how to use it ?

Hi all,
How to create Implicit Fact column ?
and how to use it ?
Thanks in advance

When you create a request with only dimension columns, the Oracle BI engine has to choose a fact table to join the dimensions to each other. If you have multiple fact tables in your BMM layer, the Oracle BI engine will use the most economical fact table, depending on the number of dimensions of the fact table.
In some cases you do not want to use this fact table, but you want to force the Oracle BI engine to use the fact table you want.
In that case you should create a fact (or select an existing fact) of the fact table you want to use for the dimension only query. In the presentation catalog of the subject area you should select this fact as the implicit fact. This fact will always be used in the query, but it won't be visible in your report. An example of an implicit fact is the count of the primary key (id) of the fact table.

How to create a variable, and how to use the same across all the reports?

Hi,
Is there any possibility of creating a variable at once and making use of that across in all the Crystal Reports?
Thanks In advance for your time and solution.

MohanMRK,
can you describe how you get the value for this variable?
is it calculated on one report and then you want to pass it to a 2nd report? if that's the case, what you can do is have the reports linked via an opendocument link and pass the value to the 2nd report as a parameter. the value / parameter is only shared when you press the opendocument hyperlink.
please see the sdk library [here |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/sdklibrary]and scroll down to the opendocument section near the bottom.
if you are just trying to find a way to share a calculation across reports look into creating a Custom Function which can be added to your repository. please note that this will not pass a calculated value across 2 or more reports, but will just have a shared method of making the calculation.
as Abhilash mentioned before, there's no way to use an actual Variable across 2 separate reports without them being a main report and subreport(s). in that case you'll want to look into Shared Variables.
cheers,
jamie

Links text includes Ctrl + Click, why? And how to use these links?

Links in my e-mails (Yahoo and Windstream) somehow get CTRL + Click added to them. The links then will not function - the normal click on a link does nothing. Also pressing Ctrl and clicking will not cause the link to function. Since this has affected both my Yahoo and my Windstream e-mails, I think it may be coming from the browser = Firefox. What info can I provide to help resolve this? Please reply...

Select text or image. Go to Link field on the Properties panel. If you don't see Properties, hit Ctrl+F3.

How to create process chains,and how to use process like and or xor

Hi,
How to create process chains,and how to use process like and or xor.
can any one please give me a example in each.
Thanks,
cheta.

Hi Cheta,
Here is step by step procedure to create process chains
Process chain is nothing but executing a process ..(or) loading the data any process we can do in background.. that means.. automatically we can execute our process based on Time or any event..
Creating Process Chains
Prerequisites
If you want to include a load process in the process chain, you need to have already created an InfoPackage.
You cannot load flat file data from a client workstation in the background. For this reason, you have stored your data on an application server.
Creating Process Chains
You have the option of creating a process chain in the process chain maintenance screen directly or by using a maintenance dialog for a process:
Creating a Process Chain Directly in the Process Chain Maintenance Screen
You are in the BW Administrator Workbench.
1. Click on the Process Chain Maintenance icon in the AWB toolbar.
The Process Chain Selection dialog window appears.
2. Choose Create.
3. Enter the technical name and a description of the chain, and confirm your entry.
The Add Start Process dialog window appears.
4. Create a variant for a start process.
1. a. On the Maintain Start Process screen, choose whether you want to schedule the chain directly or whether you want to start it using a metachain.
2. b. If you choose to schedule the chain directly, enter the start date value for the chain under Change Selections and save your entries.
The Maintain Start Process screen appears again.
3. c. Save your entries, return to the previous screen and confirm your entries in the Add Start Process dialog window.
You are taken to the Plan View of the process chain maintenance screen.
In the left-hand area of the screen, a navigation area is displayed. In the right-hand area of the screen, the process chain is displayed.
5. Use the drag-and-drop function to add the relevant processes into your process chain.
You use the Process Types function to select the processes. This sorts the process types according to different categories. You can also call up InfoPackages and processes for the data target from the separate InfoSources and Data Targets navigation trees.
Hope this helps
Regards
Karthik

Is it possible to create a single texbox? and how to delete a button on a form? please asap, badly n

Is it possible to create a single texbox? and how to delete a button on a form? please asap, badly needed it right now. thx -regards gustavo

Hello Gustavo,
You can create a single textbox using the textbox option here (This is for you to enter text - not for the visitor): http://jingsite.businesscatalyst.com/jing/2013-09-30_2212.png
If you want to create a textbox for the visitors to enter text, then you need to enter a form, and you can delete the "message" field from the "simple contact" form, but not the name and the email fields (those are mandatory and can't be deleted).
You may want to check external forms in case you want to have the form rather customized, to check if you can have forms with single textbox. An example would be "Jotform".
Hope this helps.
Cheers

What is SQL Trace and How to Use it .

Dear Experts .
1.) May You Please tell me What is the Purpose of SQL-Trace and How to use it ?
2.) What is purpose of T-codes SE30 and ST22 ?
Please it is urgent ...
Regards : Rajneesh

Hi
SQL Trace transaction ST05: The trace list has many lines that are not related to the SELECT statement in the ABAP program. This is because the execution of any ABAP program requires additional administrative SQL calls. To restrict the list output, use the filter introducing the trace list.
The trace list contains different SQL statements simultaneously related to the one SELECT statement in the ABAP program. This is because the R/3 Database Interface - a sophisticated component of the R/3 Application Server - maps every Open SQL statement to one or a series of physical database calls and brings it to execution. This mapping, crucial to R/3s performance, depends on the particular call and database system. For example, the SELECT-ENDSELECT loop on a particular database table of the ABAP program would be mapped to a sequence PREPARE-OPEN-FETCH of physical calls in an Oracle environment.
The WHERE clause in the trace list's SQL statement is different from the WHERE clause in the ABAP statement. This is because in an R/3 system, a client is a self-contained unit with separate master records and its own set of table data (in commercial, organizational, and technical terms). With ABAP, every Open SQL statement automatically executes within the correct client environment. For this reason, a condition with the actual client code is added to every WHERE clause if a client field is a component of the searched table.
To see a statement's execution plan, just position the cursor on the PREPARE statement and choose Explain SQL. A detailed explanation of the execution plan depends on the database system in use.
Run time analysis transaction SE30 :This transaction gives all the analysis of an ABAP program with respect to the database and the non-database processing.
STEPS
Run time analysis transaction SE30
In Transaction SE30, fill in the transaction name or the program name which needs to be analyzed for performance tuning.
For our case, let this be ZABAP_PERF_TUNING
After giving the required inputs to the program, execute it. After the final output list has been displayed, PRESS the BACK button.
On the original SE30 screen, now click on ANALYZE button.
The percentage across each of the areas ABAP/ Database/System shows the percentage of total time used for those areas and load on these areas while running the program . The lesser the database load faster the program runs.
SQL Trace ST05
Starting the Trace:
To analyze a trace file, do the following:
Choose the menu path Test  Performance Trace in the ABAP Workbench or go to Transaction ST05. The initial screen of the test tool appears. In the lower part of the screen, the status of the Performance Trace is displayed. This provides you with information as to whether any of the Performance Traces are switched on and the users for which they are enabled. It also tells you which user has switched the trace on.
Using the selection buttons provided, set which trace functions you wish to have switched on (SWL trace, enqueue trace, RFC trace, table buffer trace).
If you want to switch on the trace under your user name, choose Trace on. If you want to pass on values for one or several filter criteria, choose Trace with Filter.
Typical filter criteria are: the name of the user, transaction name, process name, and program name.
Now run the program to be analyzed.
Stopping the Trace:
To deactivate the trace:
Choose Test Performance Trace in the ABAP Workbench. The initial screen of the test tool appears. It contains a status line displaying the traces that are active, the users for whom they are active, and the user who activated them.
Select the trace functions that you want to switch off.
Choose Deactivate Trace. If you started the trace yourself, you can now switch it off immediately. If the performance trace was started by a different user, a confirmation prompt appears before deactivation-
Analyzing a Sample trace data: PREPARE: Prepares the OPEN statement for use and determines the access method.
OPEN: Opens the cursor and specifies the selection result by filling the selection fields with concrete values.
FETCH: Moves the cursor through the dataset created by the OPEN operation. The array size displayed beside the fetch data means that the system can transfer a maximum package size of 392 records at one time into the buffered area.

How to use portal navigation context

Hi,
I have 4 roles in the portal.
Out of these, one role name is invisible but iview in that role is visible on left side above detailed navigation.
It is a URL iview, which contains link of another web dynpro iview A . (This path is set through navigateAbsolute).
Now the problem I am facing is, if I am in any of the other three roles, accessing some application B in the detailed navigation of that role, and after that if I click on the web dynpro iview As link in URL iview, though this application opens up in the content area, but still B remains highlighted. I want that the moment A link is clicked, that application should open up and at the same time role highlighted should be Home.
While doing R&D, I came across navigation target and context target. Navigation target is the path of application you want to open and context target is the path which can be set some other value which will then be highlighted.
But I am not getting how to use it. I tried different ways, but not able to figure out.
Can anyone please help in this regard.
Thanks & regards,
Anupreet

Hi,
Thats a good idea. I have a Button Click Event, and on Action of it, I am doing a set of operation based on some condition and at the end of the operation i need to redirect to the logoff.jsp
The LinkToURL in place of Button is not allowed.The requirment is to have the button compulsory and i need to do those set of operation onclick of that button.
Still i can use LinkToURL as a hidden element and can call the logoff.jsp and the end of the above operations on click of that button. Is it possible to achive that...Please share your thoughts.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks and Regards,

Why and how we use Logical Database?

Can anybody explain with example why and how we use logical database?
Regards,
Rajan

Hello,
SAP comes loaded with all the extras. Among the extras that are most helpful to IT managers are all the access routines needed to pull any business object that managers can think of out of SAP databases. However, SAP has not thought of everything where your particular applications are concerned. SAP organizes its standard database tables to service business units based on conventional business applications. Itu2019s likely your business requires something new, perhaps even something exotic. In that case, you will need to create a new database, using information from different places. Basically, you need a logical database. You need to create a virtual business data object repository consisting of a new kind of record or table that suits your purposes. In addition, the repository should be composed of information that is actually stored in a number of different locations, none of them necessarily logically associated with one another. Letu2019s take a closer look at creating logical databases.
A case for a logical database
Suppose my company manufactures widgets of the most obscure variety, and they are components of other widgets. I sell my widgets as raw material for the more sophisticated widgets built by others, but in some cases I actually partner with other manufacturers in creating yet another class of widget. Now, in my world, I consequently have customers who are also partners. I sell to them and I partner with them in manufacturing and distribution. Also, I need an application that uses both of these dual-use relationships.
Essentially, I have a customer database and a partner database. Neither contains records that are structured to contain the identifying particulars of the other. Thus, I need a hybrid database that gives me tables detailing these hybrid relationships. What can I do? I can go the long way around and write a new database, pulling information from both and creating new objects with a customized program that I write by hand. However, this process is cumbersome and contains maintenance issues. On the other hand, I can use SAPu2019s logical database facility, create my logical database in a couple of minutes, and have no maintenance issues at all.
Logical database structures
There are three defining entities in an SAP logical database. You must be clear on all three in order to create and use one.
u2022     Table structure: Your logical database includes data from specified tables in SAP. There is a hierarchy among these tables defined by their foreign keys (all known to SAP), and you are going to define a customized relationship between select tables. This structure is unique and must be defined and saved.
u2022     Data selection: You may not want or need every item in the referenced tables that contributes to your customized database. There is a selection screen that permits you to pick and choose.
u2022     Database access programming: Once youu2019ve defined your logical database, SAP will generate the access subroutines needed to pull the data in the way you want it pulled.
Creating your own logical database
ABAP/4 (Advanced Business Application Programming language, version 4) is the language created by SAP for implementation and customization of its R/3 system. ABAP/4 comes loaded with many predefined logical databases that can construct and table just about any conventional business objects you might need in any canned SAP application. However, you can also create your own logical databases to construct any custom objects you care to define, as your application requires in ABAP/4. Hereu2019s a step-by-step guide:
1.     Call up transaction SLDB (or transaction SE36). The path you want is Tools | ABAP Workbench | Development | Programming Environment | Logical Databases. This screen is called Logical Database Builder.
2.     Enter an appropriate name in the logical database name field. You have three options on this screen: Create, Display, and Change. Choose Create.
3.     Youu2019ll be prompted for a short text description of your new logical database. Enter one. Youu2019ll then be prompted to specify a development class.
4.     Now comes the fun part! You must specify a root node, or a parent table, as the basis of your logical database structure. You can now place subsequent tables under the root table as needed to assemble the data object you want. You can access this tree from this point forward, to add additional tables, by selecting that root node and following the path Edit | Node | Create. Once youu2019ve saved the structure you define in this step, the system will generate the programming necessary to access your logical database. The best part is you donu2019t have to write a single line of code.

How to use XSJS file path in Controller.js file

Hi Experts,
Regarding How to use XSJS file path in Controller.js file.
I have gone through the SAP HANA Extended Application Services (Thomas Jung http://scn.sap.com/community/developer-center/hana/blog/2012/11/29/sap-hana-extended-application-services article.)
Seems to be there is no information about the same. May be the article is targetted for Beginners and above. As I am a learner I am not able to do the same.
var aUrl = '../../logic/demo_main.xsjs? (highlighted)
Suppose my XSJS file is at http://ipaddress:8000/newtest/Func.XSJS.
Can I use like below
var aUrl = 'http://ipaddress:8000/newtest/Func.xsjs?
or
var aUrl = '../../newtest/Func.xsjs?
I tried with multiple options but not able to get the expected output.
Can you please provide more details on this?

Dear Thomas,
I am a abap developer , recently we meet a problem on our webdynpro report performnace issue. As in the development, we use SALV_WD_TABLE to design a ALV. and verything work correctly in our DEV system.
But after when our QAS system, there are more records for the ALV, one of them has 21000 records. And in the layout, we have a column as checkbox.
If we click any one checkbox, then the layout will respond almost 1~2 minutes. With debug I found the most time cost in the standard program.
And with search I found that you have solution to solve it as 1,000,000 rows.
So is it possible to provide some idea or solution to us?
Many thanks for your help!
