Deny Data Tracking = Deny Duplicate Report?

We have just recently upgraded to 3.1. We're working through some wacky little issues.
Issue of the moment is, I have disallowed data tracking to most users while we assess the system impact of it. However, when these users are working in the Interactive mode and try to duplicate a report, it returns an error "Your security profile does not include permission to use data tracking." This does not happen in Advanced mode.
What does data tracking have to do with duplicating a report? Is this a bug? It is in the path to be addressed in an upcoming fix pack? I can just enable data tracking, but I really don't want to at this point.

Hello Marshall,
this could be a bug or by design, i`m not sure. Best way to figure it out would be creating a Support Message at the SAP Service Marketplace.

Remove option for Data Tracking and Drill Mode

Hi all
We have integrated a bunch of Webi reports into the SAP Portal. My question is now how to remove the options about Data Tracking and Drill Mode in the top right hand corner? I guess it is some special right we need to deny in the Access Level, we have defined. But if I deny data tracking and drilling in the Web Intelligence section of the Access Level, it has no effect.
Please assist.
Best regards,
Martin Søgaard

I, too, am perplexed by this change. Then again, I've been perplexed by most of the changes Apple has made to products/os in the last few years. I'm thinking that I may not only change browsers, but hardware/software also. It's issues like this that make me wonder if anyone on the Apple design team actually uses any of their products, or maybe they think we are all just too ignorant to be able to use a computer.
Making things simple to use shouldn't equate to removing advanced functionality, but it seems that's what Apple believes it to be.
Really disgusted now.
Thanks Apple.

Duplicate report title for every date where records are found in date range

Hi,
I have a developed a report that lists multiple entries by date range with a page break separating each date. What I would like to include now is a report title which only appears once for each date, and separated by page break.
Example:
(Business Unit)
(Address)
(Report Title)
(Date)
Entry 1
Entry 2
Entry 3
Entry 4
Entry 5
Entry 6
Entry 7
(Business Unit)
(Address)
(Report Title)
(Date)Entry 1

Hi Camelbak2113,
According to your description, it seems that you want to eliminate the duplicate report title for every date. If in this scenario, I suggest that we can try to add a group grouped on date range, and then add a child group grouped on report title. Then add
page breaks between each instance of date range group.
If I have something misunderstood, please provide us more information about the report. Such as provide us some screenshots about the report with sample data. So that we can make further analysis and help you out.
Thanks,

How to schedule the webi report based on data changes in the report data

Hello,
I want to schedule a webi report based on data change in a column in the report.
The scenario is something like below:
1. If a data of a particular column changes from 2 to 3 than I would like to schedule this report and sent it to users mail box.
I know how to apply alerts or schedule a report or data tracking for capturing changes in the report but I dont know how to schedule the report only for data changes.
Anybody done this before.

How to track details for report last run

Hello All,
I have request from the client where i have to run the report from the last date on which the report was run.
For this i need to track the details as on which date the report was run last eg last the report was run 01-june-08
for a supplier so nect time when the report is run for tht supplier it shud allow dates only after 01-June-08.
This has to be done in rpeort 6i.
Can anyone suggest as how i can achieve this.

If do not purge the concurrent request data (fnd_concurrent_requests) you can use the max(request_date) for that concurrent_program_id and allow date that is greater than that, using table validation. In the where condition just use
select nvl(request_date,sysdate) from fnd_concurrent_requests
where trunc(nvl(request_date,SYSDATE)) between (select trunc(nvl(max(request_date),SYSDATE)) from fnd_concurrent_requests where concurrent_program_id=45666) and trunc(sysdate);
Thanks

Date Track history tables in Oracle HRMS & Discoverer

Hello experts,
I will be glad if anyone can help thru. I am trying to develop the DIS report for Audit purpose that tracks all the changes entered by Data Entry clerks, regardless of effective date. Mainly from Person Form and Assignment Form.
Is there anyway I can include the exact date/time the change made/status updated. Is the 'Effective date' clue?
e.g. There is an Assignment Change - from 'Global Operations' organization to 'Domestic Application' organization. The change is suppose to be effective from 05/02/2011 but I am entering the action on 04/18/2011. Similar for past events - if I make date tracked Assignment change suppose to be effective from 04/04/2011.
How can I accommodate this in a report. I just have EUL rights of Discoverer10g. (Oracle R12)
Thanks a lot.

Hello
The effective date is used for date tracking, but not to determine when a change was made. To determine when a change was made you need to look at the date last updated. Bear in mind though that only tables which can be updated have this field. If a table is only used for inserts then you will not find this field.
The effective dates are used to tie records in different tables together. Some tables have just an effective date, some have an effective start and an effective end, while others have a FROM date and a TO date. All of these can be used together to determine the state of play as it was at a certain point in time. The current records can have their effective dates compared to SYSDATE like this:
EFFECTIVE_START_DATE <= SYSDATE and EFFECTIVE_END_DATE >= SYSDATE
Records from one table can be tied to records in another to ensure for example that an assignment is tied correctly back to the right person record. In this case you would need to make sure that the effective date on the assignment is greater than or equal to the effective start date of the PERSON and less than or equal to the effective end date.
Date last updated will be used to determine exactly when a record was updated. Sometimes a date last updated will pre-date an effective date when companies enter records in advance of when they will be active. For example, in payroll where it is very common to enter new salaries many weeks in advance or in your situation where a change is supposed to be effective from 05/02/2011 but is entered on 04/18/2011. In this case the date last updated will say 04/18/2011 and the effective date or effective start date, depending which is in use, will have 05/02.2011. The effective date, effective start date and date from should never change and should always reflect a record's effectiveness, regardless of many times the record gets updated. The effective end and from dates will be updated to a real date a new record is added and sometimes these will be NULL so you have to take that into account too.
Data warehouses will generally load data based on the date last updated so that, for example, all records updated in the last 24 hours can be selected.
Hope this helps

SAP BPC 7.5 SP 7 - Master Data Load Detected duplicate member ID

Hi Gurus I have a requirement.
I am loading the Master data for Cost Center - initially while loading master data i didnot load hierarchy. Now I started to load the Master data with Hierarchy but when ever I tried vailidate the transformation file then it is throwing the "Detected Duplicate member "
Let me show you the transformation - what I wrote there
*OPTIONS
FORMAT = DELIMITED
HEADER = YES
DELIMITER = TAB
*MAPPING
ID=ID
*CONVERSION
ID=Master_Data_Conversion.xls
Conversion Master_Data_Conversion.xls has the following code this is to remove the spaces EXTERNALINTERNAL
*js:%external%.toString().replace(/\s+/g,"")
Let me show you how I have selected the Data type - Master Data /text from NW BW Infoobject
Selection of infoobject - 0costcenter
Format - External Format
Set Selection - first Tab - Attribute I only wante the Control Area which is 1000 so - Control Area = 1000
2nd Tab - Hierarchy - Import Text node - yes Hierarchy node - xxxxxxx Version - Empty Member ID - first member Level - Blank
3rd Tab Language - English
4th Tab Attribute list - Controling Area only is selected
Note: Let me tell you that when I am loading the Master data with out Hierarchy inthe Set Selection the loading is succesful but when I am doing it with the Hierarchy as mentioned in the 2nd Tab I am getting the error as following.
Master data (dealt by table level) has errors
Detected duplicate member ID '201100'
Also, the Master data for Cost Center in the BW is a time dependent so it is having Valid to and Valid from fields which is not there to be delt in the BPC.
Please Help

@Vinay let me tell you when the BW is having the master data which is time dependent then it will have this Duplicate member as we will have duplicate cost center names which are compounded with the Time, so BW will not show an error as there is compounding but BPC do not have that feature.
The was raised with SAP and they resolved this issue.
SAP Note 1641529 - Loading Master Data gets duplicate error in special case
When running Data Manager Package 'Loading Master Data from BW
InfoObjects', 'Duplicate Members are found' error may be reported in below
case:
o In the source BW InfoObjects, there are master data that have
different lengths, and their IDs are all numeric characters. And
o If the members are sorted by their lengths first and then IDs gets
a different order compared with the one if they are sorted directly
by their IDs. Take member '122' and '1101' for instance. In BW,
they are sorted as [122, 1102]; if they are sorted directly by the
IDs, the order is [1102, 122]. And
o when running the package, the members are in both 'Attribute' and
'Hierarchy' selection, and the option Filter members by Attributes
or Hierarchies is used. And
o Select 'External Format' when running the package.
Other terms
DM, Loading Master Data from BW, Duplicate Members
Reason and Prerequisites
It's a program error.
Solution
Please apply this note or upgrade to SP11.
I hope this will help you else let me know the entire requirements so that I can provide some kind of assistance.
Do check how the master data in ur BW is then how the hierarchy nodes and costcenter nodes are there?
Good Luck

View of Date track history change field summary

Hi experts,
In Oracle HRMS, we have the function "Date Track History" in People/assignment. In the summary window of Date Track history, we have column which is named "Change Field Summary". For reporting purpose, I am looking for the view/function/package/... which can show type of data.
For example:
- If I give certain assignment number/assignment id, view/function can return "Birth Date, Full Name, Known As" in "Change Field Summary".
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vigneswar,
Thanks for reponse.
The view PER_ASSIGNMENT_HISTORY_VIEW shows data changes in columns, it is similiar with HRFV_PERSON_ASSIGNMENT_HISTORY view. However It does not show us which columns were changed like in "Date track history change field summary" window. I don't have access to Unix server, so that I can't do the trace stuff.
Thanks and Regards,

Assignment Date Track History-Changed Field Summary

Hi all,
We have Oracle HR 11.5.7 FP.G.
In the HRMS there is a for the Employee's Assignment Date Track History showing the Changed Field Summary.
We want to specify the exact field(s) changed in Assignment for a period using SQL or Discoverer for Reporting Purposes.
Does anyone have any sample coding or idea on how to perform this?That is to specify exactly what fields changed in an assignment change.
What I can think of is to compare values but I'm not sure how I can get the desired result.
I would appreciate any feedback.
Thanking you in advance
Elena

Elena,
To meet you're requirement: changes per person during a period
- done this before using audit trail, be aware that the reports that comes out standard, does not resemble anything a HR user can read. Quite often it says this ID has change to that ID. Building a reports that changes this into something meaning full for a HR/Payroll person does require a considerable effort.
- using the change event log (system extract) or the retro notification report (payroll) will give you're results in a better format. Problem you may encounter here, is that not all entities are available (by default). You may have to add some dynamic triggers.
- if you want to understand how the datetrack functionality is deriving the data, this paper on metalink may help : Create and Modify DateTrack History Views Note:177734.1

BOXI Rel 3 - Data Tracking

Hi All,
I am trying to create a data tracking report which highlights the change of difference (value = current month value - previous month value). I will have a prompt which prompts user to select different year-month...
Currently I can see the data tracking working on the measure but not on the formula which reflects the difference between the two months.....
e.g.
year-month                 amount             lastmonthamount                difference
200902                          100                        0                                     0
200903                          200                        100                                +100
200904                          300                        100                                +100
Currently I can see the amount field changing colour as part of the data tracking but I want to see the other two fields change colour accordingly aswell.
Many Thanks

Data Tracking with Scheduled Webis

Using XI R3
Is this a true statement: "Data tracking will not work with scheduled webi documents or webi documents in scheduled publications because the scheduling process does not 'save' a document that it can then use as a reference for the next iteration"?
If I refresh the documents manually daily with tracking on and save them, then schedule the publication after that with the 'refresh on open' property turned off in the publication, that seems to be the only way to accomplish it.
My publication, by the way, produces pdf versions of the webis distributed vai email.
This requirement to manually run the webi documents every day really defeats the whole advantage of scheduling.

Hi Stephen.
Lets understand why data tracking requires a "save report".
When data tracking is enabled. current version of report output is compared with immediate previous version of report output. Also data tracking requires report to run and saved as HTML format. It does not work in PDF format.
In case of scheduled report, it will not work as report instance is not saved. However if you enable "Automatic Data Tracking" it seems to be possible.
I would suggest reading "Data tracking modes" Part from webi user guide. You shall get all your ans.

Does a Master Data Change Log or Report Exist?

Does anyone know of a master data change log or report?
Such a log or report would show all changes made to cons units, cons groups, and items; including additions, deletions and changes to a hierarchy.
We hope to use this to synchronize cons group/unit and item hierarchies between BCS systems: Production and Development.
For example, if a master data change was made in the Production system, we would like to log the change, and synch this change back to the Development system.
Thanks for any insight.

Thanks, TheScotsman, for really helpful information!
Some detail of the findings for those who interested:
There is a "How to... trace changes to master-data and settings for SEM-BCS" which describes all nuances of tracking changes in MD.
The HowTo mentions the reports RSVTPROT , UGMD_DB_LOG_DISPLAY, and a t-code SCU3 that may show the changes.
Certainly the code of the reports might be taken as an example for writing your own code.
Though, the reports and the SCU3 are useful when the logging of DB tables changes is activated.

Doubt in Date tracking update of person records

Dear all,
I have a doubt on the approach to be followed for a particular scenario. The following is the explanation:
Let us say we have a person record as follows:
Employee_No      Effective start Date         Marital status
100                    01-Jan-2000                  Single
Let us say HR user date tracked to 01-Jan-2010 and updated to Married
So we have the following :
Employee_No      Effective start Date    Effective end date      Marital status
100                    01-Jan-2000                31-Dec-2009            Single
100                    01-Jan-2010                31-Dec-4712            Married
Later HR found that the date of updation was not correct it should be 01-Jan-2011, which was wrongly entered as 01-Jan-2010.
Now should the HR
1) Go to the earliest record and delete the next change and then re enter with correct date? or
2) Go to 01-Jan-2010 , Correct the record to Single, go to 01-Jan-2011 update to Married.
Because Oracle allows both. In the second case, per_all_people_f will have 2 records with the same set of data but with different start and end dates.
Can any body say which is correct approach and why?
Thanks
Raj

Hi Raj,
In terms of business both the actions will fine as in reports it will show the same result.
From technical (data level) It is your decision on the way you want to go ahead.
In case of a error it is better practice to purge the next changes and update the record with correct details.
Thanks,
Sanjay

Data Tracking not working as expected

Hi,
I have created a report on a universe which is based on a BEx Query. When I run the WebI report in InfoView saved data shown, I then select tracking and select the current data (fixed) as the reference data. I then enter a key date for the data (which effively looks at data at a point in time) and the data changes but the changes are not marked. However, the reference date at the bottom of infoview is the saved data date.
I then refresh the data again and change the key date to a different date and changes are shown based on the data which I refreshed in the report NOT the saved data. I have had a look at the bottom of infoview and the data tracking reference date changed to the REFRESHED data. I then refreshed it again and the reference date remains as the refreshed data.
Just to re-confirm I did select use Fixed reference data.
Any ideas why I am having this problem?
Thanks

Hi,
The key date is in the SAP BW BEx Query which the universe is created on. The WebI report is then created on that universe. The key date changes the data.
I have just tried loading the data into SAP BW so that the data changes. I then went to the WebI report which is showing the old data and has tracking on by default when the report was created. the fixed data date at the bottom says the old date. I then refresh the new data is shown and the fixed data date changes....tracking is still not working as we expect.
Any ideas
Thanks
