Discoverer Report - Drill down

Hi Friends,
initially I have executed the discoverer report and got the data in 5 min, but when I am trying to drill down for some column the same report It is re-executing the query again. Actually while doing drill down it should not re-execute the query.
Kindly suggest is there any setting/solution for the same.
Regards
Pankaj

Are you drilling down by choosing the 'drill to related item' or something like that?
Or are you using a hierarchy that you've set up already?
I'm asking as I've never like the drill-down concept in Disco in that you get all columns back in another worksheet that's totally ugly and not end user friendly.
However, when I've set up a hierarchy and drilled down the hierarchy it just opens the new rows within the level I'm at in the same worksheet and doesn't seem to take any more time.

Discoverer Viewer - Drill down option

Dear all
I created a report in discoverer desktop, with drill down option for financial information.It works fine in Disco Desktop. All the drill down options are working fine as well. But the same report when run in disco viewer, it has got an option for drilling down further, then another option for collapse(with the blue button) - to view the summary value.
When the collapse option is chosen, the blue color button disappears in Viewer and wouldnt know how to drill down back without reloging into the application.
Could you please help me how to solve this problem, as I need to share this report with users who has viewer access only?We are using 9i at the moment.
Thanks.

Hi Russ
I have heard folks having awful issues with IE 7. It seems to mess up everything Oracle. Sounds like Oracle and Microsoft have some hurdles to cross. For now I would advise everyone to either stay on IE 6 or use another browswer like Firefox.
To answer the specific question posted here, it is possible that the user has hit one of the well known Discoverer bugs wherein Discoverer Viewer cannot properly execute workbooks created in Desktop. There are fixes and one-off patches available for this in MetaLink but these patches all require a password to download them. I would advise the raising of a service request and in the request spefically ask if there is a one-off patch that will fix this.
Best wishes for now

Discoverer plus drill down looses workbook formatting

Hi,
I am having a strange issue with my discoverer workbook. I have created a report with drill down for example
here is the hierarchy i am trying: [http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/6787/hierarchy.png]
now on the net sales level I have grouped the region column by selecting "Group Sort" on that column and same on the customer column and net sales column. but the problem happens when i go down to the next level. for example the customer level at this point the grouping of the region goes away and the report looks ugly. so basically it has lines like:
Net Sales east region cust1
Net Sales east region cust2
Net Sales west region cust1
Net Sales west region cust2
instead of:
Net Sales east region cust1
cust1
west region cust1
cust2
hope that makes sense of my problem. so the group sort just goes away when i drill down. please help

Hi,
I tried your suggestion but that didn't work. i still loose formatting when i drill up and then drill back down.
I thought maybe these images will help better explain please have a look. I had to break it to make the images look more clear.

How can i call one report from another report (Drill Down Approach)

Hi Friends,
I've two reports in completely different layout format.
One is in Crosstab & another is in Tabular.
Now i want to call my Tabular report(report 1) from my Crosstab (report 2) without using BO's default drill down feature. Or, you can show using BO's feature if it supports my requirement.
How to do that?
Is it at all possible?
Please share your thoughts. Thanks in advance for your time.
Regards.
Satyaki De.

hi
you can use openDocument for this.
[http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_url_reporting_opendocument_en.pdf]
I would suggest to use variables that build the HTML code for the hyperlinks dynamically, and display them in your crosstab. Set the display option for the related cells (ie. the cells where your variables are displayed in) so that the cell's contents as interpreted as HTML code.

Stratos

Report Writer GR55 Report drill down line items

Hi all,
We have a GLT0 Report in Report writer. The system correctly executes the report and displays account balance for the period. The Report calls T-code FBL3 for display of line items(report/report interface). But when we drill down, the line items are not displayed for the specific period or selection and instead displays the line items for the whole period. (upto date).
The report was copied from a different system and in the source system it was displaying the line items correctly.
Could you pl share any inputs for resolving this issue.
Thanks & Regards
Sri.

The issue was fixed by assigning FS10N to the report and drilling down line items from there.

Balance Sheet , P&L Report Drill Down Reports

Hello Experts,
One of my client requires Balance Sheet, P&L Reports with drill down capability.
Ex: In standard B1, When you run a balance sheet you will see summary of accounts. Client needs to look into the details from summary report by drill down capability. Have anyone worked with same reports before? Please help.

Hi Praneeth,
On the balance sheet, on the top right corner there is a field called - Level - on which you can select 1 to 5 levels. The level 5 gives the complete picture of each account. Same for other financial report like trial balance. Hope that solves your problem.
Thanks,

URGENT: Issue with hierarchy level keys and report drill down

Hi,
BASIC STRUCTURE:
I have created a subject area with 3 facts (FACT_A, FACT_B, FACT_C) and 4 dimesnions (TIME_DIM,DIM_2,DIM_3,DIM_4). Each fact table also has additional aggregate tables aggregated along levels of the time dimension. Also our timw dimension has aggregated dimension tables like TIME_DIM_WEEK, TIME_DIM_MONTH, TIME_DIM_QUARTER and TIME_DIm_YEAR.
GOAL:
All 3 facts have the same measures M_1 and M_2 in them but may not have data for the same dimension values selected.
For example
For month JAN 2000 FACT_A.M1=100$ and no data exists for JAN 2000 in FACT_B and FACT_C. Then in the report
for JAN2000 it should show FACT_A.M1= $100, FACT_B.M1 = 0 and FACT_C.M1 =0. In this case I should be able to drill down to the lowest level.
ISSUE:
The time dimension TIME_DIM has the following levels - Total -> Year -> Quarter -> Month -> Week -> Day
However I am having an issue with drill down in the reports whenever I pull metrics from more than 1 fact at a time. I have defined the level keys but not sure if I need to do anything in addition since I am using aggregates.
I have to fix this issue quickly. Please help me.

Alastair,
All the fact tables have aggregated facts as sources.
I have checked the levels set for each of the sources to the time dimesnion table in BMM and they look okay. So the Time dim table in BMM has 4 source tables
Time_Day (level set to day, table key is "day"),
Time_month (level set to month, table key is "Fiscal_Month_Code"),
Time_Quarter(level set to quarter, table key is "Fiscal_Quarter_Code") and
Time_Year(level set to year, table key is :Fiscal_Year_Code").
Note: No time week aggregate added as logical source.
Again the time dim hierarchy based off of this table has levels: Total -> Year ->quarter -> Month -> week -> day
The levels keys set for each level are
Year -> Primary key is Year_Name (YYYY)(Checked as chronological key) and another key is Year_Num (YYYY)(Checked as chronological key)
Quarter->Primary Key is Quarter_Name (YYYY Qn), another key is Quarter_Number (Format n where n can assum values 1,2,3,4). Both keys are set as chronological keys
Month -> Primary key is Month_Name (MON YYYY), another key is Month_Num (Format n where n can assume values from 1 to 12) Both keys are set as chronological keys
Week -> Primary Key is week name (YYYY Wk nn, where nn can have values from 1 to 53), another key is week num (nn, where nn can have values from 1 to 53)
Day -> primary key set to day (date format)
Issue1: When I try to drill to lower levels it throws out an error saying report cannot find any data because filters may be too restrictive even though I see data at higher level
For ex: If I drill down to Year: 2010 and Qtr: 2010 Q2 and M1:$100 when I click on Qtr to drll to month level it throws me the error
Issue2: when I add year and qtr colums to the report I see data as below which is incorrect
Year_Name Qtr_Name data:FACTA_M1 Data: FactB_M1
2009 2009 Q1 $10 $5
2009 2009 Q2 $20 $80
2009 2009 Q3 $20
2009 2009 Q4 $30
2010 2010 Q1 $100
2010 Q2 $101
2010 Q3 $102 $230
2010 Q4 $103
2011 Q1 $10
In the above example year_name is not showing up for 2010 Q2 and after. However if I change the primary key for level 'Quarter' by having key consist of year name and quarter name instead of just quarter name the issue doesnt occur and drill down works great. The only issue is when I drill from qtr it first shows year name and quarter name instead of showing the next level which would be month name.
Sorry about the long message but I thought you might notice something in how I have set up the keys.
Thanks

Report drill-down

Hi
I am having an unsual case. We are executing a standard reports profit centre report that we used to drill-down before. Today, it is acting differnet. For e.g there is a balance appearing for a GL account where the total as at end of the period is zero. If the alance on the report is double-clicked to view the line items it gives a list of documents that equals to zero. I cannot understand why the the report is showing a balance.
Thanks & Rgds

Some things you might to check:
Actuals/ Plan values?
Same version?
Has somebody changed report recently?
Have you run line item transactions individually and compared?

Profit centre report drill down total

Hi
I am executing S_ALR_87009722 proft centre report from period 0 to 1. The balance of a bank account is 76,729.18.
When I drill down to actual line items it's showing the break-ups amounting to 3,320.17; which is only the break up for period 1. Shouldn't this show the break-up of the balance as at the report date?
We need to see the break-up for 76,729.18 (Balance as at end of period 1).
The Profit centre currency is different to company code currency and the transaction currency.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks & Rgds
Nadini

Profit Center Reports / drill down to assigned internal orders

Hello guys,
our company does project business. Our project landscape has been implemented in SAP using a profit-center-structure for reporting purpose and internal orders for every project.
The internal orders (projects) are assigned to a profit center belonging to the conducting profit-center-group (responsible department).
Question 1:
Further development of Profit CenterReport S_ALR_87013340 allowing for a drill down from the profit centers to the actual projects that have been assigned to that profit centers.
Currently (standard report) each profit center can only be watched in a cumulated way. Since many projects can be assigned to one profit center a drill down to the actual project is required.
Question 2:
Currently the desired report Profit Center Report S_ALR_87013340 shows the balance. It is desired to see only the cost incurred on the projects, not the settlement. The report should only show pre-selected cost elements. How can we exclude certain cost elements?
Could you please give us some hints how to handle our issues?
Regards

Hi,

A1: you can created cost elements(account group) with selected cost elements and use same group in report.
Or
A2:enter only selected cost elements in report P&L account group in multiple selection.

Reports drill down feature

Hello,
there is drill down option that can be used during user-defined report creation
(SQL Developer 3.1 EA1)
Do you know where I can find documentation on how to setup it?
Thanks,
Andrey

Hi Slevi,
You are right with the understanding of the Drill down function. To have a drill down function available the minimum requirement is have at least a single group in the report.
When we have a group with some underlying data and then when we would like to see data for a particular group, we can see a u201Cmagnifying glassu201D symbol which indicates that there is data for this group and we can use the Drill down function.
When you drill on a particular group, the data for that group is shown in a new tab.
I hope this provides some information about the Drill down function used in Crystal Reports.

Prashant Saduwale.

Web Intelligate Summer Report drill down and drill up problem

I use summary table and @aggreage_aware function to design a universy. I want WI report shows highest level summary table data first, then drill down to next high summary table data. But when I drill up back, it still shows be next high summary table data. I don't use the report to do any calculations. I just want it shows different level data.
Detail:
I have three tables:
1. Month_Data table: - Base fact data table.
Year
Quarter
Month
Department ID
Supplier ID
Score          -- Measure type
2. Quarter_Data table: - High level summary table.
Year
Quarter
Department ID
Supplier ID
Score          -- Measure type
3. Year_Data table: - Highest level summary table.
Year
Department ID
Supplier ID
Score          -- Measure type
I like to create a web intelligence report that shows data from year_data table:
Year          Score
2008          105
2007          99
2006          90
If I drill one level down, It will show data from quarter_data table:
Year (example 2007)
Quarter1     Score
Quarter2     Score
Quarter3     Score
Quarter4     Score
If two level drill down, it will show data from month_data table:
Quarter1
     Month1          Score
     Month2          Score
     u2026
     Month12                     Score.
No calculation needed on the report.
I will use follow steps to create a universe:
1. Three tables will be three classes. The classes order is:
     Year_Data class; Quarter_Data class; Month_Data class.
2. When I create universe, I join:
Year_Data class to   Quarter_data class:
Year to year                1 to n
Department ID to Department ID          1 to n
Supplier ID to Supplier ID          1 to n
Quarter_Data class to Month_Data class:
Year to Year               1 to n
Quarter to quarter               1 to n
Department ID to Department ID          1 to n
Supplier ID to Supplier ID          1 to n
3. Create a filter class with object Department ID and supplier ID.
4. I create two aggregate aware classes:
Agg_dimension class:
     Year:    aggregate_aware(year_data.year, quarter_data.year, month_data.year)
     quarter: aggregate_aware(quarter_data.quarter, month_data.quarter)
     Month:     aggregate_aware(month_data.month);
Agg_Measure class:
     Score: aggregate_aware(year_data.score, quarter_data.score, month_data.score)
5. I may re-define year, quarter, month and score as aggregate_aware function for objects in all classes:
     Year:     aggregate_aware(year_data.year, quarter_data.year, month_data.year)
     quarter: aggregate_aware(quarter_data.quarter, month_data.quarter)
     Month:     aggregate_aware(month_data.month);
     Score:   aggregate_aware(year_data.score, quarter_data.score, month_data.score)
6. create user hierarchies:
agg_dimension.Year
agg_dimension.quarter
agg_dimension.month
7. Figure out Aggregate Navigation -- it is easy.
Then create a report. I put follow objects on report:
Agg_dimension.year          agg_measure.score
When I run report, it shows right data:
Year_data.year          Year_data.score
On the report. I drill down on year, it shows right data.
Quarter_data.Year:
Quarter_data.quarter1                quarter_data.score
Quarter_data.quarter2                quarter_data.score
Quarter_data.quarter3                quarter_data.score
Quarter_data.quarter4                quarter_data.score
But when drill it up back on quarter, it shows:
Quarter_data.year     quarter_data.score1
Quarter_data.year     quarter_data.score2
Quarter_data.year     quarter_data.score3
Quarter_data.year     quarter_data.score4
Not
Agg_data.year          agg_data.score.
It has drill up back problem on my report.
Please help.
Thanks
Frank Han

Report - Drill Down and more than one evdre (problems)

Hi people!!!
I am trying to do a report with 3 evdre's. The report has some columns that are expanded using AfterRange.
The areas of expansion of the evdre's are one under the other.
The 3 evdre's works fine until I use the drill down.
After I do the drill down, just the area of my first evdre looks fine.
For my last two last evdre's, my AfterRange stops working and no drills happens.
Somebody already faced this same problem and can assist me?
Thanks a lot!!

Hi Sandro,
thanks a lot for your answer.
I understand that SLD works like a DNS - but why do I have an ExchangeProfile in the SLD?
I checked SAPSLDAPI - OK.
SLDCHECK is OK too! ... but in IB - Repository I get an error while importing SWCV: no connection to SLD.
I think I have to check the connection between IB-Repository and SLD ... bad think
