Filter a query based on virtual characteristic

Hi,
I have a query with a virtual characteristic.
I need to filter the query based on the results in that characteristic.
Can it be done?
If not, can I delete records after the stage where the characteristic is filled and before the result of the query appears?
Thanks,
Hagit

Hi Hagit,
To filter a query on the value of a virtual characteristic value directly would not be possible.
Please check the below Forum topic and see if the note 1088469 helps you find a solution to your problem.
Virtual characteristics or key figures load data with BIA/BWA?
Alternatively, you can think about using a query viewwith filter to filter the virtual characteristic value. Do not have a refined solution suggestion, but you can think in that direction, I guess.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Abhishek.

BEx query based on virtual cube donu00B4t display a valid List of Value (LOV)

Hello
I have a problem with an invalid LOV. The scenario is the following; There´s a BEx query based on a virtual cube. The query has an exit variable on caracteristic that is based on 0CALMONTH.
At Universe Designer I simply create a connection, a universe based on this query and export.
At Web Intelligence (also at Live Office), when I try to execute de query, the prompt to fill my exit variable display a list of value that doesn´t match with the values of the caracteristic at the cube.
Actually, the list at the prompt starts with 01.0000 and finishes with 05.0968.
In Universe Designer, the option to edit the list of values is not available. But I think that editing the LOV is not the correct way.
I´ve tried creating a new query based on the DSO that is the source of the virtual cube. In this case, I had a valid list. Unfortunately, I can´t use this DSO.
Did anyone already have this problem?

Hi James,
can you explain what you mean with "input length for that filed" ?
The field in the table is varchar2(120). I coudn't found options for the List of value.
Thanks for your response

Filter a Query Based on the Output of Another Query

Is it possible to run a query based on the put put of another query? I have two queries. One query is based on GL Line items and shows the account assignemnt of postings where a customer has had a debt raised and it been credited to an account assignment e.g. Order, Cost Centre or Profit Centre. The other query is on an AR cube and that shows payment made. I want to bring these together to show the owners of the various account assignments to what extent customers have actually paid the debts that have been raised and credited to them. This I do as the source document of the CO doscument matches the allocation of the ar document. So I have a query that shows the CO journal and another query that shows payments. But I only want to show the payments in the second query for documents displayed in the first query (which can be restricted by period and fiscal year and the particular account assignment).

Hi,
This can be acheived by usign a replacement path variable.
Create replacement pathe variables for those the filter values in the second report nneds tobe restricted from the first.
Then in the properties of the varioable say replce by query result and input the first query name in it.
Use these variables in teh filter section of the second report.
Make sure the characteristics for which you created the replacement path variables are in teh row section of the first Query.
Now on executing the second query you will have it filtered based on teh values of the first Query.
Hope this helps.

Shafi.

Dynamic filter on time characteristics on OLAP SAP BEX query based universe

Dear all,
I'm currently working on the integration between SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0 and SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1 FP 1.5 via integration kit.
I've built an OLAP universe on the top of a BW query based on a multiprovider that contains 10 infocubes.
Everything works fine but I need to create a filter in the OLAP universe that allows to restrict data by current date (e.g. using TIME characteristic of Infocube such as 0CALDAY or 0CALMONTH). From that filter we could start creating other conditions to compare data to different time periods.
I've already tried to use a SAP exit variable in a BW query but this kind of object would restrict query data only by current date and for example it would be impossible to browse data by previous years (to bypass this problem we could use restricted key figures with different offsets but we have too many key figures in the query and the number of restrictions
would rise exponentially).
In a relational DataBase we can do that using a "where condition" based on 'CURRENTDATE' (SQL DB2 syntax).
Now, we need to apply the same logic but translated in MDX syntax.
Is it possible to enter a dynamic filter in the OLAP universe or just fixed or promt values ?
Any advise?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.
M.

Hi Ingo,
1) My question is: "How can I have to manage variable in BEX queries and in the UNIVERSE in order to obtain the maximum flexibility to create reports with measures on actual day (for example) without asking the user to promt a value ?"
I want to use an unique BEX query to define an unique UNIVERSE. On this UNIVERSE I want to create many reports (actual day, previous day, and so on).
If I restrict 0CALDAY with an EXIT variable then shall I be able to create a different restrictions on the same Universe based on 0CALDAY ?
2) Another question is:
Is it possible to insert an XML / MDX filter on the OLAP Universe with dynamic derivation of the system date ?
For example:
Instead of this:
<FILTER KEY="[0FISCYEAR].[LEVEL01].[NAME]">
    <CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal">
        <CONSTANT CAPTION="Z12008"></CONSTANT>
    </CONDITION>
</FILTER>
Is it possible to insert a tag with a dynamic function to derive the system date ?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

Query field calculation based on a characteristic field

Hi
I have a req wherein the query has a field "Balance". Now here the value of the Balance field is calculated based on another characteristic "0bal_flag". 0bal_flag has values "X" or blank. The 0bal_flag is actually a attr of 0gl_account and i have it as a nav attr in my cube.
The calculation goes like this....
If 0bal_flag = 'X' then "Balance" = balance (there is a balance field in underlying infoprovider)
else "Balance" = Debit -credit (these fields are also there in underlying infoprovider....)
So how do i achieve this...?
Since 0bal_flag is a char I cannot use it directly in a formula....
Thanks
Gaurav

Hi Gaurav,
Create a replacement path formula variable on the 0bal_flag with evaluate as boolean checked, you will get the values 1 when flag is X and 0 when the flag is initial, now you can use this 'formula variable' in the formula
((0bal_flag==1)balance)+((0bal_flag==0)(debit-credit))
hope this helps,
Rk.

BW 3.5: Filter Characteristic based on another Characteristic

Hi guys, I need your help.
I have created one query. In this query, there is 2 characteristic in filter condition. The first one is Consolidation Group (single variable and input come from user) and the second is partner unit (hardcode/ constant : A500, A700, A710, A720, A730, A740). The problem is user want dynamic filter condition for Partner Unit.
So I need to change the filter condition for this characteristic.User want this condition happen:
- If user input Consolidation Group = '10000' then partner unit will be filtered by : 'A500', 'A700'
- If user input Consolidation Group = '10130' then partner unit will be filtered by : 'A710','A720'
- If user input Consolidation Group = '10140' then partner unit will be filtered by : 'A730','A740'
When user want this condition happen, I think I must use hierarchy because there is possibility to add another partner unit in consolidation group (example: If user add partner unit 'A800' in consolidation group '10000' (in SAP system) then partner unit will be filtered automatically with 'A500', 'A700', and 'A800').
My question is:
1. Where do I need to create hierarchy? On characteristic Consolidation Group or Partner Unit?Because both infoobject don't have any hierarchy at all
2. How to create dynamic hierarchy filter condition? Because in this problem, static hierarchy filter condition can't solve the problem. What i mean dynamic in here is when user input consolidation group 10000 then Partner Unit will be restricted to node Cons Group 10000 and so on...
Thank you and Regards,

How to create Virtual InfoProvider with Services - Virtual Characteristic

Hi all,
I need to create a virtual infoprovider that also fills a virtual characteristic in order to display custom characteristics and calculated values based on user selection.
Basicaly what I want to do is send a variable in a virtual characteristic equal to the values I want to fill in the characteristic. So for instance if my base cube contains the infoobjects Brand, Product Line, Region and Country I want a have a new infoobject that has no data, but fills itself with the vales of the infoobject I specify at query time on the virtual cube.
The reason for this is I am trying to create a WAD using the delta chart (waterfall graph) that will show the difference between the plan and actual totals for a specific characteristic in Profitibility analysis.
I have a document that explains the situation. Send me your mail address and I will send you the document.
Kind Regards

We found a way to build the structure for this.

Hi Gael,
your URL is made up of :
[ProcedureName]?[parameter1]=[value1]&[parameter2]=[value2]
creating URLs like this can have problems especially with spaces and punctuation.
the answer is a FORM
the following will create a hidden form :
FORM ACTION="[ProcedureName]" METHOD="POST" name="F1"
INPUT type="HIDDEN" name="[parameter1]" value="[value1]"
INPUT type="HIDDEN" name="[parameter2]" value="[value2]"
/FORM
you can set the values in the form using:
document.F1.[parameter1].value="abc123%%&&$$!";
document.F1.submit();
will submit the form and the PL/SQL procedure should receive the text as it was contained in the form.
the only characters that can now cause problems are :
" as it delimits the field.
' as it may cause problems in PL/SQL.
\ as it is a special character.

Add new virtual characteristic in report writer

Dear gurus,
I would like to add a new virtual characteristic 'ZZWKDT' (work done date) so that I can filter my report with this selection criteria. This field has been added to structure "CI_CCR1S". But I don't have any idea on where should I code my program in order to tell the system to fill the "Work done date" from the data I retreived and filter tthose record which not meet with user selection from being displayed.
Pls guided me accordingly asap.

Simple logic - virtual characteristic

I'm writing a code for a virtual characteristic, but need a couple pieces to get in place. please help with the following problem:
In my logic, I have an internal table itab1 whose contents are as follows:
plant sale
1001 100
1001 50
2001 300
First I want to aggregate multiple rows like below:
plant sale
1001 150
2001 300
Second, I want to create another internal itab2 which ranks plants as follows:
plant sale rank
1001 150 2
2001 300 1
Please help with logic.

Hello,
1) When you select values in the internal table make you select statement as below;
select plant sum( sales ) as sales from table into corresponding fields of table itab1 group by plant.
This will give output as:
plant sale
1001 150
2001 300
2) For ranking, i believe you want them to be ranked based on the sales they have. For that do the foll:
data: count(3) type n.
itab2[] = itab1[].
sort itab2 descending by sales.
count = 1.
loop at itab2 into wa2.
wa1-rank = count.
modify itab2 from wa2.
count = count + 1.
endloop.
clear count.

How to filter list items based on security groups in o365.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to filter list items based on the Office 365 security groups.
If that is the case, I suggest you can create a data view to filter the list items with CAML Query like below:
<Where>
<Membership Type="CurrentUserGroups">
<FieldRef Name="VisibleToGroup"/>
</Membership>
</Where>

Hi Laurent,
You can attempt this using replacememtn path variable for the char you need to filter by. This is called Result Set Query. See here for details:

You can achieve this using Customer Exit or BADI. Check the folllowing link.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ac/ef1f43daac9a448f0150a02e3a7aba/content.htm
If you are using BADI
You can create Virtual CHAR in BADI using transaction SE19
In this transaction you can create a new or display the existing BADI.
There you can see two tabs
The Attribute Tab we need to give the name of the Multiprovider on which the query with the virtual char is getting executed.
The Inerface Tab has three following sections. Need to write the ABAP code for all the three.
Define : Defind all the characteristics and virtual char that will be used for populating virtual char
Initialize : Initialize them
Compute : Here you will have to write the logic for populating the virtual char.
Once the logic is written then you can use this char in your query .
Hope this helps.
