Master data to be input ready usiing a query

Dear All,
I have a requirement that user needs to input master data values (like division, fiscalyear) as we input key figures in input ready query.
Actually to realize this , I have created division and fiscal year as key figures and made them input ready query. We are doing this , because we need to log the user inputs and after that to run the report based on the selections. so for logging purposes i am using input ready query to save the data in a infocube and later read them to run a process chain .
Will it has any risk involved ... My user do not want to input data using flat file.
please suggest me if there is any other way to work on this.
Regards,
Veera

Date field in Input ready query

Hi Folks,
I have created a input ready query on transactional infocube.
Its working fine and able to input for keyfigures except one keyfigure it is Date Keyfigure.
I just created one more keyfigure with Datatype as Date so that user will able to enter date aswell in input ready query.
but problem here is I have done same changes/enable for the date keyfigure like remaining keyfigures.
in query anylazer i cannot see input enable for the particual date keyfigure.
please let me know what are the steps need to do extra for the particular date keyfigure to make enable for input..
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
if it not happened by IP is there any other option available to update changes in to DSO/Infocube.
one more thing.I have a created one Multiprovider on the transactional DSO then i created query on the multiprovider,but in query designer i cannot change the option to change mode for the keyfigures.its in display mode only.
why it is not enabled.is there anythying missing to do..
Thanks..

Restrict values of characteristic in input-ready new rows query

Hello all
We are creating an input-ready new rows query. So we added characteristic as row.
We need the values in F4 (while choosing value in this row) are to be restricted by hierarchy (or just restricted by some algorithm - list of values). But if we choose "hierarchy" for that characteristic, it will also appear in rows, so not one posted value will appear, but full hierarchy for this value. How to make F4 for choosing restricted values of any characteristic.
Reason: we have different account plans for different years and don't want users to choose "old" positions.
Cheers, Yuri

Hello, Yuri!!!
Try to use next variants:
1) Authorization
restrict you characteristic in RSECADMIN
2) COMPAUND
You can add compaund characteristic to you main characteristic, and if you restrict this compaund characteristic in filter, then in query you'll see only appropriate values
3) FILTER
You can restrict not only fixed values, but you can use prequery for you characteristic. For example make DSO in which will be calmonth and account in key. And make query to take accounts for calmonth. After that in you main query restrict you account through variables with replace path type (set query for accunts for month).
4) Relation in RSPLAN
Create DSO(as in case 3) and try to use relation for you realtime cube in RSPLAN.

Data from an Input ready query back into BW

Hi All,
One of the reports I am working on should allow users to write comments for each characteristic value (i.e in each row). I have toyed with different ways of doing it, but based on our company specific requirements, I have finally arrived at this design - Users enter comments in a column in an input ready query and the data is sent back to a real time cube.
However, I have never done this kind of stuff before. Can anyone please give me a step by step procedure of how to achieve this?
The most informative answer will be rewarded with the highest points.
Thank you.

I had already tried the document property in BI, but unfortunately it did not seem to work. This is the error I got when I did a right click on a characteristic value -> Documents -> Create new comment
u201CCannot determine the KM folder for storing documents with these types of propertiesu201D
u201CError while launching new document dialogu201D
http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/6505/docproperror1wg8.jpg
When I asked my basis team about this error, they had no clue what it meant and they thought it had to do with KM, and currently we do not have KM enabled in BI portal. Thats the reason why I had look for an alternative. However, I am pretty sure its not a KM issue because I believe "Characteristic is a Document Property" is a standard out-of-box BI property.
Do you know what that means and how to fix it?

How to calculate and save planning data in bex input-ready query using keyfigures for calculation from different infoproviders

Hi Dear All,
We have two real time infocubes and two aggregation levels based on these cubes in one multiprovider
first cube1 is like
char1| char2| keyfig_coefficient(single value for each combination of char1 and char2)
same aggregation level1
(we have input query to fill coefficients by one responsible user)
second cube2 is like
char1| char2| keyfig_quantity| keyfig_result
same aggregation level2
Input ready query should be like (for all other users of different org units)
char1|char2|keyfig_coeff| keyfig_quant(for input) | keyfig_result = keyfig_coeff*keyfig_quant(calculated value, should be saved to cube2)
And we don't have pregenerated lines in cube2, users have to add new lines themselves by wad.
Question is, what is the optimal (easiest) way to make calculation and save result data to cube2 where keyfigures for calculation should be used from different infoproviders. I need just a hint.
Appreciate any help.
Nadya.

I found decision, agregation levels sould be based on multiprovider, not included.

Restriction data entry for input ready query

Dear All,
I have an input ready query with two structures for rows and columns.
However, I have set one of columns' structure's member as "data can be changed with planning functions", i'm able to enter data for that column. When i execute save function, entered valus are being disapperaed.(not benig written to the cube)
But i want to restrict data entrance for that column. (Like display functionality in BPS)
I know i can protect fields with excel functionality, but we are using web environment.
How can i resolve mentioned issue?
Thanks
Alkan

Hi Bindu,
Thanks for your quich answer.
In web environment, i think i need to use WEB API.
Do i need to write java script? Or is there any particular class to manage the properties of the cells?

Master data is not getting displayed in the Query Designer

Hi,
I have a DSO in which I have an InfoObject called Emp No. in the Data Field.
The Emp.No is being maintained as master with (Emp Name, Address, Telephone No, DOB) as attributes.
I have loaded the data in the Emp. No. master. Then tried loading the transaction data in DSO.
The Emp.No is there in the DSO active data, but in the query designer its not getting displayed.
Hope its clear.
Please help.
Thanks

Hi,
I have brought the Emp. No. in the Key Field and also have activate the master data again.
Yet my Query Designer doesn't have the Emp. No.
I have done a full load for both Master and Transaction.
Please advice me what the other alternative.
Thanks

SAP BI - OLAP variable in DTP unable to read from input ready variable in query

Hello,
Here's the problem:
We have a process chain which is launched in a WAD.
We would like to filter the DTPs in the PC with the values entered in the variable screen of the WAD
I created a variable of type customer exit X which reads the input ready variable Y in CMOD.
Customer exit variable X was placed in the filter of the DTP.
The input ready variable Y in the query contained in the WAD.
I am getting an error that customer exit variable X is getting not value.
Is it possible to read an input ready variable in a customer exit variable placed in a DTP?
Or am I missing a step here?
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Hi Anjalee,
Maybe it would be good to share a bit more information on your scenario and the chosen solution design. I am currently missing the point of triggering a Process Chain using Web Application Designer.
Anyway, I recommend to be careful with using OLAP variables in DTP filters. For sure not all functionality is present, e.g. because the variable pop-up is absent. Your constellation of an input ready variable and a customer-exit variable will only work in the context of a BEx Query and probably not if used in a DTP filter.
Best regards,
Sander

Can the partner master data ( name, text ) be used in a Query

Hi,
I have a requirement to have query against CRM cubes/ods, which can query data by Partner address or text (Short description, Medium description or Long description).
For example, the cube has a characteristic 0CRM_SOLDTO ( Sold to party ) and we can always write a query which will have this field as a variable in the selection field and then query the appropriate data. But can we also query the data as per the partner name or short description or address( say zip code ? ).
If yes can you please let me know how. For example consider the following simple example cube which has a characteristics as Customers( say 1000001... and the characteristics "customer" has master and text data ( short text say "company x".
How to write a query against the cube which will take the customer text as input field and display the relevant data.
Thanks
Arunava

Hi
I am even not aware of a standard function to do it. But one more option I can think of. But this only applicable with simple reports & with restricted kef figures.
1. You create a dummy sold-to-party (S2)
2. Add it to the same or different dimension as that of origional sold-to-party (S1) in the cube.
3. Create a structe in the report for your KFs or RKFs.
4. Create one RKF with S2 and with some key figure like "no of records". Create a variable V2 on S2 (user entry) and include this in the RKF. Hide this RKF. (So, basically you use this RKF to invoke the variable V2 to accept the Text of sold to party when the report is executed).
5. Include the required KFs (or RKFs with S1) in the structure. Create a customer exit varaible V1 (Not ready for input) on S1. In this exit, determine the Sold to Party ID from the Text entered in V1 & the text table of sold to party.
Basically, what ever we do in update rules (as suggested earlier), now we do it in a customer exit. hope this helps.

atlaj

Input ready query is not showing loaded data in the cube

Dear Experts,
In Input ready query we have problem that it is not showing the values which was not entered by throught hat query. Is any settings in input ready query that we can do to populate the loaded data on the cube as well as data entered through Input ready query itself.
Thanks,
Gopi R

Hi,
input ready queries always should display most recent data (i.e. all green and the yellow request). So you can check the status of the requests in the real-time InfoCube. There should exist only green requests and maybe at most one yellow request.
In addition you can try to delete the OLAP cache for the plan buffer query: Use RSRCACHE to do this. The technical names of the plan buffer query can be found as follows:
1. InfoCube\!!1InfoCube, e.g. ZTSC0T003/!!1ZTSC0T003 if ZTSC0T003 is the technical name of the InfoCube
2. MPRO\!!1MPRO, e.g. ZTSC0M002/!!1ZTSC0M002 if ZTSC0M002 is the technical name of the multiprovider
If the input ready query is defined on an aggregation level using a real-time InfoCube, the first case is relevant; if the aggregation level is defined on a multiprovider the second case is relevant. If the input-ready query is defined on a multiprovider containing aggregation levels again the first case is relevant (find the real-time InfoCubes used in the aggregation level).

Load master data using input schedules

Hi all,
Does there exist a way to load and modify master data using input schedules?
Regards,
Nithya

Hi Nithyapriya,
Chiming in here to 2nd Joost's statement above. As of BPC 5.1 version, it is not possible to update master data from an Input schedule.
Whether that's possible in other products or with BPC 7.0 NW (currently in Ramp-up), is another story. For now, the general answer is that it's not possible.
This is a known area for improvement with BPC at this time, and we're sure to hear more about either integration with NetWeaver or some other methods of making things more dynamic, or with SSIS packages, etc.. in the future.

Input ready query - not ready for input

I have created the following in IP:
1. A multiprovider based on an actuals cube (Standard infocube) and a plan cube (realtime - data can be planned not loaded).
2. An Aggregation level on the multiprovider - containing infoobjects: 0version, employee, WBS element, infoprovider, fiscal year, fiscal year variant, 0currency and 0amount.
3. A filter on the following infoobjects: employee (=123456), wbs element(XX.XX.XXX.X), version (variable - mandatory; ready for input), fiscal year(2008) and fiscal year variant(XX).
4. A planning function to copy from version 0 (actual) to version 866 (random Value - Master data exists).
I have created a query on the multiprovider and set the query properties correctly. I have also created two restricted key figures as follows:
1. Actual (Restricted by infoprovider = actual; version = 0; fy = 2007; fyvar = XX)
2. Plan (Restricted by infoprovider = plan ; version = input-ready variable; fy = 2008; fyvar = XX)
I have used all the infoobjects in the agg. level in the query. I am using the same version number (866) on the query selection screen as defined in the filter.
When I run the query, I can see only the actuals line. The plan keyfigure is not ready for input (although keyfigure properties are set to "Data can be changed using user entries or planning functions).
What am I doing wrong which is preventing the plan keyfigure from opening up for planning?
I have also tried to create an agg. level on the plan infocube with similar settings as above. When I run the query, I get a no data found result - which I think is right because there is no data in the planning cube.
PS: When I use the wizard in the planning modeler the keyfigure (0amount) can be changed.

Hi Avya,
Use a filter on the 0currency, for a particular currency type. (if problem is: currency type keyfigures are not input ready)
This will mak it input ready.

Currency translation - not picking up currencies from master data

Hi,
We have a currency translation defined for a key figure. We've defined a variable for users to select target currency. 0currency is set to pick up from master data, but the input help on the variable is only showing currencies from infoprovider. I debugged the query and it is trying to get the currencies from the cube. Any setting that I do or update?
We're using BW 7.3 SP10 on HANA.
Sonni

HI
Once check in the BEx tab of that IO, there select the f4 option.
