Variable creation on navigational attribute?

HI all ,
Can we create navigational  variable on navigational atribute .
regards,
Srinivas .

Hi,
When we make an attribute as navigational..then that attribute behaves exactly like any other characterstics.so
you can create variables for the same in order to drilldown the query for detailed analysis on navigational attribute level.
hope this is clear for you.

  • Variable entry from Navigational attribute

    Hi,
    I would like to let the user of a web query enter a value for a navigational attribute of a characteristic in the variable screen. How do I create variables based on nav attributes?
    Example:
    The report shows 0MATERIAL with key figures. The user should enter a Division (Nav attr of 0MATERIAL) before entering the query.
    Best Regards
    /Daniel

    Hi Daniel,
    In the infoobject maintenance of 0MATERIAL, Make sure the attribute Division has NAV property instead of DIS in the column Navigation Type.
    Then, Have you switched on the navigational attribute in Infocube.(Modify Infocube >>Nav.attributes)
    After doing these two steps you should achieve what you are trying for.

  • Varialbe creation on Navigational attribute ?

    HI all ,
    I  have a navigational attribute 0plant_0comp_code   which is restircted with some values in characteristic restrictins pane .
    and also i have created one variable with multiple single values .
    then how it is going to work ?
    regards ,
    Srinivas .

    If you are maintaining a variable then there is no point of having value restrictions in the query.
    Because if user is not giving any input in the query selection (variable), then it will consider value restriction while returning the query result. Which is wrong output as expected by user. Also, it will definitely create a confusion.
    If you want to have those values, then for the variable you have created, you can write a code under I_STEP = 1 to make these values as default values for the variable. Which will come when you will execute the query, but can be changed with user defined values.

  • F4 Input values for variables based on Navigation Attributes

    Hi,
    We would like to use the option "Q Only Posted values for navigation"  from the set F4 mode 'Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn' in the Multiprovider specific properties.
    The problem is that  this option Works for Infoobject stored on the infocube, but It doesn't work for Navigation Attributes.
    Question : Could you please tell us how to use the option "Q Only Posted values for navigation" with _Navigation Attributes _ ?
    Thx.

    Hi,
    The input help only offers values for which you can select data in the current navigational state
    Check the below link ,

  • Variable for navigational attribute affected fiscper input variable

    Dear Friends
    Initially, the query is having an input variable for fiscper. The query was able to run properly.
    When i add a input variable for a navigational attribute to the same query which is based on multiprovider, the fiscper input variable is no longer  seen.
    So, I removed the global filter for the navigational attribute and it is ok again.  I fixed a value for the navigational attribute at filter level is also fine.
    Please advise what could be the cause. Thank you so much.
    Best regards
    Bass

    Hi Bass,
    Again seems to be a strange issue, if you have two independent characteristic with two different input enabled variables then there is no reason for the variable to not to show up on selection screen.
    Once you add the new variable and save the query just make sure that you have earlier variable as it is and check the query properties popup and see the fiscper variable sequence in the variable list.

  • User entry variable on navigational attribute

    Hi,
    Can I create a Manual Entry/Default Value variable on a navigational attribute?
    Thanks,
    P R.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your replies.
    The attribute is in the master data carrying infoobject. We changed it from display to navigational after the query was created so that we can create variable. The query is based on ODS. In the query, I don't see the option of creating variable on the navigational attribute. Is there any other step to be done?
    Thanks.

  • Navigational Attribute as Text Element

    Hi...
    I have a report which shows list of Titles in the first column and the corresponding amounts based on several account and profit center restrictions in the further columns. 
    Titles basically are movie names.
    Titles have navigational attributes like Video Release Date, Theatrical Release Date. These navigational attributes can be displayed in the report. But, the user doesn't want to display them in the report. He wants them to display them as the text elements.
    As we are neither using a filter nor variable on these navigational attributes, these are not being shown as text elements.
    Is there any way, I could show these navigational attributes for a given title as text elements?
    Thanks,
    Sai.

    Ok, let's make this simple. I have a Title: 9381780, which has navigational attribute, Theatrical Release Date: 01/09/2004.
    In my query definition, I have this title restricted by this value 9381780 and the navigational attribute in the rows panel.
    Now, the query displays me the both the Title and it's navigational attribute as columns in the report.
    But, if u see the text elements, I see only Title: 9381780, because it's a filter.
    I cannot see the navigational attribute, Theatrical Release Date: 01/09/2004 in the text elements because it is neither a filter nor a variable.
    I want to display this navigational attribute, Theatrical Release Date: 01/09/2004 in as a text element.
    Hope I made it clear.
    Thanks,
    Sai.

  • Selection of charateristic value by using a navigational attribute

    Hello all.
    I'm working on BW 2004s with the integrated planning. I have this case: 0material has a navigational attribute - 0customer.
    I have a variable on the navigational attribute (ocustomer) which prompts the user to select a customer. on the next step I would like to allow the user to forecast the values for the customer's relevant materials. this issue has a problem - since a BEx query acts as a filter - and if there's no suitable data in the cube - I won't be able to see the values in the rows so the user can perform planning.
    Do any of you experts have a suggestion regarding a solution to that issue?
    Thanks,
    Tomer.

    Tomer,
        As Andrew suggested what you would need is "Master Data" option as compared to "Posted Values" option.
    Hope this helps.

  • InfoSET - Characteristic restriction by navigational attribute.

    Created an infoset on 3 ODS's
    Checked the navigational attributes i wante in ODS. (eg 0country as attribute from ZVENDOR)
    When building the query it is not possible to have the field as a navigational attribute,only as attibute.
    When I want to use it as navigational attribute I have to add it to the ODS.
    Only then it is available as Navigational attribute in the query.
    When I Add ZVENDOR in characteristics restrictions and create a variable with replacement path "Attribute value" I get the message Replace variable with INFOOBJECT.
    "Value 'I' is invalid for property 'Replace Variable With' of element 'ZVENDOR_ATTR'"
    Define a valid value for property 'Replace Variable With' of element 'ZVENDOR_ATTR'
    How do I resolve this variable error ?

    navigational attributes are not visible in infoset, you need to include those nav-attrubetes physically in to your ods-data part to be able to navigate/filter.

  • How to add Navigation attributes values via ABAP while creation of CVC

    Hi,
    I have a requirement like, I have to add navigational attributes to the cvc record while CVC creation ( /sapapo/mc62 transaction).
    There were two scenarios: 1. Usually when they load master data from BW side those navigation attributes available and when we do CVC creation it's automatically picks those values. If NOT then i have to bring Market segment and Business unit navigational attributes values from ECC via RFC function module by passing MPN and End customer division as a input.
    I am facing problem when BW side if business unit and Market segment were blank.
    Do we have any Function modules available to add navigational attributes data and should update corresponding master data tables.
    Please help me step by step process on this.
    Thanks

    Michael,
    Are you intending this as a commercial solution or a work around?
    To take an existing equivalent, one would build a view in the database tailored for each grid in an Oracle Forms application. Or a separate query layered over tables for each form/grid in a Delphi or Access application? Even if it is ninety nine percent the same over half a dozen forms/grids?
    And now you've added a whole slew of "slightly different" rowSetInfos to maintain.
    So if you wanted to add a column that needs to appear everywhere... you've just increased the workload multi-fold?
    That would be a management nightmare, wouldn't it? Not to mention yet more performance cost and a slower system?
    Hmmmm..... I'm not sure I like where this is headed... someone needs to do some convincing...

  • Variable on navigation attribute

    Hi Friends,
        Is it possible to create variable on navigation attribute?if possible we will face any kind of issues?give me u r ideas related to this
    Thanks in advance,
    kumar

    You can create variable on a characteristic info object that is present in the cube and not on nav attribute.
    Also, nav attributes are a performance dampener. If you can, try to put the characterstic in a dimension of the cube.

  • Variable on Navigational Attributes in ODS

    hi Ashwin,
    we have to logout and login again bex analyzer to reflect any changes on infoprovider, i guess you were opening bex and turn on ods navigation attribute and couldn't find it in bex query, then you logoff and login again and see the navigation attribute, you can have a try

  • Need help on Authorization on Navigational Attribute.

    Hi All,
    I am working on Authorizations.
    I am using the info Object "Material group" which is the Navigational Attribute of 0MATERIAL.
    In Reporting, I have created the Authorization Variable for Material group.
    And after this, i have created the Authorization Object in RSECADMIN and added the info Object "Material group" and harded coded the value as "1000". After this, i have created the Authorization Role in PFCG and added this authorization Object over there.And this role is assigned specific User.
    While Running the report on specific User, for Material group, filteration is not happening over there (Material group = 1000). It is showing all values for this user.
    Can you please help on this issue.
    Thanks,
    Shahina A

    Thanks for your reply. I was on leave for the past 2 days. I have checked as you suggested.
    In 0MATERIAL, 0MATL_GROUP is the attribute and i have made Authorization Relvent for this Attribute.
    And i activated the Info object 0MATERIAL.
    Then i have run the query in RSRT and found an error while running the Report.
    Can u pls help on this issue.
    Diagnosis
    The system determined the authorized characteristic values for the characteristic 0MATERIAL__0MATL_GROUP. It determined that you do not have the (analysis) authorization to view transaction data for any characteristic values or range.
    System Response
    If this situation occurs when a variable is being filled, the query cannot be executed.
    Procedure
    You must have authorization for at least one characteristic value for the characteristic 0MATERIAL__0MATL_GROUP.
    Create the appropriate analysis authorizations for the user.
    If you are only authorized for evaluations that aggregate using the characteristic 0MATERIAL__0MATL_GROUP (for ":" authorizations), use a query without this characteristic. If the characteristic is not used as a filter or in the drilldown, variables should not be used.

  • Can i filter a report based on a value of a navigational attribute?

    Hi all,
    i need to filter a report and the characteristic i need it's a navigational attribute that is already present in the infocube, can i use it as a filter or i need to add a new characteristic to the ic?
    thank you

    Hi
    You can use navigational attributes to filter your report. When you switch on the navigational attributes at the cube level, the X table or Y table will be connected to the star schema of cube.
    Navgational attributes behave like a characteristic in the report. You can create variables, filter etc on navgational attributes.
    Hope it helps.

  • Authorization for navigational attribute

    Hi Gurus,
    I am facing an authorization issue with respect to infoobject hierarchy. I have created authorizations as below.
    There one infoobject 'A' and a navigational attribute 'B' in infoobject 'A'. This navigational atribure A_B is used in an infocube.  And hierarchy is uploaded to Infoobject 'B'. Now I want to give authorization for this hierarchy in infoobject 'B'.
    Now coming to authorization.
    1. I have made Infoobject 'B' as authorization relevant in Business explorer tab.
    2. Created authorization object say ABC in RSSM and inculded infoobject 'B' & 0TCTAUTHH (since I want to authorize the hierarchy and we are using 3.5 authorization concepts in BI 7.0).
    3. Activate this authorization object for the infocube.
    4. Included this authorization object in the role included for my user. In the field 'B' of authorization object I have given ' ' (space) and in the field 0TCTAUTHH I have given the technical name of the hierarchy.
    4. In 3.5 query designer I have put this navigational attribute A_B in the filter area and activated the hierarchy in the properties tab for the same hierarchy that I inculded in previous step.
    5. Created a variable with processing type authorization.
    Now when I run this report I get an error as no authorization for object ABC.
    Can someone help me if I have done anything wrong.
    Thanks,
    Sandeep

    Hi,
    In the infoobject A maintenance screen check the chekc box for field "AuthorizRelevant" for B to make it authorization relevant navigational attribute.
    Then go to RSECADMIN and ope your relevant authorization.
    In the menu bar just above the "Authorization Structure" you will find the button with icon of infoobject.
    Chick on this icon this will give you a screen to enter characteristic name of which attributes are to be added to authorization.
    Enter the infoobject A name here and click on continue.
    This will give you list of all authorization relevant navigational attributes present for A.
    Add B from this list to the authorization.
    Hope this helps.
