XREF function Usage
Hello,I have a requirement in a Master cube to have KPI from each Child cube/Detialed cube(I call it)(otherwise key measure) to populated in the Master cube. I was trying to retrieve the data ..with each measurable data retrieved from different detialed cubes by writing @XREF function. This works for only one location Alias.like only for one Database. My requirement I connect to different Databases using different aliases & get the data for each measure--- This is not working.. it just works for 1 connect to particular Database.Is there a way to fix this problem or Essbase at present, cannot pull in data from different databases with many @XREF in a single Target cube where different members are declared Dynamic calc & with @XREF function.Any ideas welcome!!Essbaseuser123
I'm not sure I understand the problem - you can create many location aliases, but a single @XREF function can only use one of them at a time. If you have many different measures, you could put dynamic @XREF formulas on them - each one using the location alias that it needs. Are you saying that this does not work?Another option would be to use a member of another dimension, and use IF statements to figure out which measure you are looking at, and call the according @XREF.Hope that helps.Regards,Jade----------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

Hi
I am trying to utilize the functionality of the Xref function in one of the modules of my project.
could anyone let me know if xref works fine if my target database resides on a different server and on a different enviorment than my Source database.
if yes what performance issues could i be facing in the process for the same.
Thanks
NJfrom docs: YES
Data source: the database that is queried by the @XREF function. This database may be remote (that is, on a different machine than the data target).
But never tried ...you should be first person :) -
AIA XREF Functions in Jdeveloper
Hi,
I am using XREFs and DVMs in my flows using AIA 3.0. I am not able to see the functions like generate-guid(), functions related to XREF and DVM in the XSLT designer. I remember having installed a AIAXpathFunctions patch for JDeveloper in SOA 10g.
Is there a similar patch available for 11g or how do we use these functions in XSLs ? Have the definition of the function changed and can we use it the same way we used in AIA 2.0/SOA 10g.
Cheers,
- ARThis is the content from the latest Installation Guide
JDeveloper enables you to modify AIA delivered content or develop and deploy new AIA custom content. AIA uses special XPath functions and it is necessary to import these into the JDeveloper library. You can import these using either of the following procedures:
- If you download the AIA plugin from update center to use AIA service constructor, the aia.jar is automatically made available for you.
- In JDeveloper, navigate to Tools, Preferences, SOA and add the library aia.jar. The aia.jar is available under AIA_HOME/lib directory
As per the first option, Robert is asking you to use the Service constructor but because this is EAP, we havent made it available in the update center. -

How to find out PL/SQL function usage in Discoverer workbooks?
We have to make changes to one PL/SQL function that has been registered in Administrator. Is it possible to find out in which reports the function is used? The function is called in calculations and it returns certain time information. We have to add one argument to the function and therefore have to change calculations where the function is called. We have too many workbooks to manually check them all.
I am aware how to find out which folders and items are used in workbooks but can't find the same information about functions. We are using Discoverer 10.1.2.2
Thanks in advance!Hi,
If you calculation is in the EUL you can look at the item dependencies, but if your calculation is in the workbook there is no way other than using the workbook dump (d51wkdmp.exe) utility or opening the workbook and manually checking.
You might want to consider overlaying the PL/SQL function definition so that there are 2 variants of the function. You can then add the extra parameter as an optional parameter in Discoverer. The correct variant will be called depending on how many parameters are used.
Hope that helps,

@prompt functions usage in Derived table
How can we use prompt functions in Derived table?.Please repaly ASAP.
Advanced thanks.
Thanks&Regards
RamuHi Ramu,
It is quite straight foward.You define your derived table using the normal sql but then put in the @prompt code in the where clause.
This worked for me in XI 3.0 using the Efashion universe.
SELECT
Article_Lookup_criteria.Article_Lookup_criteria_id,
Article_Lookup_criteria.Article_criteria_id,
Article_Lookup_criteria.criteria_type
FROM
Article_Lookup_criteria
WHERE
Article_Lookup_criteria.criteria_label = @prompt('Label,'A',,Mono,Free,Presistent)

Grouping Function usage in SQL
All,
How does grouping function work, does it also depends on the sequence of columns used in group by rollup
select deptno,job, group_id(), sum(sal), grouping(deptno) , grouping(job)
from emp
group by rollup (deptno, job)
If the query is run by "rollup(job,deptno)" grouping (deptno) returns 1 where as if "rollup(deptno,job)" grouping (deptno) returns 0.
Does the column sequence in group by rollup decides the returning of grouping(deptno) function. I feel to have some misunderstanding of the way its said in ORACLE documentation. We referred to the below link for our understanding.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17118/functions071.htm
Request the PRO's to discuss and clarify on this.Hi,

All,
How does grouping function work, GROUPING (x) returns 1 if the current row represents a superaggregate of x, and 0 otherwise. In other words, if GROUPING (x) is 0, then the row represents a single value of x. If GROUPING (x) is 1, then the row represents a total of all values of x.
For example the query you posted may produce results like this:
` DEPTNO JOB GROUP_ID() SUM(SAL) GROUPING(DEPTNO) GROUPING(JOB)
20 ANALYST 0 6000 0 0
ANALYST 0 6000 1 0
10 CLERK 0 1300 0 0
20 CLERK 0 1900 0 0
30 CLERK 0 950 0 0
CLERK 0 4150 1 0
10 MANAGER 0 2450 0 0
20 MANAGER 0 2975 0 0
30 MANAGER 0 2850 0 0
MANAGER 0 8275 1 0
10 PRESIDENT 0 5000 0 0
PRESIDENT 0 5000 1 0
30 SALESMAN 0 5600 0 0
SALESMAN 0 5600 1 0
0 29025 1 1Look at the last three rows. On this row
` DEPTNO JOB GROUP_ID() SUM(SAL) GROUPING(DEPTNO) GROUPING(JOB)
30 SALESMAN 0 5600 0 0GROUPING (deptno) is 0; so the row represents only deptno=30.
GROUPINT (job) is 0, so the row represents only job='SALESMAN'.
SUM (sal) is 5600, so the total salary of all salesmen in department 30 is 5600.
Now look at this row:
` DEPTNO JOB GROUP_ID() SUM(SAL) GROUPING(DEPTNO) GROUPING(JOB)
SALESMAN 0 5600 1 0GROUPING (deptno) is 1; so the row does not represent any one deptno; it is a superaggregate of all deptnos. Notice that the deptno column is NULL, even though there are no rows in the table where deptno is NULL.
GROUPING (job) is 0, so the row represents only job='SALESMAN'.
SUM (sal) is 5600, so the total salary of all salesmen in any department is 5600. (As it happens, all the salesmen are in department 30, so this sum is the same as on the previous row.)
Now look at the last row:
` DEPTNO JOB GROUP_ID() SUM(SAL) GROUPING(DEPTNO) GROUPING(JOB)
0 29025 1 1GROUPING (deptno) is 1; so the row does not represent any one deptno; it is a superaggregate of all deptnos. Notic that both deptno and job are both NULL on this row of output, even though neither column is ever NULL in the table.
GROUPING (job) is 0, so the row represents only job='SALESMAN'.
SUM (sal) is 5600, so the total salary of people with any job and any department is 29025.
does it also depends on the sequence of columns used in group by rollup Excellent question! Try it an see. Change the order or columns in the GROUP BY clause and see. If you get different results, then the order does matter.
select deptno,job, group_id(), sum(sal), grouping(deptno) , grouping(job)
from emp
group by rollup (deptno, job) If the query is run by "rollup(job,deptno)" grouping (deptno) returns 1 where as if "rollup(deptno,job)" grouping (deptno) returns 0. You get different results; therefore the order does matter.
Does the column sequence in group by rollup decides the returning of grouping(deptno) function...Yes.
"GROUP BY ROLLUP (deptno, job)" means a superaggregate row for each value of job, representing all deptnos, will be formed. That is, you will get one row representing all analysts; another row representing all clerks, another row representing all managers, and so on. This will be similar to the results that you would get if you never mentioned the first expression in the ROLLUP list, that is, deptno. You will not get a superaggregate row representing any one deptno, say, 10.
"GROUP BY ROLLUP (job, deptno)" means a superaggregate row for each value of deptno, representing all jobs, will be formed. That is, you will get one row representing all anlysts; another row representing deprtment 10, another row representing department 20, and so on. This will be similar to the results that you would get if you never mentioned the first expression in the ROLLUP list, that is, job. You will not get a superaggregate row representing any one job, say, 'ANALYST'. -
How to use the xref function in essbase
please give some examples
You have to go through DBAG for more info on @XREF
here is example of script we use
SET UPDATECALC OFF;
FIX(members in employee, members in entity)
SET CREATENONMISSINGBLK ON;
"Account_1" = @XREF(_Location alias, "PRODUCT");
ENDFIX
what we do is pull data from account_1 of databse 2 to database 1.
you should specify location alias in database before executing this script.
good luck. -
Hi All,
I am using two different functions to return different values by passing same two values to the function. Both these functions use a cursor to fetch different columns data from the same table. Is there a way in which I can combine both these functions. Use both cursors within the same function and return two values?
Please suggest what would be a good approach. Thanks.You need to consider the purpose of the function. It does not make sense to combine two functions, if the two functions are logically very different.
For example, claiming that performance improvement is the reason to combing functions MOD and TRUNC into a single function, is not valid. These two functions are logically very different. The fact that two functions may internally do similar things cannot be used as the reason two combine those two functions into a single function.
As for returning more than one value by a function. Yes, this is possible and very common. Many languages and operating system kernels have functions that returns a structure, where the structure has multiple field/members.
In PL/SQL, you will define the structure either as a user-defined SQL Data Type, or PL/SQL structure in a package header.
The PL/SQL structure approach makes only sense when dealing only with PL/SQL (the structure will never be touched by SQL) and/or when it contains PL/SQL data types.
E.g.
create or replace package typelib is
type TFile is record
directory varchar2(200),
filename varchar2(200),
handle UTL_FILE.file_type,
opened boolean
end;A function can then be defined that returns this structure, e.g.
create or replace function MakeTempFile return TypeLib.TFile is .. Using user-defined SQL types are often a better choice as these types are in fact o-o classes. You can create custom constructors for them, add methods, subclass them, etc. -
Predefine Partner Function Usage
We have added a couple of new partner functions in R3, which I want to send over to CRM. I have figured enough out so that I can either create a new partner function or assign a standard partner function for the information that is coming from R3. So I am trying to decide to either use standard or create new partner functions. But I have not found how the standard partner functions should be used. Is there any document that will list how partner function should be used for. We are starting a new sales model where we have people on the road talking to customer, we have main person in the office to maintain the customer relationships, and another person who does the data entry/ order taking. I current got Key Account Manager for the first role, Sales Representative for the second and Sales Assistant for the last. But if there is a better mapping that would be great. But I am just trying to understand what SAP is thinking with each of the partner functions.
Thanks.
Matthew StrohHi Kapil. Thanks for your fast answer.
I have been checking both messages but I still have some questions. What happens if I have more than one plant for ordering in the same company code/sale organization of destination? Must I create more than one customer for delivering company code/sale organization?
SAP lets you to assign different customers for different plants in IMG/ material management/ Purchasing/ Purchase order/ Set up stock transport order/ define shipping data for plants
Here you can define a different customer per plant. Obviously you can assign the same customer for more than one plants, although we create and assign one different customer per plant.
If we introduce a customer per sale organization in "Menu Path: IMG/ SD / Billing/ Intercompany Billing/ Define Internal Customer Number By Sales Organization" which one has got priority?
Best regards.

Hi All,
I am trying to use the @Match function within Datacopy but it gives me an error. Here is my code. Any help is appreciated.
FIX (No_GEO, Plan, Functional)
Datacopy @Match(Entity, "CC_????_S") TO @Match(Entity, "CC_????");
ENDFIXA syntax issue -- you're not going to be able to use the @MATCH function on the left hand side of the equal side.
Here's the formula you need:
FIX(everything you listed in all of your FIXes bar Plan and Entity)
FIX(@MATCH("Entity", "CC_????"))
"Plan" = @MEMBER(@CONCATENATE(@NAME(@CURRMBR("Entity")), "_S")) ;
ENDFIX
ENDFIX
This formula:
1) Selects the current member in the Entity dimension through @CURRMBR
2) Makes #1 a text string with @NAME
3) Concatenates the _S
4) Turns #3 into a member name with @MEMBER
5) Assigns the value to the Plan Scenario
The FIX around the members is so that just the CC_???? members get impacted.

TS_StationOptionsGetExecutionMask CVI Function usage
Hello,
I am trying to use the CVI function TS_StationOptionsGetExecutionMask to modify execution mask properties programatically. When I try and run the user interface I get an error "No such interface supported".
What object handle shouold be used with this function?
What context is it in?
I have tried the Engine handle, the Application Manager handle, etc. Always the same error.
There is a very serious lack of information on NI's part. There is plenty of help about classes and properties, but the help and information on methods and specifically the TestStand library functions for Labwindows/CVI is non-exsistent. Plenty of Labview help out there on using classes and manipulating properties and such, but zilch the NI's forgotten step-child LabWindows!

Solved!
Go to Solution.Hey John,
We have a whitepaper on using the TestStand API in LabWindows/CVI that you might find useful. It describes the process of passing the SequenceContext into a CVI code module and then explains the structure of properties and methods in CVI, as well as what types of object references are needed for various function calls. Using the TestStand API in CVI is a bit different from using it in LabVIEW and .NET, since C does not natively support objects. However, once you become familiar with the structure of the API in CVI, it should become a bit easier to navigate and use.
I hope this helps, and please let us know if you have any more questions about it!

Function usage in OWB 10g Mapping
Hi,
I'm a newbie of OWB 10g.
I do have in flat file (.csv) a column with value as "ABC 1.2", "ABC 2.0", "XYZ 2.1", "XYZ 3.0" etc.
I wanted this value to placed to the oracle database table as such & as truncated value as "ABC" for both version of ABC & as "XYZ" for versions of XYZ.
I have mapped in the mapping editor where the database table has 2 columns. One to place the data from flat file as such & the other column to be the truncated or transformed value.
I have mapped from flat file to the first column as such & for the value to the second column i do have a function which does the process of transformation.
I validated, Generated, Deployed & all are successful. On execution of the deployed mapping
I face a problem as :
Record 7: Rejected - Error on table "username"."tablename", column "second column name".
Column not found before end of logical record (use TRAILING NULLCOLS)
Since i have 256 records, to all those i do face the same situation for all records.
Plz do enlighten me how to go about to place the data from flat file to the database table column as the same value & the transformed value in another column in database table.
Thx in Advance.Patrick is correct. i have earlier assumed you had the procedure created and was just attempting to executing a mapping from it.
by the way, the "instruction" to use this script is embedded in the run_my_owb_stuff.sql file itself (i will cut and paste it here)
[BEGIN EXTRACT]
How to use install and use function:
- Logon to runtime repository owner and run this script. This creates a function run_my_owb_stuff
- grant execute to run_my_owb_stuff to <runtime access user>
- connect as runtime access user and run something along the lines of:
begin
dbms_output.put_line('result '
|| to_char(<runtime repository owner>.run_my_owb_stuff( '<runtime repository owner>'
, '<target location>'
, '<type: PLSQL, PROCESS or SQL_LOADER>'
, '<mapping or process name>'
, '<system parameters>'
, '<custom parameters>'
end ;
Because of the defaults you can leave any input parameters into
run_my_owb_stuff empty, such as p_system_parameters and
p_custom_parameters. For an implementation, consider changing the
defaults (such as p_repos_owner) to make live easier. Also, consider
taking out the dbms_output.put_line messages in a production situation.
To run this script, a user has to have been granted roles WB_R_<runtime
repos owner> and WB_U_<runtime repos owner>. The runtime access user
will have these roles granted.

Hi ! In my ALV report, added a custom net rate column. Now, I want to find out the minimum, maximum and average values from that custom nat rate colum. How that can be acheived.
Hi Goen ,
Say suppose your IT_FINAL is the final Internal Table.
if your Final table getting data from Single table , you can use Aggregate function directly. Please refer the below link for the same.
[http://www.thespot4sap.com/articles/SAPABAPPerformanceTuning_AggregateFunctions.asp]
if not from single table. Go by the below method.
You can use SORT statement for finding the Minimum and Maximum Net rate.
SORT IT_FINAL BY NET_RATE.
READ TABLE IT_FINAL INDEX 1.
if sy-subrc is initial.
"IT_FINAL-NET_RATE will be the Minimum one
Endif.
SORT IT_FINAL BY NET_RATE DESCENDING.
READ TABLE IT_FINAL INDEX 1.
if sy-subrc is initial.
"IT_FINAL-NET_RATE will be the Maximum one
Endif.
for getting average value , You need to sum all the entries NET RATE and then Divide by Number of entries of table. -
