Adding a column in the Universe level without losing the Report Lay out

Hi all,
I have one universe with three universes built on it. Now, I want to add a column to one of the tables in the universe. For that, I selected the table and gave 'Refresh the structure'. The column got added in the workspace of the universe. When I drag and drop the table to the class & objects panel, it got added to the class/table in the panel. I saved and exported the universe.
When I do like above, and open the report in the BO XI R3.1 webi front end, the report throws the following error:
'Universe contains unresolved objects' and the report lay out is lost. All the three reports built on this universe is throwing the same error.
Please let me know if there is any other way to retain the report lay out and add the column in the universe level.
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the sometimes frustrating world of working with dates against SAP BW via BusinessObjects!
Your best bet here is to have a financial calendar table in a database and build a new query against that. Return Week Number as a detail of date and then merge the date dimensions.

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • Is there a way to scroll between footnotes in the new pages version and to actually copy an old text with footnotes into the new version without losing them or having them in the text?

    Since my update I am no longer able to scroll between the footnotes. I have to klick on each one to change something. That is unbearable since I have to write a lot of academic texts which usally have a ton of different footnotes. I also can not copy some of my old texts into the new version without losing the footnotes or having them in the middle of my text. Does anyone know a trick or if apple will change that for good? Thx for any support - it really drives me crazy

    Isn't that you asking how to get it (undefined) back?
    If you never had Pages '09, you can buy it from Amazon very cheaply:

  • How can I Scroll Down without losing the lightbox in the center of the screen?

    I already tried with different slideshow presets with no results.
    If I click in the first photo the slideshow screen remains on the top, It seems that it doesn't scroll down with me. I would like to slidedown and click into the last photo without losing the lightbox in the center.
    I already ask for help by chat, but you didn't answer how i expect.
    here the link of the example:
    FOR MUSE STAFF

    Hi
    This is not possible directly using the widgets, as you would need customize this where the page scrolls but lightbox should still be centered.
    Another way of doing would be aligning the images horizontally on page with smaller version and then use lightbox effect , where the clicked image will still be on page but user can click on other images.

  • How to Define a Required Prompt at the Universe Level

    Apologies if this has already been covered somewhere... I searched and can't find the topic covered yet.
    I've been under the impression for a long time that one could configure a Universe such that it would require a prompt on a dimension whenever that Universe was run, regardless of the tool or report.  For example, you could configure an eFashion Universe such that any report or analysis built against it (Webi, Crustal, Design Studio, Lumira, PowerQuery... whatever) would trigger a prompt, perhaps on Year or State.  The idea is that at the Universe you could prevent developers and self-service users from building "Select All" reports.
    However, even with the use of LOV flags in the Data Foundation and Business Layer (e.g. "Force users to filter values before use"), I can't figure out how to make it work.
    So, I have two questions...
    Is it possible to include required prompts/filters in the Universe definition?
    If so, how?
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Hi...
    Is it possible to include required prompts/filters in the Universe definition?
    Yes..it’s possible to include prompts at universe level,
    If all the reports are using same prompts, you can create at universe level and use same prompt in all the reports. You can define mandatory or optional prompt.
    Following is the syntax for the function.
    @Prompt('message','type',[lov],Mono|Multi,free|constrained|primary_key,persistent|not_persistent,[default_values])
    The following are simple examples of @Prompt syntax.
    Minimal use of the @Prompt function:
    @Prompt('Displayed text ','A',,,)
    Using the @Prompt with a LOV without default values:
    @Prompt('Displayed text ','A',{'Paris','London','Madrid'},,)
    Using the @Prompt with a LOV and one default value:
    @Prompt('Displayed text ','A',{'Paris','London','Madrid'},,,,{'Paris'})
    2 : If so, how?
    In the condition's SELECT or WHERE field, right-click at the place in the expression where you wantto add a prompt and
              select @Prompt editor from the shortcut menu.
    In the Message box, type the message that you want the user to see.
    Select Keep last value selected if you want the prompt to propose the values used for the previousreport.When the report is run for the first time, the default values (if any) are proposed.
    Select Allow multiple selection if the user can enter or select more than one value.
    Set the Selection mode. For Free selection, the user can enter any allowed value. For Constrainedselection, the user must select a value from a list of values. For Primary key, the user selects theobject name, but the object's primary key is used by the query. You can only use the Primary keysetting if Index Awareness is set.
    Note:
    When the Constrained option is selected and a List of Values is not specified, the corresponding Tab color turns to red, OK button is disabled, and on moving the cursor over the highlighted tab, the contextual tooltip displays a message indicating how to rectify the problem.
    Set the Value type for the selection mode: Alphanumeric, Number, or Date.
    If you have selected Primary key for the selection mode, set the Key type: Alphanumeric, Number,or Date.
    If you are using multiple selection, define the list of values. Do one of the following: you can type orimport a list of values, or you can select a universe object.
    Click the Default Values tab and define any default values. When you allow multiple selection, youcan set more than one default value.
    Click OK.
    The "@Prompt" editor closes and the prompt expression is visible in the condition's statement in the "Edit Properties" pane.
    Validate the prompt and click Parse.When the syntax is

  • To restrict a object to a particular Group at the Universe level

    Hi,
    I have a object which should be restricted only to a particular group at the universe level.So when i define the universe we have to have explicit security that will restrict access to this object information from reports and from ad-hoc queries.I should restrict the object only to the particular group by a role based security.
    Please help me out in this case.
    Thanks in advance,
    Madan

    Hi Madan,
    Please follow the below steps:
    (In Designer)

    3) Click on New option - > Give the Restriction name - >click on Rows tab - > Click on Add button (New Row Restriction window comes) -> give table name For example:"Resort_Country" in the Table text box, under the Where Clause "Resort_Country.COUNTRY = @Prompt ('Which country?u2019,u2019 A',, MONO,FREE)"-> Click OK -> Click Ok.
    4) Click on Add user or group - >Select the user ->Ok.
    5) Click on Apply -> Click OK.
    6) Save the universe and export it into the repository.
    7) Cretae the new report (webi/deski) from the user the one who belongs from this group.

  • Changing Prompt Order of Prompts defined at the universe level

    Hi All,
    I need to change the order of the prompts defined at the universe level.By default they appear in alphabetical order.
    Thanks,
    Shweta.

    Hi Shweta,
    If you are on XI R2 then you can try the following extended syntax for the prompt definition:
    @Prompt('Region', 'A', 'Class\Object Name', multi,free,,,User:0)
    @Prompt('Area', 'A', 'Class\Object Name', multi,free,,,User:1) ...etc
    Else there is no other way to sort the prompt in the desired order. Either you have to prefix the prompt text with numbers
    or alphabets.

  • Qualifying Prompt at the Universe level

    Hi
    I wanted to know whether it is possible to create a qualifying prompt at the universe level:
    The first prompt will be u2018Select a Timeframeu2019 which will prompt user to select one out of following values
    u2018Select Dateu2019 (multi select), u2018Select Weeku2019 (Multi select) and u2018Select Periodu2019 (Multi select). When user selects  say any one value like u2018select Weeku2019 value , he will be give the Values for the Week number concenated with Week End Date. On selecting one or more values, the data for selected week numbers will be given. Same for u2018Select Dateu2019 where he can select Multiple Dates and select Period where he can select multiple periods.
    Please let me know if there is any solution for this issue as this is a very high priority form my cleints.
    Any help is highly appreiciated.

    Do you users expect a fixed number of possible values in the 2nd selection level regardless which of the 3 selections was done on the 1st level (week, date, period)? Or should they be able to type in in the 2nd level their own values also at least for some of the 1st level selections (eg. period)?
    Which database do you use?

  • [svn] 3787: Added FxTextArea, FxTextInput, and TextView class-level examples to the Component Explorer.

    Added FxTextArea, FxTextInput, and TextView class-level examples to the Component Explorer.
    Modified Paths:
    flex/sdk/trunk/samples/explorer/explorer.xml

    One workaround is to turn off automation:
    File-->Options, Advanced tab, General Section, uncheck "Enable Automation Events"
    However, you will loose the ability to configure callouts, and all of the commands in the Process Engineering tab.
    Another workaround is to change the loop number of the shape you are editing before changing its type. Then change the loop number back to the correct loop number.
    This is another example of the pernicious philosophy of trying to help the user do what the programmers think the user is trying to do that started in Excel 2000 (where you can no longer tell excel that you want a scatter plot - it will force the plot
    to be a line plot under certain circumstances).
    I suppose another option would be to modify the master and swap the text and subtype shapes in the indicator to use the subtype property for the loop number and then use the text for the instrument type. I guess this is what MS was trying to implement, but
    didn't explain it well enough to their programmers.

  • How do I duplicate a spreadsheet, then delete all content without losing the formatting?

    I am using numbers to do my accounting for my business. I have created a spreadsheet with pre-formatted columns which is proving VERY useful. I have a drop-down list of "suppliers" which I will add to each month but the problem I have is that when I try and duplicate the spreadsheet (ready to start scratch for next months accounts) I'm struggling to delete all the data from the spreadsheet WITHOUT losing the formatting.
    Any help is appreciated.

    "Okay so to be more specific there is one particular column called "suppliers" which is formatted to be a drop down menu. This menu will be added to monthly thus growing larger and becoming comprehensive. What's the best approach to be able to start fresh every month but with the most recent and up-to-date "suppliers" menu?"
    I'd suggest using a two template (or template plus document) approach.
    The template would include the message "Paste POP-UP Here. Fill down" in the top cell of the Suppliers column.
    The second template (or regular document) contains the current version of the pop-up menu cell.
    Open both,
    in the single cell document, select and edit the pop-up menu to include the added suppliers. When done, select the cell and Copy.
    Switch to the document produced by the main template. Select the cell with the message (and the rest of the column below that cell) and Paste.
    You now have an empty spreadsheet with pop-up containing the current supplier list.
    If you add a supplier in mid month, you can add that supplier to the pop-up menu in the current row of the document, and Fill the edited menu down from there.
    At the end of the month, if you have made additions to the menu list, select and copy a cell containing the most recent version, switch to the single cell document, select that cell and Paste. This updates the single cell to contain the current version of the pop-up menu, ready to be pasted into the next month's document.
    Regards,
    Barry
    PS: On re-readiing this, I'd also consider skipping the production and saving of the one cell document. The most current version of the pop-up menu will be the one at the bottom of the Suppliers column of the month just ending. That cell can be copied, pasted into the top cell of the column in the new month's table/document, then reset to the 'no entry' item, then filled down the column.

  • Help to modify the Release procedure without disturbing the existing class

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement to modify the existing workflow approval procedure for PR and PO to include a case, where the PO amount is less than certain value (say 100 EUR) and the material group is equal to certain value, then we need to include the approval levels L2 (defined for PR) and X2 (defined for PO).
    Taking the case for PO`s, please note the following information,
    Existing release Strategies & release Levels for PO are
    51          Level X4
    52          Level X4 + X3
    53          Level X4 + X3 + X2
    54          Level X4 + X3 + X2 +X1
    Characteristics used
    Total Net order Value
    Purchasing organization
    Order Type
    Purchasing Group
    Example : If the PO triggering a Release strategy 51 and if the conditions PO Value and Material Group satisfied then in addition to X4 system should send the PO  Approval to X2 also. Similarly if the Po triggering the Release strategy 52 then in addition to X4 + X3, approval from X2 also required (provided if the condition satisfies).
    Solutions tried
    1)  We can achieve the requirement by adding a dummy variable in the Characteristics and defining the new release strategy 55 with Level X4 + X2 and using the User Exit EXIT_SAPLEBND_002 .But we donu2019t want to touch the Characteristics and class because this is used by other companies also.
    2) Also we can add a characteristic Material group with value equal to the required value and define 2 new release strategies 55 with Level X4 + X2 and 56 with Level X4+ X3 +X2.For all the other release strategies we can maintain the material group value as blank. Since the characteristics used by many companies we donu2019t want this option also.
    Request your valuable suggestion to meet the above requirement, without disturbing the existing characteristics and Classes, would be highly appreciable.

    It looks to me like you need a new release strategy for the company that is different. This is a perfectly normal way to use release strategies and is exactly what they are designed for.
