Adding a new column in the universe

Hi Experts,
I have a BEx Report on which the universe is based on.
I need to have an extra column (week number) which will have numeric values, and for each additional row it will have a cumulative number.
Col1   Weeknumber    col2
xxx         1              yyy
xxx1       2             yyy1
xxx2       3             yyy3
It would be a formula key figure in Bex.
But,I am not able to implement this col in Bex as the query is complicated and in Bex we have a restriction that we cant have more than 2 key figure structures.
Please let me know how this can be achieved at Universe level or Webi level.
Thanks
El

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.

  • 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
    - Regards,
      Arun

  • It will not parse! Creating a new object in the universe

    Hi, we have a universe and BO reports. They work fine for our clients. We are on BO XI r3.1. Now, one client captures an additional piece of info. They would like to report against this and add it high up on our drilling heirarchy. "Sure, no problem". For the following I was logged in as administrator.
    The additional data field is a 3 character code.
    1) We added an additional column to the actual database table.
    2) In Universe Designer, I refreshed universe structure and could see the additional column
    3) Created an object 'Acode' that refers to db.new_field
    4) Exported universe
    Maybe worth mentioning that I can see this object and use it in reports fine in Infoview.
    Now, I need to create a new object that will be one of 2 strings based on the 3 character code (Acode) i.e. the 'Atype' can be X or Y.
    Here's my code and it just will not parse:
    CASE
    WHEN @Select(AFolder\Acode) = 'CEL'
    THEN 'X'
    ELSE u2018Yu2019
    END
    Error I get is:
    Parse failed:Eception:DBD ODBC SQL Server driverStatement could not be prepared.State 42000
    I'd appreciate any help, believe me I have searched the forums!

  • ADDING A NEW ITEM IN THE CREDIT REQUEST DETAILS PAGE.

    Dear friends,
    Please help me with this scenario.Thanks so much for your help.
    Task: ADDING A NEW ITEM IN THE CREDIT REQUEST DETAILS PAGE.
    Need to create a new item on this page called "approver notes" (column notes).
    Can this be achieved by personalization?
    Scenario:
    On credit request details page disputed invoice number, request date, status, bill to, ship to, etc are displayed.
    When the status is "not approved”, item should be displayed along the "rejected" comment.
    If the status is other than "not approved" then the item should not be displayed.

    what page is this ? are you sure it is a OAF page ?
    If it is a OAF page, you would need to extend the controller to fire a partial action for the item and then control the display property of the comments field

  • Issue adding a new column to OBIEE presentation layer

    Hi,
    I am pretty new to OBIEE so this may be a silly question. I am facing some problems trying to add a new column from a physical table the OBIEE presentation layer.
    Below are the steps I followed:
    Task: add a product category set to the presentation layer.
    Steps:
    1) First verified that the product category set is being populated in the W_PROD_CAT_DH table in the datawarehouse. this was done by running the following sql
    SELECT W_PROD_CAT_DH.TOP_LVL_PRODCAT_NAME
    FROM W_PROD_CAT_DH, W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D
    WHERE W_PROD_CAT_DH.integration_id = W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D.INV_PROD_CAT1
    This sql gave the right category value.
    2) created a "Alias" of the table W_PROD_CAT_DH in the OBIEE Admin tool physical layer. (done by right clicking W_PROD_CAT_DH >>New Object>> Alias)
    3) named the Alias of W_PROD_CAT_DH as "Dim_W_INV_MKT_CAT" and created a key of the alias named "integration id" on the column "integration_id"
    4) opened the pre-existing alias of W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D the alias was called "Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D" and added a key called "MKT_CAT" on the column "INV_PROD_CAT1" in this alias (Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D of the table W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D)
    5) in the alias of the "W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D" called "Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D" added a "Foreign Keys" the expression of the key is following: ("Oracle Data Warehouse"."Catalog"."dbo"."Dim_W_INV_MKT_CAT"."INTEGRATION_ID" = "Oracle Data Warehouse"."Catalog"."dbo"."Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D"."INV_PROD_CAT1")
    Logical layer
    6) Opened the existing logical folder called "Dim - Inventory Product" and clicked on "Sources" tab then double clicked the source "Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D" and added a new mapping under "Map to these tables" under "General" tab. The column that was added was the physical alias "Dim_W_INV_MKT_CAT"
    7) added a new column mapping to the same logical table source (Dim_W_Inventory_PRODUCT_D) this new mapping was a column from the alias "Dim_W_INV_MKT_CAT" (column name "TOP_LVL_PRODCAT_NAME")
    Presentation Layer
    8) dragged the newly added column (TOP_LVL_PRODCAT_NAME) from the logical layer "Dim - Inventory Product" to the presentation layer "Product" folder.
    ISSUE
    after adding everything and checking global consistency and save and checking-in my work when i login from the front end presentation services. I see the newly added column is showing under the "Product" folder. on dragging the column by itself to the Ad-Hoc analysis I can see the different values of the category. On adding a second column from the same logical folder (Dim - Inventory Product in logical layer) i still see the right product name and corresponding category. BUT when I drag any other column from any other folder (such as "Day" from "Time" or any fact values) the result does not fetch any data (message: The specified criteria didn't result in any data.)
    I am not sure if I am missing any step but I know I am mapping the new table alias to the inventory_product_d since i see right results on creating analysis of columns in those two folders. but no other folders give me any data.
    I also know that the logical folder "Dim - Inventory Product" is joined with other tables as I can see results when i do not add the newly added catagory column but other folder and other columns of "Dim - Inventory Product"
    I would really appreciate any insight to this very much. we are using OBIEE 11.1.1.6 with the Oracle 11.5.10 Adaptor (SDE_ORA11510_Adopter)
    I will try to upload some screenshots if needed but presently not sure if its something really simple.

    Hi Prassu,
    thanks for the responce. and Apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
    1) 1.First of all set the logging level to 3 in the admin tool save it.

  • New column in the ALV output of transaction phap_admin_pa

    Hello All,
    I want to display a new column in the ALV output of transaction phap_admin_pa. Is this possible? If so, could anyone please give some guidance how to proceed. The new column willl contain the elements from appraisal catalog. Do u think there will be any BADi's to achieve this or I am not sure if a custom program need to be created?
    Thank you very much,

  • Adding a new Column in Sim Datawarehouse Delivery screen

    Hi All,
    I need to add one new column 'comments' in Sim Datawarehouse delivery Screen(navigation:Shipping/Receiving->Warehouse Delivery ->select ASN->Select Container) .That column should be mapped with comment_desc colun in rk_shipment_items table
    1.created a 'comments' class in src\oracle\retail\sim\shared ,
    2.created a 'CommentsDisplayer' in src\oracle\retail\sim\shared\swing\displayer.modified
    WarehouseDeliveryCartonDetailPanel.java as-
    public List<SimTableAttribute> getAttributes() {
    List<SimTableAttribute> attributes = new ArrayList();
    attributes.add(new SimTableAttribute("Comments", "comments",true));
              new CommentsDisplayer()));
    3.In WarehouseDeliveryLineItemWrapper added the get and set methods for 'comments'
    public String getComments() {
    return lineItem == null ? null : ((SimpleShipmentLineItem)lineItem).getComments();
    public void doSetComment(String quantity) throws BusinessException {
    if (lineItem != null) {
         ((SimpleShipmentLineItem)lineItem).doSetComment(quantity);
         //lineItem.setQuantityDamagedBasedOnUOM(quantity);
    Now that column is coming on screen and mapped properly with the database column comment_desc
    .But that column is coming as disabled on the screen.What else should be done to make that enable?

    You first need to add a new column to the definition of the internal table that is passed to the ALV function.  You'll then need to loop through the table and update the new total column.  For example,
    LOOP AT itab.
      itab-total = itab-cost + itab-discount.
      MODIFY itab TRANSPORTING total.
    ENDLOOP.
    You'll need to determine whether discount should be added or subtracted from cost.
    The only other change would be to update the field catalog.  There is likely a subroutine in your program that populates the field catalog table with the expected columns in the internal table.  Use the existing code as an example and add another record to the catalog for your total column.

  • Adding a new field to the search help exit

    Hi friends,
    adding a new field to the search help exit. How does it work ?
    Thanks in advace
    Ilhan

    The search help exit allows you to modify functionality of search help. If you add a new field to the
    parameter list that is not contained on the selection method you can manually populate it within the search
    help exit.
    This  would be performed within the u2018STEP DISPu2019 section. Once within this section all search help
    data has been retrieved and is stored in table RECORD_TAB (record_tab-string) as one long string value.
    Therefore you need to read table SHLP in-order to locate position of value within string.
    Example:
    To find position of personnel number (PERNR) within elemenory search
    help M_PREMN you would use the following code:
    Loop at record_tab.
         read table shlp-fielddescr into wa_shlp
                                       with key tabname   = 'M_PREMN'
                                                fieldname = 'PERNR'.
    You could then use this information in the following way, for
    example, to find a persons organisation unit:
          select  orgeh endda
            up to 1 rows
            from pa0001
            into (ld_orgeh,ld_endda)
           where pernr eq record_tab-string+wa_shlp-offset(8)
                                                      u201Cpernr length is 8
           order by endda descending.
          endselect.
          select single orgtx
            from t527x
            into ld_orgtxt
           where orgeh eq ld_orgeh and
                 sprsl eq sy-langu and
               ( endda ge sy-datum and
                 begda le sy-datum ).
    If you have added a new field to the end of the parameters list
    the next step is to populate it by adding this data to the end of
    the record_tab string:
      concatenate record_tab-string ld_orgtxt into record_tab-string.
      modify record_tab.
    endloop.

  • Adding a new field to the Address Data for a business partner

    Hi Experts,
    I am trying to add a new custom field to the address data (all structures and tables) that is linked to a business partner on SAP CRM via EEWB. Structure is the address structure wthin BUS_EI_EXTERN. Table is BUT020. I have been told that it is not possible as there is no Business Object that allows this. When doing an EEWB, the only business object is BUPA, which when selected, adds the new custom field to BUT000. I would like the field to be added to BUT020 (Address Table). This leads me to believe that there is no standard way of doing this, which ultimatley means that it would need to be done manually. Please help me with this predicament.

  • Need to add 2 new columns to the existing table control of C223 transaction

    Hi ABAP Gurus,
    I have to do a screen enhancement for transaction C223.
    Below is the requirement:
    need to add 2 new columns to the existing table control of C223 transaction.
    there is no customer exits, screen exit or user exit present for this transaction C223, i have found one enhancement spot for this transaction.
    i dont have any idea how to do this in standard transaction C223, the table control in C223 saves the data to MKAL table and the table control uses the structure MKAL_EXPAND in the screen program.
    i have created an append structure for  the 2 fields to the standard table MKAL.
    Can anyone please suggest me how this can be done in standard screen C223, will the enhancement spot can be used to do this....
    please sugest...
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi Santosh,
    Thanks for the reply. I have looked into this Enhancement Spot CPFX_SCREEN_SET , inside this there is only one method INPUT_DISABLED having below parameters
    IM_MKAL     Importing     Type     MKAL                                                                                Production Version

    the BADI definition present here is a SAP internal so we cant implement the BADI , but we can created a enhancement spot implementation for this. as per my understanding on this the enhancement spot is only for making the table control fields display / change .  i dont think this can be used to add two new coloumns to C223 table control.
    I am not sure thats why seeking your help/valuable sugestion on this.
    Please provide your sugestion on this , so that i can come to conclusion on this issue.
