  • Entry Variable not available in Free char in Query?

    Hi
    I have to remove one of the entry variable in a query, its costing date and is mandatory variable; but it is not visible in Free characteristic to remove it.
    Its one of the factory reports.
    Any idea how to remove it?
    Thanks in advance
    Ishi

    Hi Anup
    The InfoObject Costing date is used in column in one of the KF. But the variable is not used anywhere.
    I tried to create the same report in Query designer, and noticed that after creating the query, system automatically picks the variable as mandatory entry variable

  • Xpath query depenedent on new line chars

    Hi,
    I am trying to run an XPath query against a String which contains the XML. I am using Apache Commons IOUtils
    to convert String to InputStream
    If the String contains new line chars in it then I get unexpected results. However if XML is one looong string then there
    is no problem.
    What can I do to avoid this problem.
         public static void main(String[] args)
                   throws XPathFactoryConfigurationException,
                   XPathExpressionException, ParserConfigurationException,
                   SAXException, IOException {
              // System.out.println(XML);
              XPathFactory xpathFactory = XPathFactory
                        .newInstance(XPathFactory.DEFAULT_OBJECT_MODEL_URI);
              XPath xpath = xpathFactory.newXPath();
              DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance()
                        .newDocumentBuilder();
                    // Use XML_STRING as the xml to reproduce the error
              Document document = documentBuilder.parse(IOUtils.toInputStream(XML_STRING));
              NodeList xpathResult = (NodeList) xpath.evaluate("/Envelope/Body",
                        document, XPathConstants.NODESET);
              Node node = xpathResult.item(0).getFirstChild();
              String requestName = node.getNodeName();
              requestName = requestName.split(":",-1)[1];
              System.out.println(requestName);
              String sessionIdXqry = "/Envelope/Body/" + requestName + "/sessionId";
              System.out.println(sessionIdXqry);
              String sessionId = (String)xpath.evaluate(sessionIdXqry, document, XPathConstants.STRING);
              System.out.println("SessionID = " + sessionId);
         }

    You can't call methods in EL like that - write a custom tag that transforms the data in the way you want (replacing newlines with "<br>"). Then:
    <something:yourNewTag text="${row.description}" />

  • Use of 'Free Chars' of a Query in the APD

    Hello
    I have a task of building an APD on a query. My question is: Do I need to have all the chars in the 'ROWS' section and all the KFs available in the 'COLUMNS' section (none hidden) before I start building the APD on top of it. Or can I still use the 'Free Chars' option later.
    Regards.

    Hi ,
    Free characteristics will not be available to use in APD. You have to have all the characterstics and key figures in the ROWS or COLUMNS section of the query.

  • Auth infoobject both in free char and selection screen

    Hi,
    Is it possible that I define authorization on, say operating unit, in BW and then provide the operating unit in free characteristic and query selection screen?
    Are there any restrictions to the above scenario?

    Hi Narendra,
    Appreciate your best practice suggestion.
    What I would like to understand is this:
    1 - SAP provided the feature that if we choose processing by auth, it looks at values, defined in auth objects, and populates
         them on the selection screen automatically. Indeed a great feature.
    2 - SAP even gave us freedom to use user exit variables to make it dynamically chosen.
    3 - Even hierarchy based auth framework is provided. Again a great feat.
    4 - Even when user don't give anything in selection screen and just execute, the report is run only for authorized values.
    Then why can't it happen that when user drags the auth IO from free char to report, SAP looks up the authorized values and shows then against the corresponding data record just like it does when we provide values at selection screen.
    I know I might be questioning the SAP auth design and pardon me for my audacity but I just want to understand the rationale behind this restriction.
    You also mentioned about the work arounds to my problem..can you share some so that I might be able to implement them and see if users are fine with it?
    Regards

  • I tried to sign up for a new free account, got message from you. Sent you em address ask what is wrong. Find my em was right. condused. Tried change my profile, but never had a profile, and at that it says to change my password, not want to change it.

    Wow, at age 76 I'm suppose to remember all I saw before and give you more details?
    I wanted to be able to join the support blog, to be able to ask a question. It all went from there. Somewhere along the line I saw sign up for a new free (support?) account. I did. created a cute name (Marycontrary), put in a password, not likely one to be used by someone else, my em address. Sent. Got a confirmation em from you. I clidked to confirm. I got back from you: It said something wrong (or something like that) I thought maybe I didn't type in the last part of my em address and sent a reply to you to that effect. See above for rest. Hope you can help. I can't stand it when companies want us to change our passwords. I like us to be able to keep our original password, I use different ones for different sites. The best sites give us a chance to retrieve our orignial password by setting up a chance to choosing a question of our choice and registering the answer, then when a problem they as the question and we give the answer and everything goes well. These change you password bits are very very hard on us older people, and there are more and more of us out here on the net now days. Thank you for any help you can give me.'''bold text'''

  • My iPhone 5 dies at 20-24% it doesn't go all the way to 0%. Will apple replace my phone or fix my phone for free since its hardware problem and I have no money. This is my second iphone 5 replacement.

    My iPhone 5 dies at 20-24% it doesn't go all the way to 0%. Will apple replace my phone or fix my phone for free since its hardware problem and I have no money. This is my second iphone 5 replacement. I have no apple care so I'm worried. My phone has NEVER touched water! I only get 1/5 of battery use. I've also spent 30$ at the apple store on screen protectors for nothing! I really don't have 220$ nor 50$ I am on a strict budget. I believe I have to pay 220 not 50 ford a phone replacement for accidental damage. I don't know what category this falls under. I really need a new phone or battery. HELP! Will I have to pay? Also my screen lighting is all topsy-tervy every I put my screen on highest it won't work I have to wait about a minute? Forgot to mention that my apps exit out by themselves all the time when Im using them.

    So, have you tried a reset?  Restore from backup? Restore as new?  You seem to have a few problems but do not mention any action taken to resolve them.  What have screen protectors to do with anything?

    You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

  • To skip the first two Digits of the Char in Query

    Iam using County code which is the attribute of Vendor in free-chars of my query. In back-end iam doing some enhancements for this county code and populating the county codes values with region. (For example if the country code value is 021 in back end iam populating by concatenating with region value. so the value in the back-end is 05021.)
    When i run the query the key of county code value i see is 05021. But i need to skip the first two digits in county code and should display in the result. Is there any way to skip the first two digits for the county code values.
    Thanks in Advance

  • How to add EOL(new line char) to JCheckBox's text??

    I need to add new line char to JCheckBox's text.
    I have a string and I am adding new line char("\n") to that. Then I set that string as the text for JCheckBox. But it is not adding a new line. If you know the solution to this problem, please let me know.
    thanks
    amit

    hi artntek,
    thanks works well. However Since I have 3 or 4 lines (might have even more) of text for JCheckBox, JCheckBox is aligned to middle of text. Is there any way to align it with the top of the text??

  • Positioning of Free Char

    Hi,
    When I try to drill down in my report using any Free Char, it is being added at the end of all the CHAR columns i.e.
    If I have 3 CHAR(Customer, Sales Order Number, Date) and 2 KFs in my report, when I try to drill down using the Sales Order Type, the column will be added to the report as the 4th column i.e after the Date.
    But, is it possible to add the column at the position which we want for ex: between the Sales Order Number and the Date?
    Best Regards,
    James.

    Hi James,
         Once you run the query and drilldown on the free characteristic you can swap the free charteristic with Date to bring it between Sales Order number and date.
    Right click on the Date column-> Select the option Swap date with your free characteristic.
