Navigational attribute issue-time dependent

Hi all,
I am working with 0PA_C01, I included some additional navigational attribute(time dependent )to 0employee, but when i am checking all these navigational attribute at cube level or Report , i can find only the latest values ,for eg i added Designation as a time dependent navigational attribute for 0employee, and the designation for a employee is changing after 12.2008 from VP to SVP ,at the cube   and also in the report i can find only the latest designation for all the calmonth ie before 12.2008 also as SVP .
I checked the the time dependent Navigational attribute option to make designation as a time dependent navigational attribute ,and also ran the attribute change run .
Can anyone suggest some information to fix it?
Thanks
Sandhya

Dear Sandya,
Results correct only in your report. Time dependent attributes displyas data based on keydate. if no key date specified, system takes current date as key date and displays data.
So in your case latest data displaying. If you want to see any historic designations, you need to specify key date, which shold fall into that particular range.
Create a User entry variable for keydate and use.
Key date
Each query has a key date. For time-dependent data, the key date determines the time for which the data is selected. The default key date value is the date on which the query is executed, that is <Today>.
       1.      Click on the Key Date field. A dialog box with a calendar appears for you to select your key date.
       2.      Select a date from the calendar. If you select 01.01.1999 for example, time-dependent data is read from the 01.01.1999.
Note
The key date applies only to time-dependent data.

Time Dependent Attributes for 0UCINSTALLA

Hello BI experts,
I have one question regardning time dependent attributes for Installation InfoObject (0UCINSTALLA) that are loaded from DSO (0UCS_DS06).
My Installation InfoObject has 3 time dependent attributes:
- ZGSP_ID
- ZPROF_CL (Profile Class)
- ZDUALFUEL (Flag for Dual Fuel installation)
EXAMPLE:
UCINSTALLA     DATEFROM     DATETO       ZGSP_ID     ZPROF_CL     ZDUALFUEL
1                        01.01.1000      31.03.2009      _A              3                        X
1                        01.04.2009      31.05.2009      _B              3                        X
1                        01.06.2009      31.12.9999      _B              3
In the DSO it is represented by following entreis:
UCINSTALLA     DATEFROM     DATETO           OPERAND      CHARVAL
1                        01.01.1000      31.03.2009      ZGSP_ID             _A
1                        01.04.2009      31.12.9999      ZGSP_ID             _B
1                        01.01.1000      31.05.2009      ZDUALFUEL         X
1                        01.06.2009      31.12.9999      ZDUALFUEL      null
1                        01.01.1000      31.12.9999      ZPROF_CL           3
The lines that contain ZGSP_ID as openard should populate ZGDS_ID field, lines with ZDUALFUEL operand populate ZDUALFUEL attribute, etc
How can I map in one transformation? I believe this has to be done in ABAP, but it would be rather difficult to manipulate dates:
- when first record is processed Start Routine has to browse for all other lines in the DSO for the same installation and split the record into 2 or more depending when other attributes are valid.
At the same time one record have to be split into multiple records (when valiity dates for three attributes don't match), and multiple records have to be merged (for intervals when all attributes are valid).
One alternative is to load these three attributes from three separate DSOs - then BI will take care of dates by itself. But this is a bit nasty solution.
Could you kindly please advise if there is any simple way of doing this logic?
Kind regards,
Roman Pikuzinski

HI,
If your data source contains dates such as start date and end date, then you can map them to 0DATEFROM and 0DATETO respectively. In that case the 0DATEFROM and 0DATETO take the values from the data source and split up.
For eg. if the start date is 05/25/2010 and end date is 12/31/2010, then now in your info provider you will have three records-
0DATEFROM 0DATETO
01/01/1900     05/24/2010
05/25/2010     12/31/2010
01/01/2011      12/31/9999
However if you do not want to map any field from the data source to these attributes then they take the system generated values - 01/01/1900 and 12/31/9999 respectively.
Hope this helps in the understanding.
Thanks,
Rahul

Time dependent HR master data question

Hello,
I want to compare the two records ( Current record with the most recent delimited record) for pay rate for an employee. 0EMPLOYEE does not have DATETO or DATEFROM in its attribute list. Furthermore, I can not add DATETO as an attribute since the system does not allow it. How can I evaluate these two records to see the percentage increase.
Your thoughts are much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello Siggi,
Thanks for your respond.
I am using BW3.5 and for 0materia there are lots of attributes and for every attributes there is a "time dependent" click. Do I have to click all of them? Can you explain the theory behind that?
Mater data will be maintained respectively if I can change it to time- dependent.
Thank you very much,

BPM Collect Message dependent AND time dependent

Hi
I have a IDOC to file scenario where I have to collect all the IDOC until I receive a stop IDOC.
Once the End collect IDOC is received I have to do a n:1 transformation and write the file to the FTP.
The problem is, at times the IDOC which is suppose to end the collect loop gets stuck in ECC R3 system.
So Im wondering If I can do something like say, we have two options inside BPM both time dependent and message dependent.
In this case which ever comes first (the Stop/END IDOC or the Time say 3 mins) will end the collect process.
Can anyone pls suggest will it work and if so what are the additional steps I have to introduce in the BPM.
Pls advice.
Right Now these are the steps in the BPM Collect Message dependent.
1. Block (I have used correlation)
2. Fork inside the block
3. Fork branch one has a look with end condition as 1=1; then a receive step and a container operation inside the loop.
4. Fork branch two receives the end collect idoc.
5. Transform step outside the block.
6. Send step.
Thanks
Prasanna

Hi Abhishek/ Raj
Thanks!!
I have done the changes let me confirm after testing it once. In the mean time I have one more question regarding the same BPM, as I have mentioned in the first post, the BPM contains the 6 steps mentioned but the the 6th step is inside another block (Block2).
The steps 1 to 4 are inside Block1.
The step 5 ie the transformation step (n:1) is in between the Blocks ie not inside any block (hope im not confusing).
The second block is for sending the file to the FTP and based on the acknowledgement (transport level) I have to send an email.
So Block2 already contains a deadline branch, it is to wait for the positive acknowledgement for say 3 mins and send the error email if incase we dont get positive ack within the time limit.
My doubt is,
1. Is it the only way (having two block and two wait steps) to achieve this.
(one block for collecting and one block for ack)
2. Is there any way I can have a single Block in the BPM insted of two. If so what are the steps.
Having single block, Will improve anything??
Thanks
Prasanna

Time dependent Attibute in my Infoobject ?

Hi All,
Scenario :I have one Char Infoobject with time dependent attribute in that . Data is loaded as Direct update with full load
We are this to maintain History
Question :
1.When I go to maintain masterdata I get two attribute add along with my attribute as Valid From and Valid To, is it system genrated ?
2.When I go to transfer rule ,we have maped this two genrated attribute as well - so In our system To date is constant as 31/12/9999 and Valid From is assign to 0calday.
But when I see the data I get the entries for one particular material as multiple - and more ever it automatticaly adjust Valid To date = current calday -1 , the big problem for me I am not able to get How system is doing this adjustment for Valid From and Vaild To dates for previous entries . -
Is this feature of Time depeneded attribute ???
Note : When I see the infopakage I cant find start routine But I can find one date field from source made available only in Selection tab and which is assign to getyesterday (0)
But which is not maped in transfer rule, I was thinking that it might be used to map to Valid to Date through ABAP.. But I am not able to find code for the same ....
Please advice and Give more info on Time Dependend Attibute .?

1.When I go to maintain masterdata I get two attribute add along with my attribute as Valid From and Valid To, is it system genrated ?
Is this referring an additional record generated by system with diff valid to and from dates ?
Yes, system does that for Time dep m data
Ex : Profit Center - 9999 -12/31/2006- 01/01/1000 - > System Generated Record
Profit Center - 9999 -12/31/9999- 01/01/2007 - > One in the source system created by user.
That is how it works.
But what is your concern because of this sys gen records ?
You will only find the user created profit center in the report.

Aggrates on Hierachy structs and time dependent characterstics

Hi Every one,
I would be really appritiate, if any one can answer to my question. i will give you full points
Can we create aggregates on Hierachy structures and attributes of time dependent characterstics.?
Thanks
Farooq

Hi
We cannot
Aggregates are for Cubes only
If you have some prob in case of Hier structure or time dependent chare..there are various other performance tuning measure we can opt for

0CS_Item with time-dependent hierarchy

Dear Experts,
we are discussing pros and cons for a time-dependent item catalog (characteristic 0CS_item with time dependent hierarchy in BW) within consolidation SEM BCS 4.0. Does anybody has experiences on this topic?
I am quite sure it will be a performance issue and it means additional reporting effort (e.g. using reference period/year in the report comparing different hierarchies).
I am not sure if there are any other risks so I it would be great if anybody has some hints.
Thanks in advance,
Birgit Laux
Message was edited by: Birgit Laux

Birgit,
Some other things to consider:
- frequency of changes to item hierarchy. Could lead to a lot of item hierarchies in BW over time.
- hierarchy validity date does not seem to be displayed when running web queries and thus makes it difficult for the user to select the correct hierarchy when executing the query. Still looking for a fix for this.
- greater complexity in overall design. Is it really necessary to achieve correct financial statement presentation?
Virtual cube performance is not great but you could implement the data mart which provides typical BW query performance.
I stayed away from setting the item as time dependent for these reasons.

Modify code to pull the time dependent master data

I fully under stand the suggestion below for the requirement to add the time dependent attribute comp code
thanks fo rthe help but please tell me if there is a way i can modify the abap code and make the user enter the value for the date on which he want to pull th emaster data for company code or keydate to and from and pull the master data, so how will i proceede should i create the variable on 0doc_date and how to modify the code. please help . i have opened another question with same desc as above to assign points
thanks
soniya
The literal within <..> is supposed to be replaced by the actual field name (as I didn't know the fields). In this case, I am changing your code for costcenter/company-code.
data : wa like /bi0/qcostcenter.
select single * from /bi0/qcostcenter into wa
where costcenter = comm_structure-costcenter
and objvers = 'A'
and datefrom le comm_structure-<keydatefield>
and dateto ge comm_structure-<keydatefield>.
if sy-subrc = 0.
result = wa-comp_code.
endif.
abort = 0.
You can use this code for update rule of company_code. You have to replace '<keydatefield>' with a field name that contains the date on which the company is to be derived. If there is a date in your comm_structure (eg aedat) which you can use, you can specify that field in place of this literal (instead of comm_structure-<keydatefld> use comm_structure-aedat). If you have no such field, and you wish to use current date for getting the company code from time-dependent master data, you can use sy-datum (ie replace comm_strucutre-<keydatefld> with sy-datum).
And it should work.
The 'master data attribute' option is one of the options when you create update rule (one of the radio button options).

That the code is doing anyway.
If your txn data in the cube doesn't have a date, how does it know it is Feb data, or, it is March data?
If it has a date or month field, you should modify and use this code to update the company based on that date instead of system date.
Other than that minor variation, it is already doing what you look for.

Time-dependent hierarchy in query selection screen

Hello all
I am running query where input selection has following fields -
Fiscal year variable ( e.g. i can enter 2008)
Period variable ( e.g. i can enter 12)
Hierarchy Node variable
The hierarchy is time-dependent. I want that if I enter year and period as 2008 , 12 then
my hierachy node selction pop-up should show me only that hierarchy structure which was valid in 12.2008.
But my hierarchy selection always shows me hierachy structure that is valid on current date.
Can anyone help me on how to achieve this?
I have already coded keydate variable based on fisc year and period. But then how to make use of this key date variable so as to get correct selection of hier?
Regards,
Sanjyot

Hi Marcio
RSRHIERARCHYVIRT is for maintaining time-characteristics hierarchy.
My hierarchy is based on Consolidation Groups and Units.
But the hier is time-dependent.
So I want that when selection pop-up opens for a hier node , it should show me correct hier depending on year and period i have enetered.

Selection of time-dependent hierarchy variables after selection of time

Hi guys,
I'm having the following question regarding the selections of variables in a BEx Query:
I need to select e.g. a position out of a hierarchy which is time-dependent. In the selection screen I'm only able to select a certain date but not the key date that I need for the hierarchy. Now I would like to replace the needed key date for the hierarchy out of the date value. Having the parameters for the hierarchy selected I would like to select a position of the right hierarchy.
My idea is to select the date first:
Date: 05.2009
In the next pop up window the hierarchy key date is replaced by the date:
Date: 05.2009 --> key date: 05.2009
Now I can select a position for the right hierarchy.
Is a two-stage selection possible? How can a variable be replaced and simultaneously serve in the selection of object with a hierarchy?
Thanks in advance!

Display Time-Dependent Characteristic in 2different date columns (HR-data)

Hello.
I want to create a specific Query on a Self-defined HR-HeadCount cube. On this Cube I have Employee-number + characteristic values per month (e.g. PayScaleArea). Month is my most granular level.
The Query I want is the following :
     04.2006     05.2006
Employee/PayScaleArea
20184     5B     6
20230     3     4
20295     6A     6B
(5B, 6, ... are PayScaleArea's e.g. 5B is Manager)
I have already filtered on the Employees who got a promotion between 04.2006 and 05.2006 (=Month.Year). And now I whish to see the PayScaleArea listed of these Employees under 2 column headers April+May .
If this was a keyfigure this would be standard but for a characteristic I can't get it to work. I've already tried working with formulas (replacement path)
The problem is that it always displays like this :
              PayScaleArea
                  3     4    5B    6    6A    6B
Employee
20184
20230
20295
(which is realy bad)
Or
Employee/CalMonth/PayScaleArea
20184     04.2006 5B
20184     05.2006 6
20230     04.2006 3
20230     05.2006 4
20295     04.2006 6A
20295     05.2006 6B
(this is correct, but not verry readable, having it in 2 columns makes it easier to compare who promoted to what)
Note: I have PayScaleArea directly in the Cube and also as time-dependent attribute on Employee => the attribute has the problem that I can only report on one key-date per query (which is specified on the header of the query) so combining multiple queries in a workbook would also be a (less desired) workaround.
Can you help me ?
Kind Regards, Carl.

Hello,
I'm affraid you do not understand my question. You mention here one of the two 'workable' solutions (the other one being 2queries on different tabs each for a different month and then combining the 2queries on a third tab)
The report layout does not look good in this txt format so I will split it up using my original example:
The Query I want has three columns :
1) Employee
e.g. :
20184
20230
20295
2) The PayScaleArea's of Month -1 (e.g. : 04.2006)
e.g. :
5B
6
6A
3) The PayScaleArea's of current Month (e.g. : 05.2006)
e.g. :
6
4
6B
If PayScaleArea would be a keyfigure then I could just put Employee in my rows and month + PayScaleArea in the columns and it would work perfect... but it is a characteristic and therefore it does not show up next to the employee in this case.
In a sense this is logically since BW does not know that there is only one characteristic value PayScaleArea per month and per employee.

Select key date of time-dependent hierarchy before select a hierarchy node

Hello experts!
I have a Web Application which has a selection on 0ORGUNIT (organizational unit). The selection is on hierarchy nodes and the hierarchy is time-dependent.
Because of the time-dependency I have to give a key date for the hierarchy. But I want to select the key date at runtime/execution of the query and additionally I want to select the hierarchy node and other selection criterias.
Maybe there is a solution to get all this in one pop-up or maybe in two or another solution how I can implement this requirement.
Thanks for help!
Peter

Hey!
You don't have to use the same presentation-hierarchy like the selection-hierarchy is which you use for the variable. While presentation-hierarchy always has a key-date, the selection-hierarchy has none. So you see all values for selection but just this which are valid for the presentation-hierarchy are selected. And there is a warning which you can supress over RSRT.
This solution works for our problem, maybe not for yours, don't know.
Best regards,
Peter
