Anyone succesfull implemented Virtual Key Figures in BI 7.0 Unicode System?

Hi all, I am trying to implement a virtual char and I followed the how to paper from SAP...My example is a very simple one where I want to test how this concept works. What I wanted to do is to be able to assign a constant value to the characteristic 0PLANT, but I get the following runtime error when I test the report in RSRT.
UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE - Data objects in Unicode programs cannot be converted.
The statement
"MOVE src TO dst"
requires that the operands "dst" and "src" are convertible.
Since this statement is in a Unicode program, the special conversion
rules for Unicode programs apply.
In this case, these rules were violated.
here is the code I had in the method: IF_EX_RSR_OLAP_BADI~COMPUTE
method IF_EX_RSR_OLAP_BADI~COMPUTE.
field-symbols <fs_0material> type any.
field-symbols <fs_0plant> type any.
data: l_plant type /BI0/OIPLANT.
l_plant = 'ABCD'.
assign component p_cha_0material of structure c_s_data to <fs_0material>.
assign component p_cha_0plant of structure c_s_data to <fs_0plant>.
<fs_0plant> = l_plant.
endmethod.
From what I see in the dubuugging is that the filed-symbols is taking a flat strucutre property after the assign statement and I am trying to assing a Char type object l_plant to it, but the sap example is also similar!!!
I tried to search in SDN and on Service market place but could not find proper documents. Can someone help?

Check your initialize method is the same as the example implementation.'( CL_EXM_IM_RSR_OLAP_BADI) ' leaving this initialization method empty causes dumps.
'no need to change this method' means, copy it from the example and make no change.
double click the name of the implementing class and check the attributes tab. ( types and levels)
in your compute method, try to use an internal variable instead of directly assigning value to the field symbol.
something like:
data: xx type char20 .
xx = 'AB' .
<fs-yy> = 'AB' .

Problems with creating badi implementation for virtual key figures

Hi,
I'm running BI 7.0 (unicode).
I have been trying to follow this blog to calculate the virtual keyfigure in my infoset - Using Virtual Key Figure and Characteris in an InfoSet
My infoset includes 1 infocube, and 3 master data infoobjects. I have created everything the blog was referring to, and activated fine. However, it seems that when the field symbols are assigned from the c_s_data structure, they do not get referenced correctly, so that no correct memory area is assigned and instead the whole c_s_data structure is assigned to the field symbol, which prevents me from referencing the right mem area correctly.
For example, in this statement
ASSIGN COMPONENT P_CHA_ZMYINFOSET___F120 OF STRUCTURE c_s_data
TO <fs_ZMYINFOSET___F120>.
the component p_cha_zmyinfoset___F120 of c_s_data supposed to be assigned to the field symbol (point to the correct place in structure c_s_data). In other words when this statement is executed, the program looks at structure c_s_data, finds the component zmyinfoset___F120 in it, and assignes the position of that component in the structure to the field symbol, so that it could be referenced in the code. However, the correct assignment does not happen.
When I debug the code and view the structure c_s_data, I can never find any component with any of the names I can find in my BEX query like ZMYINFOSET___F120. All I see are the components that are named like these: Z____5179 (C_S_DATA-Z____5179), C_S_DATA-S____5150, etc. I see the correct values, but components all have weired names like that. I thought in Infosets the components are named in the following fashion: INFOSETNAME___FXXX which you can see from your BEX query designer. Why is this happening? Why don't I see the correct names in the c_s_data structure? If instead I try to assign those components with their weired names directly, I still get incorrect assignment.
what am I doing wrong?
I was reading abap help on this statement: assign COMPONENT comp OF STRUCTURE struc
and the following I found:
With this expression for mem_area, the memory area of a component comp of a structure struc is assigned to the field symbol. While the structure struc is specified directly, a data object must be specified for comp. The evaluation depends on the data type of comp:
If the field comp has a non-text, elementary type, the content is converted to the type i and interpreted as a position of the component in the structure. if the value for comp is 0, the storage area of the entire structure is assigned to the field symbol.
From what it says above, my value for comp is always 0, so that the entire structure is always assigned to my field symbol instead of a specific position in that structure.
please let me know what is wrong here.
thanks.

Type conflict with ASSIGN in BADI for Virtual Key Figures

We get the below error dump in ST22 when executing BEx queries that contain virtual key figures.
error message - 'Type conflict with ASSIGN in
program "ZCL_IM_THR_RSR_OLAP_BADI======CP".'
We have a BADI implementation that calculates few virtual key figures included in some infocubes & multiproviders. The error would arise if we execute two queries (containing common Virtual Key figures) one after the other without closing the first query.
We found a note "Note 1237689 - Virtual chars. and key figures in input-ready querys" that could be relevant to our issue and wanted to apply this note but unfortunately the note is only applicable to SAPKW70016 to SAPKW70018 and we are support pack 15.
Can you please advise what the problem could be/suggest corrections for the same.

Hi Kulmohan,
Did you fix your issue? We are facing the same issue. Could you please let me know if you have any solution for this issue,
Thank you,

Virtual Key Figure

Hi all,
Before implementing a virtual key figure, I'd like to make sure this will answer my need. I work for a brewery, and I am looking at our customer taps activity.
Records in the cube:
Trading Region A, Brand X, Customer 001, Action "Install": 1 "Tap action"
Trading Region A, Brand X, Customer 002, Action "Install": 2 "Tap action" (new taps)
Trading Region A, Brand X, Customer 002, Action "Removal": 1 "Tap action" (old tap)
So what I want to have in my report is :
Trading Region A Brand X: 2 "customer activity"
I am thinking I could use a virtual key figure that will look in the cube and check if there was any activity for a customer on that brand and trading region, and then will allow me to aggregate the result in the query.
But I am not sure because it seems to me that Virtual Key Figure are calculated at record level...
Could any of you clarify this for me ?
Many thanks for your help,
Nicolas

Thanks a lot !
I don't know why I tried such a complicated solution...
Tried to assign points and close the issue, let me know if it didn't work as this is my first post...

Virtual Key Figures - Field Symbol

Dear guru's,
We had obtained an ABAP error in the execution of a query when obtaining a virtual key figure. We analyzed the problem and identified the error. We fixed it in our dev system and tested ok.We then transported the includes ZXRSRU02, ZXRSRTOP, ZXRSRZZZ to our quality system and the problem persisted. The error occurs because the structure c_s_data has not updated to include the added object and therefore assigns the structure to the field symbol and not its value.
I have checked the versions of these includes and they are identical. What could be the possible causes for this problem and solutions?
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Alex

We transfered many times the corrected code and still the probem persisted. If my understanding is correct the structure c_s_data is created by BW according to the appends you make in the code (...RU02).
The problem was resolved when we regenrated the queries. If anyone can explain why this is so, please let me know so that I may have a better understanding of this process.
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Alex

Using Virtual Key Figures/ Characteristics is possible to use in InfoSets

Hi All,
Is it possible Using Virtual Key Figures/ Characteristics is possible to use in InfoSets?
I have tried all the possibilities using the BADI implementation RSR_OLAP_BADI without success.
The VKF / Characteristics works fine when it is being used with a query based on the ODS however it is not populated when i am using the infoset. Moreover i have used the code for InfoSet as well it is not working.
I would appreciate any help in this regard.
Regards
Noor

Hi PV,
r u sure about that, as i have tried all sort of permutation and combinations for using the same in RSR_OLAP_BADI without any luck.
I have the got felling about the same however if you look into the following SAP note it puts me into doubt.
Note 657690 - Virtual characteristics and key figures in InfoSets
Note 618738 - Virtual characteristics or key figures and InfoSets.
It describe about using the RSR00002.
Many thanks for the information.
Kind Regards

Issue with Virtual Key Figures Using BADI

Hi,
We are populating values for a few virtual key figures in a query over a multiprovider through a BADI implementation(RSR_OLAP_BADI). On execution the VKF fields appear blank in the report.
We tried debugging the methods of BADI by adding Break-Points in specific points. On doing so, we found that the values are properly updated in the 'Field-Symbols' used in the Compute method, but the same values do not appear in the report result and the fields are blank.
Kindly provide any pointers or suggestions.
Thanks.

First check in Technical Information in RSRT , whether the
Virtual Char/Key Fig is Y or N.

Virtual Key Figure ( Currency Problem)

Hi All,

Virtual Key figure not getting populated

Hi All,
I have included a virtual key figure in a multiprovider on which the query is created and its underlying ODS.
This issue is the virtual key figure is not getting populated . I am not sure what I am missing
I did the following :
1) Tried Debugging - Put a break point and execute the query in RSRT.It did not go to the Exit. I also tried generating the query from RSRT.
I am using the BADI (RSR_OLAP_BADI) to populate the Vir Key Fig.
Please guide me.
Thanks,
HM

Hi All,
Now that I am able to get the logic to come up in debug. I am faced with another issue.
I am implementing avery simple logic . I added a integer type key figure to the ODS and I am tryin to assign value 1 to the the key figure in the code (I am assigning 1 just ot check if the value is passed to query or not. I do have acomplex logic tha i need to implement).
Here I am able ot see the value in the debug but in the qury the value is not populated.
N ot sure what might be going wrong.
code is
l_z_avg = 1.
<fs_zavglate> = l_z_avg .
Appreciate help.
Thanks,
HM

Virtual Key Figure on Multicube (RSR_OLAP_BADI)

I've created a virtual key figure (using RSR_OLAP_BADI) for number of days in month [zdays_month]. Everything works perfectly when it's used in a query on a cube cube. BUT, when I try to use it in aquery on a multi-cube, it doesn't. The multi-cube query returns a number = the number of days in the month * the number transactions in that month.
Anyone know how I can force the VKF to execute after the data is returned? I would prefer to not mess with exception aggregation, or key figure properties. I need to keep this VERY SIMPLE for my query developers.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated,
Kenneth

hi,
first try to check whether the query access virtual kf or not, use transaction rsrt, type in the query name, and click technical info or properties, there will some line 'virtual char/kf'.
i think the query may never access the code in BadI because in the code it's set with condition infoprovider technical name, it will cover only the infoprovider, when we access query from multiprovider, which join from one of the infoprovider, it's not automatically have the virtual kf/char, we have to specified the multiprovider name in the BadI, you may change the code as following :
hope this helps.
CASE i_s_rkb1d-infocube.
    WHEN '[your infocube name]'.
ENDCASE.
to
IF i_s_rkb1d-infocube = [your infocube name] or
   i_s_rkb1d-infocube = [your multiprovider name].
ENDIF.
for other infoproviders
CASE i_s_rkb1d-infocube.
    WHEN '[other cube name]'
ENDCASE.

Virtual key figure BADI - does not change value

I wrote a badi for virtual key figure according to guidelines from an SDN doc on how to create virtual chars and kf's.
However, the value of the key figure is not changed at all. Below is my code. Please see what I'm doing wrong
method IF_EX_RSR_OLAP_BADI~DEFINE.
 APPEND 'ZRANKS' TO c_t_kyfnm.
endmethod.
method IF_EX_RSR_OLAP_BADI~COMPUTE.
if P_KYF_ZRANKS > 0.
 assign component p_kyf_zranks of structure c_s_data
 to <fs_ranks>.
 <fs_ranks> = '1.0'.
endif.
endmethod.

There is something you need to do which I have not seen described in any of the documention here.
You need to copy the source code for the INITIALIZE method directly from the code given in the example class CL_EXM_IM_RSR_OLAP_BAPI. That is where the P_KYF<object> and P_CHA<object> attributes are assigned their values. If you do not copy this code into your own implementation, these attributes have no value in the COMPUTE method and your code will probably not work.

Create Badi for Virtual Key Figure

Hi experts,
i have to create badi for virtual key figure in BIW for dat i m creating Badi in BI development but its asking for Access Key.
Badi name is RSR_OLAP_BADI
i want to know while creating classic Badi with Implementation Name do developer need access key or thr any othr way to develop Badi for Virtual Key Figure.
Tell me for creating virtual key figure in biw we use Badi and for dat we have to create the Badi in BIW Dev. or in R/3 Dev.
it first time dat i m creating BAdi.

BW : Virtual key figures

Hii experts ,
What are virtual key figures .
Plz explain .
Thanks & regards ,
Madhavi S Bichakal

Dear Madhavi,
Virtual Key figure
virtual key figures are key figures within an InfoProvider that are not filled with data. Instead the key figure value is determined at runtime of the query using custom ABAP coding .
this keyfigure is not populated with the data by using update rules. but this virtual keyfigures will detemine the value only at the runtime of the query.
nomally when we store the key figure value in the cube as we do it for a normnal keyfigure it gives us the fact(Fixed truth ) information but by using virtual keyfigures we can show the present truth in the report.
for example :- let say we have a transaction on 01/01/2007 for material M100 @ price of 100 and on 02/01/2007 the price of material M100 has changed to 200.
when we store price as a normal keyfigure in the cube it will give fact i.e, 100
but if we design the price as a virtual keyfigure it will give out present truth as 200.
Virtual characteristics and Key figures are useful if you want to dynamically pouplate data from the fact table to the field which doesn't have any data in the fact table and also used to build an internal security model before the data gets passed to DATA_PROVIDER.
You can get more information if you review the documentation for enhancement RSR00002.Go to SMOD type in RSR00002 and select the documentation radiobutton..
