Bex Structure Headings

Hi
Is it possible to add headings to the structure in Bex query, I tried using selection but it is showing the values...I just want to add descriptions with no values as below in bold:
Example
Plan
---Values
Actual
---Values
Please advice

Thanks for inpurt, I tried both ways hiding from cell definiation which is hiding the heading too even if I didnt hide it as I put the 0 value elimination in the report.
Second one is I tried with different char selections but when I drill down by any char, it is giving me values ...Is it possible to achieve this in any other way ...Also I forgot to mention, I need to show the total (result) values for the heading as well...It is highly complex...Please advice if possible
Thanks

Max number of rows in a BEX structure

Hi gurus,
we need to create a structure with 164 key figures, and before starting doing it, does anybody knows which is the max number of rows that can be created on a BEX structure?
I'm not asking about max number of rows on a query, i'm asking about the number of entries that you can manually create on a structure. Is there a maximum?
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Miguel

Hi Migual,
You can add as per your requirement. Please refer the following link

BEx Structures - Which table has these definitions?

When user creates a BEx Reusable Structure (Query Level Object), it is just the container for the selections and formulas. Does anyone know the system table which contains a list of each selection and formula in a structure?
For Example:
Structure Name: "Financial Statement XYZ"
Line 1: "Revenue Accounts"
Line 2: "Expense Accounts"
Line 3: "Net Revenue"
I want to know the system table in BW which tells me the lines of the BEx Structure.

hi Mike,
try table RSZELTDIR, DEFTP = STR; MAPNAME is structure technical name if you have. TXTSH and TXTLG are the description. copy ELTUID
go to table RSZELTXREF, SELTUID = ELTUID (use yellow arrow since the id maybe truncated), copy all TELTUID
then table RSZELTTXT, ELTUID = TELTUID, get description TXTSH / TXTLG
( if you back to table RSZELTDIR ELTUID = TELTUID; get some rows where DEFTP = FML, SEL; formula, selection )
check also if you can use metadata repository (rsa1 - metadata repository)
hope this helps.

Dynamic section in a fixed Bex structure

Hi experts,
I have such a report requirement from the client, which is similar to a monthly income statement of an insurance agent:
+Opening Balance: xxx EUR
+Total Commission Type 1: xxx EUR
+Total Commission Type 2: xxx EUR
+....
+Total Commission Type N: xxx EUR
+Miscellaneous Income: xxx EUR
- Payment:
-- Payment 1
-- Payment 2
-- Payment n
+New Balance: xxx EUR
I have modeled this report with a Bex structure in Query Designer. But I have a big problem dealing with the line "Payment", because it is not a fixed structure. One agent can receive up to n payments in a month and I have to list out every payment.
So I would like to ask if there is a workaround for designing such a requirement?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Meng

How do you differentiate between different payments?
based on a char I guess.
Why do not go for a hierarchy in R/3 side and can hav the expansion there?
In a fixed structure I guess only option is to create max and hide supress zero and yes it is a horrible design if u do this.
Thanks

Creating a condition on a SAP BW BEx structure

Hi,
I'm trying to create a condition / filter in a universe that is built over a SAP BW BEx query that is using a structure and I can't work out how to do this properly.
I see in the XI 3.0 OLAP universe documentation a reference to structures as follows:
"Stuctures defined in the BW Query that are based on characteristics are
included in the universe as single-dimension objects with the elements of
the structure as dimension members."
A sample of my BEx structure which is named "P&L Lines" is as follows:
Gross Sales Value
Discounts
Invoiced Sales
Std Material Cost
In the universe the Class is "P&L Lines" and there is an object also named "P&L Lines". The properites of this object in the "Select" area shows [D431JNHSA9FQ901I1YLHH9WBR]
A simple example of what I have been testing is to include only "Gross Sales Value".
In the universe I have set a condition as follows:
<FILTER KEY
"[D431JNHSA9FQ901I1YLHH9WBR]">
<CONDITION
OPERATORCONDITION="InList">
<CONSTANT CAPTION="Gross Sales Value">
</CONDITION>
</FILTER>
This parses ok but it has no affect when I run the webi report.
Any help would be appreciated.

BEx Structures in WEBI

Hello Guys,
I am new to BO with BI as data source.
In BEx query disigner, we have one Char and KF structure (with two calculated KFs) in rows section. And Char structure with 2 chars (restrcted) in columns section. We are using cell difinition as mentioned below:
          OQT     DQT
Mat          c1     c2
CKF1          c3     c4
CKF2          c5     c6
c3 and c6 are cell references and using these reference cells in formula cells c1 and c2. CKF1 and CKF2 are hidden. When we execute this query using BEx analyzer it is displaying correct values as mentioned in below format.
     OQT     DQT
M1     20     10
We created OLAP universe on top of this BEx query. Hidden CKFs are displaying in universe level and it is displaying Structure class with one structure dimension only.
When we use that structure dimension in webi it is displaying OQT and DQT not values of it.
My question is how to create webi report to achieve above mentioned Bex report?
Is WEBI supports the cell definition/reference ?
We are using BI 7 with BO XI R3.1
Thanks in advance for your help,
Regards,
Reddy.

Hi,
It's difficult to tell exactly how you will workaround that ...
but, with MDX you have to include a Measure/KF in the webi query results
in the webi query panel, you MUST include (at minimum) the exact same objects Structure(s)/CKF combination as a baseline for your query to work reliably. ( Check this Bex layout in RSTT and see how the initial query view is designed )
generally speaking, use of multiple Characteristic Structures (like the accounting model) and Measure Hierarchies really confuses webi. and also, can hammer the OLAP engine in BW too. (i.e. massive performance issues)
some aspects of the hardcoded layout delivered by structures (i.e. subtotals and totals, formatting indents etc) are not understood or respected by webi.
Check out this Note here 1387793 - BEx functionality features that are not supported or integrated in WebIntelligence
for an idea of the Bex features which are not exposed by the BW OLAP API to BObj .
as for cell references .. this is a fringe use-case for BW-BO developments, and should probably be avoided.
Ultiamtely, you should be using BEx as a simple data-delivery container, particularly for filtering, but definitely not for presentation layout.
Regards,
H
p.s. a couple of reference notes for BW corrections in teh MDX interface:
Note 1446246 - MDX: Composite SAP Note for flattening API based on basXML

Housekeeping - info on Bex structures

Hi,
We are in the process of starting a number of housekeeping activities...one of the them will involve deleting many of the huge number of structures that our users have created in Bex. Does anyone if we are able to pull information out from a table that will allow us to perform some analysis such as the date they were created and date last used etc?
any info appreciated,
thanks
Mike

Hi Michael,
try to see in www.service.sap.com/bw->SAP BW InfoIndex->BW Statistics...here you can find these docs: 'How to Set up BW Statistics 2.x/3.x' (pdf) and 'SAP BW Performance Monitoring with BW Statistics' (ppt)...
Hope this helps.

RSCRM_BAPI with BEx structures

Hi All,
I created a query, using a structure and selections, so I have a first column with the labels I want y the next columns are keyfigures.
I created every selection with technical name.
When I see the results in the RSCRM_BAPI transaction, the system shows me internal code names instead of the technical names I set for every selection.
I wanted to have something like this:
Concepts.........value1......value2
ZVAL1             100         115
ZVAL2             90           92
but this is what I'm getting
Concepts.........value1......value2
4CAKUYDWYHT3IQF3WFDSEYMH3             100         115
4CAKUYTA0F0IJZI083IGZ2JWN                      90           92
How can I force it to show the techniccal names I created for every selection, instead of the internal name??
thanks for the help.
Mauricio

Aashish,
this is what I do.
I clic in the "Extract" button, and set the technical name for the extract (ZFI002) and set the start conditions to Immediate.
Then I clic in the "Batch Monitor" button, and double clic in the date/hour I want to see. Then I double clic in the Extract name text box (/BIC/0CZFI002) to see the extract data. I also use SE11 to see the data from the extract table.
I keep viewing the internal codes instead of my codes. ¿any Ideas?
thanks for the help.
Mauricio

Hallo Malreddy,
See the documentation about Structures here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/4d/e2bebb41da1d42917100471b364efa/content.htm
To create a structure simply position your mouse in the rows or columns then right mouse and create structure. a little playing with the tools helps ya a lot

GetSelectedMember does not work on BEx Query Structure

Hi
Has anyone seen the following behaviour:
I have a BEx query
I created a design studio application that accesses the BEx query
The application displays a column chart. When you select a column, it 'jumps' to another tab that displays the detail in a table.
I used the following std. script
DS_DET.setFilter( "ZBCFLG005", CHART_1.getSelectedMember( 'ZBCFLG005' ) );
TABSTRIP_1.setSelectedTabIndex(1);
My issue is: when my Bex query uses a structure as a source for the chart, then getSelectedMember does not seem to provide the selected structure value (member) i.e. a simple structure filtered by characteristic ZBCFLG005.
However, when I change my BEx query by removing the structure and simply reporting the characteristic ZBCFLG005 in the rows, then getSelectedMember works i.e. provides the selected structure value (member).
How do I get Design Studio to read the member value from the BEx structure or is this a potential bug?
Thx

Hi Stephen,
I do not think this is a bug, I have used characteristic structures quite extensively without having an issue.
Are you using setfilter against a characteristic or against a characteristic structure?
In your example, you are using a characteristic in both, to filter from, and to filter to:
DS_DET.setFilter( "ZBCFLG005", CHART_1.getSelectedMember( 'ZBCFLG005' ) );
But if you use a characteristic structure, you should also use it also in bith from and to, e.g.:
DS_DET.setFilter( "00O2TG4C8BB5D9L8PYOLHP7N8", CHART_1.getSelectedMember( '00O2TG4C8BB5D9L8PYOLHP7N8' ) );
Best regards,

How to get the last element of a structure in a textfield in DesignStudio

Hello,
how can I get the last element of a structure within a bex query?
Within the structure we are working with dates that dynamically are buiId (input date - offsets for several months).
I have to show the last value in a single textfield within DesignStudio.
Regards
Frank

Hi Frank,
in DS 1.3 you can use forEach function to get the last element of BEx structure (or n-th element in general using if condition)
var array = DS_CROSSTAB1.getMembers("DHGY5D6XEFO1K45SB00BXFH7A",10);
var lastMember="";
array.forEach(function(element, index) {
lastMember = element.text;
TEXT_1.setText("Last structure element: "+lastMember);

Custom structure grouping in crystal report 2008

I have a Product Line revenue report, where it is reporting revenue and cost for various oilfield divisions such as oilfield us, oilfield egypt, oilfield oman etc.... and total at the end.
say if iam developing a custom structure for each division in a BEx query and the results of the queries have to be shown in one report.
now the custom structure is coming down as a flat structure in crystal report 2008, so I added conditional formatting in X-position to indent, that shows as a hierarchy.
I will do the same for all the divisions in the report.
Can I make this each division as groups so I can add the drill-down to see a particular division by selecting that group, instead of scrolling thru pages. Please help!!
Any suggestion with all that Iam doing to generate the P&L report is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Ingo,
This is not hierarchy actually. It is actually BEx structure created in row section which replicating hierarchy levels. In BEx web application it provides the hierarchy look.
But while using it in either WebI, crystal report or Voyager it gives us a flat column instead of hierachy. I have understood this.
Using this flat column I am trying to create groups to replicate the hierachy structure. Please let me know if you want more explanation.
Thanks

TOC in PDF does not include Link OBJR tags when exported from InDesign

I'm using InDesign CS6 to export a book file to a tagged PDF. When I run the accessibility checker in Acrobat 9, I get errors about items not being contained in the Structure tree. These missing items are links for the TOC and the Index page numbers. When I look at the tags, the Link OBJR tag is missing for these elements. I can't possibly manually add them all in. Other links e.g. cross-references, hyperlinks, automatically include these Link OBJR tags when exported. Why does the TOC and Index not do so?
I've asked this question in the InDesign Forum and no one seems to know. If I don't put these tags in, what does that mean for accessibility of the document?
Thanks for your help

Glad you found something that worked. For the future ... I found that if you create the PDF from BOOK and following these steps you can get the hyperlinks to automatically tag. This will work if you are getting editable hyperlink boxes for the TOC -- I find that it is creating these (although I could swear it didn't earlier). Anyway:
1. Select all chapters in the book and create PDF with hyperlinks and bookmarks. Save as TEST.PDF
2. Open the PDF and in the Pages Panel extract the page or pages containing the the TOC from the PDF. Save this as TOCtest.pdf
3. Delete the Tags from the TOCtest.pdf file -- in the Tags Panel, select the Root tag, right click and select delete
4. Select Add Tags to Document to this same file.
5. Examine the tags to see if all the OBJLINKs are tagged. Repeat steps 3 and 4 again (sometimes it doesn't autotag correctly the first time). You may have to manually correct some of the structure -- headings and/or artifacts on these pages.
6. Save again.
7. Go back to the main document TEST.PDF -- delete the TOC page or pages from that document (assuming you didn't when you extracted.)
8. On the pages panel, Insert from file and choose TOCtest.pdf -- insert before the first page.
9. This will bring in the newly tagged TOC and it's tags HOWEVER the tags will be out of order in the tags panel. They will be at the bottom and you will need to find them and MOVE them where they should be.
Still more effort than you should have to but it worked for me.
Not sure how to record a bug with Adobe, but my testing in CS5 shows that this is NOT a new problem. CS5.5 did the same thing for me.

Formula for calculating Quarter value in current calendar Year

Hi All,
I have a requirement where in i need to display values for Q1 of Current Calendar Year, Q1 of Previous Calendar Year,Variance in Value and % Variance in Value...Similarly for Q2,Q3,Q4.
We have built the report directly from Bex Query from the SAP tab in Crystal Reports. The formula for Quarter1,Variances etc are defined in Bex Structures and i am unable to get 'em individually here rather i am getting them as a whole in a single object with the structure name. Now is there a way that i can define my own formula in Crystal Reports so that i can get the values for the constraints defined above???
If yes please give me the syntax or an example formula so that i can work around.
please Help,
Thanks & regards,
R.N

What fields are you getting?
or what is the data you are working with is it
transID, date, value......
or is it
Q1, Year1, Value.......

TOC in PDF

I need to generate a document whose face page is a government form and the continuation pages have quite a few logic to churn out the contents. I have kept the government form as PDF template. The continuation pages are put in a RTf template so that i can use xsl to code my logic. I then use PDFDocMerge API to combine this into a single PDF.
The issue that am facing is, i have a TOC sitting in the face page. I need to give the page numbers against the sections which am generating in the RTF template. What i need is someway to parse the generated PDF of the continuation pages, retrieve the sections and corresponding pages and update it to the face page PDF before/after merging the docs.
Is this possible? Is there any api. I checked the fo processor api but couldn't find any methods. Are there any other ways of achieving this?
Any pointers please.
Thanks,
Bhuvana
