BI 7.0- Filled Cube- Change Attribute as NAVIGATIONAL and for BEX

Hi,
We are on BI 7.0.
I have the following task:
Making an Attribute NAVIGATIONAL and making it available in the BEX for a Filled LIVE Cube.
Questions:
1. Is it done through Remodelling or is it just change the attribute to NAV and add the Attribute under NAV attribute while creating Cube? As said above this is a live cube with data in it.
2. Does it need any other adjustments or steps after this point.
Steps to make a Attribute Naviagtional :-> Need Verification-
1. Change the Attribute from DIS to NAV in InfoObject maintenance.
2. I know there is the second step to add NAV attribute in Cube. I am doubtful, can someone confirm. Under the InfoCube-> Change, add the attribute under NAV Attributes.
Will appreciate your replies.

1. Is it done through Remodelling or is it just change the attribute to NAV and add the Attribute under NAV attribute while creating Cube? As said above this is a live cube with data in it.
no need of remodeling, do it normally
2. Does it need any other adjustments or steps after this point.
activate yr Infoobject (its not gonna impact yr data modelling at all because NAV or Display setting is set for BEx)
Steps to make a Attribute Naviagtional :-> Need Verification-

2. I know there is the second step to add NAV attribute in Cube. I am doubtful, can someone confirm. Under the InfoCube-> Change, add the attribute under NAV Attributes.
actually u could make attribute NAV in cube only when if its set so at infoobject level otherwise NAV checkbox wont be appeared in edit mode in infocube

My iPhone 4 has recently started to flicker. I've changed the brightness settings and for a short period of time it was back to normal, but now it is much worse! What am I to do?

Three days ago I was trying to take a picture, but I couldn't see what I was taking because of the flickering white lines that covered the screen. But when I looked at the image after taking it, it was perfectly fine. So I knew it wasn't the camera playing up. The next day my phone wouldn't allow me to view images without the lines appearing. The following day I changed my brightness settings, and it went back to normal. But now it is much worse. No matter what I try to do the flickering lines are all over the screen! I don't know what to do. I would appreciate any help, thank you!
These images don't really show the extent of the flickering, but it may give you an idea

I'm not a fan of DFU mode because I've never seen it recommended by Apple.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

After upgrading to version 4, maximizing my Firefox browser window changes the menu, navigation, and bookmarks bars to a very dark color scheme

When the window is 'floating', the colors are normal. Maximized, the background color is near-black and the text has a glowing appearance. I downloaded and and applied a different theme in trying to fix the problem, to no avail. I have never used a dark theme for Firefox, so it should not be a buggy recurrence of an old setting.

You just need more RAM for the software you are using. Yosemite likes a lot of RAM and an SSD.

ASO Cube with attributes very slow in retrieval

Hi,
I have a ASO Cube with 5 base dimensions and 8-9 attributes on the entity dimension. I have only 5-6 measures, which do the averages and counts based on the 40 day period. Howere, the data is loaded at the 15 minute increment
Entity
Date - (date-time, lowest level being date)
TIme - ( 15 minute time for the full 24 hour period, has a attribute assocuated with oit)
LocationType
Measures.
The sample formula is
IIF(Islevel([Locations].CurrentMember,0), Avg(CrossJoin({[Measure].[Sale]},{[DateDim].CurrentMember.lag(40):[DateDim].CurrentMember})),Missing)
Is there a way, i can have this calculated as a part of the script? DO you suggest i create a BSO, to do these calculations and pass on the result.
In OBIEE, the report is to display the followung based on the date input.
Entity Gen7, Entity Gen 6..... Entity Gen 2, Attr1, Attr2, Attr3, Attr4, Attr5, Attr6, Attr7, Measures

2 things I would look at
1st - I don't know how much performance you would get out of this, but I'm not clear why you are using a crossjoin in your MDX, it seems unnecessary and may cause more overhead. The following should work, you could also try using IsLeaf instead and see if that is any faster
IIF(Isleaf([Locations].CurrentMember),
Avg({[DateDim].CurrentMember.lag(40):[DateDim].CurrentMember},
[Measure].[Sale], INCLUDEEMPTY)
2nd - your problem mostly revolves around the fact that you are running a 40 member sum/avg for every member you are querying. It also sounds like the average is at the Day level, which is not level 0. So for all forty days, ASO also has to calc the results of each of those days. Remember that aggregations only get you so far, you should really think of everything in ASO as dynamic and that is why you can see what you have set up is not going to work that well, it is too calc intensive.
I don't know how practical this is, but to get this to work fast you would probably need to break out the 15 minute increments below the day level to another dimension so the day level becomes a stored level zero member. The 15 minute increment dimension should also be stored. If at all possible you would want to have an alternate stored hierarchy with the 40 days you want to base the average on. Enable alternate hierarchies in your aggregations, then change your MDX calc to be based on the parent of the 40 day hierarchy divided by 40. That would be fast.
I suppose you could opt to not break out the 15 minute increments and just have the shared hierarchy made up of the 15 minute increments that are below the 40 days. That would still give you a good stored subtotal that with some query hints you could get optimized.

Manager is not able to change attribute

Hello SRM Guru,
As per my knowledge Managers can change the attributes defined for their organizational unit(s) or for users in their organizational unit(s) using the Web application Changing Attributes BBPATTRMAINT. In my case manager is only able to only change attributes defined for their organizational unit(s) not for the users in the organizational unit(s).
Could you please suggest what could be the setting I am missing? I have also tried with standrad manager and administrator role.
Thanks,
Jack

Jack
It seems that you are trying to change the attribute value which is inherited.
If the user attributes are inherited from the parent org unit level, then you cannot change them at user level. You need to go to the parent level where attributes are set and change there. This will affect to all levels down the line wherever inherited. Be careful while doing this.
If you do not want those attributes to get inherited down the line then remove the value at parent level. Then you can add new value to that attribute at the user level.

Error while changing the Display Attribute into Navigational Attribute

Hi all.. Gud Mrng.
I was changed the attribute (product) from display attribute into navigational attribute and while save and activating the info object it is not getting activated and it is throwing the below error message.
Error Message: u201CThe Info object is being used in several data targetsu201D
My Questions:
i) Do I need to delete the data from all the data targets (where this info object is using)??
ii) Do I need to delete data only from the main info object (Zmaterial)? Is this single action enough?
Please suggest me which action I need to follow & What are the precautions need to take while changing the Display Attribute (product) into Navigational attribute of info object (Zmaterial).
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
B Venugopal

Hi Garima
Only in case of key figures we cannot change it from display to navigational.
If the info object is a characteristics then in the General tab of the info object if you select 'attribute only' then the iobj would be a display attribute only. If you leave it unmarked then you can use the iobj as a navigational atribute.
I am sure you know that these settings only mean if a IOBJ can be used as display or navigational. To use it as a navigational within another object you will have to change the settings from 'DIS' to 'NAV' for the said info object in the 'Attributes' tab of its parent info object.
Further if you use the parent info object in any data target / infio provider you will have to further mark the info object as 'navigational' while defining the attrbute of the said data target / info provider. The info object gets displayed in the data target / info provider attribute properties as 'parent IOBJ_info object'

Operation ' Change Attribute TSTATE ' could not be carried out for Request

hi,
i am unable to delete the request Id from DSO. and when i checked that, it says request is partially activated(error occured during the activation)
and when i checked the logs i got the following error messages:
Operation ' Change Attribute TSTATE ' could not be carried out for Request 609249
Termination in problem report 'RSS2_DTP_RNR_SUBSEQ_PROC_SET' in row ' 361'
i even thought it was BASIS issue but it was not.
due to this error the process chain is failing daily
kindly help
regards
laksh

hi arvind,
i tried using the both the methods you had mentioned, i am able to delete the request at that moment but its again coming back, i think as it is a partially activated request so may be that is why it is happening

Operation ' Change Attribute TSTATE ' could not be carried out

Hi All,
When I attempt to compress an infocube I get the following error messages:
@5C\QError@ Operation ' Change Attribute TSTATE ' could not be carried out for Request 1114486
@5C\QError@ Termination in problem report 'RSS2_DTP_RNR_SUBSEQ_PROC_SET' in row '255'
I checked the request 1114486 in infocube and saw that its status is green however the overall status in the load monitor was "deleted".
How can I fix the problem with this request ?
It is a very old request and it was already uploaded to several other targets.
Thanks in advance..
Berna

hi,
It can be due to large data volume which might require more system resources then usual, see if there is any dump related to this in ST22, Also check whether any request is currently running on cubefor data loaded to cubeor getting load to further targets
try compression for less requests say 3 or 4, see if it works or not
hope it helps

Changing attribute order in a planning layout

Hi all,
I have a planning layout with one characteristic in lead column and 4 others attributes to be displayed with. The attributes appear with the following order:
-standard infoobject (sort by technical name).
-all other custom infoobjects /(sort by technical name too).
Is it possible to change this order?
Thanks for help
Vincent

No
I dont think that is possible.

Authorization to change attribute co.code

Hi,
We have tested and see that authorization to change attributes is coming from role /SAPSRM/MANAGER. Our goal in here is to make the attribute company code to be changeable for purchaser, but the purchaser cannot change other attribute. Can someone enlight me of how to do this?
Best regards,
John

Hi Saravanan,
Thanks for the reply, but I think you mis-understand my question. The note you're giving me is for allowing some field in the document to be edited during approval process. While what I asked is to know about authorization object that allowing a person to edit his/her own attributes. It seems that this object is linked to role MANAGER. We would like to know the spesific auhtorization object for maintaining attributes BUK (co.code).
Best regards,
John

User change attribute workflow with approval problem

Hello,
I have a requirement to add account numbers to user entry through workflow with approval process. and also same user can have multiple account numbers. when approver approves the User request then it's account number will be added into the user entity in ldap.
So, i have created a Change Attribute workflow for that account number with these steps as : initiate, Approval, Commit, Error_report
this workflow i am able to invoke through IdentityXML call and from OIM interfaces approvers able to approve and that account number is persisting under the User entity.
Problem is: Actually above request is staging system. when user requests, it is in initiate step, when approver approves the request then only commits the info. so, there are 2 stages here.
When i am requesting two consecutive account number requests then both requests are in initial stage. Then approver approves the 1st request then it is persisting into User entity. after that approver approves the 2nd request then this account number is overwriting the previous one. so, here is the problem i am finding. worflow is not adding the new account number.. instead its replacing the last value in the list of account numbers for an User entity.
I hope the above problem make understandable..
Really its a very much helpful to find the solution on this.
Thanks in advance,
Srini.

Thanks for the help. Having reinstalled OID/OAM a bunch of times to properly add our custom user object, nothing seems absurd. I tried running through your steps, but I'm still not getting the workflow button. I've customized create and delete workflows properly, but the change attribute is a mystery.
I did the following:
1) Selected a custom attribute in Attribute Access Control
2) Changed its read access to Anyone
3) Saved
4) Changed its modify access to Anyone
5) Saved
6) Added a new Change Attribute workflow for the custom attribute
7) Action #1: Request, added Anyone as participant and saved
8) Action #2: External Action, selected attribute is the custom one
9) Action #3: Commit
10) Saved and enabled the workflow
11) Restarted the Identity server
12) Picked a user
13) Opened his user profile
14) Clicked Modify
The custom attribute is still editable and has no Request a Change button.
