BI 7.0 Infoset - Infocube - Left outer join - query

Hi Expert,
A infoset contain Infocube and ODS, linked with left outer join, common fields are PO,PO item. PO account assignment ODS have three keyfields: PO Doc.,Item,account Assignment .
 PO Infocube PO Account Assignment ODS
PO PO item AmtPO Doc. Item AccAssignment Cost object
1000 10 230 1000 10 1 CC1
1001 10 250 1002 10 1 CC1
1002 10 150 1002 10 2 CC2
in BEx result are like this:
1000 10 230 1 CC1
1001 10 250 # #
1002 10 150 1 CC1
1002 10 150 2 CC2 ( amount only duplicated)
The issue was that amount gets duplicated. It only occurs if PO has more than one account assignment.
In report, we want show like this
1000 10 230 1 CC1
1001 10 250 # #
1002 10 150 1 CC1
1002 10 # 2 CC2
Any suggestion or input to overcome this issue?
Thanks,
Saran

Left outer join query

Hi Experts,
 I am facing a problem with left outer join query. Am using one standard table and ztable for this join. My problem is values are not extracted from the Ztable.
Query:
 SELECT b~lifnr b~belnr b~gjahr b~xblnr b~shkzg b~blart b~zfbdt b~budat b~wrbtr
 b~wskto b~zlspr s~EXTRACT_STATUS s~maturity_date FROM bsik AS b
 LEFT OUTER JOIN zprm_rvne_sapdoc AS s
 ON s~belnr EQ b~belnr
 AND s~gjahr EQ b~gjahr
 INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_join
 WHERE b~zlsch = p_zlsch
 AND b~xblnr IN so_invno
 ORDER BY b~lifnr b~xblnr.
I have all entries of BSIK table in Ztable with extract status as Y but this query is not fetching extract status and maturity date of ztable so it is blank in the internal table.
Need solution.

Hi,
see the sample wiki for writing the Left outer join
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/EmployeeInfotype0000to9999ChangeHistory
Specifying Two or More Database Tables as a Left Outer Join
The left outer join, on the other hand, reads lines from the left-hand database table or join even if there is no corresponding line in the right-hand table.
SELECT...
FROM <tab> LEFT [OUTER] JOIN <dbtab> [AS <alias>] ON <cond>
 <options>
<tab> and <dbtab> are subject to the same rules and conditions as in an inner join. The OUTER addition is optional. The tables are linked in the same way as the inner join with the one exception that all lines selected from <tab> are included in the final selection. If <dbtab> does not contain any lines that meet the condition <cond>, the system includes a single line in the selection whose columns from <dbtab> are filled with null values.
In the left outer join, more restrictions apply to the condition <cond> than in the inner join. In addition to the above restrictions:
EQ or = is the only permitted relational operator.
There must be at least one comparison between columns from <tab> and <dbtab>.
The WHERE clause may not contain any comparisons with columns from <dbtab>. All comparisons using columns from <dbtab> must appear in the condition <cond>.
If we have two tables named stud1,stud2 with the following data
Stud1: id Name stud2: id Name
1 xxx 1 aaa
2 yyy 2 bbb
3 zzz 4 ccc
4 www 6 ddd
When we use Left Outer Join we get the output as:
1 aaa
2 bbb
3 <Null>
4 ccc
When we use Right Outer Join we get the output as:
1 aaa
2 bbb
4 ccc
<Null> ddd
When we use Full Outer Join we get the output as:
1 aaa
2 bbb
3 <Null>
4 ccc
<Null> ddd

Filter on "---" in Left Outer Join Query

Hi guys,
very basic question but I have not found an answer, yet. I built an left outer join MDO query and need to select all those dataset that did not find a "partner", that is fields are set to "---". However, I do not manage to filter on '---', NULL...
When using SQL, it appears to be a String "---" but in MDO???

Hey guys, found out that IS NULL needs to be used in query. Anyway, it appears to cause problems somewhere else.
I placed an IS NULL filter expression inside a join query but query did not return any results when called in by transaction. After removing this line, both NULL and NOT NULL data were returned. When used in test mode, IS NULL was working fine...

Issue on left outer join query in 10G

Dear Mr./Mrs./Ms. Oracle expertise,
The following query structure can function properly in Oracle 9i, but not work in Oracle 10G.
Please kindly advise what happened in Oracle 10G?
Is it a bug in 10G? If yes, any patch for it?
select a.col1,
a.col2,
a.col5,
b.col3,
b.col4
from t1 a
inner join t2 c on c.col1 = a.col1
left join (select col3
col4
from t3) b
on b.col1 = a.col1
and a.col2 = 'Y' <---------- seems 10G cannot allow this condition
where a.col5 = 123;
Purpose of above SQL
====================
Only those records from t1 table with a.col2 = 'Y' will
do the left outer join to "b" table and get the columns b.col3 and b.col4
Result set in Oracle 9i
=======================
col1 col2 col5 col3 col4
AAA N 111
BBB N 222

Dear Schneider,
Sorry that there was a typo in my query.
Below is the revised query.
select a.col1,
a.col2,
a.col5,
b.col3,
b.col4
from t1 a
inner join t2 c on c.col1 = a.col1
left join (select col1,
col3,
col4
from t3) b
on b.col1 = a.col1
and a.col2 = 'Y' <---------- seems 10G cannot allow this condition
where a.col5 = 123;
Thanks.

How to Mark join as left outer join in Info set

Hi Folks,
I have 2 info cubes in Info set, I need to mark the join as Left outer join.
I have read some blogs where is says that it cant be joined, but one of my colleagues has made left outer join using two cubes.
I want to replicate the same thing into my design.
If i normally connect one IO to another cubes same IO- its a normal join- its not written as left outer join. I want to see left outer join written on my link.
I tried global setting but no use.
Am I missing some setting,

Hi Vivek,
Please have a look at SAP Note 577953 - @0S@ InfoSets (BW): Left outer joins.
The answer on question "3. How do I define a left outer join in InfoSet maintenance?" describes how you should proceed.
Best regards,
Sander

Left Outer Join on same table clarification

HI,
I have a table that gets populated from 3rd party system. We don’t have control over it. So, the table has master record (master) and children. Master type is 78 and children’s type is 64. So, it looks like this. In the 3rd
party system, if Master transaction gets cancelled, it is recorded as type 178. If child is cancelled, then it is 164. Once the child is cancelled and created again using one process then newly created transaction will have 65 as type. Same thing with Master
cancelled transaction also. It will be 79. So, to summarize:
Master:
Brand New Transaction type = 78
Cancelled Transaction type = 178
Cancelled with creation transaction type = 79
Child:
Brand New Transaction type = 64
Cancelled Transaction type = 164
Cancelled with creation transaction type = 65
I don’t have to bother about master records. I need to focus on only children for my query.

I need a clarification regarding left Outer Join.
In the first left outer join query both 64 and 164 both have TL.TxnID populated. Why is that?. What I understand from
left outer join is that ‘Returns all the rows’ from left table and only matching data from right table.
Here, matching row from right table is 211565 and 164 record (id 193083). So, only it should have TxnID populated. But row 211565 and 64 has TL.txnID getting populated (ID 193082).
Why is it? Am I not understanding left out join properly?
Thanks,

Thank you Shailesh. I understood what join does in left outer join. I was thinking
Left Outer JOIN #Transactions TL ON TL.TxnID = T.TxnID and TL.TypeCode = 164 is same as
Left Outer JOIN #Transactions TL ON TL.TxnID = T.TxnID and TL.TypeCode = T.TypeCode
and TL.TypeCode = 164

I am using BI 7.0 and have two cubes in my Infoset.
How do we set left outer join option in Infoset.
Thanks

BI Infoset left outer join (NW04s)

I created an Infoset using a left outer join for infoproviders:
- 0FIGL_O10 (GL transaction figures - DSO )
- 0CCA_C03 (CCA Statistical key figures - CUBE)
DSO 0FIGL_O10 is the left table with joins on:
- 0COSTCENTER
- 0FISCPER
The data set returned by Infoset appears to be based on a SQL using an
inner join.
This appears to be a bug.
We are on BI 700 SP 15.

Hi Raynald - I did a demo with few records and it works fine for me. We are on 7, SP14.

Left Outer Join not working in Infoset.

Hello Friends,
I have two ODSes , one for planned data (zplan) and other is billing z ods (zsd_o03).
now the situation is such that in my planned ODS for one sold to party .
SOLD TO        MATERRIAL CALMONT     PLANNED QUANTIY
14315            100                06.2007           54
14315            200                06.2007           20
14315            300                06.2007           30
14315            400                06.2007           10
But in my Billing ODS iam having for Sold to 14315
SOLD TO        MATERRIAL CALMONT     ACTUAL QUANTIY
14315           100           06.2007                  20
14315           200           06.2007                  30
And my Bex ouput should be like
SOLD TO        MATERIAL CALMONT        planned             ACTUAL QUANTIY
14315            100                06.2007           54                                 20
14315            200                06.2007           20                                30
14315            300                06.2007           30                                  0
14315            400                06.2007           10                                0
So for this i made one Infoset and these ODses are linked by Sold_to , Materail,
Calmonth.
First i tried using Inner joing option , but the bottom two lines were not ciming , so used left outer join , and activated and recreated the query but still its showiong me the output same as inner join .. i.e
14315            100                06.2007           54                                 20
14315            200                06.2007           20                                30
So i checked by writing a ABAP code in Se38 , but there its showing me the correct result ..
So please anybody help me out because iam thinking that infoset is the right way to do this kind of reporting , or esle shall i make one ODS and populate it through this ABAP code..
Thanks in advance.

Hi , can anybody help me in this regard..

How to find Inner join or (Left)outer join for Infoset

Dear Experts,
We have one Infoset which is based on the Master data and DSO. It is linked 0BPARTNER field From the Master Data and SOLD TO PARTY field from the DSO.
Here Could you please suggest me how can we able to find that whether this Infoset is based on Inner Join or (Left) outer join.
Thanks and Regards,
Suresh.

HI Suresh,
If the infoset is based on left outer join , you see the respective table shaded in a dirrerent colour and also displays
that it is a left outer join in the connection
refer the below link for the details on left outer join , you can make a join as left outer from the context menu of the
object required

How to change to a left outer join an Infoset that is already created?

Hi! I need HELP please!!!

Could anyone help me, please!?

Hi,
This is very simple. Just right click on the right operand, you will see the option.

Left Outer Join Not working in BI 7.0 Infoset

Hi All,
I am working on BI 7.0. I have to create a report where I have to display the Target values from a target DSO against the transactional data (Operational data).
I have a DSO where for a subteam value target has been set up on different KPIs.
In the Info Cube, I have transactional data on daily basis per subteam. I have to show the actual and target values.
I have created an Info Set using Target DSO and Daily operational cube, so that I should able to compare the target and actual values of KPIs, for all the subteam values (From DSO, irrespective of whether the data is available in cube for those sub team).
I have used Outer Left Join in the Info set (DSO on left side), but I am unable to see the desired results. It is working just like an inner join.
Any Idea why the Outer Left Join is not working? The DSO has only one fey field called subteam on which I have set outer left join.

Amit

InfoSet with Left Ouer Join

Hi,
I got a requirement to design Infoset with OUTER JOIN between 2 ODS. Even after making the outer join query is displaying the output as INNER JOIN.
Contract ODS   (0CRM_CNT2)     [T00001]
     Contract Number
     Contract Item
Sales ODS (ZCRG_O16)             [T00002]
    Contract Number
    Contract Item
Above 2 ODS are joined by Contract Number and Contract Item and marked Sales ODS as LEFT OUTER JOIN. I want to list all Contract line items in the query output even though there is no sales on that contract item.
SQL from the Query

I can't seem to get the left outer join function of Crystal Reports to emulate the same SQL query in SQL 2005. Any ideas on how I can create this same query in Crystal 2008?
Thanks,
Dominic

If you want the list of values for command level parameter then you need to add another command like
select PropertyField from table
and delete the links between this command and the existing command.
Now go to field explorer and edit the command level parameter and make it as dynamic and add the property field from newly added command.
Hope this helps!
