BO 4.1 SP2 Date Input controls

Hello,
We have made a BO upgrade from BO 4.0 sp7 patch level 3 to BO 4.1 sp2
After testing some reports we have realized that input controls with date dimensions are showing as timestamp and not in the correct date format (see attached), and are not filtering correctly, this was tested with different sources(bw,oracle,sql server) with the same result.
Is this a known issue, a bug? Anyone had this kind of problem?
Thanks on advance.
Santiago.

If there's a difference between the viewers, it could likely be a defect. I would recommend that you open an incident with WebI Support to take a futher look.
I just did a quick search and don't see any ADAPTs open for the date format in input controls, other than one fixed in SP05 for Input Controls ignoring locale preferences (ADAPT01645726), which looks to have forwarded into BI 4.1 SP01, so you shouldn't see it in SP02:
http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1748056
Though, if you change your viewing locale preferences and the format changes, I'd definitely recommend mentioning this in your incident.
I hope that helps!

Create a new variable on the Calendar Date object and edit it using FormatDate function and use that object for input control.
=FormatDate([Date];"yyyy-MM-dd")

How to hide 12:00:00 AM in input controls(Calendar)

I am using webi 4.0
My problem is when i select calendar date(input Controls) i am able to hide time stamp(12:00:00 AM) along with date in input Controls(MM/dd/yyyy 12:00:00 AM).
i want to see (MM/dd/yyyy) (not (MM/dd/yyyy 12:00:00 AM) )), when i select calendar date(input Controls)
if i select date in inpu controls(calendar),...
The results are now out of the picture below.
However, when the date was selected, I want the results below.
i know that the 12:00:00 AM is default values,
so ..when I select a date, I do not want to show 12:00:00AM.

Got it with:
<script type="text/javascript">
var el = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for(var i=0; i < el.length; i++) {
el[i].innerHTML = el[i].innerHTML.replace("12:00 AM","");
</script>

Tree-control for data input?

Hi,
I need to program an input screen for values that have hierarchical dependencies (e.g. sums). I feel, the most adequate user-interface would be a tree control, because of the data dependencies and also because the users asked for a possibility to collapse/expand parts of the data during input.
I had a look at CL_GUI_COLUMN_TREE, but I'm not sure, if it can be used for data input. Has anyone done something like this before or can anybody direct me to some additional sample coding? (the sample coding in the reuse library didn't do it...)
Thanks for your help, greetings, Kathrin!

Hello Kathrin,
Since you say that the user's input is hierarchical in nature, it is nice to have a tree-control for input. But, the choice of using a custom-control-version of the tree is a cause for some concern. I cannot recollect any of the SAP screens where the input can be given through such a tree framework (please do let me know if you have come across one). The problem with such a tree would be in the areas of even-handling. Filling the tree with appropriate data at the right times would be another challenge.
However, there's one alternative that I would like to direct your attention to. You must have observed another kind of tree, when you select an application component from the APPLICATION HIERARCHY, which is just like a list. Also, the <i>Transport Organizer (SE09)</i>, <i>Menu Painter (SE41)</i> etc., have this kind of a tree. You can use this if you (or rather your users) are very particular on having a tree display. For more information, you can see the Function Group <b>SEUT</b>, which has the required function modules to accomplish the same. The Function Group is well documented, and you might have to work a little on the function modules themselves.
Please do let me know if this is a suitable option to meet your requirement. All the best,
Regards,
Anand Mandalika.

Setting a default date value for input controls

Hi All,
I have created a webi report that shows - among other things - the activity between 2 dates. I have created 2 input controls where the user can select the start and end dates from a calendar for this.
The displayed data is restricted by a date variable which 'unfiltered' contains 1 month of data.
'out of the box' I can set these input controls and all works fine, but each time I open the report the same values that I set last time are set in the input controls. I want to have these default to being between today and 7 days ago with the user then able to move away from this action, rather than the 'window of interest' slowly slipping into the past.
I have looked at the forum posting Re: Default Input Control Values in WebI doc on Open which describes setting a default on the objects in the report filter pane, but this does not appear to be possible as these are 'grayed out' and i need both the input controls to run from a single object.
Does anyone have any ideas how this might be achieved?
Thanks in advance
John

Hi,
Sorry, I've obviously not explained myself very well. Please let me try to elaborate...
The report I am writting is to function as a dashboard (yes, i know - Xcelcius/Dashboard Designer - don't ask!) but asking the user to enter a prompt for the date range is not an option here. My only options for this are effectively the input controls or the report filters. I want to be able to achieve the effect of entering =CurrentDate() in the 'default value box in the same way that I would if writting a Reporting Services report. However the WebI controls do not accept expressions for this.
So...
I have one date object with a months worth of dates in it.
I have two input controls associated with this date object to allow the user to select a narrowed date range from this month of data.
I need one of these to default to 'today' and the other to default to '7 days ago' (I can do the calculations to get both dates, the bit I cannot get past is applying these dates as defaults)
can anyone help me with step 3 (in bold) above?
John

Calendar Control Date Input Field

Hi All,
1) Is there any (easy) way to place a calendar control next to a date input field for date entry help (just like in JS)?
2) If yes, how could we make the calendar help popup language-dependent ?
Thanks for all the help...

From the help menu in your Developer studio choose:
SAP Web AS Documentation,
SAP Web Dynpro applications
Then go to
Core development tasks,
View, programming UI
UI elements guide.
Alternatively, on the left hand side you can search for any Web Dynpro class (e.g. IWDContextNode) and acces the Web Dynpro API.
Good luck, Roelof

No Input controls in Web Intelligence Ritch Client ?

Hi,
I have got Web Intelligence Rich Client 12.1.0.882 ( the one from the Trial BO Edge)
I wan't to set Input Controls like Buttons, etc.
According to the Documentation "Building Reports with the Web Intelligence Java Report Panel"
( xi31_sp2_webi_java_en.pdf ) this is possible:
Chapter 19 "Filtering data using input controls"
Input controls defined
Input controls provide a convenient, easily-accessible method for filtering
and analyzing report data. You define input controls using standard windows
controls such as text boxes and radio buttons. You associate these controls
with report elements such as tables or section headers, and use the controls
to filter the data in the report elements. When you select values in the input
control, Web Intelligence filters the values in the associated report elements.
Anybody found the Input Control Tab ?
Where ?
Wrong version ?
Thanks
Martin

Hello Martin,
Thank you for your interest in that feature.
Input controls were delivered from Service Pack 2 of XI 3.1, and are available from all WebI clients, with that release level.
Version number you provide corresponds to XI 3.1, not XI 3.1 SP2, for which About... should display version number 12.2.0.290, reason why you haven't been able to find the feature.
Input control tab is available as an extra tab on the left hand side of Rich Client (by default), tab is simply called 'Input Controls', there are also a specific entry on some Report Element contextual menus (to facilitate input control definition from current selection).
Hope that helps,
David.

SP2-0027: Input is too long -error on pl/sql procedure

Can input controls be used to change sections?

Hi,
I am trying to figure out a way to use the value of an Input Control to change the section dimension without having to create multiple copies of objects and hide/display them. I have a table with multiple measures and dimensions, including multiple dates (fiscal year, India fiscal year and calendar year). I want to section the report based on the input control selection so for ex, if the user selects fiscal year on the input control, the report sections are each fiscal year, if they select calendar year, the sections are each calendar year. I created a variable that uses a simple If statement to select the object based on the input control so for ex, if the input control selection is fiscal year, then the variable is equal to the fiscal year object. If I set the section header equal to the variable, it displays the different values in the header when I change the input control selection but it isn't really creating section blocks based on the object. Is this possible? It seems like it should be.

Let me share a PoC:
I have a block like:
Dim A
Dim B
Dim C
A1
B1
C1
A1
B2
C2
A2
B2
C1
A2
B2
C2
A2
B3
C1
A3
B1
C1
A3
B4
C1
A3
B5
C2
In Input Control I would like to have A/B/C option. Accordingly it will create section by Dim A/Dim B/Dim C.
Create two variables:
Input ="A"
Section =If([Input]="A";[Dim A];If([Input]="B";[Dim B];[Dim C]))
Now, I create a section on [Section] object.
Now, I create an Input Control on [Input] object:
Let us add custom list of values as below:
We are done !!!

Drill in BW hierarchy level in webi based on input control selection

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement in Webi. The Webi report is based on BW hierarchy and it is using hierarhcy both in the report output block and also in the report prompts. We are are BI 4.0 SP5,Patch 6. The report has input controls in it based on the BW Hierarchy. When the report is first executed,the user can drill down the hierarchy by clicking on the "+" nodes to the max level as shown in the screenshot below.
Now, when the user selects an input control, the data gets filtered but the hierarchy level automatically expands. In other words, when they select a data hierarchy showed in the input control the hierarchy in table is shown expanded and they want to see the hierarchy in the table close automatically.
So ideally its like this when a value from input control is selected.
Whereas the user wants it to be like this automatically on selecting a particular value from the input control and not in expanded form.
I'm aware of the Hierarchy depth function but that only takes us to a particular node based on depth and then doesn't allow further drilling after that.
Is there any setting in webi/bex about always keeping all sub nodes closed to prevent this expansion on selection of input control?
Thanks and regards,
Abhishek

Just did some research on on this and the SAP best practice: The question itself is logically incorrect.
A report/table filter where there is a hierarchy may remove rows without respecting the hierarchy structure. For this reason, a filter can remove a parent node currently expanded and keep leaves or
nodes collapsed. To avoid returning an empty table in this case the system automatically expands the hierarchy in the block to shows the resulting members
Thats why it automoatically expands the hierarchy.
Closing this thread. Thanks.

ADF Faces: How do I set values for input controls in an af:table

Use case: user enters master/detail information into an input form using an af:table for the desired number of detail rows.
I have an ADF Faces input form with master level input controls, and an af:table (bound to a backing bean CoreTable) for the detail data set.
The input controls are value bound to updateable view objects built from entity objects, with the appropriate view links providing master/detail iterators.
Once the user has entered the master keys (via inputTexts, and selectOneChoices), I create a row in the detail VO, thus creating a visible blank row in the af:table.
The user then completes the key for the detail row (in the af:table) by selecting a value in a selectOneChoice (in a af:column) with autoSubmit on and a valueChangeListener that sets the VO row attribute with the new value.
The user then continues to enter into the remaining inputTexts and selectOneChoices in the af:columns until all values have been entered.
I do not have autoSubmit on for any input controls in the af:columns other than the key, for performance improvement.
The user can then use a command button (which has an action method) to create another row in the af:table.
But, (in the action method) I need to set the values for the 1st detail VO row attributes, from the input controls, before creating another row.
The input controls are bound to backing bean CoreInputText and CoreSelectOneChoice objects, and they have not set their values at this point, even though I have partialSubmit on for the "New Row" command button.
I do not value bind the input controls in the af:columns to the backing bean objects, because we need to display data for all rows entered into the af:table.
Any advice on the best way to perform this operation would be very appreciated!!!!

Thanks for the reply Steve!!
Yes, I followed the techniques in Screencast#7, and it works great in my edit page.
But I am having problems with my input form.
I actually have master/detail/detail relationship for which I am creating an input form.
I created the input form as a copy of the edit form, and am making revisions as necessary.
I created new view objects for the input form (from my three entity objects), which have the "Tuning" set to retrieve "No Rows (i.e. used only for inserting new rows)"
I added an invokeAction that binds the "CreateInsert" action on the master iterator, so when the page is first displayed, the master level controls are available for data entry (as in 13.6.2 in the Developers Guide): but the first level detail controls are not rendered, and the af:table (for the second level detail) is rendered but with no rows.
Once the user enters key values for the master (a three part key), I manually create a first level detail row by executing the "CreateInsert" action binding for the first level detail iterator.
Continuing on, the user then enters a key value for the first level detail I manually create a second level detail row using it's "CreateInsert" action binding.
Now the user has a form with all master and first level detail controls completed and one empty row in the af:table for it's first entry.
The key column in the af:table has autoSubmit on, and an value change listener. That listener uses it's getNewValue() to set the key value ("locationCode" in this case) using
setLocationCode from the ViewRowImpl. Here is that value change listener:
public void locationChanged(ValueChangeEvent event) {
if (null != event.getNewValue()) {
LocObsCreateViewRowImpl locCreateRow = (LocObsCreateViewRowImpl)appMod.findViewObject("LocObsCreateView").getCurrentRow();
if (null == locCreateRow.getLocationCode()) {
locCreateRow.setLocationCode(event.getNewValue().toString());
Now comes my problem: once they have entered the values in the remaining columns, they can use a command button to create another row in the 2nd detail iterator, thus creating another visible empty row in the af:table. But the values from the first row (other than the key column) are not assigned to the row in the collection and I can't figure out how to set values in the collection's row.
I imagine I'm missing something using bindings and the Request Processing Lifecycle, and after reading this I can see how much manual work is going on.
The users have specified the need to have all information available on one page, so I've designed it so they can insert and iterate through the first level detail collection.
They have also asked to not use the mouse; they are looking for a "heads-down-data-entry" system.
Again, I really appreciate any advice you could give.

WEBI 3.1 Input Controls Label

I have a requirement to label all "Multi Select" input controls that filter my data block on the report itself. Traditionally, I have used DrillFilters() to label what drop-downs have been selected. Are there any options to do the same thing?
Thanks!

Hi Phil,
'Depending' or 'cascading' input controls is not yet supported, but we are working hard at providing that feature to a coming Web Intelligence release. Along with that important enhancement, we also would like to allow definition of input control on a wider scope than reports, i.e. any subset of report within a doc. As of now, input control can only be defined to control objects within a report (and not further).
Nevertheless, if you remain in the same report, you can define an input control to filter a report element, and set this report element (e.g. a simple table) to be an input control for another area in the report. This trick can help to mimic input control dependencies, but can still have some limitations leading to inconsistent results.
Hope that helps,
David.

Webi 3.1 Input Controls on Different Tabs

Hi,
I have a requirement to pass an input control value to another tab of same report i.e, Same iDocID but different tab.
For example, say input control in Tab 1 is filtered for a specific date, same date has to be filtered in Tab 2 too. i.e, I need to reuse the input control in Tab 1 in Tab 2, so as to avoid duplication in multiple reports.
Highly appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

I was able to make it works. Just try this dummy report to know how :
- Create a custom query
select '1','MyNumber1'
union
select '2','MyNumber2'
union
select '3','MyNumber3'
For this example, 1st col will be [MyNumber] and 2nd col [Desc]
- Duplicate the default report
- On the 1st tab ("Report 1"), add a new Input Control
- Parse ReportFilterSummary("Report 1") to retrieve the filtered value in a variable named [Filtered]
=Trim(If (Pos(ReportFilterSummary("Report 1");"MyNumber Equal ") > 0) Then Substr(ReportFilterSummary("Report 1");Pos(ReportFilterSummary("Report 1");"MyNumber Equal ") + Length("MyNumber Equal ");1) Else "")
- Create a boolean variable [Filter] based on [Filtered]
=If([Filtered]="" Or [Filtered]=[MyNumber];1;0)
- On the 2nd tab ("Report 1 (1)"), add the variable [Filter] in your table
- Add a Quick Filter on this column. Select 1 as value.
So it's where everybody seems to stuck.
If we go to the first tab and select a value, we see that [Filter] value changed but the table it's not filtered until we do a refresh
If we select a value and then a different value, now the table is filtered in the second tab....but it's really annoying...and it doesn't work in Infoview...
To make it works :
Before, go to the 1st tab and reset your input control. You also need to refresh the report to make sure that the 2nd tab is ok.
So...
- Create a null measure by creating a custom query
SELECT null
For this example, this col will be [MyNull]
- On the 2nd tab, add a dummy section by creating a variable [Section] ="" and dragging it over your table
You can remove this cell after but DON'T DELETE THE SECTION
- Create a [Filter Measure] variable - Like I said...it's a MEASURE
= If ([Filter]=1) Then [Filter] Else [MyNull]
- On the 2nd tab ("Report 1 (1)"), add the variable [Filter Measure] in your table
- In the table properties, set the "Show rows with empty dimension values" to Yes (This one sounds really weird but IT MAKE IT WORKS)
AND HERE WE GO....
Just test it...go back at the 1st tab and change your Input control value....the table will change immediatly on the 2nd tab...and it works perfectly in Infoview...
You can remove the [Filter] col but not the [Filter Measure] col but you can "blank" it by removing borders and putting white color as backgroun color (to do this, you need to change it to another color first and then in white)
