Changing hierarchies in BeX

Hello
I've two SAP FI/CO hierarchies in use that show different structures of cost elements. Now, I'd like to give users the possibility to change the hierarchies directly in BeX (e.g. in a drop-down) instead of using to different queries. Is that possible? Has someone an idea? Thank you!
Regards
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
You can create a Hierarchy variable (not hierarchy node variable) to achieve this.
To do this, right click the characteristic and select properties.
select the hierarchy name selection button.
check the variables check box
create a variable
Now the user can chose which hierarchy to be diplayed before running the query and change it if they want after running the query
Good luck,
Vijay

Problem in BW system while tranporting a change in a Bex Query

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in BW system while tranporting a change in a Bex Query. Actually on our BW system our Client team works as well. I have done started doing some change in query in dev. I have created bex transportable request
I want to transport a change in bex query. I am doing that dev work. usually i create a request in RSA1->tranport connection-> drag a query to a bex transportable request which I have already created. But the problem is my client also want to work on the same query for another change. so he is asking me to release the request or delete the request.. Is there any otherway that I can do the transports without conflicting with Client.
Regards.

Hi Harris,
A transport request if is BEx transport request (i.e. a request which is assigned as BEx transport request in transport connection) allows multiple users to work on same query.
Instead of deleting your request, you could assign it as a BEx transport request in transport workbench and your client can also make changes under the same request without adding him under the request. It will also be better as all the changes made to one query will be onder one request.
Please let me know if you need any more help.

Can we restrict changes made in BEx query not to resemble in Universe

Hello Gurus,
I have a question. Lets say if there is a universe created based on BEx query and if later on BEx query is changed (newly added Chars, KF's or change in names) can we restrict the changes not to resemble in Universe?
Please give me any related document or link which will be a big favor for me.
Thanks a lot for your time.

Changes in the BEx query are not reflected always automatically in your universe: Eg. if you add an new restriction or a new keyfigure. You have to maunally refresh the structure of your universe and export it again on your BOBJ server.
Some changes will be automatically available though eg. if you change the code of a customer exit variable which is already used in your BEx query, even if you do not refresh the universe.
Please keep in mind that some kind of changes in the query (removing existing key figures or characteristics) may cause error messages when you try to run your universe (assuming you did not update it).
The recommendation here is to refresh your universe when you change the underlying BEx query. If you do not want to do that then your universe may stop working.

How to change color in BEx Browser?

Hello Friends,
How to change color in BEx Browser?
My browser shows all the report description with pink color. I want to change the color.
Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Bhavin,
It seems the patches for BW Add-On are being kept pretty much in sync for 6.20 and 6.40 (i.e they seem to be released at around the same time, even that the patch level numbers are different).
However, at BW Add-on Patch level 4 on a SAPgui640 machine, we didn't have the "pink font" problem.
It may be that BW 3.5 Add-On patch 6 will have a similar effect for you - it may be worth trying.
Here is the link to the BW3.50 patch 6... https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~swdc/012002523100000108232005D/bw350_6-10001615.exe?_ACTION=DL_DIRECT
The patch 6 referred to above is for the BW3.50 Add-On - the SAPgui patch is typically a different number (the 11 that you mention is the SAPgui patch level).
Best regards,
Pat M.

How to create hierarchies in Bex queries?

Hi All,
I am new to query designer tool,
can you please help me how to create hierarchies in Bex queries using query designer tool?
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
directly you can't create hierarchy at bex level.
First you have to maintain hierarchy data source at source or bw side, based on your needs.
Later you can load data to hierarchy, after that at bex level you can activate hierarchy options to related info object properties.
To maintain hierarchy we need to enable hierarchy options at related info object(RSD1, hierarchy tab, select with hierarchies) maintenance level.
For example: info object - 0GL_ACCOUNT and you need hierarchy structure on gl account.
For that we need to have hierarchy data source and will load data from ecc.
Later we can develop reports on gl account in hierarchy fashion.
On what object infoo bject you want create hierarchy report and have loaded hierarchy data?
Thanks

Hierarchies in BEX

Hi,
i have a problem with displaying hierarchies in BEX. I have created a hierarchy on infoobject (hierarchy is active) and I have added this infoobject in a cube. I have created an report on a cube and I want to display hierarchy in this report.
The hierarchy on infoobject seems to be OK in BW, but in BEX it displayes only unassigned values and the direct values - not a hierarchy.
I have filled in a cube values, which correspondes "NODENAME" in hierarchy on infoobject.
Is it OK?
Thans for help
Radka

Hi,
it seems does not help.
But I have another question, the hierarchy is created using infoobjects as nodes, but I have filled in a cube only the infoobject with hierarchy. It is neccery to fill somewhere the hierarchy nodes, for example in atributtes of infoobject or so.
Thanks for help
Radka

Changing hierarchies dynamically in BEX

Hi Experts!
I have two hierarchies for one object. When I run my report on the WEB I can swap these hierarchies dynamically, i.e. I can choice the hierarchy at the execution moment (in the context menu I have this option in the object proprieties)
But, I could not found the same option when I run my report on the EXCEL environment.
Does anybody know if I have this option or not in the BEX?
Thanks
Silvio Messias.

Hi Silvio:
I have another solution for your qestion.
In BI 7.0, when you excute your query on WEB.
You could right-click on your item, which you want to change the hierarchy, and select properties->Characteristic. Then you to Hierarchy tab, here you can change the hierarchy dynamically ^ - ^
Wish this is helpful to you

Changes made in Bex query not refelecting in Webi reports BO 4.0

Hello Every One,
We have made changes in BeX query and these changes are not getting reflected in webi reports.
- We try to edit the connections.
- Recreated the new connections and point it the webi report.
We are using BO4.0 patch 2.9.
DO we have to made any setting in BICS or in CMC or there are any parameter need to tkae care while creating the OLAP connections. we are using SSO.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
You shouldn't have to do a "change source" at data provider level, but confirming the object mappings again by repointing webi to the bex query should help.
As i'm sure you know, we are delivering many corrections in this area, for example:
If this concerns a Hierarchy change see ADAPT01607814 (P2.11)
If it concerns change to prompt variables see ADAPT01609491 (P2.12)
Here's the link to the readme for Patch2.12 (out today) https://websmp101.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001362992011E
Out of interest, what change did you make in the bex query specifically ?

Create report on hierarchies using Bex Analyzer

Hi sir/mam,
can any one tell me how to create report on hierarchy in BEx Analyzer .
Basically i have an info object which is kept under Rows.what i did wasi simply dragged from Dimensions and dropped that info Object into Rows in Rows/Column pane.But that info object has hierarchy in Dimensions. when i dragged and dropped i only get that info object not with the Hierarchy.Now i have to create a report on that info object with the same Hierarchy as it is in the dimensions .
please tell me the steps how to create hierarchy .

Dolly, welcome to developing in BW.
A hierarchy is considered a 'Property' of a characteristic. You can just right-click on the characteristic and select the hierarchy from the tab titled "Hierarchy" in the properties section. Select "Activate Hierarchy Display" and choose the hierarchy you want to show. You can also use a variable to allow the user to select from all available hierarchies for that characteristic.
(Note that this is for BI 7. BW 3.x involves a similar process, but the interface is a bit different.

No exclusion for hierarchies in BEx query

I am trying to determine why a hierarchy cannot be excluded in a BEx filter.
We have a profit center with a hierarchy and sub-hierarchies under the main hierarchy.
I have a BEx query setup so the profit center is in the Free Selection area. Under the Properties section the main hierarchy is set and the Activate Hierarchy Display option is turned on.
When I run the BEx report and access the filter, I can see the hierarchies and sub-hierarchies, but there is not option to exclude a sub-hierarchy (red dot).
Is this normal or am I missing something?
Let me know,
Bill

Hello Yi,
I don't know about the message in the trace. Try running the query in transaction RSRT first. Check the BW statistics in table RSDDSTAT. If QDBSEL and/or QDBTRANS are 0, then there's probably some incorrect restriction in your query.
You can also do a SQL trace and check if the big SQL statements return some records. There have been cases where the database did not work correctly (see SAP notes).

Displaying results for Hierarchies in BEx

Dear Bwers,
I have a query that has hierarchy and a calculated key figure(CKF). The CKF for the parent nodes now displays the total of all child nodes whereas i need the parent node to display the average of the child nodes. Is there a way to do this? All or any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Raj

Bjorn,
i tried that but i got this error message while i execute the query.
Calculating result as...' was not executed
   Message no. BRAIN141
iagnosis
   The function 'Calculate Results as ...' could not be used in all
   instances.
   The recalculation of a result cell always occurs based on the set of
   detatiled cells subordinated to this cell. This is the most detailed
   level of the drilldown. Therefore it is not posible to recalculate in
   hierarchical lists. The calculation of a results cell is not performed
   if a cell or column with an expand symbol is assigned beneath it.
   Otherwise the newly calculated result is changed every time one of its
   lower-level nodes is expanded. This is not supported for technical
   reasons and would also only confuse users.
   Note, however, that calculating with "Suppress Results" is always
   executed because the restriction described above does not apply in this
   case.
Thanks
Raj

Changing colors of BEx exceptions?

Is it possible to change the colors of the exceptions within bex for good, critical and bad? I want to make sure the color is printing safe.

Hi Vi Tran,
1. Only 9 predefined exception colours are there. So you have to choose among them.
2. Yes, it is possible to use [BT] for negative numbers. When you use BT for negative numbers, make sure you use the range as From Value is Lower value and to value is greater value. for your example 0 and -5, use the range as
     Alert Level     Operator     From Value     To Value
          Bad1          BT               -5                    0
Ex     Bad2          BT                   -10               -5
Hope this will help.
Thanks,
Ashish

Display Hierarchies in BEX Analyser

Hi Experts,
How to display hierarchies for the Infoobject in BEX. I have created a hierarchy in BW for the infoobject, How to display the same structure in BEX.

I assume you have loaded the Hierarchy. Now, in the Query designer, click on the infoobject and on the right panel, go to Hierarchy tab. Check 'Activate Hierarchy Display' and choose your hierarchy from the selection help.
You can expand your hierarchy to a certain default level viz. 1,2,3 etc based on the level to which you want to display your Nodes.
