Changing of R/3 PS Object Names affects BW reporting

Hi all
Would like to ask for some help on PS Objects in R/3 and BW. Current we are running BW 3.0B in Production, and we hit this issue on PS objects. In R/3, names for PS objects such as Project Definition, WBS Element, Network Activity and Network Activity Element can be changed by the R/3 users. This posed a problem to BW, as it could not recognize the changes made to the PS Object name and unable to reflect it correctly in BW. It will subsequently bring in the PS transaction data as a separate line item for the same object multiple times, and this causes reporting problems in BW.
From what I can search in the SDN and OSS, it looks like it is a design problem with the WBS and Project Definition (OSS Note 739182). I tried some solution recommended at this thread (WBS Updates in R/3 not Key in BW) and it helps 0PROJECT and 0WBS_ELEMT, by pulling the internal key into the 0PROJECT and 0WBS_ELEMT characteristics and placing the external key to the 0PROJECT_EX and 0WBS_EX characteristics. This solution works in testing, but when it comes to Network Activity and Network Activity Element, we were stumped again.
We do allow R/3 users to change the Network Activity and Network Activity Element in R/3 system, as it is part of the business process. This posed a problem, because unlike Project Definition and WBS, Network Activity and Network Activity Element does not have internal or external ID. They also don't have characteristics similar to 0PROJECT_EX and 0WBS_EX. On the other hand, we cannot stop users from changing the Network Activity and Network Activity Element in R/3.
Thus, does anyone have any good idea which can cater for Network Activity and Activity Element? Should we customize/enhance both the characteristics to include external IDs (like WBS and Project Definition) and use a conversion routine (such as WBSEL)?
Thanks alot for your help!! Appreciate your time spent on this. Cheers...
Chris

Well you can either overwite a key figure in a cube or add to it
ie
for the same physical key to a ODS per datasouce in the update rules you can have this scenarion
<key to ods> value
..                   100
now if for the same key we get 300 you can do this
overwrite
<key to ods> value
..                   300
or this
addition
<key to ods> value
..                   400

WAD - change column's color by object name

Hello to all.
I'm new in WAD.
Does anyone has an idea how to change the color of a specific column in a templte by the object name ?
Thanks in advance, Amir.

1.Create an exception on the key figure as KF > 0.
or
2.You can do it using javascript.
The below code i assume the column number is 3.Change it as per your column number.
Paste the below code in the HTML between </BODY> and </HTML>
<script type="text/javascript">
var obj = function getTableReference( "YOUR TABLE NAME" );
for (var rowno =0;rowno < obj.rows.length;rowno++)
obj.rows(rowno).cells(4).style.background = "red";
function getTableReference( table_name ){
var all_tables = document.all;
for( var i=0;i<all_tables.length;i++ ){
if (all_tables[ i ].name==table_name)//we have found tbl
return all_tables[ i ];
return null;
</script>
please remove the space in between the square brackets here [ i ].

Changing object name of role is not reflected

When I change the Current Object Name for a specific role this change is not reflected. The role still retains it original name in the PCD or when I assign the role to a user.
This only happens for a specific role in our system. For all other roles the change of the Object Name works fine.
What am I overlooking?

Hi ,
Please check that when you change property 'name' of the role and then click on save button you shud get a 'save successful ' kinda message.
If not then may be your role is locked by some other portal user id and thus not allowing you to change it. Please note that this will also not allow to change any property of the role, so you can test this by trying changing the other properties of the role.
If this is not the case, then compare the properties of two roles one whichis working fine and the one which is not.
Thanks,

Changing Object Names for Burst Output in Financial Reporting

I can't quite figure out how to say this so I can't even search for the proper terms to get any pertinent results. I apologize if this has been answered recently.
In FR Batch Scheduler, I am exporting the reports as PDF to a specified folder. I am bursting the report with a department, however, it does not like to save files with spaces. Instead, FR replaces any spaces in the Object name with a plus "+" sign. Is there a way to change this to a different delimiter in the .properties files? Not sure which one.
Thus:
Date is March 2nd, 2011 and Member name is "Physician Revenue"
Object Label:
<<Date(YYYYMMMDD)>>.<<MemberName()>>.IESUM
PDF Output becomes
2011Mar02.Physician+Revenue.IESUM.pdf
Desired FileName output
2011Mar02.Physician_Revenue.IESUM.pdf
Thanks
Eric

If this is the same issue I'm having, I've been working with Tech Support - they confirmed it as a bug the other day and the patch is done but it's not ready for us to have yet. They'll let me know when it's available for public use.
When bursting, the resulting PDFs have strange characters in the PDF name for many characters such as these that we use:
and probably "space", I'm not looking at it right now but yes this sounds like your issue too. Stay tuned.

[jpublisher] how to change object names

Hi all,
please, i really need your help to solve this one...
i'm working with jpublisher and it's working perfectly... but i need to change the objects name that are created by jpublisher. how can i do this?? have any idea???
thanks in advance

Hi,
As per you we assume that this object is master data object for text : 0PROJECT_TEXT
If you define as a Data target you need to load the data from PSA(Data source to Data target) , Here transfermations will come into the picture ( in BI 7.0)
if you are going to load the data in 3.5 flow , transfer rules will come into the picture.
If It is Update rules/ Transfermations try to make it active manually ..
1. Go to RSA1 >>> And find the Data Target >>> Double click on Update Rules
2. Click on Change button, then activate the Update rules.
If it is transfer rules , try make it active by using this program
in SE38 ; RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL >> Give the source system name >>>>> Info source name to activate the transfer rules as well as transfer structure.
It may help you
Regards.

Get last changed date by Program ID/Object type/Object name of a task

Hi to all.
I'm looking for a way to get last changed date of an object by task number(CR). Any SAP function or utility someone has??
For example if I have a task with the object list:
R3TR PROG ZSD_ORD_COND_P
R3TR TABL    ZCNDSLCTN
LIMU REPS ZSD_ORD_COND_CLS
R3TR TRAN   ZZDIS
R3TR VIEW   ZSD_VBAK_KONV
I need to get last changed date for each object.
Thanks,
Yuval Kaduri, Cellcom, Israel.
Edited by: yuval kaduri on Mar 2, 2008 2:59 PM

Hi Venu, thanks for the input.
In the table I don't have all changes made in objects that the CR is not released. I need to know all changed date of objects even if the CR is not released. There are few tables containing the date and time object last changed for the deferent types but I'm looking for a function or some utility someone wrote that gets the CR line info as - PgmID/Obj/Object name - and gives back last changed date and time.
Thanks,
Yuval Kaduri, Cellcom, Israel.

Published UPK files change Object Names from "Options" to "Guiliani says De

When we published our UPK files to our server, the Object Name of the captured object from whatever innocuous name such as "Options" or "Manufacturer" or "Driving Directions" to "Guiliana says Dems won't say 'Islamic Terrorist'" or in UPK ITSELF, even thought the screen is correct the Object Name in the developer UPK was changed to "Fred Thompson" which the developer did NOT do, and one object name was changed to Rasheed something, someone's name.
When we demo our simulations, it looks like the training team does this, but we do not. It happens after the sims are uploaded to our server.
What gives?

Great resource John T.

Changing object names during expdp or impdp

I'm curious to know if expdp or impdp is able to change object names during the process. What I mean by this is... can I export out procedures:
procedure1
procedure2
procedure3
Then import them like this:
test_procedure1
test_procedure2
test_procedure3
I'm not sure the expdp or impdp has that ability, but I could have missed it. I know how to remap a schema, but that only changes the schema name.

You can refer below link for example

Duplicate Object Name Error When Publishing Crystal Reports from BW to BOE

Hi,
We recently upgraded our systems (all client and server) to SP2.7 in order to solve a problem with saving Crystal Reports to BW. Now we are experiencing a new error when trying to publish a Crystal Report from BW to BOE (either all in one step from Crystal Reports application or directly from within BW).
Upon trying to publish a Crystal Report from BW to BOE, we get the following error:
"An error occurred while saving and / or publishing. The return code 1 was returned from the server. Logon to Crystal Enterprise failed. Unable to commit the changes to Enterprise. Reason: Failed to commit objects to server : Duplicate object name in the same folder."
We have repeated this issue numerous time with different reports, users and logon credentials and have verified that there are NOT any duplicate object names.
Additionally, in some cases, the report ultimately publishes to BOE, but with the above error interruption along the way.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Josh

Ingo,
Apologies for the delayed response. We've spent a few days poking around with this issue, and had even opened a customer message for it (13641).
In the end, it seems that the problem was somehow associated with the "Prepare this report for translation." flag in the "Save to BW Options" dialog box of Crystal Reports. If we try to Save & Publish with the Translation flag selected, we get the duplicate entry error. If we Save & Publish without the Translation flag selected, everything is fine.
There are still some details we need to look into, but for the time being it looks like we don't have an issue anymore(assuming we ever did) as we're not concerned with Translation capabilities.
If we come across the problem again, I'll post again.
Thanks,
Josh

How to hide object name in tray of pages

Hi everybody,
I want to hide the object name in the tray of a page.
I act as follows: open Page in VC --> Configure Page --> Look & Feel --> unselct "Show Object name in Tray"
I thought that is the right way, but every time I want to deploy, the option is true again.
Could anybody help me?

Hi Robert,
Unfortunately, evrytime you open the model, it shows default values for the fieds. The only field for which it shows the correct value in the dashboard is 'Show Help Option'. However, at runtime, it does reflect the changes you make. You can check that in PCD.
e.g. If you uncheck the checkbox for 'Show object name' and deploy the first time. The page should reflect the change on the Portal in PCD, however in the model shows the default value i.e. the checked checkbox. If you deploy it again, it won't change the value on the portal. It will still retain the value(unchecked,) on the portal. In order to change the value back to what it was (checked) originally, you have to uncehck the checkbox and check it again and then deploy. The values will change on the portal.
I don't know the reason behind this behaviour though.

Ajay

How to change or rename the logical system name T90CLNT090 IN BI 7

HI Expert's,
i am really digging for the solution of changing or renaming the logical system name technical name T90CLNT090.
in our company we are using ecc5.0 with bi 3.5 and ecc6 with bi 7. In BW 3.5 having a connection with R/3 and the technical name of the myself bw source system(logical system) is T90CLNT090.
In bi 7 also the logical system name is same as T90CLNT090. Because of the same system name(Logical name) it is not active in BI7 and also it's giving error when i am activating the DSO Object as Transfer structure prefix for source system T90CLNT090 is not defined.
because of this i am not able to create the source system between r/3 also.
so how to change this source system name for T90CLNT090.

Hi,
Pls follow this OSS note : 325525.
Note 325525 - Copying and renaming systems in a BW environment
Summary
Symptom WARNING: THIS NOTE HAS BEEN REPLACED. FOR MORE CURRENT AND MORE COMPREHENSIVE INFORMATION SEE NEW NOTE 886102.
You want to copy and or rename one or more systems (database or client copy). One or more of the systems is a BW system or is connected to a BW system.
Caution: This note only deals with problems that occur in the BW source system connections. Other problems that occur in the BW environment (indexes) are NOT dealt with. See URL http://www.service.sap.com/bw --> Services & Implementation --> System copy & Migration.
Other terms BW, source system, OLTP, database copy, client copy, system infrastructure, transport system, connections, RFC connection, trfc, transfer structure, IDoc, ALE customizing, logical system name, system changeability, renaming systems, system copy
Solution Several scenarios are possible in this environment. Find the scenario relevant to your situation below and execute the steps listed or read the note(s) specified:
Scenario 1) You do not want to copy a system but only want to rename one (changing a logical system name).
           Solution scenario 1): Execute Transaction BDLS both in the client to be renamed and in the connected BWs or BW source systems. To do this, see Notes 121163 and 369758.
           Check the RFC destinations in all connected BWs/BW source systems as described in Note 524554.
           Reactivate all partner agreements that carry the new logical system name after renaming.
Scenario 2) You want to copy the entire system infrastructure connected by the BW source system connections (that means the entire system group) by a database copy. SAP recommends this procedure for copying systems.
           Solution scenario 2):
If you want to rename one or more of the copied systems, then execute Transaction BDLS both in the client you wish to rename and in all the connected BW and BW source systems. See Note 121163.
                    Make sure that an RFC destination exists with the new logical name in every connected BW or BW source system.
                    Reactivate all partner agreements that carry the new logical system name after renaming.
Change the hosts in the appropriate RFC destinations so that they refer to the correct computer. For this, see Note 524554.
Scenario 3) You want to copy a single BW system of the group by database copy.
Scenario 3)a) You only want to exchange the hardware of your system but do not want to rename the system.
                     Solution scenario 3)a): You do not need to execute follow-up work regarding the system connections, except for adjusting the IP address in the RFC destinations of the connected system.
Scenario 3)b) You want to keep the original system of the copy so that you have two systems after copying.
                     Solution scenario 3)b): See Note 184754.
Scenario 4) You want to copy a single source system of the group by database copy.
Scenario 4)a) You only want to exchange the hardware of your system but do not want to rename the system.
                     Solution scenario 4)a): You do not need to execute follow-up work regarding the system connections, except for adjusting the IP address in the RFC destinations of the connected system.
Scenario 4)b) You want to keep the original system of the copy so that you have two systems after copying.
           Solution scenario 4)b): See Note 184322.
Scenario 5) You want to import a client copy in a source system.
           Solution scenario 5): See Note 325470.

Invalid DataStore object name error when running process chain after EHP1

Hello,
We recently upgraded our BW Dev platform to NW7.01 EHP1 SP6. I noticed that the layout for "Delete PSA Request" process in the Process Chain has changed after the upgrade. We can no longer specify the actual PSA table to delete eg, /BIC/B0001645. Instead we need to specify the Datasource name and the Source System.
Now after the upgrade when I run one of my process chains, it fails at "Delete PSA Request" step with error message "Invalid DataStore object name /BIC/B0001645: Reason: No valid entry in table RSTS". This datasource is based on the flat file source system and the PSA table for this Datasource is /BIC/B0001653.
Unfortunately the process chain is picking up an older PSA table for this datasource and there is no way for me to specify the current PSA table name after this change in layout with EHP1 upgrade. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue.
Many Thanks,
Al

Hi,
Please implement OSS 1345331.
If this does not help try the below steps:
1. Run the report 'RSAR_PSA_CLEANUP_DIRECTORY/_MS' in check mode for a
       particular PSA table for finding the inconsistencies.
2.   After that please analyze the logs and if there is any problems related to partition, you need to correct them using the report u2013
3. 'SAP_PSA_PARTNO_CORRECT' in repair mode for the
      PSA tables. Run the report again after this
4. 'RSR_PSA_CLEANUP_DIRECTORY/_MS' in check mode to
     double check that the invalid partitions are
     corrected.
     Once this is done you can execute the report
     'RSR_PSA_CLEANUP_DIRECTORY/_MS' in repair mode.

System setting does not allow changes to be made to object LSYS

Hi
Im trying to create the process chain in BW-Production System . Like im trying to delete the PSA data for one datasource in BI7.0 .
Im using the 'Delete requests from the PSA' process type in the process chain . When i try to give the datasource name and source system name in the variant of 'Delete requests from the PSA' process type and save them , then it is saying that
System setting does not allow changes to be made to object LSYS
Why it is saying like that . But i can able to include the other process types in the process chain .
regards
mohammed

Dear Mohammed,
Since you are trying to create process chain in production system.
Normally production system wont be open for development at any time. Why the system settings does not allow changes was, your production is not modifiable state.
Check the settings in SE06. system would be non-modifiable for sure.
in SCC4, settings ->"changes to the cross customizing objects would be not allowed"
These two settings/configurations would not allow any development or changes or edit or create in production.
Please check with your basis folks and proceed further.
Hope this would help you more in understanding

File communication channel issue : object name too long

My requirement is to place the successful files in folder and un-successful files in one folder after processing.
we used parameterized mapping to achieve this requirement.
I'm facing below issues, please help me to resolve.
" An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 501 Unexpected reply codeSpecified object name too long, limit is 10 characters: $Filepath_Su.'. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
As per my understanding it is not taking the path specified,because of length issue.
Please send me your valuable inputs and help me.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,
By loking ur error description, it's quite evident that it's a FTP sever issue?
Sometime on FTP server, there is a check which is enabled to limit the length of file names, and i think the same has been recently implemented on ur FTP server. So instead of changing ur config, check with ur FTP admin.
Tested the same after tweaking existing FTP server settings.
Thanks
