Characteristic texts from Query in APD

Hello Comiunity,
In BI 7.0 Iu2019ve created an Query. This Query shows (long) texts for characteristic. When I use the Query in BEx Web Analyzer and BEx Analyzer these texts are displayed correctly.
Now I have to use the Query as a source in an analysis process in the APD. Result of this analysis process is a CSV file. It seems like the APD doesnu2019t work with the texts for the characteristic. In the result CSV file only the keys of the charactersisics are show u2013 not the texts.
How can I use characteristics texts in APD? At moment I join the text tables of the characteristics. But is there a more elegant solution for this problem?
Kind Regards,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
unfortunately not. APD does only consider the keys (internal presentation) and ignores all kinds of query output properties (display like text, scaling key figures etc.).
Apparantly, you want to persist the query result in a way which is close to the Bex output, right? I would guess that APD is not suitable for that.
Cheers!
Thomas

Refresh characteristic texts in query result without logoff in Bex 7.0

Dear Experts,
I'm using a query in BEx 7.0 and switched off all caching parameters in RSRT. For instantly reloading values from Cube/DSO this is working fine.
Some of my characteristics are shown as key + text in query result. Unfortulately these texts are not updated during the query reloads. I do not want the user to logoff / logon the report to get the updated texts.
Interestingly, after a refresh the texts for those characteristics are updated immediately for all filter items, but not in the result area.
Could you give me a hint, how I will be able to refresh those characteristic texts as same as the values in the infoprovider? E.g. using VBA makros or by customizing of specific workbook settings?
Thanks for your help!
Kind regards,
Tim

Hi,
what have you achieved so far concerning this.
My post from today was also going in this topic.
In Bex update after attribute change run
The setting of this paramter I mentioned there could maybe help in your case.
   transaction "RS_FRONTEND_INIT" add the parameter "ANA_ENHANCE_REFRESH" with value "X"
   o Open the analyzer and connect to system to open WB
   o Click on the refresh button
   o New functionallity "Full Refresh Of Active Queries" is now available.

How can I remove ASCII text from a field when I use it in a query

How can I remove ASCII text from a field when I use it in a query?
I am running a select statement on a table that appears to have ASCII text in some of the fields. If I use these fields in the where statement like the code below nothing returns:
SELECT FIELD1 FROM TABLE1 WHERE FIELD1 IS NULL
But the field looks empty if I do a straight select without the where clause. Additionally, one of the fields has text but appears to be padded out with ASCII text, which I need to strip out before I can use this field in a where or join statement. I have tried using a trim, ltrim, rtrim, to_char, nvl, decode and nothing works. When I use excel to run the same query it looks as if these ASCII fields are boxes.
I have asked our DBA team to see what they can do to prevent these from going into the table, but in the mean time I still need to run this report.
Do you have any suggestions?

Can you provide an example? I've been trying (for
example) "select translate(' test one', ascii(' '),
'X') from dual" with no luck.
Thank you.To replace space, you should query like this:
select translate(' test one', chr(32), 'X') from dual instead of select translate(' test one', ascii(' '), 'X') from dual Thanks,

Use APD to fetch data from Query's Structure

Hi,
i have created a query , with a fixed structure in the Row area and two keyfigures.
I have this query on DSO.
i want to store the same query output to one table.
How can i achive this?
I think to use the APD, but as i have fix structure in query , APD is not the solution . correct me if i am worng.
Please suggest.

Hi SVU123,
Currently I am trying to load data into ODS only. But I want to avoid this path. I can always extract data out of the ODS to Flat File through Open Hub, but that will require twice the time to extract data.
First from Query to ODS and second from ODS to Flat File through open hub.
Basically, I want to automate this process and that is why I don't want to opt the path for RSCRM_BAPI t-code.

How to pull the text for InfoObject in APD

Hi All,
I have a requirement where in I have to combine the data from 2 InfoObjects using an APD based on some conditions.
I need to bring in the text for these infoObjects and there attributes too.
The proposed solution from my side for pulling the text is
u2022 Getting the text from the text table u2013 this is working fine but the performance is not good.
u2022 Making a query above the object and taking the output as the APD input. Now, in the query , I have selected the display option u2018key and textu2019 but when I am using this query as input for the APD, I am not getting the text.
Please let me know how to get the text using the query output and/ or are there any other approach to get the text of an infoObject.
Thanks & Regards
Abhi

Hi,
It is possible to read the text tables of the infobject, for eg In material you can use table /BI0/TMATERIAL
You have to select a Datasource as the 'Database table and use /BI0/TMATERIAL as one of the underlying tables and then choose another datasource with /BI0/MMATERIAL as the underlying table.
Now that you have all the data that is needed you can use the join to connect the above two datasources .Select the join condition (material in this case) and the fields that you would like to be have to the next level from the individual tables that you have selected earlier.
I guess if you work in this way you might get the results that you are looking forward quite easily without writting code.
Let me know if it helps.

How to display a Column Header for the characteristic Text column

Hi All
Our users want me to provide for a column header for the characteristic text.
Here is what I mean
I am reporting 0plant in the rows as key and Text. In the column on Plant Key the column header says Plant but there is no column header for the plant text.
Eq:
Plant                                                        Amount
IE00         Initiator Plant                               244
IE01         Initiator Plant NJ                          890
Our users in the plant text column want a dummy column header to be displayed. SInce they download the data from the BW report to Excel and use pivot reporting. How can I introduce a column header for the texts.
Thanks
Karen

Hi Karen,
I am not sure if this is possible, although Users can ask anything :).
In Planning we used to predefine cell headings via Macros and creating dummy cells in between. I am not sure if a similar scenario can work here.
By default this is not possible in Reports. In BEx workbooks, you could probably try with Macros.
Another easy option is to bring the data in the Cube as another field or create a nav. attribute in the master for text and use it as a nav. attr. in the Cube and put it in your Query row alongside.

How to get a subset of text from a varchar2 field

Hello. I am trying to select a subset of text from a varchar2 field. This is login information from dba_audit_trail view. Here's an example of the field (comment_text from dba_audit_trail):
Authenticated by: DIRECTORY PASSWORD;EXTERNAL NAME: cn=orcladmin,cn=Users,dc=idacorp,dc=local; Client address: (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=555.555.555.555)(PORT=99999))
I am trying to just select the "orcladmin" text - i.e. everything after the first "=" up to the first ","
I can get everything after the first "=" with this:
select substr(comment_text, instr(comment_text, '=') + 1) from dba_audit_trail
... but I don't know how to stop at the first ","
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
Here's one way to do it:
WITH got_pos    AS
    SELECT comment_text    -- and whatever other columns you need
    ,       INSTR (cooment_text, '=')   AS equal_pos
    ,       INSTR (cooment_text, ',')   AS comma_pos
    FROM    dba_auit_trail
    WHERE   ...             -- any filtering goes here
SELECT SUBSTR ( comment_text
               , equal_pos + 1
               , comma_pos - (equal_pos + 1)
               )   AS first_cn
FROM    got_pos
You could do it without a sub-query; you'd just have to do the exact same INSTR 2 times, where I used equal_pos 2 times.
You could also get the results you want using regular expressions, such as:
SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR ( comment_text
                      , '=([^,]*),'
                      , 1
                      , 1
                      , NULL
                      , 1
                      )      AS first_cn
FROM    dba_audit_trail
Although this uses less code, it's slower than using INSTR and SUBSTR .

Characteristic issue in Query

Hi:
I have a question regarding a query. I have a multicube created from the Sales Overview cube and a cube which holds plan data.
I have a a charactrisitcs 0CUST_SALES__0CUST_GROUP (master data) in Identification checked for the both cubes.
When I run a query created on this cube for sales wty, The value shows up correctly. But when I drill down by 0CUST_SALES__0CUST_GROUP, the characteristic value is Not assigned.
I checked 0CUST_SALES and I have the value for the field 0CUST_SALES__0CUST_GROUP. Why system shows #- not assigned when I drill down by this particular characteristic?

Hi Sunil,
Do you have any other characteristic in the query rows , or any other characteristic restricted in the query that is from only one basic Cube?
Also check by running reports if you have data in Basic cubes by 0CUST_SALES__0CUST_GROUP .
Vijay.

One approach is to download Htmlparser from sourceforge
http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net/ and write the rules to match title, abstract etc.
Another approach is to write your own parser that extract only title, abstract etc.
1. tokenize the html file. --> convert html into tokens (tag and value)
2. write a simple parser to extract certain information
find out about the pattern of text you want to extract. For instance "<class "abstract">.
then writing a rule for extracting abstract such as
if (tag is abstract ) then extract abstract text
apply the same concept for other tags
Attached is the sample parser that was used to extract title and abstract from acm html files. Please modify to include keyword and other fields.
good luck

HOW TO TRANSPORT THE STANDARD TEXT FROM ONE SERVER TO ANOTHER?

After creating the standard text in SO10 transaction
it will not ask for any transport request no while saving ,
i want to transport the standard text from development to test server.
how can we do that?

Hi Riaz,
To transport a Standard Text through a transport request , you need to attach the standard text through the transaction RSTXTRAN.
After executing the report RSTXTRAN , you can enter first the task name then the Object as TEXT , then the name of the standard text , ID as ST, then the language as EN or something else .then execute.
you cannot attach a standard text to an unassigned task.Firat you have to either activate a smartform or a script with that task then only you have to attach a standard text.
I think your query is almost answered .
Reward if you please.
Thanks & regards,
Ram

Oracle Text contain query limit with 9i

The Oracle Text contain query is defined as this:
CONTAINS(

open m_cursor for p_statement using p_var;
Thanks very much,
Kevin

The limit is definitely 4000 characters in 9i and the 10g documentation shows no change in the calling spec for that parameter.

Display select list from query on manual tabular form

Hello,
I'm trying to display a select list from query on a manual tabular form. I'm using a collection to store the data. I can't seem to get the query to work. I can display the item as a text item. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Elizabeth.
SELECT
-- Notice how I'm keeping the idx value the same as the column value in the collection. This helps to keep things organized
-- I also apply an id to each entry
-- I append the error value to the empname and sal
-- The Seq_id. Usefull when hiding rows (for delete) and then submitting from
apex_item.hidden(1,x.seq_id, null, x.seq_id || '_seq_id') ||
-- The Primary Key of the column
apex_item.hidden(2, x.ceah_people_id, null, x.seq_id || '_ceah_people_id') || x.ceah_people_id ceah_people_id,
-- Employee Name
case when x.seq_id = -1
then
apex_item.select_list_from_query (3,
NULL,
'select distinct language_name d, '
|| 'language_id r from foreign_language',
'style="width:170px" ' ,
'YES',
'0',
'- Select Language -',
'x.seq_id_' || LPAD (9900 + LEVEL, 4, '0'),
NULL,
'NO'
else
apex_item.text (3,(select language_name from foreign_language where x.language_id = foreign_language.language_id),
80,
100,
'style="width:170px" readonly="readonly"',
'f32_' || LPAD (ROWNUM, 4, '0')
end
|| err.language_id language_id,
/* apex_item.text(3,x.language_id,null, null, null, x.seq_id || '_language_id') || err.language_id language_id,
-- Employee Salary
apex_item.text(4,x.proficiency, null, null, null, x.seq_id || '_proficiency') || err.proficiency ||
-- Store the sql action type as well.
apex_item.hidden(50,x.sql_action_typ, null, x.seq_id || '_sql_action_typ_id') proficiency,
-- Last but not least the row error
err.row_error
FROM (SELECT ac.c001 seq_id,
ac.c002 ceah_people_id,

WHERE x.seq_id = err.seq_id(+)

I got so frustrated I started over. I'm following the how to create a manual form.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/tabular_form.html#MANUAL
The problem I'm now having is even though I display items as hidden, there is a column holder on the report for them. If I go into the report attributes and toggle the show attribute off I cannot reference an items value in my logic. I used /&nbsp/ for the column heading but I still get the little sort arrow where the column heading should be. I tried to toggle the sort attribute off but the sort arrow still shows up. How can I use the apex_item.hidden and not get a place holder for the column on a report? Thanks, Elizabeth
Here is the code I'm using to generate the report:
select x.ceah_people_lang_id,
x.language_id,
x.proficiency,
x.ceah_people_id
from (
select apex_item.hidden(1,ceah_people_lang_id) ceah_people_lang_id,
apex_item.select_list_from_query(2,language_id,'select language_name, language_id from foreign_language') language_id,
apex_item.select_list_from_query(3,proficiency,'select name, id from proficiency') proficiency,
apex_item.hidden(4,ceah_people_id) ceah_people_id
from ceah_people_language where ceah_people_language.ceah_people_id = :P152_person_id
union all
select apex_item.hidden(1,null) ceah_people_lang_id,
apex_item.select_list_from_query(2,null,'select language_name, language_id from foreign_language') language_id,
apex_item.select_list_from_query(3,null,'select name, id from proficiency') proficiency,
apex_item.hidden(4,null) ceah_people_id
from dual) x
