Constant selection and Reusability

Hi Gurus,
In BI 7.0,I am facing following problem.
1.I am using characteristic say ZSITE as constant selection and we use the data in a particular report.
In Other report we are using ZSITE and expected to see different data but we are getting constant selection data.
Is there any way that characteristics can be used differently in different reports?If so can anybody give me some idea please.

Hi Nrupal
you are talking abt constant selection in transformation/UR/TR or in Bex. If it is hard coded constant in Back-end then the same value will be used in all query as it is attribute.
if you are putting constant selection in query then i guess it shouldn't be a problem because you define the constant selection in KF property locally in query designer.
Thanks

  • Constant selection and authorizations

    Hi,
    I've made a query for displaying some selected figures for our company's health and safety managers.
    The query is displayed with 0DF_FORCE in the rows as a hierachy and in addition to needing a role for displaying the query at all, the users are restricted to "their" part of the hierarchy using an exit variable with lookup in a nav-attribute to 0DF_FORCE. This all works fine, the problem is that I want to use the number of workdays in a given month for sickleave % calculations. I tried making a formula variable exit for this that will return the number of workdays in an variable intervall given at query start. This works, but I'm then not able to drill the query to spesific months, since the formula variable does not respond to calmonth.
    Alternativly I tried putting the number of workdays into a DSO and linking to calmonth there. That solves the navigation, but now I have a problem with constant selection. I need the number of workdays for every force element in 0DF_FORCE. Since the DSO does not contain this characteristic, it needs constant selection '#' on 0DF_FORCE within the restricted keyfigure for workdays. And here's the catch, the intended users do not have and cannot have authorization for force element '#'.
    I would appriciate any leads on developing my current logic, or a new tack for displaying number of workdays pr month without conflicting with said authorization limitations.

    SAP haveth in their glory created 0numwday as an attribute to 0calmonth as of jan '08. That they haven't documented it at all, did that it took some time to discover, but that's bygones. What it means is that I can make a replacement path variable on 0calmonth instead of my keyfigure and avoid the whole issue. Hurrah!

  • Constant Selections and Exception Aggregation

    Hi,
    Can You please tell me
    1) what is constant selections?
    2) what is Exception Aggregations?
    Thanks and Regards.
    Naresh.

    Hi,
    example for the use of standard aggregation and exception aggregation for a key figure is a key figure for the non-cumulative value
    with non-cumulative values such as warehouse stock, you want to total up the warehouse stock for various articles and warehouses (standard aggregation), but for the month you want to determine the ending inventory (LAST aggregation) (exception aggregation in regard to the time characteristic Calendar Month)

  • Constant selection issue

    Hi all,
    I have a request to create a query on a multiprovider and show characteristics that are only  in one of the 2 basic cubes as in the example:
    in cube a, I have the following data:
    Material    Sold-to  Bill_Number Qty
    A1415R   100123   600019      100
    in cube b, I have the following data:
    Sold-to    User    Bill_Number Amount
    100123   AK523  600019      50
    I want to see characteristics from the 2 basic cubes in the query like this, using as selection criteria, the material:
    Material    Sold-to  User       Bill_Number Qty  Amount
    A1415R   100123   AK523   600019      100   50
    I have tried with constant selection on characteristic 0INFOPROV and it works if I remove from drill down the characteristic "user", but whenever I drill down on user, the query shows all possible users in cube B:
    Material Sold-to  User    Bill_Number Qty  Amount
    A1415R   100123   AK523   600019      100   50
                      EM258   600019      100
                      MP296   600019      100
                      LY212   600019      100
                      JK688   600019      100
                      DH693   600019      100
    In the query I select Qty from cube A and characteristic 0INFOPROV as "constant selection" and also "display values not posted"
    for Amount, I select characteristic 0INFOPROV as "constant selection".
    Is there anyway to solve this? what am I doing wrong?
    Any input will be highly appreciate it.

    Hi Meric,
    thanks for your answer but it doesn´t work
    It shows all data from cube that has no material and 2 lines from the cube with materials ( the 2 lines from the material selected in the screen).

  • No values when using key figure with constant selection?

    Hi experts,
    I have built a Webi on top of a universe that is sitting on top of a Bex query.
    In my Bex query I have a bunch of key figures defined that are restricted on time and category.
    This Webi works fine.
    Then I added an additional key figure that required a constant selection on time and on category.
    When I first added this to my Webi report it was fine. But once I refreshed my report showed no values.
    The report still seems to know that it is meant to retrieve values because it is bringing back the correct records - just no values. (ie I am showing time in my columns and it's showing the correct periods that are meant to have data)
    I refreshed a number of times and sometimes it would bring "#TOREFRESH" in some cells but once I refreshed again the cells are blank. Sometimes it would even show me a value in a couple of cells and others would show the "#TOREFRESH"
    I went back to my Bex query and removed the key figure with constant selection and the report is working again?
    Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there a way to make this work?
    Thank you!
    Sabine

    #TOREFRESH error message appears for smart measures (measure object with aggregation type Database Delegated) when the context for the measure is changed. Refreshing data will solve the issue. Database delegated measures are used for some non-additive aggregation which webi is not able to handle properly. If you are not using such aggregation, then tou can change the aggregation type to something other than database delegated to avoid #TOREFRESH.

  • Constant Select Problem

    Hi, all.
    In our project we faced with problem. We have global filter on query (like Char = 1), in query we use key figure what have restriction like Char = # and we select Constant Selection option on this restriction. But when we start query in Analyzer we don't get any data. Maybe I don't good understand concept of constant selection or maybe it is any bag. Can anybody explain what I can do with this problem.
    Regards, Fanil.

    Hi, AL.
    I have BEx Query on Multiprovider. In this query I have global filters like as
    INVERSION = INVERSION_I_E - Manual Input Variable(User Cannot input # value)
    Also I have one Restricted Key Figures that restricte like
    1st KF from Infocube 1
    INVERSION = INVERSION_I_E
    2nd KF from Infocube 2
    INVERSION = # (Empty).
    In second KF I select option "Constant Selection" and expected that they show any data, but it doesn't show anything.

  • Provider Speicifc Properties on MultiCube and constant Selection in Query

    Hi Experts
    I are using BI 7.0, just upgraded to SP24 and having an issue with a MultiPrvider. All of this worked great before the upgrade. Here are the symptoms I am experiencing.  This MultiCube has 2 InfoObjects where "Provider-Specific Properties" are set with a constant value.
    1) If I display data on MultiCube I can only get consistent results if I chose for "Field Selection for Output" and select All SID fields. If I don't get any results if SID fields are not selected for display.
    2) Query on on MultiCube has a Res. Key Fig. using constant selection on Infoprovider plus other Infoobjects.  When I execute I get a dump with errors Brain 222 ( referencing the 2 objects that are set as constant on MultiCube, as well as Brain 635 .  I have researched both have not yet found anything helpful.  Query does execute if I take off the constant select on Infoprovider but then don't get results I want.
    I have tried to re-activate MultiCube. I got warnings on CMP error and inconsistency and messages R7I 114, R7I 127 but activation was successful.
    I would be very grateful for any suggestions.
    Thanks so much.

    Can you try log out and re-login??
    As well when you display DATA, first of all
    1. it ask you select necessary field before you go for FIELD OUTPUR FOR SELECTION
    2. Overthere in SELECTION top menu, SELECT  the second SELECTION menu, and select option "SELECT CHARACTERISTICS" which is the first one.
    3. THen enter
    4. now you go to the screen for FIELD OUTPUT FOR SELECTION, in that Select 4th option "SELECT ALL CHARACTERISTICS"
    and then execute..
    just give a try..
    not sure how far it helps..
    May i know the restriction which stops you running the query..?
    try the constant selection on only one object and try...

  • Constant Selection in BEx Query Designer on BI7

    Hi guys
    According to this blog <a href="/people/prakash.darji/blog/2006/09/19/the-hidden-secret-of-constant-selection Selection</a>, we can create constant selection on both Characteristics and Key figures. I understand how to do it with restricted key figures.
    Can anyone give me a step by step guide on how to create constant selection for a Characteristic in BEx Query Designer on BI7. I can't find options for 'constant selection'
    Or is this the same thing when you include or exclude values?

    Thanks Krishna
    I am actually using a Multiprovider for my queries but business requirements mean I need to create joins.
    I am trying to avoid Infosets and I believe another way is to use the Constant Selection feature in Query Designer.
    Going back to my previous posting, I know how this is done with a restricted KF but I don't know how when it comes to characteristics.
    Can anyone help?

  • What is the difference between select and select via function normal/rfc

    what is better ?

    Hi,
    It depends on yr reqmt.
    Incase of fewer records, SELECT is better because of the foll reasons.
    1) it hits dbtab only once for few records
    2) using fm, it's a reusable code, which will result in so many other lines of code are also a part of it.
    If you're not sure of the number of records even tentatively, use GET RUNTIME statement to find the execution time of both these SELECT and FMs and go accordingly.
    Reward if found helpful.
    Thanks,

  • Constant Selection on MultiProvider is not working properly

    Hi All,
    We have a MP based on 2 DSOs, say DSO1 & DSO2.
    DSO1: Char 1, Char 2, Char 3 and KF1
    DSO2: Char 1, Char 2, Char 4 and KF2.
    Now, I am creating a query by using constant selection. I have kept all chars in Rows pane and 2 KF in Columns pane. I have restricted KF1 with char 4 and KF2 with char 3 by putting constant selection accordinlgy... However,  still I am getting 2 rows of display as below...
    char1     char   2    cahr 3      char 4          kf1             kf2
    A           B              C             #                 10              -----
    A           B              #             D                 ----              10
    Could any one pls suggest how to display in  single record... Your help is highly appreciable.
    Best Regards
    Venkat...

    Thank you Anshu for your suggestion.
    Here, I wrongly mentioned the KF details. Both the KFs are existed in both DSO1 & DSO2. The only thing is DSO1 data is coming from ECC(R/3) and DSO2 data is coming from CRM. Now, I want to show the all chars w.r.t infoprovider wise KF vaues in a single row. Shall we achieve it by constant selection approach? Could you suggest any work around please...

  • Constant selection in query designer

    hi guys
    please explain abut
    constant selection in query designer 7.o

    Hi,
    For ex if you had designed a MP using the IC's and  DSO's in which if all the fields are not in common with both the info provides used in the MP you will get the results in 2 rows and the values for the ones which are not in common will be displayed as # in the results.
    This can be the case in Infosets as well.
    to over come this we use "constant selection"
    Check the below link which explain the constant selection with an example.

  • Constant selection in IP planning layout

    Hi everyone,
    I have a budget planning layout where I'd like to give the user the opportunity to display various planning versions side-by-side. I also want to include the previous year figures (pry).
    Since reference data might not exist at the time of displaying the layout, I have preselected 0VERSION and set its access type to "Master data". In the colums, I have a structure for the pry and the budget values. Underneath, there is a drilldown on 0VERSION.
    Since there isn't really a planning version for pry figures, I wanted to restrict the pry column to 0VERSION=# and set a constant selection. This way I was hoping to prevent the drilldown of the preselected versions for the pry column, but it's displaying everything I preselected. # is not even displayed.
    Is there a way around this?
    Thanks and regards,

  • Error with Constant Selection on Multiprovider

    Hi All,
    I have a MP, based on 1 IC and 2 DSOs.
    I have created a report like: KPI NO, KPI Decription on rows pane and KPI value in KF pane.
    KPI NO is available in all 3 infopro mentioned above.  KPI description is available only in one DSO. I have restricted the KF (KPI value) by applying constant selection on KPI description. Hopefully this should work for my case. Unfortunately, its not working. Report is displaying only KPI No,  KPI Descrp and KPI value in single col, thats fine. But here, KPI desc is displaying as "Not assigned" instead of the data display what is there in the target. Not able to figure out the cause. Could any one pls suggest what went wrong here (query creation/MP creation).
    Note: KPI desc is a text bearing char InfoObject and this DSO contains only Key fileds.
    Best Regards
    Venkat...

    In Rows:
    KPI No which is present in all three providers - IC, DSO1 & DSO2.
    KPI description - only present in DSO1.
    In Col:
    KPI Value - present in only IC.
    I have restricted this KF with KPI description and applied constant selection to this.
    My report lay should come like as below.
    KPI NO         KPI Descrption           KPI Value
    1                  Invoices pending         25000
    2                  payment over due        15000
    3                  error rate                       2.12
    Unfortunately, the description is not come but its displaying as "not assigned". MP is correct.
