Conversion of characteristic values before displaying in Bex Analyzer

Dear all,
does anybody know whether it's possible to get influence on the manner in which a characteristic is embedded into an BEx Analyzer sheet (may be via user exit, function module exits or something else) .
In our project we have characteristics (describing production parameters) with numeric values which can't be used successfully with EXCEL AutoFilter functions because they are strings in EXCEL. Due to our data warehaouse design koncept it is not all right for us to store these values as key figures. So we are searching for methods to convert these string values into numeric values before we give them into the EXCEL sheet.
Lot of thanks for you in advance!
Dorothea Gebauer.

High Leo Gillian,
at first thank you very much for your answer. Unfortunately your information is not practicable for us. There are hundreds of characteristics, in the future there may be mor than two thousend, which have to be converted before they are embedded into the sheets. Therefore we need an automatically done conversion.
with best regards Dorothea Gebauer

  • Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs. Load Very slow

    Hi Experts,
                     We have a slow load issue when loading from a Write-Optimized DSO into an InfoCube. 8 millon recs in 10 hours.
    We check the start, end, and rules routines and every is ok but for all the package the load was very slow in the Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs.
    Can any help me with this?
    Thanks a lot,
    Alejandro

    Hi,
    It is because the SIDs Generation upon Activation flag is unchecked at DSO level .
    One recommendation will be to switch on the property of the DSO SIDs Generation upon Activation flag .
    Are there any secondary indexes also in DSO ?
    You can try deleting them also during loading the data from DSO to cube .
    Also load your master data first and activate it before loading it to cube.
    Thanks,

  • Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs is taking long time

    Hi Experts,
        Cube load is taking more than 7 hrs to complete for 6 million records. Max time is at Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs. Cube consists of 500 fields. Load is from DSO to Cube. DSO has 10 fileds with no SID flag check for activation. Remaining fields in the CUBE are pouplated looking in to other DSO's. Start and End routines are executing very fast. How to fasten Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs step.  I need to load 15 million records daily as part of delta. any suggestions.
    Thanks

  • Performance - Conversion of characteristic values to SID

    Greetings:
    Yesterday I load 556.000 record into an infocube.
    No transformations of any kind. Direct assign for every infoobject. Very simple
    It lasted 1 h 30m to complete the loading.
    It started loading  7 datapackage of 50.000 records each.
    I realized that 3 of those datapackage (#2, #4 and #7) lasted from 41:47min to 41:59min in the "Conversion of characteristic values to SID" task. The other 5 lasted ... seconds.
    Any idea of that could be going on during this conversion?
    I don't understant why some datapackages last so long and other don't.
    Does anybody has any idea about this?
    Thanks in regards.
    Guillermo

    Hi Daniel,
    The SID generation is based upon the Dimension Table and Master data.
    If you see the dimension table can be build with different types like:
    one to many
    many to one
    many to many
    one to one
    So, if the dimension's for that datapacket data is many to many then it has to get all the relations and then it has to assign an SID.
    If it is one to one then there will be no more work to be done by the system to assign the SID's
    Hope you understood the back-end process.
    With Regards,
    Ravi Kanth.

  • Slow dataload into Infocube- Conversion of Characteristic values to SIDs

    Hi All,
    we are facing a slow delta load issue when loading from a DSO into an InfoCube ( approx 150,000 recs).
    After checking the monitor found that
    - The Conversion of Characteristic values to SIDs is taking time
    - The Start Routine time is real quick ( in secs)
    The underlying DSO is hugh and there is no SIDs Generation upon Activation flag set for it
    Master data is loaded first and than we are loading the transaction data.
    i've tried refreshing the stats of the Cube, Reduce the size of the data package,
    Deletion of Indexes than Loading and recreation of Indexes, no joy at all.
    Any comments and recommendations are much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Natalie

    Hi Natalie,
    The problem for your slow delta load from DSO to cube is because the SIDs Generation upon Activation flag is unchecked at DSO level .
    Becasue of which your activation is faster but your loading from DSO to cube will be slower as you only mentioned that SIDs are being generated .
    One recommendation will be to switch on the property of the DSO SIDs Generation upon Activation flag .
    Are there any secondary indexes also in DSO ?
    You can try deleting them also during loading the data from DSO to cube .
    I guess your change log table is also huge in this case . If possible we can think of deleting the log table also . Then for the new records let it get filled .
    Hope the above reply was helpful.

  • Variable exit populates value in RSRT And bex analyzer but not on web

    Hi everyone
    I am trying to populate my end date with the number of days, and it gives me the right result everytime I execute the query in RSRT or when I go through the BeX analyzer in BI 7. So when I put 30 days, my end date automatically gets populated with the range todays date to todays date + 30 days.
    But when I execute the same query through the query designer on the web, it doesnt get populated with the right value. and just gets populated with the range : todays date to todays date.
    Please let me know, how to correct this value, I think the problem is how the web template has been defined. Could you please let me know, how to correct the error.
    will surely reward points for the correct answer.
    thanks
    amit

    Hi Amit !!
    Maybe you should try to populate a variable on a global routine. Its works to us with for example a variable for a year to planificate and version. !!
    Hope this helps !

  • Chinese characters not displayed in Bex Analyzer

    Chinese characters in a BI report display fine in Bex Web, but not in Bex Analyzer (Excel).  Not sure if this is a NW2004s issue, or just an excel config issue. Is this a known issue?

    The problem is fonts. Are you setting a specific font for your dialog? If not, this is a JRE bug. Regardless, you can display the Chinese if you set the font for the dialog using a font that you know contains Chinese glyphs.

  • Group characteristic values and display text

    Hello,
    I would like to group some characteristics into a new variable. For this I've used structures without any problem. Now I would like to display the characteristic texts I've grouped.
    For exemple I would like:
    Group1...Text1
    .............Text2
    .............Text3
    Group2...Text4
    .............Text5
    When I add into my row selection texts I get as results a repetition of all texts inside all groups, even if I don't have any value:
    Group1...Text1
    .............Text2
    .............Text3
    .............Text4
    .............Text5
    Group2...Text1
    .............Text2
    .............Text3
    .............Text4
    .............Text5
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks,
    Benoit

    Hi, Have you done Zero suppress, it will automatically take care of this.
    Now logic behind why query behave like this.
    Here you have created a structure on Text , so Structure is Fix Component of Query. Now while you put Group Before this, it means you are drill down query on Groups, at that time after every group, Fixed structure will repeat. Just think How query knows which part of structure is attached with which group?

  • Characteristic values not displayed in APO Product

    Hi friends,
    I CIFed Materials with characteristics and class as 300 (variant) to APO-SNP where it gets converted to class 400 (CDP). The material gets CIFed but when I go to the Classification tab of Product master (/SAPAPO/MAT1), and hit Further Classes button, the Characteristics value descriptions appear but with no values assigned to it.
    Have any one experienced this before or anyone could help me on this. Thanks in advance for your help.
    Sam

    Hello Friends,
    My problem is similar to Sam's. The difference is that when I hit Further Classes button, it appears a messagem saying there are no assignements for class type 300, only for class type 400. Any idea of what is the cause?
    Thank you!

  • Roles not displayed in BEx Analyzer for NW2004s

    We are evaluating a technical upgrade only from BW 3.5 to Netweaver2004s.  Under this plan, the 3.5 security will not be migrated to 7.0. We are using SAPGui Frontend 6.40 for BI. The existing BW 3.5 roles are not display in the Role Menu of SAP NetWeaver BEx.
    Any ideas on this?
    Isbell

    Got the following response from SAP and this resolved the issue
    please add the parameter
    DELETE_DOUBLE_TCODES with PATH = 'NO'
    into the table: ssm_cust (via tx: se16)
    The settings in SSM_CUST defines a compress mechanism for the user menu
    known as "Redundancy avoidance" and described in notes 357877 and 357693
    Redundancy avoidance deletes easy access menu entries for doubled
    transaction codes whenever SSM_CUST contains
    1. an entry CONDENSE_MENU with PATH = 'YES' and
    2. either an entry DELETE_DOUBLE_TCODE with PATH = 'YES' or no entry
    DELETE_DOUBLE_TCODES, at all.
    If you don't want doubled transaction codes to be deleted, then simply
    add an entry DELETE_DOUBLE_TCODES with PATH = 'NO' into table SSM_CUST.

  • How to sort the characteristic values in layout

    Hello,
    I wont to use a layout with key figs in data columns and two characteristics in lead columns. The problem is that the sorting of first characteristic values is displayed in alphabetical order. How can I change the order to another exact defined combinations for characteristic values?
    I read the thread with the same problem (see below the link), but the solutions are not satisfacroty.
    Has anyone another idee?
    Thanks for any help!
    Larissa Bräutigam

    Hi Larissa;
    I had the same problem and they propose this:
    Attributesu0092 order that the system displays in the Planning Layout
    That was not the solution presented to the customer. Because of system performance, a programmer was there and created a VBA code. But I wasn't there so I don't have the code.

  • Running queries with many lines on bex analyzer

    Dear all,
    When i want to list the details of my customers for example 100.000 lines, bex gives me an error message saying internal error, etc, and excel stucks.
    Is there any chance, i can run query and get the list of report to excel somewhere in my computer instead of displaying in bex analyzer?
    Thanks

    Hi  John,
    You have following possibilities:
    1. Try to limit data portion via restricting the output on report's selection screen. Make several runs. Save data externally and combine it into one file.
    2. Try to run your query in MS Excel 2007.
    3.  You can run BEx report on BW back end via small ABAP custom program that will run your BW report and store it to file. This involves effort to create such a report.
