Direct PO approvals.....query

Hi,
The requirement is not to use purchase requisition at all but to use purchase order directly.This needs to be linked to a workflow.
Also the approvals are required for PO's directly and not PR's.
In terms of the customzing, what changes are needed, also to override the settings for not using PR at all but only POs for approval, which user exit needs to be written, if at all.
In summary, workflow + PO without PR, how can this be done...Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Shewta,
Thanks, but I am a starter in workflow, I need to explore the standard workflow functionality for PO approval, startting from the number you mentioned, any steps on how to do this would be helpful.Thanks.

Hierarchy Performance in BO 4.0 direct to Bex query

Hi
We are using BO 4.0 using BICS connection.
Webi report is connected directly to BEx query.
We are getting perforance when selecting Hierarchy in new BO 4.0 environment.
In what way we can reduce this performance.
The report is taking around 30 minutes and some time time out.
Is this product issue

Gaurav Mang

Hi,
1. you can "suppress unassigned nodes" in RSH1
2. you can enable Query Stripping in webi query panel and webi document properties
3. you can enable BICSLOVChunking registry settings
--> Note 1581323 - BI 4.0 Web Intelligence very slow performance when using BICS
4. modify the WebiParamMaxLovSize settings
--> Note 1671774 - "OutOfMemory exception" and poor performance when accessing large LOV's in WebIntelligence (using Desktop client or Launchpad) using BICS to connect to BEx query
5. you should implement all the latest BW correction from the BI-RA-BICS component, such as BICS Note 1593802 Performance optimization when loading query views
6. You should use the latest available Patch2.12 (optimizations since 2.10 are very good)
7. you should answer as many Filters (Bex variables) as possible during runtime.
Regards,
H
p.s. after these steps, the rest is down to Document, Query, and Datamodel design.

Direct Execution of query having Unicode Characters

Direct Execution of query having Unicode Characters
Hi All,
In my application I am firing a Select Query having Unicode characters in Where Clause under condition like '%%'
to Oracle 10g DB from a Interface written in VC6.0...
Application funcationality is working fine for ANSI characters and getting the result of Select properly.
But in case of Unicode Characters in VC it says 'No Data Found'.
I know where the exact problem is in my code. But not getting the exact solution for resolving my issue...
Here with I am adding my code snippet with the comments of what i understand and what i want to understand...

But now i am not getting whether,
1) storing the string in CmdBuff is creating issue
2) SQLExecDirect si creating an issue(and some other function can be used here)...
3) Odbc Driver creating an issue and want some Client Setting to be done(though i have tried doing some permutation combination)...
Any kind of help would be appreciated,
Thanks & Regards,

Hey Sergiusz,
You were bang on target...
Though it took some time for me to resolve the issue...
to use SQLExecDirectW I need my query in SQLWCHAR *, which is stored in char * in my case...
So i converted the incoming query using MultibyteToWideChar Conversion with CodePage as CP_UTF8 and
then passed it on to SQLExecDirectW...
It solved my problem
Thanks,
Pratik...

Can I directly access BEX query from web version

Hi expert,
Can I directly access BEX query from web version ? I know we can access bex query from webi rich client.
Many Thanks,

Hi,
Yes, you can access BEx query via BICS connection (OLAP Connection).
In SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.0 you have multiple options to connect your SAP BusinessObjects BI client to your SAP NetWeaver BW system.

XI--- R/3 scenario: directly access and query a Y-table in R/3

Hi forum,
I need to make a XI--->R/3 scenario, i want to access and query a table in R/3 (a Y transparent table),
i have been suggested to use a Sysnchronous call to BAPI/Function module, but i want to know whether there's a way i can access/query a Y-Table in the R/3 directly without using a function module in it,

hi sudeep,
to access a table in r/3 u can either go for an rfc or a server proxy.
>>whether there's a way i can access/query a Y-Table in the R/3 directly without using a function module in it,
do u mean querying the database directly? u "can" ofcourse do it but <b>shud never</b> access r/3 database directly.
[reward if helpful]

latika.

Sap user screen directing to SAP query screen.

Hi Folks,
In general by the time of logging in CRM system its should show user menu, but in my system its directly going to SAp query screen. Please suggest me how to change this to get the normal user screen while logging.
BLR

Hi,
Plz check if u are using a shortcut for logging in. In a shortcut we can give the transaction code which needs to be executed on logging on.
If yes then create a connection and login through it. Then u can go to the sap easy access menu.

Deepak

Return value for Direct OBPM SQL Query in OBPM 10GR3

Hi all,
I use a direct SQL Query provided by OBPM 10GR3 in my automatic activity to select certain elements from the db. The query is as follows:-
foreach (element in
SELECT id FROM TESTTABLE WHERE requestId = 732 and status = 1 )
// statements
logMessage("-- The id is-->" +element.id);
This only returns when the id is found in the db but returns nothing when not found in db?
How can I always get a return value? atleast a true or false, so that I can put IF statements?
Because if it returns nothing, the loop does not execute {}? So we cannot put something like:-
foreach (element in
SELECT id FROM TESTTABLE WHERE requestId = 732 and status = 1 )
logMessage("-- The id is-->" +element.id);
if(element.id == null)
logMessage("-- Id Not Found -->" );
else
logMessage("-- Id Found -->");
How can I always get a return value from my OBPM direct query ?
Remember , I am not using DynamicSQL in this case?

Hi,
Set a Boolean flag value to False before the SQL query.
Some thing like:
boolean flag = false;
foreach (element in
SELECT id FROM TESTTABLE WHERE requestId = 732 and status = 1 )
logMessage("-- The id is-->" +element.id);
flag = true;
if(flag) {
logMessage("-- Id Found -->" );
else
logMessage("-- Id Not Found -->");
Hope the above logic would work fine.

OBIEE direct DB request query sql statement cannot be edited after saved

I have created direct DB request with long complex query, validated sql and Results appears ok. After I save this request and go back to edit the SQL statement, the original statement is only partially visible. Basically I can not do edit.
Is there any Query related buffer or other configuration parms I have to set up?

I'm not sure what the deal is between Flex/AIR and Visusal Studios, but i descided to publish my webservices and point the wsdl there instead of using the visual studio generated one.
AND BEHOLD
I't worked and worked much much faster than i was anticipating.
So i'll just chalk it up to poor communication between FLEX and VS. But if anybody knows a more complete answer I would still love to hear it.

Issue: Now i attempt to run dt tool (Direct IO option) as test run. The test fails & dt fails to write.
without direct io flag, dt tool run is working.
I read Novell Support Doc ID: 7001517 & understand there's an option to enable/disable Direct IO to file/volume.
Question: Can you suggest how can i toggle DIO & non DIO? Procedure please.

Alerts and Approvals intercompany

Dear Experts,
The following is my requirement.
HO and Subsidiaries are running on SAP B1. HO need to assign budgets for Sub companies. And If deviation from Budgets occur alerts or requests for approvals has to be sent to the HO for approval.
Any ideas on how to address this scenario?
Thanks In Advance,
Vasu Natari.

Hello Vasu,
Alerts is possible, ans "easy" to implement, Approvals is a bit hard.
here i am talking about intercompany alerts, and you may use this idea for implementing for the Budget
Let's see alerts in example
1.st scenario
If they are on the same sql server:
. You can write any query over databases using the table FQN, (Fully Qualified name).
select * from [DATABASENAME].dbo.[TABLENAME]
HQ database name: HQ
Subsiduary database name: SUB_1
You can write the following query:
select sum(DocTotal) from SUB_1.dbo.ORDR where docdate = GetDate()
You execute this query on the SUB_1 database: gives the result of the sales orders issued today.
You execute this query on the HQ database: gives the result of the sales orders issued today on the SUB_1 database.
right now if you create an entry in Alert management, and schedule in HQ database, you are able to read the data from any of subsidiaries.
2.nd scenario:
If they are not on the same server:
in MS SQL server possible to enbale openrowset function (allow remote queries) in Surface Area configuration. BY the you can link the 2 sql servers directly from a query runs on loca server, and executed on remote server.
you may read more: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190312.aspx
Now by this you can "link" the 2 servers together, and create a stored proc for executing the alerts on HQ.
on HQ you may use the following (based on example 1)
SELECT a.*
FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'SERVER_NAME;Trusted_Connection=yes;',
'Select sum(DocTotal) from SUB_1.dbo.ORDR where docdate = GetDate()') AS a;
I hope these information helps...

Performance problem with report query

Hi,
I am encountering a performance issue with a page returning a report.
I have a page that has a region which joins 2 tables. One table has about 220,00 rows, while the other contains roughly 60,000 rows. In the region source of the report region, the query includes join condition with local variables. For example, the page is page 70, and some join conditions are:
and a.id=:P70_ID
and a.name like :P70_NAME
I run the query that returns a large number of rows from sqlplus, and it takes less than 30 sec to complete.
When I run the page, the report took about 3 minutes to return.
In this case, :P70_NAME is initialized to '%' on the page.
I then tried to substitute variable value directly in the query:
and a.id=1000
and a.name like '%'
this time the report returned in about 30 sec.
I then tried another thing which specified the region as "PL/SQL Function returning sql query", and modified the region as follows:
l_sql := '.......';
l_sql := l_sql || 'and a.id=' || v('P70_ID')
and similar substituting :P70_NAME to v('P70_NAME') and append its value to the l_sql string.
The report query page also returned in 30 sec.
Is there any known performance issue with using the bind variable (:PXX_XXX) in the report region?

If you are able.. flush the shared_pool, run your
report then query the v$sql_area or v$sql_text tables.
Or do a google query and look up Cary Milsap's piece on enabling extended trace .. there is your sure fire way of finding the problem sql. I am still learning htmldb but is there a way to alter session enable trace in some pre-query block?

Unable to Schedule a Direct Database Request in OBIEE 11g.

Hi All,
I am trying to schedule a Report that is generated using a Direct Database Request Query.
Whenever I try to create an Alert for this specific Report it Fails to deliver.
I checked the Job Manager for this Alert. I found out that the Job has completed with an Exit Code = 2 and there was no other error description for the same.
Can we not create an alert for a Direct Database Request.
Please let me know if anyone has dealed with such an issue and if anyone has a solution for this.
Thanks in advance.
Dev.

Analyses based on direct database requests and sent out through agents work just like any other analysis in terms of content, delivery etc.
Are you sure that you're not hitting a privilege problem and that the user executing the agents isn't allowed to run direct database requests?

Document Link Item Icon not visible at query execution

Dear Colleagues!
How can I acheive to have the comment-icon visible when I open a query with comments in BI Portal, as a default?
I have set som settings for the properties of the Query in Query Designer. As it is now I have marked for Document Links, Master Data and Info Provider Data, under presentation of the query as a whole.
Still, when I execute, I can not see any icons. But if I enter settings in the web, and mark for Document Settings for data, the icons appear.
I do not want the customer to have to do this settings each time they ececute a query from the portal. Rather I want the Document Link Icon to be visible by default. How can I get my settings in the query designer to be counting in fromt of the settings in the template?
Regards Silje

I figured this one out myself. There is a setting in Web Application Designer, directly on the query in question. In properties for the query I tick of "Document Links Visible".

Date format conversion in BEX query level

Hi ,
We had a date field in the numeric format like 735.020 in the cube level, but when we execute the query the values for thsi date field is changed in to date format like 31.05.2013.
we are not having any conversion routines and the date fields are used directly in the query .

Hi,
Try the below class file or may be create a method in your controller. It will resolve your problem.
package com.XXX.DateFormatForSAP;
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class FormatSAPDate {
public static String changeDateFormat(Date sapDate) {
String formattedDate = null;
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
formattedDate = dateFormat.format(sapDate);
return formattedDate;
Try this code and let me know.

Mukesh
