Display attributes tab in BEx Web

Hi,
I don't see <b>display attributes</b> tab after clicking context menu -> properties -> Characteristics(for perticular Char). I can see only one tab.
There should be three tabs according to help.sap.com...
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/d3/ea523ac1ea1d35e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Iam a frontend(portal) consultant and i don't have any exp with query design or data modelling.. I don't see any option to display these tabs..is there any property i can set in WAD.
according to help.sap.com..."Attributes tab page appears only when the characteristic has one or more attributes"...where to add attributes to characteristic.
is there any SAP standard query working with similar functionality? Plese suggest or forward documentation links.
Thanks,
Krishna.

Hi,
We can see the tab and add the attributes to display in Bex analyzer but attributes tab in not visible on Bex(context menu -> properties -> Char) .We are running on NW04s SPS10.
Thanks,
Krishna.

Display of variable value / Bex Web Apllication Designer

Hello everyone,
I am using the Bex Web Application Designer to broadcast a report in PDF format.
In my WebTemplate, in the Info_Field_Item, i have to display a variable value : Company code.
My problem is in the PDF generated.
When the number of company code is 4, the result in the PDF is like this:
Company code : Company1; Company2; Company3; Company4.
But, when the number of companies is more than 4, for example 8, the result in the PDF is displayed like this:
Company code : Company1
Company code : Company2
Company code : Company3
Company code : Company4
Company code : Company8
It makes a problem of harmonization of reports, i tried many tests, but the result still the same.
Please, can somone knows how to change it, the PDF result must be like this way (watever the number of companies):
Company code : Company1; Company2; Company3; Company4; Company5; ...; Company8
Thank you and have a nice day,
Best regards.

I found an interesting link about creating Print versions of BI Applications.
Here, the link, hope it helps:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/43/68ce8391886e47e10000000a422035/content.htm
I made many tests in the Bex Broadcaster, but always the same issue.
Also, i modified the size of the INFO FIELD ITEM, but it changes nothing in the final result.
May be, there is a solution by modifiying the XHTML generated code in the Bex Web Applicatin Designer, especially the concerned line, but i don't knwo how to do, may be somone?
the concerned line is like this:
<bi:INFORMATION_ELEMENT_LIST type="ORDEREDLIST" >
<bi:INFORMATION_TYPE type="CHOICE" index="1" value="VARIABLE" >
<bi:VARIABLE value="AB_COMPANY" text="Company Code" />
I am waiting your answers

Characteristic attribute does not show correctly on BEx Web Analyzer

Hello everyone!
I'm working on a report in BEx Web Analyzer wich has the characteristic 0EMPLOYEE. When I call the context menu for this characteristic and select properties, I get a list of it's attributes. I select one of them for display.
The problem is, the value shown is not the correct one. It's an "old" value.
I change the employee's attribute in R/3 via PA30;
I succesfully update the change in BW (0EMPLOYEE master data);
The value shown is the previous one.
Is there any buffer between the BW system and a BEx Web Analyzer query wich I need to force-clear in order to see the correct data?
Best Regards,
Luís Andrade.

Thanks for your response!
It was a buffer issue. I solved it by simply refreshing the query with different selection conditions to force the system to read data from the BW system.
Best Regards,

Need more fields to be displayed on a single page in BEx Web

HI All,
I have developed a query in BEx Designer. This quer has 15 fields.
When i execute the query in BEx Web, it displays all the results. The problem here is that it displays only 4 fields data on a single page. I need to click on the next button at bottom right hand corner of the screen and it displays the next 4 or fields data.... again i need to click on the next button to check the remaining fields data. This is becoming a pain to check/validate the data displayed. Also the client is not happy about navigating so many screens to see all the data. he wants to see all the fields in single page.
Is there any way to change any settings so that all the fields / atleast 10 fields can be seen on a single page instead of clicking on the next button to see all the data.
Reports are developed on BI 7.0.
Thanks in advance

Hi Maddy,
for this issue you can use WAD 7.0. There you can set the numbers of columns and rows which are displayed easily within the analysis item. You can also determine if you want to have scroll bars or paging tabs (like in Query Designer).

How to display attributes for a CHAR in the Excel file (BEx)?

Hi all,
I knew that I can display attributes for a CHAR (ex: attributes - address, phone#, zip code for CHAR-Customer) when I run Web- based report. But I cannot find this function after I export the file to Excel. In the context menu for excel file, I only see 'select filter'(but no display attribute values), drilldown, properties (for query). Is it something that I cannot have in the excel file for the BEx report?
Thanks
J.

Hi Bhanu,
In fact, I found that I can move IOs in the 'rows', 'column', and 'free CHARs' and so do end user by using 'local view'. That means every one can change the query definition, right?
For your last question, that was what I want to know. How can I prevent 'end users' change those query definitions? Is it about 'role' setting, right? But I am not the one to do 'role' setting.
Thanks for help. (I will asign points when the SDN system works)

BEx Web - Inserting Tabs with multiple Web Templates

I encounter much difficulty to find consistent information on how to create a Web cockpit (BW3.5) by making use of embedded Web Templates (using web template web item).
In particular,
- How to define tab pages?
- How to insert an HTML document in one of these tab pages or in the body of a single Web template?
I would be glad if you could give me links to helpful documentation or share your own experience.
Best regards.

Hi,
I can`t find the BW Expert coding, too.
But try out following coding.
This example template contains 4 tabs
1) Query (assign a Query to DP1)
2) Query View (assign a view to DP2)
3) Template (assign a template ID)
4) Template (0ANALYZER)

Search for display attributes in Web reporting

Hello,
When I execute a query in Excel, in the variable entry screen, I can search values for material, for example, using some display attributes as Colour or Size. I mean, I want to execute the report for materials whose colour is white. I can open the matchcode for Material, I select the value "white" for the Colour display attribute, and I get a list of all the materials with that colour. The report is executed for those materials.
However, when I execute the same report using Web reporting, I don't have the display attributes in the selection screen, to restrict the material. Once the report is executed, in the Navigational block, if I filter the material, there is an option called "Search for display attributes activated", where I can restrict per Colour, but only for one value.
I have two questions related to this topic:
1) Is it possible to have the functionality "Search for display attributes activated" in the variable entry screen, for Web reports, in the same way it is available in the reporting via Excel?
2) Is it possible to configure that functionality, in order to restrict several values for the display attribute at the same time (in my example, for Colours "white", "black" and "red" at the same time)?
Thanks very much for your help
Patricia

Hi Patricia,
Looks like you have some new navigational attribute requirements, don't you think? I'm sure that would solve your issue, though maybe you're trying to avoid using navigational attributes (it is usually said that using navigational attributes is slower).
Maybe you can do a test on BEx to check if your query is considerably slower when filtering directly by material code (by filtering on the selection screen using display attributes) or using a navigational attribute.
Match codes on web reporting have lost some functionalities compared to BEx (such as importing a list of values from a file, for instance).

David.

How to increase the number of rows to be displayed in BEx Web Analyzer

hi,
I am viewing reports using BEx Web analyzer option. It is displaying only 24 rows of data at a time. How to increase the number of rows? do i need to any kind of settings?
pls reply.

Hi,
I think the standard template in 2004s is named 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN. You can find it in Web Application Designer, open, and search for the technical name. If you want to change the number of rows or columns, you can find this setting near the bottom of the XHTML view of the template:
<bi:BLOCK_COLUMNS_SIZE value="4" />
<bi:BLOCK_ROWS_SIZE value="17" />
Then just save, and ignore the error messages.

How to display Zero(0) values in cross tab format in Webi???

Hi All,
Is there a way to display the zero(0) or null values in cross tab format in
webi. I can able to display in Regular tabular format in Webi as u got an option
in Properties --> Display --> Show all rows/columns, but it is not working when
i am using Cross Tab format for the same data.
Regards
Ram

Hi Sunil,
Happy to see your solution. My requirement is that if you have a data like
SBU,                   Cadre,                Value
Chemical Buss,     Manger,                  45
Crop Buss,            Workmen,               63
Agri Buss,              Executive,              70
Chemical Buss,     Executive,              84
Agri Buss,              Workmen,              -
Crop Buss,                 -,                        -
So now we need to get the rows or columns that are having blank values. Say like if Crop Buss is not having any values so it wont be displayed, but actually it has to be displayed.

Display attribute incorrectly reported as "not assigned" in BEX Analyser

Hi SCN
I have a simple BEX query on a master data infoobject which displays the object key and several display attributes. One of the attributes is often reported incorrectly as "not assigned" although the behaviour is erratic and can sometimes be correct from day to day. I have checked the master data table and there should be a value ... when I run the report in RSRT, the attribute is correctly reported !
I have checked the infoobject in RSRV for errors (all lights are green), deleted the cache and set the report to not use caching in RSRT but the attribute is still frequently "not assigned"
all very weird ... any thoughts ?
regards
Ian

Hi Ram
no error as such, the report displays the attribute as "not assigned" ... this image shows the query and the RSRT output

BEx Web iView displays graph only after page Refresh

Dear Friends,
I am facing problem in BEx Web application iView.
I am using the SAP Standard BEx Web iView template to call BI Report by passing parameter as below
com.sap.ip.bi.bex?TEMPLATE=ZSD1_WR_TREND_HY
URL is Link[http://<hostname>:52000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex?TEMPLATE=ZSD1_WR_TREND_HY]
The report got 2 graphical representations along with a table data.
Problem is the graphs displays data representation only after refreshing the page.
Infact the problem exists in production system and works fine in Development system.
When I checked from portal prospective I found no difference.
Can anybody help on this.
Thanks in advance.
Lakshmikantha

hi,
find the iview from the content administration menu in portal.
If you are using a standard role open the role
and trace the pages until you find the iview containing the template.
Open the iview and check the parameter Content-BW report.
At the field BEx Web Application Query String go to and and check the template name.
Go to web application designer and open the above template.
Change the parameters from the post above and save the web template as zXXXXX.
Change the web template at iview as well.
What i figured out is that bex handler has a problem creating an array when you are using same session for more than one charts.
When you use seperate sessions for each chart there is no need for array creation and works just fine.
*If you are using best practices go to Content Provided by SAP->Specialist->Best Practices and find the role and iview you are using.
It should work..

Web Application: Display attribute in text element

Dear all,
we want to display an display attribute (0RESP_PERS as of 0COSTCENTER) in the header area of an web application. Therefore I tried to use an text element. I'm able to display the cost center itself, but haven't found the opportunity to display the related responsible person.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Daniel

Hallo Daniel
were you able to solve your problem?
I have the same requirement - display the cost center owner (attribute) of a cost center (characteristic) in a web template. I'm using NW2004s with the BI 7.0 front end tools.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Jürgen

Error message in Bex after I make display attribute navigational

Hello,
Regarding 0FIAR_C03. There's a display attribute called "Customer Classification". I made it navigational and re-activated the cube. Thereafter, the existing queries on this cube display the following error message when I try to edit them:
1) Variable 0P_KEYD2 for characteristic Posting Date has been converted to a required entry.
2) Variable 0P_KEYD3 for characteristic Clearing has been converted to a required entry.
Does anyone understand what this means and how I can resolve it?
Thank you,
Jim

Hello Bhanu,
Yes, I can edit the query after seeing these messages.
I also received an error message within the RSA1 after I turned on the Navigational Attribute, but it seemed like more of a warning than an error message, so I was not concerned....until I ran into this error immediately upon going into Bex.
In my past experiences, I never had an issues after making something navigational, but this seems to be related to that change....
Thank you.

Attribute not visible in characteristic properties in BEx Web

Hello all,
I have a query using Contact Person as a free chararacteristic. I need to be able to drill down this characteristic and display a custom attribute next to Contact Person, using the properties of the characteristic in the context menu. The problem is that the attribute doesn't show up in the list. All other attributes (most of them are display attributes) are visible.
If I add this diplay attribute to the query definition, the attribute comes together with Contact Person when I drill-down it. I can see the attribute checked in the list too.
When I put Contact Person in the row in the query definition, I can also see the attribute in the properties.
Does anybody know a solution for that?
Thanks in advance, Natalie

Hi Sree,
Thanks for your help. Actually, the attribute was a display attribute, but needed to be a navigation attribute. The reason seems to be the following: this attribute has another one as reference attribute (which I could see in the list).
I changed to nav. attribute and now it works.
