Display Key and Long Description

Is there any way to display the Key and Long Description for a hierarcy in a query? It looks like the only option is to display Key and short description or Long Description only.
Thanks,
Ron

Hi
These are the basic steps:
1. upgrade to BW 3.5
2. choose to display as key and text
3. choose key + long text
the following links says the step by step procedure to do it:

Display key and text by WAD command in custom structure hierarchy

Hi everybody,
I have a query using a custom structure with hierarchy layout. As usual the structure does only display its text as descriptions but I can enable the display the key in BEx Web by right-click on the analysis item --> Properties --> Characteristic --> Display. Unfortunately these setting can not be defined directly in the structure within the Query Designer.
For a workaround I put the query into a web template, in which I used the Set Presentation (SET_PRESENTATION) command to enable key and text display from the start. Hence I put that command in the wem template parameters Action Before First Rendering (ACTION_BEFORE_FIRST_RENDERING). Everything is working properly and makes me very happy.
But... there is one thing missing, I would like to implement... I want a toggle button, which allows the user to switch between key and text display and text display. Unfortunately setting the same command from Action Before First Rendering (ACTION_BEFORE_FIRST_RENDERING on a various button does not working. The button command only affects data rows of the leaves of the structure hierarchy. All parent nodes do not change their appearance.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thank you for any helps and comments!
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
I have a similar problem. Can you help me? How did you set the entry in Member Presentation of Command SET_PRESENTATION to display key and text? I just found the values to set the only text or only key.

Multi Language Description and Long description update.

Hi Guru,
I would like to know the possible ways to upload the description and long description in multiple languages for the existing items in mass. For newly created items, we can enter the data in language form tied to the description.
Is it possible to do with APC WebADI.? or any other suggestion would be highly appreciable.

I solved the problem by myself. It's a customizing with OBVU.
Hope it can help others.

Loading key and/or description from BW into BPC

Dear all,
We have the requirement to load master data from BW into BPC 10 NW (SP4) and are facing some difficulties.
Depending on the property, we want to do the following:
- Load the attribute key into BPC property
- Load the attribute description into BPC property
- Load both concatenated using an underscore into BPC property
The loading process as such works and the concatenation would aswell, but so far I'm only able to load the keys into BPC. In the BW table I can see that the attribute has both a key and a description but I don't know how to select the description in BPC (either through transformation file, set selection, ...). Is there a standard functionality to select between a key and a description in BPC 10 or do I have to ask the BW-team to make an additional attribute with the description as a key?
Same goes for loading the member ID's and member descriptions for a specific dimension. There we want to fill the member ID in BPC with the BW description and use another BW description to fill the member description in BPC.
Any advice/input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
I have the same problem and I don't know how to solve it.
While loading master data into BPC InfoObjects (or as called in BPC jargon "Dimensions") I found out, that it is possible to load the Attribute ID's relatetd to the InfoObject, while it is not possible to load the corresponding descriptions.
Actually I cant help you with my post. But atrouble shared is a trouble halfed
I would be pleased if somebody could offer any solution to this problem
Kind Regards,
George

Need help for displaying key and description in Dropdown (ABAP WEBDYNPRO)

Hi Experts,
I am using dropdown as a table field. For this dropdown I want to display the value as well as description.
In ALV table when we create a dropdown dynamically in table field, there is a method SET_KEY_VISIBLE in class CL_SALV_WD_UIE_DROPDOWN_BY_KEY.
But I think we cannot use similar method for normal dropdown field in table.
Is there any way we can display both value and description in dropdown value set ?
Please help.
Regards,
Anand

Hi,
I think there is no such option. You need to consider one variable type string and while populating the
valueset fill this variable by concatenating the value and description and assign it the key and value
pair of the valueset.
DATA:
lt_value_set_ctry      type table of wdr_context_attr_value, " Country/Service Location
lv_str type string.
    loop at lit_country into ls_country.
      concatenate ls_country-value ls_country-text into lv_str separated by space.
      ls_value_set-value = lv_str.
      ls_value_set-text = lv_str.
      append ls_value_set to lt_value_set_ctry.
      clear ls_value_set.
    endloop.
      lr_node_info->set_attribute_value_set( name = 'COUNTRY'
                 value_set = lt_value_set_ctry ).
Consider this lit_country is a text table for countries.

Display key and text in variable selection screen.

Hi:
I have a variable in the Var.selection screen. and I cannot have the text displaying. Only the key is coming.
- I have checked "Provider-Specific Properties" in RSA1 and is ok. and display attributes in Query Designer as well.
Infio: The Characteristic is used in the same query as a Free Char. and there is displaying Key+Text correctly...
any idea in what else to check.?
Regards.

Hi,
Do you mean that the value help of that variable is not showing the Text values in the selection screen.It shows only the values in "Key"
If this is the case,then invoke the value help of that variable->Click "Settings"->"General Display" tab->Select "Default(Text)" and click OK.The values will be listed in "Text" rather than "Key"

Short, medium and long descriptions in BPC

Hi all,
I must have 3 types of descriptions in BPC members, short, medium and long.
The only way to achieve this is using properties for two of them, or is there any other option?
Many thanks in advance,
JA

Hello Ja,
"The only way to achieve this is using properties for two of them, or is there any other option?"
I don't understand what this mean... ?
any how, If you are taking about master data loading from BW, then we have an option to choose description whether it is short, medium, long..
while running the DM package in the set selection go to language tab. for reference see the below image...

Changing Infoobjects Short and Long description on mass level

Hi,
We are trying to change the descriptions for infoobjects on mass level. We dont want to change the same in dev system and transport since its not feasible to check the consistency of the objects.
Kindly let us know if there is any other alternative for the same.
Thanks,
gaurav

Hi Siggi,
We tried changing the description using this function module and it worked in our DEV system. The concern here is when we check the attribute for this SAP standard function module it shows status "Not Released" under General Data tab.
Can we follow this appraoch as we could not find any other impacts since it changes only the text part of infoobject.
Thanks for the inputs!!

How to show display attributes like key and description in voyager

This question is on voyager connecting to SAP BI Query. I would like to show both key and description of the row member. It is mentioned in the guide that display attributes can be viewed and changed from the properties tab of the tab panel. But I didnt see any such option in properties tab.
Any solution for this?
Thanks
Raghu

It is a XI 3.0 version. I looked at Voyager user guide for XI 3.0 in page no 202. It is about Using Voyager with SAP
"Display attributes
Members have several string properties which are visible in Voyager:
u2022 Key
u2022 Short description
u2022 Medium description
u2022 Long description
u2022 Key and short description
u2022 Key and medium description
u2022 Key and long description
These string properties can be viewed and changed from the Properties tab
of the Tab panel.
Note: Key and text properties are concatenated into a single string, and are
therefore displayed in a single column or row caption field. They do not
appear as separate columns or rows."
Thank you very much.
