Display of Compounded InfoObject in Business Objects Variable screen

Hi,
The Cost Center is compounded with Controlling Area in BEX Query and there is filter on that. After running the query, in the select options, it will display Cost Center in the possible values in the selections.
When this query is used in BO Universe, the Variable screen in Webi report is displaying the Cost Center concatenated with Controlling Area. But in BEx Query, it displays only the Cost Center, not the Controlling Area.
Can it be possible to just see the Cost Center (with out Controlling Area) in Webi Reports ? Can some one have any input ?
Thanks,
Mohan

Mohan,
The BW Olap Engine (as used directly by BEx) can distinguish a compound object, and 'strip-out' the
prefix information. However, when this compound info (such as 0FISCYEAR - which is a compound object made
up of: 0FISCVRNT/0FISCPER, in the format : K4/200912 ) ... comes to BO WEbI via MDXINTERFACE + ODA
Layer, this 'intelligent' display is not detected.This feature does not exist in SAP OLAP BAPI.
As Ingo said on reporting level we can use substring or replace kind formuals but for prompts we have to wait until SAP tweaks it in next SP.
Thanks

Display of messages from R3 Business Objects in Web Dynpro

Hi,
Please let me know how to display the messages that are given by the R3 Business Objects(BOs) in the WebDynpro view.
Example : Suppose I save a record using the GCP APIs and need to display the message "Save successful/save aborted due to...." given by BO in the view.
Awaiting your kind response.

Hi Anil,
The method you suggested displays the string that I enter in my code (man.reportsuccess"...").
But what I want is to just display the text that I get from the backend and not the string I write in code.
The question is...how to access this backend BO messages??

Additional plug ins not displaying when working with ERBI Business Objects.

when working with ERBI Business Objects I am attempting to edit a report which requires Java. When I click on edit I get a bar at the top of the screen that say "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page". I click install missing plugins and receive a page that says no suitable plugins were found. I click finish and thus it still won't allow me to edit a report.
Please help

Please go to Java's website in this case to download Java.

Display compounded InfoObject value in BEX selection screen

Hi people,
Problem in 7.0
I have Costcenter compounded with Plant and I am using Costcenter for Selections in the BEx varaible screen.
After running the report, in the selection screen value help, only the value of Costcenter is displayed, not the compounded value (So it becomes very difficult to identify from which plant the costcenter is from)
What should I do so that the User sees as Plant/Costcenter in the Value help?
Problem in 3.5
The above issue is not there in 3.5, but.......
I select COSTCENTER X from PLANT A and execute the report. In the report output, I do not see the records only for COSTCENTER X from PLANT A, but for COSTCENTER X from all Plants
why is this? Is it how this works or is it a bug?
Please help. I appreciate your assistance very much.
Thanks,
Shameem

Integrating Business Object Attributes and Database attribute

Newbie using Oracle BPM 11g
I am trying the following:
1)Display two process fields from Business Objects (say firstname, last name) and one field which is a dropdown (say branchcode) from database using ADF UI.
2)Initiator enters the firstname,lastname and then selects a branchcode from the drop down and submits the form.
3)A Reviewer has to view these three fields selected by the Initiator.
My question is how do we enable the reviewer to see the branchcode selected by the Initiator(as it is list of values from database and not from a business object)
Sudip

Hi,
unfortunately this didn't solve it.
The confusing is, that I see the System in the loaded DQE window at the metadata loader, but the corresponding business objects of this system appear without any parameters.
I have no idea what else to do!

(Un-) Displaying Values of an COMPOUND InfoObjects in BEX

Hello,
I have a Mastadata InfoObject with one Attribute and
one Compound:
<b>Masterdata - InfoObject:</b>
IO_MASTER, with masterdata, CHAR(30)
<b>Attribute:</b>
IO_ATTRIBUTE, CHAR(29), ...
<b>Compound:</b>
IO_COMPOUND, CHAR(29), ...
...which means logical Primary Key is:
<b>IO_MASTER, IO_COMPOUND</b>
In BEX the Masterdata InfoObjects displays values with "/".
For Ex. as:
<<i>IO_MASTER Value</i> / <i>IO_COMPOUND Values</i>>
I want to Display only as:
<<i>IO_MASTER Value</i>>
How ?
Thank You

Hello,
for Your info:
Put the Compounded InfoObject <b>IO_COMPOUND</b>
into the rows or columns ( and mark it as undisplay)

Multiple Customers Number displayed due to compounded InfoObject

Hi Gurus,
I have one Compounded InfoObject "CUSTOMER" (compounded with InfoObject ROLE). There are also few display attributes(like CITY) in CUSTOMER InfoObject.
If there are 2 role assigned to 1 customer, it will display 2 records.
For Example-
Customer 12345 have two role ABC and DEF. It will display two records with customer number as ABC/12345 and DEF/12345.
My requirement is to display only 1 record for 1 customer(if multiple roles are assigned), irrespective of the role. I can't change the Compounded InfoObject CUSTOMER as it is used in several reports.
I also want some display attributs of CUSTOMER InfoObject in my report.
Please suggest any solution for this situation.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Alok

Hi Alok,
I think Rambabu's option is the best option. If you can't delete data of info privers which include characteristic' CUSTOMER' you can create a new customer defined characteristic.
Also you can delete master data of info object CUSTOMER with debug mode (you can get help from an abap consultant), but deleting master data with debug mode is very dangerous process and it can cause of SID consistencies.
Secondly you can't add display attributs of 'CUSTOMER' to Bex Query unless you add CUSTOMER to the query. Why don't you set them as nav. attr.?
However if you use WebI you can add display attr. to your report .
Thanks&Regards,
Oya.

Compounded characteristic are not displayed in the variable screen (BI 700)

Hi Experts,
How to display compounded characteristic in the variable screen of queriies?
Example :
IO 0PROFIT_CTR is compounded to 0CO_AREA. Tryimg to select 0PROFIT_CTR via a variable,
only values of 0PROFIT_CTR are displayed in F4 opo up, not those of 0CO_AREA.
0CO_AREA is not restricted in any way in query definiton.
This happens in BEx Analyser as well as in web apllication.
Did anybody face this issue? How to solve it?
Thanks in advance for helpful replies.
Regards
Joe

Hi,
Thanks for replies. Possibly I did't explain my problem i a correct way.
'I 've a variable for 0PROFIT_CTR. When I call F4 , values for 0PROFIT_CTR are displayed
e.g. as
7062 PC 7062
7062 PC /062
My problem is, that these PCs belong to different Co_areas. so i expected
3200 7062 PC 7062
4300 7062 PC 7062
3200 an 4300 are representing compounded Co_areas in this example. In 3.5 this worked perfectly,
if Co_areas was not restricted itself with a variable or a defined value.
Now I'm looking for the option to achieve this as well in 700.

Joe

Regarding New Business Object display.

Hi All,
I have defined a new Business Object for Account. BO is working fine.
I am sending a work item to approver for his approval, where i bind this BO to work item task, Now ideally he should see this as "Associated Business Object" in the work item on UI, but it is not coming over there. I checked in the work item log, BO contains values.
In other workflows like opportunity and all, where i delegated the standard BOs, same kind of binding is there and "Associated Business Object" is coming over there.
Now i wanna know that can we display user defined BO in the "Associated Business Object" or not ?
If yes, then where can be the issue with my workflow, is there any other procedure to be follow.
Regards,
Raman.

yes, we can display that. Some UI configuration needs to be changed for that.

Display the login User ID on Header in Business Objects XI R3.1 Infoview

In XI R2 Infoview- the login user ID is displayed on header. However In XI R3.1 infoview- displayed Business Objects Logo on the same place of the Header. We noticed that In BO XI3.1 infoview the login user ID is displayed on header. However the Business Objects logo is displayed on top of the user ID so the user ID is hidden. while Setting the Infoview Application properties in CMC (CMC>Applications>Infoview Application Properties> check Do not display logo) then it will hide the logo and then next login displays the login user ID. Could someone please confirm is it the solution with this configuration or else please help us how to display the user ID on Infoview Header.

Hey,
What you did is exactly correct.
Now you did on XI-R2 and 3.1 right??, whenever you got upgrade to next release of BO version again you have to do the same changing of properties. Which should not be dynamic based on your previous changes on earlier versions.
Thank You!!

Business Objects SSO displays incorrectly

I am in the middle of setting of Business Objects SSO to automatically sign in using the tomcat connector. We can successfully logon using our AD when we go to server:8080/InfoViewApp/logon.jsp with no display issue but when we log to server/InfoViewApp/logon.jsp it successfully logs us in but shows the entire Business Object window inside of the center of the Logon Screen window.
Not sure where the error is since it looks fine when we bypass the auto login connector by going straight to 8080 and by passing IIS. I attached a screenshot of the misshown window.
http://y-wing.net:8080/bobj.jpg

I'm not sure why you would use trusted auth IIS when we have AD SSO built into tomcat offering a much more secure, better performance, and all round more stable choice that is 100% supported by SAP. If it's because your CMS's are on unix we have written another solution to setup SSO with tomcat only in Kb KB 1537480 (as the configuration changed slightly in SP3 this document should only be used for XI 3,1 SP3) It can be applied to earlier versions to 3.1 by changing the vintela steps and possibly that url.

Business Object importer doesn't display objects

Hi,
I have done required configuations in R/3 system .If I go to DQE --> metadata improter and select the R/3 system it list all Business Objects.
But if I go to Business Object importer and select the system it doesn't show any BO.
Any idea ??
Regards,
Abdul Raheem .S

HI
DOn't know if it can help you. From the available business object list, don't attempt to expand your sysmet aliase but only highlight this and execute "Add" that should have been sufficient enough.
But I find SAP's documentation is really bad in unification part on how to get drag and relate functional. Really very bad and waste customer's lot of valuable of time to try and test.
