Displaying Time-Dependent Text in BEx

I have a report which displays texts of the OrgUnit. The infoobject OrgUnit has time-dependent text.
I would like to display on the Bex report text information valid at the time in history.
Example:
OrgUnit Begda         Endda          Text
111        1/1/2003     6/30/2003      ABC
111        7/1/2003    12/31/9999     XYZ
When I run the report in history say before 6/30/2003, I would like to see 'ABC' text.
Please advise.

Just go into 0ORGUNIT and choose the option: Texts are time-dependent. You cannot have texts as a navigational attribute.
However, if you wanted to make them navigational, you would need to create a new attribute and insert the uppercase text values into it. Make this attribute navigational in both 0orgunit and your cube/ods.
However, it is much easier to just make your texts time-dependent.

Time Dependent Text

Hello, how do I set up my flat file to load time dependent text object. I encounter DTP errors when I tried the flat file with just customer key and text but not the date to and from information. is it necessary to have these fields to load? Thanks for your time. As you can tell I am just starting in SAP universe.
Suresh

Hi,
It depends upon the option which you have chosen.
In the master data/text tab in the infoobject if you have chosen short text check box then it will show short text only and mapped it to the source in tranformation.
The text for this inffobject is time dependent and values are determined by the validity periods range date to and date from.
For other infoobject you have chosen both the boxes and mapped them to the source fileds in transformation thats why it is showing both the text.
Thanks

Time Dependant Hierarchy in BEx

Hi All,
I have created a query on top of 0PS_C04.
In my master 0Project i have a hierarchy which is being displayed through BEx.
Now with every new fiscal year, new projects are added to the hierarchy.
When I run the query then all the projects of the hierarchy are displayed irrespective of the year they belong to.
My problem is that I want to display only 2009 related projects when i execute the report for 2009 and so on for the years that follow.
Can somebody please suggest a way out???
Thanks.
Regards,
Rohit

Hi,
Are you using option : Time dependent hierarchy or Entire hierarchy is time dependent. If it's the latter, then you can just restrict your query with the hierarchy having end date 31.12.9999. Using key date option is also convenient.

How to Display Time-Dependent Characteristic Data In Query

Hi Experts,
   I have encountered a problem. I want to use Time-Dependent Chart. And want to display different value according characteristc's valid from time. For Example,
The Characteristic 0COSTCENTER has the navigation attribute 0COMPANY, The data as:
0COSTCENTER   Valid from   Valid To       0COMPANY
BW2305              20070101   20070430     A
BW2305              20070501   99991231     B
I want the report can display as :
0COSTCENTER   Valid from   Valid To       0COMPANY AMOUNT
BW2305              20070101   20070430     A                  1000
BW2305              20070501   99991231     B                  2000
But when I set the query's key date 20070420, the report display as:
0COSTCENTER   Valid from   Valid To       0COMPANY AMOUNT
BW2305              20070101   20070430     A                  1000
BW2305              20070501   99991231     A                  2000
when I set the query's key date 20070520, the report display as:
0COSTCENTER   Valid from   Valid To       0COMPANY AMOUNT
BW2305              20070101   20070430     B                 1000
BW2305              20070501   99991231     B                  2000
Can anybody tell me how I can get report expected.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
1) Add the characterstics 0COSTCENTER ,0DATETO,DATEFROM and 0COMPANY to the cube.
2) And also add these 4 IOs to the Communication structures which has update rules with the concern cube.
3) I hope , you already have 0COSTCENTER in the Commnication structure and mapping for that infoobject at both Update rules and Transfer rules.
4) Leave to the Blank(no mapping) mappings for the IOs 0DATETO,DATEFROM and 0COMPANY in the Transfer rules.But make 1:1 mapping in the Update rules for these 2 infoobjects.
5) Write the below code in the strt routine of the Update rules:
TYPES: BEGIN OF type4.
      include structure like /BI0/QCOSTCENTER.
TYPES END OF type4.
DATA:
ITAB4 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TYPE4
       WITH HEADER LINE
       WITH NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY INITIAL SIZE 0.
SELECT * FROM /BI0/QCOSTCENTER INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS
OF TABLE ITAB4
WHERE OBJVERS = 'A'.
loop at DATA_PACKAGE.
     READ TABLE ITAB4 WITH KEY COSTCENTER = DATA_PACKAGE-MATERIAL
DATETO LE DATA_PACKAGE-PSTNG_DATE
DATEFROM GE DATA_PACKAGE-PSTNG_DATE.
              IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
                DATA_PACKAGE-DATETO = ITAB4-DATETO.
                DATA_PACKAGE-DATEFROM = ITAB4-DATEFROM.
                DATA_PACKAGE-COMP_CODE = ITAB4-COMP_CODE.
              ENDIF.
              Modify DATA_PACKAGE.
endloop.
ABORT = 0.
Here I assumed you have Posting date in the Communication structure and used to map to Fiscalperiod of the cube.
6) Do the Master data upload to Cost center and active the master data of it always before uploading the data to cube.
7) Do the uploading to cube from Sratch.

Display Time-Dependent Characteristic in 2different date columns (HR-data)

Hello.
I want to create a specific Query on a Self-defined HR-HeadCount cube. On this Cube I have Employee-number + characteristic values per month (e.g. PayScaleArea). Month is my most granular level.
The Query I want is the following :
     04.2006     05.2006
Employee/PayScaleArea
20184     5B     6
20230     3     4
20295     6A     6B
(5B, 6, ... are PayScaleArea's e.g. 5B is Manager)
I have already filtered on the Employees who got a promotion between 04.2006 and 05.2006 (=Month.Year). And now I whish to see the PayScaleArea listed of these Employees under 2 column headers April+May .
If this was a keyfigure this would be standard but for a characteristic I can't get it to work. I've already tried working with formulas (replacement path)
The problem is that it always displays like this :
              PayScaleArea
                  3     4    5B    6    6A    6B
Employee
20184
20230
20295
(which is realy bad)
Or
Employee/CalMonth/PayScaleArea
20184     04.2006 5B
20184     05.2006 6
20230     04.2006 3
20230     05.2006 4
20295     04.2006 6A
20295     05.2006 6B
(this is correct, but not verry readable, having it in 2 columns makes it easier to compare who promoted to what)
Note: I have PayScaleArea directly in the Cube and also as time-dependent attribute on Employee => the attribute has the problem that I can only report on one key-date per query (which is specified on the header of the query) so combining multiple queries in a workbook would also be a (less desired) workaround.
Can you help me ?
Kind Regards, Carl.

Hello,
I'm affraid you do not understand my question. You mention here one of the two 'workable' solutions (the other one being 2queries on different tabs each for a different month and then combining the 2queries on a third tab)
The report layout does not look good in this txt format so I will split it up using my original example:
The Query I want has three columns :
1) Employee
e.g. :
20184
20230
20295
2) The PayScaleArea's of Month -1 (e.g. : 04.2006)
e.g. :
5B
6
6A
3) The PayScaleArea's of current Month (e.g. : 05.2006)
e.g. :
6
4
6B
If PayScaleArea would be a keyfigure then I could just put Employee in my rows and month + PayScaleArea in the columns and it would work perfect... but it is a characteristic and therefore it does not show up next to the employee in this case.
In a sense this is logically since BW does not know that there is only one characteristic value PayScaleArea per month and per employee.

Time Dependent Hierarchies in Bex

Hello All,
I have a time dependent hierarchy with the same leaf in two different nodes i.e,
Mr. Jones was a part of cost center A from 1/1/2001 to 12/31/2003 and he is a part of cost center B from 1/1/2004 to 12/31/2006.
When I want to run the report for time period 1/1/2001 to 12/31/2006, will the report show Mr. Jones as part of cost center A from 1/1/2001 to 12/31/2003 and as a part of cost center B from 1/1/2004 to 12/31/2006.
Or do I have to model this as a time dependent navigational attribute. If I do this, can I still display it as a hierarchy.
Please pour in your inputs.
Thanks.
In the infoObject i chose time-dependent hierarchy structure. I've built a new hierarchy, with the same leave in two different nodes. Each leave got different time interval but when i run a report on a period which include the time interval of the two leaves i get only one node...
Please advice.

CP5 - Default display times for Text Captions

Hi there,
I'm using Captivate 5.0.1 and trying to figure out how to do something that was in Captivate 4. In CP 4, I could edit the Preferences and set a default display time for new text captions. By default it is set to 3 seconds for all new text captions, but you could change it. In CP 5 the default is set to 3, does anyone know how to change it?
Thanks,
Mark

Hello,
It is exactly in the same place as in Captivate 4: Preferences, Global, Defaults. See screenshot. Or perhaps I do not understand your question well? If you are looking for Apply to all, you have to go in the Properties, but I did not understand that this was your question.

Time-Depended hierarchy and BEx-Queries

Hi Gurus, Masters,
I have ONE time-depended hierarchy for 4 periods (times):
1, 2, 3, 4
I have 4 columns in Query with 4 periods:
1 col for 1 period,
2 col for 2 period,
3 col for 3 period,
4 col for 4 period.
I have 1 row with this hierarchy.
How can i share this hierarchy in my columns by validity:
for 1 col -> this hierarchy for 1 period,
for 2 col -> this hierarchy for 2 period,
for 3 col -> this hierarchy for 3 period,
for 4 col -> this hierarchy for 4 period?
Any answer will be very appreciated.
Thank you.
Is this possible?
P.S.
I have 2 solutions found.

Hi Shashi,
One of the ways:
Create a variable type customer exit - in properties of the IO - in the 'select hierarchy' window there is a 'Variables' checkbox for key date.
Calculate the last date of the entered period/year in the exit.

Time Dependent Hierarchies in Bex Queries.

We are using Time depenedent Hierarchy structures.
year and period will be entered by the user in the query
Is there any simple solution where in based on the User entered year and period, corresponding hierarchy should be used in the query execution.

Characteristic 0PROFIT_CTR: Time-dependent Master Data Table '/BI0/QPROFIT_

Hello All,
I want to release a infoObject 0PROFIT_CTR to Prod. But after releasing the TR it errors with the following messages:
Characteristic 0PROFIT_CTR: Time-dependent Master Data Table '/BI0/QPROFIT_CTR' not buffered
Characteristic 0PROFIT_CTR: Time-dependent Text Table '/BI0/TPROFIT_CTR' not buffered
I went into these tables and also have set the buffering to ON and made them Fully buffered (Checked).
But even then it gives me same error.
Please help.

KP

Hi Harika,
You are right, you will have to use SE14 in production system, just check that whether you have authorization to use it or not. If you don't have authorization then you can check with Basis team.
You can execute SE14, then give table name and in the lower part of the screen Click on the option Save and adjust, and activate the table. Once this step is done you can re-import your request.
Make sure that you do not delete data.

Displaying Japanese text in Bex window

Hi,
In one of my reports, the text is in Japanese language and is shown as ######### in BEX window. Is there a setting, whereby I can display the Japanese fonts in BEX window ?
Would appreciate your help with points.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi
Have you mapped 0LANGUAGE in transfer rules and loaded Japanese fonts in BW
For that , you have to maintain language dependent text settings for the related master data
If you done this, any text can appear in BEx window

APD query key date with variable for time dependent MD display attributes

Hello,
In a APD I use a query as a source with a query key date that is filled with a customer exit variable.
When I run the query as a user, the time dependent MD display attributes look fine. However, when I use the query in an APD, I get no values for the time dependent display attributes.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
Try to run query using RSCRM_BAPI Tcode, this you can also schedule in background

How to use a time dependent attribute as a replacementh path in a Bex

Hi friends,
Does anyone know if it is possible to use time dependent attribute as a replacementh path inside the Bex Query .
For example in master data I heve like following records
                       material value    date from                   date to
                           AA       12        01.01.2000               01.01.2002
                           AA        15       02.01.2002                01.01.2005
And on transaction if I have data like
material callday             salesquantity
AA         01.04.2000           50
AA         01.055.2004         100
I want a report output like
material       Calculated value
AA              2100( 50*12 + 100 * 15 )
Thanks for helps
Regards
Erkan

Thanks for your reply Anil ,
We are using the progress that you mention at the moment , but sometimes data needs some corrections on factors which had been loaded inside the cube. It is not possible to correct those values inside the Cube later. So I need a solution on time dependent attribute with replacementh path . Then it will be available for corrections on master data .

Erkan

Crystal Report for Enterprise not displaying Long Text from BEx

Hello,
I am creating a report using SAP Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.0 (Version 14.0.2) and the source of data is BEx query via OLAP connection created using IDT. I am using SAP BusinessObjects BI platform 4.0.
The Characteristic (which is hierarchy) in the Rows section of the BEx Query is set to display long text and as such, it displays long text when the query is executed in the BEx Analyzer. However, when it comes to Crystal Report, the short text is displayed in the report. Can I display long text in the Crystal Report? How?
Thanks,
KP

Venkat,
Thanks for your response. Please note, however, the transaction RAD1 does not exist. Let me provide more details about the current settings of the InfoObject.
The Characteristic is 'Item' (0CS_ITEM) and upon going to RSA1 > Modeling > InfoObjects > Item (0CS_ITEM) > Right Click > Display > Business Explorer (tab) > Text Type is set to 'Long Text' and BEx description is set to 'Long description' already.
When I run/execute the query with this Item characteristic, the results in BEx Analyzer is showing appropriate long text, however, Crystal Report for Enterprise shows short text only

I want to diplay the current system time (format: hh:mm) in a text field on screen
... and update the displayed time every minute.
How would I implement it ?
Thanks for your assistance.

run the code above in a thread that is activated after every 1 min to update the timeYou should not create a thread to do this. Swing components should be updated in the event thread. It is better to use a Swing Timer. This thread deals with this issue. Replies 1 & 4 are the most relevant:
