Document attribute ticked on InfoObject which is nav attribute

Hi SDN Community,
We have recently enhanced a query, by removing a natural characteristic Cost Centre Category ZCOBCAT that exists in an infocube, and replaced this with a characteristic which is a navigational attribute - CC Func Code ZCCFUNCCD.
eg. characteristic value with was CC11 is now 11 with this change
On both these characteristics, in the infoObject properties, the "Document attribute" checkbox is ticked.
However, we find that when storing commentary functionality, the comments are applicable against the whole infoObject ZCCFUNCCD. Eg. If the variable input parameters are 11, the comments, are retrieved against 11, and every other value against the ZCCFUNCCD characteristic.
Is it such that navigable attributes enabled against multiproviders will not allow the "Document attribute" against the infoobject to work?
Or is it such i have to enable some other parameter against the Multiprovider or infocube that i have overlooked.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Simon

Hi Karthik, Gattu,
Thank you both for your answers.
As you have indicated, i have verified this:
1) the "Attribute Only" in the Miscallaneous area in the General tab of the infoObject is unticked
2) the "Characteristic is a document attribu" in the Miscallaneous area in the General tab of the infoObject is TICKED as this is what allows storing of documents against the infoObject, and is ticked in the original InfoObject. Are we saying here this should be unticked?
3) ZCCFUNCCD is flagged as a Navigational Attribute in all InfoProviders
4) I have also verified that the Multiprovider has all the assignment correctly ticked for the ZCCFUNCCD is ticked for all the InfoProviders.
What i do find different, is that if i look at 0COSTCENTER, then the attribute ZCCFUNCCD, has a check in the column "Texts of Char." But this should not be causing any issue as this is only using the same description for the Navigational Attribute Display in the queries.
Any other suggestions would be most helpful thanks.

Addition of New Attributes to existing Infoobject

Hi all,
I need to add new Attributes to an InfoObject,
which is already in Prod Env for my next release.
Can I add the new attributes in Dev and Transport the same to Prod without deleting the Data in the InfoObject in the Prod. env? we don't have option to get the data back if it gets deactivated, when transporting the New attributes to Prod as it is live and used in reporting..
Please suggest me the best way to do that and some important points to consider when dealing with the above scenarios.
Thanks in advance.
Mike.

Hi,
You can add new attributes for the existing object and it will not be a problem to teh data.
since you are doing it in dev you can even follow the below method.
Create a new infoobject in dev with same attributes of the existing object and load data to the newly created object. Add attributes to the existing one and load back the data from the newly created object. Check out this. It will let you ensure about the data.(Assuming that the infoobject is master data object)

Selection criteria with Nav Attribute

Hello,
I have a scenario where I added a navigational attribute in APO BW. The nav attribute is reflecting correctly in Master Planning Object Structure. But it is not reflecting in the selection criteria in interactive planning.
Please help.
Regards
Steve

Hello,
That is great point. I tried to edit the planning book and in the characteristics tab (in the edit mode of planning book) the new attribute is not reflecting in the planning area (which is on the characteristics tab on the right hand side) to take me to the left to planning book.
I hope I am clear.
Please help. I need it badly.

DataLoad-Problem after adding Nav-Attribute to InfoObject

hi there,
i added a navigational attribute, which i newly created, to an existing infoobject, which had already data loads.
i activated the infoobject and modified the transformationrule to fill the new attribute of the infoobject.
after i activated the transformationrule, i started the infopackage to fill the new attribute.
after the load has finished, i i started a master-data-changerun.
but when i let me show the data in the infoobject, i view only the SID of the infoobject. all other attributes are empty.
i am not using a startroutine in the transformationrule.
when i debug the transformationrule, i can see all values (SIDs and attributes of the infoobject).
i tried the RSRV transaction to check the masterdata of the infoobject, but it shows no errors.
what can i do, to repair the infoobject?
i'm using BI 7.0.
regards,
philipp

Hi,
First step is the check the data insde P table ( example /BIC/PXXX which will be there in the in master data and text tab)
if you find the data for newely added attributes then it works fine.
or else
Delete the master data
programs for individual IinfoObject master data deletion:
RSDMD_DEL_BACKGROUND or RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_DATA_TEXTS
then delete the transformation and recreate the transformation followed by DTP once again
activate all atributes individually once again
load data to the infoobject and check it.
you should be able to relove the problem

Auth for Nav Attributes

Hi All, I have a report on a multicube which is secured by company code. I also have 2 navigational attributes on company code- Plant of origin-company code and ship plant-company code. I have an authorization variable on company code which I am using to feed the variables on the 2 navigational objects through customer exit. When I run the report, it runs fine but when I try to drill down by any of the two navigational attributes(on comapny code) then there is an authorization error. I ran a trace and see that the system does an auth check for all the 3 objects(main auth object and the nav). Is there a way to stop the auth check on the nav attibutes? Thanks
Puneet

Hi Emerald,
maybe an approach to resolve some irritations.
Let consider your scenario, one char is used as nav attribute in several chars. i.e. Char A, used in B__A, C__A and D__A.
If you want to protect the usage of the characteristic A as navigational attribute in the characteristics B, C or D, you have to set the flag 'Authorisation relevant' in the attribute section of the respective characteristics B, C or D (which means up to 3 flags and corresponding 3 authorisations).
If you want to use the characteristic A in its on right in an InfoProvider, you have to set the flag 'Authorisation relevant' in the InfoObject maintenance of characteristic A.
If I have stated something different in my previous replies, please neglect them.

Authorization for multiple nav attributes

Hi Experts,
I have 2 doubts that I need to confirm with you:
Scenario :
an aggregation level has nav attributes A__C and B__C.
A__C is restricted by authorization variable in the filter section of the query.
A__C is shown in the rows as well.
B__C is not defined anywhere in the aggregation level and the query.
Authorization is created for the user on A__C and B__C and assigned to user via the BI7 auth admin tcode(s).
The requirement is to control such that user cannot access certain values of Both A__C values and B__C values found in records. In this case, user is set to access only :
A__C : 1111
B__C : 2222
A record exist like this :
A__C **** B__C **** KF
1111 **** 3333 **** $1000
Question:
1. when the query is executed, authorization check is ok for A__C and the query should execute.
But given that this user is not authorized to B__C = 3333, will the KF value of $1000 be displayed by the query at runtime assuming the query only is selecting A__C and the KF?
If it does not show results or shows 'not authorized' , can I say its due to B__C = 2222 is granted and not B__C = 3333 was granted?
Else if it does show the $1000, can I say that even if B__C is set = 2222 in the user profile / authorization object assigned, there is no effect of authorization in this case and the record having B__C = 3333 will be displayed with the KF value (B__C value still will not be shown as its not in the query definition).
2. Assuming char C is defined in the query and aggregation level, must this be individually restricted (i.e set auth of C = value1, value2 .....) in authorization object or roles in order that the effect of A__C is achieved where authorization values for A__C is defined by setting auth of A__C = value 1, value2 ...?
Scenario A: char C is in the aggregation level but not used in the query definition in the rows and filter.
Scenario B : char C is in the aggregation level and used in the query definition in the rows.
What would the result be in the above 2 scenarios ?
Hope to get enlightened about this aspects.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards

Dear Pointes,
For management authorization by navigational attribute, I suggest the following steps:
1. Should check the attribute setup of A and B InfoObject in Tcode RSD1, and be sure if they are relevant of authorization. Remember, in BI2004s the attribute navigational are different component authorization.
2. Then, you should check your analysis authorization in Tcode RSECADMIN Authorization and verify which these attributes navigational A__C and B__C are included in analysis authorization, and what value do they have? Be careful which logical sing <, >, =. Also, remember include colum : value in each attribute navigational for avoid problem.
3. Before that, you should check the queries structure and be sure if theses attribute is like a entry variable authorization.
I hope that can help you,
Luis

How to create variable in BEx on a Nav Attribute?

Hi All,
We are creating a report on Master data object 0MILESTONE. 0PROJECT is the navigational attribute of 0milestone.
and ZSTATUS is the navigational attribute of 0PROJECT.
Requirement is to create variable on ZSTATUS in BEx. How do I do that? I dont see option of creating variable on Nav attribute of a Nav attribute.
Regards,
Bob

Hi,
There is nothing as such creating variable for navigation attribute. You can only create variable directly on particular infoobject.
In your case you are using transitivie attributes. So they can not be accesed directly in BEX query. You can only use 1st level nagivation attributes in bex query.

Tricky! Change of navi-attribute values in ABAP and use in selections

Hi gurus,
now I have a teaser that really keeps me busy, and which might be interesting for some of you:
we use several statuses in our Demand Planning in SCM 5.0, some of which can be switched by using a user-function macro which just basically is a ABAP function module that changes navigation attribute values directly on the database, meaning in the master data tables of the respective characteristic.
Now, the code works, the values are changed accordingly, leaving the data set in object status "active" - BUT:
when we call a selection, it still shows the old values, even after activating master data or running the attribute change run!
This is not what we expected. Our wish was, that once the table was updated with the correct field values, we would also see them in our selections.
Details:
we have two statuses as navi-attributes to an article:
DP: YES/NO, and
oDP: YES/NO
Combinations originally are: DP YES/oDP NO
After the status change macro, the table shows the following, as expected:
DP NO/oDP YES
As we have two selections, one on DP status "YES", the other one on oDP status "YES", we would like to see the article vanish in the first selection and show up in the other one...
Does anybody have an idea what is wrong and what we can do to have to proper navi-attribute values from the master data table in the selection? Does the selection not read from the database but from a buffer?
Looking forward to your answers,
Klaus

Hi Fabrice,
yes indeed, I did check the object version, and it is A.
Problem is, the function module changes the data record which is "A" anyway. So the changed data record is active - however, I just had a look at the SID master data table, and it looks that direct changes to the P-table do not affect the X-table where the SIDs are stored. So I guess I will also have to update the X-table with the correct SID-values.
If this works, I let you know. We will be using this change by ABAP quite often, it is rather useful.
Regards and thanks for your prompt reply,
Klaus

Navigational attribute Vs normal infoobject in Query

Hi
I have some infoobjects named ..1)ITEM....2)STATUS....3)SALES etc in cubes...
I have to design a query showing this data...the report should show Item Status also...I can use normal infoobject STATUS from infocube in report to show Item Status....I have one more possibilitySTATUS is added as navigational attribute of infoobject ITEM..So I can use this navigational attribute also..which one should I use normal infoobject STATUS or navigational attribute STATUS of infoobject ITEM to show item status in report?how to decide on this?
Thanks for your guidance.

Hi Hayward,
Status as direct Object
When you use Status as an object added in cube you get the data of the day the cube was loaded. Let say for example your cube is loaded weekely on sundays, so the field status will give status as on sunday, even when it is run on other subsequent days of the week. So as correctly pointed in above posts values you get in status are not real time but historical.
Status as Navigational Attr of Item
When you use Status as Navigational attribute of Item then you get current data because in almost all cases Master Data Objects are loaded on daily basis and thus it picks the latetst Status of Items.
In case your cube is loaded daily then it won't make much difference that whether you are using it as a standalone object or as navigational attribute of Item.
Hope it helped

Date nav attribute on filter not working on version 7

Hi All,
We have done an update 3.5 to 7.0. We have a query which is filtered on a date filed which is a nav attribute from delivery. In 3.5 this works fine, but in 7 it is not working.
Any ideas on what I can check?
Thanks.
Nick

Hi,
you can do that in copying the query using transaction code RSZC and saving it to an new name
1. Copy your first info-provider into new info-provider
2. Then copy structures or queries from first info-provider into new info-provider with RSZC
3. Modify new info-provider so way that it should have identical structure with your second info-provider
4. Then copy structures or queries from new info-provider into second info-provider with RSZC
5. Delete new info-provider
So you have two different info-providers with identical queries.
try this , it will work.(try in BI 7 enviornment )

Aggregates based on Nav Attribute Hierarchy

Hi,
I have naviational attribute hierarchy based on created by and enabled as navigation attribute from Infocube. So for each transaction the created by pulls up the corresponding nav attribute from master data.
I have enabled the Created By nav attribute hierarchy in the query and the rendering of the hierarchy is really slow and the performance went down.
What is the best way to increase performace creating aggregates at Created by level or Created by Nav attribute hierarchy level?
Is there any document available on this topic?
Thank you
Arun

Hi Arun,
I don't know if this can be useful, but take a look to OSS Note 738098 'Performance problems with hierarchies'..
Hope it helps!

Can I use Nav Attribute of a Nav Attribute for Drill Down....??

Hello Gurur:
I have a strange request. We need to use 0EMPLOYEE in our Cube, whic has 'Comp. Code', 'Cost Center' 'User ID' as Nav Attributes. "Com Pcode" has Nav attributes 'Global Divison" "Subsidiary" etc.
We need to use the 'Global Division' ifor Selection in Dashboard and Web templates. The only way to use it with 0EMPLOYEE" would be to use Variable on a Nav. Attribute of a Nav Attribute. ...... So involves 2 jumps.
Is this something possible?? I have my doubts but has anyone seen done this? Can someone please shed some light.
Thanks a ton in advance,........
Best PBSW

Hi pbsw2009:
To answer your question, yes, that is possible, in fact that is what SAP calls "Transitive Attributes".
In other words, Global Division is a Transitive Attribute of 0EMPLOYEE (in your scenario).
Take a look at this document, "Understanding Transitive Attributes"

SAP BW 7.3: RSTRAN018 after adding attribute to an infoobject

Hello,
i added an attribute to an infoobject and tried to activate this. In the log messages i received the message RSTRAN018 "Generation status of transformation XY will be reset".
I never got this message in SAP BW 7.0. Is this just a kind of information (new in Release BW 7.3) which can be ignored or does it has an impact on the transformation in which the infoobject ist used (e.g. inactivation of the transformation)?
In general the adding of an attribute to an infoobject shouldn't affect the transformations in which the infoobject is used.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Andreas

Hello,
You are correct this text is added to BW 7.30 (onwards I guess). The message is purely for Information purposes and the transformation should not be deactivated and will remain active/usable. This was confimed by SAP dev.

Transferring the Cube with activation of some Nav Attribute

Hi , In Production system, I have a sales multicube which has data coming in from sales overview and sales history cube. Data is loaded from mARCH 2006 to Till date every day in 2 basic cubes "sales overview" and "sales history"
Question 1:I need to now avtivate "ship to party - postal code" which is there in two basic cubes but not checked so I now select the check mark in nav attribute "ship to party - postal code" for both the cube in development system. and same in mULTICUBE should I Transport 2 basic Cubes, and Multicube and All effected Queries or just the query in which change is requested.
Question #2 : How to reload all the data which is right now there in Production, If I transport the cube with changes from DevLOPMENT to Production will the data be deleted in Production. All Data is feeding in Cube from ODS so Can I just Transport the cubes in Production and Use Update data to data target in ods. will the data be reloaded in cubes by doing that. Data loaded is delta so please let me know asap what will be best way to make the change and also save the data that is right now there in cubes in Production. since i have to transport it from dev no changes allowed in production.Hope you will reply back soon. Thanks
alot
seeraj

Hardeep,
    You need to transport the Sales Overview cube, Slaes History, Multicube cube and modified Queries.
    when ever you make changes like Making Navigational there is no need to delete the data. you just do one transport.
All the best.
