Dynamic Drill Column Fill Business Objects Release 2

Hi,
I have a requirement where in I need to populate the column dynamically based on what is in the section as the report is drilled down to various levels.
Below is the example of what is the requirement :
2001 ( This is a section on Year and drillable)
State Sales Revenue
California 100
Arkansas 46
2001 Total 146
When I click on 2001 ...the report will drill down to Quaters
Q1
California 20
Arkansas 20
Q1 Total 40
What I am trying to achieve is display Q1 Total dynamically. Although it sums properly I need to show it as Q1 Total.
At present whatever formula I use only keeps it as 2001 Total no matter however deep I drill....but it sums properly.
Below are the differnt codes I tried :
=If(DrillFilters([Year )= " " ;(If(DrillFilters([Q1] )= " ";"Fun"; [Q1])) ;[Year])
Please let me know if there is a way to acheive this. I am using Business Objects Release 2
Thank you,

  • Dynamic Drill Column Fill

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where in I have to construct a drill down report. The hierarchy is as follows :
    Club
    Division
    Branch Name
    Initially only Club Name and Transaction count field are displayed on the report which are drillable.
    When we click on the club name it drills downs to the different divisions under that club.
    In the report I do also have the total field which sums the value of the transaction count :
    What I need to do is : Dynamically replace the text to display " Division1 Total : " ......when on the Division Level or " Branch1 Total : " when at the Branch level or "Club 1 Total: " when at the club level.
    I would like to know whether is there a dynamic way to represent the information.
    Thank you,
    boe user

    It is possible with the help of below formula:
    If(DrillFilters([Brach Name]) Not Equal to "") Then "Branch 1 Total:" ElseIf(DrillFilters([Division]) Not Equal to "") Then "Division 1
    Total:" ElseIf(DrillFilters([Club]) Not Equal to "") Then "Club 1 Total:" Else "Total"
    You can also replace Branch 1 etc in the formula with [Branch Name]+" Total:" , so that it will give the exact name of the
    object on which the drill is done.
    Note: please replace Not Equal to text in the formula with the operator (<>) as it is not appearing in the post.

  • Business Object's Hot Patches

    Hi,
    We are currently using Business Object XI Release 2, hot patch 2, we would like to upgrade to the latest hot patch.
    Our question is, if we take the latest Hot Patch would it include all the previous Hot Patches? Or, do we have to upgrade one patch at time?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    First of all, thank you for your reply, back in November 2008.
    We are about to start the upgrading of Business Objects Release 2 with hot patch 2, we have not installed any service pack yet.
    Our questions are: can service pack 2 be installed on top of hot patch 2? Or, do we have to roll back hot patch 2 first, and then install service pack 2?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Two Business Objects to fill a Data Grid/table using Anchors?

    Hi,
    I have a SAP standard tile were a table (grid) is filled by an Business Object. I want to add an additional column and retrieve the value from another Business Object.
    My questions
    1) Can I use Anchors to automatically set the relationship between two Business Objects A & B, so that I can just Drag & Drop an additional field from Business Object B to the DataGrid of Business Object A in the design screen without writing additional code?
    2) Some BO's do come with a predefined relationship to other BO's, but in the case of I have to write a supply function do I have to use a specific "Data Source Type" such as "Business Object", "BusinessQuery" or "Business CollectioN"?
    3) I already tried to write a supply function, but I realized that the system does return for some BO's or BS's a object instance, if I call "gFactory.newBusinessQuery". Is there any logic/restriction behind?
    I know I can use RowLoaded2 and a unbound column, but I want to know if this approach is also possible?
    Thank you for any help,
    Regards,
    Andreas

    Hi Andreas,
    The answer to your question is YES. You can very well do it without any changes at the code level.
    The scenerio can be implemented using a concept called JointField Mapping in MAS.
    Scenerio 1 :
    If you want to display the extra field from another BO in a list tile on the click of a search button from the search tile , then
    Please do the following :
    1. Select the Busines Query that you have associated to the search tile and go to properties from the View Designer.
    2. In the properties, Click on the Joint Field Mapping and select the BO where the extra field id present and select the primary key, Segment Field associated, (extra field)BO Property that you want to display in the list tile.
    2. Add a new control (new Field) in the List tile - ie, From the Toolbox (Tileset COntrols).
    3.Go to properties of the newly added control. Associate the anchor as the same achor as the list tile was pointing to earlier. for eg : Y_BOCAPGEN.
    4. Then Go to BCOLFieldName property and give the property name as the newly added BO property name(New field).
    After everything is modelled, You will be able to see the extra field in your application!!!!
    NOTE : Ofcourse, After the Successful generation.
    Scenerio 2 :
    If you want to display an Extra Field in a Detail tile,
    1. Go to Relationship of the BO from the Detail tile and go to properties.
    2. In the properties, You can find the Joint Field Mapping porperty.
    3. This property is again modelled as explained in scenerio 1.
    Hope, It would have definetly helped and answered your query.
    Have a good day!!
    Best Regards,
    Vignesh Ravikumar.

  • Dynamic columns in Business Workplace

    Hi All ,
       We have an issue with Dynamic columns in Business Workplace ....We have changed the standard layout of the inbox with additional Dynamic Column with displays the Last Reserved By user of the Workitem...
    Issue is that - the value is not refreshed in the Dynamic column whenever user chooses the Refresh button in the inbox..
    Please let me know how to update the Dynamic column on choosing refresh in the inbox..
    Thanks for your help in advance...
    Thank you
    Srinivas

    Are you sure it is not refreshing, i.e. sure it is not a problem in your customer part of the solution? Try changing your attribute so the dynamic column displays the (current) time, retrieved as a virtual attribute on the business object. Then see if it is updated when you refresh.

    I am not sure whether customer BAPIs are displayed in the BAPI explorer at all. However, you could try to push the <i><b>button with the filter icon</b></i> and choose option "<b>All </b>(BAPIs)".

  • Business Objects XI Release 3.0/3.1 Enterprise Sizing Guide

    Is there a Business Objects XI Release 3.0/3.1 Enterprise Sizing Guide available yet...?
    We are trying to plan our hardware budget for next year.
    I have reviewed both the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0 Deployment Planning Guide, and the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0 Deployment Planning Guide - but neither one gives you the actual counts of concurrent and simultaneous connections supported per CPU/Service in 3.0/3.1.
    Edited by: Mark Richardson on Sep 16, 2008 4:49 PM

    Hello,
    In the deployement document for XI 3.O : "xi3_bip_deploy_plan_en.pdf",
    Page 81, one reads : "It is also recommended that you contact your Business Objects sales
    representative and request information about the BusinessObjects Enterprise
    Sizing Guide. A Business Objects Services consultant can assess your
    reporting environment and assist in determining the configuration to best
    integrate with your current environment."
    Therefore, such a document should exist.
    Any news since the last post?
    Thx in advance

  • Dynamic Drill Down Column wise in Webi Report

    Hi All,
    I need to have dynamic drill down functionality in my webi report.
    For example
    I have Columns;
    Fiscal Year, Fiscal Quarter, Plant, No. of PO line (4 columns).
    Drill down on Plant level.
    When i click on plant a new column should be added in webi report.
    Now my report should look like this;
    Fiscal Year, Fiscal Quarter, Plant, Buyer, No. of PO line (5 columns)...(New column Buyer is added)
    How to do this.
    Please help me guys.
    Thanks in advances!!!

    Hi,
    What you want is possible as long as the table formatting you have helps.
    What you can do is add a column to the table.  Then use the following formulas
    Formula in Column Name Cell:
    =If(Drillfilters([Plant])="") Then "" Else Nameof([Buyer])
    Formula in Column Values Cell:
    =If(Drillfilters([Plant])="") Then "" Else ([Buyer])
    Now, what I meant by "as long as your table formatting you have helps" is that, you need to change the border colors of the extra column to match with the report blank area, means the borders should be white in colour and the column width should be autofit and they wont be visible as they are white, once you drill on plants, the values come up.
    So if your table has no border, that will be perfect.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can i change released BOR business object

    Dear Gurus,
    I am in the upgrade project. During dev upgrade I made BOR object types to unicode compatible by applying a note 563417.

How I can do this.
    Please help me.
    Thanks and regards,

  • Service Packs and Fix Packs for Business Objects XI Release 2

    Hi,
    How can I know wich services pack or fix packs are installed on my server? I have installed Business Objects XI Release 2, and Xcelsius 2008 Release 2, and Live Office.
    Do you know where can I download a spreedsheet that contains informatiion about the fix packs or service packs and the issues that solved??
    Thanks
    Lilia

    Your first question was answered many time int his forums, please use search functionality before posting a question.
    There is no publicly available Version matrix + fixed issues list.
    However, you can do to Service Market Place > Downloads locate XIR2 section and see how many Service Packs and Fix Packs are available.
    Latest Service Pack for XIR2 is 6
    latest Fix Pack for XIR2 is FP6.4 (needs to be installed on top of SP6)
    To the right of each SP/FP in the download section of SMP is a link called "Info" , it leads to Knowledge articles which contain list of fixed issues.
    As all SP/FP's are cumulative, you can view Sp6 readme and Fp6.4readme to get overall picture of fixed issues.

  • Use a dynamic list of email addresses to email a report via Business Objects Server 11

    Post Author: wolfgang666
    CA Forum: General
    I use Business Objects Server version 11 to distribute reports via email but was asked if there was a way to only send the reports to those people listed in the report (which changes daily) instead of the entire distribution list. I can create a list of email addresses as a variable within the report but can't find any way to pass it to the Business Objects server "To:" field located in the destination screen. I would expect to see some option for sending to some value located in the report but alas no such option is evident. This seems like a feature the product should be capable of doing as it is so basic. Any other way to do this that anybody can think of? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi Alan,
    The simplest thing would be to simply use the Import Wizard to create a BIAR file and then back up the required CR's and instances to the BIAR file. So for instance you would use the "Import Folders and Objects" option. So the source system would be the system you are decomissioning and the Destination would be the BIAR file. Once that is done you can use the BIAR file to import the report content into another system in the future.

    Kind regards,
