Excluding characteristic attributes in BI query

Hi.
I'm trying to exclude some attributes that are part of a free characteristic in a BI Report. I tried setting the attributes to "no display", but that just changes the default setting, which can be changed back by the person who runs it to display the key.
I also don't think changing these attributes from DIS to NAV will prevent them from displaying. They just need to be removed, but still available for future use.
I've looked in Query Designer and don't see any way to accomplish this.
Please help.
Thanks,
Kevin

I am trying to get a handle on the language.
how do your users run these reports?
what is a "free characteristic" ?
"They just need to be removed, but still available for future use."
for the reports side just delete the fields and add them back when they are needed

How to display attributes in the query

Hi frnds,
I want to show the attributes of material ( mat group , mat type ), vendor ( Sort field ) in the report.
We loaded master data for material and vendor.
I dragged the char and the relevant attributes in the query designer and executed the query. But in the output the attributes values are not displayed.
What could the reason ?
Regards,
V N.

Hi all,
Thanks for the reply.
"Display attributes will also get displayed if you include the infoobject for which they are attributes."
Suppose for 0vendor the attr is 0sortl. By defualt it is display attr. I dragged in the query the 0vendor and its attr 0sortl and executed. It didnot displayed any values for this 0sortl
I changed it to Nav Attr. And rerun the query, it is displaying values.
In the first case i included Display attr and the infoobject for which it is attr in the query. Please explain me why it didnot displayed the values.
And after changing it to Nav attr it displayed the values.
Please explain me what happened actually.
Regards,
V N.

XML attributes makes my query return no rows

Hello everyone,
I've an odd problem.
I'm querying some XML, but the attributes in one of the tags make my query return no rows; if I remove the attributes, then the query works as expected.
The XML is below; it's the attributes in the Report tag that cause the issues:

Select the same attribute in a query more than once

Hi Experts,
My requirement is to select the same attribute in a query more than once.
How can I acheive this?
Expecting an early solution..
Pilliga

Hi,
Create a calculated attribute that just displays the "same attribute".
(Note: you will need to uniquely name this object).
For example, if you wish to display Emp Name twice in the same query, then create a calculated attribute called Emp Name2 and select it and Emp Name in your query and the same info will be displayed twice in your results set.
Cheers,
Tanish

ADF BC : "Attributes selected in query with no column type found! ..."

hi
Using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0, I have this "Selected in Query" attribute, "Never" updatable, in my Entity Object.
The Entity Object is based on the SCOTT.EMP table and the attribute, called "BonusInfo", is defined using the expression " '[bonus info ' || (SAL * 2) || ']' ".
see http://verveja.footsteps.be/~verveja/files/oracle/NoColumnTypeFoundApp-v0.01.zip
While creating this Entity Object, I got a "Business Components" dialog that says:
"Column type is not specified for this attribute. Specifying column-type and precision results in better query performance at runtime. Do you wish to set column type to VARCHAR2(255)?"
I clicked "Yes".
I also created two View Objects based on this Entity Object.
In the "Create View Object" wizard "Step 4 of 7: Attribute Settings" I got a "Business Components" diaglog that says:
"Attributes selected in query with no column type found! Specifying column-type and precision results in better query performance at runtime. Do you wish to set default column type for these attributes?"
I clicked "Yes".
Testing the query in "Step 5 of 7: SQL Statement" showed "Query is valid.".
question:
Why do I keep getting the message ...
"Attributes selected in query with no column type found! Specifying column-type and precision results in better query performance at runtime. Do you wish to set default column type for these attributes?"
... in the View Object Editor if I click on different attributes?
(I don't get such a message the first time I click on an attribute after opening the View Object Editor, but after that it keeps popping up each time I click on a different attribute, no matter what I answer "Yes", "No" or "Cancel".)
many thanks
Jan Vervecken

Jan,
BC needs the column type and precision so that we can allocate the correct JDBC buffer size; otherwise we would just allocate 2k per string.

Attributes selected in query with no column type found! (solved)

Dear JHeadstart Team,
In the view object Editor I have two entity based attributes attrib1 and attrib2
both with type Number. Both have aliases with type number(9,0)
If attrib1 is null I want to have the value of attrib2.
In the expression box I put: nvl(attrib1,attrib2)
When I press the ok button I get the next error message.
"Attributes selected in query with no column type found!
Specifying column-type and precision results in better query performance at runtime.
Do you wish to set default column type for these attributes? "
When I say ok I get the next message:
"An error occurred. Unable to apply all the wizard changes.
Column type cannot be changed for Entity based attribute.
Exception: oracle.jbo.dt.objects.JboExeption."
The details button serves no extra information.
Since both the attributes have the same type I thought the nvl commando should work.
But what does the "no column type found" sentence mean?
regards,
Marcel.

Thanks Jan,
You've put me on the right track.
I found out that this is only possible in the entity object class.
So I have to check my limited java skills.

Compression fails with Characteristic attribute exists twice

Guys,
I ran a compression on cube 0PP_C03 that failed with "Characteristic
attribute exists twice"
I see that "Note 859320 - Multiple reference points in InfoCubes with non-cumulative v" tells me to run that program to clear up any dups in the E Fact table.
I currently have 4,060,118 rows in the E Fact table.
I ran rsrv program "Multiple Entries in Dimensions of a (Basis) InfoCube" and there are NO dups in the F Fact table.
Running "Note 859320 - Multiple reference points in InfoCubes with non-cumulative v" indicates that I have 42,627 dups. The note talks about running RSCDS_MERGE_DUPL_REF_POINTS and I ran it using no reference points in simulation mode. Maybe I need to specify some selection conditions?
I'd like to make sure I am executing the correct procedure prior to running this pgm live. Additionally, all of a sudden I have this same condition on cubes 0PM_C03, 0SD_C03, and ZSM_C001 as well. This is the first time I have seen this ocurrence.
Has anyone any experienve running this or having this compression error condition?
Mike

As I remember I got the error message:
Characteristic attribute exists twice with DBMAN 231
So I ran se38 pgm:
RSCDS_MERGE_DUPL_REF_POINTS, putting in the cube like 0PM_C03 and pkg size 100
and it fixed the problem.
Hope that helps. I just saw this and we don't have BW anymore. We have moved to HANA and shutdown BW.

Exclude top 10 in BEx query

Hi Experts,
I need to exclude top 10 from the query result. Creating condition in the query with top 10 is easy but how to exclude the top 10 in the query output? Thanks

Hi Waseem,
Have you tried Ninand Warang procedure . Is it working or not?
If not you have use the APD concept
create a query on top of that infoprovider with out any conditions..
Create A direct update dso..
In APD use Query as source and DSO as target. In between use ABAP program sort them > delete the first 10 records>
Create a query on top of DSO will get the Excluding TOP 10.
Hope it helps..

Ranganath.

Mapping between products in a BOM and var. config. characteristic attribute

Hi,
probably this is a "beginner's" question but we would need to know which tables are used to link products in a BOM material and the according VC characteristic attributes.
We have the following scenario:
- The user enters a configurable material in a sales quotation and starts the configuration. When saving the quotation the BOM explosion will be triggered.
--> Question: Is this based on a 1-1 relationship or based on complicated determination rules and/or dependencies?
What we would like to know is the other way round - from the product to the characteristic attribute.
Thanks a lot for any hint!
Regards,
Wolfhard

Closed as of now a we found a link between BOM item position and selection dependency.

COM API Characteristic attribute

What methods do I need to call in order to do the following?

Linq to XML query where clause excluding null attribute in child

I'm quite new to linq/XML and although I'm making progress I'm stuck at combining two levels of elements in a where clause. The XML is something like this
<employees type="cashier">
<employee hired="Jun 1 2000" fired="Jun 1 2013">
<stats name="jane doe">
... other stuff ...
<stats />
<employee/> <employee hired="Jun 1 2000">
        <stats name="john doe">
            ... other stuff ...
        <stats />
    <employee/>
<employees/>
I'm trying to retrieve all employees of type "cashier" that haven't been fired.
I tried this
IEnumerable<XElement> CashierElements = from el in xDoc.Root.Descendants("employees")
where (string)el.Attribute("type")=="cashier"
&& (string)el.Element("stats").Attribute("fired") != null
select el;
But that returns entries where the fired attribute doesn't exist. I'm not even sure I can reference the stats element attribute in this way but VS2013 doesn't complain about it.
I have managed to muddle past by using two linq selections, the one above without the stats comparison followed by a second on the results that checks for "fired" being null.
How would I achieve this with one select statement?
Thanks!

Hi,
1) Your XML contains the attribute "fired" on "employee" element. Your query search this attribute on the "stats" element.
2) you say "that haven't been fired" by you search an attribute fired != null ? I'm not sure about your logic.
If I understand your request, your LINQ Query is more than :
IEnumerable<XElement> CashierElements =
// Loop on <employees>
from emps in xDoc.Root.Descendants("employees")
// only 'cashier' type
where (string)emps.Attribute("type") == "cashier"
// Loop on <employee> in filtered <employees>
from emp in emps.Elements("employee")
// only the employee not fired
where emp.Attribute("fired") == null
// select the employee element
select emp;

Characteristic attribute does not show correctly on BEx Web Analyzer

Hello everyone!
I'm working on a report in BEx Web Analyzer wich has the characteristic 0EMPLOYEE. When I call the context menu for this characteristic and select properties, I get a list of it's attributes. I select one of them for display.
The problem is, the value shown is not the correct one. It's an "old" value.
I change the employee's attribute in R/3 via PA30;
I succesfully update the change in BW (0EMPLOYEE master data);
The value shown is the previous one.
Is there any buffer between the BW system and a BEx Web Analyzer query wich I need to force-clear in order to see the correct data?
Best Regards,
Luís Andrade.

Thanks for your response!
It was a buffer issue. I solved it by simply refreshing the query with different selection conditions to force the system to read data from the BW system.
Best Regards,
