Explorer InfoSpaces on HANA Views - column label changes cause issues?

Key question is – do simply label changes in HANA view cause issues with Explorer InfoSpaces? Furthermore, on source view changes, does the InfoSpace also need to be adjusted?
What we have observed is this
1. InfoSpaces have been created using the “SAP HANA appliance” connection highlighted below. The corresponding “Home” screen is shown below that, so there are around 14 or so InfoSpaces that should be available.
2. Yesterday, there was a production deployment that contained some changes to the underlying views in the form of label changes (not column name changes).
3. Now, in the “Manage” screen we cannot see these same 14 InfoSpaces available under the expected connection. Instead, they are all available under the “Source Unavailable” node with the default action of “Change Source” shown.
Additionally, we are seeing some strange behavior where certain facets are actually containing the wrong data. For example, in a facet/column called “Source Type”, where the expected values are “NBP or PBP”, we are seeing Material numbers like “00001112453”. This leads me to believe that there is a mapping issue under the covers.
Thanks,
Justin

Our BOE Explorer is Version: 14.1.1 Build: 1072 - I’m not sure how this corresponds with your 69.01 to 74 numbers (release note numbers?).
But it sounds identical to your description.
One of our observations: if we change the sorting on a facet pane using the upper right sort control the values are corrected for a while, at least until we change a measure and the set of facets get updated with the miss-mapped values again. This only occurs on some models and we haven’t been able to determine what the underlying criteria might be that aggravates the problem.
Thanks for your input – it helps us determine a viable path forward.
Cheers,
Tony

Hana view column descriptions are not showing in Crystal 2013

Hello All,
I have a hana calculation view which has the column name and label defined perfectly. When I use the HANA view in Crystal Report 2013, the column labels are not showing up in the field explorer even after enabling the show both name and description. Please help.

hi

How can I set a view columns labels

Hi,
I would like to set the column titles in a table based on a view. (For internationalization purpose )
In a Swing - ADF - 10g application
regards,
Lucian.

You can set the Control hints in the BC4J layer.
1. Open your ViewObject.
2. On the left hand side, expand the Attribute node.
3. Highlight the attribute for which you'd like to change the title
4. On the right hand side select the Control Hints tab
5. "Label Text" should be the title and "Tooltip test" should be the text which pops up if you hover your mouse over an item.

Column Value change in BO report vs HANA calculation view

Hi,
We are having BO reports on Standard hana views.
We have some columns in calculation view as below in Hana studio
Column Name Column Purpose
1.Cost Center---(Gives cost center number)
2.Cost center Name--(Gives description of cost center )
3.Cost Element-which --(Gives cost center number)
4.Cost Element Name-(Gives description of cost center)
when we preview the data with these coulumns in hana studio there are giving the result as specified above.
But if I run the report in BO using the above 4 columns ,I could see only descriptions for all the four columns as below
1.Cost Center---(Gives description of cost center)
2.Cost center Name--(Gives description of cost center )
3.Cost Element-which --(Gives description of cost center)
4.Cost Element Name-(Gives description of cost center)
As per our requirement we should get numbers for cost center and cost element.
I have observed in semantics that cost center and cost element have label columns mapped to them as below
cost center has labelcolumn as costcenter name
cost element has labelcolumn
Please see the attached file . Is this happend because of the labelcolumn mapping
we want the cost center and cost element to be displayed as numbers only. Please suggest me on this.
Thanku

Hi Chandra,
TEXT is coming because you have defined as "Label Column" . In HANA, Data preview the column names will only come but not "Descriptions".
What is your reporting tool? If it is AO, have a look on the below blog:

How can i change the column label text in a alv table display

how can i change the column label text in a alv table display??
A similar kinda of question was posted previuosly where the requirement was the label text was needed and following below code was given as solution :
* declare column, settings, header object
DATA: lr_column TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column.
DATA: lr_column_settings TYPE REF TO if_salv_wd_column_settings.
DATA: lr_column_header type ref to CL_SALV_WD_COLUMN_HEADER.
get column by specifying column name.
lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'COLUMN_NAME1' ).
set Header Text as null
lr_column_header = lr_column->get_header( ).
lr_column_header->set_text( ' ' ).
My specific requirement is i have an input field on the screen and i want reflect that value as the column label for one of the column in the alv table. I have used he above code with slight modification in the MODIFYVIEW method of the view since it is a process after input. The component gets activated without any errors but while run time i get an error stating
"The following error text was processed in the system CDV : Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible."
i have checked in debugging and the error occured at the statement :
lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'CURRENT_YEAR' ).Please can you provide me an alternative for my requirement or correct me if i have done it wrong.
Thanks,
Suri

I found it myself how to do it. The error says that it is not able to find the reference object i.e it is asking us to refer to the table. The following piece of code will solve this problem. Have to implement this in WDDOMODIFYVIEW method of the view. This thing works comrades enjoy...
DATA : lr_cmp_usage TYPE REF TO if_wd_component_usage,
 lr_if_controller TYPE REF TO iwci_salv_wd_table,
 lr_cmdl TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_config_table,
 lr_col TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column.
DATA : node_year TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,

DATA: lr_column TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column.
DATA: lr_column_header TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column_header.
DATA: lr_column_settings TYPE REF TO if_salv_wd_column_settings.
Get the entered value from the input field of the screen
node_year = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'IMPORTING_NODE' ).
elem_year = node_year->get_element( ).
elem_year->get_attribute(
 EXPORTING
 name = 'IMPORT_NODE-PARAMETER'
 IMPORTING
 value = L_IMPORT_PARAM ).
WRITE L_IMPORT_PARAM TO lf_string.
Get the reference of the table
lr_cmp_usage = wd_this->wd_cpuse_alv( ).
IF lr_cmp_usage->has_active_component( ) IS INITIAL.
 lr_cmp_usage->create_component( ).
ENDIF.
lr_if_controller = wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv( ).
lr_column_settings = lr_if_controller->get_model( ).
get column by specifying column name.
IF lr_column_settings IS BOUND.
 lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'COLUMN_NAME').
set Header Text as null
 lr_column_header = lr_column->get_header( ).
 lr_column_header->set_text( lf_string ).
endif.

Changing datasheet view column width prompts for logon

Hello - I have a SharePoint 2010 farm at work that we are having undesirable logon prompts on at times. A reproducible example is the datasheet view of any library in our site. When a user switches from standard view to datasheet view & then resizes
a column, a logon dialogue box pops up. They can enter their username or cancel - either way they are allowed to continue. This occurs the first time the user tries to make a change to the column width, but not on subsequent attempts. If the view is reloaded
& they attempt to change the width again the logon box pops up again. Users only have read-only access to the view, so they cannot modify it. The 'Modify View' control in the ribbon bar is greyed out.
Background info: Clients are using Windows 7 SP1, Internet Explorer 10 (in compatibility view mode), and MS Office Pro Plus 2010 SP2. SharePoint is 2010 SP1 & June 2011 CU V1 (I know, we need to patch). The site is setup to use NTLM integrated authentication.
All PCs are configured via GPO to add the site to the local Intranet zone. The intranet zone is configured via GPO with medium-low settings & automatic logon in the intranet zone. I have verified the GPO propagation to client PCs and verified that
IE settings are correct for windows integrated authentication to take place.
Any help is appreciated
~james

I am thinking this behavior is not by design. In my environment this is what happens:
A standard user (no modify view rights) changes a column width & gets prompted for credentials. It does not matter what they do - cancel, use own credentials, or use someone else's credentials (with modify rights) - the results are the same.
The view is not changed for everyone, just the local user. The change only applies to the current page load.
Users with modify view rights see no logon prompt.
I just installed Office 2013 with my test VM & the unwanted logon prompt is gone. My opinion is this is an unresolved issue with the Access Web Datasheet, 2010-version active-x plugin. It appears to have been fixed with Access 2013.
I'm going to do some more testing, but this is looking like another reason for an upgrade to Office 2013.
I tried changing the compatibility view settings, user agent string, Browser Mode, and Document Mode. None of the different combinations I tried had any effect on the logon prompt issue.
Any other ideas?
thanks

ITunes view columns - changes are not saved

Hello there,
When I make changes to the column size in the iTunes list view; like title, artist, album title ... it does not seem to save, regardless if I am on the iPhone list view, shared library list view, local music view, etc. When I close iTunes and open it again, it is often reset to the default settings. Where are these defaults settings defined? The default settings that it resets to, are those that came the way iTunes was first install, but how can I save these column size changes?
Thanks for all and any replies.
- Applies to my Windows iTunes and Mac iTunes.

Power View Enhancement Request - Allow for columns to drop off PowerView when column name changes in data model instead of rendering the PowerView inaccessible

Currently in PowerView, if a column name changes in the tabular model, and that column is being used in a PowerView chart, the PowerView will become inaccessible.
It would be nice if it functioned similar to Pivot Table. If a column name changes for a column that is being used in a Pivot Table, the field is just removed from the chart, and the user can select the newly named column.

Hi plantm,
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it. After we change a column name which is used in a Power View chart, Power view will render the message that” The external data connection has been disabled for this Power View report. Please enable
the connection.” when we reopen the file.
To fix this issue, we can click Refresh button under POWER VIEW menu, then it would prompt us that” Power View was not able to complete the action due to a query failure. This can happen if the structure of your data has changed, in which case closing and
re-opening the application will resolve the problem.”
According to the error message, we should try to reopen the file to fix this issue. Power view will render the message that” Please refresh to see the data for this Power View Sheet. You can set properties in the Connection Properties dialog so that the
data refreshes automatically when you open the file.” when we reopen the file. Then we can refresh it again, the report will be displayed without that field.
Based on my research, inherently what the message means is that Power View cannot be used as a tool for snapshot reporting. With an Excel PivotTable, we can see the data last saved in the PivotTable. Power View, however, does not behave the same way – it
won’t render the last saved state. If we want to avoid this message when we reopen the file, there are two methods:
When we create the Power View report, we can select the checkbox that “Refresh data when opening the file”.
After it’s been set up, go to Connections on the Data menu, then choose Properties.
For more details about the settings, we can refer to the following blog:
http://www.sqlchick.com/entries/2013/3/30/creating-a-power-view-report-in-excel-2013-which-uses-an-ext.html
Hope this helps.

HANA Live Content views column mapping to SAP tables document | SAP HANA Live for SAP ERP Finance Reports | Hana Live RDS

I am searching for HANA Live Content views column mapping to SAP tables document. Please let me know where can I find it.

Hi Srinivas,
I guess this is the same question as the one about the SD content, so my answer is the same:
if you have access to the HANA Live RDS documentation which comes as part of the so called Step-by-Step Guide you can find a document RDS_SHL_HANA10V5_Technical_Content_Mapping_EN_XX.xls in the folder structure. To get to this file you need to drill down this path:..RDS SBS Guides\HANA Live\V5\Serv_Enabled\RDS
In that file you find all the tables used in all the RDS content.

Change Bridge Default List View Columns

I only view specific image information and am continually moving the list view column headers around.
Is there a way that you can set the default list view columns to display only what you need?

Is there a way that you can set the default list view columns to display only what you need?
You can create your own custom workspaces using the triangle next left to the search field top right Bridge window and choose new workspace.
First you have to define your workspace by resizing or moving the panels to other locations (grab a panel tab and it will be surrounded by bleu lines, move to other location. A horizontal line means as a row in a column. A vertical line creates a column (max 3) and a surrounding line puts it in the same location as an extra tab.
Use either menu view / list or use the default Metadata workspace that also shows list view.
You can right click on the title of the column in list view and from the sub menu choose to insert or close certain columns. This is rather limited in options and the name column can't be altered at all (logically I would think…)
Try playing around and when satisfied save it as new workspace and you can always revert to it by clicking on the workspace name and sometimes also needing to use the reset workspace button (workspaces are still far from perfect but in its current state also proved to be very useful).

Column name changes in Admin to desktop

I've already created several reports. They all have a column that has the same label. I want to change the label without going into each report and changing to what it should be. I changed the source column label in Admin but it doesn't automatically update the column names in the reports that use this column. I thought this would be the quickest and most intuitive method but it hasn't worked...is there another way besides tediously opening each report and renaming the columns?

I am pretty sure you will have to edit each report. It is annoying, but it makes sense. Suppose there is a folder with an item "User". Some reports are created using "User" as a column heading. Other reports have a different audience or purpose, so "User" gets a heading of "Employee", "Reported By", or something else. When the folder item gets changed to "User Name", Disco does not automatically assume that this is a blanket change across all instances. If it did, then you'd have to go into those places where the worksheet column was purposely changed to something else, and change it back.
The SQL Inspector shows a close approximation of what Disco is going to run. The column labels have no meaning in the database, as they can be different from the actual column names in tables, views, and material views. The SQL Inspector allows you to take the code Disco is going to run, and use it in another tool for diagnosing problems, so having the labels in the statement would defeat this purpose.

WHY HANA VIEW ARE GIVING BAD PERFORMANCE IN DASHBOARD THEN TABLE

Dear Experts ,
I have created a dashboard on top of HANA view.
Scenario 1
HANA view is taking 3 seconds to fetch data in HANA studio .
When we create dashboard on that view, the dashboard is taking around 50sec.
Report has around 10 queries.
Scenario 2
Then we insert data into a table from same above view .
HANA table is taking 10 ms to fetch data in HANA studio .
When we create the same dashboard on that table, the report is taking
around 4 Seconds.
Report has around 10 query.
You may raise finger on dashboard tool. But by only converting view to table dashboard is giving good performance .
Please suggest what should we use Table or View for reporting tool ????
Only performance matter to Users and that's why we have taken HANA.
Thanks
Anupam.

"When you use attribute view in calculation view, hana will first build the attribute view first it will process all the data from memory in attribute view and then only will proceed with the calculation view."
That's actually completely false.
Attribute views are not materialized in full every time an Analytic View is queried. On the contrary, only the joins/materialization required to fulfill the query are performed. I have rolled out Analytic views with 50+ attribute views joined to them, if every one was built every time the AV was used, that would be a disaster.
An attribute view is fully executed if you query it directly with SQL, but the behavior changes when used in an AV.
Quick observation in good faith of my statement.
Query an analytic view with one column from a joined attribute view (Material - MARA)
SELECT "PAPH1", SUM("VVREV")
FROM "_SYS_BIC"."Main.Analytics.CO/AN_COPA"
WHERE "PERIO_T" = '2013010'
GROUP BY "PAPH1"
Only one join is executed to the fact table
Query an analytic view with one column from a joined attribute view (Material - MARA), plus another column from a joined table (T179T) inside the attribute view (snowflaked dimension).
SELECT "PAPH1", "VTEXT_1", SUM("VVREV")
FROM "_SYS_BIC"."Main.Analytics.CO/AN_COPA"
WHERE "PERIO_T" = '2013010'
GROUP BY "PAPH1", "VTEXT_1"
Only two joins are executed; one to the snowflaked dimension and one to the fact table
So even though I am issuing a query against an AV with a very large number of dimensions, only what is needed is actually executed.
Happy HANA,
Justin

Show Section column labels only once

Hello,
I have a pivot view with few columns in "SECTION" area of the view. i want the column labels to just show once.
Is that possible or should i use different "view".
Please help me...
Thanks
Kiran

kiran, why are you trying to achieve this? There is a reason why column headers appear with each change in section. What you are asking for is bad report design in my opinion. What happens if the report goes to a second page? The column headers would be gone and the user wouldn't be able to tell what the columns mean without going back to the first page?
But if you insist, here's how you can achieve the effect, since you can't do it out-of-the-box.
Let's say that you have a column called "Company" that you are putting in the "Section" area. You want your report sectioned by company, yet you don't want the column headers to appear after each change in company, yes? Okay, then do this:
1) In Criteria, ensure that the "Company" column is in "Suppression" (Click on Column Properties, then on Column Format tab...)
2) In Pivot Table view, leave the "Company" column in the Rows section, click on the "sigma sign" and choose "Before."
3) Click on the "sigma sign" one more time and click on "Labels Only (no totals)."
Now you have the effect of sectioning without the column headers... That should do it.

Authorization Issue while Data Preview from HANA View

Hi Experts,
We are using BW on HANA. We have created DSOs (info provider) in BW and generated HANA views from there. We have also created analysis authorizations in BW for authorization relevant characteristics. In HANA, we are able to go to the generated analytic view and preview the data from it successfully.
Now I have created a test user and assigned a custom role with below authorizations to this user in HANA:
- bw2hana/../REPORTING role (this role is automatically created by activation of DSO in BW).
- Roles MODELING, MONITORING, CONTENT_ADMIN, USER.
- Multiple system privileges although not needed, like REPO.EXPORT, REPO.IMPORT, etc.
- Analytic Privilege _SYS_BI_CP_ALL
- Package Privilege: REPO.READ for all required packages (tried with ROOT package also).
In BW system also, the test user has analysis authorizations providing access to the relevant info objects.
But when I am trying to preview data for HANA view, I am getting attached error (also listed below):
"Cannot get the data provider outline
SAP DBTech JDBC: [2048]: Column store error: Search table error: [2950] user is not authorized"
I tried to trace the situation is HANA and got below details in 2 trace files:

Do you know what this "Error during converting SqlAPs to Query entries" actually means"? How can we resolve this issue? The authorization is working properly for our user ids. But we need to provide restricted access for business users so trying to create test user and custom role.
Thanks
Nitesh Gupta

Hi Pinaki and Prabhith,
Yes, my issue was resolved. Sorry, missed to updated here.
I was just a beginer for BW on HANA Security at that time and didn't know many small things. The solution was pretty simple.
Whenever you assign analysis authorizations to a user in BW, you also need to generate corresponding HANA authorization. This is done through tcode RS2HANA_CHECK tcode. This tcode converts BW analysis authorizations into HANA analysis authorizations and assign to the HANA user. You can see generated HANA authorization table RS2HANA_AUTH_STR in both BW and HANA.
Once the HANA authorizations are successfully generated for a user, he should be able to see data from Views.
Let me know if this solves issues. Then I will close this thread.
Thanks
