Hi,
You are trying to filter in query output or workbook. If workbook refresh the workbook once after it is opened and go for filter.
You can filter by right clicking any of the free characteristic and choosing select filter value.
or Do you have problem in setting filter in query designer.

Change the order of Free Characteristics in Context Menu

Hi Experts,
I execute a query on the Web Browser and right click on a cell (to see the Context Menu). I choose 'Change DrillDown' -> 'DrillDown By' and get a list of Free Characteristics.
However, the order in which the free characteristics appear in the Context Menu does not match the order of the Free Characteristics shown in the Navigation Pane (on the left side of the report).
This does not happen in BEx Analyzer (Excel), but only in the Web Browser.
I would like to know how to change the order of these characteristics in the context Menu.
Your solutions on this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Shruti

Hi Shruti,
I am also using BEx Web analyser and I can see the same order as in the left pane when I select the Drilldown by
I think you might have used the Free Characteristics and when you want to exchange them/drag them back you may be having issue
Us drag and drop for the navigation. Generally,dropping one element over another exchanges them & Dropping out an element removes it from that place
Hope this helps

Crystal Report-BW Query free characteristics missing

Hello,
I am working on a crystal report against BW query, I am using SAP menu to build the report. I see that free characteristics not coming into the crystal report.
Question1: Is this an issue or is it designed to work this way?
Question2: As an alternative for this In BW query I have changed all the free characteristics into rows, now I am able to see all the fields but the data is becoming flat, when I try to role up the data for cretain fields it does not work correctly. Example: Role up of Rates (%). With database delegation option in webi role up work fine there but what about in crystal?
Thanks

Hi,
you are most likely using the old driver. make sure in the Settings in the SAP Toolbar you activate the option to use the MDX Driver.

URGENT::Regarding Free Characteristics.

Hi All,
I have some free characteristics like sec cost center 1 and sec cost center 2 in a query.
And a primary cost center and multiple cost center flag(this will be set to "Y" when there is a sec cost center corresponding to this primary cost center) in rows.
In the report I want to view only primary cost center and multiple cost center flag. When the flag is 'Y', the user can click on the flag which in turn should display the secondary cost centers.
Please help me out to implement this logic.
Quick help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Anjum.

I think that may be fine. There are some threads out here that talk about people having issues with x number of free chars...it might be good to look at those as well.

Hi,
Go to the definition of a Master Data Object. In its Attributes tab, there is a column of navigation on/off. There you can either swith on or off the attribute as a navigational attribute. After converting into navigational attribute, you can see the type column is changes to "NAV" from "DIS".
Hope this helps.

Grouping Free Characteristics in Query Designer?

Hello,
I have a couple reports that per busniess have many free characteristics. So many that that they do not fit on one page and you must continue scrolling the page down to view all. This makes the report look sloppy but the business owner wants all of these free characteristics. I'm looking for a way to clean up the list of free characteristics without removing any selections. Can they be grouped up or consolidated through Query Designer or WAD?
Thank You,
Alex

Hi Alex,
Actually use of free characteristic will not slow down the report performance rather free characteristics are used to enable the user for dynamic drilldown and to improve the query performance for initial output display.
What you can suggest your users is to keep only required free characteristics and then remove the rest of the characteristics and from grouping perspective all the free characteristics in query designer output are shown alphabetically so you can not manipulate the group in designer.

Durgesh.

How to select more than one free characteristics in web report?

Hi,
From the performance point of view, I want to select more than one free characteristics to be displayed in WEB report.
I know in BEx Analyzer, we can do this by right mouse click and choose' query property' from the context menu, all the free characteristics are displayed in the popup window. But in WEB report these free char don't displayed in the 'query property' popup window.
Could anyone tell me how to implement this in WEB report?
Eileen

Hi,
each free characteristics in the list has two functions beside it, 'drilldown in rows' and 'drilldown in columns', but this functions as select only one free characteristics, each time you select one, the report will be loaded again.
if I want to select like 10 free characteristics, the report will be refreshed and reloaded 10 times.
my question is that how can I select these 10 free characteristics once to improve the performance.
your help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Free busy issue outlook 2010

I am sorry if i am posting this in the wrong place.
We have exchange 2010 sp3 in 3 sites ( US , UK and Africa)
Users in UK start complaining they are not able to See free busy of US users but can see free busy of UK and African users.
We later identified this could be due to the more no of groups which result in increased token size, so we removed 1 users couple of group membership and he was able to see free busy of other users in US.
Then we have done a registry change in all CAS server to set MAX token zize
Create the following registry keys on all CAS servers ( Exchange Server 2010 SP1 CAS servers) in the Active Directory site:
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters
Name: MaxFieldLength
Type: DWORD
Value data: 65534
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters
Name: MaxRequestBytes
Type: DWORD
Value date: 16777216
But now users start complaining that they now cant see free busy of africa and US users, This affected only 5 users and all user outlook 2010.
P.S: No luck with OWA also for these users.
Please suggest.

First check free busy issue does exist in OWA, if its not affected in OWA and only in outlook follow
steps below
have you tried with start--> run --> "Outlook.exe /cleanfreebusy" switch
try the below step also.
Start Outlook.
Hold down the Ctrl key, right-click the Outlook icon in the notification area, and then click

Verify that the correct email address is in the

Click to select the

Problem with the display sequence of free characteristics in Bex Analyzer

Hello,
I want to display free characteristics in particular sequence in Bex Analyzer.
I have arranged free characteristics in particular sequence in bex designer but while executing the report from analyzer
free characteristics are not getting displayed in the sequence in which i wanted to display it in query output.
Could you please let me know what setting needs to be done in order to display free characteristics in required sequence in bex analyzer.
Regards,
Sanjay

Hi Sanjay:
Please observe that the sequence of Characteristics in BEx Analyzer is Alphabetic (in ascending order), I faced a similar situation once and I solved it by adding a prefix to the Characteristic Name at the query level, for example.
Customer
Distribution Channel
Division
Month
Sales Organization
Year
Could be sorted this way.
A01. Year
A02. Month
B01. Sales Organization
B02. Distribution Channel
B03. Division
C01. Customer

Francisco Milán.

Can we add display characters to Free characteristics

hi Gurus,
I have a some material display attribute in the report and customer wants to add these display characters to free characteristics so that he wants to drill down with other charcters like plant. Can we add directly in query defination or do we need to convert to navigational attribute and then add as a free characteristics.
Regards,
Preety

Its not possible, even if you make navigational the parent char dta will only be coming.
If you are sure that the other char data will have same value for those attr,then go ahead and create nav.
If not you need to include those attr in the cube.
Hope its clear
Cheers,
Shana

Order of free characteristics in standard webtemplate

Hi Gurus,
i created a query with query designer. In Excel anything is fine. Also the order of the free characteristics in the navigation panel on the left side is as defined in query. But if i start the query in web i got a problem. In web the order of the free characteristics in the navigation pane is alphabetically and not as defined in the query designer. Any ideas?
Regards,
Adem

Hey,
I guess it's problematic. Since you wanna still have the standard web template general, you cant fix the sequence you like by changing it.
I don't think it's possible.
The only way is to create a new web template in which u have the correct sequence and than running the web template instead of the query.

Cant see the free characteristics in the work book?

Hi all,
I have added the free characteristics in the workbook, but cant see those free characteristics in the workbook!!
How to see the free characteristics in the workbook!!
Thanks

hi pooja,
just open your query in Bex Analyzer,
there u will find three buttons above the data table display.
then when u will click on Filter tab, u will get all the free characteristics and variables used in your query.
then u can go to workbook, switch to design mode and make them visible,
may be at the time of creation of workbook, it(filter) would have been removed and saved as workbook.
hope this will help u
thanks

Ravi.

Karthik ,
Yes I am seeing an additional paranthesis in Webi SQL query.
For example plz consider the product table below,
SELECT
Product.ID,
Product.Name
FROM Product
WHERE
Product.Name IN ( @Prompt('4) Name:','C','Product\Name-M',multi,free) )
As a work around in Custom SQL, If I remove the paranthesis the below query is running fine in webi
SELECT
Product.ID,
Product.Name
FROM Product
WHERE
Product.Name IN @Prompt('4) Name:','C','Product\Name-M',multi,free)
But I want a permanent solution.
