Help adding navigational attribute to IC

Hi all,
i'm adding a new nagigational attr. to a characteristic, i checked it on an already existing and loaded InfoCube. Then when opening an existing query the new nav. attr. appears so i add it to the free characteristics. I can save the query and everything looks fine, but when i run the query it shows an error saying that the nav. attr. doesn't exist on the InfoCube.
how can i solve this ?
i already tried exiting query designer and entering again, even doing the same on BW.
thx in advance

hi,
u need to select and activate nav attr in cube..
goto cube edit mode> select char tab> select Nav attr tab button click on it-->select ur nav attr 'tick mark' --> activate ur cube..
hope this solves

Adding navigational attributes to a cube

We have upgraded to BW 7.3. Previously when we added navigational attributes to a cube we need to activate the update rules from the ods but now it appears that we don't need to do that anymore. Is this the expected behavaior? We are using the 3.5 update rules.
thanks

HI,
If you are using 3.5, after selecting nav attr in the cube, the cube structure gets deactivated. The dependent update rules also gets deactivated. You will be forced to activate all again.
In BW 7.3, SAP would have given privilege to add without activation. It is good for us. So nothing to worry.

"Error determining attribute" after adding navigational attribute to query

Hello all,
We are getting a "Error Error determining attribute, Abort System error in program SAPLRRK0 and form RSRDR;SRRK0f30-01-" error message when running a query after adding a navigational attribute. We tried adding the attribute of the characteristic directly in the query and this works ok. But when we try using the navigational attribute we get the error. We would like to use the navigational attribute so we can filter based on this attribute.
We've searched for notes regarding this problem and haven't found any. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Ron

hi,
Please check if number of the fields after adding the Navigationl attribute the should not cross 50.
Check the RSRV test for the master data whose navigational attribute u r trying to add.
Thanks

Adding navigational attribute in Info Object.

My staging layer is as below.
Data source1-> DSO1
Data source2-> DSO1
Data Source 3->DSO1
From DSO1 : there are 3 Transformaitons.
DSO -> Info Object “ABC”
DSO1- > DSO2.
DSO1 -> DSO3.
That means. DSO1 , is supplying data to ABC info object and 2 more DSO's.
I need to Enhance Data Source 1, with Field “X” add it in DSO and then add that field in Navigational attribute of IO “ABC.
I dont need this field “X” in DSO2 and DSO3.
Question :
1) I want to understand its effect on Transformations if I add field in DSO1.
Data source2-> DSO1
Data Source 3->DSO1.
DSO1- > DSO2.
DSO1 -> DSO3.
2) Will all these be inactive ( assuming yes, )
     a. Do I need to retransport all the transformations.
     b.And if Yes, I assume we need to transport DTP’s too.
3) Does adding of navigational attribute affect any other Cubes and DSO or transformations ,containing the main Info Objects. "ABC"..
Note: This new navigational attribute is not used in any of the old cubes. it wil be used in new design.

hI,
1. If add any field to DSO1, then incoming and outgoing transformations will go inactive.
2. a. Yes.
    b. Yes.
3. No, but info ABC object transformations may go inactive.
Thanks

DSO Activation Fails after adding navigational attribute

hi Gurus
I have created a object A using Object B as reference and added Object A into Object C as navigation attribute.
Now my object D which is referenced to Object C also has this object A as attribute and i change to navigational attribute here.
When i try to turn on nav. attribute check box in DSO then DSO activation fails (Error - DS Object Object D__Object A (Master data check) does not exist} and therefore i cant add it as free char. in report. Though i am getting the data in report if i keep dnt turn on nav. attribute option in DSO and activate it.
Thanks
BIT

Hi
Make sure your object A has master data check box checked. For this your referenced object B should have master data check.

Hi Phani,
And one more thing there are aggregates for the infocube , which i made changes ( Adding of attributes) in the quality system . Does this make any diff .......
--> Yes it makes difference. As you are changing CUBE by adding navigational attributes.
Try to deactive/switch off aggregates and reimport request and check. And also transport aggregates.
Hope it Helps

Need help on Authorization on Navigational Attribute.

Hi All,
I am working on Authorizations.
I am using the info Object "Material group" which is the Navigational Attribute of 0MATERIAL.
In Reporting, I have created the Authorization Variable for Material group.
And after this, i have created the Authorization Object in RSECADMIN and added the info Object "Material group" and harded coded the value as "1000". After this, i have created the Authorization Role in PFCG and added this authorization Object over there.And this role is assigned specific User.
While Running the report on specific User, for Material group, filteration is not happening over there (Material group = 1000). It is showing all values for this user.
Can you please help on this issue.
Thanks,
Shahina A

Thanks for your reply. I was on leave for the past 2 days. I have checked as you suggested.
In 0MATERIAL, 0MATL_GROUP is the attribute and i have made Authorization Relvent for this Attribute.
And i activated the Info object 0MATERIAL.
Then i have run the query in RSRT and found an error while running the Report.
Can u pls help on this issue.
Diagnosis
The system determined the authorized characteristic values for the characteristic 0MATERIAL__0MATL_GROUP. It determined that you do not have the (analysis) authorization to view transaction data for any characteristic values or range.
System Response
If this situation occurs when a variable is being filled, the query cannot be executed.
Procedure
You must have authorization for at least one characteristic value for the characteristic 0MATERIAL__0MATL_GROUP.
Create the appropriate analysis authorizations for the user.
If you are only authorized for evaluations that aggregate using the characteristic 0MATERIAL__0MATL_GROUP (for ":" authorizations), use a query without this characteristic. If the characteristic is not used as a filter or in the drilldown, variables should not be used.

Help with use if navigational attributes in ABAP code

Hi!
I have a question for you all. I have a master data object called SC_PRIO, that have an attributes called "IN_DEADL". The attributes is sett to "navigational attributes, and are showing its value when I look at the data content of the DSO.
I would like to use the value from the attributes "IN_DEADL" in the formula describe under, but it will not work when like this. I have defined it like this "COMM_STRUCTURE-/BIC/IN_DEADL", but it failes. Anyone that can help me? There has to be something special when using attributes from a master data infoobjects....
DATA:
l_duration LIKE COMM_STRUCTURE-/BIC/INC_DUR_D.
l_duration = COMM_STRUCTURE-/BIC/INC_DUR_D / 3600.
IF l_duration > COMM_STRUCTURE-/BIC/IN_DEADL.
RESULT = 'BROKEN'.
ELSE.
RESULT = 'NOT BROKEN'.
ENDIF.

Hello Helge,
Can you please tell me if the InfoObject IN_DEADL is user defined/Custom. If it is custom only then your case is bound to work. If it is Std IO, then you need to remove the '/BIC/' and just use the IO name.
Eg : IF l_duration > COMM_STRUCTURE-IN_DEADL.
Also if it is an attribute of someother IO and is not present in the communication strucuture you need to get it from the master data table of the Original IO.

i have a 0BATCH_0PLANT navigational attribute , i want to find out , where it has been used in the all the queries .
Thanks ,

Nav-attribute will also be see as a attribute in the system search for it and click on where used list of it.
Search for the Info object 0BATCH_0PLANT. double click on it -- click on the where used list of the nav-attribute.
It will display all the dependent objects where its used.
With this you can get the IC,DSO,MP names where this object is used. next with the help of those MP,IC and DSO you can get the list of queries.

How to show data for navigational attribute in a report ?

Hello all,
I have a hierarchy info object A which has a navigational attribute(hierarchy) B. I need to filter on B for a particular node.
I have added A in the filter column and selected B as the attribute. How can i restrict B for a particular hierarchy node ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
S N

Hi,
Have you defined 'B' as Navigational attribute at InfoProvider Level?
You can Restrict B for a Particular Value once it is defined as Navigational attribute at InfoProvder level.
Go to InfoProvider maintaince>click 'nav attributes'>enable it (check the box).activate the InfoProvider.
Then you can see it under same dimension where 'A' is assigned and its name would be A_B.
Drag and drop in to rows and restrict(include/exclude) with required value.
thanks

Virtual infoprovider with services - Navigational attributes

Hi all,
I have a basic cube in BI system- X , and created a virtual cube in another BI system Y with services to read data from basic cube of BI system X . In BI system Y we built a report on virtual cube. This report (on virtual cube in BI system Y) is using a characteristics say Product group ( which is a navigational attributes of prodect in BI system X).
DataFlow is as under:
Basic cube in BI system X:
Product
Year
Amount
and Product group is switched on as navigational attributes in this basic cube.
Virtual cube in BI system Y:
Product group
Year
Amount
Report in BI system Y:
Product group in rows
Amount in column
This report is not working.
If I do the the following changes as follows then it works:
1.Use Product instead of product group in report
2. Switch off navigational attributes in basic cube.
We are in BW 3.5 and navigational attributes option is ticked on for virtual cube.
In summary, If I do not use navigational attributes in report and switch off navigational attributes from basic cube then report shows data.
Could you please help me to figure out the issue.
Thanks,
Harry

Thanks Naga,
Yes, I tried adding product in virtual cube as well but it did not work. Secondly, we do not want to add product in virtual cube because of data aggregation.
Most strange thing is that, once we switch on any navigational attributes on basic cube, function module stop working (paasing any data to virtual cube report). report says no appropriate data found. We are using sap standard function module "RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ_RFC". I debegged this code and no data in internal tables.
If we switch off all navigational attributes from basic/source cube this function module provide data to internal tables in code.
Why function module is behaving like that.
You guys experience/support/any clue will be appreciated highly.
Thanks,
Harry

How to add Navigation attributes values via ABAP while creation of CVC

Hi,
I have a requirement like, I have to add navigational attributes to the cvc record while CVC creation ( /sapapo/mc62 transaction).
There were two scenarios: 1. Usually when they load master data from BW side those navigation attributes available and when we do CVC creation it's automatically picks those values. If NOT then i have to bring Market segment and Business unit navigational attributes values from ECC via RFC function module by passing MPN and End customer division as a input.
I am facing problem when BW side if business unit and Market segment were blank.
Do we have any Function modules available to add navigational attributes data and should update corresponding master data tables.
Please help me step by step process on this.
Thanks
Ravi

Michael,
Are you intending this as a commercial solution or a work around?
To take an existing equivalent, one would build a view in the database tailored for each grid in an Oracle Forms application. Or a separate query layered over tables for each form/grid in a Delphi or Access application? Even if it is ninety nine percent the same over half a dozen forms/grids?
And now you've added a whole slew of "slightly different" rowSetInfos to maintain.
So if you wanted to add a column that needs to appear everywhere... you've just increased the workload multi-fold?
That would be a management nightmare, wouldn't it? Not to mention yet more performance cost and a slower system?
Hmmmm..... I'm not sure I like where this is headed... someone needs to do some convincing...

Authorization for navigational attribute

Hi Gurus,
I am facing an authorization issue with respect to infoobject hierarchy. I have created authorizations as below.
There one infoobject 'A' and a navigational attribute 'B' in infoobject 'A'. This navigational atribure A_B is used in an infocube. And hierarchy is uploaded to Infoobject 'B'. Now I want to give authorization for this hierarchy in infoobject 'B'.
Now coming to authorization.
1. I have made Infoobject 'B' as authorization relevant in Business explorer tab.
2. Created authorization object say ABC in RSSM and inculded infoobject 'B' & 0TCTAUTHH (since I want to authorize the hierarchy and we are using 3.5 authorization concepts in BI 7.0).
3. Activate this authorization object for the infocube.
4. Included this authorization object in the role included for my user. In the field 'B' of authorization object I have given ' ' (space) and in the field 0TCTAUTHH I have given the technical name of the hierarchy.
4. In 3.5 query designer I have put this navigational attribute A_B in the filter area and activated the hierarchy in the properties tab for the same hierarchy that I inculded in previous step.
5. Created a variable with processing type authorization.
Now when I run this report I get an error as no authorization for object ABC.
Can someone help me if I have done anything wrong.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi,
In the infoobject A maintenance screen check the chekc box for field "AuthorizRelevant" for B to make it authorization relevant navigational attribute.
Then go to RSECADMIN and ope your relevant authorization.
In the menu bar just above the "Authorization Structure" you will find the button with icon of infoobject.
Chick on this icon this will give you a screen to enter characteristic name of which attributes are to be added to authorization.
Enter the infoobject A name here and click on continue.
This will give you list of all authorization relevant navigational attributes present for A.
Add B from this list to the authorization.
Hope this helps.
