Helper tables

Hi gurus,
What are helper tables in OBIEE..is it same as Bridge tables?please explain me and in which case we use this helper tables?

Hi,
Helper tables are inserted between the fact and dimension tables to support a many-to-many (M:M) relationship between fact and dimension records

How to get search help tables of a specific table

Hello Guru,
I've a problem.
I'm looking for a way to find out how many "search help" tables exist in a specified Check Table.
Well, when I look for a check table of a field like MARD-LGORT
I got as a check table T001L, now when I read the data from it, using the function module RFC_READ_TABLE I got all the data that I need, except now that I don't know which fields are actually displayed in the search help table of the field LGORT
This what I want, in my case, the field that I need in the table T001L are : LGOBE LGORT WERKS
All the others, are not so important.
Please let me now, if you have an idea to find this.
The search help table is for LTGORT : H_T001L
Best Regards,
Kais

Kimball "helper table"

I've seen several queries in the forum that deal with multivalued dimensions. Sooner or later the "kimball" articles on "helper tables" or bridge tables are referenced, then the inevitable question .... "so how do I do a helper table in OWB" is asked.... but no one answers ... does that mean the answer is you can't have a help/bridge table in OWB?
I have an "organization" dimension, on some of my products the organizations share costs ... in the OLTP system that we're replacing this is handled similar to the "helper" table in that multiple cost records are assigned to the assets and the "weighted" value for each record has a validation to ensure they all sums to 1.
I think my options are:
1) force the dimension to have only one value (In my case this means change the business process which is not a valid solution)
2) Use a helper table (can't figure out if this is doable in OWB)
3) create a fact with multiple FKs back to the Organizations table (assumes a "fixed" number of multiple values for the dimension, don't really know what this upper limit is).
Any thoughts here would be appreciated.

While I haven't tried to directly create a bridge table in OWB, you CAN very easily create and maintain a bridge table in PL/SQL with OWB.
For example, I might have a location_dim with a pretty difficult ragged hierarchy that needs a bridge table for the proper joining into the fact table.
You can make a package to load the bridge for the first time, and them maintain this bridge table very easily. In a mapping, say the mapping that is population your location DIM, you can also call a PL/SQL package to kick off the loading of the bridge table when the location DIM map is completed. Then, every time the location DIM mapping is executed, it will call every time the bridge table's PL?SQL loading routine as well.
It's similar to the pre and post mapping operators and calls you can make in a mapping.
Just make sure your bridge table is already created and ready to go.
On another note, I would imagine doing this in a mapping can be done too. You really have to think logically though about what you truly need in the table.

EUL Modeling Question - Discoverer with Helper Tables.

Hello All,
I am interested in knowing if anyone has successful incorporated a helper table (or bridge table) from a star schema into a discoverer EUL and what steps they took to get this working correctly?
The helper table handles the complex hierarchies within data but am not sure how best to incorporate this into discoverer.

Hi
You can do this using a VPD. The easiest is to create one database account for each SSO user using the same username. Then the VPD policy will use an NVL of the SSO context with the database name to work out access.
This is not easy to set up and unless you have experience with a VPD you may need to get some help.
By the way, from the Discoverer side there is nothing to set up. This will all be handled by the database and by the functions that control access to the E-Business Suite objects. As a bit of advice I don't recommend setting the VPD profiles against the base tables as this will also be applied when folks log into EBS. What I have done is to create a database view against each table that I need to report against and then apply the security to the view. This way only Discoverer reporting will be secured.
You can create a view using something like: CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW V_table_name AS SELECT * FROM table_name
Does this help?

Using "helper" table to populate 2 different columns in same table

I have a table that contains two columns which use abbreviations that I would like to join to another "helper" table that expands on what these abbreviations mean. I would like to have my query show the full name for these abbreviations rather than the short name.
For example,
Table 1
Acronym Full Name
====== ======
MON Monday
TUE Tuesday
WED Wednesday
Table 2
Entry Day Due Day
====== ======
MON TUE
TUE WED
WED MON
I would like to create a query that will show:
Entry Day Due Day
====== ======
Monday Tuesday
Tuesday Wednesday
Wednesday Monday
I can get it to map one column but not both. Any help?

Assuming that you really need the acronym table (i.e. Oracle has functions to translate date related abbreviations),
SELECT a.full_name entry_date,
       b.full_name due_date
FROM table1 a,
       table1 b,
       table2 c
WHERE a.acronym = c.entry_day
   AND b.acronym = c.entry_dayJustin

How do i get tables to sit right on tip of the page window

You need to use css - add the following to your current
stylesheet,
body {margin:0; padding: 0;}
or in the head of your document, just before the closing
</head> tag
<style type="text/css">

Please help - table shift down on FF & Safari

Please help with my tables. Im using GL CS2 8.0.1
Objective: Would like my tables (e-commerce site) roughly 5px apart from one another.
Problem: On Firefox & Safari (MAC) there is a huge space between the cards in the browser. What is wrong with my code?
Link to test page: www.larchmontblvd.com/test.html
Thanks
Jesse

Maybe I need to be more specific...
If you look at the page, I've labeled my product cards "Title Card 1" & "Title Card 2". The problem is the spacing between Card 1 and Card 2 is different on Firefox and Safari. My goal is to have a 5 px space between the two cards.
Thanks,
Jesse

Would Appreciate Your Help - Tables Not Connecting/Pages Not Being Generated

Hi,
I have a recipes section in the site I'm building.
There are 7 categories from which a user can click on.
The first page of each category has a form on it for users to enter a new recipe. Once they've entered a new recipe, the title of it is shown above the form. Here's where the problem starts.
First category is desserts, and I entered two dummy titles as a trial run, Apple and Blueberry. No matter which title I click on, I am taken to the page for Apple. And the thing is, when I click on Blueberry, the url address shows Blueberry as the recipe ID. Which indicates to me that it's recognizing it, but not going to the recipe. What am I missing? Could someone please advise as to how I can have the necessary pages created?
There are two separate tables in my database, Recipes, and Categories. The second table was created after I made the SQL connection in Dreamweaver. Do I need to reestablish the connection, because of when the second table was created?
Thank you.
This is the SQL Join that I have on both the Main Desserts Page, and the one to which a recipe should appear on, Recipes Desserts:
$query = "SELECT title".
"FROM recipes, categories".
"WHERE recipes.cat_id = categories.cat_id";
"AND category = desserts";
Here's the code on the Main Desserts page:
<div id="background">
<div id="navbar2">
    <ul>
<li><a href="desserts.php">Desserts</a></li>
<li><a href="drinks.php">Drinks</a></li>
<li><a href="fowl.php">Fowl</a></li>
<li><a href="meat.php">Meat</a></li>
<li><a href="pasta.php">Pasta</a></li>
<li><a href="seafood.php">Seafood</a></li>
<li><a class="last" href="vegetables.php">Vegetables</a></li>
</ul>
    <p>
</div>
<div id="items">
<ol>
<?php do { ?>
<li><a href="recipesdesserts.php?recipeID=1<?php echo $row_GetRecipes['Title']; ?>"><strong><?php echo $row_GetRecipes['Title']; ?></strong></a></li>
<?php } while ($row_GetRecipes = mysql_fetch_assoc($GetRecipes)); ?>
</ol>
    <p><a href="<?php printf("%s?pageNum_GetRecipes=%d%s", $currentPage, max(0, $pageNum_GetRecipes - 1), $queryString_GetRecipes); ?>">Previous</a> Showing<?php echo ($startRow_GetRecipes + 1) ?>...<?php echo min($startRow_GetRecipes + $maxRows_GetRecipes, $totalRows_GetRecipes) ?> out of <?php echo $totalRows_GetRecipes ?> <a href="<?php printf("%s?pageNum_GetRecipes=%d%s", $currentPage, min($totalPages_GetRecipes, $pageNum_GetRecipes + 1), $queryString_GetRecipes); ?>">Next</a></p>
</div>
</div>

I'll try to paint a better picture.
I have two tables in the database.
First table is Recipes. The fields in this one are: Title, Ingredients, Prep, Serves.
Second table is Categories. The fields in this one are: Title, Desserts, Drinks, Fowl, Meat, Pasta, Seafood, Vegetables.
User 1 enters the following into the form:
Title: Apple Strudel
Ingredients: Apples, Flour, Water
Prep: Core and slice apples, etc.
Serves: 6
User 2 enters the following into the form:
Title: Blueberry Pie
Ingredients: Blueberries, Flour, Water
Prep: Wash blueberries, etc.
Serves: 6
Both titles now appear on the Main Desserts page, which is what I want. When a user clicks on the title, "Apple Strudel," they are taken to the page with that recipe on it. When a user clicks on the title, "Blueberry Pie," the ending of the URL address is recipesdesserts.php?recipeID=1Blueberry, but the page that's generated shows the recipe for the Strudel.
Does that help at all?
Thank you.

Quick Help Table GroupingValue

Urgent help- table input for RFC

Dear all,i have this following codes
a = Long.parseLong(wdContext.currentContextElement().getMat_doc_frm());
    b = Long.parseLong(wdContext.currentContextElement().getMat_doc_to());
    c = b-a + 1;
     Zbapi_Goodsmvt_Getdetail_Input stockitem = new Zbapi_Goodsmvt_Getdetail_Input();
    Zdocnum docnum = new Zdocnum();
for(int x = 1; x <= c; x++){
          docnum.setMat_Doc(String.valueOf(a));
         docnum.setDoc_Year(wdContext.currentContextElement().getYear());
         stockitem.addZdocnum(docnum);
         wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(docnum.getMat_Doc());
         wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(docnum.getDoc_Year());
          a = a+1;
    wdContext.nodeZbapi_Goodsmvt_Getdetail_Input().bind(stockitem);
     IWDMessageManager manager = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
          try {
                                     wdContext.currentZbapi_Goodsmvt_Getdetail_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
                                        } catch (WDDynamicRFCExecuteException ce) {
                                             manager.reportException(ce.getMessage(), false);
let said i key in the doc_num_frm as 5000002567 and doc_num_to as 5000002568,it seems that the stockitem.addZdocnum(docnum); only captur the last number which is 5000002568 for 2 times...it shd be 5000002567 and 5000002568..but now the data inside the stockitem for zdocnum is both oso 5000002568.. any idea why lead to this? thanks

Dear Joan,
Zdocnum docnum = new Zdocnum();
Write the above line of code within the for loop instead of outside as follows :
for(int x = 1; x <= c; x++){
Zdocnum docnum = new Zdocnum();
docnum.setMat_Doc(String.valueOf(a));
docnum.setDoc_Year(wdContext.currentContextElement().getYear());
stockitem.addZdocnum(docnum);
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(docnum.getMat_Doc());
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(docnum.getDoc_Year());
a = a+1;
What is going wrong is you are creating a reference of type ZDocnum, instantiating it, setting its values and adding it to the input list.
Next time when you set its values you are using the same reference without changing the instance it points to.
So a new element gets added no doubt but the values of the first element also get changed.
If you create a new instance every time you add an element to the list ,then this won't happen.
Try this and check.
Regards,
Mayuresh

HELP - Table Stand for 42 inch plasma

We bought a 42 inch plasma tv about five years ago. We wall mounted it and about a year ago we cleaned out the garage and through out the stand.
We are wanting to dismount the tv and place on a tv stand/cabinet. I searched the internet and can not find a replacement stand and our brand has been discontinued.
Does anyone have any ideas were we can find a stand or any ideas?

I don't know why I thought you mentioned it was a Samsung. I should sleep more and do this less. You can buy a tv stand that you can hang the tv on the back of the stand. Best Buy sells them from Whalen, Bello, Init.

Dynamic value help for a table field to fill two fields, how to?

Hi all gurus,
In SRM 7 I defined a dynamic value help for a single field (ZZ_PROLE_R3) of my header custom table.
That's the code from WDDOMODIFYVIEW in the webdynpro /SAPSRM/WDC_DODC_CT, view V_DODC_CT:
DATA: lo_tabnode        TYPE REF TO IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE.
      DATA: lo_tabnode_info   TYPE REF TO IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE_INFO.
      DATA: tab_value         TYPE WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE_LIST,
            wa_value          TYPE WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE.
      lo_tabnode = wd_context->GET_CHILD_NODE( name = 'THCUS' ). "the custom table node
      lo_tabnode_info = lo_tabnode->get_node_info( ).
      wd_this->GET_VALHELP_ZZ_PROLE_R3( EXPORTING iv_guid = lv_guid
                                        IMPORTING ZZ_PROLE_R3_VALHELP = tab_value ). "this method returns the dyn value table
      lo_tabnode_info->set_attribute_value_set( name = 'ZZ_PROLE_R3'
                                                 value_set = tab_value ).
The method GET_VALHELP_ZZ_PROLE_R3 dynamically builds the value help table tab_value; such table is made up by two fields:
value : contains the value of the field
text   : contains a description of the value
The above solution works; now I'd like to enhance it. The custom table THCUS contains also a field called ZZ_PROLE_R3_DESC, which represents the description of ZZ_PROLE_R3. It is, exactly, the TEXT field in tab_value.
So I'd like to do as follows:
- the user clicks on the search help for ZZ_PROLE_R3 field of the table;
- the above described value help appears;
- after the selection, both ZZ_PROLE_R3 and ZZ_PROLE_R3_DESC are filled with the selected couple value - text chosen from the value help.
Could anyone help me achieving such a behaviour?
Again, a little request... when I open the above value help dialog box, the window itself has a label "Floorplan Manager application for OIF.." that obviously I'd like to redefine (e.g. "Role selection value help"). Is there any way to do that?
Thanks in advance

It seems to me - given that your code is in wddomodifyview that you are trying to have different dropdowns per row

Hi Chris and thanks for your help,
lv_guid is the GUID of the document's header; I need to pass it to the method that populates my value help table because the values in it are derived from some fields on the document. (the situation actually is more complex; there's an RFC call on the backend for which the document is intended for to retrieve the data that populate the value help...).
I'm quite unexperienced on webdynpro and terminology; if dropdown menus are fixed selection option that appears on a field, I guess this is not my case. I did a pair of screenshot to provide an idea of what the solution by now is, and what "I would like to have":
[Pre-selection (F4 icon on the field in table)|http://imagebin.ca/view/npIsaqF.html]
[Value Help popup for the field ZZ_PROLE_R3|http://imagebin.ca/view/8fZUh3T.html]
[Result by now |http://imagebin.ca/view/3PaqdvE.html]
[Result I'd like to have.|http://imagebin.ca/view/dExR0J.html]
Chris Paine wrote:
However - by your comment on the "value help dialog box" I am guessing you are using an input field? If this is the case then I would strongly suggest that you change/enhance the structure of the context node THCUS (btw, better coding practise to refer to it as wd_this->wdctx_thcus when using the get child node construct) so that you refer to an actual SAP ddic search help, if you then associate in the structure the value and text fields then populating the text field should happen automatically. Also you'd have the nice side effect that your value help dialog would be named after the associated ddic search help.
Thanks for the code suggestion, I'll apply that. For what concerns the context node THCUS... It is, by standard, a node which I can't explictly find in the context for the view V_DODC_CT. The problem is that ZZ_PROLE_R3 and the corresponding description field ZZ_PROLE_R3_DESC of the table must be filled with data retrieved dynamically @ runtime from the backend. So I guess I can't populate a val help referring to a dictionary table/field; I'd rather do as follows:
- retrieve what's the target backend for the document (to do so, I have to process the document .. that's why the header guid passed to my method);
- RFC call to a custom method that extracts possible values for the specific backend;
- bind the ammissible values to the value help.

I realise that this is rather a lot - so if you have any specific question please do respond - hopefully I or someone else will be able to clarify.

Table to find out the list which shows the last load of infoobjects

Hi All,
I have to find out the Info objects which stop loading in production system, so that we can delete number range buffering for those objects. In table RSDCHABALSLOC I found the info objects which has number range buffering. But total 17000 objects are there its not possible for me to go and check in manage tab for each object manually. I need a table which shows the information like when was the last load happened for the info object. I checked in RSDIOBJ table but time stamp of it not matching with manage data target tab of Infoobject.
Regards,
Asim

Hello Asim,
Have a look at the table RSLDPIO, this should give the last run time of infopackage with other details like related datasource, info object etc. everything.
Just go to SE11 and display data of this table - provide your datasource name to OLTPSOURCE or Info Object Name to VARIANT. Also you can check based on specific infopackage name.
Then sort it in ascending on TIMESTAMP, top most timestamp will be the last run time of that infopackage.
Another helpful table will be RSREQDONE.
Please let me know if this serves the purpose.
Thanks
Amit
