Housekeeping - info on Bex structures

Hi,
We are in the process of starting a number of housekeeping activities...one of the them will involve deleting many of the huge number of structures that our users have created in Bex. Does anyone if we are able to pull information out from a table that will allow us to perform some analysis such as the date they were created and date last used etc?
any info appreciated,
thanks
Mike

Hi Michael,
try to see in www.service.sap.com/bw->SAP BW InfoIndex->BW Statistics...here you can find these docs: 'How to Set up BW Statistics 2.x/3.x' (pdf) and 'SAP BW Performance Monitoring with BW Statistics' (ppt)...
Hope this helps.
Bye,

Max number of rows in a BEX structure

Hi gurus,
we need to create a structure with 164 key figures, and before starting doing it, does anybody knows which is the max number of rows that can be created on a BEX structure?
I'm not asking about max number of rows on a query, i'm asking about the number of entries that you can manually create on a structure. Is there a maximum?
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Miguel

Hi Migual,
You can add as per your requirement. Please refer the following link

BEx Structures - Which table has these definitions?

When user creates a BEx Reusable Structure (Query Level Object), it is just the container for the selections and formulas. Does anyone know the system table which contains a list of each selection and formula in a structure?
For Example:
Structure Name: "Financial Statement XYZ"
Line 1: "Revenue Accounts"
Line 2: "Expense Accounts"
Line 3: "Net Revenue"
I want to know the system table in BW which tells me the lines of the BEx Structure.

hi Mike,
try table RSZELTDIR, DEFTP = STR; MAPNAME is structure technical name if you have. TXTSH and TXTLG are the description. copy ELTUID
go to table RSZELTXREF, SELTUID = ELTUID (use yellow arrow since the id maybe truncated), copy all TELTUID
then table RSZELTTXT, ELTUID = TELTUID, get description TXTSH / TXTLG
( if you back to table RSZELTDIR ELTUID = TELTUID; get some rows where DEFTP = FML, SEL; formula, selection )
check also if you can use metadata repository (rsa1 - metadata repository)
hope this helps.

Dynamic section in a fixed Bex structure

Hi experts,
I have such a report requirement from the client, which is similar to a monthly income statement of an insurance agent:
+Opening Balance: xxx EUR
+Total Commission Type 1: xxx EUR
+Total Commission Type 2: xxx EUR
+....
+Total Commission Type N: xxx EUR
+Miscellaneous Income: xxx EUR
- Payment:
-- Payment 1
-- Payment 2
-- Payment n
+New Balance: xxx EUR
I have modeled this report with a Bex structure in Query Designer. But I have a big problem dealing with the line "Payment", because it is not a fixed structure. One agent can receive up to n payments in a month and I have to list out every payment.
So I would like to ask if there is a workaround for designing such a requirement?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Meng

How do you differentiate between different payments?
based on a char I guess.
Why do not go for a hierarchy in R/3 side and can hav the expansion there?
In a fixed structure I guess only option is to create max and hide supress zero and yes it is a horrible design if u do this.
Thanks

Creating a condition on a SAP BW BEx structure

Hi,
I'm trying to create a condition / filter in a universe that is built over a SAP BW BEx query that is using a structure and I can't work out how to do this properly.
I see in the XI 3.0 OLAP universe documentation a reference to structures as follows:
"Stuctures defined in the BW Query that are based on characteristics are
included in the universe as single-dimension objects with the elements of
the structure as dimension members."
A sample of my BEx structure which is named "P&L Lines" is as follows:
Gross Sales Value
Discounts
Invoiced Sales
Std Material Cost
In the universe the Class is "P&L Lines" and there is an object also named "P&L Lines". The properites of this object in the "Select" area shows [D431JNHSA9FQ901I1YLHH9WBR]
A simple example of what I have been testing is to include only "Gross Sales Value".
In the universe I have set a condition as follows:
<FILTER KEY
"[D431JNHSA9FQ901I1YLHH9WBR]">
<CONDITION
OPERATORCONDITION="InList">
<CONSTANT CAPTION="Gross Sales Value">
</CONDITION>
</FILTER>
This parses ok but it has no affect when I run the webi report.
Any help would be appreciated.

Bex Structure Headings

Hi
Is it possible to add headings to the structure in Bex query, I tried using selection but it is showing the values...I just want to add descriptions with no values as below in bold:
Example
Plan
---Values
Actual
---Values
Please advice

Thanks for inpurt, I tried both ways hiding from cell definiation which is hiding the heading too even if I didnt hide it as I put the 0 value elimination in the report.
Second one is I tried with different char selections but when I drill down by any char, it is giving me values ...Is it possible to achieve this in any other way ...Also I forgot to mention, I need to show the total (result) values for the heading as well...It is highly complex...Please advice if possible
Thanks

BEx Structures in WEBI

Hello Guys,
I am new to BO with BI as data source.
In BEx query disigner, we have one Char and KF structure (with two calculated KFs) in rows section. And Char structure with 2 chars (restrcted) in columns section. We are using cell difinition as mentioned below:
          OQT     DQT
Mat          c1     c2
CKF1          c3     c4
CKF2          c5     c6
c3 and c6 are cell references and using these reference cells in formula cells c1 and c2. CKF1 and CKF2 are hidden. When we execute this query using BEx analyzer it is displaying correct values as mentioned in below format.
     OQT     DQT
M1     20     10
We created OLAP universe on top of this BEx query. Hidden CKFs are displaying in universe level and it is displaying Structure class with one structure dimension only.
When we use that structure dimension in webi it is displaying OQT and DQT not values of it.
My question is how to create webi report to achieve above mentioned Bex report?
Is WEBI supports the cell definition/reference ?
We are using BI 7 with BO XI R3.1
Thanks in advance for your help,
Regards,
Reddy.

Hi,
It's difficult to tell exactly how you will workaround that ...
but, with MDX you have to include a Measure/KF in the webi query results
in the webi query panel, you MUST include (at minimum) the exact same objects Structure(s)/CKF combination as a baseline for your query to work reliably. ( Check this Bex layout in RSTT and see how the initial query view is designed )
generally speaking, use of multiple Characteristic Structures (like the accounting model) and Measure Hierarchies really confuses webi. and also, can hammer the OLAP engine in BW too. (i.e. massive performance issues)
some aspects of the hardcoded layout delivered by structures (i.e. subtotals and totals, formatting indents etc) are not understood or respected by webi.
Check out this Note here 1387793 - BEx functionality features that are not supported or integrated in WebIntelligence
for an idea of the Bex features which are not exposed by the BW OLAP API to BObj .
as for cell references .. this is a fringe use-case for BW-BO developments, and should probably be avoided.
Ultiamtely, you should be using BEx as a simple data-delivery container, particularly for filtering, but definitely not for presentation layout.
Regards,
H

Read Info from a structure

Hi all.
I'm currently trying to do a report that only wants to look at active production orders. The only place i can find this information is in the structure 'CAUFVD' field 'ASTTX'.
Can anyone suggest the best way to pull this info into my report.
Thanks

Hi,
You will get all the orders in the field AUFNR of the table which you populated.
From AUFNR you should get OBJNR using the database view CAUFV like this.
SELECT OBJNR FROM CAUFV
INTO TABLE T_OBJNR
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN T_AUFNR        "Your internal table
WHERE AUFNR = T_AUFNR-AUFNR.
For that OBJNR pass all the values in a loop like this:-
LOOP AT T_OBJNR INTO WA_OBJNR.
CALL FUNCTION 'STATUS_TEXT_EDIT'
       EXPORTING
            FLG_USER_STAT     = 'X'
            OBJNR                      = WA_OBJNR
            ONLY_ACTIVE         = 'X'
            SPRAS                     = 'EN'
       IMPORTING
            LINE                    = CAUFVD-STTXT
            USER_LINE         = CAUFVD-ASTTX
       EXCEPTIONS
            OBJECT_NOT_FOUND = 1
            OTHERS            = 2.
ENDLOOP.

Required info on tree structure.

Hi All,
Can any body help me in displaying data in a tree structure in PDA.
We have a requirement where the data comes with parent & child relationship, each child may or may not be a parent and the tree may drill more than 10 levels.
when user clicks on the node all the subsequent childs need to be displayed and on the second click the tree need to be collapsed to that node level.(this should be similar to some of the data in sap ex: functional locations)
IS there a component in MI / MAM application to acheive the same else what is the possible way for this.
Your help will be well appriciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Sai.K. K

Hi Sai,
well, the answer is unfortunally a NO in the first place.
MI is based on standard JSP and AWT functionality - up to Version 7.0 - and both runtime environments do not support that stuff on PDA.
If you run the APP on Lapop only, you could build something like that with Java Script in HTML or extend the functionality there with some Add ons externally available that can be filled by normal XML. But this is outside the usual MI scope, it depends on your creative level. WebDynpro on the other side supports you with a tree view as I remember, so this could be an option - but again, only on Laptop.
The question is: why do you not split the tree view to several pages? I have no idea about the amount of data you need to carry with you, just in the first place already. Usually tree view could mean a lot of data and this could end up in a long waiting time just to display the first page. Perhaps it is an option to show the actual level of the tree and if the user selects on item, then this item is added to the path (how has he got there) and the next level is displayed in the screen. Pretty much like the Windows Workplace, where every klick on a folder opens a new window with just the info of that window. Performance wise tis could perhaps be the better option.
Does this help?

Oliver

RSCRM_BAPI with BEx structures

Hi All,
I created a query, using a structure and selections, so I have a first column with the labels I want y the next columns are keyfigures.
I created every selection with technical name.
When I see the results in the RSCRM_BAPI transaction, the system shows me internal code names instead of the technical names I set for every selection.
I wanted to have something like this:
Concepts.........value1......value2
ZVAL1             100         115
ZVAL2             90           92
but this is what I'm getting
Concepts.........value1......value2
4CAKUYDWYHT3IQF3WFDSEYMH3             100         115
4CAKUYTA0F0IJZI083IGZ2JWN                      90           92
How can I force it to show the techniccal names I created for every selection, instead of the internal name??
thanks for the help.
Mauricio

Aashish,
this is what I do.
I clic in the "Extract" button, and set the technical name for the extract (ZFI002) and set the start conditions to Immediate.
Then I clic in the "Batch Monitor" button, and double clic in the date/hour I want to see. Then I double clic in the Extract name text box (/BIC/0CZFI002) to see the extract data. I also use SE11 to see the data from the extract table.
I keep viewing the internal codes instead of my codes. ¿any Ideas?
thanks for the help.

Hallo Malreddy,
See the documentation about Structures here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/4d/e2bebb41da1d42917100471b364efa/content.htm
To create a structure simply position your mouse in the rows or columns then right mouse and create structure. a little playing with the tools helps ya a lot

Howto get info about a structure !?

Hi,
I found a structure with field: ADRC_STRUC - REMARK
I need to know what table it takes it's data from. Howto ?
I tried the "Where-Used-List" ... but its not simple
I want to see the SELECT INTO clause... i belive...

Message was edited by: Martin Andersson

Hi Martin,
This is what I typically do, if I need to find out what table(s) that a given structure ultimately points to.
1. As suggested by others here, debugging is one option.
2. Go to SE12, give the structure name, do a where used in programs, tables and function module interfaces. You may end up in getting a lengthy list but you need a good process of elimination to get to the tables. If the structure is used in a table as an INCLUDE or APPEND structure, well and good. But if it is used in a program or a function module interface, I would go to the code and see where the structure is getting filled and with what information. If you could continue to follow this trace, to the main program where the data declarations are at, you will find the tables that are defined. Sometimes searching for a 'Select' statement could lead you to the table.
Though it sounds cumbersome, most often, I could get my answer and in a quick time.
Hope this helps,
Srinivas

GetSelectedMember does not work on BEx Query Structure

Hi
Has anyone seen the following behaviour:
I have a BEx query
I created a design studio application that accesses the BEx query
The application displays a column chart. When you select a column, it 'jumps' to another tab that displays the detail in a table.
I used the following std. script
DS_DET.setFilter( "ZBCFLG005", CHART_1.getSelectedMember( 'ZBCFLG005' ) );
TABSTRIP_1.setSelectedTabIndex(1);
My issue is: when my Bex query uses a structure as a source for the chart, then getSelectedMember does not seem to provide the selected structure value (member) i.e. a simple structure filtered by characteristic ZBCFLG005.
However, when I change my BEx query by removing the structure and simply reporting the characteristic ZBCFLG005 in the rows, then getSelectedMember works i.e. provides the selected structure value (member).
How do I get Design Studio to read the member value from the BEx structure or is this a potential bug?
Thx

Hi Stephen,
I do not think this is a bug, I have used characteristic structures quite extensively without having an issue.
Are you using setfilter against a characteristic or against a characteristic structure?
In your example, you are using a characteristic in both, to filter from, and to filter to:
DS_DET.setFilter( "ZBCFLG005", CHART_1.getSelectedMember( 'ZBCFLG005' ) );
But if you use a characteristic structure, you should also use it also in bith from and to, e.g.:
DS_DET.setFilter( "00O2TG4C8BB5D9L8PYOLHP7N8", CHART_1.getSelectedMember( '00O2TG4C8BB5D9L8PYOLHP7N8' ) );
Best regards,

How to get the last element of a structure in a textfield in DesignStudio

Hello,
how can I get the last element of a structure within a bex query?
Within the structure we are working with dates that dynamically are buiId (input date - offsets for several months).
I have to show the last value in a single textfield within DesignStudio.
Regards
Frank

Hi Frank,
in DS 1.3 you can use forEach function to get the last element of BEx structure (or n-th element in general using if condition)
var array = DS_CROSSTAB1.getMembers("DHGY5D6XEFO1K45SB00BXFH7A",10);
var lastMember="";
array.forEach(function(element, index) {
lastMember = element.text;
TEXT_1.setText("Last structure element: "+lastMember);
