How to change an characteristic to an navigation attribute?

Hello everyone!!
Does anybody knows how to change a characteristic that is on a POS to an attribute navigation of another characteristic that is in the same POS without deactivating it?
An infocube has the same POS characteristics. So, if I do this modification, the infocube will be automatically chaged? I think not, but I want to avoid manually changing almost everything.
Thanks in advance!!
Regards

Hello Heidi
Sorry if I took so long to answer.
Unfortunately you will have do deactivate the POS and of course change all the infocubes, infosources, etc, that are involved with this change. If you deactivate your POS, all the CVC´s are eliminated, so it will be better if you backup all the data in your live cache in an backup infocube.
When you change the characteristic to an navigation attribute and also change the infocube, the data in the infocube will adjust automatically. You will have to create the CVC´s again with the new "format". But in the infocube, it won´t be necessary.
I hope it helps.
Best Regards
Angela

How to change the characteristic value in a item of sales order by FM?

Hi experts,
I guess the FM BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE can implement my requirement. But I have made many testing program, that's all failed. I don't know which part is not correct. So could you give a very simple sample to me? Just change the characteristic value in a item of sales order, not do any change for other parts. Thanks in advanced.

InfoSET - Characteristic restriction by navigational attribute.

Created an infoset on 3 ODS's
Checked the navigational attributes i wante in ODS. (eg 0country as attribute from ZVENDOR)
When building the query it is not possible to have the field as a navigational attribute,only as attibute.
When I want to use it as navigational attribute I have to add it to the ODS.
Only then it is available as Navigational attribute in the query.
When I Add ZVENDOR in characteristics restrictions and create a variable with replacement path "Attribute value" I get the message Replace variable with INFOOBJECT.
"Value 'I' is invalid for property 'Replace Variable With' of element 'ZVENDOR_ATTR'"
Define a valid value for property 'Replace Variable With' of element 'ZVENDOR_ATTR'
How do I resolve this variable error ?

navigational attributes are not visible in infoset, you need to include those nav-attrubetes physically in to your ods-data part to be able to navigate/filter.

How to change a Characteristic Offset value with a User Entry?

I have the characteristic "Calendar Day" with the following restriction
Between
FROM: "Current Calendar Day (SAP Exit ) - 60"
TO: Current Calendar Day (SAP Exit)
60 is the Offset value, this will allows to displays current day and 60 days on the past.
I want to make the offset value dynamic by using a variable that can be modified by the user, so if the user want to display a year then type 365.
Here is an screenshot of the Query
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2173/2274553449_3c8d0d28a0_o.jpg

Seems like I misunderstood you, I didn't think about making dynamic the offset value.
The only way to acheive your requirment is to create a variable with user enter for 0CALDAY and when the user enter a specific date, you display only dates greater than those user entry date, but this case the user will enter a date instead of offset.
Secondly, if you want the user to enter offset, then create a condition and condition variable in your query and depending on user entery, you display the results.
hope, either one will work for you.
thanks.

How to change sql expression of SQL-Calculated Attribute of view object ?

Hi
jdev 11.1.1.5
I have a view object with a SQL-Calculated Attribute (sumAnalytic) how can I change sql expression of this attribute in runtime?
for example in application module method??

Hi Mr Timo
Thanks for your reply but I do not need dynamic vo because I can not change all of my vo
I only need to change expression of SQL-Calculated Attribute of view object in run time.
For this I set expression in view object something like this 'select 2 from dual' and in run time in my AM method I get the vo query and replace 'select 2 from dual' with something like 'selet sum(amnt) over (partition by 1)' and set new query.
But I think the better solution must exist
Thanks

How to change the mining type of an attribute?

Quite often, when I build a model with Naive Bayes algorithm (using DBMS_DATA_MINING package) I get a model with some attributes
being type of VARCHAR2 and categorical mining type although the
data type of these attributes are NUMBER.
My question is, on what basis does ODM assign mining type to an attribute?
Is that the number of distinct values of an attribute?
Can I change these mining types somehow using PL/SQL?
I'm using ODM 10g R2
Thank you
Luke

Navigational attribute in aggregates

Pls. answer.
-How do you include the navigational attributes in aggregates. Aggregates are created over the characteristics(InfoObjects), how to include the Nav. attr. to aggregates?
-Does the usage of Nav attr in aggregates reduces the performance?
Thanks,
NN

Navigational attributes do drag down the time a little because of the extra read that needs to happen on the master data table. Even more evident is the increase in the run time of the Attribute Change Run (ACR) job. This would runner longer during the batch process after updates to master data, as the navigational attributes needs to be adjusted in the aggregates with latest values.
So avoid using navigational attributes in the aggreagtes if you can. Also avoid having both the base characteristic and its navigational attribute in the same aggregate. The last I heard this is a definite NO NO.
FYI, if you add the base characteristic...all the navigational attributes are inherently included as well. In other words, if I have 0SOLD_TO in my aggregate, I can run a query on the navigational attrbute 0SOLD_TO_0ZIPCODE which will still use the aggregate.
Hope this helps!

Use of planning characteristics vs navigation attributes in APO DP

I am using APO DP V5.
I have a product characteristic.
Products are grouped into 'product groups'.
I want to be able to run stat forecasts at the 'product group' level, and also adjustments via key figures at the 'product group' level.
For the 'product group', I could set up a planning characteristic or a navigation attribute.
What are the pros/cons of setting up a planning characteristic or navigation attribute, bearing in mind the need to forecast and make adjustments at this level?
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
The pros for using navigatyion attribute are quite easy: it will give you far more flexibility.
For example in case of change of hierarchy, you will not need to run realignment.
It simplify in the same way the data loading.
Now the cons: there is still some limitations: you can without any problem run stat forecast and adjustment for a navigation attribute. The only limitations I can remember are for promotion and store the assigment of a forecast profile to a selection (see /SAPAPO/MSDP_FCST2 - Assign Forecast Profiles to a Selection ).
this point might, or not, be the issue for you: do you plan to use the automatic forecast profile selection? If yes, then I suggest you to test it with navigation attributes; but as far I know it will fail. (note: I think there is workaround with a badi implementation, but can't remember which one now)
I hope it helps

Renaming of Navigational Attribute

We have a navigational attribute (0CREDITOR_ZMININD) that combines 0CREDITOR (VENDOR) with a customer-defined InfoObject for a minority level indicator (ZMININD). That attribute appears as "0CREDITOR_ZMININD" within the Query Designer. We are aware that the description can be changed (i.e., "Minority Level Indicator") within the Query Designer on a report-by-report basis. However, what we have not been able to determine is if it is possible to change the name outside of the Query Designer, so that it will always show up as something more user friendly (i.e., ZMININD) to the report designer.
Thanks in advance for your help.

You can change the description of the Navigational Attribute on the Attributes page the characteristic 0CREDITOR. In the detail view, you can define Description and short text for each Navigational attribute.
Hope this helps....

Navigation attributes authorization

Hi,all
In NW2004s new auth concept allows to create auth for nav attributes as for chars. But! We have situation when one char is used as nav attribute in several chars. I.e. Char A, used in B__A, C__A and D__A. Is that nesesary to create auth for every nav attr use, or maybe there is a setting not to use nav attrs separately.
I'm afraid, it can be difficult to administer such situations.

Hi Emerald,
maybe an approach to resolve some irritations.
Let consider your scenario, one char is used as nav attribute in several chars. i.e. Char A, used in B__A, C__A and D__A.
If you want to protect the usage of the characteristic A as navigational attribute in the characteristics B, C or D, you have to set the flag 'Authorisation relevant' in the attribute section of the respective characteristics B, C or D (which means up to 3 flags and corresponding 3 authorisations).
If you want to use the characteristic A in its on right in an InfoProvider, you have to set the flag 'Authorisation relevant' in the InfoObject maintenance of characteristic A.
If I have stated something different in my previous replies, please neglect them.

How to change mouseover color of navigation??

Hi All -
Building a website with iWeb 08 and trying to figure out how to change the mouseover color of the navigation links. I don't think there is a way to do so in iWeb itself. At least I have not found a way. If there is that would be great.
Assuming there is not a way, does anyone know how to accomplish this any other way?
I would think you could go in to the published files and find the code to change this, but every time you published you would lose it all.
Does anyone have a good way to do this? Man, this is so important, I'm shocked (well, not really that it isn't included in iWeb itself.
Thanks,
Waz

Hey Roddy,
Thanks.. I knew of that, but would rather use the navigation system of iWeb if it is possible in any way.. for ease of use and also because I do not see a way to have links have a color set to them if you are ON that page, like the iWeb navigation does. Maybe there is a way to do that that I am missing?
Thanks,
Waz
