How to create variables for Characteristic Info-objects in Rows / Columns

I want to create variables in abovementioned manner for COPA retraction in BPS, as COPA retraction does not recognise variables created in "filter" section of Bex. Can sumone advise , as I have tried all the possibilities of creating but failed to do so?

Hi Ravi/All,
Actually my problem will be solved if I am able to create variables in either Rows/Columns area of BeX.
Variables are getting created easily in Filter section of BeX (but in COPA , it will not serve any purpose COPA retraction does not recognise contents of Filter/variables contained in the filter).
In fact variables are getting created in Rows/Colums of Bex, but they are in the form of structures. (Again multiple structures (more than 1) are not recognised in COPA retraction.

Hi,
It is not possible to create the variables on Key figures directly. But we can create a formula variable with processing type 'User Entry' ,SO that the user entered value can be used in the calculations of the query.

How to create variables for offsets?

Hi BW Experts.
I have a tricky one that has been posted before, but I couldn't get my head around a feasible answer just yet.
My customer wants to be able to display his ageing AR report with different buckets, depending on the month.
For example, if it's January he wants to see buckets for 1-30 days, 31-60 days, 61-90 days and 91 to 120 days.
If it's February, he wants to see buckets for 1-28 days, 29-58 days, 59-88 days and 89-118 days.
If it's March, he wants to see buckets for 1-30 days, 31-58 days, 59-88 days and 89-118 days,
and so on.
We have create a structure in the query, filtering the key figure 0DEB_CRE_LC by 0NETDUEDATE. We have a variable for 0NETDUEDATE as a starting date and use different offsets to get the buckets. However, the offsets need to be hard coded, preventing us the flexibility of choosing the days in the buckets.
Is it possible to create variables for the offsets, so the user can choose the days for the buckets at the report run time?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Aline Passos.

Hi Aline,
as user is entering 0NETDUEDATE & he needs different buket for different months, which are more or less decided well in advance, I believe it cane be handled by User Exit varaibles which will draw value from the variable value you have entered & go backward.
you will need to write the ABAP code with your logic to drive the correct user exit values.
hope it helps

Delta Update for Characteristic info object

Hi
Can anyone tell me how can i adjust a delta update for a characteristic?
Regards
S

Hi Sancho,
A great deal of InfoObjects carrying master data and texts are already delivered delta-capable (e.g. 0MATERIAL_ATTR, 0CUSTOMER_ATTR).
The master data extraction in the delta mode is possible for a large number of R/3 tables and views. To do this, the transaction for which data is to be created and changed must be linked to the change document update. This service has been implemented for most of the master data in the R/3 System.
The update occurs in most cases for the transparent tables in which R/3 master data is stored (for example, for MARA or KNA1). If a field changes in a data record of the table the key to this record is recorded in a delta table. When reading the table in a BW, this key is used to fill the extract structure. Thus, you can extract master data delta in several ways:
The extract structure equals the transparent table in the database, whose maintenance is added to the change documents.
The extract structure is a view over one or more transparent tables whose maintenance is added to the change documents, for example, a view via KNA1 (customer) and KNB1 (customer and company code).
A basic requirement for the usability of a table for an InfoObject is that the key for this table explicitly specifies a record of the extract structure (key word compounding). Besides, you should make sure that the data elements of all the extract structure fields are relevant to the change document in the respective table. In other words: as soon as a field changes a record which is part of the extract structure, it must be updated in the delta pot.
<b>According to the assignment InfoObject/table, the following steps must be executed:</b>
1. Check, whether the ALE changepointer are active in your source system (Transaction BD61) and whether the number range is maintained (Transaction BDCP).
2. In addition, check in the ALE Customizing, whether all message types you need are active (Transaction SALE -> Model and implement business processes -> Configure the distribution of master data -> Set the replication of changed data -> Activate the change pointer for each message type ).
3. Check, whether the number range for the message type BI_MSTYPE is maintained (Transaction SNUM -> Entry 'BI_MSTYPE' -> Number range -> Intervals). The entry for 'No.' must be exactly '01'. In addition, the interval must start with 0000000001, and the upper limit must be set to 0000009999.
4. Go to your BW system and restart the Admin. workbench.
All of the following activities occur in the InfoSource tree of the Admin. Workbench.
5. Carry out the function "Replicate DataSource" (1.2 local meta data upload) on the affected attached source system for the InfoObject carrying the master data and texts.
6. Activate the delta update
a) for master data and textsby activating the transfer rules.
b) for texts the entry is in the menu of the right mouse button via the source system: Activate the text delta transmission.
All changes, all initial data creations and deletions of records from now on are recorded in the source system.
7. Create an InfoPackage for the source system. In the tabstrip 'update parameter', there are three alternative extraction modes:
Full update
Delta update
Initialization of delta procedure
First, initialize the delta procedure and then carry out the
delta update.
Addition for incorrect delta requests:
After an incorrect delta request, you often have to re-initialize. A possibility of avoiding this consists in setting the incorrect request manual via QM activity to green. If the request was processed successfully in the source system, and was finished with the information IDoc 'Data selection ended', but the BW reports a processing error, the request must be re-initialized in any case in order to avoid data inconsistencies.
Constraints
The total length of the key fields in the table or view for which change pointers are produced must not exceed 70 characters.
Transferring deleted records using the ALE delta is impossible since a corresponding indicator is missing in the extracted record.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

How to create Variables(User Input Selections) in WEBI Report

Hi Team,
              My requirement is to create a WEBI Report on top of BEx query,I have created a Universe and WEBI Report on this Universe but my doubt is How to create Variables for the User to select.The Input selection should be
User Iputs(All are drop downs)
Distribution Channel :       ->drop down,user can select one
Division:                          -> drop down,user can select one
Department:
Season:
Collection:
Date Format              Valid From:                                 Fiscal Week:
When the user gives the above selections the output should be displayed as
Material No   Description     Markdown Week     Reason code1(under this)        Reason code2(under this)   like that for all the
                                                                            valid from         Amount              Valid from          Amount            Reason code.
I have designed the basic layout of the Report but wanted to know how to design like this,Please help me out in this Format.
Thanks & Regards,
Somu

Hi, depending on the way you set this up (it is not entirely clear if you are talking bex variables or report drop down filters), use the following;
For BEX variables, the choice will be in the
UserResponse("prompt message")
this you can display in the message format you want.
For drop down filters the choice will be in the DrillFilters(), this one will show all selections in one string.
However, if you want to format this to a certain message, you need to use the Formula
DrillFilters([object from drill bar])
This will give you the result of just that one selection. If the user did not select (yet), the value will be "".
Hope this helps,
Marianne

How to create master data/text for an info object

Hi All,
I am working on a report and having a problem with an info object since it has no master data. This characteristic is supposed to be in the selection parameters and also should contain key and text in it. Since there is no master data for this info object there is no text and keys don't come up. Does any one knows how to add master data to this info object without reloading the ODS?
Thanks

Mike,
You shold load the master data into BW first,
othere wise you can do one thing
goto infopackage and schedule where in the update tab select the radio button
Always update the data,even if no masterdata is exist for that.
Regards.

Showin a variable description for an info-object depending on a user login

Hi,
Client requirement is to show a variable description for an info-object depending on a user login.
e.g. a Characteristic Name is Level1 with a description as 'Level1'. If a user in Canada logs in and see a BEx report he should be able to see the description for infoobject Level1 as 'Cost center'. A user in US may wish to see the description as 'Expense center' etc. etc.
Is it possible to do so ? If yes please let me know ASAP.
Do not get confused with language dependant texts.
Regards,
K.Manikandan.

Hi,
I don't think it is possible through standard functionality, but maybe you could try a workaround.
Create a Characteristic (say COMP) with text, and compound it with Infoobject Level1. The values and description for COMP could be
US Cost Center
CN Expense Center
You could make COMP an Authorisation relevant object and check the same with regard to user login, so that the people of sepecific country see only description relevant to their COMP.
In the report Display COMP as Description and Level1 as Key.
But do not that compounding may have an impact on the performance, also look into the implications of the same if you need to do it for a large number of reports/objects.
Hope it helps.
Cheers

Hi Oscar ,
You need to create optional date prompt variable in BW which fills your requirement .
Ex : If you require report should always run for 1st of the month to last of month .Then create Optional date variable in BW with interval .write customer exit ,
if from date is left blank it should take 1st of the month and if todate is left blank it should take last of the month .
when creating webi schedules , leave prompts as blank.

How to create infostructure for my own archiving object?

We created our own archiving objects.
Could you help tell how to create infostructure for each of them?
Any info would be appreciated.

Hi,
Infostructure creation:
1. Create Field Catalog
2. Create Infostructure and assign Field catalog created
3. Activate Infostructure
4. Fill Infostructure
>> Retrieve archived data
Path to create Field Catalog:
Goto SARI >> Customizing >> Environment >> Create Filed catalog
Note: 1. During creation of Field catalog make use of field name from SE11 transaction.
2. Target field and Reference filed should be same and Source table from which you are considering the filed name
3. Key filed name should be Indicated
Path to create Infostructure
Goto SARI >> Customizing >> Environment >> Create Infostructure
Assign Archiving object for which this infostructure is created and assign filed catalog
Activate it.
Path to Fill structure
Goto SARI >> Status >> Select Archiving object and consider option Fill per Infostructure
In Archiving explorer you can retrieve archiving data.

What is authorization object and how to create it for a table

Hi All,
What is authorization object and how to create it for a table?
Thanks

Hi
Authorization
For authorization checks, there are many ways of linking authorization objects with user actions in an SAP system. The following discusses three possibilities in the context of ABAP programming.
Authorization Check for Transactions
You can directly link authorization objects with transaction codes. You can enter values for the fields of an authorization object in the transaction maintenance. Before the transaction is executed, the system compares these values with the values in the user master record and only starts the transaction if the appropriate authorization exists.
Authorization Check for ABAP Programs
For ABAP programs, the two objects S_DEVELOP (program development and program execution) and S_PROGRAM (program maintenance) exist. They contains a field P_GROUP that is connected with the program attribute authorization group. Thus, you can assign users program-specific authorizations for individual ABAP programs.
Authorization Check in ABAP Programs
A more sophisticated, user-programmed authorization check is possible using the Authority-Check statement. It allows you to check the entries in the user master record for specific authorization objects against any other values. Therefore, if a transaction or program is not sufficiently protected or not every user that is authorized to use the program can also execute all the actions, this statement must be used.
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT object
                        ID name1 FIELD f1
                        ID name2 FIELD f2
                        ID namen FIELD fn.
object is the name of an authorization object. With name1, name2 ... , and so on, you must list all fields of the authorization object object. With f1, f2 ... , and so on, you must specify the values that the system is to check against the entries in the relevant authorization of the user master record. The AUTHORITY-CHECK statement searches for the specified object in the user profile and checks the useru2019s authorizations for all values of f1, f2 ... . You can avoid checking a field name1, name2 ... by replacing FIELD f1 FIELD f2 with DUMMY.
After the FIELD addition, you can only specify an elementary field, not a selection table. However, there are function modules available that execute the AUTHORITY-CHECK statement for all values of selection tables. The AUTHORITY-CHECK statement is supported by a statement pattern.
Only if the user has all authorizations, is the return value sy-subrc of the AUTHORITY-CHECK statement set to 0. The most important return values are:
·        0: The user has an authorization for all specified values.
·        4: The user does not have the authorization.
·        8: The number of specified fields is incorrect.
·        12: The specified authorization object does not exist.
A list of all possible return values is available in the ABAP keyword documentation. The content of sy-subrc has to be closely examined to ascertain the result of the authorization check and react accordingly.
REPORT demo_authorithy_check.
PARAMETERS pa_carr LIKE sflight-carrid.
DATA wa_flights LIKE demo_focc.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'S_CARRID'
                  ID 'CARRID' FIELD pa_carr
                  ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '03'.
IF sy-subrc = 4.
    MESSAGE e045(sabapdocu) WITH pa_carr.
ELSEIF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE e184(sabapdocu) WITH text-010.
ENDIF.
START-OF-SELECTION.
SELECT carrid connid fldate seatsmax seatsocc
    FROM sflight
    INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF wa_flights
    WHERE carrid = pa_carr.
    WRITE: / wa_flights-carrid,
             wa_flights-connid,
             wa_flights-fldate,
             wa_flights-seatsmax,
             wa_flights-seatsocc.
ENDSELECT.

How to create a new Characteristic and Key figure ?

Hi !
I am newly trying to learn APO DP and Could anyone please explain how to create a new Characteristic and Key figure in Demand Planning Administrator workbench[ RSA1] with steps?

Hi,
Instead of RSA1, use RSD1 to create Characteristics & Key figure.
1. Go to transaction, select radio button for respective info object i mean Char ot key fig.
2. Enter name of the same & click on create transaction.
3. Suppose it will ask for APO or BW then select APO for key fig. so some new functionality come in to key fig. like key fig. fixing etc.
4. always copy new key fig. or characteristics from standard.
5. after creation activate the key figure.
Hope this steps will help you to create Char. & key fig.

Error when creating interval for number range object

Can some body advise me what's wrong? Is something need to be maintained in number ranges?
Also when I am checking the objects in RSA1, I am getting a message saying "source system WD110 does not exist", WD110 is our dev system. How can I change the source system after transport?
Thanks.
