Dear Khaja,
I'm not exactly using an update rule, i'm using Integrated Planning component.
Customer would like to set this key figure on user action; ie for example
user validate a step within planning process by pressing a button on workbook.
then system is stamping system date within cube.
Hope it helps

How to fill a Key figure at Query run time

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I have to fill a key figure while the query is running. This value is obtained by multiplying 2 attributes of a Material Master Data object.I could have used Formula Variable but there are two problems -
1. I have material in my info provider but not this Material Master Data object.
2. For a particular material, there are multiple rows in the Master Data object. And I have to pick only one row by applying some condition on a field of the MD object.
Please let me know if there is some way to implement this.

Hello,
You can obtain this using virtual KF. Create a KF and include in the cube on which report is built. Dont have any mapping/rule for the same.
Now write ur code using SMOD and populate this KF during runtime.

How to use Db Provider Factories with System.Data.SqlServerCe

I'm using SQL Server Compact Edition, but in the future I would like to be able to switch to another SQL Server Edition or even a different database. To achieve this, Microsoft recommends using DB Provider Factories (see: Writing Provider Independent Code in ADO.NET, http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=674426&SiteID=1).
I enumerated the available data providers on my PC with:
Code Snippet
System.Reflection.Assembly[] myAssemblies = System.Threading.Thread.GetDomain().GetAssemblies();
The important entry is:
"SQL Server CE Data Provider"
".NET Framework Data Provider for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition"
"Microsoft.SqlServerCe.Client"
"Microsoft.SqlServerCe.Client.SqlCeClientFactory, Microsoft.SqlServerCe.Client, Version=9.0.242.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91"
When executing:
Code SnippetdataFactory = DbProviderFactories.GetFactory("System.Data.SqlServerCe");
I got at first this error run time message:
Failed to find or load the registered .Net Framework Data Provider.
I added a reference to "Microsoft.SqlServerCe.Client" at C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\Microsoft.SqlServerCe.Client.dll and the program runs.
Of course, it uses "Microsoft.SqlServerCe.Client" instead of "System.Data.SqlServerCe". Laxmi Narsimha Rao ORUGANTI from Microsoft writes in the post "SSev and Enterprise Library" that "Microsoft.SqlServerCe.Client" is not meant to be used and that we should add the following entry to the machine.config file:
Code Snippet<add name="SQL Server Everywhere Edition Data Provider" invariant="System.Data.SqlServerCe" description=".NET Framework Data Provider for Microsoft SQL Server Everywhere Edition" type="System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeProviderFactory, System.Data.SqlServerCe, Version=9.0.242.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91" />
After changing the code to:
Code Snippet
dataFactory = DbProviderFactories.GetFactory("Microsoft.SqlServerCe.Client");
I get the same error message as before, even after adding a reference to "System.Data.SqlServerCe" at C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll.
Any suggestion what I should do ? Just use "Microsoft.SqlServerCe.Client" ? Anyway, I don’t like the idea that I have to change the machine.config file, since I want to use click once deployment.

It seems there is no DbProviderFactory for System.Data.SqlServerCe. At least I couldn’t find one, no matter how hard I searched on the Internet. I only found Microsoft.SqlServerCe.Client.SqlCeClientFactory. But we are not supposed to use Microsoft.SqlServerCe.Client and the 2 classes do have quiet some differences among their members. So I decided to write my own factory:
Code Snippet
public class SqlCeClientFactory: DbProviderFactory {
public static readonly SqlCeClientFactory Instance = new SqlCeClientFactory();
public override DbCommand CreateCommand() {
return new SqlCeCommand();
public override DbCommandBuilder CreateCommandBuilder() {
return new SqlCeCommandBuilder();
public override DbConnection CreateConnection() {
return new SqlCeConnection();
public override DbDataAdapter CreateDataAdapter() {
return new SqlCeDataAdapter();
public override DbParameter CreateParameter() {
return new SqlCeParameter();
That was easy enough, right ? I spent 1 week investigating the problem, 10 minutes solving it. I wonder why Microsoft didn’t include this class, because they have already the code in Microsoft.SqlServerCe.Client. I guess they have their reasons, but of course, they don’t tell us. After wasting one more month, I probably can tell. Oh, how I hate this.
Or has anyone an idea what might be the problem ?

How to use exception for a Date Key Figure

Hello All,
I have the following requirement.
1. I have a Key Figure which is Date Type.
2. I need to color the cell to green if the it is filled with date otherwise leave it as it is.
Please suggest how to overcome it.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajib

hi,
Your requirement is not clear, you have the below setup
I have the following requirement.
1. I have a Key Figure which is Date Type.
How can a KF be of date type, or is it the value of a date characteristic that you have extracted in KF using formula variable. If yes you just need to define exception for the value greater than 0.

Arvind.

How can we restrict Key Figure in the BI System

Hi All,
Can any one explain How can i restrict key figures in BI system.
So when i create a query a specific user can only execute it if a specific key figure is a part of query otherwise he is not allowed to execute a query.
For Example:
A user TEST123 is allowed to execute a query with keyfigure Quantity he is not allowed to execute the query if any other key figure is present in the query
Regards,
Deepak

Hay Diogo,
Bravo...
Your suggetions always work for me. The scenario was that
A user TEST_PLD08 should only allow to see output for the querys which consist of the keyfigure PLDQUACMP and not for other keyfigures while other user TEST_PLD07 is allowed to see the output for querys consist of any of the keyfiguers.
so I have assign a authorization profile PLD_TEST07 to the user TEST_PLD08 with KeyFigures authorization as mentioned below and it is working fine
I EQ :
I EQ PLDQUACMP
You can forward me more scenarios like this if you can think of more it will be really helpful for me

How to get the key Figure values.!.......?

Hi friends...
      I have a scenerio , where I have loaded the data from 3 different data sources say A , B and C in to 2 different DSO s and in to 2 different Info Cubes. And I have built Multi Provider from this 2 Info cubes.
In the data source B , I have BELNR (Parked document number ).WRBTR (for Amount). In the report I have to show a field called Nr of Documents Parked and Value of Documents Parked. Same thing for Data Source C, for Blocked Documents. Now My question is there is no Key Figure in My Data Model to Count the Nr of Parked / Blocked Docs....So in the Reporting how can I show this ? Do I need to use Customer Exits ? Do I need to have CKF /RKF ? if so , from what Key figures ? or Can I get the Count from the Backend (Modelling itself by using a Keyfigure with any Code)?...not only this 2 , I have lot many custom things to do in my Model...If any one can get me some idea on this , remaining will be very easier for me as they all are similar things to do....
Please let me know if you have any questions or I need to elabarate it more to get an Idea on this....
Thanks in advance

THANKS GUYS ,
     I wrote the transformation routiene to count all the parked documents as
IMPORTING
    request     type rsrequest
    datapackid type rsdatapid
    SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/ZPARKBEF TYPE /BIC/OIZPARKBEF
   EXPORTING
     RESULT type tys_TG_1-RSTT_IPTDA
DATA TMP TYPE tys_TG_1-RSTT_IPTDA.
IF SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/ZPARKBEF = 'Y'.
TMP = TMP + 1.
ENDIF.
     RESULT = TMP .
         But when I see the Infocube data its showing only 0 for Parked Before value 'N' and 1 for Parked Before vale 'Y'. But I want to calculate total number of parked documents ..How can I do this?
Thanks

Conditions: Variables on date key figures

Dear Sirs,
I am trying to create a condition on a key figure of type date (subtype: dats). I want the user to select a date interval for this condition, using variables.
The problems seems to be that the variable input screen thinks the user should enter an amount and not a date. If I enter a date in the variable then no data is beeing displayed.
So how can I get the variable to understand that the input is a date ?
Has anyone done what I try to do sucessfully.

Hello Rakesh,
thanks for your input. However, I am not able to get it to work.
I create a condition on the key figure "date". I use e.g greater than. Then create a variable with replacement path to 0CALDAY, and transfer the condition.
When I run the report I get the following error.
Termination message sent
ABEND BRAIN (418): Variable VAR_20080128112329 (D2LEOFV2P3JFW0YWPGXBKJ53A) does not exist or is incorrectly used 4 D2LENS95OIB2G5DTW28S323D2

How to create Basic Key Figure, Key Figure and Characteristic

Hello Gurus,
I have copied a standard layout of KP06, named it as a Z- layout and made changes to it, like defined the plan data upload field as Object Currency enabled.
However I want to add a Z-Field , tax holiday unit as a column to this layout which I am not being able to do. The reason is when I go to Insert a new element from Edit > Element > Insert Element and click on 'Key figure with Characteristics' I do not get the Z-Field as a key figure.
I want to define the Z-field as a key figure, so that I can add it as an element.
Would be really nice of you if you can let me know the t-code/menu path to do that.
Regards.

Hello Gurus,
I wanted to share this information with you, hoping this will help you to help me.
I also tried to create a Key Figure in t-code GS32. In the table I mention --> FAGLFLEXR and hit enter. It says no Key figure has been defined for FAGLFLEXR. Then I put the cursor on the 'Reference Entry'and click on copy. Then give the name of the Key Field I want to create.
'Create Key Figure' dialog box appears. When I input the 'Row Text' 'Column Text' and click enter, I am getting an error 'The basic key figure entered for table FAGL is not defined'. I go back and do an F4 on 'Basic Key Figure' field, then I do not get any options.
I would be highly grateful if you can let me know how to create this 'Basic Key Figure' for table FAGLFLEXR.

Restricted key figure not populating data

Hi Guru's,
I am facing problem with restricted keyfigure. I have restricted amount with cal year which is not populating data.
This key figure is having data in provider.
Could you let me know how to overcome this .
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Vijay.

Hi,
The quesry is on Multiprovider? or infoset? it matters first..... or directly on cube? check it and apply relevent infoprovider properties for logic check.
Check the global filters are there any infoprovider restrications etc...
And also while checking the datafor the KF in infoprovide " use ALL the restrictions that are in query and impact the data"
also try removing the restiction and look for data...
Hope this helps.'

Key Figures in Joined Data Source

Hello,
I have created some Key Figures for the Data Source "Sales Order Item". Reports based on this Data Source are working fine and also my Key Figures are displaying the right results.
Now I want to create a Joined Data Source (Left Outer Join) with the Sales Order Item and Outbound Delivery Detail Line Items. The problem I have here is, that my own Key Figures based on Sales Order Item are not showing up in the list and I cannot select them.
Does anyone know why? Do I have to create the same Key Figures again and again as soon as I want to join the Sales Order Item Data Source with any other Data Source?
Thanks for any feedback.

Key figure are not available in joining Data Sources, Characteristics of same type from different Data Source data element available in joining scenario.

Add new key figure with characteristics in report painter

Hi expert,
I am create a new report painter in GRR2 under report group 8A2 (EC-PCA: Standard Reports) and i would like to create a report show on G/L amount with segment.
When i click on first column to assign "key figure with characteristics" i am not able to find characteristics "segment".
Please kindly advice how to create in new characteristics in report painter?
Thanks.
p/s : profit center number is same with segment number

Hi,
"segment" is not a characteristic of classical profit-center accounting (libraries 8A*). Its a New GL characteristic, thus create a report painter report for New GL library.

XmlDataProvider .... is gone completely in my Xaml file. Why? How many different ways to deal with xml data source through WPF

I followed a procedure described in a book.
1. insert "Inventory.xml" file to a project "WpfXmlDataBinding" .
2. add the XML data source through the data panel of "blend for 2013", named it "InventoryXmlDataStore" and store it in the current document.
3. dragged and droppped the nodes from the Data panel onto the artboard.
Then I checked my Xaml file against the one provided by the book
Xaml file by the book:
<Window.Resources>
<XmlDataProvider x:Key="InventoryDataSource"
Source="\Inventory.xml"
d:IsDataSource="True"/>

<DataTemplate x:Key="ProductTemplate">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=@ProductID}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Cost}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Description}"/>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding XPath=HotItem}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Name}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<ListBox HorizontalAlignment="Left"
ItemTemplate="{DynamicResource ProductTemplate}"
ItemsSource="{Binding XPath=/Inventory/Product}"
Margin="89,65,0,77" Width="200"/>
</Grid>
my Xaml file:
<Window x:Class="WpfXmlDataBinding.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding XPath=HotItem}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Name}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid DataContext="{Binding Source={StaticResource InventoryXmlDataStore}}">
<ListBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="370"
ItemTemplate="{DynamicResource ProductTemplate}"
ItemsSource="{Binding XPath=/Inventory/Product}"
Margin="65,55,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="270"/>
</Grid>
</Window>
All looks quite the same except the <XmlDataProvider ....> part under <Window.Resources>, which is gone completely in my Xaml file.

Thanks, guys.
(ps My "WpfXmlDataBinding" runs without problem through.)

Never do yourself down Richard.
Leave that to other people.
It's quite common for smart developers to think they're not as good as they are.
I coach a fair bit and it's a surprisingly common feeling.
And to repeat.
Never use anything ends .. provider. They're for trivial demo apps. Transform xml into objects and use them. Write it back as xml. Preferably, use a database.
You want to read a little mvvm theory first.

Whatever you do, don't read Josh Smiths explanation. I used to recommend it but it confuses the heck out newbies. Leave that until later.

Key figure with pre-calculated aggregation

Hello,
I have to model a key figure with a pre-calculated aggregation, that is, soruce flat files contain explicit values for months, quarters, halfyears and years. The key figure is a percentage (service quality) and the corresponding company department provides me with results for all aggregation levels.
I think that this case can be modeled with one InfoCube for each aggregation level and a Multicube but I have to create a high number of InfoCubes (aprox. 180).
I can get the formula that department uses, but it's possible on BW to change standard aggregation (SUM, MAX, MIN)?
Thanks in advance and regards,
Alberto Garcia.

Hi Alberto,
One of the ways of doing it could be -
add another field (char) to your cube called at "value Type" & assign different values to it depending upon the time value.
say Monthly - value type 1
Querter - value type 2
& so on ...
keep filling the same key figure.
at the time of reporting restrict your key figure accordingly with the value type. ( say need only montly key figure value restrict value type to "1")
hope it helps.

No values when using key figure with constant selection?

Hi experts,
I have built a Webi on top of a universe that is sitting on top of a Bex query.
In my Bex query I have a bunch of key figures defined that are restricted on time and category.
This Webi works fine.
Then I added an additional key figure that required a constant selection on time and on category.
When I first added this to my Webi report it was fine. But once I refreshed my report showed no values.
The report still seems to know that it is meant to retrieve values because it is bringing back the correct records - just no values. (ie I am showing time in my columns and it's showing the correct periods that are meant to have data)
I refreshed a number of times and sometimes it would bring "#TOREFRESH" in some cells but once I refreshed again the cells are blank. Sometimes it would even show me a value in a couple of cells and others would show the "#TOREFRESH"
I went back to my Bex query and removed the key figure with constant selection and the report is working again?
Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there a way to make this work?
Thank you!
Sabine

#TOREFRESH error message appears for smart measures (measure object with aggregation type Database Delegated) when the context for the measure is changed. Refreshing data will solve the issue. Database delegated measures are used for some non-additive aggregation which webi is not able to handle properly. If you are not using such aggregation, then tou can change the aggregation type to something other than database delegated to avoid #TOREFRESH.
