Hi..
You have to use SWC_GET_ELEMENT CONTAINER '( string name of your attribute)' your_attribute.
All attributes are part of container issue.. SWC_GET_ELEMENT command can give you these values.

How to extract Cognos Data into Business Objects?

Hi All,
I would like to know whether anyway to pull Cognos data into Business Objects?
1. Pull data thru Universe from Cognos Cubes?
2. Pull data using Crystal reports from Cognos Cubes?
3. Or any otehr method of pulling data from Cognos Cubes?
If nothing is possible I would have to explore using the RDBMS Tables to build Universe, WebI and then present in Xcelsius. Anybody is aware of getting data from Cognos?
Thanks in advance.
Alex.

Cognos Reporting on SAP BI data
We need to create a new project to import the structure of the SAP BI cube or Multiprovider.
Enter User ID and password.
Click on OK
It will ask you to enter the User ID and password again. After enter the User ID and password it will ask you to select the language.
Then it will ask you to select the metadata source, select the Data source as shown in below fig. and click next.
Select the data Source as shown in below.
Here we are planning to import SAP BW cube so we have to select SAP BW and click on next.
Select sign on and Click on OK.
Here we have to select our desired cube or multiprovider and click next.
Now we have to select the language again.
Here Cognos is giving the flexibility to use different options when importing cube structures.
Here I am selecting to use the technical name of the objects and to bring same model as it is in SAP BI.
Finally it will show list of all objects which are imported from SAP BI.
When you click on finish it will take to the frame work manager. There you will see the SAP BI Cube Structure.
Now it is exactly imported like SAP BW extended star schema model.
Here you can compare the technical names of the dimensions in both in Cognos and SAP BI is same.
         COGNOS    Model                                         SAP BI Cube model
Here I am comparing the values of the info Objects with in one dimension.
               Cognos Model                                                   SAP BI Model
If there are any hierarchies in BI, it will form separately as shown in below fig.
When you open the main object of Program definition, we will find 3 objects under this.
It is always recommendable to use Level 01 objects.
This is how it looks when you open all the above 3 objects. You can use any of those depends on your report requirement.
When you open the info object if you see number of different items, that means this info object has got attributes in it.
0COMP_CODE is the technical name of the info object in BI.
In Cognos if it technical name starts with 1  Short Text of the Info Object.
                                                                   2  Key of the Info Object.
                                                                   4  Long Text of the Info Object.
                                                         5  Medium Text of the Info Object.
LELEL00  Is Summarized values.
LEVEL01  Is Item level values of Info Object.
Once you see this in bw/bi environment, i hope you know how to gather and use it in BOBJ environment !!

How to get Meta Data Extension value?

Hello,
I created a new property in KM and set "Meta Data Extension" field that points to some bundle class file for Labels for this property.
How can I get the value of this "Meta Data Extension" field or, to be more exactly, this bundle class in my property renderer code?
I'll be very much appreciated for your help.

Hello Sergei,
IMetaName getLabel will give you the label out your bundle file if you've set the metadata extension and the bundle key in the metadata property configuration. There is no API that exposes the metadata extension information. It's only used inside the property configuration service.
For more information about how tho customize labels of KM attributes see the documentation:
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/65/6fc63ed4027f6be10000000a114084/frameset.htm">Changing Labels for Properties</a>

How to Get Missing Dates for Each Support Ticket In My Query?

Hello -
I'm really baffled as to how to get missing dates for each support ticket in my query. I did a search for this and found several CTE's however they only provide ways to find missing dates in a date table rather than missing dates for another column
in a table. Let me explain a bit further here -
I have a query which has a list of support tickets for the month of January. Each support ticket is supposed to be updated daily by a support rep, however that isn't happening so the business wants to know for each ticket which dates have NOT been
updated. So, for example, I might have support ticket 44BS which was updated on 2014-01-01, 2014-01-05, 2014-01-07. Each time the ticket is updated a new row is inserted into the table. I need a query which will return the missing dates per
each support ticket.
I should also add that I DO NOT have any sort of admin nor write permissions to the database...none at all. My team has tried and they won't give 'em. So proposing a function or storable solution will not work. I'm stuck with doing everything
in a query.
I'll try and provide some sample data as an example -
CREATE TABLE #Tickets
TicketNo VARCHAR(4)
,DateUpdated DATE
INSERT INTO #Tickets VALUES ('44BS', '2014-01-01')
INSERT INTO #Tickets VALUES ('44BS', '2014-01-05')
INSERT INTO #Tickets VALUES ('44BS', '2014-01-07')
INSERT INTO #Tickets VALUES ('32VT', '2014-01-03')
INSERT INTO #Tickets VALUES ('32VT', '2014-01-09')
INSERT INTO #Tickets VALUES ('32VT', '2014-01-11')
So for ticket 44BS, I need to return the missing dates between January 1st and January 5th, again between January 5th and January 7th. A set-based solution would be best.
I'm sure this is easier than i'm making it. However, after playing around for a couple of hours my head hurts and I need sleep. If anyone can help, you'd be a job-saver :)
Thanks!!

How to get master data records that do not have transaction data in a query

Hi,
How to get master data records that do not have transaction data in a query output. Can we create a query or any other way to get the master data records that do not have transaction data?

Hi,
Create a multiprovider which includes transactional data target and master data info object. Make sure that identification for this master data info object is ticked on both the provider.
Create report on this multiprovider , keep the master data info object in rows , and now you should able to see all the values which are there in master data info object irrespective of transaction happened or not .
Next you may create condition showing only zero keyfigure values , ie. master data without any transaction.
Hope that helps.

Get hierarchal list of business objects

Hi,
I'm using SWO_QUERY_OBJTYPES to get a list of business objects, but I need to display a hierarchy similar to the BAPI explorer. What business object can I use to browse business objects? If no business object is available, what function calls are available to get at the data?

Hi Chris,
this is an excerpt from the SDK Help file.
It works on other object too, of course.
Private Sub DataBrowserOperations()
    '// A Data Browser object can not be created, it is invoked
    '// as a property of a business object.
    '// The BusinessPartners object is used to demonstrate the
    '// use of a DataBrowser object
    Dim BusinessPartners As SAPbobsCOM.BusinessPartners
    '// A DataBrowser object contains a Recordset object.
    '// Because a DataBrowser Object can not be created,
    '// a Recordset Object should be created and then assigned
    '// (linked) to the Recordset Property of the DataBrowser
    Dim oRecordSet As SAPbobsCOM.Recordset
    '// Get a new BusinessPartners object
    Set BusinessPartners = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(oBusinessPartners)
    '// Get a new Recordset object
    Set oRecordSet = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(BoRecordset)
    '// Perform the SELECT statement.
    '// The query result will be loaded
    '// into the Recordset object
    oRecordSet.DoQuery ("Select cardcode from ocrd where cardtype = 'C'")
    '// Asign (link) the Recordset object
    '// to the Browser.Recordset property
    BusinessPartners.Browser.Recordset = oRecordSet
    '// Access the data
    '// Once the Browser points to a row in the
    '// result set you can use the properties directly
    BusinessPartners.CardCode
    BusinessPartners.CardName
    '//Get the next Business Partner
    If BusinessPartners.Browser.EOF = False Then
        BusinessPartners.Browser.MoveNext
    End If
    '//Get the previous Business Partner
    If BusinessPartners.Browser.BoF = False Then
        BusinessPartners.Browser.MovePrevious

How to Retrieve a List of Business Objects using DI Server?

In DI Server (and DI-API) I could not find how I can get a list of business objects, for instance ServiceCall objects.
and more - say i need the list with a filter on customer code and call status?

...at least not to the extent that you are looking for.
Please check the E-learning:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d78ab1f9-0901-0010-8495-8ca0facaea2e?prtmode=navigate
at: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/businessone-elearning
...or go the sample code for the DataBrowser (sub-)object in the "SDK Help Center"...
...or go to the DI API sample (no. 2 I think I remember).
...to find out how you can navigate between the records of the result of your SQL query; from there you could e.g. export the objects to XML...

how to get changed data?
Edited by: Ki-Joon Seo on Dec 27, 2007 6:04 AM

Hi,
To get only the changed data in the ALV grid of a WD, you need to capture the "ON_DATA_CHECK" of the ALV grid.
To this please do the following in the ALV initialization of the ALV table settings :
    lr_table_settings->set_data_check(
            IF_SALV_WD_C_TABLE_SETTINGS=>DATA_CHECK_ON_CELL_EVENT ).
You may also do this:
    lr_table_settings->set_data_check(            IF_SALV_WD_C_TABLE_SETTINGS=>DATA_CHECK_ON_CHECK_EVENT)
The above two ways would depend on when do you need to check for the changed data. If you want to check the data as soon as it is entered, then use the first method. Else, use the second method.
You need to register an EVENT HANDLER for this event.(You may do this in your VIEW or Component Controller).
In this Event handler, you would find an importing parameter R_PARAM which is a ref type of      IF_SALV_WD_TABLE_DATA_CHECK.
The attribute T_MODIFIED_CELLS of this interface IF_SALV_WD_TABLE_DATA_CHECK will contain the modified cells of the ALV with the old & new values.

How to get the values of the objects inside an object??

Hi,
I am trying to write code to display name and memory usage of all session attributes, in a recursive way.
I suppose reflection is needed here, but I cant figure out how to get the values of the objects inside an object...
private void handleIt(String attributeName, Object attributeValue) {
     boolean isPrimitiveOrNull = ((null == attributeValue) ||
          (attributeValue.getClass().isPrimitive()));
     if (isPrimitiveOrNull) {
          sb.append("{" + attributeName + ":" + sizeOf(attributeValue) + "}");
     } else {
          sb.append("{" + attributeName + ":" + sizeOf(attributeValue) + "{");
          Field[] fields = attributeValue.getClass().getDeclaredFields();
          int lim = fields.length;
          String name;
          Object value = null;
          for (int i = 0; i < lim; i++) {
               name = fields.getName();
               //LOOK AT THIS LINE: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
               value = fields[i].get(obj); //I don´t know what 'obj' should be??
               handleIt(name, value);
          sb.append("}");
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated...

I realized that massive int objects called MAX_VALUE, MIN_VALUE and SIZE where causing the StackOverflow, so I removed them from the analysis.
This is the resultant code. But I think it isnt accurate in calculating the real size of objects being got using reflexion.
Do you or somebody have any more suggestions?
