How does Merged Dimensions Work in WebI created on SAP BI Queries

Hi,
I need to know how does Merge dimensions work in WebI when using SAP BI Query as source?
Below is my understanding when connection is defined for the universe on oracle database:
1) To get the data in merged dimensions, there must be physical join (Either Direct or vai some other tables) between different tables at backend level (This means there must be join between tables in Oracle database.)
2) we get the UNION of data when dimensions are merged at webI level.
I dont know how this works in SAP BI.
Since there is different data model defined for different BI Queries in SAP , and for each BI Query and there is seperate Universe, So how can you get correct data in WebI when there is no connections in DSO's used in different BI queries?
Can any one suggest me the way data apperas in merged dimensions for WebI created on SAP BI?

I assume we are only talking about merging dimensions in Web Intelligence here and not on the BW backend. this is a client side mere where you have 2 resultsets.
if you want to do this on the BI server side it would be a multi-provider combining different InfoProviders - or a InfoSet - depending on the join type you need. MultiProvider is a union, Infoset allows you to choose

Reg:web catalog merge

hi,
i have a requirement to merge two different web catalogs each having it's own users,groups,privilleages.so if i use copy and paste all the folders in catalog 1 to catalog 2,does this completes my merge i.e.., copying all folders like groups,privgs,metadata,users,shared.
thanks

Copy and paste is not always a good practice. Use Web catalog Instead.
Please follow the following link to do so.

IF yes we can do this using Catalog manager
Open Catalog Manager-->tools-->Create Report

How to merge or upgrade the PSE8 catalog into the LR3 master catalog?

I did some searching but wasn't able to find a good match for the issue I'm trying to resolve.
I have recently installed LR3 after using LR3-beta, and had also been using PSE8 as my main photo library. After installing LR3 I used the "Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog...." to create a LR3 catalog of all photos that were in PSE8 catalog. In doing so LR8 created a separate catalog (Lightroom Catalog-2.lrcat) for these photos. However, I would like all photos in one catalog in LR8 (preferably in the LR8 master catalog: Lightroom Catalog.lrcat). Is there a way to either merge those 2 catalogs, or is there a better way to add the PSE8 photos into the LR3 master catalog? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
Tried that - while in LR using the master catalog, I selected the other catalog (Lightroom 3 Catalog-2.lrcat) and received the following pop-up box:

How to merge LR catalog 4.4 (empty) with v3 catalog with many 1000 photos

I had to reinstall an OS in my computer due to a virus. As a result LR 3 in no longer installed. I still have the catalog on a backup disk and have just installed and updated to LR 4.4. What is the best way to merge the V3 catalog with V4 and are there any things I should expect or look out for?

If the LR4 catalog is really empty, then you don't need to do a merge. In LR4, select File->Open Catalog and point to the old LR3 catalog, it will be converted to a LR4 catalog.

How to fix badly confused catalog??

I used to have two catalogs: one for current or recent shoots (basically 2009 photos), and another for older shoots that I'd finished processing and wanted to archive (basically 2007 and 2008 photos). I decided to merge the two catalogs. I thought I had everything set up properly and thought I knew what I was doing, when I imported the recent catalog (which has fewer photos) into the older catalog.
I can't tell for sure but it's possible that the import worked in the sense that all the files are now visible in one Lightroom catalog. But otherwise, it's a disaster.
Here's what I see in Windows Explorer (in other words, here's how the folders are organized on my hard disk):
My Pictures
--- RAW MASTERS
--- --- 2007
--- --- 2008
--- --- 2009
Terrific. That's what I expect to see in Lightroom. But this is what I see in Lightroom. Well, no, what I actually see in Lightroom is even more messed up than this, but this will give you an idea:
My Pictures
--- RAW MASTERS
--- --- 2007
--- --- 2008
--- RAW MASTERS
--- --- 2009
My Pictures
--- RAW MASTERS
--- --- 2009
Aaargh! I can't figure out what to do. I've tried synchronizing but that doesn't seem to work. And when I try to move the 2009 folder inside the second instance of RAW MASTERS up to the first instance, I'm told that a folder named 2009 already exists at that location and the move is prohibited.
Can anybody suggest a way out of this mess?
Thanks in advance.
Will

Update, based on new info (discovered since my first post), and also a report on how I appear to have resolved the problem.
New information
In my first post, I showed that the My Pictures folder occurred twice in the Lightroom catalog. I initially thought that this was an example of Lightroom's confusion. Actually, that particular duplication was NOT a mistake on Lightroom's part. I just noticed that there were two folders defined on my C: drive inside the Documents and Settings folder, a folder named "Will" (= name of my login account) and a folder named "WP". The folder named "Will" is my actual login account folder, containing all of my documents (not just photos, but also web sites, etc.). The folder named "Will" contained nothing but a My Pictures folder. Inside that was ANOTHER My Pictures folder. And inside that there were a few photo folders. Weird. I have no idea where "WP" came from. Anyway I determined quickly that the few folders found in that odd location, namely,
C:\Documents and Settings\WP\My Pictures\My Pictures\2009\
were duplicates of folders that are found in the right place (inside the copy of My Pictures that belonged to user hierarchy "Will"), so I deleted them. Then I synchronized that instance of the My Pictures folder in Lightroom - which caused it to be removed.
Cleaning up the mess
That left me with just one My Pictures folder, which was progress. At this point, it looked like this:
My Pictures
ALL PIX RAW MASTERS
2009
ALL PIX RAW MASTERS
2007
2008
I confirmed that these two instances of "ALL PIX RAW MASTERS" were the same. As I mentioned earlier, I was unable to move the 2009 folder and its contents into the second instance of the parent folder, because Lightroom would tell me that there was already a folder named 2009 in that location, and for the same reason I could not move 2007 and/or 2008 into the first instance of the parent folder.
So what I did was create a new folder named simply "Raw" inside My Pictures. I created this folder in Lightroom. I was then able to move the three year folders into that new folder, which left me with this:
My Pictures
ALL PIX RAW MASTERS (O FILES)
ALL PIX RAW MASTERS (O FILES)
Raw
2009
2007
2008
At which point I simply "removed" both instances of ALL PIX RAW MASTERS, and then renamed "Raw".
So it seems that I'm back in business.
Brief opinion
Having just spent about 3 hours fighting with Lightroom, I hope I may be permitted to vent very slightly.
I like Lightroom 2.5 generally very much. I'm trying out the Lightroom 3 beta and like the improvements there, too. In addition to liking the program very much, I consider myself a fairly advanced user - not a kung fu master, but pretty adept. I routinely help other photographers with Lightroom matters.
My only serious complaint about Lightroom - a complaint I've had since version 1 - is that moving and merging and renaming folders in the hierarchy is confusing and fraught with peril. I am sure that Martin Evening has very few problems managing his catalogs. But most of us do this kind of thing - merging catalogs - only very seldom. And so it's natural that, when we need to manage folders and catalogs, we're going to be doing it tentatively, without confidence, and possibly without a complete grasp of what is expected. There are many possible scenarios here (moving one catalog to another hard disk, merging catalogs on the same disk, merging catalogs on different disk, splitting a catalog in two or three, etc.). So I think it's a bit much to expect a user to pull the books off the shelf and read the file management chapters of all of them, in order to understand what Lightroom expects of me.
That's why I think Lightroom does such a terrible job on this one score. I don't have this problem moving folders around on my hard disk directly, in the Windows Explorer. You should, I think, be able to move files around in Windows Explorer (or the Mac Finder) and have Lightroom sort the changes out automatically - or at least be able to sort them out when asked to do so.
At the same time that I was combining my Lightroom catalogs of raw files, I was also combining what were originally quite separate folder structures containing exported jpegs. I manage these in Picasa, not in Lightroom. With the jpegs, I simply moved the folders around in Windows Explorer and put them where I wanted them. When I opened Picasa 3.5, it had to spend a little time adjusting - but I did not have to do a thing. Picasa just sorts it out automatically.
I sometimes wish I could use Picasa as my file management tool and Lightroom simply for processing.
Anyway, let me say again how great I think Lightroom is as a digital darkroom for processing the thousands and thousands of images I have. I just wish it was easier to manage the folders in Lightroom.

Multiple web catalog files for same rpd

Is there any way to run multiple web catalog files for same rpd in OBIEE?

Why do you want to do that? Why not merge them into one? You run seperate presentation servers againt the same RPD.

How to merge data returned from server after you hit SUBMIT button

I have a PDF form with blank ID field. When user click Submit button on the form, an ID will be generated from database on the server side. How do I merge this ID with client's original PDF from so he knows his ID number? Any help thanks.

When the user submits the form, he or she is redirected to the web page that you put in the submit URL. The form doesn't generally stick around. A typical response would be to return an HTML page that confirms receipt and gives a reference number. If you want to merge data with the PDF and present that back to the user, it's possible, but not very easy. If you decide that you'd like to go down that path, you can start by searching this forum on "vnd". You'll find a long thread with 30+ messages that show how to merge data with a PDF using various types of CGI scripts.

How to merge text attribute in query designer

Hi,
please does anybody know, how to merge, let say, two text attributes of one characteristic into one long text? I know, that it is possible with method, which is finally called in the Web Application Designer. But I need to proceed this on the query level. It means, when I display result of query in query designer, I need to have two attributes merged into one long text. Is there some exit, method or something else, where can I do it?
Thank you very much
Best Regards
J.

Hello,
I don't think so we have string concatenation at query level.
You have to create / use existing info object and use string functions to achieve this.
Might be you could wait for some time to get more replies.

How to create a product catalog in crm(by the end user of the system)?

how can we an end user create a product catalog?
what is the diff b/n prod cat and prod?
we download the prod from r/3.
how we get the prod cat done in crm for the customers and consumers and how it is done?
thank you,

hi
first of all we need to look at what is catalog management before proceding with product and product catalog.
You use this business scenario to create a centralized product catalog that contains product descriptions, multimedia objects, pricing, and associated literature. The catalog enables quick and easy customer access to timely and personalized product information, structured in such a way that most meets your customers needs.
Product catalogs are implemented in sales processes and are of particular importance in CRM Web Channel for presenting your products in the Web shop.
difference between the product and product catalog
this is not the thing that product and product catalog are completely different entity.
Product catalog :   A grouping together of products from your product master data, in a structured hierarchy.
You use product catalogs to group together products to present them in the Web shop, Interaction Center, or in other forms of media, for example printed format or CD-ROM.
You can create various catalogs for your products in the product master and use them according to a validity date. For example, you could use certain products for the summer season, and other products for the winter season.
You can also tailor your product catalog to meet other needs by creating catalog variants. For example, you can create a catalog in English with the prices displayed in US Dollars.
so by above definition it is very much clear that products are actually assign to the catalog,i will give you an analogy that museum is a kind of catalog and you add different pictures to the museum,in the same way you add product to the product catalog according to the acatlog variant.
Now how you assign product to product catalog
Product Assignment
You assign products manually or automatically to a catalog area, depending on the catalog type. The product ID, product description, and status of all products is displayed, as is the information as to whether the item contains accessories or if it is a configurable product.
Prerequisites
You have created products in your product master in SAP CRM under Accounts and Products
Process
You select a catalog area in your product catalog, and edit the item list by assigning products to the area.
Manual Assignment
You can assign products manually on an individual basis or by copying a catalog area. You tend to choose manual product assignment for marketing-oriented catalogs that are subjected to editorial controls.
      Individual assignment
      In this case you select the catalog area in which the product should be assigned, manually search for the product in the product master, and assign it to the area.
      Copying items from catalog areas
      You select an area or subarea from another catalog and copy it to your new catalog. The system copies all products from the copied area to the new catalog, as long as they belong to the distribution chain assigned to the target catalog variant. From these products, you can then manually determine which products from the copied area you want to keep and which items you wish to delete.
The following is true for manually assigned products:
      You can activate or deactivate items on an individual basis.
      You can edit the list of accessories for manually assigned products. The system determines which accessories are maintained for the product in the product master and displays them in the item area of the catalog. You select which accessories should be displayed for the product in the catalog and activate them.
      Manually assigned products can be included or removed from catalog views on an individual basis.
Automatic Assignment
You can assign products automatically to a catalog by transferring product hierarchies from your product master to the catalog areas. The categories, items, attributes, and documents contained in the product hierarchy are copied to the new catalog.
You use automatic product assignment mainly for functional catalogs, where products can be copied with very few changes, from the product categories of the product master. It enables a standardized characterization of your products in the catalog.
The following is true for products assigned to the catalog using product hierarchy transfer:
      Product categories which make up the hierarchies become catalog areas in the catalog.
      Product categories in the product hierarchy must be assigned to the distribution chain to which the target catalog variant is assigned. Otherwise the category is not transferred. The same applies to the items, texts, and documents assigned to the category.
      Items are always active and cannot be individually activated or deactivated.
      Accessories maintained for transferred product in the product master are automatically included and displayed in the catalog.
      Transferred items cannot be individually included in catalog views or removed from them. Instead all items of the hierarchy are always contained in the view.
      Lists of characteristics for transferred categories and items can be automatically created when transferring product hierarchies. The transferred values are included in the item overview of the product catalog.
how to create a product catalog
just have a look at this link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm60/helpdata/en/1c/12b2dc57d644d19ea3a5c4156f904f/frameset.htm

Web Catalog Publishing using MDM RPCM scenario

Hi Experts
Is it possible to do web catalog publishing using MDM Publisher or Publisher APIs? if yes, where can i get the information on how to proceed with it?
I came across this[thread|Re: Web Catalog Publishing]
where Markus has stated that web catalog publishing is possible with java APIs and SAP is having plans to include that functionality in Publisher tool as well, in its future releases.
I couldnu2019t find any straightforward answer for my question either in MDM Java docs or in Publisher guide.
Thanks in advance
SwarnaDeepika

Thank you Markus for the prompt reply.
The link was very helpful. The line
To build dynamic Web sites with complex MDM data layouts
was what i was looking for.
So using the publishing APIs MDM data can be sent through to a web site which acts as a online catalog, can you please confirm?
Can these APIs be used to expose the catalog using enterprise portal as well, instead of a normal website (just like how its done in SRM-MDM catalog)?
P.S: Kindly bear with me, if my questions are silly. An expert's opinion is all i need
