Hello, we are using Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 in the company I work, and we are facing a problem in some web intelligence reports.Our BO version is in Spanish, so maybe I do not translate some BO terms properly into English.
We have the "Time" class in the Universe we use, and in that class, we have the "month" dimension.
When we create some reports in InfoView, we can use the "month" dimension to display the results of that month (dragging and dropping that dimension in the "Analysis Context" Area).
The user can choose values in the "month" dimention through a combobox in the "analysis context" area. The problem is that Infoview allows the user to select the value "all the values" of that dimension, I mean, all the months, so that the results of the report are according to the "automatic aggregation" calculated of the values of that dimension (all the months).
But, we do not want to allow the user to select that value (all the values) of that dimension, because it causes that the report displays incorrect results (we have some percentages that have incorrect values in the aggregation, for example). I hope that you understand the problem I have tried to explain.
My question is how can we restrict so that the combo box (of the month dimension at the analysis context area ) does not allow to select "all the values"?
Is it possible? If so, do we have to make a change in the universe or is it a restriction of the web intelligence repport?
Thank you very much!

Alejandro,
In your posting, quote "(we have some percentages that have incorrect values in the aggregation, for example).", I'm wondering if you are calculating the percentages within your universe or not? I.e. do you have a universe object that in essence is doing the math? If so, I might suggest that you not do it this way (even though in total aggregation calculations this will produce a valid result), but in disaggregate calculations (during the users "slicing and dicing") the percentages are not re-calculated by the BusObjects tool because it thinks that the data it received from the SQL output is good to go, and this is where the incorrect values in the aggregation start to show up. We had this problem too, so we ceased from calculating at the universe level and built a local variable to the report, thus BusObjects will recalcuate the percentage properly for each level of aggregation that user selects. The downside to this approach is that every report that has percentage calculations will require the local variable to be built for that report. Even users who build their own reports will have to build their own local variable to compute the percentage for their reports. The upside is that the calculations will be correct every time.

How to restrict values of Dimensions in Webi report prompt

Hi
I need to create a WebI report for a set of Business users. We have several thousands of Agencies. Business Users want to see only the agencies they work with (about 100) in the prompt. This way they need not go through thousands of agencies they dont work with. I tried to use List Of Values option but that didnt give me desired result. Please let me know how to restrict values in prompt to few values from the n number of values available in database.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
there is no such step-by-step!
I would encourage you to consult documentation and search for terms 'row level restriction' in the help guides.
Practice makes perfect
Good luck

How to Add/Concatenate to a text field, values selected in a combo box

I have a combo box form field that allows the user to select a value from a list and click on an Add button. The Add button should add/concatenate the vaue selected to a text field in order to create a list of values selected. I'm not sure how to do this using Javascript in Acrobat? I know I need to add the javascript to the Add button's Mouse Up action. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks so much - it works!

Let's say the text field's name is "Text1", and the combo is called "Combo1". You can then use this code as the MouseUp script of the Add button:
var f1 = this.getField("Text1");
var f2 = this.getField("Combo1");
if (f1.value=="") f1.value = f2.value;
else f1.value = f1.value + ", " + f2.value;

How to restrict value of materila in a PR created from PS to 1 Rupee

Hello Gurus,
While creation of material PR from P, system is picking value either info record or material master. How can we restrict value of materila in a PR created from PS to 1 Rupee?

On costing variants(OPL1)->valuation varient u can define which would be picked for planing, there give top priority for "Plan price 1"
To get plan price 1, you have to update on material master(mm02) on costing 2 tab as 1 rupee for all required materials.

How to restrict values of characteristics in Bex

Hi All,
I want to restrict values for a particular characteristics starting from ZABC* in Bex without writing CMOD ABAP code
For Ex
ZABC123
12656
ZABC234
So in the report o/p shd be
ZABC123
ZABC234

Hi Roshan,
I don't understand well your issue, but I will try to answer to you with two possible solutions anyway.
You can use the variable not in the characteristic filter but in each index. For example, if you have two indexes to be displayed in your column structure, try to filter them with the characteristic value variable. In this case you can probably see all of the characteristic values but for only ones that start from ZABC* you can see KFs values.
According to an another my supposition, you can use an exception (there is a dedicated tab when you restrict your characteristic). You can find more informations reading the following link:
http://help.sap.com/SAPhelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/21b4cd14cd06f4e10000000a422035/content.htm
Hope it helps.
Best regards.

How do I correctly use Macro Builder to have a form auto select a TAB depending on a value selected in a combo box?

I am working in access 2013 to update a database first created in Access 2003. It has been saved as an accdb but I have the same problem in earlier versions.
I have a Tab Control subform in my MainDataEntry form which has 5 different tabs. Each Tab has its own set of text boxes and combo boxes for data entry. At the top of the MainDataEntry form there is a Text box [Text393], which has a drop down with
the 5 TAB names, [Mobile Device],[Computer],[Loose Media],[Network] and [Original Device]. When I select one of these values in the Text box, I would like to automatically set focus on the first Textbox or ComboBox inside the corresponding TAB.
I have tried to do this using the MacroBuilder inside the "After Update" Property for the Text or Combo box that is on the MainDataEntry Form using "If" and "Else If" statements for the "GoToControl" action, however
I seem to be able to only get one Tab to work. I have tried several different variations of this, putting the If statement first and the action argument second...putting all arguments inside a group, or not grouped....nothing seems to work. What am I
doing wrong?
EXAMPLE:
If [Text393]=[Mobile Device] Then
    GoToControl
         Control Name   Combo471
Else If [Text393]=[Computer] Then
    GoToControl
Control Name   Bios_Date
Else If [Text393]=[Loose Media] Then
    GoToControl
         Control Name   Combo659
Else If [Text393]=[Network] Then
    GoToControl
         Control Name   User Name
Else If [Text393]=[Original Device] Then
    GoToControl
         Control Name   Combo814
End If

In the Macro Builder's AfterUpdate event for [Text393]:
GoTo Control
Control Name =Forms!MainDataEntry.Controls(Text393.Value).Name
To ensure that the first control on each tab receives the focus, set that control's Tab Index property to zero (0).

How do you set an array of combo boxes to a specific value?

I have an array of combo boxes that I would like to set to a specific value. When I tell my program to set them it only sets the combo box that I most recently changed and none of the others.
I've attached a small vi that demonstates the problem.
Thanks,

Your property node is for only one combo box (you can see this on the label and also by double clicking to go to UI element).
If you want to change all of them then either follow previous suggestion or create a property node for the array and not just one of the combo boxes.

Value not visible in combo box

Hi all,
I have a control bar with 5 combo boxes.
As the user set the value on a box the others are refined to
include only those items that are relative to the user selection.
All works well with one exception in one list the value is
present bu not visible.
Has anyone encountered this before and does anyone know how
to correct it?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Duh.
In the one case where the item fails to show I was not
casting the value as a string.
Casting solved the issue.

How can I set the size of combo boxes on a toolbar

Hi, I am trying to use setMinimumSize of a combo box on a toolbar, It doesn't seem work. The code as following? Can anyone tell me how I can do it ?
JComboBox sw = New ComboBox();
sw.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(10,10));
Thank you.
Scott

use the method preferred size of the JComponent superclass of the combos:
setPreferredSize
public void setPreferredSize(Dimension preferredSize)
Sets the preferred size of the receiving component. If preferredSize is null, the UI will be asked for the preferred size.

Populate 2nd combo box based on value selected in 1st combo box

I am still using Acrobat 6 though I may be upgrading soon to Acrobat 8. I have a form with two combo boxes, the first "state" has values of MN and WI. Based on which value the user picks I would like to populate a "county" combo box with lists of counties that we deal with.
Thanks,
Gene

One can set the option and export value using an arry: // document level script // Master List of Lists // Each entry in this object listeral is the name of a State //Manually enter the State Names into the state field combo box // The associated value is the item list, where each item is a name value pair, [<County> and [county code, zip code]] // state: ["county name", ["county code", "zip code"]] var oStateNames = {MN: [["-", ["", ""] ], ["St. Louis", ["MNStl", "55001"] ], ["Carlton", ["MNSCrl", "55002"] ], ["Pine", ["MNPin", "55003"] ], ["Cook", ["MNCok", "55004"] ] ], WI: [["-", [" ", " "] ], ["Douglas", ["WIDou", "55005"] ] , ["Bayfield", ["WIBay", "55006"] ], ["Burnette", ["WIBur", "55007"] ], ["Ashland", ["WIAsh", "55008"] ] ] }; //SetCountyEntries() on keystroke entry in state field function SetCountyEntries() { if(event.willCommit) { // Get the new counties list from the Master List // Since the selection is being committed, // event.value contains the State name var lst = oStateNames[event.value]; // Clear the county list if there are no counties for the selected state this.getField("ee.address.county").clearItems(); this.resetForm(["ee.address.code", "ee.address.zip"]); if( (lst != null) && (lst.length > 0) ) this.getField("ee.address.county").setItems(lst); // set opiton and export value } } // end document level script For the combo box "ee.address.county" one can create an array from the export value to populate the county code and zip code // custom keystroke for county combo box if(event.willCommit & event.value != "") { // split county and zip codes var aCodes = this.getField(event.target.name).value.split(","); this.getField("ee.address.code").value = aCodes[0]; this.getField("ee.address.zip").value = aCodes[1]; } // end custom key stroke code

How to hide certain items in a Combo Box

I've two Combo Box(CB). First CB contain 4 items(drop-down menus) and the 2nd CB contain 12 items.
I want that when I select one of the items from Combo Box1, then only 4 out of 12 items from Combo Box2 should be visible. So actually I want first combo Box to act as filter. Could this be done using the AS3 code.

I don't think there is any way to hide items, but you can rewrite he items basd on the selectedIndex value of the cbHeight combobox. In the code below, each element of the weightData array is an array of objects.
import fl.data.DataProvider;
var weightData:Array = new Array();
weightData.push([{label: "100"},{label: "110"},{label: "120"},{label: "130"}]);
weightData.push([{label: "200"},{label: "210"},{label: "220"},{label: "230"}]);
weightData.push([{label: "300"},{label: "310"},{label: "320"},{label: "330"}]);
function heightSelected(evt:Event):void
     var hSelected:int = evt.target.selectedIndex;
     var dp:DataProvider = new DataProvider(weightData[hSelected]);
      cbWeight.dataProvider = dp;
