Input TXT data into a BEx Query

Hi BW Experts,
I am using BI 7.0 at present. I have a set of users who would like to view a query results and then against a result line add text data. The requirement is that this text data is written back to the cube and updates the information held in the cube.
I know that this initially can be facilitated by using a transactional/real time info cube and a planning/input enabled query. However it looks like that by using this IP functionality that only Key Figures can be updated/input in the query so TXT in a Char is not possible. If I am not wrong, this is because when planning users are inputting KF values and never need to update Char data such as txt.
Does anyone have any ideas on how this functionality of having a report but then inputting some text which is written back to the cube can be facilitated?
Thanks
DV

Hi Ian
We would like to have one master query that users update data through. So the data is upadted in a cube and the one query reports this so there is only one version of the truth, warehoused in one place.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks
DV

Error while trying to retrieve data from BW BEx query

The following error is coming while trying to retrieve data from BW BEx query (on ODS) when the Characters are more than 50.
In BEx report there is a limitation but is it also a limitation in Webi report.
Is there any other solution for this scenario where it is possible to retrieve more than 50 Characters?

The database error text is: The MDX query SELECT { [Measures].[3OD1RJNV2ZXI7XOC4CY9VXLZI], [Measures].[3P71KBWTVNGY9JTZP9FTP6RZ4], [Measures].[3OEAEUW2WTYJRE2TOD6IOFJF4] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( [ZHOST_ID2].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS, [ZHOST_ID3].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZHOST_ID1].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZREVENDDT__0CALDAY].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ) ........................................................ failed to execute with the error Invalid MDX command with UNSUPPORTED: > 50 CHARACT..

Hi,
That warning / error message will be coming from the MDX interface on the BW server. It does not originate from BOBJ.
This question would be better asked to support component BW-BEX-OT-MDX

Date Filter in BEx Query not applied to Webi Document

Hi
I have a simple BEx Query on 0MATERIAL - with Article (0MATERIAL) and Created On Date (0CREATEDON) characteristics in the Rows and 1ROWCOUNT key figure in the columns.
If I restrict the BEx Query on 0MATERIAL to a single value, only that particular record is returned when I run the query in WebI - which shows Article and Created On Date.
However, if I restrict the BEx Query to a specific 0CREATEDON date, the WebI report ignores this restriction and returns ALL records in the InfoProvider 0MATERIAL.
If I run the BEx Query in the web, only those records with the particular restricted date are returned, so why does the WebI report ignore the BEx Query date restriction? Any ideas where I am going wrong?
Thanks
Anton

Hi Victor
Thanks for the reply. It turns out even after refreshing the universe structure and exporting I had to shut down Webi and reopen it for the changes (date restriction) to take effect.
But thanks for the headsup on that bug/SAP note anyway - it is helpful to know.

Last GR Date in the Bex Query

Hello Experts,
I have one requirement in BW, where I need to get the last GR (Goods Receipt) date.
In my query, I will be having 4 KEY Fields and 1 CHR Field
CHR Field is “ 0MATERIAL
KEY Field is : Closing Stock Qty , Closging Stock Value, GR Value, and Last GR Date
I am using 0PUR_C01 and 0IC_C03 info provider for this query. Now my concern is, how do i get the “Last GR Dates”.
No matter to which date I execute the report, it should always shows the latest date on when we have done the last GR.
For example.. I executed the query as on 31/Dec/2013.. But the last GR date should be let’s say 03/April/2014.
Regards
Sachin

u can follow this document Posted by AL , Provides Detail steps how to show latest Record based on Date .

Can Business Objects Web Intelligency reports access NearLine Storage data Via BW Bex Query

Hi Gurus,
I am aware BEX queries can access NearLine Storage data for reporting but can Business Objects Web Intelligency reports access NearLine Storage data Via BICS connection ( Bex Query as a Source).
Thanks,
Shak.

I would recommend to let your SAP Basis guys do a security trace on the SAP BW side and see if some authorization check for the user fails when trying to fetch data over the universe.

KM Document InfoProvider Data Assignment from BEx Query

Hello,
I am trying to create a document in a BEx query that applies to the combination of characteristics in the report but can be viewed by other queries on that same InfoProvider. When I create the document, it is automatically assigned the InfoProvider name and Query name. How do I change the default assignments for new documents so that it is query agnostic? In the link below I'm trying to replicate the scenario "InfoProvider ABC"

User Prompt for Date Range in Bex Query Analyzer

I have a workbook that has two queries. The queries both require the user to enter a date range upon refresh. I want the user to be able to hit refresh, enter the date input into the dialog box and then both queries to use this date range for their input. I have seen this in other book, but when I click refresh on my book it only runs the first query. How do I get the second query to use the first queries input?

use the same variable in both the queries. this will let the user enter the date in a single variable and this will refresh both the queries.

"No data available" in BEx Query

There seems to be some serious issue. I created a Query but when i execute it, It returns me with an error like "no applicable data found" or 'no data available" or sometimes it is returning some weird data. The issue here is that i don't have the authorization to execute the transaction RSA1 and check whether the Infocube is "Available for reporting". So I asked someone who was authorized to execute RSA1 and check the Infocube and he found no problems with the Cube.

Hi Rishi,
Can you please tell me what you have done to fix this problem.
I am running into same issue in our production. This was working all these days and suddenly the no applicable data is coming.
I appreciate if you can send an email to [email protected]
Thanks a lot for your time.

Using master data attribute in BEx Query u0096 formula

Hello,
I want to use the master data attribute (Eg. Customer master 0CUSTOMER, 0ALTITUDE (Geo Location Height)) in query formula calculation. How do I do this?
Please help me.
Thank you
Subbu

Hi Subramaniam,
You can definately use the master data attributes in the formula calculation if that is a numeric value (logically u can use a characteristic in formula).
for e.g Net weight from 0MATERIAL can be used through formula variable in formula but Color is a characteristic and there is no point in using that in a formula.

I am running Logic Pro 9.1.7, and I use a Roland RD700GX keyboard to input midi data into Logic. How do I set up Logic to record the Roland's own internal Grand Piano sounds into Logic, while retaining the ability to make midi edits? By Eggie

I am running Logic Pro 9.1.7 on a mid-2011 Intel iMac running OS10.7.4. I use a Roland RD700GX as my midi input keyboard. How can I set up Logic to record The RD700GX's own internal Grand Piano sounds, while retaining the ability to take advantage of Logic 9's midi editing capabilities. I am a relative newcomer to Logic, and I haven't been able to find an answer in The Logic 9 User Manual. A step by step procedure would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Eggie0379

Create a new External Midi Track, set the MIDI port to the one being connected to teh RD700. Now,create a new Software Instrument track. Select the external instrument plug-in. Set the MIDI destination and the audio input inside the Plug-in. Now, you can record the MIDI notes and hear the sound of the RD700. Once you've editied, you can bounce the track.

ID CS3: how to input new data into already formatted table

Hi, I have a table that's already formatted, and every month it needs to be renewed with new data that's delivered in an Excel document
How can I just repopulate the table with the new data without modifying the table style in any way?
I read that this is possible in ID CS3 but I don't know how to implement this.
Many thanks!

The InDesign Help app details how to import Microsoft Excel files. Search for Microsoft Excel import options. Everything you need should be there.
If you use the same table each week, you can make a link to the excel file and simply update it each time it changes, without having to import it each time. In Preferences > Type, under the Links option check the box and InDesign will treat placed text/excel files like images, that can be updated when they change.

Two problmes between Crystal Reports 2008 and Bex Query

Hi Gurus.
I have two problems with Crystal Reports 2008 when It obtains data from a Bex Query (SAP MDX query connection).
1)     I have defined some Parameters Fields using the follow options:
Type: String
List of Values: Dynamic
Value Options Level1:
                     Show on (Viewer) Panel :Editable
                      Prompt text: <text>
                      Sort Order: Ascending by value
                      Prompt With description Only : False
                      Optional Prompt: True
                      Allow multiple values: True
                      Allow discrete values: True
                      Allow range values: False
When I execute the report with the client of Crystal Reports 2008 (the developer tool), in the initial screen shows a list box where I can select the values from the left box and add it to the left box (as a usually filter). When the number of options (LOV) is more than the maximum of the system, I have a input box bellow the list box, where I can insert any value (manually) and a button to insert it into the left box. When I publish the Report in the infoview, this filter is modified and the input box where I can introduce manually values is not showed and I can insert only the values showed in the list box, it causes that I can`t select a lot of values that is in the master data of SAP BW, because they arenu2019t listed in the list box.
There is any option to ability this option in the infoview.
2)     My Bex query, have a date filter with variable in the restricted key figures, when I execute a Crystal Reports, the infoview (and the Crystal Reports 2008 designer) ask me 2 times the same date, first only the date and second the date and the rest of parameters (introduced in the report of Crystal Reports).
Why I need insert the date 2 times? How can I modify the Crystal Report for ask me only one time all the parameters?.
Thanks.

Hi Abhilash.
Thank you for your information.
1) Yes, the parameters are created in the Crystal Reports designer. I have created the parameters in the Crystal Report because I use the same Bex Query to create some Crystal Report, in other case, I will need create some Bex Query.
2)The Bex query has the date filters and I have created some filters in Crystal Reports designer, the date filter from the Bex query is created automatically in the Crystal Report Designer but I don't use it, I haven't created it anytime. I use my filters only in the record selection. The date filters from the Bex query is showed as Static, and I can`t delete it, if I modify the parameter to dynamic or static with values, at first step ask me again static without values and the second step of the report execution ask me the parameter as I have defined in Crystal Reports Designer, my parameters fields are dynamic. A lot of reports have subreport, but I have created one of them without subreport (to trial) and the Crystal Reports ask me the date filters at first execution, and when I insert the date filters, in the second step, ask me the date filters again and my parameters fields again.
Thank you again.

Manual input for Date offset Buckets in Due date analysis 0FIAR_C03

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement where i need to provide a manual input selection to fill offset values of dates for due date analysis.
For example, current standard report 0FIAR_C03_Q0005 provides data with buckets of 0 days, 1-30 days, 31-60 and so on. Instead of this we need to define this bucket as manual input field and based on that the due date report should fetch the data like as if a user enters 7, 14, 21, 28 and so on till last option as 999 in 6 to eight variables provided than the report should come in buckets of 0-7, 8-14, 15-21 and so on.
How can i achieve this with BEx.
-Kushal

I'm considering you are running this report on a daily basis. Under this assumption, you may create a Key Date Varaible in BEx Query Designer. SAP BEx offers a very useful concept called Key Date. Purpose of Key Date is to execute your report as of today's date (sy-datum) based on a variable. You may create variables also on 'Key Date' & use this variable as subsequent your offsets in the row/col structure. This gives you a better leverage from ABAP side. For such bucket scenarios, your defined variable will give you option to choose input date which can be customized to choose sy-datum as the current date.
There's no necessity for user to define bucket limits for each level. As per the statements, its obvious the values are multiple of ZOFFSET (The offset provided by users). We can use a simple Customer Exit Variable. We need to first capture the value of ZOFFSET:7. Using CMOD, we can write the custom exit returning a value which gives the bucket range. Another input also must be passed to the exit program to capture 'How many lines you need to process/iterate?'. Say, you create a small formula variable to capture the # of slabs: ZSLABS. I've just written a basic skeleton. Pls. incorporate your requirements as necessary.
CASE I_VNAM
WHEN 'XXXX'.
     IF I_STEP=2 +(i.e.after popup!)+
          READ TABLE I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO L_S_RANGE WITH KEY VNAM='ZOFFSET'.
FOR (ZTEMP_I=0; Z_TEMP_1 <= ZSLABS; ZTEMP_I++)
     IF SYSUBRC=0
          CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
          L_S_RANGE-LOW = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW(8).      +This is YYYYMMDD+
                    ZOFF_PREV = L_S_RANGE-LOW + 1.
          ZOFFSET = ZOFFSET * ZTEMP_I.
               IF(ZOFFSET) IS INITIAL.
                    L_ST_RANGE-HIGH = SY-DATUM.
                    L_S_RANGE-LOW+6(2) = ZOFFSET.          +Just filter only DD from YYYYMMDD+
               ELSE
                    L_ST_RANGE-HIGH = ZOFF_PREV.
                    L_S_RANGE-LOW+6(2) = ZOFFSET.
               ENDIF.
          L_S_RANGE-SIGN='I'.
          L_S_RANGE-OPT ='B'.
          APPPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
END FOR +(Not sure about For loops; but you may similar logic using normal do/while loops too...)+
ENDCASE
There may be a few errors in code. Pls. review them & let me know your comments.
Typos regretted. Thanks!
