IP Characteristic Relationship used via Filter for derivation in Query

Hello Experts,
hopefully you can help me with following issue:
Currency is an Attribute from Company. I created a Characteristic Relationsship to derive Currency from Company
Afterwards I created an Aggregation Level with fields
Currency, Company, Material, Amount, Quantity, Unit.
On this Aggregation Level I defined a Filter with Company which will be filled from a Variable (Replacement Path, Query, single value).
I use this Filter in a Ready-Input Query and defined it like follows:
Rows: Amount and Quantity (restricted to TO)
Column: Material and Currency
The field currency should be filled automatically with Currency from Company but it did't. Due to this the Query is not ready input.
I know that it can be filled via User Exit but this is my last solution if nothing else is working. A Variable with Replacementh path and filled by Attribute of Company does not solve my issue.
Thank you in advance for any help.
Kind Regards
Doris

Hello,
thank you all for your answers. I used Workpackages for my issue. I picked it upfrom the "How to Use workpackages to control Locking in BI Integrated Planning".
With this solution I can fill the currency with Replacmenth Path from Attribute Company.
This is the first time that I worked with Workpackages for Authorization and I can recomend it because you don't need an User Exit.
Kind Regards
Doris

Fields missing in Characteristic Relationship

Hi Experts,
I want to derive Currency Key from Company code using Characteristic Relationship. I am using 'With Derivation' and master data attributes. But in the source fields I see only two fields Cost Center and Controlling Area. Not sure why I am missing rest of the fields from the Cube. Does this mean, I have to have Aggregation levels maintained before I look at Characteristic Relationships??
Thanks,
DV

Hi,
derivation is used to fill characteristic values from other characteristics in the InfoCube. So to derive 'Currency Key' from 'Company Code' means that both characteristics have to be inculded in your InfoCube. I think, Currency Key is an attribute of Company code, so you can create a derivation relation based on characteristic Company Code.
If you don't need 'Currency Key' in the InfoCube, you also may use Currency Key as a navigation attribute. Then you need not characteristic relationship for this, the system automatically know about the link between Company Code and Currency Key.

Characteristic relationship not working

Hi All,
I created a characteristic relationship using Datastore object considering two infoobjects that were available both in my real cube as well as the ods.
Bcos of this i was able to generate(through reporting on cube) a valid combination of these two objects which were there in Datastore but not in Cube.
Yesterday i created this and the query was working fine.After that i deleted the char relationship and recreted again and did some more enhancements like suppressing result rows etc, adding more characteristics in filter.
But the query is not displaying any results now for objects present only in DSO and not in cube.
What could have changed because of which it is not working?
Any help is appreciated.

Stock Photos for Derivative Works

For anyone who has used free photos in the past from sxc.hu (stock.xchng) to do photomanipulations using Adobe Photoshop Elements (or other similar softwares) and which photos were listed as being offered "without restrictions," please note that all photos are now labeled "Standard Restrictions Apply." A Policies Forum question by someone who has been using the previously tagged restriction-free photos for such photomanipulations prompted the following response by an attorney at that site:
"What you are creating is known under copyright law as a "derivative work". For reasons that totally escape me, the license provided to users of photos from this site [sxc.hu] do not authorize the creation of derivative works. Thus, from a legal standpoint you would need to contact the uploader and secure his/her permission."
Marilyn

Hi, Ward -- Michael Slonecker, who provided the comment I quoted, appears to be the closest the SXC Forum - Policy section - comes to having an official legal spokesman.
It's interesting that the reply you received to your email instructed you to look under the image to determine whether the image is restricted or not, since ALL the images since 2/1/07 include "Standard Restrictions Apply." None of them now state that the photo is restriction free. The only place you might see a related comment is on the photographer's personal information page. If you click on the link under the photo, you are taken to the long list of do's and don'ts. It is that list that the attorney was commenting upon. I believe his interpretation was that if the list did NOT state that you could use the photos for derivative works (which it does not), then you must request permission to use the photo for that unlisted purpose.
I don't have a problem notifying the photographers that I used their photos; but if I had to wait until I received permission, the weekly Challenge would be over.
I guess with their site now, you just roll the dice and take your chances.
Thanks for adding your comments!

Derive method of characteristic relationship with exit class BI IP

Hi All,
We have below four fileds in real time planning cube.
Quantity
Unit of measure
Converted Quantity
Converted UOM
We have implemented characteristic relationship of type exit between UOM and converted UOM. We need to populate values of converted UOM using characteristic relationship.
do we need to implement derive method to fulfil this requirement ?
if yes, when derive method of exit class is getting called ?
Awaiting for your reply.
Regards,
Mitesh.

Hi Andrey,
Thanks for your reply.
I have tried approach suggested by you however break-point did not stop yet to derive method.
I will give little more details on what i have implemented, probably it may help you.
I implemented CREATE method and generated below combinations. No other method has been implemented yet.
UOM            Converted UOM
G                 KG
KG              G
clear ls_unit.
ls_unit-unit = 'G'.
ls_unit-unit1 = 'KG'.
APPEND ls_unit to lt_unit.
clear ls_unit.
ls_unit-unit = 'KG'.
ls_unit-unit1 = 'G'.
APPEND ls_unit to lt_unit.
E_TH_CHAS = lt_unit[] .
Kindly suggest,
1. any specific configuration at query level is required to call derive method
2. what code should i need to write if i want to derive above combination using derive method
Thanks,
Mitesh.

Characteristic relationships with derivation. I don't quite understand...

Hi, experts!
I'm trying to figure out all about using derivation in characteristic relationships and even though I seem to generally understand what it's for, some moments are still unclear.
Let me describe the task: I have, for example, 10 item categories, all of them are in the real time info-cube. I have unique combinations for them, which are loaded into the DSO and I'm trying to create char. rel-ps based on that DSO.
In the first aggregation level I'm using only the first 3 levels of item categories. The other 7 are not included.
Let's assume I've planned my key figures for those 3 levels, and saved the plan. I need the system to distribute (disaggregate) the values among the remaining 7 category levels, so when I open another plan, based on an aggregation level that includes all 10 item categories, I would see all the data correctly and all the necessary combinations.
As I understand, in that case I need to have characteristic relationships with derivation.
But SAP demands that all the "target" characteristics should be held in the "Data Fields" section of DSO. And therefore they won't be key fields.
I don't really get it - why should they be "data fields"? If I use them as "Data Fields" in the DSO, I won't be able to load all the possible combinations, because in some cases these 3 item categories that are the keys of the DSO, will match, only the remaining 7 will be different...
How do I solve the described task?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Andrey

Hi Andrey,
derivation is a function, given the source fields the derive functions fills the target fields. In other words, given a relation with two characteristics A, B with A source and B target the derive function F modeled in the relation 'calculates' F(a) = b with a, b members of A,B, respecitvely. Since F is a function for a given a there are not two differen b1, b2 with F(a) = b1 and F(a) = b2.
Using a derivation relation modeled in a data store the function F is defined by the active table of the data store. So A has to be the key and B has to be a an attribute (non-key). If this is not the case and A, B are key fields you can have the combinations
A    B
a    b1
a    b2
and this is by defintion not a derivation relation, but an n:m relation.
On other words derivation fills redundant fields.
It seems that you want to do just the opposite. It is a common problem to plan on a 'higher level' and to disaggregate from the higher level to lower levels, but of course only valid combinations should get values. You can use planning functions or the disaggregation feature in the query. Characteristic relationships are used to model the valid combinations.
An example is as follows: We have Product -> Product Group -> Product line, the arrows indicate a derivation relation. The query uses all three characteristics in the aggregation level but has only Product Line and Product Group in the rows. Using disaggregation in the query changed key figure values will be disaggregated to Product (and maybe other characteristics used in the aggregation level). The system uses characteristic relationships that can be applied for the aggregation level to check the consistency of the records. Observe that a derivation relations can also be used to check the consistency of a combinations if both source and target fields are filled. Observe that for disaggregation of the above mentiond fields are filled and thus can and have to be checked using the derivation relations (and maybe other modeled relations).If 'access mode for result values' based on characteristic relationships is used in the query the relations can also be used to create all valid combinations needed for disaggregation.
So you have to check whether the constraints you need are really of type n:m, then all fields have to be key in the data store or whether you have a derivation relation. By the way, derivations can be combined as in the Product -> Product Group (first relation) and Product Group -> Product Line (secdond relation) example.

Characteristic Relationship - Derive week from 0CALWEEK

I need an exit for characteristic relationship, deriving week (to a custom characteristic ZWEEK) from 0CALWEEK. I.e. I should be filling ZWEEK with the week number 1-52 based on 0CALWEEK's YYYYWW. Anyone have something like this already in place and would perhaps be so generous as to share the code or experiences?

How to create a data filter for BAPI used in a Distribution Model ?

I am trying to create IDOC's for a QM inspection plan via message type QPMK in ECC 6.0. When creating the new message type in the Distribution Model, it forced me to use a BAPI (MasterInspectionChar) rather that just the message as I have done in the past. In order to ensure that only IDOC's related to a specific plant and material type get sent out, I was trying to create a filter.
I am able to get into a 'Change Filter' dialog by double clicking 'No data filter set' under the node 'MasterInspectionChar.SaveReplica'. However, an attempt to highlight anything on this dialog and clicking button 'Create filter group' results in msg. 'Select node: Content-dependent parameter filtering'.
Online help led me in a different direction, one thread led me to believe I needed to create a table entry for the filter in table TBD16 via BD81 for later attachment to the BAPI in the Distribution Model. Before this, I created two Z* ALE Object Type records for plant and material type in table TBD11 via BD95 for what I thought would provide a lookup back in BD81 for creation of a new filter record, but these objects are not found. Per the help, I am also unclear as to whether I would need to set up Receiver determination or Parameter filtering, nor where to make this step in the configuration happen?
Can anyone point me back in the correct direction to get a data filter set up for this BAPI within the Distribution Model ?
Thanks - Mike

Just to clarify, what I am having trouble with is finding where exactly to plug in the name of the plant to be filtered? If using a message type such as MATMAS in a distribution model, it is very straight forward to navigate down from the 'Data filter active', and assign a value to whatever field you wish to filter via the 'List of Values'. But in this example, message type QPMK required use of the BAPI MasterInspectionChar, and therefore the different method in creating the filter.
I cannot find similar functionality when navigating the BAPI related row, for MasterInspectionChar. The 'Change Filter' dialog popup displays a row for 'Container' and then 3 more rows containing 'BAPI structure...'. Clicking the 'Attribute' checkbox on any of these rows sets 'Data filter active' as a node under the BAPI. Double clicking the 'Data filter active' brings me back into the same dialog, and selecting any row with an attempt at this point to create a filter results in the 'Select node: content-dependent parameter filtering' warning. Is this warning occuring because of missing configuration?
Thanks - Mike

Savitzky golay filter for finding second derivative

Hello friends,
I want to find second derivative using Savitzky golay filter for the data as shown in image.
Three different spacings are used.
Region AB and EF= ∆f1
Region BC and DE=∆f2
Region CD=∆f3
Can some one help me to understand to to decide side points and polynomial order for my input data.?
Thanks in advance.

The polynomial order must be at least one larger than the highest derivative. So a third order polynomial is required for a second deriviative. In general it is better to keep the polynomial order as low as possible while getting a good fit to the data.
The number of side points is somewhat arbitrary and depends on how much smoothing is needed. Often some experimentation and judgement is required.
Have you considered resampling the data to create a new dataset with uniform sampling throughout? That might be easier than trying to match derivatives at the transition points.There are several resampling VIs available.
How many data points do you have in each segment?

IPhone 5s with hearing aids via Bluetooth. Need to use the phone for voice, what's the best distance that the mic will pick up your voice

I wear hearing aids that are made for Apple, the audio will go into the hearing aids via Bluetooth. I'll need to use my phone for voice only.. I drive for work and have a wok oh one too and both are synced to a bluetooh headset (LG). I'm trying to figure out how to talk on both phones ( use speakerphone on work phone?) without using a bluretooh headset. I don't know the range of the microphone on the IPHON, thinking about hanging it around my neck or put the phone into a stand/holder on the dash and use the speakerphone feature. Looking for ideas to make this simple

You can't do anything with that problem.
Take your iPhone to the closest Apple Store and they will give you new one for 200€/$ or if you bought your iPhone in less than 12 months you will get it for free.

Hi mafiose15,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
You can find the instructions in this article:

How to use path names for library filter?

Hi all,
I have been looking for a way to use the library filter functionality to show only images in a particular folder (or subfolder thereof). From the help pages [http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/3.0/Using/WSAB7B303E-081D-4617-BF47-B4B8D3D49CC3.htm l] I found that the image path is included when you filter using 'any searchable field'.
However, I do not seem to be able to use a full path name, just the individual directory names. To give an example, I can locate files in c:\data\photos using 'contains all: c data photos', but this will also select images in 'c:\data\someotherproject\photos'. I have tried all combinations of slashes and backslashes, but have found no solution to this problem. Does anyone know what the internal representation for the path name is, and if it's possible to search for it?
Just to pre-empt the obvious answer: I know that you can simply click on a folder to show its contents. However, using the filter bar would be a more permanent selection of a working directory, which remains when you click on a collection, for example.
Thanks.
Simon

Sorry, I could have been clearer.
What I'm trying to achieve is the following. My computer contains photos by myself, my wife and others, organised in three main folders. Having them in separate catalogs isn't convenient, because we often have photos of the same event (outings, holidays). However, most of the time I only want to work on my photos, and my wife wants to work on hers. A directory filter would be a good and fool-proof way of doing things. I am currently using a special keyword to do this, but I must remember to apply the correct keyword when importing.
Adding a folder as a favorite only works to select that folder in its entirety. What I would like to do is to have a 'master' folder selected and then use Lightroom as I normally would (select folders, collections, etc) Filtering by path name would enable me to do just that - and it does, except that there are false positives due to not being able to enter a full path name.
A smart collection has the same problem: the 'Folder' rule doesn't seem to support paths. And even if it did, it's not possible to select two collections with a logical 'and' operator, unless you make a new smart collection for each possibility.
My current keyword workaround is functional, but slightly error-prone. And in any case, if 'any searchable field' includes the file path, it stands to reason that there should be a way to match that with the entire path. The documentation isn't clear about this, so I hope that anyone can shed some light on this.

Looking for a 58mm protective or UV filter for a Canon Macro Lens EF using a Cannon MR-14EX Macro Ring Lite flash unit.
The lens has an external groove for the ring flash pawls, but filters I've found do not. The external diameter of the filters does not allow the ring flash pawls to reach the lens groove. I either need a filter with an external groove or one with no part larger diameter than the threads. Any ideas? Thanks, Tom

Which lens are you using? This adapter will work, so long as the front element doesn't rotate.
