IP Problem - Fox Formula - VARV with an hierarchy variable

Hello,
I would like to use the value of a variable but a hierarchy variable into a Planning function type formula
I use the code but the system give an error.
The first code :
DATA CHA_PF TYPE 0PROFIT_CTR.
CHA_PF = VARV(EVHAPF01, HIENM = PROFIT_CTR_BUDGET, VERSION= A).
The second code :
DATA CHA_PF TYPE 0PROFIT_CTR.
FOREACH CHA_PF IN VARIABLE EVHAPF01, HIENM = PROFIT_CTR_BUDGET, VERSION= A.
I have the same error message : Variable PROFIT_CTR_BUDGET is not available in an active version
The Profit Center hierarchie has the name PROFIT_CTR_BUDGET and it's active
The variable EVHAPF01 has the characteristics : Hierarchy Node, Autorisation, Single Value, Variable is Ready for Input
Could you please give me the correct code or the correct manipulation ?
Thank you

Hi,
Please check sap note 1086496 . This would solve your issue.
If you use hierarchy node variables in formulas, you must specify additional context information in the FOREACH statement. You must always specify the hierarchy name.
To do this, write HIENM = 'Variable for the hierarchy names' as an additional argument.
If the hierarchy is time-dependent, you must specify a variable for the time. To do this, write: DATETO = 'Name for the date variable'.
If the hierarchy is version-dependent, you must specify a variable for the version. To do this, write: VERSION = 'Name for the version variable'.
You must specify the information in the form of a global variable, that is, not with a variable that is defined as local in the formula. The syntax is as follows, for example:
FOREACH GES IN VARIABLE HIERVARBER, HIENM = HIE_NAM_1, VERSION= HIER_VERS.
The hierarchy is version-dependent in the example.
In your case, create a variable for hierarchy PROFIT_CTR_BUDGET and use it in VARV and Foreach.
Thanks,

Problem with Nested loop in Fox-Formula

Dear Experts,
Let s share the scenario :
MaterialGroups with following Keys for Example AAAA, BBBB, CCCC..., Materialgroups are selected in the 1st input ready query, which is assigned to DataProvider DP_1 in a webtemplate.
every Materialgroup has several Materials, for instance:
Materialgroup AAAA has following Materials: AAAA10, AAAA11, AAAA12, AAAA13...
Materials are selected in a second input ready Query, which is assigned to a second DataProvider DP_2 in the Same Webtemplate as the query 1.
Both Materialgroup and Material are based on the same Aggreagtion level and same real time cube.
I want to copy the input values for every MaterialGroup ( 1st query, DP_1) only to it s own Materials (2cond Query, DP_2).
To resolve this Issue i wrote the following Fox Formula code with a nested loop, however it does not work properly. when I m debugging the code, i could release that the second Loop was ignored.but wehn i replace the second loop (nested loop) with a fixed value it s seems to work properly
DATA MG1 TYPE MATG.<------ MaterialGroup
DATA MT1 TYPE MAT.<----
Material
DATA S1 TYPE STRING.
DATA S2 TYPE STRING.
DATA S3 TYPE STRING
DATA K TYPE F.
DATA Z TYPE F.
FOREACH MG1.
To check Materialgroup in debugger
S1= MG1.
BREAK-POINT.
K = {KEYfIG, #, MG1}.
BREAK-POINT.
FOREACH MT1. <----- if i set MT1 to a fixed value like AAAA11 then S3 get the wished value namely AAAA
S2 = MT1.
BREAK-POINT.
S3 = SUBSTR (MT1, 0, 4).
BREAK-POINT.
IF S1 = S3.
{KEYFIG, MT1, #} = K.
following Statement is only used To check in debugger if Material has become the same Materialgroup value
Z = {KEYFIG, MT1, #}.
BREAK-POINT.
ENDIF.
ENDFOR.
ENDFOR.

Selection screen issue with hierarchy variable, due to compounding

Hello people,
I'm having this odd effect with a Hierarchy variable in the selection screen of a query, the IObject is 0PROFIT_CTR.
When I display the hierarchy values and pick up one of them, it returns ok to the sel.screen in this format: CO_AREA + "/" + ProfitCtr Value, example: "CANI/AR03". (CO_AREA is compounding of 0PROFIT_CTR).
Now, if I hit the "check" button in the selection screen, the system converts the value to an different one, by repeating twice the compounding (CO Area) value, therefore creating an incorrect value like this: "CANI/CANIAR03". Note the string after the "/" is supposed to have only the profit center value, however now has also CO Area value (repeated).
This value goes effectively to the query execution, but because this value does not exist, I get a message "SID value not found" and the effect is that the query does not get filtered by the value I picked up.
Note, the same happens if I go directly to the query execution without hitting the check button, as it seems internally the system its doing the same conversion before sending the value to the query.
I can't figure out if this is a problem of the variable, the hierarchy or the selection screen mechanism.... but I cannot find an explanation/solution.
I trust someone has already facing this!!
cheers and happy August to everyone.

Sorry, but actually its the parent that needs tagging with "Never Share", not the level 0 member, so Alt_Entity1 and Alt_Entity2 etc, see Essbase DBA guide
understanding Implied
Sharing
The shared member property defines a shared data relationship explicitly. Some
members are shared even if you do not explicitly set them as shared. These
members are said to be implied shared members.
If you do not want a member to be shared implicitly, mark the parent as Never Share so
that the data is duplicated, and is not shared. See Understanding Shared Members for an
explanation of how shared members work.
So in the example above
Entity Dimension:
E1 (user has access)
E2
E3(user has access)
E4
Alt_Entity
Alt_Entity1 - Set to "Never Share"E1 (sharedmember)
Alt_Entity2E2 (sharedmember)
Alt_Entity3 - Set to "Never Share"E3 (sharedmember)
Alt_Entity4E4 (sharedmember

Error While working with 2 hierarchy

Hi Experts - While working with 2 hierarchy variable and 2 node variables my webi report not returing any data.
But in RSRT i got data... Where could be a problem.
Any Inputs.

Sure - Ingo. One more behaviour i checked.Sequence of fetching the obj. in Webi.
for example - i have node variables on gl account and cost center both.
if in webi first i fetch gl accnt and then cost center then node variable is working on the object which i fetch later , here its means it works on cost center. But As i select any node from GL all data go vanish...
Actually selection of one node at a time from either hierarchy is working but If i select two nodes from two diffrent hierarchy it always fails.
so if i select one node from cost center and one from GL not working.
Here is MDX when i select both the nodes from two hierarchy - which fails.
SELECT { [Measures].[4GW5A7EF38T3R9YP5WSPWMT0Z] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( { Descendants( [0GL_ACCOUNT ZPLA].[LEVEL00].MEMBERS, [0GL_ACCOUNT ZPLA].[LEVEL07], LEAVES) } , { Descendants( [0COSTCENTER 1000CC_LOBLAW].[LEVEL00].MEMBERS, [0COSTCENTER 1000CC_LOBLAW].[LEVEL06], LEAVES) } ) DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION ON ROWS FROM [0CCA_M20/ZCCA_M20_Q0007] SAP VARIABLES [!V000001] INCLUDING [0GL_ACCOUNT ZPLA] [!V000002] INCLUDING [0GL_ACCOUNT ZPLA].[ZPLA 0HIER_NODE] [!V000003] INCLUDING [0COSTCENTER 1000CC_LOBLAW] [!V000004] INCLUDING [0COSTCENTER 1000CC_LOBLAW].[1000CC_LOBLAW 0HIER_NODE]
Here is a MDX which run sucessfully when i select one node from one hierarchy -

Hierarchy variable in Webi report

Dear all ,
I'm expirence some problems in the Olap Universe , my question is :
I can't see data in Webi report .
Step 1 Create the webi report
Step 2 Run the query
Step 3 Select the Hierarchy variables in prompt parameter
Step 4 Get the msg "No data to retreive "
I can see the data in BW with this Hierarchy variable so i don't understand what it's missing .
Thanks a lot

Dimension based on hierarchy variable not showing attributes

Hi all.
I created a BEx query with a hierarchy variable on 0MATERIAL ready for input, so that when I execute the query it prompts me to select one of the hierarchies node. I created a universe on top of this query and the prompt is also present in the universe, as it should be. When I execute the webi report selecting on of the hierarchies available there is no problem. But when I execute the webi report without selecting any hierarchies (I want the report to show without the hierarchy bahavior), the dimension L01 material shows the values, but the L01 Material details are all empty.
Anybody know a solution for this problem?
Using BO XI 3.1 SP2 latest fixpack available.
Regards,
André

Hi Ingo.
I think I may not be able to generate this log, the basis team refuses to change the registry entries on Windows server. Are there other ways you can analyse this problem?
I think this problem is related to the fact that the dimensions L00 to L06 have a select statement like .[LEVEL01].. and the details are like .[LEVEL01].[[20MATERIAL]].[Value], and when we run the webi report without choosing any value for the hierarchy, the !V000006 is not being properly substitute to "0MATERIAL". But this is a hunch. I tested creating a dimension with select statement .[LEVEL01] and substituting the details as well, then it works, but this is not a solution, because this "adaptation" leads to others problems and errors executing the report.

How to display Hierarchy Variable in BI 7.0 WAD

Hi Experts
I have a variable for Cost Center which is a Hierarchy Variable and not a Hierarchy Node Variable. I am using BI WAD 7.0 and my requirement is that the user wants to see for what Hierarchy s/he ran for.
I am using a Information Web Item whihc is under Advanced tab. After dragging that I check the box for Variables so that the user see all the variables he ran for and after s/he prints its more precise report.
My problem is I cant see the Hierarchy variable value in my Web Template ....I can see at the variable POP UP screen I enter my Hierarchy but after executing it I dont see my Hierarchy variable value.
Your suggestions will be reciprocated with Points.
Thanks

Hello Experts,
To substantiate my earlier question ...I have 3 Hierarchies for 0COSTCENTER
In the WAD under the Information Web ITem i check the box for
Display Variables (VARIABLES_VISIBLE)
I have 3 variables
1) Hierarchy Variable : user will pick 1 out of 3 Hierarchy
(not a node but entire Hierarchy)
2) Fiscal Year/period
3) Value type
But I can see only 2 variables after the Web template is executed , the user wants to see for what hierarchy it ran when it prints the report
Your suggestions are supremely appreciated
Thanks

Hierarchy variable description not displaying correctly

Hi all,
I'm using 0ORGUNIT hierarchy variable in several queries either based on the characteristic 0ORGUNIT, or based on the navigational attribute 0EMPLOYEE_0ORGUNIT.
When I execute the query with 0EMPLOYEE_0ORGUNIT hierarchy variable the selection node description displays the Medium description, which is correct.
Whe I execute the query with 0ORGUNIT hierarchy variable the selection node displays the Short description, which is incorrect, as I need it to display the Medium description.
The settings for the object in both query properties are set to display Text Medium Length, and 0ORGUNIT infoobject Business Explorer tab dipslays text, text type is medium Length and bex description is long text, but still when I try to select the node in the parameter selection before query execution the description differs in both cases, any idea why??
Please advice, much appreciated.
Thanks!
M.

Hi,
I understand what you're saying, and unfortunately I can't attach any screenshots here but both queries use the Medium Description in the object properties and it's maintained in the text table /BI0/TORGUNIT as well (short and medium).
However, the BEx Descpription is only in short and long text, there is nothing I can change or maintain about that.
It looks like everything is as it should be, because for one query I can see the medium text properly, but not for the other, even though I'm using the exact same settings, apart from the fact that in one query I use 0ORGUNIT and in the other it's used as a navigational object 0EMPLOYEE_0ORGUNIT.
It's a funny thing indeed....
Thanks

Calculating a Leap Year with a FOX Formula

Hi to everybody.
Is it posible to calculate a leap year using BPS in BW 3.5 with a FOX formula?
The code i need to write is something like this:
if ((year % 4 == 0) AND ((year % 100 != 0) OR (year % 400 == 0)) then
it is a leap year;
else
it isn´t a leap year;
endif;
The problem i have is that my variable year is an standard type 0CALYEAR and I cannot do i.e.
Year MOD 4, and save this value to an integer because 0CALYEAR and INTEGER are different types of variables.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance!

Edited by: Ivan Lopez on Jan 15, 2008 5:24 PM

Hi,
Eventhough variable is on the characteristic 0CALYEAR, you can assign the variable value to an integer in FOX.
Declare a local variable of type integer.
DATA YEAR TYPE I.
YEAR = VARV(variable).
Now you can do MOD operations on YEAR.

Problem with the hierarchial fields in a Purchase order xml report

Hi,
I am having a problem with the hierarchy problem. We are populating attribute 15 of a PO header. some times it can be null. FYI, we are using 11.5.10 instance where oracle supports direct PO template rather than having a rdf file.
And now in the xml report, if attribute15 of po header is not null then it is fine.
But if attribute15 is null, then the template is picking from the next available attribute15 that is from the po lines. As the line level group of "LINES" is between the "PO_DATA" (header group), hence the template is checking for next available attribute15.
Can any one please suggest how to design the template where we can make the template to check only for that tag at the header level group rather than the line level group tag?
Thank You in advance.

Problem with hierarchy variable while displaying query in Portal

Hi,
I came up with an problem with a query in the portal. The problem is :
I have one query which is displayed in the portal. The Query has hierarchial selection criteria. I am executing the same query using analyzer. Its taking the variable from the selection and displaying it on the analyzer. I have used the option to " display the query on web " from the BEX query designer. From there its opening and displaying the results with the given selection criteria.
Where as when i open the query seperately in portal, its not displaying the results.
I came to know from one of my colleague that the porblem is with the Web item and the hierarchial variable declared in WAD was different from the variable declared in the BEX Query designer.
I never Worked with WAD. I tried finding out the variable definition. But i was unable to find out where the Hierarchial variable was defined.
Please help me out regarding the same.

The problem is sovled.

How to realize special scenario with FOX formula - FOREACH, variables

Hello,
we want to use the integrated planning for the following thing within the portal:
A salesman should add manual values (planned turnover) for his top 10 customers. The rest of his yearly budget should be distributed automatically and equally to the rest of his customers.
I thought a lot about it and arrived at the conclusion that:
- we have somehow to put the salesman number into a variable maybe also the year for which the planning should be done -- Which possibilities are given to do this?
- We need an additional flag that tells if this customer has to be planned / was planned manually.
After the manual planning a planning function (FOX formula) has to be executed in order to
1. get the budget that was already planned manually
    use of FOREACH in combination with an IF clause
    -- Which kind of FOREACH do I have to use?
2. calculated total budget - manual planned budget = budget that has to be distributed
    after FOREACH
3. count on how many customers the distribution has to be done and calculate the
    turnover per customer (rest budget / counted customers)
    use of another FOREACH loop which counts every value that hasn't got the flag set
4. distribute the remaining budget on the customers that weren't planned manually
    -- Can it be done with something like turnover=value that should be assigned ?
Maybe it's simple to realize this scenario but I'm a absolute "newbie" on that theme.
Thanks

Hi,
I have been following this thread for quite long, here's my take on this
1. Please create all the master data like sales man, customers in BI. for the key customers add an attribute to key customer which can be a single character field.
2. Add Sales man as an attribute to customer master and maintain values for each customer.
3. Create an exit variable for customer number, this should read value from the sales man variable and populate all the key customers.
4. Create an agg level with the above 2 and the required time characteristic. There will be 3 variables on the input ready query a. sales man number b. key customer exit variable c. some time period variable.
5. Create a planning function of type generate combination for the agg level created in the above step. Add this function to the work book or the web template.
6. Now salesman will be able to go in and create his budget for the key customers.
Annual budget entry
1. Create an agg level without customer, add salesman and time characteristics.
2. create a query which will allow to enter data (yearly budget) for the salesman.
Allocation to non key customers
1. Create an agg level that should create the missing combinations sales man and non key customers. If designed properly the first agg level can also be used for this function.
2. Create a fox function which with foreach loop for customer and sales man if the amount is 0 add 1 to counter, also read the value wtih customer as blank (yearly budget), lastly if the amount is not blank sum up the amount. This will help in getting the balance amount.
3. get balance figure as total - allocated. One more foreach loop same as above if the amount is blank then amount = balance / counter.
Tried to answer
thanks

Problems with InfoArea Hierarchy ( 0INFOPROV - INFOAREAHIER )

We are securing our BI data using the InfoArea Hierarchy (INFOAREAHIER). When trying to set up the 0TCAIPROV characteristic in an analysis authorization, we get the following error:
System error in program CL_RRHI_INCL_CREATOR_TID and form FINDDOUBLICATES-1- (see long text)
We get this message when trying to populate the 'Nodes", after the hierarchy has been selected.
I found an SAP Note (954673) that sounds like it would address the problem but it doesn't.
Other issues that we have with this Hierarchy:
The hierarchy is hidden when trying to locate it in RSA1. All other hierarchies appear under the info object that it pertains to, but this one cannot be located. This also seems to be fixed in a SAP note (960176) but we are at support pack 17 and still have the problem.
Any time we make a change to the hierarchy, it appears that the changes are not "activated" until the following day....the new nodes, changes, etc are not available to be used until the next day. If an info provider is moved from one node to another, the security authorizations treat the info provider as being in it's old node until the next day. Our Basis team is not aware of any nightly process that would be causing this.
Any help with these issues would be greatly appreciated.

Let's just keep this one alive. When we try to make changes to the infoarea hierarchy in RSA1, like add a node, our security is ruined and we lose one of the main table entries that controls security in table RSRHIEDIR_OLAP. We can only maintain the hierarchy in transaction RSA1OLD.
Anyone know how to get around that?

Type error while calling function module with in FOX formula

Hi,
I am getting following error while calling function module from FOX Formula:
"Types of parameter DAY_IN () and variable J_CALDAY(D) are inconsistent"
Following is the code:

      IMPORTING
         LAST_DAY_OF_MONTH = N_CALDAY.
    {KYF, N_CALDAY} = {KYF, L_CALDAY}.
ENDFOR.
Import parameter DAY_IN is of type sy-datum (that inturn is data element SYDATUM of data type DATS - same as 0CALDAY). Not sure why error is being thrown. Any idea? Thanks.
Edited by: SAP_BOY on Dec 4, 2009 5:26 PM

Hi,
I think It will not identify ,though you have (data element SYDATUM of data type DATS - same as 0CALDAY).Check it out by assigning it through a variable of type D.
Data I_CALDAY TYPE D.
Hope it may work out.

Problem executing BEx query Hierarchy variable with default value

My query has hierarchy variable on 0MOVETYPE char with a default value . The 0MOVETYPE variabale restriction is in Static filter area.
I got timeout on query execution not because of amount of data but because of this hier. variable. Any ideas why?
Notes:
a) The hierarchy and the 0MOVETYPE characteristic are active and correct.
b) I've tried RSRT check, but got the same timeout error.
c) query executes fine on dev environment. I'm getting timeouts on PRD (as I say not because of amont of data)

Hi,
1. Try generating the report in RSRT and see if query runs correctly
2. Looks like you are dafulating onto top node which contains whole data may be. This is not correct as it will definitely slow down the report based on amount of data it contains. Try to remove default and try first whether query is opening.
3. You can put some lower level defualt to understand whether amount of data is the issue.
4. Try to increase the server time out setting and see if it runs.
Thanks and regards
