Is it possible to change an existing join in Plus?

In Discoverer Plus, is there a way to change a join in an existing report? Currently I only have access to Desktop (10.1.2.2), but if it can be done in Plus that might be something worth pursuing.
My situation is, I have a fairly complex worksheet where I need to change an existing join to an outer join. I can't change the join itself, in Admin - that would affect other reports that use it. I know in Desktop, if I remove all the items from the joined table (including calcs and conditions that reference it), then add them back in, it will prompt me for which join to use. However, in this case, by the time I remove and re-add all those items, I've practically had to rewrite the report.
I'm pretty sure that's what I'll have to do but I'm hoping someone will be aware of a workaround that I'm missing. If getting access to Plus will make things easier, it would be worth it.
Thanks!

Hi
I'm afraid you will fare no better in Plus either as the same thing will happen there. You will have to remove all of the items that use the existing join then as soon as you start to add them back in you will be asked to pick a join.
There are lots of good reasons to use Plus, this isn't one of them as the functionality, or lack of depending upon your point of view, is the same.
Best wishes

  • Action not possible because change version exist

    Dear All,
    We are at SRM5.0- Extended Classic scenario and facing issues for changing some of the PO documents.
    When the buyers are trying to change the PO, error is getting populated as 'Action not possible because change version exist'. This error is not allowing us to change the PO.
    These POs are changed in the past and all the relevant changes are reflected to backend system with no issues. In other words Change Versions do exists for these POs. Flags for Change Version completion is also set and all historical versions can be seen but without change history.
    Additional information -
    1. No approval workflows are implemented for PO.
    2. No locks are active for these documents.
    Appreciate your help!
    Regards,
    Sagar

    Hi Sagar and thanks for your response,
    well, actually the active change version won't be preserved in any case. It would be overwritten in the first scenario, and deleted in the second one. The reason why I'd like to have this "brute force" method is to face an eventual human error. Suppose that a disalignment between R3 and SRM has been created; my report basically "alligns" the SRM version to the corresponding R3 one. And suppose also that the user made a mistake so that the program must be used a second time. I'd like to provide a way to "UNDO" the first execution of the program, that is to say: i'd like to provide a way to OVERWRITE the actual active, change version, or alternatively delete the change version that the report did create the first time it has been launched.
    Hope it's a bit clearer now
    Thanks for any hint/suggestion you can give me
    EDIT: Oh, and please... can you provide me further information about your solution? I mean, use of that FM to unlock an active version of the PO and then the proper call to BBP_PD_PO_UPDATE specifying how you managed input params. Thanks a lot

  • Is it possible to change an existing PDF from brochure format (2 columns) to single page?

    I have an old PDF, but not the source document. It is in two-column format, that is, two pages of text on one PDF page. I've tried converting to Word in Acrobat Pro XI, but that still preserves the two-column format. It's too big and complex to reformat in Word. I'd like to simply have each of the columns on their own page.

    You can copy the page and crop the left and the rigth column.

  • ** Is it possible to change the IP of the existing Technical System in SLD?

    Hi Friends,
    I want to do RFC to RFC scenario. When I try to import the RFC from the Business System, RFC is not imported. When I looked the corresponding technical system in the SLD, it is having the old IP address. That's why I am not able to import. So, is it possible to change the IP of the existing technical system in the SLD ?
    Kindly reply.

  • How to change an existing BOMGroup with ABAP

    Hi!
    Is there a way to change an existing BOMGroup? I found the BAPI "BAPI_MATERIAL_BOM_GROUP_CREATE" which is ok to create BOMGroups. But I couldn't find a BAPI to change them. If this is not possible, is there a way to delete a BOMGroup and create it again with the new values? I can delete a BOMGroup within the SAPGui by deleting all BOMs attached to it. To do this by code, I need a way to get/find all attached BOMs of the BOMGroup and then delete them one by one... Then I can create the BOMGroup again.
    Thanks,
    Konrad

    Hi Konrad,
    There are no BAPI's available but you can acheive using other function modules:
    To do changes using change number
    CS_CL_P_BOM_MASS_CHANGE                 
    CS_CL_S_BOM_CHANGE                              
    CS_CL_S_BOM_CHANGE_COMPLETE                                                                               
    To delete BOM      
    C162_BOM_DELETE  
    To create/change the BOM using the Category
    CS_OV_BOM_EDIT                
    Thanks

  • Possible to change the room laout (Navigation)

    I just succesfully created a coll. room in which it is possible for peple to discuss and upload docs. Now is it possible to change:
    - The navigation: Edit names and place em in the second level navigation
    - Is it possible to customize the documents part to my needs, like add more folders, put in some opening text and color. This is all pretty standard and i want to use this to develop a customized one. So:Can i import this in NWDS or sommit?!
    Additionaly: when you would make a page for your customers that should be exactly like they wish, but has great similarity to existing collaboration tools. Would you then:
    - Use the existing collaboration and customize.
    - Create an own application
    Is it possible to download these kind of applications from others?

  • Change of existing assets class description

    Hi Friends,
    I have a query and the details are given below:
    We intend to change the existing assets class description.
    Is it possible!
    What is the impact of such changes?
    As per my observation / opinion, we cannot change the asset class description after configuring the account determination and the other transactions were carried out.
    Is it correct? Can any one advise me pls.
    GB

    Hello
    Asset classes have some default parameters.
    Description can be changed any time.
    This data is at header level and does not impact transactions.
    You should be able to change it.
    See if you can change the description at table level, check Table ANKT or ANKA

  • HT204053 is it possible to change your account to a new icloud ID?

    Is it possible to change your name in [email protected] and transfer your account space and material saved from the old account to the new one?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately it's not possible to change that address and if you create a new account you can't transfer your existing content.
    if you don't like the email address you have created, you might create an alias and use that instead.

  • Is it possible to change size of selectBooleanCheckbox?

    This is an ADF 11.1.1.3 application with a selectBooleanCheckbox in a Tree Table. The user is requesting a larger checkbox- the box itself, not the area around it. I have not found a way to do this. Is it possible?

    I am afraid it is not possible to change the size of a SelectBooleanCheckbox in a supported/documented manner. I did have partial success using skinning and an undocumented skin selector:
    af|selectBooleanCheckbox::native-input { width:30px; height:30px; }This skin selector is undocumented (e.g. it is not supported and it could not exist in future releases), it does not work on MS Internet Explorer and more important - it does not work on readonly checkboxes, so I did not find a way to modify the size of a readonly checkbox. For some reason if you use the CSS attributes "width" and "height" in a documented skin selector (for example, in the selector af|selectBooleanCheckbox::content-input) they will be ignored and will not be included in the compiled CSS skin. Sorry, but this is all I was able to find.

  • PM orders change already existing purchase requisitions

    How can we avoid that changes to an existing work order, e.g. adding a new service or component will reset already reased purchase orders. The system does not recognize if requisitions are already converted to purchase orders or approval steps have already been performed.
    The external procurement settings need to be on "collective creation of purchase requisitions".  Maybe there is a user exit available that anybody knows more about, within that we can control the status of requisitions and avoid above described behaviour?
    Many thanks for your help and replies,

    Hi,
    Yes, It is possible to change plant on existing PO's provided the particular PO line item is not doing GRN and MIRO.
    If not done GRN and MIRO, the particular PO opened in ME22N T-code and selected particular line item deleted and then you have to create new line item give input data material code,plant,quantity,gross price, storage location and SAVE the PO.
    Hope, it is very useful for you.

  • What is the maximum size of the application to download to iPad via GSM. Is it 20 Mb? Is it possible to change this parameter?

    What is the maximum size of application to download to iPad via GSM. Is it 20 Mb? Does exist any possibility to change this parameter? In the towm where I live there is lack of wifi and the only possibiluty to download something from Apple Store is to use GSM/3G.

    It has partly to do with the carrier.  From what I've summized from reviews & feedback online is since Apple iPhone was the most advanced phone on the market when it was initially released the carriers were concerned about using up bandwidth with the apps & movie downloads so a limit was intially set for 10mb max on 3G connection.  Later apple raised the limit, against the carrier's advice, to 20mb max.
    The interesting part is the limitation doesn't exist on Android phone when they also have large apps & movies which are available for download & they use the same networks the iPhone uses!  So why are the iPhone users still limited to the amount they can download at once while the Android users are not.  They pay the same for thier data plans, if not less in some cases, that iPhone users do!
