Etext, xpath and custom defined level

I am using XML Publisher in EBS.
I am running into an issue with xpath syntax in an etext template.
I have XML as follows:
OutboundPaymentInstruction
+PaymentInstructionInfo
+PaymentProcessProfile
+PaymentFormat
+Instruction Totals
+Instruction Grouping
+Payer
+BankAccount
</InstructionGrouping>
+OutboundPayment
</OutboundPaymentInstruction>
From OutboundPayment level, I can navigate back to payer info by using this syntax
../InstructionGrouping/Payer/Address/AddressLine1
However, I need to define an additional level as follows:
<DEFINE LEVEL>     PaymentPayee
<BASE LEVEL>     OutboundPayment
<GROUPING CRITERIA>     SupplierNumber
<END DEFINE LEVEL>     PaymentPayee
How do I get the payer information now? I thought it should be
../../InstructionGrouping/Payer/Address/AddressLine1
as OutboundPayment is now nested below PaymentPayee, but this doesn't work. Any suggestions please?
Thank you,
Tam.

Hi
Sorry for the delay. My User got locked for some time.
I have seen the document you sent me on my email id.
<b> I noticed in the case where the Search help is working fine, there is no space in between the contents of the Fixed values and their short text under the value range tab of the Domain element.
But in the case, where there is a problem with the search help. There both the Fixed values and their short description is having a space in between the words.
Try maintaining COND_A instead of "COND A". Also with the short description use "COND_A" instead of "COND A".</b>
<u>I hope this will resolve the issue.</u>
<b>Update me once you have any issues.</b>
Please reward suitable points, incase it suits your requirements.

Stock below defined level message

Hi,
I have a requirement from a client to display a message on screen when the stock of a material falls below a user-defined level, can anyone advise if there is a way of achieving this using standard SAP? Perhaps something similar to the MRP exception message that is displayed when safety stock is below the defined level.

Hi,
I assume that you need this in order to find out when you are running out of stock, if this is the case you may try to use MD07 that will show you how many days of stock you have in the plant based on your issues.
Kind regards,

Additional custom level on Time dimension ?

Hi,
I´m very new to OWB, so I don't know if what I want to do is even possible at all.
I created a time dimension using the "Time Dimension Wizard", selecting all possible levels (year, quarter, month, day), but I also need to have one extra level: semester. You see, we need that level for our reports.
I tried to open the mappings that were generated automatically but Oh, boy! does that look complicated!!! Some operators call time functions but when looking them up, they're in packages that come wrapped, so basically I have no clue as to how the data is being generated by Oracle.
Do you know of any way to accomplish this? Basically have a time dimension with the levels:
Year -> Semester -> Quarter -> Month -> Day
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi JP,
Thanks for the tip.
I created a new "time" dimension manually. I basically made a copy of the attributes and levels of a normal time dimension, plus the new fields for "semester". I also defined the corresponding fields for "END DATE" and "TIME SPAN".
Now, I can populate this dimension, based on a script that someone else posted in this forum. I'm not sure, though, that Oracle OLAP will recognize this as a "time" dimension, will it? I mean, OWB adds some extra fields for a time dimension created with the wizard (like "level type"). Will this affect the performance or behavior of my cubes? Or, can I say that this is as real a time dimension as one created with the wizard in OWB?
Again, thanks a lot for your support.

Error "You may only define methods within "CLASS class IMPLEMENTATION"

We have code in LMIGOSMC so that the vendor batch number appears in the MIGO transaction for certain movement types. We have created another, custom movement type in which this functionality should be available so I need to add it to LMIGOSMC. When I go in and try to make the modification I am getting the following error:
"You may only define methods within "CLASS class IMPLEMENTATION ...ENDCLASS".
What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
You are not doing anything wrong with regard to the syntax error you are getting. During the syntax check of include program LMIGOSMC, the system is not aware of the CLASS... ENDCLASS statements within the program LMIGOSM4. Try the syntax check at the LMIGOSM4 program level (or even better, at the SAPLMIGO level) and you will see that the error is not given.

Mapping the Fact table to different levels of a dimension

Hi,
I have a fact table which stores the data for 4 levels of the dimensions. The aggregation method was taken care by PL/SQL and the fact table will have the data for all the 4 levels. When im trying to map all the levels to a column in the fact table using the OEM, it is generating the F KEY constraints referncing the columns mapped for the various levels of the dimension.
The problem is that im using a denormalised table for maintaing the values of the dimension. So the columns mapped for the levels(Except for the lowest) can't have the unique key defined on it. The cube is not getting created because of the error in creating the F KEY.
Can u please suggest how to map this fact table.
Thnks,
Manohar Vanama

I am not exactly clear on your schema but I believe you are trying to map tables which are not strict star or snowflake. This means that you cannot use CWM1 (and OEM), unless you change the structure of the tables. You might be able to map the tables with CWM2. The document below will assist you:

Is it possible to define a function in the MathScript Node

Is it possible to define a function in the MathScript Node

You can not define a function inside of a MathScript Node, but only because it isn't necessary. The way custom functions work in MathScript is that they are saved in .m files located in paths in the MathScript path list. When the MathScript compiler receives a function that it doesn't recognize, then it searches for it in the path list, and upon finding it, compiles and loads the function. You can specify these search paths manually by going to File>>MathScript Preferences from the MathScript Window or dynamically by using the path() command within a script.
To answer your original question, if you would like to create custom functions dynamically within a VI, then you can simply build your custom functions using strings and then save them to an ASCII file with the extension .m. You could either save the file to a path already in the MathScript path list or you could dynamically specify the path by passing the path into a MathScript Node as a string and by using the path() command at the beginning of your script to set it.

Why does OWB 9.2 generate UK's on higher levels of a dimension?

When you specify levels in a dimension, OWB 9.2 generates unique key constraints in the table properties for every level, but only the UK on the lowest level is visible in the configuration properties. Why then are these higher level UK's generated? Is this a half baked attempt to implement the possiblility to generate a snow flake model in OWB?
Jaap.

Piotr, Roald and others,
This is indeed a topic we spend a lot of our time on these past months. We are addressing this as (in my old days I had the same problem as a consultant) we know that this is a common problem.
So the solution is one that goes in 2 directions:
- Snowflake support
- Advanced dimension data loading
Snowflake is obvious, may not be desired for various reasons but we will start supporting this and loading data for it in mapping.
If you want a star table, you will know that a completely flattened table with day at the lowest level will not be able to get you a unique entry for month. So what people tend to do is one of the following:
- Proclaim the first of the month the Month entry point (this stays closest to the star table and simply relies on semantics on both ETL and query side).
- Create extra day level entries which simbolize the month, so you have a day level with extra entries
- Create views, extra tables etc to cover the extra data
- Create a data set within the tables that solves the key problem
We have opted for the last one. What you need to do for this is a set of records that uniquely identify any record in any level. Then you add a key which links to the dimension at the same point (a dimension key), so all facts always use this surrogate key to link (makes life in query tools easier).
For a time dimension you will have a set of day records with their months etc in them (the regular star). Then you add a set of records with NULL in the day having months and up. And you go up the hierarchy. For this we will have the ETL logic (in other words you as a designer do not worry about this!). On the query tool you must be a little cautious on counts but this is doable and minor.
As you can see none of the solutions are completely transparent, but we believe this is one that solves a lot of problems and gives you the best of all worlds. We will also support the same data structure in the OLAP dimensions for the database as well in the relational dimension. NOTE that there are some disclaimers with this as we are doing software here...
In principal however we will solve your problem.
Hope this explains some of our plans in this area.

Different levels of a dimension

I am having problems with measures based on different levels of a dimension.
The situation is: I have a product dimension with 2 levels (category and detail) and a client dimension. I want a measure with the number of distinct clients wich buys each product (it works fine with count distinct). But I also want a measure with the number of distinct clients wich buys the category of products, wich it's not working.
I have tried level based measures, but it didn't show the right result. I have changed the aggregate rule for this measure to count distinct, but it shows the same result as the SUM.
Can I define a custom rule for aggregation based on attributes of another tables?
Does anyone know a solution for this?

Luciene,
Is your requirement to have seperate metric for the category and a seperate metric for the detail level? if so then you can duplicate the count distinct metric and specify the level for the product dimension.( for the category metric it would be at the category level and for the detail metric it would be at the detail level). But on the other hand if you want the same metric to act at different levels, then you don't have to create a level based metric. Pulling the category/detail and the metric would aggregate the metric to the specific level.

Is it possible to define xhtml:tabscript width by using %

Thanks in advanced to everybody
I am new in BSP developing. I have a page with two frames where one shows a menu and the other one shows a tabstrip which contents a frame where dynamically a URL is called.
As far as I have seen it is not possible to define the width and the height of a tabscript by % only by px. I have checked out the forum and I have seen that other people have had the same problems on defining width and height on tabscripts.( see xhtmlb:tabStrip height attribute posted by Durairaj Athavan Raja on Jan 27). They solved it by fixing by hard the height.
My problem is that the client wants to see as least scroll as possible.
A solution would be to find an optimal fixed width and height but it seems to be difficult because the application is going to be run in different computers with different settings. Hence the better one would be to define the width and the height on running time, for example, as it is mentioned in the message, by javascript.
So if I have the screen size on a javascript variable, is there any way to use that variable as the width or the height of my tabscript?. Does anyone know how can I define the width and the height of the tabscript in such a way that it seems like I am using %.
Any idea is welcome.

Correct me if i havent understood your question correctly.
you have a tabstrip and within the tabstripitem you have an iframe and and fill the iframe src based on the tab clicked. Right?
If yes.
There are three factors to the whole scene here with regard to hieght.
1. page height
2. tabstrip height
3. iframe height
I have faced the similar issue and solved as follows.
1. I had set the <htmlb:page scrolling to "NO" so that i dont get two scroll bars at the right side (one for page and the other for iframe)
2. i have placed the iframe outside tabstrip
3. put the tabstrip and the iframe into normal html table like below.
<table height=100% border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
              <tr>
                <td width="100%">
      <xhtmlb:tabStrip id                       = "TS1"
                       renderSingleTabAsHeading = "FALSE"
                       flowIndicatorVisible     = "FALSE"
                       width                    = "100%"
                       onSelect                 = "mySelect"
                       selection                = "<%= selected_tab %>"
                       viewStateMode            = "COLLAPSED_EXPANDED"
                       dropDownListVisible      = "TRUE" >
    </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td height=100% width="100%">
<iframe id="I1" name="I1" scrolling="yes" width="100%" height="100%" src="<%= iframesrc %>"
       border="0" frameborder="0" >
</td>
      </tr>
      </table>
Hope this is clear.

How to create a custom measure for each level of a dimension

Hi all!
Can Anyone please explain me with an example, how to create a custom measure for each level for a dimension? I dont mine if you use
one or more measures.
thanks in advance
hope someone helps me.

For example:I create a dimension for product_dim witch has 4 levels:total, class, family and item:
d_aben18
n1_aben18
n2_aben18
n3_aben18
n4_aben18
herarchy:h_aben18
cube:cubo_aben18
measure:med_aben18
I create this code to fetch the data to the dimension:
TRAP ON CLEANUP
SQL DECLARE c1 CURSOR FOR SELECT-
total_product_id,1,'N1_ABEN18',total_product_dsc,-
class_id,1,'N2_ABEN18',total_product_id,class_dsc,-
family_id,1,'N3_ABEN18', class_id, family_dsc,-
item_id,1,'N4_ABEN18',family_id,item_dsc-
FROM PRODUCT_DIM
"OPEN THE CURSOR
SQL OPEN c1
"FETCH THE DATA
SQL FETCH c1 LOOP INTO-
:APPEND D_ABEN18, :D_ABEN18_H_aben18_HIERDEF,:D_ABEN18_N1_aben18_LEVELDEF,:D_ABEN18_long_description,-
:APPEND D_ABEN18, :D_ABEN18_H_aben18_HIERDEF,:D_ABEN18_N2_aben18_LEVELDEF,:D_ABEN18_parentrel,-
:D_ABEN18_long_description,-
:APPEND D_ABEN18, :D_ABEN18_H_aben18_HIERDEF,:D_ABEN18_N3_aben18_LEVELDEF,:D_ABEN18_parentrel,-
:D_ABEN18_long_description,-
:APPEND D_ABEN18, :D_ABEN18_H_aben18_HIERDEF,:D_ABEN18_N4_aben18_LEVELDEF,:D_ABEN18_parentrel,-
:D_ABEN18_long_description,-
"SAVE THE CHANGES
UPDATE
COMMIT
CLEANUP:
SQL CLOSE c1
SHOW 'KK2'
Then I create a cube with use compression off, and in rules sum for example.
After, I create a measure and I select Override the aggregation specification for the cube, in rules I put nonadditive and I would like to create aprogram to assign distinct values to each level of the dimension. For example, I put 1, 2 3, and 4 values, but at the end I would like to put count(distinct(values)).
for that I create another program:
VRB D_RETURN DECIMAL
if D_ABEN18_N1_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N1_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 1
if D_ABEN18_N2_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N2_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 2
if D_ABEN18_N3_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N3_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 3
if D_ABEN18_N4_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N4_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 4
else d_return=26
return d_return
"SHOW D_RETURN
cubo_aben18_med_aben18_stored=d_return
but it doesnt work.I dont know how to put to assign or to see what I want.
I report the measure, or I report the program, but then how can I see the values of the measure?
thanks in advance

Possible to define color of screen BEHIND documents?

I'm using Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
Is it possible to define the background color of the documents when they open in Adobe Reader? I'm not talking about the document pages themselves, but rather that crappy grey and/or ugly blue screen that always displays behind the document pages.
Can I define this for the user?
Any suggestions?

Can I define this for the user?
No.

Top Link 10.1.3 is it possible to define hierarchical queries in jdev

Is it possible to define a hierarchical query in a named query in the mapping workbench (jdev 10.1.3) or we have to do it dynamically with the java api ?
Any example is welcome.
Best regards

i didn't find the method that return the readallquery object i need from my named query
i'm doing something wrong ?
public class FlexTreeSetHierarchicalClause
public static void setHierarchicalClause(oracle.toplink.descriptors.ClassDescriptor descriptor)

    ExpressionBuilder expressionBuilder = new ExpressionBuilder();
    // Specifies a START WITH expression
    Expression startExpr = expressionBuilder.get("Flextree").get("flexitemI").equal(expressionBuilder.get("Flextreenode").get("flexitemparentI"));
    // Specifies a CONNECT BY expression
    Expression connectBy = expressionBuilder.get("Flextreenode").get("flexitemchildI").equal(expressionBuilder.get("Flextreenode").get("flexitemparentI"));
    //Specifies an ORDER SIBLINGS BY vector
    Vector order = new Vector();
    order.addElement(expressionBuilder.get("Flextreenode").get("flexitemchildI").get("flextext").get("label"));
    // get the readallobject to add the hierarchical clause
    DatabaseQuery dq = descriptor.getQueryManager().getQuery("getFlexTreeByName");
    ReadAllQuery raq = descriptor.getQueryManager().getReadAllQuery();
    // add the hierarchical clause
    raq.setHierarchicalQueryClause(startExpr, connectBy, order);

Naming of top level in a dimension

Hi,
I was wondering if the naming of the top level in a dimension. Earlier I have just named the top levels whatever suited me the best, and haven't had any problems with that. A couple of days ago I came a across an article on Mark Rittmans weblog where it said that Discoverer and BI beans expect a total level.
Should all the top levels be named total_***** ?
What is the consequence of not naming them total_****?
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Regards Ragnar

Level names can be reused across dimensions. This is common. For example, detail level data is very often shared across levels. When is comes to summary levels, you need decide whether this makes sense. Consider two hierarchies:
Shipping Hierarchy, with levels:
Total Product
Region Shipments
Country Shipments
Warehouse
Item
Product Type hierarchy, with levels:
Total Product
Brand
Group
Item
In the above case, Total Product in each hierarchy should yield the same values because it is the aggregation of all items. So, you might decide that is ok. A different case might not be ok. Consider:
Shipping Hierarchy, with levels:
Total Product
Region Shipments
Country Shipments
Warehouse
Items shipped
Product Type hierarchy, with levels:
Total Product
Brand
Group
Items sold
Since Items Shipped and Items Sold are likely to have different values, the aggregation of each level will yield a different value. In this case, Total Product as the top of each hierarchy doesn't make sense.
A different twist would be (note the display names):
Shipping Hierarchy, with levels:
Total Shipments with 'Total Product' as display name
Region Shipments
Country Shipments
Warehouse
Items shipped
Product Type hierarchy, with levels:
Total Product Types with 'Total Product' as display name
Brand
Group
Items sold
In this case there will be different levels with different values, but the user will see each as 'Total Product'. Only your user community can tell you if this is want they want.

Creating sublevels under levels for a dimension in AWM Oracle 10g

In Analytic Workspace Manager Oracle 10g, How can I create more sublevels under a particular level in a dimension?
for eg. Year is a dimension.It has 2 levels , Quarter and Month.
Under Quarter level I want to have Qtr1 and Qtr2 as sublevels.
Under Month level I want to have Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,June as sublevels.
so that Qtr1 has Jan,Feb,Mar, and Qtr2 has Apr,May,June

You need to do this in your source table.
The source table can look something like this
qtr_id, qtr_name, month_id, month_name
1 , Qtr1 , 101 , january
1 , Qtr1 , 102 , febuary
1 , Qtr1 , 103 , march
2 , Qtr2 , 104 , april
2 , Qtr2 , 105 , may
2 , Qtr2 , 106 , june
Then map it to the dimension, and maintain it.
Keep in mind that the member(id) fields need to be unique. I.E january 2007 and january 2006 cannot have the same id.
