Maintain Columns for Higher Levels in Hierarchy when using Drill Down

Hello all,
I've searched through this forum looking for an answer to this, since I thought it might be a common question, but I wasn't able to find any related content. So I apologize if this has already been answered in the past.
I would like to know if when drilling down in a WEBI report, it is possible to automatically add dimension columns to a report as you drill down to the lower levels in the heirarchy, and keep the columns with the higher level dimension values, rather than replace those columns, which is the default behavior. As a simple example, suppose I have the following columns in a report:
Product Sales Amount
Now suppose I have set up a heirarchy in the Universe with Product, Sub-Product, then Region, in that order. In the WEBI report with the drill filter options enabled, when I click on the Product link, the default behavior is to replace the Product column with the Sub-Product dimension and display the following:
Sub-Product Sales Amount
Instead, I would like it to display:
Product Sub-Product Sales Amount
Then subsequently, of course:
Product Sub-Product Region Sales Amount
Does anybody know of a simple way to accomplish this? I suppose this could be accomplished using the openDocument method with links to separate reports showing the addtional columns, but this seems a bit complicated for a relatively smple requirement. I'm hoping that there is an existing simpler solution to this problem. Please advise. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Bernardo,
The drill down capability is vertical and not horizontal. There are two solutions, the one of open document as you mentioned is one. The other solution depends on the way you have deployed your system. If you have given users the capability to run reports in "modify" mode (WebI), then they can insert columns to the grid according to the scenario you mention
Product Sub-Product Sales Amount
and forego using the "drill fiter" per se. If your deployment only permits most users to view the report in "read-only" mode (InfoView), then you have limited options.
Thanks,
John

High level of Noise when using Jabra Bluetooth Hea...

Hi,
I recently purchsed a Jabra BT250v Bluetooth HEadset for use with my Nokia 6110 Navigator. But even if I move a few feet from the phone there is a lot of static and crackling noise in my earpiece. I have tried several units of Jabra Headset and all of them give the same problem.
Jabra service center says, that it is Nokia software problem and I should get my phone software updated. I checked on Noia site and I ahve the latest firmware.
Anyone else facing similar problems with Jabra headsets?

Hey guys, I bought the headset not cause its cheap but cause it seemed like value for money ... :-) it is behind the ear design which comfortably fits even when I am wearing my helmet (U see I drive a lot ). And has a inbuilt vibration function that informs me of calls very well even when I am in silent mode.
And the less said about Nokia Headset the better, I had a Nokia BH 204 headset.. it kept on hanging and so I gave it for replacement and got a unit 2 months later which promptly hanged again within 2 days and became unusable. I gave it back and again after 2 months I got a replacement set of lower specification called BH-209. So I am really disappointed with Nokia also.
giving it back for replacement and ready for a further 2 months wait :-(

that's funny, i never heard of Nokia BH-204, there is a BH-209 now, but i am not even sure if it is for sale now... I do now that there are sooo many FAKE Nokia BT headset, can you post a pic of those headsets, because i think you probably bought FAKE Nokia BT Headsets, there are too many of them right now...

How to Skip weight data from Sales order for Higher level BOM material

I have maintained a BOM at Item level with item category group LUMF.
And the higher level item is not subjected for pricing and costing. While creating the higher level Item I did not maintain weight for it. Now when I create a sales order due to the incompletion log system is asking to maintain Weight details for higher level item also.
But I donu2019t want to maintain weight for that item nor I want to remove net weight and gross wt from incompletion log.
While creating higher level material with material type FERT and I have maintained LUMF and all things are normal. Also tell me do I need to select any different material type or do I need to go for different settings ?
I hope my query is clear. Please ask if query is not clear.
Please Guruu2019s suggest me.

Hi ,
I do not know what a reference charactersitcs is,but there are all independant characeristics in terms of their values.
A guess it is because the VC data is changed after the sales order is created, the updated VC data is displayed properly only in VA02 or VA03 but other function modules fail to display the updated VC data.
I understand there is a relationship of instance -between sales order object and VC data object-which we need to update and then see the latest data.
Please let me know if anyone has debgged VA03 to know how the standard SAP program retrieves VC data in a sales order.
Thank you,

CDPOS for the moving avenge price when using MIRO, MIGO & VL31N etc.

Hi
Is there a way of tracking all changes with CDPOS for the moving avenge price when using MIRO, MIGO & VL31N etc.
We can show changes for MR21 in CDPOS but we need to reflect all changes made to the moving avenge price for MIRO, MIGO & VL31N etc. We need to run a report that will show all these changes.
We run a report to look at all the change records for Moving Avenge Price, We use tables CDPOS & CDHDR, then Change the document Object for both tables to material, so when the report is run you can identify the material by the object value field
u201CIf you look at CDPOS the fields where reading the data from in the u201CNew Value fieldu201D is CDFLDVALN when I do an F1u201D
u201CIf you now check MBEW on the u201CMoving Avenge Price fieldu201D, the data reads from VERPR which is the field we need to reflect the changes. If we can change this then the report will worku201D
Can you help please?

Hello Jürgen,
Thank you for your quick reply. I read the note -- it describes the symptom perfectly, and gives example cases which match our situation. However, no solution or recommendation is given. Does it mean that this way of valuating cancellations is not seen as a malfunction, and cannot be changed?
Thanks in advance.

Prompting for password and username only when using dynamic parameters

Post Author: Co3023
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
How do I stop CR XI prompting for password and username only when using dynamic parameters. When no dynamic parameters are used CR XI isn't prompting for the DB user name and password. The report is run from an application which passes the user name and password. I am using Oracle and the problem is both with the native oracle driver and the ODBC RDO driver.

Post Author: jehanzeb
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I didnt ask you to change it to static I said I took the parameters totally out of the report. Saved it. Then re-enter the dynamic parameters into the report and it worked for me. That might have worked for you, not sure why you changed it to static.
Ok I have just created a quick report using dynamic parameters, it didnt ask me for the username password.
Can you create a sample report - just to test the db? and see if it works? add only 1 or 2 fields in the report, create parameters (dynamic) and see if it works
why don't you embed the username and password in your application, it won't ask for username password then.

Webi report on OLAP Bex query - Cost element Hierarchy not working Drill down

Hello,
We have a BO report on Bex query, Not on universe, we have a Hierarchy for Cost Element Group, and we are expecting the Drill down functionality for that in BO report, but it does not.
Webi report on OLAP Bex query - Cost element Hierarchy not working Drill down
Any pointers how to do it please
Thanks
Krishna

Hi,
WebI reports on BEx source don't use same Drill feature as other sources, it's replaced by expland/collapse of hierarchy nodes (documented in WebI user guide in § "24.1 Drill defined"). This means you have to create query which selects all hierarchy sub-tree you plan on exploring later in report, otherwise if no data is available under a node there will be no '+/-' sign to visit this part of tree.
You could try first to select "All members" from hierarchy in QueryPanel and see if behavior in report suits your needs. Then you should restrict hierarchy member selection to what's really needed to avoid performance issues.

SmartView - Error when i drill down many records

Hi,
Our users are currently receiving the error "Invalid Pointer", when trying to refresh Smart View reports or when users are trying to drill down.
Do you know how many records can i see using drill down in smart view.
And if this number of records can be change?
Thanks!

If you're just trying to increase the number of rows that can be retrieved, see: Maximum rows exceed in SmartView
Do you get an error in the applicaiton log? Essbase log? I ask because I wonder if the error is SmartView/Hyperion Provider Services related or from the database.

Need help on Consolidation at higher level of hierarchy

No
let me explain in more detail
My first cube have 1 characteristic as hostcountry, Hierarchy for same is maintaned as per 0country.
Data in this cube is stored at country level say like for US,CA...
my second cube also have hostcountry but i want to load it for region level data, i.e. for Us and some other country's region is NORTH AMERICA i want to laod second cube with all consolidated data for this region insted of at country level.

JMX for high level AMPs?

I have to implement a high level API for a special device and I wonder if JMX is the right choice.
Is it possible to write a high level object oriented API with JMX or is it just a modern substitute of SNMP?
For example if I write an API for my mp3 radio player can I say <record the song "Walk Like an Egyptian" from "The
Bangles", when ever it comes> and later copy all received songs to the client or can I just say <start recording now> and <stop recording now>?
Regard, I want to implement an API so other complex applications can control my device comfortable, not a plug-in
into an existing management application that controls other stand-alone devices too.
Any comments? What's your experience?
Marvin Haktar

Yes, JMX is suitable for creating a high level API that offers more flexibility in management than a pure SNMP based approach. One of the goals of the JMX specification is to address the needs of application management, whereas SNMP has traditionally focused on network/device management.

Using High-Level API, need to use KeyRelease just for Lists

I'm coding a MIDlet with High-Level API, but I found that is really annoying to press down 30 times in a long List to reach the item you want to select. So I thought "what about pressing right/left and make it working like pressing down/up like 10 times"?
Something like this:
Canvas canvas = new Canvas() {
         public void paint(Graphics g) { }
         protected void keyPressed(int keyCode) {
            switch(keyCode) {
                case -3:mylist.setSelectedIndex(mylist.getSelectedIndex()-10,true);break;
                case -4:mylist.setSelectedIndex(mylist.getSelectedIndex()+10,true);
      }; // end of anonymous class*/But I have no idea about how to implement this =(

first of all, is there any particular reason you want to stick to the high-level API?
Well, I have already nearly 700 lines of code. I don't want to start from 0 :P
I think the best way to implement this would be to use customItems so you can control the view of the list.
I think that requires MIDP2.0 I'm trying to make it work in MIDP 1.0
The best you could do with high level UI is add navigation Commands to the List.
I have already 2 Commands per List. Not all phones have a button in the center of "cursors", so I use right button for select and left for back/exit.
Thanks for replies anyway

High Virtual memory usage when using Pages 2.0.2

Hey there,
I was just wondering whether there had been any other reports of unusually high memory usage when using Pages 2.0.2, specifically Virtual memory. I am running iWork 06 on the Mac listed below and Pages has been running really slowly recently. I checked the Activity Monitor and Pages is using hardly any Physical memory but loads of Virtual memory (so much so that the Page outs are almost as high as the Page ins (roughly 51500 page ins / 51000 page outs).
Any known problems, solutions or comments for this problem? Thanks in advance

I don't know if this is specifically what you're seeing, but all Cocoa applications, such as Pages, have an effectively infinite Undo. If you have any document that you've been working on for a long time without closing, that could be responsible for a large amount of memory usage.
While it's good practice to save on a regular basis, if you're making large amounts of changes it's also a good idea to close and reopen your document every once in awhile, simply to clear the undo. I've heard of some people seeing sluggish behavior after working on a document for several days, which cleared up when the document was closed and reopened.

Is it normal for Iphone 5 to overheat when using 3G?

Hello,
Is it normal for a new IPhone 5 to get overheated when using for 10mins 3G in searching something over Internet, watching a video on you tube or anything else that uses 3g? What could I do? Thanks

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue is still not resolved, then take it to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

_root level methods failing when using movieClipLoader

man wouldn't have a clue why, using onloadInit BELOW, doesn't
listen to simple button methods addressed to the _root movieClip,
the script for this frame on the root mc is below, any help please
It works fine offline, but when on server the button response
just doesn't work

loads, it just fails, maybe best to check code below first thanks

Just answered that one:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15&catid=288&threadid =1192673&enterthread=y
But in your case: you need an object to listen for the
MovieClipLoader events. So, use the current object as a listener...
in the constructor:
myloader = new MovieClipLoader();
myloader.addListener(this);
Then use private methods to capture the events:
private method onLoadInit(target:MovieClip){
and so on.
