Matchcode data filter with authorization

Hi guru's,
i have a problem with authorization in a BW query for the data
displayed in the matchcode selection window.
The problem refers to the characteristic 0cast_sales.
We have authorization objects for other characteristics that filter the
possible values of 0cast_sales in the query output, but we don't want
that the user can see all the possible data in the master data of
0cast_sales in the matchcode selection window.
Ex. if we have the authorization for a single sales office (0sales_off)
we want to see in the matchcode of customers (0cast_sales) only the
customers related to this sales office.
It is possible to filter the data in the matchcode selection window in
according to the authorization filter?
Actually we are on SAP BW 310
Thanks
Alberto

You need to create an authorization variable for this InfoObject in the query

Enhancement request : Table - Data -- Filter with multiple lines

It would be nice when the Filter option in the tables Data tab could contain multiple lines, because :
In case of a complex where clause on a table (used in a query) it's hard to get an impression of the filter because everything is typed on one single line.
In case of multiple lines it's also more easy to disable a single clause temporary with a double dash (--) at the start of the line instead of searching in a complex filter where to put /* ...*/
Eric.

What I mean is the Filter option when displaying the data (Data tab) of a table. You have the possibility to enter a Sort and a Filter (to reduce the data that is displayed). That Filter option has no possibility to enter multiple lines. So there is no way to 'format' the filter which would be nice in case of complex or large 'where clauses'.
What would you prefer, this (multiple lines) ?
AND ( p_peildatum IS NULL
OR
TRUNC(p_peildatum) BETWEEN TRUNC(dnm.datum_ingang)
AND TRUNC(NVL(dnm.datum_einde,p_peildatum))
AND ( p_ondergrens IS NULL
OR
TRUNC(p_ondergrens) <= TRUNC(NVL(dnm.datum_einde,p_ondergrens))
or this, like it is now (everything on one single line) :
( p_peildatum IS NULL OR TRUNC(p_peildatum) BETWEEN TRUNC(dnm.datum_ingang) AND TRUNC(NVL(dnm.datum_einde,p_peildatum)) ) AND ( p_ondergrens IS NULL OR TRUNC(p_ondergrens) <= TRUNC(NVL(dnm.datum_einde,p_ondergrens)) )

Data binding with Multiple Filter

Hi Experts,
I am trying to do the data binding using filters with multiple values.
ex: I am selecting the multiple values from list dialog and those i want to pass to odata service as a filters.
name : abc
               pqr
I am looping on above and pushing it to array of filters.
     jQuery.sap.require("sap.ui.model.FilterOperator");
     var FilterOperator = sap.ui.model.FilterOperator;
     var filtersTerr = new Array();
   for(i=0;i<name.length;i++){
filterName = new sap.ui.model.Filter("FirstName", sap.ui.model.FilterOperator.EQ, name[i]);
filter.push(filterName );
this..getBinding("items").filter([filter],false);
Final filter should be something $filter=FirstName='abc' or FirstName='pqr'.
I have already looked into below discussions but somehow came to conclusion that array cannot be use with OR/AND.
Odata Filter with OR

IDOC: Problem with data filter for IDOC extension field

Hallo!
I've created an idoc extension for the basic type DEBMAS06 that works fine. Now I want to use a data filter for one field ( company code ) of my segment. Every segment with a company code different from 100 should be filtered and not send to the other client. But what happend is that for all customers that have at least one company code different from 100, all segments including the one with cc 100 were deleted and a error "Segment ... does not exist for message type DEBMAS" appeared on the screen.
Does anyone have any ideas about this problem?

Not sure about changes to be made at the filtering options.
An alternative would be sending the data to XI as it is and perform the mapping to remove the unnecessary segments.
Disadvantage: Unnecessary processing of segment would be done at XI.
Advantage: The integration logic would be completely handled by XI.

Prateek

Data Filter issue with

Hi,
We have created a document from an Essbase ASO cube.
A data filter have been created in Essbase ASO Cube. The data filter is 'all Europe Region'. When this data filter is applied to the user and user logs in WA and accesses the document, the below error is produced.
========================================================
Loading this document produced errors.
Unknown members or dimensions have been removed from the document in an attempt to fix the problem.
Saving this document now will prevent these errors when the document is loaded again.
[1033] Native: 1001005 [Fri Mar 06 16:59:20 2009]uxsy9dbt.cos.agilent.com/vip_main/vip_main//Error(1001005) Unknown Member [Americas] in Report
==============================================
With no data filter assigned to the user, the report is fine...
Tested the same data filter in Excel-addin and there are no issues/error. Is there any setting that needs to be changed in WebAnalysis?

Following up even thought his is an old issue. Out of the blue my users began complaining their security in Web Analysis had gone awry. Their security in Excel add-in was fine though.
Most users use a WA Shared Preferences File here. However one user, unbeknownst to me, was able to hard code their userID/password in the "database" connection for the Shared Preference. So anytime another user logged in to Web Analysis, if you open the View Pane to see all the details, the Database user was John Doe - which was wrong, but the WebAnalysis user was John Smith - which was correct. The John Doe user like I said somehow managed to "save" his userID/pwd as the default, which caused all other users to "pass through" to Essbase as John Doe instead of as themselves, which means they were getting HIS filter not their own.
I wasn't able to figure out how he did that but to fix it I deleted his profile then Edited the Shared Preferences File | Databases tab | highlight database in question and choose Edit | change "Default logon" back to "Use User's ID and Password" instead of "Enter User ID and Password...John Doe|Pwd".
It works fine now. Users get their same, correct security filters applied whether they go in to Web Analysis or Excel add-in. (In Web Analysis we have it set up to open a report at a certain location depending on their security filters, so this was causing us quite a headache until we figured out what the problem was).
I opened a case with Tech Support to try and shed light on how the user was able to hard-code their login credentials in to the Shared Preference. Everyone only has Read access to that file, so. ?

Interactive Report with Date Filter

Hi out there,
I created an interactive report which contains a date column. The default filter-options just work fine. But my users need to filter with the data which is contained in the report e.g. if a row contains 21.06.2000 they want to see this value in the filter-list of this date column and not the predefined defaults (last five years, last day and so on).
I already tried to specify the date as a string and did a select ... to_char ( date_column, 'dd.mm.yyyy' ) which broke the sorting but gave me the filter-options my users wanted. Specifing the date as yyyy.mm.dd is not an option for my users.
Is it possible to get a filter which shows the "real" data and keeps the right sort order ?
Regards and thanks
Markus

Markus,
I've come up against this too. A varchar column gives you the selection list but no filtering using <,>,between etc., but a date column doesn't show the discrete data values. Users tend to ask for both, and putting both date and varchar columns in the report or using an LOV isn't very elegant.
Is there anything significant about the dates the users want to search directly on? Judging from your 21.06.2000 example I'd guess not, but if so you can build your own column in the SELECT statement and use that for filtering/creating default reports.
regards,
Malcolm.

Create prompt with date-filter and initialize it with current date

Oracle BI 11 g
Hi!
I need to create dashboard prompt with date-filter and initialize it with current date. How can I do that?
I tried to create repository initialization block and add variable. But I don't know what should I write to DataSource? I tried to use functions Now(), Current_Date, sysdate (for example, SELECT Now() FROM tbl_Calendar) but without results - when I pressed "Test..." button I got errors - something like "Now() is unknown function" or "Incorrect syntax near key word Current_Date".
After that I tied to use Presentation Variable in Prompt, but also without success ((
Please, help me.

I've created Repository Variable "CurrentDate", using SQL-query like this "select convert(varchar(10), getdate(), 104)" and now this variable is being initialized by value "07.04.2011". But I don't understand how to use this varible in DashboardPrompt! What item in list "Default selection" I should choose - "Variable Expression", "Server Variable" or something else? When I chose "Variable Expression" and write "CurrentDate" I got just string "CurrentDate" when preview Prompt. @{CurrentDate} gave me the same result.

Using Non-destructive filter with Nested XML data

Hi,
How do you use Non-destructive filter with Nested XML data?
I am using the non-destructive filter sample with my own xml which is setup to search for the <smc></smcs> in my xml below. But when i test it it only searches the last row of the "smc". How can i make it work so it can search for repeating nodes? or does it have something to with how my xml is setup?

I really need help on this, or are there any other suggestions or samples that might work?
thank you!

I apologize, im using Spry XML Data Set. i guess the best way to describe what im trying to do is, i want to use the Non-desctructive filter sample with the Spry Nested XML Data sample. So with my sample xml on my first post and with the same code non-destructive filter is using, im having trouble trying to search repeating nodes, for some reason it only searches the last node of the repeating nodes. Does that make sense? let me know.
thank you Arnout!

SAP BO WebI Report on top of BI Bex Query with Authorization Variable

Hi,
We are trying to restrict row level data using BI 7.0 analysis authorization concept. We have an authorization variable in the Bex query and is working perfect in Bex Analyzer as well as in RSRT.
Now we are trying to achieve the same thing in BO webI. We created an Universe using Authentication Mode SSO. We are on BOXI 3.1 and implemented SSO. When we try to run the query in WebI we get the error
"A database error occured. The database error text is: Error in MDDataSetBW.GetCellData..(WS 10901)"
Just for testing purpose, when we use query filter in WebI and use Values from List, it is showing only the authorized value it supposed to show and runs well with that value selected. But we have to achieve this without the query filter in WebI.
So are we missing some thing here or any patch issue? Please share if you have done this type of reports in BO.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Moorthy.

Yes I did run MDXTEST and it gives error as 'you do not have sufficient authorization'. The reason it is giving, I guess and we are debugging that to confirm, is first it looks for 0BI_ALL and throws error which is not the case in Bex. See the following trace in RSRT trace.
InfoObject Properties Defined

Issue with authorizations for BPS

Hi Experts,
There was an issue with authorizations for BPS. We have a large number of agents that need to enter plan data via a layout. In order to control the necessary authorizations, we would like to filter via something similar to a user exit using a function module in order to avoid having to define authorization objects for each of the agents who have access to the systems. Right now, we are not sure if there is user exit concept available as it is for BW variables. Any body experienced similar issue may share their experience.
Regards,
Ankit

Hi,
In BPS, you can use user specific variables or you can set up a Variable of type exit. You can also have a variable of type authorization which uses the security / authorization of the BW system.
Hope it helps...
Cheers,
Tanish

Performance issue on Date filter

In my where condition I wanted a date filter on sale date. I want all sales after 9/1/2014.
CASE1
If I explicitly use date filter like
SaleDate > '2014-09-01 00:00:00:000' I am getting the result in 2 seconds.
CASE2
Since I may need to use this data value again, I created a date table with single column "date" and loaded the value '2014-09-01 00:00:00:000' .
So now my where is like
SaleDate > (Select date from dateTable)
When I run this , the result does not show up even after 10 mins. Both date types are datetime. I am baffled. Why is this query not coming up with the result?

As mentioned by Erland, for the optimizer, both situation are very different. With a literal, the optimizer can properly estimate the number of qualifying rows and adapt the query plan appropriately. With a scalar subquery, the value is unknown at compile
time, and the optimizer will use heuristics to accommodate any value. In this case, the selection for all rows more recent than September 1st 2014 is probably a small percentage of the table.
I can't explain why the optimizer or engine goes awry, because the subquery's result is a scalar, and shouldn't result in such long runtime. If you are unlucky, the optimizer expanded the query and actually joins the two tables. That would make the indexes
on table dateTable relevant, as well as distribution and cardinality of dateTable's row values. If you want to know, you would have to inspect the (actual) query plan.
In general, I don't think your approach is a smart thing to do. I don't know why you want to have your selection date in a table (as opposed to a parameter of a stored procedure), but if you want to stick to it, maybe you should break the query up into something
like this. The optimizer would still have to use heuristics (instead of more reliable estimates), but some unintended consequences could disappear.
Declare @min_date datetime
Set @min_date = (SELECT date FROM dateTable)
SELECT ...
FROM ...
WHERE SaleDate > @min_date
If you use a parameter (or an appropriate query hint), you will probably get performance close to your first case.

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

Row Level Security - Data filter - Roles Variable Not working in OBIEE 11.1.1.7.1

Hi all,
Previously, we were using OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 and we were able to assign users to application roles by using the initialization block to assign the ROLES session variables.
1. My USER_SECURITY table in Oracle database:
USER_NAME | USER_ID | ROL
user1       | 1723    | GobalDataRole
user2       | 1739    | GobalDataRole
user3      | 1743    | GobalDataRole
2. The SQL query in my session initialization block:
select USER_NAME, USER_ID, ROL
from USER_SECURITY
where USERNAME = ':USER'
3. The row-wise initialization option is not checked.
4. In the Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control, we created new application role: GobalDataRole and sync with rpd.
5. The GobalDataRole is used in the RPD to filter the data under permissions --> data filter. GobalDataRole only has access to Country A data.
6. Result: under my account, also in rpd Manage --> Sessions, user variable details
User_name , user_id & Rol variable is working fine as expected,
When we log in as user1, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role; GobalDataRole
When we log in as user2, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role; GobalDataRole
When we log in as user3, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role; GobalDataRole
User1, User2, and User3 are able to see the data correctly according the their data access setup.
Now, we using OBIEE 11.1.1.7.1 and using the same method, but we not able to assign users to application roles by using the initialization block to assign the ROLES session variables anymore.
Result:
User_name & user_id variable is working fine as expected, but the ROl variaible is not capturing the DB value,
When we log in as user1, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role
When we log in as user2, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role
When we log in as user3, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role
User1, User2, and User3 can see all data (which is wrong) because they are not assigned to the correct application role that sets the data restriction/filter.
Has anyone encountered the same issue? Any advice on how to solve this?
Thanks in advance!
Satheeshkumar P

Thanks user10615659   ,
- Yes the variable ROLES available in OBIEE 11.1.1.7.1
- Tested the init block and variables in offline rpd its working as expected.
- In online rpd, except ROLES and GROUP variable remaining variables working fine.
- Verified log file in both online and offline init block testing - the init block execution is successful.
Thanks

SP2013 - Date Filter Web Part looses connection when used in a site template

Hi,
I created two table reports in SQL Reporting Services 2012 and inserted in a web page using the Reporting Service Report viewer in SharePoint 2013 with CU Dez 2013. The two reports require two dates and I use two date filter web parts (I did not try the
date range solution I saw in the fórum).
So the user inputs the two dates in date filters that send the information to thereports in the same page.
They work in the site and I saved it as template. However when I create e new site using it as a templates, the date filter connections are broken and of course, they did not work.
For another report where I usea text filter, it worked without any problem in the template.
Does anybody know any workaround?
Thank you.
Best regards, Ricardo Segawa - Segawas Projetos / Microsoft Partner

Hi ,
The new site based on the saved site template will generate new ID for date filter web part, in the web part page the SPWebPartConnection "ProviderID" value seems still to reference the original date filter web part ID (see from
SharePoint Designer), as a workaround we can re-configure the web part connection from the web part page manually or programmatically from that new site web part page.

Hi,
Based on my test, Data filter does not lost when we re-open the file in Excel 2013. Thus, I think it is not a bug. Thus, please provide us more information to assist you better.
Did this issue occur with the previous file that created with Office 2010?
Have you tried to re-create a new file to test?
If this issue occur only with the previous file that created with Office 2010, this issue might be caused by the file compatibility, pleases use compatibility checker to update the files:
https://support.office.com/en-ca/article/Check-file-compatibility-with-earlier-versions-d9856881-5875-4c58-915f-06859b2943a7
If this issue occur with all files even with a new file, please try to repair Office 2013.
Hope it's helpful.
