Maximum No. of Drilldown Characteristics - Anyway to to overcome

Hi,
We are on 3.0B vesion of the BW system, using 3.5 Frontend for BEx. In the BEx, during the query generation, we are not allowed to have more than 50 chars / KFs in the drilldown for the query. The is explained in OSS note : 540641..
Would anybody know of a way to overcome this limitation. We need a query with about 55 chars / KFs in the drilldown.
Thanks in advance for any insights.

Hi Naga,
You may have 49 drilldown characteristics in a query with one structure and 48 with a query with 2 structures. These are limits from the OLAP engine which can not be changed.
A possible workaround is to use display attributes. Attributes allow to present the required info in a separated drilldown column (row) and from the other side are not really considered as characteristic.So you may get more than 50 levels in a query.
Best regards,
Maxim

Error message "Maximum number of drilldown characteristics exceeded"

Hello,
an user created a Web report. In the navigation block there are nearly 100 selection fields. If you make either "drilldown in the rows" or "drilldown in the columns" you recieve after 50 drilldowns the error message "Maximum number of drilldown characteristics exceeded" and it is not possible to proceed further. Does anybody has got an idea what this can be?
Thanks!

Hi Check SAP Note No -
Note 144478 - BEx: Termination/Message at 10th/20th drilldown characterstc
1. Terminations occur when you drill down a large number of characteristics at the same time during interactive navigation in the Business Explorer Analyzer (Excel).
2. In the global query definition, the system displays message 'Termination: the maximum number (10/20) of drilldown characteristics is exceeded' if the total of the characteristics and structures you are using exceeds
              - 10 objects in Release 1.2B
              - 20 objects in Release 2.0A/2.0B/2. 1C
              during the definition of a query.
Hope it helps

Fonts for drilldown characteristics on web query

How can I change the fonts of the drilldown characteristics which are part of a Navigation block in a web template? Thanks

Hi Niten,
Not usre on this. But these are defined in a stylesheet so I guess you can change that either in the HTML code tab in the web template in WAD. If that is not possible then change it in Report deisgner or change the stylesheet in MIME repository.

Adding drilldown characteristics in WEBI Report

Hello folks,
Is adding new drilldown characteristics on the fly, possible in WEBI at all? For those familiar with BW, am talking about free characteristic functionality. Here is a scenario in case that we are trying to emulate. So upon executing the report, the initial view should display Sales for 3 months in different columns, and that should be shown at a Sales Organization level. Once we have that, the user would like to expand using a different characteristic for drilldown. So lets say, show the same monthly numbers but broken down for every 'Industry' and/or 'Location' and/or 'Plant'. Hierarchy is definitely an option but it may work well only for true parent and child type relationship between the characteristics. Please share your insights on the topic.
Thanks,
Rv

Try Drillfilter()...
Hope it will solve your problem...!!
Thank You

Drilldown characteristics limit of 50

Is there a way to work around the limit in BEX of only allowing 50 drilldown characteristics for the default display? I understand you can display up to the limit, then execute the report and drilldown further on free characteristics. But we want to be able to show more than 50 columns without having to drill down.
Does anyone know of a setting that we can change to increase the limit?

Hi,
that is Reader plugin limitation itself not Adobe AIR (Air uses Adobe Reader as pluggable feature - it depends on it installed on system and there is api to detect that feature support with "pdfCapability" property of HTMLLoader). It is also affecting other 3rd party tools that are using pluggable Reader interface.
see for example:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2128581
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2432520
What you could do:
#1
manage numbers of created instances - but as you noted that is clunky.
In addition I think you're eating system resources to have a pool of dozens of PDF readers
Instead you could use:
#2
combined pooling of PDF instances.
Why combined? to preserve memory you don't need to show actual PDF to user
- you have set of PDF (HTMLLoaders) instances in application pool and use them to load different documents
- because that nearly impossible for user to view all that content at the same time (readability) you could reuse instances to load different documents on demant
*and*
- here is a trick to minimize memory:
- once your HTMLLoader loads document - that is to be no longer used - you could take "screen shot" of it (that is current page) and re-use HTMLLoader instance to load other content.
To let user know what is loaded you show bitmap image in e.g. clickable container of your choice (you could have tile group that display pages )
How to get screen shot:
- add Event.COMPLETE to your html loader so it fires when pdf loads and then e.g.:
protected function htmlCompleteHandler(completeEvent:Event):void
     var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(html.width, html.height);
     bd.draw(html.htmlLoader);
     var image:Image = new Image();
     image.width = bd.width;
     image.height = bd.height;
     image.source = bd;
I think that you could even transform what is drawn to have small and nice thumbnails of non-active documents that way.

More than 50 characteristics in BEx Analyzer

Is some solution to display more than 50 characteristics in BEx Analyzer?
Ive got messege:

The maximum number of drilldown characteristics is restricted to a value
of 50

Are you using any Customer Exit variable for that particular characteristic??
Is this shown for all the Characteristics having more than 50 values???

Hiding a KPI based on drilldown

I have a query which consists of a number of key figure columns. Is it possible to hide one of the columns if the user drilldowns on one of the drilldown characteristics but is visible for the remaining characteristics? Thanks

As I know it is not possible to do that. But you can show 'X' values under the column, you are trying the hide. you can do this using Formula Variable. Lets say the characteristic you are going to add to the report is '0abc'.
If user drilldowns "0abc" then key figure "0keyfigure" will show 'X'.
Please update if this fits to you your requirement. If yes, then we can go further.
Regards.

Ora-00020 maximum no .of connections exceeded

Hi All,
I tried to connect the production Db is says Maximum number of connections exceeded.
How to overcome this situation.
I stoppped and bounced the Db.
The process paramter in pfile is 50
Is there any to overcome this

c:\sql>oerr ora 00020
00020, 00000, "maximum number of processes (%s) exceeded"
*Cause: All process state objects are in use.
*Action: Increase the value of the PROCESSES initialization parameter.
Increasing the PROCESSES parameter as suggested by the error information would remove the issue.
If the database has been working fine for an extending period of time without this error you should consider finding out what caused the increase so you can set parameter appropriately. Could be an increase in use or an application leaking connections.

Looks like you are trying to save the history data (with :OLD values).
If you are trying to generate a trigger at runtime, then you need a procedure which is able to loop through user_tab_columns for the given table and construct column strings for generation of triggers.
Then you can use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE to create the trigger.
Keep in mind that debugging such a procedure would be headache if you face any problems in creating the same.

Reg Data fields in DSO

Hello SAP Guru's!!!!
I have some doubt on maximum number of data fields in DSO. I gone through so many threads on SCN, but could not clarify my doubt.
The max no of key fields in DSO is -- 16
Max no of data fields in DSO is --749.
But i read in some of the scn documents a table can have maximum 256 columns .
DSO is also like a two dimensional table which can also have the same properties of a two dimensional table.
if the above statement of mine is correct.. the number of columns in a DSO is 256 columns = 16(primary key)+240 (data fields--non key fields)
but how come 749 data fields (max) will be there ? if it is so ... the max no of fields will be 749+16 = 765.
I need some clarification on this ....
Awaiting for your responses!!!!
regards,
vamshi

Hi Rajavamshi,
For DSO:
1. See for Standard DSO we have Key fields & Data Fields will be there
2. Key Fields will store only Characterisitc Info Objects, maximum no.of characteristic info object we can add here was 16
3. But in Data fields we can add both Characterstics & Keyfigure infoobjects, Max of 749 data fields we can add here.
4. Atleast one field should be there in either Key fields & Data fields.
For InfoCube :
1. Info cube structure will be having the 16 Dimensions and the Key Fields.
2. In that 16 Dimensions 13 User defined and the 3 pre defined dimensions.
3. One user defined Dimension will maximum can hold 248 Characteristics Info Object, not the Keyfigure Info Object here.
4. But the Key Fields here will store maximum will hold 233 Key Figure Info Object.
Thanks..!!

The best way to enlarge an image for print?

Hello
I've been designing for print for several years. Occasionally I design large display posters/banners (A0, 6-sheet, billboard etc) which use a photographic image. Assuming that the image I have is smaller at 300ppi than the final print, what is the best way to enlarge the image? Based on my experience, it seems that there are three options (to make it simple, the example here assumes that my image is exactly half the size it needs to be printed at. I'm also assuming that the file I will supply to the printer will be a high res pdf exported from Indesign):
1. Set up the Indesign file at 100% size, place the photo and have Indesign upscale the image to 200%. Export a high res pdf for print.
2. Set up the indesign file at 50% size, place the photo with no upscaling by Indesign. Export a high res pdf and have the printer blow it up to 200%.
3. Set up the Indesign file at 100% size, enlarge the photo in Photoshop to 200%, and place the photo with no upscaling in Indesign. Export a high res pdf for print.
I have been advised that having Indesign upscale the image is not a good idea, and I never do this. I guess that option 3 is probably best, with Photoshop doing the work and the resulting pdf being the correct size. However, it's not always possible to do this – some posters are huge which means that the enlarged photo and the high res pdf will both be huge files, and I think also Indesign has a maximum document set up size anyway. So sometimes I use option 2.
So firstly, why is it a bad idea for Indesign to upscale the image (as I say, I never do this, but I would like to know the technical reason)? Secondly, if the choice is between re-sizing myself in Photoshop prior to exporting the pdf, or having the printer enlarge a high res pdf, which is better? When I say 'better' I mean in terms of the quality/sharpness of the end result. Also, I assume that vector elements in my design will not be adversely affected in either scenario, is that assumption correct?
Thanks

Sorry for the added confusion. It appears, after doing some checking in my CS2 apps ( InDesign), there is no setting for DPI / Output Resolution. Only Transparency Flattener Setting. See screen shot below...
If you select Postscript File in the Print Presets, you can access resolution settings for transparency flattening there, too...
in the "Advanced" tab dialog...
But, I like having the option in Illustrator 10 File > Document Setup where I can set the output resolution to whatever is appropriate. In this case ( below ) I've got it set for 5080dpi / 300ppi. You also have Effect > Document Raster Effect Setting where you can select 300ppi ( see screen shot below )...
...and Raster Effects Resolution setting...
I may have misled you because the apps I have are not CS6; but you should be able to follow along in your CS6 apps in various settings dialogs. Mainly, resolution settings can be set in the Print dialog boxes.
The main thing to keep in mind is, because you are enlarging upon output, the base scaled down file must have enough resolution to maintain its appearance at the final size. In the case of 50% or 25% file resolution should be maximum ( for current apps it appears 300ppi is considered high resolution. Most apps now leave output resolution setting adjusted in the RIP / Print driver.
I still use Distiller because it allows me to setup custom PDF settings and save them for future use. You very well may be able to do that in CS6 apps; but I have a tried-and-true workflow that utilizes Distiller as a personal preference.
