Merge CHAR values in BEx

Hello Experts,
I am trying to achieve the following, please can someone throw me some ideas. ofcourse points will be assigned to the useful answers.
I have a Char called "Acc.*** cat" which has 3 to 5 values such as "WBS element", "Order", "Cost centre" etc. The values for each WBS, Order and Cost centre are availble in corresponding CHARs as below.
Acc. As cat      WBS_element      Order         Cost Centre
WBS                ESXXXXX1           #                  #
                        ESXXXXX2
                        ESXXXXX3
Ord                   #                        KSXXX1         #
                                                  KSXXX2
                                                  KSXXX3
cost                   #                          #               CCXXXXX1
                                                                      CCXXXXX2
                                                                      CCXXXXX3
My requirement is that the output should as below with one CHAR intead of 3 Char. Basically these merging values in a new char as below
Acc. As cat        Merge_char
WBS                 ESXXXXX1
                        ESXXXXX2
                        ESXXXXX3
Ord                   KSXXX1
                        KSXXX2
                        KSXXX3
Cost                CCXXXXX1
                       CCXXXXX2
                       CCXXXXX3
etc                    etc
I hope i made my requirement clear. Please can someone help on how to achive this requirement?
Thanks,
Mahita

Hello Oscar,
Thanks for your reply. But sorry I am still a kid in BI. Can you give me step by step instructions, as i have no idea about Virtual Char? Is there any code involved for this? I would really appriciate a detailed reply or some help documents to achieve this problem

How to use OFFSET for CHAR type value in Bex query

infoobject A value = 1102007
Type = CHAR
I want to have an offset for this infoobject created in query say 1 to 12 months
in month of 10/2007 value = 1102007
remember above 1 is always CONSTANT
then
in month of 11/2007 value = 1112007
in month of 12/2007 value = 1122007
how to do this since the infoobject is of TYPE- CHAR ,its gives we cannot do the OFFFSET in the query ,for doing OFFSET the infoobject must be of type numeric or NUMC.
is it possible achieve this in to update rules?? since i cannot change the type of this infoobject now in the middle of production support
please help
thanks

Hi,
You will have to add a characteristic to your cube.
The format should be NUMC
In the update-routine you will have to convert the char value to numc

While Creation Of SaleOrder Char Values are not getting saved.(V C)

Hi SAP gurus,
One of my client can able to create a saleorder but when we go and see in VA03 Display mode,we found Charactrestic values getting miised out.What could be the probale reasons.
Note: I Have stimulate the required combination as per my client requirement in CU50,here i can able to indentify the Green Sign,but While Creation Of SaleOrder Char Values are not getting saved.
Awaiting for your valuable reply.
Cheers,
Kumar.S

Kumar ,
If you assign values in classification view or configuration profile they will become default for the product, and it willnot be changed in sales order.
another thing if the item category is incorrect you will not get the configuration pop up at all .
problem what i understand from your thred is at the time of sales ordeer creation there is some inconsistances in the configuration , may be some condition is not fullfilling.
If in CU50 the result shown are error free, same configuration should owrk properly in sales configuration process, please again try to create it in sales order with same value assignment also check all the messages.
see the result of configuration before saving the sales order , i hoep it will work for you.
I am assuming all the things from SD are properly configured ie item catageory, varient pricing etc.
Check and revert back.

Default value of BeX customer Exit variable not Displayed in WeBI??

Hello Experts,
We are stuck with a problem where WeBI report is created on top of BeX query and we are not able to see the default value of Bex Customer exit variable in WeBI run. Here is the complete scenario:
1. One restricted KF is created in BeX, restricted with Customer exit variable on net Due date. And this variable is mandatory, ready for input, and Default value in calculated is user exit as current Week's Monday.
2. So, by default KF data should be restricted to Monday of current week, if user does not change this value.
3. Now, WeBI report is created on top of this Bex query, and all is working fine, i.e. we are getting variable as Prompt in WeBI, but Default value is not shown while Running the Webi Report.
So, need your inputs on the same, if default values from BeX in WeBI is supported or not? If yes, why this is happening, and how to resolve it?
Please notice, the restrcition is in KF only, it is not a separate restrcition on Net Due date in Filter area or in Defualt area of BeX
and we are on SAP BW 7.1 and BOXI 3.1 SP4.

Vipul

Hi,
See 1285993 - Support of Customer Exit Variables from BEx query into WebIntelligence via OLAP universe
WebI will prompt when executed, but the default values calculated by the user exit - do not appear.
Note: If the BEx variable has property 'ready for input' set / enabled, then its WebI prompt shows ok, but no default value appears.
Cause
This behaviour expected 'by design' (in the context of the product's current limitations) as explained in the online guide below:
Please refer to Chapter 7, page 44, document link here: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf
Characteristic variable > processing type > Customer Exit is "Supported, without user entry"
--> This should be understood as meaning "User will not be shown a prompt"

Getting char values from a string problem

Hi,
Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:
boolean loopSwitch = true;
while (loopSwitch)
     String orderDecider = JOptionPane.showInputDialog (null, "Would you like your numbers to be ordered in   ascending or descending order(A/D)",      "Order decision", JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);
     if (orderDecider == A)
     loopSwitch = false;
     }I basically want the user to input either a/A/d/D and to get the char values from the string so I can use them in an if statement.
Basically, I wanna parse the string into a char.
Is this possible?
Thanks.
Edited by: xcd on Oct 16, 2009 8:38 AM

Why not just use the String.equals() method to compare a String to a String?
But if you must, you can use the String.charAt() method to return a char at a particular location in the String.
Note: char literals need to be surrounded by single quotes ('A') and String literals need to be surrounded by double quotes ("A").

How to Add a New Filter Value in BEx WAD to Display All Result

Hi experts,
I want to add a new filter value in BEx WAD to display all data records. The scenario is as follows:
The status field can have two values: Active ("A) and Inactive ("I").
But the requirement is to have a third value to display all the data records (Active + Inactive). E.g. the value can be "G". The purpose is to increase the understandability for report users.
Does anyone have an idea?
Regards,
Joon

Hi Vineet,
thanks for your reply. The problem is that there are only 2 values available for this Characteristic: "A" or "I".
The requirement is to have a third value "G" (instead of the default "All Value") due to historical reason, because all future report users have been working with R/3 reports for quite some time and they are accustomed to using "G" for displaying all values.
Is there any possibility to realize this?
Thanks,
Joon

How to Convert a HEX value to CHAR value...Unicode Issue...

Hi,
How can I convert HEX value to CHAR value.
The Code in non Unicode system is:
DATA: t_text LIKE tline OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
constants: c_hex_20a5(2) TYPE x VALUE '20A5'.
t_text-tdline = 'seller of the item so listed. A legend of the Seller Code(s) is as'.
 TRANSLATE t_text-tdline USING c_hex_20a5.
The same code give error in Uni-Code system:
error is "c_hex_20a5 must be an character type object (C, N, D, T or String type)."
If anyone know, what is the solution, please let me know.
Thanks!
Puneet.

Hi,
Try declaring the Hex chars using the ABAP char utilities. This is just a sample piece of code on how to declare and use:
CLASS cl_abap_char_utilities DEFINITION LOAD.
DATA: ws_lf TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf.
data: c_newline TYPE x VALUE '0D'. [ it is zero D, for carriage return ]
ws_lf = c_newline.
 CONCATENATE it_tab-maktx
 ws_lf
 ws_template
 INTO it_notificatn-template.
Hope this helps...

How to write the char value as is in the CSV file

Hi Everyone,
I am creating csv files which contains inventory details for all the products. I am able to create the csv file with utl file concepts. My problem starts after the csv file is being created.
some of the product numbers(Though I am saying Product number, it is varchar2 data type in the table) is like this 3E-12, 3E-54 and so on. I have totally 23 product numbers like this.
When the user opens the csv file it is changing to numbers like this 3.00E-12, 3.00E-54. I want to keep the product number as it is like char value. I tried many quoting and concat methods.
But none of them works for me.
I am using oracle 9i.

How to changing char. values and create new lines in C_TH_DATA

Hi experts,
we need to distribute the cost of some sender costcenters to the corresponding receiver costcenters.
We have already created a DSO and maintained this with the sender and receiver costcenter. We use this lookup table later in the execute method of our created planning function type to take the sender costcenter and distribute this to the corresponding receiver costcenters.
I've already implemented an IP planning function based on planning function type for this process.
At the end when I debug the method I see that this works fine. I give you an example:
I have in my lookup table the following record:
sender costcenter           receiver costcenter            distribution percent
4711                                    4712                                    75
4711                                    4713                                    25
Based on those records in the lookup table I've to distribute the cost of sender costcenter to the receiver costcenters.
Just imagine I would get this record from c_th_data:
sender costcenter    costelement     value
       4711                 3000111         100
I have to have the following result after running the exit planning function:
   costcenter    costelement     value
       4711                 3000111         100                   -> without changing
       4711                 8000111        -100
       4712                 8000111           75
       4713                 8000111           25
When I debug the exit function I see in the execute method that c_th_data will be filled correctly. I see exactly the records that I want to see.
But once the function is finished I don't see this result. I also checked the conversation
Changing Char Value in IP C_TH_DATA
but I can't understand what happens after my coding yet.
Can anyone help me or give me an advice what could be the problem here?
Thank you all in advance for your support.
Kind regards,
Ali

Hi Ali,
The planning function generates the records in delta mode. I am explaining the concept taking your example only:
Records in cube before running PF:
sender costcenter           receiver costcenter            distribution percent
4711                                    4712                                    75
4711                                    4713                                    25
sender costcenter    costelement     value
       4711                 3000111         100
       4712                 3000111         100
       4713                 3000111         100
The records that you need to generate from code(Previous ones need to be changed):
sender costcenter    costelement     value
       4711                 3000111         000
       4712                 3000111         175
       4713                 3000111         125
**Please note that you dont need to generate any corrections(delta records), you only need to generate the final values in the records and the PF will generate the delta's on its own. Also in this case you should see 3 Records Read, 0 Deleted, 3 Changed.
Please let me know if you need any more clarification,
Thanks,
Puneet

Crosstab with char values doesn't work

I am using Template Builder for Word 5.6.2 to create a crosstab report. I need to create a crosstab table that has char values in the cells not numbers as is expected by the wizard. Because the sum command expectes a number it displays the NaN not a number error in the cell if I try to display a char value. I tried changing the sum to max in the cell:
<?max ($G1[(./CRITERIA_ID=current()/CRITERIA_ID)]/THRESHOLD)?>
but this gives an error.
Is is possible to display a char value?

I ran into a similar problem before and worked around it by moving the query to a pipelined function in the database as described at WITH clause unexpectedly causes ORA-00942 in Reports Builder
Hope this helps.

"Merge with values" not merging values

Hello,
I have quite a problem with LDAP provisionning and LDAP groups management:
- "user1" and "user2" already exist in the LDAP directory and are members of "group1"
- I create user1 in IDM and give him the LDAP ressource => he gets linked correctly to his account
- I create user2 in IDM
- I have a role in IDM with the LDAP ressource associated and a "set attribute value" configured with "group2" and "merge with values"
- when I give this role to user1, user1 gets group1 and group2 in the LDAP directory. Great.
- when I give this role to user2, user2 gets linked correctly to his account and only has group2! group1 has disappeared and no merge whatsoever was performed!
Of course, my real situation involves thousands of existing users, and I plan to manage user ressources only via Roles and not via Ressource. I then have thousands of user2 who are going to lose their groups!
I also tried with "Authoritative merge with values", same result.
Any idea what should be changed?
Thanks

Hi,
If the users already have access to 'group1' then create a role with "Merge with value, clear existing" for the attribute.
If required then create another role for 'group2' also with "Merge with value, clear existing" for the attribute. A user who is assign both roles will be granted access to 'group1' and'group2'
"Merge with value, clear existing" will ensure the user only has access to the groups as per the role assignments. If the user is independently assigned 'group3' then IDM will remove 'group3' next time the user is refreshed within IDM.
If you only use "Merge with value" then old groups will not be removed even if they are not required.

Function Module to extract char values for a matl variant

Experts,
Looking for a Function Module with which I can extract the Char value for a specific characteristic on my material variant. So, the class type is 300 & I would like to pass this material (variant) as an input in order to retrieve the value for the specific characteristic (which will be unique to this variant)
Any one, an idea?
thanks

Ok, I found what I needed. For everyone's benefit, herez what I found:
1. every application/object in the SAP side which uses the configuration has a unique Internal Object #. For material variants, Sales Documents, Prodn Ord headers & components, so on so forth.
2. In the system the fields CUOBF, CUOBJ carry these Internal Obj #'s. For the sake of getting the material variant char & values I found the func module VC_I_GET_CONFIGURATION, where the input could be the Int Obj # from the MARA or the one from VBAP, based on the need.
Thanks
