Metadata Extraction query modification

Hi,
I have extracted metadata in Parent child format by doing some modifications through the query provided on following link
http://camerons-blog-for-essbase-hackers.blogspot.com/2011/09/stupid-planning-queries-5-dimension.html
Now i want output in form:
In 1st column gen1, in second column its children(means gen2).
Gen1 Gen2 Gen3 Gen4 Alias Operator

we are haveing for standard dimension..
Please help its urgent

one of out enlightened on here may have something at their finger tips, or they may have another solution.^^^My bulb is pretty dim. :)
If you've already got this in a table, take a look at Gary's blog post on different kinds of queries:

FM RSCRMBW_REPORT: What parameters for extracting query in itab?

Hello,
I'm trying to extract query data to a XML-file (in order to use it as a connection source for a XCelsius-dashboard).
Therefore I use the FM RSCRMBW_REPORT as shown in Eddy De Clercq's tutorial:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/3ba5e590-0201-0010-59b1-cab51fd245b7
But I have a problem with the parameter i_extract while running the FM the second time:
What table do I need here? And what kind of structure does this table need?
Or is there any other solution for extracting query data to a XML-file? An ideal solution would be a XML-file with the same structue as the query.
I have tried the FM RRW3_GET_QUERY_VIEW_DATA but the problem is that I can't get the query's structure.
Thank you.

Robert,
I have integrated XML data from this webservice into Excel using XML Maps ... it works perfectly fine with the RESTFul Web service..
Once you have the XML Map in the excel sheet - create your table by dragging and dropping necessary fields and then point the dataset to your Xcelsius container...
I have not tried to change the XML in the BSP till now .. but one thing you can do otherwise is
have a custom FM based on the function by the same name RRW3_QUERY_VIEW_DATA and then you have AXIS_DATA and CELL_DATA and you can create your own XML string by manipulating the content...
Or you can directly call the web service QUERY_VIEW_DATA using the webservice option in Xcelsius...
I have still not found out why the variable name tag is required but have given you other ways of integrating SAP BI with Xcelsius...

Exception while retrieving deleted document using metadata based query

Hi,
I am using dbxml 2.4.11 on Mac OS 10.5. My xml documents are stored in the dbxml with some metadata. Index on metadata is built. After delete a document I get an exception (error code is DATABASE_ERROR) while trying to use metadata based query:
com.sleepycat.dbxml.XmlException: Error: DB_NOTFOUND: No matching key/data pair found, errcode = DATABASE_ERROR
at com.sleepycat.dbxml.dbxml_javaJNI.XmlResults_hasNext(Native Method)
at com.sleepycat.dbxml.XmlResults.hasNext(XmlResults.java:136)

at gov.nasa.gsfc.md.xdba.server.ApplicationServiceImpl.findDocument(ApplicationServiceImpl.java:99)
the code used to query:
query = ... /DIF[dbxml:metadata('md:Id')='1234']
// Perform the query.
XmlResults results = getXmlManager().query(query, context);
while (results.hasNext()) {
XmlValue xmlValue = results.next();
DocumentDTO documentDTO = new DocumentDTO();
XmlDocument xmlDocument = xmlValue.asDocument();
XmlMetaDataIterator metadataIt = xmlDocument.getMetaDataIterator();
XmlMetaData md = metadataIt.next();
while (md != null) {
String name = md.get_name();
String value = md.get_value().asString();
NameValuePair nameValuePair = new NameValuePair(name,value);
documentDTO.addToMetadataList(nameValuePair);
md = metadataIt.next();
retVal.add(documentDTO);
counter = counter + 1;
results.delete();
context.delete();
As name and value of the metadata I use kind of Id. If I use the query with a never before existing Id, I get the expecting error code DOCUMENT_NOT_FOUND, which is ok.
Anybody has an idea why?
Thanks a lot,
Hoan.

Hi George,
I use now version 2.4.16, built a new database, but I can't found any records using the code mentioned above. First I thought there would be problem on Mac, tried to install the whole database and app on linux, but the problem still persists. The query I am using is:
collection('////usr/server/gcmdx/xmldb/data/live.bdbxml')/DIF[dbxml:metadata('md:docType')='DIF' and dbxml:metadata('md:internalId')='456']
(Switching back to 2.4.11, I find the records inserted)
I can send a record if you want.
Thank you for your help,
Hoan.

Searchability & metadata extraction on password protected or compressed PDFs

Hello,
I am currently putting together a new document management system at my company (using http://www.alfresco.com )
and part of the functionality will involve automatic metadata extraction from stored PDFs, and google-like full-text search of PDFs.
We seem to be running into a few problems though -
All our PDFs were password protected in Acrobat to have a "read only" security permission - yet this seems to be blocking the metadata extractor.
I wasn't expecting this - obviously, Adobe Reader can still read the metadata, I'm wondering does it do anything special that other clients aren't allowed to?
Also, I'm wondering if the "object level compression" and "compress text and line art" Distiller settings could interfere with PDF content/metadata readability?

Let me expand a bit on Aandi's comments...
First, PDF document support two types of metadata. "Classic" metadata (called Document Info) which is stored in native PDF data structures and will be encrypted when the rest of the document is, so that you can NOT extract the data w/o processing the file as a native PDF document (instead of as "raw data"). "Modern" metadata is stored in a PDF in an industry standard XML grammar called XMP and will be left in "plaintext" when the rest of the document is encrypted - so that it can be located and extracted w/o the need to process the PDF natively - though it is still recommended!
Second, as Aandi points out, "compress text and line art" has been a feature of PDF since day 1, while object compression is newer feature of PDF introduced with Acrobat 5 (about 7 years ago!). NEITHER of these features will effect the "Modern" metadata, since it is required to always be in "plaintext", HOWEVEr, the latter CAN effect "Classic" metadata. Another reason you need to process a PDF natively.
Hope that helps...

Planning Form Metadata SQL Extract Query

I am trying to find Oracle SQL logic that I can use to extract metadata that defines planning web forms from the HSP_OBJECT, HSP_FORM_...etc. tables. I need this information so that I can query and analyze metadata changes that could impact planning web forms. In particular I need to get a list of all "Account" dimension members that are within a form that are set for "Input" data property in the form. We are on Planning 11.1.2.1.101.8. Any help on this is very much appreciated.

Oh my goodness, this saved my life, and probably the life of several other people. Thanks Jake and Brian.
I took Brian's code (and oh yeah, Kscope is an awesome and useful conference) and modified it for Oracle.
NB -- wm_concat is not a totally supported keyword, and (as far as I can tell) not supported before 11g. Here's a really good review of it and other strategies:
Let us discussion at wmsys.wm_concat VS ListAgg
Regardless, I am nothing if not a SQL hack, it works in my client's environment (really nicely, I must say), and even though this thread is old, I throw it out there so no one else has to do this.
And with that disclaimer, the Oracle version of the query:

Query modification problem after Business Content upgrade

Hi,
We have upgraded two systems from Business Content 3.1 to BC3.3. After the upgrade we have a problem when opening queries for modification: a dialogue window is opened and system says:
"<i>AUTOMATIC CORRECTION
The following objects were not found when accessing server
Press 'Repair' to correct the problem (incorrect parts of the query are automatically deleted)
Press 'Cancel' to undo the last action
Missing objects:
- InfoObjects
| |- InfoObject 0HIER_VERS
- Affected Items
   |- Hierarchy version</i>"
Strange thing is that the problem cannot be reproduced on consultants' laptops, only on clients' PC-s, so we believe there must be something about Windows/Excel security that produces the error message.
Have you ever experienced this (kind of) problem before? Do you have any idea what I should check?
I checked
     - Macro security settings in MS Excel,
     - logged on to the PC's as Administrator
     - logged on to BW with clients'/consultants' user ID's on clients'/consultants' PC's, problem appeared only on client PC-s
     - SAP GUI version (it is the same)
     - MS Excel, MS Windows version (the same)
I have also checked InfoObject 0HIER_VERS, it really does not exist in the system. But it does not exist in our Production system either, while the query is completely the same in both systems.
0HIER_VERS is a "technical attribute" (as I read in an SAP documentation - however, I don't really understand this term), it is attached to 0CS_GROUP (Consolidation group).
Thanks,
Csaba

Hi,
Before checking that did u acvtivate and update all the datasources at the source system level.

Unable to download metadata extracts from HFM

I was planning on buying my kids some new 4th gen iPod touch units and am considering a new iPhone myself, but if Apple are going to brutally excommunicate earlier generations of hardware this way, then I will be going Android instead :-(
It has nothing to do with the hardware, and not all devices seem to be affected. If you bought 4th gen iPods, they wouldn't have this problem. But the problem has nothing to do with what generation the iPod is. As for yourself getting a new phone, if you're not going to get an iPhone, I strongly recommend a Windows 7 phone or a Blackberry phone before Android. But I hope your problem gets worked out and your next phone is an iPhone. Good luck

Problem extracting, query with display attributes, in RSCRM_BAPI.

Has anybody experienced that problem?
When I execute the extract, the job cancels itself after 2 minutes. Sometimes even shuts down the DEV server.
There is no Dump in ST22.
The only error I get is:
TRUNCATE TABLE "/BIC/0CZTEST" where ZTEST is the extractor
But when I execute the extract with the same query without the display attributes it runs just fine.
Help please...

Check Table("/BIC/0CZTEST") using T-code "SE14".
If necessary, drop and creat, again.
Good luck.

InfoSet Query modification error

Hi,
I am trying to modify a InfoSet Query in SQ01 developed by a SD consultant last time. I already assigned my user ID in the User Group (in SQ03) which is referred by this Query. At the same time, I also assigned the Change Authorization to my ID.
After that, I modified this InfoSet in the SQ02 to add on 1 table and the Save is successful. Then I try to modify the display layout of the Query in SQ01. When I save it, it give me a message "The query is locked for changes by SDUSER". The ID SDUSER is used by the SD consultant last time. Then the modification is not saved.
I already checked in AL08 and also SM04, and found that this user is not log in at that time.
I already done whatever I know to try to solve this problem but I still can't settle it. Can anyone please help me on this? Why can this happen? How can I unlock it?
Thank you.

Hi,
the lock was made by SDUSER when he created the querie. It's an option in the first screen "Title, Format" (specials attributes). When this option is select, only the specific user can change the query (sometimes some modifications are allowed by other user's in specific conditions).
The only way of resolving the problem, is the SDUSER to disable that option from there. After that you will be able to change it.
If that user doesn't exists, you must call the Basis team to create the user again, log on, and change the option.

SQL Query Modification

Hi ,
I have created a SQL query using SQVI.
But I need to write some additional conditions in the logic which are not possible through SQVI / SQ01.
Therefore I am wondering ......
if we have some functionality where we can add my own logic/conditions in the SQL program generated by Std SAP.
Also I would appreciate if you could let me know the difference between SQVI and SQ01 and how to conver a SQL query to transaction code.
Regards
Shrey

Thx for your reply .... but I am some different query.
I have created a SQL query using SQVI.
The purpose of this query was to extract data from two tables.The query is working fine , till the time linked data is available is both tables
I am giving below example to explain my problem. I have two tables A and B with below fields
Table A
      S.No
      Student Name
     Class
Table B
      S.No
      Teacher name
      Education
both the tables are are linked thru common S.No field in my query and I am extracting data fields ,
S.No | Student Name| Class | Teacher Name
My Query is working fine till the time data record of respective S.No is available in both the tables. But there are cases when data is only available in TABLE A, such cases are not being extract through my SQL query.
Therefore i wanted to change the PROGRAM of my SQL query so that system should extract the data even when data is available in ONE TABLE only.
Therefore , is it possible to change the program generated by SAP through my SQL Query (SQVI) or this can only be achieved through a T.Code ?
If It is possible thru SQVI , then how should be proceed ?
Sorry for asking such a foolish query.
Regards
Shrey

and trunc(mmt.transaction_date) between nvl(:P_FROM_DATE, trunc(mmt.transaction_date)) and nvl(:P_TO_DATE, trunc(mmt.transaction_date))
group by mmt.primary_quantity,trunc(mmt.transaction_date) )a
--group by to_char(a.transaction_date,'DD')

You really didn't say what you want. If you get different results when you remove different parts of your original query, it is not unusual.
What do you want in the first place? Your subject says you need to modify the query, what is the modification you want us to suggest when you have already commented out many parts of your code.

Hi Prithvi,
     We are trying to extract metadata through java sdk from BO 4.1,we had been able to extract the data upto class level but can not proceed further to extract data related to the objects such as "measures,"dimensions","filters",etc from a class as we can't find suitable methods to do so.Please have a look to the following code snippet:-
RelationalBusinessLayer businessLayer = (RelationalBusinessLayer) local.load("D:\\Universe\\retrieval-2014-03-17-15-47-46\\eFashion4.blx");    //loading local blx file
RootFolder rf =businessLayer.getRootFolder();
List<BlItem> getchildren=rf.getChildren();   //would return list of classes
Now we intend to extract objects(filters,dimensions,measures) from each of these BlItems.
Please help.

Ashwani.
