Missing attribute in query designer

Hi,
I need some reasonable explanation for an odd behaviour. Here is the scenario: a multiprovider, say X, has an infobject with some attributes where two of them are navigational and authorization relevant, but not for multiprovider X which had their checking disabled on RSSM. In Query Designer a query built on infoprovider X does not show these attributes in the "Attritbutes tree" below the infobject unless an specific authorization be given to the query owner with value * for the authorization object. Where is the trick if multiprovider X is told not to check these authorization relevant attributes? On the other hand, authorization relevant infobjetcs shouldn't be a matter of data selection? Why are they sensitive in query designer if their check are disebled for that multiprovider?
Does anyone know how to explain this?
By the way, I'm using BW 3.5.
Thanks,
Fernando

Hi, Troy
Thanks a lot for your reply. I opened an OSS to SAP to answer why even the infoprovider having the object authorization unchecked, in design time with Query Designer the atribute was hidden. The consultant said that checking does matter only in runtime. In design time the user has to be fully authorized for the (authorization relevant) attribute to be seen, regardless whether the authorization object is or is not flagged on the infoprovider (transaction RSSM).
Below is a reply from Erick from another BI forum for this same issue that solved my problem. It may be helpful to you too.
"<i>Hi,
I'm working on a BW 3.5 project and I've encountered the same issue.
The issue occurs if :
- an infoobject is authorisation relevant
- this infoobject is attribute of a master data
- the corresponding authorisation object is flagged in an infoprovider
- role included this object restrict value
Solution:
you have to create a new authorisation object link to your infoobject.
This new authorisation object has to flagged in NO infoprovider.
Then create a role including this authorisation object and affect * as value.
As a conclusion, you can build an additional role including each authorisation object (with *) linked to each infoobject authorisation relevant (which are master data atribute).
Hope this help you,
Regards,
Erick</i>"

  • Can we perform restriction on attribute in query designer?

    Hi
    can we perform restriction on attribute in query designer? My scenario is to restrict on an attribute..Could any one help me out i this issue?
    Regards,
    Suman

    Hi,
    Restriction can be done only for navigational attribute.U cannot do restriction for display attirbute.
    if it is a display attribute u want to restrict -make it navigational for that infoobject.
    Also the attribute must be 'checked on' as navigational in the infoprovider as well on which the query is built.
    hope it helps.

  • How to merge text attribute in query designer

    Hi,
    please does anybody know, how to merge, let say, two text attributes of one characteristic into one long text? I know, that it is possible with method, which is finally called in the Web Application Designer. But I need to proceed this on the query level. It means, when I display result of query in query designer, I need to have two attributes merged into one long text. Is there some exit, method or something else, where can I do it?
    Thank you very much
    Best Regards
    J.

    Hello,
    I don't think so we have string concatenation at query level.
    You have to create / use existing info object and use string functions to achieve this.
    Might be you could wait for some time to get more replies.

    Yes, the problem is with the extractor
    It is not been enhanced because i am working on SAP BW 3.1C and its been implemented in 2004 and since then it is not been used properly.
    The Datasource is 0EC_PCA_3 (Enterprice Controlling line items).
    Yes i maximized to 1000 records per call and searched for the G/L Account E16411 which i cannot find in the cube.
    When i checked the results with R/3 i found the totals are doubled and when divided the Key figure Net of Credit and Debit by 2 i got the some results correctly(Sales Revenue, Sales Revenue of Exports and Sales Revenue of Domestic)
    I Checked the Service Marketplace and found the note which should be implemented to rectify the error of duplicating the records,
    Can you please help me to update the  G/L Accounts in the datasource.
    My Development System contains more then 2000 G/L accounts in the cube (query designer).
    Thanking you,

  • How to restrict the attribute values for the user in query designer

    Hi All,
    I have a requirment where certain user would see certain vailes in the query desiner of the attribute.
    The requirment is we have planing material which is attribute of material
    When X user want to restrict the  values for planning material ,where he is able to see all the planning material.But who is not authorized for all the value.
    Ex: X user has authorization for see planning material 100,101,102. of material But when he try to restrict the planning material in query designer where is getting all values of planing material.
    Or
    is there way to blank the restriction help.so that he can't able to see values while restricting
    Please some one can advise me on it..

    Hi,
    Let me sum up:
    you have an object ZPLNMAT for the planning material
    you have the object 0MATERIAL for material and this object has ZPLNMAT as attribute.
    If you can restrict in the query designer, I suppose this attribute is then as navigationnal and also added in the multi-provider.
    The object ZPLNMAT is checked as relevant for authorization, and you set up a role with the attached values of ZPLNMAT this user should have access to.
    Are you sure the users are restricting on the ZPLNMAT object and not 0MATERIAL, because you should have everything now

  • Nav Attributes not seen during creation of RKF in Query Designer

    Hi
    SCENARIO
    I have a Char InfoObject POSTFI[POSTFI is Navigational Attr] with 3 Navigational Attributes included in the InfoCubes.
    1. ZINREPIND Reporting Indicator
    2. ZFITMCD01 Statement 01 Financial Item
    3. ZPCNR1 Profit Center Indicator
    NOTE: All the above mentioned Nav Attr are properly set as Nav Attr and Active, Check and Rechecked.
    We have 2-InfoCubes Current and Historical[both have same Structure].
    A MultiProvider is build using the above 2-InfoCubes and the Char InfoObject PostFi is included in the MultiProvider.
    Now I am trying to Create a Report using Query Designer and in that I have to Create a RKF[GrossSales1] and
    the Condition for which is KeyFigure=FINAMT, where POSTFI_ZFITMCD01 = 5010, POSTFI_ZPCNR1= Y
    PROBLEM
    I can see the Nav Attr ZINREPIND, ZFITMCD01, ZPCNR1 in the main Screen of the Query Designer's LeftHandSide Pane containing KeyFigures and Dimenions under Dimension Financial=> PostFi=> Nav Attr ZINREPIND, ZFITMCD01, ZPCNR1.
    While creating the RKF on KeyFigure FINAMT I am just able to see the InfoObject POSTFI[in its resp Dimension] in the
    Display RKF GrossSales1 Screen in the Left Hand Side Pane where we see the KeyFigures and Dimensions.
    But I am NOT able to see the Nav Attr's ZINREPIND, ZFITMCD01, ZPCNR1 anywhere in the LHS Pane of the Display RKF GrossSales1 Screen.
    Now I cant Create the RKF bcoz I cant see the 3NavAttr's of Char InfoObject PostFi it the LHS Pane and the 2-Nav Attr required for creating the RKF.
    Can anyone PLEASE let me know How can I see/bring these Nav Attr ZINREPIND, ZFITMCD01, ZPCNR1 in the LHS Pane of the RKF Creation Screen to add them to make my RKF ?
    Thanx in Advance

    Hi
    As per your explanation, below are the details
    POSTFIPOSTFI --- This is navigational attribute which has below 3 objects as navigation attrs.
    1. ZINREPIND Reporting Indicator
    2. ZFITMCD01 Statement 01 Financial Item
    3. ZPCNR1 Profit Center Indicator
    first one, could you please confirm whether POSTFIPOSTFI is main info object or it is attribute of another info object.
    If it is attribute of another info object, then the last attibutes(3) are called Transitive attribute(attributes attribute).
    Reporting on Transitive attributes is only possible with the creation Info Sets.
    If my guess is correct, then create Info Set based two info cube now create the query.
    Hope it will work

    Venkatesh.

  • Attribute not visible in the Query Designer

    Hi,

    Please help me its very urgent.

    Hi Anita,
    As you stated earlier that some users are able to see it and some are not then it surely is a Authorization/Profile issue. Speak to the BASIS/person who manages this to resolve the issue.

  • BEx: In Query Design I can't EXPAND Dim to select Char (missing + sign)

    Hi,
    I am in BI 7, but created some queries in RRMX i.e. the 3.x query designer.
    I went back to create a new query and I see my InfoArea but no means to expand it to select a cube, missing + sign and I can't expand the InfoArea.
    When I managed to open one of the old queries, in the query design, I see my design but all the Dimensions are missing the + sign and I can't expand them to select characteristics;
    In the same token, I can't expand the KEY Figure tree to select key figures, etc.
    Any help?

    Hello Amanda,
        1) a   There is no such rule as when to use query designer or analyzer. Essentially creating a query is done in query designer only. The only thing when using analyser to open query designer is that you can directly go to that query and change it and run the same in the analyser(Excel). To change a query when you directly go to query designer, you need to open the query manually using the "open query" button and you cant execute the report in excel from there(only web). As you can see there is no real difference, in my personal experience using query designer and then running the query on the web is much faster than using the analyser. Also excel has a limit of 65536 rows after which you cant really display the result. There is no such limit in the web analyser.
            b) Report designer is just for creating reports that look good when they are printed basically. You can refer the following link for more info.[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/5fc0680a876b7de10000000a422035/frameset.htm]
    2)      There may be a problem with maybe the patch level or something. No real idea why this is occuring. You can definitely open the report in excel using the BI7 analyser. Programs -> Business explorer ->Analyzer.
    Regards.

  • Attribute not visible in Query Designer

    hi BI Gurus,
    I could not see some InfoObjects(Attributes) which are marked Authorization Relevant, in the query designer. And the strange thing is, they are not visible even for the user with SAP_ALL and 0BI_ALL assigned. The authorizations for the  cube in which the main char is used looks fine.
    I have checked all the options in RSECADMIN, everything looks good.
    pls help me in finding the solution..
    thanks
    Cnu..

    check out with the info object screen in attribute tab, navigational attribute on/0f switch box, if u r using FF source system.
    check out with the infocube whether u r checked the check boxes in navigational attribute tab.

  • Missing data fields in Query designer

    Hi Guys,
    A query exists on an ODS. There are few characteristics and navigational attributes in the ODS. In Query designer, on the left hand side under Dimensions,
    i can see 'Data part' (for Data fields of ODS) and 'Key section' (for Key fields of ODS).
    All but 2 fields (One data field and one navigational attribute of the ODS) are seen under 'Dart part' of the query designer.
    Data field - Accounting Document number
    Navigational attribute - Actual Acquisition Fiscal Year
    What may the reason for those 2 fields not appearing.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I executed a query on the ODS using LISTCUBE. To my surprise, i can find both 0AC_DOC_NO and ZACQ_YR here. If i can find both these in LISTCUBE, why don't i find the same in the query designer. Even though i built a new query on the ODS in the query designer, i still can't find them in the query designer.
    Thanks

  • Query Designer, Execute fails with missing iView (Portal Runtime Error)

    Hi,
    I have followed all steps to integrate Sap NetWeaver 2004s BI into EP. Checks done so far indicate that all is well between the EP and BI.  From within the EP, I can execute the Bex Web Analyser iView and from there I can execute a query on the BI backend.  From the BI backend, executing the function module RSWR_RFC_SERVICE_TEST returns the 'BI test service' success message.  SSO is working fine as no user/passwords were prompted for. From the trace file, I can see no errors appear but I do see authentication success messages.  So far, so good
    But, when I execute a query from within the Query Designer, it calls the browser and then errors with the following error:
    <b><i>Portal Runtime Error
    An exception occurred while processing a request for :
    iView : N/A
    Component Name : N/A
    iView not found: pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/com.sap.ip.bi/iViews/com.sap.ip.bi.bex.
    Exception id: 10:06_03/03/06_0012_26285450
    See the details for the exception ID in the log file</i></b>
    Looking at the trace file, all it tells me is the same, that this iView is not found.
    If I logon to the portal and have a look at the iViews within the 'platform-add-ons/bi' folder, I can see the following 4 iViews:
    BEx Broadcaster (com.sap.ip.bi.bexbroadcaster)
    BEx Portfolio (com.sap.ip.bi.bexportfolio)
    BEx Web Analyser (com.sap.ip.bi.bexwebanalyzer)
    My Portfolio (com.sap.ip.bi.myportfolio)
    I cannot find the missing iView (com.sap.ip.bi.bex).
    Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Ashish,
    Thanks for the suggestions.  Here is what happened:
    1. I have run the deploy and change template again (BIPostInstall).  Step 10 failed but I am not too concerned as it does appear that SSO is working both directions.  Also, step 13 failed which is the 'Configure Repository Manager'.  The error I got here was USER_AUTH_FAILED: User account for logonid "" not found.  I am not sure where it is getting the blank userid from. 
    2. The 'com.sap.ip.bi.business_explorer_showcase' role suggestion looked very promising.   I found some doco on it and it does mention this role and when assigned, then you see the Business Explorer tab.  I assigned it to all users and to all groups.  When I went back into the portal, sure enough, the Business Explorer tab was visible.  From within there, I could run query which all worked fine.
    BUT, when executing a query from within the BEx Query Designer, I still got the same error:
    <i><b>Portal Runtime Error
    An exception occurred while processing a request for :
    iView : N/A
    Component Name : N/A
    iView not found: pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/com.sap.ip.bi/iViews/com.sap.ip.bi.bex.
    Exception id: 11:25_05/03/06_0003_26285450
    See the details for the exception ID in the log file</b></i>
    Do you know if this is an actual iView that should exist in the portal content ?  If you have this working, can you see this iView in the portal?
    3. I had a look at this note (872043) but I could not get the sap download manager to work to get the zip files attached to the note download.  If you have it still, could you email it to me ([email protected]) and I will try that. Did you apply the zip file?
    I can't find any further trace information on why this missing iView error is happening.  I've amended the severity level on the areas which a SAP note detailed but the only information I get is that a missing iView was called.
    Function module RSWR_RFC_SERVICE_TEST still works fine and I can execute a query from the Web BEx Analyser iView.
    I just can't execute a query from the BEx query designer due to the missing iView.
    I don't know whether it is a communication problem even though SSO both directions seem to work OR whether I do have some content missing from my portal.
