Multiple values for Time Characteristics (Ex: 0CALMONTH) in planning layout

Hello,
We are on BW - BPS 3.5v
We have a realtime infocube with only time characteristic 0CALMONTH.
There is a requirement that in my Planning layout I have to display the Keyfigures for:
(CURRENT MONTH)    (CUMULATIVE 4 MONTHS FROM CURRENT MONTH) (CUMULATIVE 7 MONTHS FROM CUR MONTH)
I defined 3 exit variables on 0CALMONTH , one for Current Month, one for All 4 months from Current Month and another for All 7 months from Current Month.
In my planning layout when I use these variables for 0CALMONTH, I don't get the values for 4 months & 7 months.
I checked the variables are being populated with correct values. But when they get passed to the layout it doesn't read the Cube. 
I got the basic doubt if we can give multiple values for the time characteristics in planning layout..??
Thanks for any suggestions.
Vish

Hi.
Did you created 3 restricted KF: one with KF amount and variable current month, second with amount and variable 4 monthes, third with amount and variable 7 monthes ?
Did you have match records in you cube ?
Regards.

  • F4 Values for Time Characteristics

    Hello,
    in F4 on the variable screen of queries for Time Characteristics (like 0CALMONTH) I get all kinds of nonsense entries like: 07.004 or 06.0420
    Since I want to get only F4 entries booked in the InfoProvider ... where can I make this setting?
    The query is based on an ODS.
    Thanks for your help,
    Angelika

    Hi try it in InfoObject level.
    <b>See the followin link

  • Limited Support for Time characteristics 0FISCPER/0CALMONTH/0CALQUARTER

    The time characteristics 0FISCPER/0CALMONTH/0CALQUARTER are converted into Character type value in Universe which results in following problems on switching to Webi based reporting from current SAP BI front end tools.
    Problem 1: Sorting does not work correctly using the Key Value or Description as both are being treated as Character values. While setting up the Custom sort sounds like a workaround, the sort list has to be generated for all possible months/quarter/year combination that will be seen in the reports. Not a good solution when business analysts has to build their own reports from Universe.
    Problem 2: Using range selections (E.g. between, greater than, less than etc) in Universe conditions/prompts does not yield correct results due to the same fact that all values are treated as characters. Possible workaround is use this kind of conditions in BI query variables directly. But, this does reduce the flexibility of selections a lot, especially when users are used to simple ways of making range selections in BEx.
    Problem 3: keying in the prompt values for these characteristics/dimensions (both Key and text) is very cumbersome due to format issues. E.g. 1/2010 is no more recognized as valid fiscal period. You have to enter key value as K4/001/2010 or Text value JAN 2010 or January 2010 (based on text selected in query/infoobject). Only way of simplifying user input is to use LOVs and let users always select from LOVs. But, the users lose ability to simply key in values.
    Problem 4: The default LOVs generated for Fiscal period takes values from the master data and hence might show all available fiscal periods including special periods 00,13 thru 16 etc. even though they may not be relevant to the underlying report (e.g. a Sales report). This can confuse users who are not used to seeing these periods before. Possible workaround is to apply filters on LOV using condition and in some cases this should fix the problem.
    While some of the workaround for above problems sound acceptable (3 & 4), the others are not in my opinion(unless there is a better workaround anyone else have). My question is to experts from SAP is, can we expect better support for these objects in future Service packs? If not, then perhaps we need to move away from using this objects in reporting and use 0FISCPER3, 0CALMONTH2, 0CALQUART1 in combination with 0FISCYEAR/0CALYEAR to overcome above issues.
    Though  this can mean  (1) good amount of backend changes to include these Infoobjects in underlying Infoproviders, if there are not present already (2) User training to explain them to use these new time char fields instead of the ones they are already used to.
    I'm fairly new to BO and might have overseen somethings. I have already searched the BO forum related to this topic and did not find any satisfactory answers. Any input on this is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sree

    The issue is that these InfoObjects are not Data Type DATS in BI, they are NUMC and PERI7. Only InfoObjects of type DATS will be converted to Date format in the BO universe.
    Workarounds:
    - instead of using these time characteristics to filter results, consider using transaction dates, such as posting date.
    - create a customer InfoObject ZFISCPER which is a transformation of 0FISCPER to DATS data type.
    - create a custom variable in the WEBI reports which looks at the key for 0CALMONTH and only considers the first 2 characters which should identify the month (e.g. 01 = January, etc.). You can then sort on this and it avoids the year concatenation issue (e.g. JAN 2008, JAN 2009, JAN 2010).

  • Display multiple values for a characteristic for Equipment.

    Hi is there any way to display multiple values for characteristics of an equipment. Ex. An equipment (Presss) produces multiple ROH Parts. The class VN_TOOl with charactersistic "Part Produced" . When I run IH08 and execute the query, >Show , hide classification I can only get just one part instead of multiple parts. How do I get multiple values for the characteristic

    Yes Chandra,
    You are not getting it in IH08, but you are getting it in IE07. See this.
    IH08
    IE07
    If you want the report in the ALV layout, then you need to go for a development using FMs in Classification areas such as:
    'BAPI_OBJCL_GETCLASSES'     'ALM_ME_CLASS_CHAR_GETDETAIL'

  • Any way to pass Multiple Values for a single Label in the Parameter?

    I have a Report that Contains 2 Parameters, @Customer & @Area. When trying to set up the Available Values for @Area, I'm having issues using multiple values for one Label, i.e. = "4006" Or "4610"
    One of the Filters in the Report is an Operation number, which is the [OPERATION] field, which is setup as a filter on the Tablix referencing the @Area parameter. 
    PROBLEM: I cannot retrieve any data when trying to use the ‘Or’ Operator here. If I simply put “4006” or “4610” I retrieve data, but when trying to combine it returns no data.
    Example, I need to allow a user to select ‘Chassis Incoming’, which would include data from Operations 4006 & 4610.
    QUESTION:
    Any way to pass Multiple Values for a single Label in the Parameter?
    I realize the typical solution may be to use ‘Multi-Value’ selection, but in this case we want the User to select the Area and the multiple values for Filtering will be automatically determined for them. Otherwise, they are subject to not getting
    it correct.
    I have tried several different ways, such as =”4006” Or “4610”, =(“4006”, “4610”), = In(“4006”, “4610”), etc….
    Note: We are using Report Builder 3.0

    Based on my experience, there's no way to 'intercept' the query that gets passed back to SQL Server, so a Split wouldn't work.
    Try creating either a function or stored procedure using the code below (compliments to
    http://www.dotnetspider.com/resources/4680-Parse-comma-separated-string-SQL.aspx) to parse the string: 
    CREATE FUNCTION dbo.Parse(@Array VARCHAR(1000), @Separator VARCHAR(10))
    RETURNS @ResultTable TABLE (ParseValue VARCHAR(100))AS
    BEGIN
    DECLARE @SeparatorPosition INT
    DECLARE @ArrayValue VARCHAR(1000)
    SET @Array = @Array + @Separator
    WHILE PATINDEX('%' + @Separator + '%' , @Array) <> 0
    BEGIN
    SELECT @SeparatorPosition = PATINDEX('%' + @Separator + '%', @Array)
    SELECT @ArrayValue = LEFT(@Array, @SeparatorPosition - 1)
    INSERT @ResultTable VALUES (CAST(@ArrayValue AS VARCHAR))
    SELECT @Array = STUFF(@Array, 1, @SeparatorPosition, '')
    END
    RETURN
    END
    Once created you can do things like this:
    SELECT * FROM Parse('John,Bill,David,Thomas', ',')
    SELECT * FROM (SELECT 'John' AS TestName union select 'David' AS TestName) AS Main
    WHERE TestName IN (SELECT ParseValue FROM dbo.Parse('John,Bill,David,Thomas', ','))
    This is what your SQL query would probably look like:
    SELECT OperationID, OperationName FROM dbo.Operations
    WHERE AreaID IN (SELECT ParseValue FROM dbo.Parse(@Area, ','))
    You may need to fiddle around with the Separator depending on whether SQL Server inserts a space between the comma and next value.

  • How to passing multiple values for a parameter of discoverer(url parameters

    Hello Venkat,
    I know there are some problems with 10.1.2.0.2, maybe if you haven't done yet you can try with 10.1.2.2, assuming this version should be working for multiple parameter values :
    OracleAS Discoverer 10.1.2.2 is installed with the following patch :
    Patch 4960210 PLACEHOLDER BUG FOR AS/DS 10G R2 PATCH SET 2 10.1.2.2
    So, once installed you can try adding your parameter as param_<parameter_name>='sfophiee,angela'
    Hope this helps, otherwise feel free to log a Service Request to Support.

  • Got multiple values for non null local custom field

    Hi,
    I get the following error message while saving a MPP from Project Professional to MS Project Server:
    Got multiple values for non null local custom field.
    I checked the MPP and found that there are fields with same alias as Enterprise field names. However, these fields are at a Task level, whereas the Enterprise fields are at a Project Level.
    I would like to know why this is happening and the resolution for this issue. I don't want to delete the local fields.
    Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

    Then try to find any inconsistencies in the project plans with the issues, like required values not entered. Also try to save the plan as XML format and save it back as an mpp file to see if it helps (be aware that any formatting will be lost).
    Hope this helps,

  • Binding multiple values for a clause in a PreparedStatement

    Is there a way to bind multiple values for the same variable?
    Example: select * from catalog where catnum = ?
    and cat_num can be 12340-56, 23451-21 43211-00 etc.
    so the where condition really is:
    catnum in ('12340-56', '23451-21', '43211-00')
    Thanks for a lead!

    I've not been able to do this in a way I'd call clean. You might think you could do something like:// create a PreparedStatment with
    // the following String: select * from catalog where catnum in (?)"
    ps.setString(1, "'12340-56', '23451-21', '43211-00'");But the driver tends to escape the stuff you want to go "straight in" to your where clause. So I end up using Statement and building the SQL manually.
    I'd be interested in anyone else's solution

  • Multiple values for one key in hashtable k, v

    So, I know that java.util.hashtable (as of Java 1.5) uses separate chaining to handle collisions. What I want to know is how to get a certain value somewhere in that bucket if they all share a common key? Javadoc says I have to search it sequentially but doesn't say how.

    OK, there's a lot of confusion on here for such a short thread :-)
    Firstly, HashMaps pick which "bucket" to store your object in based on the hash value of your object (see Object.hashCode()). However, the actual object equality test (applied to the keys during a search) is based on Object.equals(). Therefore which bucket your object is in is irrelevant - the bucketting concept is just used as a way of quickly locating a subset of all the keys in the map which might match your search value. There could very well be just a single bucket in a map and it wouldn't change its logical behaviour.
    This statement: "any Map including Hashtable, can only have a single (key,value) pair" is poorly worded. What it should say is that for any given key, a map can only hold a single value.
    Really, you don't need to think about the internal structure of maps (i.e. buckets, etc.).
    If you want to store multiple values for any given key, then make your value a list (java.util.List) and store your multiple real values inside that list.

  • Storing multipl values for meta data in DOCUMENT_META_DATA

    Hi,
    We currently have 3 content types in our system: news, announcements, and events.
    They are currently stored in 3 different tables. We want to make this content
    available via the various CM (select) and PZ tags (contentquery, contentselector).
    I'd like to avoid writing my own doc provider (file:///D:/bea7/weblogic700/wlp/docs70/dev/conmgmt.htm#999019)
    and instead would like to begin to publish document data directly to the reference
    implementation tables (DOCUMENT and DOCUMENT_METADATA).
    It seems like I should be able to do that with one exception. It doesn't seem
    like we can store multiple values for meta data attributes. If you take the out
    of the box p13n example, a lot of the data is tagged with 'genre' = Something
    (i.e. Rock, Hip-hop, etc). Then content queries use this genre to personalize
    pages.
    What if I have a band that has multiple genres? What if I want to tag my band
    as Rock and Hip-hop? And then also want that band to appear on both a Rock lovers
    and a Hip hop groupies page? Is this possible with the default implementation?
    I know when I tried entering multiple 'genre' meta data values for a same document
    ID, it gave me a PK constraint violation. Any other trick around this?
    Thanks,

    Yes Subler http://code.google.com/p/subler/ does support adding the HD tag.
    On the Mac I wouldn't use anything but Subler for tagging, best UI, best metadata lookup, best underlying libraries for mp4 files (I'm biased on the libraries part).
