  • Navigational Attributes in InfoSets[based on InfoCubes] - BI 7.0

    Hi Gurus,
    I am using BI 7.0. We tried creating a MultiProvider based on three SD Cubes[Orders/Billing & Delivery] but since the result was being displayed in 3 rows instead of 1, we tried using an InfoSet to see if this would get the results to be displayed in a single line.
    In the MultiProvider, we had mapped some of the 'Navigational Attributes' from the underlying InfoCubes after turning them 'ON', but in the InfoSet, I am not able to view the Navigational Attributes of the Cube anywhere.
    Are we not able to add 'Navigational Attributes' to InfoSets? Is there a work around for this?
    Thanks
    Arvind

    Hi Arvind,
    Check note 1124036 @ www.service.sap.com . Check if you need to apply this.
    Also you can add infoobjects themselves in the infoset and join them by keys.

  • How to join navegational attributes with infoset

    Hi Experts,
    How to join navegational attributes with infoset? the infoset based on ODS and both having navigational attributes,
    my requirment is to join Vendor account group navigational attributes with infoset,
    or else plz
    povid stps to crete...
    In the infoset how to  join Info Object CHAR1 to the CHAR1 in the ODS object which makes all the attributes of CHAR1 accessible in the Infoset..
    plz suggest with steps,
    regards,
    Edited by: Sap-10564461 on Apr 20, 2010 11:34 AM

    Hi,
      Consider that you have a cube/ODS which has 0MATERIAL. Say you have switched on the nav attribute Material group in the cube.
    Now since an infoset acts on a table level, it cannot read nav. attributes directly. Hence you will not be able to find 0MATERIAL__MATGROUP in the infoset.
    Now if you want to get able to obtain MATGROUP, you need to add 0MATERIAL to your infoset. One you have added 0MATERIAL, you will be see the attributes of this infoobject as fields.
    Map 0MATERIAL from the cube to 0MATERIAL from the info object. Join type is inner join. Now check the MATGROUP field under the infoobject table indicating that this field needs to be fetched by the infoset.
    Now when you run a query on the infoset, you will be able to use MATGROUP from 0MATERIAL.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards.

  • How to add a Navigational attribute to an infoset

    Hi All,
    I have an infoset for which i am trying to add a navigational attribute. For a multiprovider i could able to see the provision to add a navigational attribute whereas coming to an infoset i couldn't find any option to do so.
    i tried using RSISET tcode to adjust the infoset but couldnt see them yet. Could someone please suggest me the possible solution for this issue.
    Regards
    Jitendra

    Hi,
    after turning on the Nav-attributes in ODS and adjust via RSISET, you will see the attributes when doubleclicking the infoset.
    In Infoset maintenance find your ODS and scroll down the Object list.Can you find it in your Infoset ODS Characteristic list ?
    It should appear as an unchecked checkbox.
    tick it and reactivate the Infoset.
    if this is still not working then go through this notes below
    1082082
    1164196
    1158243.
    But if you want to use attributes for navigation in an DSO, you could add the infoobject itself to the infoset and link it to your DSO.

  • InfoSET - Characteristic restriction by navigational attribute.

    Created an infoset on 3 ODS's
    Checked the navigational attributes i wante in ODS. (eg 0country as attribute from ZVENDOR)
    When building the query it is not possible to have the field as a navigational attribute,only as attibute.
    When I want to use it as navigational attribute I have to add it to the ODS.
    Only then it is available as Navigational attribute in the query.
    When I Add ZVENDOR in characteristics restrictions and create a variable with replacement path "Attribute value" I get the message Replace variable with INFOOBJECT.
    "Value 'I' is invalid for property 'Replace Variable With' of element 'ZVENDOR_ATTR'"
    Define a valid value for property 'Replace Variable With' of element 'ZVENDOR_ATTR'
    How do I resolve this variable error ?

    navigational attributes are not visible in infoset, you need to include those nav-attrubetes physically in to your ods-data part to be able to navigate/filter.

  • Infoset - Query with navigational attribute as filter

    Dear all,
    We have created an InfoSet linking an InfoObject 0COORDER to an Info InfoCube containing order data.
    We have used a Left outer join to link 0COORDER tol 0COORDER in the InfoCube. The purpose is to be able to report on all 0COORDER even if they have no transaction data.
    When creating a query we get a list of all 0COORDER as expected. The problem arises when we try to use the navigational attribute "Status" from the InfoObect 0COORDER as a filter in the query. This does not work at all.
    Does anyone know what we are doing wrong here ? We are using BEx Query Designer 7.0.
    Kind Regards,
    Mikkel

    Hi Mikkel
    When you say that your Status field does not work at all, what is the error you are getting? Are you able to see this field in the query designer. If that is not the case that means your "status" is not chosen in the infoset design.
    If you are able to see it in the designer then please let us know what is the exact error you are getting.
    Thanks.

  • Navigational Attribute not found on Query for an Infoset

    Hi Experts,
    I have created Infoset on two DSO's and when i'm trying to query on it i'm not able to find the Navigational Attribute which are selected on both of the DSO's.So in order to get the Navigational Attribute on the query of the Infoset what should i need to do.
    Pls Help.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Amit

    Hi Amit,
    There is no other way to achieve this from the Infoset....
    As suggested by Tulsi.. u can include them in the DSO level.. but it requires enhancement and reloading etc.. and its costly..
    Or is it possible to join the master data infoobject if the design works out.. but this also depends how many number of Attributes from how many number of MD that u are looking into..!!
    Thanks
    Hope this helps

  • Need to add navigational attribute in query level

    Hi,
        Im new to bi . in dso i have  a navigational attribute  0CRM_MKTELM _ 0BPARTNER . 0CRM_MKTELM is a master data and  0BPARTNER also a master data that dso is used in infoset , 0country is the attribute of 0bpartner. i need to bring the 0country into my query . how can i do that

    If you want to use 0COUNTRY as a navgational atttr. first go to info object 0BPARTNER and make 0COUNTRY as a navigational attr. save activate.
    The go to cube or DSO and check Navigational attr box infront of this info object,
    And then it will be available as a navigational attr in your query.
    Hope this helps,

  • What the big impact change the navigational attribute

    I do have infoset contained 3 DSO,
    1 of the DSO have 0JOB which we need to set as Navigational Attribute..
    The the most impact and precaution that I need to think before take this step..
    i know that base on your experience .. hope that you could share with me ..
    Point will be assign
    thank you

    Hi...
    You can set 0JOB as navigational attribute....no probs...........
    But........navigational attributes require additinal joins during query runtime........so it has an impact on the performance..........It will slow down the query performance.............moreover if u hav aggregates on the cube.......during attribute change run .....adjustment of  aggregates will also slow down.........due to this we should always try to minimize number of navigational attributes..........u also consider how often the query will run.............
    Hope this helps.......

  • Not able to check navigation attribute in Multiprovider

    Hi Gurus
       I am trying to check the navigation attribute in the multiprovider which is built against Infoobject, ODS, & Infoset. I am not able to do it bcoz it is grayed out in the multiprovider.
    I checked in the infoobject definition, there it is turned on navigation.
    FYI, i am using version 3.1C
    Please help me out.
    Thanks
    Sansen.

    Hai San,
    If you want to make the object under Navigational in the multi provider that object should come from Cube(Possible).
    If you want to bring that object under navigational through Infoset(not Possible).

  • Unable to view Navigational Attributes in ODS

    Dear All,
    We have enabled Material Group as Navigational Attribute in Material. Material has been included in ODS as Key Field. In ODS also Material Group is switched as Nav Attr. Now when I check in Reports I am getting # for all Material Groups. I checked in ListCube. Here also I am getting # values.
    I did master Data Activation and also did Attribute change run. Where as I am able to view values for Material Group in Material Master Data.
    Regards
    Ravi Y

    Hi Ravi,
    You could check if the X/Y table of material group are correct.
    Do RSRV  combination check on the info object material and material group. Run all the tests...espeially the consistency of X and Y tables..
    Also, you could probably check if this is some authorization issue... that you dont have authorization to view contents of material group...(may not be the case, but worth a check )...
    Sounds strange though, if all is ok and u still dont see material group. (and sometimes it cud be a refresh issue as lalit suggests....., if it has to get wierd )
    Hope it helps,
    Regards,

  • Navigational attribute in Cube

    Hi Gurus,
    I want to understand one point before I am going to perform a small enhancement.
    I need to set a navigational attribute in a cube(before it is not checked on "I/O") meaning make this navigational attribute behave as a char., but this cube contains data already, my question is :
    can I make this change ? if yes any other additional effort?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Ryan,
    The attr needs to be marked and activated as Navigational Attr in the parent char first. Then you can mark it as nav attr in the cube (which contains the parent char). Does not matter if the cube contains data...you can do this activity in a cube with data. Remember to reactivate the cube's update rules and any multiproviders that it is a part of after you make this change.
    Hope this helps...

  • Adding navigational attributes to a cube

    We have upgraded to BW 7.3. Previously when we added navigational attributes to a cube we need to activate the update rules from the ods but now it appears that we don't need to do that anymore. Is this the expected behavaior?  We are using the 3.5 update rules.
    thanks

    HI,
    If you are using 3.5, after selecting nav attr in the cube, the cube structure gets deactivated. The dependent update rules also gets deactivated. You will be forced to activate all again.
    In BW 7.3, SAP would have given privilege to add without activation. It is good for us. So nothing to worry.
