Navigational Attribute in Reporting

Hi experts,
Suppose I have created one attribute as navigational attribute in my infoobject characteristic.This Characteristic is in Infocube.
Now after executing query on this infocube,Can I drilldown from thic characteristic to Navigational attribute to analyse my results more?To achieve this,is it necessary to Switch On my navigational attribute in Infocube?or Can I achieve this even without switching navigational attribute in my infocube?
rgds,
P Olin

Hi experts,
Thanks for your replies.
Suppose if I donot want to create Navigational Attribute,how can I do technically,so I can drilldown to this characteristic from my original characteristic infoobject in the report to see more analysis...
I am thinkiing of creating hierarchy manually from top to bottom by creating one characteristic and adding it as 'external characteristic' in hierarchy tab of my infoobject characteristic which has this hierarchy..Is this an option?Can I still drilldown and see detailed analysis in my reports?
Thanks for your replies.

How to identify display and navigational attributes in report?

To all of thanks to be in SDN, plz send tue clarifications.....?
Q. How to identify display and navigational attributes in report? is there any naming convension differences for both of them?

This works fine for "powerusers", but for informational users you have to create your own naming conventions for all navigational attributes which are not unique. For example 0COUNTRY may be a navigational attribute of 0CUSTOMER, OSOLD-TO, 0SHIP-TO, 0BILLTOPRTY, 0PAYER. To make the text clear for your users in reports name it CS Country, SO Country, SH Country, BT country, ... as 0COUNTRY could also be a characteristic from the document.
This means quiet some work especially if you have a multilingual installation, but the information users will be very thankful.
hope this helps

1) Multiprovider is active
2) whether Navigational attribute is identify assign in cubes.
3) whether sid table thr for info-object.
4) I could see data in Multiprovider as well as in Cube
I created report on cubes also and getting same error.

How to see Navigation attribute in Report

Hi ,
I am working on BI7.0.
In my Query , material is a characteristic which has 3-4 Navigation attributes. But when I execute the report , I can only see Material data displayed (because only material is in the rows). I also want to see data of its attributes in report results. I dont have authorisation to change the query.
Also I am unable to open the Query in Local view (some connectivity issues).
Can you please suggest How I can drill-down those attributes.??
Also these attributes are not visible in free characteristics.
Thanks,
Su

Hi there,
To use the navegational attributes with drill down, they have to be available in either rows, columns or free characterisitic.
For that you have to edit the query. There's no other way.
But each navegational attribute is also a display attribute.
Therefore, you can after executing the query, right-click over material and select properties. You'll see a tab named attributes where you can add the avilable attributes to the left (so they will be displayed), and change the settings of each one of them (see only key, key and text, etc.), but you can't filter by any of those attributes, or do any drill down options over them. They are only display attributes.
Hope this helps.

# values for navigational attributes in report . (Urgent)

Hi Gurus,
I have a navigational attributes for time dependent master data. In the report I am not able to see values for that navigational attribute. I see # values for the navigational attributes. I checked the master data of main info-object. every thing looks fine.
please help me in regarding this.
thanks,
Regards,
Aarthi

Check the following two things again just to make sure you are doing everything right. These are already mentioned by Bhanu...
1) Go to the master data table (Q table or the M table) and check to see if there are M version records (OBJVERS = M). If yes, you need to activate the master data using the program RSDDS_AGGREGATES_MAINTAIN (Change Run). If there are no M version records then check the second step
2) If you do not enter any key date in the query, it takes the system date as the default key date. So check and see if any master data exists for today's date ?
Also just curious, which version and support pack level are you on ?

Reg: Display of Navigational attribute in report

Hi All,
I have a report built on the multiprovider which contains two cubes say CUBE1 and CUBE2.
I can see two rows in the report; each row corresponds to these cubes.
I have customer field and a country field in the report. Country field is maintained in the master data of the customer and is a navigation attribute in the report.
I can see the Customer filed in the report output but the country field is not showing any value.
Country field in the customer master data.
Please provide your inputs, why I am not getting the values in country field.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Check the following.
1. Check if the data is available for country field in the customer master data.
2. Open cube 1 and check in the navigational fields, Contry is marked or not. If you want to use it in the report, Country field which is in a customer master data, should be marked.
3. Same way check in cube 2.
4. Open your multi provider, mark this navigational attribute if it is not marked, and assign it to the cube by right click-> identify.
if the data is avaialble in the master data, your problem will be solved.

Virtual infoprovider with services - Navigational attributes

Hi all,
I have a basic cube in BI system- X , and created a virtual cube in another BI system Y with services to read data from basic cube of BI system X . In BI system Y we built a report on virtual cube. This report (on virtual cube in BI system Y) is using a characteristics say Product group ( which is a navigational attributes of prodect in BI system X).
DataFlow is as under:
Basic cube in BI system X:
Product
Year
Amount
and Product group is switched on as navigational attributes in this basic cube.
Virtual cube in BI system Y:
Product group
Year
Amount
Report in BI system Y:
Product group in rows
Amount in column
This report is not working.
If I do the the following changes as follows then it works:
1.Use Product instead of product group in report
2. Switch off navigational attributes in basic cube.
We are in BW 3.5 and navigational attributes option is ticked on for virtual cube.
In summary, If I do not use navigational attributes in report and switch off navigational attributes from basic cube then report shows data.
Could you please help me to figure out the issue.
Thanks,
Harry

Thanks Naga,
Yes, I tried adding product in virtual cube as well but it did not work. Secondly, we do not want to add product in virtual cube because of data aggregation.
Most strange thing is that, once we switch on any navigational attributes on basic cube, function module stop working (paasing any data to virtual cube report). report says no appropriate data found. We are using sap standard function module "RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ_RFC". I debegged this code and no data in internal tables.
If we switch off all navigational attributes from basic/source cube this function module provide data to internal tables in code.
Why function module is behaving like that.
You guys experience/support/any clue will be appreciated highly.
Thanks,
Harry

Data issue with Navigational Attribute in the report

Hi Experts,
We have a report which has Material and Material Group in the report. Material Group is a navigational attribute of 0Material. We have some 31 material groups in the ODS. However, the report is diaplaying only 3 material Groups. If I use Material Group directly( not as an attribute of material) then it is displaying all the 31 material groups correctly.
We have a hierarchy which is loaded through Flat file on Material Group. We need the hierarchy to be displayed for all the material groups in the ODS. Please let me know what could be causing this issue?
Thanks and Regards,
Kavitha Jagannath

Hello Kavitha,
Check if the Material Masterdata is having these Material groups. If not then load this Material masterdata and activate it.
As your query is using Material group as Navigational attribute then the data should come from this Material Masterdata.
If your Material has only 3 of th eMat Groups then report will show only 3. Better update this Material masterdata.

Pratap Sone

Can i filter a report based on a value of a navigational attribute?

Hi all,
i need to filter a report and the characteristic i need it's a navigational attribute that is already present in the infocube, can i use it as a filter or i need to add a new characteristic to the ic?
thank you

Hi
You can use navigational attributes to filter your report. When you switch on the navigational attributes at the cube level, the X table or Y table will be connected to the star schema of cube.
Navgational attributes behave like a characteristic in the report. You can create variables, filter etc on navgational attributes.
Hope it helps.

Navigational attribute data not visible in BEx Report

Hello All,
I am facing following problem in one of my BEx reports:
I am fetching data from an ODS. With other columns of ODS, I have also to show few navigational attributes( which are master data of some info-object) . In report the corresponding data in navigational attributes is not visible for few records, although when I see the master data of this Info-object (whose navigational attributes I have to include), in Adm. Wrkbench the data is visible. I wonder what step is missing.
Many Thanks for helping me out.
Best Regards,
Sumita

Hi Roberto,
While trying to activate the Infoobject's master data (by right-click) I get the following message,
"Lock NOT set for: Loading master data attributes"
And the data is not activated.
Can you please suggest what needs to be done.
Thanks & Regards,

Reporting Authorization - InfoObject/Navigational Attributes

We have a custom infoobject for Vendor to which access needs to be controlled. Certain users are not supposed to have access to a number of the navigational attributes on the object however we want these users to have access to all other navigational attributes (meaning we don't want these 'fields' to be visible but everything else). We have other reporting authorization objects that prevent access to the entire 'record' if the user is not authorized for a certain value (cost center, etc.).
Thanks.

Hi Joerg,
navigational attributes are treated like characteristics. You can make them authorization relevant and restrict access, e.g. by granting ":", which allows to see overall results without details on this attribute.
