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.

  • Navigational Attribute in InfoSet

    Guys,
    I have requirement where in I need to use attribute of an attribute as a navigational attribute for a query on InfoSet.
    I have InfoObject 0Employee in my Infoset. Org unit is attribute of 0Employee. and Area is in turn attribute of Org unit.
    Now i want to use Area as navigational attribute in my query.
    Is it possible?
    Help on this would be much appreciated. and you all know I am always generous while awarding points.

  • Infocube design - Navigational attribute

    Hi Gurus,
    0ASSET is my characteristics and ZLOCCODE is a navigational attribute of 0ASSET.
    In infocube , the ZLOCCODE is defined in dimension and as well in navigational attribute. So , gurus could you please explain why we need to define the ZLOCCODE in dimension and in navigational attribute.
    What is the use of it?
    How the data will differ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Vaish,
    Here we have two cases.
    --> Use ZLOCCODE in cube Dimension and populate its value by 0ASSET master data
    In this case ZLOCCODE value is populated from 0ASSET master data at the time of data load.
    --> Use navigational attribute ZLOCCODE in Cube
    In this Case ZLOCCODE value is the currect 0ASSET master information
    Yes, both value can be different based on business logic.
    EX.
    You have loaded data in Cube on 01.01.2011
    at that time for Asset 'X',  ZLOCCODE value is 'A'.
    So cube will store ZLOCCODE = 'A'
    but on 01.08.2011
    ZLOCCODE value of Asset 'X' is changed to 'B'.
    in this case if you see Value in Query today then you can see Cube dimension ZLOCCODE value ='A'
    while nav attribue ZLOCCODE value = 'B'.
    Kindly note that not all the master data can be change, some of the master data value is always fix.
    For Ex. Employee Gender never change so if you see Nav Attribute or Dimension Gender then value must be same.

  • 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 change an characteristic to an navigation attribute?

    Hello everyone!!
    Does anybody knows how to change a characteristic that is on a POS to an attribute navigation of another characteristic that is in the same POS without deactivating it?
    An infocube has the same POS characteristics. So, if I do this modification, the infocube will be automatically chaged? I think not, but I want to avoid manually changing almost everything.
    Thanks in advance!!
    Regards

    Hello Heidi
    Sorry if I took so long to answer.
    Unfortunately you will have do deactivate the POS and of course change all the infocubes, infosources, etc, that are involved with this change. If you deactivate your POS, all the CVC´s are eliminated, so it will be better if you backup all the data in your live cache in an backup infocube.
    When you change the characteristic to an navigation attribute and also change the infocube, the data in the infocube will adjust automatically. You will have to create the CVC´s again with the new "format". But in the infocube, it won´t be necessary.
    I hope it helps.
    Best Regards

  • Reg Navigational Attribute in Query

    HI
    Iam having a strange problem,I wasnt to include a channel levl that is a navigable attribute to customer in my query.The query is reporting from an multi provider.I find that the navigable attribute is checked in my Infocube ,but its not appearing in my query to drag it in the columns.
    Is it because it is reporting from Multiprovider should it be generated.If so how?
    Thanks
    BR

    You need to make it as navigational in the multiprovider definition too. Navigational attr of underlying cubes are not automatically included in the multi. You need to manually include them as you do for the chars and KF's

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • F4 Input values for variables based on Navigation Attributes

    Hi,
    We would like to use the option "Q Only Posted values for navigation"  from the set F4 mode 'Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn' in the Multiprovider specific properties.
    The problem is that  this option Works for Infoobject stored on the infocube, but It doesn't work for Navigation Attributes.
    Question : Could you please tell us how to use the option "Q Only Posted values for navigation" with _Navigation Attributes _ ?
    Thx.

    The input help only offers values for which you can select data in the current navigational state
    Check the below link ,

  • Navigational Attribute, no data in infocube.

    Dear all,
    I want to have navigational attribute for my infoobject 0orgunit which is an attribute of ZCREATOR. Here are the things which I have already done.
    1.     In my infocube, I have navigational attribute checked under characteristics.
    2.     In my infoobject ZCREATOR, I have navigational attribute as type NAV and not DIS under the attributes tab.
    3.     Query again the master data and have manually run the attribute change run.
    ohya, ZCREATOR is a reference characteristic of 0BPARTNER.
    Anyway, in the infocube, when I load my data, the blue column which represents navigational attribute is empty. Is there something I’m doing wrong? Please advice and thanks in advance.

    1. how do i populate the blue column in the infocube then? whats the use of it when no daa will get populate.
    You cant populate unless you derive the values in the update rules/transformations. The advantage of using nav attributes, is not to derive values on the cube level but will be able to use it on query level. If there will be a change in the masterdata, you need not go back to realign the data inthe cube if u r using nav attribute, as it would always read from the updated master data table.
    2. in my query, i am using this charcteristics ZCREATOR__0ORGUNIT do display my navigational attribute, but still no data is available. its display empty field in the column.
    a few checks:
    is the nav attrribute available as a char in the query designer?
    if so, when you expand the char, and click on the values - do u see any values?
    if not the master data is not available.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Navigation attribute in a InfoCube

    Hi Experts,
    Question: No Values for Navigation attribute in the report that has InfoCube as InfoProvider.
    I have a requirement to include a new feild as navigational attribute in a Characteristic.
    So, i create the InfoObject IO1 . Assign it as a Navigational attribute to InfoObject IO2.
    Now, in the Infocube, there is a setting under the Navigation attributes (On/Off) i check on it.
    Now, in the query i add IO1 as attribute for IO1. So that when the query is run IO1 values will be displayed.
    But unfortunately no values for IO1 are displayed.
    Cross check i did:
    For the InfoObject IO2 there are other InfoObjects as attributes IO3 & IO4.
    Now when i include this as attribute and display there are values for IO3 and IO4.
    I can understand there is some setting i have missed.
    Can you please list down all the steps to display the new InfoObject IO1 in the report.
    Thanks,
    Suraj S Nair

    Hi,
    Yes i have done that too.
    In InfoObject IO2, i can see values are populated for IO1.
    IO2      IO1
    A         A1
    B         B1
    Now, in the report i have IO2 values (A & B).
    So, attribute IO1 that is (A1 & B1) should be displayed for the respective IO2.

  • Variable entry from Navigational attribute

    Hi,
    I would like to let the user of a web query enter a value for a navigational attribute of a characteristic in the variable screen. How do I create variables based on nav attributes?
    Example:
    The report shows 0MATERIAL with key figures. The user should enter a Division (Nav attr of 0MATERIAL) before entering the query.
    Best Regards
    /Daniel

    Hi Daniel,
    In the infoobject maintenance of 0MATERIAL, Make sure the attribute Division has NAV property instead of DIS in the column Navigation Type.
    Then, Have you switched on the navigational attribute in Infocube.(Modify Infocube >>Nav.attributes)
    After doing these two steps you should achieve what you are trying for.
