DECODE SQL Function - Parsing error in Defining Objects in Universe Designe

Hi,
I have created a class and an object in BO XI R3 Universe designer.
I am getting the parsing error while defining the object when using the custom SQL as
select decode(matteraction,null,decode(matterissue,null,'MATTER','ISSUE'),decode(matterissue,null,'TYPE IS ACTION',' ACTIONu2019)) as TYPE from wh_cf_cmsu
The object Type is "character", i have tried with Long Text, Number, Date as well and the same sql works fine by returning String values through TOAD.
Do we have any constrains in using DECODE in BO XI R3 or any other syntax please....
Please guide me in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Karthik.

Hi,
1.At back end check the data type for matteraction column and define it accordingly in object definition.
2. Try to break your select clause definition into smaller parts and check it where the exact issue is as below
i.select decode(matterissue,null,'TYPE IS ACTION',' ACTIONu2019) ............
ii.select decode(matteraction,null,decode(matterissue,null,'MATTER','ISSUE') ..........
iii.select decode(matteraction,null,decode(matterissue,null,'MATTER','ISSUE'),decode(matterissue,null,'TYPE IS ACTION',' ACTIONu2019)) as TYPE from wh_cf_cmsu

Don't worry for that message. It is normal.
You can use getdate().
Now, for WebI, I guess you want to use it with any other table don't you? You can add this CurrentDate object in any query you want instead of using it in an empty query.
If you don't like this approach then use WebI's CurrentDate function.
=CurrentDate()

SAP BO universe design tool

Hi Experts,
I am new to SAP universe design tool. Please any one tell me difference b/w Alias and context and when these concepts we implement.
Thanks
Poorna

Hi Poorna,
A context is required if you have more than one route to a table, this would be because you can join to it from more than one table.
If you really do need the table to be joined twice, from different routes, you can create a copy of the table - an alias - and re-route one of the joins to this. Doing this eliminates the need for contexts.
This copy, or alias exists at the BO level and doesn't physically create a copy on your database, it serves to modify the sql that is generated

It will not parse! Creating a new object in the universe

Hi, we have a universe and BO reports. They work fine for our clients. We are on BO XI r3.1. Now, one client captures an additional piece of info. They would like to report against this and add it high up on our drilling heirarchy. "Sure, no problem". For the following I was logged in as administrator.
The additional data field is a 3 character code.
1) We added an additional column to the actual database table.
2) In Universe Designer, I refreshed universe structure and could see the additional column
3) Created an object 'Acode' that refers to db.new_field
4) Exported universe
Maybe worth mentioning that I can see this object and use it in reports fine in Infoview.
Now, I need to create a new object that will be one of 2 strings based on the 3 character code (Acode) i.e. the 'Atype' can be X or Y.
Here's my code and it just will not parse:
CASE
WHEN @Select(AFolder\Acode) = 'CEL'
THEN 'X'
ELSE u2018Yu2019
END
Error I get is:
Parse failed:Eception:DBD ODBC SQL Server driverStatement could not be prepared.State 42000
I'd appreciate any help, believe me I have searched the forums!
Thanks, Eddie

Olap universe(creating new object)

All,
I am using bo 4.0 version and i have created an olap universe on top of bex query.i am new to olap universe.
I have a need to create a new customized object in my olap universe out of two existing objects.As of now i am creating variables in my webi report generated out of the olap universe to fit my need.Instead i want to create a condition object or some kind of object in the universe itself.
how can i do this?Any ideas or suggestions.
For ex:
my requirement looks like this,not exactly the same as indicated below but similar.
existing objects
city object has certain values 'hyd','new york'
currency objecthas 'rupee','dollar'
new person object out of the above mentioned existing objects
if city='hyd' and currency='rupee' then 'indian' else 'non indian'
how can i do this?Any ideas or suggestions.
Regards,
Reji.

Hi,
there's a function builder / formula editor in Universe Designer, with OLAP universes this uses MDX syntax with XML markup.
to build up some logic, you need to use the "IIF" operator.

H
p.s. in BI 4.0, route-one should be the BICS BEx connection, not the OLAP .unv ..

Design and registration of new objects

We have the following three objects:
- Order, which contains:
-- OrderStatus
-- Vector: OrderStatusHistoryItem
Whenever order.setStatus(newStatus) is called we would like to create a new OrderStatusHistoryItem and add that to the vector of history inside the Order.
Our first guess was to put this in the setStatus method of the Order object, so that noone would bypass the adding to history. But... When creating the OrderStatusHistoryItem inside the Order we of course get an error from TopLink, saying that the object was not registered in the UOW.
Is there some way that we can tell TopLink that this relationship should be registered automatically on commit? If not, what would be the best way to design this? Of course we do not want to expose our domain layer to the internals of TopLink. Would a factory be the best way to handle registration upon creation?
Thanks,
Anders,

Anders,
New objects created and attached to working copies will be discovered during commit cycle and added to the persistent model including the appropriate INSERT. The only issue you will have is that you must make sure that setStatus(newStatus) is ONLY called on working copies read from or registered with a UnitOfWork. If this is true you should be able to create the new OrderStatusHistoryItem within the setStatus method and add it to the collection without registering it in the UnitOfWork.

Creating objects in BO universe designer

Hi All,
I have designed a universe on the top of BEx Query. I want to create additional objects at Universe Level.
I am able to create objects in the Universe and they gets parsed, but when I pulled the same objects in the report query it generates a MDX error.
Even a simple <Expression> @select(Key Figures\Actual) </Expression>is not working
Please provide me some pointers for creating the objects.

Hi Didier,
I am creating objects in OLAP universe only.
I am using BO XI 3.1 with SAP Integration Kit installed on my system.
I am not able write any expression in the objects being created at universe level. Any expression, I write gives me the error while running the query while the object gets parsed at universe level.
for @Select() I am using the same as you write?
One more doubt what shuould be parameters of @Select()?
Technical Definition (Generated in the select clause) or Display Name (Class name\object Name)
If I am writing the definition as @Select([Measures].[000054728]) Then the object defition gets parsed but if I am writing it as @Select(Key Figures\Actual) then the object doesn't get parsed in the universe.
I guess I have read somewhere that we can use "@Select(Key Figures\Actual)' while writing the expressions. Please correct if I am wrong.
Regards,
Rohit

Create new object (measure) with IIF function on BW Olap universe:mdx error

hello
i have a universe based on a BEX query
i want to create a new object (a measure) with the IIF(,,) function
i created the following select:
<EXPRESSION>IIF(@Select(Currency Type\CurrencyTypeCode)="10",@Select(Key Figures\RevenueGlobalCurrency),@Select(Key Figures\RevenueLocalCurrency))</EXPRESSION>
defined as number
where
CurrencyTypeCode is a dimension (character format)
RevenueGlobalCurrency and RevenueLocalCurrency are measure (number format)
i always have a parse which is OK but
when i want to use the object on a webi report i always have an MDX error : ...invalid MDX with .... (WIS 10901)
and advise ?
Thanks

Hi Didier,
Thanks a lot for your help.
Now it works : i do not understand why
i explain:
the correct syntaxe of my new measure is :
<EXPRESSION>([Measures].[4FVLHG7OAJMNY9WC06X6JLOZQ], [0CURTYPE].[10])</EXPRESSION>
it does not works with my "L01 currency type" BO dimension
([0CURTYPE].[LEVEL01])
when i had :
-my universe is based on a BW BEX query
-my universe has been automaticaly generated with the assistant
-the Currency Type Class was define as below:
       - 1 BO dimension object : L01 Currency Type =>
[0CURTYPE].[LEVEL01]
       - 3 BO detail objects : L01 Currency Type techName =>
[0CURTYPE].[LEVEL01].[TECH_NAME]
                                          L01 Currency Type Key =>
[0CURTYPE].[LEVEL01].[[20CURTYPE]].[Value]
                                         L01 Currency Type Long Name =>
[0CURTYPE].[LEVEL01].[[40CURTYPE]].[Value]
i always had a wrong mdx syntax error on the webi report
i updated the class with the follow
     - 1 BO dimension object : L01 Currency Type =>
[0CURTYPE].[LEVEL01] (idem)
       - 3 BO detail objects : L01 Currency Type techName =>
[0CURTYPE].[LEVEL01].[TECH_NAME] (idem)
                                          L01 Currency Type Key =>
[0CURTYPE].[LEVEL01].[NAME] (updated)
                                         L01 Currency Type Long Name =>
[0CURTYPE].[LEVEL01].[DESCRIPTION] (updated)
then it was working
Then i tried to reproduce from scratch and now it also works with the previous version of the class.
I do not understand anything
Is there something like a cache file of the MDX query (in RSRT, cache mode is set to inactive for the bex query) ?
ps: this is the same if a use webi under infoview (java) or webi rich client...

Error when using defined object in Universe in Web Intelligence

Hi all
I create universe connect from Infocube

<EXPRESSION>SUM(YTD(@Select(Key Figures\SS Total value of the invoice line)))</EXPRESSION>
I parse to check systax "OK".
But when I run query and using above defined object in Web Intelligence, I get error following

I check MDX PARSER connection in SM59 sucessfull
I am beginer of Universe and Web Intelligence, please help me solve this problem.
Thanks

Hi,
The MDX parser in the universe designer just check the XML Tags or Syntax. It does not validate the expression.
The YTD, QTD, MTD functions in the universe designer requires a reference to a predefined time chararcteristics eg. 0CALMONTH etc. So the correct expression would be similar to the below expression:
<EXPRESSION> SUM(YTD([0CALMONTH].CurrentMember), @Select(Key Figures\SS Total value of the invoice line))</EXPRESSION>
Also you need to add the time characteristics in the result set.

Rohit

Error when setting up connection from Universe Designer to Oracle database

Hello,
I am attempting to create a connection to an Oracle 10 database in Universe Designer. I am currently running Business Objects XI 3.1 SP3 on a 32 bit machine. I have the Oracle client installed. In Universe Designer when I attempt to create a new connection using the Oracle 10 client I receive the following error.

Hello Brock,
Do you have multiple SQL clients installed on your system? If so, uninstall the previous versions. Check if the PATH variable is set to correct bin path and then try testing it again.

What is the syntax for the mdx offset in universe designer?

Hi everybody!!!
I wish someone could help me with my mdx syntax. I made an universe with Universe designer (BOEdge 3.1) from a BW query and I'm trying to create in this universe an object with an offset.
My new object has to be the result of the [0CALYEAR].[LEVEL01] with "- 1" offset, is it possible???
I tried to put the code in the select or in the where fields of the object but without results. When I try to make a query in webi rich client this "new object" doesn't work...
Please help me...
Dario

Hi Ingo,
thank you for the reply.
I tried to use that document...the problem is when I put the code in the object (inside univ des) and I analyse the code using the button, the syntax is every time without errors. When I try to make the query in webi rich client , if I use that object the software shows a window with error.
I used these code in the "where" field:
1. <EXPRESSION>@SELECT([0CALYEAR].[LEVEL01])-1</EXPRESSION>
2. <EXPRESSION>@SELECT(Anno calendario\L01 Anno calendario)-1</EXPRESSION>
the problem is to find the right syntax for what I want...the -1 offset for the new object from the OCALYEAR. I need that if in webi I select from the object filter [0CALYEAR].[LEVEL01] the value 2010 - in the new object will be 2009 etc...
