Problem with lowercase characteristics

Hi all,
I have a problem where I am updating ODS with a characteristics which is not set for lowercase (i.e. the infoobject has no lower case check mark) with lowercase data and its working fine but when I update that data to a datamart ODS its giving SID generation problem for lowercase during ODS activation.
Is there any ODS level attribute to check for lowercase?
Regards

Hi,
You have no chances to bring into a cube or into an ODS (if it is marked as relevant for BEx queries) infoobjects with lowercase letters. Note that here by infoobject I mean its key field (as it determined in infoobject maintenance). For example, the IO has type CHAR and length 10. It means that you can bring into a cube/ODS the IOs key field (value) like QWERTYUIOP. You cannot bring there (under conditions I specified earlier) the value like Qwertyuiop. It is not allowed. And you MUST convert this lowercase containing value into upper case, for example, as I mentioned before.
But, if you need these lowercase texts, you can keep them in texts of the infoobject. Set the key field as, for example, NUMBER:
Key field LongText
1        Qwertyuiop
2          Asdfghjklz
3          Zxcvbnmgf
and load into a cube/ODS just these key fields (1,2,3 etc.). In a query you may show long text of the infoobject.
In case if your infoobject (its key field) is not used in the cubes or ODSs (with BEx reporting) you may check in IOs properties Lowercase letters option. It will allow you to have lowercase letters in the KEY FIELD OF THE INFOOBJECT.
Hope, now its more clear.
Best regards,
Eugene

Problems with time characteristics after migration to BI 7.0

Hi,
Our company migrated from BW 3.1 to BI 7.0 Netweaver 2004s recently.
After the migration we have problems with various time characteristics like 0CALMONTH, 0CALQUARTER, etc. in the Query Designer.
In the old BW3.1 Query Designer version we could choose at the properties of an time characteristic to display Key, Key and Text, Text and so on. After the migration to BI 7.0 we now can only choose Key.
The InfoObject definion of the time Characteristics in RSD1 is the same in the old version and in the new version.
I am very grateful vor every hint how i can show again the other display options in the properties, so that our powerusers can build their queries in the way they are use too.
Thanks

Hi Pom,
thanks for your answer, but we are on FEP 10 already.
So must be something else.

Problem with lowercase when saving in custom SAP table.

Hi Gurus,
I have a problem in saving entries in a custom table in SAP.
When I enter a name with combinations of upper and lower case in SE16, when saving, my entries were all converted into uppercase. That goes as well in passwords. That's my concern, how can I check passwords if combinations were disregarded?
My parameter fields for these were just type CHAR.
Is there a way I can save data as how they were entered?
Thank you in advance for your responses Gurus...

Hi,
Check the Domain of the field and select Lower case check box if it is a Zdomain or else create the new domain or check for one like this.For example..
Table PA0002 which has a field NACHN and Data element assigned to it is PAD_NACHN...double click on the Data element and now again double click on the Domain and now Under Ouput Characteristics check the Lower Case check.
And now database get's saved with what ever case you entered

Mapping problems with custom characteristics in CCM

Hello,
We are on SRM5.0 CCM2.0 and I have created three custom characteristics with related OCI fields. These characteristics have been uploaded in the catalogs and mapped on schema level in supplier catalog and procurement catalog. When uplaoding items into the supplier catalogs the values of the characteristics drop their value during automatic mapping to the master catalog and procurement catalog which means that the fields are also empy during import into SRM. The fields are NOT empty in the suppleir catalog.
Can anybody help me on this one ?

Hi Antoinette,
I have experienced the same. I created a custom characterisitic and uploaded it in the schema of the supplier catalog, master and procurement catalogue. However, once uploading the supplier catalogue the information of the custom characteristic was not mapped.
In order to solve it I mapped the full schema from the supplier to the master and from to the master to the procurement. That is to say, I mapped from the begginig the schema not only the categories but also the content. Then it worked
The characteristics are created at the schema level and consequently, unless you map (categories and content) the supplier catalogue from the very top of the schema or the information is not transmitted.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards.

Problem with Overwrite for Key Figures in ODS

A bit of a long explanation, but the problem is not so complicated...
We have an ODS containing contract line items. Each line item has a key figure "Total Contract Target" that is marked with update type "overwrite". We have modified the extractor that delivers data for this ODS so that the key figure is set to a value from the contract header. Since we don't want the key figure to be duplicated if there are multiple line items on the contract, the user exit for the extractor modifies only the first line item delivered.
For example, overall contract target value = 100. Contract has 3 line items. Contract target value for line item 1 is 100. Target value for line item 2 and 3 is 0.
This all works fine for initial loads, but there is a problem with the business content extractor for deltas. Whenever a single change is made, it delivers three sets of records. Continuing the example, we would receive 9 records for the contract (3 sets of 3 line items). Each of the three sets contains the same records. Only the first set has the correct contract target value. Since the ODS key figure is set to overwrite, our method of setting the total contract value in the first record doesn't work, because the extractor delivers duplicates so the duplicates overwrite the total with a 0.
Would setting the key figure for total contract value to update type "additive" solve this? (I'm concerned that additions would be made if there were only a change to characteristics and not the key figure). Thanks for your assistance.

Since we ought to post solutions to problems we discover for people who search this forum...
Solved this by modifying the customer exit for the extractor to set the key figure for the first contract line item encountered AND for all subsequent records with the same contract number / contract line item. Since the key figure in the ODS is set to overwrite, this makes sure that the last record written doesn't overwrite the key figure with 0.

Creating a ODS key with 32 characteristics in BW 3.5

All,
We have to create a ODS key with 32 characteristics in BW 3.5. We are using an after image type delta capable extrator 0FI_GL_10. We have to do delta loads every 2 hours.
As you all know ODS allows only 16 key fields. In order to allow 32 keys, I have created an artificial key with 17 fields concatinating into one in the transfer rules.
The problem is still the data is not coming correctly (some records are still getting overwritten even with then new key) with the delta init load and the interesting thing is that the full load into the ODS is getting the data right.
In other words, a delta init load is getting 95680 records and where as full load is getting 99680 records.
Have anybody come accross such situation and what would be helpful to solve this issue?
Thanks,
- Shashi

I assume your CHAR 60 is enough to hold all the fields that you are concatenating.
Other problem with concatenate is that it strips the leading and trailing blanks.
So let us say you have two fields F1 (char 5) and F2 (char 3)
F1_________F2
A1_________03
A10________3
A12________22
Now, follow what happens with concatenate F1 and F2. Row 1 will result in value 'A103', row 2 will also result in 'A103' and row 3 would be 'A1222'.
So, even though combination of F1 and F2 was unique in these three rows, after concatenate we get only two unique values.
This is one possible explanation. The oher ofcourse is if total length of 17 fields is more than the 60bytes you have in key field.
To avoid this move your values with exact length (in the example above it will then be like)
Key(5) = F1.
Key+5(3) = F2.

Condition for Top 10 no longer working with 2 Characteristics

Hi experts, we have a query within a workbook with a condition set on 2 characteristics to show the top ten. When we refresh this now it shows incorrect results as it unticks one of the characteristics in the condition. We then have to go back to the condition set up and tick the one it unticked and it refreshes okay. We don't want to have to do this each time. (This worked for us prior to applying patches. We are on Patch 18, Bex Analyzer BI Add-On 7.X based on 7.10, Support package 7, patch 1 version 1352.)
We can't find any SAP Note to correct this?
Any help you can offer would be great.
Thanks.

Hi,
I too have faced problem with conditions.As a thumb rule if i apply(assaign) the condition for the last characteristics in the tab rows (or last charactristic added in rows) giving fine results.
Try to apply and check it may work....

Audio-Problem with Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 by using long Clips in AVC-Intra Codec (4Gb Border)

Hello
We own a Panasonic camera (AJ-PX5000G) and we film in 1080p50 with the AVC-Intra100 Codec. When importing longer clips in Premiere Pro, the video is fully loaded, but the waveform of the sound ends at the Time Code 00:02:28:35.
Sometimes the sound could be played after this Timecode but otherwise there is no audio. Even if we use the same clip several times we see that it works sometimes and sometimes not. It looks random.
We also tried to import the Clips with Adobe Prelude directly from the P2-Card but there are the same problems.
The Clips in 1080p50 AVC-Intra100 have a bitrate of 227Mbps. After 2 Minutes and 28 Seconds 4Gb are written on the P2-Card and the Camera starts a new picture file and 4 sound files..
It looks like Adobe Premiere Pro has problems with the correct relation of the files that all get together to one clip.
Is there anybody who can confirm this problem? Can anybody help me with this Premiere Problem?

Problem with document splitting

Hi,
I am encountering a problem with document splitting, where in while doing clearing of down payment against miro invoice profit center of first line item is over ridding profit center of second line item (line items are two different materials in purchase order).

Hi Milind,
Thanks for the reply.
I've done the below configuration and assigned cost/profit center update. It now works for profit center split. It still does not split accordingly per cost center though.
SAP Customizing Implementation Guide > Financial Accounting (New) > Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) > Ledgers >Ledger > Assign Scenarios and Customer Fields to Ledgers
In the below configuration, cost center is not an available option. Unlike the profit center which is available here.
SAP Customizing Implementation Guide > Financial Accounting (New) > General Ledger Accounting (New) > Business Transactions > Document Splitting > Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting
The profit center split looks fine now, however the cost center split still is only reflected in the expense items and not on the AP item.
Any ideas on how to actually split the AP line items according to the cost center assignments ?

Problems with a thread that records dvd on suse linux

PLEASE HELP
I am using SuSE linux, and I record dvd+/- RW with the program growisofs.
By command line on the linux shell, growisofs records normally, but when I try to use the same line cone that I use in the shell in a java thread, it never stops recording, I mean, it records all data, but it apparently does not close the dvd session, for the grenn light on the drive never stops blinking, and I have to stop the proccess manually, because it never releases the dvd drive.
I use the thread in a large program, but for debugging this I have made a simple program, whose error is the same.
the code is:
        String s = "/usr/local/bin/growisofs -speed=1 -M /dev/dvdram -V MIS27 -A growisofs -P MedImServer " +
           " -p MedImServer -sysid Linux -J -R -l -relaxed-filenames -allow-lowercase -allow-multidot /windows/C/online";
       Process p;
            try {
                p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(s);
                p.waitFor();
            catch (IOException ex) {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"erro no runtime");
                System.exit(0);
            catch (InterruptedException ex1) {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"erro no waitfor");
                System.exit(0);
            }with JBuilder 9 debug, I realized that it freezes at the moment of "p.waitFor()".
I thought that it was a problem with the recording software, but it is not: the same command line that I use in the program I have used in the Linux shell and it recorded perfectly. The program does not require any user interaction but the command line I wrote before. The problem with the Java program is that it records all data, but never returns from the process. It's not a problem with the software, for it records perfectly when it's not called within the Java program, so I imagine that it is some funny thing in either the Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...) or the p.wait().
Better yet:
Is there a way to record dvds with a java command instead with an exteranal program?
This would be the heaven...
IF it is possible, do it require some sun package?

I tried to execute it, and it indeed doesn't freeze, but it doesn't record a thing either...
now it doesn't even wait for the thread, which is VERY weird: it does not record a thing!!! It just passes by the line 'p.waitFor()'...
Any sugestion?
By the way, thanks for helping me...

BI 7 Upgrade - Problem with Authorisation Variable on Compounded Char

Dear All,
We have just upgraded our DEV environment from 3.5 to BI7 and have encountered a weird problem with 1 of our authorization variables.
Our authorization check variable checks the values from a table that the users are allowed to use (which includes the selection screen). There are 2 variables 1 for the uncompounded char and 1 for the compounded char, the uncompounded variable is working just fine but not the other. When the user tries to pick a value, they are presented with not just their restricted list but ALL the values.
Can anyone explain this? Has BI 7 changes the way authorizations work with Compounded Characteristics ?
Before anyone asks, these variables work just fine on 3.5 and are working just fine in our QA and PRD environments.
Help required urgently.
Thanks
Craig

Hi,
Yes authorisations in BI 7.0 are a bit different from the ones in BW 3.5. Here is the link which will help you know every thing in BI 7.0

Custom InfoObject for date, problem with offset

Hi all,
I have a BEx reports presenting 0CALWEEK and another IO I created for dates.
This IO has the same properties as 0CALWEEK (but it was not created as a reference of 0CALWEEK).
In my report I'd like to use offsets for both IO's.
It works perfectly for 0CALWEEK, but it doesn't work at all for the other IO. Actually, only the first offset is shown. For all others weeks, I get "#".
Additionally, I made some calculations based on the week difference (using formula variables). Of course, every time a "#" appears, the calculation cannot be done (otherwise it works like it should).
Could anybody help me out with this?
Thanks in advance

Hi Jagadeesh,
did I understand you correctly that:
1) offsets only work with standard characteristics? (this seems really weird to me...)
2) if I want to use offsets with with Z_* characteristic, I will need ABAP?
The problem is that I don't know anything about ABAP.
Do you know any "typical" code to use to resolve this type of problem?
Where do I have to use this code: in the query, in the IO, in a start routine somewhere?
Thanks

Problems with Performance in table AUSP - R/3

Hello, I am working with the set of tables (Klah, KSSK, KSML, AUSP, CABN in SAP R3) and generate reports with Crystal Reports 2008. The problem arises when displaying the data in Table AUSP, since the characteristics (Attin) are listed as records and I must show them grouped by the field AUSP.OBJEK as columns (see how in the transaction CL30N).
I probe with infoset, query / infoset and related tables in Crystal Reports but the performance is very bad.
Anybody know of a function standard similar to CL30N or I have only programmed in ABAP?

Hi Ruven,
so you are able to log on to the portal from Windows via SSO. When you access the backend from the portal it is not working, right?
What kind of iView are you using to access the backend? Can you try with a simple Windows-SAPGui-iView? Is it working then? If you are using some web-based application to access the backend there might be a problem with different domains so that the SAPLogon Ticket is not passed along (both the URL of the portal and the URL of the backend have to be in the same domain -- of course there are way to enable SSO to different domains, but let's start with this simple case)
I would still recomend to use the Note mentioned above to trace what is actually sent to the backend (I don't think that the dataSourceConfiguration file you are using has anything to do with SSO not working from the portal to the backend).
Regards,
Holger.

Problems with Times Std Font

I recently purchased the adobe Times Std font (roman, italic, bold, bold italic) and the bold italic lowercase "s" character does not print correctly from Word or Preview (see attached images -- one correct and one not). It will only print correctly from Adobe Acrobat, but that isn't a solution since I do most of my printing from Word. I'm thinking it's a problem with the font file...
Thank you.

No, we worked hard to get everyone on the same page when we rolled OTFs out. The whole point is that one file is cross-platform; it's the same exact file with the same exact outlines. I tried it on my 10.9.1 setup and it was fine in Word and preview. I thought maybe it was the system Times (/System/Library/Fonts) but the one on my system seems fine, too. This is puzzling. From the image you posted, it looks like the entire lc s outline is wonky, not just that lower left corner. If you've checked FontBook to see that you don't have any duplicates lying around, check the version on the file - it should be 2.125. You could also try clearing your font caches; open a Terminal window and type 'sudo atsutil databases -remove' and then Return/Enter and then reboot your Mac.
