Question: EPMContextmember Function shows description instead of ID?

Hello,
I try to use EPMcontextmember function to make user click to select the Entity member, but I got a question here: epmmembercontext only shows the member ID, NOT the description. Is there any any solution to make EPMcontextmember can display the description instead of member ID?
Thanks in advance
Jerry

Hi Jerry,
Once you double click on context member function , in Member Selector - > click "Select Member Name to Display" -> Description

How to show description instead of code on a view page?

I'm new so this is probably basic, but I didn't find an answer when I tried searching.
I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3, ADF Business Components, ADF Faces.
In my application, I have both view pages and edit pages (some users will only have read access). Many of the fields will be populated from LOV and the code will be stored in the database.
The edit page is no problem - I have read-only VO for the LOV and I use af:selectOneChoice and display the description. But how do I display the same description on the view page? By defaiult the code is displayed when the entity based VO is dropped as a ADF Read Only Form.
I assume I need to do something in the BC, but I'm not sure how to get values from read-only VO into my entity based VO. Or do I have to make all my VO for LOVs entity based even though they will never be edited? Or is there something I can do in the view to get the description instead of the code?
Thank you for your help.

So if I understand you properly, I need to create EOs for all my list of values (which are based on views of Oracle apps tables) and base my VO on those EOs. And then I setup associations between these EOs and the Item EO. Then I include the these EOs in my Items VO and add the description attributes to my list of attributes. I had done this for the list of users, but for the views of Oracle I had just created read only VO. Sounds like that won't work if I want to display the description. I know what to do - I guess I was hoping there was a way to use the read only VO.
Thanks

How do i show descriptions instead of dimension values at presentations ?

We are facing a problem that could be a BIBeans problem or could be an OLAP problem, please inform if to change forum:
We are using jdev 903/BIB903 accessing an AW created at Oracle OLAP 9205 with AWM.
All our dimensions were created at OWB 10g and deployed to RDBMS following the general rules below:
DIM X
ID_X - sequence primary key
CD_X - original key from source systems
DS_X, NM_X, and so on - description fields and hierarchy fields related to this record.
i.e.:
SQL> desc dim_rota
Name Null? Type
ID_ROTA NOT NULL NUMBER(6)
CD_EMPRESA NOT NULL NUMBER(2)
CD_FILIAL NOT NULL NUMBER(2)
CD_ROTA NOT NULL VARCHAR2(3)
NM_FILIAL NOT NULL VARCHAR2(40)
NM_ROTA NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
CD_SETOR NOT NULL VARCHAR2(1)
ID_SETOR NOT NULL NUMBER(6)
NM_SETOR NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
this dimension has 1 hierarchy with 2 levels called SETOR and ROTA.
when we generated the AW using AWM, each field (except ID) is created as a variable dimensioned by DIM_ROTA, as shown below:
->listby dim_rota
35 objects dimensioned by or related to DIM_ROTA in analytic workspace AW1
DIM_ROTA_CD_EMPRESA
DIM_ROTA_CD_FILIAL
DIM_ROTA_CD_ROTA
DIM_ROTA_CD_SETOR
DIM_ROTA_CREATEDBY
DIM_ROTA_FAMILYREL
DIM_ROTA_GID
DIM_ROTA_INHIER
DIM_ROTA_LEVELCOLMAP
DIM_ROTA_LEVELREL
DIM_ROTA_NM_FILIAL
DIM_ROTA_NM_ROTA
DIM_ROTA_NM_SETOR
DIM_ROTA_ORDER
DIM_ROTA_PARENTREL
ID field was concatenated with level name to generate the dimension value - so, for the following relational record:
SQL> select id_rota, cd_rota, nm_rota from dim_rota where ID_ROTA = 233;
ID_ROTA CD_ROTA NM_ROTA
233 A99 A99-Consig. Sup. Setor A
we have at multidimensional side:
->LIMIT DIM_ROTA TO 'ROTA.233'
->rpr dim_rota
DIM_ROTA
ROTA.233
->dsc dim_rota_nm_rota
DEFINE DIM_ROTA_NM_ROTA VARIABLE TEXT <DIM_ROTA DIM_ROTA_HIERLIST ALL_LANGUAGES>
LD IMPLEMENTATION NM_ROTA Attribute for DIM_ROTA Dimension
->rpr down dim_rota w 30 dim_rota_nm_rota
ALL_LANGUAGES: AMERICAN_AMERICA
-------DIM_ROTA_NM_ROTA-------
------DIM_ROTA_HIERLIST-------
DIM_ROTA ROTA
ROTA.233 A99-Consig. Sup. Setor A
here comes our question: how do we show at BIBeans designer/presentations the related descriptive fields and NOT the dimension values themselves?
thanks in advance,
Flavio

There a re two additional attributes that need to be mapped within OWB for each dimension:
Long Description - this is used by the presentation beans and query and calc builder to replace the dimension values with more meaningful/end-user friendly descriptions
Short Descriptions - this can be used where the long description is too long for display purposes. In BI Beans 10g Release 2 (due out soon) you will be able to select between long/short descriptions when using many of the new tags.
These new attributes will be automatically picked up by the OLAP Bridge in OWB and automatically added to the OLAP catalog.
Hope this helps

Showing description and not key when using check tables in Web UI

Hi,
I have added an field using EEWB to Opportunity Item, and connected it to check table CRMC_CUSTGRP1. It shows fine, and we can select from the check table using the web ui.
However it shows the key column and not description column from the table. Is there a way to make the web ui show description instead of the key?
Regards
Mattias

Hi,
I debugged GET_V_S_STRUCT, and it tries calling
ME->VIEW_DESCRIPTOR->GET_FIELD_GEN_VALUEHELP_DL
ME-VIEW_DESCRIPTOR is an instance of class CL_BSP_DLC_VIEW_DESCRIPTION, which does not contain the method GET_FIELD_GEN_VALUEHELP_DL, and obviously it throws an CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_METHOD exception, which leaves the value table empty.
Do you have any idea why, or have I missed something fundamental?
Regards
Mattias

Calendar list function shows only events for date selected....instead of events for date selected and events forward from that date. Is there a setting change needed? Help!

Hi,
Did you check that your universe object referring "Date of Completion" has Date data type?
Can you also provide the BOE verson you are using?
I remembered that the calendars were not displayed in XIR2 version.

Goods receipt subtotal is showing zero instead sum of quantity..!

Hi Guys,
1. Goods movement subtotal showing 0 instead of the total of the quantity.
The check throwing the following error message.
Update control of movement type is incorrect (entry 122 X X)
Message no. M7226
2. Purchase order data tab not showing item details for variance items but showing the message
"This item has not been ordered." But the PO items are ordered and present in the PO.
Please find the screen shots.
Thanks
Sam

Hi Sam,
Kindly Check table T156SC entries there is a entry missing in the table.
And if required so kindly Maintain the missing entries in table.
If entries of movement type 101 are prefect then
Goto Transaction -- SE37 ,
Function module -- MB_CONTROL_MOVETYPE_GET_SINGLE
Kindly do Set a break point to select statement which is failing at the table above at both the systems.You should be able to crack the error.
Hope this will help you to solve the issue.
And if not Kindly let us know.
Thanks & Regards

Can someone tell me how to set my name so when I send a text it shows up instead of my phone number

Can someone tell me how to set my name so when I send a text it shows up instead of my phone number

You can't do that. Only the sending number is transmitted by the carrier with an SMS message. If the recipient has you in their address book, with most smart phones and some others, the name will display, but that's a function of the phone on the receiving end.

How to show Descriptions of Query on a Web template(statistics)

hi I have created a custom Query which shows data for certain queries running, but the data keeps on showing me technical name of the queries, I want my report to show description so it makes sense to my manager as they donu2019t understand technical names of the queries. I have tried changing them to text, key etc they wont work.
Query is 7.0 web template is 7.0

Amer,
Actually, the way I read these notes, showing the technical name on the query selection screen is the problem (a.k.a., "symptom") that is being addressed, so I am assuming that the "fix" they are implementing is to show the description instead.
Just trying to help...

Error in EPMContextMember function output

Hi all,
I am getting an unexpected behavior for the EPMContextMember function for only one Dimension Member.
When the function is called with the context name parameter = FALSE or missing inside a report for a particular member, instead of getting the only the context value for this dimension I get the string that includes the dimension name (ZD_CONT_AREA:0100 in my case) - this is exactly the opposite from the expected behavior. I get only the context member value only when I call it with parameter TRUE (as shown in the cell below the selected one in the picture). The data is taken from BW and nothing looks suspicious about this member (we repeatedly cleared the data in BPC and uploaded it back). The function runs perfectly for other members. I attach a print screen for clarification.
The main problem is not only the behavior of this function but the implication it has when being used in other areas (our main problem is setting a dynamic filter on another dimension property that is based on the context selection of the ZD_CONT_AREA dimension, and an assumption would be that this function abnormal behavior could be the reason for it).
Any hint is appreciated.
Thank you,
Ioana

Thanks, it did work!
Is it generally required to have unique member IDs per model (unique IDs in different dimensions)?
Kind regards,
Ioana

How to search show descriptions in Podcasts

Most podcasts provide a show description accessible by right clicking the show. My question is how to search these descriptions by keyword. Is this possible? If so how?
Thanks!

iTunes will search the Description if you turn that column on in your current view. Right-click on the column headings, then select "Description" to mark it with a check.

Combobox doesn't show description

I have a combobox with properly added values. If the combobox shows its list of valid values everything looks ok; I can see the value followed by the description.
However, if I select a value and the dropdownlist closes, only the value is shown, not the description.
How do I solve this to let the box show the description?

Hello Mott,
to see the description instead of the index please use the following line of code:
oCombo.DisplayDesc = True

Danny Phantom Information (Show Description)

I'm referring to the information field here ("i" button or "Show Description") NOT the description field that can be found under the "Video" tab in "Get Info."
Not a major issue but I found the information for Episode 2 and Episode 3 of Danny Phantom to be incorrect.
The information for Ep2 has been placed for Ep3 and vice-versa.
Is there any way to correct (edit) this information?
