R/3 hierarchy in attributes for a Infoobject.

Hi gurus;
Anybody knows how to convert a R/3 hierarchy in attributes for a Infoobject.
For example. We have the merchandise hierarchy in R/3 for material and we want to transform in several attributes of the 0material infoobject.
May you help me?
Thanks in advanced!!

Do you want to convert the hierarchy nodes as attributes of the info object? If so, try this:
Load the hierarchy to an ODS.
Keep the nodes as attrbutes of the info object.
From ODS load the info object.

ALso, I am curious to know why do you want to do this.

How many Attributes for an InfoObject

Hello :
I appreciate someone answer my question.
How many attributes can I create for a Master data InfoObjetc?
I have a InfoObject as a Master data who have a lot of attributes, more than 90.
What else solution Can I use ?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Angélica,
I'll assume you are asking about the BI capabilities of SAP NetWeaver. I suspect you have picked the incorrect forum to post this message. The BI area has a number of specialist forums for such posts.

Time Dependent Attributes for 0UCINSTALLA

Hello BI experts,
I have one question regardning time dependent attributes for Installation InfoObject (0UCINSTALLA) that are loaded from DSO (0UCS_DS06).
My Installation InfoObject has 3 time dependent attributes:
- ZGSP_ID
- ZPROF_CL (Profile Class)
- ZDUALFUEL (Flag for Dual Fuel installation)
EXAMPLE:
UCINSTALLA     DATEFROM     DATETO       ZGSP_ID     ZPROF_CL     ZDUALFUEL
1                        01.01.1000      31.03.2009      _A              3                        X
1                        01.04.2009      31.05.2009      _B              3                        X
1                        01.06.2009      31.12.9999      _B              3
In the DSO it is represented by following entreis:
UCINSTALLA     DATEFROM     DATETO           OPERAND      CHARVAL
1                        01.01.1000      31.03.2009      ZGSP_ID             _A
1                        01.04.2009      31.12.9999      ZGSP_ID             _B
1                        01.01.1000      31.05.2009      ZDUALFUEL         X
1                        01.06.2009      31.12.9999      ZDUALFUEL      null
1                        01.01.1000      31.12.9999      ZPROF_CL           3
The lines that contain ZGSP_ID as openard should populate ZGDS_ID field, lines with ZDUALFUEL operand populate ZDUALFUEL attribute, etc
How can I map in one transformation? I believe this has to be done in ABAP, but it would be rather difficult to manipulate dates:
- when first record is processed Start Routine has to browse for all other lines in the DSO for the same installation and split the record into 2 or more depending when other attributes are valid.
At the same time one record have to be split into multiple records (when valiity dates for three attributes don't match), and multiple records have to be merged (for intervals when all attributes are valid).
One alternative is to load these three attributes from three separate DSOs - then BI will take care of dates by itself. But this is a bit nasty solution.
Could you kindly please advise if there is any simple way of doing this logic?
Kind regards,
Roman Pikuzinski

HI,
If your data source contains dates such as start date and end date, then you can map them to 0DATEFROM and 0DATETO respectively. In that case the 0DATEFROM and 0DATETO take the values from the data source and split up.
For eg. if the start date is 05/25/2010 and end date is 12/31/2010, then now in your info provider you will have three records-
0DATEFROM 0DATETO
01/01/1900     05/24/2010
05/25/2010     12/31/2010
01/01/2011      12/31/9999
However if you do not want to map any field from the data source to these attributes then they take the system generated values - 01/01/1900 and 12/31/9999 respectively.
Hope this helps in the understanding.
Thanks,
Rahul

Updating attributes for InfoObject

I am getting below error while trying to load the master data "0MAT_PLANT" using DTP.
" There are duplicates of the data record 1 & with the key ' &' for
characteristic 0MAT_PLANT &. "
Tetted following.
1.vealidated the data in PSA, thers is no duplicate entries.
2.In the DTP monitor, I can see..
   1.Extraction DataSource 0MAT_PLANT_ATTR : Green
   2.Filter Out New Records with the Same Key : Green
   3.RSDS 0MAT_PLANT_ATTR -> IOBJ 0MAT_PLANT : Green

I was performin the data load with only one record eventhough I m agetting this error measge Duplicates entries" , your help on this greatly appericiated..
Thanks,
Raman

Hi,
Check if it is full upload from PSA, and check how many PSA request are coming when you pull the data.
Might be in other request in PSA have duplicate entries.
When you pull the data from DTP as Full it will select all the request from PSA..
Check this..

Attr changes runs for all Infoobject in a process chain

Hi,
I have a process chain for the master data ( ATTR, TEXT and HIER),I want a Hierarchy/attribute change run like a last process in my chain and actives all the InfoObject and Hierarchy.
How can I carry out the structural changes for all InfoObject in a process chain?
Thanks!

yes but it requests me a variant. then a layout "execute infopackage", then the attr change doesn´t have Object.
I don´t know what I do?
This process actives all my ATTR and HIER in my chain???

Splitting Dimensions on Attributes for reporting

Does anyone have experience or a good idea on how to most efficiently allow splitting a dimension on attributes for reporting custom cells. We are working in 11G. First let me explain
We have a dimension Brand that has a level based hierarchy.
Total
Category
Brand
Item
The Item level has many attributes, of course it has Category and Brand but it also has other Attributes that apply only to the Item level, we will say Flavor and Size for example. The user might want to see a report with Flavors on Columns and Size on rows, or Flavor on columns and Categories on rows.
We have come up with 4 ways to do this, 3 on the fly and 1 predefined.
1. We use the BRAND_VIEW view to limit to the chosen attributes and the Item level then join to the CUBE_VIEW and sum BRAND. This only works for measures with all SUM additively
2. Use the Java API and Source objects to limit BRAND to the ITEMS that meet our criteria, create a custom member in brand and report on it. This gets around the additively problem but is currently not an option til Oracle patches the 11G API to allow session only member creation.
3. Write a DML program to limit the BRANDS and then report on the TOTAL. Again this only works for SUM.
4. For the above example we would build 3 dimensions for BRAND instead of 1. We would build the BRAND dimension as defined and a FLAVOR and SIZE dimension. This increased the size of the build and fact data, also greatly increases the build time. Also this forces the User to see many more dimensions then they are use to seeing.
If anyone has dealt with an issue like this I would greatly appreciate hearing how you handled it.

Clyde, how are you sir? I was curious on this too - so I took a look into it. Seems that the as long as the attributes are marked navigational they come along into the BIA indexes. See excerpt and link below.
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/43/bcf9bfdd052ec5e10000000a11466f/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/43/bcf9bfdd052ec5e10000000a11466f/content.htm]
Step 1: Creating a BI accelerator index
When you execute this step, the system creates the indexes for the tables of the InfoCube star schema on the BI accelerator server, as long as they have not already been created by other BI accelerator indexes. These tables consist of the fact and dimension tables of the InfoCube as well as the master data tables that contain the required SIDs, the S, X, and Y tables of the InfoObjects
X = time independent navigational attributes and Y = time dependent navigational attributes, so it looks like these are stored too.
Hope this helps!

Need help for finding objects impacted by size change for an infoobject

hi all,
need help for finding objects impacted by size change
for xxx infoobject, due to some requirements, the size to be changed from
char(4) to char(10), in the source database tables as well as adjustment
to be done in BI side.
this infoobject xxx is nav attribute of YYY as well as for WWW
infoobjects. and xxx is loaded from infopkg for www infoobject load.
now that i have to prepare an impact analysis doc for BI side.
pls help me with what all could be impacted and what to be done as a
solution to implement the size change.
FYI:
where used list for xxx infoobject - relveals these object types :
infocubes,
infosources,
tranfer rules,
DSO.
attribute of characteristic,
nav attribute,
ref infoobject,
in queries,
in variables

Hi Swetha,
You will have to manually make the table adjustments in all the systems using SE14 trans since the changes done using SE14 cannot be collected in any TR.
How to adjust tables :
Enter the table name in SE14. For ex for any Z master data(Say ZABCD), master data table name would be /BIC/PZABCD, text table would be /BIC/TZABCD. Similarly any DSO(say ZXYZ) table name would be /BIC/AZXYZ00 etc.
Just enter the table name in SE14 trans --> Edit --> Select the radio button "Save Data" --> Click on Activate & adjust database table.
NOTE : Be very careful in using SE14 trans since there is possibility that the backend table could be deleted.
How to collect the changes in TR:
You can collect only the changes made to the IO --> When you activate, it will ask you for the TR --> Enter the correct package name & create a new TR. If it doesn't prompt you for TR, just goto Extras --> Write transport request from the IO properties Menu screen. Once these IO changes are moved successfully, then the above proceduce can be followed using SE14 trans.
Hope it helps!

Navigational attribute Vs normal infoobject in Query

Hi
I have some infoobjects named ..1)ITEM....2)STATUS....3)SALES etc in cubes...
I have to design a query showing this data...the report should show Item Status also...I can use normal infoobject STATUS from infocube in report to show Item Status....I have one more possibilitySTATUS is added as navigational attribute of infoobject ITEM..So I can use this navigational attribute also..which one should I use normal infoobject STATUS or navigational attribute STATUS of infoobject ITEM to show item status in report?how to decide on this?
Thanks for your guidance.

Hi Hayward,
Status as direct Object
When you use Status as an object added in cube you get the data of the day the cube was loaded. Let say for example your cube is loaded weekely on sundays, so the field status will give status as on sunday, even when it is run on other subsequent days of the week. So as correctly pointed in above posts values you get in status are not real time but historical.
Status as Navigational Attr of Item
When you use Status as Navigational attribute of Item then you get current data because in almost all cases Master Data Objects are loaded on daily basis and thus it picks the latetst Status of Items.
In case your cube is loaded daily then it won't make much difference that whether you are using it as a standalone object or as navigational attribute of Item.
Hope it helped

Document attribute ticked on InfoObject which is nav attribute

Hi SDN Community,
We have recently enhanced a query, by removing a natural characteristic Cost Centre Category ZCOBCAT that exists in an infocube, and replaced this with a characteristic which is a navigational attribute - CC Func Code ZCCFUNCCD.
eg. characteristic value with was CC11 is now 11 with this change
On both these characteristics, in the infoObject properties, the "Document attribute" checkbox is ticked.
However, we find that when storing commentary functionality, the comments are applicable against the whole infoObject ZCCFUNCCD. Eg. If the variable input parameters are 11, the comments, are retrieved against 11, and every other value against the ZCCFUNCCD characteristic.
Is it such that navigable attributes enabled against multiproviders will not allow the "Document attribute" against the infoobject to work?
Or is it such i have to enable some other parameter against the Multiprovider or infocube that i have overlooked.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Simon

Hi Karthik, Gattu,
Thank you both for your answers.
As you have indicated, i have verified this:
1) the "Attribute Only" in the Miscallaneous area in the General tab of the infoObject is unticked
2) the "Characteristic is a document attribu" in the Miscallaneous area in the General tab of the infoObject is TICKED as this is what allows storing of documents against the infoObject, and is ticked in the original InfoObject. Are we saying here this should be unticked?
3) ZCCFUNCCD is flagged as a Navigational Attribute in all InfoProviders
4) I have also verified that the Multiprovider has all the assignment correctly ticked for the ZCCFUNCCD is ticked for all the InfoProviders.
What i do find different, is that if i look at 0COSTCENTER, then the attribute ZCCFUNCCD, has a check in the column "Texts of Char." But this should not be causing any issue as this is only using the same description for the Navigational Attribute Display in the queries.
Any other suggestions would be most helpful thanks.
Simon

Issue when using Navigation attributes for filtering in BEX

Hello,
We are encountering an issue when applying filter on Navigation attributes in BEx query built on top of a BW HANA Virtual Provider.
The interface is as below :
HANA Calculation View -> SAP BW 7.4 Virtual InfoCube -> Multiprovider -> BEx Query.
We have directly mapped the base Infoobject from HANA View to BW Virtual Provider and using this in BEx query free characteristics. We also have used the navigational attribute of this Infoobject in our Report variable screen as well as an Auth relevant object.
Eg if ZMATERIAL is the base infoobject and ZMATERIAL__ZXYZ navigational attribute is used in the report variable screen and as Authorization variable.
This is causing the query to fail.
The query also fails if I apply any filter values on any Navigational attribute with error message :
"Termination message sent ERROR DBMAN (305): Error reading the data of InfoProvider"
Using the navigational attribute with authorization variable fails with below :
"Termination message sent ERROR DBMAN (099): Invalid query;Failed to find attribute ZMATERIAL__ZXYZ [...]"
Appreciate any inputs on this issue and how this can be fixed.
Thanks,
Tintu

Hi Andrey,
Thank you for your input.
Based on the OSS note , it says to import BW7.4 SP7. We are already on BW7.4 SP7
We get error "Termination message sent ERROR DBMAN (099): Invalid query;Failed to find attribute
ZMATERIAL__ZXYZ" whenever we try to apply filters on any of the navigational attribute.
Thanks,
Tintu

SAP BW 7.3: RSTRAN018 after adding attribute to an infoobject

Hello,
i added an attribute to an infoobject and tried to activate this. In the log messages i received the message RSTRAN018 "Generation status of transformation XY will be reset".
I never got this message in SAP BW 7.0. Is this just a kind of information (new in Release BW 7.3) which can be ignored or does it has an impact on the transformation in which the infoobject ist used (e.g. inactivation of the transformation)?
In general the adding of an attribute to an infoobject shouldn't affect the transformations in which the infoobject is used.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Andreas

Hello,
You are correct this text is added to BW 7.30 (onwards I guess). The message is purely for Information purposes and the transformation should not be deactivated and will remain active/usable. This was confimed by SAP dev.

I even checked in the Keyfigure,, whether anything can be done,, i even un-checked Attribute only tab in that,,
Just wanted to know, is it possible to make it as Nav.Attr.
Ill assign points for sure,,
