Read Navigational Attribute from Mulitprovider

Hi Gurus,
I need to read a navigational attribute from the Multiprovider in the user exit. Could you please tell me in detail with coding how to do this ?

Hi,
Navigation attributes data exists in master data and not in multiprovider. If you want to use navigation attribute value in EXIT then check which is the base Infoobject and read the Infoobject table, from there you can read the value of required attribute.

Create Navigational attribute from R/3

Hi All,
I have got requirement for one cube...
"Create Navigation attribute from R/3 CCIHT_IA-DAT as Year, Month and YYMM with selection variable, range, optional"
What does that mean ? how to create attribute from R/3 ?
can anyone give me the steps ?

Looks like this is a generic datasource (Z* object). Look at definition of the datasource in RSO2 and see how the data is extracted. If the extract structure is built of a VIEW, then check if the view has the required table that has CRDAT???
If yes, then add CRDAT as a field to the datasource, unhide it and start the extraction. Else add this table to the view, define proper join conditions (if possible) and then include CRDAT in the extract structure. Once this is done, map CRDAT to a corresponding field in BW (0calday or Zcalday) in the transfer structure of the infosource. Hope this helps.

Using UME to read binary attribute from LDAP (objectSID)

Hi,
I am trying to read the ObjectSID of an LDAP user (from MS Active directory) from an IUser object. This attribute is binary retrieved from the LDAP and if I defined a normal extra attribute in the datasourceconfiguration file and retrieve it as a String the value is wrong.
So my question is how can I define this as a binary attribute?
From the file C:\usr\sap\EWD\JC00\j2ee\configtool\dataSourceConfiguration.dtd you get the specification of the xml format for the datasourceconfiguration.
The Attribute element has the following specification:
<!ATTLIST attribute name CDATA #REQUIRED          populateInitially (true|false) #IMPLIED
readonly (true|false) #IMPLIED
type (string|blob) #IMPLIED
cacheTime CDATA #IMPLIED>
Since you have type here, I tried setting it to blob under the user object as such:
For user:
<attribute name="guid" type="blob" populateInitially="true"/>
For attribute mapping:
<attribute name="guid">
<physicalAttribute name="objectSid"/>                    </attribute>
However, I still get the following error when calling
iuser.getBinaryAttribute(UME_NAMESPACE,UME_GUID_NAME ):
Caused by: com.sap.security.api.UMRuntimeException: String attribute "com.sap.security.core.usermanagement"-->"guid" must be read using IPrincipal.getAttribute(com.sap.security.core.usermanagement,guid)

     at com.sap.engine.services.security.login.ModulesProcessAction.run(ModulesProcessAction.java:69)
     ... 41 more
This error indicates that the attributes is a string and not a binary attribute.
Anyone?

Create OSS and initial message is that this is not supported eventhough some of the configuration files point that direction. It's really easy to implement so maybe if I am lucky I'll get a hotfix.

btw the field was objectGUID not objectSID

Reading UME attributes from Webdynpro ABAP code

Hi,
We have a requirement in our project where we need to read the UME attributes for a logged in user in the webdynpro ABAP code. The attribute in question is "SAP Vendor Number" which is maintained as UME attribute for each user.
Is there any standard FM or BAPI or webservice which we can leverage for this requirement?
Else, any pointers regarding how to achieve this functionality would be helpful.
Thanks.

Hi kartik,
BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL Function module to get all the required details of the system user in one go. Here you need to give the SAP Logon Name (USerID) of the person to the function module.
Or check if this are helpful.

Read XML attributes from RSS internet link

I am very new to LabVIEW, and I am trying to determine the best way to read information an RSS link. Specfically, I would like to read data from a Yahoo! Weather RSS like http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=2502265. I would like to extract the temperature from <yweather: condition temp="[##]>, the wind speed from <yweather:wind speed="[##]">, and the text description from <yweather:condition text="[text]".
I have looked into some XML parsing solutions like EasyXML, but I wonder if they are too much for what may be a simple task. I would appreciate any input on my current problem. Thanks.

Howdy,
It looks like EasyXML would make you life a little easier. You can search the LabVIEW Example Finder (Help menu->Find Examples) for XML examples. Other than that you would have to navigate to the website and parse the website source and use the LabVIW String Functions.

Virtual infoprovider with services - Navigational attributes

Hi all,
I have a basic cube in BI system- X , and created a virtual cube in another BI system Y with services to read data from basic cube of BI system X . In BI system Y we built a report on virtual cube. This report (on virtual cube in BI system Y) is using a characteristics say Product group ( which is a navigational attributes of prodect in BI system X).
DataFlow is as under:
Basic cube in BI system X:
Product
Year
Amount
and Product group is switched on as navigational attributes in this basic cube.
Virtual cube in BI system Y:
Product group
Year
Amount
Report in BI system Y:
Product group in rows
Amount in column
This report is not working.
If I do the the following changes as follows then it works:
1.Use Product instead of product group in report
2. Switch off navigational attributes in basic cube.
We are in BW 3.5 and navigational attributes option is ticked on for virtual cube.
In summary, If I do not use navigational attributes in report and switch off navigational attributes from basic cube then report shows data.
Could you please help me to figure out the issue.
Thanks,
Harry

Thanks Naga,
Yes, I tried adding product in virtual cube as well but it did not work. Secondly, we do not want to add product in virtual cube because of data aggregation.
Most strange thing is that, once we switch on any navigational attributes on basic cube, function module stop working (paasing any data to virtual cube report). report says no appropriate data found. We are using sap standard function module "RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ_RFC". I debegged this code and no data in internal tables.
If we switch off all navigational attributes from basic/source cube this function module provide data to internal tables in code.
Why function module is behaving like that.
You guys experience/support/any clue will be appreciated highly.
Thanks,
Harry

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 and FOX in IP

Hi,
I have experienced a strange behavior of a FOX.
This is a copy from ACTUAL InfoCube to PLAN InfoCube, keyfigures are different.
In the ACTUAL one, we have only cost center and profit center as navigational attribute. In plan, we have both. Here is the fox (operand is KF, infoprovider, profit center) :
{KF1, ACTUAL, PC01} = {KF3, PLAN, #}.
I doesn't work in IP (no data are read from the reference). We tested it in BPS and it works.
For me, this is the right syntax since profit center is not is the ACTUAL cube.
After that, we removed profit center from the operand (PC01 is a constant in the filter).
Here is the new fox (operand is KF, infoprovider) :
{KF1, ACTUAL} = {KF3, PLAN}. This fox is not supposed to work because it should try to read reference data with profit center PC01. But it works !!!
After saving data, we noticed that the fox copies every records from the ACTUAL cube with navigational attribute profit center = PC01.
Did you ever experience that or I missed something ?
The system seems to take into account the value of the navigational attribute.
Thanks

Hi Jaques,
I guess you have a MultiProvider and you have mapped the Characteristic PC from the plan cube and the navigational attribute from the actual cube both to the characteristic in the multiprovider.
Then it is correct, that the sytsem does the selection on the char in plan and the nav in actual.

Cornelia

Adding navigational attribute in multiprovider

Dear All,
I've created multiprovider. When I try to drag and drop the navigational attribute from the infoprovider available in the multiprovider to the navigational attribute folder, it does not move so. Please tell me how to add navigational attribute, dimensions in the multiprovider.
Plz reply soon as possible...

Hi ajerald.89
You need move first the Characteristic. the navigational atribute will be add automatic.
this question is about BW, maybe you need select much better the forum on the next time.

Question on navigational attribute ?

Hi all ,
we have turn-off some navigational attributes from 0MATERIAL ,
my questin is is it necessary to reload the full data or not ?
or
is it enough to run the attribute change run ?
Thanks

When you turn on Navigation Attributes , the additional fields are included into the X and Y tables and hence especially when you transport these changes to an IOBJ which is very large - you will need to make sure you have enough undo table space etc..
The same this applies to removing Nav Attributes... the X and Y tables will get rebuilt and if the IOBJ is very big - I would recommend taking additional precautions like monitoring unto tablespaces etc when transporting the same.
Also as an additional step - run the attribute change run once the transport is done - you need not reload any master data.

Selection generated with Navigational Attribute and store forecast profile

Hi,
Our business has a requirement that will require for the solution a Forecast Profile to be stored against a selection which was generated with a navigational attribute in the selection. I have found two SAP Notes 329707 and 394076 shown below which point to BAdi /SAPAPO/SDP_FCST5 method SEL_CHANGE to do the job. Can anyone help me in understanding what coding we need to do within the BAdi to get this to work. Does anyone have an example?
SAP Note 329707
Method:
    SEL_CHANGE (as of SCM 4.1)
    This method can be used to change the selection to be stored in
    in the generated selection table. Navigation attributes can be
    removed, such as the function of assigning a forecast
    profile to the selection can also be allowed for selections with
    navigation attribute without a basic characteristic.
    Parameter
     IV_PAREAID      Importing Type /SAPAPO/TS_PAREAID
     CT_SELECTION    Changing   Type /SAPAPO/TS_IOBJ_SELECTION_TAB
Sample code:
    DATA: lv_tabix     TYPE sytabix.
    DATA: lt_chars     TYPE /sapapo/dm_int_chars_tab.
    DATA: ls_chars     TYPE /sapapo/dm_int_chars.
    DATA: ls_selection Type /SAPAPO/TS_IOBJ_SELECTION.
    IF iv_pareaid = 'PAREA1'.
      CALL FUNCTION '/SAPAPO/TS_PAREA_SINGLE_GET'
        EXPORTING
          iv_pareaid   = iv_pareaid
        IMPORTING
          et_chars     = lt_chars
        EXCEPTIONS
          not_found    = 1
          OTHERS       = 2.
      CHECK sy-subrc EQ 0.
      LOOP AT ct_selection INTO ls_selection
                          WHERE iobjnm NE '9AVERSION'.
        lv_tabix = sy-tabix.
        READ TABLE lt_chars INTO ls_chars
                            WITH KEY iobjnm = ls_selection-iobjnm.
        IF sy-subrc EQ 0 AND NOT ls_chars-atrnavfl IS INITIAL.
           DELETE ct_selection INDEX lv_tabix.
        ENDIF.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDIF.
SAP Note 394076
As of Release SCM 4.1, you can use the method SEL_CHANGE of the BadI /SAPAPO/SDP_FCST5 to process the selection before saving it to the generated selection tables. This allows you to save selections with navigation attributes, for example, where the selections do not have a specified basis characteristic. You simply need to delete the navigation attributes from the selection.

Is all the Navigational attribute checked for display during cube creatiion?

How to remove "Read Only" attribute on folders

Hi
I am logged in with my User account which has full control over my folders.<o:p></o:p>
I have a folder that I tried to add modifications to, however i could not do so because the folder was classified as read only. I have full permissions to this folder. Previously the app that
uses this folder could write to it quite happily, but today it fails. <o:p></o:p>
The 'attributes' for the folder shows a solid square in the read-only box. If I 'un-box' the read-only and apply > ok, when I look at the attributes again the box is still checked.<o:p></o:p>
So my question is, if it's not (which it shouldn't be) some sort of protected Windows folder, and I have full permissions on the folder (supposedly), why does Windows not respect my wishes,
get out of the way, and let me set it to what I want it to be?<o:p></o:p>
I have tried the following methods to fix this issue, but none of them work:<o:p></o:p>
-Adjusting permissions and control, and changing security options<o:p></o:p>
-Using a third party application such as "clear read only" to remove the check on the box<o:p></o:p>
-Using the "attrib" function on the CMD prompt<o:p></o:p>
-Boot Scan for virus/malware that is affecting folder attributes<o:p></o:p>
-Running applications and CMD as administrator<o:p></o:p>
I have heard that if using a NTFS harddrive, then all folders will be automatically “Read Only” and that it is impossible to change that attribute. I find this hard to believe, as all folders
should have some way of being modified, regardless of what HDD I’m using. I obviously cannot change to FAT32, so how else can I get my folders to get rid of this ridiculous error!
<o:p>I have also noticed that this problem is very common amongst Windows users. If this problem has been around for a while, how is it possible that no solution has presented itself.
Regardless, we need a solution to it, because i can't do the things i need to while the Read Only attribute remains a constant on my folders. I thought it may be a virus, but my avast anti-virus did not pick up any infected areas when the scan was done. I
have searched the internet, and no "fix" has solved this issue. The only fix i have not found is a reg edit that could completely remove this read only attribute from all folders. Though i feel this is not neccesary, as i only need the attribute
to be removed from certain folders. Please kindly assist me with this issue, hopefully it will help many others too...</o:p>
Many thanks.

Have you taken ownership of the folder? Please first take ownership of the folder, then change the security options
Take Ownership of a File or Folder

If you have already did this, then run a scan with this tool,

or copy this folder to another location, test again.

Navigational Attribute Clarification

Hi all,
I have gone thru the forum for this concept.
Still i have little bit confusion on this.
Wat i understood is, Nav Attr behaves like a characterstic in Reporting, wat my doubt is instead of creating Nav Attr why don't we go for Creating that as a characterstic.
If we create a field as a navigational attribute from where it fetches the data during the reporting.
If i created a fiels as a characterstic from where it fetches the data during reporting.
Please
Regards,
Madhu

Hi,
A NAV is already a characteristic.
I believe that your question is more: why don't we store the characteristic directly in the InfoProvider instead of reporting on a NAV.
Suppose you sell articles (the basic char; CAMCORDER XYZ)
Suppose each article has an attribute "STATUS" = LIVE or DISCONTINUED.
Now you load your sales in a sales cube; you post the selling date, the article ID and it's status. When the article has been just listed (in JAN) to your shop it has the status LIVE, so you'll post something like
JAN__CAMCORDER XYZ__LIVE__$100
Now the status is set to discontinued by a buyer in FEB. Still you sell the remaining pieces:
FEB_CAMCORDER XYZ_DISC_$2000
Interesting to see that your cube can tell the turn over of this CAMCORDER depeding on its status over time.
Now the buyers might be interested to report only on LIVE articles.
Obviously filtering a query on STATUS = LIVE will still show $100 turn over in JAN, even if the article is now discontinued.
This is when the NAV enters into the into the game. If you enable the attribute STATUS as NAV of MATERIAL in your provider and filter you query ON MATERIAL__STATUS = LIVE, the CAMCORDER XYZ won't show up anymore.
just adding: during reporting, the X table of your basic char will give the SID of your NAV. Reporting with NAV add joins between tables, which can impact performance if not tuned properly.
hoping this clear you doubts...
Olivier.

Navigational Attributes are not shown in query

Dear all,
I have a problem in a query. I need to present values using by using Navigational attribute in the query, the thing is that it does not recognize my navigational attribute. I have checked the characteristic in the Multiprovider and Infocube as navigational. And in the Multiprovider I have identified the navigational attribute from the right source.
What I think is strange is that I can see the navigational attribute when I see the data in infocube but not in the query. Does anyone knows what I might be doing wrong?
Best Regards and many thanks,
Mazzz

Hi
plese try to find out the data for this fields through LISTCUBE,if you gets data here for that navigation attr then it has to appear in your query designer also.
and also once again check your idetification for the navigation attr in multi provider whether its taken from write souce or not.and plese chk through your cube also for the navigatin.
in cube navigational attr has to mark then in the same way in the multi provider also
