Reporting on an Attribute of an Attribute

On my current project we are trying to run a query based on an nav. attribute of an attribute. The reason for this is due to the master data relationships changing, which doesn't allow us to use both specific dimensions in a cube.
For example:
Our current business process allows the reassignment of a contract object to a different business partner. Data is loaded into a cube that contains both business partner and contract object as dimensions. The problem lies when the relationship of CO to BP is changed. The master data will be updated with the new change, however when reporting off the data in the cube, the integrity of the data will be compromised. Is there a way to remodel this or to execute some type of realignment of the attributes to be able to accomodate the master data relationship change?
Thanks in advance!

Hi David,
In a query, insert in Column area a key figure (not important). Then right mouse click on Indicators header and select new formula. In the next pop-up in left area you will see the option Formula Variable. Right Mouse click on it and select New Variable.
Then select replacement path and select in the next steps the father navigational attribute and the attribute you want to introduce.
Then introduce this formula variable in your query.
Try, I am not able to make a test in this moment.
Ciao.
Riccardo.

Dynamic Heading not translated in report template "Value Attribute Pairs"

Hello,
I created a report in which I use application item names in the column heading of the items.
When I use the report template "Value Attribute Pairs" the heading displays not the contents of the application item names but the exact contents of the headings.
for instance:
application item name "trm_label_1" has the value : "Naam".
I created a report based on the SQL: select x.name from persons x
The heading of column "name" is: "&TRM_LABEL_1.".
The report shows the text "&TRM_LABEL_1." instead of "Naam".
When I change the report template in "Standard" the substitution is done well.
Can anyone explain what (not) happens and how I can fix this problem?
Gr.
Rob

Hi Rob,
You can do this by choosing as Headings Type: PLSQL in the Column Attributes.
You would have something like Deptno:DName:Loc:&APP_ITEM.
Where the first columns are normal text and the last one is an application item.

Dimitri

CPH Reports for Status Attribute.

Using Central performance History (RZ23n), is it possible to create reports for Status attributes?
Eg: I want to create for number of abap dumps, dead locks for each day.
As per documentation it says we can create for performance values and we are able to create CPH reports for R3Dialog Response time...
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/c2/49773dd1210968e10000000a114084/content.htm
Any help or ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,
Venkat.

Thank you Shyam for so prompt reply,
We are using the same report. But its bit uneasy to go to change document of each and every ticket. Also in this report we could not find how much days the notification lay in New status or in In-process status. We require somewhat in following format.
Ticket number     New           Customer action     In-process
000001          1Day          1.3 Days          1 Day
000002          1.3 Days                           2.3 Days           1 Day
000003          3 Days          3.4 Days          1 Day
We are not bothered about days, week or hours etc. The purpose is to indentify how much time every ticket took stage wise. May be through ABAP this possible but we are looking for standard reports.
Thanks

Report Issue - Nav Attribute

Hi All,
 Here is my issue...
I've a sales report against Multi Provider to display a filed 'Province Ship To', it is a Nav attribute of 'Customer Ship To'. I've verified in mastre data of 'Province Ship To' that there are values for both text (Medium & Short) & Key and also verified values exits in MP through LISTCUBE. But when I run a query I'm getting 'Not Assigned" value for 'Province Ship To' and I need to see full description it.
I'd appreciate if some one could help me on this as this is urgent...
Thanks
BI Consultant

Thats what I did, display as both TEXT & KEY. For KEY it is showing up, for example OR in KEY but not showing up the description for TEXT/Name column, isntead it is showing as "Not Assigned" for all records.
I've verified Short & Med description extits for all records in Masterdata.
Example:
Key Txt/Name Desc.
OR Oregon
CA California
CT Connecticut
Thanks

OBIEE Report based on attribute dim or say base attribute value

Hi,
I have OBIEE and Essbase implementation and have set of attribute dimensions. I am trying to understand how can I create reports in OBIEE where I can use the attribute values to filter, group, sum my fact data. For example I have a hierarchy for Dimension Supplier Geography as below -
Geography (Gen1 - Dimension)
(Gen2, Region)
(Gen3, Country)
(Gen4, Supplier Parent)
(Gen5, Supplier) (Attribute as Company Name)
Sample :
Supplier Geography
-- East
-- C1
-- PS1
-- S1 (Comp1)
-- S2 (Comp2)
-- West
-- C2
-- PS2
-- S3 (Comp1)
-- S4 (Comp2)
-- C3
-- PS3
-- S5 (Comp3)
-- S6 (Comp4)
-- North
-- C4
-- PS4
-- S7 (Comp3)
-- S8 (Comp4)
-- South
-- C5
-- PS5
-- S9 (Comp1)
-- S10 (Comp2)
Now, I would like to report where I can display information based on the attribute and display across different level. This would require to create drop down for this attribute values. For example -
A drop down showing values are Comp1, Comp2, Comp3, Comp4. When user selects Comp1 and assume that I have fact as sales amount, it should show report as below -
Comp1
Region Sales Amount
East - 10,000
West - 5,000
South - 7,000
I don't want to add a level as company as it would result in lot of redundant information. Also, I have got almost half million members and it would explode the size if I add more levels. Is there any better way to achieve this? Can I model this using alternate hierarchy? If so how would this exposed in OBIEE again?
Appreciate your inputs.
Thanks

If you are sure of the number of attributes the user will be using as criteria is fixed and will not change, you should able to bind the literals to page items like:
select emp.ename
from emp
join attribute_value a1 on a1.empno = emp.empno and a1.att_name = 'DEPT'
join attribute_value a2 on a2.empno = emp.empno and a2.att_name = 'SALARY'
join attribute_value a3 on a3.empno = emp.empno and a3.att_name = 'HIREDATE'
where a1.att_numeric_value = :P1_dept_value
and   a2.att_numeric_value = :P1_salary_value
and   a3.att_date_value = to_date(:P1_hiredate_value,'YYYY-MM-DD');or
select emp.ename
from emp
join attribute_value a1 on a1.empno = emp.empno and a1.att_name = :P1_att1_name
join attribute_value a2 on a2.empno = emp.empno and a2.att_name = :P1_att2_name
join attribute_value a3 on a3.empno = emp.empno and a3.att_name = :P1_att3_name
where a1.att_numeric_value = :P1_att1_value
and   a2.att_numeric_value = :P1_att2_value
and   a3.att_date_value = to_date(:P1_att3_value,'DD-MM-DD');What happens when your user wants to add another attribute and use it as search criteria. You have to:
1) add a JOIN clause to the SELECT
2) add to the WHERE clause to the SELECT
Warning personal opinion to follow: I would give up binding (i.e.. skipping parsing os the SELECT statement) for the flexibility of generating the SELECT at runtime. If the user adds a new attribute, then the PL/SQL code that assembles the SELECT statement would not have to be changed. All the meta data is stored in the database as to what the new column is and which column in the attributes table to use (ATT_NUMERIC_VALUE or ATT_DATE_VALUE). If your method of displaying the attributes and receiving the user's criteria is dynamic like my example, then you would not have to change the application at all for new attributes.
Just my 2 cents worth of opinion,
Mike

Report script with attribute members

 In a report script, is there a way to output the attribute members associated with a base mbr. For example, the base member I'm interested in is item codes which is in a sparse dimension with 500k members. Each code has been tagged with 5 attribute members of buyer, warehouse, vendor, product line, and date of last receipt. Desired output is: Item Code, Buyer, warehouse, vendor, product, and date of last receipt. Right now I don't care about data at any intersections, rather I just want to output the various attributes associated with each item code. I tried doing dimbottom on items, buyers, warehouse, vendor, etc, but as expected the report would not run. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Maybe you can use the Outline Extractor, you can download itsomewhere on this website...

How to Merge Report of ManagedBy Attribute with Collection Membership

I would like to merge the query below:
SELECT
v_R_System.Name0
,v_R_System.managedBy0
,v_R_User.Full_User_Name0
,v_R_User.Distinguished_Name0
FROM
v_R_System
INNER JOIN v_R_User
    ON v_R_System.managedBy0 = v_R_User.Distinguished_Name0
With a query similar to that in the built-in "All Resources in a Specific Collection" report:
SELECT
    fcm.Name,
    CASE WHEN coll.CollectionType = 1 THEN fcm.SMSID ELSE fcm.Name END as Id,
CASE WHEN ResourceType = 3 THEN '*' ELSE '' END as C066,
CASE WHEN ResourceType = 4 THEN '*' ELSE '' END as C067,
CASE WHEN ResourceType = 5 THEN '*' ELSE '' END as C068,
SiteCode,
CASE IsDirect
  WHEN 1 THEN '*'
  WHEN 0 THEN ''
END AS C069,
        coll.CollectionType
FROM fn_rbac_FullCollectionMembership(@UserSIDs) fcm
INNER JOIN fn_rbac_Collection(@UserSIDs) coll on fcm.CollectionID = coll.CollectionID
WHERE fcm.CollectionID = @ID
The merged query would be used to build a table that has System_Name, Managed_By, Is_Member as its fields. The Is_Member field would contain a * if the system is a member of the designated collection, and be null if it is not.

Untested, because again, I don't have managedby attribute being pulled in via system disc in my lab. And yeah, you either never said it, or I never read your request that way, that you wanted to 2 collectionIDs.
;with CollMembers as
Select coll.Collectionid, fcm.resourceid, coll.name,
case when coll.collectiontype=1 then fcm.smsid else fcm.name end as ID,
case when fcm.resourcetype=3 then '*' else '' END as 'UserGroup',
case when fcm.resourcetype=4 then '*' else '' END as 'User',
case when fcm.resourcetype=5 then '*' else '' END as 'System',
fcm.SiteCode,
case fcm.isDirect
when 1 then '*'
when 0 then '*'
end as 'Is Direct Membership',
case coll.CollectionType
when 0 then 'Other'
when 1 then 'User'
when 2 then 'Device'
end as 'CollectionType'
from v_fullcollectionmembership fcm
join v_collection coll on fcm.collectionid=coll.collectionid
where coll.CollectionID=@CollectionIDWhereIWantaStar
Select s1.Name0 as 'ComputerName',
usr.Full_User_Name0 as 'Assignee',
case when CollMembers.Resourceid=s1.Resourceid then '*'
else '' end as 'Member of Collection'
from v_r_system s1
join v_r_user usr on s1.managedby0=usr.Distinguished_name0
left join Collmembers on CollMembers.resourceid=s1.resourceid
join v_fullcollectionship fcm on fcm.resourceid=s1.resourceid
where fcm.collectionid=@CollectionIDOfTheLargerCollection
order by 'Member of Collection' desc, s1.name0
Standardize. Simplify. Automate.
One final tweak and we've got it! Thanks Sherry!

How to genrate AUditLog Report with custom Attribute

Hi,
I would like to a add a custom search parameter in audit Log report.Please suggest solution for the same.
Thanks in Advance

It's unclear exactly what you are asking for, but you can set up an auditlog report to find specific kinds of data changes.
Internally, attribute changes are saved in the format:
BEFORE: ATTRIBUTE="ORIG VALUE"
AFTER: ATTRIBUTE="FINAL VALUE"
As long as you know the ATTRIBUTE name and the value transition you are looking for, you can set up the report to check for attribute changes. E.g.,
[x] Attribute Changes [contains] BEFORE: ASSIGNEDLHPOLICY="POLICY1"as the condition will find all cases where account policies changed from being "POLICY1" to some other policy. (Attributes are only listed in the logs if they changed).
Not sure if that's the kind of custom search parameter you are looking for though.

Reporting on resource attributes

We have a system with a few resources such as AD, which we pull information from, and push them all into an LDAP resource which will become the central identity repository. However we want to run reports on identities, and we'd like to dump a report similar to the all users report, but with a bunch of LDAP attributes as well.
Is this possible? It seems like we can only access IdM attributes when generating the report?

Hi Tom,
I think this will not be possible, because time is read from query date - and there can be given only one date.
So in one query, you can read only one information about the atribute.
You could consider using an infoset instead of a multi provider - there are special topics about time dependencies there - please read SAP help about this.

Cornelia

JDBC receiver report error message: attribute action missing

Hello Colleagues,
I am working on a scenario:
SAP ECC>XI proxy>XI server>JDBC adapter>oracle database.
SAP ECC is sending a request(SQL query) to get the result from DB.
The payload is
==========================================================================

</Query>

============================================================================
As you might already seen, the action attribute is there, but i always get the error log:
Error processing request in sax parser: No 'action' attribute found in XML document (attribute "action" missing or wrong XML structure)
I searched for the threads in forum but it seems, people get the same error always due to the wrong XML document.
but i check my xml, it looks right. why still get the "action attribute missing" error...
Best regards, Charlie Cai

In your query, are you executing Select Statement ?

Change your scenario Action as per your requirement.
No idea for ACTION = SQL_QUERY.

Reports using navigational attributes

Hi All,
I have a question, where I need list of queries which use two infoobjects(0sales_off & 0sales_dist) as navigational attributes of 0CUSTOMER.
Is there any easier way to find out this or any table will help? Please let me know..
Thanks,
Chandra

Hi Vikram,
We fetched ELTUID from RSZRANGE table. But RSZELTPRIO table does not have entries.
So we mapped TELTUID field (from RSZELTXREF table) to COMPUID(from RSZCOMPDIR table) .
This Solution is working only if selections /variables are defined on navigational attribute.
eg: q001 -> zcustomer_0sales_dist - simply dragged to free characteristics panel
q002 -> zcustomer_0sales_dist - dragged to free characteristics panel and restricted by varaible zsa_sofs
above solution is working for qoo2 but not for q001.

Using attributes in the Report Designer

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to display attributes of an InfoObject in the Report Designer? I made a query using several attributes of an InfoObject. This works great when I just run the query but as soon as I use the query as a datasource in the Report Designer the attributes are gone.
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Hi
you can view the attributes in RD.
which version of RD u r in. previous revisions u r not able to see the Attributes in the RD update ur system to latest revision.
In the Older versions u can select the attribute, After executing the Query, Click on Filter then select infoobject and Edit. In the Selector u can view ur attributes for the Selected Info object

Display attribute incorrectly reported as "not assigned" in BEX Analyser

Hi SCN
I have a simple BEX query on a master data infoobject which displays the object key and several display attributes. One of the attributes is often reported incorrectly as "not assigned" although the behaviour is erratic and can sometimes be correct from day to day. I have checked the master data table and there should be a value ... when I run the report in RSRT, the attribute is correctly reported !
I have checked the infoobject in RSRV for errors (all lights are green), deleted the cache and set the report to not use caching in RSRT but the attribute is still frequently "not assigned"
all very weird ... any thoughts ?
regards
Ian

Hi Ram
no error as such, the report displays the attribute as "not assigned" ... this image shows the query and the RSRT output
