Restrict Componding object in BEx Query

Hi All,
I have requirement were i need to show the number of employees by personnel sub area. (personnel sub area is the compounding of personnel area)
Eg :
PA PSA
ACO1 SALES
ACO2 SALES
ASD2 HR
ERTY SALES
I have added the personnel subarea in the rows (automatically personnel area is added) . In the properties of PA i changed to 'no display'(i dont want to display PA). I am trying to restrict PSA(Personnel sub area) to two areas(i.e HR, Sales) .But when i restrict the values it takes along with the respective PA (ACO1- SALES,ACO2- SALES) . So only those PA-PSA taken into the consideration of the report.I need to display headcount of employees for Sales and HR irrespective of there PA.
Regards

Hi Rahul,
When I restrict Sales and HR (right click PSA - restrict and i can see the values for all PA-PSA Combination) Say I moved Sales ,HR - But with combination ACO1 SALES , ASD2 HR . I can see PSA is restricted to SALES and HR.
But when i run the exectute the report it is taking only ACO1 SALES ,ASD2 HR employees into consideration .Whereas i need count all the employee in the Sales and HR irrespective of PA.
Hope you are clear with my question
I tried "Move Personnel area in filters and keep its display property as no display." but it doesnt work.

Can we restrict changes made in BEx query not to resemble in Universe

Hello Gurus,
I have a question. Lets say if there is a universe created based on BEx query and if later on BEx query is changed (newly added Chars, KF's or change in names) can we restrict the changes not to resemble in Universe?
Please give me any related document or link which will be a big favor for me.
Thanks a lot for your time.

Changes in the BEx query are not reflected always automatically in your universe: Eg. if you add an new restriction or a new keyfigure. You have to maunally refresh the structure of your universe and export it again on your BOBJ server.
Some changes will be automatically available though eg. if you change the code of a customer exit variable which is already used in your BEx query, even if you do not refresh the universe.
Please keep in mind that some kind of changes in the query (removing existing key figures or characteristics) may cause error messages when you try to run your universe (assuming you did not update it).
The recommendation here is to refresh your universe when you change the underlying BEx query. If you do not want to do that then your universe may stop working.

No data in WEBI report - but plenty of data in the underlying Bex query...

HI all - I have a problem with my webi queries - which are sometimes breaking...
We run in the XI 3.1 ans SAP int, kit - SP 2 on both.
Sometimes af perfectly well functioning webi report suddenly returns no values - stating that the query didn't find anything. However - if I run the bex query with the same selections I get plenty of data. So there is data. Therefore it might be a Int. kit problem - however, when I bulid a new webi report - similar to the first one, with same dimensions etc. but without all the formatting - It runs fine too!!!!
So it seems like somehow the original webireport has lost the connection to the measueres which it holds - has anyone any idea to what the cause might be and how to fix it?
By the way - I havre refreshed the Universe and there is nothing to update.

Hi Ingo - the MDX statement from the MDX trace - does not yield any data - However, if I make a similar selection in the BEX, there i data avaiable - so it might be a problem with the how the MDX statement is generated.
I've trouble shooted further and my learnings are so far:
The problem is caused by a combination of 5 dimensions
If you remove either one of the 5 dimensions - the query returnsdata
If you add a specific meausure (a restricted bex key figure) - data is also returned - also in the other measures.
The MDX statement looks like this:
SELECT { [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7MOA2YCJM1LAPRQNG], [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7MPTG70294GIUMJ70], [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7NGQDWFMH0MZ7LEP8], [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7NI9R53543I7CG78S], [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7NWVQXAK7CQUMKQEK], [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7NYF45Y2UFM2RFIY4] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( [0CALMONTH2].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS, [0REPTT].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0EMPLSGROUP].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0PAYSCALEAR].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0ORGUNIT].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZBOORGUNT ORGEH 01].[LEVEL00].MEMBERS ) ON ROWS FROM [ZMPHPTGL1/ZDQHPTMN1] SAP VARIABLES [0P_CALMO] INCLUDING [0CALMONTH2].[12] [0P_CALYE] INCLUDING [0CALYEAR].[2009]
Where all the measures in fact are restricted keyfigures from the Bex query. The dimensions are business content characteristics, as are the variables used.
The above MDX statement returns nothing - but if you remover either one of the dimensions in the cross joins - the expected data is returned.
Any ideas to why that happens?

Modifying the text "Result" and "Overall Result" in a BEx query output

Hi,
1) Is it possible to modify the text "Result", "Overall Result" which appears in the sub-total and grand total lines of BEx query output? I do not see any related setting the properties area of the object in BEx Query designer. Do I have to write some VB code or can I do something in Customer Exits?
Also my client wants that this text need to be made dynamic such as "Sub-Total for the month of Jan 2006".
I can use work book option and change the texts manually.But this is not meeting my clients requirement.
2)Is it possible to have dynamic title text for a BEx query?
We are on BW 3.5 & if any of you could provide / guidance to the above issue.
Thanks,
Venkatram

You will have to use VB Macros to change the text "Result" and "Overall Result", there is not settings in the query designer for the same.
You can have dynamic descriptions for queries using text variables like Expense Query for month of Jan 2006, if user selected Jan 2006.
Thanks.

Char restriction in Bex Query Designer

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone explain what is the use of the Characteristic Restriction Area in in the BEx Query designer
If i set 0CALYEAR =2008 in the Char Restriction and in the column definition i set the one of the column to display data from year 2009. Will it work ?
Please advice
Thank you
BR

There are two type of characterstic restrcitions in the query. Global and local.
If you are createing a restrcited key figure or selection and restricting calday then it will be restricted to that particular key figure (and show 2008 data) and in the columns it will show you other years data (i.e. 2009 data).
But if you are using a global fiter in the filter tab of query designer, then it will be applicable to the whole query.

Creating Restrictions in BEx query designer for (1-a), where a is variable.

Dear All,
>> Suppose for the variable in the BEx query designer, I've created restriction for 0FISCPER to the variable 0P_PER (as 0P_PER-1) by right clicking 0P_PER3, from that a dialog box appears. In that I've selected 0P_PER3 and then clicked on offset variable and when I set the offset variable, it works for (0P_PER-1.etc, 0P_PER+1,etc..)
But if I want to have (1-0P_PER), then plz tell me how to define this restriction?
Plz explain me the steps to perform (1-0P_PER) restriction in BEx query designer in BW1.
I'm using SAP BI 7.2 gui.
Expecting your reply soon,
with Regards,
Jerald

My requirement is that I want to have " 1-fiscal year"., But this I could not define using offset variables, since using offset we can define "fiscal year +1" or "fiscal year -1".
So there would be some other way to define "1-fiscalyear". So Please help me to define "1-fiscalyear" by giving me the steps.
Thank you,

Authorisation in Business Objects Explorer Infospaces created on BEx query

Hello,
We have installed Business Objects Explorer, created Universe on BEx query and created a Explorer Infospace on that universe. everything works fine but the authorisations created for the user in BEx query are not taken into consideration when I login using SAP username "leveraging" SSO.
Is Explorer not designed to consider authorisations in BEX query?
Whats happening during Indexing of an Infospace? Will the system save the data in Business Objects repository from the source of the data?
Thanks in advance.
/Suman

Hi Suman,
You are right , Explorer is not designed to leverage Authorisations in SAP BW.
Polestar is indexing data and keeping it out side of BW. Although you can log in with SSO , it doesn't check the authorization according to BW, it shows everything indexed.
You can have a workaround if the case is simple such as;
Suppose you have 3 region , you can create 3 infospaces and give these authorizations to users from CMC.
But if you really want to use all features of authorization in BW , it is impossible for now.

Can Business Objects Web Intelligency reports access NearLine Storage data Via BW Bex Query

Hi Gurus,
I am aware BEX queries can access NearLine Storage data for reporting but can Business Objects Web Intelligency reports access NearLine Storage data Via BICS connection ( Bex Query as a Source).
Thanks,
Shak.

I would recommend to let your SAP Basis guys do a security trace on the SAP BW side and see if some authorization check for the user fails when trying to fetch data over the universe.

Linking the restrictions on different characteristics by OR in BEx query

Hi ,
Can anyone suggest on how a Bex query can be bulit in which the restrictions on different characteriastics are combined by OR .
For eg. select * from infoprovider where plant = '3001 'or distibution channel = '05' .
The usual way of resticting different characteristics goes with AND combination between the characteristics in Bex.
Working out through conditions is also not possible as characteristics have to be combined with OR not keyfigures.
Regards,
Narasimha.

Hi,
This can be done. Try the follwoing.
Create 3 RKF/Selctions.
RKF1 --> Restrict on Plant 3001, Include the required base key figure
RKF2--> Restrict on Distribution Chnnel 05, Include the required Key Figure
Now create a CKF1 = RKF1 + RKF2, display the CKF in query.
If you have case where Plant is 3001 and Dist channel is 05 abd this also be displayed then above calculation will give you twice as base key figure which will be incorrect, In rest of the cases only one RKF will fetch the value so it will be correct.
Now to over come this create one more RKF3
RKF3 -- Restrict Plant 3001, Dist Channel 05 and base key figure,
Create one CKF2 on this
CKF2 = 0-RKF3
Now you have to change the CKF1's definition
CKF1=RKF1+RKF2-CKF2
Display CKF1 in report
I hope it will help.
Thanks,
S

Universe Designer not pulling Long Text from BEx Query / Info Object

In the BEx query on which my universe is built, all the characteristics display with Long Text. In each of the info objects (RSD1), the long text option is selected in the BEx properties. However, when the Universe builds, it pulls the short text for the names of the classes, dimensions, and details that get created. I don't want to have to manually change every line to the long text, so I would love to hear if there's some setting in the designer that is causing this to happen.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you!
AZ

Another interesting data point to add to this:
The long description is transfered for Key Figures, but not for Characteristics.

How to remove Decimals in Quantity Objects in SAP BO Explorer View created on top SAP Bex Query?

Hi,
I created SAP BO Explorer report on top of SAP BEx Query.
In SAP BEx Query, Decimals were hided but when i created OLAP Universe on top that SAP BEx Query and Created Index on top of Information Space in SAP BO Explorer and then created Exploration Views. But i'm getting Decimals in my Exploration Views where as SAP BEx Query in RSRT, no decimals were appearing.
Can anyone suggest me how to remove decimals in SAP BO Exploration Views.

Hi Ramana,
I am not use how you connect to SAP BEx query (Via universe or BWA or HANA)
What I could say is BWA and HANA, you cannot adjust this
For universe, you could try in universe layer, there is note about this
For BWA and HANA, this function might be enhanced but you 'd better raise OSS to SAP to check with them
Best regards
