SEM 4.0 Hierarchy Variable Text Display

When using a variable of type hierarchy in BPS web interface with new design, text for nodes & characteristics fail to display. Same config works fine with old design. There is a note on a similar issue, however it only applied to 3.5 and lower. Anyone has seen similar?

Problem with hierarchy variable while displaying query in Portal

Hi,
I came up with an problem with a query in the portal. The problem is :
I have one query which is displayed in the portal. The Query has hierarchial selection criteria. I am executing the same query using analyzer. Its taking the variable from the selection and displaying it on the analyzer. I have used the option to " display the query on web " from the BEX query designer. From there its opening and displaying the results with the given selection criteria.
Where as when i open the query seperately in portal, its not displaying the results.
I came to know from one of my colleague that the porblem is with the Web item and the hierarchial variable declared in WAD was different from the variable declared in the BEX Query designer.
I never Worked with WAD. I tried finding out the variable definition. But i was unable to find out where the Hierarchial variable was defined.
Please help me out regarding the same.

The problem is sovled.

Hierarchy variable description not displaying correctly

Hi all,
I'm using 0ORGUNIT hierarchy variable in several queries either based on the characteristic 0ORGUNIT, or based on the navigational attribute 0EMPLOYEE_0ORGUNIT.
When I execute the query with 0EMPLOYEE_0ORGUNIT hierarchy variable the selection node description displays the Medium description, which is correct.
Whe I execute the query with 0ORGUNIT hierarchy variable the selection node displays the Short description, which is incorrect, as I need it to display the Medium description.
The settings for the object in both query properties are set to display Text Medium Length, and 0ORGUNIT infoobject Business Explorer tab dipslays text, text type is medium Length and bex description is long text, but still when I try to select the node in the parameter selection before query execution the description differs in both cases, any idea why??
Please advice, much appreciated.
Thanks!
M.

Hi,
I understand what you're saying, and unfortunately I can't attach any screenshots here but both queries use the Medium Description in the object properties and it's maintained in the text table /BI0/TORGUNIT as well (short and medium).
However, the BEx Descpription is only in short and long text, there is nothing I can change or maintain about that.
It looks like everything is as it should be, because for one query I can see the medium text properly, but not for the other, even though I'm using the exact same settings, apart from the fact that in one query I use 0ORGUNIT and in the other it's used as a navigational object 0EMPLOYEE_0ORGUNIT.
It's a funny thing indeed....
Thanks

How to create a group/list of check box variables for display in text field, in appended format

I need to identify a series of single-response checkbox variables and display the ones selected (as a group) in a text field in an appended (comma, space) format. Last week, you provided a great little script for a similar need using List Box (multiple response) variables. This time I need to know how to formally identify the checkbox variables and, I presume, use a similar script to display the results in a comma, space format.
You've been of great help.
Thanks

Here's the script adapted to this situation. It assumes there are ten check boxes named cb1, cb1, cb2, ...cb10.
// Custom Calculate script for text field
(function () {
 // Initialize the string
 var v, s = "";
 // Loop through the check boxes to build up a string
 for (var i = 1; i < 11; i++) {
 // Get the value of the current check box
 v = getField("cb" + i).value;
 if (v !== "Off") {
 if (s) s += ", "; // Add a comma and a space if needed
 s += v; // Add the selected value
 // Set this field value to the string
 event.value = s;
You'll have to change the field name and starting/ending numbers to match your form.

Text variable placeholder display

Not too many people will be familiar with both Mac and Windows incarnations of CS3, so this might not be a known issue (then again, I just might have missed previous discussions). Placeholders for Text variables are displayed on master pages as "<Name of variable>" on my Windows machine. If I open that same file on any one of our Macs, they are displayed as "" -- that's right, a tiny tiny dotted rectangle, with no recognizable text. Is that just all of our Macs (4 of them), or is the Mac community missing out on this rather important hint? If the latter, do they care? ;-)

Sorry, Haeme, it's not i literally a ""-thingy. Sometimes I forget not everyone is a programmer -- it's an empty string, zero characters. With invisiblies on I can see a thin, tall, blue dotted rectangle. (walking 'round to a random Mac:) Just (double) checked. It has nothing to do with Windows files, an entirely new file does the same. Some further details: it only happens with Running Headers, which kinda makes sense, as the other types immediately display a value (Filename, Output Date, and the like). But I'd think that's what the <Placeholder> was for; to see i something there. If I just could remember how to make a screen shot on OSX (wait, I got it ...) <img src="http://www.jongware.com/binaries/weirdvariable.png" />

How to display Hierarchy Variable in BI 7.0 WAD

Hi Experts
I have a variable for Cost Center which is a Hierarchy Variable and not a Hierarchy Node Variable. I am using BI WAD 7.0 and my requirement is that the user wants to see for what Hierarchy s/he ran for.
I am using a Information Web Item whihc is under Advanced tab. After dragging that I check the box for Variables so that the user see all the variables he ran for and after s/he prints its more precise report.
My problem is I cant see the Hierarchy variable value in my Web Template ....I can see at the variable POP UP screen I enter my Hierarchy but after executing it I dont see my Hierarchy variable value.
Your suggestions will be reciprocated with Points.
Thanks

Hello Experts,
To substantiate my earlier question ...I have 3 Hierarchies for 0COSTCENTER
In the WAD under the Information Web ITem i check the box for
Display Variables (VARIABLES_VISIBLE)
I have 3 variables
1) Hierarchy Variable : user will pick 1 out of 3 Hierarchy
(not a node but entire Hierarchy)
2) Fiscal Year/period
3) Value type
But I can see only 2 variables after the Web template is executed , the user wants to see for what hierarchy it ran when it prints the report
Your suggestions are supremely appreciated
Thanks

BEx Hierarchy variable - display 2nd noode

Hello,
I created a BEx 7.0 hierarchy variable. Is it possible when executing the query that the user see hierarchy starting from 2nd noode?
Any idea?

Hi Pascal,
You can hide your first node also from query designer by selecting "Nodes with only one lower level node" in hierarchy properties and select HIDE from the drop-down menu.
I hope this will help you to solve your problem.

Hierarchy not getting displayed

Hi,
I have changed the hierarchy by manual update i.e i have added a node to the hierarchy .
And after that i have saved and activated the hierarchy .
It was giving an error saying "Number of nodes in the node is more than the hiearchy ".
The solution was given to "Supress the Inassigned Nodes".
Now , i have did the same .But , still the values are not appearing when i am displaying in the reports.
I.e i am selecting in the input screen where i have created a hierarchy variable.
But , when i want to select the hierarchy in the report by F4 , i am not able to see the node which i newly inserted.Though , i am seeing in the rsa1 .
Please help me with this.

Balaji Raj

We got the sloution for this:
We need to make the hierarchy setting and tick the check entry box in top down planning layout. Then this is automatically taken care of.

HIerarchy Variable in Selection Screen not taken into account.

Hi,
Our users choose a cost center hierarchy in the selection screen and run the report. As we have suppressed Unassigned Nodes, they do not appear. However when users then deactivate the hierarchy, unassigned nodes are shown. Their argument is that the unassigned nodes should still not be displayed because a hierarchy was entered on the selection screen. Is there a way of stopping this?
Thanks

Hi Shawn,
I think I get what you did in your query, though it took me some time...
Did you select the cost center in your query and set the display hierarchy using settings, hierarchy tab, select hierarchy, hierarchy variable (or something like that)? That would explain why the query isn't filtered on that hierarchy, only the display of cost elements is affected. You should also have the same hierarchy variable in your filter settings in the query designer. That way, the user filters on a hierarchy and the unassigned nodes will never be in the result.
Hope it helps, tell me if I got it wrong,
Kind regards,
Alex

BW hierarchy variable not working in Crystal Report 2008

Hi,
I have created BEx 7.0 report which has hierarchy on 0customer object, the report is working fine whith hierarchy variable. I have created Crystal Report by using this query as source. I have followed below link to create grouping to get data through hierarchy variable.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/BWHierarchiesinCrystalReports
But report does not work for hierarchy variable and report is blank. When I give filter of child node which has actual data then I get report output. For ex.
Below hierarchy for 0customer
11396
- 737007
- 123456
When I run report for 11396 then no data display but when I run 737007 child node I get report output but with blank group name.
Can anyone came accross this issue. Please guide me . Thanks in advance.

Thanks Ingo for your reply..
The word filter means, I have hierarchy node variable in the BEx report that has become Parameter in CR. When I give hierarchy node variable value of parent node then there is not data display but for the child node I get the data.
For ex. In the info cube there is data for 730707 customer but in the customer hierarchy the parent node of 73707 is 11396. I am giving 11396 in the variable pop screen for hierarchy variable. I do not see any data but for 73707 I get data.
User does not know 73707, he always enter 11396 customer no. and he gets data in BEx query that is source of CR. but crystal report is not showing data for 11396.
One more point I want to tell here, I am saving CR at my local system not to SAP BW server.
Hope this clear my issue.

Variable Text not working as dynamic header in Crystal report

Dear Experts,
I'm working Crystal report that connected to Query BEX SAP BW trough SAP integration kit,

Hierarchy variable names in report

I'm would like to be able to display the user selection for a hierarchy variable in a Crystal Report but when I do I get a message that says you can't add this to a report as a field. Is there any way to get access to this so it can be put in the report header? I know how to get the technical name from the parameter, but we need the description.

Hi Ingo and the others,
so, that unfortunately a very hard constraint.
We have for example the following scenario:
A sales Crystal Report which is built on a SAP BW Query. The query contains a country variable, to select the country. Now we want to create Country Sales report. In Crystal the variable is converted into a parameter. The country selection works fine and the report is able to show the correct data. But all this does not make sense with the country name in the report title. Is there no way to achieve this?
Would rebuilding the parameter with Crystal means and deleting it from the BW query an option, or would this have a bad effect on performance issues?
Best regards,
Sebastian

URGENT::Hierarchy Variable creating Problem in WAD

Hi,
I am using Profit Center as Hierarchy variable in my Queries, when i run the report in WAD portal, and select the profit center on the selection screen, after clicking the check button it appears with compounding Characteristic Controlling Area as prefix.
In the back end for the Profit Center Hierarchy data each node has Controlling Area attached with profit center(value), whereas in master data for profit center we don't have controlling area attached with profit center(value).
For eg: if the Profit center has value P0001 has the controlling area is CA01 then the master data of profit center shows the value as P0001 whereas when we look at Hierarchal nodes it displays as CA01P0001 along with its description.
So when we run the Query we dont get any data because it shows that profit center CA01P0001 node does not exist in Hierarchy.
But in Analyser Query is working fine.
Please suggest some solution.
Thanks in Advance.

Ankur

Hierarchy node text shows short text instead of medium text in WebI report

Hi,
We have created a simple Hierarchy suing Tx RSH1.
US -> North Carolina
South Carolinakey
Rest of America
Please note "North Carolina" is the medium text for the node while the short text which can contain max of 10 chars is "North Caro"
We have used and activated the hierarchy within the BEx query. Text display with "Medium Text" has been enabled for the InfoObject. The display on the BW report is as expected showing the medium text for all levels and all modes.
When a universe is built on the query and a WebI report is created based on the universe everything works fine other than than the Hierarchy text for different levels and nodes. Instead of showing the Medium text, the short text is getting display.
We took out the text object from the Universe in the Universe designer and went ahead with the key and medium text, but that did not help.
Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround for this issue?
We are on XI 3.1 SP3.
Rgds

Hi,
I am working on BO XI 3.1 SP2.
I have displayed the medium text for the hierarchy nodes as:
In my universe three detail objects(key, medium name and long name) gets generated for each hierarchy node.
I have copied the definition of L01 Medium name (detail object) in the L01 dimension object. similarly for other hierarchy nodes.
i.e. L02, L03.. etc.
Now the master data which have been loaded for the medium name will be displayed.

Rohit
