Single-valued or multi-valued?

Please knidly help to explain, in which case the filed should be single-valued, or multi-valued?

Hi Alfred
Say you're storing employee information in MDM, and the employee data structure includes a "Country of Birth" field, and a "Nationality" field.
You can only be born in 1 country, so this field would be single-valued.
However, you can have multiple nationalities, so this field would be multi-valued.
Similarly, an employee could have "Preferred language" and "Spoken languages" fields. The "Preferred language" field would be single valued, while the "Spoken languages" field would be multi-valued. Both fields will lookup to the same table (Languages).

Query Customer Exit - Multi Single Values

Hi SDN,
Is it possible to return multi-single values in a customer exit for a query variable or only a range?
I have 2 characteristics (NUMC), an item ZITEM and a group ZGROUP. An item can belong to many groups.
ZITEM           ZGROUP
1                     1
1                     2
2                     3
4                     1
I would like to create a variable in Query Designer for ZITEM that returns a list of single values for ZITEM (not a range). For example, Group 1 should return items 1, 4.
The relationship between ZITEM and ZGROUP is not defined in master data (compounding). Currently, I have a DSO which has ZITEM and ZGROUP defined as a key. I would like my query variable-customer exit to read the DSO and return a list of single values of ZITEM.
I'm assuming making ZGROUP a compounding infoobject of ZITEM would solve the issue in query designer because I could restrict on ZGROUP. I have not used this approach because it would require modifying standard extractors.
Another option I explored was to create an Infoset between my InfoCube and the DSO which has ZITEM & ZGROUP. Unfortunately my InfoCube has NonCulm. Key Figures and therefore cannot be used in an infoset.
Does anyone know how to create a multi-single value customer exit or have any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Thanks!

I was able to create a customer exit which performed multi-single values.
Psuedocode:
1) Create Internal Table and populate it with DSO data for Group and Item
2) In Customer Exit, loop through internal table for the group you want
3) In loop, append l_s_range to e_t_range (this will add multi-single values)
WHEN 'ZCX_FLWGRP60'.
    IF I_STEP = 2.
      l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
      l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
      "get multi single values for flow types
      LOOP AT l_t_flwgrp INTO l_s_flwgrp
        WHERE /BIC/ZFLW_TP_G = '60'.
        l_s_range-low = l_s_flwgrp-FS_FLW_TP.
        append l_s_range TO e_t_range.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDIF.

Crystal Reports prompt single value variable from BEX

Hi,
after upgrade to BO 4.1 SP2 Patch 3 the prompt from BEX variable in CR doesn't work.
After investigation the issue is happened for variables containing more than 9 values.
Bex Setting: Variable -> Details -> Variable Represents -> Single value
Variable which shows Jan-Dec
The issue happens only on CR file stored in BO server in Cr design time it works fine.
Is the bug known? Is there any solution?
Harald

Yep.
Now tell me how you want to show that Prompt @ WebI report level.
My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
where user can enter the values directly. Exactly, i didn't get this??
@Prompt:
You have flexibility to show options like:
Mono/Multi: User can select Single value or Multiple.
BW Variable: Same we have (Single/Multiple)
Free/Constrained: User can Enter his/her value directly or No change option.
BW Variable: By defalut you will get this, once you made it to Optional input.
Persistent/Not_Persistent: Refreshed report has to show last selected value means use Persistent otherwise Not_P.
By seeing the Prompt syntax , I can say your Variable is after Customer Exit, Correct??
Workaround for your Problem is:
<FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A','Date\LovDate (Previous Day)Base',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
You have to remove that Date class and objects from prompt syntax. Because of that it showing up LOV's not calendar.
Like:
<FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A',',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
Why, It should be blank??
Because Date needs no class\object to show up, by default you will get Calendar on the fly.
Hope you got my point.
Thank You!!

Compares single value content property to single value property

Hi,
I am using WLPS 3.2 with weblogic apps 5.1.
This is when regarding content selection rules. When u go into the rules
management and try to create a content selection rule : Then display content
based on:
we see 3 templates to choose from. Now if u look at template 2 it says
:Value with Property Example
This template compares a single-value content property to another
single-value property. content.investor_type equals user.investor_type
It says this template compares "single value" content property to another
"single-value property". What i did was set up a rule that comared a single
value content property to a "multiple" value user property (i.e. the user
property was allowed to have multiple values-check boxes). The rule was set
up fine. When i ran the rule with the <pz:contentselector> tag it dint
return the desired content object. Now if i set up the same rule to match a
single valued user property then it worked!!! Could you please let me know
why this happens and is this a limitation of the tool. What is an
alternative solution for me to compare a content property to a multi valued
user property.
Thanks,
--Kapil

Hi Kapil,
You're correct on all counts. This workaround does move the content
selection into the JSP, rather than using a rule -- which is not ideal.
Also, your suggestion to build one query string to cut down on the number of
database calls is a good improvement.

Hi Ginny,
I really appreciate ur response. This work around was not knew to me. Iwas
expecting a better work around from some reasons:
i) The definition of this rule is hard coded and not administered thu the
tools interface.
ii) There are multiple database calls for each property value retrieved
every time the <cm:select> tag is executed which is very expensive.
iii) The query that i build for the <cm:select> or <pz:contentQuery> tag
doesnt support the in statement.
My work around was something like this:
Build the query string first which would look something like this
CONTENT.interest like '*Science*' || CONTENT.interest like '*Astronomy*'
Then run the <cm:select> or <pz:contentQuery> tag so that i have only one
database call.
Considering the user has 2 interests chosen Science and astronomy. I usethe
like so that CONTENT can be tagged to accomodate multiple values which is
very possible in a real life situation. For eg: <meta name="interest"
content="Science,Astronomy" >
Is this a better work around or am i totally out of line.
Thanks for your help and time

"Ginny Peterson" <[email protected]> wrote in message

Hi Kapil,
Yes -- this is a limitation with the phrase templates. The "Value with
Property" phrase template compares a single-value content property to
another single-value property. What's key here (and often overlooked)
is
that fact that the property you're using must be a single-valueproperty.
>>
There is a workaround using the <cm:select> tag rather than the <pz>tags.
Basically, it involves getting a list of the values for yourmultiple-value
property, and iterating over that list, selecting the content for each
of
the items in the list.
Here's some sample code. Assume you have a text, multiple, unrestricted
property called "MyInterests" in property set "TestPropertySet"; a user
might have values like this: "Science, Astronomy, Cooking".
<%@ page extends="com.beasys.commerce.axiom.p13n.jsp.P13NJspBase"%>
<%@ page import="com.beasys.commerce.content.ContentHelper"%>
<%@ taglib uri="es.tld" prefix="es" %>
<%@ taglib uri="cm.tld" prefix="cm" %>
<%@ taglib uri="um.tld" prefix="um" %>

<%
String userName = (String)getSessionValue(SERVICEMANAGER_USER,request);
String groupName = (String)getSessionValue(SERVICEMANAGER_SUCCESSOR,
request);
%>

<%
// Check to see if logged in, then getProfile for the user with groupas
successor
if(getLoggedIn(request))
%>
<um:getProfile scope="session" profileKey="<%= userName %>"
successorKey="<%= groupName %>" />
<%
else // use the default profile for the group
%>
<um:getProfile scope="session" profileKey="<%= groupName %>"
groupOnly="true" />
<%
%>

<um:getProperty id="areas" propertySet="TestPropertySet"
propertyName="MyInterests" />
<br><br>Interests for <%= userName %>:
<%
// Multi-valued properties are retrieved as an ArrayList, so cast to a
Collection so we can iterate through
Collection c = (Collection)areas;
String queryString;
Iterator i = c.iterator();
while(i.hasNext())
String nextVal = (String)i.next();
queryString = "CONTENT.interests == '" + nextVal + "'";
%>
<cm:select contentHome="<%= ContentHelper.DEF_CONTENT_MANAGER_HOME %>"
query="<%= queryString %>" id="docList"/>
<es:forEachInArray id="aDoc" array="<%= docList %>"
type="com.beasys.commerce.axiom.content.Content">
<li>Matched document message:
<cm:printProperty id="aDoc" name="message" encode="html"/>
</es:forEachInArray>
<%
%>
FYI, this limitation is not present in WLCS 3.5; it's much more flexiblein
terms of using mutli-valued properties (and multi-valued meta tags) in
rules.
I hope this helps!

How to pass multiple single values to parameter in planning function?

Hi!
I can not pass the variables (multiple single Values) from Input Layouts(BexAnalyzer) to Planning Function Types...Anyone have any idea for setting the parameter in the function types. I use the exit class CL_RSPLFC_BPS_EXITS.
My Parameter Type is Elementary and also use variables allowed

If you want to use the class as in a planning function type, proceed as follows:
1. Create an InfoObject that accepts the name of the function module as a characteristic value. We recommend that you create an InfoObject of type character with length 30 and indicate that this InfoObject is "Without Master Data".
2. In transaction RSPLF1, create a new function type. Chose the "Reference Data" option and enter the name of the class. This does NOT imply that reference data is read automatically, but results from the requirements for implementing the class.
3. On the "Parameter" tab page, create two parameters - one for the exit module and one for the init module. The parameters should be "elementary". Chose the InfoObject you created in step two as the dedicated InfoObject. The names of the parameters are determined from the values of constant P_C_NAME_EXIT_PARAM and P_C_NAME_INIT_PARAM.
4. If you require additional parameters in your function module (called exit parameters), you create these parameters as elementary parameters (with appropriate InfoObjects). Note an additional predefined parameter here - in many function modules, the name of the area is used from which the module is called. The area is not used in BI Integrated Planning but it may be the case that an area was created in BPS which only uses the current InfoCube. For this reason, you can create a parameter with the name specified in constant P_C_NAME_AREA_PARAM by specifying the name of this area to the function module. The value of this parameter is passed on to the function module in the interface as the value of the importing parameter I_AREA. Note that this technology can generally only by used for Basis InfoCubes and simple planning areas (not multi- planning areas or MultiProviders).
You can create additional elementary parameters as long as the names do not correspond to the predefined names. The class automatically recognizes the additional parameters and transfers them to table IT_EXITP in the function modules.
5. After you have activated the planning function type, you can create planning functions and fill the parameters accordingly.

VC single value

Hi Experts,
                i have got a question on Variant configuration.
What is the purpose of the radio button single value and multiple values in creating characteristic?
Thank you
Anil

With a single value characteristic (radio button) the user can only select one option.
With a multi-value characteristic, the user can select one, or more than one, value.
For a configurable PC, A single value characteristic could be
Screen
   - 17 inch
   - 19 inch
   - 22 inch
You can only get one or the other
A multiple value characteristic could be
PC-Options
   - 120mb usb back up drive
   - Extra DVD drive
   - Wireless Mouse
   - etc.
You can select any number of options you want

How to hide a single value node hierarchy in the query designer

Hi,
I would like to perform a calculation in the infocube. It concern a count "Nb of different customers" with the following hierarchy : Country / region / City.
This KF would be read at the same time by city, region and country, and certain customers exist in 2 different region, and I have to count them only once by country.
To do this, I added a new record (at the country level when loading infocube) to deduct a number of customers in doubloons.
This line added contain only a country code and the number of cutomers in doubloons (- 23 when I have 23 cutomers in doublons) with revrese sign.
Now, I would like to use this value (-23) to have a right Nb of different customers by country, without showing the not assigned line in the report hierarchy.
How can I hide, in the query designer or the WAD, a single value node from hierarchy (NOT assigned) but take in account the value (-23) at the country level ?
Is there another solution (more simple) to perform this in the infocube ?
For information,
1) The infocube is loaded once per month, and the KF (Nb of different customers" is also performed by month.
2) I can't perform this in the report (performance problem with calculated KF).
thx.

Hi,
the short answer is "you can't", the longer is: The ADF Faces tree component is stamped for better performance. This stamping means that nodes are not rendered as JSF objects but copies of an existing component (just with a changed value). For this reason the nodes don't issue their own query for data and thus cannot be refreshed individually

How can we Restict the Char single value Variables with , , =

Hi Experts,
How can we Restict the Char value Variables with <, >, <= (without selecting Inverval or only passing single value)
For Example
We have a standard Query 0FIAR_C03_Q1005, in this
New Selection
"1 - 15 Days, Posting Date<=Key Date, Clearing Date>Key Date"
This is restricted with the
Clearing(0CLEAR_DATE)
<Clearing key date(0P_KEYD3) It is a single value SAP Exit Varible
PostingDate(0PSTNG_DATE)
<= Posting keydate(0P_KEYD3) It is a single value SAP Exit Varible
When seeing these 0P_KEYD3, 0P_KEYD3 variables in the New selection screen they looks like >0P_KEYD3, <=0PSTNG_DATE
if you define any custom variables these are looks like =ZV_DATE.
to enable < , >, <= symbols for variables what we need to do.
In other way
Say we created one variable ZV_DATE single value, processing type as customer exit.
for this we populated current day,
Now Requirement is we need to display the all the records which are <= current date,
instead of passing low and high values, i want to restrict the calday <=ZV_DATE
New selection
0calday
<=ZV_DATE
How can we achive this, this is how the business content report having the restrictions
Please sugget me.
Thanks
Chandra

Ok,
In the InfoObject 0calday in the query designer under the filter area, under characteristic restrictions right-click over that InfoObject (0calday).
In the next window (select Values for [0CALDAY] Calendar Day in the dropdown box for "Show" choose Value Ranges. Under the word "Between" dropdown box select "Less than or equal to"
Below that word click on the button of the dropdown box Select from list.
In the new window select instead of History Variables and double-click on your variable ZV_DATE.
Click on the right blue arrow to move it to the right.
And there you go.
Tip: It exists a SAP standard variable named 0DAT which is exactly the current date (don't need to use ZV_DATE variable).

SQL to match a single value in a field with comma-delimited text

I have a column that can contain none, one or many recordIDs
(from another table) stored as comma-delimited text strings (i.e.,
a list). I need to retrieve all records that match a single value
within that list.
For example, if I want to match all values that equal
recordID 3, and I use ... WHERE MyColumn IN ('3') ... , I will get
all records that have EXACTLY 3 as the value of MyColumn, but not
any MyColumn records whose values include 3, if they are instances
such as "3,17" or the like.
Also using the LIKE operator -- as WHERE MyColumn LIKE '%3%'
-- will get me unwanted records with values such as 35 or 13 ...
Can I use some sort of intervening ColdFusion list processing
to output only the desired records?

I can't exclude single value in cost center of S_ALR_87013611 report

Hello all.
I'm using the S_ALR_87013611 report. I need select for 'cost center' field. I press the button 'multiple selection' for cost center field but don't exist the tab 'Exclude single value' and 'Exclude Ranges'. Only exists the tab: 'Select single Values ' and 'Select Ranges'
thank.

HI Guerrer
Thats a limitation...
The field Cost center is defined as a variable and thats why you are allowed to input the values at selection screen... Sets are used in these report for variables and you can enter only the required values.. It has no option for excluding values

Unable to enter single value for a variable in BPS

Hi,
I am using a variable for 'Posting Period' of type 'User defined values' defined in my Planning Area . I am able to input a range of values like 1-3, 1-12, 5-10 etc.
But, my problem is that, when I have to give one value, ie 1-1 or 5-5, I am not allowed. Its gives a message that upper limit should be greater than the lower limit. Any suggestions?
Is there a way, to define a variable in such a way that it can accept both ranges and single values?
Regards,
Srinivas Kamireddy.
Edited by: Srinivas Kamireddy on Apr 1, 2008 8:08 PM

Hi,
we have this functionality overall in our system and i have not experienced,
that the system tries to set the upper limit on it's on (why 12 and not for example 13?).
How can you see that the system uses 12 as the upper limit?

BPS: Possible to limit a variable to a single value?

Hello,
I have a BPS variable which is available in the planning folders so the user can change the value himself.
For a planning layout, one and only one value is required, as the system otherwise wouldn't know which value to use when saving data. It is possible though for the user to select both a mix of values and ranges. I see the lowest value is always used. Consequently this is not technically a problem.
I would like to limit the variable to a single value only, in order to not confuse the users. Is this possible?
Best regards,
