Sort by attribute in WAD
Hello,
I would like to create a button in my WebTemplate that should sort the Data Provider by an attribute. For example I would like to sort by post code, which is an attribute of 0customer.
How can I do that?
The command SET_SORTING using SORT_BY_ATTRIBUTE_MEMBER does not seem to work...
Hi Stefan,
I did as you described, but it doesn´t work. Here is my code. What did you enter for INFO_OBJECT_ATTRIBUTE?
<bi:BUTTON type="COMPOSITE" index="1" >
<bi:CAPTION value="PLZ" />
<bi:TOOLTIP value="Sortieren nach Postleitzahl" />
<bi:ACTION type="CHOICE" value="INSTRUCTION" >
<bi:INSTRUCTION >
<bi:SET_SORTING >
<bi:TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST type="ORDEREDLIST" >
<bi:TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF index="1" value="DP_1" />
</bi:TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST>
<bi:CHARACTERISTIC value="0CUSTOMER" text="Kunde" />
<bi:SORTING_TYPE type="CHOICE" value="SORT_BY_ATTRIBUTE_MEMBER" >
<bi:SORT_BY_ATTRIBUTE_MEMBER type="COMPOSITE" >
<bi:INFO_OBJECT_ATTRIBUTE value="0POSTAL_CD" />
<bi:MEMBER_PRESENTATION value="KEY_COMP" />
<bi:PRESENTATION_AREA value="ALL" />
</bi:SORT_BY_ATTRIBUTE_MEMBER>
</bi:SORTING_TYPE>
</bi:SET_SORTING>
</bi:INSTRUCTION>
</bi:ACTION>
</bi:BUTTON>

DOM, and (not) sorting by Attribute name
I'm using XML files to store certian options for a program I'm making. The only problem though is that it seems as though the NamedNodeMap you get from calling node.getAttributes has the attributes in sorted order.
Namely it's sorted alphabetically.
This is not at all what I would like, it's pretty important that the attributes be in the order I wrote them, not sorted.
Is there another way I can do this?
I could always just have a text entry for the Attribute types, like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
AttributeType_1, AttributeType_2
<whatever AttributeType_1="whatever" AttributeType_2>
#And so on.
</root>
Or I could do any number of variations on that theme.Here is some source code.

hi
How do we control the sorting of article attributes in a web template?
At the moment we can choose to add any of the article attributes to the report, but they are not sorted in any decent manner, which makes scrolling them to find the required attribute quite tedious.
There is no sort icon in the attribute selection screen.
Is there possibly something we can do on the backend to force them to be sorted alphabetically?
Cheers,
AndrewHi Lewis,
Attribute is the further explanation of Charateristic in the report. You can only sort based on the characteristics not based on Attribute. There is no setting in query designer or template to acheive this.
You can not even filter attribute in the query. It is only for display purpose to explain the characteristics in more detail.

Enhance Context Menu Attributes in WAD
Hi All,
Iam trying to enhance the context menu properties (like including a select filter value using MENU_SELECT_FILTER)of the Web Application in WAD but when enter this in the HTML and give a value to it in the Template Properties Object tag its not getting saved when i try to execute it the command is getting erased. could any one let me know whether iam including the attribut in between the right object tag. i would really appreciate where i need to correct.
Thanks,
Padmahi Padma,
if you want to include select filter value in enhanced menu, the tag is like following
<object>
<param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
<param name="CMD" value="SET_PROPERTIES"/>
<param name="TEMPLATE_ID" value=""/>
<param name="MENU_SELECT_FILTER" value="E"/>
TEMPLATE PROPERTIES
</object>
or you can set from web template properties, tab 'web item', section 'entries in context menu' -> 'select filter value', choose option 'enhanced menu'.
if you want to add menu, sample tag
<object> <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"> <param name="CMD" value="SET_PROPERTIES"> <param name="TEMPLATE_ID" value="ZGDCONTEXTMENU"> <param name="CMENU_LABEL_1" value="Search_Google"> <param name="CMENU_FUNCTION_1" value="myMenuProcessor"> <param name="CMENU_PARAMETER_1" value="1"> <param name="CMENU_CELL_TYPE_1" value="CHARACTERISTIC_VALUE"> <param name="CMENU_FILTER_1" value="0D_SOLD_TO"> <param name="CMENU_VISIBILITY_1" value="X"> <param name="CMENU_POSITION_1" value="BOTTOM"> <param name="CMENU_LABEL_2" value="Help@SAP"> <param name="CMENU_FUNCTION_2" value="myMenuProcessor"> <param name="CMENU_PARAMETER_2" value="2"> <param name="CMENU_CELL_TYPE_2" value=""> <param name="CMENU_FILTER_2" value=""> <param name="CMENU_VISIBILITY_2" value="X"> <param name="CMENU_POSITION_2" value="BOTTOM"> TEMPLATE PROPERTIES </object>

Abap- XML: sorting of attributes
Hi,
I would like to create an XML-File from ABAP.
This still works fine.
There's only one problem: the sorting of the output-XML-file is not like the sorting at the XSLT.
Here's the part of the coding of the transformation:
<xsl:element name="PERSON">
<xsl:attribute name="Personennr"><xsl:value-of select="PARTNR_--40ADRNR" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="PersArtCd"><xsl:value-of select="PARTTYPE" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="LandesCd"><xsl:value-of select="COUNTRY" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="PLZ"><xsl:value-of select="POSTCODE" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="Ort"><xsl:value-of select="CITY" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="Strasse"><xsl:value-of select="STREET_NO" /></xsl:attribute>
The output looks like this:
<PERSON LandesCd="A" Ort="WIEN" PLZ="1010" PersArtCd="X" Personennr="000123456" Strasse="STREET. 1">
I want to have the field "Personennr" at first position and the sorting as in the XSLT respectively.
Any ideas??
Best regards,
WolfgangHi Wolfgang,
I receive attributes in the listed order, unsorted, only with crazy tricks...
<i><u>Either using names with leading spaces:</u></i><pre>
<xsl:attribute name=" Personennr"><xsl:value-of select="PARTNR_--40ADRNR" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name=" PersArtCd"><xsl:value-of select="PARTTYPE" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name=" LandesCd"><xsl:value-of select="COUNTRY" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name=" PLZ"><xsl:value-of select="POSTCODE" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name=" Ort"><xsl:value-of select="CITY" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="Strasse"><xsl:value-of select="STREET_NO" /></xsl:attribute> </pre>
<u><i>or using different namespaces for each attribute:</i></u><pre>
<xsl:attribute name="Personennr" namespace="1"><xsl:value-of select="PARTNR_--40ADRNR" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="PersArtCd" namespace="2"><xsl:value-of select="PARTTYPE" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="LandesCd" namespace="3"><xsl:value-of select="COUNTRY" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="PLZ" namespace="4"><xsl:value-of select="POSTCODE" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="Ort" namespace="5"><xsl:value-of select="CITY" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="Strasse" namespace="6"><xsl:value-of select="STREET_NO" /></xsl:attribute> </pre>
Of course, it contradicts the W3C standards and common sense and the first trick doesn't work with IE or other XSLT processors, except SAP's XSLT_TOOL and CALL TRANSFORMATION...
Best regards,

Xsl:sort order attribute value template
I am trying the use the following in XDB 10.1.0.2
<xsl:sort order="{$myOrder} ...
It appears that the order attribute does not allow an attribute value template.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
AnthonyThis is known bug 1798018 in the Oracle XSLT processor.
The only workaround I can think of is to use <xsl:choose> to optionally use different <xsl:for-each> blocks, one with order="ascending" and one with order="descending" as literal values. -
How to sort AET attribute???????
Hi Friends,,
I am having one attribute EXT.ZFLD000008( AET attribute).. This attribute is available in the root context node BUILCONTACTPERSON... But it is not available in the BOL stucture ( in genil_model_editor if we check the attribute stucture means there we cannot able to find this attribute)
Get_xxx method of the attribute has some validation and holds value each and every roundtrip...
Now my question is..
I have to sort the value of this attribute...Basically get_xxx method will trigger every round trip...
I need to collect all the values in to buffer to perform sorting
How can i store the value in buffer ??? Where I can write logic to perform the sorting...????
Thanks in Advance..
MOHAMED ANSARIHi Srinivas,
Get_XXX attribute is round Trip Method..
This Get Triggerd one by one..
And Get_XXX is last method which is getting called
doubt:1
if I call manually like this in the any method say DO_init_context or Do_prepare_output means
Call Method me->(lv_getter)
Again the same GET_XXX will get triggered in last also..
doubt 2:
ev_bol_attribute_name
and ev_path_2_sub_object will imports what?????????
Important question
me->collection_wrapper->sort()..
in the above sort method u r passing attribute..
Here my bol enity doesnot have that attribute.. Now how I will do sort operation????
More over I am not using the table View here
Thanks for ur Reply.. Guide me now.. -
Does anyone know how to take advantage of adf/uix built in sorting for view objects that contain only transient fields? For example, when I build a view object that references an entity object, sorting (via a uix table tag) works great. However, when using a view object with only transient attributes, sorting does not work through a uix table. Any ideas would really be appreciated...
FYI,
I've figured this out for anyone that sees this post in the future. Here's how to do it.
1 Open the transient view object in the view object editor (by double-clicking on the view object).
2 Select Java.
3 Press the Class extends button.
4 For Object, browse to the following class: SortableTransientViewObject (see below for implementation)
5 Press OK.
6 Select Attributes.
7 For each attributes:
1. Select the "Selected in Query" property.
2. Copy the exact name of the attribute to the query column alias field.
8 Press OK.

Sort dimension attributes then show folder
I have an dimension as below where i have created an folder for Spanish fields and rest attributes are non foldered.
i want to sort the dimension attributes then show the folder attributes.
ie:
Customer
Customer Key
Education
Gender
Material Status
Spanish Fields
ShanmugaRajHi Shanmuga,
Generally, all the folders will display on the above of dimension attributes, all the folders and attributes are listed in alphabetical order, we can sort one property members' sequence, but there is no build-in feature to sort all properties' sequence,
if you want to sort the properties at your will, you have to add some prefix to property's name using the letter. However, you want to display attributes first and then folders, right? I am afraid this requirement cannot be achieved.
However here I still would recommend you to submit a feedback to Microsoft Connect at this link at this link
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback This connect site is a connection point between you and Microsoft. Your feedback enables Microsoft to make software and services the best that they
can be, Microsoft might consider adding this feature in the following release after official confirmation.

Filter and Sort Transient Attribute from Query Panel
Jdev 11.1.1.3
Hello,
i am not able to filter a transient attribute from the standard query panel (with result table).
I did following things:
-Call an Initial AppMod Service Method from my Bounded Task Flow, and fill the Transient Attribute with some values (with setter method)
-Next, call the Page with following characteristics:
I defined a custom View Criteria with particular Bind Variables, take as query execution mode = In Memory and activate the Auto Query Flag
Drag and Droped this Criteria from Conroll Panel on the Page as Query Panel with Table
In Page Data Binding Definition, i set the InitialQueryOverridden Flag to true, otherwise no data will be filled in the transient attribute
The sort and filter works only for the Database Attributes.
Has anyone an Idea, how to keep same behavior for the trans attr.?
Thank You!
(Note: When i set the Query Mode (after init Call) to vo.setQueryMode(ViewObject.QUERY_MODE_SCAN_VIEW_ROWS), then the sorting of Trans Attr is working fine.
But the filtering is not working well: Lets say a filtering is done by the Trans Attribute and we get 3 Rows. But when all rows wanted to be retrieved again, only those 3 are available then, no chance to get all rows back)Hi,
assuming that sorting and filtering are similar, have a look here

MDX query to retrieve Leaves sorted by attribute bypassing the parent order
Hi there,
I have a Dimension with a hierarchy as:
Country -> Area -> Location
Location is sorted based on a Attribute called Rank based on a column in the dimension table that has a predefined value per location. In short, Location attribute has the property OrderByAttribute set to Rank.
When I used Location attribute directly on the reports it is correctly displayed sorted by Rank.
I am building some dashboards in Performance Point, and the problem I have is that I have to used the Hierarchy above to pull the Locations into the row axis of a Scorecard and the Locations are shorted by Rank but taking into account the Area in which they
are:
So using the Hierarchy I am getting:
Location1
Location2
Location3
Location4
When I would like to get:
Location3
Location1
Location4
Location2
I know that this is correct when thinking on the Hierachy structure, but as I am forced to display the Locations from the Hierarchy but sorted purely by their Rank, I would need a MDX query that returns the Leaves (Location) of the hierarchy order by Rank
without taking into account the area.
Could anyone help me with that?
Thanks and best regards,
JossYou could write a query something like this:
SELECT {MEASURES.MYMEASURE} ON 0,
ORDER([MYDIMENSION].[MYHIERARCHY].[LOCATION].MEMBERS, [MYDIMENSION].[MYHIERARCHY].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("Rank", TYPED), BDESC) ON 1
FROM MYCUBE

Sort of attributes objects in master data
Hi,
I have a question regarding the attributes of master data info objects.
What is the best way to sort the order of the info objects attributes?
We want the order of the attributes will be set in our local language alphabetically,
and not as a defualt language as set now in English.
The order of the attributes as showen in the WEB (as set on local language) is not alphabetically.
Thanks,
YossiI'm going to make some assumptions:
1) The Attribute key values are written in your language's Latin equivalents, but you want to sort them by your language's alphabetic order.
2) The Attributes have not text in your language
Create a data source from your master data values into master data text, hard coding your language set. Set the Attributes in your query to display text, not key values.
Good luck,

Hi,
If I read in an xml document and subsequently interrogate one of the Element nodes in the document to discover the attribute list is there anyway of preserving the order that the attributes are specified in the dtd?
At the moment the attributes seem to be sorted in the order they are specified provided that they have a value.
Any attributes without a specified value appear to be stored after those with a value.Yes, that is what I mean. I want to do that because the data is updatable from a gui and it would be nice to have associated attributes displayed close together.
An example (probably a poor one ;-) ) would be having an address element with housename, street, city, county attributes. It woud look silly if the gui asked for the attribute data in a (city, street, county,housename) order. I realise that I can code the order into the gui, but it is a dynamic, flexible gui and it would be handy if the there was someway of sorting the attributes in the Document api. From your answer I can see that I have to do it myself. Drat ;-( -
Attribute sort of characteristic
Is it possible to create a sort, or custom sort, of a characteristic's attributes within Analysis? We are seeing that the sequence between BEx and Analysis characteristics is very different. We have a requirement that these be the same for a few reports.
Can characteristic sorting be forced from BEx into Analysis? Note: in BW we are getting the correct sequencing/sorting of attributes.I think the description is clear; but I don't think this is possible with Analysis Office
If you want this functionality, I recommend turning the attribute characteristic into a navigation one on the backend of BW - of course this would require some BW development
