SORT VALUES IN AN INFO OBJECT

Hi -
I am on BW 3.5, wrote a query in BEX, and displayed in Webpage.
On the webpage, there is an info object for Fiscal Year/Period that when you click on the selection button to drill down the variable, it will display values such as 001/2008, 002/2008, 003/2008, etc.
Users wonder if we can sort these values descending so the latest period will show first?
Appreciate any help.
Thanks, Minh Le

Hi
Right click on your infoobject and select properties.
Sorting - select the option as descending.

Manually added Values in the info-object

Hi there,
I have manually added 1 value in the info-object.
But if I view in the P table I am not able to find it.
But I am able to find this value in the SID table.
When I do my dropdown in the query selection screen, it does not show me this value what I manually created and when I just enter this value it gives me error as invalid value.
Please advise.
Many Thanks,
Kate

Hi AHP,
I have done both of them.
But still the same result ? Any further suggestion ?

How to set the Default values for Info Objects in Data Selection of InfoPac

Hi All,
Flat file Extracion:
How to set the Default values for Info Objects in Data Selection Tab for Info Package
ex: Fiscal Year Variant Info Object having values 'K4' 'Y2' etc in Flat file
Initially default value(not constant) for this info Object value should be 'K4' in Info Package
If I set data selection value for this info object K4 it will retreive records with this selection only? how to handle
Rgds,

Hi,
suppose as your ex. if you are having fiscalyear variant in the dataselection tab then specify K4 in the from column, again the ficalyearvariant row and click on insert duplicate row at the bottom . you will get another row . In that enter Y2 in the from column. now you can extract K4, y2 values .

Bex Property of Info object doesn't work when Infoset is Used

Hi,
When I use Business partner info object ( example 0CRM_SALESP or 0BP_ACTIVIT etc) in a query build directly on a ODS(DSO) or infocube, the Bex setting "Query Def Filter Value Selection = Only Values in Info provider" defined in the 'Business Explorer" tab of the infoobject, works perfectly. This means that if the info object has 1 Million records in the master data table, but in the transaction data only 100 are involved, when you define a varialble restriction for the info object , in the selection screen the F4 will only show these 100 data as help.
Although this feature works fine when the query is directly developed ON THE INFO PROVIDER. However when I define a infoset on the same ODS and define a similar query, the F4 value shows all the data from the master data table instead of the ocurance in the transaction data( info provider)..
Is there any way , I can get over this issue.
Thanks
Arunava

Hi,
I guess, I couldn't ecplain the issue properly earlier.
What I am saying that even though I have the proper setting in the BEX tab ("Query Def Filter Value Selection = Only Values in Info provider") for the info object , It behaves differently if the query is defined directly on ODS then on the infoset which is built on top of the ODS.
When the query is build on the ODS the setting works fine
However when the query is defined on the Infoset, the F4 help get the value from the info object master data.
My question is , why this two different behaviour for the same info object? And how do I over conme this to get the same bahavious in info set as of the ODS.
Thanks
Arunava

Info object as Data type as NUMC, master data doesnot store value as 0

Hello All,
I have an Info Object whose data type is NUMC.
It has only text Master Data.
Id and its description are the two fields of that Master data.
Now when below data is feeded in to that infoobject through transformation which has 1 to 1 mapping.
ID              Description
0                Submiited
1                 Approved
2                  cancelled
The data gets uploaded in text table but.
0 ID values turns out to be "       "    blank.
Which is wrong.
Result in Text Master table:
ID                Description
                    Submitted
1                  Approved
2                 Cancelled
if the ID is 0 it should be populated as 0 for "submitted"
No start routine our end routine is ther in the transformation.
Kinldy help me to solve this issue.
Points will be assigned

Hi,
When an InfoObject is created it'll have a blank record, in case of Numc it'll be as shown below:
ID Description
0   Blank
But this 0 gets displayed as blank as well.
When you post transaction/master data you can post it as
0 for Submitted
1 for...
2 for...
When you do reporting on this & if you only select text display only it'll display "Submitted", which is required. But if you display ID & text or only ID. It'll display # instead of 0.
See if you can replace this # with 0.
Mean while i'll be trying to get this solution. I'll post soon if i get the solution.

Iliyas

BPS Web New master data (info object value) added to planning area

Dear all,
I am working with BPS in Web.
Here you can add lines.
Request:
The user wants to add a new value of the lead column, ´
which is not yet active in the master data of the info object envolved here.
He simply wants to enter the new value in the opened new line and the
system should store(add) that value to the master table,
so that he could directly plan KF values to that new line.
I know that we can use FM 'RSDMD_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES_TEXTS'
to post directly new values to the bespoken info object.
Where and how could I add this function to the process.
Note:
It seems that the BSP dispatcher doesn't pass that line
because the "invalid" line is rejected in a step before ??
Many thanks for your help in advance !
regards
Paul

Vlad,
Transaction RSD1 gets you into infoobject maintenance and it more or less equivalent to RSA1 and infoobject althought they have some better listing facilities for infobject in infocubes than RSA1.
Paul,
Are you really sure you want to give your users the ability to create new master data without any validation and potentially compromising your data quality and data integrity?
Sometimes in BPS you have to ask whether or not you should even though you could...

BI end routine at transformation to populate info object by vlookup attribu

Hi ,
I am APO consultant working in Bi routines and I have the follwoing situation and need some guidance in ABAP code (routine) .
We sales info from markets as flat filea snd lod them into cubes. One of the filed is file is External sales Group: ZEXSGRP. This is an attribute or Sales Group info object ZSLSGRP.
We get external sales group populated in file when we upload the file into cube - I want to use end routine to vlook up the info infoobject table ZSLSGRP - all the external sales groups and use the matching value to write Sales Group (ZSLSGRP).Example if ZSLSGRP is NAM and it attribute is ZEXSGRP and has value N0000032. The file gets value N0000032 so the end routine should look all attribute of all infoobject ZSLSGRP and match the value and populate in example above it populates NAM.
Hope i am clear - can any help with this.

Replace your select statement ,
SELECT *
FROM /BIC/PZF31SALOFF
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_tab4.
instead of selecting all the fields , pick only the fields which are required.(one good performance improvement)
SELECT /BIC/PZF31SALOFF comp_code
FROM /BIC/PZF31SALOFF
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_tab4.
Remove the line below , this is not required
MODIFY it_tab4 FROM wa_tab4.

Error when assigning SID while uploading text in the info-object of the DSO

Hi
I have a scenario where I need to extract a char 60 field from R/3 in the DSO.
I have created the info-object which is char 60 which has the master data text activated.
In the DSO transformation I have mapped it to the R/3 field.
While activating the data in DSO its giving the error message
'Value '20 per action plan' (hex. '32302070657220616374696F6E20706C616E') of characteristic'
'Error when assigning SID: Action VAL_SID_CONVERT InfoObject ZRMSD '
How to overcome this issue.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Change the InfoObject for this text so that it will allow lowercase letters. To do this, go into Change mode on the InfoObject, go to the General tab, check the Lowercase letters checkbox and activate the InfoObject. After this has been activated, you can then restart your process and this SID violation error should no longer be thrown for this.
If you don't want to do this, then you can use the TOUPPER formula in the Characteristic Routine, in the Transformation, to change the value of this field contents to uppercase. This can also be done by using an ABAP routine like this:
TRANSLATE column TO UPPER CASE.

Master Data is not appearing in Info Object

Hi Experts,
I have loaded text data from data source 0WS_QUEST_TEXT to info object 0WS_QUEST. While running DTP, Load monitor displays 12 records are added to info object.
Also while activating master data it gives error: "Master data for characteristic 0WS_QUEST already active"
When i select Display Data option by right clicking on Info Object 0WS_QUEST, no data is displayed.
Please let me know whether I am missing any step while loading master data.
Please note that info package has already run and data is there in PSA.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Niranjan

Hi,
Just go to Infoobject and right click and select option maintain master data.
Don't put any value and just execute.since there are only 12 records,it should show all the records .
You can also check text table data by getting inside that object directly or through SE11/SE16 option.
When the records are activated ,it will not activate it again,so it is not error,its just a message.
Let me know if u have any further doubts.
Thanks and regards

Strange behaviour of Removal of Alpha for Info object in Quality system

Strange behaviour of Removal of Alpha for Info object in Quality system as compared to Development system.
Hi,
The data for an info object Key in the DSO was 00000000000000000000000000123. I removed Alpha for the info object and data was corrected to 123 in the DSO in development system.
Now, when i transported the info object without alpha to quality and loaded data into DSO, the data is still the same with leading zeros.
I dont want to write routine to remove leading zeros, as I have values as 0. If i write routine, all zeros will be removed and this will be blank.
Both development and quality have same patches applied and are on same level.
Why is this strange behaviour in quality system...
Any inputs?? please suggest.
Thanks.

Hi,
Did you drop and reload the data after changing the conversion?

How to load Data in Info Object

Hi, i have a info-object Called "TYPE"
the value for this is always going to be "S1".
I dont want to add it manually as i want this data to get filled up automatically when transported.
the other objects i either get it from R/3 data source or Flat file.
Should i use a flat file to load this single data ???
Thanks,
GG

Hello GG NN,
How r u ?
You could do this in the Transfer Rules, Click the EDIT TRANSFER RULES(Triangle with Grid) icon opposite to the InfoObject. It will show some options like InfoObject, Constant, Routine and Formula.
Select Constant and enter the "S1" value and CONTINUE.
SAVE & ACTIVATE the InfoSource.
***No, the source may be anything, the value "S1" will be transferred for this InfoObject by the Transfer Rules.
Best Regards....

Master Data load from Info Object

Hello,
Iam tryting to load masterdata from info object using the standard package in 7.5 NW. My requirement is similar to the scenario 3b in the How to load masterdata doc(to prefix and strip the Compounding obj). This is the ssue i am currently facing.
1. When i validate the transformation file , I get an error saying "Duplicate member id'12345'
2. I have spaces in my node name. How am i supposed to give the technical name in the Member id field of the hiererchy tab in the data manager set selection options.
3. text nodes not getting converted to member values.
note: I am able to get past this with out giving the seletion for the hierarchy in the DM package and running the package succesfully ,but i dont see the text nodes getting converted to member values.
Please provide me some useful insights. had anyone had a similar issue??
Thanks,
Simi

Simi,
Did you checked YES to import the Text Nodes ... and even the Short Text in Language Tab under the SET SELCTION of the info object.
