Supply variables to Infospokes

Hi,
  I need to supply variables dynamically to the selection tab of infospokes. Is there a way to do it using an ABAP program or a function module?
Thanks,
Suma.

Suma,
If you dont mind, Can you tell me how you solved it?
Thanks,

  • Query migration - Variable error

    Hi,
      I'm trying to migrate this query from 3.5 to 7.0 when I get the follwoing error.
    SAP Supplied variable 0S_CTELM(Campiagn Element). I'm using this to restrict a characteristic "Campaign". There is a hierarchy that needs to be in place.
    THis query does not throw any errors in 3.5. I'm also able to execute it in both 3.5 and 7.0 Analyzers.
    However, when I check the query in 7.0 designer, I get the following error.
    [E026(R9E)] Errors: Default Values 'Drilldown characteristic' 'Campaign' are not permitted for display hierarchy '[Hierarchy Name]'.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    S Gopalan

    Maybe there was no key date set for your query in the query properties.

  • Generating a report from RTF template using WSDL from ADF

    Hi,
    I am a newbie to ADF-BIP integration.
    I am using the wsdl http://<<ip>>:<<port>>/xmlpserver/services/PublicReportService?WSDL for generating a report from RTF Template in ADF.
    We are using Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Release 11g (11.1.1) and JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.5.0).
    I have a couple of merge variables in my RTF template and I am passing these variable using Report Request parameters.
    below is code I added for creating the report request.
    First I created publicReportService using webservice proxy.
        public static ReportRequest getReportRequestFromBIPWithTemplate(String reportFolderOnBIP,
                                                            String reportName,
                                                            String outputFileFormat,
                                                            String template,
                                                            HashMap params) {
          String reportAbsolutePath = reportFolderOnBIP + "/" + reportName + ".xdo";
          ReportRequest repRequest = new ReportRequest();
          System.out.println("report path:  " + reportAbsolutePath);
          repRequest.setReportAbsolutePath(reportAbsolutePath);
          repRequest.setAttributeTemplate(template);
          repRequest.setAttributeFormat(outputFileFormat);
          repRequest.setAttributeLocale("en-US");
          repRequest.setSizeOfDataChunkDownload(-1);
          System.out.println(params.size());
          ParamNameValue[] paramNameValue = new ParamNameValue[params.size()];
          ArrayOfParamNameValue arrayOfparamNameValue = new ArrayOfParamNameValue();
          Set set = params.entrySet();
          Iterator iter = set.iterator();
          int i = 0;
          while (iter.hasNext()) {
            Map.Entry me = (Map.Entry)iter.next();
            System.out.println(i + "--->>>" + me.getKey() + " : " + me.getValue());
            paramNameValue[i] = new ParamNameValue();
            paramNameValue.setMultiValuesAllowed(false);
    ArrayOfString values = new ArrayOfString();
    if (me.getValue() == null) {
    values.getItem().add("");
    } else {
    values.getItem().add((me.getValue()).toString());
    paramNameValue[i].setValues(values);
    paramNameValue[i].setName((me.getKey()).toString());
    arrayOfparamNameValue.getItem().add(paramNameValue[i]);
    i++;
    repRequest.setParameterNameValues(arrayOfparamNameValue);
    return repRequest;
    I generated report response bytes using below code
    {code:java}
    repRes = publicReportService.runReport(repReq,userID,password);
    reportStream = repRes.getReportBytes();I could see the generated PDF but the supplied variables are NOT reflected in place of merge variables.
    Ex: In template
    Welcome, <<merge variable, userName>>
    {code}
    Generated PDF should have
    {code:java}
    Welcome, Hello World
    {code}
    Instead of the above I am getting
    {code:java}
    Welcome,
    {code}
    I am looking for a suggestion, Please help me in this regard.
    Thanks,

  • Missing script in APEX 3.1 installation

    I have been trying for almost 2 weeks to get APEX 3.1.1 installed on two different Linux servers. In one case, it's a fresh install on 10g Release 2. The other is an upgrade from APEX 2.x on 10g EX.
    Yesterday, I began opening the scripts one at a time in SQL Developer and running them individually supplying variable values when necessary, in order to determine where the install was failing. (OK, I'm a masochist.)
    After several hours I discovered that the script WWV_FLOW.sql in the CORE directory was zero bytes. Later when the script attempts to compile packages that are dependent on this script, they fail.
    I've tried re-downloading the ZIP file several times to one of 3 different computers, all with the same zero byte file.
    Can someone suggest a resolution to this?

    Regarding the install failing - the script exited before it was complete, usually somewhere in step IV. The error message given was that an object didn't exist. I think it might have been a package.
    Anyway, after reading more I determined that the combination of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, Oracle 10g, and APEX 3.1 weren't going to work without a lot more time than I had to give. So since it was an empty database and I had nothing to lose but more time, I installed 11g. That installation was fine, and from what I can tell, installation of APEX 3.1 went well also...
    EXCEPT
    I'm unable to login to APEX or the APEX_ADMIN. My browser presents me with a login dialog - not the APEX login page - and every combination of user names and passwords I've tried do not work.
    My current theory is there should be an entry for the XDB in the Listener configuration, but there isn't and I haven't yet found a description of how to add it.

  • Absolute paths to eclipse project root? Why?

    I am a dedicated follower of the Flex and related technologies since its first appearance (some years back, Flex 1.5)
    Flash Builder (formerly Flex Builder) back then (version 2) seemed to have a problem with paths relative to project location.
    More precisely, parts of generated projects always point to absolute locations either inside or outside the eclipse project workspace.
    Unfortunately, the problem still persists. In the past I had reported this issue (long time to remember/extract details now) but without success as it seems.
    This is very important for projects intended to be developed by more than one persons (different development machines, different paths etc.)
    for an example, with Flash Builder 4, create a new Flex project (Web), activate WTP integration, complete project generation and then check files
    .actionScriptProperties and .flexProperties
    you will observe absolute path references to essential files
    here is an example of my .actionScriptProperties
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
    <actionScriptProperties mainApplicationPath="Main.mxml" projectUUID="43b42874-f3f0-4b6b-932c-6a1d4e492b56" version="6">
    <compiler additionalCompilerArguments="-services &quot;D:/eclipse-win32/workspace/net.eliasbalasis.flex.web.sample/WebContent/WEB-INF/flex/services-config.xml&quot; -locale en_US" autoRSLOrdering="true" copyDependentFiles="true" fteInMXComponents="false" generateAccessible="true" htmlExpressInstall="true" htmlGenerate="true" htmlHistoryManagement="true" htmlPlayerVersionCheck="true" includeNetmonSwc="false" outputFolderPath="bin-debug" sourceFolderPath="flex_src" strict="true" targetPlayerVersion="0.0.0" useApolloConfig="false" useDebugRSLSwfs="true" verifyDigests="true" warn="true">
    <compilerSourcePath/>
    <libraryPath defaultLinkType="0">
    <libraryPathEntry kind="4" path="">
    <excludedEntries>
    <libraryPathEntry kind="3" linkType="1" path="${PROJECT_FRAMEWORKS}/libs/flex.swc" useDefaultLinkType="false"/>
    </excludedEntries>
    </libraryPathEntry>
    <libraryPathEntry kind="1" linkType="1" path="flex_libs"/>
    <libraryPathEntry kind="3" linkType="1" path="D:/eclipse-win32/workspace/net.eliasbalasis.flex.web.sample/WebContent/WEB-INF/flex/libs/fds.swc" useDefaultLinkType="false"/>
    <libraryPathEntry kind="3" linkType="1" path="D:/eclipse-win32/workspace/net.eliasbalasis.flex.web.sample/WebContent/WEB-INF/flex/libs/player/playerfds.swc" useDefaultLinkType="false"/>
    <libraryPathEntry kind="1" linkType="1" path="D:/eclipse-win32/workspace/net.eliasbalasis.flex.web.sample/WebContent/WEB-INF/flex/locale/{locale}"/>
    </libraryPath>
    <sourceAttachmentPath/>
    </compiler>
    <applications>
    <application path="Main.mxml"/>
    </applications>
    <modules/>
    <buildCSSFiles/>
    </actionScriptProperties>
    here is a copy of my .flexProperties
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
    <flexProperties enableServiceManager="false" flexServerFeatures="6" flexServerType="8" flexWarLocation="D:/lcds/lcds.war" serverContextRoot="/WebContent" serverRoot="D:/eclipse-win32/workspace/net.eliasbalasis.flex.web.sample/WebContent" serverRootURL="http://localhost:8400/net.eliasbalasis.flex.web.sample" toolCompile="true" useServerFlexSDK="false" version="2"/>
    D:/lcds/lcds.war i suspect is fine because it is the location of the LiveCycle Data Services WAR used to create the project (it is external anyway)
    However, D:/eclipse-win32/workspace/net.eliasbalasis.flex.web.sample/WebContent is not fine at all. It is a location inside the project workspace. It should be referenced using some kind of variable, similarly to ${PROJECT_FRAMEWORKS} above.
    I observed that there is a variable ${DOCUMENTS} under Eclipse-->Preferences-->Workspace-->Linked Resources which references the Eclipse project workspace root (extremely convenient).
    Unfortunately, it seems that this variable can only be used within the context of other eclipse configuration files like .project and .classpath but not within the context of .actionScriptProperties and .flexProperties
    This is the same exact issue I reported in the past (see above)
    Flex Builder/Flash Builder family of products are the only Eclipse Based tools I have so far worked with that have such a big trouble handling file path locations relative to eclipse workspace root
    OOPS. CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG PLEASE.
    I just replaced the eclipse workspace root with ${DOCUMENTS} and the project still compiles and generates deployment packages successfully.
    Perhaps the "Linked Resources" variables work in the context of flex configuration files.
    However I am not 100% sure.
    Please verify or otherwise provide a solution, as I am ready to select Flex technology products for the development of a new quite complex, multi developer, large scale system and this will be the only reason making me consider abandoning Flex and use other technology products

    I loooove Eclipse for reason.
    Yes, you are right, use of variables is great thing.
    However, there are 2 ways
    1.
    Use all paths relative to Eclipse workspace root. No absolute paths anywhere and No variables.
    2.
    Use tool-supplied variables (like ${DOCUMENTS} supplied by FB4 plugin pointing to Eclipse document root)
    However, although the variable is supplied by FB4 plugin, when a project is generated its files still contain absolute path references
    I had to manually introduce the ${DOCUMENTS} variable in project files discovering that variables work in the context of FB4 plugin project files.
    In earlier versions of FB plugin variables where not processed.
    Congratulations FB4 team, you saved the day.
    All I am saying is that there shouldn't be absolute paths in generated FB project files. Replacing manually currently works but it is not the easiest thing for all users. I happened to know where to look. Others may not.
    I believe FB team has to consider making actual use of the supplied variables in next version of FB (or alternatively, not use variables at all)
    p.s.
    You will love Eclipse, trust me :-)

  • Is there a way to allow multiple file downloads..

    with 1 click? Instead of clicking "download to" for each file.
    I have a page that will query a db with the user supplied variable and return several (10 or more) files on a page which displays the return values as links that launches the download dialog box when clicked. Is there a way to have only 1 download dialog box that will allow the user to determine where to save the files to, and begin downloading all 10+ files in succession without user intervention? Or possibly a script that will run winzip on all of the files that the user checked and when the user selects download to, the script zips the files and begins downloading the .zip file.
    TIA!!

    Well... no and possibly. In general, I would say that this is not possible from one link, short of concatenating the files into one, but that would require the user to split them later. Obviously not what you want.
    I think you could mimic this by creating a page with frames, where one frame is really small. And use JavaScript or META refresh tags in the larger area to set the source of the small frame to the file you want download. You do this after a few seconds delay to get each next file, so that it gives the user time to do a save as. Of course, this could end up being a headache for the user if they aren't fast enough or if your next file comes too fast. So I would recommend not bothering.

  • CO-PA Planning Layout

    Hi Gurus,
    I want to create a planning layout where I would have 12 columns for periods and the year selection would be in the header/general selection. But I can put only period/year characteristic so for each year I have to create different layouts? Is there a by-pass?
    Can I create appropriate variables, and how?
    Thanks
    g

    Hi
    It is usually handled this way
    1. You can define 12 columns in your planning layout. In Each column select PERIO as the characteristic. In the 1st column Define a local variable "1" for this PERIO... In the next column, define variable as "11", and then 12 and so on
    You supply variable value for "1" (say 001.2010) from the input screen while uploading the data and the rest of the 11 columns would get automatically derived based on this value.. as 002.2010 for col 2, 003.2010 for column 3 and so on..
    2. In Planning level or package (I dont rem which one exactly), when you set it up - you can include PERIO or fiscal year as a characteristic... Define a variable for this and you need to change the variable value every year before touching the KEPM process
    No need to create a new planning layout every year

    ex: if(this.day == date.day)
    will this work?

  • How to display the records based on user input

    Hi all,
    On the front end, there are two date fileds, for example, start and end. Whenever user enters start date and end date, i want to display those dates starting from start date to
    end date whatever the user enters.
    For example, user enters Start date : 01/15/2012  and End date : 01/19/2012
    I want to display like this *01/15/2012 01/16/2012 01/17/2012 01/18/2012 01/19/2012*
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks,
    Pal

    Hello
    You can generate a range of dates between two supplied variables with something like
    var start_date varchar2(20)
    var end_date varchar2(20)
    exec :start_date:='01/15/2012';
    exec :end_date:='01/19/2012';
    SELECT
        TO_DATE(:start_date,'mm/dd/yyyy') + (rownum-1)
    FROM
        dual
    CONNECT BY
        LEVEL <= (TO_DATE(:end_date,'mm/dd/yyyy') - TO_DATE(:start_date,'mm/dd/yyyy') ) + 1
    TO_DATE(:START_DATE,
    15-JAN-2012 00:00:00
    16-JAN-2012 00:00:00
    17-JAN-2012 00:00:00
    18-JAN-2012 00:00:00
    19-JAN-2012 00:00:00If you want to have them in columns you'd need to set an upper limit for the number of dates and use a pivot
    SELECT
        MAX(CASE WHEN date_idx = 1 THEN dt END) date1,
        MAX(CASE WHEN date_idx = 2 THEN dt END) date2,
        MAX(CASE WHEN date_idx = 3 THEN dt END) date3,
        MAX(CASE WHEN date_idx = 4 THEN dt END) date4,
        MAX(CASE WHEN date_idx = 5 THEN dt END) date5,
        MAX(CASE WHEN date_idx = 6 THEN dt END) date6,

  • How to call a procedure

    Hi,
    I know this a silly question..but i am not getting how to do.
    I have stored procedure with multiple OUT and IN parameters.But i want to use only one parameter to call the procedure, for example:
    create or replace
    PROCEDURE Get_NN_Distance ( nbrid OUT NUMBER
    , nbrTDistOut OUT NUMBER
    , nbrRHouse OUT NUMBER
    , nbrResDist OUT NUMBER
    , nbrBHouse OUT NUMBER
    , nbrBdist OUT NUMBER
    , nbrSIDIn IN NUMBER
    , nbrRefLatIn IN NUMBER
    , nbrRefLonIn IN NUMBER
    , nbrRadius IN NUMBER := 1000 -- Default to 200 ft.
    but i want to use only one parameter nbrSIDIn only.
    this parameter represents SITEID, If we give SITEID we can get LAT,Long for that siteid by using another table: i want to put nbrradius as default:
    how to call the procedure by using only SITEID:
    Can anyone help me in this Plz
    Thanks

    So instead, create a new procedure that serves as a wrapper procedure. Where this provides a single parameter only and makes the call on your behalf using multiple parameters. E.g.
    create or replace procedure Do_NN_Distance( sidIn number ) is
    .. local variables...
    begin
      Get_NN_Distance( 
        nbrSIDIn => sidIn,
        .. other params using local variables...
    end;BTW, I suggest that you reconsider using prefixes like "+nbr+" to indicate data type. Hungarian notation is dead. Especially in a strongly typed language.. especially in a an explicit variable type definition language.
    +"Encoding the type of a function into the name (so-called Hungarian notation) is brain damaged—the compiler knows the types anyway and can check those, and it only confuses the programmer."+

  • APO-DP Functionalities

    Hello
    I have few queries regarding the funcionality of APO-DP, these are as under:
    1)Are we able to do editing unconstrained demand and creating a revised work-in-process forecast while retaining the original unconstrained submission.
    2)Is there functionality available for identifying significant differences for a given month between forecast cycle. Example: January forecast for activity in the month of June vs. February’s forecast for activity in the same month of June.
    3)Is the functionality allows for the creation of a final consensus forecast that accounts for adjustments and constraints.
    4)Is distribution of forecaasts possible.
    5)Is there any functionality that accounts for a sales channel’s historical consumption.
    6)Is the system functionality able to calculate statistically generated forecast suggestions using various models checked for best fit.
    7)Does the system support demand driven replenishment for various inventory stocking points.
    Inputs for DDR should be items like safety stock, demand variability, supply variability, lead time, and lead variability. 
    8)Is the system able to generate report on forecast error and forecast accuracy.

    Hello Jitender -
    I have few queries regarding the funcionality of APO-DP, these are as under:
    1)Are we able to do editing unconstrained demand and creating a revised work-in-process forecast while retaining the original unconstrained submission.
    -- you can have a copy of the original unconstrained demand by saving the results and also you can revise it.
    2)Is there functionality available for identifying significant differences for a given month between forecast cycle. Example: January forecast for activity in the month of June vs. February’s forecast for activity in the same month of June.
    -- You are talking about forecast accuracy report. there is an inbuilt functionality for this report as in where u can show the previous forecast plan for the previous month depending on the business requirement.
    3)Is the functionality allows for the creation of a final consensus forecast that accounts for adjustments and constraints.
    -- It all depends on how you want to do consensus. Get the specific final forecasted KF from all the planning books from the various department into the consensus planning book.(thats one way of doing it)
    4)Is distribution of forecaasts possible.
    -- yes it is. you have to look at the proportional factors that are available and distribute the forecast results accordingly.
    5)Is there any functionality that accounts for a sales channel’s historical consumption.
    -- did not get this? if you are talking about using historical data for forecast purpose yes you can otherwise how are you going to do forecast?
    6)Is the system functionality able to calculate statistically generated forecast suggestions using various models checked for best fit.
    -- depending on the forecast model you chose, the smoothing factors u fill in, the system calculates it behind the scene for you and generates the number for you to view.but you ought to understand the logic as to what kind of calculation is done and how it helps you.
    7)Does the system support demand driven replenishment for various inventory stocking points.
    -- gurus Answer.
    Inputs for DDR should be items like safety stock, demand variability, supply variability, lead time, and lead variability.
    8)Is the system able to generate report on forecast error and forecast accuracy.
    yes the functionality has to be activated.
    Hope this helps.

  • Advanced safety stock Planning -

    Hi,
    Is their any method to do the advanced safet stock planning depending on the stage of Product life cycle.
    i.e. intial stage the safet stock planned should be less, should increase during Maturity stage and should gradually decrease to ero during the decline stage.
    Please respond if anyone has done this in past or if any standard SAP functionality exist for the same.
    Thanks,
    Sanjog

    Hi Sanjog,
    Mainly In DP area Phase-in and Phase -out of the product life cycle are planned. So using the advanced Safety stock planning your safety stock should balance the demand and supply variability.
    Generally if you look your Safety profile, it will be the offset of your demand plan and also in areas where you expect phase-out and spike in demand safety stock will be constant based on the strategy Alpha/Beta you use in advanced safety stock planning.
    Also, I think you shouldn't treat this case anything specific as the KPI's will correct the model you are using anyway, unless the Lifecycle is very short.
    Hope this helps.

  • Infospoke: variable selection ???

    Hello Experts,
    I know you guys should be getting ready for the Long weekend. But just a small refresher. Thanks in advance.
    I have a infospoke and have to pull data according to yesterdays date. I know I can do this in Infopackage but I cannot figure how to do this in infospoke selection criteria.
    Any suggestions appreciated.

    Hi Sweatha,
    one year ago, a SAP document related to OpenHubService showed in the 'OUTLOOK' page these functions (that is all the enhancements planned for the future):
    - Logical file name handling in order to enable full
      access to the file system of the Application Server
    - Variables used in Selection
    - Additional Data Sources like BEx Query and Hierarchies
    - Additional destination formats like ASCII and XML
    - Remote access to external database tables
    - Transformation Library integration for transformations
    - Deltas available for additional Data Sources
    - Integration with 3rd party tools, i.e. Ascential
    As you can see, there will be also the possibility to use variables in selection...but, at this moment, I think is not possible (I don't know what's your release, but if you have 3.0B, you can only use inclusion and exclusion options).
    For your information,starting from 3.5, it will be possible to have variables within file names (e.g. File<date of creation>),folder as destination, logical file names can be transported and used in the target system without a change, integration of 3rd party ETL tools (e.g., Ascential) and loading data from any source system and distributing data out of BW to any target system.
    Hope this helps.
    Bye,
    Roberto

  • Variable power supply not working in virtual elvis

    When i make a virtual elvis 3d schematic i cannot get any output from the variable power source, i have played with it alot and still no output. please help.

    Thank you for your time to help me out,
    I got it to work using the shift+P and shift+n hotkeys. A suggestion I have is to remove the shift restraint for the GUI interface P and N buttons that appear on the screen after you highlight variable power supply, as it is non-intuitive for a user to know you must hold shift then press GUI buttons as well. I suggest coding those visual buttons to alias SHIFT+P and SHIFT+N operations when you click on them for ease of user interface.
