Table name changed in Reports 3.0

My DBA asked me to change the table name from SA_AWARDS to SAFETY_AWARDS.
I had already developed a report using table name SA_AWARDS.
When I change the table name in my report to SAFETY_AWARDS, I get compilation errors.
How can I fix it ?
Thanks.
Suresh

Hi
As i understand your problem , you have changed the table name in the query wizard and then tried to compile and it is giving errors ....
well anytime you modify the sql (even add a space) the column names are renamed ... ie if you originaly had column Customer_name it would be renamed as customer_name1 ....
now if in the original report you are using the columns for any computation etc it will not find the old column and will give compilaiton errors .... one way is to change the column names back to original names ... or better modify the sql once more by adding space and you will get back the original names most of the times .....
the best way to avoid this is give alias name in the sql first time around , so it dosnt create problems ....
once you take care of this i think your problem should be solved .....
if not do let me know in more detail

Column name changed in reports

I have to do some changes on my existing report, its really a complex report with more number of columns and tables. now its really hard to fix the alias name changed by report builder automatically. any one could help me to fix this problem, means what i have alias name in query that i want to use in report.

Hi,
Could you pl clarify the Q? Do you mean that Reports Buider has automatically added an alias to a column name? This is not expected.
Or do you mean that you need to change the alias of the column without disturbing the report definition? You can alter the data model of the report using the feature "Customization at runtime using XML". For more information, refer to Chapter 16 in Publishing Reports Manual for 10g:

SAP BW structure/table name change issue with BODS Jobs promotion

Dear All, One of my client has issue with promotion of BODS jobs from one environment to another. They move SAP BW projects/tables along with BODS jobs (separately) from DEV to QA to Prod.
In SAP-BW the structures and tables get a different postfix when they are transported to the next environment. The promotion in SAP-BW (transport) is an automated process and it is the BW deployment mechanism that causes the postfixes to change. As a result with the transport from Dev to QA in SAP-BW we end up with table name changes (be they only suffixes), but this does mean that when we deploy our Data Services jobs we immediately have to change them for the target environments.
Please let me know if someone has deployed some solution for this.
Thanks

This is an issue with SAP BW promotion process. SAP BASIS team should not turn on setting to suffix systemid with the table names during promotion.
Thanks,

How Discoverer Reports cope with table name changes

I want to change the name of an oracle table that is queried by a number of Discoverer reports owned by various users.
I have been told that Discoverer might have the smarts to handle this without manual intervention of users having to open their reports and repoint them to the new tablename. Would someone be able to enlighten me?

Thanks Guys for help.
Additionally I'd like to add for the purpose of the name change is business driven and therefore it is important that business (report writers) see the new name so.....
For each simple folder in the EUL there are there 3 attributes you need to be aware of:
(1) Folder Name (the name as seen in Discoverer)
(2) Identifier
(3) Physical Database Object name
(1) and (2) are used by a Disco workbook to resolve back to the physical object name.
Therefore, you can change either (1) or (2) [but not both] and still have the workbook resolving back to the physical object name on the folder (ie (3)).
In summation, I changed (1) and (3) while leaving (2) unchanged to resolve the whole glorious mess....

Table Name-Changes in SO

Dear All,
As we all know that any changes done in Sales order, we can see them by going to Va02-->Environment -->Changes...
According to our client's requirement, we need to generate a report which can show all the changes done to a SO. For this I want to know the TABLE name in which the changes that we have done to the SO are going to be stored.(Kindly let me know if there is any Standard Report exists in SAP R/3 for this kind of requirement)
Points assured for Helpful answers

Database "TABLE" name change is NOT reflecting on Designer Security

Hi all members,
version: BOXI 3.1
I have change the table name in my Database for some particular reason.
After changing the name from "A_Table" to "B_Table" it is updating the objects "select" information correctly by itslef. BUT for security in (Manage Access Rights) old Table name is showing.
Manaul correction is the only way for it? Can this be updated automatically.
What is the way to achieve it through SDK.
Kindly any member guide me.
I have number of tables to change and each have number of securities applied in universe.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Izhar

Universe access security is encapsulated separate from the Universe unv itself.
Rather, it's a SI_KIND='Overload' InfoObject instance, accessible using the BusinessObjects Enterprise SDK.

Table Name to take report of Open Sales Order items&its relevant GL Number.

Hi,
I wanted to take a report with Output as Open Sales Order Items and its relevant GL account numbers. is there any T Code in the Standard or atleast the table name.
I have already fetched the Open Sales Order Items from T code VA05, but i need the relevant GL account numbers also.
Any pointers on this will be appreciable.
Rgds,

Hi
There are no standard reports where in you can fetch the data of the open sales order items and its G/L accounts with the output. But by creating your own report using LIS then it is possible

Handling table name changes

Hi,
Because of a change in naming convention, all our source table names are changing (only the prefix: The rest of the name and the table structures will remain the same). We already have developed a significant number of OWB mappings based on the old naming convention. What is the OWB equivalent of doing a global search replace of table names ? Is there a script available for doing this ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Biswa.

The name changing part should be relatively simple to handle. I have included a script that should do the renaming with the prefix 'WH_'. The reconcile will have to be done by you. The script should go something like this (please test your scripts in a test environment as I will not provide support for this).

Passing table name to a report.

I am designing an application that will draw data from any of a number of different tables (all with different data formats, but the same column names), and wish for this data to be displayed in a report. In the table that contains the selection criteria, I have included columns for schema name and table name. How can I pass these values into the report, and in turn, into a graph?
I've tried this, but it doesn't work.
SELECT data_column FROM
:schema_column.:data_column;

HI ,
the table name can be easily passed on to the sql use lexicaly parameter as below
SELECT data_column FROM
&table_name where &where_clause
once you write this query it will give you a message that a bind variable was created . Now you can assign value to this through parameter form or write a code in the after parameter form trigger and also generate the where clause if required .
do you have same column name in different tables with different data types ?? if so then i really dont know how to solve this problem other wise it should not be a problem

Admin advice: table name changes, etc.

Our Discoverer system is still evolving and there are instances when a change, say to a table name that users have build workbooks on, is required. Is there a way to scan the workbooks and make this change for the users?

Hi
No, this is not possible. You have to be extremely careful making changes to an EUL after workbooks exist. Mind you, just because you change a table name does not mean you need to change the folder name or identifier. You can change the table pointer without making any other changes, so long that is that the new table has the same data items and data types as the original. If it doesn't you could be in deep trouble.
As a note, you do need to make sure that you correctly maintain both the folder name and the folder identifier and not allow these to take generic names and defaults such as NEWFOLDER1 etc. This is bad EUL design and you will end up with issues in the future.
If you have a copy of my Oracle Discoverer 10g Handbook, available from good bookstores or amazon.com via http://learndiscoverer.com/books/books.htm, take a look at chapters 17 and 18 which describe in detail how to get going in and maintain business areas. In particular, pages 640 and 641 cover folder management and discuss the impact of changing names and / or identifiers.
I hope this helps
Best wishes

How to display a table name in the report

Hi,
I have a requirment about the display of pivot table. When we drag a column to see its result, we always see his column name, now what I want to show are both table name and column name..
like:
District_D
Region District
China Beijing
India Chennai
Regards,
Anne
Edited by: anne on Oct 25, 2011 2:39 AM

Hi Anne,
If you want to implement Dpka's solution (hardcoding table and column values in column heading and add line break in between), you will need to add the below entry in instanceconfig.xml file. Refer http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/hardenxss
<HardenXSS>false</HardenXSS>
This will enable the HTML elements to be treated as HTML and not plain text. After adding the above entry in the xml, restart your presentation services and test your solution.
Thanks

How to use table name dynamically in report procedure

Hello every body
I want to use table name dynamically means at runtime i want to pass table name.
I can do this by lexical parameter in main query.
But my problem is that i want to crate new format trigger or new function that use 1 cursor in which that lexical parameter : table name is used.
so how to do that?
i can not use that lexical parameter it is giving error.
please help me how to do that.

Call a database function which you pass the lexical parameter. Then in the database function you use dynamic sql or the execute immediate option to build the SQL string.
Return the information from this function to build your business logic on in your format trigger.

Table name change in procedure dynamically

create table tab1(x number);
create table dynamic_table (x number);
insert into tab1 values (1);
insert into dynamic_table values (1);
commit;
create procedure proc1
is
v_x number;
begin
execute immediate 'create table mytab
as select tab1.*
from tab1, tabc
where tab1.x = dynamic_table.x';
end;
begin
proc1;
end;
/dynamic_table --> should be dynamically replaced in the procedure
There are two more tables in this scenario - tabe and tabf, In the above procedure, I have to dynamically replace dynamic_table first with tabe, call it, then then replace with tabf and execute procedure again
Is there a way I can do that ? any dynamic sql that will prompt me to call proc1 twice, 1st time replace dynamic_table with tabe, then with tabf
the structure of tabe and tabf is the same, I am currently passing a parameter to the procedure and replacing dynamic_table with the input parameter, and then
calling the procedure twice by passing the table names, wanted to follow a better approach
Currently, I am doing somethig like this:
create procedure proc1 (i_param in varchar2)
is
v_x number;
begin
execute immediate 'create table mytab
as select tab1.*
from tab1, tabc
where tab1.x = i_param.x';
end;
begin
proc1('tabe');
proc1('tabf');
end;
/

Why are you trying to do this?
Good database design practice means that you don't create tables dynamically within your code.
Why do you have tables of the same structure with different names?
Dynamic table names are not a good idea because it means all your code has to be dynamic.
So whilst it's perfectly possible to do what you are asking, showing you how to do it would be like me showing you how to fly a plane into the ground, i.e. not something that's clever or wise.
So, better you explain what problem you are trying to solve rather than ask us how to improve on the poor code you are already trying to do.
