Time characteristic restriction in BW BPS

Hi to all,
I got one question for BW-BPS. This was happened after upgrade of Netweaver
service pack. Before that it was fine. My question is as follow:
Under DW workbench when I create an InfoProvider which included time dimension
that consist of fiscal year, fiscal year/period, posting period, calendar
year, calender year/ month. I try to select fiscal year, fiscal year/period
under a planning level, then I select unassigned(#) time characteristic for
fiscal year/period and save it. System allow for this restriction under time
characteristic fiscal year/period. However, if I deselect fiscal year, fiscal
year/period under a planning level and select calendar year, calender year/
month under the same planning level, then I select unassigned(#) time
characteristic for calender year/ month and save it. System was not allow for
this restriction for time characteristic and generate the following message:
Message: UPC003- Value# is not permitted for characteristic calendar
year/month.
There was no characteristic relationship set for time dimension
characteristics. I still not understand why system is not allow for
unassigned(#) time characteristic selection for calender year/ month
Therefore, I would like to need a support for this. Is it a system error?

Hi Gupta,
Thanks for your guide. I already try as per your instruction but not work because when I create a planning level with only 0calmonth, system still not allow me to include unassigned (#) for time restriction. May be I could explain to you why I need to select unassigned (#) for 0calmonth.
My explanation is as follows:
Actually I already create a planning level with selected time characteristic calender year only for example Year 2008 and input value. Now I want to distribute the yearly figure to monthly, therefore I need to create another planning level and perform top down distribution. In the top down planning level, I have to select calender year/month for time characteristic and restrict the period to Jan 2008 to Dec 2008 and include unassigned(#) for the purpose of running distribution function.
As I have told you in the earlier note which mentioned that the above task was actually worked in the beginning time before we have upgrade our Netweaver service pack. Unfortunately, it not work anymore after the upgrading of Netweaver .
Do you have any idea regarding the scenario of before and after upgrading of Netweaver. Does it affect the previous settings?
Hope you can help me to find out more on this.
Tq.

BEx Query - Time characteristic Description problem

Hi Guys,
In one of the queries, I have '0I_FPER' as the time-characteristic in the columns section. I have few key figures in my rows section. When i executed the query (filter char. - Fiscal year variant restricted to July - June, 4 special periods i.e. V6), i get separate columns for each month as required. But, the descriptions for the months are July 2005, August 2005 ... June 2005.
They should get displayed as
July, 2004 August 2004 ... June 2005
How do i get the description in the desired format.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys,
I am awaiting a solution. The values are not being filled by any variable. As mentioned before, 0FISCPER has been restricted on 0I_FPER variable. The Fiscal Variant is V6. On execution, the following output appears (with user-entry values for 0FISCPER being 001/2005 - 012/2005):
July 2005 August 2005 ..... June 2005
I am expecting something like
July 2004 August 2004 ..... June 2005
I have problem only with the column description. The data appears correctly. i.e. Data for July 2004 appears correctly but with heading July 2005 instead of July 2004. I created text variables on 0FISCPER for all the months of 2004. But no help.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

How to SAVE a selected Characteristic Restriction

I'm using BW 7.0.
How to save a selected Characteristic Restriction so the next time the user access the report he or she can re-use the saved selection?
For a specific SRM report the user can restrict report result selecting buyers, which can be too many (~200). Its very important that the user does not have to select each one every time he or she access this report.
Any tips?
Thanks in advance.

Time Characteristic selection for FOX

Hello,
I have a requirement where i need to select the time characteristic as it is in the FOX formulae not the variable . Please can anyone help me to do so.
Thanks

Hi,
You can use the time characteristic directly without using variable in the fox.It depend upon your requirement whether you want to loop through it ,read one by one using OBJV(),or perform some operations through TMVL.
For example:-
Time characteristic fisper.
Data L_fisper type 0fiscper.
*Keep it n a fields to be changed if it is changing and you want to use in foreach.
Foreach L_fiscper.
endfor.
If it is not changing like the entire operation has to be performed only with one fiscper value,then use OBJV(),it should not be part of fields to be changed.
L_fiscper = OBJV().
The value of 0fiscper purel depends upon your aggrgation level and filter restriction.

Characteristic Restrictions is not working in Universe

Hi,
I have given some Characteristic Restrictions in query designer's filter tab.But when i created universe on it,its not working here.
Even i have provided condition in SAP BI query,still this is also not working in universe.
CAn you tell me whats going wrong here?
Thanks
Piyush

Hi
what kind of restriction do you apply (constant values, variables, what kind of operator do you use etc)?
Which version of BO do you use?
Conditions defined in thehe query designer are not applied in the universe. This is by design. Characteristic restrictions defined in filter section should work though.

I have already carried out the deletion and automatic repair mentioned in RSCV061 even before posting this question but of no use ( I have shown that also in the figures attached at the posting time.
Reporting is fine. The problem is while loading the data to the cube. The loading is fine till date 30.04.2014 but from the date 01.05.2014. The record is error while updating.
The cube is partitioned from month 01.2008 to 12.2015.

Remodeling a time characteristic in a cube - Doesn't allow??

I have a cube containing time characteristic 0CALWEEK. I would like to use the remodeling toolkit so i can write some custom user exit code to replace the values in this field based on logic. However I am not allowed to select this field!! Why doesn't SAP allow you to remodel (change values) in any of the time characteristics in a cube?? Is there any way around this?
Thanks, Peggy

You are close to my issue. This is a regular basic cube. (no non-cumulative)
It contains snapshots of an 18 month plan (future dates). We have over 2 years of snapshots. Last year the source system sending us the plan data used a calendar that handled the weeks of 2010 differently than the SAP calendar. (SAP buckets the first 10 days of 2010 in week 1; whereas our company only used first 3 days of 2010 as week 1).
Anyway, we have about 100 million records in these snapshots to adjust the calendar week to match up with the SAP calendar week.
All we wanted to do was to use the remodeling toolkit on the 0calweek field and choose "replace characteristic" and populate with a bit of ABAP code. However we are not allowed to pick any time characteristics.
We know we could always use the old standard ways to move data around to dummy cubes and fix, but that takes hours of processing for all the data we have to do. (actually about 10 cubes this size).
So we are testing the remodeling toolkit by adding a new characteristic that "references" ocalweek and using Abap to populate that the way we want. We can move the queries over to the new field. That seems to be working and fast since work is done using Oracle level commands, instead of data packet by data packet.
Do you have any other ideas?
Thanks much!

Setting time access restrictions

I'd like to use time access restrictions to allow access from 7AM to 1AM; but software won't allow. Am I missing something or is it that inflexible? I used to be able to do this without a problem with my Cisco router.

Did you try this?
Develop one rule for access everyday between 7 AM and 11:59 PM
Develop a second rule for access everyday between 12:00 AM and 1:00 AM
Works fine. There will be no break in the connection.

Date time characteristic converted in a string in Universe OLAP

Hi there,
We are facing to the following issue. Maybe one of you has been already facing to.
We have created a BO universe on top of BI queries (based on MDX) and we make WEBI reports.
We note when we update/refresh the OLAP structure, all characteristics (Number and date) are converted/considered as a character and string and we loose in that way the time information.
This is very ennoying when sorting on time dimensions as WEBI can only sort on Alphabetic order.
Indeed, we would like to display the last 13 month of a key figure as from the last month.
As the time characteristic is automatically converted by the Olap refresh structure in a string, we can't display the last 13 months in logical/natural/calendar order.
Ex: NOV 2007 | DEC 2007 | JAN 2008 | FEB 2008 ....DEC 2008
Any idea :
- why the 'Refresh structure' command automatically convert into a string?
- how to force him not to convert to string and keep the date information?
- order date as the logical/natural/calendar one?
Beforehand, thanks a lot

Hi Ingo,
I'm using 0CMonth or 0CALMONTH which are SAP characteristics.
Do you know how to sort data by date and not by string?
When we recuperate infoobejcts from BI queriies, all objects are string and all LOV are sorted by string which don't help us.
imagine we have JAN 1996, JAN 1997,... FEB 1996 etc etc.
A nightmare

Fiscal quarter time characteristic

Hi,
Would you guys know if there is a way to create a new time characteristic "fiscal quarter" and add it to all BW reports automatically?
I do not want to change the transfer rules or update rules because we have many.

Thanks Adam,
I was thinking if I add some ABAP code to the transfer routine at the infoobject level (before the transfer rules). This would apply the changes to all transfer rules. The code would calculate the fiscal quarter based on 0FISCPER3. But I am having trouble accessing 0FISCPER3 characteristic in the new transfer routine I created for the new custom characteristic (in general tab of infoobject).
Basically, the requirement is to add the characteristic 'fiscal quarter' to all reports without having to change each one individually...
Is there any way to change the transfer rules globally?
(PS: I am new to BW)...
Thanks for your help,
Paula

Restrict Time characteristic filter at selection screen

Hi,
I am trying to find out a solution for the below typical requirment which i have in my project.
The scenario is as follow:
I have a BEx report with many characteristics in the selection screen. There are three time characteristics in the selection screen based on which the report can be executed. The three time chars are CALDAY, CALMONTH and CALWEEK. Now the requirement is that we need to provide a functionality to the user to select only one of the three time char i.e. they can either input date filter or month filter or week filter.
If user tries to input filter on more than one time char then he shouldnt be able to execute the report and it should show some kind of message. Also if the user dosent select any one of them it should not run
the report.
Please provide any work around for the same.
Thanks,
Varun

Hi Varun,
Yes this can be acheived by coing the same in the CMOD. Please follow the steps as given below -
Please excuse me if I have done any typo errors -
Goto to CMOD and write a customer exit for i_step = 3 as given below -
IF i_step = 3.
data: count type n.
count = 0.
LOOP at i_t_var_range INTO l_s_var where vnam = 'date_var'
                          OR vnam = 'month_var'
                          OR vnam = 'week_var'.
   count = count + 1.
ENDLOOP.
IF count > 2.                 "this is for multiple time range selection
CALL FUNCTION 'RRMS_MESSAGE_HANDLING'
EXPORTING
I_CLASS = 'RSBBS'
I_TYPE = 'E'
I_NUMBER = '000'
I_MSGV1 = 'Please enter either of Date/Month/Week'.
raise again.
ELSEIF count = 0.            "this is for no time range selection
CALL FUNCTION 'RRMS_MESSAGE_HANDLING'
EXPORTING
I_CLASS = 'RSBBS'
I_TYPE = 'E'
I_NUMBER = '000'
I_MSGV1 = 'Please enter at least Date/Month/Week'.
raise again.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
Hope this helps.

Characteristic in key column BPS

Hi all,
In my BW-BPS I created a layout with 0CALMONTH in key column restricted with variable and key figure 0SALES in data column.
If for variable of 0CALMONTH I choose range from 01.2007 to 12.2007 in my layout I see only until 08.2007 that corresponding to actual data.
I need to see also 09.2007 10.2007 11.2007 and 12.2007 beacause I must to plan in corrispondence of this month.
How can I do for to see this month?
Thanks a lot
Gianmarco


Hi 
Go to Change Mode of your Planning Layout. Expand the button for Additional Settings. If you have selected the Radiobutton From Transaction Data then change it to All Possible Characteristic Combinations. Save the layout and see if it works for you.
 
Hope it helps.

Time Characteristic in a query

I have an InfoObject called Time (0Time) which I want to include in a query. The object is part of my InfoProvider. The time is given in hours what I want to do is group the time so that I have three values represent morning afternoon and evening. How can I do this? Thanks

In the rows part of the query designer, right click on the word Rows and select New Structure. In the Structure you see right click and select new Selection. Here make the selection by including 0TIME(drag and drop from left hand box). Right click 0TIME in the right hand side and Restrict. Restrict with values, like 00:00:01 to 12:00:00 (for Morning). Clcik OK. Change the description of the Selection to Say "Morning" and click OK. You can repeat by creating new selections for Afternoon and Evening.
You can save the structure and use it across multiple queries if reqd.
Hope this helps...

Time period restriction

HI all,
I'm working on a project with ICWebclient and i have to make a restriction in the contact history,so that the user can only have the Possibility to see the Data of the last 2 years. In the standard search,the user has the possibility to choose the time period via a calendar(pop-up)like he wants but now i have to fix the value so that he can only have a look at the Data within the last 2 years. For exple today it's 07/07/06 so he can not see see the data from a date older than 07/07/04.
could u pleas tell me how i can implement it ?
thanks in advance

Create a program variant where you set default dates

FOX: Read Attribute of time characteristic

Hey Gurus,
within my current planning application I maintained an Attribute for 0FISCPER3. Now I want to do some calculations where it is necessary to read this attribute but with standard function ATRV it is not possible.
The execution of the Planningsequence always fails. In ST22 Methode IF_RSMD_RS_ACCESS~GET_ATTRIBUTES is called (* This method is not supported for these info objects).
Does anyone know if it is not possible to read attributes of standard time characteristics ? If it's not I think the best alternative is to create a function module that reads my attribute.
Cheers,
Moritz

Hi Moritz,
can you please post your fox coding for this one? If it is a attribute of a characteristic you have to include the corresponding characteristic of the attribute (the attribute is mentioned as xxx within the coding):
local_variable = artv(xxx, 0fiscper3).
Did you try this?
Brgds,
Marcel
