Time dependent navigational attribute

Hi all,
I am new to BW, i would like to know what is time dependent navigational attribute and when we go for it.
with regards,
a.fahrudeen

Hi Fahrudeen,
You will go for a time dependant nav attr when the attribute values change with time and you need to maintain the history. When you use time dep nav attr, the value is always valid from a date to a certain date. Like for 0COSTCENTER, 0RESP_PERS is a time dependant attr becasue it is possible that for the same costcenter ABC was responsible person from 01.01.2004 to 12.31.2005, and then you have XYZ from 01.01.2006 till 21.31.2008.
Hope this helps...

Wrong data in cube for time dependent nav attribute

Hi Experts,
I am facing a strange problem.
One of the navigational attr used in one cube was not time dependent before.
Now we have changed it to time dependent.
But after that the cube is fetching wrong data for the nav attr.
In the Master data table (Q table) data is fine.
Kindly suggest.
Regards,
Debjani

Hi Debjani,
As Federico said, when you display the content of the cube (or when you execute a query) you enter the reference date on which the time-dependant attribute will be searched. This unique reference date will be used whatever the cube data is.
Ex :if the reference date is 2010/02/14, you will have the time-dep attribute value for 2010/02/14,for 2011 data, 2010 data or whatever.
If you want to change dynamically the reference date depending on a date on the cube, things become a lot more difficult. The only possibility I can think of is "virtual characteristics" (you will find a lot of litterature on the subject on sdn).
Regards,
Fred

Navigational attribute issue-time dependent

Hi all,
I am working with 0PA_C01, I included some additional navigational attribute(time dependent )to 0employee, but when i am checking all these navigational attribute at cube level or Report , i can find only the latest values ,for eg i added Designation as a time dependent navigational attribute for 0employee, and the designation for a employee is changing after 12.2008 from VP to SVP ,at the cube   and also in the report i can find only the latest designation for all the calmonth ie before 12.2008 also as SVP .
I checked the the time dependent Navigational attribute option to make designation as a time dependent navigational attribute ,and also ran the attribute change run .
Can anyone suggest some information to fix it?
Thanks
Sandhya

Dear Sandya,
Results correct only in your report. Time dependent attributes displyas data based on keydate. if no key date specified, system takes current date as key date and displays data.
So in your case latest data displaying. If you want to see any historic designations, you need to specify key date, which shold fall into that particular range.
Create a User entry variable for keydate and use.
Key date
Each query has a key date. For time-dependent data, the key date determines the time for which the data is selected. The default key date value is the date on which the query is executed, that is <Today>.
       1.      Click on the Key Date field. A dialog box with a calendar appears for you to select your key date.
       2.      Select a date from the calendar. If you select 01.01.1999 for example, time-dependent data is read from the 01.01.1999.
Note
The key date applies only to time-dependent data.

Time Dependent Hierarchies in Bex

Hello All,
I have a time dependent hierarchy with the same leaf in two different nodes i.e,
Mr. Jones was a part of cost center A from 1/1/2001 to 12/31/2003 and he is a part of cost center B from 1/1/2004 to 12/31/2006.
When I want to run the report for time period 1/1/2001 to 12/31/2006, will the report show Mr. Jones as part of cost center A from 1/1/2001 to 12/31/2003 and as a part of cost center B from 1/1/2004 to 12/31/2006.
Or do I have to model this as a time dependent navigational attribute. If I do this, can I still display it as a hierarchy.
Please pour in your inputs.
Thanks.
In the infoObject i chose time-dependent hierarchy structure. I've built a new hierarchy, with the same leave in two different nodes. Each leave got different time interval but when i run a report on a period which include the time interval of the two leaves i get only one node...
Please advice.

Time independent and time dependent

Hi ,
Can anyone explain
What is difference between time independent master data and time dependent master data?
time independent navigation attribute and time dependent navigation attribute?
Regards,
maya

Hi Maya,
As the name states time dependent and time independent ceratin data could be dependent on time. Lets say there is a sales person and he resides in Indian from June to Dec and from Jan to May he resides in US then you can make that characteristic as time -dependent.

APD query key date with variable for time dependent MD display attributes

Hello,
In a APD I use a query as a source with a query key date that is filled with a customer exit variable.
When I run the query as a user, the time dependent MD display attributes look fine. However, when I use the query in an APD, I get no values for the time dependent display attributes.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
Try to run query using RSCRM_BAPI Tcode, this you can also schedule in background

Master data loading with Time dependent InfoObjects

Hi
For product master, I have a infoobject Standard Cost, a time dependent keyfigure attribute.
How do I Load data for product master

Hi,
Though you Material grade is time dependent and sequentially changing.
You can create 4 different DTP with Grade selection (only 1 Transformation).
For example, 1 DTP with filter Grade A, another DTP with grade B, so on.
and executive all 4 dtp sequentially and activate master data after every DTP run.
Hope it will workout.
Thanks,

Navigational attributes time dependent in queries

Hello Guys,
I have a doubt, I have a master data with navigational attributes and time dependent and I need display from a query a comparative date between 2 navigational attributes; the value of the master data's attribute navigational and time dependent.
It is possible?
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Jeysi

I describe the case again:
I need display a comparative between 2 time period based in navigational attributes in a Query.
It is possible? I think that only a date is possible because the key date controls the output to the date specified or by default to today. Is it correct?, if I need keep historical information must save in the cubo each attribute neccesary for comparation to a period.
Thank you very much.

Jeysi

Navigation attribute behaviour during time dependent master data read

Hi All,
My report is based on infocube. There is one time depenedent master data characteristic named 0EMPLOYEE in the cube.
My report is run for a specific time period. For example Monthly and quaterly level.
There are many infoobject form part of dimension in cube and few are part of navigation attribute folder.
Now in the transformation there are some fields which needs to be read from master data depending upon some time characteristic for ex:-0CALMONTH, 0CALDAY. This rule is mapped correctly and data is also being stored correctly as per the specific time period in the cube.
Now there are some navigation attirbute which reads the data from 0EMPLOYEE master data itself.
My doubt is will navigation attribute read the latest record for the employee or is it intelligent enough to read the right records depending upon specific time char?
With navigation attribute we dont have option to specify any rule as compared to normal objects in transformation.
What will navigation attribute read ? Latest record or speicific records as per time period?
Thanks & Regards,
Anup

Hi Anup,
Let me give you one small example about time dependent attribute work,
let us say we have 0COSTCENTER as time dependent attribute of 0CUSTOMER. Now in your transaction data you have loaded values of 0CUSTOMER and in the query you have used 0CUSTOMER_COSTCENTER attribute.
Transaction Data,
Tran. no.      Customer Number       Amount
1                      123                          500
   2                      125                         450
   3                     126                          900
Master Data:
Customer      Cost Center       Valid From             Valid To
123                COST1                1st Jan                 15th Jan
   123               COST2                 16th Jan              30 March
123                 COST3                31st March          30 June
In the above example the data loaded for valid to and valid from has came from source system and for this data you will have direct mapping done in transformation. Now data will reside as above in your system.
When you use Key date as 20th Jan then the cost center for customer 123 in the query will be shown as COST2. So this assignment of time dependent data is done at runtime only and will not have any impact on underlying data.

Durgesh.
