To change Sequence of info-Objects in Filter dispaly for a 7.0 report

Hi
I have a 7.0 Bex Query.
When I run the report .Click on 'Filter' , I get all the available info Objects for drill down in alphabetic Order .
I know that we can change the Order through 'Query Properties' and tab 'Navigational state'. But it is for that temporary view.
Is there any way to fix the Order/ sequence parmanantly? I dont want to fix it every time I open the report.
Thanks for your inputs.
Nandita..

Hi,
I am assuming you are talking about the order of free characteristics.
By default when you execute the report, they are arranged in an alphabetical order evn though you have arranged them in some other order in the query designer. In 7.0, this can be fixed in WAD.
Go to WAD 7.0 (release 2004s), open the web template created on your query. Then after you open, on the left you can see web items.Under that select 'Navigation Pane' and drag it to layout. Once you bring it in layout, then on the left side under Web item properties look for 'Internal display'.
In 'Internal display' look for in the field navifation pane content select free charcteristics. Then just uncheck the check box named 'Alphabetical Sorting of'. By default it will be On, you just make it Off.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
rahul

Tracking the changes to a Info-object or info-cube.

Hi Gurus,
I want to track a Info-object changes.Put it this way.
When the info-object is been created the length is 10 chars,But then its changed to 20 and then 40 .i don't these changes are until somebody told me.how do i track the changes to length or any other properties of the info-object ?
What about info-cube?Is there any way to track the changes done with respect to time on a info-cube?

hi Nrupal,
if the log not deleted, you can try
RSD1 - your infoobject - click icon 'logs' (blue !),
choose 'activating in dictionary', try as well saving/activating, give date range
for mass check last change, can use table RSDIOBJ
for infocube try RSDCUBE, logs, choose 'mass activator', try also 'save/activate'
to display last change, infocube right click 'display',
menu extras - info - content/change
or SE16 table RSDCUBE
the log can be accessed in infoobject or infocube maintainance also,
or try SLG1
hope this helps.

Change length of Info object

Hello,
I have an infoobject with NUMC as data type and length 3. I need to change the length to 4 and keep the data type same. This infoobject is included in 6 or more ODS and cubes and is also a navigational attribute of another info object.
The infoobject already has MD loaded in it via a flat file. it can also be loaded directly through R/3, but the team has decided not to pursue that option.
My question is: Can I change the length to 4 without emptying the cubes and ODS? If so, how will it affect my MD? Is there any way to change the transactional data in the cube to 4 digits..by padding it with zero?
The only option that I see in front of me is to delete all the data in the infoobject. pad the data in the flat file so that it is 4 digits instead of 3 (I think I should be fine even if i don't do this). Delete all the ODS and cubes that contain this info object. Also delete all the data in the other info object that has this info object as a navigational attribute. Reload all the ODS and cubes and info object after the changes have been done.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Sam

Thanks Arun,
I reopened the post because the Q about the transport was related to the same post. I did not want to have 2 threads open for the same thing.
It does seem that when I transported it to BWQ, the tranfer structure was activated, but the infoobject has not been activated and gives me an error. It states that the tables need to be converted. So i guess I have to make the changes manually in QA.
Thanks
Sam

Which info object should be used for Financial statement line (BPS and BCS)

Hi experts.
A rather easy and straightfoward questions for someone out there.
In BPS as we know, we use the info object '0SEM_POSIT' (account groups, or financial statement line) to summamrize and store amounts from groups of accounts or for example data from COPA's value fields, and which is already an attribute of the info object '0ACCOUNT'.
I am told that there is another BCS related info object called '0CS_ITEM' that serves the same purpose, and uses it for the same reason for the purpose of consolidations.
We'd obviously like to use just the one of these info objects because of planning and reporting.
Can someone out there with knowledge in BCS recommend which one to use, and from their experience in the past how they combined the use of both (if you in fact did use both).
Also, is it true that in BCS you cannot use a two characteristic BW hierarchy for consolidations, and it can only consolidate a one characteristic BW hierarchy?
Thanks dearly

Hi Eugene,
I kind of understood what you said, but just incase, let me explain my situation a little clearer. In BPS I'm using 0SEM_POSIT for two reasons:
1) To create hierarchy based on 0SEM_POSIT info object, and making each node postable. This is because on this project we don't plan at account level. Only at a kind of account group/financial statement line level. So each node is postable so that they roll up to the higher levels.
2) I will have 0SEM_POSIT as an attribute of 0ACCOUNT (which is standard delivered as an attribute in BW). This will ensure that I derive the actuals at that the same level as the planned. This is required for two reasons:
                           a) I can have the actuals as comaprison column in the Planning
                               layout.
                           b) I can report on the Actuals vs. Plan at the postable node
                               level in BW queries.
So having explained this, what I understood from your explanation is:
a) I can continue to 0SEM_POSIT as my info object for my postable node hierarchy, and
b) I can also use 0CS_ITEM as a consolidation unit specifically for BCS only.
So what I really didn't understand is:
1) your explanation of the mapping of 0SEM_POSIT to 0CS_ITEM, and what this mapping actually does. For example does 0CS_ITEM derive the values from 0SEM_POSIT because of this mapping? Can you explain this a bit? Is Datastream a tool in BCS by which BCS readinf financial data from other components?
2) Can BCS use a 2 characteristic postable nodes hierarchy as a consolidation unit? For example, if I create ONE hierarchy using 0SEM_POSIT, and 0ACCOUNT. Both will be postable at any level of the hirarchy.
Can BCS consolidate using this 2 characteristic hierarchy structure? OR, must it use 0CS_ITEM info object?
3) How does both 0SEM-POSIT, and 0CS_ITEM co-exist together, in terms of planning, consolidation, and reporting. For example if I report using the 0CS_ITEM hierarchy, then I will not be able to read plan data, because plan data is posted on the 0SEM_POSIT? and vice versa......? This question kind of ties in with 1).
Sorry for the long message, but I wanted to make sure I explained it better.
Thanks for your help

Issue with Info Object Transport after changing Data Type

Hi Experts,
We have a DSO which is running past 5 years. And recently(3 days back) we added new fields into that DSO. Delta loaded for last three days and new info object (Say XXX) data populated into DSO.
Now the problem is, We identified that, info object data type is not correct. We used data type NUMC instead of CHAR.So Character information is missing for that field.
Example:
Data from ECC: ABC123
Data Loaded to DSO: 123 (Missed character ABC)
So we deleted data from DSO and changed the info object data type in Development system.
And also I have deleted only last three days delta records from DSO and transported my info object to Production. But its giving error as: Info object contains data in DSO".
But that info object field is empty in DSO. I have already deleted last three days delta.
Do I need to Delete all 5 years data from DSO to change the data type of recently added new info object ?
Please give me your solutions and ideas to solve this issue.
Thank you,
Best Regards,
Santhosh

Hi Raman,
Thank you for your answer.
When I changed the data type of info object in Dev, I deleted the content of DSO. And same thing transported to QA as well. Before importing changed info object, I just deleted the content of DSO from QA. So transport done successfully QA.
But in Production we have a history of past 5 years. So I cant delete all contents of DSO.
So just deleted only the delta request's which contains data for that info object(3 days back, we moved that info object(NUMC data type) to production,So last 3 days delta only loaded for that info object). And tried to transport it. But it was failed. I am sure we need to drop all data from DSO, if I am interested to go with same info object.
I have some comments on your first approach,
1. If we delete info objects from Dev DSO and transport to Production will give transport failure, Why because, my previous transports errors clearly saying that info object contains data in DSO . So it wont allow to remove that info object from DSO.
2.We are using same info object technical name in BO Data federator also. So if we change add new info objects again we need to make changes with BO as well. I am thinking this point as my last option if i cant find any other solution.
Thank you.
Best Regards.

Upgrade to SCM7.0 DP info objects (Characteristics) long/short text issue

Hi All,
We have upgraded from SCM4x to SCM7.0. The info objects characteristics customized long and short text is not updated in SCM 7.0.
Example: Info object 9ALOCNO standard long/short text is APO location. But in SCM4x they have changed to Plant. After upgrade this text is set to APO location, not the plant. Like this many chars text have been changed to SAP standard.
When I try to change text of info object creates transport request.
Is this standard behavour when we upgrade?
Please share your thoughts and let me know for more information.
Thanks,
Sreeni

Sreeni,
With every upgrade the customization is lost. We will have to make a list of all customized objects and make the change again in the upgraded system.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

How to load data from info object to ODS

Hello BW Gurus,
Is their any way to load data from info object to ODS and I am unable to fine the Info source for that particulate info object master data.
For ex: we have 0PROFITCENTER as info object which is getting loaded everyday. We want same data in ODS too but I don't find any info source related to this info object to create update ruled.
Please advise me how to proceed with this,
Thanks,
Swathi.

hi Swathi,
as mentioned, if you just need the master data text or attribute update, then it's sufficient to load 0PROFITCENTER master data. (don't forget to 'apply hierarchy/attribute change' - rsa1->tools)
if you are going to update attribute in ods with attribute from 0PROFITCENTER, you can choose look up master data attribute method in update rules.
if the requirement is really need 0PROFITCENTER to assign to update rules, then first you have to 'generate export datasource' for infoobject 0PROFITCENTER, right click the infoobject and 'generate export datasource', then do 'replicate datasource' from bw myself, after that it will available. to display it you may go to rsa1->infosource, and menu settings->display generated objects.
hope this helps.

But in fact i got in query wbs element 1; zabarb :200
I've tried to change info object exception aggregation : average all value with reference char. wbs_element, but still the result in query is 200.
I hope someone can help me.

Increasing the length of Char type Info-object ( impact )?

Hi,
We are on BW3.5 version and we have a custom defined Info-object ZP_REPORT(say )whose length is 3 now as all the three digit series will be used up in near future we have a requirement to increase the length of the characteristic.
This Info-object is used Navigation attribute of 0Material. And also this info-object is used as Navigational characteristic in few Info-cubes.
Can any one please let me know what would be the impact of increasing the length?
1)Do I need to delete the master data from this ZP_REPORT?
2)DO I need to delete the master data from 0MATERIAL?
3)Will there be any impact on Info-Cubes?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
It is always big challenge to change the existing info object lengh or type or anything that have gone live already..........
But if we will be very careful at the time of changing length and transport, we can do it succefully......
Lets come to your scenario... In my understanding
i) Your scenario is going to change the info object length that info object is only available for attribute. It is not at all used anywhere in the dimenstion table. So your cube will not be affected.... If problem will come your master data only will be affected.... Verify more than one time your info object is not at all used in any cubes. (Go to infoobject change mode check in where used list)
ii) Before changing the length in development, data should be available in development cube as well as master data.. Because you can verify it in development itself whether the data will be deleted or not at the time of changing the length and activate the info object.
iii) At the time of transport transport only the particular info object. Dont sent any other info objects. That might have related with any cube.
iv) For safety purpose check whether your info cube is having which type of load. Either Full load or Delta. Most of the cubes will be having delta. If it is full, then we dont have more worry on that.
v) Finally if possible, create one backup cube and back master data and load data from your existing cube to that cube. If the data will be more that 2 GB it is not a simple task to take a backup..... This is only for safty purpose......
Please let me know your status...............

Hi
This can be easily found in Meta Data Repositry. RSA1 --> Meta Data Repositry --> Choose the category Infoobject and search for your required infoobject, here you get following Info:
1. Display Attributes of the Info Object
2. Navigationla Attributes of the Info Object
3. Queries in which they are used.
4. Used by which MP,Cubes,DSO, Info Set , Transfer Rules etc.

Data Extraction from hierarchies in BW info-object

Dear All,
I have a question here regarding master data extraction from hierarchies from BW info-object.
we have a info-object called as Customer which is defined in the standalone BW system. under the hierarchies for the customer we have the Channel defined.
Now I have created 2 info-objects in APO BW for Customer and Channel. channel is defined as an attribute of the customer.
I am wondering to do I extract data from the Customer info-object in standalone BW to both these charactersitics in APO BW?
Regards,
Kedar Agarkar

Hello Kedar,
Please open this thread on the SDN Forum "DATA WAREHOUSING".
I already talked with a BW colleague and he suggested to try there, it seems to be their issue.
Thanks and regards,

Removing the compounding info objects

Hi Experts,
I am having a problem with large master data tables in the production system. There are 2 custom info objects ZPCA_Doc and ZPCA_item for PCA document number & item number. ZPCA_DOC is compounded with doc_typ and ZPCA_Item is compounded with ZPCA_DOC info obejcts. The number of entries in the two info objects ZPCA_DOC and ZPCA_Item is growing everyday. The number of entries in the ZPCA_Item is nearing 20 million records. I think this is due to the compounding of the info objects. As this was developed few years back I am not sure why the compounding was done.
I need advice on:
Is it a good practice to compound the document number & document item info Objects?
Is it possible to remove the compounded info object on these info objects without deleting the infocube data?
Is there any other way to control the number of entries in these info objects?
Thanks in advance,
Shilpa

Hi,
It depends on requirements of queries. But, without compounding, if you have doc no and item no seperately in transactional data, then you will be able to report data as you wish.
My opinion is, if you have both of them in the infocube, then you can remove compounding. However, removing compounding object will require deletion of master data. you have to be careful

Info Object: Change of Data Type (NUMC to CHAR)

We have a scenario wherein one of the Info objects is defined currently as NUMC. Due to the change in the Source system, the info object is now defined with data type as CHAR. The info object in consideration is the "Cost element".
As the current info object contains data, it will not be possible to change the data type from NUM to CHAR.
Is there any pre-defined way of doing this data type change without loss of data (in the info object as well as the info cube(s) where the info object is used)?
Regards
Bala

Hi Balakrishana,
Try this:
Insted of changing the definition of infoobject(NUMC to CHAR), why cant you change the data itself from CHAR to NUMC...?? If length is same.
You can write a simple routine in transfer rules and you can convert.
Hope it Helps

Loss Authorization after changing info object

Hi
tHIS is authorization issue
I have DP Planning book and in this planning book I have used Zinfoobject .
This is working fine since go live . Recently I have added new atribute in this zinfoobject .
After that user is not accessible to DP pLANNING Area.
SAYS THAT 'NO Authorization.
Can anybody suggest me

Hi,
Is this Info Object is Std. one?
I assume this info object is created by manually.If you want to change the data type of info object then you need to delete master data of this info object.After that you can change the data type of info object.
But this is the vrey risky steps,so i would suggest try it ones in dev. or sand box server,then go further.
