Universe on long text

I need to display very long text on Webi reports. However, the technical limitation of a BW infoobject is 60 characters. So Bex query from which the OLAP universe is created can only display partial text. A possible workaround is to write the long text to a transparent table during ETL and build a relational universe on the long text table.
(1) Is it possible to join an OLAP universe and a relational universe?
(2) Is it possible to write a WEBI report on relational universe?
Thank you for your input.

here you go,
build a relational universe on the long text table.
>> It will take 254/255 Characters Are you fine.
(1) Is it possible to join an OLAP universe and a relational universe?
YEP
But not in Universe level(Linked Universes may help) , you can work on both by combining @ Report.
(2) Is it possible to write a WEBI report on relational universe?

Gracias...!!

Universe Designer not pulling Long Text from BEx Query / Info Object

In the BEx query on which my universe is built, all the characteristics display with Long Text. In each of the info objects (RSD1), the long text option is selected in the BEx properties. However, when the Universe builds, it pulls the short text for the names of the classes, dimensions, and details that get created. I don't want to have to manually change every line to the long text, so I would love to hear if there's some setting in the designer that is causing this to happen.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you!

Another interesting data point to add to this:
The long description is transfered for Key Figures, but not for Characteristics.

In DeskI, what's the maximum for "Limit size of long text objects"? 2000?

In Universe Designer, we have a setting which is "Limit size of long text objects", it can control how many characters can be displayed for long text objects.
The problem is that in DeskI, we can only display 2000 characters even we set 2500 or more in Universe Designer by "Limit size of long text objects". But if we use the same Universe & same Database, WebI can show 2500 or more characters for long text objects.
So does it mean in DeskI the maximum value for "Limit size of long text objects" is 2000?

Hi Jason,
Check that the object in the universe is set to data type "long text".
Also check that the object itself is not limiting the length of the string, as well as that the entire string is actually in the database... the data type here could also be the issue.
Hope this helps

Database Table where modifications to message long text are stored (log)

Hi,
As per manual correction mentioned in SAP note 1144291,
we have changed the long text for message XC092 by modification of the long text.
This note 1144291 is a pre-requisite for SAP Note 1310808.
After the notes were implemented, it is noticed that message CURTO1055 has incorrect information in its long text. This is because, the variable in the long text are not correctly defined in the long text.
Both the messages XC-092 and CURTO1-055 are SAP standard.
The error for CURTO1-055 can be rectified by modification of the long text and maintenance of the correct variables.
However, my question is:
Where do we check the log for document modifcation for a message long text.
I have found the logs relevant to my modification in table DOKHL and DOKIL.
But in which table do we get all of the foll. data:
- Message class
- Message number
- Modification name
- Modification created by
- Modification done on
- Last changed by
- Last changed on
Kindly help. A <removed by moderator> solution would be really helpful.
Best Regards,
Smruthi
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on May 5, 2011 12:07 PM - urgency reduced

Hi Smruthi,
The modification changes would be in the SMODILOG table. Please note this is a core basis table and should not be changed, however to best find your changes search under the TRKORR field with the relevant tp request.

Can not see long text description of a characteristics in portal

Hi experts,
I designed two queries via Query designer and published them to portal but I can not see the the long text description of "Name" attribute belongs to 0BPARTNER characteristics.
One of the queries shows only the last name of partner in portal while it is showing full name and last name in Bex Analyzer. The other query shows only the key value in both portal and Bex Analyzer.
I want to see long text description in both queries.
For an additional information, I'm extracting data from CRM 5.00 to BW 7.00
What will be the reason for this and how can I solve it?
Can anyone help me for this issue, it's a kind of emergency situation.

Hi,
we have the same problem.
We want to change <b>only</b> in the screen variable the hierarchy text (from default to long\medium text) but even if there's a possibility to do this, really it doesn't happen anything - it' s possible when you start query, in the selection screen inside every the variable there's a command "User Settings" in which manage what you want to see (I put display custom, as text, medium text).
I try to do this also in query analizer, selecting variable (hierarchy) and enter in this (user setting), changing in display custom as text - medium text, but even if I save this settings, really doesn't happen anything.
It seems the system isn't sensitive to this selection...
By now, if someone has an answer, please write us!
Thanks in advance,

Creating a long text using ABAP code.. fm SAVE_TEXT

When you create an order via IW31 one of the options is to click on the text button and create a long text. I am basically trying to mimic this action from within my ABAP code.
The text id details are as follows:
Text Name       500000015000046 which is (5000000 + order number)
Language        EN
Text ID            KOPF         Order header text
Text Object      AUFK       Order text
If i manually create the text within the transaction i am then able to view and update it via function modules READ_TEXT and SAVE_TEXT. But if the text has not already been created READ_TEXT obviously returns nothing as it does not exist and SAVE_TEXT does not seem to created it!
Anyone know how i would go about creating this text using ABAP code?
Hope this make a bit of sense
Thanks in advance
Mart

I have implemented the code as i think it should be. See below, can any see what is wrong. If i add init_text it makes no difference and adding the commit_text just makes it hang

Long text doesn't fit the window exactly

Hi friends,
in PO smartforms i have included the header text of PO.
the problem is the long text doesn't fit to the window exactly i.e.,
when we enter the text in PO in the header a line can contain only 60 characters approximately where as in my smartforms it can contain more than that.
so in the display of smart form i get lot of space in the right side and i get the remaining part of text in the next line.

hi,
what u have told is correct but we can't expect the end user to do it each time when they paste the long text.

Use READ_TEXT and concatenate the first lines of the text.
      CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

Hi All,
I have a report that running on a multiprovider and I have a field that I use as a selection parameter. I changed the settings for this field's info object settings to "long text" to see long description in the pop up search window. However setting change worked for all the other reports that are running on cubes and DSO s but I still see short description when I run the multiprovider report.
