Universe

Hi All,
we have created a univ(IDT) from a cube using SAP BW --> realtional connection --> multi source universe.
In the newly created univ we have a dimension "G/L account". which has got some numeric values
say 10001,10002 ...50000.
The requirement is i have to create new dimensions or attributes based on "G/L account"
Ex:
Dimension A if the G/L account value between 10013 to 10033
Dimension B if the G/L account value between 30023 to 30045
is it possible. please help
i am on BO 4.1 Sp4 & BW7.3
Regards,
deshmukh

Mark
i am not very sure how this is achieved. but below is the sample of what i tried
@select ("_D_IOFIGL_C10_0GLAccount."0GL_Account")
from "_D_I0FIGL_C10_0GL_ACCOUNT" where "_D_I0FIGL_C10_0GL_ACCOUNT"."0GL_ACCOUNT" between x and y
please correct me.
GL Account has got lot of values
we are creating dimensions using it.
if the values are between xx and yy it has to be created as Dimension A
if the values are between ww and hh it has to be created as Dimension B
please help

I bought Aperature and PS from a university store, not under my apple username, now it won't let me update it to work with Yosemite because it isn't hooked to my username. how do i fix it and get the upgrade

A few years ago or so i bought Aperture and Photoshop (the whole kit and caboodle) from a university subsidized store (my husband worked there and buying programs like those two, the whole Microsoft office Suite, all kinds of things) at a very significant discount, i think we paid 25$ for Photoshop vs the 400$ it was selling for on the open market.
Yesterday i upgraded most of my laptops to Yosemite (one of them I'm sure was the one that had Aperture on it, a 17in MacBookPro, its about 2 years old now, but at the time i bought it it was the highest computer apple had on the regular floor, I'm sure i could have added some stuff to customize it for extra, but basically we are talking top of the line computer. I recently just required a 2012 MackBook Air with also fairly heavy specs from a family member that was upgrading (I'm not sure why, i know they couldn't possibly be using this thing for anything beyond its capacity, its basically new, and they aren't 3D animation rendering and needed a "quicker" one).
I was very happy with the upgrade, and now it does work much more seamlessly with my iPads and my iPhone, but the whole reason i uploaded it was to work on pictures, adjust them, change the size and then print them out to include in jewelry, and Yosemite won't let me use Aperture at all, when i click to upgrade it (in the bar all it has basically old icon with a (no sign or ghost busters like sign over it) i click on it and it says, you did not buy this with your apple account name and i could not upgrade it. But it just made me click ok, and did not give me any info on how to upgrade it. i do physically own it, or my husband does, I'm not sure to whom it is registered, but sholdnt i still make it able to work with this new operating system, even if not through regular "software updates" it used to always be asking me to upgrade "word" and i got that in the same way, so what is the issue and what do i do to get it to work on this new system?

Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

Month Sorting at Universe Level

Hi All,
We have created a Universe on BEx query to develope an BO Explorer.
We are having Sorting problem with Fiscal Period values, which is in Character type.
So need some clarification on below queries..
Q: Can we change the Fiscal Period datatype from Character to Number?
I think it will give an error if we change the datatype
Q: Can we add preceding zeros for 1 to 9 months?
I used below MDX expression for testing purpose,
<EXPRESSION>IIF([0FISCPER3].[LEVEL01]="1",1,2)</EXPRESSION>
But it is always giving me the else part only.
If I replace the dimension with Measure then the above expression is working fine.
Q: Can we use Concatination Operator for adding preceeding zeros for periods 1 to 9?
Q: Can we apply any transformations on Dimenstion fields?
Environment details:
BO 4.1 SP3
UDT 4.1 SP3
Please advise me.
--Praveen G

Hi Ann, it is always helpful to have a dim_time table in your data mart where you have these 2 fields (among others):
month_number     month_full_name
     1          January
     2         February
and so on...
Then you can put something like the following SQL in your derived table called "MONTH"....
select distinct month_number, month_full_name
from dim_time
order by 1
Create a dimension object, says, "month_lov". Go the Properties tab, click "Edit", then "SQL". In the query panel, put in something like this...
select month.month_full_name
from
(select distinct month_number, month_full_name
from dim_time
order by 1) month
Make sure you check "Do not generate SQL before running", then click "OK" and "Save and Close". Then create a condition object to point to this LOV. You should be able to get the months listed in the real order.
Hope this helps.

Error while creating a BO Universe (using IDT) on top of SAP HANA Calculation View with Input Parameters

Hi All..
We are trying to create a Universe (using IDT-Version4.0) on top of the HANA Calculation view. The Calculation view has 4 input parameters, So
in Universe side we have created the respective prompts. For the creation of derived table we have used the following code
SELECT *
FROM "_SYS_BIC"."<schema_name>.<CV_Calculation_View_test>"
'PLACEHOLDER'=('$$IP_A$$','@Prompt(A)'),
'PLACEHOLDER'=('$$IP_B$$','@Prompt(B)'),
'PLACEHOLDER'=('$$IP_C$$','@Prompt(C)'),
'PLACEHOLDER'=('$$IP_D$$','@Prompt(D)')
While validating the above code we are getting an error.
I have attached the snapshot of that error for your reference. Please find the attachment and help me in resolving it.
Thanks in advance.

Hello George,
I don't have any personalization set on the info space. Also I am using mapped Account in BI to connect to HANA. The confusing part is that it is able to validate the infospace with the input parameters and index it. However query does not return any results. I even tried running the same query which explorer sends to HANA in the SQL editor and there too the same results,the query does not return anything. The model does return data when I do a data preview and if accessed from other tools like AAO.
Also when I use SSO connection to HANA, indexing of the infospace fails. Where can I see the error log?
Thanks,

Ipod Nano Compatibility with Ipod Universal Dock and Remote

I have an 8GB Black 2nd Gen iPod Nano. I want to connect it to my stereo. I was told that the Apple Ipod Universal Dock would be a good solution.
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=6C0 4E07A&nplm=MA045G/C
The website says that it is compatible with my nano, so no big deal right? I just wanted to make sure it would work fine with my iPod nano before I went and bought one. Does it come with the AV cable to connect the dock to my stereo / tv? DOes the dock have a graphical menu interface like some of the third party docks/remotes have?
Also, will the Apple Ipod Remote work with the universal dock?
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=BB5 E48CD&nplm=MA128G/A
The apple store website says that everything will be compatible, but I wanted confirmation from someone who has actually owned this or knows about this.
Can you offer any better docks/remotes ideas?
Acer Aspire AMD Sempron , 512MB, 60GB,15.4" Widescreen, XP Home Edition Notebook, AS3004WLCi - LX.A5505.A74 Windows XP

I was looking at the review CNET had for that Kensington dock.
http://reviews.cnet.com/mp3-player-accessories/kensington-entertainment-dock-500 /4505-6519_7-31631868.html?tag=uolst
I had a question about part of the review though, I am not sure I am understanding it correctly.
"We were impressed by the remote's ability to take control of our iPod; most of the third-party iPod-dock remotes we've seen only pause the music or video, skip tracks, and adjust the volume, not browse the menus. That said, the Entertainment Dock still isn't perfect. When you navigate the menus, your TV screen will be blank, so you must rely on the iPod's screen for your visual cues. Our other gripe is that the remote seems cheaply designed: The buttons on our review model looked misaligned (if usable), while the battery cover was annoyingly difficult to pry open. We got about 30 feet of range from the remote, which is more than adequate for most living rooms."
So this means that even though the remote can navigate the menus on the iPod, you wont be able to see what you are doing unless you go to the screen of your iPod?

The Group Policy Client service failed the sign-in The universal unique identifier (UUID) type is not supported

Creation of Universe based on Hana OLAP connection

I have to create a universe in IDT 4.1 sp2 based on SAP HANA OLAP
connection ?
How can i access SAP HANA view which was created using OLAP connection in Business objects Explorer? It does not allow creating Universe on top of SAP HANA OLAP connection and gives an error
SAP Business Objects query and reporting applications can directly connect to OLAP SAP HANA connections. No universe is required, only a published OLAP SAP HANA connection.
Thanks

Parameter Filenames in Universal Adapter With Filenames In SrcFiles Dir

Hello Experts,
We are running DAC 10.1.3.4.1 and Informatica 9.0.1 HotFix2 and are in the process of trying to get an OOTB DAC Execution Plan to complete. We are able to build a plan but run into issues when running. We created a custom execution plan called TEST with one subject area (Financials - Cost of Goods Sold) and when the plan is built, 248 tasks are generated. Only 9 complete succcessfully.
When looking at the details of a specific workflow within the Informatica Workflow Manbager, i.e. SDE_Universal_ProjectDimension, we find that within the workflow properties, the Parameter Filename Attribute = $PMSourceFileDir\SDE_Universal_Adaptor.SDE_Universal_ProjectDimension.txt. On our file system, the file is named, $PMSessionLogFile=FLATFILECONNECTION.DBCONNECTION_OLAP.SDE_Universal_Adaptor.SDE_Universal_ProjectDimension.txt. The task fails because it cannot find the file. We believe the different filenames are the reason but are posting this thread because we cannot figure why or how to get the filenames properly synched.
So you know, we are using a data source that is not an Oracle supported data source, hence we are using DAC's Universal Adapter to bring in flatfiles, like the one above for instance.
Please help,
Thanks

Hello,
I don't think it was the source of your problem. It is always the case: DAC generates always SrcFiles with a name='Physical Data Sources Name'.'???'.'Informatica Folder Name'.'Mapping Name'
Where does your file FLATFILECONNECTION.DBCONNECTION_OLAP.SDE_Universal_Adaptor.SDE_Universal_ProjectDimension.txt created ?
Does this path equal to the DAC variable InformaticaParameterFileLocation declared in the DAC System Properties tab (menu Setup) ?
Hope it helps,

Trying to create a condition on a BW Universe

Hi experts,
I'm trying to create a condition on a BW-Query Universe just like below:
<EXPRESSION> IIF([0HALFYEAR1].[LEVEL01].[[20HALFYEAR1]].[Value] = 1 , [Measures].[DAAP8LRPLLYPPU417LVN5XS2Z]-[Measures].[DAAP8LRPLLXY17S9W2G13IDT7] , [Measures].[DAAP8LRPLLYPPU417LVN5XS2Z]-[Measures].[DAAP8LRPLLXY17S9W2G13IDT7]) </EXPRESSION>
i've searched a lot till get this code, but it still giving me an error when I try to execute.
Does anyone can please help me?
Thanks,
Gui Boscolo from BRZ.

Hi David,
Thanks for your answer, I've made the ajustments you have mention, but I'm still getting erros when i'm running a report with an object that contain this 'code':
<EXPRESSION> IIF(@Select(SemestreL01 Semestre Chave) = "1" , @Select(Variáveis de CálculoMontante Projetado Sem1) - @Select(ÍndicesSaldo Aplicado) , @Select(Variáveis de CálculoMontante Projetado Sem2) - @Select(ÍndicesSaldo Aplicado)) </EXPRESSION>
As you notice, now I'm using the @select function, the quotes are in the value of HALFYEAR01 ((@Select(SemestreL01 Semestre Chave) = "1") and removing the IFF function, the expression works.
The problem, is We need to have this IFF function at BO, because we're trying to complement a expression on BW that cannot be changed!! That's my problem at all!
Thanks again!

Universal application platform

Here is an ordinary day in the IT department of a big company. Boss says: �Hey, Jack, we have a new application. Is written in PowerBuilder and is has to be installed on all our 300 workstations !�. �Great, says Jack. Another pain in the ass. Last month was a Java Swing application, three months ago was a Visual Basic� And I have to do all the work. Damn, I think I am gonna switch to a taxi driver job !�.
Swell, isn�t it ? Well, there are a few techniques to improve the installation procedure of a classic two tier application, but why not solve the problem from it�s root ? �Hey, Jack, we have the solution !�, we say to poor Jack. �Ah, yes, I know, web applications of course. Workstations only have to have a browser. But man, they are so clumsy ! They are slow and not easy to develop. And it�s stupid to use internet technologies inside a LAN. And the users always complain about graphical interface. And you know how it is when end users complain about graphical interface !�, says Jack, showing his teeth.
We smile condescendingly. We have a better solution.
Why not have them all ? Why not combine the best parts from both worlds ? This is what we propose now: a Universal Applications Platform. It is a �thing� that will allow LAN applications to be installed on a sever and to be accessed from a sort of browser, just like web applications, but the speed will be just like in 2-tier applications. And they will be easy to develop, with a RAD IDE. And the beauty of the interface will make women cry.
Now seriously. Here is the idea: in a web application, we have a data server which holds data, an application server which performs business computation and a web server which presents the data to its client � the web browser. This is good for an internet application, no doubt about it. But�
There are not many organizations who run web applications, compared to those which have classic 2-tier applications running. The need for this kind of applications was and will continue to be HUGE !
     That is why we think it worth to develop a cool mechanism for LAN applications. It will be similar to normal browser-HTTP-web server mechanism, only the browser will be more cool, the protocol will be heavier (since data will not have to swim across the Internet ocean), faster and more powerful in order to achieve the performance of a 2-tier system. Instead of a web server there will be a �presentation server�, which will generate the �view� part (as in MVC pattern) and will deliver it to its cool browser.
Now let�s put all the pieces together. We have:
-     a data layer which, by the way, would be nice to be obiectual instead of relational;
-     a business layer;
-     a presentation layer: this would be one of the four parts of our cool mechanism;
-     a connection & deliver manager � the second part of our cool mechanism;
-     a cool protocol for local area network communication - the third part of our cool mechanism;
-     a cool �browser� used to access the applications on the server: the final piece.
The presentation layer: this layer will generate the visual format of the data to be displayed to the end user. This layer will have to overcome the limitations of the HTML/CSS/JavaScript/AJAX and to provide a native-like interface and joy of living to end-users.
The connection & delivery manager: this will be something like a web server. It will manage connections and will deliver the requested content to each client.
The protocol for local area network communication: this will not be stateless like HTTP, it will be specially designed for LAN communication, for easy development and also for the performance needed by enterprise class applications. The communication could also be done by messages like in the old PeopleSoft architecture.
The �Browser�, or maybe is better to call it �executer�: this will be platform dependent. It will receive from the presentation layer a �description� of the page to be displayed and will build/render the page based on the underlying operating system capabilities. That description will contain both the structure of the page and the data.
The four layers - data, business, presentation layers and the connection manager - may be part of the same server program if best performance is desired, or they can be different programs, as they are now in web applications. The business layer could be represented by a stored procedures engine inside the data server, or it can be a regular J2EE server. The cool browser can be a regular browser updated to support the new cool protocol, but it better be totally new.
Of course this new devices will have to be widely accepted and become a de-facto industry standard, otherwise the goal of Universal Platform will not be achieved.
A few words about terminal software solution. We do not like this solution because this software is complicated and the network traffic increases unacceptably. And a word about applets: it is not a bad idea, still there is place for serious improvement. And Flash ? Not bad.
This was my idea. I hope you like it. If not, let forgotness lay above it�

Can Not See Local Published Universe

Hey, In the Webi Rich Client running 4.0 I can't see the universe that I published to my local laptop.
I created the universe using Information Design Tool using an ODBC connection to a local Excel file.
I published that universe to the local directory that is defined in the Rich Client (under options). When I click on universe it makes me log on as 'standalone' .. then I get a blank screen.
When I use OPEN -> Files of type *.UNX -> navigate to the directory I see the universe, but when I try to load it I get the err:
Load Driver Call: Initialize (WIS 00000)" ?
There are no loops in my data foundation and the integrity check is fine as well.
Any help is appreciated.
Mike

Mike,
Let me clarify.
If you connect to Standalone mode, You will never connect to repository. (i.e.) You should have universe and Report together in your Local machine.
If you are connecting to repository(Enterprise,Windows AD,LDAP), Then you need to connect the repository copy of the Universe and Report.
As I already said in previous message, Whenever you export the universe, The physical .unv or .unx files will be moved to repository. as a result you cant open the report in Standalone mode. To overcome this try import the universe from repository and save it somewhere. Then try with standalone mode and repoint the report to refer local universe copy.
Hope you understand now.
Regards,
Mani

Data Federator connection from universe - commProtocol EBUS error

I am working with a prospect that is attempting to get a universe to communicate with DataFederator via JDBC. We modified the jdbc.sbo file and added the line
<Paramter Name="URL format">jdbc:datafederator://$DATASOURCE$;catalog'&quot';$DATABASE$'&quot';;commProtocol=EBUS</Parameter>
(single quotes were added above to preserver contents in quote marks, they are not really in the file)
along with the appropriate classpaths, per the XI3 datafederator release notes. However when the customer tries to connect via the connection manager in the universe the following error is thrown:
[Data Federator Driver] Invalid identifier for site wrapper in parameter 'commProtocol'. Reason: EBUS
Has anybody seen an error like this, and have any suggestion on how to correct it?
Thank you.

Hi Eric,
Can you tell me which version of Data Federator and BOE you are using?
It looks like you tried to configure Data Federator JDBC driver with a commProtocol that is not supported by this version of DF.
Are you using Data Federator XI 3.0 SP1 (12.1.0.0) or later version?
You can check the version of the Data Federator JDBC driver you are using by clicking "Test Connection" in Universe Designer. You will see the driver and database (DF) versions.
Make sure you are using the 12.1.0.0 version or later for both driver and server.

Data Federator Universe Date Functions

Hi,
I created a Data Federator Universe from target tables (Source Tables from: Sql Server 2005 and Oracle 10g). Now, I want to create a object in the universe: "Days between 2 dates"(coming from 2 different target tables). I don't see any other date functions other than CURDATE(). How to create my object?
Alternatively, Can I create a caliculated column in the existing target table? For Example, I want to create a new column "Days between 2 Dates" from 2 different tables by using a formula in Default mapping of the target table.
Thanks & Regards,
Peter

Hi Amit,
Thanks for your reply.
Ok. So, Universe on top of Data Federator has limited functionality.
And, other option you mentioned is on report level. I am creating an adhoc universe and I have few objects which will calculate days between 2 dates coming from 2 different tables.
But, how can I achieve this on Data Federator level. I have no function there to find Days Between 2 dates. I see lot of time and date functions but not the one I required. Also, I added a column in the target table and tried to apply the formula there in the default mapping area. But, I see only the selected target table. I need another date column from another table, which is not displayed in the default mapping area.
How can I achieve this?
Regards,
-Peter
