Some field worked correctly and other error as image below:
Please help me if anyone have suggestion.
Best regards,
Chenna Yon

Hi ..
Check connection is active and data source connected or not.
Project --> Double Click the connection --> Click on the Test Connection
Check the error fields data type and Projection Function defined correctly or not , coz some of
the data types are not support.
If still are getting error try to delete tables and insert once again and check able to see the
column values.

How to calculate first date of month from a given date in IDT BusinessObjects

Hello Experts,
I have a date field in IDT Universe which shows date in this format: Dec 13,2014 12.00.00 PM. Now I want to extract first day and last day of month from this date value. For example: here I want to see Dec 01,2014 12:00:00 PM and Dec 31, 2014 12:00:00 PM in First day of month and Last day of month columns. Also, if database date value is Nov 17, 2014 12:00:00 PM then in first day of month column, it should show Nov 01, 2014 12:00:00 PM and in last day of month it should show Nov 30, 2014 12:00:00 PM.
I got some google help but 'Date' function is not supported by IDT tool in BusinessObjects.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Try to use the DB Functions to find out the First and last day. Please find out the below screenshot.
If DB is BW, you can calculate the First and last day @ BW level use same object in BO directly.
SQL DB:
http://docs.oracle.com/html/A95915_01/sqfunc.htm#i1006893

Field Descriptions in the IDT

Hello,
Is there a way to get the field description in IDT 4.1? Currently my universe is incorporated with SAP ECC tables like MARA,MARC etc from the SQL.
But the fields like MATNR,MMSTA does not come up with the description. The user is writing a WEBi report on top of this universe but having hard time in pulling the fields into report, because its coming up with technical name only not with descrption.
Any help would be great.
thanks,
Vinay

Then you can change names of target fields in query transform in data Services.
OR
You can add field description in IDT.
So when user move mouse on that fields in query browser of webi report ,he can view field decription.

Updated field in CO01 unrecognized

Hello,
I update production scheduling profile (caufvd-sfcpf) in user exit EXIT_SAPLCOZF_003 at CO01. I added the field to HEADER_CUST and it is transferred outside. İt is a field of a subscreen. The transaction starts with the general tab and if I do not open the subscreen 130 the effects of this field do not take place.
I did this to automatically create batches at save. All other stuff work. caufvd-sfcpf is assigned correctly bu the subscreen still needs to be open. How can i activate this field or subscreen at initialization of CO01. I tried to call the subscreen or run the PBO and PAI of this screen in the background in user exits, but I couldn't.
caufvd-sfcpf is assigned as a foreign key at the subscreen. Could this be the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Solved it!
The letters in the value must be the same case as in the IMG. I changed the value of sfcpf from 'z00001' to 'Z00001' in the code. And it is solved...

SELECTION-SCREEN FIELD VALIDATION

Hi All!
         I am trying to write this ABAP program in 4.7 Enterprise. I wish to selectively display (based on radio buttons) selection screen blocks and make them mandatory in runtime. I use code like this:
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON SAL_ORG.    (this is one of the fields that will be obligatory)
    IF RD2 EQ 'X'.
        IF SAL_ORG IS INITIAL.
             MESSAGE 'THIS FIELD IS MANDATORY' TYPE 'I'.
        ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
Now, if I execute this as is, then I will get this message as soon as the block is displayed, not just after hitting the execution button. Can you please tell me how I should put a condition on this checking. I know it is triggered by SY-UCOMM = 'ONLI' but i am not sure where to put the condition.
               Thanks in advance!

hello J.C.!
              this is what worked for me finally:
              AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
              CHECK sy-ucomm EQ 'ONLI'.
              IF RD2 EQ 'X'.
                  IF SAL_ORG IS INITIAL.
                      MESSAGE 'THIS FIELD IS MANDATORY' TYPE 'I'.
                  ENDIF.
              ENDIF.
SAP says sscrfields-ucomm is unrecognized. can you please tell me what it is actually? why did you prefer using it instead of SY-UCOMM? If possible, please direct me to some good reference on calling selection screen.
I have given your answer 10 points by the way. I am very new here, so i don't know what exactly it's role is, but i figured it is something significant.

64bit CR-Enterprise wont talk with 32bit data source, 32bit IDT wont use 64bit connection for universe. How do I connect them.

Hi.
I installed the full suite of tools as I am involved with a company intended to become a partner and reseller so we are trying to get everything working.
SAP Crystal Server 2013 SP1
BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform
SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise
SAP HANA
SAP Crystal Reports 2013 SP1
SAP BusinessObjects Explorer
SAP Crystal Dashboard Design 2013 SP1
Crystal Server 2013 SP1 Client Tools
SAP BusinessObjects Live Office 4.1 SP1
.NET SDK
I found out that BI was needed only after I installed all the others but I installed it without problem.
My issue is that the Information Design Tool (IDT) which creates my universes successfully, and even lets me open and see the dada no problem. Is using a 32bit (ODBC connected to SQL Server 2008) data source.
However, I am unable to load the .UNX in crystal reports (CR) 2011, so I used CR Enterprise (CRE) to connect to my universe. Now when I try to open the universe I start getting the following error:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
When I do searches online I get very generic information relating to setting up data sources. While I believe the problem is indeed with the data source, I don't believe it is setup wrong.
When I access the universe using the IDT (which uses the 32bit version of the data source to build its connection, it wont let me use a 64bit) I can load a table under the "result objects for query #1" press refresh, I get a list of data.
When I access the same universe using CRE (which "Seems" to use a 64bit data source, but I am not sure), and follow the same process as above. I get the above error.
If I cancel the process, when CRE lists the fields for the report I can later manually map these fields to an ODBC connection. But if I have to do this what is the point of using the universes at all as the end user has full access to all the various DB's available in the data source.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

On the server where Crystal Reports Server is installed, create a 64-bit ODBC connection with the same name as the 32-bit connection. CRS will then automatically use the 64-bit version of the connection.

Universe level creation using IDT 4.0.

Hi All
I need one clarification regarding Universe level creation using IDT 4.0.
I have created small Universe based on 5 tables and I have one alias on this and I have given necessary joins and Created business layer.
When try to create report using only 2 tables for the report and as we have given join so its taking equal join for others tables which we dnt need for this report, for that we are not getting correct results.
User is requesting that whenever they select any tables it should link each other table and if they want to add any field from other table universe should automatically link each other and provide desired results.
Is there any possible to bulid the universe based on the requirement
Thanks & Regards
Murali

Hi,
could you qualify/quantify what you mean by "wrong results"?
It doesn't sound like the universe is finished, or are these changing requirements you need to implement?
with regards to incorrect results, there must still be joins, cardinalities, loops , contexts missing, or other integrity issues to be finalized first?
Regards,
H

Unrecognized Credential Entry in "Windows PowerShell credential required" form

Hello,
I opened a PowerShell session and typed in: $Credential = Get-Credential,
As I was about to enter my credentials, just out of curiosity I clicked on the down arrow in the User Name field and noticed an unrecognized entry. The user name was " @@Stuff#-BTTB " where Stuff is a 22 character long
alpha-numeric string; otherwise the same.
This user name doesn't appear in the Credential Manager. OS is Windows 8.1.
Should I be worried?
What can I do to look into this further?
Thanks in advance!
Amendment:
Noticed the user name of a credential I had used recently didn't appear in the drop-down, so I was incorrect in thinking the list of user names reflected the history of user names used. I am curious where these credentials (identifies(?)) are
being pulled from though?

I have serveal working computers, out of curiosity, I ran the powershell cmd, and scroll down the listed username in the pop-up, I also find the similiar credentials @@....#...around the computers, but go through the credential manager and certificate
manager and unable find the credential. I can make a promise that my system is not infected by some malware,so in my opinion, it should be created by the system itself without our notice, anyway, then system is to complex for us to understand, I just
leave it there.

How do you use labels from HANA as universe field descriptions?

Is there a way to automatically use the labels from a HANA view as either the field names or descriptions in the BO Universe? For example, my view has field VBELN and the label "Billing Document". In IDT I only see VBELN come through as the field name. I have hundreds of fields so don't want to go through and manually type in the description on each one. How can I get the labels defined in HANA to come through to BO?
Thank you!
AZ

@HI Jacqueline Rahn - I have a similar requirement, currently i have populated ECC tables in the SQL. And in the universe I have incorporated those tables, for some reason the fields are not displaying the descriptions.
Ex: MATNR should display as Material
You indicated above its possible in IDT 4.1, just curious can you please let me know where do I see that option to switch on the descriptions..
Appreciate your reply...
Thanks,
Vinay

Unrecognized selector sent to instance ** plz help

I have a navigation controlled app that display's different table views as you navigate down the path. I decided that I wanted to show a CustomCell instead of the regular default cells provided for the grouped style table.
I created the CustomCell.h and CustomCell.m files along with the CustomCell.xib nib file.
I have done this MANY times before in other projects but this one will not let me set any of the fields on the CustomCell. I have stipped this cell down to just one data element called 'desc' and it is a UILabel I am trying to set.
Here is the CustomCell.h file and some of the .m file using the CustomCell class.
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface CustomCell : UITableViewCell {
IBOutlet UILabel *desc;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *desc;
@end
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tv cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
static NSString *CustomCellIdentifier = @"CustomCellIdentifier";
CustomCell *cell2 = (CustomCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CustomCellIdentifier];
if (cell2 == nil)
NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"CustomCell" owner:self options:nil];
cell2 = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
...do some logic
cell2.desc.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", myText]; //ERROR OCCURS HERE
return cell2;
I receive the following error:
4/4/09 2:27:20 PM todo[1484] * Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '* -[NSObject desc]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x5239b0'
The links are all set in IB and the CustomCell is set to be of Class "CustomCell"
Anyone have any idea why I cannot set the value of the UILabel for the cell2 object?
Thanks in advance

RayNewbie wrote:
I think the recommendation was to make sure the object you got from your nib was an instance of the class you expected. This sounds like an especially good idea given the difference in behavior on the two platforms. For example:
if (cell2 == nil)
NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"CustomCell" owner:self options:nil];
cell2 = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
// debug code aka introspection
if ([cell2 isMemberOfClass:[CustomCell class]])
NSLog(@"%@ is CustomCell", cell2);
else {
NSLog (@"%@ is not CustomCell", cell2);
That is fairly limiting and isn't good practice. You see that approach more in C++, which isn't as strong an object-oriented language as Objective-C. Even in C++ though, there are better ways to handle it.
In Objective-C, it is pretty easy. Look at it from the perspective of what you want to do. Then, you ask the object if it can do what you want via "respondsToSelector:"

Insert a Value into a Text Field

Hello,
I have a prbmel. I have a Text Field Item on my page. Now I want that it loads automatically, so before de header is loaded, a value out of a tabel in it. Therefore I created an PL/SLQ statement
declare
function get_current_id return number
is
ret number;
begin
for i in (select my_column idt from my_tabel)
loop
ret:= i.idt;
end loop;
return ret;
end;
begin
:P1_ID:=get_current_id;
end;
I know taht it is working becasue I have tested it in the SQL Command line but in the Page the Value isn't displyed. Can someone tell me why?

Hi
I think you are trying to populate ID value (primary key) with the last value of your table? Is that you are trying? If it's NUMBER column you better try to use MAX function..
Since you want default value for only one item, Edit item P1_ID -> go to Default value section
Select default type as SQL and put following SQL
SELECT MAX(my_column) FROM my_table;So on page load, P1_ID will get populated with MAX value of my_column from my_table

JSp or JSF Unrecognized Content Type.

I have a simple JSF application that simply creates a panelGrid dynamically based on an input field I supply stating how many grids to render. The initial page loads up fine but when I click on either of the buttons to exit or submit the request to render the grid I get the following exception::

Agreed. JSPX is a well-formed version of a JSP file (i.e. an XML version of JSP). Thus, it is easy to produce pages that adhere to strict XHTML standards. A couple of things that you will need to do in JSPX files is escape ampersands and close script tags with a complete tag closure rather than the customary shortcut.

IDT not supporting CLOB Object

Hi Experts,
I am using IDT 4.1 and Oracel 11g. I need to use CLOB object in IDT. I have searched a lot but not got a successfull method to use CLOB. I have split the CLOB column into N number of objects and concatenating the same at WebI level which eventually causing some sort of data truncation at report level.
This same approach was followed in BO 6.5 as well as 3.x
Can u provide a better approach? I am really in dark as SAP told that they have handled CLOB properly in 4.x.
N.B. I have used dbms_lob.substr() function as well with long text in universe, but no result as dbms_lob.substr() is not returning more than 4000 characters. My object field length is abt 91k.
I have followed the steps descxribed here: Universe Objects on CLOBs/BLOBs
Regards,
Arup

Apart from this: checking resolutions and redirecting accordingly is heavily discouraged. Just design for at least 800x600 or even 1024x768 and forget about it. It will save you much effort and time. By the way, ignoring bigger resolutions isn't a good idea .. I use 2560x1024 at home and 1600x1080 at work, why should I arrive at the error page?

RFC Parameter values during IDT promotion

Hello,
I created IDT on ECC using RFC function module and want to promote to Further environments for further testing.
How can I handle RFC Prameter values(ID) while promoting to Quality Environment.
for example in Development RFC value : BWD_100
Quality RFC Value : BWQ_200
In DEV environment I set RFC value as default : BWD_100.
How Can I change RFC value to point to Quality system in Quality environment after promotion.
Santhosh

Hi Raj,
I could able to test no.. by giving those parameter, its really a good workaround..
But i have some issue again..
Initially when i customized RFC the response is with 10 fields, but now i have added another 3 fields at the output, but when i try to execute the RFC Lookup, the values is not getting populated for the newly added fields ( I mean for the 3 fields, remaining works fine)
In similar when i test the RFC at R/3 end its throwing response for all the fields, i mean for these 3 fields i can see the value at R/3 level but when i see in PI i couldn't see those values in display queue..
requiere some help for troubleshooting this..
regards,
sai.

Fields in DSO & Cube

Hi experts,
I have the field 0fiscyear in my dso and also in the cube. But
when creating transformation the field 0fiscyear is present in
the dso but not in the cube. So that i am unable to create
transformation for 0fiscyear.Anyone please explain me what
should i do to make the field visible in the cube.
And one more question. How can we select or hide the fields
of 0fi_ar_3.This data source is not visible in LBWE.
Full points will be assigned.
Thanks & Regards,

once you gets into statistical setup give name of the run and termination time and date to setup then gofor excution

before all this make sure your data source as active.
i hope this is clear na
