Use of Filter

Hi,
Can someone explain the exact use of the Filters in the business process.
What are the other advantages of filters.
Thanks in advance,
Sekhar

Hi,
Filters are used to restrict the display of the data records. For example you need to restrict the data for the total sales from X company code and Y sales District for a Z material.
You select the filters on above variables and execute the report.
'Filter' in reporting means limiting to a particular category of values or a characteristic. Suppose you have to prepare a report which is country specific. You can prepare one report but filter it with diff values of diff countries. The char Country can have diff values like US, IN, UKand so on.....When you filter the country object with IN, values related to IN only will be displayed in the report. Will filter the by restricting the object with only IN.

IP Characteristic Relationship used via Filter for derivation in Query

Hello Experts,
hopefully you can help me with following issue:
Currency is an Attribute from Company. I created a Characteristic Relationsship to derive Currency from Company
Afterwards I created an Aggregation Level with fields
Currency, Company, Material, Amount, Quantity, Unit.
On this Aggregation Level I defined a Filter with Company which will be filled from a Variable (Replacement Path, Query, single value).
I use this Filter in a Ready-Input Query and defined it like follows:
Rows: Amount and Quantity (restricted to TO)
Column: Material and Currency
The field currency should be filled automatically with Currency from Company but it did't. Due to this the Query is not ready input.
I know that it can be filled via User Exit but this is my last solution if nothing else is working. A Variable with Replacementh path and filled by Attribute of Company does not solve my issue.
Thank you in advance for any help.
Kind Regards
Doris

Hello,
thank you all for your answers. I used Workpackages for my issue. I picked it upfrom the "How to Use workpackages to control Locking in BI Integrated Planning".
With this solution I can fill the currency with Replacmenth Path from Attribute Company.
This is the first time that I worked with Workpackages for Authorization and I can recomend it because you don't need an User Exit.
Kind Regards
Doris

Use of filter to JSF faces servlet

Hi
I have a JSF application which is secured by a custom security framework (similar to SITE MINDER). The security framework after authentication passes the authenticated user name within a in-memory session cookie.
The entire user information like his group and access restrictions (field / UI compoonent level) resides in the application database
I have used a filter to JSF Faces servlet to retrieve the user information from the database and storing in session.
Is this use of filter a good approach?

I would fetch such information only once and store it in a simple session scoped bean after a successful login, but I am weird for wanting to do things in a simple way.
A filter can work to validate if the user is still "logged in" (IE. his/her session didn't expire), but since this is JSF you could also use a phase listener for such a purpose.

Replacement Path variable cannot be used in filter

After creating a variable of type replacement path with query I get the error message:
Errors: Variable ... cannot be used in 'Filter' 'Default Values'; remove
Does anyone know what is causing this message and how to prevent it?
Thanks.
Regards,
József.

Thanks for your response Bhargava,
Your answer did help me find the solution. When using a replacement path variable with query, you can only use the variable in the Characteristic Restrictions part of the Filters (not in the Default Values).
The characteristic itself can still be used for navigation.
p.s. Found that when copying a query some links to structures, like restricted key-figures, are kept in the metadata repository, even after removing them from the query. This can also cause error messages.

József.

Where to locate and how to use the filter thershould to binarized image

Good morning friends. I am using
Labview with VDM and let me know where to locate and how to use the
filter thershould. Also that parameters used to binarized image captured
via webcam and display it in black and white.
Thank you very
much.

Is the image that you are getting a RGB one? Use color plane extraction and then use a binary threshold to convert it into a binary image. You can also directly use a color threshold and convert a rgb (color) image to a binary image.

Using a filter in RUN Allocation

Does anyone know how to use a filter in the WHAT, WHERE clauses in RUN Allocation?
I need to use something like WHERE=%STAT_ACCTS% AND [GROUP]<>"PL" but it dosen't work.
On the contrary, is there a way to get the basemembers of a parent ID based on a filter?
I could also use something like *XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT =BAS(STACCTS) AND [GROUP]<>"PL" but XDIM_MEMBERSET does not support conditions.
Thanks in advance for help!

Thanks for the replies... but my problem is still not solved... if either of the following could work that would solve this:
a) have my xdim_memberset set to only those products which meet the condition [LEVEL]="seg" and are the bas members of the product i pick from the hierarchy. For this i would need a select statement which works like:
*SELECT(%SKU%,[ID],"PRODUCT","[PARENTH1]=%PRODUCT_SET% AND [LEVEL]='SEG' ")
OR
b) a way to create a variable using xdim_filter that i can use anywhere else in my code
c) put a condition in the WHERE clause of the allocation script so i could use something like:
DIM PRODUCT WHAT=something; WHERE=BAS(%PRODUCT_SET%) AND [LEVEL]="SEG";
but none of the above options are working

Its a bug. References BUG:16231709 - OBIA7964:ERROR WHILE CREATING DATA WAREHOUSE TABLES USING DAC 11G
So far the workaround is to use one Container Name at a time when creating the Warehouse.

Use Of Filter and Drill Down By Option in Context Menu

Hi,
We are on BI 7.0 patch 14.0
I have the Filter and Drill Down by option checked in the context menu Web item in WAD . However when I preview on the Web what happens is that the characteristic that I am using the filter and drill down on shows up horizontally as opposed to in a column.
For eg: If I have the following data initially
01/01/2007     250
02/01/2007    500.
I keep my cursor on 01/01/2007 and do a filter and drill down by 0calqtr then what I see now is
01/2007    02/2007 03/2007 04/2007
instead of
01/2007
02/2007
03/2007
04/2007.
Each CalQtr will have a key figure Value beside it in the horizontal mode.
This happens only when I pick the characteristic on the Graph. On the Web Item Analysis it works fine. Has anyone faced this issue before. This worked fine when it was WAD 3.5. This affects the presentation of the graph. For Objects that have not been migrated the result still shows fine.

Content Query not producing results when using [Me] filter

Hi
I'm using a Content Query web part and I'm trying to show the most recent document modified by each site user by applying it across the site collection and using the Filter, Modified By [_Hidden] equals [Me]. However, this doesn't seem to work for any user
- the web part is always blank. I have tried different combinations such changing equals to contains, and using the Modified By field etc - nothing gives me the correct results. If I instead take the [Me] out and instead use the "people chooser"
and set to a specific person then I seem to get the results I would expect - however I cannot hard code a given user.
Does anyone know how to use [Me] correctly?
Thanks

How to use Hierarchy Filter Selection?

Hi, experts !
Could anyone give me a detail for how to use hierarchy filter selection ?
When i locate a Hier filter selection in the template and execute it, a false info
accured while filtering data,and the IE inferred the hier node object was missing.
Then i add another hier filter in the same template, and the secend runs well, however the first one didn't.
At last, i hide the first one, but the second one can't either.
Help me !!!
Thx in advance!

Thanks Toja !
Sorry to reply so late !
The error is line: 51. error:'document.HIERARCHY_MENU_1.NODEID' is null or is not the object.
The code on line of 51 says:document.HIERARCHY_MENU_1.NODEID.value = i_node;
Could you please give me some documents on the topic of Hierarchy Filter Selection ?

How to Use and Filter Table contents after execution of Bapi

Can anybody guide me how to Use and Filter the table Contents which i got after successful execution of a Bapi
I used Component Controller in my Project
Ex: My table contains Redundant data for a single column but i want to display the column contents with out Redundancy
Name
Raghu
Raghu
Raghu
Debasish
Debasish
I want to filter the table contents and i want to display the table with out Redundancy
and Even when i am using a Dropdown i selected a Column from a Table as the values for that Dropdown but that table is having redundant data and the same data is getting displayed in that Dropdown i want the Dropdown to display data with out redundancy
Thanks

I also got that problem recently and after debuging for a while I figured out, that it was resulting from an error in my table's model: When the model received new items to display I
1.) Fired an delete event for the old items
2.) Fired an insert event for the new items
Problem was that when firing the delete event I didn't already assigned the new items to the model. Therefore it had still the old row count.
Maybe you have also a faulty table model?...

DM Export Base Member Selection -- Need to Use a Filter

Hi Experts,
Posting a follow-up on this one. Does anyone know how to run the Data Manager Export package when producing a (relatively) large data set?
The challenge is that when running an Export, you'd want to chose all base-level members in some dimensions. For example, you might select all Cost Centers in your Costing dimension and in the Data Manager member selector screen, you could simply filter for something like CALC=N or BAS(ALL CostCenters), etc. ...However, once you click "OK", BPC will return to the Data Manager dialogue and tell you that you have chosen too many members for the dialogue and that you should use a Filter, or your member selections will be truncated.
Also sometimes, you can see in the box the message " [FILTER: MYFILTER] as this other user noted before (also unanswered question):
[BPC Export data with filter]
Thanks for any suggestions.
Garrett

Shot in the dark but worth noting...
Do you have more than 1024 base entities? A common oversight is that your grid setting are set to display only 1024 rows (default) and you have to click on the down arrow in the HFM toolbar to view the next page of rows/entities. You can also increase the # of rows to display in a grid so as to display all rows on the same page.

View dimension hierarchy using the filter property of data form

Hi,
I created a data form where I want to show the dimension hierarchy. But when I am filtering the form using attribute dimension then the hierarchy is not being shown in the form.Is their any way so that I can use the filter property also and make the dimension hierarchy visible in the data form?
Thanks.

Hi Endy,
Thanks for your reply. I have used the "equal" function as to set that specific attribute as I am choosing the descendants function against the attribute dimension,it's showing error.Hi,
What's the error ? You have to use a function, otherwise it will only display the member you picked.
Actually in our dimension structure we have a 3 generation hierarchy and the attribute is only associated with the 3rd generation member. So we want to display the 3rd generation having the specific attribute "xx" wit the entire hierarchical structure in our data form.
Can you please tell me if I have missed anything?
Thanks.If you want to display the attribute value in the form, edit the form, go to the "Layout" tab, and click on your row. On the right side of the screen, you have a section called Display Properties. Check the box called Enable custom attributes, then check your attribute name. Save the form and you will have the attribute value displayed at the right of the member name.
