Use of semantic groups to aggregate data

In a number of threads - e.g. Semantic Groups in DTP it is stated that you cannot use semantic groups to aggregate data. In others, there are statements that this is only for handling the error stack.
This I find puzzling, as the SAP Help says:
+Choose Semantic Groups to specify how you want to build the data packages that are read from the source (DataSource or InfoProvider). To do this, define key fields. Data records that have the same key are combined in a single data package.
This setting is only relevant for DataStore objects with data fields that are overwritten. This setting also defines the key fields for the error stack. By defining the key for the error stack, you ensure that the data can be updated in the target in the correct order once the incorrect data records have been corrected.+
The experience of one of my clients is that you can indeed use Semantic Groups, and you do not need to define an error-DTP. ( Change the error handling on the Update tab to, e.g. "1 Valid Records Update, No Reporting" - then the key fields displayed after perssing the semantic group button become available ).
Any comments? Have I misunderstood the point that the others have been making?

Hi Matt,
Semantic group is used to define the groupiing of records by data package. If you select 0PLANT as a Semantic group, each packet of data will contain all values of 0PLANT until the Max record is reach. Example, Package Size is set to 50K. If you have 30K of 0PLANT = 0002 and 22K of 0PLANT = 0003. First packet will contain 52K records of plant 0002 & 0003. The next packet will start with plant 0004 and will contain all records with 0004. If this doesn't make 50K records then plant 0005 will be included in packet 2.

Use of Semantic Groups in DTP

Hi,
can you pls help me in telling use of semantic groups in DTP.
Thanks

Hi Jose,
BI 7 DTP Semantic Groups:
- the key of Error Stack;
- subset of the key of the target object
- defines which data should be detained from the update after the erroneous data record (for DSO objs)
- semantic groups bundle records with same sem, group key into the same request

DataLoad into Write-optimized DSO with DTP and semantic groups

hi gurus,
i'm going crazy with my current problem.
i searched in the other posts of this topic, but i did not found a solution.
here my situation:
i created a w-o-DSO with semantic key (0ucinstalla, 0calmonth, zbelnum, 0unit) and three key figures.
now i'm loading from several cubes data into the DSO. (i need the historical data)
in every transformation, i implemented an expertroutine which collects the data into the result_package.
in the routine, i even clear the record number before collecting the result_rows.
in the DTPs, i'm using a semantic group for 0ucinstalla in order to select all rows for one 0ucinstalla into one data-package.
each DTP has to run one time in full mode.
but when i schedule the third DTP, i get the message: "duplicate record"
i checked the active data in dso. there was no record with that semantic key.
i found a record with the same 0ucinstalle for a diferent month - in my opinion, thats no duplicate record...
is there a dependence between semantic key in DSO and semantic group in DTP?
how can i solve this error?
regards,
philipp

Hi,
thx for your fast replies!!
@ Passing by:
I know the option "Do not check uniqueness of data".
At DSO do not arrive any duplicates and i would like to use the check of uniqueness in future, if there really arrive duplicate records.
@ Durgesh Gandewar: thx for the hint, but i also checked this website...

Selecting Semantic Group Key Fields for Cube to Cube DTP

Is it possible to use the semantic group key fields selection when performing a DTP between two infoCubes? When I try to select the key field of 0CALWEEK, i am unable to as the selection screen is grayed out like I'm in display mode even though I'm in change mode for the DTP.
Thanks,
Matthew

Hi,
Have you initialized the planning area for the 11th key figure to be loaded. Make sure that the key figure which you want to load is initialized for the planning version for the respective planning area.
Also check the loading period inside the variant is within the planning area initialized period for that key figure. And make sure that you have made the key figure assignment for the info cube and planning area inside the variant.
thanks and regards

Sum of LineCount Including Groups and Detail Data On Each Page Used To Generate New Page If TotalPageLineCount 28

Post Author: tadj188#
CA Forum: Formula
Needed: Sum of LineCount Including Groups and Detail Data On Each Page Used To Generate New Page If TotalPageLineCount > 28
Background:
1) Report SQL is created with unions to have detail lines continue on a page, until it reaches page footer or report footer, rather than using subreports.    A subreport report is now essentially a group1a, group1b, etc. (containing column headers and other data within the the report    with their respective detail lines). I had multiple subreports and each subreport became one union.
Created and tested, already:
1) I have calculated @TotalLineForEachOfTheSameGroup, now I need to sum of the individual same group totals to get the total line count on a page.
Issue:
1) I need this to create break on a certain line before, it dribbles in to a pre-printed area.
Other Ideas Appreciated:
1) Groups/detail lines break inconveniently(dribble) into the pre-printed area, looking for alternatives for above situation.
Thank you.

How to aggregate data with BI Publisher using an OBIEE analysis

Hello,
I'm new with BI Publisher, and I have a concern about the ability for BIP to aggregate data.
I am creating a data source from an OBIEE analysis containing the columns "Year", "Month", and "Revenue".
I want to use this source for 1 report containing several pages. One of the page has a simple table displaying only the Year and the Revenue.
But I get as many rows as number of months is the year.
And I cannot find any way to have the data aggregate inside my PIB table.
Can someone help me finding the solution?
Many thanks in advance

Hi,
Unfortunalty BIP doesn't aggregate anything, like the BI server does. It will always show data on the lowest level.
If you use a query on the BI-server let the BI server do the aggregation and just remove the "Month" column. If you don't want to remove it from your OBI analysis, copy the logical SQL from this analysis to BIP. And select OBIEE as a datasource.
Then remove month from your query.

Use of customer group 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5 in Sales order Header Additional dat ?

Hi,
Can somebody explain the Use of customer group 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5 in Sales order Header ? Is it only meant for reporting?
Thanks

Try:
Sales and Distribution -> Master Data -> Business Partners -> Customers -> Sales -> Maintain reserve fields in customer master
Help to this topic says:
There are reserve fields in the customer master record which are not used in the standard system. They are available for use and are as follows:
Customer group 1 (View: V_TVV1 Field:KVGR1)
Customer group 2 (View: V_TVV2 Field:KVGR2)
Customer group 3 (View: V_TVV3 Field:KVGR3)
Customer group 4 (View: V_TVV4 Field:KVGR4)
Customer group 5 (View: V_TVV5 Field:KVGR5)
You can find the fields in the customer master record under the sales and distribution data in Sales. Choose additional data under Environment.
It is advisable to change the field description (Data elements KVGR1 to KVGR5).
This is described in the system modifications in the Reserve fields unit of the customer master record:
Reserve Fields in Customer Master
Record
In this step you maintain the valid entries for the individual views.
Did this help you?

Can I store only the aggregate data in OLAP cube

Hi All,
I know that the OLAP cubes store the leaf data and then builds the aggregate data on top of it and stores with in it. I have huge amounts of data ( like billions of data in my fact table and 6-8 dimension tables). If you keep the leaf data along with the agg data with in the cube would be too large to build.
So I am thinking to have to store only the agg data within the OLAP cube and for the leaf data it should still read from the Relational tables. Something like Hybrid OLAP.
(what I mean is
1. create the dimensions and cube in the AWM on 11g.
2. I will also specifiy the levels that I want the agg data to be calculated and stored in the OLAP cube.
(what I want is
1. I want to store only the agg data in the cube and leaf data still in the relatlional tables.
2. when I read the cube and drill down to the leaf level , it should fetch the leaf level data.
Is this possible in Oracle OLAP, if yes please provide some pointers
Thanks
S

First you should try out storing and aggregating data to atleast see if the cube-loading time, query-time and AW-size is within acceptable limit or not. 11gOLAP especially 11gR2 OLAP is very efficient on all three fronts.
Regarding specifying levels, you can either use Cost-based-aggregation and pick the %age that should be pre-aggregated OR you can use Level-based-aggregation and pick the levels from each dimension that should be pre-aggregated.
Try these out before venturing into anything else. You will be surprised by the results. There are other ways to store the data in smaller multiple-cubes and joining those cubes through formulas. Make sure you don't mistake an attribute for a dimension.
Not sure what you mean by just storing aggregated data in olap cubes. You can just do a SUM .. GROUP BY .. of relational data before loading it into olap cubes. For example, if you source data is at DAY level, you can SUM.. GROUP BY .. at MONTH-level and then load month-level data into olap cubes where leaf-level is month-level.
The sql view (used by reporting tools) could then be a join between month-level "olap" data and "day-level" relational data. When you are drilling-down on the data, the sql view will pick up data from appropriate place.
One more thing. Drill-Thru to detail data is a functionality of reporting tools also. If you are using OBIEE or Discoverer Plus OLAP, then you can design the reports in a way that after you reach the olap leaf-level, then it will take the user to a relational detail-report.
These are all just quick suggestions (on a Friday evening). If possible, you should get Oracle OLAP Consulting Group help, who can come up with good design for all your reporting needs.

Dynamically group records by date

I am attempting to create a report that will dynamically group records into a set number of date buckets. This is similar to grouping records by a date field and setting the days, weeks, months, etc property but instead of grouping by a set time span I want to a specific number of date groups regardless of date span. So say i have records where the first date is today at 1am and the last record is today at 9 pm. I want the data grouped into 10 groups and the time calculated for that group based on total time span / 10. The first group would be 1AM to 3AM, the second would group 3AM to 5AM, etc.. The reason I am doing this is for a chart that displays record counts over time but the overall timespan will never be known until runtime. Setting the chart for hourly or weekly doesn't work because if the user runs the report over a year the dates will be illegible.
Thanks in advance!

Well this SHOULD be easy. But leave it to CR make not...
You can start by finding the minimum & maximum dates within your range:
Local DateTimeVar MinDate;
MinDate := Minimum({Table.DateField})
and
Local DateTimeVar MaxDate;
MaxDate := Maximum({Person.ModifiedDate})
Then figure out what the the interval would be if the span is broken down into 10 equal parts"
DateDiff("n", {@MinDate}, {@MaxDate}) / 10
From there just use a formula to segregate each records into the appropriate groups:
EvaluateAfter({@Interval});
IF {Table.DateField} >= {@MinDate}
    AND {Table.DateField} <= DateAdd("n",{@Interval}, {@MinDate}) THEN 1 ELSE
IF {Table.DateField} > DateAdd("n",{@Interval}, {@MinDate})
    AND {Table.DateField} <= DateAdd("n",{@Interval} * 2, {@MinDate}) THEN 2 ELSE
IF {Table.DateField} > DateAdd("n",{@Interval} * 2, {@MinDate})
    AND {Table.DateField} <= DateAdd("n",{@Interval} * 3, {@MinDate}) THEN 3 ELSE
IF{Table.DateField} > DateAdd("n",{@Interval} * 3, {@MinDate})
    AND{Table.DateField} <= DateAdd("n",{@Interval} * 4, {@MinDate}) THEN 4 ELSE
IF {Table.DateField} > DateAdd("n",{@Interval} * 4, {@MinDate})
    AND {Table.DateField} <= DateAdd("n",{@Interval} * 5, {@MinDate}) THEN 5 ELSE
IF {Table.DateField} > DateAdd("n",{@Interval} * 5, {@MinDate})
    AND {Table.DateField} <= DateAdd("n",{@Interval} * 6, {@MinDate}) THEN 6 ELSE
IF {Table.DateField} > DateAdd("n",{@Interval} * 6, {@MinDate})
    AND {Table.DateField} <= DateAdd("n",{@Interval} * 7, {@MinDate}) THEN 7 ELSE
IF {Table.DateField} > DateAdd("n",{@Interval} * 7, {@MinDate})
    AND{Table.DateField} <= DateAdd("n",{@Interval} * 8, {@MinDate}) THEN 8 ELSE
IF {Table.DateField} > DateAdd("n",{@Interval} * 8, {@MinDate})
    AND {Table.DateField} <= DateAdd("n",{@Interval} * 9, {@MinDate}) THEN 9 ELSE
IF {Table.DateField} > DateAdd("n",{@Interval} * 9, {@MinDate})
    AND {Table.DateField} <= {@MaxDate} THEN 10
This is where CR drops the ball... IMHO... it WON'T allow you to to group by a formula field that uses an aggregate in the formula (in this case Minimum & Maximum)... It will however allow to to graph on it, which I assume is what you are actually trying to do. If anyone knows a way to work around the grouping issue, I'd love to know it myself.

Problem in displaying detail along with Aggregate data.

Hi
I am new to BIP and I am facing problem to display detail as well as aggregate values at a time.
My data is like below
Security Value
S1 10
S2 20
S3 30
S3 40
S4 50
S5 60
S5 70
I want to display data in report as
Security Value
S1 10
S2 20
S3 30
S3 40
Total S3 70
S4 50
S5 10
S5 70
Total S5 80
I tried using for <?for-each-group:G_2;./Security?> but I am getting following output:
Security Value
S1 10
S2 20
S3 30
Total S3 70
S4 50
S5 10
Total S5 80
Template:

<?if:count(current-group()/SECNAME)>1?> Total <?Security?>:<?sum(current-group()/Value)?> <?end if?> <?end for-each-group?>
The problem is I need to display detail as well as aggregate data. Please suggest.

Hi Kavipriya

Using Office 2013 group policy template to define Trusted Locations and Template Locations doesn't work

User Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates
- Using Office 2013 group policy template to define Trusted Locations and Template Locations doesn't work
Microsoft Word 2013/Word Options/Security/Trust Center/Trusted Locations
- Allow Trusted Locations on the network:
Enabled
- Trusted Location #1:
Enabled
Path: //server/sharedfoldername [Edit: Path:
\\server\sharedfoldername]
Date: June 10, 2013
Description: Trusted Location
Allow sub folders: Enabled
The policy appears to apply to the client correctly by adding the following registry key and values:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\15.0\word\security\trusted locations\location1
allowsubfolders: 1
date: June 10, 2013
Description: Trusted Location
Path: //server/sharedfoldername [Edit: Path:
\\server\sharedfoldername]
However, when you open Word Options/Trust Centre/Trust Centre Settings…/Trusted Locations
There are no trusted locations listed under ‘Policy Locations’
I have tried setting similar settings for setting the Shared Templates folder location and just like the trusted locations policy, the registry keys are created properly in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies however word doesn’t
seem to recognize these either.
This used to work flawlessly using the administrative templates for Word 2007 and 2010. Has anyone been able to get these policies to apply successfully, or know why office doesn’t recognize these settings from the Policies registry
Key?

This would have been an easy solution to the issue. Unfortunately it isn't the problem. This question was originally posted on another Microsoft site and
was transferred here and when it was transferred the path's changed from the original post:
\\server\sharedfodlername to //server/sharedfoldername. (I will edit the question to show up as it did in the original post) Not sure how that happened. This
is still an issue that I haven't been able to get working correctly.
As it turns out the 'New from Template' interface Word 2013 has developed is very bulky with large thumbnails and is not very customizable nor practical for an office
that has a large number of templates. Because I am unsatisfied with the display and performance of the 'New' template chooser I sought after a solution to change the way word creates a document from a template in another thread:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-word/how-can-you-change-the-display-of-templates-in/d49194b9-a6b4-4768-8502-7d7b50e9dd65 working through this issue with Jay we were able to develop
some VB script with handles a very large number of templates in a list view and it works much faster than the built-in Word interface. The above thread is how I've worked around trying to define a shared template location and I am quite happy with it.

Executing a Job via Web Services using a Server Group?

When executing a job from Designer or from the Management Console you have the option to select a specific job server or a server group.
But when executing a job via Web Services it uses the first job server with which the repository was associated (i.e. the first job server listed in AL_MACHINE_INFO).
Is there a way to get the job to execute using a server group instead simply choosing the first job server in the list?
Note: We are using FIM to execute the jobs via web services and don't have access to additional parameters.

Joe
Here is the where you can change the server group/job server.
- After you add the Batch/real Time job as a webservice.
- Go to the Webservice Batch Job Attribute and from the drop down choose the "Enable job Attributes" and hit apply.
- After this if you use the WSDL URL http://<Data Services Web Server>:<Web server Port>/DataServices/servlet/webservices?ver=2.0&wsdlxml
- You will see the job attributes that you can change based on the allowed parameters mentioned in the documentation.
The batch job or real time job is published without the job parameters by default. Once you enable the job attributes, remove and re publish the batch job as a web service. The application making the call to this webservice should be able to read the WSDL generated by Data services and pickup all the input and output parameters of the method.
Refer to the Data Services Integrator guide (Chapter 3 : pages 25 - 33 ) to get the exact parameter values permitted via Data Services jobs called via web services.
Hope this helps!
Thanks & Regards

How to make use of the 'Groups' in Screen Layout?

Hi All,
I have a screen with 10 input fields (F1, F2, .. F10).
I set the 'Groups' attribute in the screen layout to 'DIS'.
How could I make use of this 'Groups' attribute so that when I loop the screen, I will only disable fields with the 'Groups' attribute set to 'DIS'? Thanks
I tried the following codes, but it's not working:
LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF SCREEN-GROUPS IS NOT 'DIS'.
      SCREEN-INPUT = '1'.
      MODIFY SCREEN.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
It says ==> The data object 'SCREEN' does not have a component called 'GROUPS'.

In the Attributes of a screen field, there is an attribute called "Groups". This has 4 options for input (4 text boxes)
SCREEN has 4 fields GROUP1, GROUP2, GROUP3 and GROUP4.
The first text box under Groups attribute corresponds to SCREEN-GROUP1,
2nd text box for SCREEN-GROUP2
3rd text box for SCREEN-GROUP3
4th text box for SCREEN-GROUP4
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
