Using CPM Variable within SEM BSC

Hi,
My client would like to have scorecard in Europe. he would like also drilldown through different structure :
- Europe
- Country (France, UK...)
- Department (HR, Finance)...
I thought It was possible to use CPM variable with Structure object and create only one scorecard (scorecard is the same for every structure). Unfortunately, I didn't success in using CPM variable.
Is there a way to achieve this (creation of multiple scorecards...) ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Thanks for your answer.
I agree with you when you say that if you maintain values in CPM variable, it will point to either cointinent or country and not both. That's what we want.
I need to know the best way to have a scorecard for Europe, one for France, one for UK....
Do we have to create one scorecard by element or is it possible to use CPM variable to achieve this ?
I didn't find a way, as we can do in Management cockpit, to change directly in the presentation the value of the variable CPM.
Thanks in advance

Using jsp variables within JSP tag

I have a variable defined within a JSP:
<%
String cust_id = request.getParameter("cust_id");
%>
I want to use this variable as a parameter to a custom tag:
<%@ taglib uri="/tlds/DBTags.tld" prefix="db" %>
<db:MultiColumnSelect columns="c.id, c.po" name="ccar_id" table_name="ccar_headers c, ccar_rmas r" selectString="r.ccar_id = c.id AND c.cust_id = <%= cust_id %>"/>
The selectString value that is passed to my tag is:
r.ccar_id = c.id AND c.cust_id = <%= cust_id %>
The <%= cust_id %> is not replaced by the actual variable value.
How would I accomplish using this variable within my JSP tag?

Your definition of the selectString attribute must indicate that it can accept runtime expressions.
<%
String cust_id = request.getParameter("cust_id");
String selectString = new String("r.ccar_id = c.id AND c.cust_id = " + cust_id);
%>
<%@ taglib uri="/tlds/DBTags.tld" prefix="db" %>
<db:MultiColumnSelect columns="c.id, c.po" name="ccar_id" table_name="ccar_headers c, ccar_rmas r"
selectString="<%= selectString %>"/>

How do I use a variable within a sql statement

I am trying to use a local variable within an open SQL step but I keep getting an error.
My sql command looks like this "SELECT BoardDetailID FROM BoardDetails WHERE SerialNumber = " + locals.CurrentSerialNo
If I replace the locals.CurrentSerialNo with an actual value such as below the statement works fine.
"SELECT BoardDetailID FROM BoardDetails WHERE SerialNumber = " + " 'ABC001' "
Can someone tell me how to correctly format the statement to use a variable?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I have changed the required variable to a string, but with no success. I have reattached my updated sequence file and an image of the error.
When looking at the Data operation step I see that the sql statement is missing everything after the last quotation mark.
Thanks again,
Stuart

How do I use a variable within paragraphFormat?

I would like to insert the firstname of a client within paragrapgFormat(). ie: paragraphFormat(Hi #firstname#, your info......) When I output this the firstname just shows as #firstname#. Is there a way to get his to work?

The first instance of 'FirstName' is a variable name. Whereas the last instance is a substring within the string defined by getInfo.message. I am assuming that the message you have saved in the database is:
"Hi" & FirstName & ",
We are writing to you to inform you that we received your request to schedule the...
You could modify the code as follows. Give the queries separate names, say, getUser and getMessage. Omit the columns userID and messID from the respective queries. This is because the where-clauses already specify the values.
What you could then do is replace the substring " & FirstName & " in getMessage.message with the variable getUser.FName. The result would be something like

<CFQUERY Name="getUser" datasource="#application.dsn#">
SELECT fNname, lName, email, company, phone
FROM users
where userID = 1
</CFQUERY>
<cfset firstNameString = " " & trim(getUser.fName) & " ">

<cfquery name="getMessage" datasource="#application.dsn#">
select name, message
from messages
where messID = 1
</cfquery>
<table width="300" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="1">
<tr><td>
<cfoutput query="getMessage">
<cfset msg = replaceNoCase(message, '" & FirstName & "', firstNameString)>
#paragraphFormat(msg)#
</cfoutput>
</td></tr>
</table>
Having said that, there are still 2 things I fail to understand. Firstly, why loop across the query when there is just one row? Secondly, why do you save a static message in the database when you could just save it in the CFML code as a string variable?

Using a variable in a view?

I know that it may not be possible to use a variable within a view, but I'm wondering if there isn't a work-around? If there is a single value---pulled from another table---you wish to reuse in a view that does not use dynamic SQL, how do you do so? I've been toying around with WITH statements, but that's getting me nowhere. I'm using 11r2.
BTW, please do not ask me the standard litany of angry-dba questions (why are you doing this? your database is f*****, RTFM, etc.), this is just for my own curiosity. :)
Thank you
Example for demo purposes only (I know it's not syntactically correct):
variable var_value varchar2(30)
begin
select this_is_just_one_value
int :var_value
from tableX where column1 = 'BOB';
end;
select
numerous_columns
from tableY
where
column5 = :var_value;

SQL is not a procedural language - so you cannot create a view for example that has a parameter signature. E.g. this is possible in a procedural language:
declare
        cursor c( deptID number ) is
                select * from emp where deptno = deptID;
begin
        open c( 1234 ); --// open SQL cursor using a parameter/variable
        --// etc..
        close c;
end;This is not possible using a SQL object like a view. As a view is not a procedure. So the same approach as the above using SQL (silly example, but do demonstrates the basics):
// define
create or replace view emp_view as select * from emp;
// use
select * from emp_view where deptno = 1234;The CBO is clever - and it will likely push such a predicate into the emp_view SQL statement.
To parameterise such a view, is ugly. And should only be considered when dealing with issues such as security and data restrictions. A context is created - this can contain a number of name-values. The view can then use a name-value from the context. Oracle's data dictionary views use this approach.

Question about using constant variables in Forms

As I am still very new to Forms, please forgive my ignorance if the answer to my question is very simple. I am trying to figure out how to use constant variables within my Forms application. For example, if I want to setup return code constants for the application (mind me, these are examples):
RC_SUCCESS CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 1;
RC_FAILURE CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 0;
RC_YEAR_DATA_NOT_FOUND := 50;
Then in a module I created, if I wanted to check the return code against one of the constants I would do:
DECLARE
rc PLS_INTEGER;
BEGIN
GET_YEAR_DATA('2000', rc);
IF rc = RC_YEAR_DATA_NOT_FOUND THEN
-- Do some error handling
END IF;
END;
I know that you can declare constants within individual procedures or packages but I can't see to find information on how to do this globally for the application. I've read about using global variables within Forms but the CHAR data type only and the fact the value can be changed doesn't really fit for this purpose. Am I missing something? Is there a config file or something for the webserver that can be used to set these up??
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

To declare constants create a Package-Specification in a pll and deifne all your constants there, something like:
PACKAGE PK_CONSTANTS IS
RC_SUCCESS CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 1;
RC_FAILURE CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 0;
RC_YEAR_DATA_NOT_FOUND := 50;
END;Then attach that pll to all your forms-modules, and use it like
IF rc = PK_CONSTANTS.RC_YEAR_DATA_NOT_FOUND THEN
END IF;A word about exceptions or errors: In my eyes its clearer (and in case of exceptions even better) to raise an exception than to hide it behind return-codes.

SEM CPM variable

We have a cockpit defined in SEM which displays KPIs by calendar day. There is a CPM variable displayed when entering the cockpit which accepts the day, it is a drop down box. Walls, views and frames are then displayed based in queries in BW. The dates in the dropdown reflect the posted values from the BW cubes. One of the KPIs is obtained from a multiprovider (MP) in BW. When the query from the MP is used in a frame an excessive amount of dates are displayed in the dropdown. The dates displayed are not in any cubes. This also causes the cockpit to respond extremely slow. When the MP query is not connected to the cockpit performance is acceptable and the date selection reflects the cube contents.
We would also like to default the date selection to yesterday's date, but that is another issue.

Hello Walter,
I too am seeking to do something similar. Any luck doing it? If yes, could you please share the process.
Thanks

SEM-CPM-MC: Creating CPM variables

Hi,
I know this is probably not the right place to post it, but I couldnt find a better place.
I trying to create a variable in SEM-CPM-MC, but no matter what I do, I'm only able to create a runtime variable with selection type P - Variable for single value. I can select the other values, but when I save the variable SAP automatically corrects it to Singe value again. I can also create a design variable with the other types, but not a runtime variable. How do I create a variable for which you can enter an interval?
In the documentation it also says, that you should be able to create variables on a frame level. I don't see any button where I can create a variable on a frame level. I've done exactly as it says on help.sap.com, but I don't have a button to create a new variable on a frame level. How do I do that?
Any help is appreciated and will be rewarded generously :o)
Thanks,
-J

hi Yaj,
yes, there are business content, sap measure catalog, measures, strategy tempates, bw infocubes, etc.
you can activate single or mass, go to sap measure catalog, e.g you can activate node 'financial measures' for mass activation or specific measure only under that catalog.
to activate infocubes etc, you can use rsa1(administrator workbench)->business content, detail steps see sap help
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw33/helpdata/en/80/1a66d5e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
CPM business content, see

How to Set and Use a global variable within a session?

Dear All,
I'm new to jsp, and would like to ask how to set and use a global variable within a session?
Thanks in advance.

With session.setAttribute("name",object) you can store a Attribute in the session object.
with session.getAttribute("name") you can get it.
That's it.

Using variables within GETurl

Having issues with getting a simple script working...
I've created a 'flashvars' tag in my embed code (aid=test), which I simply wish to add to the end a GetUrl statement, contained in within a button (which is on the first level of the flash movie). This is the code I've added to the button...
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.platinumselect.com?id="+aid);
But this doesnt seem to work!? Is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks in advance! (p.s. using actionscript 2.0)

Where are the 3 places?? I've got it in two at the minute.

Subject: Using variables within GETurl
in as2, there is no LoaderInfo class and you don't need to do anything in flash to parse the flashvars.
but, as i mentioned in a duplicate post, you do need to define your flashvars in 3 places in your embedding html file. failure to do that is the most common reason for a problem with flashvars.

Using variables within the definition of ExcelWorkbook in the Data Services 4.2

Hi Together
We have installed the Datas Services 4.2 with a matching SAP BO 4.1 Installation
The Repositories are hosted on a MS SQL Server 2012R2.
The System is a Windows 2012 R2 Server
Within a Repository I try to define an ExcelWorkbook.
Within this Definition I need a
Format name,
the Directory where the Excelfile is in the File System,
the name from the ExcelFile.
To define the Access method I will use the Namend Range.
Is it possible to use for the Namend Range a defined variable with a namend Range.
I’ve tried a lot notations, but I am not able to use that Variable.
What is a possible Solution ?
Regards
Ralph

Hello Friend,
You indicate to go to the Central Management Console (http://server/BOE/CMC), click the Data Services option.
Select the Configure a new Data Services Repository, complete all fields and click Test Connection. If everything is ok and return success message, click save.
The repository created will appear in your repositories list, then right click it and select the User Security option. Make sure that the Data Services Administrator Users group is present and with Full Control access. To ensure that your user has access, you can also add it through the Add Principals option. Select the desired user, pass to the other side and click the Add option and Assign Security and include Full Control permission and apply.
In version 4.2 the ability to create access groups within the Central Repository was added.
To create and manage such groups need access SAP Data Services Management Console:
http://server/DataServices/launch/launch.do
Once you have successfully logged on, click the Administrator button.
On the left side there are some options, espanda the Central Repositories option and if you have properly created the Central Repository it will appear in the list.
Click User and Groups note that by default comes a set created (digroup), select the User tab and click the option later add.
Then enter the information which user, group, status and description and apply the changes.
Made these procedures you can enable your central repository through the DS Designer and create new groups.
Hope this helps.

SEM-CPM : CPM Variable

I am interested in presenting a CPM variable visually (I am using CPM-web, or UMM_PRES_WEB). The variable is currently used to drive the restriction of the underlying queries, however, I am interested in using this same CPM variable to provide a visual cue of what data is being shown. So - for example- I would like to present text somewhere in the logical view and perspective view that would identify which values the CPM is set to. I have not been able to find a way to use the CPM variable for anything other than restriction.
Can anyone help me with how to use the CPM variable as dynamic text as I have described? It seems visually challenging to understand what is being related if these values cannot be presented.

How to read a variable within a VC code. I am using BADI based VC code.

How to read a variable within a VC code. I am using BADI based VC code.
Lets say I have a variable for a fiscal period that holds cumulative month.
If user enters 03/2014 in that variable, it will have month starting from Jan till March.
Within VC code I would like to read the last month which is
03/2014 and based on this month I would like to do some calculation on all the records using the last month.
Since VC code runs for one record at a time and there is no way I can store this value.
Is there a way to go about it....any suggestions would be of great help.
Thanks.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Using Variable within Filter expression will not parse.

IN ODI 11.1.1.3.0, I defined a Variable (SelectionDate) of type "Alphanumeric", Default Value = 01-JAN-1970 with the select query: select to_char( SYSDATE , 'DD-MON-YYYY') from dual.
I intend to use this variable as a scenario variable (parameter) that receives a value in the form of 'DD-MON-YYYY', from the execution environment.
I refreshed the variable and it received the value 16-JUN-2011 (today's date). So far so good.
I then defined an Interface and used the variable in a filter expression:
Active Filter: Checked
Implementation Tab:
SOURCE_VIEW.SELECTION_DATE BETWEEN TO_DATE('#PROJECT1.SelectionDate', 'DD-MON-YYYY') AND (TO_DATE('#PROJECT1.SelectionDate', 'DD-MON-YYYY') + 1)
Execute on :Source
When verifying the expression (click on the checkmark in the implementation tab) I always get: Expression is not valid for this DBMS. java.sql.SQLDataException: ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected.
I cannot get the filter to parse. Thank you for your ideas of what might be wrong.
Jose.

Yes, it worked when placed in the package.
I think the expression editor is sending the string as it is written to the database in order to parse it, without replaceing the #variable for the actual value. Anyway thanks.

Using a global variable within a function

Hi all,
I'm trying to learn how to use global variables, but can't quite get it right:
Im trying to use two buttons, named UpButton and DownButton to control one global variable, p1
A text field, named "Value" displays p1.
Here's my code:
p1 = 0;
ButtonClick("UpButton", p1, 100,"Value");
ButtonClick("DownButton", p1,(-100),"Value");
function ButtonClick(ButtonName,Var,Increment,TextToChange){
                    sym.$(ButtonName).click(function(){
                    Var = Var + Increment;
                    sym.$(TextToChange).html(Var);
However, it seems to be treating p1 as two different variables.
Here's a link to the page to show you what I mean, apologies but this link wont work in google chrome because I'm using dropbox as a server temporarily
In other browsers you may need to click "Show all content" or similar to any security warnings...
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/83693404/ButtonTest/buttons.html
Here are the project files:

Any help greatly appreciated, sorry if this is a stupid question,
Katherine

Hi Katherine,
However, it seems to be treating p1 as two different variables.
Indeed, your code created two different variables in two different scopes (I guess it as to do with JavaScript closures, but do not ask me more, I am still a bit foggy about that idiosyncrasy ).
In JavaScript, a primitive parameter – this is the case here with p1, a Number value –, is passed by value. In other words, a copy of the value is made. Your code handles two copies of the value stored in p1.
This contrasts with an object parameter, which is passed by reference (address in memory), without copy. Your code would work if Numbers were passed by reference : the two Var (p1) would then point to the same address.
The intent behind your trial is a global variable.
1) Let us be as simple as possible :
Stage : document.compositionReady event handler
p1 = 0;
buttonClick = function( Increment)
p1 += Increment;
sym.$( "Value").html( p1);
Stage : DownButton.click event handler
buttonClick(-100);
Stage : UpButton.click event handler
buttonClick(100);
Without being preceded by the var keyword the variables are global.
So the Number variable p1 can be accessed inside function buttonClick.
And the Function variable buttonClick as well, is accessible inside click event handlers, everything (function definition +function calls) being inside the same symbol (Stage).
2) Now, suppose this is no longer the case : you want to access a variable from another symbol.
We create a new GraySquare symbol, instantiated both in the DownButton symbol (instance name DownSquare) and in the UpButton symbol (instance name DownSquare).
Stage : document.compositionReady event handler
p1 = 0;
sym.buttonClick = function( Increment)
p1 += Increment;
sym.$( "Value").html( p1);
The sym. prefix is now necessary to make the variable (here a Function, but you would proceed exactly the same with a String, Number or Boolean) accessible in other symbols.
DownButton symbol : DownSquare.click event handler
sym.getComposition().getStage().buttonClick( -100);
UpButton symbol : UpSquare.click event handler
sym.getComposition().getStage().buttonClick( 100);
From these other symbols, the sym.getComposition().getStage(). prefix is necessary to acces to our global variable (function).
The two examples are downloadable here : https://app.box.com/s/6vkyiqk7i8zwlw0j1wk1
