Using dimension type u2018Subtableu2019 in BPC

Does anyone know about using dimension type u2018subtableu2019? Has anyone ever used it?
Thanks in advance
Nitin

The sort answer is - No - you need not use it if you don't want to.
In the application, the normal transactions would have some u2018catch allu2019 dimension member such as u2018noaccountu2019 assigned to them for this subtable dimension. You donu2019t have to use this subtable dimension since the same can be achieved by using other regular dimensions as well. However if you are not using the stored procedure, you can write SQL logic to accomplish the same. Alwyn Berkhout has given a good example of one such SQL code in an earlier thread in this forum. It is as follows:
*SELECT(%OPENINGACCOUNTS%,"ID",ACCOUNT,OPENINGACCOUNT_PROPERTY'')
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME = 2006.DEC
*XDIM_MEMBERSET SUBTABLES = F_CLO
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT = %OPENINGACCOUNTS%
*WHEN SUBTABLES
*IS "F_CLO"
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS %OPENINGACCOUNTS%
*REC(FACTOR=1,TIME="2006.JAN",SUBTABLES="F_OPE"
*ENDWHEN
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT

Currency and Groups Dimensions in Legal Consolidation, BPC 7.5

Dear BPC Experts:
          I am using BPC 7.5 NW SP03, and building Legal Consolidation now. According to the SAP Library,http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/bpc_nw_index.htm, it says in 7.5, the currency and groups dimension are required and should hold currency members and consolidation members seperately. I have couple of questions about this design.
1. Are GROUPS and CURRENCY dimensions both included in Legal Consolidation Application at the same time?
2. How to move data in currency diemnsion into corresponding members in GROUPS dimension?
    For example: THe GROUPS member, CG1(its currency is USD). How to let data in currency USD move to CG1.
3. In Legal Consolidation data package, should I modify the prompt dimension from CURRENCY_DIM into GROUP_Dim?? cause 7.5 has CURRENCY dim in its package setting at default. However, the consolidation package is based on GROUP perspectives.
    Does anyone give me any idea in it? I really appreciate your help.
Best Regards,
Fred Cheng

Hi Collet,
Thanks for such a quick response. Based on your answer,
The group-type dimension is used for storing the group component of legal consolidation. The group-type dimension represents the relationship of entities for a given consolidation result. This group is consolidated in a single currency, so there is no need to have another dimension. As of Planning and Consolidation 7.5, you can continue to use the currency-type dimension for this purpose, or you can split it into a group-type dimension (type G) and use a pure currency-type dimension (type R) to allow reporting in multiple group currencies.
If at all I go by that will that be sufficient to have only Group Dimension and ignore RptCurrency field in BPC 7.5?
As of now I am having my Group Dimension looks like this.
Member ID          EVDESCRIPTION        GROUP_CURRENCY        PARENT_GROUP      ENTITY
G_CG1                XXXX                          USD                                                                 E_CG1
G_CG2                XXX                            USD                                   G_CG1                   E_CG2
G_CG3                XXXX                          USD                                   G_CG2                   E_CG3
So now do I need to enter any RptCurrency Members under Group Member ID column to have RptCurrency ignored once for all. By the way our RptCurrency and Group Currency is USD only.
Please advise as right now we are not able to have Currency Conversion Functioning properly. I mean when I executed FXTRANSLGF, I am able to my DM status as Successful but saying 0 Submitted   0 Success   0 Fail
I am unable to crack this. I tired playing Groups and RptCurrency but same result. Successful but no records. We have maintained all Exchange Rates corrctly.

Execution of a planning function with the used dimension values in a crosstab

Hello,
would like to execute planning functions within Design Studio but I don't really know how I combine this execution with the used dimension values in a crosstab for the .
Here the requirement:
3 Planning functions which should use the same filter (all values of all dimensions in the crosstab) and which should run one after another:
// open data slice
PF_1.execute();
// generate combinitions
PF_2.execute();
// close data slice
PF_3.execute();
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Tobias

Hi Arun,
in general it is not possible to nest planning functions. The inner function would update the data in the plan buffer without the outer function knowing about it. Also the inner function might be on a different aggregation level which would make things very tricky.
Alternatively you can include ABAP logic into a FOX formula:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/47/94eb78b6394befe10000000a42189d/frameset.htm
Or just create the complete logic in one ABAP planning function type.

Using Dimension Formulas to sum data based on different criteria

Hi all,
I am trying to use a u201CDimension Formulau201D to perform the following calculation:
We have an account dimension which has 2 important properties:
1.     CRITERIUMTYPE: This property can have 3 different values: u201CWERKu201D, u201CINVu201D OR u201CLIQu201D
2.     ACCTYPE: This property can have 2 different values: u201CEXPu201D or u201CINCu201D
The client wants to have a report that sums data based on these 2 properties. An example will help to clarify this:
ACCOUNTS     CRITERIUMTYPE     ACCTYPE     VALUE
ACCOUNT A         WERK                          EXP               100 u20AC
ACCOUNT B         WERK                          INC               150 u20AC
ACCOUNT C         WERK                          EXP               200 u20AC
ACCOUNT D         WERK                          INC               300 u20AC
ACCOUNT E         INV                          EXP               50 u20AC
ACCOUNT F         INV                          INC               100 u20AC
ACCOUNT G         INV                          EXP               200 u20AC
ACCOUNT H         INV                          INC               500 u20AC
The clients wishes to see this data in the following way:
CRITERIUMTYPE     ACCTYPE     VALUE
   WERK                         EXP              300 u20AC
                                    INC              450 u20AC
   INV                         EXP              250 u20AC
                                 INC              600 u20AC
In order to achieve this I have created several new accounts, one for each combination e.g.: Account WERKEXP is used to sum the data on the combination CRITERIUMTYPE=WERK and ACCTYPE=EXP. I have created a dimension formula in my account dimension but this is where I am stuck. I have created the following formula to calculate the account WERKEXP:
IIF([BUDGETPOSITIE].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ACCTYPE")="EXP",IIF([BUDGETPOSITIE].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("CRITERIUMTYPE")="WERK",[BUDGETPOSITIE].CURRENTMEMBER,0),0)
The problem with this formula is the following:
The formula will add all amounts that meet the 2 criteria mentioned in the formula, EXP and WERK, but as soon as it finds an accounts that does not match the 2 criteria it will set the account WERKEXP back to 0. I need to know if there is a way, using dimension formulas, of adding these values together without the new account being set to 0 as soon as one of the accounts it needs to check does not meet 1 of the 2 criteria.
We are working on SAP BPC 7.5 for NW with SP04
All help is very much appreciated!
Kind regards,
Stefano

Hi,
You can also use ParentHn property to have different grouping of accounts within the dimension.
So in your case rather using the member formula you can have four accounts and add them in the Parenthn property for grouping it.
1. The Solution proposed by Nilanjan is specific for a Report/IS and Performance will be good
2. My solution will be global something similar to MDX formula, but performance may be slightly lesser than using excel function.
Hope this helps,

How to Use Dimension Operator

Hi
I'm trying to implement SCD Type 2. I have done so using conventional methods.
I have read in some blogs that dimension operator can be used for SCD. Can any one provide me material on how to use Dimension Operator. I tried OWB User guide. But its not useful.
I have seen that we need to create levels. But i dont need levels.
Can somebody please tell me how to use it.
Regards
Vibhuti

Hi Vibhuti,
using dimensions with OWB 10g R2 isn't that difficult. You just create a number of attributes like an ID, a business key and probably a description and then associate each of the attributes with a level. You need at least one level that all the attributes are associated to. Then you can use the slowly changing dimension wizard (SCD) to track changes. In the SCD settings you can determin for which attribute you want to trigger history and which attributes contain your effective date and your end date (if you want to use SCD type II). Obviously you would need two additional attributes in every level for that purpose.

Jörg

Financial Analytics How to determine dimension types

How can we determine what ypes of dimensions are built by Oracle as part of OBIA? I am interested in understanding the dimension types (Type I, Type II and which one is slowly changing dimension and what columns are used for dates to maintain history in these dimension tables) for all out of box supplied dimensions.
Any pointers on this is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Kris
Edited by: user566193 on May 14, 2011 10:59 PM

Easiest way to check what are enables as SCD Type 2 are those that have a "SCDUpdate" mapping associates with them. To check exactly which fields are enabled for Type 2 Changes..you will have to dig into the SIL Mappings. Here is an excerpt from the BI Apps guide that explains this:
The logic that tracks Category 2 changes is contained in exposed objects in each SIL dimension mapping that supports Category 2 changes.
There is a lookup between the Source Qualifier and the Filter. This lookup is used to determine if the record already exists in the target and, therefore, needs to be updated in addition to other system columns. Columns that track Category 2 changes are returned in this lookup and passed to the next expression. The columns returned by the lookup are compared with the columns passed from the staging table. If any of these columns are different, the record is flagged for a Category 2 change.
This expression contains a variable port named 'TYPE2_COLS_DIFF'. If this port is flagged as 'Y' then a Category 2 change will be triggered. If it is flagged as 'N' then a Category 1 change will be triggered.
To change the columns used to determine a Category 2 change, modify the lookup to pass any additional columns you want to be evaluated for Category 2 changes. Then, modify the variable port 'TYPE2_COLS_DIFF' to include this column when being evaluated.
hope this helps...

Web Applet using URL type not appearing as desired

Have created a web applet using URL type (for google maps). Although it works fine, the appearance is not acceptable. It is very elongated and appears to be in an unacceptable size/dimension for users.
Does anybody know a way to configure the size? Any suggestions ??
Thanks.

Hi,
here it goes
well skipping my sleep did find me some solution for your query :) see if it help
use the below code inside the applet for TYPE as HTML under Web Applet HTML.
You can find details about the below script from Google Maps API Section.
Currently I have only configured Ship to country field but you can add the more field accordingly.
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key=abcdefg&sensor=true_or_false" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var shipTo='%%%Ship_To_COUNTRY_Country%%%';
var geocoder = null;

document.onreadystatechange=function() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(37.4419, -122.1419), 13);
     if(shipTo!=''){
          geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();
          showAddress(shipTo);
map.setUIToDefault();
function showAddress(address) {

Help: Connecting Tomcat to CA-IDMS Using JDBC Type 4 Drivers (JNDI)

Hi there,
I have a rather interesting / complex problem......creating a connection to CA-IDMS from Tomcat using JDBC type 4 drivers (CA provide the type 4 driver).
We have a zSeries 9 IBM mainframe running CA-IDMS r16.1, and I need to connect to the IDMS from Tomcat (running on Linux) using the JDBC Type 4 drivers provided by CA.
At this stage I am struggling with the actual setup and configuration of Tomcats server.xml and web.xml files. These are the files where the JDBC configuration is set (I think). I have to setup the CA-IDMS part of the configuration, but that is a different problem. Basically there is a TCP/IP listener on the IDMS, waiting for incoming connections from the JDBC type 4 driver.
I set up a Tomcat to MySQL connection using MySQL Connector / J, which is a similar kind of process to what I am trying to achieve with IDMS. MySQL connector / J came with a jar file which is placed in Tomcats lib folder, and then the JDBC setup for the web application is created in Tomcat's server.xml and web.xml files. You can then connect to the MySQL database using JSP and the configured JDBC driver / connection. The CA-IDMS Server comes with an idmsjdbc.jar file, which I think is the JDBC typr 4 driver. I think it needs to be placed in the Tomcat /lib folder, but I dont know how to set up the configuration.
There is a JDBC DriverManager which allows JDBC drivers to connect to CA-IDMS. The DriverManager recognises the following syntax:
jdbc:idms://hostname:port/database
This allows the JDBC driver running within Tomcat to connect to the IDMS which is running on the IDM mainframe. CA IDMS r16 supports direct connections from the Type 4 JDBC driver to the Central Version on IDMS. "hostname" is the DNS name or IP address of the machine where the CV is running, and "port" is the IP port that was specified for the listener PTERM (setup on the IDMS side).
There is a caidms.properties file for the JDBC driver, which is used to specify user ID, password, and optional accounting information. It can also be used to specify physical connection information, allowing an application to connect to a CA-IDMS database without requiring the definition of an ODBC style data source. However, I dont know where to place this file within the Tomcat setup.
There is also an IdmsDataSource class. I dont know where to configure this or how to set it up; the CA-IDMS Server manual states the following:
This class implements the JDBC DataSource interface. It is used with an application server (Tomcat) providing Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) naming service to establish a connection to a CA IDMS database. IdmsDataSource properties conform to the Java Beans naming conventions and are implicitly defined by public setter and getter methods. For example, the description property, which is required for all DataSource implementations, is set using the setDescription(String) method. The application server may use the java.lang.reflection methods to discover DataSource properties and provide an interface to set them, or may simply require that they are defined in some configuration file. IdmsDataSource properties are used to specify the connection parameters. These properties are the equivalent of the DriverPropertyInfo attributes described in the previous section and can be used to completely define the parameters needed to connect to a database. Like a URL, an IdmsDataSource object can also reference an ODBC style data source name, where the connection parameters are defined in the configuration file on Linux.
Is there anyone that can try to point me in the right direction to setting up the JDBC connection? I am totally new to Java and so the instructions are not making much sense at the moment. Any help, hints, tips..anything will be greatly appreciated as I have just hit a brick wall here. I can't find much to do with setting up the CA-IDMS Server JDBC type 4 driver online either....if anyone can point me to some resources that would also be extremely useful.
Kind regards
Jp

You say you've managed to get the JDBC driver working
in an application but not in a JSP. You also say that
the error you get is
"com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver".
I'd be willing to bet that the exception that you have
got is a ClassNotFoundException. I.E. your application
server hasn't found the JDBC driver classes. The
application server probably doesn't use your current
CLASSPATH to look for classes. It will be setup within
the application server in some way and you'll need to
check your app server documentation to see how it is
done.
Try replacing
e.printStackTrace();with
e.printStackTrace(out);to get a full stack trace of your error.
ColTried it. Got this error when I tried to run the JSP.
Incompatible type for method. Can't convert javax.servlet.jsp.JspWriter to java.io.PrintWriter.
e.printStackTrace(out);
I'm currently using Apache Tomcat 4.0.3 as my JSP/Servlet Container.
I'm also using Type 4 MS SQL Server 2000 JDBC driver version 2.0 on my NT4.0 Server.
Do I need to set my JDBC driver in my container? if so, how do I do that?

How to use two types of fonts in a richtextdocument

hello,
i want to print a barcode and some text into a richtextdocument
example:
this.richTextBox1.AppendText("\n");
Font f1 = new Font("3 of 9 Barcode", 50);
this.richTextBox1.Font = f1;
this.richTextBox1.AppendText("*1234554*");
Font f2 = new Font("Arial", 20);
this.richTextBox1.Font = f2;
this.richTextBox1.AppendText("fooo");
but it always uses the second one?
how can i resolve this?
i want to use two types of fonts in the same rich text document.
thank you very much!!

Select some text and then set the SelectionFont property for each selection, e.g.:
this.richTextBox1.AppendText("\n");
this.richTextBox1.AppendText("*1234554*");
richTextBox1.SelectionStart = 1;
richTextBox1.SelectionLength = 9; //End of first word
richTextBox1.SelectionFont = new System.Drawing.Font("Tahoma", 10);
this.richTextBox1.AppendText("fooo");
richTextBox1.SelectionStart = 10;
richTextBox1.SelectionLength = 4;
richTextBox1.SelectionFont = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 20);

Error while creating an outbound idoc using idoc type delvry02

hi,
i getting the following error while creating an outbound idoc(outbound shipping notification) using message type " DESADV" and IDOC TYPE " DELVRY02"
ERROR:
" SPECIFY EITHER ADDRESS NO OR ADDRESS HANDLE"
MESSAGE NO: AM053
Help would be appreciated.
regards
leo

The message is kind of self-explanatory. It seems that some address (delivery address ?) is required but is missing from the IDoc. If it's a syntax error, then the segment with error will appear in red in WE05 transaction.
It is also possible that you have filled some field that you should have left blank and now SAP is trying to find an address based on that field.
Check your IDoc contents. It's really hard to tell from the distance since the requirements and configuration could be very different in different systems. Sometimes the OSS note search by message ID and number is also helpful.

Error in WEBI report and MDXTEST when using Dimensions in Prompt

Hi,
I am using BOXIR3.1 SP2, SAPBI 7.0
I m creating a webI report (Universe is on SAP BI Query.) which include following objcets in Query section of WebI pannel:
Business partner, Account Class, Total Arreas count.
The Condition pane of Webi Includes Prompt on object "Account Class".
When I run a report, I get List of values for Dimension Account Class, when I select one of available value eg: Commercial Customer,I get Following Error.
A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query SELECT { [Measures].[4EITIDWAFWLLZD2ONIAVCKD56] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( [Z_BPATNER].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS, { [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[Commercial Customers] } ) ON ROWS FROM [ZFC_M07/Z_FC_M07_Q002] failed to execute with the error Value Commercial Customers for characteristic Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS unknown. (WIS 10901)
I tried running same query in MDXTEST editor of BI. I got same error!!!
Then I tried changing the MDX Query as:
SELECT { [Measures].[4EITIDWAFWLLZD2ONIAVCKD56] }
ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( [Z_BPATNER].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS, { [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM] } ) ON ROWS
FROM [ZFC_M07/Z_FC_M07_Q002]
Then it worked Fine!!! If you observe the change is in the value of Prompt Account Class [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM]
By default Dimension object in Universe shows text value, but when I changed the MDXQuery with Key value (This is one of the value of value is for [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[Level01] object in mDX test Editor.) It works fine.
I wonder How do i solve this problem!! List of values available in dimension cannot be changed at universe level.
Please let me know if any solution for this exists.
regads,
Nisha.

Hi Ingo,
I am creating the prompt on the dimension "Account Class" at WebI level.
The Technical name of this object is: [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[LEVEL01]
Also,
I confirmed that Index Awareness is applied on this dimension as [Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[LEVEL01].[TECH_NAME].
This Dimension has detail object called "Account Class (Key) "and "Account Class (Medium name)".
MDXtest editor in SAP, shows me text as well as [ Level01] values:
Eg: Account Class InfoObject has values "Commercial Customer " (This is text value)and "[Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM]".
COM Refers to Commercial Customer .
So In WebI when I use Dimension "Account Class" as prompt, I get Text value of this InfoObject which is "Commercial Customer ".
and MDXQuery Fails. But when I modify this query in mDXTEST Editor with value as "[Z_FCACTBP__0UCACC_CLAS].[COM]", It work fine.
I donu2019t understand the reason, since this problem is with almost 90% of Dimension object.
When I delete this object from universe, and refresh the universe then webI works fine.
But, if for some reason I refresh the universe again, the Dimension object as a prompt doesnu2019t work!!!
This error occurs every time I refresh the universe.
We are in UAT phase and soon to go Live!! We cannot afford to delete the object every time I refresh the universe.
Please let me know your inputs.
regards,
Nisha.

Error while doing usage decison using moment type 321

Hi,
I have created a batch by confirming process order
(t code COR6). But when I do usage decision for this batch using transaction QA11, material stock from batch created by order gets transferred to new batch.
When I checked material document, there is complimentory movement for batch created with process order.
For ex.
I have created batch 000400 by confirmation of process order.
Batch stock is in quality stock. Now I want to move this stock to unrestricted, for this I did usage decision using transaction code QA11. After usage decision when I checked material documents then I found that there is only one movement for 321 movement for batch 000400 i.e. for debit no credit (that means there is no complimentary moment) & credit movement exists for new batch 000401 which is created by sytem itself.
My requirement is that system should not create new batch for material posting while using moment type 321, it shoud post material stock to same batch after usage decision.
It is urgent issue.

In the SAP IMG configuration,
Material Management ->Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -->Movement types --> Copy and Change Movement type(OMJJ)
In the field screen, select movement type and then "321" and getinto the definition.
Please verify the field "Create new batch" is empty.
Other reason could be user-exit or custom code which during material movement does the new batch creation.
Thanks,
Srinivas Karri

Delivery Output determiantion using Delivery type & Item category

Dear all,
I am facing a problem while triggering output using Delivery type/Item Category access in access sequence xyz. I have maintained the condition record for this access and did all the necessary customization settings.
When i maintain the condition record for other access in Access sequence xyz the out put is being triggered.
After some analysis i found that the Delivery type/Item category is using different communication structures.
ie. Delivery type is using KOMKBV2-LFART. where as Item Category is using KOMPBV2-PSTYV. The output is a header output.
can any one explain the problem here in maintaining different comm structures for an access for generating header output.
Thanks in advance for your inputs.
Best Regards
Satish

Hi,
You mean to say its not triggering the output automatically.....
If that is the case then goto the condition type in IMG and in tab "default values" make the dispatch time as "send immediately when saving the application" this will automatically triggers the output based on the condition records.....
