Variable for navigational attribute affected fiscper input variable

Dear Friends
Initially, the query is having an input variable for fiscper. The query was able to run properly.
When i add a input variable for a navigational attribute to the same query which is based on multiprovider, the fiscper input variable is no longer seen.
So, I removed the global filter for the navigational attribute and it is ok again. I fixed a value for the navigational attribute at filter level is also fine.
Please advise what could be the cause. Thank you so much.
Best regards
Bass

Hi Bass,
Again seems to be a strange issue, if you have two independent characteristic with two different input enabled variables then there is no reason for the variable to not to show up on selection screen.
Once you add the new variable and save the query just make sure that you have earlier variable as it is and check the query properties popup and see the fiscper variable sequence in the variable list.

Creating variable for display attribute

Hi
I have a requirement where i have to give selection criteria for a display attribute. But how to create a variable for display attribute. Please help.
Thanks
Imran.

If you are in BI 7.0 version. You have to put the navigational attribute in either characteristic restriction (Filter) or default values section and then you will get the restriction option. Once restricted you can put
that char in where ever you want.

Variable on navigation attribute

Hi Friends,
Is it possible to create variable on navigation attribute?if possible we will face any kind of issues?give me u r ideas related to this
Thanks in advance,
kumar

You can create variable on a characteristic info object that is present in the cube and not on nav attribute.
Also, nav attributes are a performance dampener. If you can, try to put the characterstic in a dimension of the cube.

Formula variable with replacement path to another input variable

Hi @ all,
i have a question regarding "Formula variable with replacement path to another input variable".
My Problem is that in selection screen and for info-fields the input variable is shown with its key and not with its description.
Scenario:
A formula variable (X) is used to get an input value of a characteristic variable (Y) for 0Fiscper3 to realize a IF-Then scenario.
The formula variable (X) uses replacement path by variable (Y) replace by "key".
In selection screen of the query variable (Y) is named with its key "ZAB_BUPE01" and not with its description " fiscal period". Same as for info-fields where the description is "ZAB_BUPE01" and not " fiscal period".
Does anybody have a solution to display the selection variable correctly?
Regards
Tobias

Issue Solved!
The input varaible (y) for 0Fiscper3 was saved globally on the InfoProvider. This results in that the formula variable with replacement path only shows its technical name. I put the input variable in the query itself and it soved the problem. The variable is displayed with its description in selection screen.

Multi-Provider Provider-Specific Properties for Navigational Attributes

Experts,
I need to over-ride the naming for a navigational attribute in a multi-provider.
For non-navigational attributes you simply use the Provider-Specific Properties. This selection is not available for navigational attributes.
Is there a different way to apply alternative naming to navigational attributes in a Mult-Provider without affecting the global definition in the base cube.
Thanks in advance

No - the users want their own verions of the name as default
Thanks for the reply

Data for navigational attributes # Not Assigned

Hello friends,
Our report is based on Multiprovider which is based on 5 cubes.
These five cubes has one particular Characteristics which hasnavigational Attribute .
We are using the navigational attribute directly under free characteristics Tab in Query.
We are also using Characteristic in Query - for characateristic data is shown in report.
In report we are able to see data as # Not Assigned for navigational attributes.
When we checked data at info object level for that characateristic, correct data is shown for that navigation attributes.
We have checked following settings
At characteristic level - Uncheck Attributes only
At cube level all navigational attributes are checked
In Multi provider identification table - This navigational attribute is checked for all five cubes
In Multi provider Navigational Attributes Tab - This naviagtional attributes is checked
Activation of Master data was done once again
we are not getting any other ideas, can any one please suggest us where the problem is?
Thanks
Tony.

Hi Tony
I have the exact same problem. Did you find out what the problem was?
KR Nete
Edited by: Nete Grøn Jacobsen on Jul 14, 2008 1:51 PM
I solved my problem
1. Activate the navigation attribute(s) on the underlying basiscube, from which the query displays data
2. Choose the navigation attribute(s) for all relevant basiscubes (multicube -> Change -> Button Identification)

Variable for an Attribute

Dear friends,
How to create the variables for Attributes?.
For ex. 0Division is an attribute for 0Material.My requirement is to get the 0Divison in the selection screen.0Division infoobject not avilable in the cube.
Could you pls suggest with your inputs?
Thanks in advance..
Regards
Soujanya

Hi Soujanya,
One way is to make 0Division as navigational attribute for 0Material in transaction code RSD1.
Once it is marked as navigational attribute goto infocube chane ->Navigational attribute and you should able to find 0Division there check the checkbox. and activate the info cube.
Next time you login into Bex you should able to see the info object 0Division in the infoproviders tab.
Hope that helps.

User entry variable on navigational attribute

Hi,
Can I create a Manual Entry/Default Value variable on a navigational attribute?
Thanks,
P R.

Hi,
Thanks for your replies.
The attribute is in the master data carrying infoobject. We changed it from display to navigational after the query was created so that we can create variable. The query is based on ODS. In the query, I don't see the option of creating variable on the navigational attribute. Is there any other step to be done?
Thanks.

Variable on Navigational Attributes in ODS

BW Experts,
I have a Navigational Attribute in my ODS. In my query design, I do not get an option to build a variable for selection on this Navigational attribute. Is it a fact with ODS that Variable cannot be built on Nav Attributes?
Thanks
Ashwin

hi Ashwin,
we have to logout and login again bex analyzer to reflect any changes on infoprovider, i guess you were opening bex and turn on ods navigation attribute and couldn't find it in bex query, then you logoff and login again and see the navigation attribute, you can have a try
hope this helps.

Authorization for navigational attribute

Hi Gurus,
I am facing an authorization issue with respect to infoobject hierarchy. I have created authorizations as below.
There one infoobject 'A' and a navigational attribute 'B' in infoobject 'A'. This navigational atribure A_B is used in an infocube. And hierarchy is uploaded to Infoobject 'B'. Now I want to give authorization for this hierarchy in infoobject 'B'.
Now coming to authorization.
1. I have made Infoobject 'B' as authorization relevant in Business explorer tab.
2. Created authorization object say ABC in RSSM and inculded infoobject 'B' & 0TCTAUTHH (since I want to authorize the hierarchy and we are using 3.5 authorization concepts in BI 7.0).
3. Activate this authorization object for the infocube.
4. Included this authorization object in the role included for my user. In the field 'B' of authorization object I have given ' ' (space) and in the field 0TCTAUTHH I have given the technical name of the hierarchy.
4. In 3.5 query designer I have put this navigational attribute A_B in the filter area and activated the hierarchy in the properties tab for the same hierarchy that I inculded in previous step.
5. Created a variable with processing type authorization.
Now when I run this report I get an error as no authorization for object ABC.
Can someone help me if I have done anything wrong.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi,
In the infoobject A maintenance screen check the chekc box for field "AuthorizRelevant" for B to make it authorization relevant navigational attribute.
Then go to RSECADMIN and ope your relevant authorization.
In the menu bar just above the "Authorization Structure" you will find the button with icon of infoobject.
Chick on this icon this will give you a screen to enter characteristic name of which attributes are to be added to authorization.
Enter the infoobject A name here and click on continue.
This will give you list of all authorization relevant navigational attributes present for A.
Add B from this list to the authorization.
Hope this helps.

Navigational Attribute Problem in Input Query

Hi,
I am having a problem in input query implementation which uses a navigational attribute. I have, for eg, only one char 'customer' in rows; i want to exclude the customers with the status D (deleted) from displaying (Status is nav. attr. of customer). I tried this by restricting in filter, Status D-"exclude". But as soon as I do this, query no longer remains input ready! (I also tried putting the same restriction in Default Values area rather than Filter, but ended with the same result )
I discovered that if, furthermore, I put Status in rows (with the above said restriction still remaining), query is again input ready.
Can't we exclude values in the filter on an input query? I want to know if this is a restriction with IP or a bug?

Hi Gregor,
Thanks for the explanation. But this makes me wonder, because due to this restriction one of the BIG advantages queries had over the planning layouts of BPS, seems to be gone. I mean, using navigational attributes for filtering; if we have to always have a single value restriction on a nav. attr., this will really be restricting. Is it expected that this will be changed in a later SP?
And there is another problem that is coming due to this. When I use the exclude filter and also the nav. attr. Status in rows, then the query becomes input ready, but there are warning messges displaying when the query opens saying -
Characteristic Customer has no master data for "C1"
Characteristic Customer has no master data for "C2"
etc... (these are the customers with status D). We are on SP15.
Please suggest what should I do to get rid of these messages?

Validation error message is not displayed for an attribute as an Input List Of Value

Hi everyone,
I use jdev 11.1.1.7.0
In my application I've created an Entity Obj and a View Obj base Employees table.
for the JobId attribute I've taken actions as listed below:
1. in Employees EO I've created a validation for this attribute and in some cases an error message returns (the error message is "the salary is not high"):
     * Validation method for JobId.
    public boolean validateJobId(String jobid) {
        if (...) {
            return false;
        if (...) {
            return false;
        if (...) {
            return false;
        return true;
2. in Employees VO I've created a LOV for this attribute (the view accessor is JobsViewObj ) and I display the attribute as an Input Text with List Of Values.
in jspx page I drag& drop this attribute as below:
          <af:inputListOfValues id="jobIdId"
                                popupTitle="Search and Select: #{bindings.JobId.hints.label}"
                                value="#{bindings.JobId.inputValue}"
                                label="#{bindings.JobId.hints.label}"
                                model="#{bindings.JobId.listOfValuesModel}"
                                required="#{bindings.JobId.hints.mandatory}"
                                columns="#{bindings.JobId.hints.displayWidth}"
                                shortDesc="#{bindings.JobId.hints.tooltip}"
                                autoSubmit="true">
            <f:validator binding="#{bindings.JobId.validator}"/>
          </af:inputListOfValues>
I open the Popup and I select a row from the Popup list and then I click Ok. After that if the validation method(validateJobId) returns false, the error message("the salary is not high") must be show to the user. but the error message doesn't display. I don't understand why this happens.
Can anybody guide me about this problem?
Regards
Habib

yes, you're right, I've tested it in 12.1.3 and error message was displayed.
it seems it's a bug(bad bug ) in both 11.1.1.7 and 12.1.2. and now what can I do? is there any way to display the the error message?

How to show data for navigational attribute in a report ?

Hello all,
I have a hierarchy info object A which has a navigational attribute(hierarchy) B. I need to filter on B for a particular node.
I have added A in the filter column and selected B as the attribute. How can i restrict B for a particular hierarchy node ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
S N

Hi,
Have you defined 'B' as Navigational attribute at InfoProvider Level?
You can Restrict B for a Particular Value once it is defined as Navigational attribute at InfoProvder level.
Go to InfoProvider maintaince>click 'nav attributes'>enable it (check the box).activate the InfoProvider.
Then you can see it under same dimension where 'A' is assigned and its name would be A_B.
Drag and drop in to rows and restrict(include/exclude) with required value.
thanks

# values for navigational attributes in report . (Urgent)

Hi Gurus,
I have a navigational attributes for time dependent master data. In the report I am not able to see values for that navigational attribute. I see # values for the navigational attributes. I checked the master data of main info-object. every thing looks fine.
please help me in regarding this.
thanks,
Regards,
Aarthi

Check the following two things again just to make sure you are doing everything right. These are already mentioned by Bhanu...
1) Go to the master data table (Q table or the M table) and check to see if there are M version records (OBJVERS = M). If yes, you need to activate the master data using the program RSDDS_AGGREGATES_MAINTAIN (Change Run). If there are no M version records then check the second step
2) If you do not enter any key date in the query, it takes the system date as the default key date. So check and see if any master data exists for today's date ?
Also just curious, which version and support pack level are you on ?

Create a timer to make a variable for pause length from user input

I have an external task that varies in time based on the machine I am using, yet once that value is determined, it will remain the same while on that machine. I need to have an Applescript perform a task based on that time variable. This a repeating loop script that will need user input for the first iteration of the loop. How can I get this time variable to use in the script? I would like it to be something like this.
--script clicks OK button in the app (this is already scripted)
--timer started
--script throws up a dialog instructing user to click OK when hardware specific task is completed (has a cancel option to cancel script as well)
--when dialog box OK is clicked a time value is determined between the timer started and the dialog OK click
--time value is now a variable to call for pause between loop cycles, requiring no more user input (except an overall script cancel if needed)
is this possible?
PowerBook G4 Titanium 500 Mhz Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Yeah, it's possible. There are probably a couple ways to do it. Here's a quick one that uses a unique hardware ID. Properties persist between runs, reboots, etc. but not compiles.
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">property delay_time : missing value
property last_mac : missing value
set test_mac to primary Ethernet address of (system info)
if test_mac is last_mac and delay_time is not missing value then
-- performclickhandler()
delay delay_time
else
set start_time to (current date)
-- performclickhandler()
display dialog "Click OK to set the timer..."
set delay_time to (current date) - start_time
set last_mac to test_mac
end if
-- rest of your script
</pre>
