Variable for one Dimension based on another Dimension's Property

Hi all,
This is a Acript Logic question.
I have a dimension called P_BUDGET_MODEL. It has a property called PROFIT_CTR.
I also have a dimension called P_PCA.
I would like to have a variable that defines the values of P_PCA based on the values of PROFIT_CTR once the user selected the P_BUDGET_MODEL.
Please note:
1. One value of PROFIT_CTR might yield fiew values of P_PCA based on a well defined logic that I can code in the script using some sort of Concatenation.
2. I want to use the variable in *XDIM_MEMBERSET P_PCA to improve performance.
3. I have authorizations defined both for P_PCA and P_BUDGET_MODEL.
4. I would like to use similar logic to define the time dimension based on the category dimension.
Any ideas?
Kind regards,
Avihay

Hello Nilanjan,
First of all thanks for your response.
I am not sure I understood. Allow me to elaborate the business scenario.
I have a distributed planning process. Various planners are responsible for various P_BUDGET_MODEL values, which are organized in a hierarchy based on these responsibilities.
When the user selects in a planning package the P_BUDGET_MODEL values, I want to run a logic that will perform calculations. In the logic I need to create data with various values of P_PCA. The values of P_PCA can be derived from the property P_BUDGET_MODEL.PROFIT_CTR.
I also have authorizations on P_PCA and they are synchronized with the authorizations on P_BUDGET_MODEL. The reason I have authorizations on P_PCA is that in various reports I have P_PCA as the display criteria and I do not want users to see all of the values. I also plan to base planning approval processes on this dimension in the future.
Since I have few users basically I needed a simple IF inside my logic, but there is no such statement.
I am a veteran BPS and IP consultant. Such a request was very easy to implement in those tools (using characteristic relations for example and also in FOX). It surprises me that it is so hard to implement in BPC.
Any new ideas?

Need to Create a Last 12 Months Variable for Custom Dimension

Hi everybody
Once again, I need your good help for an issue I'm facing. In one of our Cube, we have some Date Dimension sthat we've created ourselves (a ZCXXXXX dimension). For one Dimension, Ii need to create a variable that is giving me, automaticaly, the Last 12 Months excluding Current Month (same as the 0CML12LM provided by SAP) without any manual entry done by the user via the Variable Entry Screen.
I don't want to use offset because I don't want to allow any Manual intervention for my users because it is a report start via RRI.
Please let me know if you are aware on how to do this!
Thanks

Hi Arun
My problem is that my report is counting Incident per supplier per Month. We have a Key Figure that is doing the Total of incident with a Vendor Variable. So, for a given supplier, if there is no incident for the Incident Month, it won't display in the Result Page. Also, My report is dynamic so I'can not fix a Structure. On the other hand, I never used Strucutre, so I'm not really aware on how using this and if it will answer my need.
If you can give me more details, maybe I'll be able if a Structure is my solution.

After installing Mountain Lion, why is there Yahoo access for one user but not another?--both are administrators.

After installing Mountain Lion, why is there Yahoo access for one user but not another?--both are administrators.

We've had several instances where we have had to run chkdsk on arrays with over 1m files. Average completion time is approximately 72 hours. The maximum downtime window they have available is the 64 hour weekend window. File sizes and number of files were
much smaller then than they are now.
The idea, in theory, was to use VHDs to compartmentalize the data into smaller volumes which could be more easily managed. It would also improve performance when transferring these compartments of data as they would use sequential read/write rather than
fragmented/random. This idea was never fleshed out in entirety, they don't split data up into little containers, but simply into big ones per project. Hence the 11m files in one container that I am currently trying to diagnose.
Some other important facts: The VHD in question is mounted in B:/project/ as this server also allows remote workers to log in, but they are restricted to see only data in E:. Disks A-D are hidden via group policy.
Update: icacls is failing on a large number of files within this dataset. I counted the path characters to ensure it wasn't the 255 character limit I was encountering and verified that the paths being blocked are only about 150 characters long. Once it finishes,
I'll have to try taking ownership and then re-running it. At this point I still have no idea how long to expect. I'm running out of time as the environment will be in use again at 9AM tomorrow morning.

How to update one table based on another table ??

Hello Friends:
I am trying to run the following query in oracle but it won't run.
UPDATE BOYS
SET
BOYS.AGE = GIRLS.AGE
FROM GIRLS
WHERE
BOYS.FIRSTNAME = GIRLS.FIRSTNAME AND
BOYS.LASTNAME = GIRLS.LASTNAME;
This query runs fine in sql server but in oracle its saying can't find "SET". PLease tell me what is the correct syntax in oracle to update one table based on another table.
thanks

See if this helps.
If you wrote an SQL statement:
update boys set age = 10;
Every row in the boys table will get updated with an age of 10. But if you wrote:
update boys set age = 10
where firstname = 'Joe';
Then only the rows where the firstname is Joe would be updated with an age of 10.
Now replace the 10 in the above statements with (select g.age from girls g where g.firstname = b.firstname and g.lastname = b.lastname) and replace where firstname = 'Joe' in the second statement with where exists (select null from girls g where g.firstname = b.firstname and g.lastname = b.lastname). The same concepts apply whether 10 is an actual value or a query and whether you have a where clause with the update statement to limit rows being updated.
About the select null question regarding the outer where clause:
Since the query is checking to see if the row in the girls table exists in the boys table what the column is in this select statement doesn't matter, this column isn't being used anywhere. In this case Todd chose to use null. He could have also used a column name from the table or a lot of times you'll see the literal value 1 used here.

Safari works for one user but not another on same computer

MacBook with multiple user accounts. Safari (and Firefox) work fine for one user but are unable to open web pages when the other user is logged in. The error in Safar is "Safari can't open the page "http://xxxxxxxxx/" because it could not connect to the server "/xxxxxxx/" . DNS is working for this user. I am able to ping any number of sites from Terminal. Network Preference pane is configured to not require any proxy. This is a case of it was working but now it's not.
Can anybody help with this? I know I can fix this by simply creating another user and transfering the affected user's data to the new account but I would rather not. TIA

HI Bob,
You can test your settings by clicking the big "Test My DNS" button at <https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/services/dnsentropy>. If you see "Poor" on any of the tests, don't use that domain name server! Remove it from Apple Menu => System Preferences =>Network =>DNS Servers or similar location in your router if you've got a 'home network'. If all you have is "poor" DNS servers in your list, call your ISP and insist that they give you the address of a name server which is protected against the recently exposed DNS cache-poisoning threat.
Also, open System Preferences/Network. Click the DNS tab. Add these numbers in the DNS Servers box.

ODBC--connection to 'SQL Serverservername' failed for one user but not another

In Win7, we're linking tables in an MS Access 2010 db to tables in a SQL Server 2008 R2 db. The driver user by the File dsn is SQL Server version 6.01.7601.17514 & we're using SQL Server Authentication.
For some reason, one user gets the msg "ODBC--connection to 'SQL Serverservername' failed" before they're even asked for a password, but for other users, the prompt comes up and when they uncheck the Windows Auth box, they enter their password
and connect successfully to the SQL Server db. Both users have db_datareader access to the SQL Server db.
I had the user that gets the error msg log onto my PC and they get the same error (yet it works for me.)
This user was, however, able to successfully relink the tables, but then when we closed the access db and opened it again, the user got the "ODBC--connection..." error agin.
I'm stumped as to why this is happening for one user.

Hello Knellen,
Please help to collect more log information regarding this issue, such as windows event log, SQL Sever log information. They are helpful for us to troubleshoot it.

print ... '100' 'CREAM SUB..........CREAM' and if there is no "|" after the description then print nullI would appreciate any help

That's really poor design, storing multiple items in one column value like that. Any chance you can redesign the database to make it store the data properly?

Disable Drill options only for one dimension of Web Analysis report

Hi,
Please help me on below issue.
I created a web analysis report with 3 dimensions Accounts, MRC and Measure. I have to disable drill down and drill up options only for Measure. Accounts and MRC should be drillable where as Measure should show the selected member as static and not drillable.
Thanks

Hi Swetha,
You must've realized that- Even if you select only the desired members, you end up being able to drill-down unwanted members. Correct ? :)
The only way, I believe, is- To create a users' group at your Data source side, perhaps, Essbase & provision this new group with a Metaread filter which prevents him/her from Drilling down to the leaf node.
PS: Giving Read access might also let the user not see the data for children. But, if you want to hide the members also, Metaread+ is the way to go.

Multiple hierarchies for one dimension

Hi
I'm building a repository with The administration tool of OBIEE. the data source is an Oracle 10g datawarehouse created with OWB.
There is a geographic dimension with 4 different hierarchies and I want to create the same hierarchies in my repository.is it possible with OBIEE??
NB: The 4 hierarchies share some of the logical columns.

Create a variable in one table based on a value on another.

I have two existing tables, say TABLE1 and TABLE2. I need to create a key variable in TABLE2 and insert values for that variable from TABLE1 i.e. create an explicit relationship between the tables using a key variable. There exists a relationship
between the tables in that for each record in TABLE1 there are 28 records in TABLE2 and the records are arranged in sequential order. So:
TABLE1 TABLE2
REQUIREMENT
RECORD 1 -->
RECORDS 1 to 28 Copy key variable from RECORD1 in TABLE1 into RECORDS 1 to 28 in TABLE2
RECORD 2 -->
RECORDS 29 to 56 Copy key variable from RECORD2 in TABLE1 into RECORDS 29 to 56 in TABLE2
RECORD 3 -->
RECORDS 57 to 84 Copy key variable from RECORD3 in TABLE1 into RECORDS 57 to 84 in TABLE2
RECORD n--> RECORDS (n-1) * 28 + 1 to n * 28
Copy key variable from RECORD n in TABLE1 into RECORDS (n-1) * 28 + 1 to RECORDS n * 28 in TABLE2
Please help if you can. I am prepared to give any additional information when asked.

in the first post above is as specified.

Value for a parameter based on another parameter value

Hi all,
i am using report 6i and 10g db.
I have to create a report based on some parameter values. For example
Two parameter named as P_emp_code and P_emp_name
In the first parameter p_emp_code has list of values like empcode emp_full_name ie like 0002108 Vanitha Lanet Mendez
when user select P_emp_code i want to display the fullname in p_emp_name .
I tried as follows in list of values
select emp_fullname from emp_master where emp_code=:p_emp_code
then getting error bind variable cannot be used
Please suggest a way .
Thanks
Rincy

Hello,
The thing you are asking for set and editing the reports parameter form's value. Then i don't think you can do this by using the report parameter form.
But there are two alternatives for this task.
1. Create one form using form builder and pass the parameter and run the report from there. So, you can use the code as you showed in your first post.
2. Why don't you make this Title setting automatically? I Mean using the gender column (with decode/case condition) of same table.

Text-Variables for 12 selection based on 1 Date Variable

Hello.
I have a report where the user is being prompt to enter a start date (YYYYMM) in a variable. Based on that, my report have 12 selection using the variable + offset(1), + offset(2) .... + offset(11).
For the label of my columns, I'd like to display the the YYYYMM value, what the best way to achieve that? From what I see, I might have to create 11 variables that are equals to my original variable entered by the user with the use of offset and then create 12 text variables to get that information but I really hope I'm wrong...
Thanks.
Regards,
John

Ok, sounds a better way than defining 24 variables (12 text + 11 Replacement path).
Since I only have one variable (Month Selection by user), however, I'm not sure how to deal with the Offset in ABAP so I can properly assign my ZMONTH02TEXT, ZMONTH03TEXT, ZMONTH04TEXT and so on. Do you have any piece of code to share ? (Sorry, I'm pretty new to ABAP and I've been searching this forum for example but can't really find what I'm interested in).
Basically what I need to do is to assign the following:
ZCALMONTH01TEXT = ZCALMONTH --> The actual month is no problem as it's a simple replacement path variable defined
ZCALMONTH02TEXT = ZCALMONTH with offset of + 1
ZCALMONTH03TEXT ...
ZCALMONTH12TEXT = ZCALMONTH with offset of + 11
So it's ZCALMONTH02TEXT to ZCALMONTH12TEXT that I'm not sure how to code in the user exit..
Thanks.

Many to Many Subgrids - pouplate one relationship based on another entity's relationship

Say I have 'entity1' and 'entity2' and both have many to many relationships with 'entity3.'
Entity 1 has a many to many subgrid. We're going to get rid of entity 1 and replace it with entity 2.
We need entity 2 to have the same subgrid values that entity1 used to have. Entity 2 for now is unpopulated in its many to many relationship.
How could we achieve this other than manual data entry?
-If I could somehow export the data into xml format and reimport it that would work, but advanced find isn't an option.
-I don't believe workflows are an option.
One workaround I'm thinking of is to populate a mult-line text field using javascript. Then I could xfer the field and run another javascript to grab the values. Or maybe use rest services to avoid having to xfer. But these still require
me to open each entity and frankly the development time will be high enough that I might as well just do them by hand.

Hello
You could write a console application using (C#) to update/create your entity 2 objects.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg334754.aspx
Retrieve your entity 1 objects, create your entity 2 objects based on the entity 1 values. Associate your entity 2 with your entity 3 (N-N Relation).

Hope this gives you a start,

Filtering the contents of one alv based on another ALV's filter

Hi,
I have used a tab element within which i have two tabs.each tab has an alv table.
Is it possible to restrict the entries of one alv table based on enrties from another alv table(both the alv tables will have some common fields).for example I have filtered entries in alv1 based on field1 .when i go to alv2 entries should be restricted on the field1 (common field)
