Variable to create new dimension value in Webi

hi There
in a webi report, i have couple of variables, what i need to do is to create a new dimension by these variables, so i can use it in a chart
for example:
i have current month, previous month, previous of previous month, all of them are variables, i need to create a new dimension, so i can use it in a crosstab to create a chart
thanks
Cleo

because the client needs 6 months trend report, and in webi level, it is hard to use the report date prompted by the user to calculate the 5 previous months, so in universe level, i create 5 objects to get 5 previous month of report month prompted by the user, for example, if the user input the report month ="3/24/2014", the previous month will be 2/1/2014, and previous previous will be 1/1/2014, then 12/1/2013, 11/1/2013, 10/1/2013
under each month, i will create 6 variables for another metric, say % medium error=total tickets opened where priority = medium, the reason, i create these fields manually, because not all of the month will have tickets opened by all support group, i know i can create a 6 months object in universe level, but if i add drill down filters, if the support has no ticket, the 6 months trend will be changed to 2 or 3 months, the user wants report layout has no change no matter if it will have data or not, that is why i create different variables for the month, and different variables for other metrcis. i already finished this table part, but the issue is i cannot use this table data to create a chart, so i need to creat new variables to include all these 6 months variables and metrcis "% medium error" variables
thanks,

Error in Partials for new dimension values

Hello everyone,
I was trying out partial update for the first time on our index. ADDS, UPDATES, DELETES everything works out fine. The only error we are seeing is when an ADD or UPDATE has a new dimension value in it, the following error shows up:
*DGRAPH {dgraph,update} Record change references unknown dimension value id 4294428511 [recspec=`P_RECORD_SPEC:GS1001B101508E']*
This is what I observe:
~ data/state/autogen_dimensions.xml has the entries for this dimension after partial forge is completed
~ the forge output files SomeName--sgmt0.records.xml has the entries for this dimension
My thinking is the new dimensions collected in autogen-dimensions.xml during the partial are not available to the dgraph when the update is run. Am I missing any steps? Can you please point me the right direction. Please let me know if you need additional information on my setup.

Can you share your XML record manipulator where you tag each record with the update action? This would be a place where you would see:
<EXPRNODE NAME="ACTION" VALUE="ADD_OR_REPLACE"/>
The missing piece might be: <EXPRNODE NAME="DIM_ACTION" VALUE="ADD"/>
The latest documentation has a good, dedicated partial update guide.

Rollup for new dimension values.

hai,
i've created some dimensions and variables and added values to them.set the hierearchies and performed roll-up for the corresponding variables.Everything was OK then.
But when i add new values to the dimension at various levels , set the hierarchial information for them and stored the variable values for the lowest level i want to perform roll-up for the newly added values only instead of performing roll-up for the whole data.
Any suggessions or guidelines are welcome.
Thanks and regards.

If you know exactly values you've added to dimention (for example there are days for new month, new department, e.t) you should limit dimention to those new values and execute ROLLAP or AGGREGATE command. In case AGGREGATE you can correct and recompile aggregation map to include only new added values. You can experiment with AGGREGATE() function to aggregate data on fly, but I've experienced very bad perfomance in case big variables .

Create new dimension on top of SAP BW data

Hi expert,
I'm having a problem to create a new dimension on top on SAP BW data. I have a dimension details object called 'L01 G/L Account Key'. When I drag this object to the result object in the web intelligence, it display full data like '1000/30100'. How can I trim the data so it shows '30100'?.Is there any formula that support in universe?
I don't want to do the formula inside the web intelligence report because I want to use this dimension to other reports as well.
Please expert....help me!
Thanks & Regards,
Syahida-

Hi,
SAP BW MDX does not support calculations that return string or date: this is a limitation of SAP BW OLAP engine.
By the way I found exceptions that satisfy your requirement.
For instance you can manipulate a substring of a dimension only with NAME and UNIQUENAME attributes.
Example, you can use these expressions:
<EXPRESSION>right([OD_COUNTRY].currentmember.name, 4)</EXPRESSION>
<EXPRESSION>right([OD_COUNTRY].currentmember.uniquename, 4)</EXPRESSION>
<EXPRESSION>left([OD_COUNTRY].currentmember.name, 4)</EXPRESSION>
<EXPRESSION>left([OD_COUNTRY].currentmember.uniquename, 4)</EXPRESSION>
<EXPRESSION>mid([OD_COUNTRY].currentmember.uniquename, 2,4)</EXPRESSION>

Creating new categories values in Answers (Presentation). How?

I tried to create three different groups of objects according to their values, in Answers on BI 10
What I did was adding a new column and writing inside something like this:
CASE WHEN Value."Value" >= 100000 THEN 'FirstGroup' WHEN Value."Value" between 50000 and 100000 THEN 'SecondGroup' ELSE 'ThirdGroup' END
This works in table view, but I would like to use the three groups to create charts (a pie chart, for instance).
Anyone can suggest me how to accomplish this, just by using Answers? More generally, is there a simple way to use Answers to create new groups, according to given rules?
Regards,
Fabio

Create new mailbox via Groupwise web service (SOAP)

Good evening!
I'm new to Groupwise integration via SOAP and was looking through the web service API at this page.
Unfortunately, I was not able to find a method that would allow me to create a new mailbox. Do you have any info if this is even doable via the Groupwise web services? If so, what method should I be using?
Kind regards
Hubbovich

That is only possible programmatically through
the Admin API.

Create a new dimension in business layer from Data source: text file on the web

Hi,
I have a text data source which is published every few hours that is accessible from a certain URL. I follow the instruction given in this http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-43144 - where it shows in great detail how to create the connection, data foundation as well as business layer to create a universe for this type of data.
All is well - I can use this universe in my WEBI doc and display the data.
However, in order for me to merge the data from this universe with another universe, I need to create new dimension based on the data from the text file. The new dimension value is simply the first 4 characters of the Subject found in the text file. The "Subject" dimension is of variant type: varchar.
Following the guide mentioned earlier, the connection is using SAP BO OpenConnectivity driver. And this driver limits severely the SQL statement that I can use to extract a substring of another string. Here's the screenshot of the SQl expression that I can use with this driver
After hours of searching, I cannot find any other connection driver for a text file that's published on a certain URL. The BO OpenConnection driver is the best that I could find.
So here are my problems
1. one of my data source is a text file published on a web
2. the only connection I can create does not allow me to create new dimension in the universe to create an important column "subject ID"
3. I can create the column in webi as a variable. But when I do so, I cannot merge it with existing dimension (webi not allowing to merge these 2 types). And without the merge, the flat file universe with my database universe can't be combined.
I'm using WEBI Rich client version 4.1 SP3 Patch 1. Build 14.1.3.1300
Is there any other idea that you can suggest without requiring to change the extracted data?
Thanks.
With warm regards

Hi Bala,
Were you able to find out a solution for the problem with uploading values for a variable from a text file on the web? I am confronted with the same request from users.

Error while creating a new Dimension/Model in BPC 10.0 NW

Hello Experts,
I am using BPC 10.0 NW system.
When I try to create new Dimensions or Models I get the following Error Message.
"Error in Admin module or a component used by Admin module.
Failed to create SAP NetWeaver BI InfoObject for dimension."
I am assigned to all the needed task profiles to create Dimensions and Models.
Please assist me to resolve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Archana

Thanks Roberto.
The error was coming because while creating the user id "SAP_ALL" Profile was not assigned. So I was not able to create Dimensions and models.
Now the issue is solved.

Creation of New Dimensions

Dear
I want to create new dimensions as I have only ASGRUN and ASGPTO_YTD in the balance dimension form
Secondly I want to store running balances of an element value start from employee joining date to end of service.
Thanks

what is your legislation?
If there exists a localisation for your legislation, then you should have more then 2 balance dimensions.
If there is no localization, creating one (from ZZ) should you also give more then 2 dimensions. (see ML 261452.1)
So i'm surprised you do not have the ASGITD (Inception to date, which accumulates run results from the hire date on).
There is also a standard concurrent program to add extra dimensions, but i would first try to understand why the seeded ASGITD is not there.

Dynamic setting of the dimension values.

Summary:
How can I programmatically control the dimension values displayed in ‘Selected’ window of ‘Edit worksheet’ wizard. of Oracle BI Discoverer plus for OLAP 10.12.48
My objective is to dynamically set the dimension values for a particular dimension based on some criteria.
Requirement:
1.The user should be able to select one of the pre-defined options.
2.Based on the option selected by the user, the necessary business logics need to be applied and then resets the dimension values. The ‘Selected’ window of ‘Edit Worksheet’ should be refreshed.
3.Based on the option the short description & long description should be changed
Existing Application Implementation:
We already implemented this logic in oracle express 6.3.4 as follows.
1.Radio buttons are provided to select the display option
2.Whenever the option is changed, a program is executed in the Express objects. This program evaluates the option, applies the necessary business logics and displays the dimension values based on the option chosen. View is then refreshed to reflect the new dimension values. Note that this process does not affect the total “available dimension” values. The total number of “available dimension” values remains the same. It just manipulates the values in the ‘Selection’ object.
3.The formula of the short description and long description is modified. This formula checks the option and based on it changes the description
Issues I faced to Implement this logic in Oracle BI Discoverer plus for OLAP 10.1.2.48
1. No provision to add radio buttons, hence were trying to implement the functionality with a dimension.
2. No options available for applying business rule and setting the desired dimension values.
3. No ‘event’ available to refresh the views
How can I achieve this in Oracle 10g discoverer plus for olap 10.1.2.48
Thanks,
Natarajan

I think this is not possible.
When you give this settings while creating the SMARTForm, SMARTForm will generate a FM based on that settings. And it is not possible to change those settings at runtime.
We have some constriants like this for dynamic paradigm in SMARTForm. Like, we can provide shading or Box color for the cell.

New Dimension to a Cube

Hi,
We've a cube already in production (with huge amount of data). Now we have to add few more 'new' characteristics to this cube.
My question is, can I create new Dimension and add characteristics to this without deleting data?
As the characteristics are new, we don't have to care about reloading the cube as data for these new characteristics don't exist.
Can it be done? Any thoughts?
Regards,
Vikrant.

Hello,
If you had a new characteristic to an existing dimension you don't have to delete data. I already done that procedure many times.
This can help you too:
From this weblog:
Remodeling in NW BI 2004s
"In BW 3.5 version, if data is present in an infoprovider, we can add an infoobject to it, but we cannot delete or replace an existing infoobject in it, unless all infoprovider data is deleted.
This problem has been overcome in BI 2004s version, where the concept of 'Remodeling' can be used to change the structure of an infoprovider even while it holds data."
Ok, so, in version BW3.X and BI7 you can add a new characteristic to an existing dimension, but you have more options in BI7. If you want to had a new dimension you have to delete all data.

Jorge Diogo

PMS: Creation of new filter values

Dear Reader,
I am working on a PMS implementation where one particular appraisal template has multiple appraisers. The only way I can attach and identify between multiple appraisers is by creating new filters in table T77HAP_FLT_SEL.
I plan to then use BADI implementations to help identify the persons for each filter value from OM relationships.
But am at a loss as to how to create new filter values in this table. Would anybody be in a position to advise?
Thanks in advance.
Example scenario:
Every appraisee has three appraisers: MANAGER, BUSINESS AREA GENERAL MANAGER (BAGM) and DOTTED-LINE MANAGER (DLM). There is no unified logic in the existing OM structure to identify the BAGM other than to create a custom relationship between all child org units and the position of the BAGM.
I need to name all three participants as appraisers in the appraisal category - but the only way I can name multiple persons as appraiser is to provide a selection ID at the category level (the selection ID being the filter value picked up from table T77HAP_FLT_SEL). For this, I would need to create values for BAGM and DLM in T77HAP_FLT_SEL so that I can pick them up when configuring my category.

Thanks Dilek,
That was the first thing I had tried. However, there is no maintenance dialog for T77HAP_FLT_SEL in transaction SM30 - the error says no maintenance objects exist for this table/view.
From my research so far, it looks like the selection ID/filter value is picked up by BADI HRHAP00_SELECTION. But am not sure if the same BADI is used to populate new values in this table or not.

Multiple records to be created for multiple values in a field

I am having a requirement in which i will have multiple values for a field.The values are seperated by commas.I need a record to be created for each value.(eg: if there are 4 values i need 4 records to be created). Any one please help me out.

Hi !
You can try solve it at File Content Conversion level, by specifing your value separator as the endSeparator.
Or you can import all values as a unique record and then solve it via graphical mapping, using an advanced UDF, where you receive N records, then inside the UDF, you split the values via its separator and create new array values (one for each input value after splitting) and output that array to be used to fill destination structure.

Matias.
