No Reporting Symbol for the cube.

Hi all,
no reporting symbol for an cube.
I created Z cube without any aggregates and loaded data sucessfuly QM status is green but i'm not able to see the reporting symbol next the request id. When i checked in manage content data, data is available for the fact but not for any dimension table.
Please go through the following when we did the diagnosis.
Diagnosis
    There is an inconsistency between the load status of the data and the
    option of reporting on this data.
    There is data in the InfoProvider that is OK from a quality point of
    view, but is not yet displayed in reporting.
    The problem, for example, is to do with request 0000003343, number
    REQU_44ROL5YBBCJMDL5HQ8TVBAER6.
Procedure
    Choose Refresh to remove the inconsistency.
As per the procedure we did but went to short dump
UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
CX_SDB_ORA_PROGRAM_ERROR
Highly appreciable if any one could resolve our issues.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Niyati,
What is your BW version. If it is BI 7.0 then check these OSS Notes:
975948 No update statistics for newly created tables
998904 Statistics check shows red or yellow traffic lights
If it BW 3.X version then run the RSRV check for the cube.

Out of these, we know few symbol type like 2.Specification,3.Parameter,.........
But what about the other Report Symbol Types ? How they can be used & Where..?
Regarding, 16.Comments: Can this symbol type can be used to fulfill the purpose asked here,http://scn.sap.com/thread/3334515 ?
Thanks & Regards
Subash Sankar

Dear Subash
I checked this topic again. I have some interesting information. Later on I am planning to prepare a new document. Therefore: thanks for asking the question; it was very interesting to find some answers and to drill down in WWI process (which is quite complex).
Ok: The values you have mentioned are part of a domain in SAP (check report symbol table of EHS using transaction se11). If you generate a "where used list" you will find some Includes. One is related to "Constants" and in one other the "Constants" are used (here in a Form routine)
Therefore comming back to your list:
Phrase
Specification
Parameter
Descriptor
Standard Repeating Group
Special Repeating Group
Blank Compression Group
Optimized Repeating Group
IF Repeating Group

Any of these report types does have a "linked" value. Now it is interesting to detect that this value is used as "part" of the report symbol. You can check this by investigating table "ESTLS".
Example: if you check SAP online help regarding e.g."Repeating group" and an example you find this one:
<11BRG001(M,SAP_EHS_1015_003;1-3)>
<01G1015003AD(P;1)>
<11ERG001>
Now the value "11" is the value as part if the domain relating to "Standard Repeating Group".
The topic is explained a littel bit here:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06/helpdata/en/a7/2874e50a6c11d28a220000e829fbbd/content.htm?frameset=/en/c1/eda0f591ec12408b25e7a1b369ca45/frameset.htm
Chapter "Editing Descriptor Symbols"
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06/helpdata/en/6a/8ef2639f214475aebe63d8c6c6ae3c/content.htm
shows an example of thge "IF" type like:<15BIF006(AND:01EHS_ICREPV NE "NON")>
Therefore the value of "IF Repeating Group" = 15 (refer to content of the domain)
If you check the entries of ESTLS you can detect which report does have which report symbol and report symbol type and you can therefore detect which report symbol types are used and which are not.
Actually the type:
Comments
is not supported by SAP (therefore If my debug result is correct: even if you try to generate a report symbol with "link" tothis value; you wil not recieve a result). But in a parallel thread this topic has been discussed. So we can hope/assume that may be SAP will deliver something.
I am sorry to say that I will take some time to "drill" deeper. But if I am finished I plan to share the result.
C.B.
PS: The "value" for "Template" = 20 => if you check ESTLS, WWI etc. This value is used to "include" a WWI layout within a WWI layout; check e.g.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/4b/c5874174a8050de10000000a1550b0/content.htm?frameset=/en/a7/2871f60a6c11d28a220000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
and then chapter: Inclusion of Document Templates:value: <20INCLUDE("Test",01,SBV)>

WWI report Symbols

Hi Gurus
I am in the process of creating new template for Incident Management. In incident management we have Root Cause hierarchy. In our system we dont have standard symbols for root cause hierarchy. Any idea what are the symbols we need to use for popuating the RC hierarchy values in the report?
Standard table for RC hierarchy is CCIHT_RC.
TIA
Regards
Murali

Hello Murali,
As far as my knowledge goes, there is no standard SAP way to include cause heirarchy nodes as symbols in the report template.
My suggestion here would be to write the summary of the root cause analysis in "Investigation result". This field you can very well capture in the template with symbol "EAI_IVRSLT INVRESULT".

Pavan

New parameter report symbol configuration

What is the end to end process of creating new report symbol .Do I have to create separate function module and assign in the configuration .

Hello M D,
1. You would need to configure a symbol group and assign function modules to it, if no suitable existing symbol group available.
There are two function modules assigned to each symbol group:
The first function module is used for symbol expansion. Use function module 'C12O_PARAMETER_VALUES_SELECT' for symbol expansion.
The second function module is used for default parameter determination of symbol groups. You can copy the existing function module for determining default parameter values for any standard symbol groups and change the copied function module according to your requirement to fill the values for parameter symbol.
2. Then, you configure a new parameter symbol and assign it to the symbol group.
3. Add the parameter symbol in the report template.
4. Development to be done in the function module for determining default parameter values, assigned to the symbol group, to populate the value for the parameter symbol based on your requirement.
Thanks and Regards,
Kannan Veerapandian.

What is field symbols?

Hi all,
Can anyone explains what is Fiels symbol and significance of that with examples?
Thanks
Shiva

HI Shiva
Field symbols are placeholders or symbolic names for other fields. They do not physically reserve space for a field, but point to its contents. A field symbol cam point to any data object. The data object to which a field symbol points is assigned to it after it has been declared in the program.
Whenever you address a field symbol in a program, you are addressing the field that is assigned to the field symbol. After successful assignment, there is no difference in ABAP whether you reference the field symbol or the field itself. You must assign a field to each field symbol before you can address the latter in programs.
Field symbols are similar to dereferenced pointers in C (that is, pointers to which the content operator * is applied). However, the only real equivalent of pointers in ABAP, that is, variables that contain a memory address (reference) and that can be used without the contents operator, are reference variables in ABAP Objects. (For more information, see Data References).
All operations programmed with field symbols are applied to the field assigned to it. For example, a MOVE statement between two field symbols moves the contents of the field assigned to the first field symbol to the field assigned to the second field symbol. The field symbols themselves point to the same fields after the MOVE statement as they did before.
You can create field symbols either without or with type specifications. If you do not specify a type, the field symbol inherits all of the technical attributes of the field assigned to it. If you do specify a type, the system checks the compatibility of the field symbol and the field you are assigning to it during the ASSIGN statement.
Field symbols provide greater flexibility when you address data objects:
If you want to process sections of fields, you can specify the offset and length of the field dynamically.
You can assign one field symbol to another, which allows you to address parts of fields.
Assignments to field symbols may extend beyond field boundaries. This allows you to address regular sequences of fields in memory efficiently.
You can also force a field symbol to take different technical attributes from those of the field assigned to it.
The flexibility of field symbols provides elegant solutions to certain problems. On the other hand, it does mean that errors can easily occur. Since fields are not assigned to field symbols until runtime, the effectiveness of syntax and security checks is very limited for operations involving field symbols. This can lead to runtime errors or incorrect data assignments.
While runtime errors indicate an obvious problem, incorrect data assignments are dangerous because they can be very difficult to detect. For this reason, you should only use field symbols if you cannot achieve the same result using other ABAP statements.
For example, you may want to process part of a string where the offset and length depend on the contents of the field. You could use field symbols in this case. However, since the MOVE statement also supports variable offset and length specifications, you should use it instead. The MOVE statement (with your own auxiliary variables if required) is much safer than using field symbols, since it cannot address memory beyond the boundary of a field. However, field symbols may improve
To declare a field symbol, use the statement
FIELD-SYMBOLS <FS> [<type>|STRUCTURE <s> DEFAULT <wa>].
For field symbols, the angle brackets are part of the syntax. They identify field symbols in the program code.
If you do not specify any additions, the field symbol <FS> can have data objects of any type assigned to it. When you assign a data object, the field symbol inherits its technical attributes. The data type of the assigned data object becomes the actual data type of the field symbol.
Note: it is possible to assign reference variables and structured data objects to untyped field symbols. However, the static field symbol is only a pointer to the field in memory, and does not have the complex type attributes of a reference or structured field until runtime. You can only use the field symbol to address the whole field (for example, in a MOVE statement). Specific statements such as CREATE OBJECT <FS> or LOOP AT <FS> are not possible.
Typing Field Symbols
The <type> addition allows you to specify the type of a field symbol. When you assign a data object to a field symbol, the system checks whether the type of the data object you are trying to assign is compatible with that of the field symbol. If the types are not compatible or convertible, the system reacts with a syntax or runtime error. If however, you want to assign the type of the field symbol to the data object by means of casting, you must do so explicitly using the ASSIGN statement. The system then treats the assigned data object as if it had the same type as the field symbol.
You specify the type of a field symbol using the same semantics as for formal parameters in procedures. For <type> you can enter either TYPE <t> or LIKE <f>. You can specify the type either generically or in full. If you specify a generic type, the type of the field symbol is either partially specified or not specified at all. Any attributes that are not specified are inherited from the corresponding data object in the ASSIGN statement. If you specify the type fully, all of the technical attributes of the field symbol are determined when you define it. You can then only assign data objects to it that have exactly the same data type.
You should always specify a type for each field symbol. If you cannot avoid defining a generic field symbol, make this clear by using an appropriate generic type declaration.
Generic Type Specification
The following types allow you more freedom when using actual parameters. The data object only needs to have the selection of attributes specified.
Typing
Check for data object
No type specification
TYPE ANY
All types of data object are accepted. The field symbol adopts all of the attributes of the data object.
TYPE C, N, P, or X
Only data objects with type C, N, P, or X are accepted. The field symbol adopts the field length and DECIMALS specification (type P) of the data object.
TYPE TABLE
The system checks whether the data object is a standard internal table. This is a shortened form of TYPE STANDARD TABLE (see below).
TYPE ANY TABLE
The system checks whether the data object is an internal table. The field symbol inherits all of the attributes (line type, table type, key) from the data object.
TYPE INDEX TABLE
The system checks whether the data object is an index table (standard or sorted table). The field symbol inherits all of the attributes (line type, table type, key) from the data object.
TYPE STANDARD TABLE
The system checks whether the data object is a standard internal table. The field symbol inherits all of the remaining attributes (line type, key) from the data object.
TYPE SORTED TABLE
The system checks whether the actual parameter is a sorted internal table. The field symbol inherits all of the remaining attributes (line type, key) from the data object.
TYPE HASHED TABLE
The system checks whether the actual parameter is a hashed internal table. The field symbol inherits all of the remaining attributes (line type, key) from the data object.
If you specify a type generically, remember that the attributes inherited by the field symbol from the program are not statically recognizable in the program. You can, at most, address them dynamically.
TYPES: BEGIN OF line,
         col1 TYPE c,
         col2 TYPE c,
       END OF line.
DATA: wa TYPE line,
      itab TYPE HASHED TABLE OF line WITH UNIQUE KEY col1,
      key(4) TYPE c VALUE 'COL1'.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> TYPE ANY TABLE.
ASSIGN itab TO <fs>.
READ TABLE <fs> WITH TABLE KEY (key) = 'X' INTO wa.
The internal table ITAB is assigned to the generic field symbol <FS>, after which it is possible to address the table key of the field symbol dynamically. However, the static address
READ TABLE <fs> WITH TABLE KEY col1 = 'X' INTO wa.
is not possible syntactically, since the field symbol does not adopt the key of table ITAB until runtime. In the program, the type specification ANY TABLE only indicates that <FS> is a table. If the type had been ANY (or no type had been specified at all), even the specific internal table statement READ TABLE <FS> would not have been possible.
If you adopt a structured type generically (a structure, or a table with structured line type), the individual components cannot be addressed in the program either statically or dynamically. In this case, you would have to work with further field symbols and the method of assigning structures component by component.
Specifying the Type Fully
When you use the following types, the technical attributes of the field symbols are fully specified. The technical attributes of the data objects must correspond to those of the field symbol.
Typing
Technical attributes of the field symbol
TYPE D, F, I, or T
The field symbol has the technical attributes of the predefined elementary type
TYPE <type>
The field symbol has the type <type>. This is a data type defined within the program using the TYPES statement, or a type from the ABAP Dictionary
TYPE REF TO <cif>|DATA
The field symbol is a reference variable for the class or interface <cif>, or for a data object.
TYPE LINE OF <itab>
The field symbol has the same type as a line of the internal table <itab> defined using a TYPES statement or defined in the ABAP Dictionary
LIKE <f>
The field symbol has the same type as an internal data object <f> or structure, or a database table from the ABAP Dictionary
When you use a field symbol that is fully typed, you can address its attributes statically in the program, since they are recognized in the source code. If you fully specify the type of a field symbol as a reference or structured data object, you can address it as you would the data object itself, once you have assigned an object to it. So, for example, you could address the components of a structure, loop through an internal table, or create an object with reference to a field symbol.
REPORT demo_field_symbols_type .
DATA: BEGIN OF line,
         col1(1) TYPE c,
         col2(1) TYPE c VALUE 'X',
       END OF line.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> LIKE line.
ASSIGN line TO <fs>.
MOVE <fs>-col2 TO <fs>-col1.
The field symbol <FS> is fully typed as a structure, and you can address its components in the program.
Attaching a structure to a field symbol
The STRUCTURE addition forces a structured view of the data objects that you assign to a field symbol.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <FS> STRUCTURE <s> DEFAULT <f>.
The structure <s> is either a structured local data object in the program, or a flat structure from the ABAP Dictionary. <f> is a data object that must be assigned to the field symbol as a starting field. However, this assignment can be changed later using the ASSIGN statement.
When you assign a data object to the field symbol, the system only checks that it is at least as long as the structure. You can address the individual components of the field symbol. It has the same technical attributes as the structure <s>.
If <s> contains components with type I or F, you should remember the possible effects of alignment. When you assign a data object to a field symbol with a structure, the data object must have the same alignment, otherwise a runtime error may result. In such cases, you are advised to assign such data objects only to structured field symbols, which retain the same structure as the field symbol at least over the length of the structure.
The STRUCTURE is obsolete; you should no longer use it. Field symbols defined using the STRUCTURE addition are a mixture of typed field symbols and a utility for casting to either local or ABAP Dictionary data types. If you want to define the type of a field symbol, include the TYPE addition in a FIELD-SYMBOLS statement. If you want to use casting, include the CASTING addition in an ASSIGN statement.
Example using the obsolete STRUCTURE addition:
DATA: wa(10) VALUE '0123456789'.
DATA: BEGIN OF line1,
         col1(3),
         col2(2),
         col3(5),
      END OF line1.
DATA: BEGIN OF line2,
         col1(2),
         col2 LIKE sy-datum,
      END OF line2.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <f1> STRUCTURE line1 DEFAULT wa,
               <f2> STRUCTURE line2 DEFAULT wa.
WRITE: / <f1>-col1, <f1>-col2, <f1>-col3,
       / <f2>-col1, <f2>-col2.
Example using the correct syntax (TYPE and CASTING):
DATA: wa(10) VALUE '0123456789'.
DATA: BEGIN OF line1,
         col1(3),
         col2(2),
         col3(5),
      END OF line1.
DATA: BEGIN OF line2,
         COL1(2),
         COL2 LIKE sy-datum,
      END OF line2.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <f1> LIKE line1.
ASSIGN wa TO <f1> CASTING.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <f2> LIKE line2.
ASSIGN wa TO <f2> CASTING.
WRITE: / <f1>-col1, <F1>-col2, <F1>-col3,
       / <f2>-col1, <F2>-col2.
In both cases, the list appears as follows:
012 34 56789
01 2345/67/89
This example declares two field symbols to which different structures are attached. The string WA is then assigned to each of them. The output shows that the field symbols assign the strings component by component according to the type of the components.
Assigning Components of Structures to a Field Symbol
For a structured data object <s>, you can use the statement
ASSIGN COMPONENT <comp> OF STRUCTURE <s> TO <FS>.
to assign one of its components <comp> to the field symbol <FS>. You can specify the component <comp> either as a literal or a variable. If <comp> is of type C or a structure that has no internal tables as components, it specifies the name of the component. If <comp> has any other elementary data type, it is converted to type I and specifies the number of the component. If the assignment is successful, SY-SUBRC is set to 0. Otherwise, it is set to 4.
This statement is particularly important for addressing components of structured data objects dynamically. If you assign a data object to a field symbol either generically or using casting, or pass it generically (or using casting) to the parameter interface of a procedure, you cannot address its components either statically or dynamically. Instead, you must use the above statement. This allows indirect access either using the component name or its index number.
DATA: BEGIN OF LINE,
        COL1 TYPE I VALUE '11',
        COL2 TYPE I VALUE '22',
        COL3 TYPE I VALUE '33',
      END OF LINE.
DATA COMP(5) VALUE 'COL3'.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <F1>, <F2>, <F3>.
ASSIGN LINE TO <F1>.
ASSIGN COMP TO <F2>.
DO 3 TIMES.
ASSIGN COMPONENT SY-INDEX OF STRUCTURE <F1> TO <F3>.
WRITE <F3>.
ENDDO.
ASSIGN COMPONENT <F2> OF STRUCTURE <F1> TO <F3>.
WRITE / <F3>.
The output is:
11         22         33
33
The field symbol <F1> points to the structure LINE, <F2> points to the field COMP. In the DO loop, the components of LINE are specified by their numbers and assigned one by one to <F3>. After the loop, the component COL3 of LINE is specified by its name and assigned to <F3>. Note that ASSIGN COMPONENT is the only possible method of addressing the components of <F1>. Expressions such as <F1>-COL1 are syntactically incorrect.

If you want to send stdout to one file and stderr to another, with overwrite, it'd be

Correct, of course. ;-)
And, of course, changing either of those ">" symbols to ">>" would append (that stream), but you've already said that. ;-)

What is the symbol $ for?

Hi i'd like to know what is the $ symbol for and when it can be used.
I've seen it in class definitions like
"org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process"
Thanks

Basically '$' is an ordinary "Java letter", but should normally not be used in identifiers (see below). The JLS says [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/lexical.html#3.8]:
The Java letters include uppercase and lowercase ASCII Latin letters A-Z (\u0041-\u005a), and a-z (\u0061-\u007a), and, for historical reasons, the ASCII underscore (_, or \u005f) and dollar sign ($, or \u0024). The $ character should be used only in mechanically generated source code or, rarely, to access preexisting names on legacy systems.
Some details on how Java uses the '$' internally are available here: [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/binaryComp.html#13.1]
Another example that is not connected to nested or inner classes is with java.lang.reflect.Proxy [http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/reflect/Proxy.html]:
The unqualified name of a proxy class is unspecified. The space of class names that begin with the string "$Proxy" should be, however, reserved for proxy classes.

On an iPod touch 5th gen, in itunes, my music, there is a symbol next to some of the songs that looks like a cloud with a downward arrow. What does this symbol mean? I can still play these songs, so it can't be to download. Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Suport Communities
That symbol appears for songs purchased in the iTunes Store. When you see that symbol, it means that the song is not stored on the iPod, so you can listen to it from the iTunes Store if you press the title. If you press the cloud symbol, the song will be downloaded to your iPod touch and all your devices with Automatic Downloads enabled.

What is Report to Analyst?

Wondering what is Report to analyst property , is it used by BizTalk internally somewhere?
Thanks, Girish R. Patil.

There is an existing thread, refer the below short note & link
It's used when you generate a Visio diagram using the Orchestration Designer for Business Analysts. Any shape set with "report to analyst = false" won't show up in the diagram. Probably most useful for shapes that don't add business flow value,
but are purely for internal orchestration setup/processing.
