Hi,

Is it possible to show only first N rows of data in SAP Design Studio Charts/Cross Tab ?

Eg

Bex Query Output

Here If I mention First 2 rows, my chart looks like below

If I mention First 4 rows, my chart looks like below

Thanks

Hello , a question please.

I have a query with a default value of the current month with a -1 offset - see below.

This means that when my design studio application opens it will do so with the previous month's data but, also allow the end user to filter on other months.

The issue I have is with the data sources in design studio itself insomuch as they do not seem to update when we move into the next month.

The above was captured today (05/07/2016) but, I had to change the value in the data source myself because the value was showing 05.2016 which is current month -2 not -1 as per my variable.....

What I would like is for the value in my data source to change to the previous month whenever we cross a month end.

Cheers,

Guy

Hi colleagues,

Faced an issue with dropdown box popup window. By default, if box has more that 10 items then popup will have scroll.

So the issue is: when i try to select value from invisible scrolled side - popup window automatically resets position and moves to default place at selected member => i can't select hided items.

I've tried this thing on empty application with no css and any objects except ddbox.

Any ideas what wrong with it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Friends,

My Dashboard contains three listbox and based upon the selection of these three listbox, the data is populated in a textbox using getDataAsString function. The logic is working fine when individual values are selected from each listbox but the same logic is not working when ALL is selected from the listbox. I tried by putting a set of codes to pass blank value to the required dimension but it does not work. The code which I added to make it work is highlighted in bold below.

Code on click event ofShowbutton:

var calmon = CALMON.getSelectedValue();

var orguni = ORGUNIT.getSelectedValue();

var compco = COMPCODE.getSelectedValue();

if (calmon == "(ALL_MEMBERS)")

{

calmon = "";

}

if (orguni == "(ALL_MEMBERS)")

{

orguni = "";

}

if (compco == "(ALL_MEMBERS)")

{

compco = "";

}

HC.setText(DS_2.getDataAsString("00O2TLJS35QHRHTQDWRHMPNP8",{"0CALMONTH":calmon,"0ORGUNIT":orguni,"0COMP_CODE":compco}));

As a part of SCN search, I came across many threads where this function GETDATAASSTRING is used for different purposes, but I could not relate them with my issue. Hence, seeking expert advise.

Increase width of column series in charts using CSSHi,

I found this thread regarding using CSS to increase the column width in a DS column chart.

http://scn.sap.com/message/16042016

Unfortunately, the correct answer does not work for me.

g.v-m-main g.v-m-plot g.v-column:nth-child(1)    .v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint {width:100px; !important}

When debugging, I cannot find this class "v-column"! Perhaps this has changed with DS 1.6?

I have discovered other classes, and while I can manually change the width (Shift F12 DOM debugging), I do not seem to have found the right combination to put in my CSS.

One, failed attempt was

g.v-m-main  g.v-m-plot  g.v-plot-main g.v-datapoint-group   .v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint {width: 100px; !important}

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

Martin

Hi Community,

I am facing a problem with Design Studio when trying to assign a value to a Variable.

I am connecting to the data with BEX Query using OLAP connection.

I want to assign a value to a variable ('X' or '#') and therfore the data will change accordingly.

To do this I'm using the following sentence: APPLICATION.setVariableValueExt("Variablename", 'X');

I've tried doing it locally aswell (DS_x.setVariableValueExt("Variablename", 'X'); with the same result.

The error is as follow: Termination message sent ABEND RSBOLAP (000): Program error in class CL_RSBOLAP_SO_STRUCTURE method: MSGV1: CL_RSBOLAP_SO_STRUCTURE.

It is weired because it works both in RSRT and BO Analysis for Microsfot Excel, but it seems that the values are not allowed in Design Studio.

This error does not give a dump in ST12.

Additional information:

Design Studio v1.6 SP2

Thanks in advanced for your help!

Hello!  I am new with Design Studio and using Version 16 SP1 Patch 1.

I have a crosstab which I would like to drill on.  I can do this with a chart, but can't get it to work here.

The crosstab is connected to a UNX data source and displays 5 columns of that data source.

I want to click on a row (anywhere in the row), and display a pop up container which contains additional information from the data source, namely Summary text data.  The Summary text data is not displayed in the crosstab, but is in the query for the UNX data source.

I know how to make the popup visible when I click on the row.

I've tried filtering using an ID field and then using CROSSTAB_1.getSelectedMember"_xxxxxx").text;

I cannot make this work.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Hello Experts,

I created application in which I have one dropdown (site) and two charts

1. Column chart
2. Bar chart

When i select my site in drop down, chart1 will displaying 4 columns by category sales.

When I click on any 1 bar, chart2 should display top 5 articles in bar chart.

On chart1 properties I have written the following code but my chart 2 is displaying values for all categories.

var filter = CHART_1.getSelectedMember("0PLANT");

DS_2.setFilter("0PLANT", filter);

DS_2.setFilter("0RPA_WGH3",CHART_2.getSelectedMember("0RPA_WGH3"));

Chart 2

I selected site 71762 in drop down, So chart 1 displayed data for 71762, Then I click on First Bar (ie GP G), but my chart 2 is displaying all the categories (Seafood, produce, meat and grocery). Can someone please help me where I am going wrong.

I searched in SDN and also in Google by typing "Filter in chart SAP Design Studio", "Chart on Click in sap design studio", "Filters in Chart in sap design studio" and more but couldn't find desired information. Even i didnt find what CSS statement to be written for filter.

Thanks

Hi all,

We use now more then 2 year design studio in our company. For the first year, only the developer department use Design Studio. In this time we have migrated 700 WAD (Version 3.5) to 450 Design Studio Report.

In two years I have create more then 45 OSS Notes abound Design Studio bugs.

In the project we went Live with Version 1.5. After a short time, many users notify a several small issues and two big issues, all this issues was in basic reporting functions. This two big issues takes a long time to fixed from SAP and then we upgraded to the 1.5 SP1. Few issues was fixed and few issues come additional.

This situation we had several time, in 1 year. Also this Month with upgrade 1.6 SP2 Patch1 (4th Design Studio upgrade in 1 year), we implement this Version because the BIP Server was unstable when different user are working on the same report with different languages. We was happy that this issues was fixed, but surprise one big issues comes now new. Bookmarking are not working correct with 1.6 SP2. Answer from SAP is again, the development will fixed it in the Version 1.6 SP3.

This game we are playing the last year, four time. Every Upgrade costs us a lot of time and money. Worse is, that the end user (4500 Employee) are relay disappointed about Design Studio. Several departments refuse to work with design studio reports.

I'm impressive how many new fancy function are implemented in each new Design Studio Version, but for my 4500 End User the basic function are essential.

If you are also a disappointed customer please comment this blog! Let us discuss and share your experience in this blog. We are powerful together.

Maybe the development team will concentrate to improve the basics.

Thanks a lot for you help.

Hi Experts,

I created a Design Studio Application with Version 1.2 and tried now the latest Version 1.6 SP3.

So far everything is working fine I just have one issue with onclick events and Panels.

Until know it was possible to have a structure like following:

PANEL_1_MAIN

     - PANEL_2_HEADER

     - PANEL_3_BODY

and i was able to create a script behind the PANEL_1_MAIN onclick event.

So everytime someone click anywhere in the PANEL_1_MAIN Panel the script was executed.

Now with Version 1.3 SP3 it seems that the script is NOT executed anymore if you click on the PANEL_2/3 within the PANEL_1_MAIN.

Nevertheless the correct "click" mouse pointer is shown, but nothing happens.

With Chrome everything is working still as expected, but IE is the main browser used in the company.

So hopefully someone can help,

thank,

andreas

Hi everyone,

I have a Chart (Column Combination - Dial Axis). On my x-axis I have "weeks" (1-40). In the initial view of the data source as well as in "edit query specification" I set the Dimension "week" "sort ascending". In the static view when I execute the application, the weeks are sorted 1 to 40 but when I filter my view (filter by city) then the weeks get mixed up. How can I have the weeks sorting ascending as fixed?

Hi,

We are currently developing a dashboard, and now when we use personalization, we get an error.

We can enable the personalization without any issues, however next time the dashboard loads we get an error.

The only way to get back into the dashboard is to delete the bookmark.

If I create a new raw application with personalization, it works fine.

Error:

The status of "QUERY_DATA_SOURCE" "SALES_ANALYSIS" may only change during command processing

We are using BO 4.2 SP3 and DS 1.6 SP3 (Had the same error on SP2).

Found an old discussion on SCN saying that it worked to set Merged Prompts to false, this is already the case in this app and I tried to change it just to be sure.

Any ideas?

Hello,

I'm trying to build a Crosstable with a Datasource that comes from a Calculation View from HANA but I have a problem when I try to show calculated columns with hierarchies.

This is an example:

If you see the image, you will see that I have an active Hierarchy called ID_CUENTA_A and two measures:

- IND_AA: which is a RAW measure and it shows values without problems

- VAR_REAL_AA_ACUM: which is a calculated column that calculates the difference in percentage from Actual year from Last Year (Actual-Last/Last). But the crosstab shows an ERROR value.

I've been searching the problem and I couldn't find any explanation. Could it be that Design Studio cannot cope with calculations with hierarchies? I couldn't find any SAP Note neither.

Thank you very much

Hi All,

I am using a list box to select multiple entries to change the values accordingly in the cross tab.

I am passing the values in the list box using the On Startup method, but the multiple selections doesn't work at run time. I have also enabled the Multiple selection option in the list box properties.

I have gone through the following articles:

Create a list box with multiple selection capabilities: Design Studio 1.2 - YouTube

Design Studio 1.5: View on Data Binding (for List)

Could anyone please suggest where this scenario is failing?

Thank you.

Hello expoerts,

I have my application developed on the BI Platform, using SAP Design Studio 1.6 SP2 and I was not able to make a planning application work.

When I try to set the Planning Connection to a BW system on the Application properties, I only have the OLAP connections available in the drop down box., and I couldn´t make it work using an OLAp connection.

If I export the application and inport it and execute it on Local mode, assigning a BW system in the Planning Connection, it works fine.

Has anybody tried to use Integrated Planning on an application on the the BI Platform? Could you please help me on the steps to make it work?

Thank you very much,

Anderson

I have a query that has a beginning and ending date range that I've setup with prompts.  I would like to fill these prompts with action script based on a cleaner popup window that I will present to the user.  Is this possible?  I've checked to see if prompts get mapped as global variables automatically but they don't seem to.

Maybe there is a better way to do this but it seems to me that setFilter only handles = and inlist operations not ranges or inequalities so I was trying to fill the prompt which does support those operations.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi all,

I have developped a dashboard using Design Studio client. At first, it was working fine. But after, I began to get the following error when I open the client to edit my dashboard: Error in triggering the event "apps.state_change" While processing the current request, an exception occured which could not be handled by the application or the framework.

I developped my dashboard with Design Studio 1.5, after we upgrade to 1.6 version, it was still fine for some time. After, I began to get this error. We upgrade to SP2 and problem was not solved. (We are using Design Studio 1.6 SP2 Version16.2.1 now)

Dashboard is working in local mode and also BI platform. The only problem is that I cannot edit anything.

I have tried some ways to edit it: 1)I create a copy of my dashboard with "Save as" but it was also unsuccessful. It still get the same error when I opened the copied version. 2) I create a new dashboard. I copied the datasouces and start up code first. It worked until here. Then, I copied the layout (grids, charts, tabs etc.) and I get the same error.

I search SCN for this error, I have found the following link: https://scn.sap.com/thread/3680874. It is said that upgrade has solved this issue. But my Design Studio version is higher than this posted solution.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello:

I am using SAP DesignStudio 1.6 SP2 against an SAP HANA Calculation View, which has a Hierarchy.

I oberve two very different behaviors, when trying to filter the Hierarchy in the inital view for an OLAP Connection versus an HTTP Connection in DesignStudio:

1. In short the OLAP Connection works fine, and I can filter the Hierarchy to display for example one particular LEAF and some nodes at a higher level, see:
   
2. Sadly, when using an HTTP Connection this does not seem work, instead it allows me to only filter on the LEAF level, which is as I must confess very, very unfortunate indeed, see:
   

My Question: Has an anybody come across this issue as well? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance.
