BW-IP:free text can enter by Analyzer but can't do it in Analysis Office

[Former Member]

Hi Experts

I created a characteristic without master data and text. Which is used for record comments during planning. I can write free text into this characteristic by BEx Analyzer. But I can't do this in AO. AO not allowed input a record which not exist in master data into characteristic.

I did searched a lot on SCN for work around this issue. Set Characteristic as Key Figure might solve my problem but I am using BW7.0. Which still not support this feature. Does anyone has any other solution on this?

Thanks

Hi Venkata

Thanks for your quick reply. I checked this method. Like I mentioned I'm using BW7.0. It still not support "Characteristic as Key Figure" in DSO. So I'm afraid this way is not gonna work.

Hi Andy,

all BW front end tools using BI Java (Web Templates, Analysis Office, Design Studio) don't support to create new master data values for InfoObjects without master data table in new lines. As you observed, BEx Analyzer supports this since 7.0.

This feature was implemented in higher releases, cf. note 2132523 for more details. In BW 7.0x this feature is not available.

Hi Dominik

Thanks. I checked this method already. But client demand doing the IP on AO, which does not support the custom component created in WAD by this method.

There might be no solution for current BW version.
