Process for implementing Virtual Char / Keyfigures:

Business Scenarios:

1. Populate a release date value for a given combination of data selected from two different data streams.

a. Data stream1 for the given selection has the release date characteristicb. Data stream2 for the given selection or for any other selection doesn’t

have release date characteristic2. Populate the value for a keyfigure based on the G/L Account value within the

query output

Phase A (Addresses Business Scenario 1 for virtual char implementation):

Cube A has the release date characteristic and is loaded via a flat file.

Cube B does not have the release date characteristic and would need maximum value of the data coming through for a given combination of characteristics.

Step 1: Add the characteristic to Cube B and set the transformation or update rules mapping to initial value with no update happening to the field. The characteristic is added to the cube only to have it in the structure for reporting purposes (To drag it over in the query).

Step 2: Create a DSO and load the data from the flat file which actually has the data to get the combination of Characteristic A and Characteristic B as Key fields of DSO and the date value to be maximum in the aggregation definition of the keyfigure (date).

By doing so, the DSO will contain the unique combination of Characteristic A and Characteristic B with the maximum value of release date available for reference.

Step 3: Update MultiProvider with identification of the release date characteristic from the related cuhes (Cube A and Cube B).

Phase B (Addresses Business Scenario 2 for virtual keyfigure implementation):

Step 1: Add the keyfigure to the Cube in consideration and similar to the step1 above no update needs to happen within the transformation or update rules.

Step 2: Identify the keyfigure in the concerned MultiProvider for reporting purpose.

Step 3: Need to use this keyfigure in the queries to trigger the code in BadI.

The rest of the steps are going to be common for both the phases.

Step 4: Go to transaction code SE18 and select the option “BAdI Name” and enter the BAdI name as “RSR_OLAP_BADI” and click on display button.

Step 5: In the next screen go to menu and click on “Implementation” and then select the option “Create” if a previously implemented option/filter does not exist.

If it does exist, select “Change” option accordingly.

If you click on “Create”, a new screen opens up asking you to enter the name of the implementation for the original BadI “RSR_OLAP_BADI”.

Name the BadI as “ZVAR_IMPL” (BADI for Virtual Char & KYFG’s implementation) and in the next screen define the filter as “Z*” as shown in the screenshot below by clicking on the insert row button in the screen:

Step 6: Now click on the tab “Interface” and you can define the name of the implementing class as “ZCL_IM_VAR_IMPL” as shown in the screenshot below:

Double click on the implementation class and you can see the default methods available in the screen for

DEFINEINITIALIZECOMPUTE

Each of this default methods have parameters which can be leveraged for filtering and other data processing.

Before going into parameters / attributes available for methods, we will look into the actual definition of the class ZCL_IM_VAR_IMPL,

In the above screenshot the attributes are added as per the requirement, in the first scenario of virtual char implementation the attributes to be added would be:

P_CHA_0ME_MED_ISSP_CHA_SP_TERRTYP_CHA_SPRELDATE

In the second scenario of virtual keyfigure implementation the attributes added are:

P_CHA_0CHRT_ACCTSP_CHA_0GL_ACCOUNTP_KYF_0QUANTITYP_KYF_SP_VR_QTY

Now, parameters for the method DEFINE are:

FLT_VAL Value of the MultiProvider for which the BadI is to be executed. We can use this as a case scenario and have different coding functionality within the Method based on the MultiProvider name.

I_S_RKB1D Has list of components other than MultiProvider for filtering if required. The possible columns which can be used for filtering are:

I_TH_CHANM_USED is of the type RRKE_TH_CHANM which in turn maps to the table RSDCHA for looking up the characteristic existence in the system.

I_TH_KYFNM_USED is of the type RRKE_TH_KYFNM which in turn maps to the table RSDKYF for looking up the keyfigure existence in the system.

C_T_CHANM and C_T_KYFNM are the characteristic and keyfigure tables respectively which would be updated by the list of characteristics and keyfigures required for the derivation or calculation of the virtual fields for reporting.

Now parameters for the method INITIALIZE are:

FLT_VAL Same as the one for Define mentioned above.

I_S_RKB1D Same as the one for Define mentioned above.

I_TH_SFC Would be the internal table which will have all the values from the C_T_CHANM.

I_TH_SFK Would be the internal table which will have the values from the C_T_KYFNM table.

I_S_DATA This would be the table in which the position of the fields to be updated along with other data is being determined.

Now parameters for the method COMPUTE are:

FLT_VAL Same as the one for Define mentioned above.

I_PARTCUBE This would be the partial cube within the MultiProvider if the filtering has to be cube specific within the MultiProvider.

I_S_RKB1D This would be similar to the one mentioned in Define and Initialize sections.

I_NCUM Is an indicator for Non Cumulative calculation for query design.

C_S_DATA Is the final data set for the query output.

Other than the basic methods available in the class, additional methods have been implemented to attain the functionality w.r.to virtual chars/keyfigures.

The following are the custom methods implemented for the class:

1. CONSTRUCTOR - Constructor2. GET_FIELD_POSITION_D3. DEF_CHECK_CHA4. DEF_CHECK_KYF5. DEF_ADD_CHA6. DEF_ADD_KYF

The source code for the standard methods and the custom method will be provided in the later part of this document.

First, we will be looking into the parameters of the custom methods which have been implemented:

Parameters of CONSTRUCTOR method:

None.

Parameters of GET_FIELD_POSITION_D method:

I_FIELDNM It uses the P_CHA and the actual characteristic or P_KYF and the keyfigure to populate the concatenated attribute for later use in the COMPUTE method and also for position generation.I_S_DATA internal table to hold the characteristics and keyfigures defined in the section.R_POSITION Position of the fields w.r.to the usage of the method

Parameters of DEF_CHECK_CHA:

CHATAB Table to be referenced for looking up the characteristic

CHA_NAME Name of the characteristic to be looked upFLAG Flag value set either to X or blank which is later used in Define method

Parameters of DEF_CHECK_KYF:

KYFTAB Table to be referenced for looking up the keyfigureKYF_NAME Name of the keyfigure to be looked upFLAG Flag value set either to X or blank which is later used in Define method

Parameters of DEF_ADD_CHA:

CHA_NAME Character name to be added to the listREADONLY Is it read only or is it the one to be updatedCHATAB Characteristic list of the InfoObjects to be referred

Parameters of DEF_ADD_KYF:

KYF_NAME Keyfigure name to be added to the listKYFTAB Keyfigure list of the InfoObjects to be referred
