BPC 10.0 infoobject shows only key on BEx hierarchy node prompt. Need Text displayed.

[paulmitch25]

In the Development system for two infoobjects we have the 'Display' and 'BEx description set to 'Text' and 'Long Description' respectively in the 'Business Explorer' tab of the infoobjects. The BEx hiearchy node prompt shows text, which is what we want. We transported the infoobjects through to the Quality and Production environments using BPC transports, but the 'Business Explorer' tab is showing 'Key' and 'Short Description' in these systems, resulting only the key being visible on the BEx prompt.

I can't think of a setting in BPC which would affect the settings in the 'Business Explorer' tab and I don't know how it was set in the Development system.

If it were an ordinary BW infoobject, I could set the infoobject setting easily and transport it using a BW transport, but adjusting generated objects in BW and transporting them using BW would be more problematic. The same goes for changing the multiprovider settings for the infoobjects.

The infoobjects are both secured dimensions.

Screenshot can be helpful yo understand your issue... And detailed BPC version/SP info...

"Is there a way of changing the Business Explorer settings for the infoobject from BPC, not from BW?" - no way!

Thanks Vadim. It is good to know what is not possible sometimes so that I don't continue to spend time trying to get it to work.

Is there a way of changing the Business Explorer settings for the infoobject from BPC, not from BW? I agree with you, doing it in BW is not correct.

*setting the fields in BW is not good practice

[paulmitch25]

I want to do it from BPC because I know that setting the fields in BW is good practice.

Sorry, but I do not understand your statement...

[former_member186338]

Sorry, but if you are changing BPC objects on BW level then results are unpredictable! Not recommended approach!

**I don't know how I set the Business Explorer tab entries in Development. I can't remember going into the infoobject and saving them directly. I transported the infoobjects through to Production, but the Business Explorer settings in the Development system didn't get transported to Quality nor Production.

Hi Vadim,

BPC 10.0 CPMBPC 800 SP26 on BW 730 SP5.

I forgot to say that we are using WEBI on BEx (BOBJ 4.2 SP4) in this case for reporting

Here are 4 screenshots:

1) Infoobject in Development, Business Explorer tab with Text and Long Description for Display and BEx description

2) Infoobject in Quality, Business Explorer tab with Key and Short Description for Display and BEx description

3) WEBI prompt screen in Development for the Hierarchy node variable for the BPC infoobject showing text entries (which is what we want)

4) WEBI prompt screen in Quality for the Hierarchy node variable for the BPC infoobject showing Key entries (which is what we don't want)

In short, how do we set the Business Explorer tab entries for the infoobject from BPC so that we can see the prompt entries as text in WEBI?

I hope this is ok
