Hello Gurus
We recently upgraded our system to 7.4 SP09 mostly to use XXL attribute technology. However, we are not yet able to use it in report.
Below are the steps i followed ::
- I marked my characteristic as "Supports XXL Attributes" (ZCHAR)
- I created a new XXL Characteristic (ZXXL)
- I added ZXXL to XXL Attributes tab of ZCHAR
- Saved and activated ZCHAR and used it in a cube.
Now what i expect is, either to be able to see ZCHAR in Navigational Attributes part of cube, or display it in query as Display Attribute.
But both is not possible, so i can not use this ZXXL field in my query in any way.
Can you please tell me if i am missing something?
Thanks
Hello again
If no one could do it yet, it might be a problem with product. I will raise a ticket to SAP and keep here updated.

Hi Sathish,
I guess the XXL attribute is not used in current BW cube and BW report but further explain the master data value in table start with /BIC/C. This has better explanation than text attribute which can contains various format if you use the Data type RSTR:
If you use the Data type STRG, you can input several lines description to explain the characteristic values:
So, I think these properties are not easy to do the navigation or show in the query result with transaction data.

Hello all
I raised a ticket to SAP, explaining the case. However, they said this is not a support issue, but a consultancy one and they can not help.
Sadly, we are not able to use this functionality, and there is no document explaining how.
I will not close the topic, hoping that someone will come up with a solution.
Thanks for your contributions till now
Regards
Hi,
The relevant developers said so far not possible to use XXL in a query because no front
end functions available for it yet. XXL can use in HAP.

Hi Giselle
I want to be able to display a text as attribute of an object.
This is nothing than an explanation, that is longer as 1000 chars.
I am able to add XXL Attribute and fill attributes with texts. However it is not possible to display this in report in any way (that i have found)
By the way, i know it is possible to add X-long Text and it is reportable, but it is not good for our reporting needs.
Thanks for any kind of knowledge or idea..
Hi Satish,
Actually it is not so different of display attribute from long text... Maybe you want to show the short text and then only additionally show the long text sometimes when needed. In that case, can you think of create another characteristic B the same as original A? Then put both A and B into query. They have same value. In normal case only A with short text show. When needed, also drill down B which display long text?
Sathish,
SAP recommendable to keep attributes of main info object as display until user specifically request for it. System default for attributes is display until you change it to navigational
