BEX Selection Screen Authorisations

Hi all,
I have developed a new authorisation role for a demand planner in APO. Part of its function is to allow the user to run a BEX report on a remote cube. This is working, apart from the selection screen when running the BEX query does not appear. This is NOT due to personalisation of variables.
When I grant the same user the SAP_ALL profile, the selection screen appears when repeating this test. I have ran traces and gone through the SAP_ALL profile and ensured that every BW object I could see existed in my new role.
Sadly I have not reached an answer as to what is missing in my role. Any ideas?
I appreciate any help you can give on this matter.
Kind regards,
Nick

Hi Ravi,
There is one characteristic in the query that I've made authorisation relevant, 'Sales Org'. I have added the associated authorisation object to the role and as a test I've also given full access to this object in PFCG. This is why I would still expect it to prompt me with a selection screen.
Sadly this is not the case. Do you have any other ideas? I do believe it is to do with at least 1 other SAP standard authorisation object, I just can't find which one it is.
Thanks, Nick

Change of variable text in BEx selection screen

Hi all,
in our BW system the key users are allowed to create queries and also create variables. In some cases, especially for often used info objects like 0DATE the number of variables is increasing very quickly. The reason for this is, that 0DATE is used for a big variety of meanings e.g. delivery date, order date, invoice date etc.
So the users always create new variables only to have a meaningful description in the BEx selection screen, because they do not want only "date" to be displayed here. As result we have many different varianbles with exactly the same technical settings with only different names.
So my question is: Is it possible to change the diplayed text in the selection screen for each query without having to create a new variable?
Thanek you and best regards

Hi Stephan,
Changing the diplayed text in the selection screen for each query is not possible.You have to create a new variable for each query.

'Text' of a variable in Bex selection screen

Hello,
We have a customer exit variable in Bex Query selection.it is mandatory,ready for input,interval which is on 0CALMONTH2.
In Bex selection screen i am not getting text of default/entered months.
for example: if default value is 2 to 4,then text would be FEB to APR.
what could be the reason?how to get teaxts of entered values?
(we have one more customer exit variable on 0CALMONTH2 which is single value and it shows text of enterd values in bex selection)
In web it is working fine.
Rakesh

Hi,
Try to create an another customer exit variable for 0CALMONTH2 with mandatory,ready for input,interval. refer the abap code of the another customer exit variable(single value variable) of 0CALMONTH2 which you have mentioned in the bracket and modify the abap code based on the selection - interval. hope it helps.

BEx Selection screen Hierarchy display (text - key)

Hi,
We have a new query deployed that uses several hierarchies in the selection screen.
When running the reports, the drop down for the hierarchies on the variable selection screen displays the full text.
However, the users are more familiar with the key value and would prefer to see that. In the actual report, the keys are displayed.
I am trying to find where the default display can be set for the hierarchies on the BEx selection screen so I can show the key values?
Thanks!
Darryl

Create a FM like below and a wrapper for it so you can call it as part of process chain; we load all of our hierarchies then call this:
FUNCTION ZBW_CHANGE_HIER_DISPLAYNAME.
""Local Interface:
*" EXPORTING
*"     VALUE(RETURN) TYPE BAPIRET2
data: hieid(25) type c,
        hienm(30) type c,
        lgtxt(60) type c.
RETURN-TYPE = 'I'.
RETURN-ID = '01'.
Select each hierarchy from list table
select nhieid nhienm t~txtmd
into (hieid, hienm, lgtxt)
from rshiedir as n
join rshiedirt as t
on nhieid = thieid
where n~objvers = 'A'
and   t~objvers = 'A'.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
    concatenate Key and Text
      concatenate hienm '-' lgtxt into lgtxt SEPARATED BY space.
    update table with new description
      update rshiedirt
      set TXTLG = lgtxt
      where langu = 'E'
      and hieid   = hieid
      and objvers = 'A'.
      if sy-subrc = 0.
        RETURN-NUMBER = '001'.
        RETURN-MESSAGE = 'Successfully updated Hierarchy Descriptions.'.
      else.
        RETURN-NUMBER = '002'.
        RETURN-MESSAGE = 'Error when updating Hierarchy Descriptions.'.
      endif.
    else.
      RETURN-NUMBER = '003'.
      RETURN-MESSAGE = 'Error when selecting Hierarchy Descriptions.'.
    endif.
endselect.

BEX Selection screen in an endless loop when pressing the Check button

Hello SDN
Has anyone faced this issue before where the BEX selection screen seems to get its knickers in a twist and goes into an endless loopp when the Check button is clicked? It goes through fine if I directly hit execute.
Anyone ? Any ideas ?

Never seen it before but here is something to check..
Does the query have a variable with processing type of customer exit. If yes, look at the user exit code in step 3 which is used for input value validation.

Display compounded InfoObject value in BEX selection screen

Hi people,
Problem in 7.0
I have Costcenter compounded with Plant and I am using Costcenter for Selections in the BEx varaible screen.
After running the report, in the selection screen value help, only the value of Costcenter is displayed, not the compounded value (So it becomes very difficult to identify from which plant the costcenter is from)
What should I do so that the User sees as Plant/Costcenter in the Value help?
Problem in 3.5
The above issue is not there in 3.5, but.......
I select COSTCENTER X from PLANT A and execute the report. In the report output, I do not see the records only for COSTCENTER X from PLANT A, but for COSTCENTER X from all Plants
why is this? Is it how this works or is it a bug?
Please help. I appreciate your assistance very much.
Thanks,
Shameem

Issue with BEx selection screen

Hi Gurus,
We recently upgraded from BW 3.5 to 7.0. After the upgrade, while running the BEx queries the selection screen is not popping up and the query runs without the selections in it. Then the report errors out.... " Error Specify a value for variable XXXX".
Apparently, the query runs fine with selection when executed on WEB.
Did anyone of you come across with this issue..
Thanks
James.

Hi Guys
Run your query without the variable ,Try by removing the restrcition , if it is working fine without the variable then
I would suggest to check your variable once again like
      Check if 'Ready for input' check is checked for the respective variable,
       Remove the restriction ( drag out the variable )
      check your variable once again with all the setting and variable type
OR create a new varilable, if it is a customer exit type then check ABAP code written for populating values.
let me know if this helps,
cheers

BEX :Selection screen missing when executing a query

Hi all,
When I am executing a query through BEX Analyzer,I am not getting the Selection Screen Popup.Instead ,the report is directly being generated.So,this is giving rise to various problems.But when the user is executing through portal,he is getting the selection screen.
I am not getting this Selection screen popup in all the DEv,Quality,PreProd and Production systems.And hence ,i am not able to give the selections for a report
Can anyone please provide a solution for this?
Awaiting your response.
Thanks,
Amar

Hi,
Our GUI version is 710 and 640 is recommended by the client.Hence, no problem with that.The user is able to execute more than one query.
Do u think it is a basis or security related issue.Or is it due to Application of some GUI Patches.
Thanks,
Amar

Collect Bex selection screen in BAPI

Hi all,
I have created a Bex Query in BI7.4, and i want to load a virtual key figure. To do that i have created a Bapi based on my multiprovider. For the moment all is ok.
In the selection screen of my query i have a calmonth selection (from -> to).
And in my bapi the load of my virtual KF depends of the calmonth enter in the selection screen, but i do not know how to collect the entered calmonth.
I have declared all attributes, updated the define and compute method but anywhere i found the calconth of the selection screen.
Is it possible to collect that in a BAPI?
Thanks a lot,
BR,
Karol

Hi,
Thanks Srilakshmi for your answer.
But it is not as easier as you said.
In my report I need to display in the first column the material number and in a second column the max stock quantity depending the period enter in the selection screen.
So in my BAPI, I need to loop in my DSO (where are store the daily stock quantity) to find the max quantity for the period (from -> to) enter by the user.
Example, if the user enter 01.2013 -> 03.2013, I must display the max stock quantity between the 01.01.13 to the 31.03.13 and if , the user enter 01.2013 -> 12.2013, I must display the max stock quantity between the 01.01.13 to the 31.12.13.
I think that it is not possible with a RKF. What do you think about that, is it possible?
So a would like to collect the calmonth enter by that user in my “where” clause of my loop in the bapi.
Thanks a lot for your help.
BR,

Bex Selection screen dont show up

Dear Guru's
We have recently upgraded from 3.1 to 7.0 and now we are facing a problem.
In our Test (Quality) System, i have created a Query and when i run this Query in BEx analyzer i can see the Selection screen.
Now i created a new user which is a copy of my USERID (with SAP_ALL role in it), After logging into BEX with this new userid, if i run the same Query i cannot see the Selection screen.
I don't understand this problem, none of the variable's are personalized,
I hope you understand the issue..
Thanks in advance,
Dev

Bex selection screen does not appear when running workbook via RRMX.

Hi Experts,
I have following problem: When I run a BEx workbook from a user menu (trans. RRMX), I get no selection screen, but just the workbook with text: "no data found". When I press the refresh button (variable change button), the selection screen appears and after that the data are visible in the workbook. When I run the underlying query the selection screen appears normally. With some other workbooks with selections I do not have such a problem.
Anybody can give me a hint how to get the selection screen diplayed? We are on BI 7.1, Bex SP 10, patch 1.
Thank you,
Michal

Dear Michal,
Your Question:
Anybody can give me a hint how to get the selection screen diplayed? We are on BI 7.1, Bex SP 10, patch 1.
Answer:
Open the workbook and goto workbook setting from the analyzer design toolbar.
Check the Refresh workbook on check box.
So every time the selection screen will be appear after exectuion of the workbook.

Customer exits for varibles in BeX selection screen

Dear All,
I have two fields in BeX variable screen - 'Emp_id' and 'Dep_id'.
The entry for 'Emp_id' is mandatory. But at the same time, if someone does not enter values for it, it should ask for 'Dep_id' atleast. If both are blank, then no execution.
In short, if both fields are blank then don't run the report. If one of them has a value, then run the report.
I know that for this case of mine, customer exit is the only way.
Can anybody please write me the exact syntax of the exit as I am least aware of writing the exits. Thanking you all.
Points will be assigned.
Thanks,
Srinivas

Bex selection screen field input

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement . The selection screen has plant (single value). If user enters plant value greater than (Ex. 2001) it should throw an error message . if the user doesnt enter any values in that field. Then it has to choose all the plant values !!
please guidance needed
thanks
satish

sathish,
make the variable optional and then if the user does not select anything then all values will be selected.
As for the first part - if the value does not exist - then the output will be # - not sure if an error message can be handled that way - you would have to write an exit for the same and include it in the query with i_step=2 and raise an exception.

Date formats in BEx selection screen

Can we set date formats to use the European format as a default (by person) in Bex? I don't see varialbes taht are set-up this way.

Hi laja,
BEx date format is based on the global settings made on each indiviual PC user.
to change the default USA date format in BEx to your required format,
Go to > Control Panel > Regional and Language options > customize (or) select your country from the list.
