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

Initial selection screen missing when execting a query via web

Hello all.
We have a problem when we try to execute a query in web. We developped queries via query designer and we published all in a role. By doing it system generates a link that makes possible to execte this query via web. The issue is that sometimes the initial selection screen doesn´t appear (and the variables are "ready to input".
Could anybody help me?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Carmen Rodríguez,
In the WAD properties of the webtemplate.. carefully look for 'Force Variable Screen' Check that option..
Save and rerun the same.. it should be able to see the screen after that..

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.

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

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.

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.

How can i know which index will be used when executing the query ?

1 ) I have query in which i have 3-4 tables but there multiple index on one column .
so how can i know which index will be used when executing the query ?
2) I have a query which ia taking too much time . how can i know which table is taking too much time ?
3) Please Provide me some document of EXplain plan ?

Hi Jimmy,
Consider the below example
/* Formatted on 2011/02/04 21:59 (Formatter Plus v4.8.8) */
CREATE TABLE FIRST AS
SELECT * FROM all_objects;
UPDATE FIRST
SET object_name = 'TEST'
WHERE owner != 'SCOTT';
CREATE INDEX idx_first ON FIRST(object_name);
SELECT *
FROM FIRST
WHERE object_name = 'TEST';
It has not used index
Execution Plan
Plan hash value: 2265626682
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 58678 | 7334K| 163 (4)| 00:00:02 |
|* 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| FIRST | 58678 | 7334K| 163 (4)| 00:00:02 |
/* Formatted on 2011/02/04 21:59 (Formatter Plus v4.8.8) */
SELECT *
FROM FIRST
WHERE object_name = 'emp';
This has used the index
Execution Plan
Plan hash value: 1184810458
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 128 | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
| 1 | TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID| FIRST | 1 | 128 | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
|* 2 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | IDX_FIRST | 1 | | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
From this we can come to the conclusion that, whether to use one index or not by oracle
would also depend on the data which is present in the table. This has to be this way as
we see in the bind peeking, if oracle sticks to only one plan, say only use the full table
scan, it would be a performance hit when it searches for the second query ie where object_name
='emp';
2.
If we have a query like below.
select * from emp
where upper(ename) = upper(:p_ename);
Evenif we have the index on ename column, oracle wouldn't be able to use the index, as there is a function in the predicate column. If you need oracle to use the index, we need to create a function based index as below.
Create index idx_ename on emp(upper(ename));

Screen Saver does not use selected Screen Saver when activated

Screen Saver does not use selected Screen Saver when activated. After "Start screen saver" elapse time has been reached, a blank black full screen is displayed. I can activate the selected screen saver by using the hot corners function. Any help with this matter will be greatfully received.

Hi again sassey,
You're assuming correctly. Simply change the settings so that your screen saver activates before the sleep settings.
Hope this solves your problem...

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.
Thanks & Regards,

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

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
