BEX User exit variables in WEBI

Hi Experts,
Need your help please.
I have a report in BEX with a user exit variable wich depends on other manual input variable.
In BEX it works properly but in WEBI it doesn't recognize the user exit variable.
It displays the error message: Not possible to determine the value for ZPD_YEAR_DAY variable
Error in DB. Error message is: failure to execute the query MDX SELECT { [Measures].[D9CS1W7FA8FEOHJ3T32H4QDZ4], [Measures].[D9DH9K1NITCZE4UY3J4UAETZ4], [Measures].[D9DH9K1NITDR2R6PF2KGCU88W], [Measures].[D9CS1W7FA8EMZV7CHJMV2AZPC], [Measures].[D9CS1W7FA8K0S7HNQBO5JARLS], [Measures].[D9CS1W7FA8G6D3UV4MI375S8W], [Measures].[D9CS1W7FA8HPQCIDRPDBC0KSG], [Measures].[D9CS1W7FA8IHEYU538SXEFZ28], [Measures].[D9DH28DWVF6742E64ZOL8FX34] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( { [0CALYEAR].[2010] } , { [0HAP_DOC_ID__ZAP_SUBST].[50], [0HAP_DOC_ID__ZAP_SUBST].[70] } ), [0INFOPROV].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZDATE_AT].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), { [ZCPM].[X] } ), [ZPROMOCAO].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZRESP_AVL__ZNIV_CARR].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZRESP_AVL].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZNIV_CARR].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0EMPLOYEE].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ) DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_NAME, MEMBER_CAPTION, [0EMPLOYEE].[20EMPLOYEE], [0EMPLOYEE].[40EMPLOYEE], [0HAP_DOC_ID__ZAP_SUBST].[20HAP_DOC_ID__ZAP_SUBST], [ZRESP_AVL].[2ZRESP_AVL] ON ROWS FROM [ZAVDP_M01/ZPD_GPS_VARIAVEL_002] with error: Not possible to determine the value for ZPD_YEAR_DAY variable.

This ZPD_YEAR_DAY variable is the user exit variable.

Hi!
I am following up to this post to see if there is something I am missing.
We have bex query with user exit variable and webi bi4sp04.4
In bex the user exit variable works correctly, in webi, it is ignored (the webi results are not filtered as they are in bex web results)
I have tried moving the variable to the char restrictions and removed ready for input - so there are now no prompts in bex query.
I have reviewed note 1611185 as well as other info on restrictions of BICS and webi, but cannot find a clear answer if bex user exit variables are supported in BI4 clients or not.

Default value of BeX customer Exit variable not Displayed in WeBI??

Hello Experts,
We are stuck with a problem where WeBI report is created on top of BeX query and we are not able to see the default value of Bex Customer exit variable in WeBI run. Here is the complete scenario:
1. One restricted KF is created in BeX, restricted with Customer exit variable on net Due date. And this variable is mandatory, ready for input, and Default value in calculated is user exit as current Week's Monday.
2. So, by default KF data should be restricted to Monday of current week, if user does not change this value.
3. Now, WeBI report is created on top of this Bex query, and all is working fine, i.e. we are getting variable as Prompt in WeBI, but Default value is not shown while Running the Webi Report.
So, need your inputs on the same, if default values from BeX in WeBI is supported or not? If yes, why this is happening, and how to resolve it?
Please notice, the restrcition is in KF only, it is not a separate restrcition on Net Due date in Filter area or in Defualt area of BeX
and we are on SAP BW 7.1 and BOXI 3.1 SP4.

Hi,
See 1285993 - Support of Customer Exit Variables from BEx query into WebIntelligence via OLAP universe
WebI will prompt when executed, but the default values calculated by the user exit - do not appear.
Note: If the BEx variable has property 'ready for input' set / enabled, then its WebI prompt shows ok, but no default value appears.
Cause
This behaviour expected 'by design' (in the context of the product's current limitations) as explained in the online guide below:
Please refer to Chapter 7, page 44, document link here: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf
Characteristic variable > processing type > Customer Exit is "Supported, without user entry"
--> This should be understood as meaning "User will not be shown a prompt"

User exit variable I_STEP=1 does not show default value WebI selection scr

Hello,
We have a BW query with a user exit variable. We have written user exit code under I_STEP = 1 so that the default value for the field is displayed on the selection screen to the user. Works very well on the BW side.
We based a universe on top of the query and then created a WebI report.
When the WebI report is executed the default value is NOT seen on the selection screen,
Note:
1. If the user exit variable is optional and we execute the report, the default value is NOT seen on the selection screen. However if the report is executed without entering any value for the field the logic under I_STEP = 1 is picked up and the report gets the correct output
1. If the user exit variable is mandatoryand we execute the report, the default value is NOT seen on the selection screen. The user now has to enter the value for the field.
The scheduled reports will work in case of optional user exit variable.
However this amounts to loss of functionality.
Is this a known bug?
Is there a way to display default values based on user exit variables on the WebI selection screen?
Kindly advice. Btw we are on XI 3.1 SP3

BI 7 Bex Query - User exit variables after variable screen re-processed

User exit variables are not re-calculated after the variable screen is called up to re-run report with a new selection. Is there some way to force the user exit variables to change? I am aware of note 1064273 but this doesn't seem to help in these circumstances.
Example:
My Bex Query uses OI_FYPER for a static characteristic selection and I have defined a customer exit formula variable which uses the values in OI_FYPER.
All works fine when the query is run first time but if the user calls up the variable screen to change the selection and re-run the query, the customer exit formula variable is not re-calculated (customer exit is called but only with ISTEP = 3).
Software version is NS2004S (BI 7.0) SPS10, BI ABAP SP11, BI JAVA SP10, BI Front End Package 1401 rel 354.

hi.. i just came to know about this in another thread..
I_STEP 3 does not have I_VNAM stored. So, to access values at I_STEP3 :

read table I_T_VAR_RANGE into L_RANGE with key VNAM = 'OI_FYPER'
if SY-SUBRC = 0.
...code as required...

User Exit Variable for Bex in CMOD (ABAP Code)

Hi Experts
My requirment is to develop a Restricted Keyfigure...
The restriction is based on 0Calmonth (Calendar Year/Month)
The sales from beginning of calendar year up to last "closed" month in a Calendar.
Ex: in June i want to see 01.01.2009 to 31.05.2009 data.
    in October i want to see 01.01.2009 to 30.09.2009 data.
When user execute the report
    in Jan 2010 i want to see 0 as there is no closed month in that particular year.
    in Fed 2010 i want to see 01.01.2010 to 31.01.2010 data.
For that purpose i need to create a User Exit variable in CMOD...
I am struggling to get an idea on how to write a code to meet the requirment
Please help me with code that i can use in cmod
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Use the following code :

month2 = sy-datum+4(2).
if month2 = '01'.
concatenate sy-datum+0(4) '01' '01' into l_s_range-low.
l_s_range-high = sy-datum.
else.
month2 = month2 - 1.

concatenate sy-datum+0(4) '01' '01' into l_s_range-low.
l_s_range-high = date_op.
endif.
APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
ENDIF.
I dint know what output do you want if the current month is jan.
I have put it as 1st jan till current date.
Modify it if you need.

Need help in creating a user exit variable

Hi all,
I have created a query in which a key figure needs to be automated with an user exit variable.I want to derive the value of this key figure 'x' based on calender month.
This key figure should get the cumulative value from the first month of the fiscal year till the calender year month entered while executing the query.
I got a basic understanding on the User exits from SDN. But Im not sure how to implement this logic.
I would really appreciate if you could provide me a detailed explanation of how to do this.
Thanks in advance,

User-Exit Variable

Hi, I created a simple user-exit variable and for some reason the variable seems to get executed around 16 times and then the query gives me the below error messages.   Any ideas why my variable would have I_STEP = 2 many times before it bombs out?
Note: This variable is based on a Virtual Characteristic I just implemented and is probably related. The query did not fail before trying to implement this user exit based on the Virtual Characteristic.

      IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
        W_L_S_RANGE-LOW = LT_REP-/BIC/ZSHTO_GRP.
      ELSE.
        W_L_S_RANGE-LOW = '???'.
      ENDIF.
      W_L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
      W_L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'BT'.
      APPEND W_L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
    ENDIF.
ENDCASE.

OK, It looks like because it is a Virtual Characteristic that the User Exit Variable Code will be called every time the "Virtual Characteristic" code is executed as well. The real problem seemed to be that I had used a BT in the Variable User Exit Range. Once I changed that to "EQ' it works fine now. Thanks

Exit Variables in web layout. Authority-check

Hi gurus!
i have a problem... i created a user-exit variable in my planning area that is filled by two variables
( low/high ).
In this user exit i check the values by authority-ckeck instruction. When i execute this on a planning folder it works rigth, the problem appears in web... the variable takes all the possible values!!! i'm turning mad!!! >:-I.
Do somebody have the solution?

Never use a user with 'SAP_ALL'.... this job is going to kill me.
Sorry for spend your time.

Objects in BEx User Exit ???

Hello all,
I have come across these in some sample codes. I am new to ABAP coding.
Can anyone please take some time and explain what these objects mean in the BEx User Exit. I dont know if they are just some objects or tables. What is the use of them?. I would really appreciate if anyone can answer atleast a few of the below. Some of these might be just some declarations made by the programmer whilst coding.
E_T_RANGE
L_S_RANGE
RSR_S_RANGESID
L_S_VAR_RANGE
RRRANGEEXIT
I_T_VAR_RANGE
LOC_VAR_RANGE
RESULT-SIGN
RESULT-OPT
RESULT-HIGH
RESULT-LOW
Thanks in advance

Passing messages from BW customer-exit variables to WebI

Hi
Is it possible to pass messages from a BW customer-exit variable to WebI?
We have a scenario where we have some validation done on a customer-exit variable, and under certain conditions a message should be returned to the user running the WebI report. Ideally, then report should stop executing at this time.
The ABAP is in place, and I can return an error message. If the query is run in RSRT / Web Template, the error message is correctly displayed and processing stops.
However, in WebI, if the error condition is met, a rather messy looking generic error message is displayed. In this case, the error number I've used in the ABAP is 000, which WebI then interprets as somthing to do with query dimensions could not be retrieved, or a null pointer exception.
I am not interested in the WebI error message that is being generated ... I know why it is being generated.
All I'd like to know is whether it is possible to pass an error message from within the customer exit code back to WebI.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Andrew

Hi,
I think that the problem is the User Exit is called anew for every query, so the global tables you declared will be empty for the query2.
One way to do this is create a table using the SE11 and populate it with the Variable from Query1, and use this data to populate the Variable2 of Query2.
Hope it helps.

Regards
Vishwanath

Hi Surendra,
Thanks for the reply and your suggestion. It will be great if you can help me to answer the below:
1) What exactly we mean by Control Query - Any example will be very helpful
2) As you mentioned, yes the user exist to be written will be for user-exit variable for dynamic period selection - An Example on how to create this will be helpful
3) Once the above variable is created, what are the steps to include this variable in the Bex Query?
4) Once all the queries to be used in dashboard are implemented with the exit variable, how to create a variant to be used in Broadcasting?
5) How and where to configure the email recipients (to whom this dashboard will be sent via mail)?
6) How to set up the BW broadcaster in BW 3.5 using the control query ?( My question is though we have to send the dashboard to the users, which has multiple queries, how a single control query with variant will help us).
Awaiting your reply.
Thanks and Regards
Vishwanath

User-Exit Variable Scenario

Hi,
I have a multiprovider M1 over two cubes C1 and C2. User reports on this Multiprovider M1.
C1 has keyfigure K1 which holds activity values for each Calendar Year Month.
C2 has keyfigure K2 which holds only Inception to Date values for each Calendar Year Month.
User needs a report which displays Activity values for both K1+K2 for each calendar year month(for the range he gives).
To calculate activity value per month for K2, we need to get Change in the Inception to Date values between current month and the prior month.
So, as per the user requirement, if for example we need activity for Jan 2006, the value he needs would be
K1(jan 2006) + K2(jan 2006 - dec 2005).
I created 2 user-exit variables V1 and V2 based on the characteristic Calendar Year Month having a variable V0(Interval, mandatory).
V1 takes the "low" value and V2 takes the "low + 1" value of V0.
In the columns panel of the BeX designer, I created a structure S1 which contains keyfigures K1(V1), K2(V1) and K2(V2). I made a formula, "K1(V1) + (K2(V2) - K2(V1))".
I put the calendar year month characteristic with variable V0 in the filters panel. Ran the query with a wide range 01/2004 to 12/2006. It gave me results for only first 1 month (01/2004).
I moved the calendar year month characteristic with variable V0 into the columns panel on the top of the structure S1. Ran the query with a wide range 01/2004 to 12/2006. It gave me results for only first two months (01/2004 and 02/2004). But, unfortunately either of K2(V1) or K2(V2) is blank for each month.
Anyways, I was able to successfully get what user wants by keeping V0 in filter panel, but could make it just for 1 month. But, I want this to be extended over all the months for the range user gives.
Can anyone suggest a good way to do this? Hope I did not confuse you with lot of information.
Thanks,
Sai.

Hi,
1.
Change V0 to single value (mandat.)
2.
Put restriction [V0-1; V012] (value restr. from V0-1 to V012) in filter panel for char Calendar Year Month.
3.
Define 13 Customer-Exit Variables:
V1 for -1 period () of time interval (from char. Calendar Year Month),
V2 for 1 period of time interval (from char. Calendar Year Month),
V13 for 12 period of time interval (from char. Calendar Year Month).
4.
Create 13 Selections (always hidden):
Sel1 for V1,
Sel2 for V2,
Sel13 for V13.
5.
Make 12 formulas. In every formula you can use
all of these 13 selections.
Yes, it is not a perfect solution, but hope it helps.
But Cell editor is a killer for perfomance

I_STEP=2 in Planning sequence and user exit variable

Hello!
I need some issue, help plz.
I have planning sequence with currency translation type fuction.
In this function Exch. rate type calculated from user-exit variable VAR_1 (for example).
This VAR_1 calculate from VAR_2 (ready for input) variable on I_STEP = 2.
In pure report all fine, i fill VAR_2 in variable screen and VAR_1 fill in exit.
But! In planning sequence (run from Excel) in I_STEP = 2 structure i_t_var_range is empty and my VAR_1 cannt be calculated.
I try any command and parameters in Bex - no result.
How can i calculate VAR_1? Or what i must do in order to get i_t_var_range on I_STEP 2 with VAR_1.
Thanks.
Anton.
BW SP 17(DEV) AND 19(QAS)

Hello Matthias!
I try all kind of binding, using command VAR_NAME and VAR_VALUE, without command etc.
But it seems like my user-exit variable start in different context and do not see other variable.
My planning sequence start working only when i insert condition for planning function and set VAR_2 here. After that VAR_1 calculate normally ( i_t_var_range on I_STEP 2 contain VAR_2). But i think all should be working without condition...i dont need condition.
Any idea?

Find out queries which contain user-exit variable

Hello.
I want to get a list of BEX queries, which contain my user-exit variable, defined in ZXRSRU01. Could anybody tell me how I can achieve this?

Hello, Konstantin.
You can use differnet methods to do this.
Method №1.
You can open one (any) query, that uses your variable in Metadata repository (active objects). If you don't know such query - you can create it.
In the description of your query you can find which variable is used by this query.
Open your variable.
There you can find all queries, that uses you variable.
Method №2.
Open SE11. Choose table RSZELTDIR.
Determine ELTUID of your variable (OBJVERS='A',MAPNAME=Variable ID).
Open SE11. Choose table RSZELTXREF.
Select ALL SELTUID with OBJVERS='A', TELTUID=ELTUID (see above), LAYTP=VAR
Open SE11. Choose table RSZELTDIR.
Select all MAPNAME with OBJVERS='A', ELTUID=lists of SELTUID (see above)
You can take texts from table RSZELTTXT.
Best regards,
Alexander Kuzmich

Difference between bex user exit and macros in functionality?

Hi all,
I need to create a report on material master data. I created an infoset on 0material and 0mat_plant. In the requirem
ent, I have a report containing different material numbers followed by attributes in each row. the final column in each
row should be calculated using logic. the logic involves comparing different row values and arrive at final conclusion.
the logic comprises of large number of if conditions. so should i use bex user exit or excel macros?
what is the difference between user exit and macros in funcitonalilty?
is there an issue transporting the macro to Prod for end users to use?
any performance criteria?
Any how to documents ..will be of a lot of help

Hi,
Macros offer a powerful and flexible way to extend the features of MS Excel. You can either create a macro using VB code or Record a macro. Use Alt+F11 for creating macro using VB code.
You can refer to Microsoft help site or this link for more details:
http://www.taltech.com/support/sw_tricks/exmacros.htm
User-exits are empty subroutines that SAP Developers have provided for you.You can fill them with your own source code.Technically this is a modification.Customer exits are nothing but a include in customer name space will be provided in the function module which starts with CALL CUSTOMER.You can fill them with your own source code.Technically this is an enhancement.
look into following links for procedure to find and use user-exits transaction for finding user-exits is 'SMOD'
