Filter value for variable selection screen

Hi & help !,
This could be a tricky or an easy question, but it seems too hard for me !
I'm storing version in my cube, and have a report which shows informations for the version you select (with a variable = ZVERSION01).
ex : Version :
V01
V02
V03
V04
When report is executed i have my variable selection screen (for variable ZVERSION01) which give all version [V01 -> V04]. But i want users have no access to version V01 & V02.
Variable ZVERSION01 is "single selection", i tried to filter with Default Values screen or Characteristic Restriction screen but it doesn't work.
ex : caracterisitic restriction screen : VERSION = !V01 / !V02
default value screen : variable VERSION = ZVERSION01
Any idea?
Thx

Hi,
In BI 7.0 there is Anaylysis authorisation RSECADMIN transaction. That you can use here or normal role concept will also do.
What you need to do is grant authorisation to the users for V03 and 04 version only and create 'Authorisation' type variable on version in the query. (type of variable - it asks while creating the variable). This way users will only be able to see authorised versions only.
Note you have to make version infoobject as Authorisation relevent infoobject. ( in infoobject properties).
Let me knw if you have any doubt.

# value in Variable Selection screen

Hello,
Can you please help with the below:
How do we remove # (Not Assigned) value from Variable selection screen. When I select PLANT in one of the report, I see # value. But there are no empty values in the cube. So, I am not sure as why I am getting this # value in Selection Screen. The seeting in Web designer for READ MODE is "Posted Values" and not "Master data or Dimension Table".
Thanks.

have you checked what Bex properties are set in the Info Object for "Query Def. Filter Value S"
Select Values from Info provider.
that might solve your problem. But ensure you're not disturbing anything else by changing this property.

Scrap Values in Variable Selection Screen

Hi,
When the end user is trying to select a filter value for the characteristic in a workbook, the selection value screen displays a lot of scrap values, when he closes the selection screen and tries again to select a filter value then it displays the correct values. Can anyone please let me know how i can avoid the scrap values to be displayed or how i can remove the scrap values that are displayed.
Thanks,
AM

Hi,
Your Master data values might contain the junk values. That is the reason showing junk values in variable screen.
At filter value selection you might have in the option 'Only Posted values for Navigation' option in InfoObject Properties->Business Explorer Properties.

Limit list of values in variable selection screen

Hi
Apologies if this has been asked / answered elsewhere, but I thought I would put it out there, at least while I continue trying to find a solution.
We have a requirement to limit the data from which a user is allowed to select values in the variable selection screen. I know how to write the ABAP code that will return the list of data from which the user can choose, but not sure how to implement that in the query variable.
Essentially, the BEx query needs an input on username, and the current user should be able to choose from a list of usernames. That list of usernames should only be usernames to which the current user has access.
Don't worry about the linking of current user to user names, that is taken care of in our DSO.
What I am after, is limiting the data that comes back when the "F4 Help" type button is pressed on the variable screen.
I can default a value in the customer exit variable using ABAP code in the i_step = 1 loop, but that doesn't seem to effect the list of data available for selection.
Any decent ideas?
Cheers,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
As charlie suggested go for Analysis authorization that is the simplest approach to restrict values for any object, in another way you can use following BADI for value restriction using ABAP code, refer the below link.
[http://www.consolut.com/en/s/sap-ides-access/d/s/doc/YY-BW_BADI_F4]
By using customer exit you can only populate default values but you will not be able to restrict F4 help values.

How to supress value '#' in variable selection screen?

Hi gurus,
i wonder if there is any solution for this question:
Before query execution, when system requests variable values, in the list of available values for filtering 0calyear, allways apears value '#' and the rest of values loaded in the infocube.
0calyear is defined as "Only values in infoprovider", and there isn't any blank value ('#') in the dataprovider. I also have executed RSRV tests for deleting unused values in dimension table.
Regards
As allways I'll assign points

So, as I read, there is no way to remove this "# value" from selection list in variable screen, unless i delete this initial entry in p-table. I've tried to delete this entry (vía debug) and its OK, the # value is no more displayed. But I think that it could be dangerous, couldn't it? Anybody know what could happen if i delete this P-entrys in some infobjects?
My question is only about variable input screen, not the results displayed (i knew that you can exclude this value in query definition).

Dear Venkat.
You please try the following steps:

2. Goto RSA1-> InfoObject tab-> Select InfoObject 0EMPLOYEE.
3. Selcet the following options:
Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn - 'Only Posted Value for Navigation'
Filter Value Repr. At Query Exec. - 'Selector Box Without Values'
Please let me know if there is any more issue. Feel free to raise further concern

in the intialization event.
INTIALIZATION.
s_yywrpc-low = 'MSPG'.
s_yywrpc-sign = 'I'.
s_yywrpc-option = 'EQ'.
append s_yywrpc.
s_yywrpc-low = 'MSP'.
append s_yywrpc.
do it all for the values.

Default Value for a selection screen field

Hi Experts,
I am having a selection screen with a date field i am defaulting the date field to sy-datum but i also have a option of changing the date field value.
The issue is i have defaulted the date field value in PBO event,so when i change my field value in selection screen every time the defaulted value is appearing instead of my new changed value.
Plzz suggest a solution.

Hi ,
       Actualy u should set the default value at the time of selection screen, but now from the same logic try to write like
   If Date is initial.

Try this.

Report is by defualt picking up short text for variable selection screen.

Hi all,
Reports(WAD/BEX) by default pciks short text of the master data , i want it to pick long text ; any idea ?
Thanks ,
Madhav

Hi Madhav,
The BEx query setting made in infoobject can be overwritten by the settings made in the query .
You need to select Long Text in the query for that characteristic.
This setting will overwrite whatever is made in the info object level and so make will diplay the long text.
Hope it helps:)

Need to skip the variable selection screen when using dropdown

Hello Friends,
I have created a web template having a dropdown, a table and a text element. Basically I am trying to follow the guide "How to Use a Dropdown Box to Set Variable Values". It shows how to select values for a variable using dropdown.
NOTE: The guide can be found here:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2642ab90-0201-0010-9193-d59de66cbab4
What is happening is when I select a value for the variable in the dropdown, the correct url is getting formed but instead of displaying the report using the selected value, the variable selection screen appears. Given below is the url that gets formed:
http://abcdev.wdf.sap-ag.de:8000/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=E&PAGENO=1&REQUEST_NO=3&CMD=PROCESS_VARIABLES&SUBCMD=VAR_SUBMIT&VAR_NAME_1=TSTPEROD&VAR_VALUE_EXT_1=04.2007
Please assist me to get rid of the variable selection screen. Thanks!
Regards,
Prem.

Hello Ray,
Thanks for your reply. This has partially resovled the issue. I have awarded you points for that. Now I am able to skip the variable screen.
However, the query results are not getting refreshed. I wanted to restirct the values based on the value given in the variable selection (In my case the dropdown box). Somehow I am not able to link the dropdown with the variable or the "SAPBWOpenURL(url);" function is having some issues.
Please assist. Thanks!
Regards,
Prem.

Copy 'Favorites' in 'Select Values for Variables' screen

I need to copy a list that I created as a 'Favorite' in the 'Select Values for Variables' screen for Customer to all the other userids so that everyone is using the same list of customers. Can someone tell me the table(s) where these values are stored? Is there a function module or program available that copies 'Favorites'.
It would be nice if you could select if the 'Favorites' you create can be 'Global'.
Thanks.

the variant values are stored in RSRPARAMETRIZA. the field content stores in XML format. you can write an ABAP program to read and update it.

Enabling Key and text for the Variable Selection screen

I need to display key and text for a characteristic when selecting the drop down menu in the variable selection screen of a web report. In the Business Explorer tab within the info-object, I changed the General Settings to display Key and text, but when I open the drop down menu for this characteristic, it is still displaying the key only. Is there some other place where this change needs to happen?

Did you try to log out and log in again into BEx?

NW04s(SP7/FEP7)-Select Filter value for HIER in 3.XBexAnalyzer doesn't work

Hi,
We went live with SPS 7/FEP 7 and we are having problem in 3.X Bex Analyzer with "Select Filter Value" for charcteristic having active hierarchy(in this case it is using time dependent hierarchy). (For Eg: Organization Unit)
If I inactivate the hierarchy for organization unit at query level and then execute the query, then "select filter value" works for Organization Unit.
NOTE: I checked other query using hierarchy (not time dependent hierarchy) and I was able to do "select filter value"
Please let me know if any OSS note is available for this issue so that we can fix this issue in our Production Environment.
NOTE: The above issue works in SPS 8/FEP 802 with 3.X Bex Analyzer.
Thankyou,
-Sini

Hi,
Did you have an asnwer to your problem?
We've a similar problem we had a technical upgrade to BI 7.0. But we still work with the frond end tools of 3.5.
When we select in the Bex analyzer a node in an hierarchy it shows the result, but if want to select an other node we must first remove the old filter. This wasn't when we're on the 3.5 enviroment.
Maybe if the problem is solved, this can help us.
Thanks in advance!

Could not determine value for variable 0P_FVAEX (or 0P_CTPCA)

I get the below error while accessing a query on the planning Info Cube. I used the SAP Exit variable Most Current Data (Transactional InfoCube) (0S_RQTRA) in the query for the Characteristic - Request ID (0REQUID) to extract the data from the yellow request too.
I do not use the below variables as in the below eror in my query at all. Please assist.
Diagnosis
This error diagnosis is specific only to the variables 0P_FVAEX or 0P_CTPCA !
Termination message BRAIN 632 appears:
Could not determine value for variable 0P_FVAEX (or 0P_CTPCA).
System Response
1. Operation method of SAP-Exit-Variables 0P_FVAEX or 0P_CTPCA
With queries from the CO application, both SAP-Exit-Variables look for an entry for 'controlling area'. With this controlling area from the selection screen, the SAP-Exit-Variables program reads the attributes for InfoObject 0CO_AREA (controlling area).
With queries from the FI application, the SAP Exit Variable 0P_FVAEX looks for an entry for 'company code'. With this company code from the selection screen, the SAP Exit Variables program reads the attributes for InfoObject 0COMP_CODE (Company Code).
0P_FVAEX determines the fiscal year variant (attribute 0FISCVARNT) from the attributes for 0CO_AREA (CO queries) or 0COMP_CODE (FI queries). 0P_CTPCA determines the currency type of the profit center local currency (attribute 0CURTP_PCA) from the attributes for 0CO_AREA.

Hello,
you need to take a closer look at your query. Somewhere you used one of the 0P_* exit variables, which work only for controlling related InfoCubes. Use your own variables.
