Javascript:SAPBW in BEx WAD

Hello all,
My current task deals with geo-maps in SAP BW: When you click on a country on the map a new URL should be created and the country should be displayed in a new window using this URL-information. The URL requires the country abbreviation (such as DE for Germany). In the status line I can see javascript: SAPBW(4,“,“,DE) – where DE is Germany. The system create the new window. However, the URL for this window is not what I require (you do not see the country in the window). So I want to override the URL-information with the one I need.
Question: How can I dynamically determine the country abbreviation in SAP BEx WAD with the help of Javascript? My intention is to use this to overide the existing URL in the new window.
Thanks a lot for any helpful comments!
Anna

is completed.

  • Difference between Bex Analyzer and Bex WAD

    Hi Every one,
    I am pretty new to SAP, and working on SAP BW Front end.
    I am pretty aware of Bex Analyzer and also Browser, but i always have a doubt about Bex WAD.
    In my present job i talk to the users and take the requirments and create queries in the Bex analyzer which i am comfortable doing it.
    I also know all the features of Analyzer and created quries and also published it on web, and also created workbooks and inserting multiple quries in the workbook etc etc..
    However i have zero knowledge on WAD and how it is useful to me, and as if now i haven't got any requirment from the client for me to create any report in WAD or do some thing in WAD.
    I have gone through SAP SDN help etc but i am not understanding it at all.
    So can any one explain me in a laymans terms what WAD is and how it will be useful to me?
    and also if possible send me link which has got PDF screen shots of what WAD is?
    Points is for sure.
    Regards,
    Ram

    Raj,
    Thanks for the reply, but i still did not get the understanding about WAD. i have studied the link which you sent me.
    I am still not able to understand how it is helpful for people like me,
    See i create my report in Query designer, and i can execute the query in Analyser. and if i want i can execute it in the Web from my query designer, and also i can create chart on the web if i want.And i can Broadcaste it in the Web.
    and also if i want i can create it in the workbook and create chart in that work book.
    Then what is the point of Web Application Designer (WAD).
    See i have created the Query in Designer in Development say Sales report Query on the infoprovider for SD, now what should i do with it in WAD.
    How can i get it in WAD, i went to start> all Programs>Bex> WAD and i logged in to development and a sereen opend. And from here what i can do, i mean how can i open my created query in WAD?
    As you guys know i am new to SAP itself, but i dont see any advantage about WAD, i read all the articals and there i found that i can create Web Items, HTML etc etc, but i already have HTML, when i execute my query from the Designer i get it in Web Browser...
    See my question is simple, i have a query which i have created in the Query Designer, now how can i get it to WAD and after getting it what can i do with it??
    If any one has a screen shots of there pls send me.
    And Sanjeev has sent me a PDF which i saw earlear and i done the same in my WAD but i am not about to get it to work.
    I have given the points to every one but still what i need i did not get yet.

  • How to Add a New Filter Value in BEx WAD to Display All Result

    Hi experts,
    I want to add a new filter value in BEx WAD to display all data records. The scenario is as follows:
    The status field can have two values: Active ("A) and Inactive ("I").
    But the requirement is to have a third value to display all the data records (Active + Inactive). E.g. the value can be "G". The purpose is to increase the understandability for report users.
    Does anyone have an idea?
    Regards,
    Joon

    Hi Vineet,
    thanks for your reply. The problem is that there are only 2 values available for this Characteristic: "A" or "I".
    The requirement is to have a third value "G" (instead of the default "All Value") due to historical reason, because all future report users have been working with R/3 reports for quite some time and they are accustomed to using "G" for displaying all values.
    Is there any possibility to realize this?
    Thanks,
    Joon

  • Change comma and period in key figure presentation in BEx WAD reports

    Hi gurus
    We run our BEx WAD reports in the SAP portal. By default the thousands separator is period and the decimal separator is comma. How can I change this so the period becomes the decimal separator and the comma becomes the thousands separator?
    Kind regards
    Erik

    Hi Erik,
    you can change this by setting at user parameters.
    At system, at any screen (RSA1) -> menu SYSTEM- > USER PROFILE -> OWN DATA ->  Defaults Tab, here you can change.
    and Save.
    these will reflect in WAD report output.
    Best Regards.

  • BEX WAD 7.0:  Chart Takes Long Time to Display in Portal - Query runs FAST

    I have a BEx WAD 7.0 template which contains 3 column charts (each with it's own seperate DataProvider/Query).  When the page loads...two of the charts show up right away, but one of them takes almost a minute to display on the screen (I thought it was missing at first).
    I ran all three queries in the BEx Query Analyzer (including the one for the chart that takes forever to load) and they all complete within 3 seconds of hitting "Execute."  So I don't believe it is the query causing this issue.
    The chart that doesn't show up right away does have more data to display than the other two...but I have queries/charts on other web templates that contain 3-times the data of this one and show up fine when executed in the portal.
    Anyone else having this issue or have an idea on how I can optimize the WAD charts and/or find out what is causing this issue?  Again...the query that fuels this chart completes its execution in about 3-4 seconds.
    Thank you for your time and of course points will be assigned accordingly.
    Kevin

    Hi,
    have you already checked how much time the IGS consumes when creating the charts?
    Run TA SIGS and check the statistics values.

  • BEx WAD - Input validation

    Hi All,
    I'm using BEx WAD to call a query that allows me to see cost center information according to user authorizations thru the Portal. However, if I type an invalid entry then the application returns everything, including nodes that the user is not supposed to be authorized to see. How do I resolve this? Can I do it thru input data validation? Is there another simpler solution?
    Thanks
    Marshall.

    Marshall,
        How are you providing authorization to Query?

  • BEX WAD 7.0 Tab Pages issue with Mandatory Variables

    Hello,
    I have developed a BEX WAD 7.0 Tab Pages and need to pass Mandatory variables from one tab to other tab. Each tab has Container Layout Item to group them into a tab.
    I have Set the Variable Sate for each tab page generically and it passes the variables if all of them are optional variables. If one of them is Mandatory the doesn't pass the value for the variable.
    Did anybody face this problem & We are on SAPKW70018? If there are not note specifically for this on higher SP please do let me know.
    Thanks
    Arun

    I guess there are no experts in BEX WAD 7.0 in SDN to answer this question.
    Thanks

  • Using javascript to read bex variables in WAD

    Hello,
    I'm using BI 7.0.
    In Query Designer I defined a variable of type customer exit. The variable is called "TESTVAR". How can I access to the value of this variable in WAD by using javascript? I know I can use the Web Item "Script" or I can include the javascript code in an external file. But can you can give me some example code how I can access the variable "TESTVAR"?
    thanks
    bertl

    Try using the following
    Suppose <b>TESTVAR</b> is having the value <b>A</b>
    If TESTVAR is single value
    var_name_1=TESTVAR
    VAR_VALUE_EXT_1 = A
    if TESTVAR is range
    var_name_1=TESTVAR
    VAR_VALUE_LOW_EXT_1 = A
    VAR_VALUE_HIGH_EXT_1 = A

  • BEx Wad 7.0 displays key instead of text when text value is blank

    Hi,
    I have a query which behaves differently in BEx Analyzer and in a Web Template. I have a characteristic which is set to display text and key. The key is "100" and the text field is not filled out in the text table of the characteristic for key value "100".
    In BEx Analyzer, the text field shows a blank value. However, in WAD the text field displays the key which is "100". I need to display the text field as blank in WAD, but it seems like this is not possible. Do you know a way to achieve this?
    I need to export to Excel from WAD, so I guess javascript will not be a proper solution.
    Thanks!
    Best regards,

    Hi Angie,
    There is no way to change it by way of system settings...

  • Variable value is not getting set in BEx / WAD

    Hi,
    We have a WAD report where we have selection on Comp Code which is restricted to a variable Var1. In the same WAD, a button group is used to execute a Planning Sequence, it has a filter for Comp Code which is restricted to a mandatory variable Var2.
    Idea is unless the user selects a value for Comp Code in WAD selection screen(Var1), the button group to execute the Planning Sequence will not be visible. When this button group is visible and user clicks to execute the Planning Sequence, the value for Var2 is supposed to get the same value as Var1 since in the underlying BEx query of WAD, we have restricted Comp Code InfoObject with Var1 in Default Values region.
    This was working absolutely fine in BW 7.3. But recently we upgraded to BW 7.4 and now the value for Var2 is not getting set if user selects the value for Var1.
    Appreciate any help on this.
    Note: The issue will resolve if we use the same variable in BEx query as well as the Planning Sequence, but this is not feasible in our case.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Shravan Marathe

    Hi Suman,
    As the issue came up with the latest BW 7.4 upgrade, we are looking for a work around may be implementation of Notes instead of going for an alternative.
