Connection between 2 variables in bex variables screen

Hi all,
Can anyone help me please with the following scenario?
I need to create a connection between 2 variables in BEx variables screen.
Example:
2 variables in the selection screen:
Prod Hier. 1
Prod Hier. 2
When a user make a selection in the first var. (Prod Hier. 1) in the var screen, i need that the F4 help in the second variable will show only the Prod Hier. 2 that is under Prod Hier. 1.
Any help will be gratitude,
Y.B

Hi,
your question:
When creating a replacementpath variable you don't have the option to make it depends on other variable entry (i didn't find the option) I'm using BEx 7
Answer:
In BI7.0 Query designer, replacement path with other variable entry is possbile.
your requirement:
When a user make a selection in the first var. (Prod Hier. 1) in the var screen, i need that the F4 help in the second variable will show only the Prod Hier. 2 that is under Prod Hier. 1.
my answer:
replacement path with variable will not suit your requirement as far as i know.. any way let us wait for other experts reply...might be someonw knowing.
if it is useful assign points.

Sort the values in Bex query variable screen

Dear Experts,
Is it possible to sort the values of a dropdown list for variables on BEX variable selection screen ?
For example, For calender month selection, the values are by default sorted by ascending order.
Is it possible to sort by descending order ?
Regards,
ravindra

Hi Ravindra,
yeah it is possible by writing an abap code for the field calmonth/week...etc this is depends on the F4 help of the selection field. so you need to write a code for F4 help for making it in descending order. hope it helps.
Thanks,

Display message in BEx variable screen in 7.0

In BEx 3.5 I was able to display a message to the user when they enter a value they are not authorized for in the variable screen. This was done using the function module RRMS_MESSAGE_HANDLING in the variable user exit at step 3 and raising no_replacement.
This is no longer working as of BEx frontend 7.0. Is there a way (or different function module) I can display a message to the users on the variable screen?

Crystal Report not Adopting all possible Dropdown Values from BEx Variable

Hi all,
I am having an issue in a Crystal report where the drop down parameter that is sourced from a BEx query variable does not include all the possible values in the cube (or in master data). After learning my lesson the first time of not changing the name of the variable or changing it to dynamic (this causes it to break), I had the understanding that the value list may not be complete when running the report in the Crystal client or in the viewer, however, I thought it should be correct when published to the BOE and run in infoview. I am getting the same incomplete list in infoview. I published the report into infoview using the Crystal 2008 desktop client, not the /CRYSTAL/RPTADMIN transaction.
I know there are a couple ways of sourcing a Crystal report from a BW query - using MDX vs. not, etc. I created this report using the SAP menu > "Create new report from a query". I don't believe Crystal will easily let you use that menu option to create a report off two BW queries joined together (which is what I am doing), so I built it off one originally (using the SAP menu), then added the other later on. I have the checkbox for "Use MDX driver with support for Multiple structures" checked. In database expert, my "Selected Tables" both are of database type "SAP BW Query".
Do I have the right understanding of how the value list should work when sourced from a BEx variable? If so, can anyone offer any suggestions for getting the value list populated correctly?
Here's some info:
Crystal version: CR2008, version 12.2.4.507
BOE version 3.1
SAP BW 7.01 EhP 6
Thanks,
Chad

Hi,
- in the Crystal Reports designer the list of values is not online and there is a maximum number of values - configured by a registry setting:
(windows 7)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\SAP\BWQueryReportWrapper
Key: MaxPickListSize
and correct you can not change the name of the variable or set it to dynamic as the definition is based on the BEx query.
I know there are a couple ways of sourcing a Crystal report from a BW query - using MDX vs. not, etc. I created this report using the SAP menu > "Create new report from a query". I don't believe Crystal will easily let you use that menu option to create a report off two BW queries joined together (which is what I am doing), so I built it off one originally (using the SAP menu), then added the other later on. I have the checkbox for "Use MDX driver with support for Multiple structures" checked. In database expert, my "Selected Tables" both are of database type "SAP BW Query".
The checkbox on the Multi Structure is not for the option to combine 2 Bex queries - it is for Bex queries with 2 structures and the BW query driver has been deprecated already and you have to use the MDX Driver.
Do I have the right understanding of how the value list should work when sourced from a BEx variable? If so, can anyone offer any suggestions for getting the value list populated correctly?
in Crystal Reports Designer the list is static and when you publish the report using the BW Publishing to your SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise system the list becomes dynamic in InfoView.

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

Error message in Bex Variable screen

Hello All,
In my BW I have a new variable of type interval for the selection criterion calendar year/month .
I want to check high value of the interval if it is lesser than or equal to current calendar year/month (that is 201405) then report can be executed.Else if it is greater than current calendar year/month (that is 201405) an error message has to be displayed for the user to change the value.
Can anyone help me in knowing how this can be done.
Many Thanks,
PS

Hi,
This can be handled by writing code in Cmod i_step = 3.
IF I_STEP = 3.
          LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE WHERE VNAM = 'Give the tech.name of user input variable'
                  IF LOC_VAR_RANGE-HIGH GT SY-DATUM+0(6).
                       CALL FUNCTION 'RRMS_MESSAGE_HANDLING'
                          EXPORTING
                            I_CLASS = 'RSBBS'
                            I_TYPE = 'I'                     " It will throw Warning Message
                            I_NUMBER = '000'
                            I_MSGV1 = 'Give the message which you need to display'.
                        RAISE no_replacement.
                  ENDIF.
         ENDLOOP.
      ENDIF.
Hope this gives an idea.
PS:In case you need to throw an error message then replace I_TYPE = 'I'    by I_TYPE = 'E' .

Radio button in BEx variable screen

I want in a report to find the value of Key figure in absolute or not .
There must be a radio button in the varible screen to populate KF either in absolute or as it is .
Display absolute ( Yes or No) : .......
If yes it will show the KF only in absolute else it will show only as it is .
How should I approach ?

create two kf.
1st, your kf.
2nd (calculated) as absolute value of your 1st kf.
put a radio button, in design mode, under dimensions choose key figures.
switch off design mode.
hope this helps.

Display non changeable Variables / restricted values on variables Screen

Dear SAP-Experts,
is it possible to display non changeable / restricted char values on the variables screen?
regards
Jürgen

Dear Jürgen,
Now I understand what you mean.
I'm afraid this is indeed not possible, unless you create customer exit for i_step=3 to invalidate any change made by user in variable screen for this variable, which is not really a practical way.
Actually the user would be able to see the filter information after query execution. The detailed location depends on whether you use BEx Analyzer or portal.

Adding description in variable screen of Bex query

Hi All,
I have restricted one variable ( let us say abc)
these variable have value P, A.
when user select this value in the variable screen (let us say 'P') then the description field also shows 'P' .
I want user to select the value as 'P' but in description field it should come as "Pending' .
Please suggest how to do that
regards

1. If u want the description in the variable screen, the variable should be created on MD in which the text should maintain on this.
2. In the Multiprovider, go to that infoobject -> Provider Specific properties -> make this as key and text.
If you dont get the description, finally go to that infoobject, in Business explorer tab -> general settings - give key and text for Display.
hope this would help u.
