Text not appearing in Variable selection screen

Hi
When I select a value for an info object (say Plant) in the selection screen and click on "Check" in BEX usually text of the chosen plant appears on the right. But in case of some info objects it doesn't appear. Can someone please guide as to what might be going wrong here.
I've noticed that this does not happen to SAP defined objects, but when i create a Z or Y object I come across this issue. User says that he wants to see the text of the chosen value and he chooses "Check".
Regards,

Have you maintained the texts for your custom (Z* or Y*) InfoObjects, by either DataSource extraction and load, or directly manually in the InfoObject maintenance screen? If there isn't a text table for those InfoObjects, then the description will not be present for the values contained in it.
Additionally, what are the settings that you have in the Business Explorer tab of these custom InfoObjects. Make sure that they're in sync with the standard content InfoObjects.

Text info in the variable selection screen

Hello
I want to show some text info together with variable selection screen. Is it possible in WAD ? How to do it?
Help please.
Thanks.

Rani,
Basically its not suggestable by SAP that to modify the variable screen, since that has been directly delivered by SAP Object... If you still wants to modify the variable screen then your F4 will not work ijn the variable screen... Usually dont go and modify your variable screen..

Hi Prasanna,
In the Query Designer goto the properties of the required object that you want to display key and text for it, Select the Key and Text Display option. Then you can see in report key and text for that object.
Hope this helps.

Text upload in Web Template variable selection screen

Hi all,
In the Analyzer it is possible to upload text files in the variable selection screen but I can't find this feature in the variable selection screen for Web Templates.
Anyone has an idea ?
Regards,

Hi,
it's is not possible with standard.
I read in some sap feature paper that it will come.
Maybe it will be possible with modification, but that's only an idea.
Kind regards,

Urgent: Custom Text in Variable Selection Screen

Hi Experts,
I know that it is not recommended by SAP to customise the variable screen, I am sorry but that is ridiculous coz there are no alternatives provided for even simple editing. I''ve searched every where in SDN to find a way to simply add a custom text element in this bizarre screen.
I need to do that because I have to group variables that look similar in a container and add some instructions to users on how to base their selections.
I am also not sure what exactly the web item whcih is behind this selection screen or perhaps if it is another web template that is being invoked by the standard template ""0analysis_pattern"" and if any what is that web item invoking it.
If you have any clues of how i can achieve this please adivce as soon as you possibly can.
Points will be assigned.
Cheers,
Jad

Hello,
To customize your variable screen you should neeed developer access key..you can see whether you have got or not in table Devaccess..
Personalisation of variables is for saving all inputs for future use. ( In your case save without any pre determined values )
Below PDF link will surely answer your doubts.
http://www.ies.state.pa.us/imaginepa/lib/imaginepa/mso2.pdf
The personalization option can be activated in the system (using the program RS_PERS_ACTIVATE or the IMG guide (BW Customizing Implementation Guide -> Business Information Warehouse -> Reporting-Relevant Settings -> General Reporting Settings -> Activate personalization in the BEx).
You can manage your personalization variable through BEX Analyzer "Change Variable Values" menu option "Business Explorer --> change query --> change variable values.

Re: No Text displayed in the Input help in WEB
For creating the Web Template..
Go the web application designer, create a new web template in the template
in the left hand side you will find web items , from there drag and drop table , navigation block for your navigation attributes and in the table you have to assign the data provider
for that first you have to do
<object>
<param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
<param name="CMD" value="SET_DATA_PROVIDER"/>
<param name="NAME" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
<param name="QUERY" value="your query name"/>
<param name="INFOCUBE" value="your cube or multiprovider name "/>
DATA_PROVIDER: DATAPROVIDER_1
</object>
now you can asssign the data provider 1 to the table.
you can all the neccessary things you want , like check box, radio button group, charts etc.
while saving this save it in a role.
If you want to do this for a workbook, which has been created in the BEx Analyzer, do the following:
After embedding the query in the workbook, right click -> choose 'properties' in the context menu -> click the 'interaction' tab -> check the 'save and reuse variable values' option.
After doing this, once the workbook or query is refreshed, the already entered variable values are taken.

How to not display unnecessary attributes in variable selection screen?

Hello everybody,
I created a input variable referenced Calendar Year/Month(0CALMONTH) in my query. But as I select values for my variable when I execute the query, all the display attribute of 0CALMONTH displayed in the select screen, just like Calendar Year/Month Text, Calendar Year Key, Calendar month key, Number of Days Key, Number of Workdays Key...But I think just display Calendar Year/Month Text in the select screen is enough, how do I just display necessary attributes in the variable selection screen, not all the display attributes of 0CALMONTH?
Tks!

How to include text lable in Variable selection screen (Web Reporting)

Hi Experts,
I have created one query and in Web Report-->variable selection screen I have one Date field for that field I have to display a label stating that user to input date in the format YYYY.MM(like a text label).Actually I have created 10 to 12 report . I need u r suggestion such that a single change will reflect my requirement in all the reports and I have created all the reports for same multiprovider.
Thanks in Advance
Yours,
Bala

Bala,
Prompts can originate from one of two places: either via Designer and using the @prompt functionality or while creating the report building a prompt in the Query Filters panel. If the prompt was built using the @prompt method, and all 10-12 reports are using that particular @prompt, then one change via Designer will cause all reports to reflect the new verbiage. If you built the 10-12 reports using the prompt in the second scenario, then each individual report needs to be opened, modified and then saved. If you must use the latter method, then you can open the first report, modify the prompt verbiage, then highlight the new verbiage with your mouse and hit Control-C (which copies that text to the Clipboard of your Windows system). Then go to the second report, locate the verbiage that needs to be changed, delete it, then Control-V (which pastes), and voila, some keyboarding strokes are saved....
Thanks,
John

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?

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

BI report not displaying Variable selection screen on UI

Hi,
We have recently upgraded our CRM to 7.0, but the strange thing is the BI reports are executing without giving the user the variable screen.
Now the alternative to this is making the variables in BI section Mandatory and they show up in the report, but this is not the correct way.
Are we missing some piece of configuration somewhere.
Regards
Lalan

Hi Vinayak,
Do you know how can I get the variable selection screen to display in BI analyzer when I execute the report from backend BW system and it launches BI analyzer. I know we can go into Add-Ins and from toolbar we can go into Change Variables Values icon, but I would like selection screen to display as default when user runs the report from backend.
Thanks

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.

Restrict value list (F4) at variable selection screen

Hi,
we have a variable of type "manual input" so that it appears at the selection screen before executing the query.
The value-list (F4) for this variable provides every value of masterdata of the infoobject. But here is the problem: I want only those values that are used in the infocube. Is there a way to restrict this list? Customer-Exit??
Thanks for all hints!
Regards,
Mathias

Hi,
I tested both of the hints - in my system both settings had no impact.
Can it be a release problem? My BW is a 3.0B SP 15.
I changed the settings in the InfoObj and put a new variable in the query-def for this characteristic. In the variable-selector before executing the query I can select a value (via F4) for the characterisitc which is not used in the cube. This is my problem. Only used values should be selectable.
These are the settings in the InfoObj:
Display                 Text
BEx description         Short description
Selection               Unique for Every Cell
Q Def. Filter Val Sel   Only Values in InfoProv
Q Exec Filter Val. Sel Only Posted Values for Navi
Can anyone help?
Thanks, Mathias

Variable selection screen: display as Key

We are using NW2004s for our BI system and for the front-end components (Bex Query Designer, Bex Query Analyzer, ...)
When opening a certain query with the Analyzer, the variable selection screen is shown. But now we can only input values directly in the fields if we change the display setting from Text to Key. (input values directly = without using the input help)
Is there no way to put the display on Key by default for the variable selection screen?
Hopeful greetings,
Ben De Windt

Hello Ben,
unfortunately this is not possible at the moment. The feature will be available with SPS 13, which is planned to be available in calendar week 32. Please have a look at the Functional Enhancements Schedule BI in NW 7.0 (formerly known as 2004s) on page 20:

Adding a message to the variable selection screen

Hi there
I have been asked to find a way to add a message to the variable selection screen.
It appears that DIVISION needs to be added to the selection screen, as this makes the query run faster. However, they don't actually want the user to enter a division, as this causes other problems.
So, ideally, I would be able to add a message to the variable selection screen that advises users against entering a value for division.
I don't know how to do this.
I create the web template, and I can therefore add messages or anything you like to the template, but I don't believe I have any control over the variable selection screen.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
We are running a 2004s system if that helps.
Cheers,
Andrew

Hello,
Well i think if you make the variable used for division not ready for input it would not be available for the users to input anything.
you can find the checkbox for this in the properties of the variable in query designer.
Hope this matches your requirement.

Shashank

Andrew,
You cannot customize the variable entry screen - atleast not in BI3.x since SAP advices storngly against it. I guess the same applies to BI7 also.
What you could do it
1. Have an exit that fills in the values and is not shown by default
2. Have the variable on division but make it optional and remove the ready for input option for the same
3. Have a HTML variable selection window and then pass the values to your report - but then you will not get the F4 help for the same here.

Unable to Upload data from text file into BEx Analyzer selection screen

Hi,
No response from BEx Analyzer when I am trying to upload around 40,000 material from text file into BEx Analyzer selection screen using "Upload selections" options. But I am able to upload only 10,000 material from text file. I never faced same kind of issue when I am using BEx Analyzer 3.x. Please let me know I have to change any settings related to BEx or any other.
Thanks
Sri Krishna Ponnada.

Hello
It seems you are reaching the .NET memory limitation informed in note 1040454.
Because 3.5 does not use .NET it can work that.
