UJD_TEST_PACKAGE - How to use variables in Answer Prompt

Hello BPC gurus,
I'm using report UJD_TEST_PACKAGE in order to schedule BPC packages inside BW process chains, as proposed by Pravin Datar in his bolg (/people/pravin.datar/blog/2009/08/28/automate-execution-of-any-data-manager-package).
This solution does work well but still there is a limit I'm not able to overcome; I need to export data from BPC but with a filter on TIME dimension based on an OLAP variable: eg. let's assume that reference month is May 2011 (and this month is stored in a DB table), then I need to filter data from May 2011 to April 2012 only. If reference month is June 2011, dynamic filter should be from June 2011 to May 2012, and so on...
Does anybody know a way or a workaround (other that changing report code) in order to perform what I need??
Our BPC version is: BPC 7.5 SP6.
Our BW version is: BW 7.01 SP6.
Thanks very much for your help,
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
I don't think you have to support many version of ABAP code - one for each variable.
If your OLAP variable has type Customer Exit you can call SAP function RRS_VAR_VALUES_EXIT_FILL which has variable value as a parameter. You can save that value as a variant of ABAP process type. This way you'll have just one program to support, but as many variants as many variables you need.
Hope this helps,
Gersh

OBIEE 11g How to pass variable from one prompt to another prompt in dashboard page.

How to pass variable from one prompt to another prompt in dashboard page.
I have two prompt in dashboard page as below.
Reporttype
prompt: values(Accounting, Operational) Note: values stored as
presentation variable and they are not coming from table.
Date prompt values (Account_date, Operation_date)
Note:values are coming from dim_date table.
Now the task is When user select First
Prompt value “Accounting” Then in the
second prompt should display only Accounting_dates , if user select “operational”
and it should display only operation_dates in second prompt.
In order to solve this issue I made the
first prompt “Reporttype” values(Accounting, Operational) as presentation
values (custom specific values) and default presentation value is accounting.
In second prompt Date are coming from
dim_date table and I selected Sql results as shown below.
SELECT case when '@{Reporttype}'='Accounting'
then "Dates (Receipts)"."Acct Year"
else "Dates (Receipts)"."Ops
Year" End FROM "Receipts"
Issue: Presentation variable value is not
changing in sql when user select “operation” and second prompt always shows
acct year in second prompt.
For testing pupose I kept this presentation
variable in text object of dashboard and values are changing there, but not in
second prompt sql.
Please suggest the solution.

You will want to use the MoveClipLoader class (using its loadClip() and addListener() methods) rather than loadMovie so that you can wait for the file to load before you try to access anything in it. You can create an empty movieclip to load the swf into, and in that way the loaded file can be targeted using the empty movieclip instance name.

How to use variables with

I need to get the number of lines in internal table, which would
be easy, using DESCRIBE TABLE itab LINES lines. But the problem
is, that I get the name of this internal table in the field of
another internal table, so I have to use the name of internal
table as variable, but I don't know how to use variables with
DESCRIBE TABLE (or if this is possible).

Hi,
REPORT ZPRUEBA782 .
define two tables with diferent structures.
data: begin of table1 occurs 0,
registro type i,
end of table1.
data: begin of table2 occurs 0,
registro type i,
repid like sy-repid,
end of table2.
data: rows type i.
start-of-selection.
fill them with data
do 1000 times.
table1-registro = sy-tabix.
append table1.
enddo.
do 1757 times.
table2-registro = sy-tabix.
table2-repid = sy-repid.
append table2.
enddo.
call a form that receives as input the table and returns the number
of rows as output.
perform howmanyrows tables table2 changing rows.
break-point. "evaluate the number of rows
perform howmanyrows tables table1 changing rows.
break-point. "evaluate the number of rows
end-of-selection.
form howmanyrows tables itable changing rows.
rows = 0.
loop at itable.
add 1 to rows.
endloop.
endform.
You can try it if you don't find a better solution.

yes, my Data source is SAP BW, and connected to BOE via SAP INT KIT.
It's too bad that SAP doesn't support so simple requirement.
you said : user exit
are used to address these needs.
so there are possibility to solve my problem.
would you give me the logic of user exit? which part I should create the user exit
I'm quiet familiar with user exit in BW
thanks

Using variables for answers to fill-in-the-blank questions

Hello,
For fill-in-the-blank questions, one has to provide answers. I want to provide these in the form of (user-created) variables, rather than in the form of fixed strings of characters (so then, as $$var1$$ rather than as 'rabbit'). I haven't been able to get this to work. The enter variable function is indeed available (in the properties panel), but it doesn't actually work (i.e. even if you select a variable to be entered, it doesn't actually get entered).
Is there a way around the problem?
1. NB that this same issue holds for text entry boxes (rather than fill-in-the-blank questions). If I could get this to work for text entry boxes, I would use them rather than fill-in-the-blank questions.
2. One can use variables for answers to multiple choice questions. So I'm hoping I can get it to work for fill-in-the-blank questions as well.
Thank you in advance. Marvin DuBois

That would have been my suggestion. I don't have a dedicated blog post, but use TEB's for that kind of questions myself as well. And contrary to the widget/interaction I mentioned before, a TEB is an interactive object, which means it can be validated and there can be a score attached to it. But, it will not help you, since you have to add the correct answers in the same way as for a dropdown list in the FIB question (they are sort of TEB's there). And it is that list that doesn't allow to enter a variable instead of a fixed sequence of characters.
Which means that you are back to the advanced actions, same as in my blog posts with the widget/interaction.
Have a workaround (after all I am the workaround Queen) to have reporting, if you need to check only one TEB, described here:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/report-custom-questions-part-2
The idea is to use another interactive object that can have a score. In reality I use two instances of that same object: one with score 0 and one with score X and show the right one depending on the conditional action.
However if you want to have multiple TEB's on the same slide, that have to be checked all with the same advanced action, than you'll need either the Mastery widget by InfoSemantics (only for SWF output) or Javascript.

How to use variables in data slices?

Hello,
in BI-IP I have tried to use variables in a data slice.
The user should fill these variables.
How can one use and fill these variables?
Thank you
Daniel

Hello Horst,
data slice is a very strong system lock. It is normally not a good decission to allow users to control this part becuse it sould be in administration of a responsible person.
If you allow users in the web to open or close data slices, this is like a "open period" funtion in financials: Think about what could happen, if anyone else than the responsible person could do that....
This is my point of view.
I would do it in anoter way: Create an User exit and fill a variable like desribed above. You read each line and make a decission whether the user might see this line or not (e. g. period open? yes or no?). The period and the status for the period could be maintained in a table or in a characteristic. table might be easier.

How to use variables in logical file name definition FILE

Hi Friends,
How can I use variables in logical file name definition (tcode FILE). The requirement is to pass value in these variables (based on selection criteria), and use it as part of file name. You quick response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kuldeep Joshi

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
In detail, the scenario is like I have created an Open Hub. Its working fine. Now I am planning to execute this open hub using process chain and for that I have to define the file output on application server along with logical file name (using tcode FILE). The logical file name contains two variables (defined in FILE) i.e. z_dept and z_fiscperiod.
Filter value in DTP ( I will read these values from Ztable using routine )
Dept = R&D
Fisc period = 004/2009
Variables defined in tcode FILE:
z_dept for Dept
z_fiscperiod for Fiscal Period
Logical file name : <z_dept>_<z_fiscperiod>.csv
Now the challenge is to populate filter values in these two variables so that the filter value can be used for naming the output file.
My last option is to read/update SAP standard table used for storing variable values (i.e. PARAMVALUE)
Please let me know if you can help me in this issue OR is there any standard method/FM to populate value in these variables
Thanks,
Kuldeep

How to use variable in automator?

So I am trying to create this dictation command in automator where i can go like this "Launch Safari" or "Launch iTunes" so how to use the variable for text in the command?

Hi,
This is possible without a variable.
Remove the "Ask for Text" and "Set value of Variable psize" actions.
In the "Scale Images" action:
-- Click on the "Options" button.
-- click on "Show this action when the workflow runs" checkbox.
This is almost similar to that "Ask for Text" action, since the "Scale Images" action will be displayed as a dialog, You can adjust the percentage in this dialog.

How to use variable in rule script in HFM

I'm now writing VB script for HFM rule, and have something to ask about the use of variables in rule.
The script below generates the following error.
-Error description-
Line: 4, Error: Invalid Expression
HS.Exp "S#Actual.A#77300.I#[ICP None] = cur"
An error has occurred in Hyperion Financial Management.
-Rule script-
Sub Allocate()
Dim cur
cur = 500
HS.Exp "S#Actual.A#77300.I#[ICP None] = cur"
End Sub
On the other hand, the script below works properly.
-Rule script-
Sub Allocate()
HS.Exp "S#Actual.A#77300.I#[ICP None] = 500"
End Sub
Probably I'm not using variables in proper way, but have no idea how to correct it.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
try this in the sub calculate:
HS.Exp "S#Actual.A#77300.I#[ICP None]=" & cur
For the sub allocate, I suppose that you do not have the issue because the allocate is not launch during the consolidation process. Allocate is launched separatly by a right click, and can only be done when calculation status = "OK", which means that all calculation have been done (that could not be the case if you have an error like this in sub calculate).
Hope it helps

How to use variable in DVM

I have a string variable called codeValue and I want to use it in a dvm:lookupValue. Do you know how to use a variable in a dvm function? Below is my lookup function but I got an XPath error
dvm:lookupValue ('cityMap.dvm','Code',codeValue,'CityNames', 'CouldNotBeFound')
I also tried the below but it failed also
dvm:lookupValue ('cityMap.dvm','Code',bpws:getVariableData('codeValue'),'CityNames', 'CouldNotBeFound')
Thanks

Hello,
I am also receiving an error. Is there any other configuration that is necessary besides creating the dvm file and using the xpath functions. Is there something we need to do with the Mediator. I am using the dvm:lookup in my XSL transformation.

If I remove the dvm:lookupValue functions from the XSL, it works
So I created a simple BPEL process, created a Test.dvm just using the default values and did a transformation
<xsl:template match="/">

<client:result>
<xsl:value-of select="dvm:lookupValue('Test.dvm','domain1','value1','domain2','Not Found')"/>
</client:result>
</client:processResponse>
</xsl:template>
I get the same error message when I run the process. When I try to test the transformation I get the error:
Failed to transform the source XML. Start of root element expected.
Has anyone used DVM's in 11g? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

How to use "choose file with prompt" command?

I need to use "choose file with prompt" command and I want give user possibility choose ONLY images (jpeg, png, gif). So, I write like this:
choose file with prompt "Please, choose images for processing..." of type {"JPEG Image"}
But this doesn't work! - All files (including jpegs) are dimmed, and user can't choose any....
So, how can I filter JPEGs, PNGs and GIFs?

I have found, that most of images on my computer has missing file_type, I don't know why..... so "type identifier of (info for (choose file))" also doesn't work properly.
The only one way that 100% works is use Uniform Type Identifier (UTI) -- details here: http://www.huw.id.au/code/fileTypeIDs.html
thanks.
