APD- use variable in Filters

Hello to all
I use an APD to populate a attribute of an infobjetct. This APD work fine but i want to limit with a variable in the filter.
The problem is i cannot use a variable in the filter. Do you this problem ?
I'm working in BW07 , SP12 and i have implemented the Note 1077019 - APD: Variablen fehlen in F4-Hilfe im Filter
Thank for your help

Hi,
do you alraedy have some variables for your inforobject (attribute).
Please note, that input variables are not supported in APD. Hence, you can only use variables like "previous period" which are replaced automatically.
Cheers!

Using variables as filters in analyses launched by Guided Navigation links

I'm trying to build a navigation link that will launch an analysis and have the filters in that analysis respect the values of either Presentation Variables or Session Variables. I'm having success with an ordinary column. I'm not having success with a number that I need to type into a prompt.
Here's what I've done so far:
1. Created a dashboard prompt based on the Month column. When a Month is selected, that selection populates the Request (Session) variable called Selected_Mo
2. Created an analysis with:
- a filter on the Month column: = Selected_Mo
- the Month column
- a column showing the value of Selected_Mo
3. Placed both of those onto a dashboard page. When I select a value of Month, the month in the analyis changes, and the column showing the value of Selected_Mo changes. So far, all is good.
4. Placed an Action Link on the dashboard. That action link launches the same analysis that I can see on the dashboard.
5. Clicked the action link. The value of Month that I selected on the dashboard is shown in the analysis.
Now, I'm trying to do the exact same thing with a numeric entry field in a dashboard prompt, and I'm running into a stumbling block. I want to type a number into a field in a dashboard prompt, and populate a session variable called Change_Pctg. Selecting "Variable Prompt" in the dashboard prompt only lets me populate a Presentation Variable. But no matter. I've created a "dummy" field like we used to do in 10g, just creating a Column Prompt against a column formula of 1.
When I put the analysis onto the dashboard, it's correct. I can enter a number into the dashboard prompt field, click Apply, and that value is shown in the analysis on the screen. I'm filtering against that value as well, and the number of rows is right. So I know that I'm setting the value of that Change_Pctg session variable.
But when I click the action link, only Selected_Mo is respected by the target analysis. The Change_Pctg session variable is ignored.
Any thoughts?

I'd like to abort this post. I've been able to replicate the error using a much simpler method. Refer to the post entitled 'Passing Presentation Variables to Guided Navigation'.

Using variables in the title of the graph

Hi Gurus,
I would like to use - for example a presentation- variable in the title of a graph.
I assign a value for that variable in dashboard prompt.
Does anybody know the syntax of using variable in the title of a graph
(Not in a Title view!)
Thanks in advance .
Regards
Laszlo

You can reference presentation variables in the following areas :
Title Views
Narrative Views
Column Filters
Column Formulas
Conditional Formatting conditions
Chart scale markers.
Gauge range settings.
Static text.
Direct Database Requests
Dashboard prompts
iBot Headlines and text

How do i filter the records in analytic view by using variable/parameter for a time range

i have a analytic view which has a output column as date type. i want the user who use this view have the control to decided the output records based on a time range (from x to y).
i tried to create 2 variables, 1 for start_time, 1 for end_time. Ideally, i should have a expression for filtering data like this:
$$start_time <= date_column <= $$end_time
However, the variable windows doesn't seem to be feasible for the expression as above.
Does anyone has the same problem and get it solved?
Thanks!

just figured out by my own. So the answer is using "variable" with "range" option.
Making a variable, then set the "selection type" to "range".
When preview the data, the variable input window pops up with operator on default "equal", use dropdown list to swtich it to "between", then you can enter the start_time and end_time as a range filter.

Structure data in the spreadsheet using BEx Query filtered by year

Hi,
I´m making a Balanced Scoredcard using Xcelsius and extracting data from SAP BI. The customer asked to see a few KPI´S (Return on assets and profit margin) filtering data from the dashboard by year, month and region.
The problem I´m facing is how to structure the data in the spreadsheet using a query filtered by year variable.

APD using Query with multiple structures as a data source

All,
I want to set up an automatic process which executes a query and exports it to a shared drive as a csv file. I have tried various options , when I try to use APD to set up the extract, I get an error and this is because the query that I am trying to use has Strucutres in both rows and columns. Hence, I am unable to use this option. I tried RSCRM_BAPI, It works well, but there is an issue with scheduling this in Process chain. I created an event and scheduled this as a job to trigger after "event" as per SAP instructions, but the job does not exist and it is not possible to trigger it through the Process chain unless the variables are hard coded in the query which I do not want to do.
Can any one tell me if there is a way to deal with APD using Query with multiple structures?
Would really appreciate if some one can give me the right solution...
Thanks

Hi Tanu ,
APD is an option but its not very good with large amount of data or hiearachies or if you have attributes in you query structure .
One more option for this requirement is use of report program using function module RRW3_GET_QUERY_VIEW_DATA .
This will work fine with multiple structure etc .
There are some overheads with this FM ex: if amount of data is too much then program will give dump .Solution for that is we call the FM in LOOP by diving amount of data need to be fetched .ex: we can read data quarter wise.
For using this function module what you can do is write an ABAP program (At SE38 ) .which will call this FM and then write the output into a flat file which you can save at application server (AL11) .From there other system can read it .
To automate this whole process you can further add all the report programs into a process chain (RSPC) which can be schedule as per requirement .
To pass input parameters you can use variants that will pass the values to the report .
Check thi link for sample code :

Hope this will be helpful .

Setting mutliple variables and filters in operators

Hi all,
Playing around with the new liquid markup and loving it. Have two questions though that I couldn't find answers to in the docs.
1) Is it possible to set multiple variables in one line, or some better way than what I'm currently doing? At present I'm adding a new line per variable, so
{% assign var1 = 1 %}
{% assign var2 = 2 %}
Just thought there might be an easier way, like perhaps
assign var1 = 1,
assign var2 = 2
2) Is it possible to use filters in operators? If so I may be doing it wrong;
{% if numericVar1 | modulo: numericVar2 == 0 %} **do whatever **{% endif %}
My first thought is it is evaluating the second bit and using that for the modulo. So, if numericVar2 was "0", it would be trying to do "numericVar1 | modulo: (numericVar2 == 0)", rather than "(numericVar1 | modulo: numericVar2) == 0".
I also thought perhaps it might be related to the bug linked below, but I've had no issues in general using variables alone with filters, only when in operators.
Bug: Liquid math filters don't work with module data
Edited because I hit post too soon.

Hi there,
1. No, its not a high end language, what your doing is fine there.
2. Filters in operators work, but not all cases.

Error-Receiver File Adapter using Variable substitution when file is empty

XI Experts,
We are on PI 7.0, SP14.
We are using variable subtitution to get the filename from source message. This works fine as long as we have data in the payload for filename element. But we have a scenario where we don't have to create file when certain condition does not exists in source message so in the message payload filename element will not exists in such condition and file will be empty and we should not create file.
Parameter in the communication channel for Handling empty message is "Ignore".
Does anyone knows how to handle this scneario. We don't want to default any file name in the message mapping if source file name element does not exists.
We are following getting error in the Adapter engine.
MP: Exception caught with cause com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error during variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: The following variable was not found in the message payload: file: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.configuration.DynamicConfigurationException: Error during variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: The following variable was not found in the message payload: file
Thanks
MP

You can implement this by writing the module to throw an exception or whatever method you want to execute.
If you don't want to receive an error message then module is suitable for you.

Using variables to insert data in the table

I want to insert datas in the table. I use constants,
all the constants are stored properly in the table. But,
when I use variables I get the error message
"Too few parameters. expected 6".
(I declared all the fields of the table as text only.)
My program is "newt.jsp"
<%@ page language="java" import="java.sql.*" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>storing customer information in the database</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
String cno1 = request.getParameter("cno");
String n1 = request.getParameter("n");
String add11 = request.getParameter("add1");
String add21 = request.getParameter("add2");
String phone1 = request.getParameter("phone");
String email1 = request.getParameter("email");
Connection con = null;
try {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:customer"," "," ");
Statement statement1 = con.createStatement();
Statement statement2 = con.createStatement();
statement2.executeUpdate("create table cust1 (cno varchar(20),n varchar(20),add1 varchar(20),add2 varchar(20),phone varchar(20),email varchar(20))");
statement1.executeUpdate("insert into cust1 (cno,n,add1,add2,phone,email) values(cno1,n1,add11,add21,phone1,email1)");
catch(SQLException sqle) {
System.err.println(sqle.getMessage());
catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
System.err.println(cnfe.getMessage());
catch(Exception e) {
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
finally {
     try {
     if(con!=null) {
          con.close();
catch(SQLException sqle) {
System.err.println(sqle.getMessage());
%>
<br><br>
Mr./Ms. <%=n1 %> <br>
Your datas have been stored.<br>
</body>
</html>
Those who know answer please reply.
My thanks in advance.

I would expect your insert statement to be this:
statement1.executeUpdate("insert into cust1 (cno,n,add1,add2,phone,email) values('"+cno1+"','"+n1+"','"+add11+"','"+add21+"','"+phone1+"','"+email1+"')");
If you just create a string, it's not going to fill in variables into the string by magic.

Using variable with the same name as field name?

I have a complex proc where I have variables with the same name as field name used on a query. something like this:
SELECT a.id_table WHERE a.id_table = id_table
where the last id_table is a parameter sent to the proc:
declare procedure myproc(id_table int)
Is there any way or notation to declare the variable inside the query as a variable or I have to use a different name?

Well, variables are not the only thing you have to change if you want to switch to Oracle.
Although I don't think it is good practice (to use variable name same as column name), here is one example how you can achieve it using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE and bind variable
SQL> select deptno, count(1)
2 from scott.emp
3 group by deptno;
    DEPTNO   COUNT(1)
        30          6
        20          5
10 3
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> declare
2 deptno varchar2(10);
3 i number;
4 begin
5 deptno:=10;
6 execute immediate
7 'select count(1) from scott.emp where deptno=:deptno' into i using deptno;
8 dbms_output.put_line('OUT ---> '||i);
9 end;
10 /
OUT ---> 3

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.

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.

Using variable of one class in another class

what are the different ways in which we can access a variable defined in one class in some other class ,i am aware of making object of that class and using variable ,inheritance polymorphisms,is there any other way

Well okay, then declare everything static and you can use class names to access methods and variables.

What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?

Hi All,
I am new to TestStand. Still in the process of learning it.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Using the Parameters is the correct method to pass data into and out of a sub sequence. You assign your data to be passed into or out of a Sequence when you are in the Edit Sequence Call dialog and in the Sequence Parameter list.
