Authorization check for Selection of Filter Values for Query Definition

I am looking for a solution to the following problem:
Assuming you have confidential master data in your development system.
How can I protect a query developer to see only master data values, that he is allowed to see when e.g. creating a restricted key figure.
I know that you can enable a setting in the "Business Explorer" tab that says "Query Def. Filter Value Selection". The help says:
This field describes how the selection of filter values and the restriction of characteristics function when you define queries.
The values from the master data table are normally displayed when you restrict characteristics. For characteristics without a master data table, the values from the SID table are displayed instead. In a number of cases, however, it could be better to display only the values that are in the InfoProvider. The setting "InfoProvider Values Only" is permitted for this reason.
This would almost do it, but it can be overwritten in the BEx Query Designer.
Is there a way of preventing Query Developers from seeing all InfoObject values when creating restricted key figures?
Thanks for your replies.

Hi,
Thanks for the points. I am not too sure how you guys go about implementing SAP. Sorry I am not trying to be rude but you're not suppose to see any "real" data in DEV where all development takes place. You can't prevent query developers to see data. Without data there is no way they know their queries are right or wrong. Ask ECC guys to load dummy data to DEV environment that closely resemble those data currently in legacy e.g. real data. Sorry it was my mistake at the beginning when i thought it was preventing specific end users to see data that are not belong to them.

Selection of Filter Values for Query Execution -Only Values in InfoProvider

I created a query based on an ODS. For the query charateristic 0NFCAT_CODE a variable was created by me. To the time of query execution F4 shows all values available in the charateristic, but only values available in the ODS are expected.
The characteristic 0NFCAT_CODE is a reference characteristic to 0CAT_CODE. 0NFCAT_CODE is compounded with 0NFCAT_TYPE (reference to 0CAT_TYPE) and 0NFCAT_GRP (reference to 0CAT_GRP). All characteristics 0CAT_CODE, 0CAT_TYPE and 0CAT_GRP are set to Query Def. Filter Value Selection = Only Values in InfoProv and Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn = Only Values in InfoProvider.
Could anybody give me a help? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
that is master data of 0NFCAT_CODE.

NW04s(SP7/FEP7)-Select Filter value for HIER in 3.XBexAnalyzer doesn't work

Hi,
We went live with SPS 7/FEP 7 and we are having problem in 3.X Bex Analyzer with "Select Filter Value" for charcteristic having active hierarchy(in this case it is using time dependent hierarchy). (For Eg: Organization Unit)
If I inactivate the hierarchy for organization unit at query level and then execute the query, then "select filter value" works for Organization Unit.
NOTE: I checked other query using hierarchy (not time dependent hierarchy) and I was able to do "select filter value"
Please let me know if any OSS note is available for this issue so that we can fix this issue in our Production Environment.
NOTE: The above issue works in SPS 8/FEP 802 with 3.X Bex Analyzer.
Thankyou,
-Sini

Hi,
Did you have an asnwer to your problem?
We've a similar problem we had a technical upgrade to BI 7.0. But we still work with the frond end tools of 3.5.
When we select in the Bex analyzer a node in an hierarchy it shows the result, but if want to select an other node we must first remove the old filter. This wasn't when we're on the 3.5 enviroment.
Maybe if the problem is solved, this can help us.
Thanks in advance!

Filter Value for BADI

Hi,
Kindly Let me know the Filter Defined for Implementaing
BADI.
Hoping for your Response...!!!

Hi,
BADI may be implemented depending on a specific filter value( example COUNTRY-SPECIFIC VERSIONS: distinct implementations of the BADI can be created for the COUNTRY).
a filter type must be entered when defining your enhancement ( a country or industry, for example).
all methods created in the enhancement's interface have filter value 'FLT_VAL' as their import parameter.
the method then selects the active implemetation based on the data provided in the filter value.
for seting the filter value, you must enable the option FILTER DEPEND and provide FILTER TYPE in the ATTRIBUTES of the BADI defination.
SE18 is the transaction code for creating BADI.
Filter dependence for BADI definitions means that each interface method automatically has an importing parameter FLT_VAL assigned ot it. This parameter must be filled with a filter value as current parameter when it is called.
A BADI definition should be marked as filter-dependent whenever the characteristic of the BADI implementation should match the characteristics of the filter type - that is, whenever the implementation of different filter values should be different or should only exist at all for certain filter values.
Typical filter types are line of industry or country.
The BADI is filter dependent. In the first tab of your BADI implementation (SE19), the lower half will contain filter details.
STEPS FOR SETTING UP A FILTER
just go to se18 and give ur BADI name..
then Select 'Attributes' Tab ,there u will find option Filter-Dependent in window named "type"..
check tht filter dependent checkbox and give ur data element/field in the Filter type field say u can give 'MOLGA' ..save and come back..
now go to se19 and implement this BADi and there u can give filter values for filed MOLGA..
Reward Points if found helpfull..
Cheers,
Chandra Sekhar.

POSDM - filter value for category code determination

Hi Guru's
Pl advice on significance of setting the filter value for Category Code Determination in POSDM config under /posdw/img -> general settings.
If my inbound tlog contains all the relevant POS transaction type codes , which have been defined in config then probably :
- I do not need to give any filter value for Category Code Determination
- I do not need to maintain any definition and assignment entries under posdw/img -> Integration with Other SAP Components -> SAP POS -> Definition of Values for Category Code Criteria AND Assignment of Category Code Criteria to PIPE Category Codes
Please advice.....
thanks!!

Hi
It depends on the ssytem settings. The problem with your query is that it is not able to fetch all the data due to lack of memory. However, when you are giving smaller range, you are getting the output. You can either ask the basis guy to increase the memory space or try running the query by giving smaller date range.
Hope it helps.

How to - Select Multiple Filter Values w/o Navigation ability

Just FYI, I had a requirement to allow users to select multiple characteristic filter values. Something like a capabilities a combo box would afford us.
To do this just use a Generic Nav Block Web Item and in the Web Item configuration just uncheck the "Display Navigation Icons".
It gives them the ability to select multiple filter values without all the Drill up/down capabilities.

You can use multiple filter options using the web item dropdwon box.
There is a How to document available in the BW 2.0B section for this..link below.

How to have more months and years appear for selection in the archives for blog posts?

Hello,
How to have more months and years appear for selection in the archives for blog posts? It just shows past 3 months in the year 2014, but we have many blog posts in years 2013, 2012 and 2011 and further back. I am using the OOB SharePoint blog
feature.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply; it doesn't add anything as RSA6 was one of the options I listed and this was my fall back option if there was no other special treatment for the COPA datasources.
I have found out why this, and other fields, are not available in KEB0. The program uses a Function called KERA_COPA_METADATA_INTERFACE within which there is a section that selects the COPA fields:
***** 1. RULES (choice/class)
* set rules for fixed fields
PERFORM COPA_SET_RULES_FIXED_FIELDS USING I_ACCTCOST
                                      CHANGING E_T_RULES[].
When you look at this code section there is a hard coded list of fields to exclude:
MRULE 'MANDT     ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'PAOBJNR   ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'PASUBNR   ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'PAPAOBJNR ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'PAPASUBNR ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'HRKFT     ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'HZDAT     ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'USNAM     ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'RKESTATU ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'TIMESTMP ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'PERDE     ' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'PERIO     ' OBLIGATORY CHAR_CE3 OBLIGATORY CHAR_CE3.
MRULE 'COPA_AWTYP' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
MRULE 'COPA_AWORG' NEVER FORGET_IT NEVER FORGET_IT.
As this is a standard delivered SAP function I do not recommend that you change this code as you will invalid your SAP support and upgrade paths.
Thanks
Neil

Another BW question about filter in the query definition

Hi ,
I have another question about filter in the query definition.
<u>Question:</u>
Which of the following objects can be filtered in the query definition?
A. characteristic
B. Key figure
C. Structure
D. Units
E. Hierarchy
My answer is A,B,D,E.
The answer in the book is A,B,D
Can anybody tell me which one is wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Liu Jia

HI
1.The answer could be A,B,D.you can not apply filters on hierarchies
2.Whenever there is a change in Attribute data(like Location,Num etc...)that has to be reflected in all aggregates of the cube.Thsi can be done by running "ATTRIBUTE CHANGE RUN".

Select Filter value for Hierarchy node taking long time

Dear Experts,
I am facing an issue with the Filter value selection in a BEx query and searched the forum for a solution but found none.
I have a free characteristic with hierarchy enabled for it and the Filter value selection at Query execution has been set to 'Values in Master data table' in the query definition and in the Multiprovider as well.
However, whenever the filter value selection is performed, the values are being read from teh underlying infocubes instead of the Master data.
We tried checking the BIA Index for the cube as well as the InfoObject and all is fine.
Can someone please point what might be going wrong here.
Thanks & Regards,
Sonal

Could you please check as per Note 1565809 and make sure the F4 mode is really M mode in each level settings?

A filter value for Query is set with some value automatically

Hello SAP sourcing Guru!
I created a query which has several filters.
Some of Filter's type is VLV.
When I preview the query somehow the filter values are already set with some value even though I did not set the default value.
For example, filter name is Region and there are four regions: Asia, NA, Europe, and SA.
I want to select one of them from drop-down menu. But Asia was already selected when I clicked the preview button for the query. I want to see "Please Select" instead of Asia from drop-down menu. I did not select "Prefill value from cache" for the filter. I made the filter Optional only. I did not set Default Value either for the filter.
Any clues?
Thank you for your response in advance.

Hi,
In the Default value field of the filter prompts, you need to mention the Class Reference ID of the corresponding field. E.g., if you have Contract document phase as a filter, then in that if you want to display a blank or none value, then you should use null:2016.
Similarly for vlv type, the system has a value 616. Hence if you want to display a None value insteead of Asia, use the following in the Default value field:
0:616:null.
The way to find the class reference ID is to goto the RG > Class Reference > Look for the field that you are attempting to default on.
Hope this helps,
Vikram

Filter Values for character in Filter not to display in WAD 3.5

Dear SDN's,
We built a query in BI 7.0.In the query we taken one character Material in Default Values and make Default values M1,M2,M3.
In default values we restricted Material with M1,M2,M3.
We created WAD for this query in WAD 3.5 version.And in the navigation block we taken this character under list of characters,and we have filter also for this WAD.
When we executed this WAD through browser,under Material filter it showing filter values as M1,M2,M3.
i.e Material drill down and values M1,M2,M3.
and below it showing the report correctly.
We doesnt want to display the values M1,M2,M3 next to material filter.It should be shown balnk.
I checked the properties of WAD,Filter,Navigation but not found.
your suggestiosn are appreciated.

Lakshman Kumar G

Hi,
this forum is for the SAP Integration Kit from BusinessObjects - not for the WAD. I would suggest you post this question into the WAD area

Dynamic variant for select option High value

Hi ,
Please help me in creating dynamic variable for a select option date field high value.
II tried the following method:
1. Enter the values in the selection screen
2. Save the variant using the SAVE button
3. In the next screen for the date variable select the 'Selection variable' checkbox (L) and click on the button 'Selection variable' in the toolbar.
4. Now you will see this variable in the next screen with 3 types of buttons. Click on the middle button (i.e. D - Dynamic date calculation).
5. Click on the down arrow button and select the option 'Current Date'.
5. Save the variant.
But it is saving the date value in Field LOW of select option( From value).
I need it in TO field( High value).
Please help.
regards,
Sheeba

Hi Sheeba
we can do it other way .. Select the same steps as you have done but after the assigning the value current date to low ..click on the selection option push button at the application bar and choose the 'less than or equal to' option to your select option value and try the same ....
I guess this would throw you same results as that of the value in the high value button
Cheers,
Jacks.
