Authorization Variable not prefilling on RRI jump

Hi,
I have an Authorization Variable which prefills according to the users authorized values - this works fine in all instance EXCEPT when I jump from another query.
Has anyone seen this before?
Anybody know why?
What is the function which prefills the variable?
The jump goes to a web analyzer session. The session works fine if I just execute the jump query - but as soon as the url contains passed variables the authorization variable does not prefill.
eg. http://sldn1450dap:6777/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=EN&CMD=LDOC&INFOCUBE=H3FST_M_M&QUERY=QFCMM_AD0060_V2_JMP - works fine, variable prefills
http://sldn1450dap:6777/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=EN&CMD=LDOC&INFOCUBE=H3FST_M_M&QUERY=QFCMM_AD0060_V2_JMP&VAR_NAME=8BBS_ID&VAR_VALUE=43RUCKR22P5SIA2LJXEE2XJBN - variable does not prefill
Desperate to sort this one out. 2 days to release deadline and spending days on this.

Neville

Hi Neville,
First query also has the same authorization variable?
if yes it should work.
Otherwise add the same object and variable in the first query also.

Hierarchy authorization variable not filled

Hi experts,
I'm trying to give users access to their node in the 0COSTCENTER hierarchy using a variable $VARHCECO in a authotitazion object. This object has 0COSTCENTER equal to ' ' and 0TCTAUTHH equal to $VARHCECO. In the report variable customer exit this variable is filled in the I_STEP = 0 with the information that is stored in a ODS. Each user only can view his/her subtree cost centers.
Finally, in the query, a authorization variable is used in order to choose the nodes that the user has authorization.
The problem is that in runtime, neither the variable VARHCECO nor the I_STEP = 0 is reached because the customer exit is only called for i_VNAME blank and I_STEP = 3. As a consequence, I get an authorization error because of the variable is never filled.
How can I manage for the customer exit is called for variable VARHCECO and I_STEP = 0?
Many thanks in advance,
David Moreno

Hi David,
We have handled a similar scenario (not for cost center but for Organization Unit hierarchy) in a different way. Instead of using authorization object, we have defined a variable through customer exit.
The flow goes like this. You define a variable for which the values get filled up through customer exit. User do not have the flexibiity pass any values to this variable. It by default goes to the master, Picks up the Organization unit, he is assigned to, calls the function module which identifies the nodes under that Org unit hierarchy.. Passes the list of Org_units to e_t_range.
By this he can by default see all objects/employees under his org unit and the Hierarchy below that only.
Trust this helps.
Thanks n Regards

Authorization variable not filled with authorization values

Hello All
I post a similar message earlier this week, I thought that my issue was solved, but it was not.
I've got a workbook with 4 differents queries.
There as an authorizations variable in each query. This variable properties is as follows :
**General tab**
Type of variable : characteristic value
Processing type : authorization
Characteristic : company code
**Details**
Variable represents : selection options
Variable is : optional
Variable is ready for input : yes
I've followed recommandations from OSS notes 976680
My issue is : if I run each query individually, variable is filled with authorized values
If I run the workbook, variable is not filled with authorized value, so when end user run the workbook, BW consider that end user wants to see all data and get "No authorization".
I don't understand why variable within the workbook doesn't show the authorized values and why the queries do.
Any suggestion about this issue ????
Thanks
Catherine

Hi
thanks for replying
I ran the query with UserID from RSECADMIN and I could open the query. But if I want to select 0profit_ctr I get this error No authorization to characteristic values.
I checked the log and this is the message.
Value Authorization

Value Authorization for Characteristic 0PROFIT_CTR

Authorization variables not filled up in Bex Portfolio

Hi there,
not sure if any of you guys came across this, but i have saved a web report on "bex portfolio"section. When i run this report, the authorization variables are not getting filled up.
but it works when i run the report using "new analysis" in Bex web analyzer tool.
does anyone has an idea?
I want to publish the reports in Bex portfolio because it is mush simpler for end users that don't have use Bex web analyzer and then open roles and then choose a report.
is there any easier way to do this?
thanks in advance.

Hi -
I assume that you might have kept the filters(Variables) in Default Values section. Only filters which are placed in Characterstic restrictions will appear in Universe Designer. Thanks!

Authorization variable - not work

I need to define authorization criteria using 0COMP_CODE.
1) I checked 0COMP_CODE as "Rilevant for authorization"
2) I defined the object authorization using RSSM
3) I put the authorization object into the roles (PFCG)
4) I defined an authorization variables into the queries
But when I execute the query, no authorization range is applied.
Where is my error?

Hi Fabio,
from your list it seems that everything is well...
so, in the maintenance of the authorization objects, I suggest you to activate the extended trace function for the reporting (Transaction RSSM).
Select key 'Authorization Check Log' to do this.
Enter a user in the field 'User' or select one via F4 help. Then activate the trace for this user with the pushbutton 'Create' (F5).
If the user is already entered, it is recommended to delete the old trace first.
After you have carried out the authorization-relevant activity, you can display the current status of the trace for the user entered in the 'User' field by using key 'Display' (F6).
After, remember to deactivate the trace for the entered user by using pushbutton 'Delete' (F2) and the existing trace of this user is deleted.
The system stores the trace in the database according to the key fields, thus, if you start the same query several times in succession with the same parameters (in the authorizations, too), the checks appear only once in the trace and not several times as in a log.
Hope it helps !
Ciao,
Roberto

RRI Jump Works with SAP GUI 7.20 Patch 3 but not with Patch 4

Hi,
I have an a RRI jump to an R/3 transaction working when executed via 7.20 GUI for Windows - Patch 3. However, the same jump does not work when executing with an updated GUI to patch level 4. There is no error message, nothing happens. I tried recreating the RRI with the new GUI patch and it didn't solve the problem.
I saw a couple of OSS Notes taking about enhanced security for patch 4, i.e. 1526048 & 1397000). Is this related?
Has anyone else had a similar issue?
Thanks,
Sheila

Hi Martin,
where did you get this info? Any official SAP note available? Do you encounter similar problems?
We, too, noticed that uploading and downloading files from directories with German Umlauts, this fails now,too. There may be problems with files, too, however, we did not check this so far. The previous SAP Gui, I guess it was 7.10, didn't have any problems with this.
I start wondering if SAP Germany have ever tested this? Or do they not use Umlauts anyway

RRI - Jump query

Hi SDN,
Both queries work indepedently but refuse to work through RRI/Jump. The receiver query returns 'No applicable data found' while there is data on both sides at the most granular level.
What values/parameters are passed from the sender query and how does the receiver query uses them to fetch data? Our sender query is over a Multiprovider and the receiver query is over an infoset.
I am more interested in the inner workings of RRI (to resolve this problem) than the procedure to set up jump which I know.
Also, on the field assignment button, the Check and delete buttons do not do anything. Any suggestions? And what is the purpose of field assignment window?
Thanks.
Saf.

By default, all char from the row are transferred as selections to the corresponding filters in the target query ('generically' option).
I am not sure whether something which is not a char in the sender can be sent to the receiver, probably not.
The definition is in the assignment tab. If you do a F1 on the individual cells there, it will explain how the assignment options are to be used.
- Added -
Right, what you say above. I am not sure if there is any way to pass the sender's variables to the receiver.

BW RRI JUMP TARGETS

I have to work on some SAP BW security stuff like authorizations at infoobject level and other related stuff (ex: RRI jump targets to specific TCODE in R3 - should not have access to other TCODES from the tcode which you are in R3). I am not sure what else I need to do and this is a Brand New implementation. So if anybody has worked on the BW security, can you please provide me with any documentation you have.
Any documentation/presentations or any guidance/links in this regard will be very helpful to me.
Thanks in advance for your help

SAP BO WebI Report on top of BI Bex Query with Authorization Variable

Hi,
We are trying to restrict row level data using BI 7.0 analysis authorization concept. We have an authorization variable in the Bex query and is working perfect in Bex Analyzer as well as in RSRT.
Now we are trying to achieve the same thing in BO webI. We created an Universe using Authentication Mode SSO. We are on BOXI 3.1 and implemented SSO. When we try to run the query in WebI we get the error
"A database error occured. The database error text is: Error in MDDataSetBW.GetCellData..(WS 10901)"
Just for testing purpose, when we use query filter in WebI and use Values from List, it is showing only the authorized value it supposed to show and runs well with that value selected. But we have to achieve this without the query filter in WebI.
So are we missing some thing here or any patch issue? Please share if you have done this type of reports in BO.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Moorthy.

Yes I did run MDXTEST and it gives error as 'you do not have sufficient authorization'. The reason it is giving, I guess and we are debugging that to confirm, is first it looks for 0BI_ALL and throws error which is not the case in Bex. See the following trace in RSRT trace.
InfoObject Properties Defined
Reading of Directly Assigned Authorizations
Direct Assignment Does Not Include Universal Authorization 0BI_ALL
Reading the Indirect Assignments with Authorization Object S_RS_AUTH
Does user have OBI_ALL?
No, the User Does Not Have Universal Authorizion 0BI_ALL
Negative Entry in SU53 Result of Failed Check for 0BI_ALL
Indirect assignments found; no universal authorization
Reduction of Authorization Dimensions on Characteristics in InfoProvider
Reduction Successful

Analysis Authorization Object not working

Hi Gurus,
I m working on BI 7.0, I have created an analysis authorization object zz_div for 0DIVISION characteristic.
For a given report i want a given user to view only data for '32' and '33' 0DIVISION.
I have followed the below steps but still the report shows all data instead of restricted one.
1)RSECADMIN -> Maintenance ->zz_div ->Create
2) Add 0DIVISION in Auth structure , and in details
I     EQ     32
I     EQ     33
3) Add 0TCAIPROV with I     EQ     0SD_C03
4) Add 0TCAACTVT, 0TCAKYFNM, 0TCAVALID, this having details as
I     CP     *
5) Then in User tab -> Assignment -> User -> Change-> Inserted ZZ_DIV-> Save
6) In Query created a Authorization variable(with no input prompt) and restricted 0DIVISION.
Following are the authorization object in that user's Role (Reporting Only)
S_RFC
S_TCODE
S_GUI
S_BDS_D
S_BDS_DS
S_OC_SEND
S_RS_AUTH - only having zz_div
S_RS_COMP
S_RS_COMP1
S_RS_ICUBE
S_RS_RSTT
S_RS_TOOLS
S_RS_PARAM
I have surfed lots of thread for this issue but not getting a solution
Tell me what i m missing in above or any additional setting need before creating analysis authorization

Error - Object variable or with block variable not set while running report

Hi,
I am trying to run BEx reports through portal.
However I am not able to run any report. I am getting following error.
"Run time error '91':
Object variable or with block variable not set"
This is not BEx installation or excel issue as I am not able to run reports using someone else's desktop also.
Also I have authorization to those reports. So doesn't seem to be authorization issue.
Please help me to resolve this problem.
Thank you in advance.

Webi Bypassing BEx Authorization Variable with SAP Exit

BEx query has Hierarchy Node Variable with Authorization as processing type. Its set as User Input ready
When the Webi report is refreshed, the LoVs appear as per the Authorization. However, if user doesn't select any value (pushes from right to left in variable screen) he gets NOT_AUTHORIZED error. Which is not intended, it should check the authorization in the background via SAP exit and populate the result. This is how it runs inBEx query.
However, in Webi it's giving NOT_AUTHORIZED error? This is how the product is designed to work or is it a bug.
I see several forum threads and SAP KBAs/notes but they are not answering my question. Could anyone please help.
I am ready to provide more details on this error.
Thanks,
Tilak

Hi,
this is how authorization variable would work in any of the clients and not just Web Intelligence.
You created an authorization variable which is configured as "read for input", so the user is getting prompted.
So In Web Intelligence the LoV shows up.
if the user does not select a value, then you are not sending a value, so you basically asking for all data and you are not allowed to see all data and therefore you are getting the message "no authorization".
if you are making authorization variables as ready for input then the user needs to select the proper values - regardless of the BI tool.
if you want the authorization to be check in the background then the authorization variable should be configured to not have ready for input.

Ingo Hilgefort

Authorization Variable values in BEX.

Hi all,
I have a report with an authorization object (for example 0COUNTRY) restricted to an authorization variable.
The object restricts the report according to the user's role. I want a user, with multiple country authorization, to be able to run the report on a few countries that he is authorized to see. For example he is authorized to see US DE FR & CH, and wants to run the report on DE & FR.
So, I created the authorization variable "Ready for Input", but now when the user runs the report he can insert other values but when he click on the options he can choose from (F4),he can't see the texts (DE - Germany, FR - France) and he gets the message:
"BRAIN655 - No values available or not authorized to display"
Full points for the answer promised.
Many thanks, Yaniv.

I've done these steps when I createted this object long ago. I have no problem with the authorization itself. it works great.
You are right, the selection option window shows the values US DE FR & CH, but I want the user to see the description also (when pressing F4) so he will be able to tell which countries to choose . that is when the message pops up.
It is like the user does not have the authorization to view the 0COUNTRY values and their texts.

Optional BEx query variables not working in WebI

Hi,
I have an Webi report based on Bex Query using BICS connection.
One characteristic is restricted with two variables. First an authorization variable and additional with an input ready variable.
This input ready variable is optional. When it comes up in webi and you choose a value it doesn't filter on it.
We are on BO 4.1. SP3 and BW 7.31.
With SAP_ALL the optional prompt is working, but for a user with limited access, the optional variable doesn't work.
I have already made a RSRT trace with a test user. But I'm not sure what's the problem.
Trace returned:
S_RS_AUTH RC=4 --> BIAUTH=0BI_ALL; type=RF;name=BICS_PROV_OPEN;
But I don't want to give the user 0BI_ALL, otherwise my analysis authorizations for this info object would be obsolete.
Any ideas?
Thx and Regards,
Katharina

Hi Neetika,
thank you for your advice!
I tried the filter without authorziation variable and it was working.
I in addition I tried another option: I defined auth variable as input ready and deleted filter variable and that would work working.
With this setting I recognized that for the authorization variable all allowed values are set as default values! If you execute query with SAP_ALL no default is set, but with limited access the allowed values are set as default.
This may be the problem here. I don't know if this behaviour is by design or if there is a problem with rights?
But now I know where the problem comes from.
Regards,
Katharina

RRI-Jump Queries for only Selected BPs

Hi, I have a BP Master data Report on which Iu2019m using RRI-jump to the Order detail Report for selected BPs. Iu2019m ok up to the point displaying Single or All BPs on the Jump target. But what I also trying to do is to run RRI report for only selected BPs. So Iu2019m expecting selected multiple BPs on the RRI Query Variable Screen (it is neither single nor all).
In the WAD report i have used two command: Set Filter Values Using Different Sources command (SET_SELECTION_STATE_BY_BINDING) and RRI.
There are some post but i didn't find any solution. Could anyone please suggest. Thanks
