BEx Analyzer Varibale screen cancellation results in inactive buttons

Hi All,
In my workbook when I cancel the variable screen pop up it results in an inactive workbook. That is, after the cancellation the buttons will not work. We cannot do any operation in it. We can only work in the workbook once we enter the design mode and exit from it.
SAP note 413448 says to upgrade patch. But it is for BW system and BW FEP version 2.0. We are on BI 7.0.
Is there any other alternative for this problem.
Thanks and Regards,
Jerry

Hm, Is it so. Could be some program error? As in Note 1424498 - BEx Web 7.0: Issues after Cancel in Variable Screen http://goo.gl/Dd8fw. Other option is to personalize the variables.You can check this post for more details. http://goo.gl/g4OQZ. Alternatively have you tried the following :-
1. In General Tab --> Refresh WB on Open (enable)
2. In Variables Tab --> Process Variables on Refresh (disable)

BEx Analyzer Not showing report result in canceling "Change variable Icon"

Hi Experts,
Do we have any settings in BEx Analyzer for retrive the Result set even after I click 'Change variable Icon' in Toolbar and cancel the variable pop-up window??
Eg: My query Result is displayed in Analyzer selecting some vaues in Selection screen.And when I click the Change Variable Icon from 'Analyzer Toolbar' its showing me 'Select values for variable' window.If I select the cancel button in it, then Query result becom blank showing the message "There are variables; change variable values". Do Analyzer having an option or settings to keep the result even if i cancel the variable selection from "change variable icon".
Thanx in advance..

Sari-
If SAP provides such a function, I have not found it. The way I understand it., the change variable value initiates the OLAP back end. This clears the Presentation Manager front end, and clears the 'results' that are displayed on your workbook. If you cancel the OLAP run, the front end clear still executes.
HOWEVER... if you turn OFF Automatic Refresh before clicking on Change Variable Values and then clicking on Cancel, the presentation manager will not write any changes to your workbook. So that is your best solution.

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.

BEx analyzer variable screen Copy and paste the input values functionality

Hi all,
in bw 3.5 we have functionality on the variable screen we can do directly copy the values and paste in the input screen. But in BI 7.0 BEx analyzer I am not able to find it. Is it required to apply any patches?
Please guide me on this.
Thanks

Hello All,
We have a similar issue only in 2004s query designer when we execute a query via the web. We have the variable set up to accept multiple single values and we can pick multiple single values and add them, however, we cannot paste a list of, for example, personnel numbers from an excel spreadsheet into the web selection box to add multiple single values at one time. Does this functionality exist?

Bex analyzer variable screen input ready?

Hi Experts,
If we open a query in the Bex analyzer (BI 7.0 netweaver 2004s), it seems only possible for us to enter variables in the dialog screen after the pushbuttons Ctrl + K for each variable. Is it possible to change the default setting in the BEx analyser variable screen, so that the variables are ready for input (without the ctrl + k)?
In the SAPhelp information, only the following information is provided.
Prerequisites
In the BEx Analyzer, you have executed a query that contains variables and you want to change or personalize one or all of the variables in the query.
Procedure
1.      In the analysis toolbar, choose Change Variable Values or in the menu, choose BEx Analyzer ® Change Variable Values.
The Select Values for Variables dialog box appears. Follow the instructions to select a value to assign to the variable.
2.      Specify a variant name and values for the variables for which you want to change the current values.
Switch to display mode or use the pushbuttons Ctrl + K to enter values.
Kind regards
Dennis

BEx Analyzer variable screen not showing for user

Hello,
I have a BEx query that shows the variable screen to enter the query parameters when I run the query but when the user runs it, he is not given the variable screen and therefore cannot enter the variables. Both the user and myself are running the query in BEx Analyzer (Excel).
The user is new to BEx. Is there perhaps some security or role setting that needs to be changed? Something else?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Paul,
I am also facing exactly the same problem as you were facing. Could you please tell, whether your problem got solved? If yes, then would you please provide the solution for the same?
Thanks in advance,

NW 2004s Bex Analyzer Variable screen Vs 3.X Bex Analyzer

Hi,
In 3.X, if you select refresh for a workbook having multiple queries, then the function refreshes all queries and the system displays the variable screen for each query in the workbook.
In NW 2004s, if i have the same workbook and refreshing the workbook will display only one variable screen having all the variables all the queries are using.
This is good. Except for refreshing workbook which is already having different "material number" in different queries.
In this scenario how do we refresh the workbook and keep the material number different for the queries the workbook is using. The variable screen in NW 2004s will show only one variable "material number" and assigning a material number will change the workbook
(Implies both the queries will be using same material number after refresh-hence unable to keep the workbook same)
We are on SPS 8/FEP 801.
We applied the note 953402 (variables are displayed when you refresh all queries)
After applying the note we added ANALYZER-VARIABLE_REFRESH_3X=X in the RSADMIN table.
Still in NW 2004s, only one VARIABLE SCREEN is displayed will all the variables the query is using.
Please let me know if any information is available.
Thankyou,
-Sini

Hi,
We applied to OSS NOTE # 953402 inorder to prompt the varaible like 3.X. This note did not do anything. Please advice if any other note is available or not.
Having a common or (one) variable screen is difficult to maintain. I had lot of problem trying to keep a workbook same as in 3.X. Diificult to perform workbook conversion.
Example:
I am performing workbook conversion. This workbook which I am trying to convert has multi queries.
In one query it shows material number starting with say for eg: BA, CB and no restriction is given for cal year/month and this query has plan version as mandatory variable. (NOTE: no hierarchy)
Other query has hierarchy for material number and the hierarchy shows material starting with BA01* and cal/year restricted to 01/2006 and 02/2006.
When I convert the workbook from 3.X to 2004s
1.) hierarchy drilldown icon disappears when I open the workbook in NW 2004s Analyzer
2.) Inorder to get the drilldown icon back I clicked on "refresh" which doesn't not work consistenly.
So I always click on "variable" icon and entered the values for the mandatory variable (plan version) and assigned hierarchy (XYZ).
3.) After executing it, both of my query shows hierarchy.
4.) I turned off hierarchy in one of query, set filter value for material number to BA, CB.....( NOTE: Inorder to turn off the hierarchy I have to first deactivate it and then refresh it to make it work.
NOTE: later I was unable to turn it ON.
5.) The other query has hierarchy orginally(before conversion) it has 3 level drilldown and after converting it just has only one level drilldown. ( I was not able to get the original one back. I was able to filter it my material number say BA01* and cal year.
RESULT: Unable to make the workbook indentical to 3.X. Conversion was not that succesfull.
NOTE:
1. The hierarchy activation/deactivation does not work properly.
2. For eg: Select filter value for material number, the text/key shows the expected value. But If I search for those values I do not get the result. The search on material with hierarchy does not seems to work properly.
Please let me know if you need any further details and also let me know if there any OSS Note available.
Thankyou,

What's the sense of "NOT" in the BEx-Analyzer selection-screen?

Hi specialists,
the selection-screen Queries in the BEx-Anlyzer presents the following selection-options:
"="
"<="
">"
">="
"<"
as well as their inverses:
"not"
"not ="
"not <="
"not >"
"not >="
"not <"
"not []"
"not *"
While most of this options are redundant (because "not <=" is the same as ">") I absolutely cannot find any case where the above maked "not" makes any sense.
In other words: Could somebody please gimme a hint what's the difference between "not" and "not =".

Hi Stefan,
I'm not sure weather we are talking about the same thing.
When I use the the "more"-button (multselection-screen) of the selelection-screen, then I can comprehend your eplaination: The tab's are "and" connected - while the rows within a tab are "or" connected.
But without the multiselection-dialog, there's still the option "not" in the drop-down list left to the value-field on the selection-screen. But I can't see any possibilty to filter the same variable multiple times here. So the example you mentioned doesn't fit here.
Perhaps in some different way:
If I choose "NOT" for the salesorg-variable, without providing a value followed by [enter]/check, then the "not" option is changed to "".
If I choose "NOT" for the salesorg-variable, providing a value followed by [enter]/check, then the "not" option is changed to "=".
In which case does the "not"-option "survive" the check without beeing corrected to any other option?
(btw: I miss a possibilty for attaching images in the sdn-forum! - That would make some explainations much easier)

BeX Analyzer Variable screen takes long time

Hello,
Recently migrated 3.5 workbooks/queries to 7x.
When clicking on 'Change Variable values' button, the variable pop up screen takes about 10 seconds to appear for some users.
It takes somewhere between 30-40 seconds for some users...
All users are in same patch level. In 3x all users were experiencing same time delays.
But from 7x it has got worse. Now we are on 730 release, Patch 7.
Searched forums and SAP Notes. Didnt get any good solutions.
Some said clearing %tmp% files helps. It works for 1 or 2 users only. Its not the solution.
Any other solutions please?
Thanks

The problem is not associated with the selection/results.
Problem is the time it takes to bring up the variable screen itself.
Thanks

NW 2004s Bex Analyzer Variable screen problem

Our BW system was upgraded from 3.1 to NW 2004s (SPS 8/FEP 9).
When we refresh the query in the workbook that has multiple queries, then the variable screen displays the variables from all queries.
For example: Query 1 has Posting Period single value variable, Query 2 - Posting Periods interval variable. When Query 1 is refreshed, the Variable input screen will display both variables - Posting Period single value variable and Posting Periods interval variable.
Please let me know if you need any further details and if there are any OSS notes available.
Thank you,
Elena.

Hello Prakash
In BW 3.5 we had, if we have a Workbook with more than one Query, while refresh, if our cursor used to be outside the Query area, then it used to ask "Do you want to refresh all Queries on Workbook", if we say, it used to refresh all the Queries, by Promting Variable Screen multiple times.
"Melt" kind of function in this case should help.
But do we have method to refresh one query of the sheet only and not rest of them. I am afraid you may say no. But thought to recheck at least once more.

Variable screen not popping up in BEx Analyzer

Experts,
I'm facing a wierd situation while executing queries in 3.5 BEx Analyzer. When the query is executed using 3.5 BEx Analyzer varibale screen does not pop and report strats running wide open. The Varible input is optional. But if the report in executed using Web (From the 3.5 Query Designer) variable screen pops up. This happens with the same user ID.
Please let me know if you have any ideas, could this be something realted to authorizations. In the meantime, i'm trying to change the varibale to mandatory and see if the variable screen pops up.
Thanks

Hello
The standard behavior is not show the variable screen if it has no mandatory variables. In the webtemplate you may have the parameter forcing to show the variable screen added in the code. It is something like "force variable screen". Please check if you can see that parameter.

BEx Analyzer report "New Formula", "Scaling Factor" property not working

Hi Experts,
I have created a New Formula(Ex:- Dispatches * 2) in BEx Analyzer report. The result of the "New Formula" is 2000. When I maintain Scaling Factor as "1000" to the New Formula properties, the result should be 2 but here 2000 is coming again.
When I maintain this property to the existing keyfigure in Analyzer report, it is working fine.
Please help me in this whether Scaling Factor can be applied to the New Formula or not in BEx Analyzer report. If it works, what changes we have to make to the New formula.
SAPKW73010 is applied already to SAP BW-730
Please see the attachment.

Sree,
Is the variable ABC the new one that you've created with Scaling factor setting given? The message you get on doing a syntax check on the query indicates that settings are ignored for use beyond the query.
And if this is the case, this is a known issue.
However such settings will work on existing keyfigures as it is in your case.
What you can hence do for this new variable is that if you are developing reports on top of this bex query, you can make the scaling factor setting at the report level.
Let me know if this works for you.

Srilakshmi B

BI 7.0 Bex Analyzer Workbook - Convert to formula function features

Hello,
when using the convert to formula function in a BI 7.0 Bex Analyzer Workbook (WB) the result area becomes completely static.
1.) Is there a possibility to add drill downs / across into an already converted to formula WB?
2.) I inserted drop down boxes to allow F4 like selections, however those are pointless if several characteristics are being used i.e. the keyfigure results get blanked out. Is there another way to do this at all?
3.) Could someone provide me with a real live example / whitepaper how the convert to formula function can be used?
Many thanks for any feedback on this.
Regards
Christian

It does become static and all the workbook gets all the excel property.
The key figures are now calulated on the basis of your data provider from the server as a formula in each cell..
I had used to populate my key figure only for the required values of a characteristic.
