BEX large amount of filter values

We have BEX Reports within webtemplates for the users. They want to filter a large amount of values (about 100)for e.g. the materialnumber. The materialnumbers for the filter differ from day to day.
Does anybody know how it is possible to add so many values in the filter or in the variable screen without typing them one after another?
Is it possible to add the filter values via an excel sheet?
Thanks for tips.
Eva

Hi,
just some addition.
Filling a variable (a select-option table) with lots of values (like you want maybe 100 entries) may lead to a short dump 'SQL STATEMENT TOO LARGE'.
In that case, if this selection is not too dynamic, I would recommend to use hierarchies and do the restriction on hierarchy nodes instead of single entries.

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,

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!

Bex Report Designer - Large amount of data issue

Hi Experts,
I am trying to execute (on Portal) report made in BEx Report Designer, with about 30 000 pages, and the only thing I am getting is a blank page. Everything works fine at about 3000 pages. Do I need to set something to allow processing such large amount of data?
Regards
Vladimir

Hi Sauro,
I have not seen this behavior, but it has been a while since I tried to send an input schedule that large. I think the last time was on a BPC NW 7.0 SP06 system and it worked OK. If you are on a recent support package, then you should search for relevant notes (none come to mind for me, but searching yourself is always a good idea) and if you don't find one then you should open a support message with SAP, with very specific instructions for recreating the problem from a clean input-schedule.
Good luck,
Ethan

How to Add a New Filter Value in BEx WAD to Display All Result

Hi experts,
I want to add a new filter value in BEx WAD to display all data records. The scenario is as follows:
The status field can have two values: Active ("A) and Inactive ("I").
But the requirement is to have a third value to display all the data records (Active + Inactive). E.g. the value can be "G". The purpose is to increase the understandability for report users.
Does anyone have an idea?
Regards,
Joon

Hi Vineet,
thanks for your reply. The problem is that there are only 2 values available for this Characteristic: "A" or "I".
The requirement is to have a third value "G" (instead of the default "All Value") due to historical reason, because all future report users have been working with R/3 reports for quite some time and they are accustomed to using "G" for displaying all values.
Is there any possibility to realize this?
Thanks,
Joon

Query Bex direct input filter value doesn't work

Hi experts,
when I use a bex report and direct insert a value in filter on the left; the report doesn't execute the request.
For exemple I would like to filter a value in 0COSTCENTER; I inserted direct value on the filter cell and the report doesn't return the aspected value.
How I can resolve this issue?
The query is based on planning level.
Thank you for any answers.
Valerio

Hi Leszek,
At the left I digit a value for “Centro di Costo” (0COSTCENTER); for exemple I want to digit the value 8213-01 (or IT01/8213-01) and then 'enter'... The report does a refresh but then don’t execute the filter.
The same procedure runs without error if I select the value from menu “select filter value”.

BEx Web Application Designer - Info Field - Display Static Filter Values

Hi there,
I'm not sure if anyone is having the same issue I am having... but here goes.
I have the option DISPLAY STATIS FILTER VALUES turned on in my 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN & 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN_EXPORT web print templates for printing to PDFs from the Query Designer.
- If I have it turned on, all the filters (including the dynamic) are displayed with about 4 rows of empty space between each line.
- If I have it turned off, the dynamic filters are displayed normally.
Does anyone know how to affect the font and spacing of this setting?
Note: As it is the the standard print template, I can't add the perameters of which filter to display.
Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks, Audrey

Hi Edward,
Help to your answer I could understand my mistake. I was customizing the Data Binding part instead of the Internal Display.
I did the following :
[ ]Display Static Filter Values
[ ]Display Genertal Text Elements
[ ]Display Dynamic Filter Values
[x]Display Variables
[ ] Only Variable with values
And it is working now.
FYI: no need to uninstall and reinstall the Bex tools, it worked directly with the latest patch.

Maximum number of filter values in BEx web

Hi
Is it possible to change the maximum number of filter values displayed when running a query?
Example: When the user runs a query and has to put in a material number, he pushes the button which shows him the possible values for input. The number of values displayed per page is 14 and the maximum number of pages is 72. The maximum number of values is 1000. If the user tries to search, he only searches amongst the 1000 possible values. Is it possible to change the number of possible values shown to unlimited?
We use NW04s BI SP09.
Kind regards
Erik

Hi Experts
I have the same problem , the maximum number of hits si set to 200 , ant the variable contains over 300 values , it is a variable based on a time charactersitic , and the values appear in ascending order , i mean the first 01.1900 , and the last value 03.2012 . i wonder if there is a way to change the order of sort to descending order . I mean the first value 03.2012 and the last one 01.1900 . I attach the image .
Thanks for your help.

Select Filter Value

This is an on-going performance issue that I am bogged down with. The best idea would definitely get 10 points and all the other great ideas will be well rewarded for sure! Please help...
The reports on our system run very slow (15 minutes on the average) though our cube has just about 10 million records. What bothers the user the most is that even when they go for "select filter value" on any of the "free characteristics", it takes 10 lazy minutes for the selection screen to show up. We have indices created on the master data and the SAP indices on the Cube dimensions are supposed to be good enough for faster query/selection screen retreival especially when the number of records are just 10 million. RSRV test came out to be fine on DB and cube indices. Any great ideas to improve the time it takes to bring up the selection screen?
Regarding the general query performance, we already have query cache and several aggregates in place. We use BEx, so how effective are the reporting agents on top of these? Please provide some knowledgeable comments to improve the general query performace as well.

The Select Filter Value time almost certainly has to do with the F4 options you have set for those InfoObjects. You can change this for the the InfoObject, or change the setting just for the cube using the Structure Specifc Settings.
Depending on the setting, using F4 for an InfoObject may simply read the Master Data, or it actually interrogates the the master data and the cube to see what values exist, or actually looks to see what values would be available given all the other query criteria. So as you can imagine, the response time of the options can vary a lot.
As far as query performance in general, try searching this forum, you'll find lots of threads. Also try SDN's Performance Tuning Knowledge Center.
I'm assuming you regularly compress the cube(s). Have you verified the aggregates are being used most of the time and confirmed the the value of the aggregate by comparing explain plans.
A lot of issues may relate back to the data model you are using. You can look at adding secondary indices on some of the dimension tables of you have some large dimensions that get receive full table scans because the BW system built index does not relate well to the query restrictions that are actually used.

Restrict filter values that are shown in the selection screen

Hi Experts
1) Is it possible to restrict the filter values that are shown in the selection screen in BEx web? When a user are asked to enter a material number and uses the selection button in BEx web, he should only see material numbers for one specific plant. How is this done?
2) Is it possible to remove the selection button for å characteristic filter in the selection screen in BEx web? The selection button I am talking about is the button to the right of where you enter the filter value (two white papers on top of each other). If there is no solution for question 1 we have to go for question 2 solution.
We are using BI 04s, SP 09.
Kind regards
Erik

Hi Erik,
It seems that you would like the user to see value for 1 single plant. If the Plant Value is fixed then you can use this value in the Query and hardcode it.> in the query go to the Plant Chrac and keep a constant value of the Plant.
How ever if you need this value to be dynamic then use a variable for customer exit and populate this value using ABAP.

Jasprit

Changing Filter Values from Macro in BW 7.0

Hello,
in my Workbook I need to change Filter Values of some queries in runtime.
The first thing I found was BEx API reference for BW 3.5, but I wasn't able to make these functions work. After all I found this code:
    Dim BEx As Object
    Set BEx = Application.Run("BExAnalyzer.xla!GetBEx")
    Dim dp As Object
    Set dp = BEx.DataProviders.Item(sDP)
    Dim dimension As Object
    Set dimension = dp.Request.Dimensions.Item("0CALDAY")
    Dim filters As Object
    Set filters = dimension.filters
    If Not BEx.ServerStateExists Then
    MsgBox " Please refresh before using this Makro"
    Exit Function
    End If
    Call filters.SetFilterValue(sFilter) 'this sets the filter value
But using this code I wasn't able to set more than 1 filter value, because the function SetFilterValue removes all previous filters, but now I need to set more than 1 filters.
I also tried to separate different filter values with comma, but this did not help.
Also I will be glad if someone could give me a link on documentation about BEx objects in Excel.
Thanks in advance,
Pavel Baronov

How can I pass a filter value to another report?

I'm using a filter within a formula of a field. For example: (FILTER("Facts - Actuals Ledger"."Actual" USING ("Time"."Fiscal Quarter" = '2012 Q 2'))-FILTER("Facts - Actuals Ledger"."Actual" USING ("Time"."Fiscal Quarter" = '2012 Q 1')))*-1
What the above is doing is calculating the variance between Q1 and Q2. My issue is when I drill on this value to a more detailed report, it's combining the Q1 and Q2 values, instead of showing the difference. I'm trying to avoid having to hard code the drill report and was wondering if there's any way to pass the calculated FILTER to the other report?
Thanks.

Hi,
I presume that you want to show the the difference between a prompted quarter and its previous quarter?
If so, I would use the Ago Time Series Function to create a new logical measure for prior quarter e.g.
ago("Facts - Actuals Ledger"."Actual", "Time"."Quarter", 1)
Note that the function should contain the time dimension level for quarter. The 1 at the end is the offset e.g. 1 quarter ago. This measure will now return the prior quarter value for whatever quarter is prompted.
Create a prompt for your report for Fiiscal Quarter, and set a filter in the report for the same column with an operator of Is Prompted.
Add the base measure ("Facts - Actuals Ledger"."Actual") and your new Ago measure to the report. When you prompt the report with a quarter, these two columns will show the Actual amount for the promted quarter and the previous quarter respectively. Now all you need to do is subtract one from the other.
Now, when you drill to another report, the filter value of the prompted quarter will be passed across. Apply the same logic to define measures in the drill report, receiving the prompted quarter only.
Note that you can also use Time Series Functions in the column formula when creating the analysis.
Please mark if helpful / correct,
Andy

I believe that insufficient RAM may be the source of some of your problems. If you have a RAM of somewhere 4 to 8GB, you will experience smoother computing. 3GB doesn't seem right, so you might want to learn more by going to this site:

Create new table , 1 column has large amount of data, column type ?

Hi, sure this is a noob question but...
I exported a table from sql server, want to replicate in oracle.
It has 3 columns, one of the columns has the configuration for reports, so each field in the column has a large amount of text in it, some upwards of 30k characters.
What kind of column do I make this in oracle, I believe varchar has a 4k limit.
creation of the table...
REATE TABLE "RPT_BACKUP"
"NAME" VARCHAR2(1000 BYTE),
"DATA"
"USER" VARCHAR2(1000 BYTE)

Azure Cloud service fails when sent large amount of data

This is the error;
Exception in AZURE Call: An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to http://xxxx.cloudapp.net/Service1.svc. This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being
aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details.
Calls with smaller amounts of data work fine. Large amounts of data cause this error.
How can I fix this??

Go to the web.config file, look for the <binding> that is being used for your service, and adjust the various parameters that limit the maximum length of the messages, such as
maxReceivedMessageSize.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.servicemodel.basichttpbinding.maxreceivedmessagesize(v=vs.100).aspx
Make sure that you specify a size that is large enough to accomodate the amount of data that you are sending (the default is 64Kb).
Note that even if you set a very large value here, you won't be able to go beyond the maximum request length that is configured in IIS. If I recall correctly, the default limit in IIS is 8 megabytes.

Select the filter value display "No Entries Found"

Hi All,
I have a problem with the bex query. Query is built on a multiprovider.
I am using restricted key figure with constant selection checked for the characteristic that is available only in one cube.
Because of this when I right click and select Filter values on the free characteristics from the report, I get (No Entries Found)
If I remove constant selection from the key figure, report works fine.
Can someone help with a solution;
Thanks,
Biju

Assuming your data is coming from only one cube...
Drag 0INFOPROV in your Filter and restrict it with your your Cube
You can find 0INFOPROV in Dimensions under Data package
Hope this helps.
