Bex variable possible entries based on input other variable

Hello,
In Bex I have two variables for two characteristics.
In the selection screen I want the possible entries of variable 'B' to be dependent of the input I filled in for variable 'A'. For example, I have two lines of data in the cube:
         Char 'A', Char 'B'
1         VA         HOL
2         VB          DUI
So when I select the value 'VA' in Variable 'A', I want the value 'HOL' to be the only possible entry(F4 where the user can choose from) for variable 'B'.
Is there any possiblity to achieve this.
Thanks in advance
Ton

Thanks, I already feared it is not possible

Benefitng from possible entries for fields added by EEW

Dear experts
I have added new tables and fileds into BP master data via EEWB. There are possible entries for these fileds that can be benefited from during BP data maintenance..
I'd like to ask you that is it possible to make visible these possible entries(you know by the function key F4) for the fields I have added from EEW. If so, could anyone explain?
thanks in advance
Mehmet

Hi,
I have added new tables into BP master data via EEWB also, and it's working perfect in CRM GUI including input help (F4 possible entries), but the input help doesn't work in Web Client UI.
Anyone has experience to enable the input help in Web Client UI for the added table in BP master?
Please share with me.
Thanks in advance.

BEx Variable input Issue

Hi everyone,
                   I have an issue with Input Parameters in BEx Variable Screen. For Example, I have included Customer Name in the Variable Screen. Then , the user says, he does not remember the complete customer name. There will be thousands of names. Instead he remembers only a few Initial Characters. For example, if the customer Name is ZSAMSUNG. He only remembers ZS out of the whole name.
In that case, he wants to enter ZS* in the Variable Selection Screen for Customer Name. But this is not working in BEx. It says invalid Parameters. I have created a Characteristic variable with Manual Entry.
Currently, I am working on BI7.0, Support Package 11.
Please provide your valuable inputs.
1) Is it possible create a Customer Exit Variable for the same with some logic.
Regards,
Samiir

Hi Samir
Sry, but I think that this functionallity is allredy usable in Bex.
When the variable-screen appears, the customer has to press F4 for help.
Another screen pos up.
-> in that screen, in the FIRST ROW, the customer can seach by therms:
   in the first column: KEYS
   secound column: Text
   other columns: attributes if available
he also has the possibility to search with *
like ZS* for ZSAMSUNG
try out, it works

Crystal Report not Adopting all possible Dropdown Values from BEx Variable

Hi all,
I am having an issue in a Crystal report where the drop down parameter that is sourced from a BEx query variable does not include all the possible values in the cube (or in master data). After learning my lesson the first time of not changing the name of the variable or changing it to dynamic (this causes it to break), I had the understanding that the value list may not be complete when running the report in the Crystal client or in the viewer, however, I thought it should be correct when published to the BOE and run in infoview. I am getting the same incomplete list in infoview. I published the report into infoview using the Crystal 2008 desktop client, not the /CRYSTAL/RPTADMIN transaction.
I know there are a couple ways of sourcing a Crystal report from a BW query - using MDX vs. not, etc. I created this report using the SAP menu > "Create new report from a query". I don't believe Crystal will easily let you use that menu option to create a report off two BW queries joined together (which is what I am doing), so I built it off one originally (using the SAP menu), then added the other later on. I have the checkbox for "Use MDX driver with support for Multiple structures" checked. In database expert, my "Selected Tables" both are of database type "SAP BW Query".
Do I have the right understanding of how the value list should work when sourced from a BEx variable? If so, can anyone offer any suggestions for getting the value list populated correctly?
Here's some info:
Crystal version: CR2008, version 12.2.4.507
BOE version 3.1
SAP BW 7.01 EhP 6
Thanks,
Chad

Hi,
- in the Crystal Reports designer the list of values is not online and there is a maximum number of values - configured by a registry setting:
(windows 7)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\SAP\BWQueryReportWrapper
Key: MaxPickListSize
and correct you can not change the name of the variable or set it to dynamic as the definition is based on the BEx query.
I know there are a couple ways of sourcing a Crystal report from a BW query - using MDX vs. not, etc. I created this report using the SAP menu > "Create new report from a query". I don't believe Crystal will easily let you use that menu option to create a report off two BW queries joined together (which is what I am doing), so I built it off one originally (using the SAP menu), then added the other later on. I have the checkbox for "Use MDX driver with support for Multiple structures" checked. In database expert, my "Selected Tables" both are of database type "SAP BW Query".
The checkbox on the Multi Structure is not for the option to combine 2 Bex queries - it is for Bex queries with 2 structures and the BW query driver has been deprecated already and you have to use the MDX Driver.
Do I have the right understanding of how the value list should work when sourced from a BEx variable? If so, can anyone offer any suggestions for getting the value list populated correctly?
in Crystal Reports Designer the list is static and when you publish the report using the BW Publishing to your SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise system the list becomes dynamic in InfoView.

WEBI prompt based on bex variable suppress not assigned hashtag value in LOV

Hi,
is it possible to suppress the "Not assigned (#)" value from the list of values in a webi prompt based on a bex variable?
This "Not assigned" value is something BW specific, BW adds this to each characteristic automatically?!
WEBI:
RSRT:
It needs to work in WEBI, not only in RSRT, and the filtering of data still needs to work.
For rsrt it works, when you exclude the not assigned value in "Filter > Characteristic Restrictions" and use the bex variable in/through "Filter > Default Values", but this does not work in WEBI, because the BEX Query Data is not filtered on the in the prompt selected value.
Thanks.
Regards
David

Thanks David for a quick reply !
I could manage to avoid # values in WebI prompt using BAdI implementation, here is the brief:
Problem:
WebI report prompt (which shows BEx variable) list of values shows blanks or # . Rrequirement was to avoid these blanks or #
Environment:
BW 7.3
BO 4.0
BW Cube > BEx Query > OLAP Connection > WebI report
Solution:
InfoObject Level1 in BW had # values in masterdata, this could not be deleted since it was in use with other Cubes.
Vaurable Var_Level1 displays # when pressed F4 running BEx query and in list of values in WebI report prompt.
I implemented BAdI on Level1 info object and variable Var_Level1.
Steps to implement BAdI are as in following link
BEx Query - Control the values which are shown on F4
Used following code to elimitate #.
METHOD IF_RSR_VARIABLE_F4_RESTRICT~GET_RESTRICTION_FLAT.
DATA: l_s_range     LIKE LINE OF c_t_range.
DATA: l_var_range   LIKE LINE OF i_t_var_range.
DATA: IT_MZLEVELS TYPE TABLE OF /BIC/MZLEVELS,
WA_MZLEVELS LIKE LINE OF IT_MZLEVELS.
DATA: L_ZLEVEL1     TYPE /BIC/OIZEVEL1.
IF i_vnam EQ 'ZV_LEVEL1'.
SELECT /BIC/ZLEVEL1
FROM /BIC/MZLEVELS
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE IT_MZLEVELS
WHERE OBJVERS       = 'A'.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
SORT IT_MZLEVELS BY /BIC/ZLEVEL1.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM IT_MZLEVELS COMPARING /BIC/ZCLV1GP.
DELETE IT_MZLEVELS WHERE /BIC/ZLEVEL1 = ''.
l_s_range-iobjnm = i_iobjnm.
l_s_range-sign   = 'I'.
l_s_range-option = 'EQ'.
LOOP AT IT_MZLEVELS INTO WA_MZLEVELS.
l_s_range-low    = WA_MZLEVELS-/BIC/ZLEVEL1.
APPEND l_s_range TO c_t_range.
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.

Modifying the cell content based on input parameter from variable screen.

I am trying to modify a cell content in the BEX Web Application Report based on the input parameter from the variable screen.
I am already aware of how to change the cell content by creating a new ABAP class and inheriting CL_RSR_WWW_MODIFY_TABLE.
I do not know how to get the input parameter variable from the variable screen in my custom class ZCL_RSR_WWW_MODIFY_TABLE. I am not very familiar with ABAP and would appreciate your help.
Thanks
Sowmini

in the start method
define a work area like line of n_r_data_set->N_SX_VERSION_20A_1-TXT_SYMBOLS
loop at n_r_data_set->N_SX_VERSION_20A_1-TXT_SYMBOLS into <wa> ..
endloop .
This will have all the filter, variable values entered in the selection.

Way to make Reader Mobile (IOS/Android) to fill in form cells based on input made in other cell?

Hi, Is there a way to make Acrobat Reader Mobile (IOS/Android) to fill in form cells based on input in another cell?
I made a timesheet where based on an activity code input in a dropdown box the description corresponding the activity code is displayed automatically in another cell.(see below)
This is working flawlessly as long as I am using a PC, however does not work on any kind of phone.(I suppose this feature is not supported on Acrobat Mobile yet)
My question is if anybody can suggest an alternative method for mentioned feature which works also on phones?
Any suggestion would be much appreciated
In the Format field:
if(event.willCommit)
console.println(event.value);
switch(event.value)
   case "    1      01":
    this.getField("REMARK1").value = "Offloading";
    break;
   case "    2      01":
    this.getField("REMARK1").value = "Preparation";
    break;
   case "   19     44":
    this.getField("REMARK1").value = "Support-3rd party insp/contract.";
    break;   case " ":
    this.getField("REMARK1").value = " ";
    break;
Regards: Robert

Try getting rid of that console.println statement. If that doesn't help, it should work if you convert that from a format script of the dropdown to a calculate script of the REMARK1 field.

F4 help for BEx variables

Hi!
Could anyone help me in implementation the following scenario:
I have the BEx variable available for input. Then users press F4 to view possible values for this variable, I need to output the certan list of values (the list is defined by quite complex logic - user algorithm).
So, Do I have the possibility to catch the SAP processing of F4 help and program my logic for the output list (some kind of exit)?
Please suggest any decision or the source of information according this issue.

Hello Marina Dolgopolova,
Are you able to find the solution for this requirement. If so pl let me know.

Re: Passing Bex variable values to javascript in WAD 7.0

Hi,
Is there any possibility to pass a Bex variable value to the java script in WAD 7.0 so that i can create a pop up and display the value.
I found a post explaining its possibility in WAD 3.5. but i am not able to find how it can be done in WAD 7.0
Any inputs will help.

Hi Shafi...
Yes it can be done. Insert a Dataprovier Information Item and a Script Item with a code for querying the xml island that provide the infomation you need. I hope this helps. If you need help with the code let me know.

Take influence on search help (F4) for BEx variables

Hi Experts,
we use BI 7.3.
Within the release 3.x we had the possibility to influence the search help of Bex Variables via the transaction se12 -> search help --> search help exit.
This fuba is still used for the search help in the screen to maintain masterdata. However it is not used anymore for the search help in the selection screen for BEx variables.
Do I have any new possibilities to take influence on the values shown in the search help? I don't want to show all values in the masterdata table, and not even all values which are stored in the infoProvider.
Thanks,
best regards
Frederike

Dear Frederike,
In that case you should maintain the read mode as "Only Posted Values for Navigation" ; This means only values that are part of the query results are used for the input value request . This mode is called Q.
RSA1 -> Info-object display -> Business Explorer Tab -> Query Def. Filter Value Selection -> change to Q Mode..
You can overwrite the value in Infoprovider level as well. Goto Info-provider -> Right click Infooprovide specific properties -> change there as well..
Regards,
Arvind

How to get data using BEx variable

I've build a universe upon a Bex query with a variable.
When refreshing a WeBi report upon this universe with the filter (BEx variable) it works fine and returns data. The same does the QaaWS.
But when I use this QaaWS as a source for Xcelsius dashbord it doesn't return any data. The input value for the variable is the same in all cases, e.g. K4/2009.
What should be done to fix the issue?

What Xcelsius patch version you use?
If I recall correct, this is known issue that was suppose to be fixed in Xcelsius 2008 SP2

BEx Variable Key/Name swap when used as Prompt in WebI report

Hi,
We are using Bex Variables in a Query used as a base for a BOBJ Universe and Query.
When refreshing the report the Prompt box displays the Name and Key of the infoobject (Dimension), but when selecting one of those values - moving it to the right, it brings across the Name not Key.
Our requirement is that the Key is selected value rather than the name - is this possible? And if so how?
Netweaver 2004S & Business Objects XI 3.0.
Regards,
Laurence

Ingo,
Thanks, I understand this in the background the Key is used, but is there any way to "swap" the Key and Name in the Prompt box, specifically my users want the Key to display in the right hand side of the Prompt bax when selecting, (or in the dropdown box, in the Prompt tab in WebI)
Best Regards,
Laurence

Fetch records from Database based on Input value

Hi Experts,
In my mobile application, I have designed one input field with F4 help or input assist. I need to fetch records from database based on that input and need to display records in table.
My question is:
How to fetch the records from database/back end based on the input value and display them as table format as we are doing in SAP ABAP?
Here, I need to fetch the records based on input value available in the UI screen and pass that value to gateway, fetch the records from database and need to bind with table in SAPUI5.
Kindly share the whole process flow with sample code for this requirement. Hope I have explained the requirement in detail.
Thanks In Advance..

Arindam Samanta.

Hi,
Try something like this.
In this, I am passing From date, To date, RelGrp, RelStr, Uname as input. Then I am storing those values in variables and passing this data in Odata request.
OData.read({ requestUri: "http://xxxx:8000/sap/opu/odata/sap/Z188_PO_SRV/pos?$filter=Docdate le datetime'"
                + todateformat+"T00:00:00' and Docdate ge datetime'"
                + fromdateformat+"T00:00:00' and RelGrp eq '"
                + relcode +"'and RelStr eq '"
                + relstg +"'and Uname eq '"
                + username+ "' "},
function (data) {
console.log(data);
When we are giving correct inputs it will goes to Success function and get the data from back end.
In console we can see the data.
Hope this will helps to you.
Thanks&Regards
