BEX Variable processing type Authorization

Hello ,
Currently we have Company code as Authorization relevant and we have BEX Variable of processing type "Authorization". currently when user executes the BEX query, he is able to see list of company codes which he as authorization to and all of them were selected in the prompts. Now the requirement is, User want to see list of company codes which he as authorization to in F4 but nothing should have been pre-selected in the prompt, he will select manually the company codes what he wants.
please guide me how to achieve this.
Thanks,
Ashok Kumar

Actually, the default values(in Bex) are bound to appear as per RSECADMIN definition. That's how it behaves. To try in a different way for your Authorizations, you may try with a BADI with all Authorized values in the code. Please search below document in SCN.

Variables & Processing Types

Hi,
I am looking for variables & Processing types.Could any one guide me on Variables & Processing types in BI 7.0.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Vijji

Hi Vijji,
We have five types of variables in BI 7.0
1) Characteristic value variables
2) Text Variables
3) Hierarchy variables
4) Hierarchy node variables
5) Formula variables
we can pass the values to this variables using 5 processing types
1) Manual Entry/ Default value
2) Replacement path
3) Authorizations
4) Customer exits
5) SAP Exit
In the below link you can check which process type is varilable for which variable.

Using BPS Variable of Type Authorization

Hi,
I have tried to use a variable of type 'Authorization' to effectively control the access of a certain set of users for certain version of plan data.
Example: User A can have access (change) to both plan version 01, 02
User B can have change access to version 01 and only display access to version 02 of plan data.
I am trying to have both the version displayed in the single layout (web as well as excel).
I couldnt find detail info on this, any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
Authorization variables are not the appropriate option to restrict display/write access for the scenario you mention.
My suggestion would be to create 2 layouts. In one layout the users can write to both the versions and in the second you can have the option to write to version 1 and display version 2.
You can then have authorizations set on these layouts to restrict access.
Hope this helps.

Variable of type authorization

Do all authorization variables in BI 7.0 required user code be written in order for them to work?

Hi,
there are 2 types of variables that you can use for analysis authorizations:
1.) Customer Variables
These variables are filled with values derived in the customer exit. They can be used instead of values for characteristics in the analysis authorization. Instead of entering the value, you enter the name of the variable as $<variable name> in the maintenance of the authorizations.
2.) Authorization Variables
The value of a characteristic is replace by the values that are stored in the authorization of a user. This is happening during the query execution. The variables can be used for characteristic values and for hierarchy nodes.

How to identify the variable processing type

Hi Experts,
How to find the details of the variable whether it is filling with user exit or replacement path
Say i have a variable xxx , how to identify the above details.
Thanks,

use RSZGLOBV table in VNAM give your variable and VPROCTP will give you processing type

INTERRUPT process types authorization in process chain

Hi all ,
I include INTERRUPT step in one of my process chains but I'm not able to change it on live system because of unsufficient authorization . We have sufficient authorization just for START variant on process chains on production system however we also need to have schedule authorization for INTERRUPT process since I need to schedule it several times in live system. Does anyone know about the process to gather required authorization
Thanks in advance ...

Variables with Authorization as Processing type ...

Hi Gurus, I also wanted to see if we have any good example for this kind of variable?
I also have a question. If we have Authorizations on 0ORGUNIT and 0EMPLOYEE. The users will be able to see only what they are supposed to see. Now what is the use of a variable that is built on this chareacteristics with processing type "Authorization"? Since they already are restricted to see the data?

Consider this example:
Every cost center manager should only be allowed to evaluate data for his/her cost center. Within the SAP authorization standard, a role or a profile with the authorization for the InfoObject 0COSTCENTER equal to XXXX (XXXX stands for the particular cost center) would have to be made for every cost center manager X. This has to be entered in the user master data for the cost center manager. In organizations where cost centers change on a regular basis, this involves significant administrative effort.
Using a variable reduces the authorization maintenance workload with the InfoObject 0COSTCENTER equal to $VARCOST, as well as with the role or the profile, which is maintained for all cost center managers. The value of the variable VARCOST is then set for runtime during the authorization check by the CUSTOMER-EXIT RSR00001.
Maintaining the authorizations restricts the entries for the values to the length of the existing InfoObject. It is possible, however, to use both limits of the interval. In the example 0COSTCENTER with 4 spaces, the variable VARCOST is, therefore, entered as $VAR COST.

Hierarchy authorization with variables of type exit

Hi all,
I am trying to implement hierarchy based authorizations with variables. After collecting information from the SAP documentation and this forum, I think I know more or less how to do it, but it's not working and it has me very confused.
These are the steps I have followed:
- From RSSM, I have created a hierarchy authorization object including my characteristic and 0TCTAUTHH
- From RSSM again, I have created a hierarchy authorization pointing to the node $ZG_V_008
- From the Query designer, I have created a hierarchy node variable of processing type customer exit ZG_V_008 (are any special settings needed here?)
- From the Query designer, I have created <b>another</b> hierarchy node variable of processing type authorization, and I have used this variable to restrict the hierarchy for my characteristic
- I have edited the EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001 to watch for I_STEP = 0 and give values to ZG_V_008 (we'll get to my code later in case we solve this issue first
It is my understanding that with this setup, the user exit will be called to process the value of ZG_V_008 in I_STEP = 0, however, when debugging, I don't see any calls for the function with I_STEP = 0.
What have I done wrong?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Guillermo

Thanks, Jimmy, but that does not help much: my problem is that my user exit is not evaluated with I_STEP=0, but there are no error messages or anything like that.
I have created a test user <b>without</b> a developer role to see if that could have any impact, but it's still not working.
Any ideas?

Derivation from variable type authorization in exit

Hi Experts,
I have got a query with two variables "AUTH" type authorization and "DERI" which should be derivate from "AUTH".
"DERI" is type Exit.
my problem, in the exit "AUTH" is not in i_t_var_range. Where do I get the value of "AUTH" from, to use it in the exit logic?
Thanks for your help

Authorization check without using variable of type u0093Authorizationu0094

In WEB-reporting we want to authorize on a navigational attribute without using the variable of type
Authorization. Why would we do this?
1. In a lot of queries we have to replace the existing variable of type User entry to a variable of type Authorization. We would like to avoid this work.
2. When the variable is not ready for input the Report will always include all the characteristic values for which the user is authorized. We dons want this.
3. When the variable is ready for input on the selection screen all the authorized values are displayed and the user is able to select / deselect the values he/she wants to report. In case of a lot of authorized characteristic values the screen does not appear user-friendly.
What we want is a behavior like some parts of R/3. For example: Controlling Area X consists of the Costcenters C1000, C2000, C3000, C4000, C5000 and C6000. A particular user has authorization for Cost centers C1000, C3000 and C5000. When running a ABAP-report with Cosctcenters the user is able to select certain Costcenters. Three possibilities:
1. The user selects Costcenter C1000, C3000 and / or C5000: the ABAP reports the selected Costcenters.
2. The user selects Costcenter C2000, C4000 and / or C6000: the ABAP gives an error-message: no authorization.
3. The user does not select any Costcenters: the ABAP reads all the Costcenters and reports on the basis of the users authorization only Costcenters C1000, C3000 and C5000.
In term of BW: we would like to introduce authorizations for a specific InfoObject which is used as an navigational of an other InfoObject. In the queries a variable is used of the type User entry. The user can select one or more values on the selection screen; an authorization check is fulfilled. He may however choose to leave the selection field empty; in this case the OLAP processor should report only the authorized values (in our case the last situation results directly in an error-message no authorization).
Anyone has a suggestion?
Thx in advance,
Henk

If you change the variable to type exit, and user input enabled, you can then build your logic in the user exit.
If users have entered unauthorised values, it will be checked (by the system??). If this assumption is correct then all you need to do in your exit is to continue with the values entered by the user; and in case user has entered no values, populate the variable with values valid for the user (by reading the user authorization and corresponding charactertistics values and moving these to the variable).
--> Adding further
Since the authorization will not be checked by the system (I missed that these are not of authorization type variables), user exit will need to do this check. The logic for doing authorization checks / error messages / restricting based on authorizations - will have to be done in the user-exit.

Use of RSSM and authorisation processing type

I create a authorisation object for customer using RSSM. At the report level, I want to create a variable on the "customer".
If I create a User Entry/default value processing type for the characteristic variable on "Customer", how will the system handle data restriction checks for different roles for "Customer".
Or to make my question better,
Are authorisation objects created in RSSM useful for only Variables with "Authorisation" processing type.
Thanks
Simmi

hi Simmi,
no, it's useful in infocube level, in rssm we mark which infocube(s), all queries to the infocube will have authorization check. processing type authorization will display report with restriction to all values given to the user.
to restrict user by e.g customer, you need to maintain in role (transaction PFCG), choose created authorization object (RSSM), and assign value, and assign the role to your user.
e.g role ZCUST, user A given cust1, user B given cust2 and so on.
hope this helps.

How to call a FM for a BEx Variable

Hi,
   I have created a BEx Variable of type Customer Exit called 'ZCA8764'
   I intend to actually automatically calculate the number of days in the month.
   Through some discussions here, I found that I can use a FM NUMBER_OF_DAYS_PER_MONTH_GET
   So, I went to CMOD.
   But there onwards, I don`t know how to write a code to link the Variable and the FM.
Can someone please advice with a sample code ?
   Can someone please assist.

CALL FUNCTION 'NUMBER_OF_DAYS_PER_MONTH_GET'
        EXPORTING
              (here u need to pass the values to the FM)
        IMPORTING
              (here u will get the values that the function returns)
e.g.
CALL FUNCTION 'NUMBER_OF_DAYS_PER_MONTH_GET'
        EXPORTING
          day_in            = v_mth_beg
        IMPORTING
          last_day_of_month = v_mth_end.

SAP EXIT Processing Type not comin in the drop down

Hi,
The SAP Exit Processing type is not appearing in the drop down of the Variable processing types in the Variable wizard while defining the Variable.
Regards,

Hi Virat,
SAP Exit processing type is meant for Business Content variables only ( which are provided by SAP), if you want to create a variable & use exit in that, choose Customer Exit option.
hope it helps

Charateristic variable with Processing type "replacement path"

Hi all
I am using BI 7.0;
I have a characteristic ZPL_CNT in one dimensions of a Cube;
now i want to use the value of the ZPL_CNT as column in Query.
So i created a formula and a formula variable with replacement path of processing type:
setting:
i created a new formula "Calculated MBZ"
the formula variables is "ZMBZ" and inserted the variables into "Calculated MBZ"
Reference characteristic: ZPL_CNT
Processing type : Replacement path
Replace variable with: Attribute value
Attribute: characteristic Reference (constant 1)
But i find the value in Query incorrect
Can anyone help me solve this problem?
Thanks!

Hi Dragon,
Can you not drag and drop this characteristic directly in the columns...have I misunderstood something?
I think when you use replacement path in the formula variable , the fromula variable tries to find the reference characteristic value at each record level in the report and then replaces it with attribute value as defined and may be in your case as the characteristice is not defined in the row , it has problems to identify which value of the characteristic it has to replace.

Node variable in query - Processing type customer exit?

We are on NW 2004S. I created a hierarchy for an info-object along with several nodes and child nodes.
I also created a node variable in a query for this info-object. I have the following questions with regards to using node variables in a query.
1) Can I use a node variable with processing type 'Customer Exit". My objective is to set the value of the node variable in the user exit.
2) If answer to first question is "Yes", how would I code the node value in the user-exit - Example code or some pointers to that effect.
I really appreciate your thoughts on this issue.
Thanks,
Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,
As far as I'm aware this hasn't changed in NW2004s, (in any case it still works), so:
1)Yes you can, no difference with other type variables.
2)In userexit EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001 (include ZXRSRU01).
There's different options depending on at which stage you want to change it:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/f1/0a56f5e09411d2acb90000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
If you do a forum search on above technical names I think you'll find plenty of coding samples, but if you want something more specific, I'd be happy to help you out.

Pieter
