Bex variable selection screen issue

Dear All,
I have three variables in my Bex report -- Submission date, User ID and Company Code. The variable -- 'Submission date' is of type 'Replacement Path'. Other two are User entry.
When I run the report, only the 'User ID' and 'Company code' variables are displayed. After I supply the values to these, 'Submision date' screen pops up. But I require that all the three variables on a single scren at a time.
Thanks,
Srinivas

Hi.....
O.k. I agree with you. But when I execute the report in Web(or in Portal), then in that case all the variables are displayed in the same screen. How is this possible ?
Thanks,
Srinivas

Variable Selection Screen Issue in WAD

Hi Guru's,
I have created a Query in 3.5 and having Variables for the same as Acutal Good's Issued Date & Plant. I am able to see the variable screen with selection option(Intervals) in Query level. But I am not able to see the Variable selection option as interval in Portal (WAD). The variable is showing only as single value.
Please suggest to get the variable selection screen as interval's.

Bandi

Hi,
I got your point.When you open that query in Analyzer,it shows the variable screen and the variable is shown as a interval variable.But if you open the same query in Web Analyzer,the variable shown as single value variable.
This looks little weird because both Web and BEx Analyzer uses the same Query.Can you execute the query in RSRT Tcode and check how the variable shown(whether as a Single or interval variable).
And also check the variable definition.Try to create a new variable with the same settings and check the behavior.

How to use Keyfigures in the Bex variable selection screen.

Hi,
I have a scenario, where the user whats to see the keyfigures like volume, amount in the variable selection screen, so that he can dynamically, set the condition according to his requirement.
For example , he wants to see all the PO's for a particular calmonth which have volume > 1 Million or on someother day, he may input the value as volume > 2Million or Volume < 0 , so it depends. Similarly he wants to dynamically select the Amount values.
I have tried using condition with "greater than"and value as a formula variable and it works for one condition, but if I add another condition i.e, "less than"and value as a formula variable then it conflicts and the query is throughing below error.
"ERROR BRAIN (418): Variable ZCS_VAR_CH_KG_LT (DC015DZ850NUYVFDMPJHRGHXW) does not exist or is incorrectly used 4 Volume"."".
Do we have a option to use customer exit in such a scenario ??, any suggestions please.

BW-BPS Variable Selection Screen Issue

We currently use BW-BPS as our planning tool with the web-based interface. One of our planning web screens includes a cost center variable with the user selection configured as Input Field with Input Help. This allows the user to select the cost center using search parameters in a pop-up screen. I recently created a new web interface by copying the existing one and making minor changes. After generating it, the new interface works as planned, however the data in the cost center search pop-up box is garbled.
Since the original screen works fine, I theorized that the act of generating the interface caused the issue. I confirmed this by generating the original web screen without making any changes and it saw that it also has garbled pop-up search data. I then changed the setting from Input Field with Input Help to Dropdown Box and re-generated. This worked normally therefore the issue seems to specific to generating the Input Field with Input Help settings.
Are there any notes out there to correct this generation issue? We are currently on the following:
SAP_BASIS - 700 - 0025
SAP_ABA - 700 - 0025
PI_BASIS - 2006_1_700 - 0015
ST-PI - 2008_1_700 - 0004
SAP_BW - 700 - 0027
FINBASIS - 600 - 0020
SEM-BW - 600 - 0020
BI_CONT - 703 - 0016

VBA To judge "Cancel" at variable selection screen in BEx analyzer

Hi BI experts,
I need some advices about how to judge whether "Cancel" button is pressed or not.
We need correction of Excel Macro for migrating reports from 3.x to 7.x.
<Summary of Macro>
1.Call variable selection screen once you pressed VBAbutton.
2.Then, depends on pressed "OK" or "Cancel", the following process wil be diverged.
　
＜1st process's change＞
Old：「Return_Code = Run("SAPBEX.XLA!SAPBEXrefresh", False, inWorksheet.Range("B30"))　」
New：「Return_Code = Run("BExAnalyzer.xla!MenuChangeVariable")」
<2nd process's change>
Under 3.x verstion, I used the situation that workbook would not be updated if you pressed "Cancel" button and write the logic.
But under 7.x verstion, even if you pressed the "Cancel" button, the workbook would be updated.
So, now I can not use the logic before and need to correct it.
Please give me some advice how to judge whether "Cancel" button is pressed or not at variable selection screen.
Also my correction of calling logic of variable selection screen?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Need to skip the variable selection screen when using dropdown

Hello Friends,
I have created a web template having a dropdown, a table and a text element. Basically I am trying to follow the guide "How to Use a Dropdown Box to Set Variable Values". It shows how to select values for a variable using dropdown.
NOTE: The guide can be found here:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2642ab90-0201-0010-9193-d59de66cbab4
What is happening is when I select a value for the variable in the dropdown, the correct url is getting formed but instead of displaying the report using the selected value, the variable selection screen appears. Given below is the url that gets formed:
http://abcdev.wdf.sap-ag.de:8000/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=E&PAGENO=1&REQUEST_NO=3&CMD=PROCESS_VARIABLES&SUBCMD=VAR_SUBMIT&VAR_NAME_1=TSTPEROD&VAR_VALUE_EXT_1=04.2007
Please assist me to get rid of the variable selection screen. Thanks!
Regards,
Prem.

Hello Ray,
Thanks for your reply. This has partially resovled the issue. I have awarded you points for that. Now I am able to skip the variable screen.
However, the query results are not getting refreshed. I wanted to restirct the values based on the value given in the variable selection (In my case the dropdown box). Somehow I am not able to link the dropdown with the variable or the "SAPBWOpenURL(url);" function is having some issues.
Please assist. Thanks!
Regards,
Prem.

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

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.

How to add customize message on the variable selection screen in the query

Hi all,
Can we add an customise message on the variable selection screen in the query? If yes please let me know how it can be achevied?
Thanks,
Rani

Hi Rani,
I faced a similar issue (for what I understand your request is).
My requirement for the Variable Screen was to do:
1) place a link to a ppt file
2) remove buttons "Save", "Save As...), "Delete"... the standard buttons come when running the Query or WebTempl
We were using a Web Templ for BI7.0
I struggled trying to find out how to do it. My conclusions are:
- WAD, not sure we can accomplish it using a Web Template but i did not "play" a lot with the Web_Template Properties in order to know
- XHTML, I was told in my post HTML modification was the way, but I have close to nil background in HTML and couold not find the way of accessing the Variable Entry screen
For instance, I had to remove similar buttons and change some font size from a link on the Web Template (WAD), which was pretty straight forward. In WAD the buttons come with its own icon and to increase the Font size for that link we used XHTML (<font size="2" >). But the heck of the variable screen...well, i just did not get trhough to it to modify it in any way.
Good luck,
Definetly in a Query I would say that no.

Limit list of values in variable selection screen

Hi
Apologies if this has been asked / answered elsewhere, but I thought I would put it out there, at least while I continue trying to find a solution.
We have a requirement to limit the data from which a user is allowed to select values in the variable selection screen. I know how to write the ABAP code that will return the list of data from which the user can choose, but not sure how to implement that in the query variable.
Essentially, the BEx query needs an input on username, and the current user should be able to choose from a list of usernames. That list of usernames should only be usernames to which the current user has access.
Don't worry about the linking of current user to user names, that is taken care of in our DSO.
What I am after, is limiting the data that comes back when the "F4 Help" type button is pressed on the variable screen.
I can default a value in the customer exit variable using ABAP code in the i_step = 1 loop, but that doesn't seem to effect the list of data available for selection.
Any decent ideas?
Cheers,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
As charlie suggested go for Analysis authorization that is the simplest approach to restrict values for any object, in another way you can use following BADI for value restriction using ABAP code, refer the below link.
[http://www.consolut.com/en/s/sap-ides-access/d/s/doc/YY-BW_BADI_F4]
By using customer exit you can only populate default values but you will not be able to restrict F4 help values.

Enabling Key and text for the Variable Selection screen

I need to display key and text for a characteristic when selecting the drop down menu in the variable selection screen of a web report. In the Business Explorer tab within the info-object, I changed the General Settings to display Key and text, but when I open the drop down menu for this characteristic, it is still displaying the key only. Is there some other place where this change needs to happen?

Hi,
Did you try to log out and log in again into BEx?

Urgent: Custom Text in Variable Selection Screen

Hi Experts,
I know that it is not recommended by SAP to customise the variable screen, I am sorry but that is ridiculous coz there are no alternatives provided for even simple editing. I''ve searched every where in SDN to find a way to simply add a custom text element in this bizarre screen.
I need to do that because I have to group variables that look similar in a container and add some instructions to users on how to base their selections.
I am also not sure what exactly the web item whcih is behind this selection screen or perhaps if it is another web template that is being invoked by the standard template ""0analysis_pattern"" and if any what is that web item invoking it.
If you have any clues of how i can achieve this please adivce as soon as you possibly can.
Points will be assigned.
Cheers,
Jad

Hello,
To customize your variable screen you should neeed developer access key..you can see whether you have got or not in table Devaccess..
Personalisation of variables is for saving all inputs for future use. ( In your case save without any pre determined values )
Below PDF link will surely answer your doubts.
http://www.ies.state.pa.us/imaginepa/lib/imaginepa/mso2.pdf
The personalization option can be activated in the system (using the program RS_PERS_ACTIVATE or the IMG guide (BW Customizing Implementation Guide -> Business Information Warehouse -> Reporting-Relevant Settings -> General Reporting Settings -> Activate personalization in the BEx).
You can manage your personalization variable through BEX Analyzer "Change Variable Values" menu option "Business Explorer --> change query --> change variable values.

Go through this link for making cange in Variable selection screen..
Re: No Text displayed in the Input help in WEB
For creating the Web Template..
Go the web application designer, create a new web template in the template
in the left hand side you will find web items , from there drag and drop table , navigation block for your navigation attributes and in the table you have to assign the data provider
for that first you have to do
<object>
<param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
<param name="CMD" value="SET_DATA_PROVIDER"/>
<param name="NAME" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
<param name="QUERY" value="your query name"/>
<param name="INFOCUBE" value="your cube or multiprovider name "/>
DATA_PROVIDER: DATAPROVIDER_1
</object>
now you can asssign the data provider 1 to the table.
you can all the neccessary things you want , like check box, radio button group, charts etc.
while saving this save it in a role.
If you want to do this for a workbook, which has been created in the BEx Analyzer, do the following:
After embedding the query in the workbook, right click -> choose 'properties' in the context menu -> click the 'interaction' tab -> check the 'save and reuse variable values' option.
After doing this, once the workbook or query is refreshed, the already entered variable values are taken.

# value in Variable Selection screen

Hello,
Can you please help with the below:
How do we remove # (Not Assigned) value from Variable selection screen. When I select PLANT in one of the report, I see # value. But there are no empty values in the cube. So, I am not sure as why I am getting this # value in Selection Screen. The seeting in Web designer for READ MODE is "Posted Values" and not "Master data or Dimension Table".
Thanks.

have you checked what Bex properties are set in the Info Object for "Query Def. Filter Value S"
Select Values from Info provider.
that might solve your problem. But ensure you're not disturbing anything else by changing this property.

Variable selection screen: display as Key

We are using NW2004s for our BI system and for the front-end components (Bex Query Designer, Bex Query Analyzer, ...)
When opening a certain query with the Analyzer, the variable selection screen is shown. But now we can only input values directly in the fields if we change the display setting from Text to Key. (input values directly = without using the input help)
Is there no way to put the display on Key by default for the variable selection screen?
Hopeful greetings,
Ben De Windt

Hello Ben,
unfortunately this is not possible at the moment. The feature will be available with SPS 13, which is planned to be available in calendar week 32. Please have a look at the Functional Enhancements Schedule BI in NW 7.0 (formerly known as 2004s) on page 20:

Edit variable selection screen

Hi,
I want to edit the variable selection screen in WAD 7.0 (change width of colums).
Can anyone give me the template-name?
Michel

As quoted from http://sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=221261
saw this thread on SDN: SAP Business Explorer (SAP BEx)
Question:
Hi,
Most of our BW reports use one Web Template. When the variable screen pops up, the header shows "Variables for Ad Hoc Report" instead of the name of the report that were are executing from the role folder.
Does anybody know how can I get the title of the report to show instead of "Variables for Ad Hoc Report"?
Thanks for your help!
Helena
Answer from SAP Employee Heike Guder:
Hi Helena,
sorry, but this is only possible with modification in class cl_rsr_www_variable_screen method FILL_OPEN_FORM(no customizing for this)
Heike
If you are really into it you might want to start diggin in that class and if do - please let us know the result of it.

How to include text lable in Variable selection screen (Web Reporting)

Hi Experts,
I have created one query and in Web Report-->variable selection screen I have one Date field for that field I have to display a label stating that user to input date in the format YYYY.MM(like a text label).Actually I have created 10 to 12 report . I need u r suggestion such that a single change will reflect my requirement in all the reports and I have created all the reports for same multiprovider.
Thanks in Advance
Yours,
Bala

Bala,
Prompts can originate from one of two places: either via Designer and using the @prompt functionality or while creating the report building a prompt in the Query Filters panel. If the prompt was built using the @prompt method, and all 10-12 reports are using that particular @prompt, then one change via Designer will cause all reports to reflect the new verbiage. If you built the 10-12 reports using the prompt in the second scenario, then each individual report needs to be opened, modified and then saved. If you must use the latter method, then you can open the first report, modify the prompt verbiage, then highlight the new verbiage with your mouse and hit Control-C (which copies that text to the Clipboard of your Windows system). Then go to the second report, locate the verbiage that needs to be changed, delete it, then Control-V (which pastes), and voila, some keyboarding strokes are saved....
Thanks,
John
