BEx Variables - Cannot Remove Defaults

Hello,
When some users try to run a particular BEx query it will display default values in the variable selection screen.  There is no personalization nor variants being used and no defaults on the variables in query designer.   I can run the query fine using my account but when using this other user account the defaults display. 
Very frustrating...please help.
Thanks,
Roseanne

Please don't get frustrated. Those are appearing due to your Authorization definitions in RSECADMIN-->Maintenance tab.
As you have 0BI_ALL authorization, nothing appears when you run, whereas users would have specific authorization definitions. You can't make them disappear as defaults. But users can remove after they land on variable screen,This is standard behavior.

  • Cannot initialize default script variable

    Hello,
    I am using Unified CCx Editor version 7.0(1.168). I created a script to be used instead of the system default script. According to the help file, "All script variables from the main script can initialize the default script variables, if the designer defines them using the same name and type". However, the variables in my default script are never initialized even though the same variables in the main script are changed before the main script terminates. I made sure they have the same name and type, but the values in the default script remain unchanged.
    All the variables I am trying to pass are of type String, and initially they are all set to the empty string "" in both scripts.
    Does anyone know what's wrong?
    Thank you.

    Hi
    I'm not sure I understand what you are asking, but will try telling you this to see if it makes things clearer:
    Basically the variables in each script (i.e. each .aef file) are unique to the .aef, there is no way to change a variable in one and have it directly affect the state of a variable in another. Even if you are looking at two executions of the same .aef script, the variables are unique/distinct instances; there is no concept of 'static' variables.

  • BEx Variable as Designed

    Hello, experts!
    I'm facing some confusing problem atm:
    I have a variable type user exit and I_STEP = 1 logic (logic before variable screen). I have a query with this varibale in filter. When I execute the query for the first time I get my default value from exit logic. But each time when I refresh my query I'm getting the same issue as described here: Customer-Exit Step 1 not executed in workbooks.. The screen shows only user defined value, not the default one.
    There is a SAP-note (1064273) about this problem, moreover there is an option in BEx query definition to solve this iisue (Variable as Designed) as for SP16+. But it doesn't work! I'm choosing "Variable as Designed" option in my characteristic properties in the query, but I_STEP = 1 logic isn't working during refresh.
    Is this a bug and I should create a client ticket or am I doing anything wrong? Please advice on this issue.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dmitry

    Hi Dmitry,
    As mentioned in SAP-note (1064273), this only works for the variables in the "default values" area (the so-called soft filter).
    It doesn't work if the variable is defined in the "characteristics restriction" or in local filter (the so-called hard filter).
    I guess your variable is used as hard filter so the customer exit cannot be called again when opening workbook.
    The technical reason for this behavior is that, when it is hard filter, by the definition of hard filter it is not possible to overwrite the old filter value (with which the workbook was saved) and assign new filter value to it.

  • How to use one variable as a default value for another variable?

    Hi Experts,
    Is it possible to use one variable as a default value for another variable?
    For example:
    Variable 1 = current calendar year month
    Variable 2 = mandatory input ready variable for calendar year month
    I want to use variable 1 as default value for variable 2, but also have the ability to change the month if required.
    Thanks!
    Kathryn

    u can use replacement path variable
    in that case u can replace the values of 1 variable with the another variable...
    but  u cannot do this setting
    u cannot make variable 2 as mandatory
    u cannot enter value for variable 2
    because by default it will take the value of variable 1
    u have to make follow settings
    variable 2
    name , technical name
    processing by = replacement path
    infoobject = ocalmonth
    next tab
    replaced by another variable
    variable name
    offset start , offset lenght
    save and hit okey

  • Error message: cannot remove older versions of apple software update

    I recently got a 30 gb ipod, and i cant install itunes 7. I originally tried installing it at first, and it said cannot remove older applications of Apple Software Update. So i installed itunes 4 to put music on my ipod. Then i tried again to install itunes 7 and i keep getting the same error message. Anyone else having this problem? Can anyone give me some suggestions please?

    I would first try and remove both iTunes and Quicktime prior to doing the install of iTunes. The following link will show you how to remove both programs. Make sure you do Step 16 as it is usually Quicktime that causes problems with the upgrade.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
    If it will not let you remove the programs, you can try using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. The download is about 1/4 of the way down the page. Good luck.

  • XI 3.0 Open Document and BEx variables (prompts)

    Can open document in Web Intelligence 3.0  be used to pass values to BEx variable/prompt (where the BEx variable is part of a query which populates the universe)?
    Thanks

    We were actually able to get this to work, but the we have discovered we cannot pass values that have two words.
    For example, the value "Batteries" is accepted successfully.  But the value "Fuel and Gases" is not passed successfully. 
    Here is the open document syntax (as generated by the wizard):

  • BEx Variable in Webi Report questions

    Hi Gurus,
    Here is my issue.
    I created a BEx Query 0SD_C03 Cube with following fields
    Two Columns
    One Key Figure:                   Subtotal1
    One Restricted Key Figure:  Subtotal with restriction " Sales Organization 1000"
    Two Rows                             Plant, Sales Organization
    One Variable with Sales Organization.
    When I ran this query in BEx Analyzer I can see all Sales Organization values in prompt list, How ever when I created a Universe and ran a webi query I can see 1000 in the Sales Organization list.
    Is this because I have restricted Key Figure with Sales Organization 1000 in the query?
    I removed my Restricted Key Figure from my query and tried again this time I see some 10 Sales Oraganizations but I didn't see all available Sales Organizations. Does BO Universe LOVs restricte the list?
    Thanks

  • 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 #.

  • How to remove default value from table definition?

    Hi,
    running 9.2
    Following problem :
    I need to remove default value from table.
    Example
    CREATE TABLE MY_TABLE(
    NAME VARCHAR2(50) DEFAULT 'NAME',
    AGE NUMBER DEFAULT 0
    Now even when I use MODIFY like
    ALTER TABLE MY_TABLE MODIFY (NAME VARCHAR2(10) );
    The default is still there:
    SELECT DATA_DEFAULT FROM USER_TAB_COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'MY_TABLE';
    Is there any way?
    Thanks

    Thanks,
    found the answer. It is not possible!!!!
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_3001.htm
    Note:
    If a column has a default value, then you can use the DEFAULT clause to change the default to NULL, but you cannot remove the default value completely. That is, if a column has ever had a default value assigned to it, then the DATA_DEFAULT column of the USER_TAB_COLUMNS data dictionary view will always display either a default value or NULL

  • 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.

  • Cannot remove report parameter list

    I want to use a form to control all my report parameters and pass to report thru a run_product function.
    However, I found that I cannot remove the default parameter list in report program. Every time the parameter list will prompt out. How can I remove the parameter list in report and it will never prompt out when I run that report?

    Hi Kane,
    You can hide the paramform by using an extra parameter in the paramlist you are filling in your form.
    Use:
    add_parameter(<parameter_list_id>, 'PARAMFORM', text_parameter, 'NO');
    Hope this helps

  • Install Oracle 11gR2 RAC : Cannot remove directory bootstrap under /tmp

    Folks,
    Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer and according to the tutorial
    http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html
    I am installing Grid infrastructure. I am on step 7 of 10 (verify Grid installation enviroment) and get this error:
    "Free Space: Rac2: /tmp
    Cause: Could not determine mount point for location specified.
    Action: Ensure location specified is available.
    Expected value: n/a
    Actual value: n/a "
    In order to fix the above error, I run "cluster verification utility" according to
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14072_01/rac.112/e10717/cvu.htm I run the following command:
    [ora11g@rac1 \]$ /home_grid/runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n rac1,rac2 -verbose
    Output:
    /bin/rm: cannot remove directory '/tmp/bootstrap': Operation not permitted
    ./runcluvfy.sh:line 99:/tmp/bootstrap/ouibootstrap.log: permission denied
    From the above output, we can see the directory bootstrap under /tmp causes the problem. The solution is to remove the directory bootstrap. I run the 2 commands:
    [ora11g@rac1 tmp]$ rmdir bootstrap
    Output: Operation not permitted
    [ora11g@rac1 tmp]$ rm -rf bootstrap
    Output: cannot remove bootstrap: Operation not permitted.
    [ora11g@rac2 tmp]$ ls
    Output: there is no 'bootstrap' directory.
    My questions are:
    First, does "cannot remove boostrap in rac1" cause that /tmp in rac2 could not be determine mount point ?
    Second, can any folk help to remove the directory bootstrap under /tmp ?
    Thanks.

    Folks,
    Hello. Thanks a lot for replying. I have just run the 2 commands:
    [root@rac2 \]# chown -R ora11g:dba /u01
    [root@rac2 \]# chmod -R 775 /u01
    ora11g is the user who installs the Grid and /u01 is the directory where Grid is installed and dba is the group.
    I go back to Grid Installer Step 7 of 10 in rac1 and check again and see as below:
    Free Space: Rac2 : /tmp
    Cause: Could not determine mount point for location specified.
    Action: Ensure location specified is available
    Expected Value: n/a
    Actual Value: n/a
    The problem is not solved after run the above 2 commands in rac2.
    In addition, I have run Cluster Verification Utility using the command:
    [ora11g@rac1 grid]./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n rac1,rac2 -r 11gR2 -orainv ora11g -verbose
    Output: All of items for rac2 are passed. There is only one item for rac1 is failed as below:
    Check default user file creation mask:
    NodeName: rac1
    Available: 0002
    Required: 0022
    Comment: failed
    As we see above, the result of CVU command is not the same with Grid Installer step 7 of 10 (Installation Environment Verification):
    CVU command doesn't find /tmp mount point problem for rac2 that Grid Installer does.
    Grid Installer step 7 of 10 doesn't find user file creation mask problem for rac1 that CVU command does.
    I have tried to find out whether creation mask failed for rac1 causes /tmp problem for rac2. I have changed the line "umask 002" to "umask 0022" for rac1 in each of the 3 files below and run CVU command each time for each file:
    rac1:
    /etc/bashrc
    /etc/profile
    /etc/csh.cshrc
    But chang the line "umask 002" to "umask 0022" for rac1 in each of the above 3 files does not solve the problem.
    My questions are:
    First, why is the result of CVU command not the same with that of Grid Installer step 7 of 10 ?
    Second, why change the line "umask 002" to "umask 0022" in 3 files can't solve creation mask problem for rac1 ?
    Third, how to solve /tmp problem for rac2 and creation mask problem for rac1 ?
    Thanks.

  • When I open Remote Desktop Connection, it reads "cannot open default.rdp".  What can I do to fix this?

    Hi, when I open RDP on my iMac, it reads "cannot open default.rdp" and it never saves my preferences or connections.  It resets after each launch. 
    How do I go about fixing this?
    UPDATE and FIX
    I went to the Finder menu, clicked on GO, held down Option (Alt) to bring up the Library.
    In the Library, I browsed to Preferences, found the com.microsoft.rdp plist and deleted it. Then I emptied my Trash.  If you get an error saying rdp plist is in use and cannot be deleted, quit out of RDP or reboot the machine (if quitting RDP doesn't work).
    Also, there was a permissions issue.  I browsed to the Applications folder, located the Microsoft Office folder, right clicked the folder (or CTRL click) and selected GET INFO.  First--In order to make any changes, authenticate with admin privileges using the lock icon (put in your username and password). From there (under Sharing & Permissions), I made sure my username (account currently logged in) and everyone had Read & Write privileges, then I clicked on the little gear icon (drop-down) and selected Apply to Enclosed items.
    Voila! 
    This worked for me.

    Actually, I still receive an error when I try to save the connections.
    I get an error that reads
    "Make sure that you have permission to write to the location where you want to save the file"
    Any help with this would be great!
