BEx Web Applications in BPS Web Interfaces

Question

Hi all,
I need to make a BPS web interface which enables the business user to see data in the BW system while posting the budget items in BPS. This is to be done in the Web, and I have therefore tried to implement a solution for the customer following the instructions in the HowTo-paper: "How To.... Integrate BEx Web Applications into BPS Web Interfaces".
The report is displayed when the interface is executed, but the variable which I have included in the code does NOT have any effect on the BW query (which is a surprise to me) but rather only on the BPS Web Interface (which is no surprise to me).
The above results in two questions:
- What part of this code needs to be changed for the variable to take effect on the BW query as well as the BPS Web Interface:
<iframe
    id="BWReport01"
    name="BWQUERY"
    src="/sap/bw/BEx?
    cmd=ldoc&TEMPLATE_ID=ALLOK_CHECK2"
    width="1200"
    height="600">
    Frames are not supported
</iframe>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    var frame  = document.getElementByld( 'BWReport03' );
    var url    = '/sap/bw/BEx?cmdldoc&TEMPLATEID=';
    var filter = '&FILTER_IOBJNM=0PROFIT_CTR&FILTER_COLLAPS=&FILTER_VALUE_EXT=';
    var '1000/'  = '';
    var appl   = 'ALLOK_CHECK2';
    var varvl  = '%=descr(VarvlSel1_pctr/value)%>';
    var convert = /\((.*)\)/;
    convert.exec(varvl);
    if ( RegExp.$1 != "") varvl = RegExp.$1;
    url = url + appl + filter + comp + varvl;
    url = url.replace(/ /,"");
    frame.src = url;
</script>
Particular areas where I am in doubt (in squared brackets):
[  var '1000/'  = ''; ]
[  var convert = /\((.*)\)/; ]
- has anyone had any experience in using the Selector Package (SEL_PACKAGE) rather than the Selector Variable Value (SEL_VARVL)? In case you have, how is it implemented in the HTML-code?
Looking forward to hearing from you guys soon.
Best regards

Hi Rune,
Here's what I found - I'm not sure it will solve your problem, but maybe it can give you some hints:
<b><iframe
id="BWReport01"
name="BWQUERY"
src="/sap/bw/BEx?
cmd=ldoc&TEMPLATE_ID=ALLOK_CHECK2"
width="1200"
height="600">
Frames are not supported
</iframe></b>
I think the section above in bold has to be deleted and replaced by the one specified in section 3.3 of the how to paper: <iframe id=BWReport03" name="BWQUERY" src="/sap/bw/mime/....</iframe>. The reason is the your defintion will display the report, but will not take any variables into consideration.
Furthermore you're missing a '=' in your code (cmd=ldoc) - I marked it in bold below. What you could also do was to add an alert to display the URL generated by the javascript. I added that in bold as well. That can give you an idea of whats missing.
Hope this helps,
