BPS Exit Function Error

Hi Experts,
I am new to BPS. I am developing FM for Unit Convertion. Can some body please direct me the procedure to correct the following error? This error is being generated at the time of execution. I am working on BI 7.0.
Please let me know if this is not enough info.
Thanks in advance.

Error generating the test frame
Message no. FL819
Diagnosis
The system could not generate a syntactically correct test frame for function module Z_BPS_EXIT_UNIT_CONV. You therefore cannot test the function module using the test environment. You have probably used an ABAP feature in the interface definition that is not yet supported in the test environment.
The error message is:
"ANY TABLE" expected, not "HASHED TABLE".
System Response
Procedure
Check whether you can change the interface of the function module so that it is possible to generate the test frame. If this is not possible,you will have to write your own utility for testing the function module.

Nimesh,
Welcome to the forum.
You can not test an SEM exit function from ABAP workbench rather it has to be tested from BPS.
Exit function requires hash table XTH_DATA which is supplied from BPS.
I think you are testing funciton module from SE37 that leads to error message posted by you.
Have some test data in the planning cube & test it from Planning function exit function.
There is a How-To Document "How-To Loop over reference data in FOX formulas".
Though this function doesn't explain about exit function but it depicts execution of a planning funtion which will give you some insights.
Hope it helps.

How to access reference data in BPS Exit Function

Hi Experts,
Can any please tell me how to access reference data in BPS Exit function. I am creating a copy function using ABAP Exit Function (Std copy and fox formula doesn't work for my requirement).
Please suggest,
Thanks in advance,
Shiwesh

Hi Deepti,
Thanks a lot for your reply. xth_data contains all the data based on package filteration. Let me explain you,
Say, I have a characteristic char and whose value is 'A', I want to change it to 'B' in my copy function, while keeping the original record with 'A' as well. So now I want my xth_data to contain two records, one with A and other with 'B'. I mean to say from value is 'A' and to value is 'B'. Now my package contains 'B' (the to value) as the allowed value, but not A because in the package I am setting this using a BPS variable. There are two types of variables, one is to variables other is from variable. There could be two scenarios,
1. If I set from varibale in the package: if I do so, I will have the data in xth_data containing 'A' as char value. But in this case when I change it to 'B' and try to save both the records, package won't recognize the record with value 'B' and reject it.
2. If I set to variable in the package: In this case the xth_data itself will not contain anything and I can not loop over xth_data because there is no record with 'B'. Only record available in the system is with 'A' values.
That is why I am thinking about having reference daya somewhere. I could loop over reference data and then pass it to xth_data. Package will contain to variable so it will allow all my modifications to get saved.
Thanks and regards,
Shiwesh

BPS-Exit function

Hi experts,
I am tring to load flat file in BPS using EXIT function.
For that i am using two function modules where one is main function module
and another one is Init.Function.In function moduled there is no errors but
while upload flat file records are not get generated.
Kindly give me some tips to resolve this.
If i case anyone want that FM means i will attcah those FM.

Display message from exit function on web

Hi all,
Is there a way to display the output error message from Exit Function on web interface?
Regards,
Kadir

Hi All,
I have a similar problem - but for variable exits.
The solution posted by Kadir works fine for an exit changing xthdata (bps exit function).
I want to display a message in Web created within an bps variable exit. In this case the solution does not work.
Does anyone of you experts have an idea how to append a message to the message table used for the WebInterface?
Thanks in advance and best regards

How to access BPS variables in ABAP Exit Function

Hi Experts,
I am using a Exit Function. My BPS variables contain multiple values. I want to trasfer then (may be directly read) to an internal table from where I can loop over then.
Could you please suggest me the code for this?
Points will be awarded.
Thanks in advance,
Shiwesh

Did you try using the FMs API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_GETDETAIL or Z_VARIABLE_GET_DETAIL for this?

Change Data in BPS Layout: Exit Function

Hello everyone,
We are using BW-BPS and we need to make a sort of a certain characteristic in a Planning Folder. In the specific Planning Folder it was defined an exit function and it was assigned a function module.
We implement the following code:

When execute this function, we get a DUMP (ASSIGN_TYPE_CONFLICT). Does anybody have any suggestion how to change a hash table or somehow make a sort in this hash table?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
After some changes in the code, it seems that xth_data table is assuming the new content. In debugging, we could see that the assignment was made and xth_data records are now in a different order. But when executing the BPS Layout assigned to this planning function, all the lines (records) still in the same place. The Layout doesnt change.
This is the code:

Does anybody understand this behavior, why the changes in the user-exit are not assumed in the BPS Layout?

Exit function in BPS

Hello everyone
About my situation:
I need to use exit function in BPS.
I have Character 0VERSION with data 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5LV.
The user can make a lot of version. But there will be the last version with ID for example LV.
I use copy function for coping data from version 0 to version 1 and so on. But now I need to make function for copping only data from last version which was made by user to my last version which was made by me. For example the last user version was 5. So I need to write program that should check that last version is really 5 not 2 or 4 and copy all data of 5 version to version LV. So I want to use exit function but I don know which standard functional module can do for my task. Can somebody tell me the name of suitable functional module?
Thanks for answers. (Points are guaranteed)

BW-BPS and Exit function on a variable

I have a variable that has 2 characteristics. I have an exit function to fill the variable. I am getting a short dump when executing the functional module. Here is the code I am using and the error message. Any help would be appreciated.
ls_varsel-seqno = '0000'.
ls_varsel-chanm = 'ZLOCBRAND'.
ls_varsel-sign = 'I'.
ls_varsel-opt = 'EQ'.
LOOP AT lt_chavl INTO ls_chavl.
    if ls_chavl-/BIC/ZLOCBRAND <> ''.
      ls_varsel-seqno = ls_varsel-seqno + 1.
      ls_varsel-low = ls_chavl-/BIC/ZLOCBRAND.
      APPEND ls_varsel TO eto_charsel.
    endif.
ENDLOOP.
ls_varsel-chanm = 'ZBUS_UNIT'.
ls_varsel-sign = 'I'.
ls_varsel-opt = 'EQ'.
LOOP AT lt_chavl INTO ls_chavl.
    if ls_chavl-/BIC/ZBUS_UNIT <> ''.
      ls_varsel-seqno = ls_varsel-seqno + 1.
      ls_varsel-low = ls_chavl-/BIC/ZBUS_UNIT.
      APPEND ls_varsel TO eto_charsel.
    endif.
ENDLOOP.
error : ITAB_ILLEGAL_SORT_ORDER

Hi Rich,
looks like the table is defined as sorted table. Try to replace your two APPEND statements by INSERT ls_varsel INTO TABLE eto_charsel.
Hope that helps

SEM-BPS Variable with exit function

Hi,
this is my problem. I use a variable for period and I increment the variable dinamically in a sequence of execution. When I try to read the variable with a exit function, the function is only called the first time and return ok the value, but the next time the function not called and the value is returned from the buffer (I think this, because always is the same value).
How can I change this? I need to my function return the variable value, because is changed.
Thanks.

Hi,
thanks for replys.
I think the problem occurs after update the patch level to level 15. This is the code of class_constructor in class cl_sem_variable:
method CLASS_CONSTRUCTOR.
data ls_dark type upc_dark2.
select single * from upc_dark2 into ls_dark
where param = c_param_dark_buffer.
if sy-subrc = 0 and ls_dark-value = 'X'.
m_buffer = 'X'.
endif.
endmethod.
The flag m_buffer is always X and for that reason my the value of the variable is read from the buffer and the exit function for read variable isn't called.
What do yo think about this?
Thanks.

Program name zxvau02 are reserved for includes of exit function group

i am facing a problem during user exit.
when i am trying to change the code in function module (va01) in include zxvvau02
an error is occurred 'program name zxvau02 are reserved for includes of exit function group'
so i could not edit the include program.

Hi,
1. Find the appropriate Enhancement.
2. Enter the ABAP code in the "Z" program within the function module.
3. Create a project.
4. Add the Enhancement to the project.
5. Activate the project.
At the step (2), when I double click on the Include ZX* within source code of the function module to realize the exit, the
system would prompt to create the include. But NO, it always prompt that the name of include is reserved by SAP and I
cannot create it... I entered an access key for the object ...

Menu-exits, Function-exits & Screen-exits

What is Menu-exits, Function-exits & Screen-exits ? explain

Hi,
Why do you need enhancements ?
The standard applications do not offer some of the functionality you need. The R/3 enchancement concept allows you to add your own functionality to SAP's standard business applications.
What are the different types of enhancements ?
Enhancements using customer exits
Customers' potential requirements which are not included in the standard software are incorporated in the standard as empty modification 'shells'. Customers can then fill these with their own coding. Enhancements can relate to programs, menus and screens. Upward compatibility is assured. In other words, SAP guarantees that the jump from the standard software to the exit and the interface which call the exit will remain valid in future releases.
Enhancements to ABAP/4 Dictionary elements
These are ABAP/4 Dictionary enhancements (creation of table appends), text enhancements (customer-specific key words and documentation for data elements) and field exits (creation of additional coding for data elements).
What is customer development ?
Creating customer-specific objects within the customer name range.
What is SSCR ?
SSCR (SAP Software Change Registration) is a procedure, for registering all manual changes to SAP source coding and SAP Dictionary objects.
What is the difference between modifications and enhancements ?
Modifications mean making changes to the SAP standard functionality.
Enhancements mean adding some functionality to SAP standard functionality.
What are the disadvantages of modification ?
Modifying standard code can lead to errors
Modifications mean more work during software upgrades
What are the advantages of enhancements ?
Do not affect standard SAP source code
Do not affect software upgrades
when do you opt for modification ?
Customer exits are not available for all programs and screens within the R/3 standard applications. You can only use exits if they already exist within the SAP R/3 System . Otherwise you have to opt for modifications .
What are the various types of customer exits ?
Menu exits
Screen exits
Function module exits
Keyword exits
What is a menu exit ?
Adding items to the pulldown menus in standard R/3 applications .
13.What is a screen exit ?
Adding fields to the screens within R/3 applications. SAP creates screen exits by placing special subscreen areas within a standard R/3 screen and calling a customer subscreen from within the standard dynpro's flow logic.
What is a function module exit ?
Adding functionality to R/3 applications. Function module exits play a role in both menu and screen exits.
What is a keyword exit ?
Add documentation to the data elements of key words defined in the ABAP/4 Dictionary. The system displays this documentation whenever a user presses F1 to get online help for a screen field.
How do SAP organizes its exits ?
SAP organizes its exits in packages that are called SAP enhancements. Each SAP enhancement can contain many individual exits

BPS Planning Function Performance

Dear all,
In our projects we've faced the following problem.
We have BPS user-exit planning function. This function should process a large amount of data. And, of course, performance of this processing is very critical!
To increase performance we divided whole data amount into subsets and launch mentioned PF for each subset in background within separated thread ([http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/c4/3a7f1f505211d189550000e829fbbd/frameset.htm], [http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/fa/096e92543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/frameset.htm])
But now the problem:
Processing time for first thread is more, than 15 minutes of 35.000 records.
For second one - 5 sec(!!!) for 25.000
Third thread - 4 sec for 20.000
and so on...
In some threads calculation time also increases to 10-15 minutes for one thread. Statistic of calculation is below

What is a reason of such behaviour of PF?
Where is a bottleneck and how to eliminate influence of bottleneck on execution time of whole data amount?
Your advices

Hello Dmitry,
take a look at the runtime statistics in transaction BPS_STAT0 (You might have to turn them on and re-run your process). This will show you where the time is spend (database or BPS).
If it's database time, then get your Basis Team involved. Check that DB stats are up-to-date, check that InfoCube requests are rolled-up/compressed, do SQL trace and analyze the DB execution plan, etc.
If it's BPS time, then it's probably something in your exit function. An ABAP trace (SE30) should help to nail down the root cause.
Processing packages is parallel is in general a good way to make it run faster. However, if the packages are too small the overhead will actually reduce performance. I would start with 5 parallel processes.

Parameter Exit Function in Planning Folder

Hi all,
I created the planning function in SEM BPS using exit function. And then I added the parameter exit function 0VERSION to this function. After that, I tried to put this function in the planning folder.
Does anybody know how to put the parameter exit function to the planning folder?
Because I need the user to fill the value of the 0VERSION before they run the function.
I assume this should work as the selection screen.
Currently, Every time I run this function, there is no selection screen or the place that I could fill the value for this field. So, the system always receives no value for this field.
Or Maybe you have another approach to get the user's value without restrict the data before run the exit function.
Thanks a lot for your help,
-Martin Darmawi-

This behaviour is quite normal. You should use different approach.
Parameters in exit functions can be filled in parameter group only and only with fixed values.
You should create a planning variable, put it to the folder and then read value of this variable in your exit function with 'API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_GETDETAIL' for example.

Attribute value to exit function module

Hello group,
I'm working in a sem-bps project and I have a problem with an exit function, because
I need the function module to read the value of a characteristic's attribute.
I read the standard function module UPF_VARIABLE_USER_EXIT_ATTR: it retrieves the attribute value through the import parameters ITO_ATTR TYPE UPC_YTO_ATTR.
I put this attribute on my exit function but when I check the content of the attribute its always empty. Do you know how I can transmit the parameter from the exit planning function to the function module?
Any input is appreciated, thanks Andrea

Andrea, if you want to fill a variable with the characteristic's attribute of another variable look at the document "HowTo_BPS_VarOfTypeExit.pdf" (i send at your e-mail if you want). It Follows an extract in which it's filled the second variable with the characteristic's attribute of another variable:
Source code: Attribute values
SELECT * FROM /bi0/mbps_produ INTO TABLE lt_chavl
WHERE bps_prodl = ls_varsel-low.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE e026(upc) WITH ls_varsel-low '0BPS_PRODL'.
attribute value not found
exit.
endif.
ls_varsel-seqno = '0000'.
ls_varsel-chanm = '0BPS_PRODU'.
LOOP AT lt_chavl INTO ls_chavl.
ls_varsel-seqno = ls_varsel-seqno + 1.
ls_varsel-low = ls_chavl-bps_produ.
APPEND ls_varsel TO eto_charsel.
ENDLOOP.
In the example above ls_varsel contains the attribute value to provide to eto_charsel (the output table in which you have the result).
I suggest you to debug your application to see how ito_attr is passed to the FM.
Hope it helps.

Simple exit function

Hi All,
I am new BPS planning functions, I am trying to write a simple exit function to manipulate amount.
Example: For value type as Plan i.e. '020' , I want to added constant to existing values say '100'.
like price = price + 100 (for all value types as '020').
I know this can be done by formula function as well , I know that i need to build a function inorder to create a exit function. I need help in building the ABAP code.
Any help greatly appreicated.
Regards,
Reddy.

Hi Vachan,
Thanks for the reply, you mentioned that XXX-value type.
What XXX stand for? As i am new to SAP please can you be of more specific.
