BPS: Possible to limit a variable to a single value?

Hello,
I have a BPS variable which is available in the planning folders so the user can change the value himself.
For a planning layout, one and only one value is required, as the system otherwise wouldn't know which value to use when saving data. It is possible though for the user to select both a mix of values and ranges. I see the lowest value is always used. Consequently this is not technically a problem.
I would like to limit the variable to a single value only, in order to not confuse the users. Is this possible?
Best regards,
Christoffer Owe

Hi,
The following link tells you about the variable type ;

1. create variables with single values
2.while creating variable tick the setting 'Restriction of values required by user'
I think that will suffice your requirement .

Error that "specify a value for variable posting period (single value entry

hi
My query is running testing fine in RSECADMIN under some username..but when i try and open it using analyzer (under same username) it gives me error that "specify a value for variable posting period (single value entry, mandatry)" it does'nt even asks to enter variable values and gives this error message.
However the same query appears to be working fine under different username.
plz advise.

Hi Abhinav,
Just do one thing compare the Roles of two different users for which Query is getting executed and not.
Check the Object S_RFC.
Compare the Objects detail for Both the Users.
Please Assign points if useful.

Copy using Variables with multiple single values in BEX

Hi,
I have a requirement wherein on executing the planning function, the system should take the FROM and TO values of 0FISCPER and copy the data accordingly.
Source variable is 'Single Value'.
Target variable is 'Multiple Single Value'.
I tried to give the Command Range as below:
$A$30:$C$31.
The button sequence is as below:
VAR_NAME_1      0         ZFISCPER
VAR_VALUE_1     0
VAR_NAME_2      1         ZFISCPER_M
VAR_VALUE_2     1
In the Analyzer, I entered the values as
In A30, VAR_NAME_1     0     =C20
In A31, VAR_NAME_2     1     =C21:C24
The values that I entered are as below:
C20 =   2007001 - Source value
C21 =   2007002 - Target values
C22 =   2007003
C23 =   2007004
C24 =   2007005.
The problem that Im facing is the system is unable to identify the multiple values that I enter for Target Fiscper and it displays as :#VALUE!
How to enter multiple single values and reference them accordingly?
Rgds,
Shyam

Hi,
I have tried to enter multiple single values as below:
VAR_VALUE_1     0     000 - Source
VAR_VALUE_1     1     003 - Target
VAR_VALUE_2     1     010
VAR_VALUE_3     1     080
VAR_VALUE_4     1     099
When I tried to execute the planning function, the system copies the data from version 000 to ALL versions irrespective of values entered above.ie:
1
2
3
10
80
99
100
110

You need to click the "Go" button. That is what sets the variable.

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

Subject: BW Query Variable – Multiple Single Values

I have set a characteristic variable on process chain id. In General tab, Variable is u201Cprocess by manual inputu201D.
In Details tab, I set:
Variable represents Multiple Single Values, Variable is ready for Input
When I run my query, I can select multiple process chain ids. Problem is query returns process chain information for only one value (first value entered for process chain id in multiple selections. I have verified process chain information exists for all the multiple values.
Appreciate any feedback.

Thanks, I do not find any other restrictions. If I simply remove the variable which lets me spacify multiple single values, I see
all the process chains. When I add this variable to query under retsriction and run the query, I see pop-up and I can enter multiple values, but only first one is being searched. There is probably some setting in variable definition somewhere that it only processes first value.
Is there a way in RSRT to show me entire ABAP code of the query.
I ran RSRT set some break points but it is kind hard to troubleshoot. If I had the entire code, I can try to understand what is being done.

Difference between Multiple single values and Selection option variables

Hi !
Can any one tell me the difference between variable types:
Multiple single values and Selection option?
I used each one of them for selecting values for a characteristic but could not notice a difference in choosing values.
Is there some difference in functionality or can they be used interchageably?
Regards,
Sri Harsha

Harsha,
When you go for slection option, in the variable input screen you will be having a button in the last where you can give your slections. There you can maintain either multiple single values and Multiple intervals or else not equal to also..
Just check out there... you will be having tabs for each..

IP: Exit-variable multiple single values

Hello,
I have a question to Exit-Variables in IP. I'd like to fill an Exit-variable with several single values, e.g. A, D, G. At the moment I could transfer only one single value, e.g. A, with following coding:
l_example TYPE CHAR VALUE 'A'.
l_s_range-low = l_example.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
APPEND l_s_range TO p_t_range.
How could I change the coding for transferring several single values?
Many thanks for your help.
Friedrich

Hi,
take whatever values you want to populate into one internal table l_example. Then loop over this internal table.
Loop at l_example into wa_example.
l_s_range-low = wa_example-value.
l_s_seqno = sy-tabix.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
insert l_s_range INTO TABLE p_t_range.
clear wa_example.
Endloop.
Hope this works.

Bindu

Variable exit not taking multiple single values...urgent pls

Hi BW Guru's
I have created an variable exit where the variable represents mulitple single values.
In the customer exit when i trying to populate mulitiple values and move it to e_t_range it is not taking multiple values. I have also observed that it is a line item type. I want to know if there is anyway out since it is an urgent requirement. Any help would highly appreciated. I shall also award points accordingly. Thanks.

Hi Anil,
Thanks for your prompt response.
I guess i am missing out some thing.
The scenaio is like this I want to hard code some values which have to be removed from the selection hence I have created the variable with multiple single value variable and I have removed (unchecked) ready for input as it is not required. After your suggestion I have also made it mandatory but after running the query I am getting a message Abort no value determined. I have written this code under if i_step = 1.
My code goes like this.
DATA: BEGIN OF I_SO_VENDNO occurs 0,
        SOURCSYS TYPE /BIC/TZSO_VEND-/BIC/ZSOURCSYS,
        ZSO_VEND TYPE /BIC/TZSO_VEND-/BIC/ZSO_VEND,
        TXTMD TYPE /BIC/TZSO_VEND-TXTMD,
      END OF I_SO_VENDNO.
select * from /BIC/TZSO_VEND into table i_so_vendno.
loop at i_so_vendno where TXTMD CS 'GREAT LAKES'.
      l_s_range-low = i_so_vendno-zso_vend.
      l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
      l_s_range-opt = 'NE'.
      append l_s_range to e_t_range.
      clear: e_t_range, l_s_range, i_so_vendno.
endloop.
Want to know if I am missing out something.
Thanks.

Variable not transfer the value to planning function

Hi,
I am facing a problem while executing the planning sequence.
In my workbook I have a button, behind that button one planning sequence is attached ( it copy the quantity from one scenario to other scenario) along with two varaible. Value for variable is pass behind the button.
Both variable are multiple single value type.
CMD                                                1         EXECUTE_PLANNING_SEQUENCE (copy)
PLANNING_SEQUENCE_NAME        1        YNDPP59_A_SQ046
VAR_NAME_1                                1        YQUXN_YN_SCENAR_007(from scenario)
VAR_VALUE_EXT_1                        1         F25
VAR_NAME_2                                1        YQUXO_YN_SCENAR_001(to scenario)
VAR_VALUE_EXT_2                        1         F50
Now, I have other buttons in my workbook. They used to copy from one scenario to other but variable for scenario use is same for all.
Example Scenario :-
Button 1:- copy demand to photo demand
Button 2:- copy confirmed demand to demand
Before Image
Basin   Subfamily Quarter    KF1(Demand)   KF2(Photo Demand) KF3(Confirmend Demand)
100           70        20083         100 To                 0 To                       200 To
First time:
When I used button 1(copy demand to photo demand) it's works fine.
Basin   Subfamily Quarter    KF1(Demand)   KF2(Photo Demand) KF3(Confirmend Demand)
100           70        20083         100 To                 100 To                       200 To
I do the manual changes in Key figure(demand)
Basin   Subfamily Quarter    KF1(Demand)   KF2(Photo Demand) KF3(Confirmend Demand)
100           70        20083         150 To                 100 To                       200 To
then use button2 (copy confirmed demand to demand) it works fine
Basin   Subfamily Quarter    KF1(Demand)   KF2(Photo Demand) KF3(Confirmend Demand)
100           70        20083         200 To                 100 To                       200 To
Second time:
When I used button 1(copy demand to photo demand) it's works fine.
Basin   Subfamily Quarter    KF1(Demand)   KF2(Photo Demand) KF3(Confirmend Demand)
100           70        20083         200 To                 200 To                       200 To
I do the manual changes in Key figure(demand)
Basin   Subfamily Quarter    KF1(Demand)   KF2(Photo Demand) KF3(Confirmend Demand)
100           70        20083         150 To                 200 To                       200 To
then use button2 (copy confirmed demand to demand )it didn't work fine
Basin   Subfamily Quarter    KF1(Demand)   KF2(Photo Demand) KF3(Confirmend Demand)
100           70        20083         150 To                 150 To                       200 To
it executed the planning sequence running behind button 1
So, problem is my variable keep the last values. Please, help me to solve this problem.
Thanks and regards,
Deepak Singh

Hi,
Your post is little bit confusing ;
What i understood is that your planning function is not running with proper value of variables ;
Two things can be the reasons :
1. the data set that you are running for second time may be improper which can be when the data is not saved in cube
2. The variable value is wrong ; please check in debug what value of variable it is taking; if for the first time the value of variable is proper than there shouldn't be any error for second time;
Post your questions in little simpler way that will be easy to understand;
Thanks

Is it possible to limit the number of attachments

Is is possible to limit the number of attachments that the mail server will receive in a message. For example if the email has 5 or more attachments reject it or through it in the bitbucket.
The reason I ask is I have a remote site that is sending me 500+ email messages with 40 attachments in each. Well with virus scanning in the conversion channel it really backs things up.
I have looked in the manual but have not been able to find anything.
I am running ims5.2 patch 1.15 on HP-UX. Soon it will be patch 1.25 when school is out.
Thanks,
Gary

Since each message is usually in a separate MIMEpart, you could use the conversion channel to do what you're asking, but . . .
Routing every message through conversion will be a pretty big performance hit.
How about simply blocking that particular site with an
ORIG_SEND_ACCESS
mapping entry in your mappings file?

Unable to enter single value for a variable in BPS

Hi,
I am using a variable for 'Posting Period' of type 'User defined values' defined in my Planning Area . I am able to input a range of values like 1-3, 1-12, 5-10 etc.
But, my problem is that, when I have to give one value, ie 1-1 or 5-5, I am not allowed. Its gives a message that upper limit should be greater than the lower limit. Any suggestions?
Is there a way, to define a variable in such a way that it can accept both ranges and single values?
Regards,
Srinivas Kamireddy.
Edited by: Srinivas Kamireddy on Apr 1, 2008 8:08 PM

Hi,
we have this functionality overall in our system and i have not experienced,
that the system tries to set the upper limit on it's on (why 12 and not for example 13?).
How can you see that the system uses 12 as the upper limit?

Creation of Variable with single values in BPS

Dear All,
I have a very basic requirement in creating variables that would accept single values from the user in BPS.
Could anyone pls provide me the steps in doing so?
I am able to create and use varibles with value ranges but could not find the option to create variables with single values.

Hi Raj,
I have already been thru SAP help file but, though it says we can create variables with single values, it does not provide any steps in creating it.
Any suggestions?
