BPS - Variable value selection

Is there a way, where a user (e.g. admin) could make a selection for a variable from multiple values in a dropdown in a web application, and have the selection enforced for all users?
William Lee

Current options, whether bps0 or uploading, are a little hard to swallow for the client, especially when the application is already web-enabled. Hope your how-to paper will address this typical admin/user relationship and in essence enable on-web adminstration of variable values. Looking forward. Thanks Marc.

Clear BPS variables values

I wrote an ABAP program to clear BPS variables values defined for the user.
 DATA:
 lr_variable TYPE REF TO cl_sem_variable.
* Get variable instance
 CALL METHOD cl_sem_variable=>get_instance
 EXPORTING
 i_area = I_AREA
 i_variable = 'ZPVDEP' "z_v_var
 RECEIVING
 rr_variable = lr_variable
 EXCEPTIONS
 not_existing = 1
 OTHERS = 2.
 IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* do s.th., eg send a message
 EXIT.
 ENDIF.
* delete the restrictions
 CALL METHOD lr_variable->set_user_restriction
 EXPORTING
 i_user = sy-uname
 i_delete = 'X'
 EXCEPTIONS
 failed = 1
 OTHERS = 2.
In BPS0:
1. i restrict the variable with some values
2. execute planning function to clear the variable values
 But the restriction remains.
3. When i do /nBPS0 the variable restriction clears
As far as i understand the problem is in buffer. How can i clear buffered values of the variable in ABAP program?
i tried to call method CL_SEM_VARIABLE=>RESET_BUFFER.
but it doesn't work.
Thanks

Also i try such an ABAP code
 SELECT *
 FROM upc_var_cha_sel
 INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_var_cha_sel
 WHERE area = I_AREA
 AND var = ls_exitp-CHAVL
 AND varuser = sy-uname.
 IF sy-subrc = 0.
 DELETE upc_var_cha_sel FROM TABLE it_var_cha_sel.
 CALL FUNCTION 'DB_COMMIT'.
 ENDIF.
 REFRESH it_var_cha_sel.
 SELECT *
 FROM upc_var_cha_act
 INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_var_cha_sel
 WHERE area = I_AREA
 AND var = ls_exitp-CHAVL
 AND varuser = sy-uname.
 IF sy-subrc = 0.
 DELETE upc_var_cha_act FROM TABLE it_var_cha_sel.
 CALL FUNCTION 'DB_COMMIT'.
 ENDIF.
But the problem is the same
In BPS0:
1. i restrict the variable with some values
2. execute planning function to clear the variable values
But the restriction remains.
3. When i do /nBPS0 the variable restriction clears
Thanks

How to get BW-BPS variable value into Visual Basic?

Hello,
Scenario:
Time characteristic 0FISCYEAR has a variable ZVFYEAR. In layout this time characteristic is defined as DATA COLUMN. When user changes VFYEAR variables value i want to get the value of variable into Visual Basic and to format header for table in the layout.
How to get BW-BPS variable value into Visual Basic?
Could you help me?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Arunas Stonys

Hi,
If i understand your requirments correctly ,you need to read the value of the Variable and Put it on the layout. Here is how i would solve this,
Read the value of the variable using an ABAP program.The logic for this would be to read the variable value and post it on the layout on a cell.You can do this by calling the ABAP program on opening the layout.this can be done using LB_EXIT_FM T-code. Now using the SAP delivered SAPAfterDataPut macro, read the cell in which you have placed the variable values and assign it to the necessary values you want to on the layout.All this will be done before the layout opens.
Hope this helps.

Restricting Variable values selectively

How to restrict values of Variable while creating query. For Ex: I am creating variable for Fiscal Year and it has a value starting from 2000 to 2050.
So in my report it will show all the values, I would like to restrict it for say between 2002 and 2015.
Thanks
Raghu

Hi Raghu,
I hope u have already created a Variable for FISC Year,just check in the properties on the Variable ,in the details TAB,whether the TAB Variable Represents is Multiple Single values or Selection.
If not Create one more variable with the above settings and in the Default values in the Propewrties TAB you can specify the range as 2005 to 2012.
With this the report will run for the range u have given,incase if you want to change the value range then in the POP-UP screen ,change the values,say 2005 to 2015 and run the report.
There are other ways too ,but hope this meets ur Requirement.

Query performance when multiple single variable values selected

Hi Gurus,
I have a sales analysis report that I run with some complex selection criteria. One of the variables is the Sales Orgranisation.
If I run the report for individual sales organisations, the performance is excellant, results are dislayed in a matter of seconds. However, if I specify more than one sales organisation, the query will run and run and run.... until it eventually times out.
For example;
I run the report for SALEORG1 and the results are displayed in less than 1 minute.
I then run the report for SALEORG2 and again the results are displayed in less than 1 minute.
If I try to run the query for both SALEORG1 and SALEORG2, the report does not display any results but continues until it times out.
Anybody got any ideas on why this would be happening?
Any advise, gratefully accepted.
Regards,
David

While compression is generally something that you should be doing, I don't think it is a factor here, since query performance is OK when using just a sinlge value.
I would do two things - first make sure the DB stats for the cube are current. You might even consider increasing the sample rate for the stats collection if you are using one. You don't mention the DB you use, or what type of index is on Salesorg which could play a role. Does the query run against a multiprovider on top of multiple cubes, or is there just one cube involved.
If you still have problems after refreshing the stats, then I think the next step is to get a DB execution plan for the query by running the query from RSRT debugging mode when it is run with just one value and another when run with multiple values to see if the DB is doing something different - seek out your DBA if you are not familiar with executoin plan.

Pass variable value to Nested I-view

Hi All,
Short question:
In a nested I-view, how can i refer back to variable value (selected value in dropdown box) located in main I-view?
Detailed situation:
In VC i have quite a large table presenting x/customer over a variable fiscal year. If a customer is selected in that table another query is triggered and will show a chart with some specific info regarding that customer over that same fiscal year.
Thus: var. fiscal year --> first query --> table: x/customer --> action: customer selected --> second query --> chart: detailed customer info / var. fiscal year.
In the connection between the table and the second query i can configure the input field (fiscal year) and assigned value easily by select the input form concering the variable fiscal year.
However this construction works when i keep everything in one I-view. Regarding performance i've to split up my model into several nested i-views.
Therefore the dropdown box where the fiscal year can be selected and submitted is detached. So now, in my main I-view i've various dropdown boxes and some nested i-views.And In one of those i-views i've a 'signal in' (containing var. fiscal year) and the continuation of the ealier mentioned construction.
Now, when i'm trying to filter the connection between the table and the second query i'm not able to refer back to the input form containing the var. fiscal year (because its not in that Nested I-view, but in the main I-View). Also i'm not able to refer to the input signal.
Any suggestions?
Kind regards,
Bart

Hi Bart,
short answer
You have to pass your value with a signal in into your nested iView.

Marcel

Bps variable by authorization

Dear Friends,
I can tell a bps variable value is authorization-derived.
How can I know straightaway what is the authorization / object tied to this so that I can check / set the authorization?
Please can you give me some hints.
regards
H.C


Hi 
In BW 3.x, you can even go to t-code SU01, Enter User ID (whose authorizations have to checked) and press the Display button at top to see User Profile. 
In the next screen, you can navigate to different tabs like roles, profiles etc to get more details. If you double click on any role, system will display the specifics of that role.
 
Hope it helps.

Clear Flag for BPS user-specific variable values

Hi Experts!
I have a 'user-specific variable' settintg with the flag 'on', then the user should choose only one value.
But now I need execute an abap program which read all values available for this variable. For this reason, I need clear this flag with abap code, and after put on again.
Could somebody show me a small piece of abap code for this?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
Analysis of your question:
Second line of your question "...which read all values available for this variable".
1) When you mean you wish to read all possible values with which the variable could be filled up, then please use the Function Module:
UPC_CHA_VALUES_GET
The parameter ETO_CHAVL would then return all master data of the variable's characteristic
2) When you mean you wish to read all the variable values "selected from the user in the past" then use the function module
API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_GET_DETAIL
Here the table ETK_VARSEL_ALL returns you all the values selected by user in the past. The "current selected value" for the user is stored in the table "ETK_VARSEL".
Check out these How-To Documents. If these dosen't suffices, then please elaborate your requirement, for me to write a ABAP Pseudo-code.

Upload variable values to BPS

Hi All,
Is there any way to upload values to BPS variables?
I know we can definetly upload some values to Bex varialbes by flat file (or) personlaization.
Is the same can be done to BPS variables?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Reddy.

Hi,
no. If you have static Varible Selection, and one does not want to fill the variable table in BPS0, you can create small program to update these tables:
UPC_VAR_CHA_ACT
UPC_VAR_CHA_SEL.
The question is: which one is faster, manual entry in BPS0 or to create a program to update those tables?
If you have dynamic selection of a variable (i think this is the most situation happened), it is suggested to use Var exit.

Thanks Billy, Would you be able to suggest any other faster method to load the data into table. Thanks,
As Mark responded - it all depends on the actual data to load, structure and source/origin. On my busiest database, I am loading on average 30,000 rows every second from data in external files.
However, the data structures are just that - structured. Logical.
Having a data structure with 100's of fields (columns in a SQL table), raise all kinds of questions about how sane that structure is, and what impact it will have on a physical data model implementation.
There is a gross misunderstanding by many when it comes to performance and scalability. The prime factor that determines performance is not how well you code, what tools/language you use, the h/w your c ode runs on, or anything like that. The prime factor that determines perform is the design of the data model - as it determines the complexity/ease to use the data model, and the amount of I/O (the slowest of all db operations) needed to effectively use the data model.

SEM BPS locking even after user switches to a new variable value

Hi,
This is locking related question & appreciate any kind of suggestion.
Users are locking previously planned variable value even after changing to a new value which is causing another user with a locking issue.
I've a variable GROUP defined at planning level & included in the planning folder.
let's say USER1 is planning for GROUP1 & saved the data after planning.
same user has changed the variable to GROUP2 & is planning now without leaving UPSPL session.
at this point, when USER2 tries to plan for GROUP1 & is faced with a message "USER1 is currently processing the data".
currently, USER1 is planning for GROUP2 right? so, why it's still giving locking message (locking GROUP1).
I even followed SAP note 635244 & created a DB table & included GROUP characteristic in to the table but of not much help.
even after this, I still see that USER1 is locking both GROUP1 & GROUP2 in report UPC_ENQUEUE_READ.
Appreciate if any one can share your ideas to deal this kind of issue.

Hi Hari,
You indicated in your 1st post, that User 1 is able to access both Group 1 and Group 2. I am assuming in your configuration, multiple users share the same values in the Group variable and they are making selections on execution of your planning application.
If this is the case, User 1 switching to Group 2 using, e.g., a drop-down menu does not remove the lock on Group 1. Hence User 2 will get the lock message.
You defining a table in DDIC only specifies Group as a lock relevant characteristic. It will not prevent locking in this fashion.
The probable options could be:
1. Consider dividing Groups amongst users, and use user-specific values for your variable;
2. Consider additional characteristic that will separate data sets.
The central question I would ask about this planning process, is why would different users be editing the same group at the same time? Is there a way to differentiate their planning needs? That might help in your modeling.
Hope this helps.

How to clear variable value in BPS WIB?

Hi Experts:
I want to clear variable value in BPS,and I use this function 'API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_SET' to set its value to '#'. I got 1 question:
After I changed this variable manually in IE, the system 'remember' this variable in this program, so the function 'API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_SET' didn't work. I checked the table 'UPC_VAR_CHA_ACT' and found there is not any corresponding item for the current user and value.

But the Java script code is not working.I mean If I put nothing in password textbox the alert is not firing.
My code is wrong ?
