Broadcasting - General Precalculation Variable Assignment

Hi All,
Just have a query regarding Broadcast settings for a bex Query with variables.
After creating the broadcast settings under the "General Precalculation"
Variable Assignment
> Determine from Variants options
Can anyone tell me where do we have to create these variants so as to select them from the Broadcast settings window and map it to the query varaibles??
Thanks
Rao

Hi Rao,
You just need to execute ur query ( either in Bex Analyser or Web analyser ). In the selection screen you can enter the values for ur variable & save as a variant ( ex: VARIANT1 ).
In broadcasting now click now variant tab there u can see the VARIANT1 which was created during query execution.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sheetal

Variable string "VAR_01" is not filled - BEX Broadcasting - General precal

Hello BEX guru,
When trying to use BEX broadcasting ->General precalculation (trying to precalculate liket the old reporting agent), i am getting this error. However, once going to the "Variable Values" to create I am getting the "BEX web Analysis" screen with prompt to "new analysis, open, save as...tab". I've tried using RSRT and create a global variable for one of my query that has the variable prompt but still nothing. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
HarryT

Hi,
For the webtemplate, create a global variant. This variant you can use it the precalculation.

Variable Assignment in General Precalculation tab of BI 7.0 broadcaster

Hi,
In the broadcast setting, under General precalculation tab variable values can be set up. When we are clicking create variable values, screen with all the variables of the query were coming.
After entering data in the variables and clicking OK, values are not being transferred to the Broadcast setting. The variable page remains like that with out transferring to the Pre Calculation tab.
We are on SAPKW70020.Distribution type used is Broadcast email, output fornat is MHTML. I tried with other output types, but same result.
We are using query as the object type for creating Bex Broadcaster.
Has anyone ran into this issue before?
Thanks & Regards,
Pradeep

Hi Mohan,
You have opened up an old post, so many responses might be to answer the initial question.
However, to answer your question, when you click 'Create' next to the 'VAR01 in Variable assignment, what you see is a popup window with the 'Ready for Input' variable present in your query/ workbook/ template, which is the same variable screen which you get when you execute the same query/ workbook/ template independently. You can then enter values for those variables and click OK, to save it and to be passed to the broadcasting setting. The broadcast would then happen for the same variable values.
However, if you face the issue mentioned by Pradeep, then after clicking OK, you can cancel the popup window. The values of the variables would still be passed.
After the popup window closes, you can see the 'Create', you initially saw, replaced with 'Change'. This means the values are saved.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Abhishek.

Dynamic variable assignment under general precalc tab of broadcasting

Is there a way to dynamically assign variable values to the "general precalculation" tab under broadcasting? I am broadcasting a report and I want to change the variable values every month dynamically. I want to write an ABAP program that can fill the variant valus under that general precalculation tab. Is this possible?

There is a table RSRD_SETT_NODE_a that contains all the broadcast settings. It has the variable values. We wrote an ABAP program to update this value. We can save a variant of this program and run the variant before we run the broadcast. The broadcast setting, variable name we want to update, and the class to pass values to this variable are input parameters to the program. Let me know if you want more details.

Broadcasting and Variable Assignment

Dear Experts,
I want to assign variable in broadcasting dynamically. For example, this variable will be changed every month. I tried to set the variant on BEx Analyzer, and looked into the table TVARV, but I couldn't find my variant in that table. Is there any way to assign variable dynamically?

Hi CSM Reddy,
1. while creating your Broadcasting Settings ... you can use your Variable for OLAP Cache.
    Question1. How and where can I use variable for OLAP Cache in broadcasting. What I just see is variable assignment in the General Precalculation tab
    Question2. Variable for OLAP Cache you said is the same as the variable created in Query Designer, right?
2. then you make sure the variable in Bex is setup with "Ready for input" unchecked
    Question1. I have to allow users to input month to see the report in the month they want, so I think I can't default the value for this variable.
    Question2. What do you mean 't Type variable'?

Variable Assignment : Workbook broadcast

Hi gurus,
We have been broadcasting 31 Inventory workbooks on a weekly basis for the past couple of months. The workbook is based on 1 inventory query which has a Cal Month and Store Location as mandatory variables. Obviously, while broadcasting the same, we should be able to set these variables in the Variable Assignment of the Workbook Precalculation Tab.
Earlier I was able to see them in the variable assignment assignment for this workbook. We havn't changed the query, no changes in the system, No changes at all. But now I am not able to see a single variable in the variable assignment except for this variable that says Tech.Cont.: Time Frame for which Data is Selected.
I am not sure where can I see the variants for this workbook. Anyways, we havn't mentioned any variants in the workbook precalculation tab. Please help me with this issue.
I executed the query and tried broadcasting the corresponding query, Here I am able to see the variable assignment. But not for the corresponding workbook. Creating all the settings right from the scratch for changing from workbook broadcast to query result broadcast would be a very tedious task which I don't want to undertake right now.
Can anyone please help me with this problem.
Thanks & rgds,
Sree

Hi Murali,
Thanks for your answer and sorry wasn't able to respond early.
As I had mentioned, this problem didn't exist earlier. However, all of a sudden, we have started to face this issue. Global variants were never created because we are not using the option of VARIANTS, instead we use Variable Assignments. This has been the practice for the past many months, but all of sudden since last month, we started having this strange issue where we could'nt determine the variable assignment.
When know I click on the variable assignment create link, there is only one variable that appears in the screen "Tech.Cont.: Time Frame for which Data is Selected", I donot see any other variables. Earlier though, i was able to see all the other variables (Plant, division, etc).
Please let me know if you have any answer for this issue.
Thnks & rgds,
Sree

Kindly,give me a solution for this.
Thanks,
Mohan Chand Reddy A

Hai Shakir,
First i thank q for ur reply to my question.But is it correct that we should assign Variables only in the Workbook Precalculation tab?Some one are suggesting like variables can be given both in foreground calculation i.e., while creating a workbook and also we should give the same variables in the workbook precalculation tab.But in one document, i found there is no variable assignment tab in the Broadcasting settings.It means they might have given variables in the workbook creation itself.
Please,reply me.It's very urgent.
Thanks,

Bex Broadcaster can't click past OK in variable assignement

Hi All,
Form the portal Broadcast settings in general precalculation settings when I try to change variable values selection from that actual screen I can't click past ok after selecting the variable.
we are BW 7.02 and on IE8
from reading some posts on SDN i have already tried and I have turned of SmartScreen Filter off/ Phising filter off and also looked at note
1498753 - Variable screen not closed in Bex Broadcaster, but this has not resolved our issue.
has anyone else faced a similar issue
Thanks
Forhad

Thank you for your suggestion. I want to make sure I understand you correctly so I have a few questions.
Is this transparent table that you are using in your BW system or in your ECC system? Our BW and ECC systems are on different machines using different databases. Do you load the data from this table into your BW system for this to work? I think I understand that you are creating a way to create the missing master data so the BEX 7 query does not give the error message allowing the user to input their range of values.
If I understand you correctly I would create my Z table in our ECC system with the fields you mentioned, create a DSO or something simple in our BW system and load the data each time a user wants to use a new range of values for the field so that the field's master data would exist.
Am I understanding you correctly?
I don't think this solution, if I am understanding it correctly, will work for us because I don't think I can just add new Vendor Numbers like you were able to do with a date field. The Vendor is tied to a lot of other things, master data, ...
Thanks,
Jeri

Variable assignment in BEx Broadcaster

I'm trying to broadcast a web template directly from the Broadcaster, and want to assign variables. I've tried Determine from Variant, and it works like a charm.
As I understand it I should be able to enter the variables manually by using Determine Here, but it doesn't seem to work for me.
I choose VAR_01 from the Name dropdown, and click Create. Then I can enter my variables, and then what? If I click OK the report is generated in the same popup window, and from there I can do nothing but close the window, and the variables are not assigned.
Can somebody help. Am I doing something wrong, is it a bug or have I simply misunderstood everything?

Jacob,
I have the same issue after I applied SP13 but I did not have this problem in SP11.
Please let me, [email protected], know if you have a solution for this? Thanks.
Regards,
Ba
