Cant use subtitution variable in dlr header

Hi all,
I want to put in the dlr header the current year subtitution variable and for some reason the essbase ignore this variable when Im launching the dlr.
my syntax is (on header): member1, member2, &CurrYear
I'm getting warning message: "No data values modified by load of this data file",
whem I'm swapping the variable in the real member im getting message of success,
can someone have a solution for it?
thanks

Should write the subtitution variable with double quotes.

BADI cant use an internal table with header line

hi,
In BADI, we cant use an internal table with header line, and I am calling a function module which requires internal table as import parameter, now, the table I am passing is without a header line, So how to solve this problem ?

You can use a type and then create an internal table of that type.
types :
begin of t_<example>
*field list
end of t_<example>
data :
gt_<table> type standard table of t_<example>
pass this to the FM

OBIEE 11g: Use presentation variable in Column Heading

Hi everyone,
I was playing around with sample app dashboards and I saw a dashboard prompt that they converted into a column selector. I liked it and reproduced it in my own sandbox.
I like the results, however, I would also like to change the column heading to clearly reflect which measure was selected. It's pretty clear when you are looking in the dashboard, but once you export the data, it can be confusing which measure was selected.
That is why I would like to use a presentation variable in the column heading section. I tried to do this but it interpreted it as a literal instead of evaluating the statement.
Is there anyway to get a variable in the column heading?
Thanks!

Using environment variable in rule file

Hi,
I want to datacopy from one cube (scenario Forecast) to another (scenario FcstJan, FcstFeb, and so on) based on which month is running currently. I want to use environment variable in the rule file. The Forecast data will be extracted in .txt and will be imported to the second cube in FcstJan if current month is Jan and same for Feb, Mar..... The CurrentMth will be my env variable.
Can anyone please let me know how I can use that variable in the rule file. Or, if there is any other way to load the same.
Thanks.

You could just set a substitution variable and then use the substitution variable in the header of the rule.
Have a read of :- Re: Data error
to understand about using substitution variables in the header of a rule file.

Show the period value in column header using Text Variable

We are using Posting Period & Financial Year to calculate YTD & MTD, for current year and previous years. These posting period and financial year characteristics are custom created characteristics we are using due to customer specific requirement.
Input values are posting period, financial year and numeric value. To calculate previous year, I need to subtract numeric value from the input financial year. Every thing is working fine up to this.
In the report I need to show the posting period and financial year values dynamically in each column header of the report for MTD, YTD for current year & previous year. I tried to achieve this using Text Variables, but I didnt succeed. If some one can give me some idea to resolve this, it would be very helpful.
I am excellent in ABAP coding. If you can specify me to code in User Exit, I can do it.
Column headers should be 08.1999 Sales Qty, 08.2008 Sales Qty, 1999 Sales Qty, 2008 Sales Qty.

Hi Abhinav,
Try using the content text variables 0T_FYEAR and 0T_FPER3, when used in the head these variable should display the year and period specified in the RKF.
e.g
&0T_FPER3&. &0T_FYEAR& Sales Qty = 08.1999 Sales Qty
If that doesnt work, try creating text replacement path variables referencing the variables you created for the year and period input. To do this click on the RKF and click on the dropdown by the yellow box next to the description on the general tab and select New Variable, enter the description, tech name and set processng by to Replacment Path, then select period as the ref. characteristic, then on the replacement path tab change replace variable with to variable and then select the variable you are using for the period input, save then hit ok, this is now a text representation of the variable your are inputing for period and can be used in the column headers, you will need to repeat the process for the fiscal year.
Hope this helps

Using a variable in a js function argument

Folks,
This is very basic, but I still cannot get it...
I have this js function in an ASP page:function MM_changeProp(objId,x,theProp,theValue) { //v9.0
var obj = null; with (document){ if (getElementById)
obj = getElementById(objId); }
if (obj){
    if (theValue == true || theValue == false)
      eval("obj.style."+theProp+"="+theValue);
    else eval("obj.style."+theProp+"='"+theValue+"'");
}i don't understand the function, as it was put in automatically by dreamweaver. right now, i am using this onclick event of an image:<div id="apDiv19" onclick="MM_changeProp('apDiv7','','backgroundColor','#FFFF00','DIV')"></div>the #FFFF00 is the color YELLOW. it is being passed to the theValue argument of the js. what i simply want to do is establish a global variable that will house a color string (like #FFFF00), and then use it in the function argument everytime i need the function. something like this:<div id="apDiv19" onclick="MM_changeProp('apDiv7','','backgroundColor',VARIABLE,'DIV')">i do not know how to do two things:
1) initialize and assign the variable a value, and where to establish it (inside the script tags? in the head? in the body?)
2) how to use the variable as an argument in the function
any help greatly appreciated for this novice. thanks!

Using a variable in Spry conditional tests included in a Spry Tooltip

I have the following code:
<div spry:region="company" id="tooltip">
<div spry:repeat="company" spry:choose="spry:choose">
<div spry:when="'{name}'==memberName">
<table>
<tr>
<td
align="center"><h2>{name}</h2></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center"><img src="{headshot}"
alt="{name}" width="227" height="350" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">{description}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var tooltip_trigger_one = new
Spry.Widget.Tooltip("tooltip","#trigger", {showDelay: 200,
hideDelay: 200, offsetX: 250, offsetY: 200} );
</script>
where the variable "memberName" is set elsewhere to a value
that matches one of the occurrences in the column "name" in the
dataset "company". I can see, using debugging tools, that the
variable is being set correctly. But.... when the tooltip is
triggered, only a small few-pixel square box opens up.
If, instead of using the variable "memberName" in:
<div spry:when="'{name}'==memberName">
I use a string, as in
<div spry:when="'{name}'=='John Doe'">
then the code works correctly and I get a large tootlip
showing me the correct information for that member of the company.
I have tried different tests (spry:if and spry:test for
instance), tried various combinations of quotes and parenthesis and
tried placing the code at various places both inside and outside of
the <body> -- but always get the same results.
Is it not possible to test against a variable or am I doing
something else incorrectly?
Thanks,
Janet

OK.... some progress to report.
I was setting memberName onmouseover-- which is also the
trigger for the tooltip-- thusly:
<p><em onmouseover="memberName='John Doe'"
id="trigger">John Doe</em></p>
It seems that the variable is being set, but too late, as the
trigger has already caused the div... id="tooltip"> to be
evaluated with "memberName" not equal to any of the names in the
dataset. I tried using a function call to set "memberName" and
tried putting the onmouseover in the <p> tag and leaving the
trigger id in the <em> tag. but neither of those appear to
change the outcome. "memberName" still appears to be set to the
value I initialized it to up the the <head> section at the
time the tooltip <div> is evaluated. Although it is set
correctly if I check it's value using Firebug after I have
mouse-overed it.
Incidentally, using a Firebug breakpoint just before the
<div spry:when...> and checking the value of memberName was
how I discovered that "memberName" still seemed to have a value of
"initialized" which is what I set it to up in the <head>
section.
Having written all of this, I am wondering though, shouldn't
the value of "memberName" be equal to "John Doe" the second time I
mouseover it? Or, if there are more than one trigger "names" on the
page, shouldn't "memberName" be equal to the name of the previous
trigger that I moused-over? And with memberName having a legitimate
value at that point, shouldn't the tooltip now show the correct
display information rather than just that little few pixel square
box that I am getting when I mouse-over the trigger name?
Clearly there is something that I just am not understanding.

Using a variable in "arrayTerminatedBy" clause while using a file adapter

Hi All,
How can read a file of sample shown below using a file adapter.
ABC|20081010|
2008|xxxxxxx|
2007|yyyy|
2009|zzzzzzz|
3|20081010|
first line is the header
last line is footer
middle portion is the body
'3' in the footer is the total no of record count in the body
I am able to read the header and body.
The problem i am facing is; when it is reading the footer it is treating the footer as a record in the body and is throwing an error stating - expected the format as "yyyy"
I have to use "arrayTerminatedBy" to indicate the end of the body. But that terminating field is a varying field. How can i use this variable field in the "arrayTerminatedBy" clause.
Can any one help in reading this file
Thanks in advance

See if this helps, I haven't tested it but it will give you a hint in how to achieve it. As you can see I use the startsWith command. I'm not sure how to handle your detail as it seems to start with different elements every time.

Time Format using text variable with replacement path

Hi Friends,
I've used "Text variable with replacement path" to make the column heading dynamic by replacing the values referring from "0calday"...
everything is working fine, but here it is displaying the time format like
YYYYMMDD (20030101), i want it to be displayed DDMMYYYY (01012003) in the column heading... how to make it possible?
pls waiting for ur inputs, it's an urgent...
Regards,
Pattnaik

Hi Satyakam,
In the text variable properties make sure that in the replacment path you have chosen "Text" to appear date as per user setting . Other wise as in your case it must be set to "Key" which always shows in the format YYYYMMDD.
Hope that helps.

Using a Variable with AJAX

Hello,
Below I have posted code that I have on two different PHP files, tsearch12.php and votes12.php. The code works great. The file "tsearch12.php" uses AJAX to go to votes12.php to perform some functions. However, the first page has a variable called "find." These two pages only work together when the variable "find" equals "santafe." I would like them to work together regardless of what "find" equals. In other words, I would like to replace the table name "santafe" in votes12.php with the variable "find," but I want the variable "find" to equal the same value in both tsearch12.php and votes12.php. The variable "find" is going to tsearch12.php from another file, which has a simple HTML form with "<form action="tsearch12.php" method="post">" and "<input type="text" name="find" size="55"/>". Anyway, how do I use the variable "find" in votes12.php?
Thanks in advance,
John

Using a variable outside of the block it has been incremented

Hello everyone,
I came across a scenario where in I am having to use a variable (for summing up), outside of the block within which it has been incremented. Its something like below:
-------------- Header section of MS Word RTF (repeats for every page) -----------------------
For Each Header
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'TotalTax', 0)?>
-------------- Body section of MS Word RTF -----------------------
<?start:body?>
Lines Group
Increment TotalTax for each loop
End Lines Group
<?end body?>
-------------- Footer section of MS Word RTF (repeats for every page)-----------------------
<?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, 'TotalTax')?>
End For Each Group
---------------------------- End of template ----------------------------
The varaible 'TotalTax' is being declared in the header, incremented within the Body and is being used in the footer section. For the above mentioned syntax, the value being displayed for TotalTax is '0', i.e the value for which it has been defaulted while declaration.
Can someone please help me in getting it fixed such that TotalTax would display the value it was assigned in the Body rather than '0'.
Thanks,

Hello and thank you for responding. I checked out the link you provided; however, my problem is not reviwed there.
I am setting a variable inside a <?start:body?>. Inside the body are several loops - which is fine. But it ends with <?end body?>. If I reference my variable BEFORE <?end body?> it retains it's value from the calculations within the program. But if I try to use the variable AFTER the <?end body?>, it give me an error "NULL" value or similar.
Any thoughts?

Using a Variable on More than One Page

Hello,
I would like to use the same variable on three pages. Right now I can only get it to work on two. The first page has a simple HTML form where the variable is entered. The second page uses the variable just fine. I am using AJAX to refer to a third page, and I'm not sure how to use the same variable on the third page. The variable is called "find."
On the second page, I have this:
$find = strip_tags($find);
$find = trim ($find);
$result=mysql_query("SHOW TABLES FROM sand2 LIKE '%$find%'")
or die(mysql_error());
The second page then has AJAX which points to a third page/URL, and on this third page/URL, I have this:
function getAllVotes($id)
$votes = array();
$q = "SELECT * FROM santafe WHERE id = $id";
On the third page, I would like to replace the table "santafe" with the variable "find," the same variable that I use on the second page. How do I do this?
Thanks in advance,
John

Hi Mark,
The thing is, I am supplying a form for the user. Once a value for $find is entered, this value will not change if the browser is not closed, even if a new one is entered into the form.
Here is what I have:
On a page called index.php, I have the following form:
<form action="tsearch12.php" method="post">
<label>Enter Value:
<input type="text" name="find" size="55"/>
<input type="hidden" name="searching" value="yes" />
<input type="submit" name="search" value="Search" />
</label>
</form>
Then, on tsearch12.php, I have this code in the header:
<?php
session_start();
$find = strip_tags($find);
$find = trim ($find);
$_SESSION['find'] = $find;
?>
Then, later on in tsearch12.php, I have this code:
<?
if ($searching =="yes")
if ($find == "")
echo "<p>You forgot to enter a search term";
exit;
mysql_connect("mysqlv3", "username", "database") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("sand2") or die(mysql_error());
$find = strip_tags($find);
$find = trim ($find);
The page tsearch12.php later makes an AJAX request to a page called votes12.php, which has this in its header:
<?php
session_start();
?>
This code all works perfectly for the first value that the user enters in the form on index.php. However, when the user returns to index.php and enters a second value into the form, the variable $find does not change to the second value. How can I change the session to make it so that $find can change when a user returns to the original form and enters in a new value?
Thanks,
John

Error while using the variable name "VARIABLE" in variable substitution

Hi Experts,
I am using variable substitution to have my output filename set as a payload field value. It is working fine when I am using the variable name as fname, subs etc but channel goes in error when I am using the variable name as "VARIABLE". This is probably a reserved word but i would like to know where i can find a detailed documentation on this. Say things to note / restrictions while using variable substitution.
This is the error in the channel:
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error during variable substitution: java.text.ParseException: Variable 'variable' not found in variable substitution table: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.configuration.DynamicConfigurationException: Error during variable substitution: java.text.ParseException: Variable 'variable' not found in variable substitution table
Thanks,

Hi Zevik,
Thanks for the reply. The output file is created correctly by merely changing the variable name to something else and hence the doubt.
Below is the configuration:
Variable Substituition
VARIABLE payload:interface_dummy,1,Recordset,1,Header,1,field1,1
Filename schema : TEST_%VARIABLE%.txt
Output xml structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

- <Detail>
<identifier>A</identifier>
<field1>000000002</field1>

I thimk my configuration is correct as it is working correctly with the variable name change, However, maybe i missed something !
