Charactestics with replacement path getting error (ple solve urgent)

hi frieds,
how are you. i created 2 queries
first query (sender)  customer material and quantity
2nd query (receiver)  customer sales.
now i went rsbbs and joined 2 queries. i went sender query and gto and rec i got 2 queries.
now i went sender query used varible characterstics with manual entry/default now i went receiver quer charracterstics with replacement path, when i am creting variable i am getting error like i can use variable in default value.
why.
ple let me know solution.
regards
ssk

SSK,
I'm not totally sure I understand what you mean by getting a characteristic with a replacement path.
Yes you need two queries for a RRI - one sender and one receiver.
When you run the sender query you may or may not enter variables into the query to run it. When the query is run you will select a row in your results area, right mouse click, select Got - and then pick the Query you have setup the RRI with from the resulting Context menu. 
Lets say you are on a row that contains the characteristics Customer / Material and Date. When you execute the jump, the values of the three characteristics for the row that you were on when you did the jump will automatically be passed to your receiver query, as long as those three characteristics exits in your receive query. They should not have any variables on them in the receive query - the jump passes the values from the sender query to the receiver query.
let me know how you get on.

  • Error while creating a Characteristic Variable with Replacement Path

    Hi all,
        I am trying to create the Characteristic Variable ZVLOWDT (Low Date') with Replacement Path on characteristic ZSTARTDT (Start Date) and it gives the error 'Source to replace 'Low Date' is not defined.
       I have created a User Entry Variable VAR_DATE (Start Date) with interval like '01/01/2009 - 01/15/2009'  and  Customer Exit variable ZVCPDAY (does some calculation based on the input of VAR_DATE) on the same ZSTARTDT characteristic. I want to get the 01/01/2009 (lower range date of the selection) into this Characteristic Variable ZVLOWDT. We are in BI 7.0 and the following are it's properties:
    General Tab:
    Description: Low Date
    Technical Name: ZVLOWDT
    Type of Variable: Characteristic Value
    Processing by: Replacement Path
    Reference Characteristic: ZSTARTDT Start Date
    Details Tab:
    Variable Represents : Single value
    Variable is: Mandatory
    Variable is Ready for Input : unchecked
    Replacement Path Tab: Replacement Rule
    Replace Variable with : Variable
    Variable : VAR_DATE
    Replace with : KEY
    Why I am getting this error, PLEASE ?
    Thanks,
    Venkat.

    Hi Khaja,
       We could derive a Variable value from another Variable with out Customer Exit. There is a white paper.
    First have the User Entry Variable (ZV_X) and it accepts the date range like '01/01/2009 - 01/31/2009'. Next create the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path for which source variable will be ZV_X and we could get the 'FROM Date' (01/01/2009) from the selection (ZV_X) into it (ZV_Y).
    While creating the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path, I didn't find my newly created ZV_X variable in the list of available variables under 'Variable' header in 'Replacement Path' tab and it is causing the error  'Source to replace variable ZV_Y is not defined'. How could I create the Characteristic variable of Replacement Path, PLEASE ?
    Thanks,

    The following is from help.sap..com:
    Replace with Characteristic Value
    Text and formula variables with the processing type Replacement Path can be replaced with a corresponding characteristic value. In the variable editor, on the General tab page, you specify under Reference Characteristic the characteristic that is to be referenced by the replacement. On the Replacement Path tab page, you can choose whether the variable is replaced with the From or the To Value and with the Key or the Name of the characteristic value. You can also specify the Offset Start and Offset Length for the output.
    Replace with Variable
    Characteristic value variables, hierarchy variables, text variables, and formula variables with the Replacement Path processing type can take their values from a different variable.
    The following prerequisites need to be fulfilled:
    Variable
    ●      The variable must not be input-ready
    ●      The variable must represent a single value
    Source Variable
    ●      The source variable must not be a hierarchy node variable
    ●      The source variable must be input-ready
    ●      The source variable must be available in the query
    ●      The source variable must represent a single value or an interval
    In the variable editor, on the Replacement Path tab page, you specify the source variable from which the value is to be determined. The value is either determined from the key, the external attribute of the key, the description, or the attribute value. You can specify an Offset Start and an Offset Length for the output here. The variable is replaced on the variable screen upon each data release.
    Thanks,
    Venkat.

    Hi Eve,
    It is possible to connect the 2 queries using a Replacement Path characteristic variable. You would need to create the variable on the char whose values you want to pass from Q1 to Q2. The variable will be of type replacement path and you will need to enter the name of Q1 from which it will get the values. Make sure that you include this char in the query definition of Q1 and Q2. In Q2 you will restrict the characteristic using this variable. DO not use this variable (replacement path) in Q1.
    In your query properties check if you have turned on the checkmark for Release for OLE DB for OLAP (3rd tab). If the check mark is there, then remove it.
    We are using the scenario in a couple of places, and it works very well.
    Hope this helps...

  • Variable with Replacement Path

    Hi, I have two queries. The results of the first one should be the input for the second one. E.g. the first query shows a list of personnel numbers and additional information. These personnel numbers shall be overtaken by the second query. The personnel numbers belong to "Dimensions" in the Query Designer. I alread tried to create a variable with replacement path to the dimension personnel number. I implementet this variable in both the first and the second query (under: "rows"). It`s no "Formular variable" and no "Calculated Key Figure" but a "Characteristic Value Variable" of a Dimension. The problem is now that I cannot execute any of the two queries. The error "Abort the query cannot be released for OLE DB for OLAP. System error in programm CL_RSR_REQUEST and form PREPARE_VQUERIES:INVALID_
    What is my mistake? Thank you in advance! Eve

  • Formula variable with replacement path to another input variable

    Hi @ all,
    i have a question regarding "Formula variable with replacement path to another input variable".
    My Problem is that in selection screen and for info-fields the input variable is shown with its key and not with its description.
    Scenario:
    A formula variable (X) is used to get an input value of a characteristic variable (Y) for 0Fiscper3 to realize a IF-Then scenario.
    The formula variable (X) uses replacement path by variable (Y) replace by "key".
    In selection screen of the query variable (Y) is named with its key "ZAB_BUPE01" and not with its description " fiscal period". Same as for info-fields where the description is "ZAB_BUPE01" and not " fiscal period".
    Does anybody have a solution to display the selection variable correctly?
    Regards
    Tobias

    Issue Solved!
    The input varaible (y) for 0Fiscper3 was saved globally on the InfoProvider. This results in that the formula variable with replacement path only shows its technical name. I put the input variable in the query itself and it soved the problem. The variable is displayed with its description in selection screen.

  • Can anyone explain with senairio for textvariables with replacement  path?

    can anyone explain with senairio for textvariables with replacement  path?

    Hi
    your query contains 3 columns...
    column1(year executed by user) column2(year-1) column3(year-2).
    when user enter 2006 key figures headings should appear like this
    2006 2005 2004...
    How can you solve this??
    so create a text variable of replacement path..replace with object year..
    so you will get the above out put..
    you can concatenate like
    actuals 2006 actuals 2005 actuals 2004...
    Hope it clears...

  • BW 3.5 - Issue with formula variable with replacement path

    Dear experts,
    I'm facing an issue with formula variable with replacement path.
    Just to clarify, I know replacement paths is raising a lot of questions but I've been using this functionnality extensively in the past, both in 7.0 and 3.5, so I'm not looking for basic information about how to use it.
    I'm trying to setup a simple report that would show total values per plant of Purchase Order < 100 €
    To do so I've setup a calculated key figure as follow:
    VAR1 * ("PO value" < 100 ) * "PO value"
    VAR1 is a formula variable with replacement path on 'purchase order' and value attribute 'constant =1'.
    (The report has to show values summarized by plant but should not show the detail PO by PO, so I'm not looking at a solution based on condition)
    The report as characteristic "plant" in rows and my CKF in columns.
    Now let's take an example. I have 3 POs in Plant 1:
    PO1 -> 150€
    PO2 -> 90€
    PO3 -> 80€
    Because of the variable with replacement path, the result in my query should be:
    plant1 = 170 (even though characteristic "purchase order" is not in my rows, system should evaluate PO one by one and return values only for those two that are below 100).
    But the result coming is 320, which is wrong.
    I've done the same report on many other 3.5 systems and it worked perfectly, and I am not able to get proper support from SAP OSS who keep saying that this functionnality is not ready in 3.5 (although I've provided screenshot of this working on another 3.5 system!!! how frustrating...)
    They have also pointed to problems of Before and After aggregation but that has absolutely no impact. Once again, the scenario is working perfectly on other 3.5 systems with the same query design, so i'm sure it has nothing to do with Query Designer options.
    Would anyone have ever come to an equivalenet problem? I'm wondering whether the DB itself could not play a role in the variable with ref  characteristic 'constant =1' ...
    Any though is welcome!
    thanks

    Hi,
    The text variable is replaced when the exact date is clear for this key figure column according to the restriction.
    To achive this, please make sure that either the variable is directly restricted in the key figure selection, or that the date characteristic is in drilldown.

  • Formula variable with replacement path on system date

    Hi Experts,
    I got a requirement to calculate "Days without payment" in report level.
    Days without payment = System Date - Payment Date.
    (Payment date field is available in CUBE, but system date field is not available in the CUBE)
    As we know, the difference b/w 2 dates is not possible directly.It can be possible by creating 2 formula variables with replacement paths on the dates and by writing aformula on these 2 formula variables.
    But the thing is I dont have system date readily available, and I tried by using SAP Exit. But we cant create formula variable replacement path on another variable (SAP EXIT).
    Do we have any SAP variable  for formula with replacement path readily avaliable to get system date (or) any other suggession.
    Please suggest me.
    Thanks,
    Sai Chand.S

    Hi Arminder,
    Thanks for your valuable answer.
    I tried doing the same previously.As u said we can get system date by creating customer exit variable.
    But the thing is to find difference b/w 2 dates, we cant do it directly, we need to create 2 formula variables with replacement path.
    1) Var1 = Formula variable with replacement path on system date(custoer exit variable).
    2) Var2 = Formula variable with replacement path on paymanet date.
    Number of days = var1 - var2.
    But as in 1st point, we cant create formula variable with replacement path on another variable, as system date is already a variable of type customer exit.
    We can create replacement paths only on characteristics.
    Please suggest me .
    Thanks,
    Sai Chand.S

  • Issue - Formula Variable with Replacement Path

    Hi,
    Is it mandatory to include the base characteristics in the rows on which the formula variable(replacement path) is based on. As long as the base char is in the rows the variable works fine. The moment I take that off, the variable doesn't produce any result. I know the char can be put in the rows and can be hidden, but then in that case I don't get the desired aggregation level.
    Has anybody come across this probelm and managed to sort this out? Kindly suggest any solution.
    Thanks,
    Anurag.

    Hi,
    a formula variable with replacement path only works if the replacement object is in the query in either the rows or colums. The data can never be aggregated on a higher level then the infoObject in the replacement path. If you want a higher aggregation you can add a new key figure as an attribute to your infoObject and fill it with the value you want in the loading process. You can use that key figure in your queries every way you want.
    Kind regards,
    Alex

  • Used of Sap text variable with replacement path in Bo designer

    Dear experts,
    I created a univers based on a SAp BW query. In this query I used a text variable in order to get dynamic header columns.
    The text variable is done by using "replacement path" that is the text is derived automatically from the user input triggered by a sap bw variable.
    example :
    the query contains a restricted key figure which shows net values for a selected year based on variable PYEAR.
    The name of this restricted keyfigure is &ZYEAR& where ZYEAR is the text variable with replacement path from the variable PYEAR.
    When generated the univers based on this query I get component &YEAR&.
    When I use this unvers in WebI my result containts header with &YEAR& althougth I selected for example the year 2006.
    According to several how to and white papers on SDN , it seems that text variables with replacement path are supported. So I am disapointed by this result.
    Can you give me advise to get a rigth result ?
    thanks a lot
    Olivier Doubroff

    Hi Rishit,
    I am trying to achieve the same as you, but it seems like text variables in restricted key figures do not work. I am using BO XI3.1 SP3 and SAP BW 7.01 SP6.
    A work-around for me has been to use the "user response" function in webi to create a webi variable that holds the dynamic text title. If the user inputs Jan 2010, I change the input to a date using the "user response" and "ToDate" functions in the webi variable editor. After changing the input to a date I use the RelativeDate to extract 1 month (e.g. 25 days) from the user input. Then I have both Jan 2010 and Dec 2010 as webi variables to use as headers for my restricted key figures.
    The formulas can easily become a little long, but by tweaking the user response string, you should be able to get dynamic headings by using webi functionality. But be aware that you need one webi variable for each dynamic heading if you use this method.
    Let me know if it works or if I can help more:-)
    Best regards,
    Morten

  • Text Variable With Replacement Path : supported in Webi 4.0 or Not.??

    Hello to All WebI Gurus,
    We are on BO 4.0
    We are building WebI report on top of Bex query using the BICS connection from IDT.
    Our BW query is having some Text Variable with processing type "Replacement Path".
    Also its having fiscal year period in filter with user input variable.
    the text variables references Fiscal year period and are used in Key figure description,
    hence whatever value the input variable will capture the description of Key figure changes accordingly/dynamically.
    But when I try to use it in BO it throws me an error msg saying :
    Unknown error occured in SL Services
    I am Aware that text variable in this fashion were not supported in BO XI3.1
    Used of Sap text variable with replacement path in Bo designer
    So are Text variable Supported in BO 4.0 in this fashion.
    Any response will be highly appreciable.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    Here's a great SDN article, which includes several slides covering u201CWhich BEx features are supported using BICS connectivityu201D : http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/d056e1bc-2794-2e10-959e-8779c5623cc5
    Pages 8 -> 12 cover these topics.
    If your design choices are compliant (supported) then i'd avise opening a support case if this issue persist after checking again on Patch2.11 (release recently)

  • Text Variable with Replacement Path

    Hi,
    I want to create a report which will show me 5 years of data. I have used a variable for Fiscal year which will be given by the user. Now I created a 5 key figures with offset to show the 5 years of data. 
    I used a text variable with replacement path based on Fiscal Year, to display the year in the column heading. But I am only able to get the correct year in the first column. Rest of the column is showing me the same heading. Actually the offset is not working for the text variable.
    Can anybody let me know how could we achiev the column heading for the columns with offset.
    Thanks

    Prashanth,
    I have used a replacement variable in the exact situation. Instead of years, I have different months. I have used this variable on 0CALMONTH. I also have two more keyfigures where CALMONTH is offset by -12 and +1.
    This variable works perfectly for me as expected.
    Did you check the data to make sure that your offset is working? This is was I did for Offsetting and i am sure you have done the same thing.
    Right click on the variable, "restrict". A window opens with the values. With the variable selected in the right side, right click "Specify Variable Offsets". If the replacement variable is built on this infoObject, it should work.
    Hope it helps. Let me know if you still can not find a solution.

  • Regarding text variable with replacement path.

    Hi Friends,
    Please can any one tell me good scenario where we can use text variable with replacement path..
    i have already searched in forum,but that scenario's i did not under stand.
    Please send.
    i will assign points.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi,
    There is a scenario:
    One has to show, a Period like May 2008 for a report. i.e the report which u r showing is common for May 2008. So u create a text variable on this Fiscal Year Period. When u do this, the Text appears on the Top of the report. So later, whenever u execute a report for a particular month, u get that Header as Jue, July etc etc.
    Its just a header. Text Variable promts u to display the Header with our own uploaded Desire Data.
    Steps.
    1) Edit your query
    2) Right click 'keyfigures' or other structure, choose 'new selection',
    3) beside description there is 'variable' button, click and then choose 'new', a variable screen will come out, type in your variable name, description, choose 'replacement path' for processing by. click 'next'.
