Clear BPS user-specific variable values

Hi,
Is there a way to quicly delete all the variable values (user ID and cost center) for a user-specific variable in BPS without access to the configuration (BPS0) or do I need to write a small piece of ABAP for that ?
Thanks
David

Hello David,
You either have to access the BPS0 and delete each of the variable values or write a little ABAP program. You could include this ABAP in a planning function type Exit so the user can press a button in a web interface or planning folder to delete the settings. The coding using internal methods you need is:
DATA:
lr_variable TYPE REF TO cl_sem_variable.
Get variable instance
CALL METHOD cl_sem_variable=>get_instance
EXPORTING
i_area = 'name of area where the variable is defined'
i_variable = 'name of the variable'
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 = 'user name, e.g. sy-uname'
i_delete = 'X'
EXCEPTIONS
failed = 1
OTHERS = 2.

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.

BPS User-Specific Variables by Web

Hi,
I'm triyng to setup a CC planning interface for my company.
I configured the levels and layouts and they work fine.
I run the interface with the planning folders and everything works fine but when I setup the Web Interface tha layout stops working. The message is something like "Variable XXXX can't be specified".
I'm using user specific variables in the planning level so every user can only see and modificate certain CCs.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much.

Alejandro,
Sorry, I had been at a new client this week doing a review and it is long hours so have not checked back.
The other discussions groups I participate on is e-mail based so only checking here when I have a block of time.
What type of cost center variable are you using? on 0costcenter or on the hierarhcy? Are you using variable with user specific value or with of type authorization or something else?
did you configure the web interface using web enabled layout or using Web interface buillder?

BPS User Exit Variable based on Planning Package Selection

Hi,
I'm implementing a SAP BW-BPS planning layout to be integrated into the CRM we user interface.
Most of the characteristic selections come from the CRM fields that need to be filled by the user when creates a trade promotion.
The charcteristic selections work (as standard) just if in the planning level I flag "Selection in Package", then in package these selections are dinamically defined from what the user select in the CRM fields at runtime.
My problem is that I have to build a BPS User Exit variable to filter, in the planning level, the proper Planning Area based on the CRM Sales Organization value.
The characteristic CRM Sales Organization belongs to whose chararcteristic the value is determined dinamically in the planning package.
Is it possible for a BPS user exit variable, set in the planning level, to catch the value of a characteristic selection made at planning package?
Many thanks for your help.
Alessandro

Hi Indu,
Many thanks for your answer.
I have already took a look at the document posted by you but I didn't find the solution to my problem.
This because i have to create a user exit variable that need to get the value of the characteristic selection in package.
I mean in the planning level I will have the user exit variable that restrict the planning area and, his function module, need to read, at runtime, what is the value of the characteristic CRM Sales Organization restricted in package by CRM.
So I don't have any idea to which BPS internal table I have referred to in my funcion module to catch the value of the CRM Sales Organization dinamically filtered by CRM.
Many thanks,
Alessandro

User-Specific Variable in Web Interface

I have created a manual planning layout with User-Specific variables one for Sale Group and one for Sales District.
The variable successfully restricts user access to data when executed in SAP GUI.
A Web Interface was successfully generated from the Planning Folder containing the manual planning layout described above.
When I execute planning via the web, all possible values are displayed, even though the User-Specific variable limits this user to a single value for each variable.
Is there a way to restore the restriction defined in the User-Specific variable ?
I saw an earlier thread indicating that the Planning Level property of the Selector Variable Value for each variable used in the Web Interface Builder had to be set - but that field is protected from input.
Any insights would be appreciated !
Thanks,
Lyle

Narasimha,
Each variable was created as :
- Replacement Type = User-Defined Values.
- Restriction of Values required by User = OFF.
- Input Allowed by User = OFF.
Several users are defined within each variable.
Most users represent Sales Representatives, with a single value assigned to each a single Sales Rep is assigned a single Group and District ( i.e one-to-one relationship ).
The other type user represents a Sales Manager, and includes all the values assigned to the Sales Reps reporting to him.
When Restriction functionality is turned on, the following error message is received :
Restrict variable UDSALDST (Sales District - User-Defined) (area ZBILLIC (IC Billings Estimate)) to single value
Diagnosis
Variable UDSALDST (Sales District - User-Defined) (planning area ZBILLIC (IC Billings Estimate)) is defined so that the user must restrict the values of the variable (indicator 'Restriction of values required by user' is set). However, you have not defined a restriction.
Procedure
Restrict the variable or change the definition of the variable so that restriction is no longer required.
 To restrict the variable, choose Goto -> Set variables and search for variable UDSALDST (Sales District - User-Defined) in the list. Make the restriction and subsequently continue the planning session.
 To change the variable definition, choose the tab page Variables in the context of planning area ZBILLIC (IC Billings Estimate) and reset the indicator 'Restriction of values required by user'.
While the first option ( Goto > Set Variables ) seems to defeat the purpose of a User-Specific variable, I tried it. When I use F4 to determine available values, it displays those previously assigned when creating the User-Specific variable !? this doe not seem to add any more than I already have.
The second option effectively puts me back to where I was when I posted the question.
Of interest though, I noticed when the Restriction functionality was turned on, the All value previously displayed as available for selection was no longer available but the specific values for each of the other Sales Reps continue to be reflected, and this user can select values related to another Sales Rep..
As mentioned in my original posting,
I saw an earlier thread indicating that the Planning Level property of the Selector Variable Value for each variable used in the Web Interface Builder has to be set but that the field is protected from input.
Should this object property be open to permit input ? If so, is there a step or setting that needs to be performed. Could authorization be an issue ?
Thanks,
Lyle

Clearing out user entered variables

I have a BI 7.0 query that displays materials that have not moved in 'X' number of days.
1. My variable screen shows "No movements since <blank>". The user enters a number in this variable (ZV_NUM_DAYS)
e.g. 90.
2. I created a variable (not ready for input) on the movement_date field. This variable gets populated by a range of dates based on the "Number of Days" entered by the user in I_STEP2 of the variable exit.
eg. LOW = 19000101
HIGH = SY-DATUM - the value from user entered variable
I still need to clear out the user entered variable ZV_NUM_DAYS so that a filter of '90' does not get applied to the cube.
I cannot clear out ZV_NUM_DAYS in I_STEP2 as it is user entered. I tried doing so in I_STEP3 - clear out E_T_RANGE for the variable. The debugger shows me E_T_RANGE cleared out however it still sets the filter of '90' in the cube.
Any thoughts on how to clear user entered variables ?
Regards,
- Ash

Thanks for your responses.
@Arunkumar - could you please elaborate on this option ? I don't know of a way to create variables on key figures.
@Dennis - I tried turning the cache off - no effect. Turns out when I change e_t_range values in STEP3, it does not save the change somehow. Although the debugger displays the modified table data.

Ash

I see that only ORACLE_HOME variable value was got, question is why, of course, variable values are already defined as user variables.
Variables PATH_MODULO and FILELOG was defined using windows maintenance variable method, that is :
1.- settings
2.- system
3.- advanced options
4.- environment variables
Here my oracle version
SQL> select version from v$instance;
VERSION
10.2.0.1.0
SQL>
Is this an Oracle Issue or variables would be defined in another way?
ORACLE_HOME VARIABLE was created when oracle engine was installed.
I have got same result after computer was restart.
I appreciate wathever clue.

Ok, that is , I only can read environment variables values, but not variables values at user profile. It happends in unix environment too. So I tried to use another instruction sequence in order to read user variables values.

Clearing the user specific documents in F110 - Automatic Payment Transactio

Hello Everybody,
Good after noon!,
This is regarding the transaction F110 - Automatic Payment Transaction.
The issue is, if we run the tcode F110, it needs to clear the documents posted by that user only.
In an elaborated manner, for example, different documents are posted by different users, and when a particular user is running the tcode F110 to clear the documents, it has to clear only those documents posted by that particular user only, where in current existing scenario all the documents are being cleared.
In my efforts I have tried to get the same functionality by using assignment field and trading partner field, but those two fields are being used for some other functionality in the same project.
Could you please help me out?
Thanks in advance

How to authorize users to change only Variable Values for Planning Folders

My users want to be able to change the values of the Planning Area variables for the Planning Folders in SEM BPS. However I wouldn't like them to have access to change anything else except the variables.
What is the best way to do this.
Please let me know
Thanks

Hi Arvind,
If they are variables to be set by the users, change the type to user specific variables and check the values can be changed by user check box.

User-specific Selection Variables in Variants

Hi,
I am triing to follow the tutorial in the help.sap.com concerning the variants.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/c0/980386e58611d194cc00a0c94260a5/frameset.htm
I would like to create a User-specific Variables for a variant.
I created set/get param for my report, I also created entries in the user master record. But: In the variants maintenance tool (SE38). First I edit the attributes of my variables and choose the selection variable option for some fields. Second I highlight in green the user specific column stoplight. But clicking F4 doesnt propose any value. Then saving doesnt work neither.
Thank you,
Younes

Umar,
When I click on the button save a modal popup it says "Variables not supplied with values. Save anyway?". I dont know how to supply the variables with values.
With the Function module VARI_USER_VARS_GET I am not able to Read existing variable values. Also in the selection screen of my report the menu Goto -> User variables is not enabled. Maybe I am missing something? Could you help me.
Thanks,

User Defined Variable in REPOST function

Hai friends,
I have a planning package where i have defined a Planning function for REPOST. What I want to do is to change a characteristic value based on the User entered another characteristic value. For instance say there are 2 characteristic C1 and C2 , I want the user to enter the set of values of C1 for which C2 value must change. For this , i created a USER SPECIFIC variable and put in the selection condition of parameter group. But when I execute the function , it doesnt ask for the C1 value and changes the C2 value for all records.
It is highly urgent. Kindly help !

Variable values on BI 7 Workbook

Hi
We have created a Workbook template in BI 7, where we display three text elements - Status of data, Last refreshed time and Display Infoprovider.
In addition, we also want to show the user entry variable values on the workbook. Eg: our report has Delivery type and Material group as user entry variables, which we want to display.
In 3.5, the "Display text elements" used to work. How do we do this in BI 7?
Thanks

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.

Hi Bauke,
Actually I want to do Password Encryption functionality.
For that I have 1 Java script file.On Java script validation I want to pass password value from client side to server side as,
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="MyJSFile.js">
function submitForm(element)
var me = document.getElementById(passwd);
If(!me)
alert('Please enter Password);
else
Some password logic I will do here.
</head>
<f:view>
<BODY......
<h:form id="createUserForm">
<h:commandButton id="save" value="Save" action="saveactionMethod " onclick="submitForm(this)" />
<h:inputSecrete id="passwd"
value="#{createUsrFormBean.password}"/>
</h:form>
</body>
</f:view>
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 ?
Thanks

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
