Connection between 2 variables in bex variables screen

Hi all,
Can anyone help me please with the following scenario?
I need to create a connection between 2 variables in BEx variables screen.
Example:
2 variables in the selection screen:
Prod Hier. 1
Prod Hier. 2
When a user make a selection in the first var. (Prod Hier. 1) in the var screen, i need that the F4 help in the second variable will show only the Prod Hier. 2 that is under Prod Hier. 1.
Any help will be gratitude,
Y.B

Hi,
your question:
When creating a replacementpath variable you don't have the option to make it depends on other variable entry (i didn't find the option) I'm using BEx 7
Answer:
In BI7.0 Query designer, replacement path with other variable entry is possbile.
your requirement:
When a user make a selection in the first var. (Prod Hier. 1) in the var screen, i need that the F4 help in the second variable will show only the Prod Hier. 2 that is under Prod Hier. 1.
my answer:
replacement path with variable will not suit your requirement as far as i know.. any way let us wait for other experts reply...might be someonw knowing.
if it is useful assign points.

'Text' of a variable in Bex selection screen

Hello,
We have a customer exit variable in Bex Query selection.it is mandatory,ready for input,interval which is on 0CALMONTH2.
In Bex selection screen i am not getting text of default/entered months.
for example: if default value is 2 to 4,then text would be FEB to APR.
what could be the reason?how to get teaxts of entered values?
(we have one more customer exit variable on 0CALMONTH2 which is single value and it shows text of enterd values in bex selection)
In web it is working fine.

Hi,
Try to create an another customer exit variable for 0CALMONTH2 with mandatory,ready for input,interval. refer the abap code of the another customer exit variable(single value variable) of 0CALMONTH2 which you have mentioned in the bracket and modify the abap code based on the selection - interval. hope it helps.

Change of variable text in BEx selection screen

Hi all,
in our BW system the key users are allowed to create queries and also create variables. In some cases, especially for often used info objects like 0DATE the number of variables is increasing very quickly. The reason for this is, that 0DATE is used for a big variety of meanings e.g. delivery date, order date, invoice date etc.
So the users always create new variables only to have a meaningful description in the BEx selection screen, because they do not want only "date" to be displayed here. As result we have many different varianbles with exactly the same technical settings with only different names.
So my question is: Is it possible to change the diplayed text in the selection screen for each query without having to create a new variable?
Thanek you and best regards

Hi Stephan,
Changing the diplayed text in the selection screen for each query is not possible.You have to create a new variable for each query.

Calendar prompt for Date variable from bex

Hi All,
I have a Bex query where I have a variable on 0CALDAY
- Customer exit (i_step = 1 to populate with current date)
- Single value
- Mandatory
I created universe on this query and in webI selection screen i do see the variable prompt.
I am not able to see the current date populated automatically since exit values are not populated to WebI at runtime.
My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
where user can enter the values directly.
I am currently on BO XI 3.1 SP3.
Is there any specific setting in Universe or bex query which is required to get this Calendar prompt instead of list of values for dates?
Note: When we were on SP1 the universe created then had same variable from bex and it still shows us Calendar prompt but ever since we upgraded to SP3 for the query splitter functionality we not able to get the calendar prompt for date variable in new universe we create
Thanks
Ritesh

Yep.
Now tell me how you want to show that Prompt @ WebI report level.
My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
where user can enter the values directly. Exactly, i didn't get this??
@Prompt:
You have flexibility to show options like:
Mono/Multi: User can select Single value or Multiple.
BW Variable: Same we have (Single/Multiple)
Free/Constrained: User can Enter his/her value directly or No change option.
BW Variable: By defalut you will get this, once you made it to Optional input.
Persistent/Not_Persistent: Refreshed report has to show last selected value means use Persistent otherwise Not_P.
By seeing the Prompt syntax , I can say your Variable is after Customer Exit, Correct??
Workaround for your Problem is:
<FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A','Date\LovDate (Previous Day)Base',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
You have to remove that Date class and objects from prompt syntax. Because of that it showing up LOV's not calendar.
Like:
<FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A',',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
Why, It should be blank??
Because Date needs no class\object to show up, by default you will get Calendar on the fly.
Hope you got my point.
Thank You!!

Popup variable in BEX

Hi All
I need to code a customer exit, when i enter a value in a variable on the selection screen of the bex analyser it should pop up a message, i did the following code in step-2, could any one let me know if there's a function module that i could use.
WHEN 'ZMAT_XIT'.
DATA ZMAT LIKE /BI0/PMATL_GROUP-MATL_GROUP.
DATA WA_MGRP TYPE RRS0_S_VAR_RANGE.
LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO WA_MGRP WHERE VNAM EQ 'ZMAT_XIT'.
ZMAT = WA_MGRP-LOW.
EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
IF ZMAT = 'xxxxxxxxxx'.
MESSAGE E000(ZMSG).

Sounds front end related, are all your Front end patches (FEP) upto date. Might be worth downloading FEP 11.

BEx Variable input Issue

Hi everyone,
                   I have an issue with Input Parameters in BEx Variable Screen. For Example, I have included Customer Name in the Variable Screen. Then , the user says, he does not remember the complete customer name. There will be thousands of names. Instead he remembers only a few Initial Characters. For example, if the customer Name is ZSAMSUNG. He only remembers ZS out of the whole name.
In that case, he wants to enter ZS* in the Variable Selection Screen for Customer Name. But this is not working in BEx. It says invalid Parameters. I have created a Characteristic variable with Manual Entry.
Currently, I am working on BI7.0, Support Package 11.
Please provide your valuable inputs.
1) Is it possible create a Customer Exit Variable for the same with some logic.
Regards,
Samiir

Hi Samir
Sry, but I think that this functionallity is allredy usable in Bex.
When the variable-screen appears, the customer has to press F4 for help.
Another screen pos up.
-> in that screen, in the FIRST ROW, the customer can seach by therms:
   in the first column: KEYS
   secound column: Text
   other columns: attributes if available
he also has the possibility to search with *
like ZS* for ZSAMSUNG
try out, it works

Rectrict list of possible values for variable in Bex

Hello folks!
I need to give a user possibility to choose only few value for variable in Bex report. Number of entries in master data is huge. I need to show only 7 possible values in the window with variables.

Amy,
You have a tricky requirement but I can only think of one thing but it would require user training. Try the following.
You can setup a new variable with default values and define it as type multiple single values.
The user could in the variable screen would then need to take out the ones that are not needed.
Hope this helps.

BEx variables not showing correct order despite ordering at query level

Dear Experts,
I am using a workbook with 2 queries sharing same variables.
The Queries variable order for display in the popup screen has been re-arranged at Query designer level (query properties > variable sequence). Regenerated queries. Relogin to BEx . Re-run workbook. Same old order.
Please advise what could be the cause. I am also wondering if this is due to personalisation.
regards
Bass

Hi Bass,
You mentioned workbook.
If the query itself also has this problem, it can be a bug as SAP Note 1568815.
Symptom
The sequence of the variables in the variable screen is lost.
You may implement the correction of this note via transaction SNOTE if the SP of your system fits.
After that, you need to regenerate the query in RSRT.

Patricia

Variables in Bex and BO

Hi Experts,
I am using Business Objects 4.0 SP2 with SAP BEX.
I am not using universe. Webi directly connect to Bex.
I have a characteristic variable in Bex processed by authorization.
The variable is working fine in BO. But i dont want that variable to prompt for values in BO. User need not select values.
I want the filter value to get added to Bex query/MDX query without prompting in BO.
Please let me know how can i do it? I am new to Bex - BO reports. What happens if i uncheck the input ready option for that variable in Bex?
Regards,
Jacob

Crystal Reports prompt single value variable from BEX

Hi,

After investigation the issue is happened for variables containing more than 9 values.
Bex Setting: Variable -> Details -> Variable Represents -> Single value
Variable which shows Jan-Dec
The issue happens only on CR file stored in BO server in Cr design time it works fine.
Is the bug known? Is there any solution?

How to feed a bex variable

Hi,
In my planning process, I have to create a monitor to feed global variables.
For example, my user wants to say that the plan year variable is 2009.
He doesn't want to go in customizing to change the value. He would like to access a screen to type 2009 and feed automatically the variable.
Do you know a way to achieve this ?
Thanks

Hey,
You don't have to create a new table, jus use BPS0 and use the variables over there, then create a variable in BEX of type user exit with the same name and pick up in the user exit the variable in table UPC_VAR_CHA_SEL.
Kind regards,
Kris Bornauw

Use BEx variable for user input data, not to filter.

Hi,
I have a situation where I am displaying notification task data. Each header notif has a number of tasks. These tasks are marked either newest, oldest or no mark (in the middle) for each different task code.
Using VKF's and by passing the user entered variables for newest and oldest I am able to make KF calculations.
So if I have a notif that is like this:
Notif XYZ
Task 1 Code: SCM     Date: 1/1/2000
Task 2 Code: SCM     Date: 1/4/2000
Task 3 Code: SCK     Date: 1/10/2000
If the user selects Newest = SCM and Oldest = SCK
The key figure would use those 2 different notif tasks to calculate.
This works fine.
My problem now is that since the data is displayed at the line level. When the user enteres his choices for task code, BEx will filter to find one single task item that has both the Newest and Oldest values that the user entered. It will return no data.
Example:
NOTIF    TASK      NEWEST     OLDEST
XYZ.........1.......SCM
XYZ.........3..................SCK
If user enteres Newest = SCM and OLDEST = SCK
It will look for one line with both value, returning nothing.
So, I want to simply use the BEx selection screen to pass values to my virtual code (which I already have working)- but I do not want the report to filter on a notification that only has both values as OLDEST and NEWEST tasks.
Is this possible? To deactivate the BEx filtering for two infoobjects thus only passing the user entered values to my CMOD code?
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Brandon

Hi Prakash,
Can you explain what you mean? I know using a text variable would allow me to take the user entry and apply it to the header of a column... but how would it disable filtering on what was entered?
Thx

BEx Variable Input Parameter

Hi everybody,
I am doing a BEx report and I have created User Exit variables and Text Variables based on InfoObjects that exists in the InfoCube. But I am needing a Globla Variable, that is not related to the InfoObjects in the InfoCube; depending of the values of this variable, some claculated key figures will have a diferent behaviour.
Please, how can I create a variable of this type? is it possible in Bex? if not, any suggestions?
Thanks and Regards,
Luis Jorge Castro

Jorge,
In the Variable screen, you are giving 1 or 2 or 3, you need to get the description for that. Can you tell where you created this Variable? on which info object you created? for that same info object maintain the Texts
1:Equipment
2: Physical units
3: some thing.. etc.
display this value with either Text or Key and Text.
All the best.
Regards,
Nagesh Ganisetti.

Bex - variable creation

Hi Gurus,
I have vendor as a master data and vendor name as a text . In Bex , i need the vendor name in the selection screen. How to achive this..
Thanks in advance

Do you mean you have the characteristic vendor and you want to ask the user which vendor to select in the selection screen of the report?
If this is so, then you must create a user input variable on 0vendor.Put 0vendor to filter tab in query designer,.Right click on 0vendor ,restrict,create variable, do not change anything in the settings for creating variable(i.e use default settings but if you want to make this variable mandatory, then under details tab,choose mandatory).After that, right click vendor again and restrict,choose variables,choose the variable you have just created.
