CR2008 and SAP BW - Technical Values for variable values not displayable ?

Hello Experts,
we have the following constellation / problem:
- SAP Query BW 7.0 with variables
- a report built upon this query with Crystal Reports 2008
- now if we execute the report and try to fill in the parameters (= SAP BW variables), only the (SAP) description of each value is displayed
Since it is common for the business users to communicate with the key instead of the description (e.g. Project 50010001 instead of Project 'something etc something'), it is necessary for us to give them the opportunity from a list that contains the key (maybe as well as the description) instead of only the description. Is there a possibility in SAP BW or Crystal Reports 2008 to make that possible ?
I tried to do it in the infoobject, in the query, in the 'options'-section of Crystal Reports and in the properties of the parameter field itself, but to no avail.
Many thanks for your help in advance !
Frank

Hello Experts,
I facing a problem.
I have a crystal report based on a BW Query. It has one parameter called Country.
Eg:
Until now, in BW query country variable has the following values.
USA
JAPAN
GERMANY
Now, from this fiscal year we have the following values for country variable
USA
JAPAN
INDIA
GERMANY
UK
I am trying to edit the list of values for the country variable in crystal reports. It is not getting reflected in SAP BW. I also tried refreshing it several times.
Can any one Please help.!!

CR2008 and SAP BW - Only limited number of values for static parameter

Hello Experts,
we have the following constellation / problem:
- SAP Query BW 7.0 with variables
- a report built upon this query with Crystal Reports 2008
- now if we execute the report and try to fill in the parameters (= SAP BW variables), not all values are displayed for selection and there seems to be no possibility to further scroll down; e.g. the months 01.1993-08.2006 are displayed, but not later than 08.2006
This is really a problem for us since the users won´t be able to select e.g. the desired time range !
I read already the SAP notes 1218588 and 1211902 and I 'implemented' 1211902, but still only a few values are displayed (the same as before I changed the values for BrowseTimeout and MaxNBrowseValues). Besides that, in the solutions in the SAP notes Crystal Reports 2008 is not explicitly mentioned (so I manually created the DWORD-keys).
Many thanks for your help in advance !

Default value for variable are not within permitted value range (precalc)

Hello BW community
Issue:
I have created a variable (Characteristic Value/ Manual input-default value) and use the precalculated value set (details-basic settings). In the further variable definition I could select the precalculated value set in 'Default values', which I have defined beforehand in the broadcaster..
The precalculated value set in the broadcaster settings is just based on a master data query on 0CUSTOMER.
Error:
The variable gets the error E991/R9E Errors: Default values for variable 'XXX' are not within permitted value range.
The detail description of the error is: You defined default values for variable 'Sold-to party precalc value set for manuel input' that are not appropriate for the variable type; for example, a range is defined as a default value for a variable that only permits a single value.
So please has someone had the same issue and found out how to solve it? It would be excelent to get good solution for this issue.
Best regards and thanks

PS-1: System BW 701 / SAPKW70105
PS-2 : there has been a SDN entry with the same topic but not resolved too.
link: /thread/980839 [original link is broken]

Hello,
Thanks for your response.
I should have mentioned that in my post. I tried this very first time. I thought that this is the place where you provide default value. But I got following exception at that time, so I thought, may be this is used for something else.
<LifecycleImpl> <_handleException> ADF_FACES-60098:Faces lifecycle receives unhandled exceptions in phase RENDER_RESPONSE 6
javax.faces.FacesException: javax.servlet.ServletException: OracleJSP error:
oracle.jbo.NameClashException: JBO-25001: Object viewAllInd of type Control Binding Definition already exists.
at com.sun.faces.context.ExternalContextImpl.dispatch(ExternalContextImpl.java:415)Do I need handle something else when you put the default value?
Thanks,

SAP BEX Analyzer Set values for variables

Please help us out in sorting out this problem,
We are automating BEx Analyzer for a Testing Project with Quick Test Professional (QTP) a functional automation tool uses VB script.
Problem:
There are 5 steps in automation
Invoke BEx Application
Log in to BEx server
Run Query
Set values for Variables for Query
Display Report
We are able to do 1,2,3 steps using BEx API functions and running BEx macros but we struck up with 4th step,
1. Invoke BEx Application
Launch Excel
Dim app
Set app = createobject("Excel.Application")
Make it visible
app.Visible = true
Attach add-in to Excel file
app.Run ("'C:\Program Files\SAP\Business Explorer\BI\BExAnalyzer.xla'!SetStart")
2. Log in to BEx server
Login to Bex server
Function logonToBW(app)
Dim myConnection
Dim logonToBW2
On Error Resume Next
logonToBW2 = True
' Create logon to system with following user and system details
Set myConnection = app.Run ("'C:\Program Files\SAP\Business Explorer\BI\BExAnalyzer.xla'! SAPBEXgetConnection")
With myConnection
.client = "600"
.User = "USERNAME"
.Password = "Welcom123"
.Language = "en"
.systemnumber = "00"
.System = "BWDCLNT600"
.systemid = "BWD"
.ApplicationServer = "156.158.7.161"
.SAProuter = ""
.Logon 0, true
     If .IsConnected = 0 Then
           .Logon 0, False
If .IsConnected <> 1 Then
MsgBox "Automatic logon failed. Please enter your username and password in the next screen ..."
Exit Function
End If
End If
End With
' Run connection query to see if connected
app.Run ("'C:\Program Files\SAP\Business Explorer\BI\BExAnalyzer.xla'!SAPBEXinitConnection")
logonToBW2 = True
End Function
3. Run a Query
app.Run "'C:\Program Files\SAP\Business Explorer\BI\BExAnalyzer.xla'! runQuery", "ZZCCA3_M01_Q0003"
Till here the script is running fine then the Select values for Variables window is displayed.
This is where exactly we struck up; in this window we need to select values.
Name of the Fields
     Field Name     Technical name of characteristic     Variable Name     Value
1     Company Code                     0COMP_CODE     ZM_COMPCODE     1000

5     Fiscal Year     0FISCYEAR     0P_FYEAR     2007
To select values for variables, we are trying below code but its giving an error,
app.Run "'C:\Program Files\SAP\Business Explorer\BI\BExAnalyzer.xla'!SAPBEXSetFilterValue", 1000, "0COMP_CODE"
app.Run "'C:\Program Files\SAP\Business Explorer\BI\BExAnalyzer.xla'!SAPBEXSetFilterValue", 1000MDON, " 0COSTCENTER "
app.Run "'C:\Program Files\SAP\Business Explorer\BI\BExAnalyzer.xla'!SAPBEXSetFilterValue", 1000COP, "0COSTCENTER"
app.Run "'C:\Program Files\SAP\Business Explorer\BI\BExAnalyzer.xla'!SAPBEXSetFilterValue", 1000GDON_6999, "0COSTELEMENT "
app.Run "'C:\Program Files\SAP\Business Explorer\BI\BExAnalyzer.xla'!SAPBEXSetFilterValue", 2007, " 0FISCYEAR"
Any help highly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Error-Specify a value for variable

Dear All,
We upgraded our BW system to BI 7 SP 15. We are getting following error when executing queries in Bex.
Specify a value for variable Company Code
    Message no. BRAIN629
Diagnosis
    The variable cannot be empty. You must make an entry in the variable
    maintenance for variable Company Code.
System Response
Procedure
    Enter a value. Use the search help (F4) if necessary.
Procedure for System Administration
Interesting thing is that this error is faced by only 2 users in all upgarded systems.
We created test user with same roles and we are getting error for these test users as well. All other users can run these queries without any problem. When we gave them sap_allprofile, it worked but I dont think this an authorization issue as these user can execute reports in web without any error.
Second interesting thing is that, I applied note 1085822. This solved the problem. But on next day while closing this issue formally we found it is not working again and giving the same error.
I checked other notes but these are not suitable for SP15.
Any pointer/help will be well appreciated.
Regards,
Niraj

Hi All,
Resolved this issue by giving authorization obj S_BDS_D value display.

Could not determine value for variable 0P_FVAEX (or 0P_CTPCA)

I get the below error while accessing a query on the planning Info Cube. I used the SAP Exit variable Most Current Data (Transactional InfoCube) (0S_RQTRA) in the query for the Characteristic - Request ID (0REQUID) to extract the data from the yellow request too.
I do not use the below variables as in the below eror in my query at all. Please assist.
Diagnosis
This error diagnosis is specific only to the variables 0P_FVAEX or 0P_CTPCA !
Termination message BRAIN 632 appears:
Could not determine value for variable 0P_FVAEX (or 0P_CTPCA).
System Response
1. Operation method of SAP-Exit-Variables 0P_FVAEX or 0P_CTPCA
With queries from the CO application, both SAP-Exit-Variables look for an entry for 'controlling area'. With this controlling area from the selection screen, the SAP-Exit-Variables program reads the attributes for InfoObject 0CO_AREA (controlling area).
With queries from the FI application, the SAP Exit Variable 0P_FVAEX looks for an entry for 'company code'. With this company code from the selection screen, the SAP Exit Variables program reads the attributes for InfoObject 0COMP_CODE (Company Code).
0P_FVAEX determines the fiscal year variant (attribute 0FISCVARNT) from the attributes for 0CO_AREA (CO queries) or 0COMP_CODE (FI queries). 0P_CTPCA determines the currency type of the profit center local currency (attribute 0CURTP_PCA) from the attributes for 0CO_AREA.

Hello,
you need to take a closer look at your query. Somewhere you used one of the 0P_* exit variables, which work only for controlling related InfoCubes. Use your own variables.

Missing substitution value for variable [dispatcher.host]

Hello,
I'm getting the error message "com.sap.engine.deploy.manager.MissingSubstitutionException: Missing substitution value for variable [dispatcher.host]." if I'm trying to deploy an SCA file via SDM (remotegui.bat).
It seems that the problem is a missing variable setting. But I couldn't find any hints at the available SAP web sources which values needs to be set.
It would be really great if somebody could give me a hint which steps I need to do to solve this issue.
Many thanks in advance,

Thank you.
Yes, it was a really not a default variable.
Replacement of the variables directly at the archive with the correct value did solve the issue.

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.

Copy 'Favorites' in 'Select Values for Variables' screen

I need to copy a list that I created as a 'Favorite' in the 'Select Values for Variables' screen for Customer to all the other userids so that everyone is using the same list of customers. Can someone tell me the table(s) where these values are stored? Is there a function module or program available that copies 'Favorites'.
It would be nice if you could select if the 'Favorites' you create can be 'Global'.
Thanks.

the variant values are stored in RSRPARAMETRIZA. the field content stores in XML format. you can write an ABAP program to read and update it.

~Krishna Nand Singh

Hi Every one,
I got this issue resolved.
The issue is with parameter object_schema => 'APPS' , the object schema name is 'HR' and APPS has synonym with the same name.
The Correct code should be:
BEGIN
DBMS_RLS.ADD_POLICY(
object_schema => 'HR',
object_name => 'PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F',
policy_name => 'secure_emp',
policy_function => 'kr_sec_function_papf',
statement_types => 'SELECT',
sec_relevant_cols=>'NATIONAL_IDENTIFIER',
sec_relevant_cols_opt=>DBMS_RLS.ALL_ROWS);
END;
Thanks,

Any technical reason for iPhone 4 not to have mirrorring feature? It does support YouTube , photo slide show.

Airplay mirroring requires an h.264 encoder in hardware. iPhone before the 4s and macs before mid 2011 don't have this hardware, so it won't work.
