Create input variable for Attribute

Hi Guyz,
How do I create an input variable or restrict the query on an attribue of an Infoobject in the query
The attribute is Navigational.
I have to restrict the query by certain values of that attribute.

Hi Ajay,
Can you please throw in more details...
I pulled in the Characteristic in the rows column of query designer, next I pulled the attribute and placed it under the Char.
Now while restricting it..
1) I right click on characteristic and choose restrict, Create a new variable.
2) What type of Variable do I create ... User entry or replacement path...
3) In the same screen where give in the name, tech name, processing by, Characteistic ... I only see the Characteristic here.
Am I doing it right?
If possible can you give the steps too.
Thanks,
Kumar.

How to create an user input variable for customer exit variable? - BW3.5

Hi Guru,
I have a requirement for the selection period of my reports. There are 3 possible reporting periods which should be user selectable:
1. Month: Current reporting month
2. Fiscal Year to Date
3. Project Year to Date
Here I need 2 variable to do these, 1 customer exit and 1 user input variable. I have created a variable customer exit to calculate all these requirement. But can any1 tell on how to create the user input variable for my customer exit? I need a user input variable with drop down list like below.
01-Current month
02- Fiscal Year to Date
03-Project Year to Date
I have create a new master data for this variable, but it's not working. What I need now is a standalone master data which do not need to link to any exiting records. Can any1 tell me how to create this?

Just go to the definition of the variable for which you have created a customer exit. There you will find a check box for "Ready for Input". Just tick that checkbox and the variable will be available as a selection variable in the reports selection screen.

Creating variable for attribute

Hi guys,
Is it possible to create variable for an attribute. My requirement is that the user wants Serial # as one of the user selection criteria which is an attribute of system code equipment in Dimension material. If not, is there any other possible way to get it in user selection criteria when the report is run.
Thanks in advance.

you cant create a variable on attribute of a char.
other work around is to make Serial # a navigational attribute both in the IO (system code equipment) and in the cube maintenance too. That way in the report the attribute will be available as any other char in the cube.

What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple PXI(Real-Time) to GUI PC?

What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple Real time (PXI) to GUI PC? I have 16 Nos of PXI system in network and 1 nos of GUI PC. I want to send command to all the PXI system with using single variable from GUI PC(Like Start Data acquisition, Stop data Acquisition) and I also want data from each PXI system to GUI PC display purpose. Can anybody suggest me best performance system configuration. Where to create variable?(Host PC or at individual PXI system).

Dear Ravens,
I want to control real-time application from host(Command from GUI PC to PXI).Host PC should have access to all 16 sets PXI's variable. During communication failure with PXI, Host will stop data display for particular station.
Ravens Fan wrote:
Either. For the best performance, you need to determine what that means. Is it more important for each PXI machine to have access to the shared variable, or for the host PC to have access to all 16 sets of variables? If you have slowdown or issue with the network communication, what kinds of problems would it cause for each machine?
You want to located the shared variable library on whatever machine is more critical. That is probably each PXI machine, but only you know your application.

Hi Satya,
I just want to create a table that should horizontally display the values like below:
     SUID Tag # :123456               Year Mfg: 2007
     Description: computer corporation FA ID#: 4576
     Model Number: 4569 hESC: #ert
     Serial Number: 78945 Flags: c
Department: Hematology
User: thenmozhi
Database: OLAP
I think we can create this type of report using either Narrative or Static Text. But I am not sure whether it is possible or not? And also another thing is that sectioning is applied for SUID Tag # column. So, depending on the dashboard prompt if the SUID Tag # retrieves two or more values.
Then the first value for example 123456     and the values for the other columns related to this SUID Tag # value should display in the first page (i.e., page 1). And if the next value of the SUID Tag # for example say 678901 then the values should move to second page that is like this:
     SUID Tag # :678901               Year Mfg: 2008
     Description: Computer Manufacturing FA ID#: 4577
     Model Number: 4570 hESC: #eth
     Serial Number: 78946 Flags: G

Can i Create Output Variable for DB Polling in BPEL 11g?

Hi Team,
I want to create the Output Variable for DB Polling,But when i double click on Reply Activity-->Create New Variable it is giving error message like "Can't Create output variable.The Selected operation doesn't have an Output Message".
My Question is Can we create Output Variable for DB Polling, if Yes tell me the procedure to create the Output variable ?
Regards,

Hi Kiran,
In these scenario generally runtime faults occurs so you can use the CatchAll activity and rethrow activity to complete the instance in error state. Also before the completion of the process if exception occurs you can rollback all the transaction.
or
you can use the Fault handling framework:

Ready for Input Variables for Multiple Queries in I_T_VAR_RANGE

Hi
I created Web template which contains multiple views/queries. Two views/queries contain Ready for Input Variables. I have custeomer exit code for this Web template. I wrote code by using Ready for input variable which pass to customer exit code. But the variables which contain in two views/queries not appearing in I_T_VAR_RANGE. The two variables belongs to different views and I required those variables. please find below code:
    WHEN 'ZVBCUST'.
      LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO w_var_range WHERE vnam = 'ZVAR1'.
        g_soldto = w_var_range-low.
      ENDLOOP.
      LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO w_var_range WHERE vnam = 'ZVAR2'
        g_zvbsshto = w_var_range-vnam.
        g_shipto = w_var_range-low.
      ENDLOOP.
The above 'ZVAR1' is ready for input variable which belongs to one Query and below 'ZVAR2' is other ready for input variable which belongs to second query. I required these two at a time when customer exit variable 'ZVBCUST' executes.
But in I_T_VAR_RANGE only one variable appears when I execute Web Template . Kindly help me in this regard
Thanks
luci

Hi,
First thing is to how you have defined your variable such as
Customer exit or
Replacement path or
Manual input etc..
If you want your variable filled through the exit select Customer Exit, then you have to look at the variable options such as Single value or range. According to your definition you have code as you defined such as wa_range-opt = 'BT' or 'EQ'.
Next..
In CMOD -> your project -> EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001 -> include 'ZXRSRU01' ->
ISTEP = 1 -> before the variable pop up will be filled by the exit
when 'your variable'
your code
ISTEP = 2 -> after the variable pop up i.e after running your selections, calculates the values for your variables after selection screen execution.
when 'your varaible'
your code
ISTEP = 3 -> Validation purpose and message handling purpose
when 'your variable'
your code

How to create a variable for key figure (value will be entered by the user

I want to create one query, where the user has to entered a max value when the query is started, so that only the query rows will be listed, where the key figure value (integer) of the row is smaller than the max value given.
How can i define that variable which has to start at the begin of the query; and also the restricted key figure iin consideration of the KF variable.
Thanks for helping
Ar.

Hi Arnaud,
Go to Conditions-> Right click -> New Condition -> Edit -> NEw -> Selct the KEy figures from the dropdown( the KFs that are used in the rows/columns) -> Select Less than from the operator drop down (less than is for you case) -> Values, there is an option to create a variable -> Select the variable -> transfer. It will appear on the top.
Save & Execute, you will find it in your selction criteria.

Can we create range variable for Query Key Date

Hello Gurus,
Can we create a range variable for Query Key Date ? when I tried to give a range of values for Query Key Date, I am unable to find Range Values option. I found only Single Values.
so, Please let me know if we can use Range variables for Query Key Date ??
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Aarthi

Hi Aarthi,
This is relevant for the time dependant master data that is being pulled in thw query. Like if you are using a nav attr in the query and this nav attr is time dependant, then which record (from the char master data) is to be pulled into the report, depends upon the key date that you specify.
The default key date value is the date on which the query is executed, that is <Today>.
Hope this helps...

Create New Variable for COPA Drilldown Reports in KE3E

Hi,
How can we create a formula variable for COPA Drill down reports in KE3E? In standard global variables formula variable is not avaiable, I need to create a formula variables like ...from period, to period, last fiscal year and next fiscal year..
While creating report in KE31/KE35 trying create local variables, but it doesn't.
Can any body advise how can we create a new variables for "from period, to period, last fiscal year and next fiscal year.."
Thanks
VS Rao

Hi Rao
For Period (From &To)
1. KE3E
2. Type of Var = Char Value
    Enter variable name, say, ZPERIOD
    Field Name = PERDE
    Replacement type = Entry
    Enter Description
    Parameter/selectop = Selection Option
For Fiscal Year
    Type of Var = Char Value
    Enter variable name, say, ZGJAHR
    Field Name = GJAHR
    Replacement type = Entry
    Enter Description
    Parameter/selectop = Parameter
For Next and Last Fiscal Year
When you define your form in KE34/KE35
Use the variable ZGJAHR in your report
In the column for Next Year, Enter "ZGJAHR+1" as the local variable for GJAHR
In the Column for Last year, Enter "ZGJAHR-1" as the local variable for GJAHR

Create Same Variable for 2 differents queries

Hi guru's,
I try to create one same variable in query designer for differents queries whiche have not the same field. I explain:
For example, I have one of my query based on a ODS which has a field called EAN but its technical name is RIS_R1007_F57 and I have another query based on another ODS which has also a field called EAN with the following techincal name RIS_EANMD_F1.
I would like to create a report with 2 tables and each query inside with in the variable screen, a variable which seeks in the both tables.
Anyone has an idea?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Rawizzz.
Edited by: rahhaoui mohamed on Jan 26, 2010 11:39 AM

Hi.
What I understand, is that you have something called EAN and this is stored in two ODS. In each ODS a DIFFERENT characteristic is used to store the EAN info.
Thus, technically, you got two completely unrelated fields. The fact that they both contain the data for the same "thing" (the EAN), is something you can "tell the system" by creating a characteristic, let's say tech name ZEAN with description "EAN" and then load the values from both char's (RIS_R1007_F57 & RIS_EANMD_F1) into this new char (ZEAN).
You could do this in different ways, but one way to do this, is to add the ZEAN to BOTH ODS and then in the load to each of the ODS, map the RIS_R1007_F57 to ZEAN and the RIS_EANMD_F1 to ZEAN.
Now you can create two queries, query 1 on the data from ODS1, where you have RIS_R1007_F57 and ZEAN, and query2 on ODS2, where you have RIS_EANMD_F1 and ZEAN.
In query1, you use ZEAN to make your restriction/selection, so create a variable on the ZEAN infoobject, ZVAR_1. When you are done, create query2 on the other dataset. Use ZEAN to make your restriction/selection AGAIN. You will find in the variables section the variable ZVAR_1 which you created before. Use it again and finish query2.
Put both queries in a workbook, maybe on different sheets depending on what you need. Then, set the workbook properties to show the same variable in different queries only once.
That should work.

Create a variable for user input entry to act as i/p to anothr variable

Hi,
I have a requirement in my report where i have two variables one is user entry called "A" the a other user exit "B" and the query is based on an ods.
<b>
Scenario:</b> If the user were to enter a string XXX in A, i need to do a search on certain columns in ODS and store the corresponding keys (single column) in an internal table and the internal table column will act as multiple single values for variable B .
<b>Questions:</b>
1. How to get the value entered in A.(so i can do select statement on ODS table).
2. In the select statement we need to specify FROM table, so what would the ods table name be.
3. How to store the values from the select statement into the internal table.
4.How to populate the values in internal table into variable B.
5.Once all this is done i need to reset the variable A to empty.
p.s: ABAP code for any of the following would be highly appreciated.

hi Karthik,
1. you can try
LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
              WHERE VNAM = 'varA'.
              l_var = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW.
2. ods table name = /bic/a[odsname]00 or /bi0/a[odsname]00
3. use select .... from... into table ...
4. loop at that internal table and populate as sample code
5. try to create a RKF with restriction to variable A, and hide this keyfigure,
    not use in reporting.
hope this helps.
Populating material numbers from a table to customer exit bex variable
