Custome Exit Variable Not prepopulating Parameter of CRE Report

Hi
I am using a customer exit varibale to pre populate a parameter in a Bex query I have created. When I run the bex query the customer exit variable populates the parameter just as it is supposed to. However when I use the bex query in Crystal Reports for enterprise the customer exit variable does not pre populate the parameter. Is there something I need to do to make sure that CRE recognises the customer exit variable or does CRE not recognises them? If it doesn't recognise them is it possible to create CRE level Customer Exit Variable?
Many Thanks in advance
Neil

Hi Alun
Thanks but I'm in BW so Stored procedures are not really an option on this one. I suppose my primary question is, is there a reason that Customer Exit Variable is not working as it is creating a lot of difficulties by not populating the parameters in the same way it does in the bex query I am using to develop my Crystal report.
Thanks
Neil

Customer Exit Variable not working in BO-Webi Report

Hi All,
I have created a universe based on Bex Query.
Bex query consists of a customer exit variable on Calendar year/month where in it will populate current calendar year month by default while executing the query. It works fine while executing in SAP BI Bex Analyser.
I have created a universe based on the query. For Calender year/Month i got L00, L01, LOV values in universe.
Based on the universe I have created a Webi report. I did not specify calendar year/month as query filters. While directly executing the Webi report, I get the calendar year/month variable screen. But the value for it not populated based on customer Exit code written in BI.
What has to be done to get the customer exit values in variable screen.
Thanks for your understanding.
-- Selva

Since you have customer exit variable in your bex query, it will be like a global filter in your universe.
Execute the webi report and check whether you are getting only current month data.

Default value of BeX customer Exit variable not Displayed in WeBI??

Hello Experts,
We are stuck with a problem where WeBI report is created on top of BeX query and we are not able to see the default value of Bex Customer exit variable in WeBI run. Here is the complete scenario:
1. One restricted KF is created in BeX, restricted with Customer exit variable on net Due date. And this variable is mandatory, ready for input, and Default value in calculated is user exit as current Week's Monday.
2. So, by default KF data should be restricted to Monday of current week, if user does not change this value.
3. Now, WeBI report is created on top of this Bex query, and all is working fine, i.e. we are getting variable as Prompt in WeBI, but Default value is not shown while Running the Webi Report.
So, need your inputs on the same, if default values from BeX in WeBI is supported or not? If yes, why this is happening, and how to resolve it?
Please notice, the restrcition is in KF only, it is not a separate restrcition on Net Due date in Filter area or in Defualt area of BeX
and we are on SAP BW 7.1 and BOXI 3.1 SP4.
Regards,
Vipul

Hi,
See 1285993 - Support of Customer Exit Variables from BEx query into WebIntelligence via OLAP universe
WebI will prompt when executed, but the default values calculated by the user exit - do not appear.
Note: If the BEx variable has property 'ready for input' set / enabled, then its WebI prompt shows ok, but no default value appears.
Cause
This behaviour expected 'by design' (in the context of the product's current limitations) as explained in the online guide below:
Please refer to Chapter 7, page 44, document link here: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf
Characteristic variable > processing type > Customer Exit is "Supported, without user entry"
--> This should be understood as meaning "User will not be shown a prompt"

Query: Customer Exit variable not getting populated

Hello Experts, I created a Customer Exit variable (ZPREV_MTH_OPS) in the query designer (7.0). I also put the necessary code in the function module "Z_BWFI_QUERY_CELL_MANIPULTN", but the query variable is not getting populated when I run the query using RSRT. The boxes for "Variable is ready for input" and "variable is without context" boxes when defining the variable.
This is my code in the exit:
case i_vnam.
    when 'ZPREV_MTH_OPS'.
     break-point.
      if i_step = 2.
        clear l_s_range.
        if sy-datum+4(2) = '01'.
          wa_prev_month = '12'.
          wa_prev_year = sy-datum+0(4).
          wa_prev_year = wa_prev_year - 1.
        else.
          wa_prev_month = sy-datum+4(2) - 1.
          wa_prev_year = sy-datum+0(4).
        endif.
        concatenate wa_prev_year wa_prev_month '01' into wa_datum.
        call function 'SLS_MISC_GET_LAST_DAY_OF_MONTH'

            last_day_of_month = wa_datum2.
        concatenate wa_prev_year wa_prev_month '01' into wa_datum.

*        l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
*        l_s_range-opt = 'BT'.
*        l_s_range-high = wa_datum2.
*        l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
*        append l_s_range to e_t_range.
        l_s_range-low = '20080901'.
        l_s_range-sign = 'I'.

        l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
        append l_s_range to e_t_range.
      endif.
endcase.
I also put a break point the exit, but it's not coming to the breakpoint.
Any suggestions?

Customer Exit variable of Query not working in View

Hi,
I have a customer exit variable in my query to calculate the last 6 month period on Calendar month. I have used 0CMONTH for the same and then using offset of 6 on its value range to get it.
Now, I have many views based on this query, which should ideally be having the same filter condition for the calendar month, but it is not happening. Although, it is working fine for the query! The views do not seem to be catching the selection correct.

Hi there,
As far as I Know, yes they exist. The only difference here, is that you build a query with a selection screen, and you execute the query with some selection parameters, and therefore all customer exit variables, offsets, etc, will be read and changed at the runtime execution of the query, and you can rearrange your query visualization drilling down free char., making filters, etc. and storing that visualization in a view.
If you save your view and execute it afterwards, you'll get the same selection parameters to input, the same offsets, etc, that you have with the query, but with a visualization stored by you.
So that should have been working.
Diogo.

Customer Exit variable and Filter routine in DTP does not works?

Hello Experts,
Does anyone know what might be the possible reason - A customer exit variable working fine on the OLAP side does not work in a DTP??
I have also tried to use the Filter routine, which does not give me the right results..I am trying to fetch a Fiscalyear period maintained in an infoObject as follows in my Filter routine..
ata: sel_period like /BIC/PZPARAM-/BIC/ZPARAMVAL.
DATA: zperiod type /BI0/OIFISCPER.
          SELECT SINGLE /BIC/ZPARAMVAL INTO sel_period
          FROM /BIC/PZPARAM
          WHERE /BIC/ZPARAM = 'ZPCA'
          AND objvers = 'A'.
          zperiod = sel_period.
data: l_idx like sy-tabix.
          read table l_t_range with key
               fieldname = 'FISCPER'.
          l_idx = sy-tabix.
          l_t_range-iobjnm = '0FISCPER'.
          l_t_range-fieldname = 'FISCPER'.
          l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
          l_t_range-option = 'EQ'.
          l_t_range-low = zperiod.
          if l_idx <> 0.
            modify l_t_range index l_idx.
          else.
            append l_t_range.
          endif.
          p_subrc = 0.
Please let me know if I am making any mistakes above..
Kind Regards,
Kadriks

Hi
1. CLEAR l_t_range-high. is missing in your code befor assigning values to l_t_range.
2. use simple append l_t_range after the l_t_range asisgnments. remove below code :
if l_idx 0.
modify l_t_range index l_idx.
else.
append l_t_range.
endif.
p_subrc = 0.
3. I dont think you need to assign infoobject.
4. Clear sel_period and zperiod is also missing
Hence your code should be :
data: l_idx like sy-tabix.
read table l_t_range with key
fieldname = 'FISCPER'.
CLEAR l_t_range-high.
l_idx = sy-tabix.
l_t_range-fieldname = 'FISCPER'.
l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
l_t_range-option = 'EQ'.
l_t_range-low = zperiod.
append l_t_range .

WAD Variable screen not displaying when using a customer exit variable

Hello,
I have a query which has 3 variables, one of which is of type customer exit and gets populated with a default value.
When I run this query on the web from within BEX it works fine, however when I run it within any BI7 web template the variable screen does not pop up. Of course if I remove or change the offending customer exit variable the variable screen pops up.
I have switched the display variable check-box to on, and it still doesn't work.
Is this a 'feature' of BI7?
Many thanks
Sarah

Fixed it myself by tweaking the URL....
Added &VARIABLE_SCREEN=X to the end of the url and the variable screen now pops up. Its not an ideal solution but it works.
Anyone have any better ideas?

Query Drilldown does not Invoke Customer Exit Variables

We have a problem with performing a drilldown in a BEx Analyzer reprot, basically the client is a Trading company and they have inter company trading. We are using the Profit Centre as one of thre u201CFree Characteristicsu201D in the query and hence we are able to drilldown on a Characterictc by Profit Centre.
We are using a couple of BEx query variables (Customer Exit variables) to determine the inter-area and extrenal area profit centres and these profit centres will be different based on the level of Hieracry node selected when the query is initially executed. For example if we assume a hierarchy with has one root node, 3 children under the root node and 2 grand-children under each of the 3 child nodes, now if we are at the root Node of the Hierarchy then every profit centre is internal and there are no external profit centres, similarly if we are at the 2nd node (i.e. one of the child nodes) then everything under that node is internal and everything in the other 2 child nodes is external and so on.
This is where the issue starts for us, since on the report if we select the the node we want to see the results for at the query rumtime (i.e. the Customer Exit Variables are invoked at I_STEP=2 and they select the other nodes of the hierarcy if any and group them into either external or internal) then the results are correct. Now if we were to drilldown, i.e. We selected the root node and we drilldown on to see for example of the child nodes then the result are not correct, this becomes apparent when we drilldown further to the grand-child nodes.
One logical explaination is that when we are doing the drilldowns the customer exit variables are not being invoked in the BEx analyzer report and hence they are not grouping the sums for the internal and external profit centres relevent to node selected in the Drill down.
Does anyone have any suggestions regarding how to make this query work properly or show the correct results in BEx Analyzer (ideally), I have considered the Workbooks option but the client does not want Workbooks.
Please let me know if there is a program etc we can customise to ensure that the Customer Exit variables logic is used when the user does a drilldown in the query or any other way to make it work.
Many Thanks
Jack

Hi
Just to aid anyone who is thinking what to do in a similar situation, I am aware that RRI or using workbooks are a couple of good alternatives (just that these are currently not being considered by the client, hence I am asking here).. Also, if someone has Business Objects WEBI then we can satisfy the requirement by creating a new Webi Report for each of the nodes and displaying it (similar to Workbooks but much nicer and faster) or we can get the Webi to execute the variables again during the drilldown... Unfortunately the client is not using Webi either... So the solution has to be in BEx Analyzer / Query designer based...
If you have any thoughts on how I might be able to do what I want to do then please feel free, I am quite confident that I am not the 1st person to come accross this issue and someone somewhere has solved this issue.
Thanks

Scenerios for using I_STEP parameter for creating customer exit variables.

Hi All,
I need to create a customer exit variable.
Please explain the different scenerios for using each i_step parameters.
For eg. in which practical scenerio i_step 3 is used?

Hi Shobhit,
You can find plenty of info on this in the forums, So i suggest you to do a small search with imp Key words. Anyways below is the std usage of I_STEP
I_STEP = 1
Call takes place directly before variable entry. Can be used to pre populate selection variables
I_STEP = 2
Call takes place directly after variable entry. This step is only started up when the same variable is not input ready and could not be filled at I_STEP=1.
I_STEP = 3 In this call, you can check the values of the variables. Triggering an exception (RAISE) causes the variable screen to appear once more. Afterwards, I_STEP=2 is also called again.
I_STEP = 0
The enhancement is not called from the variable screen. The call can come from the authorization check or from the Monitor. This is where you want to put the mod for populating the authorization object.
This is basic info from help.sap.com.
regards,
Gaurav

Display Error Message in BW Report based on Customer Exit Variable

Hi
I need to display an error message in the BW report based on the value of a customer exit variable - i was able to do this successfully in BW3.5 using the below code.
WHEN 'ZUPN'. "Here ZUPN is the customer exit variable
    IF i_step = 1.
      <check for condition -- if successful, variable flag = 1, else variable flag = 0>
      IF flag = 0.
        MESSAGE e157(00). "Error Message
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
I have upgraded my system to BI 7.0 now. Whenever the variable check is not successful, it displays a blank screen instead of the error message in the report. Please advice if we need to change the code and how ??

Bhanu,
Thanks for u r reply.This warning message appears every time i execute the report through portal.
Any idea ?

Current Workday SAP EXIT variable not aligned with correct work days

Hello,
I am trying to use the Current Workday variable within a report so that the data will only be refreshed when the calendar day is Monday - Friday. Users look at this report every day, but when they get the report on Monday we would like for the date to be restricted to the previous Friday, and then switch back to Monday's date when they view the report on Tuesday. In order to do this we have placed the Current Workday variable from the Calendar Date characteristic with an offset of negative 1, but it is showing Sunday's date when they look at the report on Monday.
My questions are:
-Does this variable use the factory calendar that can define the work days?
-If so, which Factory calendar does it use? I have gone to the Tcode SCAL but I can see there are many different factory calendars and I have no idea which calendar this variable pertains to. I have also transferred the global settings for the factory calendar from the source system, and I see no change within the variable.
-How can I see the program name behind this SAP Exit variable? My thinking is that I could at least look at the code to see if perhaps I can find out the factory calendar ID the variable refers to from there.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! Until this is fixed I have to manually adjust this report every Monday and Tuesday morning!! Not ideal.

Hi Kelly,
I am not sure whether this can be done by an SAP Exit variable.
But you may try this using a Customer exit variable by using the Function module DATE_COMPUTE_DAY.
The function module "DATE_COMPUTE_DAY" will return the day by 1 to 7 when you input date.
Monday : System will return value = 1
Tuesday : System will return value = 2
Wednesday : System will return value = 3
Thursday : System will return value = 4
Friday : System will return value = 5
Saturday : System will return value = 6
Sunday : System will return value = 7
So input sy-datum to this FM and find the number of day. If it is Monday, the number will be 1.
If output is 1, then offset date by -3 to that of Friday, else offset by -1 to previous day.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Hari

Customer Exit Variable in formula to get values for multiple keyfigures

Hi to all,
I have query as defined in following scenario:
CHAR_X     C_KF1 (based on KF1)     C_KF2 (based on KF2)     u2026     C_KFn (based on KFn)
Value1
Value2
u2026
Valuem
C_KF = calculated key figure
I need to create a customer exit variable that will search through selection e.g. CHAR_X/KF1 and give some result. I need this variable for every keyfigure (KF1-KFn). Using customer exit variable is the only solution.
My question is: do I have to create formula variable (customer exit) representing every keyfigure separately (VAR1 u2013 VARn, like in below example)?
CHAR_X     C_KF1 (using VAR1)     C_KF2 (using VAR2)     u2026     C_KFn (using VARn)
Value1
Value2
u2026
Valuem
Or is it possible to create one general formula variable since the way to retrieve the value in variable is always the same (like in below example)? In this case, how do I pass the value of the respective keyfigure to this variable?
CHAR_X     C_KF1 (using VAR_X)     C_KF2 (using VAR_X)     u2026     C_KFn (using VAR_X)
Value1
Value2
u2026
Valuem
Thanks for your replies, points will be awarded!
Cheers

That is my concern, the value of variable is not the same.
What variable should do is:
take KF1 id, go through values for CHAR_X, get back one value
This value would always be different, and also "KF" part in code of variable should be different, based on the column where the variable is being used (so, in column C_KF1 ,variable should "pick up" id of KF1, etc.).
I hope it makes it more clear. For now, I do not have the code for variable yet, I am just interested in concept whether it is possible to pass the ID of keyfigure dynamically so I can make decision how to model this request.
Thanks

Customer exit variable in Report designer

Hello,
I have created one Customer Exit variable ( variable ready for input) for one of the characteristics in a query. However, when i execute this query in Report designer, the selection variable is not appearing. It is just taking the variable value from Exit, eventhough the variable is ready for input.
Is it a standard behavior or am i missing anything ?
Ravi

Hello,
First check your variable is included in the report desinger or not
if it is included in Filters, use the T-code RSRT2 and execute. You should get a variable screen.
Debug your query here.
Hope it is useful.
Thanks,
Ashok

Customer exit variable in Planning filter - IP

Hi,
I am new to business planning. I am trying to use a customer exit variable in filter, while performing check system generates message "RFC failue error". the logic is written to get the current year. But I am not able to use this variable? Can you please answer me this question... Can I use Customer exit variables in planning modeler filters or planning functions ?

Hi there,
Yes you can, and it is used very often in both.
Probably your variable is wrongly defined.
What you can do is create a query over that aggregation level, and insert the planning filter in there. Put some key figure on the query and put a breakpoint on your variable customer exit code. Execute the query and debug the variable code to check the error.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Diogo.
