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

How to use customer exit variable in the report

Dear All,
i want to use a standard customer exit variable in the report properties.
In the Bex Query Designer right hand bottom you will find two buttons "Properties" and "Task". Click on task you will get different option. Choose properties from there and then select "variable sequence tab".
I need to add a standard variable there. How can i achieve it?
Appreciate your early help.

You need to add variable to corresponding charctertic then you can get that varaible for sorting the sequence....
If 0CUST is the varaible then you need to assign it 0CUSTOMER then 0CUST will be available for the sequence.

Include character value variable processed by customer exit in the report

I have defined a character value variable' processed by 'customer exit'. i am troubleshooting a problem so I need to see the value of this variable. Is there a way to display this variable in the report. If so, what section, rows or columns? And how to configure?
Thanks,
Sharon

Hi,
You can add directly the variable, in BEx Analyzer 7.0 you can add variables in the Excel Cell that you would.
Steps:
- Select the Excel Cell
- In the BEx Design Toolbox, select Insert text
- When you are in Design Mode - click over the text element
- Go to Constants tab and select the Custom Exit Variable
- Save the workwook

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 ?

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.

Crystal Reports with BEx Query using Custom Exit Variable

Hi,
We have BW BEx Query using Customer User Exit variable to derive the Fiscal Week for Last Year (called it VAR2) based on another user input variable Current Fiscal Week (called it VAR1).
VAR2 is derived from VAR1 in CMOD via some codings and thus it DOES NOT have the "Variable is Ready for Input" flag ticked in the BEx. VAR1 is user input variable, so it has "Variable is Ready for Input" flag ticked in the BEx.
When we create a Crystal Reports with the BEx Query using variable VAR2, and when we run it we got an error message saying "Failed to execute query; '[]<java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: No Selection State Support!ZP_MI_LYPUBWEEK>'. Redesign your query or contact the data source maintainer to solve the problem". (note: ZP_MI_LYPUBWEEK is VAR2 in this case).
Could anyone please assist? Surely, CR supports BEx customer user exit variables like the above, right?. I also refer to the forum below as it seems to have a similar issue (except mine with an error message), but it does not provide a solution in it.

Hi Vibhav,
We have the SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise XI4.0 Version 14.0.0. Not sure if SP0 or other SP, got to check with Basis Team later.
We tried that "mandatory" option and did not work either.
Anyway, SAP has now come back again saying it is something they will fix it in next release/version. We got a phone call from them and a reply below to our OSS.
23.08.2011 - 08:20:49 CET - Info for Customer by SAP
I have raised this issue on the Idea#s Place as an enhancement request
on the below link:
https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/ideas/5586
This ER contains the information of including the customer exit
variables in the report without checking the #input for ready# option.
This ER can be considered for being implemented in the future

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 to get weekly report

Hi All,
I have a requirement as following. there are 2 user selection variables.
Selection variables are v1: start date: Period Range (d1-d2)
V2: Period : Values should be 1month, 3 months, 6months (these values should be populated from Customer exit variable itself)
The report layout shoud show:
Actual sales by week (for period selected in v1)
Plan sales by week (for period value selected in v2)
Can you please reply with the abap?
Quick replies are much apprciated.
Thanks
Suman

Hello,
You can try with the following way:
1) Create a new infoobject with master data tick on and load it via flat file with the needed values like 1 month, 2 months etc.
2) Now include this infoobject in the MPRO along with the other infoprovider. If not using MPRO please create and use one.
3) IN the MPRO include and assign this infobject in one of the dimension.
4) Now in the query include this infoobject in the filter and create an user entry variable and in its default value include #
5) Now include calmonth in the query and create a variable of type user exit not ready for input and include iit for calmonth.
6) Now create a user exit for variable on calmonth at i_step = 2.
7) The logic can be simply reading the value from the i_t_var_range table for variable on the new infobject and based on the selection write routine to populate the months needed.
8) Here note that while writing routine please make sure you read i_t_var_range for all values NE #.
9) The only disadvantage is that we need to always include # entry along with other entries.
Hope it helps!!

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.

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 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

Executing customer exit variable in dropdown box. in WAD

i have implemented two customer exit variables for current month and next síx months in a query and it is working well, and the code for customer exit variable is correct.
we have a requirement to use the customer exit variables in dropdown box in web application designer. in the dropdown box in web application designer i used command SET_SELECTION_STATE_SIMPLE in that 'command specific Parameters' i had given the exit variables current month and next six months.but after executing the web application designer and if i drill down the report with current month and next six months it's giving error message .
can anyone please tell me how to implement customer exit variables in web application designer through drop down box. i am using this in bi7 reports.

Customer Exit Variable to fetch the data from the cube..

Hello Gurus,
I am having a requirement to select the latest changed record from the cube while executing the query. where we are having the Calday as the date with a variable .
I suggested my client we can filter it at the DSO leve or Data loading level but my client dont want to distrurb the existing design so he want to perfrom the changes at the Query level only.
For Example we are having below records in the cube.
PO             Material     Calday       Qty         Price
101            ABC          1/12           100         10
101            ABC          2/12            100         10
101            ABC          3/12            100         11
I am having Calday in the selection screen as the variable.
Now from the above example i need to show the record which has been changed on 3/12.
For this i am planning to write the customer exit variable on the calday , when the user enter the range of Calday then i will fetch the whole records which fall in between the range and i will sort each PO with respect to the date and i will pick those which are the latest records.
My Concerns:
!. Kindly let me know if it is possible and what are the other things that i need to consider.
2. Did it will impact the performance.
Waiting for your quick replies
Thanks & Regards
KK

Hi Mate,
Sorry for late reply.
By d way in your word.
initially when the user enter the date range as the vairable input. suppose 1/12 to 31/12 then i will pick all those records which fall in this range.
suppose the records are
PO Date
P1 01/12
P1 02/12
P2 02/12
P2 03/12
P3 03/12
P3 04/12
In the customer exit variable Now for each PO i will sort the date in ascending order and i will pick the last record to display it in the Report.
The ouput will be
PO Date
P1 02/12
P2 03/12
P3 04/12
Now hope you are aware about exit variable concept.
so what value will pass in the calday filter.
here after sorting on each PO , you will get 3 different dates, 02/12 for P1
03/12 for P2
and 04/12 for P3
Now if you are aware about exit variable concept, then you will pass this three date to CALDAY(I_t_VAR_Range-low = ...)
but how query will understand that for P1 calday filter value is 02/12, for P2 calday filter value is 03/12.... and so on...
actually i have also experienced this kind of issue 1-2 years before, i have tried same thing at that time without thinking and stuck with this problem..
By d way you can also learn from your mistake.. so just try ur logic and then you will understand what is the problem?
By d way this will not work, parallel you can work on other solution.

Customer exit variable - internal table in BEX

Hi,
i am running a report and using variables in it.
The report runs over a info cube. There are few challenges in it.
One of the variable is posting date, and when user enters posting date i need to negate it with current system date.
If the negated value is greater than 28 then i need to exclude documnet type 'YG' and display the query, else i need to include the dcumnet type 'YG' and document type ' '. The above logic can be well implemented via a customer exit variable(for posting date) using an internal table. We have internal tables like C_T_DATA which is used in data source enhancement, which help us to implement our own desired logic.
Do we have such kind of internal tables, based on which the report output (result set) is derived?
i know that we have l_t_range and e_t_range, but dont know their usage, some one can explain in detail about them?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Selva & Lakshmin,
The code given by Selva is almost correct . If my understanding is clear , you also wanted to include document type ' ' when the negated value is less than 28 .
Modification in Selvas Code :
Variable 'V_DOCTYP' must be of type Multiple Single Values.
DATA : V_DATE LIKE SY-DATUM.
DATA : V_DAYS TYPE I.
if i_step = 2.
when 'V_DOCTYP'.
READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WITH KEY vnam = 'ZV_PDATE''.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
V_DATE = loc_var_range-low.
ENDIF.
V_DAYS = SY-DATUM - V_DATE.
IF V_DAYS > 28.
l_s_range-low = 'YG'
l_s_range-sign = 'E'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
ELSE.
l_s_range-low = 'YG'
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
clear l_s_range.
l_s_range-low = ' '.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
Hope the above reply was helpful.
Kind Regards,

Concatination of Two dates in customer exit Variable

HI Expert ,
I am writting customer Exit Variable to get Records from user entered Dates .
Eg. In Variable Screen of Bex report i have 2 Variable LYDate & TY Date both of them are As "Mutiple Single Value" & "Mendetory".
If we give LYDATE and TYDATE Date range as,
LYDate - 01/2013 - 06/2013
TYDate - 01/2014 - 12/2014
So I need ABAP Code which will get Value Range from 01/2013 from LYDATE and 12/2014 From TY DATE . So Query will Get data for 01/2013 TO 12/2014 (2 Years Data).
ZCALYEAR (Cusomer Exit) = LYDATE (01/2013) TO TY DATE(12/2104).
Please provide step by step ABAP Code to Achiev above issue. Points for Sure...
Thanks,
GB

Hi,
Some code like this will solve your issue:
CASE I_VNAM.
   WHEN 'NEWVARIABLE'.
   IF I_STEP = 2.
      READ TABLE I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE WITH KEY VNAM = 'LYDate'.
      If sy-subrc =0.
          CONCATENATE LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW(4) INTO L_S_RANGE-LOW.
          READ TABLE I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE WITH KEY VNAM = 'TYDate'.
          If sy-subrc =0.
               CONCATENATE LOC_VAR_RANGE-HIGH(4) INTO L_S_RANGE-HIGH.
               L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
               L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'.
          APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
        endif.
      endif.
    endif.
endcase.
