Customized variable for Bex

Hi Gurus;
I am using BI 7.0. My client wants a customized variable for 0CALMONTH with 2 dialog boxes in the selection screen saying "From month" and "To Month". When you input months, say; 06.2008 in "From Month" and 08.2008 in "To Month", the output which will come is data from all the months between 06.2008 and 08.2008. The 2 dialog boxes are important in this screen. I know. it can be done through interval option in BI 7.0, but the dialog boxes doesn't appear in the first screen of the Selection Screen (Like in 3.x).Is there a way to fulfill my client's requirement? Please provide me a step - by - step guide if possible.
Regards;
Sumanta

Sumanta,
Could you please clarify
1 ] whether you are using BEx Analyser or Web queires to execute the report? Does your query has only the custom variable as it selection parmeter?
2] Is your Custom variable(with Interval) for 0CALMONTH is defined as mandatory / optinal ?
If you are using Web queries and you variable is defined as optional, then there is setting that you need to do on the web template that you are using.
Choose you web template on the properties tab> Choose Web Template parameters>under the behaviour section ,choose check box for Display variable, as the default is off. This means that if you have Custom variables that are optional on you BI query will not be display as selection screen.
Hope this help,
Cheers,
Balaji

How to create a custom variable for a Label?

i need my label to store a string variable in it, do you know i can create a custom variable for it.
i mean for example if it's name is "StoredString" i can access it in my code by "label1.StoredString" just like "Label1.text" or something like that.

Thanks for pvdg42's help.
Hi soorena12,
Based on your issue, I suggest you can try the pvdg42's suggestion check your issue in your side.
If it still could not help you solve this issue, I suggest you can tell me which kind of application you create the label in the VS IDE?

Migrating Customer exit for BEX variables to BADI's

Hi All,
I am new to ABAP In the context of BW.
I am using exit RSR00001 to populate variables in BEX reports.
I want to migrate this customer exit RSR00001 to BADI.
Can any one please tell me how to migrate the same and how it will fire in place of exit?
Thanks In Advance

Any more customized program for BEx

Hello,
I wonder if there is any way to customized data from BEx Analyzer rathan using variables with processing type-Customer Exit?
-WJ-

You can use Excel Formulas and VB Macros to do customization but it works only with workbook and not with queries.
If you want to do additional customization for your reports then you have to save the query in a Workbook and you have to write the VB Code in the interface.
Sub SAPBEXonRefresh(queryID As String, resultArea As Range)
Write your Code here
End Sub
You can search in SDN for Code Samples to achieve the results.

CUSTOMER VARIABLE FOR MONTH

Hi all,
i have one requerment. that is in the report i will give date on selection screen ,based on the date i want to get month only.
on that month ican use variable offset.. please give me the code if any body have (i_step =2).
thanks

Hi.
You can try the next:
1. create variable for user date (lets say Z_DATE)
2. create variable for month (not ready for input, mandatory, customer exit) lets say Z_MON
3. in [EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001 |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20f119d9-922d-2c10-88af-8c016638bd90?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]try to read i_t_var_range table with key Z_DATE
4. parse this value - take by ABAP only month from the date
5. set this value (month) = value - 1
6. assign this value to Z_MON variable.

Setup variables for BEx Query

Dear all,
I am working on a BEx query. I would like to show MTD and YTD actual & planned expenses. My questions are as follows:
(1)      how can I set up variables or variants which can look up the system date to calculate the MTD and YTD date? For example, I execute the query without input the date and I would like the query automatically look up the date for YTD (e.g. 1/1/2009 u2013 2/20/2009) and MTD (2/1/2009 u2013 2/20/2009) for actual expenses?
(2)     Since the planned data is by year and distribute 12 months equally and not by day, how can I set up variables which can look up the system date to calculate the number of the days from the beginning of the year up to today and beginning of the month update to today so I can calculate the MTD and YTD planned expenses based on the annual budget.
Thanks

Thanks Reddy,
Since my variable for planned data is not date variable anymore, it is a factor = current date / number of days in current month and I used this to multiple by the planned monthly data. If I used entire month and the plan data will be overvalue, I can't compare to the MTD actual data since actual date is updated by day. How can I create a variable for this and use it to caluclate in the BEx Query?
I believe the function will work but I don't know much about ABAP. I try to search sample code for the function. here is what I get but I don't think it is going to work. Can you point out what is missing? I believe I need to put it under 'ZXRSAU01'
Under CASE I_DATASOURCE
I put
WHEN 'ZMTDFACTOR'. #the variable name of the MTD factor
PERFORM ZMTDFACTOR_EXIT.
In ZMTDFACTOR_EXIT and here is the code I get so far
WHEN 'ZMTDFACOTR'.
    DATA: SDT TYPE SY-DATUM,
          MON_FACTOR TYPE N,
          ST_CD(2) TYPE N,
          ST_LD(2) TYPE N.
            l_date_in type sy-datum,
            l_date_out type sy-datum.
          SDT = SY-DATUM.
*current date
          ST_CD = SDT+6(2).
CONCATENATE l_v_calmonth '01' into l_t_range-low.
l_date_in = l_t_range-low.
CALL FUNCTION 'SLS_MISC_GET_LAST_DAY_OF_MONTH'
EXPORTING
    day_in                  = l_date_in
IMPORTING
   LAST_DAY_OF_MONTH       = l_date_out
EXCEPTIONS
   DAY_IN_NOT_VALID        = 1.
*last date
ST_LD = l_date_out+6(2).
*Calculate the factor based on the MTD
MON_FACTOR = ST_CD / ST_LD.
How can I send MON_FACTOR to ZMTDFACOTR and back to the query?
Thanks again.

Custom variables for reporting

Hello,
I have a customer who has UCCX 8.5 and was wondering if they can do the following. Call comes in, agent answers the call and when the call is complete, they would like the agent to add an "account code" to the call from within CAD. They then want to use this "account code "for reportings. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!

Yes but the agent won't be prompted for it so it would require some training.
The CallVariables1-10 that are stored to the ccdr table record for the call can be given a friendly name such as Account Code under Desktop Administration. You would also need to add that variable to a Layout List so it is shown in CAD.
The Script would need to set that Layout List to be used with the Set Enterprise Info step.
The Workflow Group of the agent (created in CAD Workflow Administrator, assigned in Desktop Administrator) would need to allow users to Modify Enterprise Data.
The CSQ would need to be configured to place the agent in a Work state. The agent can only modify the Enterprise Data during the Talking or subsequent Work states. Once they go Not Ready or Ready again the record is written.
With all of that in place the agent could double-click on the Account Code field within the Enterprise Data section of CAD. It will open a small dialog and they can type in the value they want.
Please remember to rate helpful responses and identify helpful or correct answers.

Custom Variables and Scorm Compliance

In order to implement a special grading scheme for my project, I'm utilizing custom variables for my captivate presentation. How do I ensure that my variable usage is SCORM compliant?

Mike,
We do that all the time in my company. We never use the Captivate SCORM publish option but simply publish to a standard SWF.
We then add JavaScript calls within Captivate to handle the SCORM functions (e.g. navigation, unload page etc.) and build our SCORM manifest in Reload. The JS SCORM support files are the standard apiwrapper.js found on the ADL webpage and a custom JS file that contains some extra functionality for our LMS.
One of the reasons why we are doing it this way is that 99% of our courses consist of multiple chapters. This way we can easily control the entire course structure in the manifest we build in Reload and avoid using the Aggrevator ;o) Another reason is that we almost never use the Captivate quizzing features but instead use a custom Flash based quiz in our courses.

How to get data for current week and previous week using customer exit in Bex.

Hi everyone,
I have a scenario in which I need to display data for current week and previous week (based on "sy_datum" the program has to calculate current week and previous week) in Bex using Customer exit. I have created one variable in Bex Query Designer and I have written code for the variable in CMOD. But it is not working fine, (I know that we can do the same by using offset value in Bex). Can some one guide me how to achieve my requirement using customer exit.
Thanks in Advance,

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!!

Custom drop down list for the filter for BEX report

Hi, all:
I am writing a query for a BEX report that prompts the user to enter a value for a field "GL account". I would like to have the user select from a limited number of GL options rather than have the whole Chart of accounts show up. Is there a way to make a "custom" drop down list for the filter?
Thanks!
Jenny

You need to make your GL account info object as an authorization object. And in the info object ,for BEx you need to select the option "only authorized values".
Create an analyis authorization on gl account and assign the restricted set of GL accounts to the user. Asign this analysis authorization to the user.In the query restrict this infoobject with an authorization variable. This would solve your purpose.user would be able to see only a selected set of GL accounts for which he is authorized.
