How to include text lable in Variable selection screen (Web Reporting)

Hi Experts,
I have created one query and in Web Report-->variable selection screen I have one Date field for that field I have to display a label stating that user to input date in the format YYYY.MM(like a text label).Actually I have created 10 to 12 report . I need u r suggestion such that a single change will reflect my requirement in all the reports and I have created all the reports for same multiprovider.
Thanks in Advance
Yours,
Bala

Bala,
Prompts can originate from one of two places: either via Designer and using the @prompt functionality or while creating the report building a prompt in the Query Filters panel. If the prompt was built using the @prompt method, and all 10-12 reports are using that particular @prompt, then one change via Designer will cause all reports to reflect the new verbiage. If you built the 10-12 reports using the prompt in the second scenario, then each individual report needs to be opened, modified and then saved. If you must use the latter method, then you can open the first report, modify the prompt verbiage, then highlight the new verbiage with your mouse and hit Control-C (which copies that text to the Clipboard of your Windows system). Then go to the second report, locate the verbiage that needs to be changed, delete it, then Control-V (which pastes), and voila, some keyboarding strokes are saved....
Thanks,

Variable selection in WEB wrongly transferred to initial variable screen

Dear all,
I am currently working for a company in the Netherlands where they use a lot of reports in the web.
Till one month ago, selecting a period from the list in the WEB didn't gave any problems.
However, at this moment while selecting a random period, the period is not correcly taken from the variable selection list (see: http://members.home.nl/repoortman/variable.jpg)
Example:
selecting reporting period 001.2006 via the selection screen
it is 'transferred/copied' to the initial variable selection screen as '001 06' while I expect as it should be '001.2006'.
The work around is to enter the period and year manually, but this is not a recommended action from user perspective.
Perhaps a coincidence, but this error is applicable since the last service pack upgrade: SAP BW 3.5, SP22, SAPKW35022.
How is this possible and how can I solve it (perhaps a setting in BW or a table?)
any help is more than welcome!
thanks in advance.
R.E. Poortman

in WAD in the template properties you can set the parameter <b>Force Variable screen</b>
the same can also be pass as a URL parameter
VARIABLE_SCREE=X
this will make the variable screen to comeup irrespective of whether the variable is mandatory or not.
Hope this helps.

Text upload in Web Template variable selection screen

Hi all,
In the Analyzer it is possible to upload text files in the variable selection screen but I can't find this feature in the variable selection screen for Web Templates.
Anyone has an idea ?
Regards,
Olivier

Hi,
it's is not possible with standard.
I read in some sap feature paper that it will come.
Maybe it will be possible with modification, but that's only an idea.
Kind regards,

How to not display unnecessary attributes in variable selection screen?

Hello everybody,
I created a input variable referenced Calendar Year/Month(0CALMONTH) in my query. But as I select values for my variable when I execute the query, all the display attribute of 0CALMONTH displayed in the select screen, just like Calendar Year/Month Text, Calendar Year Key, Calendar month key, Number of Days Key, Number of Workdays Key...But I think just display Calendar Year/Month Text in the select screen is enough, how do I just display necessary attributes in the variable selection screen, not all the display attributes of 0CALMONTH?
Tks!

Variable selection screen: display as Key

We are using NW2004s for our BI system and for the front-end components (Bex Query Designer, Bex Query Analyzer, ...)
When opening a certain query with the Analyzer, the variable selection screen is shown. But now we can only input values directly in the fields if we change the display setting from Text to Key. (input values directly = without using the input help)
Is there no way to put the display on Key by default for the variable selection screen?
Hopeful greetings,
Ben De Windt

Hello Ben,
unfortunately this is not possible at the moment. The feature will be available with SPS 13, which is planned to be available in calendar week 32. Please have a look at the Functional Enhancements Schedule BI in NW 7.0 (formerly known as 2004s) on page 20:

BI report not displaying Variable selection screen on UI

Hi,
We have recently upgraded our CRM to 7.0, but the strange thing is the BI reports are executing without giving the user the variable screen.
Now the alternative to this is making the variables in BI section Mandatory and they show up in the report, but this is not the correct way.
Are we missing some piece of configuration somewhere.
Regards
Lalan

Hi Vinayak,
Do you know how can I get the variable selection screen to display in BI analyzer when I execute the report from backend BW system and it launches BI analyzer. I know we can go into Add-Ins and from toolbar we can go into Change Variables Values icon, but I would like selection screen to display as default when user runs the report from backend.
Thanks
Divya

Need to skip the variable selection screen when using dropdown

Hello Friends,
I have created a web template having a dropdown, a table and a text element. Basically I am trying to follow the guide "How to Use a Dropdown Box to Set Variable Values". It shows how to select values for a variable using dropdown.
NOTE: The guide can be found here:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2642ab90-0201-0010-9193-d59de66cbab4
What is happening is when I select a value for the variable in the dropdown, the correct url is getting formed but instead of displaying the report using the selected value, the variable selection screen appears. Given below is the url that gets formed:
http://abcdev.wdf.sap-ag.de:8000/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=E&PAGENO=1&REQUEST_NO=3&CMD=PROCESS_VARIABLES&SUBCMD=VAR_SUBMIT&VAR_NAME_1=TSTPEROD&VAR_VALUE_EXT_1=04.2007
Please assist me to get rid of the variable selection screen. Thanks!
Regards,
Prem.

Hello Ray,
Thanks for your reply. This has partially resovled the issue. I have awarded you points for that. Now I am able to skip the variable screen.
However, the query results are not getting refreshed. I wanted to restirct the values based on the value given in the variable selection (In my case the dropdown box). Somehow I am not able to link the dropdown with the variable or the "SAPBWOpenURL(url);" function is having some issues.
Please assist. Thanks!
Regards,
Prem.

Enabling Key and text for the Variable Selection screen

I need to display key and text for a characteristic when selecting the drop down menu in the variable selection screen of a web report. In the Business Explorer tab within the info-object, I changed the General Settings to display Key and text, but when I open the drop down menu for this characteristic, it is still displaying the key only. Is there some other place where this change needs to happen?

Urgent: Custom Text in Variable Selection Screen

Hi Experts,
I know that it is not recommended by SAP to customise the variable screen, I am sorry but that is ridiculous coz there are no alternatives provided for even simple editing. I''ve searched every where in SDN to find a way to simply add a custom text element in this bizarre screen.
I need to do that because I have to group variables that look similar in a container and add some instructions to users on how to base their selections.
I am also not sure what exactly the web item whcih is behind this selection screen or perhaps if it is another web template that is being invoked by the standard template ""0analysis_pattern"" and if any what is that web item invoking it.
If you have any clues of how i can achieve this please adivce as soon as you possibly can.
Points will be assigned.
Cheers,
Jad

Hello,
To customize your variable screen you should neeed developer access key..you can see whether you have got or not in table Devaccess..
Personalisation of variables is for saving all inputs for future use. ( In your case save without any pre determined values )
Below PDF link will surely answer your doubts.
http://www.ies.state.pa.us/imaginepa/lib/imaginepa/mso2.pdf
The personalization option can be activated in the system (using the program RS_PERS_ACTIVATE or the IMG guide (BW Customizing Implementation Guide -> Business Information Warehouse -> Reporting-Relevant Settings -> General Reporting Settings -> Activate personalization in the BEx).
You can manage your personalization variable through BEX Analyzer "Change Variable Values" menu option "Business Explorer --> change query --> change variable values.

Go through this link for making cange in Variable selection screen..
Re: No Text displayed in the Input help in WEB
For creating the Web Template..
Go the web application designer, create a new web template in the template
in the left hand side you will find web items , from there drag and drop table , navigation block for your navigation attributes and in the table you have to assign the data provider
for that first you have to do
<object>
<param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
<param name="CMD" value="SET_DATA_PROVIDER"/>
<param name="NAME" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
<param name="QUERY" value="your query name"/>
<param name="INFOCUBE" value="your cube or multiprovider name "/>
DATA_PROVIDER: DATAPROVIDER_1
</object>
now you can asssign the data provider 1 to the table.
you can all the neccessary things you want , like check box, radio button group, charts etc.
while saving this save it in a role.
If you want to do this for a workbook, which has been created in the BEx Analyzer, do the following:
After embedding the query in the workbook, right click -> choose 'properties' in the context menu -> click the 'interaction' tab -> check the 'save and reuse variable values' option.
After doing this, once the workbook or query is refreshed, the already entered variable values are taken.

How to add customize message on the variable selection screen in the query

Hi all,
Can we add an customise message on the variable selection screen in the query? If yes please let me know how it can be achevied?
Thanks,
Rani

Hi Rani,
I faced a similar issue (for what I understand your request is).
My requirement for the Variable Screen was to do:
1) place a link to a ppt file
2) remove buttons "Save", "Save As...), "Delete"... the standard buttons come when running the Query or WebTempl
We were using a Web Templ for BI7.0
I struggled trying to find out how to do it. My conclusions are:
- WAD, not sure we can accomplish it using a Web Template but i did not "play" a lot with the Web_Template Properties in order to know
- XHTML, I was told in my post HTML modification was the way, but I have close to nil background in HTML and couold not find the way of accessing the Variable Entry screen
For instance, I had to remove similar buttons and change some font size from a link on the Web Template (WAD), which was pretty straight forward. In WAD the buttons come with its own icon and to increase the Font size for that link we used XHTML (<font size="2" >). But the heck of the variable screen...well, i just did not get trhough to it to modify it in any way.
Good luck,
Definetly in a Query I would say that no.

How to run the variable exit without calling the variable selection screen?

Hi all
I have a query with 2 variables 0P_PRQUA (Previous Calendar Quarter (SAP Exit)) and ZCCDAT02.
ZCCDAT02 is a Key Date variable that is derived based on the last day of the quarter that is entered in 0P_PRQUA. The exit code works correctly when calling up the variable screen and ZCCDAT02 is derived properly.
The problem is that 0P_PRQUA is set to "Can be changed in query navigation". So if the user changes the value of the quarter the exit is not triggered and the value of ZCCDAT02 does not change.
Is it possible to trigger the exit or is there another way to do it? Ideas would be appreciated. I am trying to create a Web Template with a Dropbox box for the Quarter.
Query is written in BW 3.X.
Regards
Chami

Hi guys
Just to restate the requirement. I want the user to be able to change the value of the variable, WITHOUT calling the variable selection screen.
I want the user to be able to change the value of the quarter by using a dropdown box from within the web template. Once that is selected I want the value of ZCCDAT02 to be derived from the new value of the quarter.
Regards
Chami

# value in Variable Selection screen

Hello,
Can you please help with the below:
How do we remove # (Not Assigned) value from Variable selection screen. When I select PLANT in one of the report, I see # value. But there are no empty values in the cube. So, I am not sure as why I am getting this # value in Selection Screen. The seeting in Web designer for READ MODE is "Posted Values" and not "Master data or Dimension Table".
Thanks.

have you checked what Bex properties are set in the Info Object for "Query Def. Filter Value S"
Select Values from Info provider.
that might solve your problem. But ensure you're not disturbing anything else by changing this property.
Regards, Siva
