Dynamic text in Web Report (lookup on Variable Value)

Hi
If a user specifies a variable value to run a report (say company code), is it possible to have logic which looks up some attribute of company code (let's say country for example) and then displays this as part of some header text above the query results table?
E.G. Report:
These results are for country <value>.
.... col1 col2
row1 200 300
row2 100 400
I've had a look at the Text Element Object, but I couldn't determine if it can be used for this - ?
I'm not sure I could use a Customer Exit Variable to look up the Country, as what could it be attached to if Country is not in the query/Infocube - ?
(I have the added complexity of having multiple queries in one Web Report)
Many thanks in advance,

Hi,
I see 2 possibilities:
- Use a <b>text</b> variable with processing type customer exit in the query title and read the masterdata table in your customer exit depending on the variable value for company code.
- Create another query (query on masterdata table) with the same variable. This will result in one row returning the (in the query definition) defined attributes.

Hierarchy node text shows short text instead of medium text in WebI report

Hi,
We have created a simple Hierarchy suing Tx RSH1.
US -> North Carolina
South Carolinakey
Rest of America
Please note "North Carolina" is the medium text for the node while the short text which can contain max of 10 chars is "North Caro"
We have used and activated the hierarchy within the BEx query. Text display with "Medium Text" has been enabled for the InfoObject. The display on the BW report is as expected showing the medium text for all levels and all modes.
When a universe is built on the query and a WebI report is created based on the universe everything works fine other than than the Hierarchy text for different levels and nodes. Instead of showing the Medium text, the short text is getting display.
We took out the text object from the Universe in the Universe designer and went ahead with the key and medium text, but that did not help.
Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround for this issue?
We are on XI 3.1 SP3.
Rgds

Hi,
I am working on BO XI 3.1 SP2.
I have displayed the medium text for the hierarchy nodes as:
In my universe three detail objects(key, medium name and long name) gets generated for each hierarchy node.
I have copied the definition of L01 Medium name (detail object) in the L01 dimension object. similarly for other hierarchy nodes.
i.e. L02, L03.. etc.
Now the master data which have been loaded for the medium name will be displayed.

Display of Hierarchy Nodes as Medium Text in Web Report

Hello everyone,
Does anybody know how to display the hierarchy nodes as medium text instead of short text (default) in web report?
I know it is possible to change the display setting directly (by right clicking on hierarchy node > properties) from the web report.
However, I would love to know if there is any other way to change the settings such as through Query designer or Hierarchy maintenance in SAP GUI so that users do not need to change the display settings every time they view the web report.
Your help is kindly appreciated.

Thank you Shabar for you quick reply.
What if a Hierarchy is created under an InfoObject? How can I change the Text view of each name of the Hierarchy nodes?
In Query Designer, I tried to change the Text View to Long but it only affects the text of the InfoObject but not the Hierarchy nodes.
I tried the 2nd suggestion too. I only can find the BEx description for the InfoObject but not the Hierarchy nodes.
It would be great if anyone could tell me how to do so.
Thanks in advance.

WEBI Report Use of Variable in Drill Down

Hi,
i am new to BI Webi report just doing some practice exercise from E fashion Universe. Need your help in creating a WEBI report which should show Sales Revenue broken down to half-year level.
For example:
We have Year, when we drill Year 2004, it should not show Quarter infect i want to see 1st Half Year as Q1;Q2 and 2nd Half year as Q3;Q4 for that year.
For this i have created a Variable "Half Year"
=If([Quarter]InList("Q1";"Q2");"1st Half Year"; "2nd Half Year")
Is there anyway i can use this variable so when i drill Year it should Sales Revenue Broken as Half Year
Thanks

Hi Kamal,
1) Create Half Year object in Universe.
2) You can create custom Hierarchy in Universe like-
Year
Half Year
Quarter
Then you can drill down to Year>>Half Year>>Quarter

Dynamic schedulling of WEBI report

Hi,
I have created a WEBI report based on BICS connection.
Report has a date parameter and when scheduling the report in BI 4.0 Server based on daily, monthly and weekly I want to change the value of parameters dynamically.
How top acheive this?
Environment details:
BI 4.0 Support Pack 8 patch 4
SAP GUI 7.3
Thanks!
Nrupal

From where do you want to pass a value dynamically?
Dynamically doesn't mean random right? I should hold some logic receive from..
What I can think of is :
Pass a prompt value from another Webi report and schedule your original report based on event after executing your webi report which is passing the value.

Hyperlink Webi Report with BEX variable

I have a bex query with a selection variable.
It becomes a yellow filter in my BO Universe which I can use as a query prompt.
Question is, can I pass the value of that Bex Variable/ BO yellow filter from my parent report to my child report using OpenDoc.
When I try, the child report bombs and I receive an error message.
FYI, I am able to pass the values of BO Query Prompts from my parent report to my child report. The issue is with BEX variables?
Is there a solution? Can this be done??
Thanks
Using BO XIR3.1
Edited by: Tom Sidor on Aug 31, 2009 7:49 PM

Stratos,
Thanks for your reply.
My BO Webi report is based off a BEX Query, which generates the Universe used for my BO Report.
The Bex Query has a Variable Prompt that becomes a Filter/Prompt in my BO Universe & Report.
Here is the OpenDoc URL for this
"<a href=\"/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sDocName=MFD1-OrderHeader&sType=wid&sPath=%5BMarketingAnalysis%5D&lsSReporting Start Date:="[DT CMB]"&lsSReporting End Date:="[DT CME]"&lsSSKU:="([L01 Material Key])[CHP][CCP][UTP][MSP*][PRDP][CTP][PTP][DIVP][REGP][STSP][STZP][ATP][OPP][ORP][STCCP][ONP]"\" title=\"Order Header Drill Down\" target=\"_blank\" nav=\"web\">"[Orders Placed CM]"</a>"
The embedded variable, in the URL above, for the Bex Query Filter is below
Variable - [PRDP]
=If(IsPromptAnswered("Product:");"&lsMProduct:="URLEncode(UserResponse("Product:"))"")
This is the Where Clause from the Condition properites of Bex Query Varible in the Universe (yellow filter)
<OPTIONAL><FILTER KEY="[!V000002]"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="InList"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Product:','A','Material2 with updash\LovHierNodeL03 MaterialBase',multi,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER></OPTIONAL>
All my other WEBI Query prompts pass just fine. The problem again, is trying to pass a SAP BW Variable that is contain in the Bex Query.
I receive an error (WIS 10901)on my child report when I try to execute the drill down from the Parent report when I populate the Bex Variable Prompt on My BO Webi Parent Report. (again this only happens with the BEX variable, all other prompts work fine and pass the values with no issues).
Thanks for any help you may provide.

Simultaneous display of english & greek characteristics texts in web report

We have a web query that displays several characteristics as a hierarchy. Half of the characteristics are english and half are greek. Both languages (EN and EL) are maintained for each characteristic texts (even having greek chars in english text).
Until now we did not manage to get correctly displayed the greek characters from this display hierarchy on the web. We get only monkeys on the screen for greek stuff! and this regardless of settings of locale, IE encoding & logon language.
Is there a way to achieve this on the web as well?
Note: The display of characters is correct in Bex (in Excel)! We use BW3.1C with Oracle db 9.x db.
Thank you,
Narcis

We found a solution/workaround for this. The trick is not to use the standard bw stylesheet.
Create a new stylesheet (in public\bw\bex\stylesheets) that should use the correct font family. In our case worked fine with hellasarial (you may try few until you get the right one).
Still we do not enjoy this too much, since we need to install the font on enduser machines. Any other options are more than welcommed.

WAD 7: Hide Web Item depending on variable value

Hi,
I have two enterprise reports in a web template. The underlying queries have the same variable (calendar month). I want to achieve the following:
In case the variable is < 4: Show report A, Hide report B
In case the variable is >=4: Show report B, Hide report A
Any idea how to do this?
Best regards
Thomas

You should lookup how to use XPATH and Javascript combination. Xpath will let you query the value of the variable in Javascript and then you can use javascript to set the hidden property for the desired web item.

Hiding variables in WebI report

Hi,
We have generated an Universe based on a BW query which has 5 user entry variables with user exit logic coded for each one.
Based on this Universe we wish to create 2 WebI reports.
However, for the both the reports all the 5 variables are displayed.
Is there a way to hide the variables, so that on the first report we see two variables and on the second WebI report we are able to see the remaining three variables.
For all 5 variables, we have some logic on the BW user exits and hence we want to leaverage the BW variables and not opt for the WebI variables.
Rgds

Hi Free Will,
How did you manage to hide the variable, we have a similar issue, I have created a BW variable that is populated by Customer Exit. The problem is, for the query to be filtered in the Webi Report it the variable has to be defined as "input ready", and this allows the users to change the data in the variable which I don't want them to do. If I don't make it input ready the WebI Report is not filtered.
If we could hide the variable it would solve our problem
Thanks in advance

Need to display TEXT in web selection screen

HI All,
We are working on CRM-BW modeling. We have one field called "product" which will have key and medium text. We need to display both key + text in web reporting selection screen. When we ran first time text was not showing in web report. Then we found and change the configuration in search help in SE11 for that field. Then we can see the text+key combination in RSRT but still we can't see the text in web report selection screen...
Now what we have to do to display text in selection screen on web...
Please give your inputs ASAP.....we are in UAT phase....
Thanks in advance
Arun

Hi Arun,
For you case: Display key & text in selection screen.
In BW,
You can go to query designer, then you'll go to the info-object belong to the variable (selection-screen : product). Right-click, find for the properties, Then you'll see the option for <b>display as</b>.
Choose it for Key and text.
Then save it.
Go to the report, in the selection screen, when you're choosing for the help, you'll see the value displayed by key & text.
Hopefully it can help you a lot.
Regards,
Niel
Thanks a lot for any points you choose to assign.

Is it possible to create dynamic prompt in Webi Report at Report Level.
Regards,

Ok if i get your question right: you want to create a date dimension in webi as a variable and use it as a prompt is it ? then NO. ur date dimension from example has to come as a universe object. bcos prompt is always at the query panel level and variables created at he report level are not visdible here.
