Edit HTML of initial Variable Screen in WAD

Hai
WAD
Is it possible to edit initial variable screen which I get after publishing it in the browser. Can I change the settings like color,font add logo in the top of the varibale screen?
Thx in Advance
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
I think it's possible by editing the style sheets(CSS) in the MIME repository.
SAP Business Information Warehouse -> Business Explorer -> Mime Repository
Export the style sheet you want to edit and after making the necessary modifications you can upload it under another file name by choosing the option Import MIME objects(By Rt clicking the Stylesheets folder).
Hope this helps.
Regards
Hari

Hi Abraham,
thsi could be a problem from the specisic setting of the infocube. Please check the BEx Settings from the infocube. You can find them by the following steps:
- search for the infocube
- doubleclick on the infocube
- choose an specific infoobjekt
- right mousebutton and click "specific dataprovider settings"

Variable screen in WAD

i have couple of questions on variable screen while working with Web Application Designer
1) i am using variables with multiple single entries in my query and when the variable screen in WAD is displayed i have something called insert row icon for each of the variable i used. i do not want to display this icon. is it possible. when i have a single mandatory variable i don't see this icon
2) when i select a value for one of my variable, say for plant. then i only want the key to be displayed. whereas when i choose a particular plant i can see the key in the variable box and the text which describes the plant adjacent to the variable box. is it possible to display only key.
3) i have something like this
Plant Description
NJ New Jersey (description is seen adjacent to the key in the variable box)
now when i want to empty the screen and run the query for all plants i can delete the key but my description is still seen.
any idea
thanks

thanks for your responses. i have another problem which is similar to the above ones
i have variables with multiple single values as optional. now in the variable screen if i choose to enter more than one value, lets say 2 values for the plant then i have two values and its text adjacent to the selection box.
since i am using optional variable and if the user wants to run the report for all the plants then he comes back to the variable screen and has to empty the selection box. the problem is we can empty the selection box but we are not able to remove the text description adjacent to the selection box which the user says its confusing.
is there any way we can get rid of it. may be when we refresh the variable screen can we write a code which simply displays the empty variable screen.
any ideas gurus
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 Force Variable screen
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.

How can i Refresh my Variable Screen In WAD templet?

Hi Experts,
When i execute a WEB Templet giving Variable Selection Inputs , the Variable input values gets stored in the Variable Tab and will not change untill i Change it.
Example
Variable input 0PLANT 5030(this 5030 is the input where i give in the variable selection screen)
when i click back on the intrenet Explorer , this 5030 will be there stored in the 0PLANT tab.
can any one give me solution how can i refresh the variable screen in the WAD
Santosh Nagaraj

Tis might be a browser feature - the variable values tend to get stored - you could look at implementing DSM ( through portal ) or try making your template stateless and see if the value changes...

WAD / Insert Variable Screen into WAD

Hi All,
How can i insert the variable screen into my WAD?
For example:
First, when i executed the WAD i need to show (all together in the same page) the variable screen and below the table.
Regards

Hi Nicola
I dont know of a way to display the variable screen in the wad however, an alternative is to use the Information Field web item and tick the variable visible check box in the web item parameters, untick the other 4 items if you only want the variables to display, this will display the current variable selections for the query, you can then have a link item or button that calls the OPEN_VARIABLE_DIALOG command, this will link back to the variable screen but also maintatin the current filters and layout of the query.
Hope this helps

Logo in varible screen in WAD

Hi All:
Is it possible to have a logo in the variable screen in WAD, which is the right class and method which should be changed.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Tina

Tina ,
The variable screen is not available for customization , unless you make an SAP Object modification in the base class.
What you could do is :
1. Have a HTML Page to take in the entries with the text boxes for the variable
2. Evaluate really how important the logo is to the report. ( I am not sure if anyone would take a print out of the variable entry screen )
Option 1 involves a lot of javascript to fetch variable values and additional queries and in some cases modifying the help service class to acheive what you need.
Hope this helps

P.S I know I have ended up telling you that what you want cannot be achieved , but assigning points is a way of saying thank you in SDN!!!!

Reg: Requirement to change Variable Screen with BI 7.0

Hi,
We have a Requirement with Variable Screen in WAD 7.0 (7.1 GUI).
Issue 1: By seeing the Variable in Variable Screen, we can't say whether it will accept Multiple Values or not? ..We need to press F4 then only we can come to know.
Issue 2. We couldn't able to select Value Ranges right away in one Step(too many Navigations). At Least, Our Users are not happy with it. Even though we can provide manually by specifing '-' .
Is it possible to get Variable Screen similar 6.4 GUI.
If it is possible, please guide me to complete my Requirement.
Thanks a lot!
Nagesh Ganisetti.

Prakash, do you know how to go about doing custom coding on the variable screens?
Is there documentation available on this?
Is it as simple as opening a specific template in the WAD, and if so, do you know the name of the template?
Cheers,
Andrew

Bookmark Issue in WAD (Report Output without Variable Screen)

Hi ,
This issue is with the Saving of Report Output to Bookmark.
Expected Output:
Clicking on the Bookmark should bring out the Report Output with the Period and Year, which was used while saving the Bookmark. It should not pop up variable screen at the beginning.
Issue:
Currently, when I click the bookmark, Its triggers the default template and it brings out the Variable Screen with the default Selections, which i dont want to. I need to get the same output with the values which I saved under Bookmark.
Please suggest me a solution...
Thanks / Selvan

Hi, i dont rememberm but, can you check mark you DP_1 and properties->Behavior->Display variables screen->on

How to hide some variables on variables screen in web report (in WAD)

I need to hide some optional variables (not all of them) on variables screen in web template.
Hiding the whole selection screen is not an option, since users have to populate other variables and some variables are mandatory.
Web template is based on a query that can be run in BEx Analyzer by superusers - and there they need all variables. I want to use the same query both in BEx Analyzer for superusers and on the Portal for regular users. For portal version though I need to hide some of the variables on the selection screen. Is it possible at all?
I would like to avoid creating two separate queries - one for Analyzer and one for Portal.

if the variables are optional and mandatory both avaialble
then there is no chance that u can hide them
the only option is to create a save as QUERY and remove those variable.
it is not possible to just hide the variable screen...
if u hv used they will be displayed....
if u dont want it dont use it...
and if really using another query is not advisable as u said
the only thing i can say is that... try to interact with ur security person
ask him u need to create several authorization objects for several variables
if that is possible
let him create those
assign those specific authorization object to specific user id
use it for specific variables u need
tat way super users with specaial authorization can acess the same query and can see specific variables
regular users withouts authorization of variables can see rest of variables.

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?
