Error in creating Formula Variable

Hi All:
I'm having problems in creating formula variable. Trying to create FV on a characteristic using replacement path with attribute value , but the wierd part is it's not giving me any attributes it's just blank. Any help would be appreciated....
Thanks,
Manasa.

Right click on the FM, create -> Characteristic -> attribute value -> but the attribute are not showing up. This happens if the attribute is of key figure type. I was able to do this in another system (ASIA DEV) but now trying in Europe Dev.

Getting error while creating the variable of Schema Element type

Hi everybody,
For creating a variable of schema element type I am doing the following steps...
Select 'Variables' after right clicking on bpel process. IN this window, go to 'Create VAriable' then select 'Element' type. Now in Type Choose, I expanded the my imported schema files. And selected a element type, then click ok to create this variable... I am getting the message...
IN ORDER TO SAVE IMPORTED WSDL/SCHEMA FILES, YOU MUST HAVE A PARTNER LINK LOCATED UNDER THE CURRENT PROJECT DIRECTORY.
What is mean by that.
I have imported the schema files in project. AFter that I have imported them into the WSDL also. Now why I am getting error while creating the variable. However I can create variable directly in .BPEL file then everything is fine. And it is working also. But what is mean with the above error? Why I am not able to create variable through GUI?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have this same problem this morning, and I was going crazy, until I found this webpage on the internet:
[http://technology.amis.nl/blog/1803/problem-importing-xml-schema-in-bpel-process|http://technology.amis.nl/blog/1803/problem-importing-xml-schema-in-bpel-process]
The idea is that the jdeveloper is not very good working with directories with spaces on the directory name. If you move all your work to a directory without spaces, it will work smoothly. At least, it had worked for me.

Hi,
How to create formula variable, such that it will appear in the variable screen.

Hi,
the variables you create in formula function are local to the function.
Ex., DATA CST_ELMNT TYPE 0COSTELMNT.
DATA QTY TYPE 0QUANTITY.
To get the variables listed in the variable screen you need o create variables at aggregation/filter level for the required characteristics.

Hi Rachit
You answered my doubt.This one really works . Thanks a lot !
But i have one more doubt i.e if have created the Presentation variable in the dashboard prompt and I want to use it in a report
i.e the scenario is If I have created a new column i.e " Revised Salary " in the Presentation Services and want the values to be entered there dynamically upon end users choice. For ex the end user selecrts value of 1 then the report would display an increament of 500 to all the employees in the " Revised Salary " column and if the end user select value of 2 .. the report would display a decrement of 500 in the " Revised salary column".
I am getting the following error :

Error in creating Text Variable

Hi Gurus,
I have one requirement to create a text variable for the user & the user wants to put the description as input to the variable.
But when i am creating the variable,the variable type "characteristic Value" is by default selected and i am also unable to change the variable type to text variable.
Please any body have the solution to resolve the error.
Regards
Debasish

Hi,
Just select a particular key figure and on the right side you will see its properties..
Now just besides the description of the key figure you will find a symbol for create variables, just click on that.. It will create a text variable...

Got an error while creating bind variables using sql database.

iam going to use sql database for ADF-BC .
i created the bind variable and apply the bind position for the corresponding variable in the view object editor.when i click test it shows me "query is valid". when i tried to run that it gives me two errors.
1) sql error during statement preparation.(ie) select empid ,empname......from the emptable where empid like :'emp' and
2) [Microsoft][SQl server 2000 driver for jDBC] invalid parameter bindings
i need help to know the solution for this...(or) is there any other way to create bind variable ......

The 3 binding styles supported by JDev:
Oracle Named - ie. SELECT xxxx FROM xxxx WHERE emp_id = :vEmp (note colon and variable name)
Oracle Positional - ie SELECT xxxx FROM xxxx WHERE emp_id = :1 (note colon)
JDBC Positional - ie SELECT xxxx FROM xxxx WHERE emp_id = ?
Literally this query is sent to the database to execute, then the bind variables values are applied as a separate database operation. If SQL Server doesn't suport any of these binding styles, it's not going to work. As Chris Noonan suggests, try the JDBC Positional style though as you're using a JDBC driver to connect to SQL Server and it should support that style (the others are Oracle styles), and make sure you've switched the binding style on the VO query page to "JDBC Positional" too.
You must also on the VO bind variable page define your bind variables.
Also read the 10.1.3 JDev guide on ADF Business Components and View Object bind variables.

Report painter- problem in creating formula variable- ps

Hi Experts,
i have copied report 6P3 - 6PP1-001 Act/Com/Total/Plan from library in report painter.
our requirement is we want two user fields from cj20n in this report. they are prps-usr04
and prps-usr05.
i have added these in header as special text variable as they were ALREADY available at header under
MASTER DATA FOR PROJECTS / WBS ELEMENT IN REPORT-WRITER.
now my requirement is to add new columns. for that i required these two fields in formula.
but as they are not present in formula component i am not able to get it.
what should i do to enter these fields in component list in formula?
PLEASE GUIDE ME?
AMOL

ActRunningBal is a running total calculated in crystal or database field? If it is a database field then you can try this
if {command.CR-Amount} <>0 then
{command.CR-Amount}
else
previuous()+previous({command.Dr-Amount})
If it is a running total you cannot apply previous function on it.

Formula Variable error

Hi All
I have a requirement to calculate an aging bucket. ( CURRENT_DATE - EXPIRE_DATE). I have Expire_date as a characteristic InfoObject of DATS type.
I found a solution to create formula variable in BEX and use replacement path functionality.
When i do the same i can save the variable and the query. but on performing a query check i get the following error:
variable used incorrectly or does not exist.
Kindly suggest why this is happening. We are using Bex 7. I refered to the following link.
http://www.sd-solutions.com/SAP-HCM-BW-Replacement-Path-Variables.html

Hi,
check out tths pdf.It will give you whole insight on how to work on ageing report.

Formula variable used in exception and condition - gives a check error

The same formula variable is used in a condition and exception within a query. When I click on "check", I get the message "Variable <myvar> Is Used By More Than One Infoobject". The variable is a formula variable, processed by User Entry/Default Value, with optional entry, ready for input, Dimension "number", default value -0.01. However, the query still saves, generates and executes without problem.
This is with BW 7.0, SP 14. And with query designer 3.5, version 3500.7.572
I'd be grateful if a few people could try to reproduce this, letting me know their version. To reproduce it:
Create a query. Create formula variable processed by User Entry/Default Value, with optional entry, ready for input, Dimension "number", default value -0.01. Create a condition using the variable. Create an exception using the variable. Click on Check. Save and execute the query.
Thanks
Matt

It is a warning and you can ignore it , if in query execution you get correct result / output...(then it implies u r on safe side)
But if you are so much concerned about warning then as a workaround just create another Formulae variable and use it in Condition and use the previous formulae variable for Exception.
This way you will have 2 variables for 2 different purposes
and you will get rid of the warning message.
So far if you get the correct output of query then there is no need to worry.

Formula Variable with User Exit....Problem

Hi
My requirment is to create a Formula Variable on User Exit that will give me Current Cal Year...so that i can use that vale in Formulas
Created Formula Variable with processing Type Customer Exit single Value,Mandator and Unchecked the Variable input ready
The below code in CMOD
WHEN 'XXXXXXX'.
Year = sy-datum(4).
CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = Year.
L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
But when i execute the query i am getting the below error
No value could be determined for variable xxxxxxx.
Incorrect call of OLAP layer CL_RSR_OLAP; error in BW-BEX-ET
Diagnosis
This error diagnosis is specific only to the variables 0P_FVAEX or 0P_CTPCA !
Termination message BRAIN 632 appears:
Could not determine value for variable 0P_FVAEX (or 0P_CTPCA).
WHAT WRONG I AM DOING...please update me

Use the code:
WHEN 'XXXXXXX'.
     IF i_step = 2.
          Year = sy-datum(4).
          CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
          L_S_RANGE-HIGH = Year.

Issue in query transport ( formula variable)

Hi Experts,
I have issue while transporting a query.
I have created two formaula variables, with them created a calculated keyfigure.
The transport of this query was failed with return code 8 with Error message 'Element 4XDRFT... is missing in version M'.
Diagnosis:
Element &1 in version &2 referenced but is not active
System Response:
The action had to be terminated
Procedure:
Please supply the missing elements to the system by a transport
The two newly created formula variables are giving error with above message.It is showing these variables are missing in version M
Can you please help me where i am missing and how to resolve this issue,
Regards,
Mohd.

Hi,
You did not collect all elements while transporting.
Try to collect the missing elements in a new transport request and move.
You can identify the missing Elements description from table RSZELTTXT.
go to SE16 > RSZELTTXT > give ID as "4XDRFT..." > hit execute to see the missing query element description
Hope this helps u...

KK.

Problem with formula variable

HI,

here i created 2 formula variable one is system date. second formula vaiable with replacement path is posting date. second formula vaiable not populating data. please help on that.
regards,
kris

Hi,
here is some idea.. here i have taken expample dates 1)notification creation date and 2) notification completion.
1st:in the query designer at key figure coloumn create
one local formula.in that local formula create formula
variable with replacement path.in that take reference character
notification completion.in the next tab take replace ment
as key.in the last tab select "date".
2nd: do the same thing for the notification creation date.
3 rd : create 3 rd local formula and do the substraction
for the first 2 local formulas.
4th:create codition on the difference which u have find with
on that condition u can create one user entry varibale.
5th:while u defining the query put these 2 dates,i,e
notification completion, notification creation date in the character block.
If not system will ignore the formula variable which u created in
above steps.
Hope this wil help u.
regards....KP

Formula variable with replacement path on system date

Hi Experts,
I got a requirement to calculate "Days without payment" in report level.
Days without payment = System Date - Payment Date.
(Payment date field is available in CUBE, but system date field is not available in the CUBE)
As we know, the difference b/w 2 dates is not possible directly.It can be possible by creating 2 formula variables with replacement paths on the dates and by writing aformula on these 2 formula variables.
But the thing is I dont have system date readily available, and I tried by using SAP Exit. But we cant create formula variable replacement path on another variable (SAP EXIT).
Do we have any SAP variable for formula with replacement path readily avaliable to get system date (or) any other suggession.
Please suggest me.
Thanks,
Sai Chand.S

Hi Arminder,
Thanks for your valuable answer.
I tried doing the same previously.As u said we can get system date by creating customer exit variable.
But the thing is to find difference b/w 2 dates, we cant do it directly, we need to create 2 formula variables with replacement path.
1) Var1 = Formula variable with replacement path on system date(custoer exit variable).
2) Var2 = Formula variable with replacement path on paymanet date.
Number of days = var1 - var2.
But as in 1st point, we cant create formula variable with replacement path on another variable, as system date is already a variable of type customer exit.
We can create replacement paths only on characteristics.
Please suggest me .
Thanks,
Sai Chand.S
