Hi,
Try maintaining Text for the InfoObjects on which you are creating variables.
Say like you have crated variable P on InfoObject company code...then maintain text for that InfoObject.

Issue with Data Provider name in variable screen for BEx Analyzer

Hello all,
We got an issue with Data Provider name in Variable screen in BEx Analayzer.
We want to change the DataProvider name there to Description of the report instead of its Technical name.
Any inputs are appreciated.
Thanks
Kumar

You have to create a workbook to do this.
Refresh your query/report. In Bex analyser, there is one toolbar named BEx design toolbox, If you are not able to see it in analyser, right click on the toolbar space of BEx analyser and click on BEx design toolbox. Here, goto to design mode, by clicking on a sysbol like 'A'. after that place the curser where you want to see the Query description. and click on insert text (T) in BEx toolbox. click on it and check "Query description" in constant tab. in the general tab you need to assign a dataprovider, for that assign your query name in workbook settings (in Bex design toolbox). also check the "display caption" in general tab.

User Entry in variable screen in BEX analyzer

If we open a query in the Bex analyzer (BI 7.0), it seems only possible for us to enter variables in the dialog screen after the pushbuttons Ctrl + K for each variable. Is it possible to change the default setting in the BEx analyser variable screen, so that the variables are ready for input (without the ctrl + k)?
Looking for any help on this.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,
We recently went though the same issue. You need to install the last patch for SAP GUI (Patch 4) and the BEx 7.0 Front End (Patch 2). After you install them all variables will be ready for input without the need of using CRTL + K. We got the installer files from our basis team the names are GUI710_4-10002995.EXE and BI710SP02P_201-10004472.EXE.
I will work for sure !!!

Adding description in variable screen of Bex query

Hi All,
I have restricted one variable ( let us say abc)
these variable have value P, A.
when user select this value in the variable screen (let us say 'P') then the description field also shows 'P' .
I want user to select the value as 'P' but in description field it should come as "Pending' .
Please suggest how to do that
regards

1. If u want the description in the variable screen, the variable should be created on MD in which the text should maintain on this.
2. In the Multiprovider, go to that infoobject -> Provider Specific properties -> make this as key and text.
If you dont get the description, finally go to that infoobject, in Business explorer tab -> general settings - give key and text for Display.
hope this would help u.

In the web template properties there should be a tick box called 'display variable', the web template will now show the variable entry screen.
You can create a commad with the command wizard which will allow you to export to excel or show graph and table.

Variable Screen for BEx Web ( Changing "Save As" to "Save Variable")

A cosmetic change...on the Variable Entry screen we have a button to save variant defaulted to the text "Save As". As our needs, the text on the button needs to be changed to "Save Variable".
Any possiblities...??
Thanks in advance...
Maci

Hi Maci,
Unfortunatly there is no possibility to change the entries in the standard variable screen. The only thing you could change here is the format (eg. colour) by using the theme editor.
Best regards,

Variable assignment in BEx Broadcaster

I'm trying to broadcast a web template directly from the Broadcaster, and want to assign variables. I've tried Determine from Variant, and it works like a charm.
As I understand it I should be able to enter the variables manually by using Determine Here, but it doesn't seem to work for me.
I choose VAR_01 from the Name dropdown, and click Create. Then I can enter my variables, and then what? If I click OK the report is generated in the same popup window, and from there I can do nothing but close the window, and the variables are not assigned.
Can somebody help. Am I doing something wrong, is it a bug or have I simply misunderstood everything?

Jacob,
I have the same issue after I applied SP13 but I did not have this problem in SP11.
Please let me, [email protected], know if you have a solution for this? Thanks.

BEx Analyzer 3.x after 2004S Upgrade - Variable Screen

The variable screen has changed when using BEx Analyzer 3.x after upgrading to 2004S. Is there an option to go back to the original version? We are doing a "technical upgrade only" this weekend to our production system and did not want to impact our users in any way at this time. There was a thread that started out asking about this issue but then switched to discussions about the Query Designer and the variable screen question was never answered.
Thank you for your help.

Yes, I can access RRMX. However our users cannot. They log on through Citrix directly to BEx Analyzer 3.x. When I use transaction RRMX, it takes me to BEx Analyzer 2004S.
Is there any way for our users to access the old variable screen using BEx Analyzer 3.x? And if not, is there any documentation anywhere on the new variable screen that is being used for 3.x after technically upgrading to 2004S?
Thank you -
Ann

Problem in Variable screen selection

Hello Expert,
I am facing problem in the variable screen of Bex Query.
There is a variable created for 0FISCPER info object which populates data through customer exit. When i execute the query and "check" i get the following output
here we can see that corresponding month is displayed for the fiscal year variable
I have another query which uses the same variable but get the following output
here we can see that the month descripton is not displayed in the second query. Could you please help in resolving the issue
Regards
Vilas Kamath

Hi Vilas,
Purpose of the customer exit code is to extract the value only, it has no relation with the text of it. The description comes from the info object text data.
I noticed a small difference - "Fiscal Fear/Period" and "Fiscal year / period", normally info object have their decription in the query like defined in BW unless it has been changed specifically. If the both variables are on different info object related to month/period. If yes, then please check the text values of corresponding months in the info objects.

Changing a variable in variable screen

Hey everybody,
i have a question for variable screen in Bex Analyzer 3.5 in BI 7.0.
Is it possible to change a variable in variable screen depending the input of an other variable?
I know how to change it bevor popup and after popup.
But i want to change the date of a hierarchy-variable depending of the values entered of two other variables. so, as soon as the variable of date or month is changed, i would like to match the hierarchy-date of a variable.
Anybody an idea?

Hey Vikash,
thanks for the link, but I quess, that doesn't help. We have allready a keydate-userexit-variable, that is filled after popup (i_step=2). I Know how to do ist also bevor popup (i_step=1).
What I need is to change a variable "during" popup. That means, the variable screen is open, and the user enters variable number 1. As soon as he did an input, I want to react on this "event" and change a other variable. (In our case, a hiararchydate, so that he can choose from the right hiararchy).
I read that the variable screen of Bex 3.5 in BI 7.0 has an other technoloy than in before. (Html-Based). I hoped that there is a new chance of working whitch the variables in Bex.
I little example.
the variables screen pops up with some default value:
year (2008)
month (12)
ConsolidationUnit ( )
(hierarchyVariable with keydate 31.12.2008 when you open F4-Screen)
now, the user changes the first variable into year 2009 an presses enter, but he don't execute the query yet, because he wants to choose a consolidationunit first.
In this moment, i whant to change the Keydate from Consolidationunit-variable
year(2009)
month(12)
ConsolidationUnit
(HierarchyVariable with keydate 31.12.2009 when you open F4-Screen)
The consunit he wants to choose is not available in Hierarchy from 2008.
Thats our Problem.
I want to avoid, that the user has to type in an other variable for keydate of the hiearchy. because the keydate depends on the other entered time-variables.
Hope, that this is comprehendible. I try to realize somekind of an interaction between variables in the screen.
Kind regards,
Amina

BEx Broadcaster configuration - maximum number of cells in result set

Hi all,
I've got an error message when runnig a BEx Broadcaster setting to send query output as xls file.
Query was running, but empty xls sheet was sent.
Message was: result set to large (1.5 Mio cells); data retrieval restricted by configuration (maximum 1 Mio cells).
How can this configuration be changed to enable 1.5 Mio cells ?
Many thanks
Andreas

This is excel restriction for maximum of 1million cells. If you split the query with smaller results set lesser than 1 million cells, this error will not come.

Broadcasting fails with more than X variables in variable screen

Hi all,
We have a few reports which have a variable screen with 10+ variables, mostly 3 mandatory and the rest is optional.
Normally a pop-up appears in which you can select which type (HTML, PDF, Portal etc.) and fill in the recipients. But for the reports I'm talking about, the pop-up stays blank or give an error "page not found"
First I thought it was an iView setting but I've compared all iviews and the settings are all the same.
Then I thought the webtemplates could have wrong parameters, but the LAUNCH_BROADCASTER settings are the same for 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN and custom templates.
Now I'm testing at query level and I found out that when I cut some optional variables, at some point it works and I'll get the pop-up I want.
So I wonder if there's a restriction in the maximum number of variables in the variable screen, which has impact on broadcasting? In one query it fails with 11 or more variables, but in another query it fails with 13 variables. It doesn't matter which variable I erase, as long as I stay under the mentioned number of variables, the broadcaster works for that query.
Is there a parameter or something which can be set?
We are on:
BW 7.31 SP9.30
Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Daan Boon

There is nothing restriction on no. of Query Variables while broadcasting. There is something else which causes this strange behavior. Can you update your BEx GUI to latest Patches?

Variable string "VAR_01" is not filled - BEX Broadcasting - General precal

Hello BEX guru,
When trying to use BEX broadcasting ->General precalculation (trying to precalculate liket the old reporting agent), i am getting this error. However, once going to the "Variable Values" to create I am getting the "BEX web Analysis" screen with prompt to "new analysis, open, save as...tab". I've tried using RSRT and create a global variable for one of my query that has the variable prompt but still nothing. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
HarryT

Hi,
For the webtemplate, create a global variant. This variant you can use it the precalculation.

Bex Broadcaster can't click past OK in variable assignement

Hi All,
Form the portal Broadcast settings in general precalculation settings when I try to change variable values selection from that actual screen I can't click past ok after selecting the variable.
we are BW 7.02 and on IE8
from reading some posts on SDN i have already tried and I have turned of SmartScreen Filter off/ Phising filter off and also looked at note
1498753 - Variable screen not closed in Bex Broadcaster, but this has not resolved our issue.
has anyone else faced a similar issue
Thanks
Forhad

Thank you for your suggestion. I want to make sure I understand you correctly so I have a few questions.
Is this transparent table that you are using in your BW system or in your ECC system? Our BW and ECC systems are on different machines using different databases. Do you load the data from this table into your BW system for this to work? I think I understand that you are creating a way to create the missing master data so the BEX 7 query does not give the error message allowing the user to input their range of values.
If I understand you correctly I would create my Z table in our ECC system with the fields you mentioned, create a DSO or something simple in our BW system and load the data each time a user wants to use a new range of values for the field so that the field's master data would exist.
Am I understanding you correctly?
I don't think this solution, if I am understanding it correctly, will work for us because I don't think I can just add new Vendor Numbers like you were able to do with a date field. The Vendor is tied to a lot of other things, master data, ...
Thanks,
Jeri
