Explain replacement path in variables. ,

hi this is ramireddy.

Hi ram,
18. U check the data in the cube using manage option.
19. When you find some records missing when deltas are running then instead of going for re-init and again deltas you can go for repair full request giving selection conditions for those missing records, without affecting your delta laods
In Infopackage manage screen in menu bar you have the option to mark the request as repair full request and then you will have selection criteria also in IP.
20. when one infoobject depends on other infoobject then we go for compounding ex : 0sourcesystem
21.variableoffset: with variableoffsets u can get data of previous months & next months data from the current data.
example:if u have six months data in cube.
now create variable for 0calmonth.
take offset value as-2&+2.then it gives u previous 2months data andnext 2month data from the current month.
suppose if u enter 2005 as current month then it for specifying variable offsets it displays 2003&2007 data also.
22.replacement path is used for trending reports.

Need some clarification on Replacement Path with Variable

Hello Experts,
Need some clarification on Replacement Path with Variable.
We have 2 options with replacement path for characteristic variables i.e.
1) Replace with query
2) Replace with variable.
Now, when we use "Replace with variable" we give the variable name. Then we get a list for "Replace with" as follows:
1) Key
2) External Characteristic Value Key
3)Label
4)Attribute value.
I need detailed explanation for the above mentioned 4 options with scenarios.
Thanks in advance.

About Replacement Path, Text Variables & Cusomer Exit?

Hi
Please explain along with examples youwhen we use Replacement Path
                                               Text Variables and
                                               Customer Exit
Please search the forum before posting a thread
Edited by: Pravender on Apr 18, 2011 3:48 PM

Hi,
1. Customer EXIT :
Business Scenario:
The business department wants to check if the orders from the customers for a certain week (e.g. 6 weeks from now) are already transmitted into their system. Therefore they run a report with a variable, that is calculated automatically.
Note: Of course this is not the only suitable solution, but it will show you how the exit works.
Step by Step Solution:
A.You should create a variable on the info object 0CALWEEK like this:
1.Technical Name: WS_FWEEK
2.Description: Workshop Future Week
3 Interval
5.Mandatory variable entry
6.Processing: Customer Exit
7.NOT ready for input
B.Call transaction CMOD for the definition of the customer exit.
C.Create a new project, maintain the short text and assign a development class.
D.Go to Enhancement Assignments and assign RSR00001. Press the button components to continue.
E.Double-click on EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001.
F.For documentation place the cursor an RSR00001 and use the menu GoTo => Display documentation.
G.Then double-click on ZXRSRU01.
H. If the include does not exist, you have to create it; assign a development class and a transport request
Enter this code:
INCLUDE ZXRSRU01                                        *
data: l_idx like sy-tabix,
        workdate(8) type d,
        futureweek(6) type c.
DATA: L_S_RANGE TYPE RSR_S_RAGESID.
case I_vnam.
when u2018WS_FWEEKu2019.
if i_step = 2          u201C after pop-up
Calculate Current day plus 6 weeks:
workdate = sy-datum + 42 .
Calculate the week of this day
CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_GET_WEEK'
    EXPORTING
      DATE               = workdate
    IMPORTING
     WEEK               = futureweek
EXCEPTIONS
DATE_INVALID       = 1
OTHERS             = 2
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
l_s_range-low = futureweek.
l_s_range-high =
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-option = 'EQ'.
append l_s_range to l_t_range.
p_subrc = 0.
ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
I.Save and activate the codie
J.Activate the project. (Very important!)
K. Define a query using the above created variable.
L.For displaying the variable values in the executed query you also may define two text variables. These should, if necessary, be able to show the lower and the upper value calculated by the customer exit.
2 Replacement Path :
Example for filling variable values depending on an other variable /
Deriving one variable value from another variable
Business scenario.
A query should show in one column the value for one period. The period should be entered by the user. In the second column the accumulated vale from the beginning of the year to the period of the first column should be displayed. The InfoCube contains only the InfoObject 0CALMONTH (Month/Year) and not single InfoObjects for period and year.
Solution:
For this scenario we need four variables: two variables for the column text and two variables for the period values. One of these period variables is defined as a variable with a customer exit
Step by Step Solution:
Create an input variable u201CMONTHu201D (you need this specific information for the coding example below). The variable is based on the InfoObject 0CALMONTH. Set the following attributes:
Single Value
Ready for input
Mandatory variable entry
Create a variable u201CCUMMONTHu201D (you need this specific information for the coding example below) with a customer exit as a processing type. The variable is based on the InfoObject 0CALMONTH. Set the following attributes:
Interval
NOT ready for input!
Mandatory variable entry
Create two text variables. Both variables use the u201CReplacement Pathu201D as processing type. The first text variable is filled with the text from the u201Cfrom valueu201D. The second is filled with the text from the u201Cto valueu201D.
Enter this code
INCLUDE ZXRSRU01                                        *
DATA: L_S_RANGE TYPE RSR_S_RAGESID.
DATA: LOC_VAR_RANGE LIKE RRRANGEEXIT.
case I_vnam.
when u2018CUMMONTHu2019.
if i_step = 2          u201C after pop-up
LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
          WHERE VNAM = u2018MONTHu2019.
     CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
l_t_range-low = loc_var_range(4). u201Cgetting current year
l_t_range-low+4(2) = u201801u2019 u201Csetting 1st period in cur. year
l_t_range-high = loc_var_range-low u201Chigh value=input value
l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
l_t_range-option = 'BT'.
append l_s_range to e_t_range.
exit.
endloop.
endif.
endcase.
Save and activate the code.
Activate the project.
Define a query containing all the variables.

Replacement path in Variables?

What is replacement path in reporting?

Hi,
There are many scenarios where we use Processing type as "replacement path".
lets take one example for Formula Variable Replacement Path..
we have a material price(KF) as display attribute of material. i.e. material price as KeyFigure attribute.
now u need perform some calculations on material price...for this u rght clcik on u r KF structure --->new formula...but there only formula variables and keyfigures are available for calculations...eventhough matearial price is a Kf but it has been defined as attribute of a characteristic..so its not available for calculations...
now go with?new formula variable->choose processing type as "replacement path">next->choose characteristc as "material"->next-> replace variable with as " attribute"->next>selct 'material price" from drop down menu.....
now u have material price formula variable...drag and drop this matraial price into formula window and use it in calculations....
Hope This Helps,
Regards,
rik

Replacement Path Formula variable

Hi
I have a doubt regarding formula variables created using Replacement Path .
Suppose I create such variable on some characteristic say A then what will be the value in the variable when the value of characteristic A is '#' ? Will it be 0 or something else?
Also what will be the value in the formula variable when A is not equal to # and has some value in it?
Thanks,
Ninad

For formula variable # will be 0.
Other values are truncated based on your offset start and end of your ref char.
Hope this helps.

Replacement Path - Variables

Dear Experts,
I am new to Bi(experienced in ABAP), so please do explain in Laymans language.
I have already gone through Help and SAP PDF Documents.
1. Can anyone explain me the Replacement Path Clearly with very simple exmaple.
Regards
BI Learner.

Hi,
Characteristic Replacement Path Variable - Let us assume that there is a requirement that Query2 should be executed for all those materials which are present in the output of query1 (query1 might be using some conditions or anything else). In this scenario, we will create a replacment path variable on Material for Query2 which will read Material Values for Query1 output.
In another case, replacement path variable can also be created to read value from another variable. For example, we are using a user input variable (V1) for Calendar Year/Month in a query and we need to get the year from this variable. For this, we will create a replacement path variable on Calendar Year which will get the value of Calendar Year/Month from V1 and using offset will give us the year value.
Formula variable using replacement path - here is an classical example where we can use replacement path formula variable. Let us say we need to pick up standard price of a material from Material Maste data and use it for some calculation in query. In this case, we will create a formula variable type replacement path which will get the attribute value (Price) from Material master data.
I hope that gives you some understanding of Replacement Path Variables.

Gaurav

Variable with Replacement Path

Hi, I have two queries. The results of the first one should be the input for the second one. E.g. the first query shows a list of personnel numbers and additional information. These personnel numbers shall be overtaken by the second query. The personnel numbers belong to "Dimensions" in the Query Designer. I alread tried to create a variable with replacement path to the dimension personnel number. I implementet this variable in both the first and the second query (under: "rows"). It`s no "Formular variable" and no "Calculated Key Figure" but a "Characteristic Value Variable" of a Dimension. The problem is now that I cannot execute any of the two queries. The error "Abort the query cannot be released for OLE DB for OLAP. System error in programm CL_RSR_REQUEST and form PREPARE_VQUERIES:INVALID_
What is my mistake? Thank you in advance! Eve

Hi Eve,
It is possible to connect the 2 queries using a Replacement Path characteristic variable. You would need to create the variable on the char whose values you want to pass from Q1 to Q2. The variable will be of type replacement path and you will need to enter the name of Q1 from which it will get the values. Make sure that you include this char in the query definition of Q1 and Q2. In Q2 you will restrict the characteristic using this variable. DO not use this variable (replacement path) in Q1.
In your query properties check if you have turned on the checkmark for Release for OLE DB for OLAP (3rd tab). If the check mark is there, then remove it.
We are using the scenario in a couple of places, and it works very well.
Hope this helps...

Creating Variable with Replacement Path to get value from ANOTHER Variable

Hi all,
    Is anyone has created the Variable with Replacement Path to get the value from another User Entry Variable, PLEASE ?
First created the User Entry Variable (ZV_X) and it accepts the date range like '01/01/2009 - 01/31/2009'. Next created the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path for which source variable will be ZV_X and we should get the 'FROM Date' (01/01/2009) from the selection (ZV_X) into it (ZV_Y).
While creating the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path, I didn't find my newly created ZV_X variable in the list of available variables under 'Variable' header in 'Replacement Path' tab and it is causing the error 'Source to replace variable ZV_Y is not defined'. How could I create the Characteristic variable of Replacement Path for my requirement, PLEASE ?
The following is from help.sap..com:
Replace with Characteristic Value
Text and formula variables with the processing type Replacement Path can be replaced with a corresponding characteristic value. In the variable editor, on the General tab page, you specify under Reference Characteristic the characteristic that is to be referenced by the replacement. On the Replacement Path tab page, you can choose whether the variable is replaced with the From or the To Value and with the Key or the Name of the characteristic value. You can also specify the Offset Start and Offset Length for the output.
Replace with Variable
Characteristic value variables, hierarchy variables, text variables, and formula variables with the Replacement Path processing type can take their values from a different variable.
The following prerequisites need to be fulfilled:
Variable
●      The variable must not be input-ready
●      The variable must represent a single value
Source Variable
●      The source variable must not be a hierarchy node variable
●      The source variable must be input-ready
●      The source variable must be available in the query
●      The source variable must represent a single value or an interval
In the variable editor, on the Replacement Path tab page, you specify the source variable from which the value is to be determined. The value is either determined from the key, the external attribute of the key, the description, or the attribute value. You can specify an Offset Start and an Offset Length for the output here. The variable is replaced on the variable screen upon each data release.
Thanks,
Venkat.

Formula variable with replacement path to another input variable

Hi @ all,
i have a question regarding "Formula variable with replacement path to another input variable".
My Problem is that in selection screen and for info-fields the input variable is shown with its key and not with its description.
Scenario:
A formula variable (X) is used to get an input value of a characteristic variable (Y) for 0Fiscper3 to realize a IF-Then scenario.
The formula variable (X) uses replacement path by variable (Y) replace by "key".
In selection screen of the query variable (Y) is named with its key "ZAB_BUPE01" and not with its description " fiscal period". Same as for info-fields where the description is "ZAB_BUPE01" and not " fiscal period".
Does anybody have a solution to display the selection variable correctly?
Regards
Tobias

Issue Solved!
The input varaible (y) for 0Fiscper3 was saved globally on the InfoProvider. This results in that the formula variable with replacement path only shows its technical name. I put the input variable in the query itself and it soved the problem. The variable is displayed with its description in selection screen.

Date formula variable with replacement path.

Hi ,
I have date formula variable with replacement path.
Variable pop up with date format yyyymmdd. but i want dd.mm.yyyy.
I have checked my user profile setting and it is dd.mm.yyyy.
Can u please suggest it .
Thanks
Pramod

Thanks for the rely , but basically i need a variable only for selection.
thats why i have created formula variable processing my cutomer exit.
But i think customre exit variable comes with text format .
any1 has an idea for the same.
Thanks

Error when using replacement path variable in exception range

I'm trying produce a check report that produces exception highlighting based on a range determined by the associated characteristic.
eg.
For Check 1, highlight cells in red where the associated key figure is between 1 and 999.
For Check 2, highlight cells in amber where the associated key figure is between -999 and -1.
Now, I know that the lower and upper limit of an exception can be populated by a formula variable. However, when I create a formula variable that uses a replacement path to fetch the limit values from the associated Check and use that in the exception, the query errors when I try to run it:
System Error: 'Variable name ( technical name ) does not exist or is incorrectly used 4 New Exception.'
The error long text suggests that the variable is being used incorrectly, even though it says for Formula variables:
... can be used in all cases. Note: Formula variables can have units or be without them. Incorrect use can also arise here since the system always calculates in accordance with the units. Formula variables can also be used to create the upper and lower limits in exceptions.
In this case, the formula variable does not have units.
Interestingly, but equally unhelpfully, if a regular constant is used instead of a formula variable for the lower limit, but a formula variable is still used for the upper limit, the error message changes to:
System error in program SAPLRRI2 and form FAC_VAR_IN_VREP_INSERT-1-
The query works if the formula variable simply holds a default value, so the problem clearly appears to be with replacement path. If BEx doesn't support replacement path formula variables in exceptions, then aside from the fact that it would be useful if that was stated in the errors, what alternatives, if any, deliver the functionality of exception ranges that change depending on the corresponding characteristic.

I put in the curly brackets so my formula now reads
"Total inquiries for " + {CnAttrCat_1.CnAttrCat_1_Description} + ": " + ToText({@InquiryTypeSubtotal})
Now when I check the formula I get the error message "This field name is not known."

Formula variable in replacement path is showing N/A

Hi,
I have a DATE characteristic which I want to add as key figure in my query.
I created replacement path formula variable for it but I can only see N/A in the report.
I checked the cube and there is data for the date characteristics.
any idea how I can resolve this.
thanks

Hi,
I understand, I said just check that...have you checked, this works or not?
you can go to display properties of that charcteristic and say hide.
If this works then u can hide it and keep it in query...
