F4 help on Bex query selection screen

Hi,
On the selection screen of a particular field of Bex query , if the user selects F4 help (input value help), typically it picks up all values in the infoprovider for that field.
Is there any way to retrict those values.
Eg : Cube has values A, B , C for field A .
When the user selects value help on field A of the Bex query written on the cube, the requirement is to show only A and B.
thanks.

Hi,
We do this in our project:
you can use BW Reporting Variable type Auth Exit.
In the Step 0, you define what are allowed for that user. It will then automatically show only auth.zed values.

F4 search-help in infoset query selection-screen fields

Hi all,
I created an infoset, and it's corresponding query, and now I need to associate F4 search-help in two of the selection-screen fields. Since they don't have any reference field associated (they are SAP standard table fields), there are no possible values available to select.
How can I do this?
I have already tried to use the "AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT" in the infoset, but I'm not able to do that. When I try to use the select-options generated by the query (SP$00013 and SP$00014) I have a syntax error with "Field not known".
Can you help me? I never done this before, so I really don't have a guess.
Thanks in advance.
Beste regards,
Sónia Gonçalves

Hi all,
I have found thread that helped me a lot in this issue.
I just have one more doubt: I created the selection criterion and I can already see it in the query selection-screen, but it's appearing in the top of the selection-screen, in a different area called "General data selections".
Isn't it possible to include it in the "Report-specific selctions"?
Thanks in advance.

BEx query selection screen takes long time to popup

Hi,
I have a query which is taking long time to popup the selection screen. I have tried in RSRT the generate report option, the generating report takes 45 to 60 mins. After the report is generated the query selection screen comes up in couple of seconds. The first time I run the query everything its fine but then for the second time the problem comes back again.
The selection screen takes +/- 40 mins to comes up in RSRT and in the portal it times out.
I have run the statistics of the query and according to the statistics report the query takes a lot of time for the following component :
OLAP: Query Gen. 2681,312682
I have removed the query from the cache monitor and after that regenerate the report. But these steps didnu2019t solve my problem.
I made two test queries, in one query I have made the CKFu2019s and RKFu2019s directly at the infoprovider, and dragged and dropped in the KF structure. In the other query I made the CKFu2019s and RKFu2019s in the query KF structure itself. The query where I have the CKFu2019s and RKFu2019s at the infoprovider that query times out, the other query where I put the CKFu2019s and RKFu2019s in the query KF structure doesn't has this performance problem.
What I donu2019t know is why the query is failing when I use RKFu2019s and CKFu2019s from the infoprovider, the other query donu2019t have this problem.
Please advise how to proceed.
Thanks in advance,
Arash

Hi,
Please check the following notes which should be useful.
1387593 - Performance optimization for query change/generation
1416737 - Performance optimization for query change/generation(2)
1396485 - Performance optimization for query check/save
Then please execute the SE38 report ANALYZE_RSZ_TABLES (see notes

Missing parameters on Bex query selection screen

Hi,
we are using BW3.5 (support pack 18) and one of our users has created a number of variants for a particular query which he executes via the Bex Analyser. The problem is, when ever he runs this query now, all the fields that he populated in his variants no longer appear on his selection screen - even if we delete all the variants.
He did not choose to hide any fields (in the variant) and he has not set any personal values in personalisation.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks,
John.

Hi Ozan.
Thanks for your reply however my problem was that the fields were no longer displayed on the selection screen thus there was no buttons to select for the personalisation settings therefore no way to turn off the personalisation.
However I discovered that if I executed the query using transaction RSRT the full selection screen was displayed and I could access the personalisation buttons for the parameters that had personalisation.
Thanks anyway.

Sort the values in Bex query variable screen

Dear Experts,
Is it possible to sort the values of a dropdown list for variables on BEX variable selection screen ?
For example, For calender month selection, the values are by default sorted by ascending order.
Is it possible to sort by descending order ?
Regards,
ravindra

Hi Ravindra,
yeah it is possible by writing an abap code for the field calmonth/week...etc this is depends on the F4 help of the selection field. so you need to write a code for F4 help for making it in descending order. hope it helps.
Thanks,
Vachan

Query Selection Screen restriction

Hello All,
In my query selection screen, i have date, month and week as selection parameters. Now my requirement is that user should select only one of them. If he selects more than one ie combination of two or all three, than query should not show any data.
Can this be achieved? If yes how.
Regds,

Hi,
You can try out, customer exit with I_STEP = 3.
using which a exception will be raised if user enters value for more than one variable.
Hope it helps......

Query Selection Screen does not appear in Web Analyzer

Hi Experts,
Query Selection Screen appears when we open the query in Bex Analayzer in production system. But when we open the query in ABAP or JAVA Web view, the selection screen does not appears.
As the volume of data in the cube is very high, and since the selection screen is not appearing, the query extracts 1.5Mrecords and results in dump.
Kindly let me know the possibility for selection screen not appearing.
Note: The selection screen appear in Development system in Bex Analyzer, ABAP View and Java View
Regards
Suresh Kumar

Dear Suresh,
You can check if the parameter &VARIABLE_SCREEN=X is added to standard template or not, If not add this,
In order to add this parameter in the webtemplate you have to change 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN and save it as ZANALYSIS_PATTERN and enter this standard web template under TCODE RSCUSTV27.
Also I would like to explain you the behavior of Web Analyzer,
Parameter VARIABLE_SCREEN=X only influences the WEB application at startup. This will not come into affect
when you use the 'New Analysis' button. The 'New Analysis' button resets the dataprovider so this would not
affect the variable screen and would not redisplay the variable screen as you require.

Unable to Upload data from text file into BEx Analyzer selection screen

Hi,
No response from BEx Analyzer when I am trying to upload around 40,000 material from text file into BEx Analyzer selection screen using "Upload selections" options.

Please let me know I have to change any settings related to BEx or any other.
Thanks

Hello
It seems you are reaching the .NET memory limitation informed in note 1040454.
Because 3.5 does not use .NET it can work that.

If these check boxes are the fields in the table you are using then you can do it in SQ01, otherwise you may required to make the changes in the standard code generated for that query.
You can find the name of the generated program of the query when you execute the query.

Query Selection screen field validatoin

I am testing a query using the RSRT2 transaction and have a query selection screen whose fields i want to create custom validations for. ( which should trigger when check or execute is pressed )
How can this be achieved ?
I tried looking for exits but did not find a relevant one.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You need to write a routine in SMOD for selection screen validations.
It will come in i_step = 3. please refer foll code as example:
The code example is to check whether date is less than or equal to current date. If user enters future date it pop ups saying enter date less than or equal to current date.
DATA: LI_VAR like rrrangeexit,
       wa_t_var_range like LI_VAR,
       count type i value 0.
IF i_s_rkb1d-infocube EQ 'CUBE1' or
   i_s_rkb1d-infocube EQ 'CUBE2'.
Check whether only one of date variable is entered in variable screen.
IF I_STEP = 3.
    Read table i_t_var_range into wa_t_var_range with key vnam = 'VARDATE'.
      if wa_t_var_range-low > sy-datum.
        CALL FUNCTION 'RRMS_MESSAGE_HANDLING'
          EXPORTING
            I_CLASS = 'RSBBS'
            I_TYPE   = 'E'
            I_NUMBER = '000'
            I_MSGV1 = 'Enter date less than or equal to current date'.
        raise again.
      endif.

Sorting Currency conversion Variables in Query Selection screen

Hi Experts,
I have an issue in sorting variables.
A Currency translation is used here which has two selection options here, one for "Currency" and one for "Currency conversion date". They just pop in somewhere in the selection screen with out order. I want to put them together either in the middle or at the bottom.
They are not visible in the Variable sequence tab of query properties.
I changed the text for each of them (Ex. "XCurrency"), so that it sorts alphabetically, but no difference.
Had anybody come accross this issue before.
regards
G Rai

Hi,
This seems strange that the variable does not show in the query properties. One thing I can suggest it to try changing the technical name/desciption of the variable if that changes the order.
Please update back the thread if that helps.

Validate plants selected in Abap Query selection screen

Hi Everyone,
I have a requirement wherein i have to validate 'authority check' for the plants populated in the selection screen in an already created abap query.
I tried adding code in the code section. But i dont know how to use the select-option parameter. It already exists(VBAP-WERKS) in the table which is used for join, so i cannot add it in the additional fields. Am i correct ?
Also, i saw that the report program for this query uses this parameter sa SP$00008. I tried using it but it gives an error The IN operator with "SP$00008" is followed neither by an internal table nor by a value list.
Please help.
Also, please advice whether this requirement can be catered in this query alone? or should i go with writing a new report program for this? ( i personally feel that this would beat the purpose of using Abap Query. )
Regards,
Tarun

Hi Tarun,
I am still not clear with the problem..I guess you require plant in your selection screen which you have.
i guess if you go to sq01tcode there is a option infoset query from where you can give your selection options and value.
have you selected all the fields in infoset and made a selection screen?
When you have done with your infoset you just need to diplay the fields and there is a automatic program generated.
Let me know...
Regards,
Nihkil.

Query Selection Screen in Report Designer/WAD

Hi Gurus,
Please help. Iam try to copy two BEx queries into one report using Report Designer & Web Application Designer. Iam sucessfull in it, however when I execute the report either by report designer or WAD, the report does not populate the selection screen, it just gives you the output of the two queires into one page. Is there a pre-settings we need to perform to get the selection screen for each of this report?
Thanks!

Hi,
Front-end upgrade will not help in this case. This feature "Display Variable Screen [VARIABLE_SCREEN]" was introduced in SP8 backend. You need SP8 backend to be able to use it.
You will find this setting in "Properties" -> "Web Template" (in combo box) -> "Web Template Parameters" -> "Behaviour" -> "Display Variable Screen"
This setting is defined in metadata and required an implementation on Java side (also SP8 required)
