Filter Button on NW2004s queries

Hi
When executing the queries in NW2004s front end the output generated in different to the 3.5 output.
How can the "filter" button be replaced so that all the selection criteria are displayed as soon as the query is generated.
Issue is users execute a query for a particular period, once the query is generated there is no where to check the period the query ran for?
In 3.5 the filter area displays all the selection criteria chosen. How can this be achieved in 7.0 (NW2004s).
Generous points will be awarded for helpful solution.
Thanks,
Jasmine

I am not clear on what you mean when you refer to "selection criteria"
Are you refering to filters in the query or variable values selected by the user?
Anyway, here are a few points to consider.
If you have user input variables or default variable values you can set the web templates parameters to froce the variable screen, so that the user can see all the variables especially if they have default values.
Include the Info Field item and set this to have any of the following poperties that you would like the uer to display.
With a tray. Open or closed.
Headers Visible
Static Filter values
General Text Elements
Dynamic Filters
Display variable.
This should give the users all the information on the report that they require.
I hope this helps.
Cheers
Ian

Error in Bex Analyzer including the filter button command in Callback macro

Hello,
I have the following problem with the function filter button in the Bex Analyzer included in the callback macro:
Because of using 2 hierarchies in the filter the setting drill down to level 2 in the query gives no right output in the Bex Analyzer. The drill down level 2 is not shown. SAP recommends the include of a filter button to solve this problem. With a filter button in the sheet the problem was solved.
But after including the filter button command in the callback macro I get an error in MS Excel.
The callback macro starts, the filter was set by the user and the data was refreshed. Because of the refreshing of the filter the callback function the callback function starts several times. After setting the filter the first time, the following macro avoids the several starting of the set filter function:
Sub CallBack(ParamArray varname())
On Error GoTo err_handler
   Dim lRange As Range
   Set lRange = varname(1)
'Filter entfernend/delete filter
Dim ZeichenFilter As Long
ZeichenFilter = Len(Sheet4.Cells(41, 3).Value)
Dim Filter1 As String, Filter2 As String
Filter1 = Left(Sheet4.Cells(28, 3), ZeichenFilter)
Filter2 = Left(Sheet4.Cells(41, 3).Value, ZeichenFilter)
If Filter1 <> Filter2 And Filter2 <> "" Then
    onAction = True
    onAction = False
End If
'Filter setzen mit einmaligem durchlaufen/set filter and run one time
If onAction = False Then
    onAction = True
    Call Sheet4.BUTTON_55_Click
    onAction = False
End If
exit_handler:
    Exit Sub
err_handler:
    MsgBox Err.Description, vbOKOnly, "Error in " & " setMusterSub"
    Resume exit_handler
End Sub
After the filter was set the callback macro starts the second time. Then the Bex Analyzer erros with the sandglass. The working on VBA is possible, but not the working with Bex Analyer . Values in Excel werent shown.
How can I avoid this error?

Once I am adding VAR_VALUE_1 to the static parameters, the system generates two messages error:
Program error in class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
System error in program SAPLRRS2 and form GET_SID-1

Test Report button on report queries

Does anyone know the code/javascript/url behind the test report button on report queries component?
We are having DSN problems using the print url given on the report query. The URL works for some of our developers and not for others.
The test report button on the report query appears to work for everyone but I do not know what is behind the "Test Report" button. If I could recreate the test report button on our page this would be GREAT!
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Frank

Chart and filter button missing

when I insert a query in a workbook the chart and filter button are missing. We are using netweaver 2004s. is there a way to have them display?

Hi LMM,
There are 2 ways to create workbooks:
1) create a workbook in Excel (create new workbook in Excel thus not via the GUI), insert a query using the Bex analyzer and save using the Bex analyzer.
2) create a query using Bex analyzer, execute the query, save as workbook using Bex analyzer
Option 2) will have the chart and filter buttons.
Option 1) will not have these options.
Assuming you created the workbook using option 1), please recreate the workbook using option 2).
You should now have the chart and filter options.
Please assign points of this solved your problem,
Best Regards,
Filip

Filter button on second query in workbook

I'm using BEx 7.10. I have a workbook that I added a second query to by inserting a worksheet and inserting an Analysis Grid. That all works fine. Is there a way to add the "Filter" and "Information" buttons to this second worksheet? I tried to just copy and paste from the first worksheet, but they don't work.

That is what I tried to do at first. But it's an excel function to copy the sheet. You can't even get into design view to change the data provider. So I added a new design grid and navagation pane. I could then change the data provider but for the navagation pane (which controls the Filter button) whatever change I made also changed the original worksheet. So this didn't work out too well. Is the filter button workbook specific, meaning you can only have one, can't have one on each sheet? And how is macro or VB code attached to that button?

Accelerator available for the Apply Filter button

Is there a shortcut (accelerator) available for the apply filter button in the connections tab. We have lots of tables, stored procedures etc and I am always using the filter to limit the entries shown. Would be great if there was a function key to do this.

I think its the expcted behaviour since its not been handled by the ADF framework.
See this link on how to achieve this -

How to add a filter in multiple BEx queries at once

Hello everybody,
my requirement is to add a generic filter (characteristic restriction) in more than 30 BEx queries. Instead of adding the filter in each query one by one with query designer, I was wondering if there is a tool (eg. a transaction or a query designer function) that can add this filter to all desired queries at once.
Does anybody know if such tool exists??
Thanks very much,
Andrea

Hi,
I think it is not possible. if your all query on one info provider, then you can make filter reusable for info provider and use it when you are creating query again on that info provider.
First, Restrict characteristics in filter as per your requirement and then right click on it and click on save as - give description and technical name. then save it. now filter is reusable

Filter button doesn't work after changing worksheet name

I am using Bex 7.10. I have a workbook with 2 queries. I want to change the name on the Tab for each sheet but when I do that the Filter and Information buttons no longer work. Is there a way to do this?

Check in the Design mode and right click on the Filter tab and check do you see all the filters listed?
If not you can reinsert the query to a new workbook and try.

ALV grid, prevent return to line 1 column 1 after using filter button

How can I prevent the ALV grid display from returning to line 1, column 1, after a user has modified the display using the filter or sort button ? I know this is possible using the is_stable field when control is passed to my ALV code, but when the automatic on-screen buttons are used I can't find a way of controlling how the screen is displayed.

Max,
Thanks, the AFTER_USER_COMMAND event allows me access after the filter or sort button has bee npressed, but I am unable to prevent the grid from reverting to column1 line1. By using the method GET_CURRENT_CELL I can find out the column, but it does not return me the row. I have tried putting this column id into SET_CURRENT_CELL_VIA_ID, as suggested by Naimesh above, and calling this from the AFTER_USER_COMMAND method, but it does not effect how the grid displays.
Any further advice would be very welcome.

WAD - Exclude more than one value with filter button

Hi guys
I have been working on a web template with a button to set a filter to exclude two values. E.g. I want to exclude both the values '28' and '30' from the dataprovider.
What I have done is insert a button group item, create a button with the command SET_SELECTION_STATE_SIMPLE to exclude '28' as command 1 and SET_SELECTION_STATE_SIMPLE to exclude '30' as command 2. This does however not give me the correct result, as it only excludes '30' as set in command 2. So the conclusion must be that SET_SELECTION_STATE_SIMPLE can not be used, as it will only work with one value.
So I went on and tried with SET_SELECTION_STATE which gives the possibility to choose more than one filter value. However it does not seem possible to exclude values with this command?
Is it not possible to exclude two filter values with a button in a BI 7.x web template?
BR
Stefan.

Dear Frank
I did it as like as the following link lead me:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe11jdev/11/adfbc_new_features/adfbc.html
The problem has been appeared when I attached the "Create" button and when press on it to create new record, then the "LOV" couldn't work correctly.
Thanks for your reply

Filter button in Bex Excel

In the Bex Excel, I'm trying to filter values of dataprovider DP_1 with multiple single values.
The following filter only works for one value (the last in the list of values : COSTCTR2)
FILTER_COLLAPS      |      1     |
FILTER_IOBJNM          |     1     | ZCOSTCTR
CMD                          |    1      | SET_FILTER
DATA_PROVIDER       |     1     | DP_1
FILTER_VALUE_EXT |     1      | COSTCTR1
FILTER_VALUE_EXT |     1      | COSTCTR2
How can I filter on multiple single values?

Hi,
If you want to run report by applying multiple single values, you have move from the left box to right box in the Filter screen.
If you don't find data for othe chars, then the sufficient Master Data has not been loaded in BW for the other values. Please cross check all the Master Data has been loaded and activated in BW.

ALV Table - inhibit 'View' dropdown, filter button and settings button

Can someone tell me what methods need to be used to modify an ALV table to inhibit the showing of the functioniality in the header? I want to introduce this functionality to the users at a later date, but for now it should look like a standard table.

Hi Bob.
Hide / add function buttons in your ALV
You can hide all function buttons of the ALV with one of these methods.
Set toolbar visibility to false.
data: lr_function_settings type ref to if_salv_wd_function_settings.
lr_function_settings ?= wd_this->r_table. lr_function_settings->set_visible( CL_WD_UIELEMENT=>E_VISIBLE-NONE ).
set default ALV Functions off
data: lr_standard_functions type ref to if_salv_wd_std_functions.
lr_standard_functions ?= wd_this->r_table.
lr_standard_functions->set_sort_headerclick_allowed( ABAP_false ).
lr_standard_functions->set_filter_filterline_allowed( ABAP_false ).
lr_standard_functions->set_filter_complex_allowed( ABAP_false ).
lr_standard_functions->set_sort_complex_allowed( ABAP_false ).
You can set individual functions with these methods:
CALL METHOD cl_salv_wd_config_table=>if_salv_wd_standard_functions~set_<x>_allowed
EXPORTING
Value = ABAP_true.
Where <x> is to be replaced with the property of your choice.

Filter value selection in Queries takes a long time

Hello BW gurus....
I have a problem here. When a user tries to run a consolidated query it takes a long time. what are some of the performance tuning that can be done. My other issue is that once the query is run and the user tries to change the filter values say hes trying to restrict Cons group it takes like 30 min for the options to come up or even more than that and eventually fails. Is there any thing which i can do to improve the performance of these filter value selection option. we are on portal EP 6.0. I know this has nothing to do with interface but the crux of the problem is in the back end.
Any help is really appreciated
thanks

The Only Posted Values in Navigation generates a query that must examine most to your cube to find all filter options that correspond to your query. If the cube is large and you don't have much in the way of other restrictions, this can take a while. The benefit of this option is that the user is only presented with filter options that are in the domain they are interested in.
If you switch to either of the other options, the filter options are quickly deteremined by examing either the dimension or master table. The downside is that those filter options may not be in the data the your query would exclude, e.g.
Lets say you have a query on Bus Area and Cost Center.
- Master Data for Cost Centers = 0001 - 9999
- Cost Centers in your data are 0001 - 2999
- Only Cost Centers 1000 - 1099 in Bus Area 10.
If you have an input variable to select only Bus Area = 10 and run the query, then want to filter on Cost Center:
- with Only Values in Navigation, the user would only see Cost Centers 1000 - 1099 in the filter selection list.
- with Only Values in InfoProvider, the user would see Cost Centers 1000 - 2999.
- with Only Values in Master Data, user would see 0001 - 9999.
This may or may not be acceptable. If a user chooses Cost Center 2000, the query would copme back with No Available Data since ther are not transaction with Bus Area = 10 and Cost Center 2000.
Now lets say you are using CALMONTH, chances are the user would understand that if they select a November of 2006 while in August, they wouldn't get any data. They might understand what Cost Centers to expect back in Bus Area 10, but they may not be as familiar with all the values for all Characteristics.
Like everything else, there are pros + cons.

Filter hud performance profiling results

I was really curious why it took so long for the filter hud to open and I think I may have at least a partial answer. I used the awesome Sampler and fs_usage tools that come with the developer kit. I started profiling and pushed the filter button. Here's what I found:
1) A bunch of database access happens in the main thread. When you push the filter hud button you loose control of the application (SBOD) until the query is complete. I'm guessing it's asking the database which keywords exist in the currently selected project so it can make filter buttons for them. Why does a query of 600 images take 10 seconds...
2) Whenever you push the filter hud button thousands of little seeks and reads happen on the hard disk. I'm assuming this is the bottleneck.
Is this interesting to anyone? It's wandering off the standard subject matter a bit. However, performance is abysmal and knowing is half the battle!

I've dissected the SQLite database that Aperture uses. My current best guess is that either Aperture is doing something wrong with SQLite or it's doing extra queries that I don't understand. I recreated the database query that gives you a list of keywords for all images in the working set. It only took between 1/4 and 1/2 second to execute. Opening the filter hud in Aperture with the same working set of images takes over 3 seconds.
I've posted more detailed information on my site. It includes an overview of the database structure.

This is good news to me. It means the Aperture guys only have themselves to blame and should be able to speed it up considerably since the db is fast.
