Force Variable screen with Web Templates

We are on SP7 and have made the necessary settings based on note 950463, however the variable screen only pops up the first time you click the "New Analysis" button.  If you click the button again, and select a query with optional variables, the variable screen does not show up.  I've tried setting the default parameters in the IMG and in the portal iview to always pass the parameter VARIABLE_SCREEN=X along with making the necessary modifications to our default web template, but none of this has worked. Has anyone else come accross this?

Hey,
Below is a version of the web analyzer I created with the following changes:
1. Variable screen will always open on subsequent calls to the "New Analysis" button, even for optional variables.
2. A button for refresh. This button basically calls the variable screen. If no variables exist, then this will just refresh, but if variables do exist, this launches the variable screen and then refreshes, similar to the refresh used within the 3.x Bex Analyzer...
3. A button for "Back to Start" which takes you to the inital state of the web application.
4. A button for "Back" which will take you back one navigation state. Hope this code helps!
Cheers,
Prakash

  • Variable Screen of Web Template iView

    Deployed Web Template iView to Portal. But when ever i click on the link of the web template iview in the navigation panel in portal. Variable screen comes up first which is mandatory. Is there some way in the web application designer that i fill up the mandatory variable screen with values through some ABAP table interface or by using text elements web item without letting variable selection screen show up initially in the portal.
    I cant make those variable values default by going in BEx because those varaibles are global variables and getting used in many queries.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    We've just implemented a NetWeaver 2004s system, and these hints may help you out:
    1. In the Web Application Designer, there is a property on the web template which determines whether the variable screen is displayed or not. Therefore, you could uncheck that checkbox, and the variable selection screen won't be shown.
    2. As to defaulting values in the selection screen ... we have used ABAP code to default values in variables. I think it was done in the start routine. The code we have implemented works, but then we present the variable selection screen to the user, so I can see that certain values (like date for example) are defaulted. I am not sure what happens if you default these values and then don't present the selection screen ... assume it would work for you though. Check on SDN and find out about pre-popup ABAP code for queries, I am sure you will be able to find something that helps you out.

  • How to hide some variables on variables screen in web report (in WAD)

    I need to hide some optional variables (not all of them) on variables screen in web template.
    Hiding the whole selection screen is not an option, since users have to populate other variables and some variables are mandatory.
    Web template is based on a query that can be run in BEx Analyzer by superusers - and there they need all variables. I want to use the same query both in BEx Analyzer for superusers and on the Portal for regular users. For portal version though I need to hide some of the variables on the selection screen. Is it possible at all?
    I would like to avoid creating two separate queries - one for Analyzer and one for Portal.

    if the variables are optional and mandatory both avaialble
    then there is no chance that u can hide them
    the only option is to create a save as QUERY and remove those variable.
    it is not possible to just hide the variable screen...
    if u hv used they will be displayed....
    if u dont want it dont use it...
    and if really using another query is not advisable as u said
    the only thing i can say is that... try to interact with ur security person
    ask him u need to create several authorization objects for several variables
    if that is possible
    let him create those
    assign those specific authorization object to specific user id
    use it for specific variables u need
    tat way super users with specaial authorization can acess the same query and can see specific variables
    regular users withouts authorization of variables can see rest of variables.

  • Force Variable screen even the second time

    Hi guru's,
    I want to know how to force the variable screen in Web Analyzer each time the user open the query.
    I already set up the correct option to force the variable screen in my web template , but this option is Ok for the queries wich don't have mandatory vairable.
    My case is i open a report then put variables values and execute it. i open another report, and then i want to open again the first report. in this case the system does not ask me to put variables values. it execute with my old selections.
    i can change it in filter of my web page but i want to have access at the variable screen.
    Thanks for help
    Cyril

    Hi Cyril,
    1. Create a Web Template,place an Analysis item and assign the query which contains variable(either mandatory or normal variable)
    2.In the Properties of Analysis item->Select Web Template from the drop down->Behavior->Display Variable checkbox->make it as On(By default this will be Off)
    3.Save the template and open it in Web Analyzer.
    Now always it will prompt for a variable even if you open other template and come back,open this template.

  • Variable Screen in Web Application Designer (disappers after execute click)

    Hi,
    I have a Bex query in WAD, one of the variables is set to mandatory in Bex Query. i have also checked the "Force Variable Screen Display" option in web template. Initially when i call this Web template URL the varible screen is displayed and if i do not enter any value for the mandatory variable i get an error message till here everything works fine. 
    But when i provide the variable values and click on execute the variable screen disappears and never comes back again, how can fix this variable screen, so that it should be always visible even if i navigate between pages. I have WAD 3.5.
    Thanks

  • Variable in adhoc web template

    Dear Experts,
    In my adhoc web template, I included a dummy query which has a text variable.
    Upon executing the web template this variable is prompted correctly in selection screen.
    But, when I execute a query from query designer (the query will be automatically embedded to this adhoc web template when publish to web),
    only variable from the query is prompted,
    and NOT the text variable which I have in adhoc web template.
    Is there any way to have this text variable from adhoc web template even when I execute query from query designer?
    Thanks,
    Sari.

    Yes thanks.
    I have put the variable in the query designer and it works fine.
    Cheers,

  • Variable Personalization for Web Templates

    Hi,
    Does anyone know of a method to personalize variable values for <b>individual</b> web templates. When I personalize a variable value while running the query on web, its value gets modified for all queries, not just the specific one that I am running.
    This does not happen when I run the queries in BEx. Here I have the option of personalizing the variable values specific to the query that I am running (by using the icon at the bottom of the variable screen), or to personalize the variable value across all queries (by using the icon displayed with the individual variable).
    Can anyone help me in achieving the same two options for queries run on web? I want to personalize variable values for individual queries.
    Thanks
    -Arif

    Hi Arun
    Thanks for your input, but the bookmarks or parameter passing will not give enough flexibility to the users.
    For example:
    Out of 10 available variables in the query, the user should have an option of selecting values for those that have not been personalized (say 7 variables) while the rest 3 get populated automatically because they have been personalized. In EACH run of the query, the user will have the flexibility to select a different value for the 7 variables.
    This needs to be different for each query the user runs, even though the queries may use same variables as the other.
    I am trying out some options. If it works, I shall let you know.
    Regards

  • Reg: Requirement to change Variable Screen with BI 7.0

    Hi,
       We have a Requirement with Variable Screen in WAD 7.0 (7.1 GUI).
    Issue 1: By seeing the Variable in Variable Screen, <b>we can't say whether it will accept Multiple Values or not</b>? ..We need to press F4 then only we can come to know.
    Issue 2. We couldn't able to <b>select Value Ranges right away in one Step</b>(too many Navigations). At Least, Our Users are not happy with it. Even though we can provide manually by specifing '-' .
    Is it possible to get Variable Screen similar 6.4 GUI.
    If it is possible, please guide me to complete my Requirement.
    Thanks a lot!
    Nagesh Ganisetti.

    Prakash, do you know how to go about doing custom coding on the variable screens?
    Is there documentation available on this?
    Is it as simple as opening a specific template in the WAD, and if so, do you know the name of the template?

  • How to display the variable screen with report in the same page together

    our customers want to design a web application use BEx
    they want the variable screen can be displayed with the report result in the same web page together
    so they can modify the variable filters any time and refresh the report with new variable filter
    i have tried the navigation area,but it seems only use new filter to the data athough get,we can't change the filter we input in the variable screen.
    is there any way to display these together?
    even I can use BSP.

    I think to display var screen with the report is not possible.(At least it will not be static). You need to refresh the report and choose the varibale at that time.
    Other option could be to bring all the possible value in the report and provide your user with the filter value. But this will make your report slow as you may have to bring more data in the filter.
    Thanks...

  • Default variable values in Web Template

    http://-----xx.com:8120/sap/bw/BEx?sap-language=EN&bsplanguage=EN&CMD=LDOC&TEMPLATE_ID=QZSC_O01_5001_TEST&var_name_1=0S_PLANT&var_value_ext_1=6011&VARIABLE_SCREEN=X
    While using the above variable my expectation is it shall display variable screen and for plant (0s_plant) variable it shall show default value as 6011 while other variable shall remain blank.
    But while executing it is not showing plant default value in variable screen. Any suggestions.
    Many Thanks
    Vikash

    Hi Vikas,
                 While defining the Query, you can define the default value for the variable. And this Query can be assigned to the Analysis Item in the Web Template. If the "Display Variable" option is set to "On", then, whenever the Template is executed, the default value set in the Variable will be visible.
    Hope this answers your question.
    regards,
    prem.

  • Skipping of the variable screen in Web report

    Hi,
    I have created my queries in Bex. When I run the reports from my favorites in the SAP GUI, the reports are displayed directly without bringing up the variable screen in the web browser.
    Currently on BI7. Any ideas how to fix the issue.
    Thanks
    Demetrius

    Queries in Web are run using the default web template (which is generally 0analysis_pattern) - you can check the default WT for your system in tcode SPRO. In the properties of the web template, you have an option 'Display Variable Screen' - you can turn it on. As such, I think your query has no 'mandatory' variables, otherwise the var entry screen should have appeared.
    You might want to search for some threads on 0analysis_pattern to get some more info about it.

  • Problem with Web Template

    Hi,
    We are facing some problem in WAD.
    We have developed some reports based on views and as well on queries.
    As per our requirement we merged all the reports in a Standard web Template, and we are using table and graph as web items for the template, here the user can select any report becoz we have query selection option, then it will display the particular report. But we are getting the problem with the Template.
    While publishing the template we will get three tabs 1.DATA ANALYSIS, 2. GRAPHICAL DISPLAY 3.INFORMATION. in the initial screen that means in the DATA ANALYSIS tab it should display only the table, but in our case it is displaying both table and graph.
    And also if you select graphical tab then that should highlight the particular tab and with the particular graph, but the tabs is not highlighting when you selecting that.
    If you have any solutions please let us know.
    Regards,
    Nossum Chandu.

    Hi
    I have having almost similar problem. The difference is that it is other way around.
    The problem is from Development server instead from production. I am not using slandered template.
    I have done following but fail to resolve it-
    1) Loading templates using WAD gives inconsistency error. Object "...." is inconsistent.
    Recalling query in QD returns following two errors "BEx transport request is not available or not suitable 0", "Choose an existing request 0"
    2) While running the query using TX RSRT2 (Query Monitor support package X), returns error "An error has occurred in the script of this page" Line 11039, Char 1, Error Access is denied and so on...
    3) ICM ok, Services are checked.
    4) SM50 log does not give any clues
    5) There is no URL issue.
    6) BW Functionalities are active.
    Could some suggest?
    Thanks in advance

  • Long runtime to get variable screen with a 3.5 query published on EP7.0

    Dear Gurus,
    Here is my issue.
    I have a query restricting data on compounded characteristics. This query was developped in 3.5 version. We publish it through the EP 7.0 we have, using the Bex Iview to display the data.
    When I try to run the query on a QA environment, it takes more than 10 minutes, just to get the variable screen. I don't understand why, because when I run it through RSRT or through the regular 3.5 web interface it somes immediately.
    I am looking at the process in SM50, and the system seems to look at all the data that is in the underlying structures...
    I don't catch why the behaviour is so different between Bex web 3.5 and the 7.0. Is there a reason why the JAVA stack would run the query differently at the ABAP level ?
    Thanks for your input

    Sorry. I confused HotSwap (a JVM feature) with FastSwap, a WLS improvement on top of HotSwap that makes it work in many more cases. FastSwap is only available in WLS 10.3 and newer. I don't know that much about operation of HotSwap on its own. My understanding is that it is not very effective (the number of cases it is able to replace the class is rather limited). If you touch anything other than a method body, it will not work. OEPE doesn't have any explicit tooling for HotSwap.
