Global Variant for Query

I am on BI7.
In Query Designer, I have created a Variable for each of the Characteristic on my query.
when I run the query, I can now enter the parameter for each of this Characteristic and Save it as Variant.
When I run the query again, I can select this Variant. No problem, working fine.
However, when my colleague run this query, he/she can't see this variant.
How can we create Global Variant so that all user can use it?
Please help, thank you.

Hi Linda
You need to go to RSRT to create your variant (click 'Query Variants' then the Create button, enter name and description, then enter the selection criteria, then Save)
Then all users can see this variant, along with their own local ones.
Points?
Thanks,
Patrick

  • Unable to create global variant for BEx query

    Good Day BI Experts.
    I would like to be able to provide some of my power users with the ability to create global variants to BEx queries executed using Analyzer.  When they try to save a global variant now, they receive the message "You are not authorized to create variant name".  Is there a generic role that can be assigned to the user for this?  Or perhaps a PFCG setting to an existing role?  I'm rather new at this, so details would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Casey

    Hi.
    Your users need to have create and change access for auth object S_RS_PARAM to create variants.
    You can enforce a naming convention by maintaining the values of "tech name of variant" like Z*, according to your needs.
    Regards
    Jacob
    P.S:
    If you have a general role for report users, add the auth object to that one in PFCG if it's not already there. In the latter case, you might have to change the values, to let your users maitain things...

  • Global Variant in Analyser

    Dear Experts,
    I want to create a global variant in Query Analyser , as I already created some Query Variants through RSRT but able to see all those variants in Available Variants Option in Analyser. How can I see all those variants in Analyser??
    Please suggest.
    Thanks in Advance
    Neha

    Hii
    No, it does not show me any such variant in analyser that i created in RSRT , & secondally I know that  I can create the variant directly in analyser using query's selection screen but that variant is not displayed to other user id & I want that user will be able to see those variants that I create on my ID.

  • Variant for a query in Web

    HI,
    In my query I had a User entry Variable (Multiple Single Values) on 0DEPARTMENT.
    I had give a list of 2000 departments in a excel file.
    When I execute a query in WEB (7X Template) my requirement is to create a Variant so that if selected all the 2000 departments are included
    How can I paste all the 2000 values in the variable screen and save it as a variant
    Thanks

    Hi,
    For this you will need to create variant for the query in RSRT transaction. Just goto RSRT transaction. Provide the query name and click on Query Variants button. You will get a n option to create variant for the query. paste all the 2000 values for that particular variable of the query and save it as variant.
    Now when you will execute the query in the web you will get an option to select that variant from the query.

  • Variant for Control Query on Bex Broadcaster Filter

    I am trying to create a Bex Broadcaster setting on a query via query designer (query -->Publish --> Bex Broadcaster). In the Filter Navigation Tab, I want include a filter using a control query with variants. My control query has a variable that is set to (single value, mandatory,manual input) and i created a variant for the control query on the web. I am able to create the Bex Broadcaster setting and enter my control query but when I go enter the variant it always gives me "No selections available".
    Another issue that i am having is - when I try to create a filter on a characterisitc in the Bex Broadcaster and give mulitple values in the filter, it ends up generating seperate excel files (distribution type is e-mail) for each value in the filter. Is there any way i can consolidate all these results and get it to generate on single file?

    1st : no wanswer by now.
    2nd : don't filter in the Broadcastsetting, filter in the Broadcastquery to avoid a broadcast for every filter value.

  • What is typical for amount of users that create global variants

    hello all,
    what is everyone's experience in how many users they give authorization to create global variants?  I'm assuming if to many people the variant list can become quite big. 
    just thoughts on experience would be nice.  thanks
    Edited by: CM on Sep 3, 2009 12:14 AM

    In our case, specific power users have been identified and they are the only one's outside of the BW development team that have the capability of creating global variants. These power users typically create global variants that correspond to authorizations in BW. For example, 0PLANT is an authorization-relevant Characteristic. People associated to one plant can't see another plant, but Finance can see all plants. So, the power user would create the global variants as one for each plant. Finance people leave this wide open (if not mandatory).
    We have ~5K report users and there are <30 power users if that helps with a percentage.

  • Not authorization when create a global variant

    Hi developers,
    if i create a variant for execute a query in BI 7.0 with flag for user the system work, while I create a global variant I have problem with the authorization. There are specifics authorizations object for the creation of variant global or are necessaries particular objects.
    Can you help me ?
    Thanks in advance
    Domenico

    Hi Domenico,
    If its authorization problem, try and consult your Basis team. Specify them for which transaction (or) rather for which objects you are having the authorization issues. I guess they should help U with it.
    Hope this will help.

  • Error on Transaction Code for Query

    Hello, Masters
    I have a problem with a transaction for query, I hope that you can help me.
    On transaction SE93 I create transaction ZRH11,
    I choose transaction with parameters.
    On Transaction field the value is  START_REPORT
    The checkbox skip initial screen is marked
    The checkbox for SAP GUI for html, java and windows are marked
    Parameter D_SREPOVARI-REPORTTYPE = 'AQ'.
    Parameter D_SREPOVARI-REPORT     = 'RHCYA' is the users group this group is global
    Parameter D_SREPOVARI-EXTDREPORT = 'ZIT0015' is the query
    Parameter D_SREPOVARI-VARIANT    = 'STANDARD'
    R/3 says that the transaction is consistent, but at the time that I want to run send the message "User group RHCYA has not yet been created"
    The user group is created, what's wrong???
    Thanks
    Omar

    Hi Omar,
    Please try to Use the User group as "RHCYA1". For some reason, it doesn't take the user group as it is and we need to append some character to the user group at the end. Not sure why it does so. Please use RHCYA1 and see if it works. Hope this helps. Thanks

  • Global Variant in BexAnalyzer

    Hi,
       I have created one variant for a workbook. But its available only for the user who has created this, just  like a local variant. Now if I login through another userid and password I am not able to see that variant.
    Is there any way to create a Global Variant, So that all the users can use that.

    Hi Anjali,
    If the u2018Save As User Variantu2019 is checked, the variant can be displayed only by the user who created it.  If it is unchecked, the variant is saved as a global variant and is available to all users who use the query.

  • Variant for a Web Report

    Hi Guys,
    I was wondering if there was a way of creating a variant for a web report, the way we can create one for a BEx report. I would like to be able to store the variable values in a variant and then select one of the avaialable ones.
    Thanks,
    Doniv

    The save as view functionality does exist in BW 3.x.  The only difference is that it is not available as a web item.  There is a template named 0publishing_template.  This has the save view option available.  The other way is directly from the Web Application Designer.  Go to Tools --> View Definition --> Select either based on a query or based on another query view.  Once this is done you can either create another web template with the view as your dataprovider or you can create a hyperlink in the role menu and use a URL like this:
    http://servername/sap/bw/BEx?sap-language=EN&bsplanguage=EN&CMD=LDOC&TEMPLATE_ID=0query_template&data_provider_id=technical name view. 
    One thing to note is that views will save the variable entries.  You can add VARIABLE_SCREEN="X" to force the display of the variable screen.  To change the values in the variable screen add VARIABLES_CLEAR="X". 
    Hope this helps.

  • Use of Cell Variant for a normal table

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement in a normal table where a row is first in read-only mode, then on click of edit button (given on that row),
    the row should become editable and also edit button should become invisible and two more buttons update/cancel have to be visible. How to achieve this using a cell variant for this normal table.
    A detailed reply would be appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Mirza Hyder.

    Hi Mirza,
    Cell variant property is used to chenge the cell property not for other.That means in one cell you want checkbox and in other cell you want textview like this you can change the property of cell as you want.
    Test this standard program WDR_TEST_TABLE in that test view cell varint for your understanding.
    Coming to your requirement.You can do in this way.
    Check in the below thread in that i gave code to make the entire row is editable when you click on the lead selection of row.I gave code for ALV.I hope that code is use ful for you.
    How to make all columns of alv editable
    To make tool bar buttons disable and enable:Write your logic in method handler of lead selection event like change the visible property of button to none.
    Note: In the event handler method you dont get reference of view.You only get reference of view in WDDOMODIFYVIEW only so take a global variable of type ref to if_wd_view and populate that global variable in method WDODIFYVIEW.So that you can access any view element in any method.
    For cell variant in ALV check this Article written by me.

  • Transaction variant for SM37

    Hi all,
    I am trying to create a transaction variant for the "job overview" screen - this is the screen after you have selected the list of jobs. I have the deactivated some items "menu functions" - program SAPLBTCH - status - JOV_STATUS, but there are not working when I test these.
    Any ideas ?

    Hi JC,
    This is how it works (sorry for the German :-):
    *   Pruefen der Loesch-Berechtigung,
    *   Eigene Jobs duerfen ohne weitere Pruefung gelscht werden.
    *   Jobs anderer Benutzer drfen nur gelscht werden, wenn Lsch-
    *   berechtigung bzw. Batchadministratorberechtigung vorliegt.
      IF tbtco-sdluname <> sy-uname.
        AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'S_BTCH_JOB'
          ID 'JOBGROUP'  FIELD '*'
          ID 'JOBACTION' FIELD 'DELE'.
        IF sy-subrc > 0.
          PERFORM check_batch_admin_privilege.
          IF batch_admin_privilege_given EQ btc_no .
            PERFORM deq_tbtco_entry
              USING
                jobname jobcount retcode.
            MESSAGE s125
              WITH
                tbtco-jobname sy-uname.
            RAISE no_delete_authority.
          ENDIF.
        ENDIF.
      ENDIF.
    ... and check_batch_admin_privilege is...
    *      FORM CHECK_BATCH_ADMIN_PRIVILEGE                               *
    * Prüfe, ob Benutzer Batchadministratorberechtigung hat. Diese Routine*
    * setzt die globale Variable BATCH_ADMIN_PRIVILEGE.                   *
    FORM check_batch_admin_privilege.
      AUTHORITY-CHECK
        OBJECT 'S_BTCH_ADM'
            ID 'BTCADMIN' FIELD 'Y'.
      IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
        batch_admin_privilege_given = btc_yes.
      ELSE.
        batch_admin_privilege_given = btc_no.
      ENDIF.
    ENDFORM. " CHECK_BATCH_ADMIN_PRIVILEGE.
    So, if you do not give up the S_BTCH_ADM to be able to use the S_BTCH_JOB job_action 'DELE', then you cannot.
    But it works like this for many of the S_BTCH_JOB checks, so perhaps the support users do not really need the S_BTCH_ADM?
    As a compensating control, you can consider SAP note 850885 with some organizational measures (e.g. training) around it.
