Global Variants in BI Query

Hi All,
Please let me know how to save a variant as GLOBAL. Is there a specific settings in BI-7.
Thanks!

Hi,
You can create a bew variable in table RSZGLOBV. Also all variables used in BW Queries are global, i.e. not tied to any InfoProvider. You can use a variable created for a query on Cube A, in a query on cube B. The variables are attached to the InfoObjects (Char variables). There are other variables like formula variables which may not be attached to an InfoObject.to look the table use SE16
Pls Check this thread.

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 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

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.

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.

Variants in BEx Query.

I've created a variant on a Bex Query. When I run the query in the browser, I see a complete list of all variants created by everyone in our team for that query. I really want to restrict the variants created by user to be displayed for that user. How can I do this?
Thanks,

Hi,
first of all, u can save variants for web reports globally (for one report, visible for all users) and locally (user specific variant).
Global variant: At the selection screen u choose "Save as variant". Disable "save as user variant". There u can enter a discription and a technical name. The variant is visible for all users.
Local Variant: At the selection screen u choose "Save as variant". Enable "save as variant". Enter only the description without a technical name. The variant is only visible by the author of this variant.
The same feature is available for BEx Analyzer 7.0 on SP 16.
Hope it helps,
Regards

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.

Delete the variants of a query from SAP GUI

Hi all,
We have migrated queries from 3.5 to 7.0, and now we are migrating their variants also.
But while migrating variants we got a situation where some variants got copied but not activated in 7.0.
so now we want to delete those variants and migrate it again as they are not being over written.
so, my question is how can we delete variants for a query in one shot from SAP GUI.
plzz....help asap.

Hi,
note : 1003481... makes the point that...
But the variant cannot be migrated when a variant with same technical name already exists in 'new' variant storage
would it be possible that the variant that you are trying to migrate shares a tech name with one already on the system?
to check variant tables for tech names used twice....
tx: se16
a)rsrvariant, (3x variants)
c)rsrparametrizat(bi 7 made variants)
variants that appear in rsrvariant (3x) will not migrate if the same
tech name appears already in rsrparametrizat (new storage area for bi7).
Delete the variant please refer the thread:
How to delete the Variants?.
Delete multiple variant
Thanks,
Venkat

Multiple Variant Deletion at Query Level

Hi,
In our project we built 100's of variants at BEX query level. Right now i need to delete some of them. I am able to delete them one by one. Can any one tell me how to delete all the variants at a time.
Thanks in Advance
Vijay

Hi,
When you join the two infoproviders in the infoset ignoring infocube date, you are creating as many records for each record in DSO. That means for the first record the infoset creates :
Plant     Material      Batch      Caldate         Qty     %
P1          M1          B101          01/02/2014     1000 20   (for first row in infocube)
P1          M1          B101          01/02/2014     1000   20 (for second row in infocube)
I also think same as Anshu, you have all the common characteristics, you can as well use a multiprovider.

Yasemin...

Tranporting variant of a query

Hi all,
Anyone is having a idea how to transport a variant of a query know variants are stored in TVARVC but I don't want to transport the entries or table want to transport variant stored in TVARVC.

Hi Nandini,
Generally we create varinats instead of transporting them from one system to the other.

Global Variants- can you restrict them?

I know that in finance you can control who has access to global variants by an authorization object. However, with the rest of the modules (mainly PM, MM) how do you restrict the global variants so they can not be edited?

Perhaps you would like to post your solution, so that others who use the search can benefit from it.
(please use a few technical terms like the objects and PIDs to help the search..)
I have a faint suspect that a rather lively discussion around the topic cannot be excluded...
Cheers,
