Hierarchy variable not passed over to universe

Hierarchy variable is not passed to the universe from the query, note 1007048 is not applicable to our system.
Any ideas on what other config to check and change ?

Hi,
- does the query work without any issues in transaction RSRT ?
- do you see the variable as filter in the Universe ?

Session variable not passing between pages

Hi, I've got a form that calculates checkbox values and puts them in a total field called txtTotal. When the user clicks send, I need to pass the total to a payment page. The form page has PHP
session_start();
$_SESSION['sessTotal'] = $_POST['txtTotal'];
and the payment page has
session_start(); at the top of the page and <?php echo $_SESSION['sessTotal']; ?> where I want the total to display. The total does not carry over to the payment page and I can't work out why.
Here is all the PHP from the form page as I'm pretty new to PHP and not sure if there's a conflict (should session_start appear more than once?) Thanks guys
<?php require_once('Connections/df.php'); ?>

//initialize the session

OK I got it. I needed

on the payments page as well, not just session_start();

Dimension based on hierarchy variable not showing attributes

Hi all.
I created a BEx query with a hierarchy variable on 0MATERIAL ready for input, so that when I execute the query it prompts me to select one of the hierarchies node. I created a universe on top of this query and the prompt is also present in the universe, as it should be. When I execute the webi report selecting on of the hierarchies available there is no problem. But when I execute the webi report without selecting any hierarchies (I want the report to show without the hierarchy bahavior), the dimension L01 material shows the values, but the L01 Material details are all empty.
Anybody know a solution for this problem?
Using BO XI 3.1 SP2 latest fixpack available.
Regards,
André

Hi Ingo.
I think I may not be able to generate this log, the basis team refuses to change the registry entries on Windows server. Are there other ways you can analyse this problem?
I think this problem is related to the fact that the dimensions L00 to L06 have a select statement like .[LEVEL01].. and the details are like .[LEVEL01].[[20MATERIAL]].[Value], and when we run the webi report without choosing any value for the hierarchy, the !V000006 is not being properly substitute to "0MATERIAL". But this is a hunch. I tested creating a dimension with select statement .[LEVEL01] and substituting the details as well, then it works, but this is not a solution, because this "adaptation" leads to others problems and errors executing the report.

BW hierarchy variable not working in Crystal Report 2008

Hi,
I have created BEx 7.0 report which has hierarchy on 0customer object, the report is working fine whith hierarchy variable. I have created Crystal Report by using this query as source. I have followed below link to create grouping to get data through hierarchy variable.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/BWHierarchiesinCrystalReports
But report does not work for hierarchy variable and report is blank. When I give filter of child node which has actual data then I get report output. For ex.
Below hierarchy for 0customer
11396
- 737007
- 123456
When I run report for 11396 then no data display but when I run 737007 child node I get report output but with blank group name.
Can anyone came accross this issue. Please guide me . Thanks in advance.

Thanks Ingo for your reply..
The word filter means, I have hierarchy node variable in the BEx report that has become Parameter in CR. When I give hierarchy node variable value of parent node then there is not data display but for the child node I get the data.
For ex. In the info cube there is data for 730707 customer but in the customer hierarchy the parent node of 73707 is 11396. I am giving 11396 in the variable pop screen for hierarchy variable. I do not see any data but for 73707 I get data.
User does not know 73707, he always enter 11396 customer no. and he gets data in BEx query that is source of CR. but crystal report is not showing data for 11396.
One more point I want to tell here, I am saving CR at my local system not to SAP BW server.
Hope this clear my issue.

BOXI 3.0 Units of Measure not coming over to universe based on Infoset

We are noticing that the Unit of Measure for Infoset based query objects are not coming over with the base install of the SAP integration Kit. However, it does seem to work after fixpack 2. Can anyone confirm this?

Hi Mark,
we had a separate thread on this already - or ?
for Universes on top of Web Intelligence it has been identified as an issue.
For Universes on top of InfoCubes it works fine.

BW Variables not showing up in universe based on BEX query

We've been trying to create BO Universes on BEx Queries. When we create the connection, it reads the query into the Universe, however, it does not always read all of the BW variables associated with the queries. We've moved all filters in the BEx Query into Free Characteristics but BO Designer still does not read them into the universe or create them as mandatory filters in the universes as the documentation states. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks

Hi -
I assume that you might have kept the filters(Variables) in Default Values section. Only filters which are placed in Characterstic restrictions will appear in Universe Designer. Thanks!

Environment variables not passed through to player in flexunit 4.1.0-beta3

fyi, to get flexunit-4.1.0-beta3 FlexUnit4AntTasks invocation of flashplayer to not be rejected by the vncserver, i needed to modify the FlexUnitLauncher to pass through the environment variables to the command environment.
the reason this is required, i think, is the use of Runtime.exec() directly in CustomPlayerCommand -- in flexunit-4.0.0, the same function was accomplished using the ant executor, which does passthrough by default.
anyway, curious if anyone else has seen this issue, or if i'm doing something dumb.

ok. i went looking for a JIRA link somewhere around here and couldn't find it. do you have a URL handy?
there are a couple of other things too:
you probably want trustDirectory.mkdirs() rather than mkdir() in TrustFile.java
you probably want CustomPlayerCommand.setLocalTrusted() -- my player command isn't in the machine's path, but i still want to be able to touch the trust file. So I copied the trustFile.add() stuff from FlashPlayerCommand.launch() into CustomPlayerCommand.launch(). probably a better solution would be refactoring CustomPlayerCommand to be more like FlashPlayerCommand.
anyway, if you want patches, tell me where to put them and i'll post some.

GetURL(varLink01, "_self"); variable not passing???

i'm passing varLink01 from PHP to a flash file no problem (it
loads into a dynamic text field fine).
but when i try and load this variable to the getURL command
the link is not working, the flash takes me to a "page not found."
here is my code:
DECLARE VAR
var passed:String = varLink01;
(different layer, same frame)
ACTION SCRIPT
on (release) {
getURL(varLink01, "_self");
i've put hours into this.... any help???
Thanks, Joe

i'm getting this in my Output Panel:
"One or more breakpoints have been removed because they are
not on valid lines of code." this is weird since the SWF file runs
perfectly other than this issue.
i updated my code to be sure my vars are declared and
defined--
var varImage01:String = "
http://www.liquidmilitia.com/gallery2/d/2966-1/01.jpg";
var varLink01:String = "
http://www.yahoo.com";
var passed:String = varImage01;
i01load.contentPath = varImage01;
var passed:String = varLink01;
BUT-
i'm using Actionscript 2.0. if i can RUN and DISPLAY the
value of varLink01 in a dynamic text box like
i am in the SWF file -- doesn't this confirm that the
variable is succifiently declared and defined?
I'm really sorry if i'm missing something here...

QuickTime Media Link (qtl) not passed over to Player

Safari saves all movies with .qtl to my desktop.
They only open in QuickTime, if I have checked the option "open save files after downloading" (something like that - I have translated it from German).
Is this the default setting in Safari? What about the other Browsers?
I mean, if I export my videos in QuickTime Media Links,
how many of my website viewers just will have saved a file to their desktop without anything happening after?
I also wonder, if this saving of the QuickTime Media Link files is normal.
Thank you for any replays

I am looking for a way that my podcast-videos can be played fullscreen not only in iTunes but also on my website.
With a (xml) QuickTime Media Link I can let the videos play in fullscreen and shut down the QuickTime Player at the end.
A plug-in with optional fullscreen playback would be a much easier solution,
but Apple possibly won't add this because they want the users download iTunes.

Problem with preloader not passing over nextFrame();

The preloader I created doesn't transistion to the next frame, it just hangs on the preloader frame at 0%. Here is my code:
stop();
loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);
function updatePreloader (evtObj:ProgressEvent):void{
var percent:Number = Math.floor((evtObj.bytesLoaded*100)/evtObj.bytesTotal);
preloader_bar.width = (percent/100) * 600;
preloader_txt.text = "Loading " + percent + " %";
if (percent == 100) {
   nextFrame();
   this.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);
The problem is when the swf is called online it stops on the 1st frame and shows the preloader at 0% and does nothing. I can right-click on the non-functional embedded flash swf and select play and it runs fine; but this doesnt make any sense for my users to be doing the same... However, when the file is recalled after the first attempt it works fine. Any ideas what could be going on?

Thanks, I think it’s working! I can't recreate the problem...
Code:
stop();
if (this.framesLoaded == this.totalFrames){
nextFrame();
else{
loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);
function updatePreloader (evtObj:ProgressEvent):void{
   var percent:Number = Math.floor((evtObj.bytesLoaded*100)/evtObj.bytesTotal);
   preloader_bar.width = (percent/100) * 600;
   preloader_txt.text = "Loading " + percent + " %";
   if (percent == 100) {
    nextFrame();
    this.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);

Hierarchy Node Variable not working

Hello,
I created two variable one being Hierarchy Node variable and other Hierarchy variable.
I am using this for the Internal order hierarchy.
I amd also working on 2004s and not 3.5 version.
I restricted the Internal order and then selected the variable and then selected the nodes and before moving the Nodes variable, I also selected the Variable for the Hierarchy and then moved the Node variable to the right screen.
When I run the report, the option for the selecting the Hierarchy appears and I selected the correct Hierarchy, but when I go to the Hierarchy Node variable, I do not see the Nodes for that Hierarchy I selected in the first variable and it always like a fixed value Hierarchy defaults to the first Hierarchy. Hence I am unable to select the node to execute the report.
I would appreciate any ones feedback.
Thanks
Sundar

I am working in 2004s as well (SP11) and I am trying to do the same type of thing.
I have multiple cost center hieriarchies that the user can choose from at run-time using the hierachy variable.
Then once the user chooses to the hierarchy they then should go choose a specific node that they want to run for in that hierarchy using the Cost Center Hierarchy Node variable (using the hierarchy variable, not fixed hierarchy).
When I run this in the web I am allowed to choose one of the multiple cost center hierarchies... this means that the hierarchy variable is working, however when i go to choose the specific cost center node for that hierarchy it uses the defult cost center hierarchy instead of the one selected in the selection screen.
If anyone can shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated.

Filters 'OR' function not passing the values to the sql

Hi,
I am facing an issue with the 'OR' function on the filters that are used in the reports.
The report needs to fetch all the records on the three tables as the user enters the value in the dashboard prompts.
eg: [   update_dt_A1 is prompted
and user_name_A1 is prompted ]
or
[    update_dt_B1 is prompted
and user_name_B1 is prompted ]
or
[    update_dt_C1 is prompted
and user_name_C1 is prompted ]
The values entered in the dashboard prompt gets passed to the filter, but the vaules are not passed over to the SQL that runs on the database, hence the reports shows all values and does not reflect the values entered.
When the 'OR' function is replaced with 'AND' the values get passed to the SQL.
Can anyone help on what is the issue on the filters?
Thanks

Here is how my Filters are set up
Vendor Name is Prompted
AND
Vendor Number is Prompted
AND
[   [Last_update_date_Vendor is prompted
AND
User_name_Vendor is prompted]
OR
[Last_update_date_Site is prompted
    AND
    User_name_Site is prompted]
OR
[Last_update_date_Bank is prompted
    AND
    User_name_Bank is prompted]
The values from the dashboard prompts gets passed to the filter, but the sql that runs does not take the values in the where clause.

Some CATIA information is not passing to Adobe 9 Pro Extended

When creating 3D PDF files some information from CATIA is not passing over to Adobe depending on the workbench the part was designed in in CATIA.
This information is stored as Parameters in CATIA. Used in this case to store text. When the part is created with the "Part Design" workbench these parameters transfer over. When the part is created with the "Sheet Metal Design" workbench they do not transfer over leaving behind vital information such as part notes. The PMI information translates just not the parameters. See attched picture for example.

Yes, this is a known issue, but I have no idea if anything is being done about it.
We are dealing with this problem by using other applications to view sheet metal files. But this is a miserable fix.

Input hierarchy variable is not working

Hi,
i have created a BI quary which have a manual input hierarchy variable.Now i have created a Universe on it,and then Qaaws.
In Qaaws this varibale working fine,its gives proper result aCcording to selection of node.Then i have used this in Xcelsius,i have created a connection and then as input value i provided ROOT node key thorugh mapping this to one cell, and mapped the output cell.
Now if when i preview it,its showing no data,and if remove the input node value(balnck cell) then its showing data.I find out that its not taking the value.
What could be wrong here?How to pass hhierarchy node in xcelsius?
Thanks,
Piyush

Hi,
I had the exact same problem. Please have a look at this thread:
xPost: QaaWS, BW, Xcelsius and aggregation
Here is what you need to do (assuming you are on XI 3.1 SP2)
1) Refresh you universe with the option Generate technical names. This will give you an additional detail for each dimension in your universe called ...techname. So if you now check e.g. L01, L02 in your hierarchy they will have this attribute.
2) Create a new web service that includes key and the techname detail
3) Insert this into your visualization and use it to fill e.g. a combo box (key) and return the key + techname when selected
4) You can then use the techname to filter your second web service in the input values
Hth.,

Hierarchy variables in webi / Universe

Hi,
I am running XI 3.1 and have defined a hierarchy variable in the BW Query. When testing from query designer it works fine (I am being prompted), but the variable is not carried through to the universe and when trying out the universe in webi I get an MDX error.
What am I missing. Anything special to be aware of when it comes to hierarchy variables?
Regular variables show up fine in universe and webi.
Best regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
lets clarify one thing first : there is not need to do any special resitrction in the BI queyr.
enure the characterististic with the variable shows up in the rows / columns, free characteristic or in the restriction area.
try the following :
- go to transaction SE37
- run the function BAPI_MDPROVIDER_GET_VARiABLEs
- as cub-name enter the technical name of the BI Query in the syntax cube/query
in case that list is empty look at the note mentioned above
