History of user Input values in variable entry screen

Hi Experts,
I have a small issue. I have a variable entry screen where I select values from the list. I can always see the history of variable values I input earlier when I click on the dropdown box. For example the country code displays all my previous inputs.
Similar to the web browsers history.
Not the same case with Fiscal Year/Period. I do the same type of selection from the combo box for example 12.2006. I give different values again like 1.2007, 2.2007 etc and run the report several times. But it doesn't show up the history of my previous entries unlike the country code.
Kindly help, points assured.
Thanks,
Raj.

What we've done isn't pretty, and I'm hoping for a better solution.
We've developed 3 ODSs that we've exported a full list of all attributes and their values to. Each ODS is identical.
We've then created an InfoSet to link the Product Cube to each of the 3 ODSs. We can then add 3 variables to the query representing each ODSs. Since the ODS holds over half a million attributes, we limited it to 3 since it takes 30 minutes to run.
It's not elegant, it's not pretty, and I'm sure it's not optimal. I'm hoping someone can describe a better solution.

Question on WAD's "Variable Entry" screen values

Hi,
I've one Web Template Report contains "Variable Entry" screen.
It has one entry for Plant.
Also inside a report I'm having one DropDownList that is for Plant only.
My Requirement is:
If I enter some "1000" as a input in Plant at Variable screen, that same "1000" should be passed inside the report. And that corresponding DropDownList should show the "1000" as the selected value.
Now I'm getting "Show all values" as the default selected item.
Kindly suggest to achive this requirement.
Full points will be given.
Thanks
-Jay Jay

Hi,
1)If i didn't give any value in Variable Entry screen, in the result DropDownList shows "No data" in disabled mode.
Ans. Since you have not checked "Display All Values", i think if you dont give any selection in the Variable Screen, the DropDown box will not be highlighted.
2)The Selected plant Not only having Name and id, But also having all characteristics like, 1402,Pen,Business Partner: xxxxx, Distribution channel:xxx, etc.,
Ans. Since we are reading from the Master Data, i think all these values will also be displayed.
I still dont know if you are using WAD 3.5 or 7 ? Maybe we have better options in 7. You can try with different properties.
Hope it helps.

How to capture the User input value to user exist function module.

Hi,
How can i capture user input value.Here i am using User exist in BPS variable.
Calculating days using user exist functin module and my input is another variable i.e user defined value.
How can i capture user defined vaule into my function module.
This is very urgent can you help me..
Thanks....

Hi!
You can get the instance using the method get_instance of the class cl_sem_variable, and call the method get_value with the return. Check the example:
      CALL METHOD cl_sem_variable=>get_instance
        EXPORTING
          i_area       = (planning area)
          i_variable   = (variable name)
        RECEIVING
          rr_variable = lr_var
        EXCEPTIONS
          not_existing = 1
          OTHERS       = 2.
      CHECK sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
      CALL METHOD lr_var->get_value
        RECEIVING
          rto_value = et_value
        EXCEPTIONS
          error     = 1.
After this, read the first line of the table et_value (it should be the value that the user choose on the screen).
seeya!

Variable entry screen for query doesnt show selection values.

Hi,
I've created a query with date varibale Quarter From-To. When i execute this query, the variable entry screen pops up but when i try to select values just shows ??? and not the text.
if i run the same query in RSRT the variable entry screen pops up but here the selection values are present for me to choose from.
can anyone tell why the values arent showing when the query is executed.
Thanks

yes, it seems to be a problem with NetWeaver BI BEx Java Web runtime as it works in RSRT and web analyzer. Found a note on marketplace note 125357 - No values displayed for attributes in input help but this did not resolve issue.
A call has been raised now as it seems to be a product fault

How can i read user input value to my User exist

Hi Guru's,
I am facing one problem in Variables in BPS.
I am calculating days from Month/year .I have one variable it is for Days,Second variable it is for Month/Year.
First variable is user exist (for calculating the days),Second varible is user defined variable(this is a Input to the first variable).
When i am giving the Month/Year(02/2008)variable i am getting the 29 days from the first variable.again i am changing the value of Month/Yera(03/2008) i am not getting the desired value.
my doubt is my user exist not able to read current value of variable(month/year).how can i pass my value to user exist because this value is user input value based on this value i am calculating the days and dynamically displaying the layout.

Variable entry screen from BW in webdynpro

Hi all,
    can I use the variable entry screen for a BEx query to access all the user inputted values in a webdynpro application.
    I want to launch this screen from within the webdynpro application, and once the user presses "Execute", I want all the user selections back in the application.
    Is this possible at all?
Thanks,
Satyajit.

Hi Satyajit,
Since the variable entry screen orignates from the BI system in conjunction with a web template it cannot be invoked separately. Do you plan to run the web application within a Web Dynpro application (i.e. an iFrame)? One option would be to use the BI Java SDK to populate the values in a user selection screen and then use the user's selection to execute a query or MDX statement. Of course you Web Dynpro app is responsible for rendering the result set.

Remove option from variable entry screen

Hi all,
I have to remove some option from the variable entry screen as the user dont required that...
How to remove that?
please let me know step by step....

Hi,
Do you want to remove some values for the variable and wish to show only few values which the user will select and fill in the variable screen or you want to change the no.of variables displayed in the variable screen and show only few variables?
If you want to do the first,
Restrict the values for that variable in the Query itself(in Query Designer) which can be done as follows...
Create a variable for a Characteristic and add it under "Default Values",then restrict the values for that variable.Now this will allow you to select the restricted values through the variable screen.
If you want to do the second,
Go to Personalized settings,and personalize the variables.You can also Modify the selection of values there as well.
Now you can show only the required variables in the variable screen.
If you want to create a variant(Global/Local) for the variables,that is also possible thorugh vairable screen.
Hope this helps you!

BDC error-- INPUT VALUE IS LONGER THAN SCREEN FIELD

Hi all,
         I wrote BDC for VA01. Here I need to pass condition amount to the BDC SCreen ( field name : KOMV-KBETR). When i run the BDC, it is throwing error -- ' INPUT VALUE IS LONGER THAN SCREEN FIELD '.
Then I passed the amount value manually to the BDC screen field. Still it is not working.
    DATA : v_kbetr1 TYPE komv-kbetr.
    MOVE itab-kbetr1 TO v_kbetr1.
   PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'KOMV-KBETR(08)'
                                  v_kbetr1.
Please look into this issue.
Thanks,
Murali Krishna.T

v_kbetr1 type komv-kbetr
have you seen the code automatically generated after recording in SHDB. You may notice that all the variable will be declared of character type. That is to avoid these kind of problems.
Change the declaration as character type of length 14. it should work.

# value in Variable Selection screen

Hello,
Can you please help with the below:
How do we remove # (Not Assigned) value from Variable selection screen. When I select PLANT in one of the report, I see # value. But there are no empty values in the cube. So, I am not sure as why I am getting this # value in Selection Screen. The seeting in Web designer for READ MODE is "Posted Values" and not "Master data or Dimension Table".
Thanks.

have you checked what Bex properties are set in the Info Object for "Query Def. Filter Value S"
Select Values from Info provider.
that might solve your problem. But ensure you're not disturbing anything else by changing this property.

Changing the variable entry screen in web?

Hi
I have copied and amended the standard web template and that's all fine. I now have a requirement to change the design of the variable entry screen. I need to be able to show the name of the query that has raised the variable screen. Is this possible? Can I change a different web template to achieve this?
Many thanks
Trish

Hi,
I need to do the same, were you able to display query name on variable entry screen, please share how you managed to solve this ?
Thanks in advance...

RRI - Target query should get input values to variables from first Query

Hi,
I have 2 queries in RRI, when i execute it , i am going to target query, but poping the variable screen, but i should get the input values from the first query automatically.
ex: in my first query, If i select CUSTOMER - A, then second query directly should take the input as Customer as A ans display the Customer A values.
Thnaks,
Amar.

Hi,
In the Assignment details, I have given the Document date variable of the second query for the 0calday of the first query.I hope this sentence is clear
Then the 0calday value directly passes to 0doc_date variable of the second query. And this 0doc_date variable is not seen in the second query.But rest of the variables of the second query like doc num ,category etc. are still visible in the pop up screen. the requirement is Pop Up Screen should be avoided completely
How can be this achieved.
Regards,
Amar

Redirect to different pages based on user input value

Hello,
Anyone please help.
I am trying to redirect to different pages based on user inputs. I have a form in which I have one text item and a submit button. For example consider text item to be empno; So once the user enters a empno and hits submit button; I need to redirect to different pages based on this job.
For Ex: if user inputs empno whose job is 'ANALYST' then redirect to page 1
if user inputs empno whose job is 'MANAGER' then redirect to page 10
For this scenario. i wrote a pl/sql process for the submit button; but no luck -- its not at all redirecting instead its in the same page. Below is the process.
declare
v_job varchar2(20);
begin
select job into v_job from emp where empno = :P9_EMPNO_R;
if v_job = 'ANALYST' then
OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL('f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.::', TRUE);
end if;
if v_job = 'MANAGER' then
OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL('f?p=&APP_ID.:10:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.::', TRUE);
end if;
end;Please help. I am using Oracle APEX version 4.2 and database Oracle 11g R2
Thanks,

Thanks,
OrtonI have a similar scenario in my application and this is how I handle it.
1. Create a page item on the page, say Px_PAGE_NUM
2. Create a "On Submit - After Computations and Validations" page process to set the above page item. In your case, you can use the same logic that you have already in place (except the call to OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL) :
declare
v_job varchar2(20);
begin
select job into v_job from emp where empno = :P9_EMPNO_R;
if v_job = 'ANALYST' then
:Px_PAGE_NUM := '1';
end if;
if v_job = 'MANAGER' then
:Px_PAGE_NUM := '10';
end if;
end;3. Create a "On Submit: After processing" branch. Specify the "Target Type" as "Page in the application" and "Page Number" as &Px_PAGE_NUM. (with the dot).
I hope the above helps.
BTW, the following thread in the forum related to OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL might help:
issue OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL with APEX 4.1.1

Delete button in variable entry screen

Hi guys,
is it possible to get the delete button icon for multiple
single values of a characteristic like we get for variable entry
on variable node in web application scenario.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
urgent!

sorry I misunderstood you question...
I've never seen a "delete" button for deleteing an entry in a multiple variable....
The user has to delete the input box and then press the check button...
Otherwise you'll have to implement your own selection variable screen, I guess; since this screen is SAP standard, good luck!
hope this helps,
Olviier.

Limit list of values in variable selection screen

Hi
Apologies if this has been asked / answered elsewhere, but I thought I would put it out there, at least while I continue trying to find a solution.
We have a requirement to limit the data from which a user is allowed to select values in the variable selection screen. I know how to write the ABAP code that will return the list of data from which the user can choose, but not sure how to implement that in the query variable.
Essentially, the BEx query needs an input on username, and the current user should be able to choose from a list of usernames. That list of usernames should only be usernames to which the current user has access.
Don't worry about the linking of current user to user names, that is taken care of in our DSO.
What I am after, is limiting the data that comes back when the "F4 Help" type button is pressed on the variable screen.
I can default a value in the customer exit variable using ABAP code in the i_step = 1 loop, but that doesn't seem to effect the list of data available for selection.
Any decent ideas?
Cheers,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
As charlie suggested go for Analysis authorization that is the simplest approach to restrict values for any object, in another way you can use following BADI for value restriction using ABAP code, refer the below link.
[http://www.consolut.com/en/s/sap-ides-access/d/s/doc/YY-BW_BADI_F4]
By using customer exit you can only populate default values but you will not be able to restrict F4 help values.

Durgesh.
