How To ... BPS Variables of type exit

Dear All,
I am reading the How To ... BPS Variables of type exit sap document.
On chapter 3.3.1 step 10 to 12 it's explain how to populated variable, and check user exit action to display one value in fonction of an other one.
Unfortunately on step 11, when I click on F4 I got nothing. I can't enter value.
Would you please let me know if the system should be configured in a particular way ?
Thanks

Hi Luminy,
If you have followed Step 2 with 2002 then you would have got that at f4
regards
Happy Tony

BPS Variables of Type Exit (How To Document)

Hello,
I'm trying to restrict entries for (say) variable #2, based on the selection of variable #1.
I've just realised characteristic relationships cannot be used and need to use a user exit. I've gone through the "How To" on BPS Variables of Type Exit and have gotten the function modules to working properly.
However when the function module attempts to pass the data to BPS Variable #2, BPS gives an ERROR saying that in order to write new values into variable #2, the variable must have a replacement path "USER DEFINED VALUES".
However this is not possible as the replacement path must be set to "USER EXIT" so the function module can be activated.
The only way around this is to tell the function module which BPS Variable it should choose to write the data to, if so does anyone the ABAP to store values into a BPS Variable.
Right now would appreciate any comment on this.
Kind regards,
Marinos

Hi Marc,
Yes, the How To paper answers my problem, and when I run the program via se37 the correct variable selections are being populated in table ETO_CHARSEL. However when values are passed to the BPS Variable, the first information message read "The Conditions were Adapted" but no values are passed to the variable. Then a second error message "Entry not possible, var does not have replacement type user-spec vals." This seems to be a conundrum as the variable needs to be set as user-exit.
Any thoughts?

BPS Variables of type Exit Problem !

During processing using the default settings,
if i change values of a variable internally it do
not change the set of variable values that are displayed after the initial execution of a WEB planning
application.
Refresh is KO after a new choice of variable.
I append a record to table upc_dark2 with param=
WEB_REFRESH_ON_CHANGE and value=X. : refresh always KO
I have tested with l_buffer_call = 'X' and with l_buffer_call = ' ' ---> always KO
Is-it a problem of buffer ?
Is-it dependent of leading ?

Hi Dieu,
Thanks for your reply, but the main purpose is to limit the number of options available to the user. If I start at level 3 all options will be available to the user.

SEM-BPS: Variables of type hierarchy node user exit

Hi,
I read the "How to.." document "Variables of Type Exit".
This document has example for variable type caracteristic.
I need to use this kind of solution for global variables:
I have the same variables in several planning areas. I have defined one leading area containing the variable that should automatically set/adjust the corresponding variables in the other planning areas.
I've created a SEM variable of type hierarchy node and with the replacement type user exit. There is a standard function module API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_GETDETAIL which has to provide the selected hierarchy node in leading area to other areas.
The function works ideally in test mode, but it doesn't work as the SEM user exit.
Does anyone have experience in this problem?
Thanks

Your function module shall follow the expected interface (required for exit type). Function API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_GETDETAIL is not for such usage.
To see an example FM that is fit for a 'user exit' processing for hierarchy node, have a look at FM UPF_VARIABLE_USER_EXIT_HIER. There is inline documentation in the source code that shall help you create your own FM if required.
cheers,

How to access BPS variables in ABAP Exit Function

Hi Experts,
I am using a Exit Function. My BPS variables contain multiple values. I want to trasfer then (may be directly read) to an internal table from where I can loop over then.
Could you please suggest me the code for this?
Points will be awarded.
Thanks in advance,
Shiwesh

Did you try using the FMs API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_GETDETAIL or Z_VARIABLE_GET_DETAIL for this?

Newbie how to define variable of type element?

JDEV 10.1.3.1
When I perform the following from BPEL designer in JDEV...
variable new
create variable
Select element type
Select a local file schema xsd
Select element of choice
Seems to define OK but fails to compile. Namespaces appear to include the namespace defined in the xsd.
When I define variables of type message and browse to the appropriate wsdl and pick a message from there this seems to work / compile just fine.
I am sure that since I am just getting started that this is a common error, please assist and thanks. Must all variables be defined as message types and reside in a WSDL?
Thanks,
John

Hello John,
I'm not sure whether it is possible to import a schema into a process directly. What I usually do is to import it into the wsdl-file describing the process interface. This is the file you use to define the client-partnerlink. If your schema is imported correctly, you can access the type-definition via the partner-links-node in the type chooser (this works at least in JDEV 10.1.3.3 and 10.1.3.4).
To import your schema into the wsdl, you need to go to the structure-view in wsdl-editor and after a right-click on the types-node select "insert types". Inside types you insert XML-Schema, inside schema you need to insert an import-tag. The properties for this tag are the file-location and the target namespace used in the schema. The resulting XML-structure should look like this:
<wsdl:definitions xmlns:plnk="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/05/partner-link/" xmlns:tns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/Order_Booking___Shipment" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" name="Order_Processing_SystemPLT" targetNamespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/Order_Booking___Shipment">
<wsdl:types>
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<import schemaLocation="Order_Booking___Shipment.xsd"
namespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/Order_Booking___Shipment"/>
</schema>
</wsdl:types>
</wsdl:definitions>

Using BPS Variable of Type Authorization

Hi,
I have tried to use a variable of type 'Authorization' to effectively control the access of a certain set of users for certain version of plan data.
Example: User A can have access (change) to both plan version 01, 02
User B can have change access to version 01 and only display access to version 02 of plan data.
I am trying to have both the version displayed in the single layout (web as well as excel).
I couldnt find detail info on this, any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
Authorization variables are not the appropriate option to restrict display/write access for the scenario you mention.
My suggestion would be to create 2 layouts. In one layout the users can write to both the versions and in the second you can have the option to write to version 1 and display version 2.
You can then have authorizations set on these layouts to restrict access.
Hope this helps.

BW-BPS Variables of type hierarchy node - user exit

Hello,
I created a variable SEM of type hierarchy node and with the replacement type "user exit". So I created a function to fill this variable and I don't find the right type for import and export parameters of my function. I have a dump : CALL_FUNCTION_CONFLICT_TYPE in the method GET_HIE_NODES
Thank you for your help.

How to access variables outside user exit

Hi,
I'm working with a user exit and my problem is that in a particular moment I have to access variables located outside the scope of the user exit (they are in a standard program)
How can I reach these variables?
thanks in advance

Hi,
If they are global variables then you can access them using Global assign technique,
For example,
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_value> TYPE ANY.
ASSIGN ('(SAPMV45A)XVBAK') TO <fs_value>.
It is basically,
ASSIGN ('(<Std. Program Name>)<Variable name>') TO <field symbol>.
NOTE: To make sure they are accessible in your user exit, just put a break-point in the user exit and once you are there in debugging, type in,
(<Std. Program Name>)<Variable name> in the Field names section and if it does not show it in RED then it is accessible..
Hope this helps..

Hierarchy authorization with variables of type exit

Hi all,
I am trying to implement hierarchy based authorizations with variables. After collecting information from the SAP documentation and this forum, I think I know more or less how to do it, but it's not working and it has me very confused.
These are the steps I have followed:
- From RSSM, I have created a hierarchy authorization object including my characteristic and 0TCTAUTHH
- From RSSM again, I have created a hierarchy authorization pointing to the node $ZG_V_008
- From the Query designer, I have created a hierarchy node variable of processing type customer exit ZG_V_008 (are any special settings needed here?)
- From the Query designer, I have created another hierarchy node variable of processing type authorization, and I have used this variable to restrict the hierarchy for my characteristic
- I have edited the EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001 to watch for I_STEP = 0 and give values to ZG_V_008 (we'll get to my code later in case we solve this issue first
It is my understanding that with this setup, the user exit will be called to process the value of ZG_V_008 in I_STEP = 0, however, when debugging, I don't see any calls for the function with I_STEP = 0.
What have I done wrong?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Guillermo

Thanks, Jimmy, but that does not help much: my problem is that my user exit is not evaluated with I_STEP=0, but there are no error messages or anything like that.
I have created a test user without a developer role to see if that could have any impact, but it's still not working.
Any ideas?

Set a value for a variable of type exit

Hello,
I am filling some variables with multiple values in user exit.
Now, i would like to place some of these characteritics in Header area. It's of course impossible because there is multiple values but ...
I will put dropdown box in the web application for these chars. The problem is that by default, any value is assigned to the dropdwom ( any variable value is set).
Do you know how i can set a value for theses variable after filling all values by the user exit. SO that only one value is selected for the header and all others values available in the dropdown ?
Regards,
Jarod

Hi,
Off late, this seems to be a usual requirement.
Just create a Z program to call the FM API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_SET and then call the FM API_SEMBPS_POST.
you should be preparing the content/set value to pass to the FMs. check the whereused list to see how this FMs can be used/called.
finally, run this program for your variable, after the loading/filling the exit variable. Please note that to set 'exit' variables, the sourcing variable's content need to be read/set first before setting the exit varible.

Nataraj.

BPS Variables

Hi there
May somebody help me with the following problem: I have two variables in a BPS package and I want the second variable to show only these entries/values which are possible to select according to the combinations which are in the cube or maybe in the reference data. eg. i have the two variables, controlling area and cost center. so when I select a controlling area, I want the cost center variable only to give me these cost centers for selection which are in the selected cost area. as it's possible in BEX.
Thank's

Hi Ravi
First thanks.
If my understanding of the How To BPS Variables of Type Exit is right, then what I'm looking for is descript in chapter 1.4 / 3.6 "One variable restricts the selection of another variable". But therefore in my exemple controlling area had to be a master data attribute of cost center. But my problem is that one costcenter can be in different controlling areas, so i can't define the controlling area as a master data attribute of costcenter. So can i still use this exit variable? May someone is working with the BI-content in this issue and can give me an input from there?
Thanks again.

BPS variable exit takes more execution time

Hi,
I am having a BPS variable of type exit in the planning level and it is taking very long time to execute the layout even though my planning cube is having very little data.
Can any one tell me how to reduce the excution time of the layout .
Thanks,
Ramkumar.

Hi Ravi,
I excuted the FM in se37 with a SQL Trace and it was working fine . there are no expensive statements .
The same FM performs well if the output record count is less say 10, but taking more time when the output record count is more say 8000.
Is there any way to increase the performance of the BPS layout . or do i need to apply any notes for it.
if any one faced the same problum kindly let me know how to resolve this . your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

BPS variable F4 help

Hi,
I am having a BPS Variable of type exit and if the output records are less ,say 10 iam getting the correct records in F4 help but if the record count is high like 8000 it is returning all values in the F4 help.
Can any one tell me how to rectify this error.
Thanks,
Ramkumar

Hi Ravi,
Depending upon the planner my exit will return records. If the manager logs into the system them my exit will return 8000 records where as if a sales rep logs into the system then my exit will return 10 records and assume the records in the master data tables as 15000.
The problum is that when the output record count is 10 iam getting all the 10 values in the F4 help. if the out put record count is 8000 then i am getting all the values from the master data tables (15000 records ) irrespective of the 8000 record what exactly the exit is populating .
Even in the secound case also i want to see only the 8000 records in the F4 help not all the 15000 records.
Is there any note that had to be applied to this issue. or did i missed any thing .
Thanks,
Ramkumar

Variable type exit with two source variables

I have a case where I should determine a variable (A) value according to two other variables (B) and (C). That is, e.g.
- IF (B)=x AND (C)=y THEN (A)=z
- IF (B)=i AND (C)=j THEN (A)=k
It seems like I cannot call the user exit with more than one exported variable, the standard call below:
call function m_user_exit
exporting
    i_area      = m_area
    i_variable = m_variable
    i_chanm     = l_chanm
    ito_chanm   = mto_chanm
importing
    eto_charsel = rto_value
Any suggestions?
Regards, Aki

Thanks to everyone especially to Natarajan,
Both source variables are type exit, so I did the following:
A-variable was the standard source
B-variable was determined by function call (source below)
C-variable then determined by combination of A and B
I added this simple code in the beginning of your own logic and I had source_var_B as a B-variable.
DATA: source_var_B TYPE upc_yto_charsel.
call function 'ZDETERMINE_B'
exporting
    i_area      = 'AREA'
    i_variable = 'VAR_B'
    i_chanm     = 'CHAR_B'
    ito_chanm   = ito_chanm
importing
    eto_charsel = source_var_B.
Do you see any risks or inconsistencies or whatever I should take into account?
Aki
