How to transport BEX variants in BI?

Hi,
after the bw-upgrade we have problems with the transport of our variants created in BEX. In BW 3.1 we used saplsvar ( with report-id and variantname) to create a transport. But this doesn't work with BI. Does anyone know which parameter saplsvar need to create a transport in BI?- Or which other alternativ exists to transport a variant.
Thanx in advance.

Hi,
the new variants will be stored only in RSRVARIANT, but not in the VARID. In VARID are only the variants saved in 3.x version.
But how can I transport RSRVARIANT; its a SAP-table?
I'm looking for a program like RSTRANSP, because this program will not work with BI.

How to transport Query variant used in APD

Hello Experts,
I have created 2 query variants for a query in Development system. And, these variants are being used in APD. Now, when APD is transported to next system, query variants does not exist in next system, so cannot execute APD.
Please let me know how can i transport the query variants.
Note: Gone through SDN, and found, query variants can be transported through some tables.
Please let me any other possibile sloutions for the same.
Thanks
Lavanya

Hi Lavanya,
To the best of my knowledge, you cannot transport query variants. You have to manually create them in each system. The reason being, when you try to create variants through RSRT -> Query Variants, you are basically trying to create variants for a temporary program generated during run time!
These run time programs do not have TADIR entries (not transportable) and hence any sub elements (like variants) created on these programs are not transportable as well.
Actually you can export variants.Please follow the below steps:
1. Go To TCode SE38.
2. Execute "RSTRANSP".
3. Input your program name.
4. Input your variant name ie. "Z**** ".
5. Execute.
6. Click on continue.
7. You should be able to create a new transport at this point.
Hope It Helps,
Thanks,
Amit Kr.

How to transport a transaction variant and her related screen variant?

Hello to every SDN member,
I am looking to transport a transaction variant and the related screen variants.
I read the help and I am concerned by the paragraph about the Client-specific transaction variants because when I created the transaction variant, no dialog box appeared.
In the paragraph about the Client-specific transaction variants, it is told to transport the variants with the Transport function but the problem is that I cannot find it. How can I use this function? It is not in the toolbar and not in the differents menus.
Can you please give me the solution to transport the transaction variant and the screen variant?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,
Matthieu Chérier

Hi,
You can transport a variant by :
1. Running the program RSTRANSP. Mention your program and variant name there.
2.Create a variant with prefix 'CUS&'. This type of variants will be automatically transported to target system through transport request.
3.Go to Se38 --> Input report name --> Select Variants
On the screen --> Go to Utilities -> Select transport request
--> Provide the program name and Variant --> Assign Transport request to variant. Then release the transport.
Regards.

How to transport variant deletion

Hi All,
I need to delete some variants from various systems like development box, SIT and UAT systems also.
I have deleted the variant from the dev. system but now when I try to put it in the transport request, I am getting the message that the variant does not exist.
I am unable to put the variant deletion in a transport request.
Please someone help me in deleting the variants from the SIT and UAT systems... How do I transport the variant deletion..?

Hi,
Try to re-create the variant in the Development system with the same name and put the object in a request. After this you can delete it in the development system. This way your deletion should get transported to other systems.
This may also depend on your configuration. You might have to delete the variants manually in each system.
Best Regards,
Martin

How to transport variants of queries

Hi all,
I'd like to know the way to transport report variants of queries.
Trying to execute queries, you can find a "Available Variants" field on the top of Variable Entry pages of report (query). With this feature, you can save the settings of variable that you enter and re-use the settings by using saved variants.
We make lots of variants and want to transport them. But I'm not sure how to transport them. (I tried to find those objects in Transport Connection window of RSA1, but I cannot find...)

Hi,
query variants are stored in table RSRVARIANT.
You should transport the table contents(via SE16 or SE10).
If you upgraded from 3.x, make sure you converted the variants by running report RSR_VARIANT_XPRA.

How to transport variant?

hi,
can anyone tell how to transport variant?

Hi Rakhi Bose
you can create a transport request in SE38 for the variants of a program. You could then use transaction SCC1 to copy those changes from one client to another.
To create transport:
1) Go to transaction SE38 and enter the program name.
2) Click the radio button next to the "Variants" subobject and click the "Change" button
3) On "ABAP: Variants" screen, select menu path "Utilities -> Transport request"
4) Enter the variant(s) you want to copy into the "Variant name" box.
5) Click the execute button and save the data to a new change request.
To copy to new client:
1) Log on to target client and goto transaction SCC1.
2) Enter the source client and change request number from above.
3) Click the execute button.
Please note that if you're doing this in a downstream system (i.e. not a development box) you may need to change the client settings temporarily to carry out the client to client copy in SCC1.

How to transport a deleted query?

I have deleted one query in developmeny system. I thought it will ask for tranport request.But it did not ask for any transport requast.Now it is deleted from development system.Please let me know how to transport this change in production?

Hi Saikat,
Was this query transported to the prod system, or created directlyin prod? If you have transported the query, you would not be able to delete without first assigning a transport request to the BEx dev class...check if there is any request assigned to the BEx dev class (RSA1 > transport connection)
Hope this helps...

How to create process variant in process chain

What is a process variant? i try to add Infocube compression to the fi process chain. To accomplish this task, i have to create process variant. please tell me the step by step process how to create process variant and successfully add the compression to the process chain. Can i do it directly in production? Thanks to SDN community that i can count on.

Hi Rafi,
<b>Process variants</b>
The process variant is the name of the process Within the process chain context, it displays the configuration of a process of a particular type set at the time of definition. A variant is only consistently defined together with the process type. A process can have various variants. With the load process for example, the name of the InfoPackage is the name of the process variant.
The user defines the process variant at the time when the process is scheduled. With some process types, the variants are determined internally and are stored as GUIDs.

You can create process chains directly in Production. Most of the times system allows(depends on system settings). But this is not a proper way of working. Create in Development and transport it to Production.

Generate BEx Variant with ABAP

I would like to create lot of BEx Variant automaticlly on a Workbook. But now, I just found the Variant stored in table VARID(ID) , VARIT (Text) , VARI ( ? ) and TRDIR .
But the data which stored in these tables are not I want.
How could I do this ?
Thank you.

Liang,
What is the version of BW/BI (3.x or 2004s) you are using?
In BW 3.x these are stores in VARI & VARID
In BI 2004s these are in RSRVARIANT & RSRVARIANTDIR
You can look athe function modules RS_VARIANT_CREATE, RS_VARIANT_DELETE and RS_VARIANT_EXISTS.
But if you are using 2004s , forget it these functions are not useful anymore.because when you create variants in 2004s they gets stored in RSRVARIANT & RSRVARIANTDIR, but the function modules are looking at VARI & VARID tables.
Hope this helps.
