InfoPackage Loads - Variable selection

I have built a BOM extractor which sits on top of an R3 customer defined table. This table is loaded each month end. Can I carry out the following:
First Load - A package which does a full load without any restrictions
Subsequent Loads - Selection via a variable, which is able to determine the amount of data for the last month before closing. If so which variable do I use and can someone provide me with step by step guidance? Thanks

Niten,
I'm thinking you doing the Genric Extractor using R/3 Table. You want to load the delta records. I think there is no date field in your Table, is there any date field which specifies when table updated? if yes you can directly implement the Generic Delta. if not, and you can't enable generic delta. Load the data on 1st of every month. keep it in process chain. schedule this PC for monthly. in the IP, write a small routine for Month IO(which you may have field in the R/3 Table).
i can't tell you exact syntax.
In the IP, type Routine(6).
write the code.. .
data:w_date(6) type n.
in between loop and endloop.
w_date = sy-datum-100.
<e_t_data>-low= w_date+0(6).
<e_t_data>-sign= 'I'.
<e_t_data>-option = 'BT'.
append <e_t_data>
all the best.

Performance issues with query input variable selection in ODS

Hi everyone
We've upgraded from BW 3.0B to NW04s BI using SP12.
There is a problem encountered with input variable selection. This happens regardless of using BEx (new or old 3.x) or using RSRT. When using the F4 search help (or "Select from list" in BEx context) to list possible values, this takes forever for large ODS (containing millions of records).
Using ST01 and SM50 to trace the code in the same query, we see a difference here:
NW04s BI SQL command
SELECT
"P0000"."COMP_CODE" AS "0000000032" ,"T0000"."TXTMD" AS "0000000032_TXTMD"
FROM
( "/BI0/PCOMP_CODE" "P0000" ) LEFT OUTER JOIN "/BI0/TCOMP_CODE" "T0000" ON "P0000"."COMP_CODE" = "T0000
"."COMP_CODE"
WHERE
"P0000"."OBJVERS" = 'A' AND "P0000"."COMP_CODE" IN ( SELECT "O"."COMP_CODE" AS "KEY" FROM
"/BI0/APY_PP_C100" "O" )
ORDER BY
"P0000"."COMP_CODE" ASC#
BW 3.0B SQL command:
SELECT ROWNUM < 500 ....
In 3.0B, rownum is limited to 500 and this results in a speedy, though limited query. In the new NW04s BI, this renders the selection screen unusable as ABAP dumps for timing out will occur first due to the large data volume searched using sequential read.
It will not be feasible to create indexes for every single query selection parameter (issues with oerformance when loading, space required etc.). Is there a reason why SAP seems have fallen back on a less effective code for this?
I have tried to change the number of selected rows to <500 in BEx settings but one must reach a responsive screen in order to get to that setting and it is not always possible or saved for the next run.
Anyone with similar experience or can provide help on this?

here is a reason why the F4 help on ODS was faster in BW 3.x.
In BW 3.x the ODS did not support the read mode "Only values in
InfoProvider". So If I compare the different SQL statements I propose
to change the F4 mode in the InfoProvider specific properties to
"About master data". This is the fastest F4 mode.
As an alternative you can define indexes on your ODS to speed up F4.
So would need a non-unique index on InfoObject 0COMP_CODE in your ODS

Package LOAD INFOPROVIDER, Select input ENTITY

Hye.
I'm using LOAD INFOPROVIDER package and I would like to usu SELECTINPUT for ENTITY.
I know that I can introduce the Entity selected in the Transformation File in SELECTION propertie (ej: SELECTION=ENTITY,E00089) but i would like to usu SELECTINPUT in the package.
I unclude the next codigo in the package but It doesn´t work. I think that SELECTION is not a properties of this packages.
TASK(/CPMB/INFOPROVIDER_CONVERT,SELECTION,%SELECTION%)
TASK(/CPMB/APPEND_LOAD,SELECTION,%SELECTION%)
Any idea?
Can i use %SELECTION% variable in the Transformation File properties (e: SELECTION = ENTITY,%SELECTION%)

Hi,
The Variable %SELECTION% in a data manager package is used to set to the property SELECTION in the RUNLOGIC of the process chain.
Which inturn helps in setting the scope for the Script Logic connected to that process chain.
If you are checking the process chain for Load Info Provider you dont have any process for Logic execution and in this case you dont have any option for setting some variable and sending it to transformation file. As transformation file itself is a variable got from the user prompt in the package.
Hope this helps,

Multiple Custom Variable Selection.

Hello
We have a situation where we need to provide, during the variable selection screen, the ability for the user to select from a list of custom grouping of materials.
Ex
   Material Group 1
   Material Group 2
   Material Group 10
Each of the above custom groups should already store, during the query design stage, a set of materials. The user will then simply select one of these groupings when she executes the report.
Dorothy

Hi Dorothy
You could create a hierarchy on the material characteristic and set up the 10 groupings, either directly in BI or load it from a flat file.
Link: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0e/fd4e3c97f6bb3ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm]
Then in the query just create a hierarchy node variable on material and reference the hierarchy you have just created, at the prompt the user can then select the desired material grouping.

Movie refuses to load variables from text file

Hi,
I'm sure you can solve my newbie problem in less than 1
minute...
I'm pulling my hair out on a template I bought 2 days ago
from templatemonster.com
I am using Flash 8 Pro.
All I want to do is change an existing textfield that is
Static to Dynamic and load variables from a text file.
The Action Script I use to do so comes directly from
Macromedia documentation (see attached)
It works fine when I create a brand new movie, but doesn't do
anything when inserted into the template.
It doesn't even complain about not finding the text file if I
rename or delete it!
Here are the FLA and text file:
Edit : Link to source file removed
The textfield I would like to change is in the txt2 symbol.
Here is how I proceed:
When I open HEADER.FLA, Flash tells me I'm missing a font,
ok, so I click on Use Default, I'll deal with this later.
I open up the Movie Explorer, go to Layer 30, go to Frame 75
and click once on txt2
I name the instance "myMovie_mc" and save (converts from
Flash MX to Flash 8)
I double-click on the Movie Clip, select the word
"Automobile" on the Stage, change from Static to Dynamic and call
that instance "myText_txt"
Still in the Movie Clip, I create a new layer I call
"actions", and in Frame 1 I copy the attached Action Script:
This script works when I create a new flash file, but it does
absolutely nothing in this template.
I know I'm doing something wrong, but I wonder what?
Many thanks to any helping soul!
Ferris.

try this:
// Load text as variable and assign it to the
// dynamic text field
var features_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
features_lv.onLoad = onText();
features_lv.load("safetyFeatures.txt");
function onText(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
myText_txt.text = features_lv.safetyfeatures;
} else {
myText_txt.text = "unable to load text file.";
or this
// Load text as variable and assign it to the
// dynamic text field
var features_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
features_lv.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {

no, that's not a reason you would use a class file.
anyway, your document class variables are defined on the main timeline so to reference them from any timeline you can use:
MovieClip(root).w36; // for example (but it's really undesirable to have coding in more than one timeline)

How to add customize message on the variable selection screen in the query

Hi all,
Can we add an customise message on the variable selection screen in the query? If yes please let me know how it can be achevied?
Thanks,
Rani

Hi Rani,
I faced a similar issue (for what I understand your request is).
My requirement for the Variable Screen was to do:
1) place a link to a ppt file
2) remove buttons "Save", "Save As...), "Delete"... the standard buttons come when running the Query or WebTempl
We were using a Web Templ for BI7.0
I struggled trying to find out how to do it. My conclusions are:
- WAD, not sure we can accomplish it using a Web Template but i did not "play" a lot with the Web_Template Properties in order to know
- XHTML, I was told in my post HTML modification was the way, but I have close to nil background in HTML and couold not find the way of accessing the Variable Entry screen
For instance, I had to remove similar buttons and change some font size from a link on the Web Template (WAD), which was pretty straight forward. In WAD the buttons come with its own icon and to increase the Font size for that link we used XHTML (). But the heck of the variable screen...well, i just did not get trhough to it to modify it in any way.
Good luck,
Definetly in a Query I would say that no.

Variable Selections in BEx Query Variants

I am trying to save a variant for a BEx query that uses a floating date range. I want the date range to move with the calendar. I r/3 this is done with the variable selection. In BW 3.5, I don't see how this is possible. I only see options for TVARVC which are user exit selections. Can someone point me in the right direction.
Regards,
Kevin B

Hi Kevin
Your requirment is that date range should move with calendar (ex. In first week , the date range should be from 1 to 7 of the current month & in second week the date range should be from 1 to 15 of current month) ...if it is like this then you can go ahead with - create a variable and do the coding with sydatum (system date ) and embed the required logic. But if your requirement is completely random then you can not use this.
Hope this helps

UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION when a user is executing a variable selection in WT

Hi Experts,
There is strange problem to one User, when ever she uses the Varibale selection for 0FUNCT_LOC in Portal, the systems throws the below UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION, in the Webtemplate screen.
When i Checked that is displayed in *Root Cause*, it is showing as follows.
" The initial exception that caused the request to fail was:
Termination message sent
ABEND RSBOLAP (000): Program error in class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
MSGV1: SAPMSSY1

And other messages that were displayed are below.
ABEND: Program error in class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
ABEND: System error in program CL_RSBOLAP_VARIABLE_CHARACTERI and form No hierarchy available (see long text)
Here the problem is that, while others users have no problem with the same Webtemplate,that is there is no exception raised for Functional location for them (And also when i checked from my side in Webtemplate, there was no problem displayed at my side too )
But when We created the copy of the user id (With same roles and profiles) again it has showed the same problem again.
We also checked in the Roles and Authorizations for that user, but could find no problem.
Also the user is able to access the Function Loaction variable selection in Bex Analyzer without any problems.
But only when she uses the selection in Portal she is getting UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION.
Could anyone please help me how to trace where the problem is, and why it is happening only for that user.
And when there is no problem at Bex Analyzer side, why the exception is raised at Portal.
Thanks in advance for helping
Regards
Raghu

Thanks Javier,
But it could not help me to fix the issue, the problem occurs to only one user, when she selects Functional Location variable (Hierarchy Infoobject) in Portal. For me and others we do not have problem, but when i copy replica that user id with problem, and execute at my side i too see the same problem, any idea why?
Do we need to do any user specific configuration at portal side, for case of Hier Infoobject variables incase?.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

ABAP routine in the infopackage for Multiple Selection

Hi experts,
I want to include a abap routine in the infopackage for Multiple Selection so that I can fetch only the required Material Numbers when the InfoPackage is schedule. As I have the constraints that I have to select certain Material Numbers only, that are not in series - so I cannot select"BT' fuction. Tell me what ABAP Code will work in this scenario.
Kind regards,
Rajesh Giribuwa

Hi,
The Routine will have to use 'EQ' operator and Append each selections to the Structure.

How to include text lable in Variable selection screen (Web Reporting)

Hi Experts,
I have created one query and in Web Report-->variable selection screen I have one Date field for that field I have to display a label stating that user to input date in the format YYYY.MM(like a text label).Actually I have created 10 to 12 report . I need u r suggestion such that a single change will reflect my requirement in all the reports and I have created all the reports for same multiprovider.
Thanks in Advance
Yours,
Bala

Bala,
Prompts can originate from one of two places: either via Designer and using the @prompt functionality or while creating the report building a prompt in the Query Filters panel. If the prompt was built using the @prompt method, and all 10-12 reports are using that particular @prompt, then one change via Designer will cause all reports to reflect the new verbiage. If you built the 10-12 reports using the prompt in the second scenario, then each individual report needs to be opened, modified and then saved. If you must use the latter method, then you can open the first report, modify the prompt verbiage, then highlight the new verbiage with your mouse and hit Control-C (which copies that text to the Clipboard of your Windows system). Then go to the second report, locate the verbiage that needs to be changed, delete it, then Control-V (which pastes), and voila, some keyboarding strokes are saved....
Thanks,
John

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.

SAPGUI 640 patch 19, BEX SAP BW 3.x, , Netweaver04 - No variable selection

The above in subject line is installed. Checked the installation w/sapbexc.xla, no major issues, all components were selected during frontend install. When the BEX Browser is launched I connect to BW and I select a report a Visual Basic error "Run-time error '91' Object variable or With block variable not set" occurs. Excel is opened but the expected variable selection screen does not appear. In addition to the above the BW addon patches 8 and 9 are installed and a couple of entries made into the PC registry per note 542961. SAPGUI works well for everything else as far as I can tell. What have I missed to make this work? prkctybum

Ive attempted to use .NET 2s storeadm /LIST command to pull the BEXAddin info from the IsolatedStorage Assembly where it keeps a record of the bexaddin.dll information. However the record it keeps is of no help. The file path:
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Application Data\IsolatedStorage\x1smiiqw.qws\p1vq0mkf.2u2\Url.fc1l2xts4acc5iv3nxl2uoy0btkfeen5\AssemFiles\BExAddin.xml
is not kept here, or anywhere else that I can find. Im going to have to do this the hard way and build something to check if IsolatedStorage exists, if so, query the folder structure, and check to see if the BEXADDIN.XML has been built, if it has, rewrite the legacy option. If it doesnt exist, thats the BIG issue, well have to initiate Excel to run the BExAnalyzer that way it generates the IsolatedStorage and then repeat the above. The problem is that running Excel without the customer realizing that Im running it is kinda tricky, whats worse is that this would have to run for every user on a machine, and thats impossible to do without everyones password, so essentially, this would only work for the logged on user, or what USD perceives as the logged on user, and since USD runs under the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account thats what it will see as the current user. So, long story short, I dont think I can automate a fix for this.
So, while I could query every existing users folder structure within IsolateStorage, I cannot guarantee that theyve run BEX once to generate the folder structure for themselves in order for me to patch it. We could force BEX open after pushing SAP, but again, it would open for the SYSTEM account, not a real user. The only way to automate is to get the customer involved and have them run BEX one time, but how would we know to then push the fix
