InfoSpoke data selection using variables in BW 3.5?

Hi Gang!
Can InfoSpokes select data using variables in BW 3.5?
I would like create a "functional" delta process using an Full mode load and a variable to select "yesterday" from a date field. My ETL and external database partners would prefer to not deal with multiple before and after images from a single document item from a ODS. I was hoping I could use a variable selection against a date-time stamp, but I don't see how.
AM I be forced to use a BADI?
Thanks,
John Hawk

One crude option would be to add an ABAP step prior to the infospoke execution, in this step code can be added to modify the corresponding record in table RSBSPOKESELSET (for selection values on date/time characteristics).

Several single value selection in InfoPackage Data selection using Routine

Hi,
I am trying to extract data from a table(containing Ticket data) in R/3 using Generic extractor with table. As the table is not supporting the delta functionality i have to do daily full load for more than 5 lak records.
I dont want all the tickets from R/3, i just need the tickets which are open. Unfortunately there is no field in R/3 table which indicates Ticket status. But in BW i have a DSO where i can get the tickets along with their status.
Now what i want to do is:
in the Infopackage i want to give the dataselection for ticket, whose status is open which will be calculated in ABAP code by lookup to the DSO. Is this possible?
I know that in ABAP routine for Data selection we can give single values and range values. but here i just want to give several single values. That means if suppose i have 4 tickets T1,T2,T3,T4 in the DSO and if T1 and T4 are open tickets, then i have to get the data from R/3 just for T1 and T4.
in the above case if we use range then the low and high values in the range will be T1 and T4 respectively and the data pulled from R/3 will be from T1 - T4 ie all T1,T2,T3 & T4. but i need just T1 and T4.
Please share your ideas. also please send the code as i am not an ABAPer.
If Several single value selection is not possible at least send the code for the range values.
Thanks,
Cnu.

you can write a code like this in the ABAP routine in data selection in front of ticket characteristic
types: Begin of s_ticket,
     ticket type <type of ticket characterisitcs>,
      End of s_ticket.
data: l_idx like sy-tabix,
      wa_ticket type s_ticket,
      it_ticket type standard table of s_ticket,
      l_s_range type rsrdrange.
You can declare
read table l_t_range with key
     fieldname = '<your field name for ticket>'.
l_s_range-infoobject = '<infoobject name>'.
l_s_range-fieldname = '<field name of ticket cahracteristics>'.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-option = 'EQ'.
select * from <ODS active table> into table it_ticket where status = <value for open status>.
if sy-subrc = 0.
     loop at it_ticket into wa-ticket.
          l_s_range-low = wa_ticket-ticket.
          append l_s_range to l_t_range.
     endloop.
end if.
p_subrc = 0.
you need to modify it as per your requirements, i hope this might help you.

Date selection using inputfield

Hi,
In my WebDynpro application, I have a InputField which I have mapped to the date context element.
When I click on selecting the date...It always points to the current (today's) date. But I want to point to the first day of the month. Please advice me how can I do that? And let me know if I can add background color to that...
Regards,
Umapathi

Hi
Check this thread.Same issue is discussed .
Re: Set date in a date field

Custom Date Selection

Hi,
Can the behaviour of date selection using af:selectInputDate or af:chooseDate be changed?
We want the user to use af:selectInputDate (or af:chooseDate) to select a date from a list of dates.
Dates that are not in the provided list should be disabled (i.e., no hyperlink to click).
Because of the large number of valid dates, we cannot use an af:selectOneChoice.
Thanks for any ideas!

Hi,
"I take it there will also be a way to change the look and feel of disabled dates through CSS? "
form where do you take this ? I don't see Shay mentioning this. The disabled dates can be skinned, but they don't support overlay images

Using variable date in a VIEW

Can I create a view in Oracle whereby the date I use to select the records can be a variable?
For example:
select * from marketer_account
where '30-NOV-2009' between mka_eff_dt and mka_exp_dt
and mka_service_type = 'E';
I want to get a list of all records on the marketer account table that were active on 30-NOV-2009.
But more importantly the users want a view that they can run every month to get this information, so in another month we may need the same query but:
select * from marketer_account
where '31-DEC-2009' between mka_eff_dt and mka_exp_dt
and mka_service_type = 'E';
So I want to replace the '31-DEC-2009' with a generic date. I tried this:
select *
from marketer_account
where last_day(add_months(sysdate,-2)) between mka_eff_dt and mka_exp_dt
and mka_service_type = 'E';
This will take the last day of 2 months ago from current: ie. If they run it now, they will get 31-JAN-2010 here.
Is this OK to do? Or is there a better way? Maybe the users want to change the date and run it for a date of their choosing?

Hi,
Besides SYS_CONTEXT, you can also store the base date in a table. If you make it a Global Temporary Table, then different sessions can use different parameters at the same time. You can even have multiple copies of the the same view in the same query, all with different parameters.
If the variable date is always the same distance from today's date, then you can simply use SYSDATE in the view.
For example, to find what was active on the last day of the month 3 months ago:
select *
from marketer_account
where   ADD_MONTHS (TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'MONTH'), -2) -1
        between mka_eff_dt
        and     mka_exp_dt
and     mka_service_type = 'E';If you run this any time in March, 2010, it gets the same results as:
select *
from marketer_account
where   TO_DATE ('31-Dec-2009', 'DD-Mon-YYYY')
        between mka_eff_dt
        and     mka_exp_dt
and     mka_service_type = 'E';but in April, it's as if the magic date was automatically changed to '31-Jan-2010'.

The sme variable in data selection of inpopackage and value in transfer rul

Hello
I would like to use the same variable in data selection of infopackage (1) and as a value in transfer rules (2).
Example :
If I pass 1 I want to see value1 in data selection of infopackage (1) and as a value in transfer rules (2).
If I pass 2 I want to see value2 in data selection of infopackage (1) and as a value in transfer rules (2).
How is possible?

Hi Aleks,
In the transfer routine your code would be something similar to this:
zvar is a variable
select LOW from RSLDPSEL into zvar where LOGDPID = '<Technical name of Infopackage>' and IOBJNM = '<The Info-object whose value you want to use>'.
*Now assign the value
RESULT = zvar.
Hope this helps.
Bye

Problem in SELECT TAG using variables

Hi all,
I have a JSP page which updates the record for a user.Now there is a HTML select tag and when the user queries its data this SELECT tag will automaticaly select the user stored item in database automatically. It means the select tag will have a variable to select the options. Now how can i use variables in SELECT TAG. Please help needed.

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but here goes.
First, are you able to populate the select box with all the names... this is what it sounds like to me.
Or are you not able to populate it nor select it.
I use JSTL for all my jsps... so for me I would store a collection on the form and then iterate through it. (arrayList being my preference)
look into using <c:forEach> or you could try <logic:iterate> which I've used before but it has been several years.
here is an example block of code.
Sorry this is going to be a bit convoluted because of what I'm doing with it..
but I have an ArrayList that contains string arrays... position 0 being the value I want returned (like 1 through 10) and position 1 being the text representation..
so it comes out like
1 - Option 1
2 - Option 2
You will notice the if statement where I check to see if the localList[0] is equal to the view field. view would be your selected value.
<SELECT name="view" size="7"
     multiple="multiple" class='OmniDlgLabel'>
               <c:if test="${sessionScope.PHI2Form.localList!=null}">
                    <c:forEach var="localList"
                         items="${sessionScope.PHI2Form.localList}" varStatus="status">
                         <OPTION value='<c:out value="${localList[0]}"/>'
                                   <c:if test="${sessionScope.PHI2Form.view==localList[0]}">SELECTED</c:if>>
                         <c:out value="${localList[0]}"/>-<c:out value="${localList[1]}" /></OPTION>
                    </c:forEach>
               </c:if>
</SELECT></TD>There is an extra > that I cannot get rid of.. should be there after the
<OPTION value='<c:out value="${localList[0]}"/>'

Useful data selection abap routines

Hello Experts,
Can you advise where I could reference useful abap routines for data selection in infopaks? I desperately need these to help meet specific requirements.
Thanks,
Ernest Corvino

Dear Ernesta,
Infopackage->DataSelection->After from and to values you see a column called type, write '6' and enter.. it asks for ABAP routine ..
The following are taken on F1 over there for you..
In this field you determine the variables for periodic data loading.
If you want to load the data periodically from the source system into BW, and you want selection field contents (such as date fields) to change periodically, please choose one of the following F4 options:
For data fields:
get yesterday
Yesterday's date is automatically set in the date field.
get last week
Last week is automatically set in the date field.
get last month
Last month is automatically set in the date field.
get last quarter
Last quarter is automatically set in the date field.
get last year
Last year is automatically set in the date field.
free selection
You can also change other fields periodically as you wish. You can find further information in the documentation under Scheduler.

Hari

OLAP variable for data selection

hi all ,
can any own explain how the OLAP variable is used for data selection in the info package. how the value is changing in the Variable.
thanks in advance
rajan

Hi Rajan,
You will not be entering any date value. As Dirk mentions, the value will be filled into the variable by way of an exit, i.e. automatic processing according to some code.
Like your date variable can get you the first of the previous month from the exit processing.
Hope this helps...

Data types used in a sub VI - selecting the correct input and output types?

data types used in a sub VI - selecting the correct input and output types?
I can never work out how to choose an input or output format for Subvi's.
I want to create a SubVI for the code in red. I needs an VI Server Reference compatible input and an output that goes to a waveform.
Thanks in advance.

GerdW,
I realise now I have taken us in the wrong direction. apologies for that.
History, this is not my code and I do not own the process and NOT my preferred method of using it. I was looking for a simple way to make subtle changes.
What we do - We use these programs to collect data from typically 6 pressures and 6 temperature probes and capture RS232 / USB VISA strings from sensors.
So every few weeks / months or up to a year we rearrange each sensor location to suit the new process. I did not write the code. I cannot change the procedure too much without resistance.
So headers in the CSV file have the DaqMX string passed through the code. Great.
Other data to the CSV file comes from calculations or extracted from the VISA string. Hence why we have headers with "Untitled 1 ()". These values also go to a History Chart.
So I was looking for a simple way to read the the local variable label as it is always linked to the front page indicator. People can cope with editing the indicator label, save the VI and hit run.
TL;DR - GerdW is now a psychologist.

Using variables to insert data in the table

I want to insert datas in the table. I use constants,
all the constants are stored properly in the table. But,
when I use variables I get the error message
"Too few parameters. expected 6".
(I declared all the fields of the table as text only.)
My program is "newt.jsp"
<%@ page language="java" import="java.sql.*" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>storing customer information in the database</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
String cno1 = request.getParameter("cno");
String n1 = request.getParameter("n");
String add11 = request.getParameter("add1");
String add21 = request.getParameter("add2");
String phone1 = request.getParameter("phone");
String email1 = request.getParameter("email");
Connection con = null;
try {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:customer"," "," ");
Statement statement1 = con.createStatement();
Statement statement2 = con.createStatement();
statement2.executeUpdate("create table cust1 (cno varchar(20),n varchar(20),add1 varchar(20),add2 varchar(20),phone varchar(20),email varchar(20))");
statement1.executeUpdate("insert into cust1 (cno,n,add1,add2,phone,email) values(cno1,n1,add11,add21,phone1,email1)");
catch(SQLException sqle) {
System.err.println(sqle.getMessage());
catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
System.err.println(cnfe.getMessage());
catch(Exception e) {
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
finally {
     try {
     if(con!=null) {
          con.close();
catch(SQLException sqle) {
System.err.println(sqle.getMessage());
%>
<br><br>
Mr./Ms. <%=n1 %> <br>
Your datas have been stored.<br>
</body>
</html>
Those who know answer please reply.
My thanks in advance.

I would expect your insert statement to be this:
statement1.executeUpdate("insert into cust1 (cno,n,add1,add2,phone,email) values('"+cno1+"','"+n1+"','"+add11+"','"+add21+"','"+phone1+"','"+email1+"')");
If you just create a string, it's not going to fill in variables into the string by magic.

How to use variables in data slices?

Hello,
in BI-IP I have tried to use variables in a data slice.
The user should fill these variables.
How can one use and fill these variables?
Thank you
Daniel

Hello Horst,
data slice is a very strong system lock. It is normally not a good decission to allow users to control this part becuse it sould be in administration of a responsible person.
If you allow users in the web to open or close data slices, this is like a "open period" funtion in financials: Think about what could happen, if anyone else than the responsible person could do that....
This is my point of view.
I would do it in anoter way: Create an User exit and fill a variable like desribed above. You read each line and make a decission whether the user might see this line or not (e. g. period open? yes or no?). The period and the status for the period could be maintained in a table or in a characteristic. table might be easier.
regards
Eckhard

Error while using selection option variable in the selection screen

Hi All,
I am facing an issue while using selection option variable in the selection screen for one of my reports.
Scenario: For the field "Region From" we need to have wild card logic () in tes selection screen, for example if we put "BE" in the selection screen for the field Region From then the query should be executed only for those "Region From" values which begin from "BE".
Approach: For the above requirement I have made a selection option variable for "Region From". This allows use wild card
But when the report is executed we get the following error:
"System error in program CL_RSR_REQUEST. Invalid filter on ETVRGNFR".
(ETVRGNFR is technical name of the info object Region From)
Though the report is executed it displays all the values for the field "Region From" irrespective of the selection given in the selection screen.
Please give suggestions / alternate solutions to crack this issue.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Priyanka.

Hi,
Try to use a variable of type Customer Exit and do the validation inside the exit to display according to your request.
This is just my view, i am not sure if u are already using this or Char. Variable.
