Input screen for Variable in Bex

Hi ,
I have created variable based on calender month and this variable is used in reports,but for this variable i am unable to get the input screen where as when iam trying to execute same report in RSRT it is allowing me to enter the date.
Its lots of time for my query to exeute for 6 months data , i tried creating indexes , aggregates and partition on the cube but it did not help out for me to resolve this issue. Did anyone face similar kind of issue , if yes could you tell me what u have done or can be done to resolve this issue.
Thanks

Hi Sonu,
Yes the properties of the web template has to be changed in the WAD.
When this property is not enabled the query executes for all the data in the infocube and hence it takes lot of time because the variable entry is ignored.
There is two solution to eliminate the problem.
1. Please make this variable mandatory ( if you are allowed to. because some variabele are not liked to be mandatory by the user.)
2. Change the property of the Webtemplate.
Open the template that contains the query in WAD.
in the properties Window click on the drop down box to view the property of the web template.
if your are using WAD 7.0 do as follows
go to web template parameters tab.
under the section behaviour u have an option called Display variable.
enable it.
incase u use WAD 3.5 do as follows.
in the properties window click on the  Web item tab.
under the section general u have an option called force variable screen.
enable it.
i guess this may help you.
Regards.
Shafi.

  • Rectrict list of possible values for variable in Bex

    Hello folks!
    I need to give a user possibility to choose only few value for variable in Bex report. Number of entries in master data is huge. I need to show only 7 possible values in the window with variables.

    Amy,
    You have a tricky requirement but I can only think of one thing but it would require user training. Try the following.
    You can setup a new variable with default values and define it as type multiple single values.
    The user could in the variable screen would then need to take out the ones that are not needed.
    Hope this helps.

  • Timeout on input help for variable

    hi all,
    in a selection screen of a report i have material and material type(navigational attribute of material) as input.
    the report is built on cube.
    only material is coming in cube.
    when i click on input help for material type the screen hangs on the report times out.
    whereas on the other hand if i am clicking help for material i am getting the values.
    this variable is used in other queries on different infoprovider and is running fine there.
    How do i get the values for input help for material type.
    all the standard settings have been maintained(such as query filter selection etc...)
    regards,
    Arvind.

    Hi,
    Activate 0material masterdata.and Regenerate your query in RSRT.
    If the problem still exists then debug the query using RSRT for the perticular field output.
    Thanks

  • Variable Screen for 3.5 BEx Queries In EP 6.0 Iviews

    Friends,
    Does anyone know how to force the variable screen in an EP 6.0 Iview based on a 3.x BW.  I have a query written in Web BEx with several optional variables.  When I launch this from Web BEx it stops at the variable screen.
    The problem is that when I run this query from an Iview in EP 6.0 it bypasses the variable screen and goes directly to the data.  In the web application designer I can set the flag to force the variable screen, is there a similar feature in Web BEx or is there a parameter setting in the iView that would work?
    Thanks

  • Sort values in input help for variables

    Hi there,
    Users often get annoyed by the input help in our web-reports. As the data in the InfoProvider grows, the variable values in the input help screens gets over-populated.
    Often old values (eg. 0CALMONTH) are displayed first and users have to scroll trough 8 blocks of values before they get the value they are looking for.
    It is kind of a practical issue, but does any of you know how to <b>sort</b> the values in the input help screen?
    Kind regards,
    Hans de Klein

    Hi Hans,
    I can suggest you one way but i am not sure it will work in your scenario.
    Where ever you have used variables. Lets say 0CALMONTH.
    You must have restricted this with some variable.
    Goto The Property of 0CALMONTH(By right clicking) and check the sort property.Also select you want to sort on Key/Text.
    Hope it helps.

    Hi,
    The input help only offers values for which you can select data in the current navigational state
    Check the below link ,

  • Report Painter - Ordering the way variables appear on the input screen

    On the user input screen for a report, the variables for things such as Year, Period, Company Code, Profit Center......they do not always show up on the user input screen in the order that they are placed in the report.  Is there a way to change the order in which they appear ?  For example, if the default order on the user input screen is :
                   Company Code:
                   Year:
                   Profit Center:
                   Period:
    Is there a way to make the order different, such as:
                   Year:
                   Period:
                   Company Code:
                   Profit Center:
    Thanks..............

    Hi John,
    Go to Menu - > Edit -> Variation
    You can set the order of the Selection Screen fields there.
    Hope this helps you

  • Filter value for variable selection screen

    Hi & help !,
    This could be a tricky or an easy question, but it seems too hard for me !
    I'm storing version in my cube, and have a report which shows informations for the version you select (with a variable = ZVERSION01).
    ex :  Version :
    V01
    V02
    V03
    V04
    When report is executed i have my variable selection screen (for variable ZVERSION01) which give all version [V01 -> V04]. But i want users have no access to version V01 & V02.
    Variable ZVERSION01 is "single selection", i tried to filter with Default Values screen or Characteristic Restriction screen but it doesn't work.
    ex : caracterisitic restriction screen : VERSION = !V01 / !V02
          default value screen : variable VERSION = ZVERSION01
    Any idea?
    Thx

    Hi,
    In BI 7.0 there is Anaylysis authorisation RSECADMIN transaction. That you can use here or normal role concept will also do.
    What you need to do is grant authorisation to the users for V03 and 04 version only and create 'Authorisation' type variable on version in the query. (type of variable - it asks while creating the variable). This way users will only be able to see authorised versions only.
    Note you have to make version infoobject as Authorisation relevent infoobject. ( in infoobject properties).
    Let me knw if you have any doubt.

  • Get input and display output on same screen for report

    Hi frnds,
    two params
    that is mat.no,desc.
    enter the mat.no and also display the description of that mat.no in same input screen for the report.
    How can i archieve .
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    It is not possible in Dialog Programming too. But there is an alternative. You can make the material number field as drop down. Assign a function code to that. Now in PAI you can code accordingly to display the description.
    In TOP.
    TABLES: mara, makt.
    DATA  gv_maktx TYPE makt-maktx.
    In PAI.
    CASE sy-ucomm.
    WHEN 'F_MATNO'        "function code assigned to the material number drop down field
         SELECT SINGLE maktx
          FROM makt
          INTO gv_maktx
          WHERE matnr = mara-matnr. " mara-matnr is the dictionary reference to the material number drop down field in the screen.
          makt-maktx = gv_maktx.    " makt-maktx is the dictionary reference to the material description field in the screen.
    ENDCASE.
    Thanks,

  • ESS Business Package - W4 Input Screen - Non Resident Alient option

    I've been asked to create a specific input screen for NonResident Alient(on W4 screen) of current ESS standard solution, this is an official request that came from IRS(government rule), and SAP provided it in some notes. We have this notes on current SP, but I don't know where exactly I can customize this option to appear on W4 view.
    Is there any way I can do this through configuration rather than developing an enhancement?
    Thanks,

    Hi all, do you have some idea on that case? OSS notes were applied, I just don't know where I can customize this option.

  • How to edit the properties for existing variables in BEX query, so that I can get multiple input selections

    Dear fellow developers,
    I'm trying to edit an existing variable using BEX query, so that it can allow multiple input selections.
    As you can see in the screenshot attached, the option is selectable during creation.
    However, during editing of an existing field, this field (Details -> Basic Settings -> Variable Represents) is not selectable.
    Does anyone knows why, and how to remedy this?

    Yes you can do it at the table level.
    Go to SE11 enter table name as RSZGLOBV.
    Enter the technical name of variable in VNAM field..You need to change the value in VPARSEL column.
    Please make sure to get the where used list of this variable so that you can know the impact,if something goes wrong.
    Also change it in DEV and then transport across the landscape.

  • Calendar prompt for Date variable from bex

    Hi All,
    I have a Bex query where I have a variable on 0CALDAY
    - Customer exit (i_step = 1 to populate with current date)
    - Single value
    - Mandatory
    I created universe on this query and in webI selection screen i do see the variable prompt.
    I am not able to see the current date populated automatically since exit values are not populated to WebI at runtime.
    My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
    where user can enter the values directly.
    I am currently on BO XI 3.1 SP3.
    Is there any specific setting in Universe or bex query which is required to get this Calendar prompt instead of list of values for dates?
    Note: When we were on SP1 the universe created then had same variable from bex and it still shows us Calendar prompt but ever since we upgraded to SP3 for the query splitter functionality we not able to get the calendar prompt for date variable in new universe we create
    Thanks
    Ritesh

    Yep.
    Now tell me how you want to show that Prompt @ WebI report level.
    My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
    where user can enter the values directly. Exactly, i didn't get this??
    @Prompt:
    You have flexibility to show options like:
    Mono/Multi: User can select Single value or Multiple.
    BW Variable: Same we have (Single/Multiple)
    Free/Constrained: User can Enter his/her value directly or No change option.
    BW Variable: By defalut you will get this, once you made it to Optional input.
    Persistent/Not_Persistent: Refreshed report has to show last selected value means use Persistent otherwise Not_P.
    By seeing the Prompt syntax , I can say your Variable is after Customer Exit, Correct??
    Workaround for your Problem is:
    <FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A','Date\LovDate (Previous Day)Base',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
    You have to remove that Date class and objects from prompt syntax. Because of that it showing up LOV's not calendar.
    Like:
    <FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A',',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
    Why, It should be blank??
    Because Date needs no class\object to show up, by default you will get Calendar on the fly.
    Hope you got my point.
    Thank You!!
