Insert 600 variable values in pop up filter of a web query

Hello all,
in order to analyze some Material movements I have to insert 600 material numbers in the selction of a query. In Bex Analyzer I can copy and paste the variable in the variable pop up screen.
But when I execute the query in web the filter pop up screen is different to the sap gui pop up screen from Bex Analyzer.
How can I insert 600 variable values in the variable filter screen when I execute a query in web?
The BW release is 3.5 Any ideas would be great.
Best regards,
Stefan from Munich/Germany

Hi 
I don't think that option is possible in Web Reporting. However you may include different ranges of material numbers at the same time for ths purpose. 
Something is better than nothing
 
Hope it helps.

How can i insert the variable value in MS ACCES Query

i am creating one Query (query1) in MS ACCESS ( like we creaate Tables, Forms and Reports in MS ACCESS ) in this Query i have given 2 constent value in BETWEEN CLAUSE , after that i Created a CROSS QUERY which is based on the privious Query (query1).
Now i want to insert the variable value using JSP and HTML in to Query(query1).
Doing this i want to execute the Query (query1) with variable perameters and
wants to get the risponce form CROSS QUERY.
In this matter how can i insert the value in Query(query1) using JDBC and JSP.

The query is
Select ZMSGMAP.GROUP_CODE as 'group', ZMSDSTATE.STATE_DESC as 'state', ZMSTRN.YRMON, sum(ZMSTRN.CMAQTY) as 'qty' from ZMSDSTATE,ZMSGMAP,ZMSTRN Where ZMSTRN.STATE=ZMSDSTATE.STATE and ZMSTRN.PLANT=ZMSGMAP.PLANT_CODE and ZMSTRN.YRMON between "+p1+" and "+p2+" Group by ZMDGMAP.GROUP_CODE, ZMSDSTATE.STSTE_DESC, ZMSTRN.YRMONUsing this query i m trying to display the risult but the YRMON is displaying in a single column, i want to display it ia seperat columns. here p1 and p2 is YRMON(it is the yer month like 200102), for this solution i have created Cross table Query which is based on uper Query (query1) and design it column wise Display, it is givng the right display, but the problem is this i m not getting the technique throw which i can insert the variable values in to the query1 (which is designed in MS ACCESS).
u can contact me on [email protected] for more details.

Inserting a variable value from querystring into captivate and out again

I am using Captivate 4 on a server that uses ASP and I use FrontPage to write my ASP pages.
I have a database built and hosted at the same location as my captivate file. I used to launch my captivate and then have the user continue to a form page, enter their information and submit to the database. This all worked great.
Now I need to capture completion of several captivate files (modules). So I want an ASP page that allows the user to see what modules are done (I use a request form to search my database). It works great. It comes back and tells the user what needs to be taken. They, on that same page, can then select the module to complete next (I have the request querystring added to the URL that launchs the captivate file (I changed it from a html page to an asp page).
It launches fine but I can't figure out how to get that request querystring into captivate as my variable value. question 1
Then after that is figured out I need to know how to pass that variable back to an ASP page that will contain form questions that will then travel to the database. (Thus giving them credit for that module). question 2
Any help would be great. I am not very good at code, but trying. My database is Access.

So you want to pass some data into Captivate? This can be achieved with a Flash Widget and FlashVars. Basically you would be able to launch a Captivate project on www.google.com/myProject?myVariable=1 and then get the value of myVariable into a Flash widget. The Flash Widget could then pass this variable into Captivate be populating a custom variable that you have definied within Captivate. From that point on you would be able to use the variable in your Captivate project. Google for Flash Vars to see what can be done with it.
As for the other way around - Captivate sending information to your ASP script - that would also require a widget (or perhaps calling a JavaScript function). From the Flash widget you would be able to pass along data from Captivate to an external script and then use it any way you want.
Hope this points you in the right direction.

ORA-03113 when inserting a CLOB value casted as an XMLType from a SELECT query into a table

I have a table that contains a CLOB column with pseudo-XML in it. I want to keep this data in an XMLType column so that I can leverage some of Oracle's built-in XML features to parse it more easily.
The source table is defined as:
CREATE TABLE "TSS_SRM_CBEBRE_LOGS_V"
( "INCIDENT_ID" NUMBER,
"EVENT_TYPE" VARCHAR2(100 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"EVENT_KEY" VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
"CREATION_DATE" TIMESTAMP (6) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"CREATED_BY" VARCHAR2(100 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"LOG_MSG" CLOB);
The target (for testing this problem) table is defined as:
CREATE TABLE "TESTME"
( "LOG_MSG" "XMLTYPE"
My query is:
insert /*+ APPEND */ into testme ("LOG_MSG")
select XMLTYPE.createXML("LOG_MSG") as LOG_MSG from "TSS_SRM_CBEBRE_LOGS_V" b;
In SQL*Developer, my error is: Error report:
SQL Error: No more data to read from socket
In SQL*PLUS and Toad, my error is:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
Process ID: 13903
Session ID: 414 Serial number: 32739

By pseudo-XML, I mean that it doesn't have the xml root node. The content structure is similar to the following:
<a attr1="1" attr2="2" />

<c attr1="5">
<e attr1="6" attr2="7" />
<e attr1="8" attr2="9" />
<e attr1="10" attr2="11" />
</c>
<d attr1="12" />
OK. Those are XML fragments then.
I'm surprised you say the query alone works.
We cannot build an XMLType instance using the default constructor or createXML() method when the content is composed of fragments.
AFAIK the only option is to use XMLParse() with CONTENT option :
SQL> select xmltype.createxml(LOG_MSG) from TSS_SRM_CBEBRE_LOGS_V;
ERROR:
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00245: extra data after end of document
Error at line 2
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 5
no rows selected
SQL> select xmltype(LOG_MSG) from TSS_SRM_CBEBRE_LOGS_V;
ERROR:
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00245: extra data after end of document
Error at line 2
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 272
ORA-06512: at line 1
no rows selected
SQL> select xmlparse(content LOG_MSG) from TSS_SRM_CBEBRE_LOGS_V;
XMLPARSE(CONTENTLOG_MSG)
<a attr1="1" attr2="2" />

<c attr1="5">
<e attr1="6" a
Anyway, you'll eventually hit this :
SQL> insert into testme (LOG_MSG)
2 select XMLparse(content LOG_MSG)
3 from TSS_SRM_CBEBRE_LOGS_V;
insert into testme (LOG_MSG)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-19010: Cannot insert XML fragments

Surendra Thota

Hi Surendra,
It might be a data type casting issue caused by memory pressure. Please try to use the minimal length of data types that meet the requirements. Besides, if the package runs in 32-bit runtime mode, try to execute it in 64-bit runtime mode. In addition, if
the issue is not happening in the production environment, I suggest that you install the latest Service Pack for your SQL Server 2008 (R2).

Importing a text file with variable values into web reporting

Passing variable value as a prompt

Hi All,
I have one problem related to passing variable through prompt. let's discuss whole situation. Suppose I have 5 interface having variable say user_id in each interface. And 5 packages for each interface. Now I have generated scenario for these packages. I am using these scenario to create one master package. Also I have created scenario for master package. Now I want to do something like this. When I execute scenario of this master package there should be one prompt asking value for user_Id value and that value should pass to all packages and interface and same value should be inserted in target table. I can bring prompt but can not insert that value in database.
Request you to help me out in this case.
Thanks and Regards
-Pallav

Hi Pallav,
Not sure how are you trying to insert the variable value in the database but you can create an ODI variable to capture the user entered data from the scenario UI and you can pass the same variable to the underlined package/interfaces.
Could you elaborate a bit more on the inserting the variable value in the database.
Thanks

Using Broadcaster to run a query for sequential Variable Values

Hi SDN Community
I came across a powerpoint slide regarding broadcasting which i hope to use in one of our reports.
We are on SAP BW 35.
Broadcaster has been used
Your opinion would be greatly valued in regards to the direction i should proceed for our particular purpose.
We basically have a report which is a web report. This contains much html and javascript enhancements.
But it essentially has queries with a series of variables.
The customer would like the Queries to be cached for each variable value for performance reasons, on a daily basis.
eg. Run the same query for Variable value BMABRM, then BMASRM, etc...
In a loop fashion.
Do not need to set a process chain to trigger broadcaster, or rather simply to schedule the broadcaster to run daily.
I would basically then want to run this (cache) query in an iterative fashion, ie. rerun it for all the sites.
Can you please make a recommendation to which is the best approach, whether a process chain should be set up, and any experience you may have had setting up a query to rerun for different variable values. We would of course want the query to run successfully before rerunning it for the next variable to avoid locks, etc.
Thank you in advance.
Simon

Hi Rahul,
i have been trying to use the process chain functionality to do this but unsure how to do it.
Which objects do you use in the process chain:
Trigger Event Data Change (for Broadcaster)
or Execute APD Model
or Precalculation of Web Templates
i am unsure how to incorporate the queries into the process chain.
If you have any steps , it would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
Simon

Passing variable values from WAD to BEx

Hi Experts,
I am working with a query which is included in a web template. At the top of this template, I have several variables included in drop down boxes for the user to navigate through the data.
With clicking at "open in Excel" a BEx-Query is started.
My question: How can I pass the variable values from those drop down boxes to my Query in BEx?
The current HTML code for starting the Excel BEx-Query looks like this:
http://sapserver:port/x/x/x/rsr_bex_launch/bexanalyzerportalwrapper.htm?QUERY=Queryname
Thanks in advance
Marco

If you export your report after selecting required drop down values, your report will be saved to Excel as it was filtered. You do not need any HTML code for this.
My question: How can I pass the variable values from those drop down boxes to my Query in BEx?
Why do you want to re-execute your query when you have already ouptut in the first screen shot?

Filter characteristics in webi or bex?

Hi guys,
To filter characteristics, we can restrict them in bex query designer with variables(then carried over to webi automatically), or filter them in webi query panel with webi query filter. Which one is recommended, especially with regard to performance?
Thanks,
Chris

I'd like to take the question just a little further. Iu2019m experiencing a significant change in the runtime/performance of a WebI report when I move a characteristic restriction from the BEx query to the WebI report:
We are using BW 7.01, BOE XI 3.1 SP 2 FP 2.7. The BEx query uses a MultiProvider.
My WebI report sitting on that universe runs consistently in about 50 seconds. If I remove a simple characteristic restriction from the BEx query and attempt to replicate the logic of the restriction in the WebI report, the runtime jumps to more than 5 minutes. The characteristic restriction is an exclusion type of filter, so: Characteristic 1 Not Equal to A, B or C (these values have the red u2018=u2019 sign next to them in the Filter > Characteristic Restriction pane of BEx Query Designer).
The runtime increases significantly when I remove this restriction from the BEx query and add a query filter in my WebI report (using the dimension object) for Characteristic 1 Not In List (A;B;C). Iu2019ve also tried changing this to 3 separate u2018Not Equal Tou2019 filters, but this did not improve the performance.
Is it supposed to be more efficient to put the filter in the BEx Query instead of the WebI query?
Thanks for your insights!

How to read Filter selection variable values into ABAP code

HI IP Gurus,
Requierement: In my filter characterstics, i have assigned variables, which use will enter when running th e planning sequence.
so variable values entered by user , i would like to get those values into ABAP code and pass them to some function module.
SO please give me step by step detail how to achive this.
MY understanding use the below method . but not sure how to proceed.Please let me know abap code to get values.
GET_TAB_PARAM_DATA_SEL and GET_PARAM_DATA_SEL.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.Will Assign points

Hi Srinivas,
So In RSPLF1 , in paramters tab, Do i have create structure(str1) and then create component Data selection (Dtsel1) under str1(what setting i have to do here, where should i enter variable value and do i need to give info object name and how do it in code.i tried to following example, not able to get any values in tab_sel .
It will be great, if you could explain in detail.
other thing i found out is in Initialization method i can read i_t_data_charsel table values , where it contains filter slected values.but could not pass these values to execute method
Is there is any way that i can pass values from init method to execute method.
A tabular structured parameter with name "MY_TABSTRUC" is defined for the function type. "MY_TABSTRUC" consists of the two parameter components "MY_ELEM" and "MY_DATASEL". You access the parameter values as follows:

       L_VAL(20)          TYPE C,
       TAB_SEL            TYPE RSPLF_T_CHARSEL.
get table of parameter MY_TABSTRUC:
TAB_PARAM_STRUC = I_R_PARAM_SET->GET_TAB_PARAM_STRUC( 'MY_TABSTRUC' ).
process all lines:

get data selection table of MY_DATASEL:
    TAB_SEL = REF_PARAM_DATASEL->GET_T_SEL( ).
ENDLOOP.

Between-Filter on Column using calculated presentation-variable values

Hello everyone,
i'd like to know whether it is possible to filter a column with a Between-Statement using two calculations done on a single presentation variable in Oracle BI Answers
What i have:
- OBIEE 10g
A line-chart, which shows earnings over a period of several years: In 1999 it might be 100.000€, in 2000 it might be 80.000€,..., in 2009 it might be 95.000€ and so on.
What i want:
Now i'd like to create a dashboard prompt to be able to choose a certain year, for example 2006.
The chart then should show data for the year given (2006...) and two years before(2004, 2005) and two years after the chosen year(2007,2008).
Example:
If 2006 is chosen, then data from 2004 to 2008 should be shown in the chart
If 2000 is chosen, then data from 1998 to 2002 should be shown in the chart.
What i did:
- I created the Prompt, set its presentation variable to var_year.
- I then created a filter on my years-column, choosing "Between" from the DropDown-List.
- I added two 'Variable-fields within the filter-dialogue', each filled with var_year and a default value.
- I tried to add a +2 or -2 to the variable-expression field, but (ofcourse) got an error.
Thanks in Advance and greetings from Germany,
Chris

Sorry for not answering to your Posts yesterday.
I have to admit that i was unable to solve my problem, although the solutions posted, seemed to be quite promising.
Hammett81's solution
First, I gave Hammett81's solution a try and created a filter group using the 'Add filter' option/dialogue box.
This Filtergroup consists of 5 single filter expressions, which have been connected by ORs:
The way i created those filters:
In the 'Create/ Edit Filter' i've chosen 'is equal/ is in' - Operator.
Then i was given the chance to add a 'value' or to add 'Variable --> Presentation', which summons 2 textboxes (Variable Expression and Default)
Everything i put into the variable expression field will be put into the @{} bracket by OBIEE, after clicking ok.
So it is not possible to use +1, +2, -1,-2 etc. within this field, as this would lead to @{var_year +2} for example, which ofcourse does not match the presentation variable's name.
On the other hand, if i do not use a Variable Expression but a "Value field", then i can write @{var_year} +2 for example.
In my opinion, obiee wants to use the expression as a simple value though, rather than use it as a variable and therefore won't check the presentation variables value, when it tries to filter the data.
John's solution
Regarding Johns answer, i am not sure where to put the filter expression. Should this be added into the SQL-Query (Advanced-Tab) or do i have to add it within the columns formula? (fx)

How I can gain the variable value in web-application?

Hi,
I have a web-template with several web-item. The data provider refers to a query with a variable screen.
After the report run and the table is displayed, i have need to set a paticular filter-item with the variable value that i put in pop-up screen.
Therefore I am trying a function or method in order to pass the variable value (pop-up variable).
Help me, Thanks in advance

Hi Ciro,
in the Web item properties of the Text element web item you can specifically select in the ITEM_LIST a list of text elements. For variables you can choose if you want to display text or key values. This should work for the print template.
With the Excel display I'm a bit unsure. There is a BEx Function called SAPBEXshowTextElements that allows you to display the variable values. I just don't know if you can execute it in the SAPBEXonRefresh. You can find additional information in the BW help under Business Explorer->Analysis & Reporting: BEx Analyzer->Queries in Workbooks->Integration with Visual Basic for Application (in the BW 3.1 documentation).
Another thing that might work is to add another navigational attribute to the needed InfoObjects with reference to the InfoObject. While loading Master Data you can fill the navigational attribute with the same value as the characteristic. Then you can drag the variable into the filter and put the Navigational attribute into the query.
Example: You have the IO 0COSTCENTER that you want to put a filter on. Create an IO COSTC_N (Costcenter Navigation) with reference to 0COSTCENTER and insert it into 0COSTCENTER as navigational attribute. While loading Master Data for 0COSTCENTER fill COSTC_N from 0COSTCENTER.
In the query put COSTC_N into the filter box and create a fitting variable. 0COSTCENTER can now be displayed in the rows and the filter values for COSTC_N are displayed in the query.
Best regards

URGENT: Not seeing the variable Pop-up for Button , on web template in WAD

Hi gurus,
In IP I have a standard plan function for 'Copy', which has a few variables defined on the funciton itself (as to be changed):
Version from:
Version to:
Order from:
Order To:
Fiscal year from:
Fiscal year to:
All of the above variable are created with the following parameters:
Variable input: Optional (have also tried madantory)
Ready for input: is flagged.
Variable represents: Single value.
No default entry.
No personalized data.
Now in WAD, I create a button group for this function by selecting the Command, 'Executing Planning Function (simple)', manually entering my plan function technical name next to 'Command specific parameters', and selecting the dataprovider created for the filter I created in IP, and finally flagging the 'Display variable' button.
The problem is, on the web template the variable screen does not appear when I click on the function button. It executes the function in the background without giving me the pop-up for variable selection. And obviously since the variables have no default values, nothing is processesed.
I've tried this with planning sequence instead, and still wont give me the variable pop-up screen..
I've actually explicitlet entered the variables on the 'Parameters for Command screen', the same screen where you enter the filter for databinding and well as the function.
It still wont work (no variable pop-up screen).
Is this issue related to the support pack. We're on SP12 right now?
If not, do any of you gurus have any ideas? Big points will be rewarded for this.
Thanks

In the parameterization of the command, there is an option 'show variable screen'. I am not sure if you have mentioned this clearly, but have you checked this option?
