Issue in customer exit variable

Hi,
When I run a query, it passes directly from step 1 to step 3 without going through step 2, where validate input variables.
What might be happening?
Thanks in advance,
Rui

Hi,
Please make sure that your variable is not input ready as the call takes place only if the variable is not input ready. Please find details of the I_STEP below from SAP help.
I_STEP = 1
Call takes place directly before variable entry. Can be used to pre populate selection variables
I_STEP = 2
Call takes place directly after variable entry. This step is only started up when the same variable is not input ready and could not be filled at I_STEP=1.
I_STEP = 3 In this call, you can check the values of the variables. Triggering an exception (RAISE) causes the variable screen to appear once more. Afterwards, I_STEP=2 is also called again.
I_STEP = 0
The enhancement is not called from the variable screen. The call can come from the authorization check or from the Monitor.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Gaurav

Issue with customer exit for copying one variable value to another

Hello Gurus,
I need to copy the value of a single value variable into another single customer exit variable.
I coded as below.
WHEN 'customer_exit_var'.
    IF I_STEP = 2. "after the popup
      LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
      WHERE VNAM = 'user_input_Variable'.
        CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
        L_S_RANGE-LOW = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW.
        L_S_RANGE-HIGH = ''.
        L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
        L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'.
        APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
        EXIT.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDIF.
I used the condition <= for the customer exit variable in the report. But, it is considering only single value, but not all the values <= to the give value.
Please help me in this regard,
Thanks,
Aarthi.

Thanks for your immediate response Govind.
My report is restricted based on two dates. Date1 and Date2. Need to consider all records whose dates are <= Date1 and <= Date2.
Date1 and Date2 should have same values. But user inputs only Date1.
So, I created Date1 as Single, User Input Variable restricted the query with <=Date1.
Next I created Date2 as Single, Customer Exit Variable and restrcited the Query with <=Date2.
In CMOD I used the above code to assigne Date1 Value to Date2.
When I execute the report, say I give todays date in the report (Dec, 12, 2007). Date2 has to consider all the values <= Dec 12, 2007. But, in my case it is considering only Dec 12, 2007, but not the before dates.
So, Please help me in solving this problem.
Thanks,
Aarthi.

Customer exit variable issue

Hi Friends,
Below code using to find the Quarter values from Year,
For ex: If ZU1_AY_YEAR = 2010 (User entry variable), I need Quarter values like 2009 Q1.
ZZ1_Y_X6 is customer exit variable againt Quarter. Here Quarter values are always 2009 Q1,2009 Q2..etc.
WHEN 'ZZ1_Y_X6'.
      IF i_step = 2.
        CLEAR l_s_range.
        READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO ls_t_var_range
          WITH KEY vnam = 'ZU1_AY_YEAR'.
        IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
          ls_t_var_range-low = ls_t_var_range-low - 1.
          CONDENSE ls_t_var_range-low NO-GAPS.
          l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
          l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
          CONCATENATE ls_t_var_range-low 'Q2'INTO l_s_range-low SEPARATED BY space.
          APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
        ENDIF.
      ENDIF.
This code/customer exit variable is providing description of the values like 2009 Q1 for the text variables but not getting values through this variable (ZZ1_Y_X6) restriction.
Hope you got a point. Other wise please let me know if need more details.
XYZ is the keyfigure --> restricted with ZZ1_Y_X6 --> as per code value is 2009 Q1 --> But not getting key figure values into report as per this 2009 Q1
                                  --> Rows of the query --> created text variable with replacement Hence value/description is getting
Please advise?
Thanks,
RK

Hi,
You cannot use the same variable for text and for restricting the data. I think you have written the code for the text variable. However, for restricting you need to use (or create) a different variable for the 0CALQUARTER InfoObject
And you must not use the letter 'Q' in the cust exit for the filtering variable. The Quarter values are stored as 20091 (first qtr of 2009), 20092 etc.
So for the filtering variable, the concat statement will be
CONCATENATE ls_t_var_range-low '2'INTO l_s_range-low.

Concatination of Two dates in customer exit Variable

HI Expert ,
I am writting customer Exit Variable to get Records from user entered Dates .
Eg. In Variable Screen of Bex report i have 2 Variable LYDate & TY Date both of them are As "Mutiple Single Value" & "Mendetory".
If we give LYDATE and TYDATE Date range as,
LYDate - 01/2013 - 06/2013
TYDate - 01/2014 - 12/2014
So I need ABAP Code which will get Value Range from 01/2013 from LYDATE and 12/2014 From TY DATE . So Query will Get data for 01/2013 TO 12/2014 (2 Years Data).
ZCALYEAR (Cusomer Exit) = LYDATE (01/2013) TO TY DATE(12/2104).
Please provide step by step ABAP Code to Achiev above issue. Points for Sure...
Thanks,
GB

Hi,
Some code like this will solve your issue:
CASE I_VNAM.
   WHEN 'NEWVARIABLE'.
   IF I_STEP = 2.
      READ TABLE I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE WITH KEY VNAM = 'LYDate'.
      If sy-subrc =0.
          CONCATENATE LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW(4) INTO L_S_RANGE-LOW.
          READ TABLE I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE WITH KEY VNAM = 'TYDate'.
          If sy-subrc =0.
               CONCATENATE LOC_VAR_RANGE-HIGH(4) INTO L_S_RANGE-HIGH.
               L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
               L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'.
          APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
        endif.
      endif.

Behavior of customer exit variables (used as prompt) in a workbook

Hi All,
We are on NW2004s. I am using a customer exit variable in the prompt for my query then saved the query as a workbook.
1. When I run the query the customer exit routine/program is called and the selection screen variable is populated with the correct value.
Ex. Calendar year variable is a prompt variable defined as customer exit variable that gets the current year.
when you run the query the prompt for calendar year shows "2007" as default value. this is correct.
2. when I run the workbook using this same query, it looks like it is not executing the customer exit program. The value in the calendar year prompt is whatever the last value used when the workbook was last ran.
I also placed a breakpoint in the customer exit program (EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001) to check if it is being called and it looks like it isn't.
Is there a configuration/property that I should enable/check to make sure that customer exit variables used as prompts works in workbooks? Is this a bug? Anybody else have issues with using customer exit variables as prompts in their workbooks?
Thanks in advance,
Malou

Hello Marilou,
See the abswer I got from the 1st response on my question
Save and reuse variable option in 7.0
It may be a good help.
Variables seem to be an understated item in the documents.

How to change a customer exit variable in columns

Hallo Experts,
i have a query with two columns. In the first column is a customer exit variable, who get filled with the actual calyear. In the second column is the same variable with an offset -1.
When i execute the query, in the first column i can see the year 2007 and in the second column i can see 2006. That´s ok.
Now i want to change the year (dynamically) in a filter 2007 in 2005. The result should be in the first column 2005 and in the second column 2004.
What can i do?

Hi Jens,
As I understand the scenario, you have two RKF or selections in column 1 and 2, one is restricted with variable ZYear, the other with the same variable, offset - 1 and variable ZYear provides current year.
I think there is no way to change years dynamically in a filter, but you could solve the issue by refreshing the query and overwrite default value provided by customer exit.
To achieve this, please change variable and check 'Ready for input' in change dialog..
If this shouldn't work, please let me know details a variable definition and customer exit.
Have a nice w/e

Problem with customer exit variable that is input ready as well

Hello all,
I'm facing an issue with a customer exit variable that again has been defined as input ready. I'm not sure why it is working incorrectly and I#m wondering if this is a bug or if I do s.th. stupid.
The problem is that in the exit program ZXRSRU01 this varibale does not go into the program code I have prepared for this variable. I have added entry points for all three i_step values 1,2,3, but the code will never be touched and in debugging I can see that it simply pypasses the code for this variable.
I have tried to enter a value or to leave it blank, no difference.
When I run another test by just using a customer exit variable w/o input ready capability, then I have no issue, the exit does exactly what I have coded.
Does this mean, that a customer exit variable along with input readiness dows not work ?????
You may ask why I need this variable. Well, my intention is to use the input value of this variable A to derive other values for a complete different variable B. Afterwards I want to erase the input given into variable A to have it blank.
Any comments are appreciated
Thanks

Hi Heiko,
I assume A & B variables are defined on different Characteristics. If you wish to derive B based on A, you can create the Query Characteristic Restriction on B & have a dummy RKF restricted on A whose processing is by Manual Input; where processing of B is by Customer Exit. In istep 2 you can check for B, read A & derive B. There would not be a need to blank out A since the Query would not be restricted on A - you can hide the dummy RKF from showing in the output. Just a thought.

Query Drilldown does not Invoke Customer Exit Variables

We have a problem with performing a drilldown in a BEx Analyzer reprot, basically the client is a Trading company and they have inter company trading. We are using the Profit Centre as one of thre u201CFree Characteristicsu201D in the query and hence we are able to drilldown on a Characterictc by Profit Centre.
We are using a couple of BEx query variables (Customer Exit variables) to determine the inter-area and extrenal area profit centres and these profit centres will be different based on the level of Hieracry node selected when the query is initially executed. For example if we assume a hierarchy with has one root node, 3 children under the root node and 2 grand-children under each of the 3 child nodes, now if we are at the root Node of the Hierarchy then every profit centre is internal and there are no external profit centres, similarly if we are at the 2nd node (i.e. one of the child nodes) then everything under that node is internal and everything in the other 2 child nodes is external and so on.
This is where the issue starts for us, since on the report if we select the the node we want to see the results for at the query rumtime (i.e. the Customer Exit Variables are invoked at I_STEP=2 and they select the other nodes of the hierarcy if any and group them into either external or internal) then the results are correct. Now if we were to drilldown, i.e. We selected the root node and we drilldown on to see for example of the child nodes then the result are not correct, this becomes apparent when we drilldown further to the grand-child nodes.
One logical explaination is that when we are doing the drilldowns the customer exit variables are not being invoked in the BEx analyzer report and hence they are not grouping the sums for the internal and external profit centres relevent to node selected in the Drill down.
Does anyone have any suggestions regarding how to make this query work properly or show the correct results in BEx Analyzer (ideally), I have considered the Workbooks option but the client does not want Workbooks.
Please let me know if there is a program etc we can customise to ensure that the Customer Exit variables logic is used when the user does a drilldown in the query or any other way to make it work.
Many Thanks
Jack

Hi
Just to aid anyone who is thinking what to do in a similar situation, I am aware that RRI or using workbooks are a couple of good alternatives (just that these are currently not being considered by the client, hence I am asking here).. Also, if someone has Business Objects WEBI then we can satisfy the requirement by creating a new Webi Report for each of the nodes and displaying it (similar to Workbooks but much nicer and faster) or we can get the Webi to execute the variables again during the drilldown... Unfortunately the client is not using Webi either... So the solution has to be in BEx Analyzer / Query designer based...
If you have any thoughts on how I might be able to do what I want to do then please feel free, I am quite confident that I am not the 1st person to come accross this issue and someone somewhere has solved this issue.
Thanks

Changing a customer exit variable in Step 2 which was already set in Step 1

Hello,
i have the following problem.
There are 2 BEx customer exit variables A and B.
Variable A is filled in Step 1 before the user dialog appears.
Variable B is determined in Step 2 in dependence of variable A.
Now i want to change variable A in dependence of user entry althoug it was already filled in step 1. Can i somehow force the variable manipulation in step 2 for a single variable wich has already been set in step 1?
Or is there a way to change all variables at once after they have been set e.g. in step 3?
Regards,
Alexander

Hello Alexander!
It's true: You cannot change values that were entered in step 1. It's a feature This is supposed to make sure that a value that was entered (or confirmed) by the user can never be changed by any piece of coding - customer or SAP. If that possibility existed, then that would create some real issues for reliability and also support.
What is your scenario that you are trying to solve? Maybe there's another way to do it?
Regards,
Christian!

RSCRM: Query date with customer exit variable

Hi All,
Is there any way to run the RSCRM transaction with a query with a customer exit variable for a date characteristic?
The issue is that the query ran ok but the variable is not being updated when the RSCRM query is running with a background job or a process chain.
Thanks in advance
EV

I do not think you can select Customer Exit variable, if you see the type is selected to Char Value Variables and it is not editable.
It would be suggested to go for Customer Exit procesing type for your text variable.

Crystal Reports with BEx Query using Custom Exit Variable

Hi,
We have BW BEx Query using Customer User Exit variable to derive the Fiscal Week for Last Year (called it VAR2) based on another user input variable Current Fiscal Week (called it VAR1).
VAR2 is derived from VAR1 in CMOD via some codings and thus it DOES NOT have the "Variable is Ready for Input" flag ticked in the BEx. VAR1 is user input variable, so it has "Variable is Ready for Input" flag ticked in the BEx.
When we create a Crystal Reports with the BEx Query using variable VAR2, and when we run it we got an error message saying "Failed to execute query; '[]<java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: No Selection State Support!ZP_MI_LYPUBWEEK>'. Redesign your query or contact the data source maintainer to solve the problem". (note: ZP_MI_LYPUBWEEK is VAR2 in this case).
Could anyone please assist? Surely, CR supports BEx customer user exit variables like the above, right?. I also refer to the forum below as it seems to have a similar issue (except mine with an error message), but it does not provide a solution in it.

Customer Exit Variable to fetch the data from the cube..

Hello Gurus,
I am having a requirement to select the latest changed record from the cube while executing the query. where we are having the Calday as the date with a variable .
I suggested my client we can filter it at the DSO leve or Data loading level but my client dont want to distrurb the existing design so he want to perfrom the changes at the Query level only.
For Example we are having below records in the cube.
PO             Material     Calday       Qty         Price
101            ABC          1/12           100         10
101            ABC          2/12            100         10
101            ABC          3/12            100         11
I am having Calday in the selection screen as the variable.
Now from the above example i need to show the record which has been changed on 3/12.
For this i am planning to write the customer exit variable on the calday , when the user enter the range of Calday then i will fetch the whole records which fall in between the range and i will sort each PO with respect to the date and i will pick those which are the latest records.
My Concerns:
!. Kindly let me know if it is possible and what are the other things that i need to consider.
2. Did it will impact the performance.
Waiting for your quick replies
Thanks & Regards
KK

Hi Mate,
Sorry for late reply.
By d way in your word.
initially when the user enter the date range as the vairable input. suppose 1/12 to 31/12 then i will pick all those records which fall in this range.
suppose the records are
PO Date
P1 01/12
P1 02/12
P2 02/12
P2 03/12
P3 03/12
P3 04/12
In the customer exit variable Now for each PO i will sort the date in ascending order and i will pick the last record to display it in the Report.
The ouput will be
PO Date
P1 02/12
P2 03/12
P3 04/12
Now hope you are aware about exit variable concept.
so what value will pass in the calday filter.
here after sorting on each PO , you will get 3 different dates, 02/12 for P1
03/12 for P2
and 04/12 for P3
Now if you are aware about exit variable concept, then you will pass this three date to CALDAY(I_t_VAR_Range-low = ...)
but how query will understand that for P1 calday filter value is 02/12, for P2 calday filter value is 03/12.... and so on...
actually i have also experienced this kind of issue 1-2 years before, i have tried same thing at that time without thinking and stuck with this problem..
By d way you can also learn from your mistake.. so just try ur logic and then you will understand what is the problem?
By d way this will not work, parallel you can work on other solution.

Customer-Exit variable on 0TCAIPROV

Hello,
we're currently working on the migration of 3.x reporting authorizations into the new analysis authorizations.
Because of the existing requirements we have to have different analysis authorizations on different infoproviders and we want to use infoobject 0TCAIPROV to do this.
But since we have a lot of infoproviders we don't want to maintain the relevant infoproviders in each analysis authorization and because we cannot use infoareas to assign the infoproviders we have created a customer-exit variable for 0TCAIPROV that produces the list of relevant inforpoviders.
So far, so good. But when running queries with this authorization we always the EYE001: No authorization for InfoProvider. So we debugged the query and saw that the customer-exit is being processed. But it seems that the infoprovider check does not support customer-exit variables.
Does anybody have experience with this? Has anybody done this?
Regards,
Jens

Default value of BeX customer Exit variable not Displayed in WeBI??

Hello Experts,
We are stuck with a problem where WeBI report is created on top of BeX query and we are not able to see the default value of Bex Customer exit variable in WeBI run. Here is the complete scenario:
1. One restricted KF is created in BeX, restricted with Customer exit variable on net Due date. And this variable is mandatory, ready for input, and Default value in calculated is user exit as current Week's Monday.
2. So, by default KF data should be restricted to Monday of current week, if user does not change this value.
3. Now, WeBI report is created on top of this Bex query, and all is working fine, i.e. we are getting variable as Prompt in WeBI, but Default value is not shown while Running the Webi Report.
So, need your inputs on the same, if default values from BeX in WeBI is supported or not? If yes, why this is happening, and how to resolve it?
Please notice, the restrcition is in KF only, it is not a separate restrcition on Net Due date in Filter area or in Defualt area of BeX
and we are on SAP BW 7.1 and BOXI 3.1 SP4.

Vipul

Hi,
See 1285993 - Support of Customer Exit Variables from BEx query into WebIntelligence via OLAP universe
WebI will prompt when executed, but the default values calculated by the user exit - do not appear.
Note: If the BEx variable has property 'ready for input' set / enabled, then its WebI prompt shows ok, but no default value appears.
Cause
This behaviour expected 'by design' (in the context of the product's current limitations) as explained in the online guide below:
Please refer to Chapter 7, page 44, document link here: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf
