Issue with the Replacement Path Variable.

Hi,
I have an issue in using the Replacement Path Variable.
Issue: I have Sales information in the Sales Cube and AR information in the Accounts Receivable cube. Now we have a requirement to show the open AR documents with Sales information in it.
Apparently the system generates same number for both AR and Billing document.
So I thought of using the Replacement path variable in the Sales Query on Billing Document, so that it runs the AR query to get the list of open AR documents into the Sales query. But the system is complaining:
"System error in program CL_RSR_OLAP and form IF_RSR_OLAP~MODIFY_VQUERY_SETTINGS-01- (see long text)".
I searched OSS note on this and found the note: 1432062. Implemented, but now it complains:
"Abort Variable XXX cannot be replaced in this query".
I am trying to return the result from Accounting Document to the Billing Document. I know this is an issue, but after implementing the Note, i thought it would be fixed. But no luck.
Did anyone come across this situation. If you have any solution for this, pls let me know.
Thanks.

Hello;
Why don't you try to add the billing document in your financial cube;
mapping it with the a ccount document number?
This should make the replacement path work fine.

Issue with Using Replacement path to pass values after condition in BI 7.0

Hi All,
I am using a replacement path variable in a query (Query 2) which is populated from another query (Query 1).
Query 1 has a condition based on formula variables which works fine when I run Query 1 separately. It filters to display only entries that satisfy the condition (from 6 entries to 5 after condition).
But the replacement path variable in Query 2 is getting populated with all the 6 values from Query 1 irrespective of the condition. I need only the filtered/valid records (5 records) to be passed..
Does anyone have this issue? System seems to ignore the condition altogether.
As a test, I changed the condition in Query 1 to TOP 2 entries. Only 2 entries showed up in Query 1. However, Query 2 contained 6 entries (initial list before condition).
My condition setting in Query1 is set to "Most Detailed Characteristic Along the Rows".
I am on BI 7.0 Support Pack 20. Is this a BI 7.0 issue?

Hi,
Your 1st query brings all the rows and just applies condition on front end / Analyzer for display purpose.
If you check Over All Result it will show data for all 6 rows even.
If you want to see proper result on analyzer you must have to set the properties -Calculations-Calculate Result As- Summation or Sum.
I donu2019t think condition will help you to filter the number of rows and use as input query. It will work on analyzer only. Try to apply the condition on your final query (2nd query).

Behaviour of a query with a replacement path variable on the web

Hi,
We have BW 7.0 at support pack 17. We have a query which has a replacement path variable whose values get replaced from a pre-query. This query runs fine and returns quickly when run in the Bex Analyzer. The same query when run on the web hangs. It never returns. Have any of you experienced such a behaviour?
Thanks and Regards

Hi there,
solution I found is to create new Replacement Path variables, based on the InfoSet objects.
Although they are technically the same infoobjects the Query Designer treats them as different objects.

Issue with the drill path in Hierarchy in OBIEE 11g

Hi ,
We have upgraded to 11g(11.1.16.6) and an issue we are facing is that the drill path for the time hierarchy is not same.
In 10g its Year >Quarter >Month>Date.
BUt in 11g its rendering as Year >Quarter >Month>Week Number >Date.
The week number is present in the hierarchy defined in the RPD, but the week number has "Use for Display " unchecked.
Not sure why it then is coming up in the drill .

Hi,
You try to make the changes in the hierarchy as per required,and clear the cache then reload the rpd and then restart the services.
its just a try, and reward me if it correct.

Replacement Path Variable with Another Variable

Hi,
I am currently trying to create a report that would need me to have the same values for different characteristics (e.g. clearing date, posting date, net due date). I have seen that there is a way in the replacement path variable that would replace its value with another variable that is ready for input. I also looked into SAP help but I can't seem to figure out on how to do it specifically. Does anyone know a step-by-step process on how to do this? How does this work?
Thank you in advance!

take an e.g.
u have characteristic say ch1
u want to restrict it with replacement path variable
first of all create a variable var1
click what it is based upon for e.g. 0calday, 0material etc.
make it user entry variable
select single or multiple entry
make it mandatory
save it and hit okey
click on ch1
right click and say restrict
in new window create a new variable
give its name and technical name
processing path is replacement path
go to next tab of replacement path
select several ooptions
replace variable with another variable
select a variable called var1
change the offset length and offset start with different parameters.
hit okey
this way u have restricted ch1 with replacement path variable var1
now when u run report u have to enter value of var1
which will then further feeded to ch1
this way u can create replacement path variables at lots of instances and then u can always feed the value from var1 at different time
make sure as this ur requirement is date
try to use 0calday as reference infoobject all the times....

Using Characteristic value with Replacement path variable

Hi All,
Could you please let me know if it is possible to use charecteristic value instead of key figure with replacement path variable. My requirement is to use factory calendar id as the replacement variable on plant characteristic, now when I choose replcaement variable with Attribute value, the dropdown menu only gives the list of key figures assigned as an attributes to Plant.
Now I am looking for a solution to use factory calendar id as the attribute.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Replacement path variable with offsets

Hi experts,
I have the requirement to report receivables (open items) historically by fiscal year / period.
More precisely, each period should show the open items that are open at the end of the period.
Example:
001.2010 (shows open items from 31.01.2010)
002.2010 (shows open items from 28.02.2010)
...etc.
The idea is that the user enters a fiscal year/period using a manual entry variable.
The open items should be calculated as follows:
KF: Amount
Posting Date <= Variable
Clearing > Variable or unassigned
Variable is a replacement variable that is replaced by attribute "Date To" from the user entry Variable (Fiscal year period)
E.g. if the user enters 008.2010, then this value is automatically replaced by 31.08.2010.
Generally this works.
However, to view the values for the last 12 months, a structure is needed consisting of 12 elements with offsets in order to show the 12 months prior to the selected period (e.g. 001.2010 - 002.2010 - 003.2010 ....etc.)
The problem is that the replacement only considers the user's variable entry and ignors the offsets.
Example:
User enters 008.2010.
In the column strucure I show 3 months 006.2010, 007.2010, 008.2010.
Then all columns would show items open on 008.2010 - the offsets are ignored.
Any idea, why this happens and how it can be resolved?
This problem has given me a headache for days.
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Alex
The user should be able to enter a fiscal year / period and

Replacement Path variable with query

Hi all,
I have a replacement path variable in a query that use the result from other query (a pre-query), both of them use the same variables, exactly the same, although the query ask me for the values of the variables twice (for the query and for the pre-query), is possible that the query ask me for the variables only one time (re-use the same values for both queries)?
Thanks,
Javier

If possible use only the variable with replacement path on the query. Since the Pre-query has all the same variables as the main query, the user would enter all the required input on the pre-query one time. The result of the pre--query feeds the main query. If the main query has no other selection variables except for the replacement path, the selection screen will not pop up again.
Thanks
Vineet

A formula with a formula variable with a replacement path delivers X

A formula with a formula variable with a replacement path delivers X as a result if the characteristic of the replacement is not in the drilldown
I have Created on ( date ) on which I have a Formula variable . I have used that Formula Variable in my calculated Key figure .
Now the Problem is If I use Created on in ROW , The calculated key figure works . But if I don't use in Row , The calculated Key figure shows X . Situation is Users don't want to see Created on in ROW .
If I use in row and hide also , then number of Records will be same .
Pls guide me what shoud I do .
Is this problem related to support pack .

The co-op have withdrawn the iPad 3 from sale and it will be replaced by a new iPad. Does anyone know if there is an issue with the iPad 3 that would have led to the upgrade? Thanks Mark

Is there an issue with the latest iPad (3)? Why has it been replaced by an upgrade?

No, there's absolutely no issue. I guess the co-op just thought that now that the new iPad is available, and costs the same as the iPad 3 used to cost, it might as well offer the latest.

IMO opendns is either doing this on purpose (unlikely) or they're under some sort of attack/being used to attack the specific torrent sites although I'm open to other explanations. I believe using the automatic setting for DNS is using my own ISP's DNS servers (which again, work fine... but still...)
I'd rather not use Google's public DNS servers as Google is to commercial these days and I think there's potential privacy issues.

Re : Issue with the column display in Bex reports

Hello Gurus,
I have an issue with the reports in Bex, this is a bit confusing scenario I would try to explain in more details. A query was already built for monthly Report in Sales and Billing for which the variable were Calender month/year range 1 (mandatory), range 2 range 3 range 4. These 4 variable were created and moved to column rows in query.
Later the user wanted the copy of same report but he wanted the variables to be Calender date range 1 (mandatory), range 2, range 3 , range 4. I have created them with 0calenderday as reference and moved to the columns.
for the monthly report text variables were already existing for the Calender month/ year, but for the daily report text variable were not existing for Dates. I have created a text variable for the date in the following way processing by
" replacement path" and reference characteristic as 0calday and in the replacement path tab.. in replace variable the selection is info object, the next option Replace with " External charactersitic value key " .
By creating this text variable the dates were being displayed in the colum header like 11/01/2013 - 11/30/2013 which satisfies the requirement.
But the user wanted to see the report same like monthly report when the mandatory variable Calender year/ month is selected, the rest of the columns range 2, range 3, range 4 are displayed as unassigned in the report. but coming back to the daily report when the user is giving the Calender date rage 1, he is finding that Calender date range 2, range 3, range 4 are also being displayed with values. He want to see the Calender date range 2,3,4 as unassigned in the report just like monthly. Please find the images attached.
As Calender month/ year is predefined, if the calender range values are not given it would show up as not assigned default. I have created a separate text variable for Calender day, I believe that could be the reason rest of the columns are not showing up as unassigned. The user want to see them as unassigned like monthly report columns.
I tried different ways changing the text variables but I could not change the display of the columns in Calender date report by the option - replace with ----> External characteristic value key, key, label. when I chose the option external characteristic value then the date was showing up in the text of the column when report is run ( Please find the image for the reference in the attachment ). . I request you to help me out in this. Please find the images of the variables and output below.

Anshu,
Thank you very much for above code I made minor changes to the code that finally worked. I created 4 different text variables needed for Calender date range 1, 2 ,3 ,4. Please find the code below for the text variable that worked in the system
WHEN 'ZTEXT_CAL1'.
   READ TABLE I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO loc_var_range
   WITH KEY VNAM = 'ZCALDATE1'.
    IF loc_var_range-LOW = '#'.
      dt_low = 'Not Assigned'.
      dt_high = 'Not Assigned'.
      CONCATENATE dt_low '-' dt_high INTO l_s_range-low.
    ELSE.
      CONCATENATE loc_var_range-low+4(2) '/' loc_var_range-low+6(2) '/' loc_var_range-low+0(4) into dt_low.
      CONCATENATE loc_var_range-high+4(2) '/' loc_var_range-high+6(2) '/' loc_var_range-high+0(4) into dt_high.
      CONCATENATE dt_low '-' dt_high INTO l_s_range-low.
    ENDIF.
        L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
        L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'.
        APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.

Replacement Path variable--not working

Hi All,
I am using replacement path variables in a query. The scenario is like this:
In Query 1 I have Region, Market, Group, Item in the rows and in columns I have a keyfigure and fisper. All the user-input variables. And I have a condition which shows only those records where keyfigure = 0 for the range of periods entered.
In Query 2, I am using same char's in rows but they are replacement type variables. Also the fiscper is RP variable all from result of query 1. Key figure is different here. So, my query 2 should return all the chars from query 1 result and should give the values of the query 2 keyfigure for the results of query 1 for the same range of periods.
But for some reason I am not getting the result values of query 1 but getting all the values entered in the selection screen.
Can anyone please help me out of this issue.
<removed by moderator>
Thanks and Regards..

Hi Rahul,
This issue almost drove me to distraction and I found no solution. It appears as soon as you are working with mor than one variable with replacement by query results.
Simplified :
In Query1 you have two combinition for region and market in query result e.g.:
regionA market1
regionB market2
In Query2 the replacement is
regionA market1
regionA market2
regionB market1
regionB market2
i.e. all possible combinations from result of Query1.
Good Luck

Replacement Path variable cannot be used in filter

After creating a variable of type replacement path with query I get the error message:
Errors: Variable ... cannot be used in 'Filter' 'Default Values'; remove
Does anyone know what is causing this message and how to prevent it?
Thanks.
Regards,
József.

Thanks for your response Bhargava,
Your answer did help me find the solution. When using a replacement path variable with query, you can only use the variable in the Characteristic Restrictions part of the Filters (not in the Default Values).
The characteristic itself can still be used for navigation.
p.s. Found that when copying a query some links to structures, like restricted key-figures, are kept in the metadata repository, even after removing them from the query. This can also cause error messages.
Regards,
József.

Replacement path variable is not working

Hi Experts,
I have created a input ready query & assigned it to a Web template.
In query filter, I have used char. 0SALESORG restricted with manual input variable.
In row, I am using custome defined char. Market with master data as a access type. Market is display attribute of 0SALESORG.
My requirement is whenever user selects a value for 0SALESORG through variable same values should be displayed in row for char. Market.
I tried to achieve this requirement using replacement path variable on char. Market.
But, I am not getting the required output.
Correct me if I am doing any mistake / suggest any other feasible option.
Thanks in advance,
Shamkant.

solved on own.
