Limit Variable Screen F4 Help

Hi All,
I have a master data characteristic that has thousands of records. Is there a way to limit the f4 help list on a query variable screen based on certain conditions? Can it be done through a user exit (CMOD)?
Thanks,
BQ

F4 input help on Variable screen is not working on Portal

Dear Experts,
We are facing one issue when we run the WAD report on portal, variable screen gets hang after clicking on input help button (F4) for couple of variables. We are facing same issues when we run the base queries on portal. But when we run the same base queries in RSRT (Tcode) or in BEx Analyzer we are not facing this issue and able to get the input help screen with values.
I also have gone through some old posts related to such issues but didn't help much. We are already on SAP BW 7.4 SP Level 008 and for Char IO Query Filter Value setting is kept as "Values in Master Data Table" only. This is a MD IO with Compounding.
Kindly let me know if anyone has faced such issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Nilesh

Dear Martin,
There is a no long running work process in the backend and data volume is more in Master Data Table, there are around 19 Lacks records available.
For BI Java patch and defaultTrace for errors I will check it with BASIS Admin team. Unfortunately I don’t have rights to do same.
Thanks,
Nilesh

F4 Input Help in Variable Screen takes about 30 Minutes to display.

Hello Experts,
We have a web-report in which the time taken to display all the entries in F4 Input Help of the variable screen takes about 30 minutes. Have anyone experienced so long a wait time while accessing F4 Input Help in the variable screen and is there anything that we can do to reduce this wait time.
Thanks
Arvind

For BEx Web 7.0 make sure you have the attributes suppressed in help with the instructions from note below:
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1144979
Also apply the optimizations provided in the notes below:
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1374724
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1379804
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1266510
Also you could try changing the read mode of the F4 help depending on the size of the cube and MD tables.

Input help in variable screen

Hi,
I'm having a query on top of 0EMPLOYEE. 0EMPLOYEE has an attribute of a business unit (which has the default BEx settings of display as text) and I have a selection option variable on top of this attribute.
Previously, on BW 3.x the variable screen used to show both the key and text, regardless of the settings in the BEx tab of the infoobject definition. in BEx Web JAVA it will only let me have the text selection. is it possible to change that without changing the default settings in the BEx tab of the infoobject definition?
Tomer.

Issue in F4 help in variable screen of the report

Hi All,
I am facing an issue with Bex query, there are two navigational attributes in query, those are NAV1 and NAV2 and we have created two variable for these attributes,
When we run the query in analyzer and in the variable screen we are trying to select values for these attributes from F4 help, we are able to see both the values in each attribute.
For example NAV 1 has 100 vlues and NAV2 has 100 values, when we click on F4 help on the NAV1 attribute in variable screen we are able to see 200 entries, means it's including NAV2 values, it is vise-versa for the NAV2 attribute also.
I ran the same report in RSRT and click on F4 help for NAV1 and NAV2 attributes, here entris are fine,each attribute showing only 100 entries.
What could be reason for this issue.
Could you please adivce me how to solve this.
Thanks in advance,
Venkat Kalla

Hi,
Please check Note 1495735 - 'check of changed records between DB and BIA after changerun'.
If BIA is in use then this can be the cause.
Otherwise check Note 1517248 - 'F4 help uses M mode instead of D mode for line item characteristic'.
Finally, verify the read modes for both InfoObjects:

F4 Help in Variable Screen during Query Execution

Hi All,
We are executing queries through WAD. The F4 help in the variable screen during query execution is taking a lot of time.
SAP note 661251 suggests changing the F4 mode to M. We need to change the booked value parameter.
I looked into the standard WAD web template but i'm not seeing any options/ooked value parameter.
Please suggest where I need to go to change the parameter. Thanks.
Regards,
Vivek

Not much experience in WAD but I think there should be a query in BEx Query Designer.
There you can choose that characteristics which takes time. Select "Advanced" tab from right hand side.
Under "Filter Value Selection During Query Execution" you will get 4 options.
BTW if you have a query on DSO then creating index ( secondary) on the affected characteristics would also resolve your problem

F4 help setting in Query variable screen 7.0

hi guys, you know when you execute a query you get a variable selection box and there is a little help icon next to the input field to do a selection search. how can i change its setting that if i click(f4 help) on it it only shows 25 items, currently its showing 1000 items and when a user click on it. It takes long time to load 1000 elements at once.

In variable screen, select the option SELECT FROM LIST
A new dialog box pops up
in this box select the option in Upper Right corner - SETTINGS
A new dialog box pops up again
Go to the tab VALUE Restrictions
Here you will see by default the 2nd option is selected where it says MAXIMUM NO. OF VALUES DISPLAYS - 1000
Change this manually by typing 25 in the box and click ok.

Help with variable screen

Hi ,
I have some problem at the variable screen. When I click the possible entries for 0calmonth in the query selection screen and I could not able to see the possible entries. The screen comes blank. When I check for 0calday and ocalweek i get the possible entries.
I have checked the data inside the infoprovider and the data is available in it. I have tried activating the 0calmonth again. I have tried all the possible options. Please help as it is very urgent.
Regards
Raghu

Hi,
Probably for the selections given while entering the query, the 0calmonth might not have been present.
Check in the infoprovider with the same selection parameters you are initialling giving while running the query and c whether the calmonth is there or not?
Also once check infoprovder whether the 0calmonth is updating r not

Compounded characteristic are not displayed in the variable screen (BI 700)

Hi Experts,
How to display compounded characteristic in the variable screen of queriies?
Example :
IO 0PROFIT_CTR is compounded to 0CO_AREA. Tryimg to select 0PROFIT_CTR via a variable,
only values of 0PROFIT_CTR are displayed in F4 opo up, not those of 0CO_AREA.
0CO_AREA is not restricted in any way in query definiton.
This happens in BEx Analyser as well as in web apllication.
Did anybody face this issue? How to solve it?
Thanks in advance for helpful replies.
Regards
Joe

Hi,
Thanks for replies. Possibly I did't explain my problem i a correct way.
'I 've a variable for 0PROFIT_CTR. When I call F4 , values for 0PROFIT_CTR are displayed
e.g. as
7062 PC 7062
7062 PC /062
My problem is, that these PCs belong to different Co_areas. so i expected
3200 7062 PC 7062
4300 7062 PC 7062
3200 an 4300 are representing compounded Co_areas in this example. In 3.5 this worked perfectly,
if Co_areas was not restricted itself with a variable or a defined value.
Now I'm looking for the option to achieve this as well in 700.

Joe

Variable screen performance in report

In my project we are having somany master data objects,
we have to find the performance of selection screen ,earlier we have only display as selection screen as key now according to our client requirment we are providing both key and text in sleection screen with long text , how can i find these master data objects performance in variable screen.
The SAP std out of the box setting for an Infoobject is usually the key.( Sometimes text )
We are now making changes to almost all info objects to display as key and text, and depending on what business is asking we are changing to Long text, medium or short.
Investigation required
1)       how does it affect the performance when we do F4 help
2)       how does it help in search by text
3)       what difference does it make when searching by key vs text.
My feel is if we show the key and text , definitely the key comes from Dimension table and the text will be fetched from the text table of the master data attribute
And hence for business partner etc it might really affect the time taken to fetch the variable values.
please help how to find the performance of variables.

Yeah, It won't have much impact on the performance of the selection screen.......
Even we are displaying both key and text for many reports but never faced a performance issue.......

Pop up message on the variable screen in portal when report is run

Hello
I have a requirement to pop up a message stating " Date should not be entered before 2010 "on the variable screen of the report if date is entered before 2010 by the user when the report is run.
Please can someone tell me how to implement this?
thanks

Hi Tom,
The logic could be to include code in CMOD forat variable with ISTEP=2.
IF I_STEP = 2.
LOOP AT i_t_var_range into wa_t_var_range where vnam = 'Date Varaible'
<write condition to check the year entered. First, using function module DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT, extract year from Date>
< CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT'
 EXPORTING
 I_DATE = ZT_SDT
 I_MONMIT = 00
 I_PERIV = 'Variant'
 IMPORTING
 E_BUPER = zbuper
 E_GJAHR = zbdatj this is the year entered
 EXCEPTIONS
 INPUT_FALSE = 1
 T009_NOTFOUND = 2
 T009B_NOTFOUND = 3
 OTHERS = 4>
>
Then check the year for the condition.
If correct.
exit.
else.
CALL FUNCTION 'RRMS_MESSAGE_HANDLING'
EXPORTING
I_CLASS = 'RSBBS'
I_TYPE = 'E'
I_NUMBER = '000'
I_MSGV1 = 'Date should not be entered before 2010'.
raise again.
endif.
endif.
endloop.
Hope this helps you.!

Variable screen/variant screen authorization issue

HI All,
We have implemented standard Cost Center Overview Report(0SR_C02_Q0002) in BI 7.
We have three selection fields:
1.Company Code which is mandatory
2.My controlling Area which is also mandatory
3.Costcenter which is not mandatory
The requirement we are facing over here is that in the Variable screen/variant screen when I enter a company code, then I need to display dynamically only those "My Controlling Area" values which are assigned to that particular company code and not all. In the same way after selecting the appropriate "My controlling area" value, I need to display only those cost centers in the cost center selection field which are assigned to the selected company code and My controlling area combination and not all.
can anyone guide me on how to go about on this authorization issue at the variable screen itself.
Please treat this issue/requirement on high priority.
Appreciated in advance.
Regards,
raps.

Hi,
I think that an alternative to solve your concern could be using Web Application Designer (WAD). In this respect, there are several design options, with different levels of complexity.
As the simplest alternative, you could create a WAD including your query and three Dropdown Boxes: one for Company, a second for Controlling area and another for Cost center. The four mentioned elements should be linked to the same dataprovider so, when you select a company, the options in the other two Dropdown boxes and the information in the query are updated.
In order to enforce mandatory filter selection at Company and Controlling area level, you should set NO_REMOVE_FILTER='X' in both two Dropdown boxes, so that "All values" option -which would mean no filtering- is not offered.
I hope this helps you.
Regards,
Maximiliano

Bookmark Issue in WAD (Report Output without Variable Screen)

Hi ,
This issue is with the Saving of Report Output to Bookmark.
Expected Output:
Clicking on the Bookmark should bring out the Report Output with the Period and Year, which was used while saving the Bookmark. It should not pop up variable screen at the beginning.
Issue:
Currently, when I click the bookmark, Its triggers the default template and it brings out the Variable Screen with the default Selections, which i dont want to. I need to get the same output with the values which I saved under Bookmark.
Please suggest me a solution...
Thanks / Selvan

Hi, i dont rememberm but, can you check mark you DP_1 and properties->Behavior->Display variables screen->on

Variable Screen

Hi,
Can we show a 'Information Message' on the variable screen for 1 particular query! I have a user exit variable in the query and I believe I can use this user exit variable to show the information message on the varable screen. When we run the query, we should see the variable screen with message on top of it.

Hi Rahul,
I doubt the first requirement is possible.
To have a pop-up message after we click on Print version button, please check these threads:
Pop Up to be displayed on Export to excel button click
user specific pop-up system message
Hope these helps..!
