Logic behind dynamic Text Elements in BEX

We are trying to find out how BEx gets the "Last Cube Refresh Date."   This can be added as a Text Element in BEx reports. What we are trying to do is determine which date is pulled when a BEx query is running agains a MultiProvider. We have one MultiProvider that consists of 3 Cubes and a DSO. When we run a query against the MP, and compare the "Last Cube Refresh Date" with the values stored in the 0BWTC_C07  cube, sometimes this date stamp matches one of them and sometimes it does not. I realize the times are offset for GMT and that is taken into consideration and we also realize that 0BWTC_C07 is not updated in real time.  So our question is still, where does the BEx query get the "Last Cube Refresh Date" when it's run?
Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
In the Multiprovider you may have multiple Infoproviders..
so in the report one KF and char will be getting populated from one Infoprovider and another from few other Infoproviders for eg..
so when it will run it will show the latest date for which it has displayed the data in the report for that cube.
also check following threads
The specified item was not found.
To display the Last Data refreshed Date in Webi Report in XI R3
If you want to display that "Status of Data " field in the report... Then you need to set it at...
Run the query -> from the BEx toolbar choose LAYOUT -> Display text elements -> General.
Status of data is the time on which the latest load occured to the cube. Lets say, you have built a report on a cube which is loaded on 01/10/2007. When you run the report, the status of data will show this date 01/10/2007 until you load the cube again. In this case, if you load on 01/20/2007, the status would now show up as 01/20/2007.
Note: If your report is built off a multiprovider with multiple base cubes...then the status of the load would be the latest date off of these cubes with this change...
Lets say the latest request loaded to
CUBE1 01/10/2007
CUBE2 01/15/2007
CUBE3 01/20/2007.
Then the status of the data in a report built off these cubes will be 01/10/2007
If you want to display that field in the report...
Run the query -> from the BEx toolbar choose LAYOUT -> Display text elements -> General.
Thanks and regards

  • Double text-elements in Bex-Query

    Hallo,
    i display all text-elements in a Bex-Query. The variables are shown double, sometimes both values of a shown variable are keys, sometimes one is a key and one is text. Does anyone knows the reason and how to change it?
    I've read SAP note no. 541024 and execute the report RENAME_DUPLICATE_ELEMENTS but the names of my variables weren't in the list and so I think it has nothing to do with this note.
    Thank You!
    Message was edited by: Dirk Schwarzer

    Hi,
    If you display all textelements, there are always going to be double ones. Thats because of there are is an element for the variable and another element for the filter value for the InfoObject on which the variable is based on.
    However I don't know exactly when it displays text or key!

  • Dynamic text element (Text Symbols)

    Hi,
    How can we make text element dynamic?
    Ex:
    If I want a text "Consider date g_date" where g_date is populated from program. Can I pass g_text like <b>text-001 g_text</b>?
    Thanks.

    If you need it for a message, just use a predefined generic one, i.e
    MESSAGE s000(0k) WITH 'Consider date' gdate '' ''.
    Then you don't even have to define 'Consider date' as a text-symbol. But you can. Then it is
    MESSAGE s000(0k) WITH text-001 gdate '' ''.

  • Changes in the Text element of Bex Analyzer result Informaton tab

    Hi Expert,
    How can we make changes in the display of the Text element of the query result in the Information tab and save it? For eg. The User wants to display STATUS OF DATA TO rather than STATUS OF DATA in the Information tab of the query result.
    The query is based on Multiprovider so it has Text Element of STATUS OF DATA
    In the Workbook its easy to do, how do we do the changes in the query result in Analyzer and save it, so it always displays the chosen text element?
    I dont want to create a workbook for the query, so is there any way to replace any of the Text Element with another existing standard Text element.

    Hi Ray,
    Thanks for your reply.
    The change is required in the Text element of information tab (once query is displayed there are buttons for Graph, Information), so the changes are required there for the text element and  not for Characterstics and KF.

  • Dynamic Text Elements

    Hi ,
                     I have a requirment as follows : Need to build Text Paragraphs in a view dynamically. Can you please provide some sample code .
    Regards,
    Kumar.

    Hi,
    I'm not sure how much that will help, I use a TextEdit element, in there I have several lines which are loaded from a text table.
    To achieve a line break I use a sign which is a constant: cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline
    so I just concatenate line by line ending with that sign and bind it on a context attribute. I haven't tried it with TextElement, let me know if it works (I don't have access right now)
    Peace yo

  • Dynamic layout elements determination logic for output of Pro-Forma Invoice

    This is my requirement below. Please give the suggestion    
    Business requires output to be generated in name of the client, with client logo and scenario specific data elements. To do this in Standard SAP will require to define hundreds and hundreds of layouts. By making most of the client/scenario elements on the layout we can greatly reduce the number of required layouts and reduce implementatuion effort and lead-time.
         The goal is to define a generic table that will hold most of the dynamic layout elements for different document types and countries, including logo, sender address etc.
          For this we will create Z-versions of the output types BA00 ( Order Confirmation, ZPRI (Pro-Forma Invoice) and RD00 (ZD00 Invoice).The layout text blocks will be permanently fixed.The print Program user-exit should call the Z-table that holds the dynamic layout elements and retrieve these elements and merge them with the matching layout text block.
    Message was edited by: janardhan b

    Hi Janardhan,
       Even I have faced the similar situation.but what we have done is instead of calling the dynamic text elements..Why don't we call the text elements based on the required condition ,Then u dont have to maintain all the text elements required in the table.In the table we can only have the doumnent type,client name,logo name and address.
    In the print program if u r using script layout then call the required text elements (write_text) based on the client name and document type that is fetched from the Z-table,Otherwise if u r going for smartforms then with in the layout give the condition under the conditions node of the window or the text.

  • Dynamic Text getting messed up

    I have a "Dynamic Text" element called "output_txt".  In my action script code, I have this line:
    output_txt.text = "I am thinking of a number between 1 and 100";
    But what actually gets displayed in that element, after that line runs is:
    "thinin o  ne etween  n 00"
    Some of the letters are randomly getting dropped.  Any ideas on what could be going wrong? 
    (I'm using Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5 version 11.5.0.325.)

    Thanks for the answer.  I was actually using "classic text", and I had clicked the embed font button.  But I when checking it again, I notice that you have to select a character range or nothing actually gets embedded.  Clicking "all" under the character range resolved the issue.

  • Dynamic text in Long text of message

    Hi All
    Can you please guide me that how dynamic text are maintained in long text of the messages.
    I have used variable name between 2 ampersands 1.e. &var&..but its nt working. Where could be the mistake ?
    Regards,
    Shreya

    The problem is... I want to show an error message. and when user double clicks on that message, a pop up screen should come showing the detailed description of that message which also contains some dynamic text...eg:
    The message is "Please maintain ABC field for Company Code &1".
    To this short text i want to give a long text description eg:
    "For the Combination of Compay Code &2 and Account &3, ABC field should not be blank".
    Dynamic text element in short text is working fine,  but in long text it is showing &2 and &3..,, ie these are not populated with values.
    Where could be the mistake ?

    Hi Gurus,
    We have a Query in BEx : Each  Key figure column text changes dynamically - Like based on Present month
    it will Display Month +1 Month +2  up to Month +12.  Used  dynamic Text variables .
    But when i created the universe and Webi report , i am missing the text in the column for Key figures .
    How should i get the column text in Webi which is same as in Bex : Points will be awarded for helpful
    answers.
    Thanks
    Magge

    Hi,
    text variables with replacement path are supported in BO4.0, see following document: SAP BusinessObjects BI4 - Supported BEx Query Elements
    As an example after entering 2012 in the prompts window, the name of the corresponding key figure will dynamically change:
    After refreshing and selecting 2013, the column name will update:
    Im not sure though if this is the case with unv universe access to BEx queries.

  • Text elements in the Bex Report

    Bex Gurus,
    When we execute the Bex report, it will display with icons on top as Chart, Filter and Information - Information will display all the text elements as standard. Right now I want to modify these standard elements and disply the text elements which are more meaningful to any business user when they execute any report/query in Bex

    Version:
    I want to implement this in Bex excel report when we click on Informaion icon which will show the text elements as explaiend above. (I know it is possible with WAD when we design the code)

    You may do this in a workbook inserting Buttons in design mode.
    I dont think so there is an easy way to accomplish this when a report is executed.
    May be possible with lot of coding....

  • Dynamic text in Data elements

    Hi all,
              Can we populate the data element text dynamically.
             For eg: we have field  TXT whose data element is ZTEXT and the short text that appears in the table is TEXT.
            Now we want to create two other fields TXT1 and TXT2 and the text that needs to appear should be other than TEXT (could be TEXT1 & TEXT2) is it possible to do such kind of modifications..
          To boil down, we want to use one data element across different fields but that text needs to be diffferent.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Regards,
    Kishore Yerra.

    The text is inherited from the data element. While creating tables you have 2 options 'Data Elements'   OR  'BUILT-IN  / PREDEFINED' see the button next to SEARCH HELP button in the table - toolbar.
    In such case why you want to use the Text element, you can use th BUILT-IN  / PREDEFINED Types, You can direcly give the field name and type along with required texts.
    Hope it will help.
    Regards,
    Vishal

    soultion like.

  • Creating text elements dynamically by program

    Hi all,
    Do you know how I can create text symbols or selection texts dynamically by program? (calling a FM or editing a table?)
    What's the table for text elements?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mathieu

    Hi,
    Not sure of FM. But programically u can do.
    Check the statement
    INSERT TEXTPOOL PROGRAM FROM TAB LANGUAGE
    SY-LANGU.
    This creates the text elements in the specifies program and in specified language.
    Not only text elements but also list headings u can create.
    Check below sample code given by SAP.
    DATA: PROGRAM(8) VALUE 'PROGRAM',
          TAB LIKE TEXTPOOL OCCURS 50 WITH HEADER LINE.
    TAB-ID = 'T'. TAB-KEY = SPACE.  TAB-ENTRY = 'Sales'.
    APPEND TAB.
    TAB-ID = 'I'. TAB-KEY = '200'.  TAB-ENTRY = 'Tax'.
    APPEND TAB.
    TAB-ID = 'H'. TAB-KEY = '001'.  TAB-ENTRY = 'Name   Age'.
    APPEND TAB.
    TAB-ID = 'S'. TAB-KEY = 'CUST'. TAB-ENTRY = 'Customer'.
    APPEND TAB.
    TAB-ID = 'R'. TAB-KEY = SPACE.  TAB-ENTRY = 'Test program'.
    APPEND TAB.
    SORT TAB BY ID KEY.
    INSERT TEXTPOOL PROGRAM FROM TAB LANGUAGE SY-LANGU.
    eg:TAB-ID = 'I'.                 For Text elements
    TAB-KEY = '200'.             Text element number
    TAB-ENTRY = 'Tax'.        Actual text
    But use it only for new developments. Bucause it may overwrite the existing texts.
