Manage the filter of a caracteristic variable in a dynamic way

Dear expert,
I would like to maintain the values of a filter of a caracteristic variable in the table TVARVC so that the users could modify them as they want. (In my user exit, i will call the variables stocked in the table)
But the problem i have is that it seems impossible to define multiple values for a variable in TVARVC.
Is there anyone who knows this? Or some other solutions to manager a filter or default values of a caracteristic variable ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jef,
What do you mean by impossible ? The key NUMB of the TVARVC is intended for multiple values (type S for Select-option and a different NUMB for the different values).

Fred

Switching off the filter area in Workbook 3.5

Hi guys,
how can I switch off the filter area in the old version of the analyzer workbook 3.5.
This area is always on the left part of the workbook on the top.
In this workbook I need only the table with the result.
Regards
Erwin

Hi Erwin,
As I know you can hide the filter for key figures but there is no way to hide the characteristics filter. The only option is do not include any characteristics in Free characteristics or row area (not a feasible option in many cases) but if you don't want any characteristics data then you can go for this option.

Displaying Text in the Filter charectaristics in the portal

Hi Everybody,
I got a problem in the portal.
When i am selecting Filter values in portal, Some Filte Char´s just showing Keys, but not Text. But some of them are showing text too. So, I need to display text instead of Keys.
I tried to change Infoobject properties In Business Explorer Tab with Text. And also i did in the Business Explorer. Even I am not able to see text in the Filter Char´s. Is there any other way to diplay Text in Filter Char´s.
Please reply to me as soon as possible.
Thanks,

Hi Suri,
I don't have an 04s system right now, but check in help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/80/1a644ce07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/content.htm
The option I suggested is shown in the same place. See Structure-Specific Properties of the InfoObject in the above link...

In the filter the value of text variable is not shown, only technical name.

Hi All,
We have some odd behavior of text variables in the filter screen of key-figures.
After entering values in the variable screen, the report is executed.
Within the report all text variables are filled, with the values entered in the variable screen.
I say all, because we use both sap standard variables &0T_FPER& as customer specific &ZFSCYR&.
When i want to change the key figures showned, i press the filter icon for key-figures (BW 3.5)
In the list shown: existing filtervalues, the textvariables of SAP standard are filled with the value entered in the variable screen. However the customer specific is shown with the technical name (&ZFSCYR&) and not the value.
Has anyone experience with this behavior or even better a solution to prevent this?
As allways, each usefull answer points assigned!
Regards,
René

Hi Rene,
If ur custom text variable is not getting populated then you need to check out the code that u have written in there in CMOD for this and ofcourse if ur using this text variable after report execution then it will definately be in i_step 2.
So best way is to debug your code and check that using code RSRT.

Creating variables in Process Flows and using thse variables in the filter

Hi,
I am new to OWB and in learing stage. Need to information.
*1. as to how pass/create/use variables to OWB mapping ?*
*2. Creating variables in Process Flows and using thse variables in the filter operator of the OWB mapping?*
*3. Other mechanisms of how to create/use variables within OWB mapping itself ?*
can you please provide the above details and guide me / help me in this regard.
Thanks,
skms.

1. Add parameters to your mapping using the MAPPING INPUT PARAMETER from the pallette.
2. Add parameters to the START operator in the process flow. Bind the process flow parameter to the Mapping parameter.
3. May be appropriate to use CONSTANTS instead of parameters.

SPSiteDataQuery - filter by file Title - Can I use variable for the filter value?

I use SPsiteDataQuery to search across multiple lists and filter by file title. I have the file title information in a variable.
Can I use variable in the filter value?
string fileName = "Policies.doc"
SPSiteDataQuery spQry = new SPSiteDataQuery();
spQry.ViewFields = "<FieldRef Name='Title'/><Value Type='Text'>fileName</Value>"

If I have understood correctly, you want to search based upon a File title in all the sites. You can include a query to filename in the spQry
spQry.Query = "<Where>" +
"<Eq>" +
"<FieldRef Name=\"FileLeafRef\"/>" +
"<Value Type=\"Text\">" + fileName + "</Value>" +
"</Eq>" +
"</Where>";

Query Manager- Filter List Missing Values in the Filter List.

Hello experts,
We would like your help in the following issue.
We are using SAP B1 9.0 (PL10).
When we run a query report from the query manager in SAPB1, the report results that are displayed contain an extended list of names, starting from A to Z. When we use the filters button in this report, in the filter field with the BP Names the list contains only the names from A to M, and not the rest.
Please advise us, if anyone has faced the same issue.
Thank you in advance,

How to set the filter on a report to show the data for the Current Month

Hi all,
I am working on a report, which currently has this filter: Date First Worked is greater than or equal to 10/01/2010. This reports show the data for the current month, so at the beginning of each month we have to remember to change the date on the filter.
Does anyone know what the criteria should say, so that it automatically changes and shows the information for the current month, without us having to go in and change anything?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
AA

You need to add a session variable to date fir worked assuming that this is a date field.
To do this open up the filter on the field then at then press add Variable then "session" and enter the following CURRENT_MONTH into the Server Variable section.

Using sql in the filter expression

For a project I need to use a filter which is a construction
with BETWEEN dateFrom AND dateTo.
But the user does not choose these datevalues,
he chooses timePeriods which have a unique startDate.
The dashboard prompts are populated with these timePeriods and the user chooses 2 of these and 2
presentation variables are set.
Now I need to retrieve the according startDate for a chosen timePeriod.
I tried to do this using a sub-query in the filter expression,
but this seems not to be valid in Answers.
In standard SQL it is expressed like this:
select table1.* from table1
where table1.dateValue BETWEEN
+(select table2.startDate from table2 where table2.timePeriod = 'theChosenValue1')+
AND
+(select table2.startDate from table2 where table2.timePeriod = 'theChosenValue2')+
The return of the subqueries are single row, as it should in such constructions.
I want the where clause to be in the filter expression for the dateValue column in Answers.(trimming of the WHERE keyword)
Is there any other construction that does this trick in the BI Answers/Dashboard environment to do this?
Kind regards

Hi Micek,
Thanks for your quick reaction.
Yes you are right the ChosenValues will be replaced by presentation-variables in the final dashboard,
I just am testing it with constant values in the Answers module.
The problem seems to be that it is not allowed to use a sub-query in the filter expression.
The Answers web application says there is a syntax problem near <select>, while I expect the SQL to be valid.
I guess not all regular SQL is allowed in filter expressions.
And since the report does not try to fetch data, no log of a generated, real SQL is written to the logfile.
I need some alternative for the subquery, but one that is allowed in the filter expression.
The problem is based on the fact that the user chooses a different value then the one that is filtered on.
The timePeriods represent just one startDate, but I cannot use timePeriod itself to filter on.
Because I need a between value, wich does not make sense for a timePeriod element
such as '01-08' or 'JAN-08'.
Several timePeriod notations are used, so using SubString and || to calculate a numeric value from the timePeriod varchar2 is not a good option.
The error says:
Error getting drill information: SELECT "....
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27002] Near <SELECT>: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012] . (HY000)
Any input is welcome
kind regards

Adding a Default value to the Filter in a Workbook

Hi,
I have created a workbook in BI 7.0. In the Filter, for a variable its displaying '#' as default value, but i want to display one of my variable values there.
I added this value in the 'Default values' tab of the variable in the Query Designer. After saving the query, i went to workbook, clicked on the Filter button, changed to design mode, clicked on the Filter pane, assigned the query as the Infoprovider& saved the workbook. But still i am getting the '#' in my Filter.
I closed the workbook, opened it again & refreshed it but still i couldnt see the variable i added. Am i missing any other thing? Please guide me. Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Murali

Hi,
adding a value as default value for a variable is only relevant for the selection screen.
If u want to define # in the navigation pane u can do that there and save the workbook.
Then # is saved as filter on workbook lvl, but its changeable by the user.
Hint: In analysis mode disable "initial query view on refresh" in dataprovider settings of the analysis grid.

Tobias
P.S. Giving points is the way to say thx in SDN!!!

Problem setting the value of a substitution variable in a calc script

Hi, All.
I'm trying to update the value of a substitution variable inside an IF statement and I'm having trouble.
Here's the code:
*"Jan"(*
IF (LoopCounter = 1) &varEntity = "100";
ENDIF;)
the error I get back from EAS is:
Error: 1200336 Error parsing formula for [Jan] (line 54): [(] without [)]

I know CL knows a lot about HBR, if he's around today... LOL
As a matter of fact, I just used an HBR (not using Calc Manager till I have to)'s macro functionality to drive fx for different Scenarios in a Planning app. Here's how I call the macro:
          /*     Call the macro mcrFxCoreOutYears for the four fx rate types for ALL 12 months of the year.     */
          FIX(&BudYear)
               %mcrFxCoreOutYears(Constant)
               %mcrFxCoreOutYears(Comparable)
               %mcrFxCoreOutYears(Estimate)
               %mcrFxCoreOutYears(Actual)
          ENDFIXI pass the Scenarios Constant, Comparable, Estimate, and Actual to the macro mcrFxCoreOutYears. You can apply HBRs against Essbase.
I believe (I can't remember what exactly -- is it that templates don't accept parameters? That seems hard to believe. Looking at a CM template, that does seem to be the case. Bummer if I'm right.) that Calc Manager BRs have less functionality wrt templates, but I haven't worked with CM for over a year.
It works really well -- a single place to maintain code and no appreciable performance cost.
You cannot launch a HBR from a MaxL script but HBRs can be launched from command lines -- this may constrain where you place your automation (it basically has to run off of whatever the EAS server is. You may end up shelling out of MaxL to execute the HBR or even execute scripts across servers -- that does get more complicated.).
Anyway, if you have any more questions, ask away -- it really is a very powerful component. I will have to look at CM more closely (sooner or later I will lose the HBR vs CM argument and at least need to know if templates support parameters) to see if I'm right on what I wrote above.
Regards,
Cameron Lackpour
P.S. You cannot define an ARRAY in an HBR macro because ARRAY arrayname[value] gets read as a parameter. I ended up declaring the array in the calling HBR.
P.P.S. I really need to write up the fx approach in a blog post -- it is wicked fast and really easy to use. Too many other posts in the queue already.

In a document library : group by view and manage metadata filter & Navigation problem

Hi all, I encounter a problem when configuring a document library using a group by view and in combination with the Managed Metadata filtering and
navigation :
- all the documents appear under my group by, even the ones that does not correspond
- In the other hand, the number in brackets shows the correct number of documents that should be shown
See screenshot below.
Did you already encounter that issue ? Is there a workaround ?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use a group by view and combine with the Managed Metadata filtering and navigation in a document library
to show the corresponding documents with the correct numbers in SharePoint 2013.
In my SharePoint 2013, I created a view which was group by two columns and combine with the Metadata Navigation Hierarchies and Key Filters some fields in a document
library. As a result, it showed only items matching the filter values.
So, I recommend that you can follow the steps to implement it in your environment.
Step1: Enable Metadata Navigation and Filtering:
Metadata Navigation and Filtering is a Site Feature that has to be activated for this to work.
And, the Metadata Navigation and Filtering feature is enabled by default on most sites.
If it is not enabled for your site, you can enable it on the Site Features pages for your site.
You must be a Site Owner or a Site Collection Administrator to enable Metadata Navigation and Filtering.
1. Go to “Site Settings” and click “Manage site features” under Site Actions.
2. Find “Metadata Navigation and Filtering” in the Features list and click “Activate”.
Step2:
Configure Metadata Navigation:
You must have a least the Manage Lists permission level to configure metadata navigation for a list or library.
1. Open the document library for which you want to configure metadata navigation.
2. Go to “Library Settings” of the document library and click “Metadata navigation settings” under “General Settings”.
3. In the Configure Navigation Hierarchies section, select the field or fields you want to display in the navigation hierarchy and then click “Add”.
4. By default, Folders are automatically displayed in the navigation hierarchy. If you do not want folders to display, select Folders, and then click Remove.
5. In the Configure Key Filters section, select the fields you want to add as Key Filters, and then click “Add”.
6. In the Configure automatic column indexing for this list, specify whether you want to automatically create indices on this list to increase the performance of the
queries that users will perform when they use the Navigation Hierarchy and Key Filter columns you've specified. It is recommended that you select the option “Automatically manage column indices on this list”.
7. Click “OK”.
Step3: Set a group by two columns by modifying view in the document library:
1. Go to the “LIBRARY” ribbon of the document library and click the “Modify view”.
2. Click the “Group By” and select up to two columns to determine what type of group and subgroup the items in the view will be displayed in.
3. Click “OK”.
Step4:
Go back to the document library, apply Navigation Hierarchies and Key Filters to do a test in your environment.
The result will like as below:
There is an article about how to apply Metadata Navigation Filtering in SharePoint 2013 for your reference.

Custom drop down list for the filter for BEX report

Hi, all:
I am writing a query for a BEX report that prompts the user to enter a value for a field "GL account". I would like to have the user select from a limited number of GL options rather than have the whole Chart of accounts show up. Is there a way to make a "custom" drop down list for the filter?
Thanks!
Jenny

You need to make your GL account info object as an authorization object. And in the info object ,for BEx you need to select the option "only authorized values".
Create an analyis authorization on gl account and assign the restricted set of GL accounts to the user. Asign this analysis authorization to the user.In the query restrict this infoobject with an authorization variable. This would solve your purpose.user would be able to see only a selected set of GL accounts for which he is authorized.

How to reuse a value set in the filter into an LMD process

Using apex 3.2, I'm wondering how to re-use the value currently set into the filter (interactive report) into a LMD process attached to a button created on the same page.
The process on Submit - after validations and computations, I presume, should look like to the following statement, but in a dynamic way:
begin
insert into table2 select * from table1
where study = 'ABCD';
end;
I tested the following clauses options, which none of them work:
a) where study = :STUDY
b) where study = :IR_STUDY
setting the debbug to on, I could realize that the report was based on (apparently, APEX generates APXWS_EXPR_1 bind variable for the first parameter and APXWS_EXPR_2 if a second parameter is used into the filter, and so on...) :
where ("STUDY" = :APXWS_EXPR_1)
and then saw :
0.28: IR binding: ":APXWS_EXPR_1"="APXWS_EXPR_1" value="ABCD"
0.28: IR binding: ":APXWS_MAX_ROW_CNT"="APXWS_MAX_ROW_CNT" value="10000"
of course, I thought that the clause 'where ("STUDY" = :APXWS_EXPR_1)' could work. Unfortunaltely, not.
any king of support is welcome.
Thanks a lot,
Bruno

but I don't know how to execute it from putty ? Can some one help me.Use the same command. Just make sure you are logged in as applmgr user and source the application env file before you run the command. Also, make sure you issue the command in a directory where applmgr has read/write privilege.
