Max number of entries in the variable input list (F4) of Bex Analyzer Query

Dear BW experts,
When I run the Bex Analyzer query, it pops up the variable input screen.
If I don't know the specific value of the variable, then I can click on the input help (F4) to get a list of available values. There is a max number of entries coming back to the list. For my BW system, it is currently returning 500 values. For other people and SAP Help document, it could be 1000.
My question is: Do you know where we can configure/set this max value? Is it a global setting?
Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.
Kevin-

Murali & Pra,
Thanks for both of your answers. I think the answers that you provided are for BW 7.X version.
It is flexible and exactly the way it should be for each user to customize a specific variable.
I am running BW 3.5 query, and don't see the "Settings" option/button after I got the list of single values back.
Is there a way to set this up for BW 3.5 query Analyzer? My max value is always 500 for all variables. Is there a place for setting this value and save for the next time.
Any help from any BW experts is appreciated.

Actual values & Plan Values Entry in the same Input Ready Query

Hi Gurus,
I have a problem about preparing input ready queries with combination of actual data and plan data together. Forexample :
I want to plan my sales quantity for estimate months ( 9,10,11,12 ). But in same query, i want to show sales quantities in actual months (1.....8 ) . I have one key figure : Sales Quantity and two versions : Actual and Plan. And restrictions are like below :
Actual Sales :
Key figure : Sales Quantity
Version : Actual
Fiscal Periods : 9,10,11,12
Fiscal year : 2008
(values cannot be changed)
Plan Sales :
Key figure : Sales quantity
Version : Plan
Fiscal Periods : 1.....8
Fiscal Year : 2008
(values can be changed by inputs or planning functions)
I did those restrictions to key figures in ''columns'' area in BEX Query Designer. And i also added 0FISCPER3 to ''columns'' area in order to see periods in query.
I expect to see a 12 months period, which has 8 months actual and 4 months open for planning.
But when i execute the query, it shows me two 12 months periods. Like, Actual Sales 1......12 and following Plan Sales 1.....12 side by side. But i want to combine those two 12 months periods in one year.
Where do i make mistake? or is it how system works?
I would really appreciate for your answers.
Thanks,
Fatih...

Hi,
Actions in details:
1. Run BEx Analyzer, connect to the system;
2. Open the workbook;
3. Workbook is opened, press the button "Design Mode";
4. ALT+F11 for opening VB Editor;
5. Insert new module "Module1" in project of my workbook (not in BExAnalyzer.xla);
6. Write the code of macros "ON_BEX_REFRESH";
7. Close the VB Editor window;
8. BEx Analyzer window is still in design mode, press the button "Workbook Settings";
9. In "General" tab mark the checkbox "Refresh Workbook on Open";
10. In "Exits" tab mark the radiobutton "Invoke macro on refresh" and write "ON_BEX_REFRESH" in the textbox;
11. Press the button "Attach Macros", appears the message "VBA Macros have been succesfully Attached to the Workbook", press OK for accepting the message;
12. Press "OK" to close the Workbook Settings window;
13. Press the button "Exit Design Mode";
14. Click on right mouse button on table (on inserted query), choose "Transfer Values";
15. If macros is working, press "Save Workbook".
I'm using BEx Support Package 16. Therefore it is possible, if I remember correctly, that in older versions of BEx the names of some tabs in workbook settings are different.
If you are using older version of BEx and these 14 steps don't help you, then try to do the following in next steps:
15. Press the button "Design Mode";
16. Open Analysis Grid Properties (select table, click on right mouse button, properties);
17. In 'General' tab do so that none checkbox is marked;
18. Press OK;
19. Press the button "Exit Design Mode";
20. Click on right mouse button on table (on inserted query), choose "Transfer Values";
If now macros is working then you can start to find out which checkboxes you can mark and which have to be unmarked in Analysis Grid Properties.
In my case 3 checkboxes is marked: "Apply Formatting"; "Allow Navigation"; "Display Hierarchy Icons". As I mentioned above it is in BEx SP16, if you have older version then you have to find out the checkboxes which you can use, which not.

Variable window not showing through BEx analyzer

HI Experts,
I am facing a weired situation with one of the variable.
I have a Customer Exit variable which is Input Ready and entry is Mandatory, i wrote some code in CMOD to fetch default values through I_STEP=1 and my requirement is that user should able to change the values if needed.
now, the problem is, I can able to get the variable input screen when i execute the query through RSRT with Query display mode as HTML. But when i execute the same query in BEx analyzer or through RSRT with different Query Display modes like List/Bex Analyzer am not getting the variable input screen.
The variable is taking the default value generated through CMOD code and the same values are being used in determining the query output..
Please suggest me what do i need to do inorder to view the Variable input screen in BEx analyzer.
I am using BEx Analyzer 3.x for the queries and working with
SAP Version   -
   SAP EHP 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0
DB:                  -
   ORACLE 11.2.0.2.0
OS                   -
    AIX

I found the solution in one of the SAP notes and the issue is resolved.
We used Note: "1609237" to resolve the issue. Hope this might help anyone who faces this same problem..

Max number of dataproviders in the same workbook

Hi,
Do you know please what is the max number of dataproviders (recommanded by SAP) we can use in the same workbook / Bex analyzer?
For information, we are in BI 7 based on excel 2003.
Thx.
Radj.

One suggestion is:
Each tab (copy of the query) would have distinct filter value(s). In workbook settings, Uncheck "Allow Refresh of Individual Queries". Also in WB settings, Do Not Refresh at Opening. For the entire 50-tab workbook, the filter is limited to a minimum: company code and the date range because the other filters are hardcoded in each tab. When you refresh and change variable values at opening the file, all you enter is the company code value and the date
You might also want to change the Grid Properties: Uncheck Apply Formatting (for performance); and Uncheck Allow Navigation. You can add these back later. Might as well uncheck Sort.
I have my own question about the DPs. Can you rename them from the generic Data Provider 1 or copy of Data Provider 1?

How to Verify the Variable Input in Customer EXIT

Hi,
      I have a requirement to find out "Estimated Hours Total Calculation" with User input date range. I know little bit knowledge about Customer Exits please some one give me how to write code in CMOD. I have requirement how to get the Extimated Hours Total Calculation is follows ....
        Actual hours are the Hour Meter Reading used by the truck, it's calculated based on the "from and to" date parameters.
Collect the initial hours and adjusted hours from EM.
Get the PMN and Service Order data close to or within the Date Range.
1) If the Fleet Management Date (Start-up Date on EM) started before the input date Date Range (From-Date), calculate the average usage (in hours) based on the initial hours and the first PMN (or SO) falls within the Date Range to estimate the hour usage at start of Date Range.
2) If the Fleet Management Date started after the From-Date, use the Hour Meter (EM) as the Estimated Hours Begin.
3)If the last PMN (or SO) fell short of the Date Range (To-Date), obtain the Estimated Hours End by applying the average usage to fill the time-gap.
4)If the last PMN (or SO) fell after the Date Range (To-Date), get the Estimated Hours End by getting the next to last PMN performed inside the window parameter,
     calculate the average usage between the two PMN's (or SO's) then apply the weighted average to fill the time-gap.
Adjusted Hours, if not zero or null, needs to be added to the Ending Hours to achieve the real number.
For Example
User Input Date Range: Jan. 1, 2006 - Dec. 31, 2006
Initial Hour (Equipment Master): 10
Adjusted Hours (Equipment Master): 0
Fleet Management Date (Equipment Master): Dec. 1, 2005
1st PM Notification (Feb. 1, 2006): 410
Last PM Notification (Feb. 1, 2007): 2810
Second to last PMN (Dec. 1, 2006): 2410
     Equipment was put into service (12/1/05) before the Date Range, needs to find the Estimated Hours Begin.
     The first PM was performed (2/1/06) exactly two months from in-service date (12/1/05).
     Average monthly usuage from first PMN = (410 - 10) / 2 = 200
     Estimated Hours Begin = 200 + 10 = 210 (estimated Hour Meter Reading on Jan. 1, 2006)
     Average monthly usuage from the last 2 PMN = (2810 - 2410) / 2 months = 200
     Estimated Hours End = 2410 + 200 + 0 (adjusted hours) = 2610 (estimated Hour Meter Reading on Dec. 31, 2006)
     Estimated Hours Total = 2610 - 210 = 2400
           Please give me your valuable answers. Please let me know if you need any further information.
Thanks
Dave Sam.

hi,
well, your requirement seems clear but complex and needs more clarification:
- what kind of infoprovider do you use
- what is posted in your provider, I mean which characteristics and and key figures (name and descriptions)
- what is the user input
depending on that, the implementation may vary
Please clarifiy
Olivier.

Number of entries in the list industry sector varies (Transaction MM01)

Hell friends
I have 2 different ECC servers. When I try to create a material using transaction MM01, I see different lists on them.
Both of them were installed recently and so everything available there are standard SAP created data.
When I enter transaction code MM01 and select the list Industry Sector on the first server, I see a huge list starting with AgriculturalServices, AutoRepairServicesParking, BldgMaterialsHWGardenSupp etc. (More than 25 in number).
However, I try the same thing on the second server I see only 5 of them. I am looking for Finished product on this second server and I don't see that, which is a standard industry sector according to what I have read.
Could some one please let me know why this difference and also how to see all the entries in the list?
Your response will be highly appreciated.
Tks

Number of entries in the internal table for perticular field value

hi All,
Is this possible to get the count of records from the internal table for a perticular field value.
currently my requirement is to get the entries from the internal table which does not have two records for perticular field value (say a = 123) whose status is active (say b = 'X').
also suggets should use LOOP or DELETE or DESCRIBE for a internal table to ful fill this requirement.
Thanks in advance.
Pradeep

Try like this..
Create another table itab2 with same structure as itab1 & move the contents of itab1 to itab2
ITAB2[] = ITAB1[].
Then delete entries from itab2
Delete itab2 whete a = '123' and b = 'X'
Then use Describe statement to get the no of entries
Describe table itab2 lines v_lines.
Hope this helps...

Is there anyway to edit the names of the Variables/Tags listed in the .IAK file

I have an .IAK file that has several (about 130) different fieldpoint devices in it and each device has about 90 variables names listed. I have modified all the names in order to shorten them and standardize/nomalize the variable names. I would like to be able to just rename the variables in the IAK file, instead of going to each device, connect, 'find devices' in MAX, Save the IAK File (which takes about 10min each) and then drive to the next device and repeat the process 130 times. I've seen programs that let you view the IAK file, just wondering if the IAK can be edited programmatically.

The reason is the IAK file has ALL 130+ fieldpoint devices listed, with approx 85 tags per FP, and I have to get the tag information from each site, then I have to copy that file to the server and reload the server. If (like what happened yesterday) there is a problem saving the .IAK file or the .IAK file gets corrupted, I have to go back to ALL 130+ FP devices and get the information again. Also, with that many FP stations in the IAK file, it takes a considerable amount of time per save (approx 10min). On the server, I get the data from these FP devices through OPC that uses the .IAK file. It's really not an idea situation, but it's what I have to work with.
If it can't be done, it can't be done. I would think that the file has to be saved in some format, granted probably some proprietary NI format, but if I knew the format, I could write a program to edit it, unless it's also compressed in some propritary NI format.

WRT600N Doesn't show any entries in the Wireless Client List

Hi, my WRT600N is on firmware 1.01.35 build 3. When I check the wireless client list from the Wireless MAC Filter page, it is empty, even though I know I have 3 clients connected. They are all using 802.11g, as I don't have any N devices yet. When I go to the Status page and check the DHCP Client Table, both of my wired clients are there, but only 1 wireless client appears. The DHCP Client Log file is useless, as it only appears to log the ip address it receives from my isp. There are no entries of the ip addresses it has given out. Is my WRT600N defective, or is there firmware in the works to correct this?

Another thing I've notice, is that the DHCP client table is showing the 2.4 wireless devices as LAN interfaces. Shouldn't it show the frequency, like it does my one 5GHz device? Things have changed, because the Wii is now showing in both the Wireless Client List, as well as the DHCP Client table. It shows as a LAN interface though, which is wrong, it should be 2.4GHz. My one pc that is a 5GHz N device, is also showing in both the Wireless Client List, & the DHCP Client table. Neither the wireless 2.4 gaming adapter, or the HR20 connected to it show up in either list. Neither does a laptop which is 2.4GHz. This is really a concern, because I've caught 2 neighbors stealing my bandwidth in the past, and I can't stop them if I can't see them.

How do I remove a form completion entry in the form completion list?

This question originally appeared in the question:
How do you take something out of the suggestion drop down sign-in list?
The suggested answer is fine for desktop Firefox (click on form, down arrow to show list, click on entry and hit DELETE) but doesn't work for the Android version. I can get the drop-down list, of course, but highlighting an entry and hitting the BACKSPACE doesn't delete the entry. As far as I can tell, once it's in a list, it's there for keeps. or is it?

What steps are you taking to remove the form from Tracker?

Suppress entries in the drop down list box for fields Priority and Category

Hello,
For the transaction type 'Service Process' , I want to suppress certain values in the drop down list box for the fields Priority and Category based on certain conditions.I couldn't find a suitable badi for this scenario.
Is there a solution so that I can control the values displayed in the drop down list box ?

Variable hierarchy display not changed (BEx analyzer)

Hi
We have a BEx query, in which a drilldown characteristic is displayed as an hierarchy
Hierarchy display is active
Selected hierarchy:
Name - constant
Version - customer exit variable
Customer exit calculates version from manual input variable.
We need to view the report in BEx Analyzer.
When the query is opened, we select manual input variables and the hierarcy's version is set correctly.
The issue is that when we change manual input variables at runtime, the data is refreshed,
but hierarchy display is not changed. The selected hierarchy's version remains unchanged.
In order to change hierarchy display, we need to open characteristic properties and change the selected hierarchy manually
or we need to reopen the query and provide another manual input variables.
Our system version is 7.01 patch level 9
Is there any way to fix this problem
Or some workaroud?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Michael, thank you for reply.
But I don't see how these notes may help me with my problem.
1753959 - I don't get a short dump
1745472, 1751321 - system displays all queried nodes, the problem is that if I input another variable, hierarchy version variable is calculated via user-exit properly (I see it in ABAP debugger), but displayed hierarchy has version, which was set when I opened query initially.
1717433 - nodes are returned with non-empty result. I can see that data is refreshed, hierarchy version is requested correctly, but is displayed incorrectly. We can see, for example, new hierarchy leaves, but in "n/a" node.
I tried to run the same report on system with version 7.01, patch level 12 and get the same behaviour.
My problem is similar to that described in notes 993151, 957219, but our system patch level is already higher.

NW 2004s Bex Analyzer Variable screen Vs 3.X Bex Analyzer

Hi,
In 3.X, if you select refresh for a workbook having multiple queries, then the function refreshes all queries and the system displays the variable screen for each query in the workbook.
In NW 2004s, if i have the same workbook and refreshing the workbook will display only one variable screen having all the variables all the queries are using.
This is good. Except for refreshing workbook which is already having different "material number" in different queries.
In this scenario how do we refresh the workbook and keep the material number different for the queries the workbook is using. The variable screen in NW 2004s will show only one variable "material number" and assigning a material number will change the workbook
(Implies both the queries will be using same material number after refresh-hence unable to keep the workbook same)
We are on SPS 8/FEP 801.
We applied the note 953402 (variables are displayed when you refresh all queries)
After applying the note we added ANALYZER-VARIABLE_REFRESH_3X=X in the RSADMIN table.
Still in NW 2004s, only one VARIABLE SCREEN is displayed will all the variables the query is using.
Please let me know if any information is available.
Thankyou,
-Sini

Hi,
We applied to OSS NOTE # 953402 inorder to prompt the varaible like 3.X. This note did not do anything. Please advice if any other note is available or not.
Having a common or (one) variable screen is difficult to maintain. I had lot of problem trying to keep a workbook same as in 3.X. Diificult to perform workbook conversion.
Example:
I am performing workbook conversion. This workbook which I am trying to convert has multi queries.
In one query it shows material number starting with say for eg: BA, CB and no restriction is given for cal year/month and this query has plan version as mandatory variable. (NOTE: no hierarchy)
Other query has hierarchy for material number and the hierarchy shows material starting with BA01* and cal/year restricted to 01/2006 and 02/2006.
When I convert the workbook from 3.X to 2004s
1.) hierarchy drilldown icon disappears when I open the workbook in NW 2004s Analyzer
2.) Inorder to get the drilldown icon back I clicked on "refresh" which doesn't not work consistenly.
So I always click on "variable" icon and entered the values for the mandatory variable (plan version) and assigned hierarchy (XYZ).
3.) After executing it, both of my query shows hierarchy.
4.) I turned off hierarchy in one of query, set filter value for material number to BA, CB.....( NOTE: Inorder to turn off the hierarchy I have to first deactivate it and then refresh it to make it work.
NOTE: later I was unable to turn it ON.
5.) The other query has hierarchy orginally(before conversion) it has 3 level drilldown and after converting it just has only one level drilldown. ( I was not able to get the original one back. I was able to filter it my material number say BA01* and cal year.
RESULT: Unable to make the workbook indentical to 3.X. Conversion was not that succesfull.
NOTE:
1. The hierarchy activation/deactivation does not work properly.
2. For eg: Select filter value for material number, the text/key shows the expected value. But If I search for those values I do not get the result. The search on material with hierarchy does not seems to work properly.
Please let me know if you need any further details and also let me know if there any OSS Note available.
Thankyou,

BEx Analyzer Query Selection Variable Screen Issue

We are in the process of applying support packs to our system--BI7.01 and we are going from SP04 to SP10. After the application of support packs, when we execute a query (or a workbook with attached query), the query variable screen that normally appears does not, the query just executes without being able to filter/enter selection criteria.
We are using BEx Analyzer 3.5--long story about not upgrading to BEx 7.x. In our systems without support packs, the queries/workbook execute as expected. I've tried making a variable mandatory in one of the queries as a test and the selection screen then appears; however, we have hundreds of queries.
I've searched SDN and OSS and have found some similar issues, but not a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Norris

Hello Michael,
Thanks for the informationit's funny as I think I was stumbling upon this notegoing support pack by support pack--when you posted it.
We applied to our development system and we are now getting the selection screens, so it does appear to resolve the situation. Thanks again for the information.
