OLAP Variable in InfoPackage / DTP

Hi Experts,
I created an ETL process in our Dev instance, and in my InfoPackage and DTP was able to use an OLAP variable when filtering on 0FISCPER (eg 0I_CUFYE or 0FYTCFP).
When I tried it in Prod, the loads failed because it couldn't find these variables.  I am looking to find these types of objects so I can either transport them (ideally)  or activate them directly in Prd (if I have too!), but cannot find out where they exist.  Help!
Thanks,
Darryl

Found it finally!
Transport connection - Query elements - variable (ELEM.VAR)
Cheers,
Darryl

  • Creating OLAP variables for infopackages

    Hello Gurus,
    I am interested in creating an "z" OLAP variable and then use in the DATA SELECTION in the infopackage,
    Where can I create the same?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can't find 0FYTLFP OLAP Variable in InfoPackage Data Selection tab on 3.5

    On BW 3.5, when generating an InfoPackage with the datasource as Purchasing Data(80PUR_C01), under Data Selection tab, for the InfoObject 0FISCPER, I selected 7 (OLAP variables)for the Type column, then click the button next to it and under the column of Details for Type to bring up a window, but when expending the OLAP Variable field list, can't find the following value in the list which shows up on BW 3.1:
    0FYTLFP     0FISCPER Cumulated to Last Fiscal Year/Period (SAP Exit)
    How to make the above value show up in the OLAP Variable list?   I thought maybe the variable 0FYTLFP needs to be installed in Business Contents, but there is no variable object type in Business Content.  It sounds like a SAP Exit, but how to make the SAP Exit value show up on BW 3.5?
    Thanks for everyone's input!

    hey Rohit,
    Besides the three variable values in the list on BW 3.5, now I find a new one in the list, called "0E_ROLE     0SR_ROLE     Role (SAP Exit)", I have no idea why this one shows up now.  Now all the four variables in the list are:
    1. 0CML12LM     0CALMONTH     Last 12 Months Excluding the Current Month
    2. 0CMONTH     0CALMONTH     Current Calendar Month
    3. 0E_ROLE     0SR_ROLE     Role (SAP Exit)
    4. 0S_RQMRC     0REQUID     Most Current Data
    0FYTLFP is still not in the list!   We can't try to create BEx query since our BW 3.5 system is just installed and we have not got to the step to ceate a query.  I try the 2nd way you suggested by pressing F6 on this variable with the typed in value 0FYTLFP, get the following msg "BEx variable 0FYTLFP could not be evaluated - No error message", that means it would not work on BEx query as well, right? 
    What could be the reason that we can't see 0FYTLFP variable in our new installed BW 3.5?  Do you think our BASIS missed installing sth?
    Thanks

  • Step by step OLAP variable for Infopackage

    Hi Experts
    I have been thru all the threads but am still not clear how to accomplish this.  I am not an ABAPer so am trying to do this in Bex.
    I am in BI 7.0.  I want to create an OLAP variable for 0CO_OM_CCA_9 infopackage to select all cost centers for one 0comp_code.
    I've tried creating a query as well as variable but I can't seem to get it to work.
    I think the problem is all of the various possibilities of Settings in the variable creation i.e. Processed by, repalcement path, etc
    Thanks very much for your help !

    Thank you very much Sven !  This is exactly what I needed.
    I have a couple of additional questions.
    Do I use the variable in this query somewhere or just create it on the Cube?
    For Replacement Rule do I choose query and use the query I've just created or choose variable ?
    I have done this with query in replacement Rule and I can't see my variable in the list for selections in my Infopackage. 
    Thanks for your help

  • Options 0 to 7(olap variable) in infopackage Scheduler screen

    Hi Pioneers,
    I've seen 0 to 7 options in the selection Tabpage of Infopackage scheduler screen(option TYPE beside a date selection).
    0(Yesterday),1(last week),2(last month)....6(Abap code),7(Olap variable).Could any one please let me know what do these options does?If  I am not wrong are these to pick data accordingly(weeek,month..).Please give me a clear picture
    Thanks in Advance
    James

    hi James
    this field is to used to populate date range field dynamically
    suppose u r loading any particular infopackage weekly for previous weeks data (monthly or daily) then u can use option 1 (2 or 0).
    but if u want u r own logic to populate this range in data selection tab for loading then u have to write routine in ABAP in option 6.

  • Problem in OLAP Variable for InfoPackage

    Hi All ,
    My requiremnt is to get all the Blank values for VERSION field from the R/3 to BW .
    So I created a OLAP variable and given that variable in the InfoPackage.
    code i written is
      IF p_vnam = 'ZS_BLKVR'.
        CLEAR: l_s_range.
        l_s_range-sign  = 'I'.
        l_s_range-opt  = 'EQ'.
        l_s_range-low   = '' .
        l_s_range-high  = '' .
        APPEND l_s_range TO p_t_range.
        CLEAR: l_s_range.
      ENDIF.
    Now when iam loading data in BW , it is giving zero records , but there are records in r/3 with blank values for VERSION field.
    in the selection critria it is displaying as '#' for Version in the monitor.
    So is there any other way to get the Blank values VERSION records from R/3
    Thank You.....

    Hi Ravi,
    You can write an ABAP routine to populate the VERSION field. Choose type '6' from the drop-dwon and try the following code,
    loop at l_t_range into l_s_range where fieldname = 'VERSION'.
      l_s_range-low = ' '.
      modify l_t_range from l_s_range.
    endloop.
    If it doesn't work then try to use the other way round. Find out what are the non-zero values possibel for version and exclude all the values from the selection.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks,
    Soumya

  • Loop OLAP Variable in InfoPackage from Table entries

    Hi SDN Community
    Is it possible to have a Routine in an INfopackage that reads a table with a number of entries in that table.
    The infopackage then executes with the selection that is retrieved, then reexecutes with the next entry in that table.
    Otherwise, i imagine if we place this infopackage into a Process Chain.
    We are trying to do the following
    Loop n times
        Execute InfoPackage restricted by Parameter a
    Next n
    where n = number of entries in table
    where a = attribute field within table
    a = Saraji for n = 1, a = Blackwater for n= 2, etc...
    Thank you.
    Simon

    Thank you for your respose Yogesh
    I thought of a way that might work, tell me what you think
    A process chain is set up.  The first step is to write an X to the first entry in the table.
    The infopackage has ABAP Code to read the table, and restrict on site where field = X
    The infopackage executes.
    Then in the process chain, the second entry has an X placed against it, and the first entry deleted
    And so on...
    Assumptions:
    - Is it possible to write to table fields in an infoObject from the Process chain
    - Do the parameters that are executed in the infopackage via this method, allow 'Overlapping requests' functionality to work
    - Can we dynamically create InfoPackages via BADI ABAP code as an alternative in the above methodology
    Thank you for your assistance

  • OLAP Variable in DTP - Not able to save the selection

    Hi Guru's
    We are on BI 7.0 and supportpack 13. I am facing an issue with the OLAP variable in DTP filter . I am not able to save the selection/filter  within DTP via OLAP variable. I am able to test the values of the OLAP variable within DTP screen (just like in infopackage) , but when i save it, it does not appear in the selection.
    Have any of u faced this issue? I searched for SAP notes , but could not find any matching this issue. Could u please help?
    Thanks & regards

    Hi Voodi,
    Thanks for ur response. But i have checked that too. I am not saying that the value need to appear in selections screen. The filter in DTP is not showing a check tick mark and also no variable is found even though i had saved it and activated the DTP.
    I also checked running thisDTP and checked the selections in the header of the monitor. No selection is shown there.
    Thanks

  • SAP BI - OLAP variable in DTP unable to read from input ready variable in query

    Hello,
    Here's the problem:
    We have a process chain which is launched in a WAD.
    We would like to filter the DTPs in the PC with the values entered in the variable screen of the WAD
    I created a variable of type customer exit X which reads the input ready variable Y in CMOD.
    Customer exit variable X was placed in the filter of the DTP.
    The input ready variable Y in the query contained in the WAD.
    I am getting an error that customer exit variable X is getting not value.
    Is it possible to read an input ready variable in a customer exit variable placed in a DTP?
    Or am I missing a step here?
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Anjalee,
    Maybe it would be good to share a bit more information on your scenario and the chosen solution design. I am currently missing the point of triggering a Process Chain using Web Application Designer.
    Anyway, I recommend to be careful with using OLAP variables in DTP filters. For sure not all functionality is present, e.g. because the variable pop-up is absent. Your constellation of an input ready variable and a customer-exit variable will only work in the context of a BEx Query and probably not if used in a DTP filter.
    Best regards,

  • Infopackage Selections Tab-OLAP Variable/ABAP Routine

    Hi Experts
    In my Infopackage Selections Tab i had Cal Mon/Year field....
    As per my requirment i have to write a selection condion that when we execute info package (it is a monthly data load)  it will extract data only for the months greater than or equal to current month
    Please update me on how can i achieve this either by using OLAP Variable or ABAP Routine in infopackage...will be great if can provide the required ABAP Code
    Thanks in Advance

    here's an example that fills the fiscal year from last month (bold is customer code... the rest is standard):
      data: l_idx like sy-tabix.
      read table l_t_range with key
           fieldname = 'PARAM_P_GJAHR'.
      l_idx = sy-tabix.
      data:
      v_caldy type /BI0/OICALDAY,
      v_calmn type /BI0/OICALMONTH,
      v_calyr type /BI0/OICALYEAR.
      v_caldy = sy-datum.
    determine first day*
      v_caldy+6(2) = '01'.
    determine last month*
      subtract 1 from v_caldy.
      v_calyr = v_caldy(4).
      l_t_range-sign   = 'I'.
      l_t_range-option = 'EQ'.
      l_t_range-low    = v_calyr.

  • OLAP Variable with user exit for Infopackage Selection 0fiscper

    Hi Frds/ Guru's ,
                    I have a requirement to use a OLAP Variable for Fiscal year period 0fiscper(Characteristic ) in the Infopackage Selection. . I need to extract the data for Previous Year and Current Year , that is to be automatically selected with a OLAP Variable . The standard one's provided by SAP are not satisfying my requirement,as they are getting populated with SAP Exit and I am not getting the ranges .I am planning to create a variable and use the processing type as Customer Exit and Populate it with ABAP code in respective Enhancement RSR00001.
    Even Can I create a ABAP Routine ? Please suggest me which is better to do in respect to performance of dataload  , will be really glad if anyone can provide some code for doing this as u might have faced the situation sometime .
    I have checked with all the threads available , could get some idea but will be really thankful if u gimme some hints in writing the code , at Exit level and routine level .

  • InfoPackage selection offset with OLAP variable

    Hi Bw Gurus,
    I have a requirement to load ODS with full upload everytime but in order to reduce repeated loads I am trying to use a DATE field which is not part of communication str. as a selection critera in InfoPacakge.
    I changed DS to include this field avaialable for selection and It's working fine when I input date to and from values hard coded in InfoPackage.
    Further I am trying to automate this InfoPackage scheduled weekly and I need to include date offset value for this DATE field to load for additional last 2 weeks every time to capture changes for already loaded data.
    I have created OLAP customer exit variable having Date interval for Date starting from last 3 weeks to Current DAte and included in InfoPackage selection for DATE field but it's not working. By the way if someone can explain what's meaning for two columns there for TYPE(Variable change to selection.....) and detail for type.
    Any clue for reason or any other way to accomplish this requirement?
    Thanks in advance,
