Optional BEx query variables not working in WebI

Hi,
I have an Webi report based on Bex Query using BICS connection.
One characteristic is restricted with two variables. First an authorization variable and additional with an input ready variable.
This input ready variable is optional. When it comes up in webi and you choose a value it doesn't filter on it.
We are on BO 4.1. SP3 and BW 7.31.
With SAP_ALL the optional prompt is working, but for a user with limited access, the optional variable doesn't work.
I have already made a RSRT trace with a test user. But I'm not sure what's the problem.
Trace returned:
S_RS_AUTH RC=4 --> BIAUTH=0BI_ALL; type=RF;name=BICS_PROV_OPEN;
But I don't want to give the user 0BI_ALL, otherwise my analysis authorizations for this info object would be obsolete.
Any ideas?
Thx and Regards,
Katharina

Hi Neetika,
thank you for your advice!
I tried the filter without authorziation variable and it was working.
I in addition I tried another option: I defined auth variable as input ready and deleted filter variable and that would work working.
With this setting I recognized that for the authorization variable all allowed values are set as default values! If you execute query with SAP_ALL no default is set, but with limited access the allowed values are set as default.
This may be the problem here. I don't know if this behaviour is by design or if there is a problem with rights?
But now I know where the problem comes from.
Regards,
Katharina

<p>Our current month /current year (CMCY)substitution variables donot work in Web Analysis. The variables are set up properlyon the Essbase server and work fine with the excel add-in. The prior month / current year (PMCY)sub variable does workin Web Analysis. Does anyone know why web analysis is hit ormiss with sub variables?</p>

BEx Fiscal Period variables not working in Webi

Hello,
We have an BEx user entry variable for Fiscal period, that works correctly in BEx. In the prompt LOV, I get values from year 2003 to 2013.
When I run it in Webi, the LOV starts from year 0000 to 2040. Also there are 16 periods in a year, wheras the LOV displays 24 period, even after restricting on fiscal variant.
Has anyone successfully been able to make Webi work with BEx fiscal period variants?
Thanks,
Nikhil

I created a universe objects with following in the
"Select"
[0P_FPER].[NAME]
"Where" condition
<FILTER KEY = "@Select(Fiscal year Period\LovPeriod_Fiscal Year)">
<CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION = "Greater">
<CONSTANT CAPTION = "AB1000001"/>
</CONDITION></FILTER>
When I create a report with this object, I get no data.
I change the above to
"Select"
[0P_FPER].[NAME]
"Where" condition
<FILTER KEY = "@Select(Fiscal year Period\LovPeriod_Fiscal Year)">
<CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION = "Less">
<CONSTANT CAPTION = "AB1000001"/>
</CONDITION></FILTER>
I tried changing the CONSTANT CAPTION values, everytime "Less" works but "Greater" does not. Does "Greater" not work?

Search query variable not working

Apologies for this essay but I felt it may be best if I include all the details in order to describe the issue I'm experiencing.
I have two site collections in one web app called Library and Store respectively. The library site collection has a content type called Book which is made available to the Store site collection through the content type syndication. The Book content type
has a site column in it called Book Author which is of managed metadata type (the term set has a few terms representing authors). The parent content type of the Book is the out of the box Article Page and the Store site collection has custom page layout associated
with the Book content type.
I then add a page and switch its page layout to my custom layout based on the Book content type and on the page, I put a content search web part. I have a managed property called BookAuthor which is mapped to the crawled property pointing at the Book Author
field and this is where things start to go awry. The query I use in the content search web part looks something like this:
ContentType:Book BookAuthor:{Page.Book Author}
According to the documentation of the query variables and FQL (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj683123(v=office.15).aspx), this should return items that are of the Book content type where the BookAuthor is the value of the Book Author field on
the current page that the content search web part resides on. In this case, my query returns no results. In order to test if it actually works, I manually typed in the value of the author for the BookAuthor property so it looked something like this:
ContentType:Book BookAuthor:John Doe
The second query returned the results I expected, but the first one didn't. I've come across a similar problem to this and previously, I found out that SharePoint had duplicated the Book Author field in the content type such that one was named "Book
Author" and the type showing was TaxonomyFIeldTypeMulti while the other one was named "Book Author_0" and the type showing was Note. I used the following powershell script to determine the names of the fields in the content type:
$site = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite("http://www.yousite.com/")
$web = $site.OpenWeb()
$list = $web.Lists["YourList"]
$list.Fields | Format-Table Title, InternalName, TypeAsString
Previously when I encountered this problem, I simply tried both fields and one would always work. For example, I would try BookAuthor:{Book Author} and BookAuthor{Book Author_0} and one of them would work. In this case, I've tried both and none of them seem
to yield any results in my query. I noticed that I always seem to get duplicated fields only when I'm using columns of managed metadata type. I know my managed properties work because I can specify manual values and that yields the results I expect, but as
soon as I try to use the query variable from the page fields, it doesn't work. Strangely enough, I can use the Title or any other non-managed metadata fields of the page in my query variable (e.g. {Page.Title}) and I can get results that way. I've done index
resets and full crawls but nothing seems to fix this. Any help or insight on this would be greatly appreciated as it is driving me nuts!

Hi,
Please refer to the following post:
Infoobject F4 help in the Query takes lot of time and hangs
F4 Process takes a long time to show the values
There are several SAP notes on performance improvement for F4 help as mentioned in the first post. You may refer to the SAP notes as well.
Hope it helps,

Search option for a variable not working in BEX

Hi Experts,
I have a variable on selection screen "Sold to". I am not able to do a search on this for "texts". For keys i am able to do. Is there any reason? Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Vijaya

Hi Vijaya,
Check in BEx tab of sold to..which text(short, medium, long) are you using in BEx.
Check if the selected format of text is loaded in Sold to text master data table...
Check if you have created characteristic value variable...
Hope it helps,
Best regards,

Bex Query variants not working

Hello Experts,
I have a unique problem with one of my queries, the query variants which are created before Nov 1 are not fetching any vaules instead it gives a message MAKE ENTRY IN ALL THE FIELDS......
the variants which are created in Nov are working fine.....we have not done any upgrade....
does anyone faced this kind of problem? what needs to done to get back the variant values in the selection screen.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Regards

Was there a change to an InfoObject that is in the InfoProvider that is also one of the query input options?
e.g. IO ZHARA used to be defeined as a Char with a length of 4, but was changed after Nov 1 to Char, length of 8.
If you change an IO like this that is in the variant, that will render the variant unusable.
There is a program that checks for variants that have been broken like this, and another that you enter the query's technical name and it repairs the variant.
Try a search on SDN for something like "query variant program". I'll post the program names after I get back in the office tomorrow.

WebI Prompts using BEx Query Variables

Hello,
I have the following issues with WebI report selection input paramaters (prompts) that use BW BEx Query variables. Could anyone please assist?
Issue 1:
The WebI report has one mandatory and two optional input paramaters (all paramaters from BW BEx Query). When I execute the report via WebI rich client directly, enter the value for mandatory input parameter and leave blanks for both optional input parameters, the report ran OK and has no issue. However, when I ran it through CMC a strange thing happen: I could not select the value for mandatory input paramater as it requires to have values for both optional input paramaters first (which I wish to have them blank and optional). When I refersh values for the mandatory paramater, it says "List of Values for current prompt requires values for following prompts:...(ie. the two optional parameters).
Anyone has any idea - it seems like it is a CMC issue for the WebI...
Issue 2:
Take the same WebI report above, the issue here is the order sequence of the prompts (ie. the selection input parameters). How can we change/control the sequence of the prompts? Whatever sequence of the varaiables (input paramters) in BW BEx Query, the WebI ignores it. Please advise.
Thanks & Regards,
Andy

I did not see separate thread for issue #1, therefore I'll us this thread.
I am running into similar issue when I get an error message ''List of Values for current prompt requires values for following prompts: <Name of the prompt>".
We are using BO V4, SP2, Patch 10 with SAP BW as DB via BEx queries.
I opened support ticket for this issue since obviousely it's still an issue after applying patch 10.
It's not an issue when 'Rich Internet Application' option is selected to view report in 'Reading' mode (via Launchpad Preferences then Web Inteligence; defautl value for viewing is 'Web').
I have not tried to use Client tools but even if it works with Client tools - it is not a solution for us. Our company does not plan to install client tools on end user computers.
Bigger issue us is that report scheduling invokes Web version (not Rich Internet Application). Therefore we cannot schedule report that is giving us problem described. I tried scheduling report from Launchpad and from CMC and both game me error highlighted.

Dynamic filtering with BEx query variables in WebI 3.1

Hi experts.
Can anybody help me ?
1) I use BEx query variables in WebI 3.1 . But i can't understand how to order fields of selection screen in WebI reports
2) How can i use Dynamic filtering with BEx query variables in WebI 3.1 ?
It's need that list of second field on selection screen will be accoding to result of selection first field on selection screen and so on .
Need i use BEx user-exit variables ?
Thank you

Hi,
1) Variable sequence isn't respected in XI3.1 - and can't be modified in OLAP.unv (this enhancement exists in 4.0 )
2) Dynamic filtering? Yes, Exit routines are the best way to go for this.

LOVs not working in Webi Report for SAP BO 4.1 SP 2 Patch 3

Hello ,
I have developed reports and universes in SAP BO 4.0 SP 5 and i have migrated those reports to higher version of BO which is 4.1 SP2 Patch 3.
My universe is working fine with LOVs but when i run the webi report , the LOVs arent working.
have anyone facing the same issue. any idea why the LOVs arent working on higher version.?

Hi Victor,
The List of values we will assign in universe in order to get filtered data works on universe query panel
but the same objects when i am using in report(webi report) , the List of values are not working .i.e
they are not getting displayed in webi report.
for ex: i have country object having country names as LOVs and state objects having state names as LOVs . Now when i select Country value , the LOVs of state objects should get filtered and shows only states which belongs to country .
the above logic is not working in webi report , i am only able to select country and when i go for state, the state names do not get filtered.
please let me know why this is happening in the SP2 patch 3 version and its working fine for SP2 , but the chrome issue gets solved after applying patch 3 and not if we only upgrade to SP2.
the webi reports are not working in chrome browser if we using SAP B04.1 SP2 and lower version
but the LOVs are not working in SAP BO 4.1 SP 2 patch 1, 2,3.
kindly help me with the issue

Chris,
There are several areas in your code which needed changes.
1. On the field name for your temp table you had spaces.
2. The SAP table name ODLN, OPCH, PCH1 had to be fully referenced like
[dbo].[ODLN]
3. You really need not have ## in front of your temp table, it could just be #
The select at the end is actually what causes the most problem as for some reason from within SAP it does not produce the result. I would suggest you put the whole code into a Stored Procedure and call the SP from SAP. Corrected SQL below. If you remove the Select line at the end the query would work with in SAP, but keep it give give you an error. SP is the best option for this.
DECLARE @date DATE
DECLARE @delrows INT
DECLARE @delquan INT
DECLARE @a INT
DECLARE @recrows INT
DECLARE @recquan INT
SET @a=0
IF object_id('tempdb..#tab') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
   DROP TABLE #tab
END
CREATE TABLE #tab
[Date] date,
DeliveryRows varchar(40),
DeliveryTotalUnits varchar(40),
ReceiptsRows varchar(40),
ReceiptsTotalUnits varchar(40),
WHILE @a!=7
BEGIN
SET @date=DATEADD(day,-@a, getdate())
SELECT @delrows=ISNULL(COUNT(DLN1.LineNum),0), @delquan=ISNULL(SUM(DLN1.Quantity),0)
