Performance:Bex7.0 Variable Screen

We are in sapnetweaver2004s,patch level 11.We have performance issues with Bex 7.0.
We have installed the required softwares like .net framework,Excel 2003 etc.
Whenever we execute any report in Bex 7.0 variable selection screen taking lot of time to appear.But the same query in Bex3.5 is works faster than Bex 7.0.
Report execution is fast but only the selection screen appearance taking lot of time.
Please help us with your inputs to solve the above issue.
Thanks in advance..

Soujanya

Hi,
As I mentioned before we also have same problem, I don't know if there is any precautions, but with a small probability we will apply these corrections. If we encounter any problems I will write to you.
Thanks for points.

Variable screen performance in report

In my project we are having somany master data objects,
we have to find the performance of selection screen ,earlier we have only display as selection screen as key now according to our client requirment we are providing both key and text in sleection screen with long text , how can i find these master data objects performance in variable screen.
The SAP std out of the box setting for an Infoobject is usually the key.( Sometimes text )
We are now making changes to almost all info objects to display as key and text, and depending on what business is asking we are changing to Long text, medium or short.
Investigation required
1)       how does it affect the performance when we do F4 help
2)       how does it help in search by text
3)       what difference does it make when searching by key vs text.
My feel is if we show the key and text , definitely the key comes from Dimension table and the text will be fetched from the text table of the master data attribute
And hence for business partner etc it might really affect the time taken to fetch the variable values.
please help how to find the performance of variables.

Yeah, It won't have much impact on the performance of the selection screen.......
Even we are displaying both key and text for many reports but never faced a performance issue.......

Variable screen performance in BEx - post upgrade to BI7

Hello,
We have recently upgraded to BI7 - SP16. We are using the 710 gui, patch level 3. Bex version is 3.5, patch level 6.
Since we have upgraded, we have been experiencing a major performance hit when opening the variable screen of a query, as well as navigating within the variable screen. We are using the Excel version of BEx.
When we were on 3.5, opening the variable screens only took about 5 seconds, now it takes 30. To use F4 for the dropdown lists, in 3.5 it took about 3 seconds, now it takes 15. To enter multiple selections, it took 1 second, in BI7 it takes 15.
Our users, needless to say are getting very frustrated with the performance. The query execution time is comparable to when we were on 3.5.
I have this open as a high priority issue with sap, but they have yet to come up with a fix.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?
Thanks
Charla

I think note 1044219 is important for you:
1. The BEx Web Analyzer executes queries before the system displays the variable dialog. This cannot be avoided.
2. You cannot prevent the BEx Web Analyzer from saving variables in the workbook and using them again when you reopen it.
Additional it includes other notes and hints regarding performance in variable screen and F4 help.

Performance Issue with Selection Screen Values

Hi,
I am facing a performance issue(seems like a performance issue ) in my project.
I have a query with some RKFs and sales area in filters (single value variable which is optional).
Query is by default restricted by current month.
The Cube on which the query operates has around 400,000 records for a month.
The Cube gets loaded every three hours
When I run the query with no filters I get the output within 10~15 secs.
The issue I am facing is that, when I enter a sales area in my selection screen the query gets stuck in the data selection step. In fact we are facing the same problem if we use one or two other characteristics in our selection screen
We have aggregates/indexes etc on our cube.
Has any one faced a similar situation?
Does any one have any comments on this ?
Your help will be appreciated. Thanks

Hi A R,
Goto RSRT--> Give ur query anme --> Execute =Debug
--> No a pop up ill come with many check boxes select "Display Aggregates found" option --> now give ur
selections in variable screen > first it will give the already existing aggregate names> continue> now after displaying all the aggregates it will display the list of objects realted to cube wise> try to copy these objects into notepad> again go with ur drill downs now u'll get the already existing aggregates for this drill down-> it will display the list of objects> copy them to notepad> now sort all the objects related to one cube by deleting duplicate objects in the note pad>goto that Infocube> context>maintain aggregates> create aggregate on the objects u copied into note pad.
now try to execyte the report... it should work properly with out delays for those selections.
I hope it helps you...

Ramki.

Long time required to load variable screen

Hi Experts,
I going to start with the question and after I will explain the details. Is there any way in which I can preload in Cache "program" generated by the query?
When I run my queries is taking a long time just to load the variable screen. I think I know the reason what I need is your help to find a solution.
This happens in the big queries. These queries are defined on a Multiprovider, they have lots of selected/calculated key figures and for now I did all I could to optimize them. I used RSRT1 to check the technical information of the queries and in the generation limits I could see the load size is about 1 MB.
Again, the problem is even before I select the data. Is the re anyway to avoid this long load time?
I really appreciate your help I am about going live and this could be a big issue.
Thanks very much for your help,
Raimundo Alvarez

Hi,
Do you have variable replaced by another query? If that is case, you will get performance issue, when the prequery is runnig when call var screen.
Do you have variable replaced by authorization? If that is case, for the user will complicated authroization, it will take some time to fill it.
In general, when the variable screen is calling, have you check in sm66, what is the work process doing? In RSRT->run this query with statistics, which part takes most time?

Performance of set variable command in WAD

Hi all
The set variable command in WAD is performing really badly. Can somebody please help me to identify how to decrease the response time.
thanks in advance

Hi Vikram,
your link to SAP Help is wrong. It refers to BW 3.5 (NW04), but your URL looks like BW 7.0 (NBW04s). So you need another SAP Help link. Try this one:
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/ef05462480025ae10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/ef05462480025ae10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm</a>
Regarding to example 3 your link should look like this:
<a href="http://sthbmdm8dv.client.com.50000http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex?TEMPLATE=ZPlan_W00500&BI_COMMAND_1-BI_COMMAND_TYPE=SET_VARIABLES_STATE&BI_COMMAND_1-VARIABLE_VALUES-VARIABLE_VALUE_1-VARIABLE=zplan_appid&BI_COMMAND_1-VARIABLE_VALUES-VARIABLE_VALUE_1-VARIABLE_TYPE=VARIABLE_INPUT_STRING&BI_COMMAND_1-VARIABLE_VALUES-VARIABLE_VALUE_1-VARIABLE_TYPE-VARIABLE_INPUT_STRING=10002002">http://sthbmdm8dv.client.com.50000http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex?TEMPLATE=ZPlan_W00500&BI_COMMAND_1-BI_COMMAND_TYPE=SET_VARIABLES_STATE&BI_COMMAND_1-VARIABLE_VALUES-VARIABLE_VALUE_1-VARIABLE=zplan_appid&BI_COMMAND_1-VARIABLE_VALUES-VARIABLE_VALUE_1-VARIABLE_TYPE=VARIABLE_INPUT_STRING&BI_COMMAND_1-VARIABLE_VALUES-VARIABLE_VALUE_1-VARIABLE_TYPE-VARIABLE_INPUT_STRING=10002002</a>
If the variable screen starts up, you should suppress it in template properties.

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,
-Sini

Message on a Variable Screen

Hi Experts,
I need to display an Information Message on a (WAD)Variable Screen. Is it possible? If yes, How?
Thanks

Hi,
Have a look on this thread Edit variable selection screen
You can make use of the class CL_RSR_WWW_Variable_screen for your requirement,

Can we load data in variable screen from flat file?

Hello all,
One of my user once asked me she needs to run a report for some employees, i said you can just type that in employee varaible input box.
She said I need to run the report and I need it for 120 employees, she has the employee numbers in excel sheet.
What is the best way of doing this if any ?
Thanks

This can be done from a flat file, which has list of all values.
If you are using Bex 3.5, then we have an icon in variable screen bottom right to upload values, where we can specify the path of the file.

Compounded characteristic are not displayed in the variable screen (BI 700)

Hi Experts,
How to display compounded characteristic in the variable screen of queriies?
Example :
IO 0PROFIT_CTR is compounded to 0CO_AREA. Tryimg to select 0PROFIT_CTR via a variable,
only values of 0PROFIT_CTR are displayed in F4 opo up, not those of 0CO_AREA.
0CO_AREA is not restricted in any way in query definiton.
This happens in BEx Analyser as well as in web apllication.
Did anybody face this issue? How to solve it?
Thanks in advance for helpful replies.
Regards
Joe

Hi,
Thanks for replies. Possibly I did't explain my problem i a correct way.
'I 've a variable for 0PROFIT_CTR. When I call F4 , values for 0PROFIT_CTR are displayed
e.g. as
7062 PC 7062
7062 PC /062
My problem is, that these PCs belong to different Co_areas. so i expected
3200 7062 PC 7062
4300 7062 PC 7062
3200 an 4300 are representing compounded Co_areas in this example. In 3.5 this worked perfectly,
if Co_areas was not restricted itself with a variable or a defined value.
Now I'm looking for the option to achieve this as well in 700.
Regards
Joe

Pop up message on the variable screen in portal when report is run

Hello
I have a requirement to pop up a message stating " Date should not be entered before 2010 "on the variable screen of the report if date is entered before 2010 by the user when the report is run.
Please can someone tell me how to implement this?
thanks

Hi Tom,
The logic could be to include code in CMOD forat variable with ISTEP=2.
IF I_STEP = 2.
LOOP AT i_t_var_range into wa_t_var_range where vnam = 'Date Varaible'
<write condition to check the year entered. First, using function module DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT, extract year from Date>
< CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT'
 EXPORTING
 I_DATE = ZT_SDT
 I_MONMIT = 00
 I_PERIV = 'Variant'
 IMPORTING
 E_BUPER = zbuper
 E_GJAHR = zbdatj this is the year entered
 EXCEPTIONS
 INPUT_FALSE = 1
 T009_NOTFOUND = 2
 T009B_NOTFOUND = 3
 OTHERS = 4>
>
Then check the year for the condition.
If correct.
exit.
else.
CALL FUNCTION 'RRMS_MESSAGE_HANDLING'
EXPORTING
I_CLASS = 'RSBBS'
I_TYPE = 'E'
I_NUMBER = '000'
I_MSGV1 = 'Date should not be entered before 2010'.
raise again.
endif.
endif.
endloop.
Hope this helps you.!

F4 input help on Variable screen is not working on Portal

Dear Experts,
We are facing one issue when we run the WAD report on portal, variable screen gets hang after clicking on input help button (F4) for couple of variables. We are facing same issues when we run the base queries on portal. But when we run the same base queries in RSRT (Tcode) or in BEx Analyzer we are not facing this issue and able to get the input help screen with values.
I also have gone through some old posts related to such issues but didn't help much. We are already on SAP BW 7.4 SP Level 008 and for Char IO Query Filter Value setting is kept as "Values in Master Data Table" only. This is a MD IO with Compounding.
Kindly let me know if anyone has faced such issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Nilesh

Dear Martin,
There is a no long running work process in the backend and data volume is more in Master Data Table, there are around 19 Lacks records available.
For BI Java patch and defaultTrace for errors I will check it with BASIS Admin team. Unfortunately I don’t have rights to do same.
Thanks,
Nilesh

Variable screen/variant screen authorization issue

HI All,
We have implemented standard Cost Center Overview Report(0SR_C02_Q0002) in BI 7.
We have three selection fields:
1.Company Code which is mandatory
2.My controlling Area which is also mandatory
3.Costcenter which is not mandatory
The requirement we are facing over here is that in the Variable screen/variant screen when I enter a company code, then I need to display dynamically only those "My Controlling Area" values which are assigned to that particular company code and not all. In the same way after selecting the appropriate "My controlling area" value, I need to display only those cost centers in the cost center selection field which are assigned to the selected company code and My controlling area combination and not all.
can anyone guide me on how to go about on this authorization issue at the variable screen itself.
Please treat this issue/requirement on high priority.
Appreciated in advance.
Regards,
raps.

Hi,
I think that an alternative to solve your concern could be using Web Application Designer (WAD). In this respect, there are several design options, with different levels of complexity.
As the simplest alternative, you could create a WAD including your query and three Dropdown Boxes: one for Company, a second for Controlling area and another for Cost center. The four mentioned elements should be linked to the same dataprovider so, when you select a company, the options in the other two Dropdown boxes and the information in the query are updated.
In order to enforce mandatory filter selection at Company and Controlling area level, you should set NO_REMOVE_FILTER='X' in both two Dropdown boxes, so that "All values" option -which would mean no filtering- is not offered.
I hope this helps you.
Regards,
Maximiliano

Bookmark Issue in WAD (Report Output without Variable Screen)

Hi ,
This issue is with the Saving of Report Output to Bookmark.
Expected Output:
Clicking on the Bookmark should bring out the Report Output with the Period and Year, which was used while saving the Bookmark. It should not pop up variable screen at the beginning.
Issue:
Currently, when I click the bookmark, Its triggers the default template and it brings out the Variable Screen with the default Selections, which i dont want to. I need to get the same output with the values which I saved under Bookmark.
Please suggest me a solution...
Thanks / Selvan

Hi, i dont rememberm but, can you check mark you DP_1 and properties->Behavior->Display variables screen->on

Hi,
Use the following Code, don't write in between Case and EndCase, after ENDCASE you write code for I_STEP = 3.
