I have found a how to (How tou2026Use a dropdown box to set variable values 3.x) but I need that the dropdown appears from the beguiner of execution for introduce the values of filters.
Thanks.
Isabel Bautista.

Hello Isabel ,
Modify your web template with the dropdown box you want.
You can drag the drop down web element into the web report. Assign a appropriate infoprovider for this drop down and select the characteristics you want for drop down.
If you want to filter the results with the selection of dropdown value, then choose appropriate command for this dropdown to filter the result.

How to link the variable entry with the planning function execution

Hi All,
I am new to IP , we have a requirement where the user enters the value 2008 for a variable year. Then we are supposed to copy the same combinations for the next four years against which the user will be able to input the key figure values. But i have only 2008 data in the cube, so i need to generate new records for the same characteristic combinations as present for 2008 for the next four years. I am planning to use a copy function for this but how can i trigger this planning function once the user enters the value for the year variable. I want the planning function to get executed once the user clicks OK after the variable entry. Request your valuable inputs on the same.

Hi Tilak,
for this u have an option of executing the planning sequence when the web template loads ie. after the variable screen.
open the WAD.
go to the properties of Web Template web item. Under the section standard action of the webtemplate, we have a n option to include planning functions under action before rendering.
If u include your planning sequence in this this will get executed every time the layout loads.
guess this is usefull to u.

Issue with Variable Entry in BI 7.0

Hi,
I am having an issue with the variable entry in BI 7.0 Version. Here is a brief background.
--- In BW 3.x, when we define a variable with <b>Single Value Option</b>, you can enter the value manually in the pop-up selection screen or select from the dropdown of possible values.
---But in 7.0 when i try to enter the value manually in the selection screen its opening the dropdown list, and is not giving me the option to enter a value manually. I am entering a valid single value in selection.
Is this a bug or do i have to make any specific settings to correct my issue?

When the selection screen pops up choose the KEY only function on the TOOLS on the top right corner of the screen. Then you will be able to enter the values manually.
Hope this helps.

Problem with Variable Entry Screen

Hello All,
We upgraded our development systems to NW2004s and came across the following issue:
All our Bex queries have restricted time characteristics with variables entries. When we execute a query it should pop-up the variable selection screen for us to enter the restriction values but the query is ignoring Variable restriction screen and taking into consideration everything. The same query works fine in Prod., which is still in 3.1.
Did anyone come across this situation kind of situation? It did not pop-up any type of error and we are in SPS10

Recurring entries with variable amounts

Hi ,
How can we handle recurring entries with different amounts regularly. As an e.g. of this scenario "Telephone bills/electricity bills are paid every month and we need to automate the same but their amounts would be different ".
I believe recurring entries could do only for same amounts, so I doubt if this can be used. Account determination template - my guess is how flexible it could be? Do we have any other approach to handle this?
Thanks

If you have variable amounts every month, it is easier to use sample document, not recurring entries.

History of user Input values in variable entry screen

Hi Experts,
I have a small issue. I have a variable entry screen where I select values from the list. I can always see the history of variable values I input earlier when I click on the dropdown box. For example the country code displays all my previous inputs.
Similar to the web browsers history.
Not the same case with Fiscal Year/Period. I do the same type of selection from the combo box for example 12.2006. I give different values again like 1.2007, 2.2007 etc and run the report several times. But it doesn't show up the history of my previous entries unlike the country code.
Kindly help, points assured.
Thanks,
Raj.

What we've done isn't pretty, and I'm hoping for a better solution.
We've developed 3 ODSs that we've exported a full list of all attributes and their values to. Each ODS is identical.
We've then created an InfoSet to link the Product Cube to each of the 3 ODSs. We can then add 3 variables to the query representing each ODSs. Since the ODS holds over half a million attributes, we limited it to 3 since it takes 30 minutes to run.
It's not elegant, it's not pretty, and I'm sure it's not optimal. I'm hoping someone can describe a better solution.

2 queries sharing 1 variable entry screen

We have 2 queries in a workbook which use identical user-entered variants. Is there a way to have the user only fill in the variants once for both queries.
Thanks,
Ron

Hi,
Yes. you can. Bex will bring the popup for variable entry for the Query which is last inserted.
Some say-> your have insert Query1 and then Query2.
The the popup for Query2 with appear first and user make a variant there and save it. Now i am assuming that you have make sure that you are using the same variables for both query..then there will be no popup and the whatever values which user have entered in variant of Query2 which will taken by Query2 also.
Fews points to keep in mind->
1) Make sure that you are using the same variables (check techinal names of variables) in Query 2 as you have in Query 1.
2) To refresh all queries with a single refresh screen, the user can select any cell in the workbook that is NOT part of the query (to visualize which cells are part of a query, use the Analyzer toolbar and select Layout >> Mark queries on worksheet), then select the refresh button. You will see a message box that says "No query is selected. Do you want to refresh all queries in the workbook?". If you select Yes, all queries will refresh with one refresh screen (assuming all queries have identical variables).

San!

Question on WAD's "Variable Entry" screen values

Hi,
I've one Web Template Report contains "Variable Entry" screen.
It has one entry for Plant.
Also inside a report I'm having one DropDownList that is for Plant only.
My Requirement is:
If I enter some "1000" as a input in Plant at Variable screen, that same "1000" should be passed inside the report. And that corresponding DropDownList should show the "1000" as the selected value.
Now I'm getting "Show all values" as the default selected item.
Kindly suggest to achive this requirement.
Full points will be given.
Thanks
-Jay Jay

Hi,
1)If i didn't give any value in Variable Entry screen, in the result DropDownList shows "No data" in disabled mode.
Ans. Since you have not checked "Display All Values", i think if you dont give any selection in the Variable Screen, the DropDown box will not be highlighted.
2)The Selected plant Not only having Name and id, But also having all characteristics like, 1402,Pen,Business Partner: xxxxx, Distribution channel:xxx, etc.,
Ans. Since we are reading from the Master Data, i think all these values will also be displayed.
I still dont know if you are using WAD 3.5 or 7 ? Maybe we have better options in 7. You can try with different properties.
Hope it helps.

Code 91 - Caused Error: (Object variable or With block variable not set)

Hi,
We are using FDM 9.3.1. We have enabled batch processing.
We are having following process being followed
- Batch Loader script will pull the data from dwh table for each entity, scenario, year and period
- Batch processing is set to serial and processlevel set to Up-To-Check
- We had following five files created for Location - EMAFF100
i. 1_EMAFF100_ACT_May-2011_RR.txt

Batch loader process completed the processing for May - 2011, Jul - 2011, Aug-2011, Sep-2011.
But for Jun 2011 it has given the following error in the 'tbatchinformation' table and failed at import stage.

We then re submitted data for Jun period and saw batch process got successfully completed and June data got imported successfully and also rest other processes got through.
Can any one provide exact cause for this error? As we have automated the data load from DWH to FDM And then to HFM. Hence when such error comes it disturbs lot of processing there on. Appreciate your early response.
Thanks in advance.

Hi SAP collegues,
At my site, BPC Excel created this problem too "Object Variable or With Block Variable not set" .
It turned out that this is symptom of a a dys-functioning BPC COM Plug-in in XL2007 or XL2010!
This is a consequence that your Excel recently crashed while using BPC. And it relates to an Excel Add-in becoming disabled when the applications crashes. Please check the following.
Note before doing the following, close all other open Excel and BPC sessions.
Within Excel go to File à Options
Select the Add-Ins option on the left
Select the <<COM Add-ins >> option in the Manage drop down, and click Go
Make sure that the Planning and Consolidation option is selected. If not, mark this box and click OK.
If you do not see anything listed, return to the Add-in screen and select the Disabled Items option, and see if Planning and Consolidation is listed there.
Let me know if you have any queries,
Kind Regards,
robert ten bosch

Batch Processing error: Object variable or With block variable not set - 91

We are experiencing the following error when trying to execute the FDM Batch Processing of files in our UAT environment. This error is not occuring in our DEV environment. I have seen this error before when the data file had been left open and FDM could not access the file, so it appears this error is usually due to file permissions. However, this time none of the files are open, and as far as we can see, FDM should have full access to the OpenBatch and Inbox folders etc.
Does anyone please have any suggestions, particularly on what account FDM will carry out the various tasks? Would it use a system account?

I can confirm that there is definitely data present in our data files in this case.
Please note that this error only occurs when using the Batch Processing functionality of FDM Workbench (which requires files to be placed in the OpenBatch subfolder of the Inbox). I can load individual files fine when using the FDM Web Client.
As part of the first step of the batch load process, FDM Workbench moves files from the OpenBatch folder to a new folder which it creates in the Inbox\Batches directory. However, it is not even managing to do this, and gives the error below.
We have tried to share the OpenBatch folder, to allow specific users access to drop files into this folder. Consequently, I believe suggests a security problem on the OpenBatch folder itself (please see original post). I have been told privileges should be sufficient for FDM to make use of this folder too, however I suspect this is not the case at present.
In the meantime, please let me know if this could be due to other causes.

Variable entry screen for query doesnt show selection values.

Hi,
I've created a query with date varibale Quarter From-To. When i execute this query, the variable entry screen pops up but when i try to select values just shows ??? and not the text.
if i run the same query in RSRT the variable entry screen pops up but here the selection values are present for me to choose from.
can anyone tell why the values arent showing when the query is executed.
Thanks

yes, it seems to be a problem with NetWeaver BI BEx Java Web runtime as it works in RSRT and web analyzer. Found a note on marketplace note 125357 - No values displayed for attributes in input help but this did not resolve issue.
A call has been raised now as it seems to be a product fault

Variable entry screen from BW in webdynpro

Hi all,
    can I use the variable entry screen for a BEx query to access all the user inputted values in a webdynpro application.
    I want to launch this screen from within the webdynpro application, and once the user presses "Execute", I want all the user selections back in the application.
    Is this possible at all?
Thanks,
Satyajit.

Hi Satyajit,
Since the variable entry screen orignates from the BI system in conjunction with a web template it cannot be invoked separately. Do you plan to run the web application within a Web Dynpro application (i.e. an iFrame)? One option would be to use the BI Java SDK to populate the values in a user selection screen and then use the user's selection to execute a query or MDX statement. Of course you Web Dynpro app is responsible for rendering the result set.
Regards,
Oliver
