Preselection-variable (replacment-path: replacement with query)

Hello Expert's
Can you explain me, how we can set up a pre-query with characteristics and key figures.
e.g.
Due the performace reason in the olap process, we have the calculate a range of values before
in query 1. This query contains characteristics and key figures.
In the query 2 we've preselection-variable (replacment-path: replacement with query) to query 1.
My question is, how we can get also the key figures-values from query 1, to continue to use the values for query 2?
Thanks for feedbacks,
Regards

Hi,
As this is the variable restriction and variable restrictions are not put on key figure values (except RKF). As I know you will not be able to get key figure values using replacemtn path with query.

  • Text Variable replace with Customer Exit Variable

    Dear Experts,
    I created a text variable based on replacementh path (instead of customer exit). The reference characteristic is same that as my customer exit Variable and replace it by Key.
    I want to replace it with already Existing Customer Exit Variable but it is not displaying in the List Box even though existing variable option is mandatory.
    Can any one Suggest me the answer for this.
    Regards
    Supraja.K

    I do not think you can select Customer Exit variable, if you see the type is selected to Char Value Variables and it is not editable.
    It would be suggested to go for Customer Exit procesing type for your text variable.

  • Difference between Replacement with a query and Replacement from Variable

    Hi Gurus
    Would explain the difference between the Replacement Path: Replacement with a query and Replacement Path: Replacement from Variable with scenarios.
    Thanks in advance,
    Aravind.S

    Hi,
    If you are using Replacement with query, the given query output will be used as input your variable. For example if you want to display the product details, which can be find our from a query.
    And Replacement with Variable will be used  when you want to give the same input  in two different fields. for example if you want to see the records from sending location and not the records from recived location at the same time. Here once you give the sending location id, it will be taken as the same input for received location.

  • Offset in Variable Replacement Path

    Hi gurus,
    I have a 7.0 BI System.
    I can't able to set an offset in a variable replace from query.
    It's normal? Or I must to set some parameters to make it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    What you exactly mean by variable replace - is it
    Formula variable with processing by replacement path  -If yes, then you can set the offset in the replacement path variable. when we create a replacement path variable then we do get the option for setting the offset. Please check that while creating a replacement path variable.
    Thanks

  • Replacement Path variable with query

    Hi all,
       I have a replacement path variable in a query that use the result from other query (a pre-query), both of them use the same variables, exactly the same, although the query ask me for the values of the variables twice (for the query and for the pre-query), is possible that the query ask me for the  variables only one time (re-use the same values for both queries)?
    Thanks,
      Javier

    If possible use only the variable with replacement path on the query. Since the Pre-query has all the same variables as the main query, the user would enter all the required input on the pre-query one time. The result of the pre--query feeds the main query. If the main query has no other selection variables except for the replacement path, the selection screen will not pop up again.
    Thanks

  • How do I...Mimic Replacement Path with Query using Customer Variable Exits?

    Hello SDN:
    We are on BW 3.5 SP16.
    We are currently using a replacement path Query(RP) with variables
    to populate a variable in another Query(T).
    The problem we are having is with performance.
    The entry of variables in replacement path Query(RP) is optional (This is necessary there cannot be required values)
    When results from Replacement Path Query are small performance is fine. (e.g. 10 seconds)
    When results from Replacement path query are large performance suffers. (e.g. 1+ minutes)
    Users are free to leave the replacement path variables empty resulting in a large set of data to be replaced. This is the worst performance case.
    We would like to discover a way to conditionally execute the replacement path query. That is if users do not enter values for the replacement Query(RP) variables do not execute the replacement path query(RP).
    Does anyone know if this is possible within reason and in customer exit space?
    We have reviewed the situation from all angles and the requirement for the replacement path FUNCTIONALITY and the freedom for the user to leave variable values blank remains.
    I've been searching and reading SDN and SAP notes for about a week and do not find threads which address this situation.
    We are also exploring Customer variable exits to mimic replacement path functionality
    (different topic subject="How do I...Mimic Replacement Path with Query using Customer Variable Exits?")
    Any help will be appreciated
    Many thanks

    My appologies-I posted this message with the wrong subject. I will repost it with appropriate subject.

  • Query Variable - Replacement Path

    Hi all,
    I would need to fill a query variable (based on calendar week characteristic) with specific list of values. I need all calendar weeks that are present in infocube, but only if key-figure > 0. So I've created a query with cal. weeks in rows and with suppressed zero rows. Output values from query contains exactly what I need.
    Than I created a variable (replacement path) with reference to mentioned query. But it seems to me that the variable does not contain all values displayed in the query, but only filtered values (if I use some restriction of cal. week).
    Is it possible to achieve this using replacement path at all?
    If not I would appreciate any idea or experiences how to accomplish this requirement.
    Many thanks,
    regards,
    Pavel

    Hi Pavel, I didn't get your requirement 100% . Still, I would like to tell How Replacement path works.
    First of all for the Source query you have given condition to restict the output of the query on particular keyfigure value > 0 ......  Right.
    Now on second query, you have created the Characteristic variable with Replacement path....here some important things to look at.
                    while creating the variable, select Processing Type as REPLACEMENT PATH, then in the "Replacement path" Tab,  give Replaced variable with.. "Query" ...and at bottom, For QUERY give the query name.
    If u want RRI facility from Source Query to Target Query, then u give RRI Connection in T-Code : RSBBS....
    ...and now when u execute the Second Query, First the first Query will be executed and those filtered values > 0 will be passed to the Second Query's variable input...then the second query will be executed...
    But, in your case check once again all settings in Variable in Second Query..and Conditions block in First Query..
    It should definitely work...

  • Can anyone give me examples of replacement path with query?

    hi all,
    Can anyone give me examples of replacment path with query. if u have any docs pls send it across to my email id [email protected]
    thanxs
    hari

    Here is an example:
    Lets assume you have a characteristic( Say Project)  with about 30 attributes. now your requirement is to display all 30 attributes and about 10 keyfigures and another characteristic and it's attributes...
    If Project has about 25K projects in a Year,you will find its very difficult to diasply all the inofmation with one Query.(you may get disconnected from server after executing the query)..
    So firstly,create a Query1 only with Project and keyfigures.
    then create another Query2 only with Project and its attributes...here create a variable on Projeect with replacementpath and select the Query1.So you will have the Projects only from Query1.
    Create Query3 with Project and other chars.create one more variable on Project with replacementpath select Query1 result. So this Query also gets Projects from Query1...
    Now Query2 and Query3 get Projects from Query1 always...so you will have same Projects in your all 3 Queries..
    Now crate a workbook and insert 3 Queries.make sure you insert Query1 lastly.Since last inserted query will be executed first...
    You may use VBA or excel functionality if you want to see whole data in one sheet.
    Hope this helps.

  • Replacement Path with Query

    Dear Experts,
    We are facing problem where we had a query in which we are having the characteristic External Notiifcation and created varaible for the same and this variable is getting replaced with Output of another query i,e the procesing type for this variable is Replacement path.
    We had results for the query which we are using in the replacement path and also the same values exists in the cube on which we built the second query in whcih we are using the Replacement path.
    when we execute the current query,query was not showing any output.Any suggestions would be of great help.

  • Replacement Path with query---error

    Hi
    I have one query 'B' which uses replacement path variable(with query  A) on 'Customer' infoobject in Global filter area.
    So everytime,I execute query 'B',first query 'A' runs and gives some customers list who are active yesterday and today.This active customers list is fed into replacement variable in query 'B' and query 'B' shows its own result.
    The problem,we have is,Query 'B' is showing some customers who are not in the list returned by query 'A'.
    Any ideas,how I can fix this problem?
    Thanks.............

    Hi
    Thanks for your reply.
    Both run on same Multiprovider.
    First thing is...this Customer infoobject is placed in Global filter area of Main Query and the infoobject has replacement path variable(with query on it).So the main query's data is limited to whatever customers that are given by replacement path query.
    how can Main query show some customers data thats not been given by this replacement path query?
    Second thing is...when user reported this error,he showed error in screenshots.When I ran query today,error is gone.Its showing correct.I reported to user and he informed that its happening now and then ....He gave one more example that happened today which is exactly of some type.....Main Query is showing customers that are not given by Replacement path query .....
    Any ideas?Thanks

  • When Hard-coded server name and data base name are replaced with variables , execute process task does not produce the result

    Hi All,
    I am trying to load shape file into a sql spatial table. A execution process task is used to run the ogr2ogr.exe program.
    This is how the process tab looks like .
    Executable : C:\gdal_ogr2ogr\bin\gdal\apps\ogr2ogr.exe
    Argument :  -f MSSQLSpatial   MSSQL:server=SQL-ABC-DEV;database=MYSIMPLE_Dev;Trusted_Connection=True;\\mypath\files\shares\Data\www.mypage.htm\my_sample_file.shp
    Success value : 1
    For above settings, package runs fine. The spatial table is created in SQL server db. However when hard-coded SQL server name and database name are replaced with global variables , the spatial table is not created in the database. Yet the package runs fine.
    It does not throw any errors. (I am using another variable for full file path. It is not causing any errors though)
    " -f MSSQLSpatial   MSSQL:server="+@[$Project::SQLServerName]+";database="+ @[$Project::DatabaseName] +";Trusted_Connection=True;"+ @[User::Filepath] + "\\my_sample_file.shp"
    Both variables are string type. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here please?
    I am running this in VS 2012.
    Thanks for your help in advance..

    There should be a single space just after True:
    before
    " -f MSSQLSpatial   MSSQL:server="+@[$Project::SQLServerName]+";database="+ @[$Project::DatabaseName] +";Trusted_Connection=True;"+ @[User::Filepath] + "\\my_sample_file.shp"
    after keeping the space

    Edit: how does the choose from list dialog handle those big strings? I'm guessing not very well - is that why you avoided using them?

  • Trouble opening .inx files in CS3 - links randomly replaced with foo.jpg

    I have to move a lot of CS4 InDesign files to CS3, and I often run into a bizarre problem. After opening an .inx file in InDesign CS3, sometimes perfectly normal PDF, JPG, EPS and AI files will mysteriously be replaced with a linked file called "foo.jpg" that InDesign thinks is missing (it always reports the path as "c:foo.jpg"). I then have to go figure out what the original file was actually called and where it was saved and relink it manually.
    There is no rhyme or reason to when linked files don't come over - our logo is saved in one location and linked in every single piece we make, yet sometimes it links fine when imported into CS3 and sometimes it doesn't. Going back to CS4 and exporting a new .inx file never works - a file that will not link correctly in CS3 will never show up correctly.
    It always thinks "foo" is a .jpg file, even if the original link was actually a .pdf, .eps or whatever.
    Any ideas? I'm perplexed.

    Smells like a bug to me. Did you try reporting it?
    What happens if you search the incp file for "foo"? Does it find 
    anything?
    When the vendor opens the file, what is the link name on his end?

  • Not able to replace new query in old workbook

    Hi All,
    I am having a workbook on a query which was developed long back,due to few changes i created new query and now i want to replace that query in old workbook which it is not allowing also tried to create new workbook with new query but when i run workbook it shows no applicable data found ,when i run query the data is coming.
    I need all your suggestion on this
    Regards
    Deva

    Hi Dev,
    Open your Workbook and Go to the Sheet in which the desired query (to be removed) is embedded.
    In the "BEx Toolbar" 3rd Last Icon if you place cursor on  it it will say "Tools" > Click on Tools and you will see an Option "Remove Query" or if you want to remove All queries from Work book there is another option Tools> All Queries in Workbook --> Detach.
    This will remove the Query from Workbook.
    Then in same Tools--> you can see Insert Query click on it and point (select) your new Query.
    This will insert the new query in Workbook.
    Save the Workbook.
    Hope this will resolve your issue.
    Do post back if you face any probs.
    Thanks
