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
Thanks in Advance,

We fixed the "Variable Screen not appearing" problem by adding following objects to our users.
1) Business Explorer - BEx Web Templates (NW 7.0+) S_RS_BTMP
2) Business Explorer - Individual Tools S_RS_TOOLS
3) Business Explorer - Data Access Services S_RS_DAS

Hi Abraham,
thsi could be a problem from the specisic setting of the infocube. Please check the BEx Settings from the infocube. You can find them by the following steps:
- search for the infocube
- doubleclick on the infocube
- choose an specific infoobjekt
- right mousebutton and click "specific dataprovider settings"
- check if the right entries are set

Problem with variable in the woorkbook selection screen.

Hi All,
I have Problem with Variable in the selection screen. I have four variable in the report in this sequence
Plant (optional), calendar month (mandatory), material (optional), Customer (mandatory). 
In Development system, I changed the query to fix the problem for a formula. saved and executed the query. In the selection screen appeared four variables and executed. after executing the query and I saved the work book also. I logged out of the Bex Analyzer. In the RSRT I generated the report by clicking the Generated Report push button. and again logged into the Bex analyzer and ran the work book, now in the selection screen, appeared three Variables only, I am missing the variable Customer.
The old report which is already in the Production system is working fine. What could be the mistake I did in the development system.
It is very urgent, I need to deliver this object as soon as possible.
Can I anybody help on the same.
Thanks in advance

In RSRT Generated Report and again connected to Bex analyzer and ran the work book, now appeared only three variables again missed variable customer.

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

Problem with variable on 0fiscper on a infoset in a report

hi ,
I have an infoset on two ods's , ods1 & ods2. I have used inner join and the join is on field 0fiscper and fiscal variant. Which are present in both ods.
In my query i have created a variable on ods1 0fiscper, the same variable appears for ods2 0fiscper also.
I have two issues mainly
1. In the variable entry screen when i click the button for value selection - i am get a lot of values for 0fiscper , even though my both ods have 6 periods only. I have other reports which use the same variable there i don't have a problem.
2. And after the query is executed when i try to filter on 0fiscper i get the following error
System error in program CL_RSMD_RS_SPECIAL and form GET_DIME_VALUES-02 (see long text)
I am assuming the problem are due to the info set.
Any help is appreciated.

FYI, when you create a variable on a characteristic (in your case FISCPER), those variables are not query specific. They are known as global variables and hence are avble in all queries were 0FISCPER is used.
As for the error message...please look into the SAP Note <a href="https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=1006369&_NLANG=E">1006369</a>.
Hope this helps.

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.

Oliver

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.

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.

Problem with variables in formulas when using CrystalReportViewer

Post Author: Aksu
CA Forum: Formula
Hi! I have a problem with variables in Crystal Reports formulas, when using CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer class from VS2005-project. ReportViewer always gives error:*************Crystal Report Windows Forms ViewerThis field name is not known.Details: errorKindError in File C:\{dir]}\{file}.rpt:Error in formula <mCustomerAttributes>.'Dim result As String'This field name is not known.Details: errorKind ************* Report without variables works fine with Viewer and in Crystal Reports Designer report with variables works also fine. I have tried with both "formula-syntaxes" - basic and crystal. But Viewer always gives error when trying to define new variable.I think the problem might be with CR -versions, because VS-project has formerly been designed to VS2003 and CR9 or 10. Now I'm using VS2005 and CR11. Though I have changed all references to new CrystalDecisions-asseblies (Ver.11.0.3300.0), when I debug the project and checkout the Viewers ReportSources FormatEngine Shows version CR9_2.... I have no idea where it gets this version...***************DEBUG-view when Viewer is created *******************CrystalReportViewer |_ ReportSourceClassFactoryName ... , Version=11.0.3300.0 , ... |_ ReportSource |_ FormatEngine {CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormatEngine} |_ ClientVersionHeader {CrystalDecisions.Shared.ReportServiceVersionHeader} |_ | version = 920 (int) |_ Static members |_ VER_CR9 = 920 (int)**************************************** Could anyone have any answers or tips for this problem? I'd really appreciate it... ---Aksu

Has anyone been able to answer this question?
I am having the same problem:
I am designing a report in Crystal Reports XI Developer that contains parameters, which are passed to a stored procedure and are also used within formulas ( in Crystal Syntax ie. {?FORMAT_ID} ) in the report itself.
I can run the report successfully in CRXI Developer. The formulas use the correct values from the parameters entered during execution and everything looks good.
I then deploy the report to Business Objects Enterprise XI. I do all of the things necessary to manage the report including setting up the proper database connection information and default parameter values.
When I run the report using the Crystal Report Viewer, I get the following error message:
Error in File Forecasting.rpt:
Error in formula <Report Format>.
'if (not isNull({?FORMAT_ID} ) ) then
This field name is not known.
Details: errorKind
This happens when I press the "Preview" button in the Manage Object dialog from Crystal or when I run the report using InfoView.
I have changed the formulas and it doesn't seem to matter what the specific content of the formula is; other than the existence of a parameter reference in the formula. If I comment out the parameter and replace it with a hard-coded value, it gets through the formula fine.
Does Business Objects Enterprise XI support crystal reports with parameter references in the formulas?
Thanks,
Tim H.

My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

Try this for the freezing

Or if they don't work put it into recovery mode

Problem with variable

Hi. I'm making a form for work for people to book places on
training courses. Having an annoying problem with variables that
i'm hoping has a simple solution. Any help with this will be much
appreciated.
All the info is held in an external text file which looks
like this (but much longer):
&totalcourses=2&
&course0=Please choose a course&
&course1=my course one&
&totaldates1=3&
&c1date0=Select a date...&
&c1date1=15 September 2006&
&c1time1=Time: 10:00 to 16:00&
&c1date2=23 January 2006&
&c1time2=Time: 11:00 to 16:00&
&c1date3=28 February 2007&
&c1time3=Time: 12:00 to 16:00&
&course2=my course 2&
&totaldates2=3&
&c2date0=Select a date...&
&c2date1=15 September 2006&
&c2time1=Time: 11:00 to 16:00&
&c2date2=08 January 2007&
&c2time2=Time: 9:00 to 16:00 &
&c2date3=15 February 2007
&c2time3=Time: 12:00 to 16:00&
The course titles are loaded into an array and then into a
combobox. When a course is chosen a second combobox loads the
relevant dates array for that course. When a date is chosen the
time is shown in a dynamic text box.
Problem is - if more than one course is on the same date it
will show the time for the latest course with that date. For
example - course 1 is on 15 sept at time 10:00 to 16:00, course 2
is also on 15 sept at time 11:00 to 16:00. When 15 Sept is chosen
for course one it displays the time for course 2 on this date -
presumably because it comes later in the text file.
I've attached the actionscript for this - Can anyone help me
sort this out??

Problem with Variable Client Support

Hello,
I work with Labview 8.5 and Crio 9014.
I have a problem with Variable Client Support. When I try to compile my project I have the following error:
"The Network Variable Engine and Variable Client Support must be installed on the RT target for this application to function properly..."
I have read that we have to install the Variable Client Support in Measurement and Automation by right-clicking on the software and then choosing add/remove software but I can't install the appropriate shared variable components because I can't see neither Network Variable Engine and Variable Client Support. So what can I do?
Can somebody help me?
Thanks

I have exactly the same problem. I wanted go through the "Getting Started with the LabVIEW RT module" and when I use wizard for generating new project I get same notification in my VI...
The Network Variable Engine and Variable Client Support must be installed on the RT target
for this application to function properly. If the Network Variable Engine is not supported on
the target (e.g. FP-2000 with <32MB of RAM), open the project and move the variable library
to My Computer in the project. Doing this will deploy the variables to localhost but
will still require that Variable Client Support be installed on the RT target.
Could someone help please ?

Why my ipad have problem with the rotation screen

i have a problem with the rotation screen is locked, i try everything but nothing is happening help

If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button
