Problem with variable offset

Hi, I am using BI 7.0.
I have a query with 0calmonth in rows, I need the last 12 months, so I did 0calmonth from variable -1 to -11. I have the 12 rows with the month description correctly.
I have 8 columns with formulas and filter.
I can see the rows of the month I executed with the numbers without problem, but in the other rows (months before) of all the offset I don´t have the result.
Does anyone have any idea? I made it Z with other object and Z variable, but still the problem.
I tried with differents months, but the same problem.
Thanks in advance
Tomas

Tomas,
Any chance your variable on Cal Month is in the free Characteristics or the Filter? If so you entire results area is restricted to this value irrespective of what offsets you have put on. You will need to put the variable into a selection.

Problem with variable offset for 0CALMONTH

Hello Community,
I have a problem with using variables offset for time characteristic 0CALMONTH
Let's say my current query looks like this:
...................01.2006..........02.2006..........03.2006   (0CALMONTH)
Sales ..............100..................125................200   (Keyfigure)
What I want do now is to add a previous year comparison. So that it should look this way:
...................01.2006..........02.2006..........03.2006   (0CALMONTH)
Sales ..............100..................125................200   (selected months)
LY_Sales...........50..................100................100   (selected months - 12)
(LY_Sales should show figures of 01.2005, 02.2005 and 03.2006 in this example)
I used new selection for LY_Sales with variable offset for 0CALMONTH -12 but that didn't work. Figures in second line are zero. The desired figures would show up (if I expand the selected time intervall wide enough) in 01.2005, 02.2005 and 03.2005 but that's of course not what I want.
Please help if you can!
Regards,
Ulrich

Hi,
We can get an an other way by using CELL editor caoncept.
First create teh query like this:
...................01.2006..........02.2006........12.2006.....01.2005...02.20005...12.2005 Sales ..............100................125..............200.............50...........100.........100
Sales ..............100................125..............200.............50...........100.........100
Then hide the 2005 years' kf:
...................01.2006..........02.2006........12.2006
Sales ..............100................125..............200
Sales ..............100................125..............200
Though the call editor concept overwrite the second rows(selection) content with hidden columns of second row(selection) one by one .i.e first cell of 2nd row will be overwritten by 13 th cell of second column.similarly second cell of 2nd row will be overwritten by 14 th cell of second column........
First row(selection) : Cal year Charactertic with restriction 2006.
second row(selection) : Cal year Charactertic with restriction 2005.

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.

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 ?

Localizing Analytics Web Catalog - problem with variables

I tried to localize strings in OBI EE Web Catalog. I exported those captions using catalog manager, translate messages in XML file and put them to \Web\Res\l_xx\Captions. It works quite good.
But there is problem with variables in Title. Replacement of variables STOP working :-( At the page is displayed for example: "@{biServer.variables['MaxDate']}". Variable replacemen works fine in narrative views.
Do you have some ideas?
Thanks.

We have the same problem with presentation variables in titles using externalize strings option, they stopped working after tranlation.
We tried with Oracle BI EE 10.1.3.2.1 and 10.1.3.3.3 with same result.
Any ideas?

Problem with variable name in ZXRSRTOP include (virtual KF)

Hi all,
I am coding a routine to use a virtual key figure in the BEx.
I have just a little problem with the name of a variable:
as explained in the documentation, I created the variable with the prefix G_POS_, the name of the infocube and the name of the infoobject all together:
DATA: G_POS_BC_ST_003_C_DIV__C_COMPAR type i.
The problem is that this variable name is longer than 30 characters, so the system doesn't accept it.
Is there a workaround, other than changing the name of the infoobject (which is a navigational attribute)?
Any help would be appreciated.
Loï

Hello Marc,
I understand that I have to use a concatenate function and a dynamic call of the variable with (variable) instruction, but i do not understand how to implement it.
the infocube name is BC_ST_003
the characterisdtic name is C_DIV__COMPAR
So, in the include ZXRSRTOP the statement
DATA : G_POS_BC_ST_003_C_DIV__COMPAR
does not work due a length problem (see first post)
But in the same include the statement
+DATA: l_global_name type c.
concatenate 'GPOS' 'BC_ST_003' 'C_DIV__C_COMPAR' into l_global_name separated by '_'.+
drives to the following error : statement is not accessible.
Could u please provide me with an example of the code in the include ZXRSRTOP, and in the include ZXRSRZZZ for the use of this variable.
Thanks in advance.

Problem In Variable Offset BI 7.0

Hi,
In SAP BI 7.0 i have cerated a variable on Posting date with Interval now i have to restrict that with Variable off set 0 and -7,
For that Under Show dropdown list i have selected Valuranges. and in next dropdown box i have selected between
Then when i am selecting my variable from Select from list when i am seclting Variables i am not able to see my variable .
I have tried so many times but it is not showing any newly creatd variable. insted of value ranges if i select variables i can see my created variable in the list but if i select value ranges and between i am not able to get my variable as per my requirement i need to pass two offset value.
Any one having any sugestion/ idea please share with me.
Amit

Hi Amitpati, From your context, I assume you would like to view the Posting Dates for 1 week duration. I'm just giving a possible workaround for this scenario. 1st RKF: create a variable for 0CALDAY on the row/col structure which is the 1st element. In the second RKF use an offset -7 to query on the past 1week data. Use a formula to compute difference between KF elements 1 & 2. Pls let me know if I'm correctly following your query. Assuming you may be using current date as posting date, you may have a look into Key Date; which is listed on the Query Properties on the right most tab. Also, you may try changing the query using 0CALWEEK in cube; but this being a task to change the structure would be the last priority. Thanks!

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

Problem with SMPTE offset with video

Hi everyone,
I'm having a strange problem with a SMPTE offset for a video clip I am working on and I was wondering if anyone can help me out. Here's what I've done so far in Logic Pro (7.2.1):
1) Set the Sync Mode to Internal.
2) Set the Frame Rate to 29.97 non-drop.
3) Imported the video clip that can be found here in case you want to give it a try: http://www.andrew-munro.com/video/video.html
4) Entered the Movie Start time as 00:00:00:00.
5) In the Video Song Settings under Synchronization I set it so bar 1 plays at SMPTE 00:00:07:20.
The problem was that sometimes the SMPTE frame in Logic did not match the burned in time code in the video clip. Sometimes it matched just fine. The other strange thing was that if I saved the song, closed it, then opened it again, I'd have to do the offset all over again b/c it didn't save.
Does anyone have some suggestions about how to solve this problem, or an alternate way to create the offset?

Zero out your Video Song Settings offset and instead, try setting the offset either in the Tempo Window or on the movie's "movie start" field. See if that makes a difference.

Problem with Variable 0I_CUFQU

Hi all,
We are using Fiscal year/ Period with variable SAP Exit 0I_CUFQU in FIGL_V11 reports.
Earlier It was working fine but after Patch Upgrade when I run the same report I am getting the Follwing error.
Variable 0I_CUFQU could not be replaced.
If anyone knows the answer please share the solution for the same.
Regards,
Ali.

Hi Ali,
All these variables use sap exit varaible 0P_FVAEX for thier internal calculation. this is a program error and cen be resolved by SAP note 1322757.
The following SAP exit variables for BW queries may be affected by the error (the technical names for the variables):
0P_PRFP1, 0P_PRFP2, 0I_CUFYE, 0I_PRFYE, 0I_CUFQU, 0I_PRFQU,
0I_PRFY2, 0F_CUFPE, 0F_FPER, 0I_P2FQ0, 0I_P3FQU
This note will correct the program error.
Let me know if this works.
Thanks,
Amit
