Pseudo delta with ABAP or OLAP variables

Hey gurus!
Since I have to post my first question at SDN one day, it may better be now! I'm rather new to SAP BI, therefore your help is requested:
I'm currently implementing a pseudo delta, a full data load from ODS to ODS and subsequently ODS to Cube. The data requested should consist of yesterdays records, which was relatively easy in SAP BW 3.5.
Since it is not possible anymore to, and I quote, choose one of the following selections in the Type (Variable Changing of Selections with Background Processing) entry column from the Data Selection tab page (numbers 0-7, 0 is required), I can now only solve it with creating another OLAP variable or ABAP coding.
Is there anyone that can give me some advice or provide me with some basic ABAP coding which selects data from 'yesterday?'
Your help is appreciated!
Regards,
Joost

Thanks for your reply Pom!
I'm not sure where to insert the '0' as type in my case. I've created a data transfer process instead of an infopackage now, but when setting up my filter there is nowhere to select the type. Or do I have to create an 'old fashioned' infopackage?!
Your help is appreciated, please provide some directions.
Regards,
Joost

OLAP variable in ABAP Routine.

In data selection of Infopackage, I have used a OLAP variable. Is it possible to access the routine for OLAP variable in a ABAP routine?? How to proceed for the same???

Hi,
There are function modules for SAP variables.
- RSVAREXIT_variablename
- RREX_VARIABLE_EXIT (for variables to be processed see include LRREXTOP).
Customized variables with exit can be accessed by FM EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001.
If you are able to transfer mandatory parameters, just implement call of required FM
Into report. If not, you have to copy and adopt coding desired from the FMs.
Hope this helps
Joe

ABAP code for custom OLAP variables

Hi experts,
We have a custom variant set as customer exit that I have just added to an infopackge for the data selection of 0FISCYEAR infoobject via 7-OLAP Variant. When I click on the magnifying glass under the "details for Type" column, the "Use Variable of OLAP Processor" window appears showing the OLAP Variable and the fiscal year variant. When you hit F6 (check) it should process the variant and return data for the ranges. With this variant we are using there is not data being returned (using the SAP exit variants data is returned).
I have gone through the forums and have seen people citing the function module EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001 as this is the user exit which houses such abap code. I have seen the variant inside this module and the code itself, but why is it in the infopackage when I click on check (F6) no data is returned? I am getting the feeling this abap code is only executed for reporting. In this case I want the infopackage to select certain data from R/3 (via the use of OLAP variable with custom code) during the load to the ODS.

Hi Mark,
If you created the custom fiscal year variant as a customer exit type, I doubt that it'll work.
Variant is an auxiliary time characteristic. You cannot create it. You can only add new char values:
BW Customizing Implementation Guide (SPRO tcode) -> Business Information Warehouse -> General BW Settings -> Maintain fiscal year variant.
Though, maybe I misunderstood your requirements.
Best regards,
Eugene

Infopackage Selections Tab-OLAP Variable/ABAP Routine

Hi Experts
In my Infopackage Selections Tab i had Cal Mon/Year field....
As per my requirment i have to write a selection condion that when we execute info package (it is a monthly data load) it will extract data only for the months greater than or equal to current month
Please update me on how can i achieve this either by using OLAP Variable or ABAP Routine in infopackage...will be great if can provide the required ABAP Code
Thanks in Advance

here's an example that fills the fiscal year from last month (bold is customer code... the rest is standard):
data: l_idx like sy-tabix.
read table l_t_range with key
       fieldname = 'PARAM_P_GJAHR'.
l_idx = sy-tabix.
data:
v_caldy type /BI0/OICALDAY,
v_calmn type /BI0/OICALMONTH,
v_calyr type /BI0/OICALYEAR.
v_caldy = sy-datum.
determine first day*
v_caldy+6(2) = '01'.
determine last month*
subtract 1 from v_caldy.
v_calyr = v_caldy(4).
l_t_range-sign   = 'I'.
l_t_range-option = 'EQ'.
l_t_range-low    = v_calyr.
modify l_t_range index l_idx.
p_subrc = 0.

OLAP Variable with user exit for Infopackage Selection 0fiscper

Hi Frds/ Guru's ,
I have a requirement to use a OLAP Variable for Fiscal year period 0fiscper(Characteristic ) in the Infopackage Selection. . I need to extract the data for Previous Year and Current Year , that is to be automatically selected with a OLAP Variable . The standard one's provided by SAP are not satisfying my requirement,as they are getting populated with SAP Exit and I am not getting the ranges .I am planning to create a variable and use the processing type as Customer Exit and Populate it with ABAP code in respective Enhancement RSR00001.
Even Can I create a ABAP Routine ? Please suggest me which is better to do in respect to performance of dataload , will be really glad if anyone can provide some code for doing this as u might have faced the situation sometime .
I have checked with all the threads available , could get some idea but will be really thankful if u gimme some hints in writing the code , at Exit level and routine level .
Thanks,
Krish

thnx

InfoPackage selection offset with OLAP variable

Hi Bw Gurus,
I have a requirement to load ODS with full upload everytime but in order to reduce repeated loads I am trying to use a DATE field which is not part of communication str. as a selection critera in InfoPacakge.
I changed DS to include this field avaialable for selection and It's working fine when I input date to and from values hard coded in InfoPackage.
Further I am trying to automate this InfoPackage scheduled weekly and I need to include date offset value for this DATE field to load for additional last 2 weeks every time to capture changes for already loaded data.
I have created OLAP customer exit variable having Date interval for Date starting from last 3 weeks to Current DAte and included in InfoPackage selection for DATE field but it's not working. By the way if someone can explain what's meaning for two columns there for TYPE(Variable change to selection.....) and detail for type.
Any clue for reason or any other way to accomplish this requirement?
Thanks in advance,

hi,
can you explain me ,hw you solved the pbm,
the same pbm i am facing.
i am trying to load the data everyweek ( i have date field ),so i have selected OLAP Variable option -7 and there i have selected 0WEEK,but data is not comining from R/3,then i have selected the option -6 abap code,i have written code to get the date range,even though i am not able to retrive the data.
can you suggest me
Thanks

Can I use OLAP variable in ABAP Code of infoobject filter

I have 0FISCPER infoobject in filter section of info-package while loading data.

Authorization with OLAP Variable

Dear all,
we have the following scenario: we need to built a report where we show e.g. a value per employee.
In order to establish that user A can only see his own data and not data from user B we did the followoing:
- Creation of a table ZUSER which contains User-ID (logon) and employee number, e.g. smith / 12345
- Creation of an authorization variable with type customer exit (Y_SU202) and assign it to InfoObject employee
- In the customer exit for OLAP variable the coding reads from ZUSER
So if user A executes the report the system reads the table and fills the variable with the corresponding entry.
It works fine.
But I have to assign in the PFCG Role for the corresponding authorization object * (all values); if I enter the name of the OLAP value it doesnt't work. But I need to do that due to the fact that otherwise the user can select via filtering in the report all values as the auth. variable just works for the exection but not for the filtering (when a * is assigned) in the authorization object.
I tried to enter Y_SU202 and $Y_SU202 in the authorization object; both ways doesn't work.
Thanks for your support
Marc
P.S.: I'm not sure if I should have post this topci to the security forum.

yes, RSSM setting is fine; i have there two InfoObjects (employee number and costcenter).
i changed in the role the value to * for both fields for testing. (after $Y_SU202 did not work for the employee).
It seems that this has something to do with the i_step = 0; if I change it to i_step = 2; the initial execution works.
But if I filter afterwards in teh query on the employee (select filter value) I see all values which is wrong.
If i change the coding to i_step = 0 and the variable to input ready I do see all values, too.
it seems that the auth. check does not work

GuiXT: Checkbox associated with ABAP variable

Hi!
I am trying to do the following:
1. Create the new variable in ABAP program:
DATA: g_checkbox TYPE char1.
2. Create checkbox field on screen by using GuiXT:
CheckBox (3,43) "Check" Name="G_CHECKBOX"
3. Use the variable in ABAP program, e.g.
IF g_checkbox = 'X'.
"... do something
ENDIF.
I did it all, but my checbox at the screen doesn't seem to be associated with ABAP variable. Whatever I enter at the screen, the G_CHECKBOX variable remains empty.
How can I do this?
Thanks!
KR,
Igor

I've got confirmation that what I want is not possible with free version of GuiXT.

Use of OLAP variable 0FYTCFP in extracting GL transaction figures

Hi
We load data to cube 0FIGL_C01.
We use the OLAP variable to ensure that we are extracting for the current fiscal year to date, as a full load, with a deletion of overlapping requests in the process chain.
Our fiscal year ends 30 June. My question is around special periods and opening of the new fiscal year while posting is still allowed into the old year e.g. on 15 July both the old year and the new year are open as the year end processing is still underway, and special periods 13-16 might also be in use.
Do I have to wait until the user close the year (a manual step) to then do a "final" run for the year, with the periods specified manually, or is there a way to automate this?
thanks and regards, Lara

Hi Sander
Thanks for the response.
That;s what I have been doing (run manually after the period is closed). It is not ideal, in my mind, because it (1) relies on someone remembering to do it and (2) has to be done repetitively i.e.at least daily until the "old" period is closed, otherwise reports based on the provider will not be accurate. Again, not hard to do, just a pain when everything else is automated.
This particular DataSource is not delta enabled, otherwise I would have used the delta loads.
regards, Lara

Creation of OLAP Variable for Master data

Dear BW Experts,
How to Create OLAP Variable for Master data in SAP BW? What is the use of OLAP Variable?

The entry column Type (Variable) on the Select Data tabpage indicates a variable time frame in which the data should be requested. The variables are not replaced by concrete values until a request is made. There are eight options:
Variable Data request Description
0
 Yesterday
 (12am 12am)
1
 Last week
 (Monday-Sunday)
2
 Last month
 (1. (First day - last day of previous month)
3
 Last quarter
 (1. (First day - last day of previous quarter)
4
 Last year
 (01. (January 1 Dec 31 of previous year)
5
 User time selection
 See below
6
 ABAP routines
 See below
7
 OLAP variables
 See below
Time selections with the help of the variables 0 to 4.
The variables 0-4 only refer to date fields of the data type DATS.
User time selection
Type 5 gives you a free selection of all fields.
If you select this variable for a field, confirm the selection, and then choose Detail for Type, an additional dialog box appears. In this dialog box you can freely limit the values of the fields and determine the next period value and the number of periods until a repetition.
Variables are placeholders for values and are not replaced by concrete values until a data request is made. You can also use a Variable for selections when requesting data for an InfoObject, if you choose type 7, confirm the selection, and then choose Detail for Type.

Creating new OLap Variable

Hi Experts,
I want to create a new variable for using at data extractions. How can I do that, I tried it at CMOD but I couldn't see my variable at the OLAP Variables list how can I see it in the list ?

How do I get the last 90days from current date in abap routine. When I go to the routine this is what comes up.
Program conversion routine.
Type pools used by conversion program
type-pools: rsarc, rsarr, rssm.
tables: rssdlrange.
Global code used by conversion rules
$$ begin of global u2013 insert your declaration only below this line -
TABLES: ...
DATA:   ...
$$ end of global - insert your declaration only before this line   -
    InfoObject      = SHIPDAT
    Fieldname       = DELIV_DATE
    data type       = DATS
    length          = 000008

Step by step OLAP variable for Infopackage

Hi Experts
I have been thru all the threads but am still not clear how to accomplish this. I am not an ABAPer so am trying to do this in Bex.
I am in BI 7.0. I want to create an OLAP variable for 0CO_OM_CCA_9 infopackage to select all cost centers for one 0comp_code.
I've tried creating a query as well as variable but I can't seem to get it to work.
I think the problem is all of the various possibilities of Settings in the variable creation i.e. Processed by, repalcement path, etc
Thanks very much for your help !

Thank you very much Sven ! This is exactly what I needed.
I have a couple of additional questions.
Do I use the variable in this query somewhere or just create it on the Cube?
For Replacement Rule do I choose query and use the query I've just created or choose variable ?
I have done this with query in replacement Rule and I can't see my variable in the list for selections in my Infopackage.
Thanks for your help
