Query Designer Issue (Variables)

Hello,
I'm trying to create an input query in BI-IP, with 2 característics in rows (untill here evrything works fine).
I'm having problems in creating the columns the way client want. It's a plan query, so the Client wants to Plan his budget monthly for the next year (I've created a mandatory Interval Variable ready for input based on 0FISCPER) if i run the query at this point, it runs, doesn't give results because there are no values.
The problem is that the Client wants to see the Acumulated Real Amount of the previous year in a column before the monthly ones! This is where the query stucks. I assign another variable i've created for cumulative values, and assigned an offset of -1 to that variable
Does anyone knows how to solve this or has any idea so we can start a conversation over here! I'm quite in a hurry as the project is reaching it's end.
Thanks

"The problem is that the Client wants to see the Acumulated Real Amount of the previous year in a column before the monthly ones! This is where the query stucks."
I didnot get that...
When u want to see the Accumulated Real amount of previous year
y do u need to create a variable for it....
for e.g. if i have to do i will do it following way...
Client wants tos ee the Amount of Last year and Current year
i will insert Amount in Columns
right click and say edit
now bring time chars... ofiscper
now restrict it with interval variable , ready for input...
save and hit okey
i will copy the whole amount and paste it below
now i will go to variable restrict screen and then set offset as -1
is this what you did....
if yes... then how does the data corresponds in BW system
logint to rsa1
goto ur cube
right click and hit display data
see what u are seeing....
go to rsrt
run and execute ur query
it will display how each column value is getting calculated
if there is no relevant data then i t will nt show
if there is then u need to redesign variables...
if u r using mandatory variable in columns of keyfigures
dont use 0fiscper in Free chars/Selection screen

BW 3.5, BEx Query designer issue with text of the characteristics

Hi All,
We are currently using BEx 3.5 Query Designer to design the queries. We have one of the ODS on which we are querying for.
We have 3 different types of Customer in this ODS. 0Customer, 0BBP_CUSTOMER and 0GN_CUSTOMER. The problem is when we open this ODS in Query designer we see their text name on the left hand side column where it shows data fields as the same text name Customer.
Now the our Power users have raised the issue that it is very confusing even when there are 3 different technical names for these characteristics.
2 Questions I have.
1) Why is something like this happening? is it some issue with the Patch or something. We will be migrating to new BI soon but in the mean time if I could resolve it that will be the best. Or does it even get resolved with new BI???
2) what is the way in which we can resolve it?
Thanks in advance and points will be given generously.

HI BI Consul!
Things like this happen, when it is called customer it could be different customers, 0customer is the standard R/3 customer and 0BBP_customer is objects from CRM and most likely 0GN_Customer might be customer from different system.
Sure, power users should be told which customer is customer and you could also change the discription of the object, to match the definition on the other system. You could also just create z object and replace the existing confusing object with something meaningful to users.
thanks.

See & in query Designer for variable

Hi guys,
When i turn the technical name on in the Query designer, sometimes I see & in front and end of a variable. Sometimes, I dont see them. I was wondering why.

I see & in the query designer for the variables. Sometimes, for the same variable I dont see & sign in front and back.
This is what I have observed which in no way is a complete assesment.
When you have multiple variables on Active hierachy char. and you delete one, you see '&' in the other variables.

Query Designer Issues Post System Copy

Hi All -
We have just performed a system copy from our production to our QA systems. Now, when we trying to view a report from Query Designer in our QA environment, we are being prompted for a username and password - which is trying to log in to our production environment! (I know this because I locked myself out of production trying to log in via our QA Query Designer). We've done all the BDLS runs, updated the RSLOGSYSDEST table poer OSS note 524554, and also updated the tRFC port in WE20. What do we need to do to be able to run a query out of the BW QA system?
Thanks for the assistance.
Abby

Hi Abby,
Once you execute the query from designer you will get one URL generated in the explorer address bar here you will have to change the name of your production app server with quality app server then report will be executed on quality server.
But this is temporary solution, you will have to check with your basis team regarding this and they will have to change some setting in system table and next time onward the system will pick proper URL.

Durgesh.

Query Designer&WAD: Variable search help - Display Key/Text button

Good day.
Please, can you write me some solution of my problem.
I have the character with hierarchy.
In tab "Business Explorer" of character set display as "Text".
When i run my query on SAP Portal and enter to search help of character, it is displays text of my ZCHARACTER(not key and text). But name of levels(0HIER_BODE) display key and text... (NODENAME and TEXT).
When i run query in BEx Analyzer, in search help all correct. My ZCHARACTER and 0HIER_NODE displays only text.
When i press tech button "Display Key/Text", a see marked "Text". I cannot find the same button when run search help in Query Designer, WAD(or Portal).
How can i display only texts of 0HIER_NODE? But no [Key] Text.
Thank you for answer.
Regards
Update. Can be usefull:
View table RSDVDPA with key DPNAM='0HIER_NODE' consist field CHAPRSNT with value = '0' (Key and Text).
When i change value of table
UPDATE RSDDPA SET CHAPRSNT = '4'
WHERE DPANM EQ '0HIER_NODE'
AND objvers EQ 'A'.
All works correct!
Change this value directly not correct. I think, that it is change of value of parent character. But when?

I have created own 0HIER_NODE character - ZNODENAME.
Only root node infoobject is 0HIER_NODE. All another - Z.
Thanks! ^)

Query Designer Issue - Bucket

Hi ,
I have got a new reuirement, Could you please help me out how can we achieve this.
The data in the cube looks below:
Product
Customer
Start Date
End Date
Amount
P1
Cust1
23-Apr-12
13-May-12
20
P1
Cust2
05-May-12

Cust3
12-Sep-12
15-Sep-12
50
P2
CUst4
19-Oct-12
22-Oct-12

Initially, the report looks in the following manner.
Product
<5 days
>5 days and <= 10 days
>10 days
Amount
P1
0
20
40
60
P2
120
0

120
When i drill down the Customer, then the report should be like this.
Product
Customer
<5 days
>5 days and <= 10 days
>10 days
Amount
P1
Cust1
0
0
20

In the query desinger, what i have done means. I have add the Prodcut in row and Account as free characteristic.
1. Create a formula to calculte the difference between start and end date.
2. Create a formula for all the buckets and if the difference between those days is < 5 days then it will falls into Bucket1 ( < 5 days) and so on.
When i execute the report the report looks like.
Product
<5 days
>5 days and <= 10 days
>10 days
Amount
P1
0
0
60
60
P2
120
0
0
120
Instead of 20 comes into bucket2 (>5 days and < 10 days) , all the cummaltive comes in bucket 3 ( > 10 days).
Could you please help me out how can i solve it.
TIA

Are your dates of type KF ?
IF not then you must have converted them into KF to calculate the difference with the help of formula variable with replacement path.Then it is mandatory to keep the dates in rows otherwise it does not work properly.
And the formula should be something like this for calculating the amount based on difference of days:
(Difference>5)AND(Difference<=10)*Amount
Hope this helps.

Query Designer: Formula Variable

Would like to check how to use the formula variable for key figures?
I have created a formula variable and attached in the formula. How this variable be filled? I have given the properites as manual input but system gives exception error when query is executed.
Error message..
Variable 46LD342EI7BQ4XB6P1GLYDAL9 (46LD342EI7BQ4XB6P1GLYDAL9) was found in the query but in the meantime it has been deleted, or it has been used incorrectly.
Formula variable- can be used in all cases. Note: Formula variables can have units or be without them. Incorrect use can also arise here since the system always calculates in accordance with the units. Formula variables can also be used to create the upper and lower limits in exceptions.

Hi,
I think your definition of your formula veriable is wrong.
have you put the variable as input ready?

Query design issue??

Hi all,
Is there anyway that I can design a report for this case: customers's sale values in the past one year and for those customer who don't have any sales in past one year, then I want to their lastest sales data to fill in the past one year. For example:
If the report run by monthly (001-012/2005) for customers, customer A, B,C have sales data for 001-012/200 and customer D only have sales data for 001-012/2004 , then the sales report is 001-012/2005 and will cover these 4 customers and customer D's sales data (001-012/2004) needs to fill in 001-012/2005 period.
Thanks
J.

Hi,
I am afraid it is not possible do it BEx. Because there should be some validation for customer 'C' and finding a solution may be a bit complicated in BEx I believe.
One option is can go for a customer exit and validate using some logic like below:
If there is no data at all for the given periods getting data from previous periods. Need to brain strom to achieve this...

Bi Query Design Question

Hi,
I have a question regarding a query design issue I was faced with today. I was asked to designed a Query, however all the fields required are all defined as characteristics but I would like to display one as a key figure. I would have a characteristic for a row, the column also for a characteristic and have another characteristic displayed instead of the key figured Is that possible?
Thanks for any feedback

Hi Serge,
This question would be more appripriate -- and you will get a quicker answer -- in the BI Forums. Please open your question there.

Providing access to Variables in the Query Designer

Greetings experts and fellow consultants,
I have a simple question, did a search and did not come up with much of an answer. Currently, we have a system with a role for BI Power Users in order for them to create ad-hoc queries. An issue we found was that these power users were not able to view variables within the query designer:
Under the "Characteristic Restrictions" pane, the variables show up as (Display Not Allowed) under their associated InfoObjects. This is presenting an issue (understandably) and I would like to provide access for these power users to see the variables.
My question is, are there any circumstances where I would want to restrict which variables are shown to the power user? Right now, I plan to allow display access to all variables (via S_RS_COMP+S_RS_COMP1 for those informed on Security). Just trying to brainstorm on whether there might be scenerios where I would want to hide certain variables.
Many thanks to all opinions, as always!

Suresh, in my above post I knew how to enable this. I just wanted to know in regards to security whether there were any exposures. Apparently, I could not find any and the changes went through without issue. The way you enable display of variables in the Query Designer is the following:
S_RS_COMP:
RSINFOAREA '*'
RSINFOCUBE '*'
RSZCOMPTP 'VAR'
ACTVT '03'
S_RS_COMP1:
RSZCOMPTP 'VAR'
RSZCOMPID '*'
RSZOWNER '*'
ACTVT '03'
Hope this helps. Of course, adjust the field values are you see fit but the minimum requirement is that RSZCOMOPTP 'VAR' (Variables) and ACTVT '03' (Display).

Authorization in BEx Query Designer: "read only" for definitions of variables

Hello,
I`m developing a concept of authorizations for key user who should be able to maintain certain
objects in the query designer. For other objects they should have access “read only”.
The users have authorizations to design new queries. They should be able to use existing variables
(SAP Business Content ( 0*) and customer variables (z*). On this point, I have a problem: in the selection window of the query designer there are only buttons to create, to delete and to edit a variable.
The user must have authorizations for changing, although he just wants to look for the definition
of a variable (if he wants to see their basic or global settings before using the variable).
I can´t find a possibility to switch from “edit” to “read only”.
The users should only see and apply variables from others (SAP, collegues), but he mustn´t be able to
change them.
The user needs the following authorization objects: S_RS_COMP , activity =02 (change), also
authorization object S_RS_COMP1. If I give the users only activity 03 (display),
the user get the message: “display not allowed”.
Is there any possibility to give a key user the authorization to display all variables with
their definitions?
Best regards
Ricarda Seyb

Hi raghukan,
This is may be due to the authorization but still you can check the consistency check for these queries using RSRV.

How to create a variable in Bex Query Designer

Hi guys,
I am writing a query for a travel management report using the SAP Standard cube. I would like to restrict the query so it only shows me the last two months excluding the current month. I have checked BI content in RSA1, but I canu2019t find a relevant SAP standard variable that I can use.
Can anyone please tell me if I can create my own? And if so, how I can do this.
Many Thanks
Forhad.

lets say u want to display following picture:
sept$-----august$
City
-chicago123$--
44$
so in Query designer go to Default values section.
Bring in Calendar month
right click calendar month
and hit Restrict
now select variable
use standard sap variable Current Month.
hit okey
now select Variable and hit Red button
Result u restricted current month.
in columns bring in keyfigure $
right click and hit edit
bring in time field calendar month
right click and hit restrict
bring in Current month
right click and select - SET OFFSET FOR VARIABLE
select -1
hit okey
repeat the above process
and this time select offset = -2
this way u restricted current month
but displayed last 2 months for keyfigure values.

Creating Restrictions in BEx query designer for (1-a), where a is variable.

Dear All,
>> Suppose for the variable in the BEx query designer, I've created restriction for 0FISCPER to the variable 0P_PER (as 0P_PER-1) by right clicking 0P_PER3, from that a dialog box appears. In that I've selected 0P_PER3 and then clicked on offset variable and when I set the offset variable, it works for (0P_PER-1.etc, 0P_PER+1,etc..)
But if I want to have (1-0P_PER), then plz tell me how to define this restriction?
Plz explain me the steps to perform (1-0P_PER) restriction in BEx query designer in BW1.
I'm using SAP BI 7.2 gui.
Expecting your reply soon,
with Regards,
Jerald

My requirement is that I want to have " 1-fiscal year"., But this I could not define using offset variables, since using offset we can define "fiscal year +1" or "fiscal year -1".
So there would be some other way to define "1-fiscalyear". So Please help me to define "1-fiscalyear" by giving me the steps.
Thank you,
with Regards,
Jerald
