Query Drilldown does not Invoke Customer Exit Variables

We have a problem with performing a drilldown in a BEx Analyzer reprot, basically the client is a Trading company and they have inter company trading. We are using the Profit Centre as one of thre u201CFree Characteristicsu201D in the query and hence we are able to drilldown on a Characterictc by Profit Centre.
We are using a couple of BEx query variables (Customer Exit variables) to determine the inter-area and extrenal area profit centres and these profit centres will be different based on the level of Hieracry node selected when the query is initially executed. For example if we assume a hierarchy with has one root node, 3 children under the root node and 2 grand-children under each of the 3 child nodes, now if we are at the root Node of the Hierarchy then every profit centre is internal and there are no external profit centres, similarly if we are at the 2nd node (i.e. one of the child nodes) then everything under that node is internal and everything in the other 2 child nodes is external and so on.
This is where the issue starts for us, since on the report if we select the the node we want to see the results for at the query rumtime (i.e. the Customer Exit Variables are invoked at I_STEP=2 and they select the other nodes of the hierarcy if any and group them into either external or internal) then the results are correct. Now if we were to drilldown, i.e. We selected the root node and we drilldown on to see for example of the child nodes then the result are not correct, this becomes apparent when we drilldown further to the grand-child nodes.
One logical explaination is that when we are doing the drilldowns the customer exit variables are not being invoked in the BEx analyzer report and hence they are not grouping the sums for the internal and external profit centres relevent to node selected in the Drill down.
Does anyone have any suggestions regarding how to make this query work properly or show the correct results in BEx Analyzer (ideally), I have considered the Workbooks option but the client does not want Workbooks.
Please let me know if there is a program etc we can customise to ensure that the Customer Exit variables logic is used when the user does a drilldown in the query or any other way to make it work.
Many Thanks
Jack

Hi
Just to aid anyone who is thinking what to do in a similar situation, I am aware that RRI or using workbooks are a couple of good alternatives (just that these are currently not being considered by the client, hence I am asking here).. Also, if someone has Business Objects WEBI then we can satisfy the requirement by creating a new Webi Report for each of the nodes and displaying it (similar to Workbooks but much nicer and faster) or we can get the Webi to execute the variables again during the drilldown... Unfortunately the client is not using Webi either... So the solution has to be in BEx Analyzer / Query designer based...
If you have any thoughts on how I might be able to do what I want to do then please feel free, I am quite confident that I am not the 1st person to come accross this issue and someone somewhere has solved this issue.
Thanks

Query - Replacement Path for a Customer Exit Variable

Hi
New to the field and the board. Any and All help is greatly appreciated.
I have created a query which runs based on a date selection. The query have few customer exit variables whose values are set in ABAP. All Key Figures in the query are brought depending on the date ranges that each of the CE returns. Ex - one column is sales for first 10 days, 2nd for second 10 days, 3rd for first quarter, 4th for 2nd quarter and such. There are about 20 - 25 columns with KF in the query and all are Customer Exit date driven.
The challenge:- Each column heading should have the name of the month. I tried using Replacement Path. But it works when the selection is based on a constant value but not on value based on variable which is a customer exit. Ex - If I say restrict Cal/Month for July 2013, the replacement path for the Col Heading works fine. But if I say restrict Cal/Month for "ZVAR_SecondQtr_First_Month" the replacement path doesn't work.
Help Please
Thanks
Vidya

In the text variable that you are using , i guess you have a replacement path. In this instead of using your characteristic for specifying how the value has to replace, use the variable option and give the variable name there

Customer-Exit variable on 0TCAIPROV

Hello,
we're currently working on the migration of 3.x reporting authorizations into the new analysis authorizations.
Because of the existing requirements we have to have different analysis authorizations on different infoproviders and we want to use infoobject 0TCAIPROV to do this.
But since we have a lot of infoproviders we don't want to maintain the relevant infoproviders in each analysis authorization and because we cannot use infoareas to assign the infoproviders we have created a customer-exit variable for 0TCAIPROV that produces the list of relevant inforpoviders.
So far, so good. But when running queries with this authorization we always the EYE001: No authorization for InfoProvider. So we debugged the query and saw that the customer-exit is being processed. But it seems that the infoprovider check does not support customer-exit variables.
Does anybody have experience with this? Has anybody done this?
Regards,
Jens

Customer Exit variable of Query not working in View

Hi,
I have a customer exit variable in my query to calculate the last 6 month period on Calendar month. I have used 0CMONTH for the same and then using offset of 6 on its value range to get it.
Now, I have many views based on this query, which should ideally be having the same filter condition for the calendar month, but it is not happening. Although, it is working fine for the query! The views do not seem to be catching the selection correct.

Hi there,
As far as I Know, yes they exist. The only difference here, is that you build a query with a selection screen, and you execute the query with some selection parameters, and therefore all customer exit variables, offsets, etc, will be read and changed at the runtime execution of the query, and you can rearrange your query visualization drilling down free char., making filters, etc. and storing that visualization in a view.
If you save your view and execute it afterwards, you'll get the same selection parameters to input, the same offsets, etc, that you have with the query, but with a visualization stored by you.
So that should have been working.
Diogo.

Customer Exit variable and Filter routine in DTP does not works?

Hello Experts,
Does anyone know what might be the possible reason - A customer exit variable working fine on the OLAP side does not work in a DTP??
I have also tried to use the Filter routine, which does not give me the right results..I am trying to fetch a Fiscalyear period maintained in an infoObject as follows in my Filter routine..
ata: sel_period like /BIC/PZPARAM-/BIC/ZPARAMVAL.
DATA: zperiod type /BI0/OIFISCPER.
          SELECT SINGLE /BIC/ZPARAMVAL INTO sel_period
          FROM /BIC/PZPARAM
          WHERE /BIC/ZPARAM = 'ZPCA'
          AND objvers = 'A'.
          zperiod = sel_period.
data: l_idx like sy-tabix.
          read table l_t_range with key
               fieldname = 'FISCPER'.
          l_idx = sy-tabix.
          l_t_range-iobjnm = '0FISCPER'.
          l_t_range-fieldname = 'FISCPER'.
          l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
          l_t_range-option = 'EQ'.
          l_t_range-low = zperiod.
          if l_idx <> 0.
            modify l_t_range index l_idx.
          else.
            append l_t_range.
          endif.
          p_subrc = 0.
Please let me know if I am making any mistakes above..
Kind Regards,
Kadriks

Hi
1. CLEAR l_t_range-high. is missing in your code befor assigning values to l_t_range.
2. use simple append l_t_range after the l_t_range asisgnments. remove below code :
if l_idx 0.
modify l_t_range index l_idx.
else.
append l_t_range.
endif.
p_subrc = 0.
3. I dont think you need to assign infoobject.
4. Clear sel_period and zperiod is also missing
Hence your code should be :
data: l_idx like sy-tabix.
read table l_t_range with key
fieldname = 'FISCPER'.
CLEAR l_t_range-high.
l_idx = sy-tabix.
l_t_range-fieldname = 'FISCPER'.
l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
l_t_range-option = 'EQ'.
l_t_range-low = zperiod.
append l_t_range .

Query: Customer Exit variable not getting populated

Hello Experts, I created a Customer Exit variable (ZPREV_MTH_OPS) in the query designer (7.0). I also put the necessary code in the function module "Z_BWFI_QUERY_CELL_MANIPULTN", but the query variable is not getting populated when I run the query using RSRT.

     break-point.
      if i_step = 2.

Default value of BeX customer Exit variable not Displayed in WeBI??

Hello Experts,
We are stuck with a problem where WeBI report is created on top of BeX query and we are not able to see the default value of Bex Customer exit variable in WeBI run. Here is the complete scenario:
1. One restricted KF is created in BeX, restricted with Customer exit variable on net Due date. And this variable is mandatory, ready for input, and Default value in calculated is user exit as current Week's Monday.
2. So, by default KF data should be restricted to Monday of current week, if user does not change this value.
3. Now, WeBI report is created on top of this Bex query, and all is working fine, i.e. we are getting variable as Prompt in WeBI, but Default value is not shown while Running the Webi Report.
So, need your inputs on the same, if default values from BeX in WeBI is supported or not? If yes, why this is happening, and how to resolve it?
Please notice, the restrcition is in KF only, it is not a separate restrcition on Net Due date in Filter area or in Defualt area of BeX
and we are on SAP BW 7.1 and BOXI 3.1 SP4.
Regards,
Vipul

Hi,
See 1285993 - Support of Customer Exit Variables from BEx query into WebIntelligence via OLAP universe
WebI will prompt when executed, but the default values calculated by the user exit - do not appear.
Note: If the BEx variable has property 'ready for input' set / enabled, then its WebI prompt shows ok, but no default value appears.
Cause
This behaviour expected 'by design' (in the context of the product's current limitations) as explained in the online guide below:
Please refer to Chapter 7, page 44, document link here: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf
Characteristic variable > processing type > Customer Exit is "Supported, without user entry"
--> This should be understood as meaning "User will not be shown a prompt"

WAD Variable screen not displaying when using a customer exit variable

Hello,
I have a query which has 3 variables, one of which is of type customer exit and gets populated with a default value.
When I run this query on the web from within BEX it works fine, however when I run it within any BI7 web template the variable screen does not pop up. Of course if I remove or change the offending customer exit variable the variable screen pops up.
I have switched the display variable check-box to on, and it still doesn't work.
Is this a 'feature' of BI7?
Many thanks
Sarah

Fixed it myself by tweaking the URL....
Added &VARIABLE_SCREEN=X to the end of the url and the variable screen now pops up. Its not an ideal solution but it works.
Anyone have any better ideas?

Crystal Reports with BEx Query using Custom Exit Variable

Hi,
We have BW BEx Query using Customer User Exit variable to derive the Fiscal Week for Last Year (called it VAR2) based on another user input variable Current Fiscal Week (called it VAR1).
VAR2 is derived from VAR1 in CMOD via some codings and thus it DOES NOT have the "Variable is Ready for Input" flag ticked in the BEx. VAR1 is user input variable, so it has "Variable is Ready for Input" flag ticked in the BEx.
When we create a Crystal Reports with the BEx Query using variable VAR2, and when we run it we got an error message saying "Failed to execute query; '[]<java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: No Selection State Support!ZP_MI_LYPUBWEEK>'. Redesign your query or contact the data source maintainer to solve the problem". (note: ZP_MI_LYPUBWEEK is VAR2 in this case).
Could anyone please assist? Surely, CR supports BEx customer user exit variables like the above, right?. I also refer to the forum below as it seems to have a similar issue (except mine with an error message), but it does not provide a solution in it.

Custome Exit Variable Not prepopulating Parameter of CRE Report

Hi
I am using a customer exit varibale to pre populate a parameter in a Bex query I have created. When I run the bex query the customer exit variable populates the parameter just as it is supposed to. However when I use the bex query in Crystal Reports for enterprise the customer exit variable does not pre populate the parameter. Is there something I need to do to make sure that CRE recognises the customer exit variable or does CRE not recognises them? If it doesn't recognise them is it possible to create CRE level Customer Exit Variable?
Many Thanks in advance
Neil

Hi Alun
Thanks but I'm in BW so Stored procedures are not really an option on this one. I suppose my primary question is, is there a reason that Customer Exit Variable is not working as it is creating a lot of difficulties by not populating the parameters in the same way it does in the bex query I am using to develop my Crystal report.
Thanks
Neil

Customer Exit Variable not working in BO-Webi Report

Hi All,
I have created a universe based on Bex Query.
Bex query consists of a customer exit variable on Calendar year/month where in it will populate current calendar year month by default while executing the query. It works fine while executing in SAP BI Bex Analyser.
I have created a universe based on the query. For Calender year/Month i got L00, L01, LOV values in universe.
Based on the universe I have created a Webi report. I did not specify calendar year/month as query filters. While directly executing the Webi report, I get the calendar year/month variable screen. But the value for it not populated based on customer Exit code written in BI.
What has to be done to get the customer exit values in variable screen.
Thanks for your understanding.
-- Selva

Since you have customer exit variable in your bex query, it will be like a global filter in your universe.
Execute the webi report and check whether you are getting only current month data.

Problem with customer exit variable in BeX Query

Hi All,
We have created a customer exit variable in a query and populated with few patterns in customer exit.
My query has to bring all the records where the address line is containg the patterns passed through customer exit. Here the query is not working as expected.
It is bringing the values where the address line is exactly same as the pattern and not bringing the records where the pattern is part of the address line.
For example: Pattern passed in customer exit = 'HOSPITAL'
The record where address line = 'HOSPITAL' is shown in the rpeort, where the record with address line = 'HOSPITAL ROAD' is not shown in the report.
I would appreciate your help on this.

RSCRM: Query date with customer exit variable

Hi All,
Is there any way to run the RSCRM transaction with a query with a customer exit variable for a date characteristic?
The issue is that the query ran ok but the variable is not being updated when the RSCRM query is running with a background job or a process chain.
Thanks in advance
EV

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.

Query Performance - Customer Exit Variable

Hi All,
In the report I am using a customer exit variable on FiscalYear Period. When the user inputs a FiscalYear Period it gets the data for the previous 52 weeks. For ex. If the user inputs 052.2008, then it get the data from 001.2008 - 052.2008 (for 52 weeks).
Here the report takes a significant time to run. I do understand from the high data volume perspective. Here I could not depend much on the aggregates, as the input selection is dynamic.
Are there any ways to improve the performance of the query. If aggregates is a solution, then on what basis should I build the same.
Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
You can use OLAP Cache....this will help you improve the performance of the query.
The OLAP cache is architected to store query result sets, and to give all users on an application server access to those result sets. If a user executes a query, the result set for that queryu2019s request can be stored in the OLAP cache. If that same query (or a derivative) is then executed by another user, the subsequent query request can be filled by accessing the result set already stored in the OLAP cache. In most cases, a query request filled from the OLAP cache is significantly faster than queries that receive their result set from database access.
Go to RSRT >> give the query name >> Click on Execute and Debug >> there uncheck the box " Do not use Cache".then execute....
Again execute the query without Cache........just check if it makes any difference.......
Thanks and Regards,
Debjani..

Customer Exit Variable and Condition in a Query (Sequence of Execution)

Hi,
For a query i defined a Customer exit variable and a condition....
Which will first execute...wether it is a Variable and then Condition or vise versa
Is there any way we can control sequence of execution
My requirment is first to execute the condition and the variable how can i control this
Thanks

Hi
In your customer exit you will be having a field by name I_STEP which will help you to handle the time of execution of the variable.
