Query replacement path generates error

Hi experts, I need to filter the contents of a query based on another query so I created a replacement path variable. My source query has a number of restrictions but only has my characteristic in rows and a keyfigure in collumns. I created the replacement path value on that characteristic and use it to filter my final query.
When I try to run the final query in BEx analyzer or RSRT I get the following error:
"System error in program SAPLRRK0 and form RRK_LIST_NOTIFY-01- (see long text)"
Any thoughts on what is wrong or should I just post a message to SAP support? By the way, I'm on BI 7.0 SP 17.
Thank you.

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

Charactestics with replacement path getting error (ple solve urgent)

hi frieds,
how are you. i created 2 queries
first query (sender) customer material and quantity
2nd query (receiver) customer sales.
now i went rsbbs and joined 2 queries. i went sender query and gto and rec i got 2 queries.
now i went sender query used varible characterstics with manual entry/default now i went receiver quer charracterstics with replacement path, when i am creting variable i am getting error like i can use variable in default value.
why.
ple let me know solution.
regards
ssk

SSK,
I'm not totally sure I understand what you mean by getting a characteristic with a replacement path.
Yes you need two queries for a RRI - one sender and one receiver.
When you run the sender query you may or may not enter variables into the query to run it. When the query is run you will select a row in your results area, right mouse click, select Got - and then pick the Query you have setup the RRI with from the resulting Context menu.
Lets say you are on a row that contains the characteristics Customer / Material and Date. When you execute the jump, the values of the three characteristics for the row that you were on when you did the jump will automatically be passed to your receiver query, as long as those three characteristics exits in your receive query. They should not have any variables on them in the receive query - the jump passes the values from the sender query to the receiver query.
let me know how you get on.

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

Replacement Path with query---error

Hi
I have one query 'B' which uses replacement path variable(with query A) on 'Customer' infoobject in Global filter area.
So everytime,I execute query 'B',first query 'A' runs and gives some customers list who are active yesterday and today.This active customers list is fed into replacement variable in query 'B' and query 'B' shows its own result.
The problem,we have is,Query 'B' is showing some customers who are not in the list returned by query 'A'.
Any ideas,how I can fix this problem?
Thanks.............

Hi
Thanks for your reply.
Both run on same Multiprovider.
First thing is...this Customer infoobject is placed in Global filter area of Main Query and the infoobject has replacement path variable(with query on it).So the main query's data is limited to whatever customers that are given by replacement path query.
how can Main query show some customers data thats not been given by this replacement path query?
Second thing is...when user reported this error,he showed error in screenshots.When I ran query today,error is gone.Its showing correct.I reported to user and he informed that its happening now and then ....He gave one more example that happened today which is exactly of some type.....Main Query is showing customers that are not given by Replacement path query .....
Any ideas?Thanks

Error when using replacement path variable in exception range

I'm trying produce a check report that produces exception highlighting based on a range determined by the associated characteristic.
eg.
For Check 1, highlight cells in red where the associated key figure is between 1 and 999.
For Check 2, highlight cells in amber where the associated key figure is between -999 and -1.
Now, I know that the lower and upper limit of an exception can be populated by a formula variable. However, when I create a formula variable that uses a replacement path to fetch the limit values from the associated Check and use that in the exception, the query errors when I try to run it:
System Error: 'Variable name ( technical name ) does not exist or is incorrectly used 4 New Exception.'
The error long text suggests that the variable is being used incorrectly, even though it says for Formula variables:
... 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.
In this case, the formula variable does not have units.
Interestingly, but equally unhelpfully, if a regular constant is used instead of a formula variable for the lower limit, but a formula variable is still used for the upper limit, the error message changes to:
System error in program SAPLRRI2 and form FAC_VAR_IN_VREP_INSERT-1-
The query works if the formula variable simply holds a default value, so the problem clearly appears to be with replacement path. If BEx doesn't support replacement path formula variables in exceptions, then aside from the fact that it would be useful if that was stated in the errors, what alternatives, if any, deliver the functionality of exception ranges that change depending on the corresponding characteristic.

I put in the curly brackets so my formula now reads
"Total inquiries for " + {CnAttrCat_1.CnAttrCat_1_Description} + ": " + ToText({@InquiryTypeSubtotal})
Now when I check the formula I get the error message "This field name is not known."

Query Generator Error-Clarification required

Hai Experts,
I wrote a query select * from OPOR where Docnum>'[%0]
This works all fine.
When I replace the OPOR table name with a view name created for the table OPOR, the same statement does not work and returns error incorrect syntax.
Pls explain why does this happen?
Thanks

Dear Gordon,
Thanks for your response. The following is the query I wrote in Query Generator, when I give a literal value, the query worked without any error. When I use dynamic user input string, it returns errror. In this case the database object IR is a view, that I created to facilitate a complicated query.
I need that, user should be able to input his criteria value. Please help me to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.

Error while creating a Characteristic Variable with Replacement Path

Hi all,
    I am trying to create the Characteristic Variable ZVLOWDT (Low Date') with Replacement Path on characteristic ZSTARTDT (Start Date) and it gives the error 'Source to replace 'Low Date' is not defined.
   I have created a User Entry Variable VAR_DATE (Start Date) with interval like '01/01/2009 - 01/15/2009' and Customer Exit variable ZVCPDAY (does some calculation based on the input of VAR_DATE) on the same ZSTARTDT characteristic. I want to get the 01/01/2009 (lower range date of the selection) into this Characteristic Variable ZVLOWDT. We are in BI 7.0 and the following are it's properties:
General Tab:
Description: Low Date
Technical Name: ZVLOWDT
Type of Variable: Characteristic Value
Processing by: Replacement Path
Reference Characteristic: ZSTARTDT Start Date
Details Tab:
Variable Represents : Single value
Variable is: Mandatory
Variable is Ready for Input : unchecked
Replacement Path Tab: Replacement Rule
Replace Variable with : Variable
Variable : VAR_DATE
Replace with : KEY
Why I am getting this error, PLEASE ?
Thanks,
Venkat.

Hi Khaja,
   We could derive a Variable value from another Variable with out Customer Exit. There is a white paper.
First have the User Entry Variable (ZV_X) and it accepts the date range like '01/01/2009 - 01/31/2009'. Next create the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path for which source variable will be ZV_X and we could get the 'FROM Date' (01/01/2009) from the selection (ZV_X) into it (ZV_Y).
While creating the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path, I didn't find my newly created ZV_X variable in the list of available variables under 'Variable' header in 'Replacement Path' tab and it is causing the error 'Source to replace variable ZV_Y is not defined'. How could I create the Characteristic variable of Replacement Path, PLEASE ?
Thanks,
Venkat.

Averages in a query using a variable with Replacement Path: Replacement wit

I have two queries. Query1 has a handful of characteristics, one of which is used in a formula where I used replacement path in order to be able to use it in some calculated key figures. I also have a couple of key figures that are not calculated and they are averages.
The second query has a characteristic value variable that is replaced with the first query. This replacement value variable is placed into the filter section and the characteristic itself is placed in the rows section. I am bringing in the same calculated key figures that were in my first query as well as the normal key figures that are averages.
The issue I am having is the regular key figures that I am bringing in are coming in summed up instead of as averages. Is it possible to bring the normal key figures in Query1 as averages into Query2?
There is more information in the thread below if you need more background.
[Replacement Path and Aggregation;
PS - I am using 7.0.

Hi Satyakam,
In the text variable properties make sure that in the replacment path you have chosen "Text" to appear date as per user setting . Other wise as in your case it must be set to "Key" which always shows in the format YYYYMMDD.
Hope that helps.

Replacement Path variable with query

Hi all,
I have a replacement path variable in a query that use the result from other query (a pre-query), both of them use the same variables, exactly the same, although the query ask me for the values of the variables twice (for the query and for the pre-query), is possible that the query ask me for the variables only one time (re-use the same values for both queries)?
Thanks,
Javier

If possible use only the variable with replacement path on the query. Since the Pre-query has all the same variables as the main query, the user would enter all the required input on the pre-query one time. The result of the pre--query feeds the main query. If the main query has no other selection variables except for the replacement path, the selection screen will not pop up again.
Thanks
Vineet

Regarding Characteristics variable with Replacement path error

Hi Masters
I have created one replacement path variable on characteristics for 0material for first query. This query contains the details of material number only(50 values are available). My second query contains material numbers and material price are there (53 values). When I executed my query, im getting only material number of second query only(50 values are displayed as output, I hope datas are retrived which is common on both query for material number, Please confirm my this). I couldn't get second query's rest of fields like material price of material number. I don't know, what is wrong...?
Could u please help me
Thanks in advance
Raja.S

Hi
I don't think so, i have to create the characteristic value for material price.
Not only I think, we can't create characteristic value for material price.
If it is possible, Please give step by step solution
Thanks in advance

Passing Blanks instead of ' # ' in Replacement Path query.

Hi Experts,
I have a main query which gets its cost center values from another query with replacement path variable.
The variable should return BLANK to the main query inorder to display all costcenters. But blank is interpreted as '#' and the main query returns No application data found as it treats blank as '# /Not Assigned' instead.
How to achieve this.
Please suggest if anyone has done this before. This is we a Web report Not Excel.
Thanks
Sarah

Thanks Arun, I understood the logic now for blanks.
But,
1) How to pass 'ALL' for the filter values.As the sub query returns no application data found instead of all cost centers. This is because in the data in ODS is
<b>UserID CostCenter</b>
A
B        11234
C        12345
D
(Blank- representing all costcenters)
2) Another option was thinkin to have the client fill in the ztable based on which the generic Datasource is made with costcenter values for each user instead will that help.
Appriciate your help.
Thanks
Sarah

Query Variable - Replacement Path

Hi all,
I would need to fill a query variable (based on calendar week characteristic) with specific list of values. I need all calendar weeks that are present in infocube, but only if key-figure > 0. So I've created a query with cal. weeks in rows and with suppressed zero rows. Output values from query contains exactly what I need.
Than I created a variable (replacement path) with reference to mentioned query. But it seems to me that the variable does not contain all values displayed in the query, but only filtered values (if I use some restriction of cal. week).
Is it possible to achieve this using replacement path at all?
If not I would appreciate any idea or experiences how to accomplish this requirement.
Many thanks,
regards,
Pavel

Hi Pavel, I didn't get your requirement 100% . Still, I would like to tell How Replacement path works.
First of all for the Source query you have given condition to restict the output of the query on particular keyfigure value > 0 ...... Right.
Now on second query, you have created the Characteristic variable with Replacement path....here some important things to look at.
while creating the variable, select Processing Type as REPLACEMENT PATH, then in the "Replacement path" Tab, give Replaced variable with.. "Query" ...and at bottom, For QUERY give the query name.
If u want RRI facility from Source Query to Target Query, then u give RRI Connection in T-Code : RSBBS....
...and now when u execute the Second Query, First the first Query will be executed and those filtered values > 0 will be passed to the Second Query's variable input...then the second query will be executed...
But, in your case check once again all settings in Variable in Second Query..and Conditions block in First Query..
It should definitely work...

Crystal Report using BW Query that contains replacement path (control query

I have a Crystal report built on a BW query. The BW query contains a replacement path on a characteristic (as a control query). The control query has additional variables that the main query is not using. The crystal report is not recognizing any of the variables that the control query includes. How do I get the crystal report to recognize the control query variables?

Query Designer - Variables - Replacement Path

I need a help.
In one query I need to select some data from the current Period until yesterday.
In another query I need to select the same data, but from the current Month until yesterday.
I created 2 restricted key figures:
SEL_PERIOD restricts 0FISCPER by the variable 0FPER, wich is an exit SAP for current Period.
SEL_MONTH restricts OCALMONTH by the variable 0CMONTH, wich is an exit SAP for current Month.
Now in both RKFs I want to restrict 0CALDAY from the beginning of the Period or Month until yesterday.
I found this variable 0DAT, wich is an exit SAP for current day.
I'm trying to create an interval variable, type replacement path, with From Value not filled and To Value filled with 0DAT - 1.
But it doesn't work, Query Designer points that 0DAT is not an allowed source for the target variable.
And the documents that I searched state that "the target variable must represent a single value" and "the source variable must be input-ready".
Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can restrict 0CALDAY, for this specification ???
Thanks in advance.
César Menezes
Edited by: César Menezes on Jun 25, 2011 11:51 PM
I forgot an important point:
Sometimes I need current Period or Month, in other cases I need the same Period or Month from last Fiscal Year or Calendar Year.
No problem with 0FISCPER and 0CALMONTH, I can off-set the variables by -12.
But I would like a help on how to do it with 0CALDAY.
Example: today is 25.06.2011. In some cases I need to restrict until 24.06.2011, in other cases I need to restrict until 24.06.2010.

Hi Ceaser,
This is a generic explanation to your scenario. Please make some changes as per your requirement. Just to give you some idea......................
We need to manipulate u201CKey Dateu201D values to achieve required analytics.
Step 1: As a first step, create a variable on u201CSales Dateu201D (or whichever date is used for Sales Date) field (ZPDATE) with user input. It was meant to capture u201CKey Dateu201D through user entry.
Step 2: Create a restricted key figure on Sales & restrict it on u201CKey Dateu201D value to get first analytics need i.e. u201CSales on Dayu201D.
Step 3:Next step was to manipulate the value of u201CKey Dateu201D on which I could restrict u201CSalesu201D (Key Figure) again and again to get other values.
Step 4: Create a new variable (e.g. ZPUTMNTH) and assigned it to be filled up by Customer Exit. (For simplicity purposes only u201CMonth to Dateu201D value is explained below. Same procedure can be repeated to fulfill other needs. Though in code section, ABAP code is available for almost all the variables)
Create Variable

How do I...Mimic Replacement Path with Query using Customer Variable Exits?

Hello SDN:
We are on BW 3.5 SP16.
We are currently using a replacement path Query(RP) with variables
to populate a variable in another Query(T).
The problem we are having is with performance.
The entry of variables in replacement path Query(RP) is optional (This is necessary there cannot be required values)
When results from Replacement Path Query are small performance is fine. (e.g. 10 seconds)
When results from Replacement path query are large performance suffers. (e.g. 1+ minutes)
Users are free to leave the replacement path variables empty resulting in a large set of data to be replaced. This is the worst performance case.
We would like to discover a way to conditionally execute the replacement path query. That is if users do not enter values for the replacement Query(RP) variables do not execute the replacement path query(RP).
Does anyone know if this is possible within reason and in customer exit space?
We have reviewed the situation from all angles and the requirement for the replacement path FUNCTIONALITY and the freedom for the user to leave variable values blank remains.
I've been searching and reading SDN and SAP notes for about a week and do not find threads which address this situation.
We are also exploring Customer variable exits to mimic replacement path functionality
(different topic subject="How do I...Mimic Replacement Path with Query using Customer Variable Exits?")
Any help will be appreciated
Many thanks
David Schuh

My appologies-I posted this message with the wrong subject. I will repost it with appropriate subject.
