Blog on xpath:
Tips & Tricks when Printing to PDF in SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI
I have found it is easiest to write a javascript function that utilizes an xpath query that brings in the values I want, and then I can manipulate, format or whatever and then use a simple document.write to return it to the screen vs. the replacement example in the Blog above...and the SAP Help link below:

Search query variable not working

Apologies for this essay but I felt it may be best if I include all the details in order to describe the issue I'm experiencing.
I have two site collections in one web app called Library and Store respectively. The library site collection has a content type called Book which is made available to the Store site collection through the content type syndication. The Book content type
has a site column in it called Book Author which is of managed metadata type (the term set has a few terms representing authors). The parent content type of the Book is the out of the box Article Page and the Store site collection has custom page layout associated
with the Book content type.
I then add a page and switch its page layout to my custom layout based on the Book content type and on the page, I put a content search web part. I have a managed property called BookAuthor which is mapped to the crawled property pointing at the Book Author
field and this is where things start to go awry. The query I use in the content search web part looks something like this:
ContentType:Book BookAuthor:{Page.Book Author}
According to the documentation of the query variables and FQL (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj683123(v=office.15).aspx), this should return items that are of the Book content type where the BookAuthor is the value of the Book Author field on
the current page that the content search web part resides on. In this case, my query returns no results. In order to test if it actually works, I manually typed in the value of the author for the BookAuthor property so it looked something like this:
ContentType:Book BookAuthor:John Doe
The second query returned the results I expected, but the first one didn't. I've come across a similar problem to this and previously, I found out that SharePoint had duplicated the Book Author field in the content type such that one was named "Book
Author" and the type showing was TaxonomyFIeldTypeMulti while the other one was named "Book Author_0" and the type showing was Note. I used the following powershell script to determine the names of the fields in the content type:
$site = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite("http://www.yousite.com/")
$web = $site.OpenWeb()
$list = $web.Lists["YourList"]
$list.Fields | Format-Table Title, InternalName, TypeAsString
Previously when I encountered this problem, I simply tried both fields and one would always work. For example, I would try BookAuthor:{Book Author} and BookAuthor{Book Author_0} and one of them would work. In this case, I've tried both and none of them seem
to yield any results in my query. I noticed that I always seem to get duplicated fields only when I'm using columns of managed metadata type. I know my managed properties work because I can specify manual values and that yields the results I expect, but as
soon as I try to use the query variable from the page fields, it doesn't work. Strangely enough, I can use the Title or any other non-managed metadata fields of the page in my query variable (e.g. {Page.Title}) and I can get results that way. I've done index
resets and full crawls but nothing seems to fix this. Any help or insight on this would be greatly appreciated as it is driving me nuts!

Hi,
Please refer to the following post:
Infoobject F4 help in the Query takes lot of time and hangs
F4 Process takes a long time to show the values
There are several SAP notes on performance improvement for F4 help as mentioned in the first post. You may refer to the SAP notes as well.
Hope it helps,

Variable screen in WAD

i have couple of questions on variable screen while working with Web Application Designer
1) i am using variables with multiple single entries in my query and when the variable screen in WAD is displayed i have something called insert row icon for each of the variable i used. i do not want to display this icon. is it possible. when i have a single mandatory variable i don't see this icon
2) when i select a value for one of my variable, say for plant. then i only want the key to be displayed. whereas when i choose a particular plant i can see the key in the variable box and the text which describes the plant adjacent to the variable box. is it possible to display only key.
3) i have something like this
Plant Description
NJ New Jersey (description is seen adjacent to the key in the variable box)
now when i want to empty the screen and run the query for all plants i can delete the key but my description is still seen.
any idea
thanks

thanks for your responses. i have another problem which is similar to the above ones
i have variables with multiple single values as optional. now in the variable screen if i choose to enter more than one value, lets say 2 values for the plant then i have two values and its text adjacent to the selection box.
since i am using optional variable and if the user wants to run the report for all the plants then he comes back to the variable screen and has to empty the selection box. the problem is we can empty the selection box but we are not able to remove the text description adjacent to the selection box which the user says its confusing.
is there any way we can get rid of it. may be when we refresh the variable screen can we write a code which simply displays the empty variable screen.
any ideas gurus
thanks

Text lines in the BW query variables screen

Hi gurus.
The bw users ask me to display some text lines in the BW query variables prompt.
The text lines are saved in a custom table.
The only idea that I've got is to use customer exit text variables and fill them in CMOD when I_step = 1.
I don't like this solution (I should have more the 10 text lines and so I have to mantain more than 10 Text variables) but I can't find any other solution.
Any new idea or solution?
Is there in Bex enviroment a functionality (that I don't know) for doing somenthing like this ?
Thanks fo any help.
S.

Hi,
to resolve it you should create all the prompts in the BW query. You are using a query with 2 parameters and then a dynamic list of values. the dynamic list of values can only work after you entered the other values.

How to Read Variable Values in WAD 7.0 Using JavaScript

I found a how to: How to Read Variable Values in WAD 7.0 Using JavaScript on SDN.
I get a Javascript error:
bics.getElementsByTagName is not a function
vars = bics.getElementsByTagName("VARIABLES")[0]; // <VARIABLES>
Thats my script:
function currency()
var varnm = "SFS_CP_CURR"; // Name of the variable to be read
root = document.childNodes[0]; // <HTML>
body = root.getElementsByTagName("BODY")[0]; // <BODY>
xml = body.getElementsByTagName("XML")[0]; // <XML>
bics = xml.childNodes[0]; // <BICS_VIEW>
vars = bics.getElementsByTagName("VARIABLES")[0]; // <VARIABLES>
varl = vars.getElementsByTagName("VARIABLE"); // gives no. of variable in DP
for ( i = 0; i <= varl.length; i++ ) // Loop one by one
vari = vars.getElementsByTagName("VARIABLE")<i>;
varnam = vari.attributes[0].text; // get variable name
mem = vari.getElementsByTagName("MEMBER")[0];
varval = mem.attributes.getNamedItem("name").value; // read variable value
if (varnam == varnm) //check varname in loop needs to be read
if (varval == "ZMON") // check for value1 and fire command1
SFS_CP_M();
if (varval == "ZKON") // check for value2 and fire command2
SFS_CP_K();
break;
Where's the mistake?

I'm afraid I haven't made my question understood clearly.
What I am looking for is a method to get the value of variable inside excel (e.g. put it into a cell / range of a worksheet, so that we can reference it and use it as an input for planning function execution).
Please advice.
Thanks in advance,

BW Authorizations - Query variable with processing mode as "customer exit"

Hi,
Iam new to BW authorizations and have not yet worked on customer exit before. I was going through the documentation at various sites but I could not get the end to end description on how the query process( when using a variable for an InfoObject) works in case of customer exit.
Let's assume that I am using a query variable with processing mode as "customer exit" and at the exit I write some code to extract user's authorizations from a z table. if this is the case, then when an end user runs a query,how will the the system know what value needs to be filled in the variable for the requesting user. Are the user details also sent to the code along with the query variable? If so how. If I mis-understood the process then forgive me and let me know the correct process.

Hi!
welcome to SDN!
customer exit variables need programing by user. so if you create a customer exit variable, you got to right a program which extracts values into this variable. we can do what ever we want in program, SAP will not deal anything ´with customer exits.

How to track query variable input in FM

Hi All,
There are a MultiCube1 and a Query1 based on it.
There is Virtual Infoprovider1 based on Query1.
And finaly there is a Query2 based on Virtual Provider1.
How to check inputed variables of Query2 in FM for Virtual Provider1.

Hi,
there is no way to read query variables in the is_protected method, since data slice run time and query run time are separated.
Of course you can do the 'usual' trick by implementing an exit variable, export some variable values to memory and read it in the is_protected method.
But is_overlapping is the correct method to read the used selection (of a query of planning function filter) to do some initializing work. This method is called when a function is processed or a query will be opened. Is_protetecd is called on a record basis, i.e. maybe very often.

Query rule using query variables

Hi All,
I am working on a query rule in SharePoint 2013. I am trying to build a query text using query variables to provide profile based results to the users. The query text which I am using in the query builder is of the following format:
{SearchBoxQuery} CombinedLanguage:{User.PreferredContentLanguage}
but its not taking the user.preferredcontentlanguage value. Has any one worked on similar type of query rules using query variables? Please share your suggestions.
Thanks !!

Hi,
As I understand, you cannot get the user.preferredcontentlanguage value.
1. Make sure you have set the value of query variable {user.preferredcontentlanguage}, it will return -1 if not set.
2. Make sure you search in the right result source.
3. Please check the crawled property mapped to the managed property CombinedLanguage and make sure that there is at least one value indexed by the crawled property equal to the {user.preferredcontentlanguage}.
The article below is about the query variables.

The article below is about the different query variables return different result examples.

BEx: How to change a Query Variable that is not visible in Filters List?

Hello Experts,
Good day, I'm currently editing an old query, I am changing the Query Variables with new ones, but I found one variable that I cannot replace.
Please see the screenshot below, in the Query Properties Window [Variable Sequence Tab (right side of picture)] the Variable that I am trying to replace (Unit) is visible. But when I look for the variable in the "Filter Tab" (left side of picture) under Characteristic Restrictions, it doesn't exist in the list.
How can I find this Variable and replace it with a new one?
Other reports are still using this variable so it will impact the other reports if I simply edit the variable. So I need to replace it with a new variable instead.
Thank you for your time.

Hi,
SInce you are searching for a variable for Unit, look into below screenshot and navigate to the variables.
First click on drop down and select 'Entry for variable' then you will get lisl (after you click on drop down in 'Target Unit' drop down option.
Normally these type of variable called 'Formula Variable' try editing any of the formula and locate the option as shown below,
Hope it helps! don't forget to update the final solution and mark the correct/helpful answers.
Remember it will help others to find the solution and motivate the members to answer your question.

Query variables for 0CALDAY

Hello gurus,
   I´m trying to create a query variable that shows the last calendar day(infoobject 0CALDAY) in the previous year, current year, next year. I´m not finding these variables in Business Content. Does anybody know any variable for this? If I gonna need to create a user exit for this, where should I put the result of the ABAP program?
Thanks,
David.

Hello David!
Yes, you must create user-exit variable for this.
Go to transaction CMOD and find or create project with RSR00001 enhancement ("BI: Enhancements for Global Variables in Reporting"). After that edit ZXRSRU01 include in function EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001.
Add to ZXRSRU01 code for you user-exit variable. For example:
    WHEN 'ZB_DATE_LASTMINUS1'.
      LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO wa_range WHERE vnam = 'ZB_FISCYEAR_M1S'.
      ENDLOOP.
      n4 = wa_range-low.
      n4 = n4 - 1.
      CONCATENATE n4 '1231' into l_s_range-low.
      APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
in example ZB_FISCYEAR_M1S - variable for manual input on 0fiscyear characteristic.
ZB_DATE_LASTMINUS1 - user-exit variable. calculate last day for input year - 1.

WebI Prompts using BEx Query Variables

Hello,
I have the following issues with WebI report selection input paramaters (prompts) that use BW BEx Query variables. Could anyone please assist?
Issue 1:
The WebI report has one mandatory and two optional input paramaters (all paramaters from BW BEx Query). When I execute the report via WebI rich client directly, enter the value for mandatory input parameter and leave blanks for both optional input parameters, the report ran OK and has no issue. However, when I ran it through CMC a strange thing happen: I could not select the value for mandatory input paramater as it requires to have values for both optional input paramaters first (which I wish to have them blank and optional). When I refersh values for the mandatory paramater, it says "List of Values for current prompt requires values for following prompts:...(ie. the two optional parameters).
Anyone has any idea - it seems like it is a CMC issue for the WebI...
Issue 2:
Take the same WebI report above, the issue here is the order sequence of the prompts (ie. the selection input parameters). How can we change/control the sequence of the prompts? Whatever sequence of the varaiables (input paramters) in BW BEx Query, the WebI ignores it. Please advise.
Thanks & Regards,
Andy

I did not see separate thread for issue #1, therefore I'll us this thread.
I am running into similar issue when I get an error message ''List of Values for current prompt requires values for following prompts: <Name of the prompt>".
We are using BO V4, SP2, Patch 10 with SAP BW as DB via BEx queries.
I opened support ticket for this issue since obviousely it's still an issue after applying patch 10.
It's not an issue when 'Rich Internet Application' option is selected to view report in 'Reading' mode (via Launchpad Preferences then Web Inteligence; defautl value for viewing is 'Web').
I have not tried to use Client tools but even if it works with Client tools - it is not a solution for us. Our company does not plan to install client tools on end user computers.
Bigger issue us is that report scheduling invokes Web version (not Rich Internet Application). Therefore we cannot schedule report that is giving us problem described. I tried scheduling report from Launchpad and from CMC and both game me error highlighted.
