Re-usable Partner Variable with exclusions in Query Designer

Hi Guys:
Is it possible to create a 'custom' Info-Object e.g. Sold-to-Party with a list of exclusions that can be used in multiple queries. If I create a list of exclusions for Sold-to-Party for 20 queries and then a new Sold-to-Party needs to be excluded, would be nice to have a special "Sold-to-Party" Dimension that I can use in all my Queries instead of editing all queries
Thanks a lot
Aaon

Hi All:
We found a solution to my issue, we will use a customer classification:
001 - Subsidiaries
002 - Ship-to
003 - Production Plants
etc
This way we are able to exclude customers as a 'group' instead of individually
Hope someone could use this idea also

Set/get variables with RSBBS from query 1 to query 2

Hi BW Experts,
I created a sender/receiver assignment from query 1 to query 2 using RSBBS. For two characteristics I assigned the processing method by Variable. Process mode for these variables in the receiver query is by customer exit. But I dont know how to set/get values of these variables.
Is there any function module to do it ??
Please help!!

Can't see 7.x Variable in 3.5 Query Designer

Hi, I created a BEx Variable on one of my characteristics in the 7.x Query Designer and cannot see this same variable in the 3.5 Query Designer.
Does anyone know if this is a known limitation?
Thanks!

Variables are not version specific. Variables created in any version are visible in both 3.5 and 7.x query designers. In 7.x query designer when you create a variable it allows you to select the InfoObject the variable should be associated with. For example if you have an InfoObject that has a reference InfoObject, then a variable created on this InfoObject is not visible on the reference InfoObject. I think variables created on navigational attributes also show different behavior, unless you select the base Infoobject as the reference Infoobject for the variable. With 3.x the InfoObject to which variable is attached behaves differently.
If you try to create a new variable with the same technical name as the one you created in 7x, you will get the message that the variable already exists. Check the reference infoobject for the variable you created in 7.0 and that may help you. You might want to check out the details of the variable in RSZGLOBV table for any clues.
Thanks

Variable not visible in query designer

Hello,
I have 4 variables created for an InfoObject. But for one of my query written on Infoset, under that InfoObject in query designer it only shows me 2 variables.
Any ideas what is causing the other 2 variables not to be visible?
Thanks in advance,
vamsi.

which type of variables have you created?

How to Add a Variable created in New Query Designer

Friends
i am able to create variable on a char and i am unable to attach it to it.
Any specific options that i need to set it so that i get the selection screen.
Regards
Vijay

Hello Vijay,
From where are are trying to use the variable and what type of variable you created?
For characteristic variables,
In BW 3.x front-end, you can right click on the characteristic name and select "restrict". This will pop-up a window. Choose variables tab and select the variable from there.
In NW 2004s front-end, you can do this only from Filter tab page in query designer
not from Rows/columns and free characteristics.
You can do the same procedure in "Global Filter" or "Default values" area and attach the variable.

Sheik Bilal

Query Designer - Variables with exclusion: is it possible?

could be possible to create in BEx a Variable that exclude a Manual entry Value?
thank you
Massimiliano
Edited by: Massimiliano Indrio on Mar 11, 2010 11:32 AM

Hi Massimiliano,
You can code it in the Customer Exit - I_STEP =2.
Where you can read the value entered by the user , and in the assign the sign as :l_s_range-sign = 'E'. which will exclude the values from selecetion.
Hope this helps,

Customer exit variable with exclusion

Hello all, anyone know why a customer exit variable cannot exclude values ?
I've tried with multiple, single and interval without success (it give me a generic error in the customer exit for my variable).
Only the "selection option" mode seems to be enabled to exclude values (also in debug mode with rsrt transaction).
Unfortunately, I cannot use selection option (because this exclusion is an integration of pre-existence selection on a complex structure).
We have SAP BW 3.1C, with SP16. I've looked for sap notes but nothing about this problem (may be a limit).

Now I post my code. The variable is a "Multiple Single Values", optional, not "Ready for Input".
This is my code.
DATA: L_S_RANGE TYPE RSR_S_RANGESID.
If I_STEP = 2.
 CASE I_VNAM.
 WHEN 'ZXXXXX'.
 clear l_s_range.
 l_s_range-sign = 'E'.
 l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
 l_s_range-low = 'xxxxxxx'.
 append l_s_range to e_t_range.
 ENDCASE.
ENDIF.
The query raise an error (generic error on customer exit).
I've debugged the code. Error has raised from plausibility_check on RRS_VAR_VALUES_EXIT_AFTER. The following is the code that raise the error.
 CASE i_vparsel.
 WHEN rro04_c_vparsel-param
 OR rro04_c_vparsel-multiple
 OR rro04_c_vparsel-table.
 IF <l_s_range>-sign <> rs_c_range_sign-including
 OR <l_s_range>-opt <> rs_c_range_opt-equal.
 PERFORM raise USING rs_c_false g_c_ue_invalid_range
 i_vnam space space space.
 ENDIF.
From this code, it seems that with multiple selection we only have sign including and option equal.
What do you think about ?

Performing ranking calculations with the BEx Query Designer - ideas?

I have a scenario where I have a key figure with raw values. In the column beside this I want to rank the key figures by their raw values.
Something like this:
Amount      Rank
   0.11           2
   0.05           3
   0.22           1
   0.03           4
I can do this no problem using the "Calculate Single Values as:" Ranked List.
For subsequent calculations I need to perform mathematical operations on the RANK column.    For example say I want to make a 3rd column where I divide the rank by 2:
Amount      Rank     Rank by 2
   0.11           2             1
   0.05           3            1.5
   0.22           1            0.5
   0.03           4             2
I cannot figure out how to do this as SAP does not really STORE the values of the rank column for my next calculation. The "Rank by 2" column actually shows this:
Rank by 2
    0.065
    0.0025
     0.11
    0.015
which is dividing the original amount by 2 and not the actual RANK value.
Anyone have some suggestions on what I can do?

I know what you are talking about, it will always return 1 or zero which is true or false, I don't think you can do anything much to this. Since, the value of Ranked is getting calculated at runtime.
thanks.

BW 3.5 - Issue with formula variable with replacement path

Dear experts,
I'm facing an issue with formula variable with replacement path.
Just to clarify, I know replacement paths is raising a lot of questions but I've been using this functionnality extensively in the past, both in 7.0 and 3.5, so I'm not looking for basic information about how to use it.
I'm trying to setup a simple report that would show total values per plant of Purchase Order < 100
To do so I've setup a calculated key figure as follow:
VAR1 * ("PO value" < 100 ) * "PO value"
VAR1 is a formula variable with replacement path on 'purchase order' and value attribute 'constant =1'.
(The report has to show values summarized by plant but should not show the detail PO by PO, so I'm not looking at a solution based on condition)
The report as characteristic "plant" in rows and my CKF in columns.
Now let's take an example. I have 3 POs in Plant 1:
PO1 -> 150
PO2 -> 90
PO3 -> 80
Because of the variable with replacement path, the result in my query should be:
plant1 = 170 (even though characteristic "purchase order" is not in my rows, system should evaluate PO one by one and return values only for those two that are below 100).
But the result coming is 320, which is wrong.
I've done the same report on many other 3.5 systems and it worked perfectly, and I am not able to get proper support from SAP OSS who keep saying that this functionnality is not ready in 3.5 (although I've provided screenshot of this working on another 3.5 system!!! how frustrating...)
They have also pointed to problems of Before and After aggregation but that has absolutely no impact. Once again, the scenario is working perfectly on other 3.5 systems with the same query design, so i'm sure it has nothing to do with Query Designer options.
Would anyone have ever come to an equivalenet problem? I'm wondering whether the DB itself could not play a role in the variable with ref characteristic 'constant =1' ...
Any though is welcome!
thanks

Hi,
The text variable is replaced when the exact date is clear for this key figure column according to the restriction.
To achive this, please make sure that either the variable is directly restricted in the key figure selection, or that the date characteristic is in drilldown.

Patricia

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,

Pb with language logon and data display Query designer

Hello,
I do the translations (FR => EN) via RSA1 and SE63 of my variables of my Query for the query designer.
It works I have no technical name that appears in the query designer.
But when I run my query using the query designer, the query is displayed in French while I am logged in English.
I want the query is displayed in english when I'm logged into English.
How can I do?
Thank you pour votre aide.
Edited by: KhalidTaibi on Jul 6, 2010 6:31 PM

Hello,
Per I can understand, you are executing the query from Query Designer.
So, if you are using Query designer 7.0, you are calling the Enterprise Portal.
Even with English on Query Designer, you have to logon as english on the
Portal, as well.
Try to check your Browser configuration.
On Internet Explorer:
Tools
Internet Option
Language
Check if English is configured as the first language.
Also, ensure the query1s objects exists on english version.
Best regards,
Edward John

Setting Multi Variables with Multi SQL Queries: Performance Bottleneck?

Hello ODI Experts,
I have created a Logical & Physical Schema and Source Data Store to pick data from DB Table. Now I am setting variables with simple SELECT Query for setting each variable (in its Refreshing tab>Select Query field).
It gives me a less optimized approach picking one column per query (per variable). Lets say, I have to pick 35 columns from a table and put those in 35 variables...It would mean running 35 queries for fetching one record from the database table.
Doesn't it seem less performance effective (less optimized)..a little scary..or ODI does it with some internal optimized technique?
Any thing better or a different approach that I can do to make variable setting more optimized?
Please guide.
Thanks & Regards,
Ahsan Asghar

Hi GottaLoveSQL,
According to your description, you want to improve the performance of report with subreports. Right?
In Reporting Services, the usage of subreport will impact the report performance, because the report server processes each instance of a subreport as a separate report. So the best way is avoid using subreport by using LookUp , MultiLookUp , LookUpSet, which
will bridge different data sources. In this scenario, we suggest you cache the report with subreport. We can create a cache refresh plan for the report in Report Manager. Please refer to the link below:

Unable to see the variable in Query Designer

Hello Experts,
I am running one report and it is showing me 0calday variable selection screen at run time. I am unable to see this Variable on my Query designer but when I am opening query properties its showing me in this.
Kindly let me know where is this Variable using in my query designer ?
Thanks,
Anoop

Hi Anoop,
The variable is probably being used to restrict a key figure.
Go to the key figures,
Display the technical names
Check the key figures for which the technical name is not appearing even though the key figure is not a formula.
Here you will see one of the key figure being restricted by a variable for 0calday
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Joe
Didnt notice the question is answered :P
