Refresh BEx-Query with variant

Dear all,
i have a question about refreshing Queries with variants.
To refresh a BEx-Query (BW3.5) in a Workbook with VBA is no problem.
For example:
Run "SAPBEX.XLA!SAPBEXrefresh", False, myRange
But is there a possibilty to refresh a BEx-Query with a variant (also with VBA)?
My target is to create a VBA-Tool:
1 which user can select a single Query and the available variant.
2 Then push a VBA-Button
3 After the selection no Variable-Screen will pop-up
and the refreshing is completed.
Thanks all

Hi Ashok,
refreshing Queries automatically on Workbook open is standard...
What i need is to refresh a Query with variant (saved variable-values for a query e.g. the name of the variant is "ZMYVARIABLES").
The user should not select an existing variant (ZMYVARIABLES)
manually with Shift+F5 (Get Variant) on the Query-Variable POPUP-Screen.
What i need is a codefragment which implement that all.
Pseudo code:
Sub RefreshQuery(QueryID As String, Variantname As String)
End Sub
Thanks,
Erol

BEx query with variant from ABAP

Hello,
I'm looking for possibility to start BEx query with variant (variant is created with tx RSRT) from ABAP. There are some funktion modules, which start queries (launch excel), for example RSAH_LAUNCH_EXCEL or RSSEM_QUERY_LAUNCH, but they are ending with short dump, when there are variables in the query. Is there any standard FM, which starts the query with variant or accepts parameters?
regards,
Krzysztof

Hi,
the short dump was my fault, I've passed query name instead of genuniid to the RSAH_LAUNCH_EXCEL.
What I'm trying to do is to I'll start BEx query with parameters (I don't want to get selection-screen from the query, I need to fill it from ABAP).
Here is my example, which is not working.
DATA:
lv_query(30) TYPE c,
lv_genuniid TYPE rsrrepdir-genuniid,
ls_var       TYPE rrx_var,
lt_var       TYPE TABLE OF rrx_var.
lv_query = 'YB_MAKLER_DETAIL'.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_GENID_INPUT'
EXPORTING
    input = lv_query
IMPORTING
    output = lv_genuniid.
IF lv_genuniid = ''.
WRITE: / 'There is no Query', lv_query.
ELSE.
ls_var-vnam = 'YS_MKLE'.
ls_var-sign = 'I'.
ls_var-opt = 'EQ'.
ls_var-low = '0000005100'.
APPEND ls_var TO lt_var.
ls_var-vnam = 'YS_VTGJ'.
ls_var-sign = 'I'.
ls_var-opt = 'EQ'.
ls_var-low = '1999'.
APPEND ls_var TO lt_var.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSAH_LAUNCH_EXCEL'
    EXPORTING
      i_genuniid                       = lv_genuniid
      I_OBJVERS                        = 'A'
      i_hide_sapgui                    = 'X'
    TABLES
      I_T_VAR                          = lt_var.
ENDIF.
If parameter 'i_hide_sapgui' is empty, I'm getting empty selection-screen,
If parameter 'i_hide_sapgui' equals 'X' I'm getting selection-screen filled with values, which were used last time manualy, not with values from the internal table 'lt_var'.
Do you have any idea how to pass parameters to the query with this function module?

Krzysztof

Refreshing Hierarchy node variable in BEx query with change in hierarchy

Hi all,
We have used a hierarchy node variable on Characteristic ZECCSAC (user-defined) and used it in a BEx query with default value set to a particular node value. Upto this, it is working fine.
The hierarchy used in the query, with the hierarchy node variable, was later changed ( and in future it can undergo changes ). Since the number of records in the hierarchy are changing, the nodenames of the hierarchy nodes are changing. But the hier node variable default value is still set to the earlier nodename for that node description. So at runtime it is giving an error "ECCS Account Number is invalid"!
Can anyone suggest how to refresh a hierarchy node variable default value each time a query is run so that the latest nodename is always taken ?
Quick reply will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
You get this with User exits.

Report on BEx query with 2 structures (one in rows and one in columns)

Hi, experts! I have to make Crystall report on BEx query with 2 structures, one in columns (with KF's), and one in rows. Is it possible to create such report? Because when I create such report, I cant see fields in structures, only characteristics fields.
Ok, I found samr problem in another thread. Sorry.

Hey Flora,
Happy to hear that its working now.
Answering your question, again its upto the connection and report format you are using. Based on your question i hope you your report output should be like this.
You cannot map to two labels for the series, again this report format is possible only in cross tab through Webi. I would suggest you to concatenate the material and month in a dimension in webi like below.
I have done the concatenation in excel level, i would suggest you to do that in webi. Try to reduce the formula as much in excel.
or
If you are using Query browser connection, then i would suggest you to create a separate report which will display the actual vs plan material wise, here you need to pass the material as a prompt.
Hope this helps in clear, please revert me for any clarification.

MDX for a BEx query with a characteristic structure

Hi,
I have a BEx query with a characteristic structure in the rows.
Material     Structure     Measure1
a-Material     a-Structure     ....
a-Material     b-Structure     ....
b-Material     a-Structure     ....
b-Material     b-Structure     ....
I am looking to run the query via MDX. Is that possible? If yes, how should be the mdx statement.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,
McGreen

Hi,
it will work, so long as you also include the Structure object in the WebI Query panel as a results objects.
the SELECT syntax is much the same as a 'normal' MDX statement.
the quickest way to tell them appart is how the Measures are called. normally, it starts:   SELECT [MEASURE.ABC123] NONEMPTY(CROSSJOIN( ...   ) )
however, when you have a Structure, all the declarations from the start of the statement looks like : SELECT [ABC123.ABC123] NONEMPTY(CROSSJOIN( ...   ) )
i hope this helps.

SAP BO WebI Report on top of BI Bex Query with Authorization Variable

Hi,
We are trying to restrict row level data using BI 7.0 analysis authorization concept. We have an authorization variable in the Bex query and is working perfect in Bex Analyzer as well as in RSRT.
Now we are trying to achieve the same thing in BO webI. We created an Universe using Authentication Mode SSO. We are on BOXI 3.1 and implemented SSO. When we try to run the query in WebI we get the error
"A database error occured. The database error text is: Error in MDDataSetBW.GetCellData..(WS 10901)"
Just for testing purpose, when we use query filter in WebI and use Values from List, it is showing only the authorized value it supposed to show and runs well with that value selected. But we have to achieve this without the query filter in WebI.
So are we missing some thing here or any patch issue? Please share if you have done this type of reports in BO.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Moorthy.

Yes I did run MDXTEST and it gives error as 'you do not have sufficient authorization'. The reason it is giving, I guess and we are debugging that to confirm, is first it looks for 0BI_ALL and throws error which is not the case in Bex. See the following trace in RSRT trace.
InfoObject Properties Defined
Reading of Directly Assigned Authorizations
Direct Assignment Does Not Include Universal Authorization 0BI_ALL
Reading the Indirect Assignments with Authorization Object S_RS_AUTH
Does user have OBI_ALL?
No, the User Does Not Have Universal Authorizion 0BI_ALL
Negative Entry in SU53 Result of Failed Check for 0BI_ALL
Indirect assignments found; no universal authorization
Reduction of Authorization Dimensions on Characteristics in InfoProvider
Reduction Successful
Thanks!

Query with variant from ABAP

Hello!
I need to execute a BW-query from an Abap-report.
I tried it already with function module 'RRW3_GET_QUERY_VIEW_DATA' and with classes / objects 'CL_RSR_REQUEST' resp. 'CL_RSR_DATA', but:
I want to use the query with a variant, which could be found in table RSRPARAMETRIZA.
(Btw: even with a variant in table RSRVARIANTDIR I don't get the results wanted...)
Is there a direct way to call a BW-query with a variant from Abap?
Alternatively: How do I get the variant-contents? Is there a 'universal' way to work with both kinds of variants? (RSRVARIANTDIR / RSRPARAMETRIZA)
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link.
Well, I already read that document and I followed the links to the former blogs on this subject.
But this solution doesn't work for me: CL_RSR_QUERY_VARIABLES is unknown.
I read the pdf and the function-module-code, but I still don't have an idea how to work with query- variants . The example-coding includes a line
DATA: wf_variant TYPE variant .
but that's not used, or is it?
(I don't have a set of variables and conditions, but just a variant-name. The variant will be created by other people, who would start my report.)
Greetings

Using Bex Query with cell definition with WEBI

Hi,
Currently I am using a Bex query as a datasource for a webi, normally this works ok but I am having trouble with one particular query.
This query has cell definitions defined in the query. When i import the query into WEBI I get an MDX error.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Flash

Hi,
We do not see all elements of the BW query in the universe, just those not using cell definitions.
We are currently on Business objects XI 3.1
Using BW 3.5
And the query runs fine using RSRT, it does show some asterix for some of the values but this can be removed by filtering on currency type in BW report
Thank You,

Universe on Bex Query with Condition

Hi,
I'm working on creating a WebI version of a Bex Report. I've created a universe on top of the Bex Query and then a WebI report based on the Universe. The Bex Query contains 4 conditions. They allow optional filtering of two measures, Less Then or Equal and Greater Then or Equal. The conditions are applied at the employee level of the results set, so for example, if an employee's total sales is greater than 50 and the user enters 50 for the condition then none of that employee's rows of data will appear.
A single filter was created in teh Universe containing all four conditions. I had to update the syntax as they were all brought in using Equals instead of the GreaterorEqual and LessOrEqual. I also updated the filter key to use the @Select and the correct dimension.
In the WebI report, only the two using LessOrEqual are functional. The two conditions that utilize GreaterOrEqual will only remove individual rows, not the enter set of rows for that employee. I've set the aggregation to sum instead of Database Delegated for the two affected measures.
If anyone has any input on how to get the GreaterOrEqual conditions functioning properly, or a workaround that will remove all rows for an employee when their sales are not above a cert number, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Also here is the syntax for one of the filters that is not functioning properly.
<OPTIONAL><FILTER KEY="@Select(Total Quantity of Adjustments\Total Quantity of Adjustments)"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="GreaterOrEqual"><CONSTANT CAPTION="@Prompt('Minimum Quantity of Adjustments','N',,mono,free)"/></CONDITION></FILTER></OPTIONAL>

Zero Suppression Not working in Bex Query with Formula Variable

Hi Friends,
I have a peculiar issue here. We upgraded from 3.5 to 7.0 recently. Some of our Bex queries have been behaving abnormally after this. In these queeries,
we have some key figures which use formula variables (ready for input and mandatory) in 3.5. User can enter either 1 or 0. The actual key figure is multiplied to the formula variable so, the entire column gets the actual key figure value if the user enters a value '1' and the gets the value 0 if the user enters '0' in the formula variables. Zero suppression is activated on the rows and columns and this report. This technique was used successfully to show/hide a column.
After upgrade, the same query works but, the zero suppression is not working. When the user enters a value of '0' in these formula variables, all the entries in the column for the key figure are displayed as 0 but the column is still displayed. It is like the zero suppression setting is not active at all.
I created one of those queries in Bex 7.0 to see if that works but, the issue still exits. Have anyone come across this kind of a scenario? Please get back to me if anyone has any idea on this situation.
Thanks and Regards

Which SP level are you at in BI 7? There is an OSS Note that would need to be applied if you're on lower than SP10. That note is:
