Hi Pedamarla,
Did you consider saving the selected vendors and vendor groups as variants?
Hope it helps.

Compounded characteristic are not displayed in the variable screen (BI 700)

Hi Experts,
How to display compounded characteristic in the variable screen of queriies?
Example :
IO 0PROFIT_CTR is compounded to 0CO_AREA. Tryimg to select 0PROFIT_CTR via a variable,
only values of 0PROFIT_CTR are displayed in F4 opo up, not those of 0CO_AREA.
0CO_AREA is not restricted in any way in query definiton.
This happens in BEx Analyser as well as in web apllication.
Did anybody face this issue? How to solve it?
Thanks in advance for helpful replies.
Regards
Joe

Hi,
Thanks for replies. Possibly I did't explain my problem i a correct way.
'I 've a variable for 0PROFIT_CTR. When I call F4 , values for 0PROFIT_CTR are displayed
e.g. as
7062 PC 7062
7062 PC /062
My problem is, that these PCs belong to different Co_areas. so i expected
3200 7062 PC 7062
4300 7062 PC 7062
3200 an 4300 are representing compounded Co_areas in this example. In 3.5 this worked perfectly,
if Co_areas was not restricted itself with a variable or a defined value.
Now I'm looking for the option to achieve this as well in 700.
Regards
Joe

Variable screen/variant screen authorization issue

HI All,
We have implemented standard Cost Center Overview Report(0SR_C02_Q0002) in BI 7.
We have three selection fields:
1.Company Code which is mandatory
2.My controlling Area which is also mandatory
3.Costcenter which is not mandatory
The requirement we are facing over here is that in the Variable screen/variant screen when I enter a company code, then I need to display dynamically only those "My Controlling Area" values which are assigned to that particular company code and not all. In the same way after selecting the appropriate "My controlling area" value, I need to display only those cost centers in the cost center selection field which are assigned to the selected company code and My controlling area combination and not all.
can anyone guide me on how to go about on this authorization issue at the variable screen itself.
Please treat this issue/requirement on high priority.
Appreciated in advance.
Regards,
raps.

Hi,
I think that an alternative to solve your concern could be using Web Application Designer (WAD). In this respect, there are several design options, with different levels of complexity.
As the simplest alternative, you could create a WAD including your query and three Dropdown Boxes: one for Company, a second for Controlling area and another for Cost center. The four mentioned elements should be linked to the same dataprovider so, when you select a company, the options in the other two Dropdown boxes and the information in the query are updated.
In order to enforce mandatory filter selection at Company and Controlling area level, you should set NO_REMOVE_FILTER='X' in both two Dropdown boxes, so that "All values" option -which would mean no filtering- is not offered.
I hope this helps you.

Variable screen issue in BEX !!

Hi Gurus,
Problem Description - When any query is opened through u2018Web BEx Analyzeru2019->u2019New Analysisu2019 button in portal , variable screen is shown and report is getting executed. Again, if we open same query from u2018Web BEx Analyzeru2019->u2019New Analysisu2019 (Donu2019t close the session use same session), Variable screen will NOT be shown at Second time. Directly, Query will be executed with previous Variable values & result will be shown.
I have modified following parameters but it did not take any effect to the variable screen problem.
VARIABLE_SCREEN, MELT_VARIABLES, VARIABLES_CLEAR, USE_PERSONALIZATION
100% points are assigned
kindly do the needy

Paul,
I have experienced similar issues with the behaviour of variable selection screens e.g. variable screen appears in the Bex Excel version but not the web version. One of our consultants has suggested that the behaviour depends on whether the variables are optional or mandatory, something I've yet to confirm.

Variable screen not popping up in BEx Analyzer

Experts,
I'm facing a wierd situation while executing queries in 3.5 BEx Analyzer. When the query is executed using 3.5 BEx Analyzer varibale screen does not pop and report strats running wide open. The Varible input is optional. But if the report in executed using Web (From the 3.5 Query Designer) variable screen pops up. This happens with the same user ID.
Please let me know if you have any ideas, could this be something realted to authorizations. In the meantime, i'm trying to change the varibale to mandatory and see if the variable screen pops up.
Thanks

Hello
The standard behavior is not show the variable screen if it has no mandatory variables. In the webtemplate you may have the parameter forcing to show the variable screen added in the code. It is something like "force variable screen". Please check if you can see that parameter.

Variable Screen Does Not Display in Bex Web Analyzer after first time

We recently upgraded from BW 3.1 to BW 7.0 (without upgrading specifically to 3.5). We are having a problem with our Web Bex Analyzer not showing the variable screen although the variable screen is displayed successfully when running the same query from the Bex Analyzer. Based on feedback from other posts regarding similar topics, we modified the 0analysis_pattern template to ensure that Display Variable Screen was checked on. We are finding that when we open the Web Bex Analyzer and do a New Analysis, the first query we try to run will always have the variable screen displayed successfully. Any susbsequent queries we try to run by clicking on New Analysis in that same open window will not show the variable screen and will start executing open ended. This is occurring regardless of whether the query has mandatory or optional variables and we have confirmed that there is no personalization set for the variables being used. We have tried it with several different queries and the results are consistent. The first query you run shows the variable screen successfully and any queries run after that do not. Any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated as we have exhausted our resources researching and troubleshooting this problem.

We did open an OSS note and heard back from SAP. We made the recommended setting, see their response below, but as they stated, it will only show variable screens for queries that have at least one mandatory variable entry after the first query is opened.
Response from SAP:
Please check if the following setting is made within your template --
In the 'Standard Actions' of the Web Template, do you have the setting
'Action Before First Display' set to OPEN_VARIABLE_DIALOG
The behaviour of the variable screen is different if you use mandatory
variables and optional variables. If you have only optional variables,
the Display Variable does not force the variable screen.
Also, using the parameter VARIABLE_SCREEN=X only influences the
web application at STARTUP. This would not come into affect when you
use the 'New Analysis' button. This button resets the dataprovider so
this would not affect the variable screen and would not redisplay the
variable screen as you require.

Bex 3.5 : hide variable screen popup running SAPBEXrefresh

Hi all,
We need to create a simple tool specifying a file list of excel workbooks containing queries to be refereshed.
Thanks to the doc of "boeke" and the precious Peter Knoer's posts, I've done the following :
> log on BW,
then for each workbook in the specified file list,
> open workbook,
then for each query of the opened workbook ,
> get Variables from the "SAPBEXqueries" worksheet
> Run SAPBEXsetVariables ("Memory and reuse variable values" option is ticked on)
> Run SAPBEXrefresh
..and so on
Everything works fine, except that each time the SAPBEXrefresh runs, the variable screen pops up with the "free caracteristics" input. I've nothing to input in there : and if click on the run button (F8), it continues correctly.
How can I get rid off this variable screen popup from the refresh process ?
Thanks in advance for all your helps,
Sylvain

Hi sylsyl ,
I guess you need variable screen at starting level. but when you refrest result set it should not show.
if it is the requirement, you will have two different buttons to refresh.
1) variable refresh
2) normal refresh
Instead of using normal resfresh you might use variable refresh.
so please use normal refresh. it will be solved.

Ranganath.

Reg. Variable screen while loading bookmark

HI Friends,
We are working with WAD in SAP BI 7.01 ( With SAPKW70105 patch).
We are having some issue with variable screen display while loading bookamark.
Actually user wanted to show the Variable screen while running report, So we explicity switched on the "Display Variable" in web template
Even we have the option called "While loading Bookmark" in webtemplate.
We have given the option as HIDE for "while loading bookmark. This option is working fine, if the report doesnt have the mandatory fields in the selection screen. At that time if we create bookmark and click on created bookmark means.. it will show us the report without showing the variable screen (Selection screen).
But if the report is having mandatory fields in the selection screen and if we create the bookmark, click on the same.. it will prompt the selection screen (which we dont want to ).
So can anyone please help on this.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravish

HI Friend
Thank you for the support.
We are abe to solve the issue by adding the JAVA patch.
Thanking you again

Broadcasting fails with more than X variables in variable screen

Hi all,
We have a few reports which have a variable screen with 10+ variables, mostly 3 mandatory and the rest is optional.
Normally a pop-up appears in which you can select which type (HTML, PDF, Portal etc.) and fill in the recipients. But for the reports I'm talking about, the pop-up stays blank or give an error "page not found"
First I thought it was an iView setting but I've compared all iviews and the settings are all the same.
Then I thought the webtemplates could have wrong parameters, but the LAUNCH_BROADCASTER settings are the same for 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN and custom templates.
Now I'm testing at query level and I found out that when I cut some optional variables, at some point it works and I'll get the pop-up I want.
So I wonder if there's a restriction in the maximum number of variables in the variable screen, which has impact on broadcasting? In one query it fails with 11 or more variables, but in another query it fails with 13 variables. It doesn't matter which variable I erase, as long as I stay under the mentioned number of variables, the broadcaster works for that query.
Is there a parameter or something which can be set?
We are on:
BW 7.31 SP9.30
Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Daan Boon

There is nothing restriction on no. of Query Variables while broadcasting. There is something else which causes this strange behavior. Can you update your BEx GUI to latest Patches?

How to order the variable screen if some variables are in differnet Queries

Hi,
i have a workbook in Bex Analyzer (BI 7.0) which contains 4 Queries (A,B,C,D). In the variable selection screen are 15 variables. One variable is used only in one Query (C). 6 variables are used in 2 Queries(1xA,B; 2xB,C; 3xA,D) and 8 variables are used in 3 Queries(A,B,C).
If I open the variable screen in the workbook the 15 variables are in a confusing order.
How can I change the order of these variables?
I tried to order the variables in the Query Designer (Variable Sequence) for every Query but it didn't work.
Best Regards.

Hi Jordan,
       There is a best practice when using the variables in a the queries...Make the most used ones in"Personalise variables" option available in the pop up screen for the variable selection....
     Also,in order to have a correct sequence of variables ,,just arrange them in order u want using "query properties"....
    Hope this helps you..and assign the points if ts needful
Regards,
Venkat.

Variable screen is missing

Hi All,
We are facing a weird issue, that variable screen is missing while executing query in Bex, however we are able to get variable entry screen in RSRT and Web bex.
1. Variable type : Characteristic values
2. Processing type : User entry and entry is optional.
3. We have checked ready for user input
Please let us know is there any work around / missing any settings to resolve this issue.
Regards
Venki

Hello Venki,
If you are using Abap Web, and the SAP default template (you can check via RSCUSTV21 transaction), open the template
0ADHOC with Web Application Designer 3.x .
On Properties select 0ADHOC -> WebItem TAB:
> Check the box "Force Variable Screen Display"
However, If you are using BI Java Web, and the SAP default template (you can check via RSCUSTV27 transaction), open the template 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN with Web Application Designer 7.0.
On WEBTEMPLATE properties -> -> WebTemplate Paramenters TAB:
> Check the Box Display Variable Screen to ON.
This will solve the issue.
Best regards,
Edward

RSRT - variable screen

Hi Experts,
When run query with variable/ in RSRT (for output "list" or "Bex analyzer"),variable screen is not displayed. And when the variable is mandatory, then I of course recieved message "Specify a value for variable XXX of the Query"
But when I run the query in RSRT in html output or directly in Bex analyzer, everything works fine...
Any idea what is wrong?
Thank you
Regards
Pavel

It is.... , and some of them are also mandatory....
the wierd thing is, that it behaves differently in Bex and in RSRT. And it also behaves differently within RSRT itself, depending on output option. HTML works fine, Bex and List don't show variable screen.....

Hi,
your question:
When creating a replacementpath variable you don't have the option to make it depends on other variable entry (i didn't find the option) I'm using BEx 7
Answer:
In BI7.0 Query designer, replacement path with other variable entry is possbile.
your requirement:
When a user make a selection in the first var. (Prod Hier. 1) in the var screen, i need that the F4 help in the second variable will show only the Prod Hier. 2 that is under Prod Hier. 1.
my answer:
replacement path with variable will not suit your requirement as far as i know.. any way let us wait for other experts reply...might be someonw knowing.
if it is useful assign points.
