Report Report Interface Variable Values Transport

Hi,
I'm trying to use the report report interface for passing variable values.
How can I pass variable values of the sender query into the reciever report?
An example:
- I've used the 0CALYEAR time characteristic infoobject with a suitable input variable in the sender query.
- The sender query is used in the report (web template)
for a chart in away that the x axis peresenting the years (is the 0CALYEAR).
- I'm trying to pass the mentioned variable input - and no the selected year from the chart (by generically), into the reciever report queries which contained the 0CALYEAR infoobject.
Best Regards,
Shani Bashkin

DEar Shani,
Did you check the assignment details onceagain on the 0CALYEAR in RSBBS transaction..
regards,
Hari

Dynamic text in Web Report (lookup on Variable Value)

Hi
If a user specifies a variable value to run a report (say company code), is it possible to have logic which looks up some attribute of company code (let's say country for example) and then displays this as part of some header text above the query results table?
E.G. Report:
These results are for country <value>.
.... col1 col2
row1 200 300
row2 100 400
I've had a look at the Text Element Object, but I couldn't determine if it can be used for this - ?
I'm not sure I could use a Customer Exit Variable to look up the Country, as what could it be attached to if Country is not in the query/Infocube - ?
(I have the added complexity of having multiple queries in one Web Report)
Many thanks in advance,

Hi,
I see 2 possibilities:
- Use a <b>text</b> variable with processing type customer exit in the query title and read the masterdata table in your customer exit depending on the variable value for company code.
- Create another query (query on masterdata table) with the same variable. This will result in one row returning the (in the query definition) defined attributes.

Interface variable value

Hi,
Can some body will help me to understand the below code and explain the output or flow of this -
public class Test implements A, B, C {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("A = " + A);
interface A extends B {
    public static final int A = 2 * B;
interface B {
    public static final int B = C.C + 1;
interface C extends A {
    public static final int C = A + 2;
}output :
A = 6I am not getting how it has printed the output value.
Thanks

Until initialization completes A has a "value" of zero. A references B, which references C, which references the (uninitialized) A.
We'll call uninitialized value of A a prime = A'
We'll call the initialized value of A a double prime = A''
A' = 0
C = A' + 2 = 2
B = C + 1 = 3
A'' = B * 2 = 6The value that's printed is therefore 6. But to understand this in detail you must read the JLS. But it's a toy problem; you shouldn't have this sort of "loop" initialization in the first place and the first step to "debugging" it would be to eliminate it.

Passing CPM variable value to BW report/query

Is it possible to pass CPM variable values from SEM scorecard to BW supporting reports.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but it's my first thought of what I would try:

To pass new session variable value to stored proc before running a report.

Hi,
Below is summary of the report requirement -
Database level design
1. Created a view and a global temporary table (GTT)
2. Created an Oracle package procedure to accept from and to business dates on basis of which it will fetch, process and populate the GTT.
Repository level design
1. Created a business model containing the view and the GTT (mentioned above)
2. Created two SESSION variables "from_dt" and "to_dt" to be initialized by their respective init blocks. Each of the variable is initialized with a DATE column value (of type DATETIME) from a database lookup table. I have also set the option "Enable that variable to be set by any user" for both variables.
Query for these variables :
from_dt = select from_date from <table>
to_dt = select add_months(from_date,12) from <table>
Presentation level design
1. Using a text box, i display the default/initialized values of these variables like this -
Current business date:@{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.from_dt']} Future business dt:@{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.to_dt']}
Dates get displayed in YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00 format
The text msg displays these default dates and allows the user to specift different date range for which i create prompts as shown below.
2. Using any random two columns of date type from the business model, i create two date dashboard prompts with labels "From Dt" and "To Dt".
i select Calender Controls for both; setting Default To = Report Defaults.
The Set Variable is set to Presentation variables - such that pv_from_dt maps to "From Dt" and pv_to_dt maps to "To Dt".
3. i create the report using the business model created above. In the report "Advanced Tab" => "Prefix" field i specify the following -
SET VARIABLE from_dt='@{pv_from_dt}',to_dt='@{pv_to_dt}';
Note : The logic here is to display the default dates and allow user to specify different date values which will be stored in presentation variables.
If the user does specify different "from dt" and "to dt" values, then using the presentation variables, i want to "write" back these new values to the corresponding session variables mentioned above.
If the user does not specify different date range, then the default/initialized dates must be considered.
I also display the default and new date values in the report title.
Back to Repository level design
To execute the stored procedure that will load the GTT before running the report I need to pass two date parameters to the stored procedure on basis of which it will fetch data, process and populate the GTT.
In the Connection Pool --> Connection Script Tab --> Execute before query, I wrote the below query using the repository variables FROM_DT and TO_DT to execute the procedure -
DECLARE
v_from_dt date;
v_to_dt date;
BEGIN
v_from_dt := VALUEOF(From_Dt);
v_to_dt := VALUEOF(To_Dt);
package_name1.package_body(v_from_dt,v_to_dt);
END;
Now when i try to run the report i get the following error :
[nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 23006] The session variable, NQ_SESSION.to_dt, has no value definition. (HY000)..
Need help on this.
Is it possible to "write back" a new value to a session variable ?
Any other alternatives.
Thanks
Nusrat

Sandeep, I found a several topics where users describe saving values in DB through stored procedure or function. For example, [How to store OBIEE presentation level variable values in DB |http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=892006] I tried it and get an error
*10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 14551, message: ORA-14551: cannot perform a DML operation inside a query ORA-06512*
It's not a BI error. This error are generated by Oracle DB. If I write next:
SELECT MyPLSQLFunction(p1,p2) FROM DUAL
I get the same error.
Oracle doesn't allow DML operations in SELECT.
Did you relalize this feature yourself? Where did I mistake?

Web Report not printing the fiscal year period variable value

Hi,
In web report where in one text element, we enabled the fiscal year period variable value to display
in the report result.
If we run the report then this fiscal year period is displaying in the general information.
We have print button (Java Code), where user can take a printout of the same report.
In the printout this Fiscal year period is NOT PRINTING, other variables like rollup time, technical name of report etc are printing perfectly.
It is required to print the fiscal period also in the print out of the report.
Any help to come out of this.....
Thanks

Open a crystal report from WAD with passing the variables values

Hi,
I need to know is there any way to link SAP WAD to crystal reports (open a crystal report from WAD)and pass the values of the variables which are entered in the Web App. (e.g. Customer id,year) should be passed to the Crystal Report.
Maybe we need to pass parameter by WAD URL but this is just my assumption and have no idea how to do this with passing variable values.
right now I know the method of how Bex queries which are used as data source for crystal reports but in my current scenario we have the structure like this that bex queries link with WAD and then WAD is linked with crystal reports.
No doubt that Crystal report is target option in RRI but there the source is Bex Query only but in current scenario we are looking WAD (web template) as a source to crystal report or crystal report called in WAD.
Please suggest something on same.
Thanks
Take care

Need to place a variable value at the end of report heading in BI 7

Dear All,
We have to place a variable value at the end of the report heading and the value should get refreshed whenever we change the variable by using "Change Variable Value". I have created a macro and the value will get triggered unless and until we click on any where on a sheet. But, we want to automate this one by using a macro.
Ex: Quarterly TA Host Country Details As Of "Variable Date" Variable is created on TA Date characteristic. User can enter date on Pop up window box at the time of changing a variable TA Date. We need changed date at the end of the Report heading Qua----
Please suggest me on how to place variable value at the end of report heading by using a macro.

No need to use Macro. You can use text variable.
Goto the Query Description and click on the Text variable icon.
Create a text variable of processing type as REPLACEMENT PATH and replace it with the characteristic for which you have a ready for input variable that will be eneter by the user.
This will populate the text variable with the value entered by teh user.
Use this text variabkle along with the Query Description. So your description will look something like REPORT_TITLE&TXT_VAR&
Hope this helps.

Issue with variable values while adding report to Bookmarks/Favorites

Hello All,
I am able to save the reports from my portal as bookmarks with the appropiate navigation state & variable values for reports which do not have a mandatory value variable with no default value. For all other queries like queries with no mandatory variables or queries containing mandatory variables with default values, this is working fine. Any inputs is appreciated. We are in BI7.0 with SP12.
Thanks,
Danny

What's your question, because from your statement, it seems like everything is fine ??

How to pass Presentation Variable Value from Main Report to Detail Report

Hello,
I've 2 reports that is attached to each other. In my main report i've several report prompts and i am using i"s prompted" on my detail report to attach them.
But 2 of my report prompts are presentation variables(Names : FIRST, SECOND). Both are in date format. I've a filter in my main report like;
"ASSIGNMENTS_F"."EFFECTIVE_START_DATE" BETWEEN @{FIRST} AND {SECOND}
It works fine when i run the main report. But when i click on the numbers, i see that i can not filter my detail report with the chosen values for 2 presentation variables. It just shows all the dates.
I've tried adding both presentation variables in both reports as columns and adding 'is prompted' filter to them. But did not work either.
I just cant pass the written values for presentation variable prompts to detail report..
Please help :)

Hi,
What you can try is refer the filte condition in the main report to the detailed report with the option--> Filter based on another request.
Or you try creating another intermediate report which will refer the main report filters and pass the filters to the detailed report.
Hope this helps.

Web report - Variable values while switching between views.

Hi Gurus,
We have a query which has a few variables that are getting populated with default values during query execution[customer exits].
We have added this query to the web.Now there is a date variable which gets populated with the current date value by default.Suppose the users don't vant to run the report for the current date, they are able to change the date in the variable window and execute. But once the report is run, and we try to choose a different vieew for the report, the report automatically gets refreshed with the selected view, but for the default current date value (because of the customer exit).Shouldn't the selected view be getting refreshed with the date values that the user had entered while executing the report?
Also when navigating between the different views, shouldn't a variable window pop up? Is there any setting to have the variable window pop up when navigating between the different views of a web report?
Would appreciate a quick response.
Thanks a Lot
Arvind

hello,
we need to go to Query properties -> interaction tab-> remove reuse variables to populate the variable screen everytime or "Save and reuse variable values" to supress variable window
or
Problem could be due to any personalisation.try this:
One the query is executed, click on the button which says change variable values.
In the variable pop-up screen which comes up click on the personalization button
In the new screen which comes up click on reset personalization button
Enter new variable values and execute the query.

Hi Bw Mates,,,
I am trying to display the variable values in Web Report.
I put one text Item in Template and checked the Variable Display and entered the variable name in List.
still I cannot see the variable values in the report.
Thanks for your help.
RSB

<object>

         <param name="ELEMENT_NAME_1" value="Z_CP_018"/>
         ITEM:            TEXTELEMENTS_1
</object>
as the other poster mentioned the variable name has to be in upper case.
if only_values = 'X' you will just get the value other wise
you will get something like below.
variable description = variable value
