Reporting (variable selections)
dear friends,
i got a report with circle and subcircle information. i created a characteristic variables, ZCIRCLE for circle and ZSUBCIRCLE for subcircle. when i execute the query the report will ask for circle and subcircle values. my requirement is when i give some circle value the subcircles which comes under that particular circle should exist, sothat i can select required subcircle from the available subcircles. but what i am getting is when i select a particular circle, all the subcircles which does not belong to the circle which i selected is also displaying. any customer exit required. if so please suggest me .
thanks and regards,

Hi,
Why don't you create a hierarchy for and create variable on that heirarchy which will let you the way you want to select from the variable screen.
This method would make the user too delighted.
Hope this helps you.....

Reports - Variable Selection, Restriction Issue
Hi Experts,
I have an object (Region) in the variable selection screen, which is displaying South, East, North, West and some more junk value.
I want to have only South, East, North and West on the Variable screen of the Analyzer.
I have right clicked the Region Char. Variable on the Filter Section and have selected only South, East, North, West.
But when I try to select the region on the Analyzer. I'm getting all the values including the junk values.
Can anyone tell me how do I have only these 4 regions nothing apart from that.
ThanksHi All,
The data I'm getting is from the Data Provider.
But I want to restrict only 2 Zones like South and North in the Variable Selection Screen.
When I try to restrict it at Filter Pane ->select infoobject ->selection variable->right click it restrict.
Both the Zones are correctly being set on the restriction but when I try to execute it in Analyzer its not displaying me only those zone but all the values.
Hope its clear. Please reply.

How to include text lable in Variable selection screen (Web Reporting)
Hi Experts,
I have created one query and in Web Report-->variable selection screen I have one Date field for that field I have to display a label stating that user to input date in the format YYYY.MM(like a text label).Actually I have created 10 to 12 report . I need u r suggestion such that a single change will reflect my requirement in all the reports and I have created all the reports for same multiprovider.
Thanks in Advance
Yours,
BalaBala,
Prompts can originate from one of two places: either via Designer and using the @prompt functionality or while creating the report building a prompt in the Query Filters panel. If the prompt was built using the @prompt method, and all 10-12 reports are using that particular @prompt, then one change via Designer will cause all reports to reflect the new verbiage. If you built the 10-12 reports using the prompt in the second scenario, then each individual report needs to be opened, modified and then saved. If you must use the latter method, then you can open the first report, modify the prompt verbiage, then highlight the new verbiage with your mouse and hit Control-C (which copies that text to the Clipboard of your Windows system). Then go to the second report, locate the verbiage that needs to be changed, delete it, then Control-V (which pastes), and voila, some keyboarding strokes are saved....
Thanks,

BI report not displaying Variable selection screen on UI
Hi,
We have recently upgraded our CRM to 7.0, but the strange thing is the BI reports are executing without giving the user the variable screen.
Now the alternative to this is making the variables in BI section Mandatory and they show up in the report, but this is not the correct way.
Are we missing some piece of configuration somewhere.
Regards
LalanHi Vinayak,
Do you know how can I get the variable selection screen to display in BI analyzer when I execute the report from backend BW system and it launches BI analyzer. I know we can go into Add-Ins and from toolbar we can go into Change Variables Values icon, but I would like selection screen to display as default when user runs the report from backend.
Thanks

'How to..use reporting variables in BPS' syntax issue
Hi,
I am implementing the white paper 'How to...use reporting variables in BW-BPS' and I am getting a syntax error in the include YBW_BPS_VAR_READ. The error indicates 'Statement is not accessible' for my line:
SELECT SINGLE * FROM ybw_bps_var_map
ybw_bps_var_map being my transparent table as described in the white paper.
I have never seen such a syntax error, has anyone had the same issue? My code is the one in the white paper.
Thanks for any help.
DavidHi David,
I have the coding up and running. I have not seen this error before and don't know how to resolve it. If you cut&paste it from the PDF, then maybe some special characters got pasted into the ABAP editor. Try to delete the line and type it in manually.

SAPGUI 640 patch 19, BEX SAP BW 3.x, , Netweaver04 - No variable selection
The above in subject line is installed. Checked the installation w/sapbexc.xla, no major issues, all components were selected during frontend install. When the BEX Browser is launched I connect to BW and I select a report a Visual Basic error "Run-time error '91' Object variable or With block variable not set" occurs. Excel is opened but the expected variable selection screen does not appear. In addition to the above the BW addon patches 8 and 9 are installed and a couple of entries made into the PC registry per note 542961. SAPGUI works well for everything else as far as I can tell. What have I missed to make this work? prkctybum
Lou,
Please help me with this issue. We have the same similar issue you had. We can do the Global Settings going to the individual users but we are not able to push the resolution to every machine in the company, please see the note below. If you could send the resolution showing how you were able to push the code to every machine. You can mail me to [email protected].
Ive attempted to use .NET 2s storeadm /LIST command to pull the BEXAddin info from the IsolatedStorage Assembly where it keeps a record of the bexaddin.dll information. However the record it keeps is of no help. The file path:
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Application Data\IsolatedStorage\x1smiiqw.qws\p1vq0mkf.2u2\Url.fc1l2xts4acc5iv3nxl2uoy0btkfeen5\AssemFiles\BExAddin.xml
is not kept here, or anywhere else that I can find. Im going to have to do this the hard way and build something to check if IsolatedStorage exists, if so, query the folder structure, and check to see if the BEXADDIN.XML has been built, if it has, rewrite the legacy option. If it doesnt exist, thats the BIG issue, well have to initiate Excel to run the BExAnalyzer that way it generates the IsolatedStorage and then repeat the above. The problem is that running Excel without the customer realizing that Im running it is kinda tricky, whats worse is that this would have to run for every user on a machine, and thats impossible to do without everyones password, so essentially, this would only work for the logged on user, or what USD perceives as the logged on user, and since USD runs under the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account thats what it will see as the current user. So, long story short, I dont think I can automate a fix for this.
So, while I could query every existing users folder structure within IsolateStorage, I cannot guarantee that theyve run BEX once to generate the folder structure for themselves in order for me to patch it. We could force BEX open after pushing SAP, but again, it would open for the SYSTEM account, not a real user. The only way to automate is to get the customer involved and have them run BEX one time, but how would we know to then push the fix

Filter value for variable selection screen
Hi & help !,
This could be a tricky or an easy question, but it seems too hard for me !
I'm storing version in my cube, and have a report which shows informations for the version you select (with a variable = ZVERSION01).
ex : Version :
V01
V02
V03
V04
When report is executed i have my variable selection screen (for variable ZVERSION01) which give all version [V01 -> V04]. But i want users have no access to version V01 & V02.
Variable ZVERSION01 is "single selection", i tried to filter with Default Values screen or Characteristic Restriction screen but it doesn't work.
ex : caracterisitic restriction screen : VERSION = !V01 / !V02
default value screen : variable VERSION = ZVERSION01
Any idea?
ThxHi,
In BI 7.0 there is Anaylysis authorisation RSECADMIN transaction. That you can use here or normal role concept will also do.
What you need to do is grant authorisation to the users for V03 and 04 version only and create 'Authorisation' type variable on version in the query. (type of variable - it asks while creating the variable). This way users will only be able to see authorised versions only.
Note you have to make version infoobject as Authorisation relevent infoobject. ( in infoobject properties).
Let me knw if you have any doubt.

Do we have search help facility in variable selection (F4 help).
Hi All,
At my client place users are comfort with R/3 search help (F4), and looking for the same feature in Bex Reporting. Is it possible to have the same kind of feature in Bex reports.
Example.
In R/3 T-Code MB5B, user searches with material description or with some other options like sales material by general product hierarchy. Can we get the same kind of feature.
And my client says that if we drop down for material it is taking huge amount of time to display the material numbers and description, we want to know how to reduce the time for displaying the material or customer master data text in variable selections.
In Bex we are aware of material text is going to display as small or medium or long descriptions, when we drop down.
Your suggestions are most valuable to us.
Thanks in Advance.
AkashGoto se11
in data type : put KIDNO change mode ... avoid the messges ....
there in theDefinition : put your new Search Help activate it ....
so that it will be attached..
otherwise there so many ways of attaching the serach help for F4 ..
Implementing search Helps
Search helps can be implemented in a variety of ways:
1 .Add to Table field Added via SE11: Place cursor on desired field within database and select menu path Goto->Search help->for field
Effect: If field used to create screen field, search help will be called when user executes F4/drop down input help. All fields on screen will be populated if appropriate fields exist in search help and screen.
2.Add to Table Added via SE11: Place cursor on desired field within database and select menu path Goto->Search help->for table
3.Add to Data element Added via SE11: Select desired data element (double click), enter search help name and parameters in appropriate fields on screen. Will be applied to all fields associated with that data element
4.Add to Screen field Added via screen painter: One of field attributes is search help. Will only populate the one screen field.
5.Add to Sel. screen parameter (MATCHCODE) Added using 'matchcode' addition for parameters declaration: Search help name must be no more than 5 characters long.
e.g. PARAMETER p_prog LIKE trdir-name MATCHCODE OBJECT zsh.
Rewatrd points if it is usefull ...

Key and text replaced with "???" in variable selection after SPS Upgrade
Hello community
I have a problem regarding the variable screen.
We recently upgraded to SAPKW70021 and SP19 in Java. After this a problem appeared in web reporting and variable selection. When users are prompted to enter a value for fiscal year for example, the input help displays "???" instead of years. When you choose an "???" randomly from the list and add to your selection, the year is displayed correctly. The same issue is present with company code selection and other user input variables as well, the selection list is filled with "???" for both key and text.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
best regards
Antti LyytikäinenHi,
Note 1368055 describes this issue. You need to implement the mentioned java patch for the BI components and set the parameter mentioned in the note to solve this issue.

Need to skip the variable selection screen when using dropdown
Hello Friends,
I have created a web template having a dropdown, a table and a text element. Basically I am trying to follow the guide "How to Use a Dropdown Box to Set Variable Values". It shows how to select values for a variable using dropdown.
NOTE: The guide can be found here:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2642ab90-0201-0010-9193-d59de66cbab4
What is happening is when I select a value for the variable in the dropdown, the correct url is getting formed but instead of displaying the report using the selected value, the variable selection screen appears. Given below is the url that gets formed:
http://abcdev.wdf.sap-ag.de:8000/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=E&PAGENO=1&REQUEST_NO=3&CMD=PROCESS_VARIABLES&SUBCMD=VAR_SUBMIT&VAR_NAME_1=TSTPEROD&VAR_VALUE_EXT_1=04.2007
Please assist me to get rid of the variable selection screen. Thanks!
Regards,
Prem.Hello Ray,
Thanks for your reply. This has partially resovled the issue. I have awarded you points for that. Now I am able to skip the variable screen.
However, the query results are not getting refreshed. I wanted to restirct the values based on the value given in the variable selection (In my case the dropdown box). Somehow I am not able to link the dropdown with the variable or the "SAPBWOpenURL(url);" function is having some issues.
Please assist. Thanks!
