Restrict values on web template input variable

Hi WAD and Bex Experts,
I'm trying to reduce the numbers of valid values when I press the match code in the input variable in a web template.
In the same time I would like to increase the maximum numbers of valid values
Any ideas how to do it ? I checked on Bex and WAD but I can't figure out how to do it.
I'm on a Bw 3.5 version.
Thank you.

Retain variable values across web templates during a web session

Hi all,
How can we let web template get variable values from another template's variable values so as to keep the same entry values as previous report run?
For example 0vendor has a variable (for single, mandory) used in all vendor related web templates. "vendor1" was entered for the second template.
I tried to use "SET/GET PARAMETER" in variable user exit. It works in BI with RSRT, but it doesn't work with Bex or Web template. Looks like web session is not sync with the ABAP stack.
How about using cookie? How to create/reset cookie in variable user exit? Can we get variable values from web server memory or user session data?
Please share your thought !
Thanks for helping!

Hi Arun,
All the web templates are randomly run by user, there are no set of templates run after one template. Any templates can run after any other web template.
Basically we link web templates with portal menu items. any report can be run by any sequence. The thing the new report need to take the previous selection values from common variables.

Passing Dynamic Filter values to Web template in VC

Hi Experts,
Iam working with a Web Template (which is created using WAD) in Visual Composer Model
I have an input screen ( Variables Form )in VC Iview which has Fiscal Year, Quarter, week and other input fields which need to be entered by a user.
This variables are passed to a couple of queires. Also i have a requirement to pass the same vvariable values to Web template also ( WAD)
I have created a HTML iview in VC Dashboard.and in URL i gave the below URL which is working fine
"pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex?TEMPLATE=YWEB_PLANNING_ADLAYOUT_2"
But i wanted the template to be executed with filter values also
in the actual template i have 4 filters which user needs to enter after the above URL is displayed..
In order to make the template execution dynamic i added the following URL which is not working:
http://Host:port/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex?TEMPLATE=YWEB_PLANNING_ADLAYOUT_2%26FILTER_IOBJNM%3DZFISCYEAR%26FILTER_VALUE%3D2009%26FILTER_IOBJNM%3DZREP_WEEK%26FILTER_VALUE%3D42%26FILTER_IOBJNM%3DZFISCALQTR%26FILTER_VALUE%3D3%26FILTER_IOBJNM%3ZNSPLITREG%26FILTER_VALUE%3DAS%26FILTER_IOBJNM%3DZRSKOPP%26FILTER_VALUE%3DR
Please let me know how to pass dynamic filter values from "Variables Form" of VC iview to Web template HTML iview

Issue with filtering values in Web Template

I am facing a problem with filtering values in Web Template.
I have two queries based on two different data providers. One query is getting data from an Info set and the other from a Remote Cube. I have a single navigational block to filter values for both these queries but the change gets reflected only on the variable of one query. The other reflects no change and shows all the values irrespective of the filter condition.
I have tried the option of setting in the properties of the navigational block, affected data providers as both your data providers.But no effect.
Can a single navigational block be used to filter values on 2 queries which are built on different data providers? If yes, can someone please tell me how it is possible?
Kindly let me know how can I make the changes appear in both the queries?I am using SAP BI 3.5.
Thanks & Regards,
Suchitra

Hi Peng,
Frank also published a fix for 11g R1: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/fnimphius/rc_expand_menu_on_mouse_over.html
function showMenu(event){
var adfRichMenu = event.getSource();
adfRichMenu.getPeer().show(null,true);
}This should work.

Displaying variable values in Web Template

Hi,
I am working on a Web Template.
I want to display the variables and their values input by the user on the Web Template.
Which Web Item function shd I use?
How shd I use it?
Pls guide me.
Thank you,
Adarsh

Hi Adarsha.
You can add the standard web item called "Text Elements". When you have added it just insert the dataprovider you want the filter values displayed for.
Hope it helps.

Default variable values in Web Template

http://-----xx.com:8120/sap/bw/BEx?sap-language=EN&bsplanguage=EN&CMD=LDOC&TEMPLATE_ID=QZSC_O01_5001_TEST&var_name_1=0S_PLANT&var_value_ext_1=6011&VARIABLE_SCREEN=X
While using the above variable my expectation is it shall display variable screen and for plant (0s_plant) variable it shall show default value as 6011 while other variable shall remain blank.
But while executing it is not showing plant default value in variable screen. Any suggestions.
Many Thanks
Vikash

Hi Vikas,
While defining the Query, you can define the default value for the variable. And this Query can be assigned to the Analysis Item in the Web Template. If the "Display Variable" option is set to "On", then, whenever the Template is executed, the default value set in the Variable will be visible.
Hope this answers your question.

Prompt List of Values in WebI - SAP BI Variable - SAP BI Query -BI Infoset

Hi,
We have a Multiprovider built on an Infoset. SAP BI Infoset is built using 2 DSOs.
There is a SAP BI Query on top of this Multiprovider.
Multiple-Single Values type Optional Variables are created for some of the Objects of this SAP BI Query.
Universe is created on top of this SAP BI Query, using SAP Integration kit.
WebI is created on top of this Universe.
Prompts are created on some of the Universe Objects, for the WebI report.
We are facing a typical problem.
When a WebI prompt is created on one particular object, (which also has a Multiple Single Value type Optional Variable in SAP BI Query), its List of Values is showing up only first three values in WebI. The SAP BI Variable in BEX Analyzer shows up all the 8 values for the List of Values, for the same object.
The Output WebI report has more values for the object than shown up in the List of Values & this is the problem.
We tried to keep the settings in Info-object, DSO, Infoset, Multiprovider = Values in Master Data (for the List of Values).
Similar objects and similar variables for the same query / webi show all the List of Values.
Any guidance on aspects to be checked would be helpful.
regards,
Rajesh K Sarin

Problem :
If an SAP BI Infoset is used in data modelling, and a restricted key
figure is created in the SAP BI Query; the resultant WebI Object Prompt
for the Info-object, only shows up LOVs which have been used for the
restricted Key Figure. Both the things are not related except for the
fact that some of the values for the same object are used for the
restricted key figure.
Details :
We have a Multiprovider built on an SAP BI Infoset.
SAP BI Infoset is built using 2 DSOs.
There is a SAP BI Query on top of this Multiprovider.
There is a restricted key figure in the sap bi query. KeyFigure "Number
of Records" is restricted for 3 of the relevant Info-object "Meter
Reading Status" values.
Universe is created on top of this SAP BI Query, using SAP Integration
kit. WebI is created on top of this Universe.
Prompt is created on the Universe Object for Meter Reading Status, in
the WebI report.
List of Values is showing up only the three values in WebI (which were
used in the Restricted Key Figure calculation).
SAP BI Variable in BEX Analyzer for the same Info-object Meter Reading
Status shows up all the 8 values for the List of Values.
The Output WebI report has more values for the object than shown up in
the List of Values & this is the problem.
We have kept the settings in Info-object, DSO, Infoset,
Multiprovider, Query = Values in Master Data (for the List of Values).
When we delete the "Restricted Key Figure" from the SAP BI Query, the
refreshed Universe and Webi have a complete set of List of Values
applicable.
Steps for Reconstruction
1. Create Infoset
2. Create SAP BI Query on Infoset
3. Create Restricted Key Figure for Number of Records and few of the
values for a characteristic info-object "X".
4. Create BO Universe on SAP BI Query
5. Create Webi on BO Universe
6. Create a Prompt on the characteristic info-object "X".
7. Check List of Values for the characteristic info-object "X" in SAP
BI Query and WebI.
8. LOVs in WebI are equal to the values used for restriction in the
restricted key figure.
9. Delete the restricted key figure from SAP BI Query.
10. Refresh Universe
11. Webi prompt shows all the values for the prompt on "X".

Restrict values of characteristic in input-ready new rows query

Hello all
We are creating an input-ready new rows query. So we added characteristic as row.
We need the values in F4 (while choosing value in this row) are to be restricted by hierarchy (or just restricted by some algorithm - list of values). But if we choose "hierarchy" for that characteristic, it will also appear in rows, so not one posted value will appear, but full hierarchy for this value. How to make F4 for choosing restricted values of any characteristic.
Reason: we have different account plans for different years and don't want users to choose "old" positions.
Cheers, Yuri

Hello, Yuri!!!
Try to use next variants:
1) Authorization
restrict you characteristic in RSECADMIN
2) COMPAUND
You can add compaund characteristic to you main characteristic, and if you restrict this compaund characteristic in filter, then in query you'll see only appropriate values
3) FILTER
You can restrict not only fixed values, but you can use prequery for you characteristic. For example make DSO in which will be calmonth and account in key. And make query to take accounts for calmonth. After that in you main query restrict you account through variables with replace path type (set query for accunts for month).
4) Relation in RSPLAN
Create DSO(as in case 3) and try to use relation for you realtime cube in RSPLAN.

Restricting values of charcteristics in the Variable

Hi
I have a charcteristic with some values .
I have created a varaible which shows all these values in the selection screen drop down.
I only want 3-4 values from the given set of values of charcteristics in the selection screen

hi dheeraj u can try this :
in characteristic restriction bring ur characteristics say CHARXX
now restrict it with ur variable say varxxyy
in default values drag ur characteristics charxx
now restrict ur charxx again with 3-4 default values as u wish to bring in....
this way upon ur query exxecution it shall display the variable as well as 3-4 values.....
try this work around
or else when u create ur variablexxyy
in its definition move to tab DEFAULT VALUES
in that define ur 3-4 values one by one
this way upon query execution the variable will display ur default values automatically.....
try this workaround..

URGENT: Not seeing the variable Pop-up for Button , on web template in WAD

Hi gurus,
In IP I have a standard plan function for 'Copy', which has a few variables defined on the funciton itself (as to be changed):
Version from:
Version to:
Order from:
Order To:
Fiscal year from:
Fiscal year to:
All of the above variable are created with the following parameters:
Variable input: Optional (have also tried madantory)
Ready for input: is flagged.
Variable represents: Single value.
No default entry.
No personalized data.
Now in WAD, I create a button group for this function by selecting the Command, 'Executing Planning Function (simple)', manually entering my plan function technical name next to 'Command specific parameters', and selecting the dataprovider created for the filter I created in IP, and finally flagging the 'Display variable' button.
The problem is, on the web template the variable screen does not appear when I click on the function button. It executes the function in the background without giving me the pop-up for variable selection. And obviously since the variables have no default values, nothing is processesed.
I've tried this with planning sequence instead, and still wont give me the variable pop-up screen..
I've actually explicitlet entered the variables on the 'Parameters for Command screen', the same screen where you enter the filter for databinding and well as the function.
It still wont work (no variable pop-up screen).
Is this issue related to the support pack. We're on SP12 right now?
If not, do any of you gurus have any ideas? Big points will be rewarded for this.
Thanks

In the parameterization of the command, there is an option 'show variable screen'. I am not sure if you have mentioned this clearly, but have you checked this option?

Restricting key figure based on - INPUT value or value in TRANSACTION data

Hi fellow BWers, hope you can help with this report requirement.
Manual input variable : 0CALMONTH.
<b>Is it possible to restrict a key figure (0amount) like this on-the-fly: </b>
If 0calmonth in input variable > 0calmonth in transaction data
then restrict 0amount with 0calmonth from input variable
else restrict 0amount with 0calmonth from transaction data
It's a must-have requirement to do it 'on the fly', not in the ETL.
Thanks very much,
AG

Thanks a lot, I get the idea
In order to get the 0calmonth from the transaction data, i need to :
1. display the lowest granularity in the rows (so that calmonth is unique)
2. then use formula variable with replacement path on the infoobject 0CALMONTH to get the value from transaction data?
Is this correct?
If yes...since the user does not want the lowest granularity in the report, he wants result pr. profit center, this will happen if I take 'No display' on the characteristics :
Profit center A || 20
Profit center A || 30
Profit center A || 10
Profit center B || 15
<b>Question</b> How do I get the total pr. profit center, despite having all the other characteristics (hidden) in the row?
Thanks

Variable in adhoc web template

Dear Experts,
In my adhoc web template, I included a dummy query which has a text variable.
Upon executing the web template this variable is prompted correctly in selection screen.
But, when I execute a query from query designer (the query will be automatically embedded to this adhoc web template when publish to web),
only variable from the query is prompted,
and NOT the text variable which I have in adhoc web template.
Is there any way to have this text variable from adhoc web template even when I execute query from query designer?
Thanks,
Sari.

Yes thanks.
I have put the variable in the query designer and it works fine.
Cheers,
Sari.

Get Web Template ID

Hello,
I have a customer exit variable in a query which is embedded in a web template. When we execute the web template, the variable screen pops up where I enter a manual input variable value.
In the customer exit, for I_STEP = 2, I need the web template URL on the selection screen. The reason is, I have to get web template ID. Is there a way to achieve this?
Thanks.

Hi,
I guess you can only get the ID of the Query with variable I_S_RKB1D-COMPID

Precalculated web template - how to use it

Hello everybody,
i need your advice on how to correctly use the feature of precalculated webtemplate.
I have following situation:
we have created a pretty compliacted web template, which must be optimized on performance.
The rule should be: current month data should be available as precalculated webtemplate. people will access the web template with borwser (it will be not send via emial)
Below my questions:
1) How to call the precalclauted web template (if variable is part of report)
I was playing around with this prcealculation fueature and got to the result that the only way to call a precalculated web template if we use variables, is to include the variable and variable value into the URL string
Is this true?
Any other ideas how to call a precalculated web template
2) How to define flexibly the precalculation variant
Right now I have define up to 22 variants for each month (for eachworking day of the month).
For new month i have to define new variants.
My idea is to have it flexible: define one variant for each day of the month. As the month changes, the variants should consist of new dates (for the new month). This should happen automatically. Maybe with ABAP program.
Any idea how to do it?
Maybe anyone has batter idea how to mange the precalculation for given dates
TIA
pawel

hi Kavi,
precalculated webtemplate can be said 'produce' query result first in the background, the 'calcuated' result stored in HTML format (statis), so will speed up report access without execute olap query/accessing database.
the 'disadvantage' is no olap navigation.
use via 'reporting agent'.
there is specific pdf doc for precalculate webtempate in sdn forum, point you later.
