Select more value of variable in planning folder

hi gurus,
I'm using planning folder.
In planning folder there is a variable that contain many value, for example 0COSTCENTER that contain 10 singles values. (from 1 to 10)
User wants to select some values contained in variable.
For example 2 and 5, even if it is authorized on all the cost center contained in variable.
In this moment it selects one to the time.
how I can make to resolve this problem?
Thanks
Davide

Davide,
sorry to say that, that'z the way BPS works.
it's one of the BPSlimitation & many people are asking for an answer from SAP.
as a workaround, you can do following things.
1. user can select variable range, for example 2 to 5.
2. create a variable with properties "user specific values" & fill in required cost centers for each user & don't check the flag "input allowed by user".
in the 2nd option, you can assingn multiple single values to USER1.
if u assign, cost center 2 & 5 to USER1, USER1 gets ability to plan on both 2 & 5 without even selectiing cost centers.
3. you can even look into authorization variables & user-exit variables if they meet your requirements.
hope it helps.

Refresh variable in planning folder

Hello all,
I've created two variables: the first (value selection variable) is selected by user and the second (user exit variable) is dependent by the first one. When the selection is done the planning layout depending theese variables must refresh automatically.
In the bps0 transaction refresh works correctly, but in the planning folder it is necessary to close and re-open the layout. Is there a way to refresh automatically variables in the planning folder too as in BPS0?
Regards
Riccardo

Hi ..
What filip said its correct, only its the oposite thing.
l_buffer_call has to be set to ' ', so it refreshes all the variables when one is changed.
I think the solution to your problemas must be to use the variable Z_GET_VARIABLE_DETAIL as explained in said "How to.. variable of type exit" paper.
Cheers.

Transfer line selection from crosstab to variable in planning sequence

Dear all,
We do have a small planning application with one table and one planning sequence.
To run the sequence, we want one line in the table to be selected and hand over the values of the selected month and year to the variables used in the sequence.
we tried the command:
PS_1.setVariableValue("MyVar", CROSSTAB_1, getSelectedmember("PCRMBERJR"));
but we get the error message
Cannot convert from "Member" to "VariableValue"
The info object PCRMBERJR is referencing to 0CALYEAR and is not compounded.
The Design Studio release is 1.4 SP1
The BW release is 7.3 SP8
Do you have any ideas about this error and how to hand over the row selection to a variable?
thanks
Cornelia

hi Cornelia,
in your script you reference
CROSSTAB_1, getSelectedmember("PCRMBERJR"))
for the value you want to pass.
however this is a object with several properties.
you still have to state the kind of value, internal key or external key, text, compounded etc.
I think if you choose internalkey, you should be ok.
best regards,
Jeroen

Bex query. Select single values in variable time out.

I have created a variable on characteristic 0profit_ctr which works fine for all queries on all Infoproviders except for one. With this particular Infoprovider, which is a DSO when the option to show u201CSingle Valuesu201D is selected in the variable screen the query just hangs and eventually time-outs. I have tried including the DSO in a mult-provider but still have the same issue. The variable works on other DSOu2019s with exactly the same settings. This DSO has less data than the other DSOu2019s which work fine.
I know that 0profit_ctr is compounded with 0co_area which I have tried restricting with no change in the result.
I would be grateful of any ideas.
Thanks
Jenny

Hi Durgesh.
I checked the settings and although they were the same as other infoproviders I changed the query filter value to use the values in the master data table and this has solved my problem.
Thanks for your tip.

Selecting more than one photo in pictures folder to import to iPhoto

Just started using iPhoto '08 and I want to import most of the photos from my pictures folder.
When I have iPhoto open and click the option to import, and then select my Pictures folder...how do I then select multiple photos to import at one time...instead of having to import one at a time?
Any advice is very much appreciated.
Thanks!
joe

Same as everywhere else in the OS.
Click to select one
Click on one and then shift click on the last one to select a contiguous group.
Click on one and then command-click on others to select non-contiguous items
If you have folders of images you can import by folder.
You can also import by dragging and dropping files and/or folders to the iPhoto Window, the iPhoto Dock icon.
If you drag and drop to the Album section iPhoto will create an album if the same name as the Folder.

Select column value with variable

I want to select some data from tables . For that , i write this procedure :
    create or replace procedure find_and_insert
      colname varchar2(4000);
      var varchar2(4000);
      colval varchar2(4000);
    begin
      colname := 'COUNTRY_ID';
      var := 'select distinct(colname) into colval from HR.countries where colname = '||'AR'||';';
      execute immediate var;
    end;
But it can not work . It return 'COUNTRY_ID' into colval , not data of COUNTRY_ID ; Can anyone help me ?

It is not clear what you are trying to do, but it looks like:
declare
    v_colname1 varchar2(30);
    v_colname2 varchar2(30);
    v_var varchar2(4000);
    v_colval varchar2(4000);
begin
    v_colname1 := 'COUNTRY_ID';
    v_colname2 := 'COUNTRY_NAME';
    v_var := 'select ' || v_colname2 || ' colval from HR.countries where ' || v_colname1 || ' = :1';
    execute immediate v_var
      into v_colval
      using 'AR';
    dbms_output.put_line(v_colval);
end;

How to select several values from a user exit variable in a planning folder

Hello,
I have created a user exit variable for limiting the values only to which the user need to access.
For a simulation part, it is then necessary for him to select several values from these values (not only one, and not all)
But It seems in this case the user has only two possibilities :
- keep all the values without any restriction
- restrain the selection to only one value.
It seems possible for the user to access to a multiple choice window, but this possibility doesn't seems to work : in all tests we did, only the first value was taken into account by BPS.
If this method is not good do you know an other manner to permit the user to choice several values amongst a set of pre-selected (because the original set is too important) values ?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Mayank,
Thanks for your response, but I don't think it corresponds to my problem.
I my case, I use a user exit variable to filter some data. It seems BPS offers the possibility to the user to select several values amongts the pre-selected values presented by the user exit variable, but it doesn't work. We can use a popup in which we enters the required values, but in final, only the first value is taken into account.
I don't know if it is due to a BPS bug or if it is not a good solution in regard to BPS philosophy. In this case, the concerned caracteristic isn't in the header but in lead columns.
I must present a solution to my client next monday, so I have not enough time to open an OSS message.
An alternate solution should be interesting too.
My need is to present to a user a selection of values amongst all values from an infoobject (the user exit variable seemed to be a good solution) and the user must have the possibility to select some values amongst these as filter.
Regards

Select more than one value in a query

Hi,
since V7.0 we have a problem in the selection screen to select more than one value in a easy way.
How can I select e.g. 20 BuisinessPartner with one selection?
To create a variant isn't possible, because every user needs different values.
Thanks

Hi,
Go for "Selection Options " instead of Multiple single values ..
With this option u can get single values, multiple single values & ranges also..
Can u please explain clearly regarding that function of whole excel sheet into a variable??

Hi Sutrtha,
Yeah I got the pop up asking to select the variables used, I have selected ENTITY_ID that was used by the interfaces, but on execution of the package the Scenario did not work as the passeed variable #ENTITY_ID is set to 0 instead of the value I am passing.
Am I missing something?

Fetching more than one row from a table after selecting one value from the dropdown

Hi Experts,
How can we fetch more than one row from a table after selecting one value from the dropdown.
The scenario is that I have some entries in the dropdown like below
A               B               C
11256          VID          911256
11256          VID          811256
11256          SONY      11256
The 'B' values are there in the dropdown. I have removed the duplicate entries from the dropdown so now the dropdownlist has only two values.for eg- 'VID' and'SONY'. So now, after selecting 'VID' from the dropdown I should get all the 'C' values. After this the "C' values are to be passed to other methods to fetch some data from other tables.
Request your help on this.
Thanks,
Preeetam Narkhede.

Hi Preetam!
I hope I understand your request proberly, since this is more about Java and less about WebDynpro, but if I'm wrong, just follow up on this.
Supposed you have some collection of your original table data stored in variable "origin". Populate a Hashtable using the values from column "B" (let's assume it's Strings) as keys and an ArrayList of whatever "C" is (let's assume String instances, too) as value (there's a lot of ways to iterate over whatever your datasource is, and since we do not know what your datasource is, maybe you'll have to follow another approach to get b and c vaues,but the principle should remain the same):
// Declare a private variable for your Data at the appropriate place in your code
private Hashtable temp = new Hashtable<String, ArrayList<String>>();
// Then, in the method you use to retrieve backend data and populate the dropdown,
// populate the Hashtable, too
Iterator<TableData> a = origin.iterator();
while (a.hasNext()) {
     TableData current = a.next();
     String b = current.getB();
     String c = current.getC();
     ArrayList<String> values = this.temp.get(b);
     if (values == null) {
          values = new ArrayList<String>();
     values.add(c);
     this.temp.put(b, values);
So after this, you'll have a Hashtable with the B values als keys and collections of C values of this particular B as value:
VID --> (911256, 811256)
SONY --> (11256)
Use
temp.keySet()
to populate your dropdown.
After the user selects an entry from the dropdown (let's say stored in variable selectedB), you will be able to retrieve the collection of c's from your Hashtable
// In the metod you handle the selection event with, get the c value collection
//and use it to select from your other table
ArrayList<String> selectedCs = this.temp.get(selectedB);
// now iterate over the selectedCs items and use each of these
//to continue retrieving whatever data you need...
for (String oneC : selectedCs) {
     // Select Data from backend using oneC in the where-Clause or whatever...
Hope that helps

Medium description of Variable in the planning folder

Hi Experts,
In one of our planning folders the variable for infoobject(Cstcenter) is not put pulling the medium description in the varible section(Top part of planning folder) but same variable is pulling the medium descprion in the header of the layout (Bottom part of the llayout) with in the same folder. This problem is also for only few Costcenters, some costcenters it is pulling the data in both variable section and in the layout section
Any thoughts on this . Please share me your ideas on this. I know this is very simple but little confusing Since the same variable is dipalying the value in place but not in other place. Anybody had this problem.
Thanks in advance
Best regards
SAP

Thanks for your reply Bindu. In both the places test replacement and char test defined as "Medium". It is dipaying the medium text in both the places for only few CC's, but few CC's it is not diplaying the descrption in the varaible section..
Any other areas i need to check.
Thanks in advance.

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?
Thx

Hi,
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.

Not able to select more than two values

Based on picklist.fmb, I created a list item in a form.
I am able select many values using SHIFT but I am not able to pick more than two values using CTRL key.
Anything I did mistake or picklist won't support picking more than two values using CTRL?
Also I am not able to get the scroll bar attaching to this list item.
Please advise.
Thank you,
Prasad

hi,
You have to set the LINES property of the table control In the PBO of your screen, to the number of entries in the internal table.
data: lv_line type i.
DESCRIBE TABLE gt_table LINES lv_line.
table_control-lines = lv_line + 1.
or else
You can do two thing in table control properties check horizontal and vertical scroll options plus in PBO you can based on number of lines in internal table assign it to TC_ABC-LINES if no lines are there then add by default 20..10.. any number of lines as you want.

# value in Variable Selection screen

Hello,
Can you please help with the below:
How do we remove # (Not Assigned) value from Variable selection screen. When I select PLANT in one of the report, I see # value. But there are no empty values in the cube. So, I am not sure as why I am getting this # value in Selection Screen. The seeting in Web designer for READ MODE is "Posted Values" and not "Master data or Dimension Table".
Thanks.

have you checked what Bex properties are set in the Info Object for "Query Def. Filter Value S"
Select Values from Info provider.
that might solve your problem. But ensure you're not disturbing anything else by changing this property.

Scrap Values in Variable Selection Screen

Hi,
When the end user is trying to select a filter value for the characteristic in a workbook, the selection value screen displays a lot of scrap values, when he closes the selection screen and tries again to select a filter value then it displays the correct values. Can anyone please let me know how i can avoid the scrap values to be displayed or how i can remove the scrap values that are displayed.
Thanks,
AM

Hi,
Your Master data values might contain the junk values. That is the reason showing junk values in variable screen.
At filter value selection you might have in the option 'Only Posted values for Navigation' option in InfoObject Properties->Business Explorer Properties.
Cheers,
With awards.
