Select-option of a variable is acting wierd in web report

Hi,
I am getting the following error in web report when I click a select option button of variable. Has any of you come across this situation ?
Error: <b>"System error in program CL_RSR_WWW_RENDERER and form GET_VARDEF_FOR_F4:03 (see long text)"</b>
We are on BI 7.0.
The ABAP code in the above mentioned Class & method are in sync with a relevant OSS note 671405.
This is kind of wierd to me as it doesn't give any error when I run the same report in our QA Portal, It is happening only in our BW Production system.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

The OSS note you specified is for 3.x and you mentioned you are on nw2004s.
Whats the Support pack you on currently.
I saw couple oss for SP-8 and 9 for the error you mentioned howver ,I presume you should be minimum on SP-10 ,so those may not help.
You may wish to take a look at OSS below-
Note 1018019 - Hierarchy node selection without hierarchy in web F4(7.X)
PS- As a part of sanity check if your QA and PROD are on same support pack.
Hope it Helps

Selection Options feature for variable input in BEx in 7.0 version

Hi All,
We are currently in EHP1 BI 701 software version. We have queries in both 3.x and 7.0 version. The variable screen that we get when we execute the report in 3.x and 7.0 is different.
We have selection options in 3.x (We can copy and paste values (non sequential) from an excel sheet for example during variable input) but I'm not seeing the same in 7.0 queries.
Please suggest if it's a configuration/software issue or i'm missing something here.
Regards,
Vivek

Hi,
I would like to inform you that you will not get the same button as in 3.x . But when you open the F4 screen and then you have
to click on the More Button.
Two ways you can copies:
To past from clipboard follow these steps:
1. Click on the u201CMore >>u201D button.
2. Click on the right box to set the focus.
3. Ctrl + V.
To import from a txt file follow these steps:
1. Click on the u201CMore >>u201D button.
2. Right click on the right box and choose u201CUpload selectionsu201D option.
3. Select the txt you want to import.
All the values will be copied on the Right Pane.

Single select option in launch variables

Hi,
I am using hyperion 9.3.0 , i have written a HBR , but the problem is that the launch varaibles are giving multiple select option , how can i restrict the launch variable to have a single select option only.the launch varaibles are global varaibles. do i need to do some changes in the global varaible or the HBR and what changes would be required.thanks in advance.

Maybe you have set the variable to be members instead of type member.
Cheers

Creation of Dynamic Date Variables to be used in WebI reports

What we are trying to achieve is to create 4 optional filters (Current Day, Current Week, Last Week, Last Month) on 4 different dates which will allow the users to use them in WebI reports.
When using an optional SAP Customer Exit variable in BEx and creating a Universe on top, the filter becomes mandatory (i.e. the whole Universe is filtered by the SAP Exit, irrespective of whether the filter is used in the WebI report). Even if the filter is flagged as optional at the Universe level, it still behaves as mandatory.
If each filter becomes mandatory then we'll have to create 16 different Universes (for each optional filter and date combination)! This is not feasible.
I've seen in other posts that MDX Statements are not currently supported for Universes base on BW and SAP Exit should be utilized.
So with the existing BO version, is it possible to create optional dynamic date variables or is that a product limitation?
We are on XI3.1 SP3 FP3.1
Thanks

Hi Adam,
In BEx, I would create this query very easily using the "Amount" key figure twice in my results and restricting each with a different SAP standard out-of-the-box delivered variable. For your reference, the variables in BEx are: 0FPER and 0FYTLFP.
If I expose these variables in my OLE DB for OLAP query, they are not transfered into the universe, but rather act as filters on the entire universe. I've seen in documentation that only "Ready for Input" variables can be transfered as options into the universe which is not something that I have seen mentioned in this thread.
>> In the BEx Query you have the option to either make the variable "ready for input" or not. The behavior is the same in Bex or in the Universe / Web Intelligence. "Ready for input" means the user can actually provide an input and without the flag the user can not provide an input. Yes those variables are supported in the Universe.
Why this is a problem: I can't create separate universes based on potential variable periods that users might want to see. Additionally, many financial reports require concurrent use of these measures in the same report. Also, in reality it's not 2 variables, but dozens.
>> Which is a decision you make already on the BEx query level. if you decide that the variable is not ready for input then the user can change the timeframe in BEx either.
Also, I don't have a good way to mimic the standard out-of-the-box functionality given with BEx in BO. If I custom create all my variables in the universe, how do I do a lookup from the system date to the fiscal calendar that is stored on the BW server? In other words, how does BO know which date belongs in which period? (the same would be true with factory calendars for a different functional area).
>> Variable are created in the BEx query and the Universe will leverage those.
If you want a dynamic date range then EXIT variable as part of the BEx query - ready for input or not - is the solution.
regards
Ingo Hilgefort
The only work around I can see is to require users to enter the current fiscal period and have the BO reports filter based off that user entered value. This is unfortunate as the entire purpose of SAP Exit variables is to avoid having to require user input at report time.

Passing hierachy node variable from BW to BO Webi Report in open doc link

Hello All,
We are working on BW-BO integration and creating Webi reports based on Bex queries.
The question is regarding passing of a hierachy node value from BW to BO through open doc link.
I see that when we pass hierarchy node value, we have to associate that with the corresponding infoobject technical name in the link but not sure in what format it has to be sent.
For example, if ARM is the node value and 0HIERNODE is the infoobject , how should we send this value to BO.
Please help.
Thanks for your help,
Regards,
Tangudu S

You cannot change anything here. You should really find out how the values are retrieved from the database
THere is another option:
1) Activate the tracing on your BOBJ server
Check the following SAP notes (http://service.sap.com/notes) for that:
Unix: Note 1235111
Windows: Note 1260004
2) Run your WebI report from the InfoView by choosing first the desired hierachy node value from the LOV of your prompt.
3) Extract the MDX statement from the log file. It should contain the value for the hierarchy node. Copy this to the URL
It is easier to find this out if you have access to a Crystal Reports Designer installation. Do you?

Customer Exit Variable not working in BO-Webi Report

Hi All,
I have created a universe based on Bex Query.
Bex query consists of a customer exit variable on Calendar year/month where in it will populate current calendar year month by default while executing the query. It works fine while executing in SAP BI Bex Analyser.
I have created a universe based on the query. For Calender year/Month i got L00, L01, LOV values in universe.
Based on the universe I have created a Webi report. I did not specify calendar year/month as query filters. While directly executing the Webi report, I get the calendar year/month variable screen. But the value for it not populated based on customer Exit code written in BI.
What has to be done to get the customer exit values in variable screen.
Thanks for your understanding.
-- Selva

Since you have customer exit variable in your bex query, it will be like a global filter in your universe.
Execute the webi report and check whether you are getting only current month data.

BeX: Select option for the variable of the report in Portals

Hi Gurus,
In the variable selection screen of the BW reports, I have 'Employee Number' field tab. I have some 3000-4000 employee numbers in a file daily. Generally, I use the option "upload from a file/clipboard" in the multiple selection dialog box that you get after clicking the "more" button.
But the users report only in the Portals, where this option is not available. They do not want to use BeX reporting rather.
what should be done to achieve the same functionality in Portals ?
Any solutions or hints please....?
Points will be awarded.....

Srinivas

Hi Suresh,
Those values may not be assigned (OM,OS) to your profile , aas that vriable is Authorisation Process type , i belive u have to be assigned to them,
I hope it helps

Dimension variable shows two rows in Webi report

Hello everyone!
I want to build a report with the following structure:
Account group 1 | KYF 1| KYF 2
For this effect, I've created a dimension variable called "Account group 1" with a formula like "GL account starts with "64"".
With this I'm getting two rows: one with the correct value and another with the aggregated value of the remaining accounts.
How can I make this return only one row with the restricted values I want?
Best Regards,
Luís Andrade.

Hi Luis,
There are two ways to do it.
1. Simplest solution use a report filter by selecting the Account Group column and selecting the accounts.
2. If the above one doesn't work if the report refreshes and new accounts come in, the other way is create one more variable named group2 or something, as dimension and use an if statement where if account group = account starting with GL Then group1 Else NULL. now apply the report filter where group2 not equal to "NULL". Now you will not have the last row as before.
I think one of this should be helpful.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Selection option for variable entry in BEx in 2004s

Hi All,
Have any of you noticed that the selection option functionality for variable entry while creating a variable does not allow wild card entry,Even though you create the variable with selection option as input.
In 3.5 we had option the option "contains the pattern " but in 2004s its not available in the variable entry screen.

Hello Guys,
When I posted this thread we were upgrading to SP11, now I am in the middle of another upgrade (SP15) and I still notice that wild card option is yet to be made available for a variable of type selection option.
Back then I had sent a message to SAP and was told that the functionality would be rolled out in new SP's. I am very curious as too how others are handling this problem, as they are bound to be reports for which such variables are a must.
P.S - The option has been made available

Select Options, Report Painter

How can I create "Select Options" for a variable in the "General Data Selection" of the report painter screen.
Thank You.

If you specify selection parameters for several years and periods in a
    Report Writer or Report Painter report, the characteristics year and
    period are taken into account independent of each other.
    A report with the selections:
           From-year   :    1997
           To-year     :    1999
           From-period :     003
           To-period   :     008
    will hence select all the following data:
            003/1997 .. 008/1997, 003/1998 .. 008/1998, 003/1999 .. 008/1999
     This is the standard behavior of Report Writer and Report Painter
     reports.
     However, reports which directly display the data for the period
            003/1997 ............................................. 008/1999
     are required in some cases.
     You can achieve this in the report definition using the following
     procedure.
     Additional key words
     several years several periods GS274
     rolling periods, rolling
           SUPPORTGUIDE 20010330131459
     REPORTWRITER, SGRW_DOCU_CONS_NOTE,
     SGRW_OM SGRW_PS SGRW_PC SGRW_SL SGRW_PCA SGRW_EC SGRW_LIS
     Cause and prerequisites
     This is a standard behavior of the Report Writer.
     Solution
     A procedure is described below to implement the selection over a period
     of several years and periods. This is merely an example which should
     serve as a support for experienced users of the Report Painter and
     Report Writer when defining their own reports.
     1. Definition of auxiliary column 1: 'All-periods'
         Period:   0 ... 17
         Year:      From-year .. To-year
         000/1997.....................................................017/1999
         Definition of auxiliary column 2: 'Periods before'
         Period:   0 ... From-period - 1
         Year:      From-year
         000/1997..002/1997
         Definition of auxiliary column 3: 'Periods after'
         Period:    To-period + 1 .. 17
         Year:      To-year
         009/1999..017/1999
         Definition of the formula column:
         Formula = 'All-periods' - 'Periods before' - 'Periods after'
         000/1997.....................................................017/199
         9
         000/1997..002/1997
         009/1999..017/1999
                            003/1997............... 008/1999
         Hide the three auxiliary columns. The formula column now correctly
         shows the required period
                            003/1997............... 008/1999
Note:The new reporting table RWCOOM is also available as of Release 4.0
for reports which were, up to now, defined in table CCSS. RWCOOM
contains the characteristic FISCPER which represents a combination of
year and period. You can directly define reports over several years and
periods using characteristic FISCPER without having to follow the
procedure described above.
Please take into account that you cannot call reports via report
Interfaces in the formula columns (see Note 98187).

Select Option in APD

Hi All,
I am trying to create select-option for selection screen for extraction of criteria data into application server. Can I create selection-screen through "ABAP Routine" in APD?
If not, so how we can create selection-screen for the same?
Regards
Anukul

Hi,
One way I can think of is.
a.Create a table (or use TVARVC) which can store all selection options required by the User.
b.Create an ABAP report, which lets users enter the parameters and fill this table.
c.When you trigger the APD, an User Exit will read the table and fill the variable values based on User's Selection,
d.The output file will contain data required by the Users.
Alternatively, you can also considering triggering the APD in the same ABAP.

Advait

Report help for multiple Date Select options

Hi Friends,
For a particular year wise report, the client wants 12 date select-options which are changeable and informal every year .The report will also be displayed as per the given date selection period wise. Please help me how to fetch the datas from the table as per the given selection period. Currently the report have one date select-option where the user gives selection range as 1.04 to 31.03. It's related to EB power consumption report and hence the new requirement on date selection which are informal and not a fixed date of every year.
Ex:Selection-Screen
Period 1 : 08.04.2008 to 12.05.2008
Period 2: 12.05.2008 to 20.06.2008
Period 3: 21.06.2008 to 28.07.2008
Period 4: 29.07.2008 to 15.08.2008
Period 5: 15.08.2008 to 21.09.2008
Period 6 : 21.09.2008 to 14.10.2008
The data will derive as per the above selection ranges.......
Please advise with example.
thanks & regards
Sankar.

Hi,
In this case just derive all records matching dates between 08.04.2008 (low in first select-options) and 14.10.2008(high in last select-options.
Also my advice is to use a single select-options and prompt the user to give the dates as ranges in the multiple entries dialog which can be opened by clicking the button on the right side of the select-options.

Restrict Select-Options for Logical Database field

The way we restrict select options for custom defined select option fields on selection screen.. can we restrict select options for standard Logical Database fields?
i.e. report uses PNPCE logical database and has field called PERNR. I want to restrict select options for this PERNR field so that it has options for 'Select single values' only.
Thanks,
Falguni
Edited by: Falguni V on Nov 13, 2010 6:42 AM

You can user AT SELECTION-SCREEN event, and check whether any record is having high value for PNPPERNR.
