Selection of Values in Free charcteristics

Hello,
Can some one please help me with the below:
Our users are asking if they can pass fixed values in to filters with in the free chracteristics of a web report. For example, the user runs a report and he has to select 70 Materials from the filter where we have around 3000 Materials.
Another user has to select 40 of his materials from the same 3000 Materails. Like wise each of the user delas with particular materials which are of his area. They are now complaining that it is very tough to select their materials from the list (3000) every time.
What is the best way, that each user can select his own list in the filter of free characteristics.......Like using an excel to upoad his list or book mark etc....It is likely that materials will change for the user and so book mark may not be very helpful.
Can you please suggets as how I need to go about this?
Regards,
TRA.

Yes,
Execute the report.
It will display the variable screen.
Doesnt matter about the value range though the material number is not in the range.
Just click on the Arrow icon and it will open a small window.
bottom you can see the icons for delete, paste, cancel etc.
Just click on paste icon after copying the material numbers from Excel file.
It will paste all the copied material numbers in selection screen.then execute it.
Regards
M.A
I think with out variable there is no other way you can make it easier.

WebAn: select filter value on 0plant gives error (but works fine for other)

Hi all,
have something strange in the web analyzer:
i have a query with 0plant in the free characteristics
when I do 'select filter value' when it's in the free characteristics -> dump
when 0plant is in the rows and I do 'select filter value' -> dump
when I do 'select filter value' on 0customer that is in the free characteristics -> works fine
In the BEx Analyzer it works fine...
Anybody an idea?

Hello,
Is it a 7.0 system? maybe the RSTT trace as per note 899572 can give you more information about this error.
Thanks,

@Max : The above hack seem to work fine unless you assign a 'DEFAULT' value to the selection fields.
@OP   : Here is an other work around, however, this approach needs an additional effort to create
    new PF-STATUS('MYLIST') and assign a function code of your choice to the function keys in the standard toolbar and handle them in the 'AT USER-COMMAND'   event as shown below. Let us know if you have/find any issues with this.
PARAMETERS:
p_test TYPE char5 DEFAULT '123'.
AT USER-COMMAND.
CASE syst-ucomm.
    WHEN 'MBACK'.
      SUBMIT zytest WITH p_test = '' VIA SELECTION-SCREEN.
ENDCASE.
START-OF-SELECTION.
SET PF-STATUS 'MYLIST'.

Select Filter Value

This is an on-going performance issue that I am bogged down with. The best idea would definitely get 10 points and all the other great ideas will be well rewarded for sure! Please help...
The reports on our system run very slow (15 minutes on the average) though our cube has just about 10 million records. What bothers the user the most is that even when they go for "select filter value" on any of the "free characteristics", it takes 10 lazy minutes for the selection screen to show up. We have indices created on the master data and the SAP indices on the Cube dimensions are supposed to be good enough for faster query/selection screen retreival especially when the number of records are just 10 million. RSRV test came out to be fine on DB and cube indices. Any great ideas to improve the time it takes to bring up the selection screen?
Regarding the general query performance, we already have query cache and several aggregates in place. We use BEx, so how effective are the reporting agents on top of these? Please provide some knowledgeable comments to improve the general query performace as well.

The Select Filter Value time almost certainly has to do with the F4 options you have set for those InfoObjects. You can change this for the the InfoObject, or change the setting just for the cube using the Structure Specifc Settings.
Depending on the setting, using F4 for an InfoObject may simply read the Master Data, or it actually interrogates the the master data and the cube to see what values exist, or actually looks to see what values would be available given all the other query criteria. So as you can imagine, the response time of the options can vary a lot.
As far as query performance in general, try searching this forum, you'll find lots of threads. Also try SDN's Performance Tuning Knowledge Center.
I'm assuming you regularly compress the cube(s). Have you verified the aggregates are being used most of the time and confirmed the the value of the aggregate by comparing explain plans.
A lot of issues may relate back to the data model you are using. You can look at adding secondary indices on some of the dimension tables of you have some large dimensions that get receive full table scans because the BW system built index does not relate well to the query restrictions that are actually used.

Select filter value..not opening..query hanging

Hi,
I have a queary and it is executing fine. After executing it is displaying data fine. I have company code and two more characterstics in free characterstics section. After executing the report i am doing right click at company code in the excel sheet and selecting the option 'select filter value'. It is then opening the small screen 'selection for company code' but it is not displaying the values. It's keep on running and after some time it is hanging (not responding).
In the company code object hardly there are 60 values. Can anyone tell me why this is taking long time and result in hanging for just 60 values?
This company code object is Authorisation relevant checked in the 'Business Explorer' tab. There is a variable used for this comopany code in the query design and this variable is processed by authorisation. But i dont think this is the reason for the issue. If this is the reason could you please tell me how it effects? Please suggest me the solution.
Many Thanks in advance
K

Hi MA,
Thanks for your immedieate reply.
In the business explorer tab for which one you are asking to change the settings?
Is it for   'query def. filter value selection'
                          OR
             'query execution filter value selection'?
The current status is:
Query Def. filter value selection is 'values in Master data table'                 &
Query Execution filter value selection is 'only posted values for navigation'.
This is not cube but this is ODS. For ODS where do we set DB specfic settings?
Thanks in advance

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. Can I fix this?

I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

Select-option value is not getting captured in at selection-screen on value

In Selection screen , we have Select-option and a parameter.
Based on the values given in Select-option, the values of Parameter should get populate.
To achieve this functionality,
I used At selection u2013screen on value request for <parameter> EVENT and 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' Function Module.
But the Select-option values are not getting captured in this event,unless u press Enter key.
Is there any other way to achieve this functionality.
Please Guide me.

When you call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'. make sure you send it the name of the screen variable - the F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST function calls DYNP_VALUES_READ itself if you tell it the name of your report, screen number, and the variable name... snippet below.
Jonathan
data:
    l_repid             type syrepid.
l_repid = sy-repid.
call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
    exporting
      dynpprog         = l_repid
      dynpnr           = '1000'
      dynprofield      = 'S_FIELD-LOW' "Select options - low value

Selecting multiple values from a search help

Hi Experts
Anyone knows if it is possible to select multiple values from a search help?
Thanks
Gaurav

Hi,
You cannot select mutiple values from search help as it is linked to inputfield and hence it will accept single value only. But at the same time, you may able to pass row of values to different inputfields.

Select all values from field in LOV

I need to create a LOV in Discoverer that works as follows: I have 4 values in a dimension, but I want the user could select another value, something as 'all'. This value includes the values in the dimension table and any other value in the relationed fields.
For example, I have four values, A,B,C and D. But I want to add another value, 'All' that matches this four values as any other one. How can I do that?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Javier,
When you create a parameter, you have the option to let the user to enter multiple values. Therefore, if you have a LOV, the user can select one or multiple or all values.

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

How to create a multi column list item and select these values from a LOV

Hi all,
My requirements are:
1) create an LOV which holds the productno, productname and productprice fields (this is working)
2) at run time, select one record from LOV and populate the list/grid with this selected record values of productno, productname and productprice fields, so we are showing them on the form in the form of a table/grid (not working)
3) be able to select multiple records from LOV and be able to populate the list item with multiple records (not working)
4) have two more columns in the list/grid, for productquatity and total price (not wokring)
Please help me.
how can i create this grid or list in oracle
whats the possible way of acheiving this in oracle

If you use a list item to display multiple columns then you'll need to use a fixed-width font. You can achieve a similar look with proportional fonts by using a normal block and setting the fields' bevel to 'None'.
Each column in the LOV has a Return Item property (under Column Mapping Properties). Set this to a :block.item reference for each column to bring the data back into those referenced fields.
You can't select multiple records from an LOV. For this you will need to create your own form. Check the help for system.mouse_button_modifiers to see how to respond to Ctrl+click and Shift+click.
To add columns just modify the LOV's record group's query.

How to select multiple values from the parameters in BI Publisher report

How to select multiple values from the parameter drop down in BI Publisher, and how to handle this mulitple values from the report sql...

Hi kishore,
I have used all the steps as you mentioned in your previous reply....including checking Mulitple Selection Check Box..
Iam able to get the results when I am selecting one value..
and also I am able to handle multiple values the in the query by using IN :Parameter, but seems when we select more than one value from the parameter drop down i think the Bi Publisher is sending the values in concatenated form something ilke
ex: "'ACCOUNT','HR','SALES'" ,and when trying to display the parameters values in the output, its throwing the error as 'missing right paranthesis' ....on the whole do you have any solution which would handle
1.Single selection.
2.Multiple selection.
3.'ALL' Values.
4.Separating the concatenated string into individual strings and dispaly them on the output of the report..etc..in case of Mulitple selection.
Ex:
Concatenated String from BI Publisher:"'ACCOUNT','HR','SALES'"
Expected Output on the report:ACCOUNT,HR,SALES
reply to this would be much appreciated....
thanks,
manoj

How to select multiple values from the Parameters in the concurrent program

How to select multiple values from the Parameters defined in the concurrent program...and i believe multiple selection is not a direct feature of EBS, but is there any workaround solution to acheive mulitple selection?

I think there's no way to do that using standard feature.
Some workaround I use :
1. If the number of selections are fixed, you could use multiple parameters for the same valueset. For example :
Selection1 : <choose first selection>
Selection2: <choose 2nd selection>
..etc.
If you don't use it then leave it empty.
2. Use text varchar valueset and enter it manually and separate by comma (or other value) , eg : selection1,selection2,selection3....etc.

How can I get selection screen values from outside of program?

Hi. all.
Now. I'm developing moritoring systems and I have problems. for getting selection screen values in runtime. Is there any function, methods or structure to know this?
I'd like to get selection screen values while several programs working in runtime and update these values to table to show current system's status and input values for users in real time.
For example.
Now. 3 PGMs are working on systems.
each PGM is ZAAA01, ZAAA02, ZAAA03.
and ZAAA01 needs input parameter P01, ZAAA02 needs input parameter P02, ZAAA03 needs input parameter P03.
In this case, I have to know values of P01, P02 and P03.
The mornitoring systems will show current working status of PGMs(ZAAA01~03)' and these PGMs' input values.
As fas as I know, the structure 'SCREEN' can be used in each PGM for runtime. Is there any SAP system structure or something else for this purpose?
I hope your hopeful repsponse.
Thanks.

Umm..I need to explain more about this.
of course I know SET, GET PARAMETERS.
But I'd like to minimize coding for each PGM level.
I have over hundreds PGMs and I have to develop the PGM(including tables and structures) that mornitor
all of those PGMs on a report in real-time.
This PGM is kind of Process Manager.
First I should know dialogue job PGM and background job that pass parameters using SAP(ABAP) Memory.
And then I have to update those PGMs' input values via screens into tables in real-time.
So, I couldn't use SET,GET PARAMETERS for this PGM.
I want to know methods that can be used for getting information about runtime PGMs' selection screen field values in SAP systems wide.
Please help me some one knows this.
