SEM-BPS: Variables of type hierarchy node user exit

Hi,
I read the "How to.." document "Variables of Type Exit".
This document has example for variable type caracteristic.
I need to use this kind of solution for global variables:
I have the same variables in several planning areas. I have defined one leading area containing the variable that should automatically set/adjust the corresponding variables in the other planning areas.
I've created a SEM variable of type hierarchy node and with the replacement type user exit. There is a standard function module API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_GETDETAIL which has to provide the selected hierarchy node in leading area to other areas.
The function works ideally in test mode, but it doesn't work as the SEM user exit.
Does anyone have experience in this problem?
Thanks

Your function module shall follow the expected interface (required for exit type). Function API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_GETDETAIL is not for such usage.
To see an example FM that is fit for a 'user exit' processing for hierarchy node, have a look at FM UPF_VARIABLE_USER_EXIT_HIER. There is inline documentation in the source code that shall help you create your own FM if required.
cheers,

BW-BPS Variables of type hierarchy node - user exit

Hello,
I created a variable SEM of type hierarchy node and with the replacement type "user exit". So I created a function to fill this variable and I don't find the right type for import and export parameters of my function. I have a dump : CALL_FUNCTION_CONFLICT_TYPE in the method GET_HIE_NODES
Thank you for your help.

Hello,
For your information :
the input parameter has the type UPC_YS_HIE_KEY and
the export parameter the type UPC_YT_HIESEL

How To ... BPS Variables of type exit

Dear All,
I am reading the How To ... BPS Variables of type exit sap document.
On chapter 3.3.1 step 10 to 12 it's explain how to populated variable, and check user exit action to display one value in fonction of an other one.
Unfortunately on step 11, when I click on F4 I got nothing. I can't enter value.
Would you please let me know if the system should be configured in a particular way ?
Thanks

Hi Luminy,
If you have followed Step 2 with 2002 then you would have got that at f4

BPS Variables of Type Exit (How To Document)

Hello,
I'm trying to restrict entries for (say) variable #2, based on the selection of variable #1.
I've just realised characteristic relationships cannot be used and need to use a user exit. I've gone through the "How To" on BPS Variables of Type Exit and have gotten the function modules to working properly.
However when the function module attempts to pass the data to BPS Variable #2, BPS gives an ERROR saying that in order to write new values into variable #2, the variable must have a replacement path "USER DEFINED VALUES".
However this is not possible as the replacement path must be set to "USER EXIT" so the function module can be activated.
The only way around this is to tell the function module which BPS Variable it should choose to write the data to, if so does anyone the ABAP to store values into a BPS Variable.
Right now would appreciate any comment on this.
Kind regards,
Marinos

Hi Marc,
Yes, the How To paper answers my problem, and when I run the program via se37 the correct variable selections are being populated in table ETO_CHARSEL. However when values are passed to the BPS Variable, the first information message read "The Conditions were Adapted" but no values are passed to the variable. Then a second error message "Entry not possible, var does not have replacement type user-spec vals." This seems to be a conundrum as the variable needs to be set as user-exit.
Any thoughts?

SEM BPS Variable

I have created a BPS input screen for users to enter data that will end up in a transactional InfoCube. I've created the Planning Area, levels, etc and it all works fine. When I am in BPS0, in the layout, I have fiscal week in the header area. So when I execute the planning screen, I have a popup box that ask what fiscal week I want to enter for. What I want and have done is to create a variable that looks at the system data and determines our fiscal week. I put this function module (date_to_period_convert)in the planning area and when I execute it in test mode, it returns the fiscal week. However, when I try to have this function module populate the fiscal week field on execution, I get nothing.
Again, I am just trying to pre-populate a date field based on the system date.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hello Keith,
Could you please verify if I get your problem right:
You have created a variable type User exit. When testing (in se37) the function module used in the exit returns the proper week. Now you use the variable in a planning level. In this planning level you have a layout and the calendar week is in the header of the layout. When executing the layout the calendar week is not filled. Is that your set up?

SAP BW SEM-BPS Variables

Hi All,
We are upgrading SAP BW SEM-BPS system from 2.0B to 6.O, in this process i need to collect some information as like below from tables,
like BPS Variables----- UPC_VAR ,
planning sequence----- UPC_PROFILE_BU
planning folder(Web)---- BPS_WB
planning folder(GUI)---UPSPM
BPS variable exit--UPC_VAR_EXIT
respectively, but these tables like UPC_VAR,UPC_PROFILE_BU etc are NOT there in my system ( SAP BW SEM-BPS 2.0B), So can anyone please suggest me alternative table name OR tell me where can I get aobve information like (BPS Variables, Planning Sequence etcc. ).
Thank you,

Hi,
I need to collect same information.
Will you share it.

Using BPS Variable of Type Authorization

Hi,
I have tried to use a variable of type 'Authorization' to effectively control the access of a certain set of users for certain version of plan data.
Example: User A can have access (change) to both plan version 01, 02
User B can have change access to version 01 and only display access to version 02 of plan data.
I am trying to have both the version displayed in the single layout (web as well as excel).
I couldnt find detail info on this, any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
Authorization variables are not the appropriate option to restrict display/write access for the scenario you mention.
My suggestion would be to create 2 layouts. In one layout the users can write to both the versions and in the second you can have the option to write to version 1 and display version 2.
You can then have authorizations set on these layouts to restrict access.
Hope this helps.

Hi!
I had the same problem during this user exit run.
When load failed a new dump DBIF_RSQL_INVALID_CURSOR appeared.
My problem appeared because system was loosing cursor during a SELECT...ENDSELECT run.
I made my SELECTs smaller and everything become fine.
SDN gives some notes:

SEM-BPS Variable buffer clearing issue

Hello experts,
I have a situation where my user wants to use BPS functionality to perform direct data entry and validations. I know it's not standard, but that's not the point.
How do I clear the variables buffer so that each time the user enters the plan layout they are requested to enter fresh variables to determine the selection combinations?
Is there a function module?
What tables store this info?
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!

I guess I'll answer my own question.
There are two tables I've found that holds variables they are as follows:
UPC_VAR_CHA_SEL - Variables - Selections
UPC_VAR_CHA_ACT - Variables - Restricted Values
A function module was created to read these tables and delete the values, based on the userid, hence causing a refresh.
The function module needed to be executed in the planning folder on 'save'.
This has worked fine.

SEM-BPS Variable with exit function

Hi,
this is my problem. I use a variable for period and I increment the variable dinamically in a sequence of execution. When I try to read the variable with a exit function, the function is only called the first time and return ok the value, but the next time the function not called and the value is returned from the buffer (I think this, because always is the same value).
How can I change this? I need to my function return the variable value, because is changed.
Thanks.

Hi,
thanks for replys.
I think the problem occurs after update the patch level to level 15. This is the code of class_constructor in class cl_sem_variable:
method CLASS_CONSTRUCTOR.
data ls_dark type upc_dark2.
select single * from upc_dark2 into ls_dark
where param = c_param_dark_buffer.
if sy-subrc = 0 and ls_dark-value = 'X'.
m_buffer = 'X'.
endif.
endmethod.
The flag m_buffer is always X and for that reason my the value of the variable is read from the buffer and the exit function for read variable isn't called.
What do yo think about this?
Thanks.

BPS Variables of type Exit Problem !

During processing using the default settings,
if i change values of a variable internally it do
not change the set of variable values that are displayed after the initial execution of a WEB planning
application.
Refresh is KO after a new choice of variable.
I append a record to table upc_dark2 with param=
WEB_REFRESH_ON_CHANGE and value=X. : refresh always KO
I have tested with l_buffer_call = 'X' and with l_buffer_call = ' ' ---> always KO
Is-it a problem of buffer ?
Is-it dependent of leading ?

Hi Dieu,
Thanks for your reply, but the main purpose is to limit the number of options available to the user. If I start at level 3 all options will be available to the user.

Exclude a hierarchy node by using exit variable (not in query designer)

Hi gurus!!
I have a hierarchy for the infoObject 0COSTELMNT. Depending on the user who executes the report, the node '0599ADJUSTMENTS' must be displayed or not.
I am trying to solve it by using an exit variable:
Varible Type: Hierarchy Node
Processing : Exit
On the exit, I have entered the following code:
      IF ( sy-subrc = 0 ).
          l_s_range-sign = 'E' .
          l_s_range-opt = 'EQ' .
          l_s_range-low = 'AJUSTES'.
          APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
     ENDIF.
But unfortunately does no work!!
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Regards.

Creation of Variable for Hierarchy Node

Greetings...fellow matez,
 I am using Characteristic "0PROFIT_CTR" : PROFIT CENTER
 Here, I created used SAP Standard variable 0N_PCTR (Profit Center/Profit Center Hierarchy)
 This meets my requirement of allowing User to Input the TOP MOST Hierarchy Node basically means my Hierarchy.
 Now, what I need is the ability of a User Input/Key In Variable to ask for a specific Node of my Hierarchy instead of just the 'main' hierarchy
Let me demonstrate with an example :-
At the moment, I have a variable defined for "0PROFIT_CTR". So, I am able to choose "XXX GROUP" as my hierarchy.
Now, under this "XXX Group" I have several Sub-Nodes like XXX-Functional Groups ; XXX-Business Units; XXX-Subsidaries.
How can I create a variable which prompts for this Subnodes of my hierarchy ?

Matez,
Issue remains unresolved.
What I need is a Hierarchy - NODE variable for my "Profit and Loss" Hierarhy
But, when I use the variable option in the 'Selecting Variable for Hierarchy' scree, I only get to choose my Hierarchy instead of my Hierarchy Node.
How can I created a variable of type Hierarchy-NODE instead of Hierarchy for my characteristic "0Account"
Kindly advice matez!

Hierarchy node variable - successor node data not displayed

Hello,
I have a query with a hierarchy in the rows section. This hierarchy is restricted by a hierarchy node variable with the following settings: variable type hierarchy node; customer exit; single value; mandatory; not ready for input; cannot be changed in query navigation.
The customer exit correctly supplies the node. However, only data for THIS node is displayed in the query results. And data for successor/underlying nodes is NOT displayed.
I tried several things, including:
- rightclick Rows > Display as a Hierarchy
- customer exit variable: multiple values instead of single value; optional instead of mandatory
In the Hierarchy Attributes for the hierarchy, nothing is checkmarked, except for Root/Totals Item Appears Above and Drilldown start level = 00. The hierarchy and its nodes are valid from 01.07.2005 to 31.12.9999.
I have a feeling in what area the solution can be found, but I have no clue what to do further on with it. As a test I replaced the customer exit variable with a user entry variable. If I then execute the query, I can select either the node or the value (both with the same technical value!). If I select the node, I get all data, including data for successor nodes. If I select the value, I only get the data for the node, not the underlying successor nodes. For some reason, the customer exit variable behaves like the latter and not like the first. I do not know how to solve this.
I would greatly appreciate if you could help me out of this issue here.
Kind regards,
Frank

Hi,
no, it doesn't. It just returns the data for the node and not for the underlying nodes.
