Sort the values in Bex query variable screen

Dear Experts,
Is it possible to sort the values of a dropdown list for variables on BEX variable selection screen ?
For example, For calender month selection, the values are by default sorted by ascending order.
Is it possible to sort by descending order ?
Regards,
ravindra

Hi Ravindra,
yeah it is possible by writing an abap code for the field calmonth/week...etc this is depends on the F4 help of the selection field. so you need to write a code for F4 help for making it in descending order. hope it helps.
Thanks,
Vachan

Bex analyzer variable screen input ready?

Hi Experts,
If we open a query in the Bex analyzer (BI 7.0 netweaver 2004s), it seems only possible for us to enter variables in the dialog screen after the pushbuttons Ctrl + K for each variable. Is it possible to change the default setting in the BEx analyser variable screen, so that the variables are ready for input (without the ctrl + k)?
In the SAPhelp information, only the following information is provided.
Prerequisites
In the BEx Analyzer, you have executed a query that contains variables and you want to change or personalize one or all of the variables in the query.
Procedure
1.      In the analysis toolbar, choose Change Variable Values or in the menu, choose BEx Analyzer ® Change Variable Values.
The Select Values for Variables dialog box appears. Follow the instructions to select a value to assign to the variable.
2.      Specify a variant name and values for the variables for which you want to change the current values.
Switch to display mode or use the pushbuttons Ctrl + K to enter values.
Kind regards
Dennis

Hello All,
We have a similar issue only in 2004s query designer when we execute a query via the web. We have the variable set up to accept multiple single values and we can pick multiple single values and add them, however, we cannot paste a list of, for example, personnel numbers from an excel spreadsheet into the web selection box to add multiple single values at one time. Does this functionality exist?

WebI Prompts using BEx Query Variables

Hello,
I have the following issues with WebI report selection input paramaters (prompts) that use BW BEx Query variables. Could anyone please assist?
Issue 1:
The WebI report has one mandatory and two optional input paramaters (all paramaters from BW BEx Query). When I execute the report via WebI rich client directly, enter the value for mandatory input parameter and leave blanks for both optional input parameters, the report ran OK and has no issue. However, when I ran it through CMC a strange thing happen: I could not select the value for mandatory input paramater as it requires to have values for both optional input paramaters first (which I wish to have them blank and optional). When I refersh values for the mandatory paramater, it says "List of Values for current prompt requires values for following prompts:...(ie. the two optional parameters).
Anyone has any idea - it seems like it is a CMC issue for the WebI...
Issue 2:
Take the same WebI report above, the issue here is the order sequence of the prompts (ie. the selection input parameters). How can we change/control the sequence of the prompts? Whatever sequence of the varaiables (input paramters) in BW BEx Query, the WebI ignores it. Please advise.
Thanks & Regards,
Andy

I did not see separate thread for issue #1, therefore I'll us this thread.
I am running into similar issue when I get an error message ''List of Values for current prompt requires values for following prompts: <Name of the prompt>".
We are using BO V4, SP2, Patch 10 with SAP BW as DB via BEx queries.
I opened support ticket for this issue since obviousely it's still an issue after applying patch 10.
It's not an issue when 'Rich Internet Application' option is selected to view report in 'Reading' mode (via Launchpad Preferences then Web Inteligence; defautl value for viewing is 'Web').
I have not tried to use Client tools but even if it works with Client tools - it is not a solution for us. Our company does not plan to install client tools on end user computers.
Bigger issue us is that report scheduling invokes Web version (not Rich Internet Application). Therefore we cannot schedule report that is giving us problem described. I tried scheduling report from Launchpad and from CMC and both game me error highlighted.

Dynamic filtering with BEx query variables in WebI 3.1

Hi experts.
Can anybody help me ?
1) I use BEx query variables in WebI 3.1 . But i can't understand how to order fields of selection screen in WebI reports
2) How can i use Dynamic filtering with BEx query variables in WebI 3.1 ?
It's need that list of second field on selection screen will be accoding to result of selection first field on selection screen and so on .
Need i use BEx user-exit variables ?
Thank you

Hi,
1) Variable sequence isn't respected in XI3.1 - and can't be modified in OLAP.unv (this enhancement exists in 4.0 )
2) Dynamic filtering? Yes, Exit routines are the best way to go for this.

Hi,
I am using a CMP query in websphere, in which i am trying to execute a select query.
The query is as follows:
SELECT OBJECT(o) FROM HrTmmbrAct o WHERE o.tmmbrActC IN ( 1,2,3 ) AND o.effD BETWEEN '2000-02-11' AND '2008-02-22'
The tmmbrActC is defined as a string in the Websphere CMP fields. I am not sure now to pass the value to it. Do we need to pass it as objects. pls help.
Thanks

Read the value of user input variable during calculation of virtual char

Hello
Virtual characteristics is populated in custom BAPI based on values specified by user in the variable screen.
How to read the value of user input variable outside the user exit for custom variables?
The one way is to create faked user exit variable, read the value of user input variable in corresponding FM and insert it into table. Then value of this variable will be derived from the table.
Thanks

How the Drill down functionality works if the source is Bex Query

Dear All,
How the Drill down functionality works if the source is Bex Query through the query browser in Dashboard 4.1
Please let me know process.
Thanks
Regards,

Hi sai,
Drill down can be done by two ways.
1. you need to bring all the data in one shot to the spreadsheet and then by using the components you can achieve it. Below given link explains in detailed about that.
Filtering Through Combo Box
2. you can use different set of query to pass the value from one set to another to fetch the data using the prompt. please check the below which explain them.
Difference between "When value Becomes & When value Changes"

Problem setting the value of a substitution variable in a calc script

Hi, All.
I'm trying to update the value of a substitution variable inside an IF statement and I'm having trouble.
Here's the code:
*"Jan"(*
IF (LoopCounter = 1) &varEntity = "100";
ENDIF;)
the error I get back from EAS is:
Error: 1200336 Error parsing formula for [Jan] (line 54): [(] without [)]

I know CL knows a lot about HBR, if he's around today... LOL
As a matter of fact, I just used an HBR (not using Calc Manager till I have to)'s macro functionality to drive fx for different Scenarios in a Planning app. Here's how I call the macro:
          /*     Call the macro mcrFxCoreOutYears for the four fx rate types for ALL 12 months of the year.     */
          FIX(&BudYear)
               %mcrFxCoreOutYears(Constant)
               %mcrFxCoreOutYears(Comparable)
               %mcrFxCoreOutYears(Estimate)
               %mcrFxCoreOutYears(Actual)
          ENDFIXI pass the Scenarios Constant, Comparable, Estimate, and Actual to the macro mcrFxCoreOutYears. You can apply HBRs against Essbase.
I believe (I can't remember what exactly -- is it that templates don't accept parameters? That seems hard to believe. Looking at a CM template, that does seem to be the case. Bummer if I'm right.) that Calc Manager BRs have less functionality wrt templates, but I haven't worked with CM for over a year.
It works really well -- a single place to maintain code and no appreciable performance cost.
You cannot launch a HBR from a MaxL script but HBRs can be launched from command lines -- this may constrain where you place your automation (it basically has to run off of whatever the EAS server is. You may end up shelling out of MaxL to execute the HBR or even execute scripts across servers -- that does get more complicated.).
Anyway, if you have any more questions, ask away -- it really is a very powerful component. I will have to look at CM more closely (sooner or later I will lose the HBR vs CM argument and at least need to know if templates support parameters) to see if I'm right on what I wrote above.
Regards,
Cameron Lackpour
P.S. You cannot define an ARRAY in an HBR macro because ARRAY arrayname[value] gets read as a parameter. I ended up declaring the array in the calling HBR.
P.P.S. I really need to write up the fx approach in a blog post -- it is wicked fast and really easy to use. Too many other posts in the queue already.

Can I Access the Value of a Global Variable in a Trigger

I'm using a Global variable in a Package which i use in the BIU Trigger to populate a column. After assigning the value for that global variable, I run an INSERT in the same package. But I find only the default value of the Global variable populated in the column. Can I use a Global Variable in a Trigger? Is there any way to put in a common value across all the tables in an application for all DMLs of a particular session?

Helios,
I'm already having the same setup mentioned in the thread. And I'm doing exactly whats given there. But the issue seems to be something different. I'm assigning the value to the Global Variable in the Package through Apex. Here's the Package Code:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE Schema1.SPMS_SECURITY_PKG
AS
X_app_user_id NUMBER DEFAULT -1;
FUNCTION USER_ID RETURN NUMBER;
END SPMS_SECURITY_PKG;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY Schema1.spms_security_pkg
AS
FUNCTION user_id
RETURN NUMBER
IS
BEGIN
-- RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20001,'USER ID'||'*'||X_app_user_id);
RETURN NVL (x_app_user_id, -1);
-- RETURN NVL (sys_context('USERENV', 'CURRENT_USER'), -1);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
RETURN -1;
END;
And Here is the Trigger Code:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER Schema1."USER_DETAILS_TRIGGER"
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE
ON PMS_SICAL.SPMS_USER_DETAILS REFERENCING NEW AS NEW OLD AS OLD
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF INSERTING
THEN
:NEW.created_by := spms_security_pkg.user_id;
:NEW.created_date := SYSDATE;
:NEW.START_DATE := SYSDATE;
ELSIF UPDATING
THEN
:NEW.updated_by := SPMS_SECURITY_PKG.X_app_user_id;--spms_security_pkg.user_id;
:NEW.updated_date := SYSDATE;
END IF;
END;
But I always get -1 in the both in the table after the DMLs.

Using Javascript function to change the value of a request variable

Have a javascript function that activates onchange within a form variable. Would like the javascript function to change the value of a request variable.
The javascript function is able to obtain the current value of the request variable ( which is 0 ) however I am unsuccessful in changing the value to 1.
I have been trying to use the following:
var vchange = 'request.changes_made = 1 ;' ;
eval(vchange);
Any ideas?

If the user makes a change to the content of the form, and then attempts to leave the form, a javascript alert pops up giving the user the option of cancelling the submit, returning to the form and saving it.
If there have been no changes, then the user is free to migrate to another page.
This process is to protect users from losing valuable information but not to annoy them with "R U Sure" messages.
Knowing the status of the form content is important to the functionality of the application.

Setting the value of a java variable in javascript function

How can i set the value of a java variable in a javascript function?
<%
String fName = "";
%>
now i want to define a javascript function which can set the value of fName to the value it has been passed.
<script language="javascript">
function setJValue(val)
</script>
Thanks

The only way you could simulate this, would be call the same page inside the Javascript function, and send it the parameter that was passed. Then you would have your Java code retrieve this parameter by request.getParameter("value");, and set the variable accordingly.

I want to assign the value of a Javascript variable to JSP Variable

I want to assign the value of a Javascript variable to JSP Variable .. for example :
<%
Bla Bla Bla
%>
<script>
var JavaScriptVariable="hello"
</script>
<%
String JSPVariable=// The Value of JavaScriptVariable ;
%>
How can i do that ??
Thanks

>I want to assign the value of a Javascript variable to JSP Variable
cannot be done.Friend try to understand concepts properly Javascript is always excuted by the browser @clientside where as JSPCode is executed Websever(ServletContainer) @serverside.Through you are combining JSP Code blocks(Tags,Expressions,scriptlets...) & javascript under a single page webserver can only identify what is their under JSP Code blocks.
Hope this could be an appropriate answer for your question.
However,you can as well submit a request by encoding your URL with request parameters and the submit to the page and then collect it using request.getParameter(name).
But under a single context state it is not possible

Sorting the values in Map

Hi,
In my application, i want to use Mapping in the case
Key -Value
A - 2
B - 3
C - 7
D - 5
For that I used HashMap. But I want to sort the values and place in map as from Highest order. For that in google it is suggested to refer SortedMap. But this SortedMap is sorting the Key content only not Value content.
For sorting the Value's what I have to do under Collection?
Any idea?

From this I want to fetch q whose value is greater. How can I do this?
Hope this explains better.You still haven't said how often you want to do that. What I explained will work, but it might not be what you want if you often change values.
