Sorting of input variables

Hello everybody,
I have still problems with the sorting of input variables.
I know that it is possible to sort the input variables for the selection screen with the sorting screen (query Properties).
For a special query I built a currency conversion type. This currency conversion type now contains three new input variables. These input variables are not displayed in the sorting screen for the input variables. I cant influence the sorting of this variables in the selection screen. unfortunately the sorting looks verry confusing. -.-
If you have any idea how I can solve the sorting problem i would be very thankful. =o)

Performance issues with query input variable selection in ODS

Hi everyone
We've upgraded from BW 3.0B to NW04s BI using SP12.
There is a problem encountered with input variable selection. This happens regardless of using BEx (new or old 3.x) or using RSRT. When using the F4 search help (or "Select from list" in BEx context) to list possible values, this takes forever for large ODS (containing millions of records).
Using ST01 and SM50 to trace the code in the same query, we see a difference here:
<u>NW04s BI SQL command</u>
SELECT
"P0000"."COMP_CODE" AS "0000000032" ,"T0000"."TXTMD" AS "0000000032_TXTMD"
FROM
( "/BI0/PCOMP_CODE" "P0000" ) LEFT OUTER JOIN "/BI0/TCOMP_CODE" "T0000" ON "P0000"."COMP_CODE" = "T0000
"."COMP_CODE"
WHERE
"P0000"."OBJVERS" = 'A' AND "P0000"."COMP_CODE" IN ( SELECT "O"."COMP_CODE" AS "KEY" FROM
"/BI0/APY_PP_C100" "O" )
ORDER BY
"P0000"."COMP_CODE" ASC#
<u>BW 3.0B SQL command:</u>
SELECT ROWNUM < 500 ....
In 3.0B, rownum is limited to 500 and this results in a speedy, though limited query. In the new NW04s BI, this renders the selection screen unusable as ABAP dumps for timing out will occur first due to the large data volume searched using sequential read.
It will not be feasible to create indexes for every single query selection parameter (issues with oerformance when loading, space required etc.). Is there a reason why SAP seems have fallen back on a less effective code for this?
I have tried to change the number of selected rows to <500 in BEx settings but one must reach a responsive screen in order to get to that setting and it is not always possible or saved for the next run.
Anyone with similar experience or can provide help on this?

here is a reason why the F4 help on ODS was faster in BW 3.x.
In BW 3.x the ODS did not support the read mode "Only values in
InfoProvider". So If I compare the different SQL statements I propose
to change the F4 mode in the InfoProvider specific properties to
"About master data". This is the fastest F4 mode.
As an alternative you can define indexes on your ODS to speed up F4.
So would need a non-unique index on InfoObject 0COMP_CODE in your ODS

Input Variable in BO Webi Report

Hi,
We have BW-Query and have defined BO Webi-Report using Universe on this query.
When we execute BW-Query direct in BW, we can see all plants from
master data table in the input Variable (Input help/F4).
When we execute BO-Report in BO, it shows only plants in the input variable, for which there are transaction data
in InfoCube. I expect here to see all plants from the master data table (like BW Query).
Is it normal? Or is there some other issue?
Thanks

Hi,
as the webi report will contain only transactional data anyway (webi MDX statement will ask for non empty records), this is the normal behavior what you are experiencing.
What settings do you have on the infoObject, on which you have the variable set?:
-Query Def Filter Value Selection
-Query Execution Filter Val. Selection
There you should be able to choose between "Only Values in InfoProvider" and "master data".

Formula variable with replacement path to another input variable

Hi @ all,
i have a question regarding "Formula variable with replacement path to another input variable".
My Problem is that in selection screen and for info-fields the input variable is shown with its key and not with its description.
Scenario:
A formula variable (X) is used to get an input value of a characteristic variable (Y) for 0Fiscper3 to realize a IF-Then scenario.
The formula variable (X) uses replacement path by variable (Y) replace by "key".
In selection screen of the query variable (Y) is named with its key "ZAB_BUPE01" and not with its description " fiscal period". Same as for info-fields where the description is "ZAB_BUPE01" and not " fiscal period".
Does anybody have a solution to display the selection variable correctly?
Regards
Tobias

Issue Solved!
The input varaible (y) for 0Fiscper3 was saved globally on the InfoProvider. This results in that the formula variable with replacement path only shows its technical name. I put the input variable in the query itself and it soved the problem. The variable is displayed with its description in selection screen.

Calculations on customer exit using input variable

hi,
suppose i have a date input variable on my query, and i want to use the input value as an input for a calculation to be done in a different characteristic variable whose value is derived via a customer exit. how could this be done?
as an example - i have an input date field, and say, the user enters 1/15/2005. the other characteristic variable is, for example, sales for a given date, restricted against a characteristic variable (customer exit) which should restrict the KF to say, the start of the month of the input date up to the input date (in this case, 1/1/2005 - 1/15/2005).
thanks in advance. =)
ryan.

Hi Ryan,
you have to use parameter I_STEP = 2 in your exit (IF I_STEP = 2. (...))
This second step is called after the processing of the variable pop-up and only for those variables that are not marked as ready for input and are set to mandatory variable entry.
Build your second variable in this way and then you can use this step to see first (pop-up) variable value.
For details see www.service.sap.com/bw -> SAP BW InfoIndex -> Variables -> How to... Derive a Variable value from another variable 2.x (pdf).
Hope it helps (and please don't forget to assign some points by clickin'on the yellow star to the contributors that help you !!!)

Invoking a LiveCycle process with multiple input variables using REST

Hi all,
A simple scenario brushup:
I have an LC process that takes as input 2 parameters:
- formID
- formXML
The user starts out with an empty interactive form and fills out some info in this form. In the end he/she clicks submit and now I want to invoke my process to create a flattened form from the XML just entered in the interactive form.
The process returns a flattened form with the data merged with the XDP template referenced in formID. Simple as that.
What I basically need is to do something similar to the following in a LiveCycle Designer Form:
------------------------------------Snippet from http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/10.0/ProgramLC/WS624e3cba99b79e12e69a9941333732bac8- 7fe5.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
<html>
<body>
<form name="input" action="http://localhost:9080/rest/services/RestTest3" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
Doc: <input type="file" name="inDoc">
String 1: <input type="text" name="inListOfStrings" value="hello">
String 2: <input type="text" name="inListOfStrings" value="privet">
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
------------------------------------End snippet from http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/10.0/ProgramLC/WS624e3cba99b79e12e69a9941333732bac8- 7fe5.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Now my question to you is (hope you can help out here):
How do I invoke this process from my form using the REST endpoint - I need to specify 2 input variables for my process. One string (formID) and some xml (formXML). How is this done in Designer?
Thanks in advance

Use of Input Variables in SQL-Queries Sometimes Not Possible

Only in simple SELECT-statements the use of input variables ([%0], [%1], etc.) work without problems.
In more complex queries the use of these variables is not possible (e.g. SELECT-statements with sub-queries, sometimes when UNION is used - but I couldn't find any general rule when the problems will arise; sometimes two different queries with the same query-structure behave in different ways when these variables are used).
In these cases the query is not executed - not even the input-window to enter values into the input variables is displayed. The query stops with some strange error-messages in the status line. These error-messages doesn't have any relation to the actual query - sometimes it refers to field-names never used in the query or refers to syntax error which do not exist.
If the input variables are replaced by constant values there are no problems so there can't be any syntax errors - the only difference is the presence or absence of input variables.
Example:
provided that the queries have a certain complexity
SELECT ...
FROM ... OINV Tx ...
WHERE ... Tx.DocDate >= [%0] ...
does not work,
SELECT ...
FROM ... OINV Tx ...
WHERE ... Tx.DocDate >= '1.1.2007' ...
works!
Does anybody have run into the same problem and now if it is a bug of SAP-BO or an error on behalf of the user? Does anybody know a way to correct the problem?
Thanks in advance!
Frank
By the way: Are there any rules where exactly input variables can be used in a query?
Only in SELECT-statements? Where there exactly?
In statements outside of SELECT?

Only SAP Partners Can access service.sap.com/notes, but I think it is possible to search in them from the customer portal as well.

The following query is an example for how to define variables in long
queries rather than using "Fixed Declares".
You need to use exactly the same template as follows, do not delete
"comments" from this query.
The only changes you need to do :
1. In the first and in the fifth rows you need to select the table to which you would like to relate the variable e.g. in this example, the variable is related to the table VPM1 - 'Payments to Vendors - Rows'.
2. In the fourth and in the eighth rows you need to select the field to which you would like to define the variables e.g. in this example, the variable is the field 'DueDate'.
/SELECT FROM [dbo].[VPM1] T0/
declare @fromdate as datetime
/* WHERE */
set @fromdate = /* T0.DueDate */ '[%0]'
/SELECT FROM [dbo].[VPM1] T1/
declare @tilldate as datetime
/* WHERE */
set @tilldate = /* T0.DueDate */ '[%1]'
select OVPM.docnum, VPM1.dueDate,VPM1.CheckNum, VPM1.Branch,
VPM1.BankCode, VPM1.CheckSum, OVPM.CardName,
case
when OPCH.docnum is null then VPM2.docEntry
else OPCH.docnum

from OVPM INNER join VPM1 on OVPM.docnum = VPM1.docnum
left join VPM2 LEFT JOIN OPCH ON VPM2.DocEntry = OPCH.DocEntry
on OVPM.docnum = VPM2.docnum

Using SAP Business One Survey Variables (parameters) in a 'Set' SQL Statement can give an error in the Query Generator.
For Example:
Declare @Num as numeric(2)
Set @Num = [%0]
Select T0.DocNum
From ORDR T0
Where DocNum = @Num
Other terms
query, SQL, parameter, survey, variable, query generator, set, declare, [%0], table, error, SAP Business One
Reason and Prerequisites
FAQ
Solution
In such cases you need to put in an SQL remark statement a reference field in the DB for the Survey Variable (any field).
For Example: (to make the above query work)
Declare @Num as numeric(2)
Set @Num = /* T0.DocNum */ [%0]
Select T0.DocNum
From ORDR T0
Where docnum = @Num

Date Format for the input Variable

Hi all,
I got an issue with Date format we enter in the input variable screen for the BEx Analyzer.
We have given a format of MM/DD/YYYY. But when the users accessed the report, it is not taking the format of the variable i.e MM/DD/YYYY but it is taking the format of the users system.
If the user's system format is DD/MM/YYYY, it is accepting the input inthe same format only.
Why this strange behaviour?
My questions are
Is the input for BEx system specific? or variable specific?
Rgrds
Kumar

Hi,
I think it is user specific... you can maintain the date format for user ....
Go to SU01 transaction or.. Go to SYSTEM -> User Profile -> Own data
Here in defaults tab you can see the date formet for user...
Hope this helps...
Thanks,

Variable for navigational attribute affected fiscper input variable

Dear Friends
Initially, the query is having an input variable for fiscper. The query was able to run properly.
When i add a input variable for a navigational attribute to the same query which is based on multiprovider, the fiscper input variable is no longer seen.
So, I removed the global filter for the navigational attribute and it is ok again. I fixed a value for the navigational attribute at filter level is also fine.
Please advise what could be the cause. Thank you so much.
Best regards
Bass

Hi Bass,
Again seems to be a strange issue, if you have two independent characteristic with two different input enabled variables then there is no reason for the variable to not to show up on selection screen.
Once you add the new variable and save the query just make sure that you have earlier variable as it is and check the query properties popup and see the fiscper variable sequence in the variable list.

Durgesh.

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

Display input variables in BEx workbook header

Hi forum,
I created a global BEx workbook template and would like to display the input variables (user entries) in the header section. On refresh of the workbook, this section should be updated with the new input variables. I am on BEx 7.0 and already experimented with text elements in the Design Mode of BEx Analyzer. However, you can only select general filter values, not specifically variables.
On release BI 3.x the Visual Basic function SAPBEXshowTextElements(selectgroup, ...) was available. You could set selectgroup to "V" (show variables only) and retrieve the variable values.
However on 7.0 this function does not seem to work any longer.
Do you know how this can be achieved in BEx Analyzer 7.0?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi,
1) Keep variable in default values in Filters.if u keep variable in default values user enterd value will be displayed in workbook filters.
2) Open workbook and go to design mode.
3) Delete the header text item and also delete the header picture bar.
4) Write report name in "A1".
5) At the end of report name (say H1or I1) use this excel formula =Replace(old text,start_num, num_chrs, new_tex).
With this whenever user changes the variable value will be changed in report header.
Hope it is useful.
Thanks,
Ashok
