Timeout on input help for variable

hi all,
in a selection screen of a report i have material and material type(navigational attribute of material) as input.
the report is built on cube.
only material is coming in cube.
when i click on input help for material type the screen hangs on the report times out.
whereas on the other hand if i am clicking help for material i am getting the values.
this variable is used in other queries on different infoprovider and is running fine there.
How do i get the values for input help for material type.
all the standard settings have been maintained(such as query filter selection etc...)
regards,
Arvind.

Hi,
Activate 0material masterdata.and Regenerate your query in RSRT.
If the problem still exists then debug the query using RSRT for the perticular field output.
Thanks

Sort values in input help for variables

Hi there,
Users often get annoyed by the input help in our web-reports. As the data in the InfoProvider grows, the variable values in the input help screens gets over-populated.
Often old values (eg. 0CALMONTH) are displayed first and users have to scroll trough 8 blocks of values before they get the value they are looking for.
It is kind of a practical issue, but does any of you know how to sort the values in the input help screen?
Kind regards,
Hans de Klein

Hi Hans,
I can suggest you one way but i am not sure it will work in your scenario.
Where ever you have used variables. Lets say 0CALMONTH.
You must have restricted this with some variable.
Goto The Property of 0CALMONTH(By right clicking) and check the sort property.Also select you want to sort on Key/Text.
Hope it helps.

Restriction of input help for BPS exit variables

Hello,
In BPS 3.0b, I created BPS variables with user exit in order to restrict the values in the input help of a characteristic (related to the value selected by user of another variable for example).
In IP, I know that BPS variables are not used anymore and we have to create BI variables. But I don't know how to restrict the values of an input help in BI. I tried with the user exit RSR00001 but I didn't manage.
may be is there a possibility to reuse BPS variables ?
Thank you for your Help.
Catherine Bellec.

Hi Catherine,
could you please show me a sample how to restrict the input help for a variable in the user-exit?
Thank you in advance.

Static input help for DATS type

Hello,
I'd like to link static input help for screen field of DATS type. If I click on help linked to this screen field I get CONVT_NO_NUMBER error: 'Unable to interpret "=2" as a number.'
My steps:

- I defined global variable with same name as desired screen field
What's the problem?
Best regards,

now choose date form it , and say ok, now save it and activate it.
delete the old one..

HOW to Restrict the input Help for 0MATERIAL in the BPS Layout

Hi,
I have requirement to Restrict the input Help for 0MATERIAL in the BPS Layout.
For Example if the Planning Package is Restricted to SALES ORGANISATION ( 3000 ) then the system shuold check the 0MAT_SALES where SALES ORGANISATION IS "3000" )AND PASS THE Material Numbers to the 0material list.
I have Copied the standard Funtcion group "UPF_VARIABLE_USER_EXIT" to Z fucttion and have attached to Z Variabe as User Exit .
this Variable is Attached to 0material in the Planning Pakage. So tha now the 0MATERIAL is restricted to the variable which is having the User Exit.
But how to acces the Values of Planning Package for which the Layout is bein Executed from this Z User Exit ???
I Know how to restrict the input help, but my only problem is that how to get the values of Planning package through this User Exit.
Please suggest if it is possible.
Regards,
Nilesh Labde

Hi Nilesh,
As I understand from your question,you know how to restrict but the issue is to know the value in the package with which you need to restrict.
There are two tables which can help you finding the value used in package for sales organisation:
1. UPC_PACKAGE
2. UPC_OPTIOS
How to use ?
From UPC Package you will get one GUID, Hit the second table UPC_OPTIOS with this GUID.
In field "FIELDNAME" enter the name of the characteristic whose value is req (sales organisation in your case)
Hope this helps you

We are using SRM 4.0 with backend ECC 5.0.
Input help for attributes cost center (CNT), WBS element (PRO) are not functioning.
When tried to search for input help (F4) on the above attributes, I am getting message "Display not possible (Inconsistency in the input help)".

Selection-screen: Input help for VTWEG

Hello!
Can anybody help me with the following problem:
I have two select-options (VKORG and VTWEG) on my selection screen. Now there should be the possibility to restrict the values shown as input help for VTWEG after having selected a value for VKORG.
I've already tried to do this by using a matchcode object but for VKORG and VTWEG I was not able to find suitable search helps.
In my opinion this should be possible without using the "AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR ...". If not, it would be interesting to getting to know your approaches to this task.
Thank you in advance!

you can refer to the following code
and you can write the code in the same way as per your requirement

Input Help for TIME type field

I saw below discussion regarding a dropdown for a "TIME" type field.
Re: Time Search Help
It's a resuable component (that Thomas Jung created) and find it very slick.
I just couldn't make it to work. I'm getting a dump when I pressed the dropdown on the "TIME" field.
I was wondering, has anyone used this in conjunction with select-options (WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS) ?
I'm getting a system-dump, "Component usage VALUE_HELP does not exist". I double checked the name that I used on the "USED COMPONENT" tab and it is VALUE_HELP.
During method ADD_SELECTION_FIELD (for IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS) I'm using two parameters I_VALUE_HELP_TYPE = 'APPLDEV' and I_VALUE_HELP_ID = 'VALUE_HELP'.
Maybe I'm not using the right parameters ?
Anyway, I would appreciate if anyone could give me directions to correct the problem.Or maybe there is another and better way of having an input help for a "TIME" type field on select-option.
Thanks.
Vic

That is because the TIME is a freely programmed value help and freely programmed value helps are not supported by the Select-Options component. That limited is listed in the online help:
Type of input help specified as type IF_WD_VALUE_HELP_HANDLER.
Note that only ABAP Dictionary-based input help and OVS input help are supported; freely programmable input help is not supported.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/45/bf07361248003de10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
The reason for this is that the freely programmed value help is accessed via a component usage. The Select-Options however are a separate component. They have no declaration to your components, component usages. Therefore they produce the error that the component usage doesn't exist - which is correct. It doesn't exist in the Select-Options Component.

Drop-Down-Box (F4 Input Help) for formula variable in BEx Analyzer (BI 7.0)

Hi Gurus,
is it possible to get a drop down box for a ready for input formula variable in the BEx Analyzer (not BEx Web!)?
We want to let the users choose scaling factors 1, 1000 or 1000000 (implemented via this formula variable). In the settings of the formula variable you can only choose a default value but there seems to be no option to provide all three factors in a drop down box like the ones for characteristic value variables.
We could prevent other entries in the variable pop up via customer exit (i_step 3) but the business is wishing an F4 input help like the ones for characteristic values.
Thanks for your help,
Marco

Hi Macro,
Its not possible to get drop down box for a ready for input formula variable. Because it is possible only for characterstic value variables but not formula variable.u donnot get any drop down box like ready for input for formula variable.

F4 input help on Variable screen is not working on Portal

Dear Experts,
We are facing one issue when we run the WAD report on portal, variable screen gets hang after clicking on input help button (F4) for couple of variables. We are facing same issues when we run the base queries on portal. But when we run the same base queries in RSRT (Tcode) or in BEx Analyzer we are not facing this issue and able to get the input help screen with values.
I also have gone through some old posts related to such issues but didn't help much. We are already on SAP BW 7.4 SP Level 008 and for Char IO Query Filter Value setting is kept as "Values in Master Data Table" only. This is a MD IO with Compounding.
Kindly let me know if anyone has faced such issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Nilesh

Dear Martin,
There is a no long running work process in the backend and data volume is more in Master Data Table, there are around 19 Lacks records available.
For BI Java patch and defaultTrace for errors I will check it with BASIS Admin team. Unfortunately I don’t have rights to do same.
Thanks,
Nilesh

F4 Input Help in Variable Screen takes about 30 Minutes to display.

Hello Experts,
We have a web-report in which the time taken to display all the entries in F4 Input Help of the variable screen takes about 30 minutes. Have anyone experienced so long a wait time while accessing F4 Input Help in the variable screen and is there anything that we can do to reduce this wait time.
Thanks
Arvind

For BEx Web 7.0 make sure you have the attributes suppressed in help with the instructions from note below:
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1144979
Also apply the optimizations provided in the notes below:
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1374724
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1379804
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1266510
Also you could try changing the read mode of the F4 help depending on the size of the cube and MD tables.

Disable input help for a webdynpro field in ESS

I need to disable the drop down capability of a field in ESS (field is "Bank Key" available in the ESS page "Bank Information"). So I need the field to stay visible and ready for input... I just want the input help to not show up (the entries in the input help are not applicable to the user and they confuse them). how can I do that?
Tiberiu
Edited by: Tiberiu Sasu on Apr 27, 2010 11:25 PM

Just throwing ideas around...
you could create a custom field which is of the same length as bank key - but no value helps etc assigned to it. Add this into the CI_append structure of the bank details structure used by ESS.
Then in the inbound and outbound mappings - UI conversion class BAdIs move the bank key to and from this plain text field and into the "real" bank key field.
You could then "decorate" the iView with the additional customer field and hide the standard bank key field.
Sounds like a lot of bother! But depends on how much you dislike modifying standard WD Java apps (personally I'd put that in the definitely worthwhile basket - maintenance after support packs on WD Java is not fun!)
Cheers,
Chris
