Uni on Bex-Query: filter on Structure - Without Keyfigures as column: error

Hi All,
I have a 'Without Key Figure structure' as a column called Version in which (amoung others) the values 'Actual' and 'Last Year' .
Thus
Version
- Actual
- Last Year
Now i want to create a filter in my universe which pre-selects Actual.
When I use the tool for that this is my standard definition of the filter:
<FILTER KEY="@Select(Version\Version)">
  <CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal">
    <CONSTANT VALUE="Actual"/>
  </CONDITION>
</FILTER>
However it results in error: 'A database error occured. The database error text is: (CS) "Error on BindCol". (WIS 10901)'
Meaning(i guess) that somehow i'm not getting the correct selection-command to the database,
When i use the version-dimension itself in the reports as part of the query filter it works fine and LOV displays both versions for selection.
We are using XI3.1 fp3.1; BW 701-sp5 on oracle 11
I've look through the forum, but couldnt find an answer.
If there is point me into that direction and i'll close this one
Any other information on how filters etc should be specified in an Universe on a BW query is also greatly appreciated.
I already have found some info but any information is welcome.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

I found my answer.
Create a caption dimension for your keyfigures and filter on thath
Dimension:
[xxkeycharacteristicxx].[caption]
Filter:
<FILTER KEY="@Select(Key Figures\Key Figures Caption For predefined filters)"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT CAPTION="VERSIONS like Actual"></CONSTANT></CONDITION></FILTER>

  • Report on BEx query with 2 structures (one in rows and one in columns)

    Hi, experts! I have to make Crystall report on BEx query with 2 structures, one in columns (with KF's), and one in rows. Is it possible to create such report? Because when I create such report, I cant see fields in structures, only characteristics fields.
    Ok, I found samr problem in another thread. Sorry.

    Hey Flora,
    Happy to hear that its working now.
    Answering your question, again its upto the connection and report format you are using. Based on your question i hope you your report output should be like this.
    You cannot map to two labels for the series, again this report format is possible only in cross tab through Webi. I would suggest you to concatenate the material and month in a dimension in webi like below.
    I have done the concatenation in excel level, i would suggest you to do that in webi. Try to reduce the formula as much in excel.
    or
    If you are using Query browser connection, then i would suggest you to create a separate report which will display the actual vs plan material wise, here you need to pass the material as a prompt.
    Hope this helps in clear, please revert me for any clarification.

  • Bex Query Filter Page in BSP - Urgent Please...

    I have seen many threads about Bex query in BSP, but can any one tell me how can i display the default Bex Query Filter page in BSP.
    I created a query in Bex Query Designer and added few filters and when i execute i get a popup where i can enter the input values for which the report would be generated, can i get the same functionality or similar functionality if i have the same Bex query in BSP.
    Also apart from the filters specified in the Bex, all the columns displayed in the report appears in the filter section how can get the same functionality BSP.
    Note: I do not want to use Bex Web Application Designer
    Please tell me the steps for the same.
    Atleast please give me the steps at a high level. Please...

    Hi,
    1.  Create a CKF, inside the CKF window create a new Formula Variable --> Right click in left side window on var and say create new Variable
    2.  Create new variable of replacement path type and reference Characteristic as the TO DATE value which you want to be max.
    3.  Now drag this new created var to CKF and save.
    4. Now create condition with follwoing deatils:
    Key Figure              Operator     Value
    Max Date(CKF)       TOP N          1
    Save and execute your query. This will give you max value for the To Date field.
    Hope it works .

  • Error MDDataSetBW.GetCellData on Qaaws if BEx Query contains a structure

    Hi everybody!
    I'm getting an error every time I executy a query on a universe based on a BEx query which contains a structure. This query works good if it carries data, but when no data is returned I get the following error:
    Error in MDDataSetBW.GetCellData.
    By the way testing the MDX in MDXTEST it display no errors, only the empty dataset.
    After doing a few tests I can assume this issue is related to the use of a structure in the query.
    Have you got any solutions/suggestions please?
    Thanks

    Ciao Roberto,
    thank you very much. Actually I wasn't using the "xml document" mode in MDXTEST, and switching to that analysis I've got this message: "Object MEASURE 0 not found". But the MDX is like this:
    SELECT  { [D9S9GS5IZK94F9FA2E29EF6DU].[D9S9GS5IZK9W3VR1DXHVGUKNM] }  ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN(  { [0CALYEAR].[2010], [0CALYEAR].[2011] } , [D9S8VDQFWXBZTTTIT5KETFV2Q].MEMBERS ), [0VTYPE].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0PLANT].[LEVEL00].MEMBERS ) DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, [0VTYPE].[20VTYPE] ON ROWS FROM [ZCEMPBC/ZCEM_GENERAL_YTD] SAP VARIABLES [!V000001] INCLUDING [ZBUSINESS].[GCEM] [!V000002] INCLUDING [0COUNTRY].[DK] [ZCUR_SEL] INCLUDING 1
    So, I don't understand that message. What "MEASURE 0" stands for?
    Thanks.

  • BEX query: filter is not displayed in one of the users

    Hi,
    We created a BEX Query with a Month/Year filter.
    When I run the query with my user, it's working ok (photo 2).
    When I run it with another user, the filter is not dislayed (photo 1).
    I've checked the role with PFCG, bit i don't know what it's misssing. The infoarea, infocube and name of the query are included in the PFCG, as well as the activities: execute, visualize, etc. (Photo 3).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advanced!!

    As my guess  your issue will authorization related one.

  • BEx Query via ABAP Programm (without Querydesigner) ???

    hello friends,
    is there anybody who knows a solution to gernerate a BEx Query without using the BEx Querydesigner, with ABAP coding, only!? I´m looking for a solution, whre f.e. the customer selected character, keyfigures and selections in an external applikation (maybe ms excel) and from there an ABAP programm takes the information and generate a BEx Query?
    I´m not sure if these considerations could be come reality, but maybe there is a solution, or some ideas and input from your side!?
    thx...

    hi anass,
    thx for your reply. Yes i know this feature, but this isn´t a solution for my tasks. Becaus I need a "regular" query at the end of the process, which i can implement in an WAD template. and on top I need the queries for BW IP planning applications, so the tool must generate planning queries with input ready cells.
    I think these facts and many many side effects like variables, hierachies, structuredefinions and so on, will destroy my "dreams" of such a 'query-generating-tool'. probably a very easy query will be a problem for automatic generation, because there are many sap tables where the queryinformation will be stored, with id references, and so on...

  • Virtual Character in Bex Query / Filter by Attribute

    Hi ,
    We have a query where we need to resrict the query result by a character at run time. I think this is done by using virtuual characters with user exit RSR00002...Here is our requirement. We have the PCA query with Cost element heirarchy (Revenues & Expenses as nodes and several other sub nodes available) as the report out put and when we drill down by cost center user wants to see the result of blank cost centers only for Revnues but not for Expenses.
    If this scenerio is not possible by virtual characters, I have a display attribute in Cost element where Revenues always have type 11 and Expenses have 1. So I need to exclude the cost center blanks for cost element type 1....But I'm not sure how to achieve this. Can any one advice if this is better to do in Info cube level / Bex query level...
    Thanks

    Hi,

  • GetSelectedMember does not work on BEx Query Structure

    Hi
    Has anyone seen the following behaviour:
    I have a BEx query
    I created a design studio application that accesses the BEx query
    The application displays a column chart. When you select a column, it 'jumps' to another tab that displays the detail in a table.
    I used the following std. script
    DS_DET.setFilter( "ZBCFLG005", CHART_1.getSelectedMember( 'ZBCFLG005' ) ); 
    TABSTRIP_1.setSelectedTabIndex(1);
    My issue is: when my Bex query uses a structure as a source for the chart, then getSelectedMember does not seem to provide the selected structure value (member) i.e. a simple structure filtered by characteristic ZBCFLG005.
    However, when I change my BEx query by removing the structure and simply reporting the characteristic ZBCFLG005 in the rows, then getSelectedMember works i.e. provides the selected structure value (member).
    How do I get Design Studio to read the member value from the BEx structure or is this a potential bug?
    Thx

    Hi Stephen,
    I do not think this is a bug, I have used characteristic structures quite extensively without having an issue.
    Are you using setfilter against a characteristic or against a characteristic structure?
    In your example, you are using a characteristic in both, to filter from, and to filter to:
    DS_DET.setFilter( "ZBCFLG005", CHART_1.getSelectedMember( 'ZBCFLG005' ) );
    But if you use a characteristic structure, you should also use it also in bith from and to, e.g.:
    DS_DET.setFilter( "00O2TG4C8BB5D9L8PYOLHP7N8", CHART_1.getSelectedMember( '00O2TG4C8BB5D9L8PYOLHP7N8' ) );
    Best regards,

  • Problem with Queries Structures in Bex Query Designer and Universe Designer

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem when i try to do a Universe from a Bex Query Designer.
    When I use a Characteristic Restrictions in a Structure, the universe only show me the structure without the objects inside it.
    EJ:
    1) Bex Query Designer
    Colunms
    (Structure) ZSRT_123
                          - (Characteristic Restrictions) Reg Guayana
    >          (InfoObject)     0Product = 'XXX'
    >          (InfoObject)     0Country = 'YYY'
         - (Characteristic Restrictions) Reg Caracas
    >          (InfoObject)     0Product = 'AAA'
    >          (InfoObject)     0Country = 'BBB'
    Rows
    (Structure) ZSRT_456
                   (Key Figure)     Net Sales
    2) Universe designer
    (Class) ZSRT_456
    >(Measure)      Net Sale
    (Class)     ZSRT_123
    >(Dimension)      ZSRT_123
    The universe dont translate the two Characteristic Restrictions in the structure ZSRT_123.
    Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi,
    I assume that you are using BOE XI 3.1 SP2.
    We have added an option in SP2 to generate or not the L00 level.
    Unfortunately this option applies not only on characteristics but also on hierarchies, hierarchies variables and structures: that's the reason why you have no elements belonging to the structure generated.
    I recommend to always generate L00 in order to have your structure generated correctly.
    This issue will be fixed in SP3.

    Didier

  • Cascading LOV in BEx Query OLAP Universe + BEx variable

    Hi gurus,
    we have an universe where a Cascading LOV has been defined based on a BO Hierarchy ( based on a BW hierarchy), the OLAP universe is based on a BEx query.
    Now, when the users create a WebI report selecting a value from the value list, the Cascading LOV appears and the user selects the value, descending by the nodes.
    We are analyzing the universe performance and we are testing to add some time BEx variables in the query ( in the current version no variables are used).
    Everything works properly but when we try to select a value from the Cascading LOV and try to select a lower level the webI returns a mdx error indicanting that the time variable is not informed. (WIS 10901: A database error ocurred; MDX query can not be executed: specify a value for the variable Z... )
    We thought that the mdx for the LOV get values from the MD table because in the infoobject definition, it has the Business Explorer Settings:
       Query Def. Filter Value Selection = Value in Master Data Table
       Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn  = Value in Master Data Table
    The Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn  can be defined at the infoprovider also (with the provider specific Properties of the infoobject) and also at the query, whe have not modify none of them.
    My first question is which settings has efect at OLAP Universes, the infoobject settings; the infocube settings or the query settings ?
    Are the Cascading LOV integrated with BEx Query OLAP Universe?
    Is it an application error?
    Many Thanks in advanced.
    Best Regards,
    Nuria

    Hi Ingo,
    many thanks for your quick answer.
    That was one of the possibilities we have analized but the problem is that the user has to inform the hierarchy level for all the reports, that kind of variables is translated in the universe as a prompt
    Now we have only one universe and some business analists users create reports themselves for the business area based on that universe.
    The users create WebI filters without prompts,just filtering the hierarchy node. If we add the BEx variable then the user sould inform the prompt for all the reports based on that universe.
    We want to avoid that prompt, we have several hierarchies in the query for different infoobjects.
    Thanks again.
    Best Regards,
    Nuria

  • Keyfigure has value in BEx query, but shows zero/0 in Webi

    Hi community,
    I have the following issue with a Bex query with 2 structures:
    in Bex, the budget column shows figures right. but in Webi, it shows zero for certain profit KPIs (calc. keyfigures, CKFs).
    only for these KPI cells, it is not a general issue with that budget column!
    in the Bex cell editor, I have created cell references for these profit KPI cells, but that should not be relevant.
    As SAP cannot connect to our BO Webi via OSS properly, I would like to address you.
    anyone had a similar situation or solution?
    every hint is appreciated! Many thanks and
    best,
    Phil

    Hi Ingo
    I am also currently meeting such a problem.
    I have Cubic Meter stored in my cube and my BEx query. Also, in my BEx query, I have a unit conversion to convert Cubic Meter to Cubic Feet.
    In WebI, when I pull out both Cubic Meter and Cubic Feet, Cubic meter returns me 0, while cubic feet returns me a figure.
    Below are the settings of the BW & BOBJ system:
    SAP BW SP6
    BOBJ SP2 FP2.3
    Hope to hear from you soon.
    Thanks!

  • Bex Query prompt

    Hi Experts,
    I have added End_date(zc_edat) in bex query filter panel and restricted with characteristic type variable Authcode End date( Ref char is zc_edat).
    Now the requirement is i want the same field (zc_edat) in query filter panel restricted with charcteristic type variable Expiration date (Ref char is zc_edat).
    So there will be 2 fields in the prompt, one is restricted with authcode variable and other is with expiration date.
    Please guide me how to implement this. Thanks is advance.

    Hi Dinesh,
    We can restrict the same characteristic with two types of elements
    by adding as many in your selections.

    The SSO works correctly on Analysis for OLAP.
    The Authentication used is the SAP authentication.
    Thanks.

    That's what we're doing in our 4.1 instance as well.
    After a lot of troubleshooting, it looks like our problem is related to the SSO set up itself.  We set the OLAP Connection to Pre-defined, entered the SAP credentials of one of our developers, then saved the connection.  We were able to refresh existing reports and create new reports without any issues.  We changed the OLAP connection back to SSO and received the same error message as in OP when we tried to select a BEx query.
    I'm going to go through the entire SSO set up again.  There was a BW hotfix applied throughout our environments, thinking it might have messed something up. 

  • SAP BW BEx query - WEBi MDX query

    Hi Experts, have we had some discussion on this?
    Does MDX query send by WEBi report to BW use the same program to extract data from BW database?
    One of the option for WEBi report source of data is to build Universe on top of BEx query. Could you share how this process actually happen.
    I think
    - WEBi query will pass parameters that is relevant for BEx query filter of the universe
    - the BEx query will then extract the data (following normal process if we run BEx query independently)
    - if WEBi has further filtering, it will then get the BEx result above and filter it further ..??
    So, how is MDX query come into the picture?
    Or is it:
    - WEBi query and the BEx query will determine what MDX query will be generated, and this MDX query will then fetch the data.
    But why BEx query extract data faster then MDX query?
    Sorry, i am new to this. hope someone could share some light here. In the meantime i continue to real those documentation and try to get some more ideas of what is actually happening.
    Thanks.

    Hi Thanks a lot for pointing this out.
    Did i understand it correctly that BEx query is using a different set of program (platform) to retrieve data compare to MDX query, and not MDX uses those program that is used by BEx to retrieve data from BW database and have extra steps on top of that?
    Can anyone share what is actually happen WEBi MDX query is executed (how the database is hit with SQL, and what are the tools to evaluate the efficiency of the WEBi (or the used BEx). As for BEx we have RSRT to analyze it right.
    And even to test the MDX query using MDXTEST and try to get the data from WEBi report, i found WEBi report still take considerably a lot longer. Why is this so? just because BO is a different system then BW?
    And as it's shared the BO 4.0 is using the same platform as BEx to retrieve data from BW database, does this mean we don't need to care about MDX usage in BW anymore as far as BO data extraction concern?
    Thank you very much.
