Update variable value from Web Item Drop Down Box

Hi Experts,
My issue is that i have dropdown on Characteristic 0EMPLOYEE so when ever the user enter the template restricting with a costcenter then the the list of employee will be displayed but when user restricts the template view to a employee using the dropdown then can we pass the employee restricted in dropdown box to a variable in Planning function.
Regards,
Raj

Hi Raj,
You can do the following.
1. Create a filter on your aggregate level. Add 0Employee to the filter. Create an user input variable (ZV_EMPLOYEE) on 0Employee which will be used to hold the values entered by the user.
2. Assing the above created variable to the 0employee in filter.
3. In the planning function (FOX), create a local variable for 0Employee . Eg. DATA VAR_EMPLOYEE TYPE 0EMPLOYEE.
4. Assign the variable value passed by user to this local variable in FOX
VAR_EMPLOYEE = VARV(ZV_EMPLOYEE).
5. If the employee count is more use FOREACH statement in the FOX. like FOREACH VAR_EMPLOYEE.
6. Creat a planning sequence which will have the same filter and the function.
7. You can also use the same filter in your plan query as well, so that the data set remains same.
This will solve your problem. Please writ back in case any clarification is required..

How to get values from a multiple drop-down box.

On my first page, I have a multiple drop-down box as the following code.
<select name="selInterMethod" class="textbox" multiple>
<option selected value="CH">Chicago</option>
<option value="NY">New York</option>
<option value="SF">San Francisco</option>
</select>
On my second transaction page, I need to save "CH-NY" into my Database column: city if the user selected Chicago and New York.
How can I accomplish this in JSP?
Thanks for your help.

I figured out the solution. Here it is. FYI
String inter_method = "";
String Inter_Method[]=request.getParameterValues("selInterMethod");
     if( Inter_Method.length > 0 ) {
          for (int i = 0; i < Inter_Method.length; i++) {
               inter_method = inter_method + '-' +Inter_Method;
          inter_method = inter_method.substring(1,inter_method.length());
          System.out.println("trx inter_method = " + inter_method);

Web template - Drop Down Box options - Issue

<b>Requirement:</b> We need drop downboxes for Fiscal Period and Version in our web template. When the query is run, users will choose one fiscal period and one budget version (there are multiple budget versions - 1. Original Budget, 2. Revised Budget 3. Consensus)
After the query is run, users should be able to see data for any of the past 6 periods and any of the budget versions. So in the drop down list for fiscal period, he should see previous 6 periods and in the drop down for Budgets, they should see all the budget versions.
If the read mode is set to "Posted values", then only the values user chooses for the variables at run time will be shown. If the read mode is set to "Dimension table" it'll show all the available periods from the transactional data, which is unacceptable. We also tried the option "Can be changed during Query Navigation" but it will not work the version drop down box as it'll show all the available versions (actual, plan, forecast along with the different budgets)...
So, is there any other way of solving this issue? By any Javascript?
<i>This is what I did for the Fiscal Period drop down, but then the solution is not complete.</i>
For the Fiscal Period variable, I created a new variable and checked the option "Can be changed during Navigation". Then the drop down will be populated with all the possible values. This is how the Fiscal year/ Period combo will work. We'll have two variables. Fiscal year is fixed and we won't have a drop down box for it. So user can not change the year after the query is run. But he can see data for any of the 12 periods of the year he selected.
But there is a catch. This is not exactly what we are looking for. For example, if the user initially selects Year 2005 and period 10, then he can see all the previous 9 period of year 2005 (also periods 11 and 12). No problem there. But If the user initially selects year 2005 and Period 1, then he expects to see previous periods. But since year is fixed, when he selects period 12 from the drop down list, it'll show him period 12 of 2005 instead of 2004.
To avoid that problem, we can also put a drop down box for year, but that will become too complicated, as the all the possible years will show up in the drop down. Still trying to figure out a solution around it. Also same problem arises for Version. We only want to see two versions of the Budget. But it'll show them all the possible versions including forecast, actual etc.
Any insight is highly appreciated.

Hi.
I has the same problem working on BID.
Either you need to save the template with a new name or do it under BIP.
It worked after for me.
That's why I only do my templates under BIP now.
I guess a new support package corrects this error.

Web Reporting, drop down box.

Hi Friends,
Previously we have a variable for 'Selection Time Category'.
They no more want to use a varible instead they want to put as navigational, I think filters in web. Can I use a drop down box for this.
What I have done is I placed infoobject in Free char area in Query and Saved it.
Now I want to place use a drp down box in Web adjacent to other dropdown boxws. Please guid me. I am new to Web reporting.
Sudhakar

hi,
try
- drag dropdown box web item to your web template
- do setting for properties for the dropdown box in 'specific' section
characteristic/structure : your characteristic to filter
read mode : posted values
take a look 'affected data providers', make sure data provider you want controlled by the dropdown box marked.

From database to drop down box

Hi all,
Suppose I have the following
String query ="Select name, number from Person";
I want to put all the "names" in a drop down box and all the "numbers" in a separate drop down box. When I do this:
while(rs.next()){
<select="person" onchange="showSelection">
<option value="<%=rs.getString("name")%>"><%=rs.getString("name")%></option></select>
I only get the value of the first name in my table. Can anyone help me?

Hi
I think you need to do some order. my suggestion is to create an Object that contains name and number like this:public class MyClass {
     String name;
     int number;
     public MyClass(String n,int num){
          setName(n);
          setNumber(num);
     //set and get methods for the data members...
}next, roll over the ResultSet and create MyClass object each time and add it to a Vector or something like that. usually a drop down box displays many times and it will be very bad if you will query the data base each time you want to display it, thats why i suggest you to save this Vector in a bean or somewhere else (of course, if the data is static).
than display the vector content like this:<select name="person" onchange="showSelection">
<%     Enumeration e=vec.elements();
     while(e.hasMoreElements()){
          MyClass m=(MyClass)e.nextElement();
%>          <option value="<%=m.getName();%>"><%=m.getName();%></option>
<%     }%>
</select>
<%     e=vec.elements();
%><select name="number" onchange="showSelection">
<%     while(vec.hasNext()){
          MyClass m=(MyClass)vec.next();
%>          <option value="<%=m.getNumber();%>"><%=m.getNumber();%></option>
<%     }%>
</select>pay attention on how you wrote the select tag: <select="person"...
and not: <select name="person"...
hope it helps
mamtz
BTW
think of using struts and custom tags in jsp it will much easier to do this!!!

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.

Retain variable values across web templates during a web session

Hi all,
How can we let web template get variable values from another template's variable values so as to keep the same entry values as previous report run?
For example 0vendor has a variable (for single, mandory) used in all vendor related web templates. "vendor1" was entered for the second template.
I tried to use "SET/GET PARAMETER" in variable user exit. It works in BI with RSRT, but it doesn't work with Bex or Web template. Looks like web session is not sync with the ABAP stack.
How about using cookie? How to create/reset cookie in variable user exit? Can we get variable values from web server memory or user session data?
Please share your thought !
Thanks for helping!
David

Hi Arun,
All the web templates are randomly run by user, there are no set of templates run after one template. Any templates can run after any other web template.
Basically we link web templates with portal menu items. any report can be run by any sequence. The thing the new report need to take the previous selection values from common variables.

Changing Values of Drop Down Box??

I have created a form that has 100 drop down boxes, each drop down box has the same values for the user to choose. I would like to know if it is possible to remove the selected value from the remaining drop downs once it has been selected?
Example:
Drop Down Box 1: user selects "A" when the user moves to Drop Down Box 2 "A" is not available for selection but the remaining values are. User Selects "B", moves to Drop Down 3 and both "A and B" are not available for selection.
I hope this makes sense and can't figure out how to make this happen, I am a fairly new user to LC and would appreciate any help. Thank you for your time!!

Hi,
While technically you can do this, I think that it would be a poor performance because the script would need to loop through the 100 dropdowns.
You would need to place script in the preOpen event of the dropdowns, that loops through and looks at previous selections.
I worked this up over the weekend, but it is not 100%. http://assure.ly/KXAUg5.
The script in the preOpen event calls a function in the AssureDynamics script object (see the Hierarchy).
Hopefully someone can pick up the running on this, as I wont be able to for the week.
Good luck,

Populating drop-down box from Server XML

Hello all,
I'm working on a REST - Lightroom interface, which I'm going to document as expose as a way for anyone to upload pictures to their site.
Anyway, I need to populate a drop-down with the story names and ids from this XML. Any ideas? I'm a top actionscripter/ruby/etc, but not too familiar with Lua. Looks good though.

Hope someone can help :)

Hi there,
I'm also facing an identical problem and would also like the solution. I've thought about using JavaScript in conjunction with JSP to populate the second drop down box dynamically. But first I need to retrieve the values in the first drop down box from a database and subsequently the 2nd drop down box - I'm thinking that a for loop needs to be used somehow. amishpg, I will let you know If I'm successful.

Advice needed on the Drop-down box description.

There are lots of postings on how to get the drop-down box working and there's even a How-to guide called Dropdown boxes. However, I have a field (defined using the AET tool) which has an Search help assigned, so the drop-down list is automatically displayed for me. Having said that I'm still bemused as to how it works as there's no code in the P and V Getter methods.
Anyway, that aside, the dropdown box is working fine, as mentioned, but I also have the description field to populate with the description of the value returned by the drop-down box. In my case it's a Department code and associated description.
Initially, I inserted code in the SET_DEPT method to lookup the description (using a SELECT statement) and place the result in the DEPT_DESC field. However, this method is not being called, I don't think, or at least my break point is not being reached.
So I'm looking for somewhere to place the code which will be called when the DEPT field changes value, and I can then lookup the description and populate the DEPT_DESC field.. Both the DEPT and DEPT_DESC fields are in the same context node by the way.
It's a real pity that when you create new fields in the AET tool you can't relate one field to another or somehow use a search help and say that the source is another field and this field will hold the result, or something like that.

Hi,
It was said that the SET_* method will be called when you press enter on the view to trigger a server round trip.
For your case, I'd like to suggest you take standard coding for example.
That is the categorization in service ticket view in IC_AGENT role.
When select the first category, if the second category only has one value, it will be automatically set. which should be similar to your requirement.
component view GSMCDDLB/DropDownList
call stack is
METHOD SET_FIELDS CL_GSMCDDLB_DROPDOWNLIST_IMPL=CP
METHOD EH_ONCATCHANGE CL_GSMCDDLB_DROPDOWNLIST_IMPL=CP
METHOD DO_HANDLE_EVENT CL_GSMCDDLB_DROPDOWNLIST_IMPL=CP
when a value is selected in the first dropdown, an event is triggered, you may debug and find out your event, and make the codings in EH_* method.
set value for other field is some what simple also, like that in
METHOD SET_FIELDS CL_GSMCDDLB_DROPDOWNLIST_IMPL=CP
CALL METHOD lr_dropdownlist->if_bol_bo_property_access~set_property
If the first field is not a dropdown, for example a field with F4 help, after select the value from the popup, there will be event SELECT_OBJECT triggered for the view I tested.
You may put breakpoint in do_handle_event for the controller class and observe what event was triggered.
Then make the relevant coding.
Hope could do help!

How to Change a Default Value from Drop Down Box displayed in Web Dynpro?

Hi,
How to Change a Default Value from 'High' to 'Low' in a Drop Down Box for RANGE field displayed in Standard Web Dynpro Component.

I appreciate your help!
Thanks,

hi,
use the set_attribute( ) method now to set the attribute with a particular key eg HIGH in ur case
// u can use the code wizard( control +f7) this code will be auto generated when u select the
//radio button to read the context node
DATA lo_nd_cn_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_el_cn_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_cn_node TYPE wd_this->element_cn_node.
* navigate from <CONTEXT> to <CN_NODE> via lead selection
lo_nd_cn_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_cn_node ).
* get element via lead selection
lo_el_cn_node = lo_nd_cn_node->get_element( ).
* set single attribute
lo_el_cn_node->set_attribute(
name = `ATTribute name.`
value = 'LOW' ).
it will solve ur query ..
also refer to this component
wdr_test_events -> view dropdownbyidx and dropdownbykey ->method name onactionselect.

i think normally u will get data from databsae as objects.they are like java beans having getter and setter methods.so you create a collection of those objects like collect all the objects coming from database into an arraylist or....
suppose you want to populate the dropdown box with say "username" from database object s, your code will look like that
<html:select property="name">
<html:options collection="databaseList" property="username" />
</html:select>
"databaseList" is collection(say.. ArrayList) of objects you are getting from database.this dropdown will contain all the "usernames" you are getting from database.

WAD drop-down box and commands on Set Variable values/ Set Filter Values

Hello to all
I am confused in WAD and Help online couldn't clarify my concerns. Thus here following issue:
I am using a WAD, where the data provider (query) is set dynamically. I would like that
1 user selects company in drop-down-box 1
2 I use commands on drop-down-box 1 to manage the next drop-down-box 2 ( like it becomes input ready)
3 user selects plant in drop-down-box 2
4 User selects a tab strip A, where report A of multiple reports is placed. Now in this moment I assign the query A to the data provider A.
Now my questions:
- I am not clear how to use the bex-variables required for the query ( like company and plan). If I use in drop-down variables, then I can't set anymore commands
- What means and makes the command set_variable_state
- What means and makes the command set_selection_state
Thanks a lot for your clarification and help
Christian

Hi Christian,
I will try and answer your Qs
- I am not clear how to use the bex-variables required for the query ( like company and plan). If I use in drop-down variables, then I can't set anymore commands
>> Can you explain how exactly are you trying to populate the DropDown webitems for Company / Plant data for user-selection.
- What means and makes the command set_variable_state
>> SET_VARIABLE_STATE is used to assign input values to your query variables. Here, the command gives you a range of input options to select from such as Characteristic/Text/Formula/Hierarchy Variables & Binding Type Selection. Binding Type Selection in addition gives you more options such as assigning manual input from a Text webitem [ITEM_INPUT], assigning value from another Variable [VARIABLE], or simply assigning the selected value from an underlying Data Provider such as one mapped to a DropDown webitem [DATA_PROVIDER_CHARACTERISTIC].
- What means and makes the command set_selection_state
>> SET_SELECTION_STATE is used to assign input values to Characteristics in your query. It serves as a Filter option.
I think in your case using SET_VARIABLE_STATE makes more sense. You can use Binding Type Selection with [DATA_PROVIDER_CHARACTERISTIC] on both the DropDown webitems to assign the values of Company / Plant to the query on runtime.
