User Entry in variable screen in BEX analyzer

If we open a query in the Bex analyzer (BI 7.0), 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)?
Looking for any help on this.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,
We recently went though the same issue. You need to install the last patch for SAP GUI (Patch 4) and the BEx 7.0 Front End (Patch 2). After you install them all variables will be ready for input without the need of using CRTL + K. We got the installer files from our basis team the names are GUI710_4-10002995.EXE and BI710SP02P_201-10004472.EXE.
I will work for sure !!!

Issue with Data Provider name in variable screen for BEx Analyzer

Hello all,
We got an issue with Data Provider name in Variable screen in BEx Analayzer.
We want to change the DataProvider name there to Description of the report instead of its Technical name.
Any inputs are appreciated.
Thanks
Kumar

You have to create a workbook to do this.
Refresh your query/report. In Bex analyser, there is one toolbar named BEx design toolbox, If you are not able to see it in analyser, right click on the toolbar space of BEx analyser and click on BEx design toolbox. Here, goto to design mode, by clicking on a sysbol like 'A'. after that place the curser where you want to see the Query description. and click on insert text (T) in BEx toolbox. click on it and check "Query description" in constant tab. in the general tab you need to assign a dataprovider, for that assign your query name in workbook settings (in Bex design toolbox). also check the "display caption" in general tab.

Funtion Module for user exits for variables used in BEx Queries.

Hi,
This is for BW Query customer exit variable (zvar2) for include ZXRSRU01 and exit :EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001.
Can anyone please suggest the function modules that can be used to do the following.
1)Read value of zvar1 from selection screen whatever
user enters at run time.
2)How to define the zvar2 in the include. zvar2 is the
variable created in BEx to be populated from this
customer exit.
3)How to use case statment where once the value for zvar1
is determined then,
Case zvar1.
when zvar1 = 0 , then zvar2 = 10
when zvar1 = 1 , then zvar2 = 20
3) Assign zvar2 value as computed in the case statement.
Can anyone please help with the code to achieve this.
Any information regarding function modules that can help write user exits for variable reading and input will be greatly helpful.
Thanks
Sarah.

Hi Sarah,
You don't need any FM for your issue.
Please try thie sample code :
DATA: VAR_INPIUT LIKE RRRANGEEXIT.
CASE I_VNAM.
WHEN 'ZVAR2'.
   CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
   IF I_STEP = 2."PROCESSED AFTER VARIABLE INPUT
*Reading value of ZVAR1
    LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO VAR_INPIUT
      WHERE VNAM = 'ZVAR1'.
      CASE VAR_INPIUT-LOW.
*FILLING ZVAR2
       WHEN 0.
          L_S_RANGE-LOW     = 10.
       WHEN 1.
          L_S_RANGE-LOW     = 20.
      ENDCASE.
      L_S_RANGE-SIGN     = 'I'.
      L_S_RANGE-OPT      = 'EQ'.
      APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
      EXIT.
    ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
Hope this helps

Adding description in variable screen of Bex query

Hi All,
I have restricted one variable ( let us say abc)
these variable have value P, A.
when user select this value in the variable screen (let us say 'P') then the description field also shows 'P' .
I want user to select the value as 'P' but in description field it should come as "Pending' .
Please suggest how to do that
regards

1. If u want the description in the variable screen, the variable should be created on MD in which the text should maintain on this.
2. In the Multiprovider, go to that infoobject -> Provider Specific properties -> make this as key and text.
If you dont get the description, finally go to that infoobject, in Business explorer tab -> general settings - give key and text for Display.
hope this would help u.

User not able to login to Bex Analyzer

Dear Experts,
The user was facing the problem where he was not able to login to Bex Analyzer in only Quality system.
He was able to login in Dev and Prod systems.can i please have the reason for the same.
Regards,
Sunil Kumar.B

Hi SunilKumar ,
RFC connection error issue was stated by you. Basis team takes care when RFC issue occurs. But you are able to login for the same system so RFC Connection should not be the issue.
Regarding the point of user being unable to login ; it may be due to authorization issue which is also handled by basis team. So I suggested you to take their help and find out if the user is having the proper authorizations for the quality system as well.

Variable Screen for BEx Web ( Changing "Save As" to "Save Variable")

A cosmetic change...on the Variable Entry screen we have a button to save variant defaulted to the text "Save As". As our needs, the text on the button needs to be changed to "Save Variable".
Any possiblities...??
Thanks in advance...
Maci

Hi Maci,
Unfortunatly there is no possibility to change the entries in the standard variable screen. The only thing you could change here is the format (eg. colour) by using the theme editor.

VBA To judge "Cancel" at variable selection screen in BEx analyzer

Hi BI experts,
I need some advices about how to judge whether "Cancel" button is pressed or not.
We need correction of Excel Macro for migrating reports from 3.x to 7.x.
<Summary of Macro>
1.Call variable selection screen once you pressed VBAbutton.
2.Then, depends on pressed "OK" or "Cancel", the following process wil be diverged.
　
＜1st process's change＞
Old：「Return_Code = Run("SAPBEX.XLA!SAPBEXrefresh", False, inWorksheet.Range("B30"))　」
New：「Return_Code = Run("BExAnalyzer.xla!MenuChangeVariable")」
<2nd process's change>
Under 3.x verstion, I used the situation that workbook would not be updated if you pressed "Cancel" button and write the logic.
But under 7.x verstion, even if you pressed the "Cancel" button, the workbook would be updated.
So, now I can not use the logic before and need to correct it.
Please give me some advice how to judge whether "Cancel" button is pressed or not at variable selection screen.
Also my correction of calling logic of variable selection screen?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Problem with exit Variable in may BEx Analyzer Workbook

Hello,
I have created a workbook. In this workbook I use the 0CMONTH variable. I always want to get the previous month. For that I have the variable 0CMONTH-1 inserted in the query at default values in the query designer by 0calmonth.
It will automatically deliver the previous month.
When I put this query in the Bex Excel Anayzer Workbook, then comes the following message:
Diagnosis
In the query definition, the default values of characteristic
[0CALMONTH]Calendar Year/Month are stored as variables. The system tires to fill
these variables again from the last restrictions so that it can use them as
default values. In this case, however, the restriction is so complex, that the
variable values cannot be reconstructed from it.
System Response
Procedure
Change the restrictions in the query result if necessary.

Hello,
I can not find the SAP variable 0CMLMON in 0CALMONTH. I have OI_CMNTH, 0CMONTH ...
Do I have to register somewhere?

Variable Values in BEX Analyzer 3.5

Hello,
I have a query that has a user input variable for a country.
The first time I run the query I select GB.
I run the query again and select FR.
All fine so far.
The third time I run the query I notice that the variable value has changed back to GB. It has not remained as FR which was my last selection.
This happens for all variables that I am using. Is there a setting or offset that is awry?
Cheers,
Guy

Hello Durgesh,
Not quite what I had in mind as now I can't view any of my variables when refeshing the query.
I just need variable values to remain constant unless I change them but, I still want to view them before executing the query.

BEx Analyzer 3.x after 2004S Upgrade - Variable Screen

The variable screen has changed when using BEx Analyzer 3.x after upgrading to 2004S. Is there an option to go back to the original version? We are doing a "technical upgrade only" this weekend to our production system and did not want to impact our users in any way at this time. There was a thread that started out asking about this issue but then switched to discussions about the Query Designer and the variable screen question was never answered.
Thank you for your help.

Yes, I can access RRMX. However our users cannot. They log on through Citrix directly to BEx Analyzer 3.x. When I use transaction RRMX, it takes me to BEx Analyzer 2004S.
Is there any way for our users to access the old variable screen using BEx Analyzer 3.x? And if not, is there any documentation anywhere on the new variable screen that is being used for 3.x after technically upgrading to 2004S?
Thank you -
Ann

Changing a variable in variable screen

Hey everybody,
i have a question for variable screen in Bex Analyzer 3.5 in BI 7.0.
Is it possible to change a variable in variable screen depending the input of an other variable?
I know how to change it bevor popup and after popup.
But i want to change the date of a hierarchy-variable depending of the values entered of two other variables. so, as soon as the variable of date or month is changed, i would like to match the hierarchy-date of a variable.
Anybody an idea?

Hey Vikash,
thanks for the link, but I quess, that doesn't help. We have allready a keydate-userexit-variable, that is filled after popup (i_step=2). I Know how to do ist also bevor popup (i_step=1).
What I need is to change a variable "during" popup. That means, the variable screen is open, and the user enters variable number 1. As soon as he did an input, I want to react on this "event" and change a other variable. (In our case, a hiararchydate, so that he can choose from the right hiararchy).
I read that the variable screen of Bex 3.5 in BI 7.0 has an other technoloy than in before. (Html-Based). I hoped that there is a new chance of working whitch the variables in Bex.
I little example.
the variables screen pops up with some default value:
year (2008)
month (12)
ConsolidationUnit ( )
(hierarchyVariable with keydate 31.12.2008 when you open F4-Screen)
now, the user changes the first variable into year 2009 an presses enter, but he don't execute the query yet, because he wants to choose a consolidationunit first.
In this moment, i whant to change the Keydate from Consolidationunit-variable
year(2009)
month(12)
ConsolidationUnit
(HierarchyVariable with keydate 31.12.2009 when you open F4-Screen)
The consunit he wants to choose is not available in Hierarchy from 2008.
Thats our Problem.
I want to avoid, that the user has to type in an other variable for keydate of the hiearchy. because the keydate depends on the other entered time-variables.
Hope, that this is comprehendible. I try to realize somekind of an interaction between variables in the screen.
Kind regards,
Amina
