Value List Bex

Hi Guys,
I've got a small issue related to the Variable Selection in a BEX Query.
For example when a query is launched the user can select a value from a list (vendor list). I discovered that not all values are diplayed although they're defined in the Master Data (even with the search button).
This issue isn't the case when I launch the same query via the Web.
Anybody a suggestion?
Many tnx for the help. Points will be rewarded.
Kurt

Hi,
Refer the link to know the setting called Info provider specific settings, whica makes the system to look in to master table in F4.

Crystal Reports and values list of BEx variables

Hello.
I read this - http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsandBWquery+elements
And there are writed in wiki:
"List of values for SAP variables are created automatically by Crystal Reports only when you use SAP Toolbar to create the report:
The list of values for a variable in Crystal Reports will be static, but the list will be always dymanic in InfoView as long as you use BW Publisher (save reports to BW, publish to BOE)and you logon to BOE using SAP Authentication."
I have two link to BEx queries from my CR report - and my variables have not values. I think that I don't use "SAP" menu when created the report.
But... what I can doing now? Is way transform "simple" report into "SAP" report?
May be is way create "SAP" report and after it copy all content of old report into new "SAP" report including all objects, formats, formulas, connections?
May be is way load values list from BEx query with "simple" reports?
And another question - I see that in list I get texts and codes but showing only texts in run-time. Can I tune CR for show codes too?

Crystal Report not Adopting all possible Dropdown Values from BEx Variable

Hi all,
I am having an issue in a Crystal report where the drop down parameter that is sourced from a BEx query variable does not include all the possible values in the cube (or in master data). After learning my lesson the first time of not changing the name of the variable or changing it to dynamic (this causes it to break), I had the understanding that the value list may not be complete when running the report in the Crystal client or in the viewer, however, I thought it should be correct when published to the BOE and run in infoview. I am getting the same incomplete list in infoview. I published the report into infoview using the Crystal 2008 desktop client, not the /CRYSTAL/RPTADMIN transaction.
I know there are a couple ways of sourcing a Crystal report from a BW query - using MDX vs. not, etc. I created this report using the SAP menu > "Create new report from a query". I don't believe Crystal will easily let you use that menu option to create a report off two BW queries joined together (which is what I am doing), so I built it off one originally (using the SAP menu), then added the other later on. I have the checkbox for "Use MDX driver with support for Multiple structures" checked. In database expert, my "Selected Tables" both are of database type "SAP BW Query".
Do I have the right understanding of how the value list should work when sourced from a BEx variable? If so, can anyone offer any suggestions for getting the value list populated correctly?
Here's some info:
Crystal version: CR2008, version 12.2.4.507
BOE version 3.1
SAP BW 7.01 EhP 6
Thanks,
Chad

Hi,
- in the Crystal Reports designer the list of values is not online and there is a maximum number of values - configured by a registry setting:
(windows 7)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\SAP\BWQueryReportWrapper
Key: MaxPickListSize
and correct you can not change the name of the variable or set it to dynamic as the definition is based on the BEx query.
I know there are a couple ways of sourcing a Crystal report from a BW query - using MDX vs. not, etc. I created this report using the SAP menu > "Create new report from a query". I don't believe Crystal will easily let you use that menu option to create a report off two BW queries joined together (which is what I am doing), so I built it off one originally (using the SAP menu), then added the other later on. I have the checkbox for "Use MDX driver with support for Multiple structures" checked. In database expert, my "Selected Tables" both are of database type "SAP BW Query".
The checkbox on the Multi Structure is not for the option to combine 2 Bex queries - it is for Bex queries with 2 structures and the BW query driver has been deprecated already and you have to use the MDX Driver.
Do I have the right understanding of how the value list should work when sourced from a BEx variable? If so, can anyone offer any suggestions for getting the value list populated correctly?
in Crystal Reports Designer the list is static and when you publish the report using the BW Publishing to your SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise system the list becomes dynamic in InfoView.

How to search for multiple values with Bex Prompts

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to search for multiple values at the same time with Bex Prompts instead of searching one value at a time (please see the screen shot below). I searched the forum couldn't find any relevant answers. please let me know how to achieve?
Thanks,
Charvi.

Hi Charvi,
You can use wild card search to ensure you get multiple similar values listed as search output.use * for multiple characters and ? for single character.
For Example, Ravi * would result you all employees with first name as Ravi
You can use various search formats such as * Ravi * and * Ravi and Ra?? etc.
Thanks

Restrict value list (F4) at variable selection screen

Hi,
we have a variable of type "manual input" so that it appears at the selection screen before executing the query.
The value-list (F4) for this variable provides every value of masterdata of the infoobject. But here is the problem: I want only those values that are used in the infocube. Is there a way to restrict this list? Customer-Exit??
Thanks for all hints!
Regards,
Mathias

Hi,
I tested both of the hints - in my system both settings had no impact.
Can it be a release problem? My BW is a 3.0B SP 15.
I changed the settings in the InfoObj and put a new variable in the query-def for this characteristic. In the variable-selector before executing the query I can select a value (via F4) for the characterisitc which is not used in the cube. This is my problem. Only used values should be selectable.
These are the settings in the InfoObj:
Display                 Text
BEx description         Short description
Selection               Unique for Every Cell
Q Def. Filter Val Sel   Only Values in InfoProv
Q Exec Filter Val. Sel Only Posted Values for Navi
Can anyone help?
Thanks, Mathias

Default value of BeX customer Exit variable not Displayed in WeBI??

Hello Experts,
We are stuck with a problem where WeBI report is created on top of BeX query and we are not able to see the default value of Bex Customer exit variable in WeBI run. Here is the complete scenario:
1. One restricted KF is created in BeX, restricted with Customer exit variable on net Due date. And this variable is mandatory, ready for input, and Default value in calculated is user exit as current Week's Monday.
2. So, by default KF data should be restricted to Monday of current week, if user does not change this value.
3. Now, WeBI report is created on top of this Bex query, and all is working fine, i.e. we are getting variable as Prompt in WeBI, but Default value is not shown while Running the Webi Report.
So, need your inputs on the same, if default values from BeX in WeBI is supported or not? If yes, why this is happening, and how to resolve it?
Please notice, the restrcition is in KF only, it is not a separate restrcition on Net Due date in Filter area or in Defualt area of BeX
and we are on SAP BW 7.1 and BOXI 3.1 SP4.
Regards,
Vipul

Hi,
See 1285993 - Support of Customer Exit Variables from BEx query into WebIntelligence via OLAP universe
WebI will prompt when executed, but the default values calculated by the user exit - do not appear.
Note: If the BEx variable has property 'ready for input' set / enabled, then its WebI prompt shows ok, but no default value appears.
Cause
This behaviour expected 'by design' (in the context of the product's current limitations) as explained in the online guide below:
Please refer to Chapter 7, page 44, document link here: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf
Characteristic variable > processing type > Customer Exit is "Supported, without user entry"
--> This should be understood as meaning "User will not be shown a prompt"

Select-options - select multiple values from personal value list

Hi experts,
In my application, I am using select-options. I select the values required from the search help into the personal value list . I want to copy these values from the personal value list into my ranges table. Do I have to copy them one row at a time. Is there any way to select the values directly into the ranges table of the select-options field?
Regards,
Abdullah.

Boy, this is something we're struggling with too. So we'd like to hear others' ideas on this also.
thank you,

How can we use C# to read dynamic parameter's value list from .rpt?

I'm using Cystal Report 2008. We know starting from CR XI we can create dynamic parameters, the list of items of this kind of parameter are fetching from database. So in general the SQLs to get the list of values for dynamic parameters are stored in the .rpt.
In Crystal Report Designer, if I preview a report with dynamic parameters, it will first query the database and then show the input dialog with list of values from database for user to choose. My question is can we implement the same thing by our C# code? I'm planning to use C# code to read this dynamic parameter's value list from .rpt and render them on the web page. Then pass back the user selected values to the .rpt to run the report after user make the choice. I didn't find any APIs can do this. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
Can you explain a bit in detail, I have similar scenario. I am using the following code but not getting the Column name for dynamic parameter list.
foreach (ParameterFieldDefinition prm
                          in reportDocument.DataDefinition.ParameterFields)
                try
                    string vParameterFieldName;
                    *vParameterFieldName = prm.ParameterFieldName.ToString();*

How to Add a New Filter Value in BEx WAD to Display All Result

Hi experts,
I want to add a new filter value in BEx WAD to display all data records. The scenario is as follows:
The status field can have two values: Active ("A) and Inactive ("I").
But the requirement is to have a third value to display all the data records (Active + Inactive). E.g. the value can be "G". The purpose is to increase the understandability for report users.
Does anyone have an idea?
Regards,
Joon

Hi Vineet,
thanks for your reply. The problem is that there are only 2 values available for this Characteristic: "A" or "I".
The requirement is to have a third value "G" (instead of the default "All Value") due to historical reason, because all future report users have been working with R/3 reports for quite some time and they are accustomed to using "G" for displaying all values.
Is there any possibility to realize this?
Thanks,
Joon

Value list for a new field

Hi to all of you SAP experts
I need to add a new field to an info-type (in the hr module).
The field needs to have a value list (check table).
I have two options, I can create a data element based on a standard domain and add the check table at the level of the actual structure OR I can create a new domain and hold the value table there.
My question is what should be the considerations for choosing one way or another?
Thank you.

If the values will change rarely, then it's simpler to just add it to the domain; but if new values are added or existing ones changed frequently, then you should consider the check table.

Cannot add new items to a value list in AW database

I have a database which I have been using for many years. One of the fields is a value list. I just went to add another item to the list, and no matter what I do, the Create button is grayed out. I have another value list in the same database that works fine.
There are currently 170 items in the value list that is causin the problem, but I didn't think that there was a limit to the number of items that can be is a value list. (At least there is nothing in the AW technical specifications to indicate thin. I duplicated the existing database, deleted about 20 items from the list, then saved the file, and reopened it, and still cannot add new items to that value list. Does anyone know what might be causing the problem?

Oops
I read too fast.
Here is a short script which may help.
Replace the pop-up item by a text one and edit the property myList in my script to fit your needs.
Select the field to fill and run the script.
Then choose an item in the displaid list. It will be pasted in the selected field.
This trick would give you to work with a "no limit" list of items.
-- [SCRIPT DB fillFieldFromAlist ]
Assuming that
the front document is a database one
and that a text field is selected,
run the script to select an item in a list
and paste it in the field.

UCCX 9.0 CUIC Value lists

Hello,
I have installed UCCX 9.0(2) and I am using CUIC for the reporting data. When I first configured the UCCX CSQs, I used some sample names. After the testing phase, I changed those names to the final names.
Everything is working as expected with the callcenter. The only problem I have is that in CUIC, if I check the Stock Value list "UCCX_CSQ Names" I see the names of the old CSQs as well as the new CSQs.
The old CSQs are no longer configured in the system, and I cannot modify the value list since it is a stock list. How can I remove those old names from CUIC?
Regards,
Javier

If you delete of modifiy any thing in UCCX then old value will mark as inactive but that will still present in infromix database.
if you want to completly remove it then you have to purge the old data . but in that case you will lose all your historical data also . you can request TAC they will delete old config from root . but normally this is working as design .
