  • Variable Assignment in General Precalculation tab of BI 7.0 broadcaster

    Hi,
      In the broadcast setting, under General precalculation tab variable values can be set up. When we are clicking create variable values, screen with all the variables of the query were coming.
    After entering data in the variables and clicking OK, values are not being transferred to the Broadcast setting. The variable page remains like that with out transferring to the Pre Calculation tab.
    We are on SAPKW70020.Distribution type used is Broadcast email, output fornat is MHTML. I tried with other output types, but same result.
    We are using query as the object type for creating Bex Broadcaster.
    Has anyone ran into this issue before?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Pradeep

    Hi Mohan,
    You have opened up an old post, so many responses might be to answer the initial question.
    However, to answer your question, when you click 'Create' next to the 'VAR01 in Variable assignment, what you see is a popup window with the 'Ready for Input' variable present in your query/ workbook/ template, which is the same variable screen which you get when you execute the same query/ workbook/ template independently. You can then enter values for those variables and click OK, to save it and to be passed to the broadcasting setting. The broadcast would then happen for the same variable values.
    However, if you face the issue mentioned by Pradeep, then after clicking OK, you can cancel the popup window. The values of the variables would still be passed.
    After the popup window closes, you can see the 'Create', you initially saw, replaced with 'Change'. This means the values are saved.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks,
    Abhishek.

  • Broadcasting - General Precalculation Variable Assignment

    Hi All,
    Just have a query regarding Broadcast settings for a bex Query with variables.
    After creating the broadcast settings under the "General Precalculation"
    Variable Assignment
    > Determine from Variants options
    Can anyone tell me where do we have to create these variants so as to select them from the Broadcast settings window and map it to the query varaibles??
    Thanks
    Rao

    Hi Rao,
    You just need to execute ur query ( either in Bex Analyser or Web analyser ). In the selection screen you can enter the values for ur variable & save as a variant ( ex: VARIANT1 ).
    In broadcasting now click now variant tab there u can see the VARIANT1 which was created during query execution.
    Hope this helps.

  • Variable Assignment-Workbook Precalculation

    Hai Guys,
    I have a problem while executing.please,go through it
    Start---BEx Analyzer--
    Create new work book.While executing the work book,it is asking me to enter variable values.Once the variables are given and when start executing it, i am getting the ouput correctly and when i  broadcast the same through email,in work precalculation tab, again it is asking me to enter variable values.I have done that and  executed.  But I am  not able to receive any email.Infact,after taking 3 mnts it showing Timed out error.Kindly,suggest me with a solution to this. Where should I exactly enter variables?
    Kindly,give me a solution for this.
    Thanks,
    Mohan Chand Reddy A

    Hai Shakir,
                    First i thank q for ur reply to my question.But is it correct that we should assign Variables only in the Workbook Precalculation tab?Some one are suggesting like variables can be given both in foreground calculation i.e., while creating a workbook and also we should give the same variables in the workbook  precalculation tab.But in one document, i found there is no variable assignment tab in the Broadcasting settings.It means they might have given variables in the workbook creation itself.
          Please,reply me.It's very urgent.
    Thanks,

  • Variable Assignment : Workbook broadcast

    Hi gurus,
    We have been broadcasting 31 Inventory workbooks on a weekly basis for the past couple of months. The workbook is based on 1 inventory query which has a Cal Month and Store Location as mandatory variables. Obviously, while broadcasting the same, we should be able to set these variables in the Variable Assignment of the Workbook Precalculation Tab.
    Earlier I was able to see them in the variable assignment assignment for this workbook. We havn't changed the query, no changes in the system, No changes at all. But now I am not able to see a single variable in the variable assignment except for this variable that says Tech.Cont.: Time Frame for which Data is Selected.
    I am not sure where can I see the variants for this workbook. Anyways, we havn't mentioned any variants in the workbook precalculation tab. Please help me with this issue.
    I executed the query and tried broadcasting the corresponding query, Here I am able to see the variable assignment. But not for the corresponding workbook. Creating all the settings right from the scratch for changing from workbook broadcast to query result broadcast would be a very tedious task which I don't want to undertake right now.
    Can anyone please help me with this problem.
    Thanks & rgds,
    Sree

    Hi Murali,
    Thanks for your answer and sorry wasn't able to respond early.
    As I had mentioned, this problem didn't exist earlier. However, all of a sudden, we have started to face this issue. Global variants were never created because we are not using the option of VARIANTS, instead we use Variable Assignments. This has been the practice for the past many months, but all of sudden since last month, we started having this strange issue where we could'nt determine the variable assignment.
    When know I click on the variable assignment create link, there is only one variable that appears in the screen "Tech.Cont.: Time Frame for which Data is Selected", I donot see any other variables. Earlier though, i was able to see all the other variables (Plant, division, etc).
    Please let me know if you have any answer for this issue.
    Thnks & rgds,

  • Variable assignment "Create" link opens up BEx Analyzer

    In a portal environment we're testing with, we are running into an unusual issue:
    In BEx Broadcaster, We open up a setting created for a particular query.  In the General Precalculation tab we are trying to create a variable assignment (Select VAR_01 from dropdown menu -->Create "link"), but when we click on the "Create" link, we're getting the BEx Analyzer instead of the variable screen for that query (doesn't work for any query, but for workbook settings, it works fine).  The following has been checked:
    ms/redirect_version is set to 1
    BI Support Desk tool is all GREEN
    Assertion ticket setup is correct (at least I think it is)
    I can also pull up Information Broadcasting directly from the backend system (sap/bw/Bex) and the variable screen comes up okay.
    Any ideas of some setting we're missing in the portal/backend?   Thanks for any help.
    (We're using NW SP 17 with BI-Java 17/23...BI Backend is NW SPS16)

    UPDATE:  fixed by updating support pack to BI JAva 18 (from 17/23).  The solution doesn't make much sense, but we've learned to just accept these sort of things in faith

  • Cursor and black screen on XFree86 server with DirectFb backend

    Hi all.
    I need to bring up lightweight XFree86 server with DirectFB as video backend on CE Linux (Intel Set Top Box). For now I've done following:
    1.    Compiled and tested DirectFB with multi application support (fusion library).
    2.    Compiled XFree86 with DirectFB as backend.
    3.    X based applications (xclock, for example) can be drawn from device on remote display after exporting DISPLAY variable.
    4.    XDirectFB server can be started successfully without errors.
    I faced with following X server problems:
    1.    I can see only black display with active graphic mouse cursor once I started X server and any X application (xclock, for example). Its looks like application windows are drawn but invisible on a screen. When I moving mouse, cursor changes from arrow to resize or others icons.
    2.    When I try to use XFree86 as remote X server for drawing, client program issue XRandr command is not supported. Again I can see blank black screen and valid mouse cursor, which seems manage invisible windows.
    3.    XFree86 manuals points that X server uses configuration files /etc/X11/xorg.conf  or /etc/X11/XF86Config for video/input devices settings. Does XFree86 with DirectFB video backend use such configuration files? Which one? What video driver should I define there? I have tried both of configuration files without success. It seems X server ingoring them.
    Appreciate advices, suggestions and visions.
    Please note me if additional information requires.
    Medvic.

    I have discovered solutions for my problems (unfortunaly not causes). Hope this helps someone.
    1. I can see only black display with active graphic mouse cursor once I started X server
    I have found that XDirectFB binary accepts 'defaultOpacity' (default opacity for created top level windows)argument which can vary in <1-255> range. Value 1 corresponds to full invisibility windows state and 255 to zero opacity. It seems 255 is default value for opacity, but in my case screen still black/blank. I set 254 opacity and wow! Its a miracle - I can see windows!!!
    2. When I try to use XFree86 as remote X server for drawing ... I can see blank black screen and valid mouse cursor
    Now I can use my X server for rendering remote client's graphic applications.
    3. ... Does XFree86 with DirectFB video backend use such configuration files? Which one? What video driver should I define there?
    It seems indeed XDirectFB server doesn't use any configuration files. For my case X server normally starts without configuration files.
    If you have any questions or need some clarifications, please contact me.

  • How to supress value '#' in variable selection screen?

    Hi gurus,
    i wonder if there is any solution for this question:
    Before query execution, when system requests variable values, in the list of available values for filtering 0calyear, allways apears value '#' and the rest of values loaded in the infocube.
    0calyear is defined as "Only values in infoprovider", and there isn't any blank value ('#') in the dataprovider. I also have executed RSRV tests for deleting unused values in dimension table.
    Regards
    As allways I'll assign points

    So, as I read, there is no way to remove this "# value" from selection list in variable screen, unless i delete this initial entry in p-table. I've tried to delete this entry (vía debug) and its OK, the # value is no more displayed. But I think that it could be dangerous, couldn't it? Anybody know what could happen if i delete this P-entrys in some infobjects?
    My question is only about variable input screen, not the results displayed (i knew that you can exclude this value in query definition).

  • Urgent: Custom Text in Variable Selection Screen

    Hi Experts,
    I know that it is not recommended by SAP to customise the variable screen, I am sorry but that is ridiculous coz there are no alternatives provided for even simple editing. I''ve searched every where in SDN to find a way to simply add a custom text element in this bizarre screen.
    I need to do that because I have to group variables that look similar in a container and add some instructions to users on how to base their selections.
    I am also not sure what exactly the web item whcih is behind this selection screen or perhaps if it is another web template that is being invoked by the standard template ""0analysis_pattern"" and if any what is that web item invoking it.
    If you have any clues of how i can achieve this please adivce as soon as you possibly can.
    Points will be assigned.
    Cheers,

    Hello,
    To customize your variable screen you should neeed developer access key..you can see whether you have got or not in table Devaccess..
    Personalisation of variables is for saving all inputs for future use. ( In your case save without any pre determined values )
    Below PDF link will surely answer your doubts.
    http://www.ies.state.pa.us/imaginepa/lib/imaginepa/mso2.pdf
    The personalization option can be activated in the system (using the program RS_PERS_ACTIVATE or the IMG guide (BW Customizing Implementation Guide -> Business Information Warehouse -> Reporting-Relevant Settings -> General Reporting Settings -> Activate personalization in the BEx).
    You can manage your personalization variable through BEX Analyzer "Change Variable Values" menu option "Business Explorer --> change query --> change variable values.

    Go through this link for making cange in Variable selection screen..
    Re: No Text displayed in the Input help in WEB
    For creating the Web Template..
    Go the web application designer, create a new web template in the template
    in the left hand side you will find web items , from there drag and drop table , navigation block for your navigation attributes and in the table you have to assign the data provider
    for that first you have to do
    <object>
    <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
    <param name="CMD" value="SET_DATA_PROVIDER"/>
    <param name="NAME" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
    <param name="QUERY" value="your query name"/>
    <param name="INFOCUBE" value="your cube or multiprovider name "/>
    DATA_PROVIDER: DATAPROVIDER_1
    </object>
    now you can asssign the data provider 1 to the table.
    you can all the neccessary things you want , like check box, radio button group, charts etc.
    while saving this save it in a role.
    If you want to do this for a workbook, which has been created in the BEx Analyzer, do the following:
    After embedding the query in the workbook, right click -> choose 'properties' in the context menu -> click the 'interaction' tab -> check the 'save and reuse variable values' option.
    After doing this, once the workbook or query is refreshed, the already entered variable values are taken.

  • How to not display unnecessary attributes in variable selection screen?

    Hello everybody,
       I created a input variable referenced Calendar Year/Month(0CALMONTH) in my query. But as I select values for my variable when I execute the query, all the display attribute of 0CALMONTH displayed in the select screen, just like Calendar Year/Month Text, Calendar Year Key, Calendar month key, Number of Days Key, Number of Workdays Key...But I think just display Calendar Year/Month Text in the select screen is enough, how do I just display necessary attributes in the variable selection screen, not all the display attributes of 0CALMONTH?

  • Issue when Bursting reports via new Precalculation Server

    Hello,
    We are trying to migrate away from our unsupported 720 installation of the SAP Precalculation software to a new Precalculation Server running the latest versions. We’ve overcome a number of issues and we can successfully Broadcast using the new server but we are encountering problems
    with bursting.
    The Bursts have been running successfully on the old 720 server, so we know that the BW side must be fine which suggests the problem is with the Precalculation server. We have been through the Precalculation checklist and the servers appears to have been built successfully. The Precalculation and Business Explorer software has been patched to the latest version and it’s running Excel 2013.
    The main error message we are seeing is “The RPC server is unavailable” HRESULT: 0x800706BA.
    A Screen shot showing the error in RSRD_LOG  is shown in the attached document.
    Below is an extract from the Log of the Precalc server showing this error, just before the RPC Server is unavailable message it states
    Error occured on closing opened workbooks.

  • # value in Variable Selection screen

    Hello,
              Can you please help with the below:
    How do we remove # (Not Assigned) value from Variable selection screen. When I select PLANT in one of the  report, I see # value. But there are no empty values in the cube. So, I am not sure as why I am getting this # value in Selection Screen.  The seeting in Web designer for READ MODE is "Posted Values" and  not  "Master data or Dimension Table".
    Thanks.

    have you checked what Bex properties are set in the Info Object for "Query Def. Filter Value S"
    Select Values from Info provider.
    that might solve your problem. But ensure you're not disturbing anything else by changing this property.

  • Precalculation Server for Information Broadcasting

    Hi Folks,
    Do we need Precalculation server to use Information Broadcasting in BW7.0?
    I am especially interested in using the Filling OLAP Cache functionality in Information Broadcasting to fill OLAP cache for one workbook.
    Need your help on this.
    Regards,
    Sn

    Hi Raghavendra \ NS,
    We have only one application server. The issue might be because of the broadcast settings which I am giving to fill the OLAP Cache.
    In my current query there are two variables one is on business unit and the other one is on calendar month. Both the variables  are optional.
    Business Unit variable accepts multiple single values as input and the calendar month is selection-option variable.
    Now My problem is if I fill cache with a variant, without providing any value for Business Unit variable (i.e for all the business Units ) and Calendar month values as 01.2010 to 11.2010, then when I execute the query for Business Unit x and Calendar month 10.2010- this is not picking data from cache instead reading from the database. Ideally this selection is the subset of the cache which I have filled.
    The query is picking data from the cache only if I give the same variable values i.e no values for Business Unit and 01.2010 to 11.2010 for calendarmonth.
    My requirement is to fill the cache for all the Business Units and all the calendar months of current year. This cache should be accessed by the query even if user selects one or multiple or all the  Business Units and a single or range or all the calendar months of current year.
    I might be doing something wrong in settings of BEx broadcaster. Please throw some light on the settings which I have to make in this case.
    Regards,
    SN

  • Broadcasting and Variable Assignment

    Dear Experts,
      I want to assign variable in broadcasting dynamically. For example, this variable will be changed every month. I tried to set the variant on BEx Analyzer, and looked into the table TVARV, but I couldn't find my variant in that table. Is there any way to assign variable dynamically?

    Hi CSM Reddy,
    1. while creating your Broadcasting Settings ... you can use your Variable for OLAP Cache.
        Question1. How and where can I use variable for OLAP Cache in broadcasting. What I just see is variable assignment in the General Precalculation tab
        Question2. Variable for OLAP Cache you said is the same as the variable created in Query Designer, right?
    2. then you make sure the variable in Bex is setup with "Ready for input" unchecked
        Question1. I have to allow users to input month to see the report in the month they want, so I think I can't default the value for this variable.
        Question2. What do you mean 't Type variable'?

Maybe you are looking for
