Variable entry screen from BW in webdynpro

Hi all,
    can I use the variable entry screen for a BEx query to access all the user inputted values in a webdynpro application.
    I want to launch this screen from within the webdynpro application, and once the user presses "Execute", I want all the user selections back in the application.
    Is this possible at all?
Thanks,
Satyajit.

Hi Satyajit,
Since the variable entry screen orignates from the BI system in conjunction with a web template it cannot be invoked separately. Do you plan to run the web application within a Web Dynpro application (i.e. an iFrame)? One option would be to use the BI Java SDK to populate the values in a user selection screen and then use the user's selection to execute a query or MDX statement. Of course you Web Dynpro app is responsible for rendering the result set.
Regards,
Oliver

Kindly suggest me how to achieve this..
Full points will be given.
Thanks

Hi Thanks.
Even I'm also trying for the same scenario only.
Actually I have 2 Web Templates.
In First Template I have 2 Charts and 2 Zoom buttons for each.
While I running the 1 Template, i give an Value in the Variable screen of First Web Template.
If I click a Zoom button of 1st Chart, It should open a New window with the Second Web Template. And Second Web Template should automatically take a First Template's Variable screen Values.
(Since, U have an Mandatory field in Second Template u were not faced this requirment.)
Even I tried with "TRANSFER_STATE". It is not taking the First Variable Screen's input values.
Kindly help me in this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Remove option from variable entry screen

Hi all,
I have to remove some option from the variable entry screen as the user dont required that...
How to remove that?
please let me know step by step....

Hi,
Do you want to remove some values for the variable and wish to show only few values which the user will select and fill in the variable screen or you want to change the no.of variables displayed in the variable screen and show only few variables?
If you want to do the first,
Restrict the values for that variable in the Query itself(in Query Designer) which can be done as follows...
Create a variable for a Characteristic and add it under "Default Values",then restrict the values for that variable.Now this will allow you to select the restricted values through the variable screen.
If you want to do the second,
Go to Personalized settings,and personalize the variables.You can also Modify the selection of values there as well.
Now you can show only the required variables in the variable screen.
If you want to create a variant(Global/Local) for the variables,that is also possible thorugh vairable screen.
Hope this helps you!

Variable entry screen for query doesnt show selection values.

Hi,
I've created a query with date varibale Quarter From-To. When i execute this query, the variable entry screen pops up but when i try to select values just shows ??? and not the text.
if i run the same query in RSRT the variable entry screen pops up but here the selection values are present for me to choose from.
can anyone tell why the values arent showing when the query is executed.
Thanks

yes, it seems to be a problem with NetWeaver BI BEx Java Web runtime as it works in RSRT and web analyzer. Found a note on marketplace note 125357 - No values displayed for attributes in input help but this did not resolve issue.
A call has been raised now as it seems to be a product fault

History of user Input values in variable entry screen

Hi Experts,
I have a small issue. I have a variable entry screen where I select values from the list. I can always see the history of variable values I input earlier when I click on the dropdown box. For example the country code displays all my previous inputs.
Similar to the web browsers history.
Not the same case with Fiscal Year/Period. I do the same type of selection from the combo box for example 12.2006. I give different values again like 1.2007, 2.2007 etc and run the report several times. But it doesn't show up the history of my previous entries unlike the country code.
Kindly help, points assured.
Thanks,
Raj.

What we've done isn't pretty, and I'm hoping for a better solution.
We've developed 3 ODSs that we've exported a full list of all attributes and their values to. Each ODS is identical.
We've then created an InfoSet to link the Product Cube to each of the 3 ODSs. We can then add 3 variables to the query representing each ODSs. Since the ODS holds over half a million attributes, we limited it to 3 since it takes 30 minutes to run.
It's not elegant, it's not pretty, and I'm sure it's not optimal. I'm hoping someone can describe a better solution.

Question on WAD's "Variable Entry" screen values

Hi,
I've one Web Template Report contains "Variable Entry" screen.
It has one entry for Plant.
Also inside a report I'm having one DropDownList that is for Plant only.
My Requirement is:
If I enter some "1000" as a input in Plant at Variable screen, that same "1000" should be passed inside the report. And that corresponding DropDownList should show the "1000" as the selected value.
Now I'm getting "Show all values" as the default selected item.
Kindly suggest to achive this requirement.
Full points will be given.
Thanks
-Jay Jay

Hi,
1)If i didn't give any value in Variable Entry screen, in the result DropDownList shows "No data" in disabled mode.
Ans. Since you have not checked "Display All Values", i think if you dont give any selection in the Variable Screen, the DropDown box will not be highlighted.
2)The Selected plant Not only having Name and id, But also having all characteristics like, 1402,Pen,Business Partner: xxxxx, Distribution channel:xxx, etc.,
Ans. Since we are reading from the Master Data, i think all these values will also be displayed.
I still dont know if you are using WAD 3.5 or 7 ? Maybe we have better options in 7. You can try with different properties.
Hope it helps.

How to launch an ITS screen from an ABAP WebDynpro Button Action

Hello All,
I have a requirement to launch an ITS Screen from ABAP WebDynpro. There will be abutton on the WebDynpro screen and when the user will click on that button, the ITS Screen will be launched.
Can anyone please provide us some sample applications or sample code to achieve the above functionality.
Points will be rewarded.
Thanks
Shyam

Hi Shyam,
You can achieve by using Launchpad Customizing and the Launchpad Navigation API's. Just make and entry on transaction LPD_CUST, create a launchpad role, add you target application there.
At run time under the UI button you can call the API provided by CL_APB_LAUNCHPAD_API -->LAUNCH_APPLICATION to open the application. You can find many material on Internet for the same, with examples, even try some where-use in your system.
I found one more helpful link.

Delete button in variable entry screen

Hi guys,
is it possible to get the delete button icon for multiple
single values of a characteristic like we get for variable entry
on variable node in web application scenario.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
urgent!

sorry I misunderstood you question...
I've never seen a "delete" button for deleteing an entry in a multiple variable....
The user has to delete the input box and then press the check button...
Otherwise you'll have to implement your own selection variable screen, I guess; since this screen is SAP standard, good luck!
hope this helps,
Olviier.

Problem with Variable Entry Screen

Hello All,
We upgraded our development systems to NW2004s and came across the following issue:
All our Bex queries have restricted time characteristics with variables entries. When we execute a query it should pop-up the variable selection screen for us to enter the restriction values but the query is ignoring Variable restriction screen and taking into consideration everything. The same query works fine in Prod., which is still in 3.1.
Did anyone come across this situation kind of situation? It did not pop-up any type of error and we are in SPS10
Thanks in Advance,

We fixed the "Variable Screen not appearing" problem by adding following objects to our users.
1) Business Explorer - BEx Web Templates (NW 7.0+) S_RS_BTMP
2) Business Explorer - Individual Tools S_RS_TOOLS
3) Business Explorer - Data Access Services S_RS_DAS

2 queries sharing 1 variable entry screen

We have 2 queries in a workbook which use identical user-entered variants. Is there a way to have the user only fill in the variants once for both queries.
Thanks,
Ron

Hi,
Yes. you can. Bex will bring the popup for variable entry for the Query which is last inserted.
Some say-> your have insert Query1 and then Query2.
The the popup for Query2 with appear first and user make a variant there and save it. Now i am assuming that you have make sure that you are using the same variables for both query..then there will be no popup and the whatever values which user have entered in variant of Query2 which will taken by Query2 also.
Fews points to keep in mind->
1) Make sure that you are using the same variables (check techinal names of variables) in Query 2 as you have in Query 1.
2) To refresh all queries with a single refresh screen, the user can select any cell in the workbook that is NOT part of the query (to visualize which cells are part of a query, use the Analyzer toolbar and select Layout >> Mark queries on worksheet), then select the refresh button. You will see a message box that says "No query is selected. Do you want to refresh all queries in the workbook?". If you select Yes, all queries will refresh with one refresh screen (assuming all queries have identical variables).
Regards,
San!

Adding messages to the Variable entry screen in web report

I need to add a message or note to the variable selection screen on a web report. I need this message or note to be displayed somewhere on the same screen with the variable list. I found something similar in BW Expert regarding pop-up messages, but this does not work with web templates. Does anyone know of a way to add a static (or dynamic) message to this initial screen of a web report?

In my clients place, they are ready to do the SAP Mod based on "CL_RSR_WWW_VARIABLE_SCREEN" to have a Alert Message which sort of based on different idea.
Does anyboay have an idea on where to make the change?
Thanx
Arun

Is it possible to launch a Screen Personas screen from an ABAP WebDynpro application?

I am running SAP EHSM Incident Management within SAP Portal. EHSM has an ABAP WebDynpro frontend based on BOPF/FPM
In the same portal session for a single user, we want to be able be in an
active record in EHSM and then launch a screen personas screen based on a
SAPGUI transaction from either a button click or portal tab click. As part of
the launch, we want to pass an HR PERNR ID to the Screen Personas/SAPGUI
transaction from the active record in EHSM and run a search. Is it possible to
do this? Project team is saying this is a technical limitation.
I know that Screen Personas cannot be used for a WebDynpro screen, but we just want to launch a screen and pass a parameter. We assumed during blueprint this would be possible.
Thanks

This is definitely possible.
Here is a link containing an example of building the URL to start a transaction via Personas and pass a variable plus a command in the URL. This could be enhanced with specifying the flavor as well.

Generating data entry screens from entity

Hi all. am new to visual studio. I am creating a small app that connects to a database. i have added an EDM. What i wanted is to write a piece of code that can generate screens, just as in the case with lightswitch. I do not want to use the lightswitch,
i just want to learn how this is done. What are the approaches to this?
Thanks in advance.

One, this post is in the wrong forum.
Secondly there is no forum from Microsoft as your question pertains to "How to Design" which is not really specific to any Microsoft Product (the fact that you use Visual Studio as your dev environment is incidental).
Thirdly, your basic approach should be to read the table, use the field name, data type, etc. and dynamic control creation in Visual Studio to generate the form. This portion is relatively easy, factoring in proper data validation, data entry formats, etc.
which are not stored as part of the data definition would be more difficult.
Have fun.
Regards.
