Variable Filter in Xcelsius

Hello,
I´ve been looking for a way to filter the data from BW before getting in the Xcelsius.
I have a Query in BW with some variables and i´d like to use this variables in the Xcelsius for the Users choose what data want to see
Is there a way to do that using Universe? And how about the connection between Xcelsius and BW ?
Thanks.

I have not worked on BW anytime.. but, i can answer your questio keeping another back end in place of BW. I hope the following explanation answers your questions.
- Build a universe against BW.
- Create an Qaaws query and aply filters that you are looking for.. (Ex: Year)
- Add a connection in Xcelsius to retrieve the data using the web service creted with help of Qaaws.
- Lets say for example the prompt to choose the data for year 2001. In excel file, list all the possible values for year and crate an drop down list. If you end up choosing 2001, pass that value as an input to the webservice and it retrieves the data accordingly.
Thanks,
Praneeth

Set variable filter for query from dashboard in IR 9.3

I have a dashboard that I want to set up to a process a query that has a variable filter. Can I set the variable filter in Javascript so the user does not see the variable filter/limit dialog? I'm using IR 9.3.

OK, never mind. I figured out how to do it right after I posted this:
mylimit = ActiveDocument.Sections["Query: New Users"].Limits[1]
mylimit.CustomValues.Add("TAA")
mylimit.SelectedValues.RemoveAll()
mylimit.SelectedValues.Add("TAA")
ActiveDocument.Sections["Query: New Users"].Process()
var MySection = ActiveDocument.Sections["Report"]
MySection.Visible = true
MySection.Activate()

How to remove Dublicate values in Variable Filter screen?

Hi All,
I have Master data Object, ABC, XYZ and XYZ Description, and below i have given the data for the same
Ex ABC    XYZ      Description
       A        1           Abc
       A        2           Bbc
       A        3           Ccd
       B       1            Abc

       C       3            Ccd
While executing the Query, we want to do Drill Down on XYZ, In Variable Filter screen we are able to see the Dublicate values, which is making confusion to endusers as which is realed to ABC i.e A or B or C?

So client is not able to find which is what.?

Filter situation / variable filter

I've the following situation in Filter I give to extract data out of source.
I've 3 filter conditions out of which 2 are constants and one varies every time.
So I gave the first 2 as filters in Source which are working just fine. For the 3rd one I created filter table and joined it with the source to make the join condition as my filter. But whats happening is ODI first extracts data from Source(all data) and while writting in Working temp table its using the join condition. The reason its doing this way because Source is DB2 table and my filter table is Oracle. (I guess DB2 didnt like heterogenous joint condition)
So instead of pulling 300 records from source its pulling almost 2 million records and then doing the join at working temp table.
So instead of 30 seconds the whole process now takes more than 2 hours. How can I pass a variable filter to a source.
Can I use a parameter file kind of thing(like in Informatica)

Only one problem, I duplicated an ash file to downloads (and modified part of it to differentiate the copies) to test it, but the script doesn't seem to be setting it as "theNewFiles", with the variable returning {}. Any ideas? Or am I doing something wrong?
I really don't know. The script seems to work flawlessly in all my tests. Did you choose the right folder, the one called “New Location”, when asked by the script to choose a folder? Did the script work with some other files?
I'd also like to be able to run the script without intervention (possibly even as a folder action script)
Then the “choose folder” statement should be replaced with something like “set newLocation to POSIX file "/Users/curtisblack/Documents/New Location"” for example. The new Folder Action script (which should be attached to the Downloads folder) might then look like follows:
--BEGINNING OF SCRIPT
on adding folder items to thisFolder after receiving theseItems
set newLocation to POSIX file "/Users/curtisblack/Documents/New Location" -- or some other location
tell application "Finder"
set theNewFiles to files of thisFolder whose name extension is in {"txt", "ash"}
repeat with thisFile in theNewFiles
set thisName to name of thisFile
set theOldFiles to (files of the entire contents of folder newLocation whose name is thisName)
if theOldFiles is not {} then
move thisFile to container of item 1 of theOldFiles with replacing
end if
end repeat
end tell
end adding folder items to
--END OF SCRIPT

Variable filter in InfoPackage

Hi Experts
We are considering using a full load datasource.
I remember to have read something about the possibility of making a variable filter on infopackage.
For instance the last three months.
Can anyone please give me a hint, or a detailed explanation on how to implement this ?
I'm in the 7.0 version.

Variable filter selection in Web Template

Hello we have 0VENDOR as BEx setting for Query Def. Filter Value Selection as 'D only values in InfoProvider', i've a mandator variable on 0Vendor for a query and when i run in Bex it works fine like the selection of variable brings up only the values in the InfoProvider.
I've the same query attached to a Webtemplate, and when i run the Web Template and in Value selection of the Variable brings up all the values from Master Data instead of the Infoprovider.
Any idea how to make it work in Web. btw we're in BI 7.
thanks
Mayil

Mayil
I don't think you can on the variables screen, however if it was feasible you could use a drop down box and have it look at posted values only. However this will only be available after the initial view of the query comes up.

Set Variable Filter on DTP

Hi,
I have created a variable with Customer Exit on Bex and i have set this variable as filter also in the DTP for loading data.
The customer exit should read in a custom table a value for the calmonth of analysis and assign it to the variable. When i set the variable as filter, the system is not able to find the proper value for the variable.
Below you can find the code i added in the include of ZXRSRU01. i tested the function module i was able to see the correct value,
I have one doubt: which is the I_STEP to use in this situation? What is wrong?
Thanks,
Veronica
>Code
DATA: l_s_range TYPE rsr_s_rangesid.
DATA: loc_var_range LIKE rrrangeexit.
CASE i_vnam.
   DATA: V_CALMONTH(6) TYPE N.
   WHEN 'ZLVVRCEMSI01'.
     CASE i_step.
         WHEN '1'.
     SELECT SINGLE ZMESEANNO INTO V_CALMONTH
     FROM ZMESE.
     l_s_range-LOW = V_CALMONTH.
     l_s_range-SIGN = 'I'.
                l_s_range-OPT = 'EQ'.
                APPEND l_s_range TO E_T_RANGE.
ENDCASE.
ENDCASE.

I solved the problem.
The I_STEP to use in this situation is I_STEP=0.

Variable filter from the same Object (WAD)

Hello Experts,
I am new to WAD and currently have a requirement where I have 2 different variables, contained within a single object in a query. Both these variables are in use as one of them is a mandatory (single value) field and the other not (single and multiple values). Actually I am trying to show a comparision between these two inputs (in percentage) in a chart.
The query is designed in such a way that In the selection screen when I do not give any input in the non-mandatory field, it results an average of the available data, and when I select an input then it gives out the result of this particular input (either single or an average for multiple selection).
So I wanted to implement a filter pane in the WAD, so that I can have a multiple selection. How can I differentiate the variable input as I need the filter on the non-mandatory variable. Can anyone suggest me on this.
Thanks in advance
Santosh

You need to look into using a javascript function that takes the desired selection and sets the variable value of the non-mandatory variable rather than apply it as a filter on the query. So you would need another data-provider that is not tied to any web item but can be used to allow the user to select the filter values and then use Set Variable value command on the dataprovider for charts.
Definitely not a complete solution but more of an idea that's worth trying.

Why can I not use variable filter on 0FISCPER at InfoPackage data selection

Hi,
I have several InfoPackages that have to be filtered with the same 0FISCPER range (for example with 0CO_OM_OPA_1 data source).
In data section tab of my InfoPackage, column Type is not applicable for InfoObject 0FISCPER.
Can I change this behavior?
Thanks an regards,
Wolfgang
Edited by: Wolfgang Taag on Mar 5, 2008 1:53 PM

Hi Wolfgang,
well it is ok in my system. May be you have some fixed values entered in the columns 'From' - 'TO' Value. Delete those values and the column will be ready for input. After entering a type e.g. a abap routine, the fields 'From' and 'TO' Value will be greyed out.

BICS - Passing Mandatory Filter Variable value to a BEx Query

Hi All,
I have similar problem as the below URL.
BICS - Passing variables to a BEx Query
Details:
I have a mandatory filter - Display Currency in BEx query. I'm trying to input this mandatory filter from Xcelsius, (by mapping the filter value to a cell in Xcelsius spreadsheet).
However, when I lauch the dashvoard in IE page, it still throws an error:
" One or more mandatory varaibles of the query... are not filled"
Does anyone face this issue?
Regards,
AK

Hi Sriram,
I assume you are using SAP direct connectivity.
>> Yes, it is direct connectivity to SAP-BW.
(And I'm publishing this dashboard in SAP-BW system itself.)
1. What are all the Variables you get in intial variable screen?
because if you have a Mandatory variable in your Bex query, a intial variable screen will appear with all the variables.
>> I'm testing the underlying BEx query, it has one mandatory variable for "Display Currency". Other are optional variable-filters, so other filters are not a problem.
2. when you get this error "One or more mandatory varaibles of the query... are not filled", just after the Launch or after the variable screen?
>> I use the option in Xcelsius: SAP --> Launch --> a new IE page opens, then I get this error
3. However you can bye pass this screen only when you give default values to your mandatory variables.
>> When I use personalization in BEx side, to input default value (e.g: USD), and then run this standard content dashboard, the hangs.(Do not see anything on IE page for long time. Though the data is very less-Few hundres rows)
So, I'm looking at passing the value from Xcelsius-spreadsheet, however, the dashboard is not picking up the value from the mapped-cell.
Hope this gives more clarity on the problem.
Cheers,
AK

BW Variable as Prompt values in Xcelsius

Hi Experts,
We want to create Xcelsius report based on BW Query.
We can't use direct connection BW/Xcelsius because we haven't stack Java installed.
So we have used the other method :
- Universe on Query result
- QaawS on this universe
- Connection with Xcelsius.
Connection is ok but we're facing an issue with prompt.
We would like to have a mandatory prompt to determine a date intervall to filter the Xcelsius.
BW Query has a mandatory prompt but we can't have a pop-up on Xcelsius. We have to put values directly on worksheet to filter the report (But we loose query's flexibility).
The same issue happens when we put a prompt while creating the web service.
Have you any idea on how to display a prompt in Xcelsius ?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas.

Insert 600 variable values in pop up filter of a web query

Hello all,
in order to analyze some Material movements I have to insert 600 material numbers in the selction of a query. In Bex Analyzer I can copy and paste the variable in the variable pop up screen.
But when I execute the query in web the filter pop up screen is different to the sap gui pop up screen from Bex Analyzer.
How can I insert 600 variable values in the variable filter screen when I execute a query in web?
The BW release is 3.5 Any ideas would be great.
Best regards,
Stefan from Munich/Germany


Hi 
I don't think that option is possible in Web Reporting. However you may include different ranges of material numbers at the same time for ths purpose. 
Something is better than nothing
 
Hope it helps.
