Variable for RKF

Hi Guru,
Requirement is USER wants a selection option for a restricted key figure. How to create a variable with user input option for a restricted key figure(RKF) in BEx query so that user can select GT, LT, EQ with some value ? Please advice how to do it in BEx or Back End side.
Thanks
Liza

Hi Srini,
Why cant you create a 3 Restricted keyfigures, User will get complete information in report. - Could you give more detail information about it. I would appreciate it..
If I use KF as a characterstic in backend and load it , do you think it will work in the report ?
Thanks

Text Variable for a Restricted Key Figure

Hi,
I have a version comparison query three Restricted Key figures based on 0QUANTITY each of which are restricted by Version, Value Type and Fiscal Year. All three are in my query columns. The users select 3 sets of version, value type and fiscal year in the selection for comparison.
They want to see the text of the version they have selected as the description of the column. How can i achieve this with text variables on these 3 Restricted Key Figures which have multiple restrictions. Please advise
Thanks
Rashmi.

Hi Rashimi,
As u said this can be acheived by text Variable,
I have adoubt here,are there THREE columns for Quantity or just ONE column with three Restrictions.
In case it is three Columns then u can go with Text variables else probably u may have to populate it in three Columns and by using Workbook you can combine them in one Column.....i.e One column with all the restrictions -text.
And here is how u create a text variable.....
Create text Variables,For Example ,say 0FISCALYEAR.
1)Right Click on the 0FISCALYEAR and Create a input Variable say YFISCYEAR and save.
2)If ur using 0FISCALYEAR in the RKF,then drag both the 0FISCALYEAR and KF say 0QUANTITY in the new selection.
3)After the Description of the RKF there is a = sign click on that to VIEW and CREATE Text variable.
4)Create New Variable ,enter the tech name(say YFYEAR) and dscription and in the same screen choose type Replacement PAth after which u will get a set of infobjects.
5)choose 0FISCALYEAR
6)In the Next screen choose the Tech name of the Input variabble(0FISCALYEAR) and save.
7)In the description of the RKF ,type as 0FISCALYEAR &YFYEAR&.
Check this too .....

Variables for a given cube

Hi
I have activated a cube 0XYZ and did not activate any queries.
I am creating a query on my own i want know what all variables and CKF & RKF i ca use If i am creating a query on 0XYZ.
Any way?
Please let me know
Thanks

Hi,
If you have not activated any query elements then any RKF or CKF present in the business content for this cube will not be available, and you will have to create your own.
Variables are not tied to the cubes, but rather to the chars (if they are char value variables). Agai, if you have not installed any variables for the chars that make a part of your cube, you can create the same in the query designer.
Hope this helps...

How do I create an automator variable for a path that includes a date?

I like to use Image Capture to scan documents into a hierarchy of folders under my ~/Documents directory that are organized by year and document type. For example, I have
~/Documents/archives/2011
 /Misc
 /Utilities
and
~/Documents/archives/2012
 /Misc
 /Utilities
for archiving miscellaneous docs and utilities bills. Now, switching folders in Image Capture is annoying so I want to use the Automator support built into that app to direct the scanned images to ~/Documents/archives/<Current Year>/Misc or ~/Documents/archives/<Current Year>/Utilities. I was able to do this with separate Automator workflows, each with a hard-coded path to the destination folder. For example,
What I would like to do is use an Automator variable to dynamically determine ~/Documents/archives/<Current Year>/Misc. I see variables for Home, Documents, and Current Year. However, when I try to create a new path variable it only lets me choose a full path to a Finder folder. How do I combine Documents and Current Year variables with the "archives" and "Misc" folder names to create a new path variable?

Well now, you went and made me learn something today. In the Variables Library, under Utilities, is a variable named AppleScript. You can put a small script into this that evaluates to your path, for example:
((((path to documents folder) as text) & "archives:" & (year of (current date)) as text) & ":Utilities") as alias
If the script evaluates to a proper path, it can be used wherever any other path can - you can experiment by looking at the results of a Get Value of Variable action.

Need a Syatem variable for Executing the report by RFC.

Hi Experts,
Need a Syatem variable for Executing the report by RFC.
what i mean to say is,i can execure the report directly ...then no issues.
But if i execute the Report by RFC ,then i should put a condition with system variable...
Please suggest me ,how can put a condition when i am executing the report through RFC.
Thanks
Babu

Hello Friend,
what I understood that you want to put some extra condition if that report is getting called from RFC...
you can use the system variable SY-CPROG....it will hold the value of the report when it is geeting executing directly...
but when it is getting executed therough RFC...it will hold that RFC name...
Thanks

How can I use variable for a package filename and target file inODIFileMove

I want to use a variable for paths so that when I migrate from Dev to QA to Prod I don't have to do a lot of editing.
Specifically, I want a variable to be the first part of the path for the filename (\\sundev1\fnd1-hypd1) and join this with the rest (\update\log\*.log or specific filename) using several different objects like the ODIFileMove, ODI OS Command, OS Command, etc.
Thank you!

Hi,
you could set up a database table holding processing parameters (i.e. Column1 - ParamName, Column2 - ParamValue).
One row could then be ParamName = FilePath, ParamValue = \\<server>\folder\
So, the refreshing query (attached to a logical schema) would be something like SELECT ParamValue FROM <your table> WHERE ParamName ='FilePath'
Then, create a variable which can refresh from the database and in the package, drop the variable onto the flow and set it's type to 'Refresh Variable' in the properties.
Hope this helps.

How to use one Bex Variable for two purposes in one query?

Hi,
I want to prompt for a UOM in a query. Then I want to use that one UOM variable to do 2 tasks in the query:
1. Perform a UOM conversion on one restricted key figure (no filtering)
2. Filter in a second restricted key figure (no conversion)
How would I use a variable (or two?) to do this? I do not want to have 2 UOM prompts.
Thanks!
Gregg

Oh, it all seems so easy now! Hindsight 20-20...
Solution was to create a new input ready variable for Unit.
1. Restrict the key figures which need restricting using new variable
2. For conversions, in BI backend us T-code RSUOM and create new conversion type associated with new variable. Then for each key figure needing conversion, set the conversion parameter to use the new conversion type.
Between both 1 & 2 above, the same variable is used & thus prompted only once.
Solution works perfectly.... as it should. Hope this helps someone else!

How to substitute a bind variable for a IN condition?

Dynamically I am setting the WHERE condition for one of my blocks using SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY Built in. The condition that I am attaching has two IN conditons..
For Eg.,
contracts_tbl.status_col IN ('NEW', 'OLD', 'EXPIRED', 'OPEN')
AND contracts_tbl.id_col IN (1, 2, 3, 4)
The number of choices in the IN condition will vary depending upon the user choice in my screen. Because of this the parsed SQL state is could not be shared and multiple of these are getting created in shared pool. To avoid this I would like to use bind variables.
There are two ways I am trying to do this..
1. Generating one bind variable for each value. i.e.,
contracts_tbl.status_cod IN (:global.var1, :global.var2,
:global.var3)
Now this could result it memory error if no. of choices exceeds the avilable memory. Also its a tedious task to purge the variables after querying the block. Also because of multiple IN conditions, the chances of different set of selections are possible and then again sharing will be minimal.
2. The second method is to set the one bind variable for each IN condition. i.e.,
:GLOBAL.Var1 := '( 'NEW', 'OLD', 'EXPIRED', 'OPEN' )';
:GLOBAL.Var2 := '(1, 2, 3)';
contracts_tbl.status_col IN :GLOBAL.Var1
AND contracts_tbl.id_col IN :GLOBAL.Var2
In this case, forms is not querying as the IN condition takes the global variable value as one string and the query returns no rows though there are plenty available for each status. Also any NUMBER type condtions erroring out as the , and ( are invalid numerals.
Q: Is there anyway you can make this work? or Is there any other better method to substitute bind variables in place to avoid creating new set of statements for each query in the shared pool?
Your suggestions and pointers are higly appreciated. Please respond immediately as this is a P1.
Thanks,
-- Raam.

2. The second method is to set the one bind variable for each >>IN condition. i.e.,
:GLOBAL.Var1 := '( 'NEW', 'OLD', 'EXPIRED', 'OPEN' )';
:GLOBAL.Var2 := '(1, 2, 3)';
contracts_tbl.status_col IN :GLOBAL.Var1
AND contracts_tbl.id_col IN :GLOBAL.Var2 This method should work - not sure if you put exact syntax in or not but your first assignment would cause a problem as everywhere you want one ' mark you would have to put two so that it does not close your quoted string
Try the following syntax:
:GLOBAL.Var1 := '( ''NEW'', ''OLD'', ''EXPIRED'', ''OPEN'' )';
:GLOBAL.Var2 := '(1, 2, 3)';
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('blk name',
default_where,
'contracts_tbl.status_col IN ' || :GLOBAL.Var1
|| ' AND contracts_tbl.id_col IN ' ||
:GLOBAL.Var2);

Variables for calendar year/month

Hi All,
My requirement is to create a headcount report which has to display the number of employees for different time period. ´
1) When user chooses calender day then the report should display total number of employees on that time period(01.01.2005)-(10.01.2009).
2) If user chooses calyear /month then he should see the report for each calyear/month (like 01.2005 , 02.2005,02,2005....)in the columns.
I tried dropping calyear/month in column and i got the result for my second scenario (like 01.2005 , 02.2005,02,2005....)
But when the user chooses the calday it still shows the report by calmonth (bcoz of calyear/month in the column).
I also tried text variable for calyear/moth(replacement path method) but i have the restriction in the interval (from date or to date - i have to choose one by default) so it shows only either date in the columns .
The two variables. 1) Calender Day (Interval,Optional)) 2) Calender Year /Month (Interval,Optional)
I got four restricted key figure to restrict number of employees by business.
Eg :
When Cal Day is choosed then the report will be :(01.01.2005 -10.01.2009)
               (01.01.2005 - 10.01.2009)
Country Sales Finance
India        20      30
Denmark 30      50
When Calyear / Month is choosed then the report will be : (01.2005 - 02-2005) :
                    01.2005                    02.2005
Country     Sales Finance      Sales Finance
India           24     70                70         45
Denmark    36      60               56        30

Hello,
This cannot be achived dynamically.
I think the two ways you can work out is creating two different reports one to include daywise and the other to include montwise structure.
Otherwise you can keep calday in free char and ask user to swap calmonth with calday as per requirement.
Else you have to create a workbook report and make use of VB macros to calculate report dynamically which is a very complex approach.

How do I check the Oracle enviornment variables for a connection?

I am using Oracle JDBC 10.2.0.4 and trying to output the Oracle enviornment variables for a connection.
I am trying to determine if the values output from sqlplus from the following two SQL select statements are different in the connection object:

NLS_CALENDAR GREGORIAN
NLS_COMP BINARY
NLS_CURRENCY $
NLS_DATE_FORMAT MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS

NLS_TIME_TZ_FORMAT HH.MI.SSXFF AM TZR
SELECT sys_context('userenv','language') from dual;

Is there a way to do this in the API or do I just need to run the SQL statements in a Class and output the values to a log?
Thanks,

So try it.
Create a connection with no settings.
Alter all of the (session only)
Query again and see.
Either the query will return the altered values or it won't.

Using a variable for two different characteristic

Hello
I've to following situation:
1) While execuring a query in BEx Analyzer, the user should manually enter a specific key date KEY_DATE
2) Then, two InfoObjects should be restricted by using that KEY_DATE as follows
 a) InfoObject BEG_DATE <= KEY_DATE
 b) InfoObject END_DATE > KEY_DATE
So, in Query Designer I've created a variable KEY_DATE and added it to each of the above InfoObjects. Now, while executing the query I get an error: "Variable KEY_DATE is used for two different characteristics".
Is there another possibility to realize my requirements?

Hi Dear,

Error while opening Workbook:variables for characteristic cannot be process

Hi all,
When I try to open the workbook for a particular query, I am getting the following error. Kindly suggest me in rectifying this information message.
"Variables for characteristic [ZDVCODE]Dealer code cannot be processed"
Regards,
Steve

I am encountering a very similar warning, so this may shed some light on the matter. I have a Web Application that runs just fine when it is filtered only by Calendar Day. However, when I filter the Web Application by Calendar Day and Material Group both, then I get a warning at the top of the output that says "Variables for characteristic [0CALDAY]Calendar Day cannot be processed".
So, at least in my case, the variable isn't deleted, and it actually works just fine buy will spit out this warning under these circumstances.

Defining an exit variable for a specific day based on Fiscal Period

If I do not have Calendar Day time dimension available for reporting is it possible to define a customer exit variable for a specific day. The days are the first and last day of the financial year?
Example
User Input for Fiscal Period: 2009004
The exit is to define a value for 01.01.2009 and 31.12.2008 (end of last year)
Thanks

Hello Niten,
yes it is possible. Procedure:
- add a new column in the report structure
- hide this column
- create a new text variable in this column (for customer exit)
- now you can fill this variable during query execution based on 0FISCPER
You don't want to filter by this variable. Right?
Buy,
André
