Variable hierarchy doesn't work

Hi Friends,
Please let me expalin my problem.
Case 1
Iu2019ve defined a hierarchy as variable in a query and a variable for herarchy nodes to
restrict the  characteristic as well (characteristic displayed in rows)
Calling the query, I can select required hierarchy and then in a separate selection the nodes assigned to this hierarchy. So far it works as designed.
Case2.
But when I use the variable for a hierarchy node to restrict key figures, system doesnu2019t change the selection of nodes according to selected hierarchy.
Example.
Case 1
Selecting hierarchy H1 provides nodes HN11 HN12 HN13 ,
selecting hierarchy H2 provides nodes HN21 HN22 HN23
Case 2
Nodes HN11, HN12 HN13 are provided, irrespective of selection of H1 or H2
Any suggestions?
Thanks in Advance & Regards
Joe

Hi,
For this issue two types of variables are important:
Hierarchy selection of hierarchy  to be used for a particular characterietic)
e.g. H1
Hierarchy node (selection of nodes within a defined hierarchy)
e.g.. HN11, HN12, HN13 in dependency of input in variable for hierachy
Defining hierarchy  as variable and assigning a variable will craete a field for input on the selection screenn.
Restricting characteristics with a variable for hierarchy nodes creates a second one.
In case 1, where caharacteristic is allocated to rows, variable for hierarchy nodes offers nodes dependend on settings of variable for hierarchy, i.e. changing selection for hierarchy causes display of different nodes in selection for hierearchy nodes. That's exactly what system should do.
In case 2, when I use characterietic to restrict a keyfigure with vthe same variable for hierarchy nodes , this variation doesn't take place, offered nodes in selction screen are always the same 
I know it's a little confusing, but I hope I could clearify my issue.
Regards
Joe

  • The variable exit doesn't work

    Hi,All

    Terry,
    Just make the below change and check. Will check your code clearly again. Again is it a formula variable you are using? Also is that a year infoobject or any other object on which you are restricting?
    CASE I_VNAM.
    WHEN 'ZFISYEAREXIT1'.
    DATA year(4) type c.
    READ TABLE I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO L_S_VAR_RANGE WITH KEY VNAM = 'ZFISYEAREXIT1'.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
    year = sy-datum+0(4).
    L_S_RANGE-LOW = year. "low value, for example, 2007
    L_S_RANGE-HIGH = year. "high value = input
    L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.

  • Query property "Save and reuse variable value" doesn't work in BW EHP1

    We have a workbook which contain 4 queries, every different worksheet is a different query.
    All the queries are on the Same InfoCube and all the queries use the same variables.
    In the properties of the query n.2 we set the parameter "Save and reuse variable values" then we refresh the 1st query and all work fine (the system asks the variable values) but when we refresh the 2nd query the system doesn't use the same variable values that we have inserted for the query n.1
    We don't have the same problem in 7.0.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Luca

    Hi,
    I suppose, you need to set the 'Save and reuse variable values' for each query individually in the workbook. I am not sure however there is a option where you can specify to apply the settings of one query to all queries in the work book.
    Please check and hope it helps.

  • Product hierarchy doesn't works in ECC 6.0

    Hello guys!
    I'm working in a project that migrate to ECC 6.0 and now is facing an error in Material Master (MM01) when try to select a product hierarchy in Basic Data 1 view.
    When the matchcode of product hierarchy is used, the "Next level" button of popup windown doesn't open the product hierarchy. I check with an another consultant that don't remember the SAP note that fix it.
    Anyone knows this SAP note?
    Thanks a lot,
    Rodrigo.

    Is your setup of product hierarchy consistent ? How many levels have you defined ?
    In ECC 6.0 can you let us know the support pack & the patch level details (if not sure, obtain this info from your basis person)
    Also it would help if you can upload screenshots of the setup done for the product hierarchy & the issue you face in material master.
    Just for your info, I am on ECC 6.0 & do not face this issue.

  • Setting environment variables remotely doesn't work for Windows 7

    Hi,
    $RemoteMachineList = 'machA', 'machB'
    $session = New-PSSession $RemoteMachineList
    Invoke-Command -Session $session {[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Role",0,"Machine")}
    The above is the code snippet which I've tried for setting a machine level environment variable. After executing this code in a collection of XP and Windows 7 machines, when I go and check the advanced settings->system environment variables, I can see
    the new entry "Role" in all the machines. But unfortunately, this env variables actually gets set only in XP machines(I did a set command from a cmd prompt/or an echo command) whereas in Windows 7 machines, this doesn't exists even though it
    shows up in the advanced settings->system environment variables.
    Tried in several machines, only Windows XP is yielding the required result.
    Please help. 
    Thanks in advance ! 
    -Aravind

    Thanks Chen, but still the same result. 
    I'll narrow down the scenario(actually two scenarios) as per the way it's behaving on Windows 7 machines.
    Case - 1
    1. I do a SetEnvironmentVariable remotely.
    2. I go to that remote machine and search in advanced settings -> system env variables window. Dont click on the OK Button.  Close these windows.
    Result: Yes it is there as an entry.
    3. I open up a command prompt and type 'set'
    Result: No it is not set.
    4. Again open up advanced settings -> system env variables window. Click on the OK Button.  Close these windows.
    5. Now open up a command prompt window and type 'set'
    Result: It is set now
    Case 2:
    1. I do a SetEnvironmentVariable remotely.
    2. I go to that remote machine and search in advanced settings -> system env variables window. Dont click on the OK Button.  Close these windows.
    Result: Yes it is there as an entry.
    3. I open up a command prompt and type 'set'
    Result: No it is not set.
    4. I do a system restart.
    5. Open up a command prompt and type 'set'
    Result: It is set now
    Any idea why this is behaving like this(more or less like setting a user level env variable), please  ? I've to some way get through this obstacle to advance further. Thanks a lot for the support

  • Infopackage for updating hierarchy doesn't work in process chain

    All:
    I have infopackages for Cost Center and they are part of a process chain. While cost center master data get populated after the process chain runs, cost center hierarchy does not get populated. Infopackage for cost center hierarchy is also part of the process chain.
    However, when I manually run the same infopackage (for CC hierarchy) cost center hierarchy in BW (BW 3.5) gets populated.
    Could anybody suggest what is wrong here?
    Thanks,
    Pranab

    Hi,
    Did you include "Attribute Change" process in your process chain which will activate the saved hierarchy? Otherwise the new loading hierarchy will be kept as "M" version instead of "A" version.

  • @Xref with multiple variables (dimensions) doesn't work in EPMA

    Hi all,
    I have an @Xref function in a Script block within the calculation manager looking like: Period=@XREF(Source_DB,Period,Account).
    When validating this against planning and EPMA i get an error saying:
    Error in:"Jan"=@XREF(EA_SALES , "Intern
    Invalid number of arguments found in function: '@XREF(EA_SALES, "International","USD")'
    When i past the total function directly into Essbase this function does work.
    Does anyone have a sollution to solve this issue, i really need to narrow my selection from the source database since it has more dimensions than my target database from i which specific members.
    Thanks in advance,
    Marc

    Hi Marc,
    Suggest you log a case with support. Calc Manager and/or EPMA does have issues with perfectly good Essbase code at times. I'm not aware of a way around it as it won't deploy if it can't validate it. At least get the defect in the hopper for the future.
    Another examples of this is you cant do @IDESCENDENTS(member); and have it validate.

    ORDER BY T1.formatcode
    Segment_1 is the value I what to let the user enter.
    This query also groups by month, so there is a row for each month, each GL account. Is there a way I can collapse this to one line per account? And show each the GL amount of each month across?
    The purpose of this query is to give a report of each GL account with a column amount for each month.
    Thanks

  • USER Exit variable doesn't work in BSP

    Hi gurus
    I made a characteristic variable with user-exit replacement type.
    It get the user id from sy-uname. It works well in Gui version. But when I execute the layout in BSP (WI), it doesn't work.
    But If i do the hard-coding the line from (l_eto_charsel-low   = uid.) to (l_eto_charsel-low   = '4012121'.) it works well.
    The following is my coding.
    Please give me any comment.
      CLEAR eto_charsel.
      DATA l_eto_charsel TYPE upc_ys_charsel.

    Hi,
    Your patch level seems to be OK.
    pls. try the declaration as 'Data: uid like syst-uname' or you could try directly assigning the sy-uname.
    Try to debug and see the content of the sy-uname, when it hits this code.

  • Authorization Variable doesn't work in Workbook

    Hi all,
    I have defined authorization variable for a characteristics in Query. When I run the query, the variable's value can be derived from user's authorization. But when running in workbook, it doesn't work. The value is empty and workbook shows "No Authorization". Does anyone have the same problem?

    Dear Eric,
    Are you sure that you have enabled the authorization object for your InfoProvider? This is something that has to be done in transaction RSSM after an authorization object as been created.

  • I'm trying to use use the variable Evaluate, but doesn't work

    Hi!
    I need to use in the Evaluate of a variable, the condition where is the variable is > of another variable.
    I wrote after that I checked the condition:
    #VARIABLE or '#VARIABLE'
    But it doesn't work. Both of variable is numeric.
    What I have to do?
    I hope to have soon a support because is really important.
    Thanks in advance
    Bye

    I suggest that you must find out what the variables are, as I have tested the two variable EQUALS and NOT and it has worked, so it is a subtlety. Can you add a procedure step which uses a Jython step to print the variable value to the console of an agent so you see what it is comparing.
    In my package I have the steps:
    Declare variable A
    Declare Variable B
    Assign value to A
    Assign valkue to B
    Evaluate Variable A: equals #PROJECTCODE.B
    On true step TRUE
    On False step FALSE
    I tried assigning B the same and different values, each time I ran I got the expected response.

  • Seconds_between doesn't work with variables in SQLScript

    There is a sample procedure:
    create procedure testproc
    language SQLSCRIPT
    as
    l_curtime timestamp;
    l_timedelta integer;
    begin
      select systimestamp into l_curtime from dual;
      select seconds_between(:l_curtime, systimestamp) into l_timedelta from dual;
    end;
    It should return seconds between 2 timestamp values.
    The code returns an error:
    Could not execute 'create procedure testproc language SQLSCRIPT as l_curtime timestamp; l_timedelta integer; begin ...'
    SAP DBTech JDBC: (at 160): inconsistent datatype: line 8 col 10 (at pos 160)
    With «time» and «date» datatypes that's the same. So, seconds_between doesn't work with SQLScript variable (in this example, l_curtime). Is it a normal behaviour or supposed to be a bug?

    Hello,
    I can confirm same behavior - using variable inside seconds_between function leads to error. If you put there static string it is ok.
    Of course you can always create "dummy" table (having 1 row with 1 column) where you will store the result of first call and then you will reference in second. But of course it is not that clean and it will be slower (especially if called many times).
    But I would suggest to wait few more days - there should be SP03 released and everything can be different.

  • Online help doesn't work

    I have just installed HTML DB stand alone release on my W2000 9.2.0.5 database.
    The install process worked fine.
    But the HTML DB online help doesn't work. when i click on the help icon the popup is there but with no contents.
    When i click on the link:
    Find (initial index creation may take several seconds)
    This errors appears:
    Error creating online help index.
    ORA-29273: HTTP request failed ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1022 ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
    I thought that my oracle text was not or improperly installed because the CTXSYS account was locked. So i decided to reinstall it but with no success.
    I decided to reinstall HTML DB (local install this time)but again it doesn't work
    I searched in the forum, but it seems that nobody had meet the same issue, except HTMLDB.com (reinstall of oracle text was the solution)
    I would like to try this new product but with the online help
    Thanks in advance

    Just to clarify why this is happening this way.
    The online help contents are not loaded nor indexed at installation time. In a new installation, the very first time the help window is displayed and you click the 'Find' link, the help contents will be fetched and indexed using Oracle Text. They are fetched via HTTP by GETting them from the Oracle HTTP Server (they are static files under the images hierarchy, after all).
    The URLs to fetch the help documents are constructed using the SERVER_NAME CGI environment variable as a component of the URL. So at indexing time, the database will issue HTTP GET requests to a specific URL, and if this URL cannot be located or the name not resolved, then issues will arise like you have witnessed.

  • How to hide a field based on the value of a field in a different subform - null check doesn't work!

    I'm using Javascript to set the actions. I need to hide a text field if the value of a field in another sub-form is null.

  • My new iPhone 4 doesn't work at all

    You are definitely not alone with your issues. I'm on my second iPhone 4 unit, and am still having the same problems. I've had proximity sensor insanity, battery draining after 8 hours of stand-by (NO USE, just sleeping) to the point that my phone goes into a coma and has to be plugged in to be revived, the grip of death dropping calls....
    But the single most irritating and infuriating problem is the signal strength/reception fluctuation. I share a house with two iPhone 3Gs users, and I had an original silverback iphone until July 2010. They all work fantastically well with no issues when I'm at home (where I am just about 24/7, since I work from home). *_My new iPhone 4 doesn't work at all.*_. Signal strength is all over the place. I did a test where I sat watching the bars showing signal strength for five minutes. In that time, I saw it switch from E (edge?) with full bars to 3G with full bars to 3G with 1 bar to 2 bars to 4 bars to 1 bar to "Searching." Then back to 3G, with degradation of bars from 3 to none, then E network appears again, this time with full strength. This all with the phone sitting on a table, not being touched by human hands.
    It seems that my iPhone is constantly switching actual physical networks, and as a result signal strength is all over the place from one 30 second period of time to the next. This drains the battery like crazy, and means that all incoming calls go to voicemail--usually without my phone ever ringing.
    The 3G phones in my house work great. The 1st G iPhone I have had since the week it came out worked great (though its battery doesn't hold much of a charge anymore, after three years). On my new IP4, games are awesome. The videos and photos are amazingly clear and high quality, and editing on the phone is out of sight. iPhone Apps rule. MobileMe syncs my contacts quickly and easy. The only thing I love more than the iP4 features is my iPad--it rocks.
    Everything works on my IP4 at home BUT THE ACTUAL TELEPHONE FUNCTIONS. This is unacceptable. In late August, after two weeks in which I had 4 minutes of phone use, the nice folks at the Apple store switched me to a new phone, no questions asked. The phone worked so much better, I could send texts and place calls most of the time (this was now the first part of September)...except that now that I was using my IP4 to make phone calls, I started having a problem with the proximity sensor during those calls. I'd be talking and my cheek would mute the phone, turn on speaker, open contacts and edit info (with gobbledygook), and of course, hang up on people.
    So around Sept. 18 I was told by Apple phone support to update to iOS 4.2, restore as new, and do two complete power up and drain down cycles. This would fix the proximity sensor and any other issues.
    Well, I would love to see if iOS 4.2 actually did fix the PS, but I can't get the signal strength to stabilize long enough to have an actual phone conversation. I'm back to watching the signal strength go up and down at random (with me touching/holding it carefully to avoid grip of death, and also when I leave phone on the table with screen lock off --no touching). It is back to switching between E network and 3G and varying strengths of wi-fi from my home network. This eats up battery from 100% to low enough to turn off in under 10 hours of standby (usually 6-7). Essentially, my IP4 is back to being unusable as a phone.
    So I did another long, involved call to Apple tech support on 9/18. They tell me that I have to turn off wi-fi, turn off 3G, turn off push/fetch and notifications, shut all apps (no multi-tasking) and do everything but switch my phone to airplane mode--and see if the battery holds up for 24 hours in standby. If that didn't work, I should restore from new, but not load any contacts or network or data or anything--just leave it as it would be out of the box new.
    As a test, I turned everything off as advised: 3G, wi-fi, push, etc. Now my battery life is back to normal, where I can have the IP4 on stand-by for up to two full days before needing a recharge. Fabulous. BUT IT'S NOT A SMART PHONE if I have to turn off 3G, turn off wireless, and not use email push and so forth.
    I'm so frustrated I could scream. I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that there is a significant flaw in the new iPhone. Or perhaps it is just an issue for iPhone 4 users in areas where the signal strength is marginal, or where there are two types of overlapping network coverage (E and 3G in my case). I know that the networks themselves are in good condition--though I'm in a semi-rural area, the state capital is 4 miles away, and I know they have a new tower and good coverage for the politicians and power brokers around town. The phone coverage area I live in has Edge network in the south part of the network area and 3G in the north part, which is the state capital. I'm right in between. Could this be the problem? AT&T says no, it's Apple's fault.
    Message was edited by: HighSierra

    So what to do besides complain? Troubleshoot?
    I just wonder if all of us who have had chronic signal strength and "Searching for network" issues that totally drain the battery might have something in common, despite being all over the world? I'm using wi-fi 95% of the time, and live in a semi-rural area with overlapping networks run by same carrier. Apple folks hinted that maybe in my area the network usage is nearing capacity (resulting in getting kicked off of 3G and down to E as new calls are placed that strain capacity). They also hinted there could be interference from mountains or other objects. But here's the thing--3G phones work fine, and my IP4 works fine when I'm away from home, usually in the capital city on strong 3G network. (When I say "works fine I mean the signal is good and calls go through, I haven't tested battery drain away from home yet).
    I have to conclude that the problem is the IP4 itself--something about the hardware or the software (namely, the way it connects to the phone network) is horribly wrong. Other folks who live in urban areas or with strong networks that (likely) aren't over-utilized don't seem to have this issue. After reading through these pages, it also seems the wi-fi may be a major culprit in draining the battery and in varying signal strength (this is from Apple phone support, which said that varying signal strength and the constant pinging off the home wi-fi is creating a "power struggle" and keeping the phone constantly looking for the best connection option). Mind you, 3G iphones on the same home network have no problems whatsoever.
    So while I'm not a technical expert, it seems like the problem HAS to lie in the differences in the way the IP4 connects to the cellular and/or wi-fi network. And since the connection/signal strength problem was "resolved" on my replacement phone, but then "broken" again by the software update of iOS 4.2, I'm leaning toward this being a software issue. I've offered to help Apple troubleshoot, and I'm trying to be patient--because the IP4 is a work of art and I've never had an issue with an Apple product before. But all they want me to do is restore, restore, reload, restore, and then drive 1 hour to the nearest Apple store (in Reno, NV) and get a new phone...and start the whole process over again. I don't have time for this, I need my phone back.
    I'm this close to trading in my beautiful but flawed IP4 for a 3G. Maybe I should just get a new battery for my original iPhone from 2007?
    I understand that Apple can't test for every possible variable of use all over the world, but they don't even seem to acknowledge that they have a problem with the IP4 that will not be resolved by replacing it with a new unit. They want me to believe it's a fluke, or it's just me...but I've been combing these threads and see a lot of people reporting the same issues I am--battery drain and wildly fluctuating signal strength issues, wi-fi problems, and dropped calls. Can't someone get on this? Because otherwise Apple is going to have to admit that their IP4 is not a good solution for people who live in areas of less than perfect signal strength or use wifi or whatever demonic combo I have in my home/work setting.
    Or people will have to do what I have done--if you who want the cool IP4 non-phone features, you will have to dumb down your IP4 in order to have it be even moderately useful as *a phone.* For $599 I expected better.
    My (temporary) workaround?
    To spare the battery:
    *Turn off wi-fi (which *****, because now I have to burn minutes when I'm at work using the email, downloads, safari, etc--and it's E network, so it's SLLOOOOOOOW)
    *turn off push and fetch, have mail get new messages manually
    *turn off data roaming
    To keep the signal somewhat stable (making it easier to complete calls and spare battery)
    *Turn off 3G (this leaves me on E network--fabulous, I had that with my 3 year old iPhone)
    *grip IP4 between two fingers placed at the top of the phone, away from death zone. Tough for us lefty phone users.
    *pray the free bumper will a) come soon and b) help. I'm not optimistic.
    To keep proximity sensor from going nuts and dropping calls, muting, turning on speaker etc:
    *use headset or bluetooth (unless you are also having one of the known bluetooth issues!)
    *keep phone pressed to one ear and don't move it a millimeter. Don't shift sides, don't hold phone with your shoulder, just keep it to one ear and talk fast).
    I'm about out of patience. I understand that lots of folks have and love their IP4s. I'd love to be one of those people. I'm open to suggestions and have spent many hours on phone with tech support, restoring my phone, reloading data and apps--there has to be a better way.
    Sorry for the thread-jacking, but someone from Apple has got to be following these threads--help us!
