Variable personalization

Hi,
We work on BW 3.1
We have a question on the personalization of variable in Bex. The personalization is user dependent but not query dependant.
Is it possible to personalize variables according to the value of user and query ?
We noticed that in the ODS 0PERS_VAR (contains value of personalized variables) there is a field for the name of the query (TCTQUERID) which is empty ?
Is there a solution ?
Thank you.

Thank you for your answer but I can't access this link ?
We just manage to personalize variable according to the user and the query in the Bex : we have to click on the button in the bottom of the selection screen (personalize all variables). In this case, it works (the personalization is only for this query);whereas if you click on the button "Personalize variable" near the variable, in this case the personalization works for all the queries.
Our problem is now to manage to do the same thing in the Web (Web application designer). We don't have the same option ("Personalize all variables") in the bottom of the selection screen. Perhaps is there a parameter in the template for this ?
Thank you.

How to remove Variables Personalization in the BEx Analyzer?

Hi All, Help us. Say please:
1. How to remove personal Variables Personalization for query/user in the BEx Analyzer with standart tools?
2. How to disable personalization button on varible screen?
Our users very often click this "bad" button and after that can't to find required criteria on selection criteria screen. We've studied BW Guides and Forum materials (may be not very thoroughly), but search usefull information only for Web Reporting. We've search corresponding table /BI0/APERS_VAR00 but fear to edit it directly.
Best regards, Igor

Hi All,
I think that best way to remove personalization of any var or infoobject could be done through the next logic.
we have ODS 0PERS_VAR.
we need to remove line from this ODS with specific parameters like USERNAME and VAR_NAME or IOBJ_NAME.
Step by step instruction:
1. Create update rule from ODS 0PERS_VAR to the same ODS.
2. Write 'Start routing' to update ODS with the next ABAP-code
LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE.
 DELETE FROM /bi0/apers_var00
 WHERE tctusernm = DATA_PACKAGE-tctusernm AND
 ( tctvarnm = DATA_PACKAGE-tctvarnm OR
 tctiobjnm = DATA_PACKAGE-tctiobjnm ).
 DELETE DATA_PACKAGE.
ENDLOOP.
3. Activate update rule.
4. Update ODS Data in Data Target with 'full update' !
5. At the selection screen of info-package specify fields
 < 'TCTUSERNM' - username > AND
 < 'TCTVARNM' - var name > OR < 'TCTIOBJNM' - infoobject name >
PS:\ As result personalisation will be reseted selectively.
if it help you, it is a chance to donate some points to me
best regards

Variable personalization error stops further processing

Hello,
I am having problem with variable personalization, we are on BI 7.0 SP 12 with latest frontend GUI.
The steps followed are :
1. execute a query in BEx analyzer
2. In the variable screen, try to personalize by clicking personalization button on the top right corner.
3. move fields from left ( available variables ) to right ( personalized variables )
4. Select some value for field from availble values
5. Also select the check box to show the variables ( bottom left corner) with personalization
6. Click on 'ok'.
After this if I try to execute the query I get error 'the value selected for variable is not correct', and if I click on 'personalize' to change/delete personalization, I get same error and basically I am struck there, neither can run the query nor can change the personalization, happening only with BI 7.0 GUI, happens on 2 machines that we installed new GUI .
I have searched the forum but could not see anything like my problem. Please let me know if anybody has faced the same and found solution.
Thanks,
BW_US

Yes, We are having SAP GUI 710, SAP Netwaever Support package stack (SPS) 12.
Even then the same issue. The issue is because I am thinking, the new personalization works in such a way that, the personalized variables are no longer seen on the variable screen. So, first if I got error for the personalized field, and the next time I run the query and dialog box appears, the personalized field will not be shown. But it should at least let me go to 'personalization' screen and then be able to change the data for that field.
Anybody faced the same ?

Show Variable Personalization

Hi All,
I would like to know what is the purpose of "Show Variable Personalization" in the WEB BEx.
I am in BI 7.
Regards, Federico

Hi ,
Personalization: You can personalize single variables or all variables in a Web application.
This means you assign the value(s) to a variable permanently or until you remove the
personalization. Personalization means you do not have to enter the value(s) for a
variable over and over again.

Variable Personalization setting is not allowed to change?

There is a setting in BW called variable Personalization which defaults per each user their variable selection upon query execution. Meaning if an End User ran a report for 3 vendors (VA, VB, VC) and refresh the query which would bring up the variable selection screen again these same Vendors would be pre-populated, which would make the end user have to delete these items if they wanted to run that query with a different selection criteria.
At the moment this Variable Personalization flag is check in Transaction SPRO in our BW. But there is a warning when we uncheck it with a msg "Action was not performed. Mark the checkbox.". Any idea on how to uncheck it?
Thanks

Kevin,
Activate Personalization in BEx
Use
This activity is for activating personalization in BEx. You can personalize the following elements:
BEx history, so that the last report executed by you is saved.
Variables, so that certain variables selected by you are proposed.
Web applications, so that report drilldowns are saved.
Once personalization has been activated it cannot be deactivated again
The field Activate Conversion of InfoObject Values in the Transfer Rules has no connection with activation of personalization. It is here at the moment due to technical reasons. You can find more information about converting technical InfoObject values in the SAP Library, underBusiness Content -> Cross-Application Master Data -> Consolidated InfoObjects for BP, Product and Product Category -> ODS Objects -> Conversion of DataSource Field into InfoObject
-Hope this helps

Variable Personalization for Web Templates

Hi,
Does anyone know of a method to personalize variable values for individual web templates. When I personalize a variable value while running the query on web, its value gets modified for all queries, not just the specific one that I am running.
This does not happen when I run the queries in BEx. Here I have the option of personalizing the variable values specific to the query that I am running (by using the icon at the bottom of the variable screen), or to personalize the variable value across all queries (by using the icon displayed with the individual variable).
Can anyone help me in achieving the same two options for queries run on web? I want to personalize variable values for individual queries.
Thanks
-Arif

Hi Arun
Thanks for your input, but the bookmarks or parameter passing will not give enough flexibility to the users.
For example:
Out of 10 available variables in the query, the user should have an option of selecting values for those that have not been personalized (say 7 variables) while the rest 3 get populated automatically because they have been personalized. In EACH run of the query, the user will have the flexibility to select a different value for the 7 variables.
This needs to be different for each query the user runs, even though the queries may use same variables as the other.
I am trying out some options. If it works, I shall let you know.
Regards

Variable Personalization - "Save Value" Variant Setting missing in Bex 7.x

Hallo Experts,
in Bex 3.x when creating a Variant (Button "Save All Variants" in the Variable Pop-Up) i was able to decide (via field "Save Values" in the "Save All Variants" Screen) wheter i want to save the values for a certain variable or not (NO_IMPORT).
In Bex 7.x i'm not able to find a functionality (corresponding to NO_IMPORT) to decide which variable should be saved in the variant.
Does anybody know if/where i can find this feature in BEX 7.x?
Thanks in advance,
Sabine

Hallo Den,
thanks for your reply!
Unfortunately this doesn't solve my problem. It's not about saving variants in Bex 7.x. But different behaviour in Bex 7.x compared to Bex 3.x.
In Bex 3.x when saving a variant it was possible to decide, whether a value for the variable should be saved or not (via drop down boxes in the "Save All Variants" screen).
In Bex 7.x i just can set the variable value to blank, if i don't want a value to be saved. I have no more settings here, as in Bex 3.x.
As a consequence: i can set mandatory variables to blank in a 3.x query, when i set "Save Values" for this variable to "NO". In Bex 7.X i will always get an Error Message ("enter a value for variable XY") when selecting a variant with mandatory variable = blank.
Best regards,
Sabine

Personalization of variables in WEB

Hi
I activated personalization of bex in the spro. It works fine in the query analyzer. But this doenst work in my portal queries.
I have gone thru this link but couldnt find out the exact place to create it.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/5b/0f853bc306900be10000000a114084/content.htm
1. Is personalization is specific to query or specific to the user?
2. Where exactly should i configure web variable personalization
thanks
Annie

Hi Annie,
To personalize the variable,
1.Open a query in Web Analyzer
2.Go to Filter link->Variable Screen button
This pops up a variable screen and shows the list of variables.
3.Click "Show Variable Personalization" and move the variables you want to personalize from General variables to Personalized variables.Check "Show Personalized Varaible" checkbox which allows you to see the personalized variables in the variable screen.
This is specific to that query.This is how you can personalize a variable in Web.

Personalization and History view in the BEx Open dialog box

We have personalization activated for BEx and have turned it on for :
     -Activate BEx History ON
     -Variables Personalization ON
     -Web Report Personalization ON
When users log in the History button appears when they attempt to open a BEx Query.
However when they click the History button the message "No Objects Found" appears.
These users have opened queries in the past and are not new IDs. We also created test IDs and generated some history by running queries and workbooks. When these test IDs try to open queries the history button still says "No Objects Found".
We are on NW2004s BI. Does anyone have a suggestion as to why this functionality is not working properly?
thank you in advance.

What versions of Photoshop and Windows are you running?
I ask, because running Photoshop CS5 and Windows 7 x64 when I select a view - e.g., Large Icons (which yields thumbnails) it sticks. Make sure you actually open a file after making the change.

Personalising variable values does not have the effect

Hello ,
When the variable is personalised with a value and executed the query for the second time the variable does not have the personalised values again and it waits to enter the input!
What is the reason behind this and are there any other settings to be done before personalising the variable value?
Thanks in advance!
Ram

Hi BW,
This is problem with one query or for all queries.
you first have to activate the personalization in the BW backend system (via transaction RS_PERS_ACTIVATE or via Customizing path BW Customizing Implementation Guide -> Business Information Warehouse -> Reporting-Relevant Settings -> General Reporting Settings -> Activate Personalization in BEx
And also check <a href="https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1056690&nlang=EN&smpsrv=https%3a%2f%2fwebsmp110%2esap-ag%2ede">Note 1056690 - Query Designer: Variable personalization is deleted</a>
Hope it Helps

Deleting Personalization

Hi All,
We have a problem with personalization in reports.
Once user has personalized some values we are not able to delete it.
We got few programs and function module to delete the personalization data but further analysing this I found that this programs are only deleting data from table RSWR_PERS. But the personalization data in our system is actually getting added to the table RSPERS_VAR and we could not find any program that would delete this personalization.
We are only SAP BW 7.3 and SP Level 8.
Any help on this front will be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Nayan Joshi

We've gain the following experiences.
Environment SAP BW 7.3 SP14.
When you switch on Variables Personalization (Report RS_PERS_ACTIVATE) and you don't have activate content DSO 0PERS_VAR, the personalization entries of the users are stored in table RSPERS_VAR. In this case the user can't deactivate the personalization values.
We've solved the problem in the following way. We've activate/transport the personalization DSO 0PERS_VAR in the target system. After that we've deactivate and activate again the Variables Personalization. Now the personalization entries were stored in active table of 0PERS_VAR (/BI0/APERS_VAR00). When a user deactivate an entry, the value will be deleted in the table and the personalization is deleted. All (old) entries in table RSPERS_VAR will be ignored.

BEx Analyzer issue

Hello Experts,
I am facing a problem with the query execution in the BEX analyzer.The problem is like this.
When the local user is trying to open a report in BW production system (which is available and seen in his roles) he is directly entering to Excel work book with out getting the selection screen and of course no data is seen in this work book.
But when the local key user is entering into the system with his own user Id he is able to see the report with a selection screen. That is, the query is working in normal mode.
Could you please help me to resolve this ssue.
Regards,

Hi,
What message displays in the Workbook results area when the local user tries to access it?
If a "No applocable data found" message is displayed after no selection screen was made available, you may find that the user made use of variable personalizations, in which case the variable screen will not appear again unless forced by making use of the "Change Query" button and selecting "Change Variable Values"
If a "You are not authorized...." message appears you will need to compare the roles of the local and key users, as this is then an authoriztion problem.
Regards
PS. Hi Chandu...

History in report prompts

We recently upgraded from 3.1 to 7.0. In the report prompt on 3.1 each field would save the history of values entered into that field. (i.e. if I typed 1000 in a plant prompt the next time I run the report it would remeber that I had typed 1000 and would suggest it as a possible value for this run.) The report prompt in 7.0 does not seem to offer this. Does anyone know how to turn this feature on for a 7.0 report prompt?
Thanks,
Chris
