Variable replacement path with another variable

Hi Guru's
I'd like to use the functionnality of replacement path from a variable.
Well, i have variable V_1 which is a basic manual entry variable based on a date infoobject. this variable is not mandatory and accessible.
And i have the variable V_2 which should be based on V_1 so i created V_2 with a process replacement path and in the replacement tab i put V_1 (i try with the list but i didn't find my V_1)
But the result is that V_2 is always empty but i have no problem when i check the query
So do you have any idea ?
Why i can not see the V_1 in the list of variable from the replacement ?
I don't want to use by exit. i know that it is possible but i want to use the main simple functionnality for flexibility is maintenance by users.
Thanks for help
Cyril

thanks for your answer,
svu123, my V_1 variable is of course in a correct status to be used. i made test in first without V_2.
And when i create V_2 in the first tab i activated correctly the replacement in processing type. if not i can not choose
the query or variable source and i can not see the list of variables.
Rakesh, i tried what you answered without results. i check different variables that are available in the list and i have
lots of different variables (all in ready for input) but i have interval, multiple single values, SAP standard variables my own variable on other fields.
any other ideas ?
many thanks
Cyril

Formula variable with replacement path to another input variable

Hi @ all,
i have a question regarding "Formula variable with replacement path to another input variable".
My Problem is that in selection screen and for info-fields the input variable is shown with its key and not with its description.
Scenario:
A formula variable (X) is used to get an input value of a characteristic variable (Y) for 0Fiscper3 to realize a IF-Then scenario.
The formula variable (X) uses replacement path by variable (Y) replace by "key".
In selection screen of the query variable (Y) is named with its key "ZAB_BUPE01" and not with its description " fiscal period". Same as for info-fields where the description is "ZAB_BUPE01" and not " fiscal period".
Does anybody have a solution to display the selection variable correctly?
Regards
Tobias

Issue Solved!
The input varaible (y) for 0Fiscper3 was saved globally on the InfoProvider. This results in that the formula variable with replacement path only shows its technical name. I put the input variable in the query itself and it soved the problem. The variable is displayed with its description in selection screen.

How do I...Mimic Replacement Path with Query using Customer Variable Exits?

Hello SDN:
We are on BW 3.5 SP16.
We are currently using a replacement path Query(RP) with variables
to populate a variable in another Query(T).
The problem we are having is with performance.
The entry of variables in replacement path Query(RP) is optional (This is necessary there cannot be required values)
When results from Replacement Path Query are small performance is fine. (e.g. 10 seconds)
When results from Replacement path query are large performance suffers. (e.g. 1+ minutes)
Users are free to leave the replacement path variables empty resulting in a large set of data to be replaced. This is the worst performance case.
We would like to discover a way to conditionally execute the replacement path query. That is if users do not enter values for the replacement Query(RP) variables do not execute the replacement path query(RP).
Does anyone know if this is possible within reason and in customer exit space?
We have reviewed the situation from all angles and the requirement for the replacement path FUNCTIONALITY and the freedom for the user to leave variable values blank remains.
I've been searching and reading SDN and SAP notes for about a week and do not find threads which address this situation.
We are also exploring Customer variable exits to mimic replacement path functionality
(different topic subject="How do I...Mimic Replacement Path with Query using Customer Variable Exits?")
Any help will be appreciated
Many thanks

My appologies-I posted this message with the wrong subject. I will repost it with appropriate subject.

Need some clarification on Replacement Path with Variable

Hello Experts,
Need some clarification on Replacement Path with Variable.
We have 2 options with replacement path for characteristic variables i.e.
1) Replace with query
2) Replace with variable.
Now, when we use "Replace with variable" we give the variable name. Then we get a list for "Replace with" as follows:
1) Key
2) External Characteristic Value Key
3)Label
4)Attribute value.
I need detailed explanation for the above mentioned 4 options with scenarios.
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone give me examples of replacement path with query?

hi all,
Can anyone give me examples of replacment path with query. if u have any docs pls send it across to my email id [email protected]
thanxs
hari

Here is an example:
Lets assume you have a characteristic( Say Project) with about 30 attributes. now your requirement is to display all 30 attributes and about 10 keyfigures and another characteristic and it's attributes...
If Project has about 25K projects in a Year,you will find its very difficult to diasply all the inofmation with one Query.(you may get disconnected from server after executing the query)..
So firstly,create a Query1 only with Project and keyfigures.
then create another Query2 only with Project and its attributes...here create a variable on Projeect with replacementpath and select the Query1.So you will have the Projects only from Query1.
Create Query3 with Project and other chars.create one more variable on Project with replacementpath select Query1 result. So this Query also gets Projects from Query1...
Now Query2 and Query3 get Projects from Query1 always...so you will have same Projects in your all 3 Queries..
Now crate a workbook and insert 3 Queries.make sure you insert Query1 lastly.Since last inserted query will be executed first...
You may use VBA or excel functionality if you want to see whole data in one sheet.
Hope this helps.

Using Variable Replacement Path with Hierarchies

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have two product hierarchies.
In my report I want the user to be able to select which hierarchy they view at run time.
I want them to be able to see this hierarchy as a tree,in order for me to do this I first must inlcude one variable to specify which hierarchy i am going to use, then the next Variable2 is populated by Variable1 and allows the users to expand on that hierarchy tree.
E.g
At Run Time
Selection 1: User selects Product Hierarchy1
Selection 2: Gets automatically populated based on selection 1 to show the product hierarchy tree for this variable.
I have tried using replacement paths to do this but it does not allow this.
Any ideaS?
Thanks

It finally worked, looks like the reason it was not working was a Query Designer exception issue whihc went with a re-start of Query Designer.
All good

Dear Experts,
We are facing problem where we had a query in which we are having the characteristic External Notiifcation and created varaible for the same and this variable is getting replaced with Output of another query i,e the procesing type for this variable is Replacement path.
We had results for the query which we are using in the replacement path and also the same values exists in the cube on which we built the second query in whcih we are using the Replacement path.
when we execute the current query,query was not showing any output.Any suggestions would be of great help.

Replacement Path with query---error

Hi
I have one query 'B' which uses replacement path variable(with query A) on 'Customer' infoobject in Global filter area.
So everytime,I execute query 'B',first query 'A' runs and gives some customers list who are active yesterday and today.This active customers list is fed into replacement variable in query 'B' and query 'B' shows its own result.
The problem,we have is,Query 'B' is showing some customers who are not in the list returned by query 'A'.
Any ideas,how I can fix this problem?
Thanks.............

Hi
Thanks for your reply.
Both run on same Multiprovider.
First thing is...this Customer infoobject is placed in Global filter area of Main Query and the infoobject has replacement path variable(with query on it).So the main query's data is limited to whatever customers that are given by replacement path query.
how can Main query show some customers data thats not been given by this replacement path query?
Second thing is...when user reported this error,he showed error in screenshots.When I ran query today,error is gone.Its showing correct.I reported to user and he informed that its happening now and then ....He gave one more example that happened today which is exactly of some type.....Main Query is showing customers that are not given by Replacement path query .....
Any ideas?Thanks

Batch replace color with another color

Hi,
I would desperately need some assistance in trying to accomplish batch editing of ai-files via JavaScript.
What I would need to do, is go through a number (many!) of files, find items with certain swatch color (referenced by its name), and replace the item-fill with another swatch-color (also referenced by its name). Then save the document with another name.
Other parts I have managed to do, except find/compare/modify the fill color of an item.
I have gone through these forums and tried a number of things to a point where I am currently very confused and frustrated
Some details (if it helps any), I'm using Illustrator CS3 and JavaScript.
Here's the closest where I got with trying to find a certain color and eventually changing it:
#target illustrator
var sourceFile, findColor, replaceColor;
sourceFile = new File().openDlg('Please select your Illustrator file…');
open(sourceFile);
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
findColor = docRef.swatches.getByName("vih");
// replaceColor not yet used anywhere
replaceColor = docRef.swatches.getByName("sin");
for(var obj = docRef.pageItems.length - 1; obj >= 0; obj--) {
    if(docRef.pageItems[obj].fillColor == findColor) {
        alert("Match found"); //It never seems to get here, so my comparison clearly is not working?
    else {
        alert ("No specified color found!");
docRef.close();
(and yes, I'm completely new with java-scripting, so even this is constructed from bits of sample-scripts and other scripts found from these forums)
Please, I would really appreciate any help, this can't really be such a difficult task to do... can it?
BR,
Johanna

I only tried a very basic test in my case ALL path items were filled with various CMYK swatches and the swap did take place so the comparison did work. I would suspect that you have a path item that contains NO fill so any of its properties would be undefined. You can also include this in your code too. This should work for both filled and stroked path items in CMYK art.
#target illustrator
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
with (docRef) {
var findColor = swatches.getByName('vih').color;
var replaceColor = swatches.getByName('sin').color;
for (var i = 0; i < pathItems.length; i++) {
if (pathItems[i].filled == true) {
with (pathItems[i].fillColor) {
if (cyan == findColor.cyan && magenta == findColor.magenta && yellow == findColor.yellow && black == findColor.black) {
$.writeln('True');
cyan = replaceColor.cyan, magenta = replaceColor.magenta, yellow = replaceColor.yellow, black = replaceColor.black;
} else {
$.writeln('False');
if (pathItems[i].stroked == true) {
with (pathItems[i].strokeColor) {
if (cyan == findColor.cyan && magenta == findColor.magenta && yellow == findColor.yellow && black == findColor.black) {
$.writeln('True');
cyan = replaceColor.cyan, magenta = replaceColor.magenta, yellow = replaceColor.yellow, black = replaceColor.black;
} else {
$.writeln('False');

Backup DC past tombstone and need help replacing it with another DC with the same name and IP

Hey Everyone
We have a single domain in a forest with 2 DCs with AD integrated DNS configured. The primary DC with all the FSMO roles is a VM (Server 2008 R2) and the backup DC is a physical server (Server 2008 non-R2).
The backup DC's hardware is very old and has been giving us a lot of issues where the system would intermittently BSOD, freeze, black screen only etc. and as a result, the server was turned off for a very long time, definitely beyond the default tombstone
lifetime of either 60 or 180 days.
We want to replace this bad backup DC with another physical server which became available as a spare and is much newer and in a working condition hardware wise. We also wish to ultimately give it the same name (FQDN) and IP to basically make it an outright
replacement for the current bad backup DC.
My questions are:
1.) If we are in a position where the bad server could possibly physically boot and start the operating system and have network connectivity, will we be able to use DCPROMO as one would normally do to demote this DC, or will it have to be done forcefully,
while keeping in mind as I said that the DC is way past the tombstone lifetime period?
2.) If it has to be done forcefully, I am aware that the meta data needs to be cleaned up in AD on the working primary DC, although I have never performed such a process before. If this is done, are there any other things I need to look out for or do
before I attempt to replace it with the other server which I will set up wit the same name (FQDN) and IP, then add to the domain, and then lastly promote as per normal using DCPROMO?
I know we will have to upgrade the scema to 2012RM as the replacement backup DC will be running this newer operating system.
Anything else you wish to add or point out to me would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Regards,
CTV

Replacement path with build in condition

Hi BI guru
There is a requirement to count the no of 0material that with sales qty vs 0material with stock on hand. I am using replacement path to count the 0material. The calculated result not as expected as system will count all the 0material regardless of sales qty or stock on hand. Can friends share with me how can I achieve it in the query?
Regards
Kang Ring

Hi,
I had tried the formula. The count result is incorrect at summary level unless we drill down to 0material. The requirement is to count the no of material and show it in summary level.
