Variable screen for Selective Retraction

Dear All,
We are planning for selective retraction using user defined variables assigned at planning level. We want to have a front end to be given to the user other than BPS0 tcode to execute this.
We have tried to create tcode using SAP standard function module 'API_SEMBPS_FUNCTION_EXECUTE' . This does not provide for inputing variable values upon execution.
Kindly advise in this regard.
Regards,
Saritha.

Hi !
I think you can manage this using the BPS API:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2e/260a8563b111d4b2ea0050dadfb23f/frameset.htm
Did you have had a look at it ?
Cheers,
Philipp

   How can i achieve the same for a BI 7 query view. Please guide.

Hi Rakesh,
    What you said is right but my concern is that next time when i open the query view variable screen shouldn't appear ie should run with previously stored variable values. I am working with BI 7 query view. Please guide.

How to set up web variable screen for filtering by attributes

Hi out there,
My problem deals with the query variable selection screen in the web. I would like to filter some variables by their attributes in the same way it is done in the navigation item, but in the selection screen I have only the characteristic values in the F4 help available. Is there a way to adjust or extend the selection screen so that I can also filter by attributes (without having to modify the corresponding ABAP Class)?
By the way this functionality exists for selection screen in BEx, so why doesn't it exist in the web?
I'd appreciate any idea.
thanx,
Heiko

The most direct way to do this is modifying the principal infoobject and make this attribute as NAVIGATIONAL.....this allows you to see this attribute as a characteristic in Query Designer and you could use it with a filter....
I hope this helps you

Issue with Data Provider name in variable screen for BEx Analyzer

Hello all,
We got an issue with Data Provider name in Variable screen in BEx Analayzer.
We want to change the DataProvider name there to Description of the report instead of its Technical name.
Any inputs are appreciated.
Thanks
Kumar

You have to create a workbook to do this.
Refresh your query/report. In Bex analyser, there is one toolbar named BEx design toolbox, If you are not able to see it in analyser, right click on the toolbar space of BEx analyser and click on BEx design toolbox. Here, goto to design mode, by clicking on a sysbol like 'A'. after that place the curser where you want to see the Query description. and click on insert text (T) in BEx toolbox. click on it and check "Query description" in constant tab. in the general tab you need to assign a dataprovider, for that assign your query name in workbook settings (in Bex design toolbox). also check the "display caption" in general tab.

Input Negative values in selection screen for select-options field

I am not able enter negative values for
SELECT-OPTIONS V_ERFMG FOR MSEG-ERFMG.
It says negative values are not allowed but I need to check for negative values. Kindly provide me solution.

You can't put the negative values here...because the Domain which is attached to MSEG-ERFMG has not the "Sign" checkbox on.
Try with this code:
tables:wbrp.
SELECT-OPTIONS V_ERFMG FOR WBRP-menge.

Variable Screen for 3.5 BEx Queries In EP 6.0 Iviews

Friends,
Does anyone know how to force the variable screen in an EP 6.0 Iview based on a 3.x BW. I have a query written in Web BEx with several optional variables. When I launch this from Web BEx it stops at the variable screen.
The problem is that when I run this query from an Iview in EP 6.0 it bypasses the variable screen and goes directly to the data. In the web application designer I can set the flag to force the variable screen, is there a similar feature in Web BEx or is there a parameter setting in the iView that would work?
Thanks
Kevin

Here's an extract from the log message:
Caused by: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0
     at java.util.ArrayList.RangeCheck(ArrayList.java:539)
     at java.util.ArrayList.get(ArrayList.java:356)

     at com.sap.pct.hcm.editappraisalformular.r3proxies.Web_Evaluation_AppraisersTypeList.getWeb_Evaluation_AppraisersType(Web_Evaluation_AppraisersTypeList.java:98)
Does it seem like a Customizing error? Am wondering if the iview is trying to access some table that has no entries in it.

Variable Screen for BEx Web ( Changing "Save As" to "Save Variable")

A cosmetic change...on the Variable Entry screen we have a button to save variant defaulted to the text "Save As". As our needs, the text on the button needs to be changed to "Save Variable".
Any possiblities...??
Thanks in advance...
Maci

Hi Maci,
Unfortunatly there is no possibility to change the entries in the standard variable screen. The only thing you could change here is the format (eg. colour) by using the theme editor.
Best regards,

Dynamic variable Time for Select

Hi,
I try to develop some scripts but always I have the same problem , when I try to put in a Select instruction the variable Time, it doesn´t work correctly (for example):
*SELECT(%example%,"ID","TIME","[ID]='%TIME_SET%' ")
It doesn´t read correctly the variable Time_Set.
Have you got any idea to try to do selects using dynamic variable?
Thanks for all.

Hi,
Dynamic variables like %TIME_SET% do not interact very well with the compiled default logic (LGX files) when it is run after a data send. If you look at the Default.LGX file, you will notice that your *SELECT statement does not appear there because that *SELECT statement has already been compiled. That is why the logic works when it is run via the debugger (because the LGF file is getting executed at run time) and it does not work when it is run via a data send (because the LGX is being executed).
What you will need to do is:
1. Create a another logic file (for example: Calculation1.LGF) and copy the text from the Default.LGF to this new logic file.
2. Place the following text in the Default.LGF file:
*RUNLOGIC
*LOGIC=Calculation1.LGF
*ENDRUNLOGIC
3. Validate and save the Default.LGF file
Now try running the logic after a data send and see if that works.
Good luck,
John

F4 on Variable Screen for a DataStore Object Produces Long Run Time

We experiencing a long run time in returning values when we select F4 for the Variable 0COMP_CODE when we process query for a DataStore. Before our upgrade to NW04S, we did not experience this issue. As background, the DataStore (ODS) has not changed, the variable has not changed, and the query has not changed.
0COMP_CODE has the following configuration in RSD1:
Query Def. Filter Value Selection Values in Master Data Table
Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn Only Posted Values for Navigation.
These settings are exactly like this in our BW 3.5 system.
In my review of the differences, I found that in BW 3.5, the runtime is short because the selection that is returned is the Company Codes in the Master Data table, but in NW04S, the selection that is returned is the Company Codes within the ODS.
Has anyone experienced this before and if so what was your resolution?
Thanks!

Query Execution Filter Val. Selection should help you a lot in improving performance for F4.
Three options are available for the Query Execution Filter Val. Selection field on the BEx tab that directly affect F4 searches.
The Only Posted Values for Navigation setting limits an F4 search to the values related to the querys navigation state. It is the recommended setting if youre working with less savvy BW end users who may have trouble identifying applicable values or are confused when faced with long lists of characteristics. This setting yields the slowest performance in terms of the F4 search.
Only Values in InfoProvider is a better option if you need a list of characteristic values for a variable that is limited to the transactional records in the InfoProvider that a query is being executed against. This setting is ideal for restricting users to the appropriate source when data is available in different InfoProviders with different values. For example, lets say you have an InfoCube with billing data for Europe and another for the US. Each sales office will have different values, so by using this setting a variable can be restricted to the correct values.
The Values in Master Data Table setting allows users to list all possible characteristic values when they run F4. Recommend that you use it when you have transactional records for almost all the values across InfoProviders and users are aware of the relevance of the values for the navigation state.
While the Values in Master Data Table setting is the fastest F4 search setting, you need to be aware of a couple of situations when using it. Users with authorization restrictions may have an F4 list returned with all the values from the master data table, but a subsequent query may not report the result. Instead it will generate an error message informing the user of the authorization restriction. Likewise, users may select values from the master data table that are not valid for the current query due to other restrictions. There may not be any records for an InfoObject in its underlying InfoProvider designed for a query, so the system returns a no applicable data found message.

F4 on Variable Screen for a DataStore Object Produces hangs after upgrad

We experiencing a long run time in returning values when we select F4 for the Variable 0CALMONTH, when we process query for a DataStore. Before our upgrade to NW04S, we did not experience this issue. As background, the DataStore (ODS) has not changed, the variable has not changed, and the query has not changed.
0CALMONTH has the following configuration in RSD1:
Query Def. Filter Value Selection Only values in info-provider
Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn Only values in Info-provider
These settings are exactly like this was in our BW 3.5 system.
I changes below settings
Query Def. Filter Value Selection Values in Master Data table
but it does not make difference as 0CALMONTH does not have master data table defined.
Can you please let me know your thoughts. If you have experiesnced this situation before.
Thanks,
Ishak

Hello,
Refer to note 984229.
F4 accesses the DSO post upgrade in 7.X and hence the time.
It is possible to improve the time by creating index in DSO or following other advice as mentioned in 984229. read mode M.

Variable Screen for Query Views.

Hi All:
I have a Base Query and 4 views on it. The variable (ZVAR1) is defaulted to ALL in base Query. In View 1 it should be ONE, View 2 it should be TWO....how can I make this possible? This is Text varaible that changes for each view.
Thanks a lot!!
Manasa.

Hi Manasha,
Run the query 4 times with 4 values respectively 1,2,3,4 for zvar1 and save them as four views.
This is going to serve your purpose.

Copy 'Favorites' in 'Select Values for Variables' screen

I need to copy a list that I created as a 'Favorite' in the 'Select Values for Variables' screen for Customer to all the other userids so that everyone is using the same list of customers. Can someone tell me the table(s) where these values are stored? Is there a function module or program available that copies 'Favorites'.
It would be nice if you could select if the 'Favorites' you create can be 'Global'.
Thanks.

the variant values are stored in RSRPARAMETRIZA. the field content stores in XML format. you can write an ABAP program to read and update it.
