Variable screen is missing

Hi All,
We are facing a weird issue, that variable screen is missing while executing query in Bex, however we are able to get variable entry screen in RSRT and Web bex.
1. Variable type : Characteristic values
2. Processing type : User entry and entry is optional.
3. We have checked ready for user input
Please let us know is there any work around / missing any settings to resolve this issue.
Regards
Venki

Hello Venki,
If you are using Abap Web, and the SAP default template (you can check via RSCUSTV21 transaction), open the template
0ADHOC with Web Application Designer 3.x .
On Properties select 0ADHOC -> WebItem TAB:
> Check the box "Force Variable Screen Display"
However, If you are using BI Java Web, and the SAP default template (you can check via RSCUSTV27 transaction), open the template 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN with Web Application Designer 7.0.
On WEBTEMPLATE properties -> -> WebTemplate Paramenters TAB:
> Check the Box Display Variable Screen to ON.
This will solve the issue.
Best regards,
Edward

Variable Screen not displaying correctly

Our BW install is BI 7.0, with BEx still in the BI 3.5. We do not have any web-based reporting. We have deployed the SAP 7.20 GUI with front-end patch 4. One office is testing the installation with Win 7, Office 2010. When executing a workbook from BEx Browser it takes a long time for Excel to initialize and then when the variable screen does appear there are missing descriptions. A mouse over or a check of the variables will repaint that screen and populate the missing descriptions.
Has anyone experienced this issue? I have tried to recreate this issue, but I have not been successful. The installation has been redone several times and testing is consistent.
Thank you for your time.
Karen

Karen,
Thank you for your reply. The installation of the GUI was on a PC that was completely clean. Since this is in a test environment, the IT office had that luxury. They did a fresh install of MS Office and then the SAP GUI. We ran the installation check earlier today and are reviewing the results to determine why this particual install is not working.
Thanks!
Karen

Variable screen not refreshing

I get the variable popup when I run this particular report. If I put in my selection in the variables and run the query, I get my reselts.
However, when I click on the refresh button to bring back the variable popup to run the query again, I am missing the variables I selected previously. When i run the report, I still see the same selections as before.
It seems there is some kind of caching. Am I correct? How do I resolve this?
i have tried generating the report. I tried $SYNC.
Can you help, please

Jimi,
You will have to mmake the variable mandatory and not optional and that way when you refresh your query in BeX , the variable screen pops up again.
In WAD there is a setting called " Force Variable Input" which will do the trick for you.

BW Statistics - Runtime for Variable Screen Processing?

Hi,
Am trying to generate key figure below
-> Runtime (until Variable Screen generated)
-> Runtime from Variable Screen until Report Generation
Anyone has knowledge how to get this? I tried using 0TCT_C01/2 but i can't find any object that tells me exactly this steps. Am i missing somehting?
Thanks
eddie

Thanks Josh. The statistics cube contains all the events occured when executing the report all the way to generating the report. However, we want to distinguish the runtime between selection screen generation and execution of report.
In the stats cube, though there are all runtimes for all events, but there is no events or fields that tell me exactly where is the start and end time of these two steps i requires.
anyone has done this before? At the end we want to achieve this report
             Select Screen Rendering Report Exec Total
Web Tmpl 1   2.5 seconds              15 seconds   17.5s
Web Tmpl 2   1 seconds                4 seconds    5s
thanks

Message on a Variable Screen

Hi Experts,
I need to display an Information Message on a (WAD)Variable Screen. Is it possible? If yes, How?

Can we load data in variable screen from flat file?

Hello all,
One of my user once asked me she needs to run a report for some employees, i said you can just type that in employee varaible input box.
She said I need to run the report and I need it for 120 employees, she has the employee numbers in excel sheet.
What is the best way of doing this if any ?
Thanks

This can be done from a flat file, which has list of all values.
If you are using Bex 3.5, then we have an icon in variable screen bottom right to upload values, where we can specify the path of the file.

Compounded characteristic are not displayed in the variable screen (BI 700)

Hi Experts,
How to display compounded characteristic in the variable screen of queriies?
Example :
IO 0PROFIT_CTR is compounded to 0CO_AREA. Tryimg to select 0PROFIT_CTR via a variable,
only values of 0PROFIT_CTR are displayed in F4 opo up, not those of 0CO_AREA.
0CO_AREA is not restricted in any way in query definiton.
This happens in BEx Analyser as well as in web apllication.
Did anybody face this issue? How to solve it?
Thanks in advance for helpful replies.
Regards
Joe

Hi,
Thanks for replies. Possibly I did't explain my problem i a correct way.
'I 've a variable for 0PROFIT_CTR. When I call F4 , values for 0PROFIT_CTR are displayed
e.g. as
7062 PC 7062
7062 PC /062
My problem is, that these PCs belong to different Co_areas. so i expected
3200 7062 PC 7062
4300 7062 PC 7062
3200 an 4300 are representing compounded Co_areas in this example. In 3.5 this worked perfectly,
if Co_areas was not restricted itself with a variable or a defined value.
Now I'm looking for the option to achieve this as well in 700.
Regards
Joe

Variable screen performance in report

In my project we are having somany master data objects,
we have to find the performance of selection screen ,earlier we have only display as selection screen as key now according to our client requirment we are providing both key and text in sleection screen with long text , how can i find these master data objects performance in variable screen.
The SAP std out of the box setting for an Infoobject is usually the key.( Sometimes text )
We are now making changes to almost all info objects to display as key and text, and depending on what business is asking we are changing to Long text, medium or short.
Investigation required
1)       how does it affect the performance when we do F4 help
2)       how does it help in search by text
3)       what difference does it make when searching by key vs text.
My feel is if we show the key and text , definitely the key comes from Dimension table and the text will be fetched from the text table of the master data attribute
And hence for business partner etc it might really affect the time taken to fetch the variable values.
please help how to find the performance of variables.

Yeah, It won't have much impact on the performance of the selection screen.......
Even we are displaying both key and text for many reports but never faced a performance issue.......

Pop up message on the variable screen in portal when report is run

Hello
I have a requirement to pop up a message stating " Date should not be entered before 2010 "on the variable screen of the report if date is entered before 2010 by the user when the report is run.
Please can someone tell me how to implement this?
thanks

Hi Tom,
The logic could be to include code in CMOD forat variable with ISTEP=2.
IF I_STEP = 2.
LOOP AT i_t_var_range into wa_t_var_range where vnam = 'Date Varaible'
<write condition to check the year entered. First, using function module DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT, extract year from Date>
<   CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT'
        EXPORTING
          I_DATE               = ZT_SDT
        I_MONMIT             = 00
          I_PERIV              = 'Variant'
       IMPORTING
         E_BUPER              = zbuper
         E_GJAHR              = zbdatj this is the year entered
       EXCEPTIONS
         INPUT_FALSE          = 1
         T009_NOTFOUND        = 2
         T009B_NOTFOUND       = 3
         OTHERS               = 4>
>
Then check the year for the condition.
If correct.
exit.
else.
CALL FUNCTION 'RRMS_MESSAGE_HANDLING'
EXPORTING
I_CLASS = 'RSBBS'
I_TYPE = 'E'
I_NUMBER = '000'
I_MSGV1 = 'Date should not be entered before 2010'.
raise again.
endif.
endif.
endloop.
Hope this helps you.!

F4 input help on Variable screen is not working on Portal

Dear Experts,
We are facing one issue when we run the WAD report on portal, variable screen gets hang after clicking on input help button (F4) for couple of variables. We are facing same issues when we run the base queries on portal. But when we run the same base queries in RSRT (Tcode) or in BEx Analyzer we are not facing this issue and able to get the input help screen with values.
I also have gone through some old posts related to such issues but didn't help much. We are already on SAP BW 7.4 SP Level 008 and for Char IO Query Filter Value setting is kept as "Values in Master Data Table" only. This is a MD IO with Compounding.
Kindly let me know if anyone has faced such issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Nilesh

Dear Martin,
There is a no long running work process in the backend and data volume is more in Master Data Table, there are around 19 Lacks records available.
For BI Java patch and defaultTrace for errors I will check it with BASIS Admin team. Unfortunately I don’t have rights to do same.
Thanks,
Nilesh

Variable screen/variant screen authorization issue

HI All,
We have implemented standard Cost Center Overview Report(0SR_C02_Q0002) in BI 7.
We have three selection fields:
1.Company Code which is mandatory
2.My controlling Area which is also mandatory
3.Costcenter which is not mandatory
The requirement we are facing over here is that in the Variable screen/variant screen when I enter a company code, then I need to display dynamically only those "My Controlling Area" values which are assigned to that particular company code and not all. In the same way after selecting the appropriate "My controlling area" value, I need to display only those cost centers in the cost center selection field which are assigned to the selected company code and My controlling area combination and not all.
can anyone guide me on how to go about on this authorization issue at the variable screen itself.
Please treat this issue/requirement on high priority.
Appreciated in advance.
Regards,
raps.

Hi,
I think that an alternative to solve your concern could be using Web Application Designer (WAD). In this respect, there are several design options, with different levels of complexity.
As the simplest alternative, you could create a WAD including your query and three Dropdown Boxes: one for Company, a second for Controlling area and another for Cost center. The four mentioned elements should be linked to the same dataprovider so, when you select a company, the options in the other two Dropdown boxes and the information in the query are updated.
In order to enforce mandatory filter selection at Company and Controlling area level, you should set NO_REMOVE_FILTER='X' in both two Dropdown boxes, so that "All values" option -which would mean no filtering- is not offered.
I hope this helps you.
Regards,
Maximiliano

Bookmark Issue in WAD (Report Output without Variable Screen)

Hi ,
This issue is with the Saving of Report Output to Bookmark.
Expected Output:
Clicking on the Bookmark should bring out the Report Output with the Period and Year, which was used while saving the Bookmark. It should not pop up variable screen at the beginning.
Issue:
Currently, when I click the bookmark, Its triggers the default template and it brings out the Variable Screen with the default Selections, which i dont want to. I need to get the same output with the values which I saved under Bookmark.
Please suggest me a solution...
Thanks / Selvan

Hi, i dont rememberm but, can you check mark you DP_1 and properties->Behavior->Display variables screen->on

Message at the variable screen

Hello,
I would like that message pops up at the variable screen during the execution of the report.
How can I implement this functionality?

Hi,
Use the following Code, don't write in between Case and EndCase, after ENDCASE you write code for I_STEP = 3.

Variable Screen Refresh in IP

Hi Gurus,
I am useing Tabs in my Layouts, onces the user in layout after entering the Variables. he can move from one tab to another tab.
We have provided the option Variable button in order the changes the variables. so when the user clicks on this button.
i used this Command used: Open_Variable_Dialog.
I get this message on top of the Variable screen: Please Select a Valid Info Object.
How to get raid of this messages and when the user clicks on the Variable Button ( I want to clear all the Variables that user has entered for this first time so that he can enter it again) i tried useing the REMOVE ALL FILTER VALUES and SET Variables State but this did not work.
Any Idea how the Command Sequence should be in order to achive this.
Thanks

Hi Josef,
My Default view is fine.
User can see
-     Plant
-     BA
-     PH 1
-     PH 2
-     PH 3
-     PH 4
User can enter any of these PH Levels and enter the layout. Once they are in the layout I have provided with the variable screen button on top of the Tabs. My Container Layout is like this (Rows Cell Floating)ROW 1 Buttons and Row 2 Tabs.
So when the Click on the Row one Button (Variable Screen) the Variable Entry is opened and it is the same order as Default View but on top if the Variable Entry I see this Error message on Top of this Screen (Please select a Valid InfoObject).
But I did try your option having to separate Container Layout. Still I see this message on top of the Variable screen. which i am trying to get rid
Thanks

Display message in BEx variable screen in 7.0

In BEx 3.5 I was able to display a message to the user when they enter a value they are not authorized for in the variable screen. This was done using the function module RRMS_MESSAGE_HANDLING in the variable user exit at step 3 and raising no_replacement.
This is no longer working as of BEx frontend 7.0. Is there a way (or different function module) I can display a message to the users on the variable screen?
