Variable Screen

Hi,
Can we show a 'Information Message' on the variable screen for 1 particular query! I have a user exit variable in the query and I believe I can use this user exit variable to show the information message on the varable screen. When we run the query, we should see the variable screen with message on top of it.

Hi Rahul,
I doubt the first requirement is possible.
To have a pop-up message after we click on Print version button, please check these threads:
Pop Up to be displayed on Export to excel button click
user specific pop-up system message
Hope these helps..!

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?
Thanks

Hi,
Have a look on this thread Edit variable selection screen
You can make use of the class CL_RSR_WWW_Variable_screen for your requirement,

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.

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.

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

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?

How to show a variable screen when clicking on direct link of report in ,when that report is used as target in RRI alsoRRI

Hi All,
I have created RRI between two reports and the type is web template/WAD.
My requirement is to show the variable screen of target report when clicked on direct link and it should not show the var. screen if it goes from jump/go to.
while currently I can not see var. screen on both the places and when switching the var. scree. display on in web template , it shows the screen at both the places.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Anu

Hi Anu,
"And when I am using another var. in assignment details which is ready for input (in both the queries), its not helping."
Did you try using such a variable? What kind of a problem do you face? I am sorry I am still trying to understand your problem. I am just saying that which variable you use is not important for the first query. Only in the second query, add a variable with ready for input (I am not sure why the other doesn't work, I just tried and it gave an error, that's why I suggest this) and in RRI connection make the assignment with this variable. Please try this and let me know the result.

Variable screen performance in BEx - post upgrade to BI7

Hello,
We have recently upgraded to BI7 - SP16. We are using the 710 gui, patch level 3. Bex version is 3.5, patch level 6.
Since we have upgraded, we have been experiencing a major performance hit when opening the variable screen of a query, as well as navigating within the variable screen. We are using the Excel version of BEx.
When we were on 3.5, opening the variable screens only took about 5 seconds, now it takes 30. To use F4 for the dropdown lists, in 3.5 it took about 3 seconds, now it takes 15. To enter multiple selections, it took 1 second, in BI7 it takes 15.
Our users, needless to say are getting very frustrated with the performance. The query execution time is comparable to when we were on 3.5.
I have this open as a high priority issue with sap, but they have yet to come up with a fix.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?
Thanks
Charla

Hi

I think note 1044219 is important for you:
1. The BEx Web Analyzer executes queries before the system displays the variable dialog. This cannot be avoided.
2. You cannot prevent the BEx Web Analyzer from saving variables in the workbook and using them again when you reopen it.
Additional it includes other notes and hints regarding performance in variable screen and F4 help.

Hi Gurus,
Problem Description - When any query is opened through u2018Web BEx Analyzeru2019->u2019New Analysisu2019 button in portal , variable screen is shown and report is getting executed. Again, if we open same query from u2018Web BEx Analyzeru2019->u2019New Analysisu2019 (Donu2019t close the session use same session), Variable screen will NOT be shown at Second time. Directly, Query will be executed with previous Variable values & result will be shown.

Paul,
I have experienced similar issues with the behaviour of variable selection screens e.g. variable screen appears in the Bex Excel version but not the web version. One of our consultants has suggested that the behaviour depends on whether the variables are optional or mandatory, something I've yet to confirm.
