BW-BPS Attribute variable selections issues
Hi Marc / Gerd,
I am using an attribute variable on material that has a lot of filters for values on material group, material type, EANUPC, and even a date such as created date / product start date (reference 0date).
The function /layout has issues if the selection has no material choosen and I know we needed to create exit variables on a previous project (someone else did the ABAP and I set out the spec) to do material group / category selection based on material attribute and the material group variable.
Any other good options or work arounds since we cannot use variable in attribute variables?
Thanks,
MaryHi Marc,
1. I checked the layout configuration and the config was transported okay to QA so the field that I want to input does not have compariable checked and it should be open for input.
2. there are no data slices yet.
3. Validation check - that might be an issue. The BW loads originally had some master data not loaded in BWQ and have some mapping not occuring as it should and I have been asking for them for the last 2 load cycles. I was told all missing master data have been since loaded and I need to ask for a load of the transaction again but the BW person is waiting for some missing mapping. Also we had to document enabled some infoobjects.
But the category we are using for the integration testing should have all the master data correctly set up since I checked on it end of last week. Do I have to set up some system settings for the document server? Do I need to force it to regenerate after some transports?
The master data we used for the 2 systems are different since the DEV has very little master data and some were manually maintained or uploaded via flat files. The BW QA has a lot of master data since R/3 QA has been refreshed recently.
Thanks,

Performance issues with query input variable selection in ODS
Hi everyone
We've upgraded from BW 3.0B to NW04s BI using SP12.
There is a problem encountered with input variable selection. This happens regardless of using BEx (new or old 3.x) or using RSRT. When using the F4 search help (or "Select from list" in BEx context) to list possible values, this takes forever for large ODS (containing millions of records).
Using ST01 and SM50 to trace the code in the same query, we see a difference here:
<u>NW04s BI SQL command</u>
SELECT
"P0000"."COMP_CODE" AS "0000000032" ,"T0000"."TXTMD" AS "0000000032_TXTMD"
FROM
( "/BI0/PCOMP_CODE" "P0000" ) LEFT OUTER JOIN "/BI0/TCOMP_CODE" "T0000" ON "P0000"."COMP_CODE" = "T0000
"."COMP_CODE"
WHERE
"P0000"."OBJVERS" = 'A' AND "P0000"."COMP_CODE" IN ( SELECT "O"."COMP_CODE" AS "KEY" FROM
"/BI0/APY_PP_C100" "O" )
ORDER BY
"P0000"."COMP_CODE" ASC#
<u>BW 3.0B SQL command:</u>
SELECT ROWNUM < 500 ....
In 3.0B, rownum is limited to 500 and this results in a speedy, though limited query. In the new NW04s BI, this renders the selection screen unusable as ABAP dumps for timing out will occur first due to the large data volume searched using sequential read.
It will not be feasible to create indexes for every single query selection parameter (issues with oerformance when loading, space required etc.). Is there a reason why SAP seems have fallen back on a less effective code for this?
I have tried to change the number of selected rows to <500 in BEx settings but one must reach a responsive screen in order to get to that setting and it is not always possible or saved for the next run.
Anyone with similar experience or can provide help on this?here is a reason why the F4 help on ODS was faster in BW 3.x.
In BW 3.x the ODS did not support the read mode "Only values in
InfoProvider". So If I compare the different SQL statements I propose
to change the F4 mode in the InfoProvider specific properties to
"About master data". This is the fastest F4 mode.
As an alternative you can define indexes on your ODS to speed up F4.
So would need a non-unique index on InfoObject 0COMP_CODE in your ODS

Variable Selection Screen Issue in WAD
Hi Guru's,
I have created a Query in 3.5 and having Variables for the same as Acutal Good's Issued Date & Plant. I am able to see the variable screen with selection option(Intervals) in Query level. But I am not able to see the Variable selection option as interval in Portal (WAD). The variable is showing only as single value.
Please suggest to get the variable selection screen as interval's.
Regards,
BandiHi,
I got your point.When you open that query in Analyzer,it shows the variable screen and the variable is shown as a interval variable.But if you open the same query in Web Analyzer,the variable shown as single value variable.
This looks little weird because both Web and BEx Analyzer uses the same Query.Can you execute the query in RSRT Tcode and check how the variable shown(whether as a Single or interval variable).
And also check the variable definition.Try to create a new variable with the same settings and check the behavior.

Reports - Variable Selection, Restriction Issue
Hi Experts,
I have an object (Region) in the variable selection screen, which is displaying South, East, North, West and some more junk value.
I want to have only South, East, North and West on the Variable screen of the Analyzer.
I have right clicked the Region Char. Variable on the Filter Section and have selected only South, East, North, West.
But when I try to select the region on the Analyzer. I'm getting all the values including the junk values.
Can anyone tell me how do I have only these 4 regions nothing apart from that.
ThanksHi All,
The data I'm getting is from the Data Provider.
But I want to restrict only 2 Zones like South and North in the Variable Selection Screen.
When I try to restrict it at Filter Pane ->select infoobject ->selection variable->right click it restrict.
Both the Zones are correctly being set on the restriction but when I try to execute it in Analyzer its not displaying me only those zone but all the values.
Hope its clear. Please reply.

BI Variable authorization issue
Hello Experts,
Please help me with the below issue. I have implemented Variable authorizations as below.
1)I have marked Cost Center and Profit Center info objects as Auth relevant.
2) Created a global Variables for CC and PC with processing by authorization & user exit.
3) Created analysis authorization for the info object 0cost center and Profit Center and added value as $ ZCOST.
4) Created the include program ZSECTEST in the user exit to check the Variables.
I have created only one analysis authorization with both CC and PC fields and restricted to Variables.
Scenario 1: If the Query that was built on the Cube has only CC data authorizations are working fine by picking the values from the table. u2013 Working
Scenario 2 : I have a query that was created on MP which has cube A with CC and cube B with PC data.
(system checks if the user has access both info objects since both were auth relevant fields)
When user ran the query u2013 custom code checks the table and gets the CC and PC values to the query variable screen.
Issue: If the query has both CC and PC data for the given date it was showing results fine.
If the query has only CC data and no PC data then query is giving message saying no data available.
My requirement is even there is not PC data for that date I want to display the CC data.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks,
Kumar.Hello Sandipan,
Thanks for the quick response. Primary key has been already defined in the table. Issue is I have only one analysis authorization created with fileds CC and PC restrcited to variables VAR1 and VAR2 respectively.
When I execute the query in the variable selection screen values are coming fine as below from the custom table. (works)
Variable selection screen :
Cost Center - 1,2,3,4
Profit Center - A,S,D,F
Date - 10/2010
In the above example if the query has only CC data for that date - I get error no data available because system is fetching for the combination of CC 1,2,3,4 and PC A,S,D,F . I guess some aggregation auth are missing.
When I execute the same query with SAP_ALL and BI_ALL I get results with only CC - because PC data on this query was not available for that date.
My requirement is even if the PC data was not avaiable for that date I want to display all the CC realted data.
Thanks,

How to add customize message on the variable selection screen in the query
Hi all,
Can we add an customise message on the variable selection screen in the query? If yes please let me know how it can be achevied?
Thanks,
RaniHi Rani,
I faced a similar issue (for what I understand your request is).
My requirement for the Variable Screen was to do:
1) place a link to a ppt file
2) remove buttons "Save", "Save As...), "Delete"... the standard buttons come when running the Query or WebTempl
We were using a Web Templ for BI7.0
I struggled trying to find out how to do it. My conclusions are:
- WAD, not sure we can accomplish it using a Web Template but i did not "play" a lot with the Web_Template Properties in order to know
- XHTML, I was told in my post HTML modification was the way, but I have close to nil background in HTML and couold not find the way of accessing the Variable Entry screen
For instance, I had to remove similar buttons and change some font size from a link on the Web Template (WAD), which was pretty straight forward. In WAD the buttons come with its own icon and to increase the Font size for that link we used XHTML (<font size="2" >). But the heck of the variable screen...well, i just did not get trhough to it to modify it in any way.
Good luck,
Definetly in a Query I would say that no.

Variable screen issue in BEX !!
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.
I have modified following parameters but it did not take any effect to the variable screen problem.
VARIABLE_SCREEN, MELT_VARIABLES, VARIABLES_CLEAR, USE_PERSONALIZATION

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.

UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION when a user is executing a variable selection in WT
Hi Experts,
There is strange problem to one User, when ever she uses the Varibale selection for 0FUNCT_LOC in Portal, the systems throws the below UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION, in the Webtemplate screen.
When i Checked that is displayed in *Root Cause*, it is showing as follows.
" The initial exception that caused the request to fail was:
Termination message sent
ABEND RSBOLAP (000): Program error in class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
MSGV1: SAPMSSY1
MSGV3: UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
com.sap.ip.bi.base.application.exceptions.AbortMessageRuntimeException: Termination message sent

And other messages that were displayed are below.
ABEND: Program error in class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
ABEND: System error in program CL_RSBOLAP_VARIABLE_CHARACTERI and form No hierarchy available (see long text)
Here the problem is that, while others users have no problem with the same Webtemplate,that is there is no exception raised for Functional location for them (And also when i checked from my side in Webtemplate, there was no problem displayed at my side too )
But when We created the copy of the user id (With same roles and profiles) again it has showed the same problem again.
We also checked in the Roles and Authorizations for that user, but could find no problem.
Also the user is able to access the Function Loaction variable selection in Bex Analyzer without any problems.
But only when she uses the selection in Portal she is getting UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION.
Could anyone please help me how to trace where the problem is, and why it is happening only for that user.
And when there is no problem at Bex Analyzer side, why the exception is raised at Portal.
Thanks in advance for helping
Regards
RaghuThanks Javier,
But it could not help me to fix the issue, the problem occurs to only one user, when she selects Functional Location variable (Hierarchy Infoobject) in Portal. For me and others we do not have problem, but when i copy replica that user id with problem, and execute at my side i too see the same problem, any idea why?
Do we need to do any user specific configuration at portal side, for case of Hier Infoobject variables incase?.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

SAPGUI 640 patch 19, BEX SAP BW 3.x, , Netweaver04 - No variable selection
The above in subject line is installed. Checked the installation w/sapbexc.xla, no major issues, all components were selected during frontend install. When the BEX Browser is launched I connect to BW and I select a report a Visual Basic error "Run-time error '91' Object variable or With block variable not set" occurs. Excel is opened but the expected variable selection screen does not appear. In addition to the above the BW addon patches 8 and 9 are installed and a couple of entries made into the PC registry per note 542961. SAPGUI works well for everything else as far as I can tell. What have I missed to make this work? prkctybum
Lou,
Please help me with this issue. We have the same similar issue you had. We can do the Global Settings going to the individual users but we are not able to push the resolution to every machine in the company, please see the note below. If you could send the resolution showing how you were able to push the code to every machine. You can mail me to [email protected].
Ive attempted to use .NET 2s storeadm /LIST command to pull the BEXAddin info from the IsolatedStorage Assembly where it keeps a record of the bexaddin.dll information. However the record it keeps is of no help. The file path:
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Application Data\IsolatedStorage\x1smiiqw.qws\p1vq0mkf.2u2\Url.fc1l2xts4acc5iv3nxl2uoy0btkfeen5\AssemFiles\BExAddin.xml
is not kept here, or anywhere else that I can find. Im going to have to do this the hard way and build something to check if IsolatedStorage exists, if so, query the folder structure, and check to see if the BEXADDIN.XML has been built, if it has, rewrite the legacy option. If it doesnt exist, thats the BIG issue, well have to initiate Excel to run the BExAnalyzer that way it generates the IsolatedStorage and then repeat the above. The problem is that running Excel without the customer realizing that Im running it is kinda tricky, whats worse is that this would have to run for every user on a machine, and thats impossible to do without everyones password, so essentially, this would only work for the logged on user, or what USD perceives as the logged on user, and since USD runs under the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account thats what it will see as the current user. So, long story short, I dont think I can automate a fix for this.
So, while I could query every existing users folder structure within IsolateStorage, I cannot guarantee that theyve run BEX once to generate the folder structure for themselves in order for me to patch it. We could force BEX open after pushing SAP, but again, it would open for the SYSTEM account, not a real user. The only way to automate is to get the customer involved and have them run BEX one time, but how would we know to then push the fix

Hi everyone,
I have an issue with Input Parameters in BEx Variable Screen. For Example, I have included Customer Name in the Variable Screen. Then , the user says, he does not remember the complete customer name. There will be thousands of names. Instead he remembers only a few Initial Characters. For example, if the customer Name is ZSAMSUNG. He only remembers ZS out of the whole name.
In that case, he wants to enter ZS* in the Variable Selection Screen for Customer Name. But this is not working in BEx. It says invalid Parameters. I have created a Characteristic variable with Manual Entry.
Currently, I am working on BI7.0, Support Package 11.
Please provide your valuable inputs.
1) Is it possible create a Customer Exit Variable for the same with some logic.
Regards,
SamiirHi Samir
Sry, but I think that this functionallity is allredy usable in Bex.
When the variable-screen appears, the customer has to press F4 for help.
Another screen pos up.
-> in that screen, in the FIRST ROW, the customer can seach by therms:
in the first column: KEYS
secound column: Text
other columns: attributes if available
he also has the possibility to search with *
like ZS* for ZSAMSUNG
try out, it works

This is my first post so hi to everyone.
In my program I need to keep the value in some variables when it leaves that class. For example I am running a menu class which gives options. When an option is selected I go to that class and run it. However the values put in the variable need to be stored and kept so that they can be added to in other classes from the menu.
To do this I have done:
private static String wordArray[];
private static int arrayLength;
which allows me to keep the values and add to them.
My question is will this be a privacy issue? Or are they any other issues that will make my program a security risk from doing this?
If so does anyone have any suggestions about others ways to do this? Thanks alot.
P.S: The values only need to be kept for that run of the program. Not stored after the program is quit.For offsets instead of creating 12 different selection you should give range.
e.g. variable-12 to variable
Restrict -> value ranges -> between
Then select same variable in both from and to input boxes.
Once you transfer it to right and select the offset, it will ask offset two times.
One for - from variable
next for - to variable
Select -12 and 0 respectively.
It should give you prior 12 period offset.
It will increment/decrement according to values of master data. So if you have master data fro 13/2008 then only it will go to that period, otherwise 01/2009 will be selected.

Key and text replaced with "???" in variable selection after SPS Upgrade
Hello community
I have a problem regarding the variable screen.
We recently upgraded to SAPKW70021 and SP19 in Java. After this a problem appeared in web reporting and variable selection. When users are prompted to enter a value for fiscal year for example, the input help displays "???" instead of years. When you choose an "???" randomly from the list and add to your selection, the year is displayed correctly. The same issue is present with company code selection and other user input variables as well, the selection list is filled with "???" for both key and text.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
best regards
Antti LyytikäinenHi,
Note 1368055 describes this issue. You need to implement the mentioned java patch for the BI components and set the parameter mentioned in the note to solve this issue.

Need to skip the variable selection screen when using dropdown
Hello Friends,
I have created a web template having a dropdown, a table and a text element. Basically I am trying to follow the guide "How to Use a Dropdown Box to Set Variable Values". It shows how to select values for a variable using dropdown.
NOTE: The guide can be found here:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2642ab90-0201-0010-9193-d59de66cbab4
What is happening is when I select a value for the variable in the dropdown, the correct url is getting formed but instead of displaying the report using the selected value, the variable selection screen appears. Given below is the url that gets formed:
http://abcdev.wdf.sap-ag.de:8000/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=E&PAGENO=1&REQUEST_NO=3&CMD=PROCESS_VARIABLES&SUBCMD=VAR_SUBMIT&VAR_NAME_1=TSTPEROD&VAR_VALUE_EXT_1=04.2007
Please assist me to get rid of the variable selection screen. Thanks!
Regards,
Prem.Hello Ray,
Thanks for your reply. This has partially resovled the issue. I have awarded you points for that. Now I am able to skip the variable screen.
However, the query results are not getting refreshed. I wanted to restirct the values based on the value given in the variable selection (In my case the dropdown box). Somehow I am not able to link the dropdown with the variable or the "SAPBWOpenURL(url);" function is having some issues.
Please assist. Thanks!
Regards,
Prem.
