Variable Selections in BEx Query Variants

I am trying to save a variant for a BEx query that uses a floating date range. I want the date range to move with the calendar. I r/3 this is done with the variable selection. In BW 3.5, I don't see how this is possible. I only see options for TVARVC which are user exit selections. Can someone point me in the right direction.
Regards,
Kevin B

Hi Kevin
Your requirment is that date range should move with calendar (ex. In first week , the date range should be from 1 to 7 of the current month & in second week the date range should be from 1 to 15 of current month) ...if it is like this then you can go ahead with - create a variable and do the coding with sydatum (system date ) and embed the required logic. But if your requirement is completely random then you can not use this.
Hope this helps

How to put variable selection and the query result the same screen

Dear all,
how can I put the variable selection and the query result in the same screen? Please advise. Thanks.
Jin Ming

Not sure if you are saying you want the prompts on the same page as the results... however in 7.0 with BEx Analyzer, you can insert a text object from the design toolbar and assign it to the variable.... this way, lets say you run query for period 6, then the text object will display "6" on the same area where the query results are.

How can i work with variables of the BEx-Query in WAD ???

Hi Experts !
In my Web Template i want to work with the value of a BEx-Variable like this :
</td>
<td class="SAPBEXTbsTab" id="head_TAB4"><A href="javascript:if (V_TEST != '1') {goto_tab('TAB4')}">Summenblatt 3</A>
</td>
V_TEST is a variable in my BEx-Query. Does someone know how i can get the value from this variable ???
Thx Andreas

to get the query variable value into javascript variable you can do like below
<script>
var period_val = '<object>
         <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
         <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
         <param name="NAME" value="TEXTELEMENTS_PERIOD"/>
         <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_TEXT_ELEMENTS"/>
         <param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DP"/>
         <param name="GENERATE_CAPTION" value=""/>
         <param name="ELEMENT_TYPE_1" value="VARIABLE"/>
         <param name="ELEMENT_NAME_1" value="0P_FPER"/>
         <param name="ONLY_VALUES" value="X"/>
         ITEM:            TEXTELEMENTS_PERIOD
</object>';

Webi 4.1 SSO - Error at the selection of BEX query

The SSO works correctly on Analysis for OLAP.
The Authentication used is the SAP authentication.
Thanks.
Andrea

That's what we're doing in our 4.1 instance as well.
After a lot of troubleshooting, it looks like our problem is related to the SSO set up itself. We set the OLAP Connection to Pre-defined, entered the SAP credentials of one of our developers, then saved the connection. We were able to refresh existing reports and create new reports without any issues. We changed the OLAP connection back to SSO and received the same error message as in OP when we tried to select a BEx query.
I'm going to go through the entire SSO set up again. There was a BW hotfix applied throughout our environments, thinking it might have messed something up.

Tables where BEx query variants are saved (BI 7.0)

Hi Experts,
I'm looking for the BI tables where BEx 7.0 saves query variants, but I don't find nothing.
In BW 3.5 there were Table RSRVARIANT, but in BI 7.0?
Could someone help me?
Thanks in advanced
Fede

Hi Sunmit,
thanks, I found my query variants RSRPARAMETRIZA.
In RSRPARAMETRIZA there aren't information about single variable who make the variant!
In RSRVARIANT I find only variants I have created with Business explorer 3.5.
All variants of queries I have created with BEx 7 aren't in RSRVARIANT,
Should I have them in RSRVARIANT?!
or There is another table for those information about variant query of BEx 7.0...
bye

Constant Selection in BEx Query Designer on BI7

Hi guys
According to this blog <a href="/people/prakash.darji/blog/2006/09/19/the-hidden-secret-of-constant-selection Selection</a>, we can create constant selection on both Characteristics and Key figures. I understand how to do it with restricted key figures.
Can anyone give me a step by step guide on how to create constant selection for a Characteristic in BEx Query Designer on BI7. I can't find options for 'constant selection'
Or is this the same thing when you include or exclude values?

jimi ogun

Thanks Krishna
I am actually using a Multiprovider for my queries but business requirements mean I need to create joins.
I am trying to avoid Infosets and I believe another way is to use the Constant Selection feature in Query Designer.
Going back to my previous posting, I know how this is done with a restricted KF but I don't know how when it comes to characteristics.
Can anyone help?

Bex Query variants not working

Hello Experts,
I have a unique problem with one of my queries, the query variants which are created before Nov 1 are not fetching any vaules instead it gives a message MAKE ENTRY IN ALL THE FIELDS......
the variants which are created in Nov are working fine.....we have not done any upgrade....
does anyone faced this kind of problem? what needs to done to get back the variant values in the selection screen.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Regards

Was there a change to an InfoObject that is in the InfoProvider that is also one of the query input options?
e.g. IO ZHARA used to be defeined as a Char with a length of 4, but was changed after Nov 1 to Char, length of 8.
If you change an IO like this that is in the variant, that will render the variant unusable.
There is a program that checks for variants that have been broken like this, and another that you enter the query's technical name and it repairs the variant.
Try a search on SDN for something like "query variant program". I'll post the program names after I get back in the office tomorrow.

Bex Query Variants Information

Hello,
I have 15 variants created for a Bex Query - QUERY1, I would like to know which SAP Tables does this variants get stored. Out of these 15 variants, I would also like to know among these which are Global Vs Personal variants.
Could you please share your inputs.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
John

Thanks Again for the quick reply.
I have checked the Query in table RSRPARAMETRIZA , I have only found 8 variants in this table.
But when I opened the same query in the Bex Analyzer, I see 15 variants. And these are not my variants to think that the additional variants are my personal varaints.
Can I know why I will be seeing only less varainats in this table RSRPARAMETRIZA, when it have more variants? Is this the only table which the Bex Query to Variants relationship.
Please let me know, if we have any other additional tables?
Appreciate your help .

BEX Query variant - how to make it Global ?

We have a problem that we did not have in 3.x. In NW04s, when some one saves a query variant, it can be seen/accessed only by that person. We have a need to make it global so that other users in the division can use the variant to run the query. Does anybody know to make this work?
I looked at the table RSRPARAMETRIZA and the field PERSONAL is always set to 'X' for variants created in BEX (using new BEX tool). We tried to blank this out (for testing) to see if the variant becomes global. But it did not help, in fact after this change whenever I choose this variant it kicks me out and I have to login again.
Any input/workaround is appreciated.
Regards
-Bala

As of NetWeaver 2004s variants (created in the BI70 runtime) are stored as an XML string inside of the table RSRPARAMETRIZA. In BW3.5 and before they were stored along with ABAP variants within the table VARI.

Custom Hierarchy sub selection from BEx Query to Webi

Hi All,
The client has requested that from a hierarchy only certain accounts / account nodes be brought into the Webi report.
I have made a Account Number Filter in the BEx query containing the nodes that the client has requested. In order to get a hierarchical view, I activated the hierarchy display through BEx and selected the hierarchy the the selection of the nodes came from.
I ran the report through Analyzer and all works - the only nodes that show are the nodes that were filtered on through query designer and all lower nodes below it. It displays as a hierarchy properly.
When running in Webi, I bring in the hierarchy object for Account number and the report crashes giving me the general Webi error. (I have added a screenshot).
In conclusion, what I am trying to do is take a sub selection of certain account nodes from a hierarchy and display those nodes with all lower levels below in a hierarchy. It works in BEx, not in Webi.
If this won't work in Webi, any idea how to build this in BEx so it will work in Webi?

I haven't tried this myself yet - but did you register your Google API key? Please see Google Maps in SDK Extension

BICS - Passing variables to a BEx Query

Hi Experts,
We are currently developing dasboards in Dashboard Design (XCelsius) using BICS. Since we want to leverage the 'create once, reuse many times' principle, we would like to populate our (data intensive) dashboard using 8 connections that fill out different values in one and the same BEx Query. The results (8 crosstabs) will be put in our embedded sheet on 4 different tabs.
All data has to be refreshed before components are loaded (so this option is set for all connections).
Furthermore, we set the 8 connections with the following parameters:
[definiton tab].[input values].[variables].[BEx variable] > link to a cell containing tech name of input value
[definition tab].[input values].[filters].[key figures] > link to a cell containing the tech name of the key figure we want to display in the crosstabs.
Now, we are facing 2 problems:
1. The variables are not automatically passed to the BEx query (we see a BEx web variable input screen on launch)
2. The key figures are not filtered (we did set the tech key i.e. 8KPM8AAGH55L3ONGZC0Y27FBG)
Does anyone have similar experiences, using BICS and (ideally) found a solution yet? I'd like to avoid creating 8 different BEx queries to solve this. Thank you in advance!
KR, Bart Santing

Hi,
You have to map the excel cell to the exact keyfigure or vriable.
For example.
I have two filters in my BEx Query. Calendar Year & Country
For mapping these filters expand the ==>Filters in Data Manager of xCelsius. Then you can see Calendar Year and Country. Map Calendar Year to an excel cell as well as map the country to another excel cell.
Do this same for variable also.
Thanks,
Ajish George

Restrict variable values based on another variable in the bex query...

I am struggling to restrict the variable values from other varaible in the selection criteria. I have a variable which restricts he organisation(0ORGUNIT) and another to restrict employees.
When the user selects any organisation unit form the hierarchy, I want only those employees related to that organsation in the varaible selection options.
Is there any way I can make a variable values dependant on the another variable value in variable selection screen?
Thanks,
Your help in this matter will be much appreciated.
Edited by: Kthapa on Nov 25, 2010 11:08 PM

Hi Kthapa,
Did u try using cmod?
i_step = 1? Used to provide default values for the selection screen variables and
i_step = 2 for filling up the variables after selection screen.
Try using based on ur requirement.
Hope this helps. Revert back for any queries.

Passing variables to a BEx query dynamically

Hi All,
We have a requirement to pass values for variables dynamically to a Bex 7x query because we do not want to prompt any variable screen to the user. I tried few steps as suggested in SAPBEXsetVariables range but still have some questions unanswered. So request your thoughts on the same.
Below procedure has been followed.
1. Open Bex Analyzer
2. Navigate to Bex Analyzer (menu) -> Design Toolbar -> Insert Button. This will switch on the Design Mode.
3. Click on the button, select "Workbook-Specific Command" and click on next (Data provider need not be worried about at this point as it can be changed later also).
4. Select "Process Variables" and click on Finish.
5. One more window with an heading "Properties of Button" will be shown with fields like "Name of Button", "Range", "Button Text", "Command Range" and few other.
6. On the right side of this window, list of Static Parameters can be created.
7. As an example, i created below parameters
CMD                         0          PROCESS_VARIABLES
DATA_PROVIDER      0          DP_1
and created a range having below details and provided this range in "Command Range" field (in button properties)
VAR_NAME                     0         #NAME1#
VAR_VALUE_EXT            0          #VALUE#
VAR_NAME_1                 0          #NAME2#
VAR_VALUE_EXT_1         0          #VALUE2#
8. This DID NOT WORK for me. Actually nothing was happening when the button was pressed.
After some investigation, i figured out that i need to have one command like below
CMD
          1
SHOW_VARIABLE_SCREEN
Without this neither the variable screen was shown nor it read the parameter values from the excel range provided.
Once this was done, the input screen was shown and with the values that i provided in my excel range.
Here are my questions. Pls provide your valuable inputs.
1. Why am i forced to have a command for "SHOW_VARIABLE_SCREEN"? Is this mandatory? problem with this is that user will always be shown a input screen which we don't want (in fact the very reason for this exercise is not to show the parameter screen but to supply values to it from the back end). Is there some setting that i need to do to get rid of this?
2. The setup can read values for only 2 parameters. i mean when there is an additional variable, the program is not reading the 3rd parameter values (of course i updated the "command range").
VAR_NAME                     0         #NAME1#
VAR_VALUE_EXT            0          #VALUE#
VAR_NAME_1                 0          #NAME2#
VAR_VALUE_EXT_1         0          #VALUE2#
VAR_NAME_2                 0          #NAME3#
VAR_VALUE_EXT_2         0          #VALUE3#
Thank you. Looking for a sooner response.

Hi All,
I figured out the mistake that i have done. Looks like the order of the commands is very important.
In my case, i had something like below
CMD                         0          PROCESS_VARIABLES
DATA_PROVIDER      0          DP_1
SUBCMD                   0          VAR_SUBMIT
I should not have the PROCESS_VARIABLES as my first command. Instead should have DP_1 or the SUBCMD as first argument. So below order worked for me.
DATA_PROVIDER      0          DP_1
SUBCMD                   0          VAR_SUBMIT
CMD                         0          PROCESS_VARIABLES
So, i don't need to have "SHOW_VARIABLE_SCREEN" command as i don't want to show the screen.
But my second question is still unanswered. Can you through some light on it?
2. The setup can read values for only 2 parameters. i mean when there is an additional variable, the program is not reading the 3rd parameter values (of course i updated the "command range").
VAR_NAME                     0         #NAME1#
VAR_VALUE_EXT            0          #VALUE#
VAR_NAME_1                 0          #NAME2#
VAR_VALUE_EXT_1         0          #VALUE2#
VAR_NAME_2                 0          #NAME3#
VAR_VALUE_EXT_2         0          #VALUE3#

Adding description in variable screen of Bex query

Hi All,
I have restricted one variable ( let us say abc)
these variable have value P, A.
when user select this value in the variable screen (let us say 'P') then the description field also shows 'P' .
I want user to select the value as 'P' but in description field it should come as "Pending' .
Please suggest how to do that
regards

1. If u want the description in the variable screen, the variable should be created on MD in which the text should maintain on this.
2. In the Multiprovider, go to that infoobject -> Provider Specific properties -> make this as key and text.
If you dont get the description, finally go to that infoobject, in Business explorer tab -> general settings - give key and text for Display.
hope this would help u.

Anding of the Input Variables in a BEx Query

Hello,
I have following scenario: If the report is executed by user1, then one set of shipto's should be visible (also if that user enters a valid shipto, then only that should be visible) AND if the report is executed by user2, then any shipto's should be visible.
If I take two input variables for Shipto, one of them I give to user for input and the other I populate in the exits (I_Step = 1) by checking the user type and populate the 2nd input variable accordindgly then the list of shipto's for that user is given.
The PROBLEM occurs when the user also enters a Shipto, then the Output shows: List of Shipto's derived thru the exit plus the ones that user has entered, WHEREAS it should be that if the user has entered a Shipto then only that should be visible, i.e. it should be an 'AND' operation not 'OR' between two variables.
I hope this can be achieved by some way. If you have an idea about the same, it will be of Great Help.
Many thanks for your help.
Best Regards,
Sumita

Hi Sumita,
I think concept Valueset can be used here.
You define your values of "shipto" for user in a table and than accordingly you can use this in BEx.
I will see if I can find some more solutions.
Hope this helps.
