Variable values in Variant

Hi Gurus,
I want to create one variant for transaction 'FPB3' so that i can pass different 'Identification' and 'filename' each time under the same variant to a background job.
Is there any possible way to pass the variable values of fields in an variant of FPB3 transaction.
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks 'n Regards,
Ashwani

Ashwani,
You can create an entry TVARV table with that variant When u create a variant variable(in the tcode STVARV) of type select option and chose different selections(Include single values, Include range, exclude single values, exclude range) through multiple selections button, then a separate entry will be created in the database table TVARVC(with a different NUMB value) for each selection made in multiple selections dialog box .You can access this table in your program while executing the in background.
Hope this helps

Date range as variable values in report selection

On a report selection screen, how can we save range values as variant?
For example, S_ALR_87012341, I want to save the values of from- and to- dates for posting date using dynamic date calculation as selection parameter.
From date: current date u2013 365 days
To date: current date
I can only put one value at a time but not both. Any value I input to the Name of Variable field, it is populated as a from-date value
How can we put both names of variable for the from- and to- dates to the variant attributes?

Hi,
For the example you gave, choose Variable 'Current date - xxx,current date + yyy' , enter 365 and 0 for xxx and yyy and save the variant. When you call up that variant, you will see both 'From' and 'to' are populated.

How to change variable values dynamicly in broadcasting

Dear Friends i am scheduling workbooks using broadcasting feature.
i want to know how can i change the variable values of report in broadcasting dynamically.
becuase i dont want to schedule report again and again after changing the variable values.
Regards
Malik

i did the same but its not working.
i create one variant for the query ABC using RSRT now if i look into table RSRVARIANT we can see that variant
entry in this table. Now i create variant by bex on this query with the same name.
now i schedule it using broadcasting but its not takeing the values of RSRVARIANT table.
Its taking the value of variant which i save in bex.
By default variant which is save in bex not appear in RSRVARIANT table.
But i f you make a variant in RSRT you can see those entries in Table RSRVARIANT.
But RSRT variant is not showing in Broadcast scheduling. Only Bex variant are showing.
Where should create the variant in Workbook, in Bex web analyzer, or in RSRT.
Regards
Malik

Company code and Ship-To Party: variable values should be dynamic

Hi,
We have queries where we have Company code & Ship-To Party as Variable parameters.
While executing the report the user has to give the Variable values for both company code and ship to party.
But when they give the company code.....in the next parameter ship to party, it has to offer values which belongs to that company code only. But here it is offering all values form ship to party., where user don't want to see the value from other company code as they have lot of values there which is causing inconvenience to the user.
Kindly suggest me how to restrict the values at variable level.
Thanks & Regards,
Anand

Hi,
You can do that using BADI BW_BADI_F4 .
You can use this BAdI to restrict input help for entry variables in the BI variable screen.
Create a separate implementation for each required InfoObject.
The BAdI is designed for multiple use.
Restricting input help without using hierarchies
To restrict input help for flat object lists without using hierarchies, use method Get_Restriction_Flat.
Method GET_RESTRICTION_FLAT
I_VNAM Variable
I_IOBJNM InfoObject
I_T_VAR_RANGE Table of entries on the variable screen
I_T_COMPID Table of participating queries
C_T_RANGE Range table with other restrictions
C_INFOPROV InfoProvider
C_F4_Mode F4 mode
Entry parameters I_VNAM and I_IOBJNM return the names of the variables and the InfoObject that F4 helpwill be affected for. I_T_VAR_RANGE returns additional values from the variable screen entered beforethe call. These are returned in a range table that does not, however, return any information about variables that cannot be entered. I_T_COMPID is a list of participating BI queries.
If there is a single InfoProvider, entry and return parameter C_INFOPROV contains the InfoProvider forthe participating queries, and can be overwritten in the implementation. Especially when you have justone MultiProvider, this allows you to restrict the input help to one of the physical InfoProviders ifyou also set the F4 mode to u201CDu201D (input help from dimension tables). The mode can onlybe set to u201CDu201D in conjunction with physical InfoProviders, as dimension values are otherwisenot available. If you reference to a VirtualProvider that is based on a data transfer process, you always need to set mode u201CMu201D (input help from master data)
Return table C_T_RANGE is a range table of additional restrictions that can be used in the implementation.These restrictions are identical to restrictions that the system makes in the standard setting. It is therefore not possible to add to the list.
The following restrictions are permitted in C_T_RANGE:
u2022Restrictions for InfoObject I_IOBJNM itself (for example using a specified range)
u2022Restrictions to groups of InfoObjects (for example restriction of the fiscal year variant for fiscal years)
u2022Restrictions by the InfoObjectu2019s navigation attributes.
For technical reasons, pure display attributes cannot be used.
You can also make a restriction to physical InfoProviders. In this case, the input help is restrictedto the specified physical InfoProviders. Field IOBJNM in table C_T_RANGE then has to be set to 0INFOPROV.In the case of a MultiProvider using physical InfoProviders with mode u201CDu201D (input help from dimension tables), the input help is built from all participating physical InfoProviders.
Entry and return parameter C_F4_MODE describes the retrieval method for the F4 help:
u2022In mode u201CMu201D, the input help is built from the master data.
u2022In mode u201CDu201D, the input help is built from the dimension tables of physical InfoProviders.
The choice of method is therefore always dependent on the choice of InfoProvider.
Restricting input help using hierarchies
To restrict input help for flat object lists using hierarchies, use method Get_Restriction_Node.
Method GET_RESTRICTION_NODE
I_VNAM Variable
I_IOBJNM InfoObject
I_T_VAR_RANGAE Table of entries on the variable screen
I_T_COMPID Table of participating queries
C_T_HIERARCHY Table of possible hierarchies
C_T_NODE Table with node restrictions
C_INFOPROV InfoProvider
C_F4_Mode F4 mode
On the whole, this method is the same as method GET_RESTRICTION_FLAT. Instead of a C_T_RANGE, the additional node restrictions can be submitted using table C_T_NODE.
C_T_HIERARCHY contains the hierarchies that can be used based on the existing query restrictions. Ifthis table contains multiple entries, the system uses the first hierarchy in the standard setting. In a BAdI implementation, specific entries can be removed in order to select the required hierarchy.
Table C_T_NODE can be filled with individual nodes in order to restrict the hierarchy to the corresponding subtrees.
All other parameters are the same for Get_Restriction_Node as described above for method Get_Restriction_Flat.

Get variable values from a stored procedure

I am using SQL 2008R2 and I want to replace a view inside a stored procedure with a new stored procedure to return multiple variable values. Currently I am using the code below to get values for 4 different variables. I would rather get the 4 variables
from a stored procedure (which returns all of these 4 values and more) but not sure how to do so. Below is the code for getting the 4 variable values in my current sp.
DECLARE @TotalCarb real;
DECLARE @TotalPro real;
DECLARE @TotalFat real;
DECLARE @TotalLiquid real;
SELECT @TotalCarb = ISNULL(TotCarb,0),
@TotalPro = ISNULL(TotPro,0),
@TotalFat = ISNULL(TotFat,0),
@TotalLiquid = ISNULL(TotLiq,0)
FROM dbo.vw_ActualFoodTotals
WHERE (MealID = @MealID);

You can replace the view with inline table valued user-defined function:

To pass new session variable value to stored proc before running a report.

Hi,
Below is summary of the report requirement -
Database level design
1. Created a view and a global temporary table (GTT)
2. Created an Oracle package procedure to accept from and to business dates on basis of which it will fetch, process and populate the GTT.
Repository level design
1. Created a business model containing the view and the GTT (mentioned above)
2. Created two SESSION variables "from_dt" and "to_dt" to be initialized by their respective init blocks. Each of the variable is initialized with a DATE column value (of type DATETIME) from a database lookup table. I have also set the option "Enable that variable to be set by any user" for both variables.
Query for these variables :
from_dt = select from_date from <table>
to_dt = select add_months(from_date,12) from <table>
Presentation level design
1. Using a text box, i display the default/initialized values of these variables like this -
Current business date:@{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.from_dt']} Future business dt:@{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.to_dt']}
Dates get displayed in YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00 format
The text msg displays these default dates and allows the user to specift different date range for which i create prompts as shown below.
2. Using any random two columns of date type from the business model, i create two date dashboard prompts with labels "From Dt" and "To Dt".
i select Calender Controls for both; setting Default To = Report Defaults.
The Set Variable is set to Presentation variables - such that pv_from_dt maps to "From Dt" and pv_to_dt maps to "To Dt".
3. i create the report using the business model created above. In the report "Advanced Tab" => "Prefix" field i specify the following -
SET VARIABLE from_dt='@{pv_from_dt}',to_dt='@{pv_to_dt}';
Note : The logic here is to display the default dates and allow user to specify different date values which will be stored in presentation variables.
If the user does specify different "from dt" and "to dt" values, then using the presentation variables, i want to "write" back these new values to the corresponding session variables mentioned above.
If the user does not specify different date range, then the default/initialized dates must be considered.
I also display the default and new date values in the report title.
Back to Repository level design
To execute the stored procedure that will load the GTT before running the report I need to pass two date parameters to the stored procedure on basis of which it will fetch data, process and populate the GTT.
In the Connection Pool --> Connection Script Tab --> Execute before query, I wrote the below query using the repository variables FROM_DT and TO_DT to execute the procedure -
DECLARE
v_from_dt date;
v_to_dt date;
BEGIN
v_from_dt := VALUEOF(From_Dt);
v_to_dt := VALUEOF(To_Dt);
package_name1.package_body(v_from_dt,v_to_dt);
END;
Now when i try to run the report i get the following error :
[nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 23006] The session variable, NQ_SESSION.to_dt, has no value definition. (HY000)..
Need help on this.
Is it possible to "write back" a new value to a session variable ?
Any other alternatives.
Thanks
Nusrat

Sandeep, I found a several topics where users describe saving values in DB through stored procedure or function. For example, [How to store OBIEE presentation level variable values in DB |http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=892006] I tried it and get an error
*10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 14551, message: ORA-14551: cannot perform a DML operation inside a query ORA-06512*
It's not a BI error. This error are generated by Oracle DB. If I write next:
SELECT MyPLSQLFunction(p1,p2) FROM DUAL
I get the same error.
Oracle doesn't allow DML operations in SELECT.
Did you relalize this feature yourself? Where did I mistake?

Assigning a Jython variable value to an ODI variable

I have to implement database cursor functionality in ODI.
For storing the returned values from database, I am using a Jython list.
The next functionality that I have to implement is as follows:
(i) For each value in the Jython list, I have to pass that value as a variable to an interface and then execute the interface
(ii) Return back to the Jython list to get the next value in it
(iii) Execute the interface for the new value from Jython list
(iv) Have to execute the interface for as many values as in the list and stop when list is over.

Hi,
Thanks for your replies.
I tried your method of using source as a query in procedure and using ODI startScen in the Target of the same procedure. But the scenario runs only once, and then stops even though the Source query returns 4 rows.
Do we have to write Source and Target in separate steps of the procedure?
Does ODI store the many records returned into some internal variables?
I need to implement a cursor functionality so what is the best approach?
Can i pass array variable value to some odi variables and do a loop?
I used a workaround....it works but dont know if that's a good way of doing things:
I retrieved all the different values that I need in a string by appending the values(this was done using Java loop).
In my next step in the procedure I call a scenario(package which has some variables and my interface), which passes this long variable from Java as <@...@>
Then in the package I use an iteration variable which is used to find out the SubString position so that I can extract the correct string to use for my Interface in the next step of the Package.
It is working fine as of now.....but things could be made simpler if I could call the scenario in the Java loop, then I wouldn't need the iteration variable etc.

Getting JS variable value in ABAP variable

hi experts,
I am fairly new to ABAP programming so please bear with me. To my issue.
I am creating a BSP which will read from the tax number table in CRM into an itab.
Next it loops into an wa and then passes each tax number through a javascript/JQuery API to validate the number.
The JSON response then comes back and is stored in a JS variable.
I am unclear how to get this into an ABAP variable so I can handle as needed. I have read some posts but they seem to be created for those ABAP experts which I am not there yet.
Any help is most appreciated.
thank you kindly!
Chris

Thanks for the reply Kiran.
I am still stuck where I try to create the hidden field, assign the JS variable value to it and then retrieve on server side using ABAP.
I read some places where it mentions accessing in the controller but this is not specific enough for me to know what to do. Here is a snippet of my JS/html code.
<form id="api">
<div><input type="hidden" name="json" id="json" value="" /></div>
var json = data;
document.getElementById("json").value = json;
document.api.submit();
</form>
I am using a Jquery api to get a boolean value and storing it in the json variable. then I want to pass that value to an ABAP variable. I did maintain a page attribute of json type STRING as well. I also tried maintaining a controller class attribute of the same. I did not redefine any controller class methods.
Your help is most appreciated.
thx

Are you having variant problems after an upgrade? If so, you can run:
RSVARDOC Rescue obsolete variants
or

Web Report not printing the fiscal year period variable value

Hi,
In web report where in one text element, we enabled the fiscal year period variable value to display
in the report result.
If we run the report then this fiscal year period is displaying in the general information.
We have print button (Java Code), where user can take a printout of the same report.
In the printout this Fiscal year period is NOT PRINTING, other variables like rollup time, technical name of report etc are printing perfectly.
It is required to print the fiscal period also in the print out of the report.
Any help to come out of this.....
Thanks

Open a crystal report from WAD with passing the variables values

Hi,
I need to know is there any way to link SAP WAD to crystal reports (open a crystal report from WAD)and pass the values of the variables which are entered in the Web App. (e.g. Customer id,year) should be passed to the Crystal Report.
Maybe we need to pass parameter by WAD URL but this is just my assumption and have no idea how to do this with passing variable values.
right now I know the method of how Bex queries which are used as data source for crystal reports but in my current scenario we have the structure like this that bex queries link with WAD and then WAD is linked with crystal reports.
No doubt that Crystal report is target option in RRI but there the source is Bex Query only but in current scenario we are looking WAD (web template) as a source to crystal report or crystal report called in WAD.
Please suggest something on same.
Thanks
Take care

SEM BPS locking even after user switches to a new variable value

Hi,
This is locking related question & appreciate any kind of suggestion.
Users are locking previously planned variable value even after changing to a new value which is causing another user with a locking issue.
I've a variable GROUP defined at planning level & included in the planning folder.
let's say USER1 is planning for GROUP1 & saved the data after planning.
same user has changed the variable to GROUP2 & is planning now without leaving UPSPL session.
at this point, when USER2 tries to plan for GROUP1 & is faced with a message "USER1 is currently processing the data".
currently, USER1 is planning for GROUP2 right? so, why it's still giving locking message (locking GROUP1).
I even followed SAP note 635244 & created a DB table & included GROUP characteristic in to the table but of not much help.
even after this, I still see that USER1 is locking both GROUP1 & GROUP2 in report UPC_ENQUEUE_READ.
Appreciate if any one can share your ideas to deal this kind of issue.

Hi Hari,
You indicated in your 1st post, that User 1 is able to access both Group 1 and Group 2. I am assuming in your configuration, multiple users share the same values in the Group variable and they are making selections on execution of your planning application.
If this is the case, User 1 switching to Group 2 using, e.g., a drop-down menu does not remove the lock on Group 1. Hence User 2 will get the lock message.
You defining a table in DDIC only specifies Group as a lock relevant characteristic. It will not prevent locking in this fashion.
The probable options could be:
1. Consider dividing Groups amongst users, and use user-specific values for your variable;
2. Consider additional characteristic that will separate data sets.
The central question I would ask about this planning process, is why would different users be editing the same group at the same time? Is there a way to differentiate their planning needs? That might help in your modeling.
Hope this helps.

Passing variable values to the navigation block

Hi WAD Experts,
I have a requirement regarding passing variable values to the navigation block. User requirement is first give the selections on the selection screen and then after executign output should display in browser. In the output page we have a navigation block. So when user gives selections those selections should also populate in the navigation block. Your help will be appreciated.
Prasad.

Hi,
if your variable is 'Changeable at Query Navigation' the chosen values will appear in the Navigationblock.
Variables which are 'Not Changeable at Query Navigation'
will not appear.
You can set this Property when you create a Variable.
