Variable values not passing with Web Application Designer

We are on SP 11
I have defined variables in the planning modeler (no personalization) that should be used when executing a copy function.  The idea is to have ready input capability.  For example, the variable VERSION is defined - when the planning function is executed, the user should have the ability to select a version value.   I have defined TWO button groups to enable the user this feature, however the values will not override the default variable value defined in the planning modeler
BUTTON GROUP #1 - this is a copy function button with Display Varable Screen option ON.  When I press the button, the variable entry WEB Page Dialog pops up (with the default value).  If I input a differenct value, we get the error the the value characteristic is not included in the selection.  If we use the drop down available on the dialog box to select available values, we get what's on the Web Template (it seems the drop down option is not working)
BUTTON GROUP #2. - This is a VARIABLE BUTTON using the Open Variable Dialog command (the expectation was to override the default value) When we use the drop down option on the Web Page Dialog, we have the ability to select the valuse available, however the value does not override the default value defined on the planning modeler.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Andrew Ramirez

  • Print a Web Template with Web Application Designer 3.X

    Hello
    I would know how I can print a web template made with Web Application Designer 3.X and that it is in the Intranet.
    Actually I'm printing that page with the option of the browser (Internet Explorer) but it print only I see, no print all the chart and the rest of the columns.
    How can I print all the data that compose  the web template?
    Thank you.

    Hello Sharath,
                         First check whether you have change authorizations for WAD, check you user name is added in the role for web templates and also check the authorizations.
    then in the web template in the menu bar go to view option ,select web items and properties , so that you can find them in the left hand side, then replace the chart item with the table and assign the query to the table.
    hope it is clear,
    assign points if useful.

  • Presentation Variable Value not passing when used in Column Formula.

    Hello Gurus:
    Please help me with my requirement.
    We are trying to show a data backout in report, for example.
    For a Product Group Code of 2435 which belongs to Report Line C059 has a Sales Amount of $4,266.90 and in report we want the same Sales Amount of $4,266.90 to be shown as -$4,266.90 (Negative) under a Report Line C080.
    So in a report there should be same Sales Dollars as Positive for C059 (from Source) and Negative Sales Amount for C080 (Condition to be applied in Report).
    Solution I Tried
    I tried to create a Presentation Variable (SQL- Which would fetch me Sales Dollars for Product Group Code 2453) which returns with $4266.90 and then applied it in Answers in Logic (Case when Report Line = C080 then @{Presentation Variable}*-1 Else Sales Dollars END).
    Issue I am facing:
    Presentation Variable is coming as 0 and if i give any Format (Default Value) it shows the same default value in report. I checked the SQL i used and even when I Preview the Variable its showing me $4,266.90, but not in report.
    Please let me know a way to get this Presentation Variable value into my reports.
    Also please let me know if i can achieve this requirement in any other way.

    Thanks for your reply Paul. But there is no Invoiced Amount for Report Line - 'C080' from source. Invoiced amount of C059 should show as -ve Invoiced amount for CO80.
    In a report C059 should show +ve Sales Dollars and C080 should show same amount as -Ve Sales Dollars.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

  • Exceptions not displayed using Web Application Designer

    Hi there,
    I've got a query including a simple exception. If I execute these query out of the query designer (in the web) or in the BEx Analyzer the exception is displeyd as defined. (red, green, yellow...)
    Do I use these query as DataProvider in a Web Template (Analysis Item -> Exceptions displayer as color) the exceptions are not shown. Does anybody have an idea?
    Thanks a lot in advance
    Mark

    If you need to use Exception in Web, you will have to open the query in the Web Analyzer and create an exception in the Web Analyzer in the Settings.
    Check it out.

  • Web Application Designer - Workbook Publish

    Hi All.
    I want to know with Web Application Designer is it possible to use workbooks for reporting?
    Please specify links for reference .
    Appreciate your response.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Creating templates using WAD,will take the Data Provider as Query and not workbook.
    Hence you can't use workbook for reporting with WAD.
    Workbook will come into picture in case of BEx Analyzer,wherin you will create a workbook on top of a query.

  • Prevent values being passed using Link Item on Web Application Designer

    Hello all,
    I have a question regarding 7.0 Web Application Designer. I am using the web item Link Item and using the command OPEN_TEMPLATE_DIALOG to open a new WAD Template BUT I do not want to pass the values from the original WAD template to the new one. Is there a way to restrict passing any values to the new template? Am I using the correct command OPEN_TEMPLATE_DIALOG?
    To better describe what is happening, my characteristics and key figures are being passed from my original WAD template to my new WAD template when using the OPEN_TEMPLATE_DIALOG. I do not the values to be passed, only to open up the new WAD Template with its own reports.
    Thank you.

    Sorry maybe I mistated the problem. I do not have an issue with the variable screen when transitioning to the second WAD template screen, I have a problem due to the values from the first WAD template being passed to the second WAD template.
    My first WAD template using the Link Item is only for the ability to click on the text to open up a second WAD template which I do not want the values to be passed from the First template.
    I hope this clears up the confusion.
    Thanks

  • Print PDF file with the lay out created in the BEx web application designer

    Got the following questions (problems) when print a web report created in BEx Web Application Designer to a PDF file:
    1. The tile (which has a company logo and report name in it) was not printed, is it possible to print a title (with company logo) on each page of the PDF file?
    2. Want print the filters that have value specified on the PDF file, is it possible to do this?
    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Hi Simon,
    you can achieve this requirement i.e. using this way of implementation:
    1. Create a new template which contains the required fields (company logo etc) and set the visibility of the top container to "hidden". Add a empty data provider to this template and add the filter values (variable names) you want to display on the PDF. However be aware that the name for the (empty) data provider must match the name of the data provider within the original template you want to print.
    2. Open your original template and include the template you created in step 1 (Advanced: Web Templates). Choose the appropriate location (above/below the analysis item.
    3. Check the settings of your export command: do not set a special web item to be printed.
    If you export the template within web the second template should be printed correctly.

  • Problem with layout in Web Application Designer

    Hi all,
       I am working with the BEx Web Application Designer. Well, I execute a web template in the browser, click on right button and  choose enhanced menu, query properties and mark the check box Display Rows as Hierarchy and Expand to and from the list of values (combo-box) choose the last field that can be expanded.
    Once all the lines have been expanded and the layout of the template is longer than a page, we look for a line that is not in the first page and contract it. The problem is that when we contract the line, the layout shows  the first page, instead of the page where the line had been contracted. I have tried to solve this changing the properties that appear when the template is designed, but I haven´t found the solution. Is there any way so that i can solve it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mª del Mar Bonilla.

    Bonilla,
    Welcome to SDN...
    Try this out...
    In the Query designer view , right click on the rows structure and select display as hierarchy. In case this option works fine , the behavior pointed out by you could be a possible bug.
    Just update the result of what I have mentioned above...
    Hope it helps..

  • Web Application Designer - Chart (Bar Chart) - Value description of chart

    Hi Community,
    i use the Web Application Designer in BW 3.5 to create a bar chart with the chart web item (Bar chart). Everything works fine - but in the query the values are 10.000.000  and much more. The description in the chart lokks like  10000000  - Nobody can handle this information in the chart - i could not change the values in the ODS. Is there a possibility to show only steps in 1.000.000 in the chart. In the chart description it should look like 10 and the in a text "in billion".
    Is the chart designer in the WAD possible to habdle this ? Hope you have a solution

  • Web Application Designer: Column width on analysis_item with BW 7.0

    Hi,
    I'm new to SAP world and I have found a problem I'm not able to solve. I'm working with the Web Application Designer and I want to modify the cell properties (such as cell width) for aligning different queries. In fact, my question are:
    <b>
    1. Is it possible to hard-code/specify column widths of the analysis_item?
    2. The property width of the analysis_item doesn't work, does it?
    </b>

    Hi,
    I have just discovered the capability of modifying columns widths with css properties.
    So if I add to the head section of the html:
    div.prueba2 .urSTTDBdr1
    div.prueba2 .urSTTDBdr
    div.prueba2 .urSTTDBdr2
    And later I put the AnalysisItem between a div class="prueba2" and /div, the columns widths are changed.
    Do you know where can I find all the style properties (such as urSTTDBdr1) and its functions?
    Thanks

  • Variable entry in Web application designer

    Hi,
    In the Variable entry screen in the Web app designer on executing a template, when I open the drop down menu for possible values, it leads to two more new variable entry screens wherein the selected values are populated instead of the original entry screen. This repeats for every additional variable entry selection, including the from and to selections. Any idea how this can be fixed? We are on SP7.
    Thanks.
