Variables for Queries - Issue

Hi,
I have created a variable (single value) for Material Number. When I enter my material number in the variable screen...it says range values not permitted (of course it is single value). The issue is the material number uses external numbering and is of the type 400083-05. The moment the system sees the 'dash' it thinks that I am entering a range and rejects it. After some research I found the system will accept this value if I enter the material number like this: 400083\-05. Notice the back slash. Is there anyway to overcome this?
Cheers
Anand

Anand,
Did you find a solution to the backslash?
We all of a sudden are getting this as well. Not on material however we get it on 0GL_Account and also 0WBS_element - probably others too but have stopped looking for it now.
As an example we now have displayed:
I have an Account hierarchy that is called 1-TOT_ALL, this is how it should be displayed and is how it is represented in BW ABAP and Bex analyser, however in the JAVA front end it is displayed as 1\-TOT_ALL. Everywhere that I have a "-" hyphon it is adding in the "\" backslash.
And unless you enter in the \ it doesn't work.
Not happy.
I cannot pinpoint any portal changes that could have caused this but have only just noticed it in the last week or so.

Need a Syatem variable for Executing the report by RFC.

Hi Experts,
Need a Syatem variable for Executing the report by RFC.
what i mean to say is,i can execure the report directly ...then no issues.
But if i execute the Report by RFC ,then i should put a condition with system variable...
Please suggest me ,how can put a condition when i am executing the report through RFC.
Thanks
Babu

Hello Friend,
what I understood that you want to put some extra condition if that report is getting called from RFC...
you can use the system variable SY-CPROG....it will hold the value of the report when it is geeting executing directly...
but when it is getting executed therough RFC...it will hold that RFC name...
Thanks

Creation of Variable for Hierarchy Node

Greetings...fellow matez,
 I am using Characteristic "0PROFIT_CTR" : PROFIT CENTER
 Here, I created used SAP Standard variable 0N_PCTR (Profit Center/Profit Center Hierarchy)
 This meets my requirement of allowing User to Input the TOP MOST Hierarchy Node basically means my Hierarchy.
 Now, what I need is the ability of a User Input/Key In Variable to ask for a specific Node of my Hierarchy instead of just the 'main' hierarchy
Let me demonstrate with an example :-
At the moment, I have a variable defined for "0PROFIT_CTR". So, I am able to choose "XXX GROUP" as my hierarchy.
Now, under this "XXX Group" I have several Sub-Nodes like XXX-Functional Groups ; XXX-Business Units; XXX-Subsidaries.
How can I create a variable which prompts for this Subnodes of my hierarchy ?

Matez,
Issue remains unresolved.
What I need is a Hierarchy - NODE variable for my "Profit and Loss" Hierarhy
But, when I use the variable option in the 'Selecting Variable for Hierarchy' scree, I only get to choose my Hierarchy instead of my Hierarchy Node.
How can I created a variable of type Hierarchy-NODE instead of Hierarchy for my characteristic "0Account"
Kindly advice matez!

What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple PXI(Real-Time) to GUI PC?

What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple Real time (PXI) to GUI PC? I have 16 Nos of PXI system in network and 1 nos of GUI PC. I want to send command to all the PXI system with using single variable from GUI PC(Like Start Data acquisition, Stop data Acquisition) and I also want data from each PXI system to GUI PC display purpose. Can anybody suggest me best performance system configuration. Where to create variable?(Host PC or at individual PXI system).

Dear Ravens,
I want to control real-time application from host(Command from GUI PC to PXI).Host PC should have access to all 16 sets PXI's variable. During communication failure with PXI, Host will stop data display for particular station.
Ravens Fan wrote:
Either. For the best performance, you need to determine what that means. Is it more important for each PXI machine to have access to the shared variable, or for the host PC to have access to all 16 sets of variables? If you have slowdown or issue with the network communication, what kinds of problems would it cause for each machine?
You want to located the shared variable library on whatever machine is more critical. That is probably each PXI machine, but only you know your application.

Need to Create a Last 12 Months Variable for Custom Dimension

Hi everybody
Once again, I need your good help for an issue I'm facing. In one of our Cube, we have some Date Dimension sthat we've created ourselves (a ZCXXXXX dimension). For one Dimension, Ii need to create a variable that is giving me, automaticaly, the Last 12 Months excluding Current Month (same as the 0CML12LM provided by SAP) without any manual entry done by the user via the Variable Entry Screen.
I don't want to use offset because I don't want to allow any Manual intervention for my users because it is a report start via RRI.
Please let me know if you are aware on how to do this!
Thanks
Eric L.

Hi Arun
My problem is that my report is counting Incident per supplier per Month. We have a Key Figure that is doing the Total of incident with a Vendor Variable. So, for a given supplier, if there is no incident for the Incident Month, it won't display in the Result Page. Also, My report is dynamic so I'can not fix a Structure. On the other hand, I never used Strucutre, so I'm not really aware on how using this and if it will answer my need.
If you can give me more details, maybe I'll be able if a Structure is my solution.

Variable for navigational attribute affected fiscper input variable

Dear Friends
Initially, the query is having an input variable for fiscper. The query was able to run properly.
When i add a input variable for a navigational attribute to the same query which is based on multiprovider, the fiscper input variable is no longer seen.
So, I removed the global filter for the navigational attribute and it is ok again. I fixed a value for the navigational attribute at filter level is also fine.
Please advise what could be the cause. Thank you so much.
Best regards
Bass

Hi Bass,
Again seems to be a strange issue, if you have two independent characteristic with two different input enabled variables then there is no reason for the variable to not to show up on selection screen.
Once you add the new variable and save the query just make sure that you have earlier variable as it is and check the query properties popup and see the fiscper variable sequence in the variable list.

Durgesh.

Which Event Classes i should use for finding good indexs and statistics for queries in SP.

Dear all,
I am trying to use pro filer to create a trace,so that it can be used as workload in
"Database Engine Tuning Advisor" for optimization of one stored procedure.
Please tel me about the Event classes which i should use in trace.
The stored proc contains three insert queries which insert data into a table variable,
Finally a select query is used on same table variable with one union of the same table variable, to generate a sequence for records based on certain condition of few columns.
There are three cases where i am using the above structure of the SP, so there are three SPS out of three , i will chose one based on their performance.
1) There is only one table with three inserts which gets into a table variable with a final sequence creation block.
2) There are 15 tables with 45 inserts , which gets into a tabel variable with a final
sequence creation block.
3)
There are 3 tables with 9 inserts , which gets into a table variable with a final
sequence creation block.
In all the above case number of record will be around 5 lacks.
Purpose is optimization of queries in SP
like which Event Classes i should use for finding good indexs and statistics for queries in SP.
yours sincerely

"Database Engine Tuning Advisor" for optimization of one stored procedure.
Please tel me about the Event classes which i should use in trace.
You can use the "Tuning" template to capture the workload to a trace file that can be used by the DETA. See
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190957(v=sql.105).aspx
If you are capturing the workload of a production server, I suggest you not do that directly from Profiler as that can impact server performance. Instead, start/stop the Profiler Tuning template against a test server and then script the trace
definition (File-->Export-->Script Trace Definition). You can then customize the script (e.g. file name) and run the script against the prod server to capture the workload to the specified file. Stop and remove the trace after the workload
is captured with sp_trace_setstatus:
DECLARE @TraceID int = <trace id returned by the trace create script>
EXEC sp_trace_setstatus @TraceID, 0; --stop trace
EXEC sp_trace_setstatus @TraceID, 2; --remove trace definition

Using variables for answers to fill-in-the-blank questions

Hello,
For fill-in-the-blank questions, one has to provide answers. I want to provide these in the form of (user-created) variables, rather than in the form of fixed strings of characters (so then, as $$var1$$ rather than as 'rabbit'). I haven't been able to get this to work. The enter variable function is indeed available (in the properties panel), but it doesn't actually work (i.e. even if you select a variable to be entered, it doesn't actually get entered).
Is there a way around the problem?
1. NB that this same issue holds for text entry boxes (rather than fill-in-the-blank questions). If I could get this to work for text entry boxes, I would use them rather than fill-in-the-blank questions.
2. One can use variables for answers to multiple choice questions. So I'm hoping I can get it to work for fill-in-the-blank questions as well.
Thank you in advance. Marvin DuBois

That would have been my suggestion. I don't have a dedicated blog post, but use TEB's for that kind of questions myself as well. And contrary to the widget/interaction I mentioned before, a TEB is an interactive object, which means it can be validated and there can be a score attached to it. But, it will not help you, since you have to add the correct answers in the same way as for a dropdown list in the FIB question (they are sort of TEB's there). And it is that list that doesn't allow to enter a variable instead of a fixed sequence of characters.
Which means that you are back to the advanced actions, same as in my blog posts with the widget/interaction.
Have a workaround (after all I am the workaround Queen) to have reporting, if you need to check only one TEB, described here:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/report-custom-questions-part-2
The idea is to use another interactive object that can have a score. In reality I use two instances of that same object: one with score 0 and one with score X and show the right one depending on the conditional action.
However if you want to have multiple TEB's on the same slide, that have to be checked all with the same advanced action, than you'll need either the Mastery widget by InfoSemantics (only for SWF output) or Javascript.

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,
Bandi

Hi,
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.

Daresbury purchase price will be variable for a given material from one sal

HI
This is the Issue came from my client
Daresbury purchase price will be variable for a given material from one sales order to another. System currently allows manual enter prices on purchase req in relation to selling price. Price in Pur Info Req has price of 0.01, Purchase order takes price of

I probably have at least over 2000 songs in my iTunes, plus a couple of videos. Though since I can always still use my desktop for anything else, maybe it is better I take the 256 over the 128. I had read a lot of other topics on this with a lot of people saying it is better to go with the 8GB memory and I would buy that also if I could, but I can't and of course I want this laptop to last me a while.
Thanks for your help I think I'll go for the 256 + 4 instead, and I presume I can always get other external drives to store anything if I really need to down the road.

Urgent!!Variable for days not displaying properly!!!

When executing the Query,Variable for displaying Aging in days are not displaying between the selection.Pls any one help with regard to it.Pls tell wht r the main thing to be taken to consideration for this issue.
Thanks

Hi
We have 2 formula var.
Current Cal day which is based on SAP exit ,single val ,mandatory & dimension is date
Another Formula var--PR Info date based on Replacemtn path ,replace with infoobject ,key,Interval value from,offset 0 to 8,single val ,optional & dimention tab as date.
So calculating Ageing as Var Current Cal day Minus VarPR Info date
Then u have condition for Ageing Selection, with above calculating ageing -
operator between, another var as AGING Frm & aging TO which is form var by manual input ,interval is From val & Offset start & length as 0 & 0, single val & optional..

Customized variable for Bex

Hi Gurus;
I am using BI 7.0. My client wants a customized variable for 0CALMONTH with 2 dialog boxes in the selection screen saying "From month" and "To Month". When you input months, say; 06.2008 in "From Month" and 08.2008 in "To Month", the output which will come is data from all the months between 06.2008 and 08.2008. The 2 dialog boxes are important in this screen. I know. it can be done through interval option in BI 7.0, but the dialog boxes doesn't appear in the first screen of the Selection Screen (Like in 3.x).Is there a way to fulfill my client's requirement? Please provide me a step - by - step guide if possible.
Regards;
Sumanta

Sumanta,
Could you please clarify
1 ] whether you are using BEx Analyser or Web queires to execute the report? Does your query has only the custom variable as it selection parmeter?
2] Is your Custom variable(with Interval) for 0CALMONTH is defined as mandatory / optinal ?
If you are using Web queries and you variable is defined as optional, then there is setting that you need to do on the web template that you are using.
Choose you web template on the properties tab> Choose Web Template parameters>under the behaviour section ,choose check box for Display variable, as the default is off. This means that if you have Custom variables that are optional on you BI query will not be display as selection screen.
Hope this help,
Cheers,
Balaji

ABAP to set "Switched on/off BIA indexes for queries" flag?

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know if the "Switch on/off BIA Indexes for Queries" can be set for a specific cube by a delivered ABAP?
Here's my scenario. We go live with BIA next Monday 9/22. I've indexed our cubes in production BIA this past weekend and they're rolled up nightly. Until the go-live, I've manually set the "Switched Off for Queries" flag via RSDDBIAMON > BI Accelerator > Index Settings > Switch on/off BIA Indexes for Queries".
However, one indexed cube is deleted fully every night by the flag in the full load infopackage. In testing, I saw that the BIA fact table index was fully deleted when the E and F tables of the cube were truncated, and then reindexed when the full package is loaded and rolled up. This is all ok.
The issue is that after the delete, load and rollup, the "Switched Off for Queries" flag is not set. I have had to manually reset to off in the morning. This won't be an issue (hopefully) once we go live, but it does seem like a bug and I'll likely submit a customer message. I would think the delete, index and rollup process should not change the status of this flag.
Does anyone know if that flag can be programatically set?
Thanks for any advice,
Doug

Thanks, Vitaliy!
I think you're exactly right. Its seems to be a bug in processing of just this specific type of index reprocessing, e.g. dropping and reindexing. The indexing process properly retains INA status on the other delta indexed cubes.
I'm barely ABAP OO literate, but do understand enough to find, review and test the class and method code. Thanks for finding it!
Also, I reviewed table RSDDTREXDIR and it is correct/current. It does spawn another question, though. The field ITYPE (Type of BIA Index) is consistently ICB exept for 2 cubes/indexes, which are typed as PA2 and PA9. When I check possible values on the domain, RSDDTREX_TAGGR_TYPE, it only lists ICB and ICF (Infocube - flat).
Any idea what types PA2 and PA9 are, and why these 2 cubes would be different? From my perspective, they're basic infocubes, same as all the others.
Thanks again,
Doug

Variable for hierarchie node

Hi,
i use in my query different hierarchie nodes in columns
For example
COL A: Hierarchie Countries Node: World
COL B: Hierarchie Countries Node: Europe
in an other Query
COL A: Hierarchie Countries Node: World
COL B: Hierarchie Countries Node: Asia
So i'd like to use a variable for these nodes to enter Europe or Asia.
I've a variable for hierarchies, but when i use it i can only enter the name of the hierarchie. Here countries.
How can i enter nodes in a variable and store them in one workbook with different tables. Both tables use the same query but one with Europe and one with Asia
Thanks for help .... Markus

Markus,
Do you mean to say :
You have different hiearchies in two different queries and would like to enter only the node ? did you try using Hierarchy node variables - this should allow you to select a hierarchy node from the hierarchy attached.
or did you mean that depending on your node input the query should select the appropriate hierarchy - you can try this using a user exit not sure if it can be done in any other way.

Variable for section number

I know there is a variable for chapter number and figure number. Is there a variable for section number? I am in a situation with several chapters in one document - and I am not allowed to separate them into separate chapters or use the book panel. And they want the figures to increment by chapter and be picked up in the cross referencing.
So the logical solution to me is to use a section number variable instead of a chapter number variable in the paragraph style. Is there such a thing?
I asked about this issue at Photoshop World last week, but did not think to ask it this way. So I'm still hoping there might be a way.
Thanks,
Marcy

Peter,
Would that special character work in a paragraph style to assign the section number, for example to figure 7-1 where 7 is the section number? If so, how would I insert the special character in the bullets and numbering section of a paragraph style? If I could do that, I may even be a hero to my client!
Thanks,
Marcy
