Variables in Bex Analyser

Hi,
I am trying to include two variables (ZCS_TDAT - User Entry/Default Value ,Selection Option,Ready for Input and ZCS_DDAT - Customer Exit,Selection Option , Not Ready for Input) both under 0CALMONTH.
While trying to move them in Rows it is giving me an error 'Variable ZCS_DDAT is complex ('selection option' or'query /type').You cannot use any other entries in the selection.
My main ain is to get a set of Results till Date. I do not wish to get results within a date range.
Can someone help me with this issue.
Thanks,
Purbali

Binding variables to a button in BEx Analyser

Hi,
I have built a planning application in BEx Analyser but I am having an issue with planning sequences I have attached to a button.
I have attached a planning sequence to a Save button, carried out the steps of choosing planning sequence radio button, the appropriate data provider, attaching the planning sequence etc and then I attached a save to that same button as well. So when I run the application now it tells me the planning sequence ran with no issues and the data was saved. But I get an error message also saying: Parameter VAR_VALUE_LOW(_EXT)_2 is missing for variable ZINGRNG1
The data gets saved but the planning sequence doesnt actually execute despite it saying so. I know it is not an issue with the planning sequence as I have the same planning application built in BEx Web Application Designer.
To explain further I have 2 dropdowns boxes with must be selected before the the data becomes input ready and it as if when I save it doesnt recognise these variables or something.
Can any shed some light on this issue. Need to resolve it if at all possible for a presentation I am doing.
Thanks,
Elle

IP - Various problems with BEX Analyser - help would be nice

Hi,
we use IP in combination with BEX analyser. We experience certain problems. Does anyone experienced the same issues mentioned below:
1) if a planning function is executed, it is executed twice when your cursor is within the query itself. If it is outside the query when clicking on the button, it is executed once (like it should).
2) Locking: we don't have locking problems, but from the moment two people lock each other once, they need to close their analyser and re-open it (so logon again) in order to be able to start planning again in a non-locked part. If they just change their selection (to the not-lock part) they remain locked!!!
3) planning function with multiple variables: system cannot retrieve values of all variables.
details of function:
CMD                                               1       EXECUTE_PLANNING_FUNCTION
PLANNING FUNCTION NAME           1      AG10_COPY01
DATA PROVIDER_FILTER                 1     DATA_PROVIDER_1
VAR_NAME                                     1       PROF_CTR
VAR_VALUE                                    1       510
VAR_NAME                                     2     PERIOD
VAR_VALUE                                    2        012
VAR_NAME                                     3       CUSTOMER
VAR_VALUE                                    3     1000
-> following the instruction of the SAP course, in case of multiplle variables they should start from 0 and have an incremental increase. But the system only recognizes the variable with index = 1
regards
D

Dear Dries,
could it be that the variable type you use require a different set of commands?
In general the parameters of the BEx Analyzer follow the rules of the SAp BW 3.5 Webruntime. When reading this detailed documentation you find that depending on the type of variable other names have to be used, e.g. when using a selection option variable you need something line varname_low, varname_high, ...
The documentation can be found in the online-help:

Button in Bex Analyser 7.0 - problem with setting up Static Parameters

Hello,
I know a similar problem has been discussed here already, but I am still having problems with setting up Static Parameters of my Button in BEx Analyser 7.0, so that I can pass Variable values from that button to my query.
This is what I do - in Static Parameters of my Button I set the following values:
Name                          Index          Value
DATA_PROVIDER        0               DP_1
CMD                             0               PROCESS_VARIABLES
SUBCMD                      0               VAR_SUBMIT
VAR_NAME                 0               0RMA_FIP
VAR_VALUE               0               004/2010
As a result, I would like the value 004/2010 to be passed to variable 0RMA_FIP (which is mandatory) and the query to be executed with that value. For some reason, however, the value is not passed correctly, and instead the variable is filled with a blank or not filled at all, and I am getting a message "Specifiy value for variable Fiscal year/period". What do I do wrong?
Just to give you a broader picture - I would like to later use this logic to pass more than one variables into a query, including a hierarchy node, and read the values from an Excel worksheet - however, after many attempts to do so, I started playing with just one variable to figure out what the problem was.
I have already seen the following two threads and SAP notes on passing variable values from the button:
Re: Button in BEx Analyzer 7.0
Re: How to set variables values via VBA.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0881371-78a1-2910-f0b8-af3e184929be?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
Can anyone please advise?
Cheers,
AL

I managed to figure it out myself!
Instead of VAR_VALUE I need to enter VAR_VALUE_EXT, and it works fine.
I will mark this thread as "answered".

BEx Analyser: how to add filter information in query output

Hello,
When query is executed in BEx Analyser, there are three buttons with additional info. But none of them shows the selections that were made when the report was executed (variable screen) and the "static" filters within the query definition. How can I solve this problem?
Thank you.
Kind regards,

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

How to see selection variable in BEX WEB ANALZYER

Hi,
I'm not able to see the values of selection variables in bex web analyzer report. pls help.

Thank you for your response. But it didn't work.
I am able to go to 'lay out' option in bex analyzer and set 'display text variables' to All so that I can display all the variables in report. Is there any similar option available in bex web analyzer.
I am able to see the variable selection parameters I have selected in 'INFORMATION' tab of web analyzer. But I would like to see the same variables on 'data analysis' tab.
Do I need to change any setting in order to display filter values that are entered during run time of the report.

Can't see any loaded data in BEx Analyser

The data is loaded to InfoCube successfuly and I can see it via RSA1. The query is made successfully in BEx Query Designer too (checked). But when I open query in BEx Analyser I get nothing. What may be the problem? I am a beginner, it is my first BEx query and may be it is a very easy problem.
Thanks,
Olga

There could be N no. of reasons:
1. check the filter in your query. The data may not be there in the cube corresponding to this filter.
2. Check your variable entry. Make sure that you are selecting the value for which there is data in the cube.
3. Check the inforprovider on which the report is made. Check the cube name.
4. Try running the other query just to check if the Analyzer is working fine.
Thanks..

Commands (interface) for BEx Analyser

Hi Gurus,
has anyone a complete documentation or has detailed information about the functionality that can be used Excel/BEx Analyser (e.g. with buttons)?
Example:
With button commands you can set variables or set the input mode of a query:
CMD 1 SET_INPUT_MODE
SET_INPUT_MODE 1 ACTIVE
Any info about the command interface of the BEx Analyser is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Leo

The problem is solved for greek letter by adding a system variable sap_codepage - 1704. But only one entry can be maitained for this variable. And the report still cannot identify Russian characters.
Is there any way to solve this problem for BEX 3.X for all multiple languages?

What is difference between bex analyser and bex browser

what is difference between bex analyser and bex browser . please explain what are use of both and what we do in both.

hi
Bex Browser
The Business Explorer Browser (BEx Browser) makes it possible for you to access all document types of the Business Information Warehouse that are assigned to your role or that you have stored in your favorites. You can select and open documents assigned to you in the BEx Browser or store and manage new documents in the BEx Browser.
Document types that you can work with in the BEx Browser are:
· BW workbooks
· Documents that are stored in the Business Document Service (BDS)
· Links (references to file system, shortcuts)
· Links to internet sites (URLs)
· SAP transaction calls.
· Web applications and Web templates
· Crystal Reports
Bex Analyser
The Business Explorer Analyzer (BEx Analyzer) is the analysis and reporting tool of the Business Explorer that is embedded in Microsoft Excel.
Features
You can call up the BEx Query Designer in the BEx Analyzer, in order to define queries. Subsequently, you can analyze the selected InfoProvider data by navigation to the query created in the Query Designer and create different query views of the data. You can add the different query views for a query or for different queries to a work book and save them there. You can save the workbook in your favorites or in your role on the BW Server. You can also save the workbook locally on your computer.
Beyond that, you can precalculate the workbook and distribute it by e-mail to recipeients or you can export it to the Enterprise Portal and make it accessible to other employees in the company.
You can start queries in a standard view (with a Standard Web Template set up in Customizing) in the Web browser and forward the URL or continue to navigate on the Web. Similarly, you can export the Web query to MS Excel 2000.
Overview of the Functional Area of the BEx Analyzer:
·        BEx toolbar
You access the functions of the BEx Analyzer from the BEx toolbar, which takes you to the BEx Open dialog box where you can open existing queries, or to the BEx Query Designer where you can create new queries or change existing queries.
·        Evaluating Query Data
The BEx Analyzer offers convenient functions for evaluating and presenting InfoProvider data interactively. In the BEx Analyzer, you can add queries to workbooks, navigate within them and refresh the data. You can also process the queries further in Microsoft Excel or display them in the Web browser in a default view.
Navigation of a query allows you, for example, to filter characteristics on a single value, drilldown on all values for a characteristic, regroup characteristics and key figures in the rows and columns of the results area, or hide key figures. Navigation results in different views of the InfoProvider data. In addition, a range of further functions is available which allow you to edit a query interactively (for example, sorting, cumulated output, among others). In addition, you can use the editing functions in Microsoft Excel in order to set up individual format templates, to print results areas, or to create graphics.
·        Queries in Workbooks
Queries are inserted into workbooks so you can display them. When you insert a query, a link is made between the cell areas of the worksheet and the data of the InfoProvider upon which the query is based. A link therefore exists between the Business Explorer and the Business Information Warehouse Server (BW Server).
When inserting a query into the workbook, a VBA routine is automatically generated in the workbook. You can also connect the Business Explorer with your own VBA programs (Visual Basic for Applications).
You can create workbook templates, into which you can insert your queries. Workbook templates can contain pre-determined items for the area of the query, formatting settings, logos, VBA macros, and so on.
·        Precalculating workbooks
You can precalculate and distribute workbooks with the BEx Broadcaster, which is a Web application you get to form the BEx toolbar. The system generates MS Excel workbooks with historical data. You determine the time for precalculation yourself: You can have workbooks precalculated at a predefined time or they can be precalculated whenever data in the underlying InfoProvider changes. You can have the precalculated workbooks sent by e-mail or you can export them into the Enterprise Portal, where you can make them available to employees within your company.
Activities
To start the BEx Analyzer, choose Start ® Programs ® SAP Front-end Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Business Explorer Analyzer.
You can also access the BEx Analyzer via SAP Easy Access ® SAP Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Menu ® Business Explorer ® Analyzer or in the Business Explorer Browser using the Business Explorer Analyzer symbol in the menu bar.
Hope this will solve your issu

How to create Text Variables in BEx Query Designer

How can i create Text Variables in Bex Q.D.
I am able to create characteristic variables
but i can't find option to create text variables.
What's the requirement to create Text variables in Bex Q.D.
When i try to create Text variable for 0calDay.. the variable type is characteristic by Default and disabled.
How can i create text variables related to 0CalDay with which i need to work in Customer Exit.

Hi,
You have to create characteristic variable processing by Customer Exit by considering 0CalDay as a Reference Characteristic
After creation of the above variable, you restrict your KF with the above created variable.
Now you can create a Text variable for the description of your KF. This way it works...........

The length of the password entry field in the BEx Analyser

Hi,
The password is 8 characters in the BW system.
When users changing their newly assigned passwords. When logging into the BEx Analyser, and prompted to change the password, a password entry box is displayed, with an entry field longer then 8 characters. Some users are therefore entering passwords longer then 8 characters. This is fine when they first login, but when they try come back to the system, their logon fails.
Can something be done to restrict the length of the password entry field in the BEx Analyser?
Many Thanks
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan
we are having the same problem - did you find a way to resolve this? I did not find any SAP notes referring to the issue.

BI-IP Bex Analyser - Input Queries / Workbooks

Hi experts,
In BI-IP (BW 7) with Bex Analyser, we want to make an input query with the standard chars. WBS Element and Asset Class. In our business 1 WBS can be planned to several asset classes, but 1 asset class only has 1 WBS. The link between both is made by a common attribute value (the account determination).
Ex:
WBS A - Account determination 123
Asset Class A - Account determination 123
Asset Class B - Account determination 123
We want the input query to show automatically:
WBS A - Asset Class A
- Asset Class B
Any suggestions?
Thanks and Regards,
MA

Maria,
You need a characteristic relationship of type combination/proposal.
